[Q] Possible Brick?

Not sure if i totally hooped, hope not. Any help would be appreciated.
HTC One, Rogers, Flashed Google play edition 4.3 and tried to update 4.4 VIA on the phone, ( I know, not smart)
Don't have a recovery option
Can still use fastboot on the computer and my phone, clueless for commands and would need to be explained to like a toddler
Tampered
Unlocked
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.44 0000
Fastboot does still work thought this would be helpful..
If any one of you have a possible fix, that would be awesome.
System is wiped, all the cache cleared and whatnot.

Also, here is the getvar.. Considering i see something that says ALL FAILED, doesn't sound so good lmao http://gyazo.com/ca63015a59bb4323e423dca458987553

I read this a few times and not sure what your problem is.
What do you mean by "don't have a recovery option"?

Can you flash recovery using fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img?

Well, i forgot i did my root about 2 months ago, and totally forgot to make a recovery. Thus i have no recovery to just revert back to, which would of solved this problem in the first place

Another update, tried to flash CWM for it, and had this happen. Not sure why, any fixes? http://gyazo.com/dec69f77e68e3001930de84186532a01

Try twrp 2.6.3.0 for a change

Fixed that, now i get this
.android_secure.img not found. skipping restore of /sdcard/ .android_secure.
Restoring cache...
Restore complete
Not sure where to go from now? Literally lost as i thought that would of fixed my problem... Maybe i need a different recovery?

Tried this, WAY better than CWM. As far as recovery goes, what should i use? I don't have anything to recover to. Is there something that i could use to revert back to stock? Or even install Kit Kat? BIG THANKS AHEAD OF TIME EVERYONE

Another update, i looked through my phone storage and found the ROM that i used to for google play,but it says 'This operation may install incompatible software and render your device unusable' Should i go through with this??? I am not doing anything until i get a response to this

Boot to twrp and then run a command prompt and write
Adb push nameoftherom.zip /data/media/0/
The Rom.zip will be placed then in the root of your sdcard and you 'll be able to flash it. Better transfer a Google edition 4.3 rom if you have already Google edition firmware. Otherwise flash ARHD31 and see if you can get s-off and make things even better

Okay, it was not originally a Google edition, i flashed it to it, and lost the stock firmware. Should i just do what i said in my previous post? I would like the 4.4 anyways

So what happens when you reboot?
Also you should stick with 4.3. 4.4 is giving lots of issues. Won't suggest it unless you are soff

You are S-ON so NO you can't flash 4.4. for now. If you follow my steps you can get your phone back to a working state and then head for s-off which will let you install 4.4 without any issues

Forgot about S-ON. Steps being what you posted earlier?

Once again:
a. Boot into twrp recovery
b.run a command prompt within your fastboot folder
c. Type adb push filename.zip /data/media/0/
d. After its done use twrp to flash that Rom you just transferred and make full wipe.
Phone will boot to that rom and then you decide if you go for s-off or just stay like that

[Q] [SOLVED] Unlocked/Rooted with S-On want OTA

I would like to install the AT&T OTA of 4.4.2 but have a custom recovery and am unable to upgrade. I am rooted with the stock 4.3 ROM and have the twrp recovery installed. I have S-ON. I've searched around trying to find a way to get this to work but can't seem to figure it out. I've tried looking around for an AT&T 4.3 stock recovery to try and flash it but can't seem to find one. The one from the Dev sticky page is not available for download. Can someone detail the steps I have to perform to get the 4.4.2 OTA from AT&T. Thanks in advance.
[SOLVED]
OK, problem fixed and 4.4.2 installed from OTA. I had relocked the bootloader on my phone so... start from scratch. Steps to resolve
1 - Unlock Bootloader
2 - Get S-Off on device (Makes everything easier). I used Firewater (http://firewater-soff.com)
3 - Flash the AT&T 3.17.502.3 (4.3) RUU from here (http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/). You may need a different one if not on AT&T
4 - Start phone, check for update. Let it download. Cake.
Now off to redo all the settings on my phone. Hope this helps someone else.

You can extract recovery.IMG from the ATT 4.4.2 OTA update if you can't find anything else.

It downloaded and attempted to install, then failed half way. Anything else I have to do before I update? Do I have to lock my bootloader again or unroot?

It doesn't give me an error. The OTA downloads, reboots and gets to a triangle with the green arrows inside and starts installing, then about 25% of the way it stops and goes to a red triangle. I'm thinking the MD5 to one of my files may be failing. I installed an edit to the framework sometime ago to get the hotspot working (that's the only change to the stock rom I've made). It doesn't really give me an error message though.

It could be the issue. You will need to choose one of the few options:
1. Restore a stock ATT OS for the same version you have (4.3) and update again
2. S-OFF (Preferred to avoid future messy bricks) and reinstall old ATT RUU and then upgrade all the way without custom rom/rooting/firmware changes
3. Wait for someone to post a custom rom install of the new ATT 4.4 update and install that.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. I think I'm gonna go with option 2, depending on how much time I have to do this, or 3 if time is an issue. Just one more question for you. Is firewater the best method to get S-Off or do you recommend a different one?

If the ota stops on the second half as you discribe I think you have the wrong stock recovery. Different version than your "version-main"

It could be because I flashed the recovery that came with the OTA with fastboot and then after SaHiLzZ pointed me in the right direction was able to download the 4.3 recovery but flashed that one with flashify. I bet you the one I did with flashify didn't take. Funny thing is I also relocked my bootloader and now must unlock it again and that will probably wipe my device. What a mess, oh well, I hope that's all it is and at least I'm learning as I go.

Verizon Htc one, rom reboots every few minutes.

Hello guys Im having a problem with my vzw htc one and I know its my fault, I basically soft bricked the phone however it loads into currently installed rom (I had 3 and only one that would load) I have but reboots every few minutes with no access to the internal memory. I was trying to install Google play edition 4.4 kitkat however I forgot the radios are different for our phones and I installed the incorrect radio so now I am stuck only with the bootloader and CWM recovery but I cannot flash any files through fastboot because its apparently still locked (im getting the remote not allowed error) My phones is S off and rooted (I used rumrunner) . I have tried to mount usb storage in recovery with no luck and I have tried to flash a new rom and radio through boot loader but its locked and htc dev wont let you unlock our phones so im kinda stuck
If anyone has a solution to my problem I would really appreciate it I use my phone for a lot of stuff while deployed here in Afghanistan I use Roshan prepaid sim card works well.Thanks for any help and have a great day !

I did see that and cool I will use yours. I guess I will try to unlock it in case this happens again but ill probably never mess with the radio again lol.
i wasnt using the carbon rom anymore i had 2 more roms on my sd card and when i flashed the incorrect radio the other two wouldnt even work. thescreen was black when it loaded. carbon rom is the only one that would load but it just reboots every few minutes i tried to copy the files on the sd card before it rebooted but wouldnt work
just out of curiousity how would i flash that with the bootloader locked. i really want to know incase something ever happens again. im still learning alot of this stuff lol
Im going to unlock the hboot real quick and see if that works. you should private message me your paypal im going to buy you dinner for all your help

btw this my current radio 4T.21.3218.21 im guessing it doesnt work with verizon htc one lol.

[Q] Changing Sprint to International version

You can't really change a Sprint device into a different variant. Only a Sprint-compatible kernel will boot on the Sprint variant, and network connectivity will only work with Sprint firmware installed. So really, the answer is no.

Updating is easy - just run the latest RUU. It'll wipe your data, but it'll give you a nice clean start. The device should remain unlocked. You can even leave the stock recovery intact after that and just fastboot boot TWRP to install SuperSU for root. That'll allow you to take future OTA updates (as long as you don't change anything on /system).

Ok, I'm new into this so, please would you explain me the RUU part and which is the latest RUU and the fastboot TWRP part? Or if there's any tutorial you could show me, that would be cool.
I hope I'm not bothering you with my doubts but I just want to learn.
Once again, thanks for the support.

Connect your phone and PC and double-click the RUU file to start the installation process.

Thanks a lot, I'm now running lollipop on my M8, using the ruu, I lost root access though, now what is that Fastboot TWRP CaptainThrowback mentioned? Will that get me root access again? Is this what I have to do?

Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required):
You will need the platform-tools from the Android SDK on your computer. Find the SDK Only section on the page linked and install the SDK and download only the platform-tools to get adb and fastboot binaries.
Windows users will need proper drivers installed on your computer. You can try the Naked ADB drivers or the Universal ADB drivers if you don't already have a working driver installed
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode. Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
