[Q] TWRP recovery gone after flashing RUU. Help! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the other day I successfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and SuperSU, installed a google play app too confirm HTC one was rooted and it was, Turned Security from on to S-OFF then finally flashed a stock Google Play Edition RUU to my device. Everything worked fine however, when I selected recovery from the boot menu, TWRP is now not loaded, I get a little android appear in the centre of the screen, that eventually falls over with a red cross in the centre.... I have checked to find that my device is now not rooted. So it seems the new RUU messed up the custom recovery?
Any ideas what I should do to get the root back? If i re-install TWRP and Supersu will it wipe data from the new RUU I installed?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. :silly:

I know you tried flashing the recovery already, but I suggest you do it again, and first download it again; could be your download was corrupt.

I wouldn't listen to this guy, let alone flash a file he provided. The website he linked to even asks to not do just that.
Here is the link to the official TWRP page:
https://twrp.me/Devices/
You should be able to find every version for the m7 here.

I understand your concern but FYI these recoveries linked by the other guy are safe. Unofficial TWRP by MDmower are well known and sometime more reliable than the official twrp versions (depending which version) .

I changed my screen, volume board, charge port and battery so i will try this.
Had the same problem after screen replacement... Stuck in bootloop and it wouldn't boot to recovery. What i did, i was going to try universal TWRP but had to unlock bootloader. so after i pushed unlock_code.bin via fastboot and phone asked if i want to unlock bootloader, i said yes, phone rebooted to recovery mode with bunch of errors. just did factory reset and wiped data/cache in recovery, did reboot in recovery and after phone started to boot up normally. give it a go.

Also post your "fastboot getvar all" please (hide your imei and serialno before posting)
As a last resort you can try flashing a stock rom via fastboot. Only if you don't mind losing all your data but atleast you will have a working phone again. Just a heads up make sure to backup all the contents of your phone to the cloud or a computer in case something like this happens again.

[Q] Problems with OTA Upgrade

I have an htc One running on the Reliance Network. Versions 4.1.2 / 1.29.651.10
It is Bootloader Unlocked with TWRP 2.6.0.1 and root
I have downloaded the mouthful OTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.31.651.2-1.29.651.10_release_326731tcfazf1gnytc7g74.zipOTA_M7_WL_JB_50_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.31.651.2
-1.29.651.10_release_326731
When I try to flash it using TWRP it bombs out as there is no MD5 file.
I have two queries:
1. How do I update the TWRP to 2.6.3.0?
2. How do I install the update.
I prefer to use the fastboot method?
I have downloaded the update to my PC since aborting deletes the file. Also, I have the TWRP on my PC.
Please advise and help.
Check PM

You cannot upgrade when your phone is rooted(i got to know from hetaldp)
I upgraded to JB 4.3, it awesome. Touch is Excellent. i too use relaince. there are no issues.
BUT remember you cannot root again, as over i am facing problems,,,
check : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494594
So Please kindly wait, till the root for hTC ONE for upgraded JB 4.3 one Comes...
Are you using Sprint or T-Moile or Version HTC ONE?
To get upgrade installed, please un-root, relock, and then you can perform the update...

It is Sprint, and from Hetal. Unrooting and relocking can be a pain, reloading everything. However, for almost two years I did not do any work on the Android side, so have forgotten everything.
I do not mind a locked phone it I can get to 4.3
Can you please pm me with the unrooting, relocking and the 4.3! Root for 4.3 is inevitable - just a matter of time.
Following the GooManager route I managed to get TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed, except the phone did not reboot. I did check it is 2.6.3.0.
Now the problem of the OTA remains. Maybe I will be forced to follow pm.mohanani's route of relocking. I cannot understand if I relock the bootloader then is not the unrooting automatic!
Also, Mr Mohanani GooManager requires root, so do not bother.
Managed to upgrade to 4.3 using Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_3_04_651_2_RUU from Android Central as suggested by Hetal. I had to do a <fastbook oem lock> first. No problems except it wiped the data totally. Working fine. I have a few points / questions
1. Booting into Recovery is showing the Red Exclamation in a Triangle. Obviously not working, as in rooted!!
2. The Boot into recovery is showing both [RELOCKED] and S-off.
- Is this the cause?
- As per Hetal S-off means that I can root straight away irrespective of the Relocked status
- I guess OTA to KitKat (when it comes) is also a no go.
- What recovery is suggested TWRP 2.6.3, CWM (version?), or some other. This means that 4.4 will again be a full reload.
- Any fixes?

Thanks. So I will again wait for the 4.4 RUU to be available on XDA or somewhere, and then install and forget OTA.
The point is recovery. I presume with S-off custom recovery must to be installed.
Do I install TWRP which takes care of root or do you suggest some other route, ie, root (how?) > recovery.

Install TWRP 2.6.3.0
Option 1 flash SuperSU or another superuser file and run stock rooted
Option 2 flash a custom rom
Still stuck. I downloaded GooManager, and it will go into download > nowstarting and hang forever. I was advised to go the adb fastboot way, i.e.
download latestTWRP image filethen
adb reboot bootloader
then when I get
ui fstboot
fastboot flash recovery <twrp-recovery-name.img>
and its done.
I downloaded the .img file. Put everything into c:\recovery. Moved there under the command prompt. Plugged the phone into the computer, got both the drives (htc sync manager, and HTCONE) . So the connection was kosher.
Then gave adb reboot bootloader
The adb daemon started, but it found no device.
Obviously I being a noob in this game was missing something.
Also, I hear that the ROMs are available which to not reformat the storage. Are these the Deodexed versions or something.
Also, once in ten calls or so the screen goes totally blank at the end and is pain to restart the phone.
Checked up with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497712
Seems that I am S-off but no rooted! Now what??
After a day or so and some cool thought I think I may have the problem identified. It is likely to be the lack of a root. I tried the following and the responses there from:
adb reboot bootloader
rebooted into bootloader Showing relocked and S-off. No fastboot option in the lower menu!
Now:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
I get
sending recovery <8600kB>...
Okay [ 1.140s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED <remote not allowed>
finished. total time 1.170s
Any ideas, and when may I expect root for 4.3. At the moment the phone appears to be working file, but no recovery!! HELP!!
Do I need to unlock again despite S-off. Also, then what is the bitstream I send it from 4.3 - the same as the old one!!
Yes you need to unlock your bootloader again to be able to flash twrp
I did as per the htc route - Do the unlock, reinstalled the OS, download the bitstream, etc, and then the OS reloaded. Still Goomanager could not get TWRP 2.6.3.0 so used the fastboot route and succeeded in downloading it to the phone. Thanks for encouraging me and putting me on the right track.
Now ho to root. Then I may as well get Titanium up!
You can get SuperSU or Superuser from the playstore or install a custom rom.
A very interesting experience. I could not enter bootloader [Down-vol + power was just restarting the phone], even adb devices was drawing a blank. So I decided to do a factory reset from phone. Lo and behold it dropped me into the TWRP screen. I managed to root, restarted to the main Downloaded su checker which completed the root. Confirmed. Then downloaded Titanium with Pro license (I have it) and did a recovery. Also, TWRP Manager (downloaded) is working and I am able to start into bootloader, etc.
When I try and look for upgrades with TWRP installer it says none. I know 2.6.3.0 has been upgraded to 2.6.3.2 Let sleeping dogs lie.
Also, I have not checked with adb devices but I am sure that too will now work.
Thanks, but what is going on. Is it only God and maybe Google know what happened?
Thanks for helping, and keeping me going.
I had more or less decided to revert to 4.1 and do an S-on <fastboot oem writesecureflag 3> and bootloader lock and look for OTA!
Added on 25th November
adb still not recognising the beast. adb devices gets a blank list. Phone is available under Windows so drivers etc are Ok.
A noob question. I saw
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 Odex & De-Odexed
Insecure Boot img. init.d support, data/app support
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 Odex
Stock Rooted 3.04.651.2 De-Odexed
on the upgrade thread. Now what do the terms Rootedm Odex and De-Odexed mean to the average user. Stock means the basic htc ROM I presume.
Also, rooted means what stages are covered.
afaik to upgrade you lock the bootloader, do the upgrade, and then in normal situations again unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom recovery (TWRP does the rooting - hopefully).
Do these ROMs take care of some or more of these stages?

[CLOSED]Cant' install 4.19.1540.9 update

About one month ago I was prompted with an update in my M7, it was the 4.19.1540.9 update. I downloaded it, and I clicked the install now button, but after that, it reboots into recovery mode, if I reboot again, it reboots as always without the installed update, then I tried again to install 4.19.1540.9 update and it goes into recovery mode once more, it's an endless loop and I cannot do the proper system updating.
I'm running 4.19.1540.4 dev edition, Android 4.4.2 with TeamSeven Kernel. S-off and Unlocked.
Any help will be appreciated.

[Q] Bricked. Boot Loop. No Data in SD Card.

Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem
So I was running 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5 on my phone. Vodafone (my phone company in Aus) sent out an OTA update for my phone. I'd already rooted my phone and had a custom recovery, so I knew I wasn't able to install it without going back to stock. So I tried following the procedure to go back to stock. Used 'Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.980.2' to do it and it seemed to work pretty well. It was 4.3, so I did an OTA, first one (like a 3mb file) installed fine, then the second one for 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 downloaded and installed, but not it is stuck in a boot loop. So I tried to do a factory reset from the bootloader which sent it back into the bootloop, then as nothing was working, I thought I'd install the custom recovery (TWRP) and install the ROM again and just leave it at that so at least I have a phone. Only problem is I had to unlock the bootloader again which wiped everything on the internal storage. And I'm stuck.
There's nothing in the internal memory. It's stuck in a bootloop after an OTA. I have TWRP installed as my recovery. I can access both recovery and bootloader.
Any idea's?
Also, for some reason, I can't download or access anything from this website; http://ww35.bugsylawson.com/ which I've seen used in multiple places to try and unbrick your phone
Thanks all!

Thanks for the help man, I tried doing an ADB before I posted this and it didn't work for some reason, but when I used this ROM, worked perfectly fine. Just updated to 71.1 just then as well, so now phones working a-okay. Thanks again man!

Problems with updating CM12

I believe the root problem of this may be using TWRP manager to update recovery, because it happens after I attempt to do that. It asks if /dev/block/mmcblk0p43 is the correct partition, which i believe it is, and attempts to flash it. Once it attempts, it says it is failed, but when I reboot into recovery it is the updated version of TWRP. I think it may be messing up my partitions somehow.
The problem is, I RUU'd last night with the official Sprint exe, and all was fine. Rooted, installed recovery and flashed the latest of CM12. Get it up and running, go about re installing all my apps, and use TWRP manager to update the recovery. Today the new nightly has some M8 specific updates to it, so I decided to flash it. I flash in recovery, get no errors, but once I reboot it stays stuck at the white HTC screen where they threaten to send you into poverty for misusing their software.
Does anyone have any input on how to correct this issue, outside of RUU'ing again?

S-on or S-off? If S-on you have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM.

I've been s-off'd since day one, and I just booted into bootloader and double checked, still s-off.
I did however this morning flash the Blissful kernel and it booted, and noticed your comment when I came to update. It's very strange that it needed the kernel flashed.
