[Q] Htc One BRICKED.

After only four day of having this phone i managed to brick it. I would really like to know if its fixable or if i have a really nice paper weight. Im stuck on a boot loop, I was half way through flashing a rom when it suddenly shut off. Now it will not boot up. I can load into the bootlader but when i try to go into recovery it just sends me to fastboot. When i restart the phone i can see the old recovery (TWRP)for just an instant but then the screen goes completely black. If i plug in to my pc, nothing happens my computer detects it but it says y device is damaged nd it cant identify it. PLEASE HELP Am i out of luck?
Ive looked around but i couldnt seem to find anyone with the same problem as me (Sprint Variant)

Good news it's not bricked i would put this question on the rom thread someonethere sshould be able to help

There's a Sprint One forum as well, so hopefully you found a ROM on there!

I really hope so because on a college budget i cant afford another phone D:

Seen this in a couple of other places. Seems certain recoveries are possibly becoming currupted during flashing a new ROM.
What you need to do it get back into fastbboot, and....
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
the re-flash your recovery, boot into recovery, full wipe and reflash your ROM.

Can you flash recovery in fastboot ?
the safest thing to do is relock and use a matching RUU to get back to stock

Your phone isn't bricked. There are two tools in this forum that can help you. One is made by hasoon2000(I think that's his user name), and the other is jwtool(I think). Use them to help to flash a recovery if you don't know how to use fastboot.

Edit: Just got done typing the stuff below and saw you can't connect to your device in fastboot? What do you mean by re-installed driver?
Don’t worry, as long as you can still get into hboot your phone is not completely bricked!
The fastboot commands I referred to need to be carried out on your laptop/pc when you phone is connected in fastboot.
Can I assume that as you have already unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom recovery you are already familiar with this and have your computer set up for fastboot commands?
(Apologies if you already know some of this, best not to skip parts out though!)
I’d start with downloading a fresh version of your chosen recovery, and place it in your fastboot directory ready. I’d also do the same with your ROM.
Like you have already done, boot into fastboot. Connect your phone to your pc, and the red text should change to ‘Fastboot USB’.
Then open up command prompt and get to your fastboot directory. (On Windows 7 you just find that folder in Explorer, hold shift and right-click, then choose ‘Open command window here’.)
To check your pc is talking to your phone, type ‘fastboot devices’. You should get a device serial number back if all is well.
Then type ‘fastboot erase cache’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot erase recovery’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery].img’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot reboot recovery’ and hit enter.
Hope fully you should successfully boot into recovery now. Once in recovery, mount USB storage and copy over your fresh ROM. Choose to do a full wipe including cache and dalvik, then reflash your ROM.
Reboot.
Let me know how this goes.

I used the hasoon2000 to flash TWRP earlier, but my problems is that my pc wont recognize my phone. When i plug it in it and try to re-flash it it cant find it. When i check my devices it shows up as an android device but it says the drivers are damaged. if i could get it to read it i think i should be eable to reflash somethint.
I APPRICIATE ALL THIS HELP. i really am trying to be as specific as possible :fingers-crossed:

Hey so just a thought and experience I have had with all my HTC phones is when you see that quick glimpse of the TWRP recovery screen then it disappears to an empty black screen......you are sometimes still in a form of recovery but during your Rom flash something (i don't know for sure) changed and it doesn't show the screen only black. So with that long explanation out of the way....have you tried once the screen goes black the
"adb devices "
Mine whenever in this situation would return the output of serial number and recovery so then you can push or sideload the Rom and boot into the system at which point your fastboot drivers will finally be recogniZed.....
Hope this helps a little

I'd say the next step is to re-install your drivers in the SDK. Open up your Android SDK and reinstall them. In Windows Device Manager, find your connected device (probably now with an exclamation mark on it) and right click on it and select 'Update Driver'.
(Assuming you are using Windows 7 here?)

when you are in fastboot, connect your phone using the usb cable, and when you see "fastboot" written in red turned into "fastboot usb" or something like this, do the commands below using cmd window of course :
1) fastboot erase recovery
2) fastboot erase cache
3) fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

(Win8 but the procces is identical.) All my drivers are up to date. Still no love.

On the dev forum is a thread that includes all the latest drivers (including an app to remove older drivers.)
Find that thread, download the drivers and bmp and driver removal tool. Remove drivers with tool, install the new drivers, reboot, connect phone and see if 'adb devices' finds anything.
Also make sure you're using the latest adb.

Can you reboot into recovery again and enter to fastboot mode?

Can go between fast boot and the Bootloader menu but if I hit reboot, it just comes back to Bootloader. If I pick recovery it just flashes for a second and comes back to Bootloader. I am S-off btw.

ok so the guide walks me up to the point of installing fastboot for unbuntu using a couple cmd lines but for my specific situation will I need any files saved in specific locations? I have never used Ubuntu or Linux before so youll have to bear with me.

Ok so im in Ubuntu, I think I have the guide pretty much figured out, but It still doesnt want to detect my device. I installed ADB according to the guide, but "sudo fastboot devices" comes up blank and the phone only says "fastboot" not "fastboot usb"
entering the command to flash CWM gives me the same waiting for device message. I have tried multiple USB cables as well.

the phone has to say FASTBOOT USB, otherwise it's a problem with the port (phone/PC/cable).
ubuntu doesn't have driver issues, but when you connect your phone to the PC, it has to change from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB.

It doesnt change, so then its likely something with the system partition as it relates to the USB port? Because the port was working fine until the failed flash. But what it sounds like is this is a brick?

doesn't sound like a brick at all, as long a hboot (ie bootloader is fine) no brick should be involved.
but i have to call it a night, hopefully someone will be along shortly, and take over... (timezones ) take it ease, DO NOT PANIC, DO NOT RUSH things!!

Cool, all your help is greatly appreciated. So I should hold off on the trip to the phone store?

Any other ideas to get communication to the phone?

Different Computer, USB Port, and USB Cable. Without saying FASTBOOT USB on the phone, can't do anything.

There's no need to make multiple topics, my friend...
Remember that the TWRP IMG file must be in the same folder as your Fastboot files.
So, you can copy TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img file to the directory where your Fastboot is.
Or, you can type the directories correctly. For example, if your TWRP2.8.0.1 IMG file is located on your Desktop:
So, your command should be: fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\"username"\Desktop\TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img
Instead of typing, you can also drag-and-drop the TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img file into the CMD window.
Got it?

Fastboot and recovery are two different things. If you can get to Fastboot (bootloader) mode you should be able to flash recovery from there as stated by rafaelbrunner.

Hi Guys !
I'm facing a problem on rooting my Moto G 2014.
I've easily unlocked the bootloader but i can't flash the TWRP recovery.
I've read everything I could read about the process and I think I'm doing it the right way (the recovery file in the adb folder, etc...) and everything seems to be ok.
I've just a purple line at the end of the TWRP flashing procedure saying:
Mismatched partition size (recovery)
This post says that it's not really a problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48294073&postcount=6
Then, when I reboot the recovery, the phone reboots and the system starts normally (instead of restarting with the custom recovery ?). When I switch it off and switch it on in recovery mode, I still have the stock recovery.
Tried several times with TWRP 2.8.0.1
I can't say if it's because of a problem with TWRP (it's said here that it is buggy) or because I'm doing something wrong that I don't succeed.
I saw that there was a 2.7.1.1 release of TWRP for Moto G 2014 but it's no more available anywhere for now. I would have liked to try it...
Do you know if there's some known issues about flashing the Moto G 2014 recovery or can you help in any way ?

Hi guys !
I'm still investigating my problem and still trying to root the phone.

Hi !
Thanks for your answer !
What do you mean exactly ? I didin't have any "old Moto usb drivers before". I installed them for the first time few days ago to unlock my bootloader.
Do I still have to uninstall these drivers (that are not that old) and install again the same ones ?

You can use "adb reboot recovery" only if the phone is turned on in normal android os ( in bootloader mode it'll only recognize fastboot commands ), and you must be sure also to have debug usb option enabled under settings/developer settings.

I'had enabled usb debbug, no problem about that.
I"m not sure I understand what you mean when you say that the phone has to be " turned on in normal android os". I thought that the device had to started in recovery mode to install TWRP.
I tried to install TWRP with adb reboot recovery and with the phone turned on in normal android os.

Adb is one thing, fastboot is a different one.
If you give a "fastboot command" from the command prompt the phone must be in bootloader mode, instead if you give an "adb command" you must have the phone normally turned on.
Having said that, I didn't understand what's your problem... are you tryin' to boot into recovery mode or trying to flash twrp recovery?
It seems that you already flashed/installed a custom recovery ( TWRP ) from what you wrote, isn't it?

No, you're not
You already did the installation of the custom recovery since you said that you received this message "Mismatched partition size (recovery)", now from bootloader menu you should boot into recovery ( volume down to scroll thorugh the options and volume up to select ).
If it won't boot maybe you should check the md5 of the downloaded recovery .img, probably it's a corrupted download.

When I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader (what I already did before), the screen turns black, 1 sec later the led switch on for half a sec and nothing else happends.
So, as you say, the recovery I downloaded was maybe corrupted. I'll check.

Guys, I've found the solution !
I think everything was ok from the beginning. The only thing that I did not understand was that I have to press vol- in fastboot to focus on "recovery" and to press vol+ to launch the recovery.
I didn't read it anywhere, i just see this in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr14wNgazOw&hd=1 (see at 7"15).
Anyway, thank you for trying to help me and see you soon for all the good things coming for this phone !

You're right... my bad

Is it possible to access files / pics via fastboot only?

Hello All,
I have following issue and hope that - if possible - someone can help me. I also would like to mention that I am not an
Android expert but did read a lot of articles here in the forum to find out - or better - to get an idea how things are working.
My Z3C had a water damage. Now I only get fastboot mode. Display is broken and does not show anything. I installed Android-SDK
to get ADB and Fastboot. I installed also drivers.
When I connect the device while pushing the "volume down" button the device manager show me a somc flash device with the "volume up" button I see an Android ADB Interface device. However ADB is not working (no device found) only Fastboot does.
I flashed the "Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105.img" with Flashtool via fastboot in the hope that I can somehow access
to "sdcard" by blindly navigating to "mount storage" but nothing seem to work.
On my linux device I see that the usb device is recognized but that it is not an mtp device.
Before I continue to spent hours without really knowing what I am doing I thought that if there is a solution I would find it here.
So if there is any way to get access to my files / pics on the device I would be really glad if someone can let me know how or
at least bring me to the right direction.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks for your reply clouds5.
I followed the process to unlock the bootloader (got code from sony side and unlocked via fastboot with
"fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY").
In Flashtool, when I click on the "BLU" Icon I get a window with with my IMEI and my Unlock Code and a
Relock Button. So I assume that the bootloader is unlocked.
If there is another way to verify please let me know and I will do.

no you cannot access files via fastboot only. but isn't it possible to flash custom recovery img file and boot into recovery and access files?

I flashed "Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105.img" from doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=WjNjX0Rvb01Mb1JEX0FkdlN0a0tlcm5lbF92MDFfRlctMTA1 with
fastboot flash boot Z3c_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_v01_FW-105.img
in the hope that it is possible but after rebooting it immediately goes into fastboot again. As I do not have
a screen I can not see anything - so I can not really confirm if it works or not - and in windows I do not see
anything either..

That's unfortunately not an option as I had to disassemble the device

no you cannot access files via fastboot only. but isn't it possible to flash custom recovery img file and boot into recovery and access files?

Should sdcard appear automatically when booting into recovery or are there any specific steps I would need to complete?

Problems Going Back To Stock Rom

Hi,
tried to go back to stockrom using this article (2. guide):
https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/howto-flash-a-stock-zui-rom-zuk-z2-pro-z2121-only.57/
When I write adb reboot edl in the command prompt and klick enter, nothing happens in QFil, the phone makes a normal reboot und goes to startscreen.
What's wrong?
Regards Robert

its an and*

sorry, doesn't work. Can't boot into EDL and not into bootloader too, even the phone shows unlock status.
May be I made a mistake when flashing other baseband and kernel??
Flashed this kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/pro-plus-f1xy-kernel-t3866779 and this baseband https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/radio-modem-basebands-zuk-z2-pro-t3715835
The phone works with RR 6.2.1 but makes some problems, i.e. with Titanium Backup and skips pin-query for simcard. So I intended to go back to stockrom and then start once more from the beginning.
