Hello !
I run on Windows 8.1 x64 but fastboot doesn't work and my phone can't be detected. It's probably drivers problem but I have install/re-install many times HTC drivers and HTC Sync but it's doesn't work.
I'll wish to install Ubuntu 13.10 on dual boot to switch my phone to S-OFF. So, can I achieve S-OFF on Ubuntu or it's only on Windows ? (run RUU, commandline, exes ...)
Thank you
There's a different set of commands for Ubuntu. U need to search those up. Research it carefully

Might want to open a thread stating how you did it. Just sayin, will be convenient for others.

but at the part where it should say fastboot, no matter what i try it shows fastboot usb. and then the following steps fail.

I followed that guide to the letter to root my N1 while running Windows 7 x64. Make sure to use the PDANet drivers (as mentioned in that tutorial): http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php

That makes no sense.
What part should say fastboot? Where are you typing fastboot, and where are you seeing "fastboot usb".
Be more detailed so we can help you.

i think this was where things went wrong. i am used to linux so didn't reboot after installing the pda drivers. i think it was the reboot that has got me through.

Cool, so you got it working? Awesome
Unfortunately I have to post this here instead of the developers thread relating to Moonshine S-OFF here since I don't have the required 10 posts to post there. Anyway, how long is this process supposed to take? I followed all the instructions using stock 1.08 and the process just hangs on step 3 where it boots into fastboot the 2nd time. All I'm getting are row after row of periods for about 30 minutes until I simply had to unplug the phone and reboot. Nothing seems to have changed with the phone once rebooting.
Any help would be appreciated.
Are you using the windows or linux version?

Actually got it all worked out switching from doing it on a windows machine to doing it on my Ubuntu machine. Worked first time with no problems on Ubuntu.
Thanks for the follow up though.
Edit: even though I have S-OFF done I still cannot edit /system/etc/hosts (my whole reason for wanting S-OFF) either through es file explorer or by adb push. Any pointers on that? I have adb and fastboot set up on windows 7 and Ubuntu (no idea what version but fairly current).

A couple of days ago I thought it would be a GREAT idea to install a GSM ROM (Android Revolution HD) on my Sprint HTC One. I am now able to go into the recovery and flash a different ROM, but the ROM will boot up but shut down several seconds after reaching the home screen. I have been told that using an RUU might help, but will that work even if my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a USB device? All help is appreciated
EDIT: FIXED THANKS TO BIGDADDY619'S GUIDE ON THE SECOND PAGE

Maybe you screwed your radio but i'm not sure this is the answer to your problems... To be able to run a RUU your pc MUST recognize your phone in fastboot mode.
I repaired a friends device that did the same thing. When it boots you will see a lock screen with no wallpaper and then it will shutdown.
An RUU is the ONLY way to fix it.

There's nothing special about an RUU, it's just a self extracting archive that uses fastboot to flash stuff.
It can be done by hand, such as with a nandroid backup.

When I go into fastboot, my compooter makes that duh-doo sound for connecting a USB device, but it never shows up as a device on my computer that I can transfer files to. Is this normal and/or is this good enough for the RUU to work?

If you have S-OFF it will...
These instructions are for the Sprint variant only
You will need to be unlocked and have twrp installed for this to work (I'm posting this here because of my work schedule if you need further assistance PM back hopefully you and Matt can get it working )
1. Follow this guide Guide - Get s-off on 1.31 HTC One (Sprint) Update:
You will get a failed warning after issuing the echo blah blah command this is normal and nothing to be worried about and after the echo command type exit to exit the adb shell and continue.
2. Get the RUU here click the first link in the thread(extract it to your desktop/open it and click setup it will scan your device,go thru the various screens reading the warnings and checking the boxes, once it starts it will take 10-20 minutes to complete) once it's done you will be back to completely stock.
Optional:
Use revone to gain s-off (if you go with this option once you are s-off you won't need to use HTC-Dev to unlock your bootloader because revone does it for you) A sidenote about revone it will fail several times just press the UP arrow on your keyboard to issue the same command and press enter.Watch the cmd window for instructions to reboot and continue.
or flash a Sprint rom from the Sprint forum
Any other questions or concerns post here or PM me
Good Luck

So I want to upgrade to KitKat, checked stuff out, I need S-Off. Okay, I check out S-Off, I find Revone. Looks easy enough. I take a whack at it, everything goes well, then I do the ./revone -s 0 -u. Nothing. Just reboots. No confirmation, nothing. Okay, so that didn't work. I check out some other threads, it sounds like you should be running 4.2.2 for optimum results. Download CM 4.2.2, flashed with gapps, everything is hunky dory. I go to do my lil revone trick again, and fail again. So now I'm looking for other solutions, and I find moonshine (which doesn't work at all) and rumrunner, which works up to the point that it says "waiting for fastboot," when my phone is obviously IN fastboot. Any solutions? I'd like to finish this up with rumrunner because it's gotten me the farthest. Yes, I have all the drivers on my PC, no HTC sync, I know my stuff well enough to know ADB and fastboot. Help? THANK YOU.
Edit: just gave it another go and it does everything, right up to rebooting into fastboot, but it STILL doesn't recognize it's in fastboot....
Edit2: I just read something else that said KK requires latest TWRP as well, so I'm updating to that in hopes that will somehow help.
Edit3: seems to be a driver problem. Of course I start to find the solution after hours of searching, but only after posting a thingy. But it sounds like other people have been having problems even when they've updated their drivers, so if anyone has any tips for me still, please, by all means.
Edit4: it's a Windows 8.1 problem apparently, which seems to only be fixed by updating to hboot 1.55, which doesn't have an s-off thing. So great. Any solutions?
ALSO I'm on hboot 1.44

if you're on hboot 1.44 (pre June 2013), you can still use revone directly on your phone using a terminal app, such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en or any other one terminal app
but you will need a Sense 5 based ROM (preferably 4.1.2), suggest this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48955645&postcount=250

if you have an OTG cable, you can use that to get the ROM and revone onto your phone, otherwise you'll just have to download them directly on the phone.
revone won't work with CM roms, as far as i know; best chance is with 4.1.2 ROM (Sense 5), the one I linked has worked for myself and well over 15 others by now from the first try.
But make sure hboot is 1.44 and dated before June 2013!!
I couldn't do a thing with Windows. Drivers are never thought so I got myself a copy of 32bit Ubuntu. NOT 64! Put it on a cheque and booted into that. I didn't install it, just ran it as if trying it. Then I got the proper rumrunner for Ubuntu and my device. No need for drivers in Ubuntu. Worked the very first time. You can also run Ubuntu from a USB... Maybe give this a shot
EDIT.... I was on stock, rooted with custom recovery and 1.55 bootloader

It's fine, the phone can be used as MTP and it's easy to transfer the revone file over, it just doesn't do anything past ./revone -P, it reboots and does nothing.

Yeah, I somehow missed the terminal bit. Tried that too now though. I flashed the ARHD ROM, and am using the terminal, but now I'm getting an error code -6 from revone. I'm not even sure if ADB is on, I can't find the ADB setting in ARHD :/
Edit: turns out it's hboot 1.44, March 18, 2013. >.< Trying the Ubuntu method next I guess.

Better to take 1 hour of your time to learn how to use adb/fastboot from terminal instead of using a toolkit. Its really not that hard... Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917237

Another thing, its very rarely that you will actually need to use fastboot commands. Just copy/paste the commands from the guide ur following. Im a PC user and ive never used the toolkit. Just twice or thrice its required to be used.
