[Q] Question about my radio... - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I handed my Silver M7 over to my wife and I picked up a newer Black M7 from someone at work. He has unfortunately patched up to 1.57, I can say that sunshine does in fact get you to S-Off , but past that I am confused about the radio that is loaded on this phone. 4T.27.3218.14 from what I understand is for Europe isn't it? I have noticed that this phone doesn't get reception as well as my old one. Shouldn't I be on 4A.21.3263.03 or 4A.17.3250.20? Please advise.
Also I cannot get anything past 2.6.3.3 from TWRP to load it just sits at "Entering Recovery..."

Since, you are on T-Mobile why not run the RUU 6.10.531.9 which will put you back at stock but with the latest radio. Afterwards, you can flash your custom recovery. The radio you have now is the TMO 5.XX.

Why would I run an RUU, can't I just change the radio?

Go to this site and download the latest radio and flash in recovery.
You stated you were having issues with TWRP, I thought it would be simpler to just run a RUU and reset everything. You could find the stock recovery and boot into it. While in stock recovery perform a Factory Reset and it will write to the recovery partition and clean it up. Then flash your custom recovery to see if it fixes the issue.

[Q] HELP!!! Unroot Attempt - Different Fastboot than the normal

Hello All,
Here's my dilemma. I successfully rooted my HTC One (AT&T), and was recently attempting to unroot it. I followed this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823. Since I have the AT&T version, I downloaded the first one the list found there, however it wouldn't verify. Next I downloaded the AT&T AIO here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242635. I was able to use that to figure out according to the info it displayed that I actually needed the Google Edition one from the previous link. I thought that was weird since I dont have the google edition one. But when I fast booted that one, everything appeared to go through with a hitch.....Until it restarted.
After it restarted, I only have a black screen. No start up. I restarted the phone and went into the bootloader and to my surprise, the bootloader was black instead of the normal white.
I've tried several RUUs found here http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=M7
I've tried both the exe and flashing the zip.
I have no clue what to try next. Please XDA, your my only hope.
Are you s-off? I would assume so if you've been able to run multiple RUUs and are getting weird signature results. What mods/roms did you do to your phone before you started all this?
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. You're on the 3.06 GE hboot, but it's not clear why you can't boot up.

Were you ever s-off? You should not have been able to run that GE RUU on an s-on AT&T phone.

You bought it new? Not used from someone else? If so, it was always s-on.
You're on GE firmware somehow. It's possible you have a conflict with your model or carrier ID. Can you run through the exact steps you took when you started trying to unroot? Exactly which files you used and how you ran them?

I received the phone directly from HTC through a sell to earn contest.
Not sure if it matters much but I unlocked the bootloader through HTC Dev.
To unroot,
1) Put phone in bootloader with fastboot
2) Relocked bootloader
3) fastboot oem rebootRUU
4) fastboot flash zip 2.24.401.1.zip (failed)
Used one of the AIOs that stated I had modelid: PN0712000 and cidnum: CWS__001. That when I grabbed the GE version.
5) fastboot flash zip 3.06.1700.10.zip
6) Phone finished, rebooted to a black screen
7) Rebooted into bootloader (Which is now black instead of white)
8) Sad ever since....
Where did you get that GE zip? I'm not sure why the AIO toolkit told you that you were GE but I'd like to check the file.
I suspect the problem is that you have 4.3 GE firmware but a 4.1 OS. Flashing a 4.2 or 4.3 rom might fix.

:facepalm: Just realized the issue.
Your bootloader is locked and you still have custom recovery installed, I'm guessing. Can you select Recovery in bootloader and see what happens? If you're still with TWRP or CWM, that's the issue; you can't boot locked on custom recovery.
You have to unlock again or flash the stock recovery in fastboot. Unlocking will wipe your phone, unfortunately.
Flashing recovery in fastboot is easy if you have the stock recovery file.

You are right about having the recovery option in the bootloader but when I try to select that option, Android shows up with the spinning blue thing in it's stomach, then it dies with a red triangle.
I'll try flashing the recovery again. After I find a stock recovery img. LOL
Thanks again!!!

Found the stock recovery. Attempted to flash it and got this:
sending 'recovery' <16303 KB>...
OKAY [ 1.786s]
writing 'recovery'...
<bootloader> signature checking...
FAILED <remote: 12 signature verify fail>
finished. total time: 3.178s
Is there a different way I should be doing it.
HTC One has the Gray HTC logo chilling on the screen...
Also tried in normal fastboot mode...

Actually, I think that red triangle is stock recovery. I think to get to the recovery options you press power+vol up on that screen. But it doesn't matter because clearly you're not on custom recovery.
I don't see that 3.06 firmware package in the OP of that thread. Can you find the post you found it attached to?

If you click on the download link in that post for the GE it downloads as that 3.06 firmware..
Also, not sure if it was smart or not but I unlocked the bootloader again to see if it would fix the conflicts you mentioned before. Haven't tried flashing anything yet...
ADD: I just successfully flashed the stock recovery.... Too scared to muck something up so I'll waif for your superior guidance!

I forgot Mike updated that link.
Okay, I see what you did now. You've essentially upgraded your phone to a GE because the android-info.txt in this official firmware matched your MID and CID; that allowed it to run. The problem is that you can't go back now because you're s-on. Your phone won't boot because you have the GE kernel installed but I assume a Sense rom.
This should be easy to fix. You can flash custom recovery now that you've unlocked, then flash a custom rom. This will get your kernel and rom consistent again and you should be able to boot.
Unrooting is a different story. You can't go back to the stock configuration you had when you got the phone without s-off, which you can't get on 1.54 hboot. I'm afraid you're stuck until AT&T releases 4.3 and you can run a RUU.

So no getting my white bootloader back till next release? That's ok.
However, how do I flash the custom ROM. I got the customer recovery going but I don't know how to get the ROM on there.... Flashing isn't working, still getting signature failures.
Sorry

You can only run a later firmware. When the signed 4.3 Sense firmware is released (it may be there now), you should be able to run that and get back the stock HTC bootloader.
You need to adb push the rom file onto your phone. There is a tutorial for doing it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

[Q] Help! Problems to unroot M7_UL!

Hello everyone,
This is my fisrt time writing in this forum, hope you guys can share some knowledge with me. Here is my issue:
I bought a HTC One to a guy a few weeks ago with barely no use. The thing is that I didn´t know at that time that the device was rooted with the MaximusHD. When I realized about it I reset my phone to factory settings and the new 4.3 3.22.1540.1 got installed. Thought it was ok but it is still doing some weird things so I decided to unroot the device to stock, also for warranty porpuses.
The problem comes when I try to download the RUU for my device due to I cannot find it. Should I do it through other method? Do I have to S-off to downgrade and install the RUU 1.29?
My phone is the following:
M7_UL PVT Ship S-On RH
Baseband 4A.17.3250.14
Hboot 1.54.0000
OpenDSP v31.120.274.0617
It is the european unlocked/international version bought in Spain.
I would really appreciate if someone could give a hand on this and guide me in through this process. I was an iPhone guy and now I'm freaking lost.
Thanks so much!

Your bootloader should already be unlocked, so simply get S-OFF using Rumrunner, then follow this guide.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried to s-off my htc but it hasnt worked. So I downloaded the recovery stock version and after installing it, the device told me that my phone doesnt appear to be rooted and if i wanted to install supersu, i declined and then made a recovery. Phone looks like unrooted, although within the bootloader it still shows "tampered" and "Unlocked". The recovery mode that the phone had installed has disappeared so I dont know what to do now, should I continue to s-off the device and then put it down to hboot 1.44 and follow the unroot guide???
I would like to make sure my device is unrooted in order to gain warranty privilages just in case i need to send out my phone to htc...
Thanks!

You don't really have a choice, unless you have the RUU for your phone. Can you post the results of "fastboot getvar all" so we can try to figure out what to do.

Just a quick note here, "version-main: <blank>" I never like that.
BTW, when posting "fastboot getvar all" it's preferably to remove IMEI and s/n; we don't need to see that.
You should probably get s-off as @attanasi0 suggested and then run a "HTC__304" downgrade RUU. (You can only downgrade if you're S-Off)
Just my two cents

Right, it shows just OS- but nothing else...when i bought it the guy had installed the MaximusHD 13 and I updated through OTA to the MaximusHD 20 but wasnt going smooth so I reset it to factory settings and It installed the JB 4.3 (3.22.1540.1).
Today after trying to s-off without success, I downloaded the recovery stock version for the rom I had and flashed it and the recovery mode that I had before disappeared and the baseband upgraded to 4A.20...instead of the 4A.17 that I had before that. Did the guy who sold me the htc messed it up? is there anything I can do to set my device to factory settings?

Well from the information available, you have
- hboot 1.54
- m7_ul
- PN0710000
- CID HTC__304
this would lead me to assume you have a 2.24.401.x based phone.
I would try to get one of the following Guru Reset ROM:
2.24.401.8 : http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
2.24.401.1 : http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-1-zip/
flash one of them in recovery, then follow the rumrunner steps to try to achieve S-Off.
If that is successful, then you can downgrade back to stock, using this RUU (exe): http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
check your "fastboot getvar all" after that.
Once you've done all that you can use revone (or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792) to remove "TAMPERED"
and also revone (or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914) to get you're phone "LOCKED" if you so wish

Thanks for the help. I have downloaded the Rom you gave me the link for but I dunno how to flash it due to I lost access to the teamwin recovery mode and when I click recovery onto the bootloader it goes to a black screen with a caution simbol in red and I have to reboot it.
I have tried with the goomanager to flash that rom but it doesnt let me. Any advice in this regard? I can tell goomanager to find an open recovery script (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-m7.img), should i do this? Or Im gonna end up with a bricked phone?

"black screen with a caution simbol in red" that's stock recovery, you need to flash back a custom recovery. download (if you dont have one) from the xda threads, then enter bootloader (shut off phone, hold POWER + VOLDOWN) enter FASTBOOT, connect to PC and it should change to FASTBOOT USB
then
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY
then "install ZIP" in Aroma, deselect "stock recovery" so you don't need to flash it again.

No problem, TWRP you mentioned should work just fine. It's the same as installing a custom ROM. I havent used TWRP but it should say something like "install zip", then find the zip and flash away.
Hopefully, that will give you a chance to successfully run rumrunner; remember to read and follow the instructions to the letter!
Good luck and keep us posted (fingers crossed)

Well I installed the custom recovery, then flashed the stock rom 2.24.401.8 as you told me. Once I did that I ran rumrunner successfully gainning S-off.
Now I have to run the RUU but the one you suggested me is the "RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.28.401.7 Radio 4A.13.3231.27 10.31.1131.05 Release 310878" but my radio is 4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L. Should I try to install it anyways? I've taken a look at the rest of RUUs and none fits my features...
btw every time I flash the stock version at the end it tells me that my phone doesnt appear to be rooted and if i want to install supersu, i always say no and after that my recovery always goes to stock, i guess it is normal, isnt it?

Go ahead and flash it, it will downgrade everything (now possible thanks to S-Off), and you will then receive the latest OTA package(s) to get to the most current version including radio.

Done!!!!! Sweet!! it worked just fine! Tampered disappeared and bootloader only shows unlocked. I have to relock it, havent I? That wouldnt mess up with my carrier right? It is just for locking the bootloader, isnt it?
Well many many thanks for your help, I couldnt have done it without it and I have learnt so much through the process Soon I'll be ready to re-root the phone again and try some custom roms hehe
Peace and greetings from Spain!

you should set it to LOCKED not RELOCKED using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914

anyway, don't why anybody would want to be on stock ROM

Hey! I have tried to lock it but after typing adb shell I get this "[email protected]:\ $" instead of the # that you are getting. I've tried to type "su" after that but it says that the command cannot be found. Also, when I type the code "echo -ne..." it says that I have permission denied so dunno what to do now...
Im asking in the lock/unlock threat but they just told me that its because im not rooted and that i have to install a recovery and install superuser in order to be able to introduce the code, dont really understand why I have to root it afer unrooted it :S

You should have LOCKED it before running the RUU, because that's what made you loose root.
So before proceeding, can you give me an update of your status:
bootloader: locked/relocked/unlocked?
tampered?
ROM?
"fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)

[Q] update issue

Hello all I am a noob getting into the game, I am trying to get my m7 to update with no luck. I have an AT&T branded One running on versio 1.26.502.15 . I have tried all the little tricks to get it to find them, but nadda. I have been reading into all the resets, RUUs, and OTAs and honestly I'm just more confused. From what I read about manually installing OTAs, I haven't been able to find the right one to upgrade my version. I just want to get up to date with Android and Sense. If anybody could just point me in the right direction I would be so thankful. If there's any other info needed I'll get it up here.

do you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer? If yes, post the output of fastboot getvar all except the imei # and the serialno #
at&t phone must be connected to the at&t network to receive ota update, are you on at&t?
manually installing ota update require s-off, your phone is currently s-on. good new is its "pretty easy" to s-off on hboot 1.44, ok maybe not that easy for a new user but you should be able to s-off if you need to by following revone s-off guide.
if you are not on at&t network:
easiest solution (imo):
unlock the bootloader (this void warranty)
flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
flash the guru reset rom 5.12.502.2
or
more complicated but better (imo):
unlock bootloader
flash twrp recovery 2.6.3.3
root
s-off using revone
flash the latest ruu (4.18.502.7)
manually flash ota updates from 4.18.502.7 to 5.12.502.2
update issue
Thank you for the info I don't have adb fastboot installed guess I'll need to start there, I am using the new cricket gsm network which if I'm correct uses AT&T towers but I guess that's why I was unable to get the updates because I'm not actually on AT&T. Will I still need to get s-off with the first solution or not ? Thanks again for the help, I'll get on it and let you know how it goes.

Could you tell me where to find the 5.12.502.2 reset Rom, I went to HTC guru and could not find it in the list, also what are your thoughts on the twrp 2.7, I read a few comments about it and seemed like people were having trouble with it on their One's, I wondered if it would be better to have the new version or if I should just stick with the other one. Thanks again for the help.

better to stick with 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 unless you want to experiment. there is a charging bug with 2.7.0.0 and it looks like there are also some other bugs with 2.7.1.0 for flashing roms, not sure if it was solved in 2.7.1.1. use 2.6.3.3 or .3.4 and youll be fine.
and no, you dont need s-off to use the reset rom. but a reset rom will not update all the firmware, you'll get an updated rom(software), on the hardware side, only recovery and radio will be updated (if you choose to flash stock radio and recovery at the reset rom installation). hboot will not be updated using this solution.
do a nandroid backup of your current config, just in case you need to restore if something goes wrong.

After lots and lots of research into this before doing I've decided to go with viperone custom Rom, if I understand it right I won't have to mess with s-off for this,please correct me if I'm wrong. But I have found some conflicting instructions, I read somewhere that I will have to copy the boot.img from the Rom and flash it before flashing the Rom then others without that step, so I'm confused, I wanna male sure I do this right the first time. Also are there any files that I need to have updated before flashing a 4.4 sense 6 custom Rom or will it all be included in the Rom?
Thank you

Hi there
Been a long time since I've posted and hope I'm in the right place. Did a search for my question and wound up here.
My phone is stock and s-on, I haven't done anything to it, it's exactly the same as when it came out the box, but I haven't been able to update the software in settings>about>software updates for a while now, it just keeps coming back with download unsuccessful. Any ideas how I can sort this, or do it another way?
Thanks in advance

[Q] HTC one m7 brick. Viper Rom v7.0.1. Kernel Elementalx.

I had just installed Viper Rom v7.0.1 and noticed my calls were not going through (HBOOT 1.44). I read that I should try installing a custom kernel. I decided on ElementalX. Unfortunately, I installed the NON Sprint version.
This created a boot loop.
I can get to TWRP recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, reinstall ViperRom (also tried Bad Boyz and Stock with Goodies which were already on SD card), but with the same result. I cannot get the computer to recognize the device long enough to get the correct kernel pushed on the device.
TWRP is updated. And I tried sideloading to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Also, the loop goes all the way through the Android App optimization, goes to the lock screen, but once I unlock, it shows the HTC boot screen, THEN it reboots...

it depends what partition got messed up by the kernel

Thanks for the reply! I've never had to RUU back to stock.... A quick google search says (since I'm s-on, HTC unlocked bootloader) my current firmware has to be lower than the RUU? Is this true, and could you elaborate? How do I find this inf?

a look at your bootloader would tell what version your OS is
or a fastboot getvar all (minus serial no. and IMEI) would help
the latest RUU > Sprint 5.xx RUU

ATT M7 unlocked via htcdev and rooted: BAD FLASH

Hey guys. So I flashed Android 4.4.3 (KitKat) - latest official HTC One 6.09.401.12 (WWE) firmware (84.x series) to my Att HTC M7. I unlocked bootloader and rooted prior to that. Installed TWRP recovery. I didn't back up my original OS nor do a nandroid back up.
When I first flash it was 1/2 ok. I was able to get to the setup wizard on the rom. Then it reboot to recovery. All I can get is bootloader and recovery.
in order for adb sideload or just adb to work the steps I have to take are peculiar. I stumbled on this today. I have to connect my usb cable when the M7 is off. I boot into the bootloader via *power button and *volume down. Then I select fastboot, then I go back and select recovery. When it boots to recovery then I touch advanced and my device shows up. Also my OTG connection works fine.
So I downloaded the stock version odexed. I get errors on install. Actually I get errors trying to install any rom now. I've tried to unzip and rezip using winrar. Any clues as what I should try now? I wanted to post a pic of my bootloder info and the error message but alas I dont have 10 post.

You won't receive ota update on an at&t phone if you are not on the at&t network.
What is your custom recovery version?
I would achieve s-off using Sunshine so you can fully convert your phone to another version which doesn't require a specific carrier to receive update like the WWE version (x.xx.401.x) or the Developer version (x.xx.1540.x)

So I achieved s off using Sunshine. Changed cid and mid to corresponding t-mobile spec. Flashed the RUU for t-mobile from the HTC website download. Now when I flash the RUU I suppose it takes out my recovery and flashed a stock recovery?
I had TWRP but now I have some weird recovery. Last time I went into it and I rebooted out it factory reset my HTC. Pain in the ass more than anything.
I was thinking I could flash a ROM and see if it performs as or better than the RUU. The only benefit of using the stock tmobile is OTA updates right?
Oh and since I don’t have twrp anymore should can I reflash that? I would like to make a backup of my OS before I start screwing around.

Yes, a ruu will re-write all stock software and firmware to the phone (system, recovery, kernel, radio, bootloader, drivers, and so on)

You can't do much using stock recovery except a factory reset. Stock recovery is needed for ota updates but if you are already on last version you don't reallt need it anymore and you can reflash twrp over it.

If you already flashed the latest t-mobile ruu (lollipop), you will not receive any more ota updates. Lollipop 5.0.2 Sense 6 should be the last version for the M7. At least flashing the ruu was not a waste of time since it upgraded your firmware; newer custom roms requires the latest firmware to work properly.

Yep I would relfash twrp and make a backup before trying other toms. You can always revert back to stock using the same ruu if you don't have a backup.
