[Q] HTC One stuck in bootloop

I have been given a HTC One which has been messed up by someone who has tried to root it.
The phone boots, gets to the welcome to Android screen and reboots.
The bootloader shows the following info:
Tampered
Unlocked
M7_UL PVT Ship S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO-4T.21.3218.21
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048 MB
Oct 17 2013.23:06:14.0
I can get into CWR (V6.0.4.6) but that is it - I cant recover from SDCARD as it says no files found. ADB says there is no device there if I try to push anything to it.
So a couple of questions.
Does the info above look correct for a UK based phone?
Any ideas how to get the phone to boot please?
Thanks.

Anyone?

your cid (HTC__304) is a EMEA cid (Europe, Midle-East and Africa) and generally from Spain. You should have no issue using it in the UK.
now for the bootloop do you want to go back to stock or you don't care? If you don't care about being stock, the easiest thing probably is to flash a custom rom like ARHD 51.0

I don't really want a stock ROM at all. A Google Play ROM would be better I think.
Are you suggesting this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356654
If so how do I get it onto the phone. I've tried pushing things to it and all I get it device not found.

No this rom require S-OFF and you currently have S-ON, you will bootloop if you try to install this one.

make sure you have latest htc drivers installed on your computer by downloading and installing htc sync from htc website. then you can uninstall the htc sync app (the drivers will still be installed)
download twrp recovery 2.6.6.3 and flash it
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.zip
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery (twrp)
download the rom and place it in your adb/fastboot folder and push it to your phone
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
then in twrp select install and chose the rom.zip you pushed

I have copied the ROM to the phone (finally) and installed it.
Now all the phone will do is to start up, show the HTC screen, then the screen goes black and the phone reboots into recovery.
I have no idea what the problem is now. :crying:

Anyone?

Can you go back to TWRP and do a factory reset, and restart?

Nope, it does exactly the same thing. Boots to the HTC screen, stays on it for a while, the screen goes black and then the phone boots into recovery.

You must get correct recovery.
recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.6-m7 or TWRP_2.6.3.0_m7 i dont remember now
Flash recovery
Download HTC toolkit.
Reboot to fastboot use sideload to install cm11
do wipe
must work .

That doesnt really answer my question but gives me more things to get wrong.

Can you try ARHD 31.6 and install that? I am suspecting that becuase of S-ON, your phone maybe not liking ARHD 51.x rom.
Post back how it goes.

[Q] Relocking and Flashing to Stock HTC M7 on Bell

Hey community,
I'd really love some help from the experts here. I bought an HTC one that was originally on Bell, and the previous owner had rooted it and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it. To enter the sim unlock code, I have to flash it back to stock.
Now, I've been spoiled previously by using Nexus devices so I haven't run into this problem before.
What I've done so far:
Followed this guide about half way, to the point where I re-locked the bootloader. (fastboot oem lock)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZR5yhP75Jg
I got stuck after that, because Bell apparently does note have an excutable RUU file. I've only been able to find nandroid backups.
Right now, I cant get past the bootloader mode.
This is what shows on my screen:

re-locking the bootloader is only required to flash ruu which is not an option for your phone (no ruu available for bell). Now you'll need to unlock the bootloader again to flash either TWRP recovery to resotre from a twrp backup or CWM to restore from a CWM backup.
I'll suggest you to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and ARHD 53 rom. Many users reported successfully sim-unlocked their phones using ARHD rom. If that don't work then you could try with the nandroid backups.

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache

This is from @crushalot instructions on restoring a nandroid backup
Then enter recovery either by holding power and vol down button until bootloader displays and then select recovery or if device is booted into the OS use this adb command:
adb reboot recovery
Now perform a test backup and allow it to complete. Then make a note of the folder in which the backup was created. Now copy the downloaded stock Nandroid into that same folder so that recovery will see the backup and allow you to restore it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For a phone that's not booting up this means pushing the files with adb push
so the command would look like this
adb push 2013-08-08--19-24-38.ATT.502.15 /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/
these files are over 1.2 gigs sometimes so it takes a long time, be patient
Also be sure the files your pushing are in the same folder as adb

Thanks for the replies ^
Okay, so I have now unlocked my bootloader successfully - however am now stuck in a cyanogenmod bootloop.
What's the best way out of this?I have CWM Recovery V6.0.3.1 I can boot into - is this where I try and install ARHD 53 rom? When I plug the phone into my computer, I can't see it as a drive to copy a rom into.

if you want to flash arhd 53 you will need at least twrp recovery version 2.6.3.3 as specified in the ARHD rom thread. Then use either adb push or adb sideload method to transfer the rom on your phone which are explained here

The error I'm getting in CWM Recovery is:
E: can't mount /sdcard
E: can't mount /external _sd
How can I install TWRP Recovery? Sorry, I'm at a loss right now and feel so confused.

I was able to push the rom to the /sdcard folder via ADB Push
then from recovery, had to wipe/format all data. I think this created the directories for me
and then i was able to install CM11 again.
now im just trying to figure out how to install the nandroid backup since bell does not have a RUU, It says failed everytime i try in recovery and i have it in the same parent folder as my CM recovery i created.

like cIsA said you have to push the twrp nandroid in this folder: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/
You have to make a backup first for this folder to be created. So make a twrp nandroid backup of the boot partition only (because its light). This will generate the backup path with your s/n + date. Then delete the file inside that folder and replaced it by the nandroid backup you want to restore.

Not sure what the problem is. If you have no recovery then fastboot flash a recovery and then adb push or sideload a Rom to your phone

Tried them both gives me a image error or signature failure so i don't believe these are the correct RUU's my current image verison is 1.29.631.17
I tried Flash_recovery_4.19.401.11. and Previously when i had recovery and tried to sideload it gave me a system error and just kept loading.

SOLVED
Hey thanks a lot for helping me. I have been able to solved it myself.
If someone would like to know what i did:
(for any noobs like me - UNLOCK the phone first to install a recovery)
It didn't properly wipe/format in twrp 2.6.3.3 because of decrypt pw, had to upgrade to 2.7 wipe it then go back to 2.6.3.3 then type adb usb
while mounted with data selected only. adb sideload button did not work.
Installed Android Revolution 62 directly and works fine now!
Thanks a lot for your help though!

You must be S-OFF to flash ARHD GPE edition otherwise it will bootloop like its doing now.

Of course, ADB debugging is set to off by default so if you ahve flashed a rom, it will be off unless you turn it on from the dev option menu. Anyway USB debug is only to use ADB when booted in the OS. You can still use ADB from custom recovery even if USB debug is turned off.

You'll need to flash a rom that doesn't require S-OFF (basically all roms except GPE). Then if you still want to use a GPE rom, achieve S-OFF on a Sense rom (ARHD 81 for example) and flash your GPE rom after.
If you are gonna flash a Sense rom (ARHD 81), get rid of CWM and flash TWRP 2.6.3.3.

According to the OP:
Android Revolution HD 6.1 Google Edition
You need S-OFF, otherwise you'll experience boot-loop!
You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!​
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
Install AHRD 81.0
If you want to flash GPe ROM, then obtain S-OFF!
ADB only needs USB Debugging when in the OS; it works just fine in Recovery Mode without USB Debugging. You can use alray's method to push the ROM to your phone:
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

read the first post. Particularly what said about ADB or at least take the time to read the instructions Majmoz just posted...

Flash twrp 2.6.3.3, boot into it and then use adb push or adb sideload commands to push or install a ROM.

Thanks for the information. I re-unlocked, and flashed TWRP. When trying to push firewater for S-OFF it just hangs. The good news is that the device is now being recognized when doing adb devices. Any ideas?

You need a working ROM on your phone for firewater to work. Push ARHD 81.0 first and boot into it. After you know it is working then try firewater!

Doesn't that ROM require S-OFF? Hence why I am trying to install Firewater.

ARHD 81.0 requires S-ON and an unlocked bootloader. You really need to read the OP:
You need:
HTC One unlocked with htcdev.com (S-ON) or S-OFF
Custom recovery
Firmware package from here (recommended but not needed for now)

Even on base 4.4.2 still go to ARHD 81.0? Or will I have to upgrade my base?

Do you have a custom recovery? If not flash twrp 2.6.3.3. Then you can push or sideload a Rom to the phone.
---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
Use this recovery
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Download and put the file in your fastboot folder rename it recovery.img and use these commands to flash the recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader menu to boot TWRP Recovery :good:
Put the stock Rom zip in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
While on the TWRP home screen connect your usb cable. In the command window type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete (Several Minutes) When its done Install the Rom with TWRP recovery.
If you want stock with working OTA updates install the Rom with options
Stock Recovery = Yes
Stock Radio =Yes
Root = No
Otherwise choose options to your liking :good:

I will try and reply

You may want to try formatting the device. In TWRP go to "Wipe" then "Format Data" type yes to confirm. Then reboot recovery. And push the Rom again.
Also check the md5 of the rom.zip with the tool www.winmd5.com it should match this.
