[Q] Can't seem to get any rom to work. A beer to whomever can help me out!

I've tried a number of different combinations to get my HTC One running on a custom ROM, and none of them seem to work.

I've tried using both TWRP and CWM, and tried installing both the latest Viper and Bad Boyz roms. Regardless, installation completes successfully (apparently) and the phone reboots. It gets past the loading screen, then to a locked home screen. Upon unlock, all I see is a white screen with the HTC logo.
Sometimes, I'll get a dialog with the following error:
Process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding

The phone then reboots itself, and the cycle begins again.
I will happily through a beer, coffee, or other beverage of choice (or equivalent) to whomever is able to help me out. Thank you!

You did do a full wipe in recovery correct? I've flashed both of those no problem.

I have, yes. Does not appear to make a difference, unfortunately. Performed full wipes, made sure to wipe both caches upon install, still stuck.

You are using a Sprint HTC one correct? May be a stupid question for me to ask, but you'd be surprised how easily people get lost here!

I am indeed I appreciate you making sure! I can't help but wonder if I did something similarly dumb to bungle this thing.

You are in a pickle haha, this is what I would do. If your phone is not in a working state, RUU back to stock, then unlock the boot loader again, flash TWRP recovery, try flashing your Rom of choice. I bet after that process your Rom will boot and run just fine.

Darn. Do you happen to know if there's any way to RUU on a mac? Everything I've seen so far seems to utilize a .exe

I would also re-download your ROM/S you wish to try, it's amazing how easily an error can come from the download itself and not show up until it's flashed

try reflashing the latest radio with twrp recovery, you can find them in flashable zips here in the threads.

Download this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
Unzip it, you will find Rom.zip inside the folder.
I'm assuming you have fastboot working on your Mac
Reboot your phone into boot loader, select fastboot, plug into Mac.
Make sure you relock your boot loader.
Move that Rom.zip into the folder that fastboot is found on mac.
Type the following commands
1. fastboot oem rebootRUU
2. fastboot flash zip rom.zip
3. fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4. fastboot reboot
Yes you need to do fastboot flash zip Rom.zip twice, it will fail the first time.
Let it do its thing then reboot. You should have your phone back to stock!

It's fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin after you've gotten the unlock_code.bin emailed to you through htcdev.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/general/guide-how-to-unlock-install-recovery-t2988292
So get that. Do the unlock process. Then connect and open cmd. Type: adb reboot bootloader , then wipe the device with fastboot -w , and finally flash that rom (especially if it's the ruu) you have or download a stock rom from here in the forums by fastboot update [path/to/zip/file/here]. That's my two cents.

thanks for the input.
I have tried unlocking it with the bin file, but it never completes even tho its says it does. i have tried probably 50 times. adb is not responsive. only fastboot seems to work.

What do you mean that it never completes? As in the phone never asks if you want to unlock it?

I'm curious, what happens when you try a factory reset through the bootloader?

[HELP REQUEST] Carrier signal problem on my HTC

Hello XDA, hoping everyone is doing great..
Unfortunately i am not doing so great my HTC has become a pain in the a**! lol
When i first got my HTC it was working great signal was strong and everything was working flawlessly.
I decided to get my device S-off, rooted and change the rom to cm 12.1 i was able to do it fine, i Also have twrp 3 too.
This is the info of my phone:
Code:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.61.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.16.3250.24
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main:

(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0713000
(bootloader) cidnum: T-MOB010
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4135mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-331585dd
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
The carrier was working fine until later on i decided to install Viperone i was able to install it fine and it was working fine when it booted. i did notice that for some reason now my device is back to S-on and has hboot 1.61 which prevents me to get s-off and change the CID because for some reason i'm getting a T-Mobile CID now
Code:
cidnum: T-MOB010
When i rebooted the phone it won't detect the sim card at all when i check the IMEI it displays unknown, same thing with the baseband but if when i do
Code:
fastboot getvar
i see my IMEI there but when the phone is booted when i do *#06# i get unknown. I don't know what went wrong and i am out of ideas.
By the way i not longer on Viperone i changed to a Google version and the same thing happened. First boot i got signal and after reboot no sim card detect it
Is there a way to get it to stock without having to do S-off, iv'e seen a couple of posts but none of the links are working.
I can't flash RUU since i am on 1.61 and can't get it s-off.
Could this be a radio or firmware issue? Or what can be causing this? Or how can i get it back to stock fully without having to s-off if that is possible.
I would really appreciate some help, Thank you very much

1st, if your phone is back to s-on it's because you did the command to turn it back s-on. It can't change by itself "for some reasons" like youv said. Same thing for the CID.
Anyway you don't need s-off to flash a RUU. Flash the 7.18.531.2 ruu (see the ruu collection thread in the general section). The ruu and instructions how to flash are at post #1 and you'll probably have to follow the guide at the end of post #2 to write the correct version-main before flashing the ruu.
If you still have the same issue after successfuly flashing the RUU then it's an hardware problem, most likely with the baseband processor.

are you using htc_fastboot.exe or the regular fastboot.exe? You must use htc's version of fastboot to flash newer RUU like explained in the ruu thread.

I was using the fastboot from android SDK. I have one I downloaded from HTC website. Do I have to rename it to htc_fastboot ?

the name of the file itself doesn't matters just make sure you are using the same name in the command window.

Ok, i am trying again now with the HTC fastboot

I downloaded the ruu.exe from HTC now it go as far as step 4/6 and then i get "Error [132]: Signature error" .
Before i tried this i noticed that when i did "fastboot getvar all" on this part was blank before (version-main: ) and now is showing (version-main: 7.18.531.2) I'm am going to try this method now instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497614

After succesfully installing the RUU i still have the same problem. Well basically the same but now i get the carrier popping up but it says no service. Will it make a difference if i SuperCID?

Supercid? CID doesn't affect carrier signal, its only used to determine which versions of ota updates your phone will receive.

Softbrick, need to retrieve pictures, xt890 AP Fastboot Secure

Hi all,
My RAZR i softbricked almost a year ago. I am determined that I will get my holidays pictures from it... please help me do so!
It gets stuck on the intel page when booting normally, I can access fastboot however I think the phone must be locked. In AP fastboot the options are:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
BP Tools
Switch Console
Power Off
Recovery will ocassionally take me to the sick looking droid.
When trying through RSD Lite I get stuck at 3/10 "boot_signed", and the phone says "preflash validation failed". I think this may be because the fastboot is locked?
When running through this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390573 unbrick.bat can't find libusb0.dll (possibly a windows 10 issue?).
I can't actually remember what version of Android I was running, however I'm pretty sure it was JB.
If anyone can advise as to what I should try next, or whether I can't recover my pictures at all, then please do get in touch.
Greg

First u can try to flash those images manually. The fastboot command then will say a bit more than just that error.
So flash the system and boot image manually.
We can't unlock the bootloader because u will lose all data from the phone.

Nope, "root" is only a system thingy and is most commonly used in Android when u can access system files while u are on a running system.
In this case the command "boot" is restricted in the bootloader. No way to enable that one for us. U need to use "flash"

Are u using the "fastboot" executable from the Android sdk? I recommend in this case to use the "mFastboot" executable.
The mfastboot executable in the RSD-Lite package should work just fine.
Just make sure u are using the latest JB (4.1.2) rsd-lite package.

Maybe I could just fly you to my house and you can fix it for me If there is a tutorial that I should be following that I have missed, then please do let me know.

We can't get around that. The error message indicates that the wrong system or other images are flashed into the device. Sry, I have no clue on how to restore that.

Kitkat?
Could it be that failed OTA updates won't allow downgrades?
I have a xt890 that is bootlooping with the very same errors while trying to fastboot flash 4.1.2 en.GB.
I'm coming to the conclusion that the OTA Update partially succeeded and its no longer accepting JB firmware...

Error when try to flash stock RUU

Hello everyone,
some months ago i rooted my HTC One (M7) and all works great, but now my camera didn't work. Front camera work sometimes, but rear behave like didn't exist. So i want now to go back to stock ROM, maybe it can help, if not i want to send phone to service.
So far i did this:
- change CID to stock
- lock bootloader
- change bootloader flag (RELOCKED to LOCKED)
and now i must flash stock RUU, but when i try to do this CMD send me error.
I download this RUU (I can't paste link): PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip and i type commands:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
And after i do this CMD show me this:
Code:

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash the ruu (explained at post #1 of the ruu collection thread). Also relocking the bootloader is not required to flash a RUU when s-off (I'm assuming your phone is S-OFF since you were able to change your cid), also explained in at post #1 of the ruu thread. You can download htc_fastboot.exe from androidfilehost.com

I downloaded fastboot for HTC, but maybe it wasn't correct. I try find some fine fastboot and then I write here. Thanks a lot!
