[Q] Bricked Sprint HTCOne M7

Hi Developers,
I need your help i have been a fan of this site for some time now and have found very useful information here. now i need your help once again.
I tried to unlock the Bootloader and flashed TWRP and CWM but when i try to bring the device back up SU is not granted Root access. i tried over and ocer again.
When i try to reboot the phone Fastboot/Flash recovery/TWRP or CWM the device hands adn never comes back up.
I even tried to do a Facotry reset and start over. This also did not work.
Can you guys please guide me on truly doing a factory reset so that i can try this again?
Thank you very much for your help.
Rgrds,

If you want to reset to out of the box stock, run the ruu.

If you can get into recovery, just restore nandroid. Or flash a fresh rom.

Make sure you are in the boot loader when running ruu and you have all the proper HTC drivers. If that's not it you can try searching Google for the error.

Dude. Just boot into recovery then on phone press mount usb. On your computer in your drives you should see your phones memory. Download a rom from the sprint htc one. Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834713 Once downloaded drag zip to storage. Once done press unmount usb. Then on recovery press install from storage. Click on your rom zip. Let it install. Reboot your htc one. Your good. You should have no more issues.

he also has to relock his bootloader to run the RUU

Fyi, because I see it misused a lot, "Bricking" man's it won't even power on, be recognized by any device, etc. If it just won't go into its ROM then that isn't a brick.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Mine fits the description of bricked better... All stock, no root, just using it as a GPS, left it plugged into the car charger when I went into the store but turned the screen off (that thing gets HOT). When I came back, no led, no power, nothing. Have tried connecting to the wall charger that came with it, to USB 2 and 3 on computers, left it charging all night. Not so much as a flicker... The computers didn't recognize anything connecting to them either.
Long hold of power (with and without either/both volume buttons) has done nothing.
What is left to try? I would rather not lose all the pictures from my vacation, but need my phone back for work.

If its not rooted go to sprint and get urself a new one

I think that will be an issue as well. i did find a few posts that talk about the RUU to take it back to stock where the two messages would go away but the mirrors where this is located (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979706399752930) are all down.
I have the HTC One from Sprint. does anyone know where else i can find the RUU?

The URL from which my phone downloaded the zip file was
Code:
http://fotadl.htc.com//secure/OTA_DLXPLUS_UL_JB_50_hTC_Asia_HK_1.23.708.3-1.11.708.1_release_33417443z3iqny0zggdtbr.zip/surl:kid=25,et=1380040924,h=694B5DE0FC46CD0CD069E539232CF864
That would mean it was released by HTC directly.
Anyway, there's no way a telco could push out an OTA for the Butterfly S as to the best of my knowledge, there's no branded version of the phone.

4.3 is being pushed out to the HTC ONE. Hopefully we will b seeing it soon as well.

Actually I have a problem with the new update,
Installed it today (901s) by OTA and now my phone just resets every now and then,
already 4 times by now
I think the update just wasn't installed properly, because after reset I get a message that my device was updated..
the problem is that I don't know and don't think it's possible to re-install the update without unlocking the bootloader,
in the meanwhile i'm just hoping 4.3 will roll out soon so the problem will be solved
if anyone knows what to do i'll be really thankful!
edit:
just noticed notes update is gone after a reset, had to install again, so it really makes sense that the device is stuck on the update install

Thats the worst part of it- I can't perform a factory reset.
tried through the settings, than a hard reset through HBOOT, even got into recovery without root by this method:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K0zdRPwJ0g
But nothing seem to work. I get the Boot animation, a black screen, if i'm doing it through the settings or the hboot I get a screen of red triangle with exclemtaion mark(that indicates I don't have root), and then, device just starts up again.
This is really weird, I never saw something like that, and I have no idea what to do.

install custom recovery and reset from there?
if your bootloader is unlocked ofcourse and dont forget to put the stock recovery back afterwards

If you don't want to unlock your bootloader, you can try fastboot boot custom-recovery.img to boot TWRP or CWM without flashing, although I'm not sure that will work. Still, worth a shot.

How can I do that?
I don't want to do anything that can void the warranty, since if i'll need to send it for repair back to Hong Kong it'll cause problems and very expensive fees for the repair.

Exactly as I wrote. Download either CWM or TWRP and try to boot them via fastboot. Boot, not flash. You'll need to reboot into the bootloader (hold the volume down button while the phone is booting up) and type the following command (assuming the file you downloaded is recovery.img):
fastboot boot recovery.img
It's possible it won't do anything or that it will just boot the regular system, but if it does succeed, it won't flash anything, just boot into the custom recovery. Then you can perform a factory reset or reinstall the stock ROM from a ZIP.

How do I write the command? and where should I put the CWM file?

I recommend googling a tutorial on how to set up adb and fastboot. The general steps are to download the Android SDK which contains both tools, extract it somewhere, add the location to your $PATH, then download the recovery image, save it somewhere, navigate to that directory within your commandline, connect your phone via USB, reboot it into bootloader (either by rebooting it and holding volume down or by typing adb reboot-bootloader) and then type the following command (substitute recovery.img with the actual recovery image file name):
fastboot boot recovery.img

[Q] cant install any custom rom

I have a Verizon HTC One HBOOT 1.54 with S-OFF Unlocked boot loader and SUID but every rom i try boot loops at start screen only thing i can do is restore backup os. I did do full wipe every time. Driving me crazy i want to install Android Revolution HD 22.0 but no go. Also tryed 4.0 and insert coin all boot loop and never load.

Is it the firmware? Verizon is still on 4.2.2 and those roms are 4.3.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

You can NOT flash GSM roms. You need to flash Verizon specific roms. And if your device is anything like a Sprint One, flashing a GSM Rom probably messed some stuff up. If it did you'll need to RUU, that is if Verizon has an RUU.

Try flashing stock recovery, then see if you can boot. If so, then flash TWRP.

Could be. If it had flashed stock recovery, you would no longer see the blinking TWRP screen. I don't use toolkits, so I can't direct you. I'd learn how to use fastboot.

No problem. Good to hear it worked for you.

These posts are happening way more often lately. Toolkits have been causing many errors as of late. I hope all newbies consider this a warning. Just learn how to easily flash via fastboot.

Agree. When I first got my Nexus 6 the same thing happened to me. The toolkits did not help at all. I looked on YouTube and found a video that showed the steps to flash images via fastboot and that solved it.

This is just my opinion, but noobs really should stay away from toolkits. They are nice for automating things, but for a noob, if something goes wrong , they have little idea of how to fix what may have happened. People really should learn how to do these things on their own and use toolkits only when they have the knowledge to at least get pointed in the right direction when they do go haywire..... And the right direction is not starting a new thread on a forum saying "I used "X" toolkit now my phone don't boot, please help".......
