Total Noob - need to install generic HTC software - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I currently have an HTC One M7 with Tmobile UK firmware and I am fed up waiting for update to KitKat and Sense 6. I understand that this is the correct place to ask a question on how to change the software so that it will take HTC official updates rather than tmob approved updates.
From what I have read I need to s-off with firewater first and flash a recovery. Is that correct? Does anyone have step by step instructions on what to do please as I do not want to brick my phone? I would like to install the "normal" HTC software and receive updates from HTC rather than wait for tmobile.
Thanks

No, I have downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip though, is this the correct thing?

easiest way is to download and install this, you need to run as administrator for it to work:

once installed, reboot your phone to fastboot mode, basically restart it and whilst its shutting down hold down the volume down button, you will enter the bootloader, plug it into the computer and select fastboot on the phone screen, if its not already there, its should now say fastboot usb.
Open a command window in the fastboot and adb window you have just installed on your computer, (control + shift + right mouse click on any white area in that folder, open command window here)
The type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
post the output here minus imei and serial number

Thanks, I have installed that and a DOS window has popped up and after entering the command it says "Waiting for device". Do I need to boot the phone pressing volume down to get this to work as I am currently on my "normal" boot i.e. what it looks like when phone is powered on.

perfect :good:
Right your on hboot 1.55 s-off should be easy, boot back to android, type fastboot reboot in the command window (if you've not already rebooted that is)
use either rumrunner to s-off http://rumrunner.us/
or
Firewater to s-off http://firewater-soff.com/
Do not update before getting s-off, follow the instructions on each of the sites to use the tools, rumrunner is the easiest, just download the package, extract it and run the file, firewater is a little more complicated.
once done, report back here, there will only be 2 more steps to do after that, but keep adb and fastboot on your computer, do not remove them.

Many thanks, I am getting an error though

ahh ok try firewater temp root method, its the 3rd method down, you will have to download 2 files and put them in the same folder as fastboot and adb, where you open the dos window from, the whole thing is run from the dos window, so just copy and paste the commands one at a time as listed on the page.
ahh do you have USB debugging enabled on your rom ?

Thanks, it is attempting to acquire root just now. Will update when complete.

Thanks, I have temproot and s-off now.

excellent, now that you have s-off, you have to be very careful, if you flash the wrong thing, where the phone will stop you and tell you its wrong with some sort of error with s-on, it wont anymore, it will expect that you know what you are doing and still flash it, if its wrong it will brick.
---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
so fist all, if your phone is booted into android still, open a dos window again inside the fastboot / adb folder as before and again, type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
once there, make sure to says fastboot USB on the phone screen.
then be very careful with this one, CID is ALWAYS 8 characters long, bear that in mind with the next command, so the next command is 2 underscores not one inbetween the HTC and the 001. always capital letters, take note of your current cid though, you will need it for warranty purposes.
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
when complete:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------
Its should now say this on your screen or something close to it:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF ??
CID-HTC__001
HBOOT-?????????
RADIO-??????????
OpenDSP-?????????
OS??????????
etc etc etc, can you confirm please ?

[Q] Help Restoring my HTC ONE back to stock.

I bought a used htc one for at&t and it was running 4.1.2. So I tried OTA and it downloaded the s/w, installed it and upon reboot - went straight to something called teamwin recovery (?) screen. I have to chose reboot button to boot the phone back. So I realized it was rooted and am very new to this whole root thing. I wanted to ota upgrade so I googled and stumbled on the following link with too many other links. Since the following link seemed easy, I tried following:
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...actory-settings-for-warranty-repairs-0149204/
But at the step 4 I get the following:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

Can somebody please help me with the steps to get back to stock. I apologize if this was already covered in one of the many articles. Thanks.

this should be simple ..do you have a windows PC ? if so what OS version if windows 7 continue, if windows 8.1 just gather the files below and post your answer.
Download this >> http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
and unzip the fastboot.zip below to your desktop
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
from the fastboot folder you just made do shift+right click / command prompt here. now in the command window paste this
fastboot oem lock
you just relocked the bootloader ...now run the RUU file you downloaded above and your phone will be back to Stock.
Thank you very much for the quick reply.
I already downloaded the RUU RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.12_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_318450_signed_2 as mentioned in the previous link. Should I not use that instead use the one provided by you above?
Just wanted to make sure the steps:
- enable usb debugging on phone
- connect my phone to usb of my windows 7 (with the phone powered on or powered off?)
- from windows 7 command prompt " fastboot oem lock "
- run the RUU file
Please confirm.

1.26.502.12 is over a year old
flash the one i posted for you it's android 4.3
connect phone to usb when in the bootloader / fastboot usb
Thanks again
I am downloading the RUU.
Do I have to follow the below to do the fastboot?
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...restore-back-locked-one-screen-acting-up.html
Reboot your phone to bootloader (power+volume down) and choose fastboot. Plug in your phone and it will change to fastboot USB. Open a command prompt within the fastboot folder and type the following:
fastboot oem lock
The same link I pasted above says to use fastboot oem relock if it is s-on?
"fastboot oem lock" only works if your device is S-OFF and I am assuming yours isn't which is why it didn't work.
Can you please confirm?

Thanks. I was able to install the RUU you have provided. But the problem is, the camera is all PINK now. It was taking wonderful pictures before but now it's all PINK/PURPLE now. Is there a way I can fix it?

I am still not able to OTA upgrade to kitkat after 48hrs. The bootloader now says relocked. Can I simply enter into fastboot and use the following RUU to get Kitkat?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276
Thanks.
My phone is currently running 4.3 with bootloader in 'relocked' state. I am still not getting the OTA update to 4.4 and all my attempts to RUU update to 4.4 fails with htc_fastboot.exe has stopped working error. I will continue to do some more research to get there as the camera is useless in 4.3 at this point. Thanks for all your help and we can close this thread.
Fastboot oem lock only relocks the bootloader. You would have been better downloading and flashing revone to s off and LOCK the bootloader
Can you post a fastboot getvar all please removing imei and serial no?

[Q][H] HTC one Bricked? Wrong recovery image?

Hi All,
I just unlocked the bootloader on my m7 (at&t) and I was following this two guides http://www.android.gs/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-for-the-htc-one/ and http://www.androidegis.com/how-to/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-for-htc-one/ for installing TWRP.
I downloaded the file which is pointed in both tutorials from http://d-h.st/3ST and copied boot.img as indicated to fastboot folder and then ran "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" fom the CMD console. I rebooted the phone, selected recovery and it's stuck in Entering recovery. I guess boot.img is not the correct image.
I also noticed a flag "Tampered" on the top of the boot loader.
Hope you can help me, many thanks in advance,
Nicolas
Edit: It's not rooted, it was the next step to do.
Edit2: I tried once again holding the power button + VolumeUP and the phone is back to life. I wonder if the .img that I loaded is not the correct one. Could you advise and tell me what are the next steps to follow now?
Cheers

Download this file http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img and rename it recovery.img and place it in your fastboot folder. Boot the phone to the bootloader and connect fastbootusb
Then in the command window type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then try entering recovery again.

The MTP driver is not required by fastboot, does your device show as My HTC in device manger.
Are you sure you have your command prompt using your fastboot folder as the working folder?

Try a different cable if you've got one or a different usb port. also make sure your bootloader is in "fastbootusb" mode and not "hboot" mode.

Successfully loaded. I am able to boot into recovery now. Phone rooted.
Multiple things happened here:
1) Drivers issues
2) The cable I initially used two unlock the bootloader isn't working anymore with fastboot.
Edit: should I set S-ON to OFF?

Nice to know you got it sorted. :good:
It's always better to be s-off, but I would spend some time getting to know the device first.
If you flash something wrong with s-off, you could brick your phone.

[Q] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Unresponsive

Hello,
I while ago I decided to root my HTC to get some extra stuff. I used a guide on youtube that seemed to be reasonably well made and followed everystep of the process. But before I could root it I had to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I got the latest version and proceeded to the next step, where I encountered my problem. After flashing the recovery everything seemed to be well except that my phone wasn't actually rooted. I decided to redo some of the last steps. This is where things get a bit tricky. I have done this quite a while ago (maybe 3-4 months) and don't exactly remember the steps that I repeated but I think I've also flashed TWRP a second time, as well as some other steps. And when it came to the part where I needed to use the recovery I found out that the recovery doesn't work. I can't press anything on the screen, I can however press the lock button and lock the device but when the *slide to unlock* appears it stops working again. I was running out of time and decided to leave it for another time but time has passed and I never really got the time to tinker with it any more since university started and I'm more busy then ever. This has left me with no ability to root or even update my phone.
This brings me to today, when I restored my phone completely forgetting what has happened. It got back to Android 4.1 and I can't do anything about it.
I hope to sort this out and finally root the phone. But even getting rid of TWRP to the original recovery so I could just update my phone would be very helpfull.
Thank you very much.

I don't know what adb is, sorry. And no I don't, I had to do everything on my friend's laptop because it didn't seem to work on my machine (W8.1 compared to his W7).
Edit. But I do have acces to it pretty much all the time.

you can flash twrp 2.6.3.3
download the file and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot
then open the command prompt and with the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
What do you want to achieve then? Custom rooted rom? stock rooted rom (latest version)? or you simply what to root the rom you currently have?

Windows 8.1 x64 ADB Drivers?

I have installed HTC BMP USB Driver v1.0.5375 and HTC Drivers v4.5.0.001. I also have Android SDK and Google USB Drivers. And I have installed these drivers from this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799&highlight=driver+win7
So my fastboot works just fine. fastboot devices command returns my serial number. The problem is adb just not working.

It's booted in the hboot fastboot usb. I need it to be in bootloader to lock my bootloader. I'm going to return my device for warranty.

you can't use ADB from the bootloader hence why there is no output when doing "adb devices".
ADB can only be used from a booted os with usb debug enabled or from a custom recovery
in bootloader mode, you can only use FASTBOOT

so "adb reboot-bootloader" bring you back in recovery? strange, I thought "adb reboot bootloader" should bring the phone back in bootloader mode where only FASTBOOT can be used.
"adb reboot recovery" will reboot the phone in recovery mode.

adb devices
in recovery mode use:
adb devices
in bootloader mode use:

No it brought back me to fastboot usb, I manually entered the recovery. And it didn't work there. I have Ubuntu 14.4 on VirtualBox. Adb works in recovery there but only this time the code that is required to lock the bootloader does not work. Gives an error. I don't know what to do in here.

Deleted OS//No Drivers//OTG Don't work

Hello.
I wanted to flash CM12.1 to friends One(M7) but while flashing I have some kind of error.
I removed OS .. there is just TWRP 2.5.0.0 which seems don't recognize OTG USB.
Drivers for ADB or Fastboot while I'm in bootloader seems don't work I have windows 10 and only 3.0 USB Ports.
So now is there TWRP without nothing and I don't know what to do.. I have only 2 days for fix it.
//EDIT// It was unlocked and rooted so I just wanted to flash ROM like in others phones but like I'm reading more and more forums with HTC it's quite difficult and I'm not sure if everything is as it should be. Whats is S-ON/OFF?? What is RUU and how I know if "my" One is the right for which I can flash ROM. (But theses questions aren't important)
I see lot of theard with same problem but I can't find any real solution. I hope someone help me :fingers-crossed:

Hard to suggest much without knowing specifics of the phone but I think we are a long way from assuming the emmc is corrupt.
Try this link to get your drivers working, then give us the output of "fastboot getvar all"

if ur device can bootloader it's means u can repair emmc maybe
I have experienced 0gb on my EMMC , but can bootloader ,it can repair EMMC with emmcblkp.zip , but I forgot his link
sory for bad in english
1-the rom did not flashed because you are using the wrong recovery version. You need at least 2.7.1.1 to flash Cyanogenmod roms (assuming your phone is a M7_UL variant)
2- Since you are using such an old recovery, it would make sense to me that it was flashed on the phone back in 2013 so maybe the phone never got any Ota updates and the hboot version is still 1.44? If yes you won't be able to get fastboot connectivity using Win8/10, only with win7/linux/OSx. That might be the problem.
3-can you write down all the information you see when in bootloader, with this we should at least be able to confirm what I said above

There is nothing pointing to a bad emmc for now. He is at step 1 (getting the phone detected) and you are talking about a "possible" step 20.... Not saying you're wrong but it's way too early to assume a bad emmc

One more thought on this phone. Did you also wipe the data partition? If not are you sure that the person that originally installed twrp didn't leave a nandroid backup on the device. Have you looked under restore in twrp? LIkely too simple but worth a shot!!
Yes you are absolutelly right!

Windows 7 in a virtualbox won't work afaik. Better to use a live Ubuntu usb/cd, setup adb and fastboot then you'll be able to update your twrp recovery and flash the rom. Also worth to post a "fastboot getvar all" at the same time. Maybe we could update the firmware easily (depending what the getvar all returns) and fix that connectivity problem at the same time.

Btw here is the reference for the minimum recovery requirement to flash CM:
TWRP recoveries with version greater than or equal to 2.7.0.8 support this fstab change.* If you have a favorite recovery maintainer, encourage them to incorporate "block: by-name" support into their recovery kernels!
Official 2.7.1.0 for m4, m7, m7spr/m7wls, and m7vzw/m7wlv mistakenly did not include the necessary fstab support, so 2.7.1.1 was released for these devices, addressing the issue.
More recent unofficial builds of TWRP can be found at android.cmphys.com. You'll find source code for all these devices linked there as well.

So what I have to do now is
Connect phone to PC with Ubuntu then write in terminal "fastboot getvar all" and then write here again? Or Just "fastboot flash recovery.img"
Well ... I'm at Ubuntu and when we try "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then just waiting for devices .. need i some kind of fastboot drivers for ubuntu or what?
We tried download some kind of" # sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot "

I'll copy/paste from the guide linked above the step you need only:
(1) a copy of 32bit Ubuntu. NOT 64!! http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
(2) no need to install-boot into it as if trying it (IMAGE 3)
(4) drivers NOT needed
I know others have had zero issues but some of us have had nothing but nightmares. This is who I'm sharing this for.
I hope it helps... Even just one!
Have fun all!
IF BY CHANCE YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH ADB OR FASTBOOT IN UBUNTU SEEING YOUR DEVICE, TYPE sudo BEFORE YOUR COMMANDS. IT WANTS PERMISSION TO ACCEPT YOUR COMMANDS. WHEN YOU TYPE sudo THEN YOUR PASSWORD YOU ARE GRANTING THOSE PERMISSIONS. SOMETIMES THE ISSUE WON'T APPEAR TIL YOU GET INTO FASTBOOT. SO CHECK FIRST BY TYPING IN adb devices WHEN YOU FIRST OPEN THE TERMINAL. IF YOU GET A SERIAL NUMBER YOU SHOULD BE FINE. AFTER YOU GET INTO BOOTLOADER, TYPE fastboot devices IF YOU GET A "no permission" ERROR THEN YOU NEED TO TYPE sudo BEFORE all INSTRUCTIONS. SOME VERSIONS OF LINUX HAVE AN SU TERMINAL. THAT WOULD BE THE BEST TO USE AS IT REQUIRES ROOT/PERMISSION TO EVEN START AND WILL MAINTAIN THOSE PERMISSIONS THROUGHOUT.
UBUNTU STEPS.....
Image 3- Boot into Ubuntu
Image 7- Open Terminal in Ubuntu (Top left gear like symbol, click it and a search bar will appear, start typing terminal, it will appear below the bar, just select it)
Image 8- You need to install adb fastboot these are the instructions you need to type in the terminal you just opened. Type one line at a time and press enter after each. Allow Ubuntu to do it's stuff.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Image 9-12 Shows how the terminal should look as it finds, downloads and install the appropriate files.
Image 13- After the downloads are finish you can check to make sure things were installed correctly. Type “adb” and your screen should look like this
Image 14- Type “fastboot” and this is the information that should appear.
Image 15- To make sure your device is seen type “fastboot devices” and it should show devices with a serial number.
then you can use "fastboot getvar all' and "fastboot flash recovery <file_name>.img"
We made all this now .. fastboot devices command not show nothing just new line which is waiting for command and when we try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then <waiting for device>
we still dont have drivers or what?

You don't need drivers on linux. Is the phone booted in bootloader and in the fastboot menu? You should see "fastboot usb" in red when in the correct mode to use fastboot commands.

are you using the original usb cable? some cheap cable are only providing power but no data connection. I also just have noticed from your first post that you are using usb 3.0. You have to use a 2.0 port to avoid problems. you should have "fastboot usb" in red when there is a connection as opposed to "fastboot" only if there is none.
bootib there before or after doesnt matter
@alray We are trying it with different PC which have Ubuntu and also Kali Linux as dualboot.
Have only 2.0USB Ports..
I will try different cable.... Nope .. Still only fastboot without USB
My OnePllus One with same cable find but this HTC no :/
