bootloader not unlocked with htcdev

can u help me for repair it ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
if it's s-on with a locked bootloader their is nothing we can do for you till it's unlocked and has custom recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
This ^^^^ pretty much :( There is no RUU you can use with s-on. Also if i'm not mistaken HTCdev won't work to Unlock the bootloader because its GPE. [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] can you confirm this or will HTCdev work with 1.54 GPE?

So you need to use Sunshine which requires a booting Stock Rom. :( Do you have Warranty on the device?

EDIT:-

I did find an OTA Download, You can try to flash the firmware.zip from this. But it won't defintley get your phone booting it depends what's wrong exactly, but it sounds like a Rom issue so don't get your hopes up just yet ;) https://www.dropbox.com/s/l4y0lntrbx2i8ah/M7_GPE_4.09.1700.1_Firmware.zip?dl=0

MD5: 8de6aed3c749ac180ca9cda735b5a8ae

Download the zip and check the md5. Drop it in your fastboot folder and rename it firmware.zip. then flash it with fastboot.

In the command window type the following commands.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

**--- Case sensative ---^^^

Your device should boot to a black screen with a Silver HTC logo. This is RUU mode. We can now flash the firmware. In the command window type

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash will be short, and will appear to fail. Thats normal its just a pre update preparing the hboot for the firmware so we need to do the same command again.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will take a little longer and will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal. As long as the command window has finished its output its done. Reboot to the bootloader.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Reboot the device :fingers-crossed:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Defiantly worth a try for sure.

I don't know for sure it's still a problem but I know there was an issue for GPE bootloaders not unlocking with either method after the 4.4 update or something like that. They were hoping this latest update would fix it but I don't believe it did. I thought originally this was just a problem for botched conversions that were relocked and then wouldn't unlock again. But recently learned this is a problem for genuine stock GPE devices :( There's a thread about it here. I linked to post #9 because it was the most relevant one :good:

---------- Post added at 02:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 AM ----------

Actually scratch that he must of unlocked on the latest firmware. Even if he was unlocked before he would have needed to relocked to flash the firmware updates.

Again thinking about it he maybe used an earlier reset zip and took OTA's. So it's possible he did unlock before hand.

bricked

Hello, I have a very big problem with my HTC One M7, it's bricked with Hboot 1.57, tampered , relocked, No recovery, no rom and s-on.

I tried to flash a stock RUU.exe

For flashing it I had to lock the bootloader. So I run the ruu.exe and it deleted all from my phone and stuck on "Cheking header - 5%). When I rebooted the phone it was only with bootloader.

I tried to unlock it again but after unlocking i tries to get to recovery. But I don't have recovery. If I try to flash a recovery the phone should be unocked. I'm in a circle.

Please help me with this issue. I want to get back with working phone.

I have read all the threads in the forum about bicked htc one m7 but nothing helped me.

There's not a lot else we can do unless you can unlock your bootloader. You can try with the

fastboot oem unlock

command.

If that doesn't work try www.htcdev.com method. :good:

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Ok a little confusing but I'm sure we can do something here :good:

I don't know which ruu you tried but it was the wrong one because there is no RUU that will work for you with s-on.

What is the current status of your bootloader unlocked or relocked? We are going to need it unlocked.

I'm so sorry i opened i thead while I could post my question here... i'll repost that here and if mods want they can close my thread...

I've been on my htc one for a while and now i'm moving to lg g3, i wanted to restore my one to his stock status but i can't use RUU, i get error 158.

i'm using RUU M7 UL K44 SENSE55 MR HTC Europe 4.19.401.9 R Radio 4A.23.3263.28 10.38r.1157.04L Release 353069 Signed 2-1.

i tryied to modify CID to HTC_032 (because it was tmobile one, but my phone is the european version) and i checked model id via fastboot wich is PN0710000 (so that's right), I also relocked my phone and checked RUU's MD5 but the problem still occur. what am i missing?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yeah that's the bit that confused me too.

So your in the bootloader connected with fastboot usb. In the command window you type the command to flash the Unlock_code.bin

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

At this point you should get the unlock screen on your phone to select yes or no.

So at what point during the procedure does the phone try to go into recovery.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yeah you need to flash a firmware package then get a new Unlock_code.bin from htcdev. But to do it safely we need to know your current firmware version.

Because your s-on you can't downgrade so we need firmware that matches your current firmware or updates it. Based on the fact your on hboot 1.57 it could be anyone of these

5.11.401.10.zip

6.09.401.5.zip

6.09.401.10.zip

6.09.401.11.zip

6.09.401.12.zip

Do you know which you were on?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zHi5k0:
Well, before I brick the phone i used a guru reset tool Stock rom 2.24.401.8 (Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.401.8.zip) with graphical aroma installer. Then I tried to updatethe phone to 4.4.3 (OTA update notmal) but without locking the bootloader and.. the phone was in bootloop. I don't know which version of firmware is it. Now the phone has no operating system, at least doesn't show such. So the last firmware version before the Guru Reset Tool was 6.09.401.10.zip as I remember.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok that makes some sense, you probably have a minor firmware incompatiblity that's causing this problem.

Download this firmware zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Rename it "firmware.zip"

http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/6.09.401.11.zip

Reboot the phone into the bootloader and connect fastbootusb.

In the fastboot command line type.

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU

**---case sensitive ---^^^

Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

When that's done go to htcdev.com and go through the entire unlock my bootloader to get a new Unlock_code.bin then use it to Unlock your bootloader. :good:

The firmware will also restore your Stock Recovery, so after the unlock you will need to flash a new custom recovery.

Use this recovery

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

Download and put the file in your fastboot folder rename it recovery.img and use these commands to flash the recovery.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then select recovery from the bootloader menu to boot TWRP Recovery :good:

Put the stock Rom zip in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip

While on the TWRP home screen connect your usb cable. In the command window type

adb push rom.zip /sdcard

The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete (Several Minutes) When its done Install the Rom with TWRP recovery.

When its done Reboot system the device should boot as normal.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

Sorry man, I wish I could tell you otherwise, but there's really nothing you can do at this point.

With s-on you can't downgrade your firmware so you can't use an older RUU. And the latest one is not available.

With the bootloader locked you can't flash a Rom of any kind. So that's no use. The only way to Unlock your bootloader is Sunshine app but it requires a working stock Rom.

You can send it to service for repair but they will probably charge you since its out if warranty. I assume you ended up this way after an OTA update failed?

Well your in the M7 forums, but i can tell you their is no fix send the phone to HTC for repair
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
To be honest I wouldn't risk it just yet. The Rom is 6.09.401.5 and your firmware is 6.09.401.11

Ideally you nee to be on a 6.09.401.10 or .11 Rom to be 100% sure the OTA won't cause further problems. But I couldn't find one the 6.09.401.5 was closest I could find.

However you could manually flash the the last 6.09.401.12 firmware (would require relocked bootloader) then install a Stock based custom Rom. Like ARHD or MaximusHD. You shouldn't have any issues unlocking with the same unlock code again though.

That issue was caused by trying to install the OTA's on the 2.xx.401.x reset zip. The first OTA would have been 3.xx.401.x which is a downgrade and not possible with s-on and probably why you ended up in a bootloop.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
If the device is s-off you can do basically anything you want. With in reason and as long as it's done properly.

But yes you could easily flash the firmware that matches your current stock Rom and safely take OTA's.

You could even manually download and install the OTA's your self.

Change to a different firmware altogether. Want a GPE you can convert with s-off. You can use any M7_ul RUU. you can change your CID and your MID. Custom firmware oh!!! And best of all you can do all this without having to ever relock your bootloader again, the sky's the limit.

But if your gonna do it make sure you spend some time reading up on the in's and out's of flashing stuff with s-off.

Today we saved your device from a soft brick. It not easy to totally screw up a phone that is s-on.

S-off is a different story, you can really hard brick your phone if your not careful. I don't want to put you off because s-off is a wonderful thing and can save you in many situations. But in the hands of a.... Excuse the term "flash happy noob" it's a brick waiting to happen.

There are plenty of guides and documentation about all the things I mentioned as long as you take the time to read and understand what you want to do before you do it you'll be fine. ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
obviously with the device not powering on it's very difficult to do anything, there's a good chance this is a Hardware failure. There are some things worth trying though. Did you flash any firmware or you were just restoring a nandroid and it died?

Open the Device Manger on your pc, connect and disconnect your device. Do you see any changes in device manager does your pc detect the device at all?

Hold a bright light over the sensors at the next to the top speaker grill. Hold Volume down+Power for 90+ seconds.

Try this with both charger connected and without. Failing that it is probably worth setting up Linux it may tell us more about what is up with your device.
