[Q] Bricked Sprint HTCOne M7

Hi Developers,
I need your help i have been a fan of this site for some time now and have found very useful information here. now i need your help once again.
I tried to unlock the Bootloader and flashed TWRP and CWM but when i try to bring the device back up SU is not granted Root access. i tried over and ocer again.
When i try to reboot the phone Fastboot/Flash recovery/TWRP or CWM the device hands adn never comes back up.
I even tried to do a Facotry reset and start over. This also did not work.
Can you guys please guide me on truly doing a factory reset so that i can try this again?
Thank you very much for your help.
Rgrds,
Robert1c

If you want to reset to out of the box stock, run the ruu.

If you can get into recovery, just restore nandroid. Or flash a fresh rom.

Make sure you are in the boot loader when running ruu and you have all the proper HTC drivers. If that's not it you can try searching Google for the error.

Dude. Just boot into recovery then on phone press mount usb. On your computer in your drives you should see your phones memory. Download a rom from the sprint htc one. Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834713 Once downloaded drag zip to storage. Once done press unmount usb. Then on recovery press install from storage. Click on your rom zip. Let it install. Reboot your htc one. Your good. You should have no more issues.

he also has to relock his bootloader to run the RUU

Fyi, because I see it misused a lot, "Bricking" man's it won't even power on, be recognized by any device, etc. If it just won't go into its ROM then that isn't a brick.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Mine fits the description of bricked better... All stock, no root, just using it as a GPS, left it plugged into the car charger when I went into the store but turned the screen off (that thing gets HOT). When I came back, no led, no power, nothing. Have tried connecting to the wall charger that came with it, to USB 2 and 3 on computers, left it charging all night. Not so much as a flicker... The computers didn't recognize anything connecting to them either.
Long hold of power (with and without either/both volume buttons) has done nothing.
What is left to try? I would rather not lose all the pictures from my vacation, but need my phone back for work.

If its not rooted go to sprint and get urself a new one

I think that will be an issue as well. i did find a few posts that talk about the RUU to take it back to stock where the two messages would go away but the mirrors where this is located (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979706399752930) are all down.
I have the HTC One from Sprint. does anyone know where else i can find the RUU?

[Q] Phone stuck in boot loop

Hey all! I have (had) a rooted HTC one.
In an attempt to install an Android 4.3 ROM, I've got my phone in 1 of 2 stages.
I have TWRP
When I tried to download the 4.3 ROM and reboot, it takes me back to the bootloader screen. If i try reboot, it continuity takes me back to this screen.
If i go to recovery, and attempt to wipe & backup, it says successful, however, upon a reboot, it goes through the motions, but android nor apps never loads and in about 20 seconds, the phone restarts and continues this process over and over again..
Can anyone help me just get my phone back please?
I feel like somethings just missing or do i need to factory reset?

Did you flash a Sprint rom?

do i have to flash both rom and firmware, or one or the other?

Jaywill I did the exact same thing as you did, followed the wrong root guide to upgrade 4.3 on htconeroot. I too get booted into the bootloader screen consistently and after a factory reset/recovery it's stuck in a bootloop.

It took me 8 hours last night to fix it, I eventually had to resort to relocking my bootloader and install the 1.29 RUU. Phone seems to work fine now.

I did lose everything on my phone. I didn't had much on it though since I've only had the phone for two weeks.
The course of action is this:
First connect phone to your computer and get ADB going (hopefully you had USB debugging on)
Then follow this guide to get S-OFF and relock bootloader, make sure you booted into recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44243635
Then download RUU from this link

that's the part i don't get is where do i find/access the adb?

First off I'm assuming you have the android SDK installed on your PC since you have rooted phones before.
You probably need a driver for your PC to recognize the phone. The one I used is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
But you can also download and install the HTC Sync
Once your PC recognizes your phone and you are booted into recovery you can push ADB and fastboot commands to your phone.

You need to flash the correct laf.img for your device so you can enter download mode all the way. Then you will be able to tot back. You were on jb 4.2.2. Right? I need more info. What variant do you have?

As far as I know, there is NO way to fix what you've done. I had the exact same problem and exhausted all options trying to flash back to stock, flash the laf.img etcetera.

anyone else have a problem with this not recognizing the touch commands and just basically acting like its frozen? Nothing works I left it for awhile and came back to it and tried to open the slide lock and it doesn't do anything. The battery is fully charged so what I guess I have to do is wait for the thing to die so I can get out of recovery.

no luck with twrp so switched back to cwm. i also flashed the same way using fastboot

well I'll give the flashy a try and see but I think its more an issue with my phone. but I got time to play so we'll give it a shot.

Looking at my bootloader I do not think I am on the KK bootloader it gives me a date of 2013-09-25 I am assuming that is the original bootloader that it came with. Guess I'll do a search for the KK bootloader and see if I can get that flashed over.

To get the KK bootloader, I flashed the latest OTA through rsd lite. It should keep the boot loader unlocked but will remove root. If you plan on using a stock ROM, Q9Nap's GPE is very smooth and stable. Their thread gives links and instructions on how to flash OTA.

So the Frog has officially Croaked his Phone.
Yes you heard right I have managed to kill my phone. Only good thing is that I couldn't use it for much more than a mini wifi tablet so I didn't really loose anything.
I could not get Twrp 2710 to work was because I had the old boot loader So I decided to update the boot loader which I did but now the phone will not go out of the boot logo screen. I have successfully reinstalled my ROM and still will not go past the boot logo screen. I have tried fastbooting back to the old bootloader but no luck there either. I have spent about 2.5 hours this morning trying different things to get it to work and nothing I have found or came across will work. I have however successfully installed twrp 2710 and now have it working. Considering that is the only area of the phone That I can actually get into i guess thats something.

Some of the older Roms won't boot on the kk kernel they will not boot past the boot logo... When you upgraded did you flash the entire kk firmware via rsd? And it wouldn't boot past the boot logo...

advice, thought, or a suggestion.. dont use toolkits until you know what you are actually doing. do things the right way, until you learn how to do it properly. then use all the toolkits you want. the problem is that toolkits dont teach you a single thing, and doing things right on any nexus is very easy.
my suggestion would be to wipe data/system then reflaah cm again.

advice, thought, or a suggestion.. dont use toolkits until you know what you are actually doing. do things the right way, until you learn how to do it properly. then use all the toolkits you want. the problem is that toolkits dont teach you a single thing, and doing things right on any nexus is very easy.
my suggestion would be to wipe data/system then reflaah cm again.

I actually am not a noob,
And I do know how to flash factory images manually using fastboot commands.
I downloaded all necessary files to flash manually.
I did that,
Wouldn't boot past boot animations.
Tried again with tmobile official (from google) files,
Same thing. So last resort was wugs.
Clean flashed cm12.1.
And wouldn't boot.
I appreciate your advice, but don't assume because I didn't succeed on a simple thing as a flash, that one is not familiar with this. The only thing I can think of that would have prevented boot was maybe I had a bad DL of cm.
But unlikely.
Planned on downloading a diff ROM and gapps.
If it doesn't I'll be flashing factory images of LMY47M manually and reroot and recovery and start from there.
Oh and thank you for the wipe/advice.
I did :-/ go fig
Reflashed before I restored backup but no go.

Did you downgrade the bootloader back to 5.1.1?

Yes, manually first and when it wouldnt* boot past animation, last resort was NRT
So I'm assuming NRT flashed boot loader associated to LMZ28E
Edit: maybe if I downgrade down to 5.0.1? Then reroot and recovery?

Do we know for a fact the that we can downgrade the bootloader from m? We learned we couldn't downgrade from 5.1 bootloader.

I reread the thread like 3x.
And it was mentioned that another user used NRT to downgrade successfully.
I thought the same thing, but didn't try it till I read that thread till 4am. This morning decided to take the plunge.
I was thinking also, if I just reflash bootloader and radio and put M back on, then just try manually flashing 5.1?

i did flash the new bootloader, but i went back and forth from M to terminus(rom) about 5 times yesterday. flaah the new bootloader again, and keep it. you trying to downgrade it might be the issue. btw, i flashed m, and the bootloader, via twrp recovery, its much easier and faster that way. after, i made a backup in recovery. so now all i do to go back and forth is restore the backups.
oh, and i meant you no disrespect. while it doesnt include everyone, most people using toolkits around here are noobs. and they are the ones that usually get stuck. so, i apologize

I think that's where I messed up from the beginning when I flashed M.
I didn't notice the modified boorloader that doesn't force encryption and it was all downhill from there.
That being said,
Should I flash modified boorloader to not force encrypt, and blah blah blah?

God I wish it was a faster download link -_- lol
BTW, when I first downloaded and flashed boorloader via twrp (radio also) rebooted twrp to flash ROM, and sdcard was wiped
It shouldn't do that right?

no, it shouldnt unless you accidentally did it yourself. ive seen people do that too often. if you go into the wipe menu, be sure to go into advanced options, where you can pick what you want wiped.or itll wipe everything.

K so everything's downloaded....
Going to flash in a sec all via twrp.
Report back .
Wish me luck lol

fingers crossed

What cracks me up the most is people that posses limited knowledge about fastboot flashing partition images are just seemingly willy nilly flashing images not really fully understanding what they are doing/flashing. We all have to learn somehow but I wouldn't do it at the expense of flashing a boot loader. If anything went wrong during a boatloader flash you would definitely have an unrecoverable hard brick.
Moral of the story.... People, read the how to's and SLOW down... Think about what you are doing. After reading the above replies its clear to me that people are getting a bit confused with a boot.img and a bootloader.img. its OK guys. Just be careful
