[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidstings:
I have a 2 year old Rogers M7. Not unlocked and never rooted.

Yesterday it was fine one moment, then a few seconds later, without me even touching it, it showed a picture of the phone with a red triangle with a "!". All night it was restarting until the battery was dead this morning. Volume up and power work, and give 5 fails to mount the sd card. Spoke to HTC online tech, we went through a couple things and her last option was to manually install the ROM but refused to help when it was learned that I live in Canada. It seemed to reset ok, but HTC sync doesn't recognize it except for a couple seconds while it's starting up.

Is there anything else I can do with it? or is it just a paperweight now?

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Android Manual:
Well... There is one thing you could do.

:)

Can you still boot into the bootloader? or when you do the button combo it just shows that "!" ? I believe your phone is similar to the international variant so you can just go ahead and root your phone then flash a ROM of your choice. Follow the steps I'll be listing below. Do these at your OWN RISK.

Prerequisites

-Working adb and fastboot. If you don't have them you can try using this.

-Your preferred custom ROM.

-Windows computer (WIndows 8.1 is fine).

-Your phone with a good amount of battery in it.

Unlocking and flashing process

1.Unlock your bootloader using HTC Dev.

2.Flash a custom recovery.

You flash a custom recovery like this using fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery <recoveryName>.img

3.Use TWRP to copy the ROM zip file to your internal storage.

4.Do a nandroid backup.

5.Do an advanced wipe (Wipe data, system, cache and dalvik cache partitions).

6.Do a factory reset (Wipe Data/Factory reset).

7.Flash the ROM's kernel using fastboot.

fastboot erase cache

then

fastboot flash boot <imageName>.img

7.Flash your preferred ROM.

8.Tell me if it worked and enjoy!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
This screen is the stock recovery main page.

You'll always get this "sd card mount fail" 5 times when revealing the stock recovery menu, its normal on the M7, there is no sd card to mount.

Spoke to HTC online tech, we went through a couple things and her last option was to manually install the ROM but refused to help when it was learned that I live in Canada.

Can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" or at least post all the info you see in your bootloader menu.

Uninstall HTC Sync, you don't want this thing to interact with the phone while fixing it. Don't uninstall drivers, just HTC sync.

There is a RUU for Rogers to brings your phone back to stock but first, post your "fastboot getvar all" so we can make sure it will flash fine on your phone.

[MENTION=4662845]The Android Manual[/MENTION] Just for your information my friend:

Yes rogers are M7_UL too.

There is a RUU for Rogers, would recommend to wait for OP's phone info to see if he can use it and keep his phone locked & stock... unless he prefer a custom rom over stock

It depends, fastboot commands won't work on Win 8.1 if his hboot is 1.44 as explained here

Won't hurt but not needed (unlike some other htc's phone). Kernel partition (boot) isn't secured on the M7 which mean boot.img can be flashed in recovery if the bootloader is unlocked (s-off not needed). For this reason, all custom roms you'll find here will flash their own kernel automatically at the same time you flash the rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Android Manual:
The last HTC device that lasted 3 years with me was the One X (my AT&T M7 either got bricked or had battery issue) and I never tried to get it S-OFF'ed since I really did no't see any use for it back in the day plus its screen was having problems anyway. This is new knowledge for me thanks!

and to the OP, if you need more help the quote button is your friend.

Good luck!

I have the same phone. Like [MENTION=3070392]majmoz[/MENTION] suggested I would flash the Rogers lolipop ruu zip from the link in his thread. You want the 7.17.631.7. Note you must use htc fastboot the link is in the post also. Flashing the RUU will erase all data, if you don't have a backup of the sdcard you may want to unlock bootloader flash twrp recovery so you can copy to PC, then relock bootloader and flash ruu.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidstings:
Thanks for the advice. I believe I've downloaded that RUU already ( sorry, what's the difference between RUU and ROM? is one custom and the other carrier generated?). I managed to get the identifier token last night, but the phone's never been set to allow usb debugging. will that cause issues with flashing? I'm not worried about losing anything, it's going to my son, so better clean.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidstings:
I downloaded the ruu from the link on XDA but the .zip won't extract.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
A RUU stands for Rom Update Utility. Its an official file from HTC that flashes many partitions like the system partition (the rom/OS), the recovery partition, bootloader, radio partition, touch drivers, IR drivers...... well all partitions that are not specific to your phone and that will make it stock again. The only partition that are not flashed when using a RUU are those containing unique info about your phone like the MFG partition containing your IMEI number, Serial number, Date of manufactures etc.

A rom is only the /system partition flashed using a custom recovery. So when you flash a ROM (eiither custom or stock) you only flash the system partition and all other are kept like they was before the flash.

You don't need usb debugging when flashing a RUU. USB debuging is only needed to use ADB commands when booted in the OS. A RUU is flashed using FASTBOOT commands when booted in the bootloader.

This is explained in the same post from where you have downloaded the file.... You might want to read the OP of the thread you are downloading files from :good: Not trying to be rude btw but lack of reading can sometime makes the situation worst. so just for you here it is again: The ruu are encrypted so they can't be extracted or opened and don't need to be, only flash it on your phone.

and instruction how to flash the ruu are posted just below these warnings, just click on the "show more" button.

Might be easier to just unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery and then a rom like suggested at post #2

Youv said you already have your identifier token, go ahead and submit it to htcdev.com/bootloader (must create and account first). They will reply with an e-mail containing a file named Unlock_code.bin. Download and save the file in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot installed on your computer.

Then boot your phone in bootloader, make sure "fastboot usb" is shown in red (if not select the FASTBOOT option)

Open a terminal window from the same folder where you have adb and fastboot on your computer.

Type:

fastboot oem flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

don't forget the capital U at Unlock_code.bin, fastboot and adb commands are case sensitive.

You should now see a screen asking if you want to unlock the phone, select YES (use volume up/down and power button)

The phone should then reboot to bootloader after performing a factory reset. Once done, confirm that your bootloader screen shows ***UNLOCKED*** and post back here, I'll post the isntruction how to flash the recovery.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidstings:
I'm sorry. been reading so much about ROMs and RUUs that I forgot that I already unlocked the bootloader. I downloaded the 7.17.631.7.zip from the collection threat on here but it doesn't seem to work. sorry for the wasted time. SOOO sorry!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb_guy:
Think you're still confused with ROMs and RUUs.

Roms are what you'll find in the dvelopment forms and require custom recovery like twrp and bootloader unlocked. Roms likely just replace the system partition.

Ruu are total phone restore to stock, it will delete data and replace the phones recovery, system, data and boot partitions. To flash you require the bootloader locked, when the phone is S-on..

So if you want to flash the ruu 7.17.631.7 you need to relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock), once you have that done, check for the latest OTA 7.17.631.35 and apply while you still have stock recovery. Then if you want a custom recovery like twrp again, unlock the bootloader (hope you kept the unlock token from before) [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION] gave you the adb command a post or two above. Then flash the recovery.

Hope this helps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidstings:
Now I'm completely confused. I thought I was unlocking it in order to bring it back from brickdom. I do understand RUU's and ROMs. It doesn't matter what I decide to put on it. My son would probably enjoy a rooted phone even if he knows nothing about it. The phone's a few years old so something as fast as it used to be would be enjoyed by him.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb_guy:
Ok, let me try again.

If you want to flash a rom,

1) unlocked bootloader (you have)

2) Flash custom recovery like twrp (I don't see that you have done this) so may be easier to go the ruu route.

3) Use custom recovery to install rom. I like the arhd ones

If you want to flash the RUU

1) relock the bootloader

2) flash the ruu, once this is done and the phone rebooted and running it will be at 7.17.631.7, go to settings about and check for system updates. You should receive an OTA which is 7.17.631.35. Install it.

3) You can leave the phone like this, or re-unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery like twrp. This will give you the ability to do nandroid backups, root the phone or install custom roms if you want.

Either method should work, the choice is yours

Hope this is clearer.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidstings:
OK, thanks. I'll try that. just a quick note... when I put the phone in fastboot usb, the "fastboot usb" indicator actually dissapears as soon as i connect the usb cable until i highlight another option with the volume button. If it doesn't dissapear, at least part of the indicator does, so I see perhaps just the bottom half of the words and highlight bar until I highlight (I don't actually have to select the option, just highlight it) another option with the volume button. My functioning m7 doesn't do this at all. does this mean anything to anyone?

Mine took about 5 -10 min I think to send the largest portion of the zip, but it sent it in 4-5 differnet chunks. Guessing it lost connection to the phone.

Could be the adb drivers, these worked for me on Windows 10.

The TWRP failed, then I ended up making things worse when I tried to reflash it, so I can get to "Do you want to erase all data", which when I select yes, continues the bootloop. I can't enter download mode at all, so that means I can't get fastboot, or at least I think so anyway.

I can't do the first link because my computer can't detect my phone, but that may be to do with the cable being funny from earlier.
