I ended up going from having a ROM that was missing features and I ended up having nothing but, recovery (ClockWorkMod) and the bootloader.
I would also like to include that my computer doesn't show HTC One or Mass Storage anymore though it shows up under the Device Manager settings when on Fastboot. De-bug is disabled, I don't have a rom to enable it so there goes that.
I do have a TWRP backup but I have no idea how to push it to the phone since debugging isn't enabled, adb cannot find device and fastboot knows that the phone is connected but fails when transfering, mostly when I try to flash a ROM into it.
In summary, HTC One only has access to bootloader, ClockWorkMod, no debug, no rom, clean storage.
I don't care what rom I have to install, if anyone can help as fast as possible I need it for work.
Also when I try adb sideload rom*.zip (error: device not found) shows up.
Thanks in advance.
I'm desperate to the point where all I want is to access whatever ROM is compatible with my HTC One, I'm glad to post any other info.

So what I would like for someone to help me with is to get the system.img for the first somehow on my the computer so i can flash it via ADB-Fastboot and get my phone to at least power up to the homescreen; this is because just a few days ago i was testing out some 'things' though they didn't work and decided to wipe the phone. The problem is that I erased EVERYTHING on the phone including system, etc. So now because the first doesn't have an sd card slot I cannot get a way to mount a rom and flash a new system.
All i ask for is a system.img or any tutorial that would work, (I've literally spent 2 nights looking for something but they aren't compatible with the first) using the RUU is out of the question because it's apparently encrypted and won't detect my phone since it just hangs on the facebook logo, also the system dumps on the forum that I've seen don't contain the system.img file. Thank you in advance for your help and troubles!
(note that I do not have a way to access ubuntu or any linux computer right now because of various reasons, what i do have is a spare first!)
What's stopping you from flashing a ROM from recovery? ADB push the ROM file into /sdcard from recovery.
The most common fix to get RUU working is to relock your bootloader. You can run RUU from fastboot.

Well recovery works perfectly but there is no rom or file in the sd card at all because of the total system wipe, and ADB doesn't seem to detect my phone since it requires USB debbuging (or am i wrong?) and usb debugging isn't accessible since it hangs on the facebook logo. Only when it's in fastboot does it get recognized; but im not aware of a way to push the rom files through fastboot? I would very appreciate a tutorial if there is! that's why im looking for a system.img that i can flash using fastboot.
And as for the RUU I can't get to the Fastboot screen on the program because it first needs to confirm my phone model and system which it can't because it requires USB Debugging to be turned on on the phone. Also would relocking the bootloader still be necessary even though I have S-off?
About doing the ADB push through recovery to sd card, I don't see any option like that on the menu. I have CWM would I need TWRP for that?
USB debugging is only needed in the OS. In recovery you can do a lot of things even without root. ADB just has trouble detecting a device that's gone through a firmware change, just type "adb kill-server" and try again. You don't need to mount anything to push to /sdcard.
Do RUU as a last resort, since getting S-off again after relocking the bootloader is an elaborate process. But don't worry about the warnings. RUU will work when your phone is in fastboot, the first thing it does is reboot your phone anyway.
Does this help?
Okay, so this is the status quo of my friends phone: HTC One M7 UL, S-On, HBOOT-1.55, TAMPERED, UNLOCKED
There is no OS instelled, I can only boot into recovery (while booting from the bootloader it starts Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.0.1, when I boot from the phone being off it opens ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.6) or bootloader. The internal storage is wiped. My PC is not able to install the device driver software, so I cannot put any files on the phone via USB cable. Also it appears to not be rooted, as the recoveries ask me if I want to install SuperSU. But if I accept this, nothing changes and the next time I get the same question.
All in all almost erverything on this phone is deleted and I have no idea how to put a ROM back on it to flash. Can anyone help me fix this?
Update: Trying out the USB-OTG-cable I get the error "E: Can't mount /storage/usbdisk"

What errors do you have when installing drivers (adb) on your PC?

oh i ment just the ordinary windows "error"
trying adb out right now, never heard of it before
Update: I don't get how to use adb. Could you maybe tell me what to do? I get the respose "List of attached devices" and thats it, doesn't find any.
So, I inherited this seemingly bricked HTC One M7. I wanted to fix the phone and possibly flip it for a profit (since it was free and all), but I haven't been able to find a proper solution to the problem of this phone. Here's the skinny:
I'm using Windows 8.1 and think that most of my problem is stemming from the recognition of the device. I can see the device listed as "One" under other in Device Mgr, but when I downloaded the Win 7 drivers (per a guide I can't seem to find right now), Windows did not recognize what I was pointing it to when attempting to update the drivers, so the device remains unrecognized by Windows.
Fastboot commands work, but ADB commands will not work as the device is unrecognized?
The phone has no ROM. Factory reset from bootloader simply returns the bootloader screen and accomplishes nothing.
The phone currently has CWM recovery, but both CWM and TWRP are unable to mount /system /cache or USB. I was also unable to find any install .zips or backups in the recovery module.
The phone has the *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED* flags above the versioning in the bootloader and lists S-ON.
I've tried several approaches to fixing this phone, but each method seems to rely on some other step I can't complete. I've reached a stalemate (checkmate?). I'm not sure whether to be hopeful with this phone or not, but I'm going to be anyway. If anyone can offer me some help with fixing this thing, I'd greatly appreciate your time. Thanks!
Hey all! I'm having some big problems getting my phone working. I was running Venom One rom for a while but then decided to try out something else and installed the CM 11S. Again phone worked perfectly but I got used to using Venom so I wanted to go back to it. And that's where I fu**ed it I think... I've installed the rom (I'm using T.W.R.P 2.7.1.1, standard cache and data format) like previously and again everything went smoothly with no errors. However, when I restarted the phone it got stuck on HTC logo. But it wasn't stuck like you couldn't do anything, I could lock the screen and when I unlocked it it would present me with the usual lock screen, time, taskbar etc. but when you unlocked it it went back to the HTC logo after a while an error popped up saying that the htc dialler was not responding. I haven't came across something like that ever before... So I went back to recovery and flashed the system again and again I had the exact same issue. So then I went and formatted everything including my internal storage, and that's where I made the biggest mistake. I forgot that I had the rom zip on internal storage and I'd lose it if I format the partition. No problem you'd say BUT I can't copy anything onto the phone.
When I connect the phone to my PC in recovery mode it just refuses to mount!! No matter which partition I want to mount, nothing comes up in my computer. I went on to the device manager and surely enough the HTC One is an unknown device... I tried side-loading the rom but the adb can't connect to the phone. I tried re-installing the HTC sync just to make sure I definitely have the usb drivers but still no luck. ADB devices command shows no devices connected. I've run out of ideas and I'm regretting my decision to try different roms...
I really don't want to buy a new phone so if anyone has ANY ideas please right it down. Thanks in advance!

don't worry, you'll not have to buy another phone. Your issue is one of the most common issue we see here. First I will recommend you to use twrp 2.7.1.1 only to flash CM11 based roms and use twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for any Sense based roms.
You will first need to fix your drivers issue so you can adb push or adb sideload the rom to your phone again. there is a guide linked in my signature (nkk71's guide). In this thread, there is instruction (in the FAQ #2) about how to solve drivers issues.
When your drivers issue are solved, flash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in twrp 2.6.3.3 and adb push or sideload venom and hopefully it will be able to boot and it will be stable.

The only weird thing is, I used the 2.7.1.1 to flash the sense rom in first place and everything worked fine :/ . Anyway, thanks for the shout! :good: I'll give it a try right now and see how it goes.
Right, I'm having problems installing the drivers for some reason. The ones downloaded from this thread don't seem to be doing anything at all. When click on them they show up for a split second in task manager and then they disappear. No install wizard no nothing. So i downloaded the ones for Windows 7 from here but this just gives me a message that "Windows could not find driver software for your device." . I mean, what the hell?
Edit: Right, after a lot of struggle I've managed to successfully bring my phone back to life! I have no idea what caused the issues with installing the drivers. I've spent ages deleting every trace of HTC drivers, then installed Windows 7 ones and somehow it worked. Then flashed t.w.r.p 2.6.3.3 and venom and it seems to be working smoothly! Hopefully no more problems . Thanks a lot for helping out man!
Hello,
I have a 626s that is recognized in its normal boot state, but not in Download Mode. Fastboot gives "Waiting for Device"; ADB gives "Device Not Found"; and HTC Sync gives "No device connected."
The phone does have an unlocked bootloader and USB debugging is turned on.
The phone's history:
Bootloader unlocked, TWRP flashed, SuperSU installed.
Root uninstalled by SuperSU app. (It asks if I want the original bootloader [?] flashed. Clicked "No". This is where problems started.)
Made a backup of my phone through TWRP, in which it refuses to backup the System partition in any way.
Decided to revert phone to stock through RUU.
Need to replace misc.img to do so.
ADB cannot find the device.
And this is where I'm stuck. I don't know if any of what I just listed is what is causing the main problem, but it could help. If anyone knows of a way I could revert the phone to the stock ROM any easier, it would be appreciated. I don't care about loss of any data.
Thanks.
Eh, I explained this to another guy earlier so I'll just dumb it down a bit.
Download the RUU for you specific carrier and such from the HTC site.
Go through the .exe until it prompts the install to the phone, but don't start it.
Go to %temp% in Windows Explorer and find rom.zip
Rename the .zip to "0PM9IMG.zip" and place it in the root of your external sd.
From here you can do as you please with it. I used the bootloader to install it. :laugh:
