Hey guys,
So I wasn't paying attention while trying to restore my HTC One to stock. I ended up formatting and erasing all data on the entire phone. It has no OS now. Here's what I am ABLE to do:
Boot into Bootloader and Fastboot
Access TWRP Recovery
HTC Dev Lock and Re-Lock
Here's what I am UNABLE to do:
Sideloading ADB is unavailable due to error messages stating Unable to mount <partition> and every partition is unable to mount.
I have tried to mount the partitions within TWRP, this doesn't work.
Achieve S-Off
I just need to get the phone back to some type of working order so that I can sideload a ROM over or fastboot a fully stock zip. Can anybody help me here? I've seen very similar issues all over the forums, all of the problems they encountered could be fixed by ADB sideloading a ROM, again, I cannot access ADB sideloading.

U can use a USB OTG cable. Download ARHD(or any rom of ur choice), copy it to a USB. then using the OTG cable, u can flash the rom from TWRP. Once u have a working OS, continue with the RUU process
One other note, I have downloaded two different instances of the shipped ROM for this phone. When trying to "fastboot update update.zip" on either of them, I get the following error message and a failure to update:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n) and what version number of TWRP you're using
your probably just using an outdated twrp version, flash 2.6.3.3 and then retry sideloading
I am in the exact same situation. Phone literally ground to a halt last night, so rebooted it and it got stuck in a boot loop. Phone isn't rooted, it wasn't unlocked at the time (it is now, since I've been trying to fix it for the past day) and I literally have no idea how to fix it. Although I think my situation is worse, I can't access anything else other than the bootloader...
I've tried RUU (which I can't do because I'm not S-Off and I'm on hboot 1.45)
I've tried just flashing a new recovery (but whenever I try to enter the recovery it gets stuck saying 'Entering Recovery' then the phone goes back into the boot loop)
Like literally the only thing I have access to is the bootloader, everything else sends it into a boot loop, hell I can't even format or flash imgs (apart from recovery imgs) without fastboot giving me an error message.
I fear the phone is completely ****ed, and this has come out of completely nowhere. Except now that I've unlocked the bootloader to try and fix it, it says TAMPERED and UNLOCKED which means I WONT GET A REPAIR...

1- are you sure you're using the correct recovery for your phone (e.g. M7_U/UL vs Sprint!!)
2- have you checked MD5 of the download, to make sure it's not corrupt; TWRP site doesn't play nice with download managers, so please check MD5

Cache is fine, it erases properly
I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" when I try to erase system or data
I have tried flashing every single img from the official TeamWin projects site (the ones that look like openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img) and absolutely none of them work. They all say "Okay" as if they flash correctly, however when I select to go into recovery from bootloader, it brings up "Entering Recovery" then reboots and goes back into the boot loop

My hboot is currently on 1.55, is that not the latest? The phone was on 4.3, and it literally just started boot looping out of absolutely nowhere. This sucks so much and I have no idea how to fix it and can't find anybody who can
When I try to flash a different hboot, I get the error "FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)".
Again, MD5s on the TWRP files I downloaded are fine. All I can do is use fastboot to varying degrees of success, and nothing works when I try to use RUU... It's a soft brick, but it's completely and utterly broken and I can't see any way to recover it (and I can't send it for repair since it is now marked as tampered)

Hi Xda
Forgive me for what you are about to read, as I have carried out some dumb ### noobness:
I was running Sinless 5.1Gpe rom (great rom) anyways I wanted to return to a sense based rom so decided to go for ARHD 40.2 fter reading a number of posts mentioning doing a complete wipe of the phone including SDCARD. I checked the process of pushing via adb and all seemed simple enough.
I initially did a test and it pushed the file, so then i carried out the complete wipe (no OS, no rom on sd card to flash). I then tried to push the rom and it failed. I tried a number of different ways sideload too.
I managed to get the rom to push in the end using the lastest TWRP of which it would not allow me to do rom failed to flash...
Now this is the stupid part, TWRP became unresponsive, and every time I tried to boot into recovery it would kick me out to the spash screen and bootloop. I did the fastboot erase cache without any success.
I managed to switch to CWM but could not mount anything so came across a post about switching to stock....This is the really stupid part. I flashed a stock recovery and also I now have a relocked bootloader.
Is this phone now bricked??
I have fastboot available
I am S-off
I can boot into stock recovery (Red triangle)
I cannot use ADB (device not recognised)
I cannot re unlock bootloader (tried twice and failed) - I will try again as it got to 4am and had to be up for work at 6am.
Any help really really apreciated.
Many thanks
Mick

if you have s-off you should flash back a custom recovery:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY, and adb should be working again,
use this to unlock your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
there's also a handy Guru Bootloader Reset (flashable zip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
but it needs either CWM 6.0.3.2+, or TWRP 2.6.3.3+ to work.
or even "revone -u"

If you can get to the stock recovery press volume up then power button and quickly release both buttons and you should be in stock recovery. From here you should be able to follow any of the posted steps to flash a RUU back to pure stock.

I cant flash custom recovery the error i get is similar to trying to unlock.(above)
I cannot also use that thread because I cannot access adb (even though my phone recognises fastboot in device manager, when I go to what is now stock recovery is disappears from device manager)
I have no OS so cannot open up emulator for revone.

You're getting "cannot load"? That just means the filename is wrong, as simple as that. If ur on Windows, check for .img.img (double extension)

I now have an unlocked bootloader
I have also now flashed CWM 6.0.4.5 however I still do not have adb available. The difference now is fastboot is recognised in device manager as before but when I boot into CWM instead of it dissapearing, it moves to 'other devices' one (with yellow exclamation) I know it did this before because of drivers not being installed/recognised but I have htc sync manager installed which in theory has installed the drivers??!
Anything else I can try without adb?
Again many thanks for your assistance, I see you in a number of threads helping people...top bloke!
Further update
I downgraded my hboot back to 1.55 and now TRWP is now functioning, I have now pushed a rom to the phone, however flash fails due to "unable to mount to internal storage"
Is there a fix for this?

I suggest that you downgrade to Hboot 1.44, keep the bootloader locked and run the 1.28.401.7 RUU to be completely stock. Then its up to you whether you re staying stock or flashing sth custom.

Yes there is a fix. Install stock recovery. Go to bootloader and select factory reset. It will go to stock recovery and do it's thing and should go into a Bootloop . install custom recovery you should be good
Hi All
Just a quick note, to say all back up and running, thanks for all the respondants who helped.
I wanted add how i got it up and running, so if anyone has similar issues they can use it:
I believe the biggest culprit was the newest Firmware and TWRO 2.3.3.3 in which it did not want to load.
I downgraded by Hboot to firmware 3.xxx and then flashed TWRP 2.3.3.0 and it let me in instead of kicking me out to a bootloop.
I then had access to ADB sideload, which did not work for me in the 1st instance that led me to my problem, This i believe was due to not having the lastest SDK.(upgrade this).
Make sure the Rom you are pushing works well for that downgraded firmware i.e. a solid 4.3 based rom in my case.
Also to note I wiped my external SD card and was unable to mount this to flash, let TWRP sort this by doing a factory reset prior to flashing.
Hope this helps anyone who experienced similar symptoms to me.

well as your s-on, you can forget about any RUU's at all for now.
I would recommend you flash twrp recovery, use 2.6.3.3 and then erase cache, then reboot bootloader (see commands below).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after that go into twrp recovery and select wipe then format data, this will completely wipe your phone of everything, but as its already messed up then it doesn't really matter, does it.
once that is done, download a sense rom from the development section and try and push it to your internal sdcard, if successful then flash it.

adb push it straight to the sdcard, make sure your phone is plugged into the computer and the rom is in the same folder as adb and fastboot files, then issue this command:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
it will look like its not doing anything but will let you know when its done, then uplug your phone before flashing the rom.
and both TWRP and CWM have their good points, you need CWM to flash AOSP rom's and TWRP to flash sense rom's

Strangely this is exactly the position I'm in today too.
I wanted to revert to stock after trying cyanogen, relocked the bootloaded and tried to run an RUU. However it stopped with an 'unknown error'. So I tried to push a zip file to it but the adb can't connect to the device and the phone isn't showing up in the device manager (because it's in boot mode?).
I then tried your advice about twrp and tried a different RUU but still get an unknown error and still can't push to the device.
Any ideas of what to try next? My OS is now showing as empty, there was something there previously.
I figured it was time to get some help before I broke things any more.

first thing to do is unlock your bootloader again, if you've not already done that, then get TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery on there, that maybe a problem though as your phone isn't showing in device manager.
So put your phone into the bootloader and see what device manager says then, it should say something if its detecting your phone, even if drivers arnt installed.
also, which HBOOT are you on ? and which Windows OS are you using ?

I think I've unlocked the bootloader again, fastboot is available and it's showing 'unlocked' at the top. twrp is on there too and I've done the wipe again. The fastboot commands work but pushing doesn't
error: device not found
HBOOT is 1.55.0000 / win7 64 home
Btw Twrp said it couldn't find cache but the wipe was successful.
Thanks for the help.

ok I see what your saying now, what you need to do is boot into TWRP, main screen only, no sub menu's, at that point is your phone still detected in device manager ?
if so then............
put the rom you want to flash in the same folder as adb and fastboot files on your computer, then type:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
you cant push files to your phone using fastboot or whilst its in the bootloader, that's strictly for flashing simple files like Radio's, HBOOTS, recoveries.

Well at least I've got something in the device manager even if it is a SAMSUNG Android Phone and not my HTC!
The push command hasn't brought up an error, the cursor is just flashing on the next line. It appears to be doing nothing like you said. So I guess I'm playing the waiting game for ten minutes or so. Will there be a notification when it's completed?

you dont need s-off, however, if you want s-off it would be advised whilst your on a low HBOOT before you update, but thats a different story.
your re-locked, so do you know if it has a custom recovery on it, or a custom rom, or is it 100% stock, to be sure, unlock your bootloader, because if it is running anything custom, it wont boot with a re-locked bootloader, unlock here:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
just follow the instructions and report back when done, it will give you some adb and fastboot files, keep those, you'll need them and will also teach you how to use them if you dont know. :good:

what you need to do is flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery and create a simple backup, just something like the boot, then plug your phone into the computer, whilst its still in recovery mode, that recovery supports MTP so your internal storage should open up on your computer, if it doesnt, you have a driver problem, but if it does, then navigate to TWRP/Backup/Phone serial number/todays date and some other details, delete the backup files out of there and place the files inside this zip in there instead, files only not folders: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459333
unplug your phone and restore that backup.
once restored, restart your phone and just do a basic setup.
then put this on your internal storage and again boot into recovery mode and flash it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459512
once finished, do a full restart of the phone, your now nearly full stock, one last step, your need to flash the firmware which is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655045066 once downloaded just name it to firmware for ease and put it in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, reboot your phone to the bootloader and lock the bootloader (required to flash firmware as you are s-on), issue these commands.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader[I] (should now say relocked at the top)[/I]
fastboot oem rebootRUU[I] (screen turn black with silver HTC logo)[/I]
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip [I](failed is normal the first time, it will say please flush again) soooooo[/I]
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
[I]as long as it says successful at the end this time your good to go, if not, report back here before the next command, if all is ok then:[/I]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot
when you restart your phone will be full stock and you should now be able to update, recommended as your firmware is quite old, however, I would recommend before updating that you try and get s-off, for this you will need to use rumrunner s-off tool, you can find it here plus the instructions: http://rumrunner.us/ (you might want to try this after: "once restored, restart your phone and just do a basic setup." before flashing the firmware and preload data part)

to clear those errors, in TWRP recovery select wipe - format data, this will wipe the entire phone, then reboot back into recovery.
The internal storage popping up on your computer only works when you are booted into recovery (main recovery screen only) and only with TWRP recovery 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.4.0.

If you get s-off, it wil be way way easier to fix, no need to go through all that stuff again, just change cid, mid and run and RUU.
I did a factory reset from within the settings of the phone, it shows the erasing android and then flickers with and image of an android with triangle. Does this several times and then just stops on the android with red triangle. I can get into stock recovery, tried resetting from there but same thing happens. Also, if I just leave the phone it reboots and then tries to erase and then I get the same loop of it trying and failing.
Any ideas how to fix this? Phone is on the stock 5.0 rom and I have the pure edition.

How large is your mfastboot? It should be 521KB. If it is smaller than that, you don't have the right one.
What was the bootloader error?
Also now that you have flashed 1 sparsechunk, try MDM again.
You also can try flashing the 4.4.4 system.img if you can find it and then run MDM again b/c it will try to update you.

Can you get into recovery from the bootloader mode? I would get into recovery and wipe cache and then do a wipe data/factory reset and see what happens.

I will check out that thread, thanks. I cannot get into recovery from bootloader because it reboots into the erasing android which fails and then I get android with triangle and then I can get into recovery. But wiping cache and factory resetting from there does nothing, it reboots into the erasing android and then it fails to erase again.

Tried fastboot boot twrp.img but it won't boot, then tried flashing using fastboot and mfastboot but twrp won't install. Nothing will finish installing, tried flashing everything I can but it keeps failing.
Got the 4.4 image and started with flash partition gpt.bin but got bootloader failed to write primary GPT, bootloader failed to progra partition table, failed remote failure.
On phone I see incomplete boot image for booting, mismatched partition size (recovery). MDM sees my phone and says it is on the current version but I cannot get out of this factory erase looping. Nothing is flashing successfully, I remember seeing something about RSD Lite, will that help me in any way?

Got the 4.4 image and started with flash partition gpt.bin but got bootloader failed to write primary GPT, bootloader failed to progra partition table, failed remote failure.
On phone I see incomplete boot image for booting, mismatched partition size (recovery). MDM sees my phone and says it is on the current version but I cannot get out of this factory erase looping. Nothing is flashing successfully, I remember seeing something about RSD Lite, will that help me in any way?
Thanks

RSDLite will just use mfastboot to flash. You definitely CANNOT downgrade the partition table - it would leave you with a bootloader partition table version mismatch. So don't attempt that.
You are on the 5.0 bootloader (60.11) correct? If so, did you try flashing the 5.0 partition table (gpt.bin)?
Is your device recognized when you are in recovery and you type in the commad:
adb devices

As of now I can only get into fastboot mode, I don't believe the phone can even cycle through trying to boot any more. I tried rebooting from fastboot mode but there was an error and it failed.
I tried finding the exact image for 5.0 but I was only able to find the thread that had system, recovery and boot. Do you know a link to find the 5.0 partition table?

Downloaded the 5.0 file from there, started flashing those files and it worked up until recovery, then I got the same bootloader message I was getting previously. Tried them over again and they all failed.
When in recovery adb devices starts the daemon and then says list of devices attached but I don't see anything after that.
I think it is fubar`d, going to have to file a warrant claim or use the moto care I purchased.
Hoping I could get some help for this old phone. I've spent over 5 hours trying to get twrp installed and having no success in what should be one of the quickest steps in the whole rooting/flashing game. Reaching out for help before I lose my mind...
I've tried 2 different builds of oreo and 2 different builds of pie (all stock) and for each build I flashed different twrp versions from this link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=232371. I even tried the android 9/10 versions on the android 8 builds. No errors in fastboot. If I try using power plus either of the volume keys it just boots right to android. If I try using the fastboot command (fastboot boot recovery.img) it freezes at the Sony logo. Doesn't seem to be an issue with twrp because I couldn't find a single mention of anyone else having this issue in any of the threads I've read while trying to troubleshoot. Any suggestions?
Is your bootloader locked?

Oh, right, I should have mentioned that it's definitely unlocked. I checked in the service menu and I get the warning at startup.
Hmm what android version are you running currently, latest stock pie? It's possible your recovery partition is corrupt somehow.
Open up a terminal for fastboot and try running:
fastboot format recovery
or
fastboot erase recovery
then
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-lilac-pie-5.img
I used twrp-3.3.1-0-lilac-pie-5.img on my device so I can confirm that one is definitely working.

So I managed to get this working. I tried the fastboot erase command but still had no success. Googled "fastboot erase twrp" or something like that and found a thread discussing how twrp was suspected of corrupting someone's data partition and running a "fastboot erase userdata" command to reformat the partition. I didn't think this would help my situation but figured I had nothing to lose at this point. Ran the "erase userdata" command, set up the phone again, but had no success at first.
I re-ran the "erase recovery" command and had no success with twrp 3.3.1. Then I tried 3.2.1 and initially had no success with hardware buttons or the "boot recovery" command. What I did this final time though, which I don't think I did on my previous attempts, was that instead of going back immediately and trying to re-flash twrp after the frozen sony screen, I gave up this time. BUT....I also said "f* it...let me try booting into recovery with the hardware buttons one last time." Lo and behold, I finally got into twrp!
I don't know if running the "erase recovery" command is what was needed, or it was just some quirky glitch where I needed the phone to freeze. Nevertheless, many thanks for responding and prompting me to make the last few attempts. Flashed magisk with no issue afterwards.
