[Q] No android, no recovery, only bootloader... :(

Dear XDA,
I wanted to update my HTC One to Revolution HD. But there where some requirements before i could install that. Like updating the firmware and installing TWRP recovery. I needed to RELOCK my phone in order to update my firmware. So i did that using a tutorial. After that i only had to push the RUU and i would be back @ stock. And then i could flash Revolution HD to get 4.4!
But!... it went horribly wrong. As of right now, i can only enter fastboot. I cannot enter recovery, and there is no Android installed, so basically i'm screwed.
I do have some flashing experience and I'm not a complete newb, but this is out of my league. Perhaps there are some nice persons here that could help me out. I will try to summarise my phone settings:
My current settings in Fastboot:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
May 3 2013,17:22:59:-1
CID: HTC_E11
MID: PN0710000
I have a nandroidback, but i can't get into recovery. I tried using ADB but my device is not recognised.... I get the feeling that S-ON needs to change to S-OFF. But if i use a toolkit (from Squabbi) i can't get my device S-OFF (device not recognised..).
As of right now, I'm sitting with my hands in my hair thinking i bricked my phone.
If someone could help me, you would save my day.

Your phone is basically still stock andriod version 4.1.2
(this is good you can s-off pretty easy)
what RUU were you going to flash ?
this is the version of recovery you need
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
download it and put it in your fastboot folder
then to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7ul.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now you can enter recovery correct ?

you should try and get s-off next

ARHD is great .. I also use ViperOne
just use the sideload feature in twrp being your phone is wiped
Quote:
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload name_of_rom.zip
or
adb push Rom.zip /data/media/0/

I will get s-off through the HTC One All in one toolkit. But on the ARHD topic, this was posted aswell:
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)
Read this flashing guide - [GUIDE] Complete Flashing Guide | Rooting | Going Back To Stock
So i tried to get the latest firmware, and that's where the problems started. But shouldn't it be better to have the latest firmware? I mean it stands there for a reason, right? Or am I wrong?
Anyway, i will try ARHD for now, it looks nice
Thanks again!

Need help with htc one!

hello,
so i recently accidentally removed my android OS from my htc one (m7) and the backup i took , and now im stuck with a bricked phone.
it is still unlocked , S-on however and i have the Twrp custom recovery.
I have the stock RUU for my phone but i can't use ADB push command to forward it to my phone.
It might be because my usb debugging is off ( probably not ) but i cant open my phone , it keeps stuck at the bootscreen.
i also couldnt flash it with fasboot flash zip command.
If anyone could help me out with this, i would be so happy.
Thanks in advance

What RUU are you trying to flash? Here is alray's procedure for your situation. You might want to check the prerequisites on installed drivers. Also, is there a RUU.exe file to use instead of a zip file?
If these procedures don't work, then post a fastboot getvar all except for the imei and serialno.

guru reset M7 3.62.401.1 is not a RUU, its a ROM (stock rom) and must be installed using a custom recovery, not using "fastboot flash zip" command which is only used to flash RUU.zip or Firmware.zip
However, 3.62.401.1 is no longer the version you need (your hboot is 1.57) so you probably need the 5.11.401.10 or 6.09.401.5 rom.
Also usb debugging have nothing to do with using adb from custom recovery, its only to enable adb when booted in the OS.
make sure to use twrp 2.6.3.3 with latest adb 1.0.31 and latest htc drivers installed and push the correct stock rom to your phone using adb push or sideload.

@alray
oohh okay thanks, ill get that twrp, but do i have to change twrp version ? mine is 2.7-something, i'll download the correct ruu... i feel so stupid right now thanks, i really hope this works

There is no RUU you can flash for that version with s-on. Find a stock rom for your version. And better to use twrp 2.6.3.3
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

you can sideload a rom through adb while you're in twrp super easy and fast

@alray
oh okay ill look for a stock rom then

@2B_4G10
i know i tried sideload and push, but for some reason ADB doesnt want to work
i typed adb devices in command and it did show an empty list, no idea why...

hmm i tried flashing the stock rom,
i got this error

what does this mean ?
oh and after relocking, it gave me a signature check (remote : 12 ) fail... :/

Only RUU (Rom Update Utility) can be flashed with fastboot flash zip commands, not ROM even if the rom is a STOCK rom. RUUs and ROMS are 2 differents things. The RUU is a package containing the system(ROM), kernel, radio, bootloader, touch screen drivers and much more. It must be signed with HTC encrypted key to be flashed using "fastboot flash zip"
A ROM is a package including the system (/system) and the kernel (boot.img) and MUST be flashed from custom recovery, even if its a stock rom (like a guru reset rom or a stock odexed rom)
adb doesnt work on my device anymore... adb devices gives me an empty list...

Probably because your drivers are not installed correctly. this can be verified from Windows device manager. When the phone is booted in recovery, check that the phone is listed as a "android ADB interface".

@angizwa follow procedure linked at post #2

nope, no android ADB in my driver list when in recovery oO , but i can see android usb devices when in fastboot... i guess i have the wrong drivers... ill see if i can find them, i really hope that was the problem oO

you flash roms with custom recovery (TWRP) not with fastboot. Why did you relock the bootloader ? unlock it reflash TWRP 2.6.3.3 then sideload / Push the rom
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

@clsA
yes i tried sideload before, but as i said, my adb doesnt work... adb devices does show me an empty list ...

[Q] Htc One M7- deleted operating system. Relocked bootloader

Hi guys,
I have a big problem with my HTC One. I wanted to give it to the service, but it costs a lot of money, maybe I will find some help on XDA hopefully.
My bootloader info looks like this:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT- 1.57.0000
RADIO- 4T.27.3218.14

OS-5.11.401.10
eMMC-boot 2048MB
May 5 2014,23:16:29.0
I deleted my system partition in twrp recovery. I can get only to bootloader and recovery. I am S-ON all the time, cannot get S-OFF, I get errors all the time using rum runner or firewater. When I type fastboot oem lock, I am stuck in bootloader, cannot enter recovery. Then the bootloader says ***TAMPERED*** ***RELOCKED*** ***SECURITY WARNING***. I really don't know what to do, I'm stuck. Please help :C !!!
Thanks

You should remove your imei and serialno in your previous post. You can use this stock rom zip to go back to stock. It is the same version that you have. Your bootloader must be LOCKED or RELOCKED. Move the file to your adb/fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip. Open a command window on the same folder then type the following:
Code:
[B][I]adb reboot bootloader[/I][/B]
After that, type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

Thanks a lot @majmoz
I'm downloading zip file now (slow internet 2 hours remaining). I will try your method, and let you know how it went.

doesn't work ;/
@majmoz , it doesn't work .
I did everything you said and when flashing it says "FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)". Did this command 2 times as you instructed.
The second thing is that the "adb reboot bootloader" command didn't work, cmd said that device not found.
What should I do ?

Does you bootloader still say "Relocked"? Let try to run the stock firmware 5.11.401.10 using the same method, just rename the download to firmware.zip change the rom.zip in the procedure to firmware.zip.
For adb not working take a look at FAQ Q#2.

My bootloader says TAMPERED RELOCKED SECURITY WARNING
I don't think adb works in bootloader, right ?
The firmware.zip worked, (there was the green bar etc.), but the phone is still not rebooting into system.
hmm... there is no custom recovery anymore, just a phone with red sign. And in bootloader it says only tampered and relocked. Without security warning. @majmoz

You are correct adb does not work in bootloader. When the firmware completed it installed the stock recovery. Since you erased the system partition there is no OS installed. You can try to run the RUU again and it will probably pass now since you have the correct firmware. If this is successful, you will have stock rom and stock firmware on your phone.
What did you mean by give to service?

There is an unbrick service here in the forum

No no, I have a service nearby here in my town. They said they can restore the phone for $30.
I will try the RUU file now, hope it works. I'll be informing what is the status of my "operation" @majmoz @ajbiz11

@majmoz I don't think this zip can be flashed using "fastboot flash zip rom.zip", with s-on he can only flash signed ruu from HTC and afaik, htc never released any 5.11.401.10 signed ruu
There is a flashable aroma zip (guru reset) for his version here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543706
to be flashed with a custom recovery (require to unlock the bootloader again)

Yeah @alray , I need to have a 5.11.401.10 signed RUU, but there is no such file avaible to download.
Now, I will unlock my bootloader again, flash custom recovery (TWRP) , and try flash guru reset in this recovery.
Well, I don't really remember, but I think I tried this (maybe with not the same version of guru reset), but I was stuck on "Installation procces" It was 0 % all the time. Let's see how it works out this time with this version of guru.

@alray
I unlocked my bootloader, flashed TWRP, I used adb to push the .zip to sdcard, but the problem now is that the phone says that unable to mount '/data' and unable to mount internal storage. When I click mount in recovery the "data" box doesn't wanna tick .
What should I do ? I'm tired of this ...

Ok, what happened next... I finally did what @alray told me to do. I managed to fix the corrupted data partition, but as I said earlier, when I flash the guru reset in recovery, and start the installation process, it is stuck on 0.00%.
I unlocked the bootloader in order to do this.
No more ideas ? @majmoz ?

What version of TWRP are you using? 2.6.3.3 or 2.8.0.1? I'm pretty sure you checked the MD5 of the files you downloaded.

I'm using TWRP v2.8.0.2. What do you mean by saying you're pretty sure I checked the MD5? I didn't .. @majmoz

You should always check the MD5 of downloaded files to ensure they did not get corrupted during the downloading process. The MD5 is generally noted on the download site. Here is a how to check the MD5.

I also recommend to use 2.6.3.3 instead of 2.8+

Ohh my god, finally did it !!! Thank you a lot guys !!! I was trying guru reset earlier with unlocked bootloader too, but the twrp version was wrong... ohh, everything because of this new version of twrp.... But thanks, I have my system back . I will be able to do OTA updates now ?

To get OTA updates your phone must have stock rom, stock recovery, locked/relocked bootloader if S-ON and maybe some apps in the preload folder that were erased when you unlocked the phone. The quickest way is to run the RUU for your present version if it is 5.14.531.1 this is it. As I said earlier, if S-ON you have to lock your bootloader. If you need more help, please post a fastboot getvar all except for the imei and serialno.
Also, using a video for the M8 might not be the best since you have a M7.

Edit your post with the getvar all and remove the imei and serialno!
Which version of the stock recovery are you trying to update? Is it 3.24.531.3?
You are using these commands:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader[/I][/B]
You might also try the fastboot erase cache prior to and after the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

Yes, you should use 3.24.531.3 this is according to your version-main!

OK, Ill give that a shot. Should the update work with just the stock ROM or is there other stuff I have to convert back to stock as well?

Here is what the OTA is looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52894276&postcount=9
And here is how to manually install an OTA.

Updates Worked
Ok, Updates worked and I had more than one waiting it seems. That was it, was just using the wrong stock recovery.
Now it looks like i have lost my root... going to re-flash CWM recovery and see if that helps... if not I am not sure. SU says it no longer has root privilege. Do I have to totally redo rooting?

[SOLVED] [Q] Need help unrooting M7

Hi All,
I just need a bit of assistance with unrooting my HTC One M7.
I have searched online for over a week and have found tons of videos requiring me to download a RUU file – but I can't even find a page that tells me which RUU I should choose and how to check which one I need.
I've also read that I can't unroot my phone anymore because it's the S-ON version.
I'm really just after some assistance because at the moment, I can restore my phone back to stock through an old recovery image, but whenever I try to update it to Lollipop, it will download the update and once it reboots, it will reboot straight into TWRP and it doesn't get anywhere.
In bootloader, my settings come up as:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.57.0000
RADIO-4T.30.3218.21
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-6.11.980.12
eMMC-boot 2048MB
If it matters, I am based in Australia and my phone is not locked to any carrier.
Can anybody help me or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

What do you mean by unrooting? You only need to remove root (super user access)? Or you want your phone back to stock?

unrooting (removing super user access) doesn't require s-off. Going back to stock might require s-off . If you need to send the phone for warranty repair (to remove the tampered and unlocked/relocked flag from the bootloader you will need s-off. If you don't care about the tampered flag and the bootloader being unlocked or relocked instead of locked then you don't need s-off. You might also need s-off if there is no RUU available for your phone
And btw, s-on is not a phone version, its a bootloader security and it can be turned off (s-off), its not related to a version thing.

Because you must use stock recovery to flash ota updates.....not any custom recoveries.

So there is no RUU for your phone. The only thing you could do is to flash twrp recovery and then restore your phone using a nandroid backup of 6.11.980.12. Then you'll have to flash the 6.11.980.12 stock recovery over twrp recovery.You should then be 100% stock except for the unlocked and tempered bootloader and ready to take ota updates.
Twrp 2.8.6.0
6.11.980.12 nandroid backup
6.11.980.12 stock recovery
Download and save these 3 files in the same folder where adb and fastboot are installed on your computer.
So unlock your bootloader if its not already unlocked. How to unlock
Flash twrp recovery:
boot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. Open a command prompt four the same folder you have your fastboot /adb installed on your computer. Type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then boot in recovery (TWRP): bootloader --> recovery and hit power
Once in twrp select "backup", then select only the "boot" partition to backup and then swipe bottom slider to backup.
Once the backup is done, don't click on "reboot system" but click on the back arrow until your back in twrp main menu.
On your computer go to "My computer --> One --> Internal Storage --> TWRP --> BACKUPS --> (your phone serial number) --> (date of backup)". Inside this folder is the backup previously created of "boot". You should see 3 files: boot.emmc.win, boot.emmc.win.md5 and recovery.log. Delete these 3 files. Now extract all files from the 6.11.980.12 nandroid backup and move them to that folder were you deleted these 3 files.
in twrp select "restore"
choose your backup (date of backup)
Select all available partitions and then swipe the slider to restore.
After restore is complete, reboot the phone and confirm its working fine (first boot can take longer time 10-15 min)
If everything is fine, reboot the phone in bootloader fastboot usb mode again
flash the 6.11.980.12 stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery6.11.980.12.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
You're done! You should delete the backup files on your phone to save some storage: "My computer --> One --> Internal Storage --> TWRP --> BACKUPS --> (your phone serial number) --> (date of backup)"

Thanks so much alray! It worked and my OTA update worked as well. Much appreciated!
