[Q] Stuck in Fastboot RUU mode - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So to begin I failed miserably trying to reinstall a stockROM for my HTC. Using an RUU for a Rogers phone the RUU i could find apparently has a corrupted file and has left me stranded with a relocked device without S-OFF in the fastboot RUU menu. The problem is I cant manually flash a zip because fastboot says its too large and its impossible to unlock because a big HTC error screen is up whenever the phone is connected to my PC. I was wondering if anyone had any problems similar to this and could help me out. I have no warranty left and the only people who have had this happen seem to have access to the HBOOT menu which i do not. If anyone can provide some insight it would be appreciated.

Remove your IMEI and Serialno from your above post.
What makes you believe the file is corrupted?
What ruu version are you trying to flash exactly? 4.19.631.9? 7.17.631.7?

I'm trying to flash 4.19.631.9 because that is the only Rogers RUU i could find and the reason I think it is corrupted is because the ROM file from the RUU temp files was corrupted and empty. I re downloaded the RUU twice but the same things happened. The utility also gave me an Error 152 System image error and on the error screen on my phone when it is unplugged it shows the OS in red (assuming it is deleted) and the an area CIR says FAIL-PU.
If you knew where I could get an updated ROGERS001 CID RUU that would be awesome but I havent been able to :L.
Edit:Managed to unlock device but still stuck in Fastboot RUU mode.

Did you checked the MD5 value of the RUU before flashing? Don't forget that rom.zip from the ruu is encrypted and attempting to open this file will output some "file corrupted" error.

Your phone is stuck in RUU mode as you can see from your "fastboot getvar all" because it failed the pre-update (FAIL - PU). CIR is the partition for the Infrared port (Consumer Infra Red). So looks like this part of the flash failed.
Your OS version in red indicate that the ruu flash didn't complete and that the phone is still waiting to be flashed. The phone will keep rebooting to ruu mode until its flashed correctly.
Were you on 4.19.631.9 before attempting to flash the 4.19.631.9 RUU?

There is a lollipop RUU for Rogers but will not help at this time. Your phone must be at least on hboot 1.57 to flash a lollipop RUU.

This RUU was from htcguru the only place i could find it its name is:

Yes I was on the same version apparently., at least according to the RUU. I know it sounds silly to flash the same version but my phone is not stock and even TWRP or CWM cant boot as it is waiting to be flashed correctly (according to you). Overlooked that the rom was encrypted silly me :L.

Is their a way to get out of RUU mode or is it required to flash a new RUU. Tried again still no luck cant access phone with adb so its hard to do anything and fastboot oem is just for dev edition so that doesnt work. Do you know of a ROGERS001 RUU zip file or has noone managed to get it into zip format.

You must check the md5 value on your ocmputer once the file is downloaded. Both value must match (on your computer and that one from htc1guru.com)
Use winmd5.exe to check your md5, use google search, you'll find it easily.

Alright so both md5 match but the same error comes up during RUU, CIR partition continues to fail.

There might be an issue with your emmc chip (memory). That would explain why the CIR partition can't be flashed. Can you post the output of
Code:
fastboot oem dmesg
and
Code:
fastboot oem last_dmesg

I don't think you have made any mistakes here. The only thing I can think to get out of ruu mode on a s-on phone is to flash a ruu or a firmware. RUU doesn't work and can't find any firmware of this version. Maybe flashing the firmware.zip from the same version ota update could work, then from there I would try to s-off and try some other things...

[Q] htc one sprint ruu failing. help please

Help please?? I am trying to RUU my HTC One. I successfully relocked my bootloader.
However, when I start the process, it fails (unknown error). I am told that I need to use the "correct" RUU and try again. My problem is that the one I am using claims to be correct. Sprint_HTD_One_m7wls_1.29651.10_RUU.zip
I have noticed that when I am going through the RUU process I am shown the screen that asks to compare the current version with the new one. The current image version is blank. Nothing there. No current image version at all.

The RUU you are trying to flash is a downgrade, thats why you can't flash it. 1.29.651.10 is for hboot 1.44 and you are on 1.56. You need s-off to downgrade with a ruu.
Refer to the sprint htc one forum to see if this is possible to s-off your phone on hboot 1.56 and then downgrade using the ruu
or
flash a rom for sprint htc one.

first your bootloader is relocked, you'll need to unlock it.
flash twrp recovery for M7WLS (sprint variant)
then download a sprint compatible rom. You can find them here .
push it to your phone and flash it.
If you have questions about how to do any of these steps ask me here, we'll go step by step...

My basic problem is that my radios were not connecting with Sprint at all. So, I understand that I need to do a RUU to fix that. Flashing a custom rom won't fix that (?). Now, I am unlocked with S-on. I have TWRP available. When I reboot, I am taken to the HTC lock screen, but if I unlock it, I get a white HTC screen that lets me do nothing.
I just want to get it back to what I had when I took it out of the box. If you can walk me though this, I would appreciate it. I am NH if we can do this vocally.

With s-on, its not possible to use the available ruu. You could use the latest guru reset rom available for your phone. Select the option to wipe, install stock recovery and stock radio.

download this ruu.zip http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_wls_jb_50_sprint_1-29-651-10_ruu_decrypted-zip/
save it in the same folder where adb and fastboot are
reboot your phone in bootloader mode, select fasboot, plug your usb cable.
open your command prompt from fastboot/adb folder
type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(make sure you use capital letter for RUU)
your phone will reboot in ruu mode, a black screen with a silver HTC logo
then type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip <name_of_ruu_you_have_downloaded>.zip (without < and >)
wait for the ruu to flash. It will probably output something like: failed, flush image again so do the same command again
Code:
fastboot flash zip <name_of_ruu_you_have_downloaded>.zip (without < and >)
then
Code:
fastboot reboot
your phone should boot to your stock rom.

The download has begun working but all my attempts truncate/stop at around 20MB... Nowhere near 1gb. I will keep trying -- because right now I have an HTC One with working Cyanogenmod... but no connectivity at all with Sprint.
Do you happen to have a copy you can throw in dropbox for me?
And... this is the first time I've ever used these forums, so, I am still learning what I am doing. Thanks for your patience
I did download a rom called
Sprint_HTC_One_3.04.651.2_Stock_Rooted_Odexed.zip
If I flash this, will it fix my radios or will it just put me deeper in the hole?
I am on my 10th try for the htc1guru ... but none has made it past 40mb

I finally was able to download the entire file. Then, I carefully followed instructions as you sent...
At last step, I received a "failed 32 header error"
so, I repeated the flashboot flash zip command again. same error
repeated a third time. same error
did fastboot reboot and.... nothing still at cyanogenmod with no connectivity. It didn't take.
It went as planned up until the Failed message.
Please tell me you have another idea or a way to deal with this.

I did finally get the entire file... and did everything you suggested. Unfortunately, I got a Failed remote "32 header error"
I repeated the whole procedure a second time. Still nothing. I checked the MD5 of the file and it apparently was corrupt.
SO... I was back to Cyanogenmod 11 with no Sprint. As a last ditch try before retiring to bed, I came upon a zip file that said it had Sprint radio files. I figured, heck, what have I got to lose? So, I flashed the small zip. and POOF... works! My phone is back AND I didn't have to go back to stock.
I do want to say THANK YOU for all your help. Knowing you were there to help me along encouraged me not to throw my phone under a passing truck. I am sure that once we got that dang file downloaded correctly, it would have worked.
Even though it didn't turn out as we started.... your help was immeasurable for me. Thanks again.

Did you flashed a sprint compatible custom rom? You can't flash custom roms for the M7_UL on your m7_wls, both phones haves different partitions layout. Reflash a sprint custom Ron using a sprint compatible custom recovery or flash the latest sprint ruu from htc website (Google search: htc support rom download).

HTC One (M7) Unroot

Hello people.
I need your help regarding my AT&T HTC One M7.
My phone is rooted, has unlocked bootloader, and stock recovery. I want to unroot it and lock the bootloader
I tried the method with locking the bootloader and flashing stock RUU compatible with my CID and MID, but when I locked the bootloader the device couldn't boot to Android. Instead, it booted to fastboot. Anyways I continouted with the process and I tried to install my RUU, but in the middle of installation it gave me [error 155]. It gave me the same error with any other RUU I tried to install, can you help me?

I don't know which RUU did you try but here is 3.17.502.3 and 4.18.502.7. You might try these, make sure your bootloader is locked/relocked! Generally, the error 155 is the result of using the wrong RUU for your version. The two I provided are based on you hboot, try version 3 first then version 4.

I am pretty much sure I tried both of them, I think it has something to do with the fact it doesn't write down any "version-main" number like the phone doesn't even have it. :/

Your missing version number is the result of being overwritten when you flashed a custom recovery. The newer custom recoveries have made changes to avoid that issue. Since, your phone isn't bootlooping then it is just cosmetic. You might try this 3.17.502.3 rom.zip. You would flash it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
In a command window type:
Code:
[B][I]adb reboot bootloader[/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 3.17.502.3.rom.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip 3.17.502.3.rom.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]

can you find the debug log, or use the ROM.ZIP in fastboot:
the usual procedure is:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ROM.ZIP
fastboot flash zip ROM.ZIP <- yes twice!!
fastboot reboot-bootloader
but during the first flash it will throw an error, let's see what it is
to get the ROM.ZIP, run the RUU, once the first screen shows up there will be a new folder in %TEMP%, within it you will find a 1GB file called ROM.ZIP
if it's due to the missing version-main, you can fix that using the misctool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526316

nope, especially with S-ON and a signed/encrypted RUU.ZIP (the one contained in the RUU.EXE is signed/encrypted), so when you try to flash it using fastboot (which is the same thing the RUU.EXE does, but doesn't show textual progress - though there should be a log somewhere), the fastboot flash will start by various checks, if and only if all the checks pass (meaning the signature, MID, CID, etc are correct for your phone), the ruu will begin installation.
the first flash will do the hboot preupdate and say "failed flush again immediately", the second flash would continue flashing all other partitions

So, does that mean it will fail like the RUU.exe did because I'ts the same way of installing, just its showing install wizard instead of CMD?

yes most probably it will fail, the RUU.EXE is basically just a "container" for the ruu.zip (called ROM.ZIP).... the exe will extract fastboot/adb/rom.zip/etc files into a temp directory and then basically do the commands i listed above.
(I do believe the "wizard" does some initial checks just for the sake of visual feedback, but the actual flashing is done using fastboot commands in the background)

Here is the file i found in C:\ruu_log\

HTC One m7 files ready for flashing

I'm trying to fix my bricked HTC One and I downloaded a file from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428276
I downloaded this ROM: RUU M7 UL JB43 SENSE50 MR TMOUS 3.24.531.3 Radio 4A.21.3263.03 10.38m.1157.04 Release 336982 Signed 2
How can I make this ROM capable of being flashed? Right now it is a zipped folder and I haven't been able to flash it.
What is your method of flashing? RUUs are not flashed the same way custom ROMs are. To flash a RUU you have to boot into fastboot, then use the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU." Then the screen goes black and you see a grey HTC logo; then you can flash the zip with "fastboot flash zip ------.zip." There's a progress bar on the screen that will never show complete. When your terminal screen on your PC tells you it's complete, you may then reboot with "fastboot reboot."
And when you say it's bricked... more details would be helpful. That could mean a whole lot of different things, some not all that bad (i.e. a bootloop), some could be VERY bad (a phone that won't power up and will never power up again)
And I strongly recommend that you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" before attempting anything since its look like its your first time flashing an HTC phone. The information from that command will tell us what file you need to flash exactly and how to proceed. Also describe your issue like asked above. (dont share your IMEI and Serial number btw)

By bricked I mean that when I try to turn the phone on it gets to the screen that says "HTC One" then it will not start. I did the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" and the screen went black and I got a grey HTC logo. Then I entered the command "fastboot flash zip ROM.zip" and I got "error: cannot load 'ROM.zip'". I opened the command prompt in a folder called "fastboot-win" that I downloaded from htcdev.com. Should I open the command prompt in a different location?

The RUU I downloaded has the same mid and cid as my phone so I think it is the correct one. The problem I am having is I am not able to flash the ROM.zip. It says "error: cannot load 'ROM.zip'". I think the problem is I am not opening the command prompt in the correct location. Where should I open the command prompt?

Cannot load "ROM.zip" mean that fastboot can't find the "ROM.zip" file either because your RUU file isn't named "ROM.zip" or because its not in the same folder as fastboot.exe.
The MID and CID must match but there is also some other thing to take in consideration like your current main-version number, your hboot version, S-ON or S-OFF bootloader, Locked, Unlocked or Re-Locked bootloader. So again, better to post your "fastboot getvar all" (don't post your IMEI/serialno)

I figured out why it couldn't load; I had to enter "ROM.zip.zip" but unfortunately I got "FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)". then I unlocked bootloader and it had another different error.

I think the problem is none of these RUU's are compatible with my phone especially since it is in s-on. Any suggestions? And is there any way in which I can get it to s-off?

Since your phone is S-ON, you can only flash RUU that are same or newer version than your actual version-main 6.10.531.10 or newer
You can't flash a RUU using a custom recovery
Your bootloader must be locked or re-locked to flash a RUU
So relock your bootloader and flash this ruu:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...4_10.33E.1718.01L_release_405711_signed_2.exe

Got soft-brick in RUU mode

Earlier i had 6.09.401.5 ROM on my phone. Bootloader showed that main os version is 6.13.708.1
CID was set to 11111111 with S-ON and LOCKED bootloader, HBOOT 1.57
I tried to install 7.17.1540 RUU but got a BRICK with 1.61 HBOOT.
Now main version os shows 6.13.708.1 (7.17.1540.4)
Have only access to fastboot. Screen shows HTC logo with 4 triangles. On USB disconnection shows recovery with only "RUU" text.
Tried to flash through fastboot 401 and 708 firmwares, but getting: SBL1 = Fail-PU or Signature verify failed etc.
By RUU having error 152 or 155 or 12.
Non RUU or ZIP won't flash.
Don't know, what to do, please help!

You must complete the flash of the 7.17.1540 ruu to get out of ruu mode. What is your "fastboot getvar all"? Are you flashing a zip or exe ruu? If you are flashing a zip ruu are you using htc_fastboot.exe instead of fastboot.exe? Is the md5 good on your ruu?

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash a 7.xx.xxx.x ruu and you must check the md5 value of your ruu to confirm it's integrity. Why can't you post the output of "fastboot getvar all"? Need to know your Cid, mid, version-main, hboot version...
You also need s-off to flash a ruu that doesn't have the same base version. Your phone looks pretty messed up, that's why a complete "fastboot getvar all" would help determine the best way to get everything back to normal

Hboot PreUpdate mean that the RUU wasn't flashed completely, it went trough the hboot pre-update (first flash) and is now waiting for the second flash to finish.

Your phone is S-ON, running a x.xx.708.x base, MID PN0710000.
Brightsar US (aka Dev Edititon) is a x.xx.1540.x bas for MID PN0712000
You can't use this ruu unless you achieve S-OFF and change your MID number.

So now your "fastboot getvar all" isn't the same....
version-main is now: 6.13.708.1 (7.18.708.21)
so you must complete the 7.18.708.21 flash to get out of RUU mode....
and I guess the boot-mode isn't "Hboot PreUpdate" anymore...?
Try to flash the RUU again using htc_fastboot.exe and copy/paste your command window in your next post so we can see everything.
but 7.18.708.21 RUU is for model PN0714000. Mine is PN0710000. shows image error

Sorry I miss-read your getvar, this explain everything. You either don't have the right MID or the right version installed on your phone. This phone was clearly S-OFF at some point and someone either changed the MID or the firmware version (since they don't match together) and turned back S-ON. Supercid (11111111) also confirm that your phone was s-off. You already have supercid so CID doesn't matters, flash a RUU that match your MID like 7.19.401.xx. If this is still failing you'll need s-off again to fix it.

possible brickage

i attempted to unlock bootloader on my wife's old HTC M7 (Australian/Vodafone), i was able to unlock the bootloader, but had to do some serious trial and error to get a custom recovery installed, eventually got an older twrp loaded, but the phone just refused to boot into recovery.
i then relocked the bootloader (no S-OFF), and when i try and unlock he bootloader now, the phone attempts to boot into the recovery, and is failing...
i've been trying to find an RUU from somewhere, just to blat the phone back to an old state, and try again.
are there RUUs available anywhere? i dont' care if its not for the local carrier, i just want to get a basic android rom on the thing.
However, im curious if i need to s-off to do this (wasnt the case with my previous HTC)
help!
<<<I NOW KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, I WAS FLASHING RECOVERY FROM THE HTC M8, NOT M7>>>
any ideas?

Really bad idea to relock the bootloader with a custom recovery, well you shouldn't relock at all if there is anything "custom" installed on your phone.The process of unlocking bootloader requires the stock recovery. The only way to flash the recovery partition is when the bootloader is unlocked or by flashing a signed firmware.zip or ruu.zip. The firmware.zip or ruu.zip must match your version-main, CID and MID.

Its not working like that. If your phone is S-ON the ruu must be made for your carrier (must match CID and MID, must be same or newer version-main)

ok, i've been trying with a bunch of RUUs i found on the web, and trying to flash inside RUU (wasnt 100% sure what rebooting to RUU was for actually)
the CID is VODAP021, i will need to check when i get back home to see what the MID is, its not the GPE of the m7, if that helps, you reckon if i find an OTA update, and extract out the ruu.zip, it might blat a stock recovery on? will i need to use htc_fastboot, or just the standard fastboot?
my nexus 5 has finally shat it (small child cracked screen, now screen has crapped itself), just want to get a basic android build onto the m7 in the final few weeks before the new pixel phones are out...

You can extract a firmware.zip (not an ruu) from an ota update and flash it to restore the stock recovery. You must use the right version. Waiting for your fastboot getvar all.

7.21.980.51 is the latest version for vodap021 and can't find a 7.21.980.51 firmware.zip or ota.zip.
At least there is a 7.21.980.51 ruu on ir-file.com, bad news is that you must register to this website to be able to download (20$ for 30 days)

i can load the phone into the OS btw, i've a feeling that OTA might on the device, you think its' accessible using a non-root browser? i could maybe get the ota zip off the device and try flashing that in RUU?

Yes, if you can capture the ota this is the best option (because its free). Look in your /download folder, you're looking for a long file name starting with "OTA_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60" and ending with ".zip". Save it on your computer and extract the "firmware.zip" file from it. Then reboot in RUU mode and flash the firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you should be able to unlock again.
it worked! thank you..
