stuck in boot mode - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys, I am stuck in boot mode after removing cyanogen mod, I have tried installing the RUU.exe but it will not complete - I think the reason for this is that S-ON. I can't seem to find a solution to achieve S-off anywhere without having to be into the phones OS.
I have tried pushing the rom to my phone but I just keep getting 'no device found'
The usb recognises the phone but the adb commands do not work at all
any further info suggested would be massively appreciated.
edit:
got adb commands working by following this guide
(not allowed to post links yet)

progress so far:
I have managed to sideload a relevant ROM but it has now been saying 'installing update' for quite a while and I am not sure whether to touch it
on another note, the image verification thing on this forum is very, very annoying.

ok so I sideloaded a ROM and it aborted the installation, totally at a loss now

Boot your phone in bootloader mode and type fastboot getvar all. copy/paste the output here except IMEI and SERIALNO. Also, I need to know what recovery you are using and its version and what custom rom and its version you are trying to flash.

I am using clockwork recovery, I was trying to flash a stock RUU zip - I could not find one to match my exact baseband version so I tried
"RUU Zip M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4.zip" but just got the message 'installation aborted' after sideloading
forgive me I can't paste links yet
I also tried the latest version of CM as this is what I was trying to revert back from this installed but just said 'installing' for nearly an hour then after I rebooted it left with a constant CM loading screen
I have a feeling I need S-OFF but can't seem to achieve through any of the methods described

Ruu.zip are not installed with a custom recovery/sideloaded!! It must be flashed via fastboot ruu mode. Anyway this ruu is not for your phone, its a .401 base and you need a .61 base ruu of same version or higher than 3.63.61.1 but afaik there is no ruu for your phone... BTW the 1.20.401.1 ruu is a pre-release version without OTA updates so it a bad idea to use it.

Either because of a bad rom/download or because your recovery version is outdated. Flash twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4. Also clear cache every time your flash something and md5 check your roms/recovery before you flash them.

S-OFF is not require to flash a custom rom like CM only if you want to convert your phone using a ruu not intended for your version.

[Q] [HTC One] Bricked after 4.4 update

I'm the next one in line with the same question, but no other answers helped me yet. What I did wrong was adb sideloading the OTA file using CWM recovery. That part I understand, so completely my own fault.
However, the update is still on the SD card and I tried to load stock recovery via fastboot so that I can install OTA from the SD card. What I get is something I find a lot of others have as well; the recovery fails to mount sd card 5 times. When I try to "Apply from SD card" I get an error "Check cid failed! --invalid operation--" and the phone reboots. The same error happens to users in many places, an example here: androidcentral . com/how-manually-update-your-google-play-edition-htc-one-android-44-kitkat
I think I can recover the phone with instructions (I can't post URLs yet) that will install a different recovery and uses adb sideload. But it also erases the sdcard which I try to avoid.
So, Is there anyone who can advice me what to do? If it cannot be avoided that my sdcard will be wiped; so be it. But I will manage doing that, I'm looking for an alternative at the moment. I suspect that if I find the correct recovery version that it will "mount" the "sdcard" (which I think is an emulation because the HTC One has no sdcard??) will also allow me to recover my phone with sdcard intact. But I find it difficult to find the correct recovery.img. I've tried two versions *can't find numbers back right now, will post if needed*.

Ruud, I don't know if I completely understand your story, but you are able to get into stock recovery right? If so, do not choose 'Apply from SD card', but 'Apply from phone'. I got the same error messages (fails to mount SD card...), but if the OTA file is on your phone, you have to choose phone storage.

I should have mentioned that the other options (apply from phone and apply from cache) don't work either. One thing I am unsure about is if this is indeed the stock recovery.img I put back on. Is there a single recovery.img for HTC One, or a list where I can find which one came standard so I can put it back. My suspicion is that that recovery will work, although the guy I bought the phone from may have installed recovery/images that may have reformatted everything in a way that stock won't work any longer...

Are you sure this is the GPe version? I get a feeling that you have the Sense version and then it won't work of course. (sorry if I'm wrong)
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've tried a whole range of things that didn't help. Don't want to preserve the sd card any longer.
Flashed recovery versions: 1.29.401.12, 2.24.401.8, 3.07.1700.1 and 3.58.1700.5.
Neither version was able to reinstall from sdcard. But I found out later that I may have done *something* to the sdcard (see CWM below)
Next I flashed CWM to try flashing a nandroid. However during the process I couldn't browse my sdcard anymore. Before flashing above recoveries I had CWM and then I could see all files. May have done something wrong.
After trying the mentioned nandroid a few times I realized that I am S-ON.
I have been trying to get S-OFF for the last few hours because I found a file I want to use on my phone (See htc1guru . com/2013/11/android-4-4-kit-kat-google-edition-3-58-1700-5-ruu-ota-files/). I've looked at Moonshine, but my phone is not in the list of supported rom versions (1.29.401.12). I tried Revone, but get error = 1.
So now I'm not sure what to do next!!

I am absolutely sure I have a Sense version originally. I bought it from someone who unlocked the bootloader and replaced the sense firmware with GPe. OTA was working because I OTA-ed to 4.3. I've contacted him this morning, but he says to have no idea what files he used.
you bought it from an idiot.
you can't properly convert to GPE with s-on. That's why your hboot, mainver and cid are all wrong for a GPE conversion.
I assume you're boot-loader unlocked? flash cwm or TWRP. Then restore this nandroid: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-htc__102-1-29-401-12-2013-05-16-zip/
after restoring that nandroid try to s-off with revone and or rumrunner.
Revone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Rumrunner: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488772
once your s-off you can properly convert your phone to GPE. The problem wasn't just that you flashed it with a custom recovery but that the phone was never in a proper state to receive OTA for GPE!
use the RUU from here once your s-off to convert to GPE 4.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
you'll also want to go supercid with fastboot oem writecid 11111111

I'm downloading all required files right now. In the meantime looking into everything to make sure to not further brick it once S-OFF. Tricky business!

There's one question I found: according to this thread SuperCid 11111111 doesn't get OTA and the best bet for me would be HTC__001. Is that correct, or can I also choose from HTC_001 or GOOGL001? (the latter I remember reading is supposed to be good too). In any case ... I suppose I can best follow your instructions and I can change the cid to whatever needed afterwards anyway.
edit: It took 1.5 hours to download the nandroid, but something must have gone wrong because the file cannot be opened by winzip nor 7z. After the failed opening of the file I've md5-ed the entire zip file and it doesn't match the checksum on the download link. So started download again...
I have a problem; the download stops at different points, never completing. Must be a problem in the connection or at htc1guru. Is there an alternative file/download/mirror I can use as well? Have searched google for the same file with no results.
I was finally able to download the file through FF. Every time the download failed I started again, but paused and replaced the .part file with the failed download. When you resume FF detects the last bit and resumes from there. Best part was that I got my Chrome 900+MB download and used that as .part file. So I could resume nearly finished. Ran the checksum to be sure nothing funny had happened because of my tinkering. To quote Borat: great success.
However, after restoring the nandroid through CWM I tried both Revone and Rumrunner. Revone fails error = 1 and Rumrunner assumes I start from my homescreen (which I can't). A bit unwise, but I tried anyway from both fastboot and CWM but in neither case will Rumrunner continue. It claims there is no ADB connection (even though the phone shows up in adb devices).
So I am stuck for now. Still looking at as many posts about S-OFF as I can to see if I find some vital piece of inof I missed or something I can still try. But for now I'd like some idea's how to achieve S-OFF..
What is the date in your hboot version? If after June, then revone won't work. Have you tried moonshine?

hboot has a date? Hboot is 1.44 and bootloader start screen says apr 12 2013, is that what you mean?
My version (1.29.401.12) is not supported by moonshine for as far as I can tell.
I also notice now that fastboot getvars bootmode says: fastboot. Shouldn't this be disabled for revone and/or rumrunner?

Just a question: In a sense I can't have messed anything up that bad because I'm S-ON. So if I would install the 4.3 release that was on the device before I sideloaded the 4.4 OTA through CWM, wouldn't it just work because all things point to the correct places? Since I broke it with adb sideloading, I could restore the device probably just as well, right?
In any case; I still would want to S-OFF my device to go through ipfreelytech's steps and get a functioning 4.4 GPe. But So far I found that Moonshine doesn't support my device and for both rumrunner and revone I need to start from a booted up android homescreen. So all three options don't seem to work. Did I really brick my phone, or is there still hope??
I had same problem on my device. I decided to install CWM instead of TWRM, downloaded RUU 4.2.2 and flashed it. Next I get update to 4.3 and 4,4 later and now everytning works perfect.

Willing to try, but I don't see the RUU file needed on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276 nor on htc1guru.com. This should be done through fastboot oem rebootRUU, right? If everything works I'm don. if OTA or some functions don't wrok I maybe able to S-OFF and follow previous instructions till the end. And if it doesn't work I'm back to where I am now anyway.

[Q] Soft-Bricked HTC One - Want to go 100% stock again.

Solved thanks to @alray
Ok so the other day I tried going to Android 4.4 Google edition with a rom but s-off never worked. Without noticing s-on I tried installing the rom which soft bricked the phone (Starts up goes past HTC logo and flashes google logo then the screen goes blue).
I made the obvious mistake of not making a back up so I'm stuck. I have access to Bootloader & Recovery. I've tried installing RUU files but the ones I've tried so far get stuck at 7% 'Checking Header'. I'm just looking to get back to a working phone... Any help is appreciated.
If I'm missing any info you need let me know, I'm new to this...
Thanks.
More info:
I'm in Ireland, Europe.
The phone works with different sim cards (So I assume it must be unlocked).
RRU's I've tried:

the ruu failed because you need s-off to use them with hboot 1.55 (require hboot downgrade to 1.44 which require s-off)
so now your best option is tu install a guru reset. Use this file
boot your phone into your custom recovery and push the file I linked above to your sd card. then install the .zip file with your custom recovery and follow instruction from the graphical user interface (aroma installer)

This may sound silly but, do you know if I need to buy the 'On the go usb cable' like in his video? I dont think I do since he was running a 1.29.xxx (doesnt support touch screen) but I'll be running a 3.62.401.1 (he doesnt specify if I need one or not...) Just want to make sure before doing anything.
Thanks.

Move the .zip file to your fastboot/adb folder. boot your phone in recovery. then:
Code:
adb push name_of_file.zip /sdcard/
then in recovery select ''install'' and slect the zip you pushed
no need to use otg cable
@alray I'm getting 'Device not found' When I try to do anything with ADB... Any Idea of the problem?

Fixed it, I just changed computer... My phone works perfectly and is returned to stock! :good:
Thanks a million @alray!

So confused - OTA Updates & Rooted/Modified M7 - please help!

Hi all,
My girlfriend has a HTC One M7, currentley Rooted with an Unlocked bootloader, Bulletproof Kernel, CWM Recovery, S-On (can't get S-OFF no matter what I try) and running the stock 4.4.2 Sense ROM that came with the phone.
She wants to install an OTA update, obviously this won't work with the phone in it's current state. I've got experience with all of this with my Note II, but the M7 is just a whole different can of worms.
What I've tried:
Getting S-OFF (no luck whatsoever with any tools)
Flashing stock recovery and kernel
Flashing stock recovery and kernel and applying the OTA manually via recovery
I've read everything on here and nothing seems to go in. She just wants to be able to install OTA updates, even if it means unrooting her phone permanently as this will happen each time there is an OTA update.
Someone, please guide me in the right direction! Step by step maybe?
Keep in mind there is no way I can't get S-OFF.
Huge thanks to anyone that can help. I'd be eternally in your debt!!

I suppose the phone is trying to apply to ota update and then show a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside?
What I've tried:
Getting S-OFF (no luck whatsoever with any tools) Any error message when trying to S-OFF? You must use the correct tool for your hboot version (probably firewater) + combination of the correct rom + kernel
Flashing stock recovery and kernel --> You must have stock recovery for ota, ota will not install using a custom one.
Flashing stock recovery and kernel and applying the OTA manually via recovery --> appyling the ota manually from stock recovery require s-off

Interesting. I don't have the phone with me at the moment and it's late but I'll try to do the POWERUP + VOL tomorrow at some point, I'll get her to try stock recovery + kernel then do it and see what it's stopping at.

Didn't get that message, just keeps going indefinetley or stops, and doesn't S-OFF. Tried Firewater, Revone, RumRunner, if there is another then I've almost certainly tried it, followed all the guides including the one that flashed Android Revolution...no idea..

your version-main? (rom version) Go in settings --> About --> Software info --> Rom version
maybe there is a ruu you could use to restore the phone(4.19.401.9), if it match your version
---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------
you can also flash the stock 5.11.401.10 rom, recovery and firmware available on ARHD website

4.19.401.11
What exactly is the function of the RUU? I can't seems to get my head around it..
I'm guessing the ARHD steps are to try to get S-OFF?

forget the ruu, your phone version is higher than the ruu. flashing a ruu (4.11.401.10) with a lower version than on your phone(4.11.401.11) require s-off.

No, this is the latest stock rom(5.11.401.10) for your phone model (MID: PN0710000 and CID:HTC__001) including android 4.4.2 and sense 6.0
You can flash this stock odexed rom(5.11.401.10) from custom recovery, then flash the stock recovery(5.11.401.10) over the custom one and your phone will be stock and ready to take future ota update. You may also want to update firmware to 5.11.401.10
So after flashing that rom and stock recovery, ota would be ready to roll? Would the kernel matter?
What's the purpose / Difference of firmware and how is it updated? On my note II it was just choose a rom choose a kernel and off you go. This is so much more involved

stock kernel in included in the rom (boot.img) so if you don't flash any other kernel it should be fine.

firmware is all the low level code required for your phone hardware to works with the software (OS)
when speaking about HTC phone, firmware.zip include HBOOT(bootloader), BOOT(kernel), Recovery, Radio and some other stuff. if you want your phone to be 100% stock you need both stock rom + stock firmware to match the same version i.e 5.11.501.10
normally, the firmware is updated at the same time the rom version is updated (from an ota update) If you flash a rom, the rom will be updated but not the firmware.
Updating the firmware manually can be dangerous is you don't know what you are doing and flashing the wrong file. You can update firmware using this command from bootloader (with the correct firmware.zip package in the same folder you have adb and fastboot):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
also it looks like flashing a 5.x.xxx.x firmware over a 3.x.xxx.x firmware will brick your phone. from what i see, your phone should be on a 4.x.401.x version at the moment, so it theory it should be fine.
Fails on:
>>>setting permissions
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/0/one_5.11.401.10_odexed.zip
(status 7)
Tried 3 different versions of cwm. Bad rom download?
Thinking about it I just re read your above post, could it be because the firmware isn't matched? I read your 'it should be fine' as 'dont update the firmware' not 'its fine to update' which I think is what you meant...
Firmware is 4.19.401.11 however the rom is 5.11.401.10. Can't believe I overlooked this, guess firmware needs to be 5.11.401.10 for the rom to take?

No you are using CWM thats the problem. always use TWRP 2.6.3.3

[Q] One M7 GPE 5.0.1 No IMEI, Baseband

Hi everyone,
So, I upgraded my wifes M7 to a 4.4.4 GPE ROM from a Rogers stock ROM. I unlocked the bootloader from HTCDev and then got S-OFF with firewater. All went swimmingly, until we got the two OTAs for Lollipop. About 4 days ago, the service went out on the phone. In settings, there is no IMEI or Baseband listed, they both say unknown. I checked in fastboot with the getvar all command and the IMEI is there. I tried flashing the radio from the 5.0.1 OTA file, but it says "command rejected" to which it SOUNDS like my S-OFF isn't there anymore, even though the getvar and fastboot screen show it S-OFF.
Here is the getvar output:
C:\Users\Jeff>fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.54.0000

(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
finished. total time: 0.114s
So, where do I go from here... It's pretty coincidental that this happened RIGHT around the time that the M7s had the audio bug, but this doesn't sound like the same issue. I think reflashing the radio would work, but it keeps kicking me back, and I've read around here and am unsure of how to re-SOFF the phone. Any help would be appreciated. My wife is not beyond putting the Rogers RUU back on and just waiting for an official GTC update to Lollipop... if that's easier.
Thanks everyone.
First of all try to wipe all phone(full stock reset) and install android gpe 5.0.1 in recovery(you can find it on forum easy) than write me and say if you still have wrong baseband and imei(also probably your phone is not abble to read simcard numbers?)
If fastboot displays the proper imei, best guesses sounds like there is something wrong with the rom or radio that is causing it to report the incorrect imei.
If you have a custom recovery installed (since it appears you are s-off) you could just backup that current rom, wipe/factory reset it to see if it works and if it was something that borked up during the update.
If it still reports the incorrect imei after factory reset, try flashing some known working rom (cm11, omni, etc) and see if everything's working fine in there. Restore your backup after you are done.
That would confirm it's a software-related issue and you can proceed from there.
Tried Factory Reset
So I tried a factory reset from fastboot... no nice. I actually have the stock recovery on the unit so I could receive OTAs from google and not have to jigger around with anything (since it's my wifes phone) ... I THINK I'm S-OFF, but the fact that I couldn't flash a radio.img file in fastboot has me worried that the 5.0.1 update may have partially rescinded it, and I don't want to make things worse by something borking in the middle of a flash.
Would an RUU be the way to go here? Or just try stuffing TWRP onto it and try CM11 ...
if you confirm it's soff, or just even htcdev unlocked (as fastboot would say) you can always flash back stock recovery if you decide to change your mind.
You can extract the recovery img from a working stock rom/ruu, in the meantime flashing twrp/philz opens you for advanced recovery options.
You just flash the recovery in fastboot mode.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-etc.img
fastboot flash recovery nameofstockhtcrecovery.img
As for the radio, not sure what to say. Perhaps try extracting it (from your update file if possible) and flash it from there?
Still no dice
So I flashed TWRP and CM11 ... still no baseband or IMEI. I found a few flashable zips for radio images and still nothing.
I relocked my bootloader, and tried to push a Rogers RUU signed exe, to which I got Error 158 Image Error. No other information is given. I am going down in versions, but as far as I can see, my S-OFF is still in effect.

Now you can flash any RUU
Flash your Rogers RUU (after you confirm the md5 matches), and report back :good:
Update: Cannot flash RUU
Hi Again,
So I set SuperCID and tried to reflash the RUU. It got a little further, but hung on the "checking headers" but for almost an hour... so I reset the phone since I had to leave for XMas plans. Now, it gives me an error 155 Image Error when I try to use it. I've seen elsewhere that might need to downgrade my hboot? Since I'm on 1.57.0000? Any ideas about that? Thanks

HTC ONE Bootloop

Hello,
I hope somebody can help me with a new HTC One. It stucks in bootloops. Sometimes I can get to the lockscreen: But when I unlock the device the HTC-logo shows up and the phone restarts again. Some ideas to solve my problems? I thought I could flash the ruu with fastboot? but it failed - well, maybe it was the wrong firmware or did another mistake..
The device is locked - so no recovery and no root, but I can reach the bootloader
Hboot 1.57.0000
firmware 5.12.206.3
UPDATE
Oh well. It is an O2-model.. so I need an O2-ruu and if I can't find an O2-ruu I can't unbrick my phone??!!

1st of all delete IMEI No & serial number from your post above
Go to bootloader select recovery
In recovery wipe cache and restart
( If recovery not show menu then press volume up 1st + power button 2nd for 5 secs then leave power button then volume it will show menu )
If wipe cache not working you have to factory reset your phone from bootloader
This problem arises when any installed app trouble with boot or corrupt app data
Thanks for your reply..
but nothing worked. I opened the bootloader and installed cwm. After that I tried to restore an old backup, which I found on the Internet and flashed a custom rom as well... :S
Oh now it boots
But every 2 min my device reboots... ??

what backup version? If using a backup it must be the same version as your firmware (version shown in bootloader).
You should try to flash a custom like ARHD 83, easiest way to get your device booting again. (use TWRP 2.6.3.3)
There is no RUU for this version, so forget RUU unless you want to convert your phone to another version (s-off required)

hmmm, I already tried AHD 83. but I still get reboots very often
Yes there is no RUU. I thought I could maybe try to get s-off, change the cid and install another RUU.. But I dunno if it would solve my Reboot-problem.. Maybe, but I do not want to pay 25 bucks for nothing (sunshine - HBoot 1.57)

If you achieve S-Off to flash a Ruu, and your phone still have the rebooting issue, then youll know its an hardware problem. 25$ worth it imo
