[Q] Soft brick(?)/usb drivers issue - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all! I'm having some big problems getting my phone working. I was running Venom One rom for a while but then decided to try out something else and installed the CM 11S. Again phone worked perfectly but I got used to using Venom so I wanted to go back to it. And that's where I fu**ed it I think... I've installed the rom (I'm using T.W.R.P 2.7.1.1, standard cache and data format) like previously and again everything went smoothly with no errors. However, when I restarted the phone it got stuck on HTC logo. But it wasn't stuck like you couldn't do anything, I could lock the screen and when I unlocked it it would present me with the usual lock screen, time, taskbar etc. but when you unlocked it it went back to the HTC logo after a while an error popped up saying that the htc dialler was not responding. I haven't came across something like that ever before... So I went back to recovery and flashed the system again and again I had the exact same issue. So then I went and formatted everything including my internal storage, and that's where I made the biggest mistake. I forgot that I had the rom zip on internal storage and I'd lose it if I format the partition. No problem you'd say BUT I can't copy anything onto the phone.
When I connect the phone to my PC in recovery mode it just refuses to mount!! No matter which partition I want to mount, nothing comes up in my computer. I went on to the device manager and surely enough the HTC One is an unknown device... I tried side-loading the rom but the adb can't connect to the phone. I tried re-installing the HTC sync just to make sure I definitely have the usb drivers but still no luck. ADB devices command shows no devices connected. I've run out of ideas and I'm regretting my decision to try different roms...
I really don't want to buy a new phone so if anyone has ANY ideas please right it down. Thanks in advance!

don't worry, you'll not have to buy another phone. Your issue is one of the most common issue we see here. First I will recommend you to use twrp 2.7.1.1 only to flash CM11 based roms and use twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for any Sense based roms.
You will first need to fix your drivers issue so you can adb push or adb sideload the rom to your phone again. there is a guide linked in my signature (nkk71's guide). In this thread, there is instruction (in the FAQ #2) about how to solve drivers issues.
When your drivers issue are solved, flash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in twrp 2.6.3.3 and adb push or sideload venom and hopefully it will be able to boot and it will be stable.

The only weird thing is, I used the 2.7.1.1 to flash the sense rom in first place and everything worked fine :/ . Anyway, thanks for the shout! :good: I'll give it a try right now and see how it goes.

Right, I'm having problems installing the drivers for some reason. The ones downloaded from this thread don't seem to be doing anything at all. When click on them they show up for a split second in task manager and then they disappear. No install wizard no nothing. So i downloaded the ones for Windows 7 from here but this just gives me a message that "Windows could not find driver software for your device." . I mean, what the hell?
Edit: Right, after a lot of struggle I've managed to successfully bring my phone back to life! I have no idea what caused the issues with installing the drivers. I've spent ages deleting every trace of HTC drivers, then installed Windows 7 ones and somehow it worked. Then flashed t.w.r.p 2.6.3.3 and venom and it seems to be working smoothly! Hopefully no more problems . Thanks a lot for helping out man!

Need help getting my phone working again.

Hi all.
I have CWM Touch installed, but I can't run ADB Sideload to flash a ROM. I just keep getting an error that the device can't be found. I have no OS installed, so my phone won't boot up. I can't access the phone's memory as that doesn't work with the One. I also can't flash a RUU to return to factory settings as I have S-ON and am on HBOOT 1.54.Is there anything I can do to fix this and get my phone back working?
Many thanks.

First try to reinstall you Drives for ADB and HTC so you know it's not a Driver issue. If that doesn't work try using a different PC and see if you still get the same issues.
And also try using HTC One AIO to flash TWRP or something to see if you can Sideload a rom then. Because AIO toolkit uses the fastboot menu to flash Recovery images.
If you can flash a different Recovery then try to flash a rom and see if that works.
If not let me know what the results are

Got it! Thank you. I reinstalled the drivers. Weird though because ADB was working fine before. The drivers must have corrupted or maybe it's a Windows 8 issue. Sideloading the ROM now, will let you know if it is a success.

[Q] Sprint One, can only access hboot and recovery

I feel like I have used up all my resources on trying to get my Sprint HTC One back to stock.
Last night I was able to unlock it with no trouble. I didn't realize this would wipe out all my media as well. (not the issue)
So I was going to go and install Benny's Cleanrom and I used Superwipe to clear all the cache and everything that was being restored from the back up. I flashed the Superwipe Rom and it seemed to have gotten the job done, but it also wiped out my OS.
So now I have been stuck with the ability of accessing bootloader and recovery, I am using TWRP right now. None of my pc's recognize my phone when I try to mount it. The phone also shows errors when I try to do so, coming up stating that it cannot mount anything except usb otg. I don't have a USB OTG cable right to use, so that option is still out the window.
I have tried this method
I have tried this method multiple times but ADB was not working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317989
I have tried the Fastboot method, which had me relocking the phone and running the ruu. Though since I am on the latest version 1.3, the 1.2.9 RUU I was trying to use kept on failing. When doing it through Hasoon's AIO tool it seems that the ruu works when I flash the ruu zip. Though running it the first time it would show up that it failed, but when I re-flash it the second time on the cmd line it shows successful though on the phone the green bar never completes it and it stays at like 95% and doesn't complete the install on the phone.
If someone knows how to get my phone back to stock I would be very appreciative. I am new to rooting on the HTC One, I previously rooted my Evo 3D and my girls SG2.
If someone wants to help me out with team viewer, I will gladly allow anyone to assist me in that matter. I am just hoping that this can be resolved.
Now I see when I type ADB devices in cmd, it shows FA33ZS907479 recovery. I don't know if this has any relevance in that it sees the TWRP recovery.

[Q] HTC One (M7) Bricked???

Hello. I have the following problem. I friend of mine that I've sold him my old rooted Htc One tried to make 4.4. kitkat
He tried to install
Android_Revolution_HD-One-53.0zip
BUT I don't know how he managed to stuck his phone.The problem is when I am power on the phone it shows the white HTC screen with the red letters "this build is for development purpose only..." after a while reboots in TWRP v2.5.0.0
And that's it , I cannot do anything because my PC won't recognize it via USB cable.
Any suggestions?
(excuse me for my English, with love from Greece )
As long as it boots into Recovery its not bricked. Do you have the HTC Driver installed on your computer?
Android Revolution HD 53 requires min. TWRP 2.6.3.3. Your version is too old.

From recovery go to fastboot connect phone to pc.
It must be recognized.
Then flash boot.img which is in the Revolution.zip.
Then install the rom via recovery.
Remember for unlock and not s-off users the boot.img must be flashed befor flashing a rom.zip.

SAME problem (or pretty similar) here, trying to instal ARHD61.1... I don't know how did I screw up this so much...
My bootloader is TAMPERED, UNLOCKED, S-On. Recovery TRWP (2.7) launches but... many things don't work.
First thing I have to mention is that I didn't forget to enable debugging before all this started (and now I can't launch android to do it).
My HTC drivers should be up-to-date, as I installed yesterday HTC sync 3.00.52...
In bootloader, if I type "fastboot devices" I get "FA34HW903605 fastboot", and "fastboot reboot.bootloader" does what it is expected to do...
In recovery, "adb push" tells me "error: device not found".
Can someone help me? If you need more details, just ask. Thanks

Let me try and I'll tell you later. I also think it's a matter of drivers, so I was downloading and re-installing it... Thank you for your help
-------------------------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I followed your steps (LET ME THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT GUIDE) and now the device is "My HTC" as you show.
Something has changed:
If I type "adb devices" (in PC) when phone is in fastboot, the listing is void (before I got "FA34HW903605 fastboot"), and if I do the same while phone is in recovery, I get the mentioned "FA34HW903605 recovery".
In Windows7 I don't see "My HTC" as a conventional USB storage or Memory of a Camera (should it be?)
I've managed to ADB PUSH a ROM (ARHD) in recovery, but now I get an error message: "Unable to mount '/data' " and "Unable to mount internal storage " then FAILED. Now I'll try flashing a new recovery...
WOW WOW WOW!! It was enough for me, sir
1st) Solve comunnication issues as shown in FAQ #2 here
2nd) Solve TWRP recovery mount issues by:
2.a) Installing any other (clockwork) in fastboot using One All In One Kit (eaaaasy)
2.b) Formatting cache, system, data partitions
2.c) Installing TWRP again using One All In One Kit (Android Revolution REQUIRES this recovery)
2.d) Sending the ROM ('adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard/wherever_you_want_it')
2.e) Installing it from TWRP recovery.
An that was all. THANKS A LOT nkk71; without your help I still would be here trying to figure out what's broken... Thanks.

no problem, glad to be of help
remember for most 4.4 ROMs, (for m7_u/ul) TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or higher) is recommended at the moment.
though you should be good by downloading it, then checking MD5 to make sure the download isnt corrupt (that site doesnt work with download managers), then:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery and push the rom
Thank you all for your support, but still the problem remains.
I have installed HTC Drivers and when i connect the HtcOne i can hear the USB beep from windows but i cannot open the phone like a drive.
In other words i cannot add files to the phone :crying::crying:

It wont be so easy, I'm afraid. Even if comunication issues are solved, you won't be able to copy your ROM using windows file manager, opening the phone like a conventional drive...
You have to install "ADB" in your PC (search in HTC ONE subforums, there's a lot of info about ADB pusing (=copying) ROMS) and use it to copy your ROM. One advice: while "pushing" the ROM, be patient: it takes a long time. When your ROM is "pushed", just install it in recovery and... that's it!!
I think here you have a good starting point.

Hey, congratulations!! :good::good::good:

[help] got a soft brick after a build.prop edit

A while earlier I was trying to enable tethering on my at&t N6 by editing the build.prop and after the reboot it's stuck in a boot loop. I don't imagine that this is important but it doesn't get to the dots animation; just white Google and the unlock at the bottom. I am still able to get into fastboot and recovery (stock one). I have a backup of the correct build.prop in the /system file named build.prop.back , so I'm hoping that there's a way to revert to that without needing to wipe my device again, but I'm not sure.
I found this thread, however my computer isn't recognizing the device when it's in recovery mode. I have the fastboot drivers installed (needed to root), so that may be why but, again, I'm not sure. the adb devices command shows that there is no device, I imagine because the driver is not installed.
any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Unfortunately that didn't fix the problem.
Do you know if the fastboot driver and recovery driver would be different? As far as I can tell from my research, I think they're the same, but I could be wrong. Hopefully that's the problem and you can direct me towards the correct driver.
If I select "show hidden devices" in the device manager, it shows the phone as ADB Interface, and I tried undating the driver for that but it said it was already up to date. not sure what to do from here.
Thanks for your help.
Install working drivers if you can. This is important on so many levels. If they are installed correctly you type ADB devices, you should see your device. If you do type adb reboot bootloader, it should reboot to bootloader. Type fastboot devices, you should see same device name. Pat self on back.
Once that is all good I'd install the latest TWRP img file for your whale, straight off TWRP website (do you know how to do this? fastboot flash recovery recovery/name.img) . Once you do that go to your new recovery by pushing vol-down twice then your power button, inside TWRP you mount system and go into the file manager inside TWRP and swap/rename build.prop files. At this point, please make a backup inside TWRP. This backup will be on your internal memory, also save a copy to your computer in case you accidentally reformat your internal memory like every noob that uses toolkits. Having a backup is very important when you are screwing around with your phone. Reboot and profit.

I though I had the working drivers... Whenever I boot into fastboot/ bootloader, I can do fastboot devices and the phone shows up, but for whatever reason adb devices returns an empty list everywhere. It's empty in fastboot and recovery and while the phone is stuck in it's bootloop...
I'm fairly confident I can flash TWRP without any problems. I had an old galxy tab 2 that i flashed cyanogen onto a while ago, however i used clockwork for that recovery. I don't imagine it would be too much different though.
edit: also might be worth noting that I'm using a windows 8.1 computer for this. not sure if it matters or not, but it might be useful

You are ok w/ your problem because you can get to fastboot screen. Don'y worry about adb drivers for now. Do what I said in my earlier post in the 2nd paragraph, start w/ installing TWRP img then do the rest and it will work for you. Win 8.1 seems to have its difficulties but we'll worry about that later after you get TWRP installled.

OK. twrp is making a backup as I type. is this backup the same thing as a nandroid backup? i hadnt heard of them before I decided to root.
It should boot properly now. I'll update when it's done.
Edit: IT BOOTS! thank you so much.
Edit 2: So I'm not really sure why it works now but adb recognizes it when its in twrp... odd. I tried to reinstall the drivers with the most recent version i could find, but it didn't look like it actually updated anything. maybe stock recovery was just broken? I'm not sure...

Cool glad it's working. Yes backup=nandroid
It's cool now I've also noticed the computer recognizes phone in TWRP. You can drag and drop files onto the phone while it's in TWRP not just booted in android, couldn't do that before unless I'm wrong which is often. This is really cool as I always forget a file or two or its location on SD card.

Heya!
Totally new to all of this, so please be gentle. My M9 is now bootlooping and the past hour of research hasn't helped me.
I've just done the following with my Tmobile marshmallow M9:
1) Used HTC's dev tools to unlock the bootloader
2) Flashed twrp-2.8.7.1_CPTB-B1-hima.img using fastboot
3) Immediately after flashed BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-20160103015024.zip using twrp
4) Backed up everything using twrp
My phone is now boot looping. I tried clearing cache/dalvik/data with no luck. Honestly, I'm fine with either loading a stock rom or going to viper like I originally intended, but I don't know how - I don't have either of those on my SD card and I know that I need to get them off of my computer onto the phone, but ADB and my device manager don't see the phone when I'm in TWRP. When I'm in the bootloader, I see "My HTC" in device manager and HTC sync picks up like it sees the phone.
I just want a working phone again. I hear that SuperSU 2.65 is probably more stable, but I don't care whether I root and viper or go back to stock as long as the phone works. I would have figured driver issues if not for the perfectly functional/device manager viewable fastboot. Without ADB seeing the device in twrp, I can't sideload, push files or mount storage to get a new rom on there to fix it. I'm not even sure whether it's TWRP or the SuperSU flash that boot looped me, though I figured that by clearing /data/dalvik/cache I killed SuperSU so it might be twrp.
All solutions I've found so far assume that ADB is working/the device can be seen or assume that simple driver reinstalls will fix the problem, but I haven't had any luck with that so far even though I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers a few times.
Any ideas? Please help me - I'm stumped!
Relock bootloader and run an RUU.

Go back to TWRP and flash the stable SuperSU 2.65. Beta bootlooped for me too and then I went back to TWRP and flashed 2.65 and it was fine.
When you're in TWRP you should be able to connect the device to your computer and copy the 2.65 to phone storage and then be able to flash it.
