You went from a 4.1 to a 4.3 rom. That is were all your files are now. You need to read up on some of this stuff, preferably before flashing next time. :)

That's how media storage works 4.2+. There's a bunch of different threads explaining the switch. I don't think he was trying to be a wise ass. :sly:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
I wasn't trying to be anything... lol.

I'm not that wise. :) Just trying to explain what happened and point you in the right direction. I have been holding out on 4.3 roms because of little issues like that.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] david279:
I don't think its anything to hold out on. When you go to a ROM 4.2+ or newer it your sdcard data gets moved to /emulated/0. Its nothing I would be worried about.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
Understood. I know it's simple, I just haven't found a rom running 4.3 that I want as my daily. I have almost pulled the trigger a couple of times, but holding out for Tranquil 4.3.

Peace.

I can't find the back up to delete either. I did "deleted" though a file manager and in twrp it still shows. Isn't there a way in twrp to delete the backup? Using the file manager in twrp I can't see it but under restore its there. While booted up, I went to /data and I have nothing there, using a file manager. I'm thinking of copying files that I need to a computer and wiping the whole thing.

Nice and clean that way. That's the only issue I have with no sd card on this phone. It's a pain to keep open space when flashing a lot of roms. Stuff gets hidden quite easily. lol

I am a serious android user and understand to search threads first before posting questions answered a million times but for the past few hours I havnt been able to search (search currently unavailable)

My comment is, has anyone else noticed after using 2.6.3.0 for a while the brightness in recovery is as dim as possible? lol it hasnt always been like this in fact only the past week has it been dim all the way and i have been using it since 9/16.

am i missing something here? ill admit i have always been a cwm user and since my htc one i have been using twrp.

Can anyone else confirm that USB-OTG support (in recovery) is broken in the latest build? I had to flash back to 2.5.0 to get it working.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
Confirmed!

It doesn't work for some weird reason, and I doubt it will be fixed until the next release. It has been mentioned many times and the only way to get it to work is to purchase a powered OTG cable. My 2.6.3.0 works as intended on my N7, HTC One, not so much.

(I don't think anyone is listening to us...) :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drlzanej:
Lol, Im listening, and doing my best to pay attention lol. Whats the difference between a powerd OTG and a regular OTG cable. Never used one is why I ask. and why would a powerd one work and a regular one wont. Feelin noobish here.:confused::silly::cyclops::cool:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aornelas1:
I have one of the powered type of OTG cable, but even that wouldn't work in recovery. Worked fine in CWM. It's sort of crucial to have working since we lack any other expandable memory.

I'll have to try 2.5 twrp.

This is what's worked for me:

"Download the above file. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.img

Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p36

Then reboot to complete installation.*"
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
It does kinda suck that we got the short end of the stick on this version... we shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get what all my other phones and tablets have working already. I'm sure it is just something that was overlooked, because all the older versions worked without a hitch. :)

We just can't roll back to 2.5 unless we go back to 4.1. :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] quicksilvergts:
Well I effed up. no biggy ran RUU and was back to stock.

I then unlocked the Bootloader and was going to flash TWRP and BOOM a second time with this issue.

First time was when I updated to 4.3.

I ran RUU twice

removing 'everything HTC' multiple times( even sdk tool)

tried 6 different cords 18 different USB ports on 3 different PC's

ate dinner

then it worked

estimated time to get it to work- 28 hours, give or take 2 lol no joke though.

I am s-on with ALL recent drivers/sdk tools

I have tried all images/versions of TWRP. and have renamed them differently as well( with the .img at end)

any suggestions???

here is a screen shot.

any info will be MUCH Appreciated:D
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drlzanej:
That would probably be correct. In short i believe what he is saying is get the 2.5.0.0 TWRP .img and revert back. Which isnt possible because you loose the touch panel if on 4.3.

Side note, ive always found it safer to fastboot flash a recovery.img. Thanks for the info guys. :cool:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aornelas1:
Haha, sorry guys, that's from the twrp website http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/171

No touch panel issues here... I'm on CM 10 Android 4.3.1
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drlzanej:
Weird man, I got the 2.5.0.0 from their site last nite and fastboot flashed recovery was there but no touch at all. Hmmmm
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
It has to do with the latest firmware. If you didn't update, you can run 2.5. It's the touch panel drivers they included in that update.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aornelas1:
Oh ok, that's what it must be. I've seen that mentioned before but forgot all about it. Isn't there a fix for the issue tho?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
I would recommend against TWRP right now. There are many known issues with the Sprint version that include the battery not charging once the phone completely dies. Official CWM however works perfect.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
I'm on 2.6.3.0 and have been for a while. I've had none of those problems. All I know is that CWM consistently had flashing issues on the one.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
If you're on the latest build you clearly have not tried very much. It has been a confirmed issue by may people and one of the TWRP developers.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
I have to say -- I've seen my battery drop from 88% to dead (reboots) on TWRP 2.6.3.0. I just got the thing, so that's a tad of a bummer -- TWRP is a great tool, but it sure seems the post above is correct. Thanks to the TWRP guys, though, they're great -- just need a little breathing room here for a bit.

With that said, we can just boot to fastboot (usb) then just fastboot flash recovery [clockwork_recover_of_choice].img -- right? Just overwrite TRWP?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
I believe so. That is how I have always done it.

Let us know how it works for you. My only concern is my current backups and if they will be able to be read by another recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
I believe PhilZ recovery can convert TWRP backups
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Yea -- I worried about the backups too, but I just moved them off to PC and when TWRP fixes up, they'll be there. Worst case is RUU and come back up clean and make backups of data first (Titanium, no? -- always saves me).

I see this regarding PhilZ:

"TWRP backup and restore support, include full md5 sum support (single and multivolume, compressed and non compressed formats)"

at the main PhilZ thread. Looks like that's where I'm headed 'til TWRP settles. Sigh -- I'd love to help them out -- just still trying to hack the Photon 4G system for those (like me) that got screwed on that phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
I just run a new backup on CWM if the current rom is working.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Flashed PhilZ, works like a champ -- read the FAQ on the TWRP backups -- all good, they're all there. I have confidence in TWRP folks too, though so no dissing here. TWRP is really good stuff, but like I said -- just give them some breathing room to stabilize it for Sprint. PhilZ is fantastic too, so no loss for now at all, imho.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Uh oh ... taking the 'like a champ' back. I got PhilZ to blackout just like TWRP. Dunno what that means to TWRP (though the battery doesn't go nuts when plugged in). So -- folks, if you get that daunting black screen and the backlight just won't come on ... do the power/vol-down press and just keep on holding that until it reboots. No way I could get the screen back even on PhilZ.

How did that happen, you ask? I swiped up, which is just a scroll and poof ...

No matter -- it's stable other than that, imho.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrshades812:
I'm trying it out also. Seems pretty bloated and a bit complicated to get the ui usable and it backs up recovery by default.

But it reads my exfat flash drive just fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drlzanej:
Was just reading in the Htc One thread about 2.6.3.3, apearently it will only be compatable with 4.4 Kit Kat ???? which is a bummer. Around post 1056 in their TWRPthread is where i was reading.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Same text as I posted in the the PhilZ thread -- I was wrong (I believe). PhilZ is fine -- blank screen was this:

I believe I know the issue -- it's called dork user! I'm fairly confident that, after trying to reproduce last night, and thinking about it, it was nothing more than a hold/move which was mapped to toggle screen in gestures (default). The only thing I can say is that I honestly would have expected the power button to revive the screen, but my suspect is another hold/move would have done it.

I've not found an actual problem with PhilZ, just or the record so I wanted to correct myself on the above.

TWRP, I still believe is way cool. I just get OTG with PhilZ right now.

Update TWRP

Could someone enlighten me as to how to update my twrp. I'm running 2.5.0.0 but the newest version of my Rom says that I need to newest version but I've never updated the recovery b4. I've got the Sprint HTC One w/Nocturnal's GE rom. Thanks for your help.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
Yes that's right. Couldn't remember the exact menu.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
You can fastboot flash the new one the exact same way you flashed the old version, then clear the cache in fastboot and reboot into the new recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Treadstone06:
goo manager no go

Goo manager just times out. Could you point me in the right direction for fastboot directions as I used an AIO tool for my initial installation and I'm still attempting to learn adb. Thank you very much.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
I'm assuming you're using Windows, not Linux (one day -- go learn the latter and many things 'firmware' get a lot easier):

1) make sure your USB drivers work if you're using Windows (seems to be 99.99999999% of all issues people face -- Windows + drivers);

2) make sure you have the latest Android SDK, which includes adb and fastboot;

3) copy your new recovery to your <android_sdk_directory>/platform-tools directory.

4) Open a command window in that directory -- using File manager, navigate to the <android_sdk_directory>/platform-tools directory, then shift-right-click and open a command window in that directory (with admin privileges, if possible!);

5.0) added after the fact: reboot your phone into bootloader and select 'fastboot'; then plug in the USB cable -- you should see fastboot (USB) or similar;

5.1) type "fastboot devices" -- if that doesn't return "FSxxxxxxxxX ..." then your USB isn't working. If it doesn't work at all (program not found) then you didn't open a command window *in that directory* and I don't want to teach how to set the PATH right now;

6) Type this to be sure the command window sees your image file:

dir <put_your_recovery_filename_here>

For instance: dir openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img

that better return somethign reasonable and not "file not found" or similar;

7) If all that works and is all good:

fastboot flash resovery <pur_your_recovery_filename_here>

for example:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img

8) If that all went well, clear the cache:

fastboot erase cache

That *should* do it. Notice that that last command might leave the /cache partition unformatted. No problem -- just boot into recovery and have it clear the cache -- it'll reformat it for you.

My take? Flash a more solid recovery -- PhilZ, but your choice as to recoveries. I probably sound like a broken record to people, but OTG support, perfect battery handling, safe/solid touch support and proper screen dimming/off handling is critical to folks using no-battery, no-external SD card phones, and this is one of those. I'm currently using philz_touch_6.07.8-m7spr.img, about to flash philz_touch_6.07.9-m7spr.img.

Let us know if anything looks weird -- no reason to rush. Lots of folks on this board ready to help.

Lol, no worries on folks sticking with TWRP. I've said many times I too am a fan. For quick comment on the Phil Z issues mentioned:

UI settings stick by setting and rebooting into recovery as documented.

Vibe on touch can be turned off, sticks pursuant to above.

ROM problems. I've encountered one, ViperOne, but we fixed that. See, if a ROM fails in PhilZ, then it will fail in CWM. That, to me, is a ROM bug generally due to hard coding decisions to what TWRP does. Such bugs are really easy to fix, particularly in Aroma setups.

Anyway, not on any high horse, just think we need to help the ROM devs where any cross-recovery issues pop up. Leaves us all with choices. :D

Need more info:

1) From what ROM did you start; and

2) to which ROM did you attempt to flash.

More than likely we can move the TWRP backups to the right place -- just need to know what really happened.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Wanted to share the "proper" way to check devices for ROMs (at least, an example of that) for everyone. Before I flash any ROM, I checkout out the updater-script (and Aroma info if applicable). About to flash Dirty Unicorn, I see this in updater-script:

(getprop("ro.product.device") == "m7wls" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "m7wls" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "m7spr" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "m7spr") || abort("This package is for \"m7wls,m7spr\" devices

this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");

Exactly -- check 'em both. It's so easy that I can't figure out why every ROM dev doesn't just do that. Presto-magico, all recoveries covered. I'm going to get into ROMs soon enough -- and honestly the ROM devs are great -- just asking one more little trick -- an easy one at that. :confused:

Tell you what -- this coming weekend I'll take a look at the sources and build process. If the merge isn't ridiculous, I'll try to spend some time fixing it up. The Teamwin folks use standard review (Gerrit based) for 'standard supported devices' so maybe we can just get our phone in the 'official' column. Can't promise anything yet -- but a quick look at the code looks pretty reasonable (so far). The build process isn't a stretch either (I have all the toolchains setup for other builds I do).
