[Q] Need help, possible brick!?

Hello,
I Flashed the Android Revolution ROM (International version) on my HTC One, had no problems whatsoever
(i used TWRP)
However, somehow i deleted my OS..
Now, i pushed the rom to my HTC One, and i can install the rom via TWRP.
However, i'm stuck at the HTC One boot logo.
Can anyone help
Im using the HTC One international version.
Btw, i erased the cache and flashed the boot.img via cmd, still not getting anything.

Did you check the download is not corrupt? Check the MD5 sum, sounds like a bad download.
No need to flash boot.img as this comes as part of the ROM, but you can (within recovery) erase cache and Dalvik.
Still sound like a bad download IMHO.

How can i check the MD5 sum?
And if it's a bad download, do i just need to re-download the ROM? / Flash another rom

Here's a simple program that will do the job: www.WinMD5.com
The original MD5 is usually mentioned in the OP, or the download section. once you compare that to the one you downloaded, HAPPY FLASHING.
Remember to hit the Thanks button if I helped

Nice, unplugged my HTC and plugged it in 15 minutes later, and ADB doesnt recognise my phone..
I typed adb devices and all i get is: list of devices attached.
Nothing more

Never mind, PC does recognise phone now.
However, i tried another ROM. pushed it onto my phone and flashed it.
However, now i´m stuck at the Insertcoin bootlogo =/
Im totally stuck here.

Are you checking the MD5 sums? Also can you post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n).

I will post a fastboot getvar all when i get home.
could this maybe be a problem with the memory of the HTC One? The rom just doesn't boot.(gets stuck at homescreen, and tried different roms). even tried the boot.img method but that didn't work either..
EDIT: This is what i get :
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.54.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.17.3250.14
(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) version-main: 2.24.401.8
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) serialno: XXXXXX

(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0710000
(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__E11
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 3696mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-d959c75800
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!

So, to sum up things:
I flashed a custom rom, no problems at all.
When i tried to wipe the data of my phone, i accidently wiped my OS.
However, my HTC gets recognised by my W7 pc, and i have no problem pushing Custom ROMS to my HTC (bootloader and recovery are accessible).
However, when i flash a custom rom, the phone gets stuck at the HTC boot-logo
I tried the fastboot erase-cache, then flash the boot.img and installed the ROM etc,
I tried that in every order possible.
P.s i checked the MD5 sums

Strange indeed! So there are only two things I can think of:
1- It's a hardware defect; I've read of 1 incident (again 1) where they guy actually to the phone back to the shop and they confirmed it was a defective memory board. (for now let's assume this is NOT your case)
2- you said "i accidently wiped my OS", which I assume you did by formatting something (probably /system) in TWRP, which could have messed or corrupted your partitions. have you tried different recoveries?
Here's what I'm thinking: flash a different recovery, format pretty much everything, adb push the ROM again, and hope it works.
So if you're up to it:
1- Download the following CWM recovery (that way I can follow you as it's the same one on my phone at the moment):
recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.2-m7--v2.img (7.2 MB)
https://mega.co.nz/#!6E8RiIrQ!GF5LyhmEdg8OQJxuQVVjwSxBljxhW7xsZAHLzjVACsc
MD5: 1c6afb14db3f305b0ad7d85d5af80bef
2- flash it in bootloader:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.2-m7--v2.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY and confirm you're on attached screen, and we'll proceed from there...

Okay, now go to "mounts and storage"
start formatting:
- format /system
- format /data
- format /cache
- format /sdcard
- format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
***go back***
adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/

reboot phone: go to "advanced" and select "reboot recovery"
and also reboot PC
Don't forget to unplug phone and later replug after reboot. then confirm adb is working again.
EDIT: and while you're there, wipe dalvik

However, 5 seconds after i wanted to push the rom, you can hear the "disconnected tune" and it just says protocol failure.

silly question, but is the phone charged enough? also try a different USB port. I know this is a bit of trial and error to get adb to work sometimes. I remember you having this problem before no?
Did you update drivers and adb?

Yes the phone was charged enough, "sideloaded" the ROM and installed it. Now i just have to wait and hope for the ROM to boot.
EDIT: ROM Doesn't boot, just reboots in recovery after a while

Please ensure you have a custom recovery (TWRP) and your bootloader is UNLOCKED if you are going to side load or push a custom rom onto your phone. If you are going to use the RUU route, then you need to have the bootloader LOCKED or RELOCKED. Here is a post that explains the steps to each method.

Locking the bootloader is only needed if you want to go back to stock using a RUU. I don't know if its what you have tried to do or any other method (guru reset rom, nandroid backup, stock odexed rom, Ruu.zip or ruu.exe?) The output of "fastboot getvar all" could help (dont post IMEI and SN) + what recovery and version # are you using?
The next minute the bootloader wiped everything I mean everything there is no data no nothing only the recovery

bootloader can't wipe anything by itself. You probably did something wrong, can't tell you what at this point.
tried push with adb a new system

many have said 2.7.1.1 works fine, i haven't tried and am quite happy with 2.6.3.3... the 2.7 series not only had problems with flashing and charging, but also nandroids, but not sure about 2.7.1.1
but from the 3rd screenshot of the OP, that doesn't look like an m7 ROM, the bootanimation is distorted indicated it's not for 1080x1920 display.

check md5 and you'll know if its the right rom. must match the md5 value I posted above.
if it still dont work, do what nkk71 said above, format data cache and system. you'll have to push to rom again after formatting.
to format data, go in twrp, ''wipe'' ---> "Format data"
to format system and cache go in "wipe" --> advanced wipe --> select cache and system and swipe to wipe
then adb push the rom again and install it again.

I have rooted my phone on a previous occasion a few months ago so I could install some root required apps. Apps installed and everything was fine.

start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n), and what ROM are you running?

I am running stock ROM I think. It was a while back when I rooted it and can't remember installing a custom rom. I like the original HTC rom, it is fast and I never get any lag. I just wanted to add the tap to wake features that had been ported from the m8, I just needed a rooted phone.

Pretty sure rumrunner won't work on 1.57. Either Firewater or sunshine

@nateboi81 is right, your only options are:
a) sunshine (costs $25) on stock rom
or
b) firewater (free) on rooted ROM (and possibly bulletproof kernel)
if firewater gives you "whelp this sucks, etc" error then only sunshine will work

I am trying to return my HTC one to stock using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
I have rooted my phone on a previous occasion a few months ago so I could install some root required apps. Apps installed and everything was fine.
Rumrunner runs, then says I do not have root access.
Weaksauce tells me 'already rooted'.
In hboot I have these for the top two lines
***tampered***
***unlocked***
I have s-on and need to get s-off before I can continue, can anyone help?

I s-off my rooted htc one hboot 1.57 using firewater. Must be on custom rom I think. Download link in case you need it, other links didn't work for me;
Firewater
- adb reboot <-- Important
- adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp <--- When the phone restarts enter this
- adb shell
- su
- chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
- /data/local/tmp/firewater
Wait for prompt and type Yes, must be capital 'Y'

Thanks for the replies. I have just spent the best part of the last hour going through the guide I posted a link to. The links for htc1 guru do not work, keep timing out. And a lot of the stuff I don't understand which steps I need to take. The guide is great but not well structured for the less confident. I will just turn off the system updates on my phone and delete the update so it doesn't keep bugging me.
Firewater didn't work. It said I need to run it as SU or FU. I followed all the commands on the firewater s-off site.
From Firewater attempt. I am aware that $ in adb shell means it is not rooted. So I think there's just a big issue with if it is or not rooted. Like the original post, one says I am and one says I am not. So I am giving up!

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. The article is great like I said. Just sometimes there's some information about something else and I just couldn't work out if it applies or not. A little bit more description would help.
I thought about doing that but I am reluctant to fiddle about too much now. I'm being super cautious with all things technology wise. I lost a hard drive last week and then the backup of it two days later when I tried to put it on a new drive. Through no fault of my own and it's costing £540 for it to be recovered by a professional company. I don't want to f-up anything else because I can't afford another phone. My contract is up in Jan so I'll just stay on this till I can upgrade. My phone hasn't prompted me to upgrade ota again yet. So it's not a necessity to return to stock.

To get the wake gestures, you would need a custom kernel such as elementalX (possibly in conjunction with Xposed + Sense6Toolbox).

because that's where you issue fastboot commands, and the "fastboot getvar all" command is one every user should be familiar with, as it gives you the necessary information to know what your phone is.
I'll probably edit the box and make a copy/paste of the actual command prompt.

You would need ElementalX kernel for wake gestures, and since ARHD 71.1 is "Sense 6 Android 4.4.2" you would need version 14.12 of ElementalX.

adb only works in custom recovery, or booted up ROM with USB debugging enabled.
why can't you get to recovery?
B) Force reboot
Press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.
(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)​

I can enter bootloader. Go into fastboot. Connect to PC (W7). PC beeps, fastboot usb appears on the phone. ADB shows no devices! Rebooted pc on numerous occasions. Still no luck. I have uninstalled the drivers, installed HTC ones, reinstalled ADB etc, still nothing. It worked fine yesterday in ADB.
I cannot enter recovery either. I don't know what to do.

I've never checked md5 in my life of using computers and the internet. I am an idiot I know.
ADB was working on fastboot USB in the bootloader yesterday. I didn't enter recovery once yesterday.
When I try to go to recovery (cwm) it just flashes for a second then reboots.
I will try the force reboot but not confident.

Do I try the force reboot when the phone is off, in the boot loop or in the bootloader. Because all three just send me back to the bootloader after about 10 seconds and none cause the phone to reboot.

Sorry I crossed posts, I wasn't sure if you'd seen it.
When it is in the bootloop it tries to enter recovery itself, it says something like no context file or something. It flashes for a second and that's it, it returns to a bootloop. It does the same if I try enter recovery from the bootloader.
When do I do the force reboot. No matter what I try it just enters the bootloader screen.

please change your recovery to twrp 2.6.3.3 as mentioned below:
A) Having Problems? Rule #1: check MD5 on all your downloads; one single corrupt download can keep you trying for hours on end for nothing!
https://www.google.com/#q=MD5 ; Basically (in our context), MD5 checksums are to verify that the file you downloaded isn't corrupt
on Mac, Linux, and Android terminals it's already built in:
Mac: in terminal, just type md5 <name of file>
----> MD5 (<name of file>) = 12345678901234567890123456789012
Linux: in terminal, just type md5sum <name of file>
----> 12345678901234567890123456789012 <name of file>
Android: in "adb shell", just type md5sum <name of file>
----> 12345678901234567890123456789012 <name of file>
Windows (seems not built-in!?!?): you can use programs such as http://winmd5.com/ , http://implbits.com/hashtab.aspx , http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ or any other one of your choosing.
C) Problems installing a ROM (in particular 4.4+ versions, and getting permission/set_metadata errors)
for M7_U/UL models, get TWRP from:
2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
(make sure MD5 is correct, that site does not play nice with download managers)
Note: at the time of this writing these are the most reliable versions, even the 2.7.x.x series seem to still have problems

[Q] How do I get my phone operable again?

Hi Guys,
Sorry to start another thread like this, but I've read and tried everything I can find on here and nothing seems to be working, in fact I seem to have made things worse.
Long story short I did the whole HTC dev unlock thing and all was fine, then I installed TWRP and pushed SuperSU, after this my phone would boot up and run for about 1 minute then reboot and go through the same routine (I let this go on for a few hours before I gave up)
Since I have tried installing different ROMs and changed the Recovery several times but I am in a position where I can boot into recovery but nothing else, unfortunately I don't even seem to be able to install any ROMs any more, I just pushed ARHD to the phone but as soon as I try to install it TWRP comes back with a failed message.
I'm sure this situation must be recoverable as I can still access recovery and fastboot but I seem to be going round in circles at the moment and getting nowhere so any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated, if there is any specific information that you need then just ask.

you'll most likely have to format data and push the file to the phone again. This will wipe the entire phone same as a RUU

Afaik ARHD must be installed using twrp 2.6.3.3 (higher versions of twrp are not compatible, or at least, they are not all compatible)
flash twrp 2.6.3.3
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then in twrp selsect "install", browse your phone storage to find your ARHD zip file, select it and then swipe to flash.
If this fail again, format data like cisa said above, but you'll have to push the rom to your phone storage again.

Installed TWRP from your link fine, tried to install ARHD which failed so from TWRP I did Wipe / Format Data and now everytime I try and push the rom back to the phone I get the message protocol failure after about 3 minutes or so.

What was the error code in twrp?
What is your adb version?
Do you have latest HTC drivers installed?
Are you using a usb 2.0 ports? Maybe try another usb port/cable.
Have you checked MD5 value of your rom/recovery files?

After you done wipe/format data. Did you reboot the phone to recovery?
You have to do this to write the new file system.
If it's still failing after reboot. Disable HTC sync or better still uninstall it if you don't use it.

Thanks to all of you who responded, it turns out I've got 6 different versions of ADB on my PC due to various toolkits and things I've downloaded for my different devices, I also only have USB 3 ports on this machine but when I changed ADB version it worked, so again thanks to you all :good:

[Q] ADB can't find phone

So I'm trying to update my firmware so I can get android 5.1 working on my phone to try it out. But I am running into trouble with adb finding my phone.
When I enter "adb devices" it returns a list of nothing, entering kill-server and start-server doesn't help.
My phone says fastboot USB when I plug it in and my computer says HTC One is found and working in the device manager (on my windows 8 machine it had a yellow exclamation next to it saying unknown device so I switched to a windows 7 machine which picks it up instantly)
I also tried using Squabbi's HTC one toolkit to s-off (I have hboot 1.44) as that is needed to update the firmware however it cannot connect to my phone either (same adb problem)
adb is seemingly installed correctly, I've tired all usb 2 and usb 3 ports on my laptop and tried multiple usb cables. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalled different HTC drivers, I also tried installing the google usb drivers.
I need helps

If your phone says "fastboot usb" then it its booted in bootloader / fastboot mode.
ADB only works from a booted rom with usb debugging turned on or from a booted custom recovery (no matter if usb degug is on/off)
when in bootloader / fastboot usb mode, use fastboot commands, in this case "fastboot devices" will work.

hboot 1.44 isn't compatible with windows 8, use windows 7 or the windows 8 drivers fix. Will work fine after hboot is updated.

To achieve s-off on hboot 1.44 use Revone
as that is needed to update the firmware

Always use usb 2.0 ports.

Thanks for the reply!
I was following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybu7fZa41so
using the fastboot commands listed which would result in cmd saying "waiting for device" forever. I didn't know adb and fastboot were different commands, adb works now that I know how to use it. Fastboot is still giving me trouble always waiting.
Should I update Hboot? I have my phone connected to a win7 laptop so that isn't a problem. Are there benefits other than windows 8?

The linked firmware is a custom firmware and requires s-off to be flashed. Why not simply updating your phone normally via ota updates from 1.29.666.5 to the latest Bell mobility version 7.17.666.7 and then you'll be able to flash 5.0+ custom roms.
If you want s-off better to achieve it now, its an easy task when on hboot 1.44 (revone s-off), newer hboot version will requires to use paid methods like sunshine s-off.

Change your CID to GOOGL001:
boot in bootlaoder / fastboot usb mode
using fastboot enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid GOOGL001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then confirm your cid is now GOOGL001:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
output must be "GOOGL001"
reboot in ruu mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
flash this firmware, not the one you have linked above:
Code:
fastboot flash zip m7_GPE_5.1_FULL_firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip m7_GPE_5.1_FULL_firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then reflash twrp:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot in recovery, push the GPE rom to your phone and flash it. Reboot and your phone should boot in the 5.1 rom (first boot can take up to 10-15 mins, will be stuck at htc splash screen)
Dont forget to backup your important files before, the firmware flash will wipe your phone.

Wait, I'll make some modification to the firmware so it can be flashed on your phone and I'll send it to you in a few minutes.

If you flash the latest twrp version (2.8.7.0), you'll be able to see your phone storage from your computer when booted in twrp main menu. Copy your rom (drag and drop) from its current location to "My computer --> HTC One --> internal storage --> your rom.zip here"
or you can use adb push
Phone must be booted in twrp main menu and the rom.zip mus tbe in the same folder where adb is installed:
Code:
adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard
the command window will be unresponsive as long as the transfer is not completed (around 10 min)

Everything is up and running! Thanks for all the help!
One last question though haha, would you flash something like ElementalX on top of this 5.1 rom?

If you need some of elementalX features then yes flash it, you can always revert back to the previous kernel that comes with the rom by extracting it from the rom.zip and flashing it using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
ElementalX kernel must be flashed in recovery.
