HTC One M7 Recent Issues

Hey guys,

I have an AT&T HTC One M7 that I purchased several months ago that recently seems to have developed a pretty serious issue. I was pushed an OTA update about a week ago and everything seemed fine until today when I tried to turn on Bluetooth. Bluetooth and Wifi would not even turn on at all (not the connection issue I found most when Googling). I was directed by HTC tech support to perform a factory reset of the device to no avail, and was told their only recommendation was to send my out of warranty phone in and pay as much as I had for the phone initially to fix it.

Since nothing traumatic has happened to phone between when it worked and today, I'm fairly sure the issue is software related not hardware related. What avenues do I have to attempt to repair the device? I have rooted a tablet in the past and am not opposed to that route, but it has been a while so I thought I would ask.

Thanks for reading!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
If your warranty has expired I would definitely recommend unlocking the bootloader and flashing a new rom. It might be worth checking to see if there's an ruu you can use.

With the correct ruu you can re flash without the need to unlock the bootloader. But as your warranty has expired an unlocked device will give you far more options. You can unlock your bootloader by going here www.htcdev.com you will need to register a free account then go to the unlock my bootloader section of the site and follow the instructions.

If you just want to flash an ruu and need help finding the correct one post the output of

fastboot getvar all

Please remove your IMEI and Serial numbers before posting, and ill see what's available for you :good:

Why no help?? Anything wrong?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Nothing wrong, it's a good question, it's probably just that no radio experts have looked at it yet. You might want to re-state your question saying what exact model you bought in the US ("developer edition"? AT&T? T-mobile?) and which specific country and carrier you are trying to get it to work with. Could be a baseband problem, but I'd be looking at hardware compatibility and APN settings first.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genericsauce:
So it seems I cannot install the OTA update, the bootloader is unlocked but I just flashed the stock recovery and installed all the preloaded files and even restored one of the stock TWRP backups but still it wont flash... What did I miss?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yougps:
Hi NxNW,

Thank you for your attention! I am new to the world of the cell changes. What i know about my phone is:

Kernel: 3.4.10-g4c37954 root @ abm016 # 1

Baseband: 4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L

Series number: FA34TW904448

I bought it because the seller claimed that this device is: HTC ONE M7 Silver - Factory Unlocked - International Version that works on frequency 2600 MHz for 4G conections.

If I use a ruu (do not know what that means) of asia and europe (which uses the 2600MHz frequency) would change the baseband on my phone?

My APN must be right because I use my 3G connection perfectly!

Thanks for your attention!

flash from pc

I flashed viper rom on android revolution and now my phone can't boot into system because all the files are gone (including backups). however, i can go to twrp recovery. can someone tell me how to flash a rom via PC?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
I can't answer your question without doing a lot of research, maybe someone else knows the best way to proceed.

Again, it will help if you reply with a specific carrier you want to test it with. If it is possible for you to determine your "part number" that would make things very clear what phone you got. (It's a code that looks something like "PN0712000" for example: I don't think you can find it just by looking in the phone UI, maybe there's an app that will tell you, and it's easy to find out if you have a computer with the Android SDK installed) Also note just because you get 3G does not necessarily mean your APN is correct for LTE. The hardware you are describing sounds like it is able do what you want. It may not even be necessary to flash a new radio ("baseband"). Could be very simple.

Ironically, while this thread was created for the exact purpose of reducing the number of new threads in Q&A, the fact that it is now a "sticky" thread means many xda experts (the ones best able to help) never see this thread because they use their phones to browse the xda forums and sticky threads don't show up on the mobile app unless you actively look for them.

So if no one provides any meaningful answers to you here, you could just start a thread in Q&A. It will actually get more eyeballs there.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yougps:
Thanks again friend.

An other friend found based with my baseband version and found that my device would PN07120.

Baseband: 4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L

Manufacturer: HTC

Model #: PN07120

Supported Technologies

and Frequency Bands:

E-UTRA FDD: Band 4/Band 17, GSM: 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS FDD: Band I/Band II/Band V

My baseband is the same except that the kernel version is different and my compilation number is different too. Does that mean something? If my model is PN07120 not work on 2600MHz frequency. But the seller swears it is the 2600 version.

Wifi Tethering

Hi, I've been a memeber a long time but short of swapping roms on previous phones i'm still a complete noob :) Question here is, I've moved to 3 from Giffgaff and although it's an unlimited data package I'd guess they are a lot stricter with anti tethering policies, my Transformer tablet was tetheres wirelessly to Both my San Fransisco and my Sensation without problem ... you heard right an Orange San F... (ZTE Blade) it may be old but its still in demand as a stand in by friends :) .. oh back to the questionIs there a decent WiFi tethering App that I can use that 3 wont detect?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
If your using a substantial amount of data and your numbers IP is being used or tethered to another IP then no not really, they will eventually block the offending IP, not to mention the MAC address if it's reported by the phone to 3 / giff gaff, however i've seen people absolutely rape their 3 and giff gaff and tmobile connections for tethering for years and nothing has happened at all, yet some sly tethering on the same networks from other people has got them blocked. So i guess it's a case of luck, you could try mac spoofing, not 100% what is reported back to the networks.

Not sure about TWRP as it's not a recovery i've used on the One but it did used to have USB storage allowed to connect to the PC, if this is still the case then copy a rom to the phone when you mount the SD card from TWRP.

If not then i guess the only way would be to flash an official RUU onto the phone via the PC.

It could be possible to push a rom to the phone via ADB Push too.

~AFAIK anyway.

I am having trouble with Whatsapp.

When I clear the unread messages from the notification center, and don't open it in the app either, the notification reappears in the Notification Center on its own and no matter how many times I clear it, it reappears after some time.

I purchased the HTC One from India only and just wanted to find out if others are also facing the same problem. It may not be a concern for many, but it irritates me a lot.

I have tried re-installing the app and the problem still exists.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colmustrd:
Hi,

To unlock your device you need to slide up from the bottom, I am not aware of a single tap stock unlock mechanism.

With regards to the icons that are docked, you can't drag them out of the dock unless the Application drawer is open (tap the middle icon in the dock, the one that looks like a grid of three by three square dots)

Ok then your next step is to flash a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP. You can download it here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img

Place the .img file in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot.

fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Select recovery fromm the boot loader menu to load TWRP recovery.

You can download a stock Rom here

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/stock-rom-reset-developer-edition-t2915170 Thanks to [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION] :good:

Copy the zip to your device using MTP in TWRP. Then you can install the Rom by choosing "Install" from the TWRP main menu and selecting the Rom. If all goes smoothly that should get you up and running. Let me know how it goes :good:

I was able to load the ROM and everything appears to now be fully functional on my phone :D

Thanks so much for your help! Now before I start loading everything back onto my phone, Is there any advantage to rooting my device or using something besides the stock ROM I just loaded? I've never really investigated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Hi sorry for the wait, seems you worked it out anyway :)

Truth is, now you can flash any Rom you like so long as it's for the M7_ul. Stay away from Sprint and Verizon Roms they will brick your phone. But any International based Roms should work just fine. Glad you got it sorted :good:

There are always advantages to rooting. Especially when you have no warranty. You can root through twrp or just flash a pre rooted custom Rom.

Android Revolution and Maximus HD are both quality custom Roms worth trying. Both are close to stock but allow much more customization options. Or if you want to try something a little more heavily modified there are Roms like Viper Rom. There has been a lot of activity in the development of software for the M7 so there really is plenty to try out there. :)

So my problem still persist. Apps cant access nor read the SD Card.

Snapchat wont load videos, as it said it cant access SD Card

Instagram also can't use SD Card, similar notofication was notified.

tried the String

Nothing happen. Also tried the fix sd card from Venom Tweaks. Nothing happen

Also, the SELinux Permissive from Venom Tweaks seems to be causing an issue. Everytime I enable or disable it, the NFC crash (although ive disabled it, it still stopped)

Thanks for responding btw
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Cool glad you got it sorted. For the record I've found the newer versions of TWRP to be very tempremental when it comes to using adb in recovery. Also they seem to hang during rom installations a lot. Having said that I haven't used 2870 yet so see how it goes.

I love some of the new features of 2.8.x.x versions like MTP a and basic e2fsck for partition repairs. So I tend to use them as day to day recoveries. But if I run into issues like you had I normally flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 still in my opinion the most stable version.

Also it's worth checking your sdk is up to date. Older versions of adb can cause the errors you were seeing. "adb cannot ACK" and "protocol fail" can both be down to out of date sdk ;)

The /system partition is write protected by the stock kernel. Flash a custom kernel with /system read/write permission. Modifying /system files will also prevent ota updates installation, not really an issue if you are on latest version.

Make a backup and make sure you have a rom on the device to install once your finished.

To make the flashing easier download this and put it in your fastboot folder.

htc_fastboot

*https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550031

all of the firmware updates can be downloaded from the link below. To avoid a potential soft brick it is safest to flash all the updates in the correct order. Smallest number to highest.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32777

To flash the firmware zips put them in your fastboot folder. Open a fastboot command window and connect fastboot usb in the bootloader.* Flash the zip with the following commands

htc_fastboot erase cache
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip "name-of-firmware".zip
htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader

Repeat the commands for each of the firmware updates until you have flashed them all you don't need to erase cache everytime though just the first is fine ;). Once your done reflash TWRP and install a rom or restore from a backup

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
It works like this. Firmware version numbers using 2.24.401.1 as an example.

2.24. this is the firmware base version. This only increases for a major update

401. this refers to carrier branding. 401 is HTC unbranded. T-mobile, Orange, Vodafone and other carriers all have a unique number.

.1 the last number indicates minor updates to the firmware base version

So you need to flash in this order

2.24.401.1

2.24.401.8

3.62.401.1

4.19.401.8

4.19.401.9

4.19.401.10

Hi Danny,

Well I'm here. I got the updates...all including and after the one you mentioned in the other thread.

I got the HTC file in your link. You say to have a ROM on the SD, is this any rom or does it have to be a certain one?

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Any rom will do, or you can use a nandroid backup. Only because the firmware will replace the stock recovery and stock boot.img so any rom installed will not boot.

So after flashing the firmware you will need to flash twrp. And restore a rom.

Alternatively if you already have ARHD 92 installed you can extract the boot.img from ARHD92's zip file and flash it with fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

this will overwrite the stock boot.img and ARHD will boot again. :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zach181:
OK,

So...

Flash firmwares

Flash recovery

Flash new ROM

I have some TWRP .img files (new) and as I only put ARHD on yesterday, nothing spoiling if I start again. I could use the backup I did just after install but not needed really.

Are there any files/programs I need to make sure are on the Win7 x64 PC or locking bootloader before I start. Some posts I've read say it must be locked, others don't mention it.

Thanks again for the help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
No special software required apart from adb/htc_fastboot and HTC Drivers.

HTC sync can cause problems when flashing firmware and ruu's if you have it installed it's best to uninstall it. Other than that you should be good to go.

There is no need to re lock your bootloader. That's one of the advantages of having s-off. You can flash everything while being unlocked ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
It's normal to see the pre update fail errors. Because the hboot needs to be updated before the firmware. When you flash the hboot is updated but needs to be restarted before the firmware is flashed. So you get the pre update fail, device reboots and then flashes the firmware.

It all looks good in your getvar. Your all done :)

Check that adb is working in recovery. Connect your usb cable while in TWRP and type this into a fastboot command window

adb devices

You should get a small output showing Your devices serial number.

If that works put the rom in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip then in the command window type

adb push rom.zip /sdcard

The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete. When it's done install the rom with twrp.
