Okay, so before i go ahead and post this, I'm well aware of where i should be posting it, but i'm apparently a new member and therefore cannot post in the HTC One Development section.
I'm using the T-Mobile HTC One (M7_ul) and i wanted to convert into the Google Play Edition. I took the OTA update from t-mobile that bumped me up to 1.27.531.11, and it took me about an hour to realize that t-mobile decided to block all ways to s-off with that update, and that i would somehow have to get back to .8. My bootloader is unlocked, with TWRP 2.5.0.0. and root. I flashed the Stock Sense 5 1.27.531.8 rom (although rather buggy, i keep getting errors with the phone program abruptly stopping, but its not an issue seeing as im not staying with this rom). Im under the assumption that if i did that, as long as my hboot was still 1.44, i'd be able to use Moonshine or revone to s-off. I tried both, and neither of them were a go. I keep getting an Error-2 with revone, and moonshine gets to Moonshining (10) and then says Error: dont drink and shine. Now i'm not a complete noob when it comes to unlocking and rooting HTC devices, but ive never decided to take that extra step to s-off. everytime i think i have it right, moonshine and revone give me errors. would someone please tell me what im doing wrong, or at least point me in the right direction? please?
Your phone was updated to .11 it's more than just the Rom that was updated, you just gotta wait. I do too my phone came with .11.

I see. so if i'm understanding you correctly, I can't just flash the .8 rom and do s-off, T-Mobile patched it and im screwed?
Yeah that's it, I've read that one person has got it to work but idk if they actually took the ota or not. There would be a workaround if we had an RUU for .7 or .8 but we don't. So I guess we just gotta wait for someone to figure something out.

that's why you can't, you should not have posted in dev section (and not here either but in Q&A) anyway did you try this:

You could use HTC dev unlock until then though, just reset everything when s-off does come? That's what I've done and I'll just use s-off to make it look like nothing when (hopefully) it comes around again

I'm unlocked already, I'd just really rather convert completely to the GPE using the mid/cid change method, so if HTC decides to upgrade the One to KLP when its released, I won't have to go back to stock Sense 5 to get the OTA

ask (in the thread not via pm)the author of that guide if flasking a firmware package + stock rom would do and what other steps you would need to take
you can find the firmware packages here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355814
It says in the op that the firmware zips are unsigned, which means I would have to be S-off to flash them.

so updating all you fellas, no method i tried worked I managed to find a stable rom for 1.27.531.7. my thought process was to flash to .7, unroot, reflash stock recovery, relock the bootloader, and try to install the .8 OTA. Didnt work. I tried to bypass, got the OTA .zip from my storage, rebootRUU and flash the OTA firmware. Didnt work either. The progress bar hung at about 75%(i tried this 6 times, same result). so i unlocked the bootloader again, reflashed twrp 2.5.0.0 and had planned on just restoring the nan i made. I didnt realize that when you flash a RUU, even if it doesnt finish, it still formats your /sd/data, so backup was gone, by this point i had already done the wipe expecting it to be there, so through all this, i ended up stuck in twrp with no OS, and for some reason the ADB sideload feature didnt work so i couldnt push a .zip to the phone. after an hour and a half of frantically searching, i just decided to run the .11 official RUU, so after 14 hours, im back to where i started. Wayyyyy more trouble than its worth. just gonna flash a stock rooted 4.3 GPE rom, and when HTC and T-Mobile decide to stop screwing around and push the 4.2.2 update, ill just reflash the RUU.
Thanks for all the help, gents.

Dude, you were doing some serious stuff to your phone, you have to slow down a little. I recommend reading as much as you can before you attempt anything you just did. The reason I am saying this is that, when flashing firmware, the progress bar always sticks at about 75%, that is normal, then you reboot and it finishes the install. You probably got that firmware from the OTA you're talking about installed and didn't know it.

I let it reboot completely about 5 times, and checked the fw version each time. i promise you i didnt get it. I know the bar hanging on the OTA is normal, i had plenty of learning experience with that on the One V

Yes i can. But nothing else :/
Try re flashing the recovery. Find the file somewhere and in fast boot usb in the bootloader flash it with a command prompt. You can find more precise instructions around the forums, but if you can get into recovery you can flash another ROM and should be okay from there. I had a bunch of problems with holics too.
Edit: you might be semi-screwed though. If you can't get it usable through re flashing the recovery you might have to re-lock the bootloader and run an RUU.

I believe i tried to do that. I tried Clockwork recovery and also some i had laying around my computer. I actually re-locked the bootloader then unlocked it again. Im not quite sure what the RUU is, maybe I'm just spacing it out. Anyways, I'm sure somewhere I've miss stepped and could have fixed it. I don't care if i lose data, id just like to use my phone again
Try flashing wcx's recovery. CWM gave me nothing but problems.
The RUU is the factory image that the phone shops with. Just google "xda forums vivid RUU" and you should be able to find it from there. Just follow he instructions in the post and that'll return you to stock. Then you can re unlock and re root from there.

Especially since the thermal daemon doesn't seem to work on these phones, or at least with some of the custom ROMs, so it's possible that if you overclock and overheat, the phone won't protect itself. Just something to consider.
I think if you remove the underclock (these phone come stock running at 1.2GHZ, but it's a 1.5GHZ processor! You can safely run at 1.5 all day long no sweat. I've been running it at 1.5 since day one. Things are plenty snappy at 1.5 in my opinion. YMMV.

It's mostly the handful of sensation ports floating around that have that issue IIRC. The ones based off of the holiday framework are usually okay.
Is there something specific you've gotta do to remove the underclock or is it just setting the kernel to what you want it in the setup?
And yeah, at 1.5 this phone is an absolute beast.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I am pretty sure there are changes in the kernal code that need to be made to allow you to set the CPU speed. I believe the min-max limits are established in the kernel code, and then the running freq is determined by config file(s).
That's why with some kernels you are stuck with one freq, while others are variable between different ranges. I think the kangbang kernel is 2.0GHZ, while some others are 1.8 or 1.7.
It would make sense for the thermald problem to only be happens on Sensation ports, as the thermald.conf still has a note in it about being from the sensation (and modded by good ol' mike1986 himself). I think the problem must extend past the conf file though, because the only difference is in thermal thresholds (mike's version allows the phone to run a bit hotter).
I gotta remember one of these days to replace the thermald exe with the one from the stock rom and see if it will then work...
When it's not working, it constantly polls and poops junk out to the log, and eats up battery like it's going out of style.

Fastboot erase cache command should fix your problem. After that you should be able to boot into recovery after flashing a new recovery.
This should be a reply to the main topic in the Dev section, but it's my first post. This is the only place I can post...
I'm new to Android, I've been an iPhone user since the beginning. I remember going through the steps to jailbreak and unlock the 1st iPhone by hand via command line. And I've been jailbraking iPhones ever since. Before that I was flashing ROMs to my Windows Phones and modding Xbox's. Now I'm ready for Android, but I'm stumped:
The HTC One is my first Android phone. It's the Sprint phone so I'm attempting to flash with ViperROM 1.0.3. I'm unlocked running TWRP and have followed the tips I've found to a 't'. But every time I flash, ViperROM boots, takes about 3 mins, Reboots, begins Upgrading Apps (a random number of apps each time, once 37, once 83, once 232) then finishes at the lockscreen. Unlock and the HTC setup begins. The keyboard disappears (from existence, from the shade notifier it want me to pick a keyboard, but won't let me), I never get network service, and after a few minutes the phone reboots. Once it reboots it comes to a black screen with on the notification bar with the battery and time. Then reboots again after a while. Never stops.
What I'm I doing wrong!? I'm wiping everything clean before I install, I've checked the MD5 of the ZIP, I've re-downloaded the ROM, nothing is working. What am I missing?
Maybe you should start with viper 1.0 and see how that one goes

I've figured out the problem, but no solution yet.
It's TWRP. For some reason it is not mounting /system. Not found a way to get it to mount /system on boot. You can mount it via 'Mount' from within TWRP and install viper without any problem, but when it reboots it's still not mounting /system
I tried using a plain stock ROM had the exact same problems. The OS can't see /system.
Any one know how to fix TWRP so it mounts /system? I've already tried overriding it with CWD then reinstalling TWRP. Didn't work. And CWD isn't HTC One Compatible, yet.
When you rooted did you do this step?

Sorry, not boomer, it was Hasoon. I'm away from my computer and could only remember there were two O's in his name. :silly:

good luck. and make sure your bootloader is locked before you do it.
See my post on incremental updates in this forum or basically use TWRPs sideload adb feature in advanced . You need the Hassoon2000 all in one toolkit for the HTC One. Watch wwjoshdew on YouTube he covers it. Press Shift in the all in one root toolkit folder and select Run command prompt here. Once you do that put the phone in adb sideload mode, wipe all caches and then sideload the zip file with Viper 1.0.3 to your phone no need to change the name of thefile. TWRP will rename this to sideload.zip for you and begin to reflash your new ROM. When it is complete it will reboot to system. Make sure you make a Nandroid and never ever do a factory wipe in TWRP as I found out the hard way. It WILL erase your backups.lol

Did you do the advanced wipe from TWRP before flashing the ROM?
I got my phone working again, at the least, by running the RUU.
I'll attempt to install vipersROM again this weekend and see if re flashing the TWRP works.

Yes, I did. But installing the ROM wasn't the problem as I was able to mount /system from within TWRP. Wouldn't mount though when booting the ROM.
*Update*
Ran that RUU and re-flashed to stock on Monday night and ran stock for the rest of the week.
Yesterday I tried it all again and all went well with out an issue. (Flashed viperROM 1.0.4). Aside from one re-flash this morning after I tried installing some AirPlay app that halted the phone and kept it from starting up. But after a quick re flash without a wipe, that fixed that quickly.
It was a bad recovery flash. So, in the future if anyone has this problem and finds this post and skips to the end for an answer:
I used Hassoon2000 All-In-One Toolkit for HTC One
- Re-Lock Bootloader
- Re-flash to Stock via the correct RUU (extract the *.ZIP and run setup.exe. In this specific situation: Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.7_RUU.zip)
- Unlock Bootloader
- Flash Recovary (i.e.: TWRP)
- Then one of the following to Flash a ROM:
+ Sideload a compatible ROM via ADB (In this specific situation: viperROM for the Sprint HTC One)
+ Upload ROM to Phone via DroidExplorer and Install directly from TWRP
Glad to see you got it figured out. :good:
Hi!
just reviving the thread, had the same issue you see, but on phone there's no imei.
pls help!
As the title says, I need to hard brick this HTC One. I offer rooting, repairing and factory unlocking as a part time job and had this customer bring me this phone which he tried rooting himself and now regardless what rom is flashed the phone just reboots and doesn't pickup a cellular connection. I tried to reflash it myself and even tried to flash the ruu but gave up after so many fails and due to the phone just rebooting can't s-off so now the customer wants me to hard brick his phone so that when it boots up it doesn't show the prompt on the splash screen the phone been tampered with so he can just pay the insurance deductible and get a new one. Not sure how to go about Hard bricking since I never hard bricked a HTC device before only a Samsung device. Any help would be appreciated on how to hard brick it or fix it if possible.
I think you could probably try flashing something from a different phone. I hear that screws things up nice and good.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
that would be fraudulent first of all
secondly I assume you are still able to get into recovery if so then the device should be fine
verify that the rom that your customer downloaded was not downloaded from the international htc one, verify if the download was not corrupted.
post what steps you have followed trying to ruu, really this forum is all about helping but at the same time everyone should be aware of the dangers but most of all own up to their own actions if they end up with a brick.

When the customer brought me the phone he had installed ViperOne for the Sprint version which what this phone is, what he had installed before that i wouldnt know. What I have tried is flashed the stock firmware thru twrp and cwm and being that its s-on i have to flash the boot image thru fastboot but still reboots and no cellular service. i reflashed the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader and attempted to flash the ruu zip thru the fastboot oem rebootruu and fastboot flash zip rom.zip command and i get a error. I tried to get s-off so that i flash the ruu this way but due to the phone rebooting every few seconds it won't allow Moonshine s-off to finish which ends up giving me a error due to the phone rebooting. So what else can i do to fix this phone or hard brick to where it wont even bootup so an insuarnce claim can be done.
Since it is mentioned that the phone does not get celluar connection, I am assuming that the phone still boots. So when does it actually start rebooting itself?
There are two kernels in the ViperOne thread
- Flashable Kernel Only Zip 1.29.651.10 (LATEST)
- Flashable Kernel Only Zip 1.29.651.7
You do not need to go into fastboot to flash the kernel, unlike previous HTC phones unlocked bootloader on the HTC One allows for kernel/bootimage to be flash from recovery.
I'm just a bit puzzled as to how far the phone boots up too before it reset?
Have you tried a ##786# in dialer and then menu / reset?

After factory reset it will alow you to go thru the setup and then ill get a black screen with just the notification visible and after about 5 minutes the phone will reboot after that it will boot on that same black screen with the notification visible and then after about 2 minutes the phone will reboot and keep doing that until i boot into the bootloader and select power off. does the same regardless if it stock based or aosp based doesn't matter.

Is it 1.31 if so have you tried this method to flash the RUU? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44243635
It sounds like your customer flashed a non Sprint Rom prior to flashing ViperRom.

Why not just take it to the Sprint store? Sounds like the phone itself is defective. There was an article on here that Sprint stores frown on root, but they run the RUU and take it back to stock and if it still acts up replaces it. The phone is less than 6 months old, and unless it is beat to heck should be under warrantee services from Sprint.
Plus that would save $150 in deductibles if the phone is defective.

Sounds to me like they flashed a GSM Rom before flashing a CDMA one.

Yes it's 1.31 and I rooted this phone on this firmware without issues so not sure what the hell the dude did. I haven't tried this and will try it out but I found out that he doesn't have insurance with Sprint but with Best Buy so not sure how that will work as another customer of mine told me he's taken phones for exchange and the Best Buy rep don't even look at the phone and just issue out a replacement so he's going to try this. But i'll keep your link bookmarked just in case I come across this again. Thanks to everyone that helped.

Based on that info this method will fix the phone unless it is in fact a hardware issue, which I highly doubt.

My thought (having always bought my phones at Sprint) is that Sprint stores have service support personal at some of their stores that also can do basic repair services. Even if the phone was bought at Best Buy, the service provider is still Sprint and they should be able to run "tests" on the phone.
HTC One should also have a one year warrantee, and since the phone only has been 6 months old, should be covered unless abused.
So shouldn't hurt to take it to the Sprint store. Sprint is all about customer service. Worth the chance to get it fixed or replaced verses having to pay for insurance, etc. But you don't know until you try and worse they can do is tell you no...
what is happening here sounds very similar to what happen to this user http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45086289
read thru it and see if this is the same problem, also what error do you get when trying the ruu

I am going to try to keep this as short and simple to understand. I was trying to install the Google Play Edition Rom and followed a video on YouTube (because I am rather new to rom installation). At this time I also unlocked my boot-loader, and rooted my phone. So rooting and unlocking boot-loader for me and my phone went smooth, no problems. But now I am trying to flash/install this rom and it will boot with the Google boot screen and the set-up for the phone launches, however after 3-4 seconds it re-boots and is in a boot loop of this. I can easily restore my phone to get out, however I am unsure about what I have done wrong. If someone could try to help a noob out that would be great.
Extra Info: Using the TWRP latest edition for recovery menu, not CWR.
I think the OP's are always a little unclear on the exact requirements of flashing tbh, but i believe you need to be S-OFF to flash a GPE Rom.
Also the latest firmware for GPE wouldn't do any harm, although the devil is in the detail
Ah ha! That seems to be the problem. Can you link me a noon friendly guide?

I used rumrunner.
Plenty of info in this forum tbh.
Can I install stock recovery and then try to take a ota to update. Will I loose root and will I loose my rom? Will I be able to reinstall a rom or will I need to reroot?
you can try, you shouldn't loose root or anything but once you have unlocked and flashed stuff I doubt stock recovery will like your system enough to take the update. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53518227
HOW Change ...... ???

From my understanding, as long as /system is stock, you can install the stock recovery and then take the OTA. Afterwards, you'll need to re-root your phone. Make a backup of your current setup before you get started. Once you've taken the update and get rooted again, you can always restore your backup.

I will give it a try this weekend and let you know how it goes.
Edit does not work but thanks for helping me.
Must be the fact that I am s on. We need that s off before we can do anything as far as updating
This one is tricky. I flashed the stock rooted rom from mikmik, I then unrooted and flashed the stock recovery via fast boot. When applying the Ota, it fails because the build.prop is not stock. Comes back with an error like /system/build.prop unexpected.

I just tried it to and did the same exact thing except I had boot loops as we'll.
when I flashed back to the stock recovery to take the recent OTA, I had a reboot bootloop like every 2-3 minutes, I was ready to throw the phone against a wall, then it hit that I read recently someone else had the same issue, and mentioned a factory reset fixing the issue, yup after a factory reset, the reboot bootloop was gone, I just now rerooted and flashed a backup

yes, I was able to take the latest OTA, and no, it did not help with my signal at all, my device didn't drop calls or anything, but it has a hard time latching onto lte at times before and after the OTA.......

Do we know how to get passed the build.prop error?

this might be a really stupid question (and my first post no less), but does performing a factory reset take me back to stock, unrooted form?
currently i am rooted with S-on, TWRP and Chainfire SU.
i followed a youtube video to root and im basically clueless with regards to doing anything more.
thanks in advance.

no, a factory reset will not unroot you, you need to restore a stock backup, then flash stock recovery in fastboot to unroot while s-on

Thank you. I saved a stock backup (i think) while rooting so ill see what i can do tonight. fastboot is the white background screen that uses volume buttons to select, right?

Hey everyone.
I've spent the better of the last three hour scouring the inter webs, Google, and these forums trying to find the answers to my questions - but to no avail (I've found partial answers, but I am afraid a partial answer could lead to a total brick).
Here we go:
I bought one of the first Sprint HTC One M8's through Amazon. Here are the details:
Model: 831C
Android Version 4.4.2
Software Version 1.12.651.17
Unlocked but S-On (Using TWRP)
Naturally, right out of the box I rooted it. However, I did not save the original ROM.
* I want to restore the phone to its original state so I can accept the OTA update and hopefully address the god-awful cell signal.
I've found a lot of stock recoveries online, but none that match 1.12.651.17.
Do I need to find that specific recovery to flash to my phone? Will another one work (e.g. 1.54.654.13)?
I've never worried about saving my stock recovery in the past (been rooting since the HTC Evo days) but it looks like not doing so finally caught up with me.
Thanks in advance.
PS I did find something 1.12.651.17 related here, but how to flash this to my phone (or whether or not it will brick) is beyond me. I've downloaded all 6 files and am waiting to figure out how the heck to get them to my phone.
