Heyo all,
After the bootloader unlock that was just released I tried following these instructions to revert to stock 4.4.2. I was almost there until I started flashing the system.img. I did it twice after the first time took well over 30min+ just sitting there writing. I restarted the bootloader and fastboot and tried again. No luck.
Now after getting into TWRP, I am unable to mount the device or have adb see the device. I get the error: 'unable to find storage partition to mount to usb'.
How should I go about fixing this?
What was on your device before this?

Tell me that you used "Mfastboot" to flash system.img. You can not use regular fastboot to flash system.img....

I did. I followed the instructions in The Complete Moto guide for reverting to stock.
And, what was on the device before trying this?

4.4.2. All I was doing was factory refreshing the device by reflashing 4.4.2 again.
You could try Rsdlite. ?

If I get can get a ROM onto the device, I think I can flash it. I can get into the bootloader, I have tried using both CWM and TWRP.
I just can't mount the SD card. I think if I can get ADB to work, then I can do it.
The only problem is that adb won't see my device. I hear it beeping when I plug it in but when I type 'adb devices' it doesn't show anything.

Alright I got ADB to see the device in recovery. I can't get it to mount but I am now sideloading a rom. Let's see if that works.

...adb doesn't work in the bootloader. Only booted into android w/USB debugging enabled.
Check the md5 of the SBF file you are trying to flash.... If necessary, re-download it.
I also agree with @KJ that trying RSD Lite is a good idea.

Good choice, best ROM I've found mixed with xposed/gravity box. Word of advice make a nice fresh backup so you can always get back to what you have now, even save the backup file to your hard drive so you'll always have it if your phone gets wiped.
i am having same issue ,how dod you solve?

Hey everyone. I know I totally screwed up. So I got my Phone today. HTC One from Sprint. I went to unlock bootloader. Success, but when I went to install a custom rom I went to do a wipe, I guess I wiped the wrong thing. So now I don't have a OS, and stuck in TWRP because it won't load. Is there a way to push the rom to the phone and install from there? Or do I need a RUU? Or best bet is try to get a new phone?

I have ran into a similiar problem except I cannot get into TWRP I used the all in one tool and it starts to open for a split second, then I go into a bootloop. I have tried to flash TWRP again bust still no luck. I also reinstalled htc drivers because when I try to run boot into recovery command from the all in one tool, it tells me device not detected. I think this is strange since it finds it to flash twrp but not anything else. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So installing a custom rom will fix my problem or does a rom run off the stock OS? Or does it use its own OS so once I can install it, it will work?
I'm using the Sprint AIO.

Easiest way is to download HTC One (Sprint) All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 then see where is says Extras there is an option thats says ADB Sideload a ROM just load the ROM is really simple just read the instructions carefully.
Make sure you have proper Drivers Installed and you are on the screen of ADB Sideload a ROM on TWRP

You should try another USB Port/USB Cable make sure you have the HTC Drivers installed, I would try this:
Disconnect Phone try another USB Port/USB Cable
Reboot phone into Recovery
Open All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 Select Extras ---> ADB Sideload a ROM
On TWRP go to Advance ---> ADB Sideload (Select Wipe Dalvik Cache/Wipe Cache)
Select RUN on ADB Sideload select ROM and the ROM transfer should work (you should see a sideload.zip file thats the ROM)
If that doesn't work probably someone with more knowledge can help you.
I had a similar issue and had to install my rom with the ADB Sideload option.

thanks for the reply guys but adb sideload is not working for me...i just keep getting the mound data error. =\
Same issue
I as well am getting a unable to mount data issue which is not allowing me to push anything using adb sideload...and when using the all in one toolkit I got a message saying
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: closed
granted I have been awake for about 26 hours now so i may have just missed something but any advice would be very helpful
EDIT - Figured out that you need to do wipe of pretty much everything by going to wipe>advanced>and selecting everything, then do a adb sideload, worked like a charm
I am a newbie trying to root htc one(att) , after I installed the 4.2.2 it began to keep restarting,I tought it was because I didn't wipe my data before I flash a new ROM, so i enter the TWRP and wanna wipe data and try again.
But I selected all the options and wiped everything on the cellphone including the OS, so now I can enter the bootloader, and I can enter the recovery, but I can't find the "USB storage" in the computer , so how can I transfer the rom to the storage and flash again?
Thank you very much

You know what ADB and Fastboot are I assume? if not, I'll explain more.
But you have to do the following:
- download a rom of your choice on your pc (or use one you already have on there)
- put it in your ADB folder (for example for me C:\Users\Thom\Downloads\One\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\platform-tools)
- then open a command window in that folder (shift+right click on the folder, or in a cmd window use the cd command)
- use the command "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly.
Hi, thank you for the help. I followed your guide and successfully transfer the zip into the phone. But when I enter the recovery and try to install, it failed and says:
E: unable to mount /cache
E: unable to mount /data
E: unable to mount /system
E: unable to mount internal storage
I click the mount option in the recovery , there are 4 box (cache, data,system,USB-OTG), but I can't choose any of them.
Also at the bottom of the box it says that"Storage: Internal Storage (0MB)"

ok, I'll try to help.
I had the exact same problem yesterday (I was being a bit dumb and accidently pressed the wrong button ) and I managed to solve it.
Okay, here is the RUU. Download it, it may take a while.
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1847-ruu-m7-ul-jb-50-cingular-12650212exe/
So while it's downloading, start with preparing.
First of all, did you flash the new firmware already? If so, go back to the old one. I'm not sure if the AT&T has same firmware as the international, if it does I can give you a link because I still have it on my pc.
You can flash it with "fastboot oem rebootRUU" (case sensitive!)
then when you see a htc logo on your phone "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (replace firmware with actual file name)
THEN FLASH IT AGAIN, OTHERWISE IT WON'T WORK AND YOU'LL BE BRICKED
then if it says succesful, use "fastboot reboot". Then go back into bootloader.
then, flash stock recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158763)
after that, relock your device (command is "fastboot oem relock")
so after the RUU finished downloading, try to run it.
Any problems, I'll keep an eye on this thread
Thank you . I am now at the htc grey logo status.
Since I dont know what firmware is I am afraid to take the next step.
Whats the firmware you've talked about? Is it OS? like 4.2.2 OS zip file?

No, the firmware package for the HBoot, Radio, etc.
I assume you didn't flash it when going to 4.2.2?
Or did you take the official 4.2.2 update before?
No, I didn't flah firmware when going to 4.2.2.
When my phone is good, all I did is I just copied the 4.2.2 to the phone and install in the recovery status.
Then the 4.2.2 keeps restarting and then I deleted everything on the phone .

You can always unlock it again if it doesn't work, so there isn't much of a risk

the problem here isn't the firmware he flashed the 4.2.2 rom, which uses the storage a bit different.
The problem he has is caused by the fact he didn't clear SD directly after flashing (needed if you jump from custom rom 4.1.2 to 4.2.2)
it could have been easy, but he can't boot into his rom, everything is gone. If he could boot it would be waaaaaaay easier, would only require a few ADB commands
OK, now I run the RUU, the phone is in the grey htc status,.It says gonna take 10 mins, hope it will be fine :victory:

good you're back.
before you flash 4.2.2, take the official OTA
or if you don't have it yet, first flash the 4.2.2 firmware (can be found in the ARHD thread) and then after the rom is done installing, wipe the sd card
Have fun with your One
Hi there! I have been stumped for the past 18 hours trying to fix my phone, and I decided to come to the people who actually know what they are doing. I had Cyanogenmod installed on my phone, and I wanted it gone. I have somewhat forgot the steps I have taken in between.
I am at the point where I have the following tags on my H-Boot (Version 1.56) Tampered & Re-Locked. I have TWRP installed, using sideloader always gives me a error (executing updater binary in zip). Trying to mount to sdcard, gives me a error (unable to mount /data/). Using fastboot to flash with either a recovery img or the rom gives me a error (signature verify error).
Any help is appreciated. I can Skype Screen-share and call with people, if it would speed up the process, if you would be willing to help with that, please drop me a PM with your Skype name. All and any help is appreciated. Cheers.
Unlock your bootloader at HTC Dev, that's why you cant flash recovery, and certainly wont be able to flash any ROM's with it locked.

It's the one I got told for my phone, as I am on Vodafone and it matches with my details.
That wont work, its not a zip, that's why your having problems, its the official RUU
I have a backup of the Vodafone original rom for your device, I will PM you a link, but first will you enter your recovery and backup your current rom please, the reason I ask you to do this is because by doing a backup, TWRP will automatically creat a couple of folders where you will need to put the backup I give you.

Cheers dude. I have backed up every folder on TWRP.
unzip the file I give you and extract it somewhere where you can find it all like on your desktop.
flash the recovery included in the zip, just incase of compatibility issues, its still TWRP, just a different version.
Copy backup folder and its contents to your internal phone memory - TWRP - BACKUPS - (folder named device serial number) - place the folder with the backup here.
Enter recovery and flash it.

So I'm guessing your stuck in the bootloader. This should be a fairly easy fix. I'm not available for Skype at the moment but as I say should be an easy fix.So lets get some prerequisite's out of the way first.
Do you have access to a pc with working adb/fastboot?
I see the bootloader is unlocked, is it running a custom recovery and if so which one (name and version please)

Once your up and running if you want to go back to stock you can use this Nandroid Backup http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/stock-backup-3-23-666-1/
Alternatively you could use it instead of the Rom in my other post but the push is a little more complicated. Where as once the device e is booting you can just drop the nandroid in the correct folder using MTP on your pc.

Check the Md5 of your download, you can get a checker tool here www.winmd5.com the correct MD5 is MD5sum: 72067aefb69541d40e8420d7aa46408d
If it doesn't match download it again :good:

Your device has an Internal Sd card. But that stock zip I'd not a Rom, you can't flash it like a Rom. It a Nandroid Backup so it needs to be restored using TWRP.
You need to get TWRP to flash, try updating your your adb/fastboot. You can check your current version by typing
Code:
adb version
In the command window. Latest is 1.0.31 :good:

Hello guys. I've got a big problem. I rooted my Nexus 6 and installed TeamWin Recovery, but something wasn't installed correctly so I went to factory reset my phone from TeamWin recovery and completely deleted EVERYTHING, including my OS. Now I cannot do anything, my phone just stays at the Google logo. Just to clear things up:
My phone isn't rooted
Bootloader isn't unlocked
I have no OS.
I need help on how to flash android 5.0 back on my Nexus (Yes I've tried using Toolkit, but since my phone doesn't boot it's no use to me). Help would be much appreciated.

I dont mean to sound rude, really, but so what? you can download and transfer a ROM to your twrp recovery via regular file transfer, adb sideload, or adb push. so download what you need, choose a method, then transfer it to your phone. you dont have other options, besides for flashing a factory image.
Why did you install a custom recovery if you haven't unlocked your phone?
It seems to me you should start by downloading the appropriate factory image from Google. And flash everything (with the exception of boot loader) from inside your boot loader. Press and hold the power button while it's on, this will set a reboot. While the screen is black, press and hold power and volume down. This will get into boot loader.
Let us know if you need assistance on how to flash the factory images.

first off, look at your recovery, you should be able to find a mtp and a adb sideload option. mtp would be the regular file transfer. you can google adb sideload twrp, and youll find instructions on that. or you can try googling adb push, and you will find instructions. thats the one i normally would use(but its been a long time), ive deleted my os before as well :angel:

Internal storage is called sdcard. All you need to do is boot TWRP and connect to PC. You should see your internal storage on your PC then. Drag and drop your ROM from PC to internal storage. Flash ROM, profit.

/sdcard is a common directory mounted at /data/media/0. TWRP has MTP access so like android, you plug it into the computer and drag files across. You don't need to remove it to do that.
...and indeed you are right, if you delete the "internal storage"/as s it shows up as in MTP mode, you would have to flash stock (though we'd recommend using fastboot not toolkits) however that is not the case here. The user said he deleted " everything" via TWRP. Although there is an option to "wipe" internal storage, this only wipes the /sdcard data - NOT deletes "internal storage" as someone can do on a computer. So yeah, the quickest and best way to recover from "deleted OS" is to put a ROM.zip on the sdcard and flash it.
Will someone please refer me to a download for Android 5.0. I've tried some, but all the sites are block by my internet provider.

There is only one legitimate site for Google factory images, and it's linked below. I don't understand why any provider would block it...
And why do you want 5.0? That is the original, release version for the Nexus 6? What version are you on, today? If you are on 5.1 or higher, and you decide to downgrade, do not downgrade your bootloader, as it could brick your device.

Doesn't matter. You've got NO OS now, so just flash the latest. If you're wanting to keep TWRP and dead set against flashing a ROM.zip from recovery as I've suggested, just flash the system and boot image from the factory images.
Can we get it done already?
