Hi,

Best Regards
Gerd

i will test it later - hope it works....
Need help on this - mount feature...
- after i press the mount button inside the twrp, there are no other buttons or
windows, only the button unmount sdcard.

When u hit mount USB it should pop up a window on your computer to access the sdcard. If it doesn't automatically pop up go to my computer and click on the removable drive, from there you can copy over files.

Any recommendations on how I can recover my Prime?
I was stupid and forgot to back anything up before trying to flash Energy Custom Rom.
Now I find myself in a situation similar to Brick 3 of OP, but not exactly...
Right now, I can only access Recovery (TWRP v2.1.3) and cannot access fastboot, adb or ROM
Is there a way to get the Rom or Recovery install files onto my prime? Is there a way out of this situation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
me..

I am trying to root my new Nexus 4 and I am stumped. I am trying to follow efrant's instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
I successfully completed part D and now am trying to work through part E. I am stuck at step 3 of E: I downloaded SuperSU v 0.98 (is that really the one to get?) and I'm supposed to put that in /sdcard. Where is /sdcard? There is no SD Card in a Nexus 4. Is this a hidden folder somewhere? Do I have to make it? How can I see that folder? I am using a Mac and the Android File Transfer program window shows no sdcard folder anywhere.
Also: Why does another unlock guide talk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018179) about pressing "Build Number" seven times? Why doesn't efrant's guide mention this?
I don't follow this part at all. How do I put that damn file where it needs to be?
Just download the N4 toolkit. Will do everything you want.

When you plug the phone into the computer /sdcard is the folder that comes up. Just place it in there.

DO NOT USE TOOLKITS. Especially if you're new to modding.
That's like saying, I want to overclockmy computer. Just give me a toolkit where I can one click and overclock my computer.

Do it the proper way and download ADB drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942 (enable USB debugging)
set up ADB environment
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
unlock bootloader on phone
download clockwork recovery or TWRP (i suggest TWRP)
put the .img file of recovery into your /platform-tools/
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-file>.img
then boot into recovery and there you can flash your ROM, gapps, kernel.
In the long run, IT WILL PAY OFF because eventually YOU will be faced with a problem with your phone and you won't be able to recover your phone because you dont know basic fastboot or adb commands all simply because you wanted to use a toolkit. People are already asking on how to use adb / fastboot in Q&A, we can reduce the clutter by not having people use toolkits and actually learning how adb / fastboot works when it isn't a very complicated thing to do at all
As stated in my original post, I am using a Mac. Not a PC. Therefore I don't use ADB, nor any other drivers. I also do not see, as stated before, any sdcard folder. I don't, I repeat, don't see it.

On the Nexus 4, /sdcard is the same as /storage/emulated/0. As mentioned earlier in the thread, this is the default location for native USB file transfer.

Hello everyone, I recently purchased the Desire 816 for Virgin Mobile, and could not find anything on rooting this device.
So... I figured it out on my own! I decided to write out a tutorial since there isn't anything out there about rooting this phone!
I'm also including a nandroid backup of my stock rooted rom if you don't want to go through all of the steps. You will still need custom recovery.
1. Unlock your bootloader, install custom recovery, and flash superuser. I used v_superuser's guide for this, so thanks to him!
Use his guide to install custom recovery and root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801
The custom recovery he links to isn't made for the VM variant of this phone, but it works!
Now you can restore my clean install, rooted nandroid backup (link at end of post) if you don't want to do the following steps and still have full root.
2. Hopefully you were able to successfully install custom recovery and root.
Now this part is a bit tricky. Even with root HTC is stopping us from writing to system. For this we need to apply the wp_mod.ko module.
Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707378
Copy this file to the root of your internal storage.
Now download Terminal Emulator from play store, run it and enter the following commands (you only need to do this once):
su
insmod /sdcard/wp_mod.ko
Once you do this go into your favorite root explorer and mount as R/W. Copy the wp_mod.ko file to /system/lib/modules
Now go to /system/etc and find install-recovery.sh. Open it with a text editor and add a new line at the end with the following:
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
Reboot! If all went well the wp_mod module will run at boot every time so you won't have to do it manually each time!
Congratulations, you now have a fully rooted Desire 816!
Download my nandroid backup here (place the contained folder into the CWM backup directory):
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B0bhyG2E55hXaWtpeGVQaEpOVzA&export=download
Hope this helped anyone wondering how to root the device!

I'm not trying to offend with my answer. Just going for the easiest solution first...
Did you unzip the backup nandroid onto your PC? I imagine he zipped the actual Nandroid folder as it would have a date and time as the name.
If you unzip VM_HTC_Desire_816_Rooted_NandroidBackup.zip you SHOULD see a folder with a date and time. That is the actual nandroid that you'd copy to your Clockwordmod backup folder.

The act of unlocking the phone clears out your data so you might notice that your flashlight and calculator apps are missing. For some reason HTC didn't make those 2 system apps.
If you'd like them back, here you go.

If you're having too much trouble and are about to give up you can always download Kontrary's Nandroid backup. I didn't use it but I did look through it and it looks like he already did the write protect mod in it.
Just unzip it on your PC and put the dated folder in your clockworkmod/backup folder. Boot into CWM recovery and restore from his nandroid.
Out of curiosity... Are you hitting enter after SU and before insmod???
Also...
The command insmod /sdcard/wp_mod.ko is only good if you have wp_mod.ko sitting on the root of the internal sd. If its on your micro sd card you'll obviously have to change the path after insmod or just move it to the internal sd..
thanks

Have you plugged it in while in Fastboot? Which OS are you running? I'm on Win 7 x64 and have it set to download drivers from Windows update, I didn't have any problems going that route.
Have you downloaded HTC Sync Manager? It has the drivers required for your PC to recognize your phone.

I installed your CWM Backup after I couldn't figure out your steps... but now there's an ANNOYING notification that says, "Smith disabled... Click here to open." I open it, and no matter what settings I choose, this notification keeps POPPING UP! Is this your doing, or a known issue with this "Mod." All I wanted to do was uninstall all the Google/VM Bloatware. Now going back to stock might be the only fix... ????
That Smith app is a problem for most recent HTC phones. It has nothing to do with the CWM backup. It happens with the M8 and our 816.
I just long press the notification, click App Info and force close. It's usually good until you reboot your phone.
Either HTC or Sprint is supposed to be looking for a fix but who knows.

I was able to stop this annoyance by simply going to Titanium Backup (root needed) and freezing the process.
I typed in Smith in the search bar of TB and it came back with this process/app called
"Smith 4.21-plat_4.4.2-KOT49H"
I believe it happens to come up when a specific "bloatware" app is unaccessible by the device when removed but I have not singled out which app is it so far.
I backed up the app first then froze it and it stopped the Smith popup error permanently even after reboots and power offs.
(You could possibly delete it but until the stock bloatware app that causes this pinpointed i wouldn't recommend it.)
Tested running everything is good no errors rebooted fine checked bootloader and recovery and both are fine as well.

Hi,
I was very tired today and when i was going to flash a new ROM..i did something wrong..
I wipe internal and sdcard..and now i only have twrp left.
My computer recognize the phone but i cant copy any roms over to it! I dont know why...
I trying to get in to fastboot so i can push a rom file over to the phone but i dont know how to do it..
PLZ HELP!
I don't know much about fastboot pushing files. But I would try putting the files on a micro SD card and putting that in your phone... That's what I would do if my computer couldn't push the files on

Dont have any sdcard now :/ Dont know what happend..i my computer regoznice the phone and it shows up but i cant copy any files. Im stuck in twrp. Cant do anything at all..and i dont know how to use fastbood and adb..
If you have twrp you are very likely to be able to recover. Buy or borrow a SD card, copy the rom (and bootstack if separate) to the SD card. Insert it into your phone and install from twrp.
I wouldn't touch recovery for now until you have a working system.
Don't panic and do something reckless. You will be fine.
ok this is much easier than you are making it.
1. Google "15 second ADB and fastboot" and install it. It will ask you if you want it to install system wide. Tell it YES. Let it install.
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484 download the appropriate files for your model Axon 7.
3. plug the phone into a reliable usb port on your pc, and on the phone in TWRP go to "advanced", and then "adb sideload". Swipe the bottom bar to start sideload.
4. on the pc go to the folder where you downloaded the files to in step 2. Hold your left shift key and right click in that folder. On the menu that pops up select "open command window here". A black window will pop up (the command window).
5. in that command window, type "adb sideload XXXXXXX" where XXXXXXX is the name of the boot stack file you downloaded in step 2. You will see TWRP flashing the boot stack. When it is done TWRP will end the sideload.
6. on the phone swipe the bottom bar to restart the sideload.
7. in that same command window as before type "adb sideload XXXXXXX" where XXXXXXX is the name of the system file you downloaded in step 2. You will again see TWRP flashing the system file. When it is done TWRP will again end the sideload.
8. Restart the phone. You will be back to stock and need to flash TWRP again but at least you will be up and running.

i succeeded to transer over a rom to my sd card now that i bought. But when i try to flash the rom, it says that unmount fail, error and something with f2s. And then it stands unmount error :/ Do i need something?
It is solved I did this -

Select “Cache” and then click “Repair or Change File System”
Select “Change File System”
Choose “ext4”
Swipe to the right
Repeat the same steps for “Data” partition

Don't ask me how, but I somehow set pattern and forgot it in one hour. I use face rec. as well but after reboot I need to unlock with pattern.
For last 10h I tried all methods how to unlock phone, but no success.
I'm using original, ROM, my G6 model is H870, running Pie, unlocked bootloader, so I can use TWRP. I spent most of my time and knowledge to unlock phone with adb/twrp. Best option I found is to delete gesture.key file which is located under /data/system.
Problem is, that /data is encrypted ...
Is there anyone who managed to remove pattern/lock without loosing data?
Thank you for your time!

In method 6 I'm stucked on
"Run pull settings.db.cmd inside By-pass security Hacks folder to pull out the setting file out of your phone." step.
I get "insuff. privileges" error.

Have you tried this?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008
Basically, the files you have to delete in the /data/system folder in TWRP are:
password.key
pattern.key
locksettings.db
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal
It happened to me a while ago and I didn't have any '.key' files either; I just deleted the rest and when I booted up, I had no lock screen security PIN nor registered fingerprints but could re-set them again through security settings. I didn't need to flash any files nor fiddle around with adb commands, and all my data remained untouched...
If you can't find all those five files or the '.key' files, just delete the ones you can find and it should work. Otherwise, you'll probably have to do a full reset and reinstall...

Sounds like your data folder is not mounted when you boot to TWRP... Have you checked? Reboot to TWRP, select the Mount option; data should be ticked by default. It it isn't, select it, go back to TWRP file manager, and see if you can now browse folders and files...

nobody managed to get to (encrypted) /data on Pie.

Last comment on that thread says the solution also works on Havoc Os 2.9, which is based on Pie... Maybe that person wasn't encrypted to begin with, but, if it doesn't work for you, I guess then the only way to go is a full reset... Good luck!

Yep, I saw that post ... I relly don't have any more ideas. Should be inside "mount modul" in TWRP /data listed?
I only have System, Cache and SD ... and i can check System only if i check bottom "mount system partition read-only" option.
But that's nothing to do with /data.

Data option should show. At least it does on mine... You can maybe try updating Twrp version?
I'm on last TWRP.... Meantime I already made full reset ....
If you have encrypted data partition, you're pretty much banned from messing with it, unless you manage to exploit your way through the adb, which requires you to have it enabled and in trust relation with your PC to begin with.
The way I'd go around this is to place an "always yes su" binary and perform pattern removal process through init.d or similar solution. In case if su commands are restricted, kernel with permissive SELinux needs to be flashed.
On a side note, isn't this Q&A?
I also had a problem with data folder not being mounted when booting to TWRP. I tried a full reset and immediately i have access to the Data folder (but theres nothing left inside so this is kinda useless). Then later when i did a reboot into the TWRP it happened again, couldnt access to anything even when the "mount Data" option is ticked, only until i did the full reset again that it could finally work.
It turned out the problem is with the TWRP itself, i flashed another custom recovery (OrangeFox-R10-Stable-h870, which is btw a better recovery than TWRP in my opinion) and the problem never occurred again.
So either try out that new Recovery or a different version of TWRP and see if it solves the problem. And always, ALWAYS, make a full backup of all your data before messing with anything (i had to learn that the hard way so trust me).
Do this,
- you should know that I am using "orange fox recovery" not "twrp",and stock "pie"
- reboot to recovery and go to system/data
- delete this files:
gatekeeper.password.key
gatekeeper.pattern.key
locksettings.db
-reboot the phone and that's it.
