[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.

I was finally able to boot into recovery and thank goodness had a CWM backup. Thanks for your input guys.

1. Just flash it with RSD lite
2. Flash lastest TWRP and flash anhy ROM.zip
P.S. If your PC can`t see phone on TWRP-MTP-mode - try to mount data on TWRP and look to drivers

i have all of these on my pc and don´t let me make anything!!

SlimReaper, relax, don't freak out. You have all the tools you need, you just need to know how to use them properly.
Can you still get into TWRP? If yes, then if your phone can be detected as USB storage, how about copying a ROM zip file to it while it's connected as USB storage and then boot into TWRP and flash the ROM file that you just put on it? Otherwise you'll have to flash with your computer using RSD lite like the other guys suggested.

usb storage isn't what you are looking for

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 tried an otg stick that i have its 64gb 3.0 sandisk ultra and the phone does not recgonize it.

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

[HELP] Bricked phone while updating to Pie

So, I tried to update to Pie.
I was on Stock Oreo rooted without encryption.
Wiped everything except sdcard, installed Pie and the boot img for encryption fix.
Rebooted to TWRP, flashed the zip from verity fix, flashed latest Magisk.
Rebooted to system, stuck with the dots rotating.
Tried to redo it again, adding the step for the firmware flash.
But when wiping i accidentally wiped sdcard too, so I have no more the required files inside TWRP.
Tried to connect both TWRP and bootloader via adb/fastboot but phone is not recognized.
All the drivers are installed it always worked before (Win7).
Now everytime I try to connect the 3T to PC it says Unknown Device in Device Manager, but all the drivers are installed.
Apparently the phone is not sending its data, because in device properties i see VID & PID = 0000.
Trying to manually attach a driver to it (with right click, update driver) gives error, no driver available for the device (using any adb drivers .inf).
So basically now I'm stuck with a phone without files in it, but with only TWRP working.
How can I send the rom files without adb/fastboot? Any trick?
I also tried to use USB OTG from TWRP but apparently any usb stick is not recognized.
Tried different USB ports and different cables. Seems like a problem with the phone usbC port, not sure.
It's an hard brick at this point?

Just go with the Qualcomm factory restore mode/tools. Turn off phone, hold volume up while connecting phone to PC, install the drivers for the Qualcomm 9008 device and then run the factory recover tool. You can find out all this in the factory restore thread, just make sure you have the 3t and not the normal 3 as they have different firmwares for the hardware.

Format the device in latest TWRP and reboot it back to TWRP then connect the USB cable to PC. It should ideally recognize your 3t. I never had any issue while recognizing the phone in TWRP menu.
if nothing helps, the final step is obviously try he Qualcomm factory restore mode/tools.

I already tried that too. It always appear as unknown device, even with that method.
Just to be clear, I never had problem before and I already used TWRP mount and fastboot/adb to load files without having a running ROM. I was always able to move file with any of them.
This is different, it seems like an hw problem, the phone it's not sending his IDs when connecting to CP so the PC can't identify what it is even if drivers are installed.
Now, I'm not sure if the problem lies in the physical USBC port or if the failed Pie upgrade ruined somethin in the bootloader or something else.

Then I'd say broken USB cable, have you tried with another cable or a shorter cable?

Tried many cables, ports and PCs.
I also tried to clean the port with a wooden stick without luck.
At this point i believe it's the usbC port or the motherboard.
I think something at the USB MTP level went faulty, because charge works fine (dash charge too).
I just can't transfer files anymore. Not even with an OTG dongle.
Since there is no other way to trasnfer the ROM zip (network is not available inside TWRP) I requested an RMA and tomorrow OnePlus send a carrier to pick it up for repair.

I have not still updated the device. I am on custom ROM. After reading your problem I am scared to install it on my device.
I think it is better to go to stock completely with locked bootloader with 5.0.8 and then accept update. After that, I can unlock the bootloader and root the device.

i just recently had this problem dude, not even 20 mins ago, find and use a diffrent usb cable/port or if u have a usb hub use that along with ur new cable, it finally worked after hours of countless tries

Don't worry, if the USB port is working you can always recover. Just be sure your PC recognize the device first, in case anything happens.

I've been trying for the whole day with 5 different cables, 4 different PC and every usb port of them. I just didn't try with an hub because i don't have one, but i don't think it makes any difference. Anyway the phone i ready to be send for repair now.

if that's ur lat hope, go for it, but the specific cable i used was a belkin usb cable from walmart, u should also update ur adb drivers, if i could id let u use my pc lol

Nah its not the cable or drivers, I test roms every 1/2 months and always been fine with uploading files with adb, fastboot or MTP. Nothing changed. Must be some hardware issue.
Oneplus already sent me the shipment code and i'm waiting for UPS to pick up the package today.

Can I root my Note 9 withouth a pc?

Hello guys,
I think the charging port of my Note 9 is a little bit damaged, because I have tried multiple pc's and multiple cables and the phone will only charge and is not being recognized as a device on my pc's.
I would like to flash TWRP on my device to flash a custom rom after... But the official TWRP app in the Google Play Store is not showing an TWRP image for the Note 9 to flash.
Is there a possibility to get TWRP and eventually a custom rom on my device, withouth using a PC?
Any help would be appreciated!

no.
u cant use a an app that would theoretically need root to accomplish flashing a ccustom recovery on a non rooted phone.
regardless, u need Odin or heimdall or any app that can access the device via usb. search and read.
( u need samsung android usb drivers on the computer. )

Thank you for your reply.
I have used Odin a lot before for different phones. I've installed the correct drivers onto my pc's and used different kinds of cables to check if that was the problem, but the phone only goes into charging mode, when connected to a pc. I have read that a buggy charging port can actually cause that problem.
I think I do not need root to flash a custom rom. Flashing a custom recovery would be enough, I think? Correct me if I'm wrong. There is a mobile version of TWRP (the app) that could actually flash TWRP on a phone via the app. But the problem is that the TWRP app doesn't support the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
I'm trying to figure out if there is another way to flash a custom rom onto my phone. But I need a custom recovery for that...

im saying that ud need root if the twrp app could flash roms within android. which implies ud have gone through the rooting process which has to flash twrp. plus i think the twrp app is just a downloader more than anything else.
anyways can you get to dl mode?
put phone off , hold bixby and vol down and while holding down the 2 buttons plug the cable from the computer

To rule out the charging port, grab the OTG USB adapter that came with the phone and see if you can get a flashdrive to show up in the phone.if you can't, the it's for sure the charging port .

There are no dumb questions I have tried to put it into file transfer mode, but the option isn't available when pressing the notification in de statusbar. It only shows that the phone is charging and the phone goes to the battery settings when pressing the notification.
Also, I've checked in developer settings, and I set the USB configuration to standard: File transfer.
