After traversing the internet for quite some time looking up various fixes and such for this issue i dont think i have found one that coveres what im facing with this phone.
After getting to the HBOOT menu i see this info:
*** LOCKED ***
RUNNYMEDE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.28.0006
RADIO-3831.16.00.16_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 24 2012, 18:59:39
Then the menu options.
The person i got this off says they havent done anything to the phone as far as custom firmware goes and seems to be unrooted.
Im wondering if i need to reflash a rom of any kind onto the phone and if i do how do i do this without an external SD card option?
Any help here would be great.

I not sure i understand your problem. Your phone doesn't boot (or boot loop) but you can enter in HBoot and you wondering how you can solve the problem?
If this is the problem, try to flash your phone with a proper stock ruu.
1. Download to your PC the proper stock RUU for your device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128104)
2. Enter in HBOOT (first remove the battery, then, put the battery in the device again and press Volume Down+Power)
3. Connect you phone to PC via USB,
4. Select fasboot mode
5. Flash stock RUU.
Hope it's help.
Regards.

Sorry if my OP was confusing.
The phone does Boot Loop. I can enter the Hboot menu but thats it. If i connect the phone to a pc via USB all it does is charge. I have no access to the storage of the phone itself so i cannot flash anything to the phone.
The furthest I have gotten the phone to 'boot' is i get a momentary glimpse of the home screen background and the info bar along the top then it restarts.
DD
Edit: Further information, The person i am trying to fix this for said that the USB Debug mode isnt on, if that helps.

You don't need to have storage access to flash the phone. With RUU you flash the phone trough PC. You only have to acess"fastboot mode" trough HBOOT. But you must have a proper connection with PC, so you must install the correct driver.

Proper connection being what exactly? I cant get the Fastboot USB to display, but the pc only seems to find the Andriod 1.0 Device driver and nothing else happens.
Im sorry for being a git on this front but ive never had to use this approach in fixing a phone before.
DSD
Also I dont know the CID for the phone either. So at this point i dont know which RUU I need...

Install HTC sync for Sensation XL on your PC to have the correct driver. You can get CID with a tool named "Runnymede AIO tool by Anders3408", but to use this tool you must be connected in fastboot mode and have an adb connection.
To get adb connection go to this link: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Please be careful: with your first post, i can see that your bootloader is locked. So you can flash a stock RUU without problem. Never try to flash a phone with an unlocked bootloader (can brick your phone)

Hello
First off, thank you in advance. Now to the matter.
My One is completely stuck on bootloader. I tried almost everything but no luck. If i let him do normal boot, it just shows me a black screen and reboots again, over and over. After the update i cannot get acess to fastboot because windows (8.1) tells me that the device is not known. Before the update it was all ok (i had OTA 4.3).
I cannot install a custom recovery, i cannot install anything. Tried to find a RUU.exe for my CID/MID but without luck.
The strange think is that after i update to latest kit kat, i got this (text in red):

I can´t do "fastboot getvar all" because i have no acess to fastboot commands.
The only thing i can do is put he phone to charge and pray to the XDA gurus
CID: VODAP102

Anything you need to help me out, just say so and i´ll try and do my best.
Thank you

whatever you do don't s-on...
will be easier to recover from.
did you relock your bootloader for any particular reason?
Oh, and don't worry - Win 8 has problems with 'talking' to your device when it's in bootloader mode.
Your phone isn't bricked. Just don't be fiddling about with it until one of the guru's with this type of issue gives you some advice.
If you have another computer or a friend with Windows 7 it won't be hard to fix at all

1- the red OS line, is because your firmware flash didnt go through, whether you did it manually or not.
if you do it manually, you do:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <- yes TWICE, if you don't do it twice you'll get the red OS line
fastboot reboot-bootloader
2- your hboot should work with Win8.1, what does it show up as in device manager? anything like this:
3- or just use an Ubuntu Live USB (no need to install, just use Try Ubuntu)

1. I tried that method before because of the bootloop and did it twice with success. Maybe something went wrong.
2. Thats the strange thing. Hboot 1.55 should indeed work but it doesn´t. And yes, thats exactly what it shows. I tried to enter security mode on win8 and do the unsigned trick, but as soon as i change to modified drivers, my mouse and keyboard stop working, so its a no go.
3. Will test that, but i dont know exactly how to mess good with linux.
And for all of you, thank you for your time. Will update as soon as i find something new.

reflash the firmware, to get it out of "limbo"
sudo fastboot oem rebootRUU
sudo fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip
sudo fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip <- yep TWICE
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader
then firmware will be back, and you can reinstall custom recovery, and flash ROM

I think i won´t be needing Ubuntu. My laptop has 1 USB 2.0 port and i could make it recognize my One.
Will try those steps now.
Will i be able to go full stock from there?
Update: I did the firmware flash sucessfull. Now whats next?

Well where do you want to go?
BTW: i checked your first post (it doesn't say what you want to achieve), but FYI you are S-Off, so no need to LOCK/RELOCK bootloader to flash in ruu mode!!
In aviation terms: "Kindly keep you bootloader unlocked, if you are s-off"
Update 1: Tried to flash TWRP recovery but it tells me "FAILED (remote:not allowed)
So now i am stuck in bootloader because i can´t install a custom recovery.
I want full stock rom.

1- like @nolimit78 said, you will have to unlock bootloader (you shouldnt even have locked it in the first place), can you do that? or do you need alternate methods to do that?

1. I still have the "Unlock:code.bin" from HTCDev, so yes, it is possible.

Hi there, I currently have an HTC One M7 with Tmobile UK firmware and I am fed up waiting for update to KitKat and Sense 6. I understand that this is the correct place to ask a question on how to change the software so that it will take HTC official updates rather than tmob approved updates.
From what I have read I need to s-off with firewater first and flash a recovery. Is that correct? Does anyone have step by step instructions on what to do please as I do not want to brick my phone? I would like to install the "normal" HTC software and receive updates from HTC rather than wait for tmobile.
Thanks

once installed, reboot your phone to fastboot mode, basically restart it and whilst its shutting down hold down the volume down button, you will enter the bootloader, plug it into the computer and select fastboot on the phone screen, if its not already there, its should now say fastboot usb.
Open a command window in the fastboot and adb window you have just installed on your computer, (control + shift + right mouse click on any white area in that folder, open command window here)

perfect :good:
Right your on hboot 1.55 s-off should be easy, boot back to android, type fastboot reboot in the command window (if you've not already rebooted that is)
use either rumrunner to s-off http://rumrunner.us/
or
Firewater to s-off http://firewater-soff.com/
Do not update before getting s-off, follow the instructions on each of the sites to use the tools, rumrunner is the easiest, just download the package, extract it and run the file, firewater is a little more complicated.
once done, report back here, there will only be 2 more steps to do after that, but keep adb and fastboot on your computer, do not remove them.
Many thanks, I am getting an error though
ahh ok try firewater temp root method, its the 3rd method down, you will have to download 2 files and put them in the same folder as fastboot and adb, where you open the dos window from, the whole thing is run from the dos window, so just copy and paste the commands one at a time as listed on the page.
ahh do you have USB debugging enabled on your rom ?
Thanks, it is attempting to acquire root just now. Will update when complete.
Thanks, I have temproot and s-off now.
excellent, now that you have s-off, you have to be very careful, if you flash the wrong thing, where the phone will stop you and tell you its wrong with some sort of error with s-on, it wont anymore, it will expect that you know what you are doing and still flash it, if its wrong it will brick.
---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
so fist all, if your phone is booted into android still, open a dos window again inside the fastboot / adb folder as before and again, type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
once there, make sure to says fastboot USB on the phone screen.
then be very careful with this one, CID is ALWAYS 8 characters long, bear that in mind with the next command, so the next command is 2 underscores not one inbetween the HTC and the 001. always capital letters, take note of your current cid though, you will need it for warranty purposes.
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
when complete:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------
Its should now say this on your screen or something close to it:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF ??
CID-HTC__001
HBOOT-?????????
RADIO-??????????
OpenDSP-?????????
OS??????????
etc etc etc, can you confirm please ?

Hi All,
I just unlocked the bootloader on my m7 (at&t) and I was following this two guides http://www.android.gs/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-for-the-htc-one/ and http://www.androidegis.com/how-to/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-for-htc-one/ for installing TWRP.
I downloaded the file which is pointed in both tutorials from http://d-h.st/3ST and copied boot.img as indicated to fastboot folder and then ran "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" fom the CMD console. I rebooted the phone, selected recovery and it's stuck in Entering recovery. I guess boot.img is not the correct image.
I also noticed a flag "Tampered" on the top of the boot loader.
Hope you can help me, many thanks in advance,
Nicolas
Edit: It's not rooted, it was the next step to do.
Edit2: I tried once again holding the power button + VolumeUP and the phone is back to life. I wonder if the .img that I loaded is not the correct one. Could you advise and tell me what are the next steps to follow now?
Cheers

Download this file http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img and rename it recovery.img and place it in your fastboot folder. Boot the phone to the bootloader and connect fastbootusb
Then in the command window type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then try entering recovery again.

Does it still show correctly in your pcs device manager. Sound like drivers need to be re-installed see 2)Q in this faq post to fix your drivers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2 If there installed correctly and you still have this error. Make sure you command line is opened at your fastboot folder.

I've been playing around with drives, uninstalling, installing, etc but no joy yet. The driver which can't be installed is HTC MTP Device but the FAQ you pointed me does not cover this one.

The MTP driver is not required by fastboot, does your device show as My HTC in device manger.
Are you sure you have your command prompt using your fastboot folder as the working folder?

Try a different cable if you've got one or a different usb port. also make sure your bootloader is in "fastbootusb" mode and not "hboot" mode.

@Nikouy if you have HTC sync manger running close it. Right click on the small icon by your clock an select exit.

Got it working, will update shortly.
Thanks for the quickly updates. Will deploy the img you pointed me before.

Successfully loaded. I am able to boot into recovery now. Phone rooted.
Multiple things happened here:
1) Drivers issues
2) The cable I initially used two unlock the bootloader isn't working anymore with fastboot.
Edit: should I set S-ON to OFF?

Nice to know you got it sorted. :good:
It's always better to be s-off, but I would spend some time getting to know the device first.
If you flash something wrong with s-off, you could brick your phone.

Hello,
I while ago I decided to root my HTC to get some extra stuff. I used a guide on youtube that seemed to be reasonably well made and followed everystep of the process. But before I could root it I had to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I got the latest version and proceeded to the next step, where I encountered my problem. After flashing the recovery everything seemed to be well except that my phone wasn't actually rooted. I decided to redo some of the last steps. This is where things get a bit tricky. I have done this quite a while ago (maybe 3-4 months) and don't exactly remember the steps that I repeated but I think I've also flashed TWRP a second time, as well as some other steps. And when it came to the part where I needed to use the recovery I found out that the recovery doesn't work. I can't press anything on the screen, I can however press the lock button and lock the device but when the *slide to unlock* appears it stops working again. I was running out of time and decided to leave it for another time but time has passed and I never really got the time to tinker with it any more since university started and I'm more busy then ever. This has left me with no ability to root or even update my phone.
This brings me to today, when I restored my phone completely forgetting what has happened. It got back to Android 4.1 and I can't do anything about it.
I hope to sort this out and finally root the phone. But even getting rid of TWRP to the original recovery so I could just update my phone would be very helpfull.
Thank you very much.

The background information is helpful but you have given us nothing to go on.
Post a fastboot getvar all except remove the imei and serialno?
What are you trying to accomplish? Return to Stock? S-OFF?

Tell me what background information do you need and I'll get everything.
The goal is to get a working recovery, which ever one it would be I don't really care. I just want to be able to update the firmware.
reboot into the bootloader. flash the latest twrp for your device using fastboot flash recovery recoverynamehere.zip
profit

If you could give me a more detailed guide I would toatally do that, because I'm pretty noobish when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Do you have HTC drivers installed?

I don't know what adb is, sorry. And no I don't, I had to do everything on my friend's laptop because it didn't seem to work on my machine (W8.1 compared to his W7).
Edit. But I do have acces to it pretty much all the time.

you can flash twrp 2.6.3.3
download the file and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot
then open the command prompt and with the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode enter these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
What do you want to achieve then? Custom rooted rom? stock rooted rom (latest version)? or you simply what to root the rom you currently have?
