Have you got CWRecovery? If you have, flash any custom ROM then flash any stock
RUU, but before you can do that, you need to SuperCID your device.
If you have CWRecovery and you have made a backup of a previous ROM, just restore it.

Hold volume down and power and factory reset, or as stated before if your rooted go to cwm factory reset or restore previous rom

well unfortunately I dont have a CW restore because I was trying to wipe the phone completely (to get a fresh start).I noticed that I can fix it with ODIN somehow but it says I need a stock rom.So ur saying grab any of those Pyramid_RUU roms and it will work?

If u supercid with all ones you can flash a ruu.exe and it will bring ur phone back to life.
You don't have cwm or u just don't have a restore Rom?
Are u rooted or s-off?
If so put this file on the root of your sd card:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3XJEHM9A
Boot into recovery and flash and u will.have the newest cwm, than boot into recovery,than factory reset or download a rom of your choice and flash
You should be fine now.

[Q] cant find zips

so i just got my sgs3 and rooted it and unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, wiped and went to flash the efs thing and cant find any of my zips i put on the phone...what do i do? can i flash a rom with odin(new from the htc world) or do i need to go back to stock?

Are they on the root of your SD card?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

i thought they were, i tried flashing cwm through odin and now i cant even get to recovery, downloading stock .tar now to try again but its a huge download...:crying:

SD card must be formatted Fat32 or none of the recoveries will see it.

it should be, it was in my inc and i wiped and formatted it before i put it in

If it is fat32 it should be able to see it. If you format with phone it will format to extFat. Put it back in PC and and click computer. Right click the sddrive and it should give you the format. Can't help with CWM since I haven't used it since Tbolt. I am using TWRP with no issues.

card was formatted correctly...did it again just to be sure, 1 hour left for the stock .tar...lol
is there a way to get the internal sd card out easily? to check that?

i am booting again...did the factory root 66 thing and im back, gonna try flashing again tonight and hope it goes better this time...
thanks for the help that you guys gave!

HELP. Can't Mount SDcard

I was flashing over clean rom from my old paranoid android and I was stupid and formated my sd card from the fastboot screen on the phone. I read on XDA that the thing to do is mount, format on computer, place rom on sdcard and install.
The rom is currently on my sd card after I formatted from computer. I am in TWRP and was under install and found the rom zip but it tells me "This operation may install incompatible software and render your device unuseable"
I stopped to ask before I make an expensive paperweight. How do I proceed?

I've never seen twrp say that... I wiped my SD card back in the day and can't remember anything like that. Are you on 1.14 Hboot? Maybe you need to adb boot.IMG first? As long as your sure its Evita ROM should be ok

This is normal. In the last 3 days I've flashed Roms back and forth and twrp WILL list this but only as a warning. It's perfectly fine. It's like a condition to cover everyone's butt except yours, since you (the owner) have taken the opportunity to change software on your phone.
If you've gotten to that screen that means you got the Rom on your sd card. Don't forget to wipe all data and a reset ALL inside of twrp. Flash away!

So I should install and then wipe cache, factory, system... etc ? Everything wiped?

Reverse the order you typed in your last post. Some Roms give that option before its flashed. However, just do it yourself. Clear cache, dalvick cache, wipe system and then factory reset ALL INSIDE twrp. Don't factory reset outside of twrp.
THEN install Rom from twrp. Notice the warning you mentioned and simply follow the install directions.

Good lord this is terrifying. haha so I installed it and now its bootlooping. I wiped in that order and everything.

NVM. Got it!! My heart stopped lol. Thanks guys.

[Q] HTC one accidentally factory reset/wipe from bootloader

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/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.
