[Q] How do I recover my (now soft-bricked) phone? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I just bricked my M7_UL and I need help on how to recover it.
How it was at the beginning (HTC One Stck bought in Spain, no carrier):
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
CID-HTC__304
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RADIO-4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617
OS-2.24.401.1
eMMC-boot 2048MB
What I did with it:
Unlocked bootloader via HTCDev (successful)
S-OFF'd it (successful)
Changed CID to GOOGL001
Flashed TWRP (successful)
Installed GPe stock ROM on it (successful but radio started failing -frequent 3G problems that required rebooting each time to get service back, Bluetooth problems-)
Flashed Android Revolution GPe (successful, radio problems persist)
Factory reset (went back to GPe stock image, radio problems persist)
Months later I got another phone and wanted to prepare the M7 for selling.
Changed CID back to HTC__304 (successful)
Tried to use RUU to go back to stock (htc_fastboot.exe crashes, the utility reports not the proper OS for the phone)
Flashed CWM (successful)
Flashed Guru Bootloader to relock bootloader (successful)
Tried to use RUU to go back to stock (htc_fastboot.exe crashes, the utility reports not the proper OS for the phone)
Note that I'm still S-OFF.
Tried to flash recommended radio (failed)
Flashed recommended firmware (successful)
And now the phone is in a bootloop.
How it is right now:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-HTC__304
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RADIO-4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617
OS-2.24.401.1
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Bootloader is locked, and recovery fails.
Where should I start to recover the phone?

Worked like a charm, thank you.
I'm actually surprised it was that easy.

Help Returning to Stock

i need some help returning my htc one to stock i have already downloaded ruu 1.29.651.10 and i have the one all in one kit and have a few questions before i do this.
First of all do i just have to relock in order to run the ruu?
second will the ruu remove the custom splash screen and return it to stock?
Also my device under bootloader says
***unlocked***

Yes, you have to relock. Yes it will remove the custom splash screen and return your phone back to stock. Just follow the instructions.
Literally all you need to do if you are downgrading is use Revone to obtain S-Off and even if you aren't downgrading you can still use it to stray away from Relocked and Tampered bootloader. Use Revone to relock the bootloader in a way that it shows "Locked"(-t -l) and not relocked or tampered. Run RUU and immediately after completing RUU session just use "adb reboot bootloader", "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3", "fastboot reboot"

Unable to boot phone after flashing 4.06 RUU

Hello everyone,
My phone had been messing up lately, and I'm trying to get back to a stock ROM.
I ran followed the instructions in this thread [RUU] Sprint HTC One | 4.06.651.4 | Encrypted | Decrypted | Stock Rooted ROMs
and everything flashed successfully. But the only thing is the phone won't boot, it goes straight to the bootloader. I've tried flashing a recovery and when I try entering recovery, it kicks back out to fastboot. I've even tried 'fastboot boot recovery.img' but it just freezes at fastboot.
I'm wondering if anyone has ran into this problem and/or have come up with a solution to fix it?
My bootloader reads as such:
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-SPCS_001
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RADIO-1.00.20.1100
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-4.06.651.4
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Thanks in advanced for your help.

P.S. Other things to note, I S-Off'd using Firewater if that's information that's at all valuable
Had a similar problem where the guy would just not update and my phone wouldn't boot other then in boot loader. I suggest downing the 4.3 Ruu 3.04.651.02 which seems to be the only ruu that works on both my computer and laptop that were able to boot my phone. After running the Ruu and hopefully your phone turning on your can just check for HTC updates and update your device to 4.4 not until then should you flash a recovery. Hopefully this helps you out . Seems like a lot of work but it has been the only solution that I know for now.

have you relocked your bootloader before trying to run the ruu??because the new hboot 1.56 needs a locked bootloader...me too have faced this problem but no issue now..!! try relocking the bootloader with
fastboot oem lock
now download this firmware( http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407568410) and rename this firmware to firmware.zip and then do this-
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
and then run the ruu again...it should work..!!:good::good:

I just tried the new 5.03.651.3 RUU (after relocking bootloader) and it wont get pass "checking header".
I have no idea what to do now. Please let me if you need more info about my phone

I would recommend you get s-off now with rumrunner before you up the hboot to 1.56 / 1.57 and have to pay for it
Why do you want to RUU is your phone broken ? or do you just want to update it ?
Download this OTA and remove and flash the firmware.zip in it >> http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/t-mobile-3-24-531-3/
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot
Now flash this RUU >>

yes, the phone is not working. I accidently wiped it about a week ago without having a rom on it and now im stuck in bootloader, I relocked my bootloader and originally wanted to put a custom rom back on the phone but ive been without a phone for too long now and just want it to work again. I have a few questions, do I have to get S-off in order to do what you said above. 2., If so how do i get S off via rum runner, not really a pro with this. And 3, is the RUU you posted the correct one for my htc one.

no
follow instructions from rumrunner thread, you don't need s-off to flash what he said but if you want to have it, better to do it now because once updated you'll have to use sunshine s-off and it cost 25$. Rumrunner is free.
yes

[Q] Bootloop after OTA Update

Hello guys,
I have a problem. A Friend made an OTA Update at his HTC One(M7) and it may installed not properly. So now the Phone has a Bootloop. Firmware, Rom, Recovery and all are Original. What can I do to make it work? To use warranty and send it in is only his last choice.

The first possibility that will not void the warranty is to flash the latest RUU which will (should) fix the phone and update it to the latest version at the same time. Flashing a RUU will wipe everything on the phone. The ruu you need is the 7.19.401.2 version. You can download it from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944. You need to use the fastboot version mentioned in that thread.
2nd option is to send the device for repair if it still under warranty.
3rd option (will void the warranty) is to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, flash the 6.09.401.11 stock rom, reflash stock recovery and update.
