[Q] HTC One, tampered, unlocked, S-ON, no OS, device not foun on laptop. Cluster****.

Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.

Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

yes window 8 will be a problem till you get another hboot above 1.44/1.54

great your about done ...your phone will be android 4.3 when it finishes
don't take any updates to the OS

cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!
Really, thanks so much clsA! You made me a very happy person! :victory:

[Q] HTC One bricked

So I was messing around with ROMs for my HTC one and I have destroyed my phone ;(
I think I forgot to update firmware before installing a new ROM and now I can't get past the fastboot page. It doesn't power on, it goes directly to the fastboot page, and no matter what button I push, it vibrates, shows the "HTC Screen " for about 2 seconds, then re-directs straight back to the fastboot page, I can't even get in to the recovery, any suggestions?

What OS do you have on your pc. If Windows, what is the phone listed as in device manager. It should be "MY HTC" If its Unknown you need to fix your drivers.
Maybe its a problem with adb itself, What exactly is the problem. Any error messages?

got adb to work

Download the correct ruu for your device, check that the mid's and Cid's match.
There's a lot of guides that tell you how to flash ruu's

Ok so your device is Sprint. Since its been some time like this it could be difficult to figure out exactly what went wrong so it is best to start by returning the device to stock with and ruu. You should be able to use this one
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
Download and unzip it you should get a windows .exe file.
Reboot your device to the bootloader and connect your usb cable. The phone should be in fastboot usb mode. In the command window type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Wait for it to reboot and go back to fastboot usb then run the ARU.exe. It will return your device to stock.
If you get problems running the ruu let me know. It may be necessary to flash a firmware package to get it to run, but we'll cross that bridge if we come to it :good:

First of all, thank you so much for all your help on this, means a lot.
Now, I did the fastboot commands, but the ruu program freezes whenever I run it after it starts sending the updates

Do you have HTCSync installed. If so uninstall it but leave drivers installed. Reboot and run the RUU again

Nope, no HTCSync installed

also, fastboot works but adb doesn't which is weird

It depends how your using adb. Fastboot works only in the bootloader.
Adb works only in recovery mode.
As I suspected you'll need to flash the firmware before the ruu will run. Give me a moment link and instructions to follow . If the bootloader is still relocked leave it that way. It needs to be relocked to flash the firmware also.
Edit:-
Download this firmware zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Rename it "firmware.zip"
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
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
with the phone still in the bootloader connected with fastboot usb run the RUU exe on your pc.
After that your software will be completely stock. You should also be able to update with OTA updates Let me know how that goes :good:

dont think that's the right link, thats the link to the RUU

Sorry I'm not sure how to make that work, I have no first hand experiance with Sprint devices. I know there designed to use a CDMA network. And that they can be used on a GSM Network but I've no idea how to get that to work.
Hopefully someone will come along who does. Maybe @clsA @alray or @nkk71 can help with that?

Look for a RUU. They also have the RUU for the new lollipop version that was recently released. After u run the RUU u should be completely stock *note it will delete everything so you will be ready to sell. Locking the hboot if unlocked will be up to u and the other person.

Can anyone confirm that I just need to flash this in fastboot?

Hey jpwhre! I made a thread a couple days ago and was following a tip on flashing the RUU. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one/help/gifted-one-broken-help-t3049802
Then I saw this thread and your reply. Thank you for the step by step guide!
I'm running into issues though with the last step from flashing the RUU.exe update utility. The flash keeps freezing at "Updating (1/6) sending..." I was stuck there for over an hour and decided to pull the plug. I redid all your step, but instead of using the RUU.exe, I downloaded the encrypted RUU rom.zip and tried to flash via flashboot cmd promt. That ALSO failed with a "signature verify fail." What am I doing wrong? I'm *LOCKED* and S-ON.

Stuck on Hboot: freeze when selecting fastboot/recovery/reset

Hi,
Today my htc one got stuck in a boot loop. now it just freezes on the white startup screen. So i figured I try to factory reset. But when I enter Hboot and select factory reset the phone just freezes up.
I then tried recovery and fastboot options but the same thing happens: the phone just freezes up.
I have not rooted my phone. It is stock ROM and the bootloader is still locked. I also dont know if usb debugging is on, I dont thiks it is.
Also my computer does not recognize my phone. I installed HTC sync for the drivers (I have windows 8 if that matters)
I also installed "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" in order to try to unluck the bootloader but since I cant access fastboot and because my computer doesn't recognize the phone I am not able to do this.
Please help me... I really don't want to buy another phone just yet.
What is my next step?

I'm here ask help exactly for the same problem.
But differently mine can be detected by the computer. The problem caused by flashed a RUU not completely. The bootloader is relocked by myself. Others is just the same as your discription.
Is there anyone could help us?

Think your only choice is to reflash ruu again. However best that you post output of "fastboot getvar all" so that others can help. Need to be sure of firmware and os versions to get the right ruu.

You need to get the computer connecting to do anything. Suggest you uninstall htcsync but leave the drivers installed. Try a different usb port and cable.
Need to be able to post outbut of "fastboot getvar all" to get help.

My HTC One M7 is Hongkong CHT edition.
This is the PIC took before flashed RUU.
http :fs1.d-h.st/view/iCnH/00197/1.png
I've tried the "Unbrick project BETA" from the forum and flashed bcb recovery to my device, but neither worked.
Finally I decided to flash an official RUU to my M7.
First I relocked it. Then I flashed the RUU "PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_7.18.708.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.29_10.33R.1718.01L_release_420559_signed.zip" from the RUU collection thread.
But in the process of flashing RUU I suddenly kicked off the power of my desktop PC !!!
Now it has became like this.:crying:
h ttp :fs1.d-h.st/view/vQn3/00197/2.png
It is totally bricked! It will only boot into fastboot and cannot do any further action except "power down". Other will just make the phone hang. Fastboot mode can be detect by computer. The htc_fastboot command "oem rebootRUU" "reboot" "reboot-bootloader" and "getvar all" will also make the phone hang. Now I can't even make the phone get into RUU mode! However I can boot into hboot with volume- and power button.

New Nexus 6 stuck in a bootloop trying to update to 5.1, please help.

Hey everyone I'm looking here as my last resort before sending my phone back to Motorola.
Bought a Nexus 6 from motorola uk which was delivered yesterday, switched phone on and all the Google apps on the phone updated, then had a notification OTA to download and install android 5.1 which I did, towards the end of the install process I had an error with the green android and a red exclamation mark.
I powered the device off with the power button and it turned back on and ever since it says "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" once it goes through all the apps it gets to the android boot screen then just goes back to the "Android is starting" "Optimizing app 1 of 125" over and over and over. (Infinite bootloop)
Pointers: The phone is not unlocked or rooted as I'm a noob its just fresh out the box, also I never opened/unlocked the developer options.
I have tried various recovery mode fixes, wiping cache and wiping all data and then rebooting the device with no luck.
Is there anyway I can hook my N6 up to my computer and fix this with a tool kit etc? I'm willing to try but I'd need basic instructions and reassurance it wouldn't muck up my warranty if it didn't work as my only other option is to exchange for a new device.
Any help, advice etc would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

Read the guide on how to fastboot flash a factory image. No toolkit necessary.

Would you mind posting a link to a guide? I forgot to add that I don't want my phone to become rooted by trying to fix this issue, I want to keep it stock like it was, also does not have developer options enabled stop me from going further.
Sorry for the questions I'm a noob to this and quite anxious.

If you connect the phone to the pc is it recognised in bootloader mode? Do you have adb installed onyour pc?

All foreign language to me what your saying, trying my best to self learn right now. I'm downloading the adroid SDK and extracting the files, really want to sort this myself. Any pointers to getting into bootloader mode? And adb on the PC?

Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 for easy adb installation. Read this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481.
To get into bootloader mode power down the device and after that press volume down + power. Here`s a guide to setup the sdk/adb http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/.

I've made the fastboot adb folder on my PC and attached my phone whilst it was in bootloader mode, I types in the command box adb devices and there is no list of attached devices.
I presume this is because I didn't enable developer options or USB debugging?

When in bootloader mode type : fastboot devices
-Edit- just read that your bootloade is still locked so i`am afraid there is nothing you can do to fix the issue as you cannot flash firmware with a locked bootloader. Best is to claim warranty because of a software issue while updating.

Thought this would be the case, I went into adb fastboot and typed in fastboot devices and its showing some letters and numbers next to fastboot on screen if that helps.
In the future I presume I should make sure to enable developer options first so I can get out if this mess?
Also would it be best when I get my new n6 just to sideload the latest update marsmellow by getting the factory image from the Google website? Last question can I skip from 5.0 straight to 6.0 sideloading or do I have tobdo it one at a time?
Thanks for trying to help matey

Next time enable usb debugging and ENABLE OEM UNLOCK, both in developer options. You can flash the latest firmware available directly in fastboot by flashing the individual img files.
Here is a link to setup adb/platform-tools https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=...orial/&usg=AFQjCNGolazOWoMssTikMpokJ6TtwEND5A.

It says this on my Nexus 6 phone screen.
Unlock bootloader?
If you unlock the bootloader, you will be able to install custom operating system on this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset".)
Press the volume up/down buttons to select yes or no. Then press power button to continue.
Yes (Unlock bootloader, may void warranty)
No. ( Do not unlock bootloader and restart phone)
