HTC one's OS wiped out and unable to mount storage. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all of you. i recently traded my iphone 5 for an unlocked tmobile htc one. when i got the phone i wanted to put the double tap to wake feature from the M8 on my M7 with the elementalx rom. but i failed and the phone got soft bricked. i deleted the backup and everything i had in my recovery mode, which is ClockWorlMod. i know nothing about android and i guess i wanted to play with it. in result i messed up my only phone. i have tried using my command prompt on my computer to push files into my phone. it is complicated and i always end up getting "error" and don't know what to do.
can anybody please help me get my phone back online?

yes i have tried that option on CWM, but the thing is that my device doesn't even show up on the computer when plugged in. btw the error code doesnt show up anymore, it just says "restarting in usb mode"

do you have adb drivers installed in your computer

My device won't connect to adb no matter what I do.. It just says adb is out of date killing server, and I have the most updated adb too. I have the correct drivers too

Im having this same issue, after trying to flash android revolution on my unlocked/rooted rogers One, it froze on the successfully installed part and I had to wait for it to die to try to restart it.
I cannot boot into recovery or connect it to my computer in any way, ./adb reboot bootloader doesnt work it says cannot find device.
When I vol down + power the bottom lights just blink and the phone does nothing.
Any idea on how I can reflash the phone?

I have this same problem as well. I also believe I have bricked my HTC One (ATT) and I tried to flash the stock boot.img but when connected to my computer, the phone is completely empty with no download folder, apps folder or anything like it was on stock. I'm on TWRP Recovery but how to I reinstall the boot.img and fix the phone and put it back into factory settings?

[Q] adb error: device not found

I am currently getting error: device not found
i am on a windows 7 64bit pc that has been formatted since the last time i installed a new rom
i am also using a usb-otg cable with a 7gb FAT32 thumb drive
after a complete wipe in recovery I cannot get my phone to recognize my usb-otg and after trying to do an adb sideload adb will not recognize the phone.
I need to either get usb-otg to work or adb to recognize my phone. I think my problem with ADB is a driver issue on the pc, I have tried various driver instillations from http://adbdriver.com/ , http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/ , and the driver download link in hasoon2000's AIO kit, as well as the xda guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799 .
however i am always left with M7wls under other devices in the device manager
I have also tried restarting the adb server and checking adb devices, but the phone never shows up
update: I was able to install cwm in fastboot usb hoping i would get the usb otg to work, but usb otg still will not mount
2nd update: the phone is now recognized as My HTC in fastboot and seems to work fine with fastboot commands and is now recognized as One in CWM still unable to sideload
I suspect my problem might be that i never had my phone connected while it had a rom installed so it never discovered it properly, instead it is trying to discover it as whatever the recovery says it is?
I am also still unable to get my usb otg to work CWM says "error mounting /external_sd!" if the usb otg would work my problems would be solved, can someone tell me how to prepare a thumb drive to work with usb otg in twrp or cwm

i was having the same problem what i did i uninstall the sync manager and drivers, rebooted my computer then redownloaded the sync manager let it install the htc drivers then connect the phone to pc let recognized the device and boom it was working for me.... hope that helps
that did change the phone name in the device manager about a minute long enough to sideload once, but when trying to sideload again the cmd said the server was out of date and closed, and looking at the device manager the name reverted back to M7WLS
do you have the sdk tools up to date on your pc?
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i have nothing installed besides the htc one drivers/sync and any fastboot or adb commands i do is through hasoon2000's toolkit which i have used in the past without any problems
i have now connected to and installed the drivers on 3 different computers and they all leave the phone as m7wls in the device manager unable to show up as an adb device
i also am still unable to get my 7gb fat32 thumbdrive to work as usb otg
M7wls driver
can anyone help? i am completely stuck with the phone all because i cant get the driver to recognize the phone properly
or is there anything i need to do to prepare the usb otg thumb drive to work in either cwm or twrp?

what root folder are you placing the zip file to sideload?
I believe it will not sideload because your rom zip isn't in the correct folder on your computer. With the sdk installed it would have to be in the platform-tools folder with hasoons toolkit I don't know.

How did you fix the recovery? I'm having the same issue you had but I'm using PhilZ Touch 5 recovery. This is why I hate HTC for not adding a SD card slot in this phone and its the last phone I will ever get that doesn't come with that option. If this were my EVO LTE I'd be up and running in minutes. Its been two days now and this damn iphone wannabe crap is making me sick. I regret this phone so much but you live and you learn. Anyway can you please help me figure this out for PhilZ Touch 5. I don't see how it wouldn't work any different than TWRP.
I use this video to help me but when I get to adb devices my phone isn't found.

[Q] HTC One: Think I've Fudged It :(

Hope this is in the right place.
I formatted my HTC1 like an idiot when I meant to wipe and am a little stuck.
ADB doesn't register on my PC so I can't sideload.
No installed ROM so I can't get into the system.
RUU flashes fail with a (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)
Rooted, S-On and I have custom recovery images... TWRP and CWM...
I've tried everything I can think of and everything google can think of...
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The only thing I can think of then is to find an RUU for your phone hopefully. ADB Push/Sideload normally works in your situation. Try a different cable, different USB port, different computer

And oh, OTG didn't work for me. I suggest you try a different machine.

do you have a windows computer?
you most likely just need to install some drivers and then ADB will work.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74163067/HTC ONE DRIVERS.zip
those are the windows drivers. unzip the folder. open device manager. see here http://i.imgur.com/9LeGRJI.png
right click the "htc one" > "update driver software" > "browse my computer" then select the folder where you extracted the zip to. it will automatically install the correct driver. do the same for "my HTC" or any other devices that appear in those two top-level menus.
Have been through multiple drivers, some of which apparently work but still cant find the device when i try to push or sideload.
Have just done a full wipe and am going to attempt starting again from scratch with TWRP and Revolution HD.
Just to clarify I have tried multiple ports and cables, even bought a new USB 3 card, I don't have access to another PC or Laptop.

Adb doesn't like usb 3, apparently.. Are you sure you're opening the cmd window from inside the adb/fastboot folder?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
sideload is working as I type... it seems flashing recovery as aposed(SP?) to just booting a recovery makes a world of difference, will let you know if the install works. usb3 doesn't seem to be an issue though.
Hussah! It works! Thankyou all for you suggestions and input it has been greatly appreciated!
To flash with adb you need to boot ur phone in recovery mode, not in the bootloader... Took me a while to understand that

[Q] Cannot push file to phone -- stuck in recovery/bootloader - Help Please [SOLVED]

Ok, so, I made a bonehead move and flashed a rom that wasn't for the sprint htc one.
was able to get recovery back on the phone by using the command line.
I installed the android sdk and put google usb on there, reinstalled htc sync for those drivers too, still my pc doesnt see the phone, but my phone does show fastboot usb, and I can fastboot reboot the phone. When I goto adb push the zip file, it says error: device not found -- same thing if i try to sideload.
I have the rom, I just cant get it on the phone
fastboot commands work...is there a way to push a file using that (like I did with the twrp file)?
or another way?
thanks!!

you can't use fastboot to push the file.

If fastboot is working, then so should adb in recovery. Can't really understand why it's not, are you sure you have the correct recovery? maybe check the Sprint forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one

I have twrp 2.6.3.0 touch recovery, which appears to be the right one. Its like the phone recognizes that it's connected, but the pc doesnt (tried my mac too)...except that when I go into command line, fastboot commands work fine -- so the pc must see it...and when I plug the phone in, htc sync launches, but then says no device is connected -- so it recognizes the phone enough to launch, but then nada.
i've uninstalled drivers and reinstalled them and they install fine. this sucks

do you actually use sync manager? i recommend uninstalling HTC Sync Manager, just keep HTC Drivers.
as far as i know, there are GSM and Sprint variants of TWRP, so you have the Sprint one right?
and remember, fastboot will only work in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and adb will only work in a ROM or RECOVERY, it will not work in bootloader.
i reflashed recovery with one that is for sure for sprint...now adb pushing the file...i think its working.
will report back when i know for sure

[Q] Stuck in boot loop

Hi,
So I haven't been able to use my phone because I've been stuck looping into TWRP. From there I can install ROMs and go into the bootloader but out of the 2 ROMs I have, Cyanogen won't install and the stock ROM sends me in this loop. I tried side loading using ADB but for some reason when I search for devices on my computer (W7) nothing shows up even though M7WLS shows up in my USB devices. Is there away I can access my phones internal storage to put another ROM in? Or is there something else I can do to fix this? I tried using my back up but that still keeps me in the loop. My phone is unlocked but S-On still and prior to today I was using ViperOne. Thanks! Let me know if I'm missing any information.

You could try to adb push a rom to your device while booted to twrp.

Sounds like maybe your drivers are not installed correctly try this.
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good
