HTC One Soft bricked many problems leading to more problems! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok So I have an HTC One m7. and I had CyanogenMod installed. Then jsut today I decided I would go back to Sense 6. So I download Android Revolution HD 71.1 for m7 install it on my phoen. Then CWM(Which I hate btw and can't uninstall no matter what I do) says your phone is not rooted would you like to root it when I click reboot phone. No matter which I click I get stuck on the HTC logo boot logo. I don't care if I lose my data or anything so I click factory reset, then wipe cache, then wipe dalvik cache. Then I get the error were it constantly says cant mount /cache or whatever. So to fix it i wipe Dalvik Cache again. Then I try sideloading ViperOne Rom. Guess what It give me *failed to write 'protocol fault <no status> *
Then I tried formatting my data with CWM which took 2 hours and still didn't complete so I rebooted(which led to more problems) Now I cant say install from sdcard because it gives me the error E: Can't Mount /sdcard. So that means I cant adb push Viper /sdcard. I have no Idea what to do. Help me please!

its simple to fix, your problem is simply cwm recovery, you need to use twrp to flash either of those rom's, so start there, recommended is 2.6.3.3, its the most problem free.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then enter recovery, select wipe then format data, push or sideload a rom then flash it.
ViperOne Install Instructions
1. Download the the latest ViperOne full ROM zip from the download section
2. Place the file somewhere on your phone storage. Alternatively, if you have a USB OTG cable (I have this exact one), you can place the rom on a USB key (FAT32, NTFS are all supported).
3. Confirm the MD5 on the download page matches the MD5 of the file on your phone (ES File Explorer will show the MD5 of the file)
4. Reboot to TWRP Recovery
5. Backup current ROM if desired
6. Install ROM using TWRP and select wipe during aroma install if coming from another base
7. Reboot and Enjoy

did you format data first ? any unable to mount messages, you could also try advanced wip and select everything in the list.
try pushing it instead
with the phone in twrp main screen only, no sub menu's and the rom in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer type:
Code:
adb push (name_of_rom).zip /sdcard/
takes a while and will look unresponsive, but the cmd window will let you know when its done. Make sure you unplug your phone before flashing.

I recommend you start from scratch
from the bootloader / power down
wait a couple min and boot back to fastboot
plug the phone into the PC
from your command prompt type
fastboot devices
see your device serial number
type
fastboot erase cache
type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now try sideload your rom from TWRP 2.6.3.3 /advanced/sideload

So you have CWM / TWRP installed? Try copying a ROM to the external SD card, and install it that way. Clear everything in recovery first, cache, dalvik, etc... I had the same problem with the M8 and it drove me nuts until I did it all from the SD. If not, I would suggest trying the full RUU, it has saved me many a time.

I have the m7 not the m8. So I have no sd card. What is the RUU method? I have TWRP installed right now.

This is getting on my nerves. Ive been sitting here for 6 hours and I posted 4 times and I still have not fixed this problem!!!!!!!! No one can explain clearly or respond to me even. Half my problems are being ignored. and half the things I say are being ignored.

Oh that's right dang it. When I had my M7 I converted it to a Dev Edition by changing the CID and then using a file like this:
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/m7ul-3.4.10-g77e9ea0.zip
Mine was an ATT version so MID matched.

Hey, hey, hey, patience my friend, we are here to help, ALL of us, we are trying.
Scratch that link, it doesn't like direct posts, find the Brighstar WWE RUU by searching at: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads, or find the ATT, or TMobile. Not sure what your carrier is, but the Dev Edition is the way to go.

The link just sends me to the htc website. Also what does converting my m7 to dev edition do exactly? Will it help with the Sideload problem or the cant mount cache problem?
And I know you guys are trying to help me. Im just mad because everything I do is not working. Im searching all over the internet and nothing is helping. Errors lead to more errors. Reminds me of the time I tried learning progrramming and I made a simple program but It wouldnt work. I posted it on 3 websites and no one could help me. So I'm sorry for going off like that.

I know it can be frustrating, but nothing you can do to the M7 can hurt it. Try the link above HTC doesn't like direct links.

ok im doing it right now. Im AT&T btw.
I seem to have fixed the E: Can't mount cache problem. All i did was go to advance and click only on cache. Now all I need is to sideload or pus my ViperOne rom over to my HTC. Then hopefully nothing goes wrong. What do I do once the zip file is done downloading?

That might not be the right one, it should be an exe around 1 GB in size, sorry. Look around for it, if it's not still posted at the HTC Dev site, then it is around here somewhere. There are also some nandroids I have seen that should help you restore to stock. Nonetheless, once you have that Viper Rom on there, you should be able to flash anything you want. A full RUU will restore your phone to the state in which you bought it in, just like brand new.

Did i brick it already?

Like an idiot i flash a mod for a de-odexed ROM to my stock ROM UK Three M7. So stuck at the boot screen.
The problem is i cant seem to do anything about it. I have no back up (I know !!!), no ROM file on the device to flash and i cant seem to push anything to it.
ADB just says no device found even though it was working ok. Can anyone help? Ive tried it on multiple PCs.
AW: Did i brick it already?
Go to recovery Mount your memory to pc. Copy a Rom. After that flash Boot img via fastboot and then Rom from recovery.

As understand it if you have an S-ON device(i do) you have to use the right onee or it will fail.Its Three branded unit,so i need a three RUU. There isnt one out there.
RUUs only work if adb can see detect it
Have you tried going through fastboot? Just fastboot some boot.img to get it to boot, then put a ROM on your sdcard
It sees it now. I can get into recovery (CWM) and fastboot, but i have nothing to flash on the phone, i cant get anything onto the phone to flash! I try ADB sideload, it gets to100% but it says..
E: Can't open /tmp/update.zip
(bad)
I tried pushing to the SD card but the recovery then doesn't see the ZIP, its just not there.
/sdcard wont mount in CWM, nothing happens.
I tried a boot.img from the Maximus thread.
Ok its now accepted the sideload! Ive installed the ROM and its rebooted...
Its back!!!!!!

If you could get into recovery, theres a toggle / enable mass storage mode too? You couldve done that to mount your sdcard
I think it won't work

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah there is no toggle in CWM and the stock recovery I reflashed was only a test build, and didnt actually do anything.
Well its now working again fine. I dont really know why it worked, but it did. It was suggested i try the Aroma file manager first, which sideloaded OK and let me browse the file system. I then re-downloaded the ROM I was trying to use (Maximus) and tried that. It worked with no errors, although the Aroma installer crashed the first time through, which I understand isnt unusual on the One.
Seems i didnt need to access the SDcard at all, it was just a problem with sideloading. It may have been a corrupt ROM download.
Needless to say i now have a CWM backup, Titanium backup and a ROM file on the SDcard just in case.
You cant mount USB storage in recovery on the HTC One, you can only use ADB Sideload to send the ROM if your stuck in a bootloop or if youve erased the system partition:
I have uploaded the latest binaries to my dev host account.
1. Download and extract these to a directory and copy the rom over into the same directory.
2. Boot up your phone into twrp recovery or a recovery that supports ADB Sideload.
3. Select advanced and adbsideload (Your phone will be waiting for the file transfer.)
4. Open command prompt in the above directory you created with the binaries and rom.
5. Issue command "adb devices" (You should get the serial number with sideload next to it)
6. Finally issue command "adb sideload rom.zip" (rom.zip will be the name of your rom)
This will start sending your rom to the handset and will automatically install.
Hope the above helps

That's what I was doing, it simply wasn't working. It might have been a corrupt ROM download.

Could very well be. Happens more often than you would think
But the mass storage thing is strange....I've seen it on almost all recoveries, but i know TWRP no longer has it in their newer builds, maybe the same thing happened with CWM?

Please help unbrick a Telus HTC One

Hi everyone.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted a Telus HTC One. But the latest flash went wrong and I went into bootloop. Somehow, I seem to have gotten myself into a situation where there's no ROM installed. I can still get into Bootloader and Recovery. When I try to start the phone, it's stuck at "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen.
I've tried factory resetting, wiping everything, relocking the bootloader and loading the Factory RUU Zip using the All-In-One tool kit by Hasoon, and sideloading a ROM. Nothing seems to work. I also managed to push a ROM to the phone using the adb push command. When I try to install it using TWRP, I get an error msg "Unable to open zip file." It failed using CWM recovery as well.
When I plug the phone into a computer, it recognizes something is plugged in. But I can't open the drive at all. I get error msgs when I try to mount sdcard, system, data, anything. Things don't seem to be mounting/recognized at all. HTC sync and drivers are installed.
Experts, what else can I try?
Try downloading a Telus clean nandroid backup. Then go back into recovery (depends of what nandroid you get, make sure you have the right recovery, so if you download a CWM nandroid use CWM).

Thanks for the suggestion. Not having any luck finding a Telus nandroid. Would it make matters worse if I try to restore from a non-Telus nandroid? My phone can't mount the /sdcard right now. Suppose I'll have to adb push it to the phone again?

You don't mount the sdcard in HTC One you mount the data partition.
Also what happens if you sideload a ROM?
PHP:
adb sideload <ROM>
Have you tried erasing cache after installing a ROM if successful?

When I sideloaded, It said
Can't Open /sdcard/rom.zip" (bad).
Installation aborted
Sideloading now gives me this error
failed to open driver control: No such file or directory
Restarting adbd
hmm, okay. I thought since recovery says "Install zip from sdcard" i thought /sdcard needed to be mounted. /data is mounted at the moment. No connectivity between computer and the phone unless through the All-in-one kit.

And I haven't had successfully installed a ROM since I bricked the phone.
Install a custom ROM and kernel on your USB from the computer, mount the USB in Twrp using the otg cable. Flash ROM, if it doesnt boot, flash the kernel.
Flashing the kernel fixed it for me.
Another way is to use an adb pusher app and transfer thevfiles to your SD card.

[Q] HTC One - Stuck and need help please.

Hi,
My new HTC One's vibrate isn't very strong, so the vendor is sending me a new one. I'm rooted though, so thought I'd better start looking at ways to "undo" the root. When looking at options on the HTC One Toolkit, I "somehow" did something to my phone. All I "Thought" I was doing was getting the version information off it, so I could find the correct RUU, but when trying to reboot after that, it just kept going back to the bootloader with some error like "re-locked" and "security warning".
After extensive searches, I learnt I could flash the unlock.bin file again to unlock it. Done...but then it just sat at the "Slim" logo [ROM I was running]. I could still boot into Recovery (CWM) and tried clearing cache and dalvik - but still sat at the "Slim" logo. So I started digging in. I tried to mount the SDcard in CWM, but wouldn't mount. So flashed TWRP, but same thing there. When I try to mount anything, the only folder it will let me select is "System" - nothing else mounts and my "Storage" reads "0 bytes".
So I thought maybe I'd lost root, everything was Read Only and that's why I couldn't write to anything. So using the HTC One toolkit, flashed SuperSu. Still same thing.
I did manage to adb the slim ROM and the gapps to /sdcard, but when I tried to install, nothing would "mount" in order to install it...so all I got was errors saying install failed, and a bunch of directories that couldn't be "mounted". In summary I've done the following with Fastboot:
Flashed Unlock file
Flashed boot.img (from Slim Rom)
flashed Recovery (CWM first, but now TWRP)
Fastboot Clear cache
But after all that, when I boot into Recovery, nothing mounts and I can't get past this. Any help you could provide would be MOST welcome!
Thanks in advance.
-- Edit --
Disregard - got it finally. Using TWRP, I formatted the data directory, and it was writeable again. Not sure if it helped, but I then resubmitted everything I did in the list above, booted to Recovery, and was then able to adb the ROM and Gapps over and it installed fine. Phew.... Still need to figure out how to get it all back to stock though. That's my next task.

[SOLVED] HTC One M7 Sprint: TWRP not able to mount system or cache

Soft bricked an HTC One M7 Sprint because of this. Unlocked with official method, I have TWRP on it. I try to mount system or begin ADB sideload (because stock ROM has mysteriously slipped away):
E:Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
Can't find this issue anywhere else, incredibly. Please help.
In case you're wondering:
Because stock ROM is gone (I honestly am not sure what happened to it), I need to flash a new ROM.
I tried to backup, then found out system and cache weren't mounted-then TWRP crashed, and I got boot looped.
I managed to get back into TWRP, and now I have no ROM, can't mount necessary directories for accessing where my ROM is, and can't ADB sideload a ROM- because that requires system and cache to be mounted.

To cure the unable to mount issues, you need to enter twrp and select wipe, then format data, this will however completely wipe your phone sd card included.
As you have the Sprint HTC One, you need to get your files from here, you cant use the normal GSM roms on this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one
once you've found the rom of your choice, you will need to push it to your sdcard, so with the phone plugged into the computer and on the main screen only in TWRP type
Code:
adb push NAME_OF_ROM.zip /sdcard/
be patient, it takes a while, but cmd window will let you know when its finished, once its done, unplug your phone before flashing it.

I'm only soft bricked. TWRP is now able to mount system and data, EDIT: Wiping dalvik from TWRP let me mount cache!
I have a rom ready to sideload on my computer.

just sideload or push it to your internal storage, I prefer to push it myself, I find its less problematic, make sure you unplug your phone before flashing it, ive also experienced problems flashing whilst still plugged in.
unable to mount cache is quite a standard error though and usually (if available) format data in twrp fixes it.

check in device manager on your pc that its detecting your phone properly, its should say MyHTC
also update your adb and fastboot, easiest way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Followed all of this, MyHtc does show up in DM, but still get that error saying my phone isn't detected when I try to sideload. How can I push to storage, and what do I do from pushing the rom to storage?

with your phone in TWRP main screen only, not sub menu's and it plugged into the computer.
make sure the rom.zip is in the same folder as adb and fastboot then open a command window there and type:
Code:
adb push (NAME_OF_ROM).zip /sdcard/
takes a while.
once done, unplug your phone and in twrp select install, select the rom in the list and swipe to begin the install.

I think the main problem now is that, when using ABD commands, the computer can't seem to find my device.

htc1 m7 keeps rebooting and won't detect network

Last week after software update using auto update Option , after installing the softare , the phone will keep rebooting and won't detect the network. I guess that my phone battery was low at the time of installation(10%) however it was connected to a charger. The problem is after turning on the phone, the phone will reboot after aprox. 1minute 50 seconds and the htc1 won't show network. The settings option in network setting would appear greyed out.
After this problem, I tried factory reset, no avail. Tried recovery from bootloader option but no avail.
Tried Using RUU- RUU_M7_U_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.2_R_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_311663_signed_2_4
Gives me error 155 in Update Utility.
After searching the threads, I decided to unlock and unroot the phone so that I could install any custom ROMs, did unlocking and unrooting.
My htc1 m7 with following specs now
Tampered
Unlocked
M7_U S-On
Hboot- 1.57.0000
Radio0- 4T.28.3218.04
OS-6.15.599.101
Android version 4.4.3 and Sense 6
Some guys recommended me to post my query on xda and I came here with lots of hopes. Unfortunately after couple of days no one from expert community has responded to this query.

you not being ignored, their is no real answer to your problem
you can flash stock recovery for 6.15.599.101 if you can find it
and try the factory reset from stock recovery (not bootloader)
If you have TWRP 2.6.3.3 or higher on the phone now you can choose to format data and then push / sideload a 6.xx.xxx.x rom to the phone. Their are no 6.xx RUU so that's not an option. If the phone died during the update theirs no telling what partitions are damaged so the format data option is your first step

Firstly loads of thanks.
I have tried hard to find 6.15.599.101 RUU but no success.
I should use the second option to push 6.xx.xx.x rom, can you advice where can I find it. I get confused between kernel & OTA, which one is a ROM or neither one?

Use this >> http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip
adb push Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip /sdcard/
or adb sideload Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip
My device is already formatted and I can only access bootloader(TWRP recovery) and if I boot the phone it gives me white htc screen.
I have downloaded the Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0 fastboot works fine however adb won't detect my device. I have sdk tools from adroid.development and the latest version of adt tools.

boot into TWRP
from the PC command prompt
type adb devices
if it's blank you need to reinstall the htc driver
if your device serial number shows it's working normally
When I use the adb command- where should my phone be? adbsideload? fastboot?
The adb won't detect my device even with htc drivers re-installed. When I use the adb sideload button in the TWRP , it stays there for ever.
Can we use fastboot command to flash the ROM, the way we flash recovery?

Finally I was able to sideload- adb sideload Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip
After the sideload was 100% my phone was black screen, was no more in recovery TWRP.
What next step to take?
When I restarted the phone, it will again show the white HTC screen , won't go ahead and boot.
I am s-on and with TWRP 2.8.0.1 recovery.

use TWRP 2.6.3.3
Using twrp, 2.6.3- I sideloaded adb sideload Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip
By the time sideload= 100% on cmd
Phone recovery-twrp showed, zip sign verification failed.
Screen shows as follows:
Updating partition details...
Starting ADB sideload feature...
Installing 'dataa/media/sideload.zip
checking for md5 flile....
skipping md5 check: no MD5 file found
Verifying zip signature...
E: zip signature verification failed.
I unchecked zip file verification from settings and this time was able to complete, followed the step by step installation. After the installation was complete, cleared cache and dalvi and performed system boot. The phone restarts but its again stuck at white htc screen.

Made another attempt to sideload and it was successful, phone booted and rebooted. Phone turned on but again restarted after few seconds, the same way it was behaving earlier. Any suggestions?
I was checking htc Dev site, it has download section with my OS version no. 6.15.599.101- is there something I can do with this file to get my phone working.? m7u-3.4.10-ga936d02.zip is the file.
What are options to get RUU for 6.15.599.101 ?

You still never tried the stock recovery / factory reset
maybe you can extract it from that file
maybe @Danny201281 could help you check and repair your partition's if he has time
I tried factory reset and stock recovery at my first step long time ago. Only after failing, I tried the TWRP recovery and Android Revolution.

When you say it's formatted are you sure about that?
Format Data is not the same as Factory reset or Wiping partitions. You need to use the Format Data option in twrp to be sure. So in case you haven't already and probably wouldn't hurt to do it again anyway.
Boot into twrp recovery Select the Wipe option and then Format Data option. You will be prompted to type "yes" to confirm. This will wipe everything from your device including your Rom and internal storage. Reboot to recovery to restore a completely new file system to your device.
Now with the phone still in twrp recovery, Select the Mounts option and uncheck all the boxes to unmount the partitions. Return to the twrp home screen (you don't need sideload mode for this part) in the command line type
Code:
adb shell
e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk35
e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk36
e2fsck -fvy dev/block/mmcblk37
exit
Once that's done you can push or Sideload your Rom. Personally I prefer the push method but which is easiest for you is fine.
Ideally you want to do a factory reset with Stock recovery also but since you can't find one unless you can extract it from the file on HTC dev just try the above.

I was using the format data option before as well.
This time, followed the step by step procedure and installed the OS, the phone booted again but it restarts after sometime as it was at the beginning of the problem. Any suggestions?

When the phone is booting, does it take longer than normal? And does it bootloop before finally booting.
Unfortunately this is starting to sound like a hardware problem. After formatting the memory, repairing partitions with e2fsck and flashing a new Rom there's not much else can be done. If your still getting random reboots then something is defiantly a miss.
You can check your supersu app to make sure is properly rooted, by opening supersu, it may ask you to update the Binary's.
Or just flash this in recovery to make sure your on the latest.
