Hi,
I awoke this morning to have my One reboot on me, only to have it hang at the green HTC logo.
I need help getting it functional again, asap.
I'm s-off and rooted.
What I can do:
Boot to bootloader and use fastboot commands - but
Code:
fastboot reboot oem rebootRUU
does not boot to the black HTC screen, but back to the green HTC logo, so I'm unable to flash a RUU.
What I can't do:
Use adb commands
Boot to recovery - freezes at teamwin screen. However, when the phone is stuck at the teamwin screen, I seem to be able to use adb - if I get here, I can reboot to the bootloader with adb.
Boot to system - hangs at the green HTC startup logo.
What I've tried:
Using fastboot to flash a new recovery to restore the backup I should have - still hangs at teamwin screen
Is there anything that can be done to fix this, or is my phone a lost cause?
can you get to hboot by holding vol- and power for a bout 30 sec?
Yes, that's how I'm able to get the fastboot stuff working.
After further investigation, it seems nothing I do persists on the phone. I attempted to flash the stock recovery to attempt another factory reset, but it still attempts to boot to TWRP.

i would RUU to get back to a working phone.
by any chance did you make a backup of you internal storage because ruu will format it.
EDIT:
are you s-off and unlocked?
Yes to both - but how can I flash a RUU? When I run the fastboot oem rebootRUU command it does not boot to the usual black/silver HTC screen, instead the normal green startup logo.
before you said you did command:
Code:
fastboot reboot oem rebootRUU
the actual command is:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
also make sure RUU is the only capital letters
when i fastboot, if you type:
Code:
fastboot devices
what is the output ??
Unfortunately, that has the same result - stuck at the green HTC boot logo.
EDIT:
After sitting at this screen for awhile, it booted into what looks like the stock rom, asking for a password to decrypt the storage. I don't recall ever setting a password for this, and even if I did, I stopped using the stock rom almost as soon as I got the phone.
Code:
fastboot devices
outputs the serial number and that it's in fastboot:
Code:
-serial number here- fastboot

make sure the pc can see fastboot on the device with command:
Code:
fastboot devices
if output looks like this:
C:\>fastboot devices
FA38PS904782 fastboot
you should be able to type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip nameofruu.zip
and it will start to process.

yay, this means fastboot is talking to the phone. thats odd that storage is encrypted. can you still use the phone to get to settings?

Unfortunately, no. I just get an option to decrypt the storage with a password or make an emergency call. I'm about to attempt to flash the ruu .zip without booting into rebootRUU, unless there is something else I can do.
did you use a kernel or recovery with F2FS?
Not to my knowledge, no. When trying to flash the ruu without rebootRUU I get the following:
Code:

Yes, flashing the ruu didn't work.
Have you tried flashing recovery again ?.
Try flashing philz recovery . Make sure it's m7wlv version
rename to recovery.img and add to platform tools folder
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
Try rebooting into recovery

I can't seem to find a version of Philz recovery for m7wlv. Am I correct in thinking I need the m7vzw version from https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/m7vzw/ here?
You are on older firmware, have you tried flashing newer firmware and see if ruu mode works after flashing firmware? You are s-off, so you can downgrade when you ruu.

This is worth a shot, I guess. Is there any particular version of the firmware or might any newer than 1.10.605.15 work?
EDIT:
After trying this, I get the same remote:not allowed error as above.
Additionally, after flashing philz recovery - which the console says is successfully flashed, when I reboot to recovery, it still hangs at the blue teamwin logo as before.

Revamped 2.0 Lunar 4.4.3
That was the one I tried, to no success. After flashing it and clearing the cache, when I boot to recovery it still sits at a blue teamwin screen.
Hi guys.
I rooted my 816 using CWM and SuperSU months ago. Now, there's an OTA update to Android 6.0 which will hopefully render the usefulness of root obsolete, as I mostly need it for link2sd (they also cite better RAM management as a new feature, which should get rid of the horrible lag on Lollipop).
I know I have to go back to full stock, and I read a simple guide somewhere, and I thought, why don't I give it a crack. So, it said I should just "fastboot oem lock" the phone and flash the correct .zip RUU. After much trouble with connectivity and driver issues between my computer (adb server is out of date. killing...; device offline; errors etc.) I FINALLY (after hours of troubleshooting) managed to go into fastboot via USB and lock the bootloader. Great. But, when I tried to flash the .zip, it just says waiting for device, indefinitely. Tried to go into recovery via the power buttons on the phone, but it shows an error and simply refuses to. As a sidenote, root still works, but the phone displays this in fastboot: Relocked, Security Warning.
Basically, I'm afraid to proceed because I think I'm on the wrong track, and could end up f'ing up my device altogether. I'm from Croatia so I downloaded the 5.0.1 EU version .zip from here: (can't post link, just search htcdev downloads, it's the first one).
I hate opening new threads because I'm sure someone has already had the problems I'm having, but I just can't keep searching the web for hours on end trying to find a solution. Forgive me for this guys, and please help a poor noob in need if you can.
Could you please post your device info? (Make sure to delete serialno. and imei!)
To get your device info, you'll need to make sure all drivers are up-to-date.(HTC Sync, Java and ADB)
After installing,
- Navigate to ADB folder and click on any free space while holding the shift Key
- Choose 'Open command window here'
- Once cmd is started use this command
Code:
fastboot devices
and check if your device is listed, then type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and copy/paste code here.

Oh great, you're from Germany, so you have an EU 816 too. It's an a5ul just like yours. I'll send the full info text as soon as i install SDK tools completely.
I noticed that in your guide you first flash the stock ROM, and only then lock the bootloader. In the guide I found it said to first lock the bootloader, and then flash the stock ROM. So right now, I have a locked bootloader and CWM recovery I can't get into. Is this going to be a problem?
No, you first flash the stock recovery, then relock bootloader. And if your flashed recovery works you flash the RUU.
running fastboot devices does literally nothing, just sends me to the next line.
running adb devices, on the other hand, lists my device.
great, so I messed up there. do you know how I can fix it?
Are you able to boot into fastboot USB? Have you tried the fastboot getvar all comand?
If yes, first you need to flash the stock recovery and check if the flash was a success. If you can get into recovery without any errors, relock bootloader and place the RUU file on sd-card. Boot to bootloader again and the flashing should start on its own.

The files from my guide should work with your device.
so it doesn't matter that my bootloader is now locked? I can just follow your guide and it should work?
Have you flashed stock recovery BEFORE locking bootloader? You have to install stock recovery or the RUU won't flash. It's all in the guide.
No, i didn't. I locked the bootloader and then tried to flash the stock RUU. That's the problem.
I wish I'd seen your guide before I did anything. I assume trying to flash anything now won't work, and that I'll have to unlock the bootloader again?

Did you type this before flashing the RUU?
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Nope. I tried to flash the RUU with fastboot flash ... .zip but it just said: waiting for device; and nothing happened. So I'll try the rebootRUU command when I get home from classes.
You need to flash the stock recovery, otherwise you won't be able to flash any official RUU.
Unlock bootloader, flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and flash RUU.
The command won't work, since you have a custom recovery. You need to get rid of that first.

I unlocked the bootloader, and did everything your guide said. Everything worked perfectly.
I just have a problem right now flashing the 0P9CIMG.zip. I can't flash it over the computer (it says the data length is too large or something similar), and I can't move it to sd-card on my phone. I tried moving other files and other .zip files, and that works. I tried redownloading from mega.nz, nothing. I'm thinking the .zip gets corrupted when downloading. Can you maybe re-upload it or send it to me through a different medium?

First type this. It will reboot phone into a black screen with a silver HTC logo:

then type:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
then type:

fastboot flash zip 0P9CIMG.zip
Sorry, I was looking for an sd-card adapter, I wasn't here.
Update: Moved the 09PCIMG.zip to the sd-card successfully this time and am flashing the img now from sd-card! Seems to be going well so far.
Success
Finally! Did it, works like a charm.
I'm still amazed by how fast the phone really is when it's stock.
Viele Dank, @nukaru, du wärst eine sehr grosse hilfe. Wenn du nach Kroatien kommst, melde mich an, du hast ein Bier und/oder Kaffe von mich (at least I tried, even without google translate)
Thank you too @Gibz97, really appreciate the effort.
If anyone reading this has the same questions I had, just follow nukaru's guide, it has all you need to know. If you have an A5_UL, it's gonna work.
Hi !
One of my friend ask me to try to save his One M9 phone, that seems to be bricked.
Here is the context :
- I absolutely don't know what he did, and it seems he don't either...
- The phone state is : Software status : Modifed, S-ON, and LOCKED
- I can't have another screen that Fastboot bootloader
The only options in the bootloader menu are :
REBOOT : it works
REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER : it works
BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE : does not work (Failed to boot to download mode)
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE : does not work (Failed to boot to recovery mode)
POWER DOWN : it works
I tried a lt of things, and read a lot of threads before posting this one.
What i can say for the moment is :
- RUU flash using exe : does not work, i get an error saying the battery is too low
- RUU flash using SD card (extract rom.zip, renamed 0PJAIMG.zip, and put on the root of SD card) : zip is not detected at boot
- Getting bootloader unlocked : does not work, because fatboot oem get_token_identifier command seems unknown (probably because oem commands only work in download mode for this phone)
- Getting S-OFF : seems impossible without OS, as it needs Sunshine app installed...
- Few fastboot commands are OK (devices, getvar all, ...) but most of it are refused because of S-ON
- No adb commands are working
Here is the output of fastboot getvar all :
Code:
D:\ANDROID\RUU\RUU>htc_fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) max-download-size: 0x20000000

all:

So, from your experts point of view, is this phone definitely bricked, or is there a way to save it ?
Thanks for your precious help guys !
Hey! I have the exact same problem. Anyone knows how to fix that?
I unrooted, stocked and relocked the bootloader. Everything went fine first, was using the phone about two days. But after a restart I'm stuck in bootloader and can't boot to download nor recovery mode.
Phone is only working with fastboot commands.
I also tried these steps OP tried and everything is the same.
I tried to flash hosd file and this works, but still not able to boot to download mode.
The HTC One is an unbranded EU model with 3.35.401.12 (<- but I think there's nothing on the phone right now)
i am also facing same problem with 2 htc one m9 which i have, i also have XTC2CLIP box which is professional tool for all htc devices, i can S-off with this box of all htc phone even no os needed, but phone should accept bootloader mode & ftm mode, & in this case where we can only goto fastboot mode, S-off command not working in state... i spend lot of time but no luck... but i still believe its only software bug & can be solve with fastboot commands. because i aslo read about same problem on htc X model. & they use fastboot command for this problem. but these commands not working on m9 case.
no solution for this? I have one m9 here exatly with the same situation, already did all your debuging with the same results
Hi there! I'm new here, created an account specially for replying to this thread:
So I'm having the same problem, phone (EU M9) died on it's own. Everything is stock.
Tried all of the above, also no results...

If it died on its own and in a stock state then you can safely assume it's dead. Most likely nand failure.
Ps, dont all m9 serials start with an "F"?.
Beamed in by telepathy.
thank you
My guess is it tried to do an OTA update overnight, don't know exactly where it went wrong.
By the way, I do get some ADB communication:
First reboot to bootloader (so it doesn't say "Security Warning"), then select 'boot to Recovery Mode' and wait for the red triangle.
If it doesn't reach that point, reboot to bootloader once more. If it does reach the red triangle: hold the Power button and press the Volume Up button once. You can then release the Power button and Recovery Mode should become visible. Note that I tried several options in this menu including "Install from ADB" and "Install from SD Card", but both gave errors.
Hope someone can use this information.
I have exactly this same issue. Sounds like NAND failure? Nothing to be done about it?

My HTC One M9 decided to freeze and crash suddenly. I woke up one morning, the phone's alarm didn't go off, and LineageOS did not respond to touch input.
Upon rebooting I'm stuck in a boot loop (HTC boot logo).
I've tried going into recovery and wipe cache, system, data, and every other partition and reflash. No avail, though I can still boot into TWRP recovery:
Code:
Failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
Failed to mount /data (no such device).
Failed to wipe dalvik.
Unable to mount storage.
I tried resetting to factory by using P98IMG.zip.
It says boot into download mode failed.
I suspect a corrupt internal memory (NAND fried).
Help? How can I get my phone working again?
Just out of curiosity, did you always update your twrp and supersu?.

The internal NAND chip was fried. The device is irreversibly broken, it needed a new motherboard and at that point you're better off buying a new phone. It's unfixable.

How do you figure that? Just based on cid and mid?
I'm in a similar situation, trying to troubleshoot a phone that has never been flashed or unlocked. It can now only get to bootloader, no recovery or download mode. Its cid and mid also return blank in fastboot. Does that mean it is fried?
Any help is appreciated

Try to access download mode or recovery from both button combo and via bootloader. The information returned from fastboot is garbage because you need to do the getvar command while the phone is in download mode, not bootloader.
Try holding all 3 buttons and variations of 2 button combos. Sim in, sim out, sd in, sd out. You need download mode regardless. No download mode means dead as because that is the only way to flash any firmware. The os version will be displayed in download mode at the very top, if you get that far.

Thanks a lot for the tips Okay, here's what happens:
If I hold Volume up and down while starting, I get to the bootloader where I can choose reboot, reboot to bootloader, download mode, recovery mode, and power down.
If I try to just boot (or hold volume up while), it show HTC on white background for ~20 seconds, before rebooting and looping
If I hold volume down while starting, or choose download mode from the bootloader, I get white HTC on black background for ~1 second, before rebooting and looping.
If I choose recovery mode from the bootloader, I get "Failed to boot to recovery mode", and something about the build being for development purposes only (the phone has never been flashed or anything).
It is a family member's phone, so I cannot currently test with SD or SIM, I'm doing everything with those empty. Though, when the problem first appeared, both were present. Should I try to test with those?
Sounds like it's fked. No download mode means no fix.
So I'm trying to restore a HTC 10 of a friend of mine which is in a boot loop.
I can enter bootloader mode (white background with four options), but I cannot enter download mode.
Bootlocker is locked and S-ON, i also think USB debugging is still disabled.
I want to try to follow these steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72992391&postcount=26
However, ADB does not even seem to detect the device in bootloader mode even though Windows recognizes it as being a HTC device.
I'm at the stage of just throwing the device away, as I think it is bricked. Anyone has any ideas left?

im in the same situation ,i'm currently looking at data recovery option from gillware since apparently they literally go the extra mile physically to extract data. but im hoping there is options for me to unbrick it before deciding on that option

Well at least the data on the device is not worth much to my friend. Let me know if you find were able to unbrick it

ADB won't detect it if USB debugging is turned off.
Can you boot to RUU mode? If so you could restore it perhaps that way. If you are booted to that you can run an RUU.exe
The command is:
fastboot oem rebootRUU

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure on how I can execute that command without ADB/USB debugging being enabled? Any advice there?

You don't have to have USB debugging on to use fastboot commands, only ADB commands. For many fastboot commands, you need an unlocked bootloader. For this one you don't. Or at least you didn't on the M8 before HTC introduced download mode. I'm pretty sure it will still work.

So I only had time to test this today. And you were right i was able to trigger this command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The phone then rebooted showed the grey HTC boot screen and soon after it started the boot loop sequence again. What am I suppose to do now? Is there anything I can flash in this RUU mode? Thanks again for your help.

You can flash an RUU in RUU mode. An RUU is HTC's "ROM Update Utility". It's a full system image. You would need to know his model type, like Sprint, AT&T, US Unlocked, etc Then you could download the appropriate RUU for it.
Does it boot to RUU mode with the red security warning at the bottom? If so, enter fastboot getvar all, and you can find the firmware version the phone is on now. It's listed under "version-main". Get the RUU with the same version number as that, and flash it in RUU mode.
If you can get the firmware version and you post it here, I can direct you to the proper RUU to download.

Unfortunately I do not see the red security warning, it just a grey HTC logo for a few seconds, then it reboots and then shows a white HTC logo + "powered by android" and then its stuck in the boot loop again.
The phone is an EU-model, this is the output you requested:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot.exe getvar all

The readout doesn't really say anything. With the HTC 10, and starting with the M9 I believe (I never owned one), you can only get a proper getvar from download mode or RUU mode. You can't get one from bootloader anymore like you used to be able to.
You said it was a EU model, so I would suspect it's WWE. The RUUs for that are available, but you can't flash it in bootloader, only download or RUU mode.
exactly the same problem here

OK that makes sense. But as you know I cannot get into RUU nor download mode. I guess it really is bricked then. Oh well thanks for your time and help.

It might not be. A friend reminded me of a method in a conversation about something else. I'm at work right now, but I'll reply again later on when I'm home
Here's how you may be able to fix it. If you flash all of the parts of the firmware.zip included in the RUU, you essentially are flashing the RUU (mostly, but not exactly).
You can flash the individual parts in bootloader.
Here is a link to the instructions
Here is a link to the firmware you will need.
And as I've already stated, I assume he has WWE firmware. This firmware is not carrier branded. You said he had the European model so I'm going with that.
You can already boot to bootloader, so obviously you can skip that part of the instructions.
Good luck! Hopefully you can bring it back to life.
no luck

D:\Android\platform-tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
Sending 'radio' (54629 KB) OKAY [ 1.341s]
Writing 'radio' FAILED (remote: 'cannot flash
this partition in s-on state')
fastboot: error: Command failed
it says that because it is in S-On state, any ideia ohow can i change the S state?

Tried to revive it today. Unfortunately getting the same error as our friend in the post above me:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash radio radio.img
< waiting for device >
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'radio' (54629 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.366s]
writing 'radio'...
FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)
finished. total time: 1.456s
So to summarize:
- Not able to boot into download/recovery/RUU mode
- Cannot flash images using fastboot due to S-ON
I guess that's it, RIP HTC 10.
