In Desperate Need of Flashing Help...

Hi,

,

I recently bought a Moto X (2013) and having had the Atrix HD previously, I thought rooting should be simple.. yeah, no, it wasn't... i'm now hard bricked. I followed a guide about updating the driver and using the program that tricks the driver signing, and it all went as stated, except the phone still won't turn on. Adb can't see it, neither can mfastboot.. RSD Lite does see it tho it fails flashing.. I don't know how this would be best handled, let me know what you think.. Thanks! :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Hey. So first off fastboot oem unlock only works for GPE devices.

To unlock your bootloader again you need to flash the Unlock_code.bin you received from HTCdev the first time you unlocked it. If you don't have the Unlock_code.bin got to www.htcdev.com and complete the Unlock my bootloader procedure again to get a new Unlock_code.bin.

The only available RUU that will work for you is a lollipop one. But to use it you will first need to update your firmware.

So at this stage you can either stay relocked and manually update your firmware and flash the Lollipop RUU.

Or Unlock your bootloader and depending on the state of the device before you relocked it. Once unlocked it may boot right up. Or you may need to flash a Rom to get it booting.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay in an update.

I finally managed to fix my phone. Here is what I did...

1) Flashed custom recovery on my phone for sprint using the TWRP downloads page.

2) Did a factory wipe.

3)Connected it the phone to the PC and transferred a custom rom(viperone in my case)

4)Flashed the custom rom.

Had to flash it a few times before I got it right.

My phone is on h.boot 1.56 and S-on.

i unlocked my sprint m7 then i flashed twrp without realizing there was a newer version now when i boot into recovery its frozen cant even shutdown when holding down the power button i was wondering how to update twrp to latest so i can continue and root my phone

thanks in advanced!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Are you sure you flashed a Sprint version of twrp? Older versions shouldn't cause this issue.

You should be able to force reboot by holding the power button for 60 secs. Then you can get to the bootloader and flash twrp again. Make sure you flash a Sprint compatible recovery from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls Also make sure you erase cache when flashing recovery. Flash with these commands

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

Then select recovery from the bootloader menu. :good:

Hello - i posted on another board but think it would be best to post here instead!

Hello as the title says i posted on the beginner board but now realise that i should post here as well?

ive copied the text so here it is:

I think this is the correct place to post this and this is the correct way to do it so...

I am nearing the end of my contract on a htc one m7 and its been a bit of a pain in the arse with charge and lag and so i bought a nexus 5 to use as my daily driver. As i dont like not using a phone that i paid for (and because a family member wants my nexus haha!) i decided to root the phone and install a cleaner ROM free from bloat. it worked yay! but the battery died yesterday and now the phone refuses to boot back into the rom - also the charging light does not turn on at all.

Okay so today i tried to enter the recovery and found that i couldnt. it says entering recovery in purple text and then reboots back into the boot loop - so ive clearly bricked something somewhere.

Ive tried flashing both ClockworkMod and TWRP touch (latest) and both flash successfully via fastboot commands but still wont enter when i select recovery.

Ive tried Windroid also and it detects the phone in fastboot and flashes TWRP successfully but if i tried to sideload a ROM then it says device not detected.

So im stumped guys and i could really use some help! Ive tried all that i can think of and got nowhere with it at all.

Is getting back to my ROM possible? and have i forgotten to provide any information? or have i just borked it completely?

Try to flash this recovery http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img with fastboot. Make sure to erase cache also

fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then see if you can enter recovery by selecting it from the bootloader.

If that works check your device manger on your pc while connected in recovery. Windows should detect you phone as. "MY HTC" If it's detected as anything else you have a driver issue.

Also in my experience adb push works much better than sideloading. Try to push a Rom to recovery wit

adb push rom.zip /sdcard

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yeah it's a bit strange the problem you describe was a common occurrence for many users but flashing 2.6.3.3 normally works.

The next thing I would try I'd to flash an ruu but I can't find one to match your version main. I can find a firmware package which will restore the stock recovery. Then you should be able to do a factory reset. Then try flashing twrp again. Bare with me. I'm actually in the car at the moment (as a passenger I will add lol) I'll be home shortly and will be easier for me to collect links and so on.

Ok as it turns out I have the firmware packages for your device on my pc. I'm just uploading them to Android file host.

As long as fadtboot is still working you can update the firmware to 6.12.161.9. Then you can use a lollipop RUU to return to stock. That will at least give you a working Rom.

Then you can (if you want to) try and flash twrp again to re-root the phone.

I'll post links and instructions as soon as uploads have finished. There only small uploads so will only take 20mins or so :good:

Hey!

thanks a hell of a lot! Its crazy how quick you respond, im assuming you have an app! My device is/was a UK vodafone handset if that helps. Ill follow your instructions when you upload them (take your time!!!) and then report back! is there some sort of feedback system to help you out in return or something?

Thanks again dude!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yeah I use Tapatalk,* but I'm also subscribed to this thread so I get a notification when someone posts here. Sorry for the delay I got sidetracked catching up with MotoGP Qualifying :D As for feedback just click the Thanks button on any of my posts you found helpful ;)

So here we go. The only RUU I could find are the Lollipop ones but you need to update your firmware to use it. This procedure will wipe your user data and SD storage but with the phone in its current state there is no way to rescue anything anyway.

First you need to download the required files

HTC fastboot* https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550031 (Required for flashing the ruu)

5.16.161.2 firmware* https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347794667

6.12.161.9 firmware*https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347794632

Lollipop Ruu* https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763901

Download all and place them in your fastboot folder. Rename the ruu to something simple, example "ruu.zip"

Reboot the phone to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. Because your s-on you will need to relock your bootloader with the following commands

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader

The device will reboot and should now show ***RELOCKED***

During the firmware and ruu flash the device will reboot and you will see some errors like PreUpdate failed. That's normal so don't panic ;)

Flash the first firmware package

fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip 5.16.161.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Repeat the procedure with the second firmware package*

fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip 6.12.161.9.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now we can flash the ruu

fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader

The ruu will take longer to flash as it is a complete firmware and rom package. When it's finished you can reboot the device and it should boot up to Stock Android Lollipop. It may appear to be stuck on the HTC boot logo. Again this is normal it can take 20 mins+ on first boot so just be a little patient. After this it should reboot in a normal time. Assuming this all goes well you can (if you chose to) Unlock the bootloader with your Unlock_code.bin and see if you can flash a working custom recovery.

Let me know how it goes :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaak:
Hey bud thanks for the help so far! its been amazing for someone to respond so quickly.

I followed your instructions as you laid out and it all successfully flashed according to the cmd. when i attempt to reboot the htc one reboots into the white htc one screen with the powered by android splash at the bottom. The phone then proceeds to reboot and then go back to the same splash screen.

Im stumped but im hoping that you arent! Failing that ios there a way of removing the relocked warning if the only thing left is to send it back to vodafone?

Thanks again!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
OK that's a little bit odd. If every thing flashed Ok it should boot up just fine. Can you run this command

And post the output here. Please remove the IMEI and serial number before posting.

You could also try reseting usb host mode by holding power+both Volume up and down for 60+secs. The device will bootloop while your holding the buttons. When you release the buttons it may boot up.

Also factory reseting from the bootloader may help :good:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The latest RUU for sprint (6.23.651.6) can not be flashed on your phone because its older than your current firmware (6.23.651.7). Flashing older RUU requires s-off.

You could flash a recent custom rom for sprint variant and from there, achieve s-off using Sunshine s-off so you can flash the RUU (Make sure to flash only custom recovery and custom roms compatible with sprint variant M7WLS).

Another option would be to ask in the sprint htc one forums if someone could upload a nandroid backup of the stock 6.23.651.7 rom so you could restore it using twrp recovery.

This was a completely stock phone prior to last night. Then I unlocked the Bootloader following HTC instructions on their website. Everything went fine. I saw 'Unlocked' in the bootloader screen. The phone was working fine.

This morning I saw the notification for system update. I downloaded the 700+MB file and it started installing once downloaded. It went into the green arrow circle screen when it reboots, and have not gone past that screen since.

Sorry I can no longer go into boatloader to get you the info.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
OK that's helpful, when you unlock the bootloader the device gets factory reset. It also deletes the contents of the Preload folder. Which is why the OTA update has failed.

We are going to need to access the bootloader to fix this, why is it you can't get to it?

Power off the device and Hold Volume Down and power at the same time. Keep holding both buttons until you see the bootloader screen :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoodoo1226:
I have done that probably not less than 20 times. I will do again. I have tried both with and without the SIM card. Does it makes a difference? And yes, all my data/pics was wiped out. I thought when we root the phone the data would still be there... ouch!

Until 2 years ago, I have always root and install custom ROMs on all my phones (Anroid) and even helped some friends with their iPhone (certain baseband). I have not done it since then and didn't know it would be this difficult. :) . Thanks for your help so far.

Pressing down the 2 buttons as you intructed: after a few seconds the phone icon with the green arrows circle in the middle came on.... and when I keep both pressed, after a few more secs the screen darks out (icon disappeared - off?) ...and on and off ...while both buttons are still pressed (from the start).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
That's very strange behaviour, unfortunately unless you can access the bootloader or the stock recovery menu there's not much we can do.

It seems the device is trying to complete the OTA update but normally it would just fail and show a red exclamation mark instead of the green arrows.

When you are holding volume down + power do the home and back capacitive buttons flash at all?

If you power the device on normally does it still come back to the same stock recovery screen?
