[Q] Help! Im pretty sure i bricked my new phone :(

Hello
Im a newb and im not sure if im posting this in the right spot so sorry if i screwed that up.
Anyway I got a new HTC One on saturday june 1st. I had litteraly no important data or anything on the phone so I followed a step by step instructions on how to unlock and root the phone. Unlocking and rooting went smoothly so I continued on and installed TWRP then downloaded ViperRom 1.04. Im still following a step by step guide so i did a couple of backups using titanium backup and the TWRP recovery. So I installed ViperRom and it worked great with only a little lag BUT then I made a HUGE MISTAKE and tried installing a custom kernel (using a guide).
After installing the kernel my phone is stuck in a loop. It boots up then after about 30 seconds it reboots itself. Panicking, I thought i would go back into the TWRP recovery and restore my backup but I cant get into the recovery . Everytime I try to get into the recovery from the bootloader it just sends me to fastboot. Can anybody help me?

1. Download the ADT here (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) and extract to some location on your computer. Browse to the extracted folder, look for the folder named platform-tools and right-click on it while holding down the Shift key on your keyboard and choose Open command window here.
2. Put your phone in Fastboot mode (press and hold volume down + power key until you see a menu on the phone and select Fastboot and plug in the USB cable)
3. In the command window, type: fastboot erase cache and hit Enter. You should now be able to reboot into recovery and restore your backup.
It's a good practice to keep the ADT folder on your computer to utilize tools such as adb, fastboot, etc. Very handy.
Edit: here's a zip file with just adb, fastboot, and some other files. Much smaller in size:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/yb3n6ga0sp2q02y/ADT.zip, 923KB.

I downloaded hasoon2000's ,noob proof, all in one kit and erased the cache then i booted to the recovery and was able to restore from there.
Works now thank god

[Q] Looking for help. Cant boot phone, recovery nor use adb commands.

Hej guys. I really hope that you can help me with my problem
Have been trying for 2 days and looking at post but haven't been able to get it fixed.
Here goes.
I have been playing around with custom roms on my htc one for a while now.
Then when i was about to install a new custom rom, i first wiped my phone.
I properly wiped something that should not be wiped, because i ended up with no os and no custom rom zip file that i could install in twrp.
I then tryed sideloading revolutions, and it seemed to work because it ended up booting on the phone and i could select what programs too install with it... but halfway through it stoped and rebooted.
now i cant even get into recovery anymore, and booting the phone only gets it to htc briliant logo. Then it restarts and tryes going into recovery, but it cant, and ends up just restarting over and over again.
Tryed flashing cwm and twrp again, but still cant get into recovery.
adb dont fint my device, and i have tryed all drivers i could find.
Tryed using a RUU, but it fails. Properly because its not the right one, but cant fint one that fits.
Sooo... i think im in a real pickle right now.
my radio is :4a.14.3250.13
hboot: 1.44.0000
Thinking about going back with my phone, but with the warranty gone i dont know if they'll even look at it.
Hoping for some advise, or some ideas on what to do.

Well, im really just trying to get an os flashed back on the phone so i can boot it, either by another custom rom or a stock rom.
But since i cant use adb commands, how do i get a new rom on there?

So I'll try here first. I am having the same issue, I can't get the device to boot into recovery, no matter if I clear the cache, or flash either one of twrp or CWM.
I unlocked the bootloader, I think used the all in one toolkit to flash the recovery. When that didn't work, I erased the cache and manually flashed the recovery, and it said it pushed successfully.
I am at a loss, I have no idea what to try next, any help would be appreciated.
******Finally got it, I had to disable Fast Boot in the Power options in Settings******

How do you copy update.zip from external to internal SD?
Sorry if it's a total no-brainer, but how do I manually copy a recovery zip to the internal update.zip? Can I do this from my phone (which is stuck in a bootloop: see below)? Or do I have to use ADB with my computer?

My situation:
Using Open Recovery I tried to install CM7 with custom kernel on my XT720
It gave an error: "assert failed: write_raw_image... Status 7" As I was looking that up, my phone blackscreened. After a while I pulled the battery.
Then on startup it went into a bootloop after a picture of a broken screen saying "2ndboot kernel restart in progress." (Presumably the kernel wasn't properly applied?)
Trying to boot into bootloader says battery is too low.
Phone will only turn on when plugged into outlet.
What I think I need to do:
- Copy a good update from my external SD over the bad update.zip on the internal SD, and apply the update to reset the kernel, etc.
- Open Recovery could do this, if I could load it.
- I could load Openrecovery if I could get the bootloader to run,
- I could get the bootloader to run if my battery would charge

[Q] I just dun goofed :(

Hey guys, long time lurker and now first time poster. Shame it has to be something very stupid.
So anyways, I wanted to flash the latest CM10.2 Unofficial build so I did the usual and downloaded the zip & gapps to my phone. But upon wiping my phone via TWRP I accidentally left the wipe userdata part checked and ... well now I have no OS installed as well as no zip's :/
I have TWRP installed so I thought why not sideload it, however when I go to advanced -> adb sideload it never starts up. This is the log:
Updating partition details...
Starting ADB sideload feature...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And it just stays there
I know that my ADB works as I have S-OFF & unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest 1.54.0000 hboot so I can definitely use it, I just don't understand why it doesn't let me sideload for some reason.
Either way, I have full access to fastboot & TWRP recovery so i'm hoping this is a pretty simple thing to fix ... right?
Can anybody point me to the right direction?
Details:
No OS installed.
Access to TWRP & fastboot.
S-OFF, Modified Hboot 1.54.0000 (SuperCID) & Unlocked bootloader.
Windows 8 64-bit, drivers all work.
Latest SDK with all the binaries installed.
P.S. when I connect and try and use adb devices it doesn't recognise my device, and the cmd window gives the following when I try the sideload command:
Error: device not found.

Sounds like a driver issue to me but it doesn't make sense that the drivers would suddenly stop working ???
Here are screenshots of odd device behaviour when switching from fastboot to recovery (please copy & paste, I don't have enough posts to post images yet):

Bump for help

I can't seem to get sideload to work in TWRP at the moment either. CWM works fine though, try flashing that and use the sideload feature.

Tried that already, same issue in not detecting the device. I'm downloading these drivers in a hope to fix something.
Thanks for the reply
EDIT:
Finally got sideloading in TWRP to work, it turns out it was a driver issue :/
Anyways, these are the drivers that worked:

why is everyone always wiping their storage these days? just use CWM next time and you wont accidentally do this again..

TWRP is much better for people who know what they are doing. There are more options and also a built in file manager. Also, the wipe button in TWRP wipes the 3 main partitions at once (data/cache/dalvik), so he must have actually selected internal sdcard from the advanced menu, and I have no idea why he would do that...

Doing the slider is all anyone needs to do in twrp to wipe yet I read more posts about people wiping with twrp than any other problem in these forums

[Q] unlocked bootloader and installed supersu but still no root.

Hello everyone. I have been using the information from xda developers since the att tilt came out to configure my phones, a lot has changed since then. I'm now using HTC one sprint version and have unlocked bootloader and installed supersu (superuser first but saw it was not for android 4.1+ so found supersu) and root checker says my device is not rooted. I looked over all the videos on YouTube but still cannot figure out what I did wrong. Can someone please help me? This is my first attempt to root by the way. Been at it for two days now.

Thanks for the reply! That lets me know I posted correctly. So I did install custom recovery, clockworkmod and I did the unzip from sd option. The phone updates and I reboot but still not rooted. I will try again right now and write everything down.

Just tried again in clockwork recovery touch v6.0.3.3 I went to install zip, choose zip from sdcard, UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41/ which is the folder it's in. After that phone loads saying update UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41/ finding update package. Followed by opening update package and then installing update. It says mounting, disabling OTA survival, removing old files, creating space, extracting files, restoring files, setting permissions and ending with unmounting then done. Now my android version is 4.3 and I previously unzipped through recovery superuser no supersu but uninstalled it because superuser I had said only good for android 2.0-4.0 . My hboot is 1.55 and my phone says m7_wls pvt ship s-on rh if that helps. For some reason though Rom manager sees my device as m7spr, unsupported device in clockwork recovery option of that program. Sorry if I'm confusing you, just wanted to put everything that I can give at this time.

you may need to update the supersu to 1.80. i think you can find it in the forums here, i can't remember where its at also you may need to install TWRP 2.6.3.0, these recoveries are touchy here lately.
might look at big daddy's FAQ forum lot of help there.

thanks again for the help. I will flash with twrp, I like clockworkmod because I had it on my rooted evo I paid someone to root for me. I'll look for it and the supersu youbare referring to. Any special information or steps I need to do to change recoveries or updating to a new supersu? Like do I need to delete or wipe cache before going into fastboot ?

no you do not need to wipe anything, make sure your sdk tools are up to date, and flash recovery with adb.(fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img)
you should uninstall the superuser before installing a new one.

Same Problem, easy solution
I downloaded 1.80 update but TWRP told me that it was bad. Every time I downloaded the update (from my current 1.65) it didn't work. Finally, I clicked the link for the Play Store, installed SuperSU, it updated, and everything works again.

Deleted files return on boot

Hi all, just purchased an HTC one and rooted following some instructions via an xda video.
The phone is confirmed rooted s-on (via root checker) and has super su installed. Now the phone came only with some O2 hideous bootanimation and downanimation and I wanted to remove them. Installed root browser and deleted the .zip files from system/customise/resources and restarted to confirm. When turning off, the animation isnt there, but upon restart the animations return, together with the files deleted previously. Any ideas what can I do to leave these files permanently deleted?
thx

I use ElementalX, a lot of guys on here do, and flash it in recovery, twrp 2.6.3.3 its recommended, I know there is newer versions on that site ive linked below, but use 2.6.3.3 as its the most compatible.
TWRP 2.6.3.3. can be found here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
ElementalX here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249774
make sure you do a full back-up beore flashing anything, bootloader must be unlocked, and select the correct kernel as per your phone sense and rom version, found in settings, about phone.
