Okay, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but long story short:
I flashed a rom and instead of getting a new rom on my phone, the phone rebooted into fastboot. I tried to enter recovery... no dice. Somhow my recovery uninstalled itself. So now I'm stuck with a phone with no rom installed, and no recovery installed. Frustration.
First step would be to reinstall recovery right? But when attempting to use fastboot flash command, i get stuck at <waiting for device>. I have the htc phone driver installed, and it's recognizing the phone is plugged into the pc in device manager. The phone screen even says FASTBOOT USB. I have no idea why it's not flashing. The recovery i'm trying to flash is twrp, the latest sprint build. It's the same one I had before it somehow uninstalled itself.
Please help out guys?
Thanks.
What phone?

Sorry for not making this clear earlier: the phone is the HTC One, Sprint. Just the regular one.
I'm really in a bind in here. Right now I have no recovery or rom to work with, and the only rom on my phone is the one that caused all this mess. I'm going to have to sideload a rom, but right now I need to get twrp on there. For some reason, it still won't get on, i'm still stuck at <waiting for device>. The phone is coming up on device manager as "My htc", so it's definitely plugged into the computer correctly. I have no idea what's going on.
Smells like bad usb drivers.
What does this command say:
fastboot devices
The result should be your device id. It not, your usb drivers are not working.
If it does work, I would RUU back to stock. Look at the faq page for links.

The command doesn't return anything. I guess this means my drivers aren't working. This doesn't make any sense though (pun intended): the phone is being recognized in device manager under "Android USB Devices" as "My HTC" via HTC's drivers that come with htc sync. I already downloaded htc sync and uninstalled it, keeping the driver files. This is really wierd stuff, any idea on how to get the drivers working? I'm sure if I could just get a recovery on there, resolving the issue wouldn't be too difficult via adb. Thanks.
Sounds like you are running Win 8.1.
Your phone won't be recognized if your hboot is 1.44

I am running 8.1, but my hboot is 1.55.
There it's a specific question in this in the faq page, particularly 8.1 and usb. Did you look at that?

Did you install HTC sync? You need it for the proper drivers
Fixed! ...halfway
Alright guys, I flashed a recovery.
I actually started off with HTC's drivers, but they were causing the issue.
Thankfully the information the thread tdhite posted had a link to a working driver.
Thanks everyone! Now I need to sideload a rom.
I have tried to flash a rom (Android Revolution HD 53.0) for my One. And after I finished flashing, it asked me if I would like to fix root. I pressed yes.
Then the phone go stuck between the boot screen and the recovery screen. It cannot enter the recovery mode (It got a flash of the clockworkmod, but it seems likes some error occurs). And now, I put my phone into Fastboot mode and plug it to my computer. The phone has turned "FASTBOOT USB" but when a use a fastboot command, it says "waiting for device" for a century...
And when my open up the "device manager" on my computer, it can recongnize "my HTC" but it's marked as an unrecongnized device.
I'm using Windows 8.1 on the Lenovo y510p, I think the Win 8.1 is the problem causing this...
I have tried to install the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver as mentioned here, but my USB then goes out of function.
Also, the fastboot won't work even though I manually install the HTC Driver from the device manager.
I have got HTC Sync, ADB and fastboot all installed on the computer. Still got no luck.
Anyway to solve this?

What is your bootloader version? What recovery are you using and what version?
in the meantime I suggest you to use Windows 7 or boot a live ubuntu 12.04 32 bits version cd or bootable flash drive and use fastboot from there.

Your Phone is broken send it to HTC or take it to a repair shop
ok, first off i am sorry to bother with this but i have ****ed up some how -.- i have had my HTC one rootet for a long time now. before this galaxy s3-4 and so on but this is the first time i havent found out how to fix by searching.
ok to start off. i got my phone back to stock using RUU methode. and upgraded it from 4.2.2(had it there for some time ) to 4.4.2 and everything went fine. untill i turned off the phone to unlock and root again. i got it unlocked, and tried to go into recovery just to see if twrp was still there. but here i get the red triange with "!" upside down. so i get the phone out off this screen and turns it on again. i think it is the recovery so i just boot it into fastboot and conect to the computer to install new recovery. but now i got more problems. the htc do not show up when it is in bootloader. i get it when i type "fastboot devices" in cmd but nothing in computer folder or anywhere where i can access it. i have tried uninstalling HTC sync, uninstall drivers, reboot computer, reset phone, install everything, and diffrent usb cables. also in device manager it shows with name My HTC and with the icon off a network.
but i do not know what more i can o now to get this fixed.
all help will be much appriciated

can you check FAQ #2 in my guide if that's the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
Hi guys,
I'm having a really strange issue. I wanted to update my M7 to firmware 7.15.401.1
So before rebooting into RUU mode, I always check my getvar all to ensure that everything is working. However, today, when I got into RUU mode, fastboot wasn't working. It was working in bootloader mode, but not in RUU. I got the 'Windows didn't recognize the connected device' or something like that. And, when I typed 'fastboot reboot' it was 'waiting for devices'.
My PC is on Windows 8.1 with the latest Sync Manager, my M7 is S-OFF, unlocked bootloader and TWRP 2.8.4.0. There's no issue with the working of the phone; its rocking MaximusHD perfectly. But this issue prevents me from updating my firmware or going back to stock if I need to.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The issue is the driver, I had the same problem recently, when you plug your phone into the computer and put your phone into ruu mode or recovery, have a look in Windows device manager, it will probably say "one" with a yellow exclamation mark next to it, you need to force the driver, so right click on it, select update driver, the when given 2 options, choose Browse my computer for driver, next select android devices from the list it gives you, and then choose your latest myhtc driver, should be at the top of the list of available drivers, it will give you a warning about the driver might be wrong are you sure you want to install it, just say yes, done, problem solved.

Alright. Ill try it later. Thanks a lot mate
I did a lot of googling before opening this thread. No matter what I do I cant make my PC recognize my HTC One. I downloaded UniversalAdbDriver, HTC Sync, the HTC One drivers, everything and I keep getting the same error.
This is what the device manager looks like when im on fastboot mode with my phone plugged in:

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
edit: Forgot to mention; the mention reaason im trying to do this is, is to debrick this HTC One that doesnt even have any rom installed. If I manage to fix the fastboot issue should I follow this tutorial next? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
