Problem with HBOOT 1.16.0000

Hi,
I used the procedure here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680) to root and install CWM v4.0.1.4 on my Incredible S and while I was trying to flash a custom ROM onto my phone during CWM recovery, I kind of screwed up by wiping everything and not doing Backup.. I've been trying to find the Stock ROM for my phone to at least resume normal phone usage but I have been unable to find any. I've tried installing a lot of Custom ROMs including Cyanogen mod 7.1, Virtuous Quattro rc3, BinDroid RUNMED2.5, RCMix.Energized 2.21, etc, etc but nothing works. I desperately need advice as my phone is super important for my work :\
Please advise!
Btw here's my HBOOT message:

My phone was on Android 2.3.4 and it was on HTC Sense 2.1..

Unlocked bootloader from htcdev.com? Need to know your region/carrier/cid.
Possible fix could be flashing boot.img from custom rom.zip in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I'm not sure how to find out my region. I bought this phone 2nd-hand so I'm not sure about the specific details. I have the box and it says it's made in Taiwan. Do I provide the IMEI, S/N or P/N?
Sorry but what's a boot.img? :|

EDIT:
I tried copying the boot.img from Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0 (File name: update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-IncS-signed) into C:/, then I typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" into cmd after I 'cd' into C:/
Message:
C:\Android>fastboot flash boot boot.img
< waiting for device >
sending 'boot' (2178 KB)... OKAY [ 0.770s]
writing 'boot'... OKAY [ 0.598s]
finished. total time: 1.369s
Rebooting does nothing..
So I wiped (data/cache/Dalvik cache) and flashed the CM7.1.0 mod and now it works!! Amazing.. I spent 8 hours working previously and nothing worked. I shall try it on my real desired ROM later.
THANKS A LOT!

Ok so if you were able to follow the procedure you quoted to install CWM, then you have adb and fastboot installed on your PC, so reboot the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command and then post the results:
fastboot getvar all
Also was your HBOOT 1.16 S-Off or simply UNLOCKED before you flashed CWM?

Hi! Thanks for your input. Somehow the CM7.1.0 Mod was successfully flashed after I flashed the boot.img. No idea why though.. I am still on S-ON though, unlocked via HTCdev yeap..
Btw since I'm on the topic of custom ROMs on HBOOT 1.16.0000 with S-ON yet flashable, is it safe to say I can use the other ROMs that are available out there?

Yes, but you will have to manually flash the boot.img file from each custom ROM's zip file with the unlocked bootloader.

You need to have "stock recovery" installed for OTA to work properly, TWRP won't do it.

Could you please give me a detailed description of the steps I should take? Can I flash the ROM from stock recovery? How do I copy the OTA to the SD-card if PC only recognizes it only by fastboot or adb sideload, and in sideload apparently after copying it when it gets to 100% it says Failed. Thanks

I have the exact same problem. I am going crazy. I am used to Nexus devices and if I get an error as this one, I just flash the factory image. In this case is extremely more complex than that. I had Stock 4.3. Suddenly my device showed to get the OTA, TWRP started to flash it and now I can't use it. I have S-ON. Blueish/Greenish screen every time I turn it on. What would be the steps to flash stock "image" and start all over again? Please help, I've read too much and no answer.

custom recovery (ie CWM or TWRP) won't be able to install the OTA, and you don't really need to copy the OTA to PC.
the reason it's not installing, is that when it reboots to TWRP, it is actually expection "stock recovery", which can complete the process
you flash "stock recovery", using bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery <name of stock recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
and then the OTA will install properly, no need to do it manually.
your "OS-3.07.1700.1", so you need the stock recovery for that, I'm gonna look a litlle later and see if i can find it for you.....
Hit thanks if i've helped

sorry, didnt understand, i thought your ROM (whatever it is, let's say 4.3), received the OTA notification but could install properly cause of TWRP -> correct?? -> if yes, then flashing the "stock recovery" will allow the OTA installation to complete successfully,
or am i missing something?

4.4 seems to be having lot's of issues with S-On. Do you have a real GPE or are using a custom ROM, if you're using a custom ROM, then it will NOT work with S-On at this time, so better to go back to 4.3.

I do have a real GPE. So what can I do to restore or get back to 4.3? How can I flash a "factory image"?
Thanks
EDIT: I just flashed the stock recovery but there is nothing I can do in it.

shouldn't need to drop to 4.3 if you have a real GPE
flash CWM.
wipe cache
then restore this nandroid i made of stock 4.4 (extract the zip and copy the folder to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/):
https://mega.co.nz/#!TMlgWLDJ!ZfFlcxcRkebpb3cciULnlTf4GMJfy4grwOLi-Ied3Tg
Then flash this untouched firmware.zip from fastboot:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/am4jx7jbx2niilv/4.4 firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 4.4 firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip 4.4 firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
that should get you to 100% stock and future OTA should work.

[Q] Disaster Recovery , Bricked HTC One

Hey guys I badly need help!!! I was able to convert my HTC One GSM to Google Edition just last week, but today I want to restore it to its factory ROM so I can also restore the warranty. Now the problem became visible when I tried to flash a stock ROM (not the GPE ROM). Listed below are the problems I am facing at the moment:
1. Stuck in FASTBOOT USB, and cannot boot to ROM.
2. Can't boot to recovery. Everytime I highlight and select recovery the phone just shows up the "Google" logo, then vibrates, then back fastboot USB.
3. Factory Reset not working, again shows up "Google" then restarts to fastboot usb mode.
4. I ran cmd in sdk-tools, typed in "fastboot devices", and my phone is detected. But when I type "adb devices", my phone is not listed.
5. I tried flashing CWM or TWRP through fastboot in cmd but the reply is"remote: signature verify fail", as wellas flashing a RUU for my device.
6. On bootloader is written:

Guys I really badly need help to fix my phone. I don't wanna spend for repairs or throw it in the garbage. I am very sure there's a way to fix this and get it to work, but I am rookie in android as I've been an iOs user for a couple of years.

[Q] i bricked my M7 with wrong firmware

hi all
i was tried to flash my M7 from 4.3 to 4.4.2
downloaded the OTA update 4.19.401.7
contained :
DATA
META-INF
PATCH
System
Firmware.zip
Fotaboot
Skin_fota
the wrong step is : extracted the Firmware.zip file only
and flashed it only by :
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
now the phone is bricked, only boot to the HTC logo and black screen
when i try to press power bottom, the (Back & Home) led blinking
i was boot to bootloader and copy this information to you :

i was try to rename the OTA file to Firmware.zip and flash it again, but always failed
i was try to flash downgrade Firmware (3.62.401.1) also failed
i was try to flash RUU.exe (1.28.401.7) from the Fastboot screen and from the rebootRUU screen also failed
i was try to wipe and re-flash the same Firmware.zip file, it's flashed with no failed steps, but still bricked and no system to boot into
can you help me ?

My suggestion:
You are acting nervous, don´t know, from where you got the solutions you´ve tried. Your phone is not bricked if you have access to your bootloader as you wrote but yo can´t flash the needed things with a locked bootloader. Would be better to ask before every step, if you don´t know what to do.
1st you can send your device to HTC for repair...i think you have to pay for that
or 2nd (read and think about the warranty):
Unlock your bootloader via HTC.Dev. http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter
With locked bootloader it won´t run. If you have access to your bootloader, you are able to flash a recovery via Fastboot-USB and have access to adb. With S-On you can´t run the RUU you´ve tried, because you can´t downgrade your phone. S-Off would be the solution, but at the moment you can´t get it with your high HBoot version.
I think, the correct firmware is ready on your phone and you should
- unlock your bootloader with your Unlock_code.bin from HTC.Dev, flash it via Fastboot-USB fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, accept the message on your phone, then
- flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 m7 recovery via fastboot, fastboot erase cache then fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
- sideload Maximus Rom or ARHD 52.0 via adb in recovery adb sideload HTC_One_-_MaximusHD_32.0.0.zip (if other rom, you have to replace the correct filename of the zip)
- or sideload the stock odexed rom 4.19.401.9 from the same download area at ARHD for the One
- check the MD5 sum before sideload! http://www.flashplayerpro.com/MD5Checksum/downloadMD5Checksum.htm
(even saw, the links of ARHD are down at the moment - the server problems of mike 1986 are not gone. Try it tomorrow or read the last sites of the thread to find alternative links),
- wipe data, system, dalvik cache and cache in recovery (not sd card)
- install the rom.zip via recovery, reboot into bootloader and
- flash the boot.img copied out of the rom via fastboot. fastboot erase cache then fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot erase cache
Then your device hopefully will boot again.
If the steps of flashing roms with TWRP are after reading this not really known, read the FAQ before.

If you are able to go to bootloader then give it a try. Unlock bootloader then try to flash firmware.

Correct me if i'm wrong but with S-ON you need the bootloader to be locked/re-locked to flash the firmware.zip

OP, didn't we agree that you were going to wait??
I'm not entirely sure if stock recovery will read an OTG cable + stick, but worth a try:
if you haven't unlocked yet, get yourself an OTG cable + stick, put the OTA.ZIP (yes all of it, not just firmware), on the stick. connect it to your phone, and reboot into stock recovery, then press POWER + VOLUP (and hope it sees the otg), and use the "apply from sdcard" option to install the OTA.

My suggestion:
You are acting nervous, don´t know, from where you got the solutions you´ve tried. Your phone is not bricked if you have access to your bootloader as you wrote but yo can´t flash the needed things with a locked bootloader. Would be better to ask before every step, if you don´t know what to do.
1st you can send your device to HTC for repair...i think you have to pay for that
or 2nd (read and think about the warranty):
Unlock your bootloader via HTC.Dev. http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter
With locked bootloader it won´t run. If you have access to your bootloader, you are able to flash a recovery via Fastboot-USB and have access to adb. With S-On you can´t run the RUU you´ve tried, because you can´t downgrade your phone. S-Off would be the solution, but at the moment you can´t get it with your high HBoot version.
I think, the correct firmware is ready on your phone and you should
- unlock your bootloader with your Unlock_code.bin from HTC.Dev, flash it via Fastboot-USB fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, accept the message on your phone, then
- flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 m7 recovery via fastboot, fastboot erase cache then fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
- sideload Maximus Rom or ARHD 52.0 via adb in recovery adb sideload HTC_One_-_MaximusHD_32.0.0.zip (if other rom, you have to replace the correct filename of the zip)
- or sideload the stock odexed rom 4.19.401.9 from the same download area at ARHD for the One
- check the MD5 sum before sideload! http://www.flashplayerpro.com/MD5Checksum/downloadMD5Checksum.htm
(even saw, the links of ARHD are down at the moment - the server problems of mike 1986 are not gone. Try it tomorrow or read the last sites of the thread to find alternative links),
- wipe data, system, dalvik cache and cache in recovery (not sd card)
- install the rom.zip via recovery, reboot into bootloader and
- flash the boot.img copied out of the rom via fastboot. fastboot erase cache then fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot erase cache
Then your device hopefully will boot again.
If the steps of flashing roms with TWRP are after reading this not really known, read the FAQ before.

Dear , i will send my phone to the HTC Maintenance center and ask them to resolve it with my warranty
if i UNLOCK my phone and S-OFF , i think i will loose my 9months warranty
if they told my the problem is by you (me), i will ask them to maintain it and pay money
thank you very much

Dear, i'm sorry for that
yes, we agreed before for waiting...

thank you very much dear

HTC one M7 cant restore :(

Hello everyone, im new to these forums (and new to android) so nice to meet you all!
so i got this htc one m7 from a friend, he said he deleted the internal storage and he cant boot up android anymore.
thought might as well give it a try to fix it.
i tried everything in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258809 but it didnt work.
im getting a fail on the last step when it checks signatures.
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
after some surfing on the forums i found out that i need S-OFF... and mine is S-ON but i cant seem to get if off,
the phone bootloader shows this:
**tampered**
**relocked**
m7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000
radio-4A22.3263.03
openDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-3.63.111.3
eMMC-boot 2048MB

you dont need s-off, however, if you want s-off it would be advised whilst your on a low HBOOT before you update, but thats a different story.
your re-locked, so do you know if it has a custom recovery on it, or a custom rom, or is it 100% stock, to be sure, unlock your bootloader, because if it is running anything custom, it wont boot with a re-locked bootloader, unlock here:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
just follow the instructions and report back when done, it will give you some adb and fastboot files, keep those, you'll need them and will also teach you how to use them if you dont know. :good:

READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE TRYING ANY OF THIS AS IVE ADDED A BIT TO THE BOTTOM
what you need to do is flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery and create a simple backup, just something like the boot, then plug your phone into the computer, whilst its still in recovery mode, that recovery supports MTP so your internal storage should open up on your computer, if it doesnt, you have a driver problem, but if it does, then navigate to TWRP/Backup/Phone serial number/todays date and some other details, delete the backup files out of there and place the files inside this zip in there instead, files only not folders: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459333
unplug your phone and restore that backup.
once restored, restart your phone and just do a basic setup.
then put this on your internal storage and again boot into recovery mode and flash it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459512
once finished, do a full restart of the phone, your now nearly full stock, one last step, your need to flash the firmware which is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655045066 once downloaded just name it to firmware for ease and put it in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, reboot your phone to the bootloader and lock the bootloader (required to flash firmware as you are s-on), issue these commands.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader[I] (should now say relocked at the top)[/I]
fastboot oem rebootRUU[I] (screen turn black with silver HTC logo)[/I]
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip [I](failed is normal the first time, it will say please flush again) soooooo[/I]
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
[I]as long as it says successful at the end this time your good to go, if not, report back here before the next command, if all is ok then:[/I]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot
when you restart your phone will be full stock and you should now be able to update, recommended as your firmware is quite old, however, I would recommend before updating that you try and get s-off, for this you will need to use rumrunner s-off tool, you can find it here plus the instructions: http://rumrunner.us/ (you might want to try this after: "once restored, restart your phone and just do a basic setup." before flashing the firmware and preload data part)

to clear those errors, in TWRP recovery select wipe - format data, this will wipe the entire phone, then reboot back into recovery.
The internal storage popping up on your computer only works when you are booted into recovery (main recovery screen only) and only with TWRP recovery 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.4.0.

Are you using twrp 2.8.5.0 now ?
once you have restored the backup, boot up your phone, do a basic setup, plug your phone into the computer and copy the preload zip file to your internal storage, reboot back to recovery, select install, select the preload zip from the list and swipe to install.

If you get s-off, it wil be way way easier to fix, no need to go through all that stuff again, just change cid, mid and run and RUU.
