[Q] HTC One Frozen And No OS! Help! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a question I hope someone could help me with. Ive searched forums videos, cant seem to find out what to do and possibly hope my phone is not bricked. I wanted to root my htc one and followed the procedures to unlock the bootloader install twrp and then install superuser. Everything seemed fine till I accidentally erased evewrything in TWRP including the OS. Now the bootloader shows no os and running an RUU gives me an unknown error or wrong version error. I do have s on and cant seem to get that off either for the RUU to work. I am familiar wih fastboot but not adb and am completelt stumped on what to do right now. Can anyone of you smart techs help me get this issue resolved. Thanks for reading.

You can't use this RUU because its a downgrade. Downgrading require S-OFF. You will need to flash a custom rom or s-off your phone to be able to use this ruu,

You don't have to extract the zip file, just make sure it is in the fasatboot folder.
You don't flash a rom using fastboot!!! You must use a custom recovery i.e TWRP.
Boot your phone in recovery mode then
Code:
adb push <name_of_rom>.zip /sdcard/
then in recovery select ''install'' browse the sdcard and find your rom.zip. select it and swipe to install.

Your are using sideload the wrong way!
Code:
adb sideload kitkat.zip
NOT
Code:
adb sideload [COLOR="red"]KITKAT[/COLOR].zip [COLOR="red"]/sdcard/[/COLOR]
your file name is kitkat.zip so why do you type KITKAT.zip in the command prompt !?! You don't have to type /sdcard/ with sideload, only if you decide to use adb push !!
Code:
adb push kitkat.zip /sdcard/
So again use either adb sideload or adb push, not a combination of both!
ADB SIDELOAD:
boot your phone in twrp recovery, select ''Advanced'' --> ''ADB Sideload'' --> Swipe to sideload
then when your phone is in sideload mode open your command prompt and type:
Code:
adb sideload kitkat.zip
Wait until the transfer is complete, then reboot your recovery and install the rom.
or:
ADB PUSH:
boot your phone in twrp recovery (main menu)
open the command prompt and type:
Code:
adb push kitkat.zip /sdcard/
then choose "install'' and browse your sdcard to find ''kitkat''.zip. Select the file and swipe to install.
EDIT:
And why is adb inside a rom folder? Where is fastboot? You obviously don't know how to use fastboot and adb which is the base.
You really have to make some reading, you don't understand what you are doing. Stop and take some time to read this:
Read this to understand ADB and FASTBOOT
Read this for adb push and adb sideload instructions

ADB sideload is Failed :crying::crying::crying:
but can use adb fastboot
help me please
I am kinda trying to figure out the same issue, I will post a reply in here if I get it working. I think from what I have read you might need to relock your device and flash an appropriate RUU in fastboot usb using the apropriate adb commands. I am a newbie though and still learning the android architecture so I would wait for someone more qualified to respond. If I get my device back to a stable ROM I will update you on the steps I took!
adb push?
Yep like he said. In recovery adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/

"adb sideload", while convenient, is less reliable than the old-fashioned method of pushing to /sdcard and using TWRP to install it. For this to work:
- TWRP must be installed (2.6.3.3 or newer).
- If not installed, make sure the bootloader is unlocked and install it with "fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img", then clear cache just to be safe.
- Boot to TWRP through the bootloader using volume/power buttons (look for instructions online)
- Use "adb devices" to make sure ADB is working and detecting the phone
- Use "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"
- If the push fails, make sure you are typing the correct path/filename to the ROM zip you want to install.
- If the push fails with an error about can't write or "no such file or directory", your data partition may be corrupted or not mounted (or maybe even out of space). You can solve this within TWRP. The most drastic (and most effective) solution is to format userdata, but you'll lose everything on the phone. There are other ways to solve this, but it's a case-by-case thing.
- If you try something to fix the "push" and want to try again, make sure /data and /sdcard are mounted (in the TWRP mounts section).
- After "push", you should check the md5sum of the file to make sure it hasn't been corrupted (check to see that it agrees with the md5sum on the download page). If there is no md5sum on the download page, ask in a forum.
- The command to check the md5sum for ALL zip files on /sdcard (because this is accident-proof) is:
Code:
adb shell "md5sum /sdcard/*.zip"
- Then you can "install" the normal way, using TWRP, without sideload.
Depending on which step fails, there are different things to try to fix the problem. If something fails, please provide ALL details of what you did, and all details about the error (write down the exact error message). If the error is in your TWRP usage, get the "recovery.log" file, which you can copy to the computer with
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the ROM that most people seem to use (also the one that looks the most like the stock ROM) is Android Revolution HD. Note that there's a bug in the installer: if you don't have the newest firmware, you should choose "Wipe Data" when the Aroma Installer asks whether you want to wipe data. For some reason this is not the same as a factory reset in the TWRP menus.

You can use fastboot to wipe all those partitions. Fastboot erase system.....cache...etc. then format those ones in twrp

Problem: bootloop / adb can't read device / can't install new rom

SOLVED - Please a Mod can change the title?
Hi to everyone and thanks in advance.
I tried to install Revolution Rom but after the last reboot, the ONE begin to loop on boot page.
I've read different thread and tried different solution, after all i've done i'm still blocked with these informations:
- One doesn't load the rom: i'm still blocked on the initial white screen
- I can access to BOOTLOADER and i can use the prompt with all "fastboot" command, but everytime i try to flash a zip, it return FAILED (remote: not allowed)
- adb doesn't read my device! I've tried different solution but still no device when i write "adb device" : i tried kill-server
- The only recover that works is CWM without touch, the other one block the phone on a black loop page
- htcdev/bootloader process correctly done
- i'm not able to access on One as Storage so i can't upload any file inside phone memory

Just to have a working phone, doesn't matter the rom/versione
Thanks in advance,
First of all, remove your imei and serial number from your post, it's very dangerous to post it.
Second, only fastboot commands work in the boot loader, adb is for android and recovery, that's why your adb command of adb devices isn't working, try fastboot devices instead.
Last but not least, the Rom zip must be flashed from within recovery by selecting install, sounds to me like your trying to install it through fastboot flashing.
Have your tried flashing twrp or only cwm

Thanks for the reply:
- Ok i tried adb commands while One was in recovery. No response (List of device attached ---> nothing)
- Fastboot devices works while i'm in boot loader
- I can't flash rom from recovery because my One is empty --> I don't know how to move a Rom inside because i can't access to phone cause of the booloop problem
I would first start by flashing twrp recovery through fastboot command in the boot loader, get it from the twrp site, Google is your friend.
Next update your adb and fastboot, search this site for mini-sdk I don't have the links handy at the moment.
Then enter recovery, plug your phone in, put Rom.zip in the same folder as fastboot and adb on your computer then open a command Windows there, and type, adb push (Rom name).zip /sdcard/ then wait a while, it takes ages. You will know when it is done from the command prompt on your computer, then unplug your phone and install it from recovery.
Just one question, May sound stupid, but is your bootloader unlocked ?

Sounds like you just need to push and install a Rom. Which version of Team Win Recovery (TWRP) is installed?

The answer to your question is contained in this post
Download both these files
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=One_6.09.401.12_deodexed.zip
Put both files inside your fastboot folder.
Rename twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img to recovery.img
Rename One_6.09.401.12_deodexed.zip to rom.zip
Connect fastboot usb in the bootloader and flash the recovery with these commands
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Select recovery from the bootloader menu to boot to TWRP recovery. Select "Wipe" from the TWRP menu and then "Format Data" you will be prompted to type yes to confirm. When its done go back to the TWRP home screen and select "Reboot" then "Reboot Recovery" TWRP will ask if you want to root the device at this point say no.
Once your back in recovery we need to push the rom.zip to the phone. In the command window type
Code:
adb devices
You should get an output showing your devices serial number. This confirms adb is working. If you don't get the serial number output check in device manager on your pc that the drivers have installed correctly. Otherwise continue to push the rom with
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes (Sevral Minutes) When it's done select "Install" from the TWRP home screen and choose the rom.zip, Swipe the pull bar to confirm. The Aroma Installer will start and guide you through the rom install, When it's done Reboot the device. Again TWRP will ask if you want to root the device at this point it's your decision but now you have a rom installed you can root if you want to. That's it let me know how you get on :good:

ok i think i have a problem, i runned the install rom, on the top of the twrp it says ZIp Install complete, but below the command line window it says failed, e:Unable to mount '/cache. is this is normal?

Yes, This is because we used fastboot erase cache. Fastboot formats differently to recovery. After you boot the rom the cache partition will be formatted correctly for recovery and Android

so umh, what now ?

Phone won't open after format through TWRP..

So, a couple of months ago I deleted videos and wanted to get them back, so I searched a bit and installed TWRP. Anyway, the videos were lost, could not recover anything, so installing TWRP was of no use to me.
I checked last week for updates and found out I have the latest Lollipop update available, so tried to download and install and I couldn't, because of TWRP..
Next thing was to try and uninstall it from the phone, but getting lost inside multiple internet pages, I reached a bad moment and formatted data.. my mistake.
After this my phone won't boot into the system, it always opens me in recovery mode and Team Win menu.
I tried to make my Macbook recognise it as adb device, but it will not do it, whatever I do on terminal with instructions I found again in various pages on the internet..
Now: what I should do? I am desperate, as I don't have a phone and would love to get it back working soon enough.
Any ideas??? Thanks in advance, Kosm.

I cannot do this on my Mac, do I certainly need a windows computer?

Hello, I also found a windows machine to try, but it makes no difference to trying on my mac.. thing is, I dont think I enabled usg debugging, before I come into this problem, so now that I cannot enter my phone, it doesn't get recognised as a phone anywhere.. it only sees it as D:, where I cannot do nothing..
Can I activate usb debugging from inside TWRP somewhere?
Thanks for supporting my noob questions with such patience!!

You don't need usb debugging. usb debugging is only needed to use ADB commands when the phone is booted in the OS. You can use FASTBOOT commands from the bootloader and ADB commands from custom recovery both without USB Debugging.
What version of windows is your computer running?
What is your phone hboot version? (you can see when booted in bootloader)
When your phone is booted in bootloader mode/fastboot usb, go in windows device manager. The phone should be listed there if its detected. Is you phone in the list? Does it says "Android USB devices --> My HTC" ?
1. windows 8.1
2. 1.57.0000
3. Yes, it finds it, only when I boot into HBOOT/fastboot USB. If I let it open as it does alone at TWRp, it doesn't find it.

So whats the problem with "fastboot getvar all" ?
Boot your phone in bootloader/fastboot usb mode (hold power and volume down until it reboots to the bootloader or from twrp recovery select "reboot" --> "Bootloader") and then open your command prompt form your adb/fasboot folder on your computer:
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Thank you for the quick reply. I am downloading the files now. How can I save this rom to the root of my phone storage? HTC sync manager doesn't see my phone.. :/
edit: This way?
adb push [source] [destination]
Function: Copy files from your computer to your phone.
The push command allows you to copy files from your computer to your phone without touching your device. This is particularly handy for copying large files from your computer to your phone like movies or ROMs. In order to use this command, you'll need to know the full file path for both your source and destination. If the file you want to copy is already in your tools folder (where ADB lives), you can simply enter the name of the file as the source.

Get rid of HTC sync, it can cause issue when using adb and fastboot. Uninstall it (but don't uninstall the drivers).
Then you can use adb push like you said:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
Command prompt will be unresponsive for like 5-10 minutes, its normal.
Or if you have twrp 2.8.4.0+ you will see your phone like a storage device on your computer when booted in recovery so you just need to drag and drop the file to your storage.

Your phone drivers are not installed correctly. When booted in twrp recovery go in windows device manager again. Is the device listed or its a " ! " logo? If yes then install the drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/msfud4uem3gew2d/HTC-Mobile-Driver_v4.14.0.001.exe
You might want to update your twrp as well, will be easier to deal with the rom.
you can find twrp 2.8.5.0 here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
save it in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot installed. Reboot your phone in bootloader mode / fastboot usb
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then enter in recovery mode, you should see your phone when going to "My computer" --> "One". Copy the rom to "My Computer\One\Internal Storage"
then in twrp select "install" and then choose the rom and swipe to install.

I ran the drivers installer, told me they exist, so did a repair.
Later, I was able to run the command and write the TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery properly.
I restarted the phone to enter recovery mode, but it gets stuck forever in the first white page, saying Entering recovery..., the HTC logo and the message 'this build is for development purposes...blah blah'. I did all as you said.

the easiest way its do make a folder in the root. ei: htc, and move everything inside.
now in cmd navigate to that folder.
C:/htc
enter command.
might be worth to download unlock code again but this is usually a path error.

i have rooted now and am trying to s-off so i used rumrunner but its giving strange messages
hmm, cap is on tighter than I expected........
hell, that damn cap is on REALLY tight.......
unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2 options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner (preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix this issue for you!!!.
Better luck next time!!!!bye
Press ENTER to exit
what do i do now and where do i get this file from?

not sure what you trying to do anymore as you are replying to your own msg.
best way too root its to flash super user yourself.
as for S-OFF i think sunshine its the only option, but not sure anymore.

i am trying to take S-OFF
so i thought by flashing with a older flash will fix it
i have downloaded a rom and tried to flash using
fastboot flash boot boot-signed.img
it took less then 2 seconds to complete
phone rebooted but stuck on HTC
i have tried volume down and power but its not doing anything
i think i have only flashed boot and not the rest of the files
please can u advise how to unbrick this ,
phone has twrp recovery but i cant get into recovery.
thanks

ok. you only need S-OFF if you trying to put a different firmware. For ROM's you dont need it.
you need to flash TWRP again as the boot.img deleted it and because you dont have a ROM its stuck in a loop.
any ROM will have over 300-500 MB. Be sure you use a tested compatible one.

try this
remove USB cable
Turn off your device
Then, press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
Once the screen goes black, release the power key but keep pressing the volume down button.
Release the Volume down key only when fastboot mode is being displayed.
