Could you check to see if it's possible to disable LTE? or did AT&T do something to prevent that as it does on every phone but the iPhone?

IIRC, you should just be able to `adb pull /system` to get the important bits. It's not a full dump, but I think you need root level access for that. And the only way I know how to get root access is to flash a zip through recovery, and TWRP/CWM hasn't yet been released for the First.

I couldn't disable LTE but I don't see why I would, the battery is awesome. Can't dump anything right now I'm out. Am I the only person with this phone already?

Well, considering that it doesn't come out until tomorrow, I'd be willing to say yes.

I was wondering why no one was posting anything about it. Lol

So in all seriousness, I have the First, I have the bootloader unlocked via htcdev.com, I'm rather familiar with adb and fastboot, and I would love to upload a system dump if someone can tell me what commands to run.
I'm trying `adb pull /system` right now, but it's getting "permission denied" on some files, so I don't know how useful that will be. I've also tried looking around online, but just about everything I find is assuming that you already have a custom recovery or a rooted system; nothing wants to tell me how to get myself to that state from scratch, and I'm very hesitant to just start flashing stuff at random without a proper image dump to fall back to.
Anyone have a good idea where to start?

Do you have a retail AT&T First? Can you confirm that retail AT&T First is unlockable via htcdev?

Yes, this is a retail model, and yes, the bootloader was unlocked via htcdev.com.

Humor me for a moment, if you will. Connect your device to your computer and run `adb root`. You should get a permission denied error of some sorts. I'm curious to see if Facebook is shipping with root enabled.

That's what I figured would happen! It looks like this may be an option to root the 4.1.2 build. It worked on the One S and the Nexus 7, which gives me hope.

No good, but thanks for providing the link. The only shot we have left is waiting for the RUU to be leaked so we can pull recovery out of it, and get a CWM/TWRP made from it.

What is RUU and how does that help us? Sorry, just coming from a Nexus-only world, so I'm not familiar with modern HTC/Samsung devices.
Sent from my HTC first using xda premium

RUU stands for ROM Update Utility and is a Windows executable file that can flash and restore a HTC device. There are ways to extract binaries from this file, and if there are no root exploits that will work on this phone, we will need to extract the original recovery.img from that RUU to build a custom recovery, in which at that point allows us to flash SuperUser.apk to get root.

RUUs for the HTC One were first available on March 26, just about a month after its announcement (and, oddly, a few weeks before it's general release). Since these have to be leaked by HTC, there's no telling when we will see those. Is there any chance another root exploit exists in stock Android 4.1.2 that we could exploit in order to get root?

[Q] Bricked my HTC ONE - please help will reward

All,
New to htc and flashing, and try doing at 3am didn't help either. hope someone can help. Will paypal $50 to anyone that can help. Thanks in advance.
Here's what i did
using One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5 for all my modding
got token
unlocked bootloaded
didn't flash any recovery
flash a new .img kernel, but i used a boot.img from a zip file (home2wake zip) - don't ask why, i wasn't thinking lol
phone rom was all black, keeps rebooting
i managed to flash recovery, recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7wls.img
then wanted to restore stock rom
so i downloaded, this rom, http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
flashed zip using recovery
went through the rom custom installation of what i wanted installed.
After that it rebooted and stuck on green htc screen
i can get back into boot loader, but can't load recovery, can't factory reset, any option i select, the screen flash and sends me back to bootloader
rom won't load, can't get into recover, computer not detecting phone
Please help!!!

Check out this maybe a RUU will help -

Why did you use one s kit, I'm confused
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

you can try to load ADB Fastboot on your PC, then connect your phone via usb, be sure to have all of the drivers.
in bootloader, if it reads FASTBOOT USB, then you can us
fastboot flash recovery (Name of recovery).img
once that is done you should be able to at least get back into recovery....
check the link for recovery file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236418

I am no expert, but my guess would be to go back to stock boot / recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236418
Relock your phone: fastboot oem lock
Install the RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
And in the future don't use an All-In-One-Kit meant for another phone (The One S in your case)
p.s. Another thread that may help get you back to square one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800

thanks all,
will try all the suggestions above tonight, will let you guys know how it goes. i used the all one s because it was gui and easy and lots of extra and functions. but i guess the extra made it worst.
Right now when i plug in my phone the computer doesn't detect anything, hopefully the adb can talk to it to flash a new recovery/rom/kernel.

It wasn't the extras that messed it up. It was the fact you were using an AIO that isn't for your device. That's a big no no.

i was using this, all of the recovery on there were for samsung s3/s4/and special edition. so i couldn't get to the recovery. Then i started tweaking around with the extras and flashed a boot.img to a kernel. failed

Android Revolution ROM is not for the sprint htc one. fyi

First you'll need this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
Extract to someplace you can find it, maybe the desktop
if you power the phone down then hold the vol - button does it boot into bootloader?
if so make sure you have the htc fastboot drivers installed from htc sync
if your on a windows machine from command prompt navigate to the platform-tools folder
for example
mine is in C:/users/ray/downloads/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools
in command prompt issue the command
fastboot oem lock
once the bootloader is re-locked
issue the command
fastboot oem rebootRUU
the phone should reboot into a black screen with greenish htc letters
find the setup.exe file from the ruu file and run it.
if all goes well you should be back to stock with a locked bootloader.
good luck

Awesome, unbricked it! Thank you wranglerray!!!!!!
Also thanks to everyone that replied, but it was wranglerray detailed step that helped me through it. awesome community.

Let this thread be a lesson that 1) don't mess with your phone if you don't know what you're doing and 2) don't flash a GSM ROM on your Sprint phone because it wipes your boot and recovery partition (on GSM phones, it wipes data and system but sprints partitions are different).

Failing after making a bunch of random attempts to do something doesn't constitute learning. Next time you should make sure you actually understand what it is that you are trying to do before you do it, and maybe then you won't end up almost completely wiping your phone clean.
You're lucky that the international One's and Sprint Ones partitions aren't like the Sprint/international S3, or else you would've overrided your bootloader as well and had a brick on your hands.

[Q] where to proceed next? - i F'd up!

all,
it was with reckless abandon and blind/naive decisions that got me to this point. i will just lay it all out what ive done in the hopes one of you brilliant minds will lead me into the light. before i lay out the steps in which ridiculous choices led me to this conundrum, here is the question...
Where do i go from here to resolve the issue that i have and can get into bootloader (tampered/unlocked and in S-ON) but i have no operating system?
keep in mind that Ive probably and admittedly should not have been dabbling in things i had no business doing with the little to no proper due diligence...."i am awarded no points and may god have mercy on my soul!!!!!!!!!!!!"
1) i used the htc dev process to unlock my bootloader and it worked well.
2) i then proceeded to flash some custom recovery .img files via "fastboot flash recovery <insert filename here" and the .img at the end of course.
recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.4-m7 <---didnt take the first time or anytime. kept saying "entering recovery" but then the screen would go black, not boot into the recovery screen and then the phone would reboot as it would normally and go into stock OS
i then tried the following .img files below, all with the same result...
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-m7
openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7
recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.2-m7ul <<<---this was the only recovery .img file that would take so i then decided to play around with the options.
3) i then proceeded to make another ridiculous choice. under one of the options in clockwork recovery "classic" menus i went forth and selected the "wipe data/factory reset" option.
so what i have now is i believe a htc one sprint phone that has bootloader unlocked with what i believe is no OS. i hear on my computer the sound when it connects via "fastboot usb" but obviously the computer doesn't recognize it so i can copy and paste a zip file onto it.
i was looking at a few threads here and could really use some guidance/encouragement. the threads are

what would be the best course of action for me to take? bear in mind that the end result would probably be obviously a working phone, probably stock or w/e seems best.

All you need to do is fastboot flash recovery a working recovery then check and see if adb works for you in recovery.
If it does then you can adb push a Rom to /sdcard and flash it in the recovery.

THANKS! i saw this thread earlier. ill take a look. ive at least watched wwjoshdew's video and i think that should work too. downloading the stuff now.

just tried wwjoshdew's directions. looks like i cant do the RUU 1.29xxxx. it goes through all the steps but at the end it says error because of the 1.31xxxx version i have already. i guess that means i have to wait until someone releases an RUU for 1.31.651.2
and if i am not sure if usb debugging mode ins enabled and i cant get back into normal bootup for the phone because i think i wiped my OS like stated in my first post. is my next step to do hansoon's AIO tool kit?

go to file manager in twrp and see if there is an 0 folder at the top if so delete it(make sure its empty first) then try a sideload
or use es file explorer and look at your files

Ok here goes, I unlocked my phone flash viper ROM I remember it like yesterday then the new ota update came out flash the ruu to back to stock everything was fine updated the phone unlocked the phone both on win8 and win 7 but I can't flash a custom recovery, any tips are great
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

Grab a copy of TWRP or CWM recoveries, links are available in original dev section. Put it in the same folder as ADB - which you used in the console/terminal/command line to unlock the phone. Fire up ADB in console, just as you did to unlock the phone, and type:
adb reboot-bootloader
Your phone should go to that white screen with colorful text. Next type:
fastboot flash recovery nameOfRecoveryImage.img
As long as you're unlocked, which you are, this should work flawlessly.

cant get phone to load
I tried to install the maximushd 12.1 on my sprint htc one. I tried to do it thru twrp recovery and now the phone only loads to boot loader. Any suggestions to get the phone back working. I was using viper rom at the time.

I'm going to assume maximushd is some rom for the international HTC One. I would highly recommend against flashing international roms for obvious reasons.
Either way, RUU the phone. If you're on the new firmware (1.31), you'll need to listen to this guy. Then download the 1.29 RUU from one of the dev sections, wherever the hell it is. Then everything will be back to how it was the day you bought it. Then, just do it all again but don't **** it up - ha.
edit: I just reread, you can't get to the recovery from the bootloader? If all you did was install an international rom, you should still be able to access recovery unless twrp has the ability to repartition, which I suppose it possible. I'll do some reading.
edit2: Others were able to fix the problem utilizing the method I outlined. One of them even links directly to the guide above. Should work alright.

I cannot get into recovery. It just keeps going in a vicious cycle. I can choose fastboot or recovery but noting happens.

Did you try to flash a new one with fastboot? fastboot will work in the bootloader.

Just a quick pro-tip for you... if you didn't find the ROM in this forum (because you didn't) then DON'T FLASH IT!
If you found it in the international forums (which you did.) DON'T FLASH IT
Next time do a search because about a hundred other people who aren't good at reading before flashing have done it too.

Grab a copy of TWRP or CWM recoveries, links are available in original dev section. Put it in the same folder as ADB - which you used in the console/terminal/command line to unlock the phone. Fire up ADB in console, just as you did to unlock the phone, and type:
adb reboot-bootloader
Your phone should go to that white screen with colorful text. Next type:
fastboot flash recovery nameOfRecoveryImage.img
As long as you're unlocked, which you are, this should work flawlessly.

[Q] HTC One Sprint M7WLS softbricked, don't know what else to do.

With the new 4.3 OTA I thought I might be good to delve into updating my phone today. That was around Noon, it's now 9PM, and I just don't know where else to turn. I know where I screwed up a few things and I feel like I've tried everything. Hopefully you guys will have some helpful suggestions, if not I guess I'll have to bite the bullet.
I'm a noob at rooting. I did root my HTC Evo Shift a year or two ago. Put CM 7.something on it, but I really wasn't happy with the performance so I just RUU'd back to stock and haven't messed with it since. I did leave it rooted for some root required apps though.
I rooted my HTC One a couple months ago using this method:
On gizmodo how-to-root-your-nexus-htc-one-or-samsung-galaxy-s4-990847878 (can't link it because I just signed up)
With 4.3 out I thought I would be able to find a modified update and keep my phone Stock rooted or try InsertCoin or something. My first mistake, I believe, was thinking that root was fine without S-Off.
I've got Drivers and Android SDK on my Win7 machine (I have a Mac and Fedora box if anyone knows any solutions using those OS's). I have on the phone TWRP 2.5.0.0, root, S-On. I try to upgrade to TWRP 2.6.0.0 and that doesn't work so well. I read somewhere that the M7WLS doesn't like that build, and I should try 2.6.0.1, I just strait to 2.6.3.0.
Read some articles on TWRP, watched some videos, so I go to do factory data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, and I do system wipe thinking I need to do that too. Whenever I reboot I basically stop at the HTC splash screen. Mistake number two, I have no OS now.
I hunt down a recovery.img from a site that is supposedly offical Sprint, flash it, try to do a factory restore, no good.
I try getting it back to stock with this:
How to Unroot / Unbrick the HTC One M7: Back to Stock by C4Etech
youtube.com C0G0hKY4P9Y
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <rom>.zip
I get errors whether locked or unlocked. I still have S-On and I'm guessing that's why I'm getting signature validation errors.
I try TWRP and ClockworkMod 6.0.4.3 to see if I can mount to my PC, no go.
Fastboot devices recognizes the M7WLS so after more reading I'm going to try ADB sideload. ADB devices does not see my phone. HT Sync is already installed, I remove it and try HTCDriver_4.2.0.001, no go. I remove it and try Universal_Naked_Driver_0.73, still nothing on adb devices. Whether TWRP or ClockworkMod Recovery I can't side seem to sideload.
I go to the store and pick up a cable:
Staples.com Belkin-4-Ports-USB-20-External-Flex-Hub product_IM1QZ5590 (Can't link)
Put
insertcoin-m7-4.0-4.zip AND
Guru_Reset_M7_Sprint_1.29.651.10.zip
on a USB stick, but the phone doesn't recognize it so I can load from either recovery.
I'm sure I've missed a few things in there. Right now I'm sunk, I'm tired, and suggestions are appreciated.

Try buy a USB to go and put a Rom on a Memory stick them using TWRecovery flash the Rom if you have any questions feel free to ask

Thanks for the input Demo. I actually connected it to OSX and the adb devices came right up so I was able to do a rom side load. Thanks again though.

your welcome
