HTC one ....all of out sorts.

I feel like I have a unnique situation and am rather stressed about it. Causing me to not really be able to find answers on my own.
I have the M7 (international version gsm)
anyways like most or some I don't know...I want the latest and greatest rom. Thus being anything 4.4
I was coming from the latest Venom 4.3 rom
so I download the 4.4 rom (android revolution) I read that I needed the latest CWM ..so I checked to see if I had it ...and sure enough I did.
I flash the rom all seems fine but I get this weird..Do you want to fix root access or something after selecting reboot system in CWM so naturally I said yes. Away I went to what I thought was going to be booting into chocolately goodness...but no.
It just boot looped from the main boot HTC logo to it with booting recovery up top. When it boot into recovery it would show the little cwm gear and just go right back to the HTC logo (so not fully booting into recovery)
So I assumed I would still be able to get into fastboot. I was right, I can. so I pushed and flashed the latest TWRP however trying to boot into TWRP just warrants the same as CWM. I get the TeamWin logo and then right back to square one.
So then I decided I would just try to get it back to stock. Which according to the flashing guide on the rom page I was on meant I needed to relock my bootloader....So I did. with fastboot oem lock. And that is where I currently am. I can still fastboot. Just my bootloader is locked.
I just wanted to come here and post and look around for solutions before I tried and failed and messed up the phone even more.

fastboot erase cache
Should get you back into recovery.

Thank you. I think because I relocked the bootloader I lost twrp because after running that cmd I just get brought back to what I think is stock recovery (TAMPERED
RELOCKED FASTBOOT Menu) Where you can select fastboot reboot and reboot bootloader.

that's the fastboot menu, not recovery. stock recovery shows an error triangle.
Are you S-On or S-off ?
if you're s-on your best bet is to track down the RUU for your CID and then run it with your phone in fastboot mode. that will bring you back to stock.
fastboot getvar all
paste the results here (redact the imei and serial plz!)

I found this RUU but I have no clue how to install it using Fastboot. I am on Ubuntu because my other OS is 8.1 and it broke fastboot apparently.

Unlock bootloader, install recovery, erase cache, sideload a ROM and then install it.

Trying this now.

You can use my guide post #2, but start from a few steps down to tailor it to your needs or post in the thread..

Actually he really should run an RUU first. His mainver is WAY out of date! Too many people do just what you said and completely forget to pay attention to hboot versions and firmware versions.
I'm having a hard time finding a rogers RUU.
OP, here's a link to a stock nandroid that matches your mainver: http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1857-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-roger001-12963117/
unlock your bootloader. Flash recovery. then restore that nandroid.
afterwards, you can use revone to s-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
once your s-off. change your CID to super cid with fastboot oem writecid 11111111
you can run the 4.4 conversion RUU found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
That will get you a properly converted GPE 4.4 that will recieve OTA updates [as long as you don't screw with /system and don't install a custom recovery]

[Solved] Bricked my One?

Hello,
i'm reading here for some weeks and this forum helped me much so far. Now I made a bad mistake while flashing the latest firmware on my One and it seems that I have bricked it.
What have I done?
I used ARHD 5.1 GE on my One with an older firmware. Before that I was using ARHD 4.1. Data of my phone:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.55.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.21.3263.04
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 3.62.401.1
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0710000
(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4260mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: off
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-bb768ae1
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
I changed to SuperCID, before that I had VODAP102. Bootloader is relocked.
After flashing latest firmware, my sdcard got wiped. So I have no backups or any other data on my phone. The phone stops booting after the white screen with the "HTC" logo and shows a turquoise color with little stripes and nothing happens.
I tried to flash another firmware, as you can see in the phone's details. That worked, but changed nothing. I can't install a rom, because adb doesn't find my device, but fastboot does. I tried several HTC-drivers and cables and USB-slots. Nothing.
I read several How-To's but I got stuck with this. Even tried to install the 1.28.401.7 RUU, but that stops with Error 155. After first time that error occured I relocked my bootloader, but that didn't help. I can't push files to the phone, because adb doesn't work.
Now only one thing left: Asking you for help. I'm somewhat frustrated.

1- remove IMEI and s/n
2- install latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 (needed for 4.4 roms)
You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3- confirm adb working in TWRP now, and unlock using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914 or "revone -u"
(you don't need to relock if you're s-off)
4- push, sideload, or OTG a ROM and install
5- error 155 occurs due to hboot 1.55+, you'll need to downgrade to 1.44 to run RUU

no problem, IF you're gonna end up using RUU, you need to downgrade to this hboot: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/1-29-401-12_hboot_1-44-zip/
then go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip <- just in case the first one says "failed flush again"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and run the RUU, should work fine.

Thanks for that, but using RUU was only one way I thought of to get my phone working again, because adb push and sideload don't work. If the way you mentioned in your first post works, then I will be absolutely fine without using RUU. Otherwise I will try the RUU option.

It worked! Thanks for your help! :good:

follow my guide in my signature, there is a RUU.EXE available for CID: HTC__001 and MID: PN0710000 (so you can follow the RUU.EXE procedure)
in my opinion do NOT GO S-ON!!

[Q] No android, no recovery, only bootloader... :(

Dear XDA,
I wanted to update my HTC One to Revolution HD. But there where some requirements before i could install that. Like updating the firmware and installing TWRP recovery. I needed to RELOCK my phone in order to update my firmware. So i did that using a tutorial. After that i only had to push the RUU and i would be back @ stock. And then i could flash Revolution HD to get 4.4!
But!... it went horribly wrong. As of right now, i can only enter fastboot. I cannot enter recovery, and there is no Android installed, so basically i'm screwed.
I do have some flashing experience and I'm not a complete newb, but this is out of my league. Perhaps there are some nice persons here that could help me out. I will try to summarise my phone settings:
My current settings in Fastboot:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
May 3 2013,17:22:59:-1
CID: HTC_E11
MID: PN0710000
I have a nandroidback, but i can't get into recovery. I tried using ADB but my device is not recognised.... I get the feeling that S-ON needs to change to S-OFF. But if i use a toolkit (from Squabbi) i can't get my device S-OFF (device not recognised..).
As of right now, I'm sitting with my hands in my hair thinking i bricked my phone.
If someone could help me, you would save my day.

Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
or
adb push Rom.zip /data/media/0/

I will get s-off through the HTC One All in one toolkit. But on the ARHD topic, this was posted aswell:
You need:
HTC One unlocked with htcdev.com (S-ON) or S-OFF
Custom recovery
Firmware package from here (recommended but not needed for now)
Read this flashing guide - [GUIDE] Complete Flashing Guide | Rooting | Going Back To Stock
So i tried to get the latest firmware, and that's where the problems started. But shouldn't it be better to have the latest firmware? I mean it stands there for a reason, right? Or am I wrong?
Anyway, i will try ARHD for now, it looks nice
Thanks again!

[Q] please help me restore my One

Good day all
I have been running CM 10.2 on my One for some months. Recently its started playing up so ive decided to go back to stock.
Ive googled the process. Fastboot works OK and see's my One connected OK.
Im having issues figuring out what RUU I should be downloading. Initially I went for RUU_M7_U_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.2
After a number of minutes it failed and said something like it cannot use this on my phone. My phone is a UK purchased unlocked device. Can anyone point me at the correct RUUI should download?

Looking at the fastboot screen I can see that my OS is 2.24.401.8
hboot is 1.54.0000
Please, any pointers to get a stock OS installed and my device booting again.

You can flash this (compatible with your firmware, CID & MID): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
if you want to receive OTAs, you'll need to select "stock recovery" (which will overwrite custom recovery).

If you have unlocked bootloaders then download twrp or cwm and rename to recovery put the file in the fastboot folder.
Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this will flash the custom recovery.

Do one thing install a custom rom like ARHD etc. and then S-off your phone using rumrunner.

This is going to be one of those jobs that just fails and all I end up with is a bricked phone.
I am a mac user and was using a windows XP VM to communicate with me phone using fast boot... When I try to push a recovery image XP fails badly and reboots...
I can't boot camp my mac because I'm running without a CD drive and boot camp needs a CD drive before installation.
Any tips on how to get my phone sorted using a mac?

1- just use mac versions of fastboot & adb, i believe you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
(or google for them)
2- do you care about having your phone "out-of-the-box"? that entails much more work.Can you live with an UNLOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader, and possibly the TAMPERED sign?
3- if you don't care about ^^ (2), then just use the Guru Reset ROM, i linked before.
get adb and fastboot working on mac, then in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery
adb push <name of guru>.zip /data/media/0/
then in recovery choose "install" and select the Guru Reset ROM.

Ok so i reloaded the recovery image. Rebooted and hey presto Cyanogenmod 10.2 loaded again. Phone is now working BUT I would still like to go back to stock.
With that in mind I followed your instructions above and tried to load the Guru zip on to the SDCARD. The ADB process finishes and it says its copied the file over but I can never seem to find it whe i load the recovery and try to install from a zip file.
Questions. Am I right in thinking I can continue to load the Guru zip to attempt to get back to stock?
What am i doing wrong?

if your phone is booting up again
just copy the guru.zip to the phone storage from your mac
no need to "push" if your phone is booting up

To confirm, I am now copying the zip over.
Is there a chance of me bricking the phone again or will the Guru zip return the phone to stock and allow OTA updates?

yeah the Guru reset was designed to put the phone back to stock
it uses an Aroma installer .. choose Stock Recovery to be able to receive OTA in the future. but you won't be able to flash any custom roms or Root with the stock recovery

that seemed to do the trick. phone is back stock.
after initial setup t imediately downloaded and installed a small update. rebooted and then asked to download another 4.3 675mb big update. that one seemed to reset the devce to new again. after setup the 2nd time i can see it didnt work as the phone was as if i had just completed the guru install...
thoughts?

[SOLVED] Can anyone help me fix my htc one m7?

I recently acquired an htc one m7. i decided it would be cool to root it and put a custom rom ( i have had experience in this i have done it on my s3 my galaxy tab 2.0 and a galaxy express) so i unlocked my bootloader, flashed a custom rom and rooted my device and i decided (stupidly) to erase everything from the device (System, data, internal storage, cache, and dalvik cache) but then i realized i didnt have the file on my phone and couldnt do anything with it so i started researching. i tried to gain s-off but with every solution i need to be booted up but i dont have an os so i cannot. i tried adb sideloading the file and it just errors. i tried pushing the file and flashing it and it errors. i tried fastboot flashing it but it wont verify it. i read on a forum on this site that said to flash roms with s-on you need to flash the boot image after. i tried this and it didnt work either. i also tried flashing the factory RUU with hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit. this did not work. ive tried different recovery (but not different versions of these recoveries) everytime i try flashing a rom it errors and says it couldnt detect filesystem for /dev/block/plat then it cuts off and after it says mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msn_ then it cuts off then it continues unmount of /system failed: no such volume (even tho in my file directory there defiantly is one) then it says patching system image unconditionally..... failed to open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/b E: error executing epdater binary in zip ' /sdcard then cuts off. i have no idea how to fix this sorry for such a long post please help me.

Why? you don't need s-off to recover from this situation, unless you want to downgrade using a RUU or convert your phone to another variant... Re-flashing another custom rom doesn't require s-off

You can't flash custom roms from fastboot, it must be flashed from custom recovery. The only things that can be flashed from fastboot are recovery, firmware and ruu + flashing a firwmare or a ruu will require to be booted in RUU mode, not in bootloader mode.
i read on a forum on this site that said to flash roms with s-on you need to flash the boot image after. i tried this and it didnt work either.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is true for most of HTC devices but not for the M7. The boot partition is not secured (not protected by s-on) and is flashed automatically when flashing a rom from custom recovery.
i also tried flashing the factory RUU with hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit.
Click to expand...

Which RUU exactly (link please) + post the output of "fastboot getvar all" and finally don't use any toolkits, work directly from the command prompt using fastboot and adb commands. Toolkits are not the best when in this situation.
everytime i try flashing a rom it errors and says it couldnt detect filesystem for /dev/block/plat then it cuts off and after it says mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msn_ then it cuts off then it continues unmount of /system failed: no such volume (even tho in my file directory there defiantly is one) then it says patching system image unconditionally..... failed to open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/b E: error executing epdater binary in zip ' /sdcard then cuts off. i have no idea how to fix this sorry for such a long post please help me.

This is the typical error of using an outdated recovery to flash a rom that require "block:by-name" support (e.g like trying to flash Cyanogenmod using twrp older than 2.7.x.x.) so again What is your recovery version and what rom and version is it?

thank you very much @alray i flashed a more recent twrp and it worked so thank you for all of your help. it was the toolkit that flashed an old version, so yes the toolkit was not useful in this instance because the files used for the recovery were outdated. they should update them. lol thank you.
