Please help, possible brick after following guide to flash firmware

I was following Vomer's guide on my One, which has been working great. I had HBOOT 1.54, S-Off, SuperCID, and pushed the firmware twice, got the success message, and waited and when it says finished used adb to tell it to reboot. Now I get the splash, with the lock gone, as expected, and then the screen goes black. If I hold power, or power and down, the hardware keys start blinking and then nothing. A few seconds later I get the splash again, then blank again.
It appears to be communicating briefly over USB because my laptop starts trying to install a HTC MTP device (drive is already on the PC and has been fine) before it looses comms and drops out. I can't seem to get adb device to recognize it....
PLEASE tell me someone can help me recover my phone!!! I will be immensely grateful.

And what the HBOOT version you wanted to downgrade to?

I wasn't trying to downgrade HBOOT, just rather ensure my firmware was up to date. I'd had mine set up as a GPE and was flashing the DE (after supercid).
By way of an update, I've been able to get into bootloader and I'm a bit scared on what to do next so I dont screw this up. I notice that I still have S-OFF, but HBOOT is now showing 1.56 and it says RELOCKED at the top. My plan was to use rumrunner (just because of the HBOOT, but it is erroring anyway) to unlock bootloader, and then to look up the fastboot commands to push a ROM and recovery. Any advice?

Downgrade to 1.44 and change cid according to the Rom you want. Then unlock or set your bootloader to LOCKED
Here is the file for 1.44 http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/95229262/file.html

Can you help me with the adb commands to flash that boot zip? Also, should I run " fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" to unlock my bootloader first?

You can unlock if you want to flash custom recovery.
Place the file i gave you to the fastboot folder. Boot into bootloader and choose FASTBOOT.
Run the following : fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip filename.zip *where filaname the actual filename of the file i gave you
You will get FAILED or sth so do this command again to succesfully flash the firmware.

Awesome. So I've got HBOOT 1.44, S-OFF, bootloader unlocked, supercid, and TWRP 2.6.3.3 flashed again, and I tried sideloading ARHD rom. It all looked good but same thing for the moment, I get the splash and then black......I can't figure out why I can't boot into a rom right now. About to try flashing ROM again.
Okay, so didnt' work. After sideload flashing gets to 100% it just does nothing. Manually rebooting gets me back into the splash then blackness bootloop......

Can you issue fastboot clear cache in bootloader and see the outcome?
Also as you are Soff, you can run dev ruu

The former didn't get me anywhere, but I did follow your thinking and decided to use the RUU and start over. I'm happy to report that got me going, and then I was able to get AR HD on. I probably had to do that all along once I wiped the ROM and recovery, as sideloading clearly wasn't going to work (in retrospect) as it has an AROMA installer.
Thanks so much everyone!!

[Q] Trouble with [OS - 1.10.605.2]

Having trouble with this OS because I want to update to (Sense 5.5) (4.4.2) but I'm stuck on (Sense 5.0) (4.2.2). Just becoming extremely frustrated and cannot find a firmware update to move my OS up to 1.10.605.10 or even 1.10.605.8.
I am on Verizon and have HBOOT - 1.54, Superuser, S-OFF, and Bootloader Unlocked. Right now after what I have been reading today it seems as if I am stuck with this OS and wont be able to receive the OTA updates to get a better ROM.
Although one good thing that happened is I just got my recovery working today thanks to "philz_touch_6.19.3-m7vzw"
So if anybody and I mean anybody has any suggestions on how I can do this or even point me in the direction of the best ROM for my requirements it would be greatly appreciated.
I do not remember rooting being this difficult with my Thunderbolt.
Best regards,

this RUU will get you to .10
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_wl_jb_50_vzw_1-10-605-10_decrypted-zip/
Instructions for Flashing RUU Zip Files:
Download the RUU.zip file and place in your ADB/fastboot folder. I would recommend renaming the zip file to something simple like ruu.zip.
Boot your phone into the bootloader by holding the power and vol up/down buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader screen or if you have your phone booted you can use the ADB command:
adb reboot-bootloader
Now use these fastboot commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Should see the Silver HTC logo. Now issue this command to flash your phone using the ruu.zip file:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:
fastboot reboot
**Notes about the RUU.zip method. You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first. If you are running the RUU.zip as base to downgrade all your firmware because you are going to then going to restore a stock Nandroid so the RUU might not be made for your MID, so you may need to edit the android-info.txt inside the ruu.zip to include your MID or CID.

Just curious so after I flash this RUU, what is my next step? To download a custom ROM suitable for 4.4.2?

Ok, so lets say it all works and I install the OTA update. Then what?

Also I'm "SuperCID 11111111" probably should have mentioned this earlier.
Everything worked and had no issues, but now I'm confused on what to do next.
I don't want to install the newest OTA update because it seems that people are having issues with it.

Then just flash back to your custom recovery and root the phone
flash this from recovery >> http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
Also if you choose to flash roms please stay in the Verizon forums.. most of the Roms you find in this area are not for your phone

Alright so after tinkering around all day I have, HBoot-1.56, with KitKat 4.4.2, and OS- 3.11.605.1.
I have the bootloader unlocked thanks to SuperCID

Are you still stuck ? OS- 3.11.605.1 is not android 4.4.2 it's 4.3

Yeah I was a little to tired to realize what I was talking about last night.
I was going back and forth between studying java, ascii, and unix for my exam earlier today and trying to get my phone squared away.
Now I'm curious about updating my baseband unless it really won't make much of a difference.
But this is where I ended up at.

[Q] i bricked my M7 with wrong firmware

hi all
i was tried to flash my M7 from 4.3 to 4.4.2
downloaded the OTA update 4.19.401.7
contained :
DATA
META-INF
PATCH
System
Firmware.zip
Fotaboot
Skin_fota
the wrong step is : extracted the Firmware.zip file only
and flashed it only by :
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
now the phone is bricked, only boot to the HTC logo and black screen
when i try to press power bottom, the (Back & Home) led blinking
i was boot to bootloader and copy this information to you :
***LOCKED***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.56.0000 (it was 1.55 before)
RADIO-4A.23.3263.28
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-4.19.401.9 (it was 3.62.401.1)
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Feb 7 2014,01:06:01.0
i was try to rename the OTA file to Firmware.zip and flash it again, but always failed
i was try to flash downgrade Firmware (3.62.401.1) also failed
i was try to flash RUU.exe (1.28.401.7) from the Fastboot screen and from the rebootRUU screen also failed
i was try to wipe and re-flash the same Firmware.zip file, it's flashed with no failed steps, but still bricked and no system to boot into
can you help me ?

My suggestion:
You are acting nervous, don´t know, from where you got the solutions you´ve tried. Your phone is not bricked if you have access to your bootloader as you wrote but yo can´t flash the needed things with a locked bootloader. Would be better to ask before every step, if you don´t know what to do.
1st you can send your device to HTC for repair...i think you have to pay for that
or 2nd (read and think about the warranty):
Unlock your bootloader via HTC.Dev. http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter
With locked bootloader it won´t run. If you have access to your bootloader, you are able to flash a recovery via Fastboot-USB and have access to adb. With S-On you can´t run the RUU you´ve tried, because you can´t downgrade your phone. S-Off would be the solution, but at the moment you can´t get it with your high HBoot version.
I think, the correct firmware is ready on your phone and you should
- unlock your bootloader with your Unlock_code.bin from HTC.Dev, flash it via Fastboot-USB fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, accept the message on your phone, then
- flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 m7 recovery via fastboot, fastboot erase cache then fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
- sideload Maximus Rom or ARHD 52.0 via adb in recovery adb sideload HTC_One_-_MaximusHD_32.0.0.zip (if other rom, you have to replace the correct filename of the zip)
- or sideload the stock odexed rom 4.19.401.9 from the same download area at ARHD for the One
- check the MD5 sum before sideload! http://www.flashplayerpro.com/MD5Checksum/downloadMD5Checksum.htm
(even saw, the links of ARHD are down at the moment - the server problems of mike 1986 are not gone. Try it tomorrow or read the last sites of the thread to find alternative links),
- wipe data, system, dalvik cache and cache in recovery (not sd card)
- install the rom.zip via recovery, reboot into bootloader and
- flash the boot.img copied out of the rom via fastboot. fastboot erase cache then fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot erase cache
Then your device hopefully will boot again.
If the steps of flashing roms with TWRP are after reading this not really known, read the FAQ before.

If you are able to go to bootloader then give it a try. Unlock bootloader then try to flash firmware.

Correct me if i'm wrong but with S-ON you need the bootloader to be locked/re-locked to flash the firmware.zip

OP, didn't we agree that you were going to wait??
I'm not entirely sure if stock recovery will read an OTG cable + stick, but worth a try:
if you haven't unlocked yet, get yourself an OTG cable + stick, put the OTA.ZIP (yes all of it, not just firmware), on the stick. connect it to your phone, and reboot into stock recovery, then press POWER + VOLUP (and hope it sees the otg), and use the "apply from sdcard" option to install the OTA.

[Q] Is it possible to update OTA while rooted?

I'm on android 4.4.2 (stock htc one firmware s-off) unlocked bootloader and rooted. I got on OTA update but when I click install, it reboots and goes into twrp. I'm guessing I cant install the OTA update without relocking bootloader and unrooting?
Or can I just unroot it (without relocking the bootloader) and try again?

You need the stock recovery and stock ROM to run the OTA. You can use this tool to Guru Bootloader Reset Tool to LOCK before the update since you are S-OFF. Then after you update the phone you can UNLOCK it again.

You can get the stock recovery from the OTA. If you were to unzip it on your computer, then find the firmware.zip file and open it. Extract the recovery.img out of it. This is your stock recovery. Place it in the same folder as your ADB & Fastboot files.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash stock recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I don't know for sure if you have to relock your bootloader, I would try it first and see. I know that RUU.exe need it LOCK.

I think the best thing to do is to get S-OFF. This would turn security off and allow you to bypass some of the verification. http://firewater-soff.com/ is the most popular for hboot 1.5X. Once you get S-OFF, then try to flash the stock recovery after you lock your bootloader.

You know, I was on 4.2.2 and I got the sense 6 OTA update today. I couldn't install it because bootloader was unlocked. I went through the whole process and returned my phone back to stock.
Currently, I am back on 4.2.2 (with bootloader relocked) but this time it says no updates available. How does that work? Because I checked and my MID /CID hasnt changed

Go to @TeHashX thread [Full Stock Backup] | 5.11.401.10 | Twrp_Backup | Ota | M7_U & M7_UL. He has a link to the OTA which you can download. I would copy it to your /sdcard/download/ file then boot into stock recovery and install it.

[Q] S-On and unable to reflash stock rom

Hi. I have been searching for two days on how to restore my phone to a stock Rom. I flashed some lame Rom that I can't remember the name of (has a blue firebird boot screen...) and now that's the only Rom I can flash. I tried many rims but haven't had any luck. I know the lame Rom I flashed made me first flash a boot image. I trtried reflashing a stock boot image but it doesn't help. The stock roms succeed but stay stuck on the lock screen totally unresponsive except for the power button to hard reset... I'm trying to get S-Off with FireWire but it fails saying that it cannot s-Off my device. Cannot RUU since I'm s-on and have no clue what to do.
The boot loader reads that the O.S. is version 4.19.531.10 but I currently have no O.S. installed since I wiped.
The boot loader is version 1.56 and it's a T-Mobile USA version.
ADB Sideload works but the install is faulty as described.
Thanks.

update your recovery to 2.6.3.3 and flash your rom again.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
you can also use the latest RUU.exe which will restore your phone back to stock and updated to the latest version. (better option imo)

I'm going to try to update the recovery first because when I try to relock the bootloader even after flashing stock recovery it just boots to the bootloader even with a rom installed. (Even if its the erroring stock rom)

update your recovery to 2.6.3.3 and flash your rom again.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Okay well I'm having no luck. Trying to flash the RUU wont work and updating the recovery didn't work. The ruu just hangs at 5% Checking headers. I tried extracting the rom.zip from the ruu but I get the invalid size crap and when trying to open the rom.zip it gives me an invalid error. I don't know what to do here.

Let try this using the version just above your base version:
Download, rename to firmware.zip and place in your adb/fastboot folder: firmware 5.14.531.1
Boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB
Type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem lock[/I][/B]
Type:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

Now run this RUU 5.14.531.1
If this is successful you can try to achieve S-OFF with firewater. Of course, you will need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery. Or, you can retry the RUU in alray's post.

Thanks. This restored the phone to a usable state. I'm going to try firewater now.
