[Q] HTC One BootLoop and No access to Storage - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have unlocked my HTC one using HTC dev tool. Rooted with Hboot. However, i had a problem while doing s-off. I followed the procedure from one youtube channel and it was very thorough and understandable for an amateur user like me. However, my one big mistake is that I assume the procedure works perfectly and hence, i continued with flashing a Google Edition Rom. What makes it worse is that , i didn't back up the storage. Then, this 'BootLoop' problem happens.I have tried some tools that push the Rom from PC to the phone. It doesn't work.
Now, I'm using HTC one tool kit by Squabbi to solve the problem.
But, my the adb devices is missing from PC device manager.
Somebody please be kind to save me and my HTC One.
Thanks a million times

First of all, don't use a toolkit. Go into the bootloader then select fastboot. Then on your computer, open up cmd and type "fastboot devices". If that works, just post here again and I'll try to help.
If that doesn't work, you either don't have the proper drivers, or something else is wrong. The last resort would be to flash the RUU for your model. That almost always works, but will wipe everything.
EDIT: The reason why it says adb device not found is that the phone needs to boot in order to use usb debugging. If it doesn't boot, then it will never work. So do what I said above and let me know the result.

[Q] HTC ONE Sprint ROM issues

[SOLVED] (Many thanks to BigDaddy619)
Hey guys, first post here.
So I've been reading around this forum and all over the internet and can't find a solution to this problem.
Sprint HTC ONE
S-on
v31.120.274.0617
I had CyanogenMod 10.2 Nightly installed but I was getting some serious network connectivity issues (I've seen others run into this problem as well). Not knowing what to do because I'm still fairly new to tweaking with phones, I tried to go back to the stock ROM. To my dismay the stock ROM backup was now gone.
I thought "no problem" and downloaded the stock HTC one sprint variant ROM and flashed it. Here is where my troubles began:
TWRP said that it had installed correctly, I rebooted only to get a black screen. Now all I can get to are TWRP (which I had to reinstall to get to) and Recovery. This would normally be easy to fix by just flashing another ROM. But when I connect the phone to my computer it makes the connection noise and nothing shows up. I tried using adb commands to move a new ROM to the phone but every command I have tried just comes up with (no device found).
I also tried using an OTG cable and thumb drive with a ROM on it and TWRP says that the thumb drive is empty (it is formatted correctly).
If anyone could give me a hand getting out of this I would very much appreciate it.
This is now solved, if you are having a problem similar to this, check your drivers then contact bigdaddy619.

Im not sure if this will help, but if you can get into bootloader mode and run the appropriate RUU.
Or you could do an adb sideload.

[Q] Device not recognized in fastboot

i have a sprint htc one.
i unlocked the bootloader via htcdev site.
then flashed latest twrp (v2.6.3.0, clockwork wouldn't flash)
flashed latest supersu.
then obtained s-off through xda (hboot 1.55 before then 1.44 after. maybe did something wrong?)
having issues with "no sim card - 4g lte will not work as sim/uicc is removed. please insert sprint sim/uicc into the device"
tried to relock it so i cant take it in to get that fixed.
did the adb oem lock thing to obtain 'tampered' 'relocked'
tried to flash RUU 1.something.7 and 1.something.10
the RUU 1.something.10 wouldn't even try to go
then the RUU 1.something.7 (also it said current image was 3.something but i couldn't find a RUU for 3.something) tried and failed in the middle
since that failure my phone isn't recognized while in fastboot, but works to access all the files on it
so i'm stuck on s-off hboot 1.44 'tampered' 'relocked' but my supersu seems to still function ok (titanium backup works) and i can still boot into recovery twrp.
my short term goal is to get back to 100% stock to get my simcard issue resolved through sprint or htc or whatever, i don't know what that's about.
my long term goal is to have my 4g working/simcard thing fixed running a custom rom. ie cyanogenmod or something 4.4 kitkat.
any help would be awesome, thank you guys!
Just an FYI, 100% stock is not needed to have Sprint look at it. You can have an unlocked/tampered bootloader and custom recovery and still be within Sprint's S&R policy for warranty issues. However, your ROM must be stock (can still be rooted) so that the technicians are not faced with issues potentially related to poor/incompatible ROM development and code. Essentially, the Sprint tech will want to do a hard reset on the device, and it will need to appear to be stock after the reset so that they can rule out the software causing the issue. If they give you any hassle about the root, tell them to check their M&Ps.
Grab a Stock Rooted ROM and try to flash in recovery, see if that works.
sorry, guess i left out that i been to sprint once for this already, and they said they fixed it yet it came back only 2 days later. but in between those 2 days is when i did all the rooting supersu and s-off cause i thought i was done with them for now. i thought that since the problem was persisting that they might have to check with or send to htc and then they would see it unlocked and rooted etc.
anyway, i haven't actually flashed any roms yet so i should still be stock + rooted. but i'll do as you suggested.
thank you!
Are you on Windows 8 or 8.1?
I'm running windows 8.1. i've been able to work on the phone with windows 8.1 until just recently with the problem i described. also i just flashed a stock rooted rom for 3.04.651.2 (first link in second post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467607 )
my phone is near dead so i'm charging now before i try testing fastboot again.
also, was there a known issue using windows 8.1? when my phone stopped responding in fastboot i noticed that i couldn't get the htc sync thing to open anymore either. but ican still access data on phone from pc normally.
edit: still getting devices not recognized when i plug my phone in while in fastboot =\
When running and RUU from 3.04 to an older version you will have issues right now with fastboot after the RUU reboots the device into RUU mode. If you go from 3.04 to 3.04 then you will have no issues whatsoever, trust me. I have had the same issues but fixed them by thanking the people who hooked us up with the 3.04 RUU link.

Also, one more thing. In order for you to get fastboot working again you just need to uninstall forms of anything HTC as far as drivers and sync. No need to reinstall fastboot and adb add-ons from SDK though. Once you do this you will be golden but dont forget to unplug your device. . . at the same time people dont think to also go into Device Manager and select "View" and enable "Show hidden devices" and this will show you all of the drivers that have been installed even if they are unplugged so look at all of the categories that any HTC One drivers can be installed in to ensure you havent forgotten any of them and then start over by reinstalling the HTC Drivers all over again.

that's all i'll need to do? that'd be great! i'll try that now. also, thank you for telling me how to find the drivers, i have done that for something before, but completing forgot how i got to that. Thank you! i'm deleting away right now!
edit: well i went ahead and deleted all the htc stuff off my pc and then went to the htc site to download the latest htc sync. but i got an error when trying to install it.. "1152: error extracting to the temporary location" i ran it as admin and i have like 700bg of free space.. wth? =\
edit: went and plugged the phone in and let the drivers auto detect/install that way. tried fastboot and still isn't being recognized...
There are compatibility issues between HTC Sync and Windows 8.1 from what I have read, though I am not sure that the issue you are having falls into this category. Do you have another PC available to try this on?
no other pc available that doesn't have windows 8.1
i followed some instructions to use adb with ubuntu (partitioned and install ubuntu along side win8.1 specifically for my phone) followed instructions and either i don't know what i'm doing because i don't know a thing about linux anything or it isn't being recognized that way either. =\

[Q] HTC One Soft/Bricked Boot Loop

Hi Everyone
I humbly approach you today with a HTC One issue, that needs solving as I have no phone as a result.
So to put it simply I Unlocked and Rooted my device through this guide .
/watch?v=kJYAS2KN17Y
Following that I proceeded to gain S-OFF, or at least I believe I did. Checked the Bootloader after and it said S-ON :S Through this guide.
/watch?v=NeFwsqU4YL4
All seemed well up to this point, so then I followed to this guide to install 4.4 KitKat on my HTC One (I am based in the UK, and the network my phone runs in is O2).
/watch?v=AySbx90YB-s
However as it turns out, my phone will now turn on, I will reach the default Android Language Selection menu, and my phone reboots automatically before I can even press anything. I have tried to re-install the "bigxie_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip" several times, and nothing has come from it.
So I attempted to restore my stock HTC rom, using the "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_A4.13.3231.27_10.31.11131.05_release_310878_signed.exe" and it fails every time, and it also detects no image when I run it, it simply shows what image it will install.
Additionally I tried all possible USB ports on my computer to check for a faulty USB port with RUU, I have tried to push "Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip" through CMD (I am running windows of course) and naturally it hasn't worked (the push). Having not made a Backup because I blindly followed the tutorials, I have nothing to go back to.
I think the problem is that S-ON is enabled and I can't seem to find how to solve it, or enable S-OFF using the AIO Toolkit and pushing Revone. Anything that could help me get my phone working, and hopefully with stock Android will be greatly valued. Thank you for taking the time to read this .
Do not lock bootloader

I am not so good at android but.......a way to S-OFF HTC One would be using this video - /watch?v=MCMJkVbIiIg
It basically uses rumrunner to do so and for me it worked flawlessly
Hope you can fix your One soon.
FIXED!

Thank you for replying guys!
I actually managed to fix it by pushing TWRP instead of CWR and then installed Android_Revolution_HD-One_31.6.zip got my OS back and now trying to enable S-OFF.
:good:

Gratioz!!!!! Good luck for getting S-OFF.
I used rummrunner to get S-off. Works like a charm. Takes a bit of time to do it though, don't close it whilst it's doing it's thing!

A Hot Mess, Need Help - M7, S-On, Trouble with ADB

The Whole Story:
So yesterday I successfully upgraded my HTC One M7 to Lollipop for the first time. I was very excited because the UI is awesome. However, my cellular service didn't work. I read that this is because the firmware was out of date.
In trying to update said firmware, somehow I wiped the internal storage of my device (I know...) including my backup. But that doesn't really matter that much... because while using the HTC One Toolkit I also managed to idiotically turn S-ON! So I can't get into recovery anyway...
So I've been trying to get S-Off with firewater because if I can just get into recovery I can install an older backup I have from last year and then get a new ROM and try this circus all over again in a few weeks when my brain is hopefully not dumb. And that is where I've run into trouble with adb.
In the adb console I can see my phone's serial but it always is listed as offline. In fastboot, however, it is listed fine. I have tried so so many things, but at this point I'll try and re-try anything all over again just to get this to work.
Honestly, I'm surprised this thing isn't brIcked by now with all the f--k ups I've had in the past two days.
TL; DR: I royally messed up and accidentally turned S-On. Not sure if it is related, but now adb lists my HTC as offline while fastboot seems to recognize it fine. I can also access all my files on the phone from Windows.
One thing that (I think) is an important detail is that I cannot seem to get the RSA prompt to appear when I plug my phone into Windows with debugging mode on. I have never used this computer with this phone before, so I know it isn't saved or anything (maybe it's worth clearing the RSA keys anyway?).
What I've tried so far:
-Downloaded latest drivers from HTC (2.0.7.29 from 3/3/15)
-Installed Android Studio and updated Google USB Drivers and Platform Tools
-Rebooted Computer and Phone Multiple times
-Unplugged and re plugged USB cord
-Unchecked and rechecked USB debugging
Please...Please, I desperately need people who are better at this than I am.

maybe flashing the boot.img and stock recovery of the firmware you are into will help you!

Thanks for the tip. Does flashing a boot.img and stock recovery require adb? Currently, that is where my main setback is.
If it doesn't require adb, can you point me into the direction of the right keywords to Google to find out how to do that?

HTC one M7 TWRP problem. No OS installed. Please Help

I bought an unlocked htc one m7 that workd with my carrier.
I then go home to find out the google play store wont open no matter the steps i tried to get it to work.
Clearing the cache, restarting ect. Accessing android file transfer. Nothing worked.
I called htc and they told me to call google. google told me to do a hard reset. When i did that. i went into twrp mode, which is when i realized the phone was rooted. I then did a complete whipe of absolutely everything. Wrong move on my part.
I should have done factory reset within the normal bootloader screen itself. However i did, and i deleted the OS accidentally and the phone doent say its rooted anymore. When i do a restart twrp asks me if i want to root my phone as it is not rooted and i think teh SuperSU has been removed as well. However, on the normal bootloader options screen from holding teh power button and the volume down button it still says unlocked and tampered on the top.
Anyways, my question is. I am trying to either flash a stock jelly bean rom (my preferred software) onto the phone, or just lock teh bootloader and flash the RUU.
My phone connects to my pc and says fastboot usb. My computer doesnt recognize it through htc sync manager ect. But it says that.
What do i need to use ADB sideload on my mac?
Do i have to install ADP and SDK tools on my mac? How do i use teh terminal commands, what is the process?
Should i just relock the bootloader adn install the RUU?
Can i instal a previous verson such as the 4.3 jellybean original software for the htc one m7 through a stock RUU?
Will installing the RUU give me the latest version of OS for the m7? Cause i want jellybean.
Please answer each of these questions with as much info as you are willing to give. That would be greatly appreciated.
Will post pictures if requested as i have another htc one m7 i can take pictures with, i am first time posting so not sure how.
