I've been fighting with this phone for about 4 days now and hope someone can help :p.

I got it 2nd hand and it was in a boot/reset loop trying to install an update.

I didn't get a nand backup when i first got it - (which is a mistake i won't make again)

it was showing this when I first got it from fastboot getvar all:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.56.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.23.3263.28

(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) version-microp: None

(bootloader) version-main: 4.20.841.1

I managed to flash CM-12 onto it and noticed the NFC wasn't working so started looking for updates

I'm pretty fluent with adb and fastboot now having flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-m7univ.img and the Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.841.1.zip a number of times.

the phone is S-ON - I've tried running the sunshine app to get S-OFF but it says it needs something "closer to stock" (whataever that means)

It also has the TAMPERED flag on it - I remember reading about it somewhere but have forgotten what it means

With the Guru reset applied I get the next OTA in line which is this

OTA_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE55_MR_Telstra_WWE_3.62.841.1-2.24.841.1_release_338166x6oi2fjar9q8k750.zip

I've manged to pull out the firmware and tried to flash it but get :

I do this to apply it:

fastboot oem lock

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot reboot

I've tried using htc_fastboot as well without success.

I managed to use the misctool to rename the version-main lower but now get stuck on an hboot check, I'm guessing the hboot comes from version 4 or 5?

I've downloaded PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Telstra_WWE_7.21.841.5_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_425298_signed.zip

(winrar says it's corrupted, but I've managed to repair/rebuilt it "apparently")

but when I try it says the file is too large 1.5 GB (ish) to be applied

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>htc_fastboot flash zip rebuilt.zip

sending 'zip'... (1584489 KB) FAIL02 data length is too large

FAILED (data size is too large(1584489 KB) for device to download ZIP file 'rebuilt.zip'

)

Execution time is 7(ms)

So it appears I'm stuck between an hboot version which is too high and a main-version which is too low and can't find any OTAs (or firmware) to apply.

I've tried applying a higher stock Recovery.img but that just put it into a boot loop where it would show the white screen with green HTC for a couple of seconds, switch off, buzz and wake up to the white screen again.

(I think it was trying to apply this one by itself at the time:

OTA_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE55_MR_Telstra_WWE_3.62.841.1-2.24.841.1_release_338166x6oi2fjar9q8k750.zip )

Maybe I applied the wrong stock recovery.img?

I'm not sure if I should use version 3, 4, 5 - (I think I used recovery_6.11.841.9.img in the hope it would jump the end or just do them in order.)

Does the recovery.img have the required hboot version in it?

I understand I've got to keep to the .841. number for the TELST001 CID .

Does anybody have a TWRP backup or something I can use please or any other suggestions?

cheers :eek:
