Hi there. This is my first thread in your great site. I have Installed custom roms hundreds of times on various handsets. Yesterday I purchased an HTC One and decided to stick a custom rom on there straight away.

Now I have a problem.....The only thing I can do is get into bootloader and recovery, I can get that far, what I cant do is install any kind of rom to get my phone working. It seems all my data has been wiped, cant mount usb using cwm or twrp so cant just stick a rom on there and flash it. Can't sideload using ADB, pretty much cant get any kind of rom on there at all. I tried using an RUU.exe to return to stock but that fails also (it stays at 5% 'headers' and goes no further)

I have literally been through every search option on google and tried every method I have found for the last 12-13 hours trying to get this solved and i'm now starting to think I have genuinelly done something terrible to my phone and that it is unrecoverable.

My final hope is that one of you genius wizardy type of guys that seem to frequent these forums could help. Im getting desperate now :(

EDIT: I think I flashed a rom for the M8 version like a fricking noob. Does this mean my phone is knacked?

Why not start with
1- a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n),
2- what recovery you have (name and version number)
3- what were you trying to flash? link please

1- edit your post and remove IMEI,

2- use TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 (maybe 2.7.1.1 works, I haven't tested, but 2.7.0.0 does not)

3- ARHD 71.1 (m7_u/ul) is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183023

ok installed twrp 2.6.3.3 and still no luck in mounting storage via usb. I know the \sdcard\ section of the phone is empty through looking at file manager. I dont know if this has anything to do with it. In bootloader my OS listing is blank, like there is nothing there. I have used your fix for the Active Cmdline Overflow just incase it was that as i figured this kind of falls into that category.

At the moment, I have d/l an old RUU.exe for jellybean after relocking my phone and that is currently installing although it is stuck on 7% ''Checking Header'' and has been for a while now. I dont expect it to move on any further.

One word.....gutted, wish I had left it alone now ffs

you need to chill and relax, you are now rushing things (aka panic mode), and you are going to get into trouble if you continue, let me when you are calm and relaxed.

apologies if that sounds not nice of me, but random flashing (including fixing something that doesn't need fixing), is not a good way to go.

I checked the updater-script of ARHD 7.0 for M8 and it probably hasn't touched any sensitive partitions on the m7

Take a break and come back, in a while, i'll post back

:confused: are you trying to boot the M8 ROM?? why??

so go back to TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 and completely format your phone:

To completely format the relevant partitions, you do the following in TWRP:
1) "Format Data", that will format /data and internal storage
2) Advanced Wipe -> /system and /cache, that will format /system and /cache
3) reboot to recovery

then follow the instruction here (though you should already be familiar with the FAQ sticky ;)) section 'D' to get the ROM onto your phone and install it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53270352&postcount=21

lol, no wasnt intentionally trying to boot the M8 rom, it was trying to do it itself. After the format data steps etc, I now have my system stuff back to normal (no longer states 0MB) couldn't mount with usb using recovery so cant drag and drop rom and install that way so currently trying to install using adb sideload.

If this works i will give you more kids rofl
