Attempted my first root and ROM flash.
Followed HTC Holiday Superguide instructions (I did skip the S-OFF bit) then tried to flash CyanogenMod 10 using these instructions. Got stuck on the CyanogenMod flash screen. Don't quite remember what I did in my panicked attempts to recover. I did relock the bootloader at some point.
Now the phone continually boots to HBoot.
Can't find the RUU I need anywhere (Telstra 3.44.841.3).
Should I return to Apple in shame having found myself not man enough for rooted Androids? Or can someone help me regain some self-respect?

When I choose RECOVERY, it displays the HTC logo while a status bar fills up, then it goes back to HBoot.

Okay so you no longer have a custom recovery installed ? Is your HBOOT still locked ? If it is still locked unlock it and Flash TWRP or WCX recovery and see if you can boot into recovery.

It is still locked, but can I flash TWRP or WCX without having access to the phone's internal SD card through Windows? I don't know how to get them on there without that (when I connect the phone to my PC, I don't get the option anymore).

No SDCARD ?
Either way you can have the recovery saved to some place on your PC and flash it to the phone. In HBOOT you should select fastboot USB and this will allow you to send fastboot commands to the phone. EX fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash a recovery.

Your set.. you should be able to flash your rom of choice and fastboot flash boot boot.im (I'm assuming your not S-OFF) and then the phone will boot up like it should. The boot.img file will be located in the ROM zip but you may have to push modules around to get wifi to work depending on the ROM.

Well, I haven't managed to get anywhere. I've tried flashing a couple of different ROMs, but I couldn't get them to boot. When I boot into recovery, I get a bunch of "Can't mount" notifications. Is that bad?

Hi -
Thanks for any help in advance. I'm a bit of a rookie round here, I've rooted and flashed my past 3 HTC phones but taken the easy route every time.
But today, I've used ADB commands to flash the revone binary and unlock and get s-off on my HTC one m7. It took me several tries, but it eventually worked (or at least said successful). So my HBOOT 1.44 says UNLOCKED & S-OFF.
So onto the next step. fastboot flash recovery recoverytwrp.img
...
Another success!
So, I reboot into bootloader and prompt recovery boot like I'm about to get HAM on twrp and flash some superuser files. It shows me a developer screen full of red print saying that it's booting into recovery, and then after a while, it just rebooted back into system.
It does this every time. I reflashed the image, I flashed the stock image, I tried the hansoon tool. each time I can't actually get into the recovery.
So this is where I'm stuck. Why can't I get anywhere with this?

Gave that all a shot all over again. Still can't boot into recovery
Is fast boot off?
Use the original cable your One came with, go into bootloader power/vol - then open a cmd window
Now connect the One with your computer, don't use a USB 3.0 connection, and a different one then before.
In bootloader choose fastboot, that should change to fastboot USB
In cmd window point to your fastboot directory where you also copied the recovery to, I would try CWM touch for now.
Type cd c:\fastboot (or what your toolfolder is called)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
That installs the recovery, you can select it in bootloader abd boot into it.

Is that something I can do with the revone binary? To be honest, I have no idea how to turn security back on. I can relock it and that may be about it.
I stumbled upon another thread, shares a common theme as my issue, but with a different twist. Using a superboot.img as a rooting method instead of flashing it via recovery. It somewhere says that the boot.img needs to be flashed as well, however I can't find a decent boot.img to flash. The superboot tool seems like unproven territory right now.
Here's the other thread, I've leafed through it and found no determinable answer for my particular issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39852757#post39852757
Do not apply revone to return s-on!
Use fastboot by "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Be convinced that bootloader is unlocked before return to s-on.
Regarding your issue: I suspect that a certain code in HBOOT tries to install TAMPERED flag when sees custom recovery, but isn't able to do it correctly because s-off (bypassing security) and a certain mistake or exception conducts to reset phone.

I've just skimmed through the posts and didn't see this mentioned
If you are still able to boot into the system, download either GooManager (for TWRP) or RomManager (for CWM) and use either of those apps to install recovery. Once done, you can use the app to boot into recovery instead of the fancy ADB commands or button presses.

So both that method through ADB shell and GooManager require root. Every rooting method requires recovery, so I don't have perm root yet.
You quoted me, but answered not to me.
Read a post #26 from my link above
Possible Solution
Hello I have the same problem and the solution was:
1. Settings - Energy- Fastboot uncheked
2. Flash Recovery usin one all-in-one-kit
3. Erase Cache 3 times
4. Unplug to PC, and load into system normal
5. Turn off phone - via stock menu NOT FORCE TO OFF pressing the off button
6. Wait 2 minutes, and boot into HBOOT - Power + Volume(-) pressing
7. Choose recovery
Ready.. May these work for you! Let me know

How did you install these custom recoveries? You need to flash them in FASTBOOT USB mode with an unlocked bootloader.
You need to copy the recovery's img file to the same directory where you install and run ADB.exe and FASTBOOT.exe from and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img file]
I did so

I forgot to say, that hboot shows "eMMC-boot", what does it mean?
Just got my One back from warranty repair. Looks like they either gave me a new main board or updated my device, I'm on the latest Bell 4.19.666.8 with hboot 1.56.
I figured I would get a full nandroid backup of the phone at stock 4.4.2, but I can't seem to get fastboot boot to work. Don't want to flash the recovery as I want to get a backup of the stock one.
with the phone in FASTBOOT USB, I ran

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.311s]

OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 1.311s
But the device just sits at the fastboot screen and does nothing. It doesn't even respond to fastboot commands anymore so I have to force power off and reboot.
I saw on the Nexus 4 forum that on that phone you now have to specify a kernel command line with fastboot boot - something like
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img
Is this true for the One too? If so, what is the command line? I'm guessing lge.kcal is specific to LG devices.

Couldn't find stock recovery 4.19.666.8, but if it's for future OTAs then any stock recovery 4.19.xxx.x should work (maybe even 3.xx.666.x)
This is a good source for stock recoveries [Recovery]Collection of Stock Recovery
If you're using a stock recovery that is not a 100% match, then the OTA would just hang, and you have to manually reboot for it to continue.... you can check my guide under CWM method about info on that.

I was thinking more for archival purposes- Just in case. I restored my phone back to stock twice for warranty, your guide was very helpful.
I think I'll just go ahead and flash CWM/TWRP, my warranty is done anyway.

do go back to warranty you need to set phone to LOCKED, which is only possible with S-Off.
the fastboot oem lock command will set your bootloader to RELOCKED, so they would know you've unlocked it.... so stock recovery is the least of your worries if you want to ever go 100% back to stock.
stick with TWRP 2.6.3.3 or higher, but not 2.7.0.0 which seems to have problems with adb (and if i remember correctly charging when phone is off... though it could be a different one)
get TWRP from:
2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
(make sure MD5 is correct, that site does not play nice with download managers)
or 2.7.0.4b: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708134
EDIT: forgot to tell you why TWRP: it's compatible with 4.4 ROMs, CWM doesn't seem fully updated yet
Happy flashing :laugh:
So I'm having a hard time here LOL.
I come from a soft brick and after some issues I got my m7_ul back to stock, which is great as it is alive again Now I want to flash a decent ROM, I have thought about ViperOne. However my TWRP 2.7.1.1 seems corrupted, I can't even enter it and I have had a couple of scary moments as the phone won't boot to system. Finally pressing the power button for like 30 seconds did the job and it booted to system. Stock ROM sucks but it is better than a brick haha.
My phone is international m7_ul, my HBOOT is 1.44 and I have Tampered and Unlocked labels, not sure what should I do exactly. Just want the basic strategy to get my custom ROM running and later on I will add a soundmod but that should be easier.

Suggest re-download, the re-flash TWRP, flash in fastboot fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img> and then fastboot erase cache, this should allow you to enter recovery.
wow that was fast thanks, problem solved, I'm now running TWRP 2.6.3.4
so now I just place the desired ROM flash it, wipe dalvik and cache, and voila, right? will try to find if viperone is compatible with m7ul, I had a problem with ARHD 71.1
