[Q] HTC One Bricked ?

Hi everybody,
My HTC One is no more use full, i made a mistake i format every thing because i would like to update my rom and now i can only boot in recovery or bootloader so no adb command works.
I know you can install a rom thru fastboot command but it's only with file *.img (eg: system.img)
Does anyone know where i cant find this kind of file or can i make one with systel folder in any rom in zip files (eg:Android_Revolution_HD-One_10.3.zip)
Thank's for your help. :good:
Please sorry for my poor english (I'm french)
Regards

It's not bricked.
Get this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
install htc drivers
upload rom.zip VIA adb sideload. Make sure file path is simple. e.g C:\rom.zip. This will start the installation after uploaded.

Hi,
Thank's for your answer.
When i do that, the process start and stop at 1% with the following message :
* failes to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
The command line i used is : adb sideload rom.zip
The One is unloacked and was in recovery with TWRP in which i selected adb sideload.

Go into recovery and use the command:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/0
or
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip data/media
and flash the rom

It's not formatting, formatting just deletes files system table, partitions are still there, they only need to be mounted.
So before pushing or sideloading the easiest way is in recovery go to Mounts and Storage options and mount data partition (this will also automatically mount sdcard partition (since it is contained on data partition).

recovery/fastboot only (need rom on phone)HELP PLS

I flashed a new recovery twrp 2.6.3.3 to flash android revolution rom... I am new to this recovery so I made an error of deleting formatting the internal storage and in turn the android rev zip I wanted to flash.. so now im stuck in recovery with no rom to flash..and no backup to flash or restore.
I can access fastboot and I tried doing fastboot flash zip rom.zip said remote not allowed:failed...
this twrp wont mount the phone on my pc so I can drop the zip on the phone and flash it.
removable storage shows on my pc but it says please insert removable storage when I click it
I also went to mount on twrp and put the x throu system cache and data.. and tried without the x.. usb-otg is non selectable..but I don't even know what that is.. either way I still cant get access on my computer to drop the zip..
so is there any quick way I can get a darn zip transferred to my phone so I can flash it throu twrp.?
any help would be great

I think you just need an OTG cable... download and copy ROM of your choice, copy it to a USB drive, then mount the USB drive to your phone using OTG cable (available in most electronics stores for something like $2)
Once the USB is mounted, go into recovery, click install, and at the top there should be a menu that lets you choose between internal sdcard and OTG. Click OTG, and you'll be able to choose the ROM to install on the USB drive.
There's a way to "push" the files to your phone when it's hooked up through USB cable to the PC, but that's a bit more complicated. You can google or search on the forums (how to push files to HTC ONE)

Ya I googled..pushed zip over fastboot as I heard adb won't work..or is that wrong? just dont know if i did it right.. fastboot flash zip yourrom.zip..I'll give that other option a try but I guess I need a USB drive..and a cord.

No, that's not right for flashing a custom ROM. That would be for flashing a ROM from HTC. They're both distributed as .zip, but are different formats. @SaHiLzZ got the right answer, but I'll explain it a little further:
- Install/configure ADB (you probably already did this if you can run fastboot).
- Boot the phone to recovery
- I would run two commands just for a little added safety:
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/media
adb shell mkdir /data/media/0
Then the key command:
Code:
adb push name-of-ROM.zip /data/media/0/
Make sure the ROM is in the present shell directory on your computer, or type the full path to the ROM. The transfer takes a few minutes. The procedure is identical on Linux/OSX/Windows.
Now the ROM is on your phone, and you can install in TWRP.

Easiest way is 2 buy a USB OTG cable and put the ROM in the USB storage

[Q] Flashable ZIP for resizing causes fail

Hi,
I just wanted to install CM11 on my HP Touchpad 16GB. I chose this Tutorial.
What I did:
1.) Uninstall my old CM10.1 with ACMEUninstaller2
2.) Wiping USB Drive with WebOS
3.) Flashing moboot_038-tenderloin.zip and update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip with ACMEInstaller5
4.) Flashing data_plus_12288mb-signed.zip with CWM.
--> Here is the issue, it fails:
Code:
=== Rellocating 12288MB from media to cm-data ===
Preparing tools....
Checking media...
media:10600=>-1688 cm-data:1536=>13824
media_fs tot=1M-blocks sz=Used free=Available
checking cm-data...
Resizing media from 10600MB to -1688MB...
media_fs tot=1M-blocks sz=Used free=Available
Resizing cm-data from 1536MB to 13824MB...
lvextent cm-data failed rc=5
>> FAILED <<
I repeated this two times, but it will always fail with the mentioned text. I also chose update-cm-tenderloin-data_resize_12288-0.1.zip but no difference.
Maybe someone can help me, I don't know what to do now.

I think you will have more luck if you flash a non-data/media recovery, such as update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215.zip, then flash the resize zip, then flash the data/media recovery again to install kitkat.
You might have to transfer the files onto your 'sdcard' from webos as I'm not sure your current recovery will allow access to the sdcard from the pc.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for helping me. I got an advice to flash the 16gbTP_Gradular_data_resize_8192-0.1.zip instead, and this worked very well. I'm now on CM11

when I had that problem, I ended up wiping everything and then rebooted to recovery and it finally worked.

Try what @JudgeFutta said. The error's most likely due to corrupt partitions.

Try to get in Recovery and from mount option mount system and then try it will work or try this
Make Sure HTC Drivers are installed and ADB is already working
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. in TWRP, Hit andvanced and find Sideload
3. Swipe to start Sideload
4. Open a CMD Prompt window and Change Directories to where your adb.exe is
5. type adb devices and it should show your device conntected and say sideload
6. Your ZIP file should already be in your adb folder
7. You are now ready to push the zip.....
8. type adb sideload nameofzip.zip
9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM
10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery
11. if adb reboot recovery does not work, hold power and volume down until it reboots to fastboot then go to recovery
ADB Push from Recovery - If Sideload Fails For You
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/
Be sure u r in Recovery when using ADB Push command.

Thanks guys. What i found out is that i had a corrupt partition so I formated the sdcard since there was nothing on it and it worked. I pushed the rom through adb but i didnt do the sideload method. I have liquid smooth on it now but I want a sense rom. any suggestions for a good one?

@p1mpin Can vouch for that ROM, it's amazing. Might also want to flash Kangaroo Kernel while you're at it. It'll give you great battery life.

Error fastboot when i flash the recovery

Hello
I try to install a custom recovery on my tf701 (android 4.3, USB debug ON)
here are the previous steps i did :
1/ i have unlock the bootloader using ASUS tools : OK
2/ i have root the TF701 : OK
for this, I installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot
I copy the files found here
and I lauch the command : adb reboot bootloader
then : fastboot boot zImage_dtb ramfs.img.gz
the root is ok
-------------------------------------------------------------------
3/ i try to install recovery
i download the file here : droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/recovery/
i put the file in the folder of Minimal ADB and Fastboot
and i launch the commande : adb reboot bootloader
then, when the fasboot usb mode is ready on the device : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
first time :
target reported max download size of 64382
sending 'recovery' (6652 KB)...
FAILED (data write failure (Unknown error)
finished. total time: 5.050s
second time :
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'recovery' (6652 KB)...
FAILED (remote: (Timeout))
finished. total time: 2.010s
Can you help me please ? I add that, when the device is ON in a normal mode (not fastboot) and connected to the PC with USB, the adb driver interface are ok :
"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
E1OKCY174091 device
"
i have tried to plug on other usb port ... it's the same ...
i have tried to reboot my computer : ... it's the same ...
i have tried to download another version of adp/fasboot (platform-tools_r28.0.2-windows.zip) : it's the same
without this installation, I can't install a custom rom ..
Many thanks in advance !

There are only two working recoveries for the TF701, one CWM without touch interface which I don't quite trust and a pretty good TWRP with touch here https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....-kang-twrp-tf700t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3121989/amp/
The one you have there is probably the stock recovery...
The Kang TWRP is a little buggy though. You may come to a point where TWRP tells you it cannot mount /system or any other partition for that matter. All you have to do is convert the file system on /system to ext2, then convert it right back to ext4 and proceed with rom installation.
Good luck!

Hello berndblb
Many thanks for your help
The recovery I try to install is Recovery v6.0.4.6 CWM 11.
Which one is the easier to install for a beginner ?
Because what you said previously seems difficult for me ("convert the file system on /system to ext2, then convert it right back to ext4 and proceed with rom installation.")
Can you explain me how to do ?
Recovery v6.0.4.6 CWM 11 or Kang TWRP : can i install then the Rom "
ROM][N 7.1.2] [ KatKiss - Nougatella #037 ] for asus tf701
?
Many thanks in advance

They are equally easy to install since you just flash both of them in fastboot
But if you are asking which is easier to use, then it is the Kang TWRP. CWM does not have the drivers for the touch interface and you have to navigate everything with the vol buttons. More importantly I do not trust the "format data" function in CWM and that is crucial to install a custom rom. The issue with the corrupt file system in the Kang TWRP is a minor nuisance and you fix it right in TWRP. If you get the "cannot mount....." error, you just go to Wipe > Advanced > Change or repair file system, check the System partition and convert it to ext3 (or ext2 - does not matter). Swipe the button and when it is done (less than a minute) you repeat the step and change it back to ext4. After that everything should be good. If you want to read more about this issue search the Katkiss thread for "cannot mount"
Actually, there is another custom recovery out there which I have not tried and cannot vouch for. But maybe you go for that one, it does not seem to have the same issue and is based on a later version of TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tr...lopment/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-x-tf701t-t3720912
Read the thread, it seems to work fine. The Kang TWRP is 2.8, that one is based on 3.2.1 - both are fine to flash a Katkiss rom.
You do know that you have to fully format /data before you can flash a custom rom, right? You do that in your custom recovery (in TWRP: Wipe>Format Data, swipe the button). TWRP does a secure erase which wipes and trims every block. That's why this formatting takes around 60 minutes. Do not interrupt it!! CWM does not have this functionality, another reason I prefer TWRP..

hello berndblb and all helpers !
i have installed the Kang TWRP: it's ok
then I copy the custom rom KatKit for TF701 on /sdcard
i do a full wipe : error : "cannot mount..." : so I convert to ext2 and then I convert to ext4 the partition System and data
then i do a full wipe
my problem ... i'm sure you find it : i have erased all my data on /sdcard. No kitkat.zip yet !! :crying::crying::crying:

Put the Rom on a microSD, mate. You can navigate in TWRP to the card and flash from there

Hello !!
I have nevers seen the microsd port ! I discover it 2 days ago !
Just before your answer, a 'adb push' was successfull ! I don't know why, and the next 'adb push' for gapps ans supersu were unsuccessful...it's strange !
But all IS ok now !
I have just a last 2 questions :
1/ next Time, where Can i copy the rom (.Zip) , somewhere it will not be deleted ?
2/my tablet is not rooted now ... Is the way to root depends on the Rom ?
If I follow the steps i did when my tf701 has the rom stock, IS still good ? (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516215)
Thanks for your help !

1) the safest place is a microSD. You can flash the Rom straight from there. But as long as you do not format your data partition - and you only need to to that if you install a different rom - you can keep it on internal storage. In most cases you only need to wipe /data, not format, and that leaves /data /media where your files live, untouched.
2) First the question is: Do you need root? You should only root your rom for a good reason. If you are not sure if you need root - you don't.
Cyber threats are multiplying. You're safer if the tablet is not rooted.
That said: you can root by just flashing the zip in recovery.
BTW, if you did not flash gapps yet, you always should flash it together with the rom, not separate. To install gapps now flash the rom, then gapps, then root (if needed), reboot
