PLEASE HELP ! no OS to load, stuck on HTC screen - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I bricked my friend's One.
1. Phone is brand new & I went through the steps to Unlock Bootloader, flash TWRP, Rooted.
2. Then copied custom ROM to sdcard. & went back to Recovery to flash it but couldnt find it. (it showed the ROM.zip in Window Explorer when I plugged the phone in, but didnt show in the Recovery).
So, I decided to format data (thinking I'll just boot up the phone & copy the custom ROM.zip into the phone again).
However, after I formatted data, Recovery says no OS to boot.
When i boot the phone, i'm stuck on the HTC white screen.
I downloaded 3 RUU.exe files (2 asia & 1 euro, my phone is for Asian market) but they are all incorrect versions.
I'm using Hasoon tool to ADB sideload the custom ROM.zip, the screen appears: Starting ADB sideload feature... & it takes forever....
nothing moving...
Please advice & help.
Thank you

[Q] HTC One Bricked (bootloop)

Hello folks,
During update from Revolution HD 3.4 to 3.5 something went wrong and process stopped before it got finished. Now I ended up in bootloop, even recovery is not working. I've tried to use RUU but failed on CID verification as I'm having the phone from 3 IE. Is any chance to bring it back to life or i just got very expensive paper weight ?
Or if anyone can provide RUU for 3 IE I'm willing to pay for it.
Bad day, bad day...
Thank you for any advice.

Thanks, for hint. Got recovery working again
What I have done.
1.) Unlocked, re-locked bootloader.. (i think this did the trick, full wipe ?)
2.) Wiped cache
3.) Re-flash clockworkmod
4.) Upload ROM using sideload.
Now the phone is back. I hope i will not break something again.
Hi, I am having the same issue with my phone as of right now. I tried re-locking bootloader and then unlocking again and also reflashing clockwork and I am still getting the bootloop and cannot access recovery (flashes for 0.1 secs and then disappears).
What exactly did you do to fix the issue?

Hi Riyal,
I have fixed that issue with fastboot erase cache. Now, I am having a problem loading a ROM because it states in recovery that it "can't mount SD card"?
Figured it out, I just had to ADB push a stock rom and then re-wipe/re-flash

I had the same problem, going to try to sideload this stock de-odexed rom (didn't work the first few times) and CHILL THE PHUCK out until AOKP.
scared me lol first HTC device, brand new, and I thought I broke it.
P.S I realized that REVOHD uses AROMA, that's why it wouldn't sideload.... Am I Rite?

My HTC One device is actually suffering the same problem.
I bought my HTC One Sprint(Sim-Free Edition) in the US and got it to India.
But after I inserted my Indian Sim it said ''SIM LOCK ENABLED''.....I just got frustrated and
rooted the device and tried to install ''Android RevolutionHD (Odexed)'' Stock ROM with the help of TWRP.
But after I installed the stock rom, my device is just showing the HTC symbol and hanging there itself.
It Hangs there for around 6-7mins and reboots and the same happens again.
The only thing I can do is to get in to the bootloader and Power OFF the Device.
Any Help???? Please..... just having a costly paper weight since 2 weeks.
Please need help urgently....!!!
Hi
Greetings,
Did you flashed boot.IMG if no
Extract the boot.img from the Rom
Copy that file to abd/fastboot folder
Now connect you phone with pc with your phone booted in fastboot/bootloader,
Later flash boot.img by following command
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Reboot and your done
If you do not know how to use abd search for it

The Sprint version is never going to work on any carrier other than Sprint. It's a CDMA device. The sim slot if for connecting to Sprint's LTE network, but requires a CDMA connection first and foremost to work at all.

I'm stuck on the same boat :\
I was able to finally boot into CWM recovery but I'm getting write errors all over the place.
I used the AIO Kit to re-lock the bootloader and unlock it - Reflashed CWM - Tried to sideload ARHD 10.0 but the DOS prompt errors out saying that it cannot find my device.
Little help?

i was going through the same thing yesterday and i thought i had bricked my phone. what i did that finally worked, was unplugging the usb, restarting the computer, reinstalling htc drivers, then restarting the computer, then using a different usb port. i was finally able to sideload ARHD whereas before i could do fastboot commands, but it wasn't responding to the sideload, and wasn't able to mount the sdcard, so i thought i was screwed. :good:

Thanks for the tip, I was able to get back into AROMA but the original issue that got me to this point came up again. Aroma installer runs and during the install it kicks itself out and sends me back to recovery, so the installer doesn't complete. It gets to about 30% and craps out just after it writes system data and starts to install the .apk's. Screen goes black and it reboots itself and sends me to recovery.

HTC One root that really works

hey everyone !!
firstly, apologies if this should be somewhere else or if ive repeated someone else's problem.
hope you can help. ive got an HTC One and im trying to root it because i want to install a custom rom. ive tried lots and lots of ways including rom manager, superuser, fastboot, superboot. TWRP, CWM and your all in one toolkit but everything fails.. i was wondering if i have a problem with the internal storage. i tried to transfer a jpeg to the phone using HTC sync manager. i left it to transfer and went to work. 8 hours later the progress bar hadnt moved. i tried to transfer a boot image and it keeps timing out. rom manager comes back with errors when i do anything. for example if i try to go into fix permissions i get "an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands" im beginning to think that rooting this mobile is an impossibility. please help !!!

You won't have S-Off unless you have it unlocked from the get go, ie a developers phone.
All you need to do is follow everything from this thread and youre good to go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792&highlight=how+to+root
The whole process should take about half an hour max as if you haven't made an account with HTC dev unlock then you will have to, they will send you a key once you send them the read out from your phone.
It's a really easy procedure to be honest.

hey dude
as i said the bootloader is already unlocked so i dont have to do all that again. the method u suggest is one of the many i already tried and it didnt work. its info is all wrong. it keeps referring to the SD card. The HTC one doesnt come with an SD card ??? it has internal storage.
Graeme
Don't forget to erase cache after you flashed your recovery, this can cause many problems.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
If you don't erase cache, this could be your problem.
Possible solution :
Did you try this method? Don't use any All-in-One tool to do this, do take the time to do this manually via an SDK/ADB command window (see my signature if it is not installed on your computer)
Download the boot.img HERE made by Paul O'Brien and the CWM recovery by Flyhalf205 HERE place both files in your platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Reboot into Bootloader mode
Plug your USB cable and make certain that FASTBOOT USB is highligted
At the prompt type>fastboot flash boot boot.img
Success message
Again at the prompt type>fastboot erase cache
Success message
At the prompt type>fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your phone will reboot in Bootloader mode
At the prompt type>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Success message
Againt at the prompt type>fastboot erase cache
Success message
At the prompt type>fastboot reboot
Once rebooted check if you have the Superuser application in the app Drawer
Did you manage to get recovery installed ok?

Rooting Problem

Hello today I attempted something that I thought was going to be a quick video tutorial fix. I tried Rooting my HTC one. I followed several guides and read many posts I easily managed to unlock my phone. The problem started when trying to flash the recovery onto my phone, first I tried through commands: fastboot flash recovery and I received the error (FAILED data transfer failure unknown error) I've searched for 7 hours looking for a fix. Since I cant root reverting back to a fresh install is impossible, I cant find a RUU for telus, (I live in canada). I just don't know what to do, when I try to flash anything my bootloader freeze, drivers are up to date, tried restarting computer. Used One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0 doesn't work. This is a nightmare come save me before I jump off a cliff.
EDIT: What I did from beginning was followed this video "How to Root the HTC One-FlamingArio"to the point where you try and flash the recovery fastboot. That didnt work so after trying to fix that I tried How To Root HTC One & Unlock Bootloader - Easiest & User Friendly- The smoking Android ( super boot a 1 click install) that made my bootloader screen turn to tampered. after that I tried One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.
Note in all in one kit I did erase cache and standard recovery works fine, I've re-installed it may times.
Cant post links yet but I gave video names.
EDIT: when I do the cmd fastboot devices my device shows up when I do adb devices nothing shows up could this be part of the problem?
Thank you all for your help, I re-installed all the programs on my laptop and redid all the steps and it worked. Bye!
Try this in ABD fastboot erase cache then flash the recovery again i hope this helps:fingers-crossed:
What did you do from the beginning? Could you post a step by step traceback of what got you to this point? Let's see if you missed any steps

Keep an eye on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302870
Many people are looking for the Telus RUU.
Can you still access standard recovery? If so try reverting to factory settings (all data will be lost) and try to boot.
If you can get it to boot you should have more luck in trying to root your device.
I know that I had some issue's trying to get root on my device. But once I got S-off with revone, I was able to install root no problem.

Nice to see you sorted it
Assuming you have actually flashed a recovery image to your device, you will then need to push a ROM to your sd card so that you can flash it in recovery.
Just do the following:
1. I am guessing you have the HTC drivers installed on your PC.
2. Download the attached adb.zip and unzip it to a folder on your C drive and call the folder whatever you like.
3. Boot your device into recovery and plug it in to a powered USB port on your PC.
4. Navigate to the folder that you just created on your PC and copy your ROM zip into it. rename the ROM zip to 'rom.zip' to make life easy.
5. Inside the folder, press and hold the shift key and right click in a blank part of the window and select 'Open command window here' (screenshot attached).
6. Type 'adb push rom.zip /sdcard' (don't use the quote marks)
7. Press 'enter'
8. Once the zip has finished being pushed to your sdcard, you can reboot into recovery and then flash it as normal.
EDIT: That will teach me not to read to the very end of a post. I'll leave this here for someone else.

[Q] HTCONE - possibly brick ? Cm11 update issue.

( I posted this elsewhere, but i guess its beter in the actual HTCONE section) , mod feel free to delete my other one, thank you.
Good afternoon, !!!
First and foremost , I want to thank you all in advance for ANY and help, time & consideration with my current issue. I will try my best to be clear, and give all relevant info here in my first post. Please bear with me, I am pretty good when it comes to following directions, but i havent been able to find a CLEAR solution to this yet, and worried about further screwing up my phone.
** I use a mac. I currently dont have access to a PC, so i am looking for a mac remedy if possible.
I have an HTCONE m7. Tmobile.
- Bootloader - Unlocked
- S- ON
- Rooted
I kept getting a OTA software update notice for 5.14xxx, i understand the install kept failing due to the bootloader being unlocked and/or root. So after being annoyed for not able to get it, i began googling ways to get the update but to no avail. So i decided to do CM11, & recovery which i installed with no problem via, Cyanogenmod Installer.
After doing so, i realized i lost my Tmobile Wifi Calling (Yes, my own fault for not further checking that scenario before doing cm11), The wifi calling is needed 10000%, due to bad service in my apartment. Prior to finding out that cm11 doesnt contain the tmobile wifi calling , I attempted another system update thru the phone, (I assume it was updating cm11).
This is where the problem began, phone rebooted to Cyanogenmod simple recovery ,
1st few times that i tried = "apply update" > choose from internal storage , i searched different folders for the "update" file, but to no avail. The phone wouldnt start up, or install anything , and will just stay on the simple recovery. I even attempted an adb sideload. But couldnt figure that out correctly either.
After a few failed attempts, I tried wiping the phone, cache, factory reset etc. now the phone still stays on simple recovery, and all folders are gone, except for an o/ folder, that contains a clockworkmod folder, which contains nothing.
So now basically,Do i have to eventually get back to STOCK on this phone, to regain tmobile wifi calling ? IF So i need the easiest, mac friendly route to go .
Again, i thank you ALLLLL in advance, & my apologies if this is in the wrong section. Please note ive done my fair share of googling , and reading up on this. But consistently run into a problem.

Here is a TWRP nandroid backup. You will have to put TWRP 2.6.3.3 on your phone. You will unzip the file and the resulting folder you will put on your phone in the following directory: //sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/<Serial #>/<Name_of_folder>. If you are not able to get TWRP on your phone and the folder on your phone then you will need to find a Windows machine. Here is what you will need to do:
** Extract the RUU and grab the rom.zip file. This is the most important file you need from the RUU and afterwards you can delete the RUU exe if you want. To get the rom.zip from your RUU exe file, you just need to run the RUU exe file once, and then when the window is ready and waiting for you to press on the "Next" button, just leave it open and go to your temp folder. I'm using Windows XP SP3 32-bit and my temp folder is located at this path: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp. Now, you will see several files and folders. Sort everything in that temp folder based on "Date Modified" with the most recent folder showing up above all other folders. This is the folder you want. The folder name will be bunch of letters and numbers. Inside that folder you will find several files, but what you need is rom.zip and android-info.txt. Copy both these files and paste them somewhere safe on your hard drive. The android-info.txt contains crucial information about the compatibility of that RUU for your phone.
** Go to your bootloader. Do:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
This will reboot your HTC One and you will see a black screen with a silver HTC logo. Now, you will need to access the rom.zip file and flash it. I have copied my rom.zip to my adb folder located at: C:/mini-sdk/rom.zip. So, type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip C:/mini-sdk/rom.zip
Don't touch anything during the flash process. It will start and after some time, you will see FAILED error. Don't worry; it's the file preparation process if you have firmware higher than that of the RUU. Just do the same command again and the flash process will complete successfully this time. Look at the Command Prompt to know when the flash is complete. At the same time if you look at your phone, you will notice a green progress bar. When the flashing is complete on the Command Prompt, you will notice that the green bar is stuck at about 95%. This is normal. It's just a bug in the progress bar - what matters is the output from the Command Prompt window.
** Then, you reboot. Do:
Code:
fastboot reboot
This will restart your phone. Let it boot up. It might take a little longer for the first boot up sequence. You will then have completely stock software (firmware & ROM). Go to your bootloader and check that you are S-ON/OFF and Bootloader lock/unlock are unchanged from before the RUU rom.zip flashing procedure. You can now also receive OTA updates.

Go to your bootloader and check that you are S-ON/OFF and Bootloader lock/unlock are unchanged from before the RUU rom.zip flashing procedure. You can now also receive OTA updates.

Thanks for the info !!!,
But right off of the top, i am confused. I am currently downloading TMRP nandroid back up, as you said in beginning. Thing is i am unaware how to get that file onto my phone. Since it is stuck on the recovery page.... (DL is going to take a while on this machine), But if this fails, ill probably end up just tossing the phone, as i dont know anyone , nor have access to a PC machine. Sadly.
update - will attempt to push this thru via Terminal / adb will keep u posted !
-Update .. @majmoz well, i got hold of a PC laptop, did an adb / fastboot installed, dl'd the RUU, but i cant find the file from it after running the RUU. I even did cmd - Echo %temp% to make sure i was in the correct temp folder etc. Searched every sub folder there , and no zip files , or android.txt files was found . and i sorted them as u said as well.
Will continue trying tho...
Updated again - Well this time as RUU was installing again, i went to the temp files faster, and found 2 files Rom_01 & Rom_02 both zip files. But was unable to find any android text file. So now im at a standstill.

The RUU Update Window should still be on the computer when you are looking for the files. Once the RUU goes past the first screen, the folder will be erased. You should also sort the /Temp folder by date so the most recent folder is at the top.

Keep both ROM files and save them for future use. Since you are able to use the PC, I would just run the RUU from the PC. Then in the future try to figure out how to run the two ROM files on your Mac. Just start the RUU again and let it do its thing.

Hey hey , good morning. Had some errands to do last nite then fell asleep. Going to attempt this again today . Oh, and i did run the RUU on the PC so thats where ill keep them also.
Will attempt to see if i can even connect to the phone with ADB, it seemed as if i was unable to last nite.
-update I got the phone to load to bootloader, & to fastboot usb I will try now to attempt this after coffee.. =0)
HAHAHAHHAHA ,, Oh man. Ok well being that it was pretty late last nite, and i had just woken up earlier .... I didnt realize that the RUU actually does the entire process on the PC. and that i DIDNT need to use cmd., and adb etc.
I want to thank you a TON @majmoz With my day or two of aggravation , then to just not get it right last nite.. I think i wasnt there mentally to actually read and pay attention.
My phone is in set up mode now. So i am 99% sure it is all good... Again, thanks , i definetly appreciate it !

Glad you are back in business! :good:
@majmoz Hey i tried sending a PM earlier . but i see it never went thru in my sent Messages.
Just wondering if you can help me one last time. As i stated, i MUST have tmobile wifi calling. I initially had my bootloader unlocked months ago, and only rooted it few days before this brick issue.
Now since i did this process to fix the phone, i see bootloader = Relocked.
I dont want to add any custom roms etc, I simple want to root the device again. I know when i just did it , it was quick n easy and simple. But as im googling for the process now, i cant seem to find any that is similar to what i just did a few days ago. The processes seem extremely long. I think i just added a superuser apk of sorts , and it rooted.
Thanks again !

Here is a step by step guide with pictures. This is called the HTCDev method and it is pretty standard. It just looks like a lot of steps but it isn't that bad.

[Q] Stuck on Recovery Mode with NO ROM - Htc One M7

Data:
HTC One M7
Old Rom: Revolution HD 30
Recovery: Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.0.1
Hi, simple as this; I have a Htc One M7, installed Revolution HD 30, long time ago, today I decided to upgrade it. Downloaded Revolution HD 90.
Upload the file to the storage of the phone... Enter recovery, install the pack. After that I couldnt continue I keep getting Recovery Mode loop, including after doing stuff etc.
I was tired of trying so I did a factory mode, so I erased everything. Now Im stuck at Recovery Mode, without a ROM in the phone. I have "Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.0.1"
It doesnt have an option to load Usb Storage... (so I can upload a new rom) Im screw up?
What can I do? I only found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636503) on the forum, the files to download are corrupted, and I actually dont know if that works for me.
What can I do? Do I have a solution? Im really scared...
Thanks in advice.

your recovery is too old, you need at least TWRP 2.6.3.3 for the rom you are trying to flash, so flash that first, theres no need to panic, its easy to fix, after that just push the rom to your internal sdcard and install it.

And how do I load up TWRP 2.6.3.3 I tried to do that. Searched but didnt find anything (well TWRP 2.6.3.3 yes, but dont know how to load it up if I cant acces Internal storage) cause I thought I could not load anything...because cant load the internal sdcard. How do I do that? I dont need a mega GUIDE, just simple were I can find the files and simple steps if you are so kind.
Thanks in advance.
I hope I can breath again...

I take it you didn't load up the original TWRP then.
Download my adb and fastboot files below and extract the zip to your desktop for ease.
get TWRP 2.6.3.3 from here, for ease rename it to recovery and the place it in the same folder as the adb and fastboot files that you just downloaded. (TWRP site down at the mo)
Then open a command prompt within that window by holding down control - shift - right mouse click in any area of that window and select open command window here (leave this window open all the time)
with your phone plugged into the computer and your phone on the bootloader screen and saying fastbootUSB type these commands
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after you've done that, you want to enter recovery, main screen only, still with your phone plugged in and put the rom.zip file in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, with the command window still open type:
adb push name-of-rom.zip /sdcard/

take between 5 and 10 mins to push and will look like its doing nothing, it will let yo9u know when its done though.
unplug your phone when its done and flash your rom
