Download this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
in recovery, choose install zip from sideload
in the toolkit, choose adb sideload a rom
choose rom
flash & reboot, good luck, took me 3 trys until fixed sdcard issues
You can push the ROM zip to your 'sdcard' using adb (adb push xxxx.zip /sdcard/xxxx.zip).
If you need more information, either look here, or just search the internets.
Don't panic. There's no such thing as a brick (if the screen turns on or computer recognises the phone).

Don't worry if it is booting to recovery it is not bricked, bricked is when it does nothing.
Can you boot to bootloader? If so you can fastboot flash an RUU (if you fail all other attempts to flash a rom with recovery)
You need the proper HTC drivers for ADB to recognize the device. Download and install HTC Sync Manager and also Android SDK Manager to get the platform-tools folder required to use ADB. Google both of them.

Hi Guys,
I have accidently installed Cwm Recovery with kernal install option through One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v toolkit. now bootloader is not accessible and phone just boots into recovery. I tried sideloading rom onto the device but adb can't find device anymore. can't adb push files either. anyone has any ideas? Any help will be appreciated.

Update! Ok I have recovered Bootloader. By uninstalling all HTC drivers from the computer and reinstalling everything back several times i was able to adb push files to sdcard .
SO I wiped my whole internal memory after creating a backup of my rom and trying to flash a new one. I quickly press to wipe and I guess i picked to wipe my internal memory too. So now I have No OS on the phone and nothing on the card to flash.
I tried ADB Sideload and all i got it was can't mount system, and cach..Samething happens if I try to backup or mount
I tried to send my zip file through fastboot with the "fastboot flash data " command but at the end I get a failed bootloader checking and I tried the same with system and nothing happen or I count find my zip file when I went back to recovery.
SO can someone help me fix this ? or Is there an RUU i can use?? my phone Hboot is 1.55 and came with Android 4.3 so idk if any old RUU will work
Oh and ADB dont some to work ...I get an error telling that it can't find devices.

I have had the issue of ADB unable to find devices. Don't know if this will help you, but has worked for me. Make sure phone if powered off. Hold the volume down button and press and hold the power button in order to boot into bootloader. Then plug your phone into the computer. You should see the screen change to Fastboot USB. From my experience, that is where you need to be.
YMMV. Good luck.

If you want to sideload you'll need TWRP recovery. Here's a guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318497 I myself had trouble finding my device, but than I uninstalled all the HTC drivers I had and installed the "universal naked driver" from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
I have the exact same thing I can't save a ROM to the device to flash it anymore I just want it to go back to stock I don't want root anymore it never works. My bootloader version is 3.04.651.2 which is too high to use the RUU installer. I can't mount the storage to use any of the S-Off Tools to downgrade it. I can't even push files using adb. All because of a ROM....

If you dont have a custom recovery make sure you flash one thru bootloader, fastboot. Regardless of you Hboot or bootlaoder number, you can get it unlock at the htcdev.com website. then you have to flash TWRP recovery. After doing then go to recovery....Don't do anything yet, make sure that you computer recognizes your phone. THATS the mistake I made. Open device manager and look for android USB devices if its not there then you need to install the adb drivers. If its there then on TWRP recovery look for adb side... I think its under advance .... then open the command to tour adb folder and type "adb version" you need at least 1.0.21 or higher. then type adb sideload name of rom.zip
I opened the bootloader via htcdev. then i flashed costume recovery and rooted my device. all worked fine.
After flash the latest ARHD from stock Orange rom the phone stuck in the second htc logo.
i flashed boot.img and then the phone stuck in the first htc logo.
i format data in TWRP! i thought it would help but now all my sd data deleted! include the rom and the nandroid backup!
i tried sideload but adb not read my phone! fastboot work though.
i am really stuck please help me. i cant find RUU for my device (3.63.75.3 - Orange spain) :crying:
i have the htc drivers work and htcsync uninstalled.
** edit **
it work! had to delete the drivers and install the universal naked instead and update the sdk then sideload worked!

lesson one, copy your stock backup to your PC - don't just leave it on your phone
adb only works when your in recovery or booted to OS
Kitkat roms require s-off flash an older version of ARHD like 31.6
sideload the ARHD31 from TWRP and your PC
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload rom.zip
make sure rom.zip is in the same directory as adb/fastboot
ADB Push from Recovery - If Sideload Fails For You
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0/
Hello.
I tried to flash a custom rom on my phone with s-on. I followed the instructions that told me to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it first and then the rom as I had s-on.
But after flashing the phone reboots into recovery. It doesn't go in the system. I can't get the internal sd to mount in the TWRP recovery as well. I tried CWM too but was not able to mount the internal memory.
As I have s-on I can't even flash the stock ruu and because it doesn't go into the system there is no way for me to check USB debugging. I'm screwed.
Can anyone please help me ?

you haven't read the rules :/
first you don't have to flash the boot.IMG separately on HTC One, just flash the ROM via recovery
second it is impossible to mount your SD card in recovery
try sideload

It said in the flashing instructions that if the phone is s-on you have to flash boot.img first.
My phone is s-on so I flashed boot.img first. Now it boots into recovery instead of system.
Also my phone is not detected by adb. So I can't use sideload. It is detected by fastboot but not adb
How can I make it detect adb?

no ROM for HTC One requires flashing boot.img first while on S-ON
uninstall your previous HTC drivers and HTC Sync Manager, restart your PC
download and install the following: http://download1801.mediafire.com/lbsjht9823lg/e21a0cc4268dg9d/HTCDriver_4.10.0.001.msi

Okay I was able to flash the RUU and go back to stock but the phone keeps rebooting
It goes to lock screen and after I swipe to unlock, it is stuck on HTC logo until it reboots back.
Even when I flashed any custom ROMs the same thing happened.
It went to lock screen and after unlocking, it gets stuck on HTC logo.
What can I do?
Hi
I have a HTC one m7 which went in Boot loop just like that. It was working perfectly some time back., just rebooted and won.t me back now. I had the latest stock OS 4.4 with sense 6 developer edition on it with no tamperig.
I tried many time wipe cache and factory reset. Nothing helped. Finally someone here suggested i do a unlock bootloader -> custom recovery -> custom rom -> s-off -> Load my Stock RUU.
Problem with above is i have done the unlock boot loader and install twrp recovery. But to do a s-off i need my device to read adb commands. As its in boot loop i cannot. Can i flash a custom binary which can run on S-on just to run those commands of firewater to make s-off.
I am stuck here. Please help to revive my device and reach me back to stock 4.4 sense 6 .
Also i came to know as i was on latest version if i flash a older RUU with S-On it can brick my device. True ?
And something else i noticed , i read some 4-5 thread in last two days complaining of HTC going in boot loop just like that.
HTC to blame ? Is this some issue with htc ???
Thanks

as mentioned in the previous post you made, you need to install a custom ROM first in order to boot back into your phone. You have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery. Now you need to sideload the ROM by adb sideload commands in order to boot the phone up again
Do not run an earlier RUU.zip as you will brick your phone. Firewater needs a working ROM, there are no ways to bypass this
Flash ARHD 81 or Insert Coin or Team Venom Rom
Step 1. Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP 2.7.x.x recovery. Don't install Twrp v2.8.x.x, wont work with any roms.
Step 2. Boot to Recovery.
Step 3. Mount the system using twrp. I am assuming that you don't have custom rom on your phone storage.
Note that TWRP v2.7.x.x wont mount the phone storage. v2.7 and above always had issues. My recommendation is to install TWRP v2.8 for temporary purposes. Now mount the phone storage copy any rom you downloaded to the system.
Step 4. Assuming that you install TWRP v2.8 to copy rom files to phone storage. Boot to bootloader again and Install TWRP using fastboot. Command: "Fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img"
Step 5. Reboot to recovery. WIPE DATA, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, SYSTEM > Install Rom.
Note do not wipe "internal storage." Otherwise you have to go back and start again with installing twrp v2.8, then copy rom...
Step 6: follow the steps.
IMO ARHD 81 is a stable rom, provides better battery life. If you like Sense then stick with this Rom, if you want Stock Android aka AOSP then try aospa legacy, CM, SlimKAT, AOSB and many more.
Moreover, i haven't found RUU for Sense 6 KK4.4.3, if you do please provide me a link as well.
As of yet there are no links for 4.4.3 RUU's. Haven't been released anywhere. He just needs a working ROM to get s off again. Nice step by step guide tho
Not able to copy my custom rom in phone.

Hi , i got stuck with a minor issue. I am with 2.8 TWRP was trying to mount the phone . i am using a mac os with the Android Revolution Rom downloaded in place. .
m7 gets mount i could see the phone in android fie transfer ( MTP utility for mac) . I selected the System and data and cache back in the twrp mount page. I can write and create some folders etc.
Issue is when i start to copy the Custom ROM file to the phone ( any folder) it says 'filexxx.zip not copy'. However i copied a small file (1mb). It was copied ok.
Any idea what is the issue with the file size restrictions?
I tried the adb sideload that also fails with saying device not found. Wanna avoid sideload, as sideload will execute also the zip after copying . I Want to change the recovery file as the recovery file need to changed to a twrp 2.7xx before installation starts. I hear that V2.8 is not compatible with lot of roms.

You are better using the 2.7.xx version of TWRP. Sounds like you could also be using out of date adb drivers. You can download the most up to date ones by downloading the latest Google sdk
Try fixing the above and sideloading again
No luck ! Fastboot mode also not getting detected now.

Hello i tried updating the drivers from the sdk itself. No luck . The device won't just get detect as adb device. Tried cache clear. factory reset , reboot pc and phone. And Loaded other twrp recovery images ( 2.8 and 2.7).
Today tried with a window machine also. I thought some issue with Mac + adb drivers. But with window also No luck.
Also one more issue, my phone fastboot has stopped detecting om pc and mac. Tried everything almost.
It was like just working some time back, i loaded twrp 2.7.x and booted to recovery for adb sideload.
Adb Sideload failed as mentioned above on this window machine also ... so i was like this adb is not working at all.
But then i thought of loading 2.8 twrp and see if mount (mtp) works, i can send the ROM to device this way. But for that when i booted to fastboot. Fastboot just stopped detecting in PC (window and mac)
I wonder can the Fastboot mode ( within Hboot bootloader) can go corrupt ?
I am sure drivers are there, usb cable is fine, usb port in HTC one is fine. It just show "fastboot ac" not "fastboot usb" . No activity in the device manager when i plug surprisingly !! (can't see Android phone there " . Afterall it was working ok when i loaded the recovery image of 2.7.1.
Also , can the recovery mess up with the fastboot mode ? i am still s-on and in boot loop.
-Thanks,

Sounds also like a driver issue
Try instling HTC sync to get the up to date HTC drivers and retry. Use different usb ports (2.0 preferably) and different cables. If it's saying fastboot ac then the phone is not being detected correctly, so it's a driver issue
You can also try manually installing the driver by searching for I think the Google naked driver
