Place your phone in fastboot mode, make sure it says fastboot usb on screen after connecting to computer, you can even run fastboot devices to make sure your device shows up on command prompt.
Then install KitKat RUU from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781

Can you try the 4.3 RUU ?
I am suspecting this will be because you are not S-OFF.. Can you boot into CWM or TWRP?

Any new idea to resolved that :crying:

Unlock bootloader then install custom recovery. You are not able to do that anymore?

RELOCKED is still kind of locked. Have you tried repeat your unlocking process to see if you can get it UNLOCKED?

Should say unlocked.. Not relocked.

Same here, nothing shows up.

something might be hosed in your hboot.
Factory reset from the bootloader. Then flash the firmware.zip from either the GPE conversion RUU or extract it from the OTA zip.

Thank you! Will try that this evening. Hope it works.

Don't see why not. the firmware.zip from the actual OTA package is signed by HTC and works with his CID so s-off shouldn't be needed. Now the entire RUU on the other hand does require s-off because it's not signed by HTC...

I used the firmware.zip from the GPe RUU thread, as well as the one extracted from 4.4 ota. Unable to find 4.3 and 4.2.2 ota packages though.

I have exactly the same issue, even down to the identical error messages. Following this thread closely for a solution. Any help appreciated.

Please I need help

which ruu?

Since you are s-off you can put twrp recovery.img in a firmware.zip and flash it in ruu mode with fastboot flash zip firmware.zip. No need to unlock bootloader.
Also need android-info.txt in the firmware.zip, that's it.

RUU-HTC_One_GE-2.14.1700.15 this is installed and work
great after update to KK4.4.2 but I can't root it...

Also, if you really want to unlock bootloader, downgrade to hboot 1.4.4 and use revone to unlock. Then reflash GPE ruu.

Here is a firmware.zip containing TWRP 2.6.3.4 for m7ul that can be flashed in RUU mode with s-off: firmware_twrp.zip
Note: This firmware flashes TWRP recovery only, nothing else. All other firmware files (hboot, sbl, radio, etc.) will remain untouched. It does NOT factory reset, or erase /system or /data partitions.
To install, reboot into bootloader and then:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware_twrp.zip
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Device will reboot into bootloader; select recovery and it will reboot into TWRP, then flash superuser/supersu to root.

Many Thanks

So you were able to flash the RUU-HTC_One_GE-2.14.1700.15.zip conversion RUU in fastboot, but not the firmware_twrp.zip ? That doesn't make sense, since with s-off bootloader lock state shouldn't matter.
From what I've read the 'too many links' error can be a corrupt zip, or USB port/cable problem.
Have you tried to flash the recovery.img directly with: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You could just unlock the bootloader with revone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497712

The zip you created was intended for ruu mode if i read correctly, and the OP didn't "fastboot oem rebootRUU" first.

As far as I know (and tried... not this but other stuff), with a locked or relocked bootloader (I'm S-Off) any "fastboot flash ....." command will result in "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" or similar.
Basically, my conclusion:
A) "fastboot flash ...." (in normal mode) won't work unless UNLOCKED irrelevant whether S-On or S-Off
B) "fastboot flash zip ..." (in RUU mode) will only work if: LOCKED/RELOCKED with S-On, or S-Off and then lock status doesnt matter.

Many Thanks
Thanks for your help.

If you downgraded hboot to 1.44 then use revone, @cschmitt gave you a link. Since you are having issues unlocking bootloader using fastboot, use revone to unlock it should work since you are on 1.44.

[Q] HTC One can't enter CWP/TWRP on boot loop please help

Hi Guys
i think i really messed up my HTC one first of all here's the screen details on the boot loader
and I'm a complete noobie on android and this is phone is my frist android device

PC: Windows 7 Ultimate
The story is I tried to root my device using this tutorial in youtube from zedomax
and it was a success without trouble,
So I tried to install a custom ROM ViperOne_6.2.0.zip
and its where everything got messed up when the installation returned an error during installation
I tried reinstalling and i think i wiped all the data on the storage including the backup using the TWRP wipe button including OS files
after several attempts i was able to re enter TWRP and/or CWP trying to install via Sideload command but failed
i cant load zip files via my PC too because my pc cant read/write the storage of my phone. (I installed USB drivers and phone is detectable on device manager)
now the bootloader have this error Active cmdline overflow! (1094 Bytes)
Since I'm a real newbie in android may I kindly ask a step-by-step instruction on how can i recover if possible from this trouble.
I would really appreciate everyone's help from this forum.

here's a guide to fix that active cmdline overflow, you messed up one of your partitions and your phone wont work until you fix that issue, you need to follow that guide to the letter, do not skip any parts, read it all first and understand it, if you get any of the commands wrong you could end up with a complete brick so copy and paste them.

Thank you for the quick reply,
I tried to install "fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-2.7-m7-nobcb.img" on fastboot. It installed correctly
when I erased cache then rebooted the fast booth, the "Active cmdline overflow! (**** Bytes)" error was gone
but when i enter recovery, it reboots again to fastboot and the error reappears.
and the cycle repeats again.
I can't get past this
one more thing...I noticed that you used a different adb C:\ADB3> is there a version 3 or is it just a folder name?
when I try to detect device in fastboot:
D:\HTCOne recover\HTCOneRoot>fastboot devices
FA32GW9**** fastboot
but when i try to use the same command on adb:
D:\HTCOne recover\HTCOneRoot>adb devices
List of devices attached
nothing on the list. And ADB commands don't work because it can't recognize the device.
I really need your help. Thanks in Advance
I would like to add that I can't access the phone storage through my PC
one more thing...
how would I know if i got these?
from the guide
"Well you need adb commands, root and busybox... which are only available in a custom recovery or a rooted ROM (with USB debugging enabled)"
1. adb commands
2. root and
3. busybox
4. custom recovery or a rooted ROM (with USB debugging enabled)

D:\HTCOne recover\HTCOneRoot>adb devices
List of devices attached
nothing on the list.
and ADB commands don't work because it can't recognize the device.
I really need your help. Thanks in Advance

adb only works from custom recovery or from a booted rom with usb debug on. adb will not works from bootloader and you will not see phone storage from bootloader.

but adb does not recognize my phone so i cant restore mmcblk0p1 like it says on the instruction
adb wont respond to any adb commands
but fastboot is responsive
"adb only works from custom recovery or from a booted rom with usb debug on."
how do i do this? How will I know if I'm running in a booted ROM with USB debug On?
I install "fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-2.7-m7-nobcb.img" on fastboot. It installed correctly but it wont enter recovery mode

First of all you will know if you are running a booted Rom if your phone boots up lol, in your case, yours doesn't, so ignore this and usb debugging.
Fastboot commands only work in bootloader.
Adb commands for you will only work inside recovery.
You must get into recovery to use adb to fix your phone, the reason you apprear to not be able to get in is because of your hboot version, you need to downgrade it, however I leave this completely in your hands and won't be held responsible if you brick your phone, simply, if you flash even the slightest wrong hboot, you'll have a brick, read the rest of that thread after the instructions, your same issue is in that thread.

ADB commands = Usable from custom recovery mode or from a normally booted phone (not your case)
FASTBOOT commands = Usable only from bootloader, where you currently are. You can't use adb here

flash the nobcb verison of twrp, boot in recovery and then you'll be able to use ADB commands.

if you are still not able to boot the nobcb recovery, better to ask in the thread Seanie280672 linked you

Wow, thank you all very much. I am now able to enter recovery mode using HBOOT -1.44.0000 through CWT recovery
no more cmdline overflow.

[Q] M7 bricked! stuck in bootloader/fastboot, cant flash anything or access recovery

Hi there.
My phone is a m7_ul, with s-on, Hboot unlocked.
Code:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.56.0000
RADIO-4a.26.3263.05
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-4.19.161.11
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Mar 5 2014, 15:58:33.0
My phone has been bricked for a while. Originally water damaged, it at first wouldn't take any custom roms or wouldn't set back to stock, but eventually I managed to get it there and it was working fine, except that at random the phone died or rebooted. Eventually I tried putting a custom ROM on it again, and that didn't quite work, because of the phone randomly rebooting. And I guess here is where I went wrong (I can literally imagine you guys flinch when I say this): I hit 'factory recovery' in bootloader.
So now I can't do anything, besides going from hboot/bootloader onto 'fastboot' (and 'show barcode'). Going from hboot/bootloader onto 'recovery' brings me to fastboot. Even 'power down' or 'reboot bootloader' from fastboot brings me back to fastboot. Sometimes at random times the phone becomes unresponsive even in fastboot so that I have to do a hard reset with power and vol-down keys. The phone charges fine, only switches off when the battery is flat. As soon as it has enough power it goes into fastboot mode.
Plugged into my win8 machine it shows in device manager as 'my htc' (but not on the 'this pc'-view!).
In fastboot, I get the serial number when I enter 'fastboot devices', which is great. With 'fastboot getvar all' I get the following:
Code:

Remove the imei and serialno from your post.
Since you are on Win 8, you might try Win 7 or Ubuntu (nkk71 has instructions Q5).

I don't know of a way to recover what's there, maybe someone else will have a suggestion. You can always flash in, oemRUU mode, a signed RUU and later flash recovery. But, you will lose all of your data, pic, music, etc.
There are certainly other ways to recover. Anyone?

not sure how that would help me? the phone is being detected and displays as 'my htc' in the windows device manager as well as with the "fastboot devices" command.
this is not the problem.
the problem is that i can't flash anything because of the returned error (image update error), which needs to be fixed but i dont know how

I don't mind losing all my data. I think the phone is pretty bricked as it is, so if I could get it to work with your help, that'd be a win. Screw keeping the data haha.

No you can't flash that one. You will have to find a signed RUU that matches your VODAP102 cidnum and your model number. Here's the link describing how to flash an RU in fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800.

Am I right in assuming that there isn't any RUU for my cid etc. needs? Haven't been able to found one yet maybe you can help?
Thanks for the link as well! Guess I'm gonna have to find the right RUU first

There is a way to change your cid in fastboot. I haven't the needed to so you'll need to do the research. If changing your cid isn't a problem, heres something: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_u_jb_50_htc_europe_1-29-401-2_r_radio_4a-14-3250-13_10-33-.

i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but pretty sure your phone is a goner
can you try the following command:

do you get to RUU mode?
you're probably also unable to relock and unlock you device, correct?

what does that 'security warning' and the error in the relocking of bootloader mean?

security warning is because you are not on [your] stock version
but it doesn't matter, the phone is fried
i'm really sorry
PS: i'm actually surprised the lock command worked

[Q] Tampered, Unlcoked, S-On Hboot 1.57 - No USB Debug Semi Bricked

Over the weekend my phone died and somehow it got stuck in boot loop with tempered flag, I reflashed the recovery from TWRP to Clockwork and factory reset, it returned back to stock..sort of.
Everything had been slow ever since the latest OTA, hence the unlock, root and recovery change but I didn't flash any rom. Until today. I tried flashing "Android Revolution HD 81.0"
Now it won't boot through, at most I get now is bootloader/fastboot/recovery or stuck on green HTC screen.
I tired using RUU via exe (can't find zip because htc1guru.com appears to be down) and it gets stuck at checking header 5%
Issues: S-ON/Hboot 1.57/No USB Debug=no adb=no firewater
I've followed every how-to there is, but all of them require USB debug in some way, I can't get into the phone to get it down, therefore adb doesn't work. at most I have are fastboot commands.
Im at my wits. I just want to get it back to stock, to do that I would need S-off or even just have a RUU that works. This is the RUU:
RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_4.19.1540.9_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353887_signed_3.exe
I've relocked it prior to update RUU but it didn't make a difference except preventing me to enter recovery for other tasks.
ANY help is appreciated

You must flash ARHD using TWRP 2.6.3.3
you can not use older RUU version to restore your phone with S-ON
You can restore your phone back to stock using a nandroid backup of your version and then flash the stock recovery back.
USB debugging is only needed to use ADB when the phone is booted in the OS. Or you can also use ADB from custom recovery even if USB debug is NOT turned on.
So depending what your goal is you should try to either flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 and reflash ARHD or restore your phone using a nandroid backup if the latest dev edition software.

alray is correct, you can not flash that RUU because you are S-ON and it is a lower version than your present phone. There is no RUU for your version at the moment only an OTA. Here is the stock firmware for your version. This would give you stock recovery, stock hboot but it may wipe all of your personal data off of the phone. Place the file in your fastboot/adb folder and rename it firmware.zip. Then you would flash it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem lock[/I][/B]
After that, type:
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.
Finally:
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]

After the reboot, you can install TWRP and then flash ARHD 81.0.

I downloaded the file and flashed it, that's what I got.

I went ahead and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3, that allowed me to have ADB and then I sideloaded the ARHD, now it's working and im setting up.
Question, now that I have the OS back, how should I go about getting S-off and the tampered warning removed. I presume this would save me from loads of trouble down the load. Thanks again in advance.

Achieve S-OFF with firewater or sunshine
Download and install this Bootloader Reset Tool

I went ahead and tried with firewater but ran into HTC anti firewater warning. I was told I needed to go back to stock Rom with bulletproof kernel to get it to work then load ARHD after. Being that if I don't intend to change the Rom any time soon, is it worth doing all the swapping around?

If you develop an issue down the road it is easier to fix with the phone being S-OFF. However, it is a personal choice.

I figured as much, thanks again! :highfive:
