HTC One cant figure out what I need to do - General Questions and Answers

I have an HTC One M7 from sprint that I owned for not even 6 months before it started randomly bootlooping and losing signal. I gave up on it and used it as a paper weight, but now I would like to finally get it functional again as my old phone is no longer usable. I am new to Android devices. I have read thread after thread for the past 2 days and have yet to fix this phone.
I have cleared all caches and done factory resets to no avail.
The phone is stuck in bootloop if it is allowed to restart as normal. Once booted, it will immediately reboot if you swipe to unlock. If you wait, it will display "com.htc.htcdialer not responding" before rebooting again. It does not bootloop if you put it into bootloader/fastboot/recovery whatever you call it. I am trying to just load Android Revolution on to the phone instead of retrying the old OS.
I have already unlocked bootloader. I originally tried to push the androidrevolution.zip to the phone, but ADB gave an "error: device not recognized". I tried to install twrp recovery, but fastboot gets stuck at "waiting on device". I understand I'm having issues with the PC not recognizing the phone. The only android thing in device manager is "Android 1.0" and it has no driver installed. I have installed multiple drivers and tried different ports and cables. I cannot use PDANet to install drivers to recognize it because I cannot get access to the phone to enable debug mode. I cannot use sideloading because I can't get the device to be recognized. Everything I try seems like a constant circle.
I don't know if I'm giving enough information or not. I'll answer any question/give whatever info you need to solve this.
Can anyone please give me any insight as to how I can get my phone to work before I get angrier and break it?

Has anyone else been in the same boat? Still struggling to figure this out.

If its a software related error you can get rid of it by flashing (installing) the stock firmware again. First you ned to check HBoot and CID. Connect your phone in "fastboot" bode, open commandline and type
fastboot getvar all
Post the output here (Delete your IMEI). Then i will get the right firmware for you and can guide you how to install it.
If the error is hardware related (signal loss?!) you probably can't do much on your own. What brings me no the next question: If you had the phone for just 6 month when the errors occured first, why didn't you let the vendor fix it? Phone still had guarantee.

It just says :
Waiting for device
My computer won't recognize the phone properly.
I took my phone to sprint and was told I would have to pay $65 for a used phone replacement, which I thought was ridiculous. I contacted HTC and was told I would have to pay shipping to send it in, and would be a week before I got an answer for it. (Fix it or refurbished one). So I said screw it, and reactivated my old phone. I'd fix it myself eventually.

Make sure you install the "fastboot" driver correctly. Are you running win 8.1?

I'm pretty positive it's installed correctly. I've deleted it and reinstalled it 3 times. The first two times I did it all manually. The one I'm currently running I got from here:

I meant the HTC driver (for fastboot) -> Your devices must be listed as "My HTC" in the device manager. If it has a yellow exclamation mark, try to install the driver manually for "My HTC".

I also had once a problem with HTC drivers, I downloaded HTC Sync Manager and then i connected my device after my pc got all drivers i closed HTC sync and i was able to use fastboot.
Give it a try!

I had done that before but it didn't work. I tried it again but this time noticed a windows protection blocking it. I disabled it and got it all to work now!
I put the new rom on the phone but it gets stuck at the HTC screen and never loads. I read that I have to change the CID and change to S-OFF for it to work.
However, now I've got another problem that I can't find a solution to ANYWHERE.
I cannot get the phone to S-OFF. Everytime I try to change my CID I get this:
C:\Android>fastboot oem readcid
...
(bootloader) cid: SPCS_001
OKAY [ 0.004s]

I've tried manually changing the CID and using a CID script and both keep giving me the "[JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error".

Is your phone already S-OFF ? Uninstall HTC sync before changing the CID. If you want to flash a unbranded firmware later, make sure that its compatible with your MID.
BTW
Why don't you flash the sprint firmware again to check if your error got fixed.

No, the phone says it's S-ON. If I uninstall HTC Sync, won't that remove the drivers I needed to get my computer to recognize my phone?
I'm sorry I'm new to this, but what is MID?
I thought about retrying the original sprint firmware but I'd honestly rather just try out a new custom one.

Just relock your bootloader to use the ruu BUT if your phone is S-ON you can only RUUs that are newer or the same version number as actually installed on the phone. You can safely uninstall HTC sync, drivers persist.

The RUU link I posted is LP and was just released. Should be newer than what he was running.

Help!!!Messed it up

Hello dear members, Ok to start with I am having One X at&t and I am using it at the moment in Pakistan. It is sim unlocked. I was new to this rooting stuff but I already had a lot of experience with jailbreaking iphone stuff so I thought there should be no problem.
I started with rooting and after going through all the threads on this forum plus other websites I was able to root my cell and then I unlocked the bootloader. I was having difficulty with the drivers as I am using windows 8 but somehow managed to fix it (Thanks to xda forums).At this point I thought of upgrading to ota update but since I am out of range of at&t so I tried to manually install it by PC. Now when I tried to install, it was stuck on waiting for bootloader menu and then ultimately gave "error 171" "please check if your phone is connected by USB cable" .I checked the drivers they are properly installed and device manager recognizes my phone in bootloader menu too. I again surfed the net and forums and realized I have to relock the bootloader before installing RUU. So I relocked the bootloader by "fastboot oem lock" command and then tried again but no luck. But this time this thing happened when the cell screen was stuck at "blank screen+htc logo" and I got the error 171, I restarted my device and it automatically opened bootloader menu which on the top says *tampered* then *relocked* and then *security warning". I rebooted again and the phone is in working condition as of now but when I enter the bootloader menu first it says this is build verison for htc only blah blah and then there is security warning in bootloader menu.
I now just want to get my phone in the stock condition and then update it to RUU 2.20 . Can anyone help me with it?
Sorry for such a long and boring post but I tried to make my point clear.
I have attached the pics of my software info incase they may help.
Plus this is the info I get in bootloader menu:
Evita PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.09.0000
RADIO-0.17.32.09.12
OPENDSP-v28.1.0.32.0504
eMMC-boot

Ok so the tampered flag is due to you rooting your phone. It will go away if you RUU back to stock. The relocked flag will not go away even if you go back to stock. The security warning when it loads up the kernel (that red text that says "This build if for development purposes only yada yada yada") is nothing, don't even worry about it, we all have it once we start messing with our phones.
Anyway...Did you install HTC Sync on your PC? That installs all the necessary drivers to make sure your phone is recognized. I don't really know how Windows 8 behaves with our phone but if you have HTC Sync and the drivers installed and it still doesn't work then I would try borrowing a friend's Win7 computer and trying it there.
When you're in the bootloader and go to the fastboot menu does it say FASTBOOT USB at the top when you have it plugged in?

Thanks for replying. Yes it does says FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red. And yes I have installed HTC Sync which apparantely didn't install the required drivers and I had to install them manually from device manager but they are properly installed now as there is yellow triangle in device manager and it recognizes my phone as "android adb interface" when the phone is in bootloader menu and "android composite ABD interface " when the phone is on.

Hmmm... I'm not sure anymore. Did you try using another usb port? It sounds stupid but I've had more than one instance of certain usb ports not doing what they should because of drivers only being installed/recognizing certain ports.
Which RUU did you try running? The 2.20 or the 1.85?

Can never understand why people who are rooted and bootloader unlocked want to install 2.20 OTA or RUU. You will lose ability to flash kernels using recovery.
Consider it a blessing that the RUU did not install. There is no benefit to installing the 2.20 RUU. just flash the pre-rooted stock 2.20 in the Development forum. Better yet, rooted stock 2.23, which is newer, or custom ROMs based on 2.23 or 2.29.

yep. new Hboot locks down the boot partition. This is a good thing IMHO less bricks due to flashing ROMS meant for the Tegra 3 HOX.
fastboot still works for boot.img.
More importantly it WP's hboot. Good for some users (such as OP), bad for others.

Rooting/Boot Unlocking One X - I have tried everything, this is my last resort.

I have literally tried EVERYTHING. I have spent countless hours and actually did not go to sleep last night trying to figure this damn thing out.
I have a HTC One X running Android Version 4.0.4, HTC Sense 4.0, and Software 2.20.
I cannot figure this **** out. Right now when I run the X-Factor exploit, it gets stuck at "daemon started succesfully". When I run the HTC Drivers.exe that come with Hasoon2000's All in one kit, it doesn't even run. It does nothing.
I have restarted my computer numerous times, and I am stuck. So I'm offering this:
Anyone who helps me/leads me in the correct direction to rooting and bootunlocking my ATT One X so I can install Cyanogenmod 10,
I will give you $25 [PayPal]
I am desperate, and just want this to work.

[+] Press enter once the device has finished booting into bootloader mode.
Press any key to continue.

If I hit continue it says

I'm currently following your guide. I downloaded your drivers. Do I just drag and drop all of these driver files into my drivers folder in system32?
I tried doing that earlier with I think the same drivers and It didnt work.
When I plug up my HTC One X, it doesn't show up as a adb device, it shows up as My HTC.

It would be more helpful to list the things you tried, instead of just saying "literally everything".
Does adb see the phone?
Did you try different USB ports or cables? Tried a different computer (if possible)?

I'm not sure by what you mean of "does adb see the phone?
If you mean if I open up device manager and it says "adb device", then no, adb does not see it.
I did try different USB cables, I'll try a different port now.
I do not have any access to any other computer at the moment, so no.
Thanks for your time, by the way.
Install HTC sync. It will install the drivers.

Have you tried updating drivers manually? His toolkit did thesame to me but I just went to:
Right click Computer -> Manage -> driver manager
and updated my drivers from there.
EDIT: Try the post above mine, before this. I didn't even think of that, HTC Sync will install that latest drivers.
Aldo, this is technically a question so it shouldn't be here. It should be in Q&A
The problem is almost certainly the HTC drivers. Otherwise your computer won't see the phone.
You have to do this with just about every new device you root, unless you're staying with the same manufacturer.

Do you have the international version of the phone, or the US version?
it WILL work using the X-factor exploit.
Three main steps:
1.) Download SYNC to ensure latest drivers here
2.) make sure to RIGHT CLICK and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR (that took me f'in 27 minutes to realize)
3.) follow all on screen instructions.

Check to make sure your use debugging is on, try it. If that doesn't work... I would like to see the prompt. May have to do this through teamviewer.
Drivers may be the problem. I didn't have quite the same problem he is having( fastboot and adb didn't wont to see my device.) Spent 3 days trying to fiqure it out. Finally I gave up and installed Mac Os X on vmware and ran the mac version of x-factor and then I had no problems. You might want to try that. It was the only thing that worked for me. Htc sync, pda net, and reinstalling the driver never helped me. No matter what I did I never could get windows to see my device.

Can you update hboot without updating stock ROM?

Hey guys, I just got 2 HTC Sensation 4Gs off of Craigslist, they are both still running Gingerbread. I want to root and custom rom, but I'm aware that I cannot install newer ICS+ ROMs without updateing the hboot.
My question is, is it easier to HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID, and THEN update the hboot. Or update the phone with the official ICS update (thus also updating the hboot) and THEN HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID?
I've already had experience rooting and s-off(ing) 2 ICS sensations, but don't know if I could do it easier if I don't update them first.
If it is easier to update the hboot after rooting Gingerbread, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.
Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. question though, is the latest 3.33 okay to use on T-Mobile? Or is there a more T-Mobile optimised version I should use?

It says enter Serial Number on Revolutionary IO. Does it mean the S/N beneath the battery or the IMEI? Both are getting accepted and I'm being given 2 different keys. I'm pretty confident that it means the S/N so that's what i'm going to try. Is that correct?

Okay cool. And it doesn't seem to detect my phone. I had the drivers installed already, but no matter what mode the phone is in the Revolutionary.exe isn't finding it. I'm on Windows XP

Maybe I need an SD in the phone?

Hi,
Yes,you need a sd card.
It is far easier to s-off with revolutionary,so it is worth the effort to find the correct drivers,and re-install them(and reboot the pc)
Also try different usb slots,and a different cable if you have one.

Okay, thanks. I'll also try doing it in Linux Mint. I'll let you know if I need more help.
But one last question. In step one it says:
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

Hi,
Like I said, it has been a while,and I cannot remember how the thing went.
But I do remember no great difficulty following the thread .
Do you run the utility on your pc,then,plug the phone in?

No, I plug the phone in and then start the utility. It wouldn't find it though so I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. But I can't restart my PC right now. In 90 minutes I can though. (watching a live stream with family)
I'll let you know if I get it working, whether through windows or linux.
Ugh, my PC is saying that USBcoinstaller.dll is missing. Any idea how to get it? I can't find it by searching google.
Maybe I have to download the android SDK. Didn't need to before when I rooted my ICS sensation a few months ago. But maybe I have to for gingerbread.

Hi,
As well as installing sdk,have you tried installing the latest HTCSync?
I'm trying that to. Hopefully it'll get it working.

Okay, I'm having problems. I tried following [GUIDE] (For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers and now my ADB isn't working!
I tried downloading and installing the recommended SDK zip and it wasn't giving me the files he said it would, then I installed revision 9 and 15 because it said it neded them, they ended up bringing "Platform-tools" which contains another ADB.exe, and it won't let me delete it. I tried installing the latest HTC Sync and it doesn't find my phone. It still gives me the error about USBCoInstaller.dll I am going to reboot my PC but I honestly don't know what I did or how to fix it. Everytime I start any ADB including revolutionary.exe it pops open does a TON of text for a split second and then closes again. Any Suggestions after I reboot?
Edit: actually revolutionary.exe pops open and closes quickly without displaying anything.
My brother fixed it. apparently I want thinking about the fact that HTC sync can't be installed. And the driver wasn't completely installed, which he solved as well. So we're now using revolutionary.

[Q] Getting Error 170 while trying to RUU to 3.18...what am I doing wrong?

As the title says: I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU for my AT&T HTC One X. I'm currently on an old build of CM10.1 (beautifully maintained by H8rift) and was wanting to try the latest build he posted with the 3.4 Kernel. I am S-Off and Unlocked. I searched the forum (internal search seems to be broken at the moment) and all I keep seeing is mostly go to fastboot THEN run the RUU. Well I'm in fastboot (enabled the menu from within CM...less I just misunderstood that completely). Fastboot shows "Fastboot USB" but the RUU still gives Error 170. What did I do wrong?
Running this on a Windows 8 x64 system, installed HTC Sync Manager (still didn't help). I updated the Android SDK Tools to the latest version. My CID is all 1's (as per the S-Off directions). I'm at a loss here hehe.
Ooh I have TWRP 2.4.1.0. And yes I barely post, just always looking, reading, etc.
Is the USB port you're using 2.0 or 3.0? If it's 3.0 (it should have the USB icon and a little ss) try switching to 2.0. Also, try running RUU while not in fastboot.

Yup running it on my USB 2.0 ports. Tried my case ports and the motherboard ones, same thing. Also just tried it with the phone booted. No dice. Even using the HTC USB Cable (not like there should be a difference but hey, just in case). Maybe I should threaten the phone...with a hammer. (Nah I'm not that mean).

It seems to me like a driver issue.
if while in fastboot mode fastboot devices does not show the device, The RUU will not work.
uninstall HTC driver and HTC sync and any other phone software (for samsung or whatever else)
Install latest HTC sync
make sure fastboot devices lists your device, then run the RUU

Roll, yah USB Debugging is on hehe. I even turned it off and back on. Exad: Ok. Uninstalling both HTC Sync and Samsung Kies (have to use that for my brother's Galaxy S2 Skyrocket). Uninstalling both now (might have to also run out of town so reply could be a little late).

Hey you said you were on Windows 8. You may have to manually install the driver to get it work, that's what I had to do. Or you could use the universal adb driver, but if you're gonna RUU, I'd be safe and use the HTC one.

Alrite after removing both managers (HTC and Samsung), reinstalling, and then having to turn off debugging then turn it back on...it now sees it
HT25CW****** device (first said offline but I looked at the phone and noticed it was asking for permission).
Time to continue flashing! I think what happened is I had the universal USB drivers but then had to install KIES for my bro so it replaced them. Then installing HTC on top of that made it give up. Thanks you two! I'll post if I have any other strange issues.

Annd now when I was all set to update to his latest one he posted, H8rift goes and begins posting nightlies and I don't have to downgrade touchpanel firmware! Hahaha (I had downgraded it and was about to install)! Still, thank you guys. I'm back in business!
Dear Turbo Mach 5,
Could you please provide the detailed steps you followed to RUU your ATT HTC One X.
I am also planning to update my ATT HTC One X with 3.18 RUU to use CM 10.2 based roms.
Please provide this information which will help me to start with my device.
1) Whether we need to re-lock the bootloader ? (I have SuperCID and S-Off)
2) After RUU ing whether we need to unclok the boot loader and root the device if we have SuperCID and S-off?
Thanks and Regards,
Sathish.

You don't need to relock your bootloader to the run the RUU because you have s-off. And your s-off status and unlocked bootloader should survive the RUU process. All you need to do afterwards is flash TWRP recovery again, then you can flash a ROM. Please be aware that cm10.2 is still very alpha and multiple users have reported bricks from running it.

Hi timmaaa,
Thank You very much for the clarification and update on cm 10.2 rom.
I was thinking with RUU my bootloader is going to re-lock even though I have S-off.
Thanks and Regards,
Sathish.

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the RUU as well. The problem seems to be getting the usb driver for my oneXL working. every time i plug it into my win7 pc, it goes through this installing drivers process but having clicked on "display details", the "android phone" component of the drivers says "failed". I've tried universal adb driver, and HTC usb driver with and without htc sync installed. the HTC sync manager keeps saying there is an update available for usb driver, even though I uninstalled the driver manager and htc sync.
Have not been able to get adb working, when i recently S_OFF my phone I had to use adb over wifi - but it worked.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!
Your post is a bit confusing as to which drivers you actually have installed. Download the latest HTC Sync Manager from the HTC One XL page at HTC.com, install it, connect your phone, drivers will install, uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave drivers installed. Also, make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port and the HTC cable that came with the phone.

[Q] Can't install cyanogen mod on HTC Sensation Z710a

Hi!
I have a HTC Sensation that I would like to put Cyanogenmod on but no matter what I do I can't get anywhere. Also I'm 100% new to installing custom ROMs/Rooting. I can't do revolutionary because my HBOOT is 1.27.0000 so I found out there is a way to unlock it from the HTC Dev site but that doesn't work either because it keeps saying 'Waiting for device'. I have seen about 5 articles that say how to fix this problem (Check drivers, change USB Port, move certain files, etc) but after trying every single one nothing has changed. One said to use HTC Sync to get the drivers but my phone can't find HTC Sync on my computer and HTC Sync can't find my phone.
I have used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 but I can't get past unlocking bootloader. Any help would be very much appreciated!!!
Thanks!

EDIT: I installed it and it still says waiting for device. I will look at some other posts.
EDIT #2: Also tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/tutorial-installing-adb-fastboot-t1982718 but still says waiting for device. Starting to think maybe my phone is completely against me changing the OS.
