My phone is stuck in the bootloader screen with the following "TAMPERED" "RELOCK". I have no OS or No recovery.. I realize at this point i have to use fastboot and not SDK/ADB to push anything to my device... Doing it that way tells me my device is not found. I use fastboot commands and receive "cannot load flash" or "error: cannot load recovery.img" or
C:\fastboot>fastboot boot TWRPG.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)..
Most likely i'm probably using the wrong commands... I'm about to just take it back... Can anyone tell me if the phone is still saveable or not at this stage in it's life or is there something I'm really doing wrong here? (3 days)

You can't select recovery? Did you flash a custom ?

your bootloader says relocked?? If so you need to unlock it again to flash anything to the device.

You have to unlock the bootloader again. That will allow you to flash boot.img or recovery.img
Man, all that time with you today and you were locked! I thought you said you were unlocked. Doh!
Yeah, like the guys above me said, you need to unlock your bootloader again before you can flash anything.
Oh wow.. really.. Is it even possible to unlock bootloader at this stage? I'm unable to achieve anything else thus so far...

So would i basically just put the unlock_code.bin in the fastboot folder, and use this command-"fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"?

Yes, if that is the right command, and the correct unlock code.
Then you would need to flash a custom recovery and then your Rom.

Yep, just go out and request a new token on htcdev and go through the unlocking process as usual.

WTF... That ish worked like a charm... LOL... I got trwp recovery now too...
I did a ADB sideload custom ROM, worked like a charm.. Now, my only problem, i think, is It still says "TAMPERED" but "unlocked", plus I'm S-On.. Now in order to get rid of the "TAMPERED", do I'd have to go back to my stock ROM, which i don't see any, but i do have a Nandroid backup of my stock ROM, and will that work if i need to go back to stock to remove TAMPERED? Or i can use Revone to just S-Off, then possibly use it again to get rid of "TAMPERED"?
Sweet. Glad your back up.
Yes, in order to get rid of the tampered flag plus many other reasons including making it much easier to return to stock if needed, you should use revone to S-off and keep s-off unless you need to return the device.

I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my HTC One. I've gotten to Step 12 on the HTC Dev's Unlocking Bootloader Instructions and recieve the below error when trying to flash Unlock_code.bin.
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)
Has anyone experienced this? I can't seem to find any answers relevant to the HTC One. I read somewhere that you can run the RUU and then try to flash the Unlock code. What version of the RUU would I use? My HBOOT is v1.55 if that makes any difference.
Thanks for the help,

I got "RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5_Radio_1.06.00.1216_NV_NV_spcs_1.42_release_233304_signed"
Would there be any issues using the RUU to go to this image version, unlocking my bootloader, and then upgrading back to 3.04 (the image my phone is currently on)?
Often people manage to copy paste the number with an extra space or carriage return. That breaks it in this fashion.
Using the same unlock code I was able to get it to work in a different folder. Blew my mind.

Try like this. First check fastboot is working with
Code:
fastboot devices
You should get an output displaying your devices serial no.
Now type the first part of the command leaving a space on the end
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken
Then drag and drop the Unlock_code.bin in to the command window to automatically complete the command with the full file path. And hit enter

FYI
Changing your CID requires S-OFF, chances is that if the OP would have S-OFF, he would already have an unlocked bootloader...
SuperCID and bootloader unlock aren't related at all.

Hi Guys
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I have an Australian unbranded HTC one (for which no known RUU seem to be floating around). I'm S-on with Hboot 1.54. And was hoping to use the Rumrunner exploit to S-off
I've previously had the bootloader unlocked and relocked it again. However since I've taken an OTA I've been unable to unlock the bootloader again using the method on HTC dev.
The unlock_code.bin is pushed (although says 0kB) and it is checked successfully. However then nothing happens. No screen to ask if you want to unlock the bootloader.
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
Cheers
What's the command you're typing in to unlock it? It should be:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

Yep thats the command I've used. As I said that command pushes the unlock_code.bin. The check is successful.
Its just that nothing happens after that. No do you want to continue unlocking the bootloader screen. The phone sits there in fastboot doing nothing....
You have to type it exactly as I posted it as it's case sensitive. Copy and paste the command and try again (make sure you've not changed the name of the token either)

Yep I have copied and pasted. I have not renamed the .bin. I have also tried using Hasoon2000's all in one tool kit as well. As I said the unlock_bin is pushed. It passes the check but nothing happens after that.

that really doesn't make any sense why it's not working.
I'm pretty sure you are, but are you sure you're copy/pasting the entire identifier code including the top and bottom line (the ones that start and end with <<<<< and >>>>>)
Also check SETTINGS->POWER->Fast boot should be disabled
and SETTINGS->DEVELOPER OPTIONS->USB Debugging should be enabled.
I would try (yet again) factory reset, get identifier, submit to HTCdev for Unlock code, and finally try it.
If that doesn't work, I really don't know what could be causing it.
EDIT: just out of curiosity, have you tried "fastboot oem unlock"

One last thing I thought about, if the above doesn't work is try locking it again; maybe it's stuck somewhere half way in between. maybe locking it again "fastboot oem lock" and then trying again could release whatever is hanging.
Good luck

Gave those both a try.
I got a command error when running fastboot oem unlock, and I got a message saying device is already locked when running fastboot oem lock.
Any other ideas, its a bit of a mystery to me
Trying to restore my phone which using the RUU toolkit, and it keeps cancleing becaue it can't find my device. I can get to bootloader and TWRP but none of the ROMS are stable enough to stay on. Any ideas?
When I plug my old phone in, it finds the device so I'm sure the right drivers are there...

Anyway, I finally got it to find the device, but it said it wasn't the proper ROM and had to abort...how do I get the right RUU tool?
That is dependant on your fastboot output. You need the RUU to match or exceed your main version and have to have the same CID.

There is already good guides for all the issues you encounter, so chances we will refer someone to this thread are slim.
What RUU are you trying to flash, can you post a link? Also an updated ''fastboot getvar all'' of your phone would help.
What OS are you using now? Still on your MAC? If on Windows which version are you using? XP, 7, 8.0, 8.1 ?

Now that you have s-off you can use a decrypted ruu and you can also use ruu of lower version. Good news.

The command is not ''Fastboot oem rebootruu''

NO! You must be in ruu mode to flash a ruu.zip

With s-off you can flash a ruu either with a locked/re-locked or unlocked bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name_of_file>.zip
fastboot flash zip <name_of_file>.zip
fastboot reboot

And tried with a different file
Gave the second command, and it started to write a whole bunch of files. 10 minutes later it said finished, and I rebooted. It boot looped a few times and was giving me the same crash at the homescreen. I was about the throw it across the room when it said "Activate device failed, click here to do it manually"
Followed the steps and the first text message came in, so now I'm installing Slimkat. It's given me a few errors now that it wasn't giving before, but I'll work through it and update.

I did sms backup/restore from my old phone, and moved the backup file to my new phone and did a restore. 30,000+ messages. The restore took about 10 minutes, but now when I open message it's very very very behind, and keeps crashing. Should I just let it run it's course?
Hi All,
I tried to delete my personal data from the HTC One as I was planning on selling it tomorrow. I went into TWRP and wiped everything...which meant I wiped the OS too
I've tried everything, but I cannot find a way to reinstall a ROM.
First, I'm on a Windows 7 laptop. Soon, I'll have to switch to a Mac computer at work.
ADB doesn't work at all because I can't get the driver installed so the phone isn't recognized in ADB. I've installed the drivers from Hasoon2000's AIO kit, as well as install HTC Sync Manager. Neither one helps...so for now ADB is out.
Windows RUU.exe installation files don't work either. I've downloaded all versions from HTCDevs.com, and get an ERROR 155 each time.
Fastboot itself works, but I can't flash a ROM. If I try, I get "remote:not allowed". I'm in RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU) for the RUU.zip files. I've also tried flashing a CWM ROM, but I get the same error.
I just want to sell this phone and get on with my life, but I can't find a way to get it working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ive read that error 155 is caused mainly because the boot loader is unlocked. YOU HAVE TO LOCK THE BOOTLOADER FOR RUU. Lock the boot loader and retry
Are you S-OFF ??

Thanks for the reply! I forgot to write it but I did relock the boot loader when trying the RUU.
Also, I have the Developer Edition, which is unlocked but S-On I believe.

1- Even though the Dev Edition is unlocked, when you want to run an RUU, you have to relock it (when S-On), otherwise you'll get error 155
2- post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI, and s/n)
3- when you say rom.zip in RUU mode, are you using a decrypted zip, or the original signed (encrypted) zip? (because with s-on, only the signed one will work)

Yeah, last time that was the solution (re-locking). This time, even after relocking, I still get the Error 155 (and it does show "RELOCKED" in the boot loader)
Getvar screenshot is attached.
The rom.zip was from HTCDev.com, so I'm guessing it is an original signed zip. It was just renamed to be more user friendly.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this helps, but I was able to get ADB working on my Mac at work. I tried sideloading the official ROM and also a CWM ROM. It copies over fine, but then there are errors when trying to install. It says it can't mount various things. I've attached a pic of that as well.

I can never find anything on HTCdev
Anyway, the .zip you got is probably a kernel source code, not an RUU, I don't think HTC release ruu.zips (as far as i know).
How are you running the EXE, cause looks like your on a Mac, (so you may be using a vm, and maybe that's the problem)?
Long story short, here's what I would do, remember you need an RUU.EXE version 4.19.1540.4 or higher, then run the RUU, once it opens up, it will have created a folder in %Temp% (eg on Win7, that would be usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp) there you will find a newly created folder (use sort by date modified to find it) within that folder you will find rom.zip (a 1GB+ file) which is the signed ruu.zip.
copy that to your fastboot folder, then you can exit the RUU.EXE which will delete the temporary folder i mentioned above
then on your mac:
./fastboot oem rebootRUU
./fastboot flash zip rom.zip
./fastboot flash zip rom.zip <- yes twice
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you want to see what kind of output to expect, to my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 and check post #7, it has a real life example of the above commands.

Thank you so much for the walkthrough! It could be that I have the kernel source code...I've attached a screenshot of what I downloaded (link is circled). One thing though - where do I get the RUU.exe that's 4.19.1540.4 or higher? The highest I see is 3.22.1540.1 on HTC Dev for the Developer Edition. There is a 100MB file that's 4.20.1136.8 (see screenshot) for the WWE region, just says "HTC One" without more detail. Should I use that, even though it's only 100MB?
I was running the RUU on a Windows laptop at home, but then switched to my Mac at work. I can boot into Windows 8.1 on the Mac as well, so I can do the RUU extraction portion there (assuming Win 8.1 isn't an issue).
I'll report back once I've tried these steps.
EDIT: I've found this RUU - will it work?

the first picture could very well be a ruu.zip due to the filesize, all the (at least HTC Sense editions) will be 1GB+ the other ones that are around 100MB are just kernel source codes,
but you can't use the 3.22 version cause that's a downgrade and only possible with S-Off.
just found one at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7 version 4.19.1540.9
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...8_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353887_signed_3.exe
this should work fine on even on Win 8.1 (without the need to extract it)
this will only work with a locked/relocked bootloader if you're sticking with S-On.

Thanks! I edited my previous post with a link to one that I found. Is it the same one? It has the exact same file name as what you just posted. I'm 50% done downloading it, and would rather not start again lol.

HTCGuru site is good too.
Good luck
It worked! I verified that fastboot was working and that the drivers were installed, relocked the bootloader, then ran the RUU.exe - and it finished without issue. I then unlocked the bootloader, and it doesn't say Tampered anymore
I can't thank you enough for the help. I wouldn't have guessed that you can't downgrade without being on S-OFF.

you're most welcome, feel free to hit the thanks buttons if you found a useful post
and no you can't downgrade (with S-On), but you can upgrade :good:
have a good one
