[Q] How do I get my phone operable again? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Sorry to start another thread like this, but I've read and tried everything I can find on here and nothing seems to be working, in fact I seem to have made things worse.
Long story short I did the whole HTC dev unlock thing and all was fine, then I installed TWRP and pushed SuperSU, after this my phone would boot up and run for about 1 minute then reboot and go through the same routine (I let this go on for a few hours before I gave up)
Since I have tried installing different ROMs and changed the Recovery several times but I am in a position where I can boot into recovery but nothing else, unfortunately I don't even seem to be able to install any ROMs any more, I just pushed ARHD to the phone but as soon as I try to install it TWRP comes back with a failed message.
I'm sure this situation must be recoverable as I can still access recovery and fastboot but I seem to be going round in circles at the moment and getting nowhere so any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated, if there is any specific information that you need then just ask.

you'll most likely have to format data and push the file to the phone again. This will wipe the entire phone same as a RUU

Afaik ARHD must be installed using twrp 2.6.3.3 (higher versions of twrp are not compatible, or at least, they are not all compatible)
flash twrp 2.6.3.3
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then in twrp selsect "install", browse your phone storage to find your ARHD zip file, select it and then swipe to flash.
If this fail again, format data like cisa said above, but you'll have to push the rom to your phone storage again.

Installed TWRP from your link fine, tried to install ARHD which failed so from TWRP I did Wipe / Format Data and now everytime I try and push the rom back to the phone I get the message protocol failure after about 3 minutes or so.

What was the error code in twrp?
What is your adb version?
Do you have latest HTC drivers installed?
Are you using a usb 2.0 ports? Maybe try another usb port/cable.
Have you checked MD5 value of your rom/recovery files?

After you done wipe/format data. Did you reboot the phone to recovery?
You have to do this to write the new file system.
If it's still failing after reboot. Disable HTC sync or better still uninstall it if you don't use it.

If you found my posts helpful, Please click thanks :good:

Thanks to all of you who responded, it turns out I've got 6 different versions of ADB on my PC due to various toolkits and things I've downloaded for my different devices, I also only have USB 3 ports on this machine but when I changed ADB version it worked, so again thanks to you all :good:

[Q] please help me restore my One

Good day all
I have been running CM 10.2 on my One for some months. Recently its started playing up so ive decided to go back to stock.
Ive googled the process. Fastboot works OK and see's my One connected OK.
Im having issues figuring out what RUU I should be downloading. Initially I went for RUU_M7_U_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.2
After a number of minutes it failed and said something like it cannot use this on my phone. My phone is a UK purchased unlocked device. Can anyone point me at the correct RUUI should download?
Looking at the fastboot screen I can see that my OS is 2.24.401.8
hboot is 1.54.0000
Please, any pointers to get a stock OS installed and my device booting again.

You can flash this (compatible with your firmware, CID & MID): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
if you want to receive OTAs, you'll need to select "stock recovery" (which will overwrite custom recovery).

If you have unlocked bootloaders then download twrp or cwm and rename to recovery put the file in the fastboot folder.
Then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this will flash the custom recovery.

Do one thing install a custom rom like ARHD etc. and then S-off your phone using rumrunner.
This is going to be one of those jobs that just fails and all I end up with is a bricked phone.
I am a mac user and was using a windows XP VM to communicate with me phone using fast boot... When I try to push a recovery image XP fails badly and reboots...
I can't boot camp my mac because I'm running without a CD drive and boot camp needs a CD drive before installation.
Any tips on how to get my phone sorted using a mac?

1- just use mac versions of fastboot & adb, i believe you can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
(or google for them)
2- do you care about having your phone "out-of-the-box"? that entails much more work.Can you live with an UNLOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader, and possibly the TAMPERED sign?
3- if you don't care about ^^ (2), then just use the Guru Reset ROM, i linked before.
get adb and fastboot working on mac, then in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery
adb push <name of guru>.zip /data/media/0/
then in recovery choose "install" and select the Guru Reset ROM.
Ok so i reloaded the recovery image. Rebooted and hey presto Cyanogenmod 10.2 loaded again. Phone is now working BUT I would still like to go back to stock.
With that in mind I followed your instructions above and tried to load the Guru zip on to the SDCARD. The ADB process finishes and it says its copied the file over but I can never seem to find it whe i load the recovery and try to install from a zip file.
Questions. Am I right in thinking I can continue to load the Guru zip to attempt to get back to stock?
What am i doing wrong?

if your phone is booting up again
just copy the guru.zip to the phone storage from your mac
no need to "push" if your phone is booting up
To confirm, I am now copying the zip over.
Is there a chance of me bricking the phone again or will the Guru zip return the phone to stock and allow OTA updates?

yeah the Guru reset was designed to put the phone back to stock
it uses an Aroma installer .. choose Stock Recovery to be able to receive OTA in the future. but you won't be able to flash any custom roms or Root with the stock recovery
that seemed to do the trick. phone is back stock.
after initial setup t imediately downloaded and installed a small update. rebooted and then asked to download another 4.3 675mb big update. that one seemed to reset the devce to new again. after setup the 2nd time i can see it didnt work as the phone was as if i had just completed the guru install...
thoughts?

Wow, sounds like a headache! If I understand you, the problem may have started when you tried to install a .zip from HTC (a.k.a., RUU), instead of a custom ROM packaged as a .zip? (The formatting is very different, and I don't know what CWM/TWRP will do when given the wrong type.) Does this sound right? If so:
When the phone is booted into TWRP, can the computer detect it with "adb devices"? (You need to install the appropriate drivers, and install ADB, and run it properly so it doesn't just say "command not found".)
If I misunderstood your problem, have you tried using TWRP to back up your data, wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, then reboot and wait 5 minutes for the phone to boot the first time?

Seems like maybe you don't have the right drivers. Your phone isn't being detected. No ADB stuff (push or sideload) will work until you sort that out. (I don't use Windows, so I can't help much when it comes to driver info.)

2- then:
get TWRP from:

or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
(make sure MD5 is correct, that site does not play nice with download managers)
2.7.0.4b: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708134
in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery, now trwp, if adb devices doesn't show your phone, then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52135024&postcount=2
and fix Windows Device Manager as mentioned in FAQ#2, then you can continue.

[HELP] Soft Brick M7wls

Okay, so yesterday I came into an HTC One that was on Sprint. I have an AT&T micro sim so naturally I went to work to root, s-off, etc. so I could Simunlock it. I did it all and then started to install a custom rom. Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. got stuck in a bootloop, went to wipe cache and accidentally wiped the whole system and everything pretty much.
I think something is wrong with the partitions. Maybe some corrupted data along the line with all my..mess ups.
I should've researched more before I delve into this and I'm getting a lot of knowledge out of this but it's not enough.
It would be highly appreciated if someone could help me out. I've read countless threads, tried to redo the RUU or something. Nothing to avail and I can't sideload because my adb won't work in cmd for some reason.

Okay, so yesterday I came into an HTC One that was on Sprint. I have an AT&T micro sim so naturally I went to work to root, s-off, etc. so I could Simunlock it. I did it all and then started to install a custom rom. Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. got stuck in a bootloop, went to wipe cache and accidentally wiped the whole system and everything pretty much.
I think something is wrong with the partitions. Maybe some corrupted data along the line with all my..mess ups.
I should've researched more before I delve into this and I'm getting a lot of knowledge out of this but it's not enough.
It would be highly appreciated if someone could help me out. I've read countless threads, tried to redo the RUU or something. Nothing to avail and I can't sideload because my adb won't work in cmd for some reason.
here's a lil info from the getvarall command from the All in One Kit exe:

serialno:

commitno-bootloader: dirty-4dab9d12

If you need more info, just ask. I'll do all I can, but I'm pretty novice with this. *sigh*

dont post IMEI, MEID and SERIALNO
if you have used a toolkit from this forum, you probably have flashed an incompatible recovery and rom for a gsm variant (yours is cdma-sprint)
you'll have to flash a sprint (m7wls) recovery, format everything and then push and install a sprint rom

thanks for sharing this guide:good:, but this is for the M7_U and UL. OP can use the guide but must make sure to flash a M7WLS recovery, not that one linked in the guide.

he will need to wipe + format data from recovery. flashing the wrong recovery probably screwed is data partition.

I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 and as far as I know it's for M7wls. It won't let me mount cache or anything anymore. When I'm attempting to use adb the device won't show up on the list and I can't find it at all so I can't push roms over even with minimal adb and fastboot.
Is there something I'm missing?
I just miss having an OS so much.. lool

I can't get ADB to work for the life of me. I tried uninstalling HTC Sync, reinstalled drivers, then tried to install drivers in device manager.
Don't i have to have an OTG USB for adb to even work in cmd..?

Did fastboot work and did you install twrp 2.6.3.0 successfully? If yes, did you boot into recovery before checking ADB Devices? If no, then try booting into recovery and follow the steps @alray laid out for you. And no, you don't need a OTG cable to use adb commands you just need the USB cable attached to your computer and phone.
If you are stuck with a wiped system partition, then there is no android there for ADB to talk to. From the Bootloader, you need to use fastboot commands to flash a new recovery first. Are you in the bootloader? Do you have fastboot connectivity in the bootloader? Flashing a proper recovery suited to m7wls should fix your partitions and get you on the way to a successful rom flash.

Yes I wiped the system partition somehow in all of this. I have TWRP 2.6.3.0, I've tried from the recovery main menu like it says. Nothing.
adb devices comes up with no list.
adb usb says it cannot find it.
and fastboot works with recovery images, but it won't load a zip.
sooo it's probably my drivers or..?
cause adb is the only thing I need working to fix all of this, I believe. -__-

[Q] Error 171 on my htc one while running RUU

After months of thinking it through, i finally decided to give up on sense and try cyanogenmod... horrible desicion. I tried the installer and according to to the installer itself the install had concluded without error and all i had to do now was wait for my device to boot. When booting my device off andd after 5 minutes of beeing stuck in a bootloop, i realized that something had gone horribly wrong. I found many solutions online, but ended up narrowimg down to 2 options: wipe data/ factory reset and wipe dalvik through CWM or running a ruu to go bavk to stock and retry from there. Tried doing the wipe but i kept getting the error "Cant mount data" so i pretty much gave up on that option and went for running the RUU. Succesfully locked my bootloader again and all that was left for me to do was run the ruu and wait for my htc one to be running sense again! While going through the installer, i got an error at around the" 1/5" part of the ruu install (i used an exe) which said "error 171, check usb connection" and i also simultaniously got a pop up window that said "htc_fastboot.exe has stopped working" . At this point i really dont know what to do. PLEASE! Someone help me!

I think it's down to Windows 8 - fastboot isn't detecting the drivers Which is why it fails with error 171
Have you tried again with a Windows 7 PC?

Does fastboot work normally or does it only fail when running an RUU, if that's the case uninstall HTC Sync if you have it installed. But leave drivers installed. HTC sync is known to cause problems with RUU's
But there is no RUU that will work for you since your device is s-on and on the latest firmware. Downgrading is not possible with s-on. At this point the best you can hope for is to flash a custom rom. At least you can get the phone booting that way.
Do if adb/fastboot is working normally just push a Rom and install it. If you can't get adb/fastboot working on your Windows 8 pc try my mini guide here to create a bootable Linux pen drive.

You can't use this RUU on your phone because its an older version. You need s-off to flash lower version RUU. You will need to either s-off your phone or restore it using a nandroid backup of 6.07.1540.1 or flash another custom rom like Danny suggested above. Look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355992 you might found a nandroid backup of that version. If you can find it just tell me and I'll upload mine for you. I also have the stock recovery for that version if needed.
to install cyanogenmod you need a recovery with block:by-name support like newer version of TWRP.

Also download gapps rename it to gapps.zip and place it in your fastboot folder.
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/gapps/PA/pa_gapps-stock-4.4.3-20140608-signed.zip
Boot your phone to cwm recovery and connect usb. Do a factory reset then in the command window type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Wait for the push to compmete
Code:
adb push gapps.zip /sdcard
again wait for completion, it's normal for the command window to appear unresponsive until the push completes.
Now use cwm to install the Rom.zip followed by gapps.zip.

He also asked me (via PM) a TWRP nandroid backup of stock 6.07.1540.1 which I have uploaded for him yesterday.
No update yet, still don't know if the OP will flash the rom or restore the nand but I think he wants to flash the rom (but have the nand just in case).

[Q] How to restore original ROM from CM11

Hi,
I am running CM 11 on my M7 (rooted, usb debugging on,S-On). Question is how to restore original ROM on the same phone. I tried Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA but phone goes in bootloop.

Guru reset posted by @clsA should work. What recovery are you using to flash it? Did you check MD5? The nandroid should also do the job but this will not flash stock recovery back like the reset rom. If you want to restore the nandroid backup instead of using the reset rom, you could extract the recovery from cIsA's reset rom and flash it after restoring the backup. Stock recovery for your version is also available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545227

The only reason you would get a bootloop is by using an old recovery ...update to TWRP 2.6.3.3 and your be fine.
Someone in the thread also suggested a factory reset after restoring the nandroid.

You pretty well covered it ... I'm betting on an old version of CWM or TWRP was the problem.

@clsA and @alray.. I have been using TWRP 2.8.0.2 from here
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-m7.img
I am facing issues with adb in older versions of TWRP. (tried on two systems)
I couldn't find the md5 at the download location. Also during installation I tried with and without stock recovery, with and without wipe, with and without radio but no luck. I am facing bootloop issues even after nandroid restore (from my original post). In both cases of guru reset and nandroid restore I do perform factory reset.
As a matter of fact I have never been able to install any ROM other than CM11 after the phone crashed last week. (ClsaA might actually remember me by now since I am troubling him/her since last week ��

Then you might want to downgrade to 2.6.3.3... worth a try...
MD5 of the reset rom: 3b4013265e9134bc6916cf3c5fd14406
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then try the reset rom again.

@alray.. I am going to try that but last time I tried I wasn't able to use adb. On upgrading to current version I was able to use adb so I guess it may not be drivers issue since at least one version of twrp worked.
I downloaded from here and it has the md5 you mentioned

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-m7.img
I am facing issues with adb in older versions of TWRP. (tried on two systems)
I couldn't find the md5 at the download location. Also during installation I tried with and without stock recovery, with and without wipe, with and without radio but no luck. I am facing bootloop issues even after nandroid restore (from my original post). In both cases of guru reset and nandroid restore I do perform factory reset.

I do remember, But I'm a little distracted, i got an M8 last night
got the sim card for it today (damn nano sim) and have been doing s-off and all the updates tonight.
Luckly most everything i have learned with the M7 transfers over to the M8 (just a bunch of new files to download )

LOL.. I got my M8 last Friday. Trying to stay away from S-Off until M7 issues are solved. Once M7 is off the hook then M8 is next. Please post the ROM asap so that I can start playing. I am in software testing so I can't wait for long

well you only need adb to push the rom to your phone once! If you flash twrp 2.6.3.3, the rom will still be on your /sdcard so you'll only need to install it from recovery, no adb required.

@alray and @clsA.. well none of the above worked. I also tried Arhd 81 but still getting bootloop. I also tried flashing ElementalX kernel sheer out of frustration but got bootloop again. Looks like the only thing that's working stable is CM nightly builds. I also tried S-Off while CM was running with Rumrunner and firewwater but as usual no luck. I REALLY need to get this device back to original rom ( I don't care even if I need to go back all the way to 4.3,4.2 if it's easier to upgrade from there. Please please advise.

So you have
wiped everything + format data using your first recovery
then you have pushed arhd 81 to your phone
flashed twrp 2.6.3.3
erased fastboot cache
rebooted bootloader
rebooted in recovery mode (2.6.3.3)
installed the rom
and it still bootlooping?
You also have checked MD5 sum of twrp 2.6.3.3 and ARHD 81 before flashing?
@alray.. I just now tried again with exact same steps in sequence flashing arhd 81 installation failed (when it finished it said set metadata recursive and that some permissions failed. Then it keeped going in a bootloop). I tried flashing CM11 nightly build of 10/19 with gapps and it worked like a charm. I have no idea why only CM is able to get installed and rest others are failing.
PS: I don't NEED to get ahrd working on the phone. My ultimate goal is to get 4.4 running on M7. Do you think downgrading hboot can help since there are lots of posts that talk about downgrading it.
And for now I am downloading Google play edition of arhd and going to give it a try. (Pretty soon I am going to announce a prize for whoever gets my phone working )

Probably because you are using a higher version than 2.6.3.3 CM11 is known to work only with 2.7.0.8+

You need s-off for that rom! Read the OP!

@alray.. so you suggest I stick to twrp 2.6.3.3 and install guru reset again? I guess best way is to copy guru reset while CM11 is running. Then flash 2.6.3.3 and install guru reset (of course after cache clear etc.) ?

yes its mandatory to use 2.6.3.3 for ARHD !
So yes you can transfer your rom to your phone storage (/sdcard) while on CM11 if its easier for you
then flash twrp 2.6.3.3 (not 2.6.3.0 nor 2.7.+ nor 2.8+, only 2.6.3.3!!)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then reboot in twrp recovery and confirm your version is now 2.6.3.3
select "install" then your ARHD zip and swipe to flash!
I also assume that you already have checked MD5 on all your downloads (TWRP image and ARHD zip?) to confirm that they are not corrupted?

@alray.. dumb question... I can simply follow same procedure for guru reset so that I can get original 4.4.2 rom back? How if I flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and then restored guru nandroid backup.

@alray and @clsA... Like many other times even after using twrp 2.6.3.3-m7 and flashing guru reset through it I coud not get any success. However, I saved logs this time and looks like there are some errors. Can you please take a look at the attached file and advise if there are any steps not required/I am not doing correctly.

I see like 4 or 5 simlink errors
Pretty meaningless.
The guru reset installs and updates are still untested ( no updates from AT&T)
I don't remember everything you have tried. But do the factory reset again from the stock recovery. Flash the 5.x.502 firmware again see what happens
@clsA If I use a non-working SIM card uring flashing or install then will it be a problem. I got a new SIM card with my new M8 and the one in M7 is deactivated. ( I guess it won't make much difference)_.
