Yes, as soon as I plug the power cable in it boots to bootloader fine (despite root been removed it says unlocked security warning)
I fully charged the battery but unless its plugged in it wont turn on even using the hardware buttons.

Just unrooting the device will not relock the bootloader, sounds like you have corrupted the firmware, somehow... Flash a Custom Rom From Recovery and itll work just fine Oh and dont forget that youll need to put the Boot.img on the device via fastboot USB

That's my fault I guessed it had NFC, totally my bad I meant to check.
updated the phone to latest version.
then unlocked bootloader
installed touch CWM beta 1
rooted device (I know backwards mistake there)
attempted the sim unlock (no luck at all)
used the updated SU to unroot
then relocked bootloader
mostly used the All in one apart from the root part...
I was thinking of using the stock three RUU hoping that would solve my issue .
So if it has no NFC I'm good to go on Nameless ROM which is great.
Thanks for the help and advice, I'll report back if this solves it.

The stock ruu will probably fix it there's a link to one round here somewhere but it won't work if you've updated to the newest software version and this phone does have nfc cause mines on three uk aswell. You can still use nameless rom tho but you just won't be able to use nfc.

Hi,
Well got home and now it wont turn on even plugged in I suspect it is bricked, not sure how that happened really but presume its something I missed.
I plugged it into the USB port and it beeped 3 times rapidly then showed as an unrecognised device .
Thanks for the help guys.
Update - ADB and RUU both show device as not found for obvious reasons, how much to repair and is it possible?

It's bricked, must be an ruu update fail will give you hard brick.

Yea just take it in to a three store are you on contract? If so they'll do it for free usually takes a few days to fix.

Right , Sim unlock will only work on Custom Sense Roms.
Im surprised, H3G make have no details the device has NFC on their website or even speaking to their sales team.... ^__^
Id be interested to know what your your CID is... if its HTC__** then i will be surprised.

I know you can't use the generic ruu but there's a h3g one on here somewhere the links in the q and a forum.

Yeah I did some research found the correct RUU which would have worked but for some reason the phone did an auto reboot and never came on in my haste it was half way through loading and I unplugged and pressed the power button it died never to be woken again...
Thanks for all the info and help, never knew it only worked on custom rom.
I'm gonna send it back see if they fix it if not it was an expensive mess up

[Q] Display won't turn on - warranty questions

Hey guys,
last week I've rooted my Sensation XL and flashed an ICS rom I found in this forum, namely
[ROMs][ICS] XL 3.6 (v1.2) & [GB] XL 3.5 [More supported Languages including Arabic]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649402
everything worked pretty fine and the rom was really slick but last saturday, after a call, I noticed that the display would not turn on anymore.
I could still receive calls and the soft-keys also seemed to work but the display was just black. I tried to remove the battery for 30 minutes and turned the phone on again but still no reaction - i can't even see the htc logo or the boot animation - nothing.
So, I guess that the thing or the display is fried and I'm planning to send it to HTC for repairing.
My questions now are:
* is my warranty now void, because I rooted the phone and flashed a custom rom to it?
* is there a way to flash a stock RUU firmware via PC/Htc Sync even though the display doesn't work?
thanks in advance
Lu
Yes you void warranty when you unlock bootloader.

That's the reason why I was planning to send it to HTC for repairing.
But I'm not sure at this point if the custom rom on the phone will cause any problems with my warranty. I also believe that the guys who will repair it, can see that there's a custom firmware installed on the phone, and that it is rooted, even though the display doesn't work.
I also was planning to flash a stock rom vie PC but I learned that I have to re-lock the bootloader and unroot the phone for this procedure. And I think that this all won't be possible without a funtioning screen.
So I'm waiting for some experts to confirm that my only option is to send that thing, as it is, back to htc...

If HTC can get out of repairing your phone for free they will. Unlocking bootloader on its own is enough for them to say no. And a custom rom will be the cherry on the cake for them.

So this has to be a known problem.
Do you know if your friend had a custom rom installed on his device and did he have problems with his warranty claim?
thank you
I used to have sensation XE and I S-OFF ed it then I realised the next day that it doesn't make phone calls so I took the phone back from where I bought it and the store give me a new phone without even checking if it is s-off/unlocked or not. So don't lose hope as they will not know if you unlocked it or not as the screen is not working

Thanks for your warning. I really would like to flash a stock rom (e.g. from Runnymede's Shipped ROM Collection) but I'm not sure if this is even possible without a display (for instance, how to select entries in the bootloader menu, how to relock the bootloader, etc.).
Do you know if I could manage to flash a stock rom without a display, salahfathi?

relocking the booloader is quite easy,even without display.
totally powered off,then long press power button and vol - for 10 second.
then wait 20s,press vol- once,power once to go into fastboot mode
now back to pc using fastboot oem lock to get it relocked.
flashing RUU is the same.you need to boot into fastboot mode then run ruu on your PC.

ok, I guess it's worth a try.
Is it necessary to have USB debugging enabled? If so, and if I DONT have it enabled right now, is there a way to enable it without using the phone screen?

USB debugging is an android feature and has no effect in bootloader so its not needed. Like the other user says, there is no need to look at the screen when relocking bootloader or flashing an ruu from fastboot. But HTC will still know the bootloader has been unlocked as it will show on there diognostic software as "relocked" not "locked"

Ok, that's really great news. As soon as I get home I will try to:
unroot the phone
relock the bootloader
flash a custom RUU firmware
I found "only" 3 Roms that are for the European region in Runnymede's Shipped ROM Collection. I guess I'll try this one:
RUU_Runnymede_HTC_Europe_1.02.401.1_Radio_20.51.30.0822_3822.10.00
It's Android 2.3.5. with Sense 3.5.
Do you agree or is there a stock rom that is more suitable (I hab a T-Mobile branded 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 before)?
thank u very much guys, you are a great help!
As its a display problem most likely linked to hardware your warranty should cover the screen. Can you see bootloader screen? Follow instructions to flash ruu file as you can guess by checking in adb if phone is connected. Adb devices in cmd prompt will list serial. If that is listed then most happens on PC and will get message saying successful at end

I just downloaded the stock rom and now I'm waiting another 10 minutes for the phone to recharge a bit.

Hopefully this will work. I'll report back to you guys.

Help me Return my phone in factory condition

Hey guys long time to talk (long time since I have had internet)
So here is the situation, two weeks ago I bought the HTC Desire C and I rooted it, and of course unlocked my bootloader.
Problem is, I want to return this phone and exchange it for the LG Optimus Regard
Can anyone tell me the steps I need to take so the store reps wont know I fiddled with my device? (I read somewhere that they can tell how many times you flashed it, so I need to reset said counter if it exists) I really want to do this tonight.
Thanks,
Tlasch
You should be able to do a full unroot from the options in supersu also you can relock the bootloader but it will say relocked not locked like it used to and there's nothing you can do about that. But its unlikely they'd check that before they take it back anyway.

Well in superuser, I have no options, will this RUU undo the root for me?
It says its the Europe version, will that mess my phone up? (NVM it doesnt look like it will work, it keeps telling me my battery is less than 30% which is not true)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710312
Yes flashing a ruu will unroot your phone but you need to make sure its the right when for where you live so if you dont live in Europe don't flash a Europe one also I think you need to relock the bootloader before flashing a ruu.

Can not solve 'no service ' problem

Hey there!
after an unsuccessful try to unlock my bootloader (11w42) my phone is still working, but radio function is disabled.
I can only enter my PIN number...
Is there any way to get it back working again? I already tried repairing with SUS and flashing the firmware with flashtool, but still there is no service.
Some wrote to get back radio function with msm7227_setool2, but i guess thats only for already unlocked bootloaders, right?
Thank you so much for your help!
i think that is related to the "baseband" check the version of your phone maybe you are using the wrong one
Type this using dial pad *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information and check if ur radio is off....

As I said: 'unsuccessfull'!
The phone was a gift from one of my friends, he did not read the warnings about the production date but tried unlocking
So now radio is off...
I'll flash 2.1 and baseband later to check if that works
I think it's sim lock but I'm not sure :/ :/

[Q] "this build is for development purposes only..."

ok guys im kinda new with the android system after using iphone long time...
i buy this phone from china and it shows me that error every time i turn it on.
first its comes with out the google store or any other google apps :/
when i try to download it, its collapses after i run it.
some technikal info i have =>
HTC ONE M7
android 4.4.3
htc 6.0
htc sdk api level 6.25
pi 4.38_003
prl 1
is there any chance that i can install a "normal" android virsion on this phone ? or its a real developers device that not designed for "normal users"
thanks a lot !
Since you bought this from China, I wanted to ask if you are sure this is a genuine device (an actual HTC One and not an HDC One knock off)?
i think so

The HDC One has a removable back cover. The HTC One does not.

Either way, what you are seeing on boot is a result of the firmware installed on your phone. Tell me, do you know whether your phone is s off or not?
for my lucky , its not removable so it is real.
about the s off question i cant answer you because i dont know how to, sorry

There are more than 2 Versions of the HTC one. Yours is Sprint M7_wls and although the Hardware is basically the same. The Sprint has a different partition structure to the more popular International M7_ul also Sprint uses a CDMA network where as International uses GSM network.
Your new OS version with hboot 1.55 seem's to be normal and nothing to worry about. It appears strange though as we were only aware of GPE phones getting a lollipop update. Since the latest update before lollipop has firmware number 6.xx with hboot 1.57 we kind of expected lollipop to be on 7.xx with hboot 1.58. But for some reason it appears Sprint has gone back to 1.55. It will be interesting to see if other variants go the same way.
The fact your device is s-off is a good thing, there's not much you can't do with s-off. As long as your only using Sprint software ( Rom's, RUU's and Recoveries) Your'll be fine.
You'll find the Sprint Forums here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one.
Did you buy it from ebay it's not the first time I've heard of devices from china coming with s-off when purchased from ebay.

I have checked the phone's version by IMEI and i was told its an 801e variant: i.imgur com/69yw3hG.png
SN: FA34AS902336
But i have an other problem with it: it does not recognize the SIM card. No PIN check nor signal, altough when I remove the sim card when the phone is on I recieve an error that the sim card removed. Tried it with 2 SIMs already.
So I'm not so sure about its a Sprint version. Did u successfully flash a Sprint ROM on it already?

Looks legit to me. The red text warning is the result of the device being s-off, Thats normal in that circumstance. You have nothing to worry about. :good:
Also worth mentioning its a Sprint phone so if your gonna flash anything make sure its for Sprint HTC one.

Just to correct you, the red text shows once your bootloader is unlocked and a non-stock boot is installed, if I remember rightly it was said to be triggered by CRC check &/or Signature check, shows same text way back on hTC Desire C as well

lol maybe that was the case for the Desire C. But i assure you 100% The red developer warning on boot of a HTC One M7 is caused by the device being switched to s-off.

If your phone is sprint you can only use roms, recovery, kernel and etc made for the sprint version. Stuff for the standard version won't work on your sprint variant.
I'm not really aware of the sim unlock method for the sprint variant but if it requires s-off then you'll need to use sunshine s-off which is the only tool that will s-off your phone and you'll be happy to know that this tool cost 25$ to use...
For your connectivity issues check that your USB cable is the original cable or at least that it's a data cable. There are cheap USB cable that will only charge device without providing a data connection.

Solution for unlock, saving $25 bucks, I know it is not to much, but anyway, there was free solution 3 years ago for this, actually must be any other solution....

Like I've said if the sim unlock method for the sprint variant does requires the phone to be s-off first then you have no other choice than using Sunshine to achieve s-off. All these free methods of achieving s-off were patched with bootloader updates (your phone is running Android 5.0.2 so its on the latest bootloader) over the years and the only method that still works is Sunshine.

Yeah man, I will try to this today, and post if this work, thank you, I really appreciated
I found your link very interesting, but, I can't test it because my phone didn't connect to data my pc, I think it's hardware problem, I don't know but, when I connect a usb cable from phone to pc, it just charge battery, but no data is sharing between both
finally i managed to use unlock helper, and i tested with *#*#4634#*#* but now, the problem is that i can´t change from lte/cdma network to 2g/3g, cause it doesn´t recognize my sim card (movistar) anyone could help me to change my mobile network??
