[Q] what should I do to rescue my M7? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear XDA:
After I flash InsertCoin 7.0-3(full wipe,from MaximusHD | 20.0.0 | ), my M7(HK version) then went to a weird circle between boot into system and boot into recovery(but can't really boot into recovery).
Someone said that I can clear the recovery cache under Hboot by use a tool, but the problem is i can't connect my PC under the Hboot mode.
[*]so now ,first, I can't boot OS
[*]second, I can't get in recovery
[*]third, I can get in Hboot without connect my PC
what should I do to rescue my M7?

You need to use fastboot. When in Hboot, select fastboot from the menu. When your phone is connected, it should then change to say Fastboot USB.
Use fastboot to re-flash your recovery, then fastboot erase cache. You should then be able to get back into recovery.
Edit: This likely happened because you have tried to flash a 4.4 ROM without S-Off?

anyelse shuold I do?
Thanks, I get in fastboot, then connect with my PC, but the phone can't be connected. PC can't recognise my phone...
Yes, my phone is S-on, anyelse shuold I do?

You could try removing all other software that could interfere like HTC Sync and Kies. Then reinstall Android USB divers via the SDK. Avoid using USB3.0 ports on your computer.

[Q] Tried kitkat sideload, now device keeps rebooting

I had unlocked HTC One with Sense, which I had done 4.3 RUU install to convert it to GPe. Fast forward to now... I thought I'd sideload the 4.4 update, and during that process I got
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
installation aborted
I thought, great. No problem, I'll just do the traditional RUU again, I'll be fine.
BUT...
Now I can't boot into old OS. The phone keeps rebooting to the recovery. I tried to wipe-data from recovery, which didn't help. I also tried factory reset from HBOOT, and that didn't do anything either.
I am able to get into HBOOT and Stock recovery, so I know the phone is not bricked. I guess, I never had to deal with this situation before so I'm not sure how to get out of this loop. Is there a way I can get my phone to recognize on my computer, so that I can do the ADB / Fastboot commands?
Help!
PS: It might help to know what my device situation is atm. I have Unlocked bootloader with HBOOT 1.54, S-OFF
Have you tried to run the 4.3 or 4.4 RUU file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 ?
you have fastboot on your pc?

To do that, my phone would have to be recognized by the pc first, right? If I plug in via USB, and run adb devices I don't get any devices listed.
At what point should my phone be recognized by my laptop? The phone never goes to the main OS, so is there some way to get it to be recognized on my laptop USB while in HBOOT or Recovery? I have the stock recovery. The top of the recovery screen say s"Android system recovery <3e>"
I'm following along in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544199 thread for now. A few things are similar. If I see anything different, I'll comment here again to see if anyone can help.
As you are S-Off, you can put the phone in fastboot mode, connect to computer and run the fastboot flash ruu twice.. either 4.3 or 4.4 RUU.
Update your covery twrp to v2.6.3.3 I updated after the looping problem and it worked, it installed with out the boot loops
Fastboot Flash the 4.3 boot.img
Then
Fastboot erase cache
Boot recovery
Wipe data
Flash 4.3 rom

I got as far as flashing the RUU. I ran fastboot oem rebootRUU and then fastboot flash zip RUU-<more-stuff>.zip. The progress on my console shows the process completed successfully, but the phone is stuck at almost 99% on the progress bar. I'll wait for a while and see if it finishes. How long would be too long to wait?

Haah! I should've followed through the complete instructions... I ended up giving the fastboot reboot and it started the boot. I couldn't reply sooner due to new-member 5-minute restriction.
Learned something good, something new today. And the phone WORKS! Thanks for your help.
Great news. Hit the thanks button if you dont mind! and keep the S-Off. that is your savior!
Cheers.

Since you are telling device is not detected in PC,
I can safely assume that you are not flashing boot.img through fastboot from PC.
If you are S-ON, you need to flash boot.img file of ROM you want to install through fastboot command...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
google it for more info.
And connect your phone, go to fastboot mode and check with command
fastboot devices
your device should be listed in fastboot mode
and if still not detecting by PC, then must be driver issue and it should have nothing to do with phone.

I just reread his post. Then reread yours. And I realized that the other guy's post doesn't really make much sense. I don't know if he is saying if his computer's USB port is broken. If so then use another one. Then I could also read it as His phone's USB port is broken, and in that case, he really is out of luck.

Hey, lt's lot of guess work here and we need to hear from actual victim...
but let me put my basis..
from 1st post, I can assume that he doesn't know of fact that he need to flash boot image through fastboot.
Hence, I believe that he may even doesn't know what if fastboot.
And without any ROM installed, device can only be detected in fastboot.
So, I strongly believe, he need to try to detect device in fastboot mode and very less chances USB is broken.
Now lets wait to hear from OP guy.
in htc sunsation 4ext recovery there is a way to flash boot.img
try it :
1- go to 4ext recovery
2- select Tools
3- the last one is ( enable smart flash)>> click it once then flash ROM
I don't know if our 4ext recovery support this feature or not
yep. because this is development and all that.

Cannot connect to fastboot through ADB

Hi guys. I've had my HTC one for a while now and it had TWRP flashed on it. About a week ago I flashed the android revolution rom, worked well but my camera went really weird if I looked back at some recordings. So I wanted to revert back to stock everything. I flashed a stock recovery for the M7, after that I had the problem of not being able to connect my device to the computer when I fastboot mode. Simply wouldn't pick it up when I typed ADB devices in cmd. My device wouldn't show up after installing stock recovery. And it doesn't want to restore any roms either in stock recovery mode. I can't even access my folders in that mode to flash any roms. I click either apply from sd card, apply from phone storage. Says for a split second check CID failed or something and reboots itself.
I cannot flash TWRP back cause my computer since it can't pick it up. I've tried everything. Changing USB ports, uninstalling my drives for htc. Changing computers, unlocking, relocking bootloader. No result. I'm screwed cause I'm stuck on this android revolution rom, rooted. Just wanna flash custom recovery. I can connect it to my computer, access folders and add things to it but soon as I turn it off and go into fastboot mode it says fastboot usb and can hear the noise when its connected but it doesn't show up in adb devices and when I flash the TWRP it starts send then comes up with FAILED. Help please, would be appreciated!

Adb only works if you'te booted to OS or custom recovery. Command you're looking for in bootloader menu is "fastboot devices"
Fala Puno. Ja sam raditi sada. I'm of Croatian decent in Australia. I'll try this later when I return home
Fixed it! I'm an idiot, I didn't realise I was flashing the m8 twrp instead of m7. That's why it failed. Lol. Anyway thanks

HTC One Mini 2: Wiped System, sdcard, external sdcard

Hi there,
I had installed TWRP on my HTC One mini 2, but accidentally "wiped" system, sdcard and external sdcard. I'm now trying to enter Recovery but the procedure isn't working anymore (before wiping I could enter Recovery mode manually by following the procedure). When I connect my phone to my computer, I get an error message ""This device cannot start. (Code 10)". Before wiping the device, it was detected and I could use ADB and FASTBOOT. I've search a lot on internet but can't solve this issue.
I hope someone can help me so that I can enter recovery and install another ROM.
Thanks

All you need HERE
you need HTC drivers
flash recovery again.
enter TWRP and make backup.
replace backup with the one in the URL
in TWRP use restore option
DONE
Hi Kativiti,
Thanks for your reply. I have already downloaded those files and tried the USB drivers on two different laptops and different USB ports, but the drivers aren't installed. Without the drivers I can't execute the adb commands.
Do you have any other other suggestions?
Thanks.

need a bit more info to try help better.
are you able to enter HBOOT then FASTBOOT?
Is the device recognized in laptop? "fasboot devices"
When you try to enter recovery what happens? error? black? anything?
are you using original HTC cable?
I can't enter either hboot or recovery. When I follow the procedure, the phone just reboots and nothing else is happening. When it reboots, I can see the HTC logo.
I have tried to install the drivers on four different laptops but the phone isn't being recognized and thus can't use any adb or fastboot commands. I'm using the original usb cables I got with this phone.
Please advice.

you should be able to enter HBOOT. if you doing it right and still cannot enter them you'll need to send phone to HTC.
Ok. I was able to enter HBoot before I formated/wiped the system and sdcard location. Can you confirm that I should be able to enter HBoot even after formating/wiping the whole phone?
Thanks.

Stuck in Fastboot

Ok..so here's the situation. I was going to install a new ROM ( my son got a new phone a iphone ) but any ways. As I was in TWRP i did everything we all normally do but the phone died mid flashing GAPPS. when i went to pulg the phone to the charger and restart the phone i see that it started to boot up the it jumped straight to FASTBOOT and it's stuck. I can toggle through fastboot but that is it. when i go to restart it will show the boot animation but then goes to fast boot. it wont go to TWRP nothing. I've combed XDA and found the multi tool but don't think that is working or i might be using it wrong. the computer doesn't recognize the phone. im trying to get this phone back up and going and give to my daughter . any help is greatly appreciated. thank you in advacne.
Here's what I'm talking about just in case someone asks

How...I can't get my computer to recognize the phone... When I plug it in it doesn't read it...I should have the drivers already installed...adb push right.... I'll search for the command to see if it finds the phone
adb never works in fastboot mode. You'll have to use the fastboot command.
On the PC, try
fastboot devices
to see whether the phone is available. If not, check your drivers - I believe that fastboot uses a different USB driver.
With fastboot, you can't install zip-files, only image files. So download the stock factory image, not the OTA.
