ICS upgrade - boot loop - can't fix - bricked?

I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)​
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip​
But at step 3 I get the following:
C:\adb>fastboot flash lib lib.img
sending 'lib' (155648 KB)...
OKAY [ 27.553s]
writing 'lib'...
(bootloader) signature checking...

Please help! I’m close to considering myself properly bricked, and using that as an excuse to go and buy a OneX.

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

I should have mentioned, I already tried that. However, I will try it one more time. I tried so many things - if I try it again in isolation, I will be 100% sure I am telling you the truth.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

What is the status of your bootloader? Is it locked, unlocked or relocked? If it is locked you may have to answer n to is the phone rooted to give temp root. If not on page 76 of this post there is the same issue.

And fyi it will not change the h boot version, only the main ver which is reported at the end of the script.

One more thing, I would try flashing another ROM, i came from Niks Sense 4a rom, and the script worked with no issues.
Remember you will need to manually flash the boot.img of the rom as you are S-ON.

Open a command window and then type in the command:
adb shell
If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery HTC one

Hi -
Thanks for any help in advance. I'm a bit of a rookie round here, I've rooted and flashed my past 3 HTC phones but taken the easy route every time.
But today, I've used ADB commands to flash the revone binary and unlock and get s-off on my HTC one m7. It took me several tries, but it eventually worked (or at least said successful). So my HBOOT 1.44 says UNLOCKED & S-OFF.
So onto the next step. fastboot flash recovery recoverytwrp.img
...
Another success!
So, I reboot into bootloader and prompt recovery boot like I'm about to get HAM on twrp and flash some superuser files. It shows me a developer screen full of red print saying that it's booting into recovery, and then after a while, it just rebooted back into system.
It does this every time. I reflashed the image, I flashed the stock image, I tried the hansoon tool. each time I can't actually get into the recovery.
So this is where I'm stuck. Why can't I get anywhere with this?
EDIT & ANSWER;
Sprint phone needed Sprint TWRP image

Have you tried

This.
Just do evrything again until you finish installing custom recoveries. Before rebooting, erase the cache with "fastboot erase cache"

Gave that all a shot all over again. Still can't boot into recovery

Is fast boot off?

Use the original cable your One came with, go into bootloader power/vol - then open a cmd window
Now connect the One with your computer, don't use a USB 3.0 connection, and a different one then before.
In bootloader choose fastboot, that should change to fastboot USB
In cmd window point to your fastboot directory where you also copied the recovery to, I would try CWM touch for now.
Type cd c:\fastboot (or what your toolfolder is called)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
That installs the recovery, you can select it in bootloader abd boot into it.

Try, remaining unlocked, go back to s-on (you can always take s-off again) and check your recovery (enter and flashing) under s-on.

Is that something I can do with the revone binary? To be honest, I have no idea how to turn security back on. I can relock it and that may be about it.
I stumbled upon another thread, shares a common theme as my issue, but with a different twist. Using a superboot.img as a rooting method instead of flashing it via recovery. It somewhere says that the boot.img needs to be flashed as well, however I can't find a decent boot.img to flash. The superboot tool seems like unproven territory right now.
Here's the other thread, I've leafed through it and found no determinable answer for my particular issue.

Do not apply revone to return s-on!
Use fastboot by "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Be convinced that bootloader is unlocked before return to s-on.
Regarding your issue: I suspect that a certain code in HBOOT tries to install TAMPERED flag when sees custom recovery, but isn't able to do it correctly because s-off (bypassing security) and a certain mistake or exception conducts to reset phone.

I've just skimmed through the posts and didn't see this mentioned
If you are still able to boot into the system, download either GooManager (for TWRP) or RomManager (for CWM) and use either of those apps to install recovery. Once done, you can use the app to boot into recovery instead of the fancy ADB commands or button presses.

So both that method through ADB shell and GooManager require root. Every rooting method requires recovery, so I don't have perm root yet.

You quoted me, but answered not to me.
Read a post #26 from my link above

Possible Solution
Hello I have the same problem and the solution was:
1. Settings - Energy- Fastboot uncheked
2. Flash Recovery usin one all-in-one-kit
3. Erase Cache 3 times
4. Unplug to PC, and load into system normal
5. Turn off phone - via stock menu NOT FORCE TO OFF pressing the off button
6. Wait 2 minutes, and boot into HBOOT - Power + Volume(-) pressing
7. Choose recovery
Ready.. May these work for you! Let me know

HTC One (M7) Stuck on Bootloader Loop

Hey guys,
This morning I tried flashing Viper's ROM to my HTC One with ClockworkMod Recovery but it failed. I rebooted my phone but it just took me to the Bootloader screen, so I rebooted again but the the same thing happened. I tried to go into recovery but it didn't let me so I flashed TWRP Recovery to do a Nandroid backup. When I tried to do a Nandroid backup it didn't do anything. I tried a couple of times but to no avail. I've been trying to flash roms through fastboot but it doesn't let me, it tells me that "Target reported max download size of xxxxxxxxxxxx bytes error: cannot load "rom": No error. I've been stuck ever since.

You need to do a sideload thru recovery. Hookup a usb cable and have the Rom you wish to install on your computer.

Do I install it through the "fastboot flash rom.zip" command?

I did the same thing, the above guide works.

Thanks for all your help guys, I finally got it to boot up and not restart. I just need to sim unlock the phone again.

[Q] HELP - Bricked HTC One m7 (m7ul)

Hi,
I am after some help trying to get my HTC One back up and running.
I unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev website and installed cyanogen mod.
This was working fine for quite some time, until I recently wanted to download an app that was only available on stock phones.
I tried editing the /system/build.prop file to change the version to fool the app store but that didn't work.
Then when I restored my backup build.prop, I think I got the permissions wrong or something and the phone rebooted and went into a boot loop.
Then I followed a guide to get twrp on the device which worked.
Then I followed another guide attempting the restore the device to stock using the commands
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
.
Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. All I can do is hold down power and volume down to get to HBOOT and Fastboot. If I try and load recovery it reboots to the same menu.
What else can I try, or do I now have a new paperweight?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Also,
I have tried flashing the stock recovery but I get signature errors.
Code:
C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-r24.0.2\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery_2.24.980.2.img
target reported max download size of 1443966976 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8752 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.140s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.846s

OK,
Never mind.
I was unable to unlock my bootloader because I was typing fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin instead of unlocktoken being one word.
One I fixed that the twrp recovery started again.
Once I opened that the phone apeared on my PC as a storage device.
I copied a cyanogen mode zip to that directory then installed it via twrp.
Now I have cyanogenmod working again.
Yay - no longer a brick.
I guess I am out of luck with reverting it to stock if the RUU I need is not available for my carrier - is that right?
If so I'll stay on cyanogen mod and not worry about reverting to stock.
Next time I guess I'll take one of these nandroid backups while the phone is still stock. Hindsight.

I cant flash the recovery in my honor 4x

hello to all, accidentally delete the recovery of my smartphone and I have not been able to flash it using adb commands in Windows 10 therefore I can not restore the smartphone to the factory mode. please help

What error it gives when you type command 'fastboot flash recovery <recovery_file>'?
How did you deleted the recovery?
Also the end ("I can not restore the computer from the factory") doesn't make any sense.

Can you still boot normally and do you have root access?

Also try to re-unlock bootloader and if it doesn't work, re-lock and then unlock again. So we can be sure you don't have problems with that, because possible fix would otherwise make your phone worse.

Well then your best choice is probably to try to re-install firmware and hope this does something. Do it with dload and force update method, because it doesn't use default recovery.
Or if you happen to have root access you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify&hl=en or similiar app to flash recovery while device running. (Or 'dd' command)

Nothing works

I had a similar problem: in fastboot I can install twrp successfully, but when I reboot, boot always to the stock emui recovery...
I don't know why.
I thought it was already installed twrp, I don't know why now boots to the stock one...
Does anyone can help me? Thanks.
