Good afternoon, !!!
First and foremost , I want to thank you all in advance for ANY and help, time & consideration with my current issue. I will try my best to be clear, and give all relevant info here in my first post. Please bear with me, I am pretty good when it comes to following directions, but i havent been able to find a CLEAR solution to this yet, and worried about further screwing up my phone.
** I use a mac. I currently dont have access to a PC, so i am looking for a mac remedy if possible.
I have an HTCONE m7. Tmobile.
- Bootloader - Unlocked
- S- ON
- Rooted
I kept getting a OTA software update notice for 5.14xxx, i understand the install kept failing due to the bootloader being unlocked and/or root. So after being annoyed for not able to get it, i began googling ways to get the update but to no avail. So i decided to do CM11, & recovery which i installed with no problem via, Cyanogenmod Installer.
After doing so, i realized i lost my Tmobile Wifi Calling (Yes, my own fault for not further checking that scenario before doing cm11), The wifi calling is needed 10000%, due to bad service in my apartment. Prior to finding out that cm11 doesnt contain the tmobile wifi calling , I attempted another system update thru the phone, (I assume it was updating cm11).
This is where the problem began, phone rebooted to Cyanogenmod simple recovery ,
1st few times that i tried = "apply update" > choose from internal storage , i searched different folders for the "update" file, but to no avail. The phone wouldnt start up, or install anything , and will just stay on the simple recovery. I even attempted an adb sideload. But couldnt figure that out correctly either.
After a few failed attempts, I tried wiping the phone, cache, factory reset etc. now the phone still stays on simple recovery, and all folders are gone, except for an o/ folder, that contains a clockworkmod folder, which contains nothing.
So now basically,Do i have to eventually get back to STOCK on this phone, to regain tmobile wifi calling ? IF So i need the easiest, mac friendly route to go .
Again, i thank you ALLLLL in advance, & my apologies if this is in the wrong section. Please note ive done my fair share of googling , and reading up on this. But consistently run into a problem.

What's the radio version that is installed? Should be viewable on the bootloader screen at the top. That will help determine which RUU you need to get back to running again.
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...50.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed.exe
If it matches the numbers/letters after the Radio_ part there, then that is the file you need. Let me know, and I can download it for you and extract the rom.zip from the exe and upload that. Then you can use fastboot commands to install it on the phone. If your radio version does not match that, please post and we'll see if there are other options.
I don't believe that flashing another rom would work right now since all the storage and such got wiped, but it might be possible to use adb while in recovery to push a rom to the internal storage and install it and then use fastboot to install the boot.img from the rom in bootloader mode since you are S-On.

Hi, I've had lot's of problems with my HTC recently, no adb access etc, device not being recognised and recovery playing up, ie not being able to wipe install roms etc... however I fixed the recovery issue and managed to do a nandroid backup, I put on I think it was 1.5 HTC sense hero rom... and recently realised that i can only flash 1.5 roms, not 2.1 anymore? would any developer know what would of caused this problem? Any 2.1 rom just locks on the Hero logo, and I've left it for over an hour in some cases and nothing happens. Again, I used to be able to put on any custom rom.... I'm all out of ideas.
wipe
did you wipe? what recovery image you using etc etc?
1. post in the correct section.
2. remove the ext4 partition from your sdcard, or change it to ext2 or ext3.
3. get adb logcat, otherwise this is like the question "my car won't run, can anybody tell me why?"
I have wiped numerous times... sorry for the "my car won't run type question etc...." just that I've done my research, gooogled, posted detailed info previously on here and another forum, I even fixed my own problem of the recovery image, without fixing that I would have nothing. But anyway the card is partitioned with swap, ext2, fat32 using the latest Amon_Ra image 1.6? something... i've spent weeks trying to resolve this and learnt a lot along the way.
Obviously not where to find the adb logcat... don't worry I'll google it.
Apologies for posting in the wrong forum, if it can be moved could a mod do so?

Thanks for your reply, I will approach this method again at some point and give it a try, but I think I read somewhere that I couldn't do it for whatever reason, but I'll look into it again seeing as you've had the same issues. Thanks.

Actually I believe I didnt attempt this because I was no longer able to get my HTC hero working with ADB, as soon as I plug the device in, it comes up as device unrecognised, so I think goldcard method it out.. :-(
on the risk of offending you again (even though i am trying to help here...): you did not provide really much valid info. for most things you just said "doesn't work". what happens if you start by pushing home+power? saying the recovery doesn't boot up tells what does NOT happen, for a diagnosis we need the info what DOES happen.
anyway, if i get you right your recovery is now working. now repartition your sdcard (ext2 and fat, NO swap), do a full wipe, then install the rom you desire to use, then move the log to sdcard ("other" in recovery). reboot your phone and execute "adb logcat > c:\logcat.txt" on your pc. if it doesn't boot up after five minutes stop logcat with ctrl-c and post the two logfiles (recovery.log and logcat.txt). you need to set up adb, if you have problems with that sort them out, there is no way to get any information about your problem without the log.
oh, and about the goldcard: i don't know too much about goldcard'ing, but i can't see how this should help here. my strongest guess is that the swap partition interferes with the boot process...
No worries no offence taken. Pushing Home+Power works and takes me to recovery. Back+Power takes me to bootloader and USB Bootloader device is recognised, so I am able to get Fastboot.
Just recently installed stock rom, to see if that solved the USB and ROM issues but no such luck, re-rooted, put anom latest recovery back on, and went on to do what you have advised to help.. i've attached only the recovery.log in zip format only, as when doing adb logcat command use mentioned(after installing new rom), all I get is "waiting for devices" whilst the phone is stuck on the Hero logo, I waited about 10 minutes, exited from the adb, and the log file was empty as I guessed. I've tried every possible way that I found on the web to try and get the ADB function working again and I realise this is important to get some info.. but I've ran out of ideas for that.
Maybe the recovery(attached) may show something, all I noticed is that the cache and something else was not wiped for some reason? If you or someone has time, have a look through maybe someone knows what is going on.
Thanks for your help and patience

First, locate your caps lock and TURN IT OFF. Next locate your period key and put them on the end of your sentences. Making sense of your post is giving me a headache.
Now, on your computer you need to disable the "hide file extensions for known file types" option to fix the zip.zip problem. Can't give you exact directions since you didn't say which os you're using.

I have the same problem and I tried to get in through the clorkworkMod adb shell, but the device is not recognized by adb...? When the device boots up it is recognized. with my DINC I could use the shell while in clorkworkmod.
Is it showing as device offline or not showing the device at all. If its offline, through cmd, close adb server, then start it back up, half the time that fixed that problem for me. If its not showing at all, try setting it to HTC Sync i believe was the one i had to do at one point for it to register. I've rooted 4 times using ADB method and each time its been a little different, so i can't narrow down what i'm doing wrong to help you more with the adb, sorry.
Similar Issue
Hi All and thanks to all the cats on here that willfully give their knowledge! I have a Tbolt - Rooted with Revolutionary, stock rom (removed VZ Bloat via Titanium ), but this latest OTA update is not leaving me alone. I try to reject it and magically a few days later I get out of nowhere reboot and then the android exclamation point with a triangle. I use the Clockwork Mod Recovery to wipe data cache and reboot which makes the update manager get upset saying it failed. The error I see in Clockwork is this:
CWM Recovery V5.0.2.1
E: Failed to verify whole file signature
E: Signature Verification Failed
Install Aborted
So how can I get this update (I am assuming it is to fix the HTC fail for new exploit out there) which I think would be a good thing. I am not ready to flash a custom ROM yet so please don't reply saying "Just flash with my favorite ROM"
Thanks ahead of time!
It pushes the update, and if you don't reject within 3 mins, viola, you have a nice new update. If you can still get into recovery, which it sounds you can, install a stock rooted either full or debloated. Thats the updated equivalent to what you have now. Make sure you grab the rooted though. Here is the full rooted (not debloated) http://www.multiupload.com/H06XI7W380
from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312193
I'd probably wipe cache and dalvik cache, but you can probably leave data since you're staying stock.
Thanks for the direction nbdysreal!
Not the first post a noob really wants to make...but I've been searching the forums for an answer to my problem, but can't seem to find the info on the issue I'm having. I've seen some that were close & tried what was posted there without any success. I've checked out the Don't Panic -- Please Read First, includes troubleshooting guide Thread By: om4
A few days ago, I tried to install CM10 on my 4G LTE w/S-ON / HBOOT- 1.19. I was able to unlock the bootloader & install TWRP. Everything seemed to go okay until I rebooted my phone after installing CM10. It just hung on the Cyanogenmod splash screen. I tried re-installing it & kept getting the same problem. Today, I tried to install MeanROM ICS v6.5, but it keeps saying install failed. If I let the phone boot up, it'll hang on the MeanRom splash screen. I can still get into fastboot so I know it has to be a software issue. I've been beating my head against the wall for the past few days & just don't know how to fix it. Right now I have a very expensive paperweight. I'm hoping someone can help me fix this & get my phone back up & running.
TIA
for the millionth time
flash the boot.img seperately in hboot
Get (Flash Image GUI) off the Play Store.
If yr S-ON then u have to flash the kernel separate. That's why the ROM's keep hanging.

if you know how to Fastboot, go for it, but use the Boot.img from the ROM you are flashing.

It's the only option I have now, so I hope I can figure it out. Wish me luck. I know it's probably something stupid that I'm missing & it's driving me crazy. lol
For meanrom make sure you have twrp 2.2.2.0 or later to be able install. The kernel installer will force the phone to reboot upon first run, this is when the kernel installs. For cm10 or other aosp based roms be sure to properly wipe phone. Cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system. Fastboot the kernel using SDK, mini SDK, uniflash, or boot image flasher. Do not use clockwork mod recovery to install roms as it is known to damage internel storage and or misc partitions.

Thanks for all the info!!! I'm glad I found this place!!! I was able to get my phone working again. I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1937949 from back in October and found out that I was putting the boot.img in the wrong location. Once I fixed that, I have my phone back. Now I have to get it re-activated because I had to switch back to my Hero because I wasn't sure how long this would take. I hope Sprint will activate it even though is not stock anymore.

Well now I have another small problem. When I try to use the camera or go into gallery, it says no external storage available. Looks like I'm off to search the forums again for a fix. I'm sure it's something minor.
It looks like it's the internal SD card. Under storage in settings it shows the external card's total space & the 3 GBs used for app data, ect...
When I try and mount the SD card, it says preparing card but doesn't do anything. I think I say something about changing something in TWRP.
Forgot to mention, I can't connect the phone via USB either.
Ha, fixed my SD card/USB issues by following the directions in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812774

So it didn't work..Also it said I have version 1.29.631.4 and this is 1.26.631.4 .. wouldn't I want the newer one? I never used a rom exe like this.. only flashed different rom zips from here.. the 3 available.
Also I am not posistive I MIGHT have used a "flash kernal" on one of the rom zips the android revolution one the very first time I installed it...
using "One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0" that is available here on at&t htc one part of forum. Then I kept reading and flashed it using recovery mode... and the rom worked well everything was fine except wifi... then today I flashed the others like I explained before trying to fix wifi and now the internet won't work as well. but the rest of the phone functions as it should and my carrier network works fine i can txt / call .
I follow your steps and it said this when I ran the exe..
ERROR[132]:SIGNATURE ERROR

I have the same problem too,my HTC One wifi keep saying turning on and then error after root, i tried using the wifi tether app but its not working, any one can help please?
I've re-read your OP and you don't have the correct RUU for your device. You have an M7 not a Puccini, anyway like the At&T model a RUU for rogers doesn't exist yet.
As for fixing your wifi, your best hope is to restore your nandroid backup (I hope you made one) or find a Nandroid for your device. I know there's a thread over on the International forums with Nandroids in it, maybe find it there or make a request there.
OK. So. I've been encountering nothing but problems since I received my Huawei Ascend P2 phone.
To begin with -
I bought the phone for the sole purpose of it being 4G/LTE. When I got it, I couldn't figure out how to get it, so I contacted Three and was told that my phone had to be 4.3 - it was running 4.1.2.
When I tried to get 4.3 through whatever means, it stopped working.
I tried to do a complete factory reset and now I'm getting many more problems -
I keep getting errors that anything Google related has stopped working (especially Google keyboard).
My contacts won't auto-sync, despite me having my Google account synced up with it.
The icons at the bottom of the screen (back, home, settings/whatever else) won't light up and the home button isn't working.
It's a different loading screen than normal - before it was a Huawei Ascend splash screen, now it just says "Android".
It is not being detected by my laptop whatsoever.
When I try and download anything using a browser, it says "starting download" but nothing works.
So, anyone have a solution? It is driving me demented. And all because I wanted bloody 4G.

I think we need some more info on the attempt to upgrade via whatever means. What steps / guide were you following? Did you install a custom rom? If so, what rom and what recovery are you using? From a few minutes of searching around, it seems that there is no official 4.3 update for the phone, and just being ON 4.3 itself will not automagically enable LTE service as this has much to do with the radio/baseband used as much as the actual operating system and that will not get updated via a custom rom (99.999% of the time unless SPECIFICALLY stated). Seems like they are working on an LTE capable update/patch for 4.1.2 soon according to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50495570&postcount=162 (that post is part of a thread about your phone on a UK carrier so should be pertinent).

Thank you for your reply.
I'll talk you through the steps I took as much as I can.
Firstly I rooted the phone using eRoot, which did work and allowed root access.
I then downloaded P2Tools, which was obtained from this thread and it allowed me to put CWM on it.
Once this was done, I attempted to put CM 10.2 on it, but kept getting a Status 7 error. Some quick Googling later, I discovered this video, which showed how to solve it.
When I followed the steps on there, I kept getting a Status 0 error.
That was when I started to encounter those problems, so I wiped everything I could, even system, but that part failed.
And that's about it.

K. So you are still on the stock rom, rooted, with CWM recovery (which version?), and after you attempted to wipe /system, it failed to wipe (what was the error message there?), and now it boots and has all kinds of weird glitches? First thing to try would be to go back to CWM and wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and then Fix Permissions. This MIGHT help. If it doesn't then you will just probably want to throw a stock rom back on there to get back to running right again.

I've wiped the Caches and Dalvik Cache and can't seem to find "Fix Permissions". I did some searching and it seems this feature was removed from CWM? I'm running v6.0.3.7 of CMW.
When I try to format the system, it says
E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Error formatting /system!
Weird, they did take it out. Koush said it was a placebo. Which normally I would take as law, if it weren't for many times I have ran fix permissions and it caused apps that were force closing to not force close anymore. But whatever, if you wanna try, flash this: http://db.tt/9aWdF8Rp. It'll either help fix something, or do nothing. Won't make it any worse. If it can't mount to format though, it's either or a bug with CWM for your device, or after factory reset, reboot recovery and try again. But you really don't want to wipe /system unless you have a nandroid or another rom on your storage that is accessible.
Thanks so much for your help so far. Took me ages to figure out how to get that file on my phone, but I managed to do it. I then installed zip from recovery mode and chose the fix_permissions. Then reboot and it asked me to root the phone again. It's now upgrading and hopefully it will work now.
It is still saying "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped" and other things. What do you reckon I can do now? You're right, it seems like I can't make it any worse.

Ok. So looks like first thing to check is to see WHICH version of the P2 you have because it seems like there are at least 2 different sub versions of it. The P2-6070 and the P2-6011. Please go to Settings / About Phone/Device and let me know all the software info there.
Also, have you unlocked the bootloader (I'm guessing so since you have recovery, but just checking)?
I found some more info on how to get you back up and running, but want to confirm the system version so everything goes as smoothly as possible. There's a new update that just came out not too long ago that people are saying LTE works on, so hopefully we can get you to that point.

Mine is the P2-6011.
Swear if we get this working, never changing anything ever.
Yes, the bootloader is unlocked.
Alright, so here is a link for the newest firmware for your phone :
http://huaweidevices.ru/ROM4221/P2/...R001C00B038CUSTC19D001_United_Kingdom_H3G.rar
Need to be on stock recovery. Unpack the rar file and put the whole folder /dload on the root of the SD card. This has the update.app that should take care of everything for you. Turn off the phone and turn it on by holding Vol + and - and Power together. This is supposed to boot it into the mode to take care of the update for you.
If you don't wanna go back to complete stock, I have another way that involves switching to TWRP recovery and restoring a rom via nandroid restore. If you'd prefer that, lemme know and I'll shoot you the links.

If I ever meet you I definitely owe you a drink. Did exactly as you said and everything (from what I can tell) is working.
It's one of the things I love about Android phones - unless you do some serious damage to it physically, for the most part it is fixable.
So, thanks button isn't enough - you saved me giving up and buying a new phone
*Hi Five* Glad all is well!
But yea, I do this for a living. Seriously. Helping people on here is how I stay sharp. lol
getting a gateway 504 error from link to firmware, would love to get this update working as i keep getting a notification on phone saying update available but it wont work

Thank you for your reply.
I'll talk you through the steps I took as much as I can.
Firstly I rooted the phone using eRoot, which did work and allowed root access.
I then downloaded P2Tools, which was obtained from this thread and it allowed me to put CWM on it.
Once this was done, I attempted to put CM 10.2 on it, but kept getting a Status 7 error. Some quick Googling later, I discovered this video, which showed how to solve it.
When I followed the steps on there, I kept getting a Status 0 error.
That was when I started to encounter those problems, so I wiped everything I could, even system, but that part failed.
And that's about it.

Sorry for digging this up but does someone have the stock ROM of the P2? Im stuck like the fella who started this thread and havent found the stock ROM anywhere.
Thanks for the attention.
