Okay so i tried to install a custom rom, but it failed, now when ever i execute adb reboot-boatloader the device goes into the boatloader but i can't use adb/fastboot as it doesn't recognize the device. I have windows 8, and it seems windows doesn't find the driver, but when I boot the phone normaly, i can access it using adb (but not fastboot). Any ideas ?
I still can execute the recovery option in the boot loader, but i have nor Zip file to install. I also changed the cid, so the stock rom won't flash.
Advice appreciated

I haven't use Windows 8, but so far I don't have any problem with Windows 7. I assume have already install the HTC driver. If not, you can install the HTC syn which comes with the driver.

Yes, I already installed the HTC drivers (htc sync +d rivers, then uninstalled htc sync, as it get's annoying while plugin on off of the phone)
My biggest problem is that, now fastboot is not running in bootloader mode, so I can't even flash an image or change back the settings i did.
(And of course seems like in bootloader mode, that windows can't find the phone).
So my Idea would be to flash a Zip.rom, like the over the air updates using the recovery option. It's just that i changed the CID to GOOGLE001. :/

Yes, you can uninstall it or use MSCONFIG to remove it on start up. : )
ok, have you try boot the phone in fastboot mode and type "fastboot devices" in command prompt?

Jep, so what i do is, i power the phone on, it boots into stock android --> adb devices works and retunrs my phonenumber (also the windwos driver is fine while in stock android)
i do adb reboot-bootloader and it starts into the bootloader (fastboot is turned off in the settings)
and then I'm stuck, Windows can't find the phone (get a bunch of errors with unsopoorted usb device)
also adb devices and fastboot devices is not working, so i tried to execute different commands like flashing or oem unlock,
but all i get is the message<waiting on device>

Are you on S-off?
Anyway, I would do the RUU. restore your phone and try again with a good custom ROM. Did you check MD5 with the rom you download? You still can connect your phone with ADB. That mean your phone is not brick yet. : )

windows 8.1 will not work on hboot below 1.54.000 (the only 1.54 that works is from the new GPE 4.4 update).
your going to need access to a windows 7 PC long enough to update your hboot to 1.55 to be able to use fastboot with your phone again. This usually only happens while flashing a RUU not A Rom. Flashing a rom will not affect your version of hboot

You are right, i can confirm hboot 1.54.0000 - i was flashing the RUU to convert my HTC ONE toa Google Edition.
So all I need is a windows 7 or lower pc to get fastboot running again?
That's good news, I would have searched for ages.
Yeah it's frustrating I know
If you use the 1.54.000 from the 4.4 GPe update it works also

Hi,
First, I'm an idiot.
I tried to manually apply the 4.3 OTA by:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then flashed the firmware.zip from the OTA:
flash zip firmware.ota
Got a softbrick.
Tried wiping cache and data, wont boot at all.
HBoot updated to 1.55 and firmware rev appears as 3.62.401.1
I'm S-ON with locked bootloader.
Can't apply earlier RUU.
Is there any way you can think of to restore my phone without unlocking it through htcdev.com and flashing a custom recovery?
Thanks,
flash a 4.3 rom through recovery.
i guess you only flashed the firmware.zip and not the whole ota? 4.2.2 roms do not work for me with this firmware.zip
edit: didn't see your locked. i guess there's no way then.

1- Question: why did you manually flash the OTA, if you're still locked and on stock??????????
2- after "fastboot oem rebootRUU", did "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" TWICE?? you know that usually the first time it reports as "FAILED, push image again immediately" (or something like that).

Hi,
1. It's already established I am an IDIOT. It was even the first line of my post
2. Yes, I have flashed it twice. Stuck at black screen after boot. No ADB. Connecting to the PC shows MTP driver as showing up but failing to install.

You're not an idiot, take it easy but maybe next time do some more reading before doing something you're not comfortable with.
At least you flashed it twice, so good chance it updated the firmware correctly, but which version of
1- Windows are you on? (hopefully Win 7)
2- and HTC Drivers? (latest are "HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe" AFAIK)
3- you on stock or custom recovery?
3b-- if stock, is the OTA file still on your phone?
4- do you have an OTG cable?

Thanks for your help.
Im running Win7 with latest HTC drivers, stock recovery. I bit the bullet and unlocked the bootloader.
The OTA file is not on the phone, but I have an OTG cable.
Fastboot and ADB are installed and working.
P.S.
I have the decrypted 1.29.401.16 zip available.
Tried flashing the zip to the phone, got an error.
Thanks again,

OK so fastboot and adb are working :good::good:
Now let's slow down a bit, and let us what your goal is. (ie what ROM do you want to run, ROOT, and anything else of importance).

Obviously there is no ADB since the ROM doesnt boot, but fastboot works fine.
For now, I would like to get back to stock 4.2.2 (2.24.401.8) or even 4.3 (3.62.401.1) if possible.
The MID is PN0710000 and CID is HTC__102

IMHO, if you are comfortably doing it
get http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
then use http://rumrunner.us/ to get s-off (there's a package for 3.62.401.1), then use a full RUU (exe) to go back to stock and get the OTAs.
Thanks, That's exactly what im doing.

Any updates mate?
Sorry, ofcourse.
Flashed Guru Reset boots and works fine.
I didnt manage to S-OFF tho.
Followed all instructions except disabling lockscreen which is impossible with this fw.
Win7 x64 SP1. Firewall and AV disabled.
Stuck with the error message: "FATAL: F**k it" after the second boot into bootloader (test3).
Basically the ROM should be stock and no real reason to re-flash stock via RUU, but it seems somewhat less smooth than 4.2.2, and I have a FC from TuneIn Radio the moment I plug it into the original car dock.
So I thought id start again fresh.
I suppose I'll flash a different Sense based ROM and try to S-OFF again.

You'll have to be on a ROM that's compatible with your firmware version (which is now 3.6xxxx). Here are a few things to check
1- Are you on Win7, it could work on Win 8 maybe 8.1 but only haphazardly
2- Did you update drivers to "HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe"
3- uninstalled HTC Sync
3- did you update adb sdk to latest
4- disable antivirus & firewall & windows defender, etc.
5- on the phone:
----- disable any lockscreen password, pin, etc (so the password or pin or face recognition, not the actual lockscreen)
----- enable USB debugging
----- disable SETTINGS -> POWER -> Fast boot
copy/paste command prompt of rummrunner for us to see

Let me be honest, I have never tried (at least not yet ) rumrunner (I got S-Off with revone), but I did go through rumrunner thread, and the only two things I can think of, seeing your output:
Code:
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
FATAL: **** it
that would be caused by the fastboot.exe (maybe the latest version is not the best )
Code:
...................
that's usually caused by a firewall or something else interfering with the internet connection.
I can't remember where I got the drivers from, but uploaded them for you:
HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe 15.1 MB
https://mega.co.nz/#!TAcGAJ7L!YdWM4AIji95b1ow8kVgagggOx5Yh7csRN5G0KJaCo6w
or you could, uninstall HTC xxxxxx, then download and install the latest HTC Sync Manager (from HTC web site), and then just uninstall the sync manager and keep drivers.
If all that doesn't work, I would give the Ubuntu Live CD/USB a try.

As I've seen rumrunner has it's own fastboot.exe so I doubt it's that. There's also no firewall or anything, fastboot and adb work just fine on their own.
I've also S-OFF using revone, but later the emmc chip died, so I sent it for repair. Got it back with 1.54 hboot.
I'll give the Live CD a try later when I get the chance.
So, I unlocked my One, got the S-OFF (HBOOT 1.55), when I was pushing the zip file containing the stock GE ROM, it got stuck on "waiting for device". I've tried uninstalling the drives, and installing them again, but its not working. I can turn on the phone fine, but the Recovery is the Google Bootloader and I can;t seem to find a way to go back to the original HTC Bootloader since it wont let me push files while in the bootloader...
What can I do!?

If you've still got s-off and can use fastboot, you could just change your CID and install a GE ruu.

I do have the S-OFF, however, once I enter the Fastboot menu, Windows wont recognize the device and wont let me push anything. It gets stuck in "Waiting for device". Ive installed the latest Google USB Device drivers using the SDK Manager and nothing has changed. :crying:
Try a different USB cable, or port, or a different computer..

If Windows PC can see phone in normal working state ( like MTP device / Android ADB / USB disk ect ... ) mean - you no need to worry - HW is OK, then try to use a small free tool called DeviceRemover and just clean unneeded ( wrong / old / damaged / ect.. ) FastBoot driver(s) from your system and then try again to connect phone in fastboot mode. Hint - use last tab "Display Mode" to select "Hidden / Deattached" devices - these that not work for you.

You'll have to use a different computer, one running a pre windows 8.1 os.
Windows 8.1 only recognises fastboot for 1.55 or greater bootloaders at the moment.
I had the same situation and had to re-install windows 8 which was a bit drastic but solved this problem
If you're having trouble with the connection in Windows 8.1 like that your Phone does not get recognised, easiest solution get a Linux Live ISO on a USB stick.
Get Universal USB Installer from here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
Let it Download a UBUNTU Live ISO
Let the Programm install it on your USB stick and set the Persistent File Size to your liking
Boot from the stick
Open Terminal Window
Install "adb" and "fastboot" with .... sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Connect the Phone and check if the Phone is recognised (fastboot devices or adb devices)
Do the update
Well, it was a driver issue. I did everything using the Mac OS X partition of my MacBook (for some odd reason I thought all this process was "exclusive" to Windows due to the exes and whatnot, but I was wrong). Now I am running the Stock Google Play Edition on my phone with no issues.
Hi Guys,
So I have successfully S-OFF'd my device using rumrunner, and I was then using the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 in order to flash my device to a Google Play Edition device.
It worked fine for the commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-3.06.1700.10-rooted.zip
and then I got the expected error message. I then entered the same command again as instructed, but this time I got the message "waiting for device" which didn't go away.
I've tried rebooting my phone a few times, and I can no longer get any fastboot.exe commands to work, I just continuously get the "waiting for device"message. adb.exe still works correctly, so after rebooting my phone I can use adb to boot into fastboot (I know that's not the only way, I'm just saying it to demonstrate that adb appears to be fine) but after that no fastboot.exe commands work anymore.
My phone is running Software version 3.62.401.1. My Hboot I was very sure used to be 1.55 but now after that failed "fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_GE-3.06.1700.10-rooted.zip" it now shows as HBOOT 1.54.
Thanks guys, any help would be immensely appreciated.
Try another computer? Also perhaps a different fast boot package?
Does the device show up in device manager when it boots in fastboot?

Trying another fast boot package didn't work, but a different computer did. Now I'm all set and ready to go thanks!
Just for the record, on the first computer my phone no longer showed up when I put in fastboot devices. I guess for some strange reason there's now a problem with the drivers on the first computer? I thought perhaps reinstalling HTC Sync would help that apparently not.
Anyways, that problem is solved until I want to do this again and want to use the first computer again.
Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.
Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

great your about done ...your phone will be android 4.3 when it finishes
don't take any updates to the OS
cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!
Really, thanks so much clsA! You made me a very happy person! :victory:

So i was trying to get my at&t htc one back to 100% stock so i could send it in for warranty. I got my replacement htc one, but while in the process of going back to stock something happened the phone wont load into recovery, when it boots into the os it stays at the htc screen but plays the at&t boot animation sound, and to top it off the old phone wont connect properly through usb (the new one will just fine). So i am stuck in bootloader anyone have any ideas?

I don't know what you mean by I pushed the FUU and flashed it. do you mean you flashed firmware?
If you flashed a custom hboot with no red text you will brick the phone when you lock the bootloader.
Don't lock bootloader !!
Use this tool to remove Tampered and set to Locked

MD5: fdb8264a8f4741bae22939cd7734f7c2
at this point just flash the AT&T RUU
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
and see where your at.
From the Guide you linked
Before you can proceed with the 2 following threads for removing Tampered and then Locking you need to have Superuser installed. There are links to how to do this in each thread. You can also use this toolkit. Just remember to delete the SuperUser and busybox apk if installed before you return the phone.
2. - First remove the Tampered Flag. Instructions are in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3. - Second Lock the bootloader. Instructions are in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
The older REVONE commands/instructions for Tampered and Locking:
Now since you had to install SuperUser to perform the previous 2 steps make sure you unroot by deleting the Superuser.apk and busybox.apk (If installed) from the /system/app folder and also the su binary from /system/xbin on your phone.
If you ran a RUU your systems firmware and software is all reset back to stock. If you restored via Stock ROM reset or Nandroid you should be running the stock software but it could be on non stock (version mismatch) firmware.
In either case your bootloader should display Locked and no Tampered just like out of the box. Now all that’s left is to S-On. To do that issue this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Done - device should be just like it was out of the box with no indication of any modding.
*******I am not responsible for any problems you encounter. I am simply informing you of what is needed to complete a restoration to Stock. Read all steps and commands carefully and perform them in the correct order.********

are they both windows 8 computers ?
Windows 8.1 and hboot 1.44 don't get along
you'll have to use a driver hack to get it working
Both windows 8.1 like i said the weird part is one phone works perfect through usb the old one (the one i need to work) doesn't

yeah .. here's the driver hack to make it work
Download
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

It Works I been using it for over a year
Ok thank you very much i will try this when i get home from work tomorrow and hopefully its works for me then i can just follow the guide you posted to get back to stock then all will be good
im still getting the same issue with the drivers i made sure to manually install the files but still no luck.
Have you tried a Linux live boot disc? If you have troubles with Windows drivers, always fall back to Linux as it will always work if the device isn't faulty.

all you have to do is install the driver I linked reboot the pc
put the phone is fastboot USB mode and plug it into the pc.
if it's still not visible with fastboot devices
go to device manager find the failed driver / Unknown device
choose update driver / Browse for Driver / Let me Pick / uncheck show compatible hardware
Choose HTC on the left and My HTC Version 2.0.7.22 on the Right. ...Click next / click done ..

Manual system update instructions:
If you are outside of T-Mobile/Wi-Fi coverage, or the update is not found, you may perform a manual system update. This process requires that you download and install HTC Sync Manager first in order to get the proper drivers. If you do not have HTC Sync Manager installed already, you may download the software from http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/.
WARNING: Performing the system update manually will delete all information from the device. Ensure all information is backed up before proceeding. See the Help & How To section of this website for more information on backing up your device contents.
Performing the ROM Update:
1. Download and save the HTC One™ for T-Mobile ROM update to your PC.
2. Connect your device to your PC via the supplied USB cable.
3. If the device is not recognized by the PC, ensure you have HTC Sync Manager installed and then disconnect and reconnect the device from the USB cable.
4. Once the device is properly recognized on the PC, locate the HTC One™ for T-Mobile ROM Update that you downloaded. Double-click on the file to launch the system update wizard.
5. Follow all of the system update wizard instructions shown on your PC.
6. Once the update is complete, click Finish in the Wizard and the device will reboot.
7. Once the device reboots, the initial setup wizard will appear.
8. Once the initial setup process is complete, the device is ready for use.
Note: If the ROM update wizard fails to recognize the device, close the wizard and then follow the steps below:
· From a powered off state, hold VOLUME DOWN while powering on the device.
· Use the volume buttons to scroll to FASTBOOT and then press the POWER button to select it.
· Connect the device to the PC while in this state and attempt the ROM update again.
To exit FASTBOOT manually, use the volume keys to navigate to REBOOT and press the POWER button to select it.
