Hope I can find some help as I ran into what seems to be a pretty serious issue. I haven't been able to find any steps that gets my phone back into booting the actual OS, so posting my specific problem seems to be the only option. A lot of thanks for anyone that can possibly help.
So, followed these instructions to root my phone and get it ready for installing a new ROM, but got stuck at instruction 18.
Which says: (a few before too)
16. OK Now the bootloader is unlocked. Time to install a recovery. In Terminal ./adb reboot bootloader
17. In terminal ./fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img (I used recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img)
18. After recovery has flashed POWER DOWN PHONE COMPLETELY Then restart it
Once I did that, I restarted my phone and it loaded up clockwork recovery screen. This seemed fine, but every time I clicked to restart system it keeps on putting me back to this screen.
* I've tried clearing cache and booting, creating a backup and restoring and booting,
* I've got to the bootloader of the OS, but when I go to recovery, it brings me back here.
* I can't connect via the terminal w/ adb or fastboot as it complains it can't connect to device or just waiting for device.
* Neither the Android File Manager nor HTC Sync Manager can connect.
* I've tried only having one application installed for file management hoping that it's just a conflict, but to no avail.
* Can't use an sdcard load since there's no sdcard
* Trying a sideload doesn't work because I can't connect to the device.
I'm afraid I bricked my phone. I hope someone can offer some suggestions.
Again, thank you for your time.

You can't reboot into bootloader with a longpress of Power + Vol- button under a strong light?
I can get there, to bootloader by using the power and volume down, but no matter what option i pick it gets me back to clockworkmod. I've tried connecting then via terminal, but still nothing. Pretty frustrating.
In fastboot with the command:
Code:
fastboot devices
you can't see your phone?
If yes, flash the latest TWRP/CWM, do an erase cache and flash or sideload a rom
Right, nothing is output w/ that. Neither in bootloader or clockworkmod screen.
You've the right driver installed?
And, in device manager you can see your phone without any yellow triangle?
p.s. are you using windows, right?
Forgot to mention that, I'm on a Macbook Pro.
So Fastboot flash different recovery does not work?
When you where in recovery, did you flash any new ROM?

So you have to add a
Code:
./
before the fastboot/adb command.
In fastboot type:
Code:
./fastboot devices
and check if you can see your device

Thanks for the command... sadly it just says waiting for device. The core problem it seems now is that my computer won't recognize the USB connection for this device.
I think I just found out what I did wrong
instead of running this:
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img
I ran this:
/fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img
based on command history. Crap.

Yeah, I know, only way you can get the whole process working is by adding ./ or if you wanted to put it on your $PATH variable, but that would be pointless.
Well your op says you attempted to do backups and restore, so you obviously seem to have CWM installed.

Yeah, it's installed. Just I think now because it was put on as a boot vs recovery it's treating it as the OS, possibly, so when I try to boot the system,it just boots CWM. The OS is there though, if I do a backup you can see all the files (especially proprietary stuff from HTC) still on the drive. But w/o access to it via terminal I don't know if there's a way to fix the boot problem. I can get to the bootloader,if I only it could mount to my computer from there (or even in CWM). Access to the phones drive seems to be the only way to clean it up.

As I gathered from your description, you are using a MAC.
I think you should use your friends PC to use the command to install the recovery and see if it solves the problem.
Alternatively you can use Heimdall Terminal fir MAC, which is sort of ODIN for MAC and try to reinstall your firmware.

I can use virtual box now... i'll give it a try.
I use Mac as well and I ran into same connectivity problems as you do, but it was not during unlocking, rooting.. I had a Bootloop going with some mods conflicts, anyway, not important. I used my missus win 7 laptop and there it would see it and I could fix my problems there. Mac has had issues with SdK not working.
Alas, do run the Fastboot flash recovery command if you get it talking, as you temporarily can access CWM before flashing it permanently.

I have a similar problem
My specs:
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT 1.44 UNLOCKED
RADIO 1.00.20.0626
OpenDSP v31.120.274.0617

TWRP v2.6.3 - working correctly
I have no backup and no ROM on my phone
I can access HBOOT just fine via power + vol down
Team Win Recovery also seems to function properly
My phone is not listed under adb devices
and the worst of all, my phone won't connect to my PC!!
Here is the problem,
I got bored with my stock ROM, so I decided to try CyanogenMod 10.1. Having installed a few ROMs in the past, I felt comfortable tampering with the software on my HTC One (Sprint). I first had clockworkmod flashed and I booted to HBOOT and wiped everything I had an option to wipe. I fear this was my mistake, I also did not create a backup prior to my tampering. After wiping my phone with clockwork, I tried moving the Cyanogen zip to my phone. This is when I noticed my phone would not connect to the PC. I tried different PC's and cords. I am using USB 2.0 and the laptop even makes a ding noise when I enter fastboot usb. My phone is not listed in C: drive, device manager, or adb devices.
I now have flashed TWRP and made sure all my drivers are up to date. I installed HTC Sync Manager, which can not find my phone. I tried to send the cyanogen zip to my phone via fastboot flash zip cm-10.1.3-m7spr.zip. This failed to pass signature verification test. I thought being unlocked bypassed the sig check but I guess not. I tried to gain S-OFF using revone. I couldn't send revone to my phone either. I also tried installing the stock ruu. I got my phone to the black HTC screen and ran the ruu.exe and whammo! ERROR [155] UNKNOWN ERROR...
I'm looking for a way to move my rom zip file to my phone so I can install via TWRP. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

Hey guys,
Noob here. I installed the Cyanogenmod yesterday on my HTC One using the Mac Installer. Everything went smoothly, but didn't like it, prefered the stock Sense 5.5 feel.
So I started going back to Sense 5.5.
But I'm stuck.
Here's what I have:
TAMPERED
RELOCKED
S-ON
HBOOT-1.55
OS-3.62.401.1
But thing is, I have no idea if I successfully flashed the ROM or not nor the recovery.img. When I enter bootload and select Recovery the HTC shuts down, so I guess it isn't fully installed.
Moreover, when I try to flash the recovery.img I get a Terminal error saying it cannot open 'recovery.img'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for my noobness.

Small update,
Managed to install Clockworkmod, but when i tried to flash the stock rom using fastboot (adb doesn't work, device not shown even though all drivers are installed) i got an error.
Gonna try to flash Android Revolution HD to see if it works, will report back.
So, flashed clockworkmod.
I dont care if I cant get my HTC One to stock, just want it to work.
Wanted to flash Android Revolution 4.3 to my phone, but adb doesnt want to work.
Windows says that the HTC Driver is up to date, version 2.0.7.23.
Rebooted Windows 8 but adb is still not working.
Any help would be greatful,
Thanks.

Are you using adb when phone is in recovery mode?
Hello. I have the following problem. I friend of mine that I've sold him my old rooted Htc One tried to make 4.4. kitkat
He tried to install
Android_Revolution_HD-One-53.0zip
BUT I don't know how he managed to stuck his phone.The problem is when I am power on the phone it shows the white HTC screen with the red letters "this build is for development purpose only..." after a while reboots in TWRP v2.5.0.0
And that's it , I cannot do anything because my PC won't recognize it via USB cable.
Any suggestions?
(excuse me for my English, with love from Greece )
As long as it boots into Recovery its not bricked. Do you have the HTC Driver installed on your computer?
Android Revolution HD 53 requires min. TWRP 2.6.3.3. Your version is too old.

From recovery go to fastboot connect phone to pc.
It must be recognized.
Then flash boot.img which is in the Revolution.zip.
Then install the rom via recovery.
Remember for unlock and not s-off users the boot.img must be flashed befor flashing a rom.zip.

SAME problem (or pretty similar) here, trying to instal ARHD61.1... I don't know how did I screw up this so much...
My bootloader is TAMPERED, UNLOCKED, S-On. Recovery TRWP (2.7) launches but... many things don't work.
First thing I have to mention is that I didn't forget to enable debugging before all this started (and now I can't launch android to do it).
My HTC drivers should be up-to-date, as I installed yesterday HTC sync 3.00.52...
In bootloader, if I type "fastboot devices" I get "FA34HW903605 fastboot", and "fastboot reboot.bootloader" does what it is expected to do...
In recovery, "adb push" tells me "error: device not found".
Can someone help me? If you need more details, just ask. Thanks

Let me try and I'll tell you later. I also think it's a matter of drivers, so I was downloading and re-installing it... Thank you for your help
-------------------------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I followed your steps (LET ME THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT GUIDE) and now the device is "My HTC" as you show.
Something has changed:
If I type "adb devices" (in PC) when phone is in fastboot, the listing is void (before I got "FA34HW903605 fastboot"), and if I do the same while phone is in recovery, I get the mentioned "FA34HW903605 recovery".
In Windows7 I don't see "My HTC" as a conventional USB storage or Memory of a Camera (should it be?)
I've managed to ADB PUSH a ROM (ARHD) in recovery, but now I get an error message: "Unable to mount '/data' " and "Unable to mount internal storage " then FAILED. Now I'll try flashing a new recovery...
WOW WOW WOW!! It was enough for me, sir
1st) Solve comunnication issues as shown in FAQ #2 here
2nd) Solve TWRP recovery mount issues by:
2.a) Installing any other (clockwork) in fastboot using One All In One Kit (eaaaasy)
2.b) Formatting cache, system, data partitions
2.c) Installing TWRP again using One All In One Kit (Android Revolution REQUIRES this recovery)
2.d) Sending the ROM ('adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard/wherever_you_want_it')
2.e) Installing it from TWRP recovery.
An that was all. THANKS A LOT nkk71; without your help I still would be here trying to figure out what's broken... Thanks.

no problem, glad to be of help
remember for most 4.4 ROMs, (for m7_u/ul) TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or higher) is recommended at the moment.
though you should be good by downloading it, then checking MD5 to make sure the download isnt corrupt (that site doesnt work with download managers), then:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery and push the rom
Thank you all for your support, but still the problem remains.
I have installed HTC Drivers and when i connect the HtcOne i can hear the USB beep from windows but i cannot open the phone like a drive.
In other words i cannot add files to the phone :crying::crying:

It wont be so easy, I'm afraid. Even if comunication issues are solved, you won't be able to copy your ROM using windows file manager, opening the phone like a conventional drive...
You have to install "ADB" in your PC (search in HTC ONE subforums, there's a lot of info about ADB pusing (=copying) ROMS) and use it to copy your ROM. One advice: while "pushing" the ROM, be patient: it takes a long time. When your ROM is "pushed", just install it in recovery and... that's it!!
I think here you have a good starting point.

Hey, congratulations!! :good::good::good:
Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.
Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

Still looking for drivers. Apparently "every" browser blocks exe-files from being downloaded. Changed settings, managed to download it, run as admin. No response.

My bad. Managed to run it, but then it crashes straight away. Can that have anything to do with the driver not installed?

great your about done ...your phone will be android 4.3 when it finishes
don't take any updates to the OS
cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!
Really, thanks so much clsA! You made me a very happy person! :victory:

Hi, I'll jump right into my issue, as in 3 hours of research I haven't found explanation on internet about my problem :crying:
I need to:
- Install a ROM on my HTC One (international)
I have done this:
- Installed driver in PC
- Unlocked, rooted, tampered
- Installed TWRP
- Wiped everything on the phone (stupidly) including OS, so I have only access to Bootloader and Recovery now
- Somehow the device is now S-ON, I'm not sure if it reverted by itself from S-OFF?
I have tried and doesn't work:
1. Mounting through recovery as MTP to add my ROM zip -> Cannot Copy, Its file size is larger than device limit
2. TWRP option "ADB Sideload" stuck at the screen "Starting ADB sideload feature..." infinitely
3. When running ADB Devices -> under "List of devices attached" is empty
As I've learned all of this just recently, I have incomplete knowledge about the entire process so please treat me like an idiot that I am. Thanks a lot!

About the s-on / s-off thing. If your phone is s-on then it probably always was. There is only one way to go to s-off to s-on and it requires a very specific fastboot command.

You could also just grab a USB OTG cable. It's a really short (like, 2 inch long) cable that plugs into the micro-USB port on the phone and has a normal female USB port at the other end. With one of these, you could just copy the ROMs ZIP file onto a thumb drive and flash the ROM from recovery. I know TWRP supports OTG as this is the only way I install my ROMs and do my nandroid backups. It's totally worth the $3!

OK bro what's your TWRP version? Because for some reason MTP and Sideload both didn't work for me on the newer versions but sideload worked great on 2.6.3.3

I've found MTP to still be a bit unreliable in twrp
use adb push, sideload, or USB-OTG as mentioned in the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3
(it also mentions the driver problem)
PS: I also need to update that post, 2.8 series of twrp works fine for most ROMs, if you do get problems (such as with ARHD) then roll back to 2.6.3.3

Ok thanks, will do the driver repair now, however the HTC Sync has been working fine up until I screwed things up, still need to repair? I'm using Win 8.1 for this.

Yes! I've got an OTG but doesn't seem to be working - either it's already broken or I don't know how Pls explain how to access OTG from TWRP if I've already placed my ROM .zip to USB?

It's a new TWRP 2.8.0.2. I've just updated it last week or so. Everytime I restart the device from recovery, it keeps saying this device is unrooted and asks if I want to root even though I've done it on every previous restarts.

Yep, I've tried all that as described in my first post (except the OTG which doesn't work), or do you mean something else?
----------------
Update:
If I boot in recovery and mount MTP, my "ADB Devices" command will recognize the phone, how do I take it from here?

I do recommend changing to TWRP 2.6.3.3 untill your up and running. Just because it's the most stable version right now.
If adb is detecting your device while in recovery that's good. You can just push your Rom. Rename your Rom file to rom.zip and bit it in your fastboot folder.
Boot your phone to recovery. And connect usb. (you don't need MTP for this) just on the TWRP home screen is fine. In the adb command line type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. Once it's done install the Rom with twrp.
Or to use your OTG first you must mount it in the Mounts options. Then you can access it with the TWRP file manager, or by selecting install then changing the working directory. At the top of the install options Select where it says Internal Storage and change it to OTG.

Ok, I will install TWRP 2.6.3.3 instead. My OTG cable is busted so that's out for now.
Also this method worked. When I pushed the ROM it was unresponsive, I had to wait for about 7 minutes until it finished.
So I've finished installing Android Revolution HD 81.0 as normal, throws me back to TWRP, but when rebooting to system it says "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" And sure enough, it's stuck at HTC One welcome screen for over 10 minutes.
Seems like there's progress, you've helped a lot but still can't drill it to the end

Mmm! That's strange should install fine with 2.6.3.3. Did you notice any errors during install. Specifically "set_medata_recursive - some changes failed"
Check the md5 of your ARHD download also. You can get a free tool from www.winmd5.com to do that. If the md5 is correct and you see no errors during install.
You can try formatting data in TWRP this will however completely wipe the entire device. Including internal storage. So you will need to push the Rom again.
Also bare in mind it can take up to 15 to 20 mins to pass the HTC logo screen after a clean install. But seeing the No OS installed message is not normal

Yes! That did happen at the end of my installation. Should I be worried about that?
I'm not familiar with md5 - downloaded and installed it, but clueless about how to use this thing.
The installation was done in previous TWRP, I'm flashing 2.6.3.3 now and will try install ROM again.

Set meta data recursive means you've used the wrong recovery to install the Rom.
Just flash it with 2.6.3.3 you'll have no problems
EDIT :- for the record MD5 checking should always be done before flashing files to your phone to avoid flashing a corrupt zip or img. MD5 checksum values are normally posted with the download. This is the correct md5 for ARHD 81.
Code:
[SIZE="6"]Android Revolution HD 81.0[/SIZE]
[SIZE="2"]--- [I]MD5 Checksum: 9985BFD22A695AEA7A43BC7E0EB42DBC[/I] ---[/SIZE]
paste the long code into the appropriate box in the checker tool and drag and drop the file on the tool then click verify. It will tell you if they match. If they don't match get a new download
