Pattern lock (factory defaults / official 3.34.401.1 flash) - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Maybe someone could push me in the right direction here. I unlocked my HTC U11 and went searching for a good CFW with MHL support. Sadly many don't have decent MHL support, thanks Google! I went into recovery steps, locked the bootloader and flashed official 3.34.401.1 rom. That went fine, but now the phone is stuck at the pattern screen.
Phone works fine, but the pattern is not set by me, almost as if the stock firmware has some secret pattern. It won't ask me to setup my google account and factory defaults doesn't fix the issue.
Current rom file: 2PZCIMG_OCEAN_UHL_P90_SENSE10GP_MR_HTC_Europe_3.34.401.1_Radio_8998-200321-1905141529_release_signed.zip

To the one/those answering:
How can one have 0 slots?
That's odd, isn't it? I mean there are a/b partitioned devices and 'a' partioned devices out there.
So the slot-count is either 2 (a/b) or 1 (a).
To @ristodesign: Before flashing you had no pattern? And you did a factory data reset with your recovery?

Hi, yes. I tested LineageOS and Goole PixelExperience, but should have known there was no MHL support. Then I tried Viper and LeeDroid, but those didn't enable Wifi somehow.
Then decided to get back to the stock ROM provided by Ziand: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962575313
Locked the bootloader and renamed the rom file to 2PZCIMG.zip so I could restore from booting in download. File was accepted and everything went back to normal. Got a welcome screen, was forced to enable wifi, then suddenly some pattern lock, which does not give any option to escape. Perviously used patterns are certainly not working.
Factory reset does not clear the pattern lock. Which makes me quite unique I guess. ;-)

Maybe you can try to boot twrp and see if it asks to decrypt?
The thing is: Passwords, pins, patterns etc. should be stored in the userdata partition. If you wipe this partition, the pattern should be gone.
However, if you manage to boot twrp and to have the userdata partition decrypted (go to /data and see if those entries aren't "randomized" letters), we should be able to delete this manually.
Else I'd like to know whether that pattern has been coded into the update zip you applied... Don't know how to accomplish that, however. But I'll see if I figure out something for the case twrp doesn't work.

You could also try another file like this one from here: https://htcstockrom.com/htc-u11

Will try to get trwp back on the device. It was removed and USB debugging probably disabled.
I did try the rom at https://htcstockrom.com/htc-u11 , after all those Visual C++ x86/x64 fixes it finally worked to start, but at the end it wouldn't accept to downgrade 3.34.401.1 to 2.42.617.7.

I see.
You only need to boot twrp temporarily, no need to flash it. Just do:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
EDIT: What if you reflash LineageOS and then the older firmware mentioned above?
LineageOS should allow downgrades.

Good idea, i tried with this result:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [2.4sec]
booting...
(Then it stops)
Phone screen shows:
Flash image succes
Start downloading (1/1)
It stops there.

Oh, well...
That's strange... Then go for the method you already know.
What did you do earlier to flash twrp? Same command but "flash boot"?
EDIT:
I think you flashed it using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
right?
If so, maybe you can boot it somehow similar like this:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
.

Earlier I had to unlock the phone with the HTC Dev website. I created an Unlock_code.bin file. But if I try to flash now it will not accept.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.002s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) flash unlocktoken
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
So USB debugging and the OEM lock seems to have set to default by flashing the stock rom.

Nope, it does not. When I try to flash it states that the bootloader is locked. The phone screen shows:
HTC download mode
*** RELOCKED ***
*** PRODUCTION ***
htc_ocnuhl PVT S-ON
yada yada yada... ;-)

Well, maybe you should research how to unlock an relocked bootloader.
I heard that some bootloader won't unlock again after relocking, which is why I never relocked my devices bootloader...

Hehe, yes it might be not too smart but it was the fastest solution as I could not find a working MHL CFW. I'll give my kids some money if they can find the pattern lol.

As long as you have access to the boot loader and/or fastboot, you're not bricked. You can technically flash Universal firmware and a recovery to get around this but you might want to flash an RUU as it'll boot you into a ROM and give you a working setup to play with.
Since you're S-OFF download and flash an RUU via fastboot, upgrade or downgrade; it makes very little difference as it will put you in a position to flash a recovery and or universal firmware.
A note on RIL/Basebands, 3.32 and 3.33 have no adverse effects of using a non matching RIL baseband so long as your WiFi and mobile network works, you should be good.
P.S: remove your SN & IMEI from your post

I skimmed over your other thread, and you probably should have tried a kernel with BCM drivers if you haven't already.
Try with a different (and known to work) USB.
Also, make sure HTC Sync is closed and that you run the RUU as administrator.

You're S-OFF, however your bootloader is locked. Meaning commands are locked, S-OFF disables security allowing you to flash things without being signed by HTC.
Could you try this:

fastboot oem rebootRUU (if you get SDcard errors, take out your SDCard and try again)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip

That's odd. Insert your SDCard after formatting it and placing the PG58IMG.zip on it. Then reboot into bootloader. See if it works, and let me know.

Fail-PU errors generally correspond to firmware corruption
Which is pretty hard to solve
If Op can exactly tell flashing what caused this issue
Maybe we can have a chance
Btw can the phone go to recovery?
Also how did the patched hboot flash went?

Hm, really strange behavior, had couple of HTC phones but never seen something like this happening.
I did run RUU (first changed cid and relocked), everything went fine (no errors), but still cannot boot. My experience so far was that if RUU runs fine, you should boot without problem. Thinking more and more that there is some hardware problem, that is causing phone to bootloop.
If anyone has any idea, I would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks

According to your first post, everything seems to be okay. Your drivers are seeing the phone, and the phone is recognizing its hardware.
Which recoveries did you try to flash? (TWRP, CWM)
And which version?
Have you tried to reroot the device and flash a recovery again since running the RUU?
From my experience with running an RUU, you should be able to boot right away. What were the steps you took (in order) before you ran the RUU?
Sorry for all the questions, trying to establish a scenario.
[EDIT] Also, I see that you got the initial recovery from the CM11 ROM page. You didn't happen to flash a ROM that is meant for HBOOT 2.16 did you? I sure hope not. That could be a possibility as to why you can not boot anything.

You mean reunlock, not reroot, right? I've done reunlock so I could flash recovery.
From my experience with running an RUU, you should be able to boot right away. What were the steps you took (in order) before you ran the RUU?

I would run:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and then start RUU.
Sorry for all the questions, trying to establish a scenario.

You are welcome and thanks for the help.
[EDIT] Also, I see that you got the initial recovery from the CM11 ROM page. You didn't happen to flash a ROM that is meant for HBOOT 2.16 did you? I sure hope not. That could be a possibility as to why you can not boot anything.

I've tried both. fastboot flash recovery imgname would work fine, but I would again finish in bootloop after restart.

Try getting into bootloader and pushing the kernel this way: fastboot flash boot boot.img
you don't have to be in recovery for this. The phone is s-on right?
[edit] actually your security says it's off.

No, it didn't work, this is something more serious
I've basically tried all I could think of, from doing RUUs (3 of them), flashing boot and recovery images, going 2.15, 2.16, locking/unlocking (obviously) and finally going S-On (ok, might be stupid, but I run out of ideas).
Bottom line is that all of the flashing worked for me, I get no error, but even simple fastboot boot recovery.img brings back the bootloop.
For example:
>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ville-selinux.img
sending 'recovery' (8668 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.108s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.059s]
finished. total time: 3.173s
>fastboot reboot
and if I hold Vol- and select recovery in bootloader I am back to bootloop.
Same thing if I try:
>fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ville-selinux.img
I just do not understand why I am not getting any error message when flushing and is it possible that there is something wrong with the hardware that causes this behavior...

Sounds like you have a soft brick on your hands.
Can you boot the device at all, stock or custom ROM?
Maybe reverting to COMPLETE STOCK and starting over fresh will help?
What was the last thing you did right before you got stuck?

No, I cannot boot, after RUU that runs fine, phone still bootloops and only thing I can do is go into bootloader.
When you say COMPLETE STOCK, you mean RUU, right?
I was talking on the phone and phone restarted. After that I was able to boot after many tries, after restart, could not boot and than tried RUU etc...

And here we are. Do you happen to have the old All In One Kit that became obsolete, by hasoon2000? It has the function to flash your recovery back to stock. I found two mirrors on the internet, but because of the rules, I can't post them. But they are accessible through the internets if you use the right keywords.

Hi,
Bootloop is normal for ROM geeks.
In your case, it seems your phone has issue with version of Recovery. I had this issue too and found correct Recovery @ http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ville ....
You can give a try..:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Have you tried this? :
--> flash STOCK recovery via fastboot or toolkit
--> Boot to bootloader --> Factory Reset(Userdata) / Clear Stotage (SD-card) (these commands only work with STOCK recovery)
Before I got the same problem, so in Bootloader I did Factory Reset and then flash the Recovery TWRP 2.6.3.0. Now it works

Software Information Screen

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.

I have a new problem.
I will start at the beginning. I was running stock htc oreo. I really wanted to install viperu 1.7. I assumed that I needed to reinstall nougat. I attemped to use the htc ruu to roll back. This failed. I booted into twrp and performed a wipe and restore to a known good nougat backup. When I rebooted the device started to boot gets past the htc logo and the shuts off. Thinking that something failed I rebooted into twrp and attempted to reinstall a stock zip. This fails to install. I wiped again and installed viperu 1.7 everything installs properly per the viper install guide. When the phone reboots it starts to install the apps. It finishes but shuts off. I connected it to a charger and booted the phone and attempted to boot but shuts off.
Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong and how to fix it.
thanks in advance.
Without s-off, the older ruu will not work. Probably older rom on newer firmware may not work. Download stock backup 2.xx.xxx.x and restore in twrp and do not forget full wipe before restoring backup

Do you have a stock backup 2.xx.xxx.x or know where I can get one. I looked online but they dont have 2.x on the list.

You saved me. I am extremely grateful of your knowledge. I thought I flushed 700 buck down the drain.
Whats the best way to revert back to nougat so I can flash to viperu 1.7. Right now I am on 2.31.617.2 from the backup you sent me to in the link. I do need to root the phone but have not attempted yet. I was planning to root the phone at the same time as installing viperu. Much thanks again.

Can't roll back to 7.1.1 yet. You need to be S-Off and Sunshine isn't fully working on Oreo at this time.
But there is a ViperU Oreo Rom available now. If you want, to just flash it and sick with 8.0.

The viper rom for oreo doesn't really work right yet and they're working on it. I'm using stock with magisk beta 14.5. Substratum works a bit too.

Stuck in bootloader when update to OREO.

My HTC U11 always stuck in bootloader saying I use an unauthorized software everytime I update to Android Oreo ( official OTA update).
Even if I use RUU to 8.0.
The only thing I can boot my phone is when I use Nougat Rom. Even Costum Rom not helping. It;s very weird that I cannot update to 8.0.
I try leedroid Rom, also same, got back to Bootloader. So I need to reflash the 7.1.1 Rom to enable to boot.
My phone is S-Off with Bootloader Unlocked.
When I try to relock bootloader it will say something like
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: -0.000s
In the Menu is greyed out saying bootloader already unlock.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Any RUU, any costum Rom based on Android 8.0 give me error.
Other than that, all 7.1.1 Roms / RUU boots just fine.
It's Sprint Unit , S-Off , and change to BS-US001
return to sprint Rom also no use.
I can receive OTA no problem.
After OTA to 8.0 stuck in Bootloader again saying same error.

Well that's it actually. The device only accepts CDMA sprint updates. So it would have to be rebranded and RUU'd back to Sprint to receive updates again. But are you really using an HTC U11? The fastboot command mentions a slot which in general only applies to Treble enabled devices.

Ruu back to sprint. Also cannot upgrade to 8.0. Even on OTA update. Yes its U11.
Any help ? it only works with 7.0 Rom. I try almost everything.
