Hey Guys, Thanks for anyone that can help.
HTC One M7 T-Mob, S-Off, unlocked, super CID. After switching to the wrong firmware that didn't allow LTE I re-installed and put the stock recovery back on, locked bootloader and re-installed my T-mob RUU.
Now I cannot re-install a recovery to gain root.
Here's where I'm at. S-off, super Cid "111.." unlocked bootloader, stock recovery.
I can see my phone in fastboot devices but not adb devices.
I have tried ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but adb says "cannot load 'recovery.img'
Thinking it may be an adb/pc issues since neither of my PC's can see the device in adb devices only in fastboot devices I tried CW Mod and Goo Manager to flash the images. both failed.
So I'm kinda stuck. Hboot now 1.44 and have ran out of know options in my skill level.
Thanks in advance for any help.
And I know the adb not being able to see the device may be part of the problem, 2-3 different computers, different cords, fastload off, debugging on. It seems to see the device sometimes depending on the firmware that I'm on. And I have re-installed, deleted, updated, installed htc sync, than deleted it after the drivers loaded. I have pretty much tried everything.

Your recovery.img is either called something else or not in the same directory as fastboot.
And running fastboot can't cause adb to give you an error.
Adb doesn't work when the phone is in fastboot mode .

It is defiantly in the right directory, and with the right name as I have flashed it a couple times in the past. What gets me is if I take the PC out of the picture and just try to use CWM or GOO Mngr to flash it they both come up with an error or fail.
Any ideas on how to move forward and what to try next?

Please clarify the first bit I just quoted... it says it can't find the file. The obvious conclusion is that the file is not there under the specified name.
In fact, just run these commands and post the entire output here:
Code:
dir
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I attempted to flash ICS rom for my N1 and I know installation of Blackrose is required.
I attempted to use Blackrose.exe but it doesn't work, then I trun to flash the cutsome hboot by manual in command prompt.
But the problem is I get the signature verfiication failed when I tried to flash any hboot_xxxxx.nb0 files by fastboot.
I have searched some relevant threads but no clear solution was found. (Some threads have posted the similar question but all the replies are problem solved without clear explanation.)
Any anybody can advise me ? How can I pass the signature verification in fastboot ?

Are you using RA recovery? While in recovery, select Flash zip from SD card, then select Toggle signature verification to turn off
You can't just flash "improper" HBOOT from fastboot, even if you have unlocked bootloader. HBOOT is still protected. There's a procedure that's needed to flash it, some script, I don't remember exactly what. Please look it up.
taodan: It is not the problem in the recovery, I can't write on the "hboot" in the bootloader
Jack_R1: Yes, that's I wanted to find out......
Try this if you haven't--of course nandroid first
Download latest Blackrose to PC and extract it
Open it and go to the binary folder
Copy the two files below to you fastboot.exe folder. Mine is in tools of my SDK
Do following
1) Boot into fastboot mode on your device, and plug it in to your computer.
2) Boot the exploit: fastboot boot go2.lol
3) Flash the modified hboot: fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0
You need to reboot your bootloader (fastboot reboot bootlloader) and check that it shows Blackrose installed and s-off
You still need to modify the hboot to ICS partition sizes, I use splhexeditor
---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------
Also, what rom are you coming from. BR won't install over Sense roms
Somewher in thread dev mentions that if you can't install by selecting bootloader unlocked try locked and see if it works. Forget where that was and for what problem it was for.
Thanks a lot ! I can flash ICS rom now !!!

Keep in mind the logo.bin (used if you unlocked your bootloader) has changed between versions, so 4.2.2 uses a different file from 4.4. You need to make sure you're using the right file for the ROM version on your phone.
And if you've seen the threads on using the clogo.bmp, that is for an locked bootloader that has never been unlocked.

dude... your command "mfastboot flash recovery logo_nowarning-4.4.bin" is not correct. that would be trying to flash the logo.bin file over the recovery partition. you want to use "mfastboot flash logo logo_nowarning-4.4.bin" and this assumes the person is on 4.4 or 4.4.2.
---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------
I've posted this elsewhere....
for unlocked bootloader phone, or one that has been unlocked and relocked, it would be...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash logo name.bin
(where name.bin is the name of your new logo file)
and these steps should be performed with phone normally booted, and USB Debugging enabled.
The first command mitigates the need to power off and try and mess with buttons while powering on
On a side note... For those interested in making your own LOGO.BIN...
There is already a thread discussing how to do that -> Moto X Boot Logos which includes a script by carock -> <HERE> to help make it easier. NOTE1: you might want to see THIS POST with tips on formatting the graphics you want to use with the script. NOTE2: The LOGO.BIN format was different between 4.2.2 and 4.4. This script does work with KitKat 4.4. I have not looked to see if the KitKat 4.4.2 logo.bin has changed or not.
For my contribution of sharing...
I took the 24 CLOGO's from -> HERE, converted them to logo.bin's using carock's script. And did one or two others I found that I liked. I put them in -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/X-LogoBins.zip (when you un-zip it, there will be two folders, one containing the original graphics so you can see them and choose without flashing, and one with the logo.bin's. NOTE: the originals can be used by those with locked booloaders looking to flash their clogo.bmp). These flash fine on my Verizon Moto X Developer Edition with unlocked bootloader and KitKat 4.4.

without adb you can't do anything.
please tell us more about what you did? What recovery are you using? What version? What rom version (and link please)? also post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' minus IMEI/SN when in bootloader.
and what operating system are you using on your computer?

your recovery version is pretty out dated.
as i said before, don't use toolkit, you know why now...
download latest twrp recovery here
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name_of_file>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then go back in recovery and flash the rom again and select full wipe.

np, glad it worked
hope you learned this:
don't use toolkit
don't rush
newer roms don't like old recoveries (especially 4.4 roms) So in the future be sure to update your recovery to latest version (or that one specified in the rom thread) before flashing.
hope you'll enjoy your new rom :highfive:

well as your s-on, you can forget about any RUU's at all for now.
I would recommend you flash twrp recovery, use 2.6.3.3 and then erase cache, then reboot bootloader (see commands below).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after that go into twrp recovery and select wipe then format data, this will completely wipe your phone of everything, but as its already messed up then it doesn't really matter, does it.
once that is done, download a sense rom from the development section and try and push it to your internal sdcard, if successful then flash it.

adb push it straight to the sdcard, make sure your phone is plugged into the computer and the rom is in the same folder as adb and fastboot files, then issue this command:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
it will look like its not doing anything but will let you know when its done, then uplug your phone before flashing the rom.
and both TWRP and CWM have their good points, you need CWM to flash AOSP rom's and TWRP to flash sense rom's

Strangely this is exactly the position I'm in today too.
I wanted to revert to stock after trying cyanogen, relocked the bootloaded and tried to run an RUU. However it stopped with an 'unknown error'. So I tried to push a zip file to it but the adb can't connect to the device and the phone isn't showing up in the device manager (because it's in boot mode?).
I then tried your advice about twrp and tried a different RUU but still get an unknown error and still can't push to the device.
Any ideas of what to try next? My OS is now showing as empty, there was something there previously.
I figured it was time to get some help before I broke things any more.

first thing to do is unlock your bootloader again, if you've not already done that, then get TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery on there, that maybe a problem though as your phone isn't showing in device manager.
So put your phone into the bootloader and see what device manager says then, it should say something if its detecting your phone, even if drivers arnt installed.
also, which HBOOT are you on ? and which Windows OS are you using ?

I think I've unlocked the bootloader again, fastboot is available and it's showing 'unlocked' at the top. twrp is on there too and I've done the wipe again. The fastboot commands work but pushing doesn't
error: device not found
HBOOT is 1.55.0000 / win7 64 home
Btw Twrp said it couldn't find cache but the wipe was successful.
Thanks for the help.

ok I see what your saying now, what you need to do is boot into TWRP, main screen only, no sub menu's, at that point is your phone still detected in device manager ?
if so then............
put the rom you want to flash in the same folder as adb and fastboot files on your computer, then type:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
you cant push files to your phone using fastboot or whilst its in the bootloader, that's strictly for flashing simple files like Radio's, HBOOTS, recoveries.

Well at least I've got something in the device manager even if it is a SAMSUNG Android Phone and not my HTC!
The push command hasn't brought up an error, the cursor is just flashing on the next line. It appears to be doing nothing like you said. So I guess I'm playing the waiting game for ten minutes or so. Will there be a notification when it's completed?

ok, unplug your phone, then goto install and select the rom from the list you just pushed, follow the Aroma options and instructions and also id recommend when given the option, to wipe data.

I renamed the zip file because there were spaces in the name causing errors, would that cause a failure when trying to install?
skipping MD5 check: no md5 file found
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/****.zip'
updating partition details
failed
I'm having a really hard time getting this OP3t to do what I want.
Didn't flash su after trying to manually update to 4.0.2
Constantly tried to flash a new rom, would get stuck at patching system
Tried to use unbrick solution, flashed stock recovery
Upon completion of unbrick solution my bootloader is locked and i cannot get into recovery because md5 checksum fail when booting.
I've tried using the unbricking solution probably 10 times with no change.
I have searched among the threads which have not be helpful enough to solve my solution.
right now it says modem, boot and system failed md5 checksum and just constantly reboots.
Also, phone is not being recognized now in fastboot mode
What do I do???
First of all try to open phone in fastboot mode then connect your cable to pc.
1. Download full stock rom of oos try 4.0.1.
2. use command to lock the bootloader
fastboot oem lock;
3. then flash stock recovery of nouguat 7.0 through fastbootmode .
fastboot flash recovery image.filename.
4. then go to stock recovery and flash full rom zip using adb sideload.
All done and best of luck......
If facing any problem then ask

NKT? Not sure what that means.
It is going to fastboot however if i list adb devices nothing shows up.
It does respond with bootloader already locked when i try to send that command
Type command fastboot devices
