Hey, so long story short I have an HTC One m7 that i installed a bad rom to and now it's stuck at the boot screen. I can go into recovery, so i tried to install a new rom and even the stock rom through both adb push and sideloader but every time i start the process I get E: can't open update.zip (bad). Can anyone tell me anything?? please thank you
You might be able to recover to stock using an RUU.zip file. Are you S-ON or S-OFF? What software version are you on?

Hi
Due to a bootloop on my Inc S running Cyanogen 7 i wanted to flash a new recovery and a new os. But when I try to flash the image via fastboot, the message "FAILED (remote: Image update error)" appears. It's also impossible to erase partitions via fastboot due to an "erasing error". I tried to flash with adb, but the device isn't listed in adb devices .
I also tried to update HBOOT from version 6.13.1002 to 2.00.0000 using a PG32IMG.zip on the sd card, but it hangs on the "Dont power off" dialog.
I'd be happy if someone could help me out...
Thanks and greez

Since you have Rvolutionary S-Off, you cannot simply overwrite the HBOOT with stock 2.00.0000. You need to follow this procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15732727&postcount=14
Then you would able to use the PG32IMG.zip.
I actually dont wan't to get S-ON, but do you think that it will be possible to flash a new recovery and rom after updating the HBOOT?
If your bricked than its definately worth trying. Sounds to me like your internal memory has some kind of error on it if you can't wipe. And it might not be hung when you try to flash the pg32 as it as it says don't power off and you did anyway you might own an unbrickable phone.

That depends on if you can update the HBOOT. In order to make your current HBOOT 6.13.1001 overwritable, you need to follow the procedure steps 1-2d in the procedure I posted.
If that doesn't work, then there is no sense trying to go on. As the previous posted suggested there is something wrong with your phone's partitions.
If it does work, then I would defintely run a stock RUU to get back to a known working state.
thank you for your answers, i just tried the procedure.
Since the first link is down i wasn't able to install the RUU, so i just tried the second step but i got again the "remote: image update error"
Does this mean my phone is definitely bricked?

Yes it appears that you are unable to flash any of the partitions on your phone, including the HBOOT partition.
Do you have another PC and USB cable to try just to rule out that those aren't causing an issue? If you do, make sure you have the latest HTC drivers installed.
didn't work but thanks for your help anyway

There's no harm in trying a ruu
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
try fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is the recovery image CWM or 4EXT
this wont flash the image..i will just push the recovery on your mobile and then would start it..then try to format all the partions
and can u provide us with all details..like exactly how the error happened..???
and is your phone under warranty..??
i just tried to boot the cwm via fastboot.
the phone vibrated 8 times, three android dudes on a skateboard appeared and the phone rebooted into HBOOT.
I tried also this RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705913, but it results in a 171 USB Error...
The phone isn't under varranty anymore.
How the error occured: I was browsing around, when suddenly whatsapp crashed. So i rebooted the phone and it was stuck in a bootloop. Then i tried to flash a new rom and the error occured
edit: after following to this guide here http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/113/t/10043.aspx, i was able to flash the device using the RUU. But I couldn't use the phone due to crashing processes (mostly android.process.arcore), so I rebooted. Now the phone is stuck again in a bootloop...
try installing the RUU again...and if possible if you are installing a custom rom please wipe all partition ,cache and dalvik cache...
and try booting the mobile withouth the sim card...lets see if it works
i just tried it, with the same result
Hi Guys,
My heads sorta spinning from information overload so I'm hoping one of you guys can help me. I have a Incredible S and I used this guide to downgrade my HBOOT and get my S-OFF using revolutionary and flash clockwork, which I did successfully. I then decided to install this ROM which requires Blackrose. So I installed blackrose beta sucessfully overwriting the revolutionary HBOOT. This is where it all starts to go wrong. I then set about doing a full wipe and tried to install the ROM using Clockwork and the installation completed sucessfully. But when I try to boot up my phone I get stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I also restored a backup I took with Clockwork with the same results; stuck at the boot screen. I tried following the steps in the thread of the ROM (listed below) with no avail.
Here are some steps you can try if the ROM hangs on the HTC splash screen
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH (MD5 SUM: 83dd68b32d39c994b3069d8813b3c3ea)
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Wipe Data/System Reset.
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache.
6. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_8.zip
Do any of you guys have any suggestions or know whats wrong? Even if I can get back to the latest stock ROM while preserving my root I would be happy.
Thanks Guys!!!
BTW i would have posted in the rom thread on I dont have enough posts :crying:
No need blackrose on this rom. Just flash and install rom if you S-On flash boot.img manual via adb flash.
Before, i ve used that rom & back to my prev rom like Stock and Nik Rom.
++no need blackrose++

It says in the ROM thread "This ROM requires that you upgrade Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.to BlackRose 2.02.0002 because of space issues with the ICS /system partition."

What version of HBOOT does your phone now show?
Did the flashing of thr lib.img in FASTBOOT USB mode show any errors?
What is the exact file name of the vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36 rom?
Which version of ClockworkMod are you using?
Things have went from bad to worse. I uninstalled blackrose now I'm back to revolutionary hboot 1.13.0000. But now I cannot boot at all or even get to the white htc screen. I am stuck in bootloader and have lost recovery. Thereby my phone will not charge enough to accept a RRU. I tried to reflash recovery by fastboot but I keep getting a Remote:signature verify fail error Have I bricked my phone? :crying::crying::crying:

The only option you have at this point is to flash an official PG32IMG.zip file extracted from a RUU and copy it to your SD card. Then when you boot into bootloader it will find the file, flash it and that should get you going.
It sound like you need to use the 2.30.405.1 RUU from here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe
DUDE! This is no lie. You are a legend!!! That worked. I had myself prepared for buying a new phone!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH
in short:
i used the ALL IN ONE TOOLS to unlock boot loader from HTC DEV as instrcutions.
then took a few times to install CWM, CWM TOUCH, TWRP finally end up with CWM TOUCH
then i flashed TRICKDROID successfully
Thing went bad when TRICKDROID installation completed and asked to reboot, i didn't do that but continue flash the theme zip as i used to do it with gapps. During the AROMA INSTALL its frozen at 40% for 30 mins. I try to reboot and my PHONE STUCK at the boot screen. At fist i couldn't access to RECOVERY but after a few try to Re-lock and reset Iam able to get into CWM to re-flash TRICKDROID, it kept stuck when i select options randomly for a few times until i end up with error mounting sdcard the error is similar no mater what recovery i use.
Now my phone is almost useless, the only thing i can do to get CWM to see couldn't mount SdCard error. I read and many solutions to re-flash to stock but always came up with signature checking failed ... i follow [HOW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard from HTC ONE S without successful. NAROID BACKUP ZIP AND RUU re-flash also failed so far. i used my back up and TELSTRA backup from HTC M7 RUU Collection, the trouble now is I have no ways to access to SD CARD.
Please help, it took me almost 12 hours continuously already,
my phone details is
based Band 4A.14.3250.13
hboot 1.44.0000
main 1.29.841.2

Choose install zip from sideload in recovery
Put your ROM.zip in your adb folder on your computer and open a terminal from the folder
Command
adb sideload name_of_your_rom.zip
Or try using the toolkit to sideload but I'm unfamiliar with the toolkit method as I use a Mac
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I enabled ADB side from TWRP then your command, it said * can not read 'sideload' *
Using ALL IN ONE TOOLS the CMD windows is all black for about 5 minite, device not found, from bottloader it's clearly seen FASTBOOT USB before enter RECOVERY. I can hear the sound from my LAPTOP whenever turn on/off ADB Sideload, so my LAP should see my phone
i am pretty sure that the ZIP is okie and flash-able before.
i found one thing my HTC ONE is the TELSTRA BRAND in AUSTRALIA with the base mainbase 1.29.841.2 while the Trickdroid is from 401 brand 1.29.401.16 R (WWE). according to my understand my HTC able to use m7_UL ROMS which should be fine, iwonder i might the reason cause my phone bricked like that?
i tried ti find the stock base RUU for my TELSTRA TELST001 but no luck so far. NO ONE have seen that RUU before.
If that's is the case what should i do next? thanks in advance
hi all,
sorry to sound like a complete idiot in advance !
I have been trying for over a month now to find some way to return my phone to stock so I can get the new ota update but im just having no luck !
I have tried everything to unroot , relock boot loader, and return to stock, I can successfully unroot, successfully relock the boot loader but cannot update OTA everytime I download the ota and allow the phone to start update process the phone boots into bootlaoder and a new line appears in the normal messages **** security warning*** when this happens I loose recovery and the phone hasn't updated. I then have to re-unlock the bootloader to then flash a recovery.
I cant flash RUU as there isn't an RUU available for me, H3G_001 , I have tried the suggested CWM nandroid backup, but this fails half way through something to do with android_secure
I cant seem to get the phone to successfully grant s-off to try the change cid method, I have tried to do this using HTC one kit by hasoon but no luck,
if anyone could please help it would me much appreciated
regards
okz19
Probably you don't have the stock rom or the recovery, because the secure warning come out when you aren't fully stock..
Look on this site: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
Mine One works now fine and i have update to the latest OTA.

Is better link to XDA
still stuck!
hi all as you can probably tell form the age of this topic, I have been stuck for a while !!! (11 October ! )
I am still having problems trying to get the new update 2.24.771.3
my phone is carrier locked to three uk
it is unrooted
custom recovery cwm touch
bootloader unlocked / tampered
I understand I need stock recovery and to lock bootloader
I don't have stock rom
my problem is as follows, my phone has been telling me for atleast 4 months now that I have a software update, when I click it it restarts takes me to cwm recovery verifys install then gets stuck on cannot mount data ....
I understand I need to flash stock recovery, I have tried to do this using the "all in one kit" however when I click flash my own recovery, (phone reboots into bootloader) I then proceed to select the stock recovery.img the cmd box then hangs "waiting for device" I am then alerted by my computer that the usb device has malfunctioned. ( I am on windows 8 and have turned of signature verification)
I cannot use the supposed simple method of RUU as there isn't one available for my stupid network!!
I have tried to use a cwm recovery image, this usually starts then spits out android_secure is missing.
yes I do have a hammer ready to hit the phone with, but just before I do this is there ANYONE with any last tips to help me, because ive just about had enough with this stupid phone !
the phone has 24 hours left to live, can you save its life ?
thanks in advance for any help.
1. You cannot install an OTA with a custom recovery.
2. I've encountered a CWM bug having to do with .android_secure. There's a hidden folder in /sdcard that caused it, I don't remember whether this file is ".android_secure" or another. You can probably wipe the sdcard before restoring the backup. If that fails, you can probably manually restore the backup with ADB (this will be hard).
3. If you want to install the custom recovery, boot to the fastboot and use USB to install the recovery. Don't use a toolkit because they're useless when anything goes wrong.
Hi All,
Help required with my HTC One 801n. I have read and search numourse posts but still cant load a ROM or anything back onto it
The phone details
M7 UL
Hboot 1.54
Radio 4A.17.3250.14
CID HTC_001
S ON
The phone was unlocked and rooted shortly after I bought it in July. I was using a Google edition Revolution HD 22 Rom, but I decided to try a CM10.2 ROM and this is where it all started to go wrong. I downloaded the CM Rom and started to flash it on my phone but I got a boot loop with a different screen repeating over the recovery screen so I tried to wipe it and reflash but in doing so I deleted everything. At that time I could get into the recovery screen where it said there wasn’t a ROM installed, so I tried flashing the ROM again but this time I can only get into the boot loader and Fastboot, with no option into recovery.
Things I have tried
unlocked In fastboot tried flashing various ROMs but at the end it says FAILED: (remote:not allowed
ROMs i have tried are the latest from HTC dev web site PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1 & CM10.2 roms and bootimg files but just get the Failed message at the end.
I have tried locking the boot loader and trying a RUU file but the same thing with failed messages at the end or wrong signature.
Is there something pretty basic I am missing because the fastboot cmds seem to work just not for flashing.
Aslo tried the adb side load but it doesn’t list my device and the cmd don’t work, they work fine in fastboot.
Any help would be appreciated before it ends up in bits!!
The cid on the phone and the ruu has to be the same.

Based on your CID you got the incorrect RUU. You should have gotten this one: RUU_m7_ul_k44_sense55_mr_htc_europe_4-19-401-9_r_radio_4a-23-3263-28_10-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe Going forward once you get back up, you should think of getting S-OFF. It would give you more flexibility with ROM etc. But you also have to be more carefull.
Also, to run the RUU your bootloader must be locked/relocked since you are S-ON.

that wont work as he is s-on, his HBOOT is 1.54 and that RUU has HBOOT 1.56, too many steps up, it will fail with image error.
you need to use this: http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/10/guru-reset-3-62-401-1-stock-rom/
or this one is probably better for you which is probably the same version you had on the phone to start with: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
push it to your internal storage and flash like a custom rom, select wipe data, install stock recovery and install stock radio when prompted, you should get OTAs after that.
