[Q] Dead Boot Rescue - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys badly need help here, my One has been unoperational for a week now. I converted it to GPE and updated to 4.4. 2 days ago I want to restore it to its factory ROM, restoring its warranty as well through this tutorial: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/return-your-rooted-unlocked-htc-one-back-factory-settings-for-warranty-repairs-0149204/. Unfortunately after performing step 3, my phone rebooted and is stuck in bootloader with these details:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.54.0000

OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS- 3.58.1700.5
eMMC-boot 2048MB
I can't boot to recovery, when I connect it to PC only fastboot commands are working. It's not detected by ADB. Everytime I flash a new recovery like cwm or twrp it returns with this:
{

Everytime I flash the RUU file it returns with this:
I tried the factory reset but it just reboots the phone..I can't even to its installed ROM.
Pls help me to fix my phone.. :'(

Can you unlock your boot loader via
fastboot oem unlock
Or
via HTCDev bootloader unlocker?

I will get there said:

This is the response when I try the command "fastboot oem unlock"
And the HTCDev Unlock, with no response on my phone. No unlock confirmation, it stays in bootloader.
I am afraid my phone is already dead locked.

You can't flash RUU zips with S-On, you need the RUU.exe for your region/carrier.
If you can get into fastboot then its very unlikely that it is dead.

If it's for his MID & CID, he can flash a ruu.zip. IMHO

Since your bootloader is RELOCKED its normal that you cannot flash a custom recovery. Perform a factory reset from the Bootloader and try again with the HTCDev unlock.

Hi @Ivanovic, I have tried selecting factory reset from bootloader but it just reboots the phone to bootloader.

Why did you relock the bootloader? Before relocking did you have custom or stock recovery?

It was unlocked when it was still running on GPE 4.4. When I tried to return to factory ROM, I accidentally "RELOCKED" it instead of achieving "LOCKED" status, as it is instructed here: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/return-your-rooted-unlocked-htc-one-back-factory-settings-for-warranty-repairs-0149204/
Re-unlocking with HTCDev does not work at all. @Ivanovic
Yes I installed TWRP before relocking, but I can't boot on recovery now..

-wrong post, sorry-

Yes I was at S-OFF and turned to S-ON as instructed. I have no idea that would change everything..
I bought it yesterday in a repair shop, but they said its already "DEADBOOT" which I believe not true as I can still send commands and communicate with the phone through FASTBOOT, but not with ADB.. @Ivanovic

ADB works only withing Recovery or when the phone has booted to normal state. Either way ADB wasnt gonna help you. You need to unlock the bootloader somehow and flash a custom recovery. For unlocking did you try fastboot oem unlock or the unlock token command?
Although it says you need s-off please try the following:
1.Download stock zip RUU for 4.4 http://d-h.st/Kmq
2.Boot into bootloader and choose fastboot
3.Make sure fastboot works by typing fastboot devices
4.type fastboot oem rebootRUU
5.type fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-4.4-3.58.1700.5.zip
6.it will fail so type again fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-4.4-3.58.1700.5.zip

Hey, since you are able to get to fastboot, your phone is not dead
So dont panic
Do you hav the htc Unlock_code.bin which you got from your email adress when you first unlocked your bootloader using htcDev?

@prunzzz Yes I still have the .bin file..I've tried unlocking using it but same result, no response from the phone..

Can you give a bit more history? Correct me if I'm off...
HBOOT: M7_UK PVT SHIP S-ON RH
MID: (PN0714000) is Australia/Hong Kong/Singapore
CID: (GOOGL001) is Google
Firmware: (3.58.1700.5) is Google
My primary question is UK hboot and MID. Phone is from Australia/Hong Kong/Singapore region, you S-OFF, you changed CID, you flashed google firmware+rom, and you flashed UK hboot?
Thoughts: wrong MID and hboot could be causing RUU and unlock to fail verification?

I am in the same boat i have tried everything i can think of and i cannot seem to get my phone to work. I have tried multiple RUU's with no luck i cant flash them and before i relocked my bootloader i tried different recoveries with no luck. Now when i try to flash a boot_signed.img it says signature failed. Hopefully someone will have a solution.

[Solved] Bricked my One?

Hello,
i'm reading here for some weeks and this forum helped me much so far. Now I made a bad mistake while flashing the latest firmware on my One and it seems that I have bricked it.
What have I done?
I used ARHD 5.1 GE on my One with an older firmware. Before that I was using ARHD 4.1. Data of my phone:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.55.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.21.3263.04
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 3.62.401.1
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0710000
(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4260mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: off
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-bb768ae1
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
I changed to SuperCID, before that I had VODAP102. Bootloader is relocked.
After flashing latest firmware, my sdcard got wiped. So I have no backups or any other data on my phone. The phone stops booting after the white screen with the "HTC" logo and shows a turquoise color with little stripes and nothing happens.
I tried to flash another firmware, as you can see in the phone's details. That worked, but changed nothing. I can't install a rom, because adb doesn't find my device, but fastboot does. I tried several HTC-drivers and cables and USB-slots. Nothing.
I read several How-To's but I got stuck with this. Even tried to install the 1.28.401.7 RUU, but that stops with Error 155. After first time that error occured I relocked my bootloader, but that didn't help. I can't push files to the phone, because adb doesn't work.
Now only one thing left: Asking you for help. I'm somewhat frustrated.

1- remove IMEI and s/n
2- install latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 (needed for 4.4 roms)
You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3- confirm adb working in TWRP now, and unlock using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914 or "revone -u"
(you don't need to relock if you're s-off)
4- push, sideload, or OTG a ROM and install
5- error 155 occurs due to hboot 1.55+, you'll need to downgrade to 1.44 to run RUU

no problem, IF you're gonna end up using RUU, you need to downgrade to this hboot: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/1-29-401-12_hboot_1-44-zip/
then go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip <- just in case the first one says "failed flush again"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and run the RUU, should work fine.

Thanks for that, but using RUU was only one way I thought of to get my phone working again, because adb push and sideload don't work. If the way you mentioned in your first post works, then I will be absolutely fine without using RUU. Otherwise I will try the RUU option.
It worked! Thanks for your help! :good:

follow my guide in my signature, there is a RUU.EXE available for CID: HTC__001 and MID: PN0710000 (so you can follow the RUU.EXE procedure)

Conver Htc One into Developer Edition

Hey guys
I've got a few questions here:
I want to ask if it is possible to convert my device into a Developer edition.
I want to set my device back to Stock so I have to use a RUU...Right?
I've already tried it but something had gone wrong.
I used this tutorial....but afterward I wasn't able to install the Ota-Update (4.4.2) (from 4.4 to 4.4.2)
My device is running on ARHD 52.0
Hboot 1.56
SuperCid
S-Off
Thanks in advance for your answers

Look, if your intention is to convert ur HTC One to a Dev. Edition, then you simply have to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
The RUU which you need to flash is:
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_brightstarus_wwe_1-29-1540-16-exe/
S-OFF is required, which you have already. However, you will keep a few things in mind:
1) Windows 7 must only be used. 8.1 is NOT supported
2) Depending on your phone, you may have to alter model and carrier id. Post your getvar all, for more assistance
3) Your HBOOT version will need a downgrade to 1.44. The method is mentioned in the guide
4) You cannot OTA update with a custom recovery. The guru reset rom and stock recovery are required for OTAs

What? That doesn't make any sense, if he flash a ruu his phone will be stock, no needs to flash a guru reset rom after....
+ he doesn't need to downgrade hboot to 1.44 if he use a ruu.zip instead of a ruu.exe like this one
so he will only need to change CID and MID (if required) before flashing the ruu.zip... simple as that.
To change CID:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
TO change MID to PN0712000 use this tool with custom recovery:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535365
then flash the ruu
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name_of_ruu>.zip
fastboot flash zip <name_of_ruu>.zip
fastboot reboot

[Q] Can't return to stock firmware

Currently S-OFF and UNLOCKED.
Just ran a 4.4.2 RUU via zip, rom is back to stock, but recovery isn't working, red triangle.
When I try to flash the firmware.zip, it returns
E:\Tools\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash zi
p firmware.zip
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes
sending 'zip' (42459 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.955s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 2.990s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I also tried extracting the boot.img and recovery.img and flashing them separately, but I still get the red triangle when trying to enter recovery.
Need to return my HTC One to 100% stock to fix the purple camera issue, tried everything I could find, please help!
(Warranty expires in a week)
An RUU.zip has to be run as follows, not from recovery
Make sure the RUU.zip is in your adb folder.
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. *You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. *When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:
fastboot reboot
PS the red triangle is stock recovery
(Power button + volume up to enter recovery ).

Post a fastboot getvar all minus imei no and serial no. Post links to recovery's you have tried and links to RUU'S. and also commands you have tried to flash recovery and RUU's
Why was you trying to flash a firmware.zip.
Also if your trying to return to full stock for warranty purpose, your phone needs to be locked not relocked and you must also remove tampered.

Here's a video: http://youtu.be/jUMIhA_mKE4

that video show's correct (stock) bootup and powerdown animations, but a (possibly) modded bootsplash.... that would be partition mmcblk0p13 and can't be flashed without S-Off
though an RUU should have taken care of that!!
PS: I say possibly, because maybe your version (HTC__621) is supposed to be like that.

I ran the RUU via zip not exe, maybe that's the issue? I think I'll have to S-OFF again to fix it...
And the hboot part? Should I upgrade it to a matching version for a valid warranty?

doesn't matter if it was a ruu.zip or ruu.exe both would/should change the bootsplash... can you check the zip if it has "splash1.nb0" that would be the bootsplash.
ruu (zip or exe) contain everything so hboot and bootsplash should already by stock.
maybe it's just supposed to be that way for you??

Checked the RUU zip and it doesn't have the bootsplash, a simplified version of RUU I guess...
So I decided to run a RUU exe, which should be more complete and thorough, 100% back to stock.
But since I couldn't S-ON yesterday, I downgraded my hboot from 1.56 to 1.44 (I thought upgrading it back to 1.56 would be simple).
Now I can't get S-OFF to run the RUU exe(can't use revone because it doesn't work with my version of something),
and some things don't match when I try to run it with S-ON.
I can't find any newer version of RUU or the latest hboot for download.
Overall, I ****ed up pretty bad and I think I'm about to send it back regardless of warranty...
Returning to stock is a lot harder than I thought, all this time put in to fix the purple camera thing...
playpig, i have the exact same fone as you and i also want to unroot my fone. can you please tell me where you found the stock recovery and how u unrooted your fone? thanks in advance

Ah.. Another thing that I have noticed is that in twrp the driver isn't installed by windows.. In "device management" I see a "one" device with a yellow exclamation (I've installed htc sync) .. Windows can't find any compatible driver in my PC.. if i look into hardware details, this is the id:

in x64 section .. i don't know if i done it well but now when i'm in twrp windows recognize phone, seen as "Android Phone - Android Composite ADB inteface" without the exclamation mark and if I do "adb devices" in prompt it sees my device (seen as it's serial number) and near it "recovery"..
P.S. Why every time the phone is rebooted it relock the bootloader automatically and I have to unlock again to access the recovery?

You need to flash a firmware package, or at very least a stock recovery. I have searched all over the net but I can't find any thing not even an OTA.zip
I think your version main would be 5.12.901.3 since that appears to be the latest version with hboot 1.57. But there simply aren't any files for that.
Best suggestion I have for now is, as your able to unlock. Unlock the bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and flash an unbranded stock recovery this one maybe https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717070745
Then use that to do a factory reset. Reboot and see if its locked. If it is unlock again with
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Check to see if problem is resolved.

But, every time that I unlock bootloader the phone automatically goes in recovery, so I can't type the second command "fastboot erase cache", because if I reboot again in bootloader is again relocked.. :/

But how can you boot a custom rom with a relocked bootloader? Are you able to unlock flash a rom then boot to Android? Or does it relock when you reboot after flashing the rom?

But when I unlock bootloader and the phone reboots directly in recovery, in that session, while I'm in recovery, they bootloader isn't unlocked?
I've never tried to flash a rom because adb sideload or adb push seems that don't work..

It must be unlocked otherwise the custom recovery wouldn't load. So you could push and install a rom, but after its installed the rom you will need to reboot. If the bootloader locks it won't boot the custom rom.
You could also try to dd (direct dump) a stock recovery while your in custom recovery. Maybe that would help?

Stuck on Bootloader and can't access recovery.

Hi
I'm running XENON HD and tried to do an OTA upgrade. When I came back to my phone, it was in the bootloader screen. After every reboot, it goes there.
This wouldn't normally be a problem except that my volume keys are damaged and I can't select any option from the bootloader screen.
I tried a #fastboot boot twrp.img but it doesn't reboot the phone.
Is there any way I can access recovery another way? I did a backup (on the sd card ) so I really just need to get into recovery.
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.61.0000
Any help/ideas is appreciated.
Thanks!

fastboot boot twrp.img was only working on hboot 1.44 back in 2013, this command was disabled with 1.54 and all newer hboot.
There is no command to make your phone reboot in recovery from the bootloader so i'm afraid you will not be able to go back in recovery. If at least your phone is in bootloader mode with "fastboot usb" in red you can relock your BL and restore using a RUU. Once the ruu is flashed the phone will reboot to the OS by itself.

Hi alray.
I downloaded what i thought was the right RUU but I am getting an error message saying it can't verify the signature.
How can I tell which RUU I should use? I don't care what goes on it as I will be unlocking the bootloader again and putting back on a custom rom.
Thanks
./fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
sending 'zip' (1463809 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

Thanks for the offer. Don't have kik unfortunately.
Current state I'm in is that I have relocked my phone, but the version_main is blank.
flashing from zip doesn't work in RUU.
I tried to flash the recovery again but keep getting the signature failed message

Your trying to do a HTC OTA Update?
pardon me for stealing the thread. In a related issue.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-tmobile/development/recent-zip-ruu-t-mo-t3662241
which RUU or rom to install?

Yes zip version will work even if your version-main is blank, since you don't know your version-main, use the latest ruu for your cid/mid. If the latest version ruu isn't available in the ruu collection thread, you'll probably have to download it from easy-firmware.com or a similar website.

you can't flash the recovery partition when the BL is locked. The BL must be locked to flash the ruu.

At least I never could. If I can I could have solved this ages ago

crap crap crap.
I just tried to unlock the bootloader again. Remember when I said the volume keys were damaged? I should have been more specific.. The phone fell and damaged the volume up key and it is pressed in. This doesn't allow me to use the power button to select. So I can't unlock the bootloader now :\ (unless I can give it a default acceptance?)
So I think my only options are to put on the stock and leave it as is
Or open the phone up so the case isn't pressing on the volume key.
This was the RUU I tried. It seems to be the latest and the right version.

can anyone confirm?
Thanks

Update:
The data too large message was when I used the latest HTC fastboot Linux version.
I switched to Windows and it worked. Back at stock.

Thanks for the tip but it didn't work.
It was unable to get temporary root access.
I tried iRoot and towelroot but they also failed.
Guess I'm stuck
