Hey guys,
I've done something rather stupid....
Basically I've ended up with no OS on my phone so it won't boot (obviously).
I can't flash any .zip roms because I can't access the internal storage (as it won't boot)
I have a 1.14... O2 RUU that won't install as my hboot version was updated to 1.35, so installing that RUU is not an option either.
I can't find any RUU's on the internet (thanks HTC) and adb 'sideloading' is not working because it does not recognise that the drivers are installed.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: If anyone has a recent RUU that I could use I would be very grateful!
update your twrp to the most recent OR use CWM 6 by myself, sideload takes a good couple of minutes to "turn on" so leave your phone in sideload connected to the pc for about 2-5minutes and it SHOULD see it. it's easier to sort it out this way now than trying to find an RUU. IF you can't get sideload to work AT ALL i have an ALPHA build of TWRP with which you can adb push rom's onto your "sdcard" with. let me know via pm
thanks

Hi all,
I've searched high and low for the answer to this before posting, so I apologize in advance if I simply couldn't find it.
In trying to flash a ROM I managed to seriously mess myself up by wiping literally everything off my phone- my nandroids, my ROM file, everything. I'm running CWM v6.0.2.7 and trying to use adb sideload <rom>, but I keep getting the error "failed to write data 'protocol' no status". I've searched for that specific error and haven't found much about it that was able to help me. I get this message using Hasoon's amazing toolkit or by doing the sideload manually via the command prompt.
Any ideas? My phone's a pretty brick right now, which is entirely my fault- I just hope someone can help me out of this mess I got myself into!
Thank you so much in advance!
[EDIT]
I resolved the issue by switching from CWM and moving to TWRP and tried the sideload a few more times. I would often get the message that my device wasn't connected, but with some patience I got it to work. Good luck to anyone else who encounters this issue!

I have done that through the recovery and left it on that screen, that is when the errors pop up.
I know i'm a little late, but just in case somebody else goes looking for help on this.
I was stuck and kept getting the same error. everything was up to date and i was in ADB Sideload. Turns out after I wiped everything I never rebooted my phone. I rebooted back into recovery and it gave me the option to install SuperSu and root my phone (although it was previously rooted). Once I did that I was able to go back into ADB sideload and all worked well! Hope this helps somebody out there.

But what if you have no rom on your phone ?

The sideload command is used WHEN you have no rom on your SDcard/phone. If you can boot into your phone (access home screen) you can just activate USB Debugging and connect to PC and just move files normally.
The Sideload protocol is used when you can't access your home screen (When you are in a bootloop) and all you can access is the Recovery. So you activate Sideload from the recovery and on your PC you use adb sideload "rom file" without the quotes and then the ROM installs directly from your computer storage.
There is also a feature in ADB called adb push, you literally push the file to your phone SDCard, its like you copy and paste a file. But since i never used it i don't know if you do it while in the bootloader or recovery or not. But I think you can.
I know this is quite some time later, but I was wiping my Nexus 7 to sell. Tried the TWRP Sideload feature and could sideload a ROM...great! So wiped the entire device clean and attempted sideload....failed! Wasn't a good feeling at all...so looked around and found this tidbit of info. Rebooted (to recovery), prompted for Root, accepted, and then sideload worked perfectly.
Of note, I couldn't sideload the gapps right afterwards, so had to reboot into Recovery again to re initiate Sideload, and got gapps installed too.
Thanks for the tip!

Glad it helped! I've been meaning to post an update, also. I've run into the issue where the newest version of TWRP doesn't re-root the device as mentioned initially. I've been using a beta version of TWRP needed for some of the newer Kit Kit roms and had to flash an older version of TWRP to get ADB Sideload working again.
Basically I would flash an older version of TWRP, re-boot (and it would ask to root the device) ADB Sideload an older rom, such as CM 10.1 or another Jellybean rom and from there you can boot up the system and make any changes needed.
Sadly I keep wiping my phone clean and running into these issues. Hopefully I've learned my lesson
Phone: ATT HTC One X +
Hi everyone,
This problem has been beat to death on this site but it's very hard to follow with other phones and trying to find the files and everything needed to fix it. This is my first time to try and root a phone so I tried to piece it together and screwed it up. Still trying to learn.
So far I successfully unlocked the bootloader through the HTCDEV site so I have SDK with fastboot and adb. I found OneXRoot but it just said "waiting for device". So, I found RootBoot-1.14.206.16-O2, ran it from the file I downloaded it to and not the fastboot/adb location (might have been the problem) and it said "waiting for device" so I unplugged my phone and plugged it back in. It was supposed to restart my phone 3 times and root my phone through magic but instead it restarted once and only goes to HTC white screen.
I've looked all through for a solution and the best thing I've come across was this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30863908 . I was going to try this but I don't know my CID and my phone doesn't boot to figure it out. Am I headed in the right direction?
My goal here was to root the phone to get rid of HTC Sense. I'm thinking I should flash the boot.img or do the kernal thing. Not sure though it's very confusing. Right now I need to get it to boot so I can try the root again (the correct way, whatever that might be). Any help would be very appreciated, my phone is a paper weight right now.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/131 downloaded the recovery image here and going to try that. It says the batter is too low now so i'm guessing it will work after the battery is recharged. That's direction I am taking atm.
Update: I've finally figured out how to get the TWRP recovery booted. Now working on trying to get my phone to boot up an OS of some sort. Very slowly but surely.

Press the power down button while turning on your device to see if you can get to boot loader - this will give you the basic information about your device.
Use the original RUU from the following post to flash your device in bootloader mode (I think it should work...):

OK it looks like the OS was wiped before it was backed up with a rom folder to use after rooting. Now I have no OS so I can't get to files to put on a ROM or do much of anything. It's not booting past the HTC screen because there is no OS now ^^. I have no idea what to do about that. Going to try to figure out how to put a new OS on there. Any help would be appreciated.

If your device is locked - you can get the current RUU of your specific device from the post I have mentioned.
BTW what is your hboot version?
If your device is unlocked - install TWRP using hasoon's toolkit and then use sideload to copy / install a custom ROM...

"use sideload to copy / install a custom ROM..." OK I don't know anything about this but it will point me in the right direction. I have the phone unlocked. The HBOOT version is 1.40.0000. I'll see if I can do what you suggested, thanks.
Update: Atempting an adb sideload using TWRP which seems to be the only option for me.
ADB Sideload
What is ADB sideload?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADB sideload is a new feature that was added to AOSP recovery in Jelly Bean. As of version 2.3, TWRP now supports ADB sideload mode. ADB sideload is a different ADB mode that you can use to push and install a zip using one command from your computer. Most likely ADB sideload won't be very useful for your average recovery user, but ADB sideload can be a huge time-saver for a ROM developer.
How do I use ADB sideload?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Have a recovery installed on your device that supports ADB sideload like TWRP 2.3 or higher
2.Have newer ADB binaries installed on your computer. If it's been a while since you installed ADB on your computer, you may need to get the latest ADB binaries in platform-tools from the Android SDK. You will need version 1.0.29 or higher. You can find your current version by typing "adb version" at the command line.
3.Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
4.From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page. It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device. As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed. When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.
Note that sideload mode is a separate ADB mode. While in sideload mode, regular ADB commands will not work. Once the zip has been copied to the device and the install starts (or if you hit the cancel button) regular ADB mode will resume.

I can't link on this board yet so I quoted the sideloading instructions for a .zip from the TWRP website. I have the latest version of SDK and when I try to sideload it gives me a list of commands in the command prompt. I looked through them and didn't see sideload as a command. What's the easiest way to sideload this zip so I can install it in TWRP to get my phone booted? I know you can do "adb install \path.apk) but I don't have an rom in .apk format, only zip.

Update: after trying the same thing 100 times it decided to send "sideload". command line was adb sideload name.zip. Installing Viper ROM for HOX+ atm. I'll see if it fixes all of my problems. Thanks for all of the help to this point. I'll type up a guide of what went wrong with my root and how we managed to get it fixed.
Update: Phone is booting to HTC white screen and then shutting off. Now trying to figure that one one out.
Update" Phone is booting to HTC white screen now and staying there. In TWRP under reboot is says "no os installed, do you still wish to reboot". Still digging in the forums to figure this one out and how to fix it. I installed the Viper ROM fine but when it asked to reboot now it just rebooted to HTC white screen. Missing something here? The phone is S-ON, does that make a difference in using the TWRP?
Is there an RUU exe file I can run from my computer? I relocked the phone but the links you gave me are for installing the ap through google play. Not sure how you do that with a phone that wont boot past htc screen.
Update: I've found an RUU application from these boards that is supposed to work for HOX+ so i'm downloading it. It really is taking forever to find the information I need along the way from this board but it's here....somewhere...I think...Will keep plugging away but feel free to throw me a bone ever once in a while! =)
Update: The version that worked for others isn't the same version I have. Going to dig again for 1.19.502.1 version.
Update: Found the version in the last place I thought it would be...HTC website...Downloading it and just hoping its and application I can run on my computer.
Problem Fixed:
Problem: While trying to root phone I didn't back it up. Unlock was successful but root was not. OS was lost and phone would not boot past HTC white screen.
Solution: Relocked phone using fastboot oem relock. Downloaded manual ROM installation of the same version and intalled it while phone plugged in.
Thanks for the help in pointing me in the right direction. Now to try and root it again to install viper. If it screws up I know how to get back :laugh:

I went with another Rom. Honestly I tried the toolkit and ity worried fine at first but later it wouldn't work for me. After doing this for two straight days I learned to do it the hard way. New Rom is great. trying to explore my new freedoms now. I really want to change my lock screen.

If you have installed TWRP - go to hasoon's thread, download the toolkit and use the function adb sideload to copy a rom your choice.
Flash the ROM using TWRP. Flash the kernel from hasoon's toolkit.

Hey guys,
I've been slackin' on the updates of my rom lately and thought it was finally time to do a proper update. I got my HTC one in the US around release and rooted it back then. However, now I was trying to install Android Revolution on it and the installation went fine (well, at least so I thought) up until the time I was going to boot it. It constantly keeps on re-booting me into the TWRP menu, even though the rom seems to be installed.
I was looking around and found out about ADP push http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325853
However, I get stuck on the step where I'm supposed to get up my Serial number in the terminal. It seems as if the command runs through but comes up with nothing, just a blank space. At first I simply ignored this and moved on to the next step. However, my computer doesn't seem to acknowledge the command ./adb push NameOfRom.zip /data/media/
Where do I go from here?
Thank you

I found this http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/332846-hi-i-have-htc-one-m7-its-stuck-twrp.html
Shouldn't have to go through the hassle of going through that process though? Seeing as there's a zip of the android revolution on the phone which is installable, but nevertheless doesn't boot. Please help a fella out?
Try to wipe all but SD card, flash rim like normal, then pull the recovery logs (found in advance settings) and post it here if it won't boot
Also know that many HTC phones when unlocked through htcdev, need you to flash the kernel through fastboot after flashing the ROM, if you're unsure if you need to do this boot to bootloader and note all it says on this screen and then check your device forum for specifics on this
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Also make sure you got the correct rom from the correct forum. There are multiple One forums now and it's not the first time it's happened..
PS. ./adb is only for Linux - is that what you are running?
And I know the stuff is on /data/media but try this:
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
This is just a mirror to my original thread on superSU
Make sure you have adb installed either via the sdk or adb minimal
Here is a guide for anyone running android wear 6.0.1 on rooting
(from PC)
1.Unlock the bootloader if not already unlocked
(Make sure to boot to system and set up device after unlocking bootloader otherwise broken kernel! )
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
2.flash THIS TWRP onto the watch MAKE SURE TO USE THIS ONE!(current official cannot mount squashfs system)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
3.Download special SuperSU here with busybox YDS included HERE and move it to watch with adb push to /sdcard while TWRP is booted and then install as normal zip
Code:
adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/
4.Boot watch to system (ignore TWRP message of no OS installed) Now your root apps from 5.1 should work perfect
REMEMBER squashfs is read only even with root so don't bother trying to modify system files like the build.prop
If you would like to change pixel density perform this command in either adb shell or a terminal emulator:
Code:
wm density <dpi>
Please leave thanks if it helped!
New Update!
updated to superSU 2.79
reverted to previous busybox due to incompatibility

I read in your other thread that you have your own version of TWRP? The 3.0.0.0 version I got from twrp.me doesn't seem to flash your supersu zip properly. Or at least I don't have a busybox app installed on my watch after flashing the zip.

Yes thanks for pointing that out, I have made it more obvious now.
Non-relatedid you notice xda updated this evening? notifications are broken now have to check things manually
I followed the instructions to a T and when I went to reboot in TWRP I have no OS installed what the **** happend?
EDIT: I saved myself when because I used the rootjunky tool to restore 5.1.1 then flahsed twrp on that and then flashed the update 6.0.1 zip from another thread on here. Hopefully I can figure this out. I'm good with android phone... first time messing with android wear.
EDIT: Second time is the charm I guess. Thanks for nobody screaming at me and calling me a nub!

EDIT: I saved myself when because I used the rootjunky tool to restore 5.1.1 then flahsed twrp on that and then flashed the update 6.0.1 zip from another thread on here. Hopefully I can figure this out. I'm good with android phone... first time messing with android wear.
EDIT: Second time is the charm I guess. Thanks for nobody screaming at me and calling me a nub!

Um probably should have told people but TWRP would say that but you should just ignore it cause your system is there

Yeahhh I figured that out after a while. My knowledge with rooting android wear is very limited at the moment. I've read as much as I could in one night lol. After figuring everything out with twrp/rooting I know have root and everything is going smoothly. Thanks for the tut!
okay, i used ur tutorial... fastboot flashed the twrp and pushed the supersu via adb to the sd... installed the zip via twrp... on leaving twrp it says "no os installed"... when i try to reboot the system it always just boots straight into twrp
/edit
okay! please add to your tutorial that you have to reboot and pair your watch first, after unlocking the bootloader! thx

What's confusing you? It's almost the same as rooting a phone flash twrp install supersu zip
Posters saying this is missing etc...im unsure whether posted tools etc are all there...rooted plenty of phones etc..just never a smartwatch..dont want to end up with a nice paperweight (I know its always a risk) seems some people have had a couple of issues Os missing etc..

OS missing is just fault of twrp not me besides it's meaningless error it simply cannot write to system so it assumes it those not exist. Everything you need is there apart from adb but just get adb minimal from XDA. With my method there is no risk of a paperweight it only touches recovery and kernel which both can be easily replaced. The only thing that can really kill a phone is a messed up bootloader update/mod. I have taken everything posters said into account and updated accordingly. Originally I just wrote what worked for me but now I updated it for universal use
Thanks for the reply & clarificartion.. you say 1.Unlock the bootloader if not already unlocked
(Make sure to set up device after unlocking bootloader otherwise no boot!) does that mean after unlock it will reboot into OS and you perform language setup & pairing ? or after its done the unlock it go's straight into os for setup ?

After unlocking go straight to OS and setup because rooting with an empty data partition breaks the kernel
Do you reboot or does just go straight in ?
