OK in short terms:
I highly recommend to change to TWRP 2.7.1.1 or latest philz recovery. (first I think you have to unlock your bootloader)
Next ...like you allready posted... try to sideload or push your sense 6 ROM
And yes I know sideload needs some patience...

I think its an driver issue....check your drivers first..
Lo0k into device manager in windows what your HTC M_4 is listed.
Is there maybee an (!) ?
Your device should be listed under "my HTC" then fastboot should work correct.
Don´t use Windows 8 many driver problems reported rather use Windows 7

You never said which OS you're using. Just re-installing the drivers usually won't fix an issue with usb.
Have you tried another cable? Tried plugging into a different USB port?
When you go into device manager, do you see any android, or HTC devices?

don't despair and do something rash. I doubt your phone is ruined. I had a lot of trouble getting drivers to work in Windows 7 and thought I had ruined my phone too. Once I got drivers working it was super easy to get my phone running again.

Do you have access to another computer? Preferably windows XP? Or can you install a clean copy of Windows 7 onto your current computer? I've read other people have success booting to Ubuntu from a disc as well.
I haven't tried this, but others have said it eliminated Windows USB issues

So,
Mr jollywhitefoot If you read carefully you will see that he write in first post:
" I can't mount on otg, recovery says Internal storage 0mb OTG 0mb" so why do you think this will happen.???"
Yes because the partitions are messed up and if you not format them, you will never ever get them to work.
All others that have resurrected their phones here have formatted partitions before or flashed a firmawre where it will be done also.
So if I recommend to try formatting partitions there is a reason for....nothing to warn of for you in this case!!!
And if you recommend this guy to setup a linux distribution from a live cd then advise him also to setup adb + fastboot in linux correctly.

[Q] Bricked phone, please help!

Today I flashed the last CleanRom 5.1 then I flashed kernel BeastMode evita 4.4 and the phone has bricked in the screen of HTC. So I did a big mistake, in the bootlloader i am pretty sure I have wiped the phone, now I have no ROM in the phone, and the TWRP will not let me select mount sd card. I have thinking in push the ROM in ADB but sincerely I have no idea how to do that. Actually I´m in the bootloader screen and connected the phone, appearing "Fastboot USB". Could someone kindly tell me what are the orders in the Command Prompt to connect the phone to my pc and push the rom?
The phone was with CM10 ROM, rooted and TWRP provided by a friend who is not available to help me.
BTW sorry for my regular english, I´m from Argentina.

My First advice, relock bootloader and run ruu...If your on the newer hboot don't you have to flash boot.img as well before flashing the rom? Did you wipe cashe and dalvik when you flashed? Did you see if rom first worked before flashing kernel?

I have flashed boot.img in the aroma installer of cleanrom. Then I wipe cache and dalvik after flash rom. But I made the mistake of not checking if it worked the ROM before installing the new kernel.. I installed after the rom.
Could you explain me how to relock bootloader and run ruu?
Appreciate your help

I'm sure someone will provide a ruu download based on your phone. Fastboot oem lock command in fastboot to lock bootloader. I would wait though to see if there is still a way to flash Rom and mount your phones sd card.by the way did you create a recovery in twrp of stock rooted version?
You dont need to RUU. I don't know why everyone runs to that.
Open TWRP, mount usb storage.
If you're on windows, it should prompt you to format your sd card. Format it to fat32.
Copy whatever rom you want onto the card.
Install in TWRP.

Hi, I still cannot solving my problem :/ I locked the phone with the command "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot. Then I downloaded a RUU called htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012.exe and I´ve executed the file in fastboot but appears during the installation process an error message that the phone is not connected with the USB cable, when obviously connected.
I have no idea what to do, I tried to check the connections, right now I'm trying to download another RUU apparently compatible, my CID is 11111111 and my HBOOT is 1.09.0000. Can you think of anything else I can do?

Newer RUU version should still work, but avoiding the 1.14 hboot is a good idea. So I too would recommend getting the 1.85 RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670238
OP should make sure he has the latest HTC drivers installed on the PC, or try re-installing them. Also try a different USB port. I've seen more than a few times on here, where it was simple as the drivers or the USB port.

Don't freak out, if your phone can be turned on it can be fixed.are you sure you have done everything they have said? Or have you tried unlocking again wiping and flashing a Rom? Does the computer make those 2 beeps when you plug your phone in?

This happened to me and I was able to do
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (using original recovery)
Then reboot into bootloader then fastboot
fastboot boot TWRP.img
Then, once you're in TWRP, you can just flash a rom
Hope it helps! I'm still kinda nooby w/ htc as I was with motorola forever! I got my phone 1 month ago so... yeah
Try it! I was hopeless but I just kept trying!
Good luck!

Also, that just means your battery is low.
Just charge the phone while in bootloader overnight.

If you do Factory reset in bootloader it messes up your SD Card.
Boot into recovery
Select "Mount"

Select "Mount USB Storage" in TWRP
On the PC, find the SDCard's drive in My Computer, right-click on it, and select "Format"
Proceed with formatting the SDCard ("Quick Format" is fine)
Safely remove the USB storage from Windows
Reboot

Hello Xda members, first of all I want to say that I DID search!!
My sensation XE has the following problems. When I plug it in the computer in Fastboot mode, It doesn't show "FASTBOOT USB". It only shows "FASTBOOT". So yeahh.. Thats one problem and the other is in 4EXT recovery that it can't mount the sd card.
I don't know if these two have to do something with each other or not. In all the years of flashing phones this never happend to me before.
Hope to hear something from you guys soon!

Try a different OS like Ubuntu or Windows 7.
Also, if you have 4ext, choose mount USB from 4ext options, and format your sd card with your computer.
Format everything on the phone via 4ext and try reinstalling your Rom.
Back up stuff as you see fit.
Happy to help.

2 Problems at once

Hello! I was trying to flash BAM Rom for TF300T. Unfortunately, i forgot to update my recovery (TWRP) in order to flash the KitKat version of the rom, and basicly now i can't launch the device normally since the flashing failed, but in the other hand i can still open my recovery and do stuff.
PROBLEMS: 1. I can't flash the newest recovery because my drivers simply aren't working ( <waiting for device> etc. )! I have tried installing ASUS Suite and other drivers i found online, both on 2 different PCs, nothing worked.
2. I can't flash a new rom with the recovery since there's no way to access the tablets storage. TWRP won't recognize my MicroSD
(Error mounting MicroSD).
So, here's what I need: Some way to access the device's storage or mount my MicroSd, or some way to fix the drivers so fastboot recognises my Tab!

PROBLEMS: 1. I can't flash the newest recovery because my drivers simply aren't working ( <waiting for device> etc. )! I have tried installing ASUS Suite and other drivers i found online, both on 2 different PCs, nothing worked.
2. I can't flash a new rom with the recovery since there's no way to access the tablets storage. TWRP won't recognize my MicroSD
(Error mounting MicroSD).
So, here's what I need: Some way to access the device's storage or mount my MicroSd, or some way to fix the drivers so fastboot recognises my Tab!

Have you tried reinstalling the Universal Naked USB Drivers? That fixes the fastboot issue for may people.

I have tried multiple times but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

Are you using Windows 8? There is a different way to do it with that. If it still doesn't work, you can try installing linux mint or ubuntu and work from there.

[Q] halfbrick? adb doesn't work but Fastboot does

Hi guys,
I wiped everything by mistake in TWRP 2.8.4.0 and now I'm puzzled... I did a FULL (yeah....) wipe before flashing a custom ROM, but then, everything was gone, of course.
I still have access to TWRP ; the bootloader is unlocked ; was on JB 4.2 .
So I tried to put a Rom back into the memory of the Tab, but :
1/ TWRP won't mount my SD card with a ROM on it... Does anyone have an idea why?
2/ adb doesn't recognize the device... but "fastboot devices" does! So I have access to all the fastboot commands.. Sadly, it doesn't flash any .zip.
So I'm guessing I have to solve the SD card problem OR flash a system.img with flashboot...?
I don't know what to do. I read that an older version of TWRP might mount my SDcard, but I'm quite scared to try and flash another recovery, since I'm not sure it will not definitely brick the thing.
Thanks for any answer

Use MTP to get said file onto the tablet ??
Or install the drivers to enable adb ??
Thx Josh

Thanks for the reply
But the drivers are already installed, that's why I don't get why adb doesn't work.
as for the MTP, I can't get to it, since there is no ROM installed on the tab anymore : when I switch it on, it stays stuck on the ASUS logo, but is not detected by the computer.
Do you know where I could get an image of a stock firmware to flash with fastboot? or another way to push a file?

Oh, ok sorry, I didn't understand.
Then what is the MTP on TWRP? Is it in " Advanced"/"File Manager"? Cause then I don't know how to use it...

Nope you should be able to plug it into a PC and move files to it drag and drop the zip ....
But you should still have adb working, it is a must have when messing with android ...
If you would like to look into this more drop me a hangouts at [email protected]
Thx Josh
Hi dandystrion,
Sorry i cant give an answer, but MTP should be activated per default at twrp and you should have your device as a drive on PC.
I'm intessted on how did you flash twrp on an unlocked bootloader? I fighting with my tf700 since October to unlock my bootloader to install CyanogenMod. I did a lots of tickets and RMA, which didn't helps.
Can you give me a link or a short explanation how I can flash twrp?
Thanks

I unlocked the bootloader with the Transformer Toolkit v3.2.0 (I can't post a link since I'm a new member, but google it up, you'll find easily) and flashed TWRP 2.8.4 with fastboot without any problem. Hope it will work out for you.

Thanks man.
Well the PC does not see the tablet. I'm quite sure of my drivers since adb worked fine until I messed up (the drivers were installed through the latest version of Asus Pad Pc Suite)... I tried a adb sideload too : no connection.
I'll be glad to get some help.
Tried a thrid, empty brand new sdcard, and it did the trick.
Still don't know why adb wouldn't work, but now it's fine, so... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the help
I have checked it. But it is based on the Asus Unlock Tool, which doesn't work for me in the past!
Thanks
