Managed to soft Brick.. help please? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Managed to softbrick my HTC one o2 UK.
Not sure if anyone has had the same problems, and if they have i cant find it for love nor money.
I can get into hboot and into cwm recovery. Recovery cannot mount sdcard or data, i have ADB pushed cm10.1 to sdcard but cannot access it via the recovery, i have also sideload installed the cm10.1 zip via ADB sideload but i still get a bootloop.
i did have a nandroid backup but in a fruitless effort trying to go back to stock i forgot to backup the nandroid to pc, and when i relocked bootloader it wiped.
I have hboot 1.44 and am using cwm 6.0.3.2 if that helps. I would like to get it back to stock o2uk factory if at all possible (cant find relevant RUU)
Any and all help appreciated. Cheers

do you have s-off? if yes, i'd suggest to flash the official open europe RUU "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7" (since we don't have a o2uk RUU/Nnandroid):

good luck

managed to get cm10.1 back on it. Relocking and unlocking the bootloader seems to have reset the /data partition and let me have access...
Softbricked it by attempting s-off. Neither method works for me. With revone i get fragmentation error. and moonshine just tells me to start it again and READ lol

After relocking bootloader to flash correct firmware.zip for moonshine it broke my CM install and wouldnt let me mount sdcard or data. It also wiped out my nandroid... so stuck with a bootloop and no way to factory reset or flash new zip.
Unlocking and relocking seemed to fix it

I want to get back to stock Sense 5 and unroot my device. I was on AOKP and tried using the RUU to restore my device. Unfortunately, I failed to realize I had updated my One to software version 1.31.xxx, and the RUU tool I was using was for 1.29.xxx. So now I have no OS on my phone. I can get to bootloader and TWRP recovery, but neither are really useful to me. At this point I'd be satisfied just flashing any ROM. Pushing via adb isn't working because it won't recognize my device. When I try to start sideload in TWRP I get the error "E: Unable to mount '/data'", so I can't load a ROM that way either...If someone could help me out, I'd be forever grateful.
EDIT: After formatting data I was able to sideload a ROM

Did you relock the bootloader first?
Try plugging it into the computer and type ADB reboot recovery, that will take you into recovery. From there you should be able to lock it and run your RUU

I was able to get a ROM on my phone. From what I can gather, you can't downgrade from 1.31 to 1.29 with RUU unless you have S-OFF. I guess I'll wait until someone makes a RUU tool for 1.31. What I don't understand though is that viperROM is based off the 1.29 firmware, but the RUU tool I used still says my phone is using 1.31 (thus, why it won't work).
Gnex,,if you s-off using Revone,you can run any RUU and get back to box stock

[Q] (Q) please me to unbrick my htc one?

hey,
I'm a newbie over here! but i do know basic flashing of ROMS and recoveries and zips. I have a htc one 801e. and i think i bricked my phone. i was running android revolution HD 12.0 (4.2.2 ROM). i successfully unlocked my bootloader, rooted it, and flashed the latest CWM Touch recovery and even achieved s-off and Super CID through revone. i also have set up the ADB on my mac. (I am a MAC USER btw). I was having alotta GPS problem lately and so i decided to wipe my data, relock and re-root. (as i tried everything possible with the GPS problem, but to factory reset to stock RUU and re-root the device once again.) but sadly, in the process, I wiped off all the partitions, even the system partition. I tried rebooting many times but i cannot go past the Boot animation. obviously cus i wiped everything. i dont have anything on the sd card as well. I am just left with a bootloader now. (relocked bootloader. i tried fastboot and adb commands and mistakenly relocked it.) and a CWM touch recovery. i cannot access the storage on my phone. please someone help me? what can I do now to unbrick it? im on a mac! please? any help would be appreciated! :crying:

[Q] Help me unbrick my htc one please?

im a HTC one user. Currently on a formatted sd card. that is, no android rom or software. All I have right now on my phone is an unlocked bootloader 1.54
CWM Recovery Touch v6.0.3.6
I am familiar with pushing roms from mac through adb commands on the sd card. learnt that when i bricked it last time. this time, i cant understand the problem. Umm.. I updated my ARHD rom to 4.3 stock google one from 4.2.2 sense based roms. After that, i remember, going through several roor related issues. So i tried switching roms. i tried flashing various roms but i couldnt get any of em to work. i tried flashing roms after wiping cache and everything recommended, but every rom got stuck on reboot. except the nandroid backup. nandroid backup worked fine. so i tried formatting the sd card as well and flashing a rom after pushng it by adb commands. i think i have problems with my root access. i tried flashing cwm recovery all over again through fastboot, but it still boots up randomly. and im still stuck on the google splashup screen. it keeps rebooting and getting stuck on the splashup screen and doesnt get past that to the htc reboot screen. I dont know what to do. splash up screen doesnt let me access adb commands. and i think i have improper root access as whenever i try to reboot from cwm recovery, it warns me about the su binary and then gets stuck stuck in a loop again.
please help me guys?

If you are unlocked but still S-ON...use revone to make it S-OFF
Than:
1) hold power button until the phone force reboots and in the meantime press vol - button to get into bootloader
2) now go to fastboot and plug the phone to the pc
3) through command line "fastboot writecid 11111111"
4) reboot bootloader
5) now you have supercid, flash any RUU and start using again your HTC one
I think it should work, sorry for my bad english

i know that with supercid you can flash any RUU beacuse it bypasses the normal country control during the istallation of the program...
now, i don't know if you cant flash anything with the 1.54 hboot, but i dont think so. according to me, you can try to flash and in the worst case the istallation wont start...but obviously is your phone and your decisone, just as it is your responsability

Since you're S-Off and SuperCID you can flash any RUU, so just go ahead and you won't loose S-Off either.
The 1.54 restrictions only apply if you're not S-Off, because S-On won't allow you to downgrade. Since you're S-Off it will allow the RUU downgrade.

Being s-off means you can flash anything, even stuff not for this phone. So be careful.

stuck on slash screen, No recovery, Bootloop

Hi all.
I tried to flash my HTC one from recovery (twrp) after doing a factory reset within twrp. (I thought at the time a had stock recovery, I didn't. I had twrp.
Now my phone won't boot. Gets stuck on splash screen. If i enter the bootloader (which works no problem) and choose recovery, it starts recovery, pops up with twrp splash screen for second, then reboots to frozen htc splash screen.
Fastboot is working.
I've tried clearing the cache using fastboot. samething
I've tried flashing other recoveries,. nothing samething. (others in different predicaments have been able to do this successfully)
I've been reading that returning back to stock using RUU.zip method is the only way to go.
I want to try that, but before I do, I must make sure I understand it correctly and I've done all I can.
Relock the bootloader? Can I unlock it again?
Find a RUU.Zip that matches my OS version
Flash using fastboot.
I've been looking through HTC1GURU at his collection of ruu.zip but can't find anything that really matches my OS.
Any suggestions and advice will be most welcome.
Thanks in advance

There isn't any ruu for orange (.61 base) only a nandroid backup which require a working recovery to be flashed. if you don't really care about staying with the orange sw, you could simply restore your phone to international EU version (.401 base). You already have s-off and the proper mid, so it will only require to downgrade hboot to 1.44, change cid to HTC__001 and run the 1.29.401 ruu.exe. you can use this guide
Thanks for the quick reply and the guide.
I don't care about orange sw. I'll do some reading. I do have a nandroid backup. No good to me, unless I get recovery working.
Not too confident about downgrading the Hboot, but i'll read and read.

downgrading hboot is pretty easy
just follow the steps under ''If you’re on hboot which is above 1.44'' from nkk71's guide
then change cid
then run ruu.exe
but do not use a win 8.1 computer (compatibility issue with hboot 1.44)
Thanks for that last bit, what about Win8.
I've spotted the steps that apply to me, just playing them out in my head.
Out of curiosity after a downgrade the HBoot, will it be locked and s-on?

Can you try fastboot erase cache from fastboot menu and re enter recovery?
Tried that, thanks

OK, a little lucky positive progress.
I managed to flash clockworkMod recovery, don't ask me how, maybe erasing the cache lots of times did it, i'm sure it was a recovery I had already tried. I checked my download list and confirmed I did download it., so i would of tried to flash it two days ago. Funny.
Still stuck on splash screen, but can boot into recovery. (clockworkmod)
Please, what is the best way to proceed, I'm thinking nandroid backup, but like I said, I couldn't care less about orange. I would love to put Mike1986 stock rom 4.3 or 4.4
I'm unable or don't know how to get folders or files on the phone's internal SD card, because it doesn't boot up a rom any more. Y-cable?
I'm concerned with all the "can't" at the bottom of recovery screen.

[Q] Bricked. Boot Loop. No Data in SD Card.

Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem
So I was running 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5 on my phone. Vodafone (my phone company in Aus) sent out an OTA update for my phone. I'd already rooted my phone and had a custom recovery, so I knew I wasn't able to install it without going back to stock. So I tried following the procedure to go back to stock. Used 'Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.980.2' to do it and it seemed to work pretty well. It was 4.3, so I did an OTA, first one (like a 3mb file) installed fine, then the second one for 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 downloaded and installed, but not it is stuck in a boot loop. So I tried to do a factory reset from the bootloader which sent it back into the bootloop, then as nothing was working, I thought I'd install the custom recovery (TWRP) and install the ROM again and just leave it at that so at least I have a phone. Only problem is I had to unlock the bootloader again which wiped everything on the internal storage. And I'm stuck.
There's nothing in the internal memory. It's stuck in a bootloop after an OTA. I have TWRP installed as my recovery. I can access both recovery and bootloader.
Any idea's?
Also, for some reason, I can't download or access anything from this website; http://ww35.bugsylawson.com/ which I've seen used in multiple places to try and unbrick your phone
Thanks all!

Will this enable me to go fully back to stock and perform OTA updates, or is this just a way to get me out of a rut?
Thanks for the help by the way, currently in the process of doing the sideload.
