[SOLVED] Soft Bricked - Need Help!

Hi All,
I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I've learned a lot over the last day. I soft bricked my HTC One Developer Edition while trying to do the most recent OTA update to 4.4.
What happens:
When booting normally, it goes initially to the normal white HTC screen, then to a "pink" screen (it's mostly pink, but it's really just messed up graphics), then goes to the HTC One loading screen (except BEATS is blue instead of red). Then it just freezes on that loading screen.
I can boot into the bootloader and recovery (currently TWRP, but was stock when doing the OTA update)
What I've tried:
I've used Fastboot to flash TWRP, so that part is good. Within TWRP, I've wiped the cache, system, Dalvik.
I've tried using Fastboot to flash the RUU Zip file (first one in the list here) in both Windows and OSX, while in "FASTBOOT USB" mode and in RUU mode. Each time, it starts sending, but around 43-44 secs it fails with "remote:not allowed: For reference, the top of the bootloader screen says TAMPERED, then UNLOCKED. I'm running HBOOT 1.55 and have S-ON (but unlocked bootloader). OS shows 3.22.1540.1
I can't get past the remote:not allowed issue, and I'm not such an expert to know what to try next. Can anyone please give me some tips on what to do next? I've tried searching, but I don't know what exactly to search for.
Thank you all!

Thanks! The command prompt was fastboot flash zip rom.zip (I renamed it to that). For TWRP it was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
GETVAR is attached.
EDIT: I added the command prompt and fail as well.

ok, first you can't flash that ruu you linked above (first in the list) because its a decrypted ruu. Decrypted ruu.zip require s-off and you are s-on. Whit s-on you can only flash signed ruu.
and btw did you enter ruu mode before ''fastboot flash zip rom.zip'' ?

There is a 3.22.1540.1 RUU.exe on htcdev.com you could use to restore your phone. But it will not work using windows 8.1. what is your computer OS?

Thank you for that explanation. I got into RUU mode by doing fastboot oem rebootRUU, which took me to a black screen with silver HTC. That may not be RUU mode...I'm just guessing.

Amazing! Thanks - I'll try this and let you know how it goes. I have Windows 8.1, but with fastboot and a zip file it should work, right? If not, I have a Windows 7 laptop at home.

yes ruu.zip should work flawlessly with windows 8.1. but do not attempt the ruu.exe with 8.1, will work fine on 7.

I saw that I already had the 3.22.1540.1 zip file on my computer, so I tried. It got a lot further, but still failed with a remote:not allowed (see attached pic).
My next tries will be to re-download the file and try again, and if that fails, to try the RUU.exe file on the Windows 7 laptop. Is this correct, or is there something else I should try?
I'm leaving work now, so I won't be able to answer for another hour or so but thank you for your help thus far!

Sorry I didn't explain better - the file I meant was the one from HTCDevs - I downloaded it a while ago when I had a different issue. I just renamed it to rom1 or whatever. Is this then the correct file?
Also, the phone was not in RUU mode - it was in regular fastboot mode ("FASTBOOT USB"). I'll try again in RUU mode.

you can not flash ruu with fastboot. you MUST reboot phone in ruu mode using ''fastboot oem rebootRUU'' it will then reboot with a black screen and the htc logo. so:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip name_of_ruu.zip <------ yes again!
fastboot reboot
When in ruu mode you'll have a screen similar to this:
then proceed with ''fastboot flash zip...................''

Ok, I booted into RUU mode and flashed the file twice as per your instructions. Both times it failed. Screenshot is attached. (I even tried it a 3rd time but it still failed with the same message)
Also, I renamed the zip file to rom1.zip just to make typing it easier, but it is the file from HTCDevs, "3.22.1540.1 Developer Edition", Zip (not RUU).
Thank you!

Ok, I tried it on the Windows 7 laptop and got another error (155 - unknown error). Pic is attached. It was in RUU mode btw.
I'm currently downloading the older 1.29.xx version (Android 4.1) and will try again with that.
Just for my own knowledge - how many "parts" (partitions?) of the system are there? As in, there's the recovery partition, the "main" ROM, etc. Are those the only two? I only ask because I wonder if I messed up something in another part that makes the phone think it's not the Developer Edition? (the errors seem to point to using the wrong image, but I got it directly from HTCDevs and have now tried both the RUU and Zip versions.

I got it! I had to relock my bootloader for some reason. Then, the Windows RUU installed fine.
Thank you alray for your help!

Is being stuck at the booting screen (Htc one with beats audio (red color)) same as this scenario ? Is it soft bricked or boot looped or what's it called?
I'm S-off, rooted, stock rom, hboot is 1.56 w/ CWM. At some point the phone just rebooted on its own (I was even in a different place at that time!!!) and got stuck forever at that screen. Rebooting would just make it get stuck there again. bootloader, custom recovery all work.
what do?

Mine did get stuck there, but after a weird messed up pink screen (and the Beats text was blue, not red for some reason). If I was in your boat, I'd just flash a fresh rom and be done.

1- Please also post a screenshot of bootloader.
2- So you're on completely stock ROM?
3- are you able to enter recovery?
4- have you simply tried "fastboot erase cache" and tried booting?

Let's get this started:
1- done, see attached.
2- yes, up to latest OTA but i was rooted.
3- yes , CWM
4- done, still gets stuck at the same screen.
now: million $ question - is there a way to get out of this stupid problem without having to lose any data at all ? one gets quite sick at having to wipe and restore backups everytime there's a booting problem with the phone. i remember with the SGS2 i just had to reflash with odin the rom i was using and boom, back in order!

Well first I would recommend you update recovery to TWRP
2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
since they are more compatible when flashing 4.4 ROMs (make sure to check MD5 on the files, that site doesn't play nice with download managers!)
Code:
[B]fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader[/B]
-> enter recovery
Second, in TWRP, make a nandroid backup, you may need it later *** (please check below)
Third, put a ROM on the phone (in custom recovery):
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HT34xxxxxxxx recovery <- you need to be in recovery
[B]adb push <name of rom>.zip /sdcard/[/B] <- this will take about 5 mins without any progress
and install the ROM, don't select WIPE during installation, and you should have your million $ question solved... all apps, data, etc should be there, but if you get apps crashing it's because of the "dirty-flash"
As to which ROMs you can use for the above procedure, there's is a 100% stock version of 4.19.401.9 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
I'm personally using ARHD 52.0 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 (stock but with improvements, and rooted)
I haven't checked if there's a 100% stock 4.20.707.6 ROM around, so you could do some googling and see.
Hope that helps
*** once you've done the backup, you can try wiping "data, cache, dalvik", and then restore the nandroid... sometimes that works
if not keep the nandroid, as it has all the information, and you can use Nandroid Manager (in play store) to extract individual information, if need be.
Good Luck

HTC One boot loop, S-ON

Hi, I need help FAST!
I have an AT&T (sim unlocked - done so because I live in Europe, not US) HTC One.
So, a few days ago I was playing smart and decided to install custom ROM to my device.
I've done everything as said until the S-ON procces. I ran the Rumrunner but I obviously messed up something
without knowing so it was left S-ON. So I went on to the install of dustom ROM wich I did, but I 've got stuck in a boot loop and I could only enter my recovery and bootloader. And to make matters worse I somehow succeded to delete al my files from "sd card", HTC One doesn't have SD card slot, as you know, (it has internal storage) so I deleted all my personal files ( I backed up photos, and other personal stuff to my PC in case something like this happens )
and my SuperSU and custom ROM zip files. Then I found out about flashing stock ROM, so I relocked my device to do so but the proper RUU has prooved very hard to find, I 've tried 4-5 RUUs from htc1guru.com for Cingular (AT&T) bot none worked. Maybe I should look for SIM unlocked RUU because I 've SIM unlocked it from AT&T. Now I am really annoyed and angry because of being so stupid and trying something I obviously couldn't achieve so please don't write down trere " Oh you are a noob for doing that " because I know that and I don't need any extra comments for playing smart and bricking my device. SO PLEASE IF ANYONE ON THIS FORUM CAN HELP ME, DO SO!! If i don't manage to finally fix this somehow I'm going to pay someone to fix this.

Relax, no payment is required
What you need to do is get a rom onto the phone, RUU isn't required.
You will get a ROM onto the phone using the 'adb sideload' tool. The tutorial is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318497
I recommend that you use the latest ARHD ROM

I have the same exact problem... Only when I try side loading from adb I get an error message saying "device not found" is my HTC one lost forever?

okay, let's stop using toolkits for a while and do it the old fashioned way, and start at the basics.
so first get this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407585867
and extract the files into a simple folder, maybe something like C:\ADB
then go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and copy/past the output of "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n).

okay that looks more or less OK, is your bootloader unlocked, and which custom recovery do you have (name and version number please)?
And what is really your ultimate goal? It wasn't very clear in your first post....
Maybe just to get the phone up and running for now?

and that was the problem, wrong recovery and you tried to probably flash a 4.4 ROM (such as ARHD 53.0)
so get TWRP from:
2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
(make sure MD5 is correct, that site does not play nice with download managers)
2.7.0.4b: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708134
in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery, and install 53.0
the first boot can take anywhere from a few minutes to 15 minutes.
my personal experience (m7_ul)... after a clean flash (ie wiping userpartition during the installer, and before rebooting wiping dalvik & cache [a bit redundant, but i do it anyways]):
during the first bootup, the screen brightness changes after 3~5 minutes, then i know i'm not in a bootloop, and wait another 5~20 minutes.... more than 20 minutes (as in... "i left it overnight") is unreasonable.
PS: we can fix everything else later

my personal experience (m7_ul)... after a clean flash (ie wiping userpartition during the installer, and before rebooting wiping dalvik & cache [a bit redundant, but i do it anyways]):
during the first bootup, the screen brightness changes after 3~5 minutes, then i know i'm not in a bootloop, and wait another 5~20 minutes.... more than 20 minutes (as in... "i left it overnight") is unreasonable.
PS: we can fix everything else later

Yes, I was trying to flash ARHD 53.0 . I will try this method in an hour or so and I will contact you after I'm done. Thank you for your help

no problem, and just in case (to avoid more unnecessary headaches) verify MD5 sum on all your downloads, and you should be good to go
Good Luck

Please ensure you have a custom recovery (TWRP) and your bootloader is UNLOCKED if you are going to side load or push a custom rom onto your phone. If you are going to use the RUU route, then you need to have the bootloader LOCKED or RELOCKED. Here is a post that explains the steps to each method.

Locking the bootloader is only needed if you want to go back to stock using a RUU. I don't know if its what you have tried to do or any other method (guru reset rom, nandroid backup, stock odexed rom, Ruu.zip or ruu.exe?) The output of "fastboot getvar all" could help (dont post IMEI and SN) + what recovery and version # are you using?
The next minute the bootloader wiped everything I mean everything there is no data no nothing only the recovery

bootloader can't wipe anything by itself. You probably did something wrong, can't tell you what at this point.

Make sure md5 match: 72067aefb69541d40e8420d7aa46408d
plug your phone to your computer and boot it in bootloader
open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-booloader
now download this rom and save it to your adb/fastboot folder
Make sure md5 match:: CCC848CBF2B74C5FA33FD7E2269B0499
boot your phone in twrp recovery main menu
open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
Code:
adb push Android_Revolution_HD-One_71.1.zip /sdcard/
wait for the file to transfer, there is no progress bar, just wait until adb show the file transfer is completed (5-10 min)
then in twrp, select ''install'' browse the sdcard content and select "Android_Revolution_HD-One_71.1.zip"
and swipe to confirm flash. When asked to wipe your phone, select yes.
reboot phone to OS and see if it works or not.
@nkk71 is it fine to flash arhd with twrp 2.7.1.1 or should it still be done using 2.6.3.3/.4 ?

many have said 2.7.1.1 works fine, i haven't tried and am quite happy with 2.6.3.3... the 2.7 series not only had problems with flashing and charging, but also nandroids, but not sure about 2.7.1.1
but from the 3rd screenshot of the OP, that doesn't look like an m7 ROM, the bootanimation is distorted indicated it's not for 1080x1920 display.
PS: he should also format data, system and cache within twrp 2.6.3.3

check md5 and you'll know if its the right rom. must match the md5 value I posted above.
if it still dont work, do what nkk71 said above, format data cache and system. you'll have to push to rom again after formatting.
to format data, go in twrp, ''wipe'' ---> "Format data"
to format system and cache go in "wipe" --> advanced wipe --> select cache and system and swipe to wipe
then adb push the rom again and install it again.

Howdy fellas. So im pretty hooped here. First of all let it be said i am a total noob and this has solidified my standing as a noob. Bought a used M7 (Rogers), came rooted BL unlocked, s-on, running cm 11. I wanted to install ARHD 83.1 Thought hey why not start from scratch, unroot flash stock RUU etc. So i made a backup of the Cm11 rom just incase in twrp 2.8.3.0. Relocked BL, then google Rogers M7 RUU , downloaded a 4.4, sense 5.5 one and ran it. Got an error message about 3 min in from windows explorer saying htc.fastboot.exe has stopped, everything closed and my phone just rebooted back to fastboot. SO i thought i better restore my backup. Went to unlock bootloader, hit yes and my phone was booting into cm 11... stuck at boot logo for an hour till it got quite warm. So i hard reset it, went into recovery to restore backup and voila, I have 0 MB internal storage with no files at all. Can someone please help? Ill even donate if you can help me get my phone back
Many thanks

looks like your data partition is corrupted. This should be easy to fix but first post the output of "fastboot getvar all" except your IMEI and SERIALNO.
BTW do you prefer to go back to stock rom or CM?

Sorry for late reply, we have some serious power outages here in Quebec (damn freezing rain!)
Download TWRP 2.6.3.3 and save it to your adb/fastboot folder on your computer
With your phone connected to your computer and booted in bootlloader/fastboot usb mode, open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot in recovery mode (TWRP), select Wipe, Advanced Wipe, then select everything and "Swipe to wipe". When completed, go back in the main menu, select Wipe then "Format Data". When format data is completed reboot the recovery.
When rebooted in recovery, select "backup" then select "boot" only and swipe to backup, go back in the main menu
Download this nandroid backup and save it to your desktop.
Extract the backup zip files, put all the files in a folder and name that folder "MYBACKUP"
move that folder in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer
with your phone still in twrp main menu, adb push the backup to your phone:
Code:
adb push MYBACKUP /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/[COLOR="Red"]Your_Serial_Number[/COLOR]/MYBACKUP
(replace text in red by your phone's serial number. You can find your serial number in your "fastboot getvar all")
This will take a while and your command prompt will be unresponsive during the transfer. When the command prompt is responsive again, then the transfer is complete.
In twrp select "restore", select "MYBACKUP", select all partitions then "swipe to restore"
reboot phone and confirm everything is working fine

Wow man, you did it. It works! Thanks so much. You got a paypal i can donate to? Im happy to throw a few bucks your way. One last question, Im wondering if the radio/firmware that nandroid is running is new enough that i can install a rom like ARHD 84 or insert coin etc? Or Do i need to update it somehow? And if so how would i go about doing that? your step by step was amazing by the way,

One last question, Im wondering if the radio/firmware that nandroid is running is new enough that i can install a rom like ARHD 84 or insert coin etc? Or Do i need to update it somehow?

I think it should be good with those roms but it wouldn't hurt to update it. 3.22.631.1 is a pretty old firmware.
And if so how would i go about doing that?

Well the easiest way would be to flash the stock recovery back and take all ota updates to latest version. Otherwise you could use the 4.19.631.9 and then take the remaining ota updates.
your step by step was amazing by the way

Download your stock recovery and save it to your adb/fastboot folder on your computer.
reboot your phone in bootloader/fastboot usb mode
Start a command prompt from ADB/Fastboot folder
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_stock_155hboot_htc_one_m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Wait for the phone to reboot in the OS
go in Settings --> About --> Software updates Check for new updates and install them
repeat steps 4 and 5 until your phone is running the latest version with Android 4.4.3 and HTC Sense 6
Then your phone will be updated to latest software and firmware (6.XX.631.X)

Thanks man, trying now. Just donated
NOTE- i could only update to 4.4.2, Sense 6. My radio now reads 4T.27.3218.14, Hboot 1.57. This doesnt match the newer version number! IS there any thing else i could do to further update my firmware?

Hope you got my donation! Thanks again for the help. I do have one additional questions however. So i did what you said flashed that stock recovery, then update as far as my OTAS would go. then re flashed TWRP so i could flash ARHD. But im wanting to re flash stock recovery now! So i see my Hboot has changed to 1.57. Could you link me to the new proper stock recovery for my updated device?

Don't reflash the stock recovery if you are using a custom rom like arhd, keep twrp recovery.
Stock recovery is not useful at all when using custom roms, only needed for stock roms.
And I need to know your main version to direct you to the correct stock recovery version
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

HTC One M7 Stuck in a Boot Loop

Alright, I recently purchased a phone that was stuck at the screen with the download icon in the arrow circle (http://forum.xda-developers.com/album.php?albumid=11886). When it is like this is can not be put into hboot. I then somehow got the phone into a boot loop. I did wipe the cache and that did not fix the problem. I did a factory reset via hboot, and it sent me back to the screen I mentioned before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/album.php?albumid=11886). I've now gotten the phone back into boot looping so I can access hboot. Recovery does work and you can access all the options. This phone is basically a stock HTC One M7. Has not been rooted, is locked, and it S-ON. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Could you link me to a tutorial? Apparently I need to know my MID and CID, and the video I did find to do that, needed usb debugging turned on in the settings which I don't even know if that is on. Can you link me to a how to tutorial for how to do this?

Yes you need a computer with the latest android sdk installed and latest HTC drivers installed.
Btw, why did you buy this phone?

I bought it for a friend. He wanted something other than his locked up att samsung s4 active. He doesn't have much money and he figured he could fix this one and if he could't, he would just sell it again. I am personally used to iPhones (typing this on a jailbroken 4s right now) so this is all pretty new to me. We started troublesing it yesterday and he seemed to get stumped. He hates forums so I went ahead and signed up and made this post for him. Currently I have no access to a computer right now (at least one where I can install sdk and so on), but will have access later today. Will post when I have it.

Latest HTC driver here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8pawcxm9walwras/HTC_Driver_4.14.0.001.exe
You can install minimal adb and fastboot instead of the complete sdk, will be easier to use for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Once you have both installed, connect the phone to your computer, make sure its booted in bootloader mode --> fastboot mode and showing "fastboot usb" in red.
On your computer: Start menu --> Programs --> Minimal adb and fasboot --> minimal adb and fastboot
in the command prompt, type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
copy and paste the output here (except the imei and s/n)
see you later

Ok well there is no RUU you can use with s-on so while the bootloader is locked all you can do is try to flash the current firmware. If the phone doesn't boot after that you will need to unlock the bootloader.
Download the firmware here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543602 put the zip in your fastboot folder on your pc and rename it "firmware.zip" Now with fastboot usb connected in the bootloader flash the firmware with the following fastboot commands
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
case sensitive
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now try to reboot the phone. If it doesn't boot you should now at least be able to do a factory reset. But you will need to unlock the bootloader at www.htcdev.com register an account and follow the instructions in the Unlock My Bootloader section. :good:

Followed your instructions. Everything went good. I did a factory reset and the phone actually ended up rebooting. It's now just sitting here, and seems to be stuck at the htc logo. Going to go ahead and follow the steps to unlock my bootloader then report back.

Now the bootloader is unlocked you will need to flash a custom recovery and install a new Rom.
Download this http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img *<<<<< Put this in your fastboot folder and rename it recovery.img
Download this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274
Boot the device to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. Flash the recovery with fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When back in the bootloader select Recovery from the menu to load TWRP recovery. Before we do anything else a little spring cleaning. Select "Wipe" from the TWRP menu the "Format Data" You will be prompted to type yes to continue. When its done Select "Reboot" then "Reboot Recovery" You will see a message "No OS Installed" Reboot anyway and say No when asked to install supersu.
Now back in TWRP recovery you should be able to see the Internal Storage on your PC. Copy the rom file to the Internal Storage then from the TWRP menu select install and choose the rom .zip :good:
During the install with Aroma choose these options
Stock Radio = Yes
Stock Recovery = Yes
Root = No
When the install is completed reboot the device and hopefully it should boot up normally without any problems :good: :fingers-crossed:
P.S The first boot after a new flash can take an extended amount of time. Don't be supprised if it's stuck on the HTC logo screen for 15 minutes+ Just be patient

For s-off he will have to use Sunshine App it's the only working method for hboot 1.57. It does cost $25 but It's very easy. Just install and run the app :good:
Rooting can be done a number of ways the 2 easiest are to allow TWRP to install SupeSu when leaving recovery. Or you can install root with the Guru reset rom by selecting root during the installer. Also if he want's to keep the TWRP recovery don't take the stock recovery during the rom install.

alright. when formatting, I have been getting an unable to mount /cache and /system. should i be worries. Also, so when I do install the supesu? Can you give me some more detailed instructions like you have been doing? They're very helpful!!2220

Unable to mount /cache and /system happens during format or after? Did you reboot recovery after the format?
When you exit recovery TWRP will detect wheather or not the device is rooted. If it's not rooted TWRP will ask if you want to install supersu to root the phone. Say yes and TWRP will install root.
Although you could just install root when you install the rom. Just install with these options instead
Stock = Recovery No
Stock = Radio Yes
Root = Yes

It seems to say this while it is updating partition details. Havent rebooted it as I wasn't sure about the cache and everything. So I guess before.

When you format data it is like repartitioning the phone. All the partitions are gone until you reboot. That's the reason they won't mount
