Need help please: windows won't recognize 1.54 bootloader - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After a lot of reading and some trial and error I was finally able to get S-OFF on my Bell (Canada) unlocked HTC One using the universal 0.45 rumrunner. I wanted to change my phone into the Google Edition so I followed the guide and everything went well but I missed the part about flashing the RUU twice and once I got that failed error I assumed it hadn't worked and I manually rebooted the phone. When I booted back into bootloader my phone was on 1.54.0000 instead of 1.55.0000 which it had been on before. The problem is that my computer won't recognize the phone in 1.54 bootloader so i can run my adb commands. I know the drivers are installed properly because it recognizes it when the phone is booted up normally and my adb commands work and I can reboot the bootloader from there but once it goes into the bootloader I can't get it to recognize the device. For reference this is on a windows 8.1 laptop, I also tried on a windows 7 desktop and an older windows 7 laptop with the same results. Is the issue with the HTC drivers not compatible with newer versions of windows? Or do I need to try to find an older version of the drivers that are compatible with the 1.54 bootloader? Or is it something else? Any help to steer me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Once I can get the bootloader recognized I can flash the RUU again and everything should be good to go.

Blue Screen Bricked HTC One - HELP! :(

I tried to update to 4.4, but it gave me a blue screen. I can get into TWRP and Fastboot works.
However, it won't read it as USB on my Windows 8.1, but it sees it on my Windows 7 and OSX. I'm trying everything to get some from of OS running on my HTC One.
Please help me. I'm new to this and I'm scared out of my mind!
If you are soff then connect the phone in fastboot mode and run the google edition ruu.
If not Soff, then post your fastboot getvar all output

How could I check if S-off, and if it is S-off how would I run the google edition Ruu? I have no way to transfer the zip to my phone.
Yes you do. Start searching the guides littered in this forum.

I have S-Off, so would I have to sideload the ROM from OSX to my phone?
If you have S-off then either run ruu or do fastboot flash ruu.zip.. Look up nik71 guide how to do that.

im having the same problem
i managed to get into twrp, and install 4.3, but its not 4.4
Bascially we are screwed
I too have the problem with blue screen on upgrade.
I got the OTA upgrade and when installing it, reboots, dropping me to a blue screen.
I have had TWRP with no issues
I have the Bigxie ROM installed.
When I try and get S-OFF and try moonshine, I can not find a version to match my HTC One
My phone was bought from Wind Mobile, and ROM IS is GLOBA001
Is there anyone who can assist us who are stuck in this way?
Thank you!

HELP! HTC One problem when in fastboot mode

i'm trying to install a stock Europe ROM from a RUU.zip because the RUU.exe wont run on my laptop for some reason (Windows 8.1 64bit)
i am S-off and have changed my CID to Super-CID and MID to the required one.
I have the latest HTC drivers installed and have uninstalled HTC Sync. my HBOOT version was 1.57 before, but i used firewater to obtain s-off and it brought my HOBOOT back to 1.44 (i don't know how) *i couldn't get s-off with 1.57*
i'm trying to follow this guide to install the ruu.zip
but i can only get as far as adb reboot-bootloaderon htcguru site
after it boots to bootloader mode the USB device becomes unrecognized and i cant fastboot any commands (waiting for device) shows up.
i restart my phone and i can mount to my laptop just fine and everything but when i get into fastboot mode it becomes unrecognized (Code 43), i've been up all night trying to find a solution but nothing. im lost for ideas.
ive tried different ports and restarted my laptop several times
any ideas. only reason i wanted the European ROM was to get rid of the o2 UK bootanimation and now its become a much bigger problem
i cant even run the ruu.exe file now that im s-off so im pretty much stumped

[Q] Different CID and RUU

I am having an issue with my phone in fastboot mode. After changing my CID to GOOGL001 from CWS_001, I was in the process of flashing the GPE RUU, but it got interrupted and it was stuck on the HTC logo for a while. I ended up rebooting the device and now it is unrecognized in fastboot, yet it still works in normal mode. In fastboot mode, it is a black screen instead of the normal white screen. I don't think anything is wrong with my drivers because everything was working alright before. Phone is still fully functional and I would like to either change my CID back to normal or continue with the GPE RUU. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I have tried using USBDeview to uninstall all drivers and reinstalled all HTC drivers, but I still cant get it to connect on fastboot. Has anyone had a similar issue with their phone or know what I can do?

my guess is that you are using windows 8 or above and your phone is on hboot 1.44.
try with windows 7, linux or mac.

Yeah I am on Windows 8.1, but my phone is on hboot 1.54 if that makes a difference. I will try to get on a computer with windows 7 next weekend when I get home. Really hoping that it works out because this has been stressing me out these past two days.

[Q] Hard bricked VZM HTC M7

Hey guys, so I tried to unlock my phone to switch over to T-mobile and in the process, I believe I bricked my phone. I followed some very misleading guide, and due to this, my phone is stuck on the RUU screen with the four triangles. To make things worse, my computer (running win 8.1) stopped being able to recognize my phone, so adb and fastboot won't recognize it either (I feel like this happened due to me trying to flash a RUU). I tried several times to re-install drivers to no avail. I don't think I can get to the recovery screen either. Is there any hope in saving this or is it a goner? Thanks.
What I've done so far before this state:
S-OFF
Rooted
changed the CID and MID to T-mobile relevant IDs

if you have used a 1.xx.xxx.x RUU with windows 8.1, thats the problem. When flashing a 1.xx.xxx.x ruu, your bootloader will downgrade to version 1.44. This bootloader version isn't compatible with windows 8.1 (fastboot won't work).
The ruu screen with 4 triangles = incomplete ruu flash. Most likely caused by the computer not being able to flash the entire RUU after hboot 1.44 was flashed.
If using a ruu.exe, you'll need to find a winXP or 7 pc. If using a ruu.zip, you can either use winXP, win7, Linux (recommand ubuntu 12.04 32 bits version) or MacOS.
Btw why did you flashed a ruu to unlock your phone? You know that sim-unlock can be done simply by using a paid code? Or if you have s-off you can sim-unlock for free using the sieempi method.
can you post all the information you can see on the bootloader screen here?
Uh I don't think I can get to the bootloader screen as it is stuck on the RUU screen. Would connecting my phone on linux get some response?

hold volume down and power until the phone reboot in bootloader mode. can you confirm the ruu version used?
I've done that and the screen just turns off and on with the RUU screen with the four triangles still there.
I've also tried connecting my phone on linux, after installing adb and fastboot, but it has given me a "HTC unknown usb device( device failed enumeration) " warning.
I used this ruu after hearing my phone should be using this ruu, I changed the cid to 11111111 and mid to tmobile on the android.info file so it would work
RUU Zip M7_WL_JB_50_VZW_1.10.605.10_decrypted
After flashing this once it gave me the hboot error thing to boot again, but that is when my phone stopped responding to fastboot.

I'm pretty sure your totally wasting your time you can't turn a CDMA Verizon phone into a GSM t-mobile phone by flashing a RUU
your going to end up with a bunch of screwed up partitions
this is how you get fastboot working on windows 8.1 hboot 1.44

[CLOSED] M7 not recognized in fastboot mode

Hello,
Currently I am running a converted GPE M7 and wanted to revert to stock ROM. But right after I changed my CiD from GOOGL001 to 11111111 the phone stopped getting recognized in fastboot mode (it gets recognized when booted normally). Can anyone help me solve this issue?
I have tried numerous guides on how to solve this, no luck. Tried reinstalling drivers, HTC sync drivers (removed sync), manually, nothing, phone shows a yellow exclamation mark in device manager. Using a USB2 port btw.
I am running win8.1 x64. Before it worked flawlessly. Now nothing... So can anyone help me with solving this and getting back stck ROM?
Phone is s-off, unlocked, rooted btw
Thanks all

hboot 1.44 isn't compatible with windows 8.1 hence why fastboot doesn't work but everything else is fine (detected when booted but not detected when in bootloader)
Use win 7 or try this walkaround

You can use Ubuntu on your computer without installing it, go to ubuntu website, download the iso and burn it on a disc. Boot your computer from the disc, select "try ubuntu". Once booted in ubuntu install android tools and flash your ruu.zip.

I want to use the stock RUU, I want to return my phone to stock, but of course the RUU must be compatible with my CiD and MiD, I believe

If I remember correctly, it was HTC__032 and PN0710000
@alray - I was trying it in ubuntu (14.04 version), but couldnt get very far... I couldnt install adb and fastboot
In the terminal I used these commands one by one:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
And after the last one it said - unable to locate package android-tools-adb etc.
After that, I am lost...
EDIT: I also tried Ubuntu 12.04 but there was no option to "Try without installing"
@alray - Ignore my previous post, I FINALLY made it work. The problem with the 12.04 version was, that I downloaded the wrong one, I downloaded the "alternate" version, not the "desktop" version, now it is working flawlessly and ADB+Fastboot are running, phone is detected in fastboot, so today I will be flashing back to stock
Many Thanks for your help and guidance

Don't forget that since you are using Ubuntu, you will have to use an older ruu.zip because newer ruu (7.xx.xxx.x) will only flash using htc_fastboot.exe which is Windows only. No problem flashing older RUU using the standard fastboot from ubuntu e.g. 1.28.401.7 or 4.19.401.9
