[GUIDE][MOD] Dark Bootloader | Current Firmware 7.15.401.1 | No Red Warning Text - One (M7) Android Development

The following are custom firmware packages that use the hboot 1.54 (bootloader) from the Google Edition version of the HTC One. Since it is from the Google Edition, the HTC branding has been removed from the bootloader screen. It also has a nice dark look to it rather than the bright white one that is the HTC stock version.
The source thread of that dump is here.
This basically means the latest firmware packages but modified to contain the GE hboot which gives the Dark Bootloader look.
Not compatible with Sprint or Verizon
S-OFF Only!
This is for only M7 UL or M7 U Devices
This mod just uses the hboot file (version 1.54) from the above dump inserted into the newly released firmware versions.
The hboot file is the bootloader of the system and since the hardware functioning of both models is the same, parts of their firmwares are interchangeable.
Since this hboot is coming from a Google Edition there is no red warning text on the bootloader and you don't have to run one of the modified hboot files to remove it.
All these firmware packages are prepared the same. Since we don't want to overwrite our custom recovery or kernel, I have pulled the stock recovery and stock kernel out, so no change to either and no data loss. If a firmware contains a new touchscreen driver that will mandate a update of your custom recovery I will make note and possibly just bundle the firmware with the update recovery (CWM or TWRP). So far the 2 packages that do contain a new touchscreen driver have not required an update to custom recoveries.
The stock radio image for each firmware is left in the package, so if you want to change your firmware version without changing your radio, simply open the firmware zip file and delete the radio.img from the zip before flashing.
Anyone interested in the different partitions of the HTC One to see exactly what is contained in some of these firmware packages look here:
Partition list Info from SneakyGhost. He shared that info here
Reference thread about stock firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
Here is a screenshot of what the Dark Bootloader looks like. The RADIO and OS versions will match the firmware package. This shows the first version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These will work as is for most MID's and CID's. You should open the android-info.txt file within the firmware zip and make sure your MID and CID is listed. Get your current MID and CID with this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
If yours is not listed you will need to add your CID or MID to the android-info.txt file inside the zip files I provided. Just extract the file from the zip download and edit one of the entries found in the file to your CID/MID. Save the file and then add it back to the zip. I would delete the existing android-info.txt file from within the zip before re-adding the updated one back.
Instructions for Flashing:
Boot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Reboot RUU mode via fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Flash the firmware:
Code:
fastboot flash zip 3.17.502.3_firmware_darkboot.zip
After it finishes, execute the command again to complete the flash:
Code:
fastboot flash zip 3.17.502.3_firmware_darkboot.zip
Output should look something like this:
Code:

Now you can type reboot you are all set.
Disconnect the cable and go back into the bootloader to see the new dark theme and also notice that when you boot up there is a little lock symbol at the bottom of your splash screen that indicates your bootloader status. If you want the Dark/Inverted splash screen I have shown on my phone it can flashed separately from here.
Just install from recovery.
Here is the Bootloader Status Icon:
Enjoy, but remember - Flash at your own risk. This firmware from the 4.3 dump changes very important bootloader partitions on your phone. Make sure you have working ADB with updated drivers.
*****NOTE - The hboot in these firmware packages contains hboot 1.54 which I understand doesn't work with fastboot commands on Windows 8.1 until you have installed the Intel USB 3.0 drivers. See HERE

i am assuming twrp or cwm recovery wont have any issue not like the 2.24 fw, cwm and twrp touch were broken

No problems with recovery because the Touch drivers are not updated.

Looks like adb not working on 4.3, my device shows offline, not sure why i just flash the 2.24 fw this morning before flashing the GE 4.3

ADB is working fine for me after flashing either of these. I didn't need to update the sdk or anything but maybe you should try. In general the changes made here should not have an affect on ADB.
If you already have 4.3, then you shouldn't be flashing this! Try the 4.3 thread.

Yo dude, thanks for putting together that neat package and thread.
Was gonna drop that stuff in my thread anyway. Just too busy at work these days so hadn't had a chance. Hope you don't mind if I take this or parts of it tomorrow when I update my thread.
Talk to me if that's an issue. I'll leave credits of course.

This happened to me, I ended up re downloading the drivers. Once, I did that I went ahead and continued on to doing the process. Even if it still shows offline, you can boot in to Fastboot. The volume down and power button way.. It'll come back tho, nothing to worry about. This process to 4.3 via RUU, gave me a couple issues at first, but got it working after a bit of playing around. I got my phone to a point that my bootloader wouldn't come up and I had 4 triangle exclamation points on the each 4 corners of my screen... 8)
The 4.2.2 GE RUU brought me back to life tho.
Good Luck!!

I see now. It still shouldn't matter. You should be able to use this package to get the 3.06.1700.10 bootloader files. Unless your on a non GSM One like from Sprint as I believe the partition layout is different for that phone, it should work.

did everything as stated and at the very end it says it's finished total time: 21.347 seconds, however on the phone it looks like its stuck at 99% with the green bar and when i try adb reboot bootloader it just says error device not found...
edit: just unplugged the cable and it went to the black hboot screen and i just held the power button and restarted and everything seems normal, so i think i'm still good lol

just like firmawre flashes, the greenbar won't fill 100%.
you can't adb reboot in ruu mode, you have to fastboot reboot

The 99% is normal. I think it's fastboot reboot-bootloader tho
Thank you for this, crushalot. It worked great, and I love the new bootloader/Hboot. Nice work sir!

I just unplugged the cable and restarted the phone normally everything works great! Thanks for the help reply though!

Big thnx for this. I've been holding off flashing a custom hboot til I saw that blackness. Very nice. It worked like a champ.

Thanks for this!
While I do get the black bootloader screen, for whatever reason, I still get a WHITE splash screen with a black unlock symbol. Weird, wonder what happened...?

Welcome to VomerGuides: [M7 Edition]
Have an M8? There's a guide for that!
Hey folks!
Many of you will find this post similar to the ARHD posts I have made.
Based on several suggestions and PM's - I decided to make a separate thread in the hope that this will stop some repeated questions asked in multiple threads.
Following this guide will allow you to (in this sequence):
- Achieve S-OFF using revone
- Change your CID to SuperCID (allowing you to bypass regional ROM restrictions)
- Upgrade to the latest firmware (UL edition) without loosing any data on your SD card
- Install the latest TWRP recovery

Windows Users: It's a good idea to install the HTC drivers on your pc: http://d-h.st/4LL or use this toolkit to install the drivers.
READING & FOLLOWING EACH STEP IS KEY TO SUCCESS.
SECTION 0: SYSTEM PREPARATION:
First we need to get you ADB and fastboot
Windows Users, download this file and extract the folder called "adb" to your C: drive. Your path should look like this:
Code:
C:\adb\
Also, you will need to open a command prompt window using this method:
Code:
Go to the C:\adb\ folder - hold down SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK and select "Open command window here".
Mac/Linux users install ADB & fastboot using: Download
1. Extract the downloaded zip to your desktop
2. Open Terminal and type in:
Code:
su
cd Desktop/Android/ (note: Android is the directory extracted from zip file)
3. Now type
Code:
./ADB-Install-Mac.sh
Note: By using the method above, your adb and fastboot files are stored at this location on your Mac: /usr/bin/
SECTION 1: S-OFF & SUPERCID
Downloads Required:
- revone (hboot 1.44)
- rumrunner (hboot 1.5x)
Note: If you are running a 4.4 based ROM and do not want to downgrade to a lower version to use revone or rumrunner - try this tool to S-OFF
Note: revone (used for s-off) has been reported to work best with 4.2.2 roms. Please install a 4.2.2 ROM before attempting S-OFF.
Note: If you are using rumrunner - please follow the instructions to s-off provided on the rumrunner link above. Steps below are for revone only.
Note: Read these useful tips before attempting S-OFF
Mac/Linux users: Save this file to your Desktop
Windows users: Save this file to the C:/adb/ folder
Also, before continuing - make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone (Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging)
If you do not see "Developer Options", Go to Settings > About phone > Software > More > click on build number 10 times. This should enable that section.
Part 1
1. Push revone to your device:
Code:
Mac/Linux: adb push /Users/vomer/Desktop/revone /data/local/tmp/
Windows: adb push C:/adb/revone /data/local/tmp/
2. Open adb shell by writing:
Code:
adb shell
su
3. Write in the shell:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
4. Then write this:
Code:
chmod 755 revone
5. Next, write the following command:
Code:
./revone -P
6. Revone reported that I needed to reboot and try again. So I wrote :
Code:
reboot
[COLOR=Red][B]Note:[/B][/COLOR]
[B]Stuck with error: -1?[/B]
When initiating a reboot after "./revone -P" please press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
To start the entire process from scratch please power off the device and wait 30 seconds, turn it on and continue to ."/revone -P".
7. Close your Command Prompt/Terminal window. Open it again and type:
Code:
adb shell
su
8. Write (to change directory in the phone):
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
8a. Write the following command:
Code:
./revone -P (it will now say success and ask to reboot phone - do it by typing: reboot)
8b. Once rebooted - repeat steps 7 & 8
9. To get S-OFF & unlock, write the following command:
Code:
./revone -s 0 -u
10. revone will report success. Exit the shell:
Code:
exit (or just close terminal and open a new one)
11. Reboot into bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
12. Check if the bootloader screen show's you as S-OFF (it should be in the in the first line under the "pink" highlighted text)
13. Reboot the phone
14. Start the adb shell, again:
Code:
adb shell
15. Change to the folder where revone is stored by typing:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
16. Request revone to reset tampered flag by typing:
Code:
./revone -t
17. Exit the adb shell by writing: exit (or just close terminal and open a new one)
18. Reboot to the bootloader by writing:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
19. Phone should now be S-OFF and tampered flag should be gone
Now stay at this bootloader screen with your phone plugged in to the PC - and follow the steps in Part 2 below.
Part 2
Now lets get you SuperCID:
1. Open terminal/command prompt and type (copy paste command below or make sure there a eight 1's):
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
2. Reboot phone into bootloader mode (by typing: adb reboot bootloader) and verify CID#. It should look similar to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SECTION 2: FIRMWARE UPGRADE
FIRMWARE FAQ:
Q: Do I need S-OFF for firmware flashing?
A: YES!
Q: Do I NEED to update my firmware?
A: NO! But doing so ensures optimal phone performance.
Q: Does it matter when I flash the firmware (before or after new ROM install)
A: NO!
Q: Will updating the firmware erase my SD card or Apps?
A: NO! The firmware files provided in this guide take care of this for you so none of those get erased.
Q: If I only flash the ROM, will I get updated to the latest firmware?
A: NO!
Q: Can I install a U edition firmware on a UL edition phone?
A: YES, but you might loose the ability to connect to LTE or have some other incompatibilities.

Windows users, you need to do these steps first:
- move the file you downloaded and renamed (firmware.zip) to the C:\adb\ folder.
- next, in the C:\adb\ folder hold down SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK and select "Open command window here".
-----
First, plug in phone to PC and type this in terminal/command prompt:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
-----
Let's start by checking current system details. Type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After that, type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Note: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
Note: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
fastboot flash zip /Users/vomer/Desktop/firmware.zip
Windows users: your command will look something like this: fastboot flash zip C:\adb\firmware.zip

SECTION 3: RECOVERY
Note: I personally prefer TWRP - so my guide below points to using TWRP.
If you like CWM, you can follow the same steps but with the latest CWM file.
----
Get latest TWRP: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
With your phone plugged into your PC, type in:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader mode, type:
Code:
Mac/Linux: fastboot flash recovery /Users/vomer/Desktop/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-m7.img
Windows: fastboot flash recovery C:\adb\openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-m7.img
Then:
Code:
fastboot reboot
You are now the the latest version of TWRP.

That's it! Enjoy your new found freedom

Well i'm rooted and have my bootloader unlocked from htcdev but i'm S-ON so do I need to relock to use revone to get S-OFF? Or not? Or relock and un root? Or?

Ok sounds great. Do you think that once I have S-OFF and Super CID that the Firmware update will fix my Sleep of Death issues on CM roms? codeworkx said the issue is from what he said a KGSL derp or something. The firmware update would update the gpu driver or update stuff that would effect the gpu driver?
Just wondering, thanks for the amazing guide btw, easiest i've seen so far to follow. Will be doing it tonight after work. Wanted to do it now but I decided not to since I need my phone charged as much as possible before I go to work today (have to get into work early and I didn't know until before so My phone was nearly flat xD)

I am not sure on gpu drivers, but this should solve the issue if it is firmware related.

Stuck on Boot screen while trying to flash [ROM] InsertCoin 3.0.6 for DLXUB1 | Androi
Hi,
I tried to flash the [ROM] InsertCoin 3.0.6 for DLXUB1 | Android 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 6 | | IC PerApp Theme and got stuck on the boot screen.
I have TWRP 2.5 installed, Hboot 1.41.0000 and bootloader unlocked.
I simply went into recovery and installed the zip file.
Please help. It is much needed and appreciated.

Dear Xunus,
Yes I had the debugging mode on and fastboot off in the dev. options & power settings respectively. Also I don't have HTC Sync. Set up my ASUS ROG G750JMhttp://www.asus.com/in/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ROG_G750JM/according to this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256359 for device recognition in adb/fastboot mode after completly setting up JDK (& enviorment fully with path setting in system enviornment) and Android SDK as per this link - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
But I'm in a thicker soup now. (in between my query and your reply).
Actually this device was initially my first x920d HTC_038.
On this intial device I was S-on, unlocked, maybe rooted or rooted then unrooted ( bootloader displayed *** TAMPERED *** ***UNLOCKED*** ,S-On, Hboot 1.41.00 - if required i can post the image) & definitely had a custom rom installed on it & TWRP 2.5 (don't remember which custom rom {somewhere around Android JB initial versions & subsequently upgraded to JB 4.2, but was not able to update to 4.3});
Last week I came across InsertCoin Kitkat Roms and tried to upgrade by flashing TWRP 2.8 & then flashing the zip through recovery TWRP 2.8 and got stuck at boot screen. You were kind enough to help me out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56987280&postcount=3
Then I flashed Kairi's Twrp and flashed Insert Coin 3.0.6. Then rooted by flashing 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip'. My device info after this was as - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57107853&postcount=5
Then I tried to s-off through rumrunner 0.5.xx following this guide - http://rumrunner.us/instructions/ but it never finished - (attached image). Then I relocked the bootloader by fastboot oem lock command in fastboot mode. It did relock my bootloader, then i retried rumrunner through fastboot, but it came up with this - 'attached image 1'. Nnow I'm stuck with relocked bootloader, rooted device running insert coin 3.0.6, cannot boot into recovery, cannot flash PL99IMG.img/TWRP 2.7 Kairi (attached images). But my fastboot/adb is fully up and the IC rom is running good.
Kindly try to help me if you get some time.
Also I want to contribute (though am not able to contribute financially at the moment) to our forum , but sure can commit/devote minimum 6 to 10 hours a week for any job the forum/members' want or can be understudee to any member. Just bear in mind that I'm a noobie
I hope+wish to contribute+learn simultaneously to+from our forum.
Thanks.

I'm not really a pro on this stuff, just sharing my experience on the Butterfly. Since your current situation is a Relocked bootloader and unfortunately its still S-ON. The only thing you could do was to unlocked your bootloader again via every possible ways. I did see you tried to unlock with the 1st unlock_code.bin. But it gave you error. How about getting a new Unlock_code from HTC? Hopefully it will work this round. Without a unlocked bootloader there's pretty much nothing else you could do.( Caution: unlocking your bootloader again will wipe your data. Recommended to backup your stuffs if you need them)
If you are able to unlock your bootloader, things to do and try out.
1st: Flash Kairi's 270X twrp
2nd: Flash Kairi's reset kernel (Because its a unsecured stock kernel)
3rd: Turn on usb debug, HTC fast boot turn off
4th: Try rumrunner again.
The real developers for x920d left here in xda would be kairi_zeroblade and xXminiWHOOPERxX. Its only them that can make a change to the X920D xda community.

Voila
I have just unlocked again through flashing unlock token.
Actually if you see in the image in my previous post I had erronouslt typed "fastboot unlocktocken Unlock_code.bin". It should had been "fastboot unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin".
The device is setting up for the first time as I type.
Thanks XUNUS.
Now should I follow your the steps you mentioned or first of all change my CID HTC_038 to CID: 11111111 by "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" and then continue to your steps.
Also can you provide me the link to kairi's reset kernel?
I cannot do a "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" as I'm S-On.
meanwhile I've successfully flashed Kairi's TWRP and now am searching for his Reset Kernel.

Hi Xunus,
I was running InsertCoin 3.0.6 on my x920d HTC_038, unloocked (thru HTCDev), S-Off (thru rumrunner) and rooted by flashing 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02' from recovery after flashing the ROM a couple of days earlier.
I had also flashed Kairi's firmware-kk (which is for HTC_061) as I had Super CID 11111111.
There was some problem with the htc backup/restore function, so I reflashed the rom acouple of times thru recovery(TWRP 2.7 by Kairi).
I happened to flash '[ROM] FireKatN4 Deodex V5 TW 4.4.4' from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...emely-t2916463. Which did not flashed properly; so I re-flashed IC3.0.6 thru recovery and it showed successful at the end.
Now when I tried to reboot it got stuck in bootloop.
Since yesterday I have been trying various steps:
Unlocked the bootloader thru HTCDev once again.
Flashing the firmware-kk thru oemRUU after changing the CID to 11111111 in the adroid-info file of this zip. (it gave Remote90 error and after repeating fastboot flash zip firmware-kk.zip it flashed. Although in between it said "signature checking, verified fail - Bypassing and after that successful at the end. However on my device the green bar moved only to 90% and remained there.)
Rebooted into bootloader, tried flashing the same firmware with Error :
"C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware-kk.zip
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes
sending 'zip' (19401 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.975s]

FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 2.011s"
Although I'm able to flash recovery img thru fastboot.

No ! i dont think so.. I earlier talk with official mentor of IC ROMS. and he told me that development for x920d has been stopped because they dont have a Butterfly now.

lollipop or at least kk 4.4.4 update for htc butterfly
i am running IC 3.0.6 its running ok, but i have some GPU lag in some games that i didnt have issues with when i was running htc stock 4.3 it not a deal breaker everything else works better, but i was hoping IC update this ROM to a newer version like on HTC DNA, at least KK 4.4.4

thanks
thanks for ur sharing.

[Solved] HTC Butterfly S-Off, Unlock, Bootloader & TWRP Recovery "Stuck in bootloop."
PLEASE try to HELP or acknowlede!
Please forgive me for contacting you as such but I'm desparate right now.
Dear All,
I'm wound up in a bootloop. Please help at the earliest.
This is my current status and a little history.
1. I was flashed InsertCoin 3.0.6 on my x920d (originally HTC_038) a couple of days ago (and did a TWRP Backup after That),
2. Had unlocked my previous, old custom rom (thru HTCDev), S-Off (thru rumrunner) and
3. rooted by flashing 'UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02' from recovery after flashing the ROM a couple of days earlier.
4. I had also flashed Kairi's firmware-kk (which is for HTC_061) as I had Super CID 11111111 by "fastboot oem writecid..." method, now I'm not able to do it anymore).
Anyway, there was some problem (wrongly presumed by me) with the htc backup/restore function, so I reflashed the IC3.0.6 rom a couple of times thru recovery(TWRP 2.7 by Kairi). And the device booted perfectly.
Stupidly, I happened to flash '[ROM] FireKatN4 Deodex V5 TW 4.4.4' through Kairi's recovery. Link of the ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...emely-t2916463.
Thish rom was for Samsung T Mobile Galaxy Note 4 N910T and it did not flashed properly; so I re-flashed IC3.0.6 thru recovery (if required I can perform this again) and it showed successful at the end.
Now since then whenever I reboot it get stuck in bootloop.
Since yesterday I have been trying various steps (repeated several times and not inchronological order):
- Unlocked the bootloader thru HTCDev once again.
- Flashing the firmware-kk thru oemRUU after changing the CID to 11111111 in the 'adroid-info file" of this firmware's zip. (it gave Remote90 error and after repeating fastboot flash zip firmware-kk.zip it flashed.
Although in between it said "signature checking, verified fail - Bypassing" and then continued on its own after that, successful at the end. However on my device the green bar moved only to 90% and remained there.)
- Rebooted into bootloader, tried flashing the same firmware with Error :
"C:\Fastboot>fastboot flash zip firmware-kk.zip
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes
sending 'zip' (19401 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.975s]

Now my status is:
Although I'm able to flash recovery img thru fastboot. I can do it from oem rebootRUU.

Now
1. I,m S-Off, Relocked/Unlocked Bootloader (able to do this thru fastboot).
2. Can boot into bootloader & TWRP Recovery - Kairi's, but cannot boot the phone.
3. After flashed IC3.0.6 thru recover once again. when rebooting, get stuck in bootloop again.
Please try to help me out.
P.S. I have somescreenshots available of several steps, if required.

Did you flash the kk firmware twice? It will fail on the first go so flash again.

Yes Clarkie,
I had flashed firmware-kk thru 'fastboot oem rebootRUU', then 'fastboot flash zip fimware-kk.zip'
It gave me th 90 error and I repeated the command and it went successful.
I'll do that again and update you with each step chronologically.

Hi Vikram.
This could be the blind leading the blind. But I will help out as much as I can.
I had the same problem with IC boot looping and especially with my nandroid backups. See if you can download a different rom and get that on your sd card and flash that. You can try BOA Butterfly v8.0 that always booted up for me when IC wouldn't. I also found a stock nandroid x920d backup that worked. At least I had my device working until I had the time to sort out IC on my device.
Now a couple of your queries.
My cid 11111111
HBOOT 1.57
The green progress bar never reaches the end it always stays at about 90% and reboot bootloader command should be like this
"adb reboot-bootloader" without the quotes
Sorry Vikram all over the place tonight I just finished work. Hope this helps. Plus the best information I can give you as well is search this site. everything you need is on here with a little searching. Only been doing this since July and I also tried to flash every rom out there only to discover that they all don't work. Got myself out of a few bootloops.
Try what I mentioned above and see how you go with that.

Thanks A TON Clarkie,
Your reply is very much appreciated. It seems like a ray of hope in a dark tunnel. Really grateful to you.
Now coming back to the matter at hand -
I had earlier tried to
1. Tried to flash 'NOS_m7_v3.0.0_dlxbu1' thru Recovery, was successful but when tried to boot, got stuck again in bootloop. Then again installed InserCoin.
Note - Maybe I did not perfom a wipe cache & definately did not flash the boot image thru fastboot after flashing the above rom.
Secondly I'm neither able to reboot from bootloader mode into recovery nor vice verca.
Thirdly, I cannot flash any zip from bootloader (but able to flash image files thru bootloader & install zip thru recovery); & no "fastboot reboot recovery" from bootloader mode and no "adb reboot bootloader"
from recovery (same with RUU "fastboot reboot bootloader", though in recovery & fastboot mode "adb/fastboot devices" show my device).
Fourthly, whenever I reboot into system/android I get Two bootscreens - 1. HTC Quietly Brilliant & the device gets disconnected and connected again and the second boot screen is HTC One.
Finally it stays at the HTC One screen for some time and suddenly there is some very slight variation in the brightness of the bootscreen, then the capacitive buttons (Back, Home & Recent app) lightens and it
reboots.
2. Tried to restore from TWRP Backup (when I was successfully running InserCoin for the first time) but again the bootloop. I also have one of NOS_m7_v3.0.0 (When I was S-On), that I've not tried yet as I'm afraid to get
back to S-On and bootloop at the same time..
3. Meanwhile, today a couple of hours ago, I came across this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208833, and
performed an advanced wipe thru recovery (wiping everythingh except external sd card). Wiped Dalvik Cache. TWRP Backup. Rebooted. (For a lovely change) Got stuck at boot screen -HTC Quitely Briliant.
(maybe no OS installed).
4. Manually went into bootloader and then recovery. Installed InsertCoin again. At the end it said no SuperSU. Swiped to install it. Reboot. Got stuck at Bootloop.
Please try to Suggest:
A. When to flash boot.img - before or after installing the rom.
B. Does restoring S-On state backup will effect my S-Off condition.
Thanx In Advance.
1 + 1 = 11
Will Definately try BOA's Rom meanwhile.

HI Clarkie,
Tried the download links at BOA's ROM thread in the forum. Doesen't work.
Can you provide me a link.

Ok Vikram.
From what I have done and read I have always done a factory reset thru recovery before flashing any rom. Also try re flashing TWRP same version. I also got stuck on HTC ONE screen and turned the device of at power button and back on and it booted up fine. I would keep your device at s.off and i flashed the boot img after the rom because the device would not boot. Sorry for the short replies I am not that quick on the keyboard.
Here is the link for boa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656094
Spare link 4 is still up.
Just keep going on it. It is a process of thinking what worked before and why it not working now.
Keep me posted

Hi Clarkie,
Tried the following:
Installed TWRP 2.6.3
Factory reset from recovery.
Installed BOA V8.0 thru recovery (Couldn't understand the language of aroma installer, but went ahead both the times).
Device Rebooted into bootloop again.
Powered off with only the power button, but then it again restarted into bootloop.
Flashed the boot.img thru fastboot. Reboot. Again bootloop.
Went to Recovery. Wiped everythingh except Micro SDcard
Installed the rom thru recovery install zip
Aroma Installer Finished Screen -> from recovery reboot options went into fastboot. Flashed the boot.img.
Rebooted to System - Back to square 1 in bootloop.
Also during the bootloop pressing down the power button does not power off & restarts the device. But the screen goes off for a few seconds and automatically boots intp the bootloop.
FYI -
I'm using a partitioned sd card. with 1. FAT32, 2. ext4 & 3. Linux SWAP. And thru recovery file manager it showed sd-ext & superuser folders in the root. I'll give it a try on an unpartitioned card.
had successfully, flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-dlxub1 before flashing TWRP 2.6.3. But the CWMod recovery shows the following:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I tried adb reboot-bootloader but nothing happens.
Please try to suggest from here.
How can I check (from Bootloader/recovery) if my device is rooted/unrooted.

I mean when the splash screens stays on for more than a few minutes and not in boot loop hit the power button to off then back on. That has worked for me. I am not sure about your partitioned sd card. I just store things on mine.
Have a look at this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283896
I had the same similar errors a while ago but I cant remember how I fixed it. Well I do. I fixed one error at a time and lots of searching.

I have done again the following steps as you said:
1. Started the Device.
2. First Splash screen came up - HTC quietly Briliant.
3. Second Splash Screen came up - HTC One.
4. Waited for one/two seconds and pressed continuosly on the power button.
5. Screen went totally black/maybe powered off.
6. Removed my finger from the Power button in order to press it back to power the device.
7. Before I can press it is back on the first splash screen pops up and the bootloop starts.
8. Even If I do not release the power button after the 5th step it automatically reboots & bootloop starts.
I did try this from the first bootscreen and also after complete power down from bootloader/recovery mode.
Meanwhile I'll search the link you gave.
I think that maybe I'm unrooted now because when i try thru recovery - advance - file manager, I cannot see any file in /system/bin/ (where there should have been a su file there.)
Thanks for your reply . will keep you posted.
Your replies mean a lot to me.

Hi Clarkie,
Re-read all of your posts and guidance.
Motivated by this and the links provided espaicially by you and reply from abhinav.tella I think I'm able to lock on the problem (perhaps).
Right now compiling it and will post with further details.
Kindly try to walk me thru it with your suggestions and guidance.
Thanx in advance.

Hi Clarlie,
Thanks for your time & energy till date. You are kind enough to help out somebody very selflessly on your part. I'm motivated and have inculcated the same.
Anyway, I tried to understand the whole thing piece by piece. Also I have assimilated a few screenshots (I have many others if required.)
The following is only what I did & now think could be the cause.
First of all; I had successfully installed and was running InsertCoin a few days ago. See Step by Sep as per the numbered images attached with this and several within the next few following posts.
1
1. 1. Unlocked, rooted & running InserCoin, (but a Kernel & firmware based on 4.2 custom rom) --- 28-11-14 17-23hrs
1. 2. Achieved S-Off with XUNUS's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-butterfly/help/qa-insertcoin-3-0-6-dlxub1-android-4-4-t2950052)help & updated to TWRP 2.7 Kairi's along with reste-kernel-ub1 again Kairi's, 29-11-14 19-32.
1. 3. bootloader after s-off before revone, 29-11-14 23-09.

My power button quit working, I'm within the 1 year warranty period, and I need to go back to stock after I get my replacement.
Before I call VZW, since I'm rooted and using nV ROM, and I know they ask about the Software, does anyone have a screen shot of the Stock Software screen, Kit Kat unless LP has been pushed?
Thanks!

They can see more information than you can tell them. Best bet is to be stock during that call.

Thanks for that input.
So, since the new phone arrived, I've been trying to restore my old phone to stock, S-OF, Unroot and Locked boot loader, etc.
I'm able to ADB into fastboot, however for whatever reason I cannot load the 06BIMG.zip(not at my computer)
Fastboot simply reboots immediately when I adb reboot boatloader.
Is there another way to get a stock image on the phone, remove the red text at boot up, s-off, lock boot loader with stock recovery and unroot?
Everything I've tried seems to be hinged on that fastboot rebooting issue.
Thanks

I just remember last year downloading and installing the nV Rom which was 4.4.2. and updating the radios.
I've tried the 0p6bimg.zip method in fastboot, but it fails as well. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it's in the root of the SD card.

You tell me, I'll probably get out of work around 3pm and head down to York. I have to pick up tools from a friend that's borrowing them for work around 5/530, so whenever.
Since the PWR buttons not working, I'm not able to select HBOOT at the bootloader screen, and the commands I was using to get the HTC black screen fail to push. However, I just renamed your ZIP file and will try again and report back

Got half way through and now I'm at the four exclamation marks on the corners

I'm wondering if anyone can help with this. The phone is an Unbranded UK LTE One SV that was previously running Stock Jellybean 4.22. (Manufacturer No: 99HSH008-00).
I had it from new and it was never flashed or rooted or had S off etc. It started to play up so I got another device. At one point I was able to reset it and it worked but then randomly when it booted it would only boot to a black screen with a clock at the top. Like it had not loaded all the OS. After a while it would then just power off. Now I can't get past the boot menu. I'm trying to determine if this is a hardware fault or if it just needs to be reflashed to stock if the ROM has been corrupted.
The menu says as per attached picture :
TAMPERED
LOCKED.
Security Warning
K2_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

I notice it gets very hot if left for a while in this menu and the battery drains quickly. Factory reset just takes me back to the same menu as does recovery. After the HTC screen it says in red that this version is for development purposes only under. I note that on other screen shots from other devices it say the memory size next to the eMMC Boot, whereas mine has none. When connected via USB the phone is recognised on the PC in Device manager. Is there any hope or anything I can try?
Any help appreciated.

Since posting I've done the following:
First I've Unlocked my phone at the htcdev site successfully.
So now it shows this in the Boot menu
Then following instructions from here: Root for HTC One SV UPDATED 23/02/13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671
I then flashed recovery.img using the downloaded file on the thread labelled as the stock recovery.
I just realised though that this file is called k2u_recovery_signed.img (which i had re-named to recovery.img)
but my phone is a K2 UL. Is this the wrong recovery file to flash with? I'm unable to enter recovery mode the phone just get stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen with the red development version writing underneath or just reboots in a loop. It still doesn't boot properly.
I can't seem to find the correct recovery.img.
I looked on this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317379
where there are 2 files for K2 UL European.
Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.6-2.14.401.2)
and
Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.2-1.17.401.5_R)
I am able to download the 2nd file from google docs but the 1st from app.box.com can't seem to be downloaded by any of my browsers.
I reflashed the 2nd K2UL recovery.img from Jelly Bean (uploaded OTA_K2_UL_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_2.14.401.2-1.17.401.5_R)
But it still doesn't go into recovery mode. I sometimes get the green download arrow then it goes black or just goes straight to black so i guess its not the right file either. Is there an alternate link for the other file anywhere, so I can try that?
recovery.img

I was unable to enter recovery before this so think it was already corrupted.
having no luck finding that recovery assuming its the right one. leaving it for now.

I think, that you can't boot into recovery, is a problem of mismatching files. You are using older recovery files with latest firmware.
But at least i don't know what software/firmware you are running on your phone, so try to get some more info by using fastboot with the following cmd:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Put the output here without serial and imei numbers.
For a recovery which works with latest software, look here.
At all, this thread is a good start, if you are looking for something this phone related.

Thank you for the prompt reply, here's the info. The boot menu is now frozen so will have to remove the battery to try again and flash with that recovery you recommended. The link for TWRP 2.8.4.0 touch recovery on that thread is now dead. Is the latest version from here on (https://twrp.me/devices/htconesvlte.html) ok? It appears that
twrp-2.8.5.0-k2_ul.img is the newest compatible. Will this replace the stock recovery (that presently is likely the wrong one as the file on the other thread was non downloadable for me from app.box.com. Another link would be great, assuming its the correct file.
My aim is to get this phone working again, initially as stock jellybean 4.22 so it can be used then maybe experiment. As of now its still S-ON and unrooted but with an unlocked bootloader, but wont work at all.

You don't need stock recovery (anymore). As your system won't boot, you need another way to get your phone working and the key for this is a custom recovery.

Your fastboot output seems to be some kind of "cutout". Should look like this:

This is good and the next step forward.
Now, from TWRP recovery, you have 2 options to get your system working:
- you can flash a stock or custom rom
- you can restore a stock backup
It's up to you now!

Ok thanks, not sure what you mean by it being a "cut out". Mine is a non SIM locked unbranded UK One SV. Prior to it going faulty it had never been flashed or rooted etc.

Bearing in mind that the bootloader is now unlocked , but its still is S-ON and unrooted what is the next step for me to recover the newest JB4.22 that I had earlier and have the phone rooted. Do I need to have S off before in order to flash a ROM back on?
I have already downloaded several files but not sure which is the correct one and the procedure.
I already have:
OTA_K2_UL_JB422_SENSE50_MR_HTC_Europe_3.11.401.1-2.14.401.6_release_338297mseg08soslxcubit.zip (431MB)

No, S-off needed.
I think the easiest way is to restore a TWRP backup: you can use this twrp backup to restore a working OS on your phone.
This is not to flash, you must use restore.
The location on ext_sdcard for the backup is:
\TWRP\BACKUPS"Put here the serial number of your device"\Backup files you have downloaded
Or the location where the files have to be that TWRP can recognise them, explained by another guy:
Modding.MyMind said:
TWRP (folder) >> BACKUPS (folder)>> Serial Device (folder)>> Name of Backup (folder)>> backup files
If those folders do not exist as listed above then make them. Serial device will be the devices actual serial number, by typing and entering, fastboot devices, will display the serial number. Name that folder as such.
The folder which is referred to the name of the backup you can simply call it whatever. For example, help_me_422.
Place backup files inside the "help_me_422" folder.
Go to main menu of the TWRP, click on restore, you backup will be on the external sdcard so insure you select that storage so the backup will appear as an option. Now select the backup. A list for system, boot, etc, etc will appear with boxes and a check in those boxes. Now swipe to restore.

Thank you for the info.
So as you said there is no need for S-Off now.
On 1st attempt the Restore failed as I put the zip file itself into the last folder as opposed to all the individual files themselves and their MD5's [boot.emmc.win, data.ext4.win, recovery.log, system.ext4.win]. The restore then said it completed successfully.
Still the phone will not work and gets stuck on startup with the HTC screen with the red development only version writing underneath.
I notice that the external SD card which shows its size next to it but the internal SD card is showing as 0MB. And also when the 1st restore failed it reported that it was unable to mount the Internal SD memory. The same is true after the restore success, it says unable to mount int_sd. (See pics below). is there a way to test the internal memory to see if there is another problem or does it need re partitioning, if this isn't done via the restore process itself?

Hm, sounds not so good...
Well, i don't know this TWRP version exactly, as it is long time ago i used it.
But go to the wipe menu and look, if there (or under wipe - advanced) is an option something like "repair broken filesystem" or so (can't remember exactly what it is called).
If yes, go there and try if this option can help.

on the main menu there is WIPE - that says it does a factory reset, Wipes Cache and Dalvik
Or
There is an Advanced as you remembered well where you can choose the partitions
Dalvik cache
Cache
Data
Int SD
Android Secure
SD card
System
Either you can select to wipe the selected partitions or with another button at the bottom Repair or Change File System
I selected IN_SD and clicked to Repair and it showed as being 0MB then Failed as per attached pics. I was able to repair the cache and Dalvik cache but the Int SD still saying unmountable. Same result not working.

Ok, it seems that you only have one chance for your phone, a ruu.
Download this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960683578
Rename the zip file to PL80IMG.zip (make sure it is not named PL80IMG.zip.zip) and copy it in the external sdcard.
As you are S-on, you need to lock your bootloader again, first. Do this with the fastboot cmd
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then boot into the bootloader and let the phone recognize the PL80IMG.zip. Confirm to update with vol+ and let it run until its finished.

Ok now while having selected the Int SD partition instead of selecting Repair I selected Change File System and then in there selected FAT, it completed and has gone back to this menu but now shows as being 4239MB as opposed to 0MB.
I will have another look at it later but presently its still not booting to the system.
Now in the Restore menu the Internal is showing 4239MB also instead of 0Mb.
So I'm trying a restore again. Fingers crossed....
This time no errors regarding mounting the Int SD but on Rebooting it goes to HTC with red writing for 30 sec then goes off.

Give the Ruu a try. It should restore everything to stock, if possible.

Thanks i posted the last post before seeing your reply about the RUU. I will give that a go and report back. After i tried the restore again (after the int Sd came back) the int sd again went back to 0MB and being unmountable. i had to fix it and format again for it to reappear as 4gb.
I relocked the bootloader so it now says Tampered and Relocked.
Re booted into the bootloader with the Ext sd card in with the PL80IMG.zip. at its root. (MD5 all ok)
First it says loading... [PL80DIAG.zip]
No Image!
Then loading... [PL80DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Then Loading... [PL80IMG.zip]
After finding it it then says
Checking....[PL80IMG.zip]
But then remains in the bootloader after a minute or two when finished. Nothing happens for me to confirm with Vol+. I have no option to update?
If I choose Recovery from the bootloader it immediately just reboots to the bootloader again.
in fact whatever i do now it just goes straight back to the bootloader.

Ok, in this case i think you are out of luck. Sorry to say, but something seems broken, which even a ruu can't fix.

Just a thought, correct me if I'm wrong. Does the RUU require a working Recovery? If you remember my Recovery was previously corrupted I believe and before putting on TWRP there was no working stock recovery. Now TWRP is no longer available (because the bootloader is re-locked?) there is no working stock recovery to revert to in order to flash the RUU. If this is so is there a way to unlock the bootloader then put back a correct stock Recovery then re-lock it and use the RUU?

No, usually not. The Ruu has the stock file itself inside.
But, of course, you can try it. In this case you need to unlock bootloader again, then you can flash it with fastboot cmd.
I can upload the recovery.img if you want.
For the unlock you can use the already existing unlock_code.bin, i think.

Well it's worth a go I guess. Thank you that Recovery image would be very useful as I was unable to locate it or download from the app box link. My friend still uses his One SV so could come in useful at some point anyway.
I've re-Unlocked the Bootloader again and TWRP is still present and working when I select Recovery.
I'll wait for your new upload of the correct stock Recovery image and try with that.
Thanks again
