HELP - Bricked my HTC One (Sprint) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not even sure where to begin. I've been flashing Rom's on multiple devices for a few years now, and have never had an issue until yesterday. I was running the latest stock 3.04.652.2 (sprint) but was rooted and used a few rooted apps. Everything was fine, but then I decided it was time to try a few new roms as I was getting tired of this one. I flashed CM11, and tried to put 4.4 on there.
I should mention that I was using TWRP for everything, except when I tried to load CM11, it said I needed to use the clockword mod recovery, so I did, and didnt' have any issues. It loaded without a hiccup. I didn't fell in love with this rom, so I tried to flash another. I had thought I successfully made a backup and stored it on my computer, but somehow, it didn't save correctly, and is useless.
I got to the point where I downloaded two Roms on the phone. I was going to try one more, Skydragon 4.0, and then a stock version of the Sprint HTC one zip. While trying to flash the skydragon, it went into the correct mode and began the series of questions prior to the flash, and then, about halfway through, there was an error message about syms issue? I can't remember what the exact wording was. I googled around, and was told that if I wiped the kalvic drive, it would solve the issue. I accidentally wiped everything.
So here I am. Stuck on the bootload screen. I've got a white background...it looks like I'm in recovery, however, there is nothing to recover. I can't even factory reset, because there is nothing on here. It won't load anything. I've tried following every Youtube video, and read through every forum I can find. Nothing works. I've tried downloading every stock rom I can find from Sprint, but I can't get any of the zip drives to open to get to the .image file. So here is what I'm working with...
Tampered
Unlocked
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.33.0000
RADIO - 1.00.20.274.0202
OpenDSPv26.120.16:30:08:-1
eMMC-boot

Fastboot (which I can change to fastboot usb)
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot bootloader
Power Down
When I try to connect the usb to the phone, nothing happens, it sounds like it recognizes it, but then get an error message stating that the USB is not recognized. None of the other options do me any good. Reboot, power down, etc ,all take me right back to this screen. I've got all of the developer sdk tools and was going to try to manually put them back on, but can't even do any of it because I can't get the ROM to work.
Do I have any options? Or, am I better at this point to just drop it in the toilet, and shell out the money for the insurance claim to get a phone? I thought about taking it to the Sprint store down the street, and just asking for a Christmas miracle, but I"m not sure how much trouble it will get me in...
Please help! I can't go through Christmas without a phone.

did you try to make " fastboot erase cahe(s)" ? it may solve the problem.
or you should flash another recovery that support your rom!

I can't even get it to connect to the usb on the computer. It say the usb drive doesn't work. My only options are what's available on the screen. Anything I do reboots me to the recovery screen. There is no way to re-load anything on it. I think I'm screwed. I might try to take it back to sprint and see what they say. Even though it says tampered on the top...the S is set to ON, so maybe that will save me?

Try another computer or just reinstall latest drivers ..if u can get into bootloader ..connect to computer via usb ..u will see FASTBOOT USB ..then go into adb folder ..open cmd ..write fastboot erase cache ..this might help

Hold "Shift" + right click at empty area then open "open command window here"
Its better to use another windows instead of W8, Its need special drivers I think

Ok...got into the cmd prompts...keep getting : fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command.
the phone won't even connect to the pc. says the usb is not recognized...even when it's on fastboot usb
At this point, I'm so frustrated, I'm going to try to take it to a sprint store...if they tell me I'm screwed, I'll come home, and accidentally drop it in the sink, and then file the insurance. Don't know what else to do...

Its better to use another windows instead of W8, Its need special drivers ..
I face same problem with Win. 8
You are in safe side don't worry
I think u need only to fastboot erase caches

When you say safe side, do you think I'll get in trouble at the Sprint store? It does say tampered, and unlocked, but the S is on. I'm just going to go with "my brother in law came over last night for the holidays and started messing with my phone. This morning, when I woke up, this is all I can get to." Nothing loads. I'm hoping they will fix it. Otherwise, I'm out $150 for the insurance.
I don't have a win 7 computer, otherwise I would try. This sucks.

Why are you posting in the GSM One forums ?
Sprint HTC one is totally different than these.
If you have flashed a GSM Rom to your Sprint phone your going to have to RUU back to stock to get your partitions repaired.
if fastboot is not working on your windows 8.1 PC it means you hboot is older than 1.55.000 .... try this RUU with your phone in the bootloader screen
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_335355_signed_2.exe
Edit: your going to need to use fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader
to accomplish this I suggest an Ubuntu boot CD

I got a similar problem a few days ago, and this is how i solved it. First make sure you have TWRP installed, while in recovery, push the rom into your phone memory. Then go to your phone and click install. Good luck!

I can help, first I need to know which HTC One you have, what carrier.
Once youve found out which carrier head over to the sticky with all the stock RUUs and download the one for your phone and carrier (if youre soff then just download anyone) then hold power and vol down to get into bootloader, press fastboot. Plug in your phone and dont touch it... Open up command prompt (assuming youre on windows) and go to your fastboot location... Type in "fastboot oem lock" wait for it to relock youe bootloader... Then type "fastboot rebootRUU" then wait til your phone shows a different screen, the RUU one. Now open up the RUU .exe and run it. Your phone will now be at stock.
That should work if you have fastboot working.

I don't suppose you could do the same for me?, I'm in exactly the same boat, Factory unlocked HTC One, can only get into bootloader and TWRP, no OS installed, can't get mass storage or HTC MTP drivers installed so not way to get a new OS on...... I'm an idiot., If anyone can help I would appreciate., tried the steps in post 2 but command prompt just says waiting for device.
Sorry for the thread hijack, its just that its virtually exactly the same as whats happened to me.

[Q] OTA updated on rooted phone

Hi, I have a rooted HTC One running the Google Play Edition ROM (first rooted device) but I stupidly hit the 4.3 OTA update when I got the notification. Apparently this is a big no-no, but I didn't know any better and now my phone can't get past HTC's splash screen. I can still enter bootloader and recovery (CWM 6.0.3.2) but that's about it.
I don't have a ROM on the internal memory, so can't just revert to the previous 4.2.2 and because I can't enter the phone's settings to turn on USB Debugging. The phone does not show up in Windows Explorer, nor in 'adb devices' when I do the usual thing on Command Prompt. The phone shows up in Device Manager under Android USB Devices as 'My HTC' but again, no device will appear in Command Prompt, otherwise I'd adb push a new ROM onto the phone.
I've tried clearing cache, dalvik and so on with zero luck. It's causing me all sorts of grief and I've been pulling out my hair since yesterday. I've heard that an OTG micro-USB cable might help by loading a ROM onto a flash card, but I'm looking at a few days delivery (at least) and would like to get this problem sorted ASAP. If you can help, I'll name my firstborn after you.

I think an RUU for your carrier will do the trick. There are a lot of RUU's posted in the HTC One forums in the various sections, search and find the one for your phone/carrier. Pretty sure that will do the trick!

Hi, I've read up on this option but apparently it unroots my phone and basically returns it to factory settings. This will be my last choice. Thankfully all my photos from a recent trip have been backed up to Dropbox/Drive, but I'd need to root again and jump through all the hoops. I simply want a way to get a new ROM onto the phone to flash it, but neither of my computers are recognising the phone in recovery, with USB debugging off.

Dude, have you a phone that won't get past the splash screen, and you're worried about losing data? If you could get a computer to see the phone, you could push a rom to it in ADB and then sideload it in recovery. If you can't, I think you're left with an RUU I'm afraid.

You can just root/unlock/s-off it after, you've come this far already so you should be familiar with the short process

Cheers for the info guys. I think I'll wait till Monday to buy an OTG cable, fingers crossed this will work. In hindsight, I should have kept some ROM on the phone memory or left debugging on. At least now I'll know not to do an OTA update on a rooted phone.

if u dont have anything nice or helpful to say then shouldnt u just shhh? u took the time to say nothing ,im sure that is what everyone cares to read ?
im going to use this to help other noobs like myself that gets courageous enough to try rooting , customer roms unlocking etc. seems easy to the tech guys but some of the lingo is not so easy and u can make one bad move , i hope i didnt
at any rate here is where im at , i did get twrp setup in fastboot mode so all i have is fastboot mode to do anything atm ,, it appears like i said i somehow wiped my whole operating system , how i dont know but i have one more thing i think from the help of others may work and that is use a micro usb otg cable to hopefully flash the rom back on the phone , wish me luck , unfortunately im not sure locally where to buy one , i will go look this evening , but in the meantime i did order one for a couple of bucks on ebay just in case i couldnt find one locally , i will update
anymore input would be thankful and helpful

why cant you hook it up to a computer? i see that your getting fastboot and TWRP? if you can get either you should be able to sideload from the computer what you need to boot up again.
if you only have fastboot. then load TWRP via fastboot and then from TWRP, use sideload/command prompt to pump a rom on and then voila you should be good. if you already have TWRP just start from there..

I dont know where yo are currently at but if you recieved your phone back with kitkat that means your bootloader was upgraded. Your phone will not boot unless you either flash a 4.3 kernel or you flash a kitkat ROM. Let me know if this info helps

after your sideloading the rom onto the phone is it running and are you going through the installation? if you are and its still not loading properly then you may have a corrupted SD. you can try running a RUU. i think you have an ATT phone? if your S-OFF you can try this file ATT Android 4.3 RUU EXE file
that is the full RUU. it should ask you to start in a fully booted mode. just go ahead and start in Fastboot. when you press start it just sends the command to restart phone into fastboot so you can inject from there. i might be able to find something else for you but for now try this(assuming your s-off XD)

[Q] Stuck in Fastboot and can only access hard reset which goes back to fastboot

Hello,
I know there are a ton of "stuck in fastboot" threads but I've spent hours going through them and none of them seem to be what's happening to me. Or maybe all of them combined would... anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help as I'm at my witt's end. I've even somehow managed to screw up a dual boot of Ubuntu on my windows machine, but that's something I'll fix for myself later
Anyway, here's all the info I can think of and what I have done so far.
A month or two I rooted my phone. I never flashed a custom rom or anything. I altered a couple settings but that's it. My phone has worked perfectly this entire time.
Yesterday there was an OTA. I didn't even intend to accept it, I just got the notification and then my phone shut off and went to fastboot. That's pretty much where I've been ever since.
Rebooting gets me to fastboot. Attempting recovery mode gets me to the hard reset screen but not recovery. Trying to hard reset just goes back to fastboot. Download mode does not come up.
Windows sees my phone but disables it because of an error. Attempting to reinstall drivers does nothing. Ubuntu doesn't acknowledge that the phone is there under the regular terminal. If I run the fastboot tool it wont list it but it will respond to a couple commands. I can reboot... into fastboot. Anything else gets the "waiting for device" notification. My device just says "processing commands" but nothing happens.
So that's where I'm at right now. That's the condensed version of the last 18 hours but I think it contains most of the relavent information. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. I'm lucky to have this phone and I would be very upset if I lost it.
Thank you.

Hello,
I know there are a ton of "stuck in fastboot" threads but I've spent hours going through them and none of them seem to be what's happening to me. Or maybe all of them combined would... anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help as I'm at my witt's end. I've even somehow managed to screw up a dual boot of Ubuntu on my windows machine, but that's something I'll fix for myself later
Anyway, here's all the info I can think of and what I have done so far.
A month or two I rooted my phone. I never flashed a custom rom or anything. I altered a couple settings but that's it. My phone has worked perfectly this entire time.
Yesterday there was an OTA. I didn't even intend to accept it, I just got the notification and then my phone shut off and went to fastboot. That's pretty much where I've been ever since.
Rebooting gets me to fastboot. Attempting recovery mode gets me to the hard reset screen but not recovery. Trying to hard reset just goes back to fastboot. Download mode does not come up.
Windows sees my phone but disables it because of an error. Attempting to reinstall drivers does nothing. Ubuntu doesn't acknowledge that the phone is there under the regular terminal. If I run the fastboot tool it wont list it but it will respond to a couple commands. I can reboot... into fastboot. Anything else gets the "waiting for device" notification. My device just says "processing commands" but nothing happens.
So that's where I'm at right now. That's the condensed version of the last 18 hours but I think it contains most of the relavent information. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. I'm lucky to have this phone and I would be very upset if I lost it.
Thank you.

Ah! I never went back to that thread after installing linux. I will try that now and report back, thanks!
My pc wouldn't recognize my phone in fastboot until I installed the drivers from pdanet. It would get stuck at wating for device. Ihttp://www.androidheat.com/adb-fastboot-install-drivers-setup/
Well currently everything works until I get to the point that I type "adb devices"
I get "List of devices" and it's blank. My phone is now constantly repeating "reset, portcharge" over and over whenever it's plugged in...

Did you try and install the drivers from the link i posted? I would download pdanet for the drivers if i were you. You won't be able to fastboot the boot.img if your pc won't recognize your phone.

Not yet but I will be. I'm sorry for the delay, I got distracted with something for a bit. I'm trying to fix windows now at which point I will install the drivers you linked and try again.

No problem. I've got my phone shut off to save battery because I'm under the impression that it won't charge in fastboot and I didn't figure repeating that would be good for it. I'm still trying to restore Windows. I'm not used to being limited to a single computer but without my phone and my desktop currently in another state I'm a bit frustrated.
Anyway, I appreciate the help and will keep trying. I'll update if anything happens.

Yes. Everything in the tutorial worked perfectly... until I plugged in my phone, hahaha. I admit now that I'm doing it all in Ubuntu it's a little confusing as this is pretty new to me, but I'm pretty sure I set it up right.

That's what I'm working on now, I screwed up the dual boot and can't get back into windows. Okay. I'm just going to grab my brother's laptop and use it so I can get this done. I can fix my computer later.
I'm going to start at the beginning of the tutorial since it'll be on a different computer. We'll see how it goes.
Edit: Okay, back to windows and this is what I have going on. I've installed the drivers for my phone, set up the sdk and gone into cmd but even with the drivers Windows is telling me that it has disabled my phone because it is malfunctioning (error code 43). Therefore no matter what I do it will not acknowledge the phone or communicate with it. If I try doing anything it just hangs on "waiting for device".
FIXED!
WOOHOO!!
It's working again! I'm not sure exactly how I did it but I rebooted my computer and suddenly the phone said "processing commands" so even though it still wasn't listed as a device I ran boot.img just to see what happened and it's back up and running just like nothing ever happened.
Thank you so much!

And thank you, too! It may well have been the drivers that did it. All I know is my brother's netbook was having the exact same issue my laptop was and then suddenly it worked.

A Hot Mess, Need Help - M7, S-On, Trouble with ADB

The Whole Story:
So yesterday I successfully upgraded my HTC One M7 to Lollipop for the first time. I was very excited because the UI is awesome. However, my cellular service didn't work. I read that this is because the firmware was out of date.
In trying to update said firmware, somehow I wiped the internal storage of my device (I know...) including my backup. But that doesn't really matter that much... because while using the HTC One Toolkit I also managed to idiotically turn S-ON! So I can't get into recovery anyway...
So I've been trying to get S-Off with firewater because if I can just get into recovery I can install an older backup I have from last year and then get a new ROM and try this circus all over again in a few weeks when my brain is hopefully not dumb. And that is where I've run into trouble with adb.
In the adb console I can see my phone's serial but it always is listed as offline. In fastboot, however, it is listed fine. I have tried so so many things, but at this point I'll try and re-try anything all over again just to get this to work.
Honestly, I'm surprised this thing isn't brIcked by now with all the f--k ups I've had in the past two days.
TL; DR: I royally messed up and accidentally turned S-On. Not sure if it is related, but now adb lists my HTC as offline while fastboot seems to recognize it fine. I can also access all my files on the phone from Windows.
One thing that (I think) is an important detail is that I cannot seem to get the RSA prompt to appear when I plug my phone into Windows with debugging mode on. I have never used this computer with this phone before, so I know it isn't saved or anything (maybe it's worth clearing the RSA keys anyway?).
What I've tried so far:
-Downloaded latest drivers from HTC (2.0.7.29 from 3/3/15)
-Installed Android Studio and updated Google USB Drivers and Platform Tools
-Rebooted Computer and Phone Multiple times
-Unplugged and re plugged USB cord
-Unchecked and rechecked USB debugging
Please...Please, I desperately need people who are better at this than I am.

maybe flashing the boot.img and stock recovery of the firmware you are into will help you!

Thanks for the tip. Does flashing a boot.img and stock recovery require adb? Currently, that is where my main setback is.
If it doesn't require adb, can you point me into the direction of the right keywords to Google to find out how to do that?
