I just updated my phone through wifi, somekind of system update i guess.. but after i've updated it and restartet it, it just freezes at the 'hero' screen (infinit loop boot maybe?) i just got the phone (used though) the only thing i can do is go into the fastboot screen, but i dont really know what to do now.. i've done various things to try to get further but the only difference have been that i've seen a screen showing a phone with a red triangle with an ! in it..
I normally never waste other peoples time with these problems, but this is ****ing annoying, if anyone could help me.. i would really appreciate it...
The phone isn't flashed just original rom..
Was it rooted before the update? This kind of thing happend to me with a Desire. I he'd done an ota update after root and got infinite boot loop.
The only thing to do, was to flash original ruu. I guess you should do so. Just search the forum for Hero RUUs. I'm sure you'll find.

going to try it now, found the ruu's you were talking about, if you got time afterwards would you help me to root it? would be nice, still thanks for the help though
dammit seemes like i've been here before... i've tried doing it with no success, like i said i can only go into fastboot usb mode.. it locks at the 'hero' screen so cant get into the OS to get the original ROM reinstalled :S
If you've got the latest ruu, then going to fastboot is enough. You must open fastboot, connect usb and run the exe. It's the only way.

it can't find my phone.. i've read some threads about some people having the same problem running window 7 x64, i figure it might be because i didn't install any drivers for the phone before, only used it through usb to recharge and usb stick.. but i've tried downloading the ADB software etc. still nothing.
It is a driver problem. Download latest htc sync. It has all the drivers. Helped in my case.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
awesome thanks, going to try it now
boot into recovery, do hard reset (this would erase every thing though)
and you need help to root? what is the version of your software?
it's still not working i'm getting [170] error... so i've searched for this problem and found some different methods to figure out what to do now, the weird thing is that in cmd when i type "fastboot devices"... it finds my device, that i already knew.. BUT when i type "adb devices" it just writes "List of devices attached" = nothing.. absolutly nothing.. soo guess i'll just have to figure out how to do next now..
how do i do that? explain it like i'm a moron ^^
well did it, still infinit loop :S
i really REALLY dont hope this ends up with me getting a crappy iphone instead..
now i know that it only get into something called cleanstorage.. not the recovery mode...
Wait. What have you done exactly? You don't need neither recovery, nor adb.
Adb won't see your device, because there's no working os on it. You just neet 2 things that will repair the phone. Htc sync and latest RUU EXE file. If you have htc sync, turn the phone into fastboot, plug usb cable and you will see 'fastboot usb plug' on the phone. Now open 'device manager' on pc (right click on Computer>properties>device manager o the left panel). If the drivers are ready, there will be 'Android>my htc'. If not, look on the taskbar near the clock. There mite be some mooving icon saying 'installing driver softwere' or something like that. Wate for some time. I wated about a minute till it said 'device is ready'.
Whet drivers are ready, run the RUU exe file. Say 'yes' to everything and don't touch the phone. It should do th job.
Try this steps and tell what happened.

Oh and don't forget to hard reset. It is the 'clean storage'.

dude i've done everything that you've said before, and now i did it again it doesn't work.. i still get the ERROR [170] USB-CONNECTIONERROR..
- if this makes any difference, for me it isn't called 'my htc' - it's 'ADB Interface' > 'HTC Bootloader'
- i've installed the ADB **** that didn't work, then uninstalled the driver, then downloaded the 'HTC Sync' and installed it, so it is the driver from 'HTC Sync'
i've might have found both the problem and solution now
okaay, it's a driver problem, now im trying it on my laptop, it then got to ERROR [131] instead xD haah well a bit progress is better than no progress at all..

Hi all,
My XPERIA U cannot get into fastboot mode even though I plugged the USB cable with holding down Volume Up Button.
I also tried it with holding down Volume Down Button.
I cannot have the bootloader unlocked.
My XPERIA U says its bootloader is allowed to be unlocked, and it is SIM free.
Please give me an advise to me!!
Thanks!

Same problem here
Anyway I try downloading flashtool and in the driver folder ( inside flashtool folder) there is an installer try install it when there are check box check them all and install
After that fastboot mode should be working
This is the easiest way to install fastboot driver, I think
It works for me

Just get the flashtool from here:
http://androxyde.github.com/
Install it (make sure you disable your antivirus while downloading).
Open C:\Flashtool\drivers and install the drivers.
Its the easiest way as Theonlyzii mentioned.
Theres workaround in general forum.
You must FAST!
Open device manager first
When you plugged in ur device with fast boot mode there should be a new driver detected on device manager,. Right click and update driver( you must fast before its disappear). After you succesfully install the driver now you can reconnect ur device in fastboot mode.
Hope this help. You might want to search that workaround im talking about for clearer instruction.

Nah mate...
I had failed. Windows just couldn't find the right drivers from doomlord's thread
Anyway, flashtool is the easiest, and pain free method.
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
Thanks all!!
Finally I could succeed unlocking the bootloader with the way of installing the driver from flashtool that you advised me!
I was not able to this method on my Windows8 RP PC, and I did not find the reason why I cannot. And I succeeded this on another Windows 7 PC! Thanks to you, I could notice that.
And for you, ankh.red,
I was trying it many times because my Xperia U turn off the blue LED soon(around 3 seconds). But it was always failing detecting any driver after I catch my Xperia U on the Device Manager. Of cource I had a driver from Sony's official page.
I think windows8 will need some change to do this. I have found on web someone who succeeded it on Windows8...
Anyway, I was helped by you! Thank you!! I will search next interesting things on the rooted from now!
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Yeah I have the same problem before... Blue LED 3 sec,
I have to install the fastboot driver ( not the Sony one but the one in fastboot USB folder) before it disappear on devices manager..
Anyway, I glad you're able to unlock your bootloader now .
Happy rooting lol

Dont wanna start another thread so im just going ask here:
1. Why the speaker is so quite or is it just me?!
2. How can i root without unlocking bootloader since i dont wanna loose drm files( did they even important?! )
3. If there be some forum just for xperia U/P or we need to post in this ection....
P.S. previousely iv had xperia x8 so im new with this xperia, and sorry if this questions are already answered....
1. Enable xLoud in Settings>Sound
2. Not yet possible. I believe DRM is some protection given to music files bought legally. I think you might not be able to play such files (correct me if I'm wrong)
3. Not yet. Many have requested mods. No seperate sections

thank you sir. perhaps someone can upload the latest one to a more useful temporary upload site, like yousendit perhaps? i am trying that older version though... i just need it for the drivers due to the fastboot won't activate the driver search and the XperiaU just continues to charge instead of remaining in fastboot.

For Windows 8 users. The drivers cannot be installed because of the driver signature enforcement.
This is how to disable it.
First, press win + I to launch the charm bar, and click Change PC Settings at the bottom.
Then, go to General, and scroll to the bottom of the page, click Restart Now button under Advanced Startup section.
The computer reboots to a startup menu, in which click Troubleshoot.
And click Advanced Options at next screen.
Choose Startup Settings next And click Restart button.
The computer reboots and prompts another menu to choose. One of the items is to Disable driver signature enforcement. Press number 7 or F7 to continue booting to Windows 8 with digital sign enforcement disabled.
Hope that helps

I seems like that there is a chance that you have no rom on your phone anymore. Something similar happened to me and my phone would only boot in hboot because there was no rom to boot into. Can you get it recognized by your computer.

Can you use fastboot on pc to see the device. To do so go to the folder you have adb and fastboot in and open it up in a command prompt then type fastboot devices while your phone is plugged in. If you see a bunch of numbers and letters and it says device then come back and reply to the thread. I probably won't answer for about another 8 hours as I am going to bed now. When I get up I will try and continue to help you.
Good night

Thank you loads, I am trying it now and I shall let you know what happens. Thank you so much.
Hey.
I have the programs installed, however have never had to use them before. I have watched several videos on what to do with this program but I keep getting stuck and confused. I have opened the command window and after trying to search I can not find the device on there. One tutorial I have been watching has got me so far, but I am stuck on it after that point. I've included a screenshot of what I've managed to get so far, any help would be greatly appreciated.
So when you type fastboot also type the word devices. Fastboot devices should show your phone if it is connected if so then we can go from there.

Yeah sure that okay. Well now that it seems that your phone is being recongnized by the computer. Okay now just tell me if your hardware buttons work at all when you are in hboot.
no, my hardware buttons don't work at all, I can't do anything on the phone to change the original screen.
So the power button doesn't work either.

Seeing that your fastboot seems to work try relocking your bootloader through fastboot and download the ruu for your phone with the corresponding carrier from androidfiles ruu. Remember to select buzz if this doesn't work please report back.

Hello XDA-Developers,
I've been a reader here for awhile now learning things about the android development for my devices and used many of your all members TUTs, but now i have came across a big issue that has broke my phone and need assistance getting it back online to be used with my carrier again. Below I'll explain my situation of what happen and what I need to be done so I can use the phone again or least get it back to factory stock so I can get a new phone... I will also offer someone $5-10 via PayPal for the assistance if you can help me get my phone back to the condition needed.
To start it off, I purchased a phone off a guy on craigslist, a AT&T HTC One M7 (Model: PN07120), when I purchased the device it was unlocked so I could use it on my carrier that was the reason I purchased it because I'm with T-Mobile. When I purchased the phone i went to setup the device to my needs and requirements and after two days of having the device, I noticed that the phone still had the previous owners information stored and was setup based on him, so because I didnt know the phone was rooted or anything, I googled how to factory reset my phone, so that way I could set it up to my wants, and requirements and below I'll explain the steps i'm at and what it is doing...
1. Searched google for the how-to method to factory reset my phone...
2. Went to 'Settings App', Backup & Restore, Reset Phone, Erase everything, Selected OK.
3. Followed the steps, phone rebooted..
4. Loaded up to the HTC (green logo) screen and stayed there...
5. Waited a few moments, phone never powered 100% back online just stayed at the HTC welcome logo when you first power phone back on.
6. So then I did the Boot Menu steps, (Hold Powerkey + Volume Down) to get into the boot menu,
7. When I got there it loaded to the boot manager window and I clicked FASTBOOT
8. Loaded new menu/logo "twrp" logo, then went to a menu "team win recovery project v2.6.3.3" with the list of options: INSTALL/WIPE/Backup/Restore/Mount/Settings/Advanced/Reboot.
9. I went to reboot to try to least get the phone booted, then when I was in the option to reboot, it gave me the warning of "No OS Installed", Continue without OS?"
10A. If I selected yes, it told me Install SuperSU, for root, otherwise phone wont be rooted.
10A1. I tried doing INSTALL SUPERSU did nothing..
10B. Did without installing SUPERSU and did nothing too, just when I boot comes back to this same menu Team Win Recovery Project.
So it seems I bricked my device as what everyone calls it to what I believe, I am unsure though or unsure how to fix this. I need to get the device either back to factory resetted to like the device comes out the box, so that I can use it, or what to do to get it back rooted successfully and working to be able to use the phone like i could at first.
I tried contacting the buyer but hes ignoring me now that I told him he told me the device wasnt rooted but the device was rooted and i seemed to have a major problem happen trying to restore the phone to factory defaults to set it up to my requirements...
My concerns and want is..
- My Carrier is T-Mobile USA LTE - So, I would have to get the device to stay UNLOCKED so I can still use the device on my carrier: T-Mobile, as it is a AT&T HTC One M7 Unlocked (Was working fine on my T-Mobile Sim prior to me trying to factory reset, besides the phone was named to the original owner and had all his settings and customizations that i didnt like or want.
- I NEED to get the phone back in a working condition. So please I'm really asking for your help I tried searching a couple articles here but couldnt find anything related to my situation.. This is why I am offering a payment for someone to be able to successfully restore my device back to working condition. Please help me!
- NOTE: When plugged up to the computer via USB Cord it did not connect or anything also. I also did not perform a backup because I didnt need any information that was currently on the device because it was the content and settings of the original owner i bought it from so I wanted to clear it all and set it up to my own.
- Overall, my phone is messed up because I tried factory resetting the device not knowing it was rooted, during the process found out it was rooted and now seem to have a bricked phone and need to know how i can fix it, and get android OS back installed, as it tells me there is NO OS installed when I reboot or try booting the device, and it remains at the HTC Bootlogo when powering it on without holding the power + volume down key to access a boot menu to perform a reset, install, etc, Like I mentioned I just want to restore my phone back to working condition even if that means to have to root the device again, etc. All I'm asking for is someone to either help me with each step or to write a step by step what I would need to do to recover and restore my phone.
Phone: HTC one m7 (AT&T)
Computer; Windows
Thank you,
PM or respond here.
Don't worry you device is not bricked...
Google Android Revolution HD 41.0 for HTC one. Download that ROM.
Second you will have to install android SDK to be able to access adb.exe and fastboot.exe...
Now once you installed the SDK move the ROM ARHD to where adb.exe is located.
run command prompt "CMD" from your computer until you are in the folder where you have you adb.exe
Now on your phone get into recovery TWRP and select advance, in advance the is an option called adb sideload click on it and at the bottom slide the button to initiate that mode.
Back to the computer in which you should be in CMD type command "adb devices" and make sure your device shows up. After successfully seen your device there type "adb sideload file-rom.zip and press enter, make sure the file-rom.zip is the exact name of the ROM you are trying to push into the phone.

Okay I've done the steps you've instructed to me and I'm stuck at after launching the sideload feature on my phone; then going back to the computer and running 'adb devices' and under "List of Attached Devices" there isn't anything listed yet, and the phone says "Starting ADB sideload feature..." is the last line, I'm stuck with what to do...
I downloaded android SDK
downloaded the ROM
moved the ROM to the sdk folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are
launched adb sideload feature under advanced on mobile device
went back to the computer and ran, 'adb devices', and list of attached devices is none...
so I'm back at being stuck.

Where do I move it too once I have the android SDK downloaded and the rom downloaded...

Then goes back to where I can type another command...
The phone itself screen is on the adb sideload feature, and in the textbox thing, shows the following
Updating partition details...
Starting ADB sideload feature...
then has a Cancel button underneath and then a loading bar underneath that... am I doing something wrong? or missing something?

HTC Manager = no
drivers = i dont know.
Note: I never had the phone plugged up to my computer before when it was working. I had just purchased the phone off of craigslist and the guy didnt inform me it was rooted or anything just that it was unlocked and worked on tmobile and when i got it it had all his info on it so i factory resetted it and it messed everything up as you can see.
So, I dont believe i have anything drivers installed and i know when i plug it up, there are 4 things windows says installing/etc, and only the first one says completed the other 3 fail.
I am using Windows 7.
You help me get my phone back in working condition I will personally paypal you $20.

Go to this website and download the HTC sync manager
http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
Once installed go to control panel > programs and uninstall a program... Look for the HTC sync manager and uninstall it, but leave the htc drivers alone.
Connect the HTC one to the computer and wait for the drivers to install automatically... After they are successfully installed try to run the CMD adb command adb devices

Do you have HTC manager installed? If so uninstall it but leave the HTC drivers.
Which windows you are using as well ?

Okay so I've done all that and after doing what you said, plugging the phone up to the computer everything installs besides the HTC MTP driver when the phone is plugged in. I still tried doing adb devices from cmd prompt to check and that didnt work still, no devices listed.
I get this error under the driver:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Based on what I've been reading that code error might be cause by a corrupted driver installed.

was a tough little driver... well the solution as we saw was that instead of trying to make recovery detect the drivers.... what needed to be done first was let fastboot detect drivers "android 1.0" and once that was done... the previous error was gone.
TopoX;
You know this guy right here is clutch in my book.... He actually walked me through step by step, customizing how i needed it, fixing everything, and getting it back up and even though we had to do alot of modifications on my computer-end, him with TeamViewer literally fixed my phone, upgraded my laptop, and got my phone running better then normal and actually showed me how to do everything and taught me things I didn't know how to do with these Android Phones.
I am now very happy and thankful of XDA-Developers for allowing me to get this assistance and for having a great community with members like TopoX who literally saved my ass and restored my phone back to working condition and fixed my laptop all together, even though I was a brand new member with hardly any posts and not really much background, anyone else wouldn't of wasted their time... but he helped and even was up until 3AM ish doing it with me to make sure I got it back to exactly how I wanted...
We had to get the HTC MTP Driver installed correctly which kept failing/getting code error 10 (Unable to start) which if you google the issue it seems ALOT of people get this issue, and we resolved it by fastbooting and letting it install Android 1.0 itself, then manually updating my pc with windows updates and getting rid of the junk to stop corrupting and failing the drivers needed, then getting everything needed to flash my phone and re-root the device getting everything back in a working condition, unlocked, got that done and now phone is working better then before...
I'm currently running Team Win Recovery Project, ARHDOne-61.0 Google Play Edition, Rooted, SuperUser and Unlocked.
I personally wanna thank TopoX for everything he did and dedicating his time to helping resolve the issue for me.

Cool story bro. Seriously..... Cool story.
I love XDA.
If anyone is trying too get in contact with "djay1127", please contact me on this user, my original first account djay1127 I can no longer access the account as I set it up with my Google account, gplus login, and I can no longer access that email, it's closed out. So I created a new account with my main email account and username.
I plan to contact a admin after doing some searching to discuss getting my old account removed, and the posts and crap merged into this account instead...
Regards.
I have a AT&T HTC One M8 Gold edition. I bought the phone from someone and it was rooted at first. I tried doing a factory reset through the phone settings and for some reason, I kept getting "cannot reach Google servers" every time I opened the Play Store. I read online that it might have to do with the ROM installed on it by the previous owner. Long story short, after messing with the unlocked boot loader on S-ON, I deleted the OS and cannot get past the HTC Logo at startup. I am able to go into recovery however in TWRP.
I am fairly new to HTC and Android in general so any help would be very appreciated. I noticed similar situations by other users on here but for some reason those did not resolve my situation. I have called HTC Support about it and in two days time I can send it out but it does say TAMPERED and UNLOCKED at the top of the Bootloader screen.
Here is more information about my phone that may help:
AT&T HTC One M8
TAMPERED / UNLOCKED
1.12.502.18
(I have downloaded the stock recovery for this but while trying to perform the FASTBOOT or ADC commands in Terminal, it states that no devices are attached and yes I have the drivers installed along with Sync Manager. I have done it on multiple computers and operating systems using both 2.0 and 3.0 USB but still nothing. I have tried the two toolkits in the INDEX section of this HTC One M8 but neither recognizes the device.)
The phone is S-On
(fairly new to rooting so not sure if it has to be S-Off to side load a ROM, I tried a tutorial for making it S-Off but I have to set a number of settings which I cannot since I can't access the home screen settings of the phone)
It had the Revolution ROM on it before the reset by Mike... not very familiar with ROMs.
I have tried the SD Card method but get errors and results in FAIL.
I have used the toolkits as well as the MANUAL way of doing things but neither recognizes the device whether in recovery, boot loader, or HTC Logo screen.
Thanks in advance for any and all the help.
Check your pm.

Not completely clear, but it sounds like you are surprised that deleting the OS has rendered the phone unable to boot? Of course not OS means the phone will not be able to boot.
It seems like you are improvising a bit too much with your phone. Unless you are an experienced user, and confidant in what you are doing (you already state this is not the case) I would recommend sticking to established guides posted on XDA; or advice from experienced/reputable users here. Fiddling with phone while having a fundamental lack of knowledge and understanding is the main problem that has gotten you to this point.
Your PC isn't connecting to the phone by adb/fastboot. So nothing you are trying to do is going to work, including S-off, Toolkit, side loading, etc. You are going to have to troubleshoot the connection problem first. USB connection with HTC devices can be really finicky, and the cause of headaches for many here in my experience on other devices. You've already tried other computers, and USB ports. Try to unistall Sync Manager and drivers, and reinstall. Try adb with the Sync Manager removed, but HTC drivers still installed. Also, only try with Windows 7 or earlier. I think Win8.1 straight out will not work with this device; Win8 might work, but I wouldn't count on it.
I think some folks have also had luck removing HTC Sync, then (with phone connected) go to Windows Device Manager and manually clicking on the device and installing drivers through Device Manager.
I don't think S-off is needed to sideload. But as mentioned, this doesn't matter anyway, unless you fix the fundamental adb connection issue. I also would recommend just adb push to the phone's memory while in TWRP (once you get adb working). Then flash the ROM from TWRP once the ROM is on the phone's internal SD. I've seen at least one person here have issues sideload flashing when adb push (then flash in TWRP) worked perfectly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751705

If you are trying to help the OP, is there a reason to hide your advice in PM, instead of posting it here, where it may help others in the community with the same of similar issue?
I was finally able to solve the issue. Somehow it randomly started recognizing the phone in recovery which allowed for the adb push command to work. I have created a backup so if anything goes wrong I can always go into recovery and install it.
Only problem I have now is somehow the ROM I have Renovate 2.0 came with Mobigenie and a Search app that I cannot get rid of. It does not show up anywhere in app manager or files.
Anyone know how to remove it as I cannot move any app around by holding icon. Holding it does nothing.

Just finished flashing over to the Android Revolution ROM and all seems great now. Thanks for the suggestion.
