Hi guys,
So I tried to restore to stock to send it in warranty to fix that darn camera tint issue.
I was on ARHD 31.6 (based on 4.3 and Sense 5.5 international. I managed to restore my CID and MID without issues, then I relocked and put S-ON.
Now I get boot loops avery 2 minutes after starting fine in my old rom backup and every rom I tried installs fine but after boot I get the screen and when I unlock it the screen gets stuck to a white screen with HTC logo on it (welcome screen?) which is weird since power button responds but nothing else works, it just stays in the white HTC logo screen and then reboots after 1-2 minutes or so.
On top of that I get TAMPERED in the boot loader which was not there before. I managed to unlock it again but I cannot get it to stay on as long as to get S-OFF with rumrunner to then modify MID\CID and run a RUU to restore it.
Anyone has any ideea how I can make this fonctional enough to be sent to HTC?
I think that my mistake was to enable back S-On. So does anyone has any idea on how to fix this? Have I managed to make myself a 600$ beautiful paperweight?

1- how stable is bootloader?
2- can you post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)
3- what recovery are you on (name and version number please, not "latest")
4- what ROM are you on
1- stable, works fine, no reboots there
2- fastboot getvar all:
(bootloader) version: 0.5

3- I am using TWRP 2.6.3.1 and I tried also 2.6.3.3 while I was testing KitKat roms which also had the same behavior as first post
4- I was using ARHD 31.6 when I decided to go back to stock and that is the backup I have (rooted with debug on) but that one does not have the white page with HTC logo after screen unlock but still reboots after around 2 minutes like the other roms.

I also do not have access to a RUU since I am with Bell in Canada and they are the worst of them all...
That would have simplified things I think...

why not try a Guru Reset: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-1-zip/
UNSELECT "stock recovery", if it's still randomly rebooting, we may need to check partitions for corruption (let's hope not)
flash it through the recovery you have like any custom rom, and hope it holds; report back and we'll take it from there...

maybe, in the Guru Reset, there is "stock radio", select it!! but unselect "stock recovery" you don't need that!
and then do a getvar again

First try it got stuck for like an hour at 0%. I restarted it and tried again but did not selected any baseband (or stock recovery) to see if selecting those was making the aroma installer to get stuck. It went all that way like that but it was also bootlooping and showing the white screen. Then I installed it again with selecting baseband and it worked fine and rom is functional again. No bootloops and not more stuck white screen.
I wonder when the radio got wiped. I used the ENGHboot trick to modify cid\mid then run that su echo command to put LOCKED back then fastboot writesecureflag 3 to put S-ON. Weird but I learned something more today I guess
Thank you @nkk71. You saved me a lot of headaches

:good::good: glad all good now
"First try it got stuck for like an hour at 0%" -> i've noticed that a few times myself when flashing stuff, but if i wipe cache and dalvik before (in recovery) before beginning the install, it goes smoothly. (but then again aroma has been known to freeze sometimes)
So if all is good now, could i kindly ask you to edit main thread title to include [SOLVED], thanks

To start off, I have had my htc one for about 4 months and around December my battery died and I charged it back up. I was then shown the boot loader screen which I never had seen before. Ever since then when I restart my phone it randomly goes to that screen sometimes so I just then did fast boot and booted into the android os. Yesterday my phone froze so I attempted to restart it and then I was stuck with the htc quietly brilliant screen. I have let the battery die like that and charged it back up but nothing happens. I tried to factory reset it in the boot loader but that does not work either. The boot loader currently shows this:
Tampered
Locked
S-ON
Keep in mind I have never tried to install custom roms or anything else I have left it purely at stock. I also got it straight from a T-mobile store. Help is appreciated.
-Thanks!

So if you got it straight from T-mo and never flashed stuff, why is the bootloader tampered?

ok, the bootloader tampered flag mean someone already unlocked it. If you are 100% sure you did not attempted to mod anything, this mean your phone wasn't new when you bought it and you should consider returning it back to store. The main problem is that they will probably deny the warranty because of this tampered flag. They will probably assume that you have tampered the phone.
You can also try to reset back to 100% stock with an ruu.exe. Be sure to use a windows 8.0, 7 or xp computer. not a windows 8.1. Connect the phone to your computer and boot it to bootloader mode then, lauch the ruu.exe.
This is the ruu you need
edit: note that it will completely wipe your data.
edit2: note that the ruu will not remove the tampered flag unless you want to go trough many other steps.

Ok I'll do that and see what happens. Thanks for the help!
@maxt95
If your phone still have issue after the ruu (freeze/reboot) then we can assist you to s-off, remove tempered flag etc etc... make the device looks like if it had never been tampered with and you'll be able to send it under warranty
if you screwed this yourself don't be shy to admit it. Much easier to assist when we know all the details.

You will need to have fastboot/adb tools installed on your computer ----> HERE
and you'll need latest HTC drivers installed. This can be done by installing HTC sync software you can find HERE
then reboot in bootloader mode, select fastboot, open minimal adb and fastboot and enter the cmd.
btw you still didn't described your issue ...

My issue is that my phone is stuck at the "HTC Quiently Brilliant" screen. I tried reboot, recovery and reset factory settings, I still get stuck at the htc screen.. Let me try what you've suggested.
And, by the way my bootloader says ****LOCKED*** (Pink Font) on top of the menu.. Not sure if that helps...

So it looks like your phone is completely stock and you never tampered it. Since you already did a factory reset, there is not much you can do... you should try to erase cache and see if the phone can boot properly:
reboot phone in bootloader/fastboot mode and type this command:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
if your phone still don't boot you should consider go back to a bell mobility store and ask for a repair/replacement if your phone is still under warranty. If not under waranty you can try the guide linked in my signature below (return stock for canadian user by SaHiLzZ). The guide require to flash a custom recovery which need an unlocked bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone and may void your warranty.

Hey, is there a way for me to recover all my pictures while its on the bootloader? I need to get those pictures copied. Please advise.

Hi everybody, I'm pretty much freaking out right now.
I tried to install SkyDragon 4.09.1700.1 but somewhere, the installation failed.
I wanted to do so because my previous rom started crashing more and more...
After trying MIUI and hating it immediately, I wanted to get a nice Google Edition ROM
Now whenever I boot, I can't get past the first boot screen with "HTC, quietly different" ( or something like that )
He only goes there when I hold the phone under a bright light. After that: blackness.
I tried to use to shortcut for booting with bootloader (POWER + VOLUME DOWN) and all I get is the light flashing on the buttons below...
I'm afraid I've got an incomplete or corrupt kernel and I have no clue how to fix this.
I also only have a mac OS X so please bear in mind that most software is not available for me...

Hold volume down and power button, keep holding the two, the lights on the bottom will blink 10 to 15 times, this will reset the phone, release the power button but continue to hold volume down, should come back on into bootloader.

once in the bootloader, plug your phone into the computer, it should say fastboot usb on the phone screen then.
open a command windows on your computer inside the folder where your fastboot and adb files are on your computer, not sure how you do this on a mac.
Then type fastboot getvar all and post the results here, but delete imei and serial number before submitting the post.

You must be S-off to use GPE Rom's

once in the bootloader, plug your phone into the computer, it should say fastboot usb on the phone screen then.
open a command windows on your computer inside the folder where your fastboot and adb files are on your computer, not sure how you do this on a mac.
Then type fastboot getvar all and post the results here, but delete imei and serial number before submitting the post.

well as you are on hboot 1.54, personally, I would flash twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery (most reliable) and then install a sense rom of your choice from the android development section, sorry but rom recommendations are not allowed, then once booted I would try and s-off my device using either firewater of rumrunner, if you get s-off then you can flash GPE successfully.

Thanks for the help, man.
Tried Android Revolution HD, booted but after HTC logo went to black and then directly to recovery mode...
Now flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery and trying again, here's hoping it'll work
Edit: it seems to be working just fine Thanks!

Your welcome.
Once S-OFF, Never go back to S-ON, EVER !!!, but this also means the security for your phone is switched off, so you do have to be extra careful of what you are flashing as its much more easy to brick your phone if you do something like flash the wrong HBOOT or firmware, just make sure you read and fully understand OP's instructions first.
You should get S-OFF easy on HBOOT 1.54, you may have to try a few different custom rom's to get there though, its HBOOT 1.56 and 1.57 that causes all the S-OFF problems
I have literally spent more than 24 hours traversing the depths of internet hell looking for a fix for my phone. So what happened was I was flashing a rom and when it asked what carrier I was on I foolishly picked sprint. After that it has been a hell of bootloops. I couldn't even get into recovery. It showed me the TWRP screen startup for half a second and then proceeded to bootloop. Eventually I got a version of clockwork mod to work ( I used a ton of cmd commands to get to this point) but I am still without real progress.I was able to sideload viper but in the middle of installation it stopped and bootlooped again. At least I have a recovery now. I would be really, really grateful for any help.
The rom I messed up with was insert coin btw
i picked sprint foolishly because the rom I flashed before that somehow erased my phone radio. I wish I knew better. Figured I'll just use twrp to fix whatever happens. That didnt go too well.
Can anyone tell me where to go from here? Also depending on what I do the recovery bootloops as well

If you have a GSM phone and you flashed a Sprint or Verizon ROM/Radio that is the reason for bootloops. You will need to run a RUU or nandroid to reset your phone. Please post a fastboot getvar all removing the imei and serialno.

I could not find a RUU or nandroid for your phone. If you made a nandroid prior to trying insert coin or the previous custom rom now would be the time to use it. I also could not find a firmware.zip for your phone. One other thought, you might try to flash insert coin but select a GSM phone like T-Mobile, International or AT&T. It might put things back into the correct order.
This is a long shot, but if you could get S-OFF via firewater then you could flash a different RUU by changing your CID & MID.

Is it possible to flash a twrp backup from my laptop to my device? I was able to wipe the device which stopped the bootloops. I can also flash any other recovery and have them work properly now. But where do I go from here? I can't. get firewater because apparently you need a working internet connection on the device itself.:crying:
Yes. You can adb push your twrp nandroid backup to the phone. You just need to figure out the exact path

Ok so after alot of trial and error and whatnot my phone is back and running great. I was able to flash an old twrp to my device so I would have an os again. Then I flashed android revolution which has been working well since wednesday morning. What a journey. I'm inspired to help others here now. Gonna lurk and see if what I learnt can help anyone. There is no RUU for my version btw. Lucky I had that recovery lying around.:victory:
Thanks for all the help guys
II see there are a lot of scenarious and ways to get your phone back to stock depending on the specific situation with your phone. well here's my phone. I'll be upgrading to an S5 here soon and plan on handing my phone down to my mom. I'd like to get it back to stock so when I bring to sprint there shouldn't be any issues getting it trasnfered over.
I am currently'
running the latest version of viper
It says S-ON on bootloader
HBOOT 1.57.0000
At the top it says tampered and unlocked
The recovery I am using is TWRP V2.8.1.0
Someone walk me through to this to get this thing to a point whre it looks like it has never been modified or send me to the appropriate guide. Thanks!

Check your drivers in Windows device manager with the phone plugged in booted up and also in the boot loader, this is something your going to need to get working in order to get back to stock.

When booted (into the OS) It shows a My Android Device in device manager, No errors of any kind. While on the bootloader it simply shows a "unknown device" in the USB tree. While in TWRP it shows the same thing as when booted into the OS.

You need to force the driver when in the boot loader then, just right click and select update driver, choose let me pick myself NOT let Windows search, it will fail, and from there go manual all the way till the driver is installed.
It should say myhtc in device e manager when booted and in recovery by the way, you can get the lastest drivers by downloading and installing HTC sync manager from HTC site, just be sure to uninstall HTC sync after the install from add remove programs, you should see HTC driver package just above it, leave that alone.

you can flash the same firmware that's on the phone now or higher
it has nothing to do with stock. If you want stock just flash a stock odex rom or find a nandroid of your carrier
i did had nandbackup of my rom .. am on s-on .. if i restore backup with twrp and change my recovery to stock and re lock my bootloader .. will my future updates will update my firmware to 7xxxxxxxxxx.. coz to update firmware rte now i need to be on s-off nd i cant s-off ..cant pay 25$
My mom is going to be the one using the phone. IS there any basically stock ROMS floating around out there? I just want to give the appearance when its booted up its stock. My only other concern is can the device be activated if its rooted and with a custom rom? Even the viper rom still maintains the auto activate feature it seems. I just want it to be stable for her so I don't have to constantly explains how to do things. As far as warranty goes she won't be maintain the equipment protection on the device so whatever happens to it is on her. I'm half tempted to see if there is something they might due about the cracked camera lense on it...I've had two htc ones so far and they haven't cost me anything to replace other htan the monthly insurance plan.
Hi, i have recently been trying to root my htc m7, but had problems along the way so tried to do a factory restore with TWRP, it got as far as updating all apps but then gave a message "unfortunately set up wizard has stopped working". and i cant get into any phone settings.
I can get into bootloader and TWRP ( phone is showing tampered and unlocked )
Could do with a little assist cos im quite a noob at this......thanx in advance for any comments

Reflash a rom or a ruu. Something on /system got corrupt, a factory reset won't fix anything on /system.
What was the problem with root exactly?

Are you sure your version-main is really 7.25.771.551?
You could flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU but since your phone is S-ON you'll have to change your version-main.
file at post #2 of this thread, instruction at post #1. version-main downgrade explained at the end of post #2 (how to downgrade with s-on)
Your other option is to flash any custom rom you'd like from twrp. Most roms are pre-rooted btw. ARHD is good one to start with, stable, looks like a stock rom but with many improvements. There are also some good Sense 7 roms like InsertCoin or NewSenSeven.

Thank you for info, where would i find the stock rom to match my version main, after all, I just wanted to try and "root" the phone in the first place.
If I got it back to original state then maybe i could start over again with proper guidance.
Sorry if I sound like a proper novice............. but i am...........thanks once again.

There is no rom that match your version-main, thats why I suggested that you either change your version-main using the downgrade guide so you can flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU (you'll be able to update back to your current version after) or to flash any custom rom you'd like.
Sorry I understand now, I'll have a shot at downgrading and see how it goes. Thanks for your time and advice.
