Hi, First off, I'm so damn new I don't even qualify yet to be called "Noob". I bought an HTC Nexus One on eBay and it was loaded with 2.3.4. But I could not get it to update. I then took a look at the build # "3.11.405.2CL81940" with "release keys" added in a line below. Google came up with two or three hits, all starting with "Weird Build....", so I decided to get rid of it by rooting the phone. Over three days of fooling around with it and I am asking for help: after doing ALL KINDS OF THINGS (can't even remember the sequence), I'm stuck with a phone which when powered on no longer goes to the "X" splash screen but to "htc" with small yield signs with exclamation points in the four corners of the screen. The only way to power it down is to remove the battery. If I connect it to my Windows PC, it is recognized (I've downloaded the drivers, SDK Manager and AVD Manager) and I can perform certain functions using the command line within the SDK. But I can't format and start all over with a "stock" release let alone Jelly Bean which was my goal when starting all this. Additional information I can provide: when I remove the phone from the USB, the Black "htc" screen disappears and a white screen replaces it with the following: Line 1) BlackRose-Made by LeCache dl95244; line 2) STOCK 145/95/196; line 3) NEXUS ONE PV(or U)T S-off; line 4) HBOOT 7.3.5.5017 (PB9910000); line 4) TOUCHPANEL SYNT0103; line 5) RADIO-5.12.00.00; line 6) Apr 21 2012, 04:53:16; line 7) RUU. Line one, "BlackRose...", is black with white characters. Lines 2-6 are green characters on a white background (resembling the old boot screen) and finally, line 7, the "RUU" characters are white in an orange background, as though it's highlighted, asking for something. As said above, no buttons work (Track ball, Vol up/Vol down), and this is where the battery has to be pulled to power it down. Can anyone help?? I'll do my best to reply with any specifics that I DO remember, but I've done so many, many things in the past three days I've lost track. Thanks.

When you plus your phone into PC does it make a noise as if the phone is recognized? When you first get to the screen with the black rose text does some words flash then disappear?
And really no buttons work at all?

Let me describe it from the start. After insuring the device is fully charged I power it off the only way I can, pulling the battery, waiting 5 seconds, then reassembling the battery and back.
I get out the USB cord and insert it into the Windows PC. Then, (either powered on BEFORE insertion of the Micro USB or AFTER), when the device is powered on it goes to a new splash screen with "htc" in white on a gray/black background with caution signs at each corner of the screen. The device will stay that way for hours, plugged into a PC or powered on without tethering. THE ONLY WAY to access the white screen (which resembles the old boot screen without skateboards) is to unplug the device from the USB/PC WHILE POWERED ON.
When you do this, you have the "BlackRose" in white on a black line, then the rest as described, with "RUU" in orange.
There is one additional detail I do remember doing: I downloaded and installed "HTC One (M7//T-Mobile/AT&T/Sprint) AIO Kit by Hasoon2000v2.1 and Flashed CWM (GSM Only) Recovery. That was the last time the screen was at all responsive: lot's of lines rolling upward and then the words, I think, "Update failed".
Hasoon2000, I believe, is a member of this Forum and lives in Orland Park, IL, a suburb frustratingly close to me, in Chicago!!

Short answer, yes: Device Manager recognizes it and I hear a "cer-chunk" when its plugged in.

Was following your guide in post 2, yes. It accepted the first two commands but the third, "fastboot reboot bootloader" caused the terminal window to only scroll my options. I don't know what you call that but I think it means it did not work.

Here I must repeat, I am not even Newbie or Noob- I am less than Noob!! What is 4ext, TWRP?? I will download them and do as you say but give detailed instructions for I am only an infant!! (when it comes to this, at least!)
---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR GETTING ME THIS FAR!!
It is greatly appreciated.
I will leave for awhile now, but thank you again.

Those are recoveries, personally 4ext tends to be the best for all phones I've used it in but for some reason I have had issues with this on my n1, the only recovery that has never given me an issue on the n1 is amonra so that's what I use, feel free to use what you like.
That screen you were stuck in earlier is RUU mode which is meant to be used flashing official HTC RUUs, I don't think you will have an serious issues, just follow directions posted earlier
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then scroll to recovery option in bootloader to go into whatever recovery you chose and the flash a compatible ROM at this point

But the n1 is still showing the gray/black splash with htc and the caution/yield signs at the corner. The line: "Erase successful, but not automatically formatting. Can't determine partition type." when erasing user data and formatting cache, is this something to be looked into?
I've flashed, I believe, successfully, AmonRa before but when I try to flash a 'Stock' passion image, it fails.
I'll continue reading your most helpful guides and hope for a step-by-step reply- I feel as though I am very close to solving this!
Again, many thanks!

Update
Sorry to report I've not made any progress since my last post despite the Guides provided.
A couple important points:
a) I cannot enter to cmd prompt level, fir whatever reason
b) This leave me with Fastboot and when the device is again wiped and prepared, Fastboot is entered, and I type Fastboot update update.zip with the following results attempting different "Stock Passion Images":

Also, USB debugging is OFF complicating thins a lot, preventing me from getting a token from HTC's site!!

Bootloader should be unlocked being you have black rose, try different RUUs

You may also try to change your cid to 11111111 this will allow you to flash any version

Questions:
How would I change cid ?
I've been searching the universe for RUU's and came up with one:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe . That's it. in your link I see a number of Factory Images. Which would you suggest?

1) well, a "fastboot getvar all", tells you (and us) a lot of information about your phone, and an example is pretty much in almost every single thread in this forum, be it the Q&A section, the general section, etc.
so it's time to do a little reading and googling, shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
we are here to help and assist you, not to teach you about fastboot/adb etc. there are more guides/how-tos/tutorials/etc around than i care to count... sorry if that doesn't sound nice of me, but you are expected to do some research yourself
2) if you have an m7_u/ul model then that recovery won't work with a 4.4 ROM, that's why we need the above output.

okay download this: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407585867
extract those files into a separate folder... i like to keep things simple, so I use: C:\ADB
then open a command prompt in the folder you extracted the files, connect your phone, and in bootloader, when it says FASTBOOT USB,
in the command prompt type:
fastboot getvar all
then copy/paste that output here (excluding IMEI and s/n)

you see, that wasn't too hard :good:
okay, so you have an m7_u (PN0711000), so you are free to flash anything for M7_U and M7_UL (they are both compatible, only the LTE hardware is missing in your phone, but that doesn't affect the software)
so, if you want to flash 4.4 ROMs, you need to update your recovery:
get TWRP from:
2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul

First: Force reboot: press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.
(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)
Second, did you check MD5 on the downloads?
Third, if yes and they are OK, please reflash recovery and copy/paste your command prompt output

[Q] Bricked HTC One M7 after attempting to restore to stock using YouTube video guide

I am looking for some help in getting my HTC One M7 back up and working.
I used the online Cyanogenmod installer on my at&t HTC One M7 and it worked for the most part including where it contacts the HTC site to place the phone in developer mode.
Unfortunately the radio was far weaker and was losing it's signal all the time. I tried a few nightly's in hopes it was a bug that would be addressed but the issue with radio strength continued. Then an alert about an update from Cyanogen popped up and I trustingly clocked OK thinking that perhaps THIS would fix the radio stregth issue and I can keep my rooted ROM. Instead it broke Bluetooth entirely.
So I watched a YouTube video on restoring to stock. Apparently I can't post the link,
I got all the way to the part where I use fastboot to install the zip, HTCOne-32GB-ATT-5.12.502.2-TWRP-stock-unrooted.zip
It failed but not in the manner described in the video I believe it is due to the phone security set to S-ON but I have yet to find a way to set it back to S-OFF from where things are now.
This was the steps from the video I followed starting with fastboot getvar version-main and the fastboot oem lock
I then went through the following commands
C:\fastboot>fastboot erase cache
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.054s]
finished. total time: 0.054s
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem rebootRUU
...

OKAY [ 47.434s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 171.191s
And so it failed. The HTC screen came up but there was no progress bar so I know that fast boot is talking to the phone. I have been looking for a fix ever since and I am presently using a flip phone while working on getting the HTC One back.
Presently the phone boots directly into fastboot and will not allow me to do anything but reboot or power down but I can still use fastboot.
Revolutionary just sits at waiting for device.
The HTC One Toolkit is of no use as it also cannot see the device.
This is what is on the screen presently. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok
First thing .. edit your post above and remove the Serialno and IMEI
second the file you downloaded is my TWRP Backup and has to be restored using TWRP ...not flashed
it would be easier for you to use the Guru Reset I made
here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274
So unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then sideload the Guru Reset from within TWRP
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

I completed the unlocking but the Android Debug Bridge does not recognize the sideload command. It just spits back the help menu.

Perhaps my adb version is not correct. I did find reference to a push command in the help menu.
adb push <local> <remote> - copy file/dir to device
Also, there is that fastboot command I attempted to use before I unlocked the bootloader.
Also also, thanks for all the help.
edit: I didn't reboot into recovery. I did now but it is asking for a password

theirs no password on TWRP
To sideload
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

I appreciate all the help and I don't want to appear difficult but when I run the adb sideload Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA.zip with the rom in the same folder adb simply refuses to recognize the sideload command. It spits back the help menu and I can't find sideload in said menu.
edit: I am using adb push to place the rom on the phones /sdcard directory and I am gong to use TWRP to install while in recovery mode. The copy is taking a while so if this is going to brick my phone let me know.
edit 2: now I don;t think I want to do this. The online resource don't mention anything specifically about installing a ROM using this method.
edit 3: I tried using the HTC One Toolkit which comes with adb 1.0.31. It gave me the following error
adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...

your doing fine ..what was the error and why is sideload not in your version of TWRP ?
Is this the same resource that suggested flashing a TWRP recovery file with fastboot ? ... trust me you in good hands now ..just push the rom and flash it
during install choose no to install stock recovery and yes to Root the phone.
unless of coarse you want a stock unrooted phone

I didn't realize the thread went to page 2. I thought you just dropped off the tread.
Sideload is in TWRP but it does ask for a password. I loaded TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it doesn't ask for a password.
I am pushing the Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA.zip to /sdcard again. I will try the install once it is there.

I loaded TWRP 2.6.3.3 again and I have to hit cancel to get past the password. I then can go to ADB Sideload but it always says Failed at the top while the only thing in the terminal window is Updating partition details.
I loaded TWRP 2.7.1.1 and was able to load up ADB Sideload and attempt a sideload from HTC One Tools which uses adb 1.0.31. I still get a syntax error when trying to use sidelaod from the command line.
It got as far as 77% before failing with this error message
sending: 'sideload' 77%
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
I also keep getting unable to mount /data and unable to mount internal storage errors on the TWRP ADB Sideload terminal.
I need to quit for the night. It seems like I am getting closer to a solution though.
I'll use the backup flip phone and I'll just have to talk to people while out tonight I guess. Thanks for your help.

Yeah have a great night.
When you get back >>
Is you phone sdcard full ?
have you done factory reset and or format data partition in TWRP?
If it's too full to push / sideload a rom.
TWRP does have a file manager feature you may need to free up space using it. adb 1.0.31 is the version i use all the time... never an issue.
you would get mounting errors if the partitions were formatted or erased...it's ok the new rom recreates them

after pushing a file you still have to install it
adb sideload copy's the file and installs it. Push does not

[Q] Softbricked the M7, made it even worse afterwards. Do'nt know what to do

So, I've tried to get S-Off for a while, but my OS had to be the same as ROM version, so I did that. But here's where it went from bad to worse.. I flashed what I thought was a new ROM, but apparently there was no OS installed now.. It asked me if I wanted to unroot my phone in recovery, I unknowingly swiped yes.. So now I'm stuck here in fastboot without recovery and I can't flash a new recovery since I also did fastboot oem lock, and when I try to unlock bootloader all I get is "cannot open Unlock_code.bin" Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm quite familiar with rooting, I've had similar ROMs on my phone before. The phone is from december 2013. Anyone knows what I can do

not entirely necessary, sometimes helps, S-Off options (depending on your situation)
revone/moonshine -> rumrunner -> firewater -> sunshine (sunshine is by far the easiest and most reliable, but does cost $25)

cannot open / cannot load is usually MyFileNameIsWrong, or not in the same folder etc.

Sorry, I meant root yes..
The code name is right and it's in the right folder.. I've checked that multiple times even when trying to fastboot other files, recovery.img is able to read but not able to flash since I locked it..

The fact that dragging and dropping the file worked indicates that previously there was a problem with the files name or location. Check your using the correct fastboot/adb folder for both storing your files and running your commands.
You can't downgrade untill your s-off. Your hboot suggests your on 4.xx.531.x so you can't use that ruu.
If your phone is not booting you need to push a Rom and try to s-off first. The initial problem you had (with no os installed) was probably due to rom/recovery incompatibility.
Download Twrp 2.6.3.3 form here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 and flash it in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery".img
fastboot erase cache
Then boot to twrp recovery home screen and push your Rom
Code:
adb push "nameofrom".zip /sdcard
You can use the drag and drop method for these commands also (if you need) just remember to leave spaces in the appropriate places. The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. Once it's done install the Rom with twrp recovery.

You can't use those RUUs, those are for US T-Mobile (MID= PN0713000 + CID: T-MOB010), you have a German T-Mobile (MID= PN0710000 + CID: T-MOB101)
so you should currently be on 4.xx.111.x

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 and flash it in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery".img
fastboot erase cache
Then boot to twrp recovery home screen and push your Rom
Code:
adb push "nameofrom".zip /sdcard
You can use the drag and drop method for these commands also (if you need) just remember to leave spaces in the appropriate places. The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. Once it's done install the Rom with twrp recovery.

So you flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3 and fastboot erase cache which were successful?
But when you boot to Recovery it goes back to the bootloader, Is that correct?

Yes, that is correct. Don't really know what options are left at the moment

It's possible something has been flashed that maybe shouldn't have and made a mess of the partitions.
Try this :- Download this stock recovery
http://d-h.st/Eq1
And flash it with fastboot remember to fastboot erase cache, then try boot to Recovery. If it boots the screen will be blank for a short while, then display an image of a phone with red exclamation this is normal. Holding volume up and press the power button to reveal the stock recovery menu. Ignore the Mount sd card errors that's also normal in stock recovery. Now perform a factory reset and wipe cache.
Reboot the phone back to the bootloader and flash twrp 2.6.3.3 then fastboot erase cache. Hopefully now twrp will boot. :finger-crossed:
If it does go into the "Wipe" options and select " Format Data" you will be prompted to type yes to confirm. Then 're-push the Rom and install with TWRP.

Went from fastboot USB to bootloader, tried to enter recovery.. Nothing, straight into fastboot USB again.

sorry man I'm running out of ideas here. Only options left really is to flash firmware or an ruu. Unfortunately I can't find anything that will work for you with s-on.
What was the last recovery you had working on the phone?

[HELP] Unlock bootloader without OEM Unlock (Phone doesn't start)

¡ I need help please !
I have a HTC Desire 10 pro (From Aliexpress, yes warranty avoid), it was working fine (more than a year) until a few days ago. One morning I took it and it was off but the notification led was not on despite charging. I tried to turn it on and enter to recovery but it was not responding. I decided to open the phone to remove the battery and verify that it was not damaged. Mysteriously the battery was in good condition, and once I removed it and plugged it back in, the phone responded again when connecting the USB and the charger.
But there is a problem, when the system is going to boot, after showing the HTC logo, the phone turns off together with the notification led and returns to the state in which I found it at first.
I removed and placed the battery again so that it would respond again, but now I entered to recovery to make a reset, but the problem is that the recovery is very outdated, so it does not have the "wipe data" options.
It should be said that i can enter into a "recovery mode" that shows:
"

htc_a56dj_pro_dtwl PVT S-ON

"
Where the blue txt is the actual menu.
In this "recovery mode" I can't use ADB commands, i only can execute some fastboot commands (PC recognizes my device because of fastboot drivers) as "reboot", but for example:
* I can't use the "erase" command because my current recovery is not supported:
"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot erase userdata
erasing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: Partition userdata erase not supported)
finished. total time: 0.022s
"
* Nor I can directly install the TWRP recovery because it tells me:
"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 1596000000 bytes
sending 'recovery' (14320 KB)...

* And I can't use the "oem unlock" command either because it just says:
"
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

Finally "getvar all" command shows this (i think could be useful):

Well, this is the situation, and i think the solution is:
install the TWRP recovery to do a factory reset and if necessary install a ROM (official or not).
Buuut, to install the recovery I need to activate USB debugging (MANUALLY in the android options) and activate the OEM unlock option to unlock the bootloader, which is impossible for me since the phone "turns off" before starting.
My question is:
How to activate OEM unlock option without having to access to android settings? I mean, with commands in fastboot or in some software.
I have searched a LOT on the internet and I can't find anything about it, all the tutorials have the device fully functional, not like me that my device does not start.

Wow. With a little more time another user (HTC U11+) enters the queue of the mishaps! Any Luck anyone? HTCDev also seem to have given up with no option to login to their website.
