Going through the process to repair my phone has educated me on tremendously about the errors of my ways. If anyone can provide any beneficial assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.
OTA (PRIOR- 4.4.2. kitkat )Sense 5.5 with updated firmware 4.06 HBOOT 1.56
Sprint HTC ONE M7_WLS
S-ON
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
TWRP Recovery
UNDETECTED IN ADB
Remote signature failed
Remote access denied
Running on Windows 8.1 and ADB version 1.0.31
USB 1.0 (I know that 2.0+ is better)
Cause for boot loop = No OS available. (Yes, I am aware that I need to install a ROM but that is the issue I am having.)
What does this mean?

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?

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
adb is not detecting my device so I am unable to push files.

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.

When I tried updating my Incredible S to JellyBean from an ICS ROM, I forgot to S-OFF my phone. For some reason it reverted to S-ON when I did a Factory Reset so when I attemped the ROM installation it would not boot the phone.

well because you unlocked your bootloader then i assume you have adb and fastboot setup. copy the boot.img from your rom's zip file to your adb and fastboot location. lets pretend its in your c drive in a folder called android.
next you wanna boot into hboot and go down to fastboot. go into it and when you plug in your usb cable it will go from fastboot to fastboot usb mode.
open command prompt and navigate to the directory. eg. cd c:\android
then type fastboot flash boot boot.img
wait for it to finish then reboot phone. if all goes good it should boot into the rom. you will have to do this with every rom you install while your s on

theres a guide by fallen in development. might be 2 or 3 pages in
Hey guys, long time lurker and now first time poster. Shame it has to be something very stupid.
So anyways, I wanted to flash the latest CM10.2 Unofficial build so I did the usual and downloaded the zip & gapps to my phone. But upon wiping my phone via TWRP I accidentally left the wipe userdata part checked and ... well now I have no OS installed as well as no zip's :/
I have TWRP installed so I thought why not sideload it, however when I go to advanced -> adb sideload it never starts up. This is the log:
Updating partition details...
Starting ADB sideload feature...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And it just stays there
I know that my ADB works as I have S-OFF & unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest 1.54.0000 hboot so I can definitely use it, I just don't understand why it doesn't let me sideload for some reason.
Either way, I have full access to fastboot & TWRP recovery so i'm hoping this is a pretty simple thing to fix ... right?
Can anybody point me to the right direction?
Details:
No OS installed.
Access to TWRP & fastboot.
S-OFF, Modified Hboot 1.54.0000 (SuperCID) & Unlocked bootloader.
Windows 8 64-bit, drivers all work.
Latest SDK with all the binaries installed.
P.S. when I connect and try and use adb devices it doesn't recognise my device, and the cmd window gives the following when I try the sideload command:
Error: device not found.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sounds like a driver issue to me but it doesn't make sense that the drivers would suddenly stop working ???
Here are screenshots of odd device behaviour when switching from fastboot to recovery (please copy & paste, I don't have enough posts to post images yet):

Tried that already, same issue in not detecting the device. I'm downloading these drivers in a hope to fix something.

TWRP is much better for people who know what they are doing. There are more options and also a built in file manager. Also, the wipe button in TWRP wipes the 3 main partitions at once (data/cache/dalvik), so he must have actually selected internal sdcard from the advanced menu, and I have no idea why he would do that...
Doing the slider is all anyone needs to do in twrp to wipe yet I read more posts about people wiping with twrp than any other problem in these forums
So basically the only thing working in fastboot
somehow i have managed to wipe everything off of my device so there is no rom installed what so ever...which means i am unable to turn on usb debugging to get adb working. I am also on 1.31 so the RUU method will not work. i am able to flash whatever recovery or Superuser i wish and root/unroot as i please.
the only solution i can think of would be to flash a signed stock zip using "fastboot update signedstock.zip" but the ones i found here -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907 dont seem to work. i get errors like no "boot.img" or "does not contain android-info.txt"
any suggestions?

just a fyi you can use fastboot to flash a rom if you put it in the same folder as the platform tools folder of your sdk, All roms have a android-info.txt file that's how android knows how to flash what to the particular partition.
you can flash any zip file from fastboot as long as it has the android-info file
fastboot flash zip nameofzip.zip

Hi Guys,
A newbie here and of course I'm in trouble. HTC One International version.
Few weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader by HTC One Toolkit 1.9.3 and HTCDEV unlock token.
Installed CWM Mod Tuuch recovery.
Now I receive the E: Can't mount error with CWM...hence CWM won't also root the phone so it's Unlocked but unrooted.
Anyway, yesterday came the 4.3 OTA update...I downloaded and automatically tried to install it. It reboots to CWM and then of course get's stuck into CWM as it can't mount SD or anything...
Also for a strange reason whenever I go to Fastboot Windows 8 won't recognize the USB device...tried installin the HTC drivers, installed and uninstalled and installed again HTC Sync manager but still nothing...tried different USB cables, different USB ports..still nothing
What should I do to get CWM working and install the OTA?
The phone does boot to 4.2.2. ROM and works fine but as the OTA is downloaded is whines every now and then that I should install the update which I can't do..
Download an up-to-date recovery.img from the cwm thread and flash it via fastboot. There are several tutorials out there how to do that. Hope it will help

That's the question I keep asking myself....
Actually I thought of trying custom ROM. But then as the CWM had errord I had not the time to fiddle with that. So I thought that when I have time I'll deal with that.. Then came the update and surely I wanted to try the new 4.3 and Sense....
I guess now I need to have the time to deal with this..

Select 'Recovery' to boot into it.
Choose 'Mount' and check 'System'
Now try adb shell to check, if you have access to your Phone. If you have so, download a ROM, for example AICP, which I prefer, and copy it to your sd with this commad:
Code:
adb push C:\Path\to\you\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
If this completes successfull go to the homescreen of twrp -> Install and choose this zip file.
For AICP you have to flash GApps after you flashed the ROM. I'll provide you the links:
AICP: http://tunsd.de/downloads/ICJ/AICP/m7ul/aicp_m7ul_jb-mr2_unofficial_2013-10-19.zip
GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Push both zips to your sdcard as I described above and flash them in the priority I put the links..

Naturally, i followed everything the guy did and it got to: fastboot devices, fastboot flash recovery.img (the img name) and got this error. Please help me.

Right click the recovery image, click on rename. Name it recovery for simplicity. Put it in the folder where fastboot, adb etc. is.
Open cmd, direct it to your working folder. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img Not recovery .img.img
What next?

It seems you are still typing the wrong thing. Type in:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Just copy/paste the above code in your command prompt.
That is just to get the custom recovery TWRP on your phone.
Next download the SuperSU app and you will see a # symbol in your notifications to let you know you need to download the su binaries.
Choose the TWRP option and it will reboot the phone to TWRP recovery.
It may restart after it is done or you will have to press Back and choose Reboot then System. I just did this and I received an error in TWRP. I simply rebooted and SuperSU is working perfect and I have root access.

The custom image worked but ... I do not have a twrp option. I have:
HBOOT <-------- i chose this then recovery and the phone loaded. I then installed supersu and launched it but it said there is no su binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem!
if you just upgraded to android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device. <---- I have not upgraded. Please Help
RAMDUMP
REBOOT
REBOOT FASTBOOT <-------- I am guessing it is this one?
POWER DOWN

No, that will just reboot back into fastboot mode.
You have two options:
1. Press the Power button from that screen you just mentioned and click on the RECOVERY option
2. When you are in the OS type in the code below
Code:
adb reboot recovery

No, it's not stupid. I shouldn't have said it like that. Just turn the phone on, basically. I'm referring to the Android OS where you can use adb.

I've seen that before. It usually means you have more than one adb.exe or it could really just be out of date. HTC Sync Manager and WinDroid both come with their own adb. I got rid of those two and the problem went away.
Type in the command prompt, in the same folder as adb.exe
Code:
adb version
The newest one is 1.0.32, just to rule out you don't have an older version.

I told you what to do in post #4.
I just said reboot into recovery to make sure you have TWRP installed
Next download the SuperSU app and you will see a # symbol in your notifications to let you know you need to download the su binaries.
Choose the TWRP option and it will reboot the phone to TWRP recovery.
It may restart after it is done or you will have to press Back and choose Reboot then System. I just did this and I received an error in TWRP. I simply rebooted and SuperSU is working perfect and I have root access.

Sorry about the hassle. The reason why supersu isn't working is because bellend here has a phone running 4.4.3. How do i go about sorting out that issue?

It's no hassle, I just wanted to point that out to you.
Are you sure it is 4.4.3 or are you referring to an error message? Our phone should be 4.4.2. Even though one of the custom ROMs says 4.4.4.

It is i checked. I followed this guide instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/general/guide-how-to-unlock-install-recovery-t2988292 and i launched it and it said this version is a development build and it ran. Now should it be rooted or is there another step i have to do? I just did root checker and it said that the root has been installed correctly
Thank you all. You have been a great help and i am hugely beyond belief grateful. The root has worked.
