[Q] i hope i didn't brick this phone!

I was doing pretty well:
unlocked, and got TWRP installed.
got su in place
then I did something stupid...I was planning to install custom rom..but I forgot to transfer it to the phone...
I did a wipe of cache, dalvik and system and suggested by rom poster...
and now I'm supposed to install the new rom..but oops..it's not on phone, and since its not removable, I dont know how to mount it...? i tried adb..but it doesn't seem to see the phone..and I'm really not sure what to do next?
Thank you!

Go to twrp website and they have directions on how to adb side load. Ill find a link I used on my DNA that gives clearer directions also. Adb sideload works the same on all devices that use twrp if in not mistaken

hmmm, I went to the site and followed instructions...but....
when I run ADB sideload from phone in twrp...it just sits forever at starting ADB sideload feature and doesn't actually start....any suggestions? thanks for the quick response..I was a little panicky, but knowing that there is a possibility is very reassuring!

For you /path/to/file.zip, you need to put it in an easily accessible place like on the desktop.
then your path would be : C:\Users\*your user name*\Desktop
So your total set of commands with your phone in recovery and in adb sideload mode would be:
1. cd C:\Users\*your user name*\Desktop
2. adb sideload rom.zip
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app

My current problem is that the phone is stuck trying to start the ADB sideload feature. When I type ADB devices..just to make sure I wasn't actually connected, it lists no devices ... I think I can manage to transfer the file over if I could actually get the sideload feature to start.

Do you have the sdk downloaded to your pc?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app

yes, this seems to be a problem with twrp as sideload just wont start on the actual phone..just sits there saying starting....is there any other way to transfer a file?

Did you use my thread to unlock/flash twrp? If so run your commands from that folder and put the rom zip in that folder

Ok, wow..I actually have bigdaddy helping So I stepped back and repeated your steps, and it appears sideloading was working, but at the ned it said failed to write data 'protocol fault <no status> eek...what do i do now?

Try to reflash the recovery,
fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
And try to sideload again, sometimes twrp got buggy with me. Please correct me if I'm wrong bigdaddy,(never saying that again. Sounded dirty) lmao

I do have a question tho, since the dna and ONE are closely related, if I had an unlocked, soff, eng hboot on the one, could a vzw radio be flashed and it work correctly or is that the hardware radio that determines if it would work?

FYI you can use adb push to move files no need to use side load (Thanks for the info -viperboy-)

Never used adb push before, sideload is easy for me to understand as well

[Q] Bricked Sprint HTCOne M7

Hi Developers,
I need your help i have been a fan of this site for some time now and have found very useful information here. now i need your help once again.
I tried to unlock the Bootloader and flashed TWRP and CWM but when i try to bring the device back up SU is not granted Root access. i tried over and ocer again.
When i try to reboot the phone Fastboot/Flash recovery/TWRP or CWM the device hands adn never comes back up.
I even tried to do a Facotry reset and start over. This also did not work.
Can you guys please guide me on truly doing a factory reset so that i can try this again?
Thank you very much for your help.
Rgrds,
Robert1c

If you want to reset to out of the box stock, run the ruu.

Make sure you are in the boot loader when running ruu and you have all the proper HTC drivers. If that's not it you can try searching Google for the error.

Dude. Just boot into recovery then on phone press mount usb. On your computer in your drives you should see your phones memory. Download a rom from the sprint htc one. Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834713 Once downloaded drag zip to storage. Once done press unmount usb. Then on recovery press install from storage. Click on your rom zip. Let it install. Reboot your htc one. Your good. You should have no more issues.

he also has to relock his bootloader to run the RUU

Fyi, because I see it misused a lot, "Bricking" man's it won't even power on, be recognized by any device, etc. If it just won't go into its ROM then that isn't a brick.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Mine fits the description of bricked better... All stock, no root, just using it as a GPS, left it plugged into the car charger when I went into the store but turned the screen off (that thing gets HOT). When I came back, no led, no power, nothing. Have tried connecting to the wall charger that came with it, to USB 2 and 3 on computers, left it charging all night. Not so much as a flicker... The computers didn't recognize anything connecting to them either.
Long hold of power (with and without either/both volume buttons) has done nothing.
What is left to try? I would rather not lose all the pictures from my vacation, but need my phone back for work.

I have the HTC One from Sprint. does anyone know where else i can find the RUU?

You need to flash it using fastboot command, but you need to rename the file to something shorter. You can't open the file as it has been encrypted by HTC.

[Q] Phone stuck in boot loop

Hey all! I have (had) a rooted HTC one.
In an attempt to install an Android 4.3 ROM, I've got my phone in 1 of 2 stages.
I have TWRP
When I tried to download the 4.3 ROM and reboot, it takes me back to the bootloader screen. If i try reboot, it continuity takes me back to this screen.
If i go to recovery, and attempt to wipe & backup, it says successful, however, upon a reboot, it goes through the motions, but android nor apps never loads and in about 20 seconds, the phone restarts and continues this process over and over again..
Can anyone help me just get my phone back please?
I feel like somethings just missing or do i need to factory reset?

I did lose everything on my phone. I didn't had much on it though since I've only had the phone for two weeks.
The course of action is this:
First connect phone to your computer and get ADB going (hopefully you had USB debugging on)
Then follow this guide to get S-OFF and relock bootloader, make sure you booted into recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44243635

that's the part i don't get is where do i find/access the adb?

First off I'm assuming you have the android SDK installed on your PC since you have rooted phones before.
You probably need a driver for your PC to recognize the phone. The one I used is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
But you can also download and install the HTC Sync
Once your PC recognizes your phone and you are booted into recovery you can push ADB and fastboot commands to your phone.

[TUTORIAL] ROOT LG G Flex - EASY Alternative Method!

Hello guys, I decided to post the an easy method to root your g flex! You don't even need to use any command prompt for this. The only problem is that this is chinese language, so you have to click the exact buttons. At the end of this tutorial, you will have a rooted phone. Until now, no bricked phones have come out of this process! It only takes 5 minutes!
1. Download this file: https://tr.im/64637 <--- HELP ME! OR http://goo.gl/U6Jwaf
2. Install the software, using the installation buttons as you would on any other windows installation.
3. When you have installed it, you will see a green button, press it. Then connect your phone on USB debugging mode.
4. When the phone is connected the software will recognise the phone and the green button will show "ROOT", click on it.
5. The phone is going to be rooted in some seconds and the process is finished when it will show a tick on the software.
6. The phone will reboot.
7. When it is rebooted, go to google play and download super su.
8. Open super su and it will ask you to update the binaries, and you must click on update, and then normal.
9. A window in chinese will pop up on the phone, this is the screen that allows you to give root permissions to any app. You must click the button on the right.
10. You are done! Root process is complete!
11. This is the most important step. Leave a thanks! If you liked the tutorial, please show it to me!

Yeah i tried like 10 times. It kept failing at the phone restore portion. I really wanted it to work because i used the same method on my lg l9 and it was flawless.

is there an easy way to "unroot", aside from dealing with restoring factory firmware?
thanks

Sure is, in the supersu app go to settings and click full unroot

so, in theory, if the kit kat update drops soon, we can just unroot that way, install it, and then just "reroot" the same way, or, will there likely be a new procedure for re-rooting with kit kat?
I know we wont know for sure until it actually happens, and since LG has a weird way of locking stuff down, its not likely to be that simple!
thanks

Do not download. This
this is full of spyware and trojans do not download Warning

Sure IOroot is easy to use.
But towelroot is even easier to use and almost certain to work.
The biggest advantage of towelroot is:
It's an app, which means you can keep it on the phone and after an unroot for an update you can easily reroot simply by using the app.

How about we avoid necroing threads from the dead? Just use stump root.
