Bricked Phone - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I tried to flash a new rom and image onto my phone and well unfortunately now I can't enter recovery or do anything really. I still have access to the bootloader but nothing else. I have tried to factory reset my phone and that didn't work. The rom I was coming from was the latest viper one with Clockwork Recovery and I was going to the latest android revolution with twrp. I really have no idea what else I can do. Please help. Oh yeah I should mention my computer is not playing well with adb currently

Reflash recovery via fastboot --> fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Enter recovery.
Flash the ROM

It's not bricked you just have to reflash the recovery.
Go into the bootloader on your phone, then fastboot, and plug into your pc.
Download the last recovery TWRP. Open a command on the sdk fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
Where "recovery.img" stands for the name of the recovery downloaded.

Let me know if it works and how you done it that would be great thanks
Working with flyhalfs touch (CWM) version, everything is fine.
After flashing the recovery u should fastboot erase cache.
If u got no rom on SD u should connect an OTG before booting into recovery and flash zip from external sd.

erasing the cache solved the problem. thanks helmut!
Mine still not having it it's saying tampered and unlocked any ideas
Flash this
Then flash it from cmd with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img
Code:
fastboot erase cache
If there are still problems, rename CWM_Touch_6.0.2.8_M7.img to "recovery.img" and use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
LG, Helmut

When you flash the recovery.img, was it successful and did you wipe the cache afterward?
Are you able to enter the bootloader then select Recovery, does it try to enter recovery then reboots?

Try flashing a different recovery to the one you have installed.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I seem to be having the exact same problem. Really starting to annoy me, I need to root my phone already haha!
Did you end up getting it to work?
Cheers!
same problem here....tried alle the recommended recoveries, but none worked for me.
When i flashed recovery it says all succeded, then i try to get into recovery, but it still reboots, htc logo appears, than for about 4-5 seconds the screen stays black and then there comes the t-mobile carrier logo and boot sound :/

according to the TWRP thread, it doesn't seem to be supported yet
I've got the same problem with the non working recovery. I now tried the CWM Touch AND Classic Recovery v6.0.3.0.
I tried to flash them with the All in One Tool by Hasoon 2000 and also manually with CMD commands (fastboot flash recovery & afterwards fastboot erase cache). It always said flash successful, but it's not able to boot into recovery.
I've got a Swiss HTC One Branded by Swisscom (which seems to use a vodafone CID: VODAP110).
My Build Number is 1.28.161.7 CL162357 release-keys
may that cause the problem?
I somehow got it to work. I didn't make any changes (that I can remember) but I tried it the next day again, booting into recovery with the HTC One (M7) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0, and it just worked!
Hopefully you guys can get it to work somehow too!
HA! I finally got it.
Just don't try to flash recovery as recovery, flash it as a boot img. CWM touch and TWRP was NOT working for me, but normal CWM does.
But it seems to be some issues with ADB, so please wait until i got my Guide ready

just to be sure:
you used "fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.0-m7.img" and it worked?
I don't want to mess up my phone, because I can't backup my current boot.img...

Currently stuck on either "htc quietly brilliant" or hboot/fastboot

Hello, I have a HTC One phone, and had cyanogenmod 11. I started having problems like not syncing and stuff so i decided to full swipe my phone and flash the Android Revolution HD 51 rom. Tried several times to install the twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery, and for all my stupidity ended up flashing the rom using clockwork 6.x
Now, my phone isn't turning on, I cant get to the recovery and I really don't know what to do anymore
Thanks for your help in advance.

Download the twrp recovery and rename to recovery and place in mini-sdk Or platform tool folder
Then connect your phone in fastboot mode ( power + vol down --> fastboot )
open platform tool Or mini-sdk command line and Type :-
fastboot flash recovery recovery(name of the recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
This will flash your twrp recovery.
Now go to recovery from bootloader and flash the ARHD 51.

omfg... the explaned that whole sh*t quite difficult^^
You should be able to understand that here(But i assume that you already installed adb and fastboot):
- Enter the bootloader and do the following
Code:
fastboot erase cache
- Now enter the recovery.. if you don't have a custom recovery download this one:
TWRP Openrecovery for HTC One m7ul
- Flash the recovery with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\path_to_recovery\recoveryname.img"
- Now enter the recovery...
- Proceed a full wipe in the recovery(including /system but excluding sdcard(where your photos etc. are stored))
- Move your rom.zip to your phone by executing the following command:
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom.zip" /data/media/0/rom.zip
- Now flash the rom with the recovery
- Reboot

You need also to download MINI-sdk, (you can google it) and open a command window there to execute those commands.
It's nothing difficult but i understand that it can be tricky the first time.
When i open what ever .exe in the sdk-mini or platform tools it just seems to blink some cmd lines and close immediately..Tried typing this in the windows cmd and didnt work either..
EDIT: Ok, got it to work, erased the cache, but now when i try to flash the recovery it says "error:cannot load 'recovery': Unknown error
What am i missing?..Now I'm stuck without a phone><
I really don't feel like spending money repairing it for something as easy as this

Need help recovering AHD

I apparently flashed a bad .zip file that won't load, and now all I can do is sit at the Motorola logo. I've tried the hard reboot with power+vol up and down but, for whatever reason, that won't reboot to the bootloader like it used to. So, I can't get back into recovery at the moment. I can ocassionally get it to reboot to the fastboot menu, but I don't know what commands or anything to use to get me back to recovery. If I could just get back to the recovery I would be fine because I have a few older ROM zips I could flash.
Can anyone give me some advice on what to do here? My computer has ubuntu, so I'm not sure if Myth tools or anything would work?

You can do the following while on bootloader (Volume DOWN + Power button):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is your custom recovery image. Just make sure is in the same folder that your fastboot archive. After this, you should be able to access to recovery and flash another ROM.
OR... You can flash to stock with RSD Lite and then do everything again.
Use Myth Tools to flash stock ROM or recovery.

[Q] "Bricked" Optimus 4X

Hi.
I was trying to flash LiquidSmooth ROM, installed TWRP recovery, formatted /data and /cache to F2FS and installed the rom, an custom kernel by mourta and PA Gapps.
The phone stucked in LiquidSmooth bootlogo. I tried to boot in recovery unsuccessfully (my Vol - key is kinda broken), the command adb reboot recovery didn't work.
After many tries, I could flash the LG Stock rom, the Kdz program didn't finish the process and the phone rebooted, don't know why.
Tried many other times to flash.
To sum up, I could flash the original firmware, the phone is booting up normally and aparently is working properly, the problem is: I still can't go to recovery to restore my old rom. (The adb reboot recovery comand just reboot the phone). So, I can't root it or flash another custom recovery.
I wish you guys can help me. Sorry if I written something wrong or if the text is too long, I haven't finished my English course yet.
Which stock rom have you flashed? I've tried to use fastboot on a V10 rom couple of weeks ago and I coudn't do it. I think that it works just with V20 roms.

I'm using now V20A_00_4.1.2.EURO.
I could acess the recovery (original) but adb sideload doesn't work. It says: "Error: more than one device and emulator."
About fastboot, I've already tried to flash the recovery using this, but it just keep with one message, I guess is waiting phone, or something like that.

I didn't know that error more than one device and emulator. I can't help you on this error.
About Fastboot still waiting phone, that is phone driver's problem. Try to install P880 fastboot drivers and try again.
Try these drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38953792&postcount=17

I figued out about the error: "Error: more than one device and emulator."
It's an incompatibility with Bluestacks, after close it, it works, but I had to turn off the phone and couldn't flash.
And about fastboot, I could acess this too (Didn't knew that I needed to be on Bootloader mode). But I can't flash the recovery, it says that my bootloader is locked (using fastboot reboot bootloader).
It isn't, or at least wasn't before it all happen. Using ADB command to reboot in bootloader mode (adb reboot oem-unlock I guess), I can flash the .img of clockwork mod and TWRP without error messages, but I still can't boot into it by adb reboot recovery.
Thanks for trying. Today I could acess Android original recovery by hardware keys and install another recovery and ROM.

Fresh root, recovery not booting

Finally decided to root my own device to find out that the recovery is not working when I try going into it on the bootloader mode. It is a rooted device and I've tried flashing the twrp recovery through the command prompt and also through the flashify app. It only works when I try booting in from the flashify app but doesn't work through the bootloader, when trying it through the bootloader i select the recovery and the phone turns off. Anyone have a clue of how I could try to make it work, I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Looks like a system error which can be solved only if you flash the factory image again
which command did yu use "fastboot flash recovery (twrp File name ).img
If it didn't work, flash cwm and then twrp 8.6.0. Maybe it'll work Or flash twrp img while ur in twrp itself. Or download advanced reboot if ur using stock rom.

Like flashing the full firmware? It should work, because something is wrong with ur recovery system.
