Q/A:
Q: Is QuickCharge 3.0 working with every charger if I downgrade to Marshmallow?
A: Can't test it since i only have the original charger. If Asus disabled it with Nougat it should work, because we will replace every essential system file on the phone. But maybe it never worked with other chargers.
Q: Links would make this tutorial easier/where are the links Today the needed files and/or how can i install ADB?
A: Links are missing on purpose. I want you to go read and research for yourself since an user mistake (flashing wrong files...) will brick the device.
Q: Is there an easier way?
A: Yes. You could write a batch File with the commands Inside. But without error detection there would be a risk of bricking.
Maybe you could just delete the system directory and just flash the bootloader and recovery and copy the rom in the sd-card and update from stock recovery (not tested!!)
Warning!
Always have your original firmware, recovery and boot files in case things don't go as expected
Backup your personal data!
PLEASE MAKE SURE you are using the respective files for your CPU (ZS570KL SD820 2.15Ghz - ZS570KL PRO SD821 2.3GHz)
Prerequisites
- Adb and Fastboot installed and working
- Python 2.X or 3.X installed.
- WW target firmware. You can download it from the ASUS official website
- sdat2simg toolkit
Guide
1. Extract the sdat2simg toolkit
2. Extract system files from firmware
Open the firmware zip and extract system.new.dat and system.transfer.list into the input folder.
3. Run sdat2simg
The tool will first convert the system.new.dat and system.transfer.list into a raw ext4 image, then it will be converted into a sparse flashable image.
4.Put the phone in fastboot mode and run following commands (if done and no error happens, fastboot will will output "OKAY":
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash modem firmware-update NON-HLOS.bin
Code:
fastboot flash dsp firmware-update/adspso.bin
Code:
fastboot flash cmnlib firmware-update/cmnlib.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash cmnlib64 firmware-update/cmnlib64.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash devcfg firmware-update/devcfg.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash aboot firmware-update/emmc_appsboot.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash hyp firmware-update/hyp.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash keymaster firmware-update/keymaster.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash rpm firmware-update/rpm.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash tz firmware-update/tz.mbn
Code:
fastboot flash pmic firmware-update/pmic.elf
Code:
fastboot flash xbl firmware-update/xbl.elf
Code:
fastboot flash mdtp firmware-update/mdtp.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
5. Reboot and enjoy.
Since this is my first tutorial here, feedback is appreciated an will lead Today better future postings.
Hi.Thanks for our guide.
As I updated to Oreo but I'm experiencing dramatic battery drain, your procedure is applicable also to downgrade from Oreo 8.0 back to Nougat? Thanks in advance.
Yes it doesn't matter in which firmware you start or end as long as the bootloader is unlocked. The way is the same.
Please triple check you downloaded the files suitable for your phone (2.4ghz vs 2.15ghz) so you don't accidentally brick it.
do you know how to check my variant? because my Z016D stuck at fastboot mode, bootloader is locked, hang on ASUS logo can't get into menu, i got these infos from running fastboot getvar all

screen size is 5.7 inch
i need to flash stock firmware, if the bootloader is locked, will it be possible to push stock firmware to the internal storage and flash it using fasboot command?
thanks for helping me out...
the reason i stuck on ASUS screen is because i use fastboot command to flash this file UL-Z016_1-WW-5.14.44.2096-user.zip (the flashing process failed at start)
without realising there is 3 or 4 variants of this Z016D
You have zs570kl 2.15 ghz version. (Cpu 8996).
With locked bootloader you can only use same or newer rom to flash. Downgrading will fail.
There is a new downgrade thread with qfil tools and raw firmware. This should work even when locked (didn't try myself).
followed your process, after reboot android prompts for password. tried everything i could think of and nothing. won't boot into fastboot and no recovery installed anymore (twrp before). zs570kl unlocked and was attempting to downgrade to UL-Z016-WW-4.12.40.1698-user. was on oreo prior.
I can think of two things (if you flashed the right files and got no errors):
1. Your userdata (sd-card) is encrypted and after the downgrade it needs to be decrypted. Passwort is unfortunately not necessary the same as the google password.
2. Your device is FRP protected. You will need Today enter the google account details which where on the phone before.
Please add a screenshot of the password prompt so we can check.
Your device is not lost since you can just restore the factory raw rom (see other threads here about locking bootloader) with qfil. Don't know if it will reset frp. If this phone isn't yours you may be out of luck because it would still ask for a password.

If your device version is matched in the OP, the answer is YES. Flash firmware.zip in RUU.
I have supercid, this firmware only update hboot and radio, no?

This firmware.zip will update/replace recovery, hboot, boot.img, and radio.img
After flash firmware.zip in RUU,
1. You need to reboot.
2. Reflash custom recovery.
3. Dirty flash your current custom rom
4. Profit!
Your supercid will be replace with stock hboot CID. Redo step to get supercid after flash
Intl hboot 3.14.707.3 no red text modified
You must be S-Off to do this! This one's for International variant only
I can not be held responsible for this zip please flash at your own risk!!
Place the zip in your adb/ fastboot directory on your computer
Put the device in fastboot mode and connect to the computer
Enter the following commands from cmd from the adb/ fastboot directory:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 3.14.707.3_NoRedText_hboot.zip
Note: The progress on the screen may not fully 100% but it's normal. but make sure it's writen "successfully" on the cmd windows on your PC

That's weird, should not be any problem if your device is matched version in the OP because I have no problem flashing firmware. Hardly say that your device bricked. I don't know how to help in this case, try search forum if any helpful thread regarding recover bricked.
can anyone help me with qhsusb_dload?

Don't intend to mess this up, but when you hold vol up + power buttons for tens of seconds did you see the capacitive buttons blink a few times?
If so, then you can wait until it stops blinking (should be about 5-8x blinking) and quickly release both vol up and power buttons, then hold vol down for a few seconds then release it. it should bring you to HBOOT mode.
This worked for me when I thought I had bricked my One max from accidental build.prop modification (changed the value and forgot to set correct permission).
If holding vol up + power does not make the capacitive buttons blink a few times, then sadly it could be a hard brick.
captative buttons arent on when i used vol up + power. Hardbrick
Updated
OP updated with latest [Stock Backup TWRP - International | Unrooted | Sense6 | 3.14.707.3]
Startet Flash of Firmware. And my Phone switched off by itself. Windows now detect qhsusb_dload and nothing more is working I have now the same Problem like Winins. I have a international Version of the One Max Modellid and all other things matched. Is not my First Phone from Htc that i flash i am sure i did nothing wrong and now i Have a brick wow. Hopfully my waranty will help me out of this Problem. Or can i do anything now. I found some people with same Problem but with other HTC devices and there exist a fix but i don´t know if these fixes will work with One Max.

Oh man.. I hate to see this happen. The flash report says, "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)" . Did you flash it again? When it does say "Failed", you should re-flash it immediately. When it says "Okay", that's the real Okay and good to reboot. The most important, device must be S-OFF. I have done it for my friends, 4 One Max devices, no problem at all. Sigh. I'm just sharing the OTA since few people PM me for it.
OP update with sense5.5 [2.61.707.1] stock twrp backup
I have AT& T HTC One M7 (unlocked is displayed in HBOOT). It had crashed once before but I was able to get it back up and running using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/bricked-htc-one-m7-attempting-to-t2856447
But now it has crashed/bricked again and even after following the same steps, I am unable to get it up and running.

Download the stock 5.12.502.2 recovery and place in your adb/fastboot folder.
Boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery 5.12.502.2.recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Boot into Recovery and perform a factory reset
Reboot back to bootloader
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
I would stick with the Guru Reset it can be done in TWRP. If the stock Recovery does not do the trick, then you could try the stock firmware. You will have to relock your bootloader before you can flash it.
Well.. I am clueless now

To be precise the issue now I am running into is no matter what I tried all installations show up as successful but then on reboot phone gets in bootloop (it comes up fine until HTC beatsaudio screen and reboots again). Any thoughts/ideas?

After you ran the stock firmware or Guru Reset did you try to boot into system? If you didn't then you need to see if that fixed your issue. It might be ViperOne causing the issue with a bad boot.img. You can check the firmware to see if it has a boot.img in the zip. Just open the zip and look to see if there is a boot.img.

Yes.. I do see the boot. img in the Guru Reset; however, for some reason I am unable to open the firmware zip. I guess I am going to try flashing guru reset without firmware. Another question I had was about "You will have to relock your bootloader before you can flash it." I am trying to flash it leaving bootloader unlocked. Could that be the problem. If yes, can you please please give me the exact sequence I need to follow before flash and after copying Guru Reset to device. (I am using adb push for the same).

If you are flashing the firmware, then you have to lock your bootloader since you are S-ON. Here is how you would flash the firmware.
Code:
[B][I]adb reboot bootloader[/I][/B]
After that, type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then, type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

You will have to unlock your bootloader before you push Guru Reset to your phone. If you have your old Unlock_code.bin you might try it first, if it fails use the whole procedure:
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

If you are flashing the firmware, then you have to lock your bootloader since you are S-ON. Here is how you would flash the firmware.
You will have to unlock your bootloader before you push Guru Reset to your phone. If you have your old Unlock_code.bin you might try it first, if it fails use the whole procedure:

I tried all the steps and see a little progress.. now my phone keeps rebooting on HTC beatsaudio screen. The sequence I followed was as below:
1. Unlocked the device with unlock bin from HTCdev and rebooted in bootloader (Shows as unlocked and tampered).
2. Pushed TWRP and Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA
3. Installed Guru_Reset_M7_5.12.502.2_clsA using install from TWRP.
4. Checked if the phone is up and running on reboot --> No luck (rebooting on HTC beatsaudio screen)
5. Rebooted phone again in bootloader.
6. Locked the device (fastboot oem lock) . At this step got an error on last line "too many links"
7. fastboot oem rebootRUU (got the silver screen)
8. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (twice) waited for about a minute after getting confirmation in command prompt.
9. fastboot reboot
I believe I am not doing anything wrong. It is really frustrating now since everyone is sending me birthday wishes today on phone and I am unable to see any :crying:

Since the last thing you flashed was the stock firmware, boot into Stock Recovery and do a factory reset then reboot back to bootloader. Install TWRP and if the Guru Reset is still on your phone then flash it. If not, then push it to your phone like before. Hopefully, the factory reset in Recovery will clean out any outstanding issues.
Moved on to M8.. but still like to fix m7
Unfortunately none of the above steps worked hence I decided to move on with M8. However now that I have a working phone (M8) I am open to experiment with my M7.
Yesterday I tried restoring M7 nandroid backup from HTC guru and had some luck. But I guess I downloaded an older version of nandroid backup. So two questions:
1. Can anyone point me to correct version of nandroid backup that I can restore. (Phone is unlocked, S-On and not rooted. If I need to root it then I will need some guidance).
2. Any other method you guys can suggest to get the phone up and running again.

@clsA.. tried installing new rom you mentioned but no luck and it's back to bootloop from HTC screen. I am now thinking to restore your nandroid backup and look into build.prop. In one of the readings I came across this command which I believe is for getting usb debugging enabled.
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 1
start adbd
I am thinking to boot in twrp and run above command in adb shell. If successful then I think I can try rumrunner or firewater to s-off the phone... Totally frustrated now.. I have no idea why nothing is working on this phone.
USB Debugging ON now

@clsA... after some more research I found a way to enable USB debugging so steps I followed were:
1. Restored nandroid backup you mentioned in above post.
2. Modified build.prop and default.prop from PC and pushed them back in /system and / respectively.
3. I can now see usb debugging enabled in the home screen.
Only issue I am facing now is even after factory reset phone goes in bootloop from home screen (home screen always remains locked). Any thoughts?
If I somehow get S-Off by rumrunner or firewater would I have more options?
Hi
My fone htc one m8 es rooted and i want to go back my stock plz halp
I try rru img fil but error 130 bootloader also lock and (s-on )
Error 130 means you aren't using the right RUU. You have to use one that is specific to your carrier or region and must be the same version or newer. You can not downgrade while S-On.
htc on m8
I am use version4.28.502.1 dame error come
How i unroot my htc one m8 mey region asia
4.28.502.1 is the RUU you are trying to use? That appears to be one for ATT, which is an American cellular service provider. You should be able to find something here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
htc on m8 how unroot and delete supersu
how unroot and delete supersu i am not able to find my htc one m8 arabic version

I can't guess which update you need. Since you don't know, the best way is to boot to the bootloader and use fastboot (if you don't have it, Google : Minimal ADB and Fastboot). Once in bootloader use the terminal or command prompt to enter : fastboot getvar all. Copy and paste results here and leave out your IMEI and serial number for security's sake.

You must relock your bootloader since you are S-On. In bootloader, use fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
How to s-off and plz tel me how to install ruu zip file

S-Off might not be the best idea for someone who isn't comfortable with how to search for information on XDA or Google. Double click the RUU exe and follow directions. S-Off can be achieved with Sunshine. It is a paid app. There are no free solutions anymore.

Sorry, didn't realize it was actually the zip as most RUUs are exes. To load the RUU zips you have to boot to the special fastboot screen by using the command:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
then flash the rom zip like you were trying. It might fail after the bootloader, which is common, you just need to immediately redo the command and it should go through.
no dear same error
Is the zip in the same folder where you are running the commands?
Yas zip is same folder
Hi there!
It's been a couple of hours I pass trying to install a new Rom on my Oneplus X.
First thing I do was to return it Stock and install OOS at last update to have the last firmware.
I've unlock the bootloader, do the OEM unlock thing, I flash the recovery to TWRP 3.2.1.0 (it was a pain in the ass to do.... don't know exactly why)
As I had difficulties installing the TWRP, I install the OPXBLUpdateOOS3.1.zip which help me installing the recovery
I ran this command to be sure it is unlock
PS C:\adb> fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
(bootloader) console_enabled: 0
(bootloader) exec_console_unconsole: 0
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.011s
And than, I try to install roms with TWRP... I select my Rom (I want to install Oreo from AOSPA, but I also try Lineage 14 and Cyanogen 13 which was the one I had before)
I always got this error :
Checking for Digest files
Skipping Digest check: no digest file found
And than, the recovery reboot...
What have I done wrong? What can I do now to install at least android N ?
What twrp are you using? Flash the latest official or the one by CheckYourScreen. It's under original android development forum. It looks more like an issue with twrp than from the zip files.
i am having the same problem with latest twrp
Try using the 3.2.3-0 TWRP recovery bcoz everything you mentioned which you did seems to be correct. So try the TWRP 3.2.3-0 and report back.
I have the same issue with the latest twrp: 3.2.3-0 on samsung galaxy a5 2016. Can't install an official ROM from sammobile.
I have the same message on Note 4 but it doesn't affect installation. I just ignore it.
I have the same fcking issue with missing digest fcking ****. I can't flash the Magisk more SuperSU. **** off!
I had problem in flashing ROM file in Samsung galaxy grand 2 .the error says "No digest file found "and "zip is corrupt" .pls help me to resolve the issue
I am facing the same problem. No digest file found!

I just had this with my S5 Plus on 323 , I downgraded twrp and voila ..fixed roms that ended with (no rom installed are you sure you want to reboot?) are working perfectly !!!
good evening
Help solve the problem.
Watch A1612, there was a customized firmware with a Russian.
I tried to roll it 2,8,0,5 did not work, the clock just does not start, an eternal reboot.
I tried to roll back to 1.3.0n by the instructions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/tutorial-unbrick-huami-amazfit-t3547300
The firmware was installed, when trying to update on OTA to 1.3.8a immediately after the reboot I receive an inscription on the screen "ERROR" and an exclamation mark.
Help me please.

Try this if you are on Windows:
Code:
adb wait-for-device & adb reboot wipe
or this on Linux/macOS:
Code:
adb wait-for-device; adb reboot wipe
If you still cannot boot, I suggest and you use the code I gave you before to fully erase data on watch, then use the unbrick tutorial but flash an old firmware like 1.3.0 first, then try to boot watch.
Could you please help me to find right instruction and rom package?
