[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamer1212:
Hi,

I had my phone replace the camera because of the purple-tint problem, HTC upgraded my phone to HBoot 1.54 and android 4.2.2 without informing me :(. Anyway.

After receiving my phone, I unlocked my phone again by the official method, then I wanted to make a clean backup of my rom, so I tried to boot my phone to third party recovery image by "fastboot boot some_CWM.img", my phone just hung there. I was frustrated, if I flash the CWM.img to the phone, would I brick my phone? Before the upgrade, my phone could be booted in the same CWM image file, can I use third party CWM after upgrade my HBoot to 1.54?

Any idea? please
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTIT:
Since you have HBOOT 1.54, you cannot boot into recovery using fastboot anymore, you have to flash the recovery and then backup the ROM.

You flash the recovery by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

I also recommend TWRP, its so much easier to use and if you cant find it ill attach it here if you want!

EDIT: **** This will replace your stock recovery by CWM or TWRP ****

HTC One 1.54 bootloader, flash recovery.

Hey guys, new member, and thanks for the extensive information provided on the forum!

I have a related question to what the OP posted...possibly pertinent info about the phone itself:

I have an HTC One with 1.54 bootloader, it used to be a 4.1.2 with 1.44 bootloader AT&T device, which I rooted, S-OFF, CWM etc. I then realized I couldn't take OTA updates and was stuck either on 4.1.2 or a custom ROM, so I downloaded a 4.4 stock google edition RUU and installed it. Everything is good so far, but I cannot do a full backup anymore because it has the stock recovery.

My question is, can I just flash the CWM recovery, backup the phone, and flash back the stock recovery? My goal is to get best of both worlds, get OTA updates from google as well as do a full back-up of my phone.

Please advise, and thanks in advance for your input!

PS: Since the 4.4 RUU update, my phone still says "unlocked" and "S-OFF", if that matters at all.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Sure you can but the stock recovery is only needed for OTA and they don't come that often.

and your phone has to be stock with stock recovery (no apps removed).

most people just ruu back to stock for the ota... not run custom recovery just long enough to backup.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krish_1:
Thanks for the quick response! I think what you're saying makes sense, though I don't have a stock AT&T RUU. I'm guessing I can download it with similar firmware so I can switch as needed. Thanks again!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
here's all the ruu's you should ever need

http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krish_1:
Awesome, thanks again!

I looked around the site before posting this, didn't find anything specific. I have a Nandroid backup of the stock phone before I started messing with it. If I do a recovery of that image using CWM, is it the same as downloading and flashing one of the stock RUUs? I'm guessing not, but would like to know for sure. Is the difference that RUUs have firmware, radio etc, while a Nandroid backup is of the OS and SD card?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
well for one thing when you unlock the booloader it deletes some system files when it wipes the phone.. so your stock backup is already flawed (not true stock). and like i said to take OTA you must have a complete Stock phone. the only real Stock phone comes from RUU. I hope this clears it up for you. And no your sdcard is not backed up in the Nandroid
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krish_1:
Makes perfect sense, thanks again for the super quick responses!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krish_1:
Hi guys, sorry in advance for digging up an old thread!

I have an AT&T HTC One, installed the Google Edition 4.4.2 with this group's help, rooted etc.

I received an OTA update from google today (4.4.3), and while I tried installing it, it crashes with a "SET_METADATA_RECURSIVE" something failed etc. I tried it with both the recovery.img that I have from the Google Edition ROM as well as the CWM recovery.

I've searched for stuff in the forum and the only thing I found is that I may need the latest version of clockworkmod, but I think I already do...I have 6.0.4.3, which is the HTC One AT&T one. Also, since I installed the Google Edition ROM, I haven't removed or uninstalled any system apps..so my phone is pretty stock as far as Google is concerned.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

I figured it out...I had to get the recovery.img from the 4.4.2 RUU, fastboot flash the bugger into my phone (CWK didn't work), and I was able to download and install the 4.4.3 with no issues. Pissed away a few hrs trying different things, hopefully this update is worth it!!!
[HTC Sensation] headras:
Hi guys !

i have this issue after i tried flashind ViperS_3.1.2 rom wich finally doesn't boot !

i tried to solve this by :

- flashing stock rom , CM10.2, revolution HD and some others rom

- changing firmware 3.33 & 3.32

- flashing boot.img extracted from rom with fastboot command

- flashing other hboot

- changing recovery from 4ext to cwm

the phone has unlocked bootloader, S-OFF, and Super-CID.

i used the juopunutbear to get s-off

actually my configuration is :

rom : InsertCoin_Evolution_Sense4_Sensation_v2.2

android 4.03 with sense 4

bricked kernel

bootloader says :

*******unlocked*********

radio 11.24a.3504.31_m

wifi & bluetooth still not working

thank's

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
full wipe

reflash viperS rom

if it doesn't boot then flash the boot.img via fastboot command

reboot

check then wifi

best wishes
[HTC Sensation] blogodoblogodo:
hi, Perhaps with your 1.29 HBoot.

Try this if its doesn't work .

Download the latest 3.33 universal firmware package (PG58IMG.zip) from here.

Put it on ure Sdcard.

Restart in BootLoader,

yes to update.

Then again installating ROm that u want!!!

And try the new Radio 11.76C
[HTC Sensation] headras:
thank you

i just tried your solution but this rom doesn't boot even i flashed the boot.img via fastboot
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you flash it with cwm try to flash it with 4ext
[HTC Sensation] headras:
i think that is a hard issue !!!!!!!!!

i tried everything but wifi still not starting

thank you.............
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try wifix manager app

see how it goes
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
Gently lift antennas above camera

Those antennas r for Bluetooth and WiFi
[HTC Sensation] headras:
yeah ! i tried this also but noway ..............
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
go to system->etc->wifi and delete the wpa_supplicant.conf file

first copy it to the sdcard just in case

see then if it helps
[HTC Sensation] headras:
Is there a way to know if it is a hard problem.
[HTC Sensation] headras:
no change !
[HTC Sensation] headras:
hi.

may be it's a hardware issue

i tried resseting phone to it's manufacture values ...

installing ruu.exe rom s-on locked the boot and re s-off ..

installing some roms with flashing boot.img but no change wifi and bluetooth can't start.

and i get no mac adresses.

[HTC Sensation] tensio:

[HTC Sensation] tensio:

[HTC Sensation] headras:

[HTC Sensation] tensio:
I installed the Android revolution HD choosing faux123 kernel and the wifi worked for a few minutes, then returned to crash. (Wifi Error)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
Flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command or change kernel
[HTC Sensation] headras:
deperate

i'll try this last chance

thank you
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
usless?
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
Guys , gently lift the pins just above camera on the back of the phone ..that should help with WiFi and Bluetooth reception.
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
the probem is that the wifi does turn on.
[HTC Sensation] headras:
i recovered bluetooth after flashing pacman rom. wifi still not starting
[HTC Sensation] Gatosbil:
Try to make a full wipe your rom using ext4 recovery.

Boot inot 4ext recovery and go to "wipe | format":

wipe data/factory reset (It will format your data and cache partition and it will clean your .android_secure folder on your sdcard)

wipe cache (the first wipe should clean cache but try to clean it again just in case)

wipe dalvik-cache

wipe battery stats

format system

format boot (Try to clean your kernel twice)

Then go back --> power menu --> Reboot into Bootloader (you could use adb reboot-bootloader if you have it connected with usb)

If you are S-OFF try to flash Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU from here.It should downgrade your radio (possibly 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M) and your hboot to 1.27.

Then try to install the latest RUU for your country.
[HTC Sensation] headras:
Finally i get wifi started & connected (but no internet) after doing this :

- flashing boot.img from PACMAN rom

- doing wipes : data cache dalvik & dalvik cache

- flashing rom : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426726

by chance i recovered wifi & internet by reflashing boot.img extracted from the rom again after flashing rom

it's working great

thank you all .........
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
this rom hasnt got the boot.img, how can extract?

why u flash boot.img if at least u flashing rom?

and the kernel?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
the boot.img is inside in the rom.zip

sometimes we are flashing boot.img for booting issues or wifi issues
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
this rom : http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2426726 dont have .img
[HTC Sensation] ahsan64:
rom.zip have kernel folder in it , boot.img should be in it.. :good:

And BTW the above link is broken...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
indeed it is broken
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
this is the link, its on
[HTC Sensation] ahsan64:
Did you just check the boot.img in it.??
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
yes, there isnt
[HTC Sensation] ahsan64:
How is this possible , the above user who fixed wifi using the boot.img from the same rom.zip....

I will download the rom and tell you where boot.img is hide :D but not now(not in home :sly:)
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
ty
[HTC Sensation] ahsan64:
Ok i just reached home i downloaded the rom , and boot.img is present as soon as you open the rom.zip... So why you are unable to see it..?? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
yes sory i download only gapps
[HTC Sensation] ahsan64:
It is gapps(Google Apps like playstore) , not rom This is rom link HERE

Download it

Wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache/dalvik cache

Format all partitions except sdcard

Then

flash rom ... and after that flash gapps then reboot phone...

And if wifi problem still present then flash boot.img ...
[HTC Sensation] headras:
it's hightly recomended to flash boot.img extracted from the rom you want to flash if you use HTC-DEV unlocking procedure

the boot.img is inside of zip (pac_pyramid_4.3-build.1.RC_20130902-132247) a you should extract it

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i finaly flashed ViperS 3.1.2 rom and it's working (great rom!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
i did it. but stucks on first start with game over, insert coint...
[HTC Sensation] headras:
yes !

it's normal (phone is booting)

just wait 5-10 minutes for the first boot.

good luck
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
i wait more than 20 min

give me a link with a kernel or radi.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try to flash the boot.img via fastboot command

after that reboot

are you on S-ON or S-OFF?
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
s-off

i flashed it
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
still the same?

if yes change recovery

for kernel and radio search in the development section

all of them are there
[HTC Sensation] tensio:
i have got ClockworkMod recovery, need change?

still teh same.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
Flash it with 4ext recovery

Before flashing format all partitions except sdcard

And don't forget to flash also gapps after flashing the rom

no dont remove roms even if they are old, thats my opinion..coz there must be some reason a rom is abandoned, like it final version or the developer bought another device. For example choco bread and emanon are 1.5 year old but still are the best stock based roms..

so let people decide for themselves and not remove links for old roms.. ;)

I meant to remove the roms which doesnt have anyone download link to use it,and not the ones which are discontinued :)

Hi I just got my new mini duo, after using Note 2 for a year. I am happy with the phone, I needed something small, powerful, and with dual sim. Some questions please:

1. I use "Network signal info Pro" with the same sim card, Note 2 shows me HSPA* 21.1 Mb/s but Mini Duo only 14.4 Mb/s, why is that please?

2. is it possible to do screen shot as it was in N2 just by swaping your palm from one side to another?

3. SIM CARD Manager - Dual sim always on - after choosing it the screen says:

sim 1

call forwarding: Failed

call waiting: Enabled

sim 2

call forwarding: Failed

call waiting: Enabled

and the Dual SIM always on is not activated

Is this correct or all the options should be ENABLED?

4. Any chance to have LED notification?

2. feature not suported by stock, and haven't seen that mod, good luck in your search.

3. these feature have to be supported by your network provider, for me its enabled, this is how it works

if the feature is off

while you are on call-A on sim1, Call-B to sim2, call-B rejected as if the phone is off.

if the feature is on (as in mine)

while yo are on a call-A on sim1, Call-B to sim2, call-B is forwarded to sim1, yo get the option to hold call-A (put in waiting mode) and answer Call-B
