[Q] Bricked Sprint HTCOne M7

Hi Developers,
I need your help i have been a fan of this site for some time now and have found very useful information here. now i need your help once again.
I tried to unlock the Bootloader and flashed TWRP and CWM but when i try to bring the device back up SU is not granted Root access. i tried over and ocer again.
When i try to reboot the phone Fastboot/Flash recovery/TWRP or CWM the device hands adn never comes back up.
I even tried to do a Facotry reset and start over. This also did not work.
Can you guys please guide me on truly doing a factory reset so that i can try this again?
Thank you very much for your help.
Rgrds,

If you want to reset to out of the box stock, run the ruu.

If you can get into recovery, just restore nandroid. Or flash a fresh rom.

Make sure you are in the boot loader when running ruu and you have all the proper HTC drivers. If that's not it you can try searching Google for the error.

Dude. Just boot into recovery then on phone press mount usb. On your computer in your drives you should see your phones memory. Download a rom from the sprint htc one. Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834713 Once downloaded drag zip to storage. Once done press unmount usb. Then on recovery press install from storage. Click on your rom zip. Let it install. Reboot your htc one. Your good. You should have no more issues.

he also has to relock his bootloader to run the RUU

Fyi, because I see it misused a lot, "Bricking" man's it won't even power on, be recognized by any device, etc. If it just won't go into its ROM then that isn't a brick.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Mine fits the description of bricked better... All stock, no root, just using it as a GPS, left it plugged into the car charger when I went into the store but turned the screen off (that thing gets HOT). When I came back, no led, no power, nothing. Have tried connecting to the wall charger that came with it, to USB 2 and 3 on computers, left it charging all night. Not so much as a flicker... The computers didn't recognize anything connecting to them either.
Long hold of power (with and without either/both volume buttons) has done nothing.
What is left to try? I would rather not lose all the pictures from my vacation, but need my phone back for work.

I think that will be an issue as well. i did find a few posts that talk about the RUU to take it back to stock where the two messages would go away but the mirrors where this is located (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979706399752930) are all down.
I have the HTC One from Sprint. does anyone know where else i can find the RUU?

[Q] stuck in bootloop

while trying to get a recovery to work with no avail, i wiped cache and did a factory reset and now i am in a boot loop. wish i could remove the freaking battery. just got my phone today and the first thing i did was updated to sense 4.3. I then unlocked the bootloader successfully. I started having problems with flashing a recovery even though the bootloader said unlocked and tampered. twrp would not boot, but i got cwm to boot. the problem on cwm was i didnt have access to all the folders like the downloads folder that had the su zip. I did have avast already installed while i was trying to root(going to activate antitheft once rooted) i thought avast might be the problem so i uninstalled went back into recovery wiped cache and did a factory reset hoping cwm would access the folder i need nope. so i was calling it a night and booted up the phone and now it is STUCK. It was easier rooting my evo 3d with brick method. PLEASE HELP ASAP

I need help returning HTC ONE back to stock

Hey y'all. So, I accidently deleted everything on my internal storage when I was messing around on TWRP. I've downloaded ADB and the RUU. 1.29 file to return to stock, however it doesn't work because I need 1.31. I know I need to turn S-OFF, but I have no idea how to go about this considering every time I mount my phone, my computer doesn't recognize it. So I was wondering, what should I do to fix my problem? If it helps I'm running windows 7 on my Mac using VMWare Fusion.

Anyone? lol

You need stock? Or just to get back up and running?
To get up and running.....
First download a Rom and recovery (TWRP)
From adb type fastboot flash recovery recoverynamehere.img
Boot into recovery
In TWRP go to Advanced > ADB Sideload
abd sideload romnamehere.zip
To get back to stock....
Here is a guide to RUU on 1.31 if that's what you want to do.

I don't think linking this thread is a very good idea this is for the GSM HTC One and someone could very easily mess up their CDMA HTC One if they flash just about anything on that post.

Go with what Konfuzuin is saying, it will work. If you need step by step help I have done this on my mac and can get you where you need to be with out using Windows. Even if you get TWRP and a rom installed there is a very good chance you will be stuck in a bootloop. No roms will work so use the link Konfuzion provided to get the RUU to work.

Make sure anti virus and any firewalls are turned off including Windows firewall and try again.
If all that doesn't work try uninstalling HTC sync and the drivers and install the Universal Naked Drivers. I will link in a sec.

[Q] How do I upgrade rooted htc one to 4.3 firmware ?

I have found this question answered in opposite ways, but with my sprint htc one rooted with S-OFF how do I flash the 4.3 firmware ? Some posts say I have to put my phone back to stock then take the sprint ota updates, then unlock my bootloader once again. While others list that I flash a 4.3 firmware zip in recovery and that is all there is to it ? I just dont want to brick my phone, but I think I really need the 4.3 firmware badly. Running all 4.3 roms my call signal will be full bars then none without moving and most of the time no bars, but if I place a call my signal will stay on full bars this all being a place I have full signal, as I have a network extender and no other phones have this issue here they are all full bars constantly. Hopefully someone here can give me the right info on what I need to do and where to get the correct 4.3 firmware download if I can just flash it from recovery and if I can do that rooted or if I have to go back to stock. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You would want to flash the rooted 4.3 firmware OMJ posted it somewhere. The other method your talking about would be flashing the stock 4.3 firmware, which would work too.

I'll tell you what I did. First I updated recovery the latest twrp. Then I downloaded the firmware for S off users here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46123838
I put that zip in my adb folder on my pc.
Then flashed it following his instructions using fastboot commands.

We don't have an External Micro Sdcard so we cannot flash from the bootloader unless....

4.3 firmware needs to be flashed through fastboot. Recovery wont work.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot

I did all this, the phone booted up and then the touch screen stopped responding, Now ruu ing back to the first version.! I downloaded the 20 mb file and sent it through fastboot. Then nothing happened

I got my 4.3 firmware flashed on my sprint htc one flashed to straight talk verizon s-off with moonshine. What are the improvements that I"am supposed to see ????
I have had problems with all 4.3 roms and I have tried them all, my call signal most times shows zero bars when its full signal, sometimes it will go full bars but always goes back to none fast and the phone is never moved.
I thought flashing the 4.3 firmware would fix this issue but it did not.
Another thing is I use it on a verizon samsung network extender at home which its the old model the first model they came out with that was call signal only no 3g data were the newer model has 3g, but I notice it does this when I"am not home sometimes also but I have not really watched it while running errands in a good while. When I"am on the network extender when I call out or on a call received my phone will show full bars the whole time.
I think its working ok, but the no bars on my phone is annoying I mean I might as well not even have bars on my phone at all if they are not going to be accurate.
Anyone have any ideas ?

Attempted to install new InsertCoin [Fail]

It gets to the end but shows install error 7 at the end, booted anyways, now just bootloops to eternity. No recovery is accessible only fastboot now.
Tried to install 3 recoveries through fastboot all passed but none bootup, factory resetted through fastboot, no go still. Not in anyway meant to steer people away from the ROM, others are reporting it is working fine for them. I can't and a few others it seems. Phones aren't done for, just temp out for the count.
Will clean up the thread and make things prettier but need to get to work, hopefully this gets some attention. Thanks for any help guys, I won't be able to trouble shoot for about 10 hours or more depending on work things.

Were you able to restore your backup, or perhaps adb push a new rom ?
If not, what is your fastboot getvar all output?

I can't access recovery. Others have posted they can get into recovery and revert back. I cannot get it to boot and stay in recovery for more then a second. I installed the latest cwm recovery before flashing all was fine. Any link to sideloading. Will try when I get home tonight, on a backup phone right now at work.
