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

[Q] Flashing a ROM with Unlocked Bootloader but S-ON. Possible ?

Hi
I have a HTC one m7 which went in Boot loop just like that. It was working perfectly some time back., just rebooted and won.t me back now. I had the latest stock OS 4.4 with sense 6 developer edition on it with no tamperig.
I tried many time wipe cache and factory reset. Nothing helped. Finally someone here suggested i do a unlock bootloader -> custom recovery -> custom rom -> s-off -> Load my Stock RUU.
Problem with above is i have done the unlock boot loader and install twrp recovery. But to do a s-off i need my device to read adb commands. As its in boot loop i cannot. Can i flash a custom binary which can run on S-on just to run those commands of firewater to make s-off.
I am stuck here. Please help to revive my device and reach me back to stock 4.4 sense 6 .
Also i came to know as i was on latest version if i flash a older RUU with S-On it can brick my device. True ?
And something else i noticed , i read some 4-5 thread in last two days complaining of HTC going in boot loop just like that.
HTC to blame ? Is this some issue with htc ???
Thanks

as mentioned in the previous post you made, you need to install a custom ROM first in order to boot back into your phone. You have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery. Now you need to sideload the ROM by adb sideload commands in order to boot the phone up again
Do not run an earlier RUU.zip as you will brick your phone. Firewater needs a working ROM, there are no ways to bypass this

Flash ARHD 81 or Insert Coin or Team Venom Rom
Step 1. Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP 2.7.x.x recovery. Don't install Twrp v2.8.x.x, wont work with any roms.
Step 2. Boot to Recovery.
Step 3. Mount the system using twrp. I am assuming that you don't have custom rom on your phone storage.
Note that TWRP v2.7.x.x wont mount the phone storage. v2.7 and above always had issues. My recommendation is to install TWRP v2.8 for temporary purposes. Now mount the phone storage copy any rom you downloaded to the system.
Step 4. Assuming that you install TWRP v2.8 to copy rom files to phone storage. Boot to bootloader again and Install TWRP using fastboot. Command: "Fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img"
Step 5. Reboot to recovery. WIPE DATA, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, SYSTEM > Install Rom.
Note do not wipe "internal storage." Otherwise you have to go back and start again with installing twrp v2.8, then copy rom...
Step 6: follow the steps.
IMO ARHD 81 is a stable rom, provides better battery life. If you like Sense then stick with this Rom, if you want Stock Android aka AOSP then try aospa legacy, CM, SlimKAT, AOSB and many more.
Moreover, i haven't found RUU for Sense 6 KK4.4.3, if you do please provide me a link as well.

As of yet there are no links for 4.4.3 RUU's. Haven't been released anywhere. He just needs a working ROM to get s off again. Nice step by step guide tho

Not able to copy my custom rom in phone.

Hi , i got stuck with a minor issue. I am with 2.8 TWRP was trying to mount the phone . i am using a mac os with the Android Revolution Rom downloaded in place. .
m7 gets mount i could see the phone in android fie transfer ( MTP utility for mac) . I selected the System and data and cache back in the twrp mount page. I can write and create some folders etc.
Issue is when i start to copy the Custom ROM file to the phone ( any folder) it says 'filexxx.zip not copy'. However i copied a small file (1mb). It was copied ok.
Any idea what is the issue with the file size restrictions?
I tried the adb sideload that also fails with saying device not found. Wanna avoid sideload, as sideload will execute also the zip after copying . I Want to change the recovery file as the recovery file need to changed to a twrp 2.7xx before installation starts. I hear that V2.8 is not compatible with lot of roms.

You are better using the 2.7.xx version of TWRP. Sounds like you could also be using out of date adb drivers. You can download the most up to date ones by downloading the latest Google sdk
Try fixing the above and sideloading again

No luck ! Fastboot mode also not getting detected now.

Hello i tried updating the drivers from the sdk itself. No luck . The device won't just get detect as adb device. Tried cache clear. factory reset , reboot pc and phone. And Loaded other twrp recovery images ( 2.8 and 2.7).
Today tried with a window machine also. I thought some issue with Mac + adb drivers. But with window also No luck.
Also one more issue, my phone fastboot has stopped detecting om pc and mac. Tried everything almost.
It was like just working some time back, i loaded twrp 2.7.x and booted to recovery for adb sideload.
Adb Sideload failed as mentioned above on this window machine also ... so i was like this adb is not working at all.
But then i thought of loading 2.8 twrp and see if mount (mtp) works, i can send the ROM to device this way. But for that when i booted to fastboot. Fastboot just stopped detecting in PC (window and mac)
I wonder can the Fastboot mode ( within Hboot bootloader) can go corrupt ?
I am sure drivers are there, usb cable is fine, usb port in HTC one is fine. It just show "fastboot ac" not "fastboot usb" . No activity in the device manager when i plug surprisingly !! (can't see Android phone there " . Afterall it was working ok when i loaded the recovery image of 2.7.1.
Also , can the recovery mess up with the fastboot mode ? i am still s-on and in boot loop.
-Thanks,

Sounds also like a driver issue
Try instling HTC sync to get the up to date HTC drivers and retry. Use different usb ports (2.0 preferably) and different cables. If it's saying fastboot ac then the phone is not being detected correctly, so it's a driver issue
You can also try manually installing the driver by searching for I think the Google naked driver

[Q] Stuck on Htc Logo cannot reboot

Hello all,
After following a few possibly outdated threads I was following this tutorial I found using google search (probably should have checked around for the all in one toolkit first):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
Since I looked at a bunch of ROM reviews I thought I'd try SlimRoms. So as per the suggestions under step 3, I skipped to step 4. I then followed the SlimRom instructions. I flashed Gapps successfully, but got a failed message when trying to flash the ROM. So I thought I'd just go to step 3 again. At this point I tried to reboot and got the following message
"Your device does not appear to be rooted. Install SuperSU now?..."
I choose to install and that's when my problem started. I was stuck at the htc loading screen. The following thread seemed like it would help, but since I installed the TWRP recovery 'm not sure where to find where to erase the cache and side load ROM for one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280230
I may have a learned a lesson, but still don't want to give up on taking a stab at having a rooted phone. I'd like to get better at it, so thanks for any and all advice.
Also sorry if the question sounds a little incoherent, I'm kinda tired and frustrated at the moment.

Thanks much man. I tried this but kept getting this error in trying to wipe dalvik and cache. So after several different attempts (rebooting, recovery, etc.) I decided to just format data. I then used the adb sideload feature in TWRP to try putting the zips back onto the sd card. Several frustrating failed attempts due to CP continuously telling me device not found. Finally, after making sure not to let my phone rest, I was able to get both on and then rebooted in TWRP. Ta da! I finally got past the HTC Logo screen and saw the sweet SlimKat logo. Now I'm just waiting for it to connect to service.
I never thought I'd be able to comprehend all this as I just started learning today, but thanks to you folks at XDA I'm (hopefully) starting to benefit. Hope to keep learning from you all. Thanks again.

[Q] [XT1072] Recovery black screen

Hey guys, I'm having a weird little problem here.
So I followed this guide here, unlocked my bootloader, everything fine.
So far so good. I flashed the mentioned TWRP Recovery through fastboot, no error messages, still looks like everything's fine.
But whenever I try to get from the fastboot screen on my phone into recovery mode, the screen stays black.
I tried restoring to stock, hoping that would add the original recovery back in. Nope, still black screen.
After that, I successfully flashed the recovery from this thread. Again, no error messages and everything looked fine. But still no luck. My recovery screen stays black for whatever reason.
I'm on Windows 8.1 64Bit and using the current Android SDK. The SDK setup had a little problem with finding Java JDK (64Bit) before I could set it up properly. But I solved that one by adding a system variable. Again, nothing out of the ordinary here, at least as far as I understand.
So what am I doing wrong?
I'd really like to get a custom rom with root on this baby. Don't wanna be stuck on stock. :/
Does anybody have an idea, how I could manage to access any kind of recovery in this case?

If the screen stay black then something went wrong
Fastboot gave you the OKAY on flashing ? Did you reboot your phone after you flashed the recovery ?
You don't have to, if you reboot you will have the stock one again = black screen.
Try like i did (assuming you correctly unlocked the bootloader, and installed MotorolaDeviceManager).
1) Get the right recovery for XT1072 from the author's post HERE.
2) Download the latest CM rom from HERE and latest CM gapps package from HERE.
3)Move the CM rom and the gapps zips on the SD or EMMC then reboot to bootloader.
4)Flash the recovery whit "fastboot flash recovery twrp-thea.img" and check if you got the OKEY from fastboot (DO NOT REBOOT YET).
5)Now pick up your phone and use VOL-DOWN to highlight RECOVERY then VOL-UP to start the recovery.
6)You should have the TWRP menu open now, go WIPE -> ADVANCED WIPE and check Dalvik/Data/Cache/System then swipe to wipe those 4 partitions.
7)Go back to main menu and select install, flash the CM12.1 zip then gapps zip and now you can reboot, first boot take a while so don't panic.
P.S.
I uploaded for you the latest untouched platform-tools folder (rev22) for windows if you wish to try this one, LINK, VirusTotal scan.

Stuck on fastboot mode everytime i try a Rom

I'm getting stuck on fastboot mode everytime i flash derpfest rom , i've tried ''fastboot reboot'' i've tried to install ''twrp'' or boot to it , nothing works everything i try takes me back to the fastboot logo although the install of the rom was succesfull , i've tried with TWRP-3.3.1-8-siankatabg and also with regular TWRP and also with ORANGE FOX recovery , i'm on miui 11.0.7 EU version , can anyone help me

In TWRP, format data and then flash derpfest ROM. Take note that your data will be wiped though.

I did just that I placed the ROM in /tmp/ using TWRP file manager then I formated system and cash and data and then I did the data format by writing "Yes" then went back and erased everything a second time for good measure but still after flashing the ROM I get stuck on fastboot with no ability to boot to recovery or use commands like "fastboot reboot" the only solution for me that time is to reuse mi flash to flash stock rom which doesn't work but lets me boot into recovery which i use to flash miui 11.0.7 zip which apparently works just fine .
Also the basics are covered I made sure to allow usb debuging and update TWRP and all of that

1. flash using miflash
2.setup ur phone
3.enable dev optmake sure oem unlock too
4.going for twrp
5. wipe
6. flash ur rom
7.dont go reboot to system
8.format data then rebot to system

In case nothing else helps you can try to flash vbmeta first, following these instructions.
Cheers
Toscha
