Hey guys,
Long time lurker and only been doing the whole rom thing since I bought my HTC One last year.
I've been happy and enjoyed the phone.
Through a drunken stupor last night I made some mistakes and need to get the phone back in action.
I don't believe that what I've done to it has bricked it.
However, it is currently inoperable.
I'll try and break down exactly what happened and what I've done in the past few days that have caused this mess.
Thanks for your patience and understanding and most of all help up front, it's much appreciated.
So here we go!
I've been running an antiquated version of Viper ROM for the majority of the last year.
At this point I'm not even sure the exact release, though I believe it to be 5.6 or 5.7...
Having said that I went and updated finally and was able to successfully flash 6.20, and the OTA that followed.
My phone was running fantastic at that point and was super happy at the new features, etc.
Silly me, I had to believe that USB Fast Charge was not only a privilege but a necessity.
In my hazy recollection of mishaps I went ahead and tried to boot into recovery and flash ElementalX .17 on top of Viper.
Flashed with v2.6.3.3 of TWRP and things went smoothly or so I thought.
After successfully flashing upon booting I was hit with a black screen and only the capacitive buttons being lit.
In my rage and frustration I tried several things and it wouldn't boot.
Stuck in a loop.
So I did the stupid mistake up restoring a super old back up on my phone...
On top of that I messed around and thought I could some how bring it back to the dead.
It was my original Viper installation from all that time ago and this time there was absolutely no connection to WIFI.
The 6.20 version had been cleaned off the phone and now I'm sitting here at TWRP v2.6.3.3 wondering what to do next.
ADB is responsive, but drag and dropping files into the HTC One on my Windows Explorer has proven unsuccessful.
I'm going to post my basic related stuff below.
Let me know if any type of picture upload or what not will help in the process.
Thanks for being there XDA!!!

Please post a fastboot getvar all (except imei and serialno). That way we can take a look and see if there is a RUU available, that will reset you back to stock.

Turn phone completely off. Then press and hold the PWR button + Vol Down button, it should boot into bootloader. Select Fastboot the screen should change to FASTBOOT USB, now try the commands.

Can't get the phone booted to get the MID and CID - really wish that I had copied down my fastboot getvar all information before all this happened.
I'm on ATT though.

Ouch, maybe I did brick it after all.
I'm doing as much research as possible from my end.
Thanks for being patient with me.
Hopefully I haven't bricked this thing.

Here is an AT&T RUU 4.18.502.7. In order to run it you will need to lock your bootloader with the command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Are you using Win 8.1? If so, fastboot will not work with a hboot 1.44. You need Win 7 or Ubuntu/Linux. You can run Ubuntu on a USB FAQ Q#5 and you would not have to install it on your computer.

If you use Ubuntu, you just need it to lock the bootloader. You will need go back to Win 8.1 to run the RUU.exe. Ubuntu can not run .exe files.

This is a long shot, but run the RUU anyway. It should fail but it might reset some things to allow the PC to recognize the phone.

How can I get the RUU on the phone though since it's unresponsive.
Do I need to push it somehow, or sideload...
What would be the best method to approach doing that?

With the phone connected to the PC. Double click the RUU file. It will start and walk you through the process. Some people have found that the file should be in the adb folder.

Device is recognized again - went ahead and dragged and dropped Viper Rom 6.0 onto it.
Right now it's flashing it and looks to be working smoothly thus far.
Fingers crossed!
You have been a gentlemen and a scholar for helping me through this.
I really do appreciate it man - you have been really great.
Much <3!
*PS*
6.20 Viper Rom in the house, huzzah...
This is a dream come true!
Now in the future I need to be more careful to keep this from happening again, hahaha.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I tip my hat to you sir...

hey guys,
thanks for the post and the info. I am hoping I can get some help. I recently upgraded to a new ATT - HTC Vivid. I guess I was impatient in wanting to root and flash ROM so I used the [TOOL] HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.2 to "un-lock bootloader" and get root. Afterwards I realized the phone had/has old software/rom (no ICS beats audio etc) - I tried updating the software manually and it would not take - kept getting error messege. Then I got notification that ATT/HTC was trying to "push" the update to my phone but when I tried to install the update it would not work. I keep getting what looks like a dead android with chest open with red exclamation point. I tried a few times and still nothing. so after some research I came across this thread. I am still a "noob" at this I guess so I could really use some help, please. I believe I have to "re-lock bootlaoder" but I am confused as to how to go about this. for example, how do you, "TRY FLASHING THE WCXRECOVERY.IMG USING FASTBOOT FIRST?" - please help! lol like I said - I'm still a noob I guess
I tried the video but it only further confused me

please help!!!! I really need it. I tried using your tutorial to re-lock my Vivid and update ROM to ICS. I got through the first part where I re-locked the phone ut when I got to the part to "unlock" again before flashing recovery I get the "Unlock bootloader" screen and I use volume button to select yes and hit power button but that's it - it's stuck at that scree and will not go further. now my phone won't start normally if I try etc and I even got a red exclamation etc - Please help, I dont know what I did wrong but now I have no phone!!!!!
Thanks a bunch for any and all help
This should probably be in the General forum, not development...
If you pull your battery, then put it back in, then hold VOLDOWN button and the POWER button, do you get into Bootloader mode?
If you can, choose Fastboot mode, and then connect your phone to the PC. (I'm assuming you have the right driver(s) installed so you can issue Fastboot commands to the phone?)
If you've gotten that far, and want to re-lock your bootloader using fastboot, the fastboot command is:
"fastboot oem lock"
Run that in a command prompt window. Make sure you have navigated to the folder that has fastboot.exe, of course. Are you familiar with using command prompt?
Once your bootloader is relocked, you can re-start your phone into bootloader mode, and then flash your stock carrier's RUU using your PC... I hope this helps.

thanks a bunch!!! I'm still a "noob" I guess and I will re-post in General. In the meantime, I can get into Bootloader mode but I am already "Relocked" - from what I understand at this point I was supposed to "Unlock" again and flash recovery using "unlock bin" but at the unlock bootloader screen on my phone after I select yes and press power button nothing happens. my phone freezes at that ponit. I dont know what to do now. any help is greatly appreciated.

I wonder (since you are already re-locked), if you should consider flashing your phones stock RUU (so the phone will be back to stock).
Then unlock your bootloader via HTCDEV again...
Then you can flash a custom recovery, then you can do a nandroid backup of your phone... then you can do your wipes and install a rom?
thanks again for responding, much appreciated. I wish I knew how to flash back to stock. I'm at a loss or stuck right now.I just found the stock RUU and I'm trying to download it but once I get it how do I flash it back to stock? That is actually what Ive been trying to do. You see I recently upgraded to the Vivid and "unlocked bootloader" and "rooted" before I realized I had old software (no ICS - beats audio etc). So after some research I read that I had to "re-lock" so that is what I was trying to do before I got stuck. what do you think I should do fromhere? I'd really like to at least get my phone working again with stock even, just working.
thanks again,
Rafael

OK. So since you are relocked, you should be able to flash your stock RUU.
The RUU is an EXE file. Just run it on your PC (with your phone, in fastboot mode, connected to the PC). It will detect the phone and perform the flashes and when it's finished, your phone will be like stock again.
Yeah...just use ruu like you would any other pc program...it will walk you through the steps in the program...
As for beats...I had beats audio on stock gingerbread? Confused why you don't...I only had gingerbread for a couple days before upgrading but I remember seeing the beats icon in notification...

I tried what you said and I got an error message (error 104) and it would not update/flash the ROM. I am stuck.
and when my phone restarted I ended up with the red exclamation point in a triangle again. any more ideas? I hope I did not "brick" my phone.

What is the exact file name of the RUU you are using?
Also, when your phone was working, what was the stock base that it had? Was it Gingerbread? or ICS?
From a quick google search, it seems Error 104 is "wrong hboot version". Interesting... I remember mine said that when I was trying to flash the old GB on my phone which had already been upgraded to ICS.

I tried the old ATT RUU without ICS which is what I had originally and it did not take. I got an error message (error 104). I also did not have beats audio surprisingly enough when I first got the phone which is how I realized I did not have the new/current ATT ROM ICS.

We really need a mod to move this to the "Q&A" section...
Anyways assuming your on completely stock gingerbread you can call this number *#*#682#*#* that will do a force update...vant be root tho, and can't have an unlocked bootloader
Edit...discard this post just read above about the red exclamation mark...can you still get to hboot? If you can...can you verify that it says "re-locked" at the top?

All that you need to do it boot n hboot then select fast boot and when you plug it in the pc it should say USB next to fast boot then just run the ruu file and it should hook you up with stock ics

Can you still get into hboot ? I wouldn't unplug the phone while its doing stuff I had that issue and just stopped the program and tried again , it takes some time to finish approximately 10 min so just let it do its thing . Just fyi

The exclamation marks are a failed ruu...try running the ruu again...it should still work (I think) if not then try pulling the battery and trying again...
Yeah...next time do not pull the plug, I'm sure its still saveable tho..I've had failed ruu flashes before and it mentions something about exclamation marks in the corners, so Im pretty sure the ruu has a fix for it...if I get time ill see if I can get that info from a ruu...

Hi,
Bumping this as I have a similar problem and can see you guys dont like noobs making new threads (going by the welcome video) :silly:
I have a HTC Sensation XL on Three (uk), everything is stock as far as I'm aware.
Today I had to reset my phone, once I done this it brought up the boot menu instead of starting up which reads
LOCKED
RUNNYMEDE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOY-1.20.0006
RADIO-3831.16.00.16_M
EMMC-BOOT
APR 24 2012 18:59:39
HBOOT
Now i can move to select fastboot, recovery etc but pushing power does nothing? There is nothing wrong with the power button as it works ok to swtch it on. When I connect the phone to the computer Htc sync does not see it, neither does the computer.
Any ideas???
I have searched high and low for the past 4.5 hours and tried all similar problems fixes to no avail. Really want to sort this as I love this phone and have pictures on it which I cant get back either!
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!! :angel:

Now i can move to select fastboot, recovery etc but pushing power does nothing? There is nothing wrong with the power button as it works ok to swtch it on. When I connect the phone to the computer Htc sync does not see it, neither does the computer.
Any ideas???
I have searched high and low for the past 4.5 hours and tried all similar problems fixes to no avail. Really want to sort this as I love this phone and have pictures on it which I cant get back either!
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!! :angel:

Forgot to mention that when I try to unlock the bootloader it just says waiting on device instead of giving me the big list of text. Dont know if unlocking it would actually help me but just trying anything!!!

Hi,
Bumping this as I have a similar problem and can see you guys dont like noobs making new threads (going by the welcome video) :silly:
I have a HTC Sensation XL on Three (uk), everything is stock as far as I'm aware.
Today I had to reset my phone, once I done this it brought up the boot menu instead of starting up which reads
LOCKED

Start phone in bootloader, go to fastboot and press one time on powerbutton. Download the tool lexmazter made xl tool I think, start it and unlock bootloader. Then flash a recovery with same tool but be aware that touch recovery for hboot 1.28 also ics hboot in that you can't mount as card on computer. Then go to recovery and wipe all and mount as card for pc and move Rom in it and flash Rom from ad card

Hi,
I've partially figured out what the problem is.
Before my phone locked me out I noticed the volume down button wasnt working. Putting two and two together I figured that this must be causing it to enter the boot menu when I push the power button to bring it on.
Held down the power up button as I switched it on and voila, phone comes on...only in safe mode.
So now the problem is how do I exit safe mode without switching my phone on and off? Obviously when I switch it on without holding volume up it just goes to bootloader where Im unable to select anything via power (guessing because volume down is stopping it).
Thanks for the reply!!!!:good:

Hello, the android folder you attached here that i used to unlock my bootloader, can i use this for the rest of the process of installing Clockworkmod recovery? Or do i need to try downloading the whole SDK?

I can help, first I need to know which HTC One you have, what carrier.
Once youve found out which carrier head over to the sticky with all the stock RUUs and download the one for your phone and carrier (if youre soff then just download anyone) then hold power and vol down to get into bootloader, press fastboot. Plug in your phone and dont touch it... Open up command prompt (assuming youre on windows) and go to your fastboot location... Type in "fastboot oem lock" wait for it to relock youe bootloader... Then type "fastboot rebootRUU" then wait til your phone shows a different screen, the RUU one. Now open up the RUU .exe and run it. Your phone will now be at stock.
That should work if you have fastboot working.

I don't suppose you could do the same for me?, I'm in exactly the same boat, Factory unlocked HTC One, can only get into bootloader and TWRP, no OS installed, can't get mass storage or HTC MTP drivers installed so not way to get a new OS on...... I'm an idiot., If anyone can help I would appreciate., tried the steps in post 2 but command prompt just says waiting for device.
Sorry for the thread hijack, its just that its virtually exactly the same as whats happened to me.

Im not sure what info you want?... much appreciated anyway, thank you.
Hi guys, I have the non-lte One running on 2.24.707.3. Today, I restored my stock nandroid (4.2.2) and then tried the rumrunner s-off (rumrunner_m7_2.24.401.1). It worked, and I was successfully s-off, superCID on hboot 1.54. I then flashed a modified hboot(descenpet_HBOOT_1.54_2.24_MOD) to remove the red warning. All went well. Later, while I was recieving a call, the phone got hung up, so I did a reset (holding the power + vol down buttons). The phone got switched off, but never booted back up.. I tried holding the power + vol down buttons but even the buttons aren't flashing.. Connecting it to my pc makes no connection sounds, and again holding the combo makes no difference. The charging light also doesn't light up. Please tell me what I should do, and whether it is a hard brick or soft brick. Thanks in advance.
Just press and hold the power button on it's own and see if anything happens

why did you use modified hboot now you are in serious trouble. As you are supercid download any ruu and try flashing and if your pc can connect via fastboot you can fix your phone. To check you must type in adb fastboot devices. if results are positive tell me i can help you then

I used a modded hboot to remove the red warning, have a look at this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726)
To do an RUU, I need to reboot in fastboot, but I can't even get the phone to charge.. Of course adb doesn't detect it..
Another point to note is that I rebooted several times after flashing the modded hboot, and it worked all those times, so this is just random... :'(
Why do people care about the red writing? Unless you're sending it to HTC for repair it makes no difference! It just leads to complications such as this

Well, 2 things
1: The process worked, ok? It's a perfect process to remove the red text, and the modded hboot also worked, I rebooted several times after flashing it.
2: The matter of the fact is that I am actually sending it in for camera replacement.. I guess I'll just tel them to replace the mobo along with it..
So, lets stop fighting like losers and find a way to get out of this situation! It'll help many people in the future

If it's not booting up , and you're stuck in that QDLOAD thing, it's usually the mainboard that's fried and HTC replaced the mainboard in my Sensation under the warranty when it happened to me. I was S-OFF at the time as well, and it came back 100% stock and working

I think most of the time, that's not something fixable unless by a service center. You may wanna check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331454
For one guy the phone "magically" just started again, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Sorry mate.
Ok, thanks for the info.. Maybe I'll make a strong case. My phone was originally replaced with a new one within a week because of battery problems, and scratch marks that I didn't make.. Then the second one had its mobo replaced for that same battery problem, and now I was going to send this in for replacement because my lower speaker is louder than the upper, and my camera has the dreaded pink tint and my phone has a big gap on its side where the service center guys hadn't closed the phone properly..and now this.. Oh boy, am I gonna make a strong case!!

Okay, although I've read a lot and I've learnt quite some bit, I want to know that if it wasn't the phone that unexpectedly died, was it my mistake somewhere? So I'll start with what I did, step by step, please have a look and tell me if I did anything wrong
1. Originally on ViperOne, tampered and unlocked on hboot 1.54
2. Restored stock nandroid 4.2.2 (2.24.707.3)(India) unrooted
3. Downloaded rumrunner (the version that I previously mentioned)
4. Started the exe
5. Phone reboots 2-3 times, process completes at pouring(3)
6. Reboot to verify s-off
7. Restore ViperOne nandroid
8. Run Revone to reset tampered flag
9. Flash modified hboot to remove warning.. Succeeds, reboot to verify warning gone
10. Reboot like 5-6 times to admire at the bootloader
11. I got a call and my phone hung
12. Reset the phone by holding power+vol down
Aaand the phone never booted again..

I'm not even sure where to begin. I've been flashing Rom's on multiple devices for a few years now, and have never had an issue until yesterday. I was running the latest stock 3.04.652.2 (sprint) but was rooted and used a few rooted apps. Everything was fine, but then I decided it was time to try a few new roms as I was getting tired of this one. I flashed CM11, and tried to put 4.4 on there.
I should mention that I was using TWRP for everything, except when I tried to load CM11, it said I needed to use the clockword mod recovery, so I did, and didnt' have any issues. It loaded without a hiccup. I didn't fell in love with this rom, so I tried to flash another. I had thought I successfully made a backup and stored it on my computer, but somehow, it didn't save correctly, and is useless.
I got to the point where I downloaded two Roms on the phone. I was going to try one more, Skydragon 4.0, and then a stock version of the Sprint HTC one zip. While trying to flash the skydragon, it went into the correct mode and began the series of questions prior to the flash, and then, about halfway through, there was an error message about syms issue? I can't remember what the exact wording was. I googled around, and was told that if I wiped the kalvic drive, it would solve the issue. I accidentally wiped everything.
So here I am. Stuck on the bootload screen. I've got a white background...it looks like I'm in recovery, however, there is nothing to recover. I can't even factory reset, because there is nothing on here. It won't load anything. I've tried following every Youtube video, and read through every forum I can find. Nothing works. I've tried downloading every stock rom I can find from Sprint, but I can't get any of the zip drives to open to get to the .image file. So here is what I'm working with...

Power Down
When I try to connect the usb to the phone, nothing happens, it sounds like it recognizes it, but then get an error message stating that the USB is not recognized. None of the other options do me any good. Reboot, power down, etc ,all take me right back to this screen. I've got all of the developer sdk tools and was going to try to manually put them back on, but can't even do any of it because I can't get the ROM to work.
Do I have any options? Or, am I better at this point to just drop it in the toilet, and shell out the money for the insurance claim to get a phone? I thought about taking it to the Sprint store down the street, and just asking for a Christmas miracle, but I"m not sure how much trouble it will get me in...
Please help! I can't go through Christmas without a phone.

did you try to make " fastboot erase cahe(s)" ? it may solve the problem.
or you should flash another recovery that support your rom!

I can't even get it to connect to the usb on the computer. It say the usb drive doesn't work. My only options are what's available on the screen. Anything I do reboots me to the recovery screen. There is no way to re-load anything on it. I think I'm screwed. I might try to take it back to sprint and see what they say. Even though it says tampered on the top...the S is set to ON, so maybe that will save me?

When you say safe side, do you think I'll get in trouble at the Sprint store? It does say tampered, and unlocked, but the S is on. I'm just going to go with "my brother in law came over last night for the holidays and started messing with my phone. This morning, when I woke up, this is all I can get to." Nothing loads. I'm hoping they will fix it. Otherwise, I'm out $150 for the insurance.
I don't have a win 7 computer, otherwise I would try. This sucks.

Why are you posting in the GSM One forums ?
Sprint HTC one is totally different than these.
If you have flashed a GSM Rom to your Sprint phone your going to have to RUU back to stock to get your partitions repaired.
if fastboot is not working on your windows 8.1 PC it means you hboot is older than 1.55.000 .... try this RUU with your phone in the bootloader screen
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_335355_signed_2.exe
Edit: your going to need to use fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader
to accomplish this I suggest an Ubuntu boot CD
I got a similar problem a few days ago, and this is how i solved it. First make sure you have TWRP installed, while in recovery, push the rom into your phone memory. Then go to your phone and click install. Good luck!
