I bought an unlocked htc one m7 that workd with my carrier.
I then go home to find out the google play store wont open no matter the steps i tried to get it to work.
Clearing the cache, restarting ect. Accessing android file transfer. Nothing worked.
I called htc and they told me to call google. google told me to do a hard reset. When i did that. i went into twrp mode, which is when i realized the phone was rooted. I then did a complete whipe of absolutely everything. Wrong move on my part.
I should have done factory reset within the normal bootloader screen itself. However i did, and i deleted the OS accidentally and the phone doent say its rooted anymore. When i do a restart twrp asks me if i want to root my phone as it is not rooted and i think teh SuperSU has been removed as well. However, on the normal bootloader options screen from holding teh power button and the volume down button it still says unlocked and tampered on the top.
Anyways, my question is. I am trying to either flash a stock jelly bean rom (my preferred software) onto the phone, or just lock teh bootloader and flash the RUU.
My phone connects to my pc and says fastboot usb. My computer doesnt recognize it through htc sync manager ect. But it says that.
What do i need to use ADB sideload on my mac?
Do i have to install ADP and SDK tools on my mac? How do i use teh terminal commands, what is the process?
Should i just relock the bootloader adn install the RUU?
Can i instal a previous verson such as the 4.3 jellybean original software for the htc one m7 through a stock RUU?
Will installing the RUU give me the latest version of OS for the m7? Cause i want jellybean.
Please answer each of these questions with as much info as you are willing to give. That would be greatly appreciated.
Will post pictures if requested as i have another htc one m7 i can take pictures with, i am first time posting so not sure how.

Hi, I have a rooted HTC One running the Google Play Edition ROM (first rooted device) but I stupidly hit the 4.3 OTA update when I got the notification. Apparently this is a big no-no, but I didn't know any better and now my phone can't get past HTC's splash screen. I can still enter bootloader and recovery (CWM 6.0.3.2) but that's about it.
I don't have a ROM on the internal memory, so can't just revert to the previous 4.2.2 and because I can't enter the phone's settings to turn on USB Debugging. The phone does not show up in Windows Explorer, nor in 'adb devices' when I do the usual thing on Command Prompt. The phone shows up in Device Manager under Android USB Devices as 'My HTC' but again, no device will appear in Command Prompt, otherwise I'd adb push a new ROM onto the phone.
I've tried clearing cache, dalvik and so on with zero luck. It's causing me all sorts of grief and I've been pulling out my hair since yesterday. I've heard that an OTG micro-USB cable might help by loading a ROM onto a flash card, but I'm looking at a few days delivery (at least) and would like to get this problem sorted ASAP. If you can help, I'll name my firstborn after you.

I think an RUU for your carrier will do the trick. There are a lot of RUU's posted in the HTC One forums in the various sections, search and find the one for your phone/carrier. Pretty sure that will do the trick!

Hi, I've read up on this option but apparently it unroots my phone and basically returns it to factory settings. This will be my last choice. Thankfully all my photos from a recent trip have been backed up to Dropbox/Drive, but I'd need to root again and jump through all the hoops. I simply want a way to get a new ROM onto the phone to flash it, but neither of my computers are recognising the phone in recovery, with USB debugging off.

Dude, have you a phone that won't get past the splash screen, and you're worried about losing data? If you could get a computer to see the phone, you could push a rom to it in ADB and then sideload it in recovery. If you can't, I think you're left with an RUU I'm afraid.

You can just root/unlock/s-off it after, you've come this far already so you should be familiar with the short process

Cheers for the info guys. I think I'll wait till Monday to buy an OTG cable, fingers crossed this will work. In hindsight, I should have kept some ROM on the phone memory or left debugging on. At least now I'll know not to do an OTA update on a rooted phone.
i have a sprint htc one.
i unlocked the bootloader via htcdev site.
then flashed latest twrp (v2.6.3.0, clockwork wouldn't flash)
flashed latest supersu.
then obtained s-off through xda (hboot 1.55 before then 1.44 after. maybe did something wrong?)
having issues with "no sim card - 4g lte will not work as sim/uicc is removed. please insert sprint sim/uicc into the device"
tried to relock it so i cant take it in to get that fixed.
did the adb oem lock thing to obtain 'tampered' 'relocked'
tried to flash RUU 1.something.7 and 1.something.10
the RUU 1.something.10 wouldn't even try to go
then the RUU 1.something.7 (also it said current image was 3.something but i couldn't find a RUU for 3.something) tried and failed in the middle
since that failure my phone isn't recognized while in fastboot, but works to access all the files on it
so i'm stuck on s-off hboot 1.44 'tampered' 'relocked' but my supersu seems to still function ok (titanium backup works) and i can still boot into recovery twrp.
my short term goal is to get back to 100% stock to get my simcard issue resolved through sprint or htc or whatever, i don't know what that's about.
my long term goal is to have my 4g working/simcard thing fixed running a custom rom. ie cyanogenmod or something 4.4 kitkat.
any help would be awesome, thank you guys!
Just an FYI, 100% stock is not needed to have Sprint look at it. You can have an unlocked/tampered bootloader and custom recovery and still be within Sprint's S&R policy for warranty issues. However, your ROM must be stock (can still be rooted) so that the technicians are not faced with issues potentially related to poor/incompatible ROM development and code. Essentially, the Sprint tech will want to do a hard reset on the device, and it will need to appear to be stock after the reset so that they can rule out the software causing the issue. If they give you any hassle about the root, tell them to check their M&Ps.
Grab a Stock Rooted ROM and try to flash in recovery, see if that works.
sorry, guess i left out that i been to sprint once for this already, and they said they fixed it yet it came back only 2 days later. but in between those 2 days is when i did all the rooting supersu and s-off cause i thought i was done with them for now. i thought that since the problem was persisting that they might have to check with or send to htc and then they would see it unlocked and rooted etc.
anyway, i haven't actually flashed any roms yet so i should still be stock + rooted. but i'll do as you suggested.
thank you!
Are you on Windows 8 or 8.1?
I'm running windows 8.1. i've been able to work on the phone with windows 8.1 until just recently with the problem i described. also i just flashed a stock rooted rom for 3.04.651.2 (first link in second post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467607 )
my phone is near dead so i'm charging now before i try testing fastboot again.
also, was there a known issue using windows 8.1? when my phone stopped responding in fastboot i noticed that i couldn't get the htc sync thing to open anymore either. but ican still access data on phone from pc normally.
edit: still getting devices not recognized when i plug my phone in while in fastboot =\
When running and RUU from 3.04 to an older version you will have issues right now with fastboot after the RUU reboots the device into RUU mode. If you go from 3.04 to 3.04 then you will have no issues whatsoever, trust me. I have had the same issues but fixed them by thanking the people who hooked us up with the 3.04 RUU link.

Also, one more thing. In order for you to get fastboot working again you just need to uninstall forms of anything HTC as far as drivers and sync. No need to reinstall fastboot and adb add-ons from SDK though. Once you do this you will be golden but dont forget to unplug your device. . . at the same time people dont think to also go into Device Manager and select "View" and enable "Show hidden devices" and this will show you all of the drivers that have been installed even if they are unplugged so look at all of the categories that any HTC One drivers can be installed in to ensure you havent forgotten any of them and then start over by reinstalling the HTC Drivers all over again.

that's all i'll need to do? that'd be great! i'll try that now. also, thank you for telling me how to find the drivers, i have done that for something before, but completing forgot how i got to that. Thank you! i'm deleting away right now!
edit: well i went ahead and deleted all the htc stuff off my pc and then went to the htc site to download the latest htc sync. but i got an error when trying to install it.. "1152: error extracting to the temporary location" i ran it as admin and i have like 700bg of free space.. wth? =\
edit: went and plugged the phone in and let the drivers auto detect/install that way. tried fastboot and still isn't being recognized...
There are compatibility issues between HTC Sync and Windows 8.1 from what I have read, though I am not sure that the issue you are having falls into this category. Do you have another PC available to try this on?
no other pc available that doesn't have windows 8.1
i followed some instructions to use adb with ubuntu (partitioned and install ubuntu along side win8.1 specifically for my phone) followed instructions and either i don't know what i'm doing because i don't know a thing about linux anything or it isn't being recognized that way either. =\
Hi,
I have unlocked my HTC one using HTC dev tool. Rooted with Hboot. However, i had a problem while doing s-off. I followed the procedure from one youtube channel and it was very thorough and understandable for an amateur user like me. However, my one big mistake is that I assume the procedure works perfectly and hence, i continued with flashing a Google Edition Rom. What makes it worse is that , i didn't back up the storage. Then, this 'BootLoop' problem happens.I have tried some tools that push the Rom from PC to the phone. It doesn't work.
Now, I'm using HTC one tool kit by Squabbi to solve the problem.
But, my the adb devices is missing from PC device manager.
Somebody please be kind to save me and my HTC One.
Thanks a million times
First of all, don't use a toolkit. Go into the bootloader then select fastboot. Then on your computer, open up cmd and type "fastboot devices". If that works, just post here again and I'll try to help.
If that doesn't work, you either don't have the proper drivers, or something else is wrong. The last resort would be to flash the RUU for your model. That almost always works, but will wipe everything.
EDIT: The reason why it says adb device not found is that the phone needs to boot in order to use usb debugging. If it doesn't boot, then it will never work. So do what I said above and let me know the result.
I'm trying to factory reset my HTC Desire C has it was feely slow, but I'm having trouble un-rooting the phone, Does anyone know of any way I could do this with my model please?
I've tried Quick Root but that just seems to get stuck removing the perm-root.
Thanks in advance.
I've attached the info of my phone, thank you.

You can do this: - lock bootloader
- power on device
- enable adb debugging on device
- make sure you have adb and fasboot working corectly
- connect device via usb to PC
- run RUU with administrator rights
- and from there on just follow the instructions given by software

you really need the 2-4 lines i mentioned up for this to work
Well I managed to lock my bootloader and that, but when i tried to install the RUU it gave me a error. I think it might be an older version.
I think I'm going to need the 2.00.771.3 version :S
I think my phone is useless now. A bit of info, I tried factory resetting my phone (I have rooted my phone prior to this and stupidly thought that factory reset would get rid of the root) but when I reset my phone after the inital setup had gone through all menus it said setup has stopped working. Then my phone wouldn't work no apps or home screen, I could recieve calls and then go onto my settings at the top but nothing more then that, I'm not sure how I can get my phone working again now lol

Yo I tried running the rom but it doesn't work. I'm using the correct version and everything but when I run the installer it just closes. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. It's completely gone.

Mines closed out to until I figured you have to make sure your boot loader says relocked or locked or else it cant run the installer. When you boot on boot loader screen make sure it's locked once it's locked RE run it again and it will run install stock rom.

Ok so my HTC Desire 626s is "relocked" right now and I'm on the bootloader menu (the white one). I open up the install wizard which is the correct one and it brings up the license and all that. I click "I accept", then hit Next. It just closes out.

It maybe a program problem delete it and re-download it because if you don't get to the part where it says install image rom. It's a program problem it might have downloaded incorrectly re-download it and make sure where you downloaded it is the official ruu program and not some random website.
