[q] sprint htc one = bricked???!!!!!

I tried to install a rom on my htc one, which I later learned was for gsm devices only. This action got me caught in a bootloop. So I tried to install ruu 1.29...the problem is my image version is 1.31.....so I idiotically deleted all my phones data during my attempted installation and it still didn't return my htc one to stock form.I unlocked my bootloader again and reflashed twrp.both work fine.but my pc doesn't recognize my phone when I plug it in via usb.WHAT DO I DO???!!!!
P.S.: yes, I am a noob.:

Search around... Several other people who don't read before flashing have done the same thing and it's been answered a few times.

Not to sound like a jerk but it's balling to me the number of times people ask this because they flashed a GSM Rom. Does nobody read the OP of a Rom thread?? It's an expensive device... Take the 10min to read !

Maybe 10% and that's being VERY generous.
The lurkers are part of that 10% they search and find what they need to fix their problem

same problem

Do not flash roms from international forum

Sorry, but there seems to be a new post every other day about people borking their Sprint phones because they flash a Rom from the "HTC One" forum.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
-------------------------------------
ROMS from the international forums WILL mess up your phone and you will be lucky to fix it after that! I get you want the shiny new 4.2.2 but those ROMS will not --I repeat-- WILL NOT WORK ON THE SPRINT HTC ONE.
Sure, they used to, but once they moved onto 4.2.2 they will not flash.
I feel this should be sticky in every thread on the Sprint HTC One forum.

People are still doing this?

Would this be helpful to anyone? It's kind of on/off topic... A direct link to HTC's copy of the HTC One update for Europe?
And by a direct link, I mean an HTC URL?

I mean, the proof is in the pudding...by which I mean the constant stream of "bricked plz help" threads.

So all of these stupid people that aren't reading prior to flashing and you think they are going to magically read this? I really hope this prevents a few but I doubt it.

Combination of both. Some devs say not to flash if your on sprint, some dont.

From what I've seen all the major ROM's say in some fashion or another that it won't work for Sprint so it's mostly people just not reading. Maybe they could make the font about it possibly destroying phones if you are on Sprint bigger...and flashing...surrounded by naked women. Then maybe people will see it.

Unless your a Dev or know what your doing I wouldn't flash non sprint things... I know the partition labels and boot.IMG stuff so I have gotten things to work but not for a noobie

I have never seen so many people flashing the wrong roms as I have seen with the HTC One...If people would read then they wouldn't have these issues but we all know they won't read this either. You bought a Sprint HTC ONE, why would you not come to the SPRINT HTC ONE Development section to find a rom???

Sooo.....I flashed this rom called "NOTFORSPRINT" and now I'm stuck. Help me NAO!

No no no... You don't want to do that! First. Go to Apple.com, that part is right, but you have to download their Symbian Factory ROM. Then put your phone into DFU mode open ChevronWP7, and while holding shift select the .ipsw file you just downloaded and you'll be up and running with the latest version of WebOS in no time!!

Can't down load update

I have kingroot installed no custom rooms and software version 4.3. I have tried to update my software and it stops at about 25% every time. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

You will have to do the Restore to MJ5 tutorial in the general section.
Root normally screws up the update.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

What if i wanted to remove everything from the phone root/safestrap and go back to stock?

Root doesn't screw up the update- Kingo does. I was in your exact shoes.
I did the MJ5 restore, rooted, did the OTA update and then did step 10 again for root. Works perfectly. Then I did Drakey's GPS Fix and now everything works great.

I'm sorry, that is incorrect. Root will mess up an update. Kingo roots the device, that is it.

Perhaps anecdotal, but I went in circles with Kingo. Couldn't unroot, couldn't update. Its method of rooting is not the same as other 'conventional' ways.
After restoring and rooting via the MJ5 restore process, I updated to NB4 with no issues. I didn't need RootCloak or anything of the sort. There are others. I haven't read of others successfully updating w/Kingo root. I could be wrong.

I did remove the root using kingroot web site but the safestrap was still there. I could not up date the phone. So i reinstalled kingroot again and iam back to square one, a rooted phone but cant up date.

open safestrap uninstall recovery then go to your app manager and uninstall bootstrap then unroot

So here my problem like an idiot i tryed to unroot with out deleting any of the apps and programs (safeboot,titanium). So i had to to reroot and the safestrap is still there. I have dont see this file in application manager, but if i restart my safestrap comes up on my screen. Its safstrap 3.71 (twrp v2.6.31) i dont see a delete button.

I have been buried in XDA threads for a few years trying to learn as much as I can (thanks for that by the way)
The title of this thread is Can't download update so I hope I am asking this in the right place.
Plus over time I have come to learn that jerrycoffman45 is damn good at this stuff...
First off when I go to the MEGA site (https://mega.co.nz/#!Hd1QnA7b!MV5i7du4oim9zKLArQl51tTYiymqIXMhaALsMjFHRyQ) to download the "Coming from JB" for KNOXRAID KITKAT ROM V5.1 it works normal until it gets to 99 percent.
I've tried it on all 4 of my computers with the same result = is there another way I can get it?
Secondly, after I install the AllianceROM (thank you RErick) and am setting it up, my phone starts playing the boot animation like it keeps restarting like every other minute or so.
I really want to use the AllianceROM and could not find anything related to this when searching the thread or the entire forum.
Any help would really be appreciated!!!

Try using Internet Explorer or Chrome to download from Mega. It is a picky site.
Try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. I have had to do that a few times right after installing a ROM to get it to boot properly.

try downloading the mega app then downloaded it on your phone with that app now for alliance rom sounds like you might have a bad download if there is no md5 to check i try opening the zip on the computer usually if it is bad it will give a error if the download is good reread the op for the rom and make sure you are following the instructions to install the rom and this is not the right thread for this you should have started a new one if none of this works pm me
edit try what graydiggy said first

I was going to suggest the mega app, but since he seems to be having trouble with booting, it was pointless to mention.

I used to reed these threads and told myself that I would not waste the developers time with questions I could find the answer to my self...
That being said I did follow the instructions to the tee
I also tried creating a new fresh slot in safestrap and wiped it and flashed it a number of times following the examples given at different points of the threads
I have learned to follow the process that drakeymcmb has posted (wipe 3 times flash twice) on every install I do especially it its not working
I have 3 separate zip files downloaded to cover the corrupt file issue BUT I have not tried graydiggy's suggestion
If that does not work I will PM you if I figure out how to do that...
I try to give you as many thanks as I can and understand why people donate = you guys deserve it
Heck, I have paid good money for support as an IT manager and the techs were not as helpful as you guys are
One thing more, could you please direct me to the best thread to learn the proper protocols for XDA posting...

right, right, I plan to RUU as soon as I hear it's out so I can see if the reception is really improved at my house with the firmware update for the radio....just won't know it's out because I'm obviously not receiving OTA notifications on LiquidROM (official ones anyway^^).

The update was released in Europe this morning.
Look Here.

Anyone heard anything good or bad about this update for the people who got it over seas?
Did it help with their reception issues? Or is it only Sprint M8s that are experiencing this?

i wan't to say its just us since it seems to be issues with spark, s5 owners have similar problems on sprint. Don't quote me on that though :good:

Any news on when this will roll out to US? My data doesn't want to stay connected. CDMA only mode doesn't help. Only way to get connectivity back is to restart the device. Toggling Airplane mode stopped helping.

Anyone knows if this reception problems affect that sometimes YouTube fail to stream...

Try this....first obtain your MSL.
Open your dialer and enter in ##3282#
Hit "Edit Mode"
Type in your MSL
Hit "Advanced"
Hit "RTSP/HTTP Setting"
Under HTTP proxy IP delete what you see there and type in 0.0.0.0
Under HTTP proxy port delete what you see there and type in 0
Reboot the phone and you should be able to stream YouTube. I guess it doesn't like the default Sprint servers, not sure why, but this should work for you. Let us know the outcome.

Thanks I did your suggestion and at the moment I haven't had any problems...
Maybe you have knowledge in this problem too, I bought Talon for Twitter and instagram previews don't load in the timeline. Apparently I am the only having this issue and I don't find anyone on Sprint network to verify if they had the same problem...

No, I'm not familiar with Talon. I'm on Twitter and everything seems fine, not on Instagram though. Is it a Flash file that handles the previews? Do you have an ad blocker running?

SuperSu in Android L

Hi,
Was anyone able to get supersu working on this phone? I tried to flash the zip v2.38 but that didnt work.
Anyone else who would've tried?

Same here. I hope someone could get root working on lollipop.

Read the thread on General Discussion about Lollipop for Mi3. Thanks. It's already there. I am already rooted.

I did that and it was still not working thats why I made this thread. It keeps popping up su binaries are not installed and quits.

I myself rooted and doesn't have any issues. Make sure the zip file you are downloading is not corrupted. You can check it via simply opening the zip file, and if it is open without any error then the file is not corrupted.
Also update all the apps to latest since I had the root issue with Titanium backup pro old version. It should work 100%
