Windows 8.1? It does have some issues with hboot 1.44 so that would probably explain it. Or if your windows 7 check your device manager it could be a driver issue.

If you do have Windows 8.1 i'm told it can be made to work but i'm more of a linux guy I've never used Windows 8.1 so i'm not sure I can help with it but maybe [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] can. Or maybe you have a windows 7 machine you can use.

You can also make a Linux Pen Drive to boot linux on your PC but then you will need to use the RUU.zip in post #4 of the guide. the exe wont work with linux. I have a guide for that if you want to give it ago. :good:

Thanks again. Switched to Windows 7 divce and it was working. Had some problem with the CWM Recovery because I cannot use adb there so I used TWRP and everything was working. Will now try RUU again. Crossing fingers.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moozery:
I've searched around for my problem for a couple days now and haven't found much. I think you could call this a brick, but maybe it's a bit more of a boot loop.

I fix phone displays for people I know, and I have an HTC One M7 (m7_ul) that I replaced the display assembly on since the glass got cracked. During disassembly, I mistakenly bumped the power button, and since I hadn't reached the battery to unhook it yet it powered the device, and I had no display plugged in yet to turn it back off which forced me to have to disassemble the entire device while it was powered (up until everything was unplugged from the logic board, ofcourse).

The problem I'm having now, after reassembling:

- Device boots to HTC screen, then goes to a black screen (backlight still on). USB is recognized as "HTC MTP Device" (or similar) in device manager, adb can see the device, but it is "unauthorized"

- Attempting to access recovery results in the phone getting stuck at "Entering Recovery", flickers a few times at the start, USB still gets recognized though as "One" in device manager

- Bootloader works, fastboot works, though attempting to enter recovery or factory reset gets me stuck at "Entering Recovery"

What I've tried:

- fastboot flashing TWRP and CWM img's (flashes successfully every time, but doesn't fix the issue, even tried fastboot erase cache)

getvar all:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

Bootloader menu says S-ON, UNLOCKED, TAMPERED, and the "OS -" row is blank

Before this, the device was running a custom ROM with TWRP

My only ROM, recovery, etc experience was with a few samsung devices, so this is a little different to me. I've heard a lot about this "RUU" but I don't know if this CID is SuperCID or not so I haven't tried that.

Any help is so extremely appreciated!!

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-38r-1157-04l_release_351317_signed_2-exe/

This RUU should do the job, It will wipe the device and return all software to stock hopefully you have some backups ;). You will need to relock the bootloader to run the RUU because the device is s-on.

Boot to the bootloader and connect fastboot usb. In the command window type

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Once its back in the bootloader it should now read ***RELOCKED*** check fastboot usb is connected and launch the ruu .exe on your PC.

When its done you can unlock the bootloader at HTCdev.com and then restore from any backups you may have :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moozery:
So I Relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU, but it turns out the ROM.zip in that RUU is corrupt, just like someone says in the comments for that RUU (I opened it up and even got corruption errors about half the files in it). So ofcourse it failed saying it couldn't use the ZIP, and now it automatically enters bootloader & fastboot with "RELOCKED" and "Security Warning".

I tried the identical RUU from an alternative site, but now it just gets stuck at "Checking Headers".

Any suggestions? Tomorrow I was going to try pulling the zip from this alternative download and checking it for corruption, and if not try doing it manually instead of using the EXE.

What if I were to use the Telus RUU? I read that with S-ON, using the wrong RUU will brick it, but Rogers and Telus are both providers where I live so I don't know if the RUU's would be close enough or not.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArecxP:
Hello, came across your thread and I need help. I recently transferred to a new phone and still have my beloved HTC one. I was going to sell the phone so I decided to go into TWRP and clear the data. Without thinking, I checked everything and deleted everything. After realizing how careless I was, I was hoping that the phone would still boot. The phone will start but it just stays on the white HTC boot screen (obviously because there is no OS to load up). I have tried to force any kind of ROM onto the phone to install but my computer won't recognize the phone when I use the HTC toolkit. I have HTC Sync installed as well so drivers are not the issue I believe. Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Have you tried ADB Sideload? You can select that option in TWRP, then go to command prompt (if on windows) and run

adb sideload rom.zip

from your ADB folder.

This should sideload the ROM on your device and you can then flash using TWRP
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArecxP:
Just tried and failed. I'm also not able to mount anything if that helps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] real_Base:
Maybe you try to push the firmware.

Just boot into recovery and try "adb push C:\[yourPath]\[YourRom].zip /sdcard/". After this you can hit the install button in recovery and install the zip on your phone.

I had the same issue that sideload wont work but pushing worked for me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5fifty5:
Are you able to see the device:

adb devices

What error do you get when you try to sideload? If you wiped the system partition too then you might need to load the correct firmware using fastboot command
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] real_Base:
Finally made it. I have repeated all the process again and used:

After I´m running rumrunner my HTC got bricked with the typical "dead" symptoms.

Windows only recive the QHSUSB_DLOAD Mode. So i found this thread, follow the instructions and run ./revive.sh with success (was detected in QHSUSB_DLOAD Storage Mode).

But after the progress my phone was not unbricked and everything was the same as before, exept the QHSUSB_DLOAD Mode has changed to Qualcomm. Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode).

So I've tried the RUU that Danny linked me a couple days ago, multiple times on two different PCs, and tried two different downloads for it, and the RUU exe errors or gets stuck.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
What errors do you get when you use the RUU .exe? Do you have HTCSync installed? It's known to cause issues while running RUUs if you do uninstall it but leave the drivers installed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moozery:
Htcsync is not installed, just the driver

The first time, I got one about something to do with installing the ROM or something similar

The next time, it got stuck on Checking Headers.

So I moved everything to my laptop and tried again, and htc_fastboot.exe crashes everytime I start the RUU process, which freezes up the entire RUU program.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Based on the getvar Hboot 1.55, CiD ROGER001, the missing version main should be 3.22.631.1 so that's the right RUU with a relocked bootloader (because your s-on) it should work.

fastboot crash is normally due to out of date SDK. You can check your SDK version by typing

adb version

into you fastboot/adb command window. The latest is 1.0.3.2
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moozery:
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32. Though the one that was crashing was some "htc_fastboot.exe" if that makes a difference.

I'm not using the actual SDK, I just installed 15 Seconds ADB Installer from somewhere here on XDA. But I'll find my SDK and update it and try with it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
No need the mini sdk is fine as long as its upto date which it appears to be. I'm not sure what else to suggest it's possible that some damage was caused by dismanteling the device while it was power on :( I know it's little help now but holding the Power button for 60 secs would have forced it to power off

If we can find a signed firmware that matches the RUU flashing it before running the RUU may help. :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moozery:
Alright, I'll look into that

Yeah, I figured since it had absolutely no display plugged in yet, there'd be no way to know for sure if it was still on. Plus, at the time I was more worried about damage from not having any display or digitizer plugged in, as I've seen that do funky things to Apple devices.

Is that the "OTA" files I see around? Because I did see one of those for this device.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
either a firmware.zip Or the OTA you can extract the firmware.zip from the OTA file but it must be 3.22.631.1* or 4.19.631.9 to match the RUU.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moozery:
Okay, so I pulled a firmware.zip from a 4.19.631.9 OTA, flashed it, and it went perfectly smooth!

HTC screen changed, I now have a charging screen, and I have a version beside "OS" in bootloader!

I tried the RUU again, and exact same result. Stuck at 5% on desktop, crashes on laptop.

When I try to flash the zip pulled from the EXE:

target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes

Now I did note before that someone commented on the download for this RUU that they couldn't get it to work either.

Anything else I can try flashing as an alternative?

I'm going to contact HTC to see if I can get the RUU(s), they seem to have a section for them on htcdev but it doesn't load.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArecxP:

I was trying to flash a Motorola razr for a friend. In that case it turned out I had the wrong version of fastboot. Motorola devices have a special version called "mfastboot"

I don't think mfastboot will help in your situation since it not a Motorola but maybe it's work trying a different sdk

I know this one was recently updated to support the latest http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Are you still helping with Bricked HTC Ones?

Hello Matt,

not sure this is is still active, but if yes, I really could use your help! I have a stock GPE HTC One (M7, not rooted, S-On and locked) stuck in a bootloop. In brief, the history is: I received the Lollipop 5.0.1 OTA update and immediately had non-stop problems (It was fine with Kitkat 4.4.4) -- crashes, reboots, Wifi connection problems, etc., etc. In looking around for help it was suggested to do a factory reset, at least that seems to have helped others. I backed up the phone with Helium and tried the reset. After rebooting it either immediately got stuck into this bootloop or I was too impatient and pressed the power button too early (many minutes after the reboot started though) and thereby compromised something. I now cannot get it to boot, nor boot into recovery. I've played around extensively with fastboot and ADB and can communicate with the device in fastbootUSB mode. I did request the unlock code and it did accept it, but never completed the unlocking (I never did see the screen on the phone itself asking for a yes/no decision). I've also tried some RUU and recovery images, but non pass the signature verification. The HTC SyncManager is not able to communicate with the phone, but --as I said-- I can communicate with fasboot when the phone is in fasbootUSB mode. I'm using a Mac, but also have access to Windows...

It would be truly great if you could help with this. Thanks so much in advance!!

Unfortunately your only option here is to send it for warranty repair. GPE bootloader have a bug which prevents unlocking the normal way.

Currently the only way to unlock a GPE bootloader is with Sunshine App. But it costs $25 to use and requires the phone to be booting to Android OS.

There is no RUU you can use with s-on so your basically stuck. Take advantage of your warranty :)
