[Q] Stuck on HTC One screen after "Xposed"

Hi all,
I have been googling my life away trying to find a proper solution to this but no luck so I am turning to you all. My brother in law wanted to add some mods and tweaks to his T-mobile HTC One (M7). So we came across Xposed and we followed the instructions to install Xposed v.2.14:
"Download and install this APK - DOWNLOAD
Executed Xposed Installer from your launcher and click 'Install / Update'
Download this zip file and copy to your internal SD card - DOWNLOAD
Install the downloaded zip from your custom recovery"
We followed those instructions and installed the zip using TWRP. Upon "swiping to install" on TWRP the phone rebooted and then went all the way until the HTC One screen. We left it there for a few minutes before concluding that it was frozen. We tried to hard reset (Power+Vol-Down) but all that did was make the soft buttons flash. After some googling we were able to get to the recovery screen by holding Power while near a bright light.
From there we had encountered a problem similar to this in the past and fixed it by locking the bootloader and then unlocking again. So we did that and rebooted but the screen still froze at the same spot.
So now we are stuck with a HTC One with a locked bootloader that is freezing on the HTC One screen. Any help pretty pretty please??
Thank you so much! Sorry this is so long!

Just reboot a couple of times, it can take a while the first time. But I wonder why you did all these weird things, installing from twrp whereas the apk just works fine, relocking/unlocking is completely unnecessary, EVER, it just factory resets your device and just holding the power for 10s or little more is enough to force reboot...

Thank you for responding!
We only installed from TWRP because the instructions posted on the forum said to do so. Every time we reboot it gets stuck on the HTC One screen. After that, the only way to get away from that screen is by holding the power button near a bright light.

When you install xposed you should also have a second zip in the root directory of sdcard called Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip
Got to recovery and install that zip. It should disable xposed so as long as you're efforts to fix it haven't caused any additional problems your phone should boot up ok.

ok, best option is to 'dirty' flash rom (ie flash without wiping anything).

[Q] HTC One - Soft Brick

I wanted to change my rom on my HTC One. I first fastbooted a new recovery img TWRP.
On the TWRP recovery screen, I decided to wipe all of my data on my phone out with the advanced settings of wipe on TWRP..I still don't why I did that. The data isn't the problem however, I then decided to go back to Clockwork recovery and use adb to push a stock rom to fix my problem.
However after flashing the Stock rom onto my phone, the phone is stuck on the boot loading screen. My HTC One is S-On so I used a special rom that works for S-On HTC One phones. However the stock rom doesn't seem to work.
I'm stuck here not knowing on what to do next. I've tried everything...different roms etc.
Any Ideas?

oh dear, got yourself into a bit of a mess there.
first thing is to get your phone back to the bootloader, so hold down the power button and the volume down together, DO NOT LET GO, the lights on the bottom will flash 10-15 times, when they stop flashing, release the power button only, continue to hold down the volume down, it will now enter the bootloader.
Post your fastboot getvar all please, WITHOUT IMEI & SERIAL NUMBER.
also, please provide some links to the special :fingers-crossed: stock rom you flashed ? all rom's for your model work, s-on or s-off.

ok, guru reset works fine, recovery is the problem, you need to use twrp 2.6.3.3, push the zip again and install, select wipe data, install stock recovery and install stock radio.
also check the MD5 and file size before pushing the zip, the site has some issues with the files at the moment.
however, once you have done that, you have a good HBOOT there, so if you want s-off on your phone, now is the time to do it after you've got that guru reset installed, before any OTA's, try rumrunner to get s-off.

i flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3
however i can't adb the rom
C:\AndroidSDK>adb sideload Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
when i used Clockwork i used
adb usb
adb push filename.zip /sdcard/obb
which put the file onto the sdcard and i was able to flash the zip file
however this doesn't work with TWRP because it doesn't show me the obb file on the SD card and just comes up blank.

from the main screen only inside TWRP recovery, no sub menus, you seem quite experienced, but obviously the zip must be inside your adb and fastboot folder, it will appear unresponsive, takes about 5 mins to push, but your cmd window will let you know when its done.
Code:
adb push Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip /sdcard/

same problem is still occurring, I've installed the new zip file with TWRP, I wiped, rooted and installed radio etc. Still stuck on the HTC one loading screen.
I've check the MD5 and it matched however instead of 1.11GB as stated on the site its 1.12GB with the file being 1,176,264. I don't know if that means anything.

2- how long are you waiting for the phone to boot up?

I had hoped you would say something like __ minutes, because i don't know how long "same amount of time" actually is.
When I do a clean install of a 4.4 ROM, it takes close to 20 minutes for it to boot up properly, but when I just reboot the phone, it's done in less than 2 minutes.... so i don't know which one of those would be the "same amount of time".

when i boot up the phone it takes 30 seconds for it to go on the HTC one beats audio screen, then it hangs there. However I've never left it for more than 5 minutes as I have never experienced any phone taking that long to load. I'll leave it on this time for 30 minutes and see if that is any change

small recommendation: reflash the ROM first (including wipe), then let it boot up, if you check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
you'll see my personal opinion about bootup time (and other things)

This is very strange as ive used that guru-reset file myself, and its never taken much longer than 5 to 10 mins to boot, however, if its getting past the splash screen, then onto the boot screen, then its defiantly doing something, usually a boot loop is a phone stuck at the splash screen or a restart whilst booting.

it's been 20 minutes and it's still on the boot screen, so not sure what to do next. if this helps at all, I was tyring to download Android HD then i found out you needed S-Off, by then Android HD ruined my old rom so I used guru reset which worked. I then was going to do the S-Off procedure. This is when i went on TWRP and wiped all of my settings by mistake...still don't know how I did that. So i know it's not the file but my phone

Once you're past the bootsplash, it should be OK, but "5 minutes" has become a relative term.... It's usually the 4.4+ ROMs that take a lot longer to load than the previous ones, but I have seen someone post "I waited 10 minutes" and the two posts were 3 minutes apart (after he waited it worked fine)... so a little exaggeration about the close to 20 minutes is just trying to encourage a little patience

okay, that's too long, check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
iirc only GPE ROMs need S-Off, all the others should be fine; make sure you're using a recovery (and ROM) meant for m7_u / ul

This may sound crazy, but when you flash the guru reset file, and booting it, your phone needs to be unplugged from the computer, I only discovered this problem myself a few days ago, I couldn't figure out why it was stuck on the splash screen, pulled the usb cable and it fired straight up (try this first before below comment)
Download this one mate, it will work fine, again use twrp 2.6.3.3 I know there are newer versions on the TeamWin site, but this version is proven to be the most compatible with roms, this rom is stock looks and stock features, you should get S-OFF easily with it using rumrunner, and once your S-OFF, you can just use an RUU to get to fully stock if that's what you want.
again, download the zip and just push it to your sdcard and install

[Q] HTC One (M7) wont start after flashing

Hello,
Few days back my M7 went black and stopped responding at all. I have S-ON but was able to unlock the phone and install TWRP.
Today, I first flashed the recovery, then boot and then radio images using fastboot method. (I could not take the backup since phone was already dead )
Boot and recovery flash was successful but radio flash failed.
Now, when I try to restart the phone all I see is black screen and LEDs flashing. I cannot even get to the boot screen nor see the HTC logo screen.
Can any expert here guide what can I do now?
(I checked some similar posts but they too don't have any answers)

He's correct about the bright light and power + volume down
we still need to know the exact file you flashed (link)
and a fastboot getvar all minus your serial no and IMEI is always helpful

Yes the proximity sensor keeps the phone from coming on in your pocket / purse

You guys are genious :good::good: I can now see phone booting up and its in the Hboot screen where I see the regular options such as factory reset, recovery etc. I have played a lot with the phone so I am sure I am going to need proper steps as what to do next to get the phone up and running.. (Honestly I am a newbie totally frustrated with HTC and AT&T ). I am in software testing so do understand technical terms but haven't really done much in troubleshooting these kind of issues.... I don't mind sitting whole night fixing it if I need to
Below is the fastboot getvar information (excluding serial no and IMEI:

Okay... so looks like I made some progress by following below thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/bricked-htc-one-m7-attempting-to-t2856447
1. Downloaded Guru_Reset, TWRP etc.
2. Installed TWRP
3. So now I am able to boot into recovery, get into TWRP etc.
Now I am stuck at the point where it asks me to do adb sideload. I keep getting error:closed. I do see my device when I issue adb devices.

Okay... so looks like I made some progress by following below thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/bricked-htc-one-m7-attempting-to-t2856447
1. Downloaded Guru_Reset, TWRP etc.
2. Installed TWRP
3. So now I am able to boot into recovery, get into TWRP etc.
Now I am stuck at the point where it asks me to do adb sideload. I keep getting error:closed. I do see my device when I issue adb devices.
I also tried adb push but it seems to take forever. Any thoughts?

adb push can take some time, between 5-10 minutes, maybe a little more depending on the file size. When you adb push a file, the command prompt will be unresponsive for the duration of the file transfer, this is normal, just wait until adb display a message to confirm that the file was successfully pushed (something like: X amount of bytes transferred in X amount of time)
then in twrp, select "install" and choose your guru reset file.
Adb sideload fails sometimes so better to use adb push. If you still prefer to use sideload, make sure you have latest drivers and that you also have latest adb version 1.0.31. Sideload was introduced in adb at version 1.0.29 so anything below that version wont work.
to see your adb version, open a cmd prompt and type "adb version" without the quotes.

Thanks.. adb push worked like a charm :laugh:
My phone is up and running now... I cannot thank you enough to all of you.. this is perhaps the best forum I have worked with :good::good:

On a different note... after lot of thinking, I am almost assuming my phone crashed due to one particular app. The app name World Cricket Champion Pro.
Is there a way or an app I can install to see if I have any battery/CPU hogging app. I am trying to stay away from some games which I know take lot of memory. Thanks in advance.

Not sure what's going on with my phone. About a week from when I originally restored my phone it crashed again. Luckily I had it unlocked and got it right back after using recovery option from HBOOT.
However, again since yesterday it restarted twice on its own. Once it was kept for charging and was not in use. I tried to unlock the phone (battery level 100%) and boom it just restarted. Then today it restarted on its own again when I was browsing. (battery level 57%).
Any suggestions? Do I need to look through any logs etc? I am really worried and don't want to end up restoring it once very week.

[Q] Help...can't make/receive calls (Andriod 5.02 / Rev. 90.1)

Hi there,
I bought a 2nd hand phone [HTC M7] off ebay with Revolution 90.1 / Android 5.02 / Build No. 7.15.401.1
Everything works great...but I can't make or receive calls. I figured this was the same issue that struck HTC phones in Dec, but from my understanding 7.15.401.1 is more recent than the official HTC fix (6.10.531.10) & Rev. 90.1 already has this fix included also. I've also installed Viperone 7.02 (fix incl.), but no difference, so I'm now back to Rev. 90.1. I've also cleared google caches, froze HTC lockscreen etc etc but now I've run out of ideas.
Can anybody help?!
Thanks..!

Dial tone on a mobile phone... Whaaat? Bring the phone to your service provider, which is advice I never really give out, but from what you wrote, I think your missing something, like installing the SIM card or provisioning the phone correctly. Do you even have service and signal on it?

which version of windows are you using ?
also have a look in device manager whislt your phone is plugged in and phone in bootloader with fastbootUSB showing on the screen, see if device manager is seeing your device, it should say MyHTC under Android Devices (post a pict of device manager if possible)
fastboot commands only whilst in bootloader, adb wont work, adb is only for booted rom and recovery.
Just had a look at the link you posted, The adb and fastboot files are fine, I use those ones myself, the drivers are probably too far out of date, download HTC sync manager and install it, then goto add remove programs and remove HTC sync only, you will see the driver package just above it, leave that there, then plug your phone in and try fastboot devices or fastboot getvar all again.

dont change to windows 8 you will have all sorts of problems due to your HBOOT, you are on a very early firmware there and as you are s-off, that helps alot, I think you really need to bring your phone back up to speed to be sure thats not whats causing the issues your having, bear with me whilst I find the link of 401 firmwares. (version-main: 1.29.401.2)
If there is anything on the phone you need to keep, pictures, photo's music etc, please back it up now as firmware flash can wipe the device in some cases.
OK heres the link to the firmwares, you need to flash them one at a time, starting with the earliest 2.24.401's then the 3xxxxxx's then the 4xxxxx's then the 5xxxxxx and finally the 6xxxxxx's,: http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/401/ this issue you experiencing was fixed in the 7xxxxxx firmware which i'll find the link for shortly.
Do you know how to flash the firmware ?

Thanks so much.
I've found a guide

Tinky24 said:
Thanks so much.
Is it the same way as flashing a ROM i.e. Recovery > Install?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no, heres a good guide on how to do it: https://trjlive.com/guide-install-firmware-htc-one-m7/
if your phone is already in fastbootUSB mode, then skip the first 2 commands, also something not mentioned in the guide is the firmware.zip file MUST be in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files on your computer, when you download the firmware files (one at a time) they will be named as per the name on the site, just rename them to firmware.zip for ease, once you've finished flashing each one and the phone has finished booting, delete it and download the next then follow the prceedure once again.
your battery must be 50% or more before proceeding, but I can see yours is good at the moment at 4250mv
If you check yourself, no need to post each one, you should notice the version main number going up, the HBOOT version going up, you will also have stock recovery (a red triangle with an exclamation mark)
do not skip any steps and you'll be fine, report back after the first flash and let us know how it went, any problems, just ask.

Ok all done, getvar now gives me:
version-main: 6.09.401.12
HBOOT 1.57

perfect, as long as it still says your s-off, ps, never go s-on, you'll regret it, you can do one of the following.
You can flash this firmware https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722644637 (unsigned) not official yet, but will work for you as your s-off, if you go s-on your phone will brick, and then test your rom, your issue should be fixed.
Or you can do this which is what I did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/guide-convert-m7-developer-edition-t2840311 This is official

hold down the power button with the volume down, keep holding whilst the home and back bottuns on the bottom flash about 15 times, when they stop flashing, release the power button, but continue to hold down the volume down, the phone should boot to the bootloader, factory reset is in the list, use the volume button up / down to highlight it and power button to select, why do you want to factory reset ?
---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------
cannot mount sdcard is a normal error if you have entered recovery, there is no sdcard.

Sorry ignore the fact. reset bit.
I've now uploaded the last firmware zip you gave me. Can I just System reboot or is there something left to do?

yeah just system reboot, the lollipop rom's do really require Lollipop firmware which is what you just flashed in order toi work properly, your firmware was about 2 years out of date.

yes, or a rom of your choice, you will need a custom recovery first, so download this:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
put your phone into fastbootUSB mode on the screen again by holding down the volume down and power button method again as I described earlier, this is the white screen not the black screen with silver HTC logo.
rename the download above to recovery.img and place it in the same folder as adb and fastboot again and with your phone plugged in issue these commands one at a time:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then enter recovery, as long as your drivers are working correctly, this recovery supports MTP so the computer should see the internal storage, just downlaod and copy the rom you want to flash straight to the internal storage, unplug your phone and install it, its recommended to install option with full wipe, dont worry, internal storage isnt touched, just wipes data and system.

Soft brick (i think?) help please :(

Sorry i know this has been done a million times before but i cant seem to find anything that helps in my particular situation already. ill explain a bit what happened first exactly, my phone recently crapped itself and i sent it to the carrier for repair, they gave me a refurbished one that is faulty (gets really hot after about 20 min of use and restarts itself). anyways after a big headache of trying to send it back which is not really important here, i gave up and decided since i dont care enough about this phone to pay to fix it i can try and root it and hopefully install a rom that might keep the cpu cool and not reset so often (not sure if possible but it seemed harmless to try). anyways i unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM and not sure why but when i restarted the phone itll start up fine as if the first tiem you ever use the phone but you couldnt do anything after the set up. it just links to some site and you cant move at all or click anything its stuck. so i thought id install a ROM and hopefully fix it (decided on Maximus HD) im pretty sure i downloaded from here too so hopefully legit and now i cant even get into the menu at all. it gets stuck on the HTC boot logo unless i get into the bootloader which i still thankfully can and also into recovery. anyways i flashed TWRP just now in the hopes i can get an option in that to fix it that CWM doesnt have but still cant find anything and lot of the stuff i tried picking said "unable to flash s:" or somethng like that. same thing since isntalling TWRP though if i try restarting phone just to get into menu it hangs on the HTC logo screen i can only get into bootloader/recovery mode. what can i do? I still have s-on if thats relevant (probably that was the problem to begin with?)

s-on is nothing to do with it, as long as your bootloader is unlocked, that's enough to flash custom roms.
TWRP is required to flash custom sense based roms, which version of TWRP depend on which rom you are trying to flash, so Lollipop based sense roms require TWRP 2.8.6.0, whereas the later ones require TWRP 2.6.3.3
after flash recovery, be sure to erase the cache and reboot the bootloader before trying to enter recovery, this clears anything that the previous recovery may of left behind, reboot bootloader is basically for changes to take effect, so your commands should look like this:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
when you enter recovery, personally in your situation, I would go into wipe, and select the format data button, this will wipe everything off your phone including the internal storage, so be sure to backup anything you need first, you can do this with the adb pull /sdcard/0 command from the recovery main screen. once the format is complete, reboot back into recovery again, and adb push or copy a rom to your internal storage, be sure to unplug your phone now and then flash it, also be sure to select full wipe during the installation.
you can only really use lollipop based custom roms if you are on lollipop firmware, people on lower firmware are reporting problems like no wifi, Bluetooth etc, so it would be helpful if you post your fastboot getvar all without your imei and serial number.

First step go into TWRP / Wipe / Advanced / Format Data ... type yes
when it's done go to Reboot / Recovery
now download and install this Rom >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602541
during install choose Wipe system
the phone will take almost 10 min to boot ..wait on it and be patient

I'm trying to copy the zip file onto the phone but even though the computer reads it it says "cannot copy device has either stopped working or been removed".
