I have recently acquired a Telus/Koodo GSM HTC One V and successfully installed Shpongle. I noticed there were problems when connecting the phone to my computer, it appears as two removable devices and a CD drive. I never did try connecting the phone to a computer in its stock condition, I assumed transferring files to the phone would not be an issue. Anyway, I decided to restore the backup I created of the stock ROM installation to see if there is a greater hardware issue with the phone. The result of the backup is a phone that hangs on the splash screen.
What I have done to the phone up to this point.
Unlock the bootloader
Root
Flash Recovery - TWRP v2.3.3.0
Backup Stock ROM with TWRP
Install custom ROM (shpongle_primou-20130521) and Kernel (boot-HELLBOY-20130514 )
Install GAPPS
Noticed problem with when trying to copy files to the phone.
Restore backup of stock ROM - failed
I can still get to the bootloader and the recovery.
If the connectivity issues can be resolved with a simple fix then I do not mind going back to the custom ROM. If there is no fix or it is too late to implement, I would very much like to get the phone back to the stock condition and test the connectivity issues. What are the appropriate next steps to remedy this situation?
You need a kernel change. Titanium kiss might work. There is also a stock kernel linked in one of these threads somewhere. Not sure, but I may have downloaded it
Thanks mrcorey for the insight on the kernel incompatibility.
I downloaded the RUU and found instructions to extract and flash the ROM and kernel to the phone. After upgrading it by running the RUU completely, I had a working phone again. Everything is back to stock as far as I can tell and USB connectivity is as it should be. Once connected to a PC and selecting the disk drive option on the stock HTC ROM both the internal memory and the microSD card are available in windows explorer. Why is the internal memory and card not accessible in windows when I had Sphongle installed on the phone? Is there a option that was not set right to get things to work properly?

Was running a Rotted stock Rom which is flashed with CWM. All was fine until i tried to install Google official 4.2.1 update. That messed up something and now i cant get it to boot. I wiped everything in CWM but nothing. Also been trying to connect it to PC to transfer a new ROM but i dont know why the mount sdcard option is not working.
1) you were not on a 100% stock rom, so dont ever take a OTA
2) the mount sdcard will never work on this phone as there is no sdcard
3) do yourself a favor and follow this (it even has a section on how to root your phone): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
Restore
Try this it has always worked for me and I have bricked my phone many, many times. I find this to be so much easier than all the other ways out there, but that's just me.

Thanks for the help. I turned it back to stock and all good now.
Hi,
I finally decided to root my phone and flash Cyanogenmod (1/10/2013 nightly) on my S3 today, and I've run into a couple problems. First, the phone won't connect to 4G lte -- it only connects to 3g. When I try and change the network preferences, the changes don't stay, and changing the APN doesn't make any difference either.
This brings me to my second problem -- Since I couldn't get the phone to connect to lte, I decided to restore my phone to the backup I set up through clockworkmod before I installed Cyanogenmod. However, when I tried to restore, clockworkmod said that it couldn't find any backup files. I checked in the clockworkmod/backup folder, and the backup was there, but it was dated as 2/5/70! Did something go wrong with the backup?
Can anyone help me with these issues?
So I found out the problem; apparently it was somewhat widespread. the 4.2 update created new user profiles which changed the location of the backup files. I ended up using the file manager to move the backup file to sdcard0/ from sdcard0/0/. I was able to restore from the backup, but it seemed to be taking a long time to boot, so I pulled the battery as I thought it was stuck in a bootloop. I tried flashing a the rooted stock firmware from one of the Galaxy S3 root guides (because it was already on my computer) to see if that would make a difference, and the phone eventually was able to boot up. It turned out the backup restore had worked, as my previous apps were on the phone. However, almost none of them work, because the sdcard0/0 directory still exists, and this previous version of Android doesn't recognize the location (at least I think this is the problem).
Anyway, does anyone know if I can just get my phone back to the way it was before I installed the custom recovery and ROM? Is there any way to install firmware that gets rid of this sdcard0/0/ directory so I can restore from backup properly? I'm in way over my head here (I shouldn't have even attempted this in the first place) and would really appreciate some help.
Hey guys, I've got a really weird issue here. After performing a factory reset with Odin to get back to stock (latest update), I all of a sudden lost any SIM functionality and USB functionality while in Android. I cannot transfer files, I cannot use ADB, it only charges, and my SIM is undetectable rendering the phone just a wifi android device. It does this with TMobile official and the international ROM for the T889. I was attempting to install CM10.1, but apparently the recovery on the Root Sticky is too outdated and CM10 errors out on install, and ROM Manager is unable to download any ROMs or update CWM. Really, really kind of stuck here, and I don't even know what's causing this. I've factory reset about a million times now or tried backups/different ROMs. Oh also, apparently my internal SD card is gone now too.
Anyone ever had some kind of issue like this? Not being able to ADB at all when CWM and Odin work perfectly is driving me insaaaneee!
EDIT/TLDR:
Internal storage /storage/sdcard, usb connections inside android, and the SIM simply do not exist to the device, and CWM cannot format/mount sdcard. Oddly, apps can download and run w/o the extsdcard, but downloading things from chrome will crash it. Still no ideas of how to fix.
HI,
I am sorry as this is commented on 100's of times & I have read & read but I just keep going round in circles.
A while ago I rooted my HTC One X (Can't remember exact method as some worked & some did not)
Did not change ROM so should be/is stock.
Endeavoru pvt ship s-on rl
HBoot 1.36.0000
... 16 Nov2012
I have 4.1.1 Vodafone VODAP001 uk
I would like to upgrade to 4.2.2
Preferably with root but I think now just get back to full stock & allow OTA & root again at a later date.
Ideally user Super SU etc to temp root & OTA.
CWM v5.8.4.0
OTA update fails Unknown Volume For Path ... - I expected this but have since tried with SuperSU & super user with temp unroot but still no luck.
Always full factory/dalvic wipe etc.
I even tried CM10.1 but seemed to install but got stuck once rebooted, Can't remember error but on intitial setup (Language choice behind error window) just allows Click OK constantly. I am surprised this has not worked as seems to have installed & boots OK. I would have thought if down to boot.img or other base issues would not have got this far. Auto installed from CWM & from zip on SD.
Few thing I perhaps don't understand
I am not sure I have stock copies of boot.img or the recovery as when installing ROOT to begin with these things have changed before any chance of a nandroid backup.
I assume all my problems are due to boot.img &/or recovery OR just relocking the bootloader or combination of all.
I am reluctant to use FASTBOOT & re-lock and maybe find I still can't upgrade and then find myself with a non-rooted phone which still won't OTA and perhaps harder to install a custom ROM (If all else failed)
The procedures to do some of these things are huge and so many comments afterwards of people having problems once they have done them.
With root but stock ROM what is the easiest way I might get to 4.2.2
Can I just get any'ish boot.img & recovery & try, do I need to lock the bootloader,
Could any of the temp root methods work.
Is there a risk that I would not be able to get back to my nandroid backups to recover if it goes wrong
(I know there is always a risk of bricking but is it quite likely here)
MaximusHD seems complicated also and with some issues, Android Revolution HD seems widely accepted but then not for use on any VODAP001 or any other tied phones, which must be a majority?
I have rooted & ROM's HTC desires & Desire HD and messed around a lot with these over teh years & never had any problems or lack of understanding (but that was a while back)
Thanks I/A
why not just flashing custom sense 5 rom like ViperX, Magiorom maximus etc?? it's much easier to go back to stock or so
Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply
"it's much easier to go back to stock or so" did you mean it is much easier to go back to stock from a custom ROM or its much easier to install a custom ROM than go back to stock?
The problem/worry I have is Android RevolutionHD & MaximusHD (The 2 I did look at) both say NOT suitable for CID's other than HTC-
I have VODAP001 - Although looking now to list those not supported I can't find the page where is clearly said if they are not HTC-X don't bother trying to upgrade -This is weird & driving me nuts.
Not tried or looked a viperX or others.
I did try CM10.2 - I flash the boot.img that comes with CM for the One X and tried to install & tried to restart and it just freezes a few seconds into the boot. Recvoering my nandrdoi backup did not help, this time I thought I was really screwed.
Fortunately I have copied the nandroid backups to my HD and I managed to flash the old boot back (bloody lucky I copied to Hard disk as being a one X (No SD card) I am not sure I would be able to access the SD without it booting)
Anyway I think with a CID with Vodafone I do not think any of these ROM will work with there supplied boot.img unless I am missing something.
Is the boot.img linked to the Vodafone VODAP001 CID.
Rooting just does not seem worth the hastle anymore, use to love it but just seems too many variations on devices on boot.img, recovery & hboot and after all that so many people with issues, problems & failures.
I just want 4.2.2 now & think it ain't going to happen when those on stock have enjoyed simple OTA upgrades.
I meant that it's easier to install custom sense 5 Rom and stay with it because it has some mods and you don't have the f%cking bloatware inside...just flash in recovery a custom sense 5 Rom, and YES, it will work ...then flash from Rom.zip the boot.img in fastboot and you are fine...with stock you will get much more issues as with custom roms ...for example WiFi is then fixed in custom roms unlike in stock Rom

HI, Thanks again for fast reply,
Tried Android RevolutionHD
Downloaded recovery & boot .img & flashed.
Could not get as far as installing from ZIP, it seems to have wiped the SD Card (internal) so no access to the zip file
Now no access to my nandroid backup, says no files in any of the folders (only a few folders visible now)
reflashed but old boot & recovery but as internal memory seems screwed I am screwed.
The phone sort of starts but cleared of any of my apps or programs & I managed to copy from my hard disk, much to my surprise I could copy the nandroid backup to the sd card
BUT is is still not visible, rather stuck now, trying everything, why the majority of the contents of my internal memory should go is beyond me.
Had enough of this now.
You wiped all or? because if you just make factory reset in custom recovery like cwm or twrp it won't erase all things on phone...but I don't get now what you mean and want...if your Ron is booting all is fine or not ?

Are you have working rom or not? This is the main question?
I now have a working HOX with new 4.2.2 ROM, thanks to all concerned.
After dozens of variations of flashing boot & recovery & installing ROM's & recovering my backups I have a working copy of Android Revolution HD.
I really thought I was on the verge of bricking, would not get passed hboot/fastboot & thought I had lost my backups, especially as my internal memory got wiped, have no idea how that happened and I was very lucky that I have just copied the nandroid backup to my PC else I would have been really screwed, trying to find the correct ROM & boot.img to get me up & running would have been tricky.
I normally get these things sorted in the end but this was not easy.
Thanks again.
Hello,
I got my Htc One on Day 1 that Verizon released it and rooted it using rumrunner, for both S-off and root access with no problems. I have since to update my phone. I would like to update my phone to the latest radios and firmware, and start flashing custom roms.
My problem is I cannot make a backup from TWRP, my company required me to encrypt my phone to get work email but I have since had them remove the encryption but it seems that TWRP is still requesting a password to decrypt my data. I use the same password that I was using to encrypt my device but it says that it is wrong. I was thinking of factory resetting my phone but since there is no SD card will all the data that I have on my internal storage, i.e. the different backs ups I made from various apps still be on the internal storage or will they be deleted too.
Also once the encryption problem is resolved what is the best way to update my phone
Thanks

Everything you need is in this thread -

Just download the newest rom, download the newest firmware package. Put the rom on your SD card, put the firmware in your adb / fastboot firectory etc.....instructions should all be on that page.
Flash the firmware first, get the newest version of TWRP from the original development section here, flash it next, then flash the new sense 6 / 4.4.2 rom from recovery. Profit. You are s-off, so should be easy. I don't think your encryption glitch will even effect the process. And if you mess something up, since you are s-off you can just RUU back to stock. Hope this helps.
