[Q] HTC one accidentally factory reset/wipe from bootloader - General Questions and Answers

I think I may have screwed up pretty big, but hopefully someone can help me out. I unlocked the bootloader on the HTC one, was trying to install the updateSU.zip but it was not showing up in the SD card in clockwordmod. I accidentally did a factory reset and now I can't get passed the HTC logo screen and I don't have anything backed up. I can still get into clockwordmod but I'm not sure how to undo this. I have tried searching about similar problems but it gets confusing on other phones when people start talking about external SD card slots. I think I can still side load roms through the all in one kit, but I am not sure. Any help would be much appreciated, I am so sad!

If you can access the recovery than your good. All you have to do now is to flash ROM supported by the installed kernel or flash another kernel and ROM.
If you're aiming on recovering some data then I'm afraid I have to burst your bubble because factory reset wipes all user data.

Alright, thanks for the reply. I am not concerned about user data, I just want to be able to use the phone at this point. I am not rooted yet, I can't seem to install the zip file. Would I be able to flash another kernel and ROM? or do I have to wait until the factory RUU is available?

You can try flashing a custom kernel and a custom ROM. If you've successfully unlocked your bootloader then you should be able to do it without any trouble.
Also how do you mean you can't install a custom ROM from the SD card? Does it write out any errors?

I can't install a rom from the SD card, when I look into "install zip from SD card" it isn't there. I put the .zip file into the internal memory before it got soft bricked and it never showed up in clockworkmod. I don't know how to access the internal memory now, so I tried side loading the zip with the all in one program, and it starts and says it finished, but it just stays at the HTC logo screen. I tried waiting for about 12 minutes and it never booted up.

Have you tried mounting the USB storage from CWM while connected to your PC? You could transfer the zip onto the SD card that way.
But anyway, if the installed ROM wont boot up then it is most likley due to the fact that you're trying to run it on a kernel it does not support.

You could also sideload the ROM if that is an option in CWM (I use TWRP)

I tried to sideload the custom rom Orio on the HTC one but it gets a kernel error at the end.
As soon as clockworkmod pops up I get
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I am also using clockworkmod v6.0.3.0

HTC released the kernel source code for the HTC one on their websitefor some carriers, but mine isn't out yet (sprint). Is that what I need to get it back to factory rom?

I found some RUU files for the HTC one (M7) at android files RUU website, it shows Asian and European files but no North American or US yet. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but it would be nice to start from scratch, or at least be useable.

I'm going through the same thing.. I accidently managed wiped everything on the phone when rooting and trying for S-Off. which i managed to achieve it all, until i saw "TAMPERED" atop of unlocked. That's when i tried to get rid of it and somewhere in that process, I fukt **** up... Now it seems I'm hooped.. Phone just goes to bootloader or fastboot, or whatever's on the screen.. I even used the All in One Kit to try and push a recovery countless times.. Don't know the command to push recovery or n e thing else to device... When i try, "Device not found" is what i get.. Just trying not to take it back, but looks like i may have too... If there's any in sight on this, that'll be awesome.... Cheers

[Q] TWRP wont let me flash rom, no OS installed

Well i was trying to install cleanROM 5.1 and cleanKERNEL on my HOX, but every time i would try it would say failed (unable to mount /sdcard, etc.) so i wiped my cache, did a factory reset, wiped external storage, then accidentally did a system reset so i have no OS installed now, i was running 2.20 before but found a tut to unlock bootloader and root. in bootloader it says ***tampered*** and ***unlocked***
So if i have a custom recovery installed that means im rooted right?
and basically what can i do to install this rom and kernel without an error

You have to plug it in to computer, open up "my computer" and click it... It'll ask you to reformat sdcard. Once its done, download cleanrom on your computer, mount your sdcard in trwp, and drag it onto your phone. open up recovery on your phone and flash entire rom :thumbup:

Just wanted to let you know that you are in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL forum, you need to ask your question in the Galaxy Nexus forum. That will be the best place to get an answer.

You have to flash the boot.img separately. There are only about 100 threads on this issue.

Problem with OS

Just rooted and s-off a replacement one S. Everything went fine until i got to the point i was going to flash a rom. Ive been using the viper rom. after starting the installer it seemed out that all it did was format the memory. After it finished it rebooted and stayed on the HTC splash screen for probably twenty minutes before i did a hard boot. after getting back into recovery and trying again it did the same thing. i decided to just start over and do reboot from recovery but it is saying there is no OS. so i went back to view my card from recovery and everything on it was erased. Now im trying to copy the viper rom back over via recovery but the transfer speed is down to about 50kbps and keeps saying its timing out. any ideas
What recovery are u using? I read several times, that ViperRom and the latest twrp don't fit. In case of using twrp u should try an older version.

I guess i was using the twrp with that all in one toolkit i would switch to cwm but i cant get my computer now to reconigze the phone. i keep getting the htc mtp driver issue and haven't been able to figure it out. I figured if i can get the other recovery installed i should be able to flash a os

go into bootloader, then fastboot usb mode.
the flash the new recovery via fastboot command, or with the all in one toolkit (chose custom, then locate your file)
i switched over to cwm and tried copying a viper rom to my phone but it keeps erroring out during the transfer. I tried a smaller rom and it copied over but all its doing with i click install is going to a black screen then back to cwm
i also tried several other roms that were smaller in size and it was doing the same thing

[Q] (SOLVED) Hardcore brick - Kudos to the genius who can solve this one

Hey,
i am a owner of a Rogers HTC one X (evita)
I did brick it, to a point where i'm stuck and don't know what to do.
My phone was already unlocked, with clockwork in, superuser and such, but i was rolling on stock RUU.
I decided to try over cyanogen nightly, wich i did in the past, and i felt like i want to give it a try again.
So i download it to my phone, open clockwork, install from SD ... everything worked like a charm.
Then... when i booted on the ROM, it shut down after the htc logo.
So at this moment i said.. well no worry i'll go see what's wrong. So i went back in clockwork.
I cleared the cache, dalvik and such... and i (yes forgive me for this one!) restore default settings .... and probably lost the ROM in the phone.
So... i decide to see if it's still in the phone .. so i went in "install from SD" ... then, cannot find \SD card.... shoosh.
I try to go in mount/unmount ... cannot find SD card ....
I still have access to bootload, to flash up some stuff. But whatever i do, i cannot access my internal memory in the phone ... Or transfert a rom (if there is a magic trick somewhere please tell me!)
SO i'm stuck with a one x with a boot that crash ... And a clockwork wich i can do nothing with.
Any clues?
Never mind, I misread, didn't see the part where you said recovery can't see sd card.

Plug it into a pc and format sd card the factory reset in bootloader corrupta the sd card. After getting sd card straight get rid of cwm and flash twrp 2.3.3.1, nothing higher... Then wipe cache from fastboot. Copy Rom to sd card and install again after wiping system, and caches from recovery. If you are on hboot 1.14 or higher with s-on you have to flash boot.img from fastboot.

Yeah that's what I said originally. But he mentioned CWM can't find the sd card when he tries to mount.

That's cause cwm sucks on this phone lol. I did the same s**t with factory reset in bootloader long before the nocturnal fix came out. Took all day to figure it out. I found the windows format of sd card is easier than nocturnal fix and quicker

Well the thing his, i figure it out, was able to get access to my SD card with TWRP ... So i'm good now
But ...
Whatever ROM i put in, i dont have access to my touchscreen. I've red several guide on how to downgrade, and i totally understand how to do it.
So .. i need to get in debugging mode in a rom to start with (not superCID S-on) ... But how can i get to there if my touchscreen doesnt work ! ARGG !
So i'm trying to find a ROM somehow that uses the most recent touchscreen software .. So i can get in debugging mode and start it over.
All rom i've found i have no access to the touchscreen.
And getting back to stock is impossible (the RUU fail to install).
So what's next?

[Q] TWRP/NO OS - ROGERS - Searching forums and nothing!

I have been reading for the last couple weeks, thinking I have an answer and end up further into the hole.
Rogers HTC One X / EVITA / HBOOT 2.14. / 2.4 TWRP initially, now 2.6 / Unlocked boot loader / s-on
1. Started trying to flash AOKP 4.2.2. Flashed boot.img, then followed with TWRP recovery. All I could get was the language screen and then it stalled. Tried numerous iterations of this with various wipes and flash first and flash after.
2. Next tried Viper 3.2.7. All good till it gets to startup screen then it stops (I understand Viper has its boot.img installed to start not needing it flashed).
3. While trying various wipes to see if it would install completely I mistakenly did a factory reset! Now no OS! No Nandroid! No ROM.zip!
4. To get a ROM on SDCard tried ADB sideload thru TWRP. after running script it says unable to mount SDCARD! Suggests I reboot system! Now a little leery of rebooting for fear it will not.
5. Also tried to MOUNT HTV via TWRP on to laptop. Did not recognize said ti initialize. Formatted FAT 32 (via MAC). Now will not mount SD Card. I did drop Viper.zip into mount (cache and system OK) but can not find it using FILE MANAGER via TWRP
6. Now am in BOOTLOADER screen of Android. Thought I could flash a ROM but from what I read it does not look possible.
Can any one point me in the right direction to get this thing up and running. At this point, as much as I am learning all the time, it does me no good having my phone down for two weeks (sure glad I kept my Nexus One).
Any answer at this stage is a good answer and I appreciate all input!
Thanks

Sounds like you did a factory reset in bootloader which corrupts the sd card after unlocking the bootloader. You used to be able to just mount it on pc and format it but after the jb update I don't think that's possible due to the drive no longer being a mass storage device but an mtp device instead. There was a method to fix it developed by team nocturnal but it looks like the site is inaccessible right now. I'll see if there's a way to fix it and get back to you. Bear with me.
[/COLOR]By any chance have you tried wiping sd card in twrp 2.6?
Also, have done SuperCID yet?

SuperCID has not been done. It is S-ON presently.
I wiped SD Card as suggested. Saw it set up partitions. And now TWRP shows up when I mount . Can I just drop a ROM in and flash via TWRP? Any suggestions for a ROM. Could not get AOKP 4.2.2 to run or Viper 3.2.7.
Thanks for the quick assist at getting it to MOUNT.
Flash a stock sense rom and then fastboot flash boot boot.img extracted from the rom. Then use jet to downgrade hboot and SuperCID and then s-off. It'll save you lots of headaches.

It all sounds simple when you say it.
I will find a stock sense ROM to install then follow with boot.img.
Is it necessary to wipe anything more then Dalvik and Cache?
Thanks again.

In twrp 2.6 the factory reset wipes everything except sd card and system. You don't have to wipe system but I always do when I'm flashing a new rom.

Custom Rom Trouble

I have an old Vodafone Sensation that I wanted to update to Kitkat and give it to my eldest son as his first phone.
So I have done the following:
Unlock bootloader
S off
Rooted
Superuser
Ext4 Recovery
So found a nice 4.4.4 rom (Carbon) and deep cleaned the phone and fat32 formated the SD card using Ext4. When I try and install the ROM through Ext4 it says status 0 installation aborted. Tried with a couple of ROMs but all say the same. Now the phone only boots to splash screen no further. I tried to get a recovery.img for vodafone from the RUU but couldnt find the temp files so can't get back to stock or install new.
Anyone any ideas as my son is excited about the phone but I can't figure out how to get over the status 0 error.
Any help much appreciated
