3: I have tried fastboot, flashify, rom toolbox pro and linux to flash twrp images. every one of them does so without error, yet I can not get into twrp. The md5 on every file I have tried to flash checked out ok.

4: I installed the ruu from dottat kitkat 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 and installed the ruu version of twrp 2.7.0.8 and 2.7.1.12 and still recovery does not load. This is after installing an ruu and wipes the phone completely.

5:I have tried everything that has been suggested including running the commands from a linux terminal.

If anybody knows how to fix this please help!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
Educate me: what's an RUU version of TWRP, as opposed to any other kind?

Which precise filename(s) of TWRP are you trying, where are you getting them?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
they are in zip format and can be downloaded from dottat thread in the developer section. you use the command fasboot flash zip "filename"

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jpradley:
OK, thanks.

But what's wrong with the file format that most everyone uses for a recovery installation, which isn't a *zip file, but a *img file?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
It is my understanding that img files can be flashed directly from fastboot or flashify etc. the zip file contains the image file and also a txt file and can only be flashed while your phone is in ruu mode "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

since there is 2 files that it why it is zipped. the txt file contained in there is the istructions that tell the rom update utility how to flash the enclosed recovery image file.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Fastboot erase cache

Then flash your recovery again and see what you have.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
I have tried that command, it does not solve recovery not loading. Trust me I have tried every suggestion I can find on the internet and nothing solves this. I am hoping someone out there has knowledge of exaclty how the recovery partition works because at this point it would appear that the recovery partition on my phone is either not being written to or is corrupted.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
When you flash the ruu mode twrp put a -w on the end of the command.

Is a sure sign that something isn't set up right for flashing to the device.

It will never work if that is the result in terminal.

Are you using Usb 2.0 and the original data cable that is meant for the device?

I think you probably never successfully flashed any recovery.

I would advise trying a cable meant for this device.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
I am using the htc cable that came with the phone. I will double check that I am using USB 2.0 and try a different cable.

I also noticed wihen flashing with rom toolbox pro is says successful yet also says #error: cannot locate recovery partition

Is it possible my recovery partitiion is not there?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
I just tried several cables including the the one from htc. I also made sure I was using a usb 2.0 port. I still get the failed(remote not allowed)

Thank you for the help btw.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
Hi, I think I have figured this one out. I changed my phone from blue to red. Verizon only offers silver or blue. Anyway I thought I might have damaged my motherboard, So I bought a silver verizon htc one off ebay with a cracked screen. (easy fix). So I swapped the hardware from the silver to my red and with a new board in the red shell twrp does not load. However my old board wich twrp would not load on is now in the silver shell and twrp now loads. Bottom line the red shell is the problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
Update. The red shell is 100% to blame for recovery software not loading. I did some more tinkering with two m7 motherboards and in a stock verizon silver shell twrp loads. Both board when in the red shell, twrp does not load.

If anyone out there was thinking of converting their blue or silver verizon m7 to a different color. Be warned that your recovery software will probably not load once you transfer the hardware over to the new shell.

I guess if I want a red htc one that twrp works on, I have to get a m8 :eek:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Or just.... Paint it with a good quality modeling paint (like you buy for model cars, boats, etc). It is durable and lasts if you know how to coat it correctly. :P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
Doesn't seem to me that you solved the initial problem, just found a work around for it. I have the same problem with my phone not accepting the stock recovery for what ever reason. It will, however, accept the TWRP recovery, but this doesn't do me any good wrt warranty returns. before I S-On and Lock it, I need to have the stock recovery installed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Have you tried ruu? That should flash the stock recovery and everything else stock. Need to ruu when you s-on to ensure everything is okay before turning secure flag on.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
I have RUU'd the following and in different orders:

5.28.605.2_NoBoot-IMG_firmware.zip

VZW.M7.5.28.605.2.PN0731IMG.zip

as well as "fastboot flash recovery 5.28.605.2_Stock_recovery.img"

all with a scattering of "fastboot erase cache".

The flash says it is successful, but when I boot to recovery, the screen graphics are garbage and when not garbage, it's the ! droid after the usual 15-20 sec blank screen. When I flash TWRP either via flash recovery or RUU that takes and works just fine. But this obviously isn't a "back to stock" set up.

Thoughts?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Have you tried the 2.x.y.z signed ruu in santod's stock Rom/firmware thread? Unsigned ruus are good, but sometimes a signed, official ruu gets the job done that unofficial ones can't.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
Is the signed one located here? I have not only because I have not read that one can go backwards, especially that far back. Can this be done successfully? What are the risks? Does the signed RUU contain all he necessary files to restart after the flash, are there any supporting flashes necessary (HBOOT, Recovery, Radios, etc.) Is this a viable solution or a shot in the dark which could brick the device?

Thanks for the on-going troubleshooting. I'm not trying to be a pain, just being careful since I am unfamiliar with the bootload/security features build into the system.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
I have done this. You need to flash each firmware.zip from each OTA backwards. I can round them up if you'd like.

Edit... Flash each twice in ruu mode.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
Start with 4 (2x), then 3 (2x), then 2 (2x)? And with a reboot-bootloader in between each or just a reboot then adb back to bootloader to oem flash again? OR no reboot in between?

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Depends on the phone. If it gets wonky then yes. On the m7 I have even had to unplug and reconnect at times.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
YES !!!!! After several attempts (albeit with corrupt graphics), I think I was able to wipe data/factory reset and/or wipe cache partition from the system recovery menu. After a full system reboot and system setup (registered and able to receive calls), I went back into the recovery from HBOOT and the recovery graphics are clear as a bell and usable. Fantastic! Time to update to latest carrier image (OTA), then lock and S-ON and ship to HTC for warranty repair.

Thanks dottat for your support.

Ok ... spoke too soon. From the clear system recovery menu, performing a reset/wipe cache then rebooting back to the recovery menu, the graphics are hosed once more. Ah well. I'm just going to lock it up and send it back ... maybe HTC will figure it out.

Thanks for all your help XDA.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Which twrp are you using and does cwr do that same?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
At the moment, not using either. Went back to stock. Prior to all this however, I was using TWRP 2.7.1.2. Since it took me this long to get back to stock, I have no plans to try CWR or TWRP. Unless, of course, there may be something to learn from experimenting.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Grab the latest img from here and flash it in fastboot and see what you get.

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7vzw
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
Ok....

Flashed latest TWRP, boot to recovery, graphics are fine (was also able to easily install root access too), reboot back to bootloader, reflashed stock recovery, boot to recovery, graphics hosed. Boot to HBOOT, graphics are good. Boot to recovery, graphics messed up, but menus function correctly (although guessing at the selections).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
What stock recovery are you using? The same one for whatever firmware you are on. You can pull the stock recovery image out of those firmware zips and flash it via fastboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
Using the recovery that matches the firmware.

If there is anything else you'd like me to try, I can. However, I am flashing the 5.28.605.2 RUU now. The game plan is to reflash TRWP, install root if not already installed from the RUU, flash stock recovery, then lock the bootloader, unroot, then S-ON and ship.

But I am willing to experiment until the bootloader is locked.

I really want to get the purple camera image warranty fixed to get this phone back to top notch condition.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Sounds good for now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gryghst72:
Special thanks to Vaping Redhead and moderators for allowing this relevant thread hijack. It's been most helpful.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
That is weird you had all those issues. On my wife's m7, I just flashed 2.x firmware without gradually going down, flashed signed ruu, then used HTC Sync to update to 5.x. I did it this way with a locked bootloader and s-off to ensure I got the sticker files and that everything was "stock" without root, etc. After the update to 5.x I went s-on and shipped.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
Hopefully you get the purple camera problem fixed. My m7 has started the purple camera issue in low light only. If I ever get around to it, I have a spare camera that I can install. I am pretty sure that is what HTC does, they replace the camera. I am curious though, what part they replace. Anyway if they give you static just tell them to fix it. This purple problem is on them.

Hello. I have ONE S, S4, unlocked with newest CWM installed. Unfortunately, I do have hboot 3.01, so it seems like i can't install any good custom ROM. My CID is ORANGB10, phone is S-ON.

I think that i have to S-OFF it first and then downgrade hboot to 2.15 or 2.16.

With S-OFF I am pretty comfortable, but I have no idea how to perform downgrade. Seems like i have to change CID to SUPERCID, but then what? Run good RUU?

Can someone explain it to me in a simplest possible way? Or maybe there is something that I do not know about?

Send digital audio out of headunit

Dug around a lot and found no listing for this. It might help some folks so I am posting it expecting to get dumped on for not finding the needle in the haystack nearest the moon on Rygel 7. Fire away. Most Android based head units for cars have USB connectors on them. In the world of audio it is best not to convert audio from analogue to digital and back too many times. I like many have an offboard digital based signal processor between my headunit and power amps. I would like to send digital to the processor but most head units don't offer a digital output even as an option and the few that I have found that do source that signal before the volume control in the signal's path so you can't control your listening level with the volume control on your head unit. Apparently Android Kit Kat (4.??) has some driver compatibility with certain audio devices (sound cards?). Android 5 or Lollipop has more. With that do I assume that most USB audio sound cards would be plug and play? What would a head unit developer need to do in order to maintain function of the volume control of the existing head unit assuming it was a droid device of course.

One of the things I hated most about my V551 was that it only let you flip to the first letter in contacts.

My 8525 has the opposite problem - it searches both the first and last names AND BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!

For instance if I wanted to find John Doe I'd punch in 564, but it will also pull up contacts like John Hancock or James Opie. Basically it does TOO deep of a search.

Any options to narrow it down as I have hundreds of contacts, maybe over 1000.
