HTC ONE GPE + HBOOT 1.54 + S-ON + Relocked Bootloader - Not bricked yet

Hello,

I'm in the same situation.

HTC ONE GPE + HBOOT 1.54 + S-ON + Relocked Bootloader.

My phone is not bricked yet because I haven't OTA updated to 4.4. Now my phone is working perfectly with Android 4.3 and I've disabled the OTA notification (Google Services Framework).

I've bought my device from US Play Store. Unfortunately now I'm in Moldova (East Europe) and I can not send the device back to Google US. I've contacted our HTC Service Center but they can not help me.

I've thought that I'm buying a Nexus device with HTC ONE hardware... Now I'm very disappointed!

I think maybe we should open a thread on Google Product Forum regarding our issues and request from them to provide us with Signed RUU firmware for HTC ONE GPE.

If someone has already fixed this problem please help us to.

Yea, this is completely unacceptable, I went three days without the phone and the entire day today. I dont know what they did wrong but they need to fix this, its a shame. I go around claiming to have the best phone and this happens.....

Official response from HTC

Yesterday I've requested Signed RUU for HTC ONE GPE from HTC DEV, here is what they replied to me:

Dear A*** D*****,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

In regards to your inquiry, kindly note that we at HTC take customer comments and suggestion very seriously. We can assure you that we will send your comments and complain to our engineers and technicians to investigate this issue. In turn, they will contact HTC Global, hoping that they will take it into their consideration as soon as possible, and maybe they will try to fix it in any future update. We apologize for any inconvenience that you are facing at the moment.

If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.

For further details, please note that you can contact us via support line or via email following the below link: htc.com/europe/support.aspx . Thank you so much for using HTC products.

Since my HTC One GPE is not bricked yet I hope that in a month or two they will provide us with Signed RUU for our devices. Finger crossed.

Try CWM
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjd210:
I did but now I think I'm just going it wrong as it still doesn't appear, even when I put it in the CWM folder. Should I unzip it or leave it as is? I have tried both but my phone was not able to read those and restore from it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcaloide_:
unzip it, then push the folder to the clockworkmod/Backups folder then you will see it available for Restore

Thanks. I just found it as well. I was putting it in the wrong clockworkmod folder.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elisaw99:
saving back-ups

So, I have received my replacement phone from Google. Before I start updating the system, etc, I checked and currently I am on system 4.2.2.

To avoid running into the same issues again, I want to save the system (each step of the way), but without rooting.

According to the HTC rep, there is a way to do it with adb commands, but you cannot restore the systems without rooting.

I found the following webpage: http://blog.shvetsov.com/2012/09/backup-your-android-without-root-or.html

I am hoping that I can manage the following: 1) save system files that will allow for a restore, should i require it. 2) potentially create a packaged signed version of the system for those who need 4.2.2 (and i can do the same once i update to 4.3 and 4.4).

So, which of the versions of the abd command is most useful? Which is most universal to be able to restore the system? And do any create the file(s) that we had been looking for with this whole process?

I am not opposed, also, to saving in several versions/formats. I could just use some direction.

Thanks!

Which version of TWRP did you flash? I just tried v2.6.3.3 (filename openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img) and it does not load. The second I press the power button when on "recovery", it reboots.

SUCCESS!

I flashed the 2.5.0.0 version of TWRP... Powered down the phone and when it came back on, I was able to launch it and it DOES start now!

NICE NICE NICE!

Ok, version 2.5.0.0 works for ADB but the touch screen does not work. Version 2.6.3.3 does not start.. and 2.6.0.1 works for the touch but not ADB...

meh, I'll push a nandroid using 2.5.0.0 and restore using 2.6.0.1. I'll be back with results.

Why you can flash custom recovery when devices S-ON and RELOCKED ????

With HBoot 1.54 and S-ON we can not make any change for this problem to UNLOCKED
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llavalle:
I simply unlocked it!

I have fixed my phone!

What I did (Step 1 and 2 are required if you are locked and unlock crashes)

1-RUU Flash this zip : https://mega.co.nz/#!6M5nCRLD!fAUWUAXWv1Sl-7HAcycrR3oxBQ0_5co3s2N5OCUt-n8

--> Taken from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2390249

2-Fastboot OEM Unlock...

3-Fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img -> ADB was working but touch was not

4-Start TWRP

5-Push CYANOGEN Mod 10.2 ZIP file ON (cm-10.2.0-m7ul.zip)

6-Fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7.img -> ADB NOT working but touch worked

7-Install Cyanogenmod 10.2

8-Enable USB Debugging and ADB Root from CyanogenMod. Make sure to disable lock screen. For some reason rumrunner did not work with Super SU on the stock ROM.

9-Run RumRunner to S-OFF your phone

10-RUU Flash the 4.4 RUU from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358781

11-The RUU will do a "pre update on hboot"... and reboot the phone in RUU. Re-run the same command to restart the flash.

I now have a fully functionnal 4.4 Htc One Google Edition.. and with S-OFF I can reflash ANYTHING I want.. like a Nexus!

I didnt read the whole thread but if ur bootloader is unlocked. I had the same issue I flashed CWM then the 4.2 stock GPE rom found somewhere in these threads.

[MENTION=4464896]llavalle[/MENTION], thanks for your suggestion! I'm following your steps and I'm at step 5 now. In case I screw up things, I just want to check with you first.

- For step 5, all I needed to do is to adb sideload the CM zip file. Am I correct?

- For step 6 and 7, why do I need 2.6.0.1 and may I know what you mean by install Cyanogenmod in step 7? I thought it's done in step 5.

Thanks again for your help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llavalle:
By "push cm zip file" I literally meant "adb push thezipfile /sdcard/" to transfert the zip file on the sdcard folder.

For steps 6 and 7 : On TWRP 2.6.3.3, the system would reboot. On 2.5.0.0, ADB would work but not the touchscreen. On 2.6.0.1, the touch would work but not ADB ;) Since I need both, I uploaded the ZIP using 2.5.0.0 and used the interface using 2.6.0.1.

To install the zip file, you need to go in TWRP and select "INSTALL"... then pick the zip file you just uploaded. I did this using 2.6.0.1.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felix1212:
Somehow the touchscreen on 2.5.0.0 works for me. Don't know why. Anyway, I clicked adb sideload and entered the adb mode on TWRP. However, once I issue the adb push command on PC, I just got error: closed. :crying:

C:\HTC\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llavalle:
No need to enter "adb sideload". This is a special mode to push apps. Just start TWRP and test it using "adb devices". You should get a list of devices in ADB mode : "List of devices attached"... with a serial number and a line saying "RECOVERY".

Then, make sure "cm-10.2.0-m7ul.zip" is in your folder.. and do the PUSH.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderboy455:
S-off

Hey man, no I was "not" s-off before I tried the instructions on from llevalle. I was stuck in a boot loop like most people on this thread. I was able to downgrade the hboot and then unlock the phone with HTC unlock code. I had to also upgrade the hboot to 1.44 before my phone booted into android. But I did that after I unlocked the phone. I was then able to install a T-MO US rom from RUU, 1.27.531.11 to be exact. I installed right from my PC.I was able to then s-off the phone and changed to super cid. I installed a developers edition RUU and then upgraded to kit kat via OTA from HTC OTA. I did not go back to the Google Play Edition ROM. I think I can install any rom that I want now. It was a bit tricky following the instructions though. If you are still having issues and you want me to try to help PM me on here and I will see if I can help you get your phone back to stock. I can see if I can give you some more accurate instructions.

so again just to throw this in here, Thank You again llavalle,

I was stuck with a re-locked bootloader on a converted gpe M7, searched endlessly for ways to unlock it with little luck. (fastboot oem unlock doesn't work)

As a last ditch effort, I downloaded the AT&T HTC One M7 RUU, used the HTC Dev method to unlock the bootloader, and just like that I'm back in business. Once unlocked, I re-installed the GPE 4.4 RUU, flashed the CWM recovery, and restored my phone. I hope this helps other people that are stuck with the 'relocked' gpe bootloader.

Hi guys!

You all may have come across the latest version of Android "Kitkat"..

There are so many things a developer would like to port from it to earlier versions of Android! And here I am, after porting the Kitkat Easter Egg(or PlatLogo) to ICS+ devices.. For those who haven't heard of this before, it is the animation that appears when tapped multiple times on "Android Version" in "About Phone" menu of Settings! It is different for different versions of Android :D
