[Q] I've bricked my M7 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I had Android revolution installed on my M7. I've started to play with TWRP recovery and I've bricked my phone. It's now turning on straight to TWRP recovery, even if i will choose to boot system. Can you help me fix it?

What have you done exactly from TWRP? Wiped /system? Tried to flash a rom? Formatted /data?
download a rom and push it to you internal storage and then flash it using the "install" function in twrp recovery. You won't be able to flash lollipop rom on this phone because the firmware installed is to old.

i don't know how to do this. i can't find software for ORANG001. maybe i can install some custom ROM?
If the phone will be working fine i know how to do s-off, change cid and flash it with stock rom.
Is there any other way to gain s-off except rumrunner?

Your on hboot 1.57. There is only one way to s-off 1.57 and thats Sunshine app. Which cost £25. But before you can s-off you need a functional rom on the device.
You can use this http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_84.0.zip
Download the rom and put it in your fastboot folder and rename it something simple like rom.zip.
If you have twrp 2.8.5.x you should be able to enable MTP in recovery then just copy the rom strait to you internal storage from you pc and install it.
Older versions of twrp don't support MTP in which case you will need to adb push the rom to your device. Instructions below
With the rom.zip in your fastboot folder. Open a adb/fastboot command window. Boot the device to recovery and connect usb. Check adb is working by typing
Code:
adb devices
if you get the expected out put push the rom with
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete. When it's done install the rom with TWRP.

thank you for your help. I've managed to copy rom file using 'push' option Hopefully it will be working fine now

Help Flash From Fastboot after Wiping all

SO I wiped my whole internal memory after creating a backup of my rom and trying to flash a new one. I quickly press to wipe and I guess i picked to wipe my internal memory too. So now I have No OS on the phone and nothing on the card to flash.
I tried ADB Sideload and all i got it was can't mount system, and cach..Samething happens if I try to backup or mount
I tried to send my zip file through fastboot with the "fastboot flash data " command but at the end I get a failed bootloader checking and I tried the same with system and nothing happen or I count find my zip file when I went back to recovery.
SO can someone help me fix this ? or Is there an RUU i can use?? my phone Hboot is 1.55 and came with Android 4.3 so idk if any old RUU will work
Oh and ADB dont some to work ...I get an error telling that it can't find devices.

I have had the issue of ADB unable to find devices. Don't know if this will help you, but has worked for me. Make sure phone if powered off. Hold the volume down button and press and hold the power button in order to boot into bootloader. Then plug your phone into the computer. You should see the screen change to Fastboot USB. From my experience, that is where you need to be.
YMMV. Good luck.

If you want to sideload you'll need TWRP recovery. Here's a guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318497 I myself had trouble finding my device, but than I uninstalled all the HTC drivers I had and installed the "universal naked driver" from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
I have the exact same thing I can't save a ROM to the device to flash it anymore I just want it to go back to stock I don't want root anymore it never works. My bootloader version is 3.04.651.2 which is too high to use the RUU installer. I can't mount the storage to use any of the S-Off Tools to downgrade it. I can't even push files using adb. All because of a ROM....

If you dont have a custom recovery make sure you flash one thru bootloader, fastboot. Regardless of you Hboot or bootlaoder number, you can get it unlock at the htcdev.com website. then you have to flash TWRP recovery. After doing then go to recovery....Don't do anything yet, make sure that you computer recognizes your phone. THATS the mistake I made. Open device manager and look for android USB devices if its not there then you need to install the adb drivers. If its there then on TWRP recovery look for adb side... I think its under advance .... then open the command to tour adb folder and type "adb version" you need at least 1.0.21 or higher. then type adb sideload name of rom.zip

Stuck in recovery. sideload doesnt work

I opened the bootloader via htcdev. then i flashed costume recovery and rooted my device. all worked fine.
After flash the latest ARHD from stock Orange rom the phone stuck in the second htc logo.
i flashed boot.img and then the phone stuck in the first htc logo.

lesson one, copy your stock backup to your PC - don't just leave it on your phone
adb only works when your in recovery or booted to OS
Kitkat roms require s-off flash an older version of ARHD like 31.6
sideload the ARHD31 from TWRP and your PC
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload rom.zip
make sure rom.zip is in the same directory as adb/fastboot
ADB Push from Recovery - If Sideload Fails For You
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/

[Q] HTC One M7 reboots to recovery after flashing custom rom. Can anyone help?

Hello.
I tried to flash a custom rom on my phone with s-on. I followed the instructions that told me to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it first and then the rom as I had s-on.
But after flashing the phone reboots into recovery. It doesn't go in the system. I can't get the internal sd to mount in the TWRP recovery as well. I tried CWM too but was not able to mount the internal memory.
As I have s-on I can't even flash the stock ruu and because it doesn't go into the system there is no way for me to check USB debugging. I'm screwed.
Can anyone please help me ?

you haven't read the rules :/
first you don't have to flash the boot.IMG separately on HTC One, just flash the ROM via recovery
second it is impossible to mount your SD card in recovery
try sideload

It said in the flashing instructions that if the phone is s-on you have to flash boot.img first.
My phone is s-on so I flashed boot.img first. Now it boots into recovery instead of system.
Also my phone is not detected by adb. So I can't use sideload. It is detected by fastboot but not adb
How can I make it detect adb?

no ROM for HTC One requires flashing boot.img first while on S-ON
uninstall your previous HTC drivers and HTC Sync Manager, restart your PC

Okay I was able to flash the RUU and go back to stock but the phone keeps rebooting
It goes to lock screen and after I swipe to unlock, it is stuck on HTC logo until it reboots back.
Even when I flashed any custom ROMs the same thing happened.
It went to lock screen and after unlocking, it gets stuck on HTC logo.
What can I do?

Need Help!!

Ok. I search the forum and regarding the NO OS installed problem mostly on Android 4.3/4.1/4.2. But mine is Android 4.4 kitkat. This happens when I Wipe Data using TWRP 2.6.3.3. after that it said no OS installed. I tried adb push ROM.zip/data/media/0/ and adb sideload ROM.zip. Both are not working. I getting ''cannot read sideload'' error. My device is still S-On. besides using the S-Off method, is there any other way to push the zip file to my internal storage? I can access to recovery but cant push the zip to the storage for flashing and im kinda confused about the S-Off and RUU thingy. Help me please. Im on Android 4.4 and HBoot 1.56 before everything happens. Running ARHD 51.0 Kitkat Rom + Elemental X kernel. Now everything's gone.

[Q] Only boots to bootloader or recovery, no fastboot

Hi guys. I recently flashed a boot image via the Flashify app, which had worked in the past. After it flashed, I chose to reboot. Now my phone boots to the bootloader. I can't get fastboot to recognize my device on any PC (which is why I was trying another hboot). I can boot into recovery (cwm touch for now) but restoring roms etc. fails due to "no files found". ADB detects the phone in recovery. Can I repair my phone via adb without fastboot? I had a recent cwm and titanium backup on my sd card.

are those computers all windows 8? There some issue with windows 8 and fastboot. better to use 7, linux or mac.
you can restore a backup or install a rom using adb, no need to use fastboot (except for recovery, RUU and firmware flashing)
you can transfer a rom to your sdcard using adb from custom recovery:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
I recommend you to use twrp 2.6.3.3 instead of cwm (required for arhd rom i.e) when you get fastboot working again.

I am stuck in the same boat - I can't use fastboot., but I need it to flash a new recovery before updating to cm11. I don't have access to any Win7 computers to use, only have Win8.1. Are there updated drivers for the HTC One yet? Or any way to get fastboot working properly on Win8.1?

windows 8.1 doesnt work with early hboot version like 1.44 and if irc 1.54.
if you can't access another computer, use a live cd of ubuntu 12.04 32bit (no installation required, only boot from the disc or from a bootalb usb drive) and use fastboot from there.

So is it possible to upgrade my hboot to 1.55 (currently 1.54)?
EDIT: Ok, actually, examining things, it looks like this should work:
a) Go to Ubuntu for fastboot, flash new recovery
b) Back to windows, into recovery, wipe everything, push ROM over using adb, clean install of cm11
c) new cm ROM will include updated hboot so fastboot will now work in Win8.1
....that seem logical/like it should work to you? Thanks

yes except c)
a rom doesn't update firmware so hboot will not be updated by flashing a custom rom. If you want to update hboot you must do it via an ota update, a complete ruu install (higher version) or manually flashing the firmware using fastboot. with s-on, you must use signed firmware only (the correct version for your device) and you bootloader must be locked or re-locked to flash it (s-on)

Wow, ok, I think that sounds like far too much effort to just update my phone. Guess I'll use the ubuntu fastboot trick once, then just hope I never need to flash anything from fastboot again on this phone. Why is it always such an effort with these damn things? Thanks for the help, won't have a chance to try this for a couple of days but doubtless I'll be back with some other failed horror scenario then.

Yeah, that's pretty much the extent of what I knew, but I really appreciate your response. I did manage to get my old Win7 laptop running and with some effort got all the drivers working. I used htc1guru reset, but sadly I did lose the entire contents of my SD, despite its message that nothing would be touched. :-/ Luckily, most photos were auto-backed up by G+ and it's just a few settings and such that I can't get back or figure out. Least of my concerns after having a functional phone!

Hey, so I'm trying to do this, have got linux up and running and fastboot recognizes the phone, but I couldn't flash the recovery image as the terminal couldn't see it. What location does it need to be in within linux? I put it on the root of the usb drive and it wouldn't work from there...

the answer is always the same, in the same folder you have adb in.
so in ubuntu it should be androidsdk/platform-tools/
