[Q] Might be screwed... Need Help! - Sprint HTC One (M8)

so I used the all in one tool and followed the steps to unlock successfully. Then I tried to install a ROM leaving S-On and it failed. Now I'm stuck Unlocked, S-on and I can't seem to install any custom roms and I can't use the RUU utility because I'm S-On.
I have tried loading numerous ROMs via sideloading both in TWRP and CM and they keep failing giving me the following error about halfway through:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
I can hard reset and get into the bootloader just fine, and since it's unlocked I can push recoveries, but I can't seem to make anything else work at this point.
Is there a way to gain s-off with Firewater using just ADB at the bootloader? or is there another way to gain s-off?
Or is there a way I can just go back to stock and start over?
Thanks again for the help in advance!

Need more info.
What roms are you trying to flash?
Are you checking the MD5 to make sure they are good downloads?
As far as I know there is not an official version of CWM recovery.
Have you tried pushing a rom while booted to recovery?
Code:
adb push ROMname.zip /sdcard/

Stuck in recovery/bootloader with no backup

I tried flashing the renovate rom to my sprint one and got a kernal error at the end and it would not boot. I somehow also managed to wipe everything off the phone including the backup so i can even go back to stock. I tried pushing a rom via adb but i can get that to work and when i try use fastboot it says failed and i get a signature verified error. I am really starting to panic because i spent all of last night trying to find a solution and was unsuccessful. I also tried flashing using the ruu but it was unsuccessful but im pretty sure thats because i am on the 1.31 ota and it was a 1.29 ruu because i cant find a 1.31 ruu. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
which recovery do you have installed? if you have TWRP, you could try adb sideloading a ROM.... in TWRP, choose Advanced/ADB Sideload. then you send the ROM to the phone from your computer with 'adb sideload <rom name>.zip'.
if you don't have TWRP installed maybe you can install it from fastboot. there are probably other solutions too, but hopefully this would work. good luck!
Did you relock the bootloader before you tried the RUU?

Having trouble sideloading ROM to fix boot looping

Unlocked bootloader. Rooted. S-ON. TWRP (then flashed to CWM to see if that would work).
I tried flashing a Android Revolution but kept getting error messages so I formatted but like an idiot formated /system/ so now I'm in a bootloop that sends me back to recovery.
I've tried adb sideloading about five different roms, even stock, but I keep getting the error messages "failed to open driver control: no such file or directory" and then "E: can't open /tmp/update.zip (bad)" when installing.
Can anyone help me out? I don't have any nandroid back ups to fall back on because like mentioned before... I'm an idiot. Thank you in advance to whoever is willing to help out.

1- for 4.4 ROMs you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 or higher
2- adb sideload how to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986
3- or you can use "adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/0/"

Soft Bricked m7 on hboot 1.44. How to completely wipe + flash recovery + flash rom?

Hello everyone,
I recently ran into a bit of problem with my HTC One m7 (early model). Back when I first got it I performed an HTC Dev bootloader unlock and ever since I've been flashing different roms through TWRP. The other day I tried downgrading from Android 5 to 4.2 and something went wrong. The Aroma installer for AndroidRevolutionHD hung at 10% for about an hour, and I decided to restart. Upon restart, TWRP greeted me with messages such as
"E:/ cannot mount system" or "E:/ cannot mount cache".
After changing through various TWRP revisions (2.6.1 seemed to remove the system error), I still have not been able to install any ROMS successfuly. I tried different versions of ARHD and ViperROM but they all seem unable to install to some part of the filesystem, and the phone never boots.
Is there a way to gain S-OFF while in this dummy state?
Is there a way to flash over everything and get a clean recovery and rom working (through fastboot/terminal)?
All help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

1- recovery is too old, you need at least 2.6.3.3 or higher, you could check 2.8.6.4 universal build
2- FAQ Sticky in particular page 3
3- as for S-OFF, if you are truly on such old firmware, then
---> hboot 1.44 dated pre June 2013, you can use this with revone
---> or rumrunner

Thanks for the advice, but after updating to TWRP 2.8.6.4 it still displays " E: unable to mount '/system' ". Tried flashing the stock rom that you linked in that thread but its installer hangs again while "formatting partitions".
If I try to flash a stock recovery, how do I avoid updating hboot? Also is it possible to use revone or rumrunner without access to the Android system? Both guides seem to depend upon Android working on said system.

1- revert back to twrp 2.6.3.3 as mentioned in the faq
2- do the [real] formats in twrp 2633
3- then flash rom (take your pick, adb push, sideload or otg)
4- get s-off (provided the per-requisites are met)

What have you done exactly from TWRP? Wiped /system? Tried to flash a rom? Formatted /data?
download a rom and push it to you internal storage and then flash it using the "install" function in twrp recovery. You won't be able to flash lollipop rom on this phone because the firmware installed is to old.
i don't know how to do this. i can't find software for ORANG001. maybe i can install some custom ROM?
If the phone will be working fine i know how to do s-off, change cid and flash it with stock rom.
Is there any other way to gain s-off except rumrunner?

Your on hboot 1.57. There is only one way to s-off 1.57 and thats Sunshine app. Which cost £25. But before you can s-off you need a functional rom on the device.
You can use this http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_84.0.zip
Download the rom and put it in your fastboot folder and rename it something simple like rom.zip.
If you have twrp 2.8.5.x you should be able to enable MTP in recovery then just copy the rom strait to you internal storage from you pc and install it.
Older versions of twrp don't support MTP in which case you will need to adb push the rom to your device. Instructions below
With the rom.zip in your fastboot folder. Open a adb/fastboot command window. Boot the device to recovery and connect usb. Check adb is working by typing
Code:
adb devices
if you get the expected out put push the rom with
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete. When it's done install the rom with TWRP.
