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

Hello again I'm glad I found you on find myself with almost the same exact issue as before, this time I've accidentally deleted my OS but I can boot to bootloader and my twrp although my device HTC m7 isn't recognised by my computer or when I try an adb push to the device. I have android sdk installed and the HTC sync manager and the drivers are installed but when I plug device says drivers are Not installed?

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

I'm in a boot loop, ADB not working

Hello everyone,
Sorry I'm kind of a noob (obviously since I messed up my phone!). I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, and rooted my phone. Stupidly, I flashed a stock 4.4 rom without doing S-OFF and am in a boot loop now. I was going to flash another ROM but can't get one on my phone. I tried to use TWRP to mount my SD card but, it couldn't mount my SD card. When I tried ADB it says no devices found. I've updated HTC Sync manager and the Android SDK manager but it still hasn't worked! Can you guys give me some help!?

What OS do you have on your computer?when you go to TWRP on your phone and type Adb devices in a command prompt does it no devices found?

Ok I feel a bit stupid... so i noticed on the device manager that the phone wasn't "installed properly". Updating automatically didn't work so I did a manual update and seemed to work. I installed Android Revolution HD 31.6 but now I'm stuck on the htc one boot screen.
I'm on Windows 8.1 and it said "device not found" previously

could you post the output of fastboot getvar all (without IMEI/sn) when in bootloader/fastboot usb mode plz? Also are you using twrp 2.6.3.3?

Can you do a factory reset in twrp and try again?

I reinstalled the ROM and everything is working now! Can't believe I spent 4hrs on this and then once I post a thread I figure it out! Thanks for the help though!

[Q] PC won't find this messed up phone

Okay, so this is the status quo of my friends phone: HTC One M7 UL, S-On, HBOOT-1.55, TAMPERED, UNLOCKED
There is no OS instelled, I can only boot into recovery (while booting from the bootloader it starts Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.0.1, when I boot from the phone being off it opens ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.6) or bootloader. The internal storage is wiped. My PC is not able to install the device driver software, so I cannot put any files on the phone via USB cable. Also it appears to not be rooted, as the recoveries ask me if I want to install SuperSU. But if I accept this, nothing changes and the next time I get the same question.
All in all almost erverything on this phone is deleted and I have no idea how to put a ROM back on it to flash. Can anyone help me fix this?
Update: Trying out the USB-OTG-cable I get the error "E: Can't mount /storage/usbdisk"

What errors do you have when installing drivers (adb) on your PC?

[Q] HTC One, tampered, unlocked, S-ON, no OS, device not foun on laptop. Cluster****.

Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.

Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

don't take any updates to the OS

cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!
Really, thanks so much clsA! You made me a very happy person! :victory:

[Q] Deleted OS and can't install new ROM

Hi, I'll jump right into my issue, as in 3 hours of research I haven't found explanation on internet about my problem :crying:
I need to:
- Install a ROM on my HTC One (international)
I have done this:
- Installed driver in PC
- Unlocked, rooted, tampered
- Installed TWRP
- Wiped everything on the phone (stupidly) including OS, so I have only access to Bootloader and Recovery now
- Somehow the device is now S-ON, I'm not sure if it reverted by itself from S-OFF?
I have tried and doesn't work:
1. Mounting through recovery as MTP to add my ROM zip -> Cannot Copy, Its file size is larger than device limit
2. TWRP option "ADB Sideload" stuck at the screen "Starting ADB sideload feature..." infinitely
3. When running ADB Devices -> under "List of devices attached" is empty
As I've learned all of this just recently, I have incomplete knowledge about the entire process so please treat me like an idiot that I am. Thanks a lot!

About the s-on / s-off thing. If your phone is s-on then it probably always was. There is only one way to go to s-off to s-on and it requires a very specific fastboot command.

You could also just grab a USB OTG cable. It's a really short (like, 2 inch long) cable that plugs into the micro-USB port on the phone and has a normal female USB port at the other end. With one of these, you could just copy the ROMs ZIP file onto a thumb drive and flash the ROM from recovery. I know TWRP supports OTG as this is the only way I install my ROMs and do my nandroid backups. It's totally worth the $3!

OK bro what's your TWRP version? Because for some reason MTP and Sideload both didn't work for me on the newer versions but sideload worked great on 2.6.3.3

use adb push, sideload, or USB-OTG as mentioned in the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
(it also mentions the driver problem)
PS: I also need to update that post, 2.8 series of twrp works fine for most ROMs, if you do get problems (such as with ARHD) then roll back to 2.6.3.3

Well it sounds like you just need to repair your drivers and push a Rom to the phone. What Windows version are you running on your pc?

Ok thanks, will do the driver repair now, however the HTC Sync has been working fine up until I screwed things up, still need to repair? I'm using Win 8.1 for this.

You could also just grab a USB OTG cable. It's a really short (like, 2 inch long) cable that plugs into the micro-USB port on the phone and has a normal female USB port at the other end. With one of these, you could just copy the ROMs ZIP file onto a thumb drive and flash the ROM from recovery. I know TWRP supports OTG as this is the only way I install my ROMs and do my nandroid backups. It's totally worth the $3!

Yes! I've got an OTG but doesn't seem to be working - either it's already broken or I don't know how Pls explain how to access OTG from TWRP if I've already placed my ROM .zip to USB?

OK bro what's your TWRP version? Because for some reason MTP and Sideload both didn't work for me on the newer versions but sideload worked great on 2.6.3.3

It's a new TWRP 2.8.0.2. I've just updated it last week or so. Everytime I restart the device from recovery, it keeps saying this device is unrooted and asks if I want to root even though I've done it on every previous restarts.

Yep, I've tried all that as described in my first post (except the OTG which doesn't work), or do you mean something else?
----------------
Update:
If I boot in recovery and mount MTP, my "ADB Devices" command will recognize the phone, how do I take it from here?

I do recommend changing to TWRP 2.6.3.3 untill your up and running. Just because it's the most stable version right now.
If adb is detecting your device while in recovery that's good. You can just push your Rom. Rename your Rom file to rom.zip and bit it in your fastboot folder.
Boot your phone to recovery. And connect usb. (you don't need MTP for this) just on the TWRP home screen is fine. In the adb command line type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. Once it's done install the Rom with twrp.
Or to use your OTG first you must mount it in the Mounts options. Then you can access it with the TWRP file manager, or by selecting install then changing the working directory. At the top of the install options Select where it says Internal Storage and change it to OTG.

Ok, I will install TWRP 2.6.3.3 instead. My OTG cable is busted so that's out for now.
Also this method worked. When I pushed the ROM it was unresponsive, I had to wait for about 7 minutes until it finished.
So I've finished installing Android Revolution HD 81.0 as normal, throws me back to TWRP, but when rebooting to system it says "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" And sure enough, it's stuck at HTC One welcome screen for over 10 minutes.
Seems like there's progress, you've helped a lot but still can't drill it to the end

Mmm! That's strange should install fine with 2.6.3.3. Did you notice any errors during install. Specifically "set_medata_recursive - some changes failed"
Check the md5 of your ARHD download also. You can get a free tool from www.winmd5.com to do that. If the md5 is correct and you see no errors during install.
You can try formatting data in TWRP this will however completely wipe the entire device. Including internal storage. So you will need to push the Rom again.
Also bare in mind it can take up to 15 to 20 mins to pass the HTC logo screen after a clean install. But seeing the No OS installed message is not normal

Yes! That did happen at the end of my installation. Should I be worried about that?
I'm not familiar with md5 - downloaded and installed it, but clueless about how to use this thing.
The installation was done in previous TWRP, I'm flashing 2.6.3.3 now and will try install ROM again.

Set meta data recursive means you've used the wrong recovery to install the Rom.
Just flash it with 2.6.3.3 you'll have no problems
EDIT :- for the record MD5 checking should always be done before flashing files to your phone to avoid flashing a corrupt zip or img. MD5 checksum values are normally posted with the download. This is the correct md5 for ARHD 81.
Code:
[SIZE="6"]Android Revolution HD 81.0[/SIZE]
[SIZE="2"]--- [I]MD5 Checksum: 9985BFD22A695AEA7A43BC7E0EB42DBC[/I] ---[/SIZE]
paste the long code into the appropriate box in the checker tool and drag and drop the file on the tool then click verify. It will tell you if they match. If they don't match get a new download

Hi, I'll jump right into my issue, as in 3 hours of research I haven't found explanation on internet about my problem :crying:
I need to:
- Install a ROM on my HTC One (international)
I have done this:
- Installed driver in PC
- Unlocked, rooted, tampered
- Installed TWRP
- Wiped everything on the phone (stupidly) including OS, so I have only access to Bootloader and Recovery now
- Somehow the device is now S-ON, I'm not sure if it reverted by itself from S-OFF?
I have tried and doesn't work:
1. Mounting through recovery as MTP to add my ROM zip -> Cannot Copy, Its file size is larger than device limit
2. TWRP option "ADB Sideload" stuck at the screen "Starting ADB sideload feature..." infinitely
3. When running ADB Devices -> under "List of devices attached" is empty
As I've learned all of this just recently, I have incomplete knowledge about the entire process so please treat me like an idiot that I am. Thanks a lot!
