Hey guys. I've got TWRP 2.7.1.1 installed, but have been unable to flash 4.4.4 ROMs. They fail every time. Those who know my situation know my phone was recently soft bricked after I installed tdhite's TWRP 2.7.1.3 for Sprint HTC One m7. After restoring using RUU and reunlocking the bootloader and flashing SuperSU, I got everything working again and luckily had a backup of one of my favorite HTC One setups using the stock ROM only, along with Xposed framework.
Anyway:I was playing around in TWRP today and went to Mount and noticed that the system partition is not mounted. I'm thinking this may be why I am having trouble flashing ROMs. Should I just click on the system partition to mount it and then try to flash one of the custom AOSP ROMS?

What about flashing an earlier version of TWRP and then flashing 2.7.1.1 again? I'm really wanting to try out the GPS fix recommended for the AOSP ROMs.

Still no dice using TWRP or CWM. I'm screwed. Can't flash ANYTHING at all through any version of TWRP or CWM.
Stuck on rooted stock with Xposed tweaks for now, I suppose.
Anyone think it's worth a try to sideload a rom?

most (probably all) installer scripts mount and unmount (possibly even format) the partitions it needs.

you need to start providing more details, a good starting point is usually:
1- a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI, MEID, S/N)
2- name and version of recovery you are using (yes, you did mention that, next time add it's the sprint variant as most of us are on m7_u/ul)
3- what you are trying flash (including link)
4- what error does the installer throw? "unable to flash" is very vague

It's ok ..I been helping him for a few days
he has a sprint phone and was softbricked from a bad recovery install. So he's kinda gun shy on flashing recovery's.
He wants to use an AOSP Rom that's kitkat 4.4.4 but all the normal versions of recovery have trouble flashing.

Doesn't CM11 need to piggy back off Kitkat? I always hear "CM for Kitkat" and when I go to Goomanager, it doesn't give me CM11 only 10.1
All I want to CM on my phone, Im rooted, have CMW premium, SUperSU and unlocked...
When I go to CWM, it doesn't work, when I try and DL from Goo, it doesn't work, when I try to download from CM app, doesn't work. I'm going to throw this phone across the room. I hve done custom roms before, but always using a toolkit for PC. I only have access to a mac for the time being

No and why do you have 2 threads going ?
here's CM 11
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579229
The Device must be unlocked and equipped with a Recovery,
you need a ROM.zip and optional GAPPS,the Download Links will you find here.
At first,make a Nandroid-Backup of your existing system!
When you first time flash the ROM or you changed from another ROM-Base,
do a Full Wipe via Recovery,flash the ROM, and then the GAPPS.
Restart to System,configure and enjoy CM11.

During the install, it aborted and now the stock rom won't load. It keep going into recovery and I have nothing to load it to. I can't shut it off, and I would like to just work on it tommorow. If it dies, I'm worried I wont be able to charge it back up to work on it. Now I'm pretty worried
Nevermind CM11 now working, switched from CWM to TWRP andf it works great
All I want to achieve is custom ROMS.
I was using Hasoon2000's all in one tool.
I have an unlocked bootloader.:good:
I am able to flash and run a custom recovery.:good:
When the phone was running it said I didn't have root access.
I tried to install CM11.
Somewhere along the way things got messed up.
My phone will not boot past the HTC "Quietly Brilliant" screen.
I cant seem to get the stock RUU.zip to work.
I have not been able to sideload anything either.
I feel like I have tried everything.
Does anyone know to fix my phone?
Does me doing all this on 4.4.2 have to do with it?
Please help me, I'm about throw this thing at the wall, and that's not like me!!! Haha.
Thank you anyone that can help, seriously I need it.:highfive:
I used the CM installer to flash a custom Rom, worked brilliantly.
For you to have installed CM11 and run the Rom means you done everything right.
Remembering back to CM11 I had on the M7 root is not enabled by default, you turn it on within the Rom then good to go.
Are you able to reflash CM11 to get it back working?
Some roms will not boot up as well unless you have a correct/specific kernal or sometimes recovery too..

S-On does not mean much, ive never S-Offd a mobile.
Read up about flashing and making fixes there are plenty of help threads here.
I am not one to really hep, I destroyed my first M7, got another 2 and have one stock and the other i rooted and flash to custom rom via the CM Installed, have not had an issue with it since. Just do not wipe storage, i managed to wipe the firmware somehow and killed the phone. Side loading/pushing is pain in the but..

Flash TWRP 2.7.x.x version. All the roms you are trying to install are incompatible with TWRP 2.8.x.x. I had the same issue. Copy all the files on the phone storage using twrp. Now reboot to bootloader. I hope you have fastboot files that you used to unlocked bootloader. now rename twrp .img file to "recovery.img." Connect you phone to laptop/computer and run this command line. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" That's it. Once the process is done reboot to recovery and install rom.
Last night tried installing SkyDragon v.9. It installed, the phone booted into rom and then started rebooting. Now i cant flash any rom because the phone reboots on the stage of wiping something. I installed newer twrp 2.8.0.2. Now i have these erros: unable to mount data and unable to mount internal storage. I'm S-ON unlocked. Tried ADB Sideload but it says device not found. Have no idea what to do. Saw somewhere that you can relock, unlock and install RUU to unbrick, but im not sure if i should do that. Help please.
OK. So... Try this:
From recovery go into Advanced Wipe, select all and wipe 2 or 3 times.
Reboot into bootloader.
In fastboot mode, make fastboot erase cache.
Then boot into recovery, and try ADB Sideload again or install rom via USB OTG (if you have)
If it also doesn't work try sth like this - it worked for me some time ago.
I saw that my PC recognizes my phone as normal storage when it's booted into TWRP and I don't need ADB Sideload. Try copy ROM like this and install.
If it won't work, you'll have to install RUU

If it reboots immediately when you try to wipe or flash something (i.e instant black screen then reboot)
You can probably fix it with e2fsck.
Boot to recovery select Mount then unmount all partitions return to twrp home screen and connect usb and check adb is working with
Code:
adb devices
You should get an output of your serial no.
Then do this
Code:
adb shell
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p35
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p36
e2fsck -fvy /dev/block/mmcblk0p37
exit
Now try to flash the Rom again

After i installed twrp 2.8.0.2 i can wipe. Well, sometimes it does wipe but sometimes it just writes error: unable to mount data and unable to mount internal storage. When i try flashing rom, for example viperone 7.0.1, it writes "set_perm some changes failed" right at the 0%. I tried installing cyanogenmod 11s and it installed without errors. But when i boot into rom, it says something like "the process android ui crashed".

no problem,
2.6.3.3 is best for most ROMs, unless they require a recovery with "by-name" support (such as CM11), then you need 2.7.0.8 or higher
i've also successfully flashed using 2.8.0.1, but .2 seems to have issues again.

You should give more information like your bootloader version, recovery version, what programs have you tried etc.
Usually to root m7 you'll need:

2 - custom recovery like TWRP

You haven't provided any information about your phone yet, like suggested by @macicgangsta. Please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (hide your IMEI and SerialNo). What twrp version are you using and what supersu version? What was the errors when flashing supersu? When flashing the rom? What rom version is it exactly...? ideally post a link to that rom and/or everything else you've tried to flash.
reporting problems precisely = fast & efficient troubleshooting :good:
