So will uninstalling the HTC Sync manager but leaving the HTC drivers installed work better?

To who ever said that we must read carefully before doing stuff, yeah i know. I'm not blaming people for my broken phone, the lesson learnt? there is no lesson to be learnt apart from that 4.2.2 wastes 10gb of space from performing an upgrade and if buyer chooses to start fresh by performing a format (Which we would normally do prior to 4.1.2), that it breaks the phone. After the update and when settings are restored, it should have removed the legacy files, 10gb out of 32gb is a lot of wasted space considering that the OS itself takes like 6gbs!

Then again that isn't our design flaw is it? I work as a software tester, and we break stuff everyday, its not like we get a lesson about not reading the manual everytime we break stuff :P .... I personally love breaking and fixing stuff, so its one reason why im on the forum and unlocking my androids.

I only meant for those who just flash away without knowing anything or understand the concept of flashing. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

[One (M7) General] deeevan:
What is this 10gb of wasted space from upgrading? I haven't seen this. Did you restore your phone and re-copy your media from your computer?

I found my existing sdcard content on the phone and moved it across to the new sdcard location. I couldn't be arsed waiting for 20gb of music and 15gb of data to shuffle across USB again.
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
no i did not perform a restore / recopy from my computer, theres about 10gb of data under "others" which did not show the contents of what it contains, but it reading a few sources say its a copy of the old 4.1.2 files.

Infact when i did the OTA upgrade, i lost all my photos (Luckily i backed it up first), its also one of the reasons why i wanted to do a clean install from formatting.

and no worries Rex, i do understand what you're saying ;)
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Alliences 10gb and my 16gb are user files (mp3, vids, documemts etc) that we had stored on the SDCard prior to the upgrade. These were stored in an area of SD that media apps could read. After the upgrade to 4.2.2 the file structure changes and as 4.2.2 stores media files in a new place the media apps no longer read the older location and the apps can not longer access them.. File browsers can however. It is the new multiuser thing in 4.2.2

This data is shown only as Other and not music, pics etc..

You can delete the files to reclame the storage but that was not good enough for me, i wanted a clean file system. There are lots of duplicated files/folders.

With HTC Sync, yes i did remove the sync program, you dont need it, you can drag and drop everything, the beauty of android. I had updated drivers too and followed guides which expressively stated not to have Sync installed.

As i said i wanted a clean file structure so i formatted SDCard, biggest mistake ever.. Lesson learnt is not to format again but like allience, im here to have fun and enjoy fixing things so it does not hurt too much and wont stop me from doing similar in future (maybe not on the One though, have NEVER had an issue like this one my Note)..

Starting to miss my One though
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Lesson learnt for when you get your phone back: There's a command to make all your files accessible by the media apps again :) I can dig it out when you need it.

Sounds like there's a defect in the wipe internal storage command in one of the recoveries to get your phones in this state
[One (M7) General] poondog:
Thats on both android and windows (idk about anything else)

they have a .trash1000 folder (hidden) that has your deleted things in it. I don't know when its emptied but its there and your files are in a folder convenitnely called 'files'

I find that after deleting heaps of crap on my sdcard/storage there is still heaps of sp-ace being taken up, this is why
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
haha same here bud, the note II took me like all up 10minutes to unlock and had everything going... its always the HTC that challenges me :P

Im gonna wait a bit and see if Revone can support 1.54hboot, then S-OFF and use an official RUU to reflash then reload my own rom. I will in the mean time try to see what else can be done.

Also crossed my mind that maybe both CWM and TWRP might release an update which fixes this issue since its new on 4.2.2,,, and fingers crossed if they release an updated version which supports formatting and resetting up the /sdcard/0 directory, then we'll be in business again.

I'm guessing that the /sdcard/0 structure is not only unique on the HTC one right? all android 4.2.2 will have a similar migration right?

Thanks

What radio are you guys using on HTC One (Telstra,JB 4.2.2)Mine is 4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L

Is this one ok,or is there updated ones available?

From my Aussie style HTC One
[One (M7) General] alliance_22:
Yeah this is where i got mine, too bad there isn't an RUU for it :(

Haven't yet found a solution for the problem yet.
[One (M7) General] bwhinnen:
I'm running a fully converted with the Google Play Edition 4.3 and have radio 4A.18.3263.15 with no troubles on Telstra at all. Even with just one bar of LTE here at home I can still see decent download and upload speeds via speediest.net. I was previously running 4A.17.3250.14 on 4.2.2 with no troubles either.

Are you having issues? Just curious why the question :)
[One (M7) General] TornadoF6:
Yeah,just having dramas on the .14 radio-on 4G,it always drops back to H,and takes forever to download anything,thats why i was curious to see if theres updated radios.If i put it back to 3G,its heaps quicker then 4G in my area.Probably more to do with the Towers more then anything

[One (M7) General] deeevan:
When I first got my One, I loved the 4g coverage in the 3g blackspots on my trainline. Now I'm dropping back to 3g in those areas.

Are there any known issues with particular radio versions with 2.24 ROM/firmware? ie. Could I go back to the radio version from 1.29 firmware?
[One (M7) General] poondog:
I am on the 3.something ge firmware and I don't see any difference.

Hi, I am currently s-off and unlocked bootloader using s-one, but I want to go back to complete stock.

Does anyone have custom recovery backup of 4.2.2 unbranded?

I have 4.1.2 backup and touchscreen did not work when I restored it since touchscreen driver has been changed.

Thanks.
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
I know this sounds crazy but I had the same thing when I went back 4.1.2 to get an OTA - I'm pretty sure I installed a 4.2.2 kernel and it started working again.

Did unbranded receive 4.2.2 update? Can I flash stock 4.2.2 after installing 4.2.2 kernel?

Need Help urgent!!

Hi all My phone is with vodafone with CID VODAP021 & version 1.29.980.2.

Error mounting SD card, No rom installed. Phone boots into recovery and bootloader.

I have tried ADB sideload & ADB push to have the ROM on SD card. Nothing helped.

Can this be fixed? Thank you!!
[One (M7) General] loopism:
Care to elaborate on how you got to this point? Have you tried anything?
[One (M7) General] ePYK me.:
I'll tell you exacly what i did!!!

1 - Unlocked from HTC dev

2 - Flashed CWM recovery

3 - Phone didn't reboot ... but it started flashing a message that its a developer version(Red text below HTC logo)

4 - I managed to reboot into recovery and wiped the rom and and hit restore nandroid backup i did earlier.

5 - It never booted back whilst i got a restore successful message.

6- Sd card mounting error, I tried ADB side load, didnt work.

7- I cant do nothing now.

where did i go wrong here? Can this be fixed?

Downgrade

Hi Guys. Have had my One (Telstra) for about 3 days now. Been a Sony fanboy for ages and flashed the crap out of them. Took the plunge. I S-OFF'd it before doing the OTA but I didn't unlock the bootloader. Updated and of course revone doesn't work on 2.24.841.1. So I need to downgrade back 1.29xxx or something like that so I can give the revone -u command. What do I need to now ? Which files do I need ? I'd rather not go the 'offlicial'.
[One (M7) General] ePYK me.:
Would they do it, Knowing that the Phone has been unlocked?

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

Vodafone. NO official RUU availiable.

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

The main problem i'm facing here is SD card mounting error. May be if that gets fixed i can sideload a rom and Flash it.

Any solutions?

Use Moonshine S-OFF and then flash a different RUU.

How about unbranded? I am on venom2.1 and I want to go back to stock.. My own backup from twrp was 4.1.2 and restoring from my own backup makes touchscreen not working because of touchscreen driver has been changed from 4.2.2

How can I restore to stock?
[One (M7) General] twerg:
dont have any experience with tge touchscreen issue but i have read there are fixes for it here on xda, search for it..

For repairs to unbranded mobile, obviously refer to HTC
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Venom ROM shouldn't have caused the touchscreen issue, what else have you done?
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
Sounds like your Virtual SD Card is corrupt. I posted a fix for someone in Q&A who did a bootloader factory reset when they had a custom recovery and they couldn't sideload as the virtual sd card wasn't recognised.

A factory reset with a stock recovery should fix your SD Card but you'll lose any data which is probably already lost.

What's your bootloader version and I'll post up the steps for you.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
Firstly I flashed arhd and latest firmware.zip as well. My hboot is 1.54 something..
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
That explains it. It was the firmware update that did it, that should help you search for how you want to fix this. It's been discussed a couple times in this thread.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
Can I flash your nandroid backup of 2.24??
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
If you're happy with stock 2.24.980.2. You didn't specify whether you wanted stock 1.29 or 2.24, or why. Please note this isn't a flashable zip, it's zip of a CWM backup. Install CWM recovery and restore from there.

If you're going back to stock for warranty, I'd also apply the 2.24.980.2 firmware.zip extracted from the OTA
[One (M7) General] reservin:
I just wanted to go back to stock because official 4.2.2 is out. I was going to update to 2.24 after restore 1.29 via OTA anyway.

Also I found nothing useful using custom rom. so yeah.

But I found your 4.2.2 recovery backup!

I bet I flashed 2.24.401 firmware.zip, so I need 2.24.980 firmware.zip right?

4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L

Update: I restored stock 4.2.2 and everything works fine, but I just can not copy firmware.zip to internal sd card.

So, if I am 4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L, do I still have to flash that 2.24 update?

Thanks!!
[One (M7) General] twerg:
well it appears I may have some options with my bricked Vodafone One..

Wife took the call yesterday, options are to purchase a new boxed One for $298.10 or have old phone back which is deemed to be unrepairable..

When questioned about being unrepairable wife was told they can repair it but they can not garentee that it will be of same quality, phone will not be in same state as sent in and i may not be happy with it.

Guess only way to go is to pay, guessing its fair price if not a refurb (she was assured will be new).

They needed to know by 9am today, ill just go in and see them, if taken i will not be rooting or anything with the One again, not worth the risk and bricking seems to be common these days with the phone
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Hopefully that's just a standard line they have to give before any repairs, which is understandable if they have to crack open a phone to repair. Yours sounds like it just needs a factory reset, so the worse it may suffer is some scratches if they're not careful storing it.
[One (M7) General] twerg:
possibly, i thought it would just be a simple reset/reflash etc for them but they have had ample time to do that so far, they dont need to open it up to reinstall the OS etc.

My stuff up must have caused some hardware fault, ill just get the new one, would rather an untampered one
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Well I can't answer the question of which firmware you flashed :) You don't need to update firmware again, your phone should run just fine with whatever you have now. 4A.17.3250.14 is the same radio as stock. I think 2.24.401 and 2.24.980 is the same content, just labeled differently in the ota. I think the only difference is the OS-version displayed in bootloader.

Speaking of radio (and posting Australian user content like the thread title for a change, not just answering questions :) ) I've gone back to the 4A.14.3250.13 radio for almost a week, and I think I'm going to stick with it.

Different carriers and areas will cause everyone to have different opinions (and I still believe it's mostly placebo effect), but this radio is working better for me on Telstra 4G Sydney lower north shore. I'm back to 4g connectivity across the bridge to Wollstonecraft section instead of 3g and no data.

Make sure they return your old unit to you ...... if that is possible? you may be able to revieve it in the future. I did post a link to some info on restoring file structures for the Sammy 3G which may lead to something for the ONE if someone looks in to it.
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
Yes. This is xda, I refuse to believe that a phone is unfixable! :D

OS-version is 2.24.980.2. I'm just guessing this would change if you flashed another firmware :P

I haven't used that firmware.zip so don't know why it won't push onto your phone, but why are you trying to? I thought firmware was flashed through fastboot?
[One (M7) General] gregneal:
If you can access fastboot/recovery I really think it is pretty easily fixable... you say you can't load anything onto the sd card via otg or adb.

why not flash a new OS via fastbootRUU mode?
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Yeah, tried OTG and adb, no go.

Can not flash an RUU as vodafone have not released one, intended or not.

I spoke to Vodafone today, they have offered me a refurb 'as new' mobile for $298.10, or repair an 'repairable' mobile that can not be guaranteed to be of good quality when i receive it back.

Problem is that they are classing my repair as a Physical Damage or water damage repair job, offering the 'new' purchase.

The phone was 3 weeks old, not dropped even once, had no contact with water at all. i was quite grumpy. I was advsied by Vodafone to have HTC confirm that there is no physical or water damage to have my request for repair (reflash) considered, have HTC inform Vodafone of the phones condition. This did my head in because vodafone have it at their repair centre at the moment, are their rechs not able to make that determination? I wonder if the phone they have is actually mine??

The problem with that is that HTC advsied they can not do much as it is Vodafone branded, worse is that Vodafone HAVE THE PHONE and can inspect the health of the mobile themselves.

I have called HTC again and they understand my request for repair (non warrantee and reflash) and are looking into what they can do.

I am totally screwed, i have told vodafone exactly what I have done, what I want and it is such an easy request (HTC advsied they need to flash RUU to me, or provide me the firmware to do myself), I feel I am going to have to pay the money to get a second hand mobile, all I want is mine back.

Co-workers are saying to go to the TIO... (i work in the Telecommunications industry - Tech Support) should know what I am saying, and know what I have done (no physical damage or water)... Argh
[One (M7) General] reservin:
I am going to flash stock firmware.zip to make hboot 1.44

In order to flash stock firmware.zip I need to relock the bootloader

After flashing stock firmware.zip, can I use revone to make it Locked instead of relocked?
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Getting nowhere with Vodafone and HTC, HTC have no responsibility (fair enough) but vodafone are still pushing $300 for a second hand replacement.

They pretty much told me they have not investigated issue, just up front said damaged. Advsied not listening to me about checking for software issues, a quick job that will not take 3 weeks, feel they do not have my phone or they have someone elses.

Supervisor to call me back after I mentioned TIO
[One (M7) General] twerg:
So, no call back from the Tech Supervisor.

Went to the Vodafone store and and barely but a little more help there.

I am told that software corruption is physical damage. My repair request is non warrantee (as i accepted it as)

Also was told that they can not reflash firmware for a non warrantee job as it will then replace/re-instate a warrantee on the handset whic is illegal for them to do.

So, their offer is the refurbished handset at a cost..

Is this fair and reasonable?
[One (M7) General] gregneal:
i didn't say flash an RUU. Flash a zip with system partition in RUU mode.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

then

fastboot flash zip path/to/zip.zip

i'll upload a zip you could try which has telstra stock /system and /boot partitions. will need to upload it when I'm at uni though cause my internet is too slow.
[One (M7) General] twerg:
Oh, OK sorry.

Thanks but it is not necessary. I do not have the phone so can not do it. Thanks for the help though
[One (M7) General] gregneal:
i reckon it's fixable... ask for it back?

did matt try flashing via ruumode? sideloading?
[One (M7) General] twerg:
yeah i reakon is fixable too, hard to get vodafone ro see it that too.

Matt and I had tried sideloading but not RUUmode, not aware of that one, except for flashjng using RUU but thats going back to DHD days.

Apparently Voda are calling me back again tomorrow with another offer...

I asked for it back if not repairable and replacement provided, they basically said no. They said it will be illegal for them to flash firmware back on to the phone as will restore warrantee, what bullcrap, said ill sign a stat dec to not claim any further repairs, its too hard for them

Or do i have to relock it first to flash firmware.zip? because I heard that stock firmware must be flashed with locked bootloader..

I am currently s-off, unlocked bootloader and stock 4.2.2 unbranded Aussie rom.
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
No need to relock your bootloader. While connected to fastboot run fastboot getvar all, you'll probably find you already have 2.24FW.
[One (M7) General] reservin:
Does nandroid of 4.2.2 contains firmware.zip as well? I only flashed 2.17 firmware.zip when leaked 4.2.2 was out, but I think I have 2.24 FW.. lol
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
No, nandroid backups don't contain firmware. I've seen your posts in 5 threads and 2 forums, and I still have no idea what state your phone is in and what state you want it to be in. That's why you haven't received step by step instructions from anyone.

Do a fastboot getvar all and tell us what you want to end up with, then maybe someone can help.
[One (M7) General] thejosh86:
The nandroid wouldn't have the firmware.zip
[One (M7) General] reservin:
Yeah, I am trying to get some help..

My phone is in stock unbranded aussie 4.2.2 which is 2.24.980.2. I restored from your backup.

I s-offed and unlocked bootloader by using revone and now I want to make my phone complete stock to get some warranty regarding dead pixel.

I flashed 2.24 firmware.zip as soon as I flashed ARHD 11.0, so I have hboot of 1.54, so I was going to flash aussie 4.2.2 firmware.zip as well,

but mike1986 said stock firmware.zip must be flashed with locked bootloader when custom firmware.zip just need s-off.

Also doing s-on while having wrong hboot could brick phone right? so I think I need to flash stock firmware.zip before I could lock bootloader or s-on (maybe need to wait until revone updates..)

bootloader 1.54
