[Solved] Kind of soft brick?

memyselfand06 · Jun 21, 2014

Hello.

I'm having an issue with my phone and I really can't fix it. I've tried for a few days before posting here.
I have CWM installed, but I first had TWRP. It's an HTC by Telus, Canada.

So, the problems:

I can't factory reset since it will give me errors like "error mounting /data" and "error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure"
I can't even acccess the sdcard, it will say "E: Can't mount /sdcard" so I definitely cant install a new ROM
I had installed CM 11 but it will never go pass the logo (I'm assuming it can't since sdcard is unavailable)
I tried installing via ADB sideload and I get "* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *"

I'm desperate I have no idea what to do and where to start.

Thanks

P.S. : I don't remember how to output all the information like version-main and stuff, I'd do it with pleasure if someone points it out. And it's S-ON

Ok, issue fixed! A proper RUU worked fine to reset my phone, all good! Still don't know what was the initial problem but now that it's solved I'm happy

the command to post your output is fastboot getvar all, remove serial and imei before posting.

after you have done that, stay in fastboot mode and type fastboot erase cache

the flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 and see if you can get into it.

once in goto - wipe - advanced wipe and select everything in the list, including internal memory and format the whole phone.

you will then have to push a rom of your choice and flash it.

ok, you could try this, relock bootloader and run the official RUU download here:

It doesn't work. windows will give me an error and ask to debug the RUU. Not sure if that's my computer or the executable...

can you check the file size of that RUU you downloaded please, in properties on your PC, it should be 1.5gb, ive just tried downloading it myself and it says completed but its only 148mb, when I tried to run it I go a similar error to what you are getting, just means there is a problem with the site at the moment and will be fixed shortly, you'll have to wait until then to grab the file, just keep trying until you get the full file size.

Last time this happened to this site a few weeks back, he said some hacker in Canada was sending a back door reset to his site every few minutes.

found another download site with the same file that you can try and grab it from instead: http://androidruu.com/getdownload.php?file=M7/RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8_R_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_351500_signed_2.exe

But I still can't get into recovery ..

you wont need recovery to flash an RUU, just relock your bootloader, plug your phone into the computer and run the RUU, and no that file is no good, that's why you are getting the error, although it says its complete, you only have 50% of it, delete it and try the other site linked below, androidruu.com

Ok, thanks, I'll redownload the file. Will it restore stock recovery as well? I got all this mess because I wanted to install an OTA update for HTC sense 6.0 and everything that came with it and I think I need stock recovery in order to install official updates...

flash stock recovery
Boot loader » factory data reset
Sometimes it also clear issues

from HTC One

You can use Rom.zip from ruu
When you run ruu see temp folder in Windows it contains some long number named folder that contains rom.zip
flash that zip in fastboot

from HTC One
