HTC ONE softbricked flashing wrong firmware

dogmatism · Feb 19, 2014

I am creating this thread as suggested by @nkk71 to solve a softbricked HTC ONE. I usually deal with samsung and Sony androids so this is to find community help.

Issue, I have recently received an HTC ONE which has been rooted, TWRP installed and was S-ON. The baseband was lost, with 4.4.2 verizone version flashed.

Here are the details:

Some initial remarks from @nkk71 :

1- radio is a CDMA version (from the looks of it)
2- version-main is missing
3- the device is now S-ON, very likely it was S-OFF at one point, and s(he) went S-On because of panic (which was probably the worst idea ever)

---
Notes:
I did re-flash CWM touch and also flashed a CWM flashable stock ROM

Code:

Stock_Rooted_4.4.2_KOT49H.H1_Odex.zip

I also relocked the boot (as seen in the pic, to hopefully flash a stock RUU

Current status:
The phone boots
I can also access the OS fully load but reboot just about a second or two on home screen.

Sooner or later, you're going to need to S-Off the device, if you want to return it to stock (whatever that was

), but for that you'll need a functioning ROM.

Since you're relocked at the moment, let's try flashing a GPE firmware,

so get 3.06.1700.10 (let's try with lowest version first), from here: http://xda7.androidrevolution.nl/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/1700/

then in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 3.06.1700.10.zip
fastboot flash zip 3.06.1700.10.zip <- yes twice
fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot getvar all

copy/paste the command prompt output of all the above commands.

EDIT: or you can try this ruu.zip https://mega.co.nz/#!3cwxzAoR!cNNlvVTqzO1wTnmZLytV2mIHtrtOOFXGMyMQjH-KsIo
(though I don't know if that's signed, I don't think so)

can you still unlock bootloader? (fastboot oem unlock)

dogmatism · Feb 19, 2014

Yeah I can log in the bootloader fastboot etc.

1- can you UNLOCK bootloader? not log it.
if you have a GPE version, then issue a "fastboot oem unlock"

2- what ROM are you on? thread please.

dogmatism · Feb 19, 2014

Sorry for late replies, am driving home,

Yes its unlocked now, with that command.

states,

tampered

as expected for (newer) GPE ROMs

-S-Off is required

are you online now? and ready to give this some time? otherwise, just keep bootloader unlocked, and we'll do it some other time...

dogmatism · Feb 19, 2014

Sorry. Am at home. My home connection is slower so would b a pain to download roms if necessary. Would continue tomorrow hopefully. Should have enough time to tackle. Thanks @nkk71

Besides I have placed it on charge.

well how to proceed?

dogmatism said:

1- if i remember correctly, last PM was to get a functioning ROM, do you have one?

2- if yes -> are you S-Off, yet?

3-
I'm not sure if this is you day job, but it's not mine
i just do this to help out
so if you're going to come back in 3 days with "how to proceed" (no status update, no nothing)
and actually expect an answer

if you want help, that's fine, myself and many others are helping out plenty, but do you expect us to be sitting and waiting for your post

dogmatism · Feb 25, 2014

@nkk71 yes I am now s-off via rumrunner, and on this ROM, InsertCoin 5.0-1

So first after relocked and I flashed, RUU 3.06.1700.10
Flashed latest CWM touch
and then flashed the rom, insertcoin-htc-one-v3-0-5-googleedition-android-4-3

I regained baseband with successful flash.

then I updated to 4.4.2 rom, InsertCoin 5.0-1
