HTC One M7 802w Dual SIM Bricked in bootloop.

I got an HTC One M7 Dual SIM 802w M7CDUG S-OFF with HBOOT 2.49.0000. It's on a boot loop and idk how to get it running again... I looked at some of the comments here and already flashed its recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.3 but it won't even enter recovery. Any help is appreciated

Hi you need to look at these threads for help, the dual SIM HTC one M7CDUG are a different breed, recoverys and roms for the m7_ul version are different and won't work with your phone. That's why your recovery is not working.

Ubuntu 12.04.5 is in the final stage of installing 1,071 files on second 500 gig drive now.

Only concerned with one thing.

It forced me to create a USER account for General use. Did that replace my admin account as the default? I don't see any reason to request for that user account to be set unless I specifically want it for some reason. And that would be after the install is complete right? Not in first steps of install..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
That's very strange I'm not aware of that as being normal that's for sure. But in any case if you feel it's a problem you could just remove the General Use account with your Administrator account after installation.

Or grant su rights to the second account if necessary, with

sudo adduser <username> sudo

This will add the General Use account to the sudo group allowing it full root access.

Update; after several hours and side by side, stand alone install, I can confirm Ubuntu 12.0.4.5will not boot on my 64 bit Windows 7 Pro amd machine period.

In about 35+ boot attempts, it booted once, told me the install specs were read only and wanted to do many updates which I allowed. I got an error message about my graphics card likely not working if I updated to 14.0.4 so I skipped that update. When finished it rebooted and the monitor said no hdmi input 5 seconds later and that's were things stand now. Going to format and reinstall Win 7 and buy an S5 in the morning that will connect to my pc like my S3, S4, Note 2 all do every time with every rom
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
That is very strange, as my machine is also built for 64bit Windows 7 pro amd based machine. I assume this is the same computer that was running it previously? You have Ati graphics card?

I know Amd don't release officially supported drivers for Linux but the third party community supported drivers work just fine with my Ati card out of the box. Even tried some 3d gaming through steam recently and to my surprise it handled it very well. I'm sorry not sure what to suggest here.

If I had to pin point the problem I'd say check your bios, is it a legacy (standard) bios or does your computer boot with uefi. Uefi is known to cause some problems booting Linux although as far as I'm aware Ubuntu does support it. Disabling secure boot (although the steps to do so are different for each and every computer so can't offer you much guidance with that) on uefi may be the key here, it's possible that Windows is taking over the uefi boot process and interfering with Linux. I just arrived at work so don't have time to go into great detail here but I'll find a link to some info and edit this post with it.

http://www.rodsbooks.com/linux-uefi/

If your pc does use uefi it seems that would be the issue :( uefi doesn't like 32bit Linux.

What is the best way to do S-OFF on my HTC One? A'm already have unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and root.

I've tryed some ways to do S-OFF - it doesn't work!

Give me some advice please.

Rumrunner s-off doesn't work, i don't know why, screen below.

1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner

(preferred and most reliable method).

What is this? I don't know, how to do it? Can anyone understend me how to do it?

hboot 1.57

Well that depends, there are a lot of variables involved. What hboot are you on. What methods have you tried and how did they fail.

The most strait forward way to get s-off is Sunshine app. But it cost $25. If you don't want to pay for it the other methods are all a little trial and error.

How can i do S-OFF with rumrunner? How to escape this error that i have?

1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner

(preferred and most reliable method).

How to do it? What it the unsecure kernel? What is the ROM? I need to do S-OFF somehow...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok don't take this the wrong way but it concerns me that you want to make your phone s-off, but you don't know what roms and kernels are. This is the basics of flashing software to your device. And while your s-on there's not to much you can do wrong to permanently brick your phone. (software Brick at worst)

If you make your phone s-off and flash something wrong or incorrectly you could end up bricking your phone completely.

So before I try to help you gain s-off I would like to know why it is you think you need it? What do you want to do that can't be done with s-on?

And to answer your questions about Rom and kernels.

Rom refers to the software (Android OS) you have running on your phone weather it be Stock kitkat or Jelly bean or Custom Kitkat or jellybean. The word Rom refers to your Android OS.

The Kernel in its most basic description is like the brain of your software. It controls many software and hardware related functions on your phone.

I assume your using the Stock Kernel since you wouldn't get that message from rumrunner with a custom kernel.

If you could post your getvar all it would be very helpful. Boot your phone to the bootloader, and connect fastbootusb

Then in the fastboot command window type,

fastboot getvar all

You should get an output showing all the version information for your device.

Please post it here but edit out the serial and imei numbers. Thanks :good:

No worries with kernel. The bios is Legacy and is all great since update to 14.0.4.1 Ubuntu. Loving life with Linux

Also, I have to press f12 on boot up and while it brings me to the exact same "selection screen" for Linux or Windows, safe mode, etc.. It boots any selection with no errors getting there via f12 on boot vs leaving it to time out to selection screen.

Saw a YouTube video the other day and sure enough was accurate for me at least.

Hey I'm just going to throw this out there but most custom ROMS have BusyBox built into them. Seems like a lot of trouble to install an app that at least in my case installed itself when I pressed " install " with the Pro version I Purchased and have since deleted because it's built in to every custom ROM I use,

Yes that's kind of frustrating for the record since it wasn't cheap but whatever I guess.

Maybe you have a specific need for it on a rooted stock ROM that I didn't? Anyway best of luck with what you're trying to get accomplished there, just remember if you're planning on a custom ROM, it will likely be embedded in the ROM already.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok so to explain a little further if you have the original stock Rom and kernel (the android software originally supplied with the phone out of the box).

Your system is probably still write protected even though you have root. Write protection is built in to the Kernel so to remove the stock write protection you can flash a modified kernel.

Most custom roms come with a modified Stock Kernel with write protection disabled or,

You can Download Elemental x 17.0 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249774

And install it with your custom recovery. In some cases after successful install of a kernel the phone may power off instantly, don't panic. Just hold the power button for 60 sec to reboot the phone. Otherwise the installer will return to twrp so just reboot normally.

You should then be able to successfully write files to the system partition. Although the Stock Rom (Android 4.4.3) will be odexed. Odexing prevents you from removing bloatware apps supplied on the device. But shouldn't cause any other issues

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok firstly you do not need to relock your bootloader. That is one of the main reasons for being s-off so you don't need to relock to flash firmware and ruu's.

Confirming your firmware version is not so easy because you appear to have used a version of twrp (possibly 2.7.1.1) that has the misc partition bug. So your os version is no longer visible in the getvar out put.

Personally I think the safest way to update your device is with OTA updates.

Download this ruu, boot your phone to the bootloader and connect fastbootusb. Then run the ruu on your pc.

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...20_10-40-1150-04_release_326691_signed_2-exe/

This will return your device completely to stock software. Your bootloader will remain Unlocked and your device will remain s-off but your Rom and recovery will be Stock and unrooted.

Reboot the phone and take ota updates up to the latest version (there will be a lot ;) ) if you don't get a notification to update. Go to Settings>About and check for updates to force it. Once you have all the updates flash your custom recovery.

important - Make a nandroid backup of the stock Rom before you root it. You may need it for future updates.
