Hi I think i messed up my phone and I defiantly seem to be needing some serious help
I was trying to s-off my phone with this guide.
I have the same exact phone as the one he is using in the guide. I download the zip file.
Then proceeded to do
a. Lock the device - [fastboot oem lock]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After I oem locked my phone "fastboot usb" changed to "fastboot" and my pc doesnt recognize the phone anymore.
Now when I turn on the phone It says "Tampered" "Security warning" "Relocked".
I can't boot into rom nor connect my phone to pc via fastboot.
I tried with Macintosh, Windows 8 and Ubuntu none of which seem to be working.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

So I bought this HTC One M7, the guy claims its soft bricked and hes not able to fix it because hes technically challenged. So I take it home boot it up, its stuck in a boot loop so I boot it into fastboot the bootloader is locked so I try to connect it to adb, no luck, there is no driver on this internet that I have found that will connect to adb. So I resort to fastboot, I "fastboot devices" and sure enough it connects (wicked), first I try to flash recovery, I try to boot recovery, I tried to update zip, no luck in flashing anything because I either get a signature fail or a "remote: not allowed" then I realize my bootloader is locked, I try to unlock it "fastboot oem unlock" and of course I get a "INFO [ERR] command error". I also tried to change my cid to 11111111 and no luck. I have actually tried everything I can think of I cant get s-off to work my recovery is stock as well so theres no possibility of OTG cable plus a usb. My fastboot will not flash anything in fastboot, I cant push any files to the phone, I cant connect to adb, I cant use my recovery. So what in the actual can I do? I think i'm f**ked.
Thank you in advance for anything you can help me with.

You can't use adb unless you're booted to OS or custom recovery. Also you can't unlock bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock" unless your phone is GPE version. For Sense you need unlock token from htcdev. In order to flash anything, you need custom recovery, and you can flash it only if your bootloader is unlocked

I unlocked my htc with the unlocktoken from htc dev but it still says locked in bootloader. I can flash the unlock_code.bin but it does not restart nor does it come up with a message that says I would like to unlock bootloader etc.

can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno). Sometimes, reflashing the stock firmware can solve some bootloader unlock problem but I need to know you getvar all before I can tell you which one you should flash.
I have a verizon htc one m7 that will boot to the verizon logo then restart. i can access the bootload/fastboot and recovery. when i issue the fastboot command of fastboot oem rebootRUU the command completes and phone goes black then the green htc logo appears and continues to try and boot normally. does anybody have any suggestions on how to get to the RUU mode? bootloader is locked and s-on is active. this is a completly stock phone.
I think you need unlocked bootloader (but I'm not sure). So try unlocking it (keep in mind that you'll loose the guarantee)

1- no need for an unlocked bootloader
2- he's on Verizon so he can't use HTCdev to unlock, and sunshine won't work without a booted phone

how about some background info, how you ended in this situation... if it's a complete stock phone (so you weren't messing around with flashing things), then it could very well be a hardware problem... but the above info isnt enough, you need to provide more details of how this came to be
it's also good practice to copy/paste the entire command prompt output, so we can take a look of what was typed and what the output generated
Customer bought the phone too me in a boot loop state.. he claims he was using it and it just went black then came back on but never fully booted kept restarting at the verizon logo. htc told him to try and factory reset the phone but that was a no go as well. i have tried a RUU utility and when the program says rebooting to bootloader it doesnt go into bootloader just trys to boot up normally. the same thing happens when i attempt to put it in RUU mode it just reboots and trys to boot normally.

sorry, dont get me wrong, but since i've been back (for a few hours), people are ... let's just say, not very forthcoming
what would help:
a screenshot of bootloader
a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding the last 6 digits of IMEI, MEID, and serial number... those need not be shared)
possibly a fastboot oem last_dmesg
though if the phone is completely stock, never been tampered with, then you have a high chance it's a hardware problem

thanks for the details, nothing "looks" wrong from those, but the "fastboot oem last_dmesg" has to be done after attempting to flash something, after a (non flashing reboot) it will just be empty.
couldn't find much, but have you tried this RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one/help/exe-ruu-vzw-m7-4-4-3-s-users-t2919442
EDIT:
1- RUU.EXE will leave a log (before you close the .exe), in c:\ruu_log\.......txt
2- command prompt copy/paste is preferred to a screenshot, since it's much easier to read
good luck
Hi,
Today my htc one got stuck in a boot loop. now it just freezes on the white startup screen. So i figured I try to factory reset. But when I enter Hboot and select factory reset the phone just freezes up.
I then tried recovery and fastboot options but the same thing happens: the phone just freezes up.
I have not rooted my phone. It is stock ROM and the bootloader is still locked. I also dont know if usb debugging is on, I dont thiks it is.
Also my computer does not recognize my phone. I installed HTC sync for the drivers (I have windows 8 if that matters)
I also installed "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" in order to try to unluck the bootloader but since I cant access fastboot and because my computer doesn't recognize the phone I am not able to do this.
Please help me... I really don't want to buy another phone just yet.
What is my next step?
I'm here ask help exactly for the same problem.
But differently mine can be detected by the computer. The problem caused by flashed a RUU not completely. The bootloader is relocked by myself. Others is just the same as your discription.
Is there anyone could help us?

Think your only choice is to reflash ruu again. However best that you post output of "fastboot getvar all" so that others can help. Need to be sure of firmware and os versions to get the right ruu.

You need to get the computer connecting to do anything. Suggest you uninstall htcsync but leave the drivers installed. Try a different usb port and cable.
Need to be able to post outbut of "fastboot getvar all" to get help.

My HTC One M7 is Hongkong CHT edition.
This is the PIC took before flashed RUU.
http :fs1.d-h.st/view/iCnH/00197/1.png
I've tried the "Unbrick project BETA" from the forum and flashed bcb recovery to my device, but neither worked.
Finally I decided to flash an official RUU to my M7.
First I relocked it. Then I flashed the RUU "PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_7.18.708.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.29_10.33R.1718.01L_release_420559_signed.zip" from the RUU collection thread.
But in the process of flashing RUU I suddenly kicked off the power of my desktop PC !!!
Now it has became like this.:crying:
h ttp :fs1.d-h.st/view/vQn3/00197/2.png
It is totally bricked! It will only boot into fastboot and cannot do any further action except "power down". Other will just make the phone hang. Fastboot mode can be detect by computer. The htc_fastboot command "oem rebootRUU" "reboot" "reboot-bootloader" and "getvar all" will also make the phone hang. Now I can't even make the phone get into RUU mode! However I can boot into hboot with volume- and power button.

Hi Guys/Girls,
So today a friend gave me a HTC m7 to try and fix........From what i can gather something went wrong when they tried to encrypt the phone. Now when turn it on it asks for a password, when you get it wrong it wants to reset the phone, but this achieves nothing and you end up back at the encryption page. Neither Recovery Or Factory Reset work it comes up with: E:failed to mount /data. Also says some stuff before that about E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg, which im guessing is why i cant unlock the bootloader? i can get fastboot to work but as soon as i ask for the token it just sits and does nothing. adb does not seem to work.
As a side note i have 2 other htc m7's with broken screens, so if this is something that needs a hardware change that may be possible id assume?. I'm just unsure where to go from here, if i cant unlock the bootloader then what can you do???
I've rooted a few phones but your talking to abit of a beginner here guys.
Anyway TIA!

Sorry if this seems nooby, but can you use a RUU with a locked boot loader and s-on? i cant even get the phone to respond to "fastboot oem get_identifier_token". I've been all over htc1guru but its abit beyond me, does fastboot flash work on a locked bootloader?
This seems to be a pretty bad catch 22, i cant fix the issue, because the issue stops me from doing anything. Any alternate ways around this guys???

When S-ON, a ruu must be flashed with a locked bootloader, thats the only way Only S-OFF phones can flash a ruu with an unlocked bootloader.

Can your phone at least reboot in RUU mode (Black screen with silver HTC logo)?
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Can you post the outputs of
Code:
fastboot oem last_dmesg
and
Code:
fastboot oem dmesg

None of those commands work all i get is "< waiting for devices >". It is connecting to my pc i hear the noise of a device connecting plus "fastboot version" comes up with "htc_fastboot version 2.0.1", seems to be any oem commands wont work???
Also i was just playing around with the encryption page and can get access to the phones settings so i turned on usb debugging, some of the stuff in settings does not seem to work correctly and it crashes occasional but i thought this info might be useful....?

yep, some commands it just seems to hang on, comes up with ***Locked*** in purple, then a heap of info in green then below that FASTBOOT USB in red............
firstly, sorry for bad english.
i get desire 500 single sim (z4u) from a friend that hangs on htc splash screen. it can get to bootloader and on info screen stand
z4u pvt s-on
hboot 1.03.0001
radio 14.16.36q4.22
os 1.34.401.1
phone can`t boot up and can`t go to recovery and can`t perform factory reset (instantly back to bootloader).
i manage to unlock bootloader over htcdev and now it is unlocked and that fastboot command is accepted by phone.
phone is recognised by pc and fastboot on xp, 7 and 10.
then problems begins . phone is recognised by adb and fastboot but wont execute any fastboot command. it start execute but always failed like (too many links, or something else).
only command that is executed is oem var for info.
i cant even relock bootloader ( failed too many links) to try RUU.
i don`t know what can be problem.
Your phone is dead. Yes failed emmc.
First, if you managed to unlock the phone it means some of the fastboot commands could be executed.
Second, i have been having the same problems even tho i found the correct rom and everything to revive my phone nothing ever worked correctly. After reading and apllying countless things i had the conclusion that the emmc is either corrupt or needs to be reprogrammed or something.
Since the phone is an old one no one is going to help more about our problem.
Consider using that phone as a flashlight or you might also consider replacing the mainboard only.
Regards.
