[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Not really sure how to get into fastboot. Will typing that command get me to fastboot and erase cache.

Here are my options now, using the Hasoon2000 AIO

1) Re-flash a recovery - ClockWorkMod, ClockworkMod Touch, TWRP AND THEN Install zip via sd card

2) Do above ^^ but install via sideload

3) Just erase cache with AIO and install zip from sim card

What should I do?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazLiew:
It doesn't matter, once you're in cwm recovery, reflash the Rom with a full wipe and you should be good. Calm down dude.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryryzz:
just like the gentleman above said, you need to calm down first. If your phone can boot, although it hangs midway, it has a big chance not to be bricked in anyway.

And I don't advice you to use the AIO tools, just try to follow every simple guides to flash custom recovery-root-custom rom and you'll get familiar with the process in no time.

So I assume that you can boot into recovery, these are the steps that I think you should follow:

- re-download the custom rom that you wanna flash (make sure that the download is not corrupted)

- boot into recovery (in your case,CWM)

- wipe cache . wipe dalvik (in advance settings)

- install zip --> choose zip --> point to your custom rom

- you'll see the aroma installer, pick your options until it begins to install.

- if the installation went smoothly, don't reboot phone yet, get back to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik then reboot system and let the phone install the OS (first boot usually take long timer)

- if the installation hangs at midway, reboot again into recovery (power + vol down until button blinks and phone boots into bootloader) then start again from first step

once again, I advice you not to use the AIO tools. it's safe but you need to know what you are doing and the process to conquer your phone is not that hard.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
What are you holding to try to enter bootloader? I use power and volume down and it works every time. Just hold them until the bootloader screen appears then let go.

Also, like others have said, it's better to use adb and fastboot commands yourself in cmd or terminal, rather than using the toolkit - it's not too hard, there are plenty of guides, you learn quicker and it's more satisfying :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
I really appreciate your reply man. Yeah, I need to calm down haha.

Alright, the problem is that I can't get into recovery mode unless I use the AIO tool. I've tried everything else. Using the volume down button, under the bright light etc etc. IT just goes straight to the HTC screen. It must be noted that I DID have problems getting into my bootloader before as well. A moderator of another forum made me download an app from the app store that let me either reboot int bootloader or reboot into recovery.

Rebooting in bootloader didn't work through that app either, it just restarted the phone, However,rebooting into recovery worked. Also, AIO tools doesn't seem to allow me to reboot into bootloader either... that command just restarts the phone and gets it stuck on HTC screen.... BUT the "reboot into recovery" works here too

Problem 2 ) The device is being detected by my pc but I can't access the file system in it. It just showing as a drive with no GB in it whatsoever . when I use "adb devices" in cmd it shows my device along with the serial id though.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
So, what's your situation at the moment? You can get into recovery? What are you trying to do?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Well, I'm not sure what my course of action should be.

I'm in recovery mode right now. Got there using AIO.

The Android Revolution HD rom is STILL in there.

However, I'm wondering if I should put in a new rom using adb push (just watched a youtube video that says I can apparently do that)

Or should I REFLASH with new recovery and then install the rom?

What should be by next step? Because I dont want to be making mistakes
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazLiew:
It is not bricked, you should hold down your vol down+power a tad bit longer, you should hold it until the screen comes on and not until when it's turned off. If the installation is stucked in recovery you should be able to go to bootloader.

You need to mount usb to your computer first. If you cannot find the option to mount it, you probably need to push files through adb in fastboot mode.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
I would just try flashing the ROM again - it sticks at 30% all the time, it's a common problem with Aroma (the installer), nothing to do with anything you've done, nor the ROMs fault. It sometimes takes a few tries to get it properly. I'd recommend using the volume and power buttons to navigate around aroma instead of using the touchscreen...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Yeah, I tried that too. The phone was INITIALLY just stuck and wouldn't even restart. Nothing I did made it restart until finally... I used adb reboot bootloader to make the phone finally restart into the HTC screen. But no matter what I try to do, it hasn't taken me to the bootloader even ONCE, ever since I got the phone in fact.

Should I push in a new rom using adb? And if so, which one? Android Revolution HD (fresh download) or a different one that you recommend?

Btw, I apologise for the delayed replies, the forum is making me wait between each message since I'm new
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryryzz:
While in recovery, on your computer try boot into bootloader with "adb reboot bootloader" and see if your phone can boot into fastboot mode. If it can, I strongly recommend you to COMPLETELY go back to stock by flashing your RUU.exe. After going back to stock, do the whole process of unlock/root again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
It's funny you mention that! I had serious issues navigating through the aroma installer, I would have to click the "next" button at least 2-3 times. And when I tried using the volume buttons, it would only go to the button inbetween "back" and "next" which was something like "more info"

Does this point toward any other issue? Or should I go ahead with flashing rom again?

I used adb reboot bootloader to get OUT of the installtion screen, but it didnt take me to the bootloader (as usual) it just restarted. The AIO tools also didn't take me to bootloader when I used one of the commands there. So going to booatloader is really being impossible now!! :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazLiew:
I think u need to send it to repair or warranty. Since you can't go to bootloader there's a lot of things you can't do right now.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
So now I have two options at hand now...

1) Go ahead with rom installation (this I know how to do)

2) Flash official stock using RUU (this I dont know how to do yet, since I'm not entire sure what carrier this was initially on)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Mate, just reflash the rom. The same rom. You don't need to push another rom, just reflash it ok? :D You aren't bricked, far from it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electronic Punk:
Yeah less wit the bricked, if the bootloader loads or the rom starts loading you can save it. Less fear mongering.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themike10452:
either push a new rom with adb to sd card, or if you can't push with adb try putting your sd in another phone and connect it to pc and move the zip to it, then try to wipe and flash all over again. Try a new rom that doesn't have aroma installer. it's up to you, and the last thing I do is going to a warranty center. Anyway you should download the stock htc firmware you'll use it a lot later in case you have problems with flashing and changing kernels etc...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Haha, alright guys! Thanks for the support.

In the installation process of the Android Revolution rom again.

It's asking me to select my HTC One variant. Last time I picked "HTC One (International) because I wasn't sure which one it was.....

Is that fine? Or is this step crucial?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryryzz:
what is your phone's cid and model id?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazLiew:
1) He can try to install the Rom and then if he can go to bootloader he is very lucky. But if he cannot then he probably can't get into it in the future.

2) flashing official ruu requires "locked" or "relocked" in bootloader seeing as he is rooted he probably unlocked his phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Model Number is PN07120 (looked at the Safety and Regulatory manual that came with it) is that what you're lookign for?

Gonna check CID through the All In One kit and get back to you as soon as the forum lets me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Ok, not being rude to everyone else but can you ignore them and just listen to me? They are giving you incorrect info :)

Select AT&T. Select any mods you want. Install. IF it freezes, repeat until it doesn't.

This is all you need to do. You will be able to access HBOOT after this, it's no issue.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Godamnit, can't get CID using AIO or even getvar cid cause it takes it to bootloader and since it can't go into bootloader it just waits at "waiting for device"

Sigh...

Which variant should I wing?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
Said this basically about an hour ago - then everyone started talking about RUUs, bricked, warranties, etc... Lol.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Aye aye sir!

IF it does freeze, should I keep selecting AT&T ? Or the next option each time. (Installing right now) (Again at 30% but on a different file this tim..)

"Installing: Extract:/system/media/audio/notification/Purple.mp3"

last time it was aero.mp3

How long should I wait before deeming it stuck?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Are you on AT&T? I assumed so :D

Urm wait a good minute. The progress bar has a shine that moves, so if that 'shine' stops then I assume it's crashed because it never usually stops
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Yeah that shine has stopped moving. Think it's stuck again.

It's getting stuck at the extraction of the mp3s =/

Should I reboot?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Yeah. Which version of Android Revolution are you trying to install?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Android Revolution HD-ONE_11.0
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Try flashing as international instead. That version uses the new AROMA so it shouldn't be freezing :/
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Trying that right now...should I try selecting no mods and no apps?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
That shouldn't make a difference. Those are installed at the end of the script
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Once again...stuck at the MP3s

This time it's .../ringtones/Aqua.mp3

Something is going wrong somewhere there =/
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Try redownloading the ROM I guess, might not have copied correctly
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
and push it using adb push /file location?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Like the guide in my signature
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Oh okay, I just tried doing it myself and I got this message : "failed to copy : Read-only file system"

I did : " adb push /fileLocation/fileName.zip /sdcard/download

Gonna read your guide now
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
I think my mistake was not being in recovery mode when trying to do this.

Am I right? Cause I see in your guide that you said to "Plug your phone into your computer in recovery mode, and in CMD type:"
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
Yes adb push should be done in recovery.

Also, if you put your ROM.zip file in the same folder as your adb files you can just type:

adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Thanks for the reply man! Been refreshing page every 30 seconds :P

Okay, so I did as the guide said, put it in /data/media

It's taking a while though. Been at least 8 minutes I think

Also, before pushing the rom, I pushed a "test.txt" to see if it works, it seemed to happen instantly but I got no "confirmation" message that the file did transfer... is that normal? Or am I supposed to get a confirmation a long with the duration of transfer?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcl0328:
is the bright light thing a joke or real?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
I've looked around and it's real apparently. Seemed to work for other people.

Btw it seems like it's STILL copying... how do I know if it's hung or not?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themike10452:
when it pushes successfully it should say something like:

Done!

340000 bytes in 1.2 seconds

3000 kb/s

something like that

large files take some time

write speed will be around 3 mb/s

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

BTW check your rom zip for errors.

try to extract it somewhere and see if it gives an error. If you use winrar open the zip and click "Test"
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
It didn't say "Done!" or anything after I pushed the test.txt file. It just went straignt to the next line where I can put in another command. So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say somethin is wrong...

This time it's not even gone to the next line
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
If you choose install zip from sideload in recovery and command

adb sideload name_of_rom.zip

It gives a percentage of the transfer on your PC then begins to install automatically without having to locate it once it's finished transferring.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
There's no "Test" in the main folder. Is it in one of the subfolders?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Hi mate, can I use TeamViewer on your PC and see what's going on wrong with the adb push?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Think I'm in trouble again

When I went into sideload in the recovery, for some reason my device went offline too

Now when I try to reboot into recovery it says device offline

when I check for adb devices it says "CWM-HTC offline"

My phone is on the Sideload started... screen.

I think the only solution is stock firmware. check out this video.

About the device offline thing, it happens when the system is wiped, adb binaries will be gone so the debugging bridge can't interact with the phone anymore
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryryzz:
All the methods to getting back to stock require fastboot. OP's biggest problem is his bootloader is inaccessible.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Alright so the phone won't turn off so he is gonna need to wait for battery to expire :/ lights don't even turn on when button is held under a lamp

Should OP send his phone to HTC service and claim for an exchange and everything would be sorted out in an easy way :cool:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Still stuck on that screen...

Is this what bricking is? Or do I just have to wait for phone to die now?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Does installing a custom recovery void warranty?

What about custom rom? Some google searches I do say they don't but I'm getting mixed answers.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
They are mixed because I think different people get different results, it seems people have more luck when they take it to their carrier. Also may depend on whether the fault is hardware or not. When you unlock the bootloader you agree that it 'may' void your warranty. I seen a post a few days ago that showed a refusal of warranty because of the ***TAMPERED*** label in bootloader (which comes from custom recovery)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoRco1x:
Hmm, that's worrisome. Phone is still stuck on that screen and it's getting pretty hot... Will it die eventually?

Built-in batteries suck really :/ I can't understand why can't you flash stock firmware from recovery? You are able to access recovery so why the need to access the bootloader? I am on Xperia device and I think HTC is a bit different. Doesn't htc have a flasher like flashtool for xperia and oddin for Samsung mobiles?

If you want my advice, go for Sony Xperia Z/T/V whatever or Samsung Galaxy S4. They are really easy to unbrick by using a usb cable and a pc, no need to even boot the phone, just plug it in and flash stock firmware using flashtool/oddin. And both phones have android 4.2.2 now, official for GS4 and coming soon on Xperia Z (now official AOSP version is available)
