Hi everyone,
I have been searching for hours and hours to find a solution to my issue. While there is an invalueable amount of information on this forum, the vast quantity can be confusing to NOOBs like myself. Please forgive me if this has already been asked but I did not see anyone discuss a situation such as mine.
I have an AT&T HTC One with the following info that became stuck on the "HTC" logo and then turns off after trying a manual update. To be honest, I am not sure what firmware was attempted to be flashed because I didnt do it myself. I am just trying to help a friend here.
From what I gather, I need to either root the phone using WeakSauce and then try to unlock the bootloader via the HTCDev website. The problem is the phone doesnt boot for me to install weaksauce so I cant get root. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction?
NOTES:
1. HTC Sync does not recognise my device - No phone connected
2. I can enter fastboot and see my device info in fastboot mode (command prompt)
3. The command (adb devices) shows no devices in the list
4. I believe USB debugging was never enabled when the phone was working.
Please, any help will be very much appreciated.

Anyone???...Please
As I mentioned before, this forum is like a gold mine for information. The only catch is, you have to spend hours upon hours to look for what you want to accoplish - don't expect anyone to help you even if it is a simple solution - I learned this the hard way!.
I wish someone had simply pointed to me that all I needed to do was flash the stock RUU (Hboot 2.18, Firmware 5.18 At&t) while the phone was in "fastboot USB". The device must me recognised as "Android ADB Composite Device" in device manager.
That's it! My phone is up and running now!
Note: My device bootloader was locked with S-ON and no USB debugging enabled.

At this moment, the phone does not start. Still see T-Mobile Logo. Nowhere is the software that needs RUU T-Mobile PL version such as above. Any other RUU doesn't work. ANY.

I tried to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919, but stops at this point: Modifying the version of your phone. I can't do this: Connect the phone using USB cable using "Charge ONLY" and USB Debugging is ON, because my phone doesn't start up. And everything stops at this point: "adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version". I see information: "There is no such direction". Anyone Can help me? In this moment I can't do anything and flash any RUU or any ROM. I can't start up my phone.
Take your IMEI number out off that straight away unless you want your phone being cloned!

so you mean that you already did it unlocking your bootloader then already installing custom recovery like 4ext or CMW right..?
if so...you can installing any custom rom (just choice rooted stock rom or closely like stock rom but already rooted) and flashing boot.img too after that (no needed to flashing boot.img again if you already using 4ext recovery and enabling smartflash from there)..
after your phone back booting normal again..then you can continued step to downgrade process for gaining s-off..that's just if you needed it..
hope this can help..
It's working Many many thanks!!!:laugh:
Hi,
I was running a Cyanogenmod 11 and I decided to want to get back to the original stock. I was try to go trough the "How to Restore HTC One X to Stock Rom" tutorial, but that didn't work, I tried to install the wrong RUU (3.14.401... but im forgot that I am already at 3.18.401) so installer did not finished I got the "wrong version error" and since then its a nightmare! :crying:
I tried to install cyanogenmod back but I can't I tried to install CWM and TWRP just the PhilZ touch 6 (PhilZ Touch 6.19.3/CWM 6.0.4.7)
After that, I wiped everything in PhilZ, but now the SDCard won't mount to transfer over the ROM and Gapps. Specifically, it comes up with the error: /storage/sdcard0: Shared-Unmounted
I have also tried adb but the device isn't found when using adb devices or adb shell. I tried to refresh the drivers I have the latest android, htc and google drivers (HTC sync, ADK tools, Google USB drivers)
I tried to install a new firmware but its failed every times, I tried to get super cid or S-ON but I cant access to my phone every time when i tried to use adb I got just the "devices not found" error
When I tried to mount it, it appears in device manager as 'One' with a yellow triangle, but otherwise it just appears as unknown device. Auto installing HTC MTP Device failes every time if i connect my phone to the PC while it is in the bootloader loop...
I am really appreciate any help as I'm no expert and there's nothing left I can do. Please help me I am working on it for more than a week I red at least a hundred article/forum about this issue... and now I bacame really depressed. :crying::crying::crying:
Thanks in advance!

Hi all!
Quick summary of me and this: Very new to all this, but upon release of Verizon m8, was able to unlock, s-off phone, change CID to 11111111, install an early version of ViperOne, and get it to work on T-Mobile's network (the goal). Lately, it started acting very funny and running slowly, not to mention it's inconsistency with T-mobile's network. So, I decided to change my ROM to Android Revolution 22.0, but I couldn't because my firmware was too old (4.4.2, software number 1.12.605.11). I've looked and looked, and tried and tried, but no matter what firmwares I try to load in adb bootloader (after changing CID to VZW__001 and relocking) I get the error my chosen firmware.zip doesn't recognize my modelID, error 41. I also went back to the stock verizon ROM when I did all this, and tried the "software update" tab under settings (didn't work either--probably because I'm on T-mobile now....though my service doesn't work on the Verizon ROM, anyway). I've looked everywhere and can't find an updated firmware that fits my model. I'm doing all of this on a Mac, by the way, so I can't really figure out how to change modelID(if that would work).
I promise, I've combed the forums, tried searching, went to 3 of those "We fix broken glass! Unlocked iPhones for sale!" type of private owned stores today, and nobody could help me, with 2 of them saying "go on xda" (thanks.). I know the answer is probably there, but I just can't figure it out. I've since changed my CID back to 11111111.
My getvar is below. PLEASE please help, I felt like I tried everything that is within my realm of knowledge without doing something dumb and bricking my phone. I have about 10 links open of forums and firmwares on my browser, and I still couldn't figure out the answer.

send me teamviewer info via PM and you won't have to leave your living room to fix it. Also edit your IMEI and SN out
Short answer. That MID check is protecting your from yourself. Only flash vzw firmware on vzw devices. And many roms you need to run vzw specific versions as well. Your device is not 100% the same as its gsm siblings. If you plan on running gsm carriers full time, I'd recommend you purchase a different variant.
Hi I just wanted to try the Maximus HD 10 and thought I did what was expected but something went wrong and now the phone is totally blank.. I am new to this but read alot in this forum before I began and I am used to computers etc. so I gave it a shot.. This is what I did:
Installed the Windroid Universal Toolkit to unlock the phone, and that went well. Then followed the instructions to install the Maximus HD 10 which also went well until I had to install the newer firmware.. From here things went really bad and after a lot of different wipes and things that I don't know anything about I am stuck with an useless device
I have searched all forums (I think) but with no luck, so if anyone know what I should do I would be really thankful.
And no.. I do not have a backup!!

Fastboot can communicate with the phone but ADB devices will not find the phone.
If I reboot the phone I only see the HTC start screen for a few seconds and then nothing.. It has TWRP on it which I can enter.
Please help me!
If you have TWRP you might download any ROM and flash it but since you're S-On don't forget to flash kernel in fastboot mode after you flash the ROM.
Kernel is the boot.img file on the root of the ROM zip. Extract it to PC and while in fastboot issue the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command.
For changing firmware you need S-Off which you don't have. To gain it you should flash first a close to stock ROM (like Viper for ex) then try to gain S-Off with rumrunner or another method. Then you can flash firmwares

Hi Rapier, thank you so much for your help. Now it's working again

Don't forget to do that after every ROM flash. If you'll get S-Off, you won't need to do that anymore

Hi Guys
I'm working on reviving a soft-bricked HTC One S (tmobile, I suspect S4)
I am unable to install any android ROM that I have been able to find, because HBOOT is still version 1.14, and they all require a higher version
TL;DR;
I think I just need a ROM that will install on a HTC ONE S (ville) for HBOOT version 1.14
I'm using an OSX machine, so I don't have the ability to run RUU.exe files. (is there a way to do this?) Attempts at flashing wiht RUU.zip have uniformly failed.
My attempts to upgrade HBOOT via the firmware upgrades with "fastboot flash zip <file>" have not had any luck, I suspect because the phone
is still S-ON (More or less following this instruction set http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39216236#post39216236 )
My attempts at to remove S-ON using this explanation ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155135 ) haven't had much for potentially one of two reasons:
Possible reason #1) Step 6 calls for a "fastboot oem boot", which then tries to boot, but there is no working android install. I tried working around this by calling "fastboot oem gotohboot" instead and then booting into recovery (TWRP).
possible reason #2) adb shell doesn't seem to have access to su for me. ("adb shell su" returns "/sbin/sh: su: not found"). I have been assuming that this is the actual problem. I am assuming that this is because I don't have superuser access.
The SuperBoot package doesn't seem to work ( I grabbed it from here http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=r1-ville-superboot.zip referred by http://www.android.gs/root-htc-one-s/ ). I *think* it doesn't work because there is no android version to boot into.
So in short it seems that:
Android requires higher HBOOT requires S-OFF requires Superuser requires Android
Thanks so much for any direction or help, or even just commiseration!
