[SOLVED] Soft Bricked again...need help! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I tried to delete my personal data from the HTC One as I was planning on selling it tomorrow. I went into TWRP and wiped everything...which meant I wiped the OS too
I've tried everything, but I cannot find a way to reinstall a ROM.
First, I'm on a Windows 7 laptop. Soon, I'll have to switch to a Mac computer at work.
ADB doesn't work at all because I can't get the driver installed so the phone isn't recognized in ADB. I've installed the drivers from Hasoon2000's AIO kit, as well as install HTC Sync Manager. Neither one helps...so for now ADB is out.
Windows RUU.exe installation files don't work either. I've downloaded all versions from HTCDevs.com, and get an ERROR 155 each time.
Fastboot itself works, but I can't flash a ROM. If I try, I get "remote:not allowed". I'm in RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU) for the RUU.zip files. I've also tried flashing a CWM ROM, but I get the same error.
I just want to sell this phone and get on with my life, but I can't find a way to get it working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ive read that error 155 is caused mainly because the boot loader is unlocked. YOU HAVE TO LOCK THE BOOTLOADER FOR RUU. Lock the boot loader and retry
Are you S-OFF ??

Thanks for the reply! I forgot to write it but I did relock the boot loader when trying the RUU.
Also, I have the Developer Edition, which is unlocked but S-On I believe.

1- Even though the Dev Edition is unlocked, when you want to run an RUU, you have to relock it (when S-On), otherwise you'll get error 155
2- post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI, and s/n)
3- when you say rom.zip in RUU mode, are you using a decrypted zip, or the original signed (encrypted) zip? (because with s-on, only the signed one will work)

Yeah, last time that was the solution (re-locking). This time, even after relocking, I still get the Error 155 (and it does show "RELOCKED" in the boot loader)
Getvar screenshot is attached.
The rom.zip was from HTCDev.com, so I'm guessing it is an original signed zip. It was just renamed to be more user friendly.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this helps, but I was able to get ADB working on my Mac at work. I tried sideloading the official ROM and also a CWM ROM. It copies over fine, but then there are errors when trying to install. It says it can't mount various things. I've attached a pic of that as well.

I can never find anything on HTCdev
Anyway, the .zip you got is probably a kernel source code, not an RUU, I don't think HTC release ruu.zips (as far as i know).
How are you running the EXE, cause looks like your on a Mac, (so you may be using a vm, and maybe that's the problem)?
Long story short, here's what I would do, remember you need an RUU.EXE version 4.19.1540.4 or higher, then run the RUU, once it opens up, it will have created a folder in %Temp% (eg on Win7, that would be usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp) there you will find a newly created folder (use sort by date modified to find it) within that folder you will find rom.zip (a 1GB+ file) which is the signed ruu.zip.
copy that to your fastboot folder, then you can exit the RUU.EXE which will delete the temporary folder i mentioned above
then on your mac:
./fastboot oem rebootRUU
./fastboot flash zip rom.zip
./fastboot flash zip rom.zip <- yes twice
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you want to see what kind of output to expect, to my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 and check post #7, it has a real life example of the above commands.

Thank you so much for the walkthrough! It could be that I have the kernel source code...I've attached a screenshot of what I downloaded (link is circled). One thing though - where do I get the RUU.exe that's 4.19.1540.4 or higher? The highest I see is 3.22.1540.1 on HTC Dev for the Developer Edition. There is a 100MB file that's 4.20.1136.8 (see screenshot) for the WWE region, just says "HTC One" without more detail. Should I use that, even though it's only 100MB?
I was running the RUU on a Windows laptop at home, but then switched to my Mac at work. I can boot into Windows 8.1 on the Mac as well, so I can do the RUU extraction portion there (assuming Win 8.1 isn't an issue).
I'll report back once I've tried these steps.
EDIT: I've found this RUU - will it work?

the first picture could very well be a ruu.zip due to the filesize, all the (at least HTC Sense editions) will be 1GB+ the other ones that are around 100MB are just kernel source codes,
but you can't use the 3.22 version cause that's a downgrade and only possible with S-Off.
just found one at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7 version 4.19.1540.9
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...8_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353887_signed_3.exe
this should work fine on even on Win 8.1 (without the need to extract it)
this will only work with a locked/relocked bootloader if you're sticking with S-On.

HTCGuru site is good too.
Good luck

It worked! I verified that fastboot was working and that the drivers were installed, relocked the bootloader, then ran the RUU.exe - and it finished without issue. I then unlocked the bootloader, and it doesn't say Tampered anymore
I can't thank you enough for the help. I wouldn't have guessed that you can't downgrade without being on S-OFF.

RUU.exe Error 155

So I've asked this question before and I remember people telling me an RUU is capable of removing an HBoot and installing a new one under the conditions that the CID and MID are matching the RUU. My phone is S-On and my HBoot is GPE, but my CID and MID are T-Mobile and I want to return back to stock T-Mobile Sense 5. The new RUU has an HBoot higher than my 1.54 GPE HBoot so it should work... I haven't unlocked my phone through the HTCDev site, if that matters; I unlocked it through adb commands on GPE but I've tried relocking it via adb commands and I still get the error when I run the .exe file... My device is not recognized on HTC Sync Manager and there is no status bar on the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" menu like the instructions says there will... I tried flashing GPE recovery and even Sense 5 recovery; neither worked... I'm on ARHD 3.06.1700.10 ROM because I can't seem to flash stock ROM due to S-On... I'm starting to think that I get the error because of the GPE HBoot and S-On... Am I just screwed? Is it not possible to run an RUU if you have a different HBoot and S-On at the same time? Is it an issue with my drivers? Or is it because I haven't unlocked my device on the HTCDev site?
I'm sure it's due to you not having unlocked the phone

Sorry about the late reply; since my phone is so messed up, I was trying to fix it with another route by doing Rumrunner S-Off first, but that isn't working out so well... So I'm back here trying to get past this error. The file in that thread cannot be used with my CID due to the .txt file inside the .zip file, and whenever I try to edit it with Notepad++ (the program that supposedly doesn't corrupt .txt files), it always corrupts the .txt file. Is it possible you or anyone (pretty please) could edit the .txt file inside the .zip file to have "T-MOB010" and send it to me somehow?
Edit: The download link is http://d-h.st/qfc by the way.

[Q] HTC ONE bootloop, no recovery, wrong CID, S-ON

Hi Guys,
1 month ago I chaged my HTC ONE into Google Play Edition. Then Yesterday I wanted to get it to stock sense.
What I did:
*) restore CID to HTC__032 (do not know if it is right CID, network: P4 play for Poland)
*) restore stock via TWRP
*) downgrade bootloader from 1.54 to 1.44
*) locked (reveone)
*) S-On
Now, my phone got always bootoader with a msg: "Security Warrinig"
Canno go to recovery - phone always reboots. System doesn't start.
I'm assuming that to repair my phone the first thing I have to do is S-OFF. I cannot do this via HTCDEV unlock file, every time when i fire "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin"
file is successfully sent and that's all. "Swipe - unlock" screen doesn't appear. As we know ADB PUSH won't work in fastboot mode.
How I can transfer reveone file into internal storage to get my phone s-Off again and corretley flash a bootloader (1.54)?
Regards.

so let me get this straight:
1- S-On
2- LOCKED
3- No functioning ROM
if yes, you're pretty much stuck
did you get a new unlocktoken from HTCdev or are you using the old one. try registering a new account with HTCdev and get a new unlock file.

yes, I have tried - no success.
At first, the HTC Dev Unlock does NOT give you S-Off. It just unlocks your bootloader. And why did you change your CID if you didnt know if it was the right one? Google will help you to find the right one.
In case this IS the right one, I dont think you need S-Off as you're able to flash a new Recovery without S-Off. Try HTC aio Tool for example or via adb/fastboot flash. If this worked you'll be able to flash a new firmware.
Good Luck

did you try with a new email account?
So you were s-off before then back to s-on. Or how you downgraded from 1.54 to 1.44 ? I am confused now
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Thank's for all your responses.
So:
 @nkk71 - tried with new account - still no success.
 @Frask3r - as long as I'm not able to run anything except bootloader: adb commant won't work(no way to perform push), fastboot only works.
 @polariscon - I wanted to flash my googles' bootloader with the orginal one from HTC, so I flashed via fastboot.
I can confirm that CID is correct one HTC__032. I do not know if it will help.
You can flash with fastboot commands

Ok.. so to do it, I need: RUU 1.29.401.12 Radio 4A.18.32.63.15 for model PN0710000.
This software version I have installed on my HTC ONE. As far as I know I cannot flash it with any other RUU.
Am I correct?

oh I just saw you downgraded to 1.44, try an RUU (windows exe) from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
which is compatible with your MID & CID (use fastboot getvar all, to determine MID & CID)
Hello.
I need help to fix my htc one.
I did delete everything on my internal sdcard. Cause i want to make it as new to give it to my girlfriend. But when i did that. Its stopped working. I've tried to use all in one kit by squabbi. But it won't work to change boot or anything. Maybe i did smt wrong.
When i turn on my htc one. Its stuck in boot. White screen with htc logo on it. I cant even turn it off again. I have to wait when the battery its empty. And then i can turn it on to fastboot. Before all that. I came into recovery and then its stands no OS on the phone.
But after i yried to fix it by myself then it will not be able to even touch the recovery. I push the screen,but nothing happend. I think i did it worse or smt. Pleas help if somebody can. It would be great.

After reading OP i think you have many things mixed up so plz clarify
What happens when you try to boot into recovery...if its stock recovery it takes some time for red triangle to appear.
Which "swipe-unlock" screen are you talking about in unlocking bootloader.
When using RUU zip try more than once sometimes it takes 2 - 3 tries to work

But you can still boot into hboot so it might not be all lost
When was the last time you able to boot normally (after each steps you mentioned in OP)
I'm Sorry for answering so late. My phone just came back from "local" GSM repair center.
So what they done?
They destroyed my back cover and using JTAG changed cid to: HTC_02_2 and version-main to 1.00.000.00
and they told me that I'm not able to flash my phone with any current ROM version because I have to wait for
the latest one.
I have tried to update my phone with RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4.exe on my own.
I changed my cid in android-info.txt but after "signatures checking" step i received error msg no 131 (customer id)
Now I'm wondering, if I will procceed with below steps:
*) change cid to: 11111111 (using JTAG)
*) still s-on (i cannot change it - bootloop)
*) bootloader locked
are there any chances to make it works again?
Cheers

Can you unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, root, and install a custom rom?
Then S-Off, and move to a HTC__001 based International HTC One RUU file.
What is your hboot version? or fastboot getvar all output?

Help me please! :(

My current situation is : M7_UL PVT Ship S- On Tampered relocked & unrooted again. No Rom installed, no backup, no recovery!
:'(
I tried installing RUU file but it failed, tried two/three different RUUs.
Also tried to achieve S-Off but maybe I'm to dumb & it didn't work.
I'm out of ideas, please help me

Im pretty sure you cannot boot into a custom recovery with S-ON
To remove the TAMPERED and LOCK the bootloader, you will have to S-OFF using rumrunner for hboot 1.5x or revone for hboot 1.44
The current Rumrunner can work with a custom rom e.g. the latest version of ARHD or Insertcoin ROM that has an unsecure kernel. To do this though you will have to unlock the bootloader using htcdev and install the custom rom and then S-OFF

Yeah you cant boot .img files any more with s-on or s-off htc removed it in the now HBOOT and fastboot.
Dont panic mate its really easy to fix
Simply download ARHD from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 make sure you have all the latest drivers and everything installed and rename the file to rom.zip you will need TWRP for this i believe and simply boot to recovery (TWRP) and push thw file to your sdcard using adb push rom.zip /sdcard (takes a while) simply flash arhd rom.
Once your phone boots you can use rumrunner.us to s-off the phone. Follow the instructions on their site. Once thats done boot to fastboot and use the command fastboot oem writecid 11111111 you will now have supercid and you can now flash any ruu you like. (unless you need to downgrade hboot.) If thats the case pm me and i can guide you through it on here.

Simply download ARHD from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 make sure you have all the latest drivers and everything installed and rename the file to rom.zip you will need TWRP for this i believe and simply boot to recovery (TWRP) and push thw file to your sdcard using adb push rom.zip /sdcard (takes a while) simply flash arhd rom.

Tbh I know in theory xposed should be dangerous but it's really not. I would defo s-off though you need to install the latest firmware which you will be missing and addresses a LOT of issues. S-off the device and I will show you how to upgrade the firmware

I used to use ARHD but I switched to maximus HD because of the OTA and the 360 camera mod.
So to upgrade firmware you want to boot into fastboot and type "fastboot getvar mid" write it down then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 and download the correct version against your mid.
Put it in your adb/fastboot folders and making sure your still in fastboot type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Once you phone boots into update mode you will see a HTC logo on your screen and nothing else.
Rename the firmware you just downloaded to firmware.zip and type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
It will say say failed pre hboot update flush image again. Simply type the exact same cmd again "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" and it will flash the latest firmware.
The progress bar on your phone probably won't go all the way up but as long as cmd says finished its done so just type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and if you look your main-os will have changed.
That's it.
Your on the latest firmware meaning all the Roms should run smoothly and you should have no more issues with exposed.

One thing I forgot to mention you need super cid so if you havn't already you need to be in fastboot and you need to type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" and then fastboot reboot-bootloader you cod should have changed to 11111111 allowing you to flash an ruu for any phone now.
Everything done, thanks for your help!

Yeah afraid so. Tbf I don't know of that is the case for every phone but the m7_ul UK edition couldn't get it to work on any device I tried after contacting a friend who I have inside HTC's repair centre he claimed the feature does not work with the latest hboot.
I might see if I can get some other devices from work to test this further and if it is true for all variants then maybe enroll on a workaround

Wouldn't it make sense to start a thread for a specific problem? It makes it easier when someone with a similar problem searches for it on the forums. That way, later you can refer to this thread when someone runs into the same troubles, instead of linking to a 40 page thread and say "Weed through pages 31-39 for the resolution"

Anyway, I finally got it to find the device, but it said it wasn't the proper ROM and had to abort...how do I get the right RUU tool?
That is dependant on your fastboot output. You need the RUU to match or exceed your main version and have to have the same CID.

There is already good guides for all the issues you encounter, so chances we will refer someone to this thread are slim.
What RUU are you trying to flash, can you post a link? Also an updated ''fastboot getvar all'' of your phone would help.
What OS are you using now? Still on your MAC? If on Windows which version are you using? XP, 7, 8.0, 8.1 ?

With s-off you can flash a ruu either with a locked/re-locked or unlocked bootloader.

fastboot flash zip <name_of_file>.zip

And tried with a different file
Gave the second command, and it started to write a whole bunch of files. 10 minutes later it said finished, and I rebooted. It boot looped a few times and was giving me the same crash at the homescreen. I was about the throw it across the room when it said "Activate device failed, click here to do it manually"
Followed the steps and the first text message came in, so now I'm installing Slimkat. It's given me a few errors now that it wasn't giving before, but I'll work through it and update.

Htc one m7 sprint stuck at Grey screen while trying to change cid

I was trying to change the cid of my m7 but after flashing some files it just stuck on this Grey screen.. the tutorial i was following said that i can use adb commands on this screen but i cant because this phone is recognised as malfunctioning now (after that adb command) in my pc with windows 10.. i don't know much abt these stuff but it would be really helpful if i can revive this phone.
If u need any info just le me know..ill post it asap.

Flashing files to change CID? CID can be changed using "fastboot oem writecid <your_desired_cid>", no file flashing required.
Are you talking about MID change? Hope you did not followed the crappy guide making users flash an eng bootloader?
And why are you trying to change your CID (or MID) on a Sprint phone?

There are much more up-to-date and safer guides to change your MID. Did you read to moderator comment (in red) before reading the guide? The last pages of the thread? The guide you just followed made you flash an engineering bootloader made for the Droid DNA, not even designed for the M7 (hence the gray screen). This bootloader version is 1.39 which mean it will not allow you to connect (use fastboot) with any Windows 8 or 10 computer. So from now you must use a Win 7, XP, Linux or Mac machine to be able to use fastboot commands.
If your goal was to restore the original Sprint MID and CID on your phone that's ok. If you are trying to change your MID/CID to something else than Sprint, this is totally useless since only Sprint RUU will flash correctly on a Sprint phone (no conversion possible for this variant).
What was the error when flashing the RUU?
The first step out of this will be to flash twrp recovery (the wls version) so you can revert your MID back to Sprint and flash an old sprint RUU or firmware.zip.

you'll first need to flash back a Sprint bootloader. Then flash twrp and revert your MID and CID back to sprint using twrp's terminal and finally flash a sprint RUU.
