[Q] deleted htc framework file and phone doesnot start.

After rooted my htc One X. In the process of removing at&t crap ware I accidentally deleted something that said htc frame work.
From then on my phone would not start. I unlocked my phone as well. How ever I didnot have any custom ROM installed or didnot have any back up done.
When I tried to reboot my phone after deleting the htc frame work file, it would not start. HTC icon would show up and it would not go further.
These are the things I did.
1. I flashed CWM.
2.I flashed TWRP.
3.I finally flashed CWM. 5.8.3
Then I went to fastboot mode and
removed Dalvik Cache, Erased the sd card
and tried to 'mount usb storage' but it would say
"unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)SD card space free:10169MB"
My phone though shows as a removable disk , when i click on the icon it would say " Please insert disk into removable disk." I tried to save a custom ROM on my memory card and flash it but my system doesnot detect my phone.
Can some one please help me?
Thank you.

You have to relock your HOX and go back to your providers stock rom via the orginal ruu.
This is the only way to restore your mobile.

You're in the wrong forum, this is for the Tegra3 One X, which is not sold by AT&T.
Which means you've probably installed an incompatible recovery image, but then, since you can't unlock at htcdev... Who knows what you've done.
Anyway, go visit the forum for your phone and they'll help sort you out.

[Q] 4.1.1 file transferring on mac

So i updated my One X through the OTA 4.1.1, now everything changes and stuff. Now I can't mount my hox as a disk driver, it forces me to download the htc sync manager, but it doesn't work either...
It doesn't recognize my device, it says no device.
Please help guys, i need this. Is it because i'm using a mac and that the manager has just been released recently so it still has bugs?
thanks in advance

to use usb you need to go in recovery and mount usb, if you're not rooted, well, that's the only method... HTC ha removed the USB storage from JB

lol, sorry im really new to this android thing. How do i go into recovery mode?
and plus, if i choose to use sync manager, why doesn't it recognize my device? Is it because i don't the mtp drivers?
thanks in advance

I haven't got the JB OTA, but I usually use Solid Explorer's File Transfer mode to copy files to/from my device over wifi. I don't see why it shouldn't work on JB too, so you can give it a try - download the app from the Play Store and use your favourite mac ftp client (mine is Cyberduck). Good luck!

if you don't know what recovery is then you didn't root the device so don't do that... however the Macs don't have MTP mode, it is a Windows only feature

Wait, so are you saying HTC has made the internal storage like it is on the GNex (one big partition for apps + data +user storage that can't be accessed through USB storage mode)? But could they have removed USB file transfer support without reformatting everything?

[Q] No disk drive access possible on pc in JB?

I updated to official JB and now on connecting to pc via usb it doesn't show the same notification window as ICS.
There is no option as Charge Only or Disk Drive..
Is this normal, how to allow disk drive access in this case.

You can automatically access the phone storage on both sides (pc and from phone) at the same time. AKA mtp usb storage.

Even i have the same problem. Even if we are able to access the sd card from both sides, the sd card isnt being shown on the pc. I installed htc sync manager, but that just shows your media files, not your other data. Please help out fast!

Ums made place for mtp. You can mount your sd card in recovery

Some taiwanese pioneers report that it requires something from windows media player 11 too. Make sure you have these two software installed.
Alternatively, you can use newer windows to obtain simplify this problem.

I know about that.. When u connect the cell HTC Sync Manager Setup requires WMP 11 or above. I already hav 11.
Need some thing else, i have tried everything, I dont understand how can a Driver file b missing when i have run HTC Driver Installer and have downloaded the HSM setup file from HTC.com straight that too twice..
Initially the setup showed some other files missing like MS VC Redist 2005 etc, so i got them one after one then it stopped at this error...
All I wanted was to enjoy my JB but it a nightmare nw..

Remove all htc drivers.
Install the latest one from htc.
Reboot your computer
Connect the phone and let the drivers get installed.
I hope it works.

How can i remove all htc drivers, i know the device manager approach. But read sumwhere that these drivers are some times stored in system and same reverts when u connect the device..?

They have done away with usb mass storage in JB and gone to MTP storage. A decent work around is to mount with CWM recovery or TWRP recovery
Also this has been discussed before mate

[Q] How do I return back to stock?

[HTC Desire 816 LTE A5_UL S-ON]
Yeah, I know, there's lots of info on this subject, but I seem to have tried everything and a little desperate right now.
So here's the story. I made a rocky mistake installing Cyanogenmod on my 816. It's working fine and all, but I decided I want Sense back. My SD card got a little broken, so the recovery image that was on there is gone. So I started reading. The first problem was that HTC Sync Manager was not recognizing my device, apparently it only does when the phone is running Sense on it, so I can't use the hard reset from there. Also HBOOT's factory reset just returns me back to clean Cyanogenmod.
I've tried getting S-OFF to install 816 RUU from the forums here, but I've had no luck since the tools (firewater, rumrunner) are failing on me.
Is there any hope for me?

Best thing you can do is clear all internal storage space and download an Nandroid Backup. Since the clockworkmod backup is on the root of the phone you'll need to make a folder with the same name and manually transfer each file from the Nandroid on internal storage to the root of the phone where the ClockworkMod backup folder is located since this phone only has 8GB and any ROM automatically reserves 4GB. Even stock. Reason being to transfer each file one by one is because using a file manager such as ES file explorer; you'll notice it says it has 3.xxGB free when the backup is 1.9xGB. Using Cut and paste won't work either since the device copies before deleting it from the current location e.g. Internal Storage. I had the exact same problem and this worked for me. Let me know if you want a more detailed explanation.

[Q] Unable to connect to PC properly after rooting

Hello,
I have had my HTC One M8 for a while now but I wasn't really happy with the soundquality while playing through my headphones, so I looked for ways to improve it. I found a few methods and finally decided to give it a try. These methods require a root so yesterday I have rooted my phone for the first time. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems now.
The rooting process went without too much trouble. I used hasoon2000's toolkit and have TWRP version 2.7.0.2 installed as recovery and used it to install the provided SuperSU, which didn't work at first. On the forums I found a newer version and installed that one, updated it and got it to work.
Now this is where I think I messed up: I read somewhere that when rooted, you are able to delete pre-installed apps from the phone. I downloaded SD maid and deleted Kid Mode, Zoe and 7digital. When I deleted Kid Mode I got an error saying it has crashed. I tapped away the error but from this point I couldn't go back to my homescreen anymore because my launcher kept crashing (com.htc.launcher crashed). I rebooted the phone and the launcher worked again, but the phone still seemed to be buggy.
After this I tried to install the snapdragon audio+ (this was my first choice for an equalizer). I downloaded the apk and moved it to the system folder using ES file manager. I installed but when I tried to use it (through settings in google play music app) my phone would crash. I uninstalled it and tried again, but when I tried to move the apk to the system map like before, my phone would crash everytime. I then found out the file I used doesn't work for lollipop so I figured that's what caused the crashes.
My next move was to try and install viper4android. I downloaded it from the Play Store and opened it. It told me it needed an installation of BusyBox so I downloaded that too. But when I opened the BusyBox app and clicked install my phone would crash again. After some searching I found that the HTC One M8 requires BusyBox to be flashed manually so I downloaded the file but when I tried to load it onto my phone I noticed this wasn't possible anymore.
Now when I connect my phone to my PC the PC recognizes it, but when I open the map in Windows Explorer it only shows three maps; .showme, _nero_sync and Ringtones. I know there should be more as they were there before. It also shows my phone's capacity as a total of 10GB (shouldn't this be 16GB?). Also when I try to connect it with Sync Manager it gives me an error everytime I reconnect the phone; Device unavailable. Please reconnect your device [4].
I have tried to reset the phone through settings, wipe with TWRP and fix permissions with TWRP. I also tried reinstalling Sync Manager and the drivers on my PC. What I'm thinking now is I maybe have done something wrong in the ES file explorer that would make the folders unaccessible.
My phone is running stock android 5.0.1 and my PC Windows 7 64-bit.
I hope someone can help me, Thanks.
P.S: Sorry for the long post, I figured I'd give as much info as possible.

@Steef076 First update recovery to the latest one (2.8.6.0)
Second if you go and delete vital or integrated parts of the stock rom you will get a lot of bugs. Third, viper4android requires to write system and you can't write system with the stock kernel, you need an unsecured kernel or unsecure it yourself.
10GB is right since 6 is eaten by android. At this point I would just revert to a backup or install any custom rom around here. Most are close to stock and with no bloatware and come with root. You can even clean them further using a tool called ROM Cleaner. It will most likely solve all your problems

Did the deleted system apps reappear after reboot, or do they remain "uninstalled"? If the system is write protected like TempestZ states, any deleted system apps should reappear after a reboot.
Revert your nandroid to restore the system apps. And you didn't make a nandroid, you really should before making any system modifications for the very reason that it allows you to revert if you run into problems.
Another good practice, is if you don't know what effect deleting a system app will have (such as "safe to delete" lists that can sometimes be found on XDA) you should first freeze the app with Titanium Backup. If freezing doesn't cause any issues, then go ahead and delete. If you do have issues, just unfreeze the app.

No, Windows will never show 16 GB. It only shows "internal storage" partition, or the user accessible portion of the storage. A good chunk is reserved for the OS.
Does what is shown in Windows differ from what is shown in ES if you browse to internal storage?

Thanks for the replies. @TempestZ @redpoint73
First of all I managed to update twrp to 2.8.6.0 using adb/fastboot.
To answer your question @redpoint73 the system apps I had deleted indeed reappeared after reboot. Also I didn't make a nandroid before I deleted the files, as I did not even know this was possible. Now I have made a nandroid of my stock ROM that is working decently, except for the TV app keeps crashing (I'm not opening it) and the connection to the PC is not working properly (not sure if this is ROM based?). I have noticed when the phone is in recovery I CAN see the folders through windows explorer. HTC sync manager still doesn't find it though. I am working on finding a proper stock ROM or maybe flash a custom one to see if that will fix it.
I understand now that the OS is taking up the storage space. The space windows is showing is the same as ES file manager so I guess this is fine.

HTC Sync is a hot mess. It often causes more troubles than it solves.
One thing you can try (to see if it fixes the USB connectivity) is uninstall HTC Sync and all HTC drivers. Than connect the phone. Don't let it install HTC Sync. Go to Windows Device Manager, find the device. Then pick the option to manually select the drivers, and pick the generic "Android MTP device" (or something to that effect) drivers.
This doesn't work for everyone. But it worked for me to be able to "see" the internal storage of my M8 on my home PC (Win 7). Annoyingly, it seems to vary from one PC to another. My work laptop (also Win 7) works fine with HTC Sync.

Steef076 said:
So if I understand correctly, 'version-main' is the same as 'firmware' and 'software number' (found in settings)? If so, my current firmware seems to be 4.19.114.2.
Now, what you're saying is I should do an OTA but this isn't possible because I have a custom recovery right?
Also, when I want to flash stock rom and stock recovery or do a nand don't I need the files that fit my cidnum? How would your file work for me?

If yours already on 4.19.114.2 then no need to do OTA as that the latest.
and my backup will bring back your device back to stock as you first bought it when restore with a full wipe.
Try to solve your problem first, only when you really need the backup then only I will upload ... let me know

Hello, sorry for the late reply.
I have decided to give a custom ROM a try. I now have ARHD 41.0 installed and it seems this took care of my problems. All the maps are showing in windows explorer and HTC sync manager is connecting properly with my phone again. Also no more crashing apps. Your backup would still be of much use for me as I am not sure I want to stick with a custom ROM and therefore would like to have a stock ROM backup.
Thanks in advance.
