M7 soft brick recovery - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My phone recently soft bricked itself while I was attempting to check a message. The system locked up, then went into a reboot where it hung on the HTC logo. The usual steps of trying a factory reset did not seem to fix the logo hang. The phone was never modified, it was running only stock firmware with S-ON and the boot loader locked. As this is my first attempt at recovering from a soft brick, the learning curve has been steep. At this point I am somewhat stuck as I don't understand why I cannot flash the stock RUU that i have. What I have done:
-unlocked boot loader (1.61.000)
-flashed to TWRP for recovery (3.0.2.0)
-Attempted to use ADB sideload to push RUU files. This failed because ADB only sees the device every few attempts and then sideload commands fail saying "error: closed"
-Attempted to flash RUU as per this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
*The RUU that I am trying to flash is the 7.19.401.51 signed version
Here is a getvar readout from my phone:

I am really confused as to how it soft bricked itself in the first place during normal use and if I am doing something incorrect in flashing it.

I dont see a reason why it fails but i dont know much about using ruu files. But if you have unlocked your phone and twrp is working you should be able to just restore a Stock twrp backup. You can find them here in the m7 forum, download the one that is matching your device, restart your device into twrp connect it to your computer and copy the twrp backup from your computer into your twrp backup folder on the phone, go in twrp to restore and you should see the backup, select it and slide to start.

All fixed
So I actually managed to fix it last night using the RUU file. I didn't realize that I had to re-lock my boot loader for a signed RUU file to work properly. Once I ran the "fastboot oem lock" command, the file installed normally by running "fastboot oem bootRUU" and then flashing it with "fastboot flash RUU.zip"
I wasn't able to even move files with twrp loaded, my device showed up as an MTP device on my computer, but any file movements gave an error that the device stopped responding.

Did you md5 checked both your recovery and your rom before flashing?
Btw, you need a locked or relocked bootloader to flash a ruu with S-ON... Thats why you got the signature fail.

Didn't do md5 check, but twrp 2.6.3.3 comes up as expected, and AD-53 installs as expected.
The bootloader was relocked for the RUU zip install.. I thought I read somewhere that it was because there is no OS present, or something.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot once it finishes downloading. I was coming to the same conclusion but was stuck on trying to figure out why sideloading wasn't working. I guess the firmware is corrupt or some such? First time messing with an HTC and the world of RUUs
Will report back..

Modern TWRP Backup for CID: TELUS001

Hi everyone,
I have come across a friend's phone which is stuck in a bootloop since the battery died during an update. I am unable to run the Telus RUU (the only one I can find, from the collection thread, and it's very old). The RUU fails and I can not flash the zip from it manually using fastboot either. I can restore the TWRP backup from the collection but then the touch screen doesn't work (the backup must be much older).
So I am hoping someone on here has or can make me a TWRP backup of their latest stock HTC/Telus setup?
I am also going to see if I can get S-OFF and SuperCID so that I can try other RUUs. Thought that finding a backup would be a lot simpler/safer, though.

Thanks!
There is a 7.17.661.7 RUU for Telus here. To use this RUU, the phone firmware must be at least 6.xx.661.x and not newer than 7.17.661.7. Read instructions how to flash the RUU in the OP (you must use htc_fastboot to flash it, not the normal fastboot). Post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove imei and serialno) if you need more help.
Thanks! I don't have the phone near me at the moment to get the vars however I do know that fw is 5.xx.661.x range
I've added the getvar output. Since it's not my phone I am trying to avoid S-OFF using Sunshine. Didn't think it would be so difficult to find an RUU or TRWP backup
Try the 7.17.661.7 ruu, it might work since the phone is already on hboot 1.57. Otherwise you'll need s-off to either update your firmware and flash this ruu or downgrade your hboot and flash the 4.19.661.8 ruu.
I might be able to provide you a nandroid backup of 5.11.661.8 if I have some spare time. I will need to flash the the 4.19.661.8 ruu on my phone, update it to 5.11.661.8 so I can make a backup and upload it for you. But I won't have the time to do it this week...
Thanks I'll give it a shot. I was hesitant since I heard that jumping more than 1 firmware version could be bad.. but I'll see what happens and let you know.
This firmware thing does not apply to ruu, only apply to firmware update extracted from ota updates . In the worst case, the pre check will fail and nothing will be flashed on the phone
I finally had a chance to try this out and the 7.17.661.7 RUU fails to flash. Guess I'll have to S-OFF.

Signature Verify Failed? So you are trying to flash a rom using fastboot if I understand correctly? A rom must be flashed using a custom recovery. Only RUU/Firmware are flashed using fastboot. If you flash a ruu, it must be done using fastboot (in ruu mode) with a locked bootloader (because your phone is s-on). If flashing a rom, like the stock reset rom, it mus tbe done from twrp recovery with an unlocked bootloader.

Go in twrp recovery, select the "wipe" menu then select "Format Data" and type "Yes" to confirm. Once formatted, reboot twrp then push the reset rom to your phone storage, select "install" and flash the reset rom.

How to restore to Stock Sense (6) with S-ON?

I have used the Guru reset from HTC 1 Guru to reset my HTC One M7 on Three (Hutchinson 3G) UK with version 7.19.771.1.
Like some others I have had the problem of a boot loop when getting the Android 4.3 OTA after 2 minor updates which worked fine.
I have learned that this happened because my firmware is higher than the firmware of the OTA.
I was able to get out of the boot loop fine by flashing TWRP recovery and restoring to my TWRP backup of CyanogenMod, but I still want to go back to stock Sense.
I can't S-OFF as Sunshine is the only tool for HBOOT 1.61 and that won't work on CyanogenMod as it says that I need to be using stock. Also, I don't have the money to pay for it anyway.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can get to stock Sense with all updates applied.
I was wondering if I could do a Guru reset again without performing updates, and then use a RUU of a more recent version to get to updated stock. I thought this may work because the version of the RUU would be higher than that of the current software.
Or would I get something from the HTC Dev Center downloads? Etc
Or is there another way?

You flash it via fastboot in RUU mode. First command you need is "fasboot oem rebootRUU" That will boot your phone in bootloader mode ( black screen with silver HTC logo ). Then "fastboot flash zip (name of the zip).zip. You might want to rename that zip to something simple like "firmware" to avoid mistakes when writing in fastboot. And one mote note - you need htc fasboot to flash this, not the regular fastboot

Put the fastboot.exe file in your regular fastboot folder. That should fix it. I forgot to write that, sorry

I had already done that. So there is the normal fastboot.exe that was already in there, and the htcfastboot.exe.

Alright, now on the command prompt it's saying flash zip complete but on my phone I've got the HTC silver logo with the green progress bar at about 80%, not moving by the looks of it?

That's the way it should be. Now "htc_fastboot reboot" and wait till it finishes upgrading apps. Then set up, and enjoy

No problem mate. Glad I could help
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue, needing the same RUU. But the one linked to on android forums is corrupt. fastboot says it can't find the image title and if I open it in in WinRAR it fails the integrity test. I downloaded it three times and FC'd them. They are identicle but all corrupt. Is there another version out there or can you share one you've used? Thanks.

Don't try to extract a RUU zip, it will get corrupted because it's encrypted. Just download the zip, put it in your fastboot folder, and flash via fastboot with your phone in RUU mode

Your version-main is 7.19.771.21 so you need a RUU same or newer than that number. 7.19.771.1 will not work (its older). Unless you want to edit your version-main number from the /misc partition, the simplest is to flash the 7.19.771.21 RUU.
You can download it from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763965
There are some problems today on androidfilehost.com so if you have some issues downloading the file, try later :good:
I get the same failed message with that ruu - I've put cyangenmod back on for now, so I have a working phone. But I will return to this an get it working
Really appreciate your help with this - Thanks

No OS, Relocked Bootloader, Tempered, S-ON.

Hi
In past few days, i wanted to root my HTC One m7. I did it with some of the tutorials from YT or your site. I did some mess i think. Now when i try to turn on my device, i only get HTC logo and that's it. I can get into recovery mode , where i get this :
,,TEMPERED
RELOCKED
Security Warning
S-on
Hboot 1.61
OS 7.19.401.51."
What can i do to make my device working again? Please help me. I tryied to fix this in couple ways, for example , downloaded RUU from htc site. Little diffrent version ,,7.17..." and open the exe file. But when i trying to open it, nothing works.
Other way was that i try command ,,fastboot flash .... zip" but i get message ,,load_file: could not allocate 1606550528 bytes error: cannot load 'ruu.zip': Not enough space. "

flash the 7.19.401.51 RUU. You'll find the file in the general section (see the ruu collection thread in the sticky threads).
RUU at post #2 of that thread, instructions how to flash at post #1 (don't forget to use the fastboot version specified in that post).
NEED PC
This is the link to the RUU. Install the file on PC (it is a big file) and connect your phone and run it.
Should return you to Lollipop 5.0.2 with Sense 6.
Download the right one for your variant:

Sorry but none of the above files will work on OP's phone. His phone is running 7.19.401.51 which is the latest version for the x.xx.401.x base (WWE Europe). His phone is S-ON so he can only flash a RUU that is the exact same (or newer) version than what is already installed on the phone. So 7.19.401.51 is the only one he can use since its the latest one...
However, thanks for links, they might be helpful for someone else :good:
Maybe wrong thread, but no one has a week to go through everything to find my topic. Sorry but this is what came up for my search.
m7, s-on but accepting and working with other carrier sims (installed diff carrier sim but no prompt for code).
Will I be able to root with s-on?
M9 battery crapped out (along with usb data comm and functionality), so going back to the 3 year older m7.
Is this the same company that came up with the Desire HD?!? geeeees! And they wonder why ppl buy chinese!

You need an unlcoked bootloader in order to root your rom. S-ON is fine (unless you have the verizon m7 variant).

Since your phone is S-ON and running 7.19.401.51, you can only use the 7.19.401.51 RUU not the 7.19.401.2 (this one is a downgrade).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
And you must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash the RUU, not fastboot.exe

Sorry, forgot to mention that since your bootlooder is S-ON you must relock it (only s-off bootloader can flash a RUU when unlocked)
So do
Code:
htc_fastboot oem lock
before doing
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip filename.zip
the archive isn't broken, this is an encrypted file and it can't be unzipped.

You can re-unlock the BL after the RUU if you want to reflash twrp.
Super, it is ok. Now is phone boot to android.
And now, when I want install any else firmware, because there is only 5 languages, I must do S-OFF, change CID and upload via fastboot firmware for CID? Or can I change CID without S-ON?

Changing CID requires S-OFF but there is a trick to add languages without flashing another RUU. This will requires at least TWRP installed on your phone and that you perform a factory reset after the trick is done.
What language/country do you need?
TWRP is installed. I need czech language. Maybe phone has simlock, because when I put another sim, so I cant connect to gsm because signal isnt.
edit: I did factory reset via TWRP, but nothing.

boot in twrp, copy /system/customize/cid/default.xml to your computer. open default.xml with notepad++ and add cs_CZ in the "total_list" string. Create a new string with this value: <item type="boolean" name="cs_CZ">yes</item>
save the file and push back to /system/customize/cid/default.xml using twrp.
factory reset the phone and check if the czech language is available.
If your phone was sim-locked you should be prompted to enter the sim unlock code when the OS boot.
I copied default.xml, opened it and check it. Default.xml is in attachment. Strings what you wrote me are in file. So I dont understand it.

Ok I read on another thread that you can change the default.xml file name to match your cid and it should enables all languages listed in default.xml
1- pull /system/customize/cid/default.xml on your pc
2- rename default.xml to HTC__E11.xml
3- Using twrp push HTC__E11.xml to /system/customize/cid/HTC__E11.xml this will overwrite the already existing HTC__E11.xml file that only contains a few language option.
4- reset phone
Dont forget that it must be done from twrp unless you have a custom kernel with "/system write protection" disabled. If not all change made to any file in /system will be reverted back to stock after reboot.
Thank you. Now is all ok.
