[Q] Can't unlock bootloader after relock

So I've converted my HTC One M7 from Sense to GPE and wanted to revert my changes. I flashed a Stock Nandroid backup (which worked fine), relocked my bootloader and made it from S-OFF to S-ON (why did I do this?).
I can receive the 4.3 OTA update directly with my phone, but after the download finishes, it says it finds that I've made some changes to my phone and it won't install the update.
My guess is that my kernel or my HBOOT aren't as stock as they should be.
I'm on 4.2.2
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
Firmware 2.24.401.8
Screenshot of my Firmware and so on:
s1.directupload.net/images/131108/yl3xutnf.png
s1.directupload.net/images/131108/a7mshuvo.png
Since I've updated to 4.2.2 I should have HBOOT 1.54, or not? After doing S-ON I can't upgrade my bootloader or flash anything anymore.
Even HTC Dev Unlock fails after getting a new unlock token. (It says success, but my phone won't do anything)
Any ideas?

If it's truly 1.44 (check in bootloader screen and make sure the date is before June 2013), then use revone to unlock.
EDIT: it may or may not work since you're already on 2.24, but give it a try anyway

I restarted in bootloader and checked it, it's 1.44 no doubt. I tried revone already many times but get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)".
Edit: I also checked the date. It's May 3rd 2013.

hboot is good, but the ROM is not really good for revone, best to have a 4.1.2 ROM. unless you can get your bootloader unlocked again, you might be stuck.
What's your current setup? post a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n) and details of your ROM (you said you flashed a nandroid, which one)

If it's really because of 4.2.2, can I just install a 4.1.2 RUU over it with locked bootloader and S-ON?
I hope my getvar helps finding a solution.

RUU will work with a locked bootloader, but not with S-On (-> S-On won't allow you to downgrade which is only possible with S-Off)
And you firmware is 2.14.401.2 (posted in the getvar)? Haven't seen that one around. Let me think for a while
But in the meantime, can you try something in adb; after you push revone to the phone and open the adb shell, and change permission, your adb shell command prompt is supposed to start with "$", once you revone -P (gaining root access), does adb come back with "#" instead of "$"
can you do it and copy/paste the whole command prompt here.

crap
somehow we need to get you into superuser mode, you wouldn't happen to have superuser installed, or be on custom recovery?
Options:
1- Have you tried typing "su" in the adb shell, we need to get the prompt to say # instead of $
2- exit the adb shell, and "adb reboot recovery" and see if adb shell gives you a # instead of $

I don't have su anymore and I just tried it to be sure. I can get into recovery when pressing Volume UP + Power when the Symbol appears after typing "adb reboot recovery". It's Android System recovery 3e.
If I try "apply from ..." it says "invalid operation" and immediately reboots...
Btw: I just noticed that the firmware version from getvar is different from my software version in the settings. (2.14.401.2 in getvar and 2.24.401.2 in software information in settings). I guess that's what he doesn't like about my build when trying to do the OTA...

Hey @Flibber, I've been looking around and
1- can't find anything on firmware 2.14.401.2 where did you get that from
2- your software version is 2.24.401.2, that's usually for M7_U models not M7_UL, also strange
How did you get your phone in that state??

First, I changed my MID and CID for going to GPE. To go back I used a nandroid backup of a DE O2 phone (since my phone is also a german O2 branded one). The problem is, i changed the CID to HTC__102 but forgot to change the MID back... No wonder that it won't accept any updates or OTA zips, since they don't match!
I have no idea since unlocking my bootloader, changing my MID/CID or going S-OFF won't work at all...
Edit: Is there any way to change a OTA firmware zip (to change the android-info.txt MID/CID) without losing the signature? Because when I try to flash a firmware zip from an OTA, it passes the signature verification, but fails after checking MID/CID (of course).
Edit2: I just looked into why I can't use revone and most users say that software and firmware version have to match. So the "only" thing I have to do is update my 2.14.401.2 firmware to 2.24.401.2. Again, an original firmware is needed where my CID/MID match the android-info.txt...

I'd really like to bump this. Is there really no way to rezip and sign firmware packages? Or any other solution available?

Sorry for bumping this again, but I'm really stuck with my lovely HTC One
No way to reset CID/MID? Maybe via support? Or something like a hard reset?

Htc ONE Brick need help please

Fastboot works perfectly. Adb says no devices found. I have no OS no recovery files no nothing on my phone. Well just clockwork is there but no use when adb doest work.

sounds like your trying to flash a RUU.zip from recovery .. it won't work
Instructions for Flashing RUU Zip Files:
Download the RUU.zip file and place in your ADB/fastboot folder. I would recommend renaming the zip file to something simple like ruu.zip.
Boot your phone into the bootloader by holding the power and vol up/down buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader screen or if you have your phone booted you can use the ADB command:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now use these fastboot commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Should see the Silver HTC logo. Now issue this command to flash your phone using the ruu.zip file:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:
fastboot reboot
**Notes about the RUU.zip method. You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first. If you are running the RUU.zip as base to downgrade all your firmware because you are going to then going to restore a stock Nandroid so the RUU might not be made for your MID, so you may need to edit the android-info.txt inside the ruu.zip to include your MID or CID.

Yep but the problem is sideload doesnt work. And adb push rom.zip doesn't work as well. The rom as if gets there but cannot flash it,error coms up trying install rom.zip /sdcard/, also it says internal storage 0mb

The command is adb push rom.zip /0/data/media
That's the way to send a zip file to the root of the internal storage. Is this what you 're doing?

from the size of the ROM, it looks like a GPE rom, you need S-Off for 4.4 GPE
why not just try an older 4.3 ROM and make sure your phone at least works.

So id better use 2.3RomRUU with S-ON, relocked, by entering fastboot oem recoveryRUU?
Gonna try it, and give response to this operation. By the way is it possible I couldn't use RUU earlier just because I was using incorrect CID romRUU?

Remove your IMEI and SERIALNO from your getvar all.
I can't find any files useful to reset your phone back to stock 6.12.161.8 version. You should flash a custom recovery + a custom rom.

Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:

(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

Might be because your driver isn't installed (should not be the case if you have followed the guide)
or maybe because you haven't enabled USB debugging
Hoewever, just do it manually by holding power and volume down until your phone reboot in bootloader then select "recovery"

You are not following the guide! Make sure you have all prerequisites before starting and then proceed step by step.

yes my bootloader is relocked

So I helped him ( @XFX-Gaming ) via team viewer. Bootloader is S-ON and Re-Locked. We got a fresh Unlock_code.bin from HTCDev.com. The unlock code flash fine and the bootloader unlock screen shows up. When selecting "yes" to unlock, phone attemps to boot in recovery and hangs at the "entering recovery" white screen. When force reboot to the bootloader, still re-locked.
Any idea @nkk71 @clsA @Danny201281 ?
I think we should reflash the firmware in RUU mode but can't find any useful files for his version (6.12.161.8)
So we need the 6.12.161.8 firmware or the 6.12.161.8 ota zip file

Yeah your dead right. Fixed this same issue in the Unbrick Thread just the other day.
Flashing the firmware and getting a new Unlock_code.bin fixed it.

Ok that makes some sense, you probably have a minor firmware incompatiblity that's causing this problem.
Download this firmware zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Rename it "firmware.zip"
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/6.09.401.11.zip
Reboot the phone into the bootloader and connect fastbootusb.
In the fastboot command line type.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
**---case sensitive ---^^^
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When that's done go to htcdev.com and go through the entire unlock my bootloader to get a new Unlock_code.bin then use it to Unlock your bootloader. :good:
The firmware will also restore your Stock Recovery, so after the unlock you will need to flash a new custom recovery.

Nice collection, everything about x.xx.161.x can be found there... except the 6.12.161.8 firmware or ota we need
Btw the OP also have a thread about his issue on that forum here
and it looks like even them don't have the 6.12.161.8 firmware
will ask in the update thread just in case someone have it.

Mike1986 has 6.12.161.5 in his repository but thats the closest i can find

@alray, i'm capturing 6.12.161.9 OTA (didnt get the .8 one, got straight to .9).... i'll post firmware once i have it

 @XFX-Gaming New hope :good:

Need help with my m7 (my phone is acting weird)

I flashed ARHD 93 on my M7. Everything was successful. Until I noticed my Virtual SD disappeared. It was their since 20gb was still being occupied, but was showing empty on my computer and the file explorer on my M7 . However I couldn't access it. I was not able to take any pictures, save pictures, or download music. I would get error message saying "unable to save file to sd due to insufficient file permission"
Since than I wiped my SD/internal memory and wiped everything else and than Adb sideload ARHD 93. This made it worse.
Now not only the previous problem still exist. Now I have a black background, My notification bar disappeared. My home button no longer functions. My virtual SD is gone. I can't transfer files over. My Computer gives me an error when I try. I have dont have a lock screen. I keep getting this pop up saying "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." and my phone is extremely slow. Please help.
I even regret upgrading my rom now. Cause this all started from upgrading from ARHD 92 to 93.
PLEASE HELP, someone!

What is your version-main number? Post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (hide your imei and serialno)
the sdcard access issue can normally be solved with the restorecon command:
Code:
adb shell
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
exit
adb reboot

Maybe try to change file system of data in recovery and return to stock file system. In TWRP : WIPE-Advanced Wipe- check Data- Repair or Change File System- Change File System- for example to EXT2 - at the finish change to EXT4.

Fix your fastboot problem, you will need fastboot connectivity eventually. These info doesn't really help, the only thing I can tell you, based on your hboot version, is that you are running an old firmware on your phone and that could be an issue with arhd 93. Did the restorecon commands worked or not?

I got it to work. After the flash. I unlocked my bootloader, flashed a recovery, and than ARHD 93 Rom. It normal now. I used the official OTA firmware, not the custom one that requires S-off. I also gave you something for your troubles.
What is the lastest firmware out BTW? I had a hard time to find it.
Thanks a lot man. Really appreciate all the help.

New to forum - Help Required

I got a HTC phone from a friend and I do not know how to find out the model. Also it does not have an OS on it and I am looking to find out how to install one. I read a few of the threads and could not figure out what the terms meant. Such as OTG, RUU,ADB, TWRP, ETC. So I am not able to follow. Please assist me if you can.

You say it doesn't have an OS on it, so it's basically a blank device that you need to install an OS on.
Th easiest way for us to identify it would be for you to take a photo of it and post it here for us to look at. Once we know what model of HTC you have, we can easily help you get Android back on there.
Or if you can find it on the HTC website, that would help. Or even Google somewhere.

I found that it is an HTC One M7.

Ah in that case, take a look in our HTC One M7 forums: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one
In "HTC language", an RUU is a ROM, which is what you need in order to flash the OS back onto your device.
I haven't owned an HTC for a number of years now, so I can't recall the place place to find stock firmware (RUU) files.
I will move this thread to the M7 Q&A forum for you, so that hopefully someone else can assist you further.
It will probably help if you can let us know which region you are from, as firmware is often region specific. Which country?

We"ll need a bit more info to indentify your phone. If you dont already have adb and fastboot installed on your computer, Google search for "minimal adb and fastboot". You should find an xda thread explaining how to set up adb and fastboot. Once done youll also need to install HTC drivers. It can be done by installing HTC Sync manager from htc's website. Then connect your phone using the usb calbe, boot in bootloader mode (power + volume down). Start the minimal adb and fastboot terminal window and type "fastboot getvar all" (without the quotes. Post the output of that command in this thread (take care to remove the imei and serialno lines before posting).

There is a mismatch between your version-main and your cid/mid. The version-main (firmware version) is an old at&t version but your cid/mid are set to accept t-mobile firmware. That will be easy to fix but first what OS do you want on your phone? The latest official Sense rom (lollipop 5.0.2), latest GPE rom (lollipop 5.1) or latest custom rom (Nougat 7.1)?

From what I understand it originally was an AT&T phone that was switched to T-Mobile. As for which OS. I am not picky so whichever is easiest and then I guess the newest.
Thanks again.

Is there a custom recovery installed on your phone, like TWRP or CWM?
Boot your phone in bootloader mode then select "recovery" and hit the power button. If you don't see "recovery'' that's because you"re booted in "fastboot" menu, in this case select "bootloader" and you should see the "recovery" option.
Your phone will reboot in recovery mode, just need to know what recovery is installed for now. If your phone is running stock recovery you will see an exclamation mark in a red triangle, otherwise you'll see TWRP splash screen or CWM menu. If booting to TWRP or CWM please report back what version number it is.

Good, we can fix your CID and MID first. You can use this guide to write supercid to your phone. WIth your phone in bootloader mode (in the fastboot menu) Start the minimal adb and fastboot terminal then follow the guide from step 9 - 12.
Then to change your MID reboot in recovery and type:
Code:
adb shell
and
Code:
echo -ne '\x50\x00\x4e\x00\x30\x00\x37\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=1 seek=16384
Better to copy/paste that one...
Then reboot in bootloader mode again and confirm your mid is now PN0710000 (your can use the "fastboot getvar all" command)
Download this firmware and save it in the same location where minimal adb and fastboot.exe is installed on your computer
WIth your phone in bootloader mode (fastboot menu) type (the command is case sensitive btw):
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Your phone will reboot in RUU mode, you should see a black screen with a silver HTC logo
type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
Should take a few seconds before saying : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately).
So do the same command again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
The second time, it should take a few minutes and you'll see "okay" at the end, then proceed with
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Back in bootloader mode again, confirm your version-main is now 7.19.401.2 (use "fastboot getvar all")
If everything went fine you can proceed to the final steps:
Download this RUU and this version of htc_fastboot.exe and save both files in the same folder where you already have minimal adb and fastboot.exe.
reboot again in ruu mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and once there type:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_458803_signed.exe
The flash should take a while and your phone will reboot once during the process. Once 100% done you can reboot the phone and it will boot in the OS (android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense)

The first step changing the CID worked. But when I tried to change the MID I had a problem. When you say boot into recovery do you mean go into recovery from the hdboot screen? The only way adb can find the phone is from the fastboot screen. here is what I get when in recovery :
adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
And when in Fastboot:
adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device '(null)' not found
Also, When I boot into fastboot the phone is identified as Android in devices and the HTC Sync Manager finds it. In hdboot or recovery it is identified as "one" and HTC Sync Manager cannot find it.
Sorry for all the difficulties.
Thank you.

try with twrp recovery instead, you can download it from here and as usual, save it in the same folder where you have your minimal adb/fastboot.exe installed
to flash twrp, boot in bootloader mode (fastboot menu)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then select "recovery" and wait for twrp to boot (you'll see a twrp splash screen, then the twrp main menu. With your phone in twrp main menu, you should be able to use the adb commands.

I cannot figure out where ADB is located. The program I have installed allows me to use it from anywhere. Here is what shows up when I open the powershell. Isn't there a way to open the shell in any folder?
Windows PowerShell

I figured out how to start shell in a folder and was able to get TWRP to install. This is what I got.

rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.039s]

Now with TWRP loaded I get a message about a partition. DoI want to have a parition??
Unmodified system partition
Keep system read only?
TWRP can leave your system partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. TWRP will be unable to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP and will not offer to root you device.
installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition.
Now when I run code: "adb shell" this is what shows:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
~ # 
And it just stays there.

That is exactly what you want, you can now type your commands.
