Phone randomly reboots after 20-30 seconds. Help?

Decided to rewrite this as the problem is different now, not as bad, but a lot weirder! I can't get my head round whats up
Description of Problem
Right, so simplistically, the phone boots up, and you can use it (sort of) for about 30 seconds, before it reboots. Whilst its on, you can open apps, but there is definite issues with menu's not opening and you cant set a wallpaper, but its almost fully working. Then without any warning it just reboots, and does the same thing again.
I'm just confused at how it can boot up and almost fully work before rebooting. Failing to boot at all or bootlooping at the start animation, I can understand that, but not this.
Video of the Problem
What Caused the Issue
Its been a week or so since it first died, so I cant fully remember exact things that happened (I appreciate this will not be helpful!)
I had converted the phone to a google edition version using the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
Changed the MID and CID, flashed the bootloader, recovery and RUU and the whole thing worked great.
Then I got my Xperia Z, so wanted it back to stock to be sold. Problem is I locked the bootloader and went S-ON before flashing the stock bootloader because i'm an idiot! Then obviously it wouldn't boot due to locked bootloader and custom recovery, so I tried to flash stock RUU, failed naturally due to upgraded bootloader, so I unlocked the bootloader again, flashed stock, and now this happens
Things I've Tried
Factory Reset
Flashed Stock Roms (1.28 / 2.17 / 2.24 and google edition) via both flashable zip and CWM backups - flashing in fastboot doesnt work because of signature error
Revone to re S-OFF (On HBOOT 1.54 so get a -6 error)
Maybe some other things?
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help is appreciated at the moment, don't want to wait for S-OFF on 1.54 or a 2.24 RUU as that could mean a brick on my shelf for a while.

Can't you use revone to unlock? Or did you do s-on as well?
Edit: didn't mean to thank you there - this app is killing me..
Have you tried downgrading your firmware to give you the old 1.44 bootloader?

After hours of playing round I managed to get it to unlock the bootloader, so I should be fine, no idea what changed to make it work, but now it does. Out of interest for the future, how can you downgrade via fastboot with locked bootloader and S-ON?

You can't downgrade when you're s-on.

Thats what I thought, hence why I got a bit concerned earlier. Phones not fixed yet, stuck in a bootloop but my internet is slow for downloading firmwares

If you're unlocked, you should be able to flash a new recovery, and from there a new rom. You've probably mucked up something with the OS, so hopefully a wipe and flash should do the trick.

You can't - I thought you were s-off since I didn't read in your post that you went back to s-on, that's what I was asking..

The partition tables are ******, dont know why, sd card partition is unreadable and an ADB sideload still causes bootloops, this phone is really messed up and i dont know what i did
Usually I can figure the problem out. No idea now. Going to try and get the SD card back and restore an RUU from a CWM backup, then RUU it and should be fixed!
Luckily I have my trusty Xperia Z to use whilst I sort this out!

Did you try formatting your sdcard partition from your computer? That sounds like the issue. Likely you corrupted something with all those changes. Remember revone is a hack, so it;s not 100% reliable.

Genius! Dont know how i didnt think of that. Now i have an accessible SD card, just still bootlooping, itll work with the 1.28 backup and then the RUU will correct everything I've messed up

Okay, this needs a bump since this problem is weird now. The phone boots, with a number of roms, but after about 15 seconds, crashes and reboots every single time, no matter what ROM.
I have wiped system, data, cache everything, and it still does this!
Any ideas? an RUU is out of the question since i am on 2.17 and there is no RUU

Sounds like a kernel or firmware conflict. Try flashing 2.24 and see if that helps.
Edit: n/m, just saw you're s-on. I think the problem is that you've got an incompatible mix of firmwares from trying to convert to GE. You need to get s-off again somehow.

I cant flash RUU's becuase of my firmware version (2.17) flashed 1.28 via a CWM backup and the other 2 via ARHD stock odexed roms, best I think i can get becuase theres no 2.17 or 2.24 RUU that I know of

I don't mean RUUs, I mean one of the custom firmware packages that you flash in fastboot. But you need to be s-off to do that. You did something like this when you converted to GE.
This is one of the risks of going s-off, unfortunately. It lets you do stuff to your phone that can really screw it up.

Going back to S-ON was my mistake, if this phone was still S-OFF I'd have been able to fix it. But i still cant explain why it bootloops? All I did was change the MID and CID, which are now back to stock (HTC_001) and (PN07100) but it still has the Google edition bootloader, surely if that was the issue then it wouldnt boot past the bootloader, so where does the issue lie?

It could be any number of things. You changed a lot going to GE, and with S-on, the phone is now doing all its usual security checks. Something somewhere got bollixed up. It could be the GE firmware is conflicting with your CID or MID.
One way or another, you've got to get back to s-off.

Thats the solution. Or a 2.24 RUU from HTC could also do it. But revone requires a booting phone, which mine cant do, doesnt work out of recovery unfortunately. and moonshine is only for older versions. Tempted to just put this phone on a shelf and wait for an RUU. Carry on using my Xperia Z

Dont know if this will be of any help for sorting the issue, but this is all the hboot info from getvar all

Definitely cant seem to get this to work, upon booting i get lots of force closes like the messaging app and contacts storage. That a clue for anyone?
Or if anyone knows how to S-Off without a working F/W that would be a help but I doubt it can be done

[Q] Upgrading Firmware

Hey all,
I received a used T-Mobile HTC One a couple months ago (I am on T-Mobile in Miami). It came unlocked S-ON. I am a GE kind of guy and have yet to use Sense on it once. With all the firmware updates, I am wondering if it is time to upgrade the firmware as I am sure I am probably on old or original firmware. A couple of questions in particular I would like to address (and I have read on this for months but have yet to make the upgrade):
1) Pro's/Cons of T-mobile firmware vs GE firmware?
2) What is the real benefit of S-OFF exactly?
3) If I go the T-Mobile firmware upgrade with S-ON, am I going to be less likely to sell the phone on per say, SWAPPA or get less for it because I upgraded S-ON and hence have what I think is referred to as a locked H-Boot?
4) Lastly for the moment, what is the real benefit of the upgraded firwmare as I have yet to see any real change logs of any of these firmware updates?
Thank you in advance for any and all comments you have it is much appreciated!!!
Here are the details from my getvar:

3) Don't know
1 & 4) In theory updated firmware (and/or matching firmware and ROM version), should provide better stability, performance, battery life and remove any bugs it they existed. you are still on 1.xx so for example, the update to 2.xx introduced new touchscreen drivers which made the screen more responsive.
2) you are able to flash anything you want:
with an unlocked bootloader and S-ON, you can flash ROM, kernel, recovery, even radio
with S-Off (on top of above), you can flash unsigned firmware, and you are able to downgrade, even change CID and MID to any version you like, and make your phone (for example) a US Developer edition, an unbranded International version etc.
also with S-Off, you can remove TAMPERED from bootloader, set your phone LOCKED (otherwise only RELOCKED possible), and go back to 100% "out of the box" if you wish.
T-Mobile is just a GSM variant (so no need to think of it as T-Mob) and you can use pretty much any of the ROMs out there (oh if you use WiFi calling, then you have to check if it's supported in the ROM).
Hope that helps

Thanks again. I decided to S-Off and super cid since I was at it. Upgraded firmware to 3.62.401.1. Can't say I notice the difference but I'm sure the latest and greatest from where I was and soff is a great thing. Thanks again!!!

Did you go directly from 1.xx to 3.62? I would recommend flashing 2.24 first and then 3.62, because I'm not sure the 3.62 contains the updated touchscreen drivers, so if you do the 2.24 first, you'll get the updated touchscreen drivers and then go to 3.62.
EDIT: or just check the 3.62 zip, if it contains the file "tp_SYN3202.img", those were the updated drivers in 2.24

I did go directly to 3.62. I *briefly* read and saw a comment that I dont need intermittent firmwares but that was only one comment so I took the chance.
Unfortunately, the zip does NOT have that file...I assume I should push it then? Thank you for your help!!!!

I would just flash the 2.24 firmware complete and then the 3.62, easiest way in my opinion, won't take more than a minute or two.

no need to hold your breath, it's quite safe flashing firmware as long as you follow instructions (eg flash zip .... twice), and anyway with S-Off even if you semi-brick, you have a very high chance of unbricking.
i like @vomer's firmware packages cause they have boot.img and recovery.img removed, so no need to reflash the ROM or custom recovery.

[Q] RESOLVED -HTC One would not update, tried unlocking and rooting...

If anyone has some time to spare, I could really use some individual guidance.
I just purchased a used HTC One, it had 4.1.2 on it and would not update so I unlocked it and rooted it.
Now though, I keep getting stuck no matter what I try...
I've been trying to get S Off, I have the 1.44 version of hboot I think it's called, and CWS_001 and PN0712000. I can't get S Off to work, even after updating to 4.2.2, now my wifi will not connect. I keep getting stuck in boot loop, or TWRP will not load. I've tripped the 'tamper' flag and would like to get rid of that.
I'm just not familiar enough with all the instructions to purposefully move from where I'm at to where I want to go. I would like to have 4.4 eventually and be unlocked and rooted with a custom ROM with no HTC overlay.
If there is any chance anyone would be willing to walk me through, I would greatly appreciate it. My S3 is working fine so I'm not desperate, but getting there quickly.
Thank you.
I've spent the last 12 hours going around in circles, my Chrome browser looks like 100 tabs are open across the top with all the pages I've been reading trying to figure this thing out. I feel like an idiot about now. Anyways, thanks to anybody for considering helping ahead of time.

Thank you! So, there is no requirement for root, locked/unlocked, previous/installed ROM etc??? Doesn't care what build of my HTC ONE or anything?
Sounds too good to be true.
Will I still be rooted and unlocked afterwards?
Is this a stock ROM?
Downloading now, thanks for the help.

"Sent from my recliner" Well played Sir...
I see by your signature, you are exactly where I want to be. I too have the CSW_001 version. I was up until 2 this morning messing with it so I'm 'off' for the night but will be up bright and early following your suggestion, thank you for that.
Might I still find you in your recliner should I happen to falter? I'm hoping that after this works, I can put my One in the same condition as yours, S Off etc...
Any further pointers on that score? You know exactly the state my One will be in after I get done with your previous advice.
Thanks again, I really appreciate your assistance.

Because ViperOne 5.0 is so new it's going to take a couple of steps for you to get to where I am.
I'm going to use @nkk71 SuperGuide from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082.
Lets see If I can get this in the right order
First lets get all the files together before you start
Download
the RUU.exe
TWRP 2.6.3.3 >> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
Guru Bootloader Reset from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_boo...reset_1-0-zip/ (this is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2527194)
Get Both rumrunner and firewater to get S-Off: http://firewater-soff.com/ and http://rumrunner.us/
I Recommend having ARHD 31.6 for Getting s-off >> http://xda7.androidrevolution.nl/db_mirror/ROMs/HTC_One/Android_Revolution_HD-One_31.6.zip
and finally download your ViperOne 5.0 Rom
I'm going to alter the steps somewhat from the above guide because of what you have already done to the phone.
as I understand it your already on 4.2.2 from 4.1.2 is this correct?
here's the steps using the above files
Run the 3.17.502.3 RUU for AT&T (don't bother setting up the phone much your going to loose everything in the next step)
Unlock the bootloader again @ HTCDEV.com
Reboot to bootloader (fastboot USB)- Flash the 2.6.3.3 TWRP Recovery
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Boot into Recovery and flash ARHD 31.6 (again use minimal setup your not going to be here long)
Get S-off (rumrunner should work fine / or just go with firewater your choice)
next is the Guru reset to remove the Tampered flag ... don't lock the bootloader.
and last step is flash ViperOne 5.0 and Enjoy your new phone
Note: I typed most of this from memory and if I missed any important steps Please feel free to correct me @nkk71 :good:

and finally download your ViperOne 5.0 Rom
I'm going to alter the steps somewhat from the above guide because of what you have already done to the phone.
as I understand it your already on 4.2.2 from 4.1.2 is this correct?
here's the steps using the above files
Run the 3.17.502.3 RUU for AT&T (don't bother setting up the phone much your going to loose everything in the next step)
Unlock the bootloader again @ HTCDEV.com
Reboot to bootloader (fastboot USB)- Flash the 2.6.3.3 TWRP Recovery
Boot into Recovery and flash ARHD 31.6 (again use minimal setup your not going to be here long)
Get S-off (rumrunner should work fine / or just go with firewater your choice)
next is the Guru reset to remove the Tampered flag ... don't lock the bootloader.
and last step is flash ViperOne 5.0 and Enjoy your new phone
Note: I typed most of this from memory and if I missed any important steps Please feel free to correct me @nkk71 :good:

Wow, this is great! Just what I need, step by step by step. Like when the golfer hits something up there a couple of inches and the announcer proclaims, "Even I could make that putt." Thank you.
Now, I'm going to give you an opportunity to look your instructions over again while I'm downloading the V1 5.0 ROM (or, another RUU?) (What's the difference btw?) and the ARHD 31.6 file (I'm on lowly 12mb connection so going to take me 40 minutes) before I get started. I already had the other files.
I'm following your instructions blindly so if you've missed something, I'm hosed (I don't want to be hosed, tyvm).
Is that enough?

Well, not sure what to do though, the error claims my phone should be in one of two states, either rebooted (no) or black screen with HTC logo and 4 exclamation marks in the corners of the screen (no either). I have the HTC logo but no exclamation points.
The options given by the program are EXIT if phone has rebooted or NEXT to start recovery process.

Error 155 usually means your using the wrong RUU
which means you phone is not CID CWS_001
MID PN0712000. not sure how you got that info
Just exit the update utility

then post your "fastboot getvar all" ( excluding SerialNo and IEMI )

I can't remember exactly but I did run something and that was returned, I wrote it down.
I use Chrome (I've heard others having problems with Chrome and large file downloads) so I'm downloading that RUU again using IE.
I'm going to hit NEXT to start recovery process.
Will getvar once done, if I can...
I'm positive about the CWS_001 etc...

I did not check MD5 (I know I've done that before but not very familiar, instructions?) (I am downloading that file again with IE, almost done).
I did not reboot the phone, only exited the program as instructed and ran getvar.

[Q] I've fallen and I can't get up!

I've successfully played with custom roms for years, but I managed to completely corrupt my Sprint HTC One M7 and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get it back to being a working phone.
It's rooted and unlocked. I think a bad download of a recovery or rom corrupted either the storage or firmware or both.
When I first rooted it, I did have some problems. However, I was able to recover and successfully ran the Revolution ROM for about a month. I wanted to try the Viper ROM and that action (not the ROM itself, of course) put the device into its current bricked state.
I can still flash different recoveries. I can install new ROMs. I've even attempted to flash stock recoveries and run a factory reset to completely reset the phone's partitions. However the phone is unusable. I even have a OTG cable to grab ROMS from a USB stick. TWRP doesn't recognize the internal storage of the phone, but it does recognize the USB stick on the OTG cable. ClockWork can see all of the storage on the phone.
I have tried relocking and running RUUs, but I think I am doing it incorrectly because my phone is still S-ON and if that is the case, you have to find the right version of RUU that is an upgrade rather than a downgrade of the phone. The RUUs always error out. Perhaps someone will be able to provide a correct link as I have screen pictures and Model ID info I can include.
Behavior: As I try to show in the pictures I've attached, I can install customer ROMS or alleged stock ROMS onto the phone. When the process completes, I am presented with the stock lock screen for the M7. When I swipe the screen I am presented with a white HTC screen that is similar to the boot screen, but note there is no other writing. This is not the boot screen. Rather, it is all you get.
If you are tethered to a PC, you can see the storage on your list of drives.
However, after about 90 seconds, the phone auto reboots, and you are in a loop.
The phone is 13 months old, so I don't think I can just relock it and walk into a Sprint store and ask for a replacement.
Moreover, I think this is fixable, I just don't know how quite yet.
Thanks for those pros out there who can help me get out of this mess of my own making.

The question is, does such an RUU exist?
If it does not, is there a stock or custom ROM Zip that, while not packaged in an RUU, might work? Although if that were the case, the ROM's I've already tried to use might actually work.
Or, should I attempt to S-Off the phone (something I've never done before) in order to try an RUU to work?
Thanks for your initial answers. Sounds like I don't have enough to move forward quite yet.

This is not an RUU,it's firmware, the the guide I linked to will get you fixed up.
I'm actually surprised you were able to run ARHD for so long without issues, it's most likely the cause of the problems.
Edit: I noticed I did not include the 4.06.651.9 firmware in the rescue guide...it's now added.

I have downloaded two firmwares from your guide. the 4.06.651.9 and the 5.03.651.3
The biggest problem I am currently having is downloading the TWRP recovery without an error. I'm even using download manager on one of my laptops and it sticks at 99%. This is probably how I got into trouble in the first place. I'm attempting 2.7.1.0
Is there a solid version of TWRP earlier that should try and download instead?

I've tried to parse out your directions to make sure I do this correctly. Can you please check to make sure I'm understanding you correctly?
First step is to flash the firmware:
I've downloaded 4.06.651.9 s-on firmware per your suggestion becuase that's the current version of my phone.
Then I need to rename it to just plain firmware.zip
Then on the phone:
Boot to bootloader and lock the bootloader by typing:
fastboot oem lock
in my ADB/Fastboot dos session.
Then use these commands:
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
which will flash the firmware.
Then: If you get this error after the second command (most likely will)
failed 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately
press the UP Arrow on your keyboard and press enter to issue the command again. Essentially, you are flashing the firmware a second time.
Then, unlock the bootloader again
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Here's the part where I'm a little uncertain. You state:
8a. If you are using the 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware I would suggest you push this Stock Rooted Odexed Rom to your device or it may not boot.
8b. After flashing the 4.06.651.4 rom you will most likely need to flash the latest radio because the 4.06 firmware does not have a radio included find it HERE
Since I am flashing the 4.06.651.9 s-on firmware and not the 4.06.651.4 s-on firmware, do I need to used that suggested Rom? Or can I use any other standard Rom?
Also, earlier in the guide, you state:
If you are already on 4.06.651.4 or 4.06.651.9 you will have to flash the 3.05.651.6 s-off firmware first...reason being is the 4.06 s-off firmware does not have the latest radio included
Do I need to worry about that since I'm flashing the s-on firmware and not the s-off firmware?
Thanks for your help on this. If I were this careful the first time around, maybe I wouldn't have gotten to this point. Luckily, my old Evo4G is in good condition so I've put it into service while I try and fix the HTC One.

I would use this rom just to get you up and running and you can then make a backup of the stock rom.

Interestingly enough, I just saw someone with an HTCONE M7 tonight running Sense 6. I was floored at how different and sleek it looked. I hope that once I have a working phone again, I'll be able to get all the way to Sense 6.
But until then, I have to get this one working.

Ok. So I am reporting back. It's a good news / bad news kind of situation.
I relocked the device.
Flashed the 4.06.651.9_firmware
It took two times exactly as predicted and was successful.
I had a little trouble re-unlocking it again, because I needed to resubmit the device of a new unlock.bin. The process changed the token. I suppose that makes sense.
I then flashed TWRP. On a positive note, TWRP allowed me to mount selections that were previously un-mountable.
However, when I put the unit into ADB Sideload mode and then attempted to adb side load from my PC, adb still did not recognize the device. Fastboot does, but adb doesn't.
However, since I had an OTG cable, I merely used that to have TWRP install the stock ROM you suggested.
It finished. I rebooted.
And it's still un-usable. Boots with the nice Sprint screen. One difference, I get an error about htcdialer freezing. I get the stock lock screen. I unlock to a white HTC screen.
The device shows up in device manager as my HTC but I don't see it as a listed drive anymore.
And the device reboots after about 2 minutes.
So, like I said, some success, but it still isn't usable.
Suggestions?

I did not flash the radio. I may have been confused, but I thought I didn't need to because I was S-On, not S-Off. At this point, it doesn't matter though, so I'll try it.
Do I need to go through the same steps as flashing the firmware?
Relock.
rebootRUU
Or can I just fastboot flash the radio?

I'm thinking I should try and take it back to stock, but I don't know where I should go from here and I'm worried I might screw it up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!

Go to RUU mode and flash an RUU. There's a lot of threads explaining how to go to back to stock on this forum. If it still doesn't work, it might be an internal issue like the motherboard.

Can someone please recommend an RUU to go to... I'm just worried if I use the wrong one it will cause more issues. I thought RUUs were dependent on the CID num and as that's been changed to allow custom roms... I'd be happy taking it back to a plain old vanilla HTC / Google - just something to get it back alive.
Thanks

Should also add I can't get s-off... adb devices doesn't show anything... I'm guessing usb debugging wasn't set up

There is no ruu we can recommend because your version-main is blank the fact that you also have superCID doesn't help identifying which ruu you'll need to use.

You'll have to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (twrp preferred), flash a rom and use your phone like that or, if you want, from there you will be able to achieve s-off again and convert your phone to wherever you want (Stock Sense or stock GPE) by flashing a RUU.

Thanks so much for this... I've been learning more all day (traditionally an iOS guy)...
Am I right in thinking I would need to sideload a custom rom through twrp and then install it? If so, I'm having an issue getting my laptop to talk to the phone - "adb devices" is pretty flakey to say the least, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't... I've read various things about Windows 8 and that adb works best on Windows 7, can you please confirm I'm on the right track here. I'd like to put the Viper rom on it.
Thanks again

In order to flash custom recovery you need to be booted to bootloader menu, and use fastboot commands. If you flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 or later, there's no need to sideload a ROM because newer TWRP recoveries have MTP option, so you use that. Try to go to bootloader, connect your phone to your laptop or PC, and issue a command fastboot devices. If it shows your phone, you're good to go

Thanks donkeyking1...
I got it working eventually, I needed to install new drivers for Windows 8 then adb started behaving properly. I ended up pushing the Viper ROM to the phone... The phone's alive now but currently it has no IMEI, baseband or OS - they're all blank. I'm wondering if it's because I've installed Viper 9 without upgrading the firmware first? My next goals are to try and S-OFF the device so I can install a stock rom, at which point hopefully I'll get OTA updates and then go back to Viper 9 - it looks great, I just can't use it! - no phone signal!
Does that sound like the right approach? I'm trying to flash different custom roms to hopefully find one that works with rumrunner. I've read that some folks have managed to S-OFF on hboot 1.57 with rumrunner, but it's picky on the rom that's installed. It doesn't work on Viper 9...
If anyone can add any help it would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

flash the 7.19.401.2 firmware and then the 7.19.401.2 RUU. If you still have imei problem after that, its most likely an hardware defect.
relock your bootloader if not already locked or re-locked:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
fastboot orm rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
fastbppt flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip
fastboot reboot
*** use htc_fastboot.exe for flashing the ruu (linked below). Save all files in the same folder where you already have fastboot.exe and adb.exe on your computer.
M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip
htc_fastboot.exe

Alray, just curious (still learning ), how do you know from the info I've given you that the firmware / RUU you've suggested is one to fix the issues - I've struggled to understand this the past few days - thanks!

To flash a ruu on a s-on phone there are many prerequisites:
The RUU must match your MID: 7.19.401.2 is for PN0710000
The RUU must match your CID: You have superCID so its not a problem.
The RUU must be the same version or an upgrade from your actual version, we don't know your actual version because of your blank versio-main but you have 1.57 hboot which suggest a 6.xx.xxx.x version. So 7.19.401.2 should be an upgrade.
The bootloader must be locked or re-locked.
There is no risk trying it, the worst that can happen is that the phone won't accept the ruu and nothing will be flashed.

Super CID + your MID. WWE firmware should work just fine. Right @alray?

Well, thanks so much for your help guys, but alas it seems the phone is k-put... Flashed the firmware and the rom no problem.... but it still shows no IMEI / IMEI SV / IMSI and it can't recognise the phone number - I'm guessing it can't read the sim. It does show the OS and IMEI in the bootloader, but once booted it's a no go.

Try to bend your sim tray just a little bit. Maybe your sim card is not reaching the contacts inside the phone. Or put a piece of paper under the sim and see what happens

Thanks donkeykong1, I've tried but it's not working... The fact the IMEI / IMEI SV and baseband are unknown though... they're not sim related...
It does show the baseband and IMEI in fastboot getvar all though?...

There were a lot of people with that same issue, and their phones worked fine, so I doubt it has anything to do with your sim. Your sim works in another phone?

Yeah, the sim's fine. @alray said it's likely a hardware issue if the firmware / rom didn't repair the IMEI issue, and the other threads I've looked at with the same issue are all saying the motherboard's faulty.

Although I am baffled as to why it is showing the IMEI / baseband in the bootloader, in fastboot etc. but not once the phone has booted up?...
I read on another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253514) that maybe flashing a kernal and/or radio might solve it?
Just wondering whether I should try flashing an official HTC rom? I've been in touch with the guy I got it off and he said it was originally on Orange, UK:
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads > One M7 / v5.0.2 > Find Files : Page 6
One M7 / Orange / UK / CRC / 3.4.10 / v5.0.2 / 539.0 MB / 7.19.61.10
Was also thinking of...
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads > One M7 / v5.0.2 > Find Files : Page 1
One M7 / HTC / EU / MR 3 / 3.4.10 / v5.0.2 / 486.0 MB / 7.19.401.22
If I did that would I need to update the firmware first like you advised originally @alray?
If I know I can revive the IMEI etc. I'll be happy to go ahead and pay to S-OFF
Thanks in advance

You need a kernel to match your firmware. If you're on 7.19.401.2, then you need 7.19.401.2 kernel. I can give you boot.img, but I don't have the whole zip, with modules. Then again, if your phone boots fine, maybe boot.img will help. I'd [email protected] to confirm my thoughts though. He's much more into this than I am
