[Q] Help unbricking - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a Sprint htc one that I had previously unlocked, rooted and installed twrp and cm10.1 on. I was trying to restore the factory rom and now I can't boot up. seams like i have deleted all OS'. I can open the bootloader and twrp. I can not find any zip in twrp to reinstall cm10 just to get the phone working again. I have tried the adb function in twrp but it keeps failing. i have also tried to install the RUU file but can not get it to work. it states that my device has 1.31.651.2 and the RUU I'm trying to use is 1.29.651.7. Is there somewhere I can download the 1.31.651.2 image version. Or is there another way to unbrick my phone.

1) Get into bootloader (Power and volume down)
2) go to fastboot
3) Copy the recovery you want to the directory you use for abd and rename it recovery.zip
4) fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
5) Run fastboot erase cache
6) Then open recovery
7) Go to sideload and sideload a ROM you want. Make sure that is for SPRINT HTC ONE
8) Reboot and good luck

Still not seeing the device. I've tried switching versions of twrp and twrp sideload keeps saying failure. so I put CWM on it and it is opening sideload but the device is not recognized by the computer.

I think the safest at this point where FASTBOOT recognizes your devices but ADB doesn't is to go back to stock flashing a RUU this only requires FASTBOOT.

That isn't working either. the only RUU file I can find is for 1.29.651.10RUU instead of the 1.31.651.2RUU. I have tried running it anyway hoping to limp it back to life but it won't take it. I really need the 1.31.651.2RUU. but can't find it.

TWRP 2.6 [stock on "swipe to unlock" in recovery]

I went to GooManager and downloaded the new version of TWRP. When I reboot to recovery my phone gets stuck on "swipe to unlock" and doesn't let me do anything but to restart my phone on fastboot. I can't flash any ROMs
Can someone please help me? Thanks in advanced. :crying:

I was using the previous version (2.5) just fine and just went to GooManager and I assume that GooManager will download the right for me.
I opened GooManager and click on Menu then Install OpenRecoveryScript and then I manually rebooted to recovery once the download finished. And that's when I get stuck on "swipe to unlock"
Filename was "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-m7wls.img"

well, thats the right one, i would suggest that you manually download the file and install using adb fastboot.
I direct downloaded the file from their site and fast boot flashed after verifying MD5. There is definitely a problem with he recovery

Thank you sir! I am new to this so I am learning as I go. I read that these are the steps to follow to do an ADB Fastboot. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks again for your help.
1) Download the above file. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to "twrp.img"
2) Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Select fastboot from the menu list.
3) Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery "twrp.img"

That sucks! So should I do try adb fastboot or go back to the previous version (2.5)?
What sucks is that without 2.6 working properly, I won't be able to flash any ROM with the new android version (4.2)

Did you just recently update your firmware to the new base? The reason I ask is because after I did I used the the firmware with the bootloader and recovery included. I had reflashed TWRP 2.5. Well I noticed that the method of holding down volume key and and power button would not work for me at all whether I was in the os, bootloader or recovery. So I flashed the Rom I was on again and it fixed it. So I am wondering this is what is happening to you. Maybe just let the phone lose charge then plug it in reboot to the os then into bootloader and flash the 2.5 TWRP recovery. Only thing I can think of your not bricked

Given all the issues with 2.6 listed here, should I update from 2.5 to 2.6? Also, if TWRP says 2..5.0.0 at the top of the screen, how do I know this is the wls version?

look at the zip file you download (openrecovery twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls.img) m7wls tells you its for sprint.or m7spr whatever
there is a new version 2.6.0.1 but i don't know if it still has bugs or not, i'd stay at 2.5.0.0

I do not have a separate file. I think my TWRP came as part of some bigger ( root, recovery, permissions) package. I would think it was the Sprint version, but I keep having slight problems - those system apps try reboot after install, but in my case they do not. I have to boot manually, and after each recovery reboot I get a "reboot error notification". Can this be related?

You may have to switch recoveries to TWRP 2.6.3.3 OR 2.6.3.0, and use a windows 7 machine.

Try it in recovery and also check to see if the device is being detached while in recovery by typing in "adb devices" in the command prompt.
Nope
If I use htc one toolkit while in bootloader and I fastboot I get my device show up but when I do adb I get nothing

So no adb in recovery, but fastboot working hmm. So adb devices shows nothing?
Your device is obviously being detected to have fastboot working.
Try adb kill-server to reset adb and then check if it's detectable in recovery, also make sure to mount the data.
Use a different computer if available
Make sure you don't have any tethers installed that would ruin adb like easy tether
Try downloading and reinstalling the adb universal set up drivers.
Try running a RUU if you can
Sorry if i'm not much help I'm still noobish to all this still

Recovery not working after trying to flash twrp with flashify

Ok I was trying to update my trwp to 2.6.3.3 on my HTC one so I could install the new Viper One Rom. I located the img file in flashify hit flash. It said it was flashed and booted into recovery then it was stuck. Was able to restart my phone but now when I try to go into recovery it gets stuck. How do I fix this. Is there a way to fix this. should I unroot the phone or what I'm lost on what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Per TWRP Page ( http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/171 )
Download: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7wls/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img and copy it to the folder that you have fastboot.exe located.
Download the above file into your platform-tools dir. Turn off your device. Turn on the device and keep holding volume down until a menu shows up. Select fastboot from the menu list. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed, your screen should now say FASTBOOT USB. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
Reboot and you should have TWRP custom recovery.

Uninstall everything HTC form your PC
Unplug phone
Reboot your PC
Install these drivers http://d-h.st/FXC
Plug phone in and let the drivers install
Go back to Device Manager and do this to install correctly
(If you are using Windows 8.1 this will most likely not work)
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

Soft bricked - Not showing in ADB Devices

I was trying to update to the Android M Preview following instructions on Phandroid. I successfully performed an "adb reboot bootloader". I got part way thru and the Flash-all.bat wouldn't work. So I started to manually flashboot the individual .img files. That was working until I tried to "fastboot flash system system.img". Then I got:
load_file: could not allocat 1979559444 bytes
error: cannot load 'system.img': Not enough space
I read around online and tried restarting my computer. After I did, I tried "adb devices" and nothing was listed. I tried to restart phone, but it won't boot because I didn't finish the process. I've tried upgrading to the latest Nexus 6 Google USB drivers. I've tried "adb kill-server", "adb start-server" but my device never shows up under "adb devices".
Any help getting it to show up? Any idea how to finish the system.img install if I can get it to show up? I'm feeling very sad without my phone working. :crying:

See if you can flash a rom from your sd. hopefully you have something on there. Also see if you can see anything on fastboot since adb is not seeing anything
I cannot get into Recovery to flash an old ROM. I get the android on his back with the red triangle. Fastboot does seem to work even though adb does not.

Update your android SDK. Then try again.

I read the story, then at the end is your problem. well, part of it. you weren't using adb in the bootloader, it doesnt work there, ever. you were using fastboot, and you should've fastboot devices
That's encouraging. Any idea how to get past the system.img file is too large error?

Is your SDK updated?
My drivers are updated using the Google USB Drivers from this link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
I was able to flash TWRP over to it but it appears my SDCARD has been wiped. I have a TWRP Backup saved on my computer but I can't figure out how to get it on the phone without using "adb push".

There is a different fast boot that you have to use called mfastboot.
http://highonandroid.com/android-sm...re-error-could-not-allocate-1778070480-bytes/
The fastboot not being recognized can sometimes be a driver error. Is it recognized look through device manager and try uninstall then unplug USB and plug back in.
Also the android naked drivers might help. Give them a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t1379875
Have you tried adb sideload from twrp? You can install roms from the computer rather then filling up your internal memory. Here is a guide/how to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200

This! I was able to sideload my current ROM and GAPPS. That allowed me to fully boot and copy over my TWRP backup. Thank you!
I'd still love to install the M preview build, but now I'm a little scared. Maybe I'll wait until there's a flashable ROM....

I didn't know there was a flashable ROM out there yet. I thought they were all sideloads. Thanks!

No problem. I've run this and as long as you follow the installation instructions precisely, it is very stable and capable of being a daily driver.

There's another flashable here:

I haven't run this one but it seems to be getting good reviews.
