[Q] Deleted OS and can't install new ROM - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] Deleted OS and can't install new ROM - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'll jump right into my issue, as in 3 hours of research I haven't found explanation on internet about my problem :crying:
I need to:
- Install a ROM on my HTC One (international)
I have done this:
- Installed driver in PC
- Unlocked, rooted, tampered
- Installed TWRP
- Wiped everything on the phone (stupidly) including OS, so I have only access to Bootloader and Recovery now
- Somehow the device is now S-ON, I'm not sure if it reverted by itself from S-OFF?
I have tried and doesn't work:
1. Mounting through recovery as MTP to add my ROM zip -> Cannot Copy, Its file size is larger than device limit
2. TWRP option "ADB Sideload" stuck at the screen "Starting ADB sideload feature..." infinitely
3. When running ADB Devices -> under "List of devices attached" is empty
As I've learned all of this just recently, I have incomplete knowledge about the entire process so please treat me like an idiot that I am. Thanks a lot!

Well it sounds like you just need to repair your drivers and push a Rom to the phone. What Windows version are you running on your pc?

About the s-on / s-off thing. If your phone is s-on then it probably always was. There is only one way to go to s-off to s-on and it requires a very specific fastboot command.

You could also just grab a USB OTG cable. It's a really short (like, 2 inch long) cable that plugs into the micro-USB port on the phone and has a normal female USB port at the other end. With one of these, you could just copy the ROMs ZIP file onto a thumb drive and flash the ROM from recovery. I know TWRP supports OTG as this is the only way I install my ROMs and do my nandroid backups. It's totally worth the $3!

OK bro what's your TWRP version? Because for some reason MTP and Sideload both didn't work for me on the newer versions but sideload worked great on 2.6.3.3

I've found MTP to still be a bit unreliable in twrp
use adb push, sideload, or USB-OTG as mentioned in the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
(it also mentions the driver problem)
PS: I also need to update that post, 2.8 series of twrp works fine for most ROMs, if you do get problems (such as with ARHD) then roll back to 2.6.3.3

Ok thanks, will do the driver repair now, however the HTC Sync has been working fine up until I screwed things up, still need to repair? I'm using Win 8.1 for this.

Yes! I've got an OTG but doesn't seem to be working - either it's already broken or I don't know how Pls explain how to access OTG from TWRP if I've already placed my ROM .zip to USB?

It's a new TWRP 2.8.0.2. I've just updated it last week or so. Everytime I restart the device from recovery, it keeps saying this device is unrooted and asks if I want to root even though I've done it on every previous restarts.

Yep, I've tried all that as described in my first post (except the OTG which doesn't work), or do you mean something else?

Update:
If I boot in recovery and mount MTP, my "ADB Devices" command will recognize the phone, how do I take it from here?

I do recommend changing to TWRP 2.6.3.3 untill your up and running. Just because it's the most stable version right now.
If adb is detecting your device while in recovery that's good. You can just push your Rom. Rename your Rom file to rom.zip and bit it in your fastboot folder.
Boot your phone to recovery. And connect usb. (you don't need MTP for this) just on the TWRP home screen is fine. In the adb command line type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. Once it's done install the Rom with twrp.
Or to use your OTG first you must mount it in the Mounts options. Then you can access it with the TWRP file manager, or by selecting install then changing the working directory. At the top of the install options Select where it says Internal Storage and change it to OTG.

Ok, I will install TWRP 2.6.3.3 instead. My OTG cable is busted so that's out for now.
Also this method worked. When I pushed the ROM it was unresponsive, I had to wait for about 7 minutes until it finished.
So I've finished installing Android Revolution HD 81.0 as normal, throws me back to TWRP, but when rebooting to system it says "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" And sure enough, it's stuck at HTC One welcome screen for over 10 minutes.
Seems like there's progress, you've helped a lot but still can't drill it to the end

Mmm! That's strange should install fine with 2.6.3.3. Did you notice any errors during install. Specifically "set_medata_recursive - some changes failed"
Check the md5 of your ARHD download also. You can get a free tool from www.winmd5.com to do that. If the md5 is correct and you see no errors during install.
You can try formatting data in TWRP this will however completely wipe the entire device. Including internal storage. So you will need to push the Rom again.
Also bare in mind it can take up to 15 to 20 mins to pass the HTC logo screen after a clean install. But seeing the No OS installed message is not normal

Yes! That did happen at the end of my installation. Should I be worried about that?
I'm not familiar with md5 - downloaded and installed it, but clueless about how to use this thing.
The installation was done in previous TWRP, I'm flashing 2.6.3.3 now and will try install ROM again.

Set meta data recursive means you've used the wrong recovery to install the Rom.
Just flash it with 2.6.3.3 you'll have no problems
EDIT :- for the record MD5 checking should always be done before flashing files to your phone to avoid flashing a corrupt zip or img. MD5 checksum values are normally posted with the download. This is the correct md5 for ARHD 81.
Code:
[SIZE="6"]Android Revolution HD 81.0[/SIZE]
[SIZE="2"]--- [I]MD5 Checksum: 9985BFD22A695AEA7A43BC7E0EB42DBC[/I] ---[/SIZE]
paste the long code into the appropriate box in the checker tool and drag and drop the file on the tool then click verify. It will tell you if they match. If they don't match get a new download

[Q] HTC One NO O/S TWRP Sideload No Device found

Ok guys, brand new to forums and brand new to Androids. Bought this phone off someone for cheap, was wondering if I could fix this. Have been googling for the past 4 hours and found some info. Here is what I know about the device.
It was rooted (not sure which rom), the recovery does say unlocked and tampered. I can boot into TWRP recovery. It says no OS. I have SDK Manager and correct updates, USB driver installed, HTC Sync Manager installed. Also have Stock rom for HTC One.
I have tried to use TWRP to load a stock rom using ADB, I can not in any way get it to read the device. On the phone I go into TWRP - > Advanced - ADB Sideload -> Swiped to sideload and it says Starting ADB Sideload feature... then nothing ( I assume that's all it says), I then go into command prompt and go to the proper directory and type ADB Devices (it says List of devices attached and nothing ), I still try to load rom and it says no devices attached.
Now I am completely new to rooting of android devices, I am a little tech savvy tho. But some detailed instructions would help and be most appreciated. Basically I just need help getting PC to read the HTC One, thanks!

Buy a USB OTG cable and drag the rom of ur choice to the USB. Go to TWRP recovery nd flash the rom. I suggest Android Revolution HD 51 custom rom. Based on Sense 5.5 nd KitKat with loads of tweaks.

Hey ok, so the USB OTG micro usb right? Would I use a flash drive I'm guessing??

I'm in a boot loop, ADB not working

Hello everyone,
Sorry I'm kind of a noob (obviously since I messed up my phone!). I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, and rooted my phone. Stupidly, I flashed a stock 4.4 rom without doing S-OFF and am in a boot loop now. I was going to flash another ROM but can't get one on my phone. I tried to use TWRP to mount my SD card but, it couldn't mount my SD card. When I tried ADB it says no devices found. I've updated HTC Sync manager and the Android SDK manager but it still hasn't worked! Can you guys give me some help!?

What OS do you have on your computer?when you go to TWRP on your phone and type Adb devices in a command prompt does it no devices found?

Ok I feel a bit stupid... so i noticed on the device manager that the phone wasn't "installed properly". Updating automatically didn't work so I did a manual update and seemed to work. I installed Android Revolution HD 31.6 but now I'm stuck on the htc one boot screen.
I'm on Windows 8.1 and it said "device not found" previously

[Q] HTC One (M7) Bricked???

Hello. I have the following problem. I friend of mine that I've sold him my old rooted Htc One tried to make 4.4. kitkat
He tried to install
Android_Revolution_HD-One-53.0zip
BUT I don't know how he managed to stuck his phone.The problem is when I am power on the phone it shows the white HTC screen with the red letters "this build is for development purpose only..." after a while reboots in TWRP v2.5.0.0
And that's it , I cannot do anything because my PC won't recognize it via USB cable.
Any suggestions?
(excuse me for my English, with love from Greece )

As long as it boots into Recovery its not bricked. Do you have the HTC Driver installed on your computer?
Android Revolution HD 53 requires min. TWRP 2.6.3.3. Your version is too old.

From recovery go to fastboot connect phone to pc.
It must be recognized.
Then flash boot.img which is in the Revolution.zip.
Then install the rom via recovery.
Remember for unlock and not s-off users the boot.img must be flashed befor flashing a rom.zip.

SAME problem (or pretty similar) here, trying to instal ARHD61.1... I don't know how did I screw up this so much...
My bootloader is TAMPERED, UNLOCKED, S-On. Recovery TRWP (2.7) launches but... many things don't work.
First thing I have to mention is that I didn't forget to enable debugging before all this started (and now I can't launch android to do it).
My HTC drivers should be up-to-date, as I installed yesterday HTC sync 3.00.52...
In bootloader, if I type "fastboot devices" I get "FA34HW903605 fastboot", and "fastboot reboot.bootloader" does what it is expected to do...
In recovery, "adb push" tells me "error: device not found".
Can someone help me? If you need more details, just ask. Thanks

Let me try and I'll tell you later. I also think it's a matter of drivers, so I was downloading and re-installing it... Thank you for your help
-------------------------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I followed your steps (LET ME THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT GUIDE) and now the device is "My HTC" as you show.
Something has changed:
If I type "adb devices" (in PC) when phone is in fastboot, the listing is void (before I got "FA34HW903605 fastboot"), and if I do the same while phone is in recovery, I get the mentioned "FA34HW903605 recovery".
In Windows7 I don't see "My HTC" as a conventional USB storage or Memory of a Camera (should it be?)
I've managed to ADB PUSH a ROM (ARHD) in recovery, but now I get an error message: "Unable to mount '/data' " and "Unable to mount internal storage " then FAILED. Now I'll try flashing a new recovery...

WOW WOW WOW!! It was enough for me, sir
1st) Solve comunnication issues as shown in FAQ #2 here
2nd) Solve TWRP recovery mount issues by:
2.a) Installing any other (clockwork) in fastboot using One All In One Kit (eaaaasy)
2.b) Formatting cache, system, data partitions
2.c) Installing TWRP again using One All In One Kit (Android Revolution REQUIRES this recovery)
2.d) Sending the ROM ('adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard/wherever_you_want_it')
2.e) Installing it from TWRP recovery.
An that was all. THANKS A LOT nkk71; without your help I still would be here trying to figure out what's broken... Thanks.

no problem, glad to be of help
remember for most 4.4 ROMs, (for m7_u/ul) TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or higher) is recommended at the moment.
though you should be good by downloading it, then checking MD5 to make sure the download isnt corrupt (that site doesnt work with download managers), then:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery and push the rom

Thank you all for your support, but still the problem remains.
I have installed HTC Drivers and when i connect the HtcOne i can hear the USB beep from windows but i cannot open the phone like a drive.
In other words i cannot add files to the phone :crying::crying:

It wont be so easy, I'm afraid. Even if comunication issues are solved, you won't be able to copy your ROM using windows file manager, opening the phone like a conventional drive...
You have to install "ADB" in your PC (search in HTC ONE subforums, there's a lot of info about ADB pusing (=copying) ROMS) and use it to copy your ROM. One advice: while "pushing" the ROM, be patient: it takes a long time. When your ROM is "pushed", just install it in recovery and... that's it!!
I think here you have a good starting point.

You have to install "ADB" in your PC (search in HTC ONE subforums, there's a lot of info about ADB pusing (=copying) ROMS) and use it to copy your ROM. One advice: while "pushing" the ROM, be patient: it takes a long time. When your ROM is "pushed", just install it in recovery and... that's it!!
I think here you have a good starting point.

[Q] Bricked and bootlooping through the night after Revolution HD 6.1 GE

My One (M7) won't stop restarting and keeps boot looping repeatedly since I went from Renovate to Revolution HD 6.1 GE yesterday evening. I am able to get into the recovery, wipe data, erase cache, dalvik, etc. But no matter how many times I have freshly installed the zip file, wiped cache and dalvik, it keeps booting up only till the 'Welcome' Screen (of Google) and restarts itself without my even touching the phone.
I tried to even force shut the phone but it just won't shut down and automatically restarts itself with that familiar buzz of the One.
I know this phone has been bricked but never had this big of an issue switching between ROMs in the past, given the process of doing it is very straightforward (zip file download--erase/wipe data--cache--dalvik cache--restart).
For my phone's safety and not 'burn it out' by repeatedly restarting itself, I have currently kept the phone on the CWM recovery screen as I write.
I forgot to add that I even did factory reset three times
Any help or suggestions?

@clsA; Thanks for the link for TWRP. My issue right now is I cannot access the virtual SD and don't know how to transfer the TWRP zip from the comp to the One without having the computer recognizing it as USB. Does that make sense?
My system is Windows 8.1, and I tried reading up the forums here for the correct HTC driver for 8.1 without much insight into the correct driver.
@ Sahil: I appreciate your attempt at helping me, but sometimes seniors forget that they were juniors at some point. Saying something with emphasis doesn't exactly get the point across. I know I have to "Fix. driver. issues" but it's easier said than done when you are in a catch-22 where both recovery and the bootloader are accessible, but you cannot have the computer recognize your phone because...well, the driver is being recognized and yet not recognized. Let me explain. When I connect the phone to the computer, it briefly shows up as removable storage (with the "10 gb out of 25.2 available" page) but since it is constantly bootlooping, it doesn't stay long enough on the page for me to access it. To compound my frustration, in the boot loader, clicking on 'fastboot' immediately flashes the message that I mentioned previously (USB not recognized...). In short, I KNOW that my phone is in working condition, but I am stuck in a continuity of hurdles.
I am desperately trying to read right now and find the correct drivers for my HTC One (with Windows 8.1 compatibility)

windows 8.1 only has problems with the old 1.54 and 1.44 hboot .. the drivers work fine with hboot 1.55 and up.
Have you actually shut the phone off yet ?
hold the phone under a lamp and hold the power button and vol down and count to 60. let go of the power button and continue to hold vol down till you get to the bootloader. quickly hit power and volume down to shut off and hit power.
leave it off for a couple min then bootup again holding vol down.

boot phone in your actual recovery (cwm) with the twrp.zip file in your adb/fastboot folder, open a command prompt
Code:
adb push TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7.zip /sdcard/
then flash twrp.zip from cwm, clear cache and reboot the phone to twrp
then you'll be able to boot in twrp recovery and adb push and flash newer sense roms (i.e sense ARHD)

@ alray
I understand here that you are asking me to boot into the CWM recovery, correct? I can definitely do that. The next part of your instruction is a bit harder for me to follow. I sincerely apologize if I sound idiotic. I am trying to learn here so that if it happens again (or anyone suffers the same fate), I would know what to do or say. Kindly walk me through here.
I have the TRWP zip file. If I place/put it in the adb/fastboot folder, how do I run the command prompt without the computer flashing the USB message?
So, here is what I am gathering from your directions
a) Boot into recovery (?)
b) Connect the computer via cable and run the command prompt and the script (?) [Here won't the computer flash USB not recognized?)
Again, I am sorry again I am asking what might perhaps be stupid questions to you or other senior members. I appreciate everyone's efforts in helping me out here.

*/
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

Windows 8.1 doesn't play nice with hboot 1.44 and 1.54 for FASTBOOT connection (phone in bootloader mode). It should work fine using ADB (when your phone is booted in custom recovery or in the OS)
so you could try to fix your drivers with the info cIsA gave you and flash your recovery the ''standard'' way via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery[B][COLOR="Red"].img[/COLOR][/B]
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
or
get rid of windows 8.1 and use a good OS (imo) like Windows 7, XP, Linux, or MacOs so you can connect your phone to you computer without issues
or
flash the recovery.zip from recovery. in this case you must copy the recovery.zip to your internal memory (/sdcard) using ADB:
open the folder where you have ADB/FASTBOOT in, hold left shift + right click a blank space in that folder, select ''start command prompt here''
then in the command prompt enter this command:
Code:
adb push TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7[B][COLOR="Red"].zip[/COLOR][/B] /sdcard/
then hit ''enter'' and wait for the file to transfer
when the transfer is completed, flash the zip file using cwm, erase cache and reboot in your new recovery, push a rom that doesn't require s-off (i.e arhd 71.1) using the same method:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
then flash the rom and enjoy your phone

To make stuff easier download minimal adb and fastboot from the net. Copy the zip into the folder and do what the gut above said

So, I installed the TWRP using the method you mentioned, rebooted, deleted cache, and then again, 'push Android_Revolution_HD-One_71.1.zip /sdcard/'
How long was/is this supposed to take, being a gig file? In the cmd window, the cursor just blinks and nothing is happening (unlike installing TWRP when it installed in few seconds)

Firstly, I would like to thank EACH and EVERY senior member to itsber here who helped me through this crisis. It has been an eye opener for me, being a junior member. I managed to follow the steps outlined and restore my phone to its working condition with ARHD 71.1. THANKS A LOT!!!
Also, for those who are thinking of flashing ARHD 6.1 GPE on their One, make sure that your phone has S-off. That might have one reason why my phone went into a tailspin of automatic bootup and restarts. There might have been something else going on with that ROM as well. I am not sure. Repeated cleanup of cache and factory resets didn't help the cause earlier.
Anyways, I would like to make a small donation via Paypal to our community (especially for helping me out and showing us the ropes). If you can put up the link here, that would be nice.
Cheers everyone and happy flashing!:good::good::good:

[Q] Soft brick(?)/usb drivers issue

Hey all! I'm having some big problems getting my phone working. I was running Venom One rom for a while but then decided to try out something else and installed the CM 11S. Again phone worked perfectly but I got used to using Venom so I wanted to go back to it. And that's where I fu**ed it I think... I've installed the rom (I'm using T.W.R.P 2.7.1.1, standard cache and data format) like previously and again everything went smoothly with no errors. However, when I restarted the phone it got stuck on HTC logo. But it wasn't stuck like you couldn't do anything, I could lock the screen and when I unlocked it it would present me with the usual lock screen, time, taskbar etc. but when you unlocked it it went back to the HTC logo after a while an error popped up saying that the htc dialler was not responding. I haven't came across something like that ever before... So I went back to recovery and flashed the system again and again I had the exact same issue. So then I went and formatted everything including my internal storage, and that's where I made the biggest mistake. I forgot that I had the rom zip on internal storage and I'd lose it if I format the partition. No problem you'd say BUT I can't copy anything onto the phone.
When I connect the phone to my PC in recovery mode it just refuses to mount!! No matter which partition I want to mount, nothing comes up in my computer. I went on to the device manager and surely enough the HTC One is an unknown device... I tried side-loading the rom but the adb can't connect to the phone. I tried re-installing the HTC sync just to make sure I definitely have the usb drivers but still no luck. ADB devices command shows no devices connected. I've run out of ideas and I'm regretting my decision to try different roms...
I really don't want to buy a new phone so if anyone has ANY ideas please right it down. Thanks in advance!

don't worry, you'll not have to buy another phone. Your issue is one of the most common issue we see here. First I will recommend you to use twrp 2.7.1.1 only to flash CM11 based roms and use twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for any Sense based roms.
You will first need to fix your drivers issue so you can adb push or adb sideload the rom to your phone again. there is a guide linked in my signature (nkk71's guide). In this thread, there is instruction (in the FAQ #2) about how to solve drivers issues.
When your drivers issue are solved, flash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in twrp 2.6.3.3 and adb push or sideload venom and hopefully it will be able to boot and it will be stable.

The only weird thing is, I used the 2.7.1.1 to flash the sense rom in first place and everything worked fine :/ . Anyway, thanks for the shout! :good: I'll give it a try right now and see how it goes.

Right, I'm having problems installing the drivers for some reason. The ones downloaded from this thread don't seem to be doing anything at all. When click on them they show up for a split second in task manager and then they disappear. No install wizard no nothing. So i downloaded the ones for Windows 7 from here but this just gives me a message that "Windows could not find driver software for your device." . I mean, what the hell?
Edit: Right, after a lot of struggle I've managed to successfully bring my phone back to life! I have no idea what caused the issues with installing the drivers. I've spent ages deleting every trace of HTC drivers, then installed Windows 7 ones and somehow it worked. Then flashed t.w.r.p 2.6.3.3 and venom and it seems to be working smoothly! Hopefully no more problems . Thanks a lot for helping out man!
