[Q] Q: Stuck, Unlocked, Cannot mount E:\, In TWRP, 22hrs In

Long story short,
Purchased a Tmobile HTC One, Planned on taking it over to Straight Talk.
I have not asked any questions because I can usually figure this out.
Facts:
Unlocked using All In One
TWRP recovery
Issue:
Keep rebooting once it gets to the HTC One screen with Beats Audio
I am about 22 hours into this and very frustrated, it seems as though I do not have an O.S.
Cannot mount E:

Use the ADB Sideload option(follow the directions carefully) in the All-in-One Toolkit to load a ROM.

I have tried a couple of times (following directions closely - have done this before on a inspire) and keep getting
"E:unable to mount '/data'" on the phone side & "error: closed"

Hmm. Have you attempted to format data while in TWRP recovery? Also a few more details please--once you had unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, did you attempt to install a ROM from that point or boot into stock? If it's the latter, have you attempted to fastboot flash a boot.img from a stock ROM/NAND backup?

I have always had better luck with CWM clockworkmod recovery than TWRP for these kind of situations. So you might want to use the all in one and put Clockwork on. Also when sideloading a rom make sure to rename the rom something nice and short like rom.zip no spaces no numbers just simple and short or it will fail.

1. Have NOT tried to format data
2. Originally tried to install cm touch, which at that time seemed like it didnt work (could not boot into rom) so I tried to install TWRP for some reason
3. I have attempted to boot stock rom, but always gets hung up on "beats audio" audio screen

Wow, saved my ass. I formatted /data and now I can finally boot into CM after a fresh ROM install.
Thanks

1. Loaded ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1

Loaded CM Recovery and at the bottom it says:
"E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Cant open/cache/recovery/log
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Cant open/cache/recovery/last_log"
Q: Should I try formatting the drive

Two things here:
1) Clearing Cache fixes the cache issue you see...
2) To fix the boot loop, you need to `Format /data and /data/media` under `Mounts and Storage`.
That should fix you up.... side loading wont fix a bad /data partition.

It sounds like you have a ROM loaded if its cycling at the BeatsAudio screen. Yes, you can do the ROM now. Make sure you do a factory reset before installing the ROM (or after I suppose)

Are you using Mac OSX? What is the format of the external_sd card? Is it formatted FAT, FAT32, or EX_FAT?
Clockworkmod does not support EX_FAT, so you must format it to FAT in order for it to mount. OSX can't format FAT32, so you must format FAT.

[Q] 6 Hours later - Still Bricked.

Hello,
First and foremost I would like to give the important information away:
Phone: HTC One (M7)
Carrier: Rogers (I think same as AT&T?)
State: Unlocked, S-On, TWRP v2.7.1.0 installed, Hboot 1.57 and without an OS
The story:
Advance Wiped Everything:
So I didn't transfer the ROM before I used the "wipe" option in TWRP and deleted everything (using advanced wipe). Now I'm left with a phone that is "soft-bricked".
ADB Sideload
I rooted and installed TWRP my phone using QbKing77's guide
I tried googling a soultion and found a guide that told me to enter TWRP->Advanced->ADB Sideload and realized my phone cannot enter ABD sideload mode...so I'm like there must be another way, so I look up ADB push and again the same problem...it wont work. ADB shows: "error:device not found" in cmd.
Drivers
Now I think the problem is in the driver and I have reinstalled all the correct drivers (including Android SDK Google USB drivers). Then it strikes me that if the problem is with the drivers why was I able to use fastboot and not ADB?
RUU
After 4 hours of trying I gave up and was like lets try a RUU, same freaking problem. I get error code 155 which after researching seems to be pointing at my phone's bootloader not being "Re-locked" when the freaking screen says ***tampered*** re-locked****. So now I have unlocked it again and relocked the bootloader again, still no luck. I tried downloading different RUUs for both Rogers and AT&T and both give that exact same error even after "fastboot oem lock" command. After giving up on that I go back to try to entter ADB sideload mode via TWRP, I downloaded TWRP 2.5-2.7 and none of them would allow me to enter ADB sideload mode.. As of now its been 1 hour and TWRP still states: "Starting ADB sideload feature...".
Conclusion
If there is any way to get my phone to it's stock settings (IDC about the tampered, and relocked messages) I am all ears, I'm sorry if the information given isn't organized enough, but I'm very exhausted at this point. I will be more than happy to answer any more questions anybody might have.
Thanks!

first, do not use twrp 2.7.1.0 but 2.6.3.3 and use HTC divers not Google drivers. you will then be able to sideload or push a rom to your phone. Also make sure to use at least adb 1.0.29, sideload will not work on previous version.

Thanks for your response.
I have flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3, and when I boot into recovery it asks me for a password? I was still unable to boot up ADB sideload (This time I get an error message instead of it failing to start all together). But I was able to access the adb shell and was able to push a custom rom into the device into /data/ and then tried installing it, which failed.
I flashed the ROM using this command: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
then after the transfer was done typed: fastboot erase cache
as of now when I type adb devices into the command prompt my phone is being detected which is an improvement from last night! Thanks!

you don't have to use an adb shell to push a rom, only use adb normally from your computer with the phone booted in recovery. And the destination of the rom when you push it is not /data, its /sdcard
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
when complete, select "install" in recovery and choose your rom.

The rom.zip is now in my /sdcard/ folder and when I try to install it I get the following error:
Code:
Updating partition details....
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
Error Flashing zip '/sdcard/rom.zip'
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
and my ADB version is 1.0.31
Edit: So I went in the mount option and noticed that "cache" was selected so I deselected it and tried to flash again and it just said
Code:
Error Flashing zip '/sdcard/rom.zip'
Updating partition details...
So now I'm thinking there must be something wrong with the ROM, so i'm downloading and will retry.
Code:
KitKat (Android 4.4.3 + HTC Sense 6.0)
Download Android Revolution HD 81.0
Nope, that didn't work either. Could it be that I need to put in that password first? If so what is the TWRP password?

looks like you have enabled data encryption in the OS...
in twrp wipe everything and format data
then push the rom again and install it.

[Q] Can't Boot Up Stock ROM. Stuck

*** TAMPERED ***

HTC One (M7) AT&T
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Above is my information on my phone when booting up into the fastboot, recovery, factory reset, etc menu
I don't have an OS as well
Now the problem I have here is that I can't load my stock ROM when rebooting. I already loaded up a ZIP file of the specific stock ROM that I'm suppose to be on but nothing happens when on command prompt!
This is what happens:
>fastboot flash zip Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA.zip
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes
sending 'zip' (1245080 KB)...
OKAY [ 57.277s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 180.581s
Very frustrating especially with the fact that there isn't a EXE file version so I can't go and try that way either. Running out of options. Hoping somebody here to diagnosis this situation

The Guru Reset your trying to flash is flashed in custom recovery
Unlock the bootloader first then
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 >> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now boot to recovery and push the Guru reset to the phone
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
just put the rom in the same folder as adb and fastboot and rename it rom.zip
the last step is to install the rom in TWRP / Install
During the install you can choose to keep the custom recovery you have now or return to stock recovery so you can recieve OTA updates again .. that's up to you

Okay up until this point everything was going great except when I typed "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/" (I copied and pasted what you wrote) into the command prompt and this message appeared:
>adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
cannot stat 'rom.zip': No such file or directory
Now what did I do wrong? I renamed the file as rom.zip just like you said and I placed it in the same folder as adb and fastboot. Was I suppose to go to a specific part of TWRP recovery? ADB sideload? I already tried ADB sideload but nothing happened....

Okay so I left the ZIP file as "rom" and then I re-did the whole process again. After that I finally got that GURU Reset file in the SD card. But when trying to install it it just gave me an error message! I'm assuming that it wasn't compatible with my software even though it match specifically with mines. Do you think I may have gotten the wrong software even though it's HTC One (M7) Sense 6 5.502.2(which was the last stock rom I got before rooting) ? Is there even a version released in the US specifically?

I tried all of them. Not one matched! I think something occurred between the day that they were put out and now that caused this to happen...
Want proof? I 've attached a screenshot of what I've been getting. This occurred over the nine different places that the ROM was from
Is there any chance of a EXE file version of this? Or any other places for a complete ZIP file? Oh and just to let you know the website said 1.2 GB, but the actual downloaded file had only 1.18 GB, not sure if this helps or not, just to let you know

Could you take a system dump and upload so I could use it for CM13.

i have personal data in it. sensitive ones

From your twrp recovery you can keep sensitive files. make a back-up an give only boot.emmc.win and system_image.emmc.win (boot is kernel and the other is system img). Of cource together with there md5 files. Data, cache and android-secure is having you personal info.
Rom can be booted with only those 2, I think. Of course probably together with correct firmware.zip,but this we have in the OTA.
If you put on some drive, give me also a link please.
Respect!

Aren't those stored on userdata? System dump should only be /system and /boot. If you could even erase userdata prior to posting if I'm remembering correct.

Will try to pull one. My girl friend has the M8S. Maybe I'll get it working when she's back home at the middle of next week.
Can't make any promises though.

yes, I am updating now!!!!

My experience so far:
1. Some apps stack during installation. The installation dialog shows "Installing...", progress bar is moving, but it's endless. EDIT: restarting/erasing cache fixed it
2. Missing sounds. I had set Foxglove.flac file (see the picture). If I click the Alarm field, an empty list is shown.
3. Missing dark keyboard. Maybe not relevant remark: You can choose Material Dark background in ServerAuditor app. If you do, it stays white
4. I cannot boot TWRP anymore. It just reboots my phone.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-m8s-qlul.img
5. It seems to me the phone gets heated more while using Firefox mobile.

I can't update for some reason. The update aborts in recovery with error7...The it keeps prompting the update once I restart the phone.
It's a H3G uk M8s,if anyone has an idea why would be great.

The error 7 means that 4 KiB of your system partition were changed. It could have been remounted as R/W. More on that here.
You should flash back the original system partition (perhaps only 4096 bytes is enough? [not tested]) and the error will go away.

Right but before I do that (I'm not even sure how to but I guess it's posted somewhere here) this is the error mgs I've got in recovery :
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg
(Code -1)
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_yes
(Code -1)
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_no
(Code -1)
E:Find no match PARTITION: for package path @/cache/recovery/block.map

Verifying current system...
E:unknown command [set_err_msg_]
system partition has unexpected contents
E:Error in @/cache/revovery/block.map
(status 7)
Btw I haven't rooted or changed anything on the phone so I don't understand why is it doing this but nvm...
So I should flash the system partition?
Thanks so much for the help.

After instalatión, htc sense no worked and I had to restore system to default.
After this. It works fine. More rapid.
I am glad

The error message means that 4 KiB of your system partition has different fingerprint from what M601QCT.02.003.022 update requires.
What's your CID and fingerprint? You can get them by connecting your phone to PC and running the following from command line:
Code:
adb shell "getprop ro.cid"
adb shell "getprop ro.build.fingerprint"
You can reflash by RUU or you need to unlock the bootloader and reflash System partition.

I've got these after running the commands:
H3G__001
htc/m8qlul_h3g_uk/htc_m8qlul:5.0.2/LRX22G/718283.3:user/release-key

RUU for your phone is not present on ruu.lalleman.net.
Your need to find right RUU for your phone or wait for right OTA update for your phone made by H3G.
It is possible to change CID and flash whatever RUU. However, you need to be S-OFF and you loose customization of H3G ROM and warranty of course.

@WildfireDEV, @El-Conkistador: Any idea why booting TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.0-m8s-qlul.img) restarts my phone and it doesn't boot it after upgrading to Android 6.0?
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-m8s-qlul.img
# => reboots phone, TWRP does not start

You can try to see if the last recovery from @Captain_Throwback works on android 6.0.
https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...back/One (M8S)/Recovery/twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img (3.0.2.1 is not working)
This one works on 5.0, don't know if on 6 works.
Also maybe you need to use htc_fastboot instead of the fastboot.
To flash the img file for sure, don't know if just to boot tho.
Also locked or unlocked bootloader? I imagine locked if you could upgrade. Take care if you unlock it you will have to factory reset, is doing that when you unlock. Make at least a back-up on HTC servers if not other back-up
If you can boot it up please make a back-up of system and boot image and put it somewhere available.
Respect!

I'm going to confess I haven't checked the CID on my phone, but I'm 99.99% certain that the above is going to be the RUU I'm on as well given my network is Three in the UK.
As there are no H3G RUUs anywhere I can find, and I didn't think there was any way to S-OFF this phone, we're basically stuffed for getting the Marshmallow update at the moment aren't we?
I have spoken to HTC about this issue and they told me to send the phone back to them, but I wanted to avoid that if I could...

Unfortunatelly, the TWRP 3.0.2.0 does not work with Android M. It fetches the image, boots it, blackscreen for several seconds and restarts.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img
htc_fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img

Maybe we have now same trouble like the ones from A9, together with the update to MM.
There they can't just boot the custom recovery. It need to be flashed.
Is still safe as long you don't mount your system "write enable".
If you keep it read only and do a back-up so you can always return to stock.
Stock recovery you find in the second update from HTC in the firmware.zip file, in case you want to go back.
If you can boot in recovery (twrp) please make a back-up of system and boot image and post, to be able also the other (that have problems to get back stock) to get MM touch. Put also your MID/CID to know for what phone it is.
Thanks!
Respect!

Hmm, no update yet for me. I bought the phone unlocked, here's my current phone info:
Code:
adb shell "getprop ro.cid"
HTC__001
adb shell "getprop ro.build.fingerprint"
htc/m8qlul_htc_europe/htc_m8qlul:5.0.2/LRX22G/555949.10:user/release-keys
What's the deal? Shouldn't unlocked phones be the first ones to receive the update, even before it gets pushed to providers for their customizations?
Or am I doing something wrong and HTC M8s needs something more to check for updates? I don't want to risk with unofficial RUU sources yet, but am eager to receive Android M6 sooner.

[Q] HTC One (m7) encrypted storage

I forgot my unlock patter for my htc one (m7) so I decided to try locking it trough Google device manager because I saw ppl doing it in order to reset their current pin, as it had blocked my phone completely I decided to do a factory reset from the recovery menu. It somehow did delete all my files (I can see the default homescreen picture when I doubletap to see running apps) but the phone is stuck to this decryption page(would post a pic but I can't due to XDA new members policy)
I can use any code to "decrypt" it as it will say the code is corect but the data is corupt so I have to factory reset, when I do try to factory reset it again it will fail and bring me to the decryption menu that's mentioned above
Is there anything I can do?

Are you using a custom recovery or the stock recovery? When data is encrypted, the factory reset must be done with the stock recovery.

It does not allow me to do a factory reset, I mean it gives an error whenever I try doing it
also using stock recovery
