Re: HTC One Stuck in Bootloader and Can't get into Recovery. HELP!!

okay so im having the same problem. im on hboot 1.56 it says tampered, relocked and security warning
im stuck in bootloader. i did everything you said.. when running the last command it sends it to my phone okay but i failed because the signature verify fail.
is there a fix or am i S.O.L?

Reboot back into the bootloader and when the security warning is gone try again

Re: HTC One Stuck in Bootloader and Can't get into Recovery. HELP!!

I am sorry, I do not post in forums like these very often, and im a super noob, but I was having the exact same issues as you. I tried everything I could find, to no avail.

There was one thing i did that seemed to work though. As I was trying the fastboot commands proposed by benny3, and trying some things on my own, I managed to get back into my recovery. These are the exact steps I took that let me get back into my recovery, where i was able to flash a new rom:

fastboot erase cache (of the commands proposed by benny3, this was the only one that worked for me)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (I flashed the latest CWM recovery for HTC One)

after that, i rebooted to recovery from the bootloader, and it came right up.

maybe this could work for you!

Thanks so much. I've been at this for hours trying to get out of the bootloader. I think this is what I had to do last time too. Now just to get the custom rom back on

Re: HTC One Stuck in Bootloader and Can't get into Recovery. HELP!!

I am having a similar issue with my inspire. I was able to get it to load after I took out the battery, SD and SIM for a few hours but now phone is in safe mode. If I try to restart to get out of safe mode it will get stuck in the boot screen again. I was given this phone so don't know if anything was done to it other than a factory reset. Any suggestions would be AWESOME!!

Hi guys, I had almost the same problem last night. I have a HTC one S (s4). After I installed a new rom, the system will stop at the HTC logo. Also I can not mount the USBSTORAGE to computer in recovery. So I decided to intall a new recovery from the fastboot. I tried the newest CWM recovery, but after I installed that using fastboot commands, I coundn't enter the recovery and the system kept to reboot again and again. Finally, I tried an older version of TWRP recovery, and it worked and I was able to enter the recovery and mount the usbstorage to computer and copy other ROMs to the SD card.

I guess maybe its because my hboot version is too old, so it is not compatible with the newest recovery and ROMs. So if you have the same problem and the can not enter the newest recovery, you may try an older one.

I have same problem with my international HTC One, I tried all the best I can do, but nothing work, I tried this method too, but it seems not work for me

You are just using the wrong RUU zip file. You need to find out your original software version and google the apropiated RUU zip for your Phone. If your software version is 5.03.651.3, what you need to get is 5.03.651.3 RUU HTC ONE zip file. Then if you got 5.06.651.6 you'll need 5.06.651.6 RUU HTC One zip file. Otherwise is NOT going to work.

run this command on adb:

fastboot getvar all

a list will be displayed. Look for the "version-main: x.xx.xxx.x". Once you know your software version: then go ahead and google the proper RUU.zip for your software version. Download it, unzip it, and run ARUWizard.exe contained in the extracted folder. Conect the phone to the computer via USB, get into the bootloader (make sure to put the phone in fastboot usb mode.) then just fallow the easy steps at ARUWizard software.

If everything goes all right at this point you'll see an HTC logo in a black background and a green installation bar showing you the the progress of the installation.

i know it would be too late for the guy who started the gap; but i am aware that there is more people who also have the same issue. I hope I have helped someone. Greetings from Miami, fl. My best wishes to you all!

Can you tell me some of the things you have tried and the cmds you used doing it, First you use fastboot cmds while in the bootloader and not adb. adb is used while in recovery or booted into the system. So if you want to flash the recovery img i always name it recovery.img and put it in the adb/fastboot folder on the PC and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

yes I understand that fastboot and adb are different, it was pretty late when I typed, I may of misworded, sorry. I can't have my device found If I try to access it in ADB. I have rand multiple commans, all you posed and I get fails. failed to erase cache, failed to write, access denied. I run the flash recovery command your talking about and it fails to write. I just can't seem to get anything to run. emmc testing through the emmc commands turn up odd results. i'll post all my findings below.

Check out this thread. There are some options you can try. I would try the recovery first. The problem you are having with the recovery is failing is the hboot you have does not have the all the fastboot commands needed so using the zip he has posted and renaming it to "0PB6IMG.zip" and putting it on the external sdcard the bootloader will flash it. Or you can use the method he posted Flash in RUU mode

EDIT:
Here use this zip, I named it already just put on the external sdcard boot into the bootloader. it will scan the zip and ask if you want to update, yes you do. after it updates shut the phone off and either leave the sdcard out or rename the zip or remove it. then see if you can boot in to recovery

This is for the vzw m8. inside the zip is a infi.text file the main ver, needs to match that of the phone

maybe I'm doing this wrong, I open in win rar, open in notepad make main ver blank since mine is blank on get ver all. save it then same results fail to update.

Re: HTC One Stuck in Bootloader and Can't get into Recovery. HELP!!

haha ok no repeats.
Well the thing is after I run "fastboot oem lock" it goes into a boot loop on the htc screen (trying reboot, reboot-bootloader, recovery and factory reset all send it in a boot loop). Once I get it back into the boot loader it still stays tampered and unlocked at the top. I would assume after locking it should be booting back into the bootloader by itself or starting up the phone like normal but my phone won't start up normally.

 

[JameSiu]

I have the same problem that you had. It took me one day to figure out how to do it was a hard time for me i would said
the bootloader was relocked and also i can even click on factory reset
send your email if you needed help it's very simple for me
I definitely would try my best to help you
