Bricked after factory reset

So I was really dumb and tried to factory reset my phone while I was on a custom rom and now am stuck in a boot loop. I have been googling around to try and figure out what to do but nothing seems to work. When I try and Hboot an RUU stock file it gets stuck at UserData. I also cannot get into recovery only Hboot.
I am relocked and S-On. Don't know what else to do. Is it beyond repair?

Ok when you run the ruu are you selecting fastboot in the hboot screen ? Does it say USB after fastboot when connected ?

When i hold down power and volume down it goes to the Hboot screen and it automatically looks for the PH39IMG.zip file so no I am not running fastboot but when I do select fastboot it only says fastboot no USB (i do not have it plugged into PC btw).

When you select fastboot , then plug it in the pc and it should go USB , if not you need to install the drivers
If you need the drivers you dl htc sync manager , or dl the toolkit in the dev forum and install them that way .

Fastboot USB is showing up but HTC Sync is saying there are no devices connected, not sure if thats a problem.

Ok did you do this when you ran the ruu ?

HTC sync looks for devices that are powered on...just try and run the ruu..listen to bigtjmc
AND DON'T UNPLUG ONCE IT'S GOING, THE PROCESS TAKES A WHILE...

Well I was actually extracting the RUU image from my PC's temp folder then placing it on my phone to allow Hboot to find it. I am now running the actual RUU software on my PC and it seems to be working. I will update when its finished. Thanks so much for your help.

Right on ,
Let us know what happens .

The ruu is stuck at 34%...I have it plugged in still not sure what to do from here

How long has it been stuck?

Don't unplug it...just let it sit...

sorry guys I was in class and couldnt respond. so right now i went through the RUU recovery steps and it allowed me to re-do the RUU setup. I just redid it thinking my PC may have messed up but I am stuck at 34% again. Any suggestions for what I should do after I recover it again?
edit: forgot to mention that I left it for a few hours while in class and it took me to the recovery setup

Can you get into recovery when it sends you there ?

no I cannot get into recovery. All i can do is get into fastboot.

Right but what recovery setup you mentioned earlier ? Maybe you got a bad ruu download try and re dl it or try a different version.

Sorry the recovery I mentioned was a recovery process the RUU takes you through when an update fails. I also have tried about 4 different downloads to no avail. I have been using this file here

Ok , what Rom did you have on the phone ?

I couldnt tell you for sure I installed it pretty quickly after the ICS update was available. I want to say I installed one of the HTC Holiday or Raider ICS roms because that was available before the Vivid one. Once that was installed I rooted.

Ok one last thing and I will see what I can come up with , the ruu screen when it stopped at 34% what was it trying or waiting on ?

No I can't......I also forgot I am running windows 8, when I use the adb device nothing, any adb codes, or serial numbers don't show up. No matter what is done recovery is not working. I have an s4, it too was in the same state, I was able to download ROM to external SD card, rebooted into recovery mode, and re-flash ROM. That is almost fixed...
If I get a female to female USB and mount the USB somehow will it give it the same effect? If so any suggestions? Or any other suggestions to help me get through this?

Yes, that would be my advice. Go to a site like Amazon, and search for a "micro USB OTG cable". They are inexpensive, and will allow you to use a flash drive with the phone in recovery. Then download a rom onto a flash drive, and install from there.

Thank you for replying!!! How would I get into recovery with no access to the phone? Is there a manual script to get into it? Also I can upload a picture of the only part of the phone I can see if that would help?

Hold down the power button while holding down the volume down button at the same time until the phone reboots. If it does not, use the same procedure while holding the proximity sensor under a bright light (sounds weird but it works!). Phone will boot into bootloader mode, select recovery, and you will be good to go. I'll take a look if you upload a pic, sure

I had something similar, but managed to get in through ABD (windows 7), but also remembering that I was stuck in a boot loop, i wiped cache , re tried and rom loaded and booted. Have a read up on ABD in windows 8, see if there's anthing your missing or specific modded files needed for windows 8 and ADB running, just my opinion

One S - Stuck In Loop After Maximus HD Install

I browsed a few other threads, and tried to update the recovery with the latest version per the advice of a member, and prior to this, it was just stuck at the green HTC screen with the red disclaimer under it. And after flashing the newest recovery TWRP it has begun to loop.
I also cannot boot into recovery now. Only fastboot is working,.
Phone info is:
***UNLOCKED****

CID - 11111111

I believe everything is set for the Maximus ROM to work, but if I am missing something I would appreciate the feedback and help.
Thanks

This is HTC ONE forum not ONE S , you can try with RUU.exe while you're in bootloader or " fastboot oem rebootRUU "

My bad, I was following posts about this ROM and assumed they were discussing the same phone. But it appears that there isn't a S thread, only an X for this model..
This takes me to a silver HTC logo and hangs there... I have fastboot access, but i cant get ADB to talk to the phone. But with fastboot I can push a new recovery img but still not allowing me into any recovery.

If you cant get into recovery donwload a RUU and get your phone flashed with it from FASTBOOT.

Changed TWRP to CWM which is at least allowing me into recovery mode.
Thinking I will have to transfer the files with another android phone onto the memory and try to install the rom again?
Mounting USB fails, it just makes a sound like I have added a drive to my PC non stop every few seconds, and I cant mount anything. formatted it and it seems to have settled it a bit. But I cant do anything with the storage via USB in Windows. Just updated to the latest clockwork for my model and still no success...
With latest version I cant even sideload at the moment.

Ok, sorted that out, apparently the drivers were having issues, and when I manually picked them I became able to communicate with the phone again like normal. This is like hour 8 of the upgrade so far...
Assuming my firmware is also outdated, and from my searching I havent found an easy way to update my hboot and others without flashing a RUU Rom from T-Mobile, any alternatives to doing that?

Pretty sure I killed it. Downloaded the latest RUU from T-Mobile, after relocking the bootloader and turning S-on, it ran fine, completed, rebooted the phone and now its totally dead. No charge light, doesnt turn on at all. And I was just thinking to myself how hard it is to brick a phone since I have yet to kill one with all of my misadventures....oops. We'll see what happens..

Had you read the HTC One S forum, you would have found out that this particular phone can get hard bricked up S-OFF with SuperCID and then a RUU update is ran.

Hard Reset Not Working

Lately my phone has been rebooting itself quite a bit. It seems to be getting progressively worse to the point where if I open any app for more than a minute or two then my phone will reboot. I've tried uninstalling quite a few third party apps but that didn't do the trick. Whenever I try to do a hard reset (whether it's through settings or the HBOOT menu) the phone will shut down and then instead of getting the picture of a phone with the green thing in the middle and a status bar below that indicating the phone is resetting, I get a picture of a phone with a red symbol similar to a hazard sign that will last for about 30 seconds then the phone just boots back up to my home screen. I had put an incorrect custom ROM on this phone about 5-6 months ago but I was able to get the stock Sprint ROM back on the phone and relock the boot loader and the phone functioned fine ever since up until about a week ago when it started rebooting randomly. I have a feeling this may be part of the reason why the factory reset is not working. Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed? Can I do a factory reset by pushing a ROM to the phone through my computer?

If u are s-off then I suggest u download the ruu and run it. If s-off all u have to do is go to hboot and select fast boot and run the program it will reset the phone back to whatever software version it is for the ruu. If your not s-off you will need to get the ruu that matches your firmware. That should fix your troubles if not then you have something faulty with the hardware itself

Ok I am S-ON and here is what I am trying to do. I downloaded the RUU that matches my phone current software from the link below and placed the file in the platform-tools folder after renaming it. When I run the fastboot oem rebootRUU command in the cmd prompt, my phone just reboots rather than booting to the black screen with the silver HTC logo. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Also, my bootloader shows that it is relocked

That is a firmware flashing that will do nothing for u. Here is a link to the newest RUU I can find http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910

Ok I tried that RUU yesterday and couldn't seem to get anywhere because I kept getting error 170 (tried updating drivers, installing HTC sync, etc). Tried again today and got error 170 again, so then I went in my bootloader, then fastboot, connected USB cable, fastboot usb. I then ran the RUU and it said it was going to update my phone. The status bar then said "Waiting for bootloader" and my phone just rebooted itself to the home screen and then I got like error 171 or something (another USB error). I'm kind of running out of ideas at this point. I believe something is wrong with my recovery or I have some sort of bug because I attempted to flash a custom recovery today (TWRP) but when I unlocked my bootloader, I restarted the phone and entered my bootloader again but it still said relocked (even though the prompt on my phone came up giving me the warnings asking if I was sure I wanted to unlock the bootloader) so when I run the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img I get something along the lines of can't read twrp.img or can't open twrp.img (yes I made sure the file is in the same folder that I am running the adb out of). Willing to try any recommendations at this point because my phone is pretty useless as of right now because it restarts every couple minutes. HTC wants $150 to fix it which I told them I'm not willing to pay, rather buy a new phone.

[Q] Perform OTA with non-working screen

I had rooted my HTC One M7-Sprint a few months ago and installed CyanogenMod 11. Worked great. Now I'm trying to get it back to stock to sell it back cause I have a new phone.
I ran HTC One Gurus Rom "Guru Reset M7 Sprint 1.31.651.2" to return to stock with stock recovery. It did appear to work.
I have bootloader unlocked, and am S-ON.
One of the issues is that the Rom won't match the Firmware since all i could flash was the Rom being S-Off. The idea is that once I do an OTA it will update the Rom and the Firmware and I'll match.
But right now that mismatch between ROM and Firmware has my phone working, boots up into stock Android, but with a non-working screen. I'm told when we OTA it will be working again. the rom was 1.31, and from what I see in running Fastboot Getvar All the Firmware (I think that's version-main?) is 5.05.651.2. So I guess it's Cyanogenmod Firmware? Anyway, no match to the ROM version.
How do I get to the OTA without a working screen? I really don't want to buy any sort of hardware and spend a lot of $$, since I'm only going to get about $35 for the phone when I trade it in! I do have USB Debugging on and ADB working. Is there a way to start an OTA from ADB?

Have you tried just flashing the latest RUU? You may have to flash the full firmware first. That would get the phone up and running with the latest release.

Hung applying OTA HTC One M7 Sprint
What I read from HTCOne Guru said (which is where I got the file I flashed) said you can't flash RUU if you're S-ON.
I found a cheap on the go cable, connected my mouse, and got the OTA downloaded. Then I said yes, install it. It restarted twice, then....nothing. Frozen. White HTC screen, nothing.
So I powered off, powered on, it starts loading, I hear about 3 notes of the HTC music as it's restarting, and ....nothing. Still stuck.
I can boot into Fastboot, but not ADB it seems (I can't get ADB Devices to return the device ID but I can get Fastboot Devices to return the ID.)
I've powered down and restarted, and I've tried to get into recovery (shuts down the phone). I've rebooted from Fastboot screen. Nothing works.

All HTC phones come s-on...I don't know where people are getting the info saying you cannot RUU if you are s-on. **Sidenote** You cannot RUU backwards if you are s-on.
The RUU is your best bet to get your device working again.
Remember you need to re-lock your bootloader before running the RUU
