So, I accidentally did a full wipe of my HTC One and get stuck on the HTC Logo boot screen if I try to turn it on. I can get into bootloader and TWRP. Problem is, my computer keeps failing to install the driver. So adb doesn't see it. The only way I can make my computer recognize that the phones plugged in is if I just turn it on and let it freeze at the HTC Logo. If I plug it in with bootloader on, nothing happens. And same thing with sideloader in TWRP.

I followed the instructions @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757414

Could it be that since my phone is completely wiped, there is no driver for my computer to recognize? Hopefully someone can please help as I have bricked my only phone and I need it for work asap :(

Ok, what you need to do is go to device Manager when you are in recovery, find your device it will probably have a yellow exclimation meaning it did not fully install the adb driver...If you have that, install HTC Sync Manager from the Forum where you set up ADB at step 6, then as soon as the driver is installed, UNINSTALL SYNC Manager it will interfere, then plug device in and open comman prompt, type adb devices, if you see it thats good, then type adb reboot recovery and then once in recovery see if the computer recognizes your device...Again do adb devices and if it shows up with your device and recovery, you are solid

Yay! I don't know if it was because I was going to recovery FIRST and then connecting to computer. But I had it connected already this time when I went into recovery and it finally installed a driver. In Device Manager it says:

i.gyazo.com/fdf902837e3afbea368e67724632b96b . png

Not HTC Driver lol... but I'm fine with that because it worked :D

Maybe its because I installed a driver from your OP labeled "Koush Universal ADB Driver - Works on Windows 8"

Anyways, thanks man I'm so relieved now. Also surprised that you responded so quick :eek: I wasn't expecting a response that quick tbh but I'm glad. Have a great night/evening/day w.e bro!


UGHH while writing this, I installed ViperOne and got to the initial setup. After setting up all the accounts and getting into home screen, I got an error saying "Unfortunately, setup has stopped" and then a black screen. All I could actually see was the lock screen, but if I unlocked I got that black screen. I turned off the phone but now when I turn it back on I get stuck on the VenomOne boot screen. =/ This is so frustrating lol.

I tried to flash ViperOne again, tried some different settings this time and again same thing happened. I got that "Unfortunately, setup has stopped" after the initial setup followed by a black screen. I can see everything else working, its just the homescreen thats a black screen, and that error. I can see the lockscreen, and I can even bring down the notification bar and double tap home button for recent apps.

I tried searching for someone with this issue but no luck.. I'm going to sleep its 5am and this is just really frustrating. Every step closer I get is 2 steps back. I hope you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. And thanks in advance.

Also, I noticed I can only use adb with recovery. When I try with fastboot my computer doesn't recognize when my phone is plugged it, and adb doesn't see it.

That is what you need to install sync manager for from HTC, those are the drivers you will need for fastboot. The commands are a little bit different but you won't see the device in adb while your phone is in Fastboot.

What version ROM are you trying to run? Did you updated your firmware, radios ect especially if the ROM has that Harmon Karman audio mod. I need some details.

Are you on the HTC One m8? Please provide whatever details you can. Thanks. Hope to be able to help

I did install sync manager, I said previously that I followed your "How to set up Android SDK (ADB)" instructions. What do you mean the commands are a little different? Before I accidentally wiped everything, I was able to use the adb command prompt with fastboot activated in my bootloader.

I'm trying to run the latest full "ViperOne 6.2.0". I haven't manually touched the firmware or radios. I did do the latest Sense 6 OTA Update with T-Mobile. So I guess I'm using the latest official firmware/radio? Here's my bootloader info:

*** LOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.57.0000
RADIO-4T.27.3218.14
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-5.14.531.1
eMMC-boot 2048MB
May 9 2014, 15:57:53.0
And here's my fastboot getvar that I got before I flashed TWRP and wiped everything. (When I was still able to use adb with fastboot :( )


You know, now that I look at it. What is "meid" and is meid: 00000000000000 normal? (nevermind, just read that meid is only for CDMA phones [eg SPRINT, VERIZON] so its normal)

Anyways thats all the info that I could think of right now that could be helpful. If you need anything else let me know. And thanks again.

I got the drivers working perfect now. So nevermind all that about fastboot. But ViperRom still isn't working for me. I flash it, finish the Aroma Installer, and when I finish with the initial setup and it tries to show me my homescreen, I get the error "Unfortunately, setup has stopped" followed by a black screen. I can see my lockscreen, and bring down the notification bar and get into settings from there and all that. I just can't see the homescreen because its just a black screen. And that's only right after the ViperRom setup. If I power-off/reboot it gets stuck on the boot screen logo.

You are not the only one to be having this problem it seems.. What recovery are you using? I asked for more details. What was the previous ROM you were running. Android Verison and all, what recovery did you use to flash it. Was the previous ROM a 4.4.2 KitKat or was it 4.3 Jelly Bean? I am looking for some answers in that forum. ANyway provide what you can about your previous ROM and the installation steps that you used

Hey guys,

I'm having a lot of trouble with my AT&t HTC One. I was trying to update it to android revolution v62 and by accident i wipe my entire internal sd card and I have no rom on the phone to boot into right now. I know you can sideload a rom or put a rom on your sd card via this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2318497. But the problem is I can not get my computer to recognize my phone. I have the android sdk installed with all the updates. I have the HTC drivers installed as well. I just need my computer to recognize my phone. It only shows up in device manager when i put it into fastboot mode. I tried to do the RUU but it couldn't recognize the phone. Also when I try to do adb devices, it also shows that no devices are connected I think it's a driver issue. Also I'm on windows 7 64 bit. Thanks so much!

Also my phone is

S-off
unlocked

EDIT:
I finally figured out how to fix it.It was a driver issue the whole time. The HTC drivers were not working and what I ended up doing was using this driver download.clockworkmod.[com]/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi

(remove brackets from [.com] above) and then i just pushed the rom to my sd card and installed it. I hope this helps anyone else out there.
You saved me a long night of stress. I had the exact same issue as you. From here on out, I'll always keep a rom on my internal memory lol.

I could not get this to work for the life of me. When I typed in the commands it acted as if I asked for help and spit out everything adb could do. However I did try:

Code:
adb push rom.zip /data/media/
And it worked just fine. As long as you're able to see your device with adb devices why bother with ADB Sideload? Not being a jerk just asking questions :)
This does not work for me!!

I get the "error: closed" message new drivers, sees the phone in sideload etc.

HOX+................... bricked for months :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

if you have the HTC One X Plus your in the wrong section this is the HTC One M7 area.

The push command works for all Android phones .. most likely your pushing it to the wrong folder or the file your trying to push is not in the same folder as adb

try adb push rom.zip /sdcard/

and do a dir command in the command windows to see the file name of the rom.zip (windows hides the extension and sometimes it ends up rom.zip.zip)

No better days yet.....

I used adb sideboard...... fails at 45% every time, and adb push ROM.zip /sdcard

Apparently I'm on the wrong forum so if you have any ideas please PM

Thanks
