I rooted the phone following the steps here on the xda thread and I tried afterwards upgrading the firmware to ics. I followed these instructions http://www.android.gs/update-htc-one...-firmware-rom/ and afterwards my phone just keeps restarting and restarting. I didn't make a recover image because I was too confident that it was going to work. Afterwards I panicked and pressed factory reset, thinking everything will turn back to normal. I lost all the files I saved onto the sd card and I don't know what to do now. I can't even use the all in one kit. Please help, I greatly appreciate it
If you can't get into bootloader/fastboot anymore, you're bricked. I would not know how to revive it. Otherwise, you're not bricked.
You need a functioning recovery. You can flash it in fastboot if you're unlocked.
If you have successfully flashed a recovery but you can't boot into recovery, try erasing your cache from fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
If you can boot into fastboot, make sure you can mount your sdcard partition. I don't mean mount it onto your computer over USB, but just mount it onto the root filesystem.
If you can not mout your sdcard partition, go to the sticky in Q&A on fixing unmountable sdcard. It involves flashing a stock recovery and clearing storage in bootloader. If you had to do this, flash your custom recovery back and confirm you can now mount your sdcard partition.
Now that you have a functioning recovery and a mountable sdcard, you're good to adb push a rom to your sdcard and flash it in recovery. I suggest you format system, data, and cache first. You probably need to flash the boot image that comes with the rom from fastboot.

I tried to use the superboot method for 2.3.4 as I have in the past, and did it, but now my phone gets stuck on the Google screen with the unlock symbol. I can boot into Bootloader Mode, but I have to do a battery pull to get off the Google screen. I need help ASAP.
I have a Mac with Fastboot installed
I need to get fresh 2.3.4, no root
I have the stock recovery
Try using oneclick.

That's not enough information. Plus I don't care about root. I just need a working phone at this point
Download both cwm recovery and a full rom for your device (see sticky in general forums for the rom)
Flash cwm recovery via fastboot
Boot into recovery
Factory/data reset
Wipe dalvik cache
Mounts&Storage > format /system (should be enough, if not format everything there is)
Mounts&Storage > mount /sdcard
Mounts&Storage > Mount USB storage
Copy rom on the sdcard
Install rom via recovery (install zip from sdcard)
If you get a signature error deactivate the sig check in recovery (install zip from sdcard menu, IIRC not sure, but it's there somewhere)

Afterwards you'll have a stock rom with stock recovery, unrooted.
Was trying to flash the ICS ROM V5 but it got stuck on the boot animation. I did a factory reset, surprisingly it was still there. So i used "Team Win Recovery Project" aka "twrp-crespo-2[DOT]0[DOT]0RC0[DOT]img" in nexusshacks.com. I went in there to do a factory reset but i wiped the ACTUAL system instead. So when i reboot i am stuck on Google. Unfortunely i only had 1 back up which is in ClockworkMod, but i cant access that. I dont mind my lost files because i can recover that but i want my phone to work again. Can i copy the nexus s contents from another nexus s and place it in my SD and will it work? If you guys have ideas please do reply because i need my phone fixed asap. Bootloader unlocked and rooted using superuser.

okay,am not very familiar with TWRP but your problem doesn't seem that big,you wiped the /system which should not affect your USB storage data (even if you wiped the USB storage it's not a problem),try to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power button) then go to recovery,mount the USB storage and put a ROM on it,then just flash the ROM and your device should boot up normally,i think you weren't stuck at the bootanimation since when you flash a new ROM the first boot could take from 5 to 10 minutes.
i usually do a clean install before flashing a new ROM (format system,data,cache,boot) and the device just boot up normally after flashing the new ROM so it's not a problem if you wiped your system just flash a new ROM.

I did this same thing a few weeks ago. I just had to reinstall everything (including the recovery) from fastboot. Worked like a charm.
I used the nexusshack tut to root my nexus had no problems.
You could go into recovery, mount usb storage, find the clockworkmod directory and copy that to your pc..
do a full data wipe and flash a new rom, then install rom manager flash CWM recovery . move the clockworkmod directory back to your phone. boot into recovery and restore you backup.
Just an idea .. not sure if it could work..(take no responsibility is it doesnt)
hello, last week i bricked my tf300, this is what happened...
i installed the energy rom along with the 4.2.1 bootloader, i was already using twrp 2.4.3.0 and it seemed to work fine for a while but then i had problems with a double screen after trying a different rom (cant remember which) anyway i tried the usual resets and wipes to to fix it but no joy. I then used the wipe data in bootloader thinking a full clean wipe would sort it but it just booted straight into twrp.
in twrp nothing will mount apart from system, ive used fastboot to flash various stock blobs, proper twrp img etc but even tho fastboot said everything flashed ok, i still boot into the old twrp which wont mount anything apart from system.
i then got an old 8 gig sd card and put stock roms and energy rom on root of the sd card , in twrp i mounted system but cant mount cache, data or sd card but strangely, i was able to copy the above roms from the sd card and move them to the mounted system partition which i was then able to install the energy rom with aroma installer , happy days i thought until after installation it rebooted straight to twrp again asking for password?
when i try to install stock roms by the above method it fails because cache isnt mounted. i think the twrp is corrupted, how do i fix this?
could someone with the know how tell me what im doing wrong,? should i full wipe again? should i wipe the twrp and how do i do this?
i am sort of a newb to this and any advice would be great
My phone completely discharged and now it wont boot.
I can boot into bootloader and recovery. I've flashed boot, recovery, and bootloader with fastboot.
In recovery I can't mount or format sdcard, usbstorage, system or data. Only cache will mount/format.
CWM recovery (v6.0.4.3) says "Error mounting /sdcard".
After I got this error, I've been messing around with fastboot and adb not completely understanding what I'm doing, so the phone is probably more messed up now than when I first got the error 2 days ago.
Do you guys think this is a hardware error, or is it something i can fix?

The newer CWM recoveries cannot mount SD card.
The latest TWRP i.e. v2.8.0.0 can mount SD card. Try doing that. Then take a backup of your stuff.
Now, copy a ROM in your SD card and then flash it from the recovery.
So i have unlocked my bootloader, rooted my Honor 8, and attempted to flash a Custom rom to my device. when following the directions to wipe and format data, i some how completely wiped my internal storage of my phone, and can only boot into recovery, no matter how many times i flash the ROM i always get a failure to install due to there being nothing in my internal storage.
it will not mount the data.
hopefully this isnt a perm brick. please let me know what direction to take to fix this!!!!
thanks in advance.
i some how fixed my error and got my rom to boot up successfully please close thread, sorry for a panicked post
