Stuck at No OS Installed - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Hello guys, first of. Sorry if this was answered a million times already.
Second, I have an issue I've been trying to solve for 3 days now.
3 days ago I was trying to flash a new ROM to my already-rooted HTC One (M7).
I copied all the files as usual and before I flash the new ROM I went to wipe cache, etc.
The problem is that I retardly wiped my system and "memory card" too...
Now Im stuck with no OS. and since the HTC One doesnt use a SD card, I need to use fastboot to transfer files.
Now my problem is: Files dont transfer...
I tried locking the bin, unlocking it again, I can access my TWRP recovery menu and tried to use Sideload. Nothing works.
I pretty much get stuck with this error:
Code:
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Root Files\Root_HTC_One_Sprint>fastboot flash unloc
ktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...

C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Root Files\Root_HTC_One_Sprint>fastboot flash recov
ery philz_touch_6.08.9-m7spr.img
sending 'recovery' (9552 KB)...
^ The above is just an example of me trying to install a new recovery, but same thing applies to "push files" and so on...
Ive done my homework and the only conclusion I can draw from all these hours of frustration is that my phone, somehow disabled USB debugging. Therefore the files cannot be copied.
:::EDIT:::
Oh, I forgot to add. I also followed the guides from: http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unrootunbrick-the-htc-one-to-stock-2/
As I go trough the steps I get an error after running the step #3 into installing the RUU (6:00 onto the video). After I get the "Verifying phone if its connected to PDA..." I get an error that says "Your phone battery is lower than 30%, please charge your phone and try again". But the thing is that my phone is at 100% battery.
Also, the information on my phone itself is:

What RUU are you attempting to install? If it is the one Tim has on his website it is way too old.

Same thing happened to me, turns out I was using an outdated RUu. Make sure it is the latest one.

I personally updated my hboot and installed the latest RUU available and then updated my phone. But I wasn't interested in getting s-off, I just wanted a stock phone.

I cant find anywhere the latest version though.
The only version I find is version: 3.04.651.2
I cant find any other except older ones.
:::EDIT:::
I also used the 2 versions from sprint posted on this site: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
and I still get this error:
Code:
ERROR [120]: MAIN BATTERY POWER
This error message will appear when the Android phone’s battery power is not sufficient (Batter power should be more than 30%). Although RUU will instruct you to plug in the AC adapter, it will still need to make sure that your Android phone has enough power to complete the update. (The Android phone cannot charge the battery when it is connected to the PC while installing the RUU).

if you are s-on you'll need the stock recovery( I think) also and have your bootloader locked

My bootloader is locked, I can lock or unlock at will. But its locked.
As far as recovery goes, I have TWRP. How would I go about getting it back to stock recovery without the ability of going back to stock ROM/Recovery ?

i'm not quite sure you need stock recovery or not, but you flash it in fastboot the same as twrp. the stock recovery is here in the forums somewhere I can't remember where, maybe someone will chime in here who knows for sure if you need it or not.

Thanks for the reply, I tried flashing this and nothing changed. I was actually using your Viper's ROM prior to me running into this issue >_<!
Anyway, as stated in post #1. This is the error I run into whenever I try to push or flash anything to the phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
This happens with both modes, with Locked OEM and Unlocked OEM.
The "error" is that it can hang there for hours without actually copying anything to the phone. lol
This also applies whenever I try to use TWRP's Sideload. I get the same result: "Sending to x..."

Have you tried using USB-OTG to flash a ROM? Make sure your bootloader is unlocked before you flash though.

Recovery shouldn't matter because when you install an RUU the recovery is replaced with stock. I don't understand your battery issue though.

Don't think it would matter but maybe make sure everything is utd on your SDK manager.

I just ordered the USB adapter from amazon. It will take 3-5 weeks to get here... -_-
In the meantime I hope there is an actual fix to it.
As for the battery error:
After I get this screen:
I get this:
My battery is at 100%

Have you tried another USB cable in the first place?
It could be something as simple as that.

+1 I have seen weird issues with poor quality or bad USB cables.
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
Maybe try this:
Unlock the Device
Flash CWM
Recharge the Phone to 100%
Reset Battery Stats (Honestly unsure if the HTC One CWM has this option)
Lock
Flash the stock recovery
Flash the RUU
...
Profit

I tried multiple ports and multiple cables.
While doing troubleshoots I found that adb does seem trying to move them but I get an "Permission Denied error"

Hi L0rdNels0n, thanks for the help but i'm not quite sure where you are directing us to in Mike1986's thread? If i have understood correctly because we are S-ON with hboot 1.54 and CID=VODAP001 we are unable to flash firmware or return to stock unless someone has an RUU or nandroid for CID=VODAP001. SuperCID doesnt work because we are S-ON and we cant S-OFF because we are on hboot 1.54 (Revone doesnt work). Is that not correct?
I know we can flash ROMs and use a different 'recovery' but we cant update firmware or return the handset to stock Vodaphone.
Have I not understood something?
Mine was originally VODAP001 and I am also looking for a way to go back to Vodafone stock because I am planning to return the phone (i have that awful red/blue noise when taking pictures in low light conditions).
This is my current setup (running mike's 4.3 ROM).

I'm using this that you wrote in another thread
if that is the right one for you, and you stay S-Off, then:
"1- extract the "firmware.zip" package and put it in your adb folder; you'll need it later
2- download and install this (using CWM or TWRP): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_res...-24-161-1-zip/
select WIPE, unselect ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"
3- use either the Guru Bootloader Reset method (mentioned in the guide), or if you are comfortable with adb:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2475914 (IF you need to set LOCKED)
(the above adb commands work in custom recovery)
4- flash firmware.zip, you extracted earlier:

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
you should now be back at stock."
I'm installing the zip and selected wipe but its stuck at 0% D:

OTA update nightmare, am I rooted or not??
Hello,
I've had a real nightmare with this so wondering if you guys could help.
I rooted my phone no probs. I then installed elementalX, no probs. (S-on and still is now) OTA update needs installing, so I thought I'll just put the stock recovery on and install the update, then revert to TWRP all cocky like.
FAIL. So I blame the custom kernel and try uninstalling it, or installing over it with the stock Kernel from htcdev.
Then realise I might have screwed something up using the kernel developer kernel??!! Kernel version currently states:
3.4.10-g40b189c
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
Flash stock recovery on phone (don't ask me which but I switching between that and TWRP no probs). I panick and disable SuperSu, but it carries on. I delete it using ESfile explorer (giving root permissions to deleting it), its still there. I re-lock the bootloader. I flash the version of the firmware.zip on this thread which is compatible with my VODAP001 (even if it wasn't I'm still s-on, so it won't do anything at worst) it flashes fine, fastboot reboot. Then I try installing the OTA and after a quarter of the install progress I get red triangle and "!". ADB.exe see's my phone as unauthorised, but the phone behaves as if it's rooted still?!
ALL I WANT TO DO IS INSTALL THIS BLOODY OTA UPDATE!! So I can forget about it again. I am currently on 6.12.161.8 the new one is .9. Or is it really that important? Should I freeze "SYSTEM Updates MUC" or similar using Titanium?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance :good:

your missing system files from unlocking the bootloader, OTA will never work unless you RUU back to stock or find a Guru reset that includes the priv-app system folder that got deleted during unlock.
when the OTA fails you can hold volume up and tap power to see what file is missing / changed

4.3 update, help needed

Hello there. I've been trying to do an ota update for my HTC One to android 4.3 for a while now and it hasn't been successful. Every time I check I get the "Your phone is up to date" message. I'm stuck on 4.2.2. I've tried contacting HTC about my problem, and apparently my device is the O2 version which according to them, hasn't received the update yet, although from my search, it seems that the 4.3 update has been on O2 since last November . I bought my device thinking it was the unlocked, worldwide version of the One; the place that I've purchased it from said nothing about it being an O2 device. Could it be that this has to do with the fact that when I setup my device, I choose my country (Jordan) instead of the UK? How can I update it to 4.3 without rooting it? Is there a way to change the country settings and check for an update? Thank you for your time :laugh:

Has nothing to do with which country you choose, it depends on CID and MID; MID should be PN071000 (for M7_UL European model), and the CID you can see in the bootloader screen.

Thank you very much for your reply. It's messed up that O2 would take this long to release such an update that's been rolling to the HTC One since October :crying:

I just checked my bootloader and it says "tampered" on top. Although, I've never messed around with it or tried to unlock it. My device was new when bought, so this is very peculiar.

I didn't get what you meant by GetVar all info, how can I access those?
Oh and from clicking on recovery in the Bootloader menu I've just discovered that there's something called the ClockWorkMod installed on my device

well, here's the short version: whoever you bought your phone from (be that second hand, or even a shop), they unlocked bootloader (using HTCdev) and were playing around with it.
in either case, they should have informed you of the state of the phone they sold you.
now to get the phone back to something close to new (out of the box), how familiar are you with adb & fastboot?
i can help fix or convert your phone, but need to know how familiar you are with the above commands.

I'm quite unfamiliar with them. It was my first time using it when I got the following Getvar info. Also, will this delete all of the data on my phone? And could it be that this was done in order to unlock my device on other carriers? Or will it work on all carriers even when reset to it's factory settings? I can't thank you enough for your help!

1- no, it was not done to unlock from carriers! that would be SIM-Unlock, nothing to do with the phones bootloader unlocked
2- You wanna turn your phone into an unbranded WWE GCC Edition? would that be you're ultimate goal, or do you have anything else in mind, for example: using custom ROMs?
3- or do you just wanna keep it O2 branded?

Well, I guess it'd be nice to make it into a World Wide unlocked edition, unless that means delving more in technicalities(I'm afraid of bricking it) and not getting OTA HTC updates, in which case I'd want to return it into it's stock state with O2 branding.

1- So first things first, backup EVERYTHING to your PC!! If you're going to do this, then sooner or later you're going to wipe everything off your phone! (probably sooner ... actually very soon!)
2- Second thing is to get S-Off: you're still on hboot 1.44 (April 2013) and firmware 1.xx, so the easiest is to use revone, and in order to avoid unnecessary headaches, use the following ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48955645&postcount=250
3- get s-off using revone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
4- once s-off, change your CID (ie Carrier ID) to unbranded WWE GCC: in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
fastboot oem writecid HTC__J15 <-- two underscores
fastboot reboot-bootloader
5- (optional) want to remove TAMPERED and set phone to LOCKED? use this tool: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_bootloader_reset_1-0-zip/
6- download and run this RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
after you run the above file, you're phone will be completely returned to "out of the box", model M7_UL (PN0710000) and WWE GCC (CID HTC__J15)
all done, enjoy the updates.

I just started following your steps to get my HTC One back to stock but unfortunately during the flash it got stuck on the HTC Queitly Brilliant screen, so I 'ingeniously" resetted it into recovery and clicked on Factory reset, and now it's again stuck on that screen. I'm Scared sh**less here. Is this normal? Have I bricked my device? Is this fixable?

next time please use copy/paste, screenshots are so hard to read, and by the time i'm responding, i've already forgotten what it says.
so hboot is still 1.44, and fw is still 1.xx, so still need to get s-off first
so for this exercise, we're gonna use CWM 6.0.4.5:

then flash that in bootloader:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery, once in recovery
adb push Android_Revolution_HD-One_9.4.zip /data/media/
^^ the ROM is posted earlier (credits to @mike1986.)
then "install" it in CWM.
and continue as instructed before to get S-Off.

[RUU][Firmware]Sprint HTC One | 4.06.651.4 | Encrypted | Decrypted | Stock Rooted ROM

Here we have the RUU for the Sprint HTC One 4.06.651.4!!! This RUU is for the Sprint One ONLY to restore your phone back to stock. If you are S-ON, you MUST relock your bootloader prior to using this RUU.
HUGE Thanks to the dude who hooked me up, you're awesome!
credit to @-viperboy- for decrypting, thanks!
***IMPORTANT NOTE*** you must first update your hboot to 1.56 to flash this 4.06 RUU, see full firmware below ( I recommend being s-off before doing so)

This is what I get every time. After following this guide I am normally able to use fastboot/adb just fine.
I am on rumrunner hboot 1.55.5555
Let me know what other info I can provide.. Please help!
Edit:
I ran the utility on my XP computer, and it gave me a little more info: "The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."

The end result are the same.
The OTA will update the the version of android you are on and keepall of your data intact
The RUU will wipe everything on your phone and reset it as it was when it was brand new but with the latest version of android or the version of the RUU you are using.

when u install an OTA, alot of files are "patched", RUU is just cleaner. When I diffed the 4.06 dump against the RUU, most of the files were binary equal but there were 250+ that were not.
OP updated with 4.06 firmware, which includes the radio & much more that were not in the OTA....this will be especially handy for users that are on older versions of JB that need to get caught up.
no more simultaneous voice + LTE

I'm trying to run the RUU but I am getting an error 158. The installer runs and gets my phone to the black HTC screen then it fails. After exiting the installer my phone does a reboot and I'm back into my ROM (Bad Boys 4.4.2 v1.1). My phone is running unlocked HBOOT 1.44 and is S-OFF. Any ideas? Searching has netted some hits on other device forums but nothing terribly helpful for the One specifically. Should I take the Rom.zip out of the 4_06_651_4 folder and try to flash it with fastboot? If so is that ok to do unlocked or do I need to do an oem lock first?

Understood, apologies if my post wasn't clear. When running the RUU installer from my PC I get an error 158. I was asking if anyone knows what is causing this/how to fix it or if I can work around it by manually running fastboot flash zip rom.zip and if that was safe to do unlocked.
Thanks for your help!
Unless I am mistaken, you have to relock your bootloader to run the RUU.

[Q] Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 using Mac OS.

Hello Xda-Developers, im new in the Android world, since i've been an iPhone user since the original iPhone all the way to the iPhone 4 (then things got pretty boring with). I used to Jailbreak my iPhone to have a more flexible experience with it... about 8~9 months ago i bought my first Android, an HTC One (M7) and it worked like a charm and never wanted to look back to iPhone, UNTIL one day i made an OTA update to 4.4.2, i've been having troubles with the signal, it shows full bars, i have 3G signal, but it shows "No Service" and i can't make/receive calls/SMS, i've been searching for 2 weeks or so, on how to fix it and i even sent it to warranty, and had my Sim replaced... twice. The problem persists, reading further i found that many users have been having this issues (and others) since the Kit Kat Update... So i decided to go beyond the world of a normal user... i want to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 (by the way i'm a Mac user), before making this thread i've been looking other threads and forums to help me on how to do it This is my first post on XDA Developers. Trust me, i've been looking for answers everywhere, the most similar thread i found was this thread.
And at the end the guy went for a new device, so that thread didn't help me out that much.
What i was able to do (hey, at least its a start) is to Unlock the Bootloader via HTCdev.
i think i've read pretty much to know some terms already, also thanks to Lifehacker
So... as i said before, im a Mac user, unfortunately i don't find much answers on how to do stuff with my HTC One and my Mac.
Let's get to the point:
I'd like to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 (the original HTC version, or a 4.4.2 stable custom version, whatever you think is better)
PS. Do i reeeeaaly need to S-Off and/or downgrade my HBoot?
i have:

Tampered is not harmful, just ugly to see. It's a flag for service to know your phone is not unlocked out of the box. You can just flash a 4.3 ROM, no need to s-off

Im so Noob, so if you could give me steps in order or redirect me to other threads on how to do a step, i'd be sooo thankful. I'm sorry if there's already a thread solving my doubt please redirect me there (i swear i've been searching for 2 days).

Yes, s-off is required to downgrade. Ruu is possible with a mac if you use a ruu.zip instead of a ruu.exe. S-OFF is more difficult to achieve on hboot 1.56, so maybe you'll have to use a custom rom if you can't s-off.
If you already unlocked bootloader and rooted your phone, I assume you can use adb and fastboot from your mac. If not then read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237
Then s-off the phone using rumrunner or firewater.
There is also a discussion here about S-OFF and hboot 1.56: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567727
If you can s-off you'll be able to downgrade using a ruu.zip from your mac.

Tampered is not harmful, just ugly to see. It's a flag for service to know your phone is not unlocked out of the box. You can just flash a 4.3 ROM, no need to s-off

So, i can flash any 4.3 ROM (regardless of my phones software version [4.19.401.11] and/or my CID)?
After this, will i be able to make OTA Updates?

You can flash anything you like. If you flash stock rooted 4.3 ROM you will get OTA but you can't upgrade just like that. You need to relock your bootloader, flash stock recovery and stock kernel. On the other hand, you have great choice of custom kitkat ROMs which work great, so you can flash one of them. ARHD 53 would be my recomendation

Thanks a lot!
So far i managed to Unlock bootloader (with a Tampered Flag), S-OFF with firewater on hboot 1.56 and root it via TWRP and SuperSU.
I cant find a RUU for my CID HTC__405 though i have this stock ROM and it says it can restore to stock radios (which hopefully will solve my problems)... stock radios will be restored now that i have S-Off... right?
and a last question... once i am back in 4.3 will i be able to download further OTA updates (say... when 4.4.3 comes out)? if not, what should i do now?

Did you check your md5's??? I've had a multitude of my friends phones get stuck on boot screen.. Tell them to check md5 and it works.. One, as others have said, I would suggest flashing a couple Roms. See what you like, if you don't like any of them, then ruu back to stock. Also what twrp are you using? Did the ROM you installed request for a certain recovery to be used? I'm a Mac user so I understand lol. But what ROM??
Sent from my Rezound running PAC-Man with SENSE!! 4.4.2 S-OFF

i managed to solve it, i re installed this ROM which matches my CID (HTC__405), the ROM didnt ask me for any recovery to be used..... anyway.. so far i haven't had any luck fixing my first issue, which is that whenever i lose signal it wont reconnect, it will say "No Service" but still have 3G/4G working, i cant make/receive calls/SMSs.
Any idea on how to fix this issue?

So, the issue is not resolved with custom ROM? I guess it's a hardware problem then

Nope, before making this whole thread i sent it to warranty and they supposedly repaired it, i changed sim twice.
im going back further, trying 2.24.401.8 with android 4.2
Let's see if that works, or else i'll start trying custom ROMs... so far i've been using stocks.

Well, good luck. I just want to say - if you have the same problem with more than one ROM, no matter if it's stock or modified there is a hardware issue.
Supposedly is what bothers me the most in your case. Maybe your service doesn't care for their customers. It wouldn't be the first
True ^^ I agree with @donkeykong1 If you've had two SIMs and all that......its a hardware issue that is malfunctioning....

You're s-off correct? Ive seen people not needing to go back s-on for warranty purposes. But pretty much if you want to go back to stock, its just ruu, it does it all for you. Takes you back Locked with factory recovery and full just straight stock.

Ok, so i know where to find some RUUs but i know using a mac i have to use a .zip, right?
my question is... how do i use a RUU.zip? do i install it placing it in the internal storage then use TWRP?
So far i haven't lost signal.

Okay, well a ruu can be placed on the internal memory.....but...... the way that I've always seen it done, or a lot of times is
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
Code:
./fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
./fastboot flash RUU.zip
the RUU.zip could be named anything so you might have to rename the RUU or change the RUU.zip in terminal to what ever the foop you named it, although I wouldn't do the RUU with those instructions just yet.... Can someone else confirm it??

you might want to reset your phone using a ruu before to make sure your issue is really related to an hardware defect.
This ruu.zip will reset your phone to stock 1.28.401.7 (android 4.1.2) and hboot 1.44.
Then if you see the phone still have the issue, remove the tampered flag and set the bootloader back to ''LOCKED'' using this tool. Then s-on and send for warranty repair/replacement. This procedure must be done before you take any ota that will update your phone to hboot 1.55 or the tampered flag will come back and you'll have to s-off again and redo the entire procedure.

Make sure the ruu.zip is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are.
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
or manually reboot the phone in bootloader using power + vol down
Code:
./fastboot oem rebootRUU
make sure ''RUU'' are capital letters
Code:
./fastboot flash name_of_ruu.zip
First time it will output a failed message, do the same command again:
Code:
./fastboot flash name_of_ruu.zip

Are you sure you flashed the Sprint version of Viper One, you cant just use the GSM version, the partition layouts are different.

You have no choice, you have to use CDMA rom's, GSM rom's wont work, you also need to make sure your using the correct recovery for flashing it, usually mentioned in the OP of the rom, I think viper one needs TWRP, again you need to make sure its the Sprint version of TWRP, worries me a bit that youve been flashing firmware though, especially if it was GSM firmware and was successful, you could of messed up the partitions.
Im just trying to find the link on how to convert a CDMA phone to GSM.

I have the last twrp, and on viper it lets you select beetwen sprint or gsm, if im using a gsm sim or sprint, this phone was used before on gsm, they told me that, that i just have to flash viper and select gsm to get the gsm to work out and get 4G or H+, and i do that and it gives the thing that i posted, but flashing the firmware did not work out, dont know why, and RUU also did not, so i dont know, what does the htc logo mean after the lockscreen?
so you saying that if i select the sprint mark on viper it should work out? i thik ive done that, but i can try it again, the other rom i flashed frrom the sprint forum, was more stock to the ruu, even had the sprint boot animation logo, and it happen the same thing, the htc logo after lockscreen, so im assuming if something else, but i dont know what is it
i searched for s-on and someone had that issue, but i cant convert it to s-off because i cant get into the phone, but what if i flashed the cm11 rom and try to get it to work? im just guessing

The device has Unknown IMEI and Baseband, the HTC logo after unlocking the screen is a sure sign. Unfortunately if you have flashed the firmware and it didn't fix it it is most likely a hardware problem.
Try flashing CM11 this should solve the lock screen problem and stop the device rebooting. But you will have no cell service. Now go to Settings>About>Phone Identity and check the IMEI
Then Settings>About>Software Information>More and check the baseband. Both are most likely Unknown
Can you post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
please remove the IMEI and Serial number before posting

It's worth trying an RUU or flashing firmware. It could be a corrupt in which case an ruu would fix it.
If the an RUU doesn't work then it's safe to say it's a hardware problem.
Unknown IMEI and Baseband is the cause of the HTC logo being displayed after unlocking the screen yes. Also the device will reboot it's self every 2 to 5 mins and there will be no cell service at all. No mobile or Data signal.
For some reason CM11 allows the device to function normally even with this problem although you will still have no cell service, every thing else should work just fine. WiFi Bluetooth and so on.
So flash CM11 to check IMEI and Baseband, then flash an ruu to return to stock. If the problem persists take it to repair centre :good:
