Stuck on Bootloader and can't access recovery. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm running XENON HD and tried to do an OTA upgrade. When I came back to my phone, it was in the bootloader screen. After every reboot, it goes there.
This wouldn't normally be a problem except that my volume keys are damaged and I can't select any option from the bootloader screen.
I tried a #fastboot boot twrp.img but it doesn't reboot the phone.
Is there any way I can access recovery another way? I did a backup (on the sd card ) so I really just need to get into recovery.
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.61.0000
Any help/ideas is appreciated.
Thanks!

fastboot boot twrp.img was only working on hboot 1.44 back in 2013, this command was disabled with 1.54 and all newer hboot.
There is no command to make your phone reboot in recovery from the bootloader so i'm afraid you will not be able to go back in recovery. If at least your phone is in bootloader mode with "fastboot usb" in red you can relock your BL and restore using a RUU. Once the ruu is flashed the phone will reboot to the OS by itself.

Hi alray.
I downloaded what i thought was the right RUU but I am getting an error message saying it can't verify the signature.
How can I tell which RUU I should use? I don't care what goes on it as I will be unlocking the bootloader again and putting back on a custom rom.
Thanks
./fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
sending 'zip' (1463809 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

pardon me for stealing the thread. In a related issue.

Yes zip version will work even if your version-main is blank, since you don't know your version-main, use the latest ruu for your cid/mid. If the latest version ruu isn't available in the ruu collection thread, you'll probably have to download it from easy-firmware.com or a similar website.

you can't flash the recovery partition when the BL is locked. The BL must be locked to flash the ruu.

crap crap crap.
I just tried to unlock the bootloader again. Remember when I said the volume keys were damaged? I should have been more specific.. The phone fell and damaged the volume up key and it is pressed in. This doesn't allow me to use the power button to select. So I can't unlock the bootloader now :\ (unless I can give it a default acceptance?)
So I think my only options are to put on the stock and leave it as is
Or open the phone up so the case isn't pressing on the volume key.
This was the RUU I tried. It seems to be the latest and the right version.

bootloader isn't recovery. Does the device show relocked in the bootloader screen. If so unlock the bootloader again from the htcdev site, I'm assuming you must have done this once.
Exactly what all did you do yesterday, please explain step by step.

So let's backup a bit here.
Yesterday your phone was stock?
No custom recovery?
Locked bootloader?
You wanted to change rom so found the ruu and attempted to flash
Today the phone bootloops.?
Bootloader is unlocked?
Still no custom recovery?
no

OK so if you had viper one you must have had a custom recovery. I think this will work for you.
Download and flash TWRP 2.6.3.4 be sure to get the m7_ul version, this should get recovery working again.
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
Then use this guru reset file to reset your phone. Read the info and watch the video, then download the one for your device cid and partno
http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
should be this one
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
You will likely have to use adb push to get the zip to your device, you can do this in twrp (lots of threads on how to do this)

just another thought. If you haven't started on the guru reset path, You could also try this .
Do what you did here using the ruu you found (assuming it is correct) , but issue the last command twice
so
fastboot oem rebootruu
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.rip
and see what happens, may be that simple

Try your original ruu but do the flash zip twice before reboot.
Can always do the guru later if needed

[Q] Conversion to GPE led to eternal boot loop. Fix?

Hi! I tried to convert my M7 to a GPE with OTAs, but this did not succeed. After that I tried to simply revert it back to stock, this also failed and I am now at a state where the phone boots up, as usual, to the homescreen, but turns off after 3 seconds only to repeat the process. I believe this to be a sort of boot loop.
I have tried pretty much everything I could think of. I tried using ADB, but found out that USB debugging is not on and I am not able to turn it on because of the boot loop.
I tried flashing the GPE.zip and stock GPE recovery in order to "start fresh", but this does not seem to have any effect.When flashing the GPE.zip I get the error: FAILED (remote:99 unknown fail). However, when flashed stock recovery it seems to succeed, but just as the CWM/ TWRP recovery, I am not able to access it, because it turns off and begins the boot loop.
I then tried flashing Cyanogenmod and CWM/ TWRP, but this did not do anything either. Tried to simply do a factory reset through the bootloader, nope.
My current state is S-ON, Bootloader Unlocked and the only way to interact with the phone is fastboot, because I can't access ADB in order to S-OFF...
So my first question is whether there is a way to S-OFF through fastboo? Since every thread and site I read requires ADB, which I cannot access.
If not.. What to do ?
Thanks in advance!

ADB is only usable from a booted OS or from custom recovery. In bootloader mode, you can only use FASTBOOT.

Wait, what is that GPE.zip file? A rom? A ruu? How did you tried to flash it? from recovery? using fastboot?

When you flash the recovery partition, also erase cache and reboot the bootloader before attempting to boot in recovery mode. Also make sure the recovery you are flashing is compatible with you variant (i.e M7_UL)
I then tried flashing Cyanogenmod and CWM/ TWRP, but this did not do anything either.

factory reset only wipe /data of the rom currently installed on your phone, this will not magically revert all the mess you did

you need a working rom to s-off. and again adb only works from recovery. Also from a booted OS with usb debugging ON

No
If not.. What to do ?

Click to collapse
flash a sense based rom (doesnt require s-off)
achieve s-off
flash a gpe rom and do the full conversion (i.e with a GPE ruu)
never s-on and never relock your bootloader when converted to gpe or say goodbye to your phone
alray said:
ADB is only usable from a booted OS or from custom recovery. In bootloader mode, you can only use FASTBOOT.
Wait, what is that GPE.zip file? A rom? A ruu? How did you tried to flash it? from recovery? using fastboot?
When you flash the recovery partition, also erase cache and reboot the bootloader before attempting to boot in recovery mode. Also make sure the recovery you are flashing is compatible with you variant (i.e M7_UL)
How? define "did not do anything either" any error message?
factory reset only wipe /data of the rom currently installed on your phone, this will not magically revert all the mess you did
You must be S-OFF to convert to GPE !!
you need a working rom to s-off. and again adb only works from recovery. Also from a booted OS with usb debugging ON
No

Thanks for answering! I am now stuck at the first step :l I believe I've found the correct stock RUU for my device, HTC One M7 bought in Norway, but when I try to download it from htc1guru.com, it downloads a little bit and stops. I am not able to download the full .zip file in order to flash it. I have tested to see if it has anything to do with my internet connection to do, but it doesn't have anything to do with it.
I am now downloading Android Revolution for M7, hoping that it will work....
Do you know if this issue with htc1guru.com is common or not?
Btw, I think it is best if I explain to you the whole process:
1. I downloaded a google play Edition RUU.zip that I could flash to convert the device into GPE.
2. Unlocked and S-OFF'd the device, then I flashed the RUU.zip. After these steps, I had a GPE device. However, the RUU I downloaded was Kitkat 4.4, which I thought would automatically update to 4.4.3. This did not happen.
3. I read more and understood that my CID and modelid had to be changed to CID: GOOGL001 and modelid: PN0712000, and so I did. I did not take note of my original CID, of course, so I don't know what that was :/
4. After having changed those settings, I once again tried to update it with OTA, as one would do with a GPE device, without any luck.
5. Reading on, it became clear that the device had to have stock recovery, which I downloaded and flashed. Once again, no luck with the OTA update. After this point, I gave up the GPE dream and decided to return to stock.
6. Then I read a tutorial to return back to stock, which told me to lock the bootloader and S-ON in order to flash the stock rom. This is did, but the process failed and I was left with a device booting up to homescreen, turning off and on in this endless boot loop.
Hope this helps to clarify my situation

Well, I don't know where this tutorial was from, but you don't have to s-on to flash a ruu., you don't even need to relock bootloader to flash a ruu when you have s-off. Never S-ON back unless you absolutely must (sending phone for repair under warranty).

thats a good thing you can unlock the bootloader again! many GPE users a stuck with unlockable bootloader with hboot 1.55+.
was you able to flash arhd? Then s-off the phone again and run the ruu you want again (stock or gpe)

If by ARHD you mean Android Revolution HD, then no, I am not able to flash it. I get the error : FAILED (24 parsing failure), then nothing happens.
I also tried flashing stock Rug, but since I've changed my CID to CWS__001, while my MID is P0712000, they are in conflict and the RUU doesn't work either. Tried editing the info - Android. The, but no luck there either

Sorry about that. The only recovery I have been able to flash is this one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739126 . All "normal" CWM/TWRP recoveries will not boot up.
I just flashed ARHD, but when the Aroma installer finishes and I reboot the system this happens:
1. Screen turns off, then on.
2. A Google logo appears, turns off
3. Google logo appears, boots into the recovery I mentioned above
Any idea what this means?

[Q] HTC One M7 got into Bootloop, S-On, unrooted, Debug mode is off, only Fastboot

Hey guys, this is my first thread in XDA have quite some experience with samsung android but pretty new with HTC.
So, I dropped my HTC one day and it got stuck in a bootloop after few days. I havent change anything, stock, unrooted, never flashed any ROM into it, etc. I tried flashing RUU into it using fastboot command but it ddnt work since its still S-on.
Im working on mac as a platform and i dont think this is a major issue?
I am able to access recovery mode and fastboot mode, but wasnt able to push any file into it since debugging mode is off before the bootloop. ./adb devices command wont detect the phone. I also have HTC Sync installed on my mac but again, it wont detect the phone.
I also printed the getvar all result here:

First of all is there any warranty left on the device. If there is it would be a good idea to take advantage of that before tampering with it. Especially as this happened after you dropped the phone. So there's a good chance it's a hardware problem.
I assume you've tried to factory reset from stock recovery?
If there's no warranty your best option is to unlock the bootloader. This will allow you to flash a Custom recovery. Then you can push a Rom to the phone, as adb will work in a custom recovery weather debugging is enabled or not.
I recommend TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery it's not the latest twrp but is the most stable.

When you say you wiped it in twrp, did you Factory Reset or did you Format Data?
If you used Format Data then you wiped your entire device including the installed Rom. You should be able to force the device to power of by holding the power button for 60secs.
Then power on while holding volume down to get to the bootloader. Then you can boot to recovery and push a Rom with adb. :good:
awesome, thanks @Danny201281 i got TWRP to work on my HTC one. now on to custom rom. Which one is the best for HTC One? Any suggestion anyone? =)

Hehe I will always recommend Android Revolution HD because it's my favorite
But honestly is depends what you want from a Rom. ARHD is close to stock. It's very stable with no real bugs. It also has xposed support so you can make your own modifications. For me this gives a more personal experience.
MaximusHD is also a very popular close to stock Rom.
Or then you have the likes of Viper Rom or insertcoin which are more heavily modified.
But either way you look at it ARHD is a good place to start. It should be flashed with TWRP 2.6.3.3 TO avoid problems installing as most newer versions of TWRP don't seem to agree with the Aroma installer the Rom is packaged with :good:

9 times out of 10 this is a Hardware problem. You can try and flash a Firmware package and after that the only thing left Is to s-off and try an ruu. But if firmware doesn't fix it an ruu probably won't either.
As the phone had been dropped there's a high chance it's a hardware problem.
But I'll see if I can find a firmware package you can try. It's worth a go before writing it off.

oh. so i guess warranty is the only way to go. or new phone. =( i even lost pictures from internal storage.
I couldn't find a firmware package but I did find this OTA. It contains the firmware we need. Download it and open the zip on your pc. Extract the firmware.zip and put the firmware.zip in your fastboot folder.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_...-19-631-9_release_372926h4tumwerl14wrs0u-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
Now you will need to unlock the bootloader again with your Unlock_code.bin
Flash TWRP and Flash your Rom again before the phone will boot. Then reboot the phone. :fingers-crossed:
If that doesn't do it Warranty is a possibility but you will need s-off to remove the signs the phone was tampered with.

You flashed the wrong zip. The firmware zip is inside the OTA
Open the OTA_M7_UL_K44_SENSE60_MR_Rogers_WWE_5.11.631.8_R-4.19.631.9_release_372926h4tumwerl14wrs0u.zip On your pc inside it is a firmware.zip extract the firmware.zip and flash it with the previous procedure

I couldn't find a firmware package but I did find this OTA. It contains the firmware we need. Download it and open the zip on your pc. Extract the firmware.zip and put the firmware.zip in your fastboot folder.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_...-19-631-9_release_372926h4tumwerl14wrs0u-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
Now you will need to unlock the bootloader again with your Unlock_code.bin
Flash TWRP and Flash your Rom again before the phone will boot. Then reboot the phone. :fingers-crossed:
If that doesn't do it Warranty is a possibility but you will need s-off to remove the signs the phone was tampered with.

Yeah unfortunately Unlocking the Bootloader Wipes the device.

youre amazing man. looks fine so far. baseband and IMEI is registered. im currently on android lollipop, and couldnt find any suitable gapps file. do you happen to know?
ok, so I shut down the phone to get back into fastboot mode with the button combo, but now it is not even turning on. black screen, not even charging. wtf.
Danny201281 said:
When you say you wiped it in twrp, did you Factory Reset or did you Format Data?
If you used Format Data then you wiped your entire device including the installed Rom. You should be able to force the device to power of by holding the power button for 60secs.
Then power on while holding volume down to get to the bootloader. Then you can boot to recovery and push a Rom with adb. :good:

Sorry man I had to get some sleep, So it was looking good for while then
What happened exactly? You flashed the firmware and Rom and all was ok. Then you just power off to go to bootloader and it never came back on? Did you flash anything in between that or that was it? You say you had a lollipop Rom can you provide a link to it please?
Is the device detected when you connect it to your pc? Does it show on device manager, maybe as Unknown device or QHSUSB_DLOAD?

I'd be happy to make a suggestion but can you post your getvar all? Not all roms are compatible with all devices.
It's kind of important to know what I'm recommending a Rom for

Cant get out from relocked state + cant flash recovery. Im locked in box with no key!

It happened when i was trying to flash a stock recovery img, so that i could update my htc one m7 with the official update from the phone "OTA_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_EUROPE_7.19.401.2-6.09.401.11_release_4217922wykl17vamtts1919.zip"
I cant do anything from the bootloader, beside i have my" Unlock_code" from past and can get that working allright, even that doesnt unlocks my phone anymore.
All though im able to use my phone, i want to update to the latest version.
So anyone out there in the big world, who can help me?

If you want to update your phone, why are you trying to unlock its bootloader? Do you have re-locked your bootloader with a custom recovery installed? Unlocking the bootloader will wipe /data/preload folder and preventing the ota update to install... I do not really understand what you are trying to do here because you are not giving much information about the actual state of your phone...
Is your phone running the stock rom?
You have relocked the bootloader with a custom recovery?
please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove imei and serialno before posting)

i can do flash unlock_code.bin, then it just deletes everything and im starting a fresh htc. In bootloader it then says tampered and relocked + s-on, it wont unlock it and even that it is locked, it wont update it to the newest official OTA update (7.19.401.2 / 804.78MB).
When it tries to enter recovery it isay: TAMPERED, RELOCKED and Security Warning , it just goes in the bootloader and not recovery.

do you have a custom recovery installed ?
if so, the only way you can unlock the bootloader is to flash the stock firmware to put stock recovery back on, you cant lock or relock the bootloader with custom software on your phone.
Stock firmware here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473395871
i had custom recovery, but i flashed stockrecovery on it. Must have bricked the recovery somehow, because now i have no reecovery. If i try to flash the recovery i get this, no matter if i try to flash custom or stock recovery:

yup, beacuse your bootloader is locked, only way to fix it is to flash the firmware, is there anything on the phone internal storage that you need to keep, pictures, musci, documents etc ?

with the phone in fastbootUSB mode and the zip in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, issue these commands:
ps: its easier if you rename the download to just firmware rather than M7_UL_Firmware_6.09.401.11
fastboot oem rebootRUU (case sensetive) phone screen will go black with silver HTC logo
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (first time it might say failed: please flush again) so issue the command again
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
make sure it now says successful at the bottom - this is important
if so then,
fastboot reboot-bootloader
if not report back here first
when you get back to the bootloader, try and unlock it again, you may have to go back to HTCDev site and get a new unlock token.

ok follow these instructions I laid out for someone else if your looking to return to stock, they are exactly the same for your phone as your on the same firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59273464&postcount=4
ps. you dont need to lock or relock your bootloader to update, you only need locked or relocked whilst s-on to flash firmware or run an RUU.

use firmware for when you have problems like you did earlier or if your s-off, earlier RUU's are only if your phone is S-off and saves all this messing around, its full firmware and rom in one package, if you were s-off, then we could of just flashed the corrisponding firmware to an RUU, ran the RUU, you'd then be 100% factory stock, just boot and update from there.
theres a bit more to it than just stock recovery, your rom has to be 100% stock, no root, no custom kernals or anything like that, no removed stock apps.
trouble is, when you unlock the bootloader, it deletes a hidden folder (data/preload folder) its HTC's little way of say, now you've unlocked, you can never update with us again, that backup will put all of that back on your phone.

So you gave me the firmware, its on the phone now.
I had Unlock.bin, but i can see it has supersu installed in it.
i flashed to stockrecovery from where you helped the other guy.
Im waiting for my download OTA update to finish (official).
Will i be able to update it even that i see its rootet (supersu)???

try it, but I think you'll have to follow that whole post of mine that I linked you too, superSU modifies system files to root, so the OTA may error out.
if it does error, you'll have to start from here "what you need to do is flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 from here:" and follow every step, you wont need that firmware that you downloaded earlier again, just dont lock your bootloader.

[Q] hboot 1.44.00 and can't move forward nor backwards

Hi everyone
Been on Cyanogenmod 11-20140424-NIGHTLY-M7 for far too long and wanted to either upgrade Cyanogenmod or, better yet, move to Viper. I'm somewhat skilled with Windows and Linux, but I can't seem getting things to work.
What I've got:
HTC One M7 (unbranded, bought in Switzerland)
Unlocked S-ON
hboot: 1.44.0000
M7-UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26-120-274-0202
CID: HTC_102
It's rooted and got CWM ROM-Manager installed
Notebook with Windows 8.1, USB 3.0 all around
What I've tried so far:
Getting S-OFF
- Did not work. revone throws an ERROR=1 at me when I try to ./revone -P. I've tried like a hundred times, with su and all.
Then I tried to relock and get an RUU on it:
- Relocking did not work. Neither with revone (./revone -l or -r is successful on the CLI, but does nothing, i.e. still says *** UNLOCKED *** in the bootloader), nor with fastboot...
- ... as fastboot does not work, either. Tried different drivers and all, but fastboot always says < waiting for device >. So fastboot oem lock achieved nothing, either.
Then I just tried to install an RUU to get to JB and hboot 1.55 to then continue with rumrunner. This got stuck at some boot-image showing the HTC logo and the .exe cancelled.
Is USB3.0 breaking my neck here or do I have any other options to get to ViperOne?
Thanks in advance...
From what i've read in here many times, hboot 1.44 isn't compatiable with windows 8. 1. You need to use a windows 7 machine.

Windows 8 and hboot 1.44 are not compatible. You should use Windows 7 or better still Linux (preferably ubuntu 32bit)

OK, got my hands on a Linux notebook and managed the relock the bootloader. This led to only being able to boot into Bootloader, Recovery and ROM did always boot into Bootloader.
Then I tried to get a RUU with JB4.3 on the device to be able to run rumrunner on hboot 1.55.

This didn't work. While in TWRP, adb was not able to connect. Funnily enough, flashing TWRP*allowed me to boot into CYM again. Activated USB*Debugging and allowed the Host to connect, but still no luck in TWRP.
But since I*had access again I* just copied the Guru image over USB*to the Sdcard, booted back into TWRP*and installed the ROM*manually.

Another adventure... In the official instructions it says unlocked OR*rooted, so I*did not bother with rooting.
rumrunner then failed and damaged Recovery leading to not being able to boot into TWRP*and thus being unable to install SuperSu zip.
Had to reflash recovery, install SuperSu and run rumrunner again... Which again failed (becuase the screen was off, I did not see that ADB*Shell requested root).
After a couple of tries now it worked ^_^
Thanks a lot for your explanations.
Now I just have to find out how to get to Firmware 5.0.2 to install the latest ViperOne.
Edit:*When I try to run the OTA*update to 4.19.401.11 it just boots into Recovery

You need stock rom and recovery to install OTA updates. You can just flash the rom again with stock recovery to take further OTAs.
But as your now s-off you can just flash the firmware manually. You don't need to re lock the bootloader again. That's only for s-on users.
You can download the rest of the firmware updates here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32777
You must flash at least one zip for each firmware version. I.e if your on 3.xx.401.x then you have to flash
4.xx.401.x
5.xx.401.x
6.xx.401.x
7.xx.401.x
Then you can flash twrp and install a lollipop rom. You should have the rom on the internal storage before you start as the device won't boot after flashing the firmware as it will replace the stock boot.img. So you will need to flash a rom before it will boot. :good:
Commands for flashing the firmware zip as follows.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip "name-of-firmware".zip
fastboot flash zip "name-of-firmware".zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash TWRP, Install Rom, Done :good:

I thought I had to adhere to some upgrade path when handling firmwares but if that's not the case I'll be happy to use the latest, thanks!

See my edited post above. You can't just flash the latest firmware. It might work but there's a risk of bricking your phone if you skip firmware versions

Ahh yes. Well, another interesting one going through the firmware updates. Going from 5.xx to 6.xx nearly killed my phone. Screen went black no matter how long I*pressed the power button and connecting through USB*mounted some strange folders on the device.
Luckily found Dexter's thread and his unbricking script solved the problem:

Now ViperOne is updating, yay ^__^
