[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoncornelissen:
HI Guys,

I Kinda need some help from the unbrick service,

I have a HTC ONE M7 (bought in store, not in combination with my carrier) , I rooted it beginning this year to install some root-apps in combination with the default ROM. This went well without any problems.

After some months I got problems installing a new HTC update, got a message that I could download the image, I could install it but then it reboots and it failed. Perhaps the changed bootloader or something. Because of the annoying message that there was an update I decided to install a custom ROM.

After some weeks the phone wouldn't charge anymore when the phone is on. According to a colleague it was an error in the kernel because I only updated the ROM, I installed viperRom but the installation failed. After that I tried a lot of different things to get an OS installed but without any succes. The partition table was corrupt, could not mount /system /data /cache.

So pretty f@cked, I tried some RUU installers but with no luck (s-on instead of s-off)

I really could use some help with this one.

Phone:

I found a thread for restoring the /data partition but without a complete working partition table I cannot succesfully install any ROM. I can use some help with restoring the partitions or S-off the device and RUU the phone back

Anyone who thinks this problem can be solved?

Thanks

It's difficult to be sure since your version main is missing from getvar but try this.

Download this RUU http://www.htc1guru.com/2014/03/android-ruu-europe/

Download the 4.19.401.09 firmware from the link below. Rename it to firmware.zip and place it in your fastboot folder on your pc.

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

Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Wait for the bootloader screen which should now read ****RELOCKED****

fastboot oem rebootRUU

<--- case sensitive.

The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will take a little longer and this time it 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 completed its output the flash is done.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now with the phone still connected with fastbootusb in the bootloader run the RUU.

This should return you to stock and get the phone booting. If I doesn't fix the charging issue it's probably hardware related.

You may get an error when flashing the firmware because I don't know your exact os version but it won't do any harm it will either work or nothing will change. Good luck let me know how it goes or if you need more help :good:

Need your help

Unfortunately, I'm also in need of your unbrick service, GPe converted phone (from ATT) had been working great OTA, etc. Yesterday the phone lock up during a chrome session (on XDA of all places)

I click and hold the power button... and it's dead no red blinking LED, no response from the phone.

Tried all combos, bright light, and nothing.

Unfortunately in this case the Unbrick Project was your last hope. But as you have discovered your device is not in the correct mode for it to work.

There is no known fix for this as far as I'm aware. I'm not even sure anyone knows exactly why this happens, personally I think it's some kind of hardware failure. But don't quote me on it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok so firstly locking your bootloader on a gpe converted phone was not a good idea. But since your s-off may not be the end of the world. With s-off you do not need to be locked or relocked to flash ruu's and firmware.

But when bootloader are locked on gpe converted phones they don't like to unlock again although most cases the phone is s-on also. So first thing you need to do is try to unlock your bootloader so we know where we stand with that.

Then you need to change your cid back to its original CWS__001 so you can try to flash the 1.26.502.12 or 3.17.502.3 ruu. I am currently looking for a firmware you can use to first downgrade your hboot and restore stock recovery as it may be necessary for the ruu to work.

To change your cid boot the phone to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. Then in fastboot command line type.

fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Check your cid has changed and try the ruu again.

Got a similar issue as above. wondering what are the steps I can even take at this point when i am S-on and trying to push a RUU with fastboot as there is not adb support and no adb sideload either from any of the recoveries (TWRP/CW)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
So is your bootloader currently relocked? What recovery did you use to install ARHD 81?

You don't need usb debugging enabled to use adb commands when the phone is in recovery, if you can't push or use adb it's probably a driver problem. Check your drivers are installed properly.

From the sound of it you just need to push and install a Rom. ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mizagorn:
Since I don't have ADB access, I guess I can't use revone for unlocking. However, I did find the HTCDev.com method and got an unlock key. Sweet.

writecid was successful. Rebooted into bootloader. Running RUU again, says completed successfully. AT&T animation screen.

Awesome! The phone is working now!! The cid made it happen.

My android version is now 4.1.2 and the phone says no updates available. Sense v5.0. Lots of AT&T shtuff lol.

ADB now recognizes my phone. I *think* I can get back up to where I was since I should now be able to push the TWRP backups, unless you find that right RUU. I found some links to htc1guru.com but the site has been down for the last couple of days with a database connection error.

I can't thank you enough!!! All of you, really. This is a fascinating site.

Whaa thanks!! this worked out!! many thanks

Why did I had to lock my phone again? Is het save to unlock the phone and install viperRom? Are there things to consider or just check the charge issue and than reflash the ROM?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Good to hear it worked out :) You had to relock the bootloader because your device is s-on so RUUs won't work when unlocked.

To flash with unlocked you need to be s-off.

Is the charging issue resolved?

Yes it's safe to unlock. just flash the Unlock_code.bin from HTC dev again. You will also need to flash your custom recovery.

Tried with adb sideload but I still can't install a rom
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Nice your phone is S-OFF (stay that way )

I'm not sure what Recovery your using so lets flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 first, If you already have this move to the next step

Download it here > http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7

now you can sideload the Rom

Lets do ARHD 81 download this and put it in the same folder as adb fastboot >>

http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip

TWRP needs to be in /advanced/adb sideload/swipe to sideload screen

then the command to flash it on the PC is

adb sideload Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip

if you have problems with sideload use

adb push Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip /sdcard

and then from TWRP just install it manually

Try formatting data. Warning this will wipe everything from your device including any Rom or internal storage.

Boot to twrp recovery, Select "Wipe" then select "Format Data" you will be prompted to type yes to confirm.

Then reboot the phone to recovery (yes it's important to do the reboot to recovery), and try to sideload the Rom again.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:

Download the 6.09.401.9 firmware zip from here http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/401/. Rename it firmware.zip and place it in your fastboot folder on you pc.

The second flash will take a little longer and this time it 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 completed its output the flash is done.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now from the bootloader screen select recovery, the screen will go blank for a short time then display an image of a phone with a red exclimation.

Hold Volume up and press power to reveal the Stock recovery menu (ignore errors about mount sd card it's normal in stock recovery) Select factory reset from the stock recovery menu. Wait for it to complete then reboot the phone back to the bootloader.

Now reflash twrp 2.6.3.3 then push or sideload the Rom.

fastboot oem unlock

Also some information about how the phone ended up this way would be helpful. Why are you trying to use an ruu? Bootloop, bad flash or some other problem?

Phone was not tampered with. It took a system update that failed, and would not boot normally. I then unlocked the phone and installed twrp recovery and installed a ROM, all was good, but the screen would not respond to touches. Decided to install a RUU as all I want is a stock phone. re-locked phone, and cannot get any RUUs to load. Now can't unlock phone using same method as before.

All I want is a stock t-mobile image so the phone can be used, don't need root.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
fastboot oem unlock only works for GPE phones. To unlock you need to flash the unlock token you received from HTC dev. The same as the first time you unlocked the bootloader.

But if you want to run an ruu leave it locked for now. Please post the output of

fastboot getvar all

Edit out your serial and imei numbers before posting :good:

And we'll see if we can find a suitable ruu for your device.

FYI, The ruu you've already tried failed because it is an older software than your current software. Downgrading is not possible with a device that's s-on ;)

Also you can't boot custom software with a locked bootloader and that's probably why you can't get your recovery to load.

Unfortunately that means your best option for now is to flash a custom Rom, or an older stock Rom.
