big problems with Jtag-repaired One - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I hope anyone can help me. I' sitting here for many many hours and try to get my phone work.
First of all I flashed the "Firmware 5.11.401.10 | No Red Text" which causes bricked phones for some, so as me.
I send the phone to a repair center ( not HTC ) for a jtag repair, and got I back yesterday.
Firmware was repaired, but:
IMEI now: 12345678xxxxx0 ( was 12345678xxxxx6.)
product: m7_wlv ( was m7_ul )
serialno: total different
MID PN0731000 ( was PN071000 )
CID still super-CID.
Cyangenmod is installed after the repair.
Unlocked as before.
S-Off was lost.
here is my getvar:
fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.54.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4T.27.3218.14
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 1.00.000.00
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) serialno: xxxxxxxxxxx
(bootloader) imei: 123456....0
(bootloader) meid: 99000428016233
(bootloader) product: m7_wlv
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0731000
(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4322mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic

(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-57eb7f637d
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
make a long story short:
after hours I got TWRP working, flashing often, got status OK, but doesn't work. Now TWRP 2.6.3.4 is working.
Tried to flash ARHD, starts and reboot....
Tried to flash ARHD TWRP-Backup, starts and reboot....
Tried to flash other nandroid backups starts and reboot....
and tried a lot of other things... nothing worked
only the cyangenmod starts and works
S-Off doesnt work ( rumrunners, firewater, renove )
I am at the end of my knowledge..
Has somebody any ideas ?
I think there was a great mistake at the jtag-repair.
I think due to the changes of Model-ID, Serialno, wrong IMEI now I have this trouble and will have problems in the future too.
Can you give me some advice ?
Many thanks in advance.
Andreas
PS: sorry for my poor english, but I think you understand what I want to say.

Sounds like you got a new motherboard

M7_UL to M7_WLV? - isn't that a Verizon one and CDMA instead of GSM?
IMO, the model ID is causing your issues.

Thanks a lot for your answers.

that could not be, that would be the cheapest motherboard I ever bought.
The charge of the repair was 25 euro.

Yes, its Verizon, I assume this causes the problems. I think this will cause problems in the future also, if i decide to go back to stock.
Has anybody additional advices ?
--edit--
the last hours I tested other rom than ARHD, Insert Coin and other...
All stuck at boot. I erased the caches everytime.
nothing is working.

They should have left S-OFF!! You need to get S-Off, otherwise you won't be able to change MID, and fix any other problems.
you have hboot 1.54 so rumrunner and/or firewater should work, but radio is consistent with firmware 5.11.401.10 (hboot 1.57) so it's hard to tell which firmware you actually have.
you said cyangenmod works, so try getting S-Off using that and try both rumrunner and firewater

Hello nkk71,
thanks a lot for your answer.
you are right, I've to get S-Off to fix the problems. But to get S-Off that's the main problem.
Yesterday afternoon and evening I tried again to get S-Off in many ways ( rumrunners, firewater, renove, moonshine.. ). mostly the result is: unknown error or wrong ROM.
firewater doesn't work also. It starts with permissions problem, so I set the permissions manually to solve the permission issues. At last firewater said: error, run firewater as root. I search the firewater thread, but don't find a solution at the firewater thread. so I've to post this question at the firewater thread.
All Roms, TWRP-Backups ( own and others ) aren't starting, after 10-15 sec. -> reboot.
All other trials with OTA und RUU failed too.
Meanwhile I got an answer from the repair service: ( my comments in blue color ):
>>first of all the last number of the IMEI is not set manually, but generated from the IMEI itself and programmed via JTAG without surgery itself!
>>This is a checksum which results from the IMEI, and even changes to 0! There you have no control over JTAG or otherwise.
I know this. The IMEI-checksum is wrong, was 6, now is 0. so his checksum algorithm works wrong. I additionally verified this with IMEI-Check-"programs"
>>The hanging ROMS should not be the problem, therefore simply flash the Boot.img manually.
I don't know how often I flashed the boot.img manually during the last 2 days
>>the product name is not changed via JTAG, it is taken over by JTAG automatically. When the product name should be changed manually the box shows a message that it is the wrong name, and then the circuit board can not be programmed. Thus, it is checked whether it is the right hardware.
The hardware is M7_UL 801n, why should JTAG switch it to M7_wlv ( verizon ) ?
>>And the serial number is in JTAG guaranteed not changed, there isnt any possibility to do at all, unless the data is automatically written from JTAG automatically.
I have now another serial number
Please look for the ROM again with Boot.img.
Perhaps there are any other ideas ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Today I take a break and will repair my car, but I will look into the forum every hour.

Hello SaHiLzZ,
thanks a lot.
You're right, I think too, there is no other way as to send back to the repair guys.
But I wonder about if they can manage to restore the firmware.
Wrong IMEI-checksum, changed serial-no, wrong MID, wrong product name, version-main: 1.00.000.00, wrong ROM ( CM instead HTC )....
More error are not possible.
Can anybody recommend a reliable Jtag-service here in germany ?
the germany repair center of HTC ( Arvato ) seems to be very expensive.

now, I know where the error is:
he posted the jtag log of my HTC One M7_UL PN0710000 at his website.
JTAG Log:
Open serial port...OK
Connecting to the RIFF Box...OK
Firmware Version: 1.37, JTAG Manager Version: 1.56
Selected Resurrector: [HTC OneM7 (PN0713000) V1.0.5149.50216]

Not sure what log you are referring to, but PN0713000 (t-mo usa) would have been better than PN0731000.... sounds like a sloppy "repair" to me

He posted the results of his repairs at his website, and so he did with the Riff Box Jtag status, copied out of the programm jtag manager.
So I have now a documention of the wrong flashing.:good:

but you posted a log for a different MID than you're getvar is showing
PN0713000
vs
PN0731000
13 vs 31
Anyway, good luck!

you are right, the MID in getvar is really PN0731000. No typing error, just copy and paste of getvar.
so, let's wait until tomorrow.

In JTAG the operator has to manually select the device. That's bull crap they are feeding you. Someone at the shop screwed up badly. They need to use the right file, and tell them to keep it Soff.

Hey, thats all right man!!
Nothing frustating
Afterall everyone is a noob at the beginning!!
OK
I gave you the procedure for going to european stock, because currntly european models are getting OTA.
Any ways if you dont want to hurry,(for OTA) which is a good thing(even i am waiting patiently for OTA)
Then do this,
Get superCID(11111111) its the same for all!!
Now run DEV Edition RUU(your regional stock. I mean the one you had initially)
Now when RUU is successfull, get your original CID(it would be something like BM__US1 i guess)
Now you are completely stock
Ask for help without hesitation if you need any!!
Best luck

"the device has modified system" = MID mismatch
You need to get that MID which the RUU is meant for

[Q] Boots into OS then reboots with com.htc.htc dialer isnt responding

Would it be possible to give me some advice on whats wrong with my HTC ONE. Every time I install a ROM after a few minutes I get "com.htc.htc dialer isnt responding", a few minutes later the device reboots itself. Ive tried locking and unlocking the bootloader, running RUUs (Which when I do i just get the taskbar at the top of the screen nothing else), flashing the latest firmware, and different Kernels, I have completely run out of ideas. any ideas how I can get it working? Ive been trying to fix it since Friday (Up till 4am and all day yesterday, searched for answers all over the place and I just cant fins a solution)
I bought it off ebay and the guy before tried to root it, I thought I could fix it (teaches me for trying to save some money), when I got it it had been rooted and had HBoot 1.55 and ive downgraded it to 1.44, locked and unlocked the bootloader. Kernel is ElementalX-m7-13.5.1 and Radio is Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L and im trying to install the Elegancia_ONE_1.0.0_2 ROM

In any booted ROM, if you go to "Settings -> About -> Software information -> More" does baseband show up correctly?
and "Settings -> About -> Phone identity" shows correct IMEI, IMSI?

there were two or three similar cases on the Q&A a few weeks ago (dont have the links handy), but nothing worked, tried very hard (even manually flashing the modem partitions), but it was all a no go. the hardware needed to be fixed

I am having same issue, happened right after using my phone on a roadtrip for hours, think I overheated it.
It wasn't rooted before, but I figured I would try and fix it myself.
Tried a bunch of different ROMs, and reflashed the firmware, never works okay for more than couple days.
Should have left it stock, and warrantied it out.

try a full ruu.zip or ruu.exe, it has revived some phones, but if the same error creeps up again, then i guess it's a hardware problem.

[Q] Rumrunner and firewater both failed and I need to return to stock.Any options?

Sigh
I've got the much loved purple camera issue and I want to get it sorted under warranty. To do this, I need to not have it say "UNLOCKED" and "TAMPERED" when the salespeople check the phone; to do that, I apparently need to have the phone s-off.
With firewater I get the "whelp, that sucks.." message and with rumrunner it just tells me to download the latest version - which, obviously, I have. Do I have any option other than starting a consumer affairs fight with the retailer over the hardware warranty vs. software? GETVAR detais and so on below - maybe I missed something you guys will spot:
EDIT: I have the latest OTA ready to go, the one with sense 6 - will that help or hinder things?
TIA!

Hello! Thankyou for the pointer; that would almost do the job. Unfortunately, the salesdroids follow a list of steps to check the phone; it very clearly tells them to make sure the words "unlocked", "relocked" or "tampered" don't appear. Every guide I've seen so far requires me to have s-off to make this happen, however, firewater and rumrunner both fail so far.
I guess I have two questions, and only need an answer to one: can I get unlocked and tampered removed without s-off? Or is there another way to get s-off I haven't found yet that would work with my m7?
Cheers!

If you are getting the whelp message with firewater, then you wont get s-off no matter what you try, I think I tried every kernel and rom combination on this planet.
Answer to the first question, NO, you MUST have s-off to do that
Answer to the second question, you can find someone local to you like I did and have them s-off it by java card as I did, like a little local back street phone shop.

[Q] Not getting any signal

Hi, I have been reading this forum for 2 days straight trying everything and most of the things helped but now I am stuck.
My problem: I am trying to use the phone on Bell network. No signal, GSM status : Emergency Call Only. When I select Bell from network list it tells me that the SIM does not support the Network. If I put the same SIM in another phone it works and gets network.

What I did:
1) Tried the tape method in case SIM card was not making proper contact with phone pins. (Than I realized that was nonesense since the phone was detecting my contacts...)
2) Flashed new firmware (6.06.401.1 came with radios nothing changed)
3) Installed the Bell Mobility Nandroid Backup (still nothing except I can now install the Bell applications from my SIM card)
I am looking for suggestions, ideas and possibly solutions. Any help is welcome!

have you tried another sim in the HTC connected to a GSM network, I have a suspicious feeling you have a GSM phone there and Bell requires a CDMA phone, completely different partition layout.

also, another thing ive noticed, is the firmware you flashed is a 401 firmware, thats WWE Europe, not 100% sure if that maybe at fault
I believe someone recently had success flashing developer edition firmware and RUU on their device and they were on Bell.
I'll see if I can find the thread, EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/dpes-developers-edition-canada-t2851008
Its got to worth a try, and easy to do as your s-off.

be sure to check the MD5 and file size of the RUU before flashing, and if the download is a little slow, you can try this link instead, same RUU:

no, WWE means world wide English.

there isn't one.
plug your phone into the computer and make sure it says fastboot USB on the screen, then double click the RUU.exe file and it will launch, follow the on screen instructions, flashing takes quite a while, about 10 mins I think mine took, and at points it will look like its stuck, not very reassuring I know, it got stuck at 5% for me and then suddenly jumped to 95%, then seemed to sit there forever until it finally completed.
EDIT: is your Bell sim still in the phone ?

good, because during set-up it should detect your sim and ask you to select your operator, im hoping Bell is in the list.

damn, I had that problem once, its not the RUU at fault, its your computer, this is how I fixed it, its a bit long winded and you have to restart your computer after each installation, you need to install all of them one at a time, or you can try another computer if you have one available.

Used phone from Africa, EFS partition likely formatted, no backup, what can i do?

*I will try to provide as much information as I can, so this will probably be a long post. Sorry!*
Hi,
I've bought a used HTC One M7 from Ghana because I needed a replacement phone while I was working there. I noticed it didn't have a factory ROM on it, but I figured I would change that anyway. So I bought it.
First problem with it was a well documented issue with HTCs and their conflict with Google Play Services which resulted in the malfunctioning of voice calling. Since it wasn't a stock ROM, i was unable to get the OTA updates that eventually fixed this bug.
So I decided to flash a custom ROM on it.
The phone had SuperCID and was S-off. It turns out it was a US Sprint version, although its back cover had an ATT logo. Who knows what was done to this phone. Anyway, since I am far from being an expert at flashing custom ROMs and custom recoveries, I asked a friend to help.
He managed to install TWRP and a Cyanogen 12 nightly ROM (12-20151108-NIGHTLY-m7spr) but in the process something must have happened because now, even though the phone works fine and boots fine, it doesn't recognise my sim card and there is no network signal.
When I realised that the baseband, IMEI, MEID, ICCID and a few others said "unknown" instead of their values, i dug through this forum and concluded that the EFS partition must have been erased or damaged in the process. (is there a way to confirm that?) There was no backup, obviously.
I have read bits and pieces of information about this problem, but nothing that seemed helpful in my particular case.
I can't flash any other ROM on it because it says the MD-5 file is missing or something like this.
So I am stuck with an almost working phone, and no solution to my problem. I even called HTC service and they said they will not fix a phone sold in the US, since I live in Romania.
So this is basically my only hope of getting this phone to work again. If even possible. So, please, in layman terms, what can I do?
Thank you!

First of all, sprint phones are CDMA phone. Once the sim is unlocked, it will work on GSM but you'll not get full connectivity i.e probably no LTE.
Is the IMEI MEID and Baseband correctly displayed when using "fastboot getvar all"? Also post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (don't shate your imei and meid). Sometimes, flashing a RUU can fix this problem, in some other cases its caused by an hardware defect.
And btw, HTC phone does not have an EFS partition.

Thank you for your reply. I will get the information you mentioned and I will reply again as soon as I have it. If the HTCs don't have that partition, then this gives me a bit of hope, since I am sure that the baseband, IMEI and all the others were there before I flashed the CyanogenMod. So it might not be a hardware issue.
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. Overworking and having to do everything on a Mac makes these things a bit harder. Basically I have to read tutorials for every step I do. So..
I finally was able to get the fastboot command a try. You were right. The IMEI and MEID are there, but the baseband is not. What does that mean? Flashing a RUU will fix this? Can you point me to the right RUU to flash so I don't brick this troublesome phone?

Just wanted to let everyone know that it worked. I was able to flash a Sprint RUU (not the one from their website, because the exe utility crashed at some point. don't ask me why) I flashed a zip RUU using fastboot. Just like that. In two minutes I had my phone back.
So, again, thank you very much for your help.
