[Q] HTC One stuck in white starting screen

Hi!
My brother tried to update the latest update for his HTC One and at some point it restarted and is now stuck in the white starting screen.
It's stock, I just unlocked the bootloader, but apart from that I would like to not root the phone.
I tried several things - I can get into the bootloader and also into fastboot, I did a factory reset and wiped the cache, nothing helped.
For some reason I can't do some things through fastboot, if I try for example to do "fastboot continue" I get "resuming boot... FAILED (remote: not allowed)".
Here is the bootloader information:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.54.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.17.3250.14
(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-d959c75800
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11

Also, I'm using Mac.
If you need anymore information led me know and I will try to provide them.
Can anyone help?

Thanks for the advice, edited them out!

I'm not too familiar with restoring a stock phone, but I would try running an RUU.
As you phone is stock anyway you should only need to run the RUU.exe.
I would try following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
You might need to gain S-OFF to then downgrade your HBOOT version for some RUUs to work.

The problem with running an RUU is that there isn't one for this version.
It's a O2 Germany, with the cidnum: O2___102 - I googled a lot, but I couldn't find a RUU for this, only a nandroid backup, which I can't use because I haven't CWM or a different CR.
Also to get S-OFF I need to root the phone which I didn't want to do.
Problem is solved anyways, my brother brought the phone to the store to get it fixed - let's hope he doesn't have to pay because I unlocked the HBOOT.
Thanks for your help!

Shouldn't have to pay, I know all this thing about warranty voiding if you unlock the boot loader, but i've never had this issue or know anyone that has. My brother took his HTC back as the USB port became loose and developed a faulty connection, fully rooted, s-off and unlock boot loader!
They fixed it no questions asked, only they did flash an RUU so the phone was s-on and locked again.
Should be fine

[Q] m7_u HBOOT MOD help? [SOLVED]

Hi, I've been trying to remove the red text from splash screen (I changed the splash to include owner info) for my phone but so far no luck. I've been spending the night searching the forums and it seems that changing the HBOOT would solve my problem. However I can't seem to find one compatible for my phone. Is there any other way for me to do so?

I flashed my s-off GSM phone with a full Google Play Edition RUU which contains a really nice black bootloader with a little gray padlock. If you don't want to do that there is a dev thread for installing a custom hboot that you can use to remove the red text. If you cant find it let me know and I'll see if I can find it.

you can flash any modified m7_u firmware which will contain a modified HBOOT to remove red text, due to being s-off, you must change your cid and mid to match the firmware that you want to use first.
NEVER GO S-ON WITH A MODIFIED HBOOT / FIRMWARE, IT WILL LEAD TO AN INSTANT BRICK.

I do have a lot of questions right now:

That is the bootloader I am referring to, although I did not install it separately as it was just "part of the package" when running the GPE RUU. I think thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 may be more what you are looking for, although I have no idea if the specific hboot offered is the one you need.

I am actually contemplating on flashing that specific HBOOT right now (check my reply to Sean), but I wouldn't know what to do if it does brick my phone. >_<

It can be a significant risk considering that the bootloader is basically the lowest tier of connectivity users like us have, therefore offering little in the way of options for recovering from a failed attempt.. I suggest reading that whole thread and seeing what has been happening to others. I assume that any attempt to flash a new hboot would fail harmlessly if something did go wrong. The main thing to consider is that no matter what we do to our s-off HTC devices, we have the luxury of bringing the device home to mama with a full RUU flash. If a failed hboot install blocks you from accessing the RUU mode, then you may be well and truly screwed. But all that being said, I have installed a custom hboot once before (I cant even remember why now, perhaps it was pre GPE) and everything went just fine. It goes without saying that you should read the OPs directions over and over until you are sure you have your head all the way around what you are doing before you begin. Also, as the user above offered in quite justified allcaps, you must NEVER EVER try to go back S-on while running a nonstock hboot! This will result in a device recoverable only by jtag service.

Thanks all. Followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506) with my fingers crossed and all was well.

So first of all, I assume you have successfully unlocked your bootloader for flashing a ROM, recovery etc. You can check it if you boot into bootloader by pressing vol. up and power button. S-off is required to manually do a firmware upgrade. S-off is gained via many methods. There are many threads in the general or FAQ section ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488772 ).
I recommend you to read any s-off related thread in general and FAQ. This is also a good information for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431515
The newest firmware is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2965090 . Also usually there is described how you flash it.
Basically there are 3 kinds of roms you can use: stock CyanogenMod nightlies, Google play edition or sense edition.
I recommended you that u get the supercid, so you can easily switch between ROMs and you have less problems with a ruu (in case you brick something, a ruu is a good alternative to a repair shop. It is a stock nandroid backup). How to supercid is described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536 .
So after you s-offed and firmware upgraded your phone, you have to get the newest twrp recovery. Just Google twrp and go on their site. If you search for your phone you can download the recovery and also read how to flash it.
I used the three different roms:
InsertCoin Sense ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694142
GPE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2963927
CyanogenMod: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7
But first, you must answer yourself the question if you want to install custom roms. Now that Lollipop is also out there, there is no basically need for a custom rom. Sure custom roms can give you more features, tweaks and other stuff, but if you don't really need it, you can just go back to full stock device via: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
Take the disclaimers serious. Though anyone will help you if he/she can, but if you do something wrong you can just blame yourself. No one will buy you a new phone if you bricked it. You are fully responsible for what you do with your phone. But I can say that if you just read all the links I provided, check everything 3 times or more, it is a pretty easy thing to do all the mind blowing stuff.
If you have any questions, just ask.

Please help!!!

I have tried the latest rom for htc that was recommended from xda. was told to unlock bootloader push rom to device. then relock device the open twrp and install rom but this will not work because the bootloader is locked.

Please just post in one thread only! Remove the IMEI information from getvar information.
There appears to be a RUU for your device here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
See 7.19.980.5
However your current version main is 7.21.980.35 so I'm not sure it will flash since the device has a newer version already installed. Scroll to the bottom of the page and read the instructions for "How to downgrade with S-ON" and change the current version main to 7.19.980.5 then flash the RUU.
Hope this works for you

@mb_guy This is real mess now lol, he posted at 3 different places, one member telling him to unlock and flash a custom rom (which is ok), another member telling him to flash the wrong RUU without even looking at his getvar and us now telling him to do something different here. Hope he now understand why he shouldn't create 2 threads for the same issues and post in a 3rd one... : Contradictory advice and confusion :crying:

A BIG thank you
I would like to thank the team and their members for helping me Restore my HTC back to normal. It was a very frustrating and time consuming process for a novice phone hacker. but managed to get everything back to normal from this last thread response, and managed to unlock, root and s-off as well, which was the process i was trying to achieve in thew first place. I now have backed up my phone system and kept a copy of the working ROM.
I am sorry for any issues that I may have caused by creating a new forum thread, I didn't realise this was bad online etiquette. It was purely because I was not getting the right responses from the existing threads, and mostly because I am not that familiar with how forums work.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Yes but root might be a problem. Lot of ppl ended with softbricked phone after installing a Lollipop ota update over a rooted stock rom. Backup your files first, then try to update. If that doesn't work you can always re-flash the RUU and take all ota updates before rooting.

No ROM, No Recovery, Relocked, Tampered, Security Warning

I've been searching around for a solution to fix my device with all of my attempts failing. I have a HTC One M7 from Telus (Newfoundland, Canada) which is about 3 years old. It's in great condition and has been well taken care of. I had been using CM 12.1 and TWRP right up until a few days ago. My intentions were to bring my phone back to factory settings without any root capabilities as the newest update for Pokémon Go requires you to have an un-rooted device. Obviously my efforts to go back to factory settings were in vain as now my phone is basically one step away from being bricked. I can load up the bootloader just fine and acheive fastboot without any problems although anything beyond there fails everytime (ie. enter recovery mode).
I'm able to do stuff with it using ADB tools via my pc so not all hope is lost just yet. Could anyone provide step by step instructions on how to get the phone back to an untampered state as well as links to the files i'll need to do so? I have yet to find any ROM's for a TELUS M7 as well as the default recovery tools. I keep seeing links to utilities which apparently are a basic one-click-fix though none of them have worked thusfar (my most recent one is called "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8_R_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_351500_signed_2.exe" which seems to work right up until it gets to the HEADER portion where it doesn't move past 5%)
I've since bought a new phone which is an extreme pain to use as, in my opinion, it's a huge downgrade from what i've been using (LG-K121)
Any and all help is muchly appreciated [:=

When a phone is S-ON you can only flash a RUU that is same or newer version than your actual version. Unfortunately your version-main is blank (this is bug caused by an old twrp version) so we can't exactly know the version it was running. The 1.61 hboot version and CID/MID suggest a 7.17.661.?? version. The newest RUU version available is 7.17.661.7
Try to flash it (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944)
Use instruction provided at post #1 of that thread to flash the RUU ****make sure to use the fastboot version provided in that thread***.
If your phone was running a newer bersion than that (i.e 7.17.661.52) the RUU won't flash and we'll have to try something else.
Btw did you already relocked your bootloader? If no make sure to reflash the stock recovery over twrp before re-locking.

Alrighty, just to reiterate before I get into it, you suggested I choose the 7.17.661.7 version correct?

Yep try this version first and if it's not working we'll try something else. You'll have to relock your bootloader before flashing the ruu, male sure to flash the stock recovery (linked above) before relocking.

My Bootloader has already been Relocked, should I be doing something else to get a working recovery on there before I begin flashing the RUU?

no problem. Update your phone to the latest version before unlocking and rooting. The latest one is .52

One final question - is there a default recovery on there now that everything is set up and running properly or will I need to dig up a factory recovery, achieve S-OFF & flash it on there?

When flashing a RUU, the stock recovery is installed on the phone. The stock recovery is very limited, it can be used to install ota updates, clear cache and factory reset. If you want to make a backup of your whole phone you'll need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (preferably TWRP).

My only issue with going back to custom ROM's (which I waaay prefer over stock as stock ROM's are super limited in so many ways) is I will be prevented from playing Pokémon Go as Niantic have recently disallowed such operating systems from running their app altogether. I don't care for using apps which would be considered 'cheating' or 'exploiting' but with a custom ROM i'd be completely forced to stop playing it no matter how I choose to do so (yes it's silly that i'm basing my decision around that one simple game which isn't even all that great as far as Pokémon games go but it's what I do to pass time during my work breaks 6 nights a week).
Until a fail-safe workaround is made for this tiny issue, i'm stuck with Official 5.0.2 (blek!) and Sense - at the very least I can use a custom Launcher but that's about all I can do.

I played the game for 2-3 days at launch and it was easy to spoof a fake gps location to cheat. To do that I also had to hide the fact the I was using "mock location" from the developer options using an Xposed module or the game would detect it. I guess its also really easy to hide the fact the you are using a custom rom/root from pokémon go using the same method... Not tried but im sure it can be done.

I assume it was easy prior to the current update - they've cracked down on 'spoof players' about a week or so ago
