I'll try to keep this one explained simple
- Was running have boot loader unlocked and am rooted, was trickdroid
- Decided to try what else was out there for ROMS, switched to Renovate rom, was a downgrade from trickdroid in my eyes
- Decided to switch to one more rom before making the jump back to trickdroid, accidentally wiped internal storage data along with everything else
- After wasting most of my day messing with this crap, I finally got everything back to somewhat operational again
- My internal memory and Cache at one point were unmountable and read 0MB, had to do a factory reset via boot loader then a full wipe using TWRP
- Finally have trickdroid installed and its semi operational, aside from the fact that when I load it, it instantly has no service, no internet, nothing. It sends me to the launcher portion and there are no apps on there either. Shortly after it starts it will restart the device.
-After doing several restarts into recovery I have confirmed that the system partition consistently unchecks itself and I have already attempted fixing permissions several times and doing a system wipe and full ROM install again.. same issue to no avail.
- Last night I actually managed to pull up icons and programs, somehow, but again there was no system being loaded up
A little help please? I am in a state of a soft brick at this point, which is not bad considering I had a SUPER HARD brick earlier.
Help me, please. I just want to get this phone back to a functioning state!

A hard brick is unrecoverable. It means your phone is literally as responsive as a brick. I would say your phone is pretty functional if the actual OS loads.
Anyway, have you tried RUU? That usually brings everything back to normal. Be sure to use the correct one, and note that you will lose EVERYTHING. Even root.
EDIT: Try this.

So I did try using this link and downloaded the full zip file and unzipped as per instructions of QBKing77 off of youtube, then clicked setup.exe within the folder which was unzipped, but after it ran through its setup process, nothing else popped up? I tried doing it as well through hasoons all in one toolkit but while that worked, it didn't work as expected and it just stayed at the black htc screen. I'm lost at the moment.
Trickdroid works on the Sprint variant?

We should add to the Q/A sticky the names of ROMs NOT to flash like Android revolution, trickdroid, etc.
P.S. He tried RUU, he's having trouble.

It wouldn't be as bad if the Int'l forum was marked so. If I were new, I would assume all HTC Ones are the same too.

Very true there are HTC One forums for:
International
Sprint
AT&T
T-Mobile
So it could be confusing to some
Hello from my finally unbricked one! Turns out I was having issues with the computer itself launching installshield so it wouldn't keep the factory RUU running. I did it from a different computer and it did it in stride.. I'm so happy to have this thing back. So on a sidenote I had to rwlock bootloader and then I had to reload the factory RUU.
Hey all, Bquamb here....
So I am just about ready to smash my HTC M7 after all the **** it has put me through..
I do have it fully rooted, Unlocked, yadda yadda w/ Android Rev. 31.6 (i believe) and last night
I noticed just before bed I would check my Xposed framework and found that I had an update.
I had backed up everything onto my Thumb drive... But I have a few huge problems...
So I updated the Xposed framework, Soft rebooted and it stayed on the Opening HTC One
w/ Beatsaudio at the bottom... and stayed like that the whole time i brushed my teeth. Came back,
still illuminated, totally stopped. I hold Power to restart and it does the same loop and stays on the same opening page.
So great.... I go into my CWM and find that my backup didn't actually back up and left me with
one 3 weeks previous... but even that seems to have faults and I lost a lot of important stuff....
Its gone, no point in worrying now.... but I NEED WiFi for work and home use. NOTHING
I open my Wifi, pop in the password and says saved and secured... Will not connect.
3G works fine but am very limited 100Mb... Fail
What the hell happened?! What went wrong? Has anybody else ever had said problem?
I have searched but I think this is a first post. I didn't find anything anywhere else.
Thank you!
I will get you screenshots when I can look at my phone again... Too angry.
Dont forget there is a zip file in /sdcard to revert change made by xposed. It might worth a try if you cant boot

What would the process be to revert this?
I think I forgot to mention, I did a restore from a previous save but its kinda old.
I have been looking everywhere for a solution... I have done everything i have found online (airplane, reboots, WiFi on off, restored 4x) and nothing works. It finds WiFi available hosts but will only save the connection without actually connecting.
So frusterating!

I understand its very frustrating. When you install xposed framework it create 2 files in /sdcard (xposed-disabler-cwm.zip and xposed-disabler-twrp.zip) when you are stuck in a bootloop for something related to xposed, just go in recovery (cwm for you), select install zip, and install xposed-disabler-cwm.zip.
Now that you restored a backup, I really don't know if it will work, but it might work to try. Maybe you want to disable all module and reboot and see if something change before doing the zip method. If nothing change, im afraid you'll need to do a factory reset
---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------
from Xposed site:
In case you get into a boot loop:
You can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
You could also create a file /data/xposed/disabled, which causes Xposed to be bypassed as well.

Still not working... Wt did i do?
I can not connect to any wifi network but will find them.....
I have the same issue.. HTC One, rooted , with maximus hd. I thought it was because of sense toolbox. After I installed the toolbox and updated framework it rebooted and was stuck at boot up screen. I flashed a different Rom but it did the same thing. If you dirty flash the same Rom that was locked it should put all back working. It did for mine anyways. It seems as if it might be something with sense toolbox. I can run exposed with every mod but as soon as I check the toolbox it craps out. I don't have s-off, or CID. Thought I would try that then ran accross thus post. If a solution is found please let us know. I can provide any data if needed.

I am 4 Rom flashes in and ZERO Wifi works. Still scans and finds who ever is around but zero connection.
Grrrr!!!!
How did this happen for you? Was it a Sense or Busybox update? Also, did you update the xposed frame work as well?
I knew it, I knew it, brushing teeth's do **** up the phone. Confirmed!
I am not gonna brush. ever. like ever!
Made it happen again, I went to settings , sense toolbox. Told me the module needs to be installed through framework. Opened framework, check box in toolbox square, framework update, all good will be affective after a reb........ Suddenly it restarts. Stuck in boot up screen, went outside kicked my neighbors dog.
I may be wrong but it only happens when I think about sense toolbox.
I don't know...
HTC ONE
Rooted up, Unlocked, Tampered like he'll...
Running Maximus HD Sense 5.5 KitKat
My Play edition phone has been giving me endless headaches ever since the KitKat update dropped - I can't seem to get it to load.
For the status of my phone before all of this, I unlocked the bootloader, installed ClockworkMod, and used it to install a root Zip. I never wanted or tried to get S-OFF. So the bootloader shows Tampered and Unlocked, but S-ON, version 1.54. Everything worked fine, and I was happy with the phone.
Now, before I get started, my desired end-state for this phone is a bone-stock KitKat installation. I'm okay with not having root, having stock recovery and bootloader, just as long as the stock OTAs arrive and install with zero mucking around with recoveries, ROMs, backups, etc. I bought this phone because I want stock Android and the latest updates ASAP, and I'm not very happy that I've had to spend all of this time messing with it and still don't have the update.
This take starts when the little update icon for KitKat showed up, and in my innocence, I pressed it.
The phone reboots, CWM flashes the update, and reboots into it. Instead of the normal boot, I am greeted with a blue-green screen covered with little green lines, unresponsive to any input. In retrospect, I think this is because I don't have S-OFF, and the KitKat update requires a radio update which the updater includes, but can't be flashed from a modified recovery without S-OFF.
So I boot back into CWM and flash a backup to get my phone working again. I still want KitKat, of course, so it's time to search for other things to try.
First off, I try flashing a stock aftermarket ROM, the one by bigxie. Now the phone boots, but it bootloops, rebooting about 5 seconds after the lock screen comes up. With a little reading and a few questions, I get that this is also because I don't have S-OFF. Mmm, okay. Recover from backup again.
I downloaded the stock GPE RUU, pulled the stock recovery from it, flashed that, and tried to use it to install the OTA update, figuring that it would be signed properly or whatever to flash the radio. Same result as CWM. Install CWM again, restore from backup again.
My options are starting to seem a little limited. It looks like I can either get S-OFF and try the OTA again, or flash the stock GPE RUU and go back to 100% stock. Except that the instructions I found for flashing a stock RUU say that I need S-OFF for that too, though I'm a little skeptical of this - wouldn't that be only for rewriting the Model ID and Cell ID to the GPE?
First, I decide to try getting S-OFF. I get rumrunner S-OFF set up and running (moonshine doesn't have a version for me, and revolutionary doesn't support bootloader 1.54), and it does it's thing for a while, only to tell me at the end:
unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2 options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner (preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix this issue for you!!!.
Better luck next time!!!!bye

Hmm... so I try flashing a kernel. I grabbed flar2's kernel and tried to flash it, and the Aroma installer never goes past 0%. Still reboots into exactly like it was before. Not real inclined to spend a lot of time messing with flashing kernels, since I want to end up at stock.
So next, I try flashing the stock GPE RUU, according to the above instructions. The flash fails with the message:
FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)
Yes, I ran the flash command twice, same result both times.
I'm downloading that again, but I'm not really sure what to do here. I'm okay at this point with flashing the stock RUU and wiping everything, if it gets me back to hassle-free stock. Should I keep trying to get that working? Or is S-OFF really necessary for that, and I need to get that figured out first? Or maybe I should just throw the phone out a window at this point.

I'm in much the same situation as you, S-ON with H-Boot 1.54, and Rumrunner/Moonshine keep on giving me the same errors you got. The only thing I have to contribute so far is, you cannot flash RUUs until you have S-OFF.
I've been searching for a proper insecure kernel for rumrunner to do it's magic with, but haven't found anything yet.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. Do you (or anyone else) know much about this insecure kernel thing? I assumed that all of the kernels for download here are insecure, but none of them say anything about it.

Thing's I've tried tonight:
* Tried moving from a USB Hub (Multi-TT) to a port on my mobo, No change.
* Flashed Renovate 7.0. Selected the APEX launcher, but when I got in, apex kept on crashing.
* Flashed Renovate 7.0 again, and this time selected GEL (Google Experience Launcher), which worked this time. Proceeded to run rumrunner, got to Pouring (2), but it errored out saying WTF are you doing (system reset itself in the middle of pouring)
* Moved to a new USB port, tried running rumrunner again, SUCCESS!
Resulting rumrunner output from working run:

I finally got S-OFF working with the linked ROM. It was a faster download than the Renovate one, so I thought I'd give it a try, and it's good. Just flashed and wiped data, didn't bother to set anything up or install anything. At least I'm finally making some progress here!
First, I'm going to restore my CWM backup and see if the factory update flashes properly now. If that doesn't work, I'll probably try the RUU. I'll post an update with the result.

I was able to flash the 4.4 RUU without any trouble. My phone now works perfectly, whereas before I would sometimes get app crashes and junk. Now to take a fresh 4.4 backup, and revel in the awesomeness.

Finally done! The update on my backup didn't work, same blue screen. So I just flashed the RUU that I had, let it pull all of the updates, and ran them. And this time, the KitKat update finally worked! So now I have a new, blank phone with KitKat to restore back to how I had everything set up.
I'm planning on leaving all of the system stuff bone stock. No root, recovery, nothing. All because, when the next update drops, I want it to just install without spending the better part of my free time for a week or two hacking around with it.
Incidentally, did you find an actual 4.4 RUU? The one I used was the launch RUU with 4.3, so it needed 2 OTA updates to get to 4.4.

I had downloaded a 4.4 RUU back when it first hit for the HTC One, filename of "RUU-HTC_One_GE-4.4-3.58.1700.5.zip". I'm pretty sure it's the one on this thread, named "RUU Zip M7 Google Edition 4.4 3.58.1700.5 ".
Bit of a post-script, the 4.2.2 OTA update for my phone just dropped yesterday night. I let it install normally, and everything just worked. Now that's what I'm talking about!
ok, so i rooted my htc one to stock, using an ruu that was suggested by a user on here last weekend. it all seemed good, but on sunday, while i was working my phone rebooted itself, for no reason, however i thought it might have been because of a root app i had installed. i had to put it in recovery mode, and wait until i was off work to fix it, by reflashing it(i hadnt had a chance to make a backup in twrp). well i now have a backup of my phone, so yay, but and it hadnt forced a reboot until just now. the thing is it had been good all day today, and i had tried installing the MIUI Rom following a thread on here. the rom worked and all, but it also had issues such as data not wanting to connect, freezing up etc, so i went and returned to my backup i made today(when everything was perfect) and i made a phone call, and after the call the phone rebooted. and its back to its old ways. im restoring again to see if it helps, but does anyone know why it does that?
when my phone did that it was cause I had the unknown baseband issue. Could be worth a try to see if thats your issue.

Link to the MIUI ROM? Only install ROMs that you see in the Sprint HTC One section, not in the International HTC One section. Try flashing the latest radio to fix the phone call problem.
If that root app was SuperSU, then flash this zip.

Flashing radio is your best bet. Verify the md5 before flashing and you'll be fine.

Okay, so this morning I stupidly wiped my OS on accident (4.4.2 KitKat, Virgin Mobile, Rooted, S-ON) and now I need to install a fresh new one. So far nothing has yielded the results I desire, which is to just get my phone back up and running. I've tried flashing new images with fastboot and restoring from pre-made backups made with TWRP. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Any suggestions?

It gets to roughly 100%, and then claims to have failed. This only solved one issue - Instead of getting to the fist HTC boot screen, it loaded the first, then the VM splash, and then the second HTC screen, but only when rebooting from TWRP. I've tried flashing several other ROMs today, and I have no progress so far.
So. I fixed it myself, but only after trying something I didn't think would work, and it's honestly not something most people talk about when they talk about restoring to stock, as I couldn't find this tidbit anywhere. Sooo... I'll give a little list of what I did.
1 - Wiped System Partition to erase other installed ROMs. Apparently, flashing one ROM doesn't replace the first? Whatever, I did this in case I had flashed a broken ROM at some point or flashed a recovery ROM to the system partition.
2 - Wiped Cache Partition for the same reason as above. Since I had the phone sort of working at one point, I assumed that whatever it was doing had at least written something to the cache.
3 - Wiped Dalvik Cache to get rid of fragments of broken ROMs. I read somewhere that Dalvik cache needs to be wiped before installation of new ROMs in order to keep the old and new ROMs from interfering. With that assumption, and the assumption that wiping my system clean couldn't hurt any more than it did, I did that.
4 - RELOCKED THE BOOTLOADER. I have no idea what possessed me to do this. I figured that it was broken too far for me to fix, and that locking the bootloader might remove the *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED* flags from the bootloader. Upon further reading, I know this isn't true.... Anyhow, after using "fastboot oem lock", It locked the bootloader. At least something I did yielded results that time.
Now the one I certainly didn't expect...
5 - Ran the HTC Desire 510 Virgin Mobile RUU. Now, what's weird about this is during the time when my bootloader was unlocked, RUU never detected my phone. After relocking the bootloader, however, RUU detected my phone almost instantly and in ten minutes my OS was back up and running.
The only thing I used TWRP for in this process was wiping my partitions. I didn't have to fastboot flash a ROM or load a recovery. I just think that more people should know that restoring to or installing a factory new OS, with HTC at least, is much easier than most articles or forums make it sound.

Had root, custom ROM, and removed some bloatware. Called VM to activate Wi-Fi hotspot. (Boy was that a mistake!). It didn't activate so CS Rep said to power down, remove battery for 1 min and she is going to go into phone to re-provision and call me back after she was finished. I never got the call back! After several reboots from VM rep, the phone ended up on the white HTC splash screen. I could get into recovery TWRP where I found the OS was missing.
So I started searching xda and found this post.........
Got everything up to step 5... Went to run the VM RUU and got an error message that the battery was below 30% when in fact it was at 100%. Tried NUMEROUS times with the same result...
HELP!! :crying:
EDIT:
Searching around xda, I gained alot of useful knowledge of this phone and found the "fix". Thank you all so much for everything! I used this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/development/virgin-sprint-htc-desire-510-stock-t2961521 to finally fix it. I thought I was going to have to buy a new phone! :victory:
