Having an issue with S-Off. Help please? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did a stupid thing: I unlocked my AT&T m7 (which I thought also made it S-OFF). I then installed a recovery and wiped the phone. After CM11 wouldn't install I realized that the phone was still S-ON. I have no OS on it to boot into. Any ideas on how I can get an HTC ROM on there so I can run the revone and grant it S-OFF? Thanks in advance!

Well if you have a custom recovery, just flash any rom. Or did I misunderstand something?

I can't transfer a ROM (CM11, Viper, etc) to the device. I can't get ADB sideload to work. I've installed the universal adb drivers and no dice.

Ah okay. When you connect your phone to your computer in recovery, what does "adb devices" give you? Nothing?

If even after re-flashing the TWRP.img it doesn't work, I would just do an RUU and go from there. Bad thing about not having an SD card slot

Just to let you know, that rom is pretty old. You'll need to do some updating. If you don't want to do that, you can also download this one :
DOWNLOAD
But it might not work. It's worth a try though.

Neither of those worked. Here is the error I get: Link.
I guess my next step is to try to find my otg cable and try to load a rom from there, right?

EDIT:
I managed to get adb working in recovery using a 32-bit VM (I now remember the problems I've had in the past with x64 and adb). I installed Viper, used rumrunner to achieve S-OFF. I am still unable to flash cm11. PhilZ/CWM gives me Status 0 and TWRP just says failed. Any idea what my next step should be?
ANOTHER EDIT:
Okay, I'm able to install an older m7att build but i can't install any of the unified m7 roms.

Just to let you know, the error when it says "Too many links" happens when you use a USB 3 port. Android and adb don't play very nice with usb 3.

[Q] No OS, no nothing

Oke guys,
I probally did one of the most stupid things. Got my One transformed tot a GPE 4.3 version works smooth. Yesterday an OTA update to 4.4 really messed up my day. Try to install everything gone....No i am not able to install any version at al.
Got the last version of TWRP installed. got myself an unlocked bootloader even an 4.3 GPE rom. But TWRP keeps giving me the message "Error flashing zip: 'sdcard/<M7_UL_JB443_STOCK_UI.
can someone help me solve this problem..
For 4.3 Roms you need twrp 2.6.3.0 and not 2.6.3.3.
Flash it and let us know

Thans for you answer. I now got another one. "Unable to mount /data

I'm also not able to mount then by the menu.
Why do you need to mount internal storage?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
After installing the right twrp version. i use ADB to push the image.zip to my phone. Then i use twrp install and browse to my sdcard where the image.zip is transferred to. when i click it it gives that error. By the way he also starts with error flashing zip.
Comlete error is:
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/M7_UL_JB43..
updating partition details
e:unable to mount /data
e: unable to mount internal storage
i fear for my device...
Please anyone who can help me?
what about to boot to Bootloader, connect to some tools like Hasoon2000 Toolkits (cannot post links yet, sorry) and format everything you got, than flash the recovery again and push the rom via adb
make sure you download rom without any downloader
do not worry, i bricked my one the same day i got it and took me two nights to make it work again it needs lot of trying and searching but eventually you fix it
Thanks for your reply, i flashed everything a couple times. I guess is have the right rom. i do worry cause i tried so many things. Thinking about sending in my phone to HTC today..

what exactly are you trying to flash, link please.
i tried so many things is don't know exaclty the links. I tried different custom recovery. CWM and TWRP. Since i don't have an OS any more i tried to install de M7xxx.zip
Is the error still unable to mount sdcard? If so, follow post # 3 in my Canadian stock link.. You may need to use a recovery closer to your HBOOT version.

Reflash the rom for a start. If that doesn't help - what recovery are you running? Maybe needs to be updated... Try TWRP recovery.

Make sure you read up extremely well about this first. A working boot image for your model and software version is required. If maximus rom dev claims that your device is supported then you should start with that one....

Actually as the phone is in boot loop, so not able to run the s-off fully.
I tried following ways.
1. revone, its giving error code = 1
2. rumrunner, keeps pouring upto 8-9 bottle and then shows restart, run rumrunner and pray.
3. moonshine, mobile restarts before completion.
While reading few forum posts I came to know boot loop could be because of battery problem also, any idea on this?

HTC One Looks Dead/Bricked - What to do next

*** SOLVED - Problem was my own stupidity ***
Got the HTC One a couple of days ago. Came back to Android after a few months on iPhone. Figured I'd jump right back into rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Anyway, unlocked the phone, wanted to install Android Revolution 51, tried to upgrade firmware, and that's when things went sideways. Now, I can't do anything. Can Fastboot, but can't ADB. Have tried to load every driver in the book, but to no avail. CID is CWS_001 if that helps. Have been at this for a day and a half now. I need ideas.
thoughts?

Then you should be able to restore it with ADB... No idea how yet, but as far as I know your not completely dead here.... I may however be completely out to lunch here...

Would be very grateful. I agree, it would seem logical that I could ADB my way out, but at the moment, ADB doesn't recognize the device.
It does sound more like a recognition issue than a hardware problem to me. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't you be using fastboot rather than adb to get out of this situation? Adb is pretty much only usefull with a booted rom in my experience.

I don't have a ROM loaded in the Virtual SD. And unless I'm mistaken, I can really only use ADB sideload at this point to load one up
Can you get into basic HTC recovery on the phone? I'm assuming you can if you can get fastboot working.
If so can't you just reflash a actual recovery from there, and then a rom from that? Apologies if this is completely irrelevant, I base all my android knowledge off my Desire.

Yeah now it does. I know if windows can see it you should be OK.
Try adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader
Right be able to get into something there.

Problem is I can't get into ADB. It doesn't recognize the device. Going to try to flash a recovery and see if that works.

OK I'm lost here Can you boot into recovery? Or do you have a blank screen from the start?
Either way I hope you get it, its a pain when they do that!

If you can boot to recovery, are you not able to boot to OS? How does it look dead??

There is no OS. Somehow I blew it away. When I get home I am going to try to flash a zipped RUU. Hopefully that works.

No luck on flashing the RUU file. It sends successfully, but fails on the write.

Phone is soft bricked, attempts to fix haven't work

Yesterday, I attempted to install a new rom. I had been using CM11 nightlies up till this point, and after being annoyed about certain aspects of my phone not working. I wanted to try something new.
I found ViperOne, and went to install it, thinking that it'll be the standard, run-of-the-mill install with no problems to be had. After getting through the install procedure and attempting to reboot to system, my phone dropped me back off at the bootloader. Thinking that I had forgotten to wipe something, I went into the recovery, wiped data, dalvik cache, and the cache, and attempted the install again. Once again, my phone dropped me off at the bootloader.
I thought, maybe I had a bad download. Re-downloaded the rom, same result. "Oh, I'll just try something else then". I found a Google Play Edition rom for my device, and decided to try that. It got stuck in a bootloop. After some googling, I attempted wiping the data/cache/dalvik cache again hoping it would help. Nope, still stuck in bootloop.
At this point (and after having running into a very similiar situation before) I decided to go for broke. I did a full wipe of the phone, and sideloaded CM10.1.3 (only stable CM rom for this device afaik). As it was installing, I noticed an error. "Unable to mount /data". I've had this problem before, and the way I fixed it last time was to install and run a stock rom. At this point in time, I was also getting frustrated and decided to put the stock rom back on my phone so it would at least be functional.
I found a stock rom and installed it just fine. The phone didn't even get stuck in a bootloop either. However, once the phone had finally booted up, I found that the touchscreen was unresponsive. I remember having this issue the last time I tried to use a stock rom. After a little bit of research, I had found that the problem stems from installing the wrong version of the rom. It was suggested on one of the websites to put "fastboot getvar version-main" into adb to find out what version I needed. It returns "version-main: ".
It was at this point that I remembered that I had made a backup of my phone before I attempted rooting. After some searching around, I managed to find it. That being said, I have no idea what to do with it. The folder where I made the backup contains a handful of .win files and some md5 checksums.
Since then I have been attempting seemingly random RUU versions in hopes of stumbling across the right one. It's been 5 hours, and I haven't had any success.
I would greatly appreciate any and all help that can be provided. If you guys need additional information (I'm not sure what I should include), let me know. I know some of the more basic ADB commands and their functions, so bear with me if I ask some questions about how to do certain things.

You can try one of the RUU's found here or follow the guide

I've tried several different RUU's, including the one's I could find here, and none of them have worked. Not sure if it really matters, but I attempted the 4.06.651.4 RUU earlier, but it failed.

I have always been told not to include those...could be a way for someone to hack your device but that's just my guess.

I had this happen to me also. Ends up i had to flash a new firmware on the phone and it booted right up. Also make sure you are using twrp recovery when you flash this rom. I used cwm and think that is where all my problems started. Hope ya get it worked out and may not be your problem but is exactly what happened to me and have i fixed it.

Oh god, now I'm back on the stock rom... Any recommendations for a good rom? I enjoy the stock look and feel of android, but running the CM nightlies has been giving me a headache.

[Q] Help M7 stuck in fastboot

Hi.
I've been trying to follow instructions from several threads about restoring an M7 to un-rooted, relocked, stock O2 ROM.
Things have gone badly from the start and I've tried so many different people's posts about what I should do that I'm completely confused now and need some help getting back on track.
At the moment all I've got is a hboot screen with fastboot working (unable to boot into recovery)
The last thing I did before this all went bed was to use 'fastboot oem relock' (which worked) I've tried 'fastboot oem unlock' but that says '[ERR] Command error !!!'.
I've tried flashing a stock rom.zip extracted from an O2 RUU but it fails with the code 'FAILED (remote: 22 loading zip info fail Please check if you flash part)'.
This is the 'getvar all' result.

remove your imei and serial number from your output above, its dangerous to post them.
according to your hboot which is 1.57 you wont beable to use that ruu, you cant back flash unless you have s-off.
also, only way to unlock your bootloader is at HTC dev again, you cant use a command to do it, so start there.

Thanks for the tip (oops) So is that the first step I need to do, unlock the bootloader again? Just checking before I go ahead. Thanks.
Update...
I went to the HTCDev site to unlock again (I know I'm impatient but I'm running out of time to get this done) but it didn't work. This is what the site reported back:-
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

yes that's the first step, then you need to decide if you want to go s-off and flash that original rom of yours, or go unbranded, or just flash a custom recovery and a custom rom.
---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
in fact, thinking about it, you will have to go with custom rom and recovery as you need a rom on your phone to go s-off.

strange, that's the only way your going to be able to unlock your bootloader, and unfortunately, there's nothing you can do with a relocked bootloader, can you post your token here so I can look over it.

So to get from my custom ROM, custom recovery and 'unlocked/tampered' state back to a stock rom/recovery and locked bootloader......what order do I have to do things? I know this is a big ask but I don't want to end up in a muddle again! Thanks.

if you have a working rom on there now then you will have to get s-off to do everything you want to do.
Try firewater first: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
if that fails then you will have to use sunshine, but you do have to pay for that: http://theroot.ninja/
out of interest, which rom are you running at the moment ?

try this version of adb and fastboot instead, sounds like its out of date and also check your device manager, make sure it says MyHTC when your phone is plugged in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

It looks like you typed adb reboot <–important!!!! the <-important!!! should not have been typed. It is just a comment. You will notice on the firewater page it is bold where the rest of the type is not.

Don't worry, I didn't type the important! bit
I'm not sure how much more time I want to spend trying to reset this device, maybe I'll just return it to O2 as it is and see if they even care that it's been unlocked!
I'll try the link you suggested and report back :tired:
Hi.
I think my guardian angel must have had a hand in this because I was only trying to reset the phone to return it due to the microphone not working. After all of these failed attempts I factory reset the current rom and bingo! Microphone working again and no need to return to O2
But thanks for all of the help you offered, I would have a lot less hair and more wrinkles without you.
