I want to try out the GE HTC One ROM but it won't flash on my att One using CWM and it seems I've tried everything to flash TWRP and no luck..
Tried doing it through CWM, tried doing it through GooManager and then I tried doing it through the PC command prompt but got totally lost doing that, is there a video walkthrough for someone in my shoes that I can follow trying to get TWRP back?

If you're using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
, it will work.
Are you in s-off?
However, re-try with an erase cache:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Hi there,
Im facing an issue with this HTC One im trying to root. For some reason, neither TWRP or Clockworkmod can mount the /system and the /cache partitions, so i can't flash the root zip. I have tried several stuff but still got the same error. Anyone knows whats happening?
I have the Sprint Variant, bootloader is already unlocked. Here is a picture of the bootloader for more info.

BUMP. Anyone?
You should be posting in the SPrint HTC One QA.. Potentially you have installed the international Recovery and that has messed up your partition. You will need to run your stock RUU or restrore atleast recovery to try to fix system/cache.
How to fix corrupt sdcard partitions on your HTC One.
Make sure you're in the bootloader go into fastboot and make sure the downloaded image is in the same folder as your fastboot. recovery.img below is your STOCK recovery, not custom.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running <<< Important!
Phone will go out and start bootlooping. Now power off and go back to bootloader mode:
Go into fastboot
fastboot flash recovery <custom recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can go into custom recovery and you should be good to go now.

Hi,
Thanks a lot, this did it...
I couldn't get the partitions back (I tried even with ext4 partitioning over fastboot shell).
This is just perfectly elegant solution.

It didn't worked for me. the process which helped me was:
find the original Stock recovery.img for your device.
Boot your device in Bootloader and flash stock recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
go back to bootloader menu and select FACTORY RESET
once again boot into Bootloader and Flash any custom Recovery CWM or TWRP
boot into recovery and thats it. This SOLVED my /data mounting problem and adb devices not detecting my phone problem as well
Good luck
Oops wrong !
This really made my day.
Am using HTC One M7 Dual SIM (DS) m7cdwg. And this method works smoothly. Thanks Bro, for the information

"how to install correctly? TWRP says Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument). Where is arguments? how can I change the arguments? Previous ROM was Team Galaxy Project's OREO ROM."
I've posted wrong forum here I was looking at DevBase rom of G930. Sorry guys
I downloaded the flashable zip from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95851846488293411
I use WugToolKit with TWRP, Unlocked and Decrypted. Stock ROM
I'm confused as to how I should flash this, I've read I should just click flash zip in the toolkit and let it finish and done. Also that I could download the file to my phone and use TWRP to flash straight to the phone. Some say backup and some say don't. Also some threads say I need to flash back to factory image, tho this flashable zip should be a factory image of 5.0.1.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Apparently the new update OTA or zip will update blocks instead of files so from my understanding, even the slightest change from stock will cause this ZIP to fail when flashing. I'm rooted, decrypted, and changed mixer_paths.xml and as expected the flash failed in TWRP and adb sideload so I'm backing up via Titanium and flashing the 5.0.1 stock. I'll decrypt/root/restore after the flash.
Here are the steps I took to flash the factory image and not lose my settings:
Flash bootloader and radio:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.05.img
fastboot flash radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.55.04.img
After flashing the bootloader/radio, you need to reboot the bootloader as shown below, don't skip this step!
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I then unzipped this file: image-shamu-lrx22c.zip
Now you can move on to the rest of the files
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Finally, just reboot your device, and Android should start up.
fastboot reboot
After the phone restarted I then used CF-Auto-Root to re-root my phone. I did not lose any of my settings or installed apps. HTH...
So if I am stock but rooted I cannot sideload the OTA?
I keep getting status 7 error when trying to sideload with ADB using the update OTA.
It actual unzips and installs about 50% and then I get the Status 7 Error

Rooting causes a change to the system partition, so no, you can't sideload the OTA anymore. (not since Lollipop)

No, he used fastboot. Be wary of toolkits. They can do damage that a novice wont be able to fix.

Jeezus! perfect!
Thats similar to what I did.
Only thing to do if you are already decrypted is to download this boot file, rename it to boot.img and flash it instead of the one included in the google zip package.

I had to manually flash each file separately. For some reason when the flash.bat file was running it kept reporting that the system.img file was too big. Not had that before.

yeah - since 5.0, the flash-all.bat isn't working for a lot of users.

From what I understand, if you flash cache.img, you will go back to stock and lose all of your settings.

The only thing that I'd add, to avoid any confusion, is that the factory image can be downloaded from:

Curious as to why so many steps?
All i did was flash the radio and system images. Went to 5.0.1 just fine, all settings/data retained.
Didn't flash bootloader, kept unlocked during process, only had to re-root.
Having an issue while flashing system.img file. I flashed radio, and flashed system.img then flashed cf-auto-root. On first start up I was having issues with my radio. LTE was not connecting to T Mobile. So I Nandroid back to stock. Then of course I noticed this didnt change my radio back to stock. Starting everything over, I reflashed radio, reboot bootloader, Flash system.img, reboot bootloader, then fash autoroot. Restart device. Radio was flashed and I had root, but stuck on 5.0 Tried to reflash system.img and I am getting error. "access denied" when flashing. I have read this is an issue with mounting the drive, I have even tried to do this in fast boot but I am coming up with nothing. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

I have a rooted Nexus 6. When I look into the Settings>Aobout Phone I can see that the Build version is LMY47D. When I'm trying to udpate to LMY47Z I'm getting a notification in recovery that my current system version is 5.0.2. Did anybody had a simillar problem? Is there any way to fix this except for flashing factory image?
Thanks for any help!

no matter how many times you try, you will never ever be able to update your rooted n6 via ota. if any system files changed from stock, an ota will download but will always error out. you can update several ways.. a. you can flash a 5.1.1 ROM via twrp. or b. you can fastboot flash 5.1.1.
2 things.
1. You must be 100% stock, no root, no custom recovery to OTA
2. The 5.0.2 message if you look probably.mentions deestroy..this is.because TWRP is using 5.0.2 sources - butnits irrelevant anyway give point 1
I know I can't do OTA. I have tried to install the file in TRWP and got the same error message. When I try to sideload with adb I'm getting device not connected error. Does this mean that I have to install the factory image?

twrp can not flash the ota or system img. you flash the system img via fastboot(not adb) and while you're in your bootloader.

I did this for 5.1.1 -people seem to be using 5.1.1 (For Sprint, USC ONLY) (LMY47Z)
take factory image - Unzip everything and keep the following images: bootloader, radio, boot, recovery and system.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot reboot
fully stock 5.1.1 without losing your data

He'll probably want to not flash recovery. And if he has a custom kernel, may not want to flash boot either.
Thanks for all the answers! Some sites clearly don't know anything about this as there's a lot of recommendation to use adb for all this. I'll have a go tomorrow! Thanks again.

here too, many people try it with adb then claim it doesn't work. but its fastboot that you need, and while you are in the bootloader. adb will never work in the bootloader, only fastboot.
after unlocking, falshind twrp and wipeing the complete device I can't do anything at all now.
I can boot in twrp or to fastboot but the device can't be found in either modes.
I tried to mount the sd card or MTP but they don't do anything either. Also tried to sideload onto the device but of course it doesn't work.
I'm all out of ideas what to do now. Anybody got some ideas what I could try?
Extract system from fastboot firmware and flash in fastboot with command fastboot flash system system.img after flashing system flash twrp and install rom or simply just flash fastboot firmware with Miflash
yes, thank you very much. this was the trick!
you get everything bacc up and running ok?
