Attempted my first root and ROM flash.
Followed HTC Holiday Superguide instructions (I did skip the S-OFF bit) then tried to flash CyanogenMod 10 using these instructions. Got stuck on the CyanogenMod flash screen. Don't quite remember what I did in my panicked attempts to recover. I did relock the bootloader at some point.
Now the phone continually boots to HBoot.
Can't find the RUU I need anywhere (Telstra 3.44.841.3).
Should I return to Apple in shame having found myself not man enough for rooted Androids? Or can someone help me regain some self-respect?
Did you flash the boot.img using fastboot?

When I choose RECOVERY, it displays the HTC logo while a status bar fills up, then it goes back to HBoot.

Okay so you no longer have a custom recovery installed ? Is your HBOOT still locked ? If it is still locked unlock it and Flash TWRP or WCX recovery and see if you can boot into recovery.

It is still locked, but can I flash TWRP or WCX without having access to the phone's internal SD card through Windows? I don't know how to get them on there without that (when I connect the phone to my PC, I don't get the option anymore).

No SDCARD ?
Either way you can have the recovery saved to some place on your PC and flash it to the phone. In HBOOT you should select fastboot USB and this will allow you to send fastboot commands to the phone. EX fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash a recovery.

Your set.. you should be able to flash your rom of choice and fastboot flash boot boot.im (I'm assuming your not S-OFF) and then the phone will boot up like it should. The boot.img file will be located in the ROM zip but you may have to push modules around to get wifi to work depending on the ROM.

Okay, I'll have another crack at it, then. Thanks very much, esloan. I really appreciate your help.
Well, I haven't managed to get anywhere. I've tried flashing a couple of different ROMs, but I couldn't get them to boot. When I boot into recovery, I get a bunch of "Can't mount" notifications. Is that bad?
Did you start with clockworkmod?
If so...

Just curious, does anyone have a dump of the recovery partition for the Dev Edition? It looks like from a bit of reading is that the recovery partition doesn't seem to be present.
I am unable to use recovery mode properly since it saids invalid operation when I do apply from SD, storage or cache, followed by the phone automatically restarting.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if the unlocked 32 GB versions is unaffected.
try to reflash the recovery, the partitions should be the same as the original One
I tried to do that by using the RUU and using the zip, but it did not bring it back.
Is there a way to get the recovery image itself? I tried to extract the zip but it looked like it's encrypted as I cannot do so.
Looks like one mike1986 mentioned it's missing as well.
mike1986. said:
1. Well, I decided not to mention some things to avoid confusion. At the moment unlocking bootloader removes content of /data/preload partition, so indeed, installing OTA will fail. But I truly hope that HTC will fix it at some point and unlocking bootloader won't cause some stock apps to be missing.
2. Which procedure?

Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder if the stock recovery is suppose to work like that, where if I try to apply storage, sd card, or cache it saids invalid operation and reboot. The reason is, a new HTC One S my relative got she her phone is being replaced for free under warranty... I go to the recovery and do those certain the apply stuff, it also saids invalid operation out and restarts!
I find this a bit interesting on my HTC One when I go to the recovery and wondering the failed mount SD card messages is normal.

The only time bootloader is going to Sig check a recovery partition is if he is relocked. He said he used the ruu a couple times so he is still relocked.

Since no one else is really helping you I will.
So what I gathered is your Rom bootloops and you've tried installing stock Rom but still no luck so you want to switch recoveries but you can't get twrp to flash...?
1. Are you S-Off or S-On? If you are s-on you must flash boot.img with this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. To flash a recovery made for your device you must place it in fastboot and enter this
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Place Rom on internel storage if you choose cwm because it doesn't support external sdcard like twrp. For latest twrp, message @kairi_zeroblade... If you can't place on internal with cwm then you must do a sideload with the Rom same goes for twrp.

Not sure if you can enter this command without a-off but try
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then repeat the previous post....
If that doesn't work I'd try firewaters universal s-off tool and obtain s-off and try that command or see if it fixes your issues with your device. if that fails your best bet would be to ruu.. if you can't do that either you got a useless device till s-off exploit Is found if that's the reason why it's messing up.... Or donate it to someone who could fix it (me)

Seem like you fried your "/data" partition from what you just mentioned above. The only way I could see you fix is ruu. Cause HTC won't fix it if you send it in with a custom recovery at which you can't change.
And what I meant is since the device is rendered completely useless, unless you can get a run to ruu. You'd donate it to me this way i could try and fix it...

There is no RUU for this phone, as far as I know. The closest thing to RUU is flashing everything by hand, but this seems to have failed in this case, unfortunately.

Are you S-ON and is your bootloader unlocked?
Does the black screen have a triangle in it? If so, then you are in stock recovery.
What version of TWRP are you using?
What version of your PC (Win, Mac, Linux) OS are you using?
Could you post the output of the command window with the steps for flashing the recovery?

Here are a couple of options:
Try TWRP 2.6.3.3
Connect your PC to the phone while the phone is in Recovery (Black screen) then type: adb reboot recovery
Try a different computer or Linux
Save your files off of the phone;
-- Lock the bootloader
-- Flash stock firmware
-- Enter stock recovery and perform a factory reset
-- Reboot phone a couple of times
-- Unlock bootloader
-- Flash TWRP

Gremlins?? Sometimes the programs don't clean up after themselves and they leave corrupted files/bits. That is why you want to erase cache to make it clean. Glad you are back up!!!
