[Q] Soft-Bricked HTC One - Want to go 100% stock again.

Solved thanks to @alray
Ok so the other day I tried going to Android 4.4 Google edition with a rom but s-off never worked. Without noticing s-on I tried installing the rom which soft bricked the phone (Starts up goes past HTC logo and flashes google logo then the screen goes blue).
I made the obvious mistake of not making a back up so I'm stuck. I have access to Bootloader & Recovery. I've tried installing RUU files but the ones I've tried so far get stuck at 7% 'Checking Header'. I'm just looking to get back to a working phone... Any help is appreciated.
If I'm missing any info you need let me know, I'm new to this...
Thanks.
More info:
I'm in Ireland, Europe.
The phone works with different sim cards (So I assume it must be unlocked).
RRU's I've tried:
RUU_M7_U_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.2_R_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_311663_signed_2_4
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4

If you can give me more to try/ that are meant for my phone I would appreciate it.
I've given the bootloader menu as an attachment.
The fastboot getvar all is as follows (this is after I installed the new rom, I don't know what the original ones are):

the ruu failed because you need s-off to use them with hboot 1.55 (require hboot downgrade to 1.44 which require s-off)
so now your best option is tu install a guru reset. Use this file
boot your phone into your custom recovery and push the file I linked above to your sd card. then install the .zip file with your custom recovery and follow instruction from the graphical user interface (aroma installer)

Thanks @alray for the reply! I'm trying that now, I'll let you know how I get on!

@alray
This may sound silly but, do you know if I need to buy the 'On the go usb cable' like in his video? I dont think I do since he was running a 1.29.xxx (doesnt support touch screen) but I'll be running a 3.62.401.1 (he doesnt specify if I need one or not...) Just want to make sure before doing anything.
Thanks.

Move the .zip file to your fastboot/adb folder. boot your phone in recovery. then:
Code:
adb push name_of_file.zip /sdcard/
then in recovery select ''install'' and slect the zip you pushed
no need to use otg cable

@alray I'm getting 'Device not found' When I try to do anything with ADB... Any Idea of the problem?

I have had my HTC ONE for about 5 months now and as soon as i got the phone i rooted it and installed Teamwin's recovery program. Today i got a notification that there is a system update (4.4.2).

Edit your previous post and remove serial no and IMEI
yes that's the recovery you need and no it won't erase your phone

Thanks for the pointer.
So these are the steps i need to do:
1. Download 'recovery 2.24.401.8.img'
2. Rename 'recovery 2.24.401.8.img' to 'recovery.img'
3. Place 'recovery.img' in my adb/fastboot folder (C:\Adb)
4. Open Command Prompt and navigate to your adb folder
5. Type 'adb reboot bootloader' to get into fastboot on the HTC ONE
6. And then flash the recovery img by typing 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
Is the above all correct?

Yep that's it

OK thanks, it doesnt matter than i have S-ON then?
After i type, 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
its says, 'waiting for device' and just sits there, any ideas why this happens?

probably drivers.
check device manager and make sure you have a proper driver loaded
fastboot devices should show your device.
If your on windows 8/8.1 it has trouble with fastboot on older hboot versions. ADB works fine but fastboot doesn't work. I think newer hboot's resolve this so it will work after the update.
Might need to just use a win7 pc or VM to flash stock recovery.

Ah yeah i am on Windows 8.1. I'll have to use my laptop then. What drivers do i need to be downloading?
Also can 4.4.2 be rooted yet?

I use the universal naked driver pack and usually just choose google nexus bootloader interface for the driver.
Sure, you root it the same as anything else: unlock bootloader, flash cwm/twrp recovery, flash SuperSU.zip

Ok have managed to flash the stock recovery back to the phone, and have update to 4.4.2. But when i turned the phone back on i had to go through all the setup process and now all my contact and text messages and apps have gone!!. I though i wasnt going to lose all my data?

Your bootloader was already unlocked? or was it locked and you just unlocked it? When you perform a bootloader unlock it does wipe the data as a "safety measure".

It should of already been unlocked, as it was rooted and had TWRP install previously

So theres no way for me to get this stuff back then, pictures, messages, contacts etc?

Um, there's some missing information here.
Short answer, if you in fact "unlocked" the phone recently, you wiped all personal data and there is absolutely no way to go back.
There are other ways data can get erased however.
As you pointed out, the phone was likely unlocked previously. Not sure how it would have become relocked forcing you to unlock again, which you don't seem to remember doing anyway.
Also you didn't originally say you lost your pictures. Did you or didn't you? Losing texts and contacts is normal when flashing a ROM. There are backup apps for texts and most people keep their contacts in the cloud do you normally just resync and you're done.
But pictures is something else. Sounds like someone did a factory reset and/or formatted the entire /data partition in recovery.
Normally most recoveries know that when you "format" data, you are really just selectively erasing everything in /data *except* /data/media. You don't usually do an actual format. The stock recovery does not make this distinction, and even custom recoveries often have an advanced features that lets you truly format all of /data. So you might have nuked your pictures in recovery somehow, no unlocking necessary.
You need to go into more detail.
But if you are saying your pictures are gone, they're probably totally gone.
One last possibility, the version-main you posted suggests you may have been using android 4.2 originally.
But I suppose it's possible the original ROM you were using was actually 4.1. Maybe your stuff was at the top level of /data/media and never got moved to /data/media/0
This surprised quite a few people during the transition from Android 4.1 to 4.2
So *if* you didn't unlock *and* didn't totally format everything *and* your old ROM was 4.1, well.. get a file browser and have a look around. Maybe you got lucky.

Well before i flashed the recovery image bootloader had 'Tampered' and 'unlocked' listed at the top of the sceeen, just like it does now so im not really sure what happened. But as soon as i flashed the 'recovery 2.24.401.8.img' back onto my phone and then downloaded the 4.4.2 system update and installed it, when the phone restarted again it was like it was back to factory default in that i had to go through the whole setup screens!, so not sure whats happened.
But on closer inspection even though i have downloaded and installed system update 4.4.2, if i go in settings>about>Software information> it says im on Android version 4.3 and software number 3.62.401.1, isnt this wrong as ive updated to 4.4.2???

You have two separate issues here. You lost your data and you're not running 4.4.2
Apparently you're not worried about your data.
To get 4.4.2 you either need to a) get to a place that is so "stock" that OTA's will take you the rest of the way or b) manually flash a 4.4.2 ROM. The b) option usually requires S-OFF and a suitably recent recovery compatible with KitKat.
If you are already S-OFF of course b) is way simpler. But you're not. In fact you have HBOOT 1.56 which can make S-OFF less certain. If you can get S-OFF that's the way I would go. I personally never screw around chasing OTA's.
You may be in an awkward place right now.
Time for someone with more patience than me to get involved I guess.

No please don't get me wrong I am certainly worried about my lost data, especially the pictures, but from what you said I there's no real way to recover them, is that correct or is there a way at all?

Probably gone, but I would still use adb shell or a file explorer app to look in
/data/media
Your most recent personal data (the stuff you made in the last day or two, not the lost files you are looking for) will be in
/data/media/0
You're checking to see if there is useful stuff *outside* the " 0 " folder.
Don't delete anything unfamiliar (for instance if you see clockworkmod, leave that alone -it's nandroid backups). Just look for orphaned folders full of personal stuff like "DCIM" or " Music" or whatever.

Sadly there is nothing in /data/media there are 3 folder, 0, legacy. obb and a file .htc_layout_version none hold any of my old photos . I have even tried the program, Wondershare Dr.Fone and that doesnt find any of my old photos either...so i guess there lost for ever, bugger.
I guess i need to get this phone back to stock and then try the update and see if it takes this time?, so ill need to remove the root, TWRP recovery and SuperSU?

adb works in recovery and when booted in android OS
fastboot works in bootloader only.

I'm pretty sure the op thread states to use twrp recovery, please download and flash version 2.6.3.3 through fastboot then when you get into recovery do a standard wipe not an advanced wipe and try flash the Rom again

Ok, let me try that recovery and I'll follow your recomendations
EDIT: After installing TWRP recovery it wont start, I just see a logo and then it goes to the htc logo and nothing happens, tried the newest version and I've already tried all the older versions, what else should I try?

Are you on an international device or a spirit or verzion device ?
Can you also post a fastboot getvar all too please, be sure to remove the serial number and imei before posting though

first you need to get the correct recovery back on your phone then find a stock rom in the Verizon forums

If you goto the twrp site, just Google twrp recovery, you can probably download one for particular model, also I'm pretty sure roms like arhd and viper one have links in the main op thread the verzion editions of their roms, that's if of course you want a custom Rom.

Thanks
thanks for your help, I was able to get the phone working properly again, so it turned out I did have adb working but only when in the CWMR, so I pushed the rom.zip to my phone using adb and then I flashed it using CWMR, I still don't know why TWRP wouldn't work. But thanks a lot for your help. I guess the thread can be closed now.

Could you post a fastboot getvar all without the imei and serial number? You could also put a custom sense rom on your phone if an RUU can not be found.

put your phone into fastboot mode, plug it into the computer, it should now say fastboot USB on the screen, open a command window inside your fastboot and adb folder (hold control + shift + right mouse click, open command window here) and then type fastboot getvar all
post the output here, but remove imei and serial number before posting.

Its a reset file, download it, copy it to your internal storage on your phone, DO NOT EXTRACT IT, then enter recovery, (recommened is TWRP 2.6.3.3) and install it, it will set you back to stock.
During the aroma installer when it prompts you, select wipe data, install stock radio and install stock recovery, once complete, reboot your phone and check for updates.

your only other choice is something like these stock roms which also need to be flashed inside twrp 2.6.3.3

Before doing the Guru Reset, since your hboot is 1.57, I would recommend you contact @deeevan and see if he has either a nandroid of the latest release or the previous release. He did provide the current firmware and OTA in this post. Or post in the HTC One Australian Users thread in the General Section.
The hboot is important for the OTA. Since you are S-ON you can not downgrade your hboot. Your hboot has to be the same or lower than an OTA's hboot. If you were to downgrade to the Guru Reset one, your hboot would be too high for all the OTAs except the most recent one. Hence, you would not be able to get your phone back to Sense 6.

Go to the HTC One Australian User thread in the General Section, then ask for a someone to post a nandroid backup of rom version 5.11.980.9. If someone has one and post it for you, then you can flash it in recovery. That would get you back to stock but with a custom recovery.

If I can't go back to stock, is there anyway of restoring my messages and contacts? And how could I put music onto my phone since now it doesn't connect up to htc sync manager

If you haven't done anything and they are still on your phone, you can go to the Google Play Store and search for message backup apps. I use SMS Backup & Restore. For contacts, they can be saved to your phone, sim card or if you use gmail Google will save them. I use the Google backup and restore feature in Settings. You could also use HTC Backup & Restore but you can't use both Google & HTC.
If you don't have them presently, then I don't know restore them. Sorry!

before putting Cyanogen on my phone i did do a backup through HTC sync manager and Helium

I don't have a 5.11 backup uploaded, but there is one for 4.20.980.1. As said before... Search through the Australian thread to find it

if i cant go back to stock then how can i get my messages and contacts back? would really be good to have those back at least and i did do backups with HTC sync manager and Helium before putting CyanoegenMod onto my phone.
on another note, i notice that the HTC TV app doesnt work like it should, any ideas why that is happening?

Run Helium and restore messages and contacts? Am I missing something?
If you wiped your internal storage (sdcard) when installing CyanogenMod, the Helium backups on your phone would be lost. You'll need to get them from whatever cloud storage option you selected or copy the folder back from your PC if you had the foresight to backup.
HTC Sync Manager only works on a Sense based ROM like ARHD (or stock, but you did ask for other options).

[Q] Applying Backup from one phone to another

Hi Guys,
This might be a little confusing but i will do my best.....About 6 months ago i bought a htc 1 m7, love it and it worked well. Then i decided to root it which was fine but then the OTA update came out so i can make phonecalls again, but i cant install it. Spur of the moment i bought another htc one m7 of ebay because i desperately needed to make and take calls. Turned up a couple of days ago and there seems to be some interesting stuff going on. Firstly i think it is a "test device" I cant remember where but somewhere it does say that its a test device in red writing.Also compared to my old phone the screen is more "brown" as if a filter is being applied. I'm guessing a non-oem screen was fitted that isn't as good quality as the original. I checked and the bootloader is locked and is working but it is still on android 4.4.2 and sense 5.0 and it says its up to date and wont move to sense 6.0.
So currently i'm looking for a way to either "un-test device" the new htc 1 m7 as im guessing that's why its not getting the new updates, or secondly is there anyway to get the ota updates on the rooted htc 1? I'm fairly good tech guy but...being my first android phone i guess you guys would call me a noob.
One other thought i had. If i could get the new phone to update to the latest update and then i rooted it, installed cmw and did a backup could i then load that backup as a recovery on my old phone? I'm not sure if that would work or not.....
Anyway hope you guys can help me out, i dont really care which phone i end up using one has a cracked screen and the other dose not look the best i just want to have the latest updates AND be able to make phonecalls...
Thanks All,
Joel

Ok there's a few reasons why you may not be receiving OTA updates on the first device.
The second device (test device) Sounds like it's s-off that's not something you want to fix there are many benefits to having the device s-off. As for transferring backups between devices that should be fine as long as their both of the same model id. To be sure of all this can you please post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
For both devices :good:

You guys were right it is s-off but the bootloader is locked which is interesting. And they have the same model id so i can copy backup's between devices which is also cool.
So Danny you said there could be a number of reasons why my old htc is not getting the ota update, care to elaborate? i have the actual update file which is a zip saved on my pc, i just figured because it was rooted and has a different recovery than stock the ota would continue to fail, if there is a way to get it to work that would be awesome, as it would mean i wouldn't loose all my apps compared to restoring a backup from the second phone.
Cheers Guys,

first of all, remove imei and serial numbers from your outputs in your 2 posts, these are 2 numbers you want to keep to yourself, the s-off phone is the better one and easier to work with, leave it s-off, don't ever go s-on, you will regret it, you can follow this very simple step by step guide to get this phone receiving updates again, all the way upto lollipop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/guide-convert-m7-developer-edition-t2840311 you will need to unlock the bootloader first though to do this.

Well I was first thinking maybe it was AT&T and AT&T phones only get OTA's when connected to the AT&T network but that's not the case here.
Are both devices running a the same stock rom. As they are identical you could just make a nandroid of the System and Boot partitions from the s-off device then restore these to the other device without loosing any user data. Could you maybe post a screen shot of the Settings>About>Software information screen from each of the devices?

It's not that it cant "get" the ota updates its more that it wont install.
Also I'm in Aus, as for the first phone it was bought outright through a retailer and i have no idea for the second phone(eBay guy didn't leave any history about the phone.)
I have just put cmw on the new phone so now i can do the guide posted by Seanie280672.
Will post the screenshots in a sec.
Will need your help with making a backup of just the boot and system partitions......don't know how to do that.
Joel

Okay This is the "old phone" screenshot:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5yAH_RjUp-KQmU2bkJfUVlINXc/view?usp=sharing

Okay here is the screenshot for the new phone
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5yAH_RjUp-KcmRIUjZIOVN2TU0/view?usp=sharing
Also sorry Google drive was the quickest way to get pictures online from my laptop at the moment.
Only difference is the software number the old phone is x.x.x.7 not x.x.x.12 which im guessing is the update to fix audio.
Not sure if it is relevant but i have the file "OTA_M7_UL_K443_SENSE60_MR_Optus_AU_6.11.980.12-6.11.980.7_release_407474r14kwjhfpdkw8z4t" Thats the update file that the old phone downloaded to fix audio which would make it identical to the new phone, but alas it dose not install.
So i guess the "nandroid of the System and Boot partitions from the s-off device then restore these to the other device without loosing any user data" is still the best solution?
Thanks again i know i say that alot but could not have done this without your help!
Joel

Wait....i was of the belief that cmw was the reason i couldnt install ota's. Is that correct? If so what if i just put the original stock recovery back on the old phone(link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158151) then let the update install and then put cmw back on..... i dont know if it will work but its another method, maybe i have this all back the front lol

Ok this may get a little complicated but I'll try to make it as clear as possible
You can use the system and Boot nandroid from the s-off device to update the Rom on the s-on device. Then make a full nandroid backup of the s-on device of System, boot and data. (so now you have a nandroid of the updated Rom with all your apps and settings) now backup the internal storage of the s-on device to your pc.
Now you can extract the firmware.zip from the OTA file and manually flash the firmware to the s-on device to update the firmware. This will require you to relock the bootloader and when you unlock the bootloader the device will be wiped (that's the reason we backup the internal storage to the pc) so you can Unlock the bootloader again restore the internal storage with your pc backup then Flash twrp and restore the nandroid and heypresto the s-on device is fully updated with Rom and Firmware. If you need further instruction on how the flash the firmware from the OTA just let me know

Yes that's correct if you flash the stock recovery you should be able to install the ota. Although if the stock Rom is modified in some way the OTA may fail to install.

Okay your method sounds like a fun experience, as long as your sure my data is safe . Will do a manual backup first anyway. As for the nandroid stuff tho...im allitle confused. with cmw there are not any options to what is included and excluded? or am i missing somehting......Sorry for the noob question.
And yes please i have no clue how to flash firmware, guess you just use fastboot? help would be great

Yeah my instruction kinda assumes you are using TWRP recovery [emoji14] no one uses CWM on HTC one anymore. TWRP if a far better recovery for best results use TWRP 2.6.3.3 other newer versions all have some bugs of some sort. 2.6.3.3 is bug free and stable :good:

Edit: this is possible with cmw or do i need to swap to twrp? Also as for the firmware is that just the zip called "firmware.zip" inside the ota zip? what do you do with the images inside? Shame on htc for putting a zip in a zip its just plain bad practice lol

Ok this is what I was afraid of when I said it might get complicated.
So first unfortunately I'm really not sure what CWM is and is not capable of these days I have not used it for about 4 years lol, since my galaxy ace days. Either way I would definitely recommend switching to twrp for your HTC one. Although you will need to make new nandroids if you do as TWRP is not compatible with CWM backups as far as I'm aware. TWRP allows you to backup and restore partitions separately.
You are correct about the firmware.zip inside the OTA file just extract the firmware.zip from the OTA and then you can flash the firmware.zip with fastboot. You must be sure you update the Rom before the firmware though or the phone won't boot after flashing the firmware. This is not an unrecoverable situation but will further complicate matters.
To manually update the firmware put the firmware.zip in your fastboot folder.
Boot the phone to 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 firmware.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. The phone screen will go black then return to RUU mode. So now we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.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
Just for the record if the device was s-off like the other one there is never any need to relock the bootloader as s-off allows flashing while unlocked.

Okay super quick question. I'm trying to flash twrp onto one of the phones but how do i use adb/fastboot with multiple devices plugged in? cant figure it out.....the other device is being backed up.

Fastboot should only see the device that's in the bootloader.
E.g if one device is booted to Android or Recovery (this will be the device your backing up) only adb should see this device.
So you can flash twrp to the other device while in the bootloader with fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

So just so I'm sure we are on the same page I'm going to:
1. System/Boot Nandroid from s-off device
2. System/Boot/Data Nandroid from s-on device
3. Backup files from s-on device to pc
4. Follow your steps flash firmware updates.
5. Copy Files back to phone
6. flash twrp back onto device
7. Restore The nandroid from step 2
8. Heypresto my s-onn phone now has the latest firmware and all my data just as before?
Hope i've got that right makes sense really

Okay so I've flashed twrp onto both phones, backup of the s-off is complete, backup of the s-off is ongoing.
This...i have to say is uber cool. Having two identical phones is going to be super fun when it comes to custom roms and backups and stuff like that, if one phone dies ill just apply the back to the other...super cool stuff
