Phone won't boot
Basketballhero75 said:
Yesterday I tried to root, unlock bootloader, and S-Off my device:
1.) Started with root. I downloaded weaksauce (I was on a firmware that still supported it)
Obtained temporary root while booted into OS
2.) Firewater to gain S-OFF and unlock bootloader
Worked like a charm
3.) Flashed TWRP Recovery
Worked like a charm
4.) Downloaded and flashed a new ROM (Andybones)
Horrible idea.
After backing up my nandroid backup, I did a system wipe like always and tried to load the new ROM... didn't work. I got nervous and tried to restore backup. Didn't work.
I tried to RUU the phone back to stock. Didn't work. Phone went wonky somehow along the process and now my partition tables are all screwed up. Phone will not boot, only load HTC splashscreen.
I have maintained fastboot from the bootloader, and my custom recoveries still boot, but they cannot mount the internal SD card at all. I get the errors "E: Can't mount /Internal Storage" or E: Can't mount /cache".
I've flashed multiple RUUs and none of them seem to fix my issue. Even though the system installs, the phone can't boot from that system and any recovery I have can't help me either since it can't read into the SD card at all, or even detect it. My Internal storage space is defined as 0MB.
I'm stuck with a brick as of right now and could really use some help. If anyone has a skype or anything please reach out to me. I am left phoneless for the time being. This should be fixable since I have s-off still; I just don't have the experience to do it.

Exactly what file did you use to flash TWRP?

Basketballhero75 said:
I've used various different recoveries of TWRP including 2.7.1.2, and some others (not on my other computer at the moment). I also tried the most up to date CWM recovery. None of them are able to mount, repair, sideload, or fix any of the partitions.

I didn't ask you for the version of TWRP, I asked for the exact name of the TWRP image file you used. And where did you get it?
No idea
Basketballhero75 said:
A developer friend of mine was helping me out and he was doing all the downloading and flashing. I'm not too sure of the where but the file name is "TWRP_2.7.1.2.zip". and the CWM recovery was called "Recovery 6.0.4.8".
I'm 99.5% sure that it's not the recovery that's the issue here though.

The reason he is asking is because our model has different mount points than the other variants. Use the recovery in the below linked thread. It is flashable in ruu mode. He may have flashed an m7 recovery and not an m7wlv/m7vzw recovery.

Have your friend who helped you inform you if he used a specific Verizon ruu and recovery, as using an International, AT&T, Sprint, GPE, etc ruu will wreak havoc and cause headaches.
Use the ruu and follow dottdat's instructions in the above thread. If you can boot to bootloader, then all is not lost, just follow the instructions and commands to ruu with the Verizon specific ruu and recovery found in that thread and you should be set.

Well is for me lol
Root doesn't matter when you're S-OFF and have a custom recovery installed. Root comes into play when the OS is actually running and from the sound of it, your internal storage got wiped, hence why it can't mount system.
When you are in TWRP, plug your phone in to the computer and it should allow you to do adb commands.
Grab the ROM of your choice, I'd recommend InsertCoin but you can use any ROM, download that to your computer.
In TWRP, do Wipe/Advanced Wipe and check Dalvik, System, Cache, Data (do not check Internal Storage, microSD, or USB-OTG) then swipe to wipe, reboot recovery.
Now open up a command prompt with adb and do adb push romnamehere.zip /sdcard/romnamehere.zip
Then install the ROM as normal.
Reboot and if you get hung at the HTC screen again, you can try the same thing but wipe internal storage as well. Note that will wipe everything on your device but it may fix it. If it does not, you may have a failing eMMC chip, something I saw a few times on the M7, which would require a replacement device. I don't believe we have a RUU out yet which would kind of mean you're SOL. You would have to use the instructions to return to 100% stock in order to get warranty service or if you have insurance you would have to pay your deductible since you modified the device.
Before wiping internal storage post here again if the above instructions fail. There are other things you can try first.

Check the MD5 of the roms you are downloading. Also, which rom are you trying to flash and which phone do you have?
What recovery are you using?
Assuming the MD5 of the roms you are flashing do matchup and this isn't just a corrupted data issue. I would redownload whatever recovery you're using,
Check the MD5 of the recovery image
Flash said recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
then use fastboot to erase cache
fastboot erase cache
Then select recovery from the bootloader screen
Then factory reset
Then wipe system in advanced wipe
Then try flashing your rom again.
Iam have TWRP v2.7.0.2
The phone is Verizon m8.
Roms : Revolution HD and Viper
and what does it mean md5 matchup ?
when trying to flash revolution HD it gets to the point where it saying :

When you download a ROM, typically the md5 checksum is posted on the download page. Using an md5 checking program, you can verify the integrity of the files you download by generating the md5 checksum of the file you downloaded and comparing it to the one posted on the site where you downloaded your file from.
Use google if you do not have an md5 checking program. Flashing something like a firmware or anything that alters any emmc partitions that has data corruption could brick your phone. Hence and MD5 checking tool is invaluable when rooting/modding your phone.

Hmmm on Verizon??? Hmmm Verizon does have it's own separate XDA forum.. maybe you should try roms from there?? not sure if they're different but if XDA differentiated, then probably..

I soft bricked my M8 and wiped the phone with twrp then tried to sideload the GPE rom I was using again and it wouldn't work. In fact I can't flash any rom that isn't cyanogen mod nightly for the m8... Also my bootloader changed from the white screen with the droid bots on a skateboard to a black screen with a single droid on it. Any idea why I can't flash anything besides cyanogen?

Did you try pushing the rom instead of sideloading it? Apparently sideloading in TWRP doesn't work, or doesn't work like it should
Try pushing it to the correct path and flash again.

Yeah, once I got the phone fixed I tried to load it normally. However it still didn't work. I tried other recoveries like Philz Touch too. Unfortunately firewater doesn't work for me.

Try flashing the boot.img file that comes with the ROM first, then re-flash the ROM of your choice.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go back into recovery of choice, wipe cache, dalvik-cache etc Then go to installed zip and select the ROM of your choice and flash the ROM.
Firewater won't work anymore for "later released" models that gets shipped with latest firmware. HTC patched it, you "MIGHT" be lucky if you still have an older device.
The developers of Firewater did however create another method to S-OFF the device. [Android][HTC S-OFF] SunShine for modern HTC devices
Sunshine is $25 but it works. It first checks your phone for compatibility before you pay for anything. That way if your device "isn't" compatible then it won't make you pay $25 for something that "won't" work.
Something to look into if you have $25 to spare :good:

I'd still give the format option a try, I wasn't able to flash any roms except for the CM nightly as well, then I made it worse by trying to wipe the internal data which led to not being able to mount the internal partition, and couldn't even get into the bootloader until my phone battery died. I remember reading that the format would allow me to mount the internal storage. You may be able to fix the issues with a format and then try flashing a rom.
Did you try converting your phone over to GPE? That's what it sounds like you tried to do. If so then that is why nothing is working because the partitions are layed out differently from a stock sense M8. You need to wipe everything and run whatever RUU is available for your device and pray to god it works because you are s-on... You seriously should have been s-off before doing all of this. Being s-on is really going to complicate things for you bro... That's also probably why you can't fastboot the kernel. Find a RUU for your phone and run it. Post back here if you get any "main version" errors cuz then some tricks will need to be done.. Feel free to PM me, maybe I can assist directly getting you back up and running...

Hi there, I have been an avid Android user for years and also a keen XDA-developer!

I have tried mounting a ROM onto an SD card then putting into the phone to flash, it fails. I have tried sideloading a ROM, it fails.

I don't know what that means.
You can copy a nandroid backup to the right folder on the phone or sdcard and restore it with the correct recovery (twrp, philz, cwm, whatever the backup was made with).

Dodgy ROM? Dodgy recovery? Did you check the md5 of both before flashing?
I just recently got an HTC one m7 that I've fully unlocked, s-off'd, and rooted and now when I try to install a Rom it fails or I should say it hangs on 1% never advancing. Furthest I've gotten is 7% on santod's nusensesixMAX Rom but it wouldn't finish. Is it my recovery? I'm on the latest TWRP. Anyone with any input please
Have you tried the No data Wipe RUU and see if it takes?
No I haven't
I would suggest doing that RUU. it is the one @dottat made where he says it will not wipe SD card that way you do not lose anything on the card. If it is a borked emmc chip and needs fixing, Dottat has some tricks up his sleeve that may work.

Update your twrp recovery to the latest. That is why system won't mount in recovery.
i flashed new firmware to my htc one m8
I got into recovery and changed the name firmware file.
but now in the recovery it doesn't recognize my internal storage, kind of. it says 0 mb.
And when I try via adb to push a file to it it fails. (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/)
so it seems like i only have the external card now working.
what can I do?
I'm currently in the stage where i have the firmware file in the right name and it keeps asking me to update, if i remove the external card, i can get into recovery change the name, and then i see it won't read the internal storage like i wrote up here.
but after I change the name i can get into fastboot mode.
I currently have recovery mode - twrp 2.8.0.3
p.s I think my internal storage does work, cause i can go into recovery mode(twrp), my external_sd was formmated
before i used to update the firmware, so it has nothing except for that file
You're not flashing the firmware through recovery, are you?
No, i flashed, with the guide here, via an external card, changing the name of the firnware so the hboot would recognize it.. and update it

I have TWRP 2.8.0.6. You can download TWRP manager from Play Store, it has a list of TWRP versions you can install. The app installs them too. Everytime I used the app to install it, it says it failed but it actually works, just install, then say ok to the failed install pop up and reboot into recovery and it'll be there.
Edit: As soon as the firmware has flashed successfully, boot up and delete the firmware file off of your external SD card so it doesn't keep asking you to update.

I need to download it, and flash it via fastboot. I'm wondering if that's the problem that the internal storage is giving me these problems or it has nothing to do with it.
Does a different firmware require different twrp versions?

Not as far as I know. Your best bet man is probably to download an RUU and just flash that through fastboot or the external sd card method. Then after that, flash the TWRP then put a ROM zip on your phone and flash that way.

No, an RUU is a complete system install. Completely stock with the exception of some RUUs contain root. But it will wipe everything on your phone, all your personal data and what not.
