Problems returning phone to stock - AT&T HTC One (M8)

Thanks to the incoming call issue due to VoLTE, I've decided to return my phone to stock. I read a post that said all I'll have to do is lock my bootloader and use an RUU. Well the RUU freezes. I've tried it three times, waiting for about 30 minutes each time, but never could get pass the ROM loading stage. I don't quite know what the issue is. I've tried on 2 different laptops, both running Windows 7 Pro. I'm currently running Venom 4.6.0 with TWRP recovery and S-ON. I downloaded 4.28.502.1 RUU as that was the stock ROM I was running before going to Venom. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sometimes apps like HTC sync will cause issues with ruu exes. Be sure nothing else that can talk to the phone is installed.

Thanks, I'll try with sync manager not running.

Be sure it is uninstalled. I tried with it "not running" and still had the issue. I had to completely uninstall HTC Sync.

Thanks for the advice. Finally have my phone back to stock. It's quite unfortunate, but I'll have to live with the bloat until there's a fix for the VoLTE issue on custom ROMs.

[Q] Rezound Rebooting w/ notifications on Nils Rom

I just flashed [ROM] (5/25) Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 last night for my S-OFF ReZound. Everything went beautifully and the ROM looks great. The problem I think I have is whenever an app throws up a notification my phone reboots. I first noticed it whenever I sync'd my Google account and it threw up a notification about new gmail messages. So I stopped syncing Gmail. Then it happened whenever I tried to open Twitter/Facebook or when I adjusted the ringtone volume or my alarm went off.
Does anyone have an idea why these things would cause the phone to reboot? Are there any commonalities between these functions?
Weird. Not sure about that. The only rebooting I get on the ROM is when I use my Lock Screen App instead of using the power button. From what I understand though, that is a problem with ALL the ICS versions for Rezound. I can't wait until that is fixed...I hate trying to press that little power button through the small hole in the case I use.
Did you do a full wipe and then flash? Sounds like something residual from a previous ROM. If you did wipe and flash, did you restore anything in Titanium? It clearly states in the OP for that ROM not to do that.
yea i did a full wipe and flash twice. i havent installed or used Titanium to this point.
it first started happening when i attempted to sync my google account, which was about the 3rd thing i did after installing the ROM.
Someone for mad at me for telling them search the old firmware patch
Is suggest you do the same
If you can't find your sdcard or if your phone reboots when it makes a sound.... You need to flash the old firmware patch

if you're referring to the GB firmware patch, then I did do that during the ROM install process per the instructions. i can try doing that again though.
You are on gingerbread firmware correct?
I have read about the patch not working the first time so that could be the issue

i did come from GB firmware, but flashed the RUU 3.14.605.5 and then flashed the GB firmware patch. after doing this and booting into the RUU, i then flashed Nil's ROM.

if you flashed the 3.14RUU, you shouldn't need the GB firmware patch since you are now on ICS.
I would reinstall the ROM and skip the patch.
oh ok! i will do that now.

rats, 5 minutes later, as i'm refreshing my twitter app, it reboots. going to see if it continues to replicate. so far it has. uninstalling and reinstalling it. /// still rebooting when i refresh twitter. weird.

When you went from gb and ran the ics ruu, did you run the ruu twice.? It only updates a few things the first time through. The second time it does all items on the list.
Sent from my Rezound
oh my, just read through Nil's instructions again and you're right, it does say to run it twice...
i only did the RUU once.
ok, so from here, I need to reflash the RUU one more time? and then reload Nil's ROM?
hmm, also noticed on step #10 i need to unlock the bootloader again? is this true even if i'm s-off?
I went from completely stock to S-OFF and running Nils' latest Business Sense 2 days ago. I have not had any of the problems you mentioned.
His instructions do no say to install the RUU twice. They say that it's a 2 pass affair to install it. If you went through the whole process to install it once, you don't need to do it again.
However, I agree with an earlier post. Installing a GB firmware patch after installing an ICS RUU is probably your problem. Re-doing the whole thing from Nils' instructions for "Latest Leak and Installation Instructions", and then just installing his v4.1 ROM is probably all you need to do to get straightened out.
You absolutely need to flash the RUU twice. The 2nd time it will appear to be stuck on one of the times and flash it like 10 times but that is normal.

It says that in Step #10, I believe. And yes, you have to do that in order to install (or re-install, as the case may be) AR Recovery (Step #11).

I started on Monday with a bone stock Rezound. I unlocked, rooted, and did the wire trick for S-OFF.
Then I flashed the 3.14 RUU once, unlocked again, installed AR Recovery again, and then flashed Nils' v4.1 ROM (for S-OFF).
My phone seems to be working fine. Exchange mail (I don't use Gmail), contacts, calendar and tasks. Visual Voice Mail. Notifications. Text messaging. Facebook. WiFi Tether. Google Maps. Camera. Bluetooth handsfree. Everything seems to work fine. The only thing I haven't tested yet, that I mean to, is to force it to 3G only for data and test that I can talk and surf the Web at the same time.
Since I did not flash the RUU twice, what should I be looking for to not work right?
Do not HTC unlock after s-off.
Edit: saw you did.... Basically you will have unlocked or re locked. If you wanted the bootloader to appear stock you have to s-on and do the s-off process again. Then it would say locked. Not a big deal.... Unless you are paranoid and have to do a warranty swap.

Just tested the SVDO.
Went into Phone Info and set my phone to CDMA Auto (PRL).
Turned off WiFi.
Confirmed status bar displayed 3G.
Called up my bank and let the automated menu thing talk over speakerphone.
Ran Speedtest on phone and it worked.
Went into Phone browser, did a Google search and got results.
Turned on WiFi Tether on my phone.
Connected my TouchPad (running ICS) to phone hotspot.
Ran Speedtest on TP. Got 1934kbps down and 1945kbps up.
I'd say simultaneous voice and 3G data work just fine with Nils' ROM, too...

Calls not working.

Have a VZW DNA, currently on Hatka 3.0.3. S-Off, latest radio, stock 2.04 kernel. Twrp
Shortly before I flashed the new radios, I had a problem that whenever I tried to connect a call, whether incoming or outgoing, com.android.phone or.. process.acore?? would force close. I can't remember what the exact name of the acore force close was. Anyway.
I was pretty sure I fixed the problem before I flashed the new radios, but either way, I have the problem again. And, I have noticed that after the force close, the SIM seems to reset. Get a toast message for preparing the SIM card.
It makes no difference whether its the stock dialer, or a third party like Go Contacts. Third party apps don't force close, just go back to whatever I was doing before I tried to connect the call.
I tried flashing the viper with both dsb's stock and cubed kernel with viper to no avail. I haven't tried RUU, or old radios simply because I haven't had time to back up.
Any ideas before I do RUU?

I had the same issue today between 2 and 3, but it wasn't letting me send texts even though I could receive them. Maybe a network hiccup?
I am on stock radios, didn't know new ones came out. It is working for me now.

looks like we're in the same situation. I looked through the threads and this is another case of call errors. I found this thread and one other, not sure if it was droid dna related.

I had the same issue, actually was getting soft reboots upon receipt of an incoming call, happened to me after s-off. It took a bit of fiddling, but I finally got back up and running 100% by flashing stock kernel and a clean ROM install.

Basically I hd the same situation happen to myself, no calls or data but wifi was good. Mine started to fail slowly , firs \t it was showing a 1X connection but dl were about 3G speeds. Next I lost signals in areas I never had signal issues with. Then total loss. New sim card and spent hours on the support line and a replacement unit.
Got a PM request for assistance, and thought I don't have a lot of tips to offer other than what I provided before, I'm going to post a more detailed overview (as I remember it, it's been awhile...) in case it's helpful for any other who may come across it later. The bottom line for me was that once things broke, it didn't work again until I flashed stock kernel via fastboot +modules in recovery and did a clean install of Hatka 3.03 w/ Sense launcher. That said, because of my flashing compulsion and failure to fully test things once installed, I can't pinpoint the exact step at which things broke.
Initially, I: Bought phone and factory reset, did not take Verizon OTA. Fiddled around, hated Sense, unlocked, flashed recovery, flashed Viper 1.1.0 (?, whatever the base was), booted and setup, fiddled around, hated Sense, wiped data, flashed 3 subsequent Viper updates (1.1.1,2,3 maybe?), booted and setup, fiddled around, hated Sense. Wiped and reinstalled de-Sensed Viper a few times in an attempt to get rid of Sense as much as possible.
Then things get murky. I did s-off, and at some point flashed (recovery) a kernel, Cubed I think. Wifi or something was borked (as I understand is the case with Cubed/Viper), and I flashed stock kernel back via recovery (no modules, I didn't catch that part at the time) and restored my backup for good measure, leaving me on fully functional Viper 1.1.3. Everything worked for a few days, but I continued to hate Sense, and began searching for something more sensible. At some point I flashed Hatka 3.03 w/ de-Sensed options, went to 320 DPI, and thought everything was fine for about 18 hours until I realized my phone was warm, and figured out it was rebooting every time I received (or placed) an incoming call (boss was pissed and kept trying to call me, already gives me a hard time about being an Android fanboy so I'm never going to hear the end of that). After a few hours of fiddling and various recovery attempts including restores and full wipe/clean installs of Viper, I finally managed to get things up and running with A. flashing stock kernel via fastboot + modules in recovery and a full wipe/clean install of Hatka 3.03 w/ Sense + Xperia launchers and eventually a 380 DPI.
One of or some combination of the s-off/custom kernel/failure to reinstall stock kernel modules/de-Sensed/low DPI/pin lock/Widget Locker/Viper combo I had going fouled something up, which I know is not entirely helpful. If I found myself in this situation again, I would flash stock boot.img via fastboot + modules in recovery, and probably flash a stock ROM to rule out anything else, then wipe and flash things from there until I got where I wanted or it broke.
For the record, I'm now back on my Galaxy Nexus until stable-ish CM 10.1 is within sight or I get tired of waiting and sell the thing, I just can't tolerate Sense.
same issue
I've been reading wherever I see this topic and haven't found the answer that I'm looking for. Have tried everything said but nothing has fixed my problem can't make or receive calls. This problem happened after I turned s-off have relocked boot loader, flashed RUU, reset factory, re-unlocked bootloader, re-flashed different roms, and flashed radios still not working. No doubt it is a software issue. Does anyone know how to format internal storage on this phone. My thinking is if that can be done problem should go away and then can re-flash to stock. Any help would be most appreciated.

Have you tried fixing permissions? In some other post I read phone process force closing was just a matter of wrong permissions.
In other hand I think if you format system, data and cache the phone storage would just keep hboot and recovery; at that point you could only run RUU to stock or adb sideload from recovery if your CWM version has the feature.

Yes have fixed permissions. Also have formatted everything I could in CWM still have problem. Is there a way to format with ADB commands?

Lost radio after kernel install

So tonight I've run into an issue that confounds me. I am a veteran flasher of roms and kernals and never have I found myself so stuck.
I did the following:
1. I applied Facepalm S-Off to my phone earlier and it worked fine, data still worked.
2. I later went to flash Beastmode. I was running Cubed and forgot to reset to stock before flashing.
3. My phone wouldn't boot. So I flashed back Cubed with Fastboot, and the phone boots.
The issue is that now I have no radio. I see the Verizon Wireless on the lockscreen and there are bars on the top bar, however whenever I try to make a call, it says call ended unexpectedly (paraphrase) and whenever I send a text it says SMS Problems. I have wifi, but I need my phone to work as a phone! It also says "Preparing SIM" every few minutes. Any ideas what could be wrong here?
I am currently on NOS N7 with the included Beastmode Kernel.
Thank you in advance for helping me out! I'm a little lost here.
I really hate to bump things, but I need a phone that is... well a phone. If anyone can help that would be great. I am going to have to go to Verizon if not. I have reset everything including unlock flags to stock in preparation of that sad reality.

Return to lock using "fastboot oem lock"
Download HTC DROID DNA’s RUU.exe, this is a stock firmware by HTC, which contain radio, systems and bootloader.
make sure that your phone is being detected by your computer. then reboot it into bootloader. When you see Fastboot USB in the middle section run the ruu.exe on your computer.
This should repair bootloader and radios.

Thanks for your answer. I've tried return to stock with success and now my phone is in full stock state but it keeps showing preparing sim card every two or three minutes exactly as it was before. When I switch the phone to 2g the problem is gone, I bought this phone online and I'm a gsm user so I own the most expensive 2g phone in market.
Phone was perfectly working in all roms and almost every kernel, the problem came up just when I flashed beastmod 4.3 kernel then I went into bootloops and I flashed stock kernel and it booted since that I've been with this issue. I'm gonna try different sim cards because I don't believe this is a software issue anymore.

[Q] No Wifi on BadSeed Tranquil DNA?

I very thoroughly apologize if this has been asked and discussed before, but apparently my search skills aren't the best. Anywho, her's the issue.
I've used a number of different ROM's since I first got my DNA back in January. I've used older Tranquil releases. But anything after 2.1 I believe it was, I haven't had WiFi. I have it just fine with all other ROM's. But no matter what I do for Tranquil (even up to and including RLS 4.2), there's no WiFi connection. It says it's trying to find sources or something and eventually errors out. I have no idea what the problem is. If I go back to 2.1 or 2.0, WiFi works great. This kind of sucks as I really enjoyed the earlier Tranquil releases and would like to continue using them. I'm currently using NOS m7's latest release for 4.1.2 (couldn't get their 4.2.2 release to work for some reason, just sat at the HTC screen for over 30 minutes, even after wiping the entire phone and attempting to sideload).
Anyway, if someone can tell me how to get WiFi to work on Tranquil releases after 2.1, that would be awesome. And again, I apologize if this has been covered before. I tried posting in the official thread but my lack of post count keeps me from doing so.

I've used this same cord to ADB push and sideload while in Recovery before. Plus it reads just fine when the phone is on as normal. Wouldn't that make it fine? (Note: Not being sarcastic or anything, genuine question. I know how things can be misinterpreted over the 'net so I kinda like to point out how I mean things.)
Edit: I got it to work so far. I'm reflashing back to complete stock now. Apparently a driver wasn't installed for it to be detected in Fastboot. I'll post back after I get back to stock, completely update to newest, and reflash Tranquil RLS4.2.
So I got everything installed, running again, latest updates, reunlocked, TWRP back on, flashed RLS 4.2... No WiFi still... What am I doing wrong here?
Edit: NOS M7 3.0.4 is doing the same thing it was before, also. It's not even getting passed the HTC screen, no matter how long I let it sit. This is quite frustrating. I put M7 2.0.3 back on and everything works as it should. Anyone have an possible solutions?
Do you upgrade your firmware?

Other than being rooted with the custom ROM, it's whatever the normal S is (can't remember off the top of my head). I rooted and tried the Moonshine thing but it never took (on stock 2.06) so I just went through and reunlocked with my original packet from the HTCDEV website and went about things that way.
Ok, it's an easy fix. When you flash from recovery you are getting the rom, but not the kernel information. I assume you've probably been having bad battery life also. The only way to falsh a kernal s-on is with adb push, or with a hboot flashable where it goes all the way back to the white screen. if you download the all in one kit I think you can use that to push a kernel easily. I can never remember the adb commands. I think they suggest beaups kernel for that rom. Go ahead and download the two, and pm me if you need any more instruction.

The only way to falsh a kernal s-on is with adb push, or with a hboot flashable where it goes all the way back to the white screen. if you download the all in one kit I think you can use that to push a kernel easily. I can never remember the adb commands. I think they suggest beaups kernel for that rom. Go ahead and download the two, and pm me if you need any more instruction.

You're right. My battery life has been absolutely terrible. I can get maybe 6-8 hours until I'm at 30% or under, and that's not doing anything. Much less if I actually want to do anything with the phone. I'll give those two links a look. Thanks. :good:
Edit: So, I've noticed it's now S-On and the kernel isn't showing on the device. I copied the .zip over to the main directory where I always do, and it's not showing on the phone. But it shows just fine in Windows.
Edit again: Got it to flash using Sideload. Before I do anything else, is it okay to now flash RLS4.2 and see if WiFi works? Now that that's on there, it should be good, right? Or do I need to flash RLS4.2 and then reflash this kernal?
Yet another Edit: It took me a while, but I noticed a LOT of things were missing on the phone after flashing the 2.06 kernel. The one that made me notice was FaceBook. And Google Play Store wasn't there anymore, either. I've reflashed to Digital Dream 2.2 and everything is back to normal. This is really frustrating.
Pm me when you're working on this again I think there are a couple things that are confusing.

I finally got it to connect.
I was running DigitalDream 2.2 while trying to figure this all out. I ended up getting S-Off and reflashing. For me to S-Off while already on DigitalDream 2.2, I used the first part of the Mooshine Method (downloading their 2.06firmware zip file, flashing that, rebooting) then used the FacePalm method. That successfully got me S-Off. I noticed that even on DG2.2 after that, I had no WiFi. So I decided to try flashing Tranquil 4.2 and now I have WiFi working. Hope this helps anyone that has the same issue I did.

Random restarts on custom roms?

Just got s-off on my DNA but installing a custom Rom makes the phone randomly freeze and reboot. Tried CM11, carbon, and a few others. The time before restarting varies wildly from 10 seconds after boot to 20-30 minutes. It seems more frequent when the screen is on or when plugged into my PC but I could just be imagining things or could be coincidence.
I have flashed and rommed many phones over the years and this one really has me stumped.
I cleared the cache and dalvik and formatted the system partition before installing the Rom and gapps. I have tried multiple roms and multiple versions of gapps as well with no luck. I have superCID of 11111111 from the original unlock process if that makes any difference. I have currently RUUd back to 3.06 for now and it seems perfectly stable on the stock Rom. Any help would be appreciated!

check my thread in the same section, mine started doing this two nights ago. I don't know why it started, my phone was fine prior to this. I did nothing to it, had been running Venom for a while, and two nights ago it started rebooting randomly and wildly. I have switched ROMs twice since then and it has not stopped. Like you said, it tends to be when the screen is on or gets plugged up. But unfortunately mine is doing it a lot on answering phone calls. I don't know if we are having same issure or what.
Possibly

I don't know if we are having the same issue it may be that we are though. I am on stock 3.06 not one reboot since I went to work this morning. Get home, install the newest twrp (it is removed in the RUU process), install cm11 snapshot m5, and the appropriate gapps. I got through setup to the point of adding my gmail and it froze and rebooted. I tried cwm recovery too but it made zero difference
TBH my screen is shattered really bad and I was going to replace it but I don't want to if I have to run stock roms forever. I was running one of the original Venom roms before s-off was possible, but then I broke the screen and switched back to my droid bionic but now I can afford the new LCD so I want to get this one running

Did you use the proper recovery stated in the thread to flash the rom, have you installed any new apps recently? Does it happen when you run the phone in safemode? Have you tried Performing an RUU and the unlocking and installing a custom rom again?
Did all that

I have done all of that stuff multiple times
I haven't installed any apps at all on it. This phone is basically brand new, I got it right when they launched. I shattered the screen like 3 days after I got it, and tucked it in a drawer. It has been sitting there ever since.
I have another piece to add to the puzzle. While it has the stock ROM installed it seems to get service and work just fine, but when I install the custom ROMS it has absolutely zero cell connectivity (though WiFi works fine.)
Going into the settings reveals that on the custom roms it shows the IMEI and MEID as Unknown, and the ICCID is listed as Unknown as well. If I try to change the network mode (to LTE/CDMA or any one of the many available options) it says com.phone has crashed.
After the RUU process I have my proper MEID and ICCID showing in the settings panel, and service returns.
Can't flash radio?
After discovering the issues with the service while on custom ROMS I wondered if the radio had something wrong with it.
I tried to manually reflash the radio via fastboot (fastboot flash radio radio.img).
I tried this both in standard fastboot as well as in the rebootRUU mode, but both times I get an error that says remote not allowed. Could my bootloader somehow still be locked? The flag in bootloader mode says "Unlocked" but I unlocked manually after obtaining s-off rather than doing it officially via HTCdev. just trying to explore all options
My phone did that at one point. I had to re-lock and RUU back to 100% stock. I then unlocked my phone with Rumrunner S-Off tool. Flashed a Sense 6 ROM and has been working fine since.
Fixed!
So this problem is fixed!! I am not 100% sure what did the trick, so I will post my solution here in case anybody else experiences a similar issue. I won't go into too much detail with these instructions as all the tools are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740
I first downgraded to the 1.15 hboot and radio. I had to rebootRUU and flash them there as it can't be done directly in fastboot as far as I know.
Do them one at a time (flash the hboot, then reboot-bootloader, then rebootRUU then flash the radio, then reboot bootloader again.)
After doing this I tried to run the RUU exe but it came up with an error that it could not update my phone, so I did the manual Alt 3.06 RUU.
This seemed to work great, restarted the phone and saw the stock rom. I then changed from superCID 11111111 back to the stock CID, relocked my bootloader went back to s-on status. At this point I ran the RUU.exe again just to make sure everything was as stock as could be.
Got that all finished, ran RumRunner again, installed CM11 and no reboot for nearly 24 hours. Pretty sure all is well!

Good news and bad news. The good news is for you!!! I think I figured out what the problem was. It seems to be an issue either with using an older radio, or an older hboot on a newer ROM. I don't know why exactly, but the RUU process was not properly updating my radios. This may be because I ran an RUU while unlocked at one point (every guide I see is very adamant about relocking before the RUU process.)
The bad news is that I ordered a new LCD for my DNA, and I ruined my phone trying to do the repairs. It is by FAR the worst phone I have ever had to work on. I have replaced LCD's in Galaxy devices, Iphones/ipod touches, laptops, TV's, and one in a smartwatch and have never hurt a thing. Got my DNA back together and it flat out wont turn on I don't know what the problem is, but something is fried. Hope you have better luck than me!
