Hi Guys,
I bought HTC one from Ebay, which was suppose to be Europe version but turns out to be HK version with OS - 2.24.708.4. OTA was not able to install with red triangle error in recovery, after some search i found out that the CID number must be tempered, and i saw that it is 11111 with S-off though it showing to be LOCKED. Which means i can install any custom ROM. I want to have 4.4 with sense 6, So i unlocked flashed twrp 2.6.3 and rooted. I downloaded Android revolution custom ROM (for international version) and flashed it. But afterwards the phone is in bootloop. I can load bootloader and use fastboot along with twrp. But i can't see anything in /sdcard, so data mount is not working it seems. There is no nandroid backup (my mistake :( ). I repeated the unlock/rooting process when the phone went in bootloop, that might have messed up with sdacrd access, as I flashed revolution rom from there only.

I am aware that by flashing RUU i can get back to stock, but I cant find any RUU for this particular baseband and HBOOT, if yes please let know what should be the closest RUU for this version ? If RUU is not the option, what should i do now ?

Current situation: NO ROM installed, only access to bootloader (fastboot) and recovery with no sdcard mounted.

Also, even though i rooted properly, i cant see "TEMPERED" in the bootloader.


CID-111111
HBOOT - 1.54
OS-2.24.708.4
RADIO 4A.18.3250.15

Additonal info

Attached image above it before Unlocking, after unlcoking and flashing recovery it just says unlcoked, rest everything remains same. I also tried sideloading with adb, the device is recognized in adb but i can't send big files, my system is frozen after running the command. But when i send a test file, it is sideloaded quickly.

Can anyone suggest, which ROM to sideload which will be compatible with my device ??

you need twrp 2.6.3.3 to flash arhd rom, will not work with 2.6.3.0.

if you want the phone to be European version use a WWE ruu (.401 version)

change cid and mid to match the .401 ruu
then flash the ruu.
stay s-off and unlocked.

if you want to use ruu, you must make sure both cid and mid match the ruu you want to use. If you want to use custom rom, no need to tamper with these. You might want to take a look at arhd 71.1 or viperone, these are very good roms, always up to date (even much faster update then the official roms)

But can i do it without flashing RUU now, as adb sideload is freezing my PC and sdcard is not showing mounted in recovery. Not sure if i flash twrp 2.6.3.3 will show my sdcard as I have the ARHD downloaded there.

Thanks for your patience friend, I am on steep learning curve since yesterday.

I can't change mid now, as data mount is failing, saying 0 internal storage, what to do now ?

Other issue is the MID as per Getvar all is "PN071****" , how come it is like this ? can't find this issue anywhere

Please help I have the RUU but its failing may be becuase of MID, if i remain supercid, i guess i can still flash but may be MID is creating issues here. How to change the mID ?
Also, since data mount is failing adb is not worling properly, it was working till yesterday.

Hi Yatin,
I got original recovery but not original stock ROM, so I am still in a fix.:rolleyes: Now i can see internal storage if I flash twrp 2.6.3.3., but it seems all the files has been wiped or formatted, ARHD rom file is not available. Also, adb sideload is not working. MID change is the most important now. I dont know how MID is with asteriks. I guess becuase of MID no RUU can be installed. I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU for sending OTA ROM, but it is now in bootloop again.

If you can PM me your phone number, i would call for some understanding. Thanks for your time.


Please PM me your phone number, if that is possible.

MID with the 4 astrix is super MID, I had the option to have my phone changed to that when I had my phone s-off'd

Have you tried to use adb push instead of sideload ?
as there is no 708 ruu available for your phone you will have to use a custom rom.

put the rom in your adb/fastboot folder on your computer and rename it to rom.zip

plug your phone into the computer and boot it into recovery (main screen only)

open a command prompt on your computer inside the adb/fastbootfolder, (control + shift + right mouse click, open command window here)

then type adb push rom.zip /sdcard/

it will take a while so be patient, the command window will let you know when it is done.

Since you are S-Off, use a custom recovery masked in a firwmare package: you can use of these "firmware" packages (m7_u/ul only):
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13085

in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fw_m7ul_TWRP_2.6.3.3_1.26.401.33.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader

-> enter RECOVERY (should be TWRP or CWM now)

and use scotty1223's commands in custom recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475914 to unlock bootloader


Code: 
C:\ADB3>[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb devices[/COLOR][/B]

^^ if this doesn't work in your particular version, 
   just select reboot to bootloader in TWRP.


ps: your version-main will now say 1.26.401.33 (reflecting the recovery version 2.6.3.3); it didn't actually change, but version-main always shows the last thing flashed in ruu mode.
.


Also, there's no need to relock bootloader for RUU flashing when you are S-Off.

Do not ever go S-ON!!

Thanks nkk7, for your timely advise, device is now back to unlocked.

Yatin,
Using adb push, I am able to get the ARHD ROM in the sdcard, but after installation it is stuck on HTC logo. When i do factory reset, it is going back to recovery. What to do now? After flashing, i wipe cache and dalvik.

that error is OK, since you don't have an OTG cable attached.

But just so I get this right, can you explain what your ultimate goal is?

Phone is softbricked and I cant boot into any OS. I dont have any nandroid backups before flashing ARHD for the first time, from there on its a long journey. First i tried to restore it to stock, so went with RUU route. But even that is failing even though I had right CID and MID, may version-main was the issue.

Now i want ARHD or stock either to work. Current situation -Soft bricked, Unlocked, S-off, TWRP 2.6.3.3 OS original version 2.24.708.4. I reflashed ARHD, at the end of install (with full success, the device shut down automatically) When i start it shows HTC icon (with red text below) and nothng happen afterwards. I waited for 10 mins approximatley. Ultimately I want latest 4.4 with HTC sense. It seems stock option is very cumbersome so I am ok with Custom ROM. Should I try some other ROM ?

First off, stay S-Off!! Do not even think about S-On.

Second, if you want to go for 100% stock, check my guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
using ruu.zip method with the 1.28.401.7 ruu.zip

Third, if you want ARHD or any other custom ROM, just follow the steps mentioned in the Frequently Asked Question sticky I linked earlier. assuming you checked MD5, used twrp 2.6.3.3, etc, then you didn't wait long enough for the ROM to boot up; as mentioned the first bootup (after a clean install) will take close to 20 mins.

Let me know if you have any questions

I also tried sideloading with adb, the device is recognized in adb but i can't send big files, my system is frozen after running the command. But when i send a test file, it is sideloaded quickly.

    Can anyone suggest, which ROM to sideload which will be compatible with my device ??

    you need twrp 2.6.3.3 to flash arhd rom, will not work with 2.6.3.0.

    if you want the phone to be European version use a WWE ruu (.401 version)

    change cid and mid to match the .401 ruu
    then flash the ruu.
    stay s-off and unlocked.

    RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1(1)

    It is giving me ERROR [155] Please choose correct ROM utilit for your device. I flashed stock recovery and relocked bootloader. Can you guys suggest a correct RUU here are my new details

    Also, for the suggestion of using custom ROM, i can't unlock my bootloader now to start with twrp 2.6.3.3 and ARHD. Its giving me this error now

    C:\Flashtool\Fastboot>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
    sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
    OKAY [ 0.150s]
    writing 'unlocktoken'...

    Since you are S-Off, use a custom recovery masked in a firwmare package: you can use of these "firmware" packages (m7_u/ul only):
    http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13085

    in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    fastboot flash zip fw_m7ul_TWRP_2.6.3.3_1.26.401.33.zip
    fastboot reboot-bootloader

    -> enter RECOVERY (should be TWRP or CWM now)

    and use scotty1223's commands in custom recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475914 to unlock bootloader

    C:\ADB3>[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb devices[/COLOR][/B]

^^ if this doesn't work in your particular version, 
   just select reboot to bootloader in TWRP.


    ps: your version-main will now say 1.26.401.33 (reflecting the recovery version 2.6.3.3); it didn't actually change, but version-main always shows the last thing flashed in ruu mode.
    .


    Also, there's no need to relock bootloader for RUU flashing when you are S-Off.

    Do not ever go S-ON!!

    Close to 30 mins now, same HTC screen with red text. Now what to do ? I already flashed it twice. Should I try once more? any other thing that i need to be careful ?

    If ARHD create problem try Run RUU 4.3 version
    4.4 ruu don't know why creating flashing problem
    Guru Rom also a better options
    As nkk said format data
    If any important data is there use TWRP file manager in advance option copy to USB otg
    You don't need stock recovery for ruu
    Yes I got your point i will never go S-off and remain UNLOCKED whether stock or custom as I am already S-OFF. Right ??

    Don't be S On & Locked
    Remain S Off & Unlocked

    First off, stay S-Off!! Do not even think about S-On.

    Second, if you want to go for 100% stock, check my guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
    using ruu.zip method with the 1.28.401.7 ruu.zip

    Third, if you want ARHD or any other custom ROM, just follow the steps mentioned in the Frequently Asked Question sticky I linked earlier. assuming you checked MD5, used twrp 2.6.3.3, etc, then you didn't wait long enough for the ROM to boot up; as mentioned the first bootup (after a clean install) will take close to 20 mins.

    Let me know if you have any questions

    Thanks nkk, i am able to flash the ruu.zip, and now phone is LIVE again. Now i am updating to latest HTC sense and then will move to AHRD after taking proper backup. One confusion is MD5 checksum, what I got was different from what was there on website. I tried with two downloaders and spent extra time. Ultimately took the risk and all went well.

    I really appreciate your precise answers. I will update the heading to SOLVED.
