[SOLVED] Soft Bricked - Need Help!

Hi All,
I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff, but I've learned a lot over the last day. I soft bricked my HTC One Developer Edition while trying to do the most recent OTA update to 4.4.
What happens:
When booting normally, it goes initially to the normal white HTC screen, then to a "pink" screen (it's mostly pink, but it's really just messed up graphics), then goes to the HTC One loading screen (except BEATS is blue instead of red). Then it just freezes on that loading screen.
I can boot into the bootloader and recovery (currently TWRP, but was stock when doing the OTA update)
What I've tried:
I've used Fastboot to flash TWRP, so that part is good. Within TWRP, I've wiped the cache, system, Dalvik.
I've tried using Fastboot to flash the RUU Zip file (first one in the list here) in both Windows and OSX, while in "FASTBOOT USB" mode and in RUU mode. Each time, it starts sending, but around 43-44 secs it fails with "remote:not allowed: For reference, the top of the bootloader screen says TAMPERED, then UNLOCKED. I'm running HBOOT 1.55 and have S-ON (but unlocked bootloader). OS shows 3.22.1540.1
I can't get past the remote:not allowed issue, and I'm not such an expert to know what to try next. Can anyone please give me some tips on what to do next? I've tried searching, but I don't know what exactly to search for.
Thank you all!

Thanks! The command prompt was fastboot flash zip rom.zip (I renamed it to that). For TWRP it was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
GETVAR is attached.
EDIT: I added the command prompt and fail as well.

ok, first you can't flash that ruu you linked above (first in the list) because its a decrypted ruu. Decrypted ruu.zip require s-off and you are s-on. Whit s-on you can only flash signed ruu.
and btw did you enter ruu mode before ''fastboot flash zip rom.zip'' ?

There is a 3.22.1540.1 RUU.exe on htcdev.com you could use to restore your phone. But it will not work using windows 8.1. what is your computer OS?

Thank you for that explanation. I got into RUU mode by doing fastboot oem rebootRUU, which took me to a black screen with silver HTC. That may not be RUU mode...I'm just guessing.

Amazing! Thanks - I'll try this and let you know how it goes. I have Windows 8.1, but with fastboot and a zip file it should work, right? If not, I have a Windows 7 laptop at home.

yes ruu.zip should work flawlessly with windows 8.1. but do not attempt the ruu.exe with 8.1, will work fine on 7.

I saw that I already had the 3.22.1540.1 zip file on my computer, so I tried. It got a lot further, but still failed with a remote:not allowed (see attached pic).
My next tries will be to re-download the file and try again, and if that fails, to try the RUU.exe file on the Windows 7 laptop. Is this correct, or is there something else I should try?
I'm leaving work now, so I won't be able to answer for another hour or so but thank you for your help thus far!

Sorry I didn't explain better - the file I meant was the one from HTCDevs - I downloaded it a while ago when I had a different issue. I just renamed it to rom1 or whatever. Is this then the correct file?
Also, the phone was not in RUU mode - it was in regular fastboot mode ("FASTBOOT USB"). I'll try again in RUU mode.

you can not flash ruu with fastboot. you MUST reboot phone in ruu mode using ''fastboot oem rebootRUU'' it will then reboot with a black screen and the htc logo. so:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip name_of_ruu.zip <------ yes again!
fastboot reboot
When in ruu mode you'll have a screen similar to this:
then proceed with ''fastboot flash zip...................''

Ok, I booted into RUU mode and flashed the file twice as per your instructions. Both times it failed. Screenshot is attached. (I even tried it a 3rd time but it still failed with the same message)
Also, I renamed the zip file to rom1.zip just to make typing it easier, but it is the file from HTCDevs, "3.22.1540.1 Developer Edition", Zip (not RUU).
Thank you!

Ok, I tried it on the Windows 7 laptop and got another error (155 - unknown error). Pic is attached. It was in RUU mode btw.
I'm currently downloading the older 1.29.xx version (Android 4.1) and will try again with that.
Just for my own knowledge - how many "parts" (partitions?) of the system are there? As in, there's the recovery partition, the "main" ROM, etc. Are those the only two? I only ask because I wonder if I messed up something in another part that makes the phone think it's not the Developer Edition? (the errors seem to point to using the wrong image, but I got it directly from HTCDevs and have now tried both the RUU and Zip versions.

I got it! I had to relock my bootloader for some reason. Then, the Windows RUU installed fine.
Thank you alray for your help!

Is being stuck at the booting screen (Htc one with beats audio (red color)) same as this scenario ? Is it soft bricked or boot looped or what's it called?
I'm S-off, rooted, stock rom, hboot is 1.56 w/ CWM. At some point the phone just rebooted on its own (I was even in a different place at that time!!!) and got stuck forever at that screen. Rebooting would just make it get stuck there again. bootloader, custom recovery all work.
what do?

Mine did get stuck there, but after a weird messed up pink screen (and the Beats text was blue, not red for some reason). If I was in your boat, I'd just flash a fresh rom and be done.

1- Please also post a screenshot of bootloader.
2- So you're on completely stock ROM?
3- are you able to enter recovery?
4- have you simply tried "fastboot erase cache" and tried booting?

Thanks man!
Let's get this started:
1- done, see attached.
2- yes, up to latest OTA but i was rooted.
3- yes , CWM
4- done, still gets stuck at the same screen.
now: million $ question - is there a way to get out of this stupid problem without having to lose any data at all ? one gets quite sick at having to wipe and restore backups everytime there's a booting problem with the phone. i remember with the SGS2 i just had to reflash with odin the rom i was using and boom, back in order!

Well first I would recommend you update recovery to TWRP
2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
since they are more compatible when flashing 4.4 ROMs (make sure to check MD5 on the files, that site doesn't play nice with download managers!)
Code:
[B]fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader[/B]
-> enter recovery
Second, in TWRP, make a nandroid backup, you may need it later *** (please check below)
Third, put a ROM on the phone (in custom recovery):
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HT34xxxxxxxx recovery <- you need to be in recovery
[B]adb push <name of rom>.zip /sdcard/[/B] <- this will take about 5 mins without any progress
and install the ROM, don't select WIPE during installation, and you should have your million $ question solved... all apps, data, etc should be there, but if you get apps crashing it's because of the "dirty-flash"
As to which ROMs you can use for the above procedure, there's is a 100% stock version of 4.19.401.9 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
I'm personally using ARHD 52.0 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 (stock but with improvements, and rooted)
I haven't checked if there's a 100% stock 4.20.707.6 ROM around, so you could do some googling and see.
Hope that helps
*** once you've done the backup, you can try wiping "data, cache, dalvik", and then restore the nandroid... sometimes that works
if not keep the nandroid, as it has all the information, and you can use Nandroid Manager (in play store) to extract individual information, if need be.
Good Luck

[Q] HTC One M7 got into Bootloop, S-On, unrooted, Debug mode is off, only Fastboot

Hey guys, this is my first thread in XDA have quite some experience with samsung android but pretty new with HTC.
So, I dropped my HTC one day and it got stuck in a bootloop after few days. I havent change anything, stock, unrooted, never flashed any ROM into it, etc. I tried flashing RUU into it using fastboot command but it ddnt work since its still S-on.
Im working on mac as a platform and i dont think this is a major issue?
I am able to access recovery mode and fastboot mode, but wasnt able to push any file into it since debugging mode is off before the bootloop. ./adb devices command wont detect the phone. I also have HTC Sync installed on my mac but again, it wont detect the phone.
I also printed the getvar all result here:

First of all is there any warranty left on the device. If there is it would be a good idea to take advantage of that before tampering with it. Especially as this happened after you dropped the phone. So there's a good chance it's a hardware problem.
I assume you've tried to factory reset from stock recovery?
If there's no warranty your best option is to unlock the bootloader. This will allow you to flash a Custom recovery. Then you can push a Rom to the phone, as adb will work in a custom recovery weather debugging is enabled or not.
I recommend TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery it's not the latest twrp but is the most stable.

www.htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader. You'll need to register an account. Then go to the Unlock my Bootloader section. Follow the instructions to get the Unlock code

I tried resetting rooted device... it rebooted in trwp... so i wiped it from there

When you say you wiped it in twrp, did you Factory Reset or did you Format Data?
If you used Format Data then you wiped your entire device including the installed Rom. You should be able to force the device to power of by holding the power button for 60secs.
Then power on while holding volume down to get to the bootloader. Then you can boot to recovery and push a Rom with adb. :good:

awesome, thanks @Danny201281 i got TWRP to work on my HTC one. now on to custom rom. Which one is the best for HTC One? Any suggestion anyone? =)

Hehe I will always recommend Android Revolution HD because it's my favorite
But honestly is depends what you want from a Rom. ARHD is close to stock. It's very stable with no real bugs. It also has xposed support so you can make your own modifications. For me this gives a more personal experience.
MaximusHD is also a very popular close to stock Rom.
Or then you have the likes of Viper Rom or insertcoin which are more heavily modified.
But either way you look at it ARHD is a good place to start. It should be flashed with TWRP 2.6.3.3 TO avoid problems installing as most newer versions of TWRP don't seem to agree with the Aroma installer the Rom is packaged with :good:

9 times out of 10 this is a Hardware problem. You can try and flash a Firmware package and after that the only thing left Is to s-off and try an ruu. But if firmware doesn't fix it an ruu probably won't either.
As the phone had been dropped there's a high chance it's a hardware problem.
But I'll see if I can find a firmware package you can try. It's worth a go before writing it off.

9 times out of 10 this is a Hardware problem. You can try and flash a Firmware package and after that the only thing left Is to s-off and try an ruu. But if firmware doesn't fix it an ruu probably won't either.
As the phone had been dropped there's a high chance it's a hardware problem.

oh. so i guess warranty is the only way to go. or new phone. =( i even lost pictures from internal storage.

I couldn't find a firmware package but I did find this OTA. It contains the firmware we need. Download it and open the zip on your pc. Extract the firmware.zip and put the firmware.zip in your fastboot folder.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_...-19-631-9_release_372926h4tumwerl14wrs0u-zip/
Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
< --- case sensitive. ---^^^
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you will need to unlock the bootloader again with your Unlock_code.bin
Flash TWRP and Flash your Rom again before the phone will boot. Then reboot the phone. :fingers-crossed:
If that doesn't do it Warranty is a possibility but you will need s-off to remove the signs the phone was tampered with.

youre amazing man. looks fine so far. baseband and IMEI is registered. im currently on android lollipop, and couldnt find any suitable gapps file. do you happen to know?

ok, so I shut down the phone to get back into fastboot mode with the button combo, but now it is not even turning on. black screen, not even charging. wtf.

Danny201281 said:
When you say you wiped it in twrp, did you Factory Reset or did you Format Data?
If you used Format Data then you wiped your entire device including the installed Rom. You should be able to force the device to power of by holding the power button for 60secs.
Then power on while holding volume down to get to the bootloader. Then you can boot to recovery and push a Rom with adb. :good:

Sorry man I had to get some sleep, So it was looking good for while then
What happened exactly? You flashed the firmware and Rom and all was ok. Then you just power off to go to bootloader and it never came back on? Did you flash anything in between that or that was it? You say you had a lollipop Rom can you provide a link to it please?
Is the device detected when you connect it to your pc? Does it show on device manager, maybe as Unknown device or QHSUSB_DLOAD?

HTC One M7 Stuck in a Boot Loop

Alright, I recently purchased a phone that was stuck at the screen with the download icon in the arrow circle (http://forum.xda-developers.com/album.php?albumid=11886). When it is like this is can not be put into hboot. I then somehow got the phone into a boot loop. I did wipe the cache and that did not fix the problem. I did a factory reset via hboot, and it sent me back to the screen I mentioned before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/album.php?albumid=11886). I've now gotten the phone back into boot looping so I can access hboot. Recovery does work and you can access all the options. This phone is basically a stock HTC One M7. Has not been rooted, is locked, and it S-ON. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I bought it for a friend. He wanted something other than his locked up att samsung s4 active. He doesn't have much money and he figured he could fix this one and if he could't, he would just sell it again. I am personally used to iPhones (typing this on a jailbroken 4s right now) so this is all pretty new to me. We started troublesing it yesterday and he seemed to get stumped. He hates forums so I went ahead and signed up and made this post for him. Currently I have no access to a computer right now (at least one where I can install sdk and so on), but will have access later today. Will post when I have it.

Ok well there is no RUU you can use with s-on so while the bootloader is locked all you can do is try to flash the current firmware. If the phone doesn't boot after that you will need to unlock the bootloader.
Download the firmware here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543602 put the zip in your fastboot folder on your pc and rename it "firmware.zip" Now with fastboot usb connected in the bootloader flash the firmware with the following fastboot commands
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
case sensitive
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now try to reboot the phone. If it doesn't boot you should now at least be able to do a factory reset. But you will need to unlock the bootloader at www.htcdev.com register an account and follow the instructions in the Unlock My Bootloader section. :good:

Now the bootloader is unlocked you will need to flash a custom recovery and install a new Rom.
Download this http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img *<<<<< Put this in your fastboot folder and rename it recovery.img
Download this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274
Boot the device to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. Flash the recovery with fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When back in the bootloader select Recovery from the menu to load TWRP recovery. Before we do anything else a little spring cleaning. Select "Wipe" from the TWRP menu the "Format Data" You will be prompted to type yes to continue. When its done Select "Reboot" then "Reboot Recovery" You will see a message "No OS Installed" Reboot anyway and say No when asked to install supersu.
Now back in TWRP recovery you should be able to see the Internal Storage on your PC. Copy the rom file to the Internal Storage then from the TWRP menu select install and choose the rom .zip :good:
During the install with Aroma choose these options
Stock Radio = Yes
Stock Recovery = Yes
Root = No
When the install is completed reboot the device and hopefully it should boot up normally without any problems :good: :fingers-crossed:
P.S The first boot after a new flash can take an extended amount of time. Don't be supprised if it's stuck on the HTC logo screen for 15 minutes+ Just be patient

For s-off he will have to use Sunshine App it's the only working method for hboot 1.57. It does cost $25 but It's very easy. Just install and run the app :good:
Rooting can be done a number of ways the 2 easiest are to allow TWRP to install SupeSu when leaving recovery. Or you can install root with the Guru reset rom by selecting root during the installer. Also if he want's to keep the TWRP recovery don't take the stock recovery during the rom install.

Unable to mount /cache and /system happens during format or after? Did you reboot recovery after the format?
When you exit recovery TWRP will detect wheather or not the device is rooted. If it's not rooted TWRP will ask if you want to install supersu to root the phone. Say yes and TWRP will install root.
Although you could just install root when you install the rom. Just install with these options instead
Stock = Recovery No
Stock = Radio Yes
Root = Yes

When you format data it is like repartitioning the phone. All the partitions are gone until you reboot. That's the reason they won't mount

[Q] ADB can't find phone

So I'm trying to update my firmware so I can get android 5.1 working on my phone to try it out. But I am running into trouble with adb finding my phone.
When I enter "adb devices" it returns a list of nothing, entering kill-server and start-server doesn't help.
My phone says fastboot USB when I plug it in and my computer says HTC One is found and working in the device manager (on my windows 8 machine it had a yellow exclamation next to it saying unknown device so I switched to a windows 7 machine which picks it up instantly)
I also tried using Squabbi's HTC one toolkit to s-off (I have hboot 1.44) as that is needed to update the firmware however it cannot connect to my phone either (same adb problem)
adb is seemingly installed correctly, I've tired all usb 2 and usb 3 ports on my laptop and tried multiple usb cables. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalled different HTC drivers, I also tried installing the google usb drivers.
I need helps

If your phone says "fastboot usb" then it its booted in bootloader / fastboot mode.
ADB only works from a booted rom with usb debugging turned on or from a booted custom recovery (no matter if usb degug is on/off)
when in bootloader / fastboot usb mode, use fastboot commands, in this case "fastboot devices" will work.
and my computer says HTC One is found and working in the device manager (on my windows 8 machine it had a yellow exclamation next to it saying unknown device so I switched to a windows 7 machine which picks it up instantly)

hboot 1.44 isn't compatible with windows 8, use windows 7 or the windows 8 drivers fix. Will work fine after hboot is updated.
I also tried using Squabbi's HTC one toolkit to s-off (I have hboot 1.44)

To achieve s-off on hboot 1.44 use Revone
as that is needed to update the firmware

S-OFF is only needed if you flash a custom firmware.

Always use usb 2.0 ports.
Post the outpuf of "fastboot getvar all" remove imei and sn before posting and also tell us what you want to do exactly, what firmware are you trying to flash?

If your phone says "fastboot usb" then it its booted in bootloader / fastboot mode.
ADB only works from a booted rom with usb debugging turned on or from a booted custom recovery (no matter if usb degug is on/off)
when in bootloader / fastboot usb mode, use fastboot commands, in this case "fastboot devices" will work.
hboot 1.44 isn't compatible with windows 8, use windows 7 or the windows 8 drivers fix. Will work fine after hboot is updated.
To achieve s-off on hboot 1.44 use Revone
S-OFF is only needed if you flash a custom firmware.
Always use usb 2.0 ports.

Thanks for the reply!
I was following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybu7fZa41so
using the fastboot commands listed which would result in cmd saying "waiting for device" forever. I didn't know adb and fastboot were different commands, adb works now that I know how to use it. Fastboot is still giving me trouble always waiting.
Should I update Hboot? I have my phone connected to a win7 laptop so that isn't a problem. Are there benefits other than windows 8?

The linked firmware is a custom firmware and requires s-off to be flashed. Why not simply updating your phone normally via ota updates from 1.29.666.5 to the latest Bell mobility version 7.17.666.7 and then you'll be able to flash 5.0+ custom roms.
If you want s-off better to achieve it now, its an easy task when on hboot 1.44 (revone s-off), newer hboot version will requires to use paid methods like sunshine s-off.

Change your CID to GOOGL001:
boot in bootlaoder / fastboot usb mode
using fastboot enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid GOOGL001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then confirm your cid is now GOOGL001:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
output must be "GOOGL001"
reboot in ruu mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
flash this firmware, not the one you have linked above:
Code:
fastboot flash zip m7_GPE_5.1_FULL_firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip m7_GPE_5.1_FULL_firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then reflash twrp:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot in recovery, push the GPE rom to your phone and flash it. Reboot and your phone should boot in the 5.1 rom (first boot can take up to 10-15 mins, will be stuck at htc splash screen)
Dont forget to backup your important files before, the firmware flash will wipe your phone.

If you flash the latest twrp version (2.8.7.0), you'll be able to see your phone storage from your computer when booted in twrp main menu. Copy your rom (drag and drop) from its current location to "My computer --> HTC One --> internal storage --> your rom.zip here"
or you can use adb push
Phone must be booted in twrp main menu and the rom.zip mus tbe in the same folder where adb is installed:
Code:
adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard
the command window will be unresponsive as long as the transfer is not completed (around 10 min)

If you need some of elementalX features then yes flash it, you can always revert back to the previous kernel that comes with the rom by extracting it from the rom.zip and flashing it using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
ElementalX kernel must be flashed in recovery.

[Q] HTC One M7 - GPE - NO Command

Hi Everyone
This is somewhat urgent and random. I literally woke up today and my phone has had the "No Command" Dialogue.. I do not know how it came about, the phone was working fine the night before, so I am not sure if the phone tried to update. The phone keeps on restarting back to the No Command dialogue. Your Help will be greatly appreciated!
I have an HTC One M7 GPE. It says LOCKED and S-On

So your phone is rebooting to the stock recovery.
First, try to erase cache
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
If that doesn't work, try a factory reset
And finally you might be able to restore the phone using a RUU, you'll have to post the output of "fastboot getvar all" so we can direct you to the correct one.

Thank you so much for your response.
Questions:
How and where do I type those commands, and how do I use the "getvar"

If you didn't synced your files with a cloud service like dropbox/google drive you'll loose everything on the phone. The only way to backup files from a phone in this state is by using adb from a custom recovery but since your bootloader is locked you can't do that (unlocking the bootloader to flash a custom recovery will wipe the phone).
You can use the 5.11.1700.3 RUU to restore your phone. This will also wipe everything from the phone like if it was brand new.

make sure to use the fastboot.exe version posted in that thread to flash the ruu.

This is quite tragic. Do you know why my phone is in the state it's in? Originally, it kept trying to install 5.1, but it kept getting an error and stopping, would this have been the cause? I don't even understand why it did that.
So, If I do do the RUU to restore. can I go back to install the 5.1. Or will it do it automatically for me?
I really appreciate your help! I wish more people could answer.

The phone must be able to boot in order to achieve s-off and since its s-on the bootloader must be locked or re-locked to flash the RUU.
Once it can boot then you can achieve s-off if you want before updating it.

OK.
For the RUU Install, since I am an idiot and afriad:
Step by Step:
- I install the RUU for 5.11.1700.3 (since that's what my GetVar says I have)
- I follow these steps afterwards:
1. Rename file to RUU.zip
2. Place it in adb folder
3. Reboot phone to fastboot mode
4. S On need to relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock) , S Off lock not needed
5. Also use the htc_fastboot.exe not the normal fastboot.exe
get the htc_fastboot.exe : Here
Rename htc_fastboot to fastboot or if you don't rename it, then the command will be "htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip"
Run the following commands from your adb folder:
6.htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
7.htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
8.htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then I am done?

Yes no need to do step 4 as your bootloader is already locked.
Don't forget you need to use fastboot.exe version provided in this thread
And careful when renaming the file to "ruu.zip". If the .zip is hidden before renaming the file "ruu" do not add .zip because you'll have double file extensions (ruu.zip + the hidden .zip = ruu.zip.zip). If you want to avoid double file extension, configure Window so it will never hide file extension.
If you have any problem during this process, post a screenshot of your command window so we can see what is wrong exactly.
