Device stuck on black HBOOT with no custom recovery and fastboot is not working

I am in a massive dilemma at the moment. I recently upgraded my phone using a stock RUU and was unhappy with the way it was working, due to no mobile data. I have been trying to apply a new RUU to my phone but it is not working, I have recently found out that my bootloader is black and that fastboot does not work at all.
When I request a device list in CMD nothing happens and CMD just prints a new directory line, and whenever I issue a command it just says <waiting for device>. I understand that without fastboot I will be unable to install a custom recovery and therefore unable to install a new ROM. I have tried my laptop and a desktop computer and they both do not work, so I'm guessing it is the phone even though I am able to send adb commands.
Any help is appreciated.

Hmm...are you able to boot into the recovery? If yes just restore it with the backup you hopefully have made

Unfortunately there is no custom recovery installed, I can load recovery but it just shows a black screen.

Oh yeah forgot sry

Does the pc make any sound when you plug in your device ?

Device is recognised while running android and makes a sound, but when in bootloader the computer makes a sound but I get an error message saying that the USB device is not recognised.

make sure that you have the latest driver installed and usb debuging has to be on (settings/devoloper options)
---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------
you said that fastboot isn't working at all so you aren't able to flash for example a custom recovery
you can use adb commands to enter into recovery and to copy a rom zip to your device
then you should be able to flash the custom rom
perhaps this can fix your problem

Drivers are installed and USB debugging is on.
I've already tried adb reboot recovery and it doesn't work just shows a phone with a red triangle so I'm guessing there is no recovery installed, so I'm in an infinite loop.

Can You post a photo of your black boot loader screen please.

My ADB commands work fine, it is fastboot that doesn't work. I completed your steps anyway and it didn't help.

Yeah just really confused as to why my computer recognizes the phone while on android o/s but not on bootloader.
Another thing to note is that fact that when I enter FASTBOOT it does not display FASTBOOT USB straight away. I have to press either one of the volume keys and then it switches to FASTBOOT USB.
Here are some pictures of the error message I get in Windows.

Another update, while checking through the settings on my phone I realised that there are two settings for USB debugging. One is for HTC Sync Manager and the other is from Developer options, shown below;

I then checked Device Manager to see if their were two devices, and their were.

So I'm guessing that when I boot to FASTBOOT it is trying to read the CD Drive and it is unable to read it. I have tried to deselect the HTC Sync debugging but as soon as I do the developer debugging also deselects and vice versa.

Your phone appears to be stuck bewteen two firmwares hense the os showing up in red in your bootloader.
would I be correct in assuming you did the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip
fastboot reboot
as opposed to:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip
fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip <- yes it has to be done twice, the first one will report failed, the second should succeed.
fastboot reboot

If your asking about how I installed my current ROM, I downloaded a RUU exe and installed from my desktop.
If your asking me to try those steps now, I can't. FASTBOOT does not respond.

Recovery Mode/Boot Screen Loop

Hi all,
I have an HTC One M8. I bought it used and run a AT&T sim on Straight Talk. Previous owner had rooted it. I was trying to get the 4.4 updates and Sense 6.0.
The phone was already running HD Revolution 12.1 and Android 4.2.2 with TeamWin Recovery Partition v2.5.0.0
I downloaded and installed Android_Revolution_HD-One_71.1.zip.
I've run it several ways:
1. First w/o wiping from TWRP. (Factory reset settings)
2. Installed w/o "Wiping Userdata Partition" and then tried "Wiping Userdata Partition" from the HD Revolution installer.
3. SuperUser by Koush checked.
4. Stops at setting permissions "set_metsdata_recusrsive: some changes failed."
5. Finish
6, Zip Install details say "no MD5 file found".
7. Reboot System and it tells me "Root permissions appear to be lost. Fix root permissions now?" Yes....
Then reboots into white Bootloader screen. Anything selected here takes me to the Recovery page. Anything selected from the REBOOT menu in TWRP takes me to the Bootloader screen.
When this is done it reboots into the white bootloader screen. Any option I pick there takes me to the TWRP recovery.
I'm stumped. Any help /bread crumbs would be appreciated.
Bootloader shows:

I'm actually trying to mount the phone so I can see it from the PC update the TWRP. I downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img but can't see how to load it to the phone.
PC sees the phone from Device Manager as a Disk Drive but it doesn't show up as a drive under My Computer.
I have Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Am I on the right track?

Right now I'm just trying to get files to the phone. Am I on the right track?

You cannot install like that, they have to be flashed via bootloader.
Do you have ABD installed on your PC?
If not you have two options.
OPTION 1
This guide for Windows 7 machine, this is the quickest way IMHO
Download the adb files for your respective PC from here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Once you have downloaded the correct one for your PC (i.e. 32 or 64bit) you will be left with a zip FOLDER named something like this adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130522.zip (this is for 64 bit machine), Unzip it somewhere on your pc
Locate the unzipped folder and you should have/see the following inside
• Eclipse
• Sdk
• SDFK manager .exe
Open up the sdk folder and you will find 6 folders inside, cut the 'platform-tools’ folder , then double click my computer and then enter the C: drive of your PC. Paste this folder here in the C: drive and rename it Andriod-adb.
Then right mouse click my computer and go properties, then go and click Advance system settings located on left hand side this will bring up system properties box, click the Environment Variables… tab (it will open further details) and locate the Environment Variables list scroll down until you find path, highlight this then click edit.
Click mouse in here and scroll right to the end after the last entry
Type the following ;C:\Android-adb (noting only adding the first ; if not already there), if it is already there just type C:\Android-adb. Then hit Ok then OK again and your ADB should now be successfully setup.
To test this
From the windows start button, and in the search programs and files box type cmd and enter, this should bring up a command window.
Plug in your device and type adb devices, you should see it locate your phone
OPTION 2
Or try this, extract the attached file to your desk. place your recovery img in here and in a blank spot here hold the shift key down and right mouse click this should bring up list allowing you to "open command prompt here" then follow instructions below..View attachment 2850273
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have ADB working via either of the above sorted from a
1. Command prompt you should be able to type adb reboot boatloader, if you phone reboots into bootloader go to next step
2. Place the recovery image "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img " in the same adb folder as downloaded in option 2
3. Open a command prompt from within this folder and then type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-m7.img
4. Once sent it should com back to prompt
5. Type fastboot erase cache, then when completed type fastboot reboot
Good luck

fixed!
I fixed it! Per the recommendation I was trying to upgrade TWRP to 2.6.3.3.
I plugged in the phone to the PC via USB and made sure the phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode from the bootloader menu.
I installed "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" on the PC. Running that from the command line (cmd.exe) you type "fastboot flash recovery " then drag the file in. (watch the youtube video "How to install TWRP recovery on the HTC One M8" by ROOTJUNKIE-it will make more sense). In my case it was the 2.6.3 TWRP.img file. That pushes the update to the phone. I already had the HD 71.1 zip on the phone. I installed that via the TWRP install and from there it booted up normally. Had to setup the phone again but my music/pics were still there. Thanks all for the help!

HTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer, either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
You need TWRP recovery 2.6.3.3 on your device.
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms

Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:

In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom

URGENT: HTC One m7 Developer Edition - No OS, only Bootloader and TWRP [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
Accidentally wiped the internal storage and system files, was distracted and on phone with someone else and messed it up. Didn't do a backup because I'm selling the phone and backed up all my stuff to PC before going with the wipe.
Current status:
-Tampered
-Unlocked
-S-On
-Hboot 1.44
-Bootloader with fastboot working
-Recovery TWRP 2.8.0.0. working
-Fastboot recognizes device
-Adb doesn't recognize device
-Have managed to push a stock TWRP nandroid backup for Developer Ediion by mounting. It sits along with the TWRP folder in /sdcard
-Tried RESTORE button through TWRP recovery, can't see the ROM.zip file
-Tried INSTALL button through TWRP Recovery, gets stuck at "updating partition details"
Please help me, thanks in advance.

You will need to unzip the nandroid backup and place it in the <serial #> directory for TWRP to see it. The nandroid backup folder needs to be in //sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/<Serial #>/<Nandroid_folder_name>. You might also change to TWRP 2.6.3.3 it works best with stock roms.

Thanks, i can try this today. If its possible, can you put up a screenshot showing the exact filepath.. Or confirm if what I understood below is accurate.
/sdcard/twrp/backup/serial #/nandroid/<contents of zip file>

See attached pictures, this is the view from the zip. You see there is only one folder in the zip. This folder is extracted out of the zip and it becomes the folder that is placed in the serial # folder. The contents of the folder are shown in the second picture. The serial # is the serial # of your phone. If you don't know it then you can find it in fastboot getvar all.

One more thing. The mount function is very inconsistent. Out of 60-70 attempts.. It mounted only once properly and I could push the stock ROM to the phone. Is there a way to unpack the zip in twrp?

No, I don't think you can unpack the zip in TWRP. Just what is the file you are trying to move? Could you give the name and location where you got the file?

I got it from htc1guru database. Its the M7 TWRP Nandroid Backup CID BS US001 1.29.1540.3 .. Its for the developer edition which is the same as my phone..
Currently the phone only has twrp folder on sdcard.. And inside twrp, there's .twrps
. that's it.. I will have to create a new folder called backup, a new folder with their serial number as its name etc.

That file may not work with your phone it is pretty outdated. Can you post a fastboot getvar all (except for imei and serialno)? So, we can see if there is a better version or way to do the same thing.

Ok I will post the details when I get back home tonight.. Any other ideas? Anyway to get the adb working? I could then use revone for s-off and then RUU from desktop

ADB works in OS if USB Debugging is enabled and in custom recovery. In other words, the phone is in Recovery and attached to your computer you can run the command adb devices and you should see your serial number and next to it "recovery". If you are in FASTBOOT USB, only fastboot will work not ADB. Depending on your hboot you can use revone (hboot 1.4X), rumrunner (hboot 1.54) or firewater (hboot 1.5X) to achieve S-OFF.

Adb doesn't work. I tried adb devices and it would not return any values. Fastboot devices always gave the serial number but not adb. I have hboot1.44 and because of adb device not found I can't push revone too

This is an old method that I used to get S-OFF with revone:
Revone S-OFF on the phone method​Revone Download:
http://revolutionary.io/revone
Big thanks to the Revolutionary dev team. The original thread can be found here.
Written instructions:
 Download the Revone file above and transfer it to your phone (or download on your phone)
 Use a root file explorer and paste the file inside the /data/local/tmp folder
 Open a terminal emulator and type the following:
Code:
[B][I]su[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]chmod 755 revone[/I][/B] (enter) (IF revone doesn’t work, type revone.bin)
[B][I]./revone -P[/I][/B] (enter)
 Reboot
 Open terminal again and type:
Code:
[B][I]su[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B] (enter)
[B][I]./revone -s 0 -u[/I][/B] (That would be a ZERO) (enter)
 Reboot
 That’s it! To get rid of the tampered, or relock, follow instructions below
To remove “tampered”
open terminal
Code:
[B][I]cd /data/local/tmp[/I][/B]
[B][I]su[/I][/B]
[B][I]./revone.bin -t[/I][/B]
These are other commands that you can fill in above to
-u – Unlock the device
-l – Lock the device (as if it was never unlocked)
-r – Relock the device (mark the device as relocked)
-t – Reset the device’s tamper flag.

This wont work. My phone has no OS so I can't get in and download stuff from Play Store. Also the ADB steps listed by you didn't work. ADB devices does not return anything.

Let's get a rom on your phone first. Did you have a rom that you wanted to put on your phone? It should be a Sense ROM.
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better

Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom

@majmoz I'm currently downloading the 1.29.1540.17 from htcdev.com .. This is the same as shown in he getvar all posted earlier. Will push the ROM via adb and post results or errors. Thanks.

That file is a RUU rom zip for your phone. I believe you will have to flash it in bootloader like firmware. Your bootloader will need to be relocked.
Rename file to rom.zip and put in your fastboot/adb folder.
Put the phone in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
After that, type:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Finally:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip rom.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

The phone came with an unlocked bootloader. Then why do I need to relock it. You have given me 2 sets of instructions above.. One is using adb and other is flashing the ruu in bootloader.

this is normally caused by out of date adb. Try updating your SDK or Mini SDK which ever your using.

You may need to format data, Warning:- this will wipe entire contents of your device.
Boot to twrp recovery. Select "Wipe" then "Format Data" you will be prompted to type yes to confirm.
Reboot back to recovery (reboot to recovery is important don't skip it) and push or sideload your Rom then install. Also unless your Rom specifically requires a newer version of twrp. It would be better to use TWRP 2.6.3.3

You can get unlock codes on eBay for for a couple of quid. Although I'm not 100% sure that is the same as SIM lock. Do you have the correct SIM in the phone. What about contacting the service center?
