[Q] At wits end!! Please Help.

OK folks, I know some of you are going to jump straight down my throat, but please, back off and stick to the friendly forums that this used to be where anyone would help anyone.
the story so far is that I once loved my Nexus One, I've had it since launch, I have ran Cynogen Mod 7 for a couple of years, I have had MUI roms running, I have played with various kernels, updated radio, upgraded hardware, all was going wonderfully.
the one thing I could never get was full SU!! Heck knows why!!
I then started getting random problems and downloaded the original google frf83 software and flashed the phone via update.zip using amon-ra recovery.
I thought all was well after this, as my phone received 3 OTA updates and now my phone is on...
Android 2.3.6
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel 2.6.35.7-59465-g42bad32 ([email protected] #1)
Build GRK394
I noticed that in the Status (settings) it was displaying my old sim card number, which is not the number for the sim in the phone now. his I thought was odd and that something had gone wrong.
So as most of us would do, I went to boot AmonRa recovery and it wasnt available, it had been overwritten with the default recovery; ok lets just ADB and reflash it, I hadnt used ADB for a couple of years because I did everything through AmonRa's awesome recovery!!
So off I go, install the SDK, all the appropriate packs including the USB driver, just like I did when I originally flashed the phone with the recovery image!
But an old problem came back that I hadnt even been bothered about because I always put stuff on SDcard via a card reader!!
I have had consistent problems with my nexus one for some time now in regards to the USB drivers, no matter what I do the phone will not install and I believe it could be some conflict in the device.
I am running Vista Ultimate (fully registered) and no matter what I do I cannot get the Nexus One to install. It will only display as unknown device, which is absolutely useless.
I have browsed every post and tried everything I have found, and yet nothing is working. I have used devmgmt, I have tried the roll backs, I have tried to install every driver available to get it working. I have uninstalled the device, updated drivers after fresh install attempts, I have even formatted my laptop thinking it may have had a corrupt OS and bought Vista Ultimate.
I am not a complete noob and I have been around these forums for some years, but I never thought I would have to cry out like a 4ucking Noob with such a seemingly simple problem, but it is not simple, I have done everything I can possibly find!!
I must get the USB working in order to get the recovery back, I can access my phones default recovery but it will not work when trying various roms as update.zip!!
I have tried the terminal commands on the phone to install the recovery.img but I do not have SU access and the phone point blank refuses.
I have attempted to change and remove the recovery files reffered that are causing the revert to default recovery, but shock.. I cannot delete because of insufficient permissions. I cannot ADB because the USB driver refuses to install.
So if I cannot change the files due to permissions, I cannot ADB because of USB, I cannot get to Ra's recovery because of bootfiles, I cannot use default recovery to update.zip... I am absolutely losing my mind and I'm going nuts browsing the forums for the second week running, yes I am now on day 12 of trying to fix this problem and at a complete loss...
Can someone please help??
I will even allow remote access to pc because I am that desperate to resurrect my beloved Nexus One.
I also have a Galaxy I9000 without 3 button download mode but that is an entirely different story!!
Please just someone, come to an oldskoolers rescue, and yes PAYMENT will be given to the knight in shiny armour!!

You could try on another computer which doesn't run Vista

Or just use fastboot instead of adb...

His Nexus One isn't recognized by the computer, so that won't help unfortunately. Also, I've never heard of build GRK394..

Install the drivers for fastboot already Jeez and then read How to use android for dummies.

[Q] OTA updated on rooted phone

Hi, I have a rooted HTC One running the Google Play Edition ROM (first rooted device) but I stupidly hit the 4.3 OTA update when I got the notification. Apparently this is a big no-no, but I didn't know any better and now my phone can't get past HTC's splash screen. I can still enter bootloader and recovery (CWM 6.0.3.2) but that's about it.
I don't have a ROM on the internal memory, so can't just revert to the previous 4.2.2 and because I can't enter the phone's settings to turn on USB Debugging. The phone does not show up in Windows Explorer, nor in 'adb devices' when I do the usual thing on Command Prompt. The phone shows up in Device Manager under Android USB Devices as 'My HTC' but again, no device will appear in Command Prompt, otherwise I'd adb push a new ROM onto the phone.
I've tried clearing cache, dalvik and so on with zero luck. It's causing me all sorts of grief and I've been pulling out my hair since yesterday. I've heard that an OTG micro-USB cable might help by loading a ROM onto a flash card, but I'm looking at a few days delivery (at least) and would like to get this problem sorted ASAP. If you can help, I'll name my firstborn after you.

I think an RUU for your carrier will do the trick. There are a lot of RUU's posted in the HTC One forums in the various sections, search and find the one for your phone/carrier. Pretty sure that will do the trick!

Hi, I've read up on this option but apparently it unroots my phone and basically returns it to factory settings. This will be my last choice. Thankfully all my photos from a recent trip have been backed up to Dropbox/Drive, but I'd need to root again and jump through all the hoops. I simply want a way to get a new ROM onto the phone to flash it, but neither of my computers are recognising the phone in recovery, with USB debugging off.

Dude, have you a phone that won't get past the splash screen, and you're worried about losing data? If you could get a computer to see the phone, you could push a rom to it in ADB and then sideload it in recovery. If you can't, I think you're left with an RUU I'm afraid.

You can just root/unlock/s-off it after, you've come this far already so you should be familiar with the short process

Flash a ROM using an OTG cable if you have one.

Cheers for the info guys. I think I'll wait till Monday to buy an OTG cable, fingers crossed this will work. In hindsight, I should have kept some ROM on the phone memory or left debugging on. At least now I'll know not to do an OTA update on a rooted phone.

[Q] AT&T HTC One COMPLETELY wiped...

a friend of mine went out and got the HTC One, we rooted it and put on a nightly of CM 10.2 - and the phone worked relatively well, very well in fact, except the MMS/Group messaging was causing the phone to lockup and reboot. we've had a group message going on for an eternity involving a few of our friends, so many times a day this would happen.
not knowing what to do, i suggested he download a new rom, the stable or the latest nightly, and erase everything, and reinstall. somewhere in the process he erased everything - including the new rom, the phone is completely blank and in a boot loop. we can boot into fastboot or into the recovery.
and, we are Mac guys, except for an older Vista laptop i have. (to give you an idea on it's age, it has a 25gb hdd).
when we had first rooted it, i used MTP to copy the new rom over to the phone. the stock rom was still in place, the xfer went fine. but now there's no rom on the device, MTP doesn't work, the computer sees it as a 'One' but has no driver, and i'm at a bit of a loss.
i have tried to install the HTC SyncManager to get the phone to connect to my Vista machine with no luck, every time i connect Windows tries to look for a driver and it fails. somewhere in the forums i found a 'universal driver kit' which said it covered the HTC One (called it a Google Nexus Device, but recognized it at least).
however, my admittedly weak knowledge of fastboot and adb has proven not enough to get a new rom on the phone. i don't know if it's drivers or my lacking skillset, and i'd love any suggestions on taking a completely wiped HTC One with Koush's CWM on it, and getting a rom on it.
thanks.

1. Download Parallels Desktop for Mac & a copy of Windows 7 x86 (torrents available)
2. Install Android SDK to Windows C drive (exactly to C:/)
3. Download the AT&T RUU here to C:/. (The RUU is an .exe you run with the phone connected to pc in recovery to flash it.) Note: you may run into errors once or twice flashing it, but keep trying and it should eventually work.
4. Connect phone to pc and boot into recovery
5. Run the RUU you downloaded
6. After you finish the flash, reboot your phone if it doesn't automatically.
7. Your phone should now have stock AT&T running.
I hope this helps. -Mike

[Q] HTC One BootLoop and No access to Storage

Hi,
I have unlocked my HTC one using HTC dev tool. Rooted with Hboot. However, i had a problem while doing s-off. I followed the procedure from one youtube channel and it was very thorough and understandable for an amateur user like me. However, my one big mistake is that I assume the procedure works perfectly and hence, i continued with flashing a Google Edition Rom. What makes it worse is that , i didn't back up the storage. Then, this 'BootLoop' problem happens.I have tried some tools that push the Rom from PC to the phone. It doesn't work.
Now, I'm using HTC one tool kit by Squabbi to solve the problem.
But, my the adb devices is missing from PC device manager.
Somebody please be kind to save me and my HTC One.
Thanks a million times

First of all, don't use a toolkit. Go into the bootloader then select fastboot. Then on your computer, open up cmd and type "fastboot devices". If that works, just post here again and I'll try to help.
If that doesn't work, you either don't have the proper drivers, or something else is wrong. The last resort would be to flash the RUU for your model. That almost always works, but will wipe everything.
EDIT: The reason why it says adb device not found is that the phone needs to boot in order to use usb debugging. If it doesn't boot, then it will never work. So do what I said above and let me know the result.

[Q] Trying to gain Root on M7 (AT&T) but wiped recovery and no fastboot!!

I've been looking for a while for a forum with someone who has my problem hoping to solve it on my own but i haven't found one so if this is a duplicate please post a link so i can do it! thank you!
As far as i know, this m7 has never had s-off because as long as i've had it i haven't been able to access fastboot. i bought it from swappa and it already had root and a custom rom. However a few months later i thought i was going to sell it so i flashed an RUU onto it and declined root. the sale fell through and i'm trying to put a custom rom on it again but i don't have a recovery anymore. it must have gotten wiped when i flashed the RUU? i declined root when i flashed it (because of the sale) and not having root OR a recovery OR access to fastboot i'm not sure what to do from here.
ADB works just fine, as far as i know. i DO have the fast boot option turned off within the os (which is the only thing that boots) i have Hboot 1.44 which should apparently be a BREEZE to get s-off and root with except neither I, or any of the apps, programs, one click root's i've tried have been able to access fastboot.
i HAVE tried multiple machines with multiple OS. (windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14) i've tried multiple cables. i've tried usb 3.0 and usb 2.0. i've installed htc sync drivers on the windows machine. i've tried the 'naked' unsigned drivers that a few people have said made fastboot work for them but they never worked. although what confuses me most is i've never had a problem with ADB. adb reboot bootloader works for me no issue but as soon as i get into fastboot this device has never been recognized.
at this point i'm rrreeeaaalllyyy tempted to just trash it but i was hoping this phone would last me until the rest of the year so i could save up for the m9.
Thank you so much for your help!! I was as thorough as I could be with the details.. I hope it's enough.

I believe hboot 1.44 had issues with recognition on Windows 8+. Did you try a computer with an older version of windows? I think there is also a thread that might help you out on that.

i haven't had the option yet to try with windows 7 but i had hoped that Ubuntu would recognize it because all the problems i've heard from windows 8+ were with the usb drivers.. i will see if i can get my hands on a win 7 machine though.
