Do NOT install it, looks real dodgy to me. There's a bunch of typos in the description for starters. Probably some type of fishing scam.

What happens if you cancel it, does it come back?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:
Hi,

I purchased an HTC One M7 over the internet. It arrived with CyanogenMod on it, but to use my SIM with it, I had to flash AT&T's stock ROM onto the phone. I know little about actually dealing with Phone ROMs & other software things, so I'm unsure what I currently have on this phone.

If I do a factory reset, SuperSU Installer is always an app pre-installed. If I update it and try to root the device, after it reboots, a red triangle with exclamation point comes up with a phone under it. Then after some time, or if I manually do it, it reboots and enters a reboot loop until I go to the boot loader and Factory Reset it again. I read somewhere that this comes up to show that the Recovery is write-protected or something similar.

When booting to the bootloader, this is the information that appears:

*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
<date>

HBOOT

<commands>

FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
SHOW BARCODE

I don't have a warranty to begin with, so I don't particularly care if the TAMPERED message comes up.

If I try and flash CyanogenMod onto the phone using CM's desktop & phone program/app, when the phone reboots, it goes to the bootloader which causes the program on my desktop computer to lose track of the phone.

So, now to my question: What state is this phone in? i.e. Is it rooted? If it is, what is installed on it aside from HBOOT & AT&T's stock ROM, if anything? If it's not, is it because I used AT&T's stock ROM?

My ultimate goal is to get CyanogenMod back on this phone correctly, but everything I've tried with that has hit some roadblock (their desktop program/phone app combo failing, installing TWRP failing, etc.) Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tremor.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cichlidiot:
Your phone is still S-ON. To be free to do what you want you need to get to S-OFF, methinks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:
Thanks.

That's one thing I was curious about though. If I require S-OFF to install CM, then did my installing of AT&T's ROM cause it to switch to S-ON since it had CM on it before? Just curious.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok can you boot the phone to the bootloader connect fastboot usb, then in the fastboot command line type

fastboot getvar all

This will give an output of all the version information for the device. Post it here after removing your IMEI and Serial numbers. You don't want to advertise those ;)

And no you don't need s-off to flash roms, and flashing stock at&t did not and cannot set s-on again.

Let's start with the getvar and take it from there :good:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If it goes to boot loader then it sounds like your missing a good recovery image. Flash the recovery and then flash a rom.

Stay away from PC installers and ROM manager.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:
Yes, I entered the bootloader, then I switched to Fastboot which gave me a screen like this:

*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
<date>

FASTBOOT

<commands>

BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN

If I move the selection down to REBOOT or any other command, FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB and stays that way.

However, my PC says the USB device malfunctioned, and running the "fastboot getvar all" command does this:

< waiting for device >

When the HTC One is on and plugged in, it shows up just fine as "My HTC One" under Android USB Devices in Device Manager, so the drivers work.

It only goes to bootloader when I hold down the Volume Down button.

Not sure how to do that. Still learning.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Sounds like a driver problem on the pc side. Check your drivers are installed correctly.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
The failed message is normal with Hboot 1.44 you will always get that until you update hboot. ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:
Ah. Good to know.

So in my journey to learn, I decided I wanted to try updatig HBOOT. Which, from what I've read, requires S-OFF, so I went to Firewater. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I needed S-OFF & Firewater, and did the following with S-ON:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip hboot_firewater>version<.zip

Which failed. My phone still works and can get to the fastboot/HBOOT screen, so from what I can tell, no harm was done.

Running firewater based on the instructions on their webpage doesn't really do anything. It pushes the firewater file to the /tmp on the device, but won't run it. Not sure why. Specifically, this happens:

adb reboot
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
adb shell

That goes fine. This is where the strange things start:

shell@android:/ $ su
1|shell@android:/ $ chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
shell@android:/ $ /data/local/tmp/firewater
error, run firewater as root. su or FU!!!!!!
1|shell@android:/ $ su /data/local/tmp/firewater

That's exactly as it appears in the Terminal. While it's doing this, I get lots of pop ups on Linux about how it's unable to mount the Android Phone. I check my phone after doing the above commands, and it's on the stock AT&T ROM I installed.

There's nothing mentioned about Firewater and nothing has happened AFAIK. Firewater's page says there should be a prompt or something, but there's not.

Ok so let's get you phone booting again.

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

Download this and place it in your fastboot folder. Rename it recovery.img

Flash your recovery with fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now select recovery from the bootloader menu. Now we can push the Rom.

Download this stock Rom drop it in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip

http://www.htc1guru.com/did/guru_reset_m7_1-26-502-12-zip/

And push to the phone with

adb push rom.zip /sdcard

The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes several minutes when it's done install the Rom with twrp recovery.

Oh so you have a Rom booting? Ok I'm a little busy for the next hour. If you want to go s-off don't update anything just yet.

Getting s-off will be harder after you update ;)

Use this toolkit to get s-off with revone as your on hboot 1.44 ;) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2364445
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:
ARGH. Didn't read the whole post before doing anything. Finished flashing the recovery.img to the recovery before I finished your post. I needed a different recovery anyway as I don't like the current one, so yay at least. I didn't boot into recovery though, so hopefully I'm fine.

It's fine. Take your time. I've got all day.

Yes, I would like S-OFF just so I can update HBOOT so that if I want to tinker with my phone in the future it will be easier to do. I may not like CyanogenMod, so trying out Kit Kat and other things will be easier (I imagine) without whatever is making it hard to deal with this phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Same here. Give me my games and a few apps and good bye Windows lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok so cool, flashing recovery won't cause any issues with s-off later on, so you can flash what ever recovery you preffer.

Hboot can be updated without s-off but once you do it gets much harder to s-off as HTC have implemented patches into the newer firmware to try and prevent it. unless you wanna pay $25 for Sunshine app which should work regardless.

Getting s-off with revone is by far the easiest way to do it for free if your on hboot 1.44 ;) Personally I've never used revone all devices I s-offed were already on higher hboot versions so had to use other methods. So you should read through the link I posted to get that done but it sounds fairly simple using that toolkit. Once your s-off the sky's the limit pretty much. ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:

I tried that tool, but this is what happened:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Good job man :highfive: now you can update, without any worries :D

The important thing now is not to skip any firmware versions while you update. e.g you can't jump from you current 1.xx.502.x firmware to 3.xx.502.x or 4.xx.502.x

So it's probably best to flash an ruu then update through OTA updates. Give me a few minutes I'll post links to what you need ;)

[MENTION=6127732]TremorPV[/MENTION]

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_ul_jb43_50_cingular_3-10-502-2-zip/

You can flash this it will jump you to 3.xx.502.x this is safe as it's an ruu not a firmware update so it contains the full firmware.

After that you'll be back to stock and able to install OTA updates. I've chosen this zip as it can be flashed with Linux. As you will run into fastboot problems with Windows 8.

So download the ruu and put it in your fastboot folder. Rename it ruu.zip open a Terminal and flash it with fastboot.

Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. In the terminal use these command to flash the ruu.

sudo fastboot erase cache
sudo fastboot oem rebootRUU

< --- case sensitive --- ^^^

The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the ruu.

sudo fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.

sudo fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.

sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader

You should now be able to reboot and check for further updates in Settings.

Once your done you can Flash your custom recovery and start enjoying the wide variety of roms we are blessed with on our M7s :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:

My provider is Cellular One (I think they are under AT&T where I live. Not sure.) and not AT&T, so could that create issues? I'm connected to the Internet via WiFi so I doubt it's a connection problem.

To get your device updated further you will need to flash the 4.xx firmware from the link with the same procedure we used to flash the ruu.zip.

Then run the ruu from the next link

The ruu is an exe and must be flashed with Windows. Since your no longer on hboot 1.44 that shouldn't be a problem

Finally see the last link to get the final 5.xx firmware update. :good:

Put the zip on your internal storage of your phone. Reboot to the bootloader. Select Recovery from the bootloader menu.

The screen will turn black for a short while then display an image of a phone with a red exclamation (this is normal in the stock recovery)

Hold volume up and press power to reveal the Stock recovery menu ignore errors about mount sd card that's normal too.

From the menu choose install update from internal storage and choose the OTA.zip. After that your all done. You can go ahead and flash. Custom recovery and so on :good: :highfive: ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
I always use TWRP I'm still using 2.6.3.3 not the latest but still most stable in my opinion. You should be aware though you can't always use the same recovery for every Rom.

You should always check in a roms thread to see which is preferred recovery for that particular Rom.

And your Welcome :good: ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:
Ok, so...

I have TWRP v2.6.3.3 installed. It's unlocked with S-OFF and the Tamper thing went away. HBOOT is v1.57. Firmware version is 5.12.502.2. I downloaded CyanogenMod's "cm-10.2.1-m7att.zip". I booted into TWRP via recovery from the bootloader. I pushed the zip using:

adb push cm-10.2.1-m7att.zip /sdcard

I go into TWRP and hit Install. I select cm-10.2.1-m7att.zip. I slide to flash. Then I get this:

Updating partition details...
Installing '/sdcard/cm-10.2.1-m7att.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
assert failed: getprop("ro.product device") == getprop("ro.product.device") == "m7att"
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-10.2.1-m7att.zip"
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-10.2.1-m7att.zip'
Updating partition details...

Some of it is cut off since the console goes off the screen.

And under that, it says "Failed" in red. It boots to my stock AT&T ROM still.

Maybe it's the wrong zip? >guess based on the assert failed message<

Then I tried the CM wiki instructions to wipe the ROM first via TWRP's Wipe function, then try it, but it failed the same way.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok to be on the safe side before you try to flash another Rom use twrp to make a backup. That way if you do get a bad flash just restore your backup.

Check the md5 of your download with this tool www.winmd5.com the correct md5 can be found where you downloaded the Rom. This will tell you if it's a bad (corrupt) download.

But to my knowledge CM roms require TWRP 2.7.1.2 or Clockwork mod 6.0.4.8
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TremorPV:
That did it. Jumping to TWRP 2.8.1.0 allowed me to flash the ROM correctly. Once it's done, I'll re-flash the recovery back to 2.6.3.3 for backups and whatnot.
