[Q] Soft Brick - ADB Push/Sideload; ROM is "corrupt"

[SOLVED]
Hello gentlemen,
I'm the noob that wiped his OS without installing a new one--yea, that guy. :laugh:
Long story short: I'm using TWRP and trying to sideload or push via ADB a new ROM onto the M7. I've tried a stock rom and two other well renowned ROMS. Each time, though it pushes over or sideloads, it fails install because the file is "corrupt." I searched the forums and web to get up to where I'm at, but can't get further. I also tried that other recovery CWM or whatever it is--that one had a similar error, though it didn't say corrupt (I can get that info if it'd help you help me).
Thanks in advance. I'll send some bitcoin to whoever gets my case solved. :fingers-crossed:
Code in TWRP is as follows:
Updating partition details...
Full Selinux support is present.
Starting ADB sideload feature...
Installing '/data/media/sideload.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
E: Zip file is corrupt!
Updating partition details...

As for the sideload, i'm following a set of instructions, "How to Fix a Soft-Bricked HTC One by Flashing a New ROM via ADB" from HTC-One Wonder How To website.
It seems to work and send through. In terminal:
./adb kill-server
./adb usb
./adb devices (to ensure device shows up)
./adb sideload *name of ROM*
Then sideload starts, showing percent complete, etc. Then once complete, it fails in the device with the TWRP output in the OP.

Change CID to BS_US001 and flash this while in bootloader mode.. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_brightstarus_wwe_1-29-1540-16-exe/
You will need a Windows machine..

How do I change the CID?
What am I flashing there? What ROM/version of android?
No way to do this on a mac? (No windows, no access to one)

The same way you changed it to 11111111
You were going to be flashing a RUU of the same version as per your fastboot output main-ver. However, this is this file that I found that you can use on a mac.

Sorry man, I didn't change it to '111111111'. I bought this thing used and it was already unlocked. Please help me out on that.
I'll then try those commands.
So that will install a new OS? (I was convince by the internets I had to use ADB because I have no OS on the device and it's wiped).
Thanks man!

Read this, its my thread and I did the same thing myself, its much easier to do it this way than sideload.

I tried adb push. The problem is the .zip file keeps failing to install because it's "corrupt."

Try downloading the zip file again, other than that try and get hold of the guru reset zip for your phone, however as you are S-OFF you can download any Rom for your phone and push it and flash it.

Fastboot oem writecid BS_US001

Downloading now. That's the same CID as before, by the way.
I'm going with the link RUU, not the one you named (and didn't link). Same command as before.
All correct?

[Q] Bricked HTC One M7 after attempting to restore to stock using YouTube video guide

I am looking for some help in getting my HTC One M7 back up and working.
I used the online Cyanogenmod installer on my at&t HTC One M7 and it worked for the most part including where it contacts the HTC site to place the phone in developer mode.
Unfortunately the radio was far weaker and was losing it's signal all the time. I tried a few nightly's in hopes it was a bug that would be addressed but the issue with radio strength continued. Then an alert about an update from Cyanogen popped up and I trustingly clocked OK thinking that perhaps THIS would fix the radio stregth issue and I can keep my rooted ROM. Instead it broke Bluetooth entirely.
So I watched a YouTube video on restoring to stock. Apparently I can't post the link,
I got all the way to the part where I use fastboot to install the zip, HTCOne-32GB-ATT-5.12.502.2-TWRP-stock-unrooted.zip
It failed but not in the manner described in the video I believe it is due to the phone security set to S-ON but I have yet to find a way to set it back to S-OFF from where things are now.
This was the steps from the video I followed starting with fastboot getvar version-main and the fastboot oem lock
I then went through the following commands
C:\fastboot>fastboot erase cache
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.054s]
finished. total time: 0.054s
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem rebootRUU

OKAY [ 47.434s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 171.191s
And so it failed. The HTC screen came up but there was no progress bar so I know that fast boot is talking to the phone. I have been looking for a fix ever since and I am presently using a flip phone while working on getting the HTC One back.
Presently the phone boots directly into fastboot and will not allow me to do anything but reboot or power down but I can still use fastboot.
Revolutionary just sits at waiting for device.
The HTC One Toolkit is of no use as it also cannot see the device.
This is what is on the screen presently. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok
First thing .. edit your post above and remove the Serialno and IMEI
second the file you downloaded is my TWRP Backup and has to be restored using TWRP ...not flashed
it would be easier for you to use the Guru Reset I made
here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274
So unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then sideload the Guru Reset from within TWRP
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

Also also, thanks for all the help.

Perhaps my adb version is not correct. I did find reference to a push command in the help menu.
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
Also, there is that fastboot command I attempted to use before I unlocked the bootloader.
Also also, thanks for all the help.
edit: I didn't reboot into recovery. I did now but it is asking for a password

theirs no password on TWRP
To sideload
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

I appreciate all the help and I don't want to appear difficult but when I run the adb sideload Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA.zip with the rom in the same folder adb simply refuses to recognize the sideload command. It spits back the help menu and I can't find sideload in said menu.
edit: I am using adb push to place the rom on the phones /sdcard directory and I am gong to use TWRP to install while in recovery mode. The copy is taking a while so if this is going to brick my phone let me know.
edit 2: now I don;t think I want to do this. The online resource don't mention anything specifically about installing a ROM using this method.
edit 3: I tried using the HTC One Toolkit which comes with adb 1.0.31. It gave me the following error
adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

I am going to the gym to clear my head. Thanks again for all the help so far.

your doing fine ..what was the error and why is sideload not in your version of TWRP ?
Is this the same resource that suggested flashing a TWRP recovery file with fastboot ? ... trust me you in good hands now ..just push the rom and flash it
during install choose no to install stock recovery and yes to Root the phone.
unless of coarse you want a stock unrooted phone

I didn't realize the thread went to page 2. I thought you just dropped off the tread.
Sideload is in TWRP but it does ask for a password. I loaded TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it doesn't ask for a password.
I am pushing the Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA.zip to /sdcard again. I will try the install once it is there.

if you saw a password in TWRP 2.6.3.3 you just swipe to make it go away

I loaded TWRP 2.6.3.3 again and I have to hit cancel to get past the password. I then can go to ADB Sideload but it always says Failed at the top while the only thing in the terminal window is Updating partition details.
I loaded TWRP 2.7.1.1 and was able to load up ADB Sideload and attempt a sideload from HTC One Tools which uses adb 1.0.31. I still get a syntax error when trying to use sidelaod from the command line.
It got as far as 77% before failing with this error message
sending: 'sideload' 77%
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
I also keep getting unable to mount /data and unable to mount internal storage errors on the TWRP ADB Sideload terminal.
I need to quit for the night. It seems like I am getting closer to a solution though.
I'll use the backup flip phone and I'll just have to talk to people while out tonight I guess. Thanks for your help.

Yeah have a great night.
When you get back >>
Is you phone sdcard full ?
have you done factory reset and or format data partition in TWRP?
If it's too full to push / sideload a rom.
TWRP does have a file manager feature you may need to free up space using it. adb 1.0.31 is the version i use all the time... never an issue.
you would get mounting errors if the partitions were formatted or erased...it's ok the new rom recreates them

That final instruction did it. With the partitions cleared I was able to sideload the ROM and it installed without issue in from TWRP 2.7.1.1

after pushing a file you still have to install it
adb sideload copy's the file and installs it. Push does not

[Q] Softbricked the M7, made it even worse afterwards. Do'nt know what to do

So, I've tried to get S-Off for a while, but my OS had to be the same as ROM version, so I did that. But here's where it went from bad to worse.. I flashed what I thought was a new ROM, but apparently there was no OS installed now.. It asked me if I wanted to unroot my phone in recovery, I unknowingly swiped yes.. So now I'm stuck here in fastboot without recovery and I can't flash a new recovery since I also did fastboot oem lock, and when I try to unlock bootloader all I get is "cannot open Unlock_code.bin" Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm quite familiar with rooting, I've had similar ROMs on my phone before. The phone is from december 2013. Anyone knows what I can do

not entirely necessary, sometimes helps, S-Off options (depending on your situation)
revone/moonshine -> rumrunner -> firewater -> sunshine (sunshine is by far the easiest and most reliable, but does cost $25)

cannot open / cannot load is usually MyFileNameIsWrong, or not in the same folder etc.

Sorry, I meant root yes..
The code name is right and it's in the right folder.. I've checked that multiple times even when trying to fastboot other files, recovery.img is able to read but not able to flash since I locked it..

The fact that dragging and dropping the file worked indicates that previously there was a problem with the files name or location. Check your using the correct fastboot/adb folder for both storing your files and running your commands.
You can't downgrade untill your s-off. Your hboot suggests your on 4.xx.531.x so you can't use that ruu.
If your phone is not booting you need to push a Rom and try to s-off first. The initial problem you had (with no os installed) was probably due to rom/recovery incompatibility.
Download Twrp 2.6.3.3 form here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 and flash it in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery".img
fastboot erase cache
Then boot to twrp recovery home screen and push your Rom
Code:
adb push "nameofrom".zip /sdcard
You can use the drag and drop method for these commands also (if you need) just remember to leave spaces in the appropriate places. The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. Once it's done install the Rom with twrp recovery.

You can't use those RUUs, those are for US T-Mobile (MID= PN0713000 + CID: T-MOB010), you have a German T-Mobile (MID= PN0710000 + CID: T-MOB101)
so you should currently be on 4.xx.111.x

So you flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3 and fastboot erase cache which were successful?
But when you boot to Recovery it goes back to the bootloader, Is that correct?

It's possible something has been flashed that maybe shouldn't have and made a mess of the partitions.
Try this :- Download this stock recovery
http://d-h.st/Eq1
And flash it with fastboot remember to fastboot erase cache, then try boot to Recovery. If it boots the screen will be blank for a short while, then display an image of a phone with red exclamation this is normal. Holding volume up and press the power button to reveal the stock recovery menu. Ignore the Mount sd card errors that's also normal in stock recovery. Now perform a factory reset and wipe cache.
Reboot the phone back to the bootloader and flash twrp 2.6.3.3 then fastboot erase cache. Hopefully now twrp will boot. :finger-crossed:
If it does go into the "Wipe" options and select " Format Data" you will be prompted to type yes to confirm. Then 're-push the Rom and install with TWRP.

It's possible something has been flashed that maybe shouldn't have and made a mess of the partitions.
Try this :- Download this stock recovery
http://d-h.st/Eq1
And flash it with fastboot remember to fastboot erase cache, then try boot to Recovery. If it boots the screen will be blank for a short while, then display an image of a phone with red exclamation this is normal. Holding volume up and press the power button to reveal the stock recovery menu. Ignore the Mount sd card errors that's also normal in stock recovery. Now perform a factory reset and wipe cache.
Reboot the phone back to the bootloader and flash twrp 2.6.3.3 then fastboot erase cache. Hopefully now twrp will boot. :finger-crossed:

sorry man I'm running out of ideas here. Only options left really is to flash firmware or an ruu. Unfortunately I can't find anything that will work for you with s-on.
What was the last recovery you had working on the phone?

New to forum - Help Required

I got a HTC phone from a friend and I do not know how to find out the model. Also it does not have an OS on it and I am looking to find out how to install one. I read a few of the threads and could not figure out what the terms meant. Such as OTG, RUU,ADB, TWRP, ETC. So I am not able to follow. Please assist me if you can.

You say it doesn't have an OS on it, so it's basically a blank device that you need to install an OS on.
Th easiest way for us to identify it would be for you to take a photo of it and post it here for us to look at. Once we know what model of HTC you have, we can easily help you get Android back on there.
Or if you can find it on the HTC website, that would help. Or even Google somewhere.

I found that it is an HTC One M7.

Ah in that case, take a look in our HTC One M7 forums: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one
In "HTC language", an RUU is a ROM, which is what you need in order to flash the OS back onto your device.
I haven't owned an HTC for a number of years now, so I can't recall the place place to find stock firmware (RUU) files.
I will move this thread to the M7 Q&A forum for you, so that hopefully someone else can assist you further.
It will probably help if you can let us know which region you are from, as firmware is often region specific. Which country?

We"ll need a bit more info to indentify your phone. If you dont already have adb and fastboot installed on your computer, Google search for "minimal adb and fastboot". You should find an xda thread explaining how to set up adb and fastboot. Once done youll also need to install HTC drivers. It can be done by installing HTC Sync manager from htc's website. Then connect your phone using the usb calbe, boot in bootloader mode (power + volume down). Start the minimal adb and fastboot terminal window and type "fastboot getvar all" (without the quotes. Post the output of that command in this thread (take care to remove the imei and serialno lines before posting).

There is a mismatch between your version-main and your cid/mid. The version-main (firmware version) is an old at&t version but your cid/mid are set to accept t-mobile firmware. That will be easy to fix but first what OS do you want on your phone? The latest official Sense rom (lollipop 5.0.2), latest GPE rom (lollipop 5.1) or latest custom rom (Nougat 7.1)?

From what I understand it originally was an AT&T phone that was switched to T-Mobile. As for which OS. I am not picky so whichever is easiest and then I guess the newest.
Thanks again.

Is there a custom recovery installed on your phone, like TWRP or CWM?
Boot your phone in bootloader mode then select "recovery" and hit the power button. If you don't see "recovery'' that's because you"re booted in "fastboot" menu, in this case select "bootloader" and you should see the "recovery" option.
Your phone will reboot in recovery mode, just need to know what recovery is installed for now. If your phone is running stock recovery you will see an exclamation mark in a red triangle, otherwise you'll see TWRP splash screen or CWM menu. If booting to TWRP or CWM please report back what version number it is.

Good, we can fix your CID and MID first. You can use this guide to write supercid to your phone. WIth your phone in bootloader mode (in the fastboot menu) Start the minimal adb and fastboot terminal then follow the guide from step 9 - 12.
Then to change your MID reboot in recovery and type:
Code:
adb shell
and
Code:
echo -ne '\x50\x00\x4e\x00\x30\x00\x37\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=1 seek=16384
Better to copy/paste that one...
Then reboot in bootloader mode again and confirm your mid is now PN0710000 (your can use the "fastboot getvar all" command)
Download this firmware and save it in the same location where minimal adb and fastboot.exe is installed on your computer
WIth your phone in bootloader mode (fastboot menu) type (the command is case sensitive btw):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Your phone will reboot in RUU mode, you should see a black screen with a silver HTC logo
type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
Should take a few seconds before saying : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately).
So do the same command again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
The second time, it should take a few minutes and you'll see "okay" at the end, then proceed with
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Back in bootloader mode again, confirm your version-main is now 7.19.401.2 (use "fastboot getvar all")
If everything went fine you can proceed to the final steps:
Download this RUU and this version of htc_fastboot.exe and save both files in the same folder where you already have minimal adb and fastboot.exe.
reboot again in ruu mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and once there type:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_458803_signed.exe
The flash should take a while and your phone will reboot once during the process. Once 100% done you can reboot the phone and it will boot in the OS (android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense)

The first step changing the CID worked. But when I tried to change the MID I had a problem. When you say boot into recovery do you mean go into recovery from the hdboot screen? The only way adb can find the phone is from the fastboot screen. here is what I get when in recovery :
adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
And when in Fastboot:
adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
Also, When I boot into fastboot the phone is identified as Android in devices and the HTC Sync Manager finds it. In hdboot or recovery it is identified as "one" and HTC Sync Manager cannot find it.
Sorry for all the difficulties.
Thank you.

try with twrp recovery instead, you can download it from here and as usual, save it in the same folder where you have your minimal adb/fastboot.exe installed
to flash twrp, boot in bootloader mode (fastboot menu)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then select "recovery" and wait for twrp to boot (you'll see a twrp splash screen, then the twrp main menu. With your phone in twrp main menu, you should be able to use the adb commands.

I cannot figure out where ADB is located. The program I have installed allows me to use it from anywhere. Here is what shows up when I open the powershell. Isn't there a way to open the shell in any folder?

Unmodified system partition
Keep system read only?
TWRP can leave your system partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. TWRP will be unable to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP and will not offer to root you device.
installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition.
Now when I run code: "adb shell" this is what shows:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
~ # 
And it just stays there.

Will be easier to use the old terminal window (cmd.exe) instead of the powershell. You can call cmd.exe directly from the powershell by typing cmd.exe

[HELP] Unlock bootloader without OEM Unlock (Phone doesn't start)

¡ I need help please !
I have a HTC Desire 10 pro (From Aliexpress, yes warranty avoid), it was working fine (more than a year) until a few days ago. One morning I took it and it was off but the notification led was not on despite charging. I tried to turn it on and enter to recovery but it was not responding. I decided to open the phone to remove the battery and verify that it was not damaged. Mysteriously the battery was in good condition, and once I removed it and plugged it back in, the phone responded again when connecting the USB and the charger.
But there is a problem, when the system is going to boot, after showing the HTC logo, the phone turns off together with the notification led and returns to the state in which I found it at first.
I removed and placed the battery again so that it would respond again, but now I entered to recovery to make a reset, but the problem is that the recovery is very outdated, so it does not have the "wipe data" options.
It should be said that i can enter into a "recovery mode" that shows:
"

"
Where the blue txt is the actual menu.
In this "recovery mode" I can't use ADB commands, i only can execute some fastboot commands (PC recognizes my device because of fastboot drivers) as "reboot", but for example:
* I can't use the "erase" command because my current recovery is not supported:
"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot erase userdata
erasing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: Partition userdata erase not supported)
finished. total time: 0.022s
"
* Nor I can directly install the TWRP recovery because it tells me:
"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 1596000000 bytes
sending 'recovery' (14320 KB)...

* And I can't use the "oem unlock" command either because it just says:
"
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.062s]
finished. total time: 0.062s

Finally "getvar all" command shows this (i think could be useful):

Well, this is the situation, and i think the solution is:
install the TWRP recovery to do a factory reset and if necessary install a ROM (official or not).
Buuut, to install the recovery I need to activate USB debugging (MANUALLY in the android options) and activate the OEM unlock option to unlock the bootloader, which is impossible for me since the phone "turns off" before starting.
My question is:
How to activate OEM unlock option without having to access to android settings? I mean, with commands in fastboot or in some software.
I have searched a LOT on the internet and I can't find anything about it, all the tutorials have the device fully functional, not like me that my device does not start.

Wow. With a little more time another user (HTC U11+) enters the queue of the mishaps! Any Luck anyone? HTCDev also seem to have given up with no option to login to their website.
