[Q] Help! Bricked my GPE during 4.4 OTA update! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, I was asking about this on another thread about GPE OTA URL, but since I'm running into trouble, maybe I should post here too. After an OTA update to 4.4, the phone is now in bootloop. I tried to do RUU but I can't since my phone is S-ON. I tried to follow thread of revone, but I can't connect to my phone through adb. I also tried factory reset through recovery. I can see the Welcome screen for a second and it boots again.
Now the phone is bricked. Is there anything I can do to solve it?
My Phone:
- Real HTC ONE GPE from google play store
- TAMPERED, RELOCKED(I tried to unlock it through steps from htcdev. I am not see the disclaimer screen now after I could load the Unlock_code.bin to the device already)
- HBOOT 1.54, S-ON
- Stock recovery.

try finding a full GPE RUU and try to get your phone back. with relocked bootloader and no S-off and HTCdev no working, this is your only option. Don't know where the GPE RUUs are otherwise I would have linked.
so search very well, and make sure it's for your phone (CID & MID) and try it. and don't rush into things!!!
if you have questions, better to ask and wait for a response, before you have a paperweight.

What was the error when you ran the 4.4 non-rooted RUU from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 ?
Remember you have to run the fastboot flash ruu command twice as per that link.

Same Here
Almost exactly the same thing happened to me, my GPe is locked though. I tried all the 4.4, 4.3, and 4.2.2 RUU and get FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail).
I tried unlocking bootloader using "fastboot oem unlock" and get this error:

Can you flash a custom recovery? If so, can your phone boot into it?
fastboot flash ruu is failing due to you being S-On.

I'm checking on that too. May I know if I'm okay to do so if my bootloader is relocked?

Unlock it.

Tried. As I said before, if I follow instructions from htcdev, somehow I'm not getting the disclaimer screen after I flash the Unlock_code.bin. I also tried fastbook oem unlock but no luck. Couldn't find other ways to unlock the bootloader.
May I know if there's any way I can unlock it?

Fastboot oem unlock

I'm have the same issue as others...
Currently my bootloader says i have OS-3.58.1700.5, but no OS will load, and I am on a neverending loop....
Currently my system is locked. (I stupidly followed HTC's advice for updating and relocked my device).
And i no longer have twrp - once again following advice of others and putting on the stock bootloader.
I do have the stock bootloader, but i cannot install anything, and I cannot get past the google start screen (just cycles between Google and black).
I tried re-unlocking, both with the HTCdev tool - which looked like it was successful, but still reads "relocked".
And the fastboot oem unlock gives me the following error:
(bootloader) [PG_ERROR] htc_pg_part_traverse(839):
(bootloader) invalid traverse range
(bootloader) [PG_ERROR] htc_pg_part_read(1029):

(bootloader) ead error!
(bootloader) [DISPLAY_ERR] Can not load custom splash!
(bootloader) Loading custom splash failed!
OKAY [ 0.538s]
finished. total time: 0.538s
any attempts to flash a stock ROM using fastboot commands gives me the following error:

finished. total time: 51.867s
I should've just kept 4.3.
I was so desperate I contacted HTC - but my phone says "TAMPERED" and "RELOCKED", so they would definitely have issues up-keeping the warranty.
The rest of the info in my bootloader reads:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RADIO-4T.21.3218.21
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-3.58.1700.5
eMMC-boot 2048MB
I would simply be happy to get to where i was before on GPe 4.3, and hopefully with twrp re-installed so i can recover my last backup! Please help, if you can!!!

Thanks for your reply!! I went through topics by nkk71. However, I can't find threads about s-on compatible ROM to download. May I know where I can find it? Also, is there any instruction about installing that through clockworkmod recovery?
Really thanks again!

BTW, thanks for naming me, but if you wanna get my attention use @ as in @nkk71, (like @felix1212) that would show me a mention and I would see it.
So what's your situation, (seems a few cross-posts, so don't wanna mix thinks up, can you give a quick summary, i understand your s-on, but what's your "fastboot getver all" (remove IMEI and s/n), and where did you get stuck.

I'm going through a similar issue right now. I have a HTC one that I had converted to a GPe by changing the CID etc. All was well until the 4.4 OTA update bricked my device. It shows the "GOOGLE" screen, then black then sometimes the screen again, then some error message.
I found a collection of HTC one RUU's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276&highlight=4+4
And a little guide on how to flash RUU's here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800
Hopefully there is some information in there that will help you out. Keep in mind that when flashing an RUU you will lose all your data. It basically becomes a new phone. But you should be able to do it, no matter what state your phone is in. so long as you have fastboot access.

I appear to be in a similar situation:
- S-ON Google Play Edition HTC One
- Took KitKat 4.4 OTA and ended up in reboot loop
- Cleared all caches + data partition from CWM. Didn't help.
- Decided to try to flash from RUU
- Read that I needed to re-lock my bootloader in order to flash an RUU and get out of this mess
- relocked using fastboot oem lock
- Tried to install several RUUs: 4.4 rooted, 4.4 stock, 4.3 stock.
All of them fail like this:

Some thoughts:
- Being s-off would bypass the signature error during RUU
- I can't s-off in 1.54 without having a bootable phone
- I might be able to get a bootable phone by installing a 4.3 .zip file using CWM or flashing system.img using fastboot, but I can't do those things with a locked bootloader, and can't re-unlock the bootloader due to the above failures.
Open questions:
- Why do the RUU's fail signature validation? They are being presented as stock RUU's.
- Is there an .exe RUU for the GPE HTC ONE?
- Why doesn't 'fastboot oem unlock' work anymore? I thought that was the method for GPE HTC ONEs
This happened to my phone and also my girlfriend's, which are identical phones with identical OS/update situations. I haven't re-locked her bootloader, so there may be more options there, but I wanted to avoid messing with her phone further until I exhaust every path available on mine.

I had the same problem. I found 4.3 stock ROM for Google Play Edition HTC One, used TWRP to push the ROM to storage then from TWRP recovery installed the 4.3 ROM. It worked then updated to JWR66Y.H1 and now am waiting for 4.4 OTA.

Thanks, I used your method with CWM and M7_UL_JB43_STOCK_UI_S_Google_WWE_3.06.1700.10.zip and got the gf's phone up and running again on jb.
Unfortunately, my phone was the guinea pig earlier on and it's now stuck with a re-locked bootloader and stock recovery .
Looks like my next step is figuring out how to re-unlock the bootloader. Very frustrating. Unlocking/locking are supposed to be easily reversible on google edition devices.

Good, it took me literally 36 hours to get mine up and running.

M7 stuck on recovery after relock

Hi guys,
I've been trying to reset my One back to stock and I've accidentally got it stuck in recovery after I reclocked it with the All-in-one toolkit. Every time I restart it won't load Android and instead just goes to recovery.

Ok I've unlocked the phone again and now I can boot it up normally.... Can anyone help me with how to go back to stock? I don't want to mess it up again.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 20.2 Android 4.3, Sense 5.0
You can't boot locked with a custom recovery. That was your problem. Just relock and run a RUU right then and there.

I've found a few RUU's with the right baseband 4A.14.3250.13, but can only find 1.29.401.2 and 1.29.401.15. I tried to use these originally but it wouldn't do it... Any idea which one to go for? Thanks

try issuing the command
fastboot oem relock
instead to lock your bootloader
but before relocking your bootloader
download your guru reset from here
install using the custom recovery (twrp/cwm)
during installation, install the stock recovery and do not root
after that, you should be back to to stock and all you need to do is relock your device
why dont you s-off your device so you can be 100% stock and would seem like your phone is out of the box?
Since you're still on hboot 1.44, I recommend you get S-Off using revone, also remove TAMPERED and put it LOCKED (using revone), then you can use the European RUU to downgrade and restore fully to 100% stock.

[Q] Htc One M7 Signature verify fail

1- the command is: fastboot erase cache
2- you need to have bootloader UNLOCKED to be able to flash a custom recovery

I had this problem before
so you need to unlock your bootloder by "cmd" order and then your device will be restart and enter to recovery direct in this moment flash any custom rom and this step will be unlock your bootloder and allow you to do any thing

Okay so you just need to get a Rom installed on the device. Here is the stock rom for your m7 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274 you don't have to use this rom you can use any rom you choose. But if your still on the At&t network this will enable you to update via OTA. Otherwise use any rom you prefer.
There are a number of ways to get the rom to your internal storage. Probably re easiest is to flash TWRP 2.8.5.0. This will allow you to view your internal storage when connected to your pc in recovery. Then you can simply drag and drop the rom onto your device. Then install it with TWRP.
TWRP 2.8.5.0 does tend to hang while installing some roms though. So if you run into problems installing the rom try an older version of TWRP.
Or you can use adb to push the rom. This should work with any recovery. Put the rom in your fastboot folder and rename it something simple e.g - rom.zip
Boot the device to recovery and connect your usb cable. In a fastboot command prompt type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command prompt will appear unresponsive until the push is complete (several minutes). When it's done install the rom with your recovery :good:

[Q] [HELP]HTC Boots straight into Fastboot

I have read countless threads, tried over a dozen roms, Unlocked and re-locked the bootloader countless times. Flashed recoveries to it more than enough number of times but I can get my phone to work.
My phone boots straight into hboot and there is no OS installed on it, thanks to my meddling with it a while back.

couple of things
your bootloader has to be unlocked to flash the recovery and rom
then in recovery install the Guru reset, it's a rom not a fastboot firmware
also edit your post to remove the serial and IMEI

you need to update your drivers and/r update your adb and fastboot, you can find a link to adb and fastboot on the page I linked before, and you can get your drivers by downloading HTC sync manager and then install, once installed, remove htc sync just leaving the drivers.

HELP! One mini 2 can't unlock bootloader doesn't show splash screen

Okay lots of issues hopefully one easy fix,
I have had a HOM2 given to me to fix for my friend so just want it back to stock , it has no radios it mentions invalid_ver_* , same for another option, the bootloader is LOCKED here is my getvar info

all: Done!
, its bootlooping into bootloader, so my first thought was unlock bootloader flash recovery and side load a rom, play with radios and such after, but trying to unlock the bootloader doesn't work I've tried HTC dev twice to check the unlock code but it pushes it to the device and claims it was successful I get this;
**UNLOCK CODE***
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.109s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 0.125ss
tried different USB cables and ports but every time I try I don't get the unlock splash screen asking me to unlock, so I went through the forums and tried a few things found that clearing cache or and data gives me
**CLEAR CACHE***
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot erase cache
******** Did you mean to fastboot format this partition?
erasing 'cache'...
FAILED (remote: erasing error!)
finished. total time: 5.038ss
I tried flashing recovery (just for kicks) I get
***SEND RECOVERY***
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp-2.8.5.0.img
sending 'recovery' (11796 KB)...
OKAY [ 10.472s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 11.316sss
Which I guess is to be expected,
I then found an RUU for the device and was thankful the unlocking didn't work so I was still locked, but every one I try to download is corrupt? Anybody have a working link for a UK ee (orange) radios and firmware? And do I have the right idea with this, download, rename, chuck it on an sdcard and bootloader should find it automatically?
Thanks for any advice

i found a way to get the ruu onto the sdcard by uploading the file to dropbox and redownloading it straight to the memory card then stuck it in the phone tried an orange ruu it gets half way through updating then stops and spits out a message to say its not the right cid so i got the wwe version that looks like itll work but then fails and tells me 'MAIN VERSION IS OLDER' update failed.

HTC One M7 - Bricked?

Hey guys.
I was wondering if anyone could take some time and help figure out what's wrong with my Htc one!
So my new phone broke and so i went back to my One that i haven't used in ages.
Anyways it was alredy rooted with S-Off and first thing i was trying todo was to install TWRP and a new rom.
After i installed twrp and rebooted the phone and upon start i sent me directly in to the "power off + Volume down" menu and i tried to enter Recovery.
All i get is "Active cmdline overflow! (2169 Bytes)" then nothing more.
So i tried some fastboot commands and this is what i get from
Fastboot devices ҟÀü«/륑-1ý}ËÙ fastboot
I reckoning something is wrong here because the name has never shown like this before.
If i try adb devices i get nothing.
So i started to belive that maybe the cable was ****ed and now i almost tried 7 diffrent cables and all of them is giving me the same message.
I tried a diffrent computer, i tried in windows 10 and now im in Ubuntu 16.04 and still cant get adb to show the device.

What roms did you flashed (post a link) ? Active cmdline overflow is caused by a corrupted misc partition, most of the time because the user flashed a rom for another device than the m7. During the installation, the updater script of that rom flash images to wrong partitions (since all phone models have a different partition layout). Some partitions are unique to each m7 and if they get corrupted, a simple ruu flash will not solve your problem.
Your adb problem is most likely a driver issue. Make sure you have the latest drivers from HTC (those that are bundled with HTCSync) and try again. The only way out of this is to make p19 healthy again by following that guide you linked (if it was caused by an incompatible rom flash...waiting for your link).
Btw do not attempt to downgrade to hboot 1.44 if you're using windows 8/10 or you'll also loose fastboot connectivity.

What roms did you flashed (post a link) ? Active cmdline overflow is caused by a corrupted misc partition, most of the time because the user flashed a rom for another device than the m7. During the installation, the updater script of that rom flash images to wrong partitions (since all phone models have a different partition layout).

Well as I want to remember it I don't think I have flashed a rom yet, I never got that far I just tried to flash twrp 2.8.4.0.
Do i even need drivers in Ubuntu ? I was under the influence that I didn't need any.

Well if I understand it right when I try to flash a RUU it just says unknown modelid and I think because it's corrupted or something. :/

No you don't, only on windows, sorry. ADB should work fine from twrp and no drivers required on ubuntu, adb will not work from the bootloader.
