Do you have a custom Rom or recovery installed? Do you have locked/unlocked/relocked/security warning in bootloader? What version ruu did you install and did you see any error message?

My phone is a brick! XD
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

why is the term 'brick' used commonly.
wen your phone gets bricked, it's called so cos that's all its good for!
it wont start, boot, vibrate, flash lights, sing songs, nothing!
that's the stage wen the phone is good to throw against the wall

[help] back to stock

hello! I have to send my HTC One in for warrenty:
I am now s-off, bootloader locked, super-CID, custom Rom, HBoot 1.44.0000, custom recovery.
What do i have to do bevore sending it in? My One is from T-Mobile germany. Firmware version 1.29.111.11
If i runn an RUU does it flash stock recovery? or do have have to do this manually?
Instead of running a RUU (i cant find an t-mobile germany ruu) is it possible to flash a stock nanadroid backup (http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/444-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-t-mob101-1281116/ ?)?
how do i get S-on again?

OK, now i am back to T-MOB101 cid! Am i now able to flash this nandroid backup (http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/444-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-t-mob101-1281116/ ) ? Or is there anything to do before?

does anyone know where to find stock T-Mobile germy revovery? or can i simply use the 401 one?

yes since you have s-off you can use revone again to "lock" your bootloader and remove "tampered" flag after this, don't forget to go back to s-on again. then you should be completely stock.

i can't say for sure. i'd recommend you to use revone, it's safer in my opinion. you've used revone to get s-off, didn't you? so just do the same again and use the instructions in the revone thread (i already postet the link for you)
the s-on function should work fine, but WAIT, first "lock" the bootloader..

Fasboot in Bootloader not working

Hi, I want to flash my HTC One again since some time. I've downloaded the recent synch tool from HTC. Unfortunately I can't get fastboot working if I'm in the Bootloader. Fastboot works if my telephone is on but it doesn't if my htc is in the bootloader.
I need some help.
I'm using Windows 8.1 x64

to use fastboot in windows 8.1 your hboot must be 1.55.000 or up
or 1.54.000 android 4.4 GPE
Try this to get your firmware updated

Click to collapse
Both cid # and mid # MUST match the main-ver you want to flash. CID and MID require s-off to be modified.
i.e if you have a x.xx.161.x main-ver, you need corresponding MID PN0710000 and one of compatible CID like VODAP001 or VODAP102, etc... (Vodafone)
i.e if you have a x.xx.401.x main-ver, you need corresponding MID PN0710000 and one of compatible CID like HTC__001 or HTC__101, HTC__203 etc... (stock international)
If you have a CID that doesn't match your main-ver, your phone will not find any OTA update
If you have proper CID but wrong MID, your phone will find and download OTA, but will fail the update process.
f you want to convert using a RUU, both CID and MID must match otherwise the ruu will not flash.
copy/paste the output of this command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
minus emei and sn and it will be much easier to tell you what options you have.

Yes it should
So go to this thread and install adb/fastboot.
turn on usb debugging mode on your phone ''settings ---> developer option ---> check the usb debug box'' if developer option menu is messing from you settings menu do this: settings ---> about phone ---> tap the build number rapidly until you are prompted you unlocked developers option.
connect phone to pc via usb while phone is normally booted in Android (better to use port behind the pc instead of usb port in front. also i will recommend you not to use a windows 8.1 computer.
quote me when this step is done. (use reply below my post so i can see you replied)

You'll probably encounter problem later in the process with win 8.1. Win 8.1 require hboot 1.55 for fastboot to work. During the process you will need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 to flash the international RUU. And your phone will not be recognized by computer when using fastboot and you will be stuck there. So better to find a windows 7 computer or maybe you could dual boot win 7 on the same comp.
now you should be able to continue with next step even with win 8.1
so start Minimal ADB and Fastboot, a command prompt should open. with phone connected to pc and usb debugging enabled, check that drivers are working properly with this command:
Code:
adb devices
should output this:
Code:
List of devices attached
HT(yourserial#) device

When you will flash the international RUU.exe, your device will go back to 100% stock (stock recovery, stock OS, stock hboot) means no root anymore like if your device was brand new.

Being S-on you'll need to run a RUU with a software version newer than what you currently have installed on your device.
