Hello, my phone was booting to bootloader, or to CWM recovery only.

i have tried to flash this stock RUU.exe

RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed

but it always end up with ERROR that this is wrong ruu file... but CID in GETVAR shows HTC__001 so this firmware fits...

i still can enter or flash recovery, now im on CWM v6.0.2.8

when im tryin for egsample WIPE DATA i get many errors like this:

-- Wipping data...
Formatting /data
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format. . .
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ex...
Formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure!
Error mounting /sdcard/ .android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.

and i cant change my cid to supercid 11111111 i get some king of java card error... maybe because im S-On..

any help?

It looks like the ruu you are trying to flash is an older version than what is on your phone. Only way to downgrade is with s-off.

If you are on 6.x.x.x firmware, I don't think there is an ruu out yet for s-on phones.

Have you tried flashing stock recovery img and factory reset? It sounds like your partitions are messed up. I don't know if a stock recovery reset will fix that issue, but it is worth a shot. Only other method to fix partition errors is with an ruu

ok, i search an internet for what OS version i have because i dont know, not bootloader screen nor getvar showed it,
but depending on what RADIO and HBOOT and CID i have,
i find out that my os version should be 5.11.401.10
so i downloaded stock recovery for this and flashed,, and done a factory reset,,,

But nothing changed at all, only recovery..

i still have same bootloader and getvar results..


what more i should try ?
by the way, i cant s-off becaue my phone wont boot OS,, it shows that there is no os,,

If you are on 5.11.401.10, have you tried finding an ruu for that version? It seems that is your only hope.

find out only .zip so far, but its OTA zip. i dont even know how to flash ota zips when im s-on... so since this is OTA there is no chance to get an .exe ....?

EDIT. it seems that i was trying to flash .zip tht ws only less than 100mb, now i find out OTA almost 700mb zipped.. ok will download and try now...

ok, i cant flash OTA,, i get many errors of cant mount cache... so i need to find how to fix it...

maybe somebody know for what version RUU.exe is this OTA made ? 5.11.401.10 or what ruu.exe can be newer than this ota? so i can try older or newer ruu.exe

you can't flash OTAs and there are no RUUs available at the moment above 4.xx, so with S-ON, you can't use RUU.


in either case, if you have now fixed the "Active Cmdline Overflow" error then you need to update recovery.

use TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or possibly 2.8.0.1) and follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228274&page=3

in particular Point D, about truly formatting /data /system and /cache, once you format those, and reboot to recovery, you should be able to access the partitions again, then push or sideload a ROM as mentioned in Point E

neither, the first one is a decrypted RUU.ZIP which is lower than your current version so you can't flash that

the second is an OTA (Over The Air) update <- an update expect a certain version to already be on the phone, eg you cannot apply a Windows 8.1 patch on Windows XP


get yourself a ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one#romList
the Development section, General section or wherever, and push it, then install it.

if you just want stock 5.11.401.10, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759000
