Hello everybody!
I own a HTC One M7 that I've bought of my buddy and accidently erased my OS file on the phone's recovery system. I've been looking through all possible tutorials on the internet (Youtube, Google, XDA...) and only found one that sounds similar to my problem of trying to copy ROM zip file to the freshly wiped device( I can't post the link atm, so you'll have to SG4it)
But here's where the issue begins; Since it's just stuck in the bootloading sequence(due to the misssing OS file), I have to do it through the recovery system. I've tried to follow the instructions as it commands, but can't even find what it calls the "c:\mini-sdk" anywhere on the computer(Windows 8 is the OS I have on the computer).
I've been working with this since 9.00 am in the morning until 10 p.m. on the evening, European timeline, and I really need help. I can't afford to leave it in a repair store and in constant need of my phone .
Any helpful advice or input will be very appreciated.
With Humble Regards
Alexander
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
If you have a rooted device with custom recovery(CWM or TWRP) then all should have to do is download a custom ROM and Gapps in .zip format and flash them in recovery.

Hi guys.
So today I was like experimenting with my phone (3 months old) and I was trying to install new ROM on it. I couldn't install custom ROM (CM 11.0) from my recovery mode because I was always getting some sort of errors so I took it to the next level and tried to do it with my PC. I downloaded ROM on PC and tried to install it with fastboot mode and the program that I downloaded on my PC asked me to flash .img file not .zip and I(dumbass) found boot.img inside of .zip file and selected only that boot.img file and flashed it. And now its stuck in boot loop.
My phone is not really famous and its not brand phone. It's "H18 NOA C24" some copy of S3 Mini I couldn't find the stock firmware or ROM for it on the internet. Please help, tell me what can I do to bring my phone back to live.
Thanks
Hi,
So what happened is you just flashed a kernel which probably isn't compatible with current ROM
Unfortunately I can't find anything about your device here so I would ask your question in the q&a section here and hope someone will have a fix for you

Hello all. I am a relatively new member to XDA and I have actually posted this issue on the thread to from which I downloaded the custom ROM I'm running. I am using and LG G2 D800 running [ROM][5.0][CM12][UNOFFICIAL][ALL-VARIANTS] CyanogenMod 12.0 For The LG G2, which I installed about a month ago. I originally rooted my phone using towelroot and installed TWRP custom recovery 2.7.0.0. I installed 3 or 4 other custom ROMS, using just my phone, that I honestly had no idea how to root using a computer. Since, then I have learned and acquired the tools I need to root from my computer, and after trying for quite some time, was able to find drivers for my phone that allowed my computer to recognized it.
There are 2 main problems that arose about a day after installing this ROM.
Firstly, after I had installed all of the pertinent files needed to flash the above ROM, I attempted to install the beta version of SU that the thread related to the above ROM said was necessary to keep root. Well, that version did not install correctly, though the ROM did install and is working about as well as an experimental version of a ROM can....
Once the ROM had been running for about a day or so, I realized how buggy it was and decided that it would be smart to go back to a more stable ROM as Lollipop was just around the corner(Or at least a stable CM12).
So, I went to go back into my TWRP custom recovery to do a wipe then install another ROM that I had backed up. When I attempted to do this, I realized the 2nd BIG PROBLEM, my phone had stopped recognizing my internal sd card, so I was unable to view any Backups I had previously saved. So, I started researching and found the the adb shell code to get my phone to recognize my sd card, but when I tried to use the command to do so, I was given the reply that su(part of the command) could not be found. So, I posted again, and was told,"you need to re-root." Well, that is good and well, but I have tried every method I can find to root my phone from my PC, but they are all for LG G2 D800 running some lesser version of android, never 5.0....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and oh yeah, I was able to get the new Beta super SU file pushed onto my phone and saved in the remaining space it does recognize, but I couldn't actually install it to give me SU priveleges again. Basically, if I can re-root, I can get my SD card back, do a full wipe, then install another more stable ROM ASAP>
Thanks again, so so very much. Please, Please help me get this phone working. I'm feeling more and more like a fool everyday knowing Im paying for a phone I can barely even use....
Happy Holidays,
Thad
Hi,
Asking in the rom thread is a good idea. If you don't find answers there, then you can ask for help in this dedicated help thread in your device section,

Hi,
I recently bought an Umi Iron and believe I have accidentally managed to soft brick it (based on what ive found on google and the forums here) I need a way to get it working again and have some ROMS (2 official ones) which are compatible for the device. The device will boot into recovery and allows restoration from an SD card, ABD Push or the cache. The cache is empty and although i have searched for how to do it from an SD card i have found no information (I've tried putting the .zip files onto the device and installing those but the device says "installation aborted"). I have a SDK which I am attempting t learn to use in order to fix the device. Any information about how to use the program/get the new ROM flashed via fastboot would be much appreciated as I have very little knowledge of what I am doing as I have never attempted to root or flash a phone. The phone comes pre rooted from the factory (I dont know if this info is relevant but I'm working on the assumption the more info i can give the better). The device entered this startup loop when i removed an app which i had accidentally installed as a system file while trying to use an app to move it to my SD card. Any information and help is much appreciated
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue, but perhaps the members in this thread can help..

Hi Darth,
Many thanks for your reply, since i posted this thread I have done some further research and narrowed the problem down further. The device runs android 5.1 and there is a setting in the developer settings which locks the OEM bootlocker. This is the issue i am having. Because the device has this option checked, I cannot unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom to rectify the issue as i cannot turn the device on to access these settings. I have seen many people have had this problem with devices and android 5.1 including Nexus and HTC phones. I have been unable to find a fix for this issue though so if you know of any articles which may point me in the direction that would be most helpful
Thanks again
I would say the best place to ask about that is in the thread I linked above. But if that's not helpful, you could ask here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421
Every device is different as far as if or how the bootloader can be unlocked. So you really need an answer specific to your device.
Hope it works out for you!
Hello
I had a phone which I unfortunately downloaded malware , you can ask but you will see naiveity and mistakes I made.
Anyhow.... I had to flash my phone THL 5000 mkt6592 and was not sure how, even after google searching etc. I eventually downloaded the Latest (after the first version I thought was the latest it was the top one in the web page but the latest was the bottom :-/ ) worked... to an extant. I flashed and formatted and downloaded the ROM I got from the THLphoneshop.
First thing i did- I bricked my phone all well and good hopefully the virus/malware is gone.
1) I thought everything was great, the malware that installed a ROM without any text was no longer seen (positive to an extant).
2a) I then tried again and the phone worked with the imei not being valid without my sim card as I don't want to put it in yet till I fix it.
2b) The touchscreen does not work properly, I press the top to try to select a button in the centre ... I have read similar things but not sure what to do.
3) My phone is now looping in the reset, I have tried to boot in safe mode hoping this would be fixed, I will try again and flash again but not sure. I have tried various tutorials.
androidmtk website was where I got it from, .... what was ROM with my rom sorry for the Intended pun... what was wrong my rom or with what I did?
Is the Rom Rom? (Is the ROM wrong? intended pun again... are there rules for the number of bad jokes in messages? )
Are there other better ROMS I can use which are just as secure, and easy for a newbie like me to put on my phone?
Thanks in advance.

Hello all
I don't want to be that guy that makes one post and runs for the hills I actually want to be part of the community, unfortunately this current situation is driving me nuts, to the point where I just have to post.
You see I own a cubit x17 that features quite a lot of bloatware and malware that needs removing.
I have rooted my device using kingroot and even gone as far as to install TWRP. I have downloaded a custom ROM for my phone that is saved in my downloads.
The problem is I just can't figure out how to install it...... I've tried everything from using TWRP to manual booting (there's not a single install option on the manual boot screen) and as far as I know no SD card in the phone and I cant seem to find the download folder from the boot screen.
Please can somebody help before I pull the remaining hair I have left out.
