Hey guys,
I can't seem to get back root after a softbrick, also i had my bootloader unlocked but the unlock seems to be gone?
Okay how it all started was when I tried to flash the 4.2.2 leak in CWM. I flashed it and everything seemed normal then when I left CWM for a reboot, nothing happened. the screen was black and the phone would vibrate when pressing the power button.
Being the newbie that I am I panicked and found a stock .253 ftf file which i flashed. the phone is now working again.
Now seeing as I don't give up that easily I figured i'd try to install 4.2.2 again but something has changed now seeing as I seem to have:
No recovery A proper recovery has been installed.
No root Root has been reclaimed
No unlocked BL? Bootloader is unlocked again
I can't root using flashtool as it wont get past - Waiting for uevent_helper rw
I've looked at alot of places on the forum but I don't know where to start really and I'm scared of a hardbrick now.
Can anyone help me out? :angel:
So it has been solved turns out it was indeed pretty simple.
the way I did it was:
Bootloader:
open flashtool, unlock bootloader again. (the code will appear)
Root
(as I was on .253 I had to flash .307 kernel & system via fastboot first)
I then followed the "easy rooting toolkit by doomlord" mentioned in this topic
CWM
I then flashed doomkernel v8 to regain CWM. (fastboot the boot.img)
Thanks for the help michealtbh :victory:
Unlock your bootloader again

Bootloader is unlocked again, still no root via the service menu display option though.
Use fastboot to flash doomkernel, then boot into recovery and flash a superuser.zip
Or try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472
HELP!

SOLVED - check post 35
..and I don't know how to solve it. So, I would really need and appreciate your help!
Device:
m7ul s-off, currently unlocked, running cm 10.1 nightly
The problem:
I experienced reboots and fc's on various aosp roms as pa, cm and pac. cm is running best so far, on pa i lost data connection from time to time.
I tryed everything. I flashed sense roms, I flashed stock, I did a nandroid restore of stock ruu, relocked my bootloader, flashed stock recovery and everything possible to fix my device.
If I was lucky, it booted, but it shut down after a few seconds and kept bootlooping.
I can't get it back to stock and that really worries me. I did everything as explained but nothing worked.
Now to what I did with my device:
unlocked, flashed cwm, perm root
flashed cm, but coming from the nexus4 i was looking forward for pa rom
flashed a pa dev build, which was made for m7tmo. this might be the point where my troubles started. build was a bit buggy so
flashed trickdroid 6.0.0, flashed some tweaks and had major issues as no status bar and frequent reboots
went back to cm and from then on I just flashed pa or cm roms (gave pac a try but had even more issues)
everything else is already explained (the problem).
If there is any further information I have to provide you, just tell me. I don't really know much about logcat, but I could upload a log if that would help. All I see is hundreds of errors with QC-DS-LIB, LocSvc, kickstart and others..
I spent days on trying to fix my phone. I'm also afraid of bricking it with all the **** I try... Maybe someone here can help me find a solution. Please
Do you have the appropriate radio for your ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245615
That might be the root of all evil...
I did flash 1.29.401.12 WWE OTA - 4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L while running the stable pa rom. currently I'm on 4A.13.3221.27_10.31.1131.05L (I guess stock?)
edit: it's from RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe
I am not sure but all the stuff you did it is likely that something got messed up.
Which recovery do you use? Please flash that again with
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (*recovery.img = the exact name of the recovery as it is in your platform-tools folder) followed by
fastboot erase cache
Use only the USB cable that came with the One, and don't use a USB 3.0 under Windows 8. Maybe try a different computer as well.
Flash a Sense ROM that is close to stock, and a matching radio based.
Before flashing a ROM.zip, wipe cache/factory reset and dalvik cache within the recovery first.
Hope you get it all sorted

Did exactly what you said, phone got stuck on boot (with beatsaudio) for over 10 mins (this actually happened every time i tried flashing arhd). rebooted, was able to do a first setup after 3 mins. downloaded catlog, havent had the errors mentioned above so far. running smooth for now. will post again if some crazy **** happens.
Thanks!
And again, after installing some apps I got reboots. The only difference to aosp is, that I have to do a reboot by holding the home button, hence this rom gets stuck on the bootlogo. The aosp roms rebootet after 15 secs.

Download the RUU for your device. boot to fastboot and relock bootloader, then install ruu.exe from PC. That will fix you up. Nandroid restore of stock ruu is different. The ruu will replace all partitions.. U have something wrong somewhere that roms dont touch i bet. The ruu should do it. If s-off and supercid you dont even need your exact ruu. Any ruu will do.

I have actually tried that. I also think it does not depend on the rom I use. Since I can't remember wether I relocked my bootloader before trying the ruu.exe I will try again.
I was also thinking about flashing boot.img but i'm afraid of bricking.

Just do the ruu again, it should fix you up. Boot.img is no big deal, it gets flashed with all roms. If ruu doesnt work please let us know if it successfully installed or not. If it will be like first time you powered it on (minus the s-off, that will stay) if it installed correctly. It will install correct radio and boot.img.
Have you changed your MID? i think you should just installl the latest ruu for your CID and MID.
Also have you installed different hboot? like the modded one or the eng hboot? If so have you flashed the original back? The RUU will install the correct hboot.
Sorry top say but If completed ruu doesnt fix it, its broke. Nothing software can do.

If you wish you can unlock again, install custom recovery and then side load a rom. I'm afraid HTC will just have you try the ruu again. Or tell you it's broke.
How long did the ruu install take? Did it restart phone a few times? If it was me, I'd unlock again and install a custom rom. If that doesn't work I don't know what else to try..tried everything. Most likely Something wrong with the hardware

I don't think so, my pc does not recognize my phone because usb debugging is not enabled.. any solution?
in stock recovery it says MounT SDCARD failed, so I will try fixing that by performing a few factory resets lol

When in fastboot it doesn't matter if debugging is enabled. It must say fastboot USB . If not select fastboot and press power
What hboot do you have now? Since you r s off I don't know if boot loader needs to be unlocked. If you can get to fastboot and be seen by pc,download twrp recovery and put it in your adb folder. Then "fastboot flash recovery filename.img" then u can side load.

Well I've been through this (ruu>stuck on boot>unlock>flash cwm>sideload rom) twice.
The problems are still reboots from time to time and app shut downs or fcs. It happens with every rom i tryed. on sense roms its stuck on bootscreen until i reboot with power button, on aosp it just reboots within 15 secs
I'll have to admit, I did the ruu on win8 with usb 3.0
When does it reboot? Sometimes upon installing apps, accessing play store, on landscape mode, on unlocking sim. Much to often to just live with it..
just sideloaded cm10.1, it's alive..
Hello all,
To make a long story short: my phone is stuck his bootloader after it wiped my internal storage (i dont know what exactly happened but it happened).
The last 5 hours straight i tried to fix it throught adb sideload but ended up that i only have acces to my bootloader now.. it doesnt enter the recovery annymore, i tried to flash other recoverys (twrp and cwm) but its stuck on bootloader now.
Im despirate now, tried to solve it myself without disturbing others with it but im kinda lost now. My phone is s-on and i am hoping that somebody can help this despirate man out!
EDIT: I just noticed that my bootloader says that my phone is relocked now?
EDIT2: This is the last thing i tried (see attachment), i dont think it worked
Your phone is relocked?
Ok, you've to unlock this, flash a recovery do an erase cache and after sideload/push a rom into your sd and flash this...

Hey everyone,
so I have an issue, I hate taking care of other peoples devices, but my dad asked me to root his Optimus 4x for him, so I did.. or at least I gave it a try.
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and tried to instal a custom recovery, with no success.
the OS the device had is 4.1.2 JB, and I tried to flash the ICS recovery, which caused a permanent bootloop.
luckily (I guess?) I can access the recovery (which is STOCK for some odd reason) but the device never boots back up when I restart it. I tried to wipe everything that the stock recovery allows me to, no success either. I tried to use the LG tool, I put the IMEI and hoped for the best - nope, it didnt help either. it kept on saying the device has disconnected.
SO I figured the way to go would be an adb flash of the right recovery and then flashing a custom ROM, but I cant push the recovery image to the sdcard, it says there's no such directory. this is the command I used:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
I tried various combinations and at this point I'm kinda lost and confused. Perhaps some more-experienced people could give me a hand? I've spent 6 hours figuring this out
EDIT:
the only way of turning the device off is pulling the battery, I can use adb, and I tried to flash the wrong recovery accidently.
thanks

try to flash stock rom using KDZ method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723), that lets your device like new, and then try to start again, I recommend you to use lg p880 toolkit look into download section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934), and you can download CWM 6.0.4.5 and replace the recovery in files folder of p880 toolkit and get the latest recovery that allows you to instal the most recent ROM

No. As stated in the first post, I did in fact unlock the bootloader. I also confirmed it in the secret menu and it said "Unlock" which as I presume means the bootloader is unlocked.

I'm sorry i missed the first line, what got me was when you said you flashed recovery but it was still the same
The adb command to flash recovery is
1) adb reboot oem-unlock
2) fastboot flash recovery /path/toyour/recovery.img (not adb because you must use fastboot when in bootloader)

hey, thanks for your reply.
I assume the /path/toyour/recovery.img is a path on the phone, the thing is I cant copy it to the internal storage with adb for some odd, unknown reason (well the reason is the directory doesnt exist). I'll try to return to stock first, and I'll post the result.
thank you again
EDIT:
SOOO I managed to fix it and get it all to work the device boots up normally again thank you VERY much for all your kind help. I love you guys!!

Try re download the zip (or try an other rom)maybe you just got an false download. i also had some trouble with my m7 back in the day.
But in your case now you are stuck with no os or bootloop, i give you as advice to follow an soft unbrick method it worked for me, or if you have an usb otg cable and usb or and usb otg thumbstick, put the rom on that usb and connect it to your phone and then try to flash it (if your using twrp you have an option to choose from wich storage you want to use)
Also a piece of advice, when flashing roms, kernels etc please have your phone charged above 50% (just in case).

Can you please post the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
please remove your imei and serial number.
Depending on which variant of the M7 you have you probably just need a different version of recovery to install a CM rom. I think they prefer TWRP 2.7.x.x. Post the getvar and we can see what you have. then I can give you a better informed instruction. :good:
P.s also check the md5 of the rom zip you downloaded. Use this tool www.winmd5.com the correct md5 should be listed with the link you downloaded the rom from
failed to mount /dev/block/blah blah blah = needs "block:by-name" support which twrp 2.6.3.3 doesn't have
everything explained here
So update your recovery
and do what danny said above so he can confirm you have the right rom/recovery for your device.

Your getvar looks fine this rom should work fine with your device. Download this version of TWRP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358561860 (2.7.1.2). dropthe file in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once thats done reflash the rom with the new version of TWRP. It should flash just fine :good:
iv managed to flash cm12.1 now, thanks guys, is there anyway i could get the HTC software back on.

There are a number of ways to return to stock software. You can simply flash a stock rom through twrp or use a stock nandroid. look for rom that match your version main. 7.19.401.22
I think there is even an lollipop 7.19.401.22 RUU for your device but I'm not sure if it will work with s-on though because it's a zip but it certainly wouldnt hurt to try it though. You will need to relock your bootloader and flash it with fastboot.
I'll edit this post with links when I find them unless some one beats me to it
Hey Dan do you think we could skype and you could talk me through it, it would be much easier?

Sorry I am at work so availability is scetchy. I found the ruu but it's for the older 7.19.401.2 lollipop, this won't work for you because your s-on. Downgrading firmware is only possible with s-off.
You can use this stock rom though http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-100-pure-stock-5-0-2-7-19-401-2-t3044041 just flash it with twrp. The thread recommends TWRP 2.8.5.X no need to relock the bootloader or anything silly, just flash it like any other rom :good:
You'll notice that this rom is also for the older 7.19.401.2 so you will need to install the last OTA update to bring your rom in line with your firmware. Flash this recovery with the same method as twrp. (Stock recovery required for installing the OTA) http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/Recovery/STOCK/7.19.401.2_recovery.img/download reboot then just go to Settings>About>Check for updates.

Okay try this. Download the OTA but select the option "Install Later" connect your m7 to your pc and browse your storage. In the download folder on your phone you should find the OTA in zip format. Copy it to your pc.
Now open the OTA zip on your pc. Inside you'll find another zip called "firmware.zip" extract it then open it. Inside you'll find a recovery.img. extract the recovery file and flash it with fastboot. Now reboot to android and continue to install the OTA. :fingers-crossed:

Yes you will need to unlock the bootloader to flash the recovery, Dont forget to fastboot erase cache after flashing the recovery that is cruicial. You don't need to be relocked to install the OTA though.
When you select install now, the device should reboot to the Stock Recovery. At first the screen will just be black for a short while. Then you'll see an image of a phone with a Green ring and download arrow. If you hold Volume up and press the power button you will see the Stock Recovery and its progress in installing the OTA.
I'm not sure why your device was hanging on boot after installing the OTA. Maybe a bad recovery.img. that's why I say to get the recovery from the OTA file.
its still not working so i mite just install twrp and restore to cm12.1

Your still stuck with this? Try starting the process over, but do not relock your bootloader at any point.
Wipe system data and cache partitions with TWRP Advanced wipe
Flash the Rom with twrp as a clean install.
Reboot and download the OTA. Choose install later, then copy the OTA to your pc. Extract the Stock Recovery and flash it with fastboot. Reboot and install the OTA.
But do not relock your boot loader. Because when you unlock the bootloader, it wipes the device including the data/preload folder. If the preload folder is not intact the OTA will fail
