freeze in start - impossible to push a new ROM

Hello
I have update my HTC One (europe) into 4.2.2 recently.
I have unlocked the bootloader, installed a recovery (ClockWorkMod Touch 6), and root the device.
But after wanted to install a module founded on the net, I blocked the device (without any save obviously), and the device starts but freeze on the screen of HTC logo.
I always have access to the bootloader (and to fastboot) and to recovery CM6.
To reinstall ROM, I found several solutions on the web but none of theses worked :
- I tried to install a RUU ROM and relocked my bootloader before => impossible, error 140 because it considers that my bootloader does not have the good version. Indeed the RUU availables on the web are only 4.1 and apparently the downgrade is not authorized.
- I tried to inject a custom ROM via ADB sideload but there were a new issue : my device is not recognized! DEVICE NOT FOUND. The fastboot command works well, the HTC is detected, but not the ADB command, which is the only one enabling me to copy a custom ROM in the internal memory of the device (I reinstalled the drivers several times obviously).
I dont know what to do anymore, I feel that the device can be saved because I have access to the bootloader, fastboot and recovery.
But I do not see which other method to use to finally be able to replace the exsiting ROM by a new clean ROM
Thank you very much of your assistance.

You need to be in recovery and sideload mode when using the adb command. I'm not sure about CWM but on TWRP sideload mode is located under advanced options.

If you re-locked your bootloader when trying to run the RUU, you will have to go to htcdev again and get a new token and unlock the bootloader again before you will be able to flash anything in recovery.
Thats maybe why you can't sideload in adb.
Also you have the phone device drivers installed on your PC right?
Could also try sideloading and other troubleshooting by using a toolkit:

rename the ROM from its original name to "ROM.zip" without the quotes, and then try again ADB
if it didnt work inject TWRP, and copy the ROM to a USB Stick and using a USB OTG ($1) mount the USB Stick in TWRP and install the ROM
it worked %100 for me

[Q] (Q) please me to unbrick my htc one?

hey,
I'm a newbie over here! but i do know basic flashing of ROMS and recoveries and zips. I have a htc one 801e. and i think i bricked my phone. i was running android revolution HD 12.0 (4.2.2 ROM). i successfully unlocked my bootloader, rooted it, and flashed the latest CWM Touch recovery and even achieved s-off and Super CID through revone. i also have set up the ADB on my mac. (I am a MAC USER btw). I was having alotta GPS problem lately and so i decided to wipe my data, relock and re-root. (as i tried everything possible with the GPS problem, but to factory reset to stock RUU and re-root the device once again.) but sadly, in the process, I wiped off all the partitions, even the system partition. I tried rebooting many times but i cannot go past the Boot animation. obviously cus i wiped everything. i dont have anything on the sd card as well. I am just left with a bootloader now. (relocked bootloader. i tried fastboot and adb commands and mistakenly relocked it.) and a CWM touch recovery. i cannot access the storage on my phone. please someone help me? what can I do now to unbrick it? im on a mac! please? any help would be appreciated! :crying:

[Q] Only boots to bootloader or recovery, no fastboot

Hi guys. I recently flashed a boot image via the Flashify app, which had worked in the past. After it flashed, I chose to reboot. Now my phone boots to the bootloader. I can't get fastboot to recognize my device on any PC (which is why I was trying another hboot). I can boot into recovery (cwm touch for now) but restoring roms etc. fails due to "no files found". ADB detects the phone in recovery. Can I repair my phone via adb without fastboot? I had a recent cwm and titanium backup on my sd card.

are those computers all windows 8? There some issue with windows 8 and fastboot. better to use 7, linux or mac.
you can restore a backup or install a rom using adb, no need to use fastboot (except for recovery, RUU and firmware flashing)
you can transfer a rom to your sdcard using adb from custom recovery:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
I recommend you to use twrp 2.6.3.3 instead of cwm (required for arhd rom i.e) when you get fastboot working again.

I am stuck in the same boat - I can't use fastboot., but I need it to flash a new recovery before updating to cm11. I don't have access to any Win7 computers to use, only have Win8.1. Are there updated drivers for the HTC One yet? Or any way to get fastboot working properly on Win8.1?

windows 8.1 doesnt work with early hboot version like 1.44 and if irc 1.54.
if you can't access another computer, use a live cd of ubuntu 12.04 32bit (no installation required, only boot from the disc or from a bootalb usb drive) and use fastboot from there.

So is it possible to upgrade my hboot to 1.55 (currently 1.54)?
EDIT: Ok, actually, examining things, it looks like this should work:
a) Go to Ubuntu for fastboot, flash new recovery
b) Back to windows, into recovery, wipe everything, push ROM over using adb, clean install of cm11
c) new cm ROM will include updated hboot so fastboot will now work in Win8.1
....that seem logical/like it should work to you? Thanks

yes except c)
a rom doesn't update firmware so hboot will not be updated by flashing a custom rom. If you want to update hboot you must do it via an ota update, a complete ruu install (higher version) or manually flashing the firmware using fastboot. with s-on, you must use signed firmware only (the correct version for your device) and you bootloader must be locked or re-locked to flash it (s-on)

Wow, ok, I think that sounds like far too much effort to just update my phone. Guess I'll use the ubuntu fastboot trick once, then just hope I never need to flash anything from fastboot again on this phone. Why is it always such an effort with these damn things? Thanks for the help, won't have a chance to try this for a couple of days but doubtless I'll be back with some other failed horror scenario then.

Yeah, that's pretty much the extent of what I knew, but I really appreciate your response. I did manage to get my old Win7 laptop running and with some effort got all the drivers working. I used htc1guru reset, but sadly I did lose the entire contents of my SD, despite its message that nothing would be touched. :-/ Luckily, most photos were auto-backed up by G+ and it's just a few settings and such that I can't get back or figure out. Least of my concerns after having a functional phone!

Hey, so I'm trying to do this, have got linux up and running and fastboot recognizes the phone, but I couldn't flash the recovery image as the terminal couldn't see it. What location does it need to be in within linux? I put it on the root of the usb drive and it wouldn't work from there...

the answer is always the same, in the same folder you have adb in.
so in ubuntu it should be androidsdk/platform-tools/

phone wont boot

im not really sure what happened...
i was trying to root then s-off today. i got htcdev.com unlocked, was able to flash custom recovery (philz) and flash superuser. when i tried to s-off (firewater) i got the whelp this sucks error (im still not really sure why or what that means)
i tried to then flash a custom rom, and now it wont boot past the htc flash screen with the red text ( this may be because i didnt flash firmware with the rom i tried to install?)
i have tried to flash firmware, and run a ruu and nothing is doing anything...
please please please someone help

What firmware version do you currently have installed? What ROM were you trying to flash?
Take a look at this thread below for info on how to flash the latest RUU. If you have a HK version you'll need the HK RUU. After you run the RUU you'll need to reroot your phone. You'll also need to use the SunShine exploit to gain S-off (the "whelp" message means Firewater won't work on your device). I also recommend Captain Throwback's TWRP 2.8.0.0. recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2880328

im not sure which of these are the firmware...
hboot - 3.16.0.0000
radio - 1.05.20.0321_2
os - 1.54.654.9

Firmware is your radio version. Use the RUU from the link below. Follow the instructions for the manual system update. You'll need to relock your bootloader beforehand using the command "fastboot oem lock" while connected via Fastboot USB mode.

ohh i forgot about having to relock for ruu
trying that now

I downloaded the ruu, but when I run it it can't find my phone... I think it wants me to be booted into the ROM but I can't boot the only thing I can access is the bootloader

RUU's are run from the bootloader...make sure it says fastbootusb when connected to your PC.

it did say that

Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your computer.

I have that installed too... I got it to boot, ended up flashing different recovery then a different rom and that worked... Never got the ruu to work tho... Anyway, thanks for your help

Help! Htc one M7 softbricked (Sprint)

Hey, I'm sorta new at this rooting and unlocking bootloader stuff. I had successfully unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One Sprint and was trying to get root access.
I had just flashed the newest version of TWRP for my device. Once I had gave up trying to root the HTC I reboot the phone and... its stuck on the htc one m7 beats audio splash screen. I tried using RUU, but I have Lollipop, so it couldn't install a newer version. I tried using the fastboot flash zip firmware.zip method but I keep getting an "unknown directory" error. then lastly I tried to use adb to push the .zip but the pc wouldn't recognize my phone. Note that it DOES recognize my phone in fastboot mode. Help is needed and appreciated!!!
EDIT: Nevermind! I was using the wrong RUU, I needed to use the latest one. Everything is now up and running!
