So I have had an HTC One m7 for about a year now, but I got a warranty replacement in the mail because the mic broke. I've been trying to unlock and S-off the new phone, but I can't seem to be able to do it. I have tried using the rumrunner S-Off, but I get an error. I've tried flashing TWRP, but whenever I try to flash the recovery, I get an error that says "<remote: signature verify fail>" when it checks the signature. I've tried flashing CWM instead of TWRP, reinstalling drivers and everything, but nothing works. The phone is the Verizon version of the m7 running Android 4.4.2 with Sense 6. Is there any way to get this to work?
Also, when I plug the phone into the computer it always comes up with the "installing device drivers" popup, and then will usually fail installing the Mass Storage and MTP drives because it says the phone was unplugged, even though it wasn't

Looks like you are trying to flash the recovery with a locked bootloader...

How do I unlock the bootloader then? All the tutorials I can find just say to use something like rumrunner or just say to flash the recovery

Suggest you try the Verizon HTC One Forum, they are more familiar with your phone.

You need s-off to unlock the bootloader, (because verizon phones cant be unlocked from htcdev.com). Try any other method described in the verizon forum, i.e firewater s-off. You can't flash the recovery with a locked bootloader.

Hi,
Little problem in here. I've got tried to update IncS but something went wrong and I'm here.
Phone after boot goes straight into the bootloader like in pic.
Is there any solution to make it live?

A little problem here; you did not give us enough information on what exactly you were doing to your IncS.
It appears you may have been trying to run the S-Off downgrade procedure or you simply tried to run and flash an older RUU?
At this point my suggestion would be to go to HTCDEV.com and download the last and final ICS RUU for the IncS and use that to get your phone back to a working state.
tried to s-off and failed
Device is't not recognized after boot into bootloader by RUU
is there is needed any drivers or sth?

When you ran the Gingerbread RUU to achieve S-OFF, I assume there was an error code of some sort (ex. Error 131 or 170 or something). Can you please tell us which error code it was?
In the meantime, please download the latest and must recent ICS update from HTCDEV.com as tpbklake advised. I'm sure you need a phone to use.

Ok, if you tried to S-Off, then you missed the very first step. Since you have hoot version 2.02.0002, the first thing you must do it UNLOCK the boot loader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com.
Since your HBOOT screen shows a LOCKED status, that means you didn't even do that step. Otherwise your HBOOT status would show either UNLOCKED or RELOCKED.
If you follow the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com you will end up with all of the correct drivers you need.
Unlock bootloader procedure is stuck on the selecting yes/no in the phone. I can't select yes... "no" option goes ok, "yes" - cant accept.
When pressing the power burton few moments; phone vibrates only.
Any1 got this problem?

When you select yes/no did u use the hardware keys because it should work.
everythig is ok, I can switch between yes/no without aby problem but only no is able to be accepted. Then it's rebooting and stuck on bootloader again.
Is there any difference about the PC? Maby I should try with other computer? os?
Actually i'm working on Asus laptop with Win7 64bit

Make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 3.0 port.
I've tried with other PC, this time on WinXP, the same result. The only thing I can't do is selecting YES when phone asking about unlock bootloader.
I've no idea what to do..

When trying to update RUU, windows says "Device not recognized" after rebooting to bootloader. Any idea what's wrong?
---
And one more question. Is there any difference if I choose other region of IncS? I mean WWE or Asia or Hutchison? Maby there is the problem with accepting bootloader unlock?

No that wouldn't make a difference because the unlock token that your phone generated is what is used to generate the unlock.bin file, not the region you picked.
The device not recognized usually indicates a driver problem. Did up install the HTC drivers on the XP machine?
Finally, maybe the reason you cannot select YES is because the unlock.bin that was generated with a bad unlock token.
You might want to try and regenerate the unlock token and get a new unlock.bin.
In device manager phone detected as My HTC. New unlock code gives same result as old one.
Is it a brick?

Ok, do you have the HTC Sync app running on your PC? If so, uninstall the app, but leave the HTC drivers installed.
Also you never did say whether you we're using an official HTC USB cable or not.
You are not bricked. You can always download the official ICS RUU/ROM from HTCDEV.com and use that to get your phone operational again.
I know but how to do that with that phone?
I've got Desire HD also and there is no problem with detecting it in adb. IncS - not.
Tried also to create goldcard and update with PG32IMG.zip form latest RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_TWM_TW_4.10.921.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266252_signed and gets stuck like on the pic then reboot.

So does it always hang trying to update the radio? Is this what happens when you tried to run the RUU or does it not get this far?
When trying to update RUU the program stops on the bootloader reboot, then nothing happened. Connection Error (171)

Are you the original owner of this phone? If not, where did you purchase it and was it operational before you attempted to S-Off?
Yes, it's my old contract phone... and it worked before as well.
I've read about xtc clip. Will it work to unlock bootloader.

No, not since you now have HBOOT version 2.02.0002.
The XTC Clip only worked on the IncS with HBOOT 1.09 and below.

I had one more thing your could try when you attempt to run the unlock.bin.
Once the screen comes up where you try to select YES, have you tried disconnecting the USB cable to see if that would allow ou to select YES?
Ok, thanks for help anyway.
---edit
not helping.

Problem solved. I've just formatted HDD and installed fresh Win7 then RUU program worked smooth as well. Now phone runs new ICS.
I don't know what caused that issue but I'm happy that finally phone started.

Go to htcdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader again. This will root the device. After that find one of the guides on here to flash a custom recover y and then flash a ROM

Where are you seeing that error? In the command prompt box?
i'm having trouble flashing the new viperone 3.5 ROM. I flash it and get stuck at the HTC screen, any help would be nice.
I seek the advice of the masters here, or really anyone who can answer, lol. ATT converted to Dev Edition, 4.4, S-Off, stock recovery, bootloader relocked to run the 4.3 Brightstar RUU. Okay, tried to use stock recovery to change radio back to the 4.3, gives error remote not allowed. Tried to sideload it, not happening either. Figured I need unlocked bootloader, which makes no sense since I am S-Off. Tried to use my .bin file to unlock again, nope, says it doesn't match. That's fine, well, not really, but I can re-run to get another one, but, am I missing something here? Do I need to re-unlock bootloader to change the radio, and do I have to do it with CWM, or TWRP instead of stock?
Well, it sure does require unlocked bootloader so that you can flash a radio zip using a custom recovery. Once I did that it worked fine, still can't figure out why I had to get another unlock code though, that is just strange. Anyhow, mod can close thread, I figured it out.

FYI yes this is normal, you always need a new unlock code when your bootloader is locked again. Don't forget you can easily unlock bootloader without htcdev when you are s-off.

lock/unlock with s-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
Hi,
My device is currently S-Off. I don't have root anymore and I relocked my bootloader. I'd like to be able to remove the test device message but all the links I found requires to have root or to go back to S-On. I tried using HTC DEV to unlock my bootloader again to flash custom recovery and then to flash supersu.zip but it didn't unlock my bootloader. I also tried to just do a fastboot boot customrecovery.img and also didn't work. Any idea if with S-Off, bootloacker relocked, no root access, I can removed the HTC test device message?
thanks

Check out this thread on unlocking your bootloader without HTCDev. If you are able to do that, then you should be able to flash a custom recovery. You can use the Guru Bootloader Reset tool to remove the tampered sign and I think the test device will go away.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was referring to but I can't run that since I don't have root access. If there could be a temporary way of getting root access with a locked bootloader and s-off, that could probably work to use what's being said in your link
1) Which is the best recovery? C-Mod or TWRP or any other, i mean i want that to support maximum number of stable roms and that is widely used by developers. Can you suggest me a link?
AND
2) For any rooting procedure you first have to S-Off, then unlock the bootloader, root, then install a recovery and flash a ROM..........right?
AND
3) How to be S-Off and rooted and have Locked as a message on the bootloader?

if you're still looking for this, root access is available in custom recovery (so no need to mess with the ROM), and with s-off you can flashed a masked firmware using ruu mode:

I have a verizon htc one m7, and I unlocked the bootloader and s-offed using sunshine. I flashed a rom to make it a google play edition and when it loaded, nothing works. Recovery mode is a black screen that says google and has a small lock at the bottom.

What are you trying to flash exactly? From fastboot you can only flash RUU/firmware (in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" mode) and recovery using "fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img"
because it says I don't have root permissions.

Doesn't make sense at all
fastboot never ask/need root permission. Root is ROM related and the ROM isn't even booted at this point so how could it be possible?
Looks like you are not understanding correctly some concept here, better to read a little more or ask your question here
