AFAIK ViperOne hasnt been made for the Verizon HTC One. can you point to where you downloaded the rom please?
but normally when this happens its a boot.img problem meaning the kernel is not working properly if you flash another rom that is offered in OUR dev section you should be able to boot no problem. as for media stuff, that should be in the internal storage

That ROM is made for Sprint and so was the OTA. Should be able to boot to recovery and reflasha rROM made for this phone.

There is a general HTC One forum you may get better results in as you said this one is Verizon specific.. FWIW here is a link to the general HTC One forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one
but, to answer your question,
turn off the phone completely, (make sure fastboot is off in settings.apk)
then, hold volume down + power to get into bootloader mode, then from there you can fastboot flash an RUU for YOUR phone, make sure the RUU isn't made for another phone or it could brick, also make sure not to flash, radio, hboot, recovery, basically anything not made for your phone (aka files found in this Verizon forum)
Here is a good video of how to flash an RUU on the HTC One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpA71FXddyU and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g5gEf2wgS4 are both good
(I prefer to use fastbootRUU, which is done by runnnig these commands in fastboot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you don't have an RUU to run. that should still be just fine and probably easier, actually yea try this first, boot into bootloader, then either fastboot flash a custom recovery (if you don't already have one) and flash yourself a ROM made for your HTC One.
so is your phone from Verizon, it is just full unlocked from Europe? am I reading that correctly? If so, what does this mean? you are using a Verizon HTC One on a Europe carrier? Sorry, just a little confused on that part, hopefully this comes to some use to you.
Best of luck,
Andy

Thank you andybones .
I dont have RUU .
You said : "if you don't have an RUU to run. that should still be just fine and probably easier, actually yea try this first, boot into bootloader, then either fastboot flash a custom recovery (if you don't already have one) and flash yourself a ROM made for your HTC One "
How can I put another ROM on my phone ?because it`s not recognized by my computer ?
If I "wipe data / factory reset " from ClockWorkMOD Recovery, I will be able to restore the previous backup made with ClockWorkMOD Recovery?
And yes, my phone it`s from Europe but it`s unlock from factory .
Thank you very much .

You really need to be asking these questions in the forum section for the HTC One you bought, people here are familiar with the Verizon HTC One which is different from your HTC One. If you can find out which HTC One you have, I would be willing to bet that you can find the RUU's and other tools, such as something to remove the red text on your flash screen and get your phone booting again.

Like others have said, you need to get to the correct forum section for your device, regardless of what carrier you are using. This section is for the Verizon HTC One model only.
To answer your question about flashing recovery:
1. download the correct recovery for the device that you have, not Verizon
2. enter the bootloader
3. plug phone into computer
4. enter the command: fastboot devices
- if you dont see anything listed, you need to get fastboot working, and I won't get into that...
- if you do see your device listed, proceed
5. copy your recovery.img file to your fastboot working directory
6. enter the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery_file_name.img (with the correct file name of the recovery you downloaded for your specific device)
6. wait for your terminal/command prompt to say its done, should be just a few seconds
7. enter the command: fastboot reboot-bootloader
- make sure everything looks fine
8. use volume buttons to select the "recovery" option, and press power to select, which should reboot into recovery

With a little help from The Google I came across this - http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/ - Hopefully one of those will be the right one for you. Before you flashing or doing anything you should answer a few questions - Are you S-off or S-on? What model HTC One do you have? You should able to figure out a lot of this information from your Bootloader page, at the very least you should be able to tell the hboot, OS, CID and Radio versions, from that information you hopefully will be able to figure out which RUU you should be using.

The thing is that here i dont find my RUU , the radio version it`s not the same with my phone radio version .

This would be the RUU you want, as far as I can tell.
This would be the appropriate Recovery for that RUU version.

@Wozzie - i did what you sugessted,everythink went ok but now when i try to enter revovery i have that screen with a htc form and a red triangle in the middle ( found the right recovery image to flash it ) .
I will try what @santod040 said .

From what you are describing you installed the stock recovery, if you want to be able to access the recovery and install rom, backup/restore and more you need a CWM or TWRP Custom recovery. For these you need to make sure you get the right one for your model/version HTC One.

Power and volume up should get you a stock recovery menu...
If you are back to stock now and want to load a custom rom, then yes, you will need to reflash a custom recovery now.

you should not do an ota with custom firmware

What sense version do you want in result: 4+ or 5?
Did you update your phone via OTA earlier?
Post bootloader error here, please. Looks like your bootloader is updated and do not match requirements to flash RUU from Hutchison.
1.- i dont know what is better, if 4+ or 5.
2.- in fact the phone was updated by other person, i don't know what he did :/
3.- let me flash ruu again and post bootloader error.
if it's usefull, it has Team Win Recovery Project v2.4.1.0 installed.
thanks for reply

Well, looks like firmware\hboot was updated and latest RUU for your CID requires older firmware\hboot.
So, you can't use old RUU to go back to stock.
You need to flash stock ROM for 1.39 hboot from recovery
Try to find ROM like this one, but older: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970&highlight=*stock*
I guess you need to search 3.18 or 3.20 version, don't remember wwich one will work with 1.39
ok, i'll search it.
thank you sir, i'll let you know the results.
one more question, can i use this method posted here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048
exactly this:
Nand for H3G__106 - thanks to Jackster88
Part 1
Part 2
Quote:
Instructions:
***For this nand to work you need HBOOT 1.39 and cwm***
1) go into fastboot and enter "fastboot oem lock" - the device will reboot
2) go into fastboot again and enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - there will be a black screen with a silverish HTC logo
3) enter "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (you need the firmware.zip from page 1 for this)
3a) enter the same again, the green bar under the logo should go to 100% (either after the first or second time)
4) enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to go back to your fastboot
5) unlock your device again with the unlock code ("fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin")
6) Restore your old boot.img (fastboot flash boot name_of_boot_file.img) and recovery (fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img), make sure you copied them from the nandroid backup folder we created earlier into the folder that contains the fastboot.exe you're using.
7) Reboot and you should now have Hboot 1.39 with your old boot and recovery.
(8) If it won't work we still have the backup ready to restore the old system, Hboot isn't changeable right now on S-ON devices outside of the RUU routine - so even if you restore your nandroid you should still have Hboot 1.39 now)
Confirmed working with H3G__001, H3G__003, H3g__G04

Hi, need some help

Ive been reading this section of the forum for 2 nights now. read various threads and none the wiser.
Ive unlocked my htc one x using the windroid htc one app which worked fine, but installing a rom was not as easy. now < i admit, i dived in and installed a ROM without seeing what else it needs to work ( am used to flashing nexus roms) and now its stuck at the HTC screen. Now i've tried various ways to rectify the proplem. uisng various roms, flashing boot.img before flashing the rom, no go. tried older roms, no go.
I know the hboot needs updating, but without a cid id then i cant find a matching firmware.zip.
Ive tried to do a RUU boot by locking the bootloader but get this:

thanks for your help that got the phone back to booting properly
I flashed it and it worked. I got myself back to the latest update. Now i tried various roms again as i'm one for experimenting but some of the newest ones dont seem to want to work.
ones i've tried>
Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_33.1
HTC_One_X_-_MaximusHD_21.0.0
OneX The Next Chapter! v1.2
but none of them worked for me.
So i went lower with
cm-10.1.3-endeavoru which worked
then updated to
cm-10.2.0-endeavoru and flashed the boot.img for it to work.
Now for the other roms, what am i missing? is it the firmware.zip? hboot level?
Am bowing down to Thant, and hoping he can tell a mere minion what he's doing wrong
I don't think you updated far enough ! Post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Edit :
I see thant is offline, so i chip in......

cyanogenmod stable rom not recognising sim, and not being recognised by htc sync
Hi i just unlocked and rooted my phone. one of the first things i did after having rooted it was go into rom-manager and download the highest rated cyanogen mod stable rom...expecting it to reboot itself and do the update automatically once id downloaded the file i was suprised when nothing happened...so i put it into recovery mode myself and searched the phone's storage for the rom file...it was infact two files, one the rom, the other gapps...i installed both of them and rebooted the phone...at first i was left on cyanogenmod bootloop...after a few restarts, and factory resets, i eventually got past the cyanogen mod intro wheel, to its actual introduction *asking me to choose a language*, as soon i choose my language i get notification asking me to insert my simcard (it already is, OF COURSE...), as i go through the rest of the setup there is no network coverage or internet..so i cant simply download rom-manager and try another flash..it also wont come up as a recognised device on my macbook...ive downloaded another flash of cyanogenmod on my laptop along with a new gapps, but im utterly lost about what to do now...i cant even put them on the phone....

Hi i just unlocked and rooted my phone. one of the first things i did after having rooted it was go into rom-manager and download the highest rated cyanogen mod stable rom...expecting it to reboot itself and do the update automatically once id downloaded the file i was suprised when nothing happened...so i put it into recovery mode myself and searched the phone's storage for the rom file...it was infact two files, one the rom, the other gapps...i installed both of them and rebooted the phone...at first i was left on cyanogenmod bootloop...after a few restarts, and factory resets, i eventually got past the cyanogen mod intro wheel, to its actual introduction *asking me to choose a language*, as soon i choose my language i get notification asking me to insert my simcard (it already is, OF COURSE...), as i go through the rest of the setup there is no network coverage or internet..so i cant simply download rom-manager and try another flash..it also wont come up as a recognised device on my macbook...ive downloaded another flash of cyanogenmod on my laptop along with a new gapps, but im utterly lost about what to do now...i cant even put them on the phone....
wud love any help

the reason i'm so frustrated is aside from the supposedly stable build of cyanogen mod i downloaded in rommanager not working, the rom doesnt recognise my sim, i dont have access to the internet, so i cant simply download a new rom to flash straight from rom manager...as well as this the wifi doesn't seem to work on this flash...and to make matters worse it's not being recognised by the drivers...i'm using htc sync manager..when i plug in the phone it will open htc sync manager but wont show that a phone is paired to my macbook
...when u say manually can i do this directly from my phone or do i need to connect it to a computer?
You must connect it to PC..And then go to fastboot and flash boot.img file..Then you will have signal,wifi etc..

its not being recognised as a device since i flashed the *cyanogen mod stable rom*...i plugged it to my computer though, and put it into fastboot and it says FASTBOOT USB...the options it gives me from here are
HBOOT
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER

Here is guide how to use ADB on macbook:

yep fastboot oem lock
Then it might be easier to flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot to 1.39. Then you can flash any rom you want, and there is also a ruu for that. Sorry i have no time to explain now (heading home from work)
Look for the firmware placeholder thread, read the instructions and download the 3.14.401 firmware.zip from there.

i already had the ota 3.14.401 and got the firmware.zip from there.
its installed fine and i now can put most roms onto it.
:victory: thank you Mr Hofs
So i get this right in my head. The phones firmware.zip needed updated so it would update hboot and other things.
Now to flash roms is the procedure to flash the boot.img contained inside first then install the rom <----which is they way ive being doing it

[Q] Get back to stock M8 VODAP110 - Having massive problems

Good morning guys.
I am wondering if anyone is able to help me before i go completely nuts trying to work this out. (I also hope its ok to make a new thread)
A few weeks ago i rooted my M8 following the steps on this website (htconeroot. - how-to-root-htc-one-m8/) with no issues at all. Unlocked the boot loader and also there is the software tag saying modified (my understanding is this is normal). Installed the custom recovery with no drama.
A couple of days ago i got the OTA notification that i can now download 5.0.1 (Happy days) however this is where i seem to be running into problems. I know that i need to revert to the stock recovery from TWRP and then from here need to relock the boot loader to install the OTA update. I think my main problem is that i don't know what version of the stock rom i need to install. I have tried a few but none of them will boot into recovery from the boot loader.
So this is where i am.
Boot loader works fine and will run fast boot and boot to custom recovery - does state that the OS - (Blank)

The last stock recovery that i put on the phone was (3.29.161.5 recovery.img) this then would allow me to start the phone and run the OTA update. From here the phone will restart and start the update but after about 20/25% the phone will crash displaying a picture of the phone with a red triangle and upside down exclamation mark. I read somewhere that if this problem happens to erase the cache and it should fix the problem but it didn't.
Could anyone please point me in the correct direction or help me solve the problem i am having.
Do i need to ?????
1) install the correct stock recovery (if so could someone please help me find the correct version)
2) Flash the stock rom from HTCDev (no clue how to do this with fast boot and if it will restore the recovery)
3) Give up on OTA and look for a custom 5.0.1 flash and use TWRP to flash from recovery.
Thanks so much for any help.

Maybe this one works? This is the 3.29.161.9 recovery. It's from my VODAPE17 cid
1: download the ota, take out the firmware.zip and in that zip is a recovery.img. that is your correct stock recovery that you need.
2: go to the general section - collection of backups and firmwares. Have a read there and look for your cid in the list with backups.
Please do not relock the bootloader that is not needed for an ota !
And delete your serial !
I was forgotten to paste the url: https://mega.co.nz/#!nZkCWZAL!djqZnzAlVfHslzWJxUxvW5cLKHdI9BIhr_uxzjFxbng
I also have this Problem with my M8 (3.29.166.9). I also flashed the new recovery from the OTA, but when i flashed the OTA, the recovery wrote Status 7 error ...
New download of the OTA doesn't worked..
Any Idea ?

Hi onkel.
the process i went through was as follows.
1) force download the OTA from swisscom and copy off to computer.
2) do what Mr Hofs said above and extract the ROM and dig out the recovery.img
3) reset with fast boot - (fastboot reboot-bootloader)
4) flash recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) fastboot reboot
7) install OTA from within booted OS
8) wait.......
Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem guys.
@Mr Hofs if you would like the OTA update or recovery.mg please let me know.

Back to stock problem
Hello,i have a similar problem. I did everthing as you,rooted,custom recovery and unlock bootloader on htcdev,all to try out custom roms like arhd and so on. But i didn't do a nandroid backup,because i'm a fool and didn't know what i was doing. When i wanted to go back to stock i tried flashing 3.29.161.9 as it's similar to our stock rom but had no luck,still no updates. When i go to fastboot my os says os-3.29.166.9,so clearly there lies i problem. i need i stock 3.29.166.9 nandroid backup so i can go to stock. i've downloaded the recovery you uploaded and put it in 3.29.161.9 rom but no luck. So can you please upload a 3.29.166.9 nandrod backup. Thanks in advance. And mister Petert87 and Mr Hofs if you have any idea how to solve my problem please tell can you tell me. Cheers guys

Are you running a rooted stock ROM when your phone now not working ? If yes, can you install TWRP recovery and make backup of the system part only. Then upload it for me, I'll try to fix it. I've done this many times with other rare ROM like WIND, Taiwan version, Optus, Telstra and many more.
If possible, just PM me the link.. this is the only way that I can help you and @dexterts

Yes ... change CID and flash EU WWE RUU if you want it on .401
If only firmware, you can restore a EU WWE backup and do OTA .. but for now only lollipop the latest and there's already lollipop RUU, you can check EddyOS thread for RUU method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235

Hi im trying to update to lollipop on my 3 UK branded m8 but im having serious issues upgrading to 4.4.4 eye experience version 3.32.771.3 was wondering if anyone has or could get a nandroid of the stock 4.20.771.2 ROM. I can see an OTA in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 but I have no idea how to use those OTA files. Any help would be appreciated.
Post your fastboot getvar all result (minus serial no. & imei no.)
then we know which backup that you really need.
No point to give you 4.20.771.2 backup for now.

cool thanks. I tried your nandroid backup and it starts up fine but I cant connect to my wifi network. It sees the network but it wont connect. It does allow me to connect to another open network I can see but not my own. This happened on one of the stock updates I did too. Any ideas why this might be? or how it might be fixed?

There are two options :
1. Restore 3.32.771.10 backup and its stock recovery image then do OTA to 4.20.771.2
You can have all the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55322461&postcount=1897
Or
2. Reflashed the untouched 4.20.771.2 firmware that linked here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58781201&postcount=4598
but you need to relock bootloader in order to do that.
a. put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode
b. relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
c. run these commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 4.20.771.2_firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip 4.20.771.2_firmware.zip .....( again for the 2nd time)
fastboot reboot
d. check your wifi
For me .. 1st option is a better choice

so I tried option 2 first and that didnt work Then I tried option 1. Flashing 3.32.... worked ok wifi working etc. I then did the OTA that popped up. That flashed and it boots up but system ui force closes and wifi doesnt turn on at all Is there anyway to flash your OTA update specifically and avoid downloading and flashing the one that pops up on screen?

You can't flash OTA manually because your device is S-On.
When you have system ui force close and wifi doesn't turn on at all ... that's a good sign.
What you need to do now is unlock bootloader again with unlock_code.bin that you received from HTC. Then install TWRP 2.8.5.0. Boot to TWRP recovery, select mount - advance - format data - yes
Reboot - check your wifi again - system ui should work and wifi should work too.
Then restore my 4.20.771.2 backup (reason is when re-unlock bootloader and format data .. all data files such as calculator & flashlight & etc are removed)
EDIT : before you do the above, please try boot to recovery where you see the red triangle .. press & hold volume up & press power once.
In stock recovery, select factory reset/wipe data ... reboot

before I saw your message I did a factory rest from stock recovery as you suggested in your edit and system ui force close was fixed and wifi does turn on... but im back to the problem of not being able to connect to my wifi network. I've managed to connect to 2 separate open (public) networks fine but cant connect to mine for some reason. I cant understand why this might be happening.
Thanks for all the help by the way really appreciate it!
That's something I'm not familiar with as I never have that problem before. I read a few thread of this kind of wifi problem .. there are a few suggestions such as reset the router, try change wifi password and a few more like 2.4GHz & 5.0 GHz problem
Maybe someone else more familiar with this kind of problem will step in.

I had a look around and came across this http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/g...llipop-solve-wi-fi-problems-on-nexus-devices/ where it suggests changing wifi router channel. I did and it works
Cant thank you enough dude. i've tried to thank all your posts to reflect how many thanks you deserve! At one point when one of the software updates went bad and the screen wouldnt turn on I was told HTC would charge around £200 to fix it! so yeah, thanks
Great :good::good:
Will keep that in mind in case someone else has same problem

Lost RUU backup
Hi I to am trying to revert back to stock on my HTC one M8 (Three UK H3g__00)1 but I have lost my original backups do to an hdd fail the RUU files you posted on here I believe I could have used but the links no longer work
My phone is in a bad way at the moment it is softbricked with the latest version of CWRM on and no OS currently installed, is this why my version main appears blank?
My phone has ended up in this state after trying to install the latest android revolution rom (5.0.1). The rom seemed to install ok booted and setup fine but my Wifi wouldn't turn ON at all. After I rebooted the phone for the first time it got stuck in a boot loop.
I deally would like to get lollipop on the phone and doing some reading I believe with the situation I'm in I have to go back to stock and do the OTA updates to raise my hboot version to 3.18 or above, that way I could install cyanogen 12.1
Apologies for noob question still learning.
My bootloader (3.16) is tampered, unlocked and S-ON

Hi ckpv5, thanks I will give this a try now, I did try to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 recently but when I tried to enter the recovery it just hung and I never figured out why. I will give 2.8.1.0 a go now.
Last night, just to get my phone working I flashed on cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m8 with open_gapps-arm-4.4-mini-20151203. It all seemed to be working fine and I liked the look and feel of the KitKat cyanogenmod but after I received my first phone call my phone speaker went crazy and gave some nasty distortion out, I rebooted the phone to stop it and now I have the noise on everything if I turn my volume up to mid/high, I'm worried my speakers are damaged. I followed a couple of threads to install the viperapp but with no success, any ideas on this one?
Cheers,
Thanks
CHeers ckpv5 Ifollowed the guide used the files and its all sorted now.
Looks like CM11 has damaged my bottom speaker though i have ordered a replacement.
I do have 1 last question, after all the updating i have now put cm12.1 on and it seems to be running ok however when im booted into the OS my SD card is not being detected. If i drop back into TWRP recovery it does recognise the SD card, any ideas? im searching for a solution now.
I can't comment anything on CM as I never use one .. no experience on CM .. sorry.

Try fastboot erase cache after install TWRP ...
Can you post your fastboot getvar all without serial & imei no. ?
Usually this error is related to partition problem .. maybe flashing the firmware, then TWRP follow by fastboot erase cache command can fix this.

First - a stupid question (because it happened before) - you do flash a correct version TWRP meant for HTC M8, right ? The one that you downloaded from https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
If the answer is yes for the above, try flashing firmware.
Get the firmware fw_6.16.708.1.zip and read how-to in my thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5
Then unlock the bootloader with the unlock_code.bin .. when successfully unlocked, the system will reboot but it will fail .. press both power + volume up button .. when the screen goes black, release both buttons but press and hold volume down button. This will get you to hboot, press power once to get to bootloader/fastboot ... flash TWRP then try to restore backup.

Bro, thanks a lot for you help, I really really appreciate it. I fixed my problem with flashing the nandroid 4.16.708.1 with TWRP 2.8.7.0 but I have the same error that it makes me to flash my cellphone, I dont have signal and the cellphone doesnt show to me the imei, do you think if I put the imei in fastboot can it works? (Sorry for my english) and one more time thank you for all your support .

So .. that's your actual problem. If it is not hardware problem, you can fix this by flashing firmware as I mentioned above. A few people succeed to fix the same problem by flashing firmware.

Perfect, Im going to do all your instructions and then reply, thank you for all
Im sorry, where is the unlock_code.bin? and how can I flash/install that?
Edit: Actually I know that xD sorry.
Man, you are amazing, thanks for your support , I did all your instructions and it works, my cellphone now has signal and all its correct, only one thing, the backup 6.16.708.1_ckpv5 maybe its wrong, I couldn't flash it, but it doesn't matter, I installed nandroid 4.xxx, thank you one more time , greetings!
Maybe the 6.x download is bad..
You can install stock recovery then check OTA to update from current 4.x
