I have bought 3 years ago A HTC One M7 in the USA from Verizon. I worked in the States for a year and returned to the Netherlands. I cancelled my mobile contract with Verizon and asked them to unlock the M7 because I wanted to use the phone in NL with a local mobile provider. This worked partially. I could call with the phone but connecting to internet was only possible at very low speed. Also app updates did not work.
I contacted a local dude from a local Android forum who presented himself as an Android M7 guru. He was prepared to help me to load a complete fresh European RUU on the phone. I followed his instuctions precisely and this went initially smoothly. Changing VID, CID and whatever all through ADB. The final step however was installing the ruu and after wiping the phone content it was ready to install. And then the device was not recognized anymore by ADB. He also forgot to instruct me to install TWRP as a first step. So, I donot have TWRP.
Now the phone is bricked and here are the symptons.
The phone is charging incl battery logo. The phone boots but is not passing the boot logo. I can get into HBoot and it says unlocked s-off but I get a error message USB last connected devive caused an error. ADB commands do not work because the phone is not recognized. I can select recovery and then the PC tells me that a HTC android device is connected , that the phone a recognized as a mass storage device (portable device D:/ however I cannot reach the Phone in any way. I have killed USB drivers a millions times, deleted ADB and reinstalled. Deleted HTC sync mngr a million times, installed every possible usb driver kit etc etc etc. Even cleaned the register. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Factory reset fails because it fails to mount emmc. emmc indicates 0 bytes
I have tried now everything possible for 6 months and you are probably my last resort before I throw the phone in the bin. Local HTC partners are not allowed to touch the phone because it is a Verizon OEM phone.
So, what do you think? Is there any change to make this phone alive or not?

You cant flash the European ruu on a verizon m7, only the verizon ruu will work on ne this CDMA variant. Now you must have fastboot working to 1) revert your cid back to verizon 2)flash TWRP tout le get adb working and change back your mid to verizon and 3) flash the verizon ruu.

Thanks Alray for youe quick respons, I already figured out that Verizon was harware incompatible with European HTC's. Yes, I need tpo change CID, MID etc. but.......... How do I get my fastboot working?

make sure the correct drivers are installed on your computer and try other usb ports (2.0) and cable.
There is nothing you can do to fix your phone without fastboot...

So, I bought a second hand Sprint HTC One from Craigslist about a week ago.. First think I did was followed QBKing77's guide on how to unlock bootloader and root. Did that fairly easily, then went through this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 ) to unlock it, had to do the steps in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840 ) to get it to work since I had Android 4.3 and was unsure on how to go backwards to Android 4.2.2. After I got my phone unlocked, I went and got a Net10 SIM card and a month card, activated it, threw it in my One, and.. Nothing. No signal what so ever on GSM. It does recognize my SIM, though. So, I flashed to the original Radio from Sprint ( 1.00.20.0315 ), but still couldn't connect to GSM networks. I called Sprint, and they said my phone was still active on a plan, so I went hunting for a way around that.. I saw some things about flashing to Cricket, but I didn't want that. After relocking my bootloader and trying to RUU a few times, and none of them working, I thought I should update the Firmware. So, I downloaded some UL update for 3.62.401.1 without thinking, flashed it onto my device, and when I booted it up, it started a boot loop. I could navigate the phone for a while, but after about 5 minutes of it being turned on, it would reboot. So, I went into TWRP>wipe>advanced wipe> selected Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System. After that, my system now hangs on the HTC boot screen. I can still get into Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried flashing to TWRP 2.5.0.0, but my touch screen stopped working in TWRP when I did that. I just flashed back to 2.6.3.0, and my touch works again in TWRP. I can't get ADB Sideloader to work.. Currently, my Bootloader is Unlocked, S-Off, superCID, HBoot 1.55.0000, Radio 4A.21.3262.04, OpenDSP v32.120.274.0909, OS 1.29.651.10. That's about all the info I can get from Bootloader. It still says Tampered as well.
What should I do? My first step is to hopefully get back to where I can actually see the homescreen.. After that, I'd like to be able to get my phone to work on GSM.. I don't know if that is possible, though. I haven't found anything about someone having a phone that is still on a Sprint plan and being able to use GSM in the US.

I already have my phone unlocked. I have the same RUU downloaded from that thread as well, and tried it one more time, and I got Error 155, basically telling me I have the wrong RUU for my device..

Are you 100% sure you are s-off?
Try a different USB Port
USB 2 if possible.

I only have two ports on my laptop, and I've tried both. I even tried a usb hub, but that gave me the same error. In my bootloader, it says I'm s-off, I used rumrunner to do it a couple days ago.
Hi all,
I've been attempting to and failing for the last few days to get a custom ROM installed on My HTC one from Sprint. About an hour ago, I realized what the problem was but unfortunately have found no way of fixing this.
So far, I have unlocked the phone using the instructions from the HTCDev site as well as installed CWM/ TWRP Bootloaders and rooted with SU installed. I wiped all of the information off of the phone and as far as I know, the original OS is no longer available. I am able to access recovery and bootloader mode no problem and can install ROM's but they do not work fully as prior to rooting, I did not turn S-Off. It is currently on and I am stuck on how exactly to proceed.
Ideally, I would like for some way to be able to turn S-off, however, because I cannot access the operating system, I have no way of running rumrunner to get it done. At best, I can turn the phone on for about 2.5 minutes before it reboots and repeats the process. Added to that, whenever I unlock the screen, only the HTC logo shows up, there's no way to access anything else. I am able to copy files to storage during that time though.
Alternatively, I would like to return it to it's original state, but trying that has failed on multiple occasions. All of the guides that I have seen to return to stock require that you either have access to the operating system (without the reboot) or have S-Off, none of which I have.
Also, during the time that the OS loads, adb does not recognize the device. Its recognized in bootloader mode and Hboot, just not during 'regular' operation.
I would appreciate any assistance that could be provided as I really need to get this phone working.
Thanks! :good:

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Don't know why it never showed up in my search results though. Just gotta get this phone unlocked for GSM now.
Another problem
So I finally got my HTC one from sprint unlocked but I ran into another problem. Whenever I insert a GSM sim into the phone, I cannot get any signal. An 'x' is shown over my signal bar. Have already flashed the old version of the radio but I still get the same result. Currently running viper rom 5.7. Bootloader is unlocked, S-off and rooted.
Any idea what else I can do? Got the PN 072 version if that helps
BTW, I am using a Domestic GSM sim

I REALLY don't get why people buy a CDMA phone to use on GSM networks.... That said this is a known issue if you're running KitKat. No solution last I checked.

Main reason I got it was cause it seemed like there was a GSM radio in the CDMA version and I travel quite often out of state. Being able to use it locally would simply be a huge bonus. Will try downgrading to 4.3 or 4.1 to see if there's any change.
i need your help, just got an htc one sprint for 90 bucks, i live abroad the US so i was thinking that i can use this phone without any problems as i have been doing with the verizon's phones with the global roaming. But with this when i put the sim card i got the invalid sim card etc, and i was looking the way to unlock it but spent almost all day and it seems that the version running kitkat and with hboot 1.57 can't get downgraded in order tu unlock the sim for use in my country, tired i can't remember what i did wrong that i just have now a bricked phone that can't get the internal storage, can't flash a zip even on sideload cuz i got errors, couldn't get the s off even using the firewater method with a custom rum.
I remember that i used an CM11 Nightless if i am not wrong but when i tried to restore it i got the 0 storage storage. Reading on different pages i just see the restore to the jelly bean version but kitkat i coulnd't get nothing. I am not so noob i had rooted even a Pantech Burst but this is a pain in the ass for me.
So i want to know if i have a brick or if this phone can be saved.
At least i can get to recovery when i unlock the bootloader but of course i can't get storage, tried with cwm and the other one
What i am worried about is that thing of security warning when i relocked the bootloader
Please help :crying:

You probably need to run a RUU to reset your phone. Here is 5.03.651.3 you can use this if your OS is the same or lower since you are still S-ON. On your sim unlock issue, depending if the imei is clear you can contact Sprint for the unlock code via their support site.

I have already tried that but i had the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect, i downloaded the first one not the decrypted. Using both versions of windows 7 and 8 32-64 bits, happens the same problem
and for call Sprint i am in Panama, central america and i don't think that they will provide me the unlock code if the phone even is not mine at all it still with the name of the girl who sold me the one

Try to run the firmware 5.03.651.3 just download it, rename to firmware.zip and place in your adb/fastboot folder. Here are the steps for flashing firmware. Since you are S-ON make sure your bootloader is locked/relocked.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB type in the command window:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Then:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

If the firmware flashes successfully, then I would try the RUU again.
Finally i made it came back but i still with the problem of the sim card, reading around the web it seems that with the hboot 1.57 is not yet possible the roaming as was possible with others like 1.56 or less, and i don't wanna have that pain again of what happens this weekend
Hello there,
My HTC is not starting up since an firmware update this week (mobile phone provider: Hi/KPN in the Netherlands). I do not know which firm update it was. I have not rooted, unlocked, flashed or made any other kind of customization on my phone. After the firmware update the mobile phone restarted itself and immediately got stuck on the white screen with the text HTC One and beatsaudio. Rebooting the phone has the same results. So I tried the bootloader (HBOOT-1.57.0000) in order to use 'factory reset' and 'recovery', but both options don't do anything.
Can anyone tell me which options I have left in order to repair my HTC One by myself? I would really appreciate your help!
Greetings,
Ivo

is your phone still under warranty?
Do you have adb/fastboot on your computer? if yes post the output of "fastboot getvar all" except your imei and serialno
I have the same problem with a verizon htc one
Cannot find device
I installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot, but it cannot find the device while the mobile phone is switched off or in HBOOT-modus. Probably because debugging is turned off? Is there another way in which I can provide you the information you need?
I have a repair service, but than it will take three weeks before I will see my phone back. That is why I wanted to manually reinstall the software. Is that still possible?

Usb debugging is only required for adb commands while the phone is booted to Android os.
Fastboot commands should work with the bootloader in fastboot mode regardless of usb debugging. Make sure your drivers are installed correctly and the bootloader is in fastboot mode not hboot mode.
You need to provide the getvar as requested by @alray, or we don't know what software is safe to recommend for you :good:

Hello there, I posted a while ago because I wasn't able to update my HTC One nor connecting it to usb in any way.
Finally, now I was able to update it over OTA (wifi) and... well it still won't connect to USB.
Right now the phone is sitting at :
Android 5.0.2 Sense 6.0 software 7.19.771.21 and it's a HTC one 3
Strangely enough it's not sim locked cause I tried a vodafone sim earlier and it worked.
So, the main change here is that I was able to boot it into recovery mode but I wouldn't know what to do there.
Any advices on how to proceed to unlock bootloader, s-off and all that wonderfull stuff?
I reiterate that the phone WON'T connect in usb mode, not even in fastboot, looks like.
Thank you very much in advance

Already told you the last time that there is nothing useful in stock recovery, only factory reset.

Fix your usb port first. You must at least be able to use fastboot commands when in bootloader which requires usb connection.
