Deleted my OS. Bricked. - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I followed the steps from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258809
However, neither work. When I try to push the RUU to my phone, the image signature cannot be verified or something of the sort.
I have no OS on my phone but the bootloader is unlocked with twrp recovery. I need some help bad, finding a way to get anything on my phone so I can at least boot it back up. As of now I am out of ideas, Ive been trying for 5 hours. -_- Please help.
If anyone has a direct solution, they can send it to my email if they think they can communicate faster that way.

[SOLVED!] Bricked Nexus One

Ok so I think I've bricked my Nexus One. Everything was working perfect until I re-rooted it (to have SetCPU to work). I am now stuck at the loading animation screen (Google Nexus One "X"). It just keeps going and going and going. I've even tried loading my Nandroid backup and still does the same and won't work. Also I've wiped to factory default settings and tried to reinstall Modaco's 1.3 rom.
Someone please help me out...
Flash bacon add-on on top
bye!
So reinstall Modaco's 1.3, then install Bacon Add-On, and then reboot?
Yep That's the solution for some users
ok cool I'll give it a shot right now... I really appreciate it
ok at this moment it's still stuck on the animated screen... now I really don't know what to do...
Try flashing the stock rom
if u have the sdk installed, the run ddms. power on the phone usb connected to pc and see the log in ddms, paste-bin here
I have no idea on how to do that... I'm pretty much stuck at this point
try not flashing Modaco's Rom,
just flash CM's bacon
i think there is a confusion because Modaco's rom is in the rooting threat (made me believe you HAVE to use Modaco's superboot and then go to CM's bacon.
reality is you don't need modaco's superboot. after bootloader unlocking and flashing Amon Ra's recovery image you can go straight flashing CM's Makin' Bacon.
It seems people have been successful with CM's
maybe just go straight back to the start, check that bootloader is unlocked, flash amon ra's recovery, then flash Makin' Bacon
good luck

WOW, I really appreciate it and that just worked for me. Thank you to the both of you guys!
if you can get into bootloader mode (this is the lowest level mode you can boot into), you can not brick. Even more so if you can get into recovery (which is usually always possible if you can get to bootloader)
Good you found a way to get out of your situation.
Like i said in Android 101, you CAN NOT brick the phone unless you are updating SPL and Radio. All other stuff is just a minor inconvenience.

haha, i am glad it worked! I don't even have my Nexus One in my hands (my biz trip to the States has been delayed again ), but i spend the waiting time doing my research... it's a bit like the Holiday Season, just that the gift giving day gets pushed out further and further...
glad it worked and it confirmed my research - so i can go at it with ease once i can
This is good news. OP, you should update your thread titled with the prefix [SOLVED].
ahh how'd I miss that 101 sticky... thanks for the heads up again guys.
Edited title =)
Am I bricked?
Ok, my issue is that I cant boot into bootloader or recovery (I tried booting with rollerball pushed in, booting with down volume, abd-mac reboot recovery, abd-mac reboot bootloader) and it just goes right into my OS which is crashing every few minutes, and my radio wont work. Any suggestions? If I am bricked, can I send it to HTC even though its rooted and bootloader is unlocked? I dont care if I have to pay for fixing it.

First of all, if your phone boots at all, it isn't bricked. A brick is a paperweight - it doesn't do anything. Second, this thread of 5 months old. Third, people have talked A TON about sending phones in to HTC with an unlocked bootloader, do a bit of searching.
And finally, it is very peculiar that your phone doesn't boot into bootloader or recovery. Try plugging your phone into your computer, opening your command prompt, navigate to your adb install direction, typing "adb wait-for-device reboot bootloader", and turning on your phone. Best of luck!
People should be banned for bumping 5 month old threads with posts not even related to the OP's post. Ridiculous.
@rcxquake: thanks for your suggestion. That didnt work, it just rebooted the OS. Ill keep searching for my solution and how to send to HTC if I cant find the solution.
@GldRush98: Sorry for ruining your day. I put in a google search for what I was experiencing and this was one of the top result of anyone remotely close to my issue. Yes, this is an old post, but maybe someone had this issue months ago, and had a solution I wasnt aware of.
And like I said, I found this post, although not exactly my same issue, was as related as Ive been able to find. I didn't find it so ridiculous.
If you can find my same issue on another post, then please help by pointing me to it so I can find my solution. I didn't mean to cause any issues.
Thanks
I for one am glad you posted. I don't know whether this is a solution for you or not, but I'm sometimes only able to get to the bootloader after I've had the phone off the charges, with the battery out, for some time. It varies for me between a few minutes and many minutes. It is hard to say because when I try and it doesn't work, I don't know if I've reset the time by having tried.
Anyhow, I found this thread because I'm having trouble with an N1, and one of the earlier posts may help me. Thanks for bumping the thread for my benefit.

Totally Confused/Need help!!

So, i got an HTC ONE in august or so, and then i had it rooted last month or so, but i didnt really do anything. The problems all started going downhill last night. I was looking on how to update it to 4.3 Jellybean, and when i downloaded the ZIP, i went to my recovery(Teamwin or something) and installed it, but after that ,my phone would use like a black screen and not everything would work. So somebody suggested that if that occurs, factory reset your phone, or wipe it. And i did both, and then i ended up here. I have No OS, my screen is stuck on the "HTC-QUIETLY BRILLIANT" Page, and nothing works. The only thing that i can access is my bootloader and my recovery, etc. I am what you guys may call a half-way noob, i know a lot, but this topic is totally confusing the heck out of me. If somebody could help me fix this, i would owe them so much. Please help out a fellow HTC Oner.

Now, it says in the tutorial that you need to enable usb debugging and stuff, but how would i do that? All i need to do is install a stock rom so i can just get 4.3 and move on. I havent used my phone in a lonnng time and i need it very much!

I'm not an expert, but it doesn't seem too bad if you can get into recovery. First thing is to find out if you have a suitable ROM on the phone. If you inadvertently wiped internal data, you will probably need to sideload a ROM. If you do have a ROM on the phone AND you are sure it is one for the M7WLS, you can try flashing it again. If it were me, I'd download a stock rooted ROM and either sideload it or just push it via ADB. Your problems might have been the result of a bad download or installing a ROM for the wrong phone. If you did indeed flash a GSM ROM, the RUU is the way to go, but I've never messed with that process, so hopefully someone else will give you more details on that process.

Here use these for the drivers. Make sure you have no other drivers installed, if you do delete them and install those drivers. There should be a tutorial.

[Q] HTC First doesnt bootup..Urgent help needed !!

Dear experts, I have seen similar threads as with the issue I am facing but I wasnt sure of few parts and if the process as a whole could work for me.
Here's what I know and what the problem is all about, appreciate any help to get back the phone in working condition.
First the basics:
HTC first
GSM unlocked, Bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed
I wanted to delete and format the device as I intended to give this to my friend and I did go to TWRP menu and then clicked on advanced wipe etc and realized I did erase everything the phone needs even to bootup. This I have done without taking backup.
What it looks like now:
When I boot the device out from TWRP, the 'F' logo comes up and stays like that for ever. If I go to TWRP pressing the power and volume down together, it goes to the TWRP menu and thats it..no options seem to help me on this screen to go past the 'F' logo at startup. If I simply power down the device on the 'F' screen it restarts and goes to the same screen making it look like its in a loop. Not sure if this is called soft-brick or hard-brick but it looks like the phone is of no use to me right now.
Can you guys please help me with resolving the problem..any help will be much appreciated

Sideload the stock rom and then flash it I've been in your situation and that's all that was needed to be done.
Be sure to also flash the boot.img if you aren't s-off
More questions
Thanks Abraham for your quick response.
I am starter with Android so, please help me how to sideload and also on where to get stock rom. I will also be lying if I said I understood whats s-off..? Please help further

Well then you'll have to make sure you flash the boot.IMG as well,

2) sideload the ROM
3) flash it
4) flash the boot.IMG inside the rom
5) you're done!

That's correct. Unzip the ROM and it should be there
This is how far I could get
Got all stock ROM and the IMG files, installed android SDK
ADB doesnt recognize the device to copy the file for sideloading
Guess issue is with the fact USB debugging was disabled earlier on my device
Can you please advise further
Is it better to chat on google chat or something so its even faster and I could get this fixed tonight (my time)
Thank you
Finally got it fixed
Thanks for the help..it all worked fine and the device is now working fine..

wait a sec...you dont have a rom or kernel on your device at the moment right?
then there is no way to turn on usb debug on or off cause there is nothing managing the device.
um...use cmd and do adb devices. if its not there then i have no idea but if fast-boot goes into usb mode try flasing it using code
not sure what you would use, but see if "fastboot flash update nameofROM.zip"
but im not sure if that is the right code
stock rom for htc first

[Q] Stuck in 4.3, HBOOT 1.55, S-ON, Relocked

I thought that ditching my who-knows-how-old Evo 4G would've saved me from unlocking/rooting/flashing hell but of course not.
The Phone:
Sprint
HTC One
Android - 4.3
S-ON
HBOOT - 1.55
Radio - 1.00.20.0913 (who cares)
Image - 3.04.651.2
All I Really Need:
I need to flash the phone from Sprint to Page Plus. So I need to get it into Diag mode. For that, I need the MSL/SPC.
The Problems:
Revskills and a few other programs + a handful of apps give me all types of errors. I decided to root and use an app that requires root to get the MSL, figuring it would work better. Unlocked my bootloader through HTCDev and attempted to flash a custom rom.
Tried 5 versions of TWRP and try to load recovery - for 4 of them it says loading recovery and then starts the phone as if recovery doesn't exist. TWRP 2.5.0.0 loads up but the touchscreen won't react (I figure that version is too old for my specs.) Both versions of CWM "work" but don't allow access to wherever I'm saving the SuperSU.zip and gives me a list of errors similar to "E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command"
Where I'm At
Just flashed RUU Stock specific to my image. Figured I'd ask before going through that misery again.
Where do you guys suggest I go from here?
I really just need the MSL but root would be awesome to have.
Any and all help (and moral support) is greatly appreciated!

I had a lovely chat with 4 or 5 of them the other day on chat. Anyway, there was no number on the phone since it was brand new and I'm not activating with Sprint. I got the MSL by doing a ton of hard resets and updating every time the os came back up. So if anyone else has the issue of MSL readers, even MSL Utility, not working, hard reset and keep updating everything your phone lets you update (os, hboot, whatever). Then just run the damn thing again. Thanks for all the help though

HELP!!! Soft bricked???

My son has the Non-HK edition and has somehow erased everything off of his phone. As in, there is no operating system anymore. I've tried everything I can think of to get it back to stock and nothing is working. Maybe someone here can help me out and walk me through how to get it back working? The phone will boot to the screen where you can choose Fastboot, Recovery, HBOOT, and all that stuff. No custom recovery is installed on the phone either. I use to have TWRP on it but like I said, EVERYTHING is gone.
Your best bet is to run the latest non HK RUU found here.
