Hey guys, really need your help..
I have an HTC One M7 with Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked bootloader.
I tried to install the xposed framework but it just rebooted after I installed it and the installer said "not installed" after that.
So I've googled it and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200365
After flashing the .zip through CWM Recovery (I don't think that was working because it rebooted quickly after it said "Installing...") I came into a boot loop.
My last recovery backup is 3 weeks old so I don't really want to use that. (I know my fault for not backing up everything before flashing.)
I tried to flash the xposed uninstaller - That worked (The first zip which I was able to flash yet - I tried a few mods before but couldn't flash anything using CWM.. Why btw.?) but it's still in bootloop.
I tried to erase cache too but still the same. I used the app. "HTConeRW" to make /system writeable, but didn't flashed a zip for that - could that cause CWM to reboot instead of installing any .zip file when I try to flash it?
Thanks in advance.
I just saw how small the backup files are. I thought a CWM backup would backup EVERYTHING...
So, if it's not that case, what does that backup? And when I restore it, what will be changed?

the backup contains /data and /system and /recovery (sometimes)
your sdcard is not backed up or restored

I just saw that it should contain an "system.img" file and I thought maybe I can flash that using fastboot to get it back working.
So I pulled my backup on my PC using adb in fastboot, and everything it contains is this:
cache.ext4.tar (0 kb)
recovery.log (168 kb)
cache.ext4.tar.a (3.1 mb)
data.ext4.tar.c (614 mb)
nandroid.md5 (1 kb)
I'd like to install this kernal if it will work again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665
It will make /system writeable too. If I install it now, any try to flash xposed again after that, could that repair my HTC One?
I I'll suggest to backup your device, wipe system, install the same ROM you were on before, then restore only data partition from the backup you just took. Wipe cache. Reboot

Will my apps and userdata still be there? Thanks in advance.

Download takes 6 hours.. What should I do with the zip? Will any of my data will be lost?
I have the .zip now. What to do next? Flashing boot.img throgh fastboot? I thought I should flash system.img but theres no .img file just a folder named "system"...
You will need to use adb push or adb sideload to install the rom . make sure not wipe data if it is presented as an option. And after it is installed, restore data ONLY from your backup you just toom

I'm copying it using adb push atm. After that I should install the .zip in recovery or?
And how can I restore data only? Thanks so much!
I just made the install of the ROM. I gussed the settings but I think I did everything right.
Found out how to restore data only and it's restoring atm..
Awesome.

Sorry for my late reply.
It worked! Not only that, its even better then before!
Apps like pry-fi often or always caused my device to reboot when I gave them superuser rights, now they're working!
I love you, Thanks soooo much..

Even xposed is working now. Do you have paypal? I'd like to send you a few dollars.

Hit my thanks buttons, thats all I ask! Enjoy the phone.
So I have a question I hope someone could help me with. Ive searched forums videos, cant seem to find out what to do and possibly hope my phone is not bricked. I wanted to root my htc one and followed the procedures to unlock the bootloader install twrp and then install superuser. Everything seemed fine till I accidentally erased evewrything in TWRP including the OS. Now the bootloader shows no os and running an RUU gives me an unknown error or wrong version error. I do have s on and cant seem to get that off either for the RUU to work. I am familiar wih fastboot but not adb and am completelt stumped on what to do right now. Can anyone of you smart techs help me get this issue resolved. Thanks for reading.

You can't use this RUU because its a downgrade. Downgrading require S-OFF. You will need to flash a custom rom or s-off your phone to be able to use this ruu,

You don't have to extract the zip file, just make sure it is in the fasatboot folder.
You don't flash a rom using fastboot!!! You must use a custom recovery i.e TWRP.
Boot your phone in recovery mode then
Code:
adb push <name_of_rom>.zip /sdcard/
then in recovery select ''install'' browse the sdcard and find your rom.zip. select it and swipe to install.

Your are using sideload the wrong way!
Code:
adb sideload kitkat.zip
NOT
Code:
adb sideload [COLOR="red"]KITKAT[/COLOR].zip [COLOR="red"]/sdcard/[/COLOR]
your file name is kitkat.zip so why do you type KITKAT.zip in the command prompt !?! You don't have to type /sdcard/ with sideload, only if you decide to use adb push !!
Code:
adb push kitkat.zip /sdcard/
So again use either adb sideload or adb push, not a combination of both!
ADB SIDELOAD:
boot your phone in twrp recovery, select ''Advanced'' --> ''ADB Sideload'' --> Swipe to sideload
then when your phone is in sideload mode open your command prompt and type:
Code:
adb sideload kitkat.zip
Wait until the transfer is complete, then reboot your recovery and install the rom.
or:
ADB PUSH:
boot your phone in twrp recovery (main menu)
open the command prompt and type:
Code:
adb push kitkat.zip /sdcard/
then choose "install'' and browse your sdcard to find ''kitkat''.zip. Select the file and swipe to install.
EDIT:
And why is adb inside a rom folder? Where is fastboot? You obviously don't know how to use fastboot and adb which is the base.
You really have to make some reading, you don't understand what you are doing. Stop and take some time to read this:
Read this to understand ADB and FASTBOOT
Read this for adb push and adb sideload instructions
I bricked my HTC One, totally not my fault I received a prompt to upgrade and then the thing crashed. Its stuck on the htc screen.
I tried finding a RUU file for my phone, couldnt get one that matched. Now I have installed TWRP, which works. My Bootloader is unblocked and says tampered also s-on. there is no os in the phone now so its ready for flashing a new rom.
I want to get my phone back in order. I've downloaded a custom rom I could use, wanted to ask if this is the same as using a ota file from the htcdev website ?
When I try to use twrp i cant use sideboot to push the roms, it just says trying to connect and doesnt, so I think adb doesnt work.
Can someone put me in the right direction or help out ?
I'm a complete newbie and have come far by unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp, would really appreciate it if someone can help.
Also tried using the option to find the file on my computer from twrp on my phone but it doesnt connect.
Everything is all set up I just need to flash a new rom and get going.
Thanks !

I dont have a USB OTG Cable, are there any other options ?
Is there a way of getting files on to the sdcard using fastboot ? tried using adb but dont know where I'm going wrong. It connects 'starting on port...etc' then when i run push commands says 'device not connected'.
Updated all the drivers and everything still no luck. Sideloader from twrp doesnt seem to work either.
I have the rom I want to use and a ruu file which i have tried to flash, its comes back with something like ' remote failed: 24 parshing etc'
Any help would be great !
Sorry, I face the same problem, l am not skilled enough to solve it, if you want flash a rom buy a USB OTG!

Sideloading
I'm sort of in the same boat. My m7 got into a bootloop after an OTA Lollipop update attempt.
I tried flashing files (RUUs) with fastboot but there always seemed to be technical problems that stopped me from doing that (noob).
So I decided to try the custom recovery route. And although I've been learning a huge amount in the last week I haven't really got my head around the TWRP basics.
So, considering the incredible amount of knowledge on this website I'd like to try to clear some issues up. All I want is a standard working phone.
Previously during my 'fastboot' adventure people were talking about RUUs. Are they still relevant when it comes to sideloading?
And where does TWRP come into it if ADB is 'pushing' the file accross? What is it there for?
What kind of
I'm 'unlocked' but s-on, is that an issue? Does the phone need to be rooted?
So, in a nutshell, now that I managed to put TWRP on the phone (very pleased with myself!) how does that make it easier for me to get my phone back to serviceability?
Loads of thanks to all the whizz kids out there.

No. RUU is a package including the rom (software) and the frimware (hboot, stock recovery, radio, kernel, touch drivers etc.)
RUU.zip are flashed using fastboot
RUU.exe are flashed automatically when laucnhing the .exe (the application handle the required fastboot commands automatically)
When speaking about adb sideload or adb push, the sidelaoded or pushed file is only a rom (software) unlike a ruu (software+firmware). The rom can either be custom or stock (e.g ARHD custom rom or a stock guru reset rom)
And where does TWRP come into it if ADB is 'pushing' the file accross? What is it there for?

ADB is used for the computer to communicate with the phone and in this case, to copy the rom from your computer to your phone. ADB doesn't flash (install) the rom on your phone, its only transfer the rom to your phone memory. TWRP is a recovery system, think of an alternate OS you can boot to perform basic tasks like installing rom (flashing rom), backups, restore, file manager ans few more.
BTW with newer versions of TWRP, you don't really need ADB to transfer (push or sideload) the rom to your phone. TWRP now support MTP protocol which mean you'll see your phone as a removable storage on your computer (like a usb thumb drive) when booted in twrp so can simply drag and drop the rom from your desktop to the phone memory.
I'm 'unlocked' but s-on, is that an issue? Does the phone need to be rooted?
So, in a nutshell, now that I managed to put TWRP on the phone (very pleased with myself!) how does that make it easier for me to get my phone back to serviceability?
Loads of thanks to all the whizz kids out there.

Better to post the output of "fastboot getvar all" before answering this. Depending on the output, it might be easier to restore your phone using a RUU. Remove your imei and serialno before posting the output here.

No. RUU is a package including the rom (software) and the frimware (hboot, stock recovery, radio, kernel, touch drivers etc.)
RUU.zip are flashed using fastboot
RUU.exe are flashed automatically when laucnhing the .exe (the application handle the required fastboot commands automatically)
When speaking about adb sideload or adb push, the sidelaoded or pushed file is only a rom (software) unlike a ruu (software+firmware). The rom can either be custom or stock (e.g ARHD custom rom or a stock guru reset rom)
ADB is used for the computer to communicate with the phone and in this case, to copy the rom from your computer to your phone. ADB doesn't flash (install) the rom on your phone, its only transfer the rom to your phone memory. TWRP is a recovery system, think of an alternate OS you can boot to perform basic tasks like installing rom (flashing rom), backups, restore, file manager ans few more.
BTW with newer versions of TWRP, you don't really need ADB to transfer (push or sideload) the rom to your phone. TWRP now support MTP protocol which mean you'll see your phone as a removable storage on your computer (like a usb thumb drive) when booted in twrp so can simply drag and drop the rom from your desktop to the phone memory.

What is the file name of this ruu? You should not be able to open the ruu.zip because they are encrypted. You could try to relock the bootloader and flash the 7.18.206.2 ruu.zip posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944. instruction how to flash in the same thread.
or
You can restore this stock backup using twrp then you can reflash the stock recovery and download the latest ota update.

boot in twrp, select "backup" then make a backup of "boot" only (this is only to generate a backup path on your phone: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/DATE_OF_BACKUP). Once the backup is done, navigate to that folder and delete all the files in that folder, but do not delete the folder and then take all the files in the backup you have downloaded and copy them to this folder (/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/DATE_OF_BACKUP).
Go back in twrp main menu, select "restore" and select the only backup available. Wait for the restore to complete and reboot.

Thanks, I'm on the case now. To be sure, the file that you specified starting /sdcard/ is different from the file where the phone just made the back up files.
The only file path I can access on the PC is Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055.
Is this correct?
I assume that references to an sdcard in file names is just nominal or a partition of the main drive.
Just like to be 100% clear.
Ah, I discovered that there is a file manager in TWRP! I now see that Those files are in the folder that you specified correctly.
However, when I go to the backup folder there is no file available. Are the files from the nandroid zip to be extracted first or is the zip file supposed to be copied whole?
I tried both methods and there is still no file to be seen in the restore window!
Have I done something wrong?

Yes on your pc you'll see Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055\date_of_your_backup\Backup_files_here
On your phone its /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/FA36PW918055/date_of_your_backup/Backup_files_here
Make a backup of boot only, then using your computer navigate to that folder (Computer\One\Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\FA36PW918055\date_of_backup) and delete all files in this folder and replaced them with all files from the backup you have downloaded. Then in twrp select "restore" and restore all partitions of this backup.

Sorry for the late reply, glad to know that you have managed to restore the backup. To be able to install ota update you'll need to flash the stock recovery over twrp.
Stock recovery for your version can be downloaded from this link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646670
save it in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer and flash it like you did for twrp:
reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode then open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery M7_UL_Stock_Recovery_6.14.206.2.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Once rebooted in the os and the stock recovery flashed, you can install the ota updates: settings --> about --> Software info --> check for updates.

Thanks very much for the support, great community on here, love it.
Really thought that was the end of my One but it's incredible what a bit of perseverance does for you.
I'll give that update a go, maybe now I have the confidence to experiment a bit more with the phone.
Thanks again!
Hello,
I've used my HTC ONE now 1 year. I've had no problem with it, till now...
Everytime I start a app, my phone restarts. I have rooted it once, but I regretted it ever since.
Now I want to go back to stock, but I can't find the right RUU EXE File. The only thing I know is that I bought my phone in The Netherlands. Not T-Mobile though.
Do you know which RUU I need?
Thanks in advance,
Clint

There is no RUU for you version. What you could do is to s-off the phone, change CID and run another RUU like the 1.28.401.7 (international unbranded)

you will first need to unlock the bootloader (will wipe phone and void warranty if any left)
flash a custom recovery and root
use revone or moonshine to s-off
change CID using fastboot
and finally run the ruu
every steps already explained in this forum
or if you don't want to do all of this, you could simply flash a custom rom, much more easy if you don't have experience.

That is normal since you unlocked your bootloader then relocked it. I found a TWRP backup 5.16.111.4 for your phone. You will have to unlock it and flash TWRP. You will need to make some directories on your phone if you don't already have a TWRP backup on your phone: TWRP >> BACKUPS >> <Your Serial No> >> Folder name that the file extracted
Once you get the folder on your phone, you can boot into recovery and on the main screen select restore. You should see the folder name there, just select it and follow the instructions.

While in Recovery, choose Backup then backup your system. After it is finished reboot back to system. With your phone connected using your file manager you will see the TWRP directory. Expand it out and you should see the backup you just created. Put the nandroid folder that was extracted in the same sub directory as your backup. Once, that is done you can go back into TWRP and you should see the folder in the Restore.

Go into TWRP and select Advance Wipe then select Data. It should format the partition and then you can try to Backup again.

While in Recovery, choose Backup then backup your system. After it is finished reboot back to system. With your phone connected using your file manager you will see the TWRP directory. Expand it out and you should see the backup you just created. Put the nandroid folder that was extracted in the same sub directory as your backup. Once, that is done you can go back into TWRP and you should see the folder in the Restore.

When I want to make a backup, it just says something like:

Sorry for that post...
My bootloader is unlocked. I use v2.5.0.0
If I use advanced wipe, it still says
Unbale to mount /cache
and all that stuff....

FOR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO THIS BACKUP, PLEASE GO DOWN A COUPLE POSTS, SPECIFICALLY HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59150233&postcount=3
Thanks!
So far during this weekend there has been considerable progress on the quest to completely dominate this phone. Member jodge managed to get his VM/Sprint S-OFF and right after that SuperCID of course. You can pickup the story here. However there is something we need in order to move forward and we need it badly: a Telus TWRP Backup.
I am not one to charge for helping out whenever I can, but I have helped a few Telus guys, even PMed them requesting a Telus backup and so far no one has come forward and honestly I am little disappointed. I know it's a pain if you did not make a backup before you set up your phone, but we really need a Telus TWRP stock backup. I can provide complete instructions if you need. PM me at will.
Thanks very much!
NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE OR ANYTHING, BUT . . . .
C'mon all you the people that complain
and/or ask constantly about the potential to
unlock the sim, this would be your time
to help out and further the cause!
I'm sure other GSM carrier backups would be
helpful as well.
IT'S YOUR TIME TO SHINE AND BE
THE CONTRIBUTION!
Hi
pls check the following thing before do anything:
phone in fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot getvar platform
platform: hTCBmsm8226 <--- just this cpu works!
After that we need the whole backup! Unfortunately nandroid backup not enough
This process won't harm your phone, it's just a simple reading
You need at least 8gb sd card in the phone
A phone with unlocked boot (htcdev.com)
in the pc (phone in fastboot mode)
Code:
[B]fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-a11.img[/B]
in the twrp--> mount --> tick system
int the pc:
Code:
[B]
adb shell[/B]
Code:
[B]ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name[/B]
<-- you get all partitons by name and by number
Code:
[B]dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/external_sd/1.bin[/B]
Code:
[B]dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/external_sd/2.bin[/B]
Code:
[B]dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/external_sd/3.bin[/B]
and all other partition (40-44 pcs)
thx
I have a 64 bit phone. So there is no twrp for me otherwise I'd love to get this for you even though I'm not using a telus build.
If this depended on you Burtrum57, we would have had it a couple of month ago

Your lord and saviour is here. I'm not experienced at backing up and stuff but I have an unlocked bootloader and yes, I am on Telus. I am willing to help you guys and I know jdmederios I pm'd you before asking you if you needed a backup and you said it was okay. Since you helped me out, it's only fair to help you right? So if you guys can walk me through this process, I'll be completely fine with helping you guys out!
How will I backup my current data so I can restore it after everything? Just make a TWRP backup of what I have now?
Great to hear from you karmasblade! Stand by as I prepare a script, test it on my phone and send it to you. I imagine you have TWRP installed. I will PM you as soon as I test my script on my phone, just to make sure it works fine. Thanks a lot for your help!

I decided to place the instructions here in the open so that others can review them and eventually find some mistakes. karmasblade you owe me absolutely nothing and if you decide this is too much of a pain I completely understand.
karmasblade, BEFORE YOU DO THIS I WOULD LIKE 2 OR 3 SENIOR MEMBERS TO VALIDADE THESE INSTRUCTIONS; THAT'S WHY THEY ARE HERE INSTEAD OF ME JUST PM YOU
If you decide to do it, make sure you copy paste the commands whenever possible. The following steps are needed to make sure you do not share any personal information. If your phone did not have any personal information you would just have to do steps 16 through 19 and then upload the folder.
1. You will need your Unlock_code.bin from HTCDEV; if you still have it great (it may still be in your email) otherwise you need to go through the bootloader unlock procedure up to the step where you get an email from HTC with the file Unlock_code.bin which you should place in the folder where you have fastboot.exe
2. You will need openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-a11.img which you can get here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/a11/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-a11.img and save it in the same folder where you have fastboot.exe
3. Download this RUU https://mega.co.nz/#!6Z4SQDTA!3W89qbflxnQhE8fr_QnJMBFAO3aCHKcdkegFtxQ6tuY rename it to 0PCVIMGXXX and place it in the root of the sdcard
4. Connect the phone to the PC and run “abd shell”, “su” and then “cat /proc/emmc” From this list you need to find out the highest numbered block. In my case it’s mmcblk0p44 and therefore the number is 44.
5. Connect the phone to the PC and run "adb reboot recovery" When the recovery menu comes up on the phone press "Backup" On the top of the screen, press "Backup Name", add a few characters to the name so you know it's this backup and hit the return key
6. After the backup is complete, from the main menu, press "Wipe", then "Advanced Wipe" and select the first 4 options: Dalvik, System, Cache, Data; Slide to Wipe
7. From the PC run "adb shell" and then execute "mv /external_sd/0PCVIMGXXX /external_sd/0PCVIMG.zip"
8. From the main menu Press "Reboot" and then "Bootloader". It will say "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" Press "Swipe to Reboot". It will then say "Install SuperSU?" and you should press "Do Not Install". After a few seconds (about 8) it will reboot. It will say "FASTBOOT USB" in red and "HBOOT" in the blue bar.
9. From the PC run "fastboot oem lock". The phone will reboot and come back to the same screen.
10. Press the Power button once; when you do this it will search your sdcard looking for the 0PCVIMG.zip and it will install it. Eventually it will say "Update Complete..." press <POWER> to reboot. Hit the "Power" button to reboot.
11. Once the phone boots, got to settings and turn on developer options and usb debuging. On the phone run the File Manager application, open the sdcard and rename 0PCVIMG.zip to 0PCVIMGXXX.
12. From the PC run "adb reboot bootloader"
13. Unlock the bootloader... from the PC run "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" and the phone will reboot.
14. From the PC run "adb reboot bootloader"
15. From the PC install recovery “fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-a11.img”
16. Reboot to Recovery by pressing the Power button and then VOL down to select RECOVERY followed by the Power button again, It will go to the Recovery menu.
17. Form the PC run “adb shell”
18. Inside the shell run “mkdir /external_sd/mmcblks”
19. For this step you will need the number from Step 4. If it’s not 44 then change the 44 in the following command. Inside the shell run
Code:
for i in `seq 1 44`; do dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p$i of=/external_sd/mmcblks/mmcblk0p$i.bin; done
This will take a while as it copies the memory blocks to the folder mmcblks in the sdcard.
20. From the Recovery menu, select Restore, select the backup you did on Step 5 and restore your phone. Reboot system and you should have your original phone back.
21. If you had a kernel other than the stock kernel installed you will have to install it again. To do that you would reboot to fastboot running “adb reboot bootloader” and then “fastboot flash boot xxxxxxxxxxx.img”.
22. That’s it; you would then have to upload the folder mmcblks to a place like Mega.

Would a Fido back up (same model number as Telus) help?
Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using XDA Free mobile app
...a lady for the rescue. About time
Please do this:
1. Connect the phone to the usb port and run:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/emmc
Your last line should say something like mmcblk0p44: 48000000 00000200 "userdata". What is you last memory block number? Mine is 44.
2. Run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3. After it reboots, run:
Code:
fastboot getvar platform
If it says "platform: hTCBmsm8226" and your last memory block is around 44 then you could certainly help us.
4. Run
Code:
fastboot reboot
to restart your phone.
Thank you!

Yes, that is exactly what we are looking for and thank you for being willing to help us. Please follow this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59172863&postcount=8 and be sure to copy paste as much as possble; for example in step 3 I say "...rename it to 0PCVIMGXXX..." That first character looks like the letter "O" but it's actually a zero. Also make sure that each step completes without error before moving on to the next step. I edited the post adding a little more information to steps 11 and 16. Let me know if you have any problem. Thank you!

great news
thx for the support
One quick question before I really proceed to wipe anything through TWRP 2.8.5.0, would my original ROM be wiped and I can be running in boot loop?? In particular: "6. After the backup is complete, from the main menu, press "Wipe", then "Advanced Wipe" and select the first 4 options: Dalvik, System, Cache, Data; Slide to Wipe"
PS would need to gather a few things to really proceed (ie looking to find a spare/blank microSD card), should be done on the weekend.

Im guessing it requires a membership of some sort? If so how much, Im a bit strapped for cash so you'll have to wait a couple weeks for me to get to it if so.
Thanks, but no, don't worry about it, eventually it pop up or someone with access will share it, just like I have done with so many files.
