Hi,
I just got a brand new HTC One 7 (WWE, CID E_11) after my last one died. Im trying to root it and install a custom recovery to install arhd or insertcoin. I used htc one toolkit for this. Everything seemed to work ok, but after booting the installed rom (ARHD or insertcoin) the phone reboots after i see the login screen. I somehow managed to reinstall my phone again yesterday, as it was a complete (soft) brick.
I used this to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759000
Now does anyone know why I get a reboot loop? Does anyone know if i installed this stock rom if I get the normal OTA updates again? And do i need to relock the bootloader for this? I would really like to install stock roms again but I'm a little anxious after yesterday. (I've installed custom roms since the old HD2/HTC desire, and also on my old HTC One M7, never had any problems, I think it has to do with the Hboot).
Hoping to hear from you guys,
best wishes,
Olaf

Flash the stock firmware 5.11.401.10! I think your firmware is mismatched.
By flashing the firmware after installing the Rom I might fix the bootloop? Or is the stock firmware necesarry to go back to stock? Sorry bit confused, thanks for your response btw

Flashing the firmware might fix the boot-loop, since you flashed the stock rom! If it does stop the boot-loops, you can re-install TWRP or CWM to get the custom recovery.

when using a sense custom rom you need to make sure you use twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery, do not use the toolkits, most of the time they are out of date and not updated, this would explain the bootloops, take the time to learn how to use adb and fastboot, you'll never look back.
nothing to do with the firmware and no need to flash it, if your firmware was knackered, you would have a hard brick.

First of all thanks for the quick response. I know how to use adb and fastboot (at least I think).
If i would (in this order) do the following, would that be correct?:
unlock using htdev
Flash twrp 2.6.3.3 using fastboot command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (naming twrp 2.6.3.3.img = recovery.img)
reboot bootloader
Flash SuperSU.zip in TWRP
reboot twrp
flash custom rom (ARHD).
The thing is it isn't a normal bootloop (which normally would come with the HTC logo all the time)
It reboots when I try to setup the phone (in the setup menu). Restoring the phone with the link in the OP, ive recoverd my phone, but I would still love to use custom roms again.

It seems that insertcoin had a problem in it's installer:
http://insertcoin-roms.org/category/devices/one_m7/one_sense6/
the changelog says: Fixed SuperSU install (might solve the sudden reboot issue in SetupWizard)
It left me without any rom to install, so i had to sideload ARHD, which it didnt want to install via sideload... The next step I isntalled stock again, which I'm using right now.. but I miss xposed framework and other tweaks too much..
I'm gonna try to unlock it again this afternoon and install insertcoin again, but this time ill make a backup first. Does installing the recovery wipe anything?

no it doesn't wipe anything, but you can use xposed and its tweaks on stock rom, you just need to root first, just install TWRP, enter recovery and again upon exit it will offer to root stock rom for you.
Hi all,
So let me explain. I was given a HTC One for repair and the person just told me that her child did something wrong in the settings and the phone didn't boot anymore. The phone was on an older stock ROM and didn't get past the HTC One logo. Something was corrupted because the startup sound was cutting off before it had played like it should.
anyways: the phone is S-ON and I have unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. I can install CWM, CWM Touch and TWRP but can't install any Sense rom because of the antique HBoot 1.56. I can however boot into CM 10.2.1 stable with no problems and ARHD 9.4 but with nou touch. On both ROMs firewather and rumrunner fail (usb debugging is on and root also for adb and apps).
Possible fixes I think off:
-Install an older ARHD version like 42 or 61 or 62 that is compitable with my firmware (but can't find them anywhere);
-install an insecure kernel compatible with CM10.2 (can't find one);
-Somehow just revert back to a Sense rom, wich I can't.
I just want S-off but every s-off tool fails. Is there another way to instal RUU exe or ZIP without S-OFF or at least upgrade the damn antique radio image that belongs in a museum ?
Thanks in advance

Hboot 1.56 is not that old the current is 1.57! You can install RUU being S-ON the RUU must be the same or higher version, signed and the bootloader has to be locked/relocked. For Sense ROMs you might try TWRP 2.6.3.3 it seems to work best. ARHD 81 should work with your phone you have to wipe in Aroma before you install it.
I couldn't get ARHD 81 to work, but if someone is in the same situation here is what I did:
1) Relock your bootloader with this command:
fastboot oem lock
2) download this signed radio file : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=file-thanks&fid=23622183712460395&mid=70&download_id=t0kvkiiupbv0r5gakftasij7d5&tid=1412801244&hc=731cbdd91c39e4104b17bb47e6236fd9614838fa88b158009a1006be6b2ec5ea
3) Place the file in the same platform-tools directory for ease of use and insert this command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
4) Once the phone reboots into a black HTC screen enter:
fastboot flash zip <name_of_the_file_here_without_quotes>
5) Normally it should succeed and tell you to immediatly flush, if it fails reattempt to flash the zip and it will succeed.
6) Download your prefered Recovery, mine is CWM but TWRP is even better sometimes and enter:
fastboot reboot-bootloader and then fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
6B) EDIT: to be able to flash a recovery IMG with S-On you need to unlock you bootloader again.
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlocktoken_bin or whatever your unlocktoken is called
Then accept the security warning on your phone with the volume keys and power key.
7) Once succeed enter recovery and flash Maximus HD
8) Once done please enter bootloader again by pressing vol- + power or bij selecting advanced, reboot bootloader in recovery.
9) Because we're S-On, we need to manually flash boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img and if you get bootloops fastboot erase cache
Once this is done you should be able to boot into the rom and everything should work. Flashing this has upgraded my hboot to 1.57. Now I will report if I succeed to get S-off.
Well I couldn't find an RUU that was signed and for my version. Also I don't know why but I couldn't get ARHD to work. Maybe I need s-off or another recovery but even with elemental X it didn't boot.

Okay so what I want to suggest you do is for starters go in unlock the bootloader as re locking it before doing anything is pointless when once everything is fixed is when you'd need to do it. Also I recommend that you install the custom recovery first and flash the rom from there rather than trying to flash it using fastboot as then at least we can get a standard recovery message which may be easier to find an answer for, I recommend using the very latest twrp recovery from their site as that should be able to flash all roms but make sure you install a stock sense 6 rom as the phone needs to be on the latest update with the kk radios and obviously that means having an hboot of 1.57 which would allow you to install custom roms that are running on kk otherwise you'll have issues and if you've followed what I suggest and it doesn't work a logcat and even a video of what is actually happening will help a lot to see what's going on but first things first is make sure that phone is on the latest hboot and the latest radio.
Also what version of phone is it? is it a m7ul? I'll send you an ruu link if I know what version we're looking at

Thanks for the info and help.
The phone is allready been returned to the owner, it was just a repair job because the phone was out of waranty and nobody in this town could fix it. in fact, some idiot that didn't know what he was doing flashed the wrong hboot version (other phone/model) on it somehow and it was a mess.
I did manage to repair it trough an RUU I found I think or I did install a custom sense 6 rom... I don' remember exactly but it had a mismatching hboot version that's all I remember

I've got a problem with my HTC ONE m7
Tried to install ARHD 81.
So I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then flashed the ROM.
Rebooted the phone and it stuck to the white HTC loading screen.
Waited for about 20mins. then rebooted the phone. tried flashing the ROM again but no luck there.
So then I did a recovery cache wipe, flashed the recovery, and flashed the ROM again but still stuck.
In desperation I did a wipe... and deleted the actual ROM.zip.
Now I've tried to Sideload the .zip (and original oexed) but get stuck/fail when nearly done.
I've tried to download all the "EU" RUU's and install them but get either error 170 (USB) or error 155 (unknown)
Also tried to download RUU.zip but that didn't work either.
So now i'm stuck! If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
Thanks!

Looks like you did not flashed arhd using twrp version 2.6.3.3.
flash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery and adb push arhd:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
command prompt will be unresponsive for the duration of the push (5-15 min)
then in twrp 2.6.3.3 select "install" and browse to find arhd zip file, select it and swipe to flash then reboot phone.
forget about using a RUU because all RUU available for your phone require S-OFF. (downgrade)
Thank you so very much!
Works brilliantly now!!
Cheers mate! :highfive:
Waiting for device msg after recovery boot
Hi. Please, help me.
So I unlocked my M7 successfully. Then I've tried to make a recovery - I used CWM: recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m7.
But something went wrong. Here's log:
C:\mini-sdk>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
But nothing happened, just screen with "root menu". I tried volume up and down - nothing. Power button - nothing. When I repeated command I got:
C:\mini-sdk>fastboot boot recovery.img
< waiting for device >
What can I do now? Why it went wrong?
In fact I don't even know what was my Android or Sense version after unlocking.

you can't boot recovery unless your on hboot 1.44
you have to flash the recovery to the phone to boot to it
Unlock the bootloader at HTCDEV
then from fastboot USB

I rather ask than be sorry, so...
After my newbie recovery flashing I have now TWRP and CWM recoveries. How can I delete them (then I'd like to flash CWM once and proper)?
An second question: I'm not sure how to choose between recovery mode and standard. When I want to get to recovery I do it through fastboot. But is it enough to power down if in recovery and power up for standard mode?
Edit:
When in CW Manager I go to recovery mode I recover in TWRP recovery instead of CWM.

you don't have both recovery's ..when you installed TWRP it overwrites any other recovery. If your goal is to flash roms you want TWRP 2.6.3.3 on their.
What is CW Manager and why do you need it ?

Clockwork ROM Manager. It showed both recoveries - TWRP and CWM. But then I flashed Stock Recovery, then TWRP 2.6.3.3, then ROM, then again... Well, after few hours of searching, trying, learning differences between flash and boot, and adrenaline kicks when my HTC One didn't boot or stuck somewhere I manage to flash ARHD ROM. I'm quite proud of myself. I wonder though how much trash I left on phone after all of this (yeah, we girls like to have everything in order...)
And if I can - few more questions
I noticed that battery drain is much faster - I probably should calibrate it. Is there a best-for-ARHD-app, or any should be ok?
And in some apps, like Goodreads, I have now additional menu bar at the bottom. I'm sure there is some mode for removing it (specially if stock can do that), but I can't find it.

Theirs no left over trash on the phone (except the CW rom manager)
the phone works with partitions. Only one thing can occupy the partition at a time. Whatever you flashed last is all that's their.
The menu bar you mention is only their on GPe roms .. is this what your using ? Their should be no menu bar using ARHD 81

It must be a really bad coded app ..that menu was gone by version 4.3 and your Rom is version 4.4.3 - 6.09.401.10

Yeah, they probably don't care about updating to Google changes. But it's not the same menu as 3 dot menu on Stock which was easy to hide. It's not really menu for an app, 3 dots button doesn't even work and rest of buttons is for phone navigation. Any ideas how to hide it?

I need help regarding HTC One M7_ul 801s PN0714000
This phone has problems with google processes being stopped and it has all kind of chinese apps and bloatware and I would like to install an european rom on it...Phone is s-offed, it has supercid and modelid is PN0711****
Now, I managed to find one kitkat zip file and tried to flash it with "fastboot flash zip" command but i keep getting remote:02 data length is too large...I tried renaming it to PN0714IMG.zip, it didn't help as well...
Is there anything else I should do(beside s-off and supercid) to be able to flash any rom on it, and should I rather go with RUU exe file...if so, can someone please point me out to a place where I can download official roms...I noticed that htc1gury is down...
One more thing, bootloader is locked, phone is not rooted and has no custom recovery installed, and I would like to keep it that way if possible...supercid and s-off were done with Java card, if it is an important info at all...
Please, let me know where I'm making a mistake and if you need any additional info....I apologize one more time if this is a wrong thread or if the answer was so obvious and I was so blind to find it
Tnx in advance....
will method 1 works on HTC one M8 ?

Hello there,
today I tried to install a Custom ROM on my M7 for the first time.
So I unlocked my device with htcdev.com. Btw: it wasn't possible to skip step 11 and I'm using Mac.
So my device is currently unlocked with S-ON (as it can be seen in bootloader).
I want to flash custom recovery and my problem is step 7. ("In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot boot recovery.img (this command might not with newer hboots)").
When I try this command (on Mac: fastboot-mac), my phone freezes with both ClockworkMod Touch [OFFICIAL] and TWRP. My hboot version is 1.61, maybe that's the problem as mentioned. But I don't want to flash a recovery, maybe I can't use that device after doing that.
Any tips for me?
Best regards

"fastboot boot recovery.img" was only possible on hboot 1.44. Flash your recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Use latest TWRP recovery.
thx, it worked. phew
Hello guys,
im new to the HTC world, mostly familiar with Sony devices, have a friend who has given me their HTC which isn't booting up, it only boots to the start screen then goes blank, she told me the phone was charging and there was a power surge wherever she was and since then the device misbehaves and doesn't boot past the start screen.
how can I flash it back to stock, as from my experience it seems like its a software issue.
Hey Guys,
Really strange situation here with my HTC One:
It is originally from T-Mobile US although I have brought it to Europe now.
Basically, and I think this happened when implementing an OTA update from my rom, I have lost all access to recovery... any recovery
1) I have erased and re flashed recovery from fastboot, tried both TWRP and Clockwork.
2) I have tried different firmware versions, albeit I don't know which combination is most likely to work...
3) cannot access recovery from phone or via fastboot/adb command, cannot factory reset, cannot flash another rom...
4) Even with hboot locking unlocking and then reflashing of Recovery, still no access.
Funnily, the rom was working fine, but I could not upgrade or change it without recovery...
Phone details below, any help you can provide would be most welcome, I'm not a developer but I've been using custom android roms on phones and tablets for some years and have never encountered this.
Many Many thanks!
Phone Details:
- Carrier Unlocked with T-Mobile code
- Bootloader unlocked with HTC Dev method
- Super CID
- S-OFF
- HBOOT 1.54 (was also on 1.57 but have changed as part of trouble shooting)
- Radio 4T.29.3218.08
- OS 6.09.401.5 (have tried a couple of firmware versions)
- Rom MaximusHD 44.0.1 (now wiped due to troubleshooting with locked/unlocked hboot)

So what exactly is the problem, does the flash fail? Or successfully flashing but won't load? Does it bootloop or get stuck on a particular screen?

i guess your problem is you see that written " Entering Recovery " but it wont . right ? if it is the case then you have to lock the bootloader and unlock it again after you unlock it type fastboot erase cache in the fastboot mod and then flash the recovery and then clear cache again ( reboot bootloader maybe and then enter recovery )it will definitely work. Well worked for me Best of Luck

When you enter recovery, be it from reboot or from bootloader, it shows "entering recovery", then goes dark for a second (you'd expect TWRP screen next) and then goes back to "entering recovery" and doesn't move.

Try this one http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of -recovery".img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader menu. :good:

Tried playguy1 method but with the 2.7 TWRP I was originally on. No luck, after relock/unlock/wipe cache/flash/rewipe Cache I was still stuck in entering recovery.
After that tried reboot/wipe cache/ flash Danny201281's suggested openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7 and erased cache / reboot...
WORKED!!!!! Many thanks to both guys!
Seems related to ROM/Firmware/Radio/TWRP version combination but it worked fine before.
Danny201281: Is there a particular reason you pointed towards openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7 ? Most stable version for HTC One?
Again, great help! Thank you both. :good:

It's not the first time I've come across this problem here on the forums, and in every case that is the version that always works. Unfortunately it doesn't necessarily mean an end to your problem you may find that is the only recovery that will successfully load.
You can try some different recoveries and see what happens but when all else fails use TWRP 2.6.3.3.
HTC Butterfly S (901s) (HTC_622)
Unlocked bootloader S-ON
Hboot 1.57.000
TWRP - 2.8.5.0
Hello. Would somebody be so kind to help me with my case? I've read a lot of topics and googled even more, but still no luck :crying:
I had unlocked my bootloader and made a full wipe of everything I could). Installed [UNOFFICIAL][RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery Project 2.8.5.0, flashed InsertCoin 7.0.7 for Butterfly S from their official site via aroma and after successful it stucked on boot or just boots into bootloader. I've tried fastboot erase recovery (failed "not permitted"), fastboot erase cache, flashing boot image one more time, installing [5.0.2] GP's Kernel v1.2.5 and still nothing.
While trying everything I can, I managed to wipe stock rom completly, so now I cant boot to use adb, I can operate only through fastboot.
I really looking forward to any advice from the community((
May be I am using a wrong recovery or I need to flash another HBOOT? Or I even do not know...
If S-ON, need to flash boot.img again.
You can find it in the zip file.
Try it.

Thank you for your response, but I've stated, that had tried that already.

maybe a bad download of the rom? did you try to download it again?
Solved!
So, I managed to solve this. May be someone could use my steps to solve similar problem.
After I had failed to boot IC 7.0.7 I decided to try to S-OFF my device and tried it with rumrunner method, but it failed on 8th bottle, nevertheless I've installed Falter kernel because RR method had a conflict with my stock kernel. After that I tried to install IC 7.0.7 again and installed boot from the zip through TWRP, not from adb and it finally booted.
After that I've installed new 1.25 kernel and now everything works flawless.
Thanks everybody, who tried to help me! + karma))
