[Q] AT&T HTC One stuck in bootloop - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While trying to flash the ViperOne ROM something went wrong and I deleted my entire internal storage, including my backup. I have tried adb sideload and adb push, but my device is not found. I am using TWRP, and I am on a mac. My USB-OTG cable arrives on Tuesday, how would I go about using the USB-OTG cable to put the stock ROM onto my phone? Are there any alternatives to using the cable? Thank you.

[Q] HELP! I rooted my HTC ONE 801n everything was fine until...

Hey you guys what's up!
I unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One via HTC Devs and flashed a custom recovery (CWM) and then flashed Cyanogenmod 10.1 and everything was AMAZING and great I was updating the nighties almost daily and I was having a blast! Then my Google Apps stopped working. They would have a server error repeatedly and I couldnt update my apps on Play store or use G+ or sync my email none of my Gapps were working. So i figured i'd relfash my GAPPS and thats exactly what i did still nothing changed. So I wiped the device and reinstalled Cyanogenmod. In the welcome screen when i sign to Gmail, it gave me the same server error. So I wiped the sd card by accident and now i'm on Recovery but NO ROMS to flash! And because the phone doesn't support an external SD Card, I cannot add the rom again to flash it via recovery! I tried to adb sideload but it wont work the adb installer keeps telling my windows 8 64bit error! Also, I tried to mount the sdcard to copy the rom again and flash it in recovery but it wont mount my computer wont read the phone. It gives me the alert that the phone is connected but i do not get to access the memory to copy a rom to it.
Now I'm stuck with a HTC One that has CWM recovery and no roms to boot. Please please help!
Thanks
This happened to me. With cwm you'll just have to side load a new zip. Use adb sideload ROM.zip this should get you back in business.

Thats what i initially tried to do, when i go to sideload adb the command screen i type in the command but nothing happens on the phone
If you have an OTG cable it will come in handy here. Try uninstalling the drivers and reinstall them

Why would an OTG cable come in handy? I have one but haven't really found any practical uses for it beside hooking up a mouse, keyboard, or sd reader.

after reading my own post, im guessing to to put zip files on an sd card when you cant use adb?
I'm having a similar problem, I can't access the sdcard (or /data directory) and don't have an OTG cable. Any way I can access the /data directory? recoveries keep showing it as 0MB. :/
---
EDIT: Got it fixed. Sideload didn't work on TWRP. I tried using CWM and it froze the computer I was doing it from. I tried again from another computer and I decided to wait a few minutes and it started pushing it. Eventually the rom installed and all is well!
I think the problem occured when trying to install a rom before and recovery rebooted in the middle of the installation which messed up the /data directory. I lost all access to it and ended up wiping it all (prob didn't need to) and sideload fixed it.
boys, i figured it out. I have used a OTG Cable copied the rom to a usb stick and bam! i'm a satisfied customer!

[Q] One has no SD Card - no mount in recovery - no rom installed

ok, so my phone is screwed.
Been trying touse this thread to recover it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2325853
I have no SD Card, I can not mount SD Card in Recovery.
I have from what I can tell installed the Android SDK and when doing 'adb devices' I get 'error device not found'.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled HTC drivers and sync, does not recognise my phone. Device manager shows my One but can not find any drivers for it.
I have tried the All In One Tool to sideload, does not work, does not reboot to bootloader etc due to drivers not working.
Basically my phone is dead as, what can I do? Take it to HTC, how much would it cost to fix?
Cheers
EDIT: If i reboot system from Recovery it tells me it does not have root, do i want to root it? I say yes and it reboots to splash screen, nothing else
What operating system are you running?
If you're using Windows 8 search for the thread with the windows 8 drivers.
I accidently formatted my SD card while I had no rom installed. It took a while but eventually ADB picked it up and I was able to push the rom to my device using ADB push (I was also getting the "No devices found" message). This was before I found the windows 8 driver thread, it just randomly started working after many resets of both my phone and computer.
What recovery are you using? Do you happen to have a flash drive and a usb otg cable? This is an other option.

that is easy dont panic
1- if the drivers is not installed properly you cant do anything from PC and send it to the device
if you are using Windows 8.1 there is NO drivers for it,
if its Windows 8 there is NO official driver yet but you can install Windows 7 drivers
if its Windows 7 or earlier make sure its installed correctly if you dont know reply to my comment i will tell you anything you want
2- it happned to me too No Root and NO Rom installed, i simply copied the ROM to a USB Stick and using a USB OTG cable ($1) i plugged the cable to the phone and mounted the cable and then installing it from there,
tell me more about what you have and i will help you
Spent a few hours last night working on this with the help of Matt from here
I have CWM Touch (latest) and he was able to fix the driver issue, and we got sideloading working.
Will push the rom to phone, install, start roms splash screen but go no further. Still no SD Card or missing the mount points to show SD Card.
Attempted to S-Off, failed, unsure if CID 11111111 was successful. (Not CID11111111, was HTC_039 now VODAP21 or similar)
I has told/read an article that if you flash a differnt base (eg ICS to JB) that it will replace a script that handles/writes the mount points..
That worth a try but I believe all roms are JB. Any idea of any ICS roms for the One??
I can not find a RUU for 1.29.980.2 to try, only Nandroid Backups that I can not use as no SD..
EDIT: what does a flashing red led mean too? Cheers

[Q] HELP - Bricked HTC One m7vzw (Verizon)

So I got carried away with trying to get rid of that three dot menu button at the bottom of the screen and I've slowly managed to work myself into a really bad problem. I'm not necessarily new to this, I've rooted my Droid 2, Droid 3, and GS3, but this has been more complicated for me.
Anyways, my problem is, I was trying to wipe my phone so that I could flash a ROM. This is because I couldn't access my settings (I overwrote the original in an attempt to get rid of the multitask button). But while I was in CWM I factory reset it but I also accidentally deleted the system. My bootloader is unlocked, but now my phone is on and I can't get into recovery, and I'm assuming it's because the whole system is gone so there's nothing to boot.
Another problem I had (while my phone was able to boot up completely), Android File Transfer wouldn't work, I downloaded a rom for the settings.apk but it wouldn't let me transfer files between my computer and phone. I emailed the .apk to myself but since I couldn't access settings I wasn't able to pick my usual email (although now I'm thinking I should have just used the email I first signed in with). Not as much of a concern but input is still welcome.
I've looked up RUU but it looks like it's not available yet for Verizon. Any possible solutions would be MUCH appreciated.
Don't worry, your device is not bricked.
If your bootloader works well, you must select fastboot and flash the recovery via fastboot.exe in the command line. Now you should be able to get into recovery.
If you wiped your partitions, you can have a trouble with mounting /sdcard. Then you should get an OTG Micro USB cable and put ROM on your USB stick, but I'm not sure if TWRP recovery for HTC One supports mounting flash memory from USB host.

I'm stuck on the green HTC logo screen and the red warning about the bootloader. I can't boot into recovery anymore. By the way I'm using a Mac but I do have a PC running Windows 8 if there's solutions I could try

I tried flashing into recovery via fastboot but my computer doesn't recognize my device. And I'm pretty sure I had drivers installed since that's how I unlocked the bootloader in the first place..

Install the latest drivers and try from a windows 7 pc (or windows 8, win 8.1 doesn't work well)
Reinstall drivers if you haven't already and try the correct file for your 'Modelid' here. It's the only way I got mine to work again after i did the same thing.
Note: The file i used had a different software version but it still flashed ok.
After that, if you can find the right Nandroid you now have the ability to flash that

Where could I find a nandroid for Verizon? I feel like Verizon is the most difficult to find.
FIXED
I was finally able to boot into recovery and thank goodness had a CWM backup. Thanks for your input guys.

HELP! Accidentally wiped OS, USB not recognized

I was gonna flash and prior to doing so I accidentally wiped internal memory. When trying to reboot I received a message in TWRP saying no ROM found. Phones does not boot since the OS was wiped.
I'm able to get back into recovery but there is no ROM to flash and Unfortunately there's no memory card slot on the phone. If there was I could have transfer a ROM over to sd card and installed it.
I've tried installing from a RUU file using a windows 7 laptop but I get an error message 170 USB not connected. I'm not sure why its not recognizing my phone. I have htc drivers installed. I have also unistalled the htc drivers, rebooted laptop and installed drivers again with no luck. I have also tried ADB side load in TWRP but adb is not recognizing device, Im unable to push a rom. I just do not get why it is not recognizint my htc one. I'm able to charge it so I assume the usb port on the device is not the issue. Strange, My other devices get recognized through usb.
Any suggestions on what I can do to install a ROM or get my laptop to recognize my phone? The last 2 days I have done reasearch without any luck, I hope someone here can help. If only if this phone had a SD slot, then this wouldn't be an issue as I'm able to get into recovery.
You can use adb to push the ROM to /sdcard/ while in recovery and you should be able to install it from there.

i also had the exact same problem with my sprint htc one... while installing an RUU my laptop showed an error that device is not connected (it was running windows 8.1 x64 i think that was the problem) then i disconnected and connected the phone again it showed "USB device not recognised" and even fastboot could not detect the phone ....
when i switch on the phone it would go straight to TWRP... i tried adb push and flashing through USB-OTG cable with no luck..
but when i connected my phone to my friend's desktop running windows 8 x86... it did not show up in my computer but fastboot detected it and i was able to flash this RUU http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219526 ... and now my phone is up and running...
now first try USB-OTG method, if it fails try flashing RUU.zip from other computer it might get detected...

need help Nexus 6 i wiped everything by mistake stuck on twrp recovery

Hi XDA users i really need some help!!
my buddy is into rooting androids and doing all kinds of stuff to them. i bought a nexus 6 and he rooted it added cyanogenmod and twrp recovery.
I soon upgraded my phone and let my cousin use my nexus 6 cause he lost his phone.
when he gave it back I wanted to erase everything and sign back in to my account so i went into twrp recovery and by accident instead of factory reset i formatted the phone which erased everything. so now it doesn't have anything in the internal storage of the phone.
it is now stuck on twrp if i boot it all i see is the google startup screen and it stays there.
my laptop wont recognize the phone so i cant add cyanogenmod ROM and I bought
did i ruin this phone? anyone encountered this before?
i will ad pictures tonight
Get it hooked up to a computer (update drivers on your laptop if needed), get a flashable ROM onto your phone's storage, and flash in TWRP
Just use a otg cable to hook up usb stick to the phone and use that to install the rom
Preferably, download a fresh stock ROM from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
Then either get the drivers to work properly on your laptop or hook your phone up to another computer and transfer it over to flash. Shouldn't have anything to worry about
I do this all the time. You just wiped the OS and internals and only have TWRP. I do this when I want to complete clear my phone. You can either use an OTG stick or fastboot to flash a new ROM.
No one else here has mentioned this, but you can also use fastboot to adb push a ROM zip into your internal SD card if you do not have an OTG stick.

you can't use fastboot to flash any ROM but the factory image, and you can NOT use fastboot to adb push anything. you can only use adb to adb push stuff. and you dont need to use anything to move a rom into storage using twrp. and I do this every time I want to flash clean.
Yea, not too big of an issue really. Boot into TWRP and like the others said, transfer a ROM and gapps to the phone and just flash those, or alternatively, you can use fastboot to flash a stock image, if you want to go that route and need help with that, pm me and I'll run you through it! We all gotta learn these simple steps right? let me know!

I have a 64gb 3.0 sandisk OTG stick with the ROM but my nexus 6 is not recognizing it so adding a OTG cable in between might work?
Boot into TWRP and then plug into your PC, it should recognize it and let you move files.
thank you everyone for replying!! so pretty much this is what i have tried.
i connected it to three different laptops and none pick up the phone while i am in twrp recovery.
i bought a 64gb 3.0 sandisk OTG stick and put the ROM in their and the phone is not recognizing the external drive.
how do i update the drivers? maybe thats it.
am i using the wrong OTG stick?
Easiest way that's totally fool proof, download the nexus root toolkit from wugfresh.com and click the option to install drivers, then click "step 3" and it will install it for you without getting the full android SDK.

Try a different one if you have it. My Sandisk USB thumb drive to OTG cable does not recognize, but I have an HP thumbdrive that does.

I have this: http://www.amazon.com/LIFETIME-WARRANTY-Electronics-Micro-Cable/dp/B005GGBYJ4
It's basically a microUSB connector to USB. You can connect thumb drives, keyboards, mouses, etc..................I always keep a copy of TWRP and a ROM (dosen't matter what, I keep Pure Nexus) on it at all times. I've had to flash TWRP from my back up once b/c a CM based ROM corrupted TWRP.
What i noticed is that if i am already booted into twrp and then hook up my stick it isnt recognized either. But when i boot into twrp with the stick already hooked up its recognized.

Yeah same here. You either need to plug in first to get the phone to recognize it then go into twrp. If it doesn't then do a soft reboot to the rom then reboot into twrp agaib
