All,
New to htc and flashing, and try doing at 3am didn't help either. hope someone can help. Will paypal $50 to anyone that can help. Thanks in advance.
Here's what i did
using One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5 for all my modding
got token
unlocked bootloaded
didn't flash any recovery
flash a new .img kernel, but i used a boot.img from a zip file (home2wake zip) - don't ask why, i wasn't thinking lol
phone rom was all black, keeps rebooting
i managed to flash recovery, recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7wls.img
then wanted to restore stock rom
so i downloaded, this rom, http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
flashed zip using recovery
went through the rom custom installation of what i wanted installed.
After that it rebooted and stuck on green htc screen
i can get back into boot loader, but can't load recovery, can't factory reset, any option i select, the screen flash and sends me back to bootloader
rom won't load, can't get into recover, computer not detecting phone
Please help!!!

Check out this maybe a RUU will help -

Why did you use one s kit, I'm confused
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

you can try to load ADB Fastboot on your PC, then connect your phone via usb, be sure to have all of the drivers.
in bootloader, if it reads FASTBOOT USB, then you can us
fastboot flash recovery (Name of recovery).img
once that is done you should be able to at least get back into recovery....
check the link for recovery file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236418

I am no expert, but my guess would be to go back to stock boot / recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236418
Relock your phone: fastboot oem lock
Install the RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
And in the future don't use an All-In-One-Kit meant for another phone (The One S in your case)
p.s. Another thread that may help get you back to square one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800

thanks all,
will try all the suggestions above tonight, will let you guys know how it goes. i used the all one s because it was gui and easy and lots of extra and functions. but i guess the extra made it worst.
Right now when i plug in my phone the computer doesn't detect anything, hopefully the adb can talk to it to flash a new recovery/rom/kernel.

Pm me

It wasn't the extras that messed it up. It was the fact you were using an AIO that isn't for your device. That's a big no no.

Once you get back to stock with the RUU, use Hassoon2000's all in one kit...n00b proof!

i was using this, all of the recovery on there were for samsung s3/s4/and special edition. so i couldn't get to the recovery. Then i started tweaking around with the extras and flashed a boot.img to a kernel. failed

Android Revolution ROM is not for the sprint htc one. fyi

First you'll need this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
Extract to someplace you can find it, maybe the desktop
if you power the phone down then hold the vol - button does it boot into bootloader?
if so make sure you have the htc fastboot drivers installed from htc sync
if your on a windows machine from command prompt navigate to the platform-tools folder
for example
mine is in C:/users/ray/downloads/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools
in command prompt issue the command
fastboot oem lock
once the bootloader is re-locked
issue the command
fastboot oem rebootRUU
the phone should reboot into a black screen with greenish htc letters
find the setup.exe file from the ruu file and run it.
if all goes well you should be back to stock with a locked bootloader.
good luck

Awesome, unbricked it! Thank you wranglerray!!!!!!
Also thanks to everyone that replied, but it was wranglerray detailed step that helped me through it. awesome community.
as promised, send me your paypal account wranglerray, i'll send you the $50

Let this thread be a lesson that 1) don't mess with your phone if you don't know what you're doing and 2) don't flash a GSM ROM on your Sprint phone because it wipes your boot and recovery partition (on GSM phones, it wipes data and system but sprints partitions are different).

Failing after making a bunch of random attempts to do something doesn't constitute learning. Next time you should make sure you actually understand what it is that you are trying to do before you do it, and maybe then you won't end up almost completely wiping your phone clean.
You're lucky that the international One's and Sprint Ones partitions aren't like the Sprint/international S3, or else you would've overrided your bootloader as well and had a brick on your hands.

softbrick help!

Yesterday I bought an HTC One (in Thailand) and I with all the talent I could muster I put my phone into a sad state already. I can get into fastboot and access my device from the computer, but that is about it. Recovery doesn't work at all.
./fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img gets recovery working with twrp, but that doesn't seem to help much at the point I'm at now.
I have a Mac, so the all-in-one tool I've seen will not work for me (I'd prefer not to use a tool at this point anyway while I'm still learning the android ecosystem).
I tried to download the HTC One development image from HTC's website and thought I could use that with fastboot, to get myself up and running again. After the download, I noticed the .zip file seems corrupt though. I couldn't open in Mac's Archive Utility. Using the command-line unzip, it will unzip with errors. Subsequent downloads did not help.
But I tried an update anyway:
./fastboot update PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.zip
Whoops: didn't find expected signature
read_central_directory_entry failed
error: failed to access zipdata in '4?];g????

S(?ڦGv?zW??.??K??OߓXQ7e?qg,y??????<:?8?7J?d*?v?b?~O?X?????F??4?t?h??3뺟??r?|[o鹟g??n'
I'm not even sure updating the phone with the factory image is the correct thing todo, but if it is, does anyone have a link to a uncorrupted zip file?
Is there another way to get my phone back in shape? I'd like to avoid using any tools other than adb or fastboot so I can really understand the process of what's going on myself.
The people that are more knowledgeable about fixing stuff like this will likely need to know which variant your phone is.
Have you tried the RUU thread? That might be able to get you back to at least stock.

I'm not sure what other info to provide. It's an HTC One (m7), not tied to any carrier. I unlocked it and rooted it too. it's s-on (from what i gather it's not possible to have an HTC One in s-off yet). Prior to my messing around with it, the phone was running Android 4.1.2 when purchased...just the normal HTC One specs...until I blew all that away of course.
If there is some specific information I need to provide to help that I'm not aware please let me know.
Thanks!

I only see 4 partitions available to mount: Cache, Data, System, USB-OTG. Of those I can only select Data and System.
Also, you could point me to where I could find a stock ROM for the HTC One?

not sure how to do this correctly...i tried the following series of commands in this order:
./fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
./fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
./fastboot flash system system.img
so far so good...but then ./fastboot update PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.zip
failed (see my original post for why). it seems the developer rom downloaded from HTC is corrupt (I noticed this will unzipping it).

Ah, using twrp's adb sideload it looks like i can load a rom file onto the phone. But definitely the rom from HTC website is corrupt. Message on the phone indicated the sideload failed due to a corrupt zip file.
Can someone please point me to a sane HTC ROM file and I'll try that to sideload that?
Thanks again for all the help. much appreciated.

[Q] where to proceed next? - i F'd up!

all,
it was with reckless abandon and blind/naive decisions that got me to this point. i will just lay it all out what ive done in the hopes one of you brilliant minds will lead me into the light. before i lay out the steps in which ridiculous choices led me to this conundrum, here is the question...
Where do i go from here to resolve the issue that i have and can get into bootloader (tampered/unlocked and in S-ON) but i have no operating system?
keep in mind that Ive probably and admittedly should not have been dabbling in things i had no business doing with the little to no proper due diligence...."i am awarded no points and may god have mercy on my soul!!!!!!!!!!!!"
1) i used the htc dev process to unlock my bootloader and it worked well.
2) i then proceeded to flash some custom recovery .img files via "fastboot flash recovery <insert filename here" and the .img at the end of course.
recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.4-m7 <---didnt take the first time or anytime. kept saying "entering recovery" but then the screen would go black, not boot into the recovery screen and then the phone would reboot as it would normally and go into stock OS
i then tried the following .img files below, all with the same result...
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-m7
openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7
recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.2-m7ul <<<---this was the only recovery .img file that would take so i then decided to play around with the options.
3) i then proceeded to make another ridiculous choice. under one of the options in clockwork recovery "classic" menus i went forth and selected the "wipe data/factory reset" option.
so what i have now is i believe a htc one sprint phone that has bootloader unlocked with what i believe is no OS. i hear on my computer the sound when it connects via "fastboot usb" but obviously the computer doesn't recognize it so i can copy and paste a zip file onto it.
i was looking at a few threads here and could really use some guidance/encouragement. the threads are

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 <<< the [RUU] sprint htc one 1.29.651.10 thread
what would be the best course of action for me to take? bear in mind that the end result would probably be obviously a working phone, probably stock or w/e seems best.
thank you for taking the time in reading my post. if you require any additional information, please ask. i am probably leaving out important pieces of info.

All you need to do is fastboot flash recovery a working recovery then check and see if adb works for you in recovery.
If it does then you can adb push a Rom to /sdcard and flash it in the recovery.

thank you for your quickresponse.
as i am very very "scared" to this up any further. what would the suggested "working recovery" file i should choose and then what rom should i use? honestly im tempted at the stock one that i linked but im worried that if that doesnt go smoothly, i will lose my unlocked bootloader feature.

THANKS! i saw this thread earlier. ill take a look. ive at least watched wwjoshdew's video and i think that should work too. downloading the stuff now.
just tried wwjoshdew's directions. looks like i cant do the RUU 1.29xxxx. it goes through all the steps but at the end it says error because of the 1.31xxxx version i have already. i guess that means i have to wait until someone releases an RUU for 1.31.651.2
and if i am not sure if usb debugging mode ins enabled and i cant get back into normal bootup for the phone because i think i wiped my OS like stated in my first post. is my next step to do hansoon's AIO tool kit?

first off thats the wrong recovery, you want openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls.img (this is for sprint the m7 is international)2.6 has been giving some problems, don't know if they have it worked out yet, 2.5 is good, so

so this is starting to look bleak. i am now able to get into recovery but i cant do adb sideload. it fails. has it got to do with the possibility that usb debugging was not turned on before i wiped data?
any ideas on my next try?

go to file manager in twrp and see if there is an 0 folder at the top if so delete it(make sure its empty first) then try a sideload
or use es file explorer and look at your files

Don't know what to do next? Not that big of a problem

Ok here goes, I unlocked my phone flash viper ROM I remember it like yesterday then the new ota update came out flash the ruu to back to stock everything was fine updated the phone unlocked the phone both on win8 and win 7 but I can't flash a custom recovery, any tips are great

Grab a copy of TWRP or CWM recoveries, links are available in original dev section. Put it in the same folder as ADB - which you used in the console/terminal/command line to unlock the phone. Fire up ADB in console, just as you did to unlock the phone, and type:
adb reboot-bootloader
Your phone should go to that white screen with colorful text. Next type:
fastboot flash recovery nameOfRecoveryImage.img
As long as you're unlocked, which you are, this should work flawlessly.
cant get phone to load
I tried to install the maximushd 12.1 on my sprint htc one. I tried to do it thru twrp recovery and now the phone only loads to boot loader. Any suggestions to get the phone back working. I was using viper rom at the time.
I'm going to assume maximushd is some rom for the international HTC One. I would highly recommend against flashing international roms for obvious reasons.
Either way, RUU the phone. If you're on the new firmware (1.31), you'll need to listen to this guy. Then download the 1.29 RUU from one of the dev sections, wherever the hell it is. Then everything will be back to how it was the day you bought it. Then, just do it all again but don't **** it up - ha.
edit: I just reread, you can't get to the recovery from the bootloader? If all you did was install an international rom, you should still be able to access recovery unless twrp has the ability to repartition, which I suppose it possible. I'll do some reading.
edit2: Others were able to fix the problem utilizing the method I outlined. One of them even links directly to the guide above. Should work alright.

I cannot get into recovery. It just keeps going in a vicious cycle. I can choose fastboot or recovery but noting happens.
Did you try to flash a new one with fastboot? fastboot will work in the bootloader.

Just a quick pro-tip for you... if you didn't find the ROM in this forum (because you didn't) then DON'T FLASH IT!
If you found it in the international forums (which you did.) DON'T FLASH IT
Next time do a search because about a hundred other people who aren't good at reading before flashing have done it too.

A couple of days ago I thought it would be a GREAT idea to install a GSM ROM (Android Revolution HD) on my Sprint HTC One. I am now able to go into the recovery and flash a different ROM, but the ROM will boot up but shut down several seconds after reaching the home screen. I have been told that using an RUU might help, but will that work even if my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a USB device? All help is appreciated
EDIT: FIXED THANKS TO BIGDADDY619'S GUIDE ON THE SECOND PAGE

Maybe you screwed your radio but i'm not sure this is the answer to your problems... To be able to run a RUU your pc MUST recognize your phone in fastboot mode.
I repaired a friends device that did the same thing. When it boots you will see a lock screen with no wallpaper and then it will shutdown.
An RUU is the ONLY way to fix it.

There's nothing special about an RUU, it's just a self extracting archive that uses fastboot to flash stuff.
It can be done by hand, such as with a nandroid backup.

Okay, I'll try to get my compooter to recognize it in fastboot (that's from the bootloader right?)

You should explain how you fixed it here so everyone with that issue can check your method without opening thousands of threads about it

When I go into fastboot, my compooter makes that duh-doo sound for connecting a USB device, but it never shows up as a device on my computer that I can transfer files to. Is this normal and/or is this good enough for the RUU to work?

Yeah that's enough, run the RUU while your phone is in fastboot mode and you'll be ok

I've heard that there's no new version of the Sprint RUU or something, will whatever I have work for it anyway?

If you have S-OFF it will...
These instructions are for the Sprint variant only
You will need to be unlocked and have twrp installed for this to work (I'm posting this here because of my work schedule if you need further assistance PM back hopefully you and Matt can get it working )
1. Follow this guide Guide - Get s-off on 1.31 HTC One (Sprint) Update:
You will get a failed warning after issuing the echo blah blah command this is normal and nothing to be worried about and after the echo command type exit to exit the adb shell and continue.
2. Get the RUU here click the first link in the thread(extract it to your desktop/open it and click setup it will scan your device,go thru the various screens reading the warnings and checking the boxes, once it starts it will take 10-20 minutes to complete) once it's done you will be back to completely stock.
Optional:
Use revone to gain s-off (if you go with this option once you are s-off you won't need to use HTC-Dev to unlock your bootloader because revone does it for you) A sidenote about revone it will fail several times just press the UP arrow on your keyboard to issue the same command and press enter.Watch the cmd window for instructions to reboot and continue.
or flash a Sprint rom from the Sprint forum
Any other questions or concerns post here or PM me
Good Luck

Bigdaddy please push to make this a separate sticky in here.
Also, could you post a warning/guide in the international forum?
Would be appreciated.

At the end of my patience....please help me!!!

this has been on going for 2 days now and i still cant find a way around it...
i know how to flash both different types of recovery modes and can do that without a prob, i have the latest version of super su on a usb stick and also multiple roms on a usb stick which i am capable of flashing these via an OTA cable, but every time i flash the root then flash a rom, it says its installed but when i reboot it just stays on the htc screen with the red writing along the bottom for the best part of 45 seconds then restarts straight back into recovery.
i'll happily admit i'm no expert when it comes to android, but i've had a galaxy ace, s2, s3 and s4 before moving to a htc one, i've never had issues like this before...
if someone has a skype account and is willing to have a chat with me and help me thru this issue so that i can have a working and stable phone again, otherwise i have just bought a £350 paperweight.
Many thanks in advance to all those who help me!!

Flash root then a Rom??
You root the ROM not the phone! If you flash root then a rom overtop of course it's unrooted. I thought you had this corrected and the device up and running.

i would love to flash a rom then root afterwards but once ive got to the end of the rom flash and my recovery says reboot i get the message saying root is broken and get asked to install it, which would normally happen when the rom boots up and it installs susper su inside the rom but as the rom never boots up and just goes back to revovery, i'm rather stuck at this point..
any ideas??
if i need TWRP_2.6.3.3 where can i get the .img file as i have the zip file but cant seem to get that flashed onto my phone, i tried unzipping it and just flashing the recovery.img but it failed
i've just found: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7ul.img
would that do it or do i need 2.6.3.3?
ive just installed TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7_renovate thru the CWM that was installed but now this recovery dosent give me the option of installing from usb stick like the CWM did??

Okay, first, stay calm. Being in a rush will make you mess things even more. Now, go into your bootloader, what does it say? Alternatively, if you know how to, post the output of fastboot getvar all.

i'd like to return to stock but i use the toggles on the pull down notification bar a lot and when i got the phone when it was completly un rooted it didnt give me that function. and i love the option of changing what toggles you want up there in the renovation rom, you can prob get them in other roms but the renovation rom is the only 1 i have had working on my phone.

Ok, never mind about that, I'll get you back there. Now do you have any data on your phone that you need? Ps, be a little quick, I've gotta leave home in ~15, and my data plan is over
