[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxicfumes22:
[Fixed][Solution]

This should work for anyone who soft bricked there device but still has the 1.44 HBoot to allow them to still flash a recovery. I did not come up with any of this but was helped by nkk71 who showed me the way. I dealt with this problem for over 2 days now non-stop trying to fix it only missing 1 step that made all the difference.

This method is for a HTC One (M7) Sprint Variant:

-Be sure to use HTCDev to unlock your phone and flash a custom recovery. (I used TWRP)

-Be sure to have all the adb and fastboot exe files needed. If you bricked your phone you most likely already do but if not there are tons of links on the forums to help you get all the information you need from them.

-Check to make sure what RUU your phone is at by going into fastboot and using a cmd window type: fasboot getvar all. This will display your phones information. If you happen to be at 1.31 like my phone was you will need to do the next step, if not then find your recovery.

- Fix your version main to say 1.29.651.10 by editing the misc partition

Boot into recovery

In the recovery mount your device. I mounted all parts in TWRP.

Open a cmd window and doucle check that your device is connected by typing: adb devices

(If it shows a set up numbers and letters and then says recovery then that is your device.)

Now type: adb shell

type: echo "1.29.651.10" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160

type: adb reboot bootloader

Once it loads back into the bootloader click on fastboot and check to see if your device is connected by typing: fastboot devices

If you see you device type: fastboot oem lock (This will relock your device)

- Now you are ready to run the RUU. (After it runs your phone is back to stock)

If any of this is confusing, there are links below that were used to get me through this. If you need to do this I wish you luck.

Original Post:

So basically I erased everything. Not sure how but phone Bricked. Luckily i have a 1.44Hboot and I simply just burned the recovery back.

Unforunately I've stopped messing with phones for about 2 years so it took me forever to get everything set back up properly. Now my biggest issue is I can't manage to get a ROM to boot anymore. The closest one is ViperOne 8, I've tried Android Revolution HD91.1 (which started all my troubles), NUSenSeven which is having issues for more people as well, and tried a very basic Stock M7 one.

Any information you give please act like I'm stupid. I can do adb and fastboot, but if you just say flash it, please dont expect me to know how. I've forgotten tons.

Anyways, currently my phone shows the:

*Tampered*

*Unlocked*

S-On

I have been trying to get it to S-off and then remove the Tampered but I can't get s-off with Revone.

Gives me Error = 1 and I'm just totally lost. But not I can't even seem to get a ROM to load and when it does I have no Service on this phone anymore and I have to remove the HTCsetupwizard.apk. Unfortunately sometimes this does not show up in system/app and under system might not show anything at all.

If that is standard to happen right after a fresh install without loading then that kind of makes sense. Also, I only wait about 10minutes on booting for the roms. Only Rom I wait longer on is the ViperOne 8 as it shows upgrading.

Please advise, I'm will to try anything. I'm having a huge headache with this and throwing the phone into a wall is becoming a reality.
