What steps did you take that led you to this point? Are you stock recovery at minute or are you custom recovery? Is your phone detected by fastboot (type fastboot devices)
Also I assume to tried HTC.com/dev to unlock using a different unlock token?

just for future reference, he needs to flash the stock firmware, same one he already has, my suspicions say he has re-locked his bootloader with a custom recovery on there, thats why he cant unlock his bootloader, it requires stock recovery, the only way to get stock recovery on an s-on and re-locked device is to flash stock firmware. :good:

Yeah I figured he'd done that, which is why I wondered was he custom recovery

thanks for the reply’s, i have now tried to use a new unlock token but i get the same problem as before, before i relocked the boot loader i flashed what i think was the stock recovery but now i can’t get in to recovery i can use fastboot and it does show up under fastboot devices and when i try to put the unlock token on i get the screen to confirm but when i confirm it boot into recovery and just stays there till the battery drains on i reboot it any more idea’s or advice ?

go into fastboot and instead of flashing a custom recovery, merely boot it.
Put the custom recovery in the same folder as adb, and then boot your phone into bootloader by pressing volume down and power when booting up. Plug it into the computer and it should say "fastboot usb" on the screen in red. Then type "fastboot boot recovery.img", replacing recovery with whatever yours is called. Then, just do a nandroid backup, and you have a backup of a completely stock htc one. if you ever need to revert, go back into recovery and restore using that nandroid. IF, for some reason, once you restore and you still have a custom recovery (happened to me), merely open your nandroid, remove the recovery image, place it in the adb folder, and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in the bootloader and youre good.
Just remember that you can remove the tampered and unlocked flags using revone, but s-off is permanent (i believe).
First of all thank you for the reply.
I tried revone with my stock phone and it dit s-off , bootloader unlock and then i locked bootloare ( locked not relocked) and s-on back
My big question is where i would get my stock recovery to flash it back in case of warranty claim. I understand that once i flash a custom recovery to make a nandroid backup, i overwrite the stock recovery
my mistake...i tried with your comand and i got "booting.... failed (remote not allowed)
2ND edit
after I did s-off and unlocked the bootloader I could boot the recovery, now it's backing up..THANK YOU

ahahaha no problem . Now once that nandroid is done, its a COMPLETE backup of your stock phone, so when you need it, restore that nandroid from recovery. I tried this once, and for some reason, i still had custom recovery after restoring the nandroid, but this can be easily solved by what i said in the last post, just take the recovery out of the nandroid, and flash it in bootloader.

Alternatively you could point out your version-main from fastboot getvar and someone would post you a link for suitable stock recovery flashable image.
It works, first i did s-off and bootloader unlock then i booted with twrp recovery, made a backup of all that i could select. After this i put supercid and flashed europe unbranded, afterwards i reboot with twrp recovery and i restored the backup and all went back to default. After that i did s-on and locked the bootloader.
Thank you for your help

Rogers HTC One Brick on fastboot mode.. Please Help...

Hi all,
I bought Roger HTC One form kijiji, it was rooted with stock Android 4.3 installed (not HTC version). I tried to restore it back using following guide.
Boot loader headers
***Tempered***
***Unlocked***
sakitechonline.com/restore-your-htc-one-to-sense-5-stock-or-factory-rom/
after doing step 5. I figured out there is no Rogers RUU file out there.
now my phone is only reboot in fastboot mode I cant go to even recovery mode since boot loader is re-locked.
current boot loader headers
***Tempered***
***Relocked***
Please help...
do I need to unlock boot loader again or is there any other way around.
Any one has Rogers stock RUU file ?
Thanks in advance.....

You'll need three things :
ADB
Fastboot
A custom ROM of your personal liking, I recommend Android Revolution HD but it's up to you
For now we simply need you to connect your phone in fastboot mode and use the following command :
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Once you have the results post them here.
You need to unlock bootloader again, after that you can get stock using these methods (which require S-OFF). How you unlock your bootloader and wether you can or can't get S-OFF depends on that information we need you to post.

[Q] s-off from recovery (TWRP, CWM)

My phone is stuck in RUU mode (HTC logo and 4 warning triangles).
I can get it to boot CWM or TWRP via fastboot boot. Problem is I'm S-ON with HTCDev unlock, and there's no RUU available for Bell Mobility.
Is there any way at all to get S-OFF directly from recovery? Like, run revone from adb in CWM recovery or something? Alternatively, is there any way to boot a full ROM using fastboot boot?

Why your phone is stuck in ruu mode if there is no ruu for your phone?

I restored it back to stock (or so I thought), but when I tried installing the 4.3 OTA the phone got stuck in bootloop and eventually just stuck in ruu.

OK, total stupid moment.
All I had to do was restore a stock nandroid for my CID (found on http://www.htc1guru.com/) using recovery booted via fastboot boot [cwm filename].img.
Then, run fastboot oem boot.
Found last command on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612969
Guess i got scared by the warning triangles. :victory:
Looks like the "modem" partition is still corrupted, so I have to run fastboot oem boot every time I boot the phone. But, now I should be able to boot a rom, get root, and s-off the regular way.
Also I actually was S-ON with a locked bootloader - managed to do the HTCdev unlock "blind" while in the ruu mode.

[Q] Help! im screwed...

Hi guys i got an htc one in placw of my samsung grand
I managed to unlock the bootloader using cmd and tried flashing a recovery. However after the flash when i try booting into recovery mode from bootloader, it first gives the entering recovery screen but then screen blacks out and then it reboots as normal.
Now htc just got a lollipop update and i want to update, but when it enters recovery, it blacks out and then reboots as normal due to the fail recovery
Before i tried flashing each and every reocvery and the same happened... Then i just left it at a version of cwm ( didnt work also) .
Now shall i flash stock recovery? What if that dosent work? Is there any way to do it without a pc or any other computer?

Did you use the correct version of the recovery you flashed? I mean are you sure it wasn't a Sprint or Verizon recovery?
Secondly did you fastboot erase cache after flashing recovery?. This is the no.1 reason for recovery bootloop. Flashing recovery should be done like so.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader for the first time load.

Yes there is one. 7.19.980.5 posted in the general section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
see post #2.
If your phone is already on a 6.xx.980.x or 7.xx.980.x firmware you can flash it.

To find your firmware version it's best to use command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
this will show you a list of your devices version information.
You can post the list here if you need help but please remove your imei and serial number before posting for your own security.
There are 3 models of HTC One.
Sprint = m7_wls Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls
Verizion = m7_vzw Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7vzw
International = m7_ul or m7_u Downloads here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
There are also more model numbers for dual sim variants.
You must have the correct version of recovery depending on your model. The getvar info would be very helpful for me to make a recommendation :good:

soft brick nexus 6 w/boot loader locked

I was flashing system partition via dd .. Yeah stupid I know.. Some how boot loader locked itself previously.. My system is incomplete.. Won't boot.. Stock recovery and locked boot loader.. If I try to unlock boot loader via fastboot I get error about Dev options which I can not get to... Please help!
Will rsd lite still flash? Why did my boot loader lock itself ? Something new? New boot loader or new android do this?!

Sounds like RMA to me.
i dont get how bootloaders magically lock themselves, unless a script was run that issued the relock command..
one of the ota updates locked boot loader I believe, as I always leave my bootloaders unlocked for rescue, always testing different rooms, etc.. as well as it locking my bootloader it also required you to boot phone and go to developer settings and enable oem unlock there before you can fastboot oem unlock...
or maybe some other chaos locked my bootloader, idk..
fortunately I was under warranty, and phone was wiped good enough for them to not see phone was rooted or just didn't care and Motorola sent me a new phone...
