[Q] I think I screwed my HTC One.

So, I bought a second hand Sprint HTC One from Craigslist about a week ago.. First think I did was followed QBKing77's guide on how to unlock bootloader and root. Did that fairly easily, then went through this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 ) to unlock it, had to do the steps in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840 ) to get it to work since I had Android 4.3 and was unsure on how to go backwards to Android 4.2.2. After I got my phone unlocked, I went and got a Net10 SIM card and a month card, activated it, threw it in my One, and.. Nothing. No signal what so ever on GSM. It does recognize my SIM, though. So, I flashed to the original Radio from Sprint ( 1.00.20.0315 ), but still couldn't connect to GSM networks. I called Sprint, and they said my phone was still active on a plan, so I went hunting for a way around that.. I saw some things about flashing to Cricket, but I didn't want that. After relocking my bootloader and trying to RUU a few times, and none of them working, I thought I should update the Firmware. So, I downloaded some UL update for 3.62.401.1 without thinking, flashed it onto my device, and when I booted it up, it started a boot loop. I could navigate the phone for a while, but after about 5 minutes of it being turned on, it would reboot. So, I went into TWRP>wipe>advanced wipe> selected Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System. After that, my system now hangs on the HTC boot screen. I can still get into Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried flashing to TWRP 2.5.0.0, but my touch screen stopped working in TWRP when I did that. I just flashed back to 2.6.3.0, and my touch works again in TWRP. I can't get ADB Sideloader to work.. Currently, my Bootloader is Unlocked, S-Off, superCID, HBoot 1.55.0000, Radio 4A.21.3262.04, OpenDSP v32.120.274.0909, OS 1.29.651.10. That's about all the info I can get from Bootloader. It still says Tampered as well.
What should I do? My first step is to hopefully get back to where I can actually see the homescreen.. After that, I'd like to be able to get my phone to work on GSM.. I don't know if that is possible, though. I haven't found anything about someone having a phone that is still on a Sprint plan and being able to use GSM in the US.

I already have my phone unlocked. I have the same RUU downloaded from that thread as well, and tried it one more time, and I got Error 155, basically telling me I have the wrong RUU for my device..

Are you 100% sure you are s-off?
Try a different USB Port
USB 2 if possible.

I only have two ports on my laptop, and I've tried both. I even tried a usb hub, but that gave me the same error. In my bootloader, it says I'm s-off, I used rumrunner to do it a couple days ago.

relock unlock Sprint htc m7

It's probably common knowledge so no one thought to write it down, cause I can't seem to find the answer- the phone doesn't generate a new lock code or anything like that right?

I'm confused by what you're asking... Are you trying to relock the bootloader? or something else...? Because to my knowledge, once you relock it, you can use the same .bin file to unlock it later.

I think I need to relock it and RUU back to stock, I think I basically flashed part of a gsm ROM. A couple organs Asia's I have a new SIM card but obviously I don't, I have data, but no signal, Network info in settings shows signal strength, in service and not roaming, phone I Dee identity info shows stuff normal until you get to the phone number and IMSI. Unknown for the number, and IMSI is listed as 111111111110111.
Basically I'm hoping for an RUU miracle save, so I don't have to test the geek squad's root policy.
1.55 hboot, 0913 or 1108 baseband.

I've kept my One with a S-OFF policy just in case I mess anything up and need to flash RUU's. But I updated to the latest Firmware and Radio, without the updates to the firmware and radio, it is possible that your phone is reaching the required satellites but is having a problem showing it on the phone and making it usable with the hardware/software versions you are running. Everytime I flash a new ROM, I always Update Profile and Update PRL just ensure a working network connection.
Currently I'm on the 1108 baseband with the 1.55 hboot as well.

Ran into the problem I was worried about...
I relocked my One, flashed the firmware update from the bad boyz thread, and every thing looked fine.
Next step, unlock the boot loader, FAILED.
S-off, 1.55 hboot, used the same token that originally unlocked my device. looks like I still have my custom recovery active, but I'm afraid to flash anything or rest k or recover. As nice as the One looks, I prefer it as a phone rather than a paper weight

You didnt need to lock your bootloader already having soff
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

hmmm
did you ever solve the way to get the number to come back and the imsi to stop being 111111111110111 ? My htc one max is doing the same thing now and I cannot get it to come back. I have reset the programming with ##786# and ##72786#, nothing. Tried with a different sim card, nothing. Added it to a different account and tried profile update, nothing. I have also RUU'd my device, it completed and still no change.

[Q] Rooting Gone Bad on HTC One-Sprint

Hi all,
I've been attempting to and failing for the last few days to get a custom ROM installed on My HTC one from Sprint. About an hour ago, I realized what the problem was but unfortunately have found no way of fixing this.
So far, I have unlocked the phone using the instructions from the HTCDev site as well as installed CWM/ TWRP Bootloaders and rooted with SU installed. I wiped all of the information off of the phone and as far as I know, the original OS is no longer available. I am able to access recovery and bootloader mode no problem and can install ROM's but they do not work fully as prior to rooting, I did not turn S-Off. It is currently on and I am stuck on how exactly to proceed.
Ideally, I would like for some way to be able to turn S-off, however, because I cannot access the operating system, I have no way of running rumrunner to get it done. At best, I can turn the phone on for about 2.5 minutes before it reboots and repeats the process. Added to that, whenever I unlock the screen, only the HTC logo shows up, there's no way to access anything else. I am able to copy files to storage during that time though.
Alternatively, I would like to return it to it's original state, but trying that has failed on multiple occasions. All of the guides that I have seen to return to stock require that you either have access to the operating system (without the reboot) or have S-Off, none of which I have.
Also, during the time that the OS loads, adb does not recognize the device. Its recognized in bootloader mode and Hboot, just not during 'regular' operation.
I would appreciate any assistance that could be provided as I really need to get this phone working.
Thanks! :good:

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Don't know why it never showed up in my search results though. Just gotta get this phone unlocked for GSM now.

Another problem
So I finally got my HTC one from sprint unlocked but I ran into another problem. Whenever I insert a GSM sim into the phone, I cannot get any signal. An 'x' is shown over my signal bar. Have already flashed the old version of the radio but I still get the same result. Currently running viper rom 5.7. Bootloader is unlocked, S-off and rooted.
Any idea what else I can do? Got the PN 072 version if that helps
BTW, I am using a Domestic GSM sim

I REALLY don't get why people buy a CDMA phone to use on GSM networks.... That said this is a known issue if you're running KitKat. No solution last I checked.

Main reason I got it was cause it seemed like there was a GSM radio in the CDMA version and I travel quite often out of state. Being able to use it locally would simply be a huge bonus. Will try downgrading to 4.3 or 4.1 to see if there's any change.

kitkat bricked internal storage (0 mb)

i need your help, just got an htc one sprint for 90 bucks, i live abroad the US so i was thinking that i can use this phone without any problems as i have been doing with the verizon's phones with the global roaming. But with this when i put the sim card i got the invalid sim card etc, and i was looking the way to unlock it but spent almost all day and it seems that the version running kitkat and with hboot 1.57 can't get downgraded in order tu unlock the sim for use in my country, tired i can't remember what i did wrong that i just have now a bricked phone that can't get the internal storage, can't flash a zip even on sideload cuz i got errors, couldn't get the s off even using the firewater method with a custom rum.
I remember that i used an CM11 Nightless if i am not wrong but when i tried to restore it i got the 0 storage storage. Reading on different pages i just see the restore to the jelly bean version but kitkat i coulnd't get nothing. I am not so noob i had rooted even a Pantech Burst but this is a pain in the ass for me.
So i want to know if i have a brick or if this phone can be saved.
At least i can get to recovery when i unlock the bootloader but of course i can't get storage, tried with cwm and the other one
What i am worried about is that thing of security warning when i relocked the bootloader
Please help :crying:

You probably need to run a RUU to reset your phone. Here is 5.03.651.3 you can use this if your OS is the same or lower since you are still S-ON. On your sim unlock issue, depending if the imei is clear you can contact Sprint for the unlock code via their support site.

I have already tried that but i had the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect, i downloaded the first one not the decrypted. Using both versions of windows 7 and 8 32-64 bits, happens the same problem
and for call Sprint i am in Panama, central america and i don't think that they will provide me the unlock code if the phone even is not mine at all it still with the name of the girl who sold me the one

Try to run the firmware 5.03.651.3 just download it, rename to firmware.zip and place in your adb/fastboot folder. Here are the steps for flashing firmware. Since you are S-ON make sure your bootloader is locked/relocked.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB type in the command window:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Then:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

If the firmware flashes successfully, then I would try the RUU again.

Finally i made it came back but i still with the problem of the sim card, reading around the web it seems that with the hboot 1.57 is not yet possible the roaming as was possible with others like 1.56 or less, and i don't wanna have that pain again of what happens this weekend

[Q] HTC One with a rough history, need to rewrite to stock, please help

I think that I tried everything on this phone and it seems that it's getting worst.
I will tell you the device history as briefly as I can . . .
Part 1: (SIM unlock)
Bought a Sprint HTC M7 from eBay (with a cracked screen, bad shape case and bad ESN I think but didn't cared cause I am from Europe and want to use it on GSM)
Unlocked it, rooted, S-off, downgrade to 1.29.651.10 and SIM unlock using this guide.
Part 2: (Parts replacement)
Bought replacement parts from eTradeSupply, replace them and was PARTIALLY fine.
The devices was rebooting randomly (common M7 bug) so I factory reset it.
After that, after 3-4 hours the NETWORK SIGNAL was gone.
Flash a lot of other Sprint RUU, tried to SIM UNLOCK it again many times but no network signal, even more, it was showing NO SIM CARD.
At one point I tried more SIM cards and saw that 2 of them were detected and I had network signal.
After some research I have 2 ideas of what happened:
1) I didn'r replace the SIM READER cause the new assembly already included it (it is between the glass and the frame so couldn't replace it with original one form SPRINT)
2) The SIM READER has some broken pins (someone from a repair shop told me that SIM cards use different depending on the carrier) but still do not understand why it still shows NO SIM CARD for some SIM cards.
Part 3: (Flash Verizon RUU)
After that I tried flashing a Verizon RUU (thought are alike cause both are CDMA phones).
The RUU flash stopped at flashing the system, the phone could not boot again so did factory reset.
No WiFi, no signal, no rotation, no proximity sensor and I think that many other things after the Verzion RUU, which was normal so I flashed back a Sprint RUU.
After that the phone booted but only a GREEN HTC LOGO on white background appeared and after 1-4 minutes it was rebooting.
Deleted the HTC_Setup.apk and still the phone was rebooting. After a better inspection saw that it had "Unknown" IMEI, MEID, etc and also "Unknown" Baseband.
By many experiments I flashed only the Verzion radio.img on the Sprint Stock Rom and saw that the IMEI and all the info went back.
!!! All this time the info didn't change in the phone whey I was reading it from bootloader (FASTBOOT GETVAR ALL) !!!
Part 4: (Flash manually every img)
My idea was that the RUU doesn't rewrite everything because:
1) After all those RUU the sprint email that was activates was still there
2) The Sprint Animation when booting wasn't showing anymore
3) In the RUU flashing process there are about 15 things that are flashed but in a decrypted RUU i saw that their are about 22 img.
Flashed and ENGENIEERING HBOOT, flashed was images i could manually (couldn't flash rconfig.img, didn't know how) and after fastboot reboot-bootloader the device HARD BRICKED
I was lucky that it was in the QHSUSB_DLOAD and I could repair it with Linux and a M7_UL script but using Sprint firmware instead.
After that the phone could read the IMEI and all other info having a Sprint Stock Rom and a Sprint radio.
Part 5: (S-OFF problem)
The things is that when I S-OFF the phone reads the SIM for 5-10 seconds then for another 5-10 seconds it sais that I have NO SIM INSERTED and when changing between those states the "Airplane mode" seems fo flicker like you click on it but it still shows that it's on OFF
When I S-ON it's OK, it can read still only the 2 SIM cards that it was previously reading and it can get network signal for them (also no signal drop)
Another problem is that the battery is draining fast (about 10% for one hour and i am on 4.1.2 android so no 4.4.4 battery bugs)
Some important things:
Now it shows me that the MEID is 00000000 when previously it was like the IMEI but without that last digit
The username is [email protected]
The IMSI, UICC ID are different from previous but I guess that they are dependent on SIM card so I think that it's ok
The values of FASTBOOT GETVAR ALL are the same as in the first day
Could it be that the M7_ul script write something from the international version ?
I read the script before and from what I've seen it was flashing only 4 images to make the phone possible to enter the bootloader so you can flash a RUU.
Why does the S-OFF affect the rom making it read and unread the SIM card and when S-ON it's fine?
Why my battery is draining so fast?
I am opened to any opinions/experiments, etc . . .
What I would try if someones know how is to recreate all the partitions and write everything from 0 but can I do that only from USB?
And if so I think I need some partition files from someones elsees HTC M7 Sprit.
From what I've read on the internet, I saw that many persons have one of the problem that I've encountered and I think that all of them could be fixed if we found a way to
rewrite everything (or the import parts that are not rewriten at lest). I think that also the rconfig.img image from a RUU it's important but I don't know how to flash it.
Waiting for sugestions . . .
New Updates . . .
After some research I ended up getting my hands into the DIAG Mode so I could repair my MEID. After a lot of trouble getting the MSL code to enter the DIAG Mode (The phone was S-OFF and the MSLUtility apk could not read the MSL code, which after some tries I S-ON the phone and interesting, the MSL was 000000).
I search a lot to find a way to change to MEID until I got to this tutorial.
All good until I arrived at the part where you find edit the ESN and MEID files but the things was that there was no MEID file, only the ESN file.
After watching the tutorial till the end I saw that he used DFC CDMA tool to write the MEID so I download the tool, installed it, used it in the Demo Mode (no payed account) and after many tries of writing the MEID it finally saved and it was showing in the Phone Information. Also checked in EFS Explorer and the file 1943 which is the MEID file was created.
After that I S-OFF the phone and the NO SIM CARD was not toggling anymore so SUCCESS, I could register the phone to a network. Further more, the DIAG mode and the MSLUtility was now working with S-OFF also.
So a question for the ones that are more experienced and maybe have a clue of what happened . . .
Why having the phone S-ON "accepted" the bug of having no MEID ?
What does S-OFF actually do instead of letting you flash what RUU and FIRMWARE you want ? Cause it seems that S-OFF somehow affects the Android also.
