[Q] Blue screen after attempting 4.4 update - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know what I did, but I now get a blue screen that I can't get out of after getting the 4.4 OTA update. I rooted and installed a GPE 4.3 RUU previously with CWM and when 4.4 came along, I just didn't be careful. I cannot even get to the bootloader to do anything. Help! What do I do? Everything I try just puts me back at the blue screen.

Exact same issue, at first i couldn't get to bootloader, but after a couple attempts, you should be able to get to it... I literally did the exact same thing as you did, was it because you HTC wasn't google play edition? I flashed a custom rom for Google play 4.3 and did the O.T.A update, blue screen with pixels kind of floating around. Keep me updated

OK, I got back into bootloader (I'm an idiot and was holding down the wrong button). Just reinstalled the 4.3 file and everything was good from there.

I'm in the same boat. How'd you reinstall 4.3?

Yeah???? I'm lost

If you have access to your bootloader, just go into recovery. From there you can install the old rom.

Lost my old rom, pretty much hooped i think

grab the RUU here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
get to fastboot mode
then enter RUU mode with fastboot oem rebootRUU
then flash the RUU with fastboot flash zip RUUname.zip
do that command twice.
then reboot and you'll have a good clean GPE 4.4 install.

Mark please create a new thread..

it's the fastest, best and most reliable way.
You have no one to blame for this but yourself. it's your fault your phone is screwed up and your fault you don't have a backup.
After running that RUU if you don't screw with anything and don't load a custom recovery you will be able to get future OTA updates.
I've done the OTA so far on 3 One's that I had previously converted using the 4.3 conversion RUU. none of them failed catastrophically. I had to uninstall Xposed; and mine had a custom build.prop but those were minor hiccups that were easily fixed. I'll be doing the OTA on a 4th one later today so I guess we'll see if my luck holds up..

I have back up, i got the blue screen then i went to recovery and got every thing back. The link you posted tells me how to update but they also tell me that all the mobiles memory will be erased, is there any way i can update with out erasing the memory?

no. running the RUU will wipe /data. it's unavoidable.
if you can't boot normally you'll need to pull your stuff off via ADB and save to your PC. then after running the RUU you can copy files back. I would NOT recommend restoring data from a nandroid since it doesn't sound like you had a successful conversion to 4.4 with the OTA so you'd be restoring old 4.3 data structures.

thank you
one more question, if i run the RUU and i get the 4.4 update will i get the blue screen when updating to a newer version?
why even did the blue screen in the first place? i have the build number: JWR66V.H10 and i know that it is the original GE.

you seem to be misunderstanding. the RUU is the 4.4 update. There might be slight ota updates but until 4.5 comes out there won't be another major update you'd install.
you flashed an ota update from a custom recovery Don't do that!
that should be JWR66Y.h10! you missed an update in between. not sure how the update ran at all with the wrong build. your recovery must not have been enforcing requirements.

i have just found out what may be the problem, s-on
i have tried to change it before but there was nothing for hboot1.54.
i tried Rumrunner, at first it gave me error but after installing the HTC drive twice it appeared to be working.
sadly it reaches a point after 2 fast boots then tells me: FATAL
I don't know what to do.

4.3 update messed up my phone

I have rooted HTC one google edition. I received a new official updated that I installed through twrp, after installation it told me that root access was lost and i could restore it by pressing restore root access option. Since then i cant get past the Google screen. My phone basically gets to Google screen then restarts, gets to Google screen and restarts. I tried factory reset, did not help. What should i do?
If you have a Google Edition rooted phone, it shouldnt have installed the OTA with a custom recovery installed. You'll likely have to use the RUU in the original dev thread. you'll want to backup your sdcard via adb cause the RUU will wipe everything.

Just use this, its either pre-rooted or unrooted, follow the instructions but being on a GE One you should already be all set to flash it.

You can't install an OTA through a custom recovery my friend. RUU is your best option right now.

How am i supposed to use RUU if my computer wont recognize my phone in fastboot?
The RUU won't help anyway. It's not signed therefore will only install on s-off phone.

what does device manager say?
if it says something like QHUSB_Download mode, you're screwed, get it swapped out
if you can get to the bootloader, you can probably install a recovery again and install a stock 4.2.2 or 4.3 rom and get back up and running.

I can get to bootloader and i can also get to twrp. But the thing is i cant download anything to my phone because i cant access it through my computer, i hear the sound when i plug it in but i dont see the device in "My Computer"
Learned the hard way.
Your phone is not recognized, because you haven't updated your ADB and Fastboot files on your computer. Once, you do that.. You will need to download hboot 1.44 that gunnyman has in the 4.3 thread via RUU. After that is done find yourself, the RUU from whatever provider your phone is running under.. Ex: Dev or Tmo or ATT etc etc.. That should fix you up. I did this to my device once messing around with it.. But my problem also was with a locked boot loader that had 4 exclamation triangles on each corner.. No boot screen for start up even came up.. Just back to the boot loader of doom.

then all is not lost. you're having either a driver issue or trying to use a usb 3 port or something like that.
boot to recovery
type adb devices
if it gives a number you can sideload a ROM.
download this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390346
it's stock rooted 4.3
sideload it in twrp
start the sideload mode in twrp
type adb sideload then the name of the rom. the rom will push to the phone and then install.

He obviously has some sort of thing going. It clearly states in his OP, FYI. That he "was" rooted "before" the update. Umm & if he can get into boot loader & TWRP Recovery... He still has a chance.

Help, I need somebody! (Serious problems restoring original firmware)

Hey guys,
I'm really sorry to bother everyone but I just spent 10 hours straight trying to get my HTC One back to its original state.
I'm really frustrated as I have tried 15 different tutorials and have about 1 million tabs open right now.
- I tried the whole re-locking thing and tried flashing a RUU (tried so many different ones but always some signature error. And with exe's I should get the right utility because it's the wrong bootloader). I don't even know what's the right one. Here's the getvar version-main I get: 1.29.401.12
- I somehow wiped everything and can't even get my phone as an external flash drive.
- I read I should have S Off whatever that is, but for that I needed to re-flash a rom. I can't even get that to work anymore. I tried to sideload it. It worked...but there's nothing on the phone except an ever turning cyanogenmod wheel.
- I took a pic of my bootloader screen, maybe you guys can decipher what there's to be done.

Okay, your hboot is 1.44 (April 2013), so you should be able to achieve S-Off using revone.
can you please post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and serialno), and confirm your bootloader is unlocked
sure, here you go:

Sorry for having to rewind a little, but can you let me know your goal?
1- hboot -> OK
2- getvar -> OK
3- you can achieve S-Off using revone with a Sense 5 / Android 4.1.2 based ROM
I need to go now, and may not be back till Saturday, in the meantime, if you need to get you phone up & running just use: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_1-29-401-13-zip/ (unselect "stock recovery" during installer) or any other custom ROM out there.

i just downloaded that zip and now i have absolutely no clue what to do...
Ah I think I know what your problem is ... 1.29.401.12 doesnt have a full RUU file anywhere ... can u tell me the filename you tried running (RUU exe?) ..
So what you need is ...
1. TWRP/CWM Recovery installed and working
2. TWRP/CWM Backup ROM file for 1.29.401.12
I could only google and find CWM backup for your ROM so you need to flash CWM recovery first (I assume you know how)
Download your ROM backup from here -> http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc__102-1-29-401-12-2013-05-16-zip/
adb push this to your sdcard and use restore option from CWM... also best if you wipe data/factory reset first since you had CM on it

No need to relock
i don't know how adb push works. i tried following a tutorial but it says to mount sdcard which i don't have. i only have system, data and cache.
i then re-locked, then tried to flash via fastboot oem reboot and flash zip.
that didn't work because of "signature verify fail".
i'd love to try adb push, if you could be so nice to tell me how i'd have to proceed.
It would be easier if you download a Custom ROM and then in CWM choose Install -> Sideload
And then from PC , adb sideload yourfile.zip
This should load the Custom ROM ... it will be easier to transfer and manage the nandroid backup files once the OS is loaded

yes i tried that but it does not work. and i don't get why.
1. i sideloaded a cm stable file.
2. the file had been renamed sideload.zip
3. i started the install and it said successful.
4. when i boot the phone, the cm wheel turns and turns infinitely.
5. i tried a different rom (infection), it said succesful install, i re-booted but that darned cm wheel was still there turning and turning thinking "you like that huh?"
If you have nothing to save on sdcard , this is what I would do ...
1. Wipe System
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Data
4. Wipe INternal Storage
And CWM Sideload should start the flashing immediately after transferring the zip file unless u r doing it some wrong way

i sideloaded it via a toolkit and it worked. guru reset gave me another version number than the getvar thought. strange isn't it?

One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't have to take the OTA...you just flash the firmware and done.

i did that and then i was unable to take profile or prl updates :crying: it also didnt apear to have fixed the signal issue... i might not have waited enough... or it could have something to do with the unability to take prl and profile updates... anyhow ill try again from a diferent download see what happens
Did your baseband change? last four should be .0610.
If it did change then it's most likely a network issue.

Yes the baseband did change but the signal problem persists. i need to take the FULL ota to fix my phone (or install something else that will) regardless the radios alone aren't fixing the issue.
i tried flashing the rafios by themselves and it wouldnt update prl or profile; it also had the same signal issue. i tried the radios AND the new stock rom for it and same thing. i tried going back to stock and taking the ota and the ota wouldnt install.
Thoughs?
I'm the same root/s-off. I flash the h/k sound file did you find a way to install the latest ota update?
I cant figure out how to get the OTA either
I have S-Off im also rooted, and i have TWRP recovery, i can't get the zip to flash. I was thinking about doing a stock root recovery using the RUU, but then i thought if i do that, would i still be able to reroot using the same method? so my question is, how can i flash this zip and keep my root? or should do a stock recovery from the RUU and update and wait for another root? if any devs read this, i'd really like your help please and thank you. I currently have the stock rom with just root access and S-Off.no custom roms on here.
man.. i have the same problem bro.. smh.. hey man keep me posted if something comes up

You have to have stock recovery to take the update, which means you have to flash stock recovery first and then take the update, then repeat the rooting process.

I tried that and failed, I returned to a completely stock rooted backup from the day I rooted, downloaded the update, chose install, it rebooted to recovery, saw no stock recovery, so it brought up TWRP and thats it.........

you should at least have seen a green arrow circle and/or a red triangle with a "!" in the middle. if you saw the triangle that is recovery trying and failing to update. at this point if you press and releast volumeup+power it should bring up the text of what it did.

I'm looking at the MikMik one, and I am just not sure if this will erase all my apps and settings. Do I need to use a backup app or should I be ok flashing this and keeping all my apps and settings?

[Q] phone freezes entering the recovery

I unlooked the phon on the HTC website and tried to root it. I used DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su, DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su and a few other images, all with the same result. After flashing the image successfully and entering the recovery the phone shows the white HTC splash screen and freez.
Thanks to DooMLoRD for this easy tool. What do I wrong?
Try to use Ruu to rescue,don't use tools.it is a wise policy.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2808777 get rooted by this guy's tool is safer,I think.use ruu to rescue your phone,get rooted by his tool.don't expected too much,don't install all the newly ported ROM here,or else you will make your phone act abnormally.
Thanks for your support.
First I found "RUU_RUNNYMEDE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.2_Radio_20.70.30.0832U_3831.16.00.16_M_release_258303_signed" and tried it. But the image is to old, Ver. 2.31.401.2, I have Ver. 3.33.401.153, and downgrade did not run. Then I noticed your second link and tried out. Flash of the custom recovery was successful, but booting in recovery still freezes my phone with the white HTC splash screen.
Any further idea?
I don't think that the problem is the recovery image or how to bring it to the phone, I think the problem is something else.
Use windycityrocker's universal tool to reinstall a recovery.
That is to say your phone is not completely rooted.Rom with OTA cannot be completely rooted,use cityrocker's tool.

yes you have to have a pc . Download the program and just follow the guide. Should be very simple . But you do need stock to get this update. After you are done flash back or just restore back-up

I checked the link and it is the old update from 12.17.2014 or 1.47.652.1. I couldn't find the newest update or anything from 2015 at all on the HTC site anywhere. I received the update today, 1.48.652.2 (30.68MB), but after it downloaded, restarted and tried to install, it gave me a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle. Has anyone else seen this? (My bootloader is locked and I fully wiped my phone and sdcard before installing the Boost stock RUU so nothing should be interfering) I contacted HTC and they walked me through some steps to fix it, but eventually they told me to contact Boost. I didn't contact them yet, but Boost Zone says the system updates on my phone are up to date.
Please Help(boost)

My phone fails when I try to install the update, also. Is your bootloader locked? If it is unlocked, the RUU update will fail.

I wouldn't bother. I contacted HTC and Boost Mobile and they both said there is nothing they can do about it. I think some of us have to wait until 1.48.652.2 is actually on HTCs site and good to go to download. For now all I see is 1.47.652.1. I wonder why some people can download it perfectly and others can't. I even tried to manually install it through the stock recovery. It downloads to the Download folder and I thought it had to be on the root of the sdcard. I moved it to the root of my internal sdcard and tried to install and it failed. I used the "OTA_A11_CHL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.48.652.2-1.47.652.1_R_release_420824qapx9dhr8n40gasg.zip" name and even renamed it to update.zip like other HTC phones use. I extracted the recovery.img and tried to flash, thinking it would help for some reason, with no success. I tried all I can do with my knowledge on this subject. Either one of the geniuses on this site can help or we'll have to wait.
Red Triangle 10% into 1.48.652.2 on Boost. On stock locked 1.47.652.1.. Is this the Lolipop update? cause if it isn't i don't care about it. :silly:
Tried installing on fresh RUU on Boost mobile. Update fails everytime. I looked into the update zip. For 30 mbs its got a lot of stuff in it. It updates most of the system apps as well as gapps. also theres some new certs getting installed. Maybe its a prep update.

No it's not Lollipop, just security enhancements and bug fixes. I contacted HTC and Boost and there is nothing they can do at the moment about our problems with updating. I think we just have to wait until Lollipop comes out and they release an official RUU.
