[Sprint HTC One (M8)] munsterrr:
This has been a problem with me through all OTAs. My local service center is a bunch of ass hats so I call Sprint every few days to report the same thing and go through the whole reset process so when I go tomorrow, there are several logs with the same problem and there is no questioning giving me a new one.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] vitaminjay1982:
It took me going to 5 different stores to find a tech that knew what he was doing. I hope this merge goes through and John Legere fires everyone. Except the few that do their job.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] the drugstore:
Agreed Sprints in store techs are basically useless. Most of them have no clue on what they are doing and think they are superior to anyone else.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdg1980:
My One (M7) won't stop restarting and keeps boot looping repeatedly since I went from Renovate to Revolution HD 6.1 GE yesterday evening. I am able to get into the recovery, wipe data, erase cache, dalvik, etc. But no matter how many times I have freshly installed the zip file, wiped cache and dalvik, it keeps booting up only till the 'Welcome' Screen (of Google) and restarts itself without my even touching the phone.

I tried to even force shut the phone but it just won't shut down and automatically restarts itself with that familiar buzz of the One.

I know this phone has been bricked but never had this big of an issue switching between ROMs in the past, given the process of doing it is very straightforward (zip file download--erase/wipe data--cache--dalvik cache--restart).

For my phone's safety and not 'burn it out' by repeatedly restarting itself, I have currently kept the phone on the CWM recovery screen as I write.

I forgot to add that I even did factory reset three times

Any help or suggestions?

[MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION]; Thanks for the link for TWRP. My issue right now is I cannot access the virtual SD and don't know how to transfer the TWRP zip from the comp to the One without having the computer recognizing it as USB. Does that make sense?

My system is Windows 8.1, and I tried reading up the forums here for the correct HTC driver for 8.1 without much insight into the correct driver.

@ Sahil: I appreciate your attempt at helping me, but sometimes seniors forget that they were juniors at some point. Saying something with emphasis doesn't exactly get the point across. I know I have to "Fix. driver. issues" but it's easier said than done when you are in a catch-22 where both recovery and the bootloader are accessible, but you cannot have the computer recognize your phone because...well, the driver is being recognized and yet not recognized. Let me explain. When I connect the phone to the computer, it briefly shows up as removable storage (with the "10 gb out of 25.2 available" page) but since it is constantly bootlooping, it doesn't stay long enough on the page for me to access it. To compound my frustration, in the boot loader, clicking on 'fastboot' immediately flashes the message that I mentioned previously (USB not recognized...). In short, I KNOW that my phone is in working condition, but I am stuck in a continuity of hurdles.

I am desperately trying to read right now and find the correct drivers for my HTC One (with Windows 8.1 compatibility)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
windows 8.1 only has problems with the old 1.54 and 1.44 hboot .. the drivers work fine with hboot 1.55 and up.

Have you actually shut the phone off yet ?

hold the phone under a lamp and hold the power button and vol down and count to 60. let go of the power button and continue to hold vol down till you get to the bootloader. quickly hit power and volume down to shut off and hit power.

leave it off for a couple min then bootup again holding vol down.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
boot phone in your actual recovery (cwm) with the twrp.zip file in your adb/fastboot folder, open a command prompt

adb push TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7.zip /sdcard/

then flash twrp.zip from cwm, clear cache and reboot the phone to twrp

then you'll be able to boot in twrp recovery and adb push and flash newer sense roms (i.e sense ARHD)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdg1980:
@ alray

I understand here that you are asking me to boot into the CWM recovery, correct? I can definitely do that. The next part of your instruction is a bit harder for me to follow. I sincerely apologize if I sound idiotic. I am trying to learn here so that if it happens again (or anyone suffers the same fate), I would know what to do or say. Kindly walk me through here.

I have the TRWP zip file. If I place/put it in the adb/fastboot folder, how do I run the command prompt without the computer flashing the USB message?

So, here is what I am gathering from your directions

a) Boot into recovery (?)

b) Connect the computer via cable and run the command prompt and the script (?) [Here won't the computer flash USB not recognized?)

Again, I am sorry again I am asking what might perhaps be stupid questions to you or other senior members. I appreciate everyone's efforts in helping me out here.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes

Windows 8.1 doesn't play nice with hboot 1.44 and 1.54 for FASTBOOT connection (phone in bootloader mode). It should work fine using ADB (when your phone is booted in custom recovery or in the OS)

so you could try to fix your drivers with the info cIsA gave you and flash your recovery the ''standard'' way via fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery[B][COLOR="Red"].img[/COLOR][/B]
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

or

get rid of windows 8.1 and use a good OS (imo) like Windows 7, XP, Linux, or MacOs so you can connect your phone to you computer without issues

or

flash the recovery.zip from recovery. in this case you must copy the recovery.zip to your internal memory (/sdcard) using ADB:

open the folder where you have ADB/FASTBOOT in, hold left shift + right click a blank space in that folder, select ''start command prompt here''

then in the command prompt enter this command:

adb push TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7[B][COLOR="Red"].zip[/COLOR][/B] /sdcard/

then hit ''enter'' and wait for the file to transfer

when the transfer is completed, flash the zip file using cwm, erase cache and reboot in your new recovery, push a rom that doesn't require s-off (i.e arhd 71.1) using the same method:

adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/

then flash the rom and enjoy your phone ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdgreat4:
To make stuff easier download minimal adb and fastboot from the net. Copy the zip into the folder and do what the gut above said
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdg1980:
So, I installed the TWRP using the method you mentioned, rebooted, deleted cache, and then again, 'push Android_Revolution_HD-One_71.1.zip /sdcard/'

How long was/is this supposed to take, being a gig file? In the cmd window, the cursor just blinks and nothing is happening (unlike installing TWRP when it installed in few seconds)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Should take between 5-10 min
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdg1980:
Firstly, I would like to thank EACH and EVERY senior member to itsber here who helped me through this crisis. It has been an eye opener for me, being a junior member. I managed to follow the steps outlined and restore my phone to its working condition with ARHD 71.1. THANKS A LOT!!!

Also, for those who are thinking of flashing ARHD 6.1 GPE on their One, make sure that your phone has S-off. That might have one reason why my phone went into a tailspin of automatic bootup and restarts. There might have been something else going on with that ROM as well. I am not sure. Repeated cleanup of cache and factory resets didn't help the cause earlier.

Anyways, I would like to make a small donation via Paypal to our community (especially for helping me out and showing us the ropes). If you can put up the link here, that would be nice.

Cheers everyone and happy flashing!:good::good::good::D

the same when I try to manually find and install the OTA in recovery. The phone is stock, rooted, s-off, cid 11111111. the only thing I tried to mess with was changing the system file wpa_supplicant with a different version from CM11 (in order to allow the phone to recognize ad-hoc wlan), but that seems to be irrelevant, because at the time I didn't know that you have to be S-OFF so that any of the changes in root stay permanent....

So the phone basically is all stock if i'm not mistaken???

I have no idea why it won't update.

Again: I received the update even before I had S-OFF and CID11111111 . It won't install even after changing those.

I'm clearly at loss here... I want the stock update to also update the firmware not only for the ROM.

pls give me a hint , I'm a total noob

Cable charger was one other reason HTC should concentrate, when bending too often it will ruin connectivity with cable, in later production it should be right.

[One (M7) General] cee43ja1:
Even with the M8 out, my launch M7 is still viable. No camera problems, no speaker problems, no microphone problems, just the standard battery degradation over time. IMO, the M8 is an incremental upgrade from an M7. Had HTC upped the Ultrapixel count, then it would be a different story.

4.4.2 Sense 6 really refreshed the phone. And with a kernel, you get wake gestures and logo2menu (but we had that since the start of developing :p)
[One (M7) General] Sensamic:
What speaker and microphone problems? Never heard of those.

Does every HTC One M7 have the purple tint issue or just some? No fix available (even using the warranty and sending it to HTC to repair)?

How's battery life for you now? How much screen on time do you usually get?
[One (M7) General] cee43ja1:
A few launch (U.S. from what I remember) units had defective noise cancelling mics, and others had defective bottom/right speakers.

Battery life is around 12 hours with 3 hours screen on and about 30% left, using power saver mode. I'm still tweaking the voltage settings in the kernel.

I never had the purple tint issue. Low light always came out crisp. I'll let this speak for itself. Taken last week around midnight.
[One (M7) General] Sensamic:
That battery life is mostly the same as my SGS3, but I never use power saving mode. Might be the 1080P display sucking more battery compared to my 720P display on the SGS3.

2. my device build quality was not the best as it was from the first batches. there was some little gaps here and there but they fixed it for me when I sent it back to change the camera because of purple tint problem. now it is perfect. I recommend you to check there are no gaps between speaker caps and body and also display is 100% aligned with body when you buy your phone in store. although I think such manufacturing problems should not exist anymore. I am a careful person with my phone so there are no dent or scratches.
