Restore ROM, NO OS help - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Situation: No OS, S-ON, No Recovery - TWRP. HTC One Rogers Firmware. Trying to get any os on it at this point
Tried to fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Says successful on prompt but freezes with 4/5 bar on the HTC one silver screen
Any ideas?

Not sure what the problem is. If you have no recovery then fastboot flash a recovery and then adb push or sideload a Rom to your phone

If you are truly a Rogers branded device, here is the kitkat ruu to flash. Will be totally stock with newest bootloader (will not be able to s-off), can still unlock bootloader and flash twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-38r-1157-04l_release_351317_signed_2-exe/

Tried them both gives me a image error or signature failure so i don't believe these are the correct RUU's my current image verison is 1.29.631.17
I tried Flash_recovery_4.19.401.11. and Previously when i had recovery and tried to sideload it gave me a system error and just kept loading.
INFO on bootloader screen (if it matters)

SOLVED
Hey thanks a lot for helping me. I have been able to solved it myself.
If someone would like to know what i did:
(for any noobs like me - UNLOCK the phone first to install a recovery)
It didn't properly wipe/format in twrp 2.6.3.3 because of decrypt pw, had to upgrade to 2.7 wipe it then go back to 2.6.3.3 then type adb usb
while mounted with data selected only. adb sideload button did not work.
Installed Android Revolution 62 directly and works fine now!
Thanks a lot for your help though!

[Q] Disaster Recovery , Bricked HTC One

Hey guys I badly need help!!! I was able to convert my HTC One GSM to Google Edition just last week, but today I want to restore it to its factory ROM so I can also restore the warranty. Now the problem became visible when I tried to flash a stock ROM (not the GPE ROM). Listed below are the problems I am facing at the moment:
1. Stuck in FASTBOOT USB, and cannot boot to ROM.
2. Can't boot to recovery. Everytime I highlight and select recovery the phone just shows up the "Google" logo, then vibrates, then back fastboot USB.
3. Factory Reset not working, again shows up "Google" then restarts to fastboot usb mode.
4. I ran cmd in sdk-tools, typed in "fastboot devices", and my phone is detected. But when I type "adb devices", my phone is not listed.
5. I tried flashing CWM or TWRP through fastboot in cmd but the reply is"remote: signature verify fail", as wellas flashing a RUU for my device.
6. On bootloader is written:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***

Guys I really badly need help to fix my phone. I don't wanna spend for repairs or throw it in the garbage. I am very sure there's a way to fix this and get it to work, but I am rookie in android as I've been an iOs user for a couple of years.

you have to download firmware files seperately...you can find them in android development section

[Q] HTC One stuck in bootloop

I have been given a HTC One which has been messed up by someone who has tried to root it.
The phone boots, gets to the welcome to Android screen and reboots.
The bootloader shows the following info:
Tampered
Unlocked
M7_UL PVT Ship S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO-4T.21.3218.21
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048 MB
Oct 17 2013.23:06:14.0
I can get into CWR (V6.0.4.6) but that is it - I cant recover from SDCARD as it says no files found. ADB says there is no device there if I try to push anything to it.
So a couple of questions.
Does the info above look correct for a UK based phone?
Any ideas how to get the phone to boot please?
Thanks.
Anyone?

your cid (HTC__304) is a EMEA cid (Europe, Midle-East and Africa) and generally from Spain. You should have no issue using it in the UK.
now for the bootloop do you want to go back to stock or you don't care? If you don't care about being stock, the easiest thing probably is to flash a custom rom like ARHD 51.0
please quote me or mention me (@alray) or I will not see you replied) just saw you posted back randomly

I don't really want a stock ROM at all. A Google Play ROM would be better I think.
Are you suggesting this ROM:

make sure you have latest htc drivers installed on your computer by downloading and installing htc sync from htc website. then you can uninstall the htc sync app (the drivers will still be installed)
download twrp recovery 2.6.6.3 and flash it
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.zip
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery (twrp)
download the rom and place it in your adb/fastboot folder and push it to your phone
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
then in twrp select install and chose the rom.zip you pushed

Nope, it does exactly the same thing. Boots to the HTC screen, stays on it for a while, the screen goes black and then the phone boots into recovery.
You must get correct recovery.
recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.6-m7 or TWRP_2.6.3.0_m7 i dont remember now
Flash recovery
Download HTC toolkit.
Reboot to fastboot use sideload to install cm11
do wipe
must work .

That doesnt really answer my question but gives me more things to get wrong.
Can you try ARHD 31.6 and install that? I am suspecting that becuase of S-ON, your phone maybe not liking ARHD 51.x rom.

I am trying to install RUU.exe but not find any RUU that match with 0s: 3.62.401.1 and radio and CID : Htc__j15.
Then I am trying to s-off for flashing different firmware by supercid, but I failed to s-off because phone is stuck @HTC and don't found as adb
so rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0 tool unable to recognized it.
Now unable to downgrade hboot to 1.44 and s-off the device and find any compatible ruu.exe
I tried factory reset both from Bootloader and recovery but no luck.
Now phone is Stuck @ HTC logo . If I select Boot-loader (Hboot) Nothing found in device manger,
CWM Recovery accessible, only fastboot and oem ruu mode assessable (fastboot oem rebootRUU) and by this it is recognized by ruu.exe
what to do? any method to s-off in this situation or any suggestion?

[Q] Relocking and Flashing to Stock HTC M7 on Bell

Hey community,
I'd really love some help from the experts here. I bought an HTC one that was originally on Bell, and the previous owner had rooted it and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it. To enter the sim unlock code, I have to flash it back to stock.
Now, I've been spoiled previously by using Nexus devices so I haven't run into this problem before.
What I've done so far:
Followed this guide about half way, to the point where I re-locked the bootloader. (fastboot oem lock)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZR5yhP75Jg
I got stuck after that, because Bell apparently does note have an excutable RUU file. I've only been able to find nandroid backups.
Right now, I cant get past the bootloader mode.
This is what shows on my screen:

Can anyone please tell me what the next step is? I have two files downloaded, but not sure which to use, or really how.
-M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID BM___001 1.29.666.5
-Stock_JB_4.3_BM___001_TWRP_3.23.666.1_htc_one_m7
Thank you.

re-locking the bootloader is only required to flash ruu which is not an option for your phone (no ruu available for bell). Now you'll need to unlock the bootloader again to flash either TWRP recovery to resotre from a twrp backup or CWM to restore from a CWM backup.
I'll suggest you to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and ARHD 53 rom. Many users reported successfully sim-unlocked their phones using ARHD rom. If that don't work then you could try with the nandroid backups.

Hey community,
I'd really love some help from the experts here. I bought an HTC one that was originally on Bell, and the previous owner had rooted it and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it. To enter the sim unlock code, I have to flash it back to stock.
Now, I've been spoiled previously by using Nexus devices so I haven't run into this problem before.
What I've done so far:
Followed this guide about half way, to the point where I re-locked the bootloader. (fastboot oem lock)

I got stuck after that, because Bell apparently does note have an excutable RUU file. I've only been able to find nandroid backups.
Right now, I cant get past the bootloader mode.
This is what shows on my screen:

unlock bootloader
flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This is from @crushalot instructions on restoring a nandroid backup
Then enter recovery either by holding power and vol down button until bootloader displays and then select recovery or if device is booted into the OS use this adb command:
adb reboot recovery
Now perform a test backup and allow it to complete. Then make a note of the folder in which the backup was created. Now copy the downloaded stock Nandroid into that same folder so that recovery will see the backup and allow you to restore it.

For a phone that's not booting up this means pushing the files with adb push
so the command would look like this
adb push 2013-08-08--19-24-38.ATT.502.15 /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/
these files are over 1.2 gigs sometimes so it takes a long time, be patient
Also be sure the files your pushing are in the same folder as adb
Thanks for the replies ^
Okay, so I have now unlocked my bootloader successfully - however am now stuck in a cyanogenmod bootloop.
What's the best way out of this?I have CWM Recovery V6.0.3.1 I can boot into - is this where I try and install ARHD 53 rom? When I plug the phone into my computer, I can't see it as a drive to copy a rom into.
TIA

if you want to flash arhd 53 you will need at least twrp recovery version 2.6.3.3 as specified in the ARHD rom thread. Then use either adb push or adb sideload method to transfer the rom on your phone which are explained here
The error I'm getting in CWM Recovery is:
E: can't mount /sdcard
E: can't mount /external _sd
How can I install TWRP Recovery? Sorry, I'm at a loss right now and feel so confused.

So I've installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 0 but I still can't manage to see the sd card on my computer, how can I push the nandroid backup to this phone? Is it still via fastboot commands?

like I said in post #6 you need to either adb push or adb sideload if you want to install a rom. If you want to restore a backup then use adb push to transfer the backup to the phone.
instructions how to adb push or adb sideload linked in post #6

Thanks for your help.
I was able to push the rom to the /sdcard folder via ADB Push
then from recovery, had to wipe/format all data. I think this created the directories for me
and then i was able to install CM11 again.
now im just trying to figure out how to install the nandroid backup since bell does not have a RUU, It says failed everytime i try in recovery and i have it in the same parent folder as my CM recovery i created.

like cIsA said you have to push the twrp nandroid in this folder: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/
You have to make a backup first for this folder to be created. So make a twrp nandroid backup of the boot partition only (because its light). This will generate the backup path with your s/n + date. Then delete the file inside that folder and replaced it by the nandroid backup you want to restore.

I guess you mean a custom rom and not a custom firmware since your phone is S-ON....
What file did you tried to flash (provide a link please)

Make sure you have the latest htc drivers installed on your computer and uninstall HTC sync if its installed on your computer. Boot in bootloader mode, select "fastboot" (if not already in fastboot menu), make sure you see "fastboot usb" in red and type "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is correctly detected.
Thank you for the reply I used Clockworkmod and various different roms
Where can I find the recovery name and version please?
I am going to try Windows 7 as I understand it causes less complications.

What roms exactly, I can't help if you don't give precise answers. List all the rom (name + version) you have tried to flash. Are you sure you did only used roms that was made for the M7?

First line of text when booted in recovery + you should know the recovery you have flashed.... or you simply flashed a random file?

Win 10 is fine with hboot 1.54. Only hboot 1.44 is causing problem with Win 8/10
The only thing I can suggest you with the information I have is to flash TWRP and flash this rom which will reset your phone back to stock. When installing the rom, select "yes" to install stock recovery and stock radio and select "no" to root. Do all the ota updates until you are running on the latest version. Once up-to-date, you can reflash a custom recovery (TWRP preferred for the M7) and root the phone again and if you want, flash any custom roms youd like
If you ever considered S-OFF then do it before doing any ota updates using Rumrunner S-OFF (free) because once the hboot is updated, you'll have to use Sunshine S-OFF which will cost 25 USD.
I have managed to get it to communicate now by using windows 7
