[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesdf5:
Hi guys,

A few days ago my phone started crashing after bout 10 seconds of getting to the android home screen. It literally didn't stop so i thought it might be smart to do a factory restore. That wiped everything but the boot/crashes still occurred. Now i'm stuck and don't know what to do. All the videos i've watched don't seem to match up with my issue and the fixes don't work. I've uploaded a video to show you what is happening.

I would be extremely grateful for any help or advice

With thanks

James

The flashing lights are normal when it comes to doing a hard reboot. You can unlock your bootloader as long as it isn't a Verizon model over on HTC's Dev website, it will tell you everything you need and the instructions. That will allow you to flash a custom recovery, such as TWRP. To flash that recovery after unlocking your bootloader, make sure you are in Fastboot and in the fastboot prompt on your PC/Mac type fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img. From there, you can look around at the custom roms on this forum and see if anything suits you. If you prefer stock android then there are Lollipop and a few Marshmallow builds, if you prefer Sense 6/7 there's some builds for that as well. I'm going to be leaving and busy here for about 2-3 hours but when I get back if you need more assistance feel free to let me know on here.

It looks like a recovery issue. Can you get it to bootloader menu? Hold power + vol down till it enters bootloader

Hi,

Thanks for the reply

The first thing i tried was unlocking the bootloader but my PC couldnt see the phone. I'll have to try again later and let you know

When you're in bootloader and you connect your phone to your PC, does it say fastboot usb on the phone?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
His bootloader his already unlocked see video @ 3:00, and that unlocked bootloader most likely caused the ota update to fail an so the bootloop (see video @ 0:49) (unlocking the bootloader = wipes /data/preload = ota will fail).

Yep see video @ 3:00. So its the 1.44 + Win 8/10 incompatibility issue.

Its already unlocked as you can see from your bootloader screen ***UNLOCKED***

I guess you are using a Windows 8 or 10 PC? This is the reason why your PC doesn't detect your phone. It still running the old 1.44 Hboot version which isn't compatible with Win 8/10 for fastboot commands. Btw USB debugging on/off doesn't matters for using fastboot commands in bootloader or for using adb commands when in a custom recovery, its only needed to use adb commands from a booted rom. The simplest solution would be to get your hands on a Win 7 PC, install adb/fastboot and the drivers, and post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (don't post your imei / sn). Your phone is running a pretty old version, I'm sure we'll be able to find a RUU or a Guru reset rom to restore your phone back to stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesdf5:
Thanks for your reply. Really helpful. I am using windows 10 but thankfully I have a windows 7 laptop that is stuck in an update loop :D. So i'm now using the laptop and have unlocked the bootloader. (I didnt have an unlocked bootloader, the image on the video i uploaded was just a screenshot of an example).

So now i'm at the unlocked bootloader stage. I now need to know what order to do things next. The phone is still bootlooping.

Using the laptop the bootloop screen now shows USB

Thanks again

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Sorry I thought the video was from you. So as I can see your phone isn't on hboot 1.44 so it should have worked fine with windows 10....

Flash twrp recovery

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then boot your phone in twrp main menu so you can use adb commands. You'll need to change your version-main number from 7.19.61.51 to 7.19.61.10 so you can flash the 7.19.61.10 RUU which is the latest one for this phone:

adb shell
echo -ne "7.19.61.10\x00\x00" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 seek=160
exit
adb reboot bootloader

**** Better to copy/paste the command starting with "echo -ne". A typo in this command could be really dangerous for your phone so make sure you do not make any mistake.

Once back in bootloader mode, do a "fastboot getvar all" again and confirm your version-main is now 7.19.61.10, If yes, relock your bootloader using "fastboot oem lock" and flash the 7.19.61.10 RUU. Dont forget you need to use the fastboot version linked in that thread to flash the RUU, it won't work with the standard fastboot version. Then when the ruu is flashed, your phone should boot normally, go through the initial setup screen and then download and install all the ota updates so you're back to 7.19.61.51.

PS definitely not recognised on my Windows 10. Won't see it at all.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Strange, keep using your w7 pc for now. Maybe a driver problem, or maybe you are using an usb 3.0 port instead of a 2.0?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesdf5:
Ok i got it working on my Windows 10.

I've just managed to flash the recovery image, cleared cache and rest. Thank you for the amazingly easy instructions.

However it won't go into the recovery it just keeps boot looping to the HTC logo.

When i select recovery i see the HTC logo and words that say entering recovery but then it restarts and continues boot looping.

Interestingly my bootloader now says **Tampered**. I'm guessing that is normal.

I appreciate all your time and effort trying to help me.

Regards

James
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes tampered is normal after flashing custom software. Try the old twrp 2.6.3.3, it sometime doing miracles. Mdmower's versions of TWRP are also known to boot when some other official twrp versions can't.

https://dl.twrp.me/m7/

http://android.cmphys.com/twrp-m7/

Btw did you erased the cache and rebooted the bootloader before attempting to boot in recovery ("fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot reboot-bootloader"? Its the main cause of non-booting recovery, just to be sure.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesdf5:
Oh dear. I have to confess i accidentally restarted the phone after i flashed it without erasing cache. :crying::crying: I then went back and flashed again and erased as you said in the instructions.

I have have tried the older version on twrp. No luck. I'm guessing i ballsed it up first time! :eek: Sorry
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesdf5:
Hi Alray.

Thanks for all your help so far. May i be kind to ask is there a fix for failing to delete cache when installing recovery?

I've since flashed a stock recovery and then re flashe dthe twrp recovery. None of them are working. Phone keeps rebooting. Could the issue be hardware or battery issue as it was just a sudden issue?

With thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Erasing the cache after flashing a recovery is a standard procedure to avoid problems when booting in recovery. That being said, its not always needed but we recommend to always do it to prevent possible problem (i sometime flash recovery without erasing cache and most of the time its working). If you forgot to erase the cache and did it later and it still not working then don't be sorry, it is not because you forgot to erase the cache right after flashing.

It might be an hardware problem be before coming to this conclusion, you should try a few more things:

I would try CWM recoveries instead of TWRP and see if there's any differences.

Maybe a problem with your misc partition, the booltoader command blocks might be corrupted. If this is the case, then flashing a modified recovery that ignores the BCB should work. Try the "no-bcb" version of twrp and cwm recovery:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358553816

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407590873

If one of these above recovery is booting correctly, it would confirm a problem with your misc partition, if this is the case we will have to fix your misc partition before going any further (flashing a RUU will not fix the misc partition)

another option is to wait for a 7.19.61.51 RUU that could be flashed straight forward without needing to boot in a recovery to edit your version number. Unfortunately, this RUU might never be available...

If you don't care spending a few $, you could send your phone to a service like fonefuneshop.co.uk so then can s-off it (they can s-off phones without having to boot it in a ROM). Its not that expensive if you are in Europe. Once you'll have your back and s-off, you should be able to flash the 7.19.61.10 RUU without having to boot in recovery. That being said, flashing the RUU might not fix your phone depending if its an hardware or software issue.

That's it, I don't have any other ideas....:(

Hi alray, following this thread as my phone (exactly the same make, model & spec as jamesdf5's phone) has done exactly the same thing. I have tried everything up to this point (echo -ne...). I am however, getting a " 'dd' in not recognised as an internal or external command, operable programme or batch file" message. Prior to this, I am getting and error of "no devices" when trying loading the adb shell.

Do you have any advice on how I can get round this?

So phone wont boot. All that happens is i either get sony xperia boot screen display for a few seconds or battery charging to display.

fastboot still works but flashmode does not.

I have downloaded a stock ftf, from xperi firm - within flashtool (C6603_10.7.A.0.222_1271-2150_R2E.ftf) and flashed the firmware via fastboot from flashtool. now i get the stock blue bootloader animation but then it just goes back to charging so not sure what to do now?

The phone has never been rooted as far as i am aware and not sure if there is anything else i can do? do i need to flash boot image or is just flashing ftf fine? its been a long time since ive had to go through this stuff...any help would be appreciated.

That is nice, just be aware: if you have any theft app running you can not activate the Flaring option or signal in wich case you can not get the location of your device for tracking porpuses.

Of course this is only if you are using any Flare option, if not, well... Enjoy 1+ hour... ?

Desde V10 (LG-H901)
[LG V10 General] faeArai:
What's a flaring option? Location is still available through gps and google location service even with service turned off.

From the reviews, seems like it'll work better after public WiFi partnerships. For now battery life is more important.
[LG V10 General] beavis5706:
Verizon VS990 here. No such setting. So apparently this is not for all V10's
[LG V10 General] OnceAMatrixMan:
It's there in Android 6, but on my it was already set off
[LG V10 General] xtremelora:
Well, the flaring option is not a feature of android is a Theft Concept and provide a way to know where your phone/tablet was located before it runs out of power or until somebody (the theft) turn it off (in worse case escenario) or lets say you request at any time your device's location...

Now, the flaring signal gives you the option to use the normal gps for location porpuses, but let's be honest, in first place the gps doesn't gives you an accurate location and in second place most people keep gps off unless you are using the map/navigation, here is when the problems come... sometimes you send the activation remotelly but doesn't work (specially in buildings, tunnels, some offices, etc...).

This is where Izat is the hero of the story, trough Izat activated, in case you lost your device, it doesn't matter where it is, it can be in a tunnel, office, building (places where normaly there is a poor or super bad conectivity)... Izat can go trough everything and give you an very accurate position/location...

But, before you guys start to blame me, remember what I said before, keep it on if you use anti theft apps with flaring option, in other case ENJOY 1+ hour.

So, I tried to root my M8 following this (htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-m)tutorial. Everything was going fine until the last restart. My phone is frozen and shows the startup screen with HTC and Android logos. The only thing I can to is to restart it woth power + volume up buttons but the problem is still there. I tried to find a solution, but it seems I cannot do much without at least partly working Android. I am even unable to do anything with HTC tool (htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html), since it does not find the phone connected to the computer.

Is there anything I can do to make the phone work again?
