[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhamdw:
Hard bricked as in, absolutely nothing shows up on the screen.

Called verizon and they said they'll send a replacement but that I must return mine.

Have not mentioned anything about my phone being bricked, but will they charge me if they ever find out?

The only thing functional on my phone is the vibrations from powering on the device. The device doesn't actually power on but you do feel the vibration. However, it's not a single vibration, it's constant (about 1 vibration per second) until you let go of the power button
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRJ442:
You can't put the phone into recovery manually? As long as they can't do it they won't see that its rooted, so you should be fine. What did you do to brick it? These phones are rather difficult to hard brick.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhamdw:
No, I'm not able to put it not any mode whatsoever. I'm just worried they'll figure out it's bricked by the constant vibrations it produces while holding onto the power button

Well, it WAS soft bricked at first after wiping my entire OS.

trying to get back to it's original state was where I messed up

Anyone know how to fix this? Pictures get deleted by themselves all the time, when you save a picture to the phone (not sd card) they get deleted if you reboot your phone. This used to happen on the gs3 too not sure about the gs4. Why is that though? Pictures seem to stay if you save them to the sd card. Try it.

First, which version of the one did you have like m7wls m7vzw or like which m7? Did you cross flash ruu's??? That could cause lots of issues if you did that.... Only ruu's specifically made for the phone will work, also when trying to ruu, were you running the exe or zip?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slyest12:
If you are trying to flash a Sprint RUU, use this thread: Bad Boyz RUU. It's the latest RUU, and I've used it myself. I've wiped my internal storage on accident and on purpose and was able to get my phone up and running using this.

Your phone is not showing up using ADB because you currently have no operating system, same for the USB OTG. Make sure you are using the stock cable (or a high quality replacement). Best of luck to you.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
Sorry just got to my computer... but Good device is found, all drivers are installed good then.... Okay now time for the RUU... We're going to try a RUU first and see how good it works, okay?

Here is the RUU file.. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219526 Download the zip, place it in the folder where your ADB and fastboot is. Once you have it downloaded and in your ADB/fastboot folder,

From fastboot you need to first re-lock your bootloader

fastboot oem lock

Once locked it will boot back into bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Now your booted to the black HTC screen. Make sure your Rom.zip file is in your adb/fastboot folder

fastboot flash zip Rom.zip

This takes a couple minutes and you will most likely get a error

(pre-hboot update: please flush immediately)

Make sure device is still in ruu mode(black HTC screen). If not rerun

fastboot oem rebootRUU

now simply reflash the rom.zip

fastboot flash zip Rom.zip

Let it run and it should finish this time

It will reboot to a fully stock build.

just remember, anytime you get a "flush immediately" error, just make sure your still in ruu mode and reflash the zip.

The most common error is typically

(Error 155)

You did not re lock your bootloader first

-go relock and flash again

More than likely the first time you flash it, it will not work, it usually takes twice for the RUU to go through.. I did copy this from another forum post. But it worked when I have ruu'ed my phone. Do you just wanna go to stock? Or another ROM, if this doesn't work we can load a ROM... .-.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
ok i will try to do that... but can you tell me what has hapened to by phone now??? before the got soft bricked its hboot version was 1.55 but after incomlete flashing of ruu, its hboot version has become 1.44???
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
While it was probably restoring system or something like the emmc, could have went ka plunk.... which if it did and the ruu doesn't work... its a good thing you're s-off..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
will it be safe flash an RUU??? im using windows 8 32-bit and x86 sdk kit... is it ok??
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
thanks for the info....but i have see many others who have got adb sideload working... and i have got an aftermarket USB OTG cable...are there different RUU's for HTC one like 3.0,1.29.4.0... which one will be suited for my device??:confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
The one that I sent you was for your device, pretty much you would take it, it would return you back to stock. Take a OTA, have the newest radios and unlock again. But if you want a new ROM, you don't even need adb sideload... I've never gotten that crap to work... -,,,,,,,,,- but there's also different RUUs, they all do the same thing pretty much. But if you want to use a ROM. Go into Mount in twrp and what are you options?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
i intend to downgrade the phone to 4.1.2 from 4.3 and unlock the phone using sim unlocker app and then upgrade the rom to any newer version like viper rom
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
You should be able to do that :) its just downgrading then upgrading radios.. I would say, take the ruu. Take the latest ota, or unlock and root for that sim unlock, then take a ota, Which I think you would have to then unlock again :eek: or flash the radios via recovery since your s-off in the form of a zip. Then take your ROM put it on internal SD card, wipe everything but Internal SD card and all that crap, then flash ROM and correlating GAPPS.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
should be yes, since your phone showed up with fastboot you should be good.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
i had installed htc sync manager once and now uninstalled it... i think it downloaded the drivers... but why dosent ADB detect the phone???:confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
It should when your in recovery, but while in fastboot it can't be detected. No OS no ADB..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
yes when i go to recovery and connect usb i hear notification sound but in cprompt when i type adb devices it dosent show up... but it shows up in fastboot mode... and is it necessary to relock the bootloader as im s-off... i read in a thread that its not necessary..:confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
I'm honestly not sure... don't think you have to. I don't on my phone... But you might have to on the m7wls. I would do it just incase
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
ok i have one last concern can you tell me what is it im getting in command "fastboot getvar all"

at the and it says at the end of the reply

getvar:all FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

what is that??? is that bad???:confused:

and i also get this

C:\Users\Praveen-SK\Desktop\HTC One\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platf

orm-tools>fastboot getvar version-main

what is that???
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
Hmmm...... It might be a problem... You're locked right? If not, lock and rerun it again, see what it tells you....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
no i have not locked the bootloader... i will lock it tomorrow and tell you the result...:)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
Okay, just do

fastboot oem lock

Its needed to run the RUU. Just report back with what it says.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
ok I'll do it...but when I do RUU and if it fails which I hope not...will I be able to unlock again to flash a rom???
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
Lock then you can RUU. And yes. If the RUU fails, we will try to flash a ROM. Remember boot into fastboot, do fastboot devices to make sure the device is found then

fastboot oem rebootRUU

You should see the Silver HTC logo. Now issue this command to flash your phone using the ruu.zip file:

fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip

Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. It will fail. You have to issue the exact command again:

fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip

The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:

fastboot reboot

Try this after relocking bootloader, make sure the RUU.zip is in your adb/fastboot folder then open a cmd prompt in that folder.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
ok...I'll try this tomorrow...all the best to me....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
Okay, sounds good. Report back with results...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
thanks a lot

brother thank you very much for your help and support... hare krishna... my phone is revived...i owe you a lot.... super thanks...:good::good::good::laugh::laugh::laugh:

officially "NOOB" tag lifted... thanks a lot...

now i will root it and unlock it...

and after that will it be safe if i do a OTA or flash a custom rom??
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
NICE!!! Glad you're phone is revived!!!:good::good::good::highfive::victory: But since you're back to stock, take the latest ota. Then unlock, recovery, and ROM. If you root and unlock, itll just be locked again once you take a ota. So just take a ota. Then unlock and root, back up stock, then put a ROM on there, wipe everything but internal SD card, then flash ROM and correlating GAPPS, and any mods you would like. Boot up, since you're s-off you don't need to flash the boot.img so you're good just to flash! :highfive::good::good::victory:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] praveensk.rcb:
ok but actually i did this to sim unlock the phone... the app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viper.simunlockhelperfree

only works on 4.1.2 so i need to root it first...

now is it ok to root and sim unlock the phone and take an OTA...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pball52998:
Ooooo yeah. Forgot about that. So you have 4.1.2 now right? I would say try weaksauce and see if it works. That's what Verizon users have to use to s-off there HTC phones. Possibly try weaksauce then download supersu from the play store., or just unlock flash a recovery then flash su.zip either or should work. The unlock does work for certain though.

I need some help getting an AT&T S4 back to stock. I tried rooting it and installing a custom ROM but things took a bad turn and now I'm stuck. The device is MK2 so I rooted the phone following the instructions in the ULTIMATE HOW-TO thread using Saferoot, then I used Safestrap to successfully install Recovery. Everything was good up to here. I tried to install a ROM that I later found out was unsupported onto the Stock slot in Safestrap. After realizing my mistakes I tried to put a supported ROM into Slot 1 on safestrap and that still failed. No matter what it will just boot loop. I tried fully wiping both slots and in the process lost my custom recovery.

Now I am to the point of just going back to stock, the phone is going to be sold anyways. I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261573

Downloaded ODIN and factory image but when I try to flash it with ODIN it comes up FAIL! within a few seconds. It gets as far as NAND Write Start!! then it fails out.

Please tell me I'm not hosed and bricked the device. I'm not new to this either, had several Galaxy phones for years but switch to Windows Phone a few months ago and am a little rusty with this stuff.

If your stock build ends with MK2, you need an Odin tar for your version that ends in MK2 (or later release) as well. Using an earlier build will fail.

So I got updated to .101 firmware when my phone returned from repairs from the Sony centre. However, I'm unable to flash the .67 ftf in flashtool to downgrade and obtain root :/ It simply says that my phone is connected in flashmode and nothing happens after that, followed by disconnecting my device after a short while. I'm unable to flash the flashable zip in recovery due to some error to try and upgrade from the .434 firmware where I actually get root. Now I'm stuck on .101 firmware and I can't get root since I'm still using a locked bootloader :(
