So as I tried to update to new software I noticed it just kept booting into TWRP. So I decided I wanted to unroot my phone. Didn't go so well. I rebooted and now it just keeps booting into recovery. I have no idea what to do now. I have a backup on my computer, but the device is not recognized anymore. So I can't just copy it over to my phones storage.
A tutorial or walkthrough on how to restore your phone from a backup on your computer would be really great. Everything you can do that is help related is appreciated to.

Update: I found out I have no OS installed. So I was correct. Now my question is how do I install my OS again?

I am not familiar with adb, and im trying to install it now. But just get that the command isn't recognized.
more info on what commands to use would be very useful
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-201-10-basic-terminal-commands-you-should-know
You'll probably want to use ADB push.
update
Yea thanks. I found out a few minutes ago. That I were able to push files from my computer over to the sdcard using the command. ADB push rom.zip sdcard/rom.zip
took a while, and am using a custom rom, which looks to be running pretty nice.

all my Rom zips and backups are gone. How can I access my internal SD card to copy a ROM over to it then flash?
I have no OS installed so it wont boot into anything except TWRP recovery
step by step instructions greatly appreciated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: This is how I fixed my phone
I used the AIO toolkit to "Flash My Own Recovery" after I downloaded CWM Touch
http://goo.im/devs/Flyhalf205/M7WLS/Recovery/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7wls.img
I flashed CWM then booted into recovery and selected sideload
I used the AIO tool kit to select my ROM of choice and it installed perfectly
I am now in my phone and able to access my internal storage
Connect to PC, the copy over to storage on phone. Boot into recovery and install.

PC doesn't connect to internal storage unless completely booted into a ROM. I have no ROM installed. Just plugging my phone in to my PC doesn't open up my storage
Did you plug the phone in and let it install drivers? i'm assuming you're running Windows 7/8.
EDIT: Did you try ADB to see if computer recognizes phone? You could flash rom this way if it does.

Ive had the phone plugged in many times and all drivers installed. When I plug it in now, my PC makes that noise that something is connected, but I don't get any prompts to install drivers or notifications that a device is connected.
If I try to boot, it just stays on the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen and goes no further

no I haven't. What is ADB?
Are you trying to get into recovery (Power/vol down)?? If you can't get into that you need to use fastboot (ADB) to reflash recovery so you can access your internal. I'm guessing you know how to do this since you already had it. If not, lemme know. I can try and give step by step to get it back.

I can get into recovery no problem. I can even view whats currently on my internal storage (which is nothing lol) but I just need to connect to it to copy a ROM over

Ok, I gotcha now. Sounds like the drivers aren't working between the phone & PC.
Goto HTC and download HTC Sync, sorry can't cause I don't have enough posts to show link.
Leave phone disconnected and let it install. Then try again. Report back.
Kinda a novice here but you did say you formatted the SD so I would ask how? But more importantly to what file format? fat32?
Not even sure what it is supposed to be but in trouble shooting this I would make sure the SD is formatted correctly. Just saying...and sorry for butting in here.

There is a format option through TWRP (wipe/format data) that formats EVERYTHING. So whatever TWRP formats it as is what it is.

Hey guys in recovery currently trying to get a rom transfered over. I can't open the removable disk on my computer for some reason? So i'm stuck in recovery till I can get a ROM on it. Using TWRP btw.
Drivers installed? Does it show up in devices and printers?

You cannot connect to PC as storage device while in recovery, as of yet. You'll have to ADB sideload a rom. I'm assuming you wiped internal memory?
ya no big deal there thats saved me sideloading
Sorry for abandoning my thread. Yeah I sideloaded and got things working.

Im having this same issue, after trying to flash android revolution on my unlocked/rooted rogers One, it froze on the successfully installed part and I had to wait for it to die to try to restart it.
I cannot boot into recovery or connect it to my computer in any way, ./adb reboot bootloader doesnt work it says cannot find device.
When I vol down + power the bottom lights just blink and the phone does nothing.
Any idea on how I can reflash the phone?

I have this same problem as well. I also believe I have bricked my HTC One (ATT) and I tried to flash the stock boot.img but when connected to my computer, the phone is completely empty with no download folder, apps folder or anything like it was on stock. I'm on TWRP Recovery but how to I reinstall the boot.img and fix the phone and put it back into factory settings?
Hi guys,
First time on XDA, however, I have read a fair bit and like the people
I started playing around with my phone a couple of weeks ago and I installed Cyanogenmod 11 with no problems. I then decided that I wanted to do a clean install to the update that was released a couple of days ago. So, I wipe ALL data. I thought that if I went into fastboot USB that it would allow me to just mount the phone to my computer and put the new ROM on the device. Unfortunately, I'm not able to access the phone anymore through my computer, so I can't load the ROM onto it. Please help >.<
I have a HTC One (GSM)
Boot into recovery. You should be able to adb push or adb sideload a Rom. There are lots of guides on it

I can go into recovery, yes. I have teamwin recovery installed. I don't have ANY data on the phone except the recovery software. I can go into ADB sideload, but it just hangs. I should have the drivers installed. When I go into device manager, it shows "android device".
You try sending a small .zip file over adb.. any small flashable .zip just to see if it makes it and loads up?
If it does load up on the device than its prob just the Rom size that's either causing it to hang up or slow transfer speed

Sorry, that was very ambiguous. What I should have said is that the file transfer and in the CMD it says that it was successful, but on the phone it says that it failed. I tried transferring cm-20140609-SNAPSHOT-M7-m7.zip. It comes up with this:
updating partition details...
Starting ADV sideload feature...
installing '/data/media/sideload.zip'...
checking for MD5 file...
skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/data/
Forget sideload. Try adb push

I got it working the problem was the newest update from CM. I changed to the update in May and it worked straight away Kinda sad though because I was going to justify getting a new one because it was dead >.<

Install this recovery http://mdmower.cmphys.com/download/317/?version=2.8.1.1
Then connect the device to your computer and you should see the storage connected as MTP. Copy your Rom to it like you do normally and flash. Maybe you must wait a little before the storage appears connected to the computer.

There is no need for donation. If you want to donate give it to some poor people in your area our to the devs of the Rom/kernel you are using.
