Hey. I got a problem with my beloved M7. Few days ago I gave a chance to CM12, but I got bored of it and tried to flash InsertCoin 4.0.5. Everything went well but now my phone boots up and locks the screen. If I unlock the screen, a green HTC logo on white background appears. After few seconds of showing the logo the phone reboots and locks the screen again. I can freely access the TWRP, but I have no backup and I lost CM12 installing files. Please can someone help me bring my lovely phone back to life?
P.S sorry for my English

Just follow this guide, it should help:
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone any ways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didn't install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

Sounds like another one with Unknown IMEI and baseband
Follow @alray guide as posted by @majmoz if the problem persists try flashing CM11 then go to Settings>About>Phone Identity and check your IMEI is displayed correctly there. Also check baseband in Settings>About>Software Information>More.

I managed to somehow flash CM12 back. ^^ My baseband is 4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L. And here comes another question. How can I get back to 4.4.3 with Sense ROMs without reboots which happened earlier? I have seen that I have to flash certain firmware, but I am not sure which one.

First you should edit you post and remove your imei. You don't want to make that public
If you could post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
it would be helpful you should also remove your imei and serial number before posting :good:
but the fact the imei and baseband don't display Unknown in settings is good

To get the getvar info your Device should be in the bootloader in fastboot usb mode.
Then send the fastboot getvar all command.
@Danny201281 Yeah, I tried to do this in fastboot mode. Windows pop up says that there is unrecognized device connected, what shouldn't have even happened because I have the latest HTC drivers(2.0.7.27) from HTC Sync.

It's common for Windows drivers to fail like this. You can check in device manager you phone should be listed a "MY HTC"
Other than that try connecting to a different usb port. USB2.0 ports are best. :good:

We need to know your CID, MID and Version Main which is all in the getvar. In any case you will need fastboot working to flash your firmware.
If your Device is s-off that's good you don't want to go back to s-on for any reason. In any case going back to s-on also requires fastboot. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54272479

Sorry i can't help with adb/fastboot problems when running Linux as a VM. I've never used linux as a virtual machine in windows, and your knowledge of Windows it's self is probably better than mine especially Windows 8. I'm confident there is no problem with your device this is a connectivity issue most probably caused by drivers. Hopefully @majmoz or @clsA can help you get it working on windows 8.
Although booting your laptop from a usb shouldn't be that difficult. You just need to change the boot order in the bios. The bios can be accessed normally by pressing "Delete" or "F2" during the first boot screen on your laptop. Then change the boot settings so that USB is the first boot device. What make is your laptop?

Please help me, I don't have much experience with Android devices and I've run into a problem that I can't get out of. My HTC one just shut off on me and would get stuck on the logo screen every time I tried to turn it back on. I tried getting onto the bootloader, and I did, but I can't go any further than selecting options, every time I select and option, it just sends me back to the bootloader. As you can see in the attachment, I am currently locked with S-On, I honestly don't know what that means. I'm in desperate need of help. I thank you for your time.

follow this guide to install your phone's drivers on your computer:
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
2) Q: I'm using Windows 7 what should I worry about
A: when you issue the command "fastboot boot CWM.img" (now only in CWM/TWRP restore method) there's a high chance drivers won't correctly install
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
follow this guide here to install adb and fastboot tools on your computer.
then open the command prompt ( Minimal ADB and Fastboot) and type:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
and reboot the phone. If it still hangs on the HTC logo, you'll probably need to restore the phone using the ruu like I said. This will wipe all your data including the sdcard.
Just do what mentioned above and I'll guide you how to flash the ruu if it doesnt work.
Or you can unlock the bootloader an install a rom that is near to stock
Is in my point of vue simpler

restoring using a ruu.exe is much simpler then flashing a custom rom IMO. It doesn't require to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash the rom, only clicking the ruu.exe and clicking ''next'' like 2 times
If the OP prefer to stay stock then the RUU should be fine and simple. If he doesn't matter then, yes flashing a custom rom is also a good option if he want to unlock the device again.

QHSUSB_DLOAD means Qualcomm High Speed USB download mode. This is really a bad thing, your phone is hardbricked.
I hope your phone is still under warranty, nothing can be done except send it back for replacement or repair.
Sorry.
Edit: If your warranty is expired, maybe a JTAG service could repair it.
Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.

I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.
Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!

I ran the Cyanogenmod factory reset and now the phone will not boot. It is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot logo. If I boot to the fastboot it tells me device is still unlocked with s-off. From there it will not boot further or go into recovery. If I try to go into recovery it sits at the Android boot logo.
If I need to do anything complicated to fix please explain. I haven't messed with the phone other than rooting, unlocking, and flashing roms.
Thanks!

After that u should be able to enter in recovery and flash your rom again.

You won't see the device, partitions and all.
It should only be present in device manager.
Try the command:
fastboot devices
it should get you the SN on your phone.
If u are new to fastboot and ADB try this article http://techbeasts.com/2014/01/05/useful-adb-and-fastboot-commands-and-how-to-them/
and this one even better:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225405
After you understand fastboot and adb, and also performed the 2 commands above, if u deleted the zip archive of your ROM to flash again your phone, you will have to push or sideload a ROM, see point E) from this thread:

Let me clarify a little.
Driver you gave me is installed and phone shows up in device manager when in fastboot usb mode.
However if I type "adb devices" I get the response "List of Devices" with nothing under it. There are no devices listed.
If I boot the phone normally and get hung on the Cyanogenmod Boot screen the command will show my device serial.

Well, if u don't see a new device in Device Manager when u plug your phone, is either Windows or your phone.
U already swiched usb ports.
Try another computer.
If that doesn't work, it's your phone's usb port, and that is a hardware problem.

I HAD my ROM zip however the SDCard partition is toast apparently. Error is "E: Can't Mount /SCDARD"
So aftter downloading the Android Revolution and wiping the data, I tried installing the ROM.
However it keeps booting into recovery mode. I have no idea how to fix this.
The phone tries to boot up normally, but fails to do so. It restarts and boots into recovery. (TWRP 2.5.0.0)
I have tried deleting installing a few times. Where I cleared both the cache and dalvik cache.
Still nothing. Is there any way to get another ROM onto my phone now? My computer doesn't recognize the device anymore.
After the installation it says complete, but shows an error: "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"
after this it says: "installation was succesful!" and tells me to do 1 full system boot before flashing mods.:crying::crying:
"Update, I found out I used a rom designed for M8 and not M7.
If anyone could help me getting ADB to work and a rom I can flash and pretty much a tutorial. I would be super grateful
So I found a m7 rom. But when trying to push it using ADB it takes a really long time and ends in protocol error.

Here is one problem. You won't be able to flash any recent roms using twrp 2.5.0.0. Update your recovery first: https://dl.twrp.me/m7/
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
make sure you have the latest adb version (1.0.32) using the command:
Code:
adb version
If not update your android sdk-tools: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Also make sure you have the latest htc drivers installed on your computer
With the latest twrp and drivers you'll be able to transfer a rom to your phone using MTP protocol when booted in twrp main menu (simply drag and drop your file from your computer to your phone storage).
If using newer roms (android 5.0.2) your phone must have a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware installed on it. Older firmware running new roms cam have issues. To determine your firmware version, use the command "fastboot getvar version-main" or "fastboot getvar all"
Finally pushed the files to the phone.
But after installing my phone still keeps entering recovery mode (twrp).

afaik, not with 2.5.0.0. If you can't see the device when in bootloader / fastboot usb mode then you have drivers issues. make sur eyou have latest htc drivers installed. If needed download htc sync. This will install htc sync and the latest drivers. Then uninstall htc sync (but don't uninstall the drivers). You don't want HTC sync on your computer because it will interfere with fastboot / adb connectivity.

you won't get any adb connectivity when booted in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. ADB only works from a booted rom with usb debug turned on or from a custom recovery. In bootloader you must use fastboot commands. To see if your phone is detected by your computer when in bootlaoder / fastboot usb mode, use the command "fastboot devices"
If your phone isn't listed with this command, please post a screenshot of your Windows devices manager with the phone connected and booted in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. Also need to know what is your bootloader version? 1.44/1.54/1.55/1.56/1.57 or 1.61 ? You can see this info when booted in bootloader mode

Please setup everything on this computer (HTC drivers + Android sdk tools (adb and fastboot), this will be much easier to work with Win7 because of your 1.44 hboot. Later, once your hboot will be updated, you'll be able to use your Win10 computer without any problem but for now better to work with Win7. Once you got everything installed on your win7 computer, boot the phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode and use the command "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is detected. If yes then use "fastboot getvar all" command. take a screenshot of this command output and post it here (censor the IMEI number and the SERIALNO number before uploading your picture).

My windows 7 computer keeps asking for a "android 1.0" driver, even though I installed the HTC one m7 driver package downloaded from HTC. I also tried installing HTC Sync, but it doesn't seem to help. Also it only shows "Android 1.0" while in fastboot so I assume this is the fastboot driver?
one more thing. I can't get it to show it's connected to ADB while in recovery.

Strange, it should be easy to make it work on win7. You might want to try this drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nt/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339

I borrowed a friends win7 computer and fastboot works! After installing the drivers you linked me to. Here is a screenshot! http://imgur.com/CN0uLu6
hey sorry I'm sure this has been covered but I've been trying to root my new phone for the past 15+ hours and after installing Android revolution HD one 92.04a9 through Team Win Recovery project v2.6.3.0 it now keeps restarting in recovery and then takes me to Recovery project after a htc logo screen.
This is the first time I have attempted to root a phone and I'm a noob evidently so please go easy on me. (all I wanted was to hook up my bluetooth controller so I can play FF7 with more ease) any help would be greatly appreciated as I've just moved from London to the middle of nowhere and I'm bored out of my mind without my beloved HTC
Thanks a lot Mr. Tickles
I am so frustrated with general support of HTC. I am trying to get in touch with service for two months and no luck. My next phone won't be HTC for sure, I know.

Try factory reset from twrp recovery and the flash again. Also you can try to download the zip of the ROM again to be sure it is downloaded correctly and try change the twrp version.
You are using an older version of twrp. Try updating it first to the latest version and try flashing your rom again
Get the latest one here
https://dl.twrp.me/m7/
But how do I do that if my phone wont appear in my computer any more?
Its 100% connected to my computer though because its appearing in devices printers but under the name android 1.0
You cannot enter in fastboot mode? If you can, then you flash recovery via fastboot

@istribo is right, to flash arhd you need at least twrp 2.6.3.3 or newer (latest version is 2.8.7.0) To update your recovery, make sure you have HTC drivers installed on your computer and also uninstall htc sync if its installed (but do not uninstall the drivers). Download your new twrp .img file from the link istribo posted above, save it in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer. Reboot your phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. Open a terminal window from your adb/fastboot folder and use these commands to flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then reboot in recovery and flash arhd.
Note that you should also have a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware installed on your phone if flashing Android 5.0.2 Sense roms. You can know your firmware version with the command "fastboot getvar version-main"
My phone wont appear in my computer so how am I supposed to copy over the files...
sorry guys I'm going to need a step by step guide made for an idiot lol

If you press power button and volume down button it gets you into recovery. Then u choose fastboot and the you do what alray said.
right so the fact my phone wont appear in my computer doesn't matter then?
Okay sorry for being silly I've just read that properly. Problem is when I got to install adb/fast boot it says something like incorrect parameter 'sheppard'

Download the sdk tools here (fastboot and adb): https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Download and install HTC drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/download/k7trah995whrw0d/HTC-Mobile-Driver_v4.16.0.001.exe
Connect your phone to a USB 2 port directly from your computer (no external usb hub, better to use back ports, not front ports)
Reboot your phone in bootloader mode by holding power and volume down. When in bootloader, make sure you see the red "fastboot usb" caption, if not select the "fastboot" option using the vol up/down and power key to enter. Once "fastboot" option is selected, make sure you now see the red "fastboot usb" caption.
Open a terminal window from your sdk tools folder
Type "fastboot getvar all" without the quotes en hit enter
copy paste the output here so we can see it (but do not post your IMEI/Serialno)
Then update your twrp:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Sorry I forgot to say I got my phone all working and rooted! Thank you all so much for your help! wouldn't of done it without you guys.
