I got this used HTC one. I had google edition ROM on it when I got it. Then I flashed AR HD Rom on it. Everything was going fine till I decided to flash the latest firmware since I wanted to go to ARHD 30 and everyone seems to recommend to flash the new firmware.
I was going thru the normal steps and saw that I need to relock my device. I did this:
C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) mipi display off
(bootloader) mipi_dsi_cmds_tx_ext
(bootloader) pm8921_vreg_disable function, vreg_id = 38
(bootloader) pm8921_vreg_disable function, vreg_id = 1
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642044 (0x1FDDFD7C)
(bootloader) Use PSHOLD to reset device.
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 1.110s
After this I noticed that I had relocked written in fastboot mode even though it said failed. So tried the next step:
C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem rebootRUU
...
(bootloader) Start Verify: 3
OKAY [ 0.036s]
finished. total time: 0.040s
C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
sending 'zip' (28338 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.566s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 5.843s
And any step that I try it fails. The most unfortunate thing is I can only boot in fastboot & bootloader mode. I can't go in recovery neither can I boot normally. These are my phone details:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.44.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.18.3263.15

(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
getvar:all FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.057s
I looked up online tried flashing recovery but now any step that I try to do in fastboot fails with following message:
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
I saw in some places people mentioned to use RUU. Not sure what it is but if some one can point me to a correct RUU or let me know any other steps it would be greatly appreciated. My phone is almost bricked now since i can't go past fastboot/bootloader.

You have no idea how lucky you are. Before you do anything, get S-OFF using revone. Just go into CWM (or re-flash recovery) so you can use adb. Once you have s-off, follow my guide :
This guide requires S-OFFImportant
*** If there are files you need to keep, you can always use adb pull to get them out before hand (let's say a nandroid backup or something important)
This guide assumes you have knowledge about how adb and fastboot command work and that your HTC drivers are up to date.
I am in NO WAY responsible for any possible damage that may happen to your phone, I am only trying to help
Start your phone in bootloader by typing
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or by other means.
Select "Fastboot" so that it appears in red instead of HBOOT
On your computer, make sure fastboot sees your device, then type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Type
Code:
fastboot erase system
Type
Code:
fastboot erase linux
Type
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Download the new firmware.zip
Type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once it's rebooted on a silver HTC logo, type :
Code:
fastboot flash zip [pathonyourcomputer/firmware.zip]
Wait until it is done on your computer. The green line on the phone will never reach the end.
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reflash your recovery (I recommend CWM). Might as well play it safe.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [pathonyourcomputer/recovery.img]
Reboot into recovery (select the option in fastboot)
Wipe data/factory reset (you will loose everythng)
Select "Wipe Cache partition"
Select "Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Now you have 2 options :
Push (Preferred)
While in recovery, type
Code:
adb push [path/rom.zip] /sdcard/rom.zip
Select "Install zip"
Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
Voila ! You should be good to go !
Sideload (If you can't push for some reason)
Select "Install zip"
Select "Install zip from sideload"
Type
Code:
adb sideload [path/rom.zip]
Voila ! You should be good to go !

@awaitforitb:
I agree with the S-Off part, just check the date of your bootloader it has to be pre June 2013. Also, in order for revone to work you need a functioning ROM (4.1.2... 4.3 will NOT work). Do you have one functioning device, or are you "stuck in bootloader" as the title says.
You could run the RUU found on androidruu http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7, I believe yours would be http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo....20_10.40.1150.04_release_326691_signed_2.exe
That's an exe you run directly from your PC, and it will walk you through the steps, this will wipe your phone completely! and restore everything back to 100% stock.
After that you should get S-Off, and then proceed to whatever your end goal is.
@attanasi0 just a couple of questions, why do you recommend all the "fastboot erase userdata/linux/system/recovery" ?
Also, please remember that when using "fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip", in most cases, you have to do it twice after each other, the first will push the zip and say "failed, flush image again" (or something along those lines), the second flash will actually start the installation and should report success.
I usually use firmwares from @vomer's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 as they have the dzdata files removed, as well as the stock boot.img and recovery.img removed.

You're about pushing the zip at first, forgot about that.
I honestly don't know why I recommend that. I guess it's to make sure the phone is a clean slate and no conflict will be created TL;DR : Paranoia

Remove your IMEI and SERIALNO from your getvar all.
I can't find any files useful to reset your phone back to stock 6.12.161.8 version. You should flash a custom recovery + a custom rom.

Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:

C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom

Might be because your driver isn't installed (should not be the case if you have followed the guide)
or maybe because you haven't enabled USB debugging
Hoewever, just do it manually by holding power and volume down until your phone reboot in bootloader then select "recovery"

yes my bootloader is relocked
So I helped him ( @XFX-Gaming ) via team viewer. Bootloader is S-ON and Re-Locked. We got a fresh Unlock_code.bin from HTCDev.com. The unlock code flash fine and the bootloader unlock screen shows up. When selecting "yes" to unlock, phone attemps to boot in recovery and hangs at the "entering recovery" white screen. When force reboot to the bootloader, still re-locked.
Any idea @nkk71 @clsA @Danny201281 ?
I think we should reflash the firmware in RUU mode but can't find any useful files for his version (6.12.161.8)
So we need the 6.12.161.8 firmware or the 6.12.161.8 ota zip file

Yeah your dead right. Fixed this same issue in the Unbrick Thread just the other day.
Flashing the firmware and getting a new Unlock_code.bin fixed it.

Ok that makes some sense, you probably have a minor firmware incompatiblity that's causing this problem.
Download this firmware zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Rename it "firmware.zip"
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/6.09.401.11.zip
Reboot the phone into the bootloader and connect fastbootusb.
In the fastboot command line type.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
**---case sensitive ---^^^
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When that's done go to htcdev.com and go through the entire unlock my bootloader to get a new Unlock_code.bin then use it to Unlock your bootloader. :good:
The firmware will also restore your Stock Recovery, so after the unlock you will need to flash a new custom recovery.

will ask in the update thread just in case someone have it.
Mike1986 has 6.12.161.5 in his repository but thats the closest i can find

@XFX-Gaming New hope :good:
Hi,
I'm kind of desperate ..
I was using my HTC one, and it crushed and was stucked in the boot screen (the screen where we can read "HTC powered by Android"
Whatever i try, it won't work. I unlocked the phone, installed a special recovery using command line fastboot.
When i try to install a ROM, in the recovery menu i choose "install zip". I can't use "choose zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from last install folder" cause i get a "No files found" message
So i tried the "install zip from sideload". I used adb command line, with ViperOne ROM, and it worked, i obtained the ViperOne install interface, so i clicked next till arriving to the last step and start the install. So guess what ? To perform the install, the phone has to reboot, and it got stucked again in the same boot screen.
I'm really really tired please help!

Hi,
I'm kind of desperate ..
I was using my HTC one, and it crushed and was stucked in the boot screen (the screen where we can read "HTC powered by Android"
Whatever i try, it won't work. I unlocked the phone, installed a special recovery using command line fastboot.

Try again with TWRP 2.8.4.0 and reflash. To flash ViperOne you need TWRP
Installation failed with TWRP, i don't know why, it started the installation and then finally it said installation failed
And now i'm not able de sideload anymore with adb as it always saying no device found ...
I noticed that i always got some error messages in the console :
E: Unable to mount ./cache
E: Unable to mount ./system

What version of adb are you using? What version of twrp have you flashed? Are you flashing the newest viperone?
Twrp : openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-m7
ViperOne : 8.0.0

you will need to clear the unable to mount errors first, especially the system one, only way to do that is select wipe - format data button, be warned though, this will wipe the entire phone, but in your condition, its the only way to get it working again, after the format make sure you reboot back into recovery, it will prompt you saying you have no OS installed, just ignore it and reboot back to recovery anyway (required for the changes to take effect), also, NO to root, then put the rom back on your internal storage and flash it again.
Ok i just Formatted Data
I got this messages :
HTML:
Formatting data using make_ext4fs function
You may need to reboot recovery to be able to use /data again
Updating partition details
E: Unable to mount '/system'
...done
And i'm still in the recovery, the phone didn't even ask for reboot ?!

it wont ask you to reboot, you need to just manually do that yourself
Rebooted, but adb is not finding my device anymore, so impossible to perform a sideload! Since i tried to install viper, there is a problem with the usb driver (see the attached file)

right click - update driver - browse computer - let me pick - android devices (if prompted) - latest myHTC driver - install anyway if you get a warning message.
EDIT: also if your using TWRP 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 you dont need to use sideload, your phone should open up on your computer when you plug it in even when in recovery as that recovery supports MTP
I got an error while updating the driver : "This device cannot start" Code 10

Ok resolved driver problem. Finally succeded to transfert the ROM zip file to the sdcard. Installed viper, and got a succeed message at the end for the first time
But now, the phone is kind of dead!! after the positive feedback after installation, it said that the phone was going to reboot. But since then the phone is off, and i'm not able to get it to work anymore!!!!!!! No fastboot, no recovery, no normal boot, NOTHING!
What's going on ?

hold down the power button, keep holding whilst the captive buttons on the bottom flash about 15 times, dont let go till they stop flashing, this is going to sound crazy but you may have to shine a very bright light into the light sensors on your phone at the same time (2 little dots by the side of the top left speaker).
I use my Mrs camera flash light on her phone to do it.
The captive buttons are not flashing. Before trying to install viper, those button were indeed flashing everytime i hold the power button.
I tried the bright light, nothing changed.
When i plug the phone in my computer, i got the usb sound, and when i hold the power, i got the usb disconnecter sound. But the screen is always black, whatever i try.
R.I.P ?

When you plug the phone in what does it come up as under device manager?

Evening,
I've been desperately trying to figure this out myself but I've concluded that it's too complex for me to go it alone, as it stands my HTC one M7_UL is I believe soft bricked, I can get to the bootloader and into TWRP recovery but I've had no luck with FASTBOOT/ADB, I can sideload a rom.zip but it just fails to do anything after 100%, I reboot it and it just gets stuck on the previous bootloop. Currently have no OS installed and honestly I don't have a clue what I'm doing, exactly why I'm in this mess in the first place, I bricked it a while ago but I figure I wiped system partitions and as a result am in a bad place any advice you could offer would be brilliant.

You should take a few minutes and update your twrp first because there's not much you'll be able to flash with this version and also because newer version will allow you to use mtp instead of sideload (you'll be able to see your phone storage from your computer when booted in TWRP like if it was a thumb drive)
Here is the link to download the latest version (3.0.M5.0) http://android.cmphys.com/twrp-m7/
Save the file in your fastboot/adb folder. With the phone booted in bootloader mode showing "fastboot usb" in red, start a command window and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.M5-0-m7univ.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then you can restore this twrp backup: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646675
To restore a backup,boot in twrp and make a backup of boot.img only (this is only to generate a backup path). Then using twrp's files manager navigate to /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/your_serial_number/date_of_backup and delete backup files in this folder and replace them by the files contained in the nandroid backup you want to use. Then select "restore" and restore all available partitions.

In order to flash the official OTA you need stock recovery. You can't update your phone the official way with custom recovery
HTC One
I followed your instructions, copied all the downloaded files to the Date folder, except the file "system.ext4.win000" 1.5GB. It hangs, won't go past approx. 15-20%. I tried a very similar method yesterday, and the same happened.

So I flashed the stock recovery .img you linked and I searched for software updates, clicked ok and it reboots and comes up with a screen with a phone displaying a green triangle, after a couple of minutes the triangle turns red, I pressed the power button and the volume up button so I could see the error report and I got this:

Looks like the nandrdoid backup was missing the files in /data/preload. When unlocking the bootloader, /data is wiped to prevent unauthorized access to your files. Unfortunately HTC packed a few stock apps in /data/preload so these apps are lost when unlocking. So the person who made that nandroid backup did it after unlocking the bootloader hence why the missing files. Sorry
When installing an OTA update, the updater-script check for all the files to be updated (thousand of files). They must all be there and as expected (not modded or corrupt). If only one of these files is missing/corrupt, the ota installation will abort, this is to prevent patching wrong files and making your system unusable.
This can usually be corrected by restoring the missing files. Unfortunately I can't find the /data/preload files for your version...
Another option would be to update your firmware so you can flash the latest version using a RUU
Download these 3 files and save them in your adb/fastboot folder on your computer:

Ok I'm all sorted that worked, thanks for your time!
I got a HTC phone from a friend and I do not know how to find out the model. Also it does not have an OS on it and I am looking to find out how to install one. I read a few of the threads and could not figure out what the terms meant. Such as OTG, RUU,ADB, TWRP, ETC. So I am not able to follow. Please assist me if you can.
You say it doesn't have an OS on it, so it's basically a blank device that you need to install an OS on.
Th easiest way for us to identify it would be for you to take a photo of it and post it here for us to look at. Once we know what model of HTC you have, we can easily help you get Android back on there.
Or if you can find it on the HTC website, that would help. Or even Google somewhere.

I found that it is an HTC One M7.
Ah in that case, take a look in our HTC One M7 forums: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one
In "HTC language", an RUU is a ROM, which is what you need in order to flash the OS back onto your device.
I haven't owned an HTC for a number of years now, so I can't recall the place place to find stock firmware (RUU) files.
I will move this thread to the M7 Q&A forum for you, so that hopefully someone else can assist you further.
It will probably help if you can let us know which region you are from, as firmware is often region specific. Which country?

We"ll need a bit more info to indentify your phone. If you dont already have adb and fastboot installed on your computer, Google search for "minimal adb and fastboot". You should find an xda thread explaining how to set up adb and fastboot. Once done youll also need to install HTC drivers. It can be done by installing HTC Sync manager from htc's website. Then connect your phone using the usb calbe, boot in bootloader mode (power + volume down). Start the minimal adb and fastboot terminal window and type "fastboot getvar all" (without the quotes. Post the output of that command in this thread (take care to remove the imei and serialno lines before posting).

There is a mismatch between your version-main and your cid/mid. The version-main (firmware version) is an old at&t version but your cid/mid are set to accept t-mobile firmware. That will be easy to fix but first what OS do you want on your phone? The latest official Sense rom (lollipop 5.0.2), latest GPE rom (lollipop 5.1) or latest custom rom (Nougat 7.1)?

From what I understand it originally was an AT&T phone that was switched to T-Mobile. As for which OS. I am not picky so whichever is easiest and then I guess the newest.
Thanks again.

Is there a custom recovery installed on your phone, like TWRP or CWM?
Boot your phone in bootloader mode then select "recovery" and hit the power button. If you don't see "recovery'' that's because you"re booted in "fastboot" menu, in this case select "bootloader" and you should see the "recovery" option.
Your phone will reboot in recovery mode, just need to know what recovery is installed for now. If your phone is running stock recovery you will see an exclamation mark in a red triangle, otherwise you'll see TWRP splash screen or CWM menu. If booting to TWRP or CWM please report back what version number it is.

Good, we can fix your CID and MID first. You can use this guide to write supercid to your phone. WIth your phone in bootloader mode (in the fastboot menu) Start the minimal adb and fastboot terminal then follow the guide from step 9 - 12.
Then to change your MID reboot in recovery and type:
Code:
adb shell
and
Code:
echo -ne '\x50\x00\x4e\x00\x30\x00\x37\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=1 seek=16384
Better to copy/paste that one...
Then reboot in bootloader mode again and confirm your mid is now PN0710000 (your can use the "fastboot getvar all" command)
Download this firmware and save it in the same location where minimal adb and fastboot.exe is installed on your computer
WIth your phone in bootloader mode (fastboot menu) type (the command is case sensitive btw):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Your phone will reboot in RUU mode, you should see a black screen with a silver HTC logo
type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
Should take a few seconds before saying : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately).
So do the same command again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
The second time, it should take a few minutes and you'll see "okay" at the end, then proceed with
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Back in bootloader mode again, confirm your version-main is now 7.19.401.2 (use "fastboot getvar all")
If everything went fine you can proceed to the final steps:
Download this RUU and this version of htc_fastboot.exe and save both files in the same folder where you already have minimal adb and fastboot.exe.
reboot again in ruu mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and once there type:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_458803_signed.exe
The flash should take a while and your phone will reboot once during the process. Once 100% done you can reboot the phone and it will boot in the OS (android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense)

The first step changing the CID worked. But when I tried to change the MID I had a problem. When you say boot into recovery do you mean go into recovery from the hdboot screen? The only way adb can find the phone is from the fastboot screen. here is what I get when in recovery :
adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
And when in Fastboot:
adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
Also, When I boot into fastboot the phone is identified as Android in devices and the HTC Sync Manager finds it. In hdboot or recovery it is identified as "one" and HTC Sync Manager cannot find it.
Sorry for all the difficulties.
Thank you.

try with twrp recovery instead, you can download it from here and as usual, save it in the same folder where you have your minimal adb/fastboot.exe installed
to flash twrp, boot in bootloader mode (fastboot menu)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then select "recovery" and wait for twrp to boot (you'll see a twrp splash screen, then the twrp main menu. With your phone in twrp main menu, you should be able to use the adb commands.
I cannot figure out where ADB is located. The program I have installed allows me to use it from anywhere. Here is what shows up when I open the powershell. Isn't there a way to open the shell in any folder?
Windows PowerShell

I figured out how to start shell in a folder and was able to get TWRP to install. This is what I got.
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes
sending 'recovery' (12756 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.526s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.870s]

******** Did you mean to fastboot format this partition?
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.059s]
finished. total time: 0.061s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.039s]
finished. total time: 0.039s
Now with TWRP loaded I get a message about a partition. DoI want to have a parition??
Unmodified system partition
Keep system read only?
TWRP can leave your system partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. TWRP will be unable to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP and will not offer to root you device.
installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition.
Now when I run code: "adb shell" this is what shows:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
~ # [6n
And it just stays there.

That is exactly what you want, you can now type your commands.
