Need help - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
Just wanted to know if I could relock the bootloader on a HTC One because since I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my HTC One I am unable to update the device to Android 4.2.2 even though i have received the update it download's the update completely but doesn't continue with the installation process... Also on the screen that comes up when you continually hold down the volume down and power button at the same time I see a message that says TAMPERED ... so if you could please let me know hoe I could relock the bootloader or even help me in a way you think I could resolve the issue it would be great ...
Now I also do not want to unlock the bootloader nor root my older HTC One X because of this issue... But if you think its not an issue please provide me some link/help ...
Thanks in advance :good:

you need stock recovery and stock kernel for the update to work,
or just follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423683
if you are on 4.1.2 at the moment i recommend you S-OFF the device before updating, because you will not be able to later

HTC One Dev Edition Factory ROM?

Hi all,
I want to thank you for your help right off the bat!
I have an unlocked dev edition HTC One - I first tried to flash a recovery, tried to root and then add a rom.. i then figured out I didnt need to Root because when the bootloader is unlocked, you can just flash a rom and the Rom should have root in it. (At least I was told this)
I currently have a custom rom on here but How do I restore to factory settings with bootloader unlocked just like it was shipped to me? When i tried to restore through the RUU thingy, i had to relock the bootloader and then flash the stock image and this causes the dev edition not to really be a dev edition because it's locked once restored.
Is there something I can do or a step by step video? Thanks again

Hi,
I see this here but will this restore the recovery for the Dev Version of the HTC One? I am trying to make the device as if no one touched it sent from HTC with boot-loader unlocked, stock recovery, stock rom.. right now I have the updated rom 1.29... but the recovery is clockwork mod and the boot-loader says *Tampered* and the Unlocked.. when i boot up the One, the htc error is at the notification bar which says your device experience an odd recovery or something like that and you have the option to send HTC a report or not and it goes away.. im thinking this is because of the receovery not being stock.
I gave this device to someone who traded with me and im looking to help him restore it to factory settings. can someone help?

This was not the mean while decided to buy the dev edition...
Did any of you experienced such a situation? can you please advice?

[Q] [SOLVED] Vivo boots straight into bootloader

Little problem in here. I've got tried to update IncS but something went wrong and I'm here.

A little problem here; you did not give us enough information on what exactly you were doing to your IncS.
It appears you may have been trying to run the S-Off downgrade procedure or you simply tried to run and flash an older RUU?
At this point my suggestion would be to go to HTCDEV.com and download the last and final ICS RUU for the IncS and use that to get your phone back to a working state.
tried to s-off and failed
Device is't not recognized after boot into bootloader by RUU
is there is needed any drivers or sth?

When you ran the Gingerbread RUU to achieve S-OFF, I assume there was an error code of some sort (ex. Error 131 or 170 or something). Can you please tell us which error code it was?
In the meantime, please download the latest and must recent ICS update from HTCDEV.com as tpbklake advised. I'm sure you need a phone to use.

Ok, if you tried to S-Off, then you missed the very first step. Since you have hoot version 2.02.0002, the first thing you must do it UNLOCK the boot loader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com.
Since your HBOOT screen shows a LOCKED status, that means you didn't even do that step. Otherwise your HBOOT status would show either UNLOCKED or RELOCKED.
If you follow the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com you will end up with all of the correct drivers you need.
Unlock bootloader procedure is stuck on the selecting yes/no in the phone. I can't select yes... "no" option goes ok, "yes" - cant accept.
When pressing the power burton few moments; phone vibrates only.
Any1 got this problem?

When you select yes/no did u use the hardware keys because it should work.
everythig is ok, I can switch between yes/no without aby problem but only no is able to be accepted. Then it's rebooting and stuck on bootloader again.
Is there any difference about the PC? Maby I should try with other computer? os?
Actually i'm working on Asus laptop with Win7 64bit

Make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 3.0 port.
I've tried with other PC, this time on WinXP, the same result. The only thing I can't do is selecting YES when phone asking about unlock bootloader.
I've no idea what to do..
---
When trying to update RUU, windows says "Device not recognized" after rebooting to bootloader. Any idea what's wrong?
---
And one more question. Is there any difference if I choose other region of IncS? I mean WWE or Asia or Hutchison? Maby there is the problem with accepting bootloader unlock?

No that wouldn't make a difference because the unlock token that your phone generated is what is used to generate the unlock.bin file, not the region you picked.
The device not recognized usually indicates a driver problem. Did up install the HTC drivers on the XP machine?
Finally, maybe the reason you cannot select YES is because the unlock.bin that was generated with a bad unlock token.
You might want to try and regenerate the unlock token and get a new unlock.bin.
In device manager phone detected as My HTC. New unlock code gives same result as old one.
Is it a brick?

Ok, do you have the HTC Sync app running on your PC? If so, uninstall the app, but leave the HTC drivers installed.
Also you never did say whether you we're using an official HTC USB cable or not.
You are not bricked. You can always download the official ICS RUU/ROM from HTCDEV.com and use that to get your phone operational again.
I know but how to do that with that phone?
I've got Desire HD also and there is no problem with detecting it in adb. IncS - not.
Tried also to create goldcard and update with PG32IMG.zip form latest RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_TWM_TW_4.10.921.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266252_signed and gets stuck like on the pic then reboot.

So does it always hang trying to update the radio? Is this what happens when you tried to run the RUU or does it not get this far?
When trying to update RUU the program stops on the bootloader reboot, then nothing happened. Connection Error (171)

Are you the original owner of this phone? If not, where did you purchase it and was it operational before you attempted to S-Off?
Yes, it's my old contract phone... and it worked before as well.
I've read about xtc clip. Will it work to unlock bootloader.

No, not since you now have HBOOT version 2.02.0002.
The XTC Clip only worked on the IncS with HBOOT 1.09 and below.
---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------
I had one more thing your could try when you attempt to run the unlock.bin.
Once the screen comes up where you try to select YES, have you tried disconnecting the USB cable to see if that would allow ou to select YES?
Ok, thanks for help anyway.
---edit
not helping.

Problem solved. I've just formatted HDD and installed fresh Win7 then RUU program worked smooth as well. Now phone runs new ICS.
I don't know what caused that issue but I'm happy that finally phone started.

[Q] Moto X VZW Developer, upgrading to 4.4.4

OK, so I've followed the newb guide to relocking my unlocked bootloader here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/noob-guide-unroot-relock-bootloader-vzw-t2571786/page4
I had issues getting the bootloader locked but found another guide here:
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/029f68b0a0
I used the command listed in the xml file listed at the bottom of the page, adapter to my phone of course.
After a few tried I got everything transferred with fastboot and the fastboot screen on my phone now says locked. My issue now is that the phone still boots up with the Bootloader Unlocked Warning screen.
Will I still be able to upgrade with the OTA? If not, what do I need to do to get rid of this warning screen on boot so that I can upgrade?
Any help is much appreciated, and I apologize if this has already been answered somewhere, but I've been looking for the past 3 hours with no success.
-----------------------------------------------
Nevermind, this has been solved.
I was able to upgrade even with the warning screen on boot. Hopefully this helps someone.

There was absolutely no reason whatsoever to "relock" your bootloader. In fact, it was very foolish to do this.
Glad you got it solved, but for future reference, there IS NO REASON TO EVER RE-LOCK THE BOOTLOADER.
Having an unlocked BL does NOT prevent you from taking OTAs.

So I have a HTC Desire 510 and I had happened to unlock it, but through trial and error of rooting I relocked it. When trying to unlock it again I get stuck at the bootlader unlock scrreen as to whether or not to unlock or keep it locked. I have the message "entering recovery" at the top and disclaimer message at the bottom and that's where it stays until I choose "Too Keep it Locked". I am clueless as to what to do. Can Someone Help me?

Happened to me, i had to go out and buy another phone. Stock recovery is needed to unlock your bootloader as it is part of the process. The device needs to wipe to unlock. Your phone will still work in normal mode but fastboot is pretty much useless until you can restore. Sorry. :crying:

Is there a possible way to restore at this point? Maybe a stock rom? When I go to HBOOT Mode it shows I have no .img files. Is there a place to get them and restore back to my phone?

unfortunately if you had them you wouldn't be able to flash them to the phone because the bootloader is locked without recovery. otherwise i would've done just that.

as of right now yeah. the alternative would be waiting for HTC to release a restore software. or having someone come up with a crazy way to get around a locked bootloader.

Just fyi, this doesn't do this: Removing Security Warning On HTC Devices On HBOOT OR FASTBOOT
All this does is unlock the bootloader. You'll actually get the Unlocked or Tampered (depending on what you do) warning by doing this. To reset the flag you'll have to trigger it so that it thinks it's not been tampered with... and to remove the red text, you'll have to flash a red text removed hboot, which is available on the forums for those with S-OFF.
The reason why I put these instruction s on here for people to get their HTC device unstuck or unbrick their device people would try to lock the bootloader it would only show security warning on hboot all they have to do is follow these instructions to get their device out of hboot or security warning it happened to me I have found the solution to get out of the hboot or security warning and I have figured it to re unlock the bootloader

Bootloader RELOCKED - HELP!
In bootloader i see "RELOCKED". When I flash again the bin file, it tries to reboot to recovery, but it enters in a loop (entering recovery for ea second, showing some lines and restart and so on), and the bootloader remains "RELOCKED".
PLEASE HELP!
I'm having the same problem. My boot loader says:
Code:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***
And when I try to unlock it by selecting yes in the bootloader unlocker menu the only thing that happens is that some text gets layered on to the menu, at the bottom the disclamer is displayed and at the top it says Entering Recovery...
But nothing ever happens after that. So the only thing i can do is select No instead.
I'd really appreciate some help cause I don't wanna have to get a new phone.

I'm noticing that most of you guy's are stuck in the bootloop after unlocking the bootloader but that's because you didn't flash a recovery now I'm also noticing and guessing that most of you guy's right here on page number 2 are not living in the USA and if that's the case then you guy's most likely have the 64 bit versions so you can never ever flash anything that's for 32 bit only now to help you with the recovery there's only one that's 64 bit for the phone you have and it's called Philz Touch Recovery so you need to search for that here in the xda forums and then after that follow instructions on how to flash recovery!!
