[Q] HELP HTC One M7

I am a noob and tried to sim unlock my HTC one from Sprint and really messed things up, I erased the OS and no longer have TWRP access.
Let me start from the beginning, I have an HTC One (M7) by Sprint. I wanted to sim unlock it so I could use it with another carrier. I successfully unlocked the boot loader through htcdev. I then successfully rooted the device. Then I was stuck on trying to unlock the sim. I think I was unsuccessful because I had upgraded to Android 4.3, but not sure.
To make a long story short I kept messing with it and accidentally erased my OS while trying to use rumrunner. I had access to TWRP, which I had installed earlier, but as of today I no longer have access to TWRP, it just does not load anymore. I can still load into the boot loader usb section of my phone that’s about it.
I also relocked the boot loader because I read somewhere in another forum that I was supposed to do so.
So as of now my HTC one is Bootloader locked, S-ON, HBOOT 1.55.
ADB won’t recognize my HTC at all, I have another HTC (Different model) and ADB recognizes it so I know I have the drivers installed correctly, but it wont read the HTC One.
I tried using fastboot to flash a new ROM, and TWRP recovery but no luck, it stops at bootloader (Signature verify fail). So I can’t even push anything to the phone.
Can anyone please help? If you need anymore info please let me know.

You have to unlock the bootloader again, flash twrp recovery then sideload a rom.

+1 on the unlock
and get the recovery specifically for SPRINT, it's different than the GSM HTC One, you'll also have to flash a "close to stock" ROM to be able to use the SIM unlock code. no need to be locked!
and remember to get a close-to-stock ROM for SPRINT!!!

[Q] Rooting Gone Bad on HTC One-Sprint

Hi all,
I've been attempting to and failing for the last few days to get a custom ROM installed on My HTC one from Sprint. About an hour ago, I realized what the problem was but unfortunately have found no way of fixing this.
So far, I have unlocked the phone using the instructions from the HTCDev site as well as installed CWM/ TWRP Bootloaders and rooted with SU installed. I wiped all of the information off of the phone and as far as I know, the original OS is no longer available. I am able to access recovery and bootloader mode no problem and can install ROM's but they do not work fully as prior to rooting, I did not turn S-Off. It is currently on and I am stuck on how exactly to proceed.
Ideally, I would like for some way to be able to turn S-off, however, because I cannot access the operating system, I have no way of running rumrunner to get it done. At best, I can turn the phone on for about 2.5 minutes before it reboots and repeats the process. Added to that, whenever I unlock the screen, only the HTC logo shows up, there's no way to access anything else. I am able to copy files to storage during that time though.
Alternatively, I would like to return it to it's original state, but trying that has failed on multiple occasions. All of the guides that I have seen to return to stock require that you either have access to the operating system (without the reboot) or have S-Off, none of which I have.
Also, during the time that the OS loads, adb does not recognize the device. Its recognized in bootloader mode and Hboot, just not during 'regular' operation.
I would appreciate any assistance that could be provided as I really need to get this phone working.
Thanks! :good:

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Don't know why it never showed up in my search results though. Just gotta get this phone unlocked for GSM now.

Another problem
So I finally got my HTC one from sprint unlocked but I ran into another problem. Whenever I insert a GSM sim into the phone, I cannot get any signal. An 'x' is shown over my signal bar. Have already flashed the old version of the radio but I still get the same result. Currently running viper rom 5.7. Bootloader is unlocked, S-off and rooted.
Any idea what else I can do? Got the PN 072 version if that helps
BTW, I am using a Domestic GSM sim

I REALLY don't get why people buy a CDMA phone to use on GSM networks.... That said this is a known issue if you're running KitKat. No solution last I checked.

Main reason I got it was cause it seemed like there was a GSM radio in the CDMA version and I travel quite often out of state. Being able to use it locally would simply be a huge bonus. Will try downgrading to 4.3 or 4.1 to see if there's any change.

kitkat bricked internal storage (0 mb)

i need your help, just got an htc one sprint for 90 bucks, i live abroad the US so i was thinking that i can use this phone without any problems as i have been doing with the verizon's phones with the global roaming. But with this when i put the sim card i got the invalid sim card etc, and i was looking the way to unlock it but spent almost all day and it seems that the version running kitkat and with hboot 1.57 can't get downgraded in order tu unlock the sim for use in my country, tired i can't remember what i did wrong that i just have now a bricked phone that can't get the internal storage, can't flash a zip even on sideload cuz i got errors, couldn't get the s off even using the firewater method with a custom rum.
I remember that i used an CM11 Nightless if i am not wrong but when i tried to restore it i got the 0 storage storage. Reading on different pages i just see the restore to the jelly bean version but kitkat i coulnd't get nothing. I am not so noob i had rooted even a Pantech Burst but this is a pain in the ass for me.
So i want to know if i have a brick or if this phone can be saved.
At least i can get to recovery when i unlock the bootloader but of course i can't get storage, tried with cwm and the other one
What i am worried about is that thing of security warning when i relocked the bootloader
Please help :crying:

You probably need to run a RUU to reset your phone. Here is 5.03.651.3 you can use this if your OS is the same or lower since you are still S-ON. On your sim unlock issue, depending if the imei is clear you can contact Sprint for the unlock code via their support site.

I have already tried that but i had the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect, i downloaded the first one not the decrypted. Using both versions of windows 7 and 8 32-64 bits, happens the same problem
and for call Sprint i am in Panama, central america and i don't think that they will provide me the unlock code if the phone even is not mine at all it still with the name of the girl who sold me the one

Try to run the firmware 5.03.651.3 just download it, rename to firmware.zip and place in your adb/fastboot folder. Here are the steps for flashing firmware. Since you are S-ON make sure your bootloader is locked/relocked.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB type in the command window:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Then:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

If the firmware flashes successfully, then I would try the RUU again.

Finally i made it came back but i still with the problem of the sim card, reading around the web it seems that with the hboot 1.57 is not yet possible the roaming as was possible with others like 1.56 or less, and i don't wanna have that pain again of what happens this weekend

Carrier Unlocking HTC One M7 Rogers

Been fiddling with this all day. HTC One M7 from Rogers needs to work with other carriers. Bricked itself a year ago during a system update, put SlimRom 4.4 on it and that's been fine until now. I get asked for an unlock code when I put in the new SIM, I bought one and it won't accept it (Phone has been rooted and reflashed, assuming this is why).
I backed everything up. ADB and such is working. I have an Android 4.4 Rogers RUU that I am assuming will let me unlock the SIM once installed. Also assuming S-Off required to install RUU, and attempting to get S-Off. I tried installing Sunshine (by pushing the APK) and Sunshine opens but says I need a more stock-like ROM for it to work. I'm okay with the $25 or whatever it costs, if it works. I installed htc1guru's Rogers nandroid backup in hopes of it being stock enough for Sunshine or a SIM Unlock. Touch Screen no longer works. I can get an OTG Cable tomorrow and attempt to SIM Unlock or Sunshine, if that is the problem.
Am I doing this right?

Can you please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno before posting). Your touchscreen issue is for sure caused by flashing a guru reset version way much older than your firmware version (btw what was the guru reset version used)?

Verizon

I have bought 3 years ago A HTC One M7 in the USA from Verizon. I worked in the States for a year and returned to the Netherlands. I cancelled my mobile contract with Verizon and asked them to unlock the M7 because I wanted to use the phone in NL with a local mobile provider. This worked partially. I could call with the phone but connecting to internet was only possible at very low speed. Also app updates did not work.
I contacted a local dude from a local Android forum who presented himself as an Android M7 guru. He was prepared to help me to load a complete fresh European RUU on the phone. I followed his instuctions precisely and this went initially smoothly. Changing VID, CID and whatever all through ADB. The final step however was installing the ruu and after wiping the phone content it was ready to install. And then the device was not recognized anymore by ADB. He also forgot to instruct me to install TWRP as a first step. So, I donot have TWRP.
Now the phone is bricked and here are the symptons.
The phone is charging incl battery logo. The phone boots but is not passing the boot logo. I can get into HBoot and it says unlocked s-off but I get a error message USB last connected devive caused an error. ADB commands do not work because the phone is not recognized. I can select recovery and then the PC tells me that a HTC android device is connected , that the phone a recognized as a mass storage device (portable device D:/ however I cannot reach the Phone in any way. I have killed USB drivers a millions times, deleted ADB and reinstalled. Deleted HTC sync mngr a million times, installed every possible usb driver kit etc etc etc. Even cleaned the register. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Factory reset fails because it fails to mount emmc. emmc indicates 0 bytes
I have tried now everything possible for 6 months and you are probably my last resort before I throw the phone in the bin. Local HTC partners are not allowed to touch the phone because it is a Verizon OEM phone.
So, what do you think? Is there any change to make this phone alive or not?

You cant flash the European ruu on a verizon m7, only the verizon ruu will work on ne this CDMA variant. Now you must have fastboot working to 1) revert your cid back to verizon 2)flash TWRP tout le get adb working and change back your mid to verizon and 3) flash the verizon ruu.

Thanks Alray for youe quick respons, I already figured out that Verizon was harware incompatible with European HTC's. Yes, I need tpo change CID, MID etc. but.......... How do I get my fastboot working?

make sure the correct drivers are installed on your computer and try other usb ports (2.0) and cable.
There is nothing you can do to fix your phone without fastboot...
