[Q] HTC One Frozen And No OS! Help!

So I have a question I hope someone could help me with. Ive searched forums videos, cant seem to find out what to do and possibly hope my phone is not bricked. I wanted to root my htc one and followed the procedures to unlock the bootloader install twrp and then install superuser. Everything seemed fine till I accidentally erased evewrything in TWRP including the OS. Now the bootloader shows no os and running an RUU gives me an unknown error or wrong version error. I do have s on and cant seem to get that off either for the RUU to work. I am familiar wih fastboot but not adb and am completelt stumped on what to do right now. Can anyone of you smart techs help me get this issue resolved. Thanks for reading.

You can't use this RUU because its a downgrade. Downgrading require S-OFF. You will need to flash a custom rom or s-off your phone to be able to use this ruu,

You don't have to extract the zip file, just make sure it is in the fasatboot folder.
You don't flash a rom using fastboot!!! You must use a custom recovery i.e TWRP.
Boot your phone in recovery mode then
Code:
adb push <name_of_rom>.zip /sdcard/
then in recovery select ''install'' browse the sdcard and find your rom.zip. select it and swipe to install.

Your are using sideload the wrong way!
Code:
adb sideload kitkat.zip
NOT
Code:
adb sideload [COLOR="red"]KITKAT[/COLOR].zip [COLOR="red"]/sdcard/[/COLOR]
your file name is kitkat.zip so why do you type KITKAT.zip in the command prompt !?! You don't have to type /sdcard/ with sideload, only if you decide to use adb push !!
Code:
adb push kitkat.zip /sdcard/
So again use either adb sideload or adb push, not a combination of both!
ADB SIDELOAD:
boot your phone in twrp recovery, select ''Advanced'' --> ''ADB Sideload'' --> Swipe to sideload
then when your phone is in sideload mode open your command prompt and type:
Code:
adb sideload kitkat.zip
Wait until the transfer is complete, then reboot your recovery and install the rom.
or:
ADB PUSH:
boot your phone in twrp recovery (main menu)
open the command prompt and type:
Code:
adb push kitkat.zip /sdcard/
then choose "install'' and browse your sdcard to find ''kitkat''.zip. Select the file and swipe to install.
EDIT:
And why is adb inside a rom folder? Where is fastboot? You obviously don't know how to use fastboot and adb which is the base.
You really have to make some reading, you don't understand what you are doing. Stop and take some time to read this:
Read this to understand ADB and FASTBOOT
Read this for adb push and adb sideload instructions

[Q] How to I use twrp to flash a new rom (adb sideload not working)

I bricked my HTC One, totally not my fault I received a prompt to upgrade and then the thing crashed. Its stuck on the htc screen.
I tried finding a RUU file for my phone, couldnt get one that matched. Now I have installed TWRP, which works. My Bootloader is unblocked and says tampered also s-on. there is no os in the phone now so its ready for flashing a new rom.
I want to get my phone back in order. I've downloaded a custom rom I could use, wanted to ask if this is the same as using a ota file from the htcdev website ?
When I try to use twrp i cant use sideboot to push the roms, it just says trying to connect and doesnt, so I think adb doesnt work.
Can someone put me in the right direction or help out ?
I'm a complete newbie and have come far by unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp, would really appreciate it if someone can help.
Also tried using the option to find the file on my computer from twrp on my phone but it doesnt connect.
Everything is all set up I just need to flash a new rom and get going.
Thanks !

The rest of the steps after you have unlocked bootloader
flash custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.3 from here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
rename your rom to rom.zip
then in TWRP / Advanced /Sideload - Slide to sideload
Then from PC - adb / fastboot folder ...shift+right click /command prompt here
then it's
adb sideload rom.zip
at the end of sideload install will begin
just be sure the files you flash and sideload are all in the same folder as fastboot and adb

Please stop right here and spend a few hours doing research before you brick your device for good.

I have same thing happened before, adb not working, I don't know why, try use a USB OTG, put the rom zip on it, then connected to your phone, flash from OTG, it will be OK!

I dont have a USB OTG Cable, are there any other options ?
Is there a way of getting files on to the sdcard using fastboot ? tried using adb but dont know where I'm going wrong. It connects 'starting on port...etc' then when i run push commands says 'device not connected'.
Updated all the drivers and everything still no luck. Sideloader from twrp doesnt seem to work either.
I have the rom I want to use and a ruu file which i have tried to flash, its comes back with something like ' remote failed: 24 parshing etc'
Any help would be great !

Sorry, I face the same problem, l am not skilled enough to solve it, if you want flash a rom buy a USB OTG!

Sideloading
I'm sort of in the same boat. My m7 got into a bootloop after an OTA Lollipop update attempt.
I tried flashing files (RUUs) with fastboot but there always seemed to be technical problems that stopped me from doing that (noob).
So I decided to try the custom recovery route. And although I've been learning a huge amount in the last week I haven't really got my head around the TWRP basics.
So, considering the incredible amount of knowledge on this website I'd like to try to clear some issues up. All I want is a standard working phone.
Previously during my 'fastboot' adventure people were talking about RUUs. Are they still relevant when it comes to sideloading?
And where does TWRP come into it if ADB is 'pushing' the file accross? What is it there for?
What kind of
I'm 'unlocked' but s-on, is that an issue? Does the phone need to be rooted?
So, in a nutshell, now that I managed to put TWRP on the phone (very pleased with myself!) how does that make it easier for me to get my phone back to serviceability?
Loads of thanks to all the whizz kids out there.

No. RUU is a package including the rom (software) and the frimware (hboot, stock recovery, radio, kernel, touch drivers etc.)
RUU.zip are flashed using fastboot
RUU.exe are flashed automatically when laucnhing the .exe (the application handle the required fastboot commands automatically)
When speaking about adb sideload or adb push, the sidelaoded or pushed file is only a rom (software) unlike a ruu (software+firmware). The rom can either be custom or stock (e.g ARHD custom rom or a stock guru reset rom)
And where does TWRP come into it if ADB is 'pushing' the file accross? What is it there for?

ADB is used for the computer to communicate with the phone and in this case, to copy the rom from your computer to your phone. ADB doesn't flash (install) the rom on your phone, its only transfer the rom to your phone memory. TWRP is a recovery system, think of an alternate OS you can boot to perform basic tasks like installing rom (flashing rom), backups, restore, file manager ans few more.
BTW with newer versions of TWRP, you don't really need ADB to transfer (push or sideload) the rom to your phone. TWRP now support MTP protocol which mean you'll see your phone as a removable storage on your computer (like a usb thumb drive) when booted in twrp so can simply drag and drop the rom from your desktop to the phone memory.

The interesting thing is that the download was about 1.7Gigs but the unpacked files aren't remotely close to that so something doesn't seem to add up!
Brilliant assistance, I love fiddling with this stuff but so far drawn a bit of a blank with this one.
BTW I put TWRP on yesterday so I assume it's the latest version.

What is the file name of this ruu? You should not be able to open the ruu.zip because they are encrypted. You could try to relock the bootloader and flash the 7.18.206.2 ruu.zip posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944. instruction how to flash in the same thread.
or
You can restore this stock backup using twrp then you can reflash the stock recovery and download the latest ota update.

boot in twrp, select "backup" then make a backup of "boot" only (this is only to generate a backup path on your phone: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/DATE_OF_BACKUP). Once the backup is done, navigate to that folder and delete all the files in that folder, but do not delete the folder and then take all the files in the backup you have downloaded and copy them to this folder (/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/DATE_OF_BACKUP).
Go back in twrp main menu, select "restore" and select the only backup available. Wait for the restore to complete and reboot.

Thanks, I'm on the case now. To be sure, the file that you specified starting /sdcard/ is different from the file where the phone just made the back up files.
The only file path I can access on the PC is Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055.
Is this correct?
I assume that references to an sdcard in file names is just nominal or a partition of the main drive.
Just like to be 100% clear.
Ah, I discovered that there is a file manager in TWRP! I now see that Those files are in the folder that you specified correctly.
However, when I go to the backup folder there is no file available. Are the files from the nandroid zip to be extracted first or is the zip file supposed to be copied whole?
I tried both methods and there is still no file to be seen in the restore window!
Have I done something wrong?

Yes on your pc you'll see Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055\date_of_your_backup\Backup_files_here
On your phone its /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/FA36PW918055/date_of_your_backup/Backup_files_here
Make a backup of boot only, then using your computer navigate to that folder (Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055\date_of_backup) and delete all files in this folder and replaced them with all files from the backup you have downloaded. Then in twrp select "restore" and restore all partitions of this backup.

Sorry for the late reply, glad to know that you have managed to restore the backup. To be able to install ota update you'll need to flash the stock recovery over twrp.
Stock recovery for your version can be downloaded from this link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646670
save it in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer and flash it like you did for twrp:
reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode then open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery M7_UL_Stock_Recovery_6.14.206.2.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Once rebooted in the os and the stock recovery flashed, you can install the ota updates: settings --> about --> Software info --> check for updates.

Really thought that was the end of my One but it's incredible what a bit of perseverance does for you.
I'll give that update a go, maybe now I have the confidence to experiment a bit more with the phone.
Thanks again!

ADB sideload is Failed :crying::crying::crying:

help me please

I am kinda trying to figure out the same issue, I will post a reply in here if I get it working. I think from what I have read you might need to relock your device and flash an appropriate RUU in fastboot usb using the apropriate adb commands. I am a newbie though and still learning the android architecture so I would wait for someone more qualified to respond. If I get my device back to a stable ROM I will update you on the steps I took!

adb push?

tell me please

"adb sideload", while convenient, is less reliable than the old-fashioned method of pushing to /sdcard and using TWRP to install it. For this to work:
- TWRP must be installed (2.6.3.3 or newer).
- If not installed, make sure the bootloader is unlocked and install it with "fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img", then clear cache just to be safe.
- Boot to TWRP through the bootloader using volume/power buttons (look for instructions online)
- Use "adb devices" to make sure ADB is working and detecting the phone
- Use "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"
- If the push fails, make sure you are typing the correct path/filename to the ROM zip you want to install.
- If the push fails with an error about can't write or "no such file or directory", your data partition may be corrupted or not mounted (or maybe even out of space). You can solve this within TWRP. The most drastic (and most effective) solution is to format userdata, but you'll lose everything on the phone. There are other ways to solve this, but it's a case-by-case thing.
- If you try something to fix the "push" and want to try again, make sure /data and /sdcard are mounted (in the TWRP mounts section).
- After "push", you should check the md5sum of the file to make sure it hasn't been corrupted (check to see that it agrees with the md5sum on the download page). If there is no md5sum on the download page, ask in a forum.
- The command to check the md5sum for ALL zip files on /sdcard (because this is accident-proof) is:
Code:
adb shell "md5sum /sdcard/*.zip"
- Then you can "install" the normal way, using TWRP, without sideload.
Depending on which step fails, there are different things to try to fix the problem. If something fails, please provide ALL details of what you did, and all details about the error (write down the exact error message). If the error is in your TWRP usage, get the "recovery.log" file, which you can copy to the computer with
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the ROM that most people seem to use (also the one that looks the most like the stock ROM) is Android Revolution HD. Note that there's a bug in the installer: if you don't have the newest firmware, you should choose "Wipe Data" when the Aroma Installer asks whether you want to wipe data. For some reason this is not the same as a factory reset in the TWRP menus.

You can use fastboot to wipe all those partitions. Fastboot erase system.....cache...etc. then format those ones in twrp

Out of Options and Ideas - Need Help Please [Boot Loop][Soft Brick][Solved!]

*UPDATE*: The issue has been resolved. Read through for more details.
So I plug my HTC One (Model: HTC6500L) into my PC to transfer some SSL certifications to my phone. However, before I can manage that HTC Sync says Verizon has an update for me, which I found odd anyway. Against my better judgment I go ahead and try updating. Phone restarts multiple times during the update, nothing abnormal. I check back on Sync's progress once I notice my phones not loading the update anymore and it says it failed. Now whenever I power my phone on it goes through the htc android white screen and then . . . does nothing. It just stays on a black screen until I force power it off, which actually just makes it reboot and do the same thing (looping). Here's the kicker, my PC no longer recognizes my phone and the recovery and factory reset options in the bootloader don't work. I've erased my cache and formatted it from a half working recovery screen, but it won't actually recover anything.
So, my question is can I somehow recover my phone to factory settings using fastboot that I'm not aware of? My bootloader is locked and it's a VZW phone so yea. It's also running HBOOT 1.61. I'd be more than happy to use sunshine, but I'm under the impression that the phone has to be usable before I can use sunshine to unlock my bootloader. The phone was completely stock before this.
Not sure it helps any but I can contact my phone using fastboot usb and here is the getvar all:

Lol, I was actually doing just that search, but there were a few so I was unsure. However, the copy/pasting link worked. Thanks!
I'll update later and letcha know how it turns out.

Code:
error: preprocess_file : Cannot open file RUU.zip
I downloaded the file you linked me, didn't extract it, just renamed it to RUU and threw it into my adb folder. Also, yes I'm using htc_fastboot, just didn't rename it. However the first command oem rebootRUU did work and now my phone is just displaying a black screen with htc on it.

Can you post a screen shot of your command window and a screenshot of what's inside your c:/adb folder?
When youve renamed the file to "ruu" did you add "ruu.zip" or just "ruu" ? If youve type "ruu.zip" then your file name is now RUU.zip.zip (double file extension). Windows is hiding file extension for known file type by default. In the command windows, try to type "fastboot flash zip RUU" then hit your TAB key and it should auto-complete the file name.
If you need to exit RUU mode you can simply use "fastboot reboot-bootlaoder" to go back in booloader or "fastboot power off" to turn off the phone.

Sure! Attached both screenshots.
At first I did make the mistake of adding .zip when I renamed it. When it failed the first time, it clicked; "You idiot, you just named that file RUU.zip.zip . . . " and so I changed it to just RUU. However, as you see it failed again.
Edit: Hitting TAB didn't finish the extension. ._.

Was the md5 value good?
It should be 574ed7acdcf77263ac60943e2f001d2a
Try to type "fastboot flash zip " then drag the RUU.zip file and drop it to your command window and hit enter

Well either what you suggested worked or what I did worked. I dragged and dropped it like you said, but since I was clearly specifying the location before, that shouldn't have made a difference.
So here is what I did; since you mentioned the md5 value I just wanted to check the properties of said file to see if anything was out of the ordinary (never checked the md5 btw). That's when I noticed under the "General" tab in "Properties" at the bottom next to "Security" it states the following:
Code:
This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer.
This is followed by a checkbox that says "Unblock". I'm attaching a screenshot just for visual reference of what I'm describing. Finished following the guide, rebooted to bootloader, then rebooted. Currently in the middle of the upgrading process.
Again, thanks for all your help, and maybe I've contributed a bit as well. Not sure if that security feature is a default setting for everyone or not, but it's nice to have documentation of it!
Final update: After rebooting and as the phone was optimizing apps, the UI failed (SIM wasn't inserted at the time). So I basically just had a tablet. Powered it down, inserted SIM ran factory reset again and now my phone is functioning at 110%!
Again, big thanks to alray for his guidance and support along the way.

the easiest way its do make a folder in the root. ei: htc, and move everything inside.
now in cmd navigate to that folder.
C:/htc
enter command.
might be worth to download unlock code again but this is usually a path error.

i have rooted now and am trying to s-off so i used rumrunner but its giving strange messages
hmm, cap is on tighter than I expected........
hell, that damn cap is on REALLY tight.......
unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2 options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner (preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix this issue for you!!!.
Better luck next time!!!!bye
Press ENTER to exit
what do i do now and where do i get this file from?

not sure what you trying to do anymore as you are replying to your own msg.
best way too root its to flash super user yourself.
as for S-OFF i think sunshine its the only option, but not sure anymore.

i am trying to take S-OFF
so i thought by flashing with a older flash will fix it
i have downloaded a rom and tried to flash using
fastboot flash boot boot-signed.img
it took less then 2 seconds to complete
phone rebooted but stuck on HTC
i have tried volume down and power but its not doing anything
i think i have only flashed boot and not the rest of the files
please can u advise how to unbrick this ,
phone has twrp recovery but i cant get into recovery.
thanks

ok. you only need S-OFF if you trying to put a different firmware. For ROM's you dont need it.
you need to flash TWRP again as the boot.img deleted it and because you dont have a ROM its stuck in a loop.
any ROM will have over 300-500 MB. Be sure you use a tested compatible one.

try this
remove USB cable
Turn off your device
Then, press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
Once the screen goes black, release the power key but keep pressing the volume down button.
Release the Volume down key only when fastboot mode is being displayed.
