[Q] Whoops

I think I soft bricked my phone.
I tried to fastboot a new rom over to my sdcard to no avail.
I have the PhilZ Touch 5 CWM Base Version : v6.0.3.7. Build 5.11.2 - HTC_One_cm_m7ul installed.
How do I copy a file via usb cable to my sd card and flash a rom again. I'm use to a phone that had a removable micro sd so this is new to me.
Thanks
Richard

using ADB, not fastboot
adb push C:\Users\User\Downloads\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
(replace the C:\Users\User\Downloads with where the zip is and rom.zip to the actual zip name)
you should be able access adb through recovery, maybe in bootloader/fastboot mode too but I'm not too sure

Can you boot into recovery? If so you should be able to push a rom zip file over adb with this command: adb push name_of_rom_file.zip /sdcard/
This is of course assuming you have adb set up and that your phone shows up when you enter the 'adb devices' command.
EDIT: looks like thom109 beat me to it.

I tried this guys but my computer just says 'error' and will not push the file over. No sure where to go from here. I did order an OTG cable and will see if that will work.

There isn't any more information in the error? It literally just says "error"? Do you have ADB set up properly? Have you been able to use it before?
EDIT: Didn't see your second post. I've never seen that error before.
EDIT 2: With your phone in recovery mode and plugged into your computer what is the output of the command 'adb devices' ?

make sure you also state the name of the zip file the second time.
so adb push C:\blabla\bla\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
not just adb push C:\blabla\bla\rom.zip /sdcard
and what state is your device in when trying to push? It works in fastboot mode and in recovery mode

So i messed up

Hi , I installed ColosOS beta without installing oppo.boot.img.
And whole system froze on booting up.
Now I have TWRP recovery installed , via fastboot.
But I have no ROM on my cellphone it seems.
I cant seem to use adb sideload command as the cmd window only shows up possible commands. it is adb version 1.0.29
My problem now is to get ROM.zip into my phone. Damn HTC ONE dont have external sd card.....
Anyone can help ?

you're typing the command wrong, or the filename (of the ROM) is wrong.
you can also use an OTG cable, or "adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/"

Phone now up again with tripdroids newest.
It was the location of the push (data/media) that I screwed up before posting here. I pushed to sdcard but never find zip file in CWM. SO changed recovery to TWRP.

BTW, /sdcard usually point to /data/media/0, so you should have browsed to the 0 folder in CWM, and then you would have seen the rom.zip

[Q] Wiped Stock Os

So did a very stupid thing by wiping OS of stock phone before copying rom.zip to phone. My fastboot no longer has usb connection. I do have twrp recovery on phone but I am clueless how to transfer the rom's over to install. Anyone have suggestions please?

NO OS install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791126

It's called adb sideload... You can find it in twrp under Extras. Good Luck!

why fastboot no USB connection faulty cable ? Port problem ? If it's port then repair port first
If no getvar all then tell cid mid OS version + info phone displaying in fastboot mode
TWRP 2.6.3.3/4 is best 2.7 have issues still
USB otg cable is a simple cable connect USB drive to your phone
You can't use ruu
Use guru reset Rom or nandroid backup

Stock ATT Sense i Imagine

Ok fastboot usb is up . Also managed to change to Twrp 2.6.3. So now need to get otg cable. I was hoping to be able to just transfer file from Pc to phone, but cant see phone in available drives.

cdkraut said:
After wiping os the usb portion disappeared, could this be because usb debugging isn't there anymore since there is no os?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
usb debugging is only to have ADB access with the phone booted in the OS.
It looks like you have usb problem, maybe a bad usb cable, phone port or pc usb port. when your phone is in bootloader with usb cable plugged to your pc, you should see "FASTBOOT USB" in the bootloader.

you can adb push or adb sideload a rom when your phone is booted to recovery (twrp) not directly from bootloader. You said you have flashed twrp 2.6.3 ? you mean 2.6.3.0 or 2.6.3.3 ? Always use 2.6.3.3
Also make sure your ADB is up to date (should be 1.0.31) you can check your ADB version with this command:
Code:
adb version
Now try to follow this detailed guide:
HTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer, either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-XXXXXXXX\sdk\platform-tools\
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
You need TWRP recovery (2.6.3.3 or higher) on your device.
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:

URGENT: HTC One m7 Developer Edition - No OS, only Bootloader and TWRP [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
Accidentally wiped the internal storage and system files, was distracted and on phone with someone else and messed it up. Didn't do a backup because I'm selling the phone and backed up all my stuff to PC before going with the wipe.
Current status:
-Tampered
-Unlocked
-S-On
-Hboot 1.44
-Bootloader with fastboot working
-Recovery TWRP 2.8.0.0. working
-Fastboot recognizes device
-Adb doesn't recognize device
-Have managed to push a stock TWRP nandroid backup for Developer Ediion by mounting. It sits along with the TWRP folder in /sdcard
-Tried RESTORE button through TWRP recovery, can't see the ROM.zip file
-Tried INSTALL button through TWRP Recovery, gets stuck at "updating partition details"
Please help me, thanks in advance.

You will need to unzip the nandroid backup and place it in the <serial #> directory for TWRP to see it. The nandroid backup folder needs to be in //sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/<Serial #>/<Nandroid_folder_name>. You might also change to TWRP 2.6.3.3 it works best with stock roms.

Thanks, i can try this today. If its possible, can you put up a screenshot showing the exact filepath.. Or confirm if what I understood below is accurate.
/sdcard/twrp/backup/serial #/nandroid/<contents of zip file>

See attached pictures, this is the view from the zip. You see there is only one folder in the zip. This folder is extracted out of the zip and it becomes the folder that is placed in the serial # folder. The contents of the folder are shown in the second picture. The serial # is the serial # of your phone. If you don't know it then you can find it in fastboot getvar all.

One more thing. The mount function is very inconsistent. Out of 60-70 attempts.. It mounted only once properly and I could push the stock ROM to the phone. Is there a way to unpack the zip in twrp?

No, I don't think you can unpack the zip in TWRP. Just what is the file you are trying to move? Could you give the name and location where you got the file?

I got it from htc1guru database. Its the M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID BS US001 1.29.1540.3 .. Its for the developer edition which is the same as my phone..
Currently the phone only has twrp folder on sdcard.. And inside twrp, there's .twrps
. that's it.. I will have to create a new folder called backup, a new folder with their serial number as its name etc.

That file may not work with your phone it is pretty outdated. Can you post a fastboot getvar all (except for imei and serialno)? So, we can see if there is a better version or way to do the same thing.

Ok I will post the details when I get back home tonight.. Any other ideas? Anyway to get the adb working? I could then use revone for s-off and then RUU from desktop

ADB works in OS if USB Debugging is enabled and in custom recovery. In other words, the phone is in Recovery and attached to your computer you can run the command adb devices and you should see your serial number and next to it "recovery". If you are in FASTBOOT USB, only fastboot will work not ADB. Depending on your hboot you can use revone (hboot 1.4X), rumrunner (hboot 1.54) or firewater (hboot 1.5X) to achieve S-OFF.

Adb doesn't work. I tried adb devices and it would not return any values. Fastboot devices always gave the serial number but not adb. I have hboot1.44 and because of adb device not found I can't push revone too

After you re-install adb & fastboot
Disconnect your phone from the computer
Then reboot the computer and open the command window
Type: adb kill-server
Then when it is finished
Type: adb start-server
Now connect your phone to the PC

This is an old method that I used to get S-OFF with revone:
Revone S-OFF on the phone method​Revone Download:
http://revolutionary.io/revone
Big thanks to the Revolutionary dev team. The original thread can be found here.
Written instructions:
 Download the Revone file above and transfer it to your phone (or download on your phone)
 Use a root file explorer and paste the file inside the /data/local/tmp folder
 Open a terminal emulator and type the following:
Code:
[B][I]su[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]chmod 755 revone[/I][/B] (enter) (IF revone doesn’t work, type revone.bin)
[B][I]./revone -P[/I][/B] (enter)
 Reboot
 Open terminal again and type:
Code:
[B][I]su[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]./revone -s 0 -u[/I][/B] (That would be a ZERO) (enter)
 Reboot
 That’s it! To get rid of the tampered, or relock, follow instructions below
To remove “tampered”
open terminal
Code:
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B]
[B][I]su[/I][/B]
[B][I]./revone.bin -t[/I][/B]
These are other commands that you can fill in above to
-u – Unlock the device
-l – Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
-r – Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
-t – Reset the device’s tamper flag.

We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:

That file is a RUU rom zip for your phone. I believe you will have to flash it in bootloader like firmware. Your bootloader will need to be relocked.
Rename file to rom.zip and put in your fastboot/adb folder.
Put the phone in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
After that, type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

The phone came with an unlocked bootloader. Then why do I need to relock it. You have given me 2 sets of instructions above.. One is using adb and other is flashing the ruu in bootloader.

Adb Sideload

Hello all,
I made a big mistake and wiped my Sd card on my rooted, Unlocked M7. I was able to get recovery(TWRP) back on but for the life of me cannot sideload a Rom on it? At the moment it has no OS. So that means I cannot open usb debugging so I could manually place the ViperOne rom back on the SD. I've never sideloaded anything but after watching many youtube videos and failing ( cannot read ROM.zip) its driving me nuts. Is there maybe an easier way? Maybe something else I can try?
I have tried to load for both desktop and platform tools( both I can see my device).

This error is usually caused by the file being in the wrong location. Make sure "ROM.zip" is in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer.

TWRP 2.6.4.0 also include mtp drivers so you can see your device storage on your ocmputer when booted in recovery mode.

Like alray said flash TWRP 2.8.4.0 and the phone will be seen in windows and you can just copy the file to the phone and flash it

I already had a "Install recovery v1.2" in my downloads so I tried this because I was unsuccessful with all the other attempts and low and behold it worked. although its an older version of TWRP (2.6.3). would it make a difference not having the latest? now that recovery is there I was hoping to push a ROM then update the recovery through root manager.
I just read alray's last line about the mtp drivers. OK, I will first get my folders working better, upgrade to a newer version TWRP and then push a rom. Is there a difference in "Fastboot adb sideload flash ViperOne.zip" and "
" adb sideload push ViperOne.zip"? Two video's used 2 different commands.

you don't need adb at all if you load TWRP 2.8.4.0 you just copy the file in windows like to a flash drive

If you are going to update twrp to 2.8.4.0, you will not need to push or sideload the rom, just copy it to your phone storage using the windows explorer. Navigate to "my computer --> One --> Internal storage" and copy your rom there.

These 2 commands means nothing. :laugh: SO no, there is no difference between these 2 commands, both will fail lol
if you want to use adb push:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
if you want to sideload:
Code:
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
But like i said, you don't need to use these commands to get your rom on your phone if you are gonna update twrp to 2.8.4.0.
download twrp 2.8.4.0, save it to the same folder where you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer. Open a command prompt from that folder, boot your phone in bootloader/fastboot usb mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery mode
you'll now see your phone storage on your computer, copy (drag and drop) your rom.zip to your phone storage.
