Total Noob - need to install generic HTC software

Hi there, I currently have an HTC One M7 with Tmobile UK firmware and I am fed up waiting for update to KitKat and Sense 6. I understand that this is the correct place to ask a question on how to change the software so that it will take HTC official updates rather than tmob approved updates.
From what I have read I need to s-off with firewater first and flash a recovery. Is that correct? Does anyone have step by step instructions on what to do please as I do not want to brick my phone? I would like to install the "normal" HTC software and receive updates from HTC rather than wait for tmobile.
Thanks

No, I have downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip though, is this the correct thing?

easiest way is to download and install this, you need to run as administrator for it to work:

once installed, reboot your phone to fastboot mode, basically restart it and whilst its shutting down hold down the volume down button, you will enter the bootloader, plug it into the computer and select fastboot on the phone screen, if its not already there, its should now say fastboot usb.
Open a command window in the fastboot and adb window you have just installed on your computer, (control + shift + right mouse click on any white area in that folder, open command window here)

Code:
fastboot getvar all

Thanks, I have installed that and a DOS window has popped up and after entering the command it says "Waiting for device". Do I need to boot the phone pressing volume down to get this to work as I am currently on my "normal" boot i.e. what it looks like when phone is powered on.

perfect :good:
Right your on hboot 1.55 s-off should be easy, boot back to android, type fastboot reboot in the command window (if you've not already rebooted that is)
use either rumrunner to s-off http://rumrunner.us/
or
Firewater to s-off http://firewater-soff.com/
Do not update before getting s-off, follow the instructions on each of the sites to use the tools, rumrunner is the easiest, just download the package, extract it and run the file, firewater is a little more complicated.
once done, report back here, there will only be 2 more steps to do after that, but keep adb and fastboot on your computer, do not remove them.

Many thanks, I am getting an error though

ahh ok try firewater temp root method, its the 3rd method down, you will have to download 2 files and put them in the same folder as fastboot and adb, where you open the dos window from, the whole thing is run from the dos window, so just copy and paste the commands one at a time as listed on the page.
ahh do you have USB debugging enabled on your rom ?

Thanks, it is attempting to acquire root just now. Will update when complete.

Thanks, I have temproot and s-off now.

excellent, now that you have s-off, you have to be very careful, if you flash the wrong thing, where the phone will stop you and tell you its wrong with some sort of error with s-on, it wont anymore, it will expect that you know what you are doing and still flash it, if its wrong it will brick.
---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
so fist all, if your phone is booted into android still, open a dos window again inside the fastboot / adb folder as before and again, type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
once there, make sure to says fastboot USB on the phone screen.
then be very careful with this one, CID is ALWAYS 8 characters long, bear that in mind with the next command, so the next command is 2 underscores not one inbetween the HTC and the 001. always capital letters, take note of your current cid though, you will need it for warranty purposes.
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
when complete:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------
Its should now say this on your screen or something close to it:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF ??
CID-HTC__001
HBOOT-?????????
RADIO-??????????
OpenDSP-?????????
OS??????????
etc etc etc, can you confirm please ?

[Q] Soft-Bricked? HTC One M7 AT&T - Need Help

Hey all, going to try to post as much information as possible I'm a noob with this sort of thing. I had Cyanogenmod 11 on here but had lots of battery issues and stability issues, passing this phone off to a friend before she travels internationally and want to just get stock OS back on it. I've tried to follow several guides but none have really gotten me all the way to due several issues on the way that aren't really covered in those guides so I'm stuck asking for help after a few days of struggling with this.
Phone Info:
For Fastboot info (I can't post outside links yet)...
imgur/dgOIaG6
For hboot info... (I can't post outside links yet)
imgur/7z0Bi6Z
Ideally I'd like to get stock sense back on the phone, or Google Play Edition.
Here are a few instances of it bombing during commands.
D:\Development\AndroidStudio\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
sending 'recovery' (9434 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.168s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.575s
D:\Development\AndroidStudio\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
[nothing]
All of the RUU's(I tried all of the Cingular ones) just say they're "Sending" and never get to a progress bar. They just leave my phone with an HTC logo and nothing else.
Console Output from HTC One Toolkit
adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
adb shell /data/local/tmp/./revone -s 0 -u

adb shell /data/local/tmp/./revone -s 0 -u

adb push "D:\Development\AndroidStudio\sdk\platform-tools\TWRP.img" "File Destination...Use \ NOT / or // !"
At this point adb doesn't really appear to be working at all, and fastboot is the only response I'll get.
I'm down to actively work on this issue and follow any troubleshooting steps you guys throw at me.
Thanks in advance.

your images arnt working, is your bootloader unlocked ?
adb commands wont work in the bootloader therefore type fastboot devices and see if you get a result, if so type: fastboot getvar all and post the result here, it will help us a lot, be sure to remove your imei and serial number from the output before posting.
if your typing adb devices inside recovery or a booted rom, then you have a driver issue, check device manager and also FAQ 2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2

@nkk71 thanks, how did you get those images up, I couldnt get them to show.
@Phaymous you need too unlock your bootloader to flash recovery, that's why its failing.
but before you do that, here's the RUU that you need to use, however, if you have a driver problem you will have to sort that out first, do not use the toolkits, most of the time they are out of date, once done, put your phone into fastboot USB mode and run the RUU.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...20_10-40-1150-04_release_326691_signed_2-exe/
you can try this for drivers and a better version of adb and fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

PS: don't bother with revone, you have an ATT patched hboot, you can either use rumrunner, firewater, sunshine, or the att downgrade method

Seanie,
I unlocked the Bootloader and downloaded the RUU. However, it just fails with a 155 error:
ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.

I'm trying it again, but all I have is the "HTC" Logo screen on my phone while it's in progress, and on my PC it simply shows that it's "Sending..." indefinitely.
How can I confirm that I am not having driver issues in this mode? This is my driver setup currently: imgur/DqdOr3X (add the http and .com)
Again, fastboot works, but adb devices does not display the device information.

I've tried to follow the guide that you have listed and I downloaded the 'better version of adb and fastboot', it seems that it is still unsuccessful in running adb commands. While in the bootloader I should be in fastboot selection on phone while trying to run these adb commands correct? The .zip image guide of drivers doesn't exactly play out the same on my PC. I also tried to look for uninstalling the Google USB Driver and re-installing but couldn't find anywhere to uninstall it (it's certainly not in Control Panel), Android Studio/SDK Manager shows that I have the latest version of it installed, however. As for the picture guide that lists him selecting the ADB Driver, I don't have that driver / cannot select it, and it's not anywhere that I can see in his packages so I'm confused by that guide.

you need to have your phone in fastboot USB mode whilst running the ruu, not on the white screen with the green HTC logo
if your having trouble getting to this screen, then hold down the power button and volume down together whilst the lights on the bottom flash 10 to 15 times, when they stop flashing, release the power button, but continue to hold the volume down, it should take you to the bootloader, select fastboot in the list if its not already there and plug into your PC, it should now say fastboot USB on the screen.
your drivers look fine, it says MyHTC, that's fine.
bootloader needs to be locked / relocked for the RUU, or unlocked to flash a custom recovery, according to your output in your picture, that's your RUU.
adb commands will not work in the bootloader full stop, only fastboot commands, adb is only for when in recovery or booted rom.
---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------
this is your version main: 1.26.502.15 basically the firmware version on your output, and that's the most needed and important number
and this is the RUU: RUU M7 UL JB 50 Cingular US 1.26.502.15 Radio 4A.17.3250.20 10.40.1150.04 Release 326691 Signed 2
it should work, check the MD5 of the RUU you downloaded to make sure its not corrupt, and also that the file size matches the size on the site you downloaded it from, if your not sure how to check MD5, refer to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135620

Okay so it sounds like ADB is nothing I should be concerned about, nor my drivers.
Sorry for the confusion about my fastboot usb screen, I'm aware of how to get there, I was referring to while applying the RUU it just sits at a 'frozen' HTC logo page while it's attempting to deploy the RUU. I attempt the deploy from the fastboot USB screen.
Do I need to re-lock my bootloader? I thought I had to *unlock* my bootloader after the original post.
Now my phone shows:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
From Fastboot USB mode, I should be attempting to apply the RUU at this point, correct?
Thanks

for RUU flashes it needs to be Locked or Relocked
For custom recovery flashes it needs to be unlocked.
sorry about the confusion

How can I proceed to re-lock for RUU? Because originally I thought you guys had me unlock my bootloader?

open a command window in the same folder as your adb and fastboot on your computer, to do that hold control & shift & right mouse click in any white area of that window and select open command window here
plug your phone into the computer and make sure it says fastboot usb on the screen
then type: fastboot oem lock
then type fastboot reboot-bootloader
done.
I said in my 2nd post you need to unlock the bootloader to flash a custom recovery, but before you do that..............

One last question for you Seanie (thanks again).
Software information shows Android Version 4.1.2, HTC Sense version 5.0, Software Number 1.26.502.15, HTC SDK API level 5.12.
Is there any way to force Google/HTC/AT&T to serve me up the latest version of Android OS? Will it receive 4.4 in time? I believe HTC One M7 came stock with KitKat iirc.
Thanks for your help.

[Q] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Unresponsive

Hello,
I while ago I decided to root my HTC to get some extra stuff. I used a guide on youtube that seemed to be reasonably well made and followed everystep of the process. But before I could root it I had to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I got the latest version and proceeded to the next step, where I encountered my problem. After flashing the recovery everything seemed to be well except that my phone wasn't actually rooted. I decided to redo some of the last steps. This is where things get a bit tricky. I have done this quite a while ago (maybe 3-4 months) and don't exactly remember the steps that I repeated but I think I've also flashed TWRP a second time, as well as some other steps. And when it came to the part where I needed to use the recovery I found out that the recovery doesn't work. I can't press anything on the screen, I can however press the lock button and lock the device but when the *slide to unlock* appears it stops working again. I was running out of time and decided to leave it for another time but time has passed and I never really got the time to tinker with it any more since university started and I'm more busy then ever. This has left me with no ability to root or even update my phone.
This brings me to today, when I restored my phone completely forgetting what has happened. It got back to Android 4.1 and I can't do anything about it.
I hope to sort this out and finally root the phone. But even getting rid of TWRP to the original recovery so I could just update my phone would be very helpfull.
Thank you very much.

What are you trying to accomplish? Return to Stock? S-OFF?

I don't know what adb is, sorry. And no I don't, I had to do everything on my friend's laptop because it didn't seem to work on my machine (W8.1 compared to his W7).
Edit. But I do have acces to it pretty much all the time.

you can flash twrp 2.6.3.3
download the file and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot
then open the command prompt and with the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
What do you want to achieve then? Custom rooted rom? stock rooted rom (latest version)? or you simply what to root the rom you currently have?

Hey. I got a problem with my beloved M7. Few days ago I gave a chance to CM12, but I got bored of it and tried to flash InsertCoin 4.0.5. Everything went well but now my phone boots up and locks the screen. If I unlock the screen, a green HTC logo on white background appears. After few seconds of showing the logo the phone reboots and locks the screen again. I can freely access the TWRP, but I have no backup and I lost CM12 installing files. Please can someone help me bring my lovely phone back to life?
P.S sorry for my English

Just follow this guide, it should help:
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone any ways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didn't install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

Follow @alray guide as posted by @majmoz if the problem persists try flashing CM11 then go to Settings>About>Phone Identity and check your IMEI is displayed correctly there. Also check baseband in Settings>About>Software Information>More.

To get the getvar info your Device should be in the bootloader in fastboot usb mode.
Then send the fastboot getvar all command.

@Danny201281 Yeah, I tried to do this in fastboot mode. Windows pop up says that there is unrecognized device connected, what shouldn't have even happened because I have the latest HTC drivers(2.0.7.27) from HTC Sync.

We need to know your CID, MID and Version Main which is all in the getvar. In any case you will need fastboot working to flash your firmware.

Sorry i can't help with adb/fastboot problems when running Linux as a VM. I've never used linux as a virtual machine in windows, and your knowledge of Windows it's self is probably better than mine especially Windows 8. I'm confident there is no problem with your device this is a connectivity issue most probably caused by drivers. Hopefully @majmoz or @clsA can help you get it working on windows 8.
Although booting your laptop from a usb shouldn't be that difficult. You just need to change the boot order in the bios. The bios can be accessed normally by pressing "Delete" or "F2" during the first boot screen on your laptop. Then change the boot settings so that USB is the first boot device. What make is your laptop?

Help - cannot enter system after clean installation of Android Revolution

So aftter downloading the Android Revolution and wiping the data, I tried installing the ROM.
However it keeps booting into recovery mode. I have no idea how to fix this.
The phone tries to boot up normally, but fails to do so. It restarts and boots into recovery. (TWRP 2.5.0.0)
I have tried deleting installing a few times. Where I cleared both the cache and dalvik cache.
Still nothing. Is there any way to get another ROM onto my phone now? My computer doesn't recognize the device anymore.
After the installation it says complete, but shows an error: "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"
after this it says: "installation was succesful!" and tells me to do 1 full system boot before flashing mods.:crying::crying:
"Update, I found out I used a rom designed for M8 and not M7.
If anyone could help me getting ADB to work and a rom I can flash and pretty much a tutorial. I would be super grateful

So I found a m7 rom. But when trying to push it using ADB it takes a really long time and ends in protocol error.

Here is one problem. You won't be able to flash any recent roms using twrp 2.5.0.0. Update your recovery first: https://dl.twrp.me/m7/
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
make sure you have the latest adb version (1.0.32) using the command:
Code:
adb version
If not update your android sdk-tools: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Also make sure you have the latest htc drivers installed on your computer
With the latest twrp and drivers you'll be able to transfer a rom to your phone using MTP protocol when booted in twrp main menu (simply drag and drop your file from your computer to your phone storage).
If using newer roms (android 5.0.2) your phone must have a 7.xx.xxx.x firmware installed on it. Older firmware running new roms cam have issues. To determine your firmware version, use the command "fastboot getvar version-main" or "fastboot getvar all"

Finally pushed the files to the phone.
But after installing my phone still keeps entering recovery mode (twrp).

afaik, not with 2.5.0.0. If you can't see the device when in bootloader / fastboot usb mode then you have drivers issues. make sur eyou have latest htc drivers installed. If needed download htc sync. This will install htc sync and the latest drivers. Then uninstall htc sync (but don't uninstall the drivers). You don't want HTC sync on your computer because it will interfere with fastboot / adb connectivity.

My computer can see the device only in recovery. Everytime I'm in the bootloader/fastboot menu it dissapears from the device list in ADB.
Is it possible to flash the phone while in recovery?

you won't get any adb connectivity when booted in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. ADB only works from a booted rom with usb debug turned on or from a custom recovery. In bootloader you must use fastboot commands. To see if your phone is detected by your computer when in bootlaoder / fastboot usb mode, use the command "fastboot devices"
If your phone isn't listed with this command, please post a screenshot of your Windows devices manager with the phone connected and booted in bootloader / fastboot usb mode. Also need to know what is your bootloader version? 1.44/1.54/1.55/1.56/1.57 or 1.61 ? You can see this info when booted in bootloader mode

You can't flash a new recovery using twrp 2.5.0.0, you must use fastboot
:good:

ok hboot 1.44 is the oldest one and have compatibility issues with windows 8 and 10. Do you have access to a windows 7 computer?

Please setup everything on this computer (HTC drivers + Android sdk tools (adb and fastboot), this will be much easier to work with Win7 because of your 1.44 hboot. Later, once your hboot will be updated, you'll be able to use your Win10 computer without any problem but for now better to work with Win7. Once you got everything installed on your win7 computer, boot the phone in bootloader / fastboot usb mode and use the command "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is detected. If yes then use "fastboot getvar all" command. take a screenshot of this command output and post it here (censor the IMEI number and the SERIALNO number before uploading your picture). Don't update the recovery for now.

My windows 7 computer keeps asking for a "android 1.0" driver, even though I installed the HTC one m7 driver package downloaded from HTC. I also tried installing HTC Sync, but it doesn't seem to help. Also it only shows "Android 1.0" while in fastboot so I assume this is the fastboot driver?
one more thing. I can't get it to show it's connected to ADB while in recovery.

Strange, it should be easy to make it work on win7. You might want to try this drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...nt/adb-fb-apx-driver-universal-naked-t2513339
