[Q] My One won't boot up, no OS?

Hi Guys
I'm in need of urgent help. I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader and was going to flash a couple of modded files, one was a more transparent weather widget. Anyways, I somehow ended up with my phone stuck at the "HTC, Quietly Brilliant" screen and it won't boot up. It say's there is no OS installed and I am completely at a loss on what to do because I can't for the life of me understand what RUU I need. I'm in the UK and I bought the phone sim free but none of the resources I've checked seem to be clear. Obviously I am unable to put a ROM on my SDCard as I can't access it so I have no clue how to just get my phone back to stock ... I came from an Xperia Ray where things were so simple. Why isn't there any software from HTC like there is with Sony that lets me reinstallt firmwares? I am at my wits end here with a two day old, £500 phone that I can't even turn on!
PLEASE can someone help me, I know it can be donw but I have no experience with cmd really and there doesn't seem to be any standalone tools to sort it out.
Thanks in advance.

Can you access the hboot screen on boot up and get into recovery?
If you can, try using the all in one toolkit to sideload a ROM.

Cheers for your reply ... Yes I can get into recovery and for further info I follwed a guide on how to install a stock ROM which I downloaded and follwed the re locking of the bootloader which worked but when it comes to installing the firmware.zip file it works but when it gets to the checking bootloader signature part it always fails and says remote 12 signature verify fail, I'm out of my depth here lol This is what I did:
How to flash?
(bootloader needs to be relocked)
Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.
I followed that but when it gets to step 11 it always comes back with this error message:
sending 'zip' (955862 KB)...
OKAY [ 44.588s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 161.891s

Decided to take it back to the shop and they just replaced it luckily enough so problem solved ... Thank f**k, I was getting worried and I'd certainly gone past the point of me being able to resolve the issues as even I'd lost track of what I'd done lol .. Cheers to redbull123 for even trying to help

actually you can search your pc temp folder for the romu.zip while the exe is running
This is the instructions posted by Scotty85
I'm just re-posting it for you

here is how you extract rom.zip:
Quote:
the .exe utilities can be finicky,so if you have trouble getting it to run, you can extract "rom.zip" in the following manner:
-start the utility
-check the "i understand" box to move on to the next screen
-hide the utility temporarily out of site
-search your C drive for "rom.zip". you will find it in a temporary location(it will be in a different spot each time you run the utility)
-open the folder location,and transfer rom.zip to a safe location on your PC.
-unhide and cancel the utility,youre done with it.
-rom.zip can be flashed using
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (yes do this 2 times)
fastboot reboot
Quote:
here are some directions to flash "rom.zip"
if youre working with a booted,operational phone,you can flsh the file in the following manner:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
cd c:\foldername
(cd c:\mini-adb if youve used any of my guides )
-place the zip file you want to flash into adb/fastboot directory
-enable usb debug,disable fastboot,plug in phone
-check for connectivity
adb devices (should return serial number)
-boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity again
fastboot devices
-flash the file
fastboot erase cache
fastboto oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. dont interupt it while the cmd window shows its writinging,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot
you can use this if you dont have an operational phone as well. you just need to manually put the phone in fastboot(select from hboot menu) then skip the "adb" commands and start with fastboot devices
to answer your other question,yes,you will need to re-unlock and re-install recovery after running the RUU. an ruu is designed as an "unroot" solution, or emergency fix,if other attempts have not made the phone operational.

what do you mean no recovery ?
at what point does the RUU fail? did you try the rom.zip instructions i posted above?
does your phone work in fastboot USB? what operating system are you using ?

alright no problem
put the phone in fastboot USB
and from the command prompt on the PC do
fastboot erase cache
that should stop the boot loop

my bootloader is relocked

[Q] Stuck in RElocked bootloader cannot unlock

Hello, I've been raking up the other xda posts all night and can't seem to find the right solution for my situation. Am a total noob so would really appreciate any instructions, whether to solve the problem or to point me to the right post. Quite lost here.
So, I've been trying to return my HTC one to stock (hk version; CID: HTC__622; modelid: PN0714000) and got into trouble. I used to have CM 10.2 with TWRP recovery. So I used TWRP to install what I thought was a stock ROM (not sure if I'm using the terms right) My current situation, in gist:
(1) Can only load into bootloader, if reboot normally then I get htc splash screen then black screen. -->Refuses to boot into the operating system!!!!!! All I get is the htc flash screen then the black screen until eternity (or I force reboot it by holding vol down and power button under strong light-- tip I got from these parts)
(2) Bootloader (top of) reads "tampered" (which I'm least concerned with) and "relocked"
(at one point it said "security warning" as well… but then that disappeared-- see below)
(3) I cannot use adb via either my Mac/ Windows, I have downloaded google SDK and updated HTC drivers on both machines-- adb devices command simply does not register my phone
(4) atm I am only communicating to my phone via fastboot commands… of which I know next to nth except what are commonly found in these forums…
(5) My machine is still S-off. Before my troubles, it was hboot 1.54, after messing around with it, it's now 1.55 if that makes any difference.
I desperate need my phone for the working week…. PLEASE HELP!!!
FYI: I'm on a Mac, but I do have access to a Windows machine running Windows 7
What I have done so far:-
(1) So I was trying to get back to stock, right? First thing I did was used HTC1guru's Guru reset. The ROM I installed was actually for the Asia WWE variant.
Anyway, so I installed it, and it worked, to the extent that I could get OTA notifications and downloaded the update. But HTC could not verify it and did not allow me to install the update. Because I wanted the Kitkat update, I looked up the net to see what could be the problem.
(2) The next mistake I made (probably a mistake) was to think that I had to relock the bootloader. So I did that. Now my Bootloader is relocked and I cannot, for the life of me unlock it again (I've tried going through the HTC dev steps and flashing the new Unlock_code.bin again but I can't unlock it)
At this point, the bootloader also read "security warning" under "relocked"
Subsequent to relocking it, I can't get into my operating system anymore. The only 2 outcomes I get on reboot are (1) HTC splash screen followed by black screen; OR (2) bootloader (if I do power + vol down)
(3) As one 'brilliant' idea followed another 'brilliant' idea, I also did the following list of silly and probably mistaken things our of sheer desperation. Throwing the kitchen sink in really. But none of them really worked because they all say sign not verified or sth to that effect-- I honestly am beginning to forget the order in which things unfolded… but if that's relevant, let me know and I'll try to recall more details.
(a) flash a recovery.img (stock, for both Asia WWE and HK version which I found on the web; and also TWRP)
(b) flash boot.img from Asia WWE
(c )tried rumrunner (can't do because adb won't work)
My latest attempt has been flash oem reboot RUU (then used zip of HK version 1.29.708 Rom zip)
and my phone is now stuck at the grey HTC on black background screen one gets after the first reboot RUU command (terminal has not prompted me to enter a second rebootRUU command yet!)
I don't know what to do. I don't even know if I should unplug the phone and redo the rebootRUU thing…
:crying: PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ok...
First flash a recovery(use Case 2):
No Recovery? No Problem​​
Oh sh*t here we can have several kind of problems Still no problem But let's first download the recovery.
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
(MD5 hash: 72067AEFB69541D40E8420D7AA46408D)
Case 1 - Normal error with unlocked and s off or s on:
Boot your phone into the fastboot mode
Eat a piece of cheese
Enter this command
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Followed by this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\path_to_recovery\recovery_name.img"
And enter the recovery and follow the next piece of guide
Case 2 - For some stupid reason you are s off (that's a MUST) and Relocked:
Sorry, you need this recovery:
https://www.mediafire.com/?ni177radvko5xu7 (If it doesn't work, PM me)
(MD5 hash: F2893CDC17C788B2E49AECEA8C02DCB4)
Boot your awesome HTC One into fastboot
Change CID to superCID using this command (make sure you used 8 times a '1')
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Enter this command
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait until your Pc recognized your phone again and enter this command
Code:
fastboot flash zip "C:\path_to_zip\firmware.zip"
(This may delete all your data)
Happy rebooting with this command
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Enter the recovery and let's unlock the bootloader...
You can unlock your bootloader using these commands(thanks @scotty1223 for your thread!):
[how to] lock/unlock your bootloader without htcdev(s-off required)
If this doesn't work in recovery because you get superSU or permission errors, use this tool here instead:
http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/guru-bootloader-reset/
You can simply push the ZIP file to your HTC One using one of these commands:
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_zip\zip_name.zip" /sdcard/bootloader_reset.zip
If this one results in supersu and permission errors, try these paths(Thanks @Sneakyghost for this advice!)
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_zip\zip_name.zip" /storage/emulated/0/bootloader_reset.zip
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_zip\zip_name.zip" /data/media/0/bootloader_reset.zip
Case 3 - You totally ****ed up your recovery and data partition:
Right now, I am pretty busy and I don't have time to develop this, check this guide there and post your question there, but pls don't spam @mike1986.
How to: fix a corrupted DATA partition on the HTC One
​
now you are unlocked and s off... so what we're gonna do depends on what you want to achieve... I didn't really get what you meant in the first post.. you want to be again 100% stock on a Asian ROM ?
with the unlocked bootloader and s off and the custom recovery you are pretty much able to flash the rom you want to the device... how to do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632736
or:
Bootloop, No OS, Totally f*cked up OS? No Problem​​
THIS WILL DELETA ALL YOUR APPS AND APP DATA BUT NOT SDCARD!​
First of all, make a factory reset in TWRP... then follow the next steps.
Now the key step here copying the rom.zip to your sdcard. You do this this way
Since you are in the recovery you should be able, no.. actually will be able to use adb commands
To copy the rom zip us this command:
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /sdcard/rom.zip
If this one results in supersu and permission errors, try these paths(Thanks @Sneakyghost for this advice!)
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /storage/emulated/0/rom.zip
Code:
adb push "C:\path_to_rom\rom_name.zip" /data/media/0/rom.zip
Now, in the recovery, choose install and select the rom you should've just copied and install/flash it.
After that make a factory reset, the standart when chosing wipe in TWRP.
Happy rebooting!

Hello, LibertyMarine, thanks for the response!
I've already downloaded TWRP recovery from the TWRP website, is the one you give me different?
Re: Case one-- I've actually tried flashing the TWRP recovery image before, but it doesn't seem to work. Thing is, I've idiotically relocked my HTC one now, so that might be the problem.
This is what I get when I try to flash TWRP recovery:-
fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img
target reported max download size of 1526722560 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9948 KB)...
OKAY [ 11.854s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

As to the last solution-- totally f-ed up OS etc…. again, I don't have TWRP… nor can I used adb

THanks again for all suggestions!!

Hello, LibertyMarine, thanks for the response!
I've already downloaded TWRP recovery from the TWRP website, is the one you give me different?
Re: Case one-- I've actually tried flashing the TWRP recovery image before, but it doesn't seem to work. Thing is, I've idiotically relocked my HTC one now, so that might be the problem.
This is what I get when I try to flash TWRP recovery:-
fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img
target reported max download size of 1526722560 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9948 KB)...
OKAY [ 11.854s]
writing 'recovery'...

Yeah... case 3 needs a custom recovery.. but you won't need that one anyways.. because your data partition seems to be OK

[Q] Please help me get my HTC one back to stock.

To keep it short. I've bought a used HTC one with CM installed. I wanted to return it to stock and googled it. I found out I needed to run the RUU to completely revert it. My phone looks like this: imgur.com/v74yW6S now and this: imgur.com/A3qTtgU is the getvar all. I downloaded the RUU which corresponds with my cid_num and ran the program. I thought it went well until the program stuck at "checking headers" on 5 percent. And to make it even worse the phone doesn't turn on but returns to the bootloader whatever I do.
How do I fix this?

I guess you are using the 4.x.401.x RUU which is causing problem for many users here. You can use a reset rom instead of a ruu to restore your phone.
unlock your bootloader
flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
push and flash this reset rom: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-1-zip/ using twrp recovery
Select yes when asked to flash stock recovery and radio and select no when asked to root
boot your phone and go through the setup
take all ota updates to latest version
then flash twrp recovery again if your need to root your phone

Download the 3.62.401.1.zip from here http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/401/ Rename the file " firmware.zip"
And put it in your fastboot folder.
Boot the phone to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. In the command window type.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
<--- case sensitive.
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Make sure fastboot usb is connected then run this ruu exe on your pc.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/
Then you can unlock and reroot. If you want to update to the latest take the last few ota updates before you root the phone.

Hi, recently I owned my HTC desire 626s but when I was unlocking bootloader and rooting accidentally I broke the system and now sends failure messages all time. could someone make a clean rom stock backup and upload it for flash it?

Could use one too

This would also help me out as i accidentally deleted os while trying to reset with twrp.

Lol... Back up is 5gb.. Not only that, TWRP for this device as of now has bugs and will break root after nandroid restore. Download RUU from HTC website put RUU in adb folder and put phone into download mode. Thru adb type in "fastboot oem rebootRUU". Run RUU on PC (DO NOT UNPLUG USB). Process takes about 10-15mins so be patient and your phone will be back to stock.

I tried it and it finished way to fast. The device is not in adb devices. After accidentaly trying to reset thru twrp now my device wont show up untill i boot into twrp. Any idea of whats wrong. I have the right files in the same location as adb. I have the updates htc drivers for my device.
After typing fastboot oem rebootRUU all i got was a silver htc logo with a security warnig about non htc roms.

Yea ur on the right path. Now open RUU file and let it load and execute on your PC and it should restore stock metro rom. Process takes awhile so be patient

After I run ruu.exe for my device nothing happens. I let it sit for an hour. I think I can get this fixed but after accidentally deleting things with twrp tryign to reset now my device is not recognized by adb. I reinstalled the stock recovery thinking that might help and it didnt. I was able to get the rom.zip extracted from the ruu. Do you know what steps I would take to install the rom with the stock recovery. Or do you know how I can reinstall twrp. This phone is about to get thrown against the wall. Its my stupidy for nopt backing up before trying to reset.

Put ur phone in download mode if adb can detect in twrp than it should detect in download mode. It's not gonna show on ur PC that it's detected. Just connected and see if adb work in download mode. Same process download mode and type in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" when it goes to silver HTC logo screen open RUU and run it on your PC make sure you have metropcs RUU

Stock recovery doesn't do anything. And why are you extracting RUU? It's not meant to be extracted but to run and execute on adb thru PC

I have the stock recovery now and cant figure out how to put twrp back on the phone. Ok put it into download mode and ran
C:\HTC626s>adb devices
List of devices attached
C:\HTC626s>fastboot oem rebootRUU
...
OKAY [ 0.053s]
finished. total time: 0.054s
C:\HTC626s>
as you can see adb doesnt recognize the device. Once the ruu starts the install sheild it loads, I accept terms of the licence and hit next, Then nothing happens. It just sits on ther silver htc logo screen and the ruu installer never shows back up.

It actually is detected because ur cmd says "<C:\HTC626s>" meaning it's in adb mode and connected. Make sure RUU file is in adb folder. The RUU takes awhile to run. And window will disappear after proceeding, and will run in the PC background and takes approximately 10-20 mins. Took a good 15 mins for me and I don't have the best PC

I've wiped everything before. This is my second HTC device. I had a desire510. Either flash a stable custom ROM which 626s don't have any, or run RUU thru adb is your only option.

I figured it out Thansk for your help I had to run cmd as admin and install this
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)

Because you have the wrong ruu download sprint ruu
