While this hboot img is dangerous and does indeed cause problems, that is 99.9% not related. Check other mods you have done.
[One (M7) General] iElvis:
Provided the file downloaded correctly (you did check the md5, didn't you? That's mandatory for firmware) it's not going to spontaneously brick itself because you have a modified hboot.

That said, there are risks should you ever decide to go back to stock. You may not be able to go back to s-on with a modified hboot, or doing so may hard brick you. (But you should never go back to s-on anyway.)
[One (M7) General] CryptoCombat:
Have you not read any of this thread? Yes, even following all rules of boot partition flashing many of us still ended up with bricks.
[One (M7) General] RiskPrime:
This is what Im currently running:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.21.3263.03

(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064

(bootloader) modelid: PN0713000

(bootloader) cidnum: T-MOB010

So because my hboot version is older, I shouldn't flash this? How can I get a newer hboot version so I can get newer firmware?

T-Mobile US HTC One​
[One (M7) General] CryptoCombat:
Welp. dd'ed hboot img to p12 successfully. Just need to wait out the battery for a reboot...
[One (M7) General] agentdr8:
Might not want to let it die, as apparently in qhsusb_dload the phone doesn't charge.
[One (M7) General] iElvis:
Did you not read his question? :rolleyes: He was asking if his phone was going to brick itself because he had a modified hboot, even though it flashed successfully.
[One (M7) General] CryptoCombat:
Not like there's any way to really stop it...if it doesn't charge in that mode then keeping it plugged in doesn't help and you cant power it off.

Anyway. I dug up the serial drivers for qhsusb_dload and fired up qboot but it doesn't detect it at the moment & I am not getting jack out of my hyperterm console either.

4800 bits per sec, 8 data bits, no parity & 1 stop bit.
[One (M7) General] TeHashX:
This firmware is not for your mid
[One (M7) General] njoythegame:
After flashing the first firmware that was posted in this thread, my phone was bricked even though i removed the hboot from the zip (i flashed only radio and the rest of the files without hboot). I sent it to vodafone and they sent it to Regenersis Poland. Yesterday, after waiting for about a week, i got it back. They changed the motherboard.

I was S-OFF, had custom recovery, ARHD but they didn't say anything about this.
[One (M7) General] FiltatosV6:
They lied. If they had changed the motherboard you would had get a stock phone.
[One (M7) General] njoythegame:
You misunderstood :) Before i got the phone bricked i had S-OFF, custom ROM, etc. From what i know, this voids your warranty but they didn't say anything.
[One (M7) General] TeHashX:
Now you have a clean system without s-off?
[One (M7) General] njoythegame:
Yes, also stock ROM and new IMEI.
[One (M7) General] agentdr8:
Good point. I guess the only way to get it to turn back on once dead would be to clip a ~5V source near the battery terminals.
[One (M7) General] CryptoCombat:
I don't actually believe that it won't charge when in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. That would make very little sense, considering that's what the OEM uses to flash the base system firmware before fastboot is enabled, IIRC.
[One (M7) General] dexter93:
You might not believe it, but it doesn't. off mode charging is way up in the boot sequence :)

@TeHashX please add to the OP that people flashing this OTA from 3.x firmware NEED to flash the 4.19.401.9 or they'll end up bricked.

That brick type however, is not fatal
[One (M7) General] TeHashX:
Done
[One (M7) General] cloud1250000:
yeah it doesn't charge at all in that mode.
[One (M7) General] anko184:
Guys i have a question for you. I already have flashed the 5.11.401.10 firmware and now i decided to get rid of the red watermark, so should i flash the whole firmware again or i only need the modified hboot?
[One (M7) General] TeHashX:
Hboot only
[One (M7) General] zeezz:
I've encountered this type of brick, due to poor reading comprehension and distraction from watching NBA finals. Is there any known way to recover from this? When plugging in, I see the dreaded QHSUSB_DLOAD. I kept playing around with the buttons and got the phone to turn on to recovery once or twice, but because RUU / etc requires the 'rebootRUU' i haven't been able to actually flash a different bootloader... and i've been trying for a while to get it back on with no avail. Ugh.
[One (M7) General] TeHashX:
Did you seen recovery screen? This is good, stock recovery or twrp?
[One (M7) General] zeezz:
Oops - not recovery, the main bootloader screen where you can select FASTBOOT/RECOVERY etc.
[One (M7) General] TeHashX:
If you see again bootloader screen, you can flash firmware again :)

You can flash radio in recovery if the zip is made for that. Try visiting the radio collection thread. There are lots of recovery-flashable radio packages there.

Hi,

I tried to flash this firmware and got huge problem.

I had some 3.62V of firmware so I downloaded the 4.19.401.11 and did sucessful flash. After that I download a version 5v from here and started.

Everything in fastboot went so good until I typed to reboot. After that HTCOne won't startup again.

I tried few solutions how to start it up but won't work ( tried Vol + & Vol - and Power for 90secs, tried under bright light solution, )

Now I got only a USB sound when I plug mobile to laptop and even if I'm holding a power button that sounds changed like something is going on but really there is no any sign to see anything.

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Any solution how to run it again ?

Thanks ! I had visited it before I saw this post again and made it like that. Installed a Ubuntu, downloaded files and did it. :o:o:o

Would highly suggest to stop trying to flash random files to your phone. Flashing a "no red text" hboot will not solve your problem. This file is not for your phone(hence the android info fail) and anyway it's really outdated. You would also need s-off to flash this file as stated in the OP (your phone is s-on).

Good thing that your phone was s-on, it prevented you to make the situation worse (going from a 7.x firmware to 4.x firmware using an Ota package = instant qhsusb_dload brick)

[One (M7) General] iElvis:
If you can get to the bootloader screen, your phone is not bricked. You should be able to flash correct firmware/rom from that point.

Brick = black screen, no response, QHUSB_DLOAD in device manager. That state is very hard to recover from and usually requires professional service.
