So you've got the Rom on the phone but when go To recovery you can't see the rom because of this error?

It's normal to see these type of errors after using fastboot erase cache. But not normally with internal storage.

If you can see the Rom just flash it it should work.

it doesnt flash, says this:

also when I power off it says Im not root and gives the option to install supersu, but it seems it doesnt do so.:eek:

Have you tried copying the Rom to internal storage and flashing from there.

You should be able to move it with TWRP file manager

This is purely speculation at this point but are you sure you flashed the right version of TWRP 2.7.1.1. International M7s and Sprint M7s have a different versions of 2.7.1.1?

Yes I can copy to internal storage but it doesnt flash either.

Should I flash another recovery?

I be live your phone is Sprint?

This link is for Twrp images for Sprint phones I'm not 100% certain you have the wrong version but if you have International Twrp on a Sprint phone it would cause problems as partition layouts are different. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls

It may be worth flashing one just to be certain you have correct recovery.

I've just taken a look at the thread for the Rom your trying to flash. It's a gpe Rom I'm not sure it's compatible with your Sprint device. You should look here for a Sprint Rom

Hey sorry about the delay I have been busy.

I somehow managed to install another ROM called Liquidsmooth but its totally broken: google play is not even included, downloaded manually but won't open, WIFI works but mobile networks not... etc.

My problem now is that TWRP 2.7.1.1 doesnt seem to mount the internal storage. While on system I can browse my SD it is working. I have the Android Revolution ROM zip, I even took a couple of photos and I can browse them etc. so the internal storage is OK, but TWRP won't mount it it just says 0mb.

Should I flash THIS recovery?

With liquidsmooth aosp roms your normally required to download a separate gapps package to flash Google apps and services. The download should be available in the thread you downloaded the Rom from. Though from what I see this Rom is still in early development if I've been looking at the right one, you may be better off going for something more stable.

Yes it's worth trying the new twrp it says it's for Sprint so it should be fine if it doesn't have bugs.

Personally I would flash the new twrp format all partitions from recovery and install Viper one from here

I have know this Rom to succeed on Sprint after being bricked by a GSM rom.

    First download a toolkit for the HTC one m7. You can find it in the android development section. With that you can install a new recovery. I recommend twrp. After that push a ROM via adb to the device and flash that Rom. There are hundreds of sprint ROMs and even more threads "how to adb push"

    My drivers are installed, I have "HTC Sync Manager" installed. This is desperating.
    First off if your running CWM and tried to install ARHD then your gonna have issues as ARHD is only compatible with TWRP recovery 2.6.3.3 or 2.7.1.1

    If Windows 8 has stopped recognizing your phone and you can't boot to a Rom unfortunately there's little chance of you getting it working again.

    So you have 2 good options. Get/make an otg cable and use it to install a Rom compatible with CWM.

    Or create a Linux boot disk to use adb/fastboot. Linux doesn't need drivers for your phone so no detection problems then you can flash recovery or push a Rom whatever you want.

    I have read the "disaster recovery" thread but they assume Fastboot USB works. My problem is I dont even know how to connect my phone to my computer in order to work from there.

    To use Fastboot :- boot the phone to the boot loader and select Fastboot from the menu. Then connect you phone via usb cable and Fastboot should change to fastbootusb.

    Open the folder that contains adb and fast boot on your pc then hold Shift and right click on the empty white background space, from the menu that appears select "open command window here"

    In the command window type

    fastboot devices

    If you get an output of your phone's serial no. Fastboot is working.

    I write fastboot devices and nothing happens.

    I think I'm trying on a friends computer he has Linux. Hope this is not bricked lol. At least the phone turns ON, it can be charged as well, and bootloader works. But can't fastboot!
    Your not even close to being bricked ;)

    On Linux you will still need to install adb/fastboot but no drivers for your phone needed. As long as adb is working your on a winner :)

    Also you will need to add sudo at the beginning of each command

    E.g "adb devices" becomes " sudo adb devices" or "fastboot flash recovery" becomes " sudo fastboot flash recovery"

    also Sprint has a different partition structure you CANNOT use files for a GSM phone on yours ...please go to the sprint forums for the files and help you need

    Sirs, ubuntu doesnt recognize it either!

    While on the bootloop it says system can't mount the Android unit. This means the USB is working.

    But on the bootloader/fastboot it doesn't even pop up this message, its like nothing is plugged. WTF I think it is bricked, can't connect anywhere. I feel stupid just trashed my phone for a non important ROM update.


    you need to calm down
    first turn the phone off
    hold power plus volume down
    when the phone goes off keep holding volume down and let go of power
    now your in the bootloader
    use the volume key to select bootloader then power off

    now wait


    now hook the phone to the usb and hit power plus volume down
    let go of both when you see the bootloader again

    now your in fastboot USB
    now you can flash the correct recovery to your phone.
