You may install the HTC Drivers... and ADB works only on system or recovery... otherwise you have to use fastboot commands. So I'd recommand flashing a Stock ROM from TWRP, you can get a stock rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752 (thanks Mike1986 for providing such awesome ROMs)... then you should have a working phone again. At least: If you can enter the bootloader EVERYTHING is fine and you didn't f*** up your HTC One.
Hit the Thanksbutton if it helped or ask me for further clarification

Okay, first here you have the correct adb and fastboot files, I uploaded them quickliy for you, I think this way they should work properly:
http://uploaded.net/file/ykwya517
Next thing are these HTC Drivers, in this post are a few of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089508 and on my computer there are the 4.3.0.001 drivers, so I'd recommand downloading those(Credits go to @mdmower):
http://www.mediafire.com/download/n5y93fdgkvexpwc/HTC+Driver+4.3.0.001.exe
Now shut down your phone and boot in into the bootloader with pressing the power button and the volume down button. Then select fastboot and enter this menu. Now if the drivers are installed correctly there should be written FASTBOOT USB. I think you said you are unlocked... so the following command should run just fine. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where adb and fastboot are placed. In this folder you copy your custom recovery(TWRP) and you flash it with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [recoveryname].img
And DON'T worry about adb in the bootloader! ADB doesn't work with the bootloader. Now you boot into your recovery by chosing Recovery somewhere in your bootloader. If you are in the bootloader you somehow need to push the ROM to your HTC One... This should work with this command...
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored\rom.zip" "/data/media/0/rom.zip"
And if this doesn't copy it correctly simply place your zip on your computer to a folder that is empty and push this folder to your HTC One with:
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored" "/data/media/0"
Now you are good to go, simply flash the zip form TWRP. I think you know how this works Simply go to install and then chose the zip and flash it.
If you now want to s off... then ask me again. I'll give you an advice

Good to know that it worked As some kind of a hint I'd recommand not to proceed s off at the moment because with this security system disabled, you are able to destroy many more partitions such as the bootloader and this would result with irreparable damage to your device and it would be hardbricked. So my advice is: Keep your hands away from S OFF for a few weeks and use rumrunner s off if you are sure that you can understand adb/fastboot basics. I really don't want to say that you are stupid or a noob, this is truly NOT the case! Everyone needs experience and the only way to get experience is to read through forums, to read statements from people that hardbricked their device and many more thing But you have a working phone right now, that is important :highfive:

What are you seeing when attempting to flash recovery?
So when you reboot your phone you see an unlocked lock under the colourful "X"? If you do, you have indeed unlocked your bootloader and have a proper fastboot setup.
Now you need to boot back into the bootloader [Trackball + Power]. Place the AmonRa recovery image into the "tools" folder of your sdk and rename it simply to "recovery.img". Then run the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On the top right of your phone screen you will see a progress bar. Once it is complete, boot into the new recovery by fully powering down, thenholding [Volume Down + Power ], selecting "Recovery" from the list and tapping the power button to confirm selection.
Double post.
We are all jumping to conclusions here...let's start from the beginning.
OP - have you turned your phone on?
(I crack myself up)
Hahaha what the hell?
ok so i renamed the AmonRa recovery image to recovery.img and put it in the tools folder on my desktop and booted the phone in bootloader then tryed to run the command on the computer and I cant get it to work what am i suppost to type
I would try putting the recovery.img SDK\ dir, then using fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
easiest way

The tools folder is where fastboot lives so unless he puts the sdk\tools path in his global path, he will have to type tools\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
OP - if you type fastboot devices, do you get an item list that displays your device?

go back to recovery, wipe everything (except your sd card). Flash your rom and if needed, the g-apps package (cyanogen rom additional step). Tell it to reboot and wait for it to boot up.
Sounds like you didn't wipe and got it stuck in a bootloop.
All is well thanks a lot guys
It's not hard to root the Nexus at all. I had adb and fastboot all set up for my Dream. It only took me maybe 2 minutes from when I unboxed my Nexus to having unlocked the bootloader. But he got it working now so it's good.
Hello all! Yesterday I tried to get new rom on my HTC Incredible S. So I unlocked it on the htcdev.com and get a recovery... all works fine since I get new rom, when I installed it and reboot phone it stucks on HTC logo and nothing happens.

dude you have to flash the roms boot.img seperatly. because you unlocked htc dev id assume you have adb drivers setup with fastboot.exe and all them files in a folder. for this im gunna pretend your files are in the c drive in a folder called android. before you start make sure you extract the boot.img from the roms zip file and put it in this android folder. open up command prompt and type the following.
cd c:\Android (Hit enter)
fastboot flash boot boot.img (hit enter)
wait for it to finish then reboot phone. rom should boot up fine
you must do this for every new rom until you s off

I'm no expert so can't help you much, but the first thing I would ask is, 'did you flash the boot.img from within the ROM .zip after you installed the ROM'?
I'm HTCDev Unlocked, with S-ON still, and two ROMs I've used recently are ARHD 3.0.0/3.0.1 & Project X. I don't know which ROMs you are trying...
Not all will be compatible, I tried THIS ROM first but it didn't work (and I got what you are describing). See the help I received down this page HERE and on the previous page of that thread, but it proved to be a no-go.
EDIT: Said the same thing as above, got beaten to it while editing my post!
same problem was there for me

u can see a file named boot.img inside the rom zip u downloaded.
open command prompt & navigate into the folder u saved fastboot files & type " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
then reboot phone custom rom will load.
I tried to do what you say, but it don`t works... I plug the phone in normal recovery and tried to use the : fastboot flash boot.img. When I hit enter i see message in cmd: unkown partition 'boot.img' error: cannot determine image filename for boot.img... what now?

You do not do this command from Recovery mode. You need to put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode. So when you get to the HBOOT menu, choose FASTBOOT from the menu instead of RECOVERY. Then connect the phone to the USB port and type the following command:
fastboot devices
and your phone should respond with the device serial number. If it does, then you are good to go.
YEAH I DID IT!!! Sorry for it... Thanks for help and sorry for problems
Hello today I attempted something that I thought was going to be a quick video tutorial fix. I tried Rooting my HTC one. I followed several guides and read many posts I easily managed to unlock my phone. The problem started when trying to flash the recovery onto my phone, first I tried through commands: fastboot flash recovery and I received the error (FAILED data transfer failure unknown error) I've searched for 7 hours looking for a fix. Since I cant root reverting back to a fresh install is impossible, I cant find a RUU for telus, (I live in canada). I just don't know what to do, when I try to flash anything my bootloader freeze, drivers are up to date, tried restarting computer. Used One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0 doesn't work. This is a nightmare come save me before I jump off a cliff.
EDIT: What I did from beginning was followed this video "How to Root the HTC One-FlamingArio"to the point where you try and flash the recovery fastboot. That didnt work so after trying to fix that I tried How To Root HTC One & Unlock Bootloader - Easiest & User Friendly- The smoking Android ( super boot a 1 click install) that made my bootloader screen turn to tampered. after that I tried One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.
Note in all in one kit I did erase cache and standard recovery works fine, I've re-installed it may times.
Cant post links yet but I gave video names.
EDIT: when I do the cmd fastboot devices my device shows up when I do adb devices nothing shows up could this be part of the problem?
Thank you all for your help, I re-installed all the programs on my laptop and redid all the steps and it worked. Bye!
Try this in ABD fastboot erase cache then flash the recovery again i hope this helps:fingers-crossed:
What did you do from the beginning? Could you post a step by step traceback of what got you to this point? Let's see if you missed any steps

Keep an eye on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302870
Many people are looking for the Telus RUU.
Can you still access standard recovery? If so try reverting to factory settings (all data will be lost) and try to boot.
If you can get it to boot you should have more luck in trying to root your device.
I know that I had some issue's trying to get root on my device. But once I got S-off with revone, I was able to install root no problem.

Nice to see you sorted it
Assuming you have actually flashed a recovery image to your device, you will then need to push a ROM to your sd card so that you can flash it in recovery.
Just do the following:
1. I am guessing you have the HTC drivers installed on your PC.
2. Download the attached adb.zip and unzip it to a folder on your C drive and call the folder whatever you like.
3. Boot your device into recovery and plug it in to a powered USB port on your PC.
4. Navigate to the folder that you just created on your PC and copy your ROM zip into it. rename the ROM zip to 'rom.zip' to make life easy.
5. Inside the folder, press and hold the shift key and right click in a blank part of the window and select 'Open command window here' (screenshot attached).
6. Type 'adb push rom.zip /sdcard' (don't use the quote marks)
7. Press 'enter'
8. Once the zip has finished being pushed to your sdcard, you can reboot into recovery and then flash it as normal.
EDIT: That will teach me not to read to the very end of a post. I'll leave this here for someone else.
Hello. I have the following problem. I friend of mine that I've sold him my old rooted Htc One tried to make 4.4. kitkat
He tried to install
Android_Revolution_HD-One-53.0zip
BUT I don't know how he managed to stuck his phone.The problem is when I am power on the phone it shows the white HTC screen with the red letters "this build is for development purpose only..." after a while reboots in TWRP v2.5.0.0
And that's it , I cannot do anything because my PC won't recognize it via USB cable.
Any suggestions?
(excuse me for my English, with love from Greece )
As long as it boots into Recovery its not bricked. Do you have the HTC Driver installed on your computer?
Android Revolution HD 53 requires min. TWRP 2.6.3.3. Your version is too old.

From recovery go to fastboot connect phone to pc.
It must be recognized.
Then flash boot.img which is in the Revolution.zip.
Then install the rom via recovery.
Remember for unlock and not s-off users the boot.img must be flashed befor flashing a rom.zip.

SAME problem (or pretty similar) here, trying to instal ARHD61.1... I don't know how did I screw up this so much...
My bootloader is TAMPERED, UNLOCKED, S-On. Recovery TRWP (2.7) launches but... many things don't work.
First thing I have to mention is that I didn't forget to enable debugging before all this started (and now I can't launch android to do it).
My HTC drivers should be up-to-date, as I installed yesterday HTC sync 3.00.52...
In bootloader, if I type "fastboot devices" I get "FA34HW903605 fastboot", and "fastboot reboot.bootloader" does what it is expected to do...
In recovery, "adb push" tells me "error: device not found".
Can someone help me? If you need more details, just ask. Thanks

Let me try and I'll tell you later. I also think it's a matter of drivers, so I was downloading and re-installing it... Thank you for your help
-------------------------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I followed your steps (LET ME THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT GUIDE) and now the device is "My HTC" as you show.
Something has changed:
If I type "adb devices" (in PC) when phone is in fastboot, the listing is void (before I got "FA34HW903605 fastboot"), and if I do the same while phone is in recovery, I get the mentioned "FA34HW903605 recovery".
In Windows7 I don't see "My HTC" as a conventional USB storage or Memory of a Camera (should it be?)
I've managed to ADB PUSH a ROM (ARHD) in recovery, but now I get an error message: "Unable to mount '/data' " and "Unable to mount internal storage " then FAILED. Now I'll try flashing a new recovery...
WOW WOW WOW!! It was enough for me, sir
1st) Solve comunnication issues as shown in FAQ #2 here
2nd) Solve TWRP recovery mount issues by:
2.a) Installing any other (clockwork) in fastboot using One All In One Kit (eaaaasy)
2.b) Formatting cache, system, data partitions
2.c) Installing TWRP again using One All In One Kit (Android Revolution REQUIRES this recovery)
2.d) Sending the ROM ('adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard/wherever_you_want_it')
2.e) Installing it from TWRP recovery.
An that was all. THANKS A LOT nkk71; without your help I still would be here trying to figure out what's broken... Thanks.

no problem, glad to be of help
remember for most 4.4 ROMs, (for m7_u/ul) TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or higher) is recommended at the moment.
though you should be good by downloading it, then checking MD5 to make sure the download isnt corrupt (that site doesnt work with download managers), then:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery and push the rom

It wont be so easy, I'm afraid. Even if comunication issues are solved, you won't be able to copy your ROM using windows file manager, opening the phone like a conventional drive...
You have to install "ADB" in your PC (search in HTC ONE subforums, there's a lot of info about ADB pusing (=copying) ROMS) and use it to copy your ROM. One advice: while "pushing" the ROM, be patient: it takes a long time. When your ROM is "pushed", just install it in recovery and... that's it!!
I think here you have a good starting point.

Hey, congratulations!! :good::good::good:
Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.
Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

yes window 8 will be a problem till you get another hboot above 1.44/1.54
hboot 1.55 has no problem on windows 8 ( I use windows 8.1)

Downloaded fastboot, unzipped in c:
Drivers from that link are classed as malware. Trying to find earlier drivers/other mirror.
Find attachment.
Still looking for drivers. Apparently "every" browser blocks exe-files from being downloaded. Changed settings, managed to download it, run as admin. No response.

My bad. Managed to run it, but then it crashes straight away. Can that have anything to do with the driver not installed?

great your about done ...your phone will be android 4.3 when it finishes
don't take any updates to the OS
cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!
Really, thanks so much clsA! You made me a very happy person! :victory:
