[Q] No OS, no nothing

Oke guys,
I probally did one of the most stupid things. Got my One transformed tot a GPE 4.3 version works smooth. Yesterday an OTA update to 4.4 really messed up my day. Try to install everything gone....No i am not able to install any version at al.
Got the last version of TWRP installed. got myself an unlocked bootloader even an 4.3 GPE rom. But TWRP keeps giving me the message "Error flashing zip: 'sdcard/<M7_UL_JB443_STOCK_UI.
can someone help me solve this problem..

For 4.3 Roms you need twrp 2.6.3.0 and not 2.6.3.3.
Flash it and let us know

Thans for you answer. I now got another one. "Unable to mount /data
unable to mount internal storage
I'm also not able to mount then by the menu.

Why do you need to mount internal storage?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

After installing the right twrp version. i use ADB to push the image.zip to my phone. Then i use twrp install and browse to my sdcard where the image.zip is transferred to. when i click it it gives that error. By the way he also starts with error flashing zip.
Comlete error is:
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/M7_UL_JB43..
updating partition details
e:unable to mount /data
e: unable to mount internal storage
i fear for my device...

Please anyone who can help me?

what about to boot to Bootloader, connect to some tools like Hasoon2000 Toolkits (cannot post links yet, sorry) and format everything you got, than flash the recovery again and push the rom via adb
make sure you download rom without any downloader
do not worry, i bricked my one the same day i got it and took me two nights to make it work again it needs lot of trying and searching but eventually you fix it

Thanks for your reply, i flashed everything a couple times. I guess is have the right rom. i do worry cause i tried so many things. Thinking about sending in my phone to HTC today..

what exactly are you trying to flash, link please.

i tried so many things is don't know exaclty the links. I tried different custom recovery. CWM and TWRP. Since i don't have an OS any more i tried to install de M7xxx.zip

Is the error still unable to mount sdcard? If so, follow post # 3 in my Canadian stock link.. You may need to use a recovery closer to your HBOOT version.

would you mind sharing what this "M7xxx.zip" is.

I am having the same issue
I am having the exact same issue as OP. I have HBOOT version 1.54 and TWRP 2.6.3.3., my bootloader is unlocked, and I am S-On. Every time i try to flash an image it gives me the unable to mount error. I am trying to use the Stock 4.4 GPE nandroid rom as suggested by @ipfreelytech. Any suggestions? Thanks

it sounds like your also trying to flash a RUU through recovery
go back where you downloaded the file and read the instructions on how to install it

Does it work on any other TWRP version? Can your phone boot normally?

I tried TWRP 2.6.3.0 with the same result. I dont know what you mean by "boot normally", but when I turn it on and don't force it to bootloader it just loads a dead android with a ! symbol.

From fastboot usb and a command prompt run fastboot getvar all
From here you can figure out what RUU you need to get your phone working again

[SOLVED] HTC One - USB not recognizing after downgrade HBOOT

Hey,
So I have an HTC One (Unlocked, HTC__E11)
It has 4.3 (Standard, with root), S-off.
Yesterday I wanted to restore it back to stock, so I could get the 4.4.2 OTA update, only a problem arrised.
I flashed back stock recovery -> tried updating OTA, got red triangle during update.
RUU gave me errors aswell.
So after some googling, I decided to downgrade the HBOOT to 1.44, but now I have a big problem.
USB won't work anymore in fastboot.
When I try either ADB or fastboot, my phone is just not recognized.
Windows also doesn't recognize the phone and just gives me an error (Both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1).
I suspect it's because of the HBOOT, but there's no way for me to revert it.
What I really want now is just to revert my phone back to stock 4.4.2 with all the updated original recovery, hboot, etc but I have no idea what I must do now as I can't use fastboot or adb.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Be more precise here! What was the error codes? Did you modified/erased some files in /system? maybe you removed some stock apps? If you messed with /system files then the ota installation will fail.

It will definitively not work on windows 8.1 but it should work on 7.

use your windows 7 pc
download and use latest android sdk here
download and install latest htc drivers via htc sync here then uninstall htc sync (drivers will be untouched)
use usb ports at the back of your computer (don't use usb hub)
post the output of fastboot getvar all minus IMEI/SN

Okay so I just managed to get it to work on my Windows 7 PC by deleting all HTC drivers, and simply messing about with some drivers I found on the net (I have no idea how, but suddenly fastboot USB was working, so I immediatly flashed TWRP and the latest firmware).
So this is the new situation:
4.3 OTA Rooted
S-off
RELOCKED bootloader
TWRP 2.6.3.3
Latest firmware (Including Hboot 1.56)
What would be the best and easiest way for me to go back to 4.4.2 OTA (I'd like to keep s-off)

Error 170, with USB, with an ruu.exe.
The thing is, I gained access to fastboot again, and I want to be able to receive the OTA update of 4.4.2
My current situation is
4.3 OTA Rooted
S-off
UNLOCKED bootloader
Stock recovery 3.62.401.1
Latest firmware (Including Hboot 1.56)
But OTA update doesn't show up anymore, what must I change?

you should start over with a fresh install. Flash the 1.28.401 ruu.zip then apply all ota.

I just flashed 1.28.401.8 ruu.zip and it worked!
I can get the OTA updates now, really, you are a life saver.
Would've taken me ages to figure out that flashing the RUU zip would work.
Thanks again.
It's all solved now, this topic can be closed.

[Q] HTC One returning to stock questions

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to whole rooting and stuff so excuse me for my probably noob and dumb questions..
I own a HTC One for a year now I believe, and I wanted to give the rooting thing a try.
So I unlocked my One, and installed a custom recovery (TWRP).
I didn't do alot with it, had a stock version af android with sense, no custom roms or anything, only used root acces for the cerberus app.
The other day HTC released a new version af the stock software, I believe 4.19.401.11.
Since I'm not doing anything with the unlocked phone I want to get it back to stock again.
I am on android 4.4 with sense 5.5 now, android version 4.19.401.9, hboot 1.56
My fastboot getvar all:
(bootloader) version: 0.5

I found this guide to get back to stock: http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/
There it works with S-off, with rumrunner to get s-off but I read that rumrunner wont work with hboot 1.56, sadly I have 1.56..
In that guide you have to get s-off, downgrade to another hboot (1.44) and use a RUU with android version 1.28 or 1.29 to go to stock again.
But, in another topic I found this:

@crushalot hey mate did you realize that there are now 4.19.xxx RUU's available on http://androidruu.com/?developer=M7# ?

That is an RUU for exactly my phone I believe.
So now my question: Can I run that RUU, in the way that is written in the htc1guru return to stock guide (via fastboot) and go back to stock again? With a (re)locked bootloader, and receive OTA updates again?
I hope my question and all the information I have given is clear! If not feel free to ask me below!

You are still essentially stock, you will only need to flash the stock recovery from 4.19.401.9 , unfortunately I did a quick google and couldn't fine one. If you have the OTA or ruu you can extract the recovery.img to use. unlocked bootloader and root is fine. Then when the version .11 is released by your carrier you will be able to install.

Hi mb_guy, i have a twrp backup which i can restore, which could allow me to return to stock with superuser root access.
If i flash a stock recovery, will it remove my root access and receive future OTA? (if i am not mistaken, i tried flashing the stock recovery, and relocked the bootloader, but i just can't remove the superuser app :crying: )

I have found the RUU of 4.19.401.9 (it is in the link i posted in my opening post, from androidruu).
(http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe)
I found a guide to extract the rom.zip from a RUU file, but it wont work for me. Can someone extract the rom.zip file for me and upload it here?
Only flashing the recovery file sounds like loads easyer than the entire guide i found by htc1guru.
And what if i want to re-lock the bootloader and get rid of root? Can i do that too?

You don't want rom.zip you want recovery.img it's likely in the firmware folder. You should be able to unroot from twrp. You can re lock the boot loader, but it will say relocked, I would just leave it unlocked.

Ok it's easy
Retry run that ruu exe file goto temp folder in c-Windows- user- app data - local - temp find in some folders you will get it but it's not worth it as it's encrypted so next time you will ask how to decrypt it
So better Google HTC One stock recovery download it flash it
2 if you want unroot mostly super user or rooting apps have methods in their settings try them
3 locking boot loader is last step after recovery flash
Unlocked bootloader not prevent future OTA
So no need for relock bootloader
OTA need stock recovery + unmodified system

But the recovery.img file is in the rom.zip file correct?
So i have to extract the rom.zip file out of the RUU first to get the recovery.img out of the rom.zip file.
Or can it be done a much easyer way?

You can't get the recovery from the rom.zip as the zip is encrypted.
I downloaded the 4.19.401.9 firmware.zip and extracted the recovery from it.
Here is the recovery : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/4.19.401.9/recovery.img/download
Now you have two options:
With the RUU that you have
1. relocked the bootloader
2. run the RUU to go back to stock
3. do the OTA
With the recovery only
1. fastboot flash the recovery
2. not necessary to remove the SuperSU (but you will lose root after OTA)
3. or remove root (open the SuperSU app, - settings - scroll down - select Full unroot if you think it's better to remove it before OTA
4. do the OTA

Remove root by flashing stock firmware
Hi guys, i did some searching and found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659
according to this thread if i flash in stock firmware it will remove the root?
So my question is, if i restore my phone to the rooted stock state > relock the bootloader > flash in the stock firmware, in theory it should return the phone to stock state right? just to confirm if the above thread works for the HTC One
Thanks.

Thank you very much!
When I unlocked, rooted and installed the TWRP recovery I lost the stock flashlight app and calculator app and some others.
With the RUU i will get them back i think, with the other option, flashing recovery it wont return right? And after the OTA?
Is there any risk in running that RUU?

You should have said this earlier. When you lost the some apps that reside in data/preload folder means you don't already have a proper stock, OTA most probably will be a fail attempt.
Flashing the recovery alone cannot guarantee a successful OTA update due to those missing apps.
The best option that you have is run the RUU unless you can find any nandroid backup for the current ROM.
For me, I will choose to run the RUU as that is always the best option when it is the right RUU for your device.
Make a backup to PC all your storage content in case you lose them by running the RUU (but unlikely you will lose them)
With the RUU ... the procedure is :
1- in fastboot mode - relock the bootloader : run command fastboot oem lock
2- in fastboot mode - flash/run/double click the RUU; follow the updater instruction - next,update,bla,bla,bla until it finish

If it is the firmware.zip alone, no .. it won't remove your root app.
When people say stock firmware it is always mean stock ROM.
To remove root, just simply select Full unroot in SuperSU settings. (asumming your rooting app is SuperSU as shown in that thread).

Thanks everyone for their help!
Everything worked fine, I'm back to stock now and just updated the OTA !

[Q] Htc One M7 boot-loop after OTA update

Hi, first of all thanks to anyone who reads this!
I'm in a bit of a corner:
I got my One off eBay from Germany (cidnum: T-MOB101) ... it arrived fully updated, running Sense (5.5/6 - not sure - the 'green one'
Full info:
version: 0.5
version-bootloader: 1.57.0000
version-baseband: 4T.27.3218.14
...
version-main: 5.16.111.4
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
...
product: m7_ul
platform: HBOOT-8064
modelid: PN0710000
cidnum: T-MOB101
...
security: on
build-mode: SHIP
...
commitno-bootloader: dirty-0e1af350
hbootpreupdate: 11
gencheckpt: 0
I was a bit quick on the trigger-finger and I:
- unlocked bootloader
- wiped EVERYTHING
- flashed Android Revolution HD 71.1 ROM
After that the phone started to reboot: it first fires up, immediately reboots and goes into recovery
Man, I said, ok what to to?
- I located a matching TWRP Nandroid backup (M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID T-MOB101 2.24.111.3.zip)
- restored backup, flashed stock recovery, relocked bootloader
- woila - the phone booots, ok great
- the phone finds OTA updates (some bugfixes, saying they fix OTA updates) - proceed with update, ok
- the phone boots, finds OTA update (3.4 I think) - proceed with update
- the update finishes
- now I'm in the boot-loop
Any ideas?

Hi, dont know if you solve this, but i had the same CID phone.
So I went to page http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-111-3-zip/ ; installed without granting root permision, i also installed stock recovery and radio. then i updated till now i am at 5.16.111.4 and waitin for 6.base.
I didnt have to relock bootloader to get OTA.
I met some corupted update when phone was updating, but phone donwload it again, updated and then a new fix4update shows..
If you are in bootloob and have locket bootloader, you have to unlock, then flash TWRP recovery and then start again with file I linked you to.

Hello!
I got exactly the same problem, and I tried with the Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.111.3.zip and I can't update either. I also tred to SOFF with sunshine, but it tells me an error with the kernel (it doesn't like it).
Any idea? Thanks!

If you have the same MID & CID, you can go to T-Mobile Germany's site there is suppose to be a RUU 5.16.111.4 there. Download the RUU and run it, it will reset everything back to stock. Since, you are S-ON you will have to relock your bootloader prior to running the RUU.

I found this one http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M7UL_TMOUS_5.14.531.1_With%20Partial.exe
I don't know what the "WithPartial.exe" means. But the size (1.49 GB) seems to be fine.
And it's not for german phones (T-MOB101) but US phones (T-MOB010).

[Q] How Update Rooted One

Hi everyone
I want to do a "Official" Update for my HTC One (M7) that i rooted a while ago...
I allready read this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748547 And i found that the first and most important think is to have a Stock recovery
Unfortenantly i Have a custom recovery (TWRP) and the bootloader is "Unlocked"
What's the most secure and efficient way to be able to update my phone Offcially ?
Thnk's for help

Flash a stock recovery... You'll probably find one in the thread you got your custom one from.
Then just relock bootloader with the command
fastboot oem lock
You can now update with no issues.

if you have unlocked your bootloader and rooted the phone, you'll probably have issue installing the update even if you restore the stock recovery, Like I said in the post you have linked, when you unlock bootloader, /data/preload get wiped. You need this folder and its content back in place to install ota updates. Also, if rooting or anything else you did, modified some /system files, the ota will not install. However, flash you stock recovery back and try the ota, if the ota fails with an image of a red triangle and an exclamation mark inside, then you'll need to restore some files (either /system files or /data/preload files) You have to flash the stock recovery version that match your current version. If you can post the output of fastboot getvar all (minus imei and serialno) we could help you find the recovery you need.
and btw, no need to relock bootloader like said above. Better to leave it unlocked so you'll not have to unlock it again and wipe /data/preload again

@alray I tried the update after flashing the stock recovery and relock the bootloader, and as you mentioned it shows the exclamation red mark... I will past the info getvar soon, big thanks

relocking bootloader was not required, better to re-unlock it now, or you'll have the same problem with the next ota.
try to reapply the update. when the phone boot in stock recovery and start to flash the ota, press and hold vol+ then power and release both. You'll see some command lines and you'll be able to know which file is causing the ota to abort.
look for something like: unexpected content or no such file or directory)
also post the getvar all

you can't manually install an OTA if you are S-ON, you need to "download and install" on the phone directly.

hmm, in that case I don't have any ideas.
some users say they had to relock bootloader, though i don't think that's necessary, as the US Dev Edition comes bootloader unlocked by default, and still receives OTAs just fine.
I guess you could try that.

The easy way is to use a RUU to get you phone back to Stock
then download and flash the update.
the more complicated way is to restore stock recovery and the missing files from unlocking the bootloader and then download the update.
Depending on your phones CID / MID some are able to just flash a Guru Reset and choose to install the stock recovery and say no to root and then take the OTA update.
As you already have TWRP why not just install the Stock unrooted 6.xx.xxx.x Rom ? >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-4-4-3-sense-6-6-09-401-5-100-stock-t2854300

well, you could always go s-off and make things easier on yourself, but a question, what stock recovery are you using and where did you get it?

okay, that will not work, a GPE recovery, you need one for your phone. the easiest would be to extract it from the OTA
