Sorry Man No I do not know where to find, the toolkit should give you the link though to download the RUU....Your getting stuck because your bootloader is the wrong version? Are you coming from a 4.1.2 ROM and up or going from 2 different versions basically. In order to do that, you need to have the correct bootloader

Sounds like you have pretty big issues, especially with all the freezing. Have you tried another computer. If you wiped your phone then there is probably not anything to mount. Did you update Android SDK like the OP says. Give me more info so I can try and help you

Sideload works, there is something minor that you are missing..Glad the OTG Cable worked though its cool to have

I need you to make sure you folder structure looks like the attached picture...It's important to keep the folder structure changed little as possible because SDK will not update properly. I would suggest redownloading the SDK Package, Setting up Similar to what you see in the attached picture. Run the update of all 4.2 and 4.3....The Zip goes in the platform-tools folder or where the adb files are at. It has to be in there and the name is case sensitive and should look exactly like the file when typing the command. let me know if you have any luck
[One (M7) General] mrheffner:
Thank you very very much for this!!

I was scratching my head all afternoon trying to figure out why my file wasn't sending correctly.
[One (M7) General] bdorr1105:
you can name the zip whatever you want....You know what it is the goal is to get it on your sd card to flash......making it simple like that makes it easy not make a mistake when typing the command because it has to exactly match the zip file itself. Good stuff man
[One (M7) General] Kahbrohn:
Looking for guidance and since it is a sideloading issue, thought someone here could help me out.

Has anyone ever had an issue that you could sideload the zip file of one or more ROM's but there is one particular ROM that simply can't be read for sideload purposes (keep getting * cannot read 'sideload' * message)? If so, what causes this and is there a way to fix this? Or if you know of a thread where this has been discussed and resolved, just point - have looked but no luck unfortunately.

EDIT - I even tried renaming it to ROM.zip and no go.
[One (M7) General] bdorr1105:
Cant say that I have but you could just sideload one that works, flash it, get into the phone by booting up and then try to copy from the omputer in your internal memory and if it doesn't copy something else would seem wrong....either way you should be able to get the rom you want
[One (M7) General] trjlive:
Do you have the HTC Sync software installed on your pc? If so, uninstall it completely, reboot, and then run the adb sideload command. This error is caused by an incompatibility between the Android SDK and HTC Sync. I can't find the thread that talked about this right now, but I remember coming across it here on xda when I was having the same issue (albeit on a Mac). So give that a try and hopefully it helps you! :)

I second this suggestion. :good:

An OTG cable is one of the best accessories you can buy for your One, especially since it has no sdcard slot. I have an OTG with a 64GB SanDisk Extreme usb flash drive, I use it for all my nandroid and Titanium backups, transferring all the various roms and mods I flash from my Mac to my phone, etc. For me it's much more convenient to work with a mounted flash drive on my Mac rather than deal with the pain-in-the-a$$ Android File Transfer application. I've even hooked my One up to my 2TB external hard drive (formatted as exFAT) that is my movie storage, hooked up to my smartTV, to copy a few movies over for a road trip. Pretty sweet to go into ES File Explorer and browse and see 2TB on a phone! Haha! I bought my OTG from amazon, cost about $2 with free ground shipping. So worth it!!
[One (M7) General] Kahbrohn:
Actually, I did that and it worked. Problem is that ROM isn't installing properly either. I have a set of instructions to follow through with from the ROM developer but it is just odd that a specific file won't sideload. All others do. Thanks for the advice though.
[One (M7) General] ronniereiff:

I have the same problem, sideload gets stuck somewhere between 6% and 18%

Any idea anyone?

Does sideload has a limit on the file size?

[One (M7) General] Wool02:
Thank you X1000 OP. I wiped internal storage on my VZW One using the "new and improved" re-ordering of the TWRP wipe menu (yeah, ultimately my fault.) This guide saved my ass. No idea you could sideload through TWRP. Thanks again!

Hello bdorr1105 once again,

Earlier your method saved me from gr8 trouble, but now I am stuck again. Sideload is stuck on 100% for hours, have tried twrp-2.6.3.0 and clockwork 6.0.3.6 but issue remains the same devise does get recognized via "adb devices". Have tried different Roms and even tried renaming them but no help. If you could also help me on this then that will be really gr8. screenshot attached. Also adb push gives an error "protocol error".

Thx in advance.
[One (M7) General] FangorX:
I had this problem a couple weeks ago. I believe it started occurring after flashing the 3.52.xxx firmware. Reinstalling the USB drivers did not help. I *think* what fixed it in my case was flashing a different firmware(I think it was the latest, 3.62.xxx). After that ADB magically worked again, although I have no idea if that is what actually fixed it.

Have you changed the firmware lately? It might be worth it to try flashing an older one and see if it works.

Also try using a different PC and USB cable if possible. And maybe try a different recovery as well.
[One (M7) General] devildog08:
Hello M8,

Thx for ur response, had installed "Elegancia_ONE_19.1.0 and I believe the base was 3.62.x.x. and was workng gr8. Thought of completely wiping the phone including system, data etc. (I mean everythng) and got stuck with the sideload issue. Looked everywhere for the solution and tried every solution but it didn't help. So after 8-9 hours I thought let the phone reboot itself and see what happens and to my surprise the phone booted back to Elegancia_ONE_19.1.0. :o Everything's ok now don't know what happen though. :rolleyes:

[One (M7) General] bdorr1105:
open sdk manager and update everything thats 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3 and then install proper drivers. If you have no luck try the adb push commands from recovery as a last resort

[One (M7) General] bdorr1105:
Do not go in adb shell and try these commands.... Just open command prompt and change directories to where your adb files are and then type the commands... You probably just need to restart the computer sometimes the service gets hung. Ensure all drivers are all up to date for the phone in addition
[One (M7) General] KrimsonHart:
Hi,

I tried with only adb commands before i tried with shell (got that from some website)

I did try restarting the computer and the phone a couple times before posting here

My phone does not respond to touch (not HW issue for sure) hence i cannot change any settings or check anything on the phone

When i try choosing update from SD (phone is rooted), it takes the internal storage directly not detecting the SD card (unable to use mount command as well)..

Is there any way to access the phone's internal storage so that i can paste the zip file in the internal storage itself and apply the changes?
[One (M7) General] bdorr1105:
Your phone doesn't respond to touch? Sideload pushes the zip to internal memory.... Have you tried pulling the SD leaving only the internal. I feel like I am missing something? What phone do you have... Ever thought about an OTG cable? Please explain how you got into this situation

Never give up ...

I have got to say a huge THANK YOU!!! Without your referral to Koush's universal adb drivers I would have thrown my HTC ONE against the wall. I got everything done, Unlock, S-Off, Custom Recovery, Root and then relocked bootloader and updated to latest Firmware prior to attempting to flash custom ROM - that's what everybody seemed to suggest in all forums.

Everything went smooth until I realised that my Windows 8.1 setup really caused major problems regarding adb comms with the HTS; I didn't have this problem with all my Samsung Galaxy devices (my last foray into HTC was a Desire some 4 years ago). Cutting a long story short, I couldn't flash anything, couldn't get device info via getver and was stuck on custom recovery and luckily S-off and with SuperCid. It took me 6 hours of headache before seeing your post by poor chance. :laugh: Now I'm in heaven. Thanks again.
[One (M7) General] bdorr1105:
Windows 8 caused issues with me on my Galaxy Note 3...i had huge problems trying to get the ad drivers to work. Even though the drivers were installed I would go in device manager and it would show in know device I had to force the device to use the installed adb drivers. Been good ever since

ok thanks first off, so here is my story , i sent phone to houston to get teh camera pruple problem fixed, it came back with kitkat , so this messed my mms up , so a guy here told me and showed me how to put arhd 31.6 on my phone well it worked , then i thought maybe i would do there variation of kit kat and it wiped all my phone ,, but i was able to install twrp back on there i dont know how but it works but everywhere i got it says no OS , i did this sideload i was excited to see it did everything u said but i have to do this 9. Wait until it says 100% and reboot back into recovery to flash the ROM

10. If hitting power does not make the screen come one, type adb reboot recovery

so this comes back in recovery then i hit reboot recovery in twrp still says no OS at the top and then it says to u want to root supersu or not i tried both ways and it just goes back to the white screen with htc cgreen letters, so what is wrong please?

here is a thread i started and some others in there so u can see exactly what i did wrong http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51226658

thanks
[One (M7) General] bdorr1105:
Note if your bootloader is 4.4 then you need to flash a 4.4 ROM, did you unlock your bootloader because Im sure when you recieved it back the bootloader was locked again and your phone wont boot because you have a custom ROM. You need to ensure bootloader is unlocked, you are flashing a 4.4 ROM or you flash a 4.3 kernel if you want to run a 4.3 ROM...Please post any updates

Hey everyone I'm looking for some help, I'm in this predicament and when I sideload the ROM I see on my phone:

Installing '/data/media/sideload.zip'...

Checking for MD5 file...

Skipping MD5 check

Updating paritition details...

and that is all, and at the top it says ADB Sideload Complete and in red letters just below that: Failed

When I try to adb push the rom to /data/media/0/ (edit) I am able to get the file on the device but flashing the rom fails in the same way as sideloading. I can confirm my device shows up in adb devices.

Help?
[One (M7) General] demlv:
From the OP:

"ADB Push from Recovery - If Sideload Fails For You

adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/"

then manually boot to recovery and flash the rom

Good luck! ;)

adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/

That will get the rom onto your device. Then you can flash it manually in TWRP. :good:

Thanks guys! I still had trouble after following both of your guides but what worked for me was using a minimalist adb/fastboot exe, reloading the drivers and putting the zip file under the correct directory. It wasn't too bad and it got the job done! :D

[One (M7) General] Chronzy:
I don't know if this has been mentioned in this thread, but just scoured the internet to get adb to recoginze my device during sideload. Instead of "device#### sideload" , it wouldn't recognize it at all. Turns out I had to add the hardware id to the google driver and reinstall it. Got the info here:

http://blog.dantup.com/2012/10/fixing-adb-device-not-found-with-nexus-7-in-recovery-mode/

The M7 was listed in the android_winusb.inf as "Google Nexus One" or something. Added the hardware ID from device manager then reinstalled the driver manually by "update driver>browse computer>have disk" and pointed to the edited inf.

Hope this helps someone. That was driving me nuts.

I'm having an odd issue. Whenever I try to install this rom, I get stuck on the avatar boot screen (the orange one with the mask). I was first using shabbypenquin's CWM recovery. I wiped before flashing and also flashed kt's aosp kernel and the gapps in the op.

So I then wiped again and flashed back to a fresh freegs4 and everything booted up fine. I didn't restore any backups and tried flashing avatar again but I tried twrp 2.5.0.2 this time. Flashed gapps, and kt's aosp kernel. Same thing happened. Stuck on boot splash screen.

Anyone else having this issue? I also tried to a quick backup of the freegs4 rom and twrp said my data part was over 2870000 mb and wouldn't backup because there wasn't enough space on my sd card. I've never seen that before on any of my evo's using twrp.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am flashing back to freegs4 in the meantime. I really want to give this rom a shot.
