Can't Mount Cache, Can't Load ROM

So, was trying to troubleshoot a problem this morning and I've done something to send my phone sideways.
I'm currently S-OFF, Unlocked, and CID 11111111
Firmware is 4.19.1540.4
I have no OS installed and when I try (ARHD 51), it fails when it tries to set permissions. I then go into recovery and try to wipe cache, etc and I get the Unable to Mount Cache problem. I exit out of recovery, whether to reboot to Bootloader (or whatever) and it tells me that I need to install SuperSU. It gives me the same Unable to Mount Cache message and it kicks me out and send me back to Bootloader.
I'm sure I'm just missing something. Any advice?

what recovery and what version are you using when trying to flash arhd 51?
With s-off you could simply downgrade hboot and then use the latest .1540 ruu.exe and apply ota updates to make your phone functional again

just download this file and save it to your adb/fastboot folder. reboot your phone in bootloader mode and select fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name_of_file>.zip
fastboot flash zip <name_of_file>.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then run the .1540 ruu from htcdev here (the latest ruu is 3.22.1540.1)
you'll probably need to setback your cid to BS_US001 to receive ota updates (irc 3 updates to latest version)
Code:
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and make sure you are not using windows 8.1 to run the ruu. windows 8.0 should be fine but i recommend you to use windows 7. If you are on windows 8.1 and you can't have a win 7 pc then use the ruu.zip method instead the ruu.exe

Wouldn't a fastboot erase cache fix that??

[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.

Dear, i'm sorry for that
yes, we agreed before for waiting...
but the HTC MEA always lier

thank you very much dear

Converted to GPE

I have recently changed my MID and CID of my HTC One to enable me to flash a GPE RUU. Everything is currently going fine, however I am unable to unlock the stock Google bootloader, meaning I am unable to root and flash a custom recovery. I have tried fastboot oem unlock, and have also tried flashing an unlock token from HTCDev, all with unsuccessful results. Could anyone suggest what to do next as I would like to flash some mods to add to the HTC to make it better.
Thank you.

Known issue, basically you're stuck.

Are you s-off? Then you can unlock by other means.

I have just come across this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
Would I not be able to reflash the pre-rooted GPE RUU in that thread or would it need to be rooted in the first place?

Do you have root in your current rom? If so grab Flashify from play store and use it to flash twrp recovery img.

I have no root privileges at all. I have tried downloading SuperSU and Superuser from the Play Store and neither have been able to install binaries. I have s-off, so what other methods could I use?

Ah, then we'll play a little trick. Since you're s-off you can flash unsigned firmware, so here's a firmware.zip that contains only TWRP recovery.
firmware_twrp.zip
Download the file (hit Ctrl-S to download the zip after clicking the link) and flash it via fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware_twrp.zip
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After reboot select Bootloader, then select Recovery and you'll boot into TWRP. From there you can flash SuperSU.zip to gain root or mods, etc.

Open a command window from your adb/fastboot folder and type:
Code:
fastboot flash twrp-2.8.7.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
To flash supersu:
Download lastest stable supersu (supersu2.46)
