[Q] Stuck in Boot Cycle With Other Problems - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
First off please forgive how much of a low level noob I am am at this. I didn't create a backup unfortunately. Now we can get to the good stuff. I have unlocked, s-off, and rooted my phone. Loaded a great GPE rom on there and it was working perfectly fine. While looking for a SU for the Rom so that I could delete some wifi bs I found a the HD rom on this site that I would rather use. Soooo I rooted the rom and used cwm to load up the HD 6.1 rom. After the install, when rebooting, it asked me if I wanted to fix the SU permissions and i clicked yes. Now it is stuck in a boot cycle. When I enter fastboot I can enter commands (no adb detection) I can even flash a different recovery on there and the corresponding logo will flash for a second at the end of each boot cycle. Trying to launch reboot or factory reset will put me into another boot cycle. I have tried using fastboot to load directly into recovery but that freezes the phone 2/3 times. Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I can just go back to the GPE rom i was using and stop screwing around with my phone.

fastboot erase cache
then flash the recovery again (twrp 2.6.3.3 suggested)
then from recovery wipe and adb push or sideload the rom

I was able to get twrp to work by flashing it again, probably the 7th time, and erased the cache. Now I don't think i want to load the same rom that started this but to go back to the GPE version that I had. Is there a way to get this on the internal sd card through fastboot?

Your options are:
1) adb push
2) sideload from TWRP
3) OTG cable from TWRP
Lots of threads for each of these available in Google

I was ablt to get adb to recognize the phone however it lists it as a host. I go into the twrp and do the sideload but it opens up the debug message. adb sideload os.zip is the command I'm using as I renamed the file to os.zip so i don't have to type so much. I tried the adb push but it says error:Closed.

so adb push finally did something but not quite what I wanted this is the message I got
failed to copy '/Users/robertlitz/Downloads/Archive/os.zip' to '/data/media/0/': Is a directory

It worked!! Thank you so much. I had tried adb push os.zip /sdcard/ a while ago but it didn't take. by typing the zip name after sdcard i assume that "gives" the file an exact location to be placed?

Possible Bricked Phone

I am really hoping someone can be of some assistance to me, today i managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root the phone, i then stupidly downloaded and installed a boot animation from ROM Toolbox lite and went to TWRP and tried to flash it, it came up failed, tried to reboot but it only boots into recovery, tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory reset,system and format data and still it only boots into recoverywebt to advanced tried to install it said HTC Dumlock is installed but still boots into recovery,tried reflash to recovery abd restore original boot but still it wont boot up as normal, how can i get the phone to just boot up normally does anyone know?
I am such a twat im usually fairly careful when it comes to this type of thing, it'll be a nightmare if i have to pay to leave it into to get done.
Calm flash a custom rom after a full reset and it should work
If you're having issues putting a rom on your device it's possible through adb sideload with the AIO Toolkit

If you do a factory reset, you remove the Rom element so ideally as I previously mentioned flash a new Rom problem solved

Yeah you need to flash a custom rom - you've wiped system so it won't ever boot no matter how many times you try otherwise

Thanks mate can you be a little bit more specific as to how i can put a ROM on the phone as ive never heard of that AIO toolkit?
If you enter CWM recovery, theres an option called install zip from sideload. Press that and then plug it into your PC, and in CMD type
Code:
adb sideload <location of rom.zip on PC>
I use TWRP i assume that has the same adb sideload?
I am downloading Android Revolution now, so if i create a folder on C drive called c:\android then the ROM is the the img i flash when i open a command?

I presume, I've never used TWRP and yeah correct.
OK i am in ADB sideload now when i open a command and type adb sideload i do not know what else to type, i have saved both the boot img and the full zip file (Android Revolution) in the c:\android folder?
When you type adb devices does your phone show up? Have you installed the correct drivers

I am in an internet cafe too so i cant stay all day just another hour or so.
thanks
I am gonna have to leave it for now as its doing my head in, i wouldn be grateful if someone could post some specific instructions later and ill attempt it tomorrow, everything appears to be ok when i type cmd then
cd c:\android
adb sideload (what is thew exact name of the file i need to enter)
In the folder 'Android' which you cd'd to, is there adb.exe? And you dont use .img you link to the actual rom zip.

Buddy before anything else could you please put/attach/upload the flashable zip of the bootanimation you got from ROM toolbox?
It is better that we know first what partition it has overwritten so we could distinguish what we need to fix.
I understand that usually the system partition is the culprit but reading from the thread that is all pure guesses. It could be you overwritten a different partition that resulted to this.

[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.

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] stuck at bootloader!!

Did full wipe through custom recovery TWRP. which cost me to loose everything SDcard including my OS. Now i can't reboot nor i have custom rom.zip----how stupid
Tries:
1. Tried to ADB push custom rom but was not successful cause SDcard mount. tried to unmount but unusful.
2. so i decided to get the orignal firmware 1.29 (before i was 2.17)---please don't ask why
I used mike guide. it work----Thanks mike for the guide

Use twrp to sideload the rom. I think you go to Advance tab in TWRP and choose sideload rom and adb I think the command is "adb sideload <name of rom>".
I can't remember fully. I hope someonce can assist you and correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the replay.
The problem is i'm on stock recovery. I got it back after updating the firmware.
Now i'm relocked and stuck with the stock recovery.
I thinks first i need to unlock and then flash the custom recovery.
But how to do it while i'm in bootloader and with no OS in place!!
When you are in bootloader, click on Fastboot. After you are in Fastboot USB mode (it will show that on the screen), unlock the bootloader using this tutorial:
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-unlock-htc-one-bootloader-tutorial/
After you are done with that, you'll need to download TWRP 2.5.0 and place it inside your fastboot folder on your computer, and then open a command prompt window from there (shift + right click and open command prompt window here) and then execute this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Of course you replace recovery.img with whatever the name of your recovery is, in that case TWRP 2.5.0's zip file.

Now how i can get my OS back to business.
Do i need to flash the stock rom or any rom? and how can i flash it!!
So, i think is better flashing a ruu, like the stock european ruu and, via Revone tool, flash a recovery
You're s-offed, you don't need unlock your bootloader

i'm only a littlle android guy. i hardly manage to get my S-OFF.
would you be so kind to show me on how to do that:angel:
Depends on what you are looking for. Are you trying to revert your device to stock status so you can receive OTA updates? Because that would mean flashing a RUU and relocking the bootloader, as mentioned above. However if you aren't interested in OTA updates (which we don't know when will be available) then go for the easier route, a custom ROM which you flash via TWRP recovery. After you go into TWRP, go to Advanced and choose ADB sideload and then slide to start, then use your computer to adb sideload rom.zip (of course rom.zip will be replaced by whichever ROM you want to sideload).
This is to set up ADB:
http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
The proper drivers for your PC to recognize the device in ADB mode are obtained by installing HTC Sync Manager.

Ah okay. I am new to all of this so I don't have sufficient information, I was just sharing how I got to fix my device when I was in the same situation.
I used adb push zip file as below instruction:
C:\Android>adb devices
List of devices attached
FA35VW927790 recovery
C:\Android>adb push Android_Revolution_HD-One_9.4.zip /data/media/
3100 KB/s (1017950778 bytes in 320.621s)
C:\Android>adb reboot recovery
C:\Android>
I try to look for the zip file but did not find it?? any ideas
Still stuck at this point.
I tried to adb push it many times but still no success

The zip will be there somewhere, I command '/sdcard' instead of '/data/media'.
If you still can't find it just use
adb sideload Android_Revolution_HD-One_9.4.zip
Choose install zip from sideload in recovery and once it's finished transferring it will begin to install automatically so you won't have to look for the zip file

because you wiped your internal storage there is no file structure there, that's why you cant find the zip file.
You'll have to sideload your rom from twrp then boot up your phone which will create the needed directories.
1) update your android sdk. Sideload only works on certain versions of the sdk.
2) Place the rom you would like to flash in the same folder as fastboot and adb.( for you it looks like C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools
3) next from twrp under the advanced tab turn on adb sideload
4) issue the command adb sideload name of rom.zip
good luck

If you use /sdcard then it will work fine, I had the same issue
Victory at last :laugh:

TWRP recovery
1.Tried to adb push /sdcard succeeded on this but failed to flash!!
2. Tried to adb sideload failed.
3. Flashed another recovery CWM.
4. adb sideload file.zip...........success
I don't why TWRP recovery was not responding correctly.
Any way got my phone back to life. and hopefully my experience could help people who made the same foolish mistake!!
Thanks to everybody who contributed to this post.

Maybe you had an earlier version of TWRP which had incompatibility issues with ADB. Anyway I'm glad you got through it. I sure hate being stuck like that as well.

Need Help Unbrick My HTC One M7

My HTC One M7 is stuck at HTC logo and will not boot further. I've tried many methods, but cannot repair the phone. It's M7 Europe HTC_001 Firmware 1.29.401.13.
With bootloader unlocked I flash cwm recovery and tried to copy custom rom to flash but phone cannot mount usb storage. I tried to flash stock RUU 1.28.401.7, it won't flash because of hboot error. I tried to flash PN07IMG_1.29.401.13.zip using fastboot flash zip. firmware.;zip, with locked or unlocked bootloader, it won't flash, giving error.
Is there any full RUU 1.29.401.17 or RUU 2.17.401.1 firmware out there for download? I think that's my only solution is to get the same or higher full and not OTA firmware. Would it be possible to ADB push custom rom to phone if it can only power and stuck at logo? Or any other solution, please help, thanks.
There is far from enough info to help you

Thanks for your help but I've tried all that. First phone cannot "mount USB storage" in custom recovery so I cannot copy any file to the phone. Flashing stock RUU is not possible because there is no RUU 1.29.401.13.exe or higher, only OTA. Is it possible to downgrade hboot with s-on and in fastboot mode? Any other suggestion? Thanks.

Try ADB push/sideload: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325853&highlight=sideload
FIX
Hi, I was having the same problem, NOTHING was working, ADB Sideload failing, etc. and the OTG cable arrives tomorrow...my way to fix it?
1.- Went to TWRP Recovery
2.- Wipe>Advance Wipe> Wiped everything
3.- Format Data (option next to Advance Wipe)
4.- Reboot into Recovery(during reboot it said "your device is not rooted, want to root?) Marked yes.
5.- Advance Adb Sideload
6.- Sent CyanogenMod ROM...BANG! worked.
Hope this helps
I've tried to use adb push method but when I put phone to recovery (phone shows red triangle) and run command adb devices, it cannot see the device. Is it because of the drivers? I've installed all drivers and do not see any drivers error in device manager...I really appreciate all the helps from everyone and I spent so much time trying to fix this phone already and I feel I'm so closed now to fix it but just need little more help..Thanks..

Thanks for your tips and advice..After many hours of trying, my phone is NOW ALIVE. This is how I did it:
1)Find a custom rom from this forum and rename to rom.zip, of course if you use windows like me with .zip extension hidden then just simply rename it rom (to make it simple and short) and copy it to adb shell folder.
2)After unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery, find it in this forum or here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
3) Boot phone to recovery, and select Install zip from sideload and plug phone to PC. Wait until phone installs all adb drivers..
4) In adb shell type command: "adb devices" without quotes, of course..to make sure adb sees your phone..You should see your devices name.
5) In adb type commad" adb sideload rom.zip..at this point you should see "sending: sideload....1%..wait until it show 100%..some roms like the one I used, Android Revolution HD One 12 (4.2.2) need to install from the screen, just follow instruction on screen and let it finish installation and wola, it's alive again..
I hope this will help someone who have similar problem with this phone. Thanks for the help from everyone.

epic, thank you for the useful post

[SOLVED] E: Can't mount /cache/

I'm sorry to do this, but I don't know where to start. Here's what I did to get to where I'm at:
- previously running SlimBean flashed using TWRP
- Downloaded ROM Manager and it recommended installing CWM Recovery
- Followed prompts
- It installed CWM 6.0.4.8
- Booted back into ROM and used ROM Manager to attempt to flash SlimKat 4.4.2 build 6
- CWM wiped dalvik but then got hung up
- Now it keeps saying Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
I'm completely stuck. Can't figure out what to do next. Please help!!!
Have you tryed reflashing the recovery to rule out a faulty install of cwm?
I should say, have you tried reflashing cwm *through Fastboot* to rule out a faulty cwm install?
Use TWRP recovery, preferred is 2.6.3.3 although there are newer versions, enter recovery, wipe - format data, basically for some reason, fastboot erase cache wipes the cache into an un-readable format.
note: this will also erase your internal storage too, so if theres anything important you want on there, make sure you back it up first using the adb pull command.

I can't get it to recognize my devices in order to use ADB. When connected, I type ADB Devices and I don't see anything listed. Is there a way to check I'm doing this ok?
EDIT: Ok, I got it to recongize my device. I'm going to try flashing TWRP thru ADB....will report back shortly...

I can't quite risk doing this yet. Only as a last, last resort...

whilst your phone is in recovery and plugged into your computer, open device manager, is there a yellow ! where its says android devices or myHTC ?
IGNORE THIS, You got it working whilst I was typing this.

Use the command "fastboot devices" from the bootloader with "fastbootUSB" highlighted. You can't use adb commands in the bootloader because adb is to interact with android, which is not running while in bootloader. Let me know if you get output with the "fastboot devices" command.
EDIT: I should specify, if you are trying to flash recovery from anywhere but the bootloader using fastboot commands (it sounds like you may be trying to flash recovery with adb commands), you are just doing it wrong. so lets get that sorted first.

you flash a custom recovery with fastboot commands not adb commands.
Got it!!! Thank you everyone for taking the time. I have a flight in a few hours and I was panicking!!!!
I grabbed universal drivers from here: download.clockworkmod.[com]/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi (remove the brackets around .com)
Then my computer picked up the device and I was able to install TWRP. Clockworkmod recovery still doesn't work, no matter which version I tried. I'll stick with TWRP for now.
Thanks again!
EDIT: Well eff me, it wiped my internal storage. It must have done it after I flashed because that's where I grabbed the zip in the first place. That sucks...

did you format data inside twrp recovery, like I said above, that will erase your internal storage too, you will need to push a rom over to your internal storage now using adb and then flash it.

I didn't do so intentionally, but it's possible I did it without paying attention. I'm back to my system now so I'll just live with the loss. I flashed an existing ROM that I had in my Downloads folder once I was able to get into TWRP. It's just weird that folder is empty now.
