Since you have TWRP, just side load the rom

Sideload places the file to be flashed in the root of the /sdcard so if his recovery won't mount it then I doubt sideload will work.

What did you do to get your recovery to stop mounting? Did your installed recovery ever work properly?

just tried
C:\root>adb sideload C:\root\rom.zip
error: closed
not working, i think is because of sdcard not mounting.
theres no fix for sdcard not mounting (format it)
thanks

Try booting into recovery from fastboot and see if it still doesn't mount:
Put your twrp.img file in your adb/fastboot folder
Then:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
I would use the latest version BTW but I assume you are trying that.

Not sure what you mean.
If you had s-off you could run a RUU to get back working and then redo everything (flash recovery, root, install rom of choice.

Got it

[Q] soft bricked HTC One with no OS installed

Hi ALL!
First off I'd like to say thanks for such a forum! Its the first go to place for me for anything android.
Yesterday I did something terrible and very careless from my side. I un-intentionally deleted the /system partition on my HTC One while playing with it and now I am paying for my careless mistake. I have been looking for possible solutions here on this forum and elsewhere on the internet. I did manage to do an *adb sideload push* of a custom ROM and tried to install that but for some reason I cant mount some partitions from my sdcard for example /cache.
I tried exchanging between TWRP (latest) and CWM (touch latest) but no solution so far with the adb sideload method. So I have no OS installed on my phone and the phone sometimes hangs in the HTC Quietly Brilliant display page or sometimes it wouldnt even go in to the Recovery mode but keeps rebooting.
I am clueless at this point, please shade some light on my situation.
In the attached pic you'd find the output from the *fastboot getvar all* command and the phone is S-ON and Unlocked just to mention.
I really appreciate it...

I tried installing Android_Revolution_HD-One_51.0 and One_4.18.401.8_odexed ROMS. I tried installing the Android_Revolution_HD ROM by adb sideload method both for the CWM and TWRP recoveries and it would actually start the AROMA installer and goes on to install but its premature installation. It just finishes fast (sometimes with a success flag but mostly with an error message saying META_INF error -- sorry i havent logged that error, so I am not putting the right wordings).
But now I am downloading the RUU for the 2.24.401.8 OS and I will give it a try. And I will get back to you.
tnx

are u s-off? make sure ur using twrp 2.6.3.3 and not 2.6.3.4, also do a full wipe/factory reset before you try flashing the rom

Hi,
No, I am not S-OFF at the moment. ( I have attached a snippet of my status on the phone from the fastboot getvar all command on my first thread)
So currently I have no OS installed and I am not sure if there is any tool that can do S-OFF without installed OS. I tried rumrunner tool but it didnt help either ( I read that its the option to go for if one has hboot version 1.54, which I happen to have)
So the error messages I am getting are as follows.... ( this is in CWM recovery)
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 on /cache failed: Invalid argument
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 /File exists)
W: Can't unlink /cache/recovery/command​
I appreciate your helps!

If you flash 2.6.3.4 TWRP recovery, and click install, is your SD card size 0?

TWRP 2.6.3.4 recovery is not working correct. It hangs saying "Entering Recovery...". It is something strange.

Fastboot erase cache in fastboot mode
Install the latest twrp by using the fastboot command.
Sideload through adb or store the ROM in your USB, mount USB drive using the usb-otg cable and then flash it from there.
Both methods should work

I have tried Sideload having both latest recoveries of TWRP and CWM. Had problem to mount the cache partition (look earlier post). I will have to resort to the USB-OTG cable.
But I got myself in to a big and real problem now. I locked the oem from the fastboot command line thinking to run RUU.exe but it was a BAD BAD choice! Is there any hope for me now? Now my phone says
*****TAMPERED*****
*****RELOCKED*****
*****Security Warning*******
Oh boy! I am in real trouble. Please help!

SOLVED!

HI,
I finally managed to get the phone up and running. Thanks all for your prompt support.
So, what I did was, first I had to unlock using HTCdev unlock and then installed the latest TWRP recovery for the HTC One ( I think its 2.6.3.3 for HTC One and 2.6.3.4 might be for the HTC One X, because I couldn't manage to install it properly and I couldnt find the 2.6.3.4 version in a download list for the HTC One)....anyway after installing the custom recovery I tried installing stock ROM ( latest from Android Revolution HD --- One_4.19.401.8 OS version.
Oh I am so relieved...its been a good learning process anyway but not so nice if one has just one phone to play with. I probably have missed some important phone calls during the time my phone was down
Once again Thumbs up, Kudos for all those who answered to my desperate questions and Mike1986 for the nice work you are doing!

[SOLVED] Can't sideload a ROM because it adb doesn't show device?

I have the device attached, it shows up in fastboot, but when I do "adb devices" it shows nothing. Therefore I cannot sideload a ROM. The reason I have to sideload is because there is currently no system to boot into.
Is it because I have to find the correct drivers or something? I tried installed HTC Sync manager but that didn't install the drivers. Is there anything I can do to get my device showing up to ADB? I have CWM installed and I went into recovery, enabled sideload and still no results.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
I have a ROM on my sd card already but it won't install. It says error in data/media/0/paranoidota/ROM.zip when trying to install.
Edit: The phone is S-OFF and all that, as I said, the device shows up via fastboot, is there something I can do there?

This had me stumped too.
Look in the device manager and you'll see a device called one. Manually force the drive to android device bridge and try again. Adb devices will return sideload next to the device id

1- you should switch to TWRP, if you have m7_u / ul then 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4, other versions seem to have problems with 4.4+ ROMs
2- check faq #2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2

Thanks. I'm able to sideload now but the ROM won't install
"E: error executing updater binary in zip /data/"
More trouble! I'll try a few different ROMs to see if there is an issue with the ROM.

you're in the UK, so safe to assume you have an m7_ul model, did you switch to TWRP 2.6.3.3 or .4?

Yeah it's M7_ul, I put on TWRP 2.6.3.3

Delete the file and sideload again. I couldn't flash a zip, but sideloaded again and it was fine. I assume md5's are correct in the PC

Still no results. Same error. Deleted the file, tried a sideload again.
This is the full script of what it shows:
"Installing /data/media/0/sideload.zip"
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: No MD5 file found.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip /data/

Sorry, what i meant was have you checked the md5 of the file you're transfering on the pc against the download site? It sounds like either the file is corrupt or your recovery can't process it

Edit: The guys in the Paranoid Android ROM thread say I need a 2.7.0.8 TWRP, That was the ROM I was initially having trouble with and trying to sideload.

I used the most recent twrp available. Think its 2.7.1.1

If it shows up in the device manager on your pc, try go back one version of twrp. It should come up as an adb device

I was able to 4.3 B-ETA2 of paranoid android installed and working. On the TWRP suggested in this thread, the Paranoid Android thread lot are saying to get 4.4 I need the most up to date TWRP, so I guess now I can update twrp and load the latest version onto the phone without needing to sideload, hopefully.
Edit: Yup that's what happened. Worked perfectly. I basically needed to update TWRP to the latest version, after flashing an old ROM on via a sideload beucase ParanoidAndroid 4.4 needs the latest TWRP. Thanks for the advice in there. Will hit the thanks button in a sec!
Edit: Limited to 8 thanks a day, how terrible!

[Q] Device not found!

Hey there!
I have a really big problem!
in the beginning, i installed an old version of TWMP recovery, but when i wanted to install a new rom i couldn't and i read that you have to install a new version of the recovery so i did. After that i had two problems, the first one is that i have two recoveries in my device and don't ask me how cuz i don't know! But when i reboot my device it opens the old version of the recovery and when i reboot the recovery it opens the new one!!!
The main problem is that my laptop can't recognized my device any more but in the fastboot mode, so when i want to sideload any rom it says no device found.
I downloaded the last htc driver but nothing changed! HELP ME PLEAS.

First of all, very strange regarding recovery, so download twrp 2.6.3.3 then
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then........
Try updating your adb and fastboot, you can only sideload or push a Rom to your phone using adb commands with the phone in recovery

2.6.3.3 is the most reliable and recommended version, as for the error, check the md5 and file size of the file you downloaded, sounds like a bad or incomplete download to me.

Thank you a lot man for your help! I really appreciate it. But I figure out the problem.
The problem was that I tried to install a new room via an old recovery, so I sideloaded an old version of CM and when it worked I put the new ROM via my computer and flashed the new recovery version "still not found by my pc" but I all ready have the new ROM in the sdcard!

[Q] NoOS,tried to flashrom through adb but after clicking reboot it still says no rom

i tried to root my phone and install roms but then when i flashed the viper rom something went wrong and my phone would only go on recovery (twrp) i panicked... and cleared ALL the data, even my backup and including the os. I looked for guides and saw this one that shows how to install rom through adb, tried it and successfully installed android revolution, but when i try to reboot it says no os installed. please help

Firstly, which version of twrp are you using?
If it is the old ones, 6.* versions, please upgrade to the latest, then you can try side loading arhd or viper ROM once again. Should word. You can use HTC one toolkits available for m7, or use adb itself if you are familiar with it in a good level.

so i would have to go to twrp then wipe and then format right? then install supersu and then android revolution?

Put the phone in the first screen of TWRP
put your rom in the same folder as fastboot /adb
then in terminal adb push name-of-Rom.zip /sdcard
let it copy to the phone it takes a few min the command prompt will change when it's done
now install the rom with TWRP
