To use ADB or Fastboot your phone has to be in USB Debugging mode Set this in Settings/Developer Options on the phone.
My HTC One is bricked and is not starting, HOW should I do that?

Manners cost nothing and generally help you to get a reply.
That being said, without further information it's hard to help..
What did you do to brick?
Can you get to bootloader?
Can you get to fastboot usb?
The more information you provide, the more help can be offered. Remember WE aren't holding your phone. WE can try things on it. That will fall to you, all we can do is offer suggestions based on as much information as you can provide.
If you bricked it trying to s-off or burning an RUU or accepting an OTA whilst you had a modded hboot then things might not be looking too good but without knowing, there's no help we can offer.

My HTC was kinda bricked 2 hours ago. Can't charge can't boot to recovery or boot loader . Only thing was try to reset using hold power + vol down but wasn't working . The capacitive buttons keep flashing forever
But I used the adb commands to get it back booting to recovery .
U need the adbfiles in the same folder as cmd command prompt usually it's win 32 if u start it in administration mode .
Type adb reboot bootloader

From my understanding I think its hard to brick the HTC one unless if u mess up the bootloader

its best to put it in the same folder as the cmd starts from

Also its advisable to keep à rom zip handy in yr sdcard . In case things go wrong u dont need to rely on adb commands

hey guys,
thanks for the post and the info. I am hoping I can get some help. I recently upgraded to a new ATT - HTC Vivid. I guess I was impatient in wanting to root and flash ROM so I used the [TOOL] HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.2 to "un-lock bootloader" and get root. Afterwards I realized the phone had/has old software/rom (no ICS beats audio etc) - I tried updating the software manually and it would not take - kept getting error messege. Then I got notification that ATT/HTC was trying to "push" the update to my phone but when I tried to install the update it would not work. I keep getting what looks like a dead android with chest open with red exclamation point. I tried a few times and still nothing. so after some research I came across this thread. I am still a "noob" at this I guess so I could really use some help, please. I believe I have to "re-lock bootlaoder" but I am confused as to how to go about this. for example, how do you, "TRY FLASHING THE WCXRECOVERY.IMG USING FASTBOOT FIRST?" - please help! lol like I said - I'm still a noob I guess
I tried the video but it only further confused me

please help!!!! I really need it. I tried using your tutorial to re-lock my Vivid and update ROM to ICS. I got through the first part where I re-locked the phone ut when I got to the part to "unlock" again before flashing recovery I get the "Unlock bootloader" screen and I use volume button to select yes and hit power button but that's it - it's stuck at that scree and will not go further. now my phone won't start normally if I try etc and I even got a red exclamation etc - Please help, I dont know what I did wrong but now I have no phone!!!!!
Thanks a bunch for any and all help
This should probably be in the General forum, not development...
If you pull your battery, then put it back in, then hold VOLDOWN button and the POWER button, do you get into Bootloader mode?
If you can, choose Fastboot mode, and then connect your phone to the PC. (I'm assuming you have the right driver(s) installed so you can issue Fastboot commands to the phone?)
If you've gotten that far, and want to re-lock your bootloader using fastboot, the fastboot command is:
"fastboot oem lock"
Run that in a command prompt window. Make sure you have navigated to the folder that has fastboot.exe, of course. Are you familiar with using command prompt?
Once your bootloader is relocked, you can re-start your phone into bootloader mode, and then flash your stock carrier's RUU using your PC... I hope this helps.

thanks a bunch!!! I'm still a "noob" I guess and I will re-post in General. In the meantime, I can get into Bootloader mode but I am already "Relocked" - from what I understand at this point I was supposed to "Unlock" again and flash recovery using "unlock bin" but at the unlock bootloader screen on my phone after I select yes and press power button nothing happens. my phone freezes at that ponit. I dont know what to do now. any help is greatly appreciated.

I wonder (since you are already re-locked), if you should consider flashing your phones stock RUU (so the phone will be back to stock).
Then unlock your bootloader via HTCDEV again...
Then you can flash a custom recovery, then you can do a nandroid backup of your phone... then you can do your wipes and install a rom?
thanks again for responding, much appreciated. I wish I knew how to flash back to stock. I'm at a loss or stuck right now.I just found the stock RUU and I'm trying to download it but once I get it how do I flash it back to stock? That is actually what Ive been trying to do. You see I recently upgraded to the Vivid and "unlocked bootloader" and "rooted" before I realized I had old software (no ICS - beats audio etc). So after some research I read that I had to "re-lock" so that is what I was trying to do before I got stuck. what do you think I should do fromhere? I'd really like to at least get my phone working again with stock even, just working.
thanks again,
Rafael

OK. So since you are relocked, you should be able to flash your stock RUU.
The RUU is an EXE file. Just run it on your PC (with your phone, in fastboot mode, connected to the PC). It will detect the phone and perform the flashes and when it's finished, your phone will be like stock again.
Yeah...just use ruu like you would any other pc program...it will walk you through the steps in the program...
As for beats...I had beats audio on stock gingerbread? Confused why you don't...I only had gingerbread for a couple days before upgrading but I remember seeing the beats icon in notification...

I tried what you said and I got an error message (error 104) and it would not update/flash the ROM. I am stuck.
and when my phone restarted I ended up with the red exclamation point in a triangle again. any more ideas? I hope I did not "brick" my phone.

What is the exact file name of the RUU you are using?
Also, when your phone was working, what was the stock base that it had? Was it Gingerbread? or ICS?
From a quick google search, it seems Error 104 is "wrong hboot version". Interesting... I remember mine said that when I was trying to flash the old GB on my phone which had already been upgraded to ICS.

I tried the old ATT RUU without ICS which is what I had originally and it did not take. I got an error message (error 104). I also did not have beats audio surprisingly enough when I first got the phone which is how I realized I did not have the new/current ATT ROM ICS.

and it was originally Gingerbread
thanks guys
We really need a mod to move this to the "Q&A" section...
Anyways assuming your on completely stock gingerbread you can call this number *#*#682#*#* that will do a force update...vant be root tho, and can't have an unlocked bootloader
Edit...discard this post just read above about the red exclamation mark...can you still get to hboot? If you can...can you verify that it says "re-locked" at the top?

Do this ^^^
All that you need to do it boot n hboot then select fast boot and when you plug it in the pc it should say USB next to fast boot then just run the ruu file and it should hook you up with stock ics

I tried running the RUU and it got stuck at 34% for a while. I unplugged the phone to attempt running the RUU again and now all I can get is black screen with HTC and 4 exclamation points in the corners of the screen - please help!!!
please dont tell me I "bricked" my phone.
Can you still get into hboot ? I wouldn't unplug the phone while its doing stuff I had that issue and just stopped the program and tried again , it takes some time to finish approximately 10 min so just let it do its thing . Just fyi

That may help
The exclamation marks are a failed ruu...try running the ruu again...it should still work (I think) if not then try pulling the battery and trying again...
Yeah...next time do not pull the plug, I'm sure its still saveable tho..I've had failed ruu flashes before and it mentions something about exclamation marks in the corners, so Im pretty sure the ruu has a fix for it...if I get time ill see if I can get that info from a ruu...

[Q] **Tampered/Unlocked**

Hello Forum..
First, I'd like to acknowledge the great All-In-One tool posted for this new phone. I have been rooting Android since the HTC hero and have always trusted this site for development info. That being said...
I am having problems with my brand new HTC one... After using the All In One tool, my booloader is unlocked, but above the "Unlocked" info is says "Tampered". Also.... I cannot flash the TWRP so I can boot to recovery. After the CMD screens, is says flash is successful, but when I try and boot to recovery, I get the HTC screen with the pink font saying "Entering Recovery" but then my HTC One just shuts off. I then have to hold down the power button for at least 45 second b4 the phone turns back on.
1. What did I do wrong, and can this be fixed??
2. I see I can re-lock bootloader with tool, but there is currently no Factory RUU for Sprint yet????
3. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Wow....thanks for the fast response... I have been trying to flash the TWRP several times... but it just wont boot to recovery. My phone just hangs and then shuts off. Then I get the "Sprint" splash screen and start-up
Did you have any insite on why I get the "Tampered" indication along with the "Unlocked"??
Im assuming its because youve flashed twrp. Mine says the same.

I can help, first I need to know which HTC One you have, what carrier.
Once youve found out which carrier head over to the sticky with all the stock RUUs and download the one for your phone and carrier (if youre soff then just download anyone) then hold power and vol down to get into bootloader, press fastboot. Plug in your phone and dont touch it... Open up command prompt (assuming youre on windows) and go to your fastboot location... Type in "fastboot oem lock" wait for it to relock youe bootloader... Then type "fastboot rebootRUU" then wait til your phone shows a different screen, the RUU one. Now open up the RUU .exe and run it. Your phone will now be at stock.
That should work if you have fastboot working.

I don't suppose you could do the same for me?, I'm in exactly the same boat, Factory unlocked HTC One, can only get into bootloader and TWRP, no OS installed, can't get mass storage or HTC MTP drivers installed so not way to get a new OS on...... I'm an idiot., If anyone can help I would appreciate., tried the steps in post 2 but command prompt just says waiting for device.
Sorry for the thread hijack, its just that its virtually exactly the same as whats happened to me.

[Q] Is it dead

Hey guys,
I'm writing from Bosnia, and hope that I will not be such a pain in the neck or something, but I would really appreciate some assistance if it is possible.
Few days back I got HTC Vivid 4G almost for free, phone is brand new but there seems to be a problem with it.
When I press the power on button it comes to HTC logo and stucks there
When I press power and Vol- this is what I get:
*** UNLOCKED ***
HOLIDAY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.85.0025
MICROP-0360
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226..00.0202
eMMC-boot
Mar 1 2012,17:09:49
Does this mean that the system on my phone is wiped clean, and I would appreciate if someone could give me a few pointers on how to boot the system and get it up and running again.
One more thing to mention is that when I connect phone to PC, it does not see it at all.
Hoping that you will help me I would like to thank you soo much.
Best Regards from Bosnia

Does this mean that the system on my phone is wiped clean, and I would appreciate if someone could give me a few pointers on how to boot the system and get it up and running again.
One more thing to mention is that when I connect phone to PC, it does not see it at all.
Hoping that you will help me I would like to thank you soo much.
Best Regards from Bosnia

Edo, do you have the word "Fastboot" in red on the screen? IF so you may be able to use ADB to revive it, otherwise try to unbrick using the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25501212

Since you can get to bootloader... You have 2 choices... Run an RUU... Or... You can try downloading a ROM... Use recovery to flash the ROM... And fastboot the boot.img from the ROM in fastboot...
Check the superguide in the development section for more detailed instructions...
Also... If you have the stock recovery.. You will find a custom one linked in the superguide to let you flash ROMs...

Thing which surprises me is that when I connect my phone to PC, it cannot see C drive of the phone or external card. And can you please help me with ROM installation procedure without 'locking and unlocking the phone'. Thank you very much for helping me my friend.:good:

On windows?
If on windows... Does your computer detect new hardware?
Did you make sure to install before plugging the phone in?

Yes I do. Day before yesterday I was able to access fastboot, and then I went to sleep and in the morning my battery was dead. I tried to connect it to the charger but the orange light pops up every minute or so, than comes on and off quicker, then it boots to HTC logo and switches off again. What the heck is going on?!
I think your charge port crapped out...

Thank you very much for clarification ma friend. I will order one immediately.
What version of Windows are you running?
And as far as I know, the sd card doesn't show up if you're only connected to fastboot.
If you pull the battery, then put it back in, then plug it in to the wall... if you keep the phone off does the orange light come on? Or does it turn on and get stuck?

Rum Runner S Off help

Hey guys I am trying to restore my phone back to factory settings so I can send it in for warranty repairs (camera never Did work). I have the bootloader unlocked and it is rooted with the Viper custom rom installed.
I have been having a lot of trouble with attaining S-Off though. the program stops at "bottles are packed, here we go, shhhhhh....
waiting for device
heh, just a shot glass for this one....
ERROR: run rumrunner again.
Press ENTER to exit
What am I doing wrong?
ps: my phone is not picked up by cmd prompt when I run adb devices but will by typing in fastboot devices. Is this an issue?
Thanks a ton!
Are drivers properly installed? I am assuming that you are using windows so under Computer>Properties>Device Manager does your PC see your phone as HTC One?
Had a similar problem and i just installed htc sync manager for the drivers and the removed it
If else, you could try disabling antivirus, although i don't think it would make much of a difference to be honest, but better safe than sorry
Yeah you need to have adb working, when on the homescreen, open cmd prompt and type "adb devices", making sure that you have developers options on

Stock ROM, CWM Recovery
I have ADB from the home screen I have discovered. The drivers seem to be installed fine as the Soju program can get fastboot and adb access the multiple times it checks for it.
Maybe I should try a different Rom? Do you guys have a suggestion?
I just called HTC and asked about the warranty being voided. They said that there is a chance I will be charged. The woman said that if the camera malfunction is because of the motherboard I will be charged.
She said it would be between 200 and 90$ depending on if it is the motherboard or not and if warranty covers it. I pried for details and definites but got none.
So I would love to get the phone back to stock so I don't have to take this chance. Thank you so much.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you disable Windows firewall and antivirus (+firewall of your antivirus too) it does stop rumrunner from working, o experienced the same thing

Hi, did you find a fix to the problem? I got the same issue, even try running rumruner on a ubuntu live CD.
