my friend ask me to install a custom rom for him because his phone is laggy, well, as i installed many custom rom with my phone so i think i could help,
i was about to unlock BL, install recovery, root, but than, the phone said there is an update, which i think well, maybe install the latest one to see if it's smooth, during the download, the internet screwed up at 60% and run again, when it complete, it install and after the installation, i got the red triangle on the phone, than stucking at htc logo and couldnt go inside, how can i revert back to normal stage? or is there a way i can unlock-install recovery-root-flash rom from the laptop, because i can get into fastboot i think (power+volume down)
thanks for any tips guys
this belongs in general section.
since there is a red triangle i assume you have not installed CWM or 4ext?
OTA updates dont install on unlocked bootloader AFAIK.
Sorry, i was looking for q&a sectikn but couldnt find one, so how do i install it, i couldnt even go into the launcher

There is a documented procedure at HTCDEV.com to unlock the bootloader if the HBOOT version is 1.16 or above.
Mmmh, you can install an official RUU from there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922.

Yes download a RUU and run it. You just need to follow the instructions on the screen. It tells you when to power on and connect the phone.
If you put it in FASTBOOT USB mode, then type the command
fastboot getvar all
And then post the results, we will be able to tell you which RUU you should use.

you can install the ruu from hboot. just go into fastboot when you do it so it is in fastboot usb mode when connected to your pc. make sure drivers are installed.
okay, i downloaded the wrong ruu, downloading the latest one to try it now, cuz i was updating OTA,so i suppose it is the latest one, will give info soon, thanks guys
the factory site isnt stable as i download 100mb and it stopped, is there alternative link to download?

Yes the 3.11.405.2 is a good choice to use, but your CID is OPTUS001, so you need a goldcard to flash a RUU from a different region.
More specifics can be found by searching this site and forum and reading about RUUs and goldcards. There is no better way to learn IMO.
will i be able to install this one?

Hey guys,
Sorry if I am in the wrong place for this question but I am completely stuck. I recently bought a HTC One M7 which was rooted. I did not know this when I was buying it. The new update came out and my phone asked me to update. I hit yes. My phone switched off and didn't come back on. After extensive research I got it back on to find the following:
1) It was rooted
2)Bootloader started up and TWRP is on the phone
3) There is now nothing on the phone. No firmware or packages at all
4) When I try to flash anything I get the error message: can't mount to system. I can mount to everything else ok just not internal storage.
I am unsure what recovery image and RUU to use. The phone (I was told was unlocked) was O2(Giffgaff).
Details are:

it seems to be both. I try to flash RUU via fastboot and I get a signature fail. So I try to flash a ROM to the phone and it says failed to mount system. I put the items on a usb and tried it but get an 'unable to unzip' error. Its a bit above me to be honest. Thank you so much for helping.

When you say run the RUU to you mean the RUU from the desktop or directly from the phone? How do I know if I have the correct RUU? the closest one I could find was for O2 and the radio was the same down to the last digit being different. Sorry for sounding stupid but it is a lot to take in for such a noob. I read that I need to flash a boot recovery image and then run the RUU is that right?

Post a fastboot getvar all
RUU.exe files or ROM Update Utility files are executable files that run on Windows PC
RUU.zip files are simply the same as above but rather than using a Windows exe file to run them, they are packaged in a zip file that can be flashed in Fastboot mode
The RUU has to match your CID/MID. If your S-On, the RUU as to be same version or higher

OMG My phone literally did the same exact thing today!! I woke up, a few things were force closing so I decided that I would just reboot the phone...... Big mistake, once I did that, the phone just stayed in the booting up animation. So I figured hey what ever ill just reflash the ROM in TWRP.......Nope, couldn't boot into recovery either, the phone would flash the TWRP screen then just reset itself. Again, I thought no biggie ill just reinstall TWRP. This (again) proved to be useless, after multiple (successful) install's the phone still refused to boot into TWRP. So I finally got CWM to install, a noticed a few things at the bottom of the screen about something not being mounted properly, I didn't pay that much attention to it, i just wanted my phone back at that point. I tried to wipe my phone for a fresh flash, but as soon as the wipe began the phone reset itself. At this point I was on the brink of throwing this thing into the torrential down-pour that god decided to place in my city.
Next I tried to install Viper ROM because I knew it had a wipe functionality built into it's Aroma installer. Went through all the checklists got to the start install screen, clicked next, and then began to wipe......... and then reset again........
So finally I got TWRP reinstalled, and go install a fresh ROM and and immediately met with a screen full of : "Unable to Mount XXXXXXX" (Picture attached). So then I figure alright well my last resort has to be to use a RUU. Found this nice little thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726) and decided to use the FUU (4.19.401.11 Full Wipe). Unfortunately all that did was move my HBoot from 1.4 (or something like that) to 1.5 (or something like that), put the tamper flag back, and bring back the annoying red text at the bottom of the phone at boot (the thing about development build, blah blah blah). I reinstalled TWRP yet again hoping for the best, but still nothing. It cant seem to mount anything (what ever that means).
So now im here, stuck using my old One X. Any suggestions or answers or criticism would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!!!!!

Hi all,
My girlfriend has a HTC One M7, currentley Rooted with an Unlocked bootloader, Bulletproof Kernel, CWM Recovery, S-On (can't get S-OFF no matter what I try) and running the stock 4.4.2 Sense ROM that came with the phone.
She wants to install an OTA update, obviously this won't work with the phone in it's current state. I've got experience with all of this with my Note II, but the M7 is just a whole different can of worms.
What I've tried:
Getting S-OFF (no luck whatsoever with any tools)
Flashing stock recovery and kernel
Flashing stock recovery and kernel and applying the OTA manually via recovery
I've read everything on here and nothing seems to go in. She just wants to be able to install OTA updates, even if it means unrooting her phone permanently as this will happen each time there is an OTA update.
Someone, please guide me in the right direction! Step by step maybe?
Keep in mind there is no way I can't get S-OFF.
Huge thanks to anyone that can help. I'd be eternally in your debt!!

I suppose the phone is trying to apply to ota update and then show a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside?
What I've tried:
Getting S-OFF (no luck whatsoever with any tools) Any error message when trying to S-OFF? You must use the correct tool for your hboot version (probably firewater) + combination of the correct rom + kernel
Flashing stock recovery and kernel --> You must have stock recovery for ota, ota will not install using a custom one.
Flashing stock recovery and kernel and applying the OTA manually via recovery --> appyling the ota manually from stock recovery require s-off

Interesting. I don't have the phone with me at the moment and it's late but I'll try to do the POWERUP + VOL tomorrow at some point, I'll get her to try stock recovery + kernel then do it and see what it's stopping at.

Didn't get that message, just keeps going indefinetley or stops, and doesn't S-OFF. Tried Firewater, Revone, RumRunner, if there is another then I've almost certainly tried it, followed all the guides including the one that flashed Android Revolution...no idea..

Interesting. I don't have the phone with me at the moment and it's late but I'll try to do the POWERUP + VOL tomorrow at some point, I'll get her to try stock recovery + kernel then do it and see what it's stopping at.
Didn't get that message, just keeps going indefinetley or stops, and doesn't S-OFF. Tried Firewater, Revone, RumRunner, if there is another then I've almost certainly tried it, followed all the guides including the one that flashed Android Revolution...no idea..

your version-main? (rom version) Go in settings --> About --> Software info --> Rom version
maybe there is a ruu you could use to restore the phone(4.19.401.9), if it match your version
---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------
you can also flash the stock 5.11.401.10 rom, recovery and firmware available on ARHD website

4.19.401.11
What exactly is the function of the RUU? I can't seems to get my head around it..
I'm guessing the ARHD steps are to try to get S-OFF?

forget the ruu, your phone version is higher than the ruu. flashing a ruu (4.11.401.10) with a lower version than on your phone(4.11.401.11) require s-off.

No, this is the latest stock rom(5.11.401.10) for your phone model (MID: PN0710000 and CID:HTC__001) including android 4.4.2 and sense 6.0
You can flash this stock odexed rom(5.11.401.10) from custom recovery, then flash the stock recovery(5.11.401.10) over the custom one and your phone will be stock and ready to take future ota update. You may also want to update firmware to 5.11.401.10
So after flashing that rom and stock recovery, ota would be ready to roll? Would the kernel matter?
What's the purpose / Difference of firmware and how is it updated? On my note II it was just choose a rom choose a kernel and off you go. This is so much more involved

stock kernel in included in the rom (boot.img) so if you don't flash any other kernel it should be fine.

firmware is all the low level code required for your phone hardware to works with the software (OS)
when speaking about HTC phone, firmware.zip include HBOOT(bootloader), BOOT(kernel), Recovery, Radio and some other stuff. if you want your phone to be 100% stock you need both stock rom + stock firmware to match the same version i.e 5.11.501.10
normally, the firmware is updated at the same time the rom version is updated (from an ota update) If you flash a rom, the rom will be updated but not the firmware.
Updating the firmware manually can be dangerous is you don't know what you are doing and flashing the wrong file. You can update firmware using this command from bootloader (with the correct firmware.zip package in the same folder you have adb and fastboot):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
also it looks like flashing a 5.x.xxx.x firmware over a 3.x.xxx.x firmware will brick your phone. from what i see, your phone should be on a 4.x.401.x version at the moment, so it theory it should be fine.
Fails on:
>>>setting permissions
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/one_5.11.401.10_odexed.zip
(status 7)
Tried 3 different versions of cwm. Bad rom download?
Thinking about it I just re read your above post, could it be because the firmware isn't matched? I read your 'it should be fine' as 'dont update the firmware' not 'its fine to update' which I think is what you meant...
Firmware is 4.19.401.11 however the rom is 5.11.401.10. Can't believe I overlooked this, guess firmware needs to be 5.11.401.10 for the rom to take?

Thanks a lot for your response! Actually my real intention is not to go back to 1.26.502.12, but to go back to the latest stock available. Is just that the 4.18.502.7 RUU did not work for me.
If downgrading will solvwe my problem where do I get a copy of the 1.44 hboot for AT&T. I do not find one with the 502 identification.

Did you check the md5 of the 4.15.502.7 ruu you downloaded?
Also if you have HTCsync installed then uninstall it. Doesn't do any favours when using ruu's :good:

Seems that you are right. I tried all the suggestions here but none of them worked on my PC. So Idecided to try on my laptop. The thing is that the RUU did run well but unfotunately it ends with an error 170 usb connection error.
The laptop recognizes the phone well so I cant understand the reason for the error.

yes take the OTA's, if you dont like the new Lollipop you can always just flash the RUU again to get back to the older versions as your s-off.
after you've done the OTA's, to root, just flash twrp recovery: http://dl.twrp.me/m7/twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img and then flash the superSU zip from within TWRP recovery: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU, complete root setup once the phone has started back up by opening superSU from your app drawer.

Since I did change the stock recovery to TWRP just for rooting the phone, could I still take the OTA upgrade or does it have to be done manually?

I did something bad to the phone and would like to go back to stock can I use the RUU again and how? Because I tried and it gives a fastboot error a few seconds after starting. The RUU is actually a downgrade.
I was trying to mod the Weather widget to transparent and I ended without the widget and the phone goes to black and takes too long to come back to light the screen.
the error is htc.fastboot.exe has stopped working

Hi Guys
Im new here so I hope I wont mess things up too bad, by posting something in the wrong place or something like that
I have a question about my Htc One M7 and I have been googling all day and either there is no easy solution or I am not able to find it...
So hopefully you can help me
My Htc One is at the moment completely stock. All I did was unlocking the bootloader as described by the htc-dev website.
I want to make a backup of my Stock Recovery, before I flash a custom one.
I tried to use this Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 to achieve that.
In step 7/8 it states ("In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot boot recovery.img (this command might not with newer hboots)") that I should be able to boot a recovery without flashing it. But it also says that it might not work with higher hboots.
It seems that it wont work with my Hboot 1.56
Now my actual question: Is there any way to make a backup of the 100% Stock Recovery?
And please dont give me a link where i can download one, i would like to create a backup myself
If you find anything that is wrong with this post (spelling, location or somthing), please let me know.
Thank you for your help

You can only use the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command on hboot 1.44. So if you absolutely want to backup the stock recovery using this method you'll need s-off in order to downgrade your hboot so you can boot a custom recovery without flashing it to dump the stock one, not very convenient... Stock recovery can be extracted from the ota update zip file of the same version your phone is running, this is the method used by everyone if their stock recovery.img is not already available to download here on xda.

It doesn't have to be this way, I just want to create my own backup of Stock Rom and Stock Recovery. If their is a way to extract it from an ota update, I would gladly use this method. Do you know a good guide, that explains how to do that? And could I do that with the current version of Android running on the Phone? Update sounds like I would have to update it first?

To extract the stock recovery from an update update, simply open the zip file, inside you'll find another zip file named "firmware.zip" open that one and extract the recovery.img file.
what is your firmware version? "fastboot getvar version-main"

You can get the ota zip file when downloading an update and selecting "install later". Once the download is completed, connect your phone to your computer and copy the ota zip file from your download folder to your computer. Once the update is installed, the ota zip file is deleted form the phone so you can't extract the update from the phone since its already installed.
You can find the ota update file for your version (from 4.19.401.9 to 4.19.401.11) here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655045071
Or directly download the 4.19.401.11 stock recovery here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717070740 which is the same exact recovery installed on your phone.

Once the update is installed, the ota zip file is deleted form the phone so you can't extract the update from the phone since its already installed.

I think i did it. Thank you very much!
there is the firmware folder with 9 .img files in it seems to be right, altough I can't open the zip folder directly (it says error- Folder invalid), but it worked when I extracted the Folder...
The 9 .img files are about 100 MB, is that right?
And could I apply the same update to my second HTC One M7( running a rooted Stock with Android 5.0.2), to get it back to Stock Rom and Recovery?
What do I have to check to make sure they are compatible?

The stock recovery should be around 12MB not 100MB,

No, this recovery is only for 4.19.401.11 and that update file is for patching 4.19.401.09 to 4.19.401.11 only.

Sorry i didn't say that well... All of the .img files in this folder together are about 100 MB.
The Recovery itself is only 12 MB, so it seems fine

Okay, but if I would install the update and make a Nandroid backup of the updated Rom, would I be able to install that Nandroid backup also on the second Phone?
And would I be able to use the recoverybackup I received out of the OTA.zip to restore the first Phone to StockRecovery if I flashed a custom Recovery after I updated?

If I understand correctly, you'll update phone #1 then make a nandroid backup

I'm not sure if I should answer this one before knowing the details (fastboot getvar all) of the second phone and knowing what is your goal exactly. That might only brings more confusion and there might be easier solution to restore your phone than creating a backup from device A and restoring it to B...
But yes its possible, you want to make sure your recovery version, software version and firmware version match together. E.G You don't want to restore a 4.19.401.11 software backup on a phone running a different firmware version and the recovery version must also match. So if phone B is 7.19.401.22 firmware you want to restore a 7.19.401.22 software and a 7.19.401.22 stock recovery. If you have updated phone A from 4.19.401.11 to 7.19.401.22 and then make a backup of it, you should be fine restoring that backup on phone B. Any mismatch between version will prevent installation of ota updates and in some case you can have drivers issues.

Well the second phone can simply be updated to the latest version by flashing the 7.19.401.22 ruu and then taking one ota update to 7.19.401.30 which is the latest version.
The first phone can also be updated to the latest version by flashing the 7.19.401.2 firmware first and then doing the same thing, flashing the 7.19.401.22 ruu and then taking one ota update to 7.19.401.30. Simple and easy unlike what you are trying to do

Here is the essential:
(bootloader) version-bootloader: This is your bootloader version, sometime called hboot
(bootloader) version-baseband: This is your radio version, radio is the software that controls the reception/transmission. Different carriers/region will requires different radio version because of different infrastructures.
(bootloader) version-main: This is your firmware version, the firmware is the code that make possible the interaction between the software and the hardware.
(bootloader) serialno: Serial number of your phone, don't share this number on the forum
(bootloader) imei: IMEI number is a unique number identifier for GSM networks, for example if your phone is declared lost/stolen or linked to unpaid bills, this number will be added to an international blacklist and you won't be able to use your phone on any carrier worldwide. Don't share this number on the forum.
(bootloader) meid: MEID is the same as IMEI but for CDMA phones, on GSM phone you don't have an MEID (only showing 0)
(bootloader) product: This is your product code, M7_UL means its a M7, U = GSM, L= LTE so its a M7 GSM/LTE
(bootloader) modelid: Model ID (MID) is a little like the product code but more specific to your region. For example, PN0710000 = M7_UL Europe. PN0712000 is also a M7_UL but for North America (all Canadian carriers, USA's AT&T, Google Play Edition and US developer edition)
(bootloader) cidnum: CID is the carrier / region ID
(bootloader) security: Security ON/OFF. Read about s-on/s-off here

How would I know if these are compatible?
I would rather not use some download from the Internet because I afraid that somebody messed it up and I won't get the 100% Stock, maybe even an infected one. (Is this even a rational fear? )
That's why I am trying to create all the necessary resources myself, so I can be sure that they are alright. Also I learn much more if I do it step by step instead of just flashing a Rom from the web.
For example how do I check if a Rom is compatible with my device?

Not really since the RUU are offical (from HTC) and also they are encrypted with HTC private key .The 7.19.401.22 ruu was uploaded by me as you can see here. :good: So there is nothing to fear. Then the 7.19.401.30 ota update will come directly from HTC's servers so again, nothing to fear.

No offense, but these ruu are probably more reliable than what you are trying to do + easier to achieve your goal.

First you have a M7_UL (GSM variant) so make sure you are only flashing M7 GSM stuff (rom, recovery, kernel etc). Also read the rom thread to see if you have all the pre-requisite before flashing a rom, for example, lollipop roms requires at least a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware to work correctly so it would work fine on phone B but not on phone A. Another example: CyanogenMod roms requires at least TWRP recovery 2.7.1.1, using anything below that will not work. Thats why you should always read the first post of the thread from the rom you want to flash before proceeding. If you are unsure after reading, better to ask questions instead of (soft) bricking,
So can I flash the 7.19.401.22 from you directly on phone B? And then update over the official server? Then Phone B is completely stock and with the newest version?
If understood the whole s-off/ s-on that you posted, I only can flash the official RUUs on Phone B with s-on?
I think after that I understood everything for now thank you very much!
Do you have a good source where I can read about this whole topic? I need something like an encyclopedia with explanations, that are not completely basic but easy enough for me to understand

Yes you can and btw the ruu is not from me, I have uploaded it but its an official RUU from HTC.

You can also flash the RUU on Phone A but you will need to update its firmware first since its too old to accept the 7.19.401.2 ruu

About what? flashing RUU?
Btw, you'll find instructions how to flash the ruu here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944 (see post #1)
I meant to ask if it is correct that I can only Flash official RUUs while on S-On?
I mean something like a collection of Information about all the terms used around flashing and rooting.
At the moment I just google everything I don't understand/know, but I would like to understand it all completely. Is there something like a guide, that doesn't only say " Do this and then do that" but also explains why I should do this and what exactly I am doing.

Thanks, can I flash everything from there that has my CID? Or do I have to look out for something else?
And while I am doing this, could I switch from Sense to the Google Play Edition on Phone B?

As long as the rom you want to flash is for a M7_UL you should be able to flash it, CID is more important when you want to flash a RUU.

Using a custom GPE rom yes its possible, using a GPE RUU no because the phone is S-ON and flashing the GPE ruu would requires to change the phone CID/MID (s-off needed)

Is this even the correct Rom if I want the complete stock gpe? And if flash the unrooted version would I be able to root it in a second step (Easier for me to learn the stuff, then just flashing a rooted Rom)
