I have posted a thread about bricking my HTC One a few days ago and actually , I got it finally fixed today with the help of SaHiLzZ!
First of all , thanks man for helping me.
Here's the first thread that I have opened if anyone is interested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52747826
I was finally able to get past the HTC boot logo and use the phone but I also wanted to update the ROM to KitKat 4.4.
I have changed my CID to HTC__001 from HTC__K18 with no effort , however , I failed to change my MID to PN0710000.
I followed this tutorial step by step (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820) , but when I applied the fastboot oem writemid command , there was an unknown error and when I rebooted the phone I got the exact same screen as this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now , I'm unable to access anything!!! I can't even get to the bootloader or recovery which was possible with the soft brick. The only 2 screens that I am able to get now is the gray screen as in the picture above , or a complete black screen (and the device still stays on).
I'm unable to use any adb commands , but fastboot commands still work. However , I'm unable to flash any RUU , rom , CWM , TWRP , boot...
Is there's anything I can do about it?
Here's an output of the fastboot getvar all:
Anyone have any idea what can I possibly do to fix this?
You are on eng hboot. And your device is responding in ruu mode. Run the ruu as long as your fastboot is working.

I tried it , I used the RUU that fixed the soft brick but it didn't work this time.
It can't get past the bootloader stage because it tries to access the bootloader but with no success.

It got worse but I was finally able to change my MID and fix it. After that I reinstalled RUU 1.29.401.2 (I tried to install anything newer but nothing worked , only this one).
I can use my device regullary now.
I have supercid , mid PN0710000 and JB 4.1.2 on my device.
But the problem now is that I'm unable to update the device using any newer RUU (that match the new mid of my device).
I also don't have superuser or working recovery , when I try to flash recovery , I get this error:
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (8758 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.011s
I've tried to flash a few different recoveries but I get this same Unknown error everytime.
How is it possible for me to update from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2/4.4 if I get this same error every time and with no superuser access when every .exe RUU install fails too?

Can you
1- post an updated "fastboot getvar all" (copy/paste would be better than screenshot),
2- a screenshot of your bootloader screen
3- what recovery are you flashing above? have you checked MD5, cause the filesize looks a bit small,
4- try using a different USB port / PC.

Thank you mate! I tried using a different USB port and it actually worked!
Although I have no idea why should it work but haha it doesn't matter to me.
I have recovery and superuser as well now but I'm still stuck in JB 4.1.2.
I've tried flashing One_4.19.401.11_odexed.zip through recovery and it failed , then I got a mini brick and the phone didn't turn off no matter what I did for a few hours.
Then I see this craziest fix ever , I stuck it in front of a lightbub while holding power + Vol down for about 15 seconds and it worked! lol!
I'm now able to use it , but can't update it in any possible way.
I tried using an .exe RUU of KK4.4 but it didn't work as well (and it was compatible with my mid + cid).
Any idea what can I do to update my device to 4.4.2/4.4 from 4.1.2? I have access now to everything , the android , recovery , supersu , adb ,fastboot..
Thank you!

Those 4.4 RUUs are very "sensitive", no idea why sometimes they work, and other times give people a hard time (could be anything OS, antivirus, bad download, USB port, etc)
Why didnt you just take the OTAs to 4.4, before installing custom recovery and root? just reflash the 1.28.401.7 ruu.zip, and take OTAs to 4.4.2 then install custom recovery and root
with S-Off, you can keep bootloader unlocked, no need to relock it or anything; as mentioned in the "Not so FAQ #2" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2

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):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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
MODEL: PN07100
SIMLOCK: NO
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.

remember in linux, you'll need to use "sudo fastboot ...."

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?
2- you still haven't answered my question: what is your goal?

1. I still have the "Unlock:code.bin" from HTCDev, so yes, it is possible.
2. My goal is to get a full stock rom for my CID (VODAP102) so i can go and do the future OTA´s.
I bought a used htc one for at&t and it was running 4.1.2. So I tried OTA and it downloaded the s/w, installed it and upon reboot - went straight to something called teamwin recovery (?) screen. I have to chose reboot button to boot the phone back. So I realized it was rooted and am very new to this whole root thing. I wanted to ota upgrade so I googled and stumbled on the following link with too many other links. Since the following link seemed easy, I tried following:
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...actory-settings-for-warranty-repairs-0149204/
But at the step 4 I get the following:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S--ON RH
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, how can i get it back to stock rom?
I read a lot of threads here for this very topic but each one takes talks different steps and am concerned being a noob with all these steps that I might brick my phone.
Can somebody please help me with the steps to get back to stock. I apologize if this was already covered in one of the many articles. Thanks.

this should be simple ..do you have a windows PC ? if so what OS version if windows 7 continue, if windows 8.1 just gather the files below and post your answer.
Download this >> http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
and unzip the fastboot.zip below to your desktop
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
from the fastboot folder you just made do shift+right click / command prompt here. now in the command window paste this
fastboot oem lock
you just relocked the bootloader ...now run the RUU file you downloaded above and your phone will be back to Stock.
Thank you very much for the quick reply.
I already downloaded the RUU RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.12_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_318450_signed_2 as mentioned in the previous link. Should I not use that instead use the one provided by you above?
Just wanted to make sure the steps:
- enable usb debugging on phone
- connect my phone to usb of my windows 7 (with the phone powered on or powered off?)
- from windows 7 command prompt " fastboot oem lock "
- run the RUU file
Please confirm.

Thanks again
I am downloading the RUU.
Do I have to follow the below to do the fastboot?
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...restore-back-locked-one-screen-acting-up.html
Reboot your phone to bootloader (power+volume down) and choose fastboot. Plug in your phone and it will change to fastboot USB. Open a command prompt within the fastboot folder and type the following:
fastboot oem lock
The same link I pasted above says to use fastboot oem relock if it is s-on?
"fastboot oem lock" only works if your device is S-OFF and I am assuming yours isn't which is why it didn't work.
Can you please confirm?

I am still not able to OTA upgrade to kitkat after 48hrs. The bootloader now says relocked. Can I simply enter into fastboot and use the following RUU to get Kitkat?

Thanks.
My phone is currently running 4.3 with bootloader in 'relocked' state. I am still not getting the OTA update to 4.4 and all my attempts to RUU update to 4.4 fails with htc_fastboot.exe has stopped working error. I will continue to do some more research to get there as the camera is useless in 4.3 at this point. Thanks for all your help and we can close this thread.
Fastboot oem lock only relocks the bootloader. You would have been better downloading and flashing revone to s off and LOCK the bootloader
Can you post a fastboot getvar all please removing imei and serial no?

restoring last rom successful, but wont boot past red text
push rom to device fastboot flash zip rom.zip just hangs (i have done this many times in past, it will say failed, too big of file and then ends up working any way.
fastboot oem rebootRUU works, but stil wont flash RUU says battery is dead and it's not
tried usb 2.0 and 3.0 with no luck been running rom that is no longer suported and the updated version that worked best has been deleted from server, so i want to go back to stock. i've tried other roms and was not happy so i just want stock back.

Backup all of your data to your PC, HTC Backup or Google, then do a factory reset. Now, try to flash the stock firmware first then the RUU from this site.

The splash screen has the warning because you have a custom recovery installed not because the bootloader is unlocked. Try to flash the stock firmware with the instructions in the OP. When it flashes, the red warning will go away. Since you are in the bootloader, try to get to factory reset. It may help clear up some of your issues and allow you flash the RUU.

Nothing, i tried flashing TWRP official instead of modified one i've been running from here, i tried flashing 4.3 firmware, i tried flashing 5 firmware ( on modified version of that from OMJ ) and nothing worked
Final attempt was to bypass the htc driver installer i have and install htc sync. Phone started right up after that. Now to restore to stock ( attempt again )
Hi all,
first time poster - looonnng time lurker. Hoping you can help me with my One M7 brick.
Phone had been running slow and sluggish for a few weeks. Yesterday morning, it was particularly slow with apps randomly closing/crashing. Decided to reboot. The phone didn't reboot though; it came back with a white screen and "** TAMPERED *** *** LOCKED****" coming up - a fastboot screen I believe.
I can't get it to boot at all and I've tried accessing it via adb but it isn't detected. 'adb devices' shows nothing however 'fastboot devices' does list the phone. Windroid seems to detect it.
Ordinarily, I would just do a factory reset to see if this helps but my problem is this - I have SMS messages and photos/videos on the phone of my daughter that I really, really, really don't want to lose. They are very precious to me. If it was a case of breaking up the phone then I'd do it in a heartbeat to recover this data.
I've attached some images that I hope may help. A friend has mentioned that some of the lines indicate a problem with encryption on the card which means the data is lost completely - I'm desperately hoping this isn't the case and some kind soul can help.
Thanks

If the phone was encrypted then the only way to recover the phone is a factory reset using the stock recovery which will obviously delete all your files. Any other method that could fix the phone will wipe it: unlock the bootloader to flash a new rom will wipe the phone, flashing a ruu will also wipe it. Thats probably either an encryption problem or a failed emmc chip. I don't think there anything to do to recover your data, especially if the phone was encrypted. Sorry at least the phone might be recoverable...

Well, after asking a company who said they could do it and then said they'd have to wipe it, I've taken it back.
It seems there's nothing I can do about it; I've even tried using guides on here and elsewhere to return it completely to stock but because I can't get adb working, it's a no go. Factory reset does nothing. Trying to use tools and fastboot to change recovery images and all sorts doesn't work either. Seems to be something relating to 'S-ON' as when it's in RUU boot, if I disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, the screen briefly changes from the HTC screen to the white screen showing "Security Failed!" after trying to flash a new image on.
At a bit of a loss!

adb commands only works from a booted rom + USB debugging enabled from the developer option menu or from a custom recovery. So there is no problem here.

What is it doing exactly? You select "factory reset and it boot to the HTC splash sceen? It reboot in bootloader mode? It freeze the phone?

Again you need to be more precise, what doesn't work exactly? There is no fastboot connectivity or there is but the recovery won't flash? Did you unlocked the bootloader?

No, Its not related to S-ON.

I tried from adb and it didn't work :-
<<< C:\adb>fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.005s
- I have downloaded rom from google for my phone model
- I can not ENABLE OEM unlock because I can not get into phone.
- I have tried wiping CACHE AND FACTORY RESET from recovery but it does not LOAD anything after boot and shows error I posted in image above.
lol!
first off, you posted in the wrong nexus 6 forums, as you arent developing anything(besides a headache). secondly, adb and fastboot are different. fastboot is not an adb command! fastboot is a different tool, like adb but different, and you can only use fastboot while you are in the bootloader. secondly, go back for a little and do a little more reading please, then try again.
edit.. good, this thread got moved to the right place.
"Administr4tor, Account currently disabled on Today, 20:48"
Interesting. Why? Is this thread dead now?
Looks like there is no way to reinstall rom again.
what I am trying to say here is
- I can not get into phone
- I can not enable USB DEBUGGING
- I CAN NOT enable OEM UNLOCK.
tell me yes or no if I can reinstall factory image. is it not simple/

You're trying to unlock the bootloader, which requires fastboot, using ADB. Do you have fastboot drivers installed? Or you could just unlock the boot loader with nexus root toolkit.

Thank you for reply,
- I have adb and fastboot drivers installed from xda when I connect the phone it shows connected, Please check the screenshot.
- I just want to flash stock rom, even if its possible to do it without unlocking bootloader, please let me know.
_ i have already tried NEXUS TOOLKIT and tried to unlock bootloader but it failed to unlock it.

You can't install a factory image without a locked bootloader. What did you do to make settings force close on boot?

Sure. You have no possibility to push current version installed as OTA update. Try to push beta Android N for example

My Nexus 6 is stuck at LMY48M & I tried pushing the latest Marshmallow OTA build MMB29X.
You need to flash OTA with newer bootloader. Not each OTA contain newer version. Anything else will not help. Have you tried to push N?
Why is your Nexus reported in Device Manager as a Samsung device? As someone who owns a Galaxy S4 as well as a Nexus, you cannot use the Samsung driver in place of the Nexus USB driver.
Change your driver to the Google-provided version and try again.
