[Q] HELP!!! My phone got Soft-Bricked! HTC One - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was trying to install AICP on my HTC one and I didn't made a backup of my previous rom (Paranoid Android). I thought that there won't be any problem. So then i wiped dalvik cache and cache partition and also my /sdcard/. And by fault, i also wiped /system. I was using CWM before and then i tried to sideload the rom files and Gapps using adb sideload but it failed. I even tried to flash Cyanogenmod-10 and the previous ParanoidAndroid rom files but it kept aborting the installation. I also pushed(adb push) the files into /sdcard dir and tried to flash them but it failed too. So then, i thought to replace the recovery and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3. And then the same thing happens. INSTALLATION FAILS!
Please HELP me guys.
Thanks, And my sister has another HTC One. The same model. But she won't allow me to root her phone. So if there is any way to copy her One's rom without rooting or flashing AfterMarket recovery. Please tell me..
Thanks Again !

[Q] No OS installed

I had installed CM10 on my optimus 2x but I had a problem with the rom so I tried to flash another rom.
By mistake I wiped data, davlik-cache and everything else. So I don't have a backup. When I try to install another rom through TWRP is says that it failed and afterwards it says No OS installed, Are you sure you want to reboot?
Please I only want to return to the original stock rom and upgrade from that to ICS. I found the guide on how to update to ICS so all I'm asking for is how to get out of this No OS installed trouble.
I appreciate alll effort.

Hi Mate dont panic it´s easy to fix have u try any Nflash procedure yet ?
Try Stefans V28G via nflash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986097
Direct link: http://d-h.st/PNj
Installation NVFlash version (under Windows): (internal SD will be wiped, /data partiton can be saved and restored with 2nd generation builds)
download the ROM, unpack it with WinRar, 7Zip or similar to any folder you want
take battery out of phone, press VOL + AND VOL - simulataneously, and while doing this plug the phone via USB to your PC
screen of phone remains black, this is normal, but you should hear a sound that you plugged the device. Probably you have to install APX drivers at this point if you are asked. They are included in the latest NVFlash builds. Tutorial on driver installation: http://www.modaco.com/topic/335416-n...-links-active/
assuming that you already installed APX drivers: run the "flash_windows.bat" file in the folder where you extracted the ROM
follow the instructions
That's already it Usually no complications to be feared. Enjoy!

You can connect phone to pc and copy a cm10, don't reboot phone, you must mount mass USB storage. Copy and flash: )

Will try it out
Thanks Domfis and Creison, I will try it out and see what happens. I hope it works :fingers-crossed: out cause I really do not wish to change my phone now that official ICS is out. If I manage to do this I will wait till summer to change my phone. Currently using my old nokia 3310

i suppose you're on the old bootloader? then just use AIO Toolkit ->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
Use Option 4, then you'll get the new bootloader and CWM installed. Afterwards just flash a ICS Rom or CM10(ICS BL) via CWM!

Since data is lost anyway, try running AIO toolkit to reflash the bootloader which also fixes recovery and partitions.

[q] help needed

Hi, I kinda messed up.
I have the international variant of the HTC One, and I flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 (stabe) after rooting it. After that, I switched to the Google Play Edition ROM, and then tried to flash Cyanogenmod 10.2 over that. I backed up, wiped data, cache etc, and tried flashing CM10.2, but it failed. So I wiped data again and accidentally erased internal storage too.
Now my phone is stuck at the HTC boot logo, and I can't do much with it but access recovery, but I have nothing to flash over it. Please help.
Elemental X 6.0 htc one

What recovery are you using as you can sideload through adb allowing you to push roms.
The options is normally found under advanced.
To push use the following command. adb push romname.zip /filelocationonphonehere/
Hope this helps

[Q] One "bricked" after installing OneDroid with CM11

Heyho,
so i make it short and i hope you can help me.
I had a long time InsertCoin on my One.
I want to change it and search for Cyanogenmod. On my HTC DHD it works great. But that's only 7.3 or so.
Sure, i want to have the new CM 11 with KitKat. On InsertCoin i had KitKat too but there weren't the KitKat Features like klicking on KitKat System info to open an animation.
I search and find OneDroid Here in xda-developers
So download and copied to my internal storage.
Let's go to the Recovery. ( Before that. i had backed up my device with TWRP and Titanium Backup and copied the data files to my PC for recovering)
So i click install, choose the Rom. its start, doesn't find an MD5 File (IDK what that is but in insertCoin it wasn't there too and it works) after some minutes it says sucessfull installed. It restart.
The restart takes up to 10 minutes. And Yeah! What i see? The Lockscreen... For 1 second. Then i got very very very very lot messages of: process.com.phone has stopped or else. The CyanogeMod Account Programm stopped too.
I cant click anything - nothing possible. so i turn off and tryed to install my Backup but that was on my PC and one OneDroid Crashes the PC Driver wont be loaded.
I tried to get the OneDroid Rom over adb sideload to install (maybe the Zip on my phone was broken??) but the same. Crashes about crashes.
At the moment i try to install InsertCoin over ADB Sideload. First Try failed. he stand by 0 for over 10 minutes.
After that i will load my Backup to my internal Storage and run that.
I hope it works!!!!
ok... doesnt work... Mod edit removed suggestion of swear word.
Can you help me???
Note to OP,
I have moved your thread into the Q&A section. Also I have edited your post and removed the suggestion of the swear word. Just to let you know swearing is not allowed on XDA,
Many thanks,

Did you forget to wipe data and system (NOT SD CARD) before installing the ROM?

do you mean on my rom which i got with the Sideload?
BEFORE you sideload or install a new ROM..
with OneDroid if you don't do a clean install (wipe before install) cyanogenmod account will crash every time and make the phone unusable. make sure to wipe first also when reflashing onedroid after using for a little while if phone disappears and doesn't work properly flash a stock gpe rom and then reflash onedroid on it to fix.
No I have clicked wipe cache and system
Thx. Marcmicalizzi - but that not solve my problem. I thought it will ask me whether I want to perform a full wipe, therefor I was a bit wondered that I haven't any preferences which I can change in the installation
So I found the solution and have a next question.
At first the solution for the "experienced users" and as second the faster and easier solution. Both work!
So if your Device crashed all the time because you didn't perform a full wipe, hopefully you have installed your programs for rooting your one. With that you can sideload a Rom and install it. Click at the aroma installation perform a full wipe!!!
If you want to do it very very easier and you don't have so much skills and experience in adb via commands you can install the all in one rootkit for the HTC one. Left down, there is a list. The first entry is the command for sideload a Rom. Click on it and follow the tips on the screen. On TWRP you start the sideload mode in the recovery under advance/sideload.
So you can fix your phone
WARNING!! Very important is (by me it hasn't work without it) if you start the sideload mode on your phone, don't check wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
It hasn't began the installation.
Tomorrow I can upload some pictures and links
So I'm back to InsertCoin.
One question. Before I want to switch to onedroid, I did an Rom backup. I want to restore it but it stopped and didn't go further...
After 20minutes I break that up and install the Rom clear.
Are I'm allowed to copie the backup to my PC and later again back to my one? I gave it a new name but renamed on my phone the old name.
Is that one of the reasons that it didn't work correctly?
Thx.
Best regards Sharin

[Q] Did CM installer brick my phone?

Soft brick after CM installer
Hi guys, I could really need some help here. I tried the Cyanogenmod installer and everything went fine, except my phone was stuck in
bootscreen for too long time (never booted).
In CWM recovery I did a factory reset/wipe, reboot, but to no avail; still stucked on CM bootscreen.
I then tried to flash CM11 by recovery sideloader. This goes to 100% and recovery says "Installing update", but nothing happens.
Is it supposed to install and finally reboot by itself, or should I do something?
I tried to installed zip from SD-card, but got "E:Can't mount /sdcard". I guess that means that I can't push the .zip over ADB to /sdcard
either.
What else can I try?
Edit: I wiped /data and then I could suddenly push the .zip to /data/media and the, finally flash the .zip from sdcard!
Why on earth the installer didn't wipe everything from the beginning, I don't get...
Did I miss anything obvious about the wiping thing?
A factory reset should do the trick normally. But if you ever get a message that you can't mount something you have to wipe that partition in recovery. I haven't used CWM in a long time. I prefer twrp as a recovery these days

Thanks, I'll remember that, should it ever happen again. What's the benefit for TWRP over CWM?
in Htc One i always had this problem.
I'm pretty sure you will never be able to mount SD
but its not a big problem since you can still sidepush the zip file.
and to be honest there is not much difference between TWRP and CWM . its a matter of preference.
On my Htc one i always used TWRP but on other android devices for some reason i sticked with CWM.

Unfortunately, I was not able to sideload the image, the transfer went well, the phone said "Installing update" but nothing happened!

Post 2 implies op was able to flash the zip successfully after wiping /data.
Correct, and I could probably also have sideloaded after wiping /data...

[Q] Flash recovery / ROM from older TWRP ?

Hi guys,
complete noob mistake :angel:
I hit the wrong button in TWRP (v.2.3.3.0) and wiped the system off my i9305, now I want to install AOSB (or any ROM for that matter!)
The AOSB install fails with a Status 7 "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"
I've unzipped the ROM and deleted the lines at the start where it checks the device type just in case, but that hasn't fixed it.
I'm getting the same error with two different CM11 builds for the i9305 too.
I read somewhere that its a problem with TWRP, so I downloaded TWRP 2.6.3.1 Flashable, and I've been trying to flash that.
It says the install was successful, then I wipe cache & dalvic, power off, and start to recovery, but it goes into the older 2.3.3.0 recovery.
I can't use Odin because the USB port is broken...I've tried replacing it with a soldering iron without success (Don't have a reflow gun...yet)
Is there any way I can update / fix TWRP by using it to flash a new recovery over itself? Ideally I'd like the newest CWM, as that is apparently needed to flash AOSB but once i get any functional rom on it at all I was planning on installing CWM from the system and flashing AOSB then.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :good:
Bump
Can anyone shed any light on this?
