Hi,
After i've been playing with samsung phones i decided to buy an HTC One, but today i started to follow some guides in order to unlock bootloader, root and s-off my device.
My surprise when i pu the phone in bootloader mod is already unlocked and s-off, however when i put in recovery mod the screen was dark and then showed an image with a phone and a red triangle inside i presume that there is no recovery installed and the phone is not rooted.
Here's the bootloader information of my device:
***UNLOCKED***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-HTC__304
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RADIO-4A.23.3263.28
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-4.19.401.9
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Feb 7 2014,01:06:01.0
I need your help. What am i suppose to do now? Root my device and install a recovery?
Thx
Technically, there *is* a recovery, just a stock recovery (the red triangle is normal with the stock recovery).
With S-Off, you can do anything. Of course a good place to start would be to flash a custom recovery.

So my next step is flash a custom recovery and then root my device?

If you want to root just flash latest twrp recovery (2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4). enter recovery then exit and you'll be prompted to root your phone.
You'll be prompted with something similar to this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
swipe to install then when the phone reboot, go in your app drawer and complete the root installation by opening the SuperSu app.
either ''play'' or ''twrp'' methos should work with s-off.

boot your phone in bootloader mode
select ''fastboot'' then connect usb cable to computer
open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name_of_recovery_file>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
make sure you download the correct recovery that match your phone variant. i.e don't use a sprint (M7_WLS) twrp recovery on your device (M7_UL)
and make sure to save the recovery .img file in your fastboot/adb folder prior to flashing it.

Yes, with s-off you can flash either a sense based custom rom or gpe custom rom. Be sure to use a rom intended for M7_U or M7_UL. Don't flash any sprint rom (WLS). Also make a Nandroid backup of your phone trough twrp before you flash a rom and save a copy on your computer.

Hey guys!
I have a problem, and to be perfectly honest I am not a massive expert at this sort of stuff, but bare with me.
I am trying to install Virtuous ICS Rom RC2 on my Incredible S, but once I've done so it won't boot past the HTC logo. Tried a clean wipe (factory reset/cache/dalvik cache), and even changing from EXT3 to EXT4 and back, but nothing works. Now, I've had this problem before with other various ROMs, and it seems that I can only get flawless installs and boots from Cyanogenmod 7.1 and MIUI (not the ICS version).
Currently running 4EXT recovery and MIUI, but I want the ICS rom really bad, and other Incredible S users are flashing without any problems, so I'm not sure what gives.
Any and all help would be appreciated (and sorry if this is a noob-ish question and/or in the wrong forum)!
Make sure you have the newest ClockWork Recovery Mod installed. If you do try reinstalling it and an engineering hBoot. I would say the problem would be that one of those are corrupt.
I will try both of those and get back to you with the results! Thanks!
Okay, so I updated CWM to 5.0.2.0, which did not do anything. When you say reinstall, do you mean a completely removal of CWM and then installing it again? Because I'm not sure how to do that.
Also, as usual, MIUI 1.2.30 installs just fine, but I just tried installing MIUI 2.12.13 and ended up in a bootloop. So, thus far, I can only flash two roms; CM7.1 and MIUI 1.2.30. These two were the first two roms I ever flashed, not sure if that has anything to do with anything but I thought it might be worth mentioning.
Unlocked bootloader with htcdev? You might need to reflash the boot.img from your desired rom's zip file with the command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
i think you should flash the new ROM image

Read the FAQ sticky post for info on how to flash the boot.img file in a custom ROM.zip file.
Will do, thanks guys, wish me luck.
The correct first question is: Is the OP S-Off or HTC unlocked? if it's the latter, follow Nonverbose's advice.
My phone is S-OFF.

Please boot into Fastboot mode and run the following:

And post the results so we can see how your phone is currently set up
Okay, so I highlighted FASTBOOT and pressed the power button, then plugged in the USB and it changed to FASTBOOT USB. However, my PC doesn't find my phone, so I can't run the cmd prompts. Should I just go through the steps listed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105?

No that would not be applicable in your case from what you have told us. If you are S-Off and have a custom ROM installed, then you probably don't have HBOOT 1.16 or 2.00. That is why I wanted you to get the Fastboot getvar all information.
Have you installed HTC Sync on your PC to get the appropriate drivers set up?
Just installed HTC Sync and got all the appropriate drivers. Still won't show up as a disk when I'm in Fastboot, but I'm guessing it's not supposed to either.

No it won't show as a disk drive. Open a command window and set the working directory to the one where you installed adb.exe and Fastboot.exe and then type:
Fastboot devices and it should respond with your device serial number. If it does then you can type:
Fastboot getvar all

Ok you still have S-Off and now that you have fastboot working I would try reflashing CWM 5.0.2.0 recovery image in fastboot mode.
Copy the CWM recovery.img file to the directory where you have fastboot.exe. If you have a zip file for CWM5.0.2.0 then open the zip and copy the .img file.
Then in fastboot mode type the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then I would try flashing Virtuous ICS.
Hm, sadly that didn't help, it still just bootloops and/or get stuck on the bootscreen (depending on the ROM, tried both the Virtuous ROM and the new MIUI).

Hey Guys,
I previously submitted another thread with my issue. I just really need some help on this. I was trying to flash another rom on phone but did not notice S-On until it was done. Going thru the custom rom install, I wiped everything even my recovery backups. All i can do now is boot into HBoot, Fastboot, or TWRP recovery. How can I get pass this problem? Is there a way I can get S-Off in fastboot mode only? Please I need access to my phone

Since you have a custom recovery, extract boot.img from the zip, flash via fastboot : fastboot flash boot boot.img
run twrp, and install rom via sideload, like the previous guy said you don't need S-Off, with S-On you can't flash boot.img via twrp so it'll have to be done via bootloader

I am a complete noob, so how can I sideload? I tried to push using adb push but that wasn't working for me and I'm sure I have all drivers installed. When I use ADB devices cmd in cmd prompt, nothing shows, but if I do fastboot devices, I do have something show. And if I were to have assistance conducting this method, can I flash any rom this way?

Unistall htc sync and htc drivers and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261088 these drivers, then use adb command 'adb devices' and hopefully it shows up, to sideload, it's a simple adb command. have the rom.zip in the adb folder. then use 'adb sideload rom.zip' then wait until 100% and it'll automatically run the script on twrp
You need to be in recovery to do adb devices.
You need to have the phone connected in Fastboot USB mode to do fastboot device.
These are NOT interchangeable.

Hey all,
Before 3 months ago I wanted to make the my HTC One to GPE.
I followed this guide:
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...with-bootloader-recovery-ota-updates-0148068/
It worked great I really enjoyed this experience versions.
Now, I want to install Android Revolution HD 61.1 and I do not understand what the process I have to do.
I downloaded the file's version.
I enter to Recovery and installed from the file.
The device startup with a new version but there were some problems:
- Google's logo still appeared to me the operation of the device.
- It is unable to connect to Google's services.
- At the first time after the device turn on the sim card is not work but if I turn the flight mode on and then turn it off the sim work correctly.
*sorry about the incorrect English.
Make sure you do a full wipe from within the Aroma installer.

Aroma installer is the interactive installer within the ROM's flashable file that guides you through the installation process. Put the ROM you want onto your SD card, boot to recovery, install the zip, and when the installer comes up be sure to tell it to perform a full wipe. As for the picture in your post, that's HBOOT.

Okay. Thank you. I understand you.
In Installation I make WIPE.
There is a need to WIPE after installation?
Anyway, I want to return the device to its original condition, with the HTC logo and then flash the version again.
Wipe before the installation. Wiping afterwards would just delete everything. If you're trying to just put Android Revolution on it, you don't have to go the entire way back to stock condition just to do it. Simply wipe and install. If you're S-OFF, you can update/change the firmware and all that, but it won't prevent the phone from functioning.

well this firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579996 (from @vomer's guide) will get you back most (or hopefully all) HTC Sense firmware (except boot.img which comes part of the custom ROM, and recovery)
no need to relock bootloader since you're s-off, but remember:

fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip <- yes TWICE !!

You would need to:
Download this file Guru Reset 4.19.401.11 and place on your sdcard
Boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot into Recovery and install Guru Reset
This will take you back to stock and you will get the chance at the end to decide if you want to remain stock or root.

To receive updates you need stock rom and stock recovery. Here is nkk71's post on OTA Updates.
Also, it might be better to achieve S-OFF before the updates. It is sometimes a lot easier with the lower version numbers.

If thats the case you did not install the Guru Reset correctly
re-flash the guru reset and choose yes to stock recovery and radio and No to Root. When done correctly you won't have TWRP and the updates will work
I do agree though ...Get s-off before updating

Needs a bit more explaining I think.
I don't know why, but at first, fastboot didn't work for me.
I tried many things found on the internet, many guides, many drivers but every time, while my device was on, my computer could detect it and interact with it using cmd and "adb" commands, but every time I rebooted to bootloader, and selected "fastboot", nothing worked. The drivers wouldn't install correctly and even "fastboot devices" wouldn't work. My phone was on Hboot 1.54, and my computer was on a Windows 8.1 x64
I then installed Windows 7 on my laptop and had no problems installing the drivers and flashing the firmware.zip using fastboot.
Today I wanted to try again to make fastboot work with my butterfly (hboot 1.57 now) on my windows 8.1 PC, and...it worked ! I'm no expert, but I guess Hboot 1.54 wasn't "compatible" with win 8.1, whereas hboot 1.57 has no problems.
Just wanted to share this here, in case it can help someone else in the same situation.

The MD5 file is just a checksum which lets you verify that the download went without a problem.
