Hi,
First, I'm an idiot.
I tried to manually apply the 4.3 OTA by:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then flashed the firmware.zip from the OTA:
flash zip firmware.ota
Got a softbrick.
Tried wiping cache and data, wont boot at all.
HBoot updated to 1.55 and firmware rev appears as 3.62.401.1
I'm S-ON with locked bootloader.
Can't apply earlier RUU.
Is there any way you can think of to restore my phone without unlocking it through htcdev.com and flashing a custom recovery?
Thanks,
flash a 4.3 rom through recovery.
i guess you only flashed the firmware.zip and not the whole ota? 4.2.2 roms do not work for me with this firmware.zip
edit: didn't see your locked. i guess there's no way then.

1- Question: why did you manually flash the OTA, if you're still locked and on stock??????????
2- after "fastboot oem rebootRUU", did "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" TWICE?? you know that usually the first time it reports as "FAILED, push image again immediately" (or something like that).

Hi,
1. It's already established I am an IDIOT. It was even the first line of my post
2. Yes, I have flashed it twice. Stuck at black screen after boot. No ADB. Connecting to the PC shows MTP driver as showing up but failing to install.

You're not an idiot, take it easy but maybe next time do some more reading before doing something you're not comfortable with.
At least you flashed it twice, so good chance it updated the firmware correctly, but which version of
1- Windows are you on? (hopefully Win 7)
2- and HTC Drivers? (latest are "HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe" AFAIK)
3- you on stock or custom recovery?
3b-- if stock, is the OTA file still on your phone?
4- do you have an OTG cable?

Thanks for your help.
Im running Win7 with latest HTC drivers, stock recovery. I bit the bullet and unlocked the bootloader.
The OTA file is not on the phone, but I have an OTG cable.
Fastboot and ADB are installed and working.
P.S.
I have the decrypted 1.29.401.16 zip available.
Tried flashing the zip to the phone, got an error.
Thanks again,

OK so fastboot and adb are working :good::good:
Now let's slow down a bit, and let us what your goal is. (ie what ROM do you want to run, ROOT, and anything else of importance).

Obviously there is no ADB since the ROM doesnt boot, but fastboot works fine.
For now, I would like to get back to stock 4.2.2 (2.24.401.8) or even 4.3 (3.62.401.1) if possible.
The MID is PN0710000 and CID is HTC__102
Thanks
you should have manually flashed ota via stock recovery,need to be s-off as well

IMHO, if you are comfortably doing it
get http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
then use http://rumrunner.us/ to get s-off (there's a package for 3.62.401.1), then use a full RUU (exe) to go back to stock and get the OTAs.
Thanks, That's exactly what im doing.

Any updates mate?
Sorry, ofcourse.
Flashed Guru Reset boots and works fine.
I didnt manage to S-OFF tho.
Followed all instructions except disabling lockscreen which is impossible with this fw.
Win7 x64 SP1. Firewall and AV disabled.
Stuck with the error message: "FATAL: F**k it" after the second boot into bootloader (test3).
Basically the ROM should be stock and no real reason to re-flash stock via RUU, but it seems somewhat less smooth than 4.2.2, and I have a FC from TuneIn Radio the moment I plug it into the original car dock.
So I thought id start again fresh.
I suppose I'll flash a different Sense based ROM and try to S-OFF again.

You'll have to be on a ROM that's compatible with your firmware version (which is now 3.6xxxx). Here are a few things to check
1- Are you on Win7, it could work on Win 8 maybe 8.1 but only haphazardly
2- Did you update drivers to "HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe"
3- uninstalled HTC Sync
3- did you update adb sdk to latest
4- disable antivirus & firewall & windows defender, etc.
5- on the phone:
----- disable any lockscreen password, pin, etc (so the password or pin or face recognition, not the actual lockscreen)
----- enable USB debugging
----- disable SETTINGS -> POWER -> Fast boot
copy/paste command prompt of rummrunner for us to see

Let me be honest, I have never tried (at least not yet ) rumrunner (I got S-Off with revone), but I did go through rumrunner thread, and the only two things I can think of, seeing your output:
Code:
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
FATAL: **** it
that would be caused by the fastboot.exe (maybe the latest version is not the best )
Code:
...................
that's usually caused by a firewall or something else interfering with the internet connection.
I can't remember where I got the drivers from, but uploaded them for you:
HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe 15.1 MB
https://mega.co.nz/#!TAcGAJ7L!YdWM4AIji95b1ow8kVgagggOx5Yh7csRN5G0KJaCo6w
or you could, uninstall HTC xxxxxx, then download and install the latest HTC Sync Manager (from HTC web site), and then just uninstall the sync manager and keep drivers.
If all that doesn't work, I would give the Ubuntu Live CD/USB a try.

As I've seen rumrunner has it's own fastboot.exe so I doubt it's that. There's also no firewall or anything, fastboot and adb work just fine on their own.
I've also S-OFF using revone, but later the emmc chip died, so I sent it for repair. Got it back with 1.54 hboot.
I'll give the Live CD a try later when I get the chance.
Okay so i tried to install a custom rom, but it failed, now when ever i execute adb reboot-boatloader the device goes into the boatloader but i can't use adb/fastboot as it doesn't recognize the device. I have windows 8, and it seems windows doesn't find the driver, but when I boot the phone normaly, i can access it using adb (but not fastboot). Any ideas ?
I still can execute the recovery option in the boot loader, but i have nor Zip file to install. I also changed the cid, so the stock rom won't flash.
Advice appreciated

I haven't use Windows 8, but so far I don't have any problem with Windows 7. I assume have already install the HTC driver. If not, you can install the HTC syn which comes with the driver.

Yes, I already installed the HTC drivers (htc sync +d rivers, then uninstalled htc sync, as it get's annoying while plugin on off of the phone)
My biggest problem is that, now fastboot is not running in bootloader mode, so I can't even flash an image or change back the settings i did.
(And of course seems like in bootloader mode, that windows can't find the phone).
So my Idea would be to flash a Zip.rom, like the over the air updates using the recovery option. It's just that i changed the CID to GOOGLE001. :/

Jep, so what i do is, i power the phone on, it boots into stock android --> adb devices works and retunrs my phonenumber (also the windwos driver is fine while in stock android)
i do adb reboot-bootloader and it starts into the bootloader (fastboot is turned off in the settings)
and then I'm stuck, Windows can't find the phone (get a bunch of errors with unsopoorted usb device)
also adb devices and fastboot devices is not working, so i tried to execute different commands like flashing or oem unlock,
but all i get is the message<waiting on device>

Anyway, I would do the RUU. restore your phone and try again with a good custom ROM. Did you check MD5 with the rom you download? You still can connect your phone with ADB. That mean your phone is not brick yet. : )

windows 8.1 will not work on hboot below 1.54.000 (the only 1.54 that works is from the new GPE 4.4 update).
your going to need access to a windows 7 PC long enough to update your hboot to 1.55 to be able to use fastboot with your phone again. This usually only happens while flashing a RUU not A Rom. Flashing a rom will not affect your version of hboot

You are right, i can confirm hboot 1.54.0000 - i was flashing the RUU to convert my HTC ONE toa Google Edition.
So all I need is a windows 7 or lower pc to get fastboot running again?
That's good news, I would have searched for ages.
Yeah it's frustrating I know
If you use the 1.54.000 from the 4.4 GPe update it works also

Hi,
I had unlocked boot loader through HTCdev on latest GB stock ROM. So, obviously I was S-ON.
Meanwhile, I tried many ROMs but manually flashing boot image in hastboot.
I had following status of last running mobile when I tried to get S-OFF
Bootloader status: unlocked
S-ON
HBOOT 2.00.0000
Recovery: CWM
ROM: CynovivoX (JB 4.1.2)
Yesterday, I tried to get S-off by downgrading as per following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705913
There were lots of error while script was running, but one I remember was related to goldcard.
While running RUU, It goes well till I find something Error 131, Customer ID related and than exit.
After trying script and RUU many times, my status is
Bootloader status: Relocked
S-ON
HBOOT 2.00.0000
Recovery: ? (can't see or access anymore)
ROM: -
when running fastboot devices, my device is appearing
but in adb devices, nothing there
So, is there still any possibility to recover from this bricked state?
Desperately looking for expert help as I am not developer but somehow....tried this thinking would not be that difficult business....so help.
Try running the latest RUU and restarting everything over. Make sure to pick the right RUU for your region. The latest build number should be 4.14.XXXXX...
Also, in fastboot, your device isn't supposed to be visible with command of adb devices.
Another thing u could try is to unlock the bootloader again and see if u can access recovery again. Adb works in recovery
Sent from the head of the Hammer
If you can get into fastboot but don't have a recovery installed, can't you just flash a new recovery? E.g. grab clockworkmod, connect your phone to your computer via usb and:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img
(obviously replace above code with actual name of .img file)
err this might be stupid, but click on bootloader > recovery.
Looks like you are already in a sub menu when you boot the bootloader.
The error while downgrading is related to you not relocking your phone before downgrading. Always relock before downgrading with an RUU.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Thanks all guys.
But problem fixed. I have unlocked the bootloader again through htcdev and it worked.
Now let me share issue for all other nondevelopers like me who may also face such issue...
runme script is suppose to push some files through adb commands and then reboot to fastboot mode to lock bootloader.
I had adb drivers installed as I got prompt from statusbar.
However still, while running downgrade script (runme), phone was not detected in adb mode and hence no file was pushed to phone. After reboot, phone detected in fastboot and OEM successfully relocked.
I am really surprised why device not found error not appeared and script not stopped. Later I came to know this by running the script without connecting phone and it ran with asking Q&A with found device, and also reading log file.
Then I ran RUU who wiped everything.
So, my device left without any ROM and with OEM locked. I can't access or install recover, ROM etc and RUU was having goldcard error.
Somehow tried to unlock again through token provided by HTCDev earlier (around 2 years back).
And thing become normal and in my control.
My advise: always check "adb devices" before running the script as I found script is misleading of found device and finally locking device. And if such thing happen, easiest one is to get in unlocked from HTCDev and restart whole process.

From what I'm reading, I'm getting a much clearer image of what happened. I believe your problem to be just driver errors...
The script itself is supposed to run regardless of whether phone is properly connected with proper drivers and whatnot. After all, it's just a set of commands in cmd.
But seeing as you ONLY got Error 131, you could have solved this by simply creating a goldcard.

Phone was connected in adb mode. This I can say by checking notifications in android and statusbar prompt in windows 7. While running script only, something got wrong getting adb mode not detected.
Anyway, Goldcard was also in my next line of action, but not sure even after creating Goldcard, I may stuck as version-main was not downgraded to 2. However, tried and got resolved with much simpler effort of unlocking through htcdev.
May be, I am also not that competent to understand developing world and only good enough to simply flash ROMs and updates as per instructions.
Anyway, thanks.
Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.
Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

yes window 8 will be a problem till you get another hboot above 1.44/1.54
hboot 1.55 has no problem on windows 8 ( I use windows 8.1)

Downloaded fastboot, unzipped in c:
Drivers from that link are classed as malware. Trying to find earlier drivers/other mirror.
Find attachment.
Still looking for drivers. Apparently "every" browser blocks exe-files from being downloaded. Changed settings, managed to download it, run as admin. No response.

My bad. Managed to run it, but then it crashes straight away. Can that have anything to do with the driver not installed?

great your about done ...your phone will be android 4.3 when it finishes
don't take any updates to the OS
cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!
Really, thanks so much clsA! You made me a very happy person! :victory:

Hi all, I have a tricky problem, I converted my M7 to GPE following this thread "[RUU] Google Edition Conversion. 5.0.1 RUU Zip pre-rooted/non-rooted + firmware ". All went fine but in the end the GPE lacks some stuff that I really like on Stock. Long story short I wanted to go back to stock, so I followed the part in the thread refffering to GPE => Stock
Prerequsites:
S-off
1.44 HBoot
RUU for your device (I used )
Ok I thought reversing since I had S-off would be a simple affair and maybe I took a misstep along the way but I got it done.
Here's what worked FOR ME.
1) set CID to superCID
2) install the 1.44 Hboot in RUU mode (thanks SneakyGhost) http://d-h.st/qfc
3) install the RUU for your phone/carrier

I just forgot before the last fastboot reboot to change the CID from 11111111 to my cid.
I flashed the 7.19.401.2-FULL_STOCK_WIPE.zip using 1.44 Hboot. Now it is stuck at the HTC logo afterwards and keeps rebooting, and ends up in stock recovery the phone with the red triangle and exclamation sign.
I did a factory reset from fastboot and now i get the phone with the red triangle. which means it is in the stock recovery but something is wrong. I can manage it to put it in fastboot, but that is all.
Windows each time I connect the phone is no longer recognizing the device so adb fails (I assume because it is the wrong CID). It just says waiting for device and nothing happens further.
How do I change the CID if I cannot connect the device? Tricky ... I tried several adb drivers (I use win 8.1) like "minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.2_setup" and "Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72" . The best I got is a driver installed and showing in device manager but with message " device cannot start. (Code 10)".
Any help is really appreciated.
Best regards

If you have flashed hboot 1.44 to your device then you'll need to get your hands on a windows 7 PC, ubuntu or Mac. Hboot 1.44 won't work with win8. Once done post the output of "fastboot getvar all"

Thanky you for your quick reply, I suppose it needs to be a real ubuntu machine, cannot use a vmware machine

It will not work in a vm config but will work fine in live mode (you can use Ubuntu without installing it via a live usb or live cd option)
Cool man, this one worked, I managed to change the CID back to the original. I have flashed then, the recovery to twrp and installed the following Guru Reset file "Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip". Is a bit old but nothing that OTA will not solve. Thanks again! It's updating already!
