My current situation is as follows:
ROM on it is bad and bootloops
Storage was wiped for a pure clean install
TWRP 2.5.0 doesn't seem to have any method to mount while in Recovery
As a result, I cannot boot it up to add the good files and I cannot mount it in Recovery to add the good files
I am at work and as such cannot use ADB.
If I can get it to mount, I can copy over the known good backups or just a known good ROM I can flash. There just doesn't seem to be any way to get it to mount in Windows 7 or 8. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your only option now is to run the Stock ruu and return to stock. Theres plenty of threads on this forum that describe the procedure. You should never wipe the storage just for this reason. its much easier and less time consuming to flash a nandroid backup than having to revert back to stock via the ruu. Good luck and I hope everything works out

I managed to find a machine I have sufficient privileges on for ADB. I can now push files to it. Do you know off hand what the path needed for TWRP backups is?

should be /mnt/sdcard0/twrp/backups
but you wiped storage. Can you boot into fastboot? if so you can run the fastboot command
fastboot flash nameofrom.zip
you'll have to place the rom zip in the same directory as fastboot but fastboot should interrogate the zip file and flash the correct partitions

I can get there. The issue is the one zip I have on hand doesn't seem to like being pushed that way. Rather than sit through a gig download I was just going to push a backup of stock I have on hand into the proper folder. At the very least I'd attempt it while downloading a stock+root rom.

ok the correct path according to my phone's file system is /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS
if those files don't exsist you can create them from adb shell
mk dir sdcard
cd sdcard
mk dir TWRP
cd TWRP
mk dir BACKUPS
exit out of adb shell by issuing the command exit

No worries, I'm versed enough commandline wise to know what you were getting at. Unfortunately it seems that random number path for the device chunk has changed since I did my backup(probably because of my wiping and being an overall idiot). The stock+root zip of a rom finished downloading though, so I'm flashing that now. Hopefully that ends this ordeal.
(Edit) Success getting it to be usable again. Now to start from scratch. (/edit)

Hey rogue.... went through this same problem about four days ago, almost blew my brains out because I thought I would have to smash my phone and return it through the best buy protection plan. Anyways... the ONLY way to fix your problem is to use the Sprint HTC One RUU. Boot your phone into fastboot usb mode and run the RUU. Takes about 10-15 minutes, and will have you COMPLETELY back to stock. From there, you need to start from scratch unlocking and installing the recovery. ViperRom is the only rom that won't bug out your sprint phone atm. Also be sure you relocked your phone before you run the RUU. I'm super busy atm and can't go find the RUU links, but google it and i'm sure you can find it. If not, i'll get you the links later if you pm me. Peace bro and good luck.

I know another person suggested this earlier, but failed to mention that sideloading once you're caught in this loop won't work. Run the RUU, unlock, and flash ViperRom.
Boot TWRP, then select “Mount”, then select only “Data” and connect your HTC One to your computer.
Considering you have adb.exe (Windows, part of fastboot.zip) or on Linux:
cd Downloads\ROM.zip
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
Replace ROM.zip with the ROM filename you copied earlier to Downloads (or any other) folder, then install the ROM.
It should be nearly same running CWM recovery. Hope that helps.
Rooted HTC one, no os, don't know how to push rom
I accidently wiped my os while putting a new rom on. I am INCREDIBLY inexperienced with this and really had no business fooling around with it. Regardless, I have the HTC One rooted with TWRP but cant get the new rom on to the phone. I'm on a mac and android file transfer is not recognizing my phone. Any help anyone could give would be great.
Try putting the rom on a usb stick and using an otg cable then mount it under twrp and flash from there?

Hi all. Quick notice:
Usual disclaimers apply.
This is an Unsecure boot.img I made for Android 4.2 on the Nexus 4.
Okay cool... but what is an insecure boot.img?
An insecure boot.img allows the device to be booted with permissions to be mounted as root. This is a way of being able to push SuperSU/Superuser.apk to /system/app and the Su Binaries to /bin
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
See more here: External Link
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To use this you must be unlocked, not familar with unlocking a Nexus device? Easy. In fastboot mode type "fastboot oem unlock" this wipes all data on the device (virtual sd included).
A nice article regarding this thread was published here: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/root-google-nexus-4-install-clockworkmod-recovery/
To boot this boot.img:
must be in the platform-tools folder in the android-sdk
must be in fastboot mode (power+vol-)
First use: fastboot boot "boot.img" (no ")
Why boot? I have not tested this image as I don't have a Nexus 4 as of yet.**
**Some users report flashing the image makes the phone in need of a fastboot stock flashing session, stick to booting for now.
Thank you for helping!

This is mainly for development purposes to obtain root on this device, it will be an easier process when a recovery is published and you can flash a su.zip. (see attached)

That's not quite how it works. These .img files we are talking about are pictures of the stock version of those paritions. Try reading this article for an explanation of Android partitioning.
There is also a great graphic here. The site is in Spanish, I haven't used Google to translate it, but the picture there is in English. Take your time with it, there's a lot of info there.
To get into Fastboot mode, do you just hold the volume down button while powering on? Never used a Nexus device before. Have been strictly on HTC up until now. I'm picking up my Nexus 4 in the morning and don't mind trying, as long as there's a way to undo anything in case something goes wrong.

Or you can enable adb and
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
The command
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
is temporary. All it does is boot, one time only, the image you specify. Once you've mounted system as rw however, everything you do in /system before rebooting is permanent.

So does adding the su binaries and the superuser apk give you permanent root after this then?
And exactly what binaries are needed to gain root? I've never gained root using that method before so am a little unfamiliar in this territory.

Woops, wrong thread.
Yes, if you push the su binary from a superuser flashable zip to /system/bin/ and chmod 0655, plus the superuser apk, you will have permanent root after.
Also, there is a recovery.img now, so you can test that out, if it works, flash it from fastboot, then flash a superuser zip from that recovery.
Thank you for getting it (recovery.fstab), looks like someone beat me to it though!
Sorry for late response I have to sleep as I'm in last school year
Ill cook up a recovery just to make your efforts worthwhile
It's in OP, its probably 99.9% the same as the other guys so i'm not going to make duplicate thread, use who evers recovery you wish.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reason I say fastboot boot first is because it allows you to boot the image without permanently (well, unless you flash another over) flashing a partition without knowing it works.
Booted fine when I ran fastboot boot boot.img, but when I actually flashed it, it's giving me a boot loop now Booting back into fastboot shows secure boot still enabled. Any suggestions? Or do you have the original bootloader image?

Does anyone know when the new ruu for the HTC One comes out? I went to unroot my phone, locked the bootloader, and went to run the ruu, only to realize I did the system update a few days before. So now I'm stuck in a bootloop and I can't mount my sd card ( I think it's corrupted ) So I'm pretty much out of a phone till then, correct?
Thank you in advance guys.
If you can unlock again, and somehow get adb to work, you can s-off using revone. Then you can flash any RUU. Otherwise, I dunno

I re-unlocked the phone again but I have no clue how to do the rest.
If you can get files to your sd, you can run revone or moonshine to get s-off. Look in original development for the corresponding threads and instructions. Once you have that, you can RUU old firmware or unsigned.

I think the only thing that will fix our problem is a new version of the ruu. I knowledge on adb is very limited, I'm sure someone that knows what their doing can fix it 1,2,3, but that person isn't me. :crying:
ADB should not be your tool of choice. Fastboot would be your friend here, since it's a lot more direct in its method. If your internal card isn't completely hosed, you should be able to restore using the fastboot flash commands to reflash your /system and /boot and /recovery, at which point you should be fine. There are several threads on how to do this.

Put your phone into fastboot mode (power + volume up + volume down). Plug the phone into your computer.
Install fastboot/ADB. You may need to search the web for the platform tools, or there are some toolkits that can help.
Open a command prompt and run "fastboot flash recovery <path-to-recovery.img>".
Go to Advanced -> ADB sideload, then run "adb install <path-to-downloaded-image.zip>".
If that doesn't work, open the zip and run:
fastboot flash system <path-to-system.img>
fastboot flash recovery <path-to-recovery.img>
Bottom line is if you're not willing to learn a bit about fastboot and ADB, then you shouldn't be using a toolkit because you won't be able to fix your device if something goes wrong.
So I pretty much tried everything with no luck BUT I flashed the boot.img and now I'm getting some where. Now it's showing my internal storage but the rom I had installed I guess erased. I've been searching around people saying flash system.img but how can I flash a system.img? All the files I've been finding are .zip and there any .img roms that I can flash?

I can't mount my internal storage. Even in TWRP recovery it shows nothing on the sd card. I think some how the internal sd card got corrupted, so I can't mount it.

I've had this problem. To correct it, I put everything I need to flash in /sdcard/0. TWRP sometimes only sees stuff within a 0 folder placed inside root.
If you haven't tried already, make a 0 folder on the sdcard, then copy it and see what TWRP shows.
Thank you to @Indirect for fixing my problem.

In the future, try extracting your downloaded .zip files.
OTA packages and recovery-flashable ROMs are provided as .zip files. Each archive contains the necessary .img files and a script that tells the recovery where to put them. You can extract these .img files and flash them with fastboot if you don't have recovery access.
Fastboot factory images generally are .img files compressed as .tar files. You'd better have a tool like 7zip onboard so you can deal with the many archive formats you'll find on the net.

So I am going to go sell my HTC One and I wanted to remove the root and revert back to stock. Without thinking twice I deleted everything on the phone and all that remains is TWRP. I have downloaded the stock rom but where I am running into trouble is that my computer is detecting the HTC One as a CD drive. I have tried multiple different solutions that I have read online and cannot seem to fix it. I am just trying to put the stock zip file onto the phones internal memory. I am able to access recovery and twrp. I am just unable to figure out what I need to do to have my computer recognize my phone.

You need to use adb commands to push or sideload a rom while in twrp recovery.
Put the Rom file in your adb/fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip. Open your adb/fastboot command window.
Boot phone to twrp and connect usb.
In the command window type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes (several minutes)
When it's done install the Rom with twrp recovery.

Disclaimer: If you are not comfortable with using Fastboot and ADB and editing system files than this guide might not be for you. At this point this is what I have to offer.
Click here for the unofficial twrp image - Latest version as of 12/27/14
So getting right into it.
1. Turn on ADB mode on the watch by going to about and tapping the build info 7 times.
2. Download ADB and Fastboot utilties
3. Plug the watch into the computer and your phone should vibrate and ask you to accept the computers fingerprint, tick the check box to always allow and hit ok
4. Open up a command prompt or terminal inside of where the ADB utilities are located and enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This next step will wipe your data!
5. Now you should be in fastboot, go ahead and on the terminal use the next code and follow prompts to unlock
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
6. Now after you re-set up your watch again you will need to do step 1 and 3 again.
Please do not skip step 6!
7. Go ahead and issue
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
8. Flash unofficial twrp, make sure the recovery image file is in the same location as fastboot than issue
Code:
fastboot flash recovery YOURIMGNAMEHERE.img
9. Upon successfully doing that you should have twrp installed
10. Lots in one step here, download the latest supersu.zip flashable file and put it in the same folder as ADB use the proper name of what you downloaded. Issue
Code:
adb push SUPERSUNAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/
11. Issue
Code:
adb reboot recovery
12. than using the very tiny TWRP and somewhat messed up go ahead and use it to install the supersu.zip under the folder /sdcard
13. Enjoy root and twrp.
I will make this guide into a much easier Java program in the very near future to make it easier to use.
This was typed up pretty fast and it is kinda hacky, I will work on a bat script and a shell script if we have enough osx users here. I'm sure someone will come along and make this better if I don't get around to it.

Q: ADB complains there is no device listed.
A: Install universal ADB drivers and then go to device manager and under the device with a yellow warning icon go to update driver, Browse my computer, let me pick from list of device drivers, than Google ADB interface. If it still complains turn off debugging, than turn it back on, revoke authorization, then disable and re-enable again.
One more just in case.
Great work!!
Just got the watch today and couldn't be happier. Custom kernel, TWRP and root (well sort of) all within 6 hours of having this watch.
I say root (sort of) because SU is force closing when running su in adb shell. First time it crashed adb on PC and had to reboot watch. Now it just force closes on my watch and adb exits on PC. What is the most current version of SuperSU? I have 1.94 from Chainfire's site.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Do you or your team have a paypal?

The latest supersu is version 2.36 dated 11.27.2014. 1.94 is well over a year old, you need to update for sure that is why you are force closing.
I figured that's what it was. Feeel real dumb for not finding the newest version the first time. Also most current is now 2.37 XD
Edit: That got it! Thanks tonu!

I'm here to help! I'm working on adding other mods to my other thread right now I'm working on getting busybox working.
Thanks for doing all of this work.
I was hoping you could help me with a step I am stuck on.
10. Lots in one step here, download the latest supersu.zip flashable file and put it in the same folder as ADB. Issue "adb push SUPERSUNAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/
When I do this it is saying permission denied. Also, should the watch be in recovery or fully booted when I run this command?
Thanks

Disregard I did it again and for some reason it worked. Maybe I need to reboot first.
Recovery
I went through your command and everything worked until I ran:
fastboot flash recovery UNOFFICIAL-openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-lenok.img
Now the device just boots into the recovery and not into the system. The system/data partitions keep saying:
E:Unable to mount /data
E:Unable to mount /system
I am very comfortable with fastboot and adb so I do not know what I did wrong here.
Any ideas?

Try reflashing the recovery IMG again. And check back here.

I reflashed the recovery you provided and I keep rebooting to system but it takes me to twrp.
I am in the process of downloading the system dump from another thread to hopefully flash those to get back into the system.

The dump is extracted from the system.img, you won't be able to flash it in any way. None of this guide touches system files besides the root stuff which shouldn't affect boot. Try flashing the stock recovery.img instead.

Thank you for that information, I stopped the download of the dump.
Downloading the stock recovery now.

I must have skipped a step...
installed stock recovery
booted into the watch system
enabled adb debugging
reboot to bootloader
install your recovery image
rebooted
pushed supersu
rebooted to twrp
installed supersu
rebooted to system
adb shell - verified root!
You are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help me!
HYPE for 5.0.1
'm Hype! can't wait to flash the first 5.0.1 system dump on this as stated by +Darek Ross we MAY be receiving update as early as today!
I did this yesterday, and run into the same problem - TWRP spitting out errors when flashing
It was caused by NOT rebooting after unlocking bootloader, but proceeding with the flash rightaway - this apparently leaves the watch in an empty state (no /sdcard or /system contents) and it needs to boot up at least once before you flash anything
So the correct procedure is like this
1) enable development options
2) enable usb debugging
3) adb reboot-bootloader
4) fastboot oem unlock
5) let the watch boot normally, pair with your phone, enable development options and usb debugging again
6) adb reboot-bootloader
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot reboot
9) adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/
10) adb reboot recovery
11) flash supersu.zip
Apparently, there is a problem when the original kernel is not present after "fastboot oem unlock" - the watch will be left empty, while on the original kernel it "reinstalls"
I typed this from memory, but I think you should know how these things work anyway, as there's not much for a "normal" user to do anyway... yet...

My guide is setup like the one you put there. In order to get adb working again you need to re setup the watch step 6. Read the instructions carefully. I'll post a batch script later to simplify this.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
Step 6 doesn't really say "you need to do this, OR ELSE", it seems like you just rehash the factory reset thing
And you should put step 10 before step 6, it can't really be done in that order...
but again, I guess the people trying this should now how it works, so no biggie, but since a few of us got hit by that "no initial boot" issue, it would be better to put a note in there

By default debugging is disabled, I'm not sure how you were able to issue an ADB command on step 7 with out first performing step 6.
Aaah, sorry, should have been "after step 6"
another option is to do adb push with recovery loaded
I guess that's why I got that error before, because I combined 5+8 and flashed the recovery, but TWRP was unable to revive the watch from factory reset state (which makes me think it should not be on the watch unless needed...)

Ah I see, yea the guide is written as the absolute minimum to work right now. Like I said later today I'll try to post a script that automates all of this, its much easier.
