[Q] Stuck in a bootloop

52me52 · Mar 17, 2014

Hi everyone,

I have my AT&T HTC One that's stuck in a bootloop due to me flashing a ROM (ARHD). I did not notice I still had S-On (S-Off is needed to flash the ROM) and now stuck in a loop. I can access recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3) but sideload just stays at the message that's says its starting.
Bootloader is also accessible, I have all my adb files and fastboot files. I just want to get back to stock 4.3 or 4.4.2, or even a custom rom if it'll work.

Here are my vars:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.56.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4T.24.3218.09
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 4.20.502.1
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) serialno:
(bootloader) product: m7_ul
(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064
(bootloader) modelid: PN0712000
(bootloader) cidnum: CWS__001
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 4322mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-c6bbb6d4
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
finished. total time: 0.069s

Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Managed to get sideload working, just opened cmd and had the TWRP running sideload, but it was stuck at the words starting so I checked for devices and found it. sideloaded stock AT&t rooted ROM by dark 2099 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2676986) and still bootlooping after wiping caches and factory reset.

EDIT2: Sideloaded the ROM again now not bootlooping but stuck at HTC logo, still can use recovery and bootloader.

Edit your post to remove the serial no and IMEI

Try fastboot erase cache from fastboot USB (bootloader)

And how did you get to version-main: 4.20.502.1 ?

Hoping to hear from you, saw you in other Q&A posts!
I tried that fastboot erase cache still same thing. Any help is appreciated, hopefully I can get this done today it's my dad's.
EDIT: thinking about using an RUU but method would I take? .exe or .zip? I tried using an RUU and it failed and gave me that somehow. .exe RUU btw.
EDIT: the RUU is called elevate-RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_Cingular_US_4.18.502.7_R10_Radio_4T.24.3218.09_10.26.1718.01L_release_356565_signed_2

It's my link from the post above your last one: http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=M7
I never check the MD5 because I never had a problem until now.

What would you recommend at this point?

I came across this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
I scrolled down to return to stock and pressed the first link for RUUs here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2194707
pressed m7 and got the page of the RUUs.

The main version I don't really know, I ran it and it failed and when I redid the 'fastboot getvar all' I saw it. Thanks for all your help.

Ok well it appears to be a Real RUU
but the MD5 failed - means it's corrupt

can you md5 check your file and compare it to mine ?

this is the md5 on the download page
fdbaccdda9519a321059b02e2dec49b2

ok well lets try and get your phone working

flash this stock recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rns2nj5hn7lwjln/recovery.img

then do a factory reset from the bootloader
I'll post more here while your do that...

Next step is redownload TWRP from here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
and md5 check it
then flash it

and redownload My Rom here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407576941
again md5 check it and sideload it

did you flash the stock recovery and do the factory reset ?

did the phone try and boot up ?
first boot will sometimes take 5 - 7 min on the HTC logo

Did that and stays on the logo, going to flash your rom now.
I got a bad md5, do I pick a mirror to download?

just don't forget everytime you flash a recovery to erase cache

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

and in TWRP when you do factory reset
clear delvic and cache also
not sdcard
