[Q] Stuck in TWRP with nowhere to go! - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I tried advanced wiping the Dalvik cache, system, cache, Data, and Internal Storage thinking I was somehow going into a factory reset. Now I have no OS! Oh it gets worse! ADB Sideload isn't working either because when I try to push a .zip file the command prompt says 'failed to write data protocol fault (no status)'.
What should I do? Someone please help!

Then I'd get one. You can download a ROM to it, put it in the device, and flash it from there.

Okay so I've put the BadBoyz HK ROM onto the SD and flashed it, am I good to reboot? I'm so scared to take any steps at this point without proper advice.

You can also do
From recovery
adb push ROMname.zip /sdcard/

for future reference if this happens to you again adb side load should work as long as you have the correct drivers install and you are entering it in correctly. It should be
sudo adb push path_of_rom_zip /sdcard
example
sudo adb push /home/dean/Downloads/rom.zip /sdcard
Thats if you are using Linux, windows is the same format just use the correct windows path and with no sudo.
Also, you can use adb sideload to do this:
boot into twrp, click advanced, click adb sideload, select to wipe both caches then slide to start adb sideload. Plug in your phone to your computer and enter sudo adb sideload path_to_zip.zip. For example "adb sideload C:\users\yourprofile\Downloads\rom.zip"
That will work too, hope this helps in the future or for anyone else with the same prob.

I don't think USB can be mounted, you could use adb sideload instead if you completely wiped the internal storage but I'd wait till you boot the phone and then do it instead. Remember to make a nandroid backup you're safe to factory reset in recovery if that's what you meant, as that doesn't touch system or your internal sdcard.

thanks could i be cheeky could you tell me how to use adb sideload as ive never used it before thanks:good:
No sorry.
Jokes, so in recovery press 'install zip from sideload' then plug your phone into your PC. Now put your rom zip (rename to rom.zip) in the same folder as your adb file, and put this folder on your desktop. Now use
Code:
cd Desktop
then
Code:
cd 'NAME OF FOLDER'
now use
Code:
adb devices
and check your serial number appears.
Now use
Code:
abd sideload rom.zip
and it will transfer and install

Ok, no it doesn't but first we need to find out why adb isn't working :/
Grab the driver from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=963042&d=1332595157
Extract the drivers
Now go to Start menu and right click on my computer and then click manage.
Now go to device manager and there you should see your connected One listed as being without a driver.
Right click on that entry and select 'update driver'
Now tell it that you have the driver on local disk and then browse to the folder you extracted.
Update your driver.
Disconnect and reconnect the device and try ADBing again.
Should work.

listen mate, I'm ready to help you push or sideload a rom to your phone, but we will not use this toolkit (no disrespect to squabbi btw).
When things goes wrong, better to use adb/fastboot directly from terminal, not using a toolkit.
so go ahead and install adb/fastboot on your computer so we can start troubleshooting.

In twrp, when you click on ''install'' does it says ''storage: internal storage: (0 MB)''? If it says 0 MB then you probably have corrupted your data partition...

This part to do in 2nd - in recovery mode:
make sure your rom.zip is in the same folder of adb and fastboot, if you have installed minimal adb and fastboot, it should be C:\Program\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\
hold shift + right click a blank space in that folder, select ''start command prompt here'' from the contextual menu.
then in the command prompt (with your phone booted in twrp) type:
Code:
adb devices
it should reply your device s/n + recovery, If yes then:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
should take around 5 min to transfer (there is no progress bar)

wait your twrp is outdated and most newer rom require at least twrp 2.6.3.3.
download and save twrp 2.6.3.3 to your adb/fastboot folder
with phone in bootloader mode (fastboot):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then re-enter recovery and do what I said above

HTC One Soft bricked many problems leading to more problems!

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.

type

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.

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.

read the instructions - realize that you need to flash with TWRP recovery not ClockWorkMod - flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 - enter recovery and wipe - push the ROM again - flash again.

oh no, well here goes, your going to need it, especially as your in a bootloop.
so download and install this, everything including the drivers, the file must be run as administrator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
then download this img file and put it in the same folder as fastboot and adb that you just installed: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
open a command windows (CMD window) in that same folder, to do this, hold down control & shift & right mouse click on any white area in that folder and select open command window here.
with your phone plugged into the computer and in fastboot USB mode type the following command one at a time
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
let me know when that's done

that was quick, enter recovery, and select wipe, swipe to factory reset then I always go into advanced wipe too and select everything except internal storage.
once done, go back to the main screen of recovery, main screen only, no sub menu's.
download the rom again and put in the same folder as adb and fastboot again.
then with your phone plugged in, rom in the folder, and a command window open 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.
once done, unplug your phone, and slect install, select the rom from the list and swipe to begin the install.

So in the command window, I put the full name of the rom download file?

yeah, easiest way is once you've downloaded the rom, just change the file name to rom.zip then move it to the adb and fastboot folder, then adb push rom.zip /sdcard/

And also, since I already wiped, do I have to do it again in Aroma Installer, or can I continue without wipe?

its only a wipe of data, so I would just go ahead and wipe just to be sure.

that happens sometimes, just hold the power button down till the lights on the bottom flash 10 - 15 times, the phone will reset and pick up where it left off and start booting.

your welcome, and learned adb and fastboot along the way too, better than using compiled apps to flash things.
same problem, but different result...

Hi Seanie,
I followed the instructions on this post, as I was having a similar problem. I installed the Apolo7 v4.1 rom on my phone using CWM instead of TWRP and entered a boot loop. After following your instructions for installing ADB and flashing TWRP, when I try to enter recovery to perform a wipe it won't and goes back into a boot loop wherein it is perpetually trying to enter recovery. Any suggestions?
thanks!

Seanie, I found your advice very useful. Thanks for taking the time to walk us noobs through. In my case it didn't work at first but after I found the right version of TWRP for my HTC One it worked fine. Thanks!
I recorded my experience here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-802w-stuck-bootloader-t2835693#post54576527

Deleted everything: having trouble getting rom on

Okay so this is what happened.
I wanted to delete eveerything on my phone and start fresh
so i made a backup of my rom on twrp
so i went into twrp and wiped cache, dalvick etc but i accidently pressed internal too. so i wiped everything without realizing it and i couldnt boot into the OS because it is deleted i could get into bootloader and twrp but dont know what to do
i am on a mac running parallels
i tried to install a rom using adb sideload but i needed to install android sdk first
so when i tried to install android sdk it would open a cmd window for a half a second and then close again.
my bootloader screen says tampered
unlocked
s-on
any help on what to do next?
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/fix-soft-bricked-htc-one-by-flashing-new-rom-via-adb-0154361/
okay so im using this to get adb to get a rom onto my phone but when i use terminal and say "fastboot devices" it doesnt recognize my phone
Are there Mac drivers for the One? I'm on Windows so usually if you're PC doesn't see your phone, it's a driver issue.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb sideload Desktop/Rom.zip
loading: 'Desktop/Rom.zip'
* cannot read 'Desktop/Rom.zip' *
okay this is the error it gives me when i try to sideload a rom.
while im doing this the phone is in the bootloader with fastboot usb highlighted in red.

adb works in recovery and OS/Rom it won't work in fastboot.
Sideload is hit or miss.
From recovery type
adb push NameofRom.zip /sdcard/
It will take 5+ minutes to complete so don't freak out.
Once you confirm it's on your sdcard select Wipe>Advance Wipe and select cache,dal cache,data,system.
Then flash the rom.
okay so i got ruu to recognize my phone so im trying that right nowhopefully it works

i tried this and it gives me a long long list of **** and nothing happens to my phone.
i tried 1.29 ruu and it tells me im using the wrong version
so i try 3.04 and it tells me my batterys too low so i charge it for an hour and it keeps giving me that message.
i relocked my bootloader and still the same thing.
what other ruu is out there that might work?

If you are getting a long list of stuff you are pointing to the wrong folder when you open the cmd window.
As for RUU you need to use one equal to or newer then the OS version you are running now.
