Not going to work. If you flash an international ROM you hose your storage partitions. Generally the only way to recover from this is via an RUU, but I'm guessing the user is S-ON so they'll have to wait for an updated RUU to turn up.
Need to try to get s-off, which will allow you to flash older ruu. Also I suggest in the future you read OP of any Rom you want to flash to make sure it's compatible with sprint

i have flashe internatinal rom trying to fix my gsm signal on my unlocked sprint htc one with no luck and the same has happened so ive fixed it by flashing recovery with the one click too or by using adb. Im s-off and unlocked though
same thing
I did the exact same thing. Flashed the revolution rom and selected the international version of it because it said that one applies to all carriers not listed below. stupid thing to overlook on my part. at first after doing so I was unable to get into my recovery then i used fastboot erase cache and once i did that I was able to fastboot flash the recovery image and navigate into it from the bootloader. ive tried everything i could think of once in my recovery, which is a version of cwm btw. Ive formatted data, erased cache and delvik, after that i tried installing my cyanogen 10.1 zip which i was successfully running without any problems for a day before i got greedy and tried to flash that international rom :crying: i made a backup of that working one but regardless of what I try doing whether it be restoring the back up that was working properly or re installing the cyan zip, every time it starts booting for about 30 secs then crashes reboots and tries again. it continues this loop for eternity and theres nothing i can do.looks like somebody said i messed up my internal storage partitions and im sol until a new ruu update comes out. I would greatly appreciate if someone would elaborate on that or point me in the direction of a good place to do some research on it. my bootloader says tampered, unlocked, s-on. there was also somebody that said try to get s-off and flash and older ruu. is this a possible fix?? i dont care how hard it is ill figure it out but right now im hurting for some help or direction. i appreciate any help. thanks

Are you trying this in fastboot? If you are just in the bootloader then the computer won't detect anything, but if you're in fastboot mode your computer should at least register an unknown device. And I don't think there are any 4.3 RUU's yet either...
You need to RUU, try this and see if it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44243635
You might be screwed in till there is an updated RUU.

Hey guys so another newb fail here, essentially I rooted my phone and installed a cmd rom and messed my phone up. Went through all the steps in trying to fix it, ruu etc but the ruu was out of date? Or my phone needed a different version. Anyway now my internal storage isn't mountable and I can't do anything. Very worried I ruined my phone! Does anyone have any advice?
A little more info would be helpful. Like what ROM exactly did you flash? Were you on the latest 1.31 RUU? Did you try flashing a 1.29 RUU?

It was this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356654
once I installed that everything went wrong, but I found a way to reboot because I made a backup and it saved to my phone and then i installed them7spr-RootBox-JB-houstonn rom, that worked for a bit but I had no service at all. So I tried to do the RUU trick but didn't realize the numbers didn't match the 1.31 as it prompted (it was 4 in the morning and I was really worried so I tried everything) so that crashed and my bootlock was locked, I then unlocked it again and when I tried to turn it on it would just load the rootbox rom's loading screen then power off. But in short yes, I was on 1,31 and tried flashing to 1.29
Got a little update, so I downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 and went into cmd and typed in fastboot flash recovery boot.img and got it to start loading the rom but it crashes after about 2 minutes. I can't go into recovery mode anymore, I'm assuming the flash wiped it clean? No idea what to do next. Any insight would be amazing!
1. Never flash ROMS that aren't made for your phone. ARHD is made for GSM variants of the HTC One only. I believe ARHD was also available for CDMA in point in time, but not anymore
2. You can't go back to previous RUU's unless you have S-off
Have you tried to RUU to 1.31? Did you re-lock your bootloader first? If not, do that first and you should be fine.

So i'm not exactly sure how i did it but somehow I must have deleted the OS on the phone.
I have s-off and it is unlocked but now I can't even boot up the phone. It is just stuck in the bootloader. if i try to boot it tells me that there is no OS installed and do i want to install SU. I have tried both installing it and not installing it. Neither works. It just hangs on the HTC screen till the battery dies and I can't even reboot it at that point. I just have to wait until the battery goes.
Please...does anyone know what I can do? How can I recover? Am I screwed!?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. I would have posted this in the development page but since I don't have enough posts, it won't let me.
If you still have a custom recovery (twrp/CWM) you can sideload a rom or adb push a rom
Have you tried the 1.29 RUU? Start the program with your phone in Fastboot.

Unless you are on 1.29 or 1.31 you will not be able to use the RUU

I just got a new laptop with 8.1 loaded on it... tried to flash a rom and it didnt go well.. bootlooping at the bootloader. computer wont recognize the phone, doesnt say fastboot usb. ive downloaded every possible driver i could find for 2 days and nothing...
basically ive narrowed it down to needing the amd usb host drivers for win 8.1 and i cant find em or a solution anywhere.
No i cant use another computer.
please please help, im totally screwed.
You can try this http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/
Or use a pc that is not Win 8.1
The good news is if you can get your hboot updated to 1.55 your phone will be recognized in fastboot.

after totally crashing my boot partitions trying to dual boot 8.1 & linux, I atttained dual boot... ugh was rough.. came to me in the middle of the night and i just hit 3 keys and bam, dual boot... ok
YES thanks to linux i was able to push a new recovery on as well as a new ROM!! yayyyyyyy not so much.
NOW.. i have a rom running but i have no firmware, radio, nothing.. In my quest to put a firmware on i have achieved S-OFF.. (I also used rumrunner, but my hboot remains 1.44?) and flashed what looked like working radio stuff, but nope. Should i be trying all this with a Sense ROM? Im on SlimKat atm. Thats my only idea now.. i've flashed firmwares out the wazoo and nothing gives me those lovely service bars... just an empty triangle... Any Thoughts? really dont want to download a 900meg rom.
thanks!!!
U may have to ruu. Also rumrunner is for 1.55 hboot so I really don't know if it would work. Revone and moonshine are for 1.44 check bd19 faq thread or pm him if he isn't busy he will gst u on the right path!:thumbup:
Use OMJ's stock rooted ROM. But if you just need firmware and you have S-off, flash the firmware set from OMJ's RUU thread in fastboot . Instructions are there in the thread.
If you need help, just ask. That should get you going. Also, you can flash the firmware package that does not include hboot, recovery and boot. It's on the thread as well.

The ROM has nothing to do with the firmware. You are not getting flashed if your radio shows unknown.
Are you entering fastboot oem and then flashing the firmware set?

No. No need to lock. You should be getting a radio version if you followed the few instructions in the thread for 'flashing modified firmware.' If you are really S-off, that should work.

Which firmware are you trying to flash? Give us a link.
I would suggest flashing the Full Firmware 3.04.651.2 found HERE
It should give you a fresh flash of the firmware as well as update your hboot to 1.55 which in turn will make your device recognized in fastboot with Windows 8.1
ok now im going crazy
i downloaded the RUU from that thread above and ran it... says that usb is not connected. I verified that it is by running adb devices and it lists my phone... fastboot reboot works,,, for some reason the RUU thinks its not connected?!?!?!
im pulling my hair out
I believe you are on Windows 8.x, from previous notes. You need to upgrade hboot as BD noted above, which means flash the full firmware package from the links we gave so you get hboot upgraded. I'd use your Ubuntu install for that, but no matter, your choice if you know Windows is working.
But if that works, I seriously think you can blow off the RUU and load a ROM at that point. I would also look at checking things out with the LTE app from the play store once your radio is up, but be very careful with that app and only change the cdma/gsm/whatever selection option.

You could try it multiple times. Reboot the phone, computer, change USB ports, etc.. Who knows, maybe it'll work.
I know the M8 I got S-Off on took the 1.54.651.8 OTA before I even bothered to actually mess with it (unlock bootloader, root, and S-Off) and it was perfectly able to do all of those things.

If Firewater says it won't work on your device, then you can't get S-OFF for the time being. There's nothing you can do about that.
Don't flash anything above 1.54.651.8 without being S-Off

I'm running into the same problem and I need it badly.
If you do flash .13 without S-off you basically will have no way to flash the firmware and could be without audio from the stock music app.
Wow it's been a long night. This is a learning process for me. I've never come to a new phone so quickly so I'm getting used to the fact that development takes time and I need to be patient. I pretty much soft bricked my phone last night. Ended up deleting my system partition and had to pull some tricks to even get back into a bootable rom. I took one of the TWRP stock restores and reverted all the way back to 1.12.651.17. Then I fastboot flashed the stock recovery from 1.54.651.8 and took the OTA update so now I am completely back to stock....FEW...avoided a trip to the sprint store. I now understand that since I don't have S-OFF yet, I should flash any software versions over .8. In order to have a fully working .13, I'm sure the firmware is required as well (most likely the reason why my audio wasn't working for some of the ROMs). However, I'm still stuck with the issue in the picture below. I need to get S-OFF so I can flash the firmware 1.54.651.8, including the Hboot, Is it possible to flash an Hboot.img without being S-OFF?
#firewater is the IRC channel for the S-OFF by the way.
Also why is my radio and open dsp showing invalid-ver-info?
Anybody please help?
And something is really messed up because now my vibration won't work. No idea what is going on I just badly need s-off.
@mhuffer
So what is your current issue? It sounds like you have a working 1.54.651.8 setup, which, without S-OFF, is the most up-to-date. You might not be able to run the Harman Kardon ROM, as that may require the HK firmware, but besides that is everything working (outside of the invalid entries showing in HBOOT)?

Well it seems like my Hboot isn't recognizing my radios and somthing tells me the firmware is borked somehow because my vibration feedback isn't working. I am currently on 1.54.651.8, rooted, dev unlocked, fully stock. You can see from the picture my Hboot doesn't look right. My vibration was working fine yesterday but i cannot pin point when it stopped working. I'm guessing when I accidentally deleted the system partition through TWRP 2.7.0.7. I am currently running your version of TWRP (2.7.0.7). I'm also in the firewater IRC asking for help. I think my best bet would be to get s-off somehow and hboot the framework from 1.54.651.8 with unmodified hboot so I can get back to stock (if this is possible). At some point in all my confusion last night I did change my CID version to 11111111 and try to run the RUU for the HK version (.13) this might be where it all went wrong. I have my phone up and running and everything is working except for vibration and the Hboot looks out of whack.

Well if you're not S-OFF, you couldn't have changed your CID. And if you ran the OTA to get where you are now, then you're firmware is already stock.
You can try flashing the stock firmware from the 1.54.651.8 OTA again and see if that normalizes your device.

How do I flash it without being S-off? Can I run it with S-On? I think I really just need a way to revert my Hboot to stock. I was hoping somebody had an RUU available that would just wipe everything and start from scratch.

Well if you're not S-OFF, you couldn't have changed your CID. And if you ran the OTA to get where you are now, then you're firmware is already stock.
You can try flashing the stock firmware from the 1.54.651.8 OTA again and see if that normalizes your device.

I need someway to revert my Hboot while being S-ON. I was hoping somebody that had some knowledge could make and RUU with the proper CID to revert EVERYTHING back to stock. I mean I want to start from the bottom up. I don't know if this is possible without HTC releasing anything.

No one can make a RUU it has to be leaked from HTC.

I figured that, is there any way to create a flashable zip with signed everything except for the recovery so I can possibly push it through TWRP. You have to understand I want to try everything possibly before returning this phone to sprint. I have a feeling they will want to ship it off to HTC if the vibration doesn't work.

You don't need to be S-OFF to flash the signed firmware.zip through HBOOT, which is why I suggested it.

Relock Bootloader, then fastboot oem rebootRUU, then fastboot flash zip firmware.zip.
Then you can unlock again if you want and flash custom recovery. But you can at least see if the firmware zip gets everything working properly again.

You could try it multiple times. Reboot the phone, computer, change USB ports, etc.. Who knows, maybe it'll work.
I know the M8 I got S-Off on took the 1.54.651.8 OTA before I even bothered to actually mess with it (unlock bootloader, root, and S-Off) and it was perfectly able to do all of those things.

I never got a message of "You are out of luck" on my failed attempts. But....
First phone took me like 3 tries. Windows 7 x64
Second phone took like 4 failed attempts Windows 8.1 x64 (same computer) (timing out with over 2 minutes of dots......) using the exact same version of firewater as previous phone.
I was not sure if it was a Windows 8 issue.
Then I tried downloading the latest firewater and it was different from what I downloaded a month ago and worked the first time.
I agree. Try multiple times. Try with phone on WIFI vs Mobile Data. SO that Data is available quickly after adb reboot.
Try rebooting computer and try even another computer another USB port. Some computers have internal "USB Hubs". Try front vs Back etc.
I was able to do it on Windows 8.1 x64. I install latest HTC Sync. Then uninstall everything but the drivers.
I also had flashed Bad Boys 1.1 (Unlocked with S-ON) to get my rooted OS instead of manually rooting it. Then Factory Reset it. Turned on WIFI then did S-OFF.
Most rooted ROMs remove a lot of baggage that might interfere with rooting.
I'm still running all stock firmware though except for Recovery.
Thanks for all your replies. I keep trying, even with wifi on, and get this message every time (see attached picture). I really need s-off for wifi tether and so many more things. Please, someone must know a work-around?

It doesn't matter how many times you try. It won't work. Read the message.

Ouch, pretty blunt message.
You don't need S-OFF to get wifi tether. All you need is HTC Unlock and Root.
S-OFF mainly allows you to flash firmware. You can only flash complete and signed firmware without S-OFF.
And each time you do, you'll have to reflash recovery.
I believe you can install several ROMs with S-ON that support Wifi Tether.
I ran "Wifi Tether Router" from Google Play ($1.99) with S-ON (HTC Unlock/Root) before S-OFF was available.

The Captain is right. I got on the IRC this morning and talked to the firewater guys. They didn't really say why but they were at least a good amount of help. I can't say I blame them for not releasing any information on why. I just wish I knew about bootloader exploits.
Also, I'm on windows 7 pro 64-bit. I have a laptop with win 8 64-bit, but am afraid to try on that PC due to ALL its USB ports are 3.0 (and firewater says to avoid 3.0 ports).

Does this firmware.zip possibly have the hboot and boot.img included? If not could you please make me one with it. It worked but the Hboot still says Tampered Relocked and my Radio and Open DSP say Invalid_Ver_Info and I still don't have vibration.
