I am new to rooting and unlocking my new HTC One. I have had great pleasure in doing the same to my galaxy nexus in the past but this one has got me beat.
I have unlocked the bootloader via the HTC site. I have the latest drivers installed and showing OK in the device manager.
I am trying to load a TWRP on my phone without any succes. I can see it listed in the HTC tool kit I have. Its listed as 'SH****** fastboot device. I click install recovery but nothing happens.
I have tried it through the CMD prompt also but get the error 'cannot load'
Can someone please help as I'm desperate to root and install a custom Rom on my phone.
Thanks in advance.

download the correct twrp for your device then put it on your fastboot folder and flash via cmd prompt (fastboot flash recovery [twrp file name].img)

Are you sure you have the right recovery .img file? What's the file size of the recovery? Should be around 8MB.
It should be its 8.43MB in size.
I got it from here.

you're forgetting ".img" in the file name, "DIR" on your computer and then use the full file name of the recovery, that's all
EDIT: I think it's called "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img" (unless you saved it under a different name)
so fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img
EDIT 2: just saw you folder
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.0.img
Thanks for that,I've finally been able to install a recovery and also install my first ROM as well.
Thanks a lot

So basically the only thing working in fastboot
somehow i have managed to wipe everything off of my device so there is no rom installed what so ever...which means i am unable to turn on usb debugging to get adb working. I am also on 1.31 so the RUU method will not work. i am able to flash whatever recovery or Superuser i wish and root/unroot as i please.
the only solution i can think of would be to flash a signed stock zip using "fastboot update signedstock.zip" but the ones i found here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 dont seem to work. i get errors like no "boot.img" or "does not contain android-info.txt"
any suggestions?

just a fyi you can use fastboot to flash a rom if you put it in the same folder as the platform tools folder of your sdk, All roms have a android-info.txt file that's how android knows how to flash what to the particular partition.
you can flash any zip file from fastboot as long as it has the android-info file
fastboot flash zip nameofzip.zip

Hi guys. Was just trying to install a 4.4 custom rom on my HTC One using CWM. I got into rrecovery mode and started trying to install the rom but it came up with an error saying it had aborted. I realised I hadn't made a backup so I thought I best do it in case anything goes wrong. I tried doing that and rebooting the phone. Now the HTC logo flashes on screen before flashing off and then the phone puts me back in recovery. Have I bricked this phone? If anyone can help me I can answer any more necessary questions.

You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and install the ROM again.

Sorry I'm just panicking an awful lot. I'm a bit calmer now though so I'll crack on. I've got TWRP back up and I've tried to install the ROM but it keeps saying failed. Is therre any way to make my phone available to transfer to so I can try a different ROM?
EDIT: It seems I did make a backup with TWRP, I'm assuming that wouldn't show up on CWM? That seems to be working so I'll count myself lucky. I would very much like to get stock android 4.4 though so do you know of any detailed guides for getting that with TWRP on HTC one?
By the way THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. I completely panicked and I would never have figured any of this out without your help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, TWRP and CWM backups aren't interchangeable but you can always flash back the proper recovery for the backup, and restore.

Hey there!
I have a really big problem!
in the beginning, i installed an old version of TWMP recovery, but when i wanted to install a new rom i couldn't and i read that you have to install a new version of the recovery so i did. After that i had two problems, the first one is that i have two recoveries in my device and don't ask me how cuz i don't know! But when i reboot my device it opens the old version of the recovery and when i reboot the recovery it opens the new one!!!
The main problem is that my laptop can't recognized my device any more but in the fastboot mode, so when i want to sideload any rom it says no device found.
I downloaded the last htc driver but nothing changed! HELP ME PLEAS.

First of all, very strange regarding recovery, so download twrp 2.6.3.3 then
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then........
Try updating your adb and fastboot, you can only sideload or push a Rom to your phone using adb commands with the phone in recovery

2.6.3.3 is the most reliable and recommended version, as for the error, check the md5 and file size of the file you downloaded, sounds like a bad or incomplete download to me.

Thank you a lot man for your help! I really appreciate it. But I figure out the problem.
The problem was that I tried to install a new room via an old recovery, so I sideloaded an old version of CM and when it worked I put the new ROM via my computer and flashed the new recovery version "still not found by my pc" but I all ready have the new ROM in the sdcard!
Paying $50 to whoever can help me fix my phone! my dad managed to soft brick his htc one, all i can do it on now is boot to the recover menu. im not very savvy in modding phones so i need someone to guide me step by step in fixing it! we can talk on skype and i can use my webcam to show you exactly what is happening with the phone. will pay $50 via paypal! add me on skype: Metricgear

So I'm guessing your stuck in the bootloader. This should be a fairly easy fix. I'm not available for Skype at the moment but as I say should be an easy fix.So lets get some prerequisite's out of the way first.
Do you have access to a pc with working adb/fastboot?
I see the bootloader is unlocked, is it running a custom recovery and if so which one (name and version please)

Once your up and running if you want to go back to stock you can use this Nandroid Backup http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/stock-backup-3-23-666-1/
Alternatively you could use it instead of the Rom in my other post but the push is a little more complicated. Where as once the device e is booting you can just drop the nandroid in the correct folder using MTP on your pc.
hmmm

Check the Md5 of your download, you can get a checker tool here www.winmd5.com the correct MD5 is MD5sum: 72067aefb69541d40e8420d7aa46408d

Your device has an Internal Sd card. But that stock zip I'd not a Rom, you can't flash it like a Rom. It a Nandroid Backup so it needs to be restored using TWRP.
You need to get TWRP to flash, try updating your your adb/fastboot. You can check your current version by typing
Code:
adb version
In the command window. Latest is 1.0.31 :good:

to flash twrp boot in bootloader/fastboot usb mode and flash trwp recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery and use adb push like the others suggested before:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
and then install the rom, reboot and youre done.
