I was following Vomer's guide on my One, which has been working great. I had HBOOT 1.54, S-Off, SuperCID, and pushed the firmware twice, got the success message, and waited and when it says finished used adb to tell it to reboot. Now I get the splash, with the lock gone, as expected, and then the screen goes black. If I hold power, or power and down, the hardware keys start blinking and then nothing. A few seconds later I get the splash again, then blank again.
It appears to be communicating briefly over USB because my laptop starts trying to install a HTC MTP device (drive is already on the PC and has been fine) before it looses comms and drops out. I can't seem to get adb device to recognize it....
PLEASE tell me someone can help me recover my phone!!! I will be immensely grateful.
And what the HBOOT version you wanted to downgrade to?

I wasn't trying to downgrade HBOOT, just rather ensure my firmware was up to date. I'd had mine set up as a GPE and was flashing the DE (after supercid).
By way of an update, I've been able to get into bootloader and I'm a bit scared on what to do next so I dont screw this up. I notice that I still have S-OFF, but HBOOT is now showing 1.56 and it says RELOCKED at the top. My plan was to use rumrunner (just because of the HBOOT, but it is erroring anyway) to unlock bootloader, and then to look up the fastboot commands to push a ROM and recovery. Any advice?
Downgrade to 1.44 and change cid according to the Rom you want. Then unlock or set your bootloader to LOCKED
Here is the file for 1.44 http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/95229262/file.html

Can you help me with the adb commands to flash that boot zip? Also, should I run " fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" to unlock my bootloader first?

You can unlock if you want to flash custom recovery.
Place the file i gave you to the fastboot folder. Boot into bootloader and choose FASTBOOT.
Run the following : fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip filename.zip *where filaname the actual filename of the file i gave you
You will get FAILED or sth so do this command again to succesfully flash the firmware.

Awesome. So I've got HBOOT 1.44, S-OFF, bootloader unlocked, supercid, and TWRP 2.6.3.3 flashed again, and I tried sideloading ARHD rom. It all looked good but same thing for the moment, I get the splash and then black......I can't figure out why I can't boot into a rom right now. About to try flashing ROM again.
Okay, so didnt' work. After sideload flashing gets to 100% it just does nothing. Manually rebooting gets me back into the splash then blackness bootloop......
Can you issue fastboot clear cache in bootloader and see the outcome?
Also as you are Soff, you can run dev ruu

The former didn't get me anywhere, but I did follow your thinking and decided to use the RUU and start over. I'm happy to report that got me going, and then I was able to get AR HD on. I probably had to do that all along once I wiped the ROM and recovery, as sideloading clearly wasn't going to work (in retrospect) as it has an AROMA installer.
Thanks so much everyone!!

Hi
I went to update my firmware earlier so went to update the firmware, but first had to relock the bootloader.
I typed fastboot oem lock and got ... underneath it and it stuck there for hours. The screen on the phone had frozen too.
In the end I pulled the cable to go back into bootloader. The CMD prompt then said it had relocked it and then some read error.
I think the system is now wiped as all it does is boot into bootloader or fastboot. I tried to send the stock recovery img from ARHD site but get a signature error.
What should I do?
I have tampered and relocked at the top of the bootloader screens and fastbootoem lock does confirm it is locked
Thanks!
I have done the exact same thing! I am kinda freaking out.

1. try and unlock the bootloader again
2. flash custom recovery twrp or cwm
3. adb sideload rom.zip within custom recovery.
hopefully that will get you up and running again.
i had a similar problem where system got completely wiped, i couldnt adb sideload though. just couldn't get it to work. luckily i have an otg cable, so i mounted a flash stick in twrp and flashed custom rom via otg and everything fine again.
hope this helps

OK. Phew!!!
Unlocked bootloader again with the unlock token. Then it rebooted straight into ARHD 4.6 that was on there, so it obviously hadn't been wiped but some sort of odd issue.
Now a bit concerned about trying to update firmware again, as when it had "security warning" fastboot oem rebootRUU didn't work at all.
Would love some more info about this and how to do it better next time!

Glad you got it running again. are you talking about flashing the new firmware.zip ota file that contains new radio. If so i can't really shed any light on this for you as my cid is h3g_001 so currently i can't update my firmware

Yep thats right, the firmware.zip. CID is HTC__001 on mine. Assume that it is anyway, and that reading it from within ARHD doesn't show it differently? Never looked before flashing the custom rom.

easiest way to confirm cid is download cid getter from play store. if its HTC_001 you should be fine.
Yep, done that and confirmed with getvar all so should be fine. Now I just need to relock the bootloader so it lets me rebootRUU. Last time it refused and froze.

Odd. Worked perfectly second time around. Done and dusted within minutes. No idea what went wrong!?!?
Having trouble with this OS because I want to update to (Sense 5.5) (4.4.2) but I'm stuck on (Sense 5.0) (4.2.2). Just becoming extremely frustrated and cannot find a firmware update to move my OS up to 1.10.605.10 or even 1.10.605.8.
I am on Verizon and have HBOOT - 1.54, Superuser, S-OFF, and Bootloader Unlocked. Right now after what I have been reading today it seems as if I am stuck with this OS and wont be able to receive the OTA updates to get a better ROM.
Although one good thing that happened is I just got my recovery working today thanks to "philz_touch_6.19.3-m7vzw"
So if anybody and I mean anybody has any suggestions on how I can do this or even point me in the direction of the best ROM for my requirements it would be greatly appreciated.
I do not remember rooting being this difficult with my Thunderbolt.
Best regards,

this RUU will get you to .10
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_wl_jb_50_vzw_1-10-605-10_decrypted-zip/
Instructions for Flashing RUU Zip Files:
Download the RUU.zip file and place in your ADB/fastboot folder. I would recommend renaming the zip file to something simple like ruu.zip.
Boot your phone into the bootloader by holding the power and vol up/down buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader screen or if you have your phone booted you can use the ADB command:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now use these fastboot commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Should see the Silver HTC logo. Now issue this command to flash your phone using the ruu.zip file:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:
fastboot reboot
**Notes about the RUU.zip method. You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first. If you are running the RUU.zip as base to downgrade all your firmware because you are going to then going to restore a stock Nandroid so the RUU might not be made for your MID, so you may need to edit the android-info.txt inside the ruu.zip to include your MID or CID.

Also I'm "SuperCID 11111111" probably should have mentioned this earlier.
Everything worked and had no issues, but now I'm confused on what to do next.
I don't want to install the newest OTA update because it seems that people are having issues with it.

Then just flash back to your custom recovery and root the phone
flash this from recovery >> http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip

Yeah I was a little to tired to realize what I was talking about last night.
I was going back and forth between studying java, ascii, and unix for my exam earlier today and trying to get my phone squared away.
Now I'm curious about updating my baseband unless it really won't make much of a difference.
But this is where I ended up at.

Hi Everyone
While trying to unroot my one i eventually got stuck on my bootloader. What happened was that I typed in "fastboot oem lock" in adb and now I can't go into recovery or reboot. I know I should install a RUU at this point but I can't find an RUU for my phone! When I get "fastboot getvar all" I see that my "version-main" is 3.23.666.1 (is that the right one to look at?) and so I've scoured for hours for an RUU but only found OTAs which I don't know how to use. If it helps I'm on HBOOT 1.55.
I also remember pressing unroot in OTA unroot (I don't remember the exact app name) and tried pressing restore root but it did nothing so I started doing the above stuff with RUUs.
I'm pretty stumped right now and I would appreciate any help at all, thank you!

If you have an unlocktoken flash it with fastboot flashunlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
If you dont have it, go to htcdev.com and visit unlock bootloader section and follow instructions there.
Once your bootloader is unlocked again, flash twrp recovery and ABD sideload some ROM.
After this you can start all over again whatever it is you were trying to do.
P.S. this will not get you the right RUU package but it will get your phone back to useful condition.
My advice is first you find an RUU for your phone and then do the bootloader manipulations.

Thanks for the reply! I did that and my phone was working fine again. I went to go flash a stock rom that I found and it flashed fine but now the NFC logo flashes in the status bar even though it's not on. Also, my wifi doesn't work! It constantly says turning on wifi.. I'm trying to flash a different stock rom but I can't enter recovery anymore I would be fine except no wifi is a bit of a problem. Thank you for the reply by the way, is there a chance you can help me find an RUU for my phone? I've searched everywhere but there doesn't seem to be one.

after that I flashed twrp again and then i was able to boot up to OS again. Thanks for the help everyone!

Restart from scratch find the ruu.exe for your phone make sure it has the right specs of your phone (android,sense,and service provider) once found follow these instructions
1.) Go to Fastboot
2.) Run the commands
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
3.) Run the RUU
The first command locks your bootloader (allowing RUU), the third command allows the RUU to run on your phone without having to actually boot all the way (normally it just boots into this screen for you).
This will put you back to ur stock Rom when rooting again make sure to make backups of everything or you will have same problem again
Make sure you have all the updated drivers for your computer

A RUU.exe file only requires the bootloader locked if S-ON. When the bootloader is locked, the RUU is executed with a double click in Windows. There is no need to do the other steps in 2, they are only needed if the RUU is a zip file. Here are the steps for flashing RUU.zip:
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash it:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes TWICE, the first one will report “failed flush again”, the second one will succeed.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
that is true

That is true method is similar but this is how I got my phone to return to stock be for I could go anywhere else I tryed reflashing a recovery it didn't take I even tryed flashing the ruu.zip through fastboot it always failed on me since I couldn't go any further than that I searched other methods of flashing ruu that's what I came across and it worked for me also if you have s-off this usually turns it back on it did for me on step 2 not all of those steps are needed but the last one is what gets the phone ready to receive the info from the ruu.exe being run on a computer
Hi. I have been searching for two days on how to restore my phone to a stock Rom. I flashed some lame Rom that I can't remember the name of (has a blue firebird boot screen...) and now that's the only Rom I can flash. I tried many rims but haven't had any luck. I know the lame Rom I flashed made me first flash a boot image. I trtried reflashing a stock boot image but it doesn't help. The stock roms succeed but stay stuck on the lock screen totally unresponsive except for the power button to hard reset... I'm trying to get S-Off with FireWire but it fails saying that it cannot s-Off my device. Cannot RUU since I'm s-on and have no clue what to do.
The boot loader reads that the O.S. is version 4.19.531.10 but I currently have no O.S. installed since I wiped.
The boot loader is version 1.56 and it's a T-Mobile USA version.
ADB Sideload works but the install is faulty as described.
Thanks.

update your recovery to 2.6.3.3 and flash your rom again.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
you can also use the latest RUU.exe which will restore your phone back to stock and updated to the latest version. (better option imo)

I'm going to try to update the recovery first because when I try to relock the bootloader even after flashing stock recovery it just boots to the bootloader even with a rom installed. (Even if its the erroring stock rom)

Okay well I'm having no luck. Trying to flash the RUU wont work and updating the recovery didn't work. The ruu just hangs at 5% Checking headers. I tried extracting the rom.zip from the ruu but I get the invalid size crap and when trying to open the rom.zip it gives me an invalid error. I don't know what to do here.

Let try this using the version just above your base version:
Download, rename to firmware.zip and place in your adb/fastboot folder: firmware 5.14.531.1
Boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
Type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem lock[/I][/B]
Type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

Now run this RUU 5.14.531.1
If this is successful you can try to achieve S-OFF with firewater. Of course, you will need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery. Or, you can retry the RUU in alray's post.

Thanks. This restored the phone to a usable state. I'm going to try firewater now.
