[Q] No OS, not rooted - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, my dad bought an HTC One from a seller on EBay. The phone was originally on Sprint, but it was unlocked; when he got the phone, it didn't work initially, and after he and my mom trouble shooted for a bit, they got it working. Those are the only details I know; I don't know what the problem was.
After they got it working, my dad did something to the phone, and it froze up completely. He let the battery drain, and then I went to work. When I got back, he had wiped the OS, and the only thing it can do is boot into TWRP v2.5.0.0. I don't know what else he did, or what else he tried.
Here's my problem; I can't flash a ROM on it, because, somehow, it's unrooted. Every time I power it down, TWRP says "Your device is unrooted." I researched a bit on how to root it from that point; but, to do that, you need an OS, which somehow, I do not have. It seems like, to get the phone rooted, I need an OS, and to get an OS, I need it rooted.
So, I tried do use the ADB sideload that a lot of people recommended. I downloaded the SDK packages, I ran Command Prompt, I've tried it at least 30 times by now, but it will not pick up the phone. When I do the "adb devices" command, it has nothing listed. I tried pushing the ROM anyway, just to see, and it fails because, again, "no devices found." I've tried wiping the cache and dalvik, rebooting into recovery, and trying the rooting and the ADB stuff over again, numerous times, and neither one works.
The only thing I haven't tried is doing a RUU; but, before I do that, I decided to ask here, and get some help. The RUU seems extremely complicated, and I don't even know if it will work.
I'll be the first to admit, I really don't know much about Android, or any of this. I've flashed ROMs, and that's about it. So, can anyone tell me what I should try, and if the RUU would work? If it would, can you link me to a guide?
Thank you!

If you hold down the power button while pressing the vol- button, does it load the Bootloader, a white screen with options.

Are you using Windows 8.1? Because if you are fastboot only works on HTC devices with 1.54 and up on 8.1. I was messing with my DNA this weekend and realized that adb picks it up if I'm in twrp but if I'm in the boot loader I get no device found. I also have an HTC one which isn't rooted and adb can pick it up in Windows 8.1 in normal debug mode and while I'm also in the boot loader. I'm using usb 2.0 so make sure that is what you plug it in to. Otherwise, there are driver issues with adb and fastboot in 8.1 and htc has not updated their drivers for it.
Other option is to download a live CD of Linux and try sideloading a Rom through there.

If you're problem is not having root , then try flashing a supersu.zip through recovery. That should enable root access you're able to enter recovery.

I thought twrp provided root, anyways theres any option in advanced I think you can sideload a rom via adb push. It's something like adb sideload "name of rom sideloading.zip" and I don't think you need to be rooted to sideload.

Root doesn't come with recovery and can be lost sometimes upon flashing a new rom. That's why the supersu.zip exists.

If the supersu.zip doesn't work, then you'll DEFINITELY have to find a way to get ADB working. Because that'll be your only hope

Yes upon initial install. But I know some ROMs which say you lose that root access after flashing it and tell you to flash the supersu.zip in order restore it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having a root checker if their root files could be deleted? I'm pretty sure it's built into the recovery. I could be dead wrong, never ran into a custom rom that's never been with out root.

i dont get why you need Root to install a ROM? flash a ROM in TWRP by going to Advanced -> ADB Sideload. have a ROM on your PC where the adb and fastboot files are and type in "adb sideload name_of_rom.zip"
select reboot system when it is flashed, when it asks for root select "Do Not Install", and it should reboot into your flashed rom

My initial understanding was that OP could not get adb working to sideload a Rom. Usually twrp will ask upon reboot to install su if it detects root has been lost.

If you can't get adb to work, then you should buy a USB-OTG adapter.
With the USB otg you would be able to connect a USB-Stick to the one and mount it in the recovery.

I forgot to mention, after I could not get the sideload to work, I got an OTG cable, which does work.

I downloaded a file called "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip" from a website called "chainfire"; I'd post a link, but I can't do that until I hit 10 posts.
Then I installed it, and it was successful. Then I tried installing a ROM; and it failed again. Then I wiped everything, rebooted, re-installed the SuperSU, rebooted, and tried installing the ROM; it failed again. Also, every time I restart, TWRP still says it is not rooted, and gives the option to root it. I always opt to root it, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm also noticing, when I try and flash the ROM, it does this:
"Updating partition details...
Installing '/usb-otg/ROM.zip'
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Verifying zip signature...
E: Zip signature verification failed: 1
Error flashing zip '/usb-otg/ROM.zip'
Updating partition details..."
Could it have something to do with this MD5 check? Or maybe this Zip signature verification?

there's an option in TWRP where you can toggle signature validation off/on. try and turn it off then run the zip.

Root is needed AFTER you install your ROM. I think you have a corrupted zip file. Sideload a ROM but after you download it check the md5 to see if its downloaded correctly. You needed to read more bro. Sounds to me you are very new to this.

You actually don't need root to flash a Rom. Sounds like a bad download like the other dude said.

You should be able to install any rom you want as long as you're able to flash zips from the recovery, even if there's no OS installed, that just means the system and boot partitions are empty and they can be easily filled with a rom zip. And root is something that comes with the rom or something you can install after you flash a rom. You don't need root to flash if you can already boot into TWRP.

CWM is available to flash through Rom Manager

Rom Manager was just updated to version 5.0.2.4 and allows you to flash to CWM 6.0.1.6 recovery. Booting to recovery just gives me the Android with a red flag though. Just a FYI till it gets sorted.
Pressing and holding the pwr button will boot you back to the OS. Not a huge deal as we don't have anything to flash at the moment.
If you need to get back to the stock recovery in the meantime which can be found in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993331
Edit:
Don't Flash this yet, you'll have to re-install the stock recovery or wait for a fix and could possibly brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing.
Is there like an easy way to root other than manually adb pushing? Flashable zip maybe?
I get the same thing as you, says flash successful then the red flag.

You can use the temporary "boot" method as opposed to "flash" when using the current CWM recovery which is posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993331
Don't flash the recovery yet though, it's obviously not sorted. I used the adb method to root which worked fine. I got excited when I saw the new Rom Manager which allowed me to flash recovery because Koush's G+ messages earlier today.

Possible Bricked Phone

I am really hoping someone can be of some assistance to me, today i managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root the phone, i then stupidly downloaded and installed a boot animation from ROM Toolbox lite and went to TWRP and tried to flash it, it came up failed, tried to reboot but it only boots into recovery, tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory reset,system and format data and still it only boots into recoverywebt to advanced tried to install it said HTC Dumlock is installed but still boots into recovery,tried reflash to recovery abd restore original boot but still it wont boot up as normal, how can i get the phone to just boot up normally does anyone know?
I am such a twat im usually fairly careful when it comes to this type of thing, it'll be a nightmare if i have to pay to leave it into to get done.
Calm flash a custom rom after a full reset and it should work
If you're having issues putting a rom on your device it's possible through adb sideload with the AIO Toolkit

If you do a factory reset, you remove the Rom element so ideally as I previously mentioned flash a new Rom problem solved

Thanks mate can you be a little bit more specific as to how i can put a ROM on the phone as ive never heard of that AIO toolkit?
If you enter CWM recovery, theres an option called install zip from sideload. Press that and then plug it into your PC, and in CMD type
Code:
adb sideload <location of rom.zip on PC>
I use TWRP i assume that has the same adb sideload?
I am downloading Android Revolution now, so if i create a folder on C drive called c:\android then the ROM is the the img i flash when i open a command?

I am gonna have to leave it for now as its doing my head in, i wouldn be grateful if someone could post some specific instructions later and ill attempt it tomorrow, everything appears to be ok when i type cmd then
cd c:\android
adb sideload (what is thew exact name of the file i need to enter)
In the folder 'Android' which you cd'd to, is there adb.exe? And you dont use .img you link to the actual rom zip.

Buddy before anything else could you please put/attach/upload the flashable zip of the bootanimation you got from ROM toolbox?
It is better that we know first what partition it has overwritten so we could distinguish what we need to fix.
I understand that usually the system partition is the culprit but reading from the thread that is all pure guesses. It could be you overwritten a different partition that resulted to this.

No OS, stuck on HTC load screen

Hey everyone. I know I totally screwed up. So I got my Phone today. HTC One from Sprint. I went to unlock bootloader. Success, but when I went to install a custom rom I went to do a wipe, I guess I wiped the wrong thing. So now I don't have a OS, and stuck in TWRP because it won't load. Is there a way to push the rom to the phone and install from there? Or do I need a RUU? Or best bet is try to get a new phone?

Easiest way is to download HTC One (Sprint) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 then see where is says Extras there is an option thats says ADB Sideload a ROM just load the ROM is really simple just read the instructions carefully.
Make sure you have proper Drivers Installed and you are on the screen of ADB Sideload a ROM on TWRP

You should try another USB Port/USB Cable make sure you have the HTC Drivers installed, I would try this:
Disconnect Phone try another USB Port/USB Cable
Reboot phone into Recovery
Open All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 Select Extras ---> ADB Sideload a ROM
On TWRP go to Advance ---> ADB Sideload (Select Wipe Dalvik Cache/Wipe Cache)
Select RUN on ADB Sideload select ROM and the ROM transfer should work (you should see a sideload.zip file thats the ROM)
If that doesn't work probably someone with more knowledge can help you.

[Q] HTC One Bricked, Need Help...

Hey Guys,
I have scoured forums for hours trying to copy solutions and i am at wits end.
I was running the latest version of arhd and chose to switch to Paranoid. In recovery, as you do, i accidentally formatted everything so now there is no directory, roms etc on the phone at all.
I am able to get into recovery but adb sideload wont work. I can sometimes get ADB to recognize the device but it wont allow me to push or sideload. I really don't know what else to do. Any information i can give you please let me know.
Regards
Check that you have the latest version of adb installed, then you should get sideload to work.

Just to confirm, CWM wont allow me to mount anything, i have nothing on the phone (no roms, recoveries etc), when i reboot the phone and allow it to sit on the htc screen with red warning text, i can sometimes get the device recognised by adb however, when trying to push or sideload anything onto it, it tells me i do not have permissions or that it is read only.

Basically you need the latest version of HTC driver for your pc, plus latest adb on pc and latest cwm or twrp recovery on your HTC One
It's been a while since I used CWM recovery as I now prefer twrp recovery.
However you seem to have a fairly old version of cwm recovery, I would suggest first flashing a more recent recovery, either cwm or twrp.
Then reboot to recovery, check that your HTC One is seen on pc by typing adb devices
It should list the serial number of your phone.
Then select sideload options in recovery, then follow instructions, which is usually
adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
Hope this helps

Basically you need the latest version of HTC driver for your pc, plus latest adb on pc and latest cwm or twrp recovery on your HTC One
It's been a while since I used CWM recovery as I now prefer twrp recovery.
However you seem to have a fairly old version of cwm recovery, I would suggest first flashing a more recent recovery, either cwm or twrp.
Then reboot to recovery, check that your HTC One is seen on pc by typing adb devices

I've watched that already it says to install zip file through cwm from xda but doesn't mention which file. If I add supersize surely that would root the device but I would like the most recent version it must be somewhere on here I would have thought?

Personally I prefer TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
Download this to your adb folder. Once you have unlocked your bootloader, fastboot will work.
Plug your mobile into your pc.
Type
adb devices.
You should see the adb server start up then a serial number of your device.
Then type
adb reboot bootloader (wait a bit for the fastbootusb on the phone to show)
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img
This will flash the recovery. Boot into the recovery. When you choose to reboot, select system and it will give you an option to install su.
Your rooted.
if you prefer cwm its here
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
select your preference (touch or non touch).

True personally I'd rather have twrp, but I thought to run rum runner cwm was a must can I s-off with that first then flash twrp as a different recovery after and gain root through that would it be a case of then just overwriting the current recovery being cwm thanks

You can always use TWRP first to get root, then load up CMW for rumrunner. I have used revone in the past (also got a One s-offed with JCard) so I havnt used rumrunner.
If you need CMW after TWRP then just repeat the instructions above but use the CMW file name instead. You wont need to re root.

superuser.zip and flash in recovery. Bingo. You will have to reboot, and check for an update etc. Rumrunner next?

Well the only other device I have rooted was my Samsung note 1 which was pretty simple. Well I didn't no bit when you first reboot from cwm recovery it says yes to gain root access which I did just need to add supersu which came with rumrunner. Which I sorted tonight just had problems with my laptop and adb not recognizing after testing adb devices.
