RESOLVED

Silver HTC One for AT&T; bootloader unlocked, rooted, s-on

I tried to flash a 4.1.2 ROM on the phone earlier today through CWM. No errors were given during the process. After the phone restarted the touch screen is now disabled. All three hardware keys seem to be working fine (power, v-up, v-down). Since the touchscreen is not working I cannot get past the initial lock screen. If I try and restart the phone by holding power it takes a long time >5 minutes of holding down power, "To restart your phone continue to press and hold power for 3, 2, 1, comes up and then stays at 1 for a long time.

If I connect the phone to my mac android file transfer opens up and I can see the files on the phone. However, if I try to find the device using 'adb devices' the list of attached devices is empty.

I would like to put a different ROM on and then flash that but because I am unable to do a power down (only restart after a long time) or use adb to re-boot into fastboot or recovery I am stuck.

Anything you guys could give me to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

also I installed HTC sync manager and it launches after the device is attached, but does not indicate that my device is attached.


Thanks!

Just copy the 4.3 rom via the file manager, then restart with however long it takes. While restarting, keep the vol-down button pressed. You'll reboot to bootloader. From there, go to recovery and select your 4.3 rom.

Can you elaborate on the OTG cable? It may be my best option at the moment because I cannot get the phone to reboot at all let alone into recovery. I tried to restart while holding down power and vol-down (like n1234d said) for about 20 minutes and the phone did not restart.

You could use an OTG cable and a USB drive to get the ROM onto the phone inside recovery. Unfortunately, you still need to reboot to recovery. If the phone can't reboot, I'm not sure what to do.

Just hold the power button and power it off....

then try to get in recovery from bootloader....

the phone wont get recognized via adb if not in recovery mode cause the USB debugging would be turned off....

the phone WILL power off if you keep the power button pressed for 20-30 seconds and should reboot.

Thanks, but for whatever reason it took holding down the power button for 40 minutes.

Thanks for you suggestions, as I mentioned above I got the phone to reboot into recovery after holding down power for an insanely long time. From there I was able to use adb to get everything sorted out.

So my problem is resolved, how do I close/delete this thread? Thanks for all your suggestions.

    You need a 4.3 based ROM. Push via ADB and install via cwm or adb sideload
