No OS, no recovery - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Hi everyone, as You can tell I'm a novice when it comes to these things and I don't wish to bore you with the details of how I got into this pickle (unless it's needed) but long story short, my phone does not have an OS and it does not have a recovery. Whenever I turn on the phone it displays this screen:
{
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
***SECURITY WARNING***
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-1.00.20.0315
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot

FASTBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
BOOTOADER

}
That's pretty much all I can do on this phone and I need some guidance on what to do. Thanks in advance!

Use fastboot to flash a recovery. Look at the q&a rollup thread in the stickies to learn how. Then flash a rom of choice by doing an adb push in your new recovery. If this all happened because you flashed a non Sprint Rom, you have more issues to deal with. The second option is to RUU back to stock. This is only possible if you didn't get the latest OTA before borking you phone. If you did get the OTA, you will need to s-off. Read the sticky threads, learn how to achieve these things. There are also countless more posts just like yours in this section with answers.

I have been using the sticky, it's just that my backup didnt work after wiping my stuff, and I eventually ended up re-locking my phone, but ill continue to try on the matter

Are you on the latest firmware? Can you manually reboot into recovery using the physical buttons?

Not sure on the firmware, but no I cannot manually boot into recovery.

How did this happen? Was it a incorrect Rom flash? If so, I think your only option is to try to get s-off using revone. If you can get adb to work well enough to push a file to your storage and run some cmd prompt commands, you should be able to s-off. Then you can RUU back to stock with everything back to factory specs. This process of s-off is only needed if you are on the latest firmware (1.31) because we only have the older firmware RUU file. The system won't allow an older one to flash over a newer one unless your s-off.
Edit: I think your on the older firmware. The radio thou have listed is the same as mine, and I'm in 1.29. Does your computer recognize it when in the boot loader?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

no, it wasn't an incorrect flash, I had tried to restore my rom back to stock from a backup I had, but I had wiped everything before and it turns out my backup was somehow corrupt, so I had no rom to flash. I tried to fix it somehow but I just ended up locking my bootloader and now I am here.
would I just use the all in one toolkit to try and redo everything and ADB push?

You probably could. Unlock again, push a recovery again, push a Rom file using adb to new recovery. Flash and profit.
If things got worse than that, ie: corrupt partitions, then you will likely have to RUU to stock.
Also, now may not be the time to do this but, look into learning basic fastboot and adb commands. They can be a real life saver and help out when an all in one toolkit isn't working or doesn't exist. But I bet you don't want to download the sdk, setup, and learn tonight. Especial not with a phone that's hurt already. For the future though, could save your day.

I tried to ADB push a rom before, but to no avail, and when I tried to restore from a backup, it mentioned something about there not being a partition. Hopefully this I won't run into this problem again

Good luck!

if your bootloader is relocked how would you be able to sideload a rom, if thats what you're trying to do i would unlock then reflash recovery and go from there.why did you relock?

HTC One original rom on root device update problem

...guys I was looking around, but couldn't find answer for my little problem. I have rooted HTC One, but rom is stock (didn't plan to change it at all just needed root), but the problem is today a new update came up, and when I tried to install it, it simple didn't do anything.
I go on Install now, phone restarts in recovery mode, then it gives me Installation aborted, and I have 3 thingies, - No; - Yes - Disable recovery flash: - +++++Go Back+++++
Whatever I choose, it just restarts and asks again for same recovery. What shall I do?
In console stands this:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.4
E: Invalid command argument
E: Invalid command argument
Warning: No file_contexts

...ah, I knew it. I presume that stock recovery can't be flashed from custom recovery.
So I need to flash stock recovery, then to lock bootloader, and then I guess I'm good to go!?!
Can I flash it from custom recovery, or do I need to flash it differently? Anyone has link for it, or are all stock recoveries same (I mean from different providers)?
Thanks
You need to install stock recovery using fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Install stock recovery like I said above, once done type the following :- "fastboot oem lock"
You should be good to go then for the update. Re-locking your bootloader doesn't wipe your files either, only unlocking wipes the internal storage.
...OK, so here is what I did. From ADB restored the original recovery.img, then lock bootloader, and viola. Thanks guys for helping me out.

Edit: ...I forgot to uninstall SuperSU, and now I have a shortcut in apps and it cannot be removed. When I run it, phone says: "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a Problem!" ...lolz me, what to do?

What is all this about S-Off and HTCDev ... You unlock your bootloader through HTCDev, S-Off is NOT something that can be done any other way than Revone and Moonshine and NOT on Hboot 1.54 ... Yet.
I've seen several people mention S-Off and HTCDev in the same breath and I think some of you are getting it all mixed up. Unlocking the bootloader and going S-Off are not the same thing and only unlocking the bootloader can be done through the HTCDev website.
I'm pretty sure HTC aren't going to help you remove the security from your device.
I stand corrected you are correct I had soff before that's why I guess it wasn't reset after update

Original recovery and lock oem doesn't help.
Lads,
Would someone give me a hand here please.
There is a major update for HTC One.
I've flashed original recovery and locked back the phone.
Now it's downloading the update, then goes into reboot and opens fastboot bootloader, instead of installing the update.
What am i doing wrong here?
Thanks in advances
Hi,
I have the same problem as OP.
However the instructions in the replies are terribly confusing, I don't even know where to start!
Someone could do a step-by-step summary for less expert (or just android-retarded) people ?
Thanks a lot!
further to my post above
You need to be on stock recovery. Figure that out and you should be good.
Looking at the various guides somehow related to stock recovery doesn't make sense to me.
There's too many things I am not aware of such as how to flash the stock recovery, if the process will wipe all data, what is a fastboot command etc. etc. Has anybody ever created an easy guide to assess the problem?

I have HBOOT 1.54 and S-OFF with rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0
-marco- said:
further to my post above
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For the sake of common knowledge and in case it may help other unknowing people like me, I'll post what I did here:
I sort of mixed these two guides: this one and this.
Premise:
A. It was impossible to make this whole thing run on my Win8.1 x64 computer. It would never recognize my Fastboot USB device plugged in. I had to use bloody WINXP x86 on my old-ass netbook....
B. Somehow I still had my fastboot/adb compiled folder that I used back in time to root my HTC at first.
C. My phone was Tampered, Unlocked, with HBOOT (i think 1.44 ?) and most definitely S-OFF I would say ? Still don't know for sure.
D. I updated from 4.1.2 through 4.2 to 4.3.
At the 4.2 upgrade the phone went on black screen twice (1st time at ~25%, and 2nd time after 100% was complete). Panic is useless in that case. I went to the bathroom, blasted the strongest lights I had and exposing the phone to the lights, I pressed the power button til the capacitative buttons blinked. After a while the phone rebooted and resumed exactly from the point it blacked out before.
The update to 4.3 went smooth as oil instead.
This is each step I did, following the quoted guides above:
1. Extract the stock recovery file (should be .img) that can be found in the OTA update firmware.zip file, in the firmware package (in some other thread it's explained the path of this file). Place the file in the folder with your fastboot commands.
2. Make sure fastboot and USB Debugging are unchecked on your phone in power settings>fastboot.
3. Power down phone by holding power button and pressing shut down.
4. Once phone is shut down, power phone into bootloader by holding volume down button and pressing power button.
5. Once in the bootloader navigate until it says fastboot usb (must have phone connected to computer).
6. Open up a command prompt where your fastboot commands are located.
7. Type the following with the filename of the stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
8. Navigate in the bootloader menu to the reboot option to restart your phone.
9. Download the latest SuperSU and place it on your sdcard.
10. Perform the OTA update normally.
11. Once it finishes installing, power down the phone like before and get back to fastboot usb.
12. Flash back the custom recovery using fastboot (I used latest CWM available):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
or
Code:
fastboot flash zip <recovery>.zip
13. Then type :
Code:
fastboot reboot
14. Enter recovery by navigating with the volume buttons. Once in recovery, flash the zip of the SuperSU file you previously downloaded.
15. Restart once flashing is complete.

[Q] HTC ONE bricked help installing stock

[Q] Stock in recovery, "maybe" with no ROM

Greetings.
I wanted to try out the new Kitkat ROM, so I rooted my phone, and somewhere somehow I ended up with a phone that only can acces the recovery and the bootload menu.
I have tried out some different guides in the forum, but with no success.
If I push a ROM to my device, and using TWRP to install it, I get E:Unable to mount '/data' and E:Unable to mount internal storage.
If I try to use the ADB Sideload, I get same errors.
How do I install a ROM on my device, right now I just want it back to normal.
Currently I got:
*** Tampered ***
*** Unlocked ***

Do you have an OTA cable and an SD card handy?
I'm just wondering if the data partition on your ROM is broken :-/
Are you willing to S-off using rumrunner? Your hboot is 1.55. From there you could wipe the device and install a fresh recovery and then try sideloading a new rom. Isn't one of the options in recovery install zip from external usb location or something of the sorts.

Also have you tried adb accessing it from the bootloader screen. Try pushing a 4.4 compatible recovery like clockworkmod 6.0.4.3 or 6.0.4.4 and see if that fixes things. 4.4 only works on those two I believe. Or rather it only worked on the AOSP build of KitKat I'm running from birdman over on rootzwiki.

Hi,
You can use the "HTC One AIO kit by Hasoon2000 v3.1" to push the ROM and flash it through TWRP Recovery 6.0.3.1

Hi @stovie_steve, how's it going, all good I hope.
Well the OTG + stock would let him "start" flashing a ROM, but it really depends on/if how badly the data partition is corrupt. When flashing a ROM and selecting wipe, it will also wipe the /data partition (then again that could also be achieved through a wipe/format in recovery).
If the partition is truly corrupt then flashing the ROM will either result in it not completing the install or bootlooping, because it's unable to write its information to /data; remember the custom ROMs (at least usually) include a kernel (boot.img), /system and /data. so as soon as it tries to access /data something will go wrong (even if the flash says it's successful)
I'm wondering if there are any ROMs out there that don't make use at all of the /data partition, such a ROM should be able to install and boot as long as during/after booting it doesn't try to access the /data. Don't know if that exists or is even possible. This thought comes from the old days, where if you had a corrupted hard drive you'd stick in a bootable floppy/CD and run things off of that (similar to a Live Linux USB/CD).
What would be really good is if someone could make a "Live OTG + USB Stick".
EDIT: OOOH INSTERESTING, I just looked at an AOSP ROM and it does NOT HAVE a /data section, wonder if that would work, even with a corrupt /data. Obviously can't take pictures or anything else, but might just boot up.
But not only is he not able to mount /data (indicating a good chance of a corrupt partition), he also has the "OS-1.00.000.0" (which refers to firmware), and for hboot 1.55 it should be 3.xx.xxx.x, so that's not nice either. hopefully if he posts a getvar, we can take a better look.
Got the same issue aswell, tried the 4.4 cynogenmod rom on xda forums. Possibly it has messed up (curropted partition).
U can try sideload/push or an OTG cable aswell. Personally recommend that you show it to an expert.

[Q] Stuck in Bootloader and cant flash a ROM

I think I totally messed up my HTC one sprint.I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and then flashed cyanogenmod 11 on it with gapps4.4.2 and It was running pretty smoothly but the battery life was terrible and no one could hear me when i was on speakerphone. So i tried to get it back to stock rom and now I am just stuck in the bootloader. When i go into TWRP there are no ROMs there anymore. I must have wiped them by accident. Additionally I was never successful in getting S-OFF i tried RumRunner like 20 times with no luck. Please help me
When i run the what I think is the correct RUU I get "ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

I think I totally messed up my HTC one sprint.I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and then flashed cyanogenmod 11 on it with gapps4.4.2 and It was running pretty smoothly but the battery life was terrible and no one could hear me when i was on speakerphone. So i tried to get it back to stock rom and now I am just stuck in the bootloader. When i go into TWRP there are no ROMs there anymore. I must have wiped them by accident. Additionally I was never successful in getting S-OFF i tried RumRunner like 20 times with no luck. Please help me
When i run the what I think is the correct RUU I get "ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

1) if you go into twrp and mount only data partition and nothing else you can plug it into the computer and place a rom on the phone
2) did you use the 3.05.651.6 RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576995
Read the FAQ, questions 14 - 16. Also question 26 for issues with Window 8.1.

It will not allow me to mount the "data" partition. When I click on it, nothing happens. The only partition it allows me to mount is the system.

I was going to ask the same question

[Q] soft bricked HTC One with no OS installed

Hi ALL!
First off I'd like to say thanks for such a forum! Its the first go to place for me for anything android.
Yesterday I did something terrible and very careless from my side. I un-intentionally deleted the /system partition on my HTC One while playing with it and now I am paying for my careless mistake. I have been looking for possible solutions here on this forum and elsewhere on the internet. I did manage to do an *adb sideload push* of a custom ROM and tried to install that but for some reason I cant mount some partitions from my sdcard for example /cache.
I tried exchanging between TWRP (latest) and CWM (touch latest) but no solution so far with the adb sideload method. So I have no OS installed on my phone and the phone sometimes hangs in the HTC Quietly Brilliant display page or sometimes it wouldnt even go in to the Recovery mode but keeps rebooting.
I am clueless at this point, please shade some light on my situation.
In the attached pic you'd find the output from the *fastboot getvar all* command and the phone is S-ON and Unlocked just to mention.
I really appreciate it...

I tried installing Android_Revolution_HD-One_51.0 and One_4.18.401.8_odexed ROMS. I tried installing the Android_Revolution_HD ROM by adb sideload method both for the CWM and TWRP recoveries and it would actually start the AROMA installer and goes on to install but its premature installation. It just finishes fast (sometimes with a success flag but mostly with an error message saying META_INF error -- sorry i havent logged that error, so I am not putting the right wordings).
But now I am downloading the RUU for the 2.24.401.8 OS and I will give it a try. And I will get back to you.
tnx
are u s-off? make sure ur using twrp 2.6.3.3 and not 2.6.3.4, also do a full wipe/factory reset before you try flashing the rom

Hi,
No, I am not S-OFF at the moment. ( I have attached a snippet of my status on the phone from the fastboot getvar all command on my first thread)
So currently I have no OS installed and I am not sure if there is any tool that can do S-OFF without installed OS. I tried rumrunner tool but it didnt help either ( I read that its the option to go for if one has hboot version 1.54, which I happen to have)
So the error messages I am getting are as follows.... ( this is in CWM recovery)
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 on /cache failed: Invalid argument
W: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 /File exists)
W: Can't unlink /cache/recovery/command​
I appreciate your helps!
If you flash 2.6.3.4 TWRP recovery, and click install, is your SD card size 0?

TWRP 2.6.3.4 recovery is not working correct. It hangs saying "Entering Recovery...". It is something strange.
Fastboot erase cache in fastboot mode
Install the latest twrp by using the fastboot command.
Sideload through adb or store the ROM in your USB, mount USB drive using the usb-otg cable and then flash it from there.
Both methods should work

I have tried Sideload having both latest recoveries of TWRP and CWM. Had problem to mount the cache partition (look earlier post). I will have to resort to the USB-OTG cable.
But I got myself in to a big and real problem now. I locked the oem from the fastboot command line thinking to run RUU.exe but it was a BAD BAD choice! Is there any hope for me now? Now my phone says
*****TAMPERED*****
*****RELOCKED*****
*****Security Warning*******
Oh boy! I am in real trouble. Please help!
SOLVED!

HI,
I finally managed to get the phone up and running. Thanks all for your prompt support.
So, what I did was, first I had to unlock using HTCdev unlock and then installed the latest TWRP recovery for the HTC One ( I think its 2.6.3.3 for HTC One and 2.6.3.4 might be for the HTC One X, because I couldn't manage to install it properly and I couldnt find the 2.6.3.4 version in a download list for the HTC One)....anyway after installing the custom recovery I tried installing stock ROM ( latest from Android Revolution HD --- One_4.19.401.8 OS version.
Oh I am so relieved...its been a good learning process anyway but not so nice if one has just one phone to play with. I probably have missed some important phone calls during the time my phone was down
Once again Thumbs up, Kudos for all those who answered to my desperate questions and Mike1986 for the nice work you are doing!
