I wanted to change my rom on my HTC One. I first fastbooted a new recovery img TWRP.
On the TWRP recovery screen, I decided to wipe all of my data on my phone out with the advanced settings of wipe on TWRP..I still don't why I did that. The data isn't the problem however, I then decided to go back to Clockwork recovery and use adb to push a stock rom to fix my problem.
However after flashing the Stock rom onto my phone, the phone is stuck on the boot loading screen. My HTC One is S-On so I used a special rom that works for S-On HTC One phones. However the stock rom doesn't seem to work.
I'm stuck here not knowing on what to do next. I've tried everything...different roms etc.
Any Ideas?

oh dear, got yourself into a bit of a mess there.
first thing is to get your phone back to the bootloader, so hold down the power button and the volume down together, DO NOT LET GO, the lights on the bottom will flash 10-15 times, when they stop flashing, release the power button only, continue to hold down the volume down, it will now enter the bootloader.
Post your fastboot getvar all please, WITHOUT IMEI & SERIAL NUMBER.
also, please provide some links to the special :fingers-crossed: stock rom you flashed ? all rom's for your model work, s-on or s-off.

ok, guru reset works fine, recovery is the problem, you need to use twrp 2.6.3.3, push the zip again and install, select wipe data, install stock recovery and install stock radio.
also check the MD5 and file size before pushing the zip, the site has some issues with the files at the moment.
however, once you have done that, you have a good HBOOT there, so if you want s-off on your phone, now is the time to do it after you've got that guru reset installed, before any OTA's, try rumrunner to get s-off.

i flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3
however i can't adb the rom
C:\AndroidSDK>adb sideload Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
when i used Clockwork i used
adb usb
adb push filename.zip /sdcard/obb
which put the file onto the sdcard and i was able to flash the zip file
however this doesn't work with TWRP because it doesn't show me the obb file on the SD card and just comes up blank.

from the main screen only inside TWRP recovery, no sub menus, you seem quite experienced, but obviously the zip must be inside your adb and fastboot folder, it will appear unresponsive, takes about 5 mins to push, but your cmd window will let you know when its done.
Code:
adb push Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip /sdcard/

same problem is still occurring, I've installed the new zip file with TWRP, I wiped, rooted and installed radio etc. Still stuck on the HTC one loading screen.
I've check the MD5 and it matched however instead of 1.11GB as stated on the site its 1.12GB with the file being 1,176,264. I don't know if that means anything.

I had hoped you would say something like __ minutes, because i don't know how long "same amount of time" actually is.
When I do a clean install of a 4.4 ROM, it takes close to 20 minutes for it to boot up properly, but when I just reboot the phone, it's done in less than 2 minutes.... so i don't know which one of those would be the "same amount of time".

when i boot up the phone it takes 30 seconds for it to go on the HTC one beats audio screen, then it hangs there. However I've never left it for more than 5 minutes as I have never experienced any phone taking that long to load. I'll leave it on this time for 30 minutes and see if that is any change

small recommendation: reflash the ROM first (including wipe), then let it boot up, if you check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
you'll see my personal opinion about bootup time (and other things)
This is very strange as ive used that guru-reset file myself, and its never taken much longer than 5 to 10 mins to boot, however, if its getting past the splash screen, then onto the boot screen, then its defiantly doing something, usually a boot loop is a phone stuck at the splash screen or a restart whilst booting.
it's been 20 minutes and it's still on the boot screen, so not sure what to do next. if this helps at all, I was tyring to download Android HD then i found out you needed S-Off, by then Android HD ruined my old rom so I used guru reset which worked. I then was going to do the S-Off procedure. This is when i went on TWRP and wiped all of my settings by mistake...still don't know how I did that. So i know it's not the file but my phone

Once you're past the bootsplash, it should be OK, but "5 minutes" has become a relative term.... It's usually the 4.4+ ROMs that take a lot longer to load than the previous ones, but I have seen someone post "I waited 10 minutes" and the two posts were 3 minutes apart (after he waited it worked fine)... so a little exaggeration about the close to 20 minutes is just trying to encourage a little patience

iirc only GPE ROMs need S-Off, all the others should be fine; make sure you're using a recovery (and ROM) meant for m7_u / ul

This may sound crazy, but when you flash the guru reset file, and booting it, your phone needs to be unplugged from the computer, I only discovered this problem myself a few days ago, I couldn't figure out why it was stuck on the splash screen, pulled the usb cable and it fired straight up (try this first before below comment)
Download this one mate, it will work fine, again use twrp 2.6.3.3 I know there are newer versions on the TeamWin site, but this version is proven to be the most compatible with roms, this rom is stock looks and stock features, you should get S-OFF easily with it using rumrunner, and once your S-OFF, you can just use an RUU to get to fully stock if that's what you want.
again, download the zip and just push it to your sdcard and install

Hi all,
I have been googling my life away trying to find a proper solution to this but no luck so I am turning to you all. My brother in law wanted to add some mods and tweaks to his T-mobile HTC One (M7). So we came across Xposed and we followed the instructions to install Xposed v.2.14:
"Download and install this APK - DOWNLOAD
Executed Xposed Installer from your launcher and click 'Install / Update'
Download this zip file and copy to your internal SD card - DOWNLOAD
Install the downloaded zip from your custom recovery"
We followed those instructions and installed the zip using TWRP. Upon "swiping to install" on TWRP the phone rebooted and then went all the way until the HTC One screen. We left it there for a few minutes before concluding that it was frozen. We tried to hard reset (Power+Vol-Down) but all that did was make the soft buttons flash. After some googling we were able to get to the recovery screen by holding Power while near a bright light.
From there we had encountered a problem similar to this in the past and fixed it by locking the bootloader and then unlocking again. So we did that and rebooted but the screen still froze at the same spot.
So now we are stuck with a HTC One with a locked bootloader that is freezing on the HTC One screen. Any help pretty pretty please??
Thank you so much! Sorry this is so long!
Just reboot a couple of times, it can take a while the first time. But I wonder why you did all these weird things, installing from twrp whereas the apk just works fine, relocking/unlocking is completely unnecessary, EVER, it just factory resets your device and just holding the power for 10s or little more is enough to force reboot...

We only installed from TWRP because the instructions posted on the forum said to do so. Every time we reboot it gets stuck on the HTC One screen. After that, the only way to get away from that screen is by holding the power button near a bright light.

When you install xposed you should also have a second zip in the root directory of sdcard called Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
Got to recovery and install that zip. It should disable xposed so as long as you're efforts to fix it haven't caused any additional problems your phone should boot up ok.

Hi Guys,
Hope that anyone can help me with the following:
I normally have Openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7 running on my M7.
However, with the new software update of 5.11.1540.9 pushed out, I normally go back to original recover, then update my software by downloading it an installing on the phone.
A couple of months ago I changed my version, originally an ATT phone, to I think a European or WWE version. I am not sure anymore.
Anyway, when I try to flash the original recovery ecovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img back and reboot in to recovery I get a black screen and eventually a phone icon with exclamation mark.
After holding the power button for a while, I can reboot and get back in the phone or restore TWRP.
My question is, does anyone know how to get the original recovery working again so that I can run the update.
This is the info of the bootloader:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.57.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4T.27.3218.14
(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0712000
(bootloader) cidnum: 111111111
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4263mV

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-e47fb74b
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
I rather do not wipe the whole device if I don't have to. Before I changed the firmware to European or WWE I was able to restore the original bootloader at leisure. So I think it would be best to go back to the correct country firmware, or find a recovery file that does work with my current firmware.
If I can install the latest Developer Edition ROM with TWRP, and have to wipe, that is fine. I don't want to risk bricking my phone with doing all kind of updates. Have done so many and it is still working, would hope to keep it that way
Any help appreciated.
I thought all you needed to do was re-lock the bootloader, then run the correct RUU file for your phone.
I do not remember having to flash back to stock recovery when I ran RUU for the latest update - I just relocked the bootloader. After the RUU is run, you will be back on stock recovery

Well, last time it worked for me when I had the Dev edition. My phone was unlocked with S-On, and I had TWRP for recovery.
I remember receiving the OTA, installing it and then seeing the message in TWRP that it couldn't install.
I then set the Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img for recovery and I was able to install the OTA.
After that I went back to TWRP.
Couple of months ago I set my CID to 11111111 and S-off and I installed, I believe a european version or a WWE version (not sure anymore what i did ) to get a radio that might unlock 4G here in Australia (which failed cause of hardware restrictions of bands).
Anyway, my phone works fine and I received the OTA but I can't repeat the back to stock recovery trick cause after flashing the Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img it doesnt enter recovery. Probably something to do with my WWE or Euro firmware?
What does relock mean in this case.
I also am at loss at what the correct RUU is. Is RUU firmware, or a whole complete ROM?
Can you see from my bootloader info what version I have and should consider?
I am just a bit confused with all the terms and was quite into it a couple of months ago, but now its a blur.
You don't need relock boot loader
When you boot in recovery got exclamation mark press volume up for4-5 sec then press power upto home back light blinks leave power button you got recovery with blue options
from HTC One

Well I tried your suggestion but it doesnt work. After I hold the power button when seeing the exclamation mark, the phone finally reboots. It tried to install the OTA this way, but it doesnt work.
I think the current recovery:Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img doesnt match my current firmware of something like that.
Any other suggestions?
Can I just install a fresh ROM with the latest version, not sure where to get it from.
Not really sure what to do, I tried another recovery but after choosing to install the OTA, and reboot, I see progress bar which ends up in red triangle.
Tried to lock bootloader but then of course I can go back to standard recovery using TWRP.
I just tried to install again and when progress bar appeared I hit volume up and then power button. Now I see status updates of the installation.
If fails while verifying the current system:
"/system/lib/libcryptox.so" has unexpected contents
Installation aborted.

Not really sure what to do, I tried another recovery but after choosing to install the OTA, and reboot, I see progress bar which ends up in red triangle.

from HTC One
Hello guys,
I have a weird problem that happened not to my phone but a friend of mine... I'll try to make the details as good as possible but it may be different since I did not own the phone, but as I said, a friend did.
She says it was Sense6.0 4.4.2 and that one day the phone booted, showed the HTC logo like 3 times (between bootloop) and it went down (power off), so she charged it for like 1 days but it didn't turn the display on... Now, it had pattern lock so getting adb to work was a complete PITA but we figured that the phone wasn't dead when we tried to call her and she swept the screen to answer and she did, so, after a lot of pain, we managed to unlock it blindly and accept the recogniztion so we could have adb...
Now, we rebooted into fastboot, unlocked bootloader (which wiped the system to factory reset) and installed a custom kernel/recovery (via fastboot)
The phone has 1.57 HBOOT and I understand firewater works, but here is the major problem: I don't have access to Wireless because I cant see a damn thing so were screwed there... 3G connection doesn't work at all and I go and ping and it says failed...
ALTHOUGH I tried rumrunner (before I knew HBOOT was 1.57) and somehow it rebooted and the screen turned on so I figured the screen wasnt dead, but as soon as it finished booting, the screen went off again forever...
The phone has CID: HTC__332 (Latin American variant) so I cant find a suitable RUU so I can flash without S-OFF
I am really screwed but maybe anyone here with some experience can shed a light here and save an M7
PD: I have working adb and fastboot but just through command line

So does the screen come on when the phone is booted to the bootloader and recovery?
Can you post fastboot getvar all?
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Post the output here but remove imei and serial numbers before posting.

It does sound like a dead LCD to me. Weird how it came on once while running rumrunner though. Try powering off the device then hold a it under a bright light hold power on + volume down for 90+ seconds. Maybe a fault with proximity sensor.
There is no ruu you can use while s-on and I can't even find a firmware you can try to flash. So if that doesn't work I don't know what else to try

Holding the device under a bright light seems to power on the device SOMETIMES with the HTC logo visible and then it gets past that (with a little backlight movement meanwhile -dimmer- or -brighter-) and then back to desktop with no light
Is there any way to disable the proximity sensor or maybe flash a custom ROM via adb commands to flash it into recovery inside OS (TWRP 2.8.1.0 right now) or something?

Well that's promising. You can push a Rom with adb but you need the recovery menu to install it which may prove difficult if you can't see it.
To push the Rom put it in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip. connect the usb with the phone for adb and type in the command window
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes.
You may be better to use TWRP 2.6.3.3 to avoid install problems. Remember to
Code:
fastboot erase cache
when you flash a new recovery.
And keep using the bright light power on trick. May be give the sensors a clean (top left of the phone).

I know my ways to push files via ADB, but I am saying like SuperSU does when it asks if you want to update it via TWRP option where it reboots directly to recovery and flashes a zip without you doing anything
I could push many files via ADB, but I couldn't flash them correctly (and I don't want to screw this phone) without seeing the screen

Flash twrp 2.6.3.3 newer versions of twrp can be temperamental and probably why your having trouble flashing roms

Try the bright light trick again but this time power off the device. Hold the sensors close to the light
Hold volume up and down +power for 60 secs the phone will bootloop while your holding the buttons. Hopefully that will be enough to reset the sensor. :fingers-crossed:

So I have been an absolute fool, broken every rule that xda set out + tried to root my phone + commit all sorts of shindiggery over a period of months. After various roms, fails, bootloops + catastrophes we arrive at the present day. My phone will randomly say; press the power button to restart in 3, 2,1... then just turns off, bootloops over and over until I somehow get the right power click + it loads correctly. Its continuously doing this, I have since got it to a stable point (it has been on + working for about 2 hours this morning). But I havent fixed anything so I assume the problem is still there.
I also have noticed, if I try and add files, like music and stuff, to my phone from my computer, they wont move across. It glitches out and says the device is no longer recognised.
Another interesting point, I believe I have both clockwork mod and twrp installed, which confuses me because I thought you only needed one.
At the moment my phone (HTC one M7) has these attributes:
Android - 4.2.2
Kernel - [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version: 4A 17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L
Build number: 2.24.771.3 CL211355 release keys.
Can someone please help, im in big doo doos!

Ok well looks like your on H3G but just so I know exactly what I'm dealing with here can you post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Please remove your imei and serial numbers before posting.
And try to confirm which recovery you have. It's not possible to have CWM and TWRP recovery. Ideally you want TWRP though.

I will have to wait till tomorrow, to use a windows comp, nor sure how to do it on mac.
Also when I do put my phone into recovery, it is the clockworkmod recovery I have, although Ive definitely had TWRP before...
thanks for offer of help aswell

Ok cool, thanks. So first we are gonna need twrp recovery. Download it here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
Put the Image file in your fastboot folder and flash recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now we are going to need to format the device. If you have any files on the device you want to save use MTP in TWRP to copy them to your pc. Select recovery from the bootloader menu to load TWRP.
When your happy you have everything you want to keep backed up, Select "Wipe" from the TWRP menu then " Format Data" you will be prompted to type yes to confirm. When it's done Select "Reboot" then Reboot Recovery.
You will see a message "No OS Installed" reboot anyway and say no when twrp asks if you want to install root. :good:
Ok so now you have a clean formatted device lets install a new Rom. For clarity sake we'll start with the stock Rom.
Download this http://settlecruise.org/Dovo?q=Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.771.3.zip
Using MTP in recovery again copy the Rom to your internal storage. And install it with TWRP. During the install choose these options
Code:
Stock Radio = Yes
Stock Recovery = No
Root = No
When the install is done Reboot the phone. It may stick at the HTC boot splash screen for 15 mins+ as this is a complete clean install.
Let me know how that goes :good: any questions just ask
Okay, so I did what you said, up until 'now we are going to need to format the device . If you have any files on the device you want to save use MTP in TWRP to copy them to your pc. Select recovery from the bootloader menu to load TWRP.'.
After I flashed the new recovery image?, erased cache and rebooted the bootloader. something weird happened though, it took me to a weird menu cant remember the options but recovery wasnt offered. Then I clicked bootloader, it then offered me recovery, clicked that, it started going into recovery but then my phone immediately turned off and started bootlooping again.
Managed to get it to turn on, then rebooted into recovery. Recovery started, TWRP logo up + and it started flashing something i guess, but then it turned off again + started bootlooping.
Then when I turned it on again, all my files were gone + i had to go through all the set up stuff again.
Not sure where to go from here

Ok that doesn't sound right at all. Seems like something is really messed up.
I'm a little confused about were the device is at now though. You say you had to complete the first time use setup so the Rom did boot?
But your still not able to get into recovery?
Hi, sorry I get confused with all the terminology. The issues i was having yesterday have seemed to resolve themselves ,I tried it again and it worked up until putting the Guru_reset+.zip.dmg file on my phone. I use MTP, it comes up on my computer as 'One' with a folder called TWRP in it, when I put the the .zip.dmg file on it I cant find it on the phone?!
I am looking in internal storage, sdcard, TWRP, have selected view Zips + I still cant see it..
Unsure what to do now.
Okay, worked it out, for some reason it was downloading it with .dmg on the end, so it wasnt working as a zip, I changed the file name but then it doesnt flash properly . I get to the 'swipe to confirm flash' page and it reboots instantly to the TWRP logo then back into recovery... not sure what to do now

it should have only a .zip extension. Did you download it from the link I posted? I just checked the link it seems to be bad
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-771-3-zip/ or use a previous copy of you have one. But it should be named guru_reset_m7_2-24-771-3.zip if your sure the file is ok try deleting the .dmg from the file name :good:

Hi Danny,
Oh dear, its since gone from bad to worse. I have a definite hardware issue, at least im 90% certain. Now Im gonna have to send it off for repairs, but I wont be quoted until the engineers have it + its gonna come to at least 30 quid.
They know I've tampered with the phone + opened the bootloader, so warranty doesnt cover it. Is there anyway to reset this, to hide to 3/HTC that ive accessed the forbidden fruit + messed my phone up?
Thanks,
George

How bad is it? Do you still have a functioning Rom?
You can return it to stock so it looks Untampered but you will need s-off to do it. And to get s-off you need a functioning Rom.

Sorry for the wait my weekend was very busy. So the device no longer powers on (no sign of life) or is bootlooping on boot screen?
It does seem like maybe there is a hardware issue here, sorry if I already asked this but Do you have warranty? Maybe return to stock and send it for repair. It will need to boot to a somewhat stable Rom to get s-off though.
Sorry i know this has been done a million times before but i cant seem to find anything that helps in my particular situation already. ill explain a bit what happened first exactly, my phone recently crapped itself and i sent it to the carrier for repair, they gave me a refurbished one that is faulty (gets really hot after about 20 min of use and restarts itself). anyways after a big headache of trying to send it back which is not really important here, i gave up and decided since i dont care enough about this phone to pay to fix it i can try and root it and hopefully install a rom that might keep the cpu cool and not reset so often (not sure if possible but it seemed harmless to try). anyways i unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM and not sure why but when i restarted the phone itll start up fine as if the first tiem you ever use the phone but you couldnt do anything after the set up. it just links to some site and you cant move at all or click anything its stuck. so i thought id install a ROM and hopefully fix it (decided on Maximus HD) im pretty sure i downloaded from here too so hopefully legit and now i cant even get into the menu at all. it gets stuck on the HTC boot logo unless i get into the bootloader which i still thankfully can and also into recovery. anyways i flashed TWRP just now in the hopes i can get an option in that to fix it that CWM doesnt have but still cant find anything and lot of the stuff i tried picking said "unable to flash s:" or somethng like that. same thing since isntalling TWRP though if i try restarting phone just to get into menu it hangs on the HTC logo screen i can only get into bootloader/recovery mode. what can i do? I still have s-on if thats relevant (probably that was the problem to begin with?)

s-on is nothing to do with it, as long as your bootloader is unlocked, that's enough to flash custom roms.
TWRP is required to flash custom sense based roms, which version of TWRP depend on which rom you are trying to flash, so Lollipop based sense roms require TWRP 2.8.6.0, whereas the later ones require TWRP 2.6.3.3
after flash recovery, be sure to erase the cache and reboot the bootloader before trying to enter recovery, this clears anything that the previous recovery may of left behind, reboot bootloader is basically for changes to take effect, so your commands should look like this:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
when you enter recovery, personally in your situation, I would go into wipe, and select the format data button, this will wipe everything off your phone including the internal storage, so be sure to backup anything you need first, you can do this with the adb pull /sdcard/0 command from the recovery main screen. once the format is complete, reboot back into recovery again, and adb push or copy a rom to your internal storage, be sure to unplug your phone now and then flash it, also be sure to select full wipe during the installation.
you can only really use lollipop based custom roms if you are on lollipop firmware, people on lower firmware are reporting problems like no wifi, Bluetooth etc, so it would be helpful if you post your fastboot getvar all without your imei and serial number.
how do i get that? and i am using twrp 2.8.6.0.

well you know how to use fastboot commands, so with the phone booted in the bootloader and fastbootUSB showing on the screen and plugged into the computer the command is fastboot getvar all post the output here without imei and serial number.

First step go into TWRP / Wipe / Advanced / Format Data ... type yes
when it's done go to Reboot / Recovery
now download and install this Rom >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602541
during install choose Wipe system
the phone will take almost 10 min to boot ..wait on it and be patient
I'm trying to copy the zip file onto the phone but even though the computer reads it it says "cannot copy device has either stopped working or been removed".

Great !!
Spoke a bit too soon used it for a bit now it still resets I guess that's a hardware problem for sure now though and not much I can do about it unless I take it to a pro.
