edit and tldr
ok so i recieved the phone from htc with a bootloop out of the box
instead of sending it back i was a numpty and decided to sort it myself and unlocked it to flash a rom
i accidentially deleted all the data
managed to get my winsows 8 laptop working today and got drivers working smoothly to the point i was able to sideload a rom so the phone finally had life from being a brick
my issue is no matter what rom i load it boots to splash screen, hangs at a black screen with the status bar at the top and battery and time then reboots and repeats.
i want help to get my phone back to life and stable with a workable rom and no bootlooping
i dont know what the issue is
i dont have s off
rumrunner wont work
i cannot boot into phone to allow debugging or disable fast boot
please help

hi there, thank you for the reply, i have done steps 1, id already done that but ive done it again and installed the sdk into a folder in c drive for ease. the only problem is that when i click on fastboot in xp it comes up with a cmd windows a lot of writing comes down and then it just closes :/
ive already voided the warranty as ive somehow managed to unlock the bootloader and ive flashed cmw now what i need to do is somehow get s off and sideload a rom
another issue i have is that because i cant use fastboot the way youve said, ive downloaded an all in one tool from this forum, when i click a process it dosent do anything for me, but what it does so, is open a cmd window in which im able to type in fast boot commands i did the getvar all command and here is what you requested
'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Why don't you think they would give you a new working one?... :s (this is just a rhetorical question)
thanks for your reply, i am not able to open a command by selecting the white space as for toonight im running on a 15 year old xp laptop. i will try the ruu but any i have tried have concluded in giving what i think was a 170 error saying use correct ruu
the ruu you have linked indicates i need s off, which i am having trouble doing, could you guide me ? i am thinking when i have fixed my windows 8 laptop tommorow this is going to be a smoother process. it also says i need hboot 1.44 and have to flash this

If you don't solve it before I get a lil bit of time, I can try for tonight but can't promise it as it's still hectic here at work, I'll log in remotely and have a look at things if you want, and try to help you get it sorted.
In the meantime, you can take a picture of the hboot or fastboot screen that you get to with power + vol down and post it, and that will help you get the information from us for more information on the phone.
Also post a shot of the correspondence from HTC with your personal information removed/redacted/left out and that will also help us help you.
DO NOT ATTEMPT S - OFF with the knowledge and hardware that you're working with, you first need to use adb and fastboot some and be familiar with it before even going there. I'm not saying not ever, I'm saying not until you've resolved this and the phone's running good.

when i run rumrunner with my version 2.24.401.1 it just says run again and read. so obviously failing. i did everything before i typed fastboot devices and got my device code, then getvar ver to get my number and downloaded appropriately but rum runner dosent work. so no s off. i give up.
sorry didnt read your reply, well it didnt initialise so no s off anyway

flash twrp/cwm recovery to your one
open the sideload feature of the customer recovery on your phone and connect to your computer usb
download this and put the downloaded file together with your adb and fastboot folder
then adb sideload or adb push the dowloaded guru reset to your One
once it is done, you can install the guru reset zip using the custom recovery install option
right just to update i have some semi good news and fell im getting somewhere
got my windows 8 laptop up and running today and installed all drivers and adp corrdctly, this accounts for the intel usb 3 mod too. adb and fastboot were recognising the device.
ive succesfully got out of brick mode and managed to get a rom to sideload to the deviice, the rom being viper rom in question, installed successfully, only issue is i have a wierd bootlooping issue where it does actually boot to lockscreen but when i pull lockscreen up with my finger it shows htc splash screen.
having ago with android revolution now.
wondering if i have to flash a boot.img or something

Doesnt show my Basband num, IMEI, MEID, NetWork, IP in UI (but it shows up when i Run "Fastboot getvar all".
Progress com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding.
Boot loops every 5-7 min.
What I did:
Last weeks i bricked my sch-i500 so even though I have Verizon I went out to buy HTC one on sprint (hoping i cant make it work on Verizon).
So i unlocked BootLoader and Rooted the device. Yet for some reason SU wasn't working right - i didnt have root rights.
So i decided to Mod flash it. Made a backup in TWRP, wiped: dalvik, cache, data. and successfully flashed Android Revolution HD 53.0.
But I guess not. Because once i rebooted my screen tripped pink right before the boot animation and never loaded into UI.
I restarted it and gave it another 10 min of loading time - nothing.
I wiped after the previous ROM and flashed Venom ROM, ViperOne 6.2.0.
This one took long to boot up as well but once it did it would just show HTC logo screen upon screen unlock.
I gave it time and it actually brings up the "get started page" 5 min in - problem is it would reboot 1 min after.
After i flashed kernel.
Newest version of Gapps.
Tried LiquidSmooth Rom - that would boot me up but didn't solve my issue plus it didn't have google play and other apps.
I even tried going back to the recovery. It would SPRINT it back into stock yet have the acquired issues since i installed the mod: show HTC logo screen once it entered the UI and the rest of bs
I managed to get the get started page and run through it real quick before it rebooted.
But it had no service, and all those issues i stated above.
Now i came back to ViperOne and once the logo screen flashed to "get started" i ran through it real quick and now thats where im at. But it restarts. And has initial issues.
My Plan:
I researched and came to conclusion that i need to flash the radio.
But before i see i need to flash the Firmware.
In order to flash the firmware i need to Get S-OFF.
Ran RumRunnerr, FireWater, MoonShine they all crash at one point or another.
So Im stuck and idk what to do. Unable to go stock or fix the present. Any ideas?

okay qiute a lot of work you did there... i personally recommend mooshine s-off.. i also didnt get s-off in rumrunner and firewater kept crashing... try moonshine on a windows 7 pc, it'll work for sure... and after that run RUU of your preferred choice of base band and it should fix your problem...:fingers-crossed:

are you trying it in windows 7 pc or in windows 8.1... because in windows 8.1 there is no driver support and there is chances of bricking the phone...:fingers-crossed:

It doesnt matter .. i am able to do everything on win8.1 pc as i am in win7. All you have to do is find and install correct drivers if they dont install automatically.
Although attempting S-OFF methods were done on win7 PC.
But in any case I appreciate your input because i started getting a feeling that no-one replies to new posts now.
Apart from that you pushed me to go out and research more and i found a simple method that took me back to stock in about 20 min.
This post saved my crying soul.. thank you - O.M.J
And thank you - praveensk.rcb. You're a good friend :fingers-crossed:
Important note
If anyone will find the method above helpful - something to keep in mind - it wipes your internal storage.
So if you have somth on your internal SDCard that you dont wanna loose - u know what to do.

My TWRP was not designed for Sprint HTC One.
Sprint requires its own TWRP to flash properly.
So now i ROMed into ViperOne 6.2.0 :highfive:
Need Help!
Hey guys i'm getting an active cmdline over flow on my Sprint Htc One that i sim unlocked to use on a GSM network. Sadly along with that i'm constantly dropping and reconnecting to the network.
It appears that my mmcblk0p19 seems to be corrupted.
So my question is can anyone who has a Sprint Htc One PN072 pull the misc partition from their phone and upload it so that i may compare and fix mine?
in custom recovery, do the following adb commands:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/tmp/mmcblk0p19_bak.img
adb pull /tmp/mmcblk0p19_bak.img
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

I have a Tmobile HTC One M7. It was awesome! However, I wanted to root it. So I successfully unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then proceeded to attempt to root. Something went wrong and now this thing is useless! I cannot tell you where it went wrong because when the first sign of trouble appeared I started doing all kinds of **** to try and fix it, none of which worked and I have lost track of what I did in the process of trying to root and then subsequently trying to fix. I know there were some wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, install zip from SD, I may have even tried to flash a custom ROM without the thing being rooted. I have been reading for days, trying this, trying that to no avail. The phone is brand new, without a scratch. It will power up like normal, but when it gets to the lock screen where you swipe the little lock in the bottom tray to use the phone it will not respond at all! It recognizes the network because it is displayed in the notifications bar up top, it can see the signal strength, it knows what time it is, it knows what the date is, but it will not get past the damn lock screen. ADB sideload works. I was able to push a zip and flashed it, even said android is upgrading when I rebooted, but it did not solve my problem. It will not power off, but when I hold the power button down, to turn it off the back arrow < and home symbol flash and after about 10 seconds a dialog box pops up that says to restart your phone continue to press and hold the power button and starts a countdown. Once the countdown gets to zero it restarts. If I hold the volume down button while doing this it will go into the boatloader and I can get into recovery. Apparently there is no backup to restore because when I try a restore I get the same exact same thing. I thought I had done one, I must have erased it somehow. I have been trying to resolve this for weeks now and am at my wits end. Any suggestions please !?!? Otherwise this things going in the trash.

1- relax
2- try and remember what went wrong... you could check your downloads to see what things you downloaded, maybe that will help you remember
3- what recovery do you have (name and version number)
4- post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)
if need be: Force reboot: press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.
(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)

I don't know what posting a "fastboot getvar all" means. I am a complete newbie! I can get to the bootloader with no problem. It's been weeks since I fouled this thing up and do not know how to check my downloads. I have TWRP recovery. Not sure which name and number, will check when I get home. Will RUU help me?

1 - relax
2 - slow down. don't try ten things in a row.
3- search and read.
4- you have a perfectly good $500 phone so before you throw it in the trash PM me I'll take it and even pay for shipping
5- it really sounds like you are very close to a working phone but you are just a little impatient and inexperienced (see items 1 2 and 3)
6- don't RUU *yet* until you've checked to see if something simpler will do.
Look, if you already put TWRP on there, you probably had fastboot working on your computer at some point. You're going to need fastboot to fix this. Running the command fastboot getvar all is not too hard for you to accomplish. Google how to do it and post the results (minus your personal info like serial number and IMEI) here.
PS quick clarification on terminology for HTC phones, root doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
To get root permissions in the OS
You unlock the bootloader
That allows you to flash a custom recovery
Then in recovery you either
a) flash a ROM that is already "rooted"
or
b) flash a zip that "roots" your existing ROM
In the HTC world you do not "root" an entire phone, you only root a ROM.

1 - relax
2 - slow down. don't try ten things in a row.
3- search and read.
4- you have a perfectly good $500 phone so before you throw it in the trash PM me I'll take it and even pay for shipping
5- it really sounds like you are very close to a working phone but you are just a little impatient and inexperienced (see items 1 2 and 3)
6- don't RUU *yet* until you've checked to see if something simpler will do.
Look, if you already put TWRP on there, you probably had fastboot working on your computer at some point. You're going to need fastboot to fix this. Running the command fastboot getvar all is not too hard for you to accomplish. Google how to do it and post the results (minus your personal info like serial number and IMEI) here.
PS quick clarification on terminology for HTC phones, root doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
To get root permissions in the OS
You unlock the bootloader
That allows you to flash a custom recovery
Then in recovery you either
a) flash a ROM that is already "rooted"
or
b) flash a zip that "roots" your existing ROM
In the HTC world you do not "root" an entire phone, you only root a ROM.

I am having problem with my htc one. It continuously reboots. Displays HTC Logo then O2 then Beats audio and then restart.

after volume down and pressing power button factory reset, in fast boot rebooted the boot loader. When I go into the recovery it gives red triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle.
I tried connecting it with adb but it says

Did you do a factory reset? If so you will need to reflash the rom.

I have downloaded the RUU file
htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_ul_k44_sense55_mr_o2_uk_4-20-206-16_radio_4a-23-3263-28_10-38r-1157-04l_release_353143_signed_2-exe
for modelid: PN0710000
cidnum: O2___001
I executed the file while in Fastboot usb mode. The file gave different messages and told me that going to urgrade the ROM to 4.xx. Then it asked me to press next. When I pressed next it restarted the phone and it again went into the infinite loop on restating. while the PC screen was saying waiting for the bootloader and then after 2 or 3 min it said that error in the USB connection.
the phone says MY HTC in Android USB devices when its in Fastboot mode while in normal boot loader mode its not detected. Also adb does not gives anything when i give command adb devices. However Fastboot devices gives serial number if the device.

I would remove all the drivers and start from scratch. FIrst thing you will need to get working is your adb drivers on your PC. Make sure to be running windows 7, uninstall all android drivers, reboot PC, then plug in the android in bootloader mode and let the OS install the needed drivers.

Then something is wrong with your driver set up. Check the threads in this section of other ways to get it working. I know that if you had HTC sync installed that it would cause these issues. I have never had this issue where what I discribed above didnt fix

could you define the difference between "fastboot mode" and "bootloader mode"?
if you are in bootloader and it says FASTBOOT USB (in red), it will detect your device

Yes my device is detected in FASTBOOT USB but is not detected in ADB devices even in BOOTLOADER
since my bootloader is LOCKED. I had tried unlocking it through htcdev procedure but after the procedure and pressing ok on device it again says LOCKED
so I cannot UNLOCK the bootloader and thus cannot install custom recovery.
What should I do now

not sure what you mean, but:

As I explained in our pm's you need to be on hboot 1.55 to use that ruu.
To get your phone unlocked I think you need to flash firmware to refresh your hboot. But unfortunately there isn't any available any where unless @nkk71 knows where you might find it.
With your phone in its current state there is no way for you to use adb, since it won't work in stock recovery. I'm considering going out of my way to help you out here but let's see if nkk71 has anything first.

wait, i guess i misunderstood, are you saying HTCdev bootloader unlock is no longer working?? (can you copy/paste command prompt output of that, don't forget to get a new token)
can you also copy/paste the command prompt output of "fastboot oem rebootRUU", do you actually get to ruu mode:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
if you can get to RUU mode, you should try to get the RUU to work.
the 4.xx RUUs are OK, but are very picky about PC configuration, USB ports, etc.

Hi nkk71, I had the same problem with my friends O2uk m7, When it comes helpful files there doesn't seem to be anything for O2.
The bootloader unlocking goes fine up untill the the point he selects "yes" to unlock on the phone. The phone reboots but is still locked.
The RUU in question is an exe I used it myself after many hours of of failing with error 12 signature verification failed, with hboot 1.57. it's the same with this situation. Eventually my friend decided to pay for the sunshine app so I could s-off the device and I finally got the ruu to work by, changing the cid to HTC__001 I then manipulated the firmware using 401 WWE firmware to bring the phone to hboot 1.55. I then changed the cid back to O2__001 and the RUU worked.
So I think he needs the 3.xx.206.x firmware to run the ruu.

ah, yes, i think you're right, HTC did change some "stuff" between earlier releases and later ones, so that would explain the signature fail.
but how did the OP end up in this situation? could very well be a hardware problem... do you have any info on that? considering he's S-On / LOCKED (ie never messed with his phone), and a "semi-successful" HTCdev unlock (ie token is fine, but unlock doesn't unlock) does sound awfully familiar to a hardware problem
* what's the command output of "fastboot oem rebootRUU"? does it go to ruu mode?
* how did this happen?? (is it one of those "it happened suddenly" things?)

I'll be honest I was considering converting my phone to O2 stock and capturing the ota's and making a few stock nandroids. A lot of trouble to help one person especially as you think it could be hardware. But it would help the O2 community as a whole so maybe worth the effort.

Well not knowing the background is a real problem.
Do you happen to know the colour of the bootloader? is it a GPE bootloader... this could be another badly done Sense to GPE back to Sense conversion... therefore missing the necessary files/partitions for htcdev unlock to work (even if it's a HTC bootloader)
There is a 4.xx firmware that he could flash (has hboot 1.56 dd Nov 29 2013), though I will not recommend it, as chances of unlocking bootloader will be slim if the O2 RUU fails.
and yeah, capturing all those OTAs for O2, is going to be a bit of work... don't wanna sound selfish, but i'm in no mood for that atm... maybe if i have time on weekend i might consider it, though that is a big maybe

I don't know the bootloader color sorry maybe @hammaad110 can post a picture for us?
I may have a go at capturing the otas if I can make time for it. I won't be capturing them all though may be just the 2.xx and 3.xx with Stock nandroids that would be enough for using the RUU at least and possibility of a reset zip.
Besides I already have the necessary files to make the change to O2. So I wouldn't trouble yourself with that. It was my idea so I wouldn't expect you to go to the trouble of making it happen
As for the bootloader unlocking problem I remember a similar case, although weather we came to a solution is sketchy in my memory. I seem to remember flashing the current firmware fixed the problem. I'll look through my posts and pm's to try to find it so I can clarify it. If that was the case I'll probably capture the ota's to help this guy out and maybe a few others.

Hi,
I've bought a used HTC One M7 from Ghana because I needed a replacement phone while I was working there. I noticed it didn't have a factory ROM on it, but I figured I would change that anyway. So I bought it.
First problem with it was a well documented issue with HTCs and their conflict with Google Play Services which resulted in the malfunctioning of voice calling. Since it wasn't a stock ROM, i was unable to get the OTA updates that eventually fixed this bug.
So I decided to flash a custom ROM on it.
The phone had SuperCID and was S-off. It turns out it was a US Sprint version, although its back cover had an ATT logo. Who knows what was done to this phone. Anyway, since I am far from being an expert at flashing custom ROMs and custom recoveries, I asked a friend to help.
He managed to install TWRP and a Cyanogen 12 nightly ROM (12-20151108-NIGHTLY-m7spr) but in the process something must have happened because now, even though the phone works fine and boots fine, it doesn't recognise my sim card and there is no network signal.
When I realised that the baseband, IMEI, MEID, ICCID and a few others said "unknown" instead of their values, i dug through this forum and concluded that the EFS partition must have been erased or damaged in the process. (is there a way to confirm that?) There was no backup, obviously.
I have read bits and pieces of information about this problem, but nothing that seemed helpful in my particular case.
I can't flash any other ROM on it because it says the MD-5 file is missing or something like this.
So I am stuck with an almost working phone, and no solution to my problem. I even called HTC service and they said they will not fix a phone sold in the US, since I live in Romania.
So this is basically my only hope of getting this phone to work again. If even possible. So, please, in layman terms, what can I do?
Thank you!

Hi,
I've bought a used HTC One M7 from Ghana because I needed a replacement phone while I was working there. I noticed it didn't have a factory ROM on it, but I figured I would change that anyway. So I bought it.

First of all, sprint phones are CDMA phone. Once the sim is unlocked, it will work on GSM but you'll not get full connectivity i.e probably no LTE.
Is the IMEI MEID and Baseband correctly displayed when using "fastboot getvar all"? Also post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (don't shate your imei and meid). Sometimes, flashing a RUU can fix this problem, in some other cases its caused by an hardware defect.
And btw, HTC phone does not have an EFS partition.

Thank you for your reply. I will get the information you mentioned and I will reply again as soon as I have it. If the HTCs don't have that partition, then this gives me a bit of hope, since I am sure that the baseband, IMEI and all the others were there before I flashed the CyanogenMod. So it might not be a hardware issue.
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. Overworking and having to do everything on a Mac makes these things a bit harder. Basically I have to read tutorials for every step I do. So..
I finally was able to get the fastboot command a try. You were right. The IMEI and MEID are there, but the baseband is not. What does that mean? Flashing a RUU will fix this? Can you point me to the right RUU to flash so I don't brick this troublesome phone?
Thank you again for your help. If anybody else has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Just wanted to let everyone know that it worked. I was able to flash a Sprint RUU (not the one from their website, because the exe utility crashed at some point. don't ask me why) I flashed a zip RUU using fastboot. Just like that. In two minutes I had my phone back.
So, again, thank you very much for your help.
