[Q] CM Installer not recognizing my phone - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I just got the One M7 and I hate Sense, like really hate it so I went on to install CM11 via CyanogenMod Installer (Like MKBHD did, that's why I thought I should) and I did everything it said, Opened up the app on my phone followed the instructions until it said "Continue installation on your computer" and I did, when I opened the CM Installer however, it never detects my phone! I don't have HTC Drivers nor HTC Sync manager, but I heard that it isn't needed, help

if your phone must communicate with your pc at some point, you must have the drivers installed even if its not specified
Btw this is very simple to flash CM using a custom recovery if the installer doesn't work.
install the drivers using this guide:
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
2) Q: I'm using Windows 7 what should I worry about
A: when you issue the command "fastboot boot CWM.img" (now only in CWM/TWRP restore method) there's a high chance drivers won't correctly install

follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways​
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:

The problem using the CM installer is that you don't have any option to revert back to stock which is possible when you flash the rom from recovery. (you can make a nandroid backup before flashing the rom)
So if you need to send your phone to repair under warranty, can you return to stock? Is there a ruu for your phone if you don't have a backup?

I'm really not willing to go back to stock, and the warranty is already expired so I got nothing to lose really, don't know what RUU is

RUU is for Rom Update Utility. Its the most common way to restore HTC devices back to stock from your computer. It can also be used to updated a phone if something is messed up and prevent the ota update to install. It flashes/update stock hboot, stock recovery, stock radio, stock software (rom).... stock everything.... But to use a ruu you must find one that is specifically for your phone model, software, CID and MID.
RUU for the htc one M7 can be found here http://www.htc1guru.com/

I think, there are some progs for download, to manage the unlock....
I have Rom 207, normally 407, so I wonder, if it is O2-Germany brandet....
Can I unlock my Bootloader too?

you dont need to see it in the list. it did not show in the list does not mean it can not been unlocked. just follow the steps. you can unlock your phones bootloader if you can use fastboot command to get the identify token.
I have 207 in Softwareinfo, so, can I do it with this O2-Rom too?

first write down whats your problem?
Ok, sorry,
I wanted to unlock the bootloader, so I registered me on the page "htcdev.com", to do it....
But before unlocking, I wanted to check my Java and my SDK, so I installed my Java, but it couldnt be installed
And thats the base of the SDK, so my first step doesnt be positive....
Edit: I managed it, cool!!
I had a problem with my defy (I replaced a system file), and now it doesn't start into androdi, so I need to flash a custom recovery with RSD Lite.
..but I can't find an image file with only CWM.
Could you please share how did you recompile CWM?
Thanks in advance!

Firstly I would suggest using the Paul O'Brein recovery from the MoDaCo site
http://android.modaco.com/topic/348973-clockworkmod-recovery-5027-unofficial-modaco-edition/
Also have you got the Fastboot tools on your computer, you will need these to be able to install CWM and they're part of the android sdk package. Once you have the fastboot tools, move the recovery.img to the folder where fastboot.exe is and open a command window (I take it your using windows... hold left shift button and then right click, in the options you will see 'open command prompt here') and from the command prompt type this
fastboot flash recovery r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img (tip is to type r1 then hit tab to complete full line without typing it all)
This has all been explained in other threads...
I was bored today at work, so I've download and flashed this Recovery
My process was;
Stock
November time I unlocked the Bootloader
waited mainly due to lazyness
Today downloaded this Recovery
Flashed recovery via fastboot
Jobs a good 'un
Done a backup and waiting on RCMix3D Runny to download then install etc
No special tools or tricks of the trade, have had the SDK etc installed on my PC here since my G1 on launch day,, well soon after launch day anyway

If your phone has recovery installed you might be able to flash a stock ROM zip to put it back to its original firmware, otherwise u would need to use flashtool and flash a firmware via usb for it to be restored

You should be able to put the zip file onto the SD card and flash it via recovery. I'm guessing u never backed up your original ROM when you first installed recovery?
If that doesnt work, you could also try moving it to your phone through google drive?

You cannot flash FTF files in recovery. They are for use with Flashtool only.

I don't think it should matter when returning the device for a hardware defect though. The rom you're running didn't break your USB port.

Install NUT's pre-rooted (odex version) rom through recovery.
While in recovery do a wipe. /data/factory reset.
Then flash my XZDR removal tool http://d-h.st/wOc
Reboot and you will be back on pure stock with root.
Then just do a full unroot from within SuperSU app.
Done
Edit: Hopefully your bootloader is locked But as @kingvortex said - its got nothing to do with a broken port
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, good thinking, but does [NUT]'s flashable zip include the kernel? I was under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that the stripped FTF had to be flashed with Flashtool for the kernel and baseband. If I'm correct, then the rom will not boot with the CM kernel (correct me if I'm wrong). In that case, DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel is a possibility, but that is still not fully stock and would require that the bootloader remain unlocked.
There's also the fact that the OP is on a CM rom, so therefore fastboot is needed to relock the bootloader even if a fully stock system is achieved.
It all depends on how closely the service centre looks at the software on the phone, I suppose.
Oh OK. So he is on CM11? - missed that. I was hoping he was on stock based.
Yeah your probably right about the stock kernel being in the stripped FTF. (Never tried it), however there is still a way. A little convoluted though, and I don't have time for a new tutorial.
Easiest way is, as you said, just take the damn thing to the repair centre and argue that customizing the phone has nothing to do with a faulty USB port
Sent from my Full Android on C6603 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, he didn't say he was on CM until post #5. I'm used to people not being forthcoming with all pertinent information here, so read through his other posts before replying.
I think it's possible to package a stock kernel up in a flashable zip. If it is, it may be possible to get back to stock. I'll look for the post where I saw it.
Edit - Found it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470280
So, maybe -
1. Flash [NUT]'s rom.
2. Flash stock kernel packaged by the method above.
3. Wipe /data.
4. Flash your XZDR removal tool.
5. Reboot.
That may work. Trouble is, performing steps like this without the safety net of Flashtool or even fastboot in the event of something going wrong is quite risky, so nobody blame me if a brick happens!
Even if all is successful, the bootloader will still be unlocked, so hopefully the service centre will not check.

You cannot lose your data or OS by flashing a recovery. However if you do it incorrectly or use the wrong process to flash the recovery, you can brick your phone. And if you bricked it, you may have to flash a new stock ROM to unbrick. That may cause you to lose your data.
So as always, BACK UP YOUR OS AND YOUR DATA before you mess with your phone! I can't tell you how many people I read about who fail to backup their phone and then they mess with it not really knowing what they are doing and end up losing everything because they've bricked their phone and have NO BACKUP!
Don't risk your data. Back it up NOW. Then you can mess with your phone freely and without worry.

Where's the. Zip file download link?
An app that tends to work on almost all lollipop based devices is the KINGROOT app........
Just google it and download it....
Your phone may reboot during the root process but thanks to lollipop's ram feature your unclosed apps stay unclosed nd in the memory even after rebooting......
so carry on with the process after reboot(if it occurs)
I've rooted many stubborn devices with it

HTC One M7(Intl) soft bricked? What ROM?

Hi so I've spent a good deal of the morning attempting to finally fix this phone, a couple years ago I removed all OS from it and no backup but I still have TWRP.
The phone is tampered/unlocked.
Hboot is 1.54.0000
I tried loading one of the latest ROMS from here via side loading - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
I used this guide - http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/fix-soft-bricked-htc-one-by-flashing-new-rom-via-adb-0154361/
Unfortunately once the sideload is complete I get an error E: Zio file is corrupt, I was wondering if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong? Can attempt to provide more information if required.

Hey thanks for the reply
This is the ROM I downloaded https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554130
My recovery version is v2.6.0.1 for TWRP, should I upgrade?
You can't flash that via recovery. That's a RUU, and your phone must be in RUU mode and you flash it via recovery. Also, you're on very old firmware, so you need to flash all firmwares before that one. My suggestikn is to flash the latest recovery, and then flash a custom ROM. You can find custom ROMs on M7 android development thread

Ah that would explain it lol, sadly very inexperienced with this.
Would there be a stock rom or just choose the one close to stock? (As in HTC sense one)

I think there should be a stock rooted ROM, but you can flash pretty much any ROM from there. Most of them are stockish looking

Hey thanks very much for your speedy replies
Would this be okay then - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-google-play-edition-lollipop-v1-00-t2963927 ?
Also do I just sideload it as I attempted previously once TWRP is updated?

Of all sense TOMs out there, you picked a GPE [emoji4] that's not Sense, but it will work.
New recoveries have MTP option, so you don't need sideload. Just mount MTP, and move your zip to your phone

Haha yeah, I did decide I actually preferred closer to stock android after using my Z3
I don't really know how to do that, will side loading still be okay? (I assumed this was my only option as I literally have no OS on my phone and just get stuck at the HTC loading screen when I turn phone on normally)

MTP is much easier than sideload, and newer TWRP have it. You go into recovery (updated) and you will see "mount MTP" option. Click that, and your phone will show up on your PC. After that it's just drag and drop, but sideload will work too I think

Hmm
I can just see 'Mount' on the main TWRP page, then I go into that and see Cache/Data/devlog/System/USB OTG as check boxes and then just disable MTP button at the bottom.
Nothing showing on my macbook (not sure if that makes a difference as my w10 pc could not recognise the phone at all)

That error means your adb tool is not working properly. At least that was the case on my PC. Can you try it on your windows machine?

Yeah I'll go give it another go on it.
It wouldn't be anything to do with the fact my device is tampered? (S Off I think?) Do I need something extra other than just the one link in the ROM I said i chose?

Question Is there a step by step guide for flashing stock payload.bin files.

Hi everyone. Apparently I know just enough to get me in trouble. I received my new OnePlus 10 Pro 5G yesterday which I ordered thinking OnePlus phone were easy to root and mod. I was able to get the boot loader unlocked eventually, but then when I tried to root the phone I ended up in a boot loop. I can still get into to fastboot, lock and unlock my boot loader, but I can't get it to boot.
I found a rollback file for North America and was hoping to hopefully save my new phone by reflashing it.
Sorry for inexperience, I'm hoping there is a guide to doing this. I've been looking for hours
Thanks,
KB
For rooting our device we can use This guide, i don't know which model is you device but probably you can use the files provided there.
Now to solve your problem you need a stock boot.img file that match your current system version and flash it via fastboot
you are kind of sol. keep watching this thread and hopefully someone will post new login creds https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/edl-flash-tool-leak.4494211/

My model is the NE2215. I found this rooting guide after following a bad rooting guide. I think the main difference is that the other one had me flash the patched boot.ini file and not boot from that file.
As far as stock boot image, I thought I found one in this thread https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1114712420498538501 for the Android 13 beta. It has a rollback package to revert to 12.

So you are on global ROM, do you remember which version? If it's the lastest version(NE2215_11_C.21) I can provide you with the stock boot.img

Don’t know which version you’re on, but it’s best to follow the right guide for your model https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-10-pro-ne2215-rooted.4431585/
All the stock boot files are there. Recommend you try booting each one until you find one that works, then validate your phone os version and flash the correct boot image.
May or may not work depending on your luck

As said here, download the stock boot from there and only boot it, it your device boots then flash that boot.img on fastboot or fastbootenhace

Sorry if these are dumb questions but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
I have downloaded both the global (6812ccee9a8a891032af1e053e3217731ac7ad92) and North American versions (2370_sign_NE2215_11_A_OTA_0130_all_bb1e47_10100001)
I have extracted them so I have the boot.img files as well. So you're saying I should run 'fastboot boot boot.img' and if it works, then I should do 'fastboot flash boot.img'?

Yep that should be the procedure, the important thing is if that version match the current installed in your device, do you remember which android version you had? A13? A12?

Yeah I know that but you almost see Q's once, anyway the only way that comes to my mind is flashing the full ROM via fastboot enhance for you device that should be NE2215_11_C21(Android 13)
For now i didn't used that tool, i upgraded my device via local update so I can't help with that

Thank you for all your help. I think I've done about all I know how to do. I guess I'll just take it as an expensive lesson learned and hope that there is a way to do it in the future.

I've flashed a full firmware via Fastboot enhance after I installed a GSI..
I connected when in fastboot..
Deleted cow files, need to search then delete each one, then grabbed my most current full firmware payload.bin and flashed it.
Device booted fine, one part of it I need to be in Fastboot d, I think that was the cow files part. I could be remembering that part wrong though.

@KB- that should fix your issue.
@dladz I guess the patched boot.img needs to be flashed in fastbootd instead bootloader? to avoid bootloops anyway better to just boot it.

If it's within a payload then no it's integrity is intact.
If it's been extracted to be patched then yes booting is preferred, but there's no option in Fastboot enhance for that.
