htc freezing on white/logo startup screen

Hi, I tried to update the system on my phone and when it did a reboot after updating and installing, it is freezing on the white/logo startup screen. how can i proceed...?

Remove the battery to turn the phone off, and when turning back on, hold down the power+volume up buttons. This will put your phone in hboot mode and allow you to reflash your ROM from there.
Good luck.

thanks. Yes i did make it to that step. now i need to flash the official rom for my model which is S710e, but i found so many links that i'm confused which one is the official...can i have some indication...
thanks in advance

If you flashed a custom rom and it is stuck in white screen with logo, your boot partition is messed up. But no worries you can fix it.
Extract the boot.img file out of your custom rom (zip-file).
download the SDK files
put the boot.img in the same folder as the files
Boot phone in fast boot
connect phone through usb with a computer
open command prompt on the pc an go to folder
use command fastboot flash boot boot.img
wait 2 secs
reboot
whole proces takes maybe 10 min, very easy to do.

no i did not flash a custom rom. i just did a system update which was prompted to me on the phone itself; when i did this it got stuck on reboot. then i did a factory reset but it was in vain.
at this point what i want is to have my phone back as it was in the beginning...so I wish to know how i can flash a stock rom so that it will become like brand new. thanks.

First, you have to know what your mainver is:
Boot into fastboot, open a cmd window in windows and type this:
Code:
fastboot getvar mainver
This will give you your mainver (e.g. 2.12.708.4)
And go here: http://www.filefactory.com/f/e45d6fe3dcf51228/
You'll find shipped rom list. The filenames are in format like this: RUU_[name][mainver][radio_version]_signed.exe You must select ones with WWE prefixes (for multi-language support) and higher mainvers than yours! For example, if your mainver is 2.12.708.4, then you can select RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Sasktel_Canada_WWE_2.33.669.2_Radio_20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.03.16_M_release_203211_signed (this one's mainver is 2.33.669.2) in the shipped rom list.
Once you've downloaded, you'll face another problem: Flashing.
Flashing is not a real problem but needs some trickies.
The question: Have you rooted your phone?
If yes, this thread is your flashlight to enlighten your way..
If no, you have to obtain a goldcard. A goldcard is a special microSD which prevents the phone to check cid (Customer ID) while trying to flash an original rom. If you haven't created a goldcard yet and cannot boot your phone properly, find another Android based phone and insert your microSD card into it. Then read this thread to create your gold card. Once you've created your goldcard, then it's so easy for you to flash your original rom. Follow the steps in the link above (explaining how to flash).

i downloaded and flashed a stock rom on my phone by placing the PG32IMG.zip file in my sd card . the update was completed successfully however the phone still got stuck in the htc startup screen. any ideas what the problem might be?
I haven't tried the goldcard yet however.

Did you previously use Revolutionary to gain S-Off on your phone. If so by trying to install the OTA update, you now have a HBOOT ROM mismatch. The OTA update requires that the HTC HBOOT 2.00.0000 be installed, but the Revolutionary S-Off HBOOT prevented the OTA from overwriting the hboot, thus creating the situation you are in.
Follow steps 1 - 2c on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14
The find the OTA file on your SD card and extract the file firmware.zip.
Copy this to the root of your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip and then reboot into bootloader and it should reflash the correct HBOOT and you should be good to go.

Thanks very much tpbklake, I managed to solve my issue following the thread you indicated. its been 3 weeks since last i used my mobile. Send it to various ppl including HTC (which did not want to fix my mobile) and no one fixed it. have tried that thread and now its fine working again )

All you need to do is go to the Development section and upgrade from Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.1002 to BlackRose 2.02.0002. That will allow your phone to boot.

basically your saying, due to getting your hboot update u now cannot get root?
you cant downgrade hboot...and without the XTC clip u cannot get s-off.
but by having the new hboot you should have access to your bootloader now, giving you the ability to flash CWM recovery. kanded knows this procedure better than me i believe as i already have s-off and original hboot with cwm.

what exactly is the diff btwn s-off and a unlocked bootloader??
i have flashed with cwm recovery 5
basiclly i want to increase my internal memory using the scripts and use custom roms will i be able to do so...

unlocking your bootloader via HTC allows you to flash roms via adb (android-Sdk)
having s-off allows you to do all this without going through HTC like i did.
basically i used the XTC clip, which gave me s-off and unlocked my bootloader at the same time it installed cwm 4.
you have cwm5 and i use cwm 4 as my setup currently doesn't allow me to update it. why i dont know.
best way possible is to use you standard rom once you have rooted it.
in the post i left previous i listed a topic which kanded wrote on using data2sd script. See here for data2sd post> Data2SD
get root, follow that post to the letter! do not deviate from it, make sure you make a flash back up via cwm (backup and restore, makes a nandroid backup image of your current setup, which allows you to flash back anytime to what your using now)
and then copy your sd card to your computer.(image backup)
as this process will wipe everything stored.
as for custom Roms, thats your choice.....not allot around at the minute, i have 2 Chinese UK O2 Roms, both totally different, but both have memory issues, as for using the data2SD i still have to figure out why my handsets not allowing it.
so once this is working on a standard ROM, maybe it can be used on these other Roms i have.
personally stick with what you got and try kandeds data2sd method...see if that works for you.
i can be contacted via gtalk on your handset, type in [email protected]

u need adb and fast boot
i got cmw 5 using this and this was preety simple..
just run the commands in cmd prompt with ur device connecteded in usb debugging mode nd u will have cmw5
next inssert a memory card in fat32 format into ur phone and run the cmw5 recovery by holding the volume down with power button
once into cmw5 goto advance then select to partition ur mrmy card
u must create 3 partitions
1) fat32
2)ext3
3)swap
the size depends on your requirements
once dis is done
plug ur memory card into a pc and use MiniTool Partition to convert ur ext3 partition to ext2
(doing the above three partition directly on ur pc may not allow ur phone to read the card so i prefer doing this)
after dat
go to cwm recovery again, wipe data, cache and dakvik cache. Reboot.
Install busybox, and choose the version v1.17.1

[Q] Restoring Rogers HTC One M7 to Factory without RUU ?

Hello everyone,
This is my first post so I hope I don't end up being a "typical noob".
I'll try give the full info but keep it concise.
Background:
1) Carrier Unlocked HTC One M7 Originally on Rogers.
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-On RH
HBoot-1.44.000
Radio - 4A.14.3250.13
Open DSP 26.120.274.0202
emmc-boot
2) The phone was working perfectly after being hard reset, and configured without a sim.
3) After it was activated by the telco, the keyboard would would no longer work. Dialpad fine... menus fine... but no keyboard would pop up when selecting text fields. Did a full factory reset, and also tried clearing the Sense Touch data cache via Settings->App.
4) After trying various possible solutions I found online, I finally decided to try start from scratch by installing stock firmware.
WARNING: i'm the second owner of the phone. For warranty I would have had to send the phone to HTC. I suspect the HTC warranty won't apply to me anyhow. I suggest that in this situation, people just get the phone fixed on warranty if they have that option
First Steps:
A1) I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev and used adb to flash CWM Touch Recovery.
A2) Restored the "M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID ROGER001 / 1.29.631.17 (Rogers - Thanks to Whampahoofus)"
A3) Phone now works correctly at this stage, but is still bootloader unlocked/tampered + CWM Touch Recovery
A4) While I may eventually flash the phone to an official Developer Edition
I would like to reinstall a factory recovery.img, then use revone to get rid of the bootloader "tampered" flag and relock it. (for OTA Updates, and the usual warranty concerns)
A5) I tried flashing both the boot.img and recovery.img from "OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_Rogers_WWE_1.29.631.17_R-1.29.631.4_release_318662" to get back to stock recovery, but I got a Red triangle.
Questions:
Q1): Does anyone know of a stock recovery.img I can use with Rogers firmware ? (SEE UPDATE BELOW)
Q2): Is there some trick to getting the OTA recovery/boot images I tried....working ? Is there some cache reset of somthing that needs to be done after flashing the stock recovery/boot imgs ? (SEE UPDATE BELOW)
Thanks in advance !

same issue
I too am looking for a rogers ruu or even the M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID ROGER001 / 1.29.631.17 (Rogers - Thanks to Whampahoofus) since bugsys page is down.

Thanks in advance !
P.S. For pure curiousity.... Am I correct in believing that revone can't clear the "tamper" flag and lock the bootloader with the custom recovery ?

A lot of the RUUs and nandroid files were apparently "saved" to "Crushalot's" site: htc1guru.com
you can also get the file links in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276
I used that nandroid backup. I don't think a Rogers RUU exists (yet).
UPDATE ON MY PROGRESS:
1) I had success with using revone to get my M7 S-Off and removed the tampered flag in the bootloader.
I suspected that SuperSU wasn't working right becaue i hadn't been getting a root permission popup window on the phone.
On I reinstalled SuperSU, I got the root rights popup window when running revone, and it then worked.
2) I have realized that the firmware.zip, which is contained in the OTA update, contains the factory recovery and boot image I needed.
(I kept thinking that it was an incremental update and not a complete image or something, due to it's size.)
Therefore, instead of flashing the images individually, I used the firmware.zip from the OTA update to do a complete firmware update.
3) The Red triangle I was getting was, normal. I couldn't find clear info, so I assumed it was a bad sign because the only time i had seen the factory recovery was when it was upating with a red circle/arrow. So.. I thought the red circle/arrow was the icon you wanted to see.
Eventually I found a thread for a different HTC Phone, that also works for the M7
Result: You can use the volume up + power buttons to enter the recovery once the red triangle appears.
4) After installing the firmware (extracted from the OTA update), I used revone to set the phone back to S-ON, then locked it.
5) The OTA update then automatically installed, as a stock phone would.
6) After the OTA update, for some reason the tampered flag is back. I'll be using revone today to fix that.
UPDATE 2
:
6) After the OTA update, for some reason the tampered flag was back. I unlocked the phone, used revone to to get S-OFF, then used revone to reset the tamper flag and relock the bootloader, and then "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to set S-ON.
After 2 reboots the Tampered flag was back !
I'm suspecting that for the tampered flag to stay off I need to keep it S-OFF, which defeats the whole idea of trying to return it to stock.
Any ideas ?
Anyone working for Rogers want to leak an RUU ? hehe

Did you use CWM to flash the firmware.zip in step 2? I'm trying to follow your steps to get back to stock to obtain my stock rogers update but i'm getting lost as to what you're using to flash, recovery or fastboot.

Tampered will come back the second you flash a recovery. Best to stay S-OFF

I've been in a similar situation where I had to send my phone in for repair and couldn't get the tamper flag to stay off.
I found out it was because I was trying to remove the flag and lock the bootloader and S-On on 1.29.631.17
What I had to do was restore using CWM back to 631.4 then flash stock recovery then remove flag, lock bootloader, then S-On.
The tamper flag should stay off you can try rebooting a couple of times then boot into bootloader to check.
Then I ran the OTA updates and i'm on 631.17 at the moment and my tamper flag is still off.
Hope this helps.
PS. I believe the latest JB4.3 OTA update upgrades the hboot to 1.55 so revone would not work on it. Not planning to try it myself but if anyone can verify this would be great

Thanks for the heads up. If I get a bunch of free time I may just test that after doing a new full backup.
Not sure about the Rogers 4.3 OTA.
I'm running currently the phone with Developer Edition ROM+CID and can confirm that it's 4.3 OTA updates hboot to 1.55.
After the update my phone is still s-off.
I have previously rolled back to an older hboot via a firmware flash.
Since the phone is still S-OFF, I assume I can do that again if needed.

Thanks For the reply Eddy.
Recovery flashing sets the tampered flag even if it's a factory recovery from an OTA being flashed ?
I agree on the S-OFF normally.
This was a test to see if I could get it back to full stock for warranty if needed, and S-OFF would not be acceptable in that case.

please help!
PLEASE! I have been trying to get Rogers stock Canada back on my HTC since the day after release lol..
I have this nandroid backup but can't figure out how to flash it... I also can't relock to try and flash a legit version
So pleaseeee how do I install this!!! I am using cwm I tried making a folder called backups in clockworkmod dir but it doesn't pickup the nandroid backup... Help plz!!!!

So what do I do with the M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID ROGER001 1.29.631.17 2013-06-03.zip
I can't flash it and it won't recognise it as a backup, how do I even install it?
Nobody has mentioned how to use this zip, it isn't a tar file or flashable so what do I do with it?

Simply doing a web search for info would have given you the answers on many many webpages and some youtube videos.
http://bit.ly/1a6d88A
http://bit.ly/1a6ewZ5
Quick answer:
1) Nandroid backups are created and used by the custom recovery "clockworkmod"
2)You need to install a CWM custom recovery (i like the touch version), then unzip the nandroid backup file to the /clockworkmod/backup/ folder. It will create a new folder there. I used the program "Android File Transfer" to copy the files from my laptop to the phone.
3) Once the backup file is on your phone, to restore the backup, you simply boot into recovery and restore the backup as explained in those web pages or youtube videos.
If you have specific things you have tried.... folder names... etc. then ask a question in detail.
You will then have a much higher chance of getting a correct answer (or even an answer at all)
Hope that helps a bit...

I tried that. CWM version 6.+ doesn't save to the backup folder anymore. And won't read a restore I put in it either... Ie. The rogers off the bugzylawson site.

Did you use CWM to flash the firmware.zip in step 2? I'm trying to follow your steps to get back to stock to obtain my stock rogers update but i'm getting lost as to what you're using to flash, recovery or fastboot.

Hello bklam,
Sorry, I missed your question.
No. I used CWM only to restore the "Whampahoofus"' nandroid backup.
That backup is "almost" 100% stock. Unfortunately it contains a custom recovery and won't (in my experience) work for normal OTA updates.
To solve this I decided to extract the factory firmware from one of the old Rogers OTA ("unrar" will extact the files from the OTA), and flash that.
To flash it I used the quick instructions in the 1st post of this thread-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
(I believe there were more details instructions on firmware.zip flashing in another thread but I can't find it at the moment)
Note to other readers: There can be confusion about the word "firmware". Some people use it describe the Rom.
In this case, I'm referring to the hboot, boot and recovery images in a single special file called firmware.zip. I believe in some cases it can also include the radio software too.
If I ever get a chance to get this 100% tested and figured out, I'll post a step by step method.
At this point it's just a overview of what I tried, and looking for other members advice.
Unfortunately, as you can see from my posts, it didn't work 100% for me. It gave me the stock Rogers HTC One Rom/software with OTA updates, but the bootloader still had the tampered flag.
Check out ysl00's post above. He/She evidently had it working 100% without the tamper flag.
Not sure if Rogers has a 4.3 OTA yet, but that might fix the flag since it includes a firmware update along with the OS update.
Post back with your results !

Did you see my above reply lrail? .. just saw u post after thought you might have missed ot!! Thanks so much fpr the help and replies. You are the man!

figured it out.
I thoight the explorer I was using showed all files on phone. TO FIX this issue download root explorer and you can see the other directories... Goto data>media>clockworkmod>backups .. it isnt in the sd dir on your phone.

Good to hear. I read your post. I thought..."Is he using a root file manager ?" then read your next post….
I was also going to suggest a guaranteed way to determine where the CWM backups are being stored on a phone.
This way it doesn't matter which version of CWM, which phone or if the back directory exists yet.
Simply create a test backup and see where it goes. Then copy the Nandroid backup that you want to restore, there.

I should mention that I'm currently running my phone as a Developer Edition (Brightstar) 4.3 with OTAs, S-OFF, and unlocked.
It's works perfectly. Only the Carrier ID (CID) needed to be changed. The MID is the same.
I assume that a brightstar RUU will work on it now, even if the phone was locked and S-ON.
I have a few more things I want to tweak on it, then I'll likely make a backup and try restore it to stock rogers again so that I can create a clear how-to.
What's interesting, is that the Developer Edition OS seems to be the same as the Rogers Edition OS (without the rogers apps which can be uninstalled).
The only reason I think it might be a better choice is that the Dev Edition should get OTA updates earlier than the Rogers Edition.
I tried the custom Viper Rom 2.6.x but couldn't get an LTE connection. I suspect that was due to APN settings, but I didn't confirm that.
Anyone got the Viper Rom fully working on a Roger HTC M7 ?

Alright so I've successfully re-installed that nandroid backup and enabled s-off, re-locked, and removed the tampered notification.
When I try to do the OTA update it just hangs at the bug fix1. It default opens and tries to install it through cwm recovery, I've never done any OTA updates before so I assume this is normal?
How can I fix it hanging at bug fix1?

The OTAs don't work with custom recovery. You need the factory recovery

OP. Can you please remove the attachment, it has your IMEI# listed.
There is NO RUU available, only GuruReset. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/ Which you can flash using a custom recovery.
Why do you want the RUU? What is your goal?

bootloader unlocked?
and you have custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), then you can pretty much flash any ROM you like.
If you just want to go back to stock (with or without root), then you can use this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
select WIPE, select "stock recovery", ROOT and radio up to you
--> you'll receive future OTAs just fine, even with unlocked bootloader

1- OTA = Over The Air upgrade (when HTC releases a new update)
2- "relocked" bootloader is NOT ok: you will need to get a new unlocktocken from HTCdev, and unlock your phone
3- do you need to remove tampered or you dont care?
Basically, my question is, are you selling it or sending it back to warranty and need to have it look completely "out of the box", or are you keeping it and just want it working?

adb works just fine in custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), you can sideload a ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

to get adb working in the first place dont you need to be able to usb debug it? in the process for adb to work? even the sideload as i was trying that earlier or maybe i did it wrong?
also my internal storage doesnt come up when i connect my usb to computer why is that? and will it affect custom rom? or stock rom even?

"internal storage doesnt come up when i connect my usb to computer why is that" -> cause you don't have a ROM?
USB Debugging is needed in a functioning ROM, not recovery. adb will work fine in recovery with or without any ROM.
so maybe, first thing to do is S-Off, you're on 3.62.401.1, so download and install: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
EDIT: use adb push or sideload to get it on your phone
flashable through custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), just like any custom ROM
select WIPE, select ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"
then use rumrunner to get S-Off.

1- are you in custom recovery? adb will only work in custom recovery, or functioning ROM (with USB debugging enabled)
2- if ^^^ yes, then u have to update/fix drivers, you on Win7 or 8 or 8.1, many reported issues with 8 and especially 8.1, can u use a Win7 pc?

[Q] Returning HTC One M7 to stock. Assistance required with RUU.

Hi.
I should start by saying that I am completely new to rooting phones. I think it's fair to say that I am in over my head!
I am attempting to return my HTC One M7 back to stock. I have relocked to bootloader but am unable to find a RRU that is compatible with my device. I basically want my phone as it was (able to receive official OTA's etc). My phone is S-on and hasnt been S-off. I'm not confident enough to go S-off.
My phones details are shown in the attached photo. My CID is ORANG001 (UK EE).
I have been through the extensive list but none are compatible with my device.
Any assistance offered would be appreciated. Remember - speak slowly!
Thanks.

Ok that's fine
you need to unlock the bootloader now at htcdev.com so you can flash the correct recovery to you phone
download TWRP 2.8.5.0 here > http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
flash it
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery and copy your rom to your phone again and install it again
no need to wipe again / theirs no RUU for your phone so no need to relock the bootloader any more

Very helpful. Thanks.
I'm sorry to cause further frustration, but could you give me simpler instructions? I don't want to make my situation any worse!
As I said above, I'm in way over my head.

Humm that's as simple as it gets
go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader
when it's done download TWRP 2.8.5.0 and Flash it same as you did the unlock token above, in a command prompt from the folder with fastboot in it.
when you get to the TWRP recovery screen copy your rom to the phones storage and then click install it in TWRP
choose your file you just copied and let it install
the first reboot to lollipop will take a long time ...be patient
actually your not on 7.x firmware .. you need to flash an older rom
Use this one >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22071
it matches your firmware better

Thanks. And that'll return my phone to stock?
