[Q] [Help] Brick help needed [Solved!]

I was trying to flash a ROM earlier today and didn't realize that I was S-on... This threw me into a Boot loop, I thought no problem i'll just wipe and flash a rom that doesn't need s-off. found one and it booted but I got force close errors all over the place. Then I decided I should just bring it back to stock.. which I was somewhat able to using GURU RUU. I have the phone able to boot 100% into the OS but due to a Firmware difference (that he mentions in his video...) My touch screen isn't functioning. My current state is able to boot into stock rom with no error but no touch screen, I can Load bootloader, fastboot, and recover (I have TWRP but CWM works as well). I have fastboot operations but no adb functionality with the one exception that I can run sideload in twrp and cwm. Not sure if it is a pc issue or a phone issue, although I have tried reinstalling drivers both with and with out sync installed. What is my next move? Do i get a OTG USB cable and do an OTA using a mouse? Or do I do something else? wanted to check with you guys before I jump out of the frying pan and into the fire... seems like i have been making one mistake after another on my own accord. thanks for you time and help.

Use otg cable +USB mouse to control the phone
sent from my mobile device

update
I have my otg cable and im able to use the usb mouse with it but I am unable to check for the at&t software update... i click on it and it puls up for a second and then goes away... any ideas?

Idea
I read somewhere that I can flash firmware with s-on as long as i re-lock the bootloader and the mid and cid match on the firmware that i flash to it... this would be done in the ruu flash boot? does that sound right and would this allow me to either get the ota update or flash the correct ruu OR would it possible get my adb functionality back to my bootloader so i can s-off and flash a stock ruu?

You need to flash your touch drivers.

You are in a bit of pickle, as you can't flash anything. Can you run this RUU? http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/

I can try but I am stuck in S-on would this be an issue? and I can flash from cwm and twrp would a stock nandroid help?

What GURU Reset file did you use? If it is same as nandroid for ATT, then it wont help.
You will need to lock the bootloader and run the RUU file I linked. If RUU doesn't like something on your phone (CID/MID/MAIN-ver mismatch) it will fail before flashing. If it starts flashing you should have a working device at the end.

You are the BEST! Thank you so much.. I have been racking my head trying to get this fixed... I am up and running again! My process
1. I had my phone unlocked bootloader, s-on, and twrp recovery
2. booted into trwp, and adb pushed the Guru stock installer
3. installed the zip, selecting to wipe data, no super user, and then I put the stock recovery and radios on
4. rebooted into bootloader and locked my bootloader
5. rebooted phone
6. ran the RUU that you provided me. (Thanks again)
7. phone booted up 100% working!!!!
8. Gave credit where credit was due!

[Q] Rooting after 5.03.651.3 OTA Update Questions

Sprint HTC ONE
Background:
Just spent the last 15 hours flashing back to 4.06.651.4 stock rom in order to take the new OTA update 5.03.651.3. Somehow I managed to brick my phone to where it would only stay stuck on the green HTC with white background. The only thing that I was able to get to work was booting into the bootloader and play with fastboot commands. I had CWM recovery installed but could never get adb to discover the phone to sideload a rom onto the memory card. I had no backup, and pretty much had everything wiped and formatted on the phone. I went througt installing back and fourth twrp, cwm, and different stock recoveries, and hours of trying different things to no avail. What got my phone back up and going was at some point changing my cid to 11111111(not sure if this did anything for me), flashing 4.06.651.4_firmware.zip, then running Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU.zip (ARUWizard.exe) while in fastboot oem rebootRUU mode. Since then I have installed the 4.06.651.9 OTA and then the 5.03.651.3 OTA which is where I stand at this point.
That being said, here's the state of my phone currently:
No Root
CID: 11111111 ( I don't remember what it should say incase I need to warranty the phone)
S-off
bootloader unlocked (did lock it but found out I didn't have to since I was s-off and since then unlocked)
hboot went from 1.56 to 1.57

Now this here are my questions.
Can I gain Root on being on 5.03.651.3?
If I have to reinstall a custom recovery to gain root, would I be able to flash back to the current stock recovery?
Having the new ver. of hboot 1.57, would I be able to downgrade back to 1.56 using the 4.06.651.4_firmware.zip, to flash back to stock 4.06.651.4 if I want to factory reset and unroot, s-on, and lock the bootloader if necessary?
And last of all what should the CID show from factory on the new OTA?
Basically what I want is to have factory everything rooted so I can get rid of the bloatware. Nice and simple that's all.
Much appreciated!!!

Alright, so answering your questions:
1. Yes you can get root being on 5.03.651.3.
2. 99% sure you can't, unless you RUU; but if you RUU you completely lose everything including root.
3. Yeah you can if you're S-OFF.
ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:
http://download.chainfire.eu/450/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip
Try downloading that file and then flashing it in TWRP. I haven't tested this though as the ROM that I'm using is prerooted.
There's a video by fellow member @zedomax that tells you how to do this, although the SuperSU zip in his video is outdated as the video's made in 2013 , so I linked you the latest one above.
EDIT: Oh and the factory CID for the Sprint HTC One is SPCS_001.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my thread and answering all of my questions. I will try rooting when I get home tonight. Thanks again!!!

You could also use these commands if you are S-off
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip
fastboot reboot
this could flash a recovery since you are S-off and flash back your stock recovery... Make sure you include an android-info.txt file...
In the android-info.txt file include this:
modelid: PN0720000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 1.29.651.10
hbootpreupdate:3
with that txt file and a recovery be it stock or a custom you can do what you like.

In reference to your answer on #2, Why can't you flash back to current stock recovery?
I'm curious to know because, i'm stocked ROM rooted, TRWP (lastest version), s-On. and i've been updating my firmware OTA.
I download the OTA firmware then flashboot stock recovery, reboot phone and perform the update. Once it's done, i then flashboot custom recovery (TWRP) and flash SuperSU to gain root again. The firmware version I"m on now is 5.03.651.3.
So basically, i'm concerned that i won't be able to flash stock recovery whenever the next firmware update occurs, using the method i've just described.

[Q] No signal after an update/downgrade rollercoaster

Hey all, I'm at the end of my wits here with my phone and any help would be greatly appreciated.
So last week I decided to give CM12 a shot, and upgraded my phone (M7) as per the official nightlies. As I am S-On (hboot 1.57 and too cheap to spend 25 quid to S-Off), I flashed the boot.img, and successfully booted in CM12. However, I had no network signal. Following instructions in some other thread, I flashed the alpha modem through ClockworkMod recovery, however this didn't fix the problem. After some messing around, I finally got network to work, however the signal would drop to 0 after about 30 minutes, and the only way I could get signal again was to do a Dalvik cache wipe. After that, I tried to fix this problem by reverting to a stock rom, however I have again been left with no signal whatsoever. Since then, I've tried multiple roms, including viper rom, liquidsmooth, even stock rom, ranging from jellybean to lollipop. I've also tried multiple different radio/baseband/modem zips found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699. None of these worked.
When I say I get no signal, I mean that half the time that I do a network search, I can pick up 2 network providers around me, and the other half of the times I scan, I pick up none. Wifi works fine, as does bluetooth.
Info on the phone.

Best bet would be to return to stock Rom then flash the stock firmware. I have both if you need.
Firmware - Download and place in your fastboot folder
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717073199
Stock Nandroid - Download and unzip. Put the folder in your TWRP backups folder.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717073216
The stock Rom is a nandroid backup, so you will need to restore it like a normal backup but it requires TWRP recovery. 2.6.3.3 recommended.
Restore the stock nandroid then reboot to the bootloader You Should now be in the bootloader connected with fastboot usb. In the command window type.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your device will reboot to the bootloader and should now be ***RELOCKED***
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
**--- Case sensative ---^^^
Your device should boot to a black screen with a Silver HTC logo. This is RUU mode. We can now flash the firmware. In the command window type
Code:
fastboot flash zip 6.14.771.2.zip
The first flash will be short, and will appear to fail. Thats normal its just a pre update preparing the hboot for the firmware so we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip 6.14.771.2.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal. As long as the command window has finished its output its done. Reboot to the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Thats it, essentially your device is now back to matching Stock firmware and rom. Reboot and Check mobile service

Thanks for that!
It did seem to change something. I'm seeing 2 different networks now, one of them is my own however I can't register on it. Anything else i can try?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the phone has been sim unlocked. Anything else I could try?

No ROM, No Recovery, Relocked, Tampered, Security Warning

I've been searching around for a solution to fix my device with all of my attempts failing. I have a HTC One M7 from Telus (Newfoundland, Canada) which is about 3 years old. It's in great condition and has been well taken care of. I had been using CM 12.1 and TWRP right up until a few days ago. My intentions were to bring my phone back to factory settings without any root capabilities as the newest update for Pokémon Go requires you to have an un-rooted device. Obviously my efforts to go back to factory settings were in vain as now my phone is basically one step away from being bricked. I can load up the bootloader just fine and acheive fastboot without any problems although anything beyond there fails everytime (ie. enter recovery mode).
I'm able to do stuff with it using ADB tools via my pc so not all hope is lost just yet. Could anyone provide step by step instructions on how to get the phone back to an untampered state as well as links to the files i'll need to do so? I have yet to find any ROM's for a TELUS M7 as well as the default recovery tools. I keep seeing links to utilities which apparently are a basic one-click-fix though none of them have worked thusfar (my most recent one is called "RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_TELUS_WWE_4.19.661.8_R_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_351500_signed_2.exe" which seems to work right up until it gets to the HEADER portion where it doesn't move past 5%)
I've since bought a new phone which is an extreme pain to use as, in my opinion, it's a huge downgrade from what i've been using (LG-K121)
Any and all help is muchly appreciated [:=

When a phone is S-ON you can only flash a RUU that is same or newer version than your actual version. Unfortunately your version-main is blank (this is bug caused by an old twrp version) so we can't exactly know the version it was running. The 1.61 hboot version and CID/MID suggest a 7.17.661.?? version. The newest RUU version available is 7.17.661.7
Try to flash it (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944)
Use instruction provided at post #1 of that thread to flash the RUU ****make sure to use the fastboot version provided in that thread***.
If your phone was running a newer bersion than that (i.e 7.17.661.52) the RUU won't flash and we'll have to try something else.
Btw did you already relocked your bootloader? If no make sure to reflash the stock recovery over twrp before re-locking.

Alrighty, just to reiterate before I get into it, you suggested I choose the 7.17.661.7 version correct?

Yep try this version first and if it's not working we'll try something else. You'll have to relock your bootloader before flashing the ruu, male sure to flash the stock recovery (linked above) before relocking.

My Bootloader has already been Relocked, should I be doing something else to get a working recovery on there before I begin flashing the RUU?

Any suggestions on what should be done next?
Also - thank you so friggen much for your help & I apologize for being so noob in these matters

no problem. Update your phone to the latest version before unlocking and rooting. The latest one is .52

One final question - is there a default recovery on there now that everything is set up and running properly or will I need to dig up a factory recovery, achieve S-OFF & flash it on there?

When flashing a RUU, the stock recovery is installed on the phone. The stock recovery is very limited, it can be used to install ota updates, clear cache and factory reset. If you want to make a backup of your whole phone you'll need to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery (preferably TWRP).

My only issue with going back to custom ROM's (which I waaay prefer over stock as stock ROM's are super limited in so many ways) is I will be prevented from playing Pokémon Go as Niantic have recently disallowed such operating systems from running their app altogether. I don't care for using apps which would be considered 'cheating' or 'exploiting' but with a custom ROM i'd be completely forced to stop playing it no matter how I choose to do so (yes it's silly that i'm basing my decision around that one simple game which isn't even all that great as far as Pokémon games go but it's what I do to pass time during my work breaks 6 nights a week).
Until a fail-safe workaround is made for this tiny issue, i'm stuck with Official 5.0.2 (blek!) and Sense - at the very least I can use a custom Launcher but that's about all I can do.

I played the game for 2-3 days at launch and it was easy to spoof a fake gps location to cheat. To do that I also had to hide the fact the I was using "mock location" from the developer options using an Xposed module or the game would detect it. I guess its also really easy to hide the fact the you are using a custom rom/root from pokémon go using the same method... Not tried but im sure it can be done.

I assume it was easy prior to the current update - they've cracked down on 'spoof players' about a week or so ago

M7 - boots to fastboot and recovery, can't boot custom ROMs, errors in RUUs

Hello everybody!
I am loosing my mind with this, would be grateful if someone could help me!
Received an HTC One M7 Nordic (HTC__Y13) version, HBOOT 1.61.0000, radio 4T.35.3218.16, ODSP 35.120.274.0718 OS.
Firstly, I unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev, then, as I did with other devices, installed CWM which I used to wipe just about everything and I installed LineageOS. (S-ON, Tampered, Unlocked bootloader). To my surprise, LOS didn't boot, booting back to fastboot. I gave it another try, reinstalling it, failed to boot again. Then I started trying the RUUs, and the farthest I could reach was the signature rejection at 4%. I am using a Mac with both Sierra and a windows XP SP3 VM in Parallels, which I also used to try with a myriad of toolkits made for this phone. In HTC Sync, although the phone is recognised, all info, like OS version, are blank.
Well, here I am with a device without OS which boots to fastboot and TWRP/CWM. Since the beginning of this adventure, I couldn't boot once to a ROM, and I lost 3 long nights on this already. I believe the only things I could have missed are: using the right RUU.exe or zip, or someway getting the phone S-OFF without using an OS, since I don't have one.
When trying to "fastboot flash -zip ruu.zip", I always have some kind of error like "remote 02 data length is too large" or a variant of this.
I am getting kinda afraid I may have bricked the phone. Could someone help me?
Thanks!

You must use htc_fastboot.exe from a Windows pc, not the regular fastboot. Make sure you have the latest RUU for your cid/mid

Thanks for your answer. I was about to give up on this, but then I finally found the right RUU. There are so many variants it becomes a nightmare finding the adequate one, eve worse if version is not one of the best selling.
But, as someone may need this advice in the future, I'll leave a summary of the important steps in here:
Return to stock ROM (for S-ON & unlocked bootloader & tampered):
- relock your device;
fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-find the adequate RUU;
(for HTC__Y13, it's the RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.51_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_458803_signed.exe)
-close all programs which may connect to phone (includes HTC sync, any fastboot or adb command window...), otherwise there will be no progress in the RUU;
-start the RUU with phone connected (VMs work - at leaset in Parallels with XP SP3).
Thanks to everyone.
