[Q] Bootloader Unlock via HTCDev, S-Off not working - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have a Rogers HTC One. For the past 2 days I have been attempting to S-Off. I've tried over 50 times using revone, but every time it said success, it was still S-On. I have tried using different USB ports, different USB cords, and even different computers, but it still doesn't work. I decided to unlock my bootloader so I could try S-Off using Terminal Emulator, but the bootloader is still locked. I followed all the steps from HTCDev, and had no problems throught the whole process. The phone was wiped, and the apps removed from unlocking bootloader (Calcuator, etc) are gone, but the bootloader remains locked. I've tried again twice using the All In One toolkit, but still no dice. Is there an issue with my phone, or do I just need to keep on trying?
Thanks

I would, but it requires bootloader unlock, which I can't achieve, and there doesn't seem to be a version for the Rogers HTC One.

[Q] Locked hboot 2.00 s-on, non-rooted, broken usb, how to root/fix usb?

I have Incredible S with broken usb, just charging, not connect to pc. It have android version 2.3.5, hboot 2.00, locked bootloader, s-on, non-rooted. I tried several things from this forum but non worked. Tried with visionary+ to gain temproot but seems to not work with this version of software. Any suggestions what to do, first to un-brick usb (with mtd0.img solution)? Thanks.
Did you phone still in the warranty? Go to Service centre and fix it.

No warranty, unfortunately.
Does the phone respond to any fastboot commands?
Edit: First step would be factory reset, done this? P.S. don't use visionary for temproot.
Not responding to any fastboot command (waiting for device). I have done full factory reset, and manage to re-flash with stock PG32IMG.zip from sd card, no luck. Everything work except usb, so i can't root/s-off with any method without working usb. I found THIS but in Terminal Emulator i have error "access denied". I tried that was described on first page but don't understand some parts, like:
"Becaue I couldn't find a free telnet solution I purchased the QuickSSHd from Android Market.This allowed me to have write access to /data/data/<package_name>/home where I created a world readable (755) directory. I scp'd the rageagaintthecage, modified misc partition image and flash_image binary to the phones filesystem, and made them executable."
Can anyone explain to me what to do? Thanks.
I don't know stock Rom will do the network adb. If yes, you may root the device.

No, i tried couple of network adb programs, but all requests root.
When you're in hboot fastboot mode, does the screen say fastboot USB?
PHP:
Have you tried another USB cable and/or port?
No, there is no fastboot usb screen, just fastboot, when connect to pc in hboot fastboot mode nothing change. I tried several different cables/ports/pc-s, always the same.
Is there any way to gain temproot, with some apk directly on the phone, like visionary+ or gingerbreak, just to work with this version of software?

I used method on HtcDev.com to unlock bootloader, then root, but stay on S-on because there is only method with downgrade bootloader and i don't want to do that. When you unlock bootloader you can flash custom roms, i followed this step-by-step instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
Good luck!
Thanks, I'll try for sure.. :thumbup:

Trying to unlock bootloader-Unknown error

Hi all, a little info first. I have a One bootloader unlocked, rooted, twrp installed and S-OFF. My wife just received a One from an insurance claim on an older phone. I am trying to unlock the bootloader and install twrp and all of that good stuff, but I keep getting unknown error when trying to execute the command. I have tried several times but keep getting the same error. Did AT&T block the unlock process at some point? Here is the basic info on the phone: hboot is 1.44 and the software number is 1.26.502.12. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which command?
Is the bootloader from May or later? If it's May, use revone to S-Off. If later, I'm pretty sure there are already many discussions about it, but you might be able to run an older RUU to downgrade and then revone.
It's highly likely you're not the first person to want to unlock your AT&T phone, the answer is gonna be here somewhere.
Thanks for the reply, the date in the bootloader is May, same as mine. I followed the youtube video from qbking, as I did to my phone. About S-OFF, won't the bootloader still be locked?
Revone includes an unlocking tool, read the OP of the revone thread.
-u is the unlock command I believe

[Q] HELP HTC One M7

I am a noob and tried to sim unlock my HTC one from Sprint and really messed things up, I erased the OS and no longer have TWRP access.
Let me start from the beginning, I have an HTC One (M7) by Sprint. I wanted to sim unlock it so I could use it with another carrier. I successfully unlocked the boot loader through htcdev. I then successfully rooted the device. Then I was stuck on trying to unlock the sim. I think I was unsuccessful because I had upgraded to Android 4.3, but not sure.
To make a long story short I kept messing with it and accidentally erased my OS while trying to use rumrunner. I had access to TWRP, which I had installed earlier, but as of today I no longer have access to TWRP, it just does not load anymore. I can still load into the boot loader usb section of my phone that’s about it.
I also relocked the boot loader because I read somewhere in another forum that I was supposed to do so.
So as of now my HTC one is Bootloader locked, S-ON, HBOOT 1.55.
ADB won’t recognize my HTC at all, I have another HTC (Different model) and ADB recognizes it so I know I have the drivers installed correctly, but it wont read the HTC One.
I tried using fastboot to flash a new ROM, and TWRP recovery but no luck, it stops at bootloader (Signature verify fail). So I can’t even push anything to the phone.
Can anyone please help? If you need anymore info please let me know.

You have to unlock the bootloader again, flash twrp recovery then sideload a rom.
+1 on the unlock
and get the recovery specifically for SPRINT, it's different than the GSM HTC One, you'll also have to flash a "close to stock" ROM to be able to use the SIM unlock code. no need to be locked!
and remember to get a close-to-stock ROM for SPRINT!!!

[Q] I think I screwed my HTC One.

So, I bought a second hand Sprint HTC One from Craigslist about a week ago.. First think I did was followed QBKing77's guide on how to unlock bootloader and root. Did that fairly easily, then went through this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 ) to unlock it, had to do the steps in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840 ) to get it to work since I had Android 4.3 and was unsure on how to go backwards to Android 4.2.2. After I got my phone unlocked, I went and got a Net10 SIM card and a month card, activated it, threw it in my One, and.. Nothing. No signal what so ever on GSM. It does recognize my SIM, though. So, I flashed to the original Radio from Sprint ( 1.00.20.0315 ), but still couldn't connect to GSM networks. I called Sprint, and they said my phone was still active on a plan, so I went hunting for a way around that.. I saw some things about flashing to Cricket, but I didn't want that. After relocking my bootloader and trying to RUU a few times, and none of them working, I thought I should update the Firmware. So, I downloaded some UL update for 3.62.401.1 without thinking, flashed it onto my device, and when I booted it up, it started a boot loop. I could navigate the phone for a while, but after about 5 minutes of it being turned on, it would reboot. So, I went into TWRP>wipe>advanced wipe> selected Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System. After that, my system now hangs on the HTC boot screen. I can still get into Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried flashing to TWRP 2.5.0.0, but my touch screen stopped working in TWRP when I did that. I just flashed back to 2.6.3.0, and my touch works again in TWRP. I can't get ADB Sideloader to work.. Currently, my Bootloader is Unlocked, S-Off, superCID, HBoot 1.55.0000, Radio 4A.21.3262.04, OpenDSP v32.120.274.0909, OS 1.29.651.10. That's about all the info I can get from Bootloader. It still says Tampered as well.
What should I do? My first step is to hopefully get back to where I can actually see the homescreen.. After that, I'd like to be able to get my phone to work on GSM.. I don't know if that is possible, though. I haven't found anything about someone having a phone that is still on a Sprint plan and being able to use GSM in the US.

I already have my phone unlocked. I have the same RUU downloaded from that thread as well, and tried it one more time, and I got Error 155, basically telling me I have the wrong RUU for my device..

Are you 100% sure you are s-off?
Try a different USB Port
USB 2 if possible.

I only have two ports on my laptop, and I've tried both. I even tried a usb hub, but that gave me the same error. In my bootloader, it says I'm s-off, I used rumrunner to do it a couple days ago.

So can one root GPE or...?

Hey guys,
It's been a while since I've been on XDA. Last week I decided to get me an HTC One and so one hour later curiosity has led me to rooting this thing. Only problem is... nothing works. Initially I tried using the "simple" oem unlock. Which should have worked but my terminal gave me a series of error messages informing me that it couldn't access the splash image. So I tried HTC Dev and that doesn't work either. I've spent hours combing every thread on the internet regarding this, and although I've been educated on my initial errors, I've been led in circles.
I am Locked, S-On, 1.54 Hboot, and 4.4.2 Kit Kat. Can I ever root this thing? I'm so surprised that out of all the iterations of the One, the GPE is the one that is impossible to root. Or maybe I'm not paying close enough attention? I've looked at all the S-Off techniques and they don't seem compatible with the GPE? I have no clue. Any help would be great!
the 'simple' unlock method should have worked. I suggest you start again fresh as some things you did might have corrupted some files and reset your device to factory, then reboot to bootloader either via adb or power + vol down, then issue fastboot oem unlock.
you might get some error messages but that should really unlock it. good luck
