Dear XDA,

I wanted to update my HTC One to Revolution HD. But there where some requirements before i could install that. Like updating the firmware and installing TWRP recovery. I needed to RELOCK my phone in order to update my firmware. So i did that using a tutorial. After that i only had to push the RUU and i would be back @ stock. And then i could flash Revolution HD to get 4.4!

But!... it went horribly wrong. As of right now, i can only enter fastboot. I cannot enter recovery, and there is no Android installed, so basically i'm screwed.

I do have some flashing experience and I'm not a complete newb, but this is out of my league. Perhaps there are some nice persons here that could help me out. I will try to summarise my phone settings:

My current settings in Fastboot:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
May 3 2013,17:22:59:-1



CID: HTC_E11
MID: PN0710000



I have a nandroidback, but i can't get into recovery. I tried using ADB but my device is not recognised.... I get the feeling that S-ON needs to change to S-OFF. But if i use a toolkit (from Squabbi) i can't get my device S-OFF (device not recognised..).


As of right now, I'm sitting with my hands in my hair thinking i bricked my phone.


If someone could help me, you would save my day.

Your phone is basically still stock andriod version 4.1.2
(this is good you can s-off pretty easy)

what RUU were you going to flash ?

this is the version of recovery you need
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul

download it and put it in your fastboot folder
then to flash it:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7ul.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

now you can enter recovery correct ?

Unlocked my phone, and gonna flash the recovery aswell!

But to not make the same mistake twice. What is the best way to update my phone to 4.4?

I wanted to install Revolution HD. But maybe you have a better alternative?

ARHD is great .. I also use ViperOne
just use the sideload feature in twrp being your phone is wiped

Quote:
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload name_of_rom.zip

or

adb push Rom.zip /data/media/0/

I will get s-off through the HTC One All in one toolkit. But on the ARHD topic, this was posted aswell:

You need:
HTC One unlocked with htcdev.com (S-ON) or S-OFF
Custom recovery
Firmware package from here (recommended but not needed for now)
Read this flashing guide - [GUIDE] Complete Flashing Guide | Rooting | Going Back To Stock


So i tried to get the latest firmware, and that's where the problems started. But shouldn't it be better to have the latest firmware? I mean it stands there for a reason, right? Or am I wrong?

Anyway, i will try ARHD for now, it looks nice :)


Thanks again!
