[Q] HTC One doesnt have OS, and PC wouldnt recognize it.

Hi guys, Im a newbie with cell phone and last week i tried to Root my sprint HTC One. But something went wrong, and i decided to delete everything on my phone and i didnt noticed that would also delete the OS.
I did some researches on Internet about restore to stock Android, and all of them requeire a connection phone to PC. But the problem is my pc cant recognize it. I use a windows8.

Yo ! Do you have cwm recovery ???
Do you have the drivers installed on pc ???
If you can boot into recovery flash any rom (for one only ! Duh!)
sorry for any ty¶°s

Boot in recovery, after you can push with adb command a rom or you can sideload it.
You know what's adb/fastboot?

Push a rom into the sd with the command:
Code:
adb push nameofrom.zip
or use adb sideload:
Code:
adb sideload rom.zip

Use USB-OTG and flash a ROM using that.

If u can get to the bootloader try flashing a new recovery. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Sorry, i am kinf of a newbie with those kind of stuff But when i go to fastboot/bootloader, my computer does not work with it, i have tried many different drivers...so i can´t put any files in it anymore...

So you can get into recovery? Have you tried wiping it yet?

Looks like your system partition is empty, so you'll have to install a whole rom ,an OTA won't help an empty system

Okay, do you have any rom(eg. ARHD).zip on your phone? If you do, flash that via twrp, and you're done
If you don't, copy a rom to a USB flash drive and connect it to your phone with an OTG Cable, and flash it via twrp
If you don't have an OTG cable, try this to sideload a rom to your internal sd card http://teamw.in/ADBSideload

No, i don´t have any rom in the phone...i´m now trying the last option...the sideload-thing...my other computer is very slow...so it will take while...but how i can get the phone like it was when i bought it ? So no root access and stock rom and so on ???

Boot your phone into bootloader-fastboot
Connect it to your pc so it shows fastboot-usb
then open cmd in the folder containing adb.exe (press shift+right click>open command prompt window here) and type fastboot getvar all

When your phone is in fastboot, type
fastboot devices
Does it list your phone?
If it doesn't, try changing USB ports/cord, and also try uninstalling and then fresh installing new drivers after restarting your pc, then connecting your phone.

It's definitely NOT bricked. I'll keep an eye on this thread, you're getting great help but if you don't end up getting it fixed send me a PM, I sometimes forget about a thread I need to check back in on. It's for sure fixable and there's great advice in here.
Edit I somehow missed your last post before posting this. Send me a PM, and I'll help you get it fixed up after work.

ok so fastboot is working, as suggested before post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n).
If sideload isn't working you can use "adb push", but first thing is to reflash custom recovery just in case it's corrupted.
so download CWM or TWRP (from the threads in xda), then
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY
then
adb push <name of rom>.zip /sdcard/ (this will take anywhere between 5 to 15minutes and not show progress, eventually it should come back with "success")
then
install zip in recovery, and choose the <name of rom>.zip and install it.

please help, bricked htc one accidentally

I was trying to flash one of the kitkat based new roms i found on this site through the app and it didn't seem to work as i recieved the message saying installation aborted, then my phone buzzed and flashed and restarted but it's stuck on the htc quietly brilliant screen and i cannot get to recovery at all. when i try i see the lights at the bottom menu buttons just flashing.
I did a backup before the install but can't get into recovery now. i've found a proper nandroid backup but my phone wont turn off,restart or go into recovery now, so pissed. please help asap
p.s. the rom i can't even remember the name of it but it said it was one for all versions of htc one.
mine is the canadian version on rogers if it matters.
.and it looks like my computer isn't recognizing it now either

What I'm gonna say is ridiculous! BUT IF YOU DIDN'T **** UP YOUR BOOTLOADER you should be able to boot into the bootloader by performing these steps:
First: Press the power and volume up/down button for about two minutes... your phone should respond with vibrate/flashing...
Secondly: Hold your phone under a bright light and press the powerbutton for a minute or so... then try different combinations with the hardwarebutton until it boots into the bootloader.
From bootloader you can perform the following steps to get a OS working on your phone:
This is a quote by me, someone had almost the same problem like you:
Okay, first here you have the correct adb and fastboot files, I uploaded them quickliy for you, I think this way they should work properly:
http://uploaded.net/file/ykwya517
Next thing are these HTC Drivers, in this post are a few of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2089508 and on my computer there are the 4.3.0.001 drivers, so I'd recommand downloading those(Credits go to @mdmower):
http://www.mediafire.com/download/n5...+4.3.0.001.exe
Now shut down your phone and boot in into the bootloader with pressing the power button and the volume down button. Then select fastboot and enter this menu. Now if the drivers are installed correctly there should be written FASTBOOT USB. I think you said you are unlocked... so the following command should run just fine. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where adb and fastboot are placed. In this folder you copy your custom recovery(TWRP) and you flash it with this command:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [recoveryname].img
And DON'T worry about adb in the bootloader! ADB doesn't work with the bootloader. Now you boot into your recovery by chosing Recovery somewhere in your bootloader. If you are in the bootloader you somehow need to push the ROM to your HTC One... This should work with this command...
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored\rom.zip" "/data/media/0/rom.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And if this doesn't copy it correctly simply place your zip on your computer to a folder that is empty and push this folder to your HTC One with:
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored" "/data/media/0"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you are good to go, simply flash the zip form TWRP. I think you know how this works Simply go to install and then chose the zip and flash it.
If you now want to s off... then ask me again. I'll give you an advice

Thanks I got it working finally but it was sticking on the HTC screen for over an hr twice and the lamp worked within 10 seconds to get into recovery? I was so amazed that the lamp worked that I did it again and same results, stuck on HTC screen and the light worked again. That's to awesome. Thanks

Hey there. It's quite some time ago since I last "played around" with my HTC One M7 but I think I am still able to help you solve your problem.
Firsr a few questions:
> What OS are you using for adb? Win7/8/10?
> Do you have an USB OTG cable? (would make fixing very easy. You just copy the OS zip onto an USB stick and then plug it into your Cellphone using an OTG cable. Then flashing can be done without any problems)
If you've already solved your problem, notify my anyways

sorry i was at work but OS is windows 7 home premium
maybe i should look into the OTG cable.
i get a message saying "cannot read rom.zip" when trying to use command line to push as per the thousands of tutorials online lol.
when i plug in the phone to computer and turn phone on (which is on the HTC splash screen since no OS) then a popup on computer says installing device driver software.
Android Phone X Device Unplugged
USB Composite Device Ready to use
HTC MTP Device X Failed
USB storage devie Ready to use
My HTC Ready to use
HTC android USB Device Ready to use
my cable is really wobbly and none ive tried lately seem to want to fit in the slot snug so HTC MTP Device installed again and now says "Ready to Use also, then cycled the install again and settled on FAILED so only Android Phone has an X for device unplugged since no OS to turn on and HTC MTP has an X for Fail. this is where ill enter fastboot mode or recovery to try push/flash my copy of cm14 and gapps to the device.
i have cmd window open with rom and gapps and an updated version of twrp in adb and fastboot folder.
i entered fastboot mode and pushed recovery through then as per the tutorial i then entered recovery which flashed properly with the new version. then i went to adb sideload and all commands worked like adb kill-sever and adb usb also adb devices came with text saying list of attached devices which theyre is none.
then adb sideload rom.zip came back with:
error: device not found

HELPPP deleted my internal storage

Ok guys I went to wipe my htc one using twrp and I accidently wiped my internal storage so there nothing on my device to boot up I can get into twrp but I dont have any zips on there to flash I also tried to sideload but adb wont recognize my device which is weird because fastboot works fine I went to bestbuy Walmart radioshack to by an otg cable and try it with flash drive but no one has one so I ordered one from ebay but it will take a week to get it can someone please help with any other sugestions please pleasee I need my phone back

You may have to switch recoveries to TWRP 2.6.3.3 OR 2.6.3.0, and use a windows 7 machine.

Try it in recovery and also check to see if the device is being detached while in recovery by typing in "adb devices" in the command prompt.

So no adb in recovery, but fastboot working hmm. So adb devices shows nothing?
Your device is obviously being detected to have fastboot working.
Try adb kill-server to reset adb and then check if it's detectable in recovery, also make sure to mount the data.
Use a different computer if available
Make sure you don't have any tethers installed that would ruin adb like easy tether
Try downloading and reinstalling the adb universal set up drivers.
Try running a RUU if you can
Sorry if i'm not much help I'm still noobish to all this still

[Q] Bricked and bootlooping through the night after Revolution HD 6.1 GE

My One (M7) won't stop restarting and keeps boot looping repeatedly since I went from Renovate to Revolution HD 6.1 GE yesterday evening. I am able to get into the recovery, wipe data, erase cache, dalvik, etc. But no matter how many times I have freshly installed the zip file, wiped cache and dalvik, it keeps booting up only till the 'Welcome' Screen (of Google) and restarts itself without my even touching the phone.
I tried to even force shut the phone but it just won't shut down and automatically restarts itself with that familiar buzz of the One.
I know this phone has been bricked but never had this big of an issue switching between ROMs in the past, given the process of doing it is very straightforward (zip file download--erase/wipe data--cache--dalvik cache--restart).
For my phone's safety and not 'burn it out' by repeatedly restarting itself, I have currently kept the phone on the CWM recovery screen as I write.
I forgot to add that I even did factory reset three times
Any help or suggestions?

@clsA; Thanks for the link for TWRP. My issue right now is I cannot access the virtual SD and don't know how to transfer the TWRP zip from the comp to the One without having the computer recognizing it as USB. Does that make sense?
My system is Windows 8.1, and I tried reading up the forums here for the correct HTC driver for 8.1 without much insight into the correct driver.
@ Sahil: I appreciate your attempt at helping me, but sometimes seniors forget that they were juniors at some point. Saying something with emphasis doesn't exactly get the point across. I know I have to "Fix. driver. issues" but it's easier said than done when you are in a catch-22 where both recovery and the bootloader are accessible, but you cannot have the computer recognize your phone because...well, the driver is being recognized and yet not recognized. Let me explain. When I connect the phone to the computer, it briefly shows up as removable storage (with the "10 gb out of 25.2 available" page) but since it is constantly bootlooping, it doesn't stay long enough on the page for me to access it. To compound my frustration, in the boot loader, clicking on 'fastboot' immediately flashes the message that I mentioned previously (USB not recognized...). In short, I KNOW that my phone is in working condition, but I am stuck in a continuity of hurdles.
I am desperately trying to read right now and find the correct drivers for my HTC One (with Windows 8.1 compatibility)

@clsA; Thanks for the link for TWRP. My issue right now is I cannot access the virtual SD and don't know how to transfer the TWRP zip from the comp to the One without having the computer recognizing it as USB. Does that make sense?
My system is Windows 8.1, and I tried reading up the forums here for the correct HTC driver for 8.1 without much insight into the correct driver.
@ Sahil: I appreciate your attempt at helping me, but sometimes seniors forget that they were juniors at some point. Saying something with emphasis doesn't exactly get the point across.

windows 8.1 only has problems with the old 1.54 and 1.44 hboot .. the drivers work fine with hboot 1.55 and up.
Have you actually shut the phone off yet ?
hold the phone under a lamp and hold the power button and vol down and count to 60. let go of the power button and continue to hold vol down till you get to the bootloader. quickly hit power and volume down to shut off and hit power.
leave it off for a couple min then bootup again holding vol down.

boot phone in your actual recovery (cwm) with the twrp.zip file in your adb/fastboot folder, open a command prompt
Code:
adb push TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7.zip /sdcard/
then flash twrp.zip from cwm, clear cache and reboot the phone to twrp
then you'll be able to boot in twrp recovery and adb push and flash newer sense roms (i.e sense ARHD)

@ alray
I understand here that you are asking me to boot into the CWM recovery, correct? I can definitely do that. The next part of your instruction is a bit harder for me to follow. I sincerely apologize if I sound idiotic. I am trying to learn here so that if it happens again (or anyone suffers the same fate), I would know what to do or say. Kindly walk me through here.
I have the TRWP zip file. If I place/put it in the adb/fastboot folder, how do I run the command prompt without the computer flashing the USB message?
So, here is what I am gathering from your directions
a) Boot into recovery (?)
b) Connect the computer via cable and run the command prompt and the script (?) [Here won't the computer flash USB not recognized?)
Again, I am sorry again I am asking what might perhaps be stupid questions to you or other senior members. I appreciate everyone's efforts in helping me out here.

windows 8.1 driver fix

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

Windows 8.1 doesn't play nice with hboot 1.44 and 1.54 for FASTBOOT connection (phone in bootloader mode). It should work fine using ADB (when your phone is booted in custom recovery or in the OS)
so you could try to fix your drivers with the info cIsA gave you and flash your recovery the ''standard'' way via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery[B][COLOR="Red"].img[/COLOR][/B]
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
or
get rid of windows 8.1 and use a good OS (imo) like Windows 7, XP, Linux, or MacOs so you can connect your phone to you computer without issues
or
flash the recovery.zip from recovery. in this case you must copy the recovery.zip to your internal memory (/sdcard) using ADB:
open the folder where you have ADB/FASTBOOT in, hold left shift + right click a blank space in that folder, select ''start command prompt here''
then in the command prompt enter this command:
Code:
adb push TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7[B][COLOR="Red"].zip[/COLOR][/B] /sdcard/
then hit ''enter'' and wait for the file to transfer
when the transfer is completed, flash the zip file using cwm, erase cache and reboot in your new recovery, push a rom that doesn't require s-off (i.e arhd 71.1) using the same method:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
then flash the rom and enjoy your phone

To make stuff easier download minimal adb and fastboot from the net. Copy the zip into the folder and do what the gut above said

So, I installed the TWRP using the method you mentioned, rebooted, deleted cache, and then again, 'push Android_Revolution_HD-One_71.1.zip /sdcard/'
How long was/is this supposed to take, being a gig file? In the cmd window, the cursor just blinks and nothing is happening (unlike installing TWRP when it installed in few seconds)

Firstly, I would like to thank EACH and EVERY senior member to itsber here who helped me through this crisis. It has been an eye opener for me, being a junior member. I managed to follow the steps outlined and restore my phone to its working condition with ARHD 71.1. THANKS A LOT!!!
Also, for those who are thinking of flashing ARHD 6.1 GPE on their One, make sure that your phone has S-off. That might have one reason why my phone went into a tailspin of automatic bootup and restarts. There might have been something else going on with that ROM as well. I am not sure. Repeated cleanup of cache and factory resets didn't help the cause earlier.
Anyways, I would like to make a small donation via Paypal to our community (especially for helping me out and showing us the ropes). If you can put up the link here, that would be nice.
Cheers everyone and happy flashing!:good::good::good:
