HTC One - stuck in bootloader/fastboot and no recovery - Verizon HTC One (M7)

As you can see in the picture the phone boots up to this screen. A friend of mine bought an HTC One on ebay and he found out it was rooted/unlocked so he went to put it back to stock and may have bricked the device while doing so.
EDIT: so I am able to use fastboot, but not adb because I can't get into Windows. Flashing the stock Verizon RUU I found still doesn't get me anywhere though.
Is there any hope for this device? Thanks in advance!

You have to select bootloader to get to the recovery option. What kind of computer are you using and whats it running?

Yea I saw that after messing around with it some more. It is Windows 7 x64.
I tried the one at the bottom of the page as I can't find one anywhere else. I also used the commands at the bottom to try and flash it.

When you go to device manager on your pc with the phone pluged in and in fastboot mode, does it show android phone or unknown device? Try using these drivers http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/ADB/ADB_Drivers.zip
You need a signed ruu which you can get here http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/2....2_NV_VZW_3.71_002_release_341019_signed_2.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip file.zip
May fail with flush error do above command again.
fastboot reboot

OK cool I will try that once it downloads. It shows "My HTC" in the device manager. Also with the fastboot devices command it does give me the device ID.
EDIT: That worked! Thanks a lot for the RUU file, as I could not find that anywhere.

Hello. A friend of mine has the same problem. She tried to flash this RUU: "RUU Zip M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_1.10.605.10_decrypted" but the phone doesn't boot. Here is more info about the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688936
Can she flash the RUU posted here?
This is what the hboot says:
Unlocked
m7_wlv pvt ship s-off rh
cid-11111111
hboot 1.54.0000
radio 1.12.42.0906

Thank you very much.

She can, but since she is s-off, its better to flash the decrypted one. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/2.10.605.1/PN07IMG_M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_2.10.605.1_DECRYPT.zip

First, thank you very much. She changed the CID to VZW__001. That's not a problem, right?
Does the CID and MID have to be compatible with the RUU? She has this MID: PN0731000.
Downloading this RUU, will report back.
Again, thank you.

Yes the cid and mid need to match the ruu. What you have now are the correct ones. However 11111111 is super cid, which would have also worked.

Hello again. Before we try to flash the RUU, I would like to ask you the steps to do it. This is what we gonna do:
1. Download RUU
2. Rename to "ruu.zip" (Optional)
3. Enter fastboot mode
4. enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - You should not see a silver HTC logo on your device.
5. enter "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" - The first time you execute this command, it only prepares the flash
6. As soon as the flash is done preparing, enter the same exact command again "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
7. Now you'll see a little green progress bar on your phone. This does not need to reach 100%. As soon as your command window is finished, you can just "fastboot reboot".
8. You should be set back to fully stock HTC One.
And that's it? Nothing else is needed, right?
EDIT: we flashed the RUU. Now the phone boots always in fastboot. No matter what option we choose, the phone does nothing and goes back to fastboot. On the bottom of hboot there is a new line in red: "Active cmdline overflow! (1073 Bytes)"

Ok try changing the cid back to 11111111 super cid, then run the ruu again and see what happens. Before doing both, use the cmd
fastboot erase cache

Hello. We just did it, and still the same problem. We were reading that some people solved this by doing a downgrade to hboot 1.44. But I don't want to make this problem worse.

You can try it, its worth a shot. Just flash an older ruu. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RUUs/. Dont remember which one goes with 1.44

You can't be more kind. We made a downgrade, and now we can use CWM again. (We did the downgrade before reading your post, so we didn't use an older RUU) Now thinking hwat should be the next step: flashing a ROM (custom or stock, mounting a pendrive) or flashing an older RUU or anything else. Again, dude, you're awesome.

I'm stuck in a similar situation and any help would be appreciated so I don't screw this up. I can get into the bootloader but not into recovery (gets to the first TWRP screen then reboots). Safe mode works fine too.

Every time I try to RUU it gives the "Signature verify fail" message.
So, I tried encrypted ROMs (those at vzw1files. dyndns. org), and I could go a step forward; but the flashing hungs up after giving this messages:
(bootloader) adopting the signature contained in this image...

(bootloader) Read zipped android_info fail
Thanks in advance, I hope I didn't screw it up.

The problem is nicouy that you are s-on, and on the newest kk firmware. An s-on phone will not allow you to "downgrade" firmware, and we do not yet have the latest ruu available, at least to my knowledge. So your kind of screwed right now untill we get our hands on a kk ruu.

Help HTC Desire HD Vodafone (stuck): flashing custom rom after unlocking bootloader

Hi,
I need your kind advice in fixing my issue. I have DHD Vodafone 3.13.161.3 GB 2.3.5.
I unlocked the phone using HTC official method, phone got restored to factory default and I tried to flash a custom rom without knowing that I need to change the CID.
The phone starts but get stuck on HTC logo, I have EXT4 recovery installed already.
Tried wiping and factory reset but it seems that its of no use. I can boot to hboot, it says unlocked (highlighted) and s-on.
I did try to make a goldcard, put the sdcard in another phone and used the goldcard helper app then went to the site and submitted the CID and downloaded the image and followed the steps.
(got mmc0 and mmc1, I took mmc1 by manually writting it)
I copied another official rom PD98IMG.ZIP downloaded from the net for WWE and ARA versions copied them to SDcard and got into hboot but after loading it says wrong image and goes back to hboot.
I deseparate to get it fixed, would you plz provide some guidance on how to fix it since I was not able to get Vodafone RUU or any other mechanism to fix!
Appreciate your assistance and efforts..

If you unlocked from HTCdev you have to flash kernel in fast boot rename boot.IMG to pd98img.zip and accept update. Then remove or rename to pd98img.zip.bak so it doesn't keep updating. It's because of s-on you should be able to downgrade hboot and s-off.

Thanks for your response Sammael,
Just some background info about my case:
I have DHD from Vodafone UK which was on the latest rom from Vodafone 2.3.5, I did bootloader unlock using HTCDev then flashed Ext4 recovery.
I tried flashing a custom rooted rom based on WWE version using the recovery mode (install zip from sdcard) after which I got the phone stuck on HTC logo screen everytime I try to power it on.
I tried using WWE RUUs with fastboot usb but got err155, I downloaded Vodafone PD98IMG.zip from that was uploaded by a guy in another forum but copying it to the sdcard and loading it using hboot gave me wrong image/rom message. I tried running WWE RUU then copying the PD98IMG.zip to the temp folder and renaming it to rom.zip after deleting the original rom.zip but again I got err155.
I need at least to get back on Vodafone stock rom and fix the problem, I am not sure if I need to relock the bootloader and if I must flash back the stock recovery.
Can anyone help with this as I have been trying different options for the last 4 days and all the tools that were mentioned need to have a functional phone to do usb debugging and charge only mode!

First will cover the obvious you should have unlocked via HTC dev. The hack kit is the way to go about things
Now for the fix.
Download a custom rom on PC, have androidsdk setup
Boot into recovery and reinstall your custom from.(remember to full wipe).
Once complete plug phone into PC and run adb reboot bootloader.
Once in boot loader select fast boot if its not already selected.(should read fast boot USB)
Now in the custom rom you download open it and take out the boot.img and put it wherever you have adb/fast boot folders
Then type the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot reboot
You will have to do this every time you flash a new rom, since you HTC dev unlocked. I would search into relocking boot loader and using the hack kit

I think I may need the latest PD98IMG.zip to reflash the phone back to Vodafone stock software, plz correct me if I am wrong?
The PD98IMG.zip which was provided a vodafone uk phone owner seems to check the version of my phone's current state hboot/radio.
Is there any place where I can get the latest PD98IMG.zip even if I have to pay for it?

I haven't been able to find the newest ruu for your branded device. Best I can say is keep looking. But if you can't find it your going to have to flash a from how I suggested to get a working phone.
Or maybe wait and see if anyone has other ideas to try

I have relocked my bootloader, tried flashing the PD98IMG.zip but I got main version is older message.

Do you have any suggestion or insights about what else I should do?

Did you try getting S-OFF via the Advanced Ace Hack Kit? I got a Vodafone DHD on release in Aus and was prompted to make a gold card, eventually managed S-OFF without one.
You get the main version older because your son. And you get the failed remote because your relocked the bootloader. Personally at this point I would unlock the boat loader again, flash cwr then a from and then its boot.img to get a working phone. Then if the pd98img/ruu that you need comes available go back and root properly. But for now I would say to at least get it in a useable state

Depends on what rom you want to install.
So let's say you want to flash cm. Download the rom on your pc. Place a copy of it on your SD card as well. Boot into cwr and flash as usual. Once complete boot into the boot loader.(using adb reboot boatlader is convenient, but you could do it manually by pulley battery and powering up with volume down+power button)
Then take out the boot.img of cm zip and flash as you tried earlier(fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Then reboot phone

Hi.
I have the same problem as described here. But my desire HD is the spanish vodafone version.
I found the original RUU here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7S5vzd6Qvh9SDR4cmRwTGZWaXc/edit?usp=sharing
- I will start renaming the file to PD98IMG.zip in the SD card
- Start in bootloader mode
- Push vol+ to start the flashing
Humano, did it work?

I've tried to flash recovery from 2 different SD-cards, but hboot doesn't recognize my sd's at all. I have thought, that it should check the card and scan it at the beginning, but that won't happen. Filesystem is FAT32. I've also tried to unlock the bootloader, but it gets stuck to error message 'Command error' (fastboot oem get_identifier_token). When I try to flash recovery, it says 'Signature verify fail' (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
RUU is RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed

There's always a danger of buying a phone of this nature without knowing its history. Usually when they don't do any flashing and this happens its hardware problem. I bought one with the same problem as yours and i tried every known method sad to say i was resign to having bought a brick but lucky for me i bought another cheap with cracked screen so i took out the main board and switch it over use the best parts of both phones and i got myself a nice working DHD with a spare chrome housing. So maybe yr best bet is to lookout for a cracked screen one and do the same. Put an ad on web for yr area..you never know .....good luck cheers

Yeah, I also think that the phone is bricked, I've tried anything, and because it doesn't recognize SD-card in the hboot, I think it's a hardware problem...
Oh, and another thing: Phone LED stays red always when usb plugged, even when I remove USB cable... It turns off when I pull the battery off. I've never seen any other colour, even after all night loading...
Now I'm beginning to search one with cracked screen also. Luckily I didn't pay much for that brick.
Have you tried putting phone in fastboot and running the current ruu. Older ruu won't run on newer hboot.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
You need http://www.mobfirmware.com/dl/behtash/imei dhd/rom.zip
Move it to where your adb files are.
Then do the following from adb:
adb reboot oem-78 >> this will put you in RUU download mode. I found you can run this command from CWM Recovery. Though... if you don't have any recovery I'm unsure how to hit RUU download mode. There is an .exe from HTC Dev that'll do it from Fastboot, so there must be a command (fastboot reboot oem-78 maybe??)
Once you're at the black screen w/ silver HTC logo, type:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip >> This will change your hboot to one w/ an oem signature. Once it's successful, type:
fastboot reboot
Now, you'll need to go to htcdev.com/bootloader and follow the instructions to get your KEY (fastboot oem get_identifier_token) and paste it to HTCDev to get your boot unlock bin file emailed to you. Follow the last steps to unlock your bootloader.
The steps are something like: boot to fastboot> type oem command> copy / paste key to htcdev> receive email> download .bin file to adb folder> run command to unlock w/ .bin file (it's on the htcdev site).
NOW you can flash the custom recovery or boot imgs without getting the "Signature Verified Fail" Error.
Goodluck! I just went through this whole process so you can get your phone up and going w/ a custom rom from where you're stuck! Don't give up!

Thank you! I'll try that. I've tried to unlock bootloader, though, but when I type fastboot oem get_identifier_token, it won't do anything, just says 'command error' ...
luncht1me said:
Then do the following from adb:
adb reboot oem-78 >> this will put you in RUU download mode. I found you can run this command from CWM Recovery. Though... if you don't have any recovery I'm unsure how to hit RUU download mode. There is an .exe from HTC Dev that'll do it from Fastboot, so there must be a command (fastboot reboot oem-78 maybe??)
Once you're at the black screen w/ silver HTC logo, type:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip >> This will change your hboot to one w/ an oem signature. Once it's successful, type:
fastboot reboot
Now, you'll need to go to htcdev.com/bootloader and follow the instructions to get your KEY (fastboot oem get_identifier_token) and paste it to HTCDev to get your boot unlock bin file emailed to you. Follow the last steps to unlock your bootloader.
The steps are something like: boot to fastboot> type oem command> copy / paste key to htcdev> receive email> download .bin file to adb folder> run command to unlock w/ .bin file (it's on the htcdev site).
NOW you can flash the custom recovery or boot imgs without getting the "Signature Verified Fail" Error.

OMG, I got the bootloader unlocked, but then what? I tried to flash ROM from RUU, but it stopped to error message "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" ... ? Sorry for my stupid questions, but this is all new for me. I'm fast to learn, though

OK. Can I flash any custom ROM then? What version should hboot be? It's now 2.00.0029, what if I put custom recovery and custom rom in? Do I need to downgrade hboot, or do I need S-OFF, or ENG S-OFF?

Thanks, only problem is that I can't use adb, since it doesn't recognize my phone at all, nor flash anything from SD, it's not recognized either.
I can only use fastboot commands
fastboot flash zip cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip --> Failed (Remote: 32 header error)
fastboot flash zip pd98img.zip --> Failed (Remote: 24 parsing android-info fail) OR 41 model id check fail

Stuck on bootloader.

Hi !
I have a problem with my HTC DHD device. I unlocked it and rooted it a long time ago, using goldcard, installed Rom Manager, flashed the recovery, install CM...and all of a sudden, my phone shutted down, and couldn't stop rebooting, got the green HTC logo, and he reboot.
I had this problem a few month ago, i tried several things, that put my phone back in S-ON.
I actually got this :
Code:

I can't access to recovery, and i can't boot on anything else than the HBOOT or FASTBOOT mode.
I tried to unlock from htc dev, but it says that i need to upgrade my HBOOT before using htcdev tool.
As i was back in S-ON mode, i tried severals RUU Roms.
As the getvar all says i'm actually running 2.50.405.2, so i tried to install a clean RUU using
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.50.405.2_Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_release_199042_signed
( Got a french HTC DESIRE HD )
I'd like to flash a new recovery to make everything ok again. But i'm stuck, there is no ruu working, and i can't unlock bootloader, nor reinstall a recovery
everytime i try to flash something into any directory, i got this signature failed error.
Code:
c:\Fastboot>fastboot flash /sdcard PD98IMG.zip
sending '/sdcard' (261908 KB)... OKAY [ 43.281s]

I tried different RUU versions, all above the actual one or at least the same version.
The thing is that i can't actually put it back on its original configuration. CID is normal though, i can't find the original recovery, i'd like to flash it, i think it's the only thing that remains modified on the phone.
I had the exact same problem as you have when i bought the phone. AAHK was working back then and even with aahk the phone could not be fixed and the with the help of the devs on irc chat i managed to fix it
They told me that my phone was previously rooted and s-off but a strange RUU was flashed so they told me to flash cwm through fasboot and flash a custom rom.
Wich i did and it worked.
P.S. you might wanna try another sd card, this one might be fried ( faulty mem blocks)

Thanks for your answer, your previous problem exactly matches with mine. I'll try what you've said, the thing is that i'm actually not rooted, and S-ON, i can't use htcdev/unlockbootloader, because de version of my bootloader is too old ( i haven't used the phone for a while ) -
In fact :
- To solve my problem, like u said i have to flash CWM and a custom rom
- To flash a recovery, i need to unlock bootloader
- To unlock bootloader, i need to upgrade my bootloader
- To flash a ruu and upgrade my bootloader i need to have an original recovery
- Got a recovery problem i need another one, so let's flash CWM ( repeat everything )

1) conect phone to pc, run instalation ruu
2) during instalation process find in win/temp folder file named rom.zip
3) copy this file into folder with adb and fastboot files
4) cancel instalation
5) in phone run bootloader than fastboot
6) run command prompt in folder with adb, fastboot and rom files, than type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
7) wait a few minute until phone goes in ruu install mode
8) than from command prompt type "fastboot flash zip room.zip", if you get error repeat once again without exiting ruu install mode (some times is needed to do it twice)
9) when install finish type "fastboot reboot" and now phone should be repaired
You can do factory reset before and after.

Don't ever s on again
The command is "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Use this ruu... http://click.xda-developers.com/api...TC One | XDA Forum&txt=1.10.605.10 Signed RUU
Try It
First you need to do is s-off it and then flash the ruu that is given in #2 i used the same and i had no problems at all . I am form India as well
Unlock your bootloader later on but soff it first.

Here is how to fix it
Download this RUU file which matches your hboot
http://bit.ly/vzwone10
then put the file in your fastboot / adb directory, and rename it to Rom.zip
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip Rom.zip (rename file to Rom.zip)
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
Then when it finishes, type "fastboot reboot"
Enjoy.
PS - NEVER s-on your phone. You do not to be s-on for ANYTHING. But being s-on will stop you from doing pretty much everything. The only reason to EVER revert to S-on is to send your phone in for a warranty replacement.
As soon as you finish those steps, go ahead and use rumrunner for your hboot version to get s-off again. Once you are s-off, you can take all your ota updates to get the newest firmware / stock rom, then flash a custom recovery through fastboot, and flash superuser or a custom rom from your recovery. You NEED s-off though. If you were s-off now this would be a simple fix, just flash firmware / recovery and a rom, but since you are s-on you are going to have to go to the matching stock RUU for your bootloader, and start from scratch. Hope i helped.

Black screen with red triangle is the stock recovery. So that is expected. Hold vol up, and press and release power button, to show the stock recovery menu options.

That message is expected when trying to flash custom recovery with a locked bootloader. TWRP is only going to flash if the bootloader is unlocked.
Since you are s-off, you can also try the following method to unlock the bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
However, I agree with the previous reply, given the random bugs and behavior, it is best to RUU to a full stock factory image. RUU will wipe the phone, but it sounds like you are trying to wipe user data, anyway. You have the Sprint version M8, and the correct RUUs are here (do not try RUU for any other M8 version! permanent damage is possible):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
You can try any of the RUUs there. But note that if you try the Marshmallow RUU, you will have to flash corresponding Marshmallow firmware.zip before the RUU will install properly (this is clearly indicated in red caps text on the linked thread).
I also agree with the previous response. The behavior is really suspicious (changes don't "stick", bootloader does not unlocked) and NAND failure is a real possibility, especially if the problems persist after RUU.

I'm on 4.4.2 which one should i use (the non-HK i guess since my modelid is 0P6B70000) , i really want the easiest and most detailed way to flash the RUU
and sry for asking this (Do i just unzip the RUU and install or some codes are involved) cuz i downloaded RUU_M8_WHL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.25.651.14_Radio_1.09.20.0209_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_426232_signed_2.exe
and installed it but nothing happened
also i wanna mention that this phone came from china and i read abt this Region\carrier codes so maybe while someone trying to fix it change it to Sprint[US] (dk if that is possible) (i'm just guessing i dk if we could use this information)
and Huge thanks to you

Both HK and non-HK versions have the same model number 0P6B70000. The only different is in software/firmware.
Your OS number in getvar (3.30.651.2) leads me to believe it was originally non-HK (the "651" signifies this). But it's possible that the previous seller changed it from HK to non-HK (although I'd say that is unlikely).
Really since you are SuperCID, either RUUs will work (HK or non-HK). You can try 3.30.651.2, or the one you downloaded 4.25.651.14 is fine as well.

The .exe format RUU is probably the simplest method. PC is required.
Do not unzip or do anything special to the RUU. Connect the phone to PC, with phone in bootloader mode. You should be able to just double click the exe file, and it should launch the application, which just walks you through the installation.
Are you saying you double clicked the exe file, and nothing happened? Or that it fully installed, but the phone is in the same state?

No, that isn't possible. The Sprint version M8 is different from all other versions. Trying to flash Sprint version firmware/RUU to any other M8 version results in a radio brick (no SIM, no cell service).
We see on this forum a lot of folks with the Sprint version M8 which have been made s-off and SuperCID (by seller/vendor) to unlock them for use in other countries, and to appear "unbranded" (when they are in fact, far from it).
your Help is much appriciated

It did nothing bcuz phone was on bootloader menu but when i tried RUU while phone was booted , wizard moved on to the next step ,
wizard tried to flash RUU but it's stuck on waiting for bootloader , and instead of the phone boot into bootloader it just reboot into the same restore point as if nothing happened.
-https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B&id=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B%21340&parId=root&o=OneUp
- it kinda does that in every process before last step (rebooot) , I tried
1-Flash Firmware via Hboot (requires micro sd card)....
-rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip
-copy 0P6BIMG.zip to ext_sd card
-boot into bootloader
-make sure hboot is highlighted, press power button
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
*reboot after pressing up
2- Flash Firmware via fastboot, no ext sd card needed....
-rename firmware to firmware.zip
-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder
-boot into bootloader
-plug in usb
-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)
-type fastboot oem rebootRUU
-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
-when it's done, type fastboot reboot
* Reboot regularly after fastboot oem rebootRUU
3- ARUwizard to flash 3.30.651.2 stuck at same point (waiting for bootloader) then phone reboot regularly
Is there any other way to flash
