Just got a 4.3 htc one from ebay, hoping to root/s-off it. Things were fine on wifi, but as soon as I put the sim card in "Device Management" started installing a ~600MB firmware update. I can't find any way to kill the "Device Management" process. Am I screwed?
Are you s-off and rooted? If so, delete it from system/app

No. But I think I've successfully stopped the download (sim card out, wifi off/on a few times).
Next question, does it matter if I use firewater without the sim card in?
It shouldn't.

One of the active developers here, Santoad, has written a mod that will disable OTA updates.
Here is the thread:

Alright, so I was trying to use the RUU_Marvel_Virgin_Mobile_1.37.351.1_Radio_47.10.35.3029H_7.46.35.08_release_188032_signed.exe RUU that is in the sticky in the development section.
Now I have three vibrates. I have read that there is a way using the .zip file, but I cannot find one. Does anyone have such a file or know an alternate way to fix it?
Maybe this thread will help you understand what I mean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128733.
The fix is 3 or 4 posts down in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21119377

Using the method that is in that thread, I only receive three vibrations still. I reformatted my SD card and placed the .zip file on there.
That might be the gsm virgin mobile (so confusing)

Why would the gsm version be in the marvelUSc thread? I mean, you could be right, i just don't see why Simon would do that.

Thank you! I have no clue why my file isn't working. I've downloaded it several times and I reformatted two MicroSD cards (a 32GB and a 2GB).
All it does is vibrate three times and then that's all. I tried to follow the directions anyway (wait 5 minutes, Vol Up x1, wait another 10 Vol Up x1) but it didn't work...
Thank you for looking! I hope you find something.

Yes, I am certain. I got it from http://www.filefactory.com/f/7b4aa0a541dcf00f/.
That was a GSM ruu. Ill talk to my partner of providing a entire zip. Could be that when I broke the signature it prevented hboot flashing it. Or could just be the radio screwing away everything. If the new zip doesn't work when I post it I'd say you need to call VM and get a replacement

Would it be covered under warranty? Would they be able to tell that I previously was unlocked and had CM7 and CWM?
Thank you, though!
Nah they wouldn't know after what you did. Your partitions, blank. Just be sure to say that you accepted the update that you've been ignoring since November, and that happened. Nothing more. If they try to help, let them
Sent from my HTC_A510c using Tapatalk
I was just thinking and I had an idea...
What if someone ran the HTC Dev RUU for VMU Marvelc and took the rom.zip, renamed it to PG76IMG.zip and then I were to flash it? Would that work?
Obviously I couldn't do it so I would need a little help, but would it work?
Um it would restore hboot. Can you see if you can comect to your phone with a com port.? If not you need whole thing, as the radio is wrong even
You can see if it will vibe 5 tines though

Oh, I thought that the Radio and HBOOT were in the same zip image now. I cannot connect it to my computer (which is why I'm using a MicroSD->SD adapter.)
The download is too small for that. You can try though
Sent from my HTC_A510c using Tapatalk
Alright, so I contacted RadioShack (that's who I have my warranty with) and I setup a claim. I had flashed CM7 and CWM will they be able to see that those are on there?
Also, will they know that I had previously unlocked (I doubt it; the RUU failed at "Waiting for bootloader")
According to everyone I've talked to from RadioShack, just installing the FOTA and then having it not turn on is covered so that is the claim I am using.
MOD please delete. Thanks

I'm confused what you're asking. So when you leave twrp it says you may have lost root? Or when you load the ROM you don't have root?

If You have root I don't see the problem. You'll sometimes get a disable recovery flash message too. Just ignore them both and enjoy your new ROM.

ok so i have a blue one sitting here that a friend wants me to s-off. I am trying to get into fastboot, but the "volume down-power button" isn't working.
any ideas why? thanks!
You don't need to manually put it into fastboot. Also, try going to settings, battery, and uncheck fast boot.

Thanks Man, I got it working. It randomly started working
So here's my dilemma. I have not noticed till yesterday but have no firmware listed on the bootloader screen of my device. I am not having any issues but I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me why its vanishing? I have reflashed it a couple times and when I reboot into bootloader its gone. Thanks in advance for any helpful insight.
Picture?

Use another camera? Basically we can't really help unless we see what's going on.

Are you following the guide and performing the second flush/flash after the first one says it failed?
The process requires a second flash right after the first one, to complete the process.
Just making sure you are doing it as laid out in the guide.
Can't think of any other reason that would happen really.

What Rom are you on currently?
I'll try and replicate that if I can or see if I can figure out why that shows like that.
I wouldn't worry too much about it though...

I been using the current ACiP Official Nightlys. Before I ran aosb unnofficial nightly. But I didn't notice anything till after I first tried flashing your 6.0Sense Rom . Flyhalf205 twrp 2.7.0.1 wouldn't let me flash. So I am using your twrp now and playing between current acip and your Sense ROM. Oh and Liquidsmooth I flashed. All these in about the last month.
I just ran firewater on a new phone and this happened to me.
Edit: just flashed a custom splash screen and now it's back to normal.

So I believe the top couple lines may explain why my bootloader is showing no OS. How do I fix ??
Alright Dev's, you guys are my final hope. I have an HTC One that won't boot into its Rom at all, the only thing it boots into is the bootloader. When I look at the info of the bootloader, it says Tampered, Locked (Not Relocked), and Security Warning. I'm trying to flash the RUU, but the phone never gets the Rom flashed to it. I'll always get a Fail, from the RUU. Can someone please help me?

S on or s off?
Edit...just read your other thread. There's not an encrypted/signed ruu for that is later/newer than what you have. The only way to fix that is wait for one or go the java card route.

The reason i believed this happened is because before setting my bootloader back to "Locked", and putting back "s-on", i was running santods 3.11.605.1 odexed full rom.

It is hard bricked if you don't have access to a java card, or don't want to send it in to HTC. Average repair is $90.
