edit and tldr
ok so i recieved the phone from htc with a bootloop out of the box
instead of sending it back i was a numpty and decided to sort it myself and unlocked it to flash a rom
i accidentially deleted all the data
managed to get my winsows 8 laptop working today and got drivers working smoothly to the point i was able to sideload a rom so the phone finally had life from being a brick
my issue is no matter what rom i load it boots to splash screen, hangs at a black screen with the status bar at the top and battery and time then reboots and repeats.
i want help to get my phone back to life and stable with a workable rom and no bootlooping
i dont know what the issue is
i dont have s off
rumrunner wont work
i cannot boot into phone to allow debugging or disable fast boot
please help

hi there, thank you for the reply, i have done steps 1, id already done that but ive done it again and installed the sdk into a folder in c drive for ease. the only problem is that when i click on fastboot in xp it comes up with a cmd windows a lot of writing comes down and then it just closes :/
ive already voided the warranty as ive somehow managed to unlock the bootloader and ive flashed cmw now what i need to do is somehow get s off and sideload a rom
another issue i have is that because i cant use fastboot the way youve said, ive downloaded an all in one tool from this forum, when i click a process it dosent do anything for me, but what it does so, is open a cmd window in which im able to type in fast boot commands i did the getvar all command and here is what you requested
'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Why don't you think they would give you a new working one?... :s (this is just a rhetorical question)
thanks for your reply, i am not able to open a command by selecting the white space as for toonight im running on a 15 year old xp laptop. i will try the ruu but any i have tried have concluded in giving what i think was a 170 error saying use correct ruu
the ruu you have linked indicates i need s off, which i am having trouble doing, could you guide me ? i am thinking when i have fixed my windows 8 laptop tommorow this is going to be a smoother process. it also says i need hboot 1.44 and have to flash this

If you don't solve it before I get a lil bit of time, I can try for tonight but can't promise it as it's still hectic here at work, I'll log in remotely and have a look at things if you want, and try to help you get it sorted.
In the meantime, you can take a picture of the hboot or fastboot screen that you get to with power + vol down and post it, and that will help you get the information from us for more information on the phone.
Also post a shot of the correspondence from HTC with your personal information removed/redacted/left out and that will also help us help you.
DO NOT ATTEMPT S - OFF with the knowledge and hardware that you're working with, you first need to use adb and fastboot some and be familiar with it before even going there. I'm not saying not ever, I'm saying not until you've resolved this and the phone's running good.

when i run rumrunner with my version 2.24.401.1 it just says run again and read. so obviously failing. i did everything before i typed fastboot devices and got my device code, then getvar ver to get my number and downloaded appropriately but rum runner dosent work. so no s off. i give up.
sorry didnt read your reply, well it didnt initialise so no s off anyway

flash twrp/cwm recovery to your one
open the sideload feature of the customer recovery on your phone and connect to your computer usb
download this and put the downloaded file together with your adb and fastboot folder
then adb sideload or adb push the dowloaded guru reset to your One
once it is done, you can install the guru reset zip using the custom recovery install option
right just to update i have some semi good news and fell im getting somewhere
got my windows 8 laptop up and running today and installed all drivers and adp corrdctly, this accounts for the intel usb 3 mod too. adb and fastboot were recognising the device.
ive succesfully got out of brick mode and managed to get a rom to sideload to the deviice, the rom being viper rom in question, installed successfully, only issue is i have a wierd bootlooping issue where it does actually boot to lockscreen but when i pull lockscreen up with my finger it shows htc splash screen.
having ago with android revolution now.
wondering if i have to flash a boot.img or something
can anyone advise ?
ive spent countless days on this
regarding the current flash, it stays on splash screen and a box pops up system ui stopped. will flashing the guru reset ruu.zip for my version work ? ill try it now otherwise afterthat im out of ideas now,

adb wont work in the bootloader, heres where the fun starts:
ADB commands only work in a booted rom or in a custom recovery, they don't work in the bootloader
Fastboot commands only work in the bootloader, they don't work in a booted rom or recovery.
phew.....glad we got that bit out of the way
first thing is first, can you start downloading this, its your reset rom file, but the servers are a little slow, that's why I say start, when its finished downloading, rename it to rom.zip for ease, and put it in the same folder on your computer where adb and fastboot files are please, heres the file: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
whilst that is downloading, you will need to goto HTC Dev and unlock your bootloader, just follow the instructions they give you, its a piece of cake, and as you already have adb and fastboot, you wont need to download the 3 files later on that they tell you to download: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
your flags will then turn to UNLOCKED and TAMPERED, this is normal, nothing to worry about.
report back when done.

you could try one of the alternative links on that site, however, if your happy with your phone the way it is now then you wont need that file.
just scroll down the page a little and theres 2 alternative download links.

Its software that is not customized. Wikipedia says:
Computer software, and sometimes also other computing-related systems like computer hardware or algorithms, is called Vanilla when not customized from its original form, meaning that it is used without any customizations or updates applied to it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_software
Maybe actual vanilla would be stock android without any htc customizatios though.

ahh I see, now that's where we were heading originally, to get pure stock rom you will need to download that file I linked you too earlier, and as your phone is booting now, just copy the file to your internal storage not into the adb and fastboot folder.
i'll tell you what to do next if you want to proceed.

when the file has finished downloading, check the MD5 and file size before copying it to your phone, just to make sure its not corrupt.
then what you will have to do, is copy that file you are downloading to your internal storage, then reboot your phone to the bootloader and plug it into the computer,. make sure it says fastboot usb on the screen.
then download this file: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
and put it in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, open a command window (CMD) in that folder by holding control + shift + right mouse click in any white area of that folder and select open a command window here, then type the following commands one at a time, wait for each command to finish before issuing the next.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
once that is done, unplug your phone and enter recovery using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select.
when in recovery goto wipe and just swipe to factory reset, do not advanced wipe.
when done, goto install and in the list it gives you, select the file you downloaded and copied to your internal storage, swipe to begin the install, follow the instructions, and when it gives you the options, select yes wipe data, yes install stock radio and yes install stock recovery.
once installation is complete, it will ask you to reboot, when you select reboot, if the screen goes black (this doesn't always happen, most times it reboots without any problems), just hold down the power button until the lights on the bottom flash 10 to 15 times and then the phone will boot to full stock rom with OTA ability.
I know this sounds long and confusing, but you will see as you go along its easy, just don't skip any steps.
if you have any problems, just report back here, but if you follow my instructions it should run like clockwork.

Reboot into fastboot mode.
Hold Power + Volume Down until, select Fastboot.
Run this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
We can then get the CID/Model and Fastboot version so you can use an RUU to recover the device.

you can use that RUU to restore your phone: http://www.htc1guru.com/2014/03/att-ruu/
with s-on you must have a locked or re-locked bootloader use it.
and btw, remove imei and serialno from your above post.

ok, also make sure to check that the MD5 value of your downloaded file will match the value given on the website.

you can use winMd5 program to check the value.

you can unlock again the same way you did the first time, using the unlock_code.bin you have received from htcdev.com. if the unlock code you already have doesnt work anymore, request a new unlock code by submitting you identifier token again.

I was more or less asking for your preference.
Your phone has partitions of memory which hold data, and when you update or install a custom ROM, the recovery utility mounts the partitions so they can be accessed to write and read data. Android does this every-time you turn on your phone. Formatting a partition doesn't delete it, it simply removes everything. CyanogenMod incorporated "block by name" mounting. Which basically makes it easier to mount partitions without being device specific.
Try this version of TWRP: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img
Anything above 2.7.1.1 should work, anything below will not.
For ClockWorkMod anything above 6.0.4.8 will work.
So it's been a good few days with my M7 given to me by a friend. I am totally new at the whole custom ROM thing but had no problems with root, unlock, s-off, etc. but took me many hours as I've rarely used Cmd functions. Still have stock 4.1.2 sense 5.0. Time to move forward so ..... downloaded TWRP and ROM Installer, etc. Decided to update firmware next as some ROMs need later and lost touchscreen function. No other issues, boots fine into whatever and recovers into TWERP with full function of touchscreen. Should I flash older firmware or can I loaded newer ROM through TWERP to get back in the game ? need to answer calls and texts at some point soon !

If you have Stock 4.1.2 rom and the latest firmware that's almost certainly your problem. But rather than flashing older firmware why not flash a newer rom ?

Exactly what I was intending to do anyway which was reason for firmware upgrade (guess I put the cart before the horse 1) , can I do this through TWRP ? Do I download said ROM on my laptop and copy to directory on phone then load through TWRP ? Thanks for your help. As i stated , this is all new territory to me ....... any guidance appreciated (or links to assist) thanks.

Ok start with this http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_84.0.zip
Android Kitkat 4.4.3 Sense 6
Download the rom and put the file in your fastboot folder on your PC and rename it rom.zip. Boot to TWRP recovery (2.6.3.3 Recommended) and connect your usb cable. Check adb is working with
Code:
adb devices
If you get the expected out put
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete. Factory reset and install the rom from TWRP
Gotta ask a quick question , just curious. I cannot download the rom onto PC then drag to folder on the phone then install through TWRP ? Not questioning method and advice given , just thinking as I have no experience and seems like it would do the same, but I wouldn't know ! I will proceed through command prompt as recommended for now .....

Awesome. As stated, all was well until flashing firmware 6.06.401.1 which may have been too big of a jump for my stock 4.1.2. The flash showed successful and went fine but I've read elsewhere that I should have been "relocked" before flashing , then unlocked after ? I am not seeing this step on all instructions ( I followed this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651 ) Also didn't verify model ID (PN0712000) , may need to find a different firmware and re-flash ? Never got errors , just lost touch screen (which sounds common). Thanks all , hittin' the sack as this download from Android Rev is taking forever (need a torrent) ! Goodnight and thanks for feedback to come (something to look forward to in the AM).

Well you could always change your CiD to Dev Edition and flash the Dev Edition firmware. And no you do not need to relock your bootloader to flash firmware, That is only for S-on users. Your phone is s-off :good:
The problem with the touch screen will be the big gap between firmware and rom. think of it like using Window 8 with Windows 95 Drivers

Thanks all - everything up and running. Didn't go developer but may consider if there are any real advantages (I would assume only if running stock, correct ?) Not sure when they'll be releasing Lollipop for this M7 but supposedly soon
Hi guys, my first post on here, sorry it has to be a request for help.. I've read through a mountain of threads about M7 issues, but none seem to match my issue, so I figure I can only ask.
Oh, by the way, I am very much a novice at this, so I may need things to be explained in a little more detail than some. I'm not a total noob as I have modded a few other phones in the past.
I have an HTC One M7 and decided I wanted to flash a different ROM. I went to HTCDEV and went through the process to unlock the bootloader. This went flawlessly.
I then installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 in fastboot. Again no problems.
I have an OTG cable (with external power).
I made a backup with TWRP which went ahead without error.
I then did a test flash of ViperOne 6.2.0 which went without issue, but ultimately I wanted to flash ARHD 91.1 (Lollipop 5.0.2).
My problem is that after ViperOne 6.2.0 I can no longer install ANY ROM at all. It says installing but then TWRP returns to the main menu with no error mentioned. I'm sure it's something I've done, just don't know what. After a few failed flashes I did format various partitions, and I suspect I flumped something at this point!?!
It's like the all the partitions on the phone are locked. And everytime I exit TWRP it says you have no OS installed and also says I'm not rooted and do I want to install SuperSU. I say yes everytime, but it will ask the next time still.
It's got to the point that I've ran out of ideas, so I hope there is someone that may have an idea.
So to summarise,
I have an unlocked bootloader.
I am still S-ON as I have HBOOT 1.57 and Rumrunner wont work.
I have no ROM installed, so cannot boot the phone into anything but fastboot and recovery (I can still flash different recovery environments from fastboot)
Hopefully someone may have an idea. Thanks very much in advance.

ok first of all, you need to use TWRP latest for Lollipop custom roms, 2.6.3.3 is too old, use 2.8.6.0, also, expect problems with Lollipop roms whilst your still on KitKat firmware (hboot 1.57), you really need to be on Lollipop firmware to use Lollipop custom roms.
People using the latest Lollipop custom roms on KK firmware are reporting no wifi, Bluetooth issues etc.
can you post your fastboot getvar all please without imei and serial number please.

yup shows me a lot of info: 6.16.61.8 this shows me your on Orange UK network, although its now T-Mo & Orange together as EE, sorry but they've not released the Lollipop update yet for the 61's which is the 3rd set of numbers pulled from that long number above, this also confirms your on orange UK ORANG001 and so does this: PN0710000 kind of......... long story
m7_ul this tells me you have the LTE version of the M7
4275mV battery info = good
4T.28.3218.04 radio version
1.57.0000 hboot version
(bootloader) security: on (bootloader) build-mode: SHIP PVT SHIP S-ON basically your s-on
it would show your imei number and serial number too, but you want to keep those 2 numbers to yourself.

plug your phone into the computer whilst its booted into recovery main screen only, the internal storage of your phone should open on your computer, copy the rom.zip to your internal storge, unplug and flash it.
I'm pretty sure 2.8.6.0 supports usb otg, you may have to select it as a storage option first as it defaults to internal storage, cant quite remember as I'm on an M8 now.
edit: yes it does, select install and then at the top change from internal storage to usb otg.
I've re installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 and finally got it to see the USB stick (reformatted it). But when I try and install it seems to be going ahead, but after a minute or to I get the TeamWin splash screen flash up as though recovery is booting and it returns to the main menu. Oddly, the LED on the memory stick is still flashing!?!
I'll try installing from the phones internal memory like you suggested and hopefully that will work. Thank you so much for this, I'll update in a while.
Okay, I've got the ROM on the internal storage and am currently trying to install it. It has gone through to suggest it has installed so I am rebooting...
It has got further than I have with the OTG all day, so I have my fingers crossed...
Waiting...
Waiting...
And we have lift off, wow! It installed fine that time, thank bacon for that! I really didn't need the expense of getting another phone at the moment, what with car insurance, van insurance, van tax, and all the other bits I've just forked out for.. I would have been phoneless (and possibly homeless!) for the next several weeks!
So it was perhaps a dodgy flash drive or OTG cable maybe? Strange that it worked before.
I can not thank you enough! Strangely I did try to put the ROM on the internal storage earlier, but it said the ROM file was too large to transfer to internal storage!? Not sure why it suddenly let me, but very happy it has! Thank you again, without your suggestion I probably wouldn't have bothered trying that method again. :victory:
You're awesome.

you are very welcome, I just use my USB OTG for backup's and restores, never tried flashing a rom from it.
