I am in a strange situation, and can't figure out the easiest way to fix it. I need to return my HTC One to Sprint, so I went back to S-Off, relocked, and tried to flash a "Stock ROM and Recovery" zip.
Here's the problem:
When I turn on the phone, it reboots into recovery (which is TWRP)
Can't figure out how to push a file onto the phone to flash. Tried ADB push from recovery, the file shows up, but then disappears once the push is done.
Here's what I think caused it:
Trying to flash a "Return to stock ROM and recovery" zip after I had already re-locked, etc.
I unlocked again, but can't get any files onto the phone, far as I can tell. I really wish TWRP had a mount USB storage option.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a ton.
While booted into twrp open a cmd window and type adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
make sure the .zip you are pushing is in the folder you are using to run your commands
or
Run the 3.04 RUU

Thanks for the response. Was able to relock via fastboot command and then run the RUU exe.

Download this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
in recovery, choose install zip from sideload
in the toolkit, choose adb sideload a rom
choose rom
flash & reboot, good luck, took me 3 trys until fixed sdcard issues
You can push the ROM zip to your 'sdcard' using adb (adb push xxxx.zip /sdcard/xxxx.zip).
If you need more information, either look here, or just search the internets.
Don't panic. There's no such thing as a brick (if the screen turns on or computer recognises the phone).

Don't worry if it is booting to recovery it is not bricked, bricked is when it does nothing.
Can you boot to bootloader? If so you can fastboot flash an RUU (if you fail all other attempts to flash a rom with recovery)
You need the proper HTC drivers for ADB to recognize the device. Download and install HTC Sync Manager and also Android SDK Manager to get the platform-tools folder required to use ADB. Google both of them.
I want to return to stock Ive messed a few things up. Is there a RUU for 1.31?
?
Yeah, I second that request...
Reading through the forums, there isn't one released yet.

I realize this post is hard to follow and all over the place, but I'm tired.
Without a RUU:
Have ADB drivers ready to go if you don't already.
First be sure the bootloader is unlocked via HTCDev.
Next, get a copy of both TWRP and CWM recoveries, you can read why both at the end of the post.
Download the stock rom/stock rooted rom from the thread in development.
Plug the phone into USB and copy the rom onto the phone. Will most likely need to be in a folder called "0" in the root folder.
Open a shell and navigate to your copies of fastboot and adb from the HTCDev unlock.
"adb reboot-bootloader" "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img"
This will flash TWRP, make sure that you change TWRP.img to the actual file name.
If TWRP doesn't work (like mine didn't), no big deal. Issue the following commands:
"adb reboot-bootloader" "fastboot flash recovery CWM.img"
This will flash clockwork mod recovery, which worked better for me than TWRP.
After you figure out which recovery you want, wipe data/factory reset.
Navigate to 0 and select the stock rom that you downloaded.
One of the recoveries will only see the "0" folder, it's a bug. I believe if you're on TWRP, you can only access 0 which is why you need to put the rom there. Clockworkmod should be able to see anything, but if I remember correctly immediately reboots with the latest firmware.
Flash the room and reboot.
That's how you can go back to stock without a RUU. All of this is from memory but it's accurate. The other option would be to S-OFF via revone and downgrade afterwards. You CAN use revone on the newest firmware - I did it earlier.
Good luck and all that jazz.
Why both recoveries:
TWRP ****ed up really hard on 1.29.x for me and failed to flash or see any files. CWM worked for me on 1.29.x but instantly reboots on 1.31.x. TWRP works for me on 1.31.x but can only see within /sdcard/0/, meaning nothing outside that 0 folder is flashable.
Other notes:
There's also some **** about USB-OTG but I didn't mess around with that. I've been working with multiple Ones over the passed few days and the steps above worked for me. I realize this post is hard to follow and all over the place, but this is all I've been doing this past week and I've got a lot of info on it.
Another note:
If you don't have a working install on the phone to boot into, you can do what I did and boot into the bootloader and use
adb push file.zip /sdcard/0/
Then boot into the recovery and it should be installable.
SO I wiped my whole internal memory after creating a backup of my rom and trying to flash a new one. I quickly press to wipe and I guess i picked to wipe my internal memory too. So now I have No OS on the phone and nothing on the card to flash.
I tried ADB Sideload and all i got it was can't mount system, and cach..Samething happens if I try to backup or mount
I tried to send my zip file through fastboot with the "fastboot flash data " command but at the end I get a failed bootloader checking and I tried the same with system and nothing happen or I count find my zip file when I went back to recovery.
SO can someone help me fix this ? or Is there an RUU i can use?? my phone Hboot is 1.55 and came with Android 4.3 so idk if any old RUU will work
Oh and ADB dont some to work ...I get an error telling that it can't find devices.

I have had the issue of ADB unable to find devices. Don't know if this will help you, but has worked for me. Make sure phone if powered off. Hold the volume down button and press and hold the power button in order to boot into bootloader. Then plug your phone into the computer. You should see the screen change to Fastboot USB. From my experience, that is where you need to be.
YMMV. Good luck.

If you want to sideload you'll need TWRP recovery. Here's a guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318497 I myself had trouble finding my device, but than I uninstalled all the HTC drivers I had and installed the "universal naked driver" from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
I have the exact same thing I can't save a ROM to the device to flash it anymore I just want it to go back to stock I don't want root anymore it never works. My bootloader version is 3.04.651.2 which is too high to use the RUU installer. I can't mount the storage to use any of the S-Off Tools to downgrade it. I can't even push files using adb. All because of a ROM....

If you dont have a custom recovery make sure you flash one thru bootloader, fastboot. Regardless of you Hboot or bootlaoder number, you can get it unlock at the htcdev.com website. then you have to flash TWRP recovery. After doing then go to recovery....Don't do anything yet, make sure that you computer recognizes your phone. THATS the mistake I made. Open device manager and look for android USB devices if its not there then you need to install the adb drivers. If its there then on TWRP recovery look for adb side... I think its under advance .... then open the command to tour adb folder and type "adb version" you need at least 1.0.21 or higher. then type adb sideload name of rom.zip
Is it possible to gain root (on an unlocked + S-OFF device), without flashing a custom recovery?
I've been searching for a couple of hours, but couldn't find a working solution.
The superboot method doesn't seem to be working, something to do with not being able to boot into an image from fastboot anymore (I'm on the latest firmware/hboot).
Any other methods available?
Thanks in advance.

If you want to use superboot then use an hBoot of 1.44. other then that you have to flash a custom recovery
These directions are based on Win7 pc...Assuming you have ADB, drivers and fastboot on your machine:
You need a recovery to use temporarily. Download (to your computer) the one you like and proceed:
Reboot phone to bootloader, enter fastboot
The next step temporarily boots your phone to a recovery. On a command prompt, CD to the directory where you downloaded the recovery image, then enter this:
fastboot boot "recovery.img"
You need to replace "recovery.img" with the file name of your choice that you downloaded: CWM or TWRP...also, do not use "quotes"
You should be in CWM or TWRP now.
Backup your phone with the recovery's nandroid...DO IT.
All you need to do is select the option to reboot. When you do, the recovery will ask you if you want to install root. Select "Yes" and you're basically done.
When you phone reboots, it will maintain the stock recovery and you'll have su in system/bin as well as the superuser apk in system/app. Now install busybox from the play store.

I've tried that with the superboot method, and it looks like it's not working anymore with the latest stock rom (or might be a 4.3 change). It just hangs and the phone freezes, until I hard reset with the power button.
I did another search now and it seems that the command might have been replaced with "fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img", at least on the Nexus 4.
I'll look into it when I get back home.

"fastboot boot ..." no longer works as of hboot 1.54+, it used to work on hboot 1.44.

Exactly what i was going to reply. I had tested this on my stock Hboot 1.54 to keep a 1:1 backup but failed miserably.
I have the same problem...

Hi,
I had Android revolution installed on my M7. I've started to play with TWRP recovery and I've bricked my phone. It's now turning on straight to TWRP recovery, even if i will choose to boot system. Can you help me fix it?

What have you done exactly from TWRP? Wiped /system? Tried to flash a rom? Formatted /data?
download a rom and push it to you internal storage and then flash it using the "install" function in twrp recovery. You won't be able to flash lollipop rom on this phone because the firmware installed is to old.
i don't know how to do this. i can't find software for ORANG001. maybe i can install some custom ROM?
If the phone will be working fine i know how to do s-off, change cid and flash it with stock rom.
Is there any other way to gain s-off except rumrunner?

Your on hboot 1.57. There is only one way to s-off 1.57 and thats Sunshine app. Which cost £25. But before you can s-off you need a functional rom on the device.
You can use this http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_84.0.zip
Download the rom and put it in your fastboot folder and rename it something simple like rom.zip.
If you have twrp 2.8.5.x you should be able to enable MTP in recovery then just copy the rom strait to you internal storage from you pc and install it.
Older versions of twrp don't support MTP in which case you will need to adb push the rom to your device. Instructions below
With the rom.zip in your fastboot folder. Open a adb/fastboot command window. Boot the device to recovery and connect usb. Check adb is working by typing
Code:
adb devices
if you get the expected out put push the rom with
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete. When it's done install the rom with TWRP.

thank you for your help. I've managed to copy rom file using 'push' option Hopefully it will be working fine now
