HI. I have a big problem... I tried flashing an OTA file with CWM recovery, and now I get to the HTC white screen with no Quitely brillant below
My hboot is unlocked and I am s-on
I could probable y access fastboot, though I cannot tell right now I cannot use it on the computer I have, but if I access fastboot I have the regular options, and the buttons works. if I choose recovey , I see a android CWM and a small bue progress bar and it reboots back to "Normal" wich is being the white HTC screen right now
I am able to access Hboot which makes me think that I can probably get out of this by flashing back my original RUU.
Pleasae tell me that i am right:
I thought of trying a factory reste to start with , but I am not sure this will work because of the recovery I installed.
My hboot is unlocked.
is it bad Doctor?:crying:
try flashing the stock recovery, then flash the ruu again.
it seems to be leading to something like this ... I'll try
And it worked!!!
I was able to relock the hboot prior to running videotron Ruu executable file. This worked like a charm... I have learned my lesson. I'll wait for my turn to be pushed. Thank you all.

Good to hear it worked
Would'it worked if I would've left the boot loader unlocked??

no, the bootloader needs to be locked to flash any ruu file
Dude flash stock recovery relock boot loader then flash the RUU most recent one. And if your gonna unlock boot again and flash another custom recovery us 4ext its the best one in my opinion a lot of options very simple nice user interface no troubles as of yet. Plus it basically like having S-Off cause of smart flash it flashes kernels together with rom. Its 3.00$ on market or you can get it for free from internet or other apps. If anything feel free to pm me

Hope this is the correct place to ask, but quick question. So (short form) I relocked bootloader, reflashed the RUU, unlocked boot loader, installed ROM and it works great UNTILL I insert my SIM card, then it just keeps restarting. Why does this happen? What do I need to do, start all over and reflash everything? Please help!
Did you flash ruu twice.....it doesn't flash everything the first time through
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
This is gonna sound retarded, but I think so. The first time it installed the RUU, it was a blue status bar on the right, the 2nd time it was a brown status bar. But, I had already installed the ROM prior to seeing the brown bar...Does that make any since? I used to be decent at this, but it's been a while...
relock and reflash the ruu twice... then flash recovery and then flash a rom
Worst case flash the ruu again...watch it do each step successfully...that's what I would do. When I did the first flash using scoslers instructions I needed to do a battery pull since it was stuck at white htc screen...

One more post for my ten
I unlocked my bootloader using htc dev and was following this to s-off:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471246
before the PG86IMG.zip update started, i got a message that the cid is invalid
now the device is stuck on the htc splash screen, please help me asap!!
what should i do!?
should i choose the factory reset option??
Probably your best bet. Generally, if you can get to boot loader and recovery, you aren't too bad off.
i haven't installed any recovery, i can get to the bootloader though
should i install any recovery now using fastboot?
Someone please help, i havent installed any recovery and i am stuck on htc splash screen, bootloader is relocked, please help!
You should read the downgrade thread again... You MUST change th cid before flashing the pg86img... I had the same problem when I done it...
Or you can get the 2.17 stock ruu and run it to get back to stock and start over...

Instead of the european PG86IMG.zip given on the downgradin thread, Should i try the stock PG86IMG.zip for my evo 3d ?
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
Try the stock 2.17 ruu.exe... Not PG86IMG, then start over... The stock signed PG86IMG.zip might work, but I had to use ruu... Once you get your phone back to 2.17 stock, unlock, change cid, relock, and go from there...

Downloading the stock zip now...So that means, even in future if i have to revert back to stock from custom rom or whenever i am stuck at htc splash screen i just use the stock PG86IMG.zip and go to the bootloader and update? Right? Or is the goldcard required for s-on and s-off both?

first sentence is correct.
OK so I used the bootloader to flash the 3 option in Haus's thread and every thing is working. But....
Now on the bootloader screen it says locked tampered then S-off.
I was told the locked was just wat it was saying and didn't matter.
So do I have a locked boot loader? And does that even matter for anything or was it just required to get root plus S-off?
Did I mess up getting the newest hboot from the firmware? I was told I needed it to run meanbean.

I'm not sure what u flashed but it sounds like you flashed the whole thing which means you have stock recovery now. Either fastboot flash recovery image or download thru goo manager.
Once you have a custom recovery installed your all set. Don't worry about the locked on your bootloader

You should have flashed the first file the one with no kernel,hboot, or stock recovery that would have updated everything you needed to be updated
So did I mess anything up? I was able to flash mean bean without any issues.

No you just did the same as taking the OTA as far as I can tell. As long as everything is working you should be fine
Hey guys I had to send my HTC One back to ATT. So I stupidly tried to get it back to stock, so I first flashed an Odex-ed Stock Rooted Rom, then flashed stock recovery in fastboot, then locked the bootloader and am now trying to run the RUU. And it doesnt seem to be working..what do I do? I just keep booting into the bootloader straight. Im so lost.
So your bootloader is locked, you start the ruu and what happens?
I had a similar issue. For some resason all of my laptops had issues with drivers. If you go in device manager in windows, check to see if you see exclamation mark on my HTC.
I tried different drivers, sync app from HTC and even fresh virtual box environments on MacBook to no avail. It always shows that yellow exclamation when in bootloader.
Anyways, didn't mean to hijack your thread but just trying to see what's in your device manager. Try hansoon HTC one app?

it either says "Phone not found" or the RUU wont even open .. will say issues with drivers
Damn, I hope you get it figured out. I wish I could help. I know I better keep my htc one stock for the time being. This could of happened to me.

So a few weeks ago I soft bricked my htc one and i had a nice guy here on xda help me un brick it and it seemed like I was back to stock with no root. But when I keep trying the AT&T LTE update that I got recently I always get an error at the same spot when installing. I'm thinking I'm rooted because the kernel says "root" right in it ... Although root check says I'm not. I also get an error when rebooting after attempting the update. Help??!!!!
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
You cannot update if you have a custom recovery installed like twrp or cwm.
You need to restore the stock recovery. Also how did you restore back to stock RUU or something else?
Lastly before soft brick were you soff and if so did you super Cid or change anything else?

I'm trying to get in contact with the person who helped me... But i was using TWRP and i believe he had me go back to stock RUU. It was a simple process to fix. He had me download a file which took a while and then I just clicked a few buttons and it got me back to stock. I thought I would be able to do updates because I wasn't rooted but i guess I still have a custom recovery.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
OTA and custom recovery never works. You're better off flashing the rooted version of the new update, and the radio.

If you shutdown the phone, then hold power button down and volume button down at the same time it will boot up to the bootloader screen. What does the information on that screen show. Looking for CID number and S-Off or S-ON, Hboot version,etc. Also then with the volume rocker move to recovery and click the power button, does it load TWRP, CWM or the stock recovery?
If everything is stock you should be able to get the OTA updates.

Ok so im hoping this helps getting me on the right track to flashing roms correctly.... I soft bricked and i flashed a stock RUU like this guy does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WWNZpaQBh8&feature=youtube_gdata_player...so i dont have TWRP and i want to know my options if i can get OTA updates or i should just stick to flashing roms....
But when i go into bootloader it reads as follows..
*Relocked*
M7_UL PVT Ship S-On RH
H boot- 1.44.0000
Radio- 4a.14.3250.13
Open DSP- V 26.120.274.0202
eMMC- boot
May, 3, 2013
and then the normal stuff.
fastboot, recovery, factory reset, sim lock, image crc, showbarcode..
When i tried getting into recovery and loading up TWRP i got the same screen with a red triangle and a red exclamation point as when i try the software update. i used to have twrp but thats before an XDA member helped me out...
What is your Cid on the boot loader screen? Should be CWS__001 (could only be changed if you were ever s-off) other than that sounds like you are stock. You could download helium backup and backup all your apps. Then download the new att ruu and upgrade that way. Restore with helium when done.

I am not seeing g the CID on bootloader screen at all... And the last thing I did was use an RUU to get me back to unbricked... So I just have to download another one? And how do i restore with helium if i dont have twrp or CWM? I've never used helium... Sorry for my noob knowledge haha
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Helium you can get from the Google play store. Can be used on a stock phone.
Were you ever s-off? Did you change your cid.? It is odd that you do not see a Cid. From fastboot can you run fastboot getvar all and see if you see your Cid?

I have a pretty good idea how to use helium.... But I'm not sure if I was ever s-off or if I changed my cid... I was once rooted then bricked and then ran an RUU to get me to where I am... And i don't know what a getvar is...
