[SOLVED - thx nkk71 !] Wiped everything & S-ON - Please help :(

Hi everybody,
I already checked a lot of threads in xda but it didn't solve my problem so I do it by myself...
Just got a HTC One and when I wanted to install the Google Edition ROM by bigxie with mini SDK, ADB and TWRP... I just messed up:
- OK to unlock bootloader
- S-OFF didn't work
- I accidentaly wiped everything: the OS...
I tried push a ROM with adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip but it didn't help:
- S-ON didn't allow me to install custom ROMs
- I couldn't turn my phone S-OFF because my PC didn't recognise it anymore + have no OS
- adb devices command didn't see my phone
Then I tried to relock it to install an official RUU from HTC but:
"(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)"
I guess it comes from my HBOOT-1.54, I red we have to be in 1.44 but one more time I can't downgrade my HBOOT because I'm not S-OFF.
Now my HTC One M7_UL is :
* TAMPERED *
* RELOCKED *
*** Security Warning ***
- S-ON
- HBOOT-1.54.0000
Checkmate ?
Thanks in advance...

can you unlock your phone using HTCdev? get a new token and try.

Yes, I can. Should I install TWRP or CWM afterwards ?

another missing version-main , this is really getting weird.
are you still looking to go s-off? if so you're on hboot 1.54, which means a 2.24.xxx.? ROM, so download and try rumrunner with this
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-1-zip/
and/or
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
select WIPE, select ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"

If version main is the version of the OS, I don't have one. :-S
Yes I'm still looking for it and install the Google Edition ROM...
Ok I'll try it, it's downloading, I hope it'll recognise the phone.

version-main is the firmware version of the phone, just seems it's disappearing a lot last couple of days.
hboot 1.54 has firmware 2.24.xxx.x, so one of the roms I linked will hopefully get you s-off using rumrunner

Ok.
So I need to push and flash the ROM on TRWP, boot on it and a screen will appear with "WIPE" then "ROOT" and unselect stock recovery ?
Thanks.
NB: When I try to do a Factory Reset in TRWP, it fails with an "Unable to mount cache" error message.
NB1: Can't flash the ROM you gave me. Since I did an "Format Data" wich removes datas & encryption on internal storage, I can't flash anything...
NB2: OK I can't mount /data, /sdcard either...

unable to mount cache is OK, probably because of the fastboot erase cache
if push dosn't work , sideload it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

It's ok, I found an issue by formatting /data in CWM (I deleted TWRP)
The .8 ROM is installed but the fingertouch screen wasn't usable during the installation, I don't know if it means that's not a good version ?

Damn man you made my day, the ROM is installed and I can use my HTC again !
Is it the official RUU ?
But unfortunately it's still S-ON.
Thanks a lot

touchscreen wasnt working because you probably used 6.0.3.1, get the latest from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863 (though that one takes VERY long to backup/restore nandroids), so either get 6.0.3.2 or TWRP if you do nandroids frequently.
It's getting late for me, so have to sign off in a bit, and now that your phone is up and running, we can pick this up tomorrow....
you can try rumrunner now to get yourself s-off.
I'll check back tomorrow....
You can still hit the thanks button on my posts if i helped

I red I didn't need to get myself S-OFF to install a Custom Rom, is it true ?
I'm trying to get the Google Edition ROM again... Without success.
I flash boot.img in fastboot (& make clear cache) + flash the ROM normally (wipe cache + dalvik cache) via TWRP but my device enter in a boot loop when I reboot after installation (I just see the Google language selection, just to make me more frustrated lol...). Same with CyanogenMod.
Root Checker says "Congratulations ! This device has root access" and I unlocked the bootloader so I don't understand...
Maybe because of the CID of my phone is from Orange Poland (ORANGB10) ? I maybe should get S-OFF & Debrand ?
Thanks for your answer.

Definitely do s-off if you can. It may save you if things go south..
---------- Post added at 12:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------
However you need unlocked bootloader + custom recovery to install custom ROMs. Not S-off.

I finally got S-OFF and achieved to install the stock Google Edition 4.4 ROM with this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
I had to SuperCID (fastboot eom writecid 11111111) because changing the android-info.txt didn't work.
Could you tell me in which case is it useful to flash stock recovery (he says it's for future OTA's) ?
Does it mean I could do updates via Software Update in Android the menu ?
NB: In the best case, I would like to get the updates via Android interface and have the most "official" Google Edition ROM (I don't want to change it, sooner or later).
Thank you.

I wouldn't , but that's your choice :laugh:
Anyway, I didn't read the thread you linked, but to get OTAs, you need "odexed stock rom", and "stock recovery" for OTAs to work properly,
you also need to change your CID (and possibly MID) to GPe
I think GPE CID is "GOOGL001" and MID is "PN0712000" (I THINK)
So if you're stock rom + stock recovery + correct CID & MID, you'll receive future OTAs just fine,
remember to keep S-Off.
if all good, would you mind editing the main thread title to include [SOLVED]. thanks

Why wouldn't you ? :laugh: I like Google's refinement, don't you ?
How could I verify I'm in stock recovery ?
I flashed it, and now when I click on RECOVERY in BOOT LOADER, it doesn't enter in recovery anymore: get that little Android green toy down with a red triangle.
Ok fine.

"get that little Android green toy down with a red triangle" -> yep, that's stock recovery :good::good:
if you simultaneously and briefly press POWER + VOLUP + VOLDOWN, you'll get to the stock recovery menu (really tiny font). you'll have to try a couple of times to get the timing correctly.

i need help i think my device is bricked

okk so i was trying to flash a rom for the first time and i really went at it the wrong way. i didin't backup my original RUU and now my device is stuck on the bootloader screen and i really have no idea what to do. i just want to get an OS running on my phone right now cause im freaking out. my company carrier is rogers and this is what my phone is showing right now:
***tampered***
***relocked***

i try looking for another ruu to flash in my phone but i cant seem to find one that works with my phone..even when i try using the flashboot getvar command to check for the version this is all i got.. : C:\Users\david\Desktop\sdk-tools>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main:
finished. total time: 0.001s
any help at this point would be greatly appreciated i need to get my phone up working so i can receive my calls
i have managed to bring back recovery mode by re-unlocking it via htcdev..now when the phone boots it goes to the google logo and then the language selecting screen then restarts after 10 secs everytime

Instead of the fastboot command you typed, write:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Then look for "CID". Search for a RUU for that CID. If you can't find one, we'll discuss other solutions.

since i did not make a backup is there a chance i can restore this ? ive tried the method that suggest sideloading but it didn't work or maybe i didin't do it right but it didn't wanna recognize my phone when i tried the command'
edit 2: also, im using twrp instead of cwm if that information can help in any way.

If you can let us know which rom you attempted to install and what you managed to do. Did you install custom recovery etc.

well all i was trying to do was install the goole play edition rom (bigxie_m7_GPe_KRT16S_odexed-signed.zip) but after the installation it kept restarting after the language selection screen. i used twrp to flash the rom. right now all im able to do is cycle through the booloader, the recovery screen and to the language selection screen

Unless you have another rom (4.3 rom) copied onto the storage on your phone you will probably have to flash stock recovery and recover by installing a stock RUU for your carrier/CID version.
---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------
Out of curiosity try going into twrp and doing a factory reset (wipe) and reboot see if you have the same issue.

is there such thing as a stuck RUU for rogers in canada? ive been looking on the internet but i can't seem to find anything that could works for my phone. maybe you could point me in a direction so i could look ?

Cant see any for rogers
Just found this http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-tutorials/how-to-copy-files-to-htc-one-using-twrp-mount-and-adb/ if you can copy a rom to the phone it will probably work.
A nandroid backup for rogers is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874 or you could flash a pre 4.4 rom. CWM needed to recover a CWM backup and backup would need to be in right directory.
You would need to unlock bootloader to do these things.
If I was you I would download a custom rom like Android Revolution HD 40.3 copy over via above process, do a wipe and install, without s-off you probably have to flash kernel via fastboot.

To flash a kernel via fastboot 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. Make sure the boot.img (if thats what its called) is in the same folder as fastboot. The corresponding kernel(boot.img) is inside the zip file of most roms.

No probs glad you got it working again.
If you really want to try a Google Edition rom you would need to s-off your phone which is trickier than what you have done so far so may want to read up some more.

I had the exact same problem while i was flashing a GEdition ROM. The problem here is that my volume Keys dont work and i cant manage to enter recovery/bootloader over ADB. Tried all usb cords and porta. Still giving me Device not found. Any tricky way to access bootloader or recovery?
I've already sent it to warranty but without the original software.... Blablabla they told me that it would only work
with a board replacement... 180€
Any help?

You can get to bootloader and recovery via adb commands but thats from a running rom I presume http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853159
How come your volume keys dont work, did it come that way? I presume you have tried holding power and volume down for a prolonged length of time??

For no reason they stop working. And i think its a hardware malfunction. Besides that, i cant manage to enter bootloader or recovery to instala other ROM.
I guess with Samsung Phones there is a doubletap on the screen to enter bootloader.

There is no bootloader in Samsung phones, and no doubletap. You need to hit the buttons as well. If you are able to boot into the phone and adb devices shows the device, you can do
adb reboot-bootloader or adb reboot recovery

[Q] Return HTC One to stock EE carrier UK

Am in over my head here, please help!
After installing cyanogenmod onto my htc one EE UK model I tried to return to stock but am unable to find the correct stock files. somehow I have also installed teamwin recovery and cannot use the touchscreen during this mode?
I am able to get back into the bootloader but when I try to start up the phone the cyanogenmod start up screen seems stuck!
Any help to get back to EE UK stock for the htc one or cyanogenmod again would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks for reading my post.

You can use the volume buttons to move and the power button to select on TWRP (assuming it is not the touch version). Then to fix the problem with CM you should just do a wipe and flash the rom again. To return to stock you have to find your carriers RUU and send that through fastboot/adb, after follow Gizmoe's instructions on this thread to get everything back to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?)t=2592068

Any help to get back to EE UK stock for the htc one or cyanogenmod again would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks for reading my post.

can you post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n), you may wanna take a look at my guide if you want to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
once s-off, going S-ON is NOT recommended.

O-rangePeels said:
You can use the volume buttons to move and the power button to select on TWRP (assuming it is not the touch version). Then to fix the problem with CM you should just do a wipe and flash the rom again. To return to stock you have to find your carriers RUU and send that through fastboot/adb, after follow Gizmoe's instructions on this thread to get everything back to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?)t=2592068

are you (at least somewhat) familiar with "adb" and "fastboot"??
you need to boot your phone to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and then on your PC :

There's no "two-minute" fix, so a couple of more questions, if you don't mind:
1- does it matter to you if bootloader says UNLOCKED?
2- does it matter to you if bootloader says TAMPERED?
3- you want to go back to stock, in order to receive OTA updates?
4- do you intend on selling the phone or returning for warranty? (and so you need the phone to look "out of the box")

1 and 2 - does not matter at this point I would just like to get the phone back to working in any format stock or rooted.
3 - OTA not necessary in view of 1 and 2

fair enough, here's a quick fix: just download and install this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-1-zip/
using CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
or TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
the above ROM is for a Europan unbranded version; it's stock, can be rooted or not (selectable in the installer), unselect "stock recovery" in installer as it won't allow OTA's with your current configuration.
I'm gonna check something, and will get back to you when I can, in the meantime the above ROM will get you up and running. (or you can choose any one of the custom ROMs around)
I'll get back to you later
cheers
PS: maybe you could give me a little background info on why you ended up in this situation, eg do you want to be on stock rom (or custom), do you want to be rooted, etc etc. and if not, how come you unlocked your bootloader
If I understand your intentions, I could help better

once I have downloaded the ROM how do I install it?
what are the links for CWM and TWRP for, do I need to download anything from them?
As you can tell I dont fully understand the tech side of this much. I thought to root the phone I could get more custom features however after doing this I did not like it and wanted to return to stock but could not find the correct ROM and so the issues began.

There are many more downloads required when following the superguide of which I have tried the RUU M7 before and failed at the final stage due to it not being compatible with UK HTC.
the last message from nk77 suggested that all I needed is the Guru reset , which I have downloaded but do not know how to install and cannot see how to do this on the superguide either. Do you know how to install the guru reset?

1- the guide is made to return to 100% stock; mostly for people going for warranty or want to sell the phone, and put it "out of the box"
2- the Guru Reset i mentioned will only get your phone working (or any other custom ROM), it will not get any OTA updates etc.
3- in order to restore to stock (in your case), you need S-Off
4- if you do have S-Off, you can even turn your phone into an unbranded European version
5- to get the ROM (Guru Reset or any other custom ROM), you can use one of three methods (using custom recovery CWM or TWRP):
i- OTG cable
ii- adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/0/
iii- adb sideload <name of rom>.zip

[SOLVED] [Q] HTC Stuck on Boot Screen, here's what I did

Hi everyone,
I've spent the last 6 hours attempting various fixes from forums and I just can't &^%$ing get this.
Here's what I did.
(1) Phone got stuck in a bootloop.
(2) I did a backup in TWRP version 2.6.
(3) Factory reset.
(4) Everything worked again, no bootloop.
(5) Tried to recover from the backup in TWRP, backup failed.
(6) Phone now stuck on the HTC One screen.. won't load a thing.
I really just want things back to normal, as in stock ROM.
Some info about the phone:
S-ON
TWRP ver 2.6
rooted
can access recovery
don't need anything on the phone
I'm looking for a solution to get this phone going again.. any solution. I'd prefer to be on stock ROM. I'd love some help on this. I'm here.

post your fastboot getvar all please

well if you don't need anything on the phone and you previously did a factory reset and the phone stopped boot-looping, why did you restored that faulty backup? just do a factory reset and you'll be good

The backup contained all of the original apps. Thought I could get it rolling again, but no go. Now the phone just won't boot. Stuck on the HTC one screen, even after another factory reset.

The factory reset isn't working. It still hangs. I did the initial backup through TWRP. Will Titanium backup be compatible with that backup?
Now the phone is currently locked, no OS.Should I flash another ROM?

The OS is set to 1.000.000. I used some **** utility that reset it. I started clicking things... lol
One thing I'm wondering is since this phone is S-ON, will I be able to even flash a ROM? Could that be the reason that the TWRP restore function isn't working? As far as I know... SON would prevent system files from being written.. correct me if I'm wrong
..downloading that file as I write this

The phone is the HTC One m7 through Rogers. It was recently asking me for the latest OTA update. The ROM was stock, if that helps.

looks like your RUU, like I said, its a Rogers RUU and contains the same radio, your version-main just threw me off a bit, leave your bootloader locked / relocked and plug into your computer in bootloader mode, then run the RUU on your computer, follow the instructions, make sure your battery is 50% or more before running.
regarding your other question, you can flash custom roms whilst s-on, you just have to make sure your bootloader is unlocked, s-on is not there to protect system files, its there to protect you from messing with the HBOOT and radio's etc which will brick the phone if done wrong, you cant brick by flashing rom's.

Thanks a lot for that link. I found an RUU file about 7 hours ago, but it was in .zip format, not .exe like the link you provided me. This made it damn easy. I relocked the bootloader, installed, now it's all great. Thanks a lot. Can I thumbs up you, or do anything in return?

I'm guessing a side-load? I really like the install wizard, the RUU method is pretty ingenious. One quick question for you: It's asking me for a system update, OTA, that's not installing after I download it. I unlocked the bootloader through HTC dev using the binary they e-mail you. Would I have to unroot? Any tips on what I could do?
[edit: for some reason, OTA worked] thanks a lot for your help and especially for that magical link. cheers

No, you have to put your phone in fastbootRUU mode and then flash the zip from your computer using fastboot commands.
Glad the OTA worked in the end, but in future when installing OTA's just make sure your bootloader is locked / relocked first.

[Q] Please help What should i do before upgrading to lollipop?

Hi guys.
I really trust xda forums and that's why I come here whenever I need help. You always save the day guys and I want to thank you for that.
So a while ago I've unlocked the boot loader, flashed cwm recovery via fast boot and rooted my device. I'm still on a stock Rom though.
Now I want to upgrade to lollipop manually, my plan is to download the official Rom from HTC's website connect my device to the pc with a usb cable then install it on my phone.. From what I understand I should flash back the stock recovery then relock the boot loader and restore the contents of a folder (i don't remember what folder though). Where can I find the stock Rom img file I should flash? (And the folder contents that i'm supposed to restore) also if I relock the boot loader will the upgrade proceed if it still shows "tampered"?
Please guys help what am I supposed to do before upgrading??

You need to restore the preload data. This gets wiped when you unlock the bootloader and it will cause the OTA to fail. Relocking isn't necessary for installing ota's you just need Stock Rom and Recovery. A GuruReset is usually the way to go.
If your talking about flashing the RUU then you will need to relock the bootloader if your s-on but that's it. Missing preload data, rooted rom's and custom recovery will not effect the RUU install. It will just flash stock over the top of it all. Your phone will be wiped though so backup any data you want to keep. :good:

I have cwm recovery on my phone, can I use it to flash the nanodroid backup? or do I have to flash twrp recovery?
and after flashing the nanodroid backup I just have to flash the stock recovery and then upgrade?
which one is the nanodroid backup I need to flash? is it this one:
" TWRP Backup: https://yadi.sk/d/rQzZ9i0CdmstQ "
or this:
"6.09.401.111 Firmware with Hboot 1.57.000 https://yadi.sk/d/n7BAQ8vpdqPSS "
??
and do I need to worry about the radio file in your link?
thanxx for your help man!

Sorry for bothering you too much but I've been thinking, wouldn't it be easier to restore the preloaded data instead of downloading and flashing the backup? Is that possible??
Thanx man

If you can find a download for just the preload data then yes that would be easier. I'll see if I can find something.
Otherwise you want the TWRP backup from that thread and you will need to flash TWRP recovery to restore it. And just to clarify you can't flash the nandroid backup like a normal Rom. You will need to unzip it and copy the folder in to your TWRP backups folder then use the restore option in twrp
The radio file is not such a big issue it will be the same radio you already have anyway.

Preload data this is the closest I can find. It may or may not work so try at your own risk.

This is the preload data from 6.09.401.12 which is the lte version of your Device. The preload data may well be the same as the only difference is that 1 device has lte enabled and the other (your Device does not) :good:

There is no data / preload folder in the backup either, are you sure you need it for this particular device ?
you can download the TWRP backup and extract it then open each individual file, like the system file with winrar, like ive done, this is the system folder from the backup, (see pict below)

so this backup won't allow me to restore the preload contents? is there anyway to restore it? or should I forget about ota updates?

no this backup doesnt appear to contain the data/preload contents, but thats why I said have you tried to update ?, is the update available to you yet ? maybe the M7_U is different to the UL and doesnt require this folder, or you could try as Danny stated earlier and use the UL ones he linked you too. :good:

I want to update manually by downloading the update file from HTC's website and then following these instructions to upgrade:
Performing the ROM Update:
1. Download and save the HTC One™ ROM update to your PC.
2. Connect your device to your PC via the supplied USB cable.
3. If the device is not recognized by the PC, ensure you have HTC Sync Manager installed and then disconnect and reconnect the device from the USB cable.
4. Once the device is properly recognized on the PC, locate the HTC One™ ROM update that you downloaded. Double-click on the file to launch the system update wizard.
5. Follow all of the system update wizard instructions shown on your PC.
6. Once the update is complete, click Finish in the Wizard and the device will reboot.
7. Once the device reboots, the initial setup wizard will appear.
8. Once the initial setup process is complete, the device is ready for use.
I found them here.
Danny said that manually restoring the contents might not work.. if I restore them and then try upgrading can it brick the phone? and how can I restore them anyway?

Not too sure about restoring the contents manually, I have done it myself before, but on a different HTC One SV a couple of years ago in order to update, but I did have a hell of a game doing it, even came down to creating the data and preload folders in system on my phone myself andf setting the correct premissions and then placing each file in there manually, I really wouldnt like to say if it would work for your device or not.
On a different note, which update files have you found, could you supply a link please, and I thought you had to be s-off to manually update regardless ?

no you don't need to s-off cause you'll be updating using HTC sync manager.
here's a link:

let's say I'm considering flashing maximushd Rom, I have flashed twrp recovery 2.8.4.0, now I just have to do a full wipe using it and then flash the Rom?

There is no lollipop update on that page for your phone, only the dev edition M7, but yes to MHD Rom, and if you get s-off you can flash the matching firmware too.

No flashing the firmware isn't required, although it's recommended, you should be ok just to flash the Rom, it's just the same as flashing a custom Rom.
As for unlocked its a different type of unlocked, confusing I know, yours is just network unlocked, that ruu / ota is dev edition, unlocked bootloader and s-off unlocked from the factory, have a look at the version number, the 3rd set of digits is what matters, that's 1540 dev, your output on page 1 states 401 international edition.

thanks for explaining that man you're amazing you saved me a lot of time.. I guess I'll download and flash mhd though I gotta ask, why is flashing the firmware recommended?
and is mhd a good Rom in your opinion?
Anyway I made a full nanodroid backup using twrp so that I can roll back if I don't like the results.. that'll work right?
thaaaaanx again

Nandroid is always recommended and a good idea, I use mhd myself, they are all very much the same at the moment to be honest, the differences between them are very minimal, and matching firmware to the Rom version is always recommended to save a potential problems.

Just to add, when the official SIGNED - (that's important) 401 firmware comes out and is available you will be able to flash that, at the moment it's unsigned and will brick your phone. You'll just need to relock your boot loader first as your s-on, then flash it like any other firmware, then re-unlock your bootloader and reflash a custom recovery.
