I'll speculate: In theory, nothing should go wrong if you don't unlock and don't get S-Off. Because HTC builds checks into all their packages so you shouldn't be able to install anything that's not compatible. In practice, I think installing third party ROMs is very safe (safer than HTC software) because it won't overwrite any firmware or hidden partitions. But if that doesn't sound fun to you, installing HTC software (a RUU or .zip) via USB and fastboot is also a very safe thing to do, and doesn't require unlocking. But you can also google "htc how to install OTA". The procedure is probably the same for all their recent phones--they have no reason to change a technology that's working fine (and has been reused already).

When I was on Sense, I was able to double tap the home button to get a grid of apps that were on. I would be able to swipe these apps to fully close them. Does anyone know if this is available in the Cyanogenmod 11? Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3alaawi:
You're sd card will not be wiped. Pictures, music, downloads etc all remain. things like apps, settings, app data are lost. i.e. when you plug your phone into a computer and browse the storage, all of that is untouched.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tozacchi:
Sorry, figured it out. Just hold home button down. New to Android since my first experience was with Sense. Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Sure is. And it's even better: on CM11 or stock, you can long-press an app to get to the app info screen, which lets you uninstall or force-close the app, or even prevent it from making notifications. (Force-close is stronger than swiping apps out of the recent apps menu--for example, force-close will work on an app that is hanging.)

The directory /sdcard/ (this is the same as /data/media/0) is safe, *unless* you wipe by:

- unlocking the bootloader,

- factory resetting from settings menu, or

- wiping data from the *stock* recovery or fastboot menu

- maybe flashing a full RUU (I'm not sure)

If you want to install a custom ROM, that data is safe. If you want to do one of the things I mentioned above, you should copy all the data to your computer. And either way, to preserve app data you should use Titanium Backup (and a nandroid backup, to be safe, preferably using TWRP).

1. If you're protecting the phone by using a unlock code/password (more than 4 characters), is using an App that password protects other Apps a waste of time ?

i.e. any of these

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=App+Protector+Pro

2. I've noticed that when charging the One, I look at it's charging progress by switching on the phone.

And it shows 100%, but when I disconnect it and check it again, it's around 90%.

Is that normal, or because the phone is new, I need to go through a few charging cycles ?

Thank you.

It's while your on that screen that pressing Power + Volume Up should show the recovery options.

It may take a few attempts to access the options though, as it's not too intuitive and took me a few attempts when getting ready to apply an OTA aswell :)

Not sure if I understand you correctly.

Is the phone currently locked/unlocked/relocked and s-on/s-off?

To receive official updates (OTA), just leave your phone as it is (locked and s-on).

Or do you mean that you want to flash a custom (higher Android version) ROM?

There are a quite a few guides on returning to 100% stock.

Try [GUIDE] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock

Then you can get official OTA.

But IMHO, I wouldn't do that unless it is to send the phone back for warranty.

It's quite a long process. Any small mistake could lead to big consequences.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
You can check /proc/last_kmsg for a log in the case of auto-reboot. If you don't see anything obvious in there, try using Titanium Backup to change the app into a system app.

You want to install the stock recovery, and I'm not sure if you need to relock. Searching for stock recovery "htc one" should get you started. Also try "relock htc one for ota". Recovery will be a .img file that you flash using fastboot. If you relock, it's probably just a simple fastboot command (maybe "fastboot oem lock" or "fastboot oem relock").

What recovery are you using? If you are unlocked and updateing via recovery reflash, shouldn't you treat it as a regular install and flash the boot.img? Again I don't know you're custom recovery name
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Which recovery and version are you using? A ROM installation shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

Re-locking means you can't install custom recoveries. As far as other side effects, I'm not sure, but when you unlock it again after re-locking, that definitely wipes your phone.

htc one no operating system

hi all,ive had my htc one for just over a month and decided to try out rooting the phone.

I have tried flashing a new ROM hd revolution for the one,it installed perfectly but then when I rebooted it still goes back to the twrp frozen screen rather than the new ROM,how do I get the phone to boot normally? if it busted I will be taking it back to my local Three store for an exchange,ive looked at other posts but cant find anything on it,sorry.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
The most likely thing it needed before was for you to wipe its cache and dalvik cache (this is done from TWRP in the "advanced wipe" menu). Now that you've also installed another ROM, in addition you'll need a factory reset (wiping data WITHOUT wiping /sdcard). You may be able to avoid this step if you reinstall the original ROM (the stock HTC OS, I mean).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baconwich:
Here's what may be a dumb question: I can get a fairly cheap HTC One on ebay listed as "Unit has a short battery life". I can get a replacement battery also fairly cheaply. I did this with a BlackBerry Q10 (bad keyboard, rather than battery), though it was pretty much super easy to get apart and back together in about 20 minutes.

No way of knowing yet exactly what's wrong with the battery, mind, but I'm sure they did fairly thorough testing before declaring it bad.

I've read the iFixit teardown of the phone, after making a (rather unreasonably small) bid on the phone, and suspect that I may have made a huge mistake.

So, battery replacement. Probably replace the casing with the black or the red while I'm at it, for ****s and giggles. (My wife says I get off on tinkering)

Am I crazy, or is this an achievable goal?

Update failing

Hi there,

So here's the thing my girlfriend has a HTC one (international version) which is currently on 4.1.2. The update for 4.2.2 popped up, she downloaded and tried to install. The update downloads as it should but a minute or so into installation a red triangle with an exclamation mark comes on screen. At this point the install aborts. The phone has is not rooted nor has it been rooted previously. Any help would be much appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Depending on where you bought your phone (which vendor and which country), you might just want to leave it the way it is. It's not ethical and may not be legal for them to refuse to fix a hardware issue because you've changed the software (and you clearly haven't ****ed with the firmware). If you don't think this is gonna fly, you'll need to use rumrunner to get S-Off, then you'll need to search for instructions on how to remove the "tampered" (and eventually relock and remove the "relocked" notice).

That red triangle is part of the stock Android recovery system. What I would try if I were you is to manually download the 4.1.2->4.2.2 OTA update (you'll need to look hard for it--it needs to come from HTC originally, and probably needs to match your phone's CID (you may also need to search for how to get the phone's CID--it involves using fastboot and USB, but there may be an easier way)). If you can find the OTA (either online or downloaded somewhere on the phone's filesystem), you can manually boot into recovery (stock, not custom) and try to install it. The recovery is operated by combinations of power and volume keys. It has no instructions, but you can find that online.

No OS..

I accidently wiped my Internal drive when I was trying to fix a boot loop and now I have no OS and I can't figure out how to get a ROM onto my phone because I can't mount USB OTG for some reason and I can't find the right RUU for my phone (Telus). Its unlocked and rooted just can't figure out how to get the stock Sense 5 back on so for the time being I can't use it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
You have a ROM you want to flash, right? I suggest ARHD 40.3, but you can choose any. I assume you still have a custom recovery? If you want to flash a KitKat ROM, you need the newest version--it's best to update to TWRP 2.6.3.3. Otherwise, you can use whichever custom recovery you like. Now,

- boot the phone into recovery

- wait half a minute

- connect the phone to USB

- If using CWM (I'm not sure if CWM can flash KitKat yet), make sure /data is mounted

- make sure you have ADB installed and configured on your computer by running "adb devices" and seeing your phone's device ID listed

- run this command, modifying it to account for any different location/path to the ROM you want to flash:

adb push ROM-name.zip /sdcard/

If this fails with "no such file or directory" (unlikely), try running

adb shell mkdir /data/media ; adb shell mkdir /data/media/0

, reboot the phone, and try again.

Now the ROM installer is on /sdcard. Find it in recovery and install. Good luck, and let us know if you have problems.

No data

Thanks this is pretty helpful, but I am stuck. When I posted this message I had locked my bootloader so I could use an RUU (Following a guide) so I went and unlocked it again and went back to recovery and I don't have a Data in the mount section anymore, (Im using twrp not CWM) Near the bottom it says decrypt and in order to do that I need to enter in a password. Before I locked it I didnt have this problem and I had the Data in the mount section, I don't know what I should do to get past this point but I already have the abd files from the unlock/root and I have ARHD. I googled it and people were talking about rebooting the device but I dont have an OS so im clueless.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
This is getting to be out of my league as well. Is your TWRP up to date? If so, you need to figure out what's making TWRP think the device is encrypted. You can also try formatting /data (not just wiping, formatting is more thorough). If TWRP doesn't let you, do it manually using adb shell. (Be careful not to format the wrong partition, but you can't get much more ****ed than you already are.) If you still can't figure out why TWRP thinks the device is encrypted, you should contact the authors and power-users via an IRC channel--probably #twrp on freenode. Or maybe there's a forum or way you could e-mail them. Once you know, we should be able to fix it manually with ADB.

First of all, are you using TWRP 2.6.3.3? If not, are you at least using a fairly recent recovery version? And did ADB ever work on that computer with your phone? I wonder if there's a driver you need to install. I didn't need a driver on OSX or Linux, but Windows may be a different story.

Also, I've often found I need to wait 30 seconds after recovery boots before attaching the cable to the phone.

You can disregard my first advice and just follow the guide--if your filesystem is corrupted, you should repair it before pushing a ROM to the phone. In the guide, what failed? The first thing I would try, by the way, is to boot to recovery and use ADB to run the "mkfs" command from the guide. Then reboot (again, to recovery) and run the two "mkdir" commands, but run them as two separate commands (instead of semicolon, hit return and type the other half as a new command). Then push the file. If this doesn't work, hopedfully you can tell us wthich step failed and which error message it failed with. Sorry this is ending up to be so complex.

If you formated, then you removed everything, there is nothing left on the phone to go to. The best you can do that I can think of is sideload a rom to get back to an operating system. What you should have done and think to do it in the future is flash boot.img from that rom that was on there after the update. Go to your phone section in the forums and look for a rom that will work on your phone and flash it. There are links in the forums when the phone is wiped clean.
