[Q] please help me restore my One - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day all
I have been running CM 10.2 on my One for some months. Recently its started playing up so ive decided to go back to stock.
Ive googled the process. Fastboot works OK and see's my One connected OK.
Im having issues figuring out what RUU I should be downloading. Initially I went for RUU_M7_U_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.2
After a number of minutes it failed and said something like it cannot use this on my phone. My phone is a UK purchased unlocked device. Can anyone point me at the correct RUUI should download?

Looking at the fastboot screen I can see that my OS is 2.24.401.8
hboot is 1.54.0000
Please, any pointers to get a stock OS installed and my device booting again.

You can flash this (compatible with your firmware, CID & MID): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
if you want to receive OTAs, you'll need to select "stock recovery" (which will overwrite custom recovery).

If you have unlocked bootloaders then download twrp or cwm and rename to recovery put the file in the fastboot folder.
Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this will flash the custom recovery.

Do one thing install a custom rom like ARHD etc. and then S-off your phone using rumrunner.

This is going to be one of those jobs that just fails and all I end up with is a bricked phone.
I am a mac user and was using a windows XP VM to communicate with me phone using fast boot... When I try to push a recovery image XP fails badly and reboots...
I can't boot camp my mac because I'm running without a CD drive and boot camp needs a CD drive before installation.
Any tips on how to get my phone sorted using a mac?

1- just use mac versions of fastboot & adb, i believe you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
(or google for them)
2- do you care about having your phone "out-of-the-box"? that entails much more work.Can you live with an UNLOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader, and possibly the TAMPERED sign?
3- if you don't care about ^^ (2), then just use the Guru Reset ROM, i linked before.
get adb and fastboot working on mac, then in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery
adb push <name of guru>.zip /data/media/0/
then in recovery choose "install" and select the Guru Reset ROM.

Ok so i reloaded the recovery image. Rebooted and hey presto Cyanogenmod 10.2 loaded again. Phone is now working BUT I would still like to go back to stock.
With that in mind I followed your instructions above and tried to load the Guru zip on to the SDCARD. The ADB process finishes and it says its copied the file over but I can never seem to find it whe i load the recovery and try to install from a zip file.
Questions. Am I right in thinking I can continue to load the Guru zip to attempt to get back to stock?
What am i doing wrong?

if your phone is booting up again
just copy the guru.zip to the phone storage from your mac
no need to "push" if your phone is booting up

To confirm, I am now copying the zip over.
Is there a chance of me bricking the phone again or will the Guru zip return the phone to stock and allow OTA updates?

yeah the Guru reset was designed to put the phone back to stock
it uses an Aroma installer .. choose Stock Recovery to be able to receive OTA in the future. but you won't be able to flash any custom roms or Root with the stock recovery

that seemed to do the trick. phone is back stock.
after initial setup t imediately downloaded and installed a small update. rebooted and then asked to download another 4.3 675mb big update. that one seemed to reset the devce to new again. after setup the 2nd time i can see it didnt work as the phone was as if i had just completed the guru install...
thoughts?

Unrooting failed

Recently just bought my one and never realised it was rooted till I got home with it. So I decided last night I would unroot it following a guide on youtube. Successfully relocked bootloader but when I try to flash a ruu I get 12 signature verify fail and a different ruu I get 43 main version check fail.
Hboot-1.54.0000
Radio-4a.17.3250.14
Os-2.24.401.8
Could someone tell me what ruu I should be using to make sure I have downloaded the correct one. I downloaded guru 2.24.401.8.
Thanks in advance.
The guru reset isn't a ruu.
However, you will re-turn to stock, right?
Are you in s-off? s-on?

How do I find out if S-on or sS-off? I am stuck in bootloader.
In bootloader there is write: s-off or s-on?
Or use the fastboot getvar all and post the result here, without your imei and s/n

The guru one gives me 12 signature verify fail. Should I be using 401.1 or 401.8? 8 is the one I have been using.
I thought I couldnt turn s-off due to hboot 1.54.0000.
I dont know how to flash it any other way apart from fastboot.

Mate, i think you're trying to flash the Guru zip as a firmware zip and this is wrong.
For flash the guru zip you've to install a custom recovery like TWRP, reboot in it and flash the file from the sd of the phone.
When the installation is finished, your phone will boot.
rumrunners give you an error because you've to use it when you're on android

There are guides for this.
you've to flash a custom recovery with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
and after boot in it and flash the guru zip.
If you don't have it on your sd, you've to push it with the code
Code:
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
Finally you can flash it through recovery
I think my phone has had it.
Tried flash recovey and same error, 12 signature verify fail.

Mate are you flashing the file in ruu mode? (fastboot oem rebootRUU)?
If yes, and i think yes, you're wrong.
Please, use this guide for flash a custom recovery... (don't check the points 7, 8 and 9, from 6 go to 10)

I finally got it sorted mate. I had to unlock my bootloader again, once that was done the phone booted up straight away. Then I booted the ruu on the phone sd and installed from recovery. Thanks for all your help mate.

[Q] Trying to revert to stock ROM from GPE

Hi, I'm trying to revert my HTC one to stock ROM. I'd previously followed a tutorial on flashing it to GPE, but I can't find (or more likely don't have the smarts) to get it back to a stock ROM..
It's a 3 UK model, H3G__001, and I have been having trouble finding a backup, but have found a RAR file called M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID H3G 001 2.24.771.3 .rar from the HTC1guru downloads page.
Trouble is - I don't know exactly how to restore this file, and despite my best googling efforts, I'm stuck.
Can anyone help with a step-by-step ? ( Sorry I hate to have to ask )

Should I revert to using the linked one in the article ? I was thinking the zip you linked would be a closer match ?
If I go down the route of flashing the dev RUU - will I need to do anything else post-flash?
I couldn't find much evidence of this being a working option on a retail phone - but that may be old info....

you can't flash a nandriod backup like a rom
you have to copy it to your phone's clockworkmod/backup folder then restore it from recovery ... same for the TWRP nandriod .. it must be copied to TWRP/BACKUP/YourPhoneSN/Dateofbackup
Like I said lock your bootloader and the Developer edition RUU is your easy out

Ok. so I relocked the bootloader, and grabbed that DEV .exe updater.
Sadly, it reboots phone into the silver HTC logo, then checks, and starts to update and then crashes. Rebooting and rerunning produced the same results...
I'm on Win8 - would it be OS related ?

no if it were windows 8 related the RUU would not have started

If I powerdown then back up - it boots back into my GPE fine.
The Nandroid backup I have is a .rar file - is it ok to unpack and repack as a .zip or can I just push the rar ?
Also I can't seem to now unlock my bootloader again - if I run the flash unlocktoken, the screen asking if I want to unlock does not reappear as it did the first time.
Man, I'm scratching my head a lot - sorry for being a dud.

Man, I'm scratching my head a lot - sorry for being a dud.

your s-off so we can get this...
first boot to recovery and do a nandroid backup
and then boot the phone back up
then unrar your TWRP backup (that you downloaded) to your pc to a folder called nandroid
you then copy this to the location TWRP/BACKUP/YourPhoneSerialno/Put nandriod here
now reboot recovery and in TWRP choose backup .. nandroid should be their

Magic - that's the phone booting back to stock - worked brilliantly cheers !
Now to try and get the stock recovery etc back lol.
Thanks for your help bud !
Ah turns out it's not quite that simple. Android wants to get OTA updates but when the phone reboots to do it - it enters twrp recovery.
I need to get the stock recovery back also - so I downloaded what I think is the right version of recovery.img but when I try and fastboot flash it - it fails.
Would I need the phone back unlocked for this? And if so - how do I go about it now?

you can either re-unlock the bootloader with the s-off method (guru bootloader tool) to flash your stock recovery or pack up your recovery.img in a firmware.zip and flash it in ruu mode with a locked bootloader.
To use the guru bootloader tool go to this page: http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/guru-bootloader-reset/
save the zip on your sd card, boot in recovery, select ''install'' and choose the guru bootloader tool. This will open the aroma installer. Chose to unlock bootloader. be careful not turning back s-on with the tool. The tool only work with s-off phones.
edit: oh wait! just realized you are on twrp 2.6.0.1. The tool is intended for 2.6.3.3, not sure if it will work...

Ok. The guru tool ran - but I definitely chose unlock bootloader but it hasnt worked.
Can you clarify the RUU flashing business for the recovery ? I figure if I can get the phone to get itself up to date, I can factory reset it to get rid of any odd lingering mods?
does a firmware.zip need anything other than the .img file in it?

[Q] Error 171 on my htc one while running RUU

After months of thinking it through, i finally decided to give up on sense and try cyanogenmod... horrible desicion. I tried the installer and according to to the installer itself the install had concluded without error and all i had to do now was wait for my device to boot. When booting my device off andd after 5 minutes of beeing stuck in a bootloop, i realized that something had gone horribly wrong. I found many solutions online, but ended up narrowimg down to 2 options: wipe data/ factory reset and wipe dalvik through CWM or running a ruu to go bavk to stock and retry from there. Tried doing the wipe but i kept getting the error "Cant mount data" so i pretty much gave up on that option and went for running the RUU. Succesfully locked my bootloader again and all that was left for me to do was run the ruu and wait for my htc one to be running sense again! While going through the installer, i got an error at around the" 1/5" part of the ruu install (i used an exe) which said "error 171, check usb connection" and i also simultaniously got a pop up window that said "htc_fastboot.exe has stopped working" . At this point i really dont know what to do. PLEASE! Someone help me!

I think it's down to Windows 8 - fastboot isn't detecting the drivers Which is why it fails with error 171
Have you tried again with a Windows 7 PC?
I think there is a post on here about getting fastvoot drivers to work on Windows 8. I'll have a look

Does fastboot work normally or does it only fail when running an RUU, if that's the case uninstall HTC Sync if you have it installed. But leave drivers installed. HTC sync is known to cause problems with RUU's
But there is no RUU that will work for you since your device is s-on and on the latest firmware. Downgrading is not possible with s-on. At this point the best you can hope for is to flash a custom rom. At least you can get the phone booting that way.
Do if adb/fastboot is working normally just push a Rom and install it. If you can't get adb/fastboot working on your Windows 8 pc try my mini guide here to create a bootable Linux pen drive.

You can't use this RUU on your phone because its an older version. You need s-off to flash lower version RUU. You will need to either s-off your phone or restore it using a nandroid backup of 6.07.1540.1 or flash another custom rom like Danny suggested above. Look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355992 you might found a nandroid backup of that version. If you can find it just tell me and I'll upload mine for you. I also have the stock recovery for that version if needed.
to install cyanogenmod you need a recovery with block:by-name support like newer version of TWRP.

fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery".img
fastboot erase cache
Download CM11 here. Rename the file to rom.zip and place it in your fastboot folder on your pc.

Also download gapps rename it to gapps.zip and place it in your fastboot folder.
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/gapps/PA/pa_gapps-stock-4.4.3-20140608-signed.zip
Boot your phone to cwm recovery and connect usb. Do a factory reset then in the command window type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Wait for the push to compmete
Code:
adb push gapps.zip /sdcard
again wait for completion, it's normal for the command window to appear unresponsive until the push completes.
Now use cwm to install the Rom.zip followed by gapps.zip.

He also asked me (via PM) a TWRP nandroid backup of stock 6.07.1540.1 which I have uploaded for him yesterday.
No update yet, still don't know if the OP will flash the rom or restore the nand but I think he wants to flash the rom (but have the nand just in case).

[SOLVED] Can anyone help me fix my htc one m7?

I recently acquired an htc one m7. i decided it would be cool to root it and put a custom rom ( i have had experience in this i have done it on my s3 my galaxy tab 2.0 and a galaxy express) so i unlocked my bootloader, flashed a custom rom and rooted my device and i decided (stupidly) to erase everything from the device (System, data, internal storage, cache, and dalvik cache) but then i realized i didnt have the file on my phone and couldnt do anything with it so i started researching. i tried to gain s-off but with every solution i need to be booted up but i dont have an os so i cannot. i tried adb sideloading the file and it just errors. i tried pushing the file and flashing it and it errors. i tried fastboot flashing it but it wont verify it. i read on a forum on this site that said to flash roms with s-on you need to flash the boot image after. i tried this and it didnt work either. i also tried flashing the factory RUU with hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit. this did not work. ive tried different recovery (but not different versions of these recoveries) everytime i try flashing a rom it errors and says it couldnt detect filesystem for /dev/block/plat then it cuts off and after it says mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msn_ then it cuts off then it continues unmount of /system failed: no such volume (even tho in my file directory there defiantly is one) then it says patching system image unconditionally..... failed to open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/b E: error executing epdater binary in zip ' /sdcard then cuts off. i have no idea how to fix this sorry for such a long post please help me.

You can't flash custom roms from fastboot, it must be flashed from custom recovery. The only things that can be flashed from fastboot are recovery, firmware and ruu + flashing a firwmare or a ruu will require to be booted in RUU mode, not in bootloader mode.
i read on a forum on this site that said to flash roms with s-on you need to flash the boot image after. i tried this and it didnt work either.
Click to expand...

This is true for most of HTC devices but not for the M7. The boot partition is not secured (not protected by s-on) and is flashed automatically when flashing a rom from custom recovery.
i also tried flashing the factory RUU with hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit.

Which RUU exactly (link please) + post the output of "fastboot getvar all" and finally don't use any toolkits, work directly from the command prompt using fastboot and adb commands. Toolkits are not the best when in this situation.

This is the typical error of using an outdated recovery to flash a rom that require "block:by-name" support (e.g like trying to flash Cyanogenmod using twrp older than 2.7.x.x.) so again What is your recovery version and what rom and version is it?

If you want to flash CM12, update your recovery.

TWRP can be downloaded from here and here
thank you very much @alray i flashed a more recent twrp and it worked so thank you for all of your help. it was the toolkit that flashed an old version, so yes the toolkit was not useful in this instance because the files used for the recovery were outdated. they should update them. lol thank you.

[Q] hboot 1.44.00 and can't move forward nor backwards

Hi everyone
Been on Cyanogenmod 11-20140424-NIGHTLY-M7 for far too long and wanted to either upgrade Cyanogenmod or, better yet, move to Viper. I'm somewhat skilled with Windows and Linux, but I can't seem getting things to work.
What I've got:
HTC One M7 (unbranded, bought in Switzerland)
Unlocked S-ON
hboot: 1.44.0000
M7-UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26-120-274-0202
CID: HTC_102
It's rooted and got CWM ROM-Manager installed
Notebook with Windows 8.1, USB 3.0 all around
What I've tried so far:
Getting S-OFF
- Did not work. revone throws an ERROR=1 at me when I try to ./revone -P. I've tried like a hundred times, with su and all.
Then I tried to relock and get an RUU on it:
- Relocking did not work. Neither with revone (./revone -l or -r is successful on the CLI, but does nothing, i.e. still says *** UNLOCKED *** in the bootloader), nor with fastboot...
- ... as fastboot does not work, either. Tried different drivers and all, but fastboot always says < waiting for device >. So fastboot oem lock achieved nothing, either.
Then I just tried to install an RUU to get to JB and hboot 1.55 to then continue with rumrunner. This got stuck at some boot-image showing the HTC logo and the .exe cancelled.
Is USB3.0 breaking my neck here or do I have any other options to get to ViperOne?
Thanks in advance...
From what i've read in here many times, hboot 1.44 isn't compatiable with windows 8. 1. You need to use a windows 7 machine.

Windows 8 and hboot 1.44 are not compatible. You should use Windows 7 or better still Linux (preferably ubuntu 32bit)

OK, got my hands on a Linux notebook and managed the relock the bootloader. This led to only being able to boot into Bootloader, Recovery and ROM did always boot into Bootloader.
Then I tried to get a RUU with JB4.3 on the device to be able to run rumrunner on hboot 1.55.
#sudo fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
sending 'zip' (1065710 KB)...
OKAY [ 59.411s}
writing 'zip' ...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 171.238s
Now I unlocked the bootloader again to at least be able to boot into CYM again.
Meh, I'm kinda lost here. I feel confused about RUUs, CIDs, Nandroid Backups and where to go from here.
Any ideas?

Download this recovery. http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Put the file in your fastboot folder.
Download this Rom. Put the zip in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_1-29-401-13-zip/
Flash the recovery with fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Select recovery from the bootloader menu. While in TWRP recovery. Push the Rom. Type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push us complete. Do a full wipe and install the Rom. During the install setup choose these options.
Stock recovery = yes
Stock radio = yes
Root = No
You will now have full stock Rom and recovery. Reboot the device and go to settings>about>Software Updates. Download and install the OTA update. Repeat process untill your on JB 3.xx.401.x firmware. Then use rumrunner to gain s-off. :good:

This didn't work. While in TWRP, adb was not able to connect. Funnily enough, flashing TWRP*allowed me to boot into CYM again. Activated USB*Debugging and allowed the Host to connect, but still no luck in TWRP.
But since I*had access again I* just copied the Guru image over USB*to the Sdcard, booted back into TWRP*and installed the ROM*manually.

Another adventure... In the official instructions it says unlocked OR*rooted, so I*did not bother with rooting.
rumrunner then failed and damaged Recovery leading to not being able to boot into TWRP*and thus being unable to install SuperSu zip.
Had to reflash recovery, install SuperSu and run rumrunner again... Which again failed (becuase the screen was off, I did not see that ADB*Shell requested root).
After a couple of tries now it worked ^_^
Thanks a lot for your explanations.
Now I just have to find out how to get to Firmware 5.0.2 to install the latest ViperOne.
Edit:*When I try to run the OTA*update to 4.19.401.11 it just boots into Recovery

You need stock rom and recovery to install OTA updates. You can just flash the rom again with stock recovery to take further OTAs.
But as your now s-off you can just flash the firmware manually. You don't need to re lock the bootloader again. That's only for s-on users.
You can download the rest of the firmware updates here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32777
You must flash at least one zip for each firmware version. I.e if your on 3.xx.401.x then you have to flash
4.xx.401.x
5.xx.401.x
6.xx.401.x
7.xx.401.x
Then you can flash twrp and install a lollipop rom. You should have the rom on the internal storage before you start as the device won't boot after flashing the firmware as it will replace the stock boot.img. So you will need to flash a rom before it will boot. :good:
Commands for flashing the firmware zip as follows.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip "name-of-firmware".zip
fastboot flash zip "name-of-firmware".zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash TWRP, Install Rom, Done :good:

I thought I had to adhere to some upgrade path when handling firmwares but if that's not the case I'll be happy to use the latest, thanks!

See my edited post above. You can't just flash the latest firmware. It might work but there's a risk of bricking your phone if you skip firmware versions

Ahh yes. Well, another interesting one going through the firmware updates. Going from 5.xx to 6.xx nearly killed my phone. Screen went black no matter how long I*pressed the power button and connecting through USB*mounted some strange folders on the device.
Luckily found Dexter's thread and his unbricking script solved the problem:
