[Q] Computer recognizes HTC One as CD Drive - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am going to go sell my HTC One and I wanted to remove the root and revert back to stock. Without thinking twice I deleted everything on the phone and all that remains is TWRP. I have downloaded the stock rom but where I am running into trouble is that my computer is detecting the HTC One as a CD drive. I have tried multiple different solutions that I have read online and cannot seem to fix it. I am just trying to put the stock zip file onto the phones internal memory. I am able to access recovery and twrp. I am just unable to figure out what I need to do to have my computer recognize my phone.

You need to use adb commands to push or sideload a rom while in twrp recovery.
Put the Rom file in your adb/fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip. Open your adb/fastboot command window.
Boot phone to twrp and connect usb.
In the command window type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes (several minutes)
When it's done install the Rom with twrp recovery.

[Q] [TWRP]Bootloops, can't mount to Windows to put new ROM or saved backup onto phone

My current situation is as follows:
ROM on it is bad and bootloops
Storage was wiped for a pure clean install
TWRP 2.5.0 doesn't seem to have any method to mount while in Recovery
As a result, I cannot boot it up to add the good files and I cannot mount it in Recovery to add the good files
I am at work and as such cannot use ADB.
If I can get it to mount, I can copy over the known good backups or just a known good ROM I can flash. There just doesn't seem to be any way to get it to mount in Windows 7 or 8. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your only option now is to run the Stock ruu and return to stock. Theres plenty of threads on this forum that describe the procedure. You should never wipe the storage just for this reason. its much easier and less time consuming to flash a nandroid backup than having to revert back to stock via the ruu. Good luck and I hope everything works out

I managed to find a machine I have sufficient privileges on for ADB. I can now push files to it. Do you know off hand what the path needed for TWRP backups is?

should be /mnt/sdcard0/twrp/backups
but you wiped storage. Can you boot into fastboot? if so you can run the fastboot command
fastboot flash nameofrom.zip
you'll have to place the rom zip in the same directory as fastboot but fastboot should interrogate the zip file and flash the correct partitions

I can get there. The issue is the one zip I have on hand doesn't seem to like being pushed that way. Rather than sit through a gig download I was just going to push a backup of stock I have on hand into the proper folder. At the very least I'd attempt it while downloading a stock+root rom.

ok the correct path according to my phone's file system is /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS
if those files don't exsist you can create them from adb shell
mk dir sdcard
cd sdcard
mk dir TWRP
cd TWRP
mk dir BACKUPS
exit out of adb shell by issuing the command exit
the
adb push nameofbackup.win /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS

No worries, I'm versed enough commandline wise to know what you were getting at. Unfortunately it seems that random number path for the device chunk has changed since I did my backup(probably because of my wiping and being an overall idiot). The stock+root zip of a rom finished downloading though, so I'm flashing that now. Hopefully that ends this ordeal.
(Edit) Success getting it to be usable again. Now to start from scratch. (/edit)

Hey rogue.... went through this same problem about four days ago, almost blew my brains out because I thought I would have to smash my phone and return it through the best buy protection plan. Anyways... the ONLY way to fix your problem is to use the Sprint HTC One RUU. Boot your phone into fastboot usb mode and run the RUU. Takes about 10-15 minutes, and will have you COMPLETELY back to stock. From there, you need to start from scratch unlocking and installing the recovery. ViperRom is the only rom that won't bug out your sprint phone atm. Also be sure you relocked your phone before you run the RUU. I'm super busy atm and can't go find the RUU links, but google it and i'm sure you can find it. If not, i'll get you the links later if you pm me. Peace bro and good luck.

I know another person suggested this earlier, but failed to mention that sideloading once you're caught in this loop won't work. Run the RUU, unlock, and flash ViperRom.
Boot TWRP, then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your HTC One to your computer.
Considering you have adb.exe (Windows, part of fastboot.zip) or on Linux:
cd Downloads\ROM.zip
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
Replace ROM.zip with the ROM filename you copied earlier to Downloads (or any other) folder, then install the ROM.
It should be nearly same running CWM recovery. Hope that helps.
Rooted HTC one, no os, don't know how to push rom
I accidently wiped my os while putting a new rom on. I am INCREDIBLY inexperienced with this and really had no business fooling around with it. Regardless, I have the HTC One rooted with TWRP but cant get the new rom on to the phone. I'm on a mac and android file transfer is not recognizing my phone. Any help anyone could give would be great.
Try putting the rom on a usb stick and using an otg cable then mount it under twrp and flash from there?

Nah mate you're good, guessing it was a 4.2.2 Rom?
You need to plug your phone into your PC, go into adb and drag your rom zip in that folder, rename the zip to Rom.zip and then use the command adb sideload Rom.zip.
This will start an installation

Had the same issue, followed every command under sun and it just wont work for me. I kept on getting an error: closed message, or cannot read sideload message.
In the end, I just decided to do an insurance job.

HELP... HTC ONE has no OS, can only acces twrp

I am in need of help please, I had my phone rooted and the 4.2.2 rom flashed.. i was clearing the cache, and apparently wiped the phone clean... now there is no OS, and all I can access is TWRP recovery, and put phone in fast boot... I have tried installing SuperSU through terminal, tried pushing roms through terminal.. am unable to sideload or mount from usb... please help anyone.. im on a mac...
You can use an OTG cable and a usb-drive and put a rom in the drive and flash it with twrp
Find a windows computer and flash an RUU.

Please help

[Q] I think I bricked my One.

I have a UK Vodafone HTC One. It's running the Trickdrpid Rom with TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery. Everything was working fine until I flashed tbaldens kernel to enable lock2wake function. Everything went ok with flashing (I think!) but upon reboot, nothing. Just flashing back and home keys when I press the power button. I can get into recovery but have no rom on my internal SD to reflash. The PC gives the USB spund when i boot into recovery, but the phone storage doesnt show up on PC. Is there any way to get another Rom on the storage to reflash, or is it bricked? Please help.
There is an option in TWRP to sideload with adb. Try pushing a new Rom with the ADB Push romname.zip
Then you should be able to locate it and flash it

Thanks for the quick reply. Is there a tutorial on ADB anywhere? I've not had experience using it before.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
You will need to install Android SDK if you don't already have it installed.
If you are using windows open Command prompt and Change in to the android-sdk/platform-tools folder.
In here you can run the ADB devices command to see if your device is showing up as connected.
If so copy the rom in the the platform-tools folder to make it easier.
so lets say your rom is called rom.zip the command to push would be
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/ (OR WHAT EVER LOCATION YOU WANT)
If all goes well you should be select zip from storage in TWRP and flash it.
Hope this helps

Ok. I've managed to upload the Rom via sideload. But now I can't find it anywhere on the SD card?
Coincidentally i'm having the same issue when installing the same exact kernal (lock2wake) last night.
It soft bricked after it was flashed using the AndroidRevolution rom
No USB access despite popups and there are no roms installed on my SD.
I can access the bootloader and recovery (Clockwork) but thats about it.
I'll follow the instructions Gaz posted above and see where it takes me.
There should be an option to install from side load in your recovery.
If you can't find it I would recommend flashing CWM for the flash. You can do it via the fastboot method or the HTC one AIO toolkit. The toolkit option is the easiest.
Then when you are in CWM select install zip. There should be an option in there to install from ADB sideload.
Here you push the the Rom zip via the adb sideload Rom.zip and then it should install. Let me know how you guys get on
If you need anymore help feel free to PM me and I'll try to explain it more if needed

6. After I installed the SDK on my Bootcamp Windows 7 Home (on a Macbook), I copied my rom to the platform-tools folder and renamed it something shorter.

8. Once completed, I re-opened recovery and reflashed. Fixed.
I just want my PC to recognize my phone.. Once that happens, i think I'll be in good business... The list of devices attached is none...

Fastboot not recognizing phone after HBOOT downgrade

Hi guys. I wanted 2 restore my HTC One firmware through RUU. I followed nkk71's guide to do so. So i downgraded the bootloader to 1.44 to flash the RUU. However, after the downgrade, my One isnt recognized by fastboot. Whenever i type any command, its Waiting for device........... I have installed HTC Sync and tried uninstalling also. No success.
But this laptop has both USB 3.0 ports and is on Win 8.1 Is the USB 3.0 port the problem??
But on HBOOT 1.54, the phone was easily recognized.'
Thanks sincerely for any help
You need the newer hboot with Windows 8.1.
An alternative is a Linux live CD.

thanks a lot for your suggestion. Win7 did the trick. But I have another question. Wen im doing the push adb command for installing the guru bootloader reset zip, its not happening.
What I've done is:
1) Put the guru bootloader reset zip in fastboot folder
2) adb push xxxx.zip (Ive just dragged the zip file from fastboot folder to command prompt)
3) Then I get a whole huge bunch of letters
Is it possible 2 simply drag the zip file to my virtual sd card and then flash from CWM, the way its done for flashing a rom
Or could you please tell me what command to put to flash the guru bootloader reset from command prompt
Really sorry if im irritating you
You should paste your results from adb push to get a better answer

2) adb push xxxx.zip (Ive just dragged the zip file from fastboot folder to command prompt)
3) Then I get a whole huge bunch of letters
Is it possible 2 simply drag the zip file to my virtual sd card and then flash from CWM, the way its done for flashing a rom
Or could you please tell me what command to put to flash the guru bootloader reset from command prompt
Really sorry if im irritating you

you should look at the guide in a little bit more detail (including post 7, which has "visuals" both of the command prompt and the screenshots, so you can see what kind of output you get.
the command is "adb push <name of file>.zip /data/media/" <- yes, you need to mention the destination
here's a little trick it seems many are missing: in the command prompt type:
Code:
C:\ADB3>adb push g
then press TAB, and looky here:
Code:
C:\ADB3>adb push Guru_Bootloader_Reset_1.0.zip
then you can continue and type "<space>/data/media/"
if there is more than one file that starts with "g" press TAB again (and again) until the correct file is displayed.

can I just copy the bootloader reset zip to my internal storage through ES File Explorer and then flash using CWM ?

are you in recovery or booted up rom (with USB debugging enabled?), anyway if you can see your phone with MTP in Windows, then fine just drag it onto the phone.

It initially wasn't working thru adb. So I just decided 2 boot the phone after that. The phone is booting fine. So this is what I plan to do :
1) Copy the boot loader zip to internal storage
2) Boot CWM
3) Flash the zip
4) Lock the Boot loader and remove tampered
5) Run RUU when the phone is in fastboot
Is this the correct procedure ?

REALLY THANKS A LOOT. I really don't know how to thank you enough. My phone is back to normal
One last question: HTC UAE has told me that the phone has to be S-ON to be repaired for free. So simply running that command provided in the guide will get it S-ON right ?

yes as mentioned in the guide, however you have to do this before updating to 3.xx because hboot 1.55 is patched for that (as mentioned in the guide)
so if you're just sending to repair, and think it's necessary go ahead with s-on. after that you can take OTA updates... then again why bother, i'm sure they'll update it in the repair center.
