I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But at step 3 I get the following:

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

One more thing, I would try flashing another ROM, i came from Niks Sense 4a rom, and the script worked with no issues.
Remember you will need to manually flash the boot.img of the rom as you are S-ON.

Open a command window and then type in the command:
adb shell
If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.

1. This should not be in the development section......
2. Boot to bootloader.
3. Does it say Locked, Relocked, or Unlocked?

6. Select Recovery, what happens?

2. Boot to bootloader.
yes boot with volumen - and power
3. Does it say Locked, Relocked, or Unlocked?

4. Does it say S-On or S-Off?
s-off along a few months with the method juonot... with wire.

show the version 1.85
6.- recovery
don't work when selected the option recovery the phone show the screen logo along 1 second and back to screen boot.
Next step would be fast boot flashing a custom recovery. I recommend wcx or twrp. Once youve done that, youll be set to properly wipe and flash the ROM of your choice

The only things I can think of that would cause this "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)" would be:
1. You got a bad download
2. Bootloader is not properly unlocked
3. Your recovery partition got borked somehow
Things I would try next:
1. Redownload the recovery image and try again
2. fastboot oem lock to lock the bootloader, then go through the unlock process again
3. fastboot oem lock, run your carrier's RUU, reunlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img (from ROM), boot to recovery, wipe data, system, dalvik, and cache, and flash ROM

Hi -
Thanks for any help in advance. I'm a bit of a rookie round here, I've rooted and flashed my past 3 HTC phones but taken the easy route every time.
But today, I've used ADB commands to flash the revone binary and unlock and get s-off on my HTC one m7. It took me several tries, but it eventually worked (or at least said successful). So my HBOOT 1.44 says UNLOCKED & S-OFF.
So onto the next step. fastboot flash recovery recoverytwrp.img
...
Another success!
So, I reboot into bootloader and prompt recovery boot like I'm about to get HAM on twrp and flash some superuser files. It shows me a developer screen full of red print saying that it's booting into recovery, and then after a while, it just rebooted back into system.
It does this every time. I reflashed the image, I flashed the stock image, I tried the hansoon tool. each time I can't actually get into the recovery.
So this is where I'm stuck. Why can't I get anywhere with this?

Gave that all a shot all over again. Still can't boot into recovery
Is fast boot off?
Use the original cable your One came with, go into bootloader power/vol - then open a cmd window
Now connect the One with your computer, don't use a USB 3.0 connection, and a different one then before.
In bootloader choose fastboot, that should change to fastboot USB
In cmd window point to your fastboot directory where you also copied the recovery to, I would try CWM touch for now.
Type cd c:\fastboot (or what your toolfolder is called)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
That installs the recovery, you can select it in bootloader abd boot into it.

Is that something I can do with the revone binary? To be honest, I have no idea how to turn security back on. I can relock it and that may be about it.
I stumbled upon another thread, shares a common theme as my issue, but with a different twist. Using a superboot.img as a rooting method instead of flashing it via recovery. It somewhere says that the boot.img needs to be flashed as well, however I can't find a decent boot.img to flash. The superboot tool seems like unproven territory right now.
Here's the other thread, I've leafed through it and found no determinable answer for my particular issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39852757#post39852757
Do not apply revone to return s-on!
Use fastboot by "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Be convinced that bootloader is unlocked before return to s-on.
Regarding your issue: I suspect that a certain code in HBOOT tries to install TAMPERED flag when sees custom recovery, but isn't able to do it correctly because s-off (bypassing security) and a certain mistake or exception conducts to reset phone.

I've just skimmed through the posts and didn't see this mentioned
If you are still able to boot into the system, download either GooManager (for TWRP) or RomManager (for CWM) and use either of those apps to install recovery. Once done, you can use the app to boot into recovery instead of the fancy ADB commands or button presses.

So both that method through ADB shell and GooManager require root. Every rooting method requires recovery, so I don't have perm root yet.
You quoted me, but answered not to me.
Read a post #26 from my link above
Possible Solution
Hello I have the same problem and the solution was:
1. Settings - Energy- Fastboot uncheked
2. Flash Recovery usin one all-in-one-kit
3. Erase Cache 3 times
4. Unplug to PC, and load into system normal
5. Turn off phone - via stock menu NOT FORCE TO OFF pressing the off button
6. Wait 2 minutes, and boot into HBOOT - Power + Volume(-) pressing
7. Choose recovery
Ready.. May these work for you! Let me know
Hello xda community, I'd like to start with saying all the work done on this forum for open-source, freeware, and general android tweaks is awesome! Thank you.
So awesome in fact that I got a little bit ahead of myself with my new "Sprint HTC One". I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244060 to Unlock the bootloader, and root my phone. I then went a step further and wanted to flash a custom Rom. I followed this video, but strayed a little bit (whoops!). I went into twrp recovery, and flashed the "Beanstalk" super custom 4.3 (9/24/2013), along with smw6180_superwipe, and 4.3 gapps.
This actually was working for about 4 days, but now it won't connect to the mobile network even when toggling on and off airplane mode (A temp fix for the ROM). I went ahead and looked for solutions, namely to just get back to stock to see if the problem is bigger than just custom ROM. I relocked my bootloader, following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WWNZpaQBh8&list=PLE395F615E026133D&index=11 Thus running into my current issue of Error 140 when trying to flash the RUU.
I'm asking anyone that could help, to offer suggestions on getting my phone back to stock. I would also like a couple suggestions for more stable ROM's (again, i knew what i getting into; ie disclaimers) that offer cool customization!
did you put the stock recovery back on before you locked the bootloader? Also are you super cid?

twrp has to be renamed to recovery.zip try fastboot flash then type flash recovery then the name of the zip which is recovery.zip then fastboot reboot
I did that am getting error:cannot load recovery.
Also tried fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
that resulted in this
sending 'recovery' (8608 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.120s]
writing 'recovery'...

try hassoons all in one toolbox
I got twrp back by unlocking my phone again. Should i proceed with the 3.04.651.2 firmwre? beanstalk is now hanging on splash screen.
The phone isn't being recognized on my computer it seems, it shows as m7wls under device manager, when in twrp 2.6.3. When in bootloader it shows as One device, but neither is accessible.
Also tried flashing the s-off firmware, but got 'error cannot load firmware.zip'
Any more help would be appreciated, almost thinking of taking it back to sprint, i have a protection plan. But i would like to avoid that, im currently going to buy an otg-usb cable as well.
Hi guys,
I know this is an old topic and I have tried my best to find the answer on the forum. I just received the new 6.07.1540 OTA. I tried to run it but I get the red triangle soon after the install kicks off. First, here is my configuration. My phone is factory unlocked version. I was once on a custom ROM but since I have run RUU and gone stock. I am on Stock Recovery and my bootloader is Relocked. One thing I forgot was my Cid which I changed to superid previously. Since I could not remember my old cid I changed it to HTC_001. I am using the stock recovery corresponding to HTC_001 cid.
I am Rooted and S Off.
I have tried the manual install of OTA using the Vol + - and power button at the red triangle but with the same result. What am I missing? I don't want to wipe my phone again. Is there a way to install this OTA without RUU again?
Please advice...
thanks in advance...

Your stock recovery (5.19.1540.9) and cid (BS_US001) should match the variant/version you are trying to update. Check out this post for information on the OTA requirements and this one on how to find out what error is stopping the update.
and you don't need to relock bootloader for ota updates.

Thanks for the reply. My recovery version is 5.11.1540.9 (Software Number in Settings). Since I forgot what my Cid was how can I find out the correct cid? I will check out these links as well. The error I am getting is
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.

like majmoz said, cid for your OS version is BS_US001
if you have flashed recovery for HTC__001, then you have flashed the wrong one.

thank you guys. As I understand it then I need to
Change my cid to BS_US001 and find recovery corresponding to this cid.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Your stock recovery should be the same as your OS which is 5.11.1540.9. You can extract the recovery.img from the firmware here. Flash it with the instructions below:
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Ok, I fixed it. I used Revone to remove Relocked flag and reran the recovery.img. It was successful. Now I wonder if my OTA will work or do I have to relock the bootloader for OTA to work?????

Hello,
1. I think I may have bricked my phone, here's what I did. I was S-OFF, Super CID. Installed new M4 RUU, the only one I could find and then decided to install Stock_SixthSense-M4_5.11Base.
2. I had an error at the end of it 'unable to mount /system'.
3. Tried to start adb sideload to try a different ROM, couldn't start either.
4. Rebooted phone to booloader, tried to start recovery TWRP, screen flashing not starting.
5. Tried to reinstall recovery and this:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (9432 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.188s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: no transfered data)

What is happening? Please help!

Try to run the RUU again. If it is successful, then you are back to stock. There is a HTC One Mini forum which will have more expertise than this forum.

The RUU did install properly. It's an AT&T RUU though and there aren't any others which is a bit of an issue.
Still can't get a custom ROM to install with TRWP
