OS version not shown when in boot loader mode. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I just had my M7 in bootloader mode and noticed that the OS is blank. I have been trying to run RUUs and flash new firmware with no success. I have adb/fastboot set up on my pc running Vista and have had no problem flash recoveries through command prompt. I want to update my phone. Does anyone have any idea where to start? Thanks.

2 things
your bootloader must be locked (if your s-on)
the firmware must match your phone and must be the same version you have now or newer

Thanks. I am-off. I will check more when I get home tonight.

If your s-off you just need to edit the android_info.txt in the firmware to match your phone
you can flash any firmware without relocking the bootloader

You can't update via OTA if you have a custom recovery and rom, you need to go back to stock if you want to do so
I agree with the first reply. Just return it. I completely bricked my first One and took it back to Best Buy. They didn't even turn it on. They just made sure there wasn't a rock in there instead of the phone. LOL
You're good. Just do it. :good:

OK so now I have an OTA update available for my HTC One. When I try to update it takes me to my custom Recovery TWRP. Will this help me to obtain stock status? Also what is the next step after booting into TWRP?? Sorry I am a noob to this but I can hold my own with good instructions. TIA!!

I don't believe the OTA update is going to help you at all. Here's what I would do. The factory RUU (ROM Update Utility) that HTC provides is an executable that you run from your Windows PC (XP preferred). You don't have to load it to the phone - your phone just has to be connected.
A couple questions before we begin:
1 - Which phone did you get? DEV 64 - AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile?
2 - Do you want to save anything on that phone?
If no to 2, just continue. But if you want to save anything you'll need to use either Titanium Backup or Go Backup & Restore Pro (my favorite). Back up to the cloud or copy your backed up items off your phone if you wish to keep them because you're about to wipe it clean.
You can find the RUU for the DEV unit here - http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You may need to register at htcdev.com to access this page. But here you'll find a list of downloads - some are CRC (kernel source code) and one is RUU (WWE stands for World Wide Edition). Download that to your PC.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I would boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset my phone. This will erase anything that you have on it. I'd also wipe the cache and davlik.
Next once the RUU is downloaded and you're sure you've backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep, double click on the RUU. It should be cake from there. It'll restore your One back to factory standards and you should be able to send this puppy back.:highfive:

Also, if you bought the unlocked version from HTC like I did then you're fine with having it factory unlocked with an unlocked bootloader. You don't need to re-lock that.
By the way, here's a graphic of the file you'll want to download and run on your computer when you're ready to restore the phone.

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.
It's a little more work, but this is the kind of stuff that I love staying up late for. Good luck and sorry we couldn't do it with an RUU.
:fingers-crossed:
Let us know how you make out with this.

Back to stock

Hey all just wanted to verify some things and sorting through all the threads is becoming a bear. I cracked my screen the other day and while at work a spark landed directly on the FFC lens. I'm going to be bringing my phone in to best buy for insurance and want to go back to stock.
Currently s-off twrp 2.6.3.0 running beanstalk 4.4.2 1/3/14
My question is the order for returning.
1. Backup SD card to computer
2. Flash stock recovery
3. S-ON
4. run RUU
Thanks for the help!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
1. Backup SD Card.
1.5 S-Off
2. Run RUU. The RUU file will replace your custom recovery with stock. I wouldn't worry about S-off or S-on. They don't see that unless they reboot the phone.
I just had to return mine for a replacement, the ruu I ran said to relock the bootloader before running the ruu, witch I did and it ran fine, so I'm not sure if it will run if you don't.
Also I couldn't get fastboot to work on my windows 8.1, I had to use my old vista laptop.
I didn't soff, I read it was risky.

Thanks for the help guys, so you are saying I shouldn't have to worry about s-off? I did it just in case I wanted to flash a Google edition ROM, never got around to it.
So its
1. Backup SD card
2. Lock bootloader
3 run ruu

Bricked or not? Need assistance!!

i was unlocked, rooted, and running a custom rom. I attempted to return phone to stock using windroid toolkit. The phone booted into fastboot and was relocked. However, it will not go out of fastboot screen No Recovery, nothing!! Toolkit isnt recognizing phone when i try rebooting , recovery, etc. Perhaps something is missing or was deleted? I have until 8pm tonight to return and would love to get this running. Any help is truly appreciated. Thanks.

Ummm, if your really having a ton of trouble fixing this you could get teamviewer and pm me the info and I can fix it for you.
But basically you want to make sure you have up to date ADB/fastboot ext and power on the phone into fastboot connect to your PC and the command you type is fastboot flash recovery (recoverynamehere).img then boot into recovery and probably the easiest thing would be to put a Rom on an SD card and flash from there, if not sideload a Rom.
Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk
i'm guessing since you relocked the bootloader you'll have to flash the unlock.bin again otherwise the bootloader wont let you flash a new recovery. Once the bootloader is unlocked again and recovery is re-installed you could sideload a rom and be back in business

Need help finding

Need helping finding a stock Non HK rom of Software 2.16.651.4. I need to unroot my device and have failed at finding a 2.16.651.4 backup to be able to flash back and unroot. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have done hours of google searches and haven't been been to find anything other than odex or deodexed roms which won't work. I tried using a back up and flashing back to an older software version but it failed to update back up so had to reroot. Can anyone please help
Here is the 2.16.651.4 RUU, straight from HTC. Look under the section titled "Manual System Update Instructions". This will unroot your device and install the stock Android system recovery. If you're S-on you'll need to relock the bootloader first using the command "fastboot oem lock" (from the bootloader) while connected via Fastboot USB mode. If you're S-off you do not need to relock the bootloader. Afterwards, just follow the instructions on HTC's site to install the RUU.

Cheers mate but I'm not sure what you mean by fastboot oem lock. Do you have a video tutorial? or instructions? I have been using the All In One Tool.

Fastboot oem lock is a command that you type in to a command terminal on your computer while your phone is connected via Fastboot USB mode. The command relocks your bootloader. You need to have a working ADB/Fastboot environment set up on your computer first in order to do so. Hit the link below for more info.

This is a reason I hate toolkits. They simplify everything but don't teach you very little, if anything

Okay thanks. Could I just use the tool kit to relock the bootloader and everything then use the RUU to update to the current version? I am not sure if I can do it following that method. To relock it anyway. Also to do this method do I need S-Off because I do not have S-Of.

If the toolkit has that capability, sure. As far as S-off, no, you don't need it.

It does have the capability to relock the boot loader you just need to flash a stock backup to do so. Which is why I posted originally. The only stock backsup I can find are for version 1.54.x which I tried using but it failed to update to newer versions got the red triangle so I had to re root. to flash the current firmware. The only versions of the current firmwear I can find is stock odex and deodexed which I was told won't work. If I do it the adb way d I need to be on 1.54 or can I still be on the 2.16 rom. If I could just find a stock rom or backup (deleted mine by accident) t would be much easier.
Here is a stock rooted ROM based off the latest OTA update. Download & flash in recovery:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...L-Stock-Rooted-Base-2-16-651-4-(Android-4-4-3)
Why again are you trying to unroot your phone?
You should be able to open a command prompt/cmd window from the toolkit.
Once open type
Code:
adb devices
This should return your serial number with Device next to it
If it does type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader type
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU in post 4 Magnum_Enforcer linked you to.
You will be completely stock afterwards

Don't know much about SIM unlocking so I can't answer that part of the question. Updating via RUU, OTA or custom ROM won't put you back S-on.
