No idea what to do - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, so I was installing HD revolution which is compatible with the T mobile version. I installed it before and had no problems. Went to install the updated version today and did and at the end it says root may be lost and asked to fix it. I said yes. Now the phone is in a boot loop. It goes to the HTC "quietly brillant" screen and has the this build is for developmental purposes at the bottom and what not and then reboots to the same screen but says entering recovery at the top then the screen turns black and it flashes a glimpse of CWM then restarts the process over and over. I tried to boot into recovery and what not through the toolkit but USB debugging isn't available. Please help I have no idea what to do.
EDIT- I can get into the boot loader but I've never done anything with adb or fastboot or anything like that so hopefully there is a way to fix it with this?
Also in the bootloader above "unlocked" It says "tampered", not sure if that means anything.

Download the mini sdk file from that post. Use the instructions there to access fastboot. Then use the command "fastboot erase cache"
Should fix your recovery issue and then reflash the Android Revolution ROM.

[Q] HELP!

I know this is probably posted in the wrong forum but i only have 5 posts....
i flashed the bulletproof kernal from the HTC ONE forum and now my phone is in a boot loop..
i can get into the bootloader but when i try to go into recovery it wont load.
also device is not recognized by pc when connected by usb...
how can i get into twrp to factory reset and flash the viperrom or stock rooted rom?
Seeing as our sprint variant HTC one doesn't have any custom kernels as of yet, you flashed something that does not belong. This is a big no no and you've probably killed your device. You can try hard resetting by holding down the power button until the capacitive buttons stop blinking, then holding volume down and power to get to boot loader, then navigate to recovery. I'm pretty sure you're SOL though.

Did you do :
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" ?
I'm still bootlooping...
Once I got the bootloader to connect fastboot usb, I direct download the twrp recovery .img then In the command prompt
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Then I was able to get into recovery from the bootloader and wipe and reflash viperROM

HTC One Bricked =/

Hey guys
I just rooted my HTC One yesterday and installed a custom rom on it, all went well until my brain went stupid and formatted data, system, sdcard and i had no nandroid backup in place. I just upgraded from a HTC One X and from what i know, previously i could just flash CWM and mount usb and it'll go work normally. However, for my situation now, none of the recoveries actually allow me to mount usb.
Also, i'm on 1.29.404 and i can't find any RUUs that is the same as this. I also cant execute adb push for rom because my computer doesnt recognise my phone in adb devices. Can anyone help me out with this issue ?
cheers!
Hi
Greetings,
Install HTC drivers for abd to recognize your phone, this will help you to atempt abd sideload and also fastboot commands
Flash the recovery againg
"fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery-.img"
And try again by adb sideload this is your last option before flashing a ruu

I'm in a similar boat, did a "format data" in TWRP and now I can't boot. I can access the phone via ADB tho. I'll let you know if I find a solution.
Same thing here
I also did the same thing. However, I can't boot into recovery at all; It says its about to boot into recovery, then the phone just turns off. The only thing I can do is boot into the bootloader, and lock or unlock it. Right now, its unlocked. I've tried everything. I would love to just use an ruu exe., but the only one I've found isn't working for my phone for whatever reason. I kept getting error 132 signature error. The ruu I was using was "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3" I was using a similar version ( I think it was 1.29.300 or something), and yes, I relocked my bootloader before using the ruu; If anyone knows of a different, newer version, or really, anything at all that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey thanks for replying; Unfourtently, even after reflashing twrp and clearing the cache, it still just shows the entering recovery mode and the restarts. In fact, now it is constantly restarting until I boot it into bootloader and power the system down that way. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

that RUU won't work because you have to match your version-main to the RUU you are about to flash, if that version-main doesn't match than you will get that error 132 which is normal in your case... if you want to know which is your version main just type
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

Thanks; I've found the correct ruu, but now I have a new problem. As of right now its .zip and not .exe; I cant boot into recovery and adb isnt working either. Any suggestions for getting it on the phones memory, seeing as there is no sd card I can remove?
I had my phone booting the entering recovery screen for about half a sec and would always boot back into the OS so I installed TWRP through fastboot than went to factory reset in the hboot menu and it booted into recovery it worked for me but Idk if it will work for you

as long as i know the only file that you can flash in that OTA is the firmware.zip that will update your bootloader but i'll do it after some more tries...
please paste here the output of

Have you tried "fastboot -w" this will factory reset your phone from fastboot. Then try re-flashing recovery again.

I've had this problem on the one x plus, what I did and please bear with me, it does work Firstly flash cwm and clear cache, once you have done that you should be able to boot recovery. Once in cwm format everything including data! yep I said data! then reboot back to fastboot and flash TWRP and rewipe everything again (including data) then sideload or push your rom across to your phone.
Done this twice now on mine when I got bricked (for no reason!) I can only think the file system becomes corrupt somehow.
alright guys, i solved the issue and my phone is back to normal !
to those guys still facing the issue, i suggest you flash the latest cwm then try using the sideload function > adb sideload <filename.zip>
mine came back to life after that, heh
cheers!
Also fixed
Hey guys, thanks so much for everyones help last night. I also got mine all fixed and set away. For anyone interested, I used the ruu and steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904

[Q] HTC One Recovery Mode Issue

Hey guys, I am starting this thread in hopes of getting an answer to help anyone else who may be experiencing the same problem that I am.
For the past couple of days i have been trying to root my HTC One using the "fastboot flash recovery" method using both CWM Touch and Classic along with trying TWRP. It appears that the recovery flash works each time by giving me the OKAY message in cmd. I go into the bootloader and everything appears as it worked by saying **TAMPERED** and **UNLOCKED** at the top but when i try to boot into recovery, the phone shows the HTC entering recovery screen but then fails and shuts off the phone before going into the recovery image.
I know that all probably sounded confusing and if you have any other questions i will be glad to answer them. All i want is my phone rooted so i can take off the bloatware.
Any help is welcomed and thanks for your help!

Same thing happend to me when I tried to flash a new rom. I ended up reinstalling the TWRP file in the fastboot CMD. "Fastboot flash recover "twrp file name that you put in fastboot.img"
What carrier are you?
Edit: sorry, misread your post I think - if you see recovery trying to open for a split-second, try commanding
'fastboot erase cache' (in fastboot usb, of course) and try again
Otherwise, depending what carrier you are, I think there is a issue with that, I'm not familiar though as I'm in the UK.

There's a Sprint version of TWRP, try flashing this and see if it makes a difference... http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7wls/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls.img

[Q] How do I fix this

I tried to install a Viper rom (the latest one) but it kept saying error and when I went back to reboot it said that my phone might be unrooted and there was a button that said FIX and a button that said No, reboot and another one that said go back. Through hesitation, I clicked go back on accident and it rebooted. I don't know why but it got stuck on bootloop. Now I stopped the boot loop by holding down the power button and the down volume key at the same time to go back to the bootloader. Now, my problem is, how can I fix everything? I can't boot back to recovery because it goes on a boot loop and I can't factory reset either. I tried using HTC One All in one toolkit but it doesn't recognize my device. It keeps saying "Error: device not found" but my phone clearly says Fastboot USB. I need help ASAP

First of all, don't use a toolkit. They rob you of the understanding you need to fix problems like this.
- You should be able to use fastboot to boot recovery. Can you?
- Did fastboot/USB connection ever work for you? How about adb?
- If you get fastboot working (drivers?), you can clear the cache with "fastboot format cache".
- If you can't boot recovery to do the other steps (factory reset and wiping the dalvik cache), you have bigger problems. But I think these steps CAN be done from the bootloader. Maybe not all of them--I'm not sure what will work and what won't, as far as various combinations of "fastboot erase dalvik / fastboot format userdata / fastboot erase userdata", etc.
- First, focus on booting recovery. Get fastboot working and clear the cache if you need to.
- Note that IF you can factory reset through fastboot (I'm not sure you can), it will wipe /sdcard as well.
adb doesn't recognize my device. I don't know why. I can't boot to recovery either.
