Majorly Screwed Up (Relocked Bootloader) - HTC U12+ Questions & Answers

So i relocked my bootloader via adb and now im stuck in a bootloop without a custom recovery. I've screwed myself pretty bad what do i do.
RU_SECURITY_FAIL boot_a and bootloader isn't BL_UNLOCKED)
I can still boot temp TWRP but I don't know how that's going to help.
download mode
SD NOT MOUNTED
OTG NOT MOUNTED
FILE NOT FOUND
I got into this predicament because i wanted to flash RUU but it was not recognizing my otg drive ( under 32 GB) and could't flash with sd card (because it's over 128 GB).

How do i flash it from download mode? My phone isnt recogonizing my otg flash drive and wont read my sd. Also can't flash boot.img or system.img

download htc tool ARUWizard.exe flash
rom.zip OK......

Make sure whatever OTG or SDCard is formatted in fat32 and doesn't have a UEFI partition. exFat is supported however a lot of times a GPT table is created which then makes a UEFI partition when formatting as exfat. That is read by the bootloader instead of the main partition that has the run zip (2Q55).
I'd suggest using Rufus on Windows to format your SDCard/OTG and selecting LEGACY/MBR and fat32.
On linux disk utility has the option for MBR when selecting to erase the entire disk. On Windows it's hit or miss since UEFI is normally hidden and when using the default formatting tool it'll just erase the main partition without changing the partition table back to MBR.
Regular RUU from HTC should've worked just fine

If you're using macos you'll have to use the terminal to create just one fat32 or exfat partition

cwm cant mount /system and /data

Hey guys I need your help
I've been using cm7 for a couple of weeks now. I havnt had problems until today.
I flashed build 32 over and for some reason it wasn't booting up. It was on the splash screen for a while (it usually does that and when I take battery out and restart it boots) so then I took the battery out. Next thing I know is that my phone is stuck on the mytouch screen... I went to recovery and when it booted into cwm 3. I got a error saying it couldn't open system/recovery/log or something like that... it still went to cwm and I checked the mounts and it said /system and /data wasn't mounted. I clicked it to mount and it gave me an error saying it couldn't ... therefore it wouldn't let me install cm7 or do a wipe... is there anything I can do to fix this? It seems to be that the nand. Is corrupted or something...
I think, based on your description, that pulling the battery at the particular instant caused the secondary problem.
A "factory reset" reformats /data and /cache. But not /system. You can do that manually from the mounts and storage menu, then either restore a nandroid backup or install cm7 and gapps.

Hmm I font think its just two directories... I think my whole internal storage is messed up. I tried using the reformat option from cwm but no luck

I think a lot of people are having problems with clockwork 3 in the nexus forums, and more specifically with it screwing up partitions. I was luck just to lose my ext position on my sd...
Reformat and reflash seems to be the easiest fix...

i dont know how to repartition the phone storage :/
i tried doing it off cwm and it wouldn't let me... is there anyway to do this through adb? i think adb is working...
Reformat the whole card, and then try to repartition. This will write your data, so back up first...

how do i do that? o_o through cwm? i tried formating everything including system data cache... and i dont know how to repartition through cwm. cwm is the only thing i can get to right now :/
Sorry, looks like the only option in clockwork is to partition. Can you not do it from your pc?

guys... ((((( am i totally effed up? i couldn't find anything i could do.. no matter what i did, the /system and /data would NOT mount... so i cant format it
I have never tried this, but you might consider it.
In this thread is a method to return your phone to stock -- it uses the bootloader's ability to repartition and reformat everything somewhat automatically, using a file called PD15IMG.ZIP from the SD card's root folder.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11011692&highlight=pd15img.zip#post11011692
There's a link in the thread to the .zip file -- look to post signatures. Put the file on an SD card (with another phone, or camera, or Micro-SD to SD adapter, etc.) and boot into the bootloader with that file on the SD card.
I do not know if you can rename the .zip it to update.zip and force it to flash with Fastboot's update command, because the PD15IMG.ZIP is a specific thing this phone's bootloader looks for. As stated, I have never tried this, and do not recommend this. It might work, or, it might cause more damage. Putting the file on an SD card without Fastboot will be safer.
You could try to boot your phone into fastboot,
and then type
fastboot erase -w system
Your phone wont boot after that, but you should be able to flash a new rom from clockwork.
ive tried both the pd15img.zip method. it says "partition update fail"
and i also tried the "fastboot erase system -w" and it did not work.. it says that it can't be done. i also tried to format /system through adb and cwm, and both says it can't because it must be mounted before
From your description, it seems to me that the internal flash memory has a damaged partition table -- easy enough to repair if this were a hard drive you could remove and take to a linux system somewhere. But it's a phone, and a bit of flash memory that can't be removed.
Flashboot has an "erase <partition>" command. I don't know what it does, since it's not well documented. Does it reformat an existing partition? Or does it remove the partition from the partition table? There is no commensurate "create <partition>" command, so perhaps it recreates an empty partition. But I tend to doubt it.
I would think such work might be done from an engineering bootloader or engineering recovery system -- one available to HTC service technicians, for example.
Since you're not getting a great deal of help in the MT4G subforum, you might post your question in the top level Questions and Answers forum.
Sorry I'm not much help with this.
One last thought. The bootloader itself has a Factory Reset. That might do it. Might not. But like chicken soup, it probably couldn't hurt. Boot into the bootloader (volume down while powering up), select BOOTLOADER with the volume control and then the power button, then select FACTORY RESET. Perhaps it will do something positive.
eh.. i couldnt do anything. i tried all options. its like impossible to reformat or repartition the drive..
i actually called up insurance and they'll be sending me a new mytouch 4g..
we have just told them that it doesnt go past the mytouch screen.. would they figure out that it is rooted? i mean.. choosing recovery from the bootloader menu takes it right into cwm lol
Just flash the stock recovery back via fastboot...

TWRP Deleted backups and ROM's, Phone Bricked

I decided I wanted to try out some new ROM's on my phone, so I booted into TWRP and wiped /system, /cache, /data, and /dalvik cache. I went to /sdcard in order to pick the .zip i wanted to install from, and TWRP dumped my SD card! now I'm stuck in recovery with no ROM or Backups and no way to move files onto it cause the SD card isn't removable. Any suggestions?
Mount your device using TWRP and transfer the rom zip you want onto the SD card then flash the zip. I'm fairly sure that should work :laugh:.

Whenever I have it plugged in, it doesn't let me mount the SDcard, and when i try to mount for USB Storage, it gives me the format window in windows and forces me to format to FAT32. I do that, move a backup onto there, and its not recognized by TWRP.

You cant format it to fat32 as that formats the card to be used like a usb stick on your computer. Wipe the card again, and attempt to mount. Don't format the sdcard with fat32, normally there is an option for this, if not then just cancel and check if you see the card under My Computer, open then copy paste the zip.
Every time I try to wipe the SDcard, it fails.

Ok well in that case you need to use the ruu to re install the stock software. Do you have superCID?
---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------
I ask about superCID because to run the RUU you need to relock the bootloader and if you don't have superCID you have to downgrade firmware version but just make sure you are reading everything before you attempt to run it.
i just downloaded superCID, but i don't really know much about it or how it can help me

I used this guide early on to get rooted and unlocked this may help explain some things. And I would say try and read more before you continue to do anything to your device, at this stage you are not completely bricked since you can load your recovery and if you keep trying stuff desperately you may make things worse. How did you unlock your boot loader? You may have super cid without having done it your self that guide shows you how to check. If you have superCID then you can relock the bootloader and run the ruu found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237 just make sure you pick the right one and read everything I cant stress how important that is, make sure to look through comments as well.

then ''select partition 1''

I'd first trying using Diskpart, and if that doesn't work, try flashing Stock using the command prompt. Like I mean full stock and with everything erased and whatnot. There's a guide somewhere in the forum's if you search for it.

Go to the recovery and try mounting the sdcard as usb storage on windows. Then format the sdcard removable disk. Worked for me. Copy the rom on sdcard and flash from twrp and you'll be up and running in no time.

Thats correct. Its internal, which essentially means its just a seperate partition (formated in FAT32) in the internal memory of the phone. The link provided above should help you, and will allow you to reformat that partition if its corrupted. You have to work through the linux shell as it wont show up in windows if its corrupted. At the bottom of the instructions are even more simpler methods, assuming you are ok with wiping all the data on your phone. The reason those methods work too is because the stock recovery in your phone will also format the sd card when you choose to factory reset, etc (but you need to reflash the stock recovery to work). Check the post, it should all make sense.

[Q] HTC ONE X - Recovery Help

Ok, I have a problem very similar to threads Ive found by with some minor differences. Hoping for some answers to this nightmare....
I have an AT&T One X - unlocked, rooted and flashed. I was running Viper XL and using TWRP recovery 2.3.10. Yesterday, I decided to flash a Liquidsmooth ROM using flash image gui......everything went fine with install until it hung on liquidsmooth boot screen, for an hour. Figuring there was an install error, I rebooted into twrp to do a recovery. Recovered back to Viper XL and was thrown into bootloop - HTC screen/Viper Boot...over and over again. Finally decided to stop before I destroyed anything.....so here's where I am now. The phone has been reset, sd card was wiped but I can still boot into TWRP without a problem. However, now there is no backup or ROM zip on this SD card.
So my guess is that first and foremost I need to get a ROM on that SD card, however (I'm on a Mac) when I plug the phone in, I get a "No Android Device Connected" in the dialog and when trying to mount SD card via TWRP, the "Mount SD Card" box wont tick.
If I view the log file in TWRP I see a lot of 'could not mount SD card' errors.....
I don't want to keep screwing with it and make things worse. Considering this has happened with both CM10 and LiquidSmooth, my guess is I should just stick with Viper for now, so any help getting this back on here would be hugely appreciated! I have no access to a PC, only a mac.....

HBOOT-1.14.0002

OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
If you're on Hboot 1.14 and are S-On you need to manually "flashboot flash boot boot.img" in fastboot from the bootloader menu whenever you flash a new ROM. Go to the bootloader and click "fastboot" then plug in your USB connected to the computer and it should now say "fastboot usb" assuming your drivers are installed (it might install them after you plug your phone in). Now you can flash the boot.img from the rom zip manually via the fastboot command window.
EDIT: Sorry didn't realize you were on Mac. I would first figure out how to mount the SD card as removable storage and not an Android device. You may have to format it as a file system first. At least that's what I had to do when this happened to me when I first flashed but i'm on Windows. I should of read your post more thoroughly.
So this would be done from the terminal? I was able to boot onto fastboot, connected USB cable and now show fastbootusb. I downloaded the ViperXL rom again, so I should extract the boot.img and flash this via terminal?
Are the commands the same on a mac? And how do I then get the rom onto the SD card?
Am I correct in my assumption that this is the answer? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693372

I don't want to give you too much advice since I don't have a mac but I would assume they're the same except you need to have fastboot/adb on your computer but since the ones I have are .EXE files they're not going to work on OSX. However, If fastboot usb came up the computer is reading the phone so you may be able to open the SD card as removable storage on you computer thats how it is on Windows. So once you do that you can just move the ROM zip onto the card. But, like I said you're going to need to figure out a way to flash the boot.img separately or else you won't be able to boot into the ROM when it's installed (you'll just bootloop). You're going to have to do that with every new ROM you flash if you're still S-On.
Wish I can be more help but i'm not that versed in OSX.
you can use [APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode! to flash boot.img fine before flashing the rom. it will search the rom zip for the boot.img and flash it. you can also flash recovery using the app also. some roms place boot.img in other locations other then the root of the zip in which case you might have trouble selecting the whole zip, but you can just extract the boot.img and flash it fine.

No problem - thanks for the help you can offer. It seems my bigger problem is getting a ROM onto the SD card - Ive read several similar threads and from what I can tell, doing a factory reset through TWRP means I need to reformat the SD card, which is why it wont mount. Does this sound reasonable?
And if so, is it as simply as "Wipe external storage - SD CARD" in TWRP?

And yes you will have to reformat the SD card I don't know how to go about doing it OSX though. I'm sure a google search will help. The method should be the same for any type SD card plugged into OSX. But remember flashing the boot.img will be the other issue.

doing a factory reset in hboot corrupts your sdcard.
once you get adb/fastboot working try running "fastboot erase cache" that clears out the part of cache where the settings for twrp reside, that is why when you format cache in twrp you always see 16MB when you fastboot erase cache it goes to 0MB but for recovery to store it's settings you need to rewipe cache and dalvik in twrp.

I went through this process before and have all of these same files still on my desktop. I'm able to boot my phone into the bootscreen (white screen) and TWRP without problems....the only issue I have right now is my SD card and getting a ROM pushed to it. I've gotten two conflicting bits of advice that im reluctant to try....one of them states I should just boot into TWRP and do a "Wipe external storage" and the other one says I should format it using disk utility in OSX. When I boot into TWRP and hit "mount", Im given four options, mount system, mount data unmount cache and mount sd card...the ONLY one I cant select is mount sd card.

your SD Card is maybe not there when you have done an factory reset in hboot.
then you Need to Format it in stock recovery.
like in the first link from me

I think my inner idiot is kicking in. I believe I already have fastboot installed - perhaps Im missing something.

Not sure what you should do really this happened to me but I forgot what I did. I ended up just formatting the card with the disk utility in Windows but I don't remember if I had to re-flash the recovery or not afterwards.
So I should just use this method again, regardless of whether I may have done it before, correct? This will format in stock recovery?
In the APK folder, there are two fastboot files, one 'fastboot' and one 'fastboot-mac' - i want the -mac one obviously, right?

That page is no longer found but yeah seems like that would be the one to use.
I can't give you much advices on a MAC, I don't use one.
but if you have working fastboot and ADB this could workout.

Ok - I believe that fastboot is working correctly. I get this output from terminal
Mac-Pro:android originalseven$ ./fastboot-mac devices
HT29SW306500 fastboot
Mac-Pro:android originalseven$
So it's showing a connection between phone and computer.......
The next logical step would be....format the SD card?
Thank you guys sooooo much for the help!!!
