I've had this phone for about a good 4 months now, was getting bored so i decide to unlock the bootloader, root, and install a new rom. Then i heard youwer able to activate the HTC logo button to wake and sleep your device with using a different kernel. tbaldens kernel v3.6. I have TWRP recovery installed with trickdroid as my rom.After i ran threw all the procedures to flash in Aroma installer. My phone won't turn on, when i connect it to my computer it shows up as a MTP device. When I do get it to power on its stuck at the "quietly brilliant" screen. cant get into recovery to restore from back up. PLEASE HELP! SOLDIER DEPLOYED!!!!!!!! dont have the means of sending it in. Any suggestion. Mac is my primary means of rooting. windows 8 drivers are kinda funky:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
If you have access to a Windows 7 PC, then download the RUU for your device. Next, relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) Next step, if you have bootloader access to your device, then you can go into fastboot (make sure it says fastboot USB). Open a command prompt, and type in fastboot oem rebootRUU. You're in RUU mode, where you can run the RUU and reset everything back to stock.

So I was on my way to unlocking my boot loader and rooting the phone when i ran into this issue. (i am on AT&T)
The phone is stuck on a Red Exclamation Point and then it reboots to a white HTC screen every minute or two.
Where I was at in the process my bootloader was "unlocked", "tampered" displayed. I had even backed up with TWRP. The thing was I couldnt get the USB Debugging turned on. I turned it on before I started the process and was having trouble finishing with superuser and rooting the device. I had been trying forever to setup the S-OFF Feature to NO AVAIL.
Once I unlocked on HTCdev and then setup TWRP I just could never get the phone back to normal.
Once again this is the INT'L Version of the HTC ONE MAX and I just don't know where to turn next.
Please help. I am without phone and just purchased yesterday.
TIA - Mark
Well what you need is an ruu (rom utility updater) which is an updater program officially from htc. but I can't seem to find it for you, perhaps because it's not even made yet..
I'm affraid it's gonna have to go back to the store, are you able to acces to bootloader? if not, then don't worry about it being unlocked, they'll never notice. They're going to reset it for you or give you a replacement.

heres my question how do i know what RUU to search for? how do i figure out which version i need based on my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
Well you say you have the international version? but you got it from at&t so it's carrier branded right?
but first things first, you have to be able to access the bootloader to start the ruu. So can you access it?
when in fastboot: find out the CID by this command: fastboot getvar cid
If it answers with : None. Don't worry, try this command: fastboot oem readcid
Then it will tell you the CID. this code is needed when receiving updates from your carrier.
You will need to find the ruu for your CID, any other ruu won't work.
If you find an international ruu for your phone, you can use that one, but you have to have SuperCID.
You can get superCID after you s-off..
If you have SuperCID you can flash any ruu for your device, be careful though, I bricked my htc one s with a wrong ruu.
Goodluck!
the phone is not sold by ATT but is GSM
i cannot access boot loader.
I cant get past the RED EXCLAMATION (so am I bricked?)
this is the phone...
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-Max-F...92559809&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+max+unlocked
when in fastboot: find out the CID by this command: fastboot getvar cid
If it answers with : None. Don't worry, try this command: fastboot oem readcid
also i did find the TRWP backup if that matters or helps....
i tried both commands and it says fastboot is notrecognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file.
Well if you cannot access the bootloader, then you can't use fastboot commands..
Can you tell me what button pressing combinations you have used to enter bootloader?
Can you try to power the phone off completely and then just hold volume down?
The twrp backup can come in handy when your phone gets a working recovery, don't delete that
when i hold down the vol down...it just stays on RED EXCLAMATION....and when I try and enter bootloader mode with vol it just gives me the reset to the White HTC screen and back to the RED EXCL
i have not been able to power down completely

I'm pretty clueless here, If i were you i would keep trying to get in the bootloader. I have had a similar soft brick on my htc one and after half an hour of pressing every key combination it ended up in the bootloader. If that doesn't work I would let it get replaced on warranty
Okay so now I need some HELP.
I took out the SD Card and the SIM Card and the Bootloader screen comes up.
My choices are FASTBOOT, RECOVERY FACTORY RESET, SIM LOCK etc.
What do I do. I feel like I got one chance at this!
And here is my boot loader
my last question....how do i enable the USB Debugging. It shows as being OFF.
Can i do through boot loader or through the CMD Prompt..?

okey here's what you do, you don't have to have usb debugging enabled. that's only for adb purposes. You need to try and access the twrp recovery from the bootloader. If it doesn't work. try and look for the boot.img file of a twrp recovery for your device and flash that through fastboot
Hey guys I need help. My HTC One is stuck in bootloader mode. I was trying to upgrade to the latest T-Mobile update. I tried downgrading with an RUU and I tired to flash stock recovery. I'm not all too sure what exactly happened, but I have no OS or recovery mode. All I have is bootloader mode. When I try to reboot to OS there is a bootloop. When I try to go into recovery a picture of a phone shows up with a red triangle and exclamation point. When I enter Fastboot in the bootloader it shows up on the phone as Fastboot USB. Although it says Fastboot USB, the phone is not recognized on the computer. When I try to enter fastboot commands, the prompt says "waiting for device" no matter what command I type.
If I could get the computer to recognize the phone, I could flash a recovery and a ROM or run an RUU. But that is only if I could get it to recognize the phone and I can't. I have searched for days and I can't find anything that works.
I have no OS, no recovery mode, and the bootloader isn't recognized on the computer. Please help! any help/advice will be greatly appriciated!
Please and thank you! :good:

keep on rebooting until it's seen in the PC. Make sure the driver is installed (or forcible install it if it's an unknown device).
After that, once you're able to see it... re-flash the unlock token (fastboot flase unlocktoken unlock_code.bin). That will get you back into the ROM. At least, that's what did for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665481
But I can't reflash an older RUU at all, so I can't downgrade.

I figured it out. All I needed was windows 7 instead of 8 for some reason. After I installed 7 I just ran the 4.3 RUU. Now I have a different problem. Originally this all happened because I was going to upgrade to the new 4.4.2. Now I can't flash stock recovery. I have cwm but I need stock recovery to upgrade to 4.4.2. Since there is no 4.4.2 RUU I don't know what to do now.
OK I left my phone and when I went back and got it the touch screen wasn't working. I think the idiot there tried to put the operating system on his desktop because he was asking me if I had a disc with one on it. .......
When I restart while pushing vol down, the screen shows:
***UNLOCKED***

when I try to fastboot
the screen flashs this :

Then goes back to the HBOOT screen with the options

I have cleared storage, recovery, factory reset, reload bootloader, reboot,.......[I didn't document what I did or did't do , what order......I didn't keep record of what I did so all I can say LESSON LEARNED] when the phone boots up I have the lock screen but the touch screen doesnt work, just the power, vol +, vol-
I tried using a RUU my pc recognizes the evo , checks the version which is 3. 17. 651. 4 asks if I want to update to 4. 13. 651. 4 goes to screen that says rebooting to bootloader right after that the usb connection is lost and the screen says waiting on bootloader..... the phone screen is black with silver HTC logo in middle, the computer pops up with message that the last USB device you connected to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize. The RUU shows error 171 no USB connection and exit button. The USB connection is gone, the black screen HTC logo stays until I restart the phone then I have lock screen no touch screen workings and usb connection working and message at top of screen usb file sharing . I did download minimal fastboot adb and when I tried to use it, I could get the phone to show fastboot usb, but it didnt have the usb connection active. It says usb file sharing, is USB debugging On? ADB does't find device.........I am unlocked S-on and can't discern what I did to do and in what order. I am getting that I need to get S-OFF, I tried RUMRUNNER but adb doesnt reconize device so.......If I try to fastboot with out the sd card in it, it doesn't seem to run bootloader, from HBOOT I choose fastboot, goes to screen, I choose bootloader and it just goes back to HBOOT screen. Please advise.
To run a RUU on your phone you will need to relock your bootloader. You need to install HTC Sync on your PC, which will install needed drivers to your computer. You can run a RUU from the bootloader while connected via Fastboot USB mode. For more info on RUU's and how to run one hit the top link in my sig and read the RUU section. That guide also includes a link to an article on how to set up ADB on your PC.

I read the RUU section, well I read all of it, so I understand that I have to relock bootloader to run a RUU so I installed HTC Sync and sdk. When I connect data cable, my pc opens file viewer and I can look at files on phone. When restart to HBOOT, I lose connection to pc with a message saying usb device has malfunctioned. When I fastboot and go down to reboot or reboot bootloader, I get fastboot usb, but when I try to use adb or fastboot they are waiting on device and never does find it.. I downloaded the usb driver didn't help. HTC Sync says to unlock screen and/or accept request which I can do neither since screen is nr. Is usb file sharing on and dev debug off why this is happening? If so what can I do?
USB file sharing and debugging mode won't matter when using Fastboot commands. Are you on Windows 7, 8, 8.1?
Windows 8.1
Windows 8.1
It's a driver issue with 8.1. Google it & you'll find a few guides to help you get your PC set up properly.
So, in an attempt to return my device back to stock using the firmware1 and firmware2 method with Fastboot own rebootRUU instead of the simple executable (stupid me, right?)
I had to downgrade my HBOOT from 1.54 to 1.33 to run the RUU. However, upon downgrading it, it said that I had to immediately flush the firmware to the phone for preupdating or whatever, but by that time the Fastboot connection broke for some reason and I wasn't able to type in anymore commands. So I had to restart my phone, and now I am unable to establish a Fastboot connection in bootloader anymore. For some reason the drivers work absolutely fine when booted into android. But when I'm in the bootloader, the My HTC driver loads with a Code 10 this device could not be started error, and using the RUU exe just gets stuck on the black HTC screen because it can't run any Fastboot commands.
XDA, wat do?
Thanks!
Anyone? =/
SO, tl;dr-- My LG G watch turns on, then enters into a point where it is stuck doing the swirling colors boot animation until the battery dies. If I boot into bootloader mode, I cannot do anything other than reboot bootloader or power off. Recovery does not work, when I try it gives me the android guy on his back and tapping the screen does nothing. The restore tool used to be able to interface with my device, but now it does not even show up under 'adb devices.' If anyone could tell me something I can do, it would be greatly appreciated.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Yes, I have an unlocked bootloader. When I turn the device on, it shows the little 'unlocked' symbol.
If you boot to bootloader mode can you run fastboot commands? If so, download one of the 6.0.1 roms from XDA and then follow the install instructions. If not....hmmm, not sure!

How do I do fastboot commands? I can boot to bootloader mode, and the restore tool talks with my watch and recognizes it as a device sometimes.
Via a USB cable connected to a computer and the fastboot tool installed on that computer. You also need the correct fastboot drivers for this.
