As [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] said you can ignore. He's been around such a long time and helped me in many ways as well. So just believe him. He wouldn't tell you to ignore, if something could go wrong by it.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jsaxon2:
I agree, you can trust the captain. I've had that error in TWRP since 1.90 update but everything functions fine. Nothing to see here.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Captain_Throwback:
How did you update your firmware? Was it via OTA, or from another source?

I think this problem was caused by a "bad" android-info.txt in the firmware zip, if I recall correctly. [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION], [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION], any recollection?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jsaxon2:
I used the Data Wipe version from the MaximusHD thread, but I did modify the android-info.txt to work for my US Unlocked phone. I probably caused the issue my self, but everything is working so I haven't tried to fix it. If there is something you want me to try, I'm up for it. I'm s-off and unlocked. If not, I'm not concerned at this point. Thanks for your time.

Also, I used the htc_fastboot method.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nkk71:
Yep, only problem is, I can't seem to find the post that mentioned all of this, so here we go again... though i think last time was better:

depending on the android-info, various partitions can get "erased" vs "formatted" (ie nulled out instead of being formatted to ext4), those typically include carrier, appreload, and cache

TWRP expects them to be ext4 formatted and therefore cannot mount them (since they have been nulled out by the firmware flash)

you can safely ignore any partition "unable to mount" errors from twrp, the important ones are system and data (boot, and most of the rest are raw anyway, so they won't show up as "unable to mount")

cache, appreload, carrier, will get re-formatted properly when and if the actual ROM boots up, and deems it necessary to use them

I'm coming from the Samsung world of Safestrap, but now have a VZW HTC 10. I've tried using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img but it always hangs at [waiting for device] every single time. I am s-off. What am I missing?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] EmptySoft:
Have you enabled Developer Options (14 times press the Build-Number) and then in the Developer Options the Option USB-Debugging?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Captain_Throwback:
Have you installed the USB drivers from the HTC Sync Manager installation? You'll need those installed for the device to be recognized by the PC. The easiest way to get the latest drivers is to install HTC Sync Manager and then uninstall it. The drivers will remain.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aleggsue:
Yes I installed HTC sync manager, and I have USB debugging on as well. For some reason, it still hangs at <waiting for device>

also when I do fastboot devices nothing happens
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Captain_Throwback:
Is the device in Download mode? It kind of sounds like you're trying to do this while booted into Android....
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] yldlj:
Try htc fastboot found on htc dev
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aleggsue:
First tried in bootloader mode per twrp site instructions, then another user said to try it in download mode, and that didn't work either. Almost like the computer can't communicate with the phone in Download or Bootloader mode using fastboot.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jollywhitefoot:
For this device, it's definitely download mode, not bootloader mode.

What version of Windows are you on?

Sounds like a driver issue. Have you checked Device Manager to see if the phone shows up there? I think in fastboot mode, it should show up as "Android USB Device" (or something like that) at the top of device manager (as opposed to "My HTC").
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aleggsue:
I'm on windows 7 pro. It shows up as the model code instead.

When trying fastboot flash recovery twrp.img in download mode, it hangs at <waiting for device>
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Sure that all drivers are properly installed. Are you using fastboot from SDK or htc_fastboot? But that shouldn't matter at this point, so I guess it's a driver issue as well.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aleggsue:
What drivers would I need? I already installed HTC sync manager for the drivers, and I'm still having problems with fastboot working. Like I can use command prompt to adb reboot download but anything after that just hangs
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
How old is you fastboot, meaning what exact version are you using?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aleggsue:
1.4.2 from XDA
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nkk71:
FAQ #2 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2

it also has a link to htc drivers only in there
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
So fastboot should be up to date, at least as far as I can tell latest adb/fastboot of version 1.0.3.5 are delivered in the file your talking about.

Did you install latest HTC Sync to check if all HTC drivers are up to date. Did UNINSTALLHTC Sync prior to using fastboot so the port isn't blocked by it, does your adb/fastboot folder contain blanks in it's name? Just a few mistakes that happen really often.

Very easy and very fast, try with Flashify!
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aleggsue:
Update: "error: cannot load 'twrp.img'

the file is in the adb folder, and exact string match so I'm not sure what's wrong now.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

I'm trying to flash twrp using fastboot so that I can install supersu binaries so that I can install supersu so that I can properly do things as root.

Right?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nkk71:
i posted a small link earlier, did you read it? i know it's really old, but not only does it mention the driver issue, it also mentions the "cannot load" part

which just means, your filename / path is just wrong.... aka MyFileNameIsJustWrong.img.img you can use this to make things easier, and get used to command prompt, there's also a drag & drop option, but i dont use it much :o
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aleggsue:
I do know how to make paths and stuff correctly (took a small Unix class) but I don't know why things aren't working because the filename/path is correct and ADB works properly, just anything fastboot doesn't work
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] atomantmk:
Open your adb folder and open CMD with Shift and right click and try to install TWRP. fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-6-pme.img

In case your PC don't see your phone go to Control Panel, System and Security, System and Device Manager and see if you found Android USB Devices and when you click it must be My HTC.

If you see yellow or question mark you must to install driver, right click and Scan For Hardware Changes, after that you can install TWRP without problem.

Drivers can be downloaded from here http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver

[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aleggsue:
It does show My HTC, and when I type that command in command prompt, it hangs at (waiting for device).

Should it hang for awhile during this process?

Update: It now says "error: cannot load" but the filename is an exact match in both adb folder and command prompt, and I'm sure nothing is misspelled. What else could be causing conflict?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] nkk71:
cannot load, really just means the filename is wrong. if you're using windows (and used file explorer to rename the file), then you have likely ended up with a "name of file.img.img" (double extension)

I still highly recommend a DIR in your current directory to see the full list of files, eg:

[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] topjohnwu:
Yep it is working marvelously.

However I also found some minor bugs. One is stated above, reboot recovery is not working.

Also the date and time is not correct in TWRP.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Captain_Throwback:
Added the reboot to recovery issue to the bugs list. That issue is a side effect of the hack I have to do for touch to work with the prebuilt kernel. So it's either working touch, or working reboot to recovery until kernel source is released.

As far as the time/time zone issues, there's nothing device-specific there so if there's an issue, it's with upstream. None of my previous testers noticed an issue with it, though, so it may be a locale-specific issue. I can try not included the time zone data in the build, but I think that wouldn't fix anything and would just add log spam.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Captain_Throwback:
Can someone that's removed encryption from their device please test the 3.0.2-2 version I posted, and let me know if Internal Storage mounts? It seems that moving the location of the settings file may have the unintended side effect of preventing /data from mounting, in cases where it's available. Please let me know.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] topjohnwu:
Yes, just decrypted my data, and TWRP is unable to mount the internal storage.

[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] rav101:
I'm on the g4 and as I have the European version I have an unlocked bootloader. The T mobile one also had an unlocked bootloader so both got twrp. However because none of the others got an official (or unofficial bootloader unlock) I found the development for the g4 was not so great. We could be in for a repeat with the g5!?

[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Captain_Throwback:

[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] madcowintucson:
Ok sorry I have t mobile htc 10 and I backed up my ICE rom yesterday. Now I tried to restore it but the device freezes on htc screen with white background. I was able to get back into recovery and reflash the ICE rom and that works as a dirty flash on the backed up rom I just found out, but why can I not do a restore just by hitting restore from the backup. I am on twrp 3.0.2-5 ? Or what am I doing wrong? I read the forums but I cannot find anything.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jollywhitefoot:
A couple of things could cause this.

1-Bad backup (unlikely but possible) and system doesn't restore properly

2-You didn't back up or didn't restore ICE boot.img and after you backed up ice, you flashed a stock kernel (like if you updated firmware from on ota).
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JohnCorleone:
Did you also back up the storage? Is it possible that you hadn't pressed the "Keep Read Only" yet when you made the backup? I had a couple of nand restores sit at the splash screen as well but my initial pure stock backups always worked.

I tried to update from TWRP 3.0.2-4 to 3.0.2-6 using the Install image option in the recovery (thanks to Captain Throwback for the heads up on that!) but it errored out. It seems like my bootloader screen was temporarily black. Next I tried flashing it the old fashioned way using adb fastboot and I got an "error 255" on that one...I then tried the one that I have been using since I got the phone and it worked first try. It's possible that it was a bad download though. I have had a couple of downloads I saved directly on the XDA Labs beta app need to be replaced....unless "error 255" means something to Captain Throwback...
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] madcowintucson:
my apologies, i just thought it was a simple backup and then later restore. i only check marked the boxes in the backup screen, i do not have storage or boot.img as options to back up or keep read only as options to check mark boxes..

under partitions i have:

system

system image

cache

data

boot

recovery

those are the only partitions i have to select

under options i have:

enable compression

skip md5

disable free space check

So i do not follow what you both mean
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JohnCorleone:
Ok, so I am trying to figure out if you pressed the "keep read only" button to enable system write ability. I didn't when I made my original stock nandroid and I kept flashing zips from the external SD so when I went to restoremy backup, I never enabled system.write so any custom configured ROMs would not restore or they would but it sat at the splash screen

Try booting into recovery and select install/internal storage and check to see I'f your system has read/write enabled not just "keep read only". Now if you are S-Off, it already takes care ofmaking the system write option enabled.

I guess Iwas tryingto understand if you are running stock, are rooted, s-on or s-off, custom ROM, etc
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jollywhitefoot:
What I'm saying is you might not have backed up/restored "boot".

What he's saying is you might have system mounted as read only. To check, from the main TWRP menu, go to mount and put a check mark next to system and make sure there is NOT a check mark next to "mount system as read only" near the bottom of the screen. I kind of doubt this is the case since you were able to flash the rom successfully, but you never know.

Typically, for custom rom installations, a full backup would be system, boot and data. But system and boot aren't totally necessary if you keep a copy of the rom zip on your device. Since you could just restore data (where all your personal settings and stuff is stored) then reflash the rom by using the zip.

I hope this helps.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] schmeggy929:
Backup should really only need

System

Data

Boot

The problem is you backuped everything.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jascolli:
How did you fix it? I'm getting the same error code. Thx!
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] madcowintucson:
Well I 2as stuck in that white HTC screen for about 20 minutes while I searched around on how to turn the phone off or reboot it. What I ended up doing was holding I believe the power and volume down key for a very long time. What happened to me is the capacities touch keys started flashing for awhile but nothing would ever happen while I held those buttons down. So I held down ling and not sure the exact happening but finally Tue phone shut off and rebooted into the HTC recovery screen. From there I could select reboot to bootloader and then recovery and when I did that it went back to twrp.

By the was I am on HTC 10 T-Mobile, I was on ? ICE ROM VERSION 330, I am rooted with S-on I believe and no super-cid.

So after I got back to twrp I dirty flashed the ice rom and when it booted I was back into my actual backup that I tried to restore lol, just basically dirty flash reset all my settings.

The reason I did all this was because for some reason HTC car app would no longer go home when I hit the home button, instead it keep mentioning something about Android auto on kind of a greenish screen that would flash up and then disappear quickly. When I exited out of HTC car the home button worked as usual. Also I knowticed that HTC requires HTC music to work properly and I left that out of my latest flash so I dirty flashed the rom with HTC music but still to no avail. So I backed up everything and then did a clean flash of the room and HTC car works properly and the home button takes me home. One thing I also observed is that it asks me if I want HTC car or Android auto to be my default launcher, but I never installed Android auto so not sure why that is there.

So everything is working normal after clean flash.

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

I checked recovery and under mount the system box was unchecked and the mount as read only was also unchecked. So if I understood you both correctly I checked the box system and left the mount as read only unchecked. I saw this was for the external SD card so I checked internal and the system box was check and mount system was unchecked.

Is this correct this is what you have me to do?

Also when I did the backup I did check all boxes. I did this because really I wanted to back up my phone call logs and text messages and really for no other reason. Everything else j can reinstall easily manually it does not bother me.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

OK I just checked as you ask and I do not have this as an option to see or select if my system has read/right or keep read only. It does not exist in any options I have checked. I did check the external SD card and the box under system was unchecked. Before it was checked but I realised I forgot to add in my external SD card. Now I let it in and checked again and it was unchecked, so I checked it and the box at the bottom was unchecked so i left it that way. Where are toy seeing these options you speak of and why do I not have them?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JohnCorleone:
Oh it's really only relevant when you want to make a total stock backup and not have the system partition touched so you can get OTA updates. If you are s off or running a custom ROM, most likely the system is already mounted read/write. It was something I thought you could check because I have been having backups I restore from my external SD seem to freeze at boot.. except for a total stock backup. I think I need to format my SD card.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Cro Cop:
After carefully reading all of your posts, I'm now confused AF. :P

When I want to restore my fully stock backup (image+boot, so I can download/install OTA), in Mount tab - do I need to put a checkmark on system or should I only put a checkmark on "mount system as read-only" ?
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jollywhitefoot:
Just read the FAQ in post #2 of this thread. [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] is the expert here and has spelled everything out exactly in there.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jtommyj:
I found out its something with the stock rom or debloated Verizon rom.

Viper, ice, and leedroid seem to back up OK.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jascolli:
Same here. I get viper, leedroid and ice to back up fine but when trying to backup the stock deodex rom i get the error. Im stumped. Glad its not just me though [emoji6]
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] JohnCorleone:
I think it is because the backup of stock ROMs have the system as "read only" so it doesn't restore but the custom ROMs are all read write because the devs worked their magic on them. I THINK that's why it is recommended that you backup the "system image, and one other partition image to restore if there is an OTA update. Custom ROMs are read/write, rooted, include Buaybox and some have Aroma installer which can remove things from the system partition before the first boot.
[HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jascolli:
Thanks. So what exactly do i need to check off in twrp do do a stock backup of andybones stock rom?
