[Q] Help, Stuck on RUU - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I am by no means a noob but here's what happened with my T-Mobile HTC One.
I was running the CM11 lastest nightly with the latest TWRP, S-ON when I decided I needed to go back to stock. So I locked the bootloader using fastboot oem lock after rebooting to the bootloader and since my phone was last on 3.24.531, that's the RUU I flashed (I remember now I didn't run it as administrator the first time). The RUU failed and it said that some partitions basically couldn't be flashed. Not the radio, but the userdata and system for example couldn't be flashed. It was able to flash boot though. I kept trying the RUU multiple times. At first it would keep failing the same way, but now I am stuck on the black HTC logo with the 4 triangles in the corners. I kept getting error 155 even though my bootloader is clearly relocked. Every time I reboot the phone manually it goes to the black HTC screen, and I have to insert and remove the USB cable in order to get to the bootloader RUU mode screen, but there's no option for fastboot. I can, however, seemingly unlock the bootloader and lock at my will and also flash recoveries (I still have my Unlock_code.bin and it does get accepted), but I can't get to them.
Now I have yet another problem, I can't charge the phone because I was about to try this RUU instead (5.14.531.1): http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-t-mobile/news/ but now I get error 120. Any idea how I can get this thing to charge and how I can fix my problem once I get it charged more again? Thanks guys I'm kind of desperate here...
EDIT: Maybe another idea would be to format the partitions manually then re-run the RUU, because I was on CM11 4.4.4 and I was trying to reinstall the 4.3 T-Mobile RUU, and maybe they were confusingly formatted for the RUU? Idk.
Okay when I go to RUU mode looking at the bootloader screen and plug this thing into a charger, FASTBOOT AC lights up, but I can't tell if the phone is charging...is that one way to charge it?

Alright, I solved it. Solutions were:
1. YES, fastboot ac does mean that the phone is charging
2. I ran the 5.14.531.1 RUU as administrator, and it worked. Cleared up all the triangles and flashed all the partitions successfully. All good.

[Q] modelid is PN071*****?

Is that supposed to happen? Is it safe to assume that my mid is PN0710000 then? if not, how should I fix this?
Wait, where is written this MID?
in adb when trying to fastboot getvar all. It probably didn't help that it says getvar all failed, but I'm stuck here
Wait, if you will you the command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
you musb be in fastboot usb.
If you're in android, you can boot in fastboot with the command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader[/url] and now you can use the getvar.
p.s. Post it here deleting imei and serial number :)
I did it just like that, did it a couple more times just to make sure, and still got the same result. Anyways:

Your version main start with 5, when the latest base starts with 3, and this is strange.
However, have you flashed some firmware in this period?
Probably there is a solution, but i don't know atm.
well, I just bought this phone yesterday (yay me), realized something was off when I couldn't OTA update (which is because of S-off), and now afraid to just flash the new 3.62 firmware because of the stars (asterisks?). could it be i did something wrong with the commands?
Try to flash a ruu for your phone
ok, I'll take a look at that. thanks for your help Guich
edit: what kind of RUU should I get? do i need to match it with the bootloader or something else, or any one of them works?

A ruu compatible with your cid
Because you're s-off and all ruu can be flashed fine!
hey Guich, I took your advice and tried to flash the RUU, but now i'm getting very confused. the flashing went fine, but I see no changes on my phone. In Settings>About>Software Information the software version is still 1.29.401.13, while getvar all shows me that the version is 3.62.401.1. Is there anything I'm misunderstanding here?
edit: do i need to unlock the bootloader for any of this?
I have same PN071**** I dont remember what was there before I have it from Ebay probly some Chinesse version but the cover say that it is PN714000, I accidently changed S-OFF to S On and flashed another rom.I cant do S-OFF anymore tried many things. Riffbox doesnt work with 714000 unfortunately.

[Q] HTC One boot loop

Hi hopefully someone can help me out here.
My HTC One is running Android Revolution HD 41.0, TWRP 2.6.3.3. Last night for no apparent reason the phone shut down, when i tried to power it back on it was caught in a boot loop, getting no further than the HTC logo screen. I can get into the bootloader by holding the volume down key but not recovery. This morning it powered on fine and I have been using it for a few hours today - the phone lost charge and I am now in the same situation again. The only way i can get into recovery is by reflashing using fastboot then immediately booting into it. I can only access the recovery once per flash. Whilst in recovery i attempted to backup the phone and it once again shut down (17% charge at this point).
Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I attempt to reflash the ROM from the recovery? Or try another recovery as there seems to be an issue with the recovery partition also.

I'm now unable to power the phone on, i've had it on charge for a few hours now and still nothing. Holding the power and volume down button doesn't work either. I was previously able to install new recovery images but flashing a new ROM didn't work as I kept experiencing hanging issues in recover and the last ROM flash crashed TWRP.
I'm considering returning the phone as it is still within warranty but i'm worried i'll have trouble as it has been rooted. Does anyone have any experience of returning a rooted phone?
some workarounds

I am a newbie too but wanted to let everyone know concerning "not charging". I have seen where this is an issue with problem flashes and THIS can be resolved by having a wireless charging unit handy:

HELP Soft Bricked HTC One M7 (Sprint) S-ON, No OS, RUU Not Running

So I got my HTC one and rooted it immediately and Installed Cyanogenmod 11. I love Cyanogenmod but my SMS and MMS messages were all screwed up. I booted back up from my backup and noticed that It was running Android 4.3, 4.4 is available so I tried to install the update, It failed so I realized this must be because I was rooted so I went about going back to stock HTC Sense. I relocked the bootloader and ran RUU but the program crashed. After that I was only able to get to the fastboot page, recovery would crash. I ran a few different verisons of RUU but each one failed (error 155 being most prevalent). I unlocked my bootloader again and cyanogenmod started to boot up but never got through. I wipe data and cache. CM still won't boot. I reflashed the CWM recovery and tried to load the back up that I had. I get multiple errors about not being able to mount /system, /cache everything. I installed TWRP and tried to do sideload, not working. I have a USB OTG cable and I tried to load files that way, no good. I don't have S-Off and I can't boot into a rom so I can't get S-Off. I've exhausted google, not sure what to do now. Here is a breakdown.

How did you get it to have no OS? If the phone is off and you first hold down the volume down button then the power button (keep them pressed till the screen lights up). Make sure that you've also had it charged.

I am S-ON
I tried to unroot my phone and firewater told me that my kernel contains anti-firewater files.
so i decieded to flash ARHD, while flashing, I wiped my phone and after that I couldnt flash any ROMs. ( ARHD and a ROM that HTC has sent for me)
I want to flash HTC sense rom and return to stock.
thanks

[Q] Restoring 100% to stock, not working as it should...

Hi guys,
First of all, I did read all the topics conserning to RUU, S-On/S-Off, rumrunner, moonshine, firewater, revone, and so on but I can't seem to figure out how to properly do this.
Currently the HTC is running MIUI v5 4.5.16 JB4.2. But for warranty it has to go back to the store and I want to restore it to completly stock ROM etc. without any evidence I had a custom ROM running.
What I did was, follow the steps to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recover (TWRP v2.6.3.0) and finally root it after MIUI was flashed.
The info you guys prolly need are as followed:

I tried to get S-Off but I keep getting strange errors on all of the given methods. This should work somehow I guess but how? Can somebody give me some kind of "roadmap" how to do it properly?
Currently fastboot shows:

At the moment I'm downloading "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe". But I already noticed that if I turn S-On (fastboot oem lock) then the phone is stuck in fast boot mode...
Thanks!
I think S-off is danger may u brick ur phone, it's better to leave it

Yeah but what if I need it to go back to stock ROM?
Now it's running stock ROM but I still get "TAMPERED" and "UNLOCKED" in the bootloader. I once went into the stock recovery, and once rebooted it reset itself and everything was back factory install -again- ...?

The OTA update to 4.3 even fails once it reboots itself for installation. Something wrong or normal?
EDIT:
I've done "fastboot oem lock" and now it's showing (as expected) "RELOCKED".

Yup it will do, the only way to get rid of those flags tampered and unlocked / relocked is to go s-off, which strange messages are you getting whilst trying to s-off ?
I have a backup of the Vodafone Rom which you can restore through twrp, I'll send a link when I get home in a couple of hours, but it won't get rid of those flags, 401.RUU is the wrong RUU, you need 161.
---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
Ps there is no danger going s-off, as long as your flashing the correct software for your phone, the only danger is when you don't know what your doing and try to flash something wrong, it won't warn you, won't error and won't fail to flash, but at reboot it also won't come back on again.

Well... It said it had a OTA update (like before) to 4.3 and I downloaded it. Reboot, installed, reboot --> bootloop. Now it's "HTC - quietly brilliant", black screen for couple of seconds and reboot to start from HTC logo again...
It's really beginning to piss me of.
But anyway, thanks for the help! A TWRP backup of 161 would be nice, then I'll install that one. The servers at htc1guru are giving me headache, speed is only between 50 and 250 kb/sec! I tried to download more then once but they keep failing on me when they reach bigger sizes and at this speed it's really really annoying to start over again...
Does "M7 CWM Nandroid Backup CID VODAP102 1.29.161.7" work for me? I guess not because it's 1.29 and I already have a higher version so it will give me the touchscreen issues?
To be honest, if this phone finally makes it to the store for repair I hope they can't repair it and let me choose an other phone. I had multiple Android phones the past years (with sometimes more then 2-3 different roms per week) and never had any of these long stretching problems!
The problem your having with the ota sounds like whilst you were installing the guru reset file, you must select to wipe data and also install stock recovery, it will fail without stock recovery.
Well, I did select to install the stock recovery and stock radio in the aroma installer. So I'm out of clues why it's giving me so much problems...
EDIT:
I unlocked the bootloader again and flashed TWRP. I'll try with your Vodafone image once you have time to share it with me. Already big thanks for the help!
here's the backup, you will need to extract the zip file and put the folder named backup into SDCARD/TWRP/BACKUPS/"your device serial number/
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=5940&id=0B_nEcSZr5peRZnpMSHRPRjlzX2c
This will put you on Vodafone 4.4.2 with sense 5.5, however you cant send your phone back until you have got rid of those 2 flags in the bootloader, only way to do that is s-off.
Ignore the folder called recovery, its just TWRP recovery to flash.
After installing, download the stock recovery from the link below and flash it to get OTAs
http://d-h.st/Cyq
Hit the thanks button please.
Just finished installing it! It works so far, although it came up with a new 5.16.161.2 update right now (already has been downloaded...). What should I do?
Currently it's still in TAMPERED and UNLOCKED state with TWRP installed.

there is no way out of this without s-off, I don't even understand why you are putting efforts on installing ota/guru reset/nandroid backup at this point.
you are on hboot 1.56 means you should try to s-off using firewater.
then you'll be able to remove the tampered flag and set the bootload back to "LOCKED" (not RE-LOCKED)

I know. I tried to get s-off but none of the given tools succeeded. They all complete their full cycle and eventually after the last reboot I go and check the state and it still says s-on... Then I did read I need a proper ROM so the tools can work (better). I tried to install ARHD like you mention, but after flashing it was stuck in a bootloop again. Clearing the cache and davlik didn't solve it.
At the moment I only need to know if it's safe to update to the new 5.16.161.2 update while it's unlocked... I got TWRP installed but I know I have to flash the stock recovery in order to make the update work. But I'm afraid I'm going to brick it again if I lock it again, as I don't know if it's needed to let the update complete without any errors.

Guru Reset to Stock, OTA doesn't work

Hi,
So I have used a guru reset for my Vodafone AU branded HTC One (M7) as there is no RUU for it. I have gone ahead and "relocked" the bootloader (I'm S-ON BTW), and then attempted to run OTA. All works fine until it finished installing the update after which it just goes into a boot loop. I've attempted this twice, both times wiping everything beforehand and installing stock recovery (obviously) and stock radio. Is there something else I need to do to get the OTA to work properly or is it impossible to run OTA using this guru reset.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This was the only stock ROM for Vodafone AU I can find. I originally made a nandroid backup when I first rooted the phone but that has since been accidentally deleted. If you have a more recent version of the stock Vodafone AU ROM that would be much appreciated.
version-main is the most important bit and it's blank :-/ I think older versions of TWRP or CWM had a blank version-main bug? Do you remember what was the last OTA update you took or roughly when? Otherwise, maybe update recovery and see if version-main shows up.
Australian stock unbranded nandroids should also work for you. Go check the Australian users thread for nandroid backups for almost every version (x.x.980.x).
@yatindroid I'm curious about making my own reset ROM. Got any links to info/how to?

I have Ubuntu so its easy to open and extract nandroid backup and compression
open nandroid backup extract system and data/preload folder
Take any reset rom replace its system and data folder to your backup folders
replace boot recovery radio files from same version (extract from OTA firmware)
edit aroma config details version etc with notepad++
now zip all files and its ready nothing much require
I think @Joeisgood99 have reset rom 6.xx.980.x version
Aah pretty simple then. Yeah, I have nandroid backups. In fact I supplied the contents of the reset ROM in question in this thread. My main stumbling block was downloading a reset ROM as htc1guru was down the last couple times I thought about doing this.

ok i will send build base zip
@deeevan & @yatindroid.
I'm away from my computer until Friday so can't upload my aroma reset to stock until then.
I never uploaded it coz I haven't had a chance to test it ( deeevan understands why) as 6.11.980.12 is still the latest OTA for Optus Australia, and that's the version my reset will take you back to.
When I get home I'll post a link on the Aussie m7 thread and I'll pm the link to you as well yatindroid in case u need to pass on to others. @deeevan below is the link (go back a page or two,) where @alray walks me through how to make your own aroma reset. All u need is a RUU/OTA of what version u wanna go back to, any old aroma reset .zip and @alray s detailed instructions and your set.

Sorry for resurrecting an old zombie thread, but after a few days of searching the forums and multiple flashes and resetting of my phone (HTC One m7, Australia Vodafone), this has been the thread closest to my own issue. Like OP Poster acnak, I am trying to reset my phone to stock using Guru Reset (guru_reset_m7_2-24-980-2.zip) and while it works, when it goes to install an OTA when it reboots it gets stick in a boot loop.
I have looked for a more recent reset but can't find one. Can someone point me in the direction of one, or give pointers on how to make one myself from one of the ota I have downloaded... or something equally as easy but obscure that I haven't found it yet.

You can't use that guru reset rom to restore your phone, its way to old, your phone is running the 7.21.980.22 firmware so you would need a 7.21.980.2 or 7.21.980.22 guru reset rom and unfortunately there are no guru reset roms for 7.xx.xxx.x version. You can't make a guru reset rom from an ota update. ota updates are only patches, not the entire system and even if it would be possible to do it, you would have the same problem since the reset rom wouldn't match your firmware version.
Simply flash the 7.21.980.22 RUU using instructions from here
This will reset your phone back to 100% stock.

Many thanks on the link and info. I followed the instructions but got the following fail message
Code:
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAIL12 signature verify fail
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
From my understanding this means there are issues with my bootloader version which is 1.61.0000. Is there anyway to change this, or an alternative file that corresponds with my hboot version?
