[Q] HTC One - Soft Brick

I wanted to change my rom on my HTC One. I first fastbooted a new recovery img TWRP.
On the TWRP recovery screen, I decided to wipe all of my data on my phone out with the advanced settings of wipe on TWRP..I still don't why I did that. The data isn't the problem however, I then decided to go back to Clockwork recovery and use adb to push a stock rom to fix my problem.
However after flashing the Stock rom onto my phone, the phone is stuck on the boot loading screen. My HTC One is S-On so I used a special rom that works for S-On HTC One phones. However the stock rom doesn't seem to work.
I'm stuck here not knowing on what to do next. I've tried everything...different roms etc.
Any Ideas?

oh dear, got yourself into a bit of a mess there.
first thing is to get your phone back to the bootloader, so hold down the power button and the volume down together, DO NOT LET GO, the lights on the bottom will flash 10-15 times, when they stop flashing, release the power button only, continue to hold down the volume down, it will now enter the bootloader.
Post your fastboot getvar all please, WITHOUT IMEI & SERIAL NUMBER.
also, please provide some links to the special :fingers-crossed: stock rom you flashed ? all rom's for your model work, s-on or s-off.

ok, guru reset works fine, recovery is the problem, you need to use twrp 2.6.3.3, push the zip again and install, select wipe data, install stock recovery and install stock radio.
also check the MD5 and file size before pushing the zip, the site has some issues with the files at the moment.
however, once you have done that, you have a good HBOOT there, so if you want s-off on your phone, now is the time to do it after you've got that guru reset installed, before any OTA's, try rumrunner to get s-off.

i flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3
however i can't adb the rom
C:\AndroidSDK>adb sideload Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
when i used Clockwork i used
adb usb
adb push filename.zip /sdcard/obb
which put the file onto the sdcard and i was able to flash the zip file
however this doesn't work with TWRP because it doesn't show me the obb file on the SD card and just comes up blank.

from the main screen only inside TWRP recovery, no sub menus, you seem quite experienced, but obviously the zip must be inside your adb and fastboot folder, it will appear unresponsive, takes about 5 mins to push, but your cmd window will let you know when its done.
Code:
adb push Guru_Reset_M7_3.62.401.1.zip /sdcard/

same problem is still occurring, I've installed the new zip file with TWRP, I wiped, rooted and installed radio etc. Still stuck on the HTC one loading screen.
I've check the MD5 and it matched however instead of 1.11GB as stated on the site its 1.12GB with the file being 1,176,264. I don't know if that means anything.

Sadly nothing has changed. I used erase cache after installing the recovery, if that means anything.

just wondering:
1- is the installation successful
2- how long are you waiting for the phone to boot up?

1. yes the installation is successful
2.It takes the same amount of time as a HTC One usually takes however it hangs on the HTC one loading screen after the green HTC logo screen

I had hoped you would say something like __ minutes, because i don't know how long "same amount of time" actually is.
When I do a clean install of a 4.4 ROM, it takes close to 20 minutes for it to boot up properly, but when I just reboot the phone, it's done in less than 2 minutes.... so i don't know which one of those would be the "same amount of time".

when i boot up the phone it takes 30 seconds for it to go on the HTC one beats audio screen, then it hangs there. However I've never left it for more than 5 minutes as I have never experienced any phone taking that long to load. I'll leave it on this time for 30 minutes and see if that is any change

small recommendation: reflash the ROM first (including wipe), then let it boot up, if you check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
you'll see my personal opinion about bootup time (and other things)

This is very strange as ive used that guru-reset file myself, and its never taken much longer than 5 to 10 mins to boot, however, if its getting past the splash screen, then onto the boot screen, then its defiantly doing something, usually a boot loop is a phone stuck at the splash screen or a restart whilst booting.

it's been 20 minutes and it's still on the boot screen, so not sure what to do next. if this helps at all, I was tyring to download Android HD then i found out you needed S-Off, by then Android HD ruined my old rom so I used guru reset which worked. I then was going to do the S-Off procedure. This is when i went on TWRP and wiped all of my settings by mistake...still don't know how I did that. So i know it's not the file but my phone

Once you're past the bootsplash, it should be OK, but "5 minutes" has become a relative term.... It's usually the 4.4+ ROMs that take a lot longer to load than the previous ones, but I have seen someone post "I waited 10 minutes" and the two posts were 3 minutes apart (after he waited it worked fine)... so a little exaggeration about the close to 20 minutes is just trying to encourage a little patience

okay, that's too long, check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
iirc only GPE ROMs need S-Off, all the others should be fine; make sure you're using a recovery (and ROM) meant for m7_u / ul

This may sound crazy, but when you flash the guru reset file, and booting it, your phone needs to be unplugged from the computer, I only discovered this problem myself a few days ago, I couldn't figure out why it was stuck on the splash screen, pulled the usb cable and it fired straight up (try this first before below comment)
Download this one mate, it will work fine, again use twrp 2.6.3.3 I know there are newer versions on the TeamWin site, but this version is proven to be the most compatible with roms, this rom is stock looks and stock features, you should get S-OFF easily with it using rumrunner, and once your S-OFF, you can just use an RUU to get to fully stock if that's what you want.
again, download the zip and just push it to your sdcard and install

[Q] Seemingly strange soft brick happening to my phone

Hey guys, I've tried searching everywhere for info related to my situation, but couldn't find any...hopefully someone here will be able to help.
This all started earlier today, when I was using my phone (AT&T, m7, converted to GPE) as normal. I was at work, browsing Facebook or whatever, when suddenly I got a quick notification that Gapps had force closed. A few seconds after that, the phone suddenly restarted.
From there, I noticed the Google splash logo had a strange pixelated band across it, as shown in the attached photo.
Then it proceeded to bootloop.
After trying a couple basic things, none of them succeeded, and I decided to just wait until I got home, at which point I tried to enter recovery. It took me to the bootloader, which looked pretty weird, as it had a bunch of jumbled letters in the options, also shown in the attached photo.
From there, all I could get to was stock recovery. I tried flashing TWRP, but it wouldn't recognize ADB, and then I tried to flash using fastboot. Fastboot would accept the commands "./fastboot devices" (which recognized that my phone was connected) and "./fastboot getvar all." Any other command, including "./fastboot flash recovery" would give me the error "FAILED (remote: not allowed)".
I'm now at a loss. As you can see in the photos, my bootloader is unlocked, with S-OFF. I have no idea how to recover from this.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Oh, also, I'm on a Mac, with Yosemite.

Ouch, that doesn't look nice at all!!!
are you able to get to RUU mode? "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
if yes then you should flash a full ruu.zip to try and restore your messed up partitions (obviously this will wipe your phone)

yep, doesnt look nice at all in here :crying:
could be a hardware problem... i'll check in tomorrow, can't do this tonight sorry
PS: recommend you also try a different pc (mac, Win7, linux), with up to date adb/fastboot (and if needed [ie Win7] drivers), stay away from USB3 ports or any hubs.... seems hboot is corrupt, and only way to flash that is using ruu mode, or using a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM... even rooted ROM would do)

Great, I appreciate your help!
Yeah, looking like it could be a hardware issue, huh? That's what I was afraid of, especially since it seemed to happen randomly without me doing anything to directly cause it.
I'll try using a different mac tonight (no PCs around me I can borrow that I can think of).
If hboot is corrupted, but I can't do anything but access flashboot and I can't even flash from fastboot, it looks like I might be a little screwed?

yes, unfortunately, i'm inclined to believe it's a hardware fault (not of your doing!!)
there are only two ways i know of, of "messing"/"fixing" partitions (including hboot <only when s-off>), and those would be
1) ruu mode flash <- highly preferred
2) "dd" <-very bad, if you mistype a single character... boom
and yes,
3) given you current firmware, there may be a way to get somewhere even "worse" or "better" ....
but in all likelihood it's probably a hardware fault, nothing you did wrong

Okay, here's one little thing I hadn't thought of yet. As I said in my first post, I could get into the Stock Recovery (Android system recovery <3e> KOT49H.H1 release-keys). Also, a few weeks ago I finally bought a USB OTG cable.
Don't know why it took me this long to think about trying it, but I finally realized I should see if the stock recovery could detect a USB drive plugged into the OTG cable when "apply from an SD card" is selected. Of course, it could.
So! That seems like it might be a possible way to flash what I need to flash, correct? If so, what exactly should I try flashing? I'm worried that I'm in a really precarious spot here and I don't want to flash the wrong thing and lose the ability to use even stock android recovery.
Should I try reflashing the bootloader? TWRP? (if it screws up the TWRP flash will I lose stock recovery?) Something else?

[Q] HTC ONE (M7UL) imei problems + rebooting + s-on

Hi you all,
So to start things off i might say i tried alot of things to revive my htc one.
What happenend?
I wanted to give my htc one some new life so I thought lets factory reset it. All worked well but then the horror just began. My One began rebooting and rebooting itself over and over. So what i did next was enabled flight mode throught the power button and restarted the phone. So from then on it was running for about 30 seconds untill it starts rebooting again.
So what I did is unlock the phone and tried several Custom Roms. The only ones working are old cm11 roms, but I can not get S-Off to reflash the firmware because I am stuck with an eMMC 9001xxxxx... chip, so I guess bad luck for me.
So now my phone will not detect ANY SIM Card and will not show any imei number or baseband in the os. In the bootloader however they are still there, both of them.
RUU's will not work for me as I am S-ON and stuck on hboot 1.57
SunShine is not working either as my phone shuts down after aprox. 30 seconds on sense rom.
Firewater is not working either as it has an 9001.... eMMC chip.
my getvar stats:
PHP:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.57.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.21.3263.04

So my question is are there still any suggestions for me, that I didn't do or just overlooked?
So I would appreciate anything, before tearing it apart..

Firewater is not working either as it has an 9001.... eMMC chip.
my getvar stats:
PHP:

So my question is are there still any suggestions for me, that I didn't do or just overlooked?
So I would appreciate anything, before tearing it apart..
Cheers

You don't need s-off to flash firmware. You only need s-off to downgrade or to use custom firmware. You will however need to relock your bootloader. Although I should tell you Unknown imei & Baseband often turns out to be a hardware problem.
You can flash this firmware with a relocked bootloader. You will need to 're flash custom recovery and Rom to boot the phone afterwards. Unless you flash a stock Rom first, Stock Rom can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-4-4-3-sense-6-6-09-401-5-100-stock-t2854300
Firmware download
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/6.09.401.10.zip
Download it and put it in your fastboot folder and rename it firmware.zip.
Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
--- case sensitive. ---^^^
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it 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 completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Ok cheers m8!
I am gonna try it right now. Yeah I heard about the hardware problem, but I was thinking mine might be not because it happened after a factory reset (done in the os itself). I once was able to bring back baseband and imei but I just can't remember what exactely I did.
So I am going to report back as soon as I tried. I am wondering.
Btw you know what hardware defect actually would cause it (just wondering)
Thx!

With your phone s-on and on the latest firmware there's not much else you can do but flash the firmware package I linked. If you can get s-off you can try an ruu.
From a hardware perspective It's the antenna connector pin that causes the issue as far as I'm aware. I only know of one that was repaired without returning to HTC and the antenna connector pin was the cause. Replacing it solved the problem.

So I did everything and it worked. But only for 5-10 minutes and then it startet rebooting again and again. So I guess this is a hardware problem too and as I don't have any warranty or something there my m7ul goes...
Thx for your help anyways!

usb debugging has nothing to do with the bootloader, adb or fastboot, it is only required to be on when you want to mod something or control your phone using adb commands inside a booted rom, as you cant boot, then that's not an option.
if your bootloader is locked and you have warranty, send it back, because if you unlock your bootloader then your warranty will be void and you'll have to pay for repairs.

Hi there & thnx for your concern,
The warranty is not an option , cause I bought it in another country and have no service support here.
For the usb debugging mode , as far as I know , it needs to be "on" so the smartphone can be connected to adb.
I looked on the net how to turn it on without having access to android I got some command but I need an android command-line shell to make it work , wich is not an option right now.
I'm all open for suggestions.

Is there a way to get out of fastboot and try load the android again ?
I tried turn power down but it opens fastboot automaticly,
I tried
Code:
fastboot reboot
same result as above .

only thing you can do is unlock your bootloader, try again, get a new unlock token from HTC Dev.
by the way, adb commands are only for in a rom or in recovery, use fastboot commands only in the bootloader, if you cant unlock the bootloader then theres not a lot you can do.
could you post your fastboot getvar all please, remove imei and serial number information before posting, maybe there is an RUU we can run.

bootloader needs to be locked / relocked to flash the RUU or firmware as your s-on.
"fastboot oem lock" is the command without quotes.

Hi there, I did it already , it says device already locked.

soz about that, just realised, had a read back through the whole thread to catch up, right, 171 is a USB connection error, so when your phone is in the bootloader, plugged into the computer with fastboot usb showing, have a look in device manager and make sure your computer can see your phone and that you dont have anything like "One" with a yellow exclamation mark.
sounds like a driver problem to me, but are you using the original HTC cable too ?

Yeah , well I tried like 4 drivers already , fastboot usb is indeed showing, and the RUU does restart the device , but when waiting for bootloader nothing shows =/
Tried with different pc too with different compatiblities.
Only thing left to try is another cable.
Thnx for following up

what I meant was when fastboot usb is showing, have a look in windows device manager and make sure it see's your phone, should say MyHTC.
only drivers you need which have never let me down, even on Windows 10 is HTC sync manager, just download and install the latest version from the HTC site, I would uninstall all current phone drivers first, then run a cleaner like CCleaner to remove old files, reboot computer then install HTC sync manager, after the install, un-install HTC sync, just leaving HTC driver package above it alone.
make sure your phone is unplugged when doing the above, leave your phone in the bootloader, and when you have finished the last step of un-installing HTC sync, then plug your phone into the computer and let it load the fastboot driver, thats the main one you need right now.

Hi again , So I tried everything above and nothing , took the device to a guy who's good in repairing and flashing devices and couldn't flash it neither.
for a radical solution , should I change the whole mainboard or there is a specific part ?

It's a 2 year old phone, it's really only worth fixing if you already have the parts for free.
This phone sells for $149 New in the US, and even cheaper used on eBay.

Thanks for the advice , but more objectively Motherboard or a specific part ?
Parts here are pretty cheap compared. And I can't afford a new one actually.

SD_HW_ERROR = probably a defective emmc. You can't replace the emmc chip, its soldered directly on the Motherboard so you will indeed need to replace the motherboard but like clsA said it really doesnt worth it. You can get a new M7 for 150$. HTC sells their Motherboard around 100$ + you'll probably need to replace the body like many users who tried to open the phone themselves (very fragile around the volume rockers). Even if I love my M7, I wouldn't spent 100$ to replace the MB.
And buying a used motherboard is not a good idea. You don't know if its working good + you don't know if the IMEI is blacklisted.

Thanks for the explanation alray, I excpected the fail in the emmc too cause read_mmc emmc didn't work.
Anway I don't live in the us . Here though, a new one cost roughly 300 $ and the motherboard is about 80$ or less.
Thanks again

Soft brick (i think?) help please :(

Sorry i know this has been done a million times before but i cant seem to find anything that helps in my particular situation already. ill explain a bit what happened first exactly, my phone recently crapped itself and i sent it to the carrier for repair, they gave me a refurbished one that is faulty (gets really hot after about 20 min of use and restarts itself). anyways after a big headache of trying to send it back which is not really important here, i gave up and decided since i dont care enough about this phone to pay to fix it i can try and root it and hopefully install a rom that might keep the cpu cool and not reset so often (not sure if possible but it seemed harmless to try). anyways i unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM and not sure why but when i restarted the phone itll start up fine as if the first tiem you ever use the phone but you couldnt do anything after the set up. it just links to some site and you cant move at all or click anything its stuck. so i thought id install a ROM and hopefully fix it (decided on Maximus HD) im pretty sure i downloaded from here too so hopefully legit and now i cant even get into the menu at all. it gets stuck on the HTC boot logo unless i get into the bootloader which i still thankfully can and also into recovery. anyways i flashed TWRP just now in the hopes i can get an option in that to fix it that CWM doesnt have but still cant find anything and lot of the stuff i tried picking said "unable to flash s:" or somethng like that. same thing since isntalling TWRP though if i try restarting phone just to get into menu it hangs on the HTC logo screen i can only get into bootloader/recovery mode. what can i do? I still have s-on if thats relevant (probably that was the problem to begin with?)

s-on is nothing to do with it, as long as your bootloader is unlocked, that's enough to flash custom roms.
TWRP is required to flash custom sense based roms, which version of TWRP depend on which rom you are trying to flash, so Lollipop based sense roms require TWRP 2.8.6.0, whereas the later ones require TWRP 2.6.3.3
after flash recovery, be sure to erase the cache and reboot the bootloader before trying to enter recovery, this clears anything that the previous recovery may of left behind, reboot bootloader is basically for changes to take effect, so your commands should look like this:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
when you enter recovery, personally in your situation, I would go into wipe, and select the format data button, this will wipe everything off your phone including the internal storage, so be sure to backup anything you need first, you can do this with the adb pull /sdcard/0 command from the recovery main screen. once the format is complete, reboot back into recovery again, and adb push or copy a rom to your internal storage, be sure to unplug your phone now and then flash it, also be sure to select full wipe during the installation.
you can only really use lollipop based custom roms if you are on lollipop firmware, people on lower firmware are reporting problems like no wifi, Bluetooth etc, so it would be helpful if you post your fastboot getvar all without your imei and serial number.

First step go into TWRP / Wipe / Advanced / Format Data ... type yes
when it's done go to Reboot / Recovery
now download and install this Rom >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602541
during install choose Wipe system
the phone will take almost 10 min to boot ..wait on it and be patient

I'm trying to copy the zip file onto the phone but even though the computer reads it it says "cannot copy device has either stopped working or been removed".

Spoke a bit too soon used it for a bit now it still resets I guess that's a hardware problem for sure now though and not much I can do about it unless I take it to a pro.
