Boots into recovery (power button + volume down) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have anther thread, but it's under a different subject, so here it goes..
I was having issues installing a new recovery, and now I'm afraid that I have no system at all.
If I try to just turn the phone on, it's stuck at the HTC splash screen. If I try boot into bootloader, it goes straight to recovery.
When in recovery, I have the error codes:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I have no idea what this is from or how to fix it.
I've wiped data/factory reset, wiped all cache and now I'm completely stuck :crying:
Please help!
Also, when I'm booting, the button lights at the bottom flash a number of times before it will actually boot into either screen.

I've tried to push a ROM onto the sdcard, but there aren't and devices detected. HTC Sync is installed as well as a fresh SDK. No idea why the phone can't be detected. I'm trying to detect it from the recovery.
OK, GOOD news, I think!
I finally got into the bootloader after holding it down forever. The phone is detected in fastboot.

It is possible but much harder since it would have to be in flashed in RUU mode and this can be dangerous and you will need S-off. First since you have a working fastboot, did you try flashing a new recovery from the fastboot steps I provided in post #8 of your other thread?
Do you have S-off? If so I can provide what is needed to flash the RUU in fastboot.

I have flashed a new recovery, but Clockwork is the only recovery that will work.
And no, It's not S-off

OK, well TWRP allows you to sideload a rom, but I am not sure about CWM. A Sideload is going to be easiest, but if we can't get that going we can flash a rom in fastboot using RUU. Please answer these questions: First
Since you have a custom recovery I assume you have an unlocked bootloader, correct?
Do you have s-off?
When the phone is detected in fastboot, and you issue the command:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
What is the exact console output?
When the phone is detected in fastboot, and you issue the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(TWRP being the latest TWRP recovery img file)
What is the exact console output?
---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------
OK, I saw your reply about having s-on. That's a bummer because it means we can't just flash a RUU in fastboot RUU mode.
Can you please download the latest TWRP 2.6.0.1 and rename it to twrp.img and place it in your adb/fastboot folder (platform-tools)
Now with phone connected and detected in fastboot
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
It should load up a working copy of the TWRP recovery without installing/flashing it to your recovery partition.
If we can get that up than maybe we can then use sideload to push a ROM.zip and install it.

I don't have S-off
This is the exact output:
C:\sdk\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130522\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot erase cache
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.063s]
finished. total time: 0.063s
C:\sdk\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130522\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
sending 'recovery' (7924 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.076s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.650s]
finished. total time: 1.728s
I can't boot into recovery now with twrp. I'll to to boot in from fastboot
Trying to boot twrp from fastboot results in the splash screen and then a black screen (phone turns off)

Weird. What is the error when you try to boot into recovery now that we flashed TWRP. I know sometimes I have had to reboot several times before it would properly boot into the recovery.

There's no error, it's just the HTC splash screen with the small text on top and bottom and then the screen goes black, which I suspect is the phone turning off

Was there a working rom on the phone before the recovery troubles. I know that having the fastboot option selected in settings>power menu will not allow a proper boot to recovery.
You are disconnecting the cable after flashing the recovery before trying to boot into it? Have more than 50% battery?
If you don't have any rom installed or data on the phone you could try to erase all the partitions where roms put data:
fastboot erase boot (this will erase the kernel and initrd)
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
However be aware that we would need to install a rom or in this case flash images of those areas from a working system, backup or extracted RUU in order for it to work.

I think those are my only options now. I've tried rebooting into recovery a few times with no luck. It's normal for it to have
"Entering Recovery...
This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply... etc."
On the top and bottom of the recovery HTC splash screen, right?
I really appreciate this help. This is a pretty new phone and by best phone I've had, and I'd hate to have screwed it up in a matter of minutes.

Yes normal for Entering Recovery to show at top.
Same for the red warning text, it is showing because you have custom recovery installed.
Let me think about it and lets see if any other members weigh in. You have a working fastboot, so we should be able to get you back working again.

You give me hope!

Shouldn't I be able to follow these directions..
Method 2 - flashing RUU (ROM Update Utility)
Visit this or this thread.
Find proper RUU for your device
Connect your device to the PC
Boot your device in fastboot mode (like you did during unlocking bootloader - power off the device and turn it on using power + vol down buttons and select "FASTBOOT")
Open up command prompt ( Start > Run > type cmd and hit enter ). The window that appears is called Command Prompt. <click here to see the image>
Navigate to where you unzipped "mini-sdk" package (type in Command Prompt: cd c:\mini-sdk). Note: make sure the path is not c:\mini-sdk\mini-sdk
In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot oem lock
Flash RUU and follow on screen instructions.
You have now completely stock software on your device.

That just means I'm going to lock it again.

You sure you unlocked your boot loader and kept it unlocked? Did you use htcdev.com/token method or a different method.
We may be able to use a RUU. I am stupid for not asking. What are you details like: Location and carrier. If you are on one of the devices for which there is a RUU, then we can use it. If there is no RUU for your device then it is much harder to use the RUU method at all because you are S-on.
Get me this:
What country and carrier?
Output from a fastboot session where you issue the command:
Code:
getvar all
This way I can see the info needed for RUU search like CID and such.
Be sure to cut/blur/etc out your serial number and imei cause you don't want that floating around.
I think we can get you up and running.

So wait you can get cwm to work? If so you can mount usb storage and copy a Rom to it then flash the zip, I some what skimmed over this thread, your issue is you don't have a Rom installed right?

Yeah, I can more or less get CMW to work and the issue is the phone won't boot up, it just sticks at the HTC splash screen, so I think the /system was formatted. I didn't see a usb storage option lat time I checked, but I do remember them having it on my EVO 3D. I'll check again if this RUU option doesn't work.

Yes. Just have your phone connected in fastboot and run the RUU.exe, it will flash everything back to stock.
PS - You should delete out these three lines from your info:
(bootloader) serialno: xxxxxx
(bootloader) imei: xxxxxx
(bootloader) meid: xxxxxx

IT WORKED! WHOO! :victory:
Thank you for all the support!!
Now the question is: do I go for the custom ROM or not?

It looks like I don't have a recovery installed..
Whenever I try to boot into recovery from bootloader, the screen goes black and shows a "phone broken" sign (exclamation above a phone).
I'm going to try to flash a custom ROM now.
Would the RUU have flashed a recovery with it?

[Q] Bricked after flashing Insertcoin 4.4 ROM (ADB can't find device)

I flashed the ROM in recovery. I thought I was S-OFF but am S-ON. It gave me error code 7 and the installation failed. Now I can't even boot into recovery (it just cycles between the HTC splash screen and then tries booting into recovery for a second. I see the recovery logo and then it reboots).
Holding down the volume down and power buttons I can get into HBOOT, but can't do a factory reset or recovery from there. I can get into the FASTBOOT menu, but my computer just tells me that the device connected has malfunctioned and can't recognize it. running "ADB Devices" returns with no devices found.
I downloaded and ran the RUU, but it can't find the phone. I'm out of ideas. I appreciate any help you guys can offer.

I'm willing to help.. but I am very busy.. can I have a look into this a bit later? Maybe someone else is going to be able to help you.. but if there isn't... I'm going to help you.
To calm down: As long as you can get into your hboot, everything is fine! You are not hardbricked!
Let me know if that's ok for you.

Second:
What hboot version do you have? 1.44/1.54/1.55
What's the stock ROM you recieved with the factory fresh phone? z.zz.XXX.z now.. what was the XXX number exactly? The international edition for example is: 1.24.401.7 I only need the 3-digit number.
Third:
Unlocked or Locked/Relocked?

The phone is unlocked, HBOOT version is 1.44
running fastboot getvar all yields "waiting for device" Windows doesn't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. I know I have the correct drivers installed. When it tries to boot into recovery, I briefly see the device show up in Device Manager, but it disappears again. I don't know what the stock ROM was that came with the phone. I want to say it was 1.27.531.8, but I don't know for sure.

Are you in the fastboot mode? I mean you booted your phone into the bootloader.. then you chose "fastboot" and after this there's written "FASTBOOT USB"? and then you got this waiting for device? because simply being in hboot doesn't allow you to use fastboot commands. Sorry if this is a noob question.. but if your device wasn't recognized.. this would be f***ing difficult to get anything running again. This bug with the recovery.. hmmm... don't boot into recovery again.. recovery is connected to adb not fastboot... and to calm down.. here we have a RUU to get back stock(don't use it right now):

The phone shows up in Device Manager when I'm in FASTBOOT USB, but not when I'm in HBOOT. I still can't do anything with ADB.
I was able to flash a new recovery with FASTBOOT, but that recovery crashed as well.
If you are still trying for your computer to recognize the adb device and still hasn't then just buy an USB OTG then put an USB to flash a rom from there.

adb commands won't work while in fastboot mode/bootloader. fastboot needs to be used while in fastboot mode. While your in fastboot, try
fastboot erase cache
Then fastboot flash your recovery again (fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img), and try to access recovery

[Q] Boot looping

Please treat me as a total noob, my problem is this i installed the stock RUU Vodafone rom on my HTC One and everything went fine until i had a couple of phone updates ota first 2 installed and phone rebooted no problem on the 3rd system update the phone rebooted but this time on a boot loop where it would get as far as the HTC splash screen the continually reboot itself.
I have gone into recovery – hold power and Vol Down to go into recovery but when i do press the power button to go into recovery it just goes back to the boot loop i did have Clockworkmod installed on the phone but this seems to have stopped working.
I have tried to use fastboot and ADB but because my phone is looping it will not say on long enough to connect to the PC and run a command to wipe the cache.
My question mainly is there anything i can do to save my phone or should i just bin it.
Thanks

You MUST use stock recovery for ota updates. Flash your stock recovery back, fastboot erase cache and try to update again.

If you flashed clockworkmod recovery after the ruu, then you don't have stock recovery.
reboot the phone in bootloader mode, you should be able to do fastboot commands from there.
If you go in windows devices manager, is your phone listed?
and never use the 1.20.401.1 ruu, its a pre-release version. always use the 1.28.401 or the newer 4.19.401.9 ruu

A: when you issue the command "fastboot boot CWM.img" (now only in CWM/TWRP restore method) there's a high chance drivers won't correctly install

just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways​
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:

open a command prompt from your fasboot/adb folder (shift + right click in blank space of that folder and select ''start a command prompt here'')
then the command prompt will open
type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
should output something similar to this:

ok so you said in post #1 you have flashed vodafone ruu but afaik, there is no ruu for that phone. And the ruu you are referring to in post #3 is not for vodafone but for international (unbranded) phone and will not work on your phone with S-ON.
try to ''fastboot erase cache'' and reboot the phone. If its still bootloop, the easiest solution is to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery and flash a custom rom i.e arhd 53.

then boot twrp recovery and push the rom to your sdcard

Wait a while for the rom to transfer

[Q] HTC One Bootloop - Cannot unlock bootloader

Hi All,
My phone suddenly started doing a Bootloop, please notice that I haven't messed up with any custom ROMs, flashing, etc... the only thing that I may guess that happened here is that my phone got a little wet a couple of days ago. The screen won't came up so I dry it using a hairdryer and started working normally. Two days later I got an error that Foursquare app was failing and then I got into the Bootloop that I cannot get rid of....
I'm totally new with flashing phones, rooting, unlocking, etc... but I'm a developer, so, I can learn much easily.
I was reading some forums and solutions but I could not get it work.
Here are the details:
1- The phone is a HTC One M7
2- I'm able to enter to "Recovery mode" screen
3- If i scroll down to "Recovery" or "Factory Reset" the phone try to enter to those modes but after a few seconds of black screen I got an image with a phone with a red warning icon inside. So, I cannot enter to recovery nor do a factory reset
4- If I try to use "adb" commands looks like the bootloop is avoiding me to recognize the device. I tried "adb devices" several times while the phone is rebooting and I see the phone appearing in the list in the middle of the reboot but the status is "offline", then, it changed to "unauthorized" and then it disappears. I also tried "adb wait-for-device" but does not worked and sometimes it said that there is more than one device connected (if i tried adb devices again, appear my device a lot of times but always offline).
I also tried a .bat file to wait for the device and do a shell stop to be able to "freeze" where the phone is accessible, but did not worked neither.
I guess that I don't have debugging enable on my device and that is why i cannot use the adb commands of see the phone connected. I saw that adb will work even with debugging disabled in recovery, but like i mentioned before, i cannot enter to recovery.
5- I was able to enter to "fastboot mode" and my phone connected to USB. If i use fastboot devices, my device appears and looks fine.
6- I tried to unlock the bootloader using the htcdev.com. I followed the steps and looks simple, I don't think i messed something there. I was able to get the phone token, submit, get the Unlock_code.bin, flash the code using fastboot, I got the screen to select yes/no to unlock the bootloader, and at this point everything looks great. I selected Yes, and my phone reboot and still on bootloop (as expected), but If i enter again to recovery mode, the phone is still "*** LOCKED ***". I tried the process (get toke, submit, flash bin, etc) lot of times, but with no result, phone is still appears as Locked.
7- My idea on #6 was to flash the recovery img and try to make the recovery to work, but to be able to flash the recovery i need my bootloader to be unlocked. I tried anyways to flash the recovery but as expected if failed :
C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9434 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.201s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 2.172s
8- I saw that there is another method to unlock the bootloader but is using adb, which on #4 i explained i cannot use.
Any idea? thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Juan.
first USB debugging is only for when you are booted into a rom, it doesn't apply to recovery or bootloader.
Red triangle with exclamation mark is normal, that's the stock recovery.
next, you wont beable to adb devices whilst its bootlooping, that's why that's not working, adb is for in a rom or in recovery, fastboot commands are for when your in the bootloader
So reboot your phone to bootloader mode, this is where you saw the list with options to factory reset and reboot and recovery etc, this is the only thing you need to use for now, and only fastboot commands will work there, once plugged into your computer it should say on the screen "fastboot USB"
post your "fastboot getvar all" without quote marks

first thing is first, remove your serial number and imei from your output, its dangerous to post them.
also get your battery charged up to 50% or more,

Ohh, just removed.
About battery, I cannot turn off my phone (even if trying from fastboot "power off" option), that is why i keep it with low battery so it power off when it's empty.
Do you thing battery level will change my results? If yes, after charging my batter, what i should do?
Thanks,
J.

Hi, after trying everything that I found in the forums, google, etc, without been able to work around it, I took my phone to two places where they fix cell phones but both of them told me "it can't be fixed". So, I lost my hope and currently i'm still keeping the broken phone but already got another one

May be help you

Sent from my HTC 9060 using XDA Free mobile app
I don't buy the 'can't be done' anymore after my issue for the past 24 hours. Your only way forward is to unlock the phone though. When I get back to the pc (using my now working phone!!) I'll put my notes up for you to work through.
I'm going to write this on the assumption that you followed the correct process to get your unlock token from HTC and you now have that.
BEFORE you do any of this, charge your phone. If you're having trouble powering it off, I found that having it connected via usb to my pc and then just holding the power off button or even the power off and volume down button (while it was on) did the trick. The LED should be lit red even if you don't have a visible indicator of what level the battery is at.
In the meantime:
#1 Go to your desktop on your pc. Set up a new folder and call it HTC.
#2 Into this folder extract everything within the attached zip. Don't put it into a further sub directory, just fill the HTC folder with the zip's contents. These are the ADB dll's and HTC's Fastboot programme. On top, I've included version 2.8.6.2 of TWRP.
#3 Put your Unlock_code.bin from the HTC email you received into this same folder.
-The contents of your folder should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
#3 When your phone has charged for at least an hour (make it two to be safe) get it onto the bootloader screen and onto the fastboot menu. You should still have the phone connected to the pc and the line should now say 'fastboot usb'
#4 Open up a cmd terminal. Assuming that you know how this is done, make sure that it is reading c:\<path>\HTC (where path is whatever it is where htc is. On mine it was c:\users\username\desktop\HTC
#5 type the following in: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (then wait to see what it says.. if successful then proceed to #6)
#6 type the following in: fastboot reboot -bootloader
Tell us how you get on.

[SOLVED] Is there NO solution for my bootloader stuck HTC One with s-on?

So I think I've pretty much bricked my phone here. Where do I start?
I can only go into Bootloader. I have S-On and its relocked.
I can't S-off because I'm stuck in boot loader ....
I can't Unlock because I'm stuck in boot loader....
I can't even flash an RUU because its S-ON
The ONLY thing I can do is fastboot commands....Is there any way I can fastboot command to s-off? Any solutions? I was trying to make this stock to give the phone to my mom but I think I'm screwed

Here is a RUU 4.11.401.11.zip that you can flash in fastboot. If you have an issue running the RUU then flash this firmware 4.11.401.11 first. These are the commands to flash both the RUU & firmware after booting into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Should see silver HTC logo
Code:
fastboot flash zip <name of file.zip>
The first time you issue this command merely sets up phone to receive the RUU or firmware, it will fail you have to issue the exact command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip <name of file.zip>
The green status bar may not go all the way to 100%, if it is complete in the cmd window wait a few seconds then proceed.
Code:
fastboot reboot

This may be a dumb question but just to confirm, you want me to flash the firmware first, THEN the RUU right?

Hey so I tried the firmware, and it worked! Flashed it BUT when I tried your RUU file, it said the same 12 signature verify fail

They may not run since you are S-ON and I don't know if they are signed. I am trying to find a RUU.exe for you. Failing that, do you have a linux machine or MAC? If not, you can run linux off a USB FAQ Q5. Linux doesn't do all of the check that Win performs.
@majmoz
I have a Mac which would be much easier and I don't have Linux.... but I can create a USB Linux based on what I see from that link...
Which one should I use?

Since you have a Mac use it. Just use the information from Q#3 in the guide to get the correct syntax.

hey so I tried it on my mac, did it all correctly.
But it comes down to this again:
(boot loader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 Signature verify fail)

Since the firmware worked did you try to reboot the phone?
I'm not clear on what caused your issue? What rom was the phone on before you decided to go back to stock? Did you perform the unlock procedure the first time? If so, do you still have the Unlock_code.bin? If not, according to the procedure you need mostly fastboot to unlock your phone.
@majmoz
Yes I did reboot the phone using the command when I used the first firmware.
I was on Cyanogenmod 11 before. I did perform the unlock procedure the first time and YES I do still have the unlock_code.bin
Right now its on Relocked...
Is there any way I can use this unlock_code.bin to Unlock it? I tried on my mac and it said <error: cannot load 'token'> when I tried to <./fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin>
Sorry for giving you so much trouble...
@majmoz
So maybe I could be doing this wrong or perhaps the RUU file is the wrong one?
Because I'm able to flash the firmware fine and when I enter the reboot command....it reboots but doesn't go into boot loader, its just a black screen. Then I hold down the power and volume down and it goes into boot loader mode....And I repeat the process for the RUU you gave me and it says the same 12 signature verify fail.
What exactly is supposed to show when I flash the initial firmware? because my phone seems to turn off....and I have to hold down power and volume down for 15 seconds (the home and back button flashes a few times, then it goes into boot loader)

You might have to go through the procedure again since you changed your firmware.
So, I guess the phone is working but you want to go back to stock? If you can get it unlocked again, then you could install TWRP and flash this Guru Reset 5.11.401.10. This will get you back to stock, at the end it will ask if you want to root or not choose do not root and it will install the stock recovery. Then you could relock the bootloader and you are done!
@majmoz
OH MY GOD! I Unlocked it!! It worked holy hell you're amazing!
Now I've downloaded TWRP...How do I install this?

When you run the firmware and you use the fastboot reboot command the phone should reboot into the OS. If you use the fastboot reboot-bootloader command the phone should reboot into the bootloader.
Did the black screen have a red triangle in it?
Cyanogenmod 11 does a job on the phone and unfortunately it sometimes takes a RUU to correct it.

Okay so you're amazing. I installed TWRP and it works, which gives me some relief. Now the only problem is, how do I get the Guru Reset on my phone? I can't seem to drop it in using android file transfer. Any solutions?

Here is the entire procedure you have already got most of it complete.
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

HTC M7 - Tried to root (Installed TWRP) but now phone won't boot

I tried to use this guide to on htconeroot
Got to installing the zip for SuperSU v1.30
The phone rebooted but it said SuperSU failed
Tried to install Update Super SU v2.46
Phone no longer reboots. It shows the white HTC One loading screen but then just goes very dark grey forever.
I can still access the white menu that comes up when you hold volume down and power
Can also access the TWRP screen, however I tried factory reset there and it didn't change, it still won't boot.
Can't take out sd or battery as metal case
Anyway not sure if this is meant to be in the HTC M7 category, a TWRP category, Rooting one.
I'm not sure if it is because the guide was for 4.3 and on 5.02 or what.
I also held the power off button when it was doing some things which may have also caused it
I don't really care about it being rooted so much as having my phone back. The only reason I wanted it rooted was to install the camera change that is supposed to get rid of the green tint.
Anyway thank you for your time. And I appreciate any assistance that can be given. I have spent hours trying to figure it out, but I am still confused and figure I am likely to screw it up even more

Since you have twrp installed, did you make a nandroid before installing the zip, if so restore it.
If you don't have a nandroid, please post output of fastboot getvar all.

Thank you very much for responding.
I am not sure what a nandroid backup is. I was following a guide.
I copied every file on phone to my computer via the file manager. And I used the command prompt and typed in "adb backup -apk -all -f backup.ab". I am not sure if that is the right kind.
I don't know how to post that output you asked for. I googled it, but it sounded like I needed to use my computer, and my computer no longer recognizes my phone due to it not booting. Or is that done in TWRP? Thank you again.
PS: htconeroot .com /htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux/ is the guide I was following. Got up to install SU before it went bad. In case it helps. I can't properly link as I haven't made enough posts.

A nandroid backup is actually made with in twrp, read up on for future.
You obviously have adb installed since you used it for backup.
Put the phone in bootloader mode, restart holding down power and volume down. (have you not gone into twrp?) Then plug in usb and you should see "fastboot usb"
then from the adb folder type "fastboot getvar all"
Do some google searching there are dozens of articles regarding flashing htc one and using adb and fastboot commands phone bootloader and recovery .
Delete please, forgot to quote/ reply.

When posting a "fastboot getvar all" edit out your imei and serialno, don't post these 2 numbers on the forum (edit your above post and remove them).
You should be able to restore your phone by flashing the 7.17.631.7 7.17.661.7 RUU. You'll first need to edit your MISC partition to change your version-main from 7.17.661.35 to 7.17.661.7 then relock your bootloader and flash the RUU. Once done, you'll have to install 2 ota updates so your phone is back to the 7.17.661.35 version. When back on this version, re-unlock your bootloader, re-flash twrp and flash supersu version 2.46 (any version lower than that will not work on lollipop)

Thank you very much. Both for the help fixing it, and letting me know to remove that info. I read the instructions however given that it won't boot. My computer won't recognize it to transfer the tool (Misc_Tool_1.00.zip) over, so I can install it in TWRP. I tried pushing it using a command with adb. But it said Device not found. Given it has no removable SD card I do not know how to move it. The manual one also required adb shell, which says device not found. I shall continue looking things up in the mean time.
Edit: Strangely HTC Sync manager pops up when it does fail to boot if I restart the phone. Given it is set to do so when the phone is plugged in. However it always says "no phone connected". As if it recognizes it for a second then stops.

First thing you want when using adb or fastboot commands is to make sure HTC Sync is not installed or your computer because it can interfere with adb/fastboot connectivity. So go ahead and uninstall it (not closing it, uninstall for real) don't uninstall the drivers btw.
Make sure you have the latest htc drivers installed, that you are using a good usb cable (preferably the original cable or any other cable already known to work with data transfer as opposed to usb cables that can only provide power). Make sure you are using a usb 2.0 port on your computer at the back of your tower (not using front ports neither an external usb hub). Finally, adb commands will only work when booted in twrp recovery, they will not work when in bootloader mode as opposed to fastboot commands which only works in bootloader.
If using the commands to change your version-main, better to post it here before so I can confirm its the correct one. A simple typo in this command could make the situation worse (i.e: corrupting your misc partition).

Hello, thank you again.
I uninstalled sync. I am using the original cable, and have now plugged it in to a USB 2.0 port on the back.
I also tried to use the commands while the phone is on the TWRP screen. The one with a grey background and big touch buttons with blue on them that say "Install" "Wipe" "Backup" etc.
But it still won't recognize my device. I can type in ADB to get a list of commands.
But when I try to push anything, it says "error: device not found"
I tried the command "adb get-serialno" to see if other commands worked but it said "unknown".
Edit: Got it to show up as a device when in Fastboot USB. However it won't show up as a drive in mycomputer. ADB won't recognize it in either that mode or on TWRP. And once I access TWRP, it changes to android phone" as shown in the second pic.

When you're in TWRP are you sure you don't see the device as a disk drive, the newer versions of twrp support mtp which allows this. You should be able just to copy paste from you PC to the device. It looks to me this is working from your second picture.

Thanks once again both of you. But even though it seems like it should be listed. It is not. And if I right click on the device that appears, it is greyed out.
Which drivers? HTC ones? Android ones? or the Universal ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Driver for Windows.? I think I am getting confused between uninstalling and installing so many drivers, as to which overwrite.
Thanks again
Edit: It is TWRP v2.6.3.0

The HTC drivers, not the universal ones.
2.6.3.0 is to old and will cause problem. Once your drivers problem is fixed, update your twrp recovery before going any further (at least 2.6.3.3 or much newer if you want MTP support)
Ill be back in a few hours good luck

I'm not sure how to update twrp.
However I tried to use a driver remover, then download and install new htc drivers, and nothing seems to have changed.
I will try and go over that video guide I was following before and see if there was something wrong in it compared to others once I get up (7:00am here and I haven't slept yet), but I thought I would update the situation before then.
Have a good day

Is fastboot connectivity working? (boot in bootloader mode and use "fastboot device" command to see if your phone is detected) Or is it only adb not working when in twrp?
You can update twrp using fastboot commands when in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash recovery file_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(replace "file_name.img" by the file name of the recovery you want to flash.

I have good luck with these adb tools. Also did you reboot pc after removing old drivers, sometime things just magically work after.

Is fastboot connectivity working? (boot in bootloader mode and use "fastboot device" command to see if your phone is detected) Or is it only adb not working when in twrp?
You can update twrp using fastboot commands when in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash recovery file_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
(replace "file_name.img" by the file name of the recovery you want to flash.

THANK YOU.
There has been progress.
So I installed the new TWRP posted, version 2.8.7.0-m7.
At first it said signature checking failed, so I booted the token thing from HTCDev again.
It then allowed me to install the new TWRP.
When the new TWRP was installed it came up with a screen with errors in red. "Can't write to Cache" or something.
I was going to write them down but it restarted itself then got stuck.
However once I turned the phone off and on again then went into recovery the new version allowed "MTP Device" to be recognized as a drive on my computer and I was able to copy over Misc_Tool_1.00.zip.
It still won't boot though. Anyway then I was re-reading the steps to use the Misc Tool and it said I should be using twrp 2.6.3.3 as newer versions hang.
So would the next step to be to reflash an older TWRP like I did the new one?
Then install Misc_Tool.zip and follow the other instructions that went along with it in that guide posted on the last page?
Are there any other things I should copy onto the phone first in case the older TWRP stops the drive from showing up on my computer again?
I just thought I would double check before proceeding so that I do not make a bigger mess of it.
Thank you both again for your time:good:

The tool Ive made will indeed hang if used with recent twrp version, sorry i forgot to mention that. So yes flash the 2.6.3.3 version and you should be able to use it without any problem. MTP isn't supported in 2.6.3.3 but you should be able to use "adb push" commands to transfer files, anyway I don't think you'll need any other file for now. Just change your version-main then relock your bootloader and flash the ruu.

First I would download the ruu suggested by Alray to your computer (if you haven't already) have it in the adb folder
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
7.17.661.7 ruu
Then
Just flash the older twrp like you did the installed version
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then run the misc tool and change cid
Then
then flash the ruu (it will replace twrp and rom with stock versions)
use the "how to flash" instructions on the first page of ruu download page.
Note: you MUST use htc_fastboot. Download it and place in the adb folder.
phone will reboot and then continue when flashing the ruu, don't rush, will take 10-15 min
