Phone will only boot into bootloader. Not even Recovery Works...

[asscancer]

I tried unrooting following this guide but it didn't work. I realize now that THIS is what went wrong, although to be fair to me I had done this before with the numbers not matching and everything turned out ok. But that was then. What can I do?

Also, here is the error message I get. http://i.imgur.com/9zdyjPi.png

Try re installing the recovery through adb.

Ok well I just re-unlocked the phone's bootloader and the phone boots up fine even the recovery. Any idea on why the phone has a different image version? I am running a modified stock ROM, think that could have something to do with it?

If so, should I just flash the stock ROM?

 

[pergerson6]

You unlocked the bootloader while it was already unlocked?

I relocked it then tried the RUU thing. That didn't work so I came here. Then I unlocked it again and it boots up fine but I need to have it locked and returned to stock because it won't charge anymore and I'm going to return it.

I had to RUU once after flashing an incompatible Rom, and reflash my recovery after a install fail. Hope everything works out.

Well that's the thing. I tried everything and I'm back to square one.

I can't RUU because my "image" is wrong...whatever that means. And when I do re-lock the phone I get a "security warning" message. That wasn't there before.

If it happens to say security warning its simply your boot loader is most likely locked and it will only boot from a secure boot meaning only the stock rom will boot re unlock your boot loader it will erase everything but the rom you had it will boot back into it

IF YOU FLASHED AN INCOMPATIBLE ROM TRY TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND SIDE LOAD A ROM YOU CAN MOST LIKELY USE THE ROOT KIT TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY

Ok well I'm able to boot into the phone, but like I said before only when I unlock the bootloader. If I lock the bootloader and attempt to RUU, it doesn't work and causes the phone to only boot into bootloader, nothing else.

I just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm about flash OMJ's Sprint One rom and try to do the RUU thing again following the video. I just hope my "Image version" is right this time.

EDIT: Oh and I guess I should add that I'm running the latest build of Flex360's "Stock with Goodies ROM", if that means anything.

 

[asscancer]

Ok well the "Image version" is still the same. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: How can I have the wrong bootloader version? I'm guessing this is what it means by wrong image version?

there is not RUU for 1.31 yet as far as I know, the issue is that you updated, you cannot RUU back down to a lower version, the way to go back down is to flash a rom based on 1.29 first and then RUU back to stock, if thats what you want to do, also check out [RUU] Sprint HTC One | 1.29.651.10 | Encrypted | Decrypted | Stock Rooted ROM - xda-developers for more info

I dont think he's on the 1.31 ota because flex hasn't released the latest version as of yet.

if you look at his image from the RUU it shows he has 1.31 and trying to go to 1.29

Well there's your answer to the issue at hand. Sorry about the confusion.

Ok if its not charging while the phone is off and if your running twrp as a recovery your not screwed twrp is notorious for not letting it charge while the phone is off and with any rom once you flash a new one go to the recovery and go to advanced and wipe the battery records and let it charge sometimes you can get some screwed up battery reading when in reality its fine but if the phones getting hot and not charging then yes you have a big problem

If you want an ruu that will pass with the boot loadef locked you need the odexed and encrypted version deodexed wont fly

I did happen to find this on xda tho
Download Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.7_RUU.zip
-extract zip to a folder on your pc
-boot into bootloader (various ways)
-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader
-from pc, run setup.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock

Here's the download link...
