Dear All,
I have noted a lot downloads of the firmware and most of them just don't even bother clicking thanks :silly:
I appreciate your encouragements and appreciation for my work so that it will give motivation to keep all you updated.
Thanks a lot for everyone contributed..

To Check ModelIDs:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
----- Mobile reboots---
Code:
fastboot getvar all
----Check the following line in the command window: INFOmodelid: PN0714000----
Steps for flashing:
-----
Windows users, need to do these steps first:
- move the file you downloaded and renamed (firmware.zip) to the C:\adb\ folder.
- next, in the C:\adb\ folder hold down SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK and select "Open command window here".
-----
Next, plug in phone to PC and type this in terminal/command prompt:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
----- Mobile reboots---
Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After that, type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
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.
Finally:
Code:
fastboot flash zip C:\adb\firmware.zip
Got this:
Code:

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:
fastboot reboot
Then I went back to the bootloader mode (after the phone reboots successfully):
If Boot-Loop Occurs*:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Restart in boot-loader to check whether everything is fine*:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
--Phone reboots into bootloader--
Code:
fastboot getvar all
The resulting variable may look like this:
Code:
INFOversion: 0.5
INFOversion-bootloader: 1.56.0000
INFOversion-baseband: 4A.23.3263.28
INFOversion-cpld: None
INFOversion-microp: None
INFOversion-main: 4.19.401.9
INFOversion-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF

INFOcommitno-bootloader: dirty-4dab9d12
INFOhbootpreupdate: 11
INFOgencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
Q: Do I need S-OFF for firmware flashing?
A: YES, It is a must.
Q: Do I need to update my firmware?
A: NO, but updating firmware ensures optimal phone performance.
Q: Does it matter when I flash the firmware (before or after new ROM install)
A: No.
Q: Will updating the firmware erase my SD card or Apps?
A: No, The firmware files provided here does not erase none of those.
Q: If I only flash the ROM, will I get updated to the latest firmware?
A: No. You must flash the firmware separate in most cases.
Q: Can I install a UL edition firmware on a U edition phone?
A: Yes (may be), but you won't have LTE or may experience some other incompatibilities.
Possible Errors while flashing:
If it says "FAILED" do not immediately reboot the device. If you reboot with a FAIL it could brick your device! Listed below error are safe to reboot:
If you encounter one of them, you can just reboot. Nothing changes.
- 12 signature fail (means a signed firmware package is required. This would only happen with S-ON phones though. but safe to reboot)
- 23 parsing image fail (means something wrong with the image in the zip)
- 32 header error (means the zip couldn’t be read and unzipped properly)
- 41 Wrong Model ID (means the MODEL ID in the android-info.txt does not match with your device. you can reboot the device. You may change the MID manually in the android-info.txt at your own risk.)
- 42 Wrong Customer ID (means you need to include the CID of your device in the android-info.txt or change the CID to superCID.)
- 99 UNKOWN (is not yet clear but safe to reboot)
DON'T reboot until you get a success message if you get an error bellow:
- 90 hboot pre-update (means it only flashed hboot and you have to run the process again immediately to flash all other partitions. Don’t reboot before repeating the command. If the command window stuck in the middle for a long time, wait for a few minutes and please unplug the USB and replug it again. Repeat the command again. DON'T reboot until you get a success message.)
Editing android-info.txt
- Use an Editor that doesn't doesn't alter the linebreaks. Don't use Windows Notepad. Use Notepad++
- Only one MID can be in the file.
- CID's can easily be added or removed- one per line
To Get SUPERCID
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
RUUmode:
RUU Mode is the mode used for RUU flashes by HTC. It is different from the normal fastboot. You must flash the firmware only in RUU Mode. The RUU mode can be identified by the black background with only a silver HTC logo and if a command is being active a green progress bar will show the progress of any command being excecuted.

- HTC ONE Partition List:
- Mike1986 Partition explanation:

You must be aware that writing to the bootloader -partition increases your risk to lose the device exponentially. You understand and agree that i cannot be held responsible for such or any other damages. The flash process is theoretically safe and tested. I will not accept any responsibility. The method itself is developed by Google and HTC, i have only adapted it and you execute it. You understand that you should not do it if you are not willing to accept this risk.

Thanks @vomer and @Sneakyghost

placeholder

'Please note that it is for the HTC One M7 UL Only.'
is this a typo or true :silly:

Is this for the wrong device? or am i just being special?

its a placeholder although, really not needed, since the devs who will be responsible for s-off will likely make their own thread

Thread closed as its only a placeholder.
When the OP has something to share he can ask one of the forum mods to reopen it or report the thread and ask that it is reopened.

I was taking back my phone to stock by following the above link.. I did s-off to So-on.. But stucked at boot loader with Security warning..

If your mainver is 2.30.405.1 you will need this RUU http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe
You are using Windows, I gues. Follow this steps to install ADB and fastboot. (Extract the files to C:\Android like it says)
The next part should not be hard, since you already did this I gues. Run the RUU and when it is de-compressed to not press anyting and copy the rom.zip folder from your TEMP folder to C:\Android
Connect your phone to your pc/laptop in fastboot usb mode.
Open up cmd on your pc and use the following commands
cd C:\Android
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
That should work, because the same thing happend to me

Did Everything what you said..? But still i gets the same error message..

RUU fails because you need to be S-Off to flash the RUU it is a downgrade to 1.44...you have hboot 1.55, I dont know if there is a way to get S-off yet with 1,55, search threads to get S-off, then you will be able to flash the RUU

This is why I love this forum. I'm still in the noob starter program lol, so I don't post much at all yet, but the info you guys provide is priceless. Thank you THANK YOU very much!

did you try to use your HTC one from sprint on att network or any GSM net work with GOOGE EDITION stock android ? Please let me know. because i about to buy HTC one from sprint then convert to google edtion then use on ATT network.

Stuck in Bootloader

I got this used HTC one. I had google edition ROM on it when I got it. Then I flashed AR HD Rom on it. Everything was going fine till I decided to flash the latest firmware since I wanted to go to ARHD 30 and everyone seems to recommend to flash the new firmware.
I was going thru the normal steps and saw that I need to relock my device. I did this:
C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...

(bootloader) Use PSHOLD to reset device.

finished. total time: 1.110s
After this I noticed that I had relocked written in fastboot mode even though it said failed. So tried the next step:
C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem rebootRUU
...

And any step that I try it fails. The most unfortunate thing is I can only boot in fastboot & bootloader mode. I can't go in recovery neither can I boot normally. These are my phone details:

I saw in some places people mentioned to use RUU. Not sure what it is but if some one can point me to a correct RUU or let me know any other steps it would be greatly appreciated. My phone is almost bricked now since i can't go past fastboot/bootloader.

You have no idea how lucky you are. Before you do anything, get S-OFF using revone. Just go into CWM (or re-flash recovery) so you can use adb. Once you have s-off, follow my guide :
This guide requires S-OFFImportant
*** If there are files you need to keep, you can always use adb pull to get them out before hand (let's say a nandroid backup or something important)
This guide assumes you have knowledge about how adb and fastboot command work and that your HTC drivers are up to date.
I am in NO WAY responsible for any possible damage that may happen to your phone, I am only trying to help
Start your phone in bootloader by typing
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or by other means.
Select "Fastboot" so that it appears in red instead of HBOOT
On your computer, make sure fastboot sees your device, then type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Type
Code:
fastboot erase system
Type
Code:

Once it's rebooted on a silver HTC logo, type :
Code:
fastboot flash zip [pathonyourcomputer/firmware.zip]
Wait until it is done on your computer. The green line on the phone will never reach the end.
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reflash your recovery (I recommend CWM). Might as well play it safe.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [pathonyourcomputer/recovery.img]
Reboot into recovery (select the option in fastboot)
Wipe data/factory reset (you will loose everythng)
Select "Wipe Cache partition"
Select "Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Now you have 2 options :
Push (Preferred)
While in recovery, type
Code:
adb push [path/rom.zip] /sdcard/rom.zip
Select "Install zip"
Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
Voila ! You should be good to go !
Sideload (If you can't push for some reason)
Select "Install zip"
Select "Install zip from sideload"
Type
Code:
adb sideload [path/rom.zip]
Voila ! You should be good to go !

You have no idea how lucky you are. Before you do anything, get S-OFF using revone. Just go into CWM (or re-flash recovery) so you can use adb. Once you have s-off, follow my guide :

@awaitforitb:
I agree with the S-Off part, just check the date of your bootloader it has to be pre June 2013. Also, in order for revone to work you need a functioning ROM (4.1.2... 4.3 will NOT work). Do you have one functioning device, or are you "stuck in bootloader" as the title says.
You could run the RUU found on androidruu http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7, I believe yours would be http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo....20_10.40.1150.04_release_326691_signed_2.exe
That's an exe you run directly from your PC, and it will walk you through the steps, this will wipe your phone completely! and restore everything back to 100% stock.
After that you should get S-Off, and then proceed to whatever your end goal is.
@attanasi0 just a couple of questions, why do you recommend all the "fastboot erase userdata/linux/system/recovery" ?
Also, please remember that when using "fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip", in most cases, you have to do it twice after each other, the first will push the zip and say "failed, flush image again" (or something along those lines), the second flash will actually start the installation and should report success.
I usually use firmwares from @vomer's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 as they have the dzdata files removed, as well as the stock boot.img and recovery.img removed.

You're about pushing the zip at first, forgot about that.
I honestly don't know why I recommend that. I guess it's to make sure the phone is a clean slate and no conflict will be created TL;DR : Paranoia

TWRP Won't Boot After Firmware Update

I pushed the latest recovery found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...light=firmware which went fine. Afterwards I went to reboot to recovery and flash the updated radio and the "Entering Recovery" message displays but never loads TWRP. The phone then reboots and loads the ROM.
Note: I did receive an initial error message and then re-ran the firmware flash. Various things stated they were bypassed:
Initial push:
sending 'zip' (39722 KB)... OKAY [ 4.738s]

Once the flash finishes, the device sits there with the black screen and HTC logo with the green progress bar about 95% of the way across and refuses to move. It requires a fastboot reboot-bootloader command.
I've tried the fastboot erase cache, fastboot flash recovery RECOVERYFILE, fastboot erase cache method to no avail. I've even tried different versions of TWRP.
Any ideas?
EDIT: PEBKAC. Made the mistake of grabbing the recovery for the M7 and not the M7wls for Sprint. Sigh. Issue resolved.
EDIT: It now looks like the cache partition isn't mounting correctly. How do I go about getting it partitioned correctly? -- Killed it all in TWRP with fixing permissions, wiping cache/dalvik a few times.

Flash the stock recovery, do a factory reset and reflash TWRP

[Q] Soft Brick - ADB Push/Sideload; ROM is "corrupt"

[SOLVED]
Hello gentlemen,
I'm the noob that wiped his OS without installing a new one--yea, that guy. :laugh:
Long story short: I'm using TWRP and trying to sideload or push via ADB a new ROM onto the M7. I've tried a stock rom and two other well renowned ROMS. Each time, though it pushes over or sideloads, it fails install because the file is "corrupt." I searched the forums and web to get up to where I'm at, but can't get further. I also tried that other recovery CWM or whatever it is--that one had a similar error, though it didn't say corrupt (I can get that info if it'd help you help me).
Thanks in advance. I'll send some bitcoin to whoever gets my case solved. :fingers-crossed:
Code in TWRP is as follows:
Updating partition details...
Full Selinux support is present.
Starting ADB sideload feature...
Installing '/data/media/sideload.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
E: Zip file is corrupt!
Updating partition details...

As for the sideload, i'm following a set of instructions, "How to Fix a Soft-Bricked HTC One by Flashing a New ROM via ADB" from HTC-One Wonder How To website.
It seems to work and send through. In terminal:
./adb kill-server
./adb usb
./adb devices (to ensure device shows up)
./adb sideload *name of ROM*
Then sideload starts, showing percent complete, etc. Then once complete, it fails in the device with the TWRP output in the OP.

Change CID to BS_US001 and flash this while in bootloader mode.. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_jb_50_brightstarus_wwe_1-29-1540-16-exe/
You will need a Windows machine..

How do I change the CID?
What am I flashing there? What ROM/version of android?
No way to do this on a mac? (No windows, no access to one)

The same way you changed it to 11111111
You were going to be flashing a RUU of the same version as per your fastboot output main-ver. However, this is this file that I found that you can use on a mac.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460534
Download it.. and flash it with..
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip filename.zip
fastboot flash zip filename.zip (twice.)
fastboot reboot

Sorry man, I didn't change it to '111111111'. I bought this thing used and it was already unlocked. Please help me out on that.
I'll then try those commands.
So that will install a new OS? (I was convince by the internets I had to use ADB because I have no OS on the device and it's wiped).
Thanks man!

Read this, its my thread and I did the same thing myself, its much easier to do it this way than sideload.

I tried adb push. The problem is the .zip file keeps failing to install because it's "corrupt."

Try downloading the zip file again, other than that try and get hold of the guru reset zip for your phone, however as you are S-OFF you can download any Rom for your phone and push it and flash it.

Fastboot oem writecid BS_US001

Downloading now. That's the same CID as before, by the way.
I'm going with the link RUU, not the one you named (and didn't link). Same command as before.
All correct?
