Hello to the whole XDA Community!!

I hope that you can help me in two small issues with my HTC One.

I bought and HTC One M7 AT&T version via Amazon in October 2013. I am extremely happy of having made that decision last year. I live outside the US, so AT&T doesn't have any coverage in my country. I was able to update to 4.3 early this year only downloading a file, however for me is not possible to update to 4.4. I am stuck at 3.17.502.3 software version. I would like to update to 4.4 and Sense 6. Do you guys have any idea what I can do with this?

And there is one other issue on which would like some light. Today my phone suddenly stopped vibrating!! I don't know what to do about this! I mean, it hasn't fallen to the floor not even once, I keep it from humidity and I don't overcharge it. If someone has any idea on what to do with this I would be forever in their debt!

Thank you!

A newbie again

I have posted this before but no comments. I have been off this rooting thing and messing with the M7 for some time and forgot a lot of stuff. I want to revert to the factory ATT M7 from the GPE conversion with H-Boot 1.54 can it be done ? If so what are the links for instructions , I have searched and Googled but only can find ways to go from stock to the conversion and mostly on the M8 .

SuperCID

If your device is S-OFF, you can change to SUPERCID and install any RUU that match MID. If your modelid or cidnum doesn't match, will result in error and nothing will be flashed

Some Questions

Hi! So I have learned to root, unlock bootloader and gain S-off on my phone. Then, to return my phone for repairs, I returned the phone to stock, gained S-on and locked bootloader.

I have a few questions to help clear my understanding of things:

1. My phone got the red tampered sign on the HTC splash screen "this build is for development purposes only". I've searched a bit and found out this can be countered by replacing the hboot images with the non-tampered ones. Thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2481277

I have the International version. This thread is for Verizon. Can I use these hboots for my phone? Does OS matter if my hboot version is correct?

Can I backup images from my hboot before I make any modifications to my phone? Kind of like a backup, so I can revert to it in case the red text shows again.

2. Unfortunately I did not do a Nandroid backup earlier. Now I've learnt we can backup, copy to computer and then flash the Nandroid backup to restore back to the original state. Can I restore back to my Nandroid backup (OS - 5.12.707. 104) even if I've put a custom rom of a different OS - say 5.11.401.10?

3. If I restore a Nandroid backup of the stock rom, will the splash screen still get the red developers build text? Or does the text show up if the bootloader had ever been unlocked?

4. If I make a Nandroid backup of my phone (as the phone came fresh out of the shop), does that make it a stock rom? Is that what people upload as stock roms for their OS and Hboots or is there a different way to create a rom?

Thanks in advance for the help! :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
To remove the red text you will need to go s-off again and flash a firmware to remove it. there is no way to do it with the device s-on.

I suggest you take a look at this guide here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541082

The Verizon has some different hardware to international i think so I wouldn't flash anything for it to your device (especially hboot)you may damage something.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
1. Don't try it if you like your phone. And no, you can't back up hboot. I think the phone won't even boot to fastboot if you screw it up.

2. Yes

3. The red text is because the phone is S-Off. I think if you S-On again, it goes away.

4. Yes, if you also install the stock recovery (and have never installed a modded hboot). But you can't make a complete nandroid backup unless you start with an old phone that has a working temproot exploit. The new ones can't be rooted (and thus can't make a nandroid backup) without wiping out an important directory, /data/preload. And these backups could be used to create a ROM .zip, but they are not the same. The ROM .zip installer is more like a .zipped list of files, and a script that determines how they should be installed.

Hi, well I need your help with an issue that I'm having.

I have an htc one m7 black from sprint and I want to sim unlock it but the issue that I have is that I was trying to unlock the bootloader and when I restarted the phone my computer didnt recognize it anymore! the phone does charges whenever I plug it into the computer or anywhere else, but non computer recognize it, I have try it on mac and windows. I have try to enable usb debuggin and it didnt recognize it either, I have try with different cables or cords and didnt worked, I also try to factory unlock it and nothing. So my questions are... I want to unlock it,

is it possible to fix the usb port? I think its a software issue on the phone since I was trying to unlock the bootlader and i failed because it didnt unlock.

Is posible to root wireless, i mean not using the usb cable/cord?

or since its from sprint, how can I unlock it from IMEI I want to use it to GSM, since when I put my sim card it doesnt ask me for the imei unlock code. What can I do? I'll be checking this, I'll be so grateful for you to help me please!!

Hi

I have an M7 International Version and am rooted and on TWRP 2.6.3.3. It's S-On and running ARHD 70.0. What I've learnt is that when flashing custom ROMs, the radio firmware doesn't get upgraded. Do I need to go back to stock, flash stock recovery and relock my bootloader and then install the OTA to upgrade my firmware? I don't want to S-Off. Kindly let me know if I'm right.

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Sprint can unlock it (if they want or if you convince them), or you can root and attain S-Off to probably be able to unlock it. You need to use USB to achieve root/S-Off, and if the phone can't be detected even in fastboot mode, it's a hardware problem, not software. (Or none of the computers had correct drivers, but that seems unlikely if you tried more than one computer.) There's actually a root exploit called weaksauce that I think is run via an APK, but I don't know if that's for your phone. I thought it was verizon, but I don't remember. How are you trying to connect? How do you know the connection isn't working? Finally, there's a separate forum for Sprint users, because the phone's hardware is different than what we're using in this forum. They may be able to give more specific advice. And finally, there may be other ways to root, using special equipment. But I don't know about that.

Correct. To do it without S-Off, you need to find an equal or newer RUU for your region (CID). If you can't, you may need to get S-Off to accomplish what you're describing. You can also search for a nandroid backup of the stock system for your region, but you need to make sure it contains /data/preload (it probably doesn't). If this is missing, the OTA update can't succeed. Though you can find and install the files that go in that directory one by one, then apply the OTA, but that process would take a lot of time.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
you don't need to go s-off to update your firmware, as long as the firmware you flash is for you devices mid + cid and it is an update.

You only need s-off to downgrade or to flash custom firmware. If you can find an ota.Zip for your phone you can just extract the firmware.Zip and flash it with Fastboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maneck35:
So by just flashing the newer version of ARHD or any other custom ROM, my firmware and Radio get updated as well, right?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
No flashing ARHD or any other Rom will not update your firmware or radio. you have to do this manually by flashing a firmware.zip or reverting to stock to take OTAs.

But contrary to popular belief you do not need to be s-off to flash a firmware.zip as long as it's the right firmware for your device and it's an update not a downgrade.

If you could post a getvar, I should be able to link firmware for your device.

Do I need to revert to stock recovery and relock my bootloader before flashing the firmware.zip as well?

Edit: Found the answer to my questions in the M8 forum. Posting link for anybody else who needs help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

Just the FAQ is relevant.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
So your options are fairly good you could flash this reset.zip from here http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/ which will reset you to stock recovery + Rom and let the ota update your device. Just make a nandroid backup of your current Rom. Flash the reset.zip take all the ota updates. Then reflash custom recovery and restore your nandroid. Job done :)

Or you could manually flash the firmware.zips from this link.

http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/401/

you will need to start with the 3.62.401.1 and work your way through the 4.19.401.8, 4.19.401.9, 4.19.401.11 and finishing of with 5.11.401.10.

Don't skip any as you risk causing problems. And yes you will need to relock your bootloader. you should also backup your sd card contents it shouldn't get wiped but backup is never a bad idea. Here are instructions for flashing.

Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)

Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet)

Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Type: fastboot reboot

Unlock your bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and flash custom recovery. Important note you must have stock kernal or fastboot oem unlock won't work and you will need to unlock with the unlock_code.bin you got from HTCdev. This will wipe your phone including sd card. fastboot oem unlock wont.

See this thread about flashing firmware it's where I learnt about this ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maneck35:
Thanks a ton! The first method worked like a charm. Although, note that my SD card did get wiped even though I didn't need to relock my bootloader. After the first OTA update, the phone restarted and booted up into the previous firware without updating, so I just ran the OTA update again, and it worked after that. Thanks a ton, seriously. Anybody doing this, please take nandroid backups and backups of your external storage.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
[emoji106] I like the ota method it takes longer than flashing firmware.zips but is a bit safer because if something does go wrong you already have stock software + the problem is caused by official ota update so leaves you in a good position for a warranty claim if its needed.

Glad it worked out for you :) strange how your sd card was wiped though that has never happened for me but it's why I recommend too backup first ;)

Hey all. Needed some help getting my phone settings back to the way they were before I did the factory reset. I was using the stock Rom and twrp for recovery. Before I accidentally reset it the phone kept restarting itself again and again. Wanted to use recovery though did a factory reset instead (accidentally). Now I can't access boot loader or recovery.

Ok so if i understand you correctly. Your phone was bootlooping, so you went into the bootloader to boot into recovery but selected the wrong option and Factory Reset from the bootloader menu? Now you cant get into the bootloader or recovery but yor rom is still intact is this correct.

What method are you using to boot the bootloader and what happens when you try it? Does your phone still boot to the installed rom?

if that works re-download the ruu and check md5 matches if it's ok try flashing again. Note first flash should only prepare the ruu, you have to flash a second time to actually flash the ruu to the phone.

If the above doesn't work have you tried hard resetting the phone to get back to the bootloader?

Hi there, thank you for the advice, I'm the epitome of a noob unfortunately, and I fear that I will more than likely, ask some more incredibly stupid questions in this post, lol. I checked me CID, and it is ORANG001, while my software version is 1.28.61.7. So, that would mean I wouldn't be able to flash a stock OTA or RUU, I think(?) :)

Which leads me on to my next question, I've seen Android Revolution HD have released a new version of their custom ROM which is based on 1.29.401.13, and has a myriad of enhancements and tweaks above the Stock ROM. Now, it doesn't say that none .401 based phones cannot flash the ROM, but that it would be advisable to "wipe data inside AROMA". What does that mean exactly, and how do I go about doing it, as I really want to get this software update up and running :)

EDIT - Also, it talks about a bug which does not allow LTE on the phone, and the creator of the ROM says it can be fixed by changing the updater-script. Would anyone be willing to help me on that also?

Thank you so much again, if possible.

Many thanks, and sorry again for the stupid questions.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt95:
that means you need to find a mathcing CID nandroid backup or a RUU for your version main... none of these are available unfortunately
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClydeB1:
No worries mate, we all were noobs once ;). This is what this thread is meant for.

You can't flash a stock ruu or ota unless it matches your cid or region code (ie ORANG001 and x.xx.61.x) or unless you can s-off your device. You can however flash a custom rom that is based on any version rom, so a custom rom using 1.29.401 can be flashed with an unlocked bootloader. Aroma is a neat little tool that allows you to choose parameters during the flash process and one of the options is to wipe the data on your device. When you flash the rom using recovery, Aroma will kick in and present you with options that the dev has included for his rom.

As for the LTE bug, there should be assistance on the rom thread to help with that, unless of course someone here uses the same rom and has done the fix.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar01709:
Brilliant. Thank you ever so much and I've just seen on the Android Revolution HD thread that a new version will be released today which will solve that particular LTE bug, so I'll wait for that to be released tonight and I'll flash it :)
