[Q] HTC One Bricked (bootloop)

Hello folks,
During update from Revolution HD 3.4 to 3.5 something went wrong and process stopped before it got finished. Now I ended up in bootloop, even recovery is not working. I've tried to use RUU but failed on CID verification as I'm having the phone from 3 IE. Is any chance to bring it back to life or i just got very expensive paper weight ?
Or if anyone can provide RUU for 3 IE I'm willing to pay for it.
Bad day, bad day...
Thank you for any advice.

I can see the recovery screen (clockworkmod) for about 0.1 second and it reboots again.

Thanks, for hint. Got recovery working again
What I have done.
1.) Unlocked, re-locked bootloader.. (i think this did the trick, full wipe ?)
2.) Wiped cache
3.) Re-flash clockworkmod
4.) Upload ROM using sideload.
Now the phone is back. I hope i will not break something again.

Hi, I am having the same issue with my phone as of right now. I tried re-locking bootloader and then unlocking again and also reflashing clockwork and I am still getting the bootloop and cannot access recovery (flashes for 0.1 secs and then disappears).
What exactly did you do to fix the issue?

Hi Riyal,
I have fixed that issue with fastboot erase cache. Now, I am having a problem loading a ROM because it states in recovery that it "can't mount SD card"?

Figured it out, I just had to ADB push a stock rom and then re-wipe/re-flash

I had the same problem, going to try to sideload this stock de-odexed rom (didn't work the first few times) and CHILL THE PHUCK out until AOKP.
scared me lol first HTC device, brand new, and I thought I broke it.
P.S I realized that REVOHD uses AROMA, that's why it wouldn't sideload.... Am I Rite?

My HTC One device is actually suffering the same problem.
I bought my HTC One Sprint(Sim-Free Edition) in the US and got it to India.
But after I inserted my Indian Sim it said ''SIM LOCK ENABLED''.....I just got frustrated and
rooted the device and tried to install ''Android RevolutionHD (Odexed)'' Stock ROM with the help of TWRP.
But after I installed the stock rom, my device is just showing the HTC symbol and hanging there itself.
It Hangs there for around 6-7mins and reboots and the same happens again.
The only thing I can do is to get in to the bootloader and Power OFF the Device.
Any Help???? Please..... just having a costly paper weight since 2 weeks.
Please need help urgently....!!!

Hi
Greetings,
Did you flashed boot.IMG if no
Extract the boot.img from the Rom
Copy that file to abd/fastboot folder
Now connect you phone with pc with your phone booted in fastboot/bootloader,
Later flash boot.img by following command
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Reboot and your done
If you do not know how to use abd search for it

The Sprint version is never going to work on any carrier other than Sprint. It's a CDMA device. The sim slot if for connecting to Sprint's LTE network, but requires a CDMA connection first and foremost to work at all.

I'm stuck on the same boat :\
I was able to finally boot into CWM recovery but I'm getting write errors all over the place.
I used the AIO Kit to re-lock the bootloader and unlock it - Reflashed CWM - Tried to sideload ARHD 10.0 but the DOS prompt errors out saying that it cannot find my device.
Little help?

i was going through the same thing yesterday and i thought i had bricked my phone. what i did that finally worked, was unplugging the usb, restarting the computer, reinstalling htc drivers, then restarting the computer, then using a different usb port. i was finally able to sideload ARHD whereas before i could do fastboot commands, but it wasn't responding to the sideload, and wasn't able to mount the sdcard, so i thought i was screwed. :good:

Thanks for the tip, I was able to get back into AROMA but the original issue that got me to this point came up again. Aroma installer runs and during the install it kicks itself out and sends me back to recovery, so the installer doesn't complete. It gets to about 30% and craps out just after it writes system data and starts to install the .apk's. Screen goes black and it reboots itself and sends me to recovery.
thoughts?

For those of you deleting internal data in TWRP

For one, stop doing that. but, mistakes are made, so here are a couple ways to get around not having a Mount Internal Storage option in TWRP
Okay guys. a lot of you seem to have issues, as did I when I first attempted. If you happen to wipe your internal memory here are a couple ways to go about fixing that.
here's a step by step. make sure you have USB debugging on.
METHOD 1, RESTORE TO STOCK UNROOTED, LOCKED(then start over from scratch I suppose.)
Download the AIO Tool Kit and extract. anywhere
Hasoons AIO Toolkit
Download the Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.7_encrypted_ROM.zip and rename it to something short such as lol.zip(that's what I used, just rename it lol, not lol.zip, if you rename to lol.zip it will show up as lol.zip.zip.) and place it at the root of your c:/ drive, so c:/lol.zip
Navigate to the AIO toolkit folder you extracted, Open the One.exe. At the bottom, click reboot into bootloader and then do command.
Hold shift and right click then click Open Command Window Here.
when the command line opens up type
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip c:/lol.zip
If you get a message about flushing, then retype the last command, "fastboot flash zip c:/lol.zip"and it should work
METHOD 2, ADB SIDELOAD A ROM USING hasoon's AIO toolkit.
Try sideloading the rom.
Unlock bootloader and install twrp
Download your rom, Open up hasoons AIO toolkit and select sideload a rom.
The AIO will ask you to boot into recovery and hit sideload.
On your One, go to advanced settings, sideload a rom.
Next you can navigate to the rom on your PC with AIO and select rom. I used vipers. It will sideload it for you and start to flash in TWRP

Whats the issue happening here? When doing a factory reset(clean wipe) its wiping everything?

Negative. I'm finding a ridiculous amount of posts in other threads about people ACCIDENTALLY wiping their internal storage. The only thing that will wipe internal storage is selecting internal storage in advanced wipe settings. not a bugs fault. Its pebkac.

Ok i see. I know its a option in advance wiping now but why would people even select that?

Lack of attention to detail. It really is scary how many people have posted in so many different threads about it. I know some are by simple mistake, but its getting crazy.

Attention to detail may have found your thread in the Q/A, help and troubleshooting forum where it belongs. Just saying...
Please be kind to others, Thanks!

I'm fairly certain QA Help & troubleshooting is for asking for help and troubleshooting.
Needless to say I am being nice. I'm posting this to help these people.

Offering to help like you do says a ton for sure. Thanks! I believe one of the guys over there hit on a fix for his phone which is pretty sweet too.

Indeed. TWRP ADV side load wasn't working with his device but CWM Side load did!

I have not had any problems(knock on wood) using superwipe

One problem with your instructions. If the user has changed their folder options to show file extensions, then renaming the file to lol (without the .zip) will create a file lol with no extension. Might want to add some additional instructions in there to cover that scenario.

I'm having some problems. I recently got this htc one for sprint off craigslist and tried to do a factory reset. The person didnt tell me the phone was rooted and I have never done any of this but I should have still known enough to not delete everything when the twrp page came up. Well, I did and deleted the OS. Ive been doing a lot of research but theres so many different thing Im a bit confused. I've tried a few things but I'm having trouble even getting the computer to recognize the phone. I've gotten the furthest with your post I think but it says error: device not found from the one.exe. From what I see I may need to set the phone to allow usb debugging, but I cant find anything on where to do that from twrp. I also ordered one of the otg usb cables but dont want to wait a week to get the phone working if I dont have to. Any suggestions?

ADB is enabled in twrp by default. Are you trying the RUU method or sideloading method?
And have you installed the HTC drivers?

I'm pretty sure I've tried both methods, though all I know about all this is from the past 24 hours of trying to figure out what happened. I cant download the drivers on my computer. When I plug it in in either recovery mode or the screen that says tampered, unlocked, fast boot, etc., the phone isnt even recognized as being plugged in and when I reset the phone from twrp and plug it in, it will only download some of the drivers but then when I go to the command it says error and doesnt recognize the phone.

[Q] One is stuck in bootloader

I just got my HTC One less than a week ago, rooted and flashed my first ROM with no issues. Decided to try out a different one today, but after flashing it, my phone rebooted into bootloader and has been stuck there. Anytime I try to reboot the phone or reboot into recovery, it just goes back to the bootloader screen. Same thing when I attempt a factory reset. I've tried reinstalling TWRP recovery and although it says the install is successful, it's still stuck in bootloader. I also tried to install my previous ROM via fastboot command (which is failing), but to no avail. I got the following output:
sending 'zip' (994092 KB)...
OKAY [ 38.486s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) zip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)
finished. total time: 54.083s
I'm on the Sprint version, and I'm aware that 4.2 ROMs don't work on Sprint yet so I'd be using older versions of them for the time being, but I guess I inadvertently used an incorrect version.
Any ideas?

hmm...must really be bricked. :-\

if it is booting into bootloader, it is not bricked...
try connecting your USB cable , select fastboot in bootloader... it should show the FASTBOOT USB
now on your PC, where you have the ADB/Fasboot files, SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK on that folder and select Open command window here.
In command window, enter FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE
and try booting again...it might work.....

Try using the HTC one AIO toolkit to flash a new recovery and see if that helps.
It uses the FASTBOOT method to flash. Plus you have options to try CWM and TWRP.
If that works you should be able to flash a different rom to get your device up and running

When I click to flash a recovery, it gives me a prompt that there will be 2 screens and to close the 1st one once I'm in bootloader...I do that, then the 2nd screen comes up but nothing happens. Same thing for both the Sprint options

You need to be in the fastboot menu not bootloader menu.

Profit! Turns out the flash your own recovery option worked, I just didn't follow it all the way through, initially...after I closed the command prompt screen, the Open file menu came up and I was able to pick my TWRP recovery and boot into it. I restored my backup I made right before flashing the bad ROM and the phone is booting past the bootloader now
But.....next issue is that it's booting to a black screen instead of the regular lock screen, and after sitting there in that state for a few minutes, it reboots. :-\ I'm wondering if this is just because I deactivated the phone and switched back to my EVO LTE while trying to fix the One...that would be a first, though, as the phones are usually operational even if they don't have service.

Well, flashing and restoring didn't quite work, so I wound up having to do a factory reset (thankfully I had all my files on my PC from when I had to move them from my EVO, and since I'd only upgraded a few days ago, I didn't lose a whole lot) and a re-lock of the bootloader.
Only weird thing is, even re-locking it, the phone remained in S-OFF state. But I was able to rerun the HTC Dev Unlock to unlock the bootloader again and flashed a correct ROM. Back in business.
Thanks for your help...that toolkit you linked me to saved my ass.

To be S-ON again you need to reboot into bootloader
Then FASTBOOT USB
then run fastboot and write "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and enter. Now you will be S-ON

But do NOT S-ON unless you absolutely need to.

[Q] Flash back to Stock

Hi guys, I'll just start things off with saying that I am far from being anywhere near as technologically advanced as the majority of you so I would like your help if possible.
I had wanted to flash back to Stock and unroot my Moto X but for some reason I had gone into TWRP and decided to delete everything. Now every time I try to reboot from TWRP, it'll just say that the phone does not have an OS Installed and therefore if I reboot it, it will just stay on the 'Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I've read quite a few threads on various forums but I am unable to get my laptop to recognise the device in fastboot. That's my only problem so far as I've downloaded the Motorola Device Manager and all those other things but still cannot get my laptop to show the device for me to put the files into. When I plug it in, I am able to hear the sound and the device recognizes that it's been plugged in but I can't see it on my laptop.
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys and forgive my ignorance.

I've tried following the steps but I was unsure of step 3 where it says to download and install the proper firmware for the device but still unsure on how to install it. RSD Lite won't pick up the device nor will it show up when I type 'adb devices' in CMD. And finally, how do I go about turning on USB debugging when it won't boot up past the bootloader unlock screen?
Appreciate the help

Turn the phone off. Unplug it. Hold down VOL DOWN, and press power. The phone will boot into the bootloader. This is how you flash with rsd lite.
Adb does not work in bootloader, and isn't used for this. Once in bootloader (ap fastboot mode), rsd lite should recognize the device.
Make absolutely sure you do not downgrade to a previous version (you will brick), and make sure you flash the correct firmware for YOUR device/carrier.
You can only flash the same version or higher than what you were on before you erased everything.

Turn the phone off. Unplug it. Hold down VOL DOWN, and press power. The phone will boot into the bootloader. This is how you flash with rsd lite.
Adb does not work in bootloader, and isn't used for this. Once in bootloader (ap fastboot mode), rsd lite should recognize the device.
Make absolutely sure you do not downgrade to a previous version (you will brick), and make sure you flash the correct firmware for YOUR device/carrier.

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately RSD Lite doesn't recognise the device in bootloader. Am I supposed to put the files into a certain place for things to start working properly and is it also because I'm using windows 8.1? I've already installed the Motorola Device Manager as well.
Really sorry for all the questions - complete newbie right here

You said you downloaded moto device manager... Did you install it? If so you are one of the unlucky ones and will have to use the manual method with fastboot and mfastboot. Take it slow and follow the instructions. Leave out the config carrier line.
To make sure fastboot is working, type fastboot devices while in bootloader mode.

Oh okay that makes sense. Yeah I had installed but still nothing. Okay, I'll try the manual method, thanks heaps!
I've typed it fastboot devices in CMD and it came up with T017500PDP fastboot. I assume that's good? Haha

Yes perfect.
Run one command at a time - copy/paste them.
Remember to use mfastboot for system.img - regular fastboot will NOT work. Also remember to skip the config carrier command.

You my friend are a legend. Last round (hopefully) of questions though: where the code says to type in fastboot flash .... .gpt.bin and all those other things, am I supposed to put the files somewhere in particular? Because just regularly typing them into CMD comes up with (bootloader) Variable not supported! Then error: cannot open 'gtp.bin' or cannot open 'recovery.img' and so on but on the phone it says getvar partition-type:recovery or boot and so on.
Also the when the instructions say to use mfastboot, CMD says that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. Thanks!

First: yes, you have to put those files in the same folder as you are running the commands from. If your command prompt shows C:\users\jimmy\
Then that is where the files should be! You should have extracted the zip file you downloaded to the same folder you are running the commands from.
Second, you obviously have not download mfastboot.exe (it is linked in the return to stock thread) OR you didn't put it in the same folder as the rest of the files.
The "variable not supported" messages are normal. The error cannot open.... errors are NOT.
I'm attaching mfastboot.exe (it's zipped - extract it to the same folder as everything else) to this post so you don't have to go looking for it.
DON'T move on if the first command doesn't work. Make sure each one gives success before you move on.

Awesome!

Thanks so much, it worked great! The colours are a bit out of wack though (the blues are now orange and so on) and the bot animation is messed but still better than nothing. Thanks so much for your help!

You're welcome....but that isn't normal. I suggest doing it again from the beginning. A full SBF to stock re-writes all the partitions and there shouldn't be anything "out of wack". Sounds like something went wrong....OR your device has physical damage?
Anyways, please consider hitting the "THANKS" button under any and all posts that help you. :good:

[Q] No OS Nexus 6 on 5.1 update

I updated my phone to Nexus to 5.1 last night and it got stuck in the boot animation but I figured it would be done when I woke up. Much to my dismay that was not the case so I tried to factory reset and now I get this message that says "No OS found." Tried to plug it up to the computer but it won't connect. I think it may have something to do with the OEM Lock but I cant fix that without the phone turning on. Please help!

How exactly did you upgrade your phone?

Please provide more info. Stock or custom recovery?

From bootloader, enter the following fastboot commands:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
This should allow you to get back into TWRP and flash a ROM.

This may sound silly but I'm not 100% sure. A system notification had been on my screen for over two weeks saying that I had a system update to 5.1 and I finally decided to download and install said update and then it sent me to recovery mode. I don't know why I did but I hit fix permissions.. Just fiddling trying to figure everything out and this is where we are.

I can get into recovery mode but there isn't a ROM that I can find.. It's gone. And like I said it won't connect to the computer via USB port. (Tried several ports,as well as, different cords) Can't enable OEM lock

I'm not asking you to boot to recovery. Boot to bootloader.

move a rom via a computer to your phone. either connect the recovery to your computer and move it, or connect to a computer and adb push it to your phone.

Sorry, I guess I misread your post. I thought you said can't get to recovery. From TWRP you should be able to enable MTP transfer. Then your PC should see it and you can transfer files as @simms22 suggested.

From TWRP, perhaps you wiped the System partition? Heh, I did that just last night... woops... "round 2"!
As a side note, if you're trying to use adb/fastboot from Windows... I had nothing but problems myself, even with the proper drivers. At worst, I had to open the Device Manager, find the phone, and force-install ("update") the driver to Android->Composite USB Device before it would be recognized. Absurd, but pains of working from Windows. (Conversely, I've had pain-free experiences from OSX and Ubuntu.)

you dont need adb to move anything to your phone when using twrp. just connect to twrp using the mtp option.
