[Q] Rooting HTC one MAX - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] Rooting HTC one MAX - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all together,
i end up here because i could not find any other Resolution on the net to get a rooting working ! So perhaps someone can give me an advise on this !?
I am working now since a week on this problem to get my HTC on Max rooted but nothing seem to work, several downloads from the net and studi all of the existing Youtube videos with al lot of houres of trying and working on this.
What i have:
HTC one Max with 4.3 date 27.11.2013 and htc sense 5.5, 11GB with 32 GB SD (in the monent no Sim installed)
What i already did with success:
Aktivated Developers mode and USB Debugging (get adb Device and fastboot device to see my phone in PROMPT)
Under Powersettings Disabled "FASTBOOT"
Unblocked the Bootloader, so i see in the fastboot of the phone in the first lines the Information *TEMPERED* and in the seconfd line *UNBLOCKED* so that means that all this work is done O.K. without any Problems also to flash offcorse the right ROM image.
(this i did with the Prompt fastboot method: fastboot flash recovery ......img, then fastboot clear cache).
Copyed the SU to Root of Phone to make then after recoveryrestard the root. -Latest Verion-
So here now the Problem where i stuck since some days and Nights without any resolution:
After all done (up mentioned) i go with Vol Down and Power to fastboot and choose the second line Recovery and confirm with Powerbutton (after a while the phone suppose to enter into the recovery so that i could choose the SU-ZIP - the normal way), but now the Phone reboots into white screen and shows on top Pink line like Phone Recovery (this all still looks good), then nothing happens (where it supose to start after that my rom to enter and choose the SU-ZIP).
It just turns off after a while to black screen and reboots normaly like i turn the phone on up into the normal Phone-Desktop !
So it was not entering into the recovery and with this i could not start the SU-ZIP, so the phone is not rooted.
Thanks for any help and sugesstion (sorry for my bad english)
So do you have any idear what i perhaps have maked wrong !? or do i have to downgrade the Phone perhaps to 4.2 !?

[Q] Help! - Bricked Incredible S, S-ON, unable to boot past HTC logo

Hi guys,
what I have:
Optus (AU) HTC Incredible S - it was running 2.3.3 fine, no hacks/root or anything has been done to it. [I've done a vol down + power button hboot thingy and it says S-ON]
what happened:
I connected the phone to a WIFI network to update my apps, it started updating many apps. mid-way through the updates, the phone became unresponsive and apparently hung, left it alone for a few hours, it remained hung.
I disconnected the power and pulled the battery.
The phone has since refused to boot past the HTC splash logo.
What I've tried:
I've tried rooting the phone with Revolutionary - however I can't complete the steps as I am unable to boot the phone.
I've tried Hboot with the [PG32IMG.zip] file - nothing seemed to change
I've tried usb fastboot with adb and fastboot - Signature verification failed [well, it is S-ON]
I've tried recovery - failed, gave me 3 arrows, 2 in a circular pattern and one straight, followed by a phone icon and a red triangle and ! mark
I've tried running the RUU.exe file for 2.3.3 optus, but it does not get past 'rebooting to bootloader'
Current situation:
I've spent around 6 hours trying to figure out what went wrong and make it work ... but nothing seems to work ... so guys ... i really could use some help ...
btw, I can't warranty it as I purchased the phone in Australia, but now am in Singapore ... I'll be returning to Australia in January though ...
All help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated ...
Thanks!

hey buddy
well , the easy way to solve your problem is to download the stock rom for your device , and install it using the offical HTC exe ( the rom exe ) .
it will do it all and get your device like brand new .
hope this solve it .

If the above doesn't work send it to any htc repair center. You have to pay but whatever.

Hey hassanhm,
thanks for the reply. I've tried searching the HTC official website for the stock rom, however it is not available for download due to the fact that firmware upgrades are now over the air ..
i've downloaded the RUU rom by optus (RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio _20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_s igned
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cfdd...028_signed.exe) found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922 - however it just gets stuck on the booting to bootloader step ...
if there a different stock rom exe file i should be using?
Thanks!

I'm a singaporean. Its uncommon to see this kinda stuff :/

looks like dead motherboard i saw thing like that already

I'm from Singapore. I had this issue, spent a day flashing and rebooting to try and fix it. Then I have up and just flashed an official ROM, I think any one will do, then sent it to HTC. It was still s-off but they didn't care. Took just 3 days and they sent it back, fixed and like brand new. I suggest you don't waste time and just sent to HTC. it will come back s-on but you can just root it again.
Hope this helps!
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App

There's one but when they put latest Hboot (1.16.0000)then it's harder to flash ROM than 1.13.0000. Hope you get your phone back and it's working

You must be able to revive, since you did not do anything related to s-off, rooting etc. rooting, s-offing are for modding addict fellow

Revolutionary only work on phone with NORMAL BOOTING (Android booting). If you did on fastboot then (I Think) you start create big trouble

This will only work for UPDATE, mean you must use higher version of ROM than in the phone (if you are s-on) -CMIIW-

can you post your mainver : FYI, I could NOT resolve my vivo since my situation is worse than you, but probably my experience with unsuccesfull result will give different output ... who knows.
on fastboot (I'm sure You know how to do) fastboot getvar all (windows command) and post the output for our analysing together and help each other.

what did you do before stuck. Can you boot into bootloader (?) are you S-ON or S-OFF (?) what is Hboot version do you have. To have bootloader state : press power and volume down button SIMULTANEOUSLY if within TEN MINUTES you do not have bootloader status you should stop and let us know here

Thanks for the reply. Its S-On, Hboot 1.13, I was simply browsing using the phone when it restarted and stuck with the htc logo.

I'm wondering. You probably did not enable fastboot option > setting > power > UNTHICK fastboot item.
On your today phone state you can not do it. Do you remember ? you enable fastboot option or not. Presumed you enable fastboot option then you can go to bootloader by pressing power and volume down buttons simultaneously > once you come into bootloader there is an option FACTORY RESET. If you see RED TRIANGLE. No other choice (AFAIK) you need to download the RUU of your phone and just run RUU ... all your personal user data will be wiped.

Thanks again for the reply. when i choose the factory reset the phone hangs but when i select recovery it goes to the red triangle logo. Where and how can i know whats RUU of my phone? Sorry im literally a noob.

3 days ago, i was having the same problen but i could solve it
Here what you can do:
1. Eject your sd card and insert another android phone. You can create a gold card over another android phone (Making gold card is completely independent from android version or phone model. Trust me.). You can search the forum, there are a lot of guides for making a gold card.
2. Boot into fastboot, plug your usb cable. Open a windows console, and send that command:
Fastboot getvar mainver
It will tell you your mainver.
3. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.co m/showthread.php?t=1359555 .
In there, you can find original rom list. Choose one which has higher mainver than yours then download it. The thread also explains how to install the original rom.

Just for additional info. If you can not find another android/windows phone to get sdcard CID (you have only one phone and now in trouble). You can use any laptop with Built In card reader at PCI slot and NOT USB STORAGE if you were not have BOTH ... it's time to ask help your neighbour or your friends

[Q] RUU - Stuck to "HTC" on screen

Coucou !
I need to put my HTC Desire C back as new, therefore I looked for RUU stuff.
I checked this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035480, trying to follow it the more I can. HTC Sync as well as Android SDK (up to date) are present on my laptop using Windows 7 64.
1. I re-lock the phone: fastboot oem lock.
2. I downloaded the RUU from: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Golf, file: RUU_GOLF_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_2.00.401.2_Radio_10.11.98.09H_1.06.98.13M2_release_295101_signed.exe
3. I ran with administrator rights the RUU til first screen, asking for agreement.
4. I extracted the recovery_signed.img and flashed it. Fine.
5. I followed the instructions on the screen.
6. It says (translation from french, sorry if it's not exactly what you'll have on an english screen): "checking", "rebooting to bootloader", "waiting for bootloader", "erase user's data" and finally "sending". On my phone screen, there is a white HTC on a black screen.
And it is stuck there. I waited for an hour, still there.
When I disconnect the phone, it says:
- On my computer: error 155: error to image update
- On my phone: a white RUU on an orange background, under classical "*** Relocked ***" (and sometimes "*** Security warning ***") and "GolfU PVT SHIP S-ON RL", then "HBOOT-1.31.000", then "RADIO-1.10.98.15", then "eMMC-boot", then "Jul 12 2012, 15:44:30".
I followed the instruction to "recover" (correct ? button at the bottom and righ of the window), nothing good. I restarted the phone, the laptop, nothing changes.
What can I do?
If you want, I can take screen captures to show you.

i think you also need to flash the stock boot.img

Coucou Bogdy,
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your answer. But, sadly, it didn't work.
I flashed the boot.img, extracted from the "temp" directory , like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I ran the program and the same thing, stuck on HTC logo, then started the repair stuff, and again stuck on HTC logo.
Does somebody have an idea?

you could also try flashing a stock rom+boot+recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220396&page=2
from what i experienced with a stock based custom rom is that when activating data connection the phone restarts(radio versions differ) so this could happen with a stock rom(not sure)
as for the RUU,i've read that if the hboot version on the phone is higher than the RUU's it won't flash. also i think that the RUU you have only works on european CID but i could be wrong.
you should wait for a more "PRO" answer

Thanks again for your answer, Bogdy.
I'm downloading from the link from the post you suggest me. When it's finished, good or bad, I'll come back.

Coucou !
Well done. Now it's OK, I could flash the original ROM and the phone works perfectly.
Thank you for your help.

You could also do this: - lock bootloader
- power on device
- enable adb debugging on device
- make sure you have adb and fasboot working corectly
- connect device via usb to PC
- run RUU with administrator rights
- and from there on just follow the instructions given by software
you really need the 2-4 lines i mentioned up for this to work
no need to flash anything recovery or boot if it's an .exe
if it's a .zip you need to :
flash via custom recovery and flash boot and recovery via fastboot

Coucou Makerrr,
More or less, it is what I've done. I haven't check if adb were working, nevertheless. So it may be the cause of all my problems. But I won't know because I followed Bogdy's way and the job is done, the phone is completly configured, and already in my wife's hand.
Next time, I'll try your way. So thanks a lot.

Help needed! Cannot boot into either Flash mode or Fastboot mode

Hi all,
A few years ago (well when the devices has pretty much just come out), I ran a mod which i found on the XDA website that allowed me to root my partners Xperia T (LT30P),
Everything has been fine until recently, where I've wanted to upgrade the ROM on the phone, but this is where i'm having some major problems.!
Essentially I cant get the phone to boot into either Flash mode (green LED) or Fastboot mode (Blue LED). I've tried the volume down and then connecting the USB cable to my PC (on which the correct drivers are installed via Flashtool). and also the volume up for Fastboot. Neither work. Unsure if the phone has an unlocked bootloader or if that matters (im a Samsung man and used to working with that, so all the Xperia modding is totally new to me... :/
So far ive tried the following:
-Volume down key and plugging into USB port - Result: Phone remains switched off.
-Volume up key pressed in and then plugging into USB port. - Result: Phone remains switched off
-Enabled USB debugging and attempted to boot the phone into flash mode via ADB (Flashtool option). Phone simply reboots.
-Attempted inbuilt software update - Update downloads, but fails at 25% approx when it reboots and attempts the install.
-PC companion equally unsuccessful on my PC, as cant enable flash mode.
I'm totally at a loss at how to flash a fresh complete build (using a ftf file) to the phone without access to flash mode or fastboot mode. Anyone got any idea or know of any tools that might allow me to to completely rebuild the phone so all partitions are present and correct?
One idea i had was to flash a recovery to the phone using FlashR or alike, but cant seem to get it to work either. Flashr looks to install the twrp recovery, but when i attempt to reboot into recovery via Flashr or Rom Manager (another tool i use but not sure if useable on xperia phones?), the phone simply reboots. SOunds like a damaged or wiped partition perhaps?
Anyhoo , any ideas would be welcome guys! Too good a phone to just leave in the drawer
Cheers
Craig.

Cant you flash a boot.img (maybe from cm11 or something) with inbuilt recovery? You can use this for flashing

Ok, I've started writing this reply and lost everything near the end, started freaking out, calmed down and decided to do it again, cause I know what it's like to have a phone that's not behaving as it should. So here goes the shorter-ish version cause I really can't type everything again...
Make sure your volume buttons are working at all (I mean when the phone is booted). They work? good, procced. They don't? we can bypass that, but you, should get them fixed.
Got to this thread and download the latest build of the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-t-v/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-neo-s-homebuilds-t2984988
Extract the boot.img file from the zip and copy it to the root of your external micro sdcard, NOT IN A FOLDER. If you don't have an sdcard, put in on the internal storage, again, not in a folder.
Root your phone if you haven't. There are plenty of threads on that here on xda
Download an app called Terminal Emulator from the Play Store
Open the app and type su into the prompt.
Grant the app superuser/root access
The following step is the dangerous one where you can seriously break your phone forever. I'm not responsible for anything you mess up. You alone chose to do this
Run the following command in the terminal (be sure that the $ at the end of the line changed to a # (That means you're in root shell, but it's not important))
If you don't have an external sdcard type sdcard0 instead of sdcard1
Code:
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/Kernel
Connect the phone to a PC with fastboot drivers installed
Next execute this command and your phone should now boot into fastboot
Code:
reboot bootloader
If a blue LED lights up, you can happily continue flashing kernels and ROMs, if not report back and I'll see if I can help you

Cheers gents. Going to give this a shot tonight. I read last night that some builds out there where you cannot unlock the bootloader (which you can check via service menu)? Is that now bypassable?

No and it probably never will be. It's hardcoded on the chip. If your phone is bought with a contract binding or it's limited to a single provider, then chances are that you will never be able to unlock the bootloader and flash kernels. It could be that you not being able to get into fastboot is because it's restricted on the device itself [citation needed]. In that case you're screwed and can pretty much forget the whole custom kernel thing. Only ROMs for locked bootloaders

Htc one mini 2 stuck in startscreen - fastboot mode available.

About two months back, I rooted my htc one mini 2.
Unlocked the bootloader, installed a new recovery (This one) and finally rooted the device. I wanted to install different fonts for it, and in the process relocked the bootloader again.
Now, after several weeks of not doing anything regarding the root, my phone has errors after errors.
First, Google Play stopped working, and along with it, Youtube and the Play Store of course.
About two weeks later, even the "internet" app stopped working.
Today i wanted to start my phone only to find it stuck in the starting screen. (Looks like this)
What I want to do now is get my phone factory resetted, not rooted anymore and WORKING.
What I tried to do is get the phone into fastbood mode (this worked) and connecting it with the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" console. (This did NOT work)
Rebooting the device from the fastboot menu did not work, it either gets stuck in the loading screen again or directly enters fastboot.
What can I do to make my phone work again?
I hope you can help me :/

Try unlocking the bootloader again.Flash the custom recovery and then flash the stock rom available in the development section. It looks like your system partition got corrupted

How can i unlock the bootloader again?
The only way i know is via the console and "fastboot oem unlock" - i cant get my phone to connect though.
The available devices the console gives me are an emulator and three times my phone, which is/are offline.
Edit:
Stupid me. "Fastboot oem devices" and it shows my phone in fastboot mode.
Next problem: "fastboot oem unlock" does not work, and flashing the recovery with "fastboot flash myrecovery.img" doesn't work either :/
Edit 2: Managed to unlock the bootloader again (mistook the android folder with de adb folder, no unlocktoken there of course)
Directly after unlocking the bootloader again, the device went into recovery mode, showed the recovery starting logo, and went black.
After turning it back on, it got stuck in the starting screen again - will have to wait for it to run out of battery.
Edit 3: Flashed the recovery, but i can't seem to find a stock rom (only one i did find is this here - and the files are down...)

Solved it!
Just did a factory reset in bootloader menu.
(I hope i didn't forget anything, since I don't know s*** about android development)

Help! Nexus 6 random reboots and stuck on Google Logo

Hi guys,
I bought my Nexus 6 (64gb version) in December 15 from Amazon, the phone was perfect up until last month when it started randomly rebooting and most of the times it's stuck on the Google logo. At first it happened once or twice a day, now it happens every couple of minutes.
The phone was stock, I tried a number of things but nothing helped:
*Wiped cache partition
*Wiped data and factory reset
*Tried creating a new google account with no previously installed apps and no restore app data
*Unrooted the device and flashed Dirty Unicorn
*Flashed stock firmware again from Google
Is there something else to be done which I missed. The phone is as good as a brick now, reboots a dozen times a day...during calls, texting, playing games or even when just browsing through it.
I contacted Google and they said they'll transfer me to Moto who in turn offered a replacement device. Problem is I live in Bahrain and the warranty is for US only. I got the phone for 260 bucks.. and shipping it to the US and back won't cost me less than 50, and how can I be sure that the replacement will not have the same problems after a while.
So in short.. Help!

Does the reboot happen on the factory img? I would suggest returning the device to 100% and see if the reboots continue. best way to do this is back up internal storage. then follow the steps:
1. download latest factory img from google
2. use 7zip to break down the zip all the way to the folder structure.
3. open up a CMD on your pc.
4. make sure ADB and fastboot are working before moving on.
4a. type "adb devices" (should show S/N of the device and connection status)
4aa. adb reboot bootloader
4b. in booloader mode type "fastboot devices" (should show S/N of the device and connection status)
5. fastboot flash bootloader "name of bootloader.img" ( you can drag and drop the img after you type the first part if paths are not set up on the device.)
6. fastboot reboot-bootloader ( you must do this when installing new radio and bootloader)
7. fastboot flash radio "name of radio.img" ( you can drag and drop the img after you type the first part if paths are not set up on the device.)
8. fastboot reboot-bootloader ( you must do this when installing new radio and bootloader)
once that is done unzip the image-shamu-**** you will now see each partition img. Just flash one at a time.
recovery
boot
system
userdata
now if you dont want to have encryption enabled on boot you will need to find a boot img on here that has been edited to remove that option.
If the devices is still rebooting then its going to be a hardware issue and it will need to be sent back. Hope this helps.

Hi wolf,
I already flashed the factory img from google but I did it via the Nexus Root Toolkit, not how you mentioned.
Same problem, nothing changed.
I cannot understand if this was a hardware issue, it should've happened from day 1.. why did it take few months to happen. I was suspecting the power button but it works just fine. My buddy got one just a week after me and his is functioning just fine.
I read so many other posts about people facing the same problem.
My frustration is just killing me.
*edit* I just rebooted the device in Safe Mode and it started vibrating and wouldn't stop. Had to power off.
