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.

I can see the recovery screen (clockworkmod) for about 0.1 second and it reboots again.

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.
thoughts?
Hey guys
I just rooted my HTC One yesterday and installed a custom rom on it, all went well until my brain went stupid and formatted data, system, sdcard and i had no nandroid backup in place. I just upgraded from a HTC One X and from what i know, previously i could just flash CWM and mount usb and it'll go work normally. However, for my situation now, none of the recoveries actually allow me to mount usb.
Also, i'm on 1.29.404 and i can't find any RUUs that is the same as this. I also cant execute adb push for rom because my computer doesnt recognise my phone in adb devices. Can anyone help me out with this issue ?
cheers!
Hi
Greetings,
Install HTC drivers for abd to recognize your phone, this will help you to atempt abd sideload and also fastboot commands
Flash the recovery againg
"fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery-.img"
And try again by adb sideload this is your last option before flashing a ruu

I'm in a similar boat, did a "format data" in TWRP and now I can't boot. I can access the phone via ADB tho. I'll let you know if I find a solution.
Same thing here
I also did the same thing. However, I can't boot into recovery at all; It says its about to boot into recovery, then the phone just turns off. The only thing I can do is boot into the bootloader, and lock or unlock it. Right now, its unlocked. I've tried everything. I would love to just use an ruu exe., but the only one I've found isn't working for my phone for whatever reason. I kept getting error 132 signature error. The ruu I was using was "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3" I was using a similar version ( I think it was 1.29.300 or something), and yes, I relocked my bootloader before using the ruu; If anyone knows of a different, newer version, or really, anything at all that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey thanks for replying; Unfourtently, even after reflashing twrp and clearing the cache, it still just shows the entering recovery mode and the restarts. In fact, now it is constantly restarting until I boot it into bootloader and power the system down that way. Any other suggestions?

that RUU won't work because you have to match your version-main to the RUU you are about to flash, if that version-main doesn't match than you will get that error 132 which is normal in your case... if you want to know which is your version main just type
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

Thanks; I've found the correct ruu, but now I have a new problem. As of right now its .zip and not .exe; I cant boot into recovery and adb isnt working either. Any suggestions for getting it on the phones memory, seeing as there is no sd card I can remove?
I had my phone booting the entering recovery screen for about half a sec and would always boot back into the OS so I installed TWRP through fastboot than went to factory reset in the hboot menu and it booted into recovery it worked for me but Idk if it will work for you

Have you tried "fastboot -w" this will factory reset your phone from fastboot. Then try re-flashing recovery again.

I've had this problem on the one x plus, what I did and please bear with me, it does work Firstly flash cwm and clear cache, once you have done that you should be able to boot recovery. Once in cwm format everything including data! yep I said data! then reboot back to fastboot and flash TWRP and rewipe everything again (including data) then sideload or push your rom across to your phone.
Done this twice now on mine when I got bricked (for no reason!) I can only think the file system becomes corrupt somehow.
alright guys, i solved the issue and my phone is back to normal !
to those guys still facing the issue, i suggest you flash the latest cwm then try using the sideload function > adb sideload <filename.zip>
mine came back to life after that, heh
cheers!
Also fixed
Hey guys, thanks so much for everyones help last night. I also got mine all fixed and set away. For anyone interested, I used the ruu and steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
Thanks again to everyone for their help!
I just got my HTC One less than a week ago, rooted and flashed my first ROM with no issues. Decided to try out a different one today, but after flashing it, my phone rebooted into bootloader and has been stuck there. Anytime I try to reboot the phone or reboot into recovery, it just goes back to the bootloader screen. Same thing when I attempt a factory reset. I've tried reinstalling TWRP recovery and although it says the install is successful, it's still stuck in bootloader. I also tried to install my previous ROM via fastboot command (which is failing), but to no avail. I got the following output:
sending 'zip' (994092 KB)...
OKAY [ 38.486s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) zip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)
finished. total time: 54.083s
I'm on the Sprint version, and I'm aware that 4.2 ROMs don't work on Sprint yet so I'd be using older versions of them for the time being, but I guess I inadvertently used an incorrect version.
Any ideas?
hmm...must really be bricked. :-\
if it is booting into bootloader, it is not bricked...
try connecting your USB cable , select fastboot in bootloader... it should show the FASTBOOT USB
now on your PC, where you have the ADB/Fasboot files, SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK on that folder and select Open command window here.
In command window, enter FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE
and try booting again...it might work.....

Try using the HTC one AIO toolkit to flash a new recovery and see if that helps.
It uses the FASTBOOT method to flash. Plus you have options to try CWM and TWRP.
If that works you should be able to flash a different rom to get your device up and running

When I click to flash a recovery, it gives me a prompt that there will be 2 screens and to close the 1st one once I'm in bootloader...I do that, then the 2nd screen comes up but nothing happens. Same thing for both the Sprint options

Profit! Turns out the flash your own recovery option worked, I just didn't follow it all the way through, initially...after I closed the command prompt screen, the Open file menu came up and I was able to pick my TWRP recovery and boot into it. I restored my backup I made right before flashing the bad ROM and the phone is booting past the bootloader now
But.....next issue is that it's booting to a black screen instead of the regular lock screen, and after sitting there in that state for a few minutes, it reboots. :-\ I'm wondering if this is just because I deactivated the phone and switched back to my EVO LTE while trying to fix the One...that would be a first, though, as the phones are usually operational even if they don't have service.

Well, flashing and restoring didn't quite work, so I wound up having to do a factory reset (thankfully I had all my files on my PC from when I had to move them from my EVO, and since I'd only upgraded a few days ago, I didn't lose a whole lot) and a re-lock of the bootloader.
Only weird thing is, even re-locking it, the phone remained in S-OFF state. But I was able to rerun the HTC Dev Unlock to unlock the bootloader again and flashed a correct ROM. Back in business.
Thanks for your help...that toolkit you linked me to saved my ass.

To be S-ON again you need to reboot into bootloader
Then FASTBOOT USB
then run fastboot and write "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and enter. Now you will be S-ON
But do NOT S-ON unless you absolutely need to.
Hello XDA I'm new to these forums but i'm hoping you can help me out.
So basically I was following a youtube video I was linked to by a guide on here on how to root my One. and everything was going smoothly and then i got to the stage where i was to boot into recovery mode so i could load into twrp. But what happens on my phone now is the loading screen for recovery mode where it says for developers only ect. will just hang there for a while then the phone will shut off and boot back into regular mode. could use some help. I wouldn't mind resetting and starting fresh if that's what's needed im just not sure how to. thank you guys!

do you have sdk tools installed on your computer.
make sure usb debugging is on, apperently you do.
did you put the recovery image in the folder where fastboot is then run cmd(as administrator) and cd to that folder(example/:cd c:/Program Files/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools or where ever you have it)then adb reboot bootloader>enter----Then fastboot flash recovery(name of recovery image).img>enter--- then type fastboot reboot recovery

no i wouldn't think you do, it just overwrites the other, you're sure your bootloader is unlocked, check in settings under development option to make sure debugging is on.man you got me stumped here.

Are you typing "fastboot erase cache" without the quotes after you flash the recovery?

Perhaps i'm just being extremely retarded. I am unlocked but not rooted, i thought this was how to get rooted. but maybe im just far off.

NO, you are NOT retarded, you install recovery, then su to get root, for all intent and purposes you're doing it all right, just can't figure out why it's not working, one more redundant question, you have fastboot under power settings disabled?? Just tryin to cover all the bases
you are installing the recovery for the m7wls(m7spr)?

in settings under power scroll to the bottom fastboot is there.
Sorry i guess i phrased that wrong. i'm sure fastboot is unchecked, i was asking about the second part of your post, about "you are installing the recovery for the m7wls(m7spr)?"

Hey guys, I need some major help!
I was trying to update my phone earlier today, when I flashed Android Revolution HD 40.3 something very bad happened!
For some reason the ROM did not install properly, and I can't get back into recovery. I was using TWRP and the loading screen comes up for it, but it never fully launches.
I can get into the bootloader, and I tried using the Toolkit under fastboot. It seems like my phone is detected, but when I try and flash anything it doesnt work. Ive flashed both TWRP and clockword. They seem to flash because it will show the loading screen of either one, but it never actually enters the recovery. What should I do?
My phone is S-ON, I am not sure if that is what caused the problem/is what is keeping this an issue.
Thanks for your help

Does the phone just reboot before it enters recovery? I would try manually flashing a custom recovery image. Here is a link to the exact image I used.

It's very straightforward once you have fast boot setup. Don't worry I've been in your situation myself!

Was your phone S-ON?? It seems that there are fixes when it is S-OFF, but not S-ON

My phone was S-ON at the time, I recently gained S-OFF. You should still be able to flash a new recovery with S-ON. S-OFF is usually only needed for flashing new radios or firmwares.

How did you flash the recovery? Like I've said, I tried flashing a new recovery via the Toolkit. They do seem to flash, but I cant access the recovery. I'm not sure if my bootloader was relocked or what, but it doesn't go past the intro screen for TWRP or Clockwork

It could be possible that the toolkit is installing an incorrect version maybe? Switch off your phone. Once off hold vol - and power the phone on. This should load up HBOOT and tell you the boot loader status.
This is how I flashed recovery. I entered fastboot and used the commands from that link to flash a new recovery image. Have you used fastboot commands before?

To be honest, I'm pretty new to the fastboot commands. I usually follow guides to root, and flashing ROMs is pretty straightforward.

If you have fastboot setup and working, just boot the phone into fastboot mode and use the commands in that link I gave you.
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Then simply highlight "recovery", tap the power button and the phone should load up clockwordmod recovery.
Easy

This is going to make me sound incompetent, but to use fastboot commands I just need to install the ADT Bundle from google for developers?

It doesn't make you sound incompetent at all! Yes its just the bundle, then the drivers should be installed with that too. If you're not 100% sure there are plenty of guides online on how to setup fastboot.
For example: http://techbeasts.com/2013/08/26/how-to-install-adb-fastboot-drivers-on-your-windows-pc-guide/

Ah, no dice. I followed all the steps, everything seemed to work (thanks for the guide). It flashed the recovery okay. When I restarted the phone, it goes into recovery, shows clockwork mod recovery, version XX and then proceeds to try and boot into my regular system

Hm, that's really strange. So recovery tried to boot, but the phone restarts and tried to boot normally?
Did you try running the command "fastboot erase cache" in fastboot mode?

Yeah, basically it goes back and forth between trying to get into recovery and try to boot normally but can't boot into either

OK so new recovery flashed, I would try running "fastboot erase cache". This commonly fixed issues with recoveries failing to boot.
