[Solved] Bricked my One?

Hello,
i'm reading here for some weeks and this forum helped me much so far. Now I made a bad mistake while flashing the latest firmware on my One and it seems that I have bricked it.
What have I done?
I used ARHD 5.1 GE on my One with an older firmware. Before that I was using ARHD 4.1. Data of my phone:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.55.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.21.3263.04
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 3.62.401.1
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0710000
(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4260mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: off
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-bb768ae1
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
I changed to SuperCID, before that I had VODAP102. Bootloader is relocked.
After flashing latest firmware, my sdcard got wiped. So I have no backups or any other data on my phone. The phone stops booting after the white screen with the "HTC" logo and shows a turquoise color with little stripes and nothing happens.
I tried to flash another firmware, as you can see in the phone's details. That worked, but changed nothing. I can't install a rom, because adb doesn't find my device, but fastboot does. I tried several HTC-drivers and cables and USB-slots. Nothing.
I read several How-To's but I got stuck with this. Even tried to install the 1.28.401.7 RUU, but that stops with Error 155. After first time that error occured I relocked my bootloader, but that didn't help. I can't push files to the phone, because adb doesn't work.
Now only one thing left: Asking you for help. I'm somewhat frustrated.

1- remove IMEI and s/n
2- install latest TWRP 2.6.3.3 (needed for 4.4 roms)
You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3- confirm adb working in TWRP now, and unlock using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914 or "revone -u"
(you don't need to relock if you're s-off)
4- push, sideload, or OTG a ROM and install
5- error 155 occurs due to hboot 1.55+, you'll need to downgrade to 1.44 to run RUU

no problem, IF you're gonna end up using RUU, you need to downgrade to this hboot: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/1-29-401-12_hboot_1-44-zip/
then go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip
fastboot flash zip 1.29.401.12_hboot_1.44.zip <- just in case the first one says "failed flush again"
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and run the RUU, should work fine.

Thanks for that, but using RUU was only one way I thought of to get my phone working again, because adb push and sideload don't work. If the way you mentioned in your first post works, then I will be absolutely fine without using RUU. Otherwise I will try the RUU option.

It worked! Thanks for your help! :good:

follow my guide in my signature, there is a RUU.EXE available for CID: HTC__001 and MID: PN0710000 (so you can follow the RUU.EXE procedure)
in my opinion do NOT GO S-ON!!

Need more information, can you post output from "fastboot getvar all" , If you already had a custom recovery installed, you need to re unlock your bootloader for it to work, That may be your problem with it not booting. Can you also post bootloader info.

If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM installed the bootloader must remain unlocked!

bootloader isn't recovery. Does the device show relocked in the bootloader screen. If so unlock the bootloader again from the htcdev site, I'm assuming you must have done this once.
Exactly what all did you do yesterday, please explain step by step.

The entire file name would help, also the download link. I think the issue is that that is the wrong file.

wrong

So let's backup a bit here.
Yesterday your phone was stock?
No custom recovery?
Locked bootloader?
You wanted to change rom so found the ruu and attempted to flash
Today the phone bootloops.?
Bootloader is unlocked?
Still no custom recovery?

no

OK so if you had viper one you must have had a custom recovery. I think this will work for you.
Download and flash TWRP 2.6.3.4 be sure to get the m7_ul version, this should get recovery working again.
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
Then use this guru reset file to reset your phone. Read the info and watch the video, then download the one for your device cid and partno
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
should be this one
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
You will likely have to use adb push to get the zip to your device, you can do this in twrp (lots of threads on how to do this)

just another thought. If you haven't started on the guru reset path, You could also try this .
Do what you did here using the ruu you found (assuming it is correct) , but issue the last command twice
so
fastboot oem rebootruu
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.rip
and see what happens, may be that simple

Try your original ruu but do the flash zip twice before reboot.
Can always do the guru later if needed

You have the Sprint version of the HTC One. are you sure your using the Sprint version of the roms your flashing ? the GSM roms wont work and be careful cos if you keep flashing them they will kill your phone, the partition layouts are different.
Also make sure your using the recommended version of recovery for the flashes, on the GSM version its TWRP 2.6.3.3

Your HTC One is Sprint M7-wls, you should only be flashing Software for Sprint phones, The Roms you've tried are for International HTC One M7_ul.
Download TWRP from here and flash it with fastboot http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls To be certain you have a Sprint compatible recovery.
[
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot to TWRP, Select "Wipe" then "Format Data" You will be prompted to type Yes to continue. When its done Reboot Recovery.
Download a Sprint Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one/development put the rom file in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip.
With the phone on the TWRP home screen connect usb and push the rom to the phone
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. When its done install the rom with TWRP.

Is that with all ROM's ? Just try a different one, maybe the one you tried is just a little unstable.

This ^^^^
It's worth trying a different ROM, but if all else fails you should be able to return to stock using the RUU and Firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856
You will probably need to flash the firmware first to downgrade your hboot before the RUU will flash. I'm not 100% sure how that works for Sprint phones. It certainly won't do any harm so best to do it anyway. If the problem continues after the RUU then Unfortunatly it probably means you've damaged your flash memory some how. Does the device still have warranty?

thanks a lot friends!
I've installed the viper rom and it's works fine!
thanks again!

I'm trying to flash the new recovery to my HTC One but it just says waiting for device. I don't think my PC recognizes my phone. Its stuck in a bootloop also. On the bootloader it says fastboot usb though.

Windows 8 can be a bit finicky when it comes to fastboot. Is your device on hboot 1.44? Windows 8 is in no way compatible with hboot 1.44 if its anything higher you probably just need to play with the drivers.
What is the device listed as in Device Manger on the PC? It should be "My HTC"

[SOLVED] Can anyone help me fix my htc one m7?

I recently acquired an htc one m7. i decided it would be cool to root it and put a custom rom ( i have had experience in this i have done it on my s3 my galaxy tab 2.0 and a galaxy express) so i unlocked my bootloader, flashed a custom rom and rooted my device and i decided (stupidly) to erase everything from the device (System, data, internal storage, cache, and dalvik cache) but then i realized i didnt have the file on my phone and couldnt do anything with it so i started researching. i tried to gain s-off but with every solution i need to be booted up but i dont have an os so i cannot. i tried adb sideloading the file and it just errors. i tried pushing the file and flashing it and it errors. i tried fastboot flashing it but it wont verify it. i read on a forum on this site that said to flash roms with s-on you need to flash the boot image after. i tried this and it didnt work either. i also tried flashing the factory RUU with hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit. this did not work. ive tried different recovery (but not different versions of these recoveries) everytime i try flashing a rom it errors and says it couldnt detect filesystem for /dev/block/plat then it cuts off and after it says mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msn_ then it cuts off then it continues unmount of /system failed: no such volume (even tho in my file directory there defiantly is one) then it says patching system image unconditionally..... failed to open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/b E: error executing epdater binary in zip ' /sdcard then cuts off. i have no idea how to fix this sorry for such a long post please help me.

You can't flash custom roms from fastboot, it must be flashed from custom recovery. The only things that can be flashed from fastboot are recovery, firmware and ruu + flashing a firwmare or a ruu will require to be booted in RUU mode, not in bootloader mode.
i read on a forum on this site that said to flash roms with s-on you need to flash the boot image after. i tried this and it didnt work either.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is true for most of HTC devices but not for the M7. The boot partition is not secured (not protected by s-on) and is flashed automatically when flashing a rom from custom recovery.
i also tried flashing the factory RUU with hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit.

Which RUU exactly (link please) + post the output of "fastboot getvar all" and finally don't use any toolkits, work directly from the command prompt using fastboot and adb commands. Toolkits are not the best when in this situation.

This is the typical error of using an outdated recovery to flash a rom that require "block:by-name" support (e.g like trying to flash Cyanogenmod using twrp older than 2.7.x.x.) so again What is your recovery version and what rom and version is it?

I would suggest you to avoid using toolkits and instead work directly from a command window using the latest android sdk tools (fastboot and adb). Files that comes with these toolkits, like Hasoon 2000, are outdated.
E.g:
Hasoon 2000 v 3.1
Outdated SU binaries (1.45). Latest is 2.46 and is mandatory for lollipop roms.
Outdated TWRP recovery (2.6.0.1) - Latest twrp recovery for the M7 is 2.8.7.0, all roms requires at least 2.6.3.3, some other like Cyanogenmod requires at lest 2.7.1.1
Outdated CWM recovery (6.0.3.4) - latest cwm for M7 is 6.0.4.8
So setup your android sdk tool folder, download your custom recovery directly from TWRP or CWM website (twrp is preferred for the M7), flash the recovery using fastboot, copy the om to your phone and flash it in recovery.

You need to be on the stock rom to sim unlock the phone so better to relock the bootloader, flash the ruu, unlock the sim using a sim unlock code, unlock the bootloader again and flash the rom you want to use.

Are you using the fastboot version linked in the same thread from where you have downloaded the ruu? You must use that version of fastboot, the normal one that comes with the sdk tools can't handle big file like this ruu.

keep both fastboot version, save that one in the same folder as the original fastboot but name it htc_fastboot.exe so you have both fastboot version. When needed, type "htc_fastboot your_command" instead of "fastboot your_command" like when flashing the ruu:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu_file_name.zip
fastboot reboot

All done, I got the phone unlocked for a couple of pounds on Ebay, and managed to install the RUU you suggested. Managed to update to a custom ROM today and everything is good. I did try to re-lock the bootloader and ran into another loop, so left it open for now with tampered and security warning for now. Apart from that it's all working fine. Thanks again for your help Alray.
