Trouble with ONE

I'm having trouble with my phone. I am not a n00b, but i wouldn't call myself a professional either.
I've tried both revone and moonshine to root and flash a custom recovery and S-OFF, and none of them are having any success
I'm guessing i need recovery to work in order to flash the root files.
Every time i try flash the TWRP recovery (2.6), the CMD window reports success, but when the phone tries to boot into the recovery, all i get is a quick flash of a screen that looks like the one with the red warnings at the bottom, and then it reboots again going straight to my home screen
Take a look at my phone stats below, and let me know if it's compatible or not with current root/recovery/S-Off methods

In fastboot have you tried running
Code:
fastboot erase cache
then try rebooting into recovery?
Also you might want to clear out your serial number that you posted

Flash the recovery until you can see the tampered string
However, go s-off before flash the custom recovery, revone method don't need this

I have the same problem, going to try some of the above see if anything helps. Whats the recomended method.. what ive done so far
1) unlocked bootloader (shows unlocked)
2) flashed recovery
3) erased cache
Booting recovery essentially shows a screen flash (text that i cant read) and then boots the phone as normal. Do i need to worry about S-OFF ? as i didn't when i had a HTC one before (this is my second device)

Erasing cache didn't help.
I've tried using revone to S-Off, but i either get error -2 or error -6.
Really frustrating not knowing what those error codes mean to know what i need to change to have some success :/
With moonshine, i get about 2-3 reboots in, and then it fails telling me to unlock the bootloader with HTC - WHICH I ALREADY HAVE!!!
When i left my OneX because i couldn't S-OFF it, and went to the ONE, i thought S-OFF would've been as easy as it was with my Desire... obviously not

Thing is, i dont consider myself a Pro, but ive unlocked and flashed roms/recoveries on a fair number of android phones. I've had 2 HTC one's (this one, and a white one before it) the same process worked fine for the first HTC one - this one (recently bought) isnt having any of it.
Wondering if there is a problem with recent versions - same issue with OpenRecovery and Clockwork TOuch. The HTC one i have is a black 32GB asian model (ordered through mobility.com.au this week)

Everyone have the Tampered string?

Tampered string ? when ? usually i see that string when i'm booting a custom recovery. In this case the screen isnt on long enough to boot it, it's literally a flash of red text (fraction of a second) then it boots back into normal boot.
When should i see the tampered that you mention ?

When you will flash the recovery, you will see in bootloader screen the ****TAMPERED**** String.
IF you don't have this, you don't have the recovery installed.

Hmmm....
Something flashes very quickly before rebooting normally when i try to boot into recovery after a successful flash (aparently)
Dont think it's the TAMPERED string.
There's about 4-5 lines of red text at the bottom that comes up too quickly to read any of it.
I have the 64Gb version.
Android: 4.1.2
Software: 1.29.980.17
Kernel: 3.4.10-gcf4caea

In the HBOOT screen, it says the build date is May 3 2013

Strange, if you will flash the 2.5 version of the TWRP, it will work fine?

My bootloader says ' *** UNLOCKED ***' and obviously 'FASTBOOT USB' in bed.
Dont see tampered anywhere...on it.
When i try to go to boot recovery screen goes back, flash of 'some text' too fast to read' then back to normal HTC boot and back to normal boot.

So, try to reflash the recovery until you will see tampered in the top of the screen

How many times ? i think i've spam flashed it maybe 30 times ? no tampered.

I was trying the 2.5 version initially, with no luck.
The process i'm doing from home screen is:
ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER
(it reboots into bootloader. wait for fastboot-usb)
FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY OPENRECOVERY-TWRP-2.5.0.0-M7.IMG
sending 'recovery' (8006 KB)
OKAY [ 1.232s ]
writing 'recovery'
OKAY [ 0.064s ]
finished. total time: 1.872s
FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE (just in case measure)
erasing 'cache'
OKAY [ 0.062s ]
finished. total time: 0.062s
FASTBOOT REBOOT-BOOTLOADER
wait for phone to reboot to bootloader
select bootloader
select recovery
white HTC screen shows
something flashes quickly
phone switches off and switches back on to boot normally
no recovery

Waiit people, do you have fastboot on into the Settings -> Battery?

Ooops
feel like a n00b now.
When i first got the phone, i had switched it off.
Then i unlocked the bootloader via HTC.
Didn't realise when it factory wiped the phone, it'd be resetting the fastboot. (well DUH!)
NOW i have the tampered on the top! (dont mind the excitement here - it means i'm one step closer)
and we have success!!!!!!
GUICH, if you were here, i'd shmooch you!
Thanks for all your help and patience.
Maybe now i might be able to root and S-OFF the phone.
Have to feed my 4 month old who's been crying for my attention the last 30 mins, and then pick up the wife from work.
Will report back tonight if i have any troubles or successes.
Thanks again

Fastboot is OFF in settings -> Battery for me...

Exactly the same for me, and i have fastboot OFF in settings battery.
Edit : Ok this is v.odd, turned fastboot off and on again, no change. Then did a hard reset on phone (as in press and hold power), then it booted back up, then dod ./adb reboot recovery and it went into recovery fine. Seems like the Fastboot was stuck on ON somehow ?

[Q] [HELP] INCREDIBLE S goes in infinite boot loop

I have got an issue with HTC incredible S going in boot loop. The phone is 2 yrs old and was running fine with official ICS installed on it. One fine day it just hung and after restart went into bootlaoder.
HBOOT is unlocked, rooted, and S-ON
HBOOT-2.02.002
RADIO-3831.18.00.11_M
I have tried a lot of things like stock ICS rom, recovery cleanup, cache+dalvik clean-up using recovery, RUU installation etc.
However, it refuses to get repiared . It runs fine for say a day after stock rom update and then starts throwing exception like process android.acore.*** has stopped or similar and after restart again goes to bootloader.
I have tried different RUUs, however, none of theme seems to support and some say error 171 related to customer Id.
Tried to create goldcard but revskills site is down.
So bottomline is I have tried everything possible, and now I think my phone is bricked
Any other suggestions you may have?

Anyone?????? EXperts PLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZ help me out.......................

Whoa !!! Where've all the experts gone ........

1. take down all the imei and stuff like that cuz u really dont want other people to know that stuff.
2. Make sure adb and fastboot drivers are corrrectly installed
3. If its properly installed and you say ure computer can't detect your device, how did u enter command fastboot getvar all??? Is your computer detecting your device properly?

Hmm sorry for the confusion, but what I meant by *not detecting* was computer is not properly recognizing it properly.
it is running all the fastboot commands but serial id is shown as 123456789012 and charging light is not turning on.
meanwhile, i checked the drivers and they look good to me....
I am worried now

Sorry couldn't reply .. wasn't wired lately ....
No ... I am not able to go to Recovery and can not even flash it as whenever I try to flash it, it says something about writing error (Perhaps it is because of phone not being recognized)

HTC One stuck in boot loop + wont enter recovery

I have no clue what happened but I installed the newest Revolution HD rom and then my phone went and died and got stuck in bootloop but then I managed to get it to bootloader somehow (dont know how, it was magic I'm guessing)
I have it plugged in and it's in fastboot but I have literally no skill or anything when it comes to this stuff. I've tried for weeks to figure out what to do and tried understanding what's up but I actually feel even more confused than before.
I need somebody who's patient enough to explain to me in dot points, yes like a toddler, what to do from here step by step and how to get my htc one working again.

Let's just try to get your phone up and running, okay.
in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB: open a command prompt on your pc, go to your adb folder and type:
fastboot getvar all and copy/paste the output here (remove IMEI and s/n)
then
fastboot erase cache
and try to enter recovery (which one are you using by the way? including version number pls)

what version of Windows are you on? I hope Win 7; Windows 8 and 8.1 sometimes have "issues", there are solutions (I think) but you'll have to look for them.
Try manually selecting a driver, if it's Win 7 or anything like it select "Update Driver" -> "Browse..." -> "Let me choose " -> "Android USB Devices" and select the "My HTC Version: xxxxx" the latest one.

Same things happening to me. It shows the lockscreen and keeps restarting, whenever I go into my custom recovery it says "entering recovery..." and it goes back into bootloop Did you by any chance get yours fixed?

My HTC One is soft-bricked(?) and i have no idea what to do

Hello,
My phone is not rooted. It was still on factory setting, with no custom roms. I've been keeping up w/ the updates and i don't recall anything "special" happening before it was bricked yesterday night.
I tried accessing the fastboot screen (vol down + power button), and tried recovering, rebooting, and factory resetting, and they all sent it back to a freezing boot screen.
Using Hasoon2000's HTC One All-In-One Toolkit, I tried to boot it into bootloader, after a couple of hours, I saw a black screen w/ a red triangle in the middle, and after that, it just went back to being frozen at the Htc boot screen.
I have no idea what to do, any suggestions would help.
Thank You

Since, it is completely stock and you didn't change anything, it might be a hardware issue. I would return it to HTC or your carrier for repair. The black screen with the red triangle is the stock recovery screen. The other thing you might try is run a RUU if available. Can you post a fastboot getvar all with the imei and serialno removed?

first of all, if you are not returning your device to your carrier or htc like majmoz suggested above and you want to troubleshoot it yourself, you will need to get rid of that toolkit and learn how to use ADB and FASTBOOT from a command window. Toolkits aren't the best thing when troubleshooting. They often comes with outdated stuff.
Install your HTC drivers correctly on your computer
download and install the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
do the commands cIsA told you on your other thread and post the results. The output of "fastboot getval all" could also be useful

Tried that, but still can't get my pc to recognize the device in bootloader, althought HTC sync does pop up every time i connect it.
When i type "fastboot devices" in the command prompt, nothing happens, then "fastboot clear cache" just shows "waiting for device".
I have downloaded the latest drivers, currently updating HTC Sync, hoping it'd affect something

try another usb cable, another usb port. If the drivers are correctly installed, and the usb port/cable are ok and you still can't use fastboot commands from bootloader, it might be an hardware issue.

Since, it is completely stock and you didn't change anything, it might be a hardware issue. I would return it to HTC or your carrier for repair. The black screen with the red triangle is the stock recovery screen. The other thing you might try is run a RUU if available. Can you post a fastboot getvar all with the imei and serialno removed?

Unzip this to your desktop and open a command window from it's folder (right click - command prompt here)
plug in your phone to the pc boot to the bootloader with power + volume down
type fastboot devices
your phone serial number should be listed
now type fastboot erase cache
it should say something about formatting cache
now fastboot reboot
hopefully your phone will boot back up

have you tried to perform a factory reset from the bootloader?

if your phone is still under warranty, send it for repair because the next actions will void the warranty:
You'll probably have to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash a rom.
Not sure why this happened on a 100% stock phone. Normally, users get in this situation when flashing custom roms

Here's something new: after unlocking my phone, and having confirmed that i wanted all my "personal data erased", it just booted up normally and it worked, but then, while using it, t=it simply crashed...and got stuck in the bootloop again, which kinda points in the arrow of hardware issue again. I'm gonna try installing a rom (after i figure out how) and see where that leads me.
Update: Flashed CM11, phone still on boot loop, sending to repair soon.
Everyone, thanks for the help anyway, I really appreciate it.

[Q] Possible Hard Brick. How can I fix it?

Dear XDA-Developers Forum,
I require your help fixing my HTC One M7.
When I tried to use an RUU to set it back to stock firmware the RUU.exe returned error 155. Maybe I did something wrong. I have some experience flashing different phones but I'm not a pro like most people here..
Anyway, the phone hung at the black screen with the HTC logo. At some point I managed to reconnect to the bootloader and Fastboot commands were still available. I tried using Fastboot to verify I had the correct RUU which to all appearance was the case. After trying to reboot to system the phone is stuck in a loop. It displays the CM logo from the ROM it had previously installed.
From here, I'm stuck. Power button does not work, combinations to go into bootloader don't work. The only thing that does work is holding power and vol+ and vol- at the same time. This makes the phone reboot (showing white HTC screen with green logo). After a few seconds I am however stuck with the CM logo.
Is there a way to fix this?
Some additional info on my device:
HBoot 1.55
Bootloader unlocked
S-ON (although that's strange cause I had it turned off before)
CM 10.2 installed
TWRP 2.8.5.0
I hope someone has a solution. Of course all drivers and software are up to date and I have backup of my relevent data. I fear that I will need to get a replacement since extensive Google-Search would not yield a solution so far. It could be I'm just not educated enough to understand.
Best regards
Nick

Little Update
Without any chance of turning the device off and re-entering bootloader or recovery I waited until the battery finally died.
I plugged it into the wall charger. I was then finally able to start to the bootloader. It looked very usual. The security alert had disappeared and it was in HBoot mode.
I went on and selected factory reset guessing this to be the easiest and quite likely solution to the bootloop. TWRP started but showed a number of mounting errors and did not finish the operation. After auto-restart I'm back at the bootloop from the start.
Waiting for the battery to die again...
Any suggestions what I should do next?

Error 155 means your using the wrong RUU
You don't need to keep waiting for the battery to die, hold down the volume down button and the power button together, keep them held down, the captive lights on the bottom will flash about 15 times, when the phone goes off, let go of the power button only, the phone should now boot to the bootloader.
post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number please, anyone here needs more info about your phone before we can help and this will tell us all everything we need to know.

Hello,
thanks for your reply.
I have tried holding the power button and vol- together. Even after more than 30 seconds the phone does not react and keeps on showing the CM logo.
Sorry, for not providing more information. I would've posted the getvar info before but was not able to connect through fastboot.
Will do once the battery is charged enough for the next try.

After the battery dying and charging a little bit I was able to go into fastboot mode. The loader screen was showing "fastboot usb". Trying to obtain the variables yields:
C:\fastboot>fastboot getvar (all)
getvarall) FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.016s

first of all I recommend you flash twrp 2.8.6.0 from here, it will make life easier for you: https://dl.twrp.me/m7/twrp-2.8.6.0-m7.img.html
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then enter twrp, and create a very simple backup, just something like boot or cache.
now plug your phone into the computer, it should open on your computer as this version of twrp supports MTP, navigate to the TWRP backup folder on your phone and delete the backup file from the folder (just the backup file itself, none of the folders) it will be in TWRP/BACKUP/PHONE SERIAL NUMBER/DATE AND OTHER DIGITS/ delete the file in here and replace with the files in this zip (make sure you extract the zip first): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646676
now unplug your phone and restore the backup.

The installation of TWRP worked fine. Trying to make the simple backup yields a bunch of failed attempts to mount.

in that case, select wipe, and then format data button, type yes to confirm, when done, select reboot to recovery for change to take effect, it will say no OS installed, just ignore it, it will also ask you if you would like to install super SU, select do not install, when the phone boots back to recovery, try backup again.

Okay.
I formatted the card and was able to do the backup. I was neither notified of a missing OS nor asked if I wanted to Install Super SU. Reboot to Recovery worked normal.
Plugging the phone into my computer does not yield a connection that I could use to copy files.

make sure you are on the recovery main screen when you plug the phone into your computer, no sub menu's.
If it still doesn't appear on your computer, double check your device manager to make sure its showing in there correctly.

A "Google Nexus ADB Interface" is listed. Is that what we're looking for?
Btw: many thanks for the help so far. It's becoming quite exciting right now.

Strange, it should look like this pict below, I'm using a HTC One M8, with the latest TWRP, but its the same thing as yours, as I previously had the M7.
try uninstall, that driver and then manually install the correct driver.
check Question 2 here on how to manually force the driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2

I have tried re-installing the HTC driver. So far no results. Did you want me to remove this ADB thing from the device manager? I am rebooting quickly to see if Win7 is the problem.

yes, just right click that other driver and uninstall it, then reboot.
I just download HTC sync manager and install that for my drivers, then just uninstall HTC sync, you will see the driver package which comes with sync manager just above it, leave that one alone, never had a problem with it.

The hardware detection ran when I plugged the phone in. The device is again listed as "Google Nexus ADB Device"
I have a package installed named "Minimal ADB and Fastboot Version 1.2". This is probably the reason why my phone is listed this way right now...uninstall?

strange, ive never seen it appear like that.
ive attached my adb and fastboot files below if you want to use those, maybe yours came with the google nexus driver.
