I was trying to restore back to stock and followed the directions completely. After over and hour plus the onscreen message kept saying it was sending the ROM files to the phone its pretty clear it wasn't. So now I am stuck in the Bootloader with no ROM image at all. My Win8 computer suddenly won't recognize the device, I have removed and re-installed the drivers that worked before and get nothing.
I am on my wife's Win7 computer and I still cannot get the device to be recognized with the current drivers installed. The only thing I can do is power down my HTC One and reboot in the Bootloader - Fastboot.
I could use any help urgently.

Have you tried flashing a recovery in fastboot?
The command is fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Flash a custom recovery and then install a custom rom through it.That should make your phone usable for the moment. When you have time again you can try going back to stock.
I have heard these things recommend by others:
- Be sure you have the latest drivers. Download HTC Sync if need be, and sure to reboot your PC, then allow enough time for the phone to be recognized.
- Try a different USB port.
- Power down phone by simulating a battery pull by holding down the power button for up to fifteen seconds, then reboot into recovery by pressing the volume down key as the phone restarts.
Good luck!

Thanks. I tried the power down as you mentioned it just reboots everytime, I also tried the rebooting into recovery - Fastboot. I also tried all 4 USB Ports on my laptop.
Any other thoughts on this?
I tried the HTC Sync installer still get the same thing USB Device Not Recognized.
My device wasn't able to work with USB 2.0 port, is there only USB 2.0 on your laptop?
Sent from my HTC One™
I have USB 3.0 but no joy on any of my ports. On the phone with HTC Support they are USELESS. The only thing they can offer is to reload the OS by replacing the motherboard and that takes 2 weeks and $200. There has to be a better way.

My laptop only has USB 3.0 ports. I could get HTC sync to
work fine, but the PC wouldn't recognize the phone when in the bootloader. I was struggling to find an answer until I came across this blog and this worked flawlessly. The problem is with the Microsoft USB 3 host controller. This method replaces 2 Microsoft drivers with Intel drivers.

I truly want to say THANK YOU, to everyone here at XDA-Developers. It is truly one of best communities for help, advice and resources and no one is ever left behind.
I was able to use my Win7 desktop at work, (very open workplace) and use the drivers that come with the All In One Root Kit and was able to get Fastboot USB and get my ROM back on my phone. I am now completely back to stock, wow that was scary stuff.
Above all else I learned a HUGE lesson, ask questions, wait for responses and ask more questions if you don't understand because someone will help you. Just as I was helped and saved last night and today by everyone here I too will pay it forward in anyway I can.
Thank you all for your help. HTC is NOT getting my $200 for a new motherboard. I mean their Tech Support at 12:20am is not that great but at least someone was there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

I am currently getting error: device not found
i am on a windows 7 64bit pc that has been formatted since the last time i installed a new rom
i am also using a usb-otg cable with a 7gb FAT32 thumb drive
after a complete wipe in recovery I cannot get my phone to recognize my usb-otg and after trying to do an adb sideload adb will not recognize the phone.
I need to either get usb-otg to work or adb to recognize my phone. I think my problem with ADB is a driver issue on the pc, I have tried various driver instillations from http://adbdriver.com/ , http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/ , and the driver download link in hasoon2000's AIO kit, as well as the xda guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799 .
however i am always left with M7wls under other devices in the device manager
I have also tried restarting the adb server and checking adb devices, but the phone never shows up
update: I was able to install cwm in fastboot usb hoping i would get the usb otg to work, but usb otg still will not mount
2nd update: the phone is now recognized as My HTC in fastboot and seems to work fine with fastboot commands and is now recognized as One in CWM still unable to sideload
I suspect my problem might be that i never had my phone connected while it had a rom installed so it never discovered it properly, instead it is trying to discover it as whatever the recovery says it is?
I am also still unable to get my usb otg to work CWM says "error mounting /external_sd!" if the usb otg would work my problems would be solved, can someone tell me how to prepare a thumb drive to work with usb otg in twrp or cwm

i was having the same problem what i did i uninstall the sync manager and drivers, rebooted my computer then redownloaded the sync manager let it install the htc drivers then connect the phone to pc let recognized the device and boom it was working for me.... hope that helps
that did change the phone name in the device manager about a minute long enough to sideload once, but when trying to sideload again the cmd said the server was out of date and closed, and looking at the device manager the name reverted back to M7WLS
do you have the sdk tools up to date on your pc?

i also am still unable to get my 7gb fat32 thumbdrive to work as usb otg
M7wls driver

what root folder are you placing the zip file to sideload?
I believe it will not sideload because your rom zip isn't in the correct folder on your computer. With the sdk installed it would have to be in the platform-tools folder with hasoons toolkit I don't know.

How did you fix the recovery? I'm having the same issue you had but I'm using PhilZ Touch 5 recovery. This is why I hate HTC for not adding a SD card slot in this phone and its the last phone I will ever get that doesn't come with that option. If this were my EVO LTE I'd be up and running in minutes. Its been two days now and this damn iphone wannabe crap is making me sick. I regret this phone so much but you live and you learn. Anyway can you please help me figure this out for PhilZ Touch 5. I don't see how it wouldn't work any different than TWRP.
I use this video to help me but when I get to adb devices my phone isn't found.

It's a driver problem on your pc.... are you using windows 8.1 preview?
i'm using xp on all 3 of my computers. my one x connects fine. i all drivers installed including adb.
it wont connect in bootloader,fastboot or recovery either.
Ok i have looked at the device id and it comes up with this in fastboot USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&4091F22&0&2
Now i have looked in the usb drivers and this id is not there , so it looks like a driver problem
How can i get this driver with the id in, as i have downloaded many drivers but with no luck.

Uninstall HTC sync and drivers. Reconnect phone, and it should automatically re-install sync manager and drivers. If it does not, however, you need to manually install the drivers. Also, make sure your drivers are up to date. Installing the android sdk might not be a bad idea either.
Thanks for the reply. Tried everything even fresh pc setup . Something in my phone is wrong and cannot get any recognition from it . It shows usb fastboot then changes to ac charging . I have checked in usb drivers and that id is not there so it will not let me install manually either.

Maybe a factory reset of your phone would help. I know that's a hassle, but it might reset or reconfigure whatever was lost or corrupted along the way.
Have done that thanks. Flashes different roms also .. can a different firmware be flashed through terminal emulator. Cannot even mount phone storage through usb. It just keeps alternating between unknown device and nothing.

Wow. Here's a hail mary then. Let the battery run out. Download stock RUU. Connect to PC, and see if fastboot usb comes up. If yes, boot into recovery, and flash RUU. Start from scratch.
I did try that to be honest. Is there anything special I need to know about doing that ..do I let the phone charge fully or anything before I try fastboot. Thanks for your help.

No, let the battery drain completely. Then reconnect it. As soon as anything on the phone shows up (normally the charging sign) get into bootloader. Boot to recovery and flash the RUU. Of course, it's all contingent on recovery being able to read usb, which it should (recovery uses different port and drivers than boot or oem).
Thanks I will give that a go. If that doesn't work is there an update.zip or img I can flash through hboot that will return the phone to stock. ?

If that doesn't work, you could try downloading a zip of your stock, renaming it update.zip (or anything.zip, really), and flashing that. But I'm pretty certain that you'd have to use adb to flash that through recovery too. Good luck with it all, and I hope you get back on track!

To test this, plug your usb cable into the wall charger and see if it charges. If it does, it's working. If not, if you have another micro usb cable, try that. If it still doesn't work, then I would contact HTC about what your options might be (new phone, new usb cable, etc.). Good luck.

Connect the phone to your pc. Cycle through all the different boot modes, boot, bootloader, and recovery. Do you hear any sound from the pc indicating it's picking up a device? If so, it's working, it's just not showing up while in android connected to pc, which would indicate an issue with drivers on your pc. If a sound happens during boot to recovery, leave it on recovery and get into adb mode on pc and attempt to flash the RUU. As soon as it's flashed completely, disconnect it from pc, completely uninstall ANYTHING having to do with HTC, android or 3rd party drivers. Then, reconnect the phone to your pc, and see if it auto installs the drivers and shows.
I have tried everything you have suggested . Even fresh install of xp on pc . Then installed htc sync from htc website . Plugged phone in , but still won't recognize phone . I get no usb connected icon on phone either . It just charges and get usb malfunctioning error on pc . I cannot use external usb drive on phone either .

Well, I can't think of anything else that would help. I think you should contact HTC and see if they've had other issues similar to yours, or if they can help you, but it sounds like your phone's usb is defective. If your phone came unlocked, you should be able to send it and receive a new one. Other than that, I really have no more suggestions. Best of luck.

The only thing I can think of then is to find an RUU for your phone hopefully. ADB Push/Sideload normally works in your situation. Try a different cable, different USB port, different computer

do you have a windows computer?
you most likely just need to install some drivers and then ADB will work.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74163067/HTC ONE DRIVERS.zip
those are the windows drivers. unzip the folder. open device manager. see here http://i.imgur.com/9LeGRJI.png
right click the "htc one" > "update driver software" > "browse my computer" then select the folder where you extracted the zip to. it will automatically install the correct driver. do the same for "my HTC" or any other devices that appear in those two top-level menus.
Have been through multiple drivers, some of which apparently work but still cant find the device when i try to push or sideload.
Have just done a full wipe and am going to attempt starting again from scratch with TWRP and Revolution HD.
Just to clarify I have tried multiple ports and cables, even bought a new USB 3 card, I don't have access to another PC or Laptop.

sideload is working as I type... it seems flashing recovery as aposed(SP?) to just booting a recovery makes a world of difference, will let you know if the install works. usb3 doesn't seem to be an issue though.

To flash with adb you need to boot ur phone in recovery mode, not in the bootloader... Took me a while to understand that
So, pretty much the title. I'm pretty noobish when it comes to phones, and think i messed it up. I'm currently with Rogers, and what i did i unlocked it, and put the Google Play edition onto my phone, because i personally did not like the Blink Feed. So me being awful with phones, after the update came out for the Google Play 4.4 KitKat, I decided to update the firmware... Not realizing that it would mess my phone up... I have no rom to go back too, which would of probably saved this whole problem... Also another huge problem, my Phone does not want to be found by my computer... I would of just easily fixed it by flashing another rom, but i can't because it doesn't want to be recognized. Basically my phone right now boots up half way to the Google Logo, and then goes to a blue/green screen and stays there till i decide to turn it off.. I can get into bootloader, but that's as far much as i can do... Any help would be awesome, because i'm lost as far as it goes and decided to come here to post about it... Considering this is the best website for phones and whatnot... Thanks ahead of time guys!!
BUMP!
You have to fix your driver issues.. without it can't help. Try a different computer, usb port, usb cable, different htc driver package, anything to get your device detected when running
adb devices
or
fastboot devices (in bootloader/fastboot mode)

The thing is, the only time it can recognize it is when it is in fastboot, it says it's connected but it on the phone but doesn't connect to the computer :/
Interesting... what about changing your HTC drivers. There are a few links floating around. Do you have Windows 7 or 8/8.1?

Sorry for super late reply, fell asleep. Also Windows 7, tried installing different drivers to no avail
Can't help if the phone refuses to respond to fastboot devices in bootloader mode.. or adb devices in custom recovery..

Says it's connected, [FastBoot USB] Also says it's connected via Device Manager, http://gyazo.com/f9dfe5d0ab3f184f3b085d776e765d2c But, does not appear in my computer. http://gyazo.com/b23dc0defe0d657a7a4aab8abcc2866e Wish i could get a picture of my phone as well, but you know
Hello.I am in some kind of a trouble..I just bought a phone with firmware problems,hoping i could make it work.The problem is this,someone tried to update the firmware,unsuccesfully,and now it's stuck with no OS.I can only start recovery and bootloader.
Recovery is Teamwin 2.6.3.3.Already tried to clear cache and everything,to use an USB with OTG,but it's not recognised,ADB sideload also it's not working.
adb devices shows the phone is not connected,and FastBoot says "Waiting for device".Any idea? I've tried,read a lot,but I can't really work it out..
Also,I can't find the device in Device Manager,neither in ADB nor Fastboot.
I tried using Windows 8.1 and 7..Same deal.
Thank you!

Is it a M8 or a M7, because your title says M8 but you have posted in the M7 forum.
Sorry,I am quite scared.It's M7.

First, follow instructions given in this post to install the latest android sdk-tools and the latest htc drivers. Also make sure you don't have HTC Sync installed on your computer.
Then connect your phone to you computer with the original cable (or any other cable already known to work for data transfer - some usb cable are only providing power), reboot the phone in bootloader mode by holding vol down and power. Make sure you see the red "fastboot usb" caption on the screen, if not use vol up/down and power to select the "fastboot" menu. Once there open a command window form the android sdk-tools folder and type "fastboot getvar all". Copy/paste the ouput of this command here (except the imei and serialno).
I've followed that,and still not working.pics attached.
It's very weird,because I was expecting for a soundfrom the Windows,like a new device connected .But ..nothing

With your phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, go to your windows device manager, take a screenshot of your device manager and post it here please.
The unknown device is related to my laptop.Nothing happens when I connect the phone.

Ok so its not detected at all
Might be caused by
a bad usb cable --> Try another one that you are 100% sure its working
a bad usb port on the computer (use only usb 2.0 ports btw)
a problem with the computer ---> Try another computer.
a bad usb port on the phone ---> need to replace the usb/front mic board
Might also worth to fix your laptop drivers problem. Might be causing problem if the "unknown" device is an adapter or usb controller...
Then reboot the computer.
I think we can exclude the first two,because I've tried 2 different USB cables,and with my S2 ,both of them are working,even ADB.I will try to replace the usb port from the phone,and then try again.But,do you think it will work ?
Thank you!

Its hard to tell, there isn't any background info about what was done on that phone. The usb board is pretty cheap so it worth a try if you are 100% sure everything else is fine (computer, cables etc..)
I understand,but,I mean,as far as I know,it's not hard brick,because the phone is still booting..in some way ..so if I manage to connect it,I can flash the rom..am I right?

Normally it should be pretty easy to fix if you can get fastboot and adb connectivity. You could then update the firmware so you can flash the correct RUU to restore the phone back to stock, already made the research and all the files (firmware and ruu) you'll need are available.

Sorry for the late reply,the phone is now in service,in 1-2 days they should fix the USB board,and I will get back with more info soon.
Thank you very much for your quick answers and for taking time to help me!
Good news,I've managed to unbrick it.I asked a friend with a Mac to check it out,and his Mac recognized with no problems.Installed the Os,but still,Windows can't detect it.I've tried on 2 pc's(7 and 10) with the proper drivers.Weird..
Anyway,thank you for your time @alray !
