Need help getting my phone working again.

Hi all.
I have CWM Touch installed, but I can't run ADB Sideload to flash a ROM. I just keep getting an error that the device can't be found. I have no OS installed, so my phone won't boot up. I can't access the phone's memory as that doesn't work with the One. I also can't flash a RUU to return to factory settings as I have S-ON and am on HBOOT 1.54.Is there anything I can do to fix this and get my phone back working?
Many thanks.

First try to reinstall you Drives for ADB and HTC so you know it's not a Driver issue. If that doesn't work try using a different PC and see if you still get the same issues.
And also try using HTC One AIO to flash TWRP or something to see if you can Sideload a rom then. Because AIO toolkit uses the fastboot menu to flash Recovery images.
If you can flash a different Recovery then try to flash a rom and see if that works.
If not let me know what the results are

Got it! Thank you. I reinstalled the drivers. Weird though because ADB was working fine before. The drivers must have corrupted or maybe it's a Windows 8 issue. Sideloading the ROM now, will let you know if it is a success.

[Q] Boot Loop D:

Hello friends, I'm new here. The name's Jay. I hope to make good acquaintances here
Now for my problem: my One is stuck on a boot loop. It boots fine into the bootloader and recovery. I tried using the 1.29 RUU and the latest RUU (version 3.x) but still after a few mintues of booting into the OS it would restart. I've tried factory reseting and wiping the caches but no cigar.
Some back story: I originally had the phone rooted but with stock ROM and bootloader (using CWM recovery). All was good until one day my phone was not getting any service (there was an x on the signal indicator). I tried restarting my phone and thats when the boot loop started. I, ofcourse, backed everything up via adb (so no problem there) then tried resseting, changing ROMs (cyannagem) and it still rebooted a few minutes after the OS loads. On the sprint ROM, it always says system is unresponsive and it crashes.
Is my phone dead for good?

Phone is not dead for sure.
Which os were you on? Did your father get 4.3 update?
Hboot version?
Does ruu go through completely. If not check drivers

IWhen i brought the phone (July 2013) HBOOT was on 1.4x (something close) and i think 4.2.2 android. That rooted fine, until i had the boot problem. After trying the latest RUU 3.x (and it did go through all the way both the 1.29 ruu and 3.x) HBOOT is now at 1.5x and android is (i think) at 4.3 (it doesn't stay on lopng enough for me to check the andoid version).

Boot into Bootloader mode by using power button and volume down key.
Install drivers for HTC one on a different computer. HTC should show as MyHTC in device manager.
Then close all other programs on the computer and run 3.04.651.2 RUU from here
Good Luck.

at this point lock your bootloader again to run RUU.
Command to check if fastboot recognizes your device:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock

[Q] Restore Stock ROM

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.

Fastboot getvar all output? Remove Imei/sn
Adb/fastboot working?
sent from my mobile device

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?

[Q] Soft brick(?)/usb drivers issue

Hey all! I'm having some big problems getting my phone working. I was running Venom One rom for a while but then decided to try out something else and installed the CM 11S. Again phone worked perfectly but I got used to using Venom so I wanted to go back to it. And that's where I fu**ed it I think... I've installed the rom (I'm using T.W.R.P 2.7.1.1, standard cache and data format) like previously and again everything went smoothly with no errors. However, when I restarted the phone it got stuck on HTC logo. But it wasn't stuck like you couldn't do anything, I could lock the screen and when I unlocked it it would present me with the usual lock screen, time, taskbar etc. but when you unlocked it it went back to the HTC logo after a while an error popped up saying that the htc dialler was not responding. I haven't came across something like that ever before... So I went back to recovery and flashed the system again and again I had the exact same issue. So then I went and formatted everything including my internal storage, and that's where I made the biggest mistake. I forgot that I had the rom zip on internal storage and I'd lose it if I format the partition. No problem you'd say BUT I can't copy anything onto the phone.
When I connect the phone to my PC in recovery mode it just refuses to mount!! No matter which partition I want to mount, nothing comes up in my computer. I went on to the device manager and surely enough the HTC One is an unknown device... I tried side-loading the rom but the adb can't connect to the phone. I tried re-installing the HTC sync just to make sure I definitely have the usb drivers but still no luck. ADB devices command shows no devices connected. I've run out of ideas and I'm regretting my decision to try different roms...
I really don't want to buy a new phone so if anyone has ANY ideas please right it down. Thanks in advance!

don't worry, you'll not have to buy another phone. Your issue is one of the most common issue we see here. First I will recommend you to use twrp 2.7.1.1 only to flash CM11 based roms and use twrp 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for any Sense based roms.
You will first need to fix your drivers issue so you can adb push or adb sideload the rom to your phone again. there is a guide linked in my signature (nkk71's guide). In this thread, there is instruction (in the FAQ #2) about how to solve drivers issues.
When your drivers issue are solved, flash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in twrp 2.6.3.3 and adb push or sideload venom and hopefully it will be able to boot and it will be stable.

The only weird thing is, I used the 2.7.1.1 to flash the sense rom in first place and everything worked fine :/ . Anyway, thanks for the shout! :good: I'll give it a try right now and see how it goes.

Right, I'm having problems installing the drivers for some reason. The ones downloaded from this thread don't seem to be doing anything at all. When click on them they show up for a split second in task manager and then they disappear. No install wizard no nothing. So i downloaded the ones for Windows 7 from here but this just gives me a message that "Windows could not find driver software for your device." . I mean, what the hell?
Edit: Right, after a lot of struggle I've managed to successfully bring my phone back to life! I have no idea what caused the issues with installing the drivers. I've spent ages deleting every trace of HTC drivers, then installed Windows 7 ones and somehow it worked. Then flashed t.w.r.p 2.6.3.3 and venom and it seems to be working smoothly! Hopefully no more problems . Thanks a lot for helping out man!

My phone is stuck on the white HTC screen/ bootloop. CM11

I made the mistake of installing the ElementalX kernel on my phone, running CyanogenMod 11. I flashed that kernel. It said to let it reboot, and now it is stuck on the white HTC screen. I tried to factory reset it, but it doesn't work.

nope factory reset wont work, you will need to download and reflash cm11 or take out the boot.img from the cm11 zip and flash that, elemental kernel is for sense and GPe rom's only.

See, that's the problem. I can't access ANYTHING at all. I'm in CWM recovery right now and I have NOTHING in my storage. When I try to install zip, there's not directory, or anything. My computer won't recognize my phone. I flashed tinykernel last night, and I heard about ElementalX and flashed that over it. After the AROMA installation, my phone's screen went blank and now it is stuck on the HTC screen. I can't flash anything at all.

try flash the latest twrp recovery: https://dl.twrp.me/m7/twrp-2.8.6.0-m7.img
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache (this is important)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now try and enter recovery, main recovery screen only, plug your phone into your computer and see if it opens up on your computer.
Could you also post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number please.

My computer doesn't recognize my phone. It's the one thing that's annoying me.

not at all, not even in the bootloader fastbootUSB mode ? which HBOOT are you on, it will say in the bootloader ?
also, does device manager show anything at all, unknown device or one or anything to do with your phone at all ?

Check out Q1 and Q2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2
be sure to read all of Q2 properly, it may not seem relevant at first.

I got to install TWRP recovery and erase cache. The only thing left is for my computer to recognize my phone so I can flash a custom ROM.
