Accidentally erased operating system on HTC One M7 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i run an HTC One M7 that was originally from AT&T. I unlocked it and use it in my country. Few days ago i wanted to install the stock Android and try it. I did everything as was said - unlocked the bootloader, s-off, recovery etc. after a few hours of the stock Android experience i wanted to change it to ARHD. As i changed it a question popped out asking if i want to root my device. I answered "yes", not knowing what it means. My phone was bricked and stuck on the HTC welcome screen since yesterday. I tried a lot of differend ways of fixing it and still no results. I locked and unlocked the bootloader again, tried to install the official RUU, but it doesn't want to. I get MTP driver error when connecting to my computer.
I have "can't mount SD card" on my phone. I'm pretty desperate, but i want to fix this issue and get back my phone. This will be a lesson for me.

download this ruu and run it, its the same version you already have / had on your phone, if you bootloader is unlocked then you will need to re-lock it first.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...9_10-26-1718-01l_release_356565_signed_2-exe/
with regards to your drivers problem, see FAQ 2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2

Well I'm H3G__001 UK. H3G__402 is Italy right? Not that it makes a difference the software is all the same.
Unfortunately there is no ruu for H3G. What exactly happened with your phone it can hopefully be fixed without the need for an ruu.
Bad flash, wiped your os? Can you access bootloader or recovery?

Hi and sorry for the delayed reply, as I say there is no ruu for h3g, but it sounds as if you just need to push a compatible Rom to the phone, what is you current version of TWRP.
I do have some h3g stock nandroids, one for jb 4.3 and one for kk 4.4.2. I'll need to upload them for you and I can't do that until later this evening as I'm in work now. If you want to go s-off the jb 4.3 nandroid has worked for me everytime so would be worth a try. I'll upload it tonight and send you a link as soon as it's available.

Ok sorry I was very busy last night. I am on this for you now, I'll post link as soon as it's ready but my upload seed is very poor
I created this nandroid using TWRP 2.6.3.3 but it should restore fine using other versions of TWRP.
Do you have adb working when in recovery mode? You will need it to push the nandroid to the device.

Hello, can leave this version of TWRP: "twrp-2.7.1.0a-m7", that i've or you can suggest another version?
System not Mount, i've tryed to push in fastbootRUU but fail anythinghs i want push.
I've tryed putting phone in Recovery mode and i can see from "device manager" that have "adb android" or similar then if open can see "My Htc", if i put in normal mode, (is w/o Boot.img), i can see MTP that install/uninstall and phone how "Cd Unit external", (cannot open).
Not warry where upload it, important not use Mega.co becouse in Italy is Blocked, any other site is ok.
Please can send to me also Command for Push this Nandroid 4.3 in Recovery mode?, (i've also one dongle + sw but for Flash anythinghs requiere fastboot RUU mode), anyway i'm looking forward this Nandroid Bkp and how push in phone hooping that i can fix the phone

@vanito backup done with TWRP 2.6.3.3 is compatible with 2.7.1.0
He is asking you about ADB and using command line of your PC to push the files. Do you know how to do it? Do you have SDK installed on your PC?

twrp 2.7.1.0 should work fine :good:
adb will only work in recovery mode. Put phone in recovery and connect usb. Then in the adb/fastboot command line type
Code:
adb devices
You should see an output of your phone's serial no. If you did it's working. You can test adb push with a Rom if you have one. Rename the Rom file to "rom.zip" and put it in your adb/fastboot folder. Then in the command line type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The push will take several minutes the command window will be unresponsive until it's done. When it's finished the push you should be able to Install the Rom using TWRP.
P.S. The stock nandroid is uploading to dropbox. This is ok for use in Italy?

@vanito you have got a real little guide for Windows by @Danny201281
In the case that you are a Linux user, it works just slightly different: in such case check my little thread about running fastboot & ADB in Ubuntu. It is posted in the Nexus 7 section but ADB works for Samsung just the same way.

@Danny201281, ok i have this twrp 2.7.1.0 also and can install replace the other one i've installed:good:
Yes i've installed adb&fastboot in C: (principal directory), i use Win7 32 bit and can use also win Xp in the 2 pcs i've adb&fastboot installed.:good:
Yes, i know a little about use of these adb or fastboot, specific command for this case i can copy from this you good guide:good:
I've tested pushing "guru reset..." from fastboot yesterday but have get one Error 24, not have tested pushing via Adb command, but now i see you command above and can test this.
Sorry, i not know which Rom can push and if you can advise me about wich push is big help, (if you can post only link to Rom) for me, if possible any Rom for to make S-Off after that i fix this phone.
Yes, Dropbox i can use here if you give me access for download the Nandroid Bkp 4.3.
Last question, if push of Rom goes all ok, after i open phone in recovery and find this Rom in Sd Card, right?...then from "Install>Sd Card>Rom" swipe and will be installed right?
Ok, after i install this Rom always from recovery can install you nondroid bkp 4.3, ok?, :good:
I'm ready if can send to me link for this Rom and Link of dropbox i want try to ceck anythinghs.

[Q] Custom Rom/Recovery w/o tampered message?

Hello.
I just got my One, upgraded from the One X
I am very skilled regarding rooting, flashing custom roms, recoveries, etc. I just have a quick question.
Is it possible to install custom rom, custom recovery and turn the phone S-OFF - WITHOUT getting the tampered message?
- If no, tell me that
- If yes, read on
Second case: Does this RRU match my M7?
First of all, what have i done myself:
- Unlocked bootloader
- Installed TWRP
- Made a nandroid backup
- Relocked bootloader because i want to flash [ROM] Android Revolution HD 3.2 Google Edition | High Quality & Performance | Android 4.3 Jelly Bean | 2.14.1700.15
- Flashed latest firmware for my phone - 2.24.401.1 (the thread above states that its not needed but recommended)
- Got the TAMPERED message and wants to get rid of that (and return from HBOOT 1.54 to original HBOOT 1.44)
In order to get rid of that message, this guide state i must use "method 2", and as part of that method 2, i must find the correct RRU.
The following is the output of getvar all before firmware update:

Will this RRU be for my phone: RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
- I found it here: http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=M7
I chose it as its the RRU for the M7 Europe model that gets closest to my original main version (1.29.401.16 vs 1.28.401.7), also the radio in that RRU is just a tad older than my own original radio.
Also, is it possible to downgrade like that (im quite certain it is, just want to be sure).

Wait, you was in 1.44 hboot and now you're on 1.54?
If yes, you can't get the s-off.
The tools for the S-OFF are working only in 1.44 hboot, and, i if read right, now you have the 1.54 and you can do nothing...
****, you are kidding me, right? And RUU downgrade is not an option? That will downgrade my RUU too.
Aside from S-OFF being down the toilet, are there any other downsides to Hboot 1.54?

No, you can flash all rom, kernel, mod, theme that you want.
For the S-OFF, no, devs said that they will work on the tool for the S-OFF when the new update form htc will come with the 1.55 hboot

Okay, thanks
Now that i booted the phone, my storage is not available and wifi does not turn on (it says enabling, but thats all) - great start! Any idea why?
Ill look into it tomorrow my self, im off to bed now... Guess the One X will be in service for a few more days...
EDIT: Im on a firmware thats NOT for the android version i have, i think thats the problem. I guess ill have to sideload the custom rom running 4.3, and get it running that way.
Freaking hell, no S-OFF!
You relocked your bootloader after the flash of the rom?
If yes, you have to unlock this, reflash the rom and the kernel, and do a wipe of cache and dalvik-cache...

Flash the stock recovery and then do a factory reset in bootloader, this will fix your sd.
After flash a custom recovery and try to use the sideload

Hello.
I flashed the stock recovery, and factory reset the phone. It rebooted during factory reset (of course), and booted normally afterwards. Wifi and storage did however still not work.. From within android im told that the storage is "Unavailable" (ill post screenshots later) - and from TWRP, i am told that i have "Internal storage" of 28xxx mb available (not sure about the excact size, around 28 gb) - but i cannot mount it and make it available from windows.
I can see the phone in windows, as a HTC media unit, and browse the content (storage -> legacy -> more folders -> root of SD card with folders like "downloaded" etc - default folders). But when i get there i cannot create folders or files, i can only view the content.....?
1. I cannot downgrade with RRU, since im S-ON
2. My Wifi and storage SEEMS broke (i suspect its because i flashed the firmware mentioned earlier, and my android version is not happy with that firmware - someone with more insight are welcome to comment on my guessing here)
3. Sideloading the rom i want to use (based on android 4.3) seems to be the only option - but can i sideload when my SD is not available in recovery?
Starting to worry a bit here
And thank you for all your help so far :good: I didnt get to say that last evening.. Appriciate!
Kind Regards
Hello sir,
first of all, let me say you screwed up already when not researching XDA before doing an update. Since i have done so myself numerous times, let me advise you to make it a habit, when buying a new phone to specifically research downsides of updates before accepting any.
Particularly in the HTC world, it has become a common thing to only gain S-OFF while the phone is in early software states and loose this ability towards later releases. Until now, many HTC phones i have had to deal with, had issues with disabling security on later firmwares.
Then, the storage problem you describe could possibly be related to something i have seen a fair few times. What Guich told you to do is usually the ultimate trick to get it back working. But let me ask this first: were you able to access storage from windows normally before the update? Or could you also face a driver issue?
OK. Guich's comment did not help. You flashed the stock recovery from the firmware you run. Then you ran Factory Reset from within Bootloader? Or from within android? If the latter, try the first...
I will be putting up stock recoveries from different RUU's soon on my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726 but you also find them on the forum already by searching. Try different stock recoveries and factory reset from Bootloader.
Then, if that doesn't help, try to run the OTA 2.24 (which already runs on your phone!) again by booting into bootloader, then picking "Fastboot" there (use volume down and up to navigate and power to confirm) and then going to your adb/fastboot with a command window. Oh, connect phone to PC of course
Lets say you have adb and fastboot plus the dll files in C:\Android. Open a CMD window and do "CD C:\Android" to go there.
there, run "fastboot oem rebootRUU" (type exactly as i do here, omit the quotes though).
then, copy and paste the OTA file (obtain HERE) to the same folder (C:\Android).
For easier typing in CMD, rename the OTA to something short and simple like test.zip or whatever.
then go back to your CMD Window and type in "fastboot flash zip test.zip"
Since its the same hboot and firmware in the OTA like you have on phone and since this package is official and signed, your phone ---should--- accept the flash. If not (maybe because you got the wrong model ID or wrong CID) i wouldn't really know how to proceed. But you DID accept that OTA before so it MUST be for your phone or else it wouldn't have flashed in the first place.
If it flashes fine, boot your phone up and check if it fixed everything.
If not, run the check for software update in Settings/Info/ and see if there is already an official OTA for your phone available that brings you past the 2.24. If not, download one of the inofficial OTA's and --- hope --- that you can flash it. Like 3.18 or 3.22. The first is for Asia/Taiwan though and will almost certainly NOT flash on your phone and the second is BrightstarUS and for the DEV edition and will also almost certainly not flash. But its worth a try.
beyond that, i have no more valuable tips. Only thing I would try is to flash CWM and do a clear storage, wipe data, wipe everything there. But be sure to have your nandroid ready if you do that. CWM uses a slightly different formatting method so it could possibly correct issues. In the past, i have read about screwed up SDcards related to CWM formatting more often than those that got screwed up by TWRP though. So its not exactly ideal to play with CWM on a phone that has already issues with its partition. But if i was desperate, i would do it anyway.
If that doesnt help or make it worse, do the very same thing on TWRP, pick the "wipe Data" option which prompts you to type "yes" into an input line. This will once again format your SD with a different method. It could possible correct this problem.
DO NOT attempt to screw around with the SD Partition using tools like MiniTool or EASUS if you can access the sd from them at all!
The SD Card is an EXT4 file system and cannot be formatted with FAT or NTFS from windows. If you do that, the phone wont work at all anymore. The exact parameters to format the partition externally are not known to me and i doubt you can address the partition from within windows at all. Maybe it works under linux...
Sorry. Cant be much help here. If that all doesnt work, just flash stock recovery back and restore your stock nandroid and send it in for repair. Them service dudes will have the right RUU and fix it for you.
[EDIT]
Oh and before i forget: if you can fix it with these tips, you owe me one
You have to flash Team Venom's ViperOne then instead of ARHD! :laugh:
Aroma installer is running now!! So excited to see the result! I sideloaded the zip, via adb sideload Nice short article on it here: http://teamw.in/ADBSideload
Will return with outcome :highfive::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Its back! Running custom rom with sd card avail and wifi working! Pew, saved by adb sideload, increddible!

[Q] No OS, no nothing

Oke guys,
I probally did one of the most stupid things. Got my One transformed tot a GPE 4.3 version works smooth. Yesterday an OTA update to 4.4 really messed up my day. Try to install everything gone....No i am not able to install any version at al.
Got the last version of TWRP installed. got myself an unlocked bootloader even an 4.3 GPE rom. But TWRP keeps giving me the message "Error flashing zip: 'sdcard/<M7_UL_JB443_STOCK_UI.
can someone help me solve this problem..
For 4.3 Roms you need twrp 2.6.3.0 and not 2.6.3.3.
Flash it and let us know

Thans for you answer. I now got another one. "Unable to mount /data
unable to mount internal storage
I'm also not able to mount then by the menu.
Why do you need to mount internal storage?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
After installing the right twrp version. i use ADB to push the image.zip to my phone. Then i use twrp install and browse to my sdcard where the image.zip is transferred to. when i click it it gives that error. By the way he also starts with error flashing zip.
Comlete error is:
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/M7_UL_JB43..
updating partition details
e:unable to mount /data
e: unable to mount internal storage
i fear for my device...
Please anyone who can help me?
what about to boot to Bootloader, connect to some tools like Hasoon2000 Toolkits (cannot post links yet, sorry) and format everything you got, than flash the recovery again and push the rom via adb
make sure you download rom without any downloader
do not worry, i bricked my one the same day i got it and took me two nights to make it work again it needs lot of trying and searching but eventually you fix it
Thanks for your reply, i flashed everything a couple times. I guess is have the right rom. i do worry cause i tried so many things. Thinking about sending in my phone to HTC today..

what exactly are you trying to flash, link please.
i tried so many things is don't know exaclty the links. I tried different custom recovery. CWM and TWRP. Since i don't have an OS any more i tried to install de M7xxx.zip
Is the error still unable to mount sdcard? If so, follow post # 3 in my Canadian stock link.. You may need to use a recovery closer to your HBOOT version.

[Q] Soft-Bricked HTC One - Want to go 100% stock again.

Solved thanks to @alray
Ok so the other day I tried going to Android 4.4 Google edition with a rom but s-off never worked. Without noticing s-on I tried installing the rom which soft bricked the phone (Starts up goes past HTC logo and flashes google logo then the screen goes blue).
I made the obvious mistake of not making a back up so I'm stuck. I have access to Bootloader & Recovery. I've tried installing RUU files but the ones I've tried so far get stuck at 7% 'Checking Header'. I'm just looking to get back to a working phone... Any help is appreciated.
If I'm missing any info you need let me know, I'm new to this...
Thanks.
More info:
I'm in Ireland, Europe.
The phone works with different sim cards (So I assume it must be unlocked).

the ruu failed because you need s-off to use them with hboot 1.55 (require hboot downgrade to 1.44 which require s-off)
so now your best option is tu install a guru reset. Use this file
boot your phone into your custom recovery and push the file I linked above to your sd card. then install the .zip file with your custom recovery and follow instruction from the graphical user interface (aroma installer)

This may sound silly but, do you know if I need to buy the 'On the go usb cable' like in his video? I dont think I do since he was running a 1.29.xxx (doesnt support touch screen) but I'll be running a 3.62.401.1 (he doesnt specify if I need one or not...) Just want to make sure before doing anything.

Move the .zip file to your fastboot/adb folder. boot your phone in recovery. then:
Code:
adb push name_of_file.zip /sdcard/
then in recovery select ''install'' and slect the zip you pushed
no need to use otg cable

if your using custom roms you need to RUU back to stock then take the update

Thanks for the pointer.
So these are the steps i need to do:
1. Download 'recovery 2.24.401.8.img'
2. Rename 'recovery 2.24.401.8.img' to 'recovery.img'
3. Place 'recovery.img' in my adb/fastboot folder (C:\Adb)
4. Open Command Prompt and navigate to your adb folder
5. Type 'adb reboot bootloader' to get into fastboot on the HTC ONE
6. And then flash the recovery img by typing 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
Is the above all correct?
Yep that's it

OK thanks, it doesnt matter than i have S-ON then?
After i type, 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
its says, 'waiting for device' and just sits there, any ideas why this happens?
probably drivers.
check device manager and make sure you have a proper driver loaded
fastboot devices should show your device.
If your on windows 8/8.1 it has trouble with fastboot on older hboot versions. ADB works fine but fastboot doesn't work. I think newer hboot's resolve this so it will work after the update.
Might need to just use a win7 pc or VM to flash stock recovery.

Ah yeah i am on Windows 8.1. I'll have to use my laptop then. What drivers do i need to be downloading?
Also can 4.4.2 be rooted yet?
I use the universal naked driver pack and usually just choose google nexus bootloader interface for the driver.
Sure, you root it the same as anything else: unlock bootloader, flash cwm/twrp recovery, flash SuperSU.zip

Ok have managed to flash the stock recovery back to the phone, and have update to 4.4.2. But when i turned the phone back on i had to go through all the setup process and now all my contact and text messages and apps have gone!!. I though i wasnt going to lose all my data?
Your bootloader was already unlocked? or was it locked and you just unlocked it? When you perform a bootloader unlock it does wipe the data as a "safety measure".

It should of already been unlocked, as it was rooted and had TWRP install previously
So theres no way for me to get this stuff back then, pictures, messages, contacts etc?
Um, there's some missing information here.
Short answer, if you in fact "unlocked" the phone recently, you wiped all personal data and there is absolutely no way to go back.
There are other ways data can get erased however.
As you pointed out, the phone was likely unlocked previously. Not sure how it would have become relocked forcing you to unlock again, which you don't seem to remember doing anyway.
Also you didn't originally say you lost your pictures. Did you or didn't you? Losing texts and contacts is normal when flashing a ROM. There are backup apps for texts and most people keep their contacts in the cloud do you normally just resync and you're done.
But pictures is something else. Sounds like someone did a factory reset and/or formatted the entire /data partition in recovery.
Normally most recoveries know that when you "format" data, you are really just selectively erasing everything in /data *except* /data/media. You don't usually do an actual format. The stock recovery does not make this distinction, and even custom recoveries often have an advanced features that lets you truly format all of /data. So you might have nuked your pictures in recovery somehow, no unlocking necessary.
You need to go into more detail.
But if you are saying your pictures are gone, they're probably totally gone.
One last possibility, the version-main you posted suggests you may have been using android 4.2 originally.
But I suppose it's possible the original ROM you were using was actually 4.1. Maybe your stuff was at the top level of /data/media and never got moved to /data/media/0
This surprised quite a few people during the transition from Android 4.1 to 4.2
So *if* you didn't unlock *and* didn't totally format everything *and* your old ROM was 4.1, well.. get a file browser and have a look around. Maybe you got lucky.

Well before i flashed the recovery image bootloader had 'Tampered' and 'unlocked' listed at the top of the sceeen, just like it does now so im not really sure what happened. But as soon as i flashed the 'recovery 2.24.401.8.img' back onto my phone and then downloaded the 4.4.2 system update and installed it, when the phone restarted again it was like it was back to factory default in that i had to go through the whole setup screens!, so not sure whats happened.
But on closer inspection even though i have downloaded and installed system update 4.4.2, if i go in settings>about>Software information> it says im on Android version 4.3 and software number 3.62.401.1, isnt this wrong as ive updated to 4.4.2???
You have two separate issues here. You lost your data and you're not running 4.4.2
Apparently you're not worried about your data.
To get 4.4.2 you either need to a) get to a place that is so "stock" that OTA's will take you the rest of the way or b) manually flash a 4.4.2 ROM. The b) option usually requires S-OFF and a suitably recent recovery compatible with KitKat.
If you are already S-OFF of course b) is way simpler. But you're not. In fact you have HBOOT 1.56 which can make S-OFF less certain. If you can get S-OFF that's the way I would go. I personally never screw around chasing OTA's.
You may be in an awkward place right now.
Time for someone with more patience than me to get involved I guess.

No please don't get me wrong I am certainly worried about my lost data, especially the pictures, but from what you said I there's no real way to recover them, is that correct or is there a way at all?
Probably gone, but I would still use adb shell or a file explorer app to look in
/data/media
Your most recent personal data (the stuff you made in the last day or two, not the lost files you are looking for) will be in
/data/media/0
You're checking to see if there is useful stuff *outside* the " 0 " folder.
Don't delete anything unfamiliar (for instance if you see clockworkmod, leave that alone -it's nandroid backups). Just look for orphaned folders full of personal stuff like "DCIM" or " Music" or whatever.

Sadly there is nothing in /data/media there are 3 folder, 0, legacy. obb and a file .htc_layout_version none hold any of my old photos . I have even tried the program, Wondershare Dr.Fone and that doesnt find any of my old photos either...so i guess there lost for ever, bugger.
I guess i need to get this phone back to stock and then try the update and see if it takes this time?, so ill need to remove the root, TWRP recovery and SuperSU?

[Q] M7 softbrick (or not?) - help needed!

Hi guys!
I've been trying to get my dear One M7 alive now for 4-5 evenings. Really thought it was bricked for good, but finally made some progress. Here's what happened:
S-OFF, rooted since always but on stock/OTA from HTC. Been updating through OTAs just flashing back stock recovery before update and then switching back. I've been using CWM. I was already on the Lollipop 5.0.2 with Sense 6.0 (sofware revision 7.19.401.2) but received another minor OTA couple of weeks ago. Didn't make note of the new revision, nor the reason for the update but just followed my usual steps. Everything seemed to go as usual, but once booting back up after the update the phone got stock on the boot animation (the htc one w/beats audio just after the sound).
Immediately tried a restore from a backup I have, but continued in the same situation. Tried several/different wipes (even the data partition in the end), but no luck. Tried the best I could to search for info, but all I could find was what I'd already done. Tried to download some RUU's but the files seems corrupted and I cannot get it working. I tried to switch to TWRP, taking a new backup (of my restored, but still not working CWM-backup). Same situation. Then I tried to flash a Cyanogenmod version, and was close to giving up when it didn't work as well. Luckily I tried a couple of times more (perhaps after throwing the phone in the wall a few times) and just out of nowhere it suddenly booted and seems to be working normally. Full of hope I tried a restore again, but back to boot animation. Tried to download a clean stock install file I found on XDA with the same version as mine, but just get stuck again. Once I restore the Cyanogenmod backup, it boots perfectly.
Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but I've been doing these things for many years know (starting with the Desire @ nikez), and this just seems odd. I could seriously need some help to get it back working again as I like the stock Sense 6.0 with Lollipop.
For info some details (btw; I verified it against the data I noted just after my original Lollipop OTA early this year, and it is still identical, so i don't see any vitals have changed):

hello sir,
I have htc one m7 sprint manufactured in new zealand.The problem started when I by mistake deleted all the partitions like delvin cache,system,internal

version 4.2 installed which i think has been deleted as it says when rebooting from the bootloader and it rebooted normally just stucks at hTC logo.
I have installed fastboot,adb(not working properly) by sdk tools on windows 7 32 bit pc and also htc sync manager and latest java.
I request you to reply me as soon as possible as i have just lost my all the patience doing all the methods suggested on the like fastboot,etc and
typing the commands.You are my last hope,please help me.

@alray - that freaking worked like a charm! Thanks a lot, a donation is on it's way, really thought my beloved phone was gone.
Installed the RUU version 7.19.401.22 as indicated, and that did the trick. I got an error message about HBOOT while flashing it, tried it twice since I saw it mentioned in several threads but the message continued. However, the phone booted normally afterwards so I couldn't care less right now
Code:
FAIL90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
For "hboot-preupdate" response, restart the same procedure for device XXXX.
Also tried desperately to restore the data partition from my cwm backup, but then the phone wouldn't boot again. Last resort now will be to manually restore some of the apps through Titanium from my cwm - but what the heck, lost data is better than lost phone.
Although a minor update, seems like HTC did some serious changes since a lot of the normal stuff doesn't work. Any idea of what??
Anyways, thanks again - really appreciated!

Hi @rakeshrinawa,
I should probably leave it to the pro's to help you out, but I would suggest the following (sure somebody will correct me if I'm on thin ice here):
- Boot into fastboot, open a command prompt and write "fastboot getvar all". Then you'll see the same variables that I posted above, amongst other the version of your software, your CID and some other information that might be useful for the guys helping.
- Look at the selection posted by @alray here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944 (either first or second post).
- You need to find the RUU that fits your phone (correct CID and version), and keep in mind the note in the top:
When you update you must go one step at a time. For example if you are on 6.xx.xxx.xx then you can flash 7.xx.xxx.xx . But if you are on 5.xx.xxx.xx then you cannot flash the 7.xx.xxx.xx you must first flash a 6..xx.xxx.xx.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- The trick is to find the right file, but I'm not the right guy to tell you which one. Once you have it, just follow the "How to flash" instructions step by step and hopefully you'll have an almost new phone again just like I had.
- I see your S-ON, so take note of the instructions saying you need to relock the bootloader (item 4 in How to flash). Or perhaps you could just as well S-OFF it ​
I am sure it's possible to solve your issue, keep on trying! Good luck!

Relock your bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and flash the old sprint ruu:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu_m7_wls_jb_50_sprint_1.29.651.10.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu_m7_wls_jb_50_sprint_1.29.651.10.zip
fastboot reboot
Then you should update your phone to latest version before unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery/rom (if you are planning to)
thanks for your reply dear
@alray
Actually this is the only info my bootloader is showing as I have formatted data in the factory reset option.The model no of the phone is PN072(SPRINT) and before this problem,ANdroid 4.2 was installed and now i have installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and again formatted data and now adb sideload is not working,kindly suggest me the correct softwares which can make my htc one m7 work and do my normal things and can u send me step by step list of softwares to be installed like twrp and adb on my pc as i have 32bit windows 7 on my pc.
Thanks a lot for your reply dear friend and you guys are just amazingly helpful.Keep it on.

I think i have the wrong version of twrp on my phone so adb sideload is not working and i just download your files and simply flash them and will they make my phone work even when i have performed format data and by factory reset in the bootloader?

Step you need to do posted above
RUU also posted above
you'll also need adb / fastboot either by downloading the android sdk (SDK Tools only) or minimal adb and fastboot
Save the ruu in the same folder you have installed minimal adb and fastboot or if installed the android sdk, make sure the ruu is in \Android SDK Tools\platform-tools.
Start a command prompt: Start menu --> program --> minimal adb and fastboot --> minimal adb and fastboot.exe or if using the sdk, go to \Android SDK Tools\platform-tools hold shift and right click in the folder and select "start a cmd prompt here".
Reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode (make sure "fastboot usb" is shown in red)
then type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will relock your bootloader, required to flash the ruu
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
once rebooted in ruu mode (black screnn with silver htc logo):
Code:
fastboot flash zip ruu_m7_wls_jb_50_sprint_1.29.651.10.zip
First flash will report "flush image again immediately, so do the same command again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip ruu_m7_wls_jb_50_sprint_1.29.651.10.zip
Wait for the ruu to flash then when you see sucessful message:
Code:
fastboot reboot

I have HTC ONE M7 sprint variant with model no.PN072 which supports both gsm and cdma and I Was not able to use wcdma or 3g mode when using Android version 4.2.
So keeping all these things,and spending 10 hours in downloaading your files,will they work on my htc and won't create future problems like in google updates etc?

Its says signature verify fail because you are trying to flash a rom (stock odexed) using fastboot, you must flash this rom using a custom recovery which will require to unlock the bootloader again so the simplest is to keep your bootloader relocked and flash the RUU

lol I think we have some communication issues here :laugh:. The RUU is in the same thread you linked me at post #10. All sprint RUU are listed at the beginning of that thread (in the first few lines of the OP), you need the 5.03.651.3 RUU, download it and lauch it (double click, its an .exe file). Make sure your phone is in bootloader when you launch the ruu.
