ADB can't find device, stuck in recovery - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Hi all. Yesterday I tried to flash ARHD with TWRP and got an error that others seemed to experience with this ROM on TWRP: at 99% it sent me back into bootloader and I couldn't do anything, it was pretty much stuck there. I relocked my bootloader and tried to flash the stock RUU, but since I had already gotten the update from Sprint the versions were different and it wouldn't go through. I couldn't find another RUU for the newest version, so I re-unlocked my bootloader and took off TWRP to replace it with CWM. At this point, I am able to get back into recovery. I thought I would try to sideload a stock ROM but adb can't seem to find my device. I keep getting the error "device not found". I updated drivers with the All-In-One Toolkit (which may not be up to date, but I can't find any other sources) and I uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync Manager. I also tried every USB port and even unplugging every USB except for the one connected to my phone.
Does anybody have any other suggestions for solutions? I've been browsing similar topics but I can't seem to find a method that makes my phone usable yet. Thank you for your time!

If I'm not mistaken,ARHD is a GSM Rom,it messed up your partitions,search for the thread on 4.2 downgrade and there's files you have to move

Okay, managed to get ADB working. For some reason it doesn't work on USB3 ports :S
Sideloaded a ROM, but I got no network signal, and it restarted itself within about 2 mins.
I have re-locked, and am running RUU now, if this doesn't work what shall I do?
Okay the RUU worked fine. Thanks for the help guys!
Latest versions on intl. roms are 4.2.2. They won't work on sprint. Since there is no sprint support the updater script wipes our radio and boot partition because they have a different partition table than we do. It's just f.y.I so you know what went wrong

Yeah I realised, but the text in the post is VERY misleading.

Maybe its just me being crazy, but I assumed anything later would work, to me that sounded like everything below 9.4 would not.
Diddo
The exact thing happened to me!!! the ARHD posts are very misleading!! I also had to do a RUU on it.. it made me made cause i really wanted that rom. Have you found any other ROM with 4.2.2 that will work with sprint htc one? I cant find anything.

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.

granted I didn't follow the instructions. that's what I get for thinking I know what im doing. just because ive flashed some before. but I didn't realize this was an international forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2115&nocache=1&z=3553232956118556)

error: device not found

Soft bricked cant get back to OS

Ill try to describe my situation as best I can but if I miss something feel free to ask.
So a tried to root my phone and flash a new rom a few days ago, everything was going well until I flashed the rom (Android Revolution).
It took me back to the bootloader and now its stuck in bootloop. I can get to recovery just fine but whenever I try to flash anything or sideload it says it can't find my device.
When I'm in fastboot it can find my phone just fine and it works from there, but if I try ADB it cant find it.
My phone is Sprint HTC One on 1.31, with 4.2 update, unlocked with TWRP recovery, S-ON, and what seems like no OS.
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but after spending 2+ days trying to fix my phone and digging the forums to no avail all I think I can do is ask for help.
[Fixed]
bigdaddy619 helped me out, think the problem was that I was missing some ADB files on my computer and didn't have the latest the Android SDK.
He changed it to work with the 1.29 update with the command:
adb shell
echo 1.29.00 | dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 bs=1 skip=160
adb reboot bootloader

It's been asked about 1500 times by people who don't take the time to read before they flash. You flashed a GSM Rom on your CDMA phone.
Now to fix it follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44243635
To make your life easy you will need drivers for your phone the best are the universal naked drivers for HTC One
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
If installed, uninstall HTC sync, and disable any anti virus or firewalls including Windows firewall. You will also need to download ADB if you don't have it minimal ADB is great

[Q] HTC One Sprint M7WLS softbricked, don't know what else to do.

With the new 4.3 OTA I thought I might be good to delve into updating my phone today. That was around Noon, it's now 9PM, and I just don't know where else to turn. I know where I screwed up a few things and I feel like I've tried everything. Hopefully you guys will have some helpful suggestions, if not I guess I'll have to bite the bullet.
I'm a noob at rooting. I did root my HTC Evo Shift a year or two ago. Put CM 7.something on it, but I really wasn't happy with the performance so I just RUU'd back to stock and haven't messed with it since. I did leave it rooted for some root required apps though.
I rooted my HTC One a couple months ago using this method:
On gizmodo how-to-root-your-nexus-htc-one-or-samsung-galaxy-s4-990847878 (can't link it because I just signed up)
With 4.3 out I thought I would be able to find a modified update and keep my phone Stock rooted or try InsertCoin or something. My first mistake, I believe, was thinking that root was fine without S-Off.
I've got Drivers and Android SDK on my Win7 machine (I have a Mac and Fedora box if anyone knows any solutions using those OS's). I have on the phone TWRP 2.5.0.0, root, S-On. I try to upgrade to TWRP 2.6.0.0 and that doesn't work so well. I read somewhere that the M7WLS doesn't like that build, and I should try 2.6.0.1, I just strait to 2.6.3.0.
Read some articles on TWRP, watched some videos, so I go to do factory data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe, and I do system wipe thinking I need to do that too. Whenever I reboot I basically stop at the HTC splash screen. Mistake number two, I have no OS now.
I hunt down a recovery.img from a site that is supposedly offical Sprint, flash it, try to do a factory restore, no good.
I try getting it back to stock with this:
How to Unroot / Unbrick the HTC One M7: Back to Stock by C4Etech
youtube.com C0G0hKY4P9Y
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <rom>.zip
I get errors whether locked or unlocked. I still have S-On and I'm guessing that's why I'm getting signature validation errors.
I try TWRP and ClockworkMod 6.0.4.3 to see if I can mount to my PC, no go.
Fastboot devices recognizes the M7WLS so after more reading I'm going to try ADB sideload. ADB devices does not see my phone. HT Sync is already installed, I remove it and try HTCDriver_4.2.0.001, no go. I remove it and try Universal_Naked_Driver_0.73, still nothing on adb devices. Whether TWRP or ClockworkMod Recovery I can't side seem to sideload.
I go to the store and pick up a cable:
Staples.com Belkin-4-Ports-USB-20-External-Flex-Hub product_IM1QZ5590 (Can't link)
Put
insertcoin-m7-4.0-4.zip AND
Guru_Reset_M7_Sprint_1.29.651.10.zip
on a USB stick, but the phone doesn't recognize it so I can load from either recovery.
I'm sure I've missed a few things in there. Right now I'm sunk, I'm tired, and suggestions are appreciated.
Try buy a USB to go and put a Rom on a Memory stick them using TWRecovery flash the Rom if you have any questions feel free to ask

Thanks for the input Demo. I actually connected it to OSX and the adb devices came right up so I was able to do a rom side load. Thanks again though.

Looking for help on botched update attempt....

Hello, haven't used this site in years but I'm hoping someone could help out. I believe my HTC One M9 (T-Mobile) is in a bad state and not sure if I'm going to be able to recover it.
Current Status: The phone only boots into the bootloader, attempting to goto recovery it states there isn't one. S-ON **Relocked**
What was done: I'm sure I screwed it all up by doing a 'fastboot oem lock', which was done from my understanding that the phone wouldn't be able get OTA updates unless it was. I assume that was the culprit as before that I had TWRP and a rooted OS. I've read through this thread here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-one-m9/general/please-read-rooting-using-twrp-t3069022) quite a bit. But I know I messed something up and now just looking for help getting it back.
I've tried an RUU(RUU_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_3.39.531.7), but it said my battery was under 30% yet its over 80%, trying to charge and maybe try again. Also tried the 4.27.531.6 RUU, though Error132 (assuming that didn't work because of the firmware being a 3.x and not 4.x from my reading). Current OS says " 3.39.531.7 " in download mode. This is a longshot honestly. But I don't really have any other options, kinda need the phone and want to believe there's still hope in restoring it. I'm able to do fastboot commands. I'm just not sure what I can do because I'm not able to flash due to s-on, no recovery (that i know of, that happened after the fastboot oem lock command) i can get in to, no system to boot into. Almost tried using the Unlock_code.bin, but I wasn't even able to use the fastboot oem get_identifier_code (that failed as well) in order to generate another one from htcdev. So I'm at a loss here, I've spent hours and hour on reading and not getting anywhere. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I can give any more info that would help to restoring, but again, I can ONLY access the bootloader screen/download mode...and that's about it Fingers crossed someone could assist/guide me in getting this thing running again.
Edit: Well I managed to get the bootloader unlocked again using the code from HTC (I found out I was on the wrong screen, was in the bootloader when I needed to be in Download mode for the get_identifier_code to work.) Now that's done, it rebooted and TWRP is still there and booted back into the system. I'm probably gonna say F*@# it to OTA updates unless someone could still help out with that. Have 2.8.6.4 TWRP installed. But as is, the phone is working again so that's good enough for now.
Hello all,
Sorry to bother u all. I tried to find answer myself by reading posts but couldnt find one . I have a HTC One-M9 phone with Bootloader Unlocked,S-OFF,Rooted and on Kitkat Sense 51 2.7.531.6. I found some bugs on my phone and i want to reflash with this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298918830 which is exactly my version. If i flash with this using fastboot
(i) Will my unlocked bootloader will be locked/relocked
(ii) Will my S-OFF turns to S-ON. I dont want this to happen because i have to install a software which needs to modify kernel.
Right now I made a Nandroid Backup using TWRP. If anything goes wrong how to restore from nandroid. Please answer my questions and help me.
After a long a arduous journey, I've finally managed to get the phone updated to Nougat, back to root with the TWRP recovery. I was able to run the 3.xx RUU after removing HTC Sync and going to Device Manager and picking the HTC Driver from list. Made a backup after the fresh install of Nougat, but I figured I could run the 4.x RUU if I ever need to OTA again. But for now, I've got the phone updated as far as I can and back to root so I'm good. Mods feel free to delete this thread, apologies if it was in the wrong section. @bsskkd, sorry but I'm not too sure, maybe someone with more knowledge will be able to help out.
