I rooted my HTC One and I tried to flash a custom rom. I don't think I make a backup. It keeps saying that the flash failed. I can't transfer a new rom onto my phone to try to flash it. Any suggestions?

"cannot read" as in MyFileNameIsWrong? or ??
start by: adb devices and see if recovery is in sideload mode, then use the correct filename.

which version of TWRP, seems some have problems with adb, try 2.6.3.3 http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7

and Windows 8.1 is not the best OS for this, is your hboot 1.55+, otherwise fastboot will probably not work.

So I'm going to ASSUME:
1- you have an M7_U or UL
2- you now have TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed
3- the ROM your flashing is exactly the ROM you want and is fully compatible with your device and your recovery, and I know this because of
4- you have made sure the ROM download isn't corrupt
anything else I should be assuming
how about you post a "fastboot getvar all" excluding IMEI and s/n, and answer the above questions.

I apologize for the lack of info. This is my first time rooting and I thought I had read everything thoroughly and knew how to do it. I am not very fluent in DOS so that also confuses me. My phone is a M7_UL. I am still using TWRP 2.6.3.0, I could not figure out how to install 2.6.3.3 I am trying to flash CM11 rom that is for the HTC One. I can't post a getvar because my device is not recognized now. I will keep trying and will post it when I can

Hi,
I have a Sprint htc one that I had previously unlocked, rooted and installed twrp and cm10.1 on. I was trying to restore the factory rom and now I can't boot up. seams like i have deleted all OS'. I can open the bootloader and twrp. I can not find any zip in twrp to reinstall cm10 just to get the phone working again. I have tried the adb function in twrp but it keeps failing. i have also tried to install the RUU file but can not get it to work. it states that my device has 1.31.651.2 and the RUU I'm trying to use is 1.29.651.7. Is there somewhere I can download the 1.31.651.2 image version. Or is there another way to unbrick my phone.

1) Get into bootloader (Power and volume down)
2) go to fastboot
3) Copy the recovery you want to the directory you use for abd and rename it recovery.zip
4) fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip
5) Run fastboot erase cache
6) Then open recovery
7) Go to sideload and sideload a ROM you want. Make sure that is for SPRINT HTC ONE
8) Reboot and good luck

I think the safest at this point where FASTBOOT recognizes your devices but ADB doesn't is to go back to stock flashing a RUU this only requires FASTBOOT.

That isn't working either. the only RUU file I can find is for 1.29.651.10RUU instead of the 1.31.651.2RUU. I have tried running it anyway hoping to limp it back to life but it won't take it. I really need the 1.31.651.2RUU. but can't find it.

windows 8.1 has a driver problem on a really old hboot 1.44
and it was only a problem for a very few. The phone was updated to hboot 1.54 just weeks after the release of windows 8.1 and it works fine.
If you are on hboot 1.44 and you only have use of a windows 8.1 PC their is a driver hack that will work and get your phone working long enough to update the hboot.
File > http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2500592&d=1389122072
Instructions
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

OK you have a t-mobile phone that's a good thing
Boot the phone to the bootloader by shutting it down then holding volume down and hit power
now with the phone in fastboot USB / hooked to the PC
type fastboot devices
you should see your phones serial no displayed
now just type fastboot flash recovery with a space at the end
now just drag TWRP 2.6.3.3 into the command window and hit enter. this will flash twrp
now type fastboot erase cache
followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader
now you can enter recovery and use adb to push or sideload a rom to your phone

Unlock the bootloader at HTCDEV
then from fastboot USB
Flash recovery TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then sideload this Rom to your phone
http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

You should note that you windows is not showing the file extensions of your files in the sdk folder that's why you get the error when you rename files twrp.img is actually trwp.img.img
you just can't see it so be careful when renaming files and adding the extensions, their already their just hidden

I had a read around the forums and you said it was because default.xml was edited or modified. So how would I restore the original. I know nothing about phones.

Do you have adb/fastboot and latest htc drivers on your computer? We will need to see the output of "fastboot getvar all" command so we can determine what you need to do to take the ota or to restore the phone back to stock.
When posting the output of "fastboot getvar all" edit out the imei and serialno.

What do you mean by install htc sync, then uninstall it but keep the drivers installed?

You only need to install htc sync because it will install HTC drivers at the same time. HTC sync can interfere with what you'll need to do that's why you have to uninstall it after. Just uninstall HTC sync and drivers will still be on your computer unless you uninstall them manually.

go in windows devices manager, is your phone listed as ''Android USB Device --> My HTC'' or something else?
Are you using USB 2.0 ports directly on the computer? (no external hub?)
cannot find "android use device" but i am connecting directly to the pc

It won't connect to my laptop (Windows 10) although the USB in and out sounds do play
The HBOOT is 1.54.0000
The version of TWRP is v2.6.3.3
It's S-On
The HTC doesn't take micro sd so how do I put an os onto it?
Any recommended os files?
Go to bootloader > fastboot and flash the latest TWRP ( https://dl.twrp.me/m7/ ), then reboot to recovery and choose "Mount", check if MTP is ENABLED. Connect to your laptop and copy flashable ROM zip into TWRP folder. Then flash it.

You must have fastboot & adb binaries installed on your pc ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 ) install it with "create shortcut" option enabled. Download the TWRP image, rename it to "twrp" and place it in your fastboot folder, then connect your phone to pc, launch the program (use the shortcut) and type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"

By the way, have you ever updated your phone? Bootloader v.1.54.0000 is very old, this version was relevant in 2013 I guess. I recovmmend you to flash stock ROM first, could you type in fastboot "fastboot getvar all" and post the info here?
Phone doesn't connect to pc, the USB in sounds play and the phone charges, but doesn't appear under my computer or anywhere else.

It must connect in fastboot mode but it won't appear in Windows Explorer. You can only flash images via fastboot command prompt

To use fastboot commands your phone must be booted in bootloader mode with the red "fastboot usb" caption showing. If you don't see "fastboot usb" in red then your drivers are not installed correctly. Make sure you have the latest HTC drivers version installed on your computer and also that you don't have htc sync installed. Once fastboot is working, please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (Don't post your imei/sn).

Flash this rom with twrp: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-709-1-zip/
This will reset your phone back to stock rom (select "yes" for stock recovery and stock radio. Select "no" for root).
Then take all the ota updates untill you are on the latest one and from there you can root the phone again if you need.
