Major root issues HELP! partial brick?

*First of all, I'm posting here because I haven't had enough posts for the dev section yet..*
So...I've never had any issues rooting and installing ROMs.. not that I've done a TON, but two phones and 3 tablets, so I little ha..
Got my HTC One unlocked and rooted fine with the All-in-one tool, which worked good enough, but when I tried to get a ROM working is when I ran into issues.
I guess I'll tell the main issue first and then explain what happened..
Either only boots to bootloader/fastboot,
OR
Gets stuck on HTC logo and never leaves..
Am I screwed?
What I did that I think effed it...
After getting rooted and running, I tried to install RenovateROM_1.0...kept just randomly stopping and giving an error about "asset failed..." and just booted normally (no ROM)
I googled the hell out of that I tried editing the updater-script like I saw in so many places, and then I screwed up cause it was 3:30am and I was sick of trying.
I was gonna wipe the cache and data before I tried installing again, but I ended up wiping System in there and possibly Dalvik cache as well..
(I know that was stupid now!!!! Feel free to remind me haha..)
And now it's stuck.
If I try install a ROM, it says it completes, but won't boot past fastboot/bootloader.
If I re-flash my TWRP with fastboot, then reboot-bootloader, THEN reboot, it gets the HTC and stays.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks much in advance..

I did that too kinda (wiped everything on accident) Try to ADB sideload the Rom in the advanced options to TWRP otherwise you have to download the RUU and relock the phone up etc. And start over.

Thanks for the reply! Can you possibly link me to a decent tut on how to use RUU? I never have.
I guess I can just look too, but seems like they're always different depending on the phone!

Is that even a Sprint HTC One rom?

It's under Sprint HTC One Dev so I figured? Is that accurate or am I missing something?
I'm trying to start ADB sideload from twrp and it just sits at "Starting ADB sideload feature..."
and ADB says "error: no device found"
thanks for helping out!

AFAIK there are 4 HTC One forums
HTC One
Sprint HTC One
AT&T HTC One
T-Mobile HTC One
You may have flashed a rom for another variant do you have a link I didn't see that rom listed

Your right bigdaddy, shaun you flashed a gsm rom i'm guessing from the unbranded forum.
Download the ruu from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
boot your phone into bootloader and make sure your bootloader is in fastboot
extract that ruu file to somewhere you can find easily maybe the desktop
open your command prompt and navigate to your android sdk folder and run this fastboot command
fastboot oem lock
then after you've relocked the bootloader
run the command
fastboot oem rebootRUU
run the setup.exe from the ruu file and let it return you to stock

ViperOne is a Sprint rom but you said
After getting rooted and running, I tried to install RenovateROM_1.0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I assumed it was from one of the variants
Maybe sending -viperboy- a PM with a link to this thread maybe he can help get you going

that's actually vipers rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202696
I found this link on the m7 forum is this what you flashed? if so this for the non-branded gsm htc one and not the cmda sprint htc one
it also looks like you flashed the renovate rom initial release, That dev is using svn to update nightlies. I'm guessing the "sprint support" is in one of those updates and not the initial release

Thank you guys so much!

good deal. Just remember to read everything before flashing. And if your unsure ask. I've had very minimal issues with flashing and changing settings but when I have its been totally my fault for not completely reading an op. if you flash and go back to read a step you've missed its usually too late.

Yeah dude, you're lucky that the international rom you flashed had asserts in it to check device type, or you might've had an actual paperweight on your hands. Stick to the Sprint forums next time.

Yeah I scared myself for sure.. even this morning activating it scared me a little cause normally use the DEC, but it said 'not a valid Sprint ESN', and the HEX
worked great.
Any ideas why that would be?

[Q] Constantly restarting at welcome screen

Hello guys,
I'm in a bit of a pickle here....
I've got a HTC One which I've rooted and unlocked though not S-Off by the looks of things and I had SinLess rom installed fine, it started playing up so I though I'd update it. Bung the new one version on there via sideload and install... Marvelous.
Only now, it gets to the welcome screen as silly ol' me did a factory wipe as well as all cache and after about 5 seconds of Welcome - Choose language. It restarts.
I then decided to try a new rom, so grabbed Android Revolution. To no avail either....
On bootloader it shows as HBOOT - 1.54
S-On
**TAMPERED**
**UNLOCKED**
What can I do to actually get a working rom on this thing?
If there is any more details I need to give please say so as this is my first time flashing something as complicated as this. All my old android devices were far far simplar :crying:
- Here's the facepalm moment - I didn't do an nandroid backup due to it not working and I wanted to put a new ROM on there so I didn't look into getting it working. If I could injure myself I would.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. :good:
Kind regards, Ian.

Hey your'e stuck in a boot loop, its usual
just download a good stable rom
clear data/ cache
flash the rom and you'll be out of it,
If this thing doesnt work out download the orignal RUU and get back to stock

Yeah, after attempting to install 3 different roms.
Sinless, ARHD and SkyDragon, I'm going to try a different recovery as I'm currently using TWRP 2.6.3.3 and I know there is an update but also I want to see if CWM can do anything with the 6.0.4.3 version....

Hello,
To no avail, after trying different recoveries, nothing.
Looks like I've got a metal slab...
It just keeps restarting itself at the welcome screen, the only other thing I can think of would be to fully wipe EVERYTHING on the phone but I'm not sure that's too good of a move either...
Argh.

You have to be s-off to run these Roms

[Q] Remove CWM for TWRP issues

Hi friends
I am currently running my HTC ONE with a Venom Rom and been told I need TWRP to update to v4.1
Cannnot get TWRP to go over CWM :/
I have removed ROM Manager but still boots into CWM
I have installed GooManager and it asks if I want to install the open recovery script, does the 10 second count down, and then goes back to main screen, does not do anything else - I have removed it and reinstalled, still same issue
If I use Goo to boot in to Recovery it just freezes on the YES/NO screen and then says script is taking too long wait or cancel :/ Left it for ages to no avail
When I looked in ROM Manager it did state Twrp was the recovery but stil booted in to CWM - now I have removed ROM Manager as I read on here that might be the issue :/
I have also just checked for CWM APP, and that is NOT installed
Can anyone help or am I going to have to flash a STOCK ROM then go back to Venom?
Cheers guys

So basically, you want to install TWRP recovery replacing your current CWM recovery right? but can't make it happen since everytime you do, you ended up still having CWM?
Try flashing this file using CWM.

Just flash the recovery through fastboot

That worked like a charm - THANK YOU mate
I downloaded it but they were all IMG files and its been a while since I used CLI and couldn't remember the settings
lol
Now to flash the ROM
Again, I thank you!

@skpManiac (OP), stop using toolkits, goos, youtubes, etc. if you want to flash low-level stuff, then do it the "hard way"
1- download the file
2- VERIFY MD5
3- (ironically) use 3 (as in three) command lines:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Why would I stop using the methods that the guys who make the ROM tell us to use?

[Q] Problems Installing - ★AMCHA Rom v5.00

So I've tried installing this half a dozen times, I did a full wipe I'm using the i9305 and installing this using both kernel options for the knox based bootloader, after it completes installation it says complete, reboot the phone and I end up stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s3 black screen and it never boots into the os.
I noticed while installing this it installs some modem not sure what one it is but I thought perhaps that was the issue, to installed went straight into download mode and flashed a optus modem i've been using for my phone rebooted but still same issue.
Would appreciate some help with this, I've tried searching the thread for similar issues no such luck.
Thanks

True, that could be it, except i thought of that myself and just hit next next next to the end and hit install to see if it would help matters it didn't. Yeah I tried posting there to begin with, but even if your an advanced person you have to post here first lol fun times
I did think maybe there's a newer version of philz recovery out and mine just buggers it up some how it offers to install 6.41.6 not sure what my version is.. it crossed my mind tho but I wouldn't presume that's the most likely of causes.

[Q] M7 Custom roms install then freeze

Got an interesting issue. Interesting as in annoying the **** outta me ha ha
My phone accepts and installs any custom ROM (Tried Maximus, ViperOne and Revolution so far) it says successfully installed, press here to reboot - all good to that point. I then reboot and it sticks at the HTC screen forever - left it overnight just in case it was doing something funky and just needed time. Some of the ROM issues I've read about suggest clearing cache etc. No luck so far.
If I then hard reboot, go to recovery and clear cache or factory reset it doesn't change the result. The only ROM that doesn't have this issue is CM 11 via their installer program.
Any ideas what I'm missing?
I thought about finding a RUU and going back to the start but of course I can't find a RUU for my area (Australia) nearest one is Asia - and I'm not sure if I can just use another RUU and cant find anything to say either way.
Can anyone give me any pointers?? Ideally I'd like to be left with the Revolution ROM BTW
Thanks

Did you try to update your custom recovery?
