[Q] Help Plz! I bricked my AT&T HTC One

I was trying to flash a custom rom because I didn't like the att customized rom. I unlocked the bootloader thru htcdev.com and I used the All-In-One toolkit to flash CWM. Everything was fine and I was able to enter CWM. However, after I flashed the Android Revolution HD 6.0 rom, it just stucked at HTC screen. I am trying to enter the recovery and reflash the rom, but I cannot enter CWM anymore. It just disappeared and reboot. I can enter the bootloader. I tried to reflash CWM, but same thing happened. Please help :crying:

Happened to me too, I finally got into CWM again after locking my bootloader, unlocking it again. Still can't get it to boot, nor Sideload a ROM from ADB. :/

The good news is, if your phone powers on, you haven't "bricked" anything.
The bad news is, it sounds like you didn't back up your stock ROM and there's something hinky in how you flashed CWM the second time.
The better news is that you can restore the stock recovery image, and using that, you can reflash the stock ROM. This will put you back at square one, but rest assured that if you can power on your device, and you can get to fastboot, you haven't "bricked" anything.

Don't fastboot flash the recovery. fastboot boot the recovery image. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the good news! May I ask that where I can download the att stock rom and the stock recovery image? I can only find the european and asia version. Thanks
Did you happen to flash the correct boot.img that should have been supplied with the Rom? If not you have to flash it as well.

[Q] stock with out Suitable RUU

i just finished S-ON and locking back my device because i need to my warranty back.
and i discovered there isn't RUU that suits my phone.
now i am on bootloader with no room and i want to restore a original room or any other RUU that won't leave any other cellular compeny sign
i tried:
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4
and
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed
and they aren't working .
what do you think i can do?
my version is 2.24.401.2
You should've got everything back BEFORE going back to S-ON, as there is no RUU you'll have to unlock the bootloader using HTCDev and then flash a CWM backup

1. Backup data on phone
2. Unlock using HTCDev
3. Flash TWRP
4. Restore the backup
5. Flash the stock recovery
6. Relock the bootloader

If you're S-ON and have HBOOT 1.54 there is NO choice but to unlock, flash CWM and restore a backup. You cab't do anything else

[SOLVED] SuperSU and Re-root on 4.4.2

Hey everyone
I've recently solved my OTA problem (seen here) but I soon discovered yet another problem.
When I tried to enter SuperSU, I received the following error shown below.
As mentioned before, I'm on 4.4.2 and I have NO desire whatsoever to unlock my bootloader all over again. Is there anyway to re-root my phone without unlocking my bootloader or will I need to do just that in order to re-root?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Please help :crying:

From what I know, and by the error displayed on the attached screenshot, you need to do the whole rutine all over again. I am pretty sure rooting can not be done if bootloader is locked, which might mean you have a stock recovery image as well - and since that is not keen to be rooted (as far as I know) you need to flash a custom recovery like twrp. I might be wrong in all this, I'm newish to all this.

Since you are S-ON you can not flash a custom recovery or root without unlocking your bootloader.

Well, for starters, my bootloader is unlocked (as mentioned before), thus we eliminate the bootloader unlocking dilemma. But it still doesn't tell me how can I re-root my device: you want to tell me that I have to do is to flash a custom recovery and install SuperSU again, and my phone will be rooted again?

latest known bug free version of twrp is 2.6.3.3/.4 thats why we always recommend using this version.

yes you can flash your stock recovery again, might be a good idea to do a nandroid backup of your current config before flashing back the stock recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Relocked Bootloader with TWRP installed.

I relocked my bootloader to update my firmware to 6.09.401.5 (S-ON) and everything worked smoothly. But now I can't unlock bootloader because seems like you are not supposed to relock it when you have TWRP installed. How can I fix this?

only way is to flash the stock firmware to get stock recovery back on: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712462447
never lock or re-lock with anything custom on the phone

The firmware I flashed is the stock one.
I have ARHD installed if that helps.
Edit: I am an idiot, I just needed to unlock using htcdev. Everything solved now.

you cant unlock the bootloader with TWRP installed, you have to have stock recovery to unlock using the unlock token you got from HTC Dev, you need to reflash stock firmware which will put stock recovery back on, dont do anything else after the flash until you've unlocked the bootloader, rom doesnt matter.

Stock Recovery

So i unlocked my moto and rooted it with magisk. I also flashed the twrp recovery. Now as i wanted to unroot the my moto, I unrooted from masgik uninstall option. But the twrp is still present in there. I think the stock recovery is override by the twrp. I need help as i wanted to be fully stock and lock the bootloader.
I think if i tried to lock bootloader now it will brick the moto as the stock recovery is not there. Help me guys.
