Hi guys,
I converted my GSM HTC one (international) to the google play edition following the instructions in the official thread (4.4.2). I used CWM to root and moonshine for S-Off. I installed the stock (non rooted) version.
The phone boots normally and everything seems to work, except that recovery doesn't work anymore. (This is the screen i get)
Is this because I installed a non rooted version?
Basically after this conversion I don't really need root anymore, all I wanted is google play edition, I do not have further need to run apps that require root. (and I would like to receive future ota's). If all goes well I'll never see the fastboot menu again, but even though I'm done modding it seems risky to leave the recovery non working. Any suggestions?
That's no special
You only must flash a recovery with fastboot again
You flashed a RUU this include the system, the Hboot and the revocery. On your picture you see the Stock recovery of Vanilla Android

Ok, thanks for the info. But why doesn't the stock recovery work anymore then? Why is this normal?
Which recovery should I flash next?
Just flash the latest TWRP 2.3.6.4

Hi Guys,
I recently did the full conversion to GE using the RUU, everything went fine, no error appeared during the conversion, the device is working fine...
Except i can't access the recovery.
I reboot into the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader and then launch the recovery from there. The device is rebooting into recovery but after a while it shows the android logo with a red error triangle.
Any clue ? Can i flash the recovery considering i already made a full conversion ?
The device is S-OFF and Bootloader is in "RELOCKED" state.
Thanks !
Need to unlock your bootloader and flash a new custom recovery

Sounds like you can access the (stock) recovery.
Off topic a little but I don't get why anybody would convert a Sense phone to stock Android ... It's lacking in so many areas and custom ROMs give you everything and more. Surely it isn't just for updates from Google?
Hi there!
I've just switched over from iPhone to android and want to root my HTC One. But before I do that, I would first like to make a backup of the stock ROM and stock recovery (if I want to go back to stock later because of service, selling the device and so on).
When i searched the web i found this guide. The guide mentioned that you could boot TWRP through "fastboot boot recovery.img" without flashing the recovery and then make a nandroid backup of the entire stock system (with the recovery included).
But when i tried doing it through fastboot the boot loader frooze and i had to restart the phone. How do i make a backup of the stock ROM and recovery if i can't do it like described in the guide?
I know you should be able to install an RUU if you wan't to go back to stock but i run a carrier branded phone with a CID that has no available RUU's...
I currently run Stock HTC Sense ROM and recovery with a unlocked bootloader through htcdev.com.
So how do i make a backup of the stock recovery and ROM, I would really appreciate all possible answers and theories!
Thanks for the reply!
You can install TWRP and backup your stock ROM, and for the recovery what you can do is download an OTA update from somewhere around here on the forums, extract it and you will find the stock recovery inside it and you can flash it easily the same way you flash TWRP using fastboot but what I dont know is if you have to find an OTA for your carrier branded phone or the recovery isn't affected by carriers, I hope someone can answer this question!

Yes i also wonder if you have to find a specific OTA for your specific phone or if the recovery is "universal" for all different versions. My CID is H3G_G04 which seems to be a specific version for the operator three (3). I have not been able to find any RUU's or OTA's for that specific CID.
It would be awesome if anybody could answer this!
Thank you

If it's a new phone and has hboot 1.54 then you can't boot into recovery through fastboot as HTC have blocked this. You will have to flash recovery and then do your backups. There are plenty of sources around for the stock recovery if you require it later.

Is there any other way to extract a recovery from my phone? I can not find any RUU's or OTA's for my specific CID. It's almost like it didn't exist...

Recovery seems to be universal. Someone posted that they used this stock recovery to restore back to stock and get an OTA:

Hello guys, I need an help! I have reinstalled a 4.4.2 stock ROM on my phone, because I had some problems with ARHD 53.0, and decided to return stock waiting for 63.0. Anyways, I am curious about a thing. I have TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed on my phone, last firmware (4.19.401.11), stock kernel, rooted, last hboot, no fastboot option activated and, when I try to flash the stock recovery of 4.19.401.11, it always fails; it doesnt open but shows the warning red sign screen. Instead, I can install TWRP recovery without any problems. What is the reason for this? I always erase cache from fastboot before and after recovery flashing. thanks to everyone!

So the normal HTC stock recovery cant be used for flashing, etc? just for the OTA? Was just curious about, dont want to keep stock recovery but wondered about it
You need a custom recovery to flash any roms. Stock recovery is for OTA's. If you aren't worried about them I'd leave the custom recovery on

Hi,
I just got a brand new HTC One 7 (WWE, CID E_11) after my last one died. Im trying to root it and install a custom recovery to install arhd or insertcoin. I used htc one toolkit for this. Everything seemed to work ok, but after booting the installed rom (ARHD or insertcoin) the phone reboots after i see the login screen. I somehow managed to reinstall my phone again yesterday, as it was a complete (soft) brick.
I used this to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759000
Now does anyone know why I get a reboot loop? Does anyone know if i installed this stock rom if I get the normal OTA updates again? And do i need to relock the bootloader for this? I would really like to install stock roms again but I'm a little anxious after yesterday. (I've installed custom roms since the old HD2/HTC desire, and also on my old HTC One M7, never had any problems, I think it has to do with the Hboot).
Hoping to hear from you guys,
best wishes,
Olaf

Flash the stock firmware 5.11.401.10! I think your firmware is mismatched.
By flashing the firmware after installing the Rom I might fix the bootloop? Or is the stock firmware necesarry to go back to stock? Sorry bit confused, thanks for your response btw

Flashing the firmware might fix the boot-loop, since you flashed the stock rom! If it does stop the boot-loops, you can re-install TWRP or CWM to get the custom recovery.

when using a sense custom rom you need to make sure you use twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery, do not use the toolkits, most of the time they are out of date and not updated, this would explain the bootloops, take the time to learn how to use adb and fastboot, you'll never look back.
nothing to do with the firmware and no need to flash it, if your firmware was knackered, you would have a hard brick.

First of all thanks for the quick response. I know how to use adb and fastboot (at least I think).
If i would (in this order) do the following, would that be correct?:
unlock using htdev
Flash twrp 2.6.3.3 using fastboot command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (naming twrp 2.6.3.3.img = recovery.img)
reboot bootloader
Flash SuperSU.zip in TWRP
reboot twrp
flash custom rom (ARHD).
The thing is it isn't a normal bootloop (which normally would come with the HTC logo all the time)
It reboots when I try to setup the phone (in the setup menu). Restoring the phone with the link in the OP, ive recoverd my phone, but I would still love to use custom roms again.

no need to flash super user it will be included in the rom you flash

It seems that insertcoin had a problem in it's installer:
http://insertcoin-roms.org/category/devices/one_m7/one_sense6/
the changelog says: Fixed SuperSU install (might solve the sudden reboot issue in SetupWizard)
It left me without any rom to install, so i had to sideload ARHD, which it didnt want to install via sideload... The next step I isntalled stock again, which I'm using right now.. but I miss xposed framework and other tweaks too much..
I'm gonna try to unlock it again this afternoon and install insertcoin again, but this time ill make a backup first. Does installing the recovery wipe anything?

no it doesn't wipe anything, but you can use xposed and its tweaks on stock rom, you just need to root first, just install TWRP, enter recovery and again upon exit it will offer to root stock rom for you.
Hi all,
So let me explain. I was given a HTC One for repair and the person just told me that her child did something wrong in the settings and the phone didn't boot anymore. The phone was on an older stock ROM and didn't get past the HTC One logo. Something was corrupted because the startup sound was cutting off before it had played like it should.
anyways: the phone is S-ON and I have unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. I can install CWM, CWM Touch and TWRP but can't install any Sense rom because of the antique HBoot 1.56. I can however boot into CM 10.2.1 stable with no problems and ARHD 9.4 but with nou touch. On both ROMs firewather and rumrunner fail (usb debugging is on and root also for adb and apps).
Possible fixes I think off:
-Install an older ARHD version like 42 or 61 or 62 that is compitable with my firmware (but can't find them anywhere);
-install an insecure kernel compatible with CM10.2 (can't find one);
-Somehow just revert back to a Sense rom, wich I can't.
I just want S-off but every s-off tool fails. Is there another way to instal RUU exe or ZIP without S-OFF or at least upgrade the damn antique radio image that belongs in a museum ?
Thanks in advance

Hboot 1.56 is not that old the current is 1.57! You can install RUU being S-ON the RUU must be the same or higher version, signed and the bootloader has to be locked/relocked. For Sense ROMs you might try TWRP 2.6.3.3 it seems to work best. ARHD 81 should work with your phone you have to wipe in Aroma before you install it.
I couldn't get ARHD 81 to work, but if someone is in the same situation here is what I did:
1) Relock your bootloader with this command:
fastboot oem lock
2) download this signed radio file : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=file-thanks&fid=23622183712460395&mid=70&download_id=t0kvkiiupbv0r5gakftasij7d5&tid=1412801244&hc=731cbdd91c39e4104b17bb47e6236fd9614838fa88b158009a1006be6b2ec5ea
3) Place the file in the same platform-tools directory for ease of use and insert this command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
4) Once the phone reboots into a black HTC screen enter:
fastboot flash zip <name_of_the_file_here_without_quotes>
5) Normally it should succeed and tell you to immediatly flush, if it fails reattempt to flash the zip and it will succeed.
6) Download your prefered Recovery, mine is CWM but TWRP is even better sometimes and enter:
fastboot reboot-bootloader and then fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
6B) EDIT: to be able to flash a recovery IMG with S-On you need to unlock you bootloader again.
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlocktoken_bin or whatever your unlocktoken is called
Then accept the security warning on your phone with the volume keys and power key.
7) Once succeed enter recovery and flash Maximus HD
8) Once done please enter bootloader again by pressing vol- + power or bij selecting advanced, reboot bootloader in recovery.
9) Because we're S-On, we need to manually flash boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img and if you get bootloops fastboot erase cache
Once this is done you should be able to boot into the rom and everything should work. Flashing this has upgraded my hboot to 1.57. Now I will report if I succeed to get S-off.
Well I couldn't find an RUU that was signed and for my version. Also I don't know why but I couldn't get ARHD to work. Maybe I need s-off or another recovery but even with elemental X it didn't boot.

Okay so what I want to suggest you do is for starters go in unlock the bootloader as re locking it before doing anything is pointless when once everything is fixed is when you'd need to do it. Also I recommend that you install the custom recovery first and flash the rom from there rather than trying to flash it using fastboot as then at least we can get a standard recovery message which may be easier to find an answer for, I recommend using the very latest twrp recovery from their site as that should be able to flash all roms but make sure you install a stock sense 6 rom as the phone needs to be on the latest update with the kk radios and obviously that means having an hboot of 1.57 which would allow you to install custom roms that are running on kk otherwise you'll have issues and if you've followed what I suggest and it doesn't work a logcat and even a video of what is actually happening will help a lot to see what's going on but first things first is make sure that phone is on the latest hboot and the latest radio.
Also what version of phone is it? is it a m7ul? I'll send you an ruu link if I know what version we're looking at

Thanks for the info and help.
The phone is allready been returned to the owner, it was just a repair job because the phone was out of waranty and nobody in this town could fix it. in fact, some idiot that didn't know what he was doing flashed the wrong hboot version (other phone/model) on it somehow and it was a mess.
I did manage to repair it trough an RUU I found I think or I did install a custom sense 6 rom... I don' remember exactly but it had a mismatching hboot version that's all I remember
