[Q] Issues loading a custom recovery

Hey Guys, I've been trying to load a custom recovery onto my One for all of the nandroid-y goodness but have encountered an issue.
Essentially, I'm unable to get the device to boot into recovery mode - The bootloader has been unlocked and flashing to recovery via fastboot seems to complete with no issues - It's just that selecting 'Recovery' from the bootloader, or running 'adb reboot recovery' results in the device booting back into Android after another white screen comes up briefly, followed by the normal HTC splash screen. (There's some text at the bottom - it's gone pretty quickly, but I think that it's "This build is for development purposes..."),
What I've done so far:
Unlocked Bootloader
Attempted to flash TWRP and CWM\Touch. Confirmed MD5 of all files prior to flashing. (Same issue exists with all)
Run 'fastboot erase cache' after the flash (as per some suggestions in other threads on this board)
Lots of googling and forum searches.
And, now, in case it's needed, as many details about the device as I can give, not sure what will be helpful here, but too much is better than too little...
Bootloader identifies it as a M7_UL,
Model is HTC One 801s
CID is TELST001
Device is still S-ON (Though I understand with an unlocked bootloader I should be able to flash recovery regardless, right?)
fastboot getvar version-main = version-main: 1.29.841.2
I've unfortunately come up with nothing so far and I don't think that I've missed anything obvious. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction here?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Help me unbrick my htc one please?

im a HTC one user. Currently on a formatted sd card. that is, no android rom or software. All I have right now on my phone is an unlocked bootloader 1.54
CWM Recovery Touch v6.0.3.6
I am familiar with pushing roms from mac through adb commands on the sd card. learnt that when i bricked it last time. this time, i cant understand the problem. Umm.. I updated my ARHD rom to 4.3 stock google one from 4.2.2 sense based roms. After that, i remember, going through several roor related issues. So i tried switching roms. i tried flashing various roms but i couldnt get any of em to work. i tried flashing roms after wiping cache and everything recommended, but every rom got stuck on reboot. except the nandroid backup. nandroid backup worked fine. so i tried formatting the sd card as well and flashing a rom after pushng it by adb commands. i think i have problems with my root access. i tried flashing cwm recovery all over again through fastboot, but it still boots up randomly. and im still stuck on the google splashup screen. it keeps rebooting and getting stuck on the splashup screen and doesnt get past that to the htc reboot screen. I dont know what to do. splash up screen doesnt let me access adb commands. and i think i have improper root access as whenever i try to reboot from cwm recovery, it warns me about the su binary and then gets stuck stuck in a loop again.
please help me guys?

If you are unlocked but still S-ON...use revone to make it S-OFF
Than:
1) hold power button until the phone force reboots and in the meantime press vol - button to get into bootloader
2) now go to fastboot and plug the phone to the pc
3) through command line "fastboot writecid 11111111"
4) reboot bootloader
5) now you have supercid, flash any RUU and start using again your HTC one
I think it should work, sorry for my bad english

i did some research on xda again before flashing the RUU !! I just wanted to know if i can flash any RUU or should i look for my area's RUU, that is, asia or worldwide one. and i have s-off, HBOOT-1.54, and i have superCID too! already! should i go ahead with flashing the RUU? some threads stated that i cant do it on 1.54?

i know that with supercid you can flash any RUU beacuse it bypasses the normal country control during the istallation of the program...
now, i don't know if you cant flash anything with the 1.54 hboot, but i dont think so. according to me, you can try to flash and in the worst case the istallation wont start...but obviously is your phone and your decisone, just as it is your responsability

Since you're S-Off and SuperCID you can flash any RUU, so just go ahead and you won't loose S-Off either.
The 1.54 restrictions only apply if you're not S-Off, because S-On won't allow you to downgrade. Since you're S-Off it will allow the RUU downgrade.

Being s-off means you can flash anything, even stuff not for this phone. So be careful.

[Q] HTC one reboots - Regardless of rom flashed

Hello everyone,
I've got a weird issue where I can recovery/fastboot/adb just fine.
But no matter what rom I install on my HTC One it boots up to a certain point (past the HTC logo to a midpoint of google boot up logo, sometimes into the os)
I had GPE 4.3
I tried to install 4.4 with the new radios. (S-Off)
It messed up once, I re-flashed cwm (had twrp) through fast boot - tried GPE 4.3 again .. still rebooting
re-flashed through fast new twrp again (just in case) - did advanced wipe - tried both roms still the same thing.
I've tried adb push and sideload.
Am I overlooking something here ? Any help or point to some reading material would be greatly appreciated.
I've been searching and searching and it seems most in similar situations can adb sideload roms when internal storage is not accessible and be right back up. I m stil stuck in the boot loop.
Currently downloading htc one sense 4.4. if I could get GPE 4.4 to work it'd be great.
Thank You in advance.

also flashing rom's doesn't update radios .. flashing radios or firmware updates radios

are you doing fastboot erase cache after updating the recovery ?

As you are S-off, run a full RUU to remove any problematic flashes.

Thank you for the replys.
I've tried this fastboot cache erase .. didnt work
ruu is quite hard to find for Rogers HTC one (so far no luck ../ found some old ones links broken ... will keep looking)
I also got a chance to try and flash htc stock sense 5.5 with 4.4 kitkat from here:
(durm it .. can't post outside links yet sorry ..)
Phone still reboots before fully getting to os.
Weirdly enough, if I turn it off during this cycle. It turns back on by itself too.
So far to stop the loop, I have to boot to recovery (TWRP currently) and lock it.
I am guessing I should find a way to S-ON then flash an older rom.
Anything else I could try? :fingers-crossed:
Thank You everyone.

try this TWRP Nandroid Backup
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-twrp-nandroid-backup-cid-roger001-3-22-631-1-zip/
To use – download the latest version of the needed recovery and install it via fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
or
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
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

That nandroid backup method did take me the furthest so far.
(did wipe before doing it also)
The phone went into the os ... but only to reboot about 30 seconds later.
On the second reboot .. it said an app is asking for super user permission, before i could select allow or anything,
the phone has been boot looping again.
Weird.

try wiping everything and try again

hi clsA,
thank you for replying.
I did try that, still bootloops. I also further tried:
install teaMseven - sense55 - kk - v2.3.6 with the new stock sense 5.5 rom flashed first.
I forgot to mention earlier, I did flash a radio after initially trying to upgrade to GPE 4.4.
The radio flashed was: RadioUpdate_4T.21.3218.21_10.16.1718.01L.zip
only because it was mentioned i'd get a boot loop going to GPE 4.4 without that update.
Theres no sim in the tray, could this radio update be causing this ? I tried re-downloading this radio for a fresh copy of the file also.
IF the radio is/could be causing this, is there a way to determine which radio to try?
I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325564
Out of any further ideas for now

[SOLVED]
Hello everyone,
After so many days of trying, I finally found a way to fix my phone.
I noticed a lot of requests all over the web of a Rogers RUU. This is how I was able to bring my Rogers HTC back to life and stock.
I found this guide:
http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/
(Same website, that has the nandroid backup posted earlier by clsA)
follow ... that guide. Should be good.
I flashed 4.4 GP afterwards (as originally intended) and then OTA'd to 4.4.2. Everything seems to be running perfectly.
Thank You for the nandroid backup and leading me to that website clsA.

I've got a problem with my HTC ONE m7
Tried to install ARHD 81.
So I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then flashed the ROM.
Rebooted the phone and it stuck to the white HTC loading screen.
Waited for about 20mins. then rebooted the phone. tried flashing the ROM again but no luck there.
So then I did a recovery cache wipe, flashed the recovery, and flashed the ROM again but still stuck.
In desperation I did a wipe... and deleted the actual ROM.zip.
Now I've tried to Sideload the .zip (and original oexed) but get stuck/fail when nearly done.
I've tried to download all the "EU" RUU's and install them but get either error 170 (USB) or error 155 (unknown)
Also tried to download RUU.zip but that didn't work either.
So now i'm stuck! If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
Thanks!

Looks like you did not flashed arhd using twrp version 2.6.3.3.
flash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery and adb push arhd:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
command prompt will be unresponsive for the duration of the push (5-15 min)
then in twrp 2.6.3.3 select "install" and browse to find arhd zip file, select it and swipe to flash then reboot phone.
forget about using a RUU because all RUU available for your phone require S-OFF. (downgrade)

Thank you so very much!
Works brilliantly now!!
Cheers mate! :highfive:

Waiting for device msg after recovery boot
Hi. Please, help me.
So I unlocked my M7 successfully. Then I've tried to make a recovery - I used CWM: recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m7.
But something went wrong. Here's log:
C:\mini-sdk>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
But nothing happened, just screen with "root menu". I tried volume up and down - nothing. Power button - nothing. When I repeated command I got:
C:\mini-sdk>fastboot boot recovery.img
< waiting for device >
What can I do now? Why it went wrong?
In fact I don't even know what was my Android or Sense version after unlocking.

you can't boot recovery unless your on hboot 1.44
you have to flash the recovery to the phone to boot to it

@clsA
I rather ask than be sorry, so...
After my newbie recovery flashing I have now TWRP and CWM recoveries. How can I delete them (then I'd like to flash CWM once and proper)?
An second question: I'm not sure how to choose between recovery mode and standard. When I want to get to recovery I do it through fastboot. But is it enough to power down if in recovery and power up for standard mode?
Edit:
When in CW Manager I go to recovery mode I recover in TWRP recovery instead of CWM.

you don't have both recovery's ..when you installed TWRP it overwrites any other recovery. If your goal is to flash roms you want TWRP 2.6.3.3 on their.
What is CW Manager and why do you need it ?

Clockwork ROM Manager. It showed both recoveries - TWRP and CWM. But then I flashed Stock Recovery, then TWRP 2.6.3.3, then ROM, then again... Well, after few hours of searching, trying, learning differences between flash and boot, and adrenaline kicks when my HTC One didn't boot or stuck somewhere I manage to flash ARHD ROM. I'm quite proud of myself. I wonder though how much trash I left on phone after all of this (yeah, we girls like to have everything in order...)
And if I can - few more questions
I noticed that battery drain is much faster - I probably should calibrate it. Is there a best-for-ARHD-app, or any should be ok?
And in some apps, like Goodreads, I have now additional menu bar at the bottom. I'm sure there is some mode for removing it (specially if stock can do that), but I can't find it.

Theirs no left over trash on the phone (except the CW rom manager)
the phone works with partitions. Only one thing can occupy the partition at a time. Whatever you flashed last is all that's their.
The menu bar you mention is only their on GPe roms .. is this what your using ? Their should be no menu bar using ARHD 81

Yeah, they probably don't care about updating to Google changes. But it's not the same menu as 3 dot menu on Stock which was easy to hide. It's not really menu for an app, 3 dots button doesn't even work and rest of buttons is for phone navigation. Any ideas how to hide it?

Guys, I apologize in advance if this is wrong section for my question but it seems my searching powers are not as good as they used to be
I need help regarding HTC One M7_ul 801s PN0714000
This phone has problems with google processes being stopped and it has all kind of chinese apps and bloatware and I would like to install an european rom on it...Phone is s-offed, it has supercid and modelid is PN0711****
Now, I managed to find one kitkat zip file and tried to flash it with "fastboot flash zip" command but i keep getting remote:02 data length is too large...I tried renaming it to PN0714IMG.zip, it didn't help as well...
Is there anything else I should do(beside s-off and supercid) to be able to flash any rom on it, and should I rather go with RUU exe file...if so, can someone please point me out to a place where I can download official roms...I noticed that htc1gury is down...
One more thing, bootloader is locked, phone is not rooted and has no custom recovery installed, and I would like to keep it that way if possible...supercid and s-off were done with Java card, if it is an important info at all...
Please, let me know where I'm making a mistake and if you need any additional info....I apologize one more time if this is a wrong thread or if the answer was so obvious and I was so blind to find it
Tnx in advance....

will method 1 works on HTC one M8 ?
and if .. will i receive OTA update ?

Hello there,
today I tried to install a Custom ROM on my M7 for the first time.
So I unlocked my device with htcdev.com. Btw: it wasn't possible to skip step 11 and I'm using Mac.
So my device is currently unlocked with S-ON (as it can be seen in bootloader).
I want to flash custom recovery and my problem is step 7. ("In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot boot recovery.img (this command might not with newer hboots)").
When I try this command (on Mac: fastboot-mac), my phone freezes with both ClockworkMod Touch [OFFICIAL] and TWRP. My hboot version is 1.61, maybe that's the problem as mentioned. But I don't want to flash a recovery, maybe I can't use that device after doing that.
Any tips for me?
Best regards

"fastboot boot recovery.img" was only possible on hboot 1.44. Flash your recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Use latest TWRP recovery.

thx, it worked. phew

Hello guys,
im new to the HTC world, mostly familiar with Sony devices, have a friend who has given me their HTC which isn't booting up, it only boots to the start screen then goes blank, she told me the phone was charging and there was a power surge wherever she was and since then the device misbehaves and doesn't boot past the start screen.
how can I flash it back to stock, as from my experience it seems like its a software issue.

[Q] Stuck on boot with Insert Coin 7.0.7 (unlocked bootloader + twrp + s-on)

HTC Butterfly S (901s) (HTC_622)
Unlocked bootloader S-ON
Hboot 1.57.000
TWRP - 2.8.5.0
Hello. Would somebody be so kind to help me with my case? I've read a lot of topics and googled even more, but still no luck :crying:
I had unlocked my bootloader and made a full wipe of everything I could). Installed [UNOFFICIAL][RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery Project 2.8.5.0, flashed InsertCoin 7.0.7 for Butterfly S from their official site via aroma and after successful it stucked on boot or just boots into bootloader. I've tried fastboot erase recovery (failed "not permitted"), fastboot erase cache, flashing boot image one more time, installing [5.0.2] GP's Kernel v1.2.5 and still nothing.
While trying everything I can, I managed to wipe stock rom completly, so now I cant boot to use adb, I can operate only through fastboot.
I really looking forward to any advice from the community((
May be I am using a wrong recovery or I need to flash another HBOOT? Or I even do not know...

If S-ON, need to flash boot.img again.
You can find it in the zip file.
Try it.

Thank you for your response, but I've stated, that had tried that already.

maybe a bad download of the rom? did you try to download it again?

Solved!
So, I managed to solve this. May be someone could use my steps to solve similar problem.
After I had failed to boot IC 7.0.7 I decided to try to S-OFF my device and tried it with rumrunner method, but it failed on 8th bottle, nevertheless I've installed Falter kernel because RR method had a conflict with my stock kernel. After that I tried to install IC 7.0.7 again and installed boot from the zip through TWRP, not from adb and it finally booted.
After that I've installed new 1.25 kernel and now everything works flawless.
Thanks everybody, who tried to help me! + karma))
