[Q] HTC One Brick?

Hi guys. Was just trying to install a 4.4 custom rom on my HTC One using CWM. I got into rrecovery mode and started trying to install the rom but it came up with an error saying it had aborted. I realised I hadn't made a backup so I thought I best do it in case anything goes wrong. I tried doing that and rebooting the phone. Now the HTC logo flashes on screen before flashing off and then the phone puts me back in recovery. Have I bricked this phone? If anyone can help me I can answer any more necessary questions.

You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and install the ROM again.

open a command prompt, go to the folder where adb is (also put the downloaded recovery there), then on your PC, type commands in bold above.

Again, rreally sorry. Where will I find ADB? Where would it typically be?
EDIT: I've downloaded minimal ADB and Fastboot and out the recovery image in there. I've tried typing in the top command but had no luck. A little more help, please? Thank you for your help so far by the way

Sorry I'm just panicking an awful lot. I'm a bit calmer now though so I'll crack on. I've got TWRP back up and I've tried to install the ROM but it keeps saying failed. Is therre any way to make my phone available to transfer to so I can try a different ROM?
EDIT: It seems I did make a backup with TWRP, I'm assuming that wouldn't show up on CWM? That seems to be working so I'll count myself lucky. I would very much like to get stock android 4.4 though so do you know of any detailed guides for getting that with TWRP on HTC one?
By the way THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. I completely panicked and I would never have figured any of this out without your help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, TWRP and CWM backups aren't interchangeable but you can always flash back the proper recovery for the backup, and restore.

[Q] Help please stuck on HTC boot screen

I've recently done the conversion to the Google Edition but since my headphone didn't work with it I wanted to go back to Stock.
Unfortunately I completely screwed up...
The current state of my phone is:
I can't boot, only end up at the white HTC logo boot screen
I can't recover my nandroid backup because CWM says "Can't mount SD card"
I can't flash the RUU I found because my firmware is too high...
I can't root / flash a different because I can't transfer any files to my phone
I can't S-off my phone because adb doesn't see it... (Using rumrunner)
I really have no idea what to do and I don't even know how I reached this point. I just flashed the Rom for stock HTC M7 JB and had multiple errors occurring decided to try flashing KitKat which didn't work and suddenly nothing worked anymore.
Does anyone have an idea of what I could try?
Thanks a lot for our help!

Thats great !!
install the HTC Sync and then uninstall it but leave the drivers
next step is boot to recovery
and from their try
adb devices
if it works
adb push this file to your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2481786&d=1388342684
adb push TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7.zip data/media/0/
make sure TWRP_2.6.3.3_m7.zip is in the same directory as adb before push
you flash that from recovery the same you do a rom .. then reboot to recovery to see it
Also note that your s-on and cannot use a kitkat rom
find ARHD 31.6 here and push it the same you did the recovery

then uninstall all your htc drives and do it again
if you know how to manually install drivers from device manager you can use these

Flash TWRP recovery and push ROM with ADB.
Reboot into TWRP.
Press mount and just choose DATA
Leave it and then push your rom file with "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/.
When its done you will get a message that files are transfered, Now flash rom

Thanks, that worked.

I originally had CWM recovery on there and wanted to use the TWRP recovery instead since it had the HTC dumblock on there, which helped out before. While my phone was in it current condition, I downloaded TWRP and flashed it into my HTC ONE. I know I must have done so wrongfully because now when I try to go into recovery... it freezes during "entering recovery" and reboots into boot loop.

from bootloader open a cmd window and type
fastboot erase cache
See if that helps

I've made that attempt already. But the strange thing is that it executes the command, but if used again it will give me a list of blocks and inods or something like that. But I will try the command and reboot the system. Ill update with the outcome.

Okay I erased the cache, it confirmed the command. I rebooted and of course it was in boot loop. I entered bootloader, then to recovery... and the same problem persisted.

You can try This see if it will get you up and running
Just make sure when you get to the part where you push to rom to your phone make sure you use a 4.4.2 rom or your phone may not boot.

What version of twrp did you flash?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

Okay so I went through and followed the steps... good news is that it fixed my recovery problem I had and now I can enter twrp. Now TWRP is telling me that I have no OS system. So if I install a ROM, will I be good?

Yeah just adb push a 4.4.2 rom to your phone

Try this to get the drivers installed properly
(If you are using Windows 8.1 this will most likely not work)
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

Not sure how adb was prior to this past week but I would agree that fastboot works great. Its the only thing that has worked or else I wouldn't have messed up my own phone.

Adb has always worked fine for me. However, in twrp there should be an option to mount, I've had to use this on my one x to load a Rom (and boot.img, since I was also s-on) onto my sd.
I flashed the Rom in twrp, reboot to bootloader then fastboot flashed the boot.img

Yeah, my adb isn't working and hasn't been working from day one. I'm sure I'm just missing the fact that I cant debug my phone because it's in boot loop. But one more step left to see if everything I've learn in the past week pays off.

[Q] So... I screwed up.

Hey guys,
This will be an interesting first post... I do have to say I apologize for making a thread regarding this, but I really feel like I'm stuck and would really benefit from some direct help. I've been searching non-stop for the last 2 days, and currently have more than 20 hours infront of my computer trying to figure out why I cannot restore this HTC One.

ROGERS CANADA NETWORK
-Currently cannot get any further than HBOOT and TWRP 2.6
-Ends up in boot loop
-Recognized on Fastboot, and device manager, but cannot access via My Computer
-Phone had a garbage ROM, and I ended up wiping my entire phone. Every single file.
-If I could somehow get an install onto it I could try to get it going through TWRP?
-I've downloaded several gigs of roms that I've tried, and cant seem to get them to work.
-Phone is essentially bricked and non-functional. There is a way to save it I think??
-ABD device not found, have SDK, fully updated drivers all around... nothing.
I just want the phone back to factory... but ROGERS RUU files are .zip and not .exe
Very difficult to figure out a solution...
Please help guys,
Sorry I could not get it on my own. New to phones but not new to computers and troubleshooting.
I'll leave this tab open and constantly check whilst I look for more answers on my issue.
Thank you!

I would try sideloading a rom through TWRP. If I remember correctly, you need the latest ADB which comes bundled with this:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I think having the latest ADB binaries may also help your PC detect your phone. Once you have that downloaded, you can sideload a rom. More info on that here:
http://teamw.in/ADBSideload

Finally got it to recognize the device on ADB
However it says unauthorized, because I assume I couldnt activate debugging.
Still cant because it's bricked!
Drivers are all up to date to the best of my knowledge
Double and triple checked?
I will try to do something through TWRP... I dont have a lot of experience with it, I know I was fighting with it for a couple hours today, trying to get through all the errors - or to detect my computer properly.
ADB Sideload Complete
Failed
Unable to mount across the board.
-Spencer
UPDATE:
Sideload seems to be working. Still getting errors for being unauthorized I think..
12:33am

Via CWM I was able to get Android Revolution HD to install, and actually went through the entire install process...
At the end it said some files were unable to be installed, and then put me back in the bootloader/cwm cycle...
I just want to get the phone stable enough to use, so that I can revert it back to stock!

Lets just say that the phone is completely non-functional.
What would be the step by step process of addressing such a problem?

Download TWRP 2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/...2.6.3.3-m7.img
Make sure you're in the bootloader go into fastboot and make sure the downloaded image is in the same folder as your fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery_stock_155hboot_htc_one_m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running <<< Important!
Phone will go out and start bootlooping. Now power off and go back to bootloader mode:
Go into fastboot
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can go into custom recovery and you should be good to proceed.

It doesn't boot because he used twrp 2.6, instead of 2.6.3.3 or didn't erase cache

Folks!
Somehow, I ended up getting the HTC Guru reset to work....
After literally 24 hours of messing with this thing.
So now I am running 4.3
and in the near future will try to completely restore back to all Rogers Canada software and update to their Kitkat OTA???
Or should I just wait a bit for someone to release one that works correctly?
Thank you for the help!

Just upgrade your TWRP, and flash the 4.4.2 rom you want

If you can Soff, then you will be able to run RUU for dev edition kitkat, or do the google edition conversion. That will give you an upgrade path in future by OTA

[Q] Stuck with a wiped internal memory

ok so I have been stock and unlocked and rooted with s-on. Decided today to flash my first Custom Rom. I have always been apprehensive
as my past devices have just seemed a lot easier to flash custom roms on and I was worried. I tried to flash Ordroid and the boot.img but was
stuck on the splash screen and just going to recovery constantly. I tried comand for wiping dalvik cache. It did nothing for me, don't know where I went wrong so far. Anyway I managed to wipe my internal storage when I was panicking. So now Im pretty much stuck in the same place I just cant flash anything because I have wiped off ordroid and my back up, or push anything to my phone. I was using a toolkit as well. Can anyone help me? Don't know why it would not boot in the first place I did a full wipe.
I know search blah blah blah but I dont want to make it any worse without some advice as to what I should be doing.
Any help appreciated thanks

Seem your using a very old guide .. we don't flash boot.img for over 8 months.
First update your recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
Next go into TWRP /Advanced / sideload
now on the PC put your rom in the same location as adb and fastboot
open command window and type
adb sideload <name of rom>.zip
at the end of sideload the rom install will begin
