[Q] HTC One GPE - RUU Install - Phone Shut Down - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Yesterday @alray was helping me reboot my phone since I was stuck on the Bootloader and it kept rebooting to "no
command" I ended up installing the RUU via the adb htc_fastboot, and it worked!
Here is the link to that thread: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/htc-one-m7-gpe-command-t3151389/page3#post61741252
So when I started my phone and I started to register my account again since everything was wiped clean, everything was fine then all of a sudden the phone froze and then it completely turned off. I do not know why. I was in the settings page when it froze. Now it will not turn on anymore. I have no idea why it's doing this. When I plug in the charger, no green light indicator comes on. It all seemed fine. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it detected when you connect it to your computer? What does it says when you go in windows device manager with the phone connected?

Then its really bad news, sorry.
If your phone randomly shut down and now detected as dload mode its an hardware failure.

But why? It was completely fine yesterday. The battery was perfect. Why does it completely fail after I do the RUU?

There needs to be a way to solve this issue. It cannot be coincidental that it just fails now.

No it wasn't completely fine yesterday, don't you remember why you had to flash a ruu? Your phone, for an unknown reason, randomly shut down and was only able to boot in recovery mode. Maybe the emmc chip was starting to act weird and some data got corrupted, flashing the ruu fixed that until the emmc died completely today, that is one possibility.

If it had something to do with the RUU, the phone wouldn't have booted and it would still be stuck at the same point it was yesterday.

If you want you can try the unbrick project but like explained in that guide, it will only work if the phone went in this mode directly after flashing an incompatible firmware which is not possible on your phone since it's S-ON. Anyway it worth a try before sending it for repair / garbage but don't expect this to work....

Do you even know what is qualcomm download mode? It mean that the phone can't boot because of hardware damage (probably the emmc) or corrupted bootloader. To possibly fix a corrupted bootlaoder on a M7 you'll need to send your phone to a JTAG service, if its an hardware failure you'll need a new motherboard. You are not the first one in this situation, hundred of M7 died this way here and same for other devices using qualcomm's chipset. Unfortunately, I never heard of someone being able to push a new bootloader using QPST like its possible on some other qualcomm devices to fix a possibly corrupted bootloader.

I know it's happened before, but ill try everything before I have to acquiesce. I also read posts with how some people their phone did not turn for 2 days, but then all of a sudden, it comes back on. I am being super optimistic as you can tell.... I am not mad at you or anything, I truly appreciate your help.
I will let you know if anything updates after tonight or tomorrow.

[Q] Bricked m7u

Hi guys, I have the non-lte One running on 2.24.707.3. Today, I restored my stock nandroid (4.2.2) and then tried the rumrunner s-off (rumrunner_m7_2.24.401.1). It worked, and I was successfully s-off, superCID on hboot 1.54. I then flashed a modified hboot(descenpet_HBOOT_1.54_2.24_MOD) to remove the red warning. All went well. Later, while I was recieving a call, the phone got hung up, so I did a reset (holding the power + vol down buttons). The phone got switched off, but never booted back up.. I tried holding the power + vol down buttons but even the buttons aren't flashing.. Connecting it to my pc makes no connection sounds, and again holding the combo makes no difference. The charging light also doesn't light up. Please tell me what I should do, and whether it is a hard brick or soft brick. Thanks in advance.
Just press and hold the power button on it's own and see if anything happens

why did you use modified hboot now you are in serious trouble. As you are supercid download any ruu and try flashing and if your pc can connect via fastboot you can fix your phone. To check you must type in adb fastboot devices. if results are positive tell me i can help you then

I used a modded hboot to remove the red warning, have a look at this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726)
To do an RUU, I need to reboot in fastboot, but I can't even get the phone to charge.. Of course adb doesn't detect it..
Another point to note is that I rebooted several times after flashing the modded hboot, and it worked all those times, so this is just random... :'(
Why do people care about the red writing? Unless you're sending it to HTC for repair it makes no difference! It just leads to complications such as this

Well, 2 things
1: The process worked, ok? It's a perfect process to remove the red text, and the modded hboot also worked, I rebooted several times after flashing it.
2: The matter of the fact is that I am actually sending it in for camera replacement.. I guess I'll just tel them to replace the mobo along with it..
So, lets stop fighting like losers and find a way to get out of this situation! It'll help many people in the future

If it's not booting up , and you're stuck in that QDLOAD thing, it's usually the mainboard that's fried and HTC replaced the mainboard in my Sensation under the warranty when it happened to me. I was S-OFF at the time as well, and it came back 100% stock and working

I think most of the time, that's not something fixable unless by a service center. You may wanna check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331454
For one guy the phone "magically" just started again, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Sorry mate.
Ok, thanks for the info.. Maybe I'll make a strong case. My phone was originally replaced with a new one within a week because of battery problems, and scratch marks that I didn't make.. Then the second one had its mobo replaced for that same battery problem, and now I was going to send this in for replacement because my lower speaker is louder than the upper, and my camera has the dreaded pink tint and my phone has a big gap on its side where the service center guys hadn't closed the phone properly..and now this.. Oh boy, am I gonna make a strong case!!

Not yet, no
I bet we'll be seeing a lot more of these threads now...
Okay, although I've read a lot and I've learnt quite some bit, I want to know that if it wasn't the phone that unexpectedly died, was it my mistake somewhere? So I'll start with what I did, step by step, please have a look and tell me if I did anything wrong
1. Originally on ViperOne, tampered and unlocked on hboot 1.54
2. Restored stock nandroid 4.2.2 (2.24.707.3)(India) unrooted
3. Downloaded rumrunner (the version that I previously mentioned)
4. Started the exe
5. Phone reboots 2-3 times, process completes at pouring(3)
6. Reboot to verify s-off
7. Restore ViperOne nandroid
8. Run Revone to reset tampered flag
9. Flash modified hboot to remove warning.. Succeeds, reboot to verify warning gone
10. Reboot like 5-6 times to admire at the bootloader
11. I got a call and my phone hung
12. Reset the phone by holding power+vol down
Aaand the phone never booted again..

Red Triangle Stock Sense 6 update

Just received the stock update to Sense 6. I am in Canada, on Telus, fully stock.
When the phone boots into the recovery to flash the update, I am getting a red triangle and the error is unexpected contents in settings.apk
Any suggestions on how to get this update working other than hard resetting before the update?
Thanks.
Can you reboot normally? Just select the Reboot system option? Also, if it insists on going to update, hold power button to forcefully restart and keep pressing the volume down button to get into bootloader mode.
Try restart from there.
As you are FULLY stock (no root, should say LOCKED on that bootloader screen) you can either consider going through the warranty OR trying it yourself to fix by unlocking bootloader OR take it to someone locally.
Unfortunately all options will lead to data loss.

Yes it reboots and yes I have a locked bootloader. I would hard reset before sending it out for servicing.

well error 170 is either because your drivers aren't installed correctly or because you have a bad usb cable/port

Do not install sense 6 upgrade
I would recommend NOT installing the stock Sense 6 upgrade. I installed it a couple days ago and currently my phone is bricked because of it.
I posted about my issue in another thread. In case people want to read what's been going on i'll repost it here.
Kg810 said:
So I performed the Sense 6 upgrade a couple days ago, update went through fine, yesterday morning my phone started acting all weird (sluggish, random reboots, bunch of apps reporting errors, etc) and battery was draining fast.
I probably rebooted my phone 10 times, 5 times normally by just the power button and the remaining times through the light trick, power button and volume button. Once my phone finally got back to normal, I was typing on whatsapp and then suddenly it froze.
It froze for a couple minutes and then it turned off. I believe the battery was at 39%. I plugged the phone into my work computer and it would make the USB connection sound, then after a few seconds it would display drivers failed to install followed by 3 subtle sounds similar to the connection sound. So right away I checked Device Manager and it displayed QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Currently my phone has been charging all night, currently it is being charged at work and there has been no sign of life.
I've tried putting it in the freezer, the light trick, the laptop connecting/disconnecting trick, and the go ole punching the phone trick. None of them have worked.
The phone is definitely not charging at this point as it is stone cold when I hold it or touch the wall charger.
Any ideas what I can do? I don't want to contact Rogers and have to send it in. I've got so many songs, videos and pictures I have yet to backup.
Any help and/or suggestions welcome.

Well your issue have nothing to do with the sense 6 update. You even said that you have updated the phone a couple of days before your phone died. QHSUSB_DLOAD mode mean your phone motherboard is dead, either because of an hardware failure or because you have flashed something really wrong (probably not your case). So how an hardware failure could be caused by a sofware update and only occur days later....? unfortunately, you must send your phone for repair.

Maybe I wasn't clear.
Tuesday night before I went to bed I performed the upgrade.
Wednesday morning, is when the issues started occuring.
Today is May 29th, Tuesday was May 27th, which is 2 days ago, hence why I said I performed the upgrade a couple days ago.
From the time I performed the install Tuesday night to Wednesday morning when I got into work, there was nothing done to the phone. The only thing that was done was the Sense 6 upgrade.
So you're trying to tell me that the upgrade has nothing to do with it?

If your phone was 100% stock, I highly doubt the ota could hard brick it.
like I said QHSUSB_DLOAD = defect motherboard
in most cases because:
1- hardware failure
or
2- Flashing something that screwed your phone (i.e flashing something not meant for your phone with S-OFF)
I'm not saying its impossible, but I think it's more a coincidence

I've had the phone for a little over a year and it has been 100% stock. Never tinkered with it in any way shape or form.
I just can't see how it is a mere coincidence that right after the update, my phone starts acting up, and then becomes bricked.

HTC one hard bricked,nothing is working help plz

my htc one unlocked is hard bricked while i was surfing in phone, suddenly it power offed without warning and never boot again yet, i tried all combinations like power and vol-+, bright light censor, nothing worked.
windows 8 device manager recognize device as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008(com3)"
my phone is in warranty and is unlocked bootloader and rooted with venom rom
will htc know that its rooted or bootloader unlocked, if i give for service????? coz its not booting.
will htc change motherboard in warranty for free????
Mmm it depends. You could be lucky. They may just swap over the entire phone. But if they manage to fix that phone and see it's unlocked warranty is void. You will never know until you try!

Nah, warranty void point blank period. You get nothing at all? Even if you try to power on plugged in to a USB 2.0, have had this work in past don't know why. If you can't get it to do anything at all you are looking at buying a new phone, or insurance claim it.

the above is an excellent work to revive the hard brick M7. But in case your M7 shows detected as modem ( its unrecoverable), i had to sell mt bricked phone as it was detected as an QC modem driver. Else the revive.sh should work ok .
Also one more thing. I guess HTC service center don't do a jtag to revive bricked devices in the india service centres. At most they try revive with their flash tools, most likely ( again most likely) they should treat it as a bad motherboard case. And you might get the motherboard replaced without the whole bootloader unlock thing. . Give it a try. If they ain't able to boot it they wont find you had tampered with your device.
I don't know why htc devices just die on the QC S 600 boards just like that. S4 with same hardware doesn't. Their version of S-boot (samsung's boot loader) seems more robust, at least doesn't leave you with unbootable state. . Mine died on a stock build with no tempering whatsoever just the way you told.
Now again it went to the boot loop just like that !!!

[Q] Bricked L90

dear, sorry the English, but I need a help from you.
I made the installation of IMG extracted the KDZ and did flash the recovery, however, now my machine not the sign of life, the computer does not detect the device, the device does not turn on, not of any sign of life. already tried in various corners anything to help me have some solution. I did the procedure based on the stock rom flash D405 with img extracted files. After that the only active device the display if I put to load without the battery, which displays the battery with a question mark. The device does not enter download mode, does not go into recovery, does not display anything, as if completely dead. Does anyone have aware and know any solution to the problem? Note: I've tried the LG flahs tools, it does not detect the device.
You have probably the worst case of them all. I suggest you to take your phone to warranty and see if they can replace it (because there probably isn't any way to fix it). If your warranty is void, then, I'm afraid, you will have to get a new device. I have had this issue myself, and it was solved only by replacing whole internals of the phone. Good thing that I still had my warranty, so it didn't cost anything. Good luck.

but this happened to you because of flash ROMS? How long on average it took for you to get the unit back?

Yes. I tried to flash a ROM (which requires an unlocked bootloader), but for some reason the bootloader wasn't actually unlocked, and flashing a ROM caused the device to be bricked. This is probably what you would call a hard-brick.
In my case, replacement took a little more than a week. But this could differ from country to country.

But in time to take the assistance, you said what about it? The unit stopped working alone?

Exactly. Since the device cannot be turned on, I don't think they have any way of checking if it was rooted or tampered with in any way. So your best bet is to just play dumb and tell them your phone doesn't boot up. That helped me to get it fixed for free.

Legal, tomorrow I will even take the guarantee to solve as fast as possible. Really the device not the sign of life at all. I will inform you that the device was carrying at night and just when I catch him in the morning, he was like that.
Thank you for your help. : D

hard reset does not remove all traces of root. There is RCT checking. u can be sure that have no traces of root when RCT was reset. On kit kat we have chance to reset it without reflashing. But on 5.0 only reflash

dear, sorry the English, but I need a help from you.
I made the installation of IMG extracted the KDZ and did flash the recovery, however, now my machine not the sign of life, the computer does not detect the device, the device does not turn on, not of any sign of life. already tried in various corners anything to help me have some solution. I did the procedure based on the stock rom flash D405 with img extracted files. After that the only active device the display if I put to load without the battery, which displays the battery with a question mark. The device does not enter download mode, does not go into recovery, does not display anything, as if completely dead. Does anyone have aware and know any solution to the problem? Note: I've tried the LG flahs tools, it does not detect the device.

Did u flash it from 5.0 or 4.4? This problem may have solve without service center. But if u have warranty, it must not worry u.

Hello, I just want to know that while booting, did your phone show the message "Secure booting error"?
I am getting this message at the LG logo and then device just shuts off.
No, I don't think I ever got this message.
Sent from my LG-D405N using XDA Free mobile app.

In my case, the device did not care and neither carried, gave no sign of life. I sent him for assistance in less than one week they made the repair by warranty.

Bricked M7 RUU

Hello everyone,
One week after using my new M7, it is not switching on anymore but luckily my PC recognizes it as QHSUSB_DLOAD. I am trying to find it's RUU but I can't get the CID of the phone to download the suitable RUU.
I Googled the forum but I didn't manage to find anyway I can extract the CID of the phone. How can I get the CID when the phone is bricked and not switching on? Anyone can help me?
Thanks

Lucky? Not really. ..
QHSUSB_DLOAD can happen for 2 reasons
1. You have flashed something wrong (an incompatible firmware for example) and the phone went in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. In this case you might be able to unbrick using the unbricking project.
2. If the phone went in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode itself (not directly after a bad flash) then its an hardware problem and will probably need a motherboard replacement.

What exactly happened:
Bought the phone one week ago, unboxed the phone and received an update. After downloading the update the phone refused to install it and it gave some error message that the current software of the phone is modified and the phone cannot continue installing the downloaded new update.
Two days later, I was transferring some files from another phone to it using Wi-Fi direct via an app, the M7 freezes with no response to anything whatsoever, tried to restart the phone using the power button but it didn't switch on.
I can see that there is hope as long as the PC recognize it. Can you sort up my situation again? Thanks.

This happen when the phone CID or MID doesn't match the software version.

If it froze and then rebooted in qhsusub its an hardware problem.

Not really. If the phone is in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode the only known method to revive it is using the Unbrick project which only work when the phone went in this mode after a bad firmware flash. Its not possible to use a RUU neither, the phone must be booted in bootloader/ RUU mode for that. Still worth trying the unbrick project but I don't think there is any hope.
