(SOLVED) M7 UL won't root, Unable to mount /Data /Cache

Hey guys,
My HTC One M7 UL (PN07120) is driving me nuts. I was trying to obtain root so I proceeded to unlock it through htcdev and did it sucessfully. My phone can boot normally. However I cannot root it. I checked to see whether it had damaged partition tables and got no errors after using the mkfs.ext4 solution. I tried installing several RUUs but when they don't failed with the "incorrect RUU" error, they just don't go past the "getting header 1/5)" step of the process.
I have explored several threads with issues that might look like mine, but they end up not being. I will post my getvar info and the names of the RUUs I've been using hoping to find someone kind enough to give me a hand.
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Post a screenshot of your bootloader
The RUU's wont install because your S-On and it will only allow same version or higher
the RUU you require is this one...
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M...5_signed_2.exe
However since your bootloader is unlocked, you could flash a recovery and root from there..
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Put the recovery in your adb folder and from there
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then enter recovery and make a backup of your rom.
when you exit TWRP, you will be prompted to root your device

How are you trying to root, and how does it fail? Please provide all the detail you can.

It just doesn't root because the files (su.zip or superuser.zip) are not to be found anywhere thanks to my inability to write /data. I am going to try @bored_stupid approach and see what it does.
EDIT:
I had flashed this recovery before with success. The problem is it says "Unable to mount /Cache" or "/data" whenever I try to either backup or install a rom respectively. It does offer to install Su.zip when exit, but it fails to do it because when I check it with root requiring apps, o root checkers, they all say the same: No Root.
EDIT #2:
I was able to install a custom rom!!!!!! All problems got fixed after @bored_stupid approach. Thank you very very much. However, before trying the custom rom I did try to install su.zip when exiting TWRP and, differently to the other tries, it did partially write (confirming that /data was finally writable.) I couldn't, thou, install the Binary when phone booted. I will be trying some other roms and have some fun with the device.
One again. Thanks a lot!!!

Glad i could help
It might be worth downloading the RUU too, Just in case you ever need to go back to stock.
Enjoy the new freedom rooting brings

Its on the first page. You should be able to flash it like any other ROM. I don't think there's any reason why you can't flash old ROMs.

but i don't get a message that SU permission is granted on the screen, although no errors what so ever, and the SuperSu is working correctly. it didn't ask me to allow the pc neither. weird.
EDIT:
Ok i seem to be having a problem with SuperSu, it doesn't work, i tried reinstalling it and reinstalling TWRP as well, nothing. you didn't have to reinstall the SUPERSU somehow?

My phone was on 5.03.651.2, rooted.
4. Unlock your bootloader again. <<< mine was unlocked
5. Flash TWRP. <<<< already had TWRP
6. Copy the 4.06.651.4 stock rooted odex rom to your phone. <<< Flashed this through TWRP, all fine.
7. Flash that rom <<< Done.
8. Run Firewater. <<<< firewater did not work. after checking a few things i realized the SuperSU isn't working properly
9. Profit. <<< No
PS. maybe he meant DEODEXED, and not ODEX??

Help Me Please ASAP VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

Hi, im a complete newbie and recently decided to change the ROM on my HTC One M8 Sprint (Unlocked, Rooted, S-ON) phone. This phone was rooted and had ViperOne M8 1.8 Installed in it when I acquired it. Few days ago, following some threads I made a Titanium Backup, a Nandroid backup (Uncompressed) and then tried installing CM12 in the phone. It showed an error saying bootloader 3.18/3.19 is needed and I have 3.16. I then tried to restore my Nandroid. It shows success but then gets stuck in a bootloop. It is now soft-bricked, and I cannot get any ROM to work. I tried installing ViperOne 2.0, it shows success but doesn't boot. CM12 is also showing the same error and ViperOne is not working. I really need to get this fixed ASAP please help!!!! I dont know how to update the android also!!!!
HTC One M8
Harmon/Kardon Edition
Sprint
Android 4.4
Unlocked, Rooted
TWRP v2.7.0.2
Btw, I had a custom boot animation that I had flashed, and it still plays. Just FYI.
I wanted to install a ROM with android 5.0.x and keep my phone up to date and was frankly bored with the old interface!

Try updating your twrp

I really dont know how to do that. I am a newbie!

Welcome to the thread on Kali NetHunter for the HTC One M8.
If you don't know what Kali NetHunter is, well, it's the entire Kali Linux operating system in a chroot on your phone, plus a bunch of awesome apps for executing exploits, fixing things, doing cool things. It goes on, I suppose.
I'm gonna be honest guys, I'm not a security person.
What I do know though, is that there is apt-get, and apt-get is life.
Find much more information here.
The answer to all your questions, generally the answer is YES, IT CAN DO THAT.
The updater zip will add a few files to your /system partition, and install all of the NetHunter apps to your /data partition.
The chroot is located in /data/local, so you don't have to worry about your system partition being full. It's full read/write capable.
Understand that the zip will replace your current kernel with a completely different one.
This is necessary because most stock or custom kernels don't provide the drivers needed to operate most of Kali NetHunter's features.
DOWNLOAD
Lollipop:Current version: 3.1.0 (stable, 2016-04-29)
Marshmallow: Current version: 3.1.0 (stable, 2016-04-29)
Marshmallow with chroot to kali-rolling: http://www.mediafire.com/download/e6zoxhrn9zcv99h/nethunter-m8-marshmallow-kalifs-full-v3.1.zip
Kernel: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
BEFORE INSTALLING
Please make sure your phone boots fine and runs fine before flashing NetHunter.
The Kali chroot and apps are installed on your data partition (in /data/local for chroot). To initialize the chroot and install Kali Linux, you need to start the Kali NetHunter app.
The NetHunter installer will automatically install SuperSU in system mode, which I consider to be more stable. Since NetHunter already modifies your system partition, there is no need to use systemless SuperSU anyways.
FULL FRESH INSTALL STEPS
1. Flash Lollipop/Mashmallow Firmware
2. Make sure that you are on Lollipop/Mashmallow
3. Flash nethunter-m8whl-lollipop-kalifs-full-v3.0.zip/nethunter-m8-marshmallow-kalifs-full-v3.1.zip
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy
Change log:
06/14/2016: Version 1.0 for lollipop
06/15/2016: Version 1.5 for marshmallow
06/30/2016: updating chroot to kali-rolling (MM only)
SCREENSHOT
DEVELOPMENT
For the kernel included in NetHunter for the HTC One M8, you can find the sources here: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
See the Kali NetHunter installer source here: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter
See the Kali NetHunter app source here: https://github.com/offensive-security/nethunter-app
It is powered by idleKernel, however none of the idleKernel scripts (ikconfig, usb control, kernel tweaks) are available by default. I recommend installing idleKernel zip (non-NetHunter) from the idleKernel thread and then flashing the NetHunter updater or kernel installer over idleKernel. You will then have all of idleKernel and Kali NetHunter's features at your disposal.

Interesting, and thanks for the contribution. But I have a couple (hopefully constructive) questions:
1) Why Lollipop firmware at this point (when MM has been out for a while now)?
2) I'm concerned about the file name "nethunter-m8whl-lollipop-kalifs-full-v3.0.zip", since "whl" typically refers to the Sprint Harmon-Kardon variant. Not sure how much difference this makes, but the Sprint (CDMA) variant uses a different kernel from the "international" M8, so it may make a difference.

Wait for MM

My question didn't post... odd.
Is there a specific HTC Rom required? GPE/Sense?
I read a bit about this team, it seems they have they support MM on other devices, perhaps this one as well?
OP, maybe add their homepage as well? I see the github, but I found more information here as well.

Lol, can you please elaborate on which one? There are so many. Does it matter which version? Does it need to be the sprint HK stock rom? Can it be modified by anything else? I'm not sure what all this modifies, but if any stock based rom will do, it would be sweet.

So any Sense ROM? I'm not so much worried about the device, more the rom. What files are modified in the rom itself?

Goodafternoon!
This is pretty cool!! Thank you so much!
Installed on MM build, seems to work fine!
Will report back in a few days! I also own a Pwnpad (Nexus 7), This is to compare!
Well Done!
Regards,
Justin

Try updating TWRP (Thread here) before ruling things out. That is a very outdated version at this point and probably would say the same thing if you tried to install a ROM. Newer versions of TWRP handle MM files.

[Q] Assistance getting out of a bootloop to recovery, S-ON, CWM, HTC dev unlocked

Hello,
Yesterday I decided to try and install lineage OS, I wanted to see if a custom ROM could make the phone more responsive.
I unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev method, and installed CWM. I used CWM to do a backup. Next, I tried to install SuperSU from CWM, however once the process finished the phone would boot to a black screen. In an effort to fix it I tried to restore the backup from CWM, but now it just boots into CWM recovery.
I've been blindly wiping caches, doing factory resets, trying to install the lineage ROM but I haven't had any luck.
Unfortunately, I don't really know what I'm doing anymore so I've come here for help.
My problem seems similar to what I saw in this thread from a short while ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/htc-one-m7-s-htcdev-unlocked-twrp-t3756375
but I don't want to risk making things worse.
I seem to be able to use fastboot and adb commands. The adb shell su command indicates I'm not rooted.
fastboot get var provides this:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.61.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4T.35.3218.16
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main:
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) serialno: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(bootloader) imei: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0712000
(bootloader) cidnum: BM___001
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4013mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-eff4f609
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
At this point I'm just looking to get any working ROM installed.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

What are the version of your CWM, Supersu and lineage on your phone?

I tried to install SuperSU v2.82
CWM is v6.0.2.8
Lineage is v14.1 unofficial, installing it from zip causes errors and the installation is aborted.

You cwm is outdated. If I remember correctly you must use at least cwm 6.0.4.8 or TWRP 2.7.1.1 so your recovery kernel support fstab. Latest twrp is 3.2.1.0
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/m7/
Update your recovery and try to flash your rom again.

That seems to have fixed it, thanks!
I doubt I would have ever figured that out on my own.
