Im a knucklehead - Formatted entire SD card - Sprint HTC One (M7)

all my Rom zips and backups are gone. How can I access my internal SD card to copy a ROM over to it then flash?
I have no OS installed so it wont boot into anything except TWRP recovery
step by step instructions greatly appreciated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: This is how I fixed my phone
I used the AIO toolkit to "Flash My Own Recovery" after I downloaded CWM Touch
http://goo.im/devs/Flyhalf205/M7WLS/Recovery/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7wls.img
I flashed CWM then booted into recovery and selected sideload
I used the AIO tool kit to select my ROM of choice and it installed perfectly
I am now in my phone and able to access my internal storage

Connect to PC, the copy over to storage on phone. Boot into recovery and install.

PC doesn't connect to internal storage unless completely booted into a ROM. I have no ROM installed. Just plugging my phone in to my PC doesn't open up my storage

Did you plug the phone in and let it install drivers? i'm assuming you're running Windows 7/8.
EDIT: Did you try ADB to see if computer recognizes phone? You could flash rom this way if it does.

Ive had the phone plugged in many times and all drivers installed. When I plug it in now, my PC makes that noise that something is connected, but I don't get any prompts to install drivers or notifications that a device is connected.
If I try to boot, it just stays on the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen and goes no further

no I haven't. What is ADB?

Are you trying to get into recovery (Power/vol down)?? If you can't get into that you need to use fastboot (ADB) to reflash recovery so you can access your internal. I'm guessing you know how to do this since you already had it. If not, lemme know. I can try and give step by step to get it back.

I can get into recovery no problem. I can even view whats currently on my internal storage (which is nothing lol) but I just need to connect to it to copy a ROM over

Ok, I gotcha now. Sounds like the drivers aren't working between the phone & PC.
Goto HTC and download HTC Sync, sorry can't cause I don't have enough posts to show link.
Leave phone disconnected and let it install. Then try again. Report back.

Kinda a novice here but you did say you formatted the SD so I would ask how? But more importantly to what file format? fat32?
Not even sure what it is supposed to be but in trouble shooting this I would make sure the SD is formatted correctly. Just saying...and sorry for butting in here.

There is a format option through TWRP (wipe/format data) that formats EVERYTHING. So whatever TWRP formats it as is what it is.

Downloading the required files now
will this uninstall my recovery and unroot me? Is this a complete stock flash?

so I got these commands to work
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
but when i try to run the last command
fastboot flash zip c:/lol.zip
it just says
cannot load c:/lol.zip
and it has been renamed to lol.zip and is at the root of my C drive
my phone is currently on the black HTC screen

Try it without the c:/

[Q] No root recovery aymore

Dear Forum,
I have a I9001. I've been busy with it for a week now and read and tried allot. Nothing seems to work!
So , my I9001 doesn't have a recovery any more. No root or CWM. The rom works (2.3.5) but crashes or freezes. Then tried every
combo in the book to get into the recovery mode but nothing works.
So I ask you biggest android forum of the world: What the hell is going on??
Tried to get into recovery by recovery boot by pc, tried installing other roms or kernels or whatever.
Also getting a mmc boot mbr read failed when trying above stuff by odin.
Also when I shutdown the phone and I start it up again then it has to be installed again like country and date etc etc...
Thanks in forward for answering.
Greetz,
Happybeat
But download mode still working? Then you could try to flash the recovery via Odin again or a stock Rom, AFAIK those contain the stock recovery as well so afterwards you'll have a "fresh" installed phone... Might work, no other ideas...

Well if your phone is in such a "bad condition" I would download my stock Rom from sammobile and flash it via Odin, then it should be "factory fresh". The only thing that is annoying is that you set up your phone again...

Ok ill check that out. I'll let you know.
Well I tried and nothing. It says that it passed and that odin did its thing but it didn't.
Is there a program that can do a clean install? Or cant I just clean it when I hook it up to a pc? Because I have access to the internal memory of the phone by pc.

Sorry for my late answer!
stock I think. This is every info I have on the phone:

That's it...
Ok...this is strange...I just connected it to my pc and have access to it...but when I deleted something what was in download it says delete permant I say yes...when I restart it and connect it back to the pc and go to download its back??
Sorry don't know any solution but I'm quite new in here so maybe you can post it into/revive this thread because the Q&A is (in my opinion) not well visited by I9001 users because it's meant to be for i9000.

Thats the problem. There is no way of getting into recovery mode. I can get into download mode but not into recovery mode. It's like it is vanished.
And I dont know if someone from the mods could put this into the 9100 section? I thought I had to put questions here since there isn't a Q/A for 9001...

You can do a factory reset over the dialer on a stock Rom by entering a certain code, you can look it up in the xda wiki about the I9001

Yep did that. Doesnt work. The thing is also that I cant change anything. Everytime when I reboot I need to install again. So it doesnt remember. Same when I connect it to the pc and I remove a file from download that I do not need it doesn't remove the file because the next time I reboot its back. It's like the internal is locked?
I can't find a good page with an explanation, so I'll just type it out myself. If anything isn't clear, ask!
You can try getting into recovery mode using the Android SDK, maybe that could work...
Install the latest version of Samsung Kies if you haven't already (for the USB driver)
Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) You'll need just the SDK, everything else is useless for this
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK (basically you'll run the command cd "<folder>", where folder is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk")
Start your phone and go to Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB debugging (if it's not there, just find that option and enable it )
Connect your phone using a USB cable
Go back to your command prompt and run the command tools\adb reboot recovery
Hopefully your phone will boot in recovery mode
Good luck!

Ok so thank you for this but unfortunatly it just didnt work. I think it is dead. Does Jtagg do any difference? Like hook it up to that machine?
So what it does at this moment:
It starts up but everytime you start up it will ask you to install everything again. So it asks what country etc.etc...
When I am in it appears to work but starting apps just makes it all crash or freeze.
Im a bit lost at the moment to do anything. It just looks that it doesnt memorize.
I can hook it up to the pc but you cant remove or add anything. You can just look and scroll through it.

Im having this same issue, after trying to flash android revolution on my unlocked/rooted rogers One, it froze on the successfully installed part and I had to wait for it to die to try to restart it.
I cannot boot into recovery or connect it to my computer in any way, ./adb reboot bootloader doesnt work it says cannot find device.
When I vol down + power the bottom lights just blink and the phone does nothing.
Any idea on how I can reflash the phone?

I have this same problem as well.

I'm on TWRP Recovery but how to I reinstall the boot.img and fix the phone and put it back into factory settings?

Cant flash anything in recover HELP !!

I bricked my phone LOOOL 2nd time on my 2nd htc one FML back on topic I have no OS installed I know the basics like how to flash roms and stuff Ive been trying to flash ARHD 10.2 and 9.3 they both fail at 10% and ends up rebooting the phone out of no where ANY HELP!? like **** MY LIFE
Extra info :
I wiped pretty much everything in twrp and cwm i used both to wipe clean my device i cleared cache,internal memory all that crap.
EDIT:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318947

First, don't worry, while you have access to HBOOT , your phone is not a brick.

At the momment only CWM works and it rarley even works not to mention aroma installer SUCKS ****ING BALLS the 50th time I sideflash a rom and the phone restarts when the installer reaches 10%!
Unfortunately I don't know as in CWM, in TWRP there is such feature as ADB sideload , by means of it you will be able to load and flash the file saved on PC to phone.
And second one, you can connect your flash card with OTG-cable to phone.

dont worry, if you have a nandroid everything can be fixed.
First you need to check if your computer recognizes your phone, go into recovery, and then in command on your computer type "adb devices" and see if it shows your phone. If it does, youre fine and you just need to "adb push (nandroid name) /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/(nandroidname) and then you can flash it.
If it doesnt see your device, read on.
The reason your computer doesnt read your phone is normally a drivers issues. Heres what you can do to get your computer to notice your phone.
download the file from here and extract the whole FOLDER to your desktop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996051
1. boot into recovery
2. connect your phone to the computer
3. go to device manager, just search for it
4. In other devices, there should be something called android phone, open it, and choose update drivers
5. instead of letting the computer search for the drivers, choose the second option to choose your own
6. choose the folder, the whole folder, and your driver, and click install
Now your phone should be recognized by your computer, and you can go ahead and push the nandroid to your phone.

How do push a file via TWRP on this phone?

well, I did something stupid and wiped everything, including the 2 zip files needed to flash the KK rom for Tmobile..
my twrp is working fine; is there a easy way to transfer the 2 zip files back onto my phone via twrp?
thanks!
Does adb work in or twrp? If so it's just
Adb push ZIPNAME /sdcard

I dont know; there is an adb sideload command in twrp, but it doesnt seem to do anything; Plus I am not sure if my phone is connected via adb..
I know I have the right lg drivers on my computer, but when I run any adb command, the phone doesnt respond.
Honestly I think what you need to do is restart and just lgflash JB then you can just access your sdcard

you can say that again; this is the first phone that I have had in a long time without an sd card, and it was "mental muscle memory" that made me wipe everything..
Now, my phone is viewed as an F340k, since that's what the twrp on this phone is based on, so I wonder if I would have a problem using lg flash...this is a tmobile phone, but it might "think" its an f340k..
If I can flash the drivers for a f340 on my computer, then I might be able to adb sideload via twrp..otherwise I am not sure what will happen.
I have been leaving my phone just sit in recovery, as I dont know what would happen if I shut if off, and rebooted to system..
Hope its not brick city for me..
Well try to go to download mode and flash stock. You should be able to get back into recovery again if needed.

.I have downloaded drivers that "should" work, but its a WHQL win driver from LG, and it doesnt seem to have the proper drivers to enable my computer to "see" the phone in ADB..
Not a happy camper right now..
Maybe a usb otg would work if you put the rom.zip on the flash drive. There is an option to mount USB-OTG

I dont think that would help because my phone isn't being "seen" by my computer, while in twrp recovery
If I could just find the f340k driver by itself, without the WHQL "bundle", I think I could get it to recognize the phone, and then transfer files on to it..
I've looked everywhere, and cant seem to find that driver by itself anywhere..
Not sure but it worked on the similar G2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492911 sorry just read further in that thread and you may be right. sorry
I can get into download mode, but I cant get the lg flash tool to see the phone either...any suggestions at this point?
thanks
EDIT:
How can I boot to recovery at this point?
When I hold power and down, I get a screen with all Chinese writing on it, and my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..Power and up gets me the same thing..
another guess. I know with windows 7 the only way I could use fastboot was with the pdanet drivers otherwise my phone wouldn't connect to the pc. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-drivers-adb-and-fastboot-android-phones-tablets/
thanks, but the computer still doesnt see the phone..
do you know how I can get the phone into recovery at this point?
TWRP should still be on it, but I cant get i to boot into twrp.

I have been trying that; the problem is, that my phone now "thinks" its a f340k, and not a d959
I have been trying to install drivers so my win 8.1 machine can "see" the phone, so I can run adb sideload, but for some reason, I cant get it to "see" the phone in ADB..I keep getting a message in the command prompt, "device not found"

I've been trying all day to do just that, but my phone isnt being seen by my computer..
I think the problem is that my phone is a d959 tmo, but, the freedomflex recovery installed,(twrp) has changed my phone to a f340k, and I cant get any drivers to recognize the phone, so without that, I can't do anything with it..
Since the last working thing was TWRP recovery, is there a way for me to boot into twrp at this point?
All I can do is get in download mode, or another mode which shows all Chinese text/language on it, with my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..
Otherwise, I will have to ebay this thing, and hope someone with more dev skills than me can restore it somehow..
thanks!

Sigh, Im an Idiot after all these years with android. I accidentally wiped everything

So I rooted my phone HTC one verizon m7 with sunshine and towelroot and it worked. It has been awhile since i flashed and installed roms.
So I installd TWRP and roms , The rom wouldnt work and it would go back to TWRP. and I Forgot to back up/nandroid then i panicked - Accidentally wiped everything...now I'm stuck in TWRP with nothing in it. NO rom's no back up .
ADB sideload gets stuck trying load in TWRP or mount wont recognize on my computer. Please help. Will gladly donate if I can gee this fix in couple hours
Install this recovery http://mdmower.cmphys.com/download/317/?version=2.8.1.1
Then connect the device to your computer and you should see the storage connected as MTP. Copy your Rom to it like you do normally and flash. Maybe you must wait a little before the storage appears connected to the computer.

There is no need for donation. If you want to donate give it to some poor people in your area our to the devs of the Rom/kernel you are using.
