[Q] HTC One M7 - GPE - NO Command - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone
This is somewhat urgent and random. I literally woke up today and my phone has had the "No Command" Dialogue.. I do not know how it came about, the phone was working fine the night before, so I am not sure if the phone tried to update. The phone keeps on restarting back to the No Command dialogue. Your Help will be greatly appreciated!
I have an HTC One M7 GPE. It says LOCKED and S-On

So your phone is rebooting to the stock recovery.
First, try to erase cache
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
If that doesn't work, try a factory reset
And finally you might be able to restore the phone using a RUU, you'll have to post the output of "fastboot getvar all" so we can direct you to the correct one.

Thank you so much for your response.
Questions:
How and where do I type those commands, and how do I use the "getvar"

I have some questions about what I installed, and If i installed the correct programs. I installed the SDK and the Drivers. Do I need to to install the packages with in the SDK? Do I also need to install the minimal ADB fastboot? Also, how do I access the command window, is it just the basic command prompt. I am a noob. I apologize.

I am typing the command in the ADB fastboot command prompt window. I am also typing the command at the "No Command" dialogue. Is that where/when I should be typing the commands? Or at the boot loader?
I typed in the first command, and it say's it's waiting for device.
How do I know if it's reading via USB.

The phone must be booted in bootloader / fastboot usb mode like explained in the link posted above.

If you didn't synced your files with a cloud service like dropbox/google drive you'll loose everything on the phone. The only way to backup files from a phone in this state is by using adb from a custom recovery but since your bootloader is locked you can't do that (unlocking the bootloader to flash a custom recovery will wipe the phone).
You can use the 5.11.1700.3 RUU to restore your phone. This will also wipe everything from the phone like if it was brand new.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
make sure to use the fastboot.exe version posted in that thread to flash the ruu.

This is quite tragic. Do you know why my phone is in the state it's in? Originally, it kept trying to install 5.1, but it kept getting an error and stopping, would this have been the cause? I don't even understand why it did that.
So, If I do do the RUU to restore. can I go back to install the 5.1. Or will it do it automatically for me?
I really appreciate your help! I wish more people could answer.

Also,
Should I take this opportunity to do anything with my phone, like Unlock or S-Off? Is it worth it. Since I may have to wipe it clean, I might as well make it fully unlocked and s-off? Your thoughts?

It could be because of corrupted files, failed ota updates or even hardware failure.

The ruu will install the same version you were on before the phone died, you should be able to update to 5.1 after (6.04.1700.6).

The phone must be able to boot in order to achieve s-off and since its s-on the bootloader must be locked or re-locked to flash the RUU.
Once it can boot then you can achieve s-off if you want before updating it.

OK.
For the RUU Install, since I am an idiot and afriad:
Step by Step:
- I install the RUU for 5.11.1700.3 (since that's what my GetVar says I have)
- I follow these steps afterwards:
1. Rename file to RUU.zip
2. Place it in adb folder
3. Reboot phone to fastboot mode
4. S On need to relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock) , S Off lock not needed
5. Also use the htc_fastboot.exe not the normal fastboot.exe
get the htc_fastboot.exe : Here
Rename htc_fastboot to fastboot or if you don't rename it, then the command will be "htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip"
Run the following commands from your adb folder:
6.htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
7.htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
8.htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader
And then I am done?

Yes no need to do step 4 as your bootloader is already locked.
Don't forget you need to use fastboot.exe version provided in this thread
And careful when renaming the file to "ruu.zip". If the .zip is hidden before renaming the file "ruu" do not add .zip because you'll have double file extensions (ruu.zip + the hidden .zip = ruu.zip.zip). If you want to avoid double file extension, configure Window so it will never hide file extension.
If you have any problem during this process, post a screenshot of your command window so we can see what is wrong exactly.

can you post a "fastboot getvar all" excluding IMEI and s/n
it looks like you messed up some things, including your misc partition, fix that first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739126
then use an RUU
PS: you'll need to have bootloader unlocked, if you can't manage to unlock it in this state, let me know (but i'll need the output of your getvar all, excluding IMEI and s/n)

First off, make sure you're not on Windows 8.1, use Win7 or ubuntu or mac.
flash the attached file (that will downgrade hboot to 1.44, and install the noBCB recovery):
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fw_hb144_twrp-nobcb.zip
fastboot flash zip fw_hb144_twrp-nobcb.zip <- yes TWICE
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
-> enter RECOVERY
then follow the steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739126 to fix your corrupted misc partition.
once done, use https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358544977 to reset everything back to stock (in case something else is corrupt)
rename the above file to ruu.zip:
fastboot oem rebootRUU

Do you have htcsync installed on your pc it's known to cause problems with RUU mode. If so uninstall htcsync but keep the drivers.
Then try flash the RUU again

just reboot the phone and start the RUU process again till it finishes.
Did you md5 check your RUU download to be sure it's not corrupt ?

Step 2

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fw_hb144_twrp-nobcb.zip
fastboot flash zip fw_hb144_twrp-nobcb.zip <- yes TWICE
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache​
Step 3
-> enter RECOVERY
then follow the steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739126 to fix your corrupted misc partition.​
Step 4
once done, use https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358544977 to reset everything back to stock (in case something else is corrupt)
rename the above file to ruu.zip:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes TWICE
fastboot reboot-bootloader​
Am understanding correctly that
Step 1: confirmed
Step 2: successful
Step 3: completed successfully
Step 4: this is where you get stuck??

your pc completely freezes
then either fix your PC issues (whatever they may be, drivers, antivirus programs, firewalls, etc), or make life simple and make an Ubuntu Live USB (no need to install it, you can boot directly off a USB stick), check FAQ #5 here

You don't need drivers for your phone on ubuntu. If you have ubuntu running with adb/fastboot installed that's all you need. It will work

HTC One M7 Stuck in a Boot Loop

Alright, I recently purchased a phone that was stuck at the screen with the download icon in the arrow circle (http://forum.xda-developers.com/album.php?albumid=11886). When it is like this is can not be put into hboot. I then somehow got the phone into a boot loop. I did wipe the cache and that did not fix the problem. I did a factory reset via hboot, and it sent me back to the screen I mentioned before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/album.php?albumid=11886). I've now gotten the phone back into boot looping so I can access hboot. Recovery does work and you can access all the options. This phone is basically a stock HTC One M7. Has not been rooted, is locked, and it S-ON. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Could you link me to a tutorial? Apparently I need to know my MID and CID, and the video I did find to do that, needed usb debugging turned on in the settings which I don't even know if that is on. Can you link me to a how to tutorial for how to do this?

Do I need a computer to do this? There's no option for this under fastboot in hboot. Currently don't have a computer available to me.

Yes you need a computer with the latest android sdk installed and latest HTC drivers installed.
Btw, why did you buy this phone?

I bought it for a friend. He wanted something other than his locked up att samsung s4 active. He doesn't have much money and he figured he could fix this one and if he could't, he would just sell it again. I am personally used to iPhones (typing this on a jailbroken 4s right now) so this is all pretty new to me. We started troublesing it yesterday and he seemed to get stumped. He hates forums so I went ahead and signed up and made this post for him. Currently I have no access to a computer right now (at least one where I can install sdk and so on), but will have access later today. Will post when I have it.

Latest HTC driver here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8pawcxm9walwras/HTC_Driver_4.14.0.001.exe
You can install minimal adb and fastboot instead of the complete sdk, will be easier to use for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Once you have both installed, connect the phone to your computer, make sure its booted in bootloader mode --> fastboot mode and showing "fastboot usb" in red.
On your computer: Start menu --> Programs --> Minimal adb and fasboot --> minimal adb and fastboot
in the command prompt, type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
copy and paste the output here (except the imei and s/n)
see you later

Ok well there is no RUU you can use with s-on so while the bootloader is locked all you can do is try to flash the current firmware. If the phone doesn't boot after that you will need to unlock the bootloader.
Download the firmware here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543602 put the zip in your fastboot folder on your pc and rename it "firmware.zip" Now with fastboot usb connected in the bootloader flash the firmware with the following fastboot commands
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
case sensitive
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now try to reboot the phone. If it doesn't boot you should now at least be able to do a factory reset. But you will need to unlock the bootloader at www.htcdev.com register an account and follow the instructions in the Unlock My Bootloader section. :good:

Followed your instructions. Everything went good. I did a factory reset and the phone actually ended up rebooting. It's now just sitting here, and seems to be stuck at the htc logo. Going to go ahead and follow the steps to unlock my bootloader then report back.

Now the bootloader is unlocked you will need to flash a custom recovery and install a new Rom.
Download this http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img *<<<<< Put this in your fastboot folder and rename it recovery.img
Download this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274
Boot the device to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. Flash the recovery with fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When back in the bootloader select Recovery from the menu to load TWRP recovery. Before we do anything else a little spring cleaning. Select "Wipe" from the TWRP menu the "Format Data" You will be prompted to type yes to continue. When its done Select "Reboot" then "Reboot Recovery" You will see a message "No OS Installed" Reboot anyway and say No when asked to install supersu.
Now back in TWRP recovery you should be able to see the Internal Storage on your PC. Copy the rom file to the Internal Storage then from the TWRP menu select install and choose the rom .zip :good:
During the install with Aroma choose these options
Stock Radio = Yes
Stock Recovery = Yes
Root = No
When the install is completed reboot the device and hopefully it should boot up normally without any problems :good: :fingers-crossed:
P.S The first boot after a new flash can take an extended amount of time. Don't be supprised if it's stuck on the HTC logo screen for 15 minutes+ Just be patient

For s-off he will have to use Sunshine App it's the only working method for hboot 1.57. It does cost $25 but It's very easy. Just install and run the app :good:
Rooting can be done a number of ways the 2 easiest are to allow TWRP to install SupeSu when leaving recovery. Or you can install root with the Guru reset rom by selecting root during the installer. Also if he want's to keep the TWRP recovery don't take the stock recovery during the rom install.

alright. when formatting, I have been getting an unable to mount /cache and /system. should i be worries. Also, so when I do install the supesu? Can you give me some more detailed instructions like you have been doing? They're very helpful!!2220

Unable to mount /cache and /system happens during format or after? Did you reboot recovery after the format?
When you exit recovery TWRP will detect wheather or not the device is rooted. If it's not rooted TWRP will ask if you want to install supersu to root the phone. Say yes and TWRP will install root.
Although you could just install root when you install the rom. Just install with these options instead
Stock = Recovery No
Stock = Radio Yes
Root = Yes

It seems to say this while it is updating partition details. Havent rebooted it as I wasn't sure about the cache and everything. So I guess before.

When you format data it is like repartitioning the phone. All the partitions are gone until you reboot. That's the reason they won't mount

you already have the stock bootloader, there are no custom bootloaders for this phone AFAIK. if you want the OTA, just replace the custom recovery with the stock recovery(you can find this one in the firmware.zip) of your software version.
And don't forget to re-lock the bootloader (not so sure if this is necessary but doesn't harm if you are staying stock)
EDIT: hide your serial no. and IMEI/MEID numbers its not safe to expose them online

no, just type the commands in cmd and the path to recovery on your pc. "fastboot oem lock" will lock the bootloader again.
Note: make sure you have backup of the file you used to unlock again in the future, this file should have been emailed to you from htcdev.com (dont forget unlocking again will erase user data not SD)
just to simplify:
1)reboot to bootloader
2)scrolldown to fastboot and check it with power button(if its already checked you will see FASTBOOT/FASTBOOT USB in red )
3)type "fastboot flash recovery path_to_recovery.img" (if recovery.img is in C: then path is C:/recovery.img)
4)type "fastboot oem lock"
5)reboot phone
if it gives any errors tell me

Boot the phone in bootloader, connect it to your computer, select "fastboot" and make sure "fastboot usb" is shown in red.
Then open your command prompt from your "minimal adb and fastboot" folder
then in the command prompt type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Copy/paste the output here except for your IMEI/Serial number.

Like I said at post #2, don't post your IMEI so edit your above post and remove it.
You said that your phone was S-OFF but I can see Its S-ON? You turned back S-ON?
Unlock your bootloader
Flash TWRP recovery
Restore the 5.16.111.4 twrp nandroid backup
flash the 5.16.111.4 stock recovery
boot the phone in the system check for ota updates and install all ota updates from 5.16.111.4 to 7.18.111.2

Download the nandroid back and extract all files to your desktop. Boot in custom recovery (TWRP) a make a backup of "boot" only (this is only to generate the backup path on your phone). once done go to "my computer --> HTC One --> Internal Storage --> TWRP --> Backups --> Your serial number --> today's date backup" Erase all file in this folder (these are your boot backup files) and replace them with the files previously extracted on your desktop. Once done go in twrp "restore" menu and restore the backup, select all partition available to restore (system, boot, data).
Flashing the stock recovery is the same process as flashing a custom one
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

i dont know the version its like 1 year old but doesn't matter it worked u solved my problem that i was strangling with for half of the year

[Q] ADB can't find phone

So I'm trying to update my firmware so I can get android 5.1 working on my phone to try it out. But I am running into trouble with adb finding my phone.
When I enter "adb devices" it returns a list of nothing, entering kill-server and start-server doesn't help.
My phone says fastboot USB when I plug it in and my computer says HTC One is found and working in the device manager (on my windows 8 machine it had a yellow exclamation next to it saying unknown device so I switched to a windows 7 machine which picks it up instantly)
I also tried using Squabbi's HTC one toolkit to s-off (I have hboot 1.44) as that is needed to update the firmware however it cannot connect to my phone either (same adb problem)
adb is seemingly installed correctly, I've tired all usb 2 and usb 3 ports on my laptop and tried multiple usb cables. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalled different HTC drivers, I also tried installing the google usb drivers.
I need helps

If your phone says "fastboot usb" then it its booted in bootloader / fastboot mode.
ADB only works from a booted rom with usb debugging turned on or from a booted custom recovery (no matter if usb degug is on/off)
when in bootloader / fastboot usb mode, use fastboot commands, in this case "fastboot devices" will work.

hboot 1.44 isn't compatible with windows 8, use windows 7 or the windows 8 drivers fix. Will work fine after hboot is updated.

To achieve s-off on hboot 1.44 use Revone
as that is needed to update the firmware

Always use usb 2.0 ports.

Thanks for the reply!
I was following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybu7fZa41so
using the fastboot commands listed which would result in cmd saying "waiting for device" forever. I didn't know adb and fastboot were different commands, adb works now that I know how to use it. Fastboot is still giving me trouble always waiting.
Should I update Hboot? I have my phone connected to a win7 laptop so that isn't a problem. Are there benefits other than windows 8?

The linked firmware is a custom firmware and requires s-off to be flashed. Why not simply updating your phone normally via ota updates from 1.29.666.5 to the latest Bell mobility version 7.17.666.7 and then you'll be able to flash 5.0+ custom roms.
If you want s-off better to achieve it now, its an easy task when on hboot 1.44 (revone s-off), newer hboot version will requires to use paid methods like sunshine s-off.

Change your CID to GOOGL001:
boot in bootlaoder / fastboot usb mode
using fastboot enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid GOOGL001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then confirm your cid is now GOOGL001:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
output must be "GOOGL001"
reboot in ruu mode:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
flash this firmware, not the one you have linked above:
Code:
fastboot flash zip m7_GPE_5.1_FULL_firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip m7_GPE_5.1_FULL_firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then reflash twrp:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot in recovery, push the GPE rom to your phone and flash it. Reboot and your phone should boot in the 5.1 rom (first boot can take up to 10-15 mins, will be stuck at htc splash screen)
Dont forget to backup your important files before, the firmware flash will wipe your phone.

Wait, I'll make some modification to the firmware so it can be flashed on your phone and I'll send it to you in a few minutes.

If you flash the latest twrp version (2.8.7.0), you'll be able to see your phone storage from your computer when booted in twrp main menu. Copy your rom (drag and drop) from its current location to "My computer --> HTC One --> internal storage --> your rom.zip here"
or you can use adb push
Phone must be booted in twrp main menu and the rom.zip mus tbe in the same folder where adb is installed:
Code:
adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard
the command window will be unresponsive as long as the transfer is not completed (around 10 min)

Everything is up and running! Thanks for all the help!
One last question though haha, would you flash something like ElementalX on top of this 5.1 rom?

If you need some of elementalX features then yes flash it, you can always revert back to the previous kernel that comes with the rom by extracting it from the rom.zip and flashing it using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
ElementalX kernel must be flashed in recovery.
