[Q] My phone won't mount as a disc drive

I tried plugging my phone to a usb port on my computer using my usb cable/charger on my computer and on my phone, it gives me the option to mount it as a disc drive. I press yes to that, and the computer tries to install the driver software but keeps failing. I think this happened recently since i don't recall it trying to install the driver software for it. It works for other phones with their charger/usb cables just not for mine. It could possibly be my usb cable/charger but i don't think so. It its good condition. So what driver software, if that's an issue, would i need for it to work? Otherwise, i tried switching usb ports and updating them via device manager, so i don't know what else i could try.

What rom are you running? What os?
You probably need the Google USB_drivers that get installed with the sdk. If you search for "stand alone Google USB_driver" you can install it without the sdk.

You also should try mounting through your recovery. If that doesn't work then you may have a bigger issue.

Im using dReW's Ginger Faux ICS Rom ( the first rom in my sig.) My os is Android 2.3.7. I searched what you suggested but im not sure if this is it. Please let me know if it is or isn't.

It used to work and now it doesn't? Did you recently install any updates to windows, new hardware, av software or firewall?
have you tried a system restore?

[Q] "No OS installed!" Can't get past bootloader or recovery! Urgent Help!

I'm an amateur ROM flasher and I usually get around a problem after a few hours of messing around with the device and forums but I am absolutely stumped by this one. After unsuccessfully trying to flash a few roms, I decided to restore my phone back to what it was because I backed it up only a few hours before. All it would load is a black screen with the status bar showing the time and no signal, sometimes allowing me to slide to unlock to my saved launcher with still a black background. Not only would it never get reception, it would reboot within two minutes. This cycled until the battery would die. I ended up deleting everything on the device itself in attempt to fix something, not thinking I would delete my back ups and then my ability to ever get my phone past bootloader or recovery. I can still do fastboot commands and change the recovery, but besides that, it's a brick. Any kind of help would mean the world, thanks!

It would beat having to go thru all the adb setup if your not familiar with adb .

It's not a brick until nothing lights up our charges. And since there is no sd slot, that's out. You have access to recovery, you're fine. Download a stable Rom and just like fastboot, do an adb push of the Rom like suggested above. Wipe data, caches, and format system before flashing. No worries. All its not lost.

Any of those adb commands results only with "error: device not found"

This may not be a fix for HTC phones, but on Samsung devices, I've had to uninstall and reinstall drivers several times. Do and uninstall, run a registry cleaner, reboot pc, reinstall drivers, reboot, and try adb again. I used to do that every so often with my Samsung devices that wouldn't be properly detected by my pc. It usually fixed my problem.

Sorry, I'm not a Mac guy. I couldn't tell you. Can you poach some time on pc at work or a friend's? You may also be able to boot a Linux live disc on your Mac and work from there. Takes some effort, but may help.

No offense meant, but that information really needs to be in the first post. It could have made things significantly easier. We also really need to know what ROMs you were trying, because the problems you'r edescribing vaguely sound like you've flashed a GSM ROM somewhere along the line by accident, in which case you will need to RUU (and most of the guides are unfortunately pretty Windows-centric).

No offense taken. Unfortunately, a Mac is all I'm able to use at the moment. I'm trying to run CleanRom from the sprint htc one development section of this site, so I'm fairly certain it should work. My main problem right now is that using adb commands my phone is not recognized. Using fastboot, though, works absolutely fine to do whatever I need and recognizes my device. I've tried using twrp and clockworkmod recovery touch to sideload any zip file and just won't work. All it says after trying that is "failed to open driver control: no such file or directory".
Please do tell me if any other information would help you help me faster. I don't frequent forums so I'd imagine I'm quite frustrating to work with.

Anybody have any idea?

Fromatted and now my phone is blank

I need to know how to get a rom back on my phone. it is stuck on the white htc screen and will not do anything including shut off. Any help would be great thanks.

This happened to me recently as long as you can get into recovery your should still be fine. With TWRP you can use Adb sideload to push a rom back onto the phone.

now im in recovery what can I do to fix it? will you help me out please?

Holding down the power button long enough like 30 seconds should power off the phone. Maybe try to hold the Vol down button too like your entering the recovery. that might trick it to power off or reboot.

HTC One Issue

I accidentally wiped all the data on my HTC in TWRP as I was trying to upgrade to a different ROM, but it failed.
I can get into BOOTLOADER, but it comes up saying *** TAMPERED *** and *** UNLOCKED ***.
I can also get into Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.3.
When the phone boots it stays on the HTC screen and doesn't get any further because there's no ROM installed.
I've heard of ADB to try and push the ROM onto the phone, but can't find a tutorial on how to do it.
Any help which be much appreciated.
