Hi.
I've been trying to follow instructions from several threads about restoring an M7 to un-rooted, relocked, stock O2 ROM.
Things have gone badly from the start and I've tried so many different people's posts about what I should do that I'm completely confused now and need some help getting back on track.
At the moment all I've got is a hboot screen with fastboot working (unable to boot into recovery)
The last thing I did before this all went bed was to use 'fastboot oem relock' (which worked) I've tried 'fastboot oem unlock' but that says '[ERR] Command error !!!'.
I've tried flashing a stock rom.zip extracted from an O2 RUU but it fails with the code 'FAILED (remote: 22 loading zip info fail Please check if you flash part)'.
This is the 'getvar all' result.

remove your imei and serial number from your output above, its dangerous to post them.
according to your hboot which is 1.57 you wont beable to use that ruu, you cant back flash unless you have s-off.
also, only way to unlock your bootloader is at HTC dev again, you cant use a command to do it, so start there.

Thanks for the tip (oops) So is that the first step I need to do, unlock the bootloader again? Just checking before I go ahead. Thanks.
Update...
I went to the HTCDev site to unlock again (I know I'm impatient but I'm running out of time to get this done) but it didn't work. This is what the site reported back:-
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

yes that's the first step, then you need to decide if you want to go s-off and flash that original rom of yours, or go unbranded, or just flash a custom recovery and a custom rom.
---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------
in fact, thinking about it, you will have to go with custom rom and recovery as you need a rom on your phone to go s-off.

strange, that's the only way your going to be able to unlock your bootloader, and unfortunately, there's nothing you can do with a relocked bootloader, can you post your token here so I can look over it.

that's very strange, just tried mine and it worked, tried yours and I got the same messages as you, but they are the same length etc.
Is this how you unlocked your bootloader before ? do you still have your original token anywhere ?

This is how I unlocked it originally. I don't have the token but I do have the email they send afterwards with the bin file attached. Shall I try and use that again?

Okay, that worked! (Phew). I now have an unlocked bootloader again.
So to get from my custom ROM, custom recovery and 'unlocked/tampered' state back to a stock rom/recovery and locked bootloader......what order do I have to do things? I know this is a big ask but I don't want to end up in a muddle again! Thanks.

if you have a working rom on there now then you will have to get s-off to do everything you want to do.
Try firewater first: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
if that fails then you will have to use sunshine, but you do have to pay for that: http://theroot.ninja/
out of interest, which rom are you running at the moment ?

did this - cmd said that daemon was not running and started it but then nothing...no command prompt, phone doing nothing...eventually I closed the window. Now ADB wont recongnise the phone!

The stock O2 RUU was from HTC1guru.com (I think) I had to dig around quite a lot to find it. If I find the address I'll post it here.

try this version of adb and fastboot instead, sounds like its out of date and also check your device manager, make sure it says MyHTC when your phone is plugged in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

It looks like you typed adb reboot <–important!!!! the <-important!!! should not have been typed. It is just a comment. You will notice on the firewater page it is bold where the rest of the type is not.

Don't worry, I didn't type the important! bit
I'm not sure how much more time I want to spend trying to reset this device, maybe I'll just return it to O2 as it is and see if they even care that it's been unlocked!
I'll try the link you suggested and report back :tired:
Hi.
I think my guardian angel must have had a hand in this because I was only trying to reset the phone to return it due to the microphone not working. After all of these failed attempts I factory reset the current rom and bingo! Microphone working again and no need to return to O2
But thanks for all of the help you offered, I would have a lot less hair and more wrinkles without you.

Hey guys need ur help with going back to stock.Essentially I flashed the stock ruu and locked the bootloader and toggled my device from S-OFF to S-ON but i forgot to flash the stock recovery after rooting my phone using TWRP. Now my device is S-ON with bootloader locked and with custom recovery.I tried to use revone-0.2.1 to S-OFF and then unlock my bootloader but after few tries it says successful but when i checked the bootloader it shows S-ON and tampered.I even used firewater thta was also unsuccessful so please i need urgent help.
P.S My phone is still rooted.
You don't need to soff to flash stock recovery. You need unlocked bootloader. Unlock it using aio kit and you can flash stock recovery after that. You cannot flash recovery with a locked bootloader.
Sent from my All Metal HTC One.
Android 4.4.2 - Sense 6.0
well i tried using revone's option of unlocking bootloader shows error code -1
Hboot is 1.44
and if ur talking about using the unlock bin code i need stock recovery for that.Can someone provide me a signed stock recovery as i tried to flash a recovery from ruu but it shows signature verification failure.

well I couldn't find signed ruu, OTA, or signed firmware for your version, so best to start over from the beginning (unlock, s-off, etc), and do it again.

the RUU already has stock recovery, so why would you have TWRP there?
EDIT: if you have the recovery.img, maybe make a TWRP flashable zip and install it using twrp. Don't know if that works though.

tried firewater not working asking to start the process again saying nasty chaser , then tried revone it reports success but when i check the bootloader it says s-on i just don't know what to do.
What happens when you choose recovery from bootloader?
finally success took a leap of faith used unlock token from htc and it worked yay.
Thanks to all the people who advised me and helped me troubleshoot.
can i run the ruu after i lock bootloader and return to s-on ???
also wanted to ask this
first i should get rid of tampered and lock my bootloader
then i should flash the ruu and them i should go S-on
right ?

Reboot into fastboot mode.
Hold Power + Volume Down until, select Fastboot.
Run this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
We can then get the CID/Model and Fastboot version so you can use an RUU to recover the device.

you can use that RUU to restore your phone: http://www.htc1guru.com/2014/03/att-ruu/
with s-on you must have a locked or re-locked bootloader use it.
and btw, remove imei and serialno from your above post.

ok, also make sure to check that the MD5 value of your downloaded file will match the value given on the website.
should be: 5f121d72b8fa3f6f1704588467752605
you can use winMd5 program to check the value.

you can unlock again the same way you did the first time, using the unlock_code.bin you have received from htcdev.com. if the unlock code you already have doesnt work anymore, request a new unlock code by submitting you identifier token again.

I was more or less asking for your preference.
Your phone has partitions of memory which hold data, and when you update or install a custom ROM, the recovery utility mounts the partitions so they can be accessed to write and read data. Android does this every-time you turn on your phone. Formatting a partition doesn't delete it, it simply removes everything. CyanogenMod incorporated "block by name" mounting. Which basically makes it easier to mount partitions without being device specific.
Try this version of TWRP: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img
Anything above 2.7.1.1 should work, anything below will not.
For ClockWorkMod anything above 6.0.4.8 will work.
So my M7 started heating up, chewing battery. Everything was fine with the first L update, but after the second one, something went wrong.
Now, I don't really want to do a factory reset - if I don't have to. And to be honest, it never helped with these random battery/cpu hogs in Android.
So!
- Could anyone link me the latest KitKat RUU? OR whatever I have to flash/install?
- The warranty is now gone for the phone, so I also want to root. How should I root? Via HTCDev? Sunshine?
If I can install KitKat somehow without losing files, I would just Sunshine - would save me tons of work (restore).
Thanks!
Ps.: I am not lazy, and I really tried to find the answers - but compared to how easy to flash an LG or Samsung, HTC looks like a spacecraft.
Seriously, while the two other have simple firmware files, and a simple app to flash, HTC got RUU, different unlocks, different firmwares, etc.
* I also thought about switching it to GPE, but honestly, 5.1 is not any better.
And it's the last update for the M7... it's a dead end anyhow.
KitKat will serve this phone perfectly fine for +1-2 years.

RUU will wipe everything
Flashing a rom requires an unlocked bootloader, unlocking the bootloader wipes everything.
So you will lose your files, backup first.
Sorry for the noob question, command issued while in normal mode through ADB?
Or in fastboot through ADB?

adb commands are/can only be used when booted in the OS with usb debug turned on or from a custom recovery no matter if usb debug is turned on or off.

Since that your phone is s-on you can not use a RUU to downgrade, you will have to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and finally flash a 4.4 rom. You'll will not be able to downgrade the firmware with S-ON, you can only change your rom.
to unlock the bootloader go at www.htcdev.com/bootloader and follow the instructions
once done flash a custom recovery, preferably TWRP 2.8.6.0:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
boot in recovery and transfer the rom zip file you want to flash to your phone storage.
in twrp select "install" and flash your rom.

I tried changing my HTC One M8_WHL PVT SHIP S-OFF into developer edition using the guide on http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...edition-for-super-fast-sense-updates-0156524/ . I successfully changed the MID and the CID without breaking a sweat. After, I used TWRP to restore the backup which the guide instructed me to download and restore. After restoring that backup, device could only boot HBOOT. Now I tried running the RUU.exe for Developer Edition and I get the error which asks that I run the correct RUU for the device. Now, the device doesn't boot pass HBOOT
What I can do ...
1. Boot into TWRP recovery
2. Give fastboot commands with HBOOT
3. Boot into RUU via fastboot
What I can't do ...
1. Boot the device
2. Revert the MID change to its original state cos I will need to run ADB Shell to do that, which cannot be done from HBOOT
3. No RUU.exe is responding to flashing the device
The specific help I need ...
1. Be able to Change MID using Fastboot so I can run a SPRINT RUU

Your M8 must be a GSM model, like AT&T, T-Mobile, and most international variants.

Have you tried running the command to change the MID while booted to twrp?
As I have been using my GSM SIM in it, it didn't occur to me that it could be any different from a GSM Model. When I bought it, it came with S-Off and CID 11111111, though the bootloader was locked (like any other locked HBOOT from factory, not relocked).

You said in your first post you could not revert your MID because you can't run adb shell... adb works in recovery...it's worth a shot.
Try changing your CID to SuperCID then try the Sprint RUU.

Phone is back alive! Wheew!
Hey guys, so recently I purchased a htc one m7 (sprint) off of ebay. I planned to fix it because it was listed as in a bootloop. I thought this would be easy to fix, but I have run into some trouble. The phone does not boot, it just sits on the htc screen. Phone is currently s-on. I have full access to fastboot, but thats it. I feel like I have looked everywhere for a solution, but nothing has worked for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Things I have tried:
1. factory reseting from bootloader menu.
2. entering recovery mode through bootloader menu. (goes back into bootloop, assuming recovery is corrupted)
3. unlocking the bootloader with htcdev, but after selecting yes on the popup menu on the phone to unlock, it just goes back into a bootloop, stays locked.
4. flashing twrp (fails due to locked bootloader)
5. using a RUU.exe to flash back to stock (bootloop, gets hung up on "waiting for bootloader..". If i manually put it back into fastboot I get a connection error)
6. using a RUU.zip and flashing through fastboot, but the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" command throws it back into a bootloop. Tried flashing without rebootRUU and got a verification error.
So, any ideas or is this thing bricked? Thanks.
Are you trying to run the RUU while already in fastboot, or are you trying to let the exe boot to fastboot for you? I'm assuming that you are running the RUU from fastboot, and the rebootRUU from the exe is looping you again?
Have you tried flashing the stock recovery?
Have you tried fastboot erase cache? (probably won't help in your situation, but why not?)
Those are some things you could try.
I am having this thread moved to the M7 Q&A forum. You'll have a good chance there of someone providing the steps you need to take to get yourself fixed up.
I suggest that you post the results of fastboot getvar all (minus you IMEI/MEID and serial# of course) so we have a better understanding of your firmware version and such.
Good luck!
yeah, im running the exe while in fastboot, and the rebootRUU loops me. I havent flashed stock recovery. will that allow me to flash anything to get this working? and i did try to wipe cache from fastboot.
so I tried flashing the stock recovery, and got a signature verification error.

What is the current status of the bootloader? Locked or Relocked?
Can you please provide a link to the RUU your trying to flash.
If your using an RUU.exe then you don't need to use the Reboot RUU command. Just connect the device in fastboot usb mode and run the RUU. The RUU will boot to RUU mode for you :good:

I asked @coal686 about this, and he thinks it is probablya hardware problem. If so, you'll have to take it to a shop for repairs.
But there is a possibility that the previous owner wiped /system in fastboot. Highly unlikely, but fastboot erase system would cause something similar, I would imagine. Without knowing what the previous owner did to get it into this state makes it hard to narrow down.
Is there any chance you could contact the previous owner and ask what it is exactly before the phone pooched out? Let him know that there is nothing to hide now that you are the new OWNER of the phone.

well I would ask them, but the seller is a cell phone repair shop, so im guessing that somebody couldn't get it fixed, so they sold it to this shop, and the people probably don't have a clue what's wrong with it. I wont be worth it to try and repair it cuz it only cost me 30 bucks. It seems that the only solution here would be a RUU, but that aint working so I guess im stuck here.

Unfortunately I think it is a lost cause . If the bootloader is not stable then it's almost certainly a hardware problem.
Even if it was some low level software issue without a stable bootloader there is no way to flash anything to the device.
Maybe sell it on eBay as Spares to try get something back from it.

Firewater is discontinued and doesn't work anymore, Revone S-OFF is for hboot 1.44 only, OP's phone is on 1.61. Achieving S-OFF requires a booting phone, exactly what the OP doesn't have. And BTW there a much newer RUU he could use than the one you have posted above that wouldn't requires S-OFF.
