I have access to custom recovery
fastboot seems to be working

Just do a dirty flash (ie flash without wipe) of the ROM.zip in recovery
Thank for your reply.
I didn't mention it in the first message but I am a complete idiot... here's why :
No zip in phone :/
édit : and obviously as I am a COMPELETE idiot I erased everything from the recovery menu "wipe"
Use Odin to flash the file

Do you have an OTG cable? you could use that.
If not connect your phone (while in recovery) to the PC, and
"adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/" (this will take 5 to 15 minutes)
that will put the rom on you phone

That's on OTA upgrade file, won't help you. You need to flash a ROM on your phone. To get the ROM to your phone, one of three methods:
1- OTG cable
2- adb push
3- adb sideload

check the development thread for a rom that suits you, download the FULL file (not an OTA), then use adb push to get it to your phone, finally flash it in recovery.

you dont need the RUU, just download the odexed or deodexed ROM from the thread you posted.
adb push to your phone
and "install zip" in recovery
Saw your message too late so I am downloading the deodexed.
BUT
I tried the RUU => FAILED TO FLASH -_-
I am a bit concerned... Will it work with the other one ?

"Root" can't really be lost like you hear people talk about in the forums, it just means that the bootloader is unlocked and you've got recovery and a rom that has superuser, recovery and an unlocked hboot means you're free so to speak, from there you can rock on and simply flash a rom and kernel with root access and you're good to go, so don't sweat that message. Once you're back on your real setup you'll be good to go.
tl;dr version, don't panic about not having root you're way past the panic stage (like having a phone that can't be unlocked thats when to panic lol)

You can't downgrade firmware without s-off.
You can unlock bootloader via htcdev.com, flash custom recovery for Sprint (TWRP or CWM), download and flash stock ROM for Sprint via recovery (using command line from comp: adb sideload <firmware_name>.zip and sideload from recovery).

It does actually work, just seems very sensitive to OS, USB ports, drivers, (possibly even locale), etc.
Recommend you use a plain vanilla Win7 PC with USB2 port.

I had this exact problem trying to go back from 5.11.401.10. When i extracted the rom.zip, fastboot came back with remote: 02 data length is too large.
I had already unlocked with HTCDev, flashed TWRP and s-off. i just wanted a stock ruu to go back to sense 5.5. In the end, i found TeHashX has created a twrp flash here: Link I flashed that without root, with radio and recovery and I'm back to stock. You'll probably need to be s-off for this but I'm not sure. I kept s-off and the unlocked bootloader.
Ps. You can remove the tampered with a rooted rom in the process.

I have also been unable to use any of the 4.xx RUU... They worked once but none of them work now. Anyway I just wanted to say I also created a Guru Reset for the 5.21.502.2 (AT&T) here >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358545274 to go along with the files posted by @TeHashX
The only thing i can think of was the hboot prevents it now but i wasnt going to play with that. I personally went to 4.xx to get away from sense 6
Is there any other maybe older stock ROM i can try ?
I tried 1.29.401.x and that failed too. There was a note with the download saying you need to flash hboot 1.44 which i didn't bother with.

Unless you already wiped the ROM, there's no need to reinstall it. Just install the SuperSU zip in recovery. That's it.

How come Android Revolution ROMs keep putting my phone into a bootloop? It makes my phone boot into TWRP Recovery. I have tried both Android Revolution HD 90.1 ( (Android 5.0.2 Lollipop + HTC Sense 6.0) and the stock HTC system dump (Android 5.0.2 + HTC Sense 6.0 | Latest: 7.15.401.1) without success. I just want to know why!
If you flash in twrp you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot in order to boot because your s-on. And also what you are running I believe are gsm based roms. In which case they will never boot.

ARHD is not compatible with Sprint.
By flashing it your partitions are messed up now.
You will need to RUU to fix and stay in the Sprint section when choosing a rom.

Yep says it several times in the OP.
I can't seem to get any other ROM to boot except CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth. CM is completely stable while the latest version of LS is a bit buggy. They both absolutely refuse to acceept any APN settings. I am using Ting's service right now and I can't use it on these ROMs.... I tried flashing several stock Sprint ROMs for the HTC Onr M7 and none of them will boot. They'll boot if I flash the boot.img like someone here suggested but it doesn't help. It will go to the desktop, however, the screen is completely black. Is there anyway to flash a stock ROM properly? RUU's don't work either.

My HTC One is CDMA (Sprint).
First try updating by going to Settings ---> About ---> Software Updates. If that doesn't work try the following:
This Lollipop update process is ONLY for the Sprint HTC One M7.
First flash the firmware via Fastboot: 6.16.651.2_firmware.zip >>> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934523626
And then install the RUU for 6.16.651.2 via Bootloader RUU Menu:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_414036_signed_2.exe
If you don't know how to do these things, then you shouldn't attempt to. You could end up hard-bricking your phone.

I have some experience using fastboot. The thing is that my HTC M7 originally was Sprint CDMA but the person I bought it from he assured me that he unlocked the GSM.

Thanks a lot.
Your phone is for sprint as it says m7wls you can use gsm service perhaps since you say its unlocked meaning Sim unlock always look for Roms that are m7spr or M7wls based I also suggest s-off so you don't have any complications with flashing

It has been a little bit difficult to S-off my HTC, since it has Hboot 1.57. So far I've tried Revone and Rum Runner without success.
Firewater seems to be down and I'm tempted to pay for SunShine, but I'm not really sure about paying for an application that might not work.
My HTC originally came with Android 4.4.2 and I got a notification to upgrade to lollipop via OTA, but I was suggested to make a backup just in case. So I had to root my phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP in order to get my system backup, but due to the previous procedures I can no longer upgrade to lollipop.
Right now all I want is to follow my original plan by installing a stock rom and try to update to lollipop via OTA.
You kindly suggested me to s-off my cellphone, but I've seen some videos on youtube in which they install stock roms with s-on:

Never mind guys
Finally I upgraded my HTC to Lollipop.
I freaked out because it didn't boot up after flashing RUU.zip
I decided to go out for dinner and come back and try as many times as needed. Fortunately I realized that I misspelled the command fastboot reboot-bootloader I had forgotten to type the hyphen. Then I reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my pc, tried another usb port and used the RUU.exe. Now my HTC M7 seems to be working perfectly
Thank you very much guys.
Hey guys. So I flashed Android 4.4.3 (KitKat) - latest official HTC One 6.09.401.12 (WWE) firmware (84.x series) to my Att HTC M7. I unlocked bootloader and rooted prior to that. Installed TWRP recovery. I didn't back up my original OS nor do a nandroid back up.
When I first flash it was 1/2 ok. I was able to get to the setup wizard on the rom. Then it reboot to recovery. All I can get is bootloader and recovery.
in order for adb sideload or just adb to work the steps I have to take are peculiar. I stumbled on this today. I have to connect my usb cable when the M7 is off. I boot into the bootloader via *power button and *volume down. Then I select fastboot, then I go back and select recovery. When it boots to recovery then I touch advanced and my device shows up. Also my OTG connection works fine.
So I downloaded the stock version odexed. I get errors on install. Actually I get errors trying to install any rom now. I've tried to unzip and rezip using winrar. Any clues as what I should try now? I wanted to post a pic of my bootloder info and the error message but alas I dont have 10 post.

Hey guys. So I flashed Android 4.4.3 (KitKat) - latest official HTC One 6.09.401.12 (WWE) firmware (84.x series) to my Att HTC M7. I unlocked bootloader and rooted prior to that. Installed TWRP recovery. I didn't back up my original OS nor do a nandroid back up.
When I first flash it was 1/2 ok. I was able to get to the setup wizard on the rom. Then it reboot to recovery. All I can get is bootloader and recovery.
in order for adb sideload or just adb to work the steps I have to take are peculiar. I stumbled on this today. I have to connect my usb cable when the M7 is off. I boot into the bootloader via *power button and *volume down. Then I select fastboot, then I go back and select recovery. When it boots to recovery then I touch advanced and my device shows up. Also my OTG connection works fine.
So I downloaded the stock version odexed. I get errors on install. Actually I get errors trying to install any rom now. I've tried to unzip and rezip using winrar. Any clues as what I should try now? I wanted to post a pic of my bootloder info and the error message but alas I dont have 10 post.

You won't receive ota update on an at&t phone if you are not on the at&t network.
What is your custom recovery version?
I would achieve s-off using Sunshine so you can fully convert your phone to another version which doesn't require a specific carrier to receive update like the WWE version (x.xx.401.x) or the Developer version (x.xx.1540.x)

So I achieved s off using Sunshine. Changed cid and mid to corresponding t-mobile spec. Flashed the RUU for t-mobile from the HTC website download. Now when I flash the RUU I suppose it takes out my recovery and flashed a stock recovery?
I had TWRP but now I have some weird recovery. Last time I went into it and I rebooted out it factory reset my HTC. Pain in the ass more than anything.
I was thinking I could flash a ROM and see if it performs as or better than the RUU. The only benefit of using the stock tmobile is OTA updates right?
Oh and since I don’t have twrp anymore should can I reflash that? I would like to make a backup of my OS before I start screwing around.

Yes, a ruu will re-write all stock software and firmware to the phone (system, recovery, kernel, radio, bootloader, drivers, and so on)

You can't do much using stock recovery except a factory reset. Stock recovery is needed for ota updates but if you are already on last version you don't reallt need it anymore and you can reflash twrp over it.

If you already flashed the latest t-mobile ruu (lollipop), you will not receive any more ota updates. Lollipop 5.0.2 Sense 6 should be the last version for the M7. At least flashing the ruu was not a waste of time since it upgraded your firmware; newer custom roms requires the latest firmware to work properly.

Yep I would relfash twrp and make a backup before trying other toms. You can always revert back to stock using the same ruu if you don't have a backup.
