Well, I guess that explains why I have been running your ROM

Retracted.......:sly:

NICE! I'll get a video of this up soon! Thanks a lot man (and benny3 for linking me to it!
BTW: It looks like I'm the first one to give this thread a well deserved five star rating!
UPDATE: I made a video of how to flash stock! You can view it HERE.

Which download do I pick to make my phone 100% stock so I can return it? Sprint sucks I am going with AT&T, so I need to return the phone to stock. Sprint lied to me about coverage, not trying to troll, just a bit pissed off.

Thanks bro Your awesome!!!

What a G!!! Thank you, sir! :highfive:
This should be stickied!

Right before you posted this, someone from the HTC ONE X forum (older thread) said to try fastboot oem lock then run the setup.exe RUU. It worked! I am all good now, so now I can return to Sprint. Thank you for the help though! I wish I could keep this phone, but again the coverage blows.

can someone make a step by step tutorial on this?
I wanna go back to completely start from scratch!

-boot into bootloader (various ways)
-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader

Please help, possible brick after following guide to flash firmware

I was following Vomer's guide on my One, which has been working great. I had HBOOT 1.54, S-Off, SuperCID, and pushed the firmware twice, got the success message, and waited and when it says finished used adb to tell it to reboot. Now I get the splash, with the lock gone, as expected, and then the screen goes black. If I hold power, or power and down, the hardware keys start blinking and then nothing. A few seconds later I get the splash again, then blank again.
It appears to be communicating briefly over USB because my laptop starts trying to install a HTC MTP device (drive is already on the PC and has been fine) before it looses comms and drops out. I can't seem to get adb device to recognize it....
PLEASE tell me someone can help me recover my phone!!! I will be immensely grateful.

And what the HBOOT version you wanted to downgrade to?

I wasn't trying to downgrade HBOOT, just rather ensure my firmware was up to date. I'd had mine set up as a GPE and was flashing the DE (after supercid).
By way of an update, I've been able to get into bootloader and I'm a bit scared on what to do next so I dont screw this up. I notice that I still have S-OFF, but HBOOT is now showing 1.56 and it says RELOCKED at the top. My plan was to use rumrunner (just because of the HBOOT, but it is erroring anyway) to unlock bootloader, and then to look up the fastboot commands to push a ROM and recovery. Any advice?

Downgrade to 1.44 and change cid according to the Rom you want. Then unlock or set your bootloader to LOCKED
Here is the file for 1.44 http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/95229262/file.html

Can you help me with the adb commands to flash that boot zip? Also, should I run " fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" to unlock my bootloader first?

You can unlock if you want to flash custom recovery.
Place the file i gave you to the fastboot folder. Boot into bootloader and choose FASTBOOT.
Run the following : fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip filename.zip *where filaname the actual filename of the file i gave you
You will get FAILED or sth so do this command again to succesfully flash the firmware.

Awesome. So I've got HBOOT 1.44, S-OFF, bootloader unlocked, supercid, and TWRP 2.6.3.3 flashed again, and I tried sideloading ARHD rom. It all looked good but same thing for the moment, I get the splash and then black......I can't figure out why I can't boot into a rom right now. About to try flashing ROM again.
Okay, so didnt' work. After sideload flashing gets to 100% it just does nothing. Manually rebooting gets me back into the splash then blackness bootloop......

Can you issue fastboot clear cache in bootloader and see the outcome?
Also as you are Soff, you can run dev ruu

The former didn't get me anywhere, but I did follow your thinking and decided to use the RUU and start over. I'm happy to report that got me going, and then I was able to get AR HD on. I probably had to do that all along once I wiped the ROM and recovery, as sideloading clearly wasn't going to work (in retrospect) as it has an AROMA installer.
Thanks so much everyone!!

[SOLVED] [Q] HTC One Doesn't boot, Can't Get Into Bootloader, only Fastboot

Hi guys,
I've searched the entire web (including all the XDA links regarding the HTC One), tried every solution out there and still can't fix my problem. I don't know where else to turn, so I am creating a new thread in XDA Developers.
Originally, I had unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone to use stock android. A couple days ago, I tried to re-lock the bootloader and change back to the original Sense UI; however, when I did this, I got stuck in a boot loop (the phone kept rebooting and didn't boot into the OS).
I then went back into fastboot and restored all the files and settings.
Now, the only things I can actually go into is fastboot and bootloader (cannot boot into OS or even see the boot screen). The only way the phone can connect to my PC is if I'm in fastboot. When I go into bootloader, the phone disconnects from my PC.
My phone is from Telus in Canada and I can find a couple .zip RUU files on the web for Telus, however when I try to flash the phone using the command "fastboot flash zip filename.zip", I get the error "signature verify fail."
When I tried to use the RUU.exe from BrightStar (developer version), the update failed and there was a message saying to download the original firmware.
The last thing I tried was the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" (I did this to change the CID and MID, so I could use the Google Play RUU). When I do this, it goes to a black boot screen that has the HTC logo in grey (this is the boot screen I got from trying to use the BrightStar RUU.exe. It was originally a white screen with the HTC logo in green.). When I'm at this screen, I can communicate with the phone using fastboot commands, however when I try to change the CID, I get the error: "status read failed (too many links)," and when I try to change the MID, I get the error: "Command error !!!"
Just to remind you guys, I can only communicate with the phone using fastboot commands. No adb.
I have officially given up and gone crazy! Please Help!!!
*UPDATE* - Sorry, forgot to mention that I've idiotically re-locked the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader would probably get rid of the "signature verify fail" message. I'm unable to flash the recovery because the bootloader is locked and I can't get into the filesystem because the phone needs to go into the OS for that.
When I try to unlock the bootlader by using "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" it gives me the error: "cannot open 'Unlock_code.bin'."
I need to be able to access and make changes to the file system by using fastboot commands and I have no idea how to do this.
*UPDATE #2* - I've managed to re-unlock the bootlader (I didn't have the Unlock_code.bin file in the same directory as the current directory in my cmd window). I've re-flashed the recovery successfully. Now when I reboot, it goes into recovery mode (still can't boot into the OS). I'm using ClockWorks for the recovery.
Now I'm unable to root the phone. I'm trying to write SuperSU v1.65 to the phone by using the command: "fastboot flash zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zp" and I get the error message: "remote: not allowed."
I can flash the recovery.img and boot.img (can't flash system.img because there's "not enough space"), but I can't flash .zip files
When I try flashing another boot.img, I still get the same thing. The phone goes to the boot screen and can't boot. Then, it reboots and goes automatically into recovery (I can still get into the bootloader and recovery).
Any suggestions to get past these permissions?

I'm sorry, but I'm kind of a noob. How exactly do I re-flash a recovery. do I do this using the command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" or should I try "fastboot flash zip filname.zip" (RUU.zip) again?
*UPDATE* - I've tried erasing the cache and re-flashing the recovery and I still get the error message: "signature verify fail."

I'm still waiting for someone to help me. Is anyone going to help me fix my problem or is my HTC One doomed?

If you are on Telus

Then

I've already tried that. When the bootloader is locked, I get the error: "signature verify fail."

OK.. Unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, adb push this file: http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/guru-reset-3-22-661-1/, and install it from recovery.

adb commands will work if your in twrp recovery
and the reason your ruu.zip failed is because you were not in fastboot oem rebootRUU when you tried them, seems you mixing and matching different forums of flashing .. it don't work like that.

Just to re-iterate..
1. fastboot oem rebootRUU (this will show a gray HTC logo on black screen)
2. fastboot flash zip RUU_ZIP_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_TELUS_WWE_3.22.661.1 _R3_Radio_4A.20.3263.16_10.38k.1157.04_release_336 571_signed_2_decrypted.zip
May have to run #2 again if it shows flush error..

I Installed TWRP and went into the TWRP recovery and noticed the adb commands work.
That file didn't work, however the Guru file you mentioned earlier did (with the "adb push" command)! Thanks so much for your help! Everything is working perfectly again!

here is how you extract rom.zip:
Quote:
the .exe utilities can be finicky,so if you have trouble getting it to run, you can extract "rom.zip" in the following manner:
-start the utility
-check the "i understand" box to move on to the next screen
-hide the utility temporarily out of site
-search your C drive for "rom.zip". you will find it in a temporary location(it will be in a different spot each time you run the utility)
-open the folder location,and transfer rom.zip to a safe location on your PC.
-unhide and cancel the utility,your done with it.
-rom.zip can be flashed using
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (yes do this 2 times)
fastboot reboot
Quote:
here are some directions to flash "rom.zip"
if you're working with a booted,operational phone,you can flash the file in the following manner:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
-place the zip file you want to flash into adb/fastboot directory
-enable usb debug,disable fastboot,plug in phone
-check for connectivity
adb devices (should return serial number)
-boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity again
fastboot devices
-flash the file
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. don't interrupt it while the cmd window shows its writing's,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot
you can use this if you don't have an operational phone as well. you just need to manually put the phone in fastboot(select from hboot menu) then skip the "adb" commands and start with fastboot devices
to answer your other question,yes,you will need to re-unlock and re-install recovery after running the RUU. an ruu is designed as an "unroot" solution, or emergency fix,if other attempts have not made the phone operational.

HTC One Stuck on Bootloader

I've accidentally erased everything on my HTC One, including the ROM I had on there and the ROM install file. I am now stuck in the Bootloader screen and only options I have are to enter TWRP v2.6.3.3. Is there a way that I can flash a ROM via USB in the Bootloader? I've tried resetting my phone and it comes up with the HTC logo on the white screen and won't boot.

Restart from scratch find the ruu.exe for your phone make sure it has the right specs of your phone (android,sense,and service provider) once found follow these instructions
1.) Go to Fastboot
2.) Run the commands
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
3.) Run the RUU
The first command locks your bootloader (allowing RUU), the third command allows the RUU to run on your phone without having to actually boot all the way (normally it just boots into this screen for you).
This will put you back to ur stock Rom when rooting again make sure to make backups of everything or you will have same problem again
Make sure you have all the updated drivers for your computer

adb works in custom recovery, you can push, sideload, or OTG a ROM to your phone,

A RUU.exe file only requires the bootloader locked if S-ON. When the bootloader is locked, the RUU is executed with a double click in Windows. There is no need to do the other steps in 2, they are only needed if the RUU is a zip file. Here are the steps for flashing RUU.zip:
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash it:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes TWICE, the first one will report “failed flush again”, the second one will succeed.
fastboot reboot-bootloader

that is true

That is true method is similar but this is how I got my phone to return to stock be for I could go anywhere else I tryed reflashing a recovery it didn't take I even tryed flashing the ruu.zip through fastboot it always failed on me since I couldn't go any further than that I searched other methods of flashing ruu that's what I came across and it worked for me also if you have s-off this usually turns it back on it did for me on step 2 not all of those steps are needed but the last one is what gets the phone ready to receive the info from the ruu.exe being run on a computer
