[Q] HTCONE - possibly brick ? Cm11 update issue. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

( I posted this elsewhere, but i guess its beter in the actual HTCONE section) , mod feel free to delete my other one, thank you.
Good afternoon, !!!
First and foremost , I want to thank you all in advance for ANY and help, time & consideration with my current issue. I will try my best to be clear, and give all relevant info here in my first post. Please bear with me, I am pretty good when it comes to following directions, but i havent been able to find a CLEAR solution to this yet, and worried about further screwing up my phone.
** I use a mac. I currently dont have access to a PC, so i am looking for a mac remedy if possible.
I have an HTCONE m7. Tmobile.
- Bootloader - Unlocked
- S- ON
- Rooted
I kept getting a OTA software update notice for 5.14xxx, i understand the install kept failing due to the bootloader being unlocked and/or root. So after being annoyed for not able to get it, i began googling ways to get the update but to no avail. So i decided to do CM11, & recovery which i installed with no problem via, Cyanogenmod Installer.
After doing so, i realized i lost my Tmobile Wifi Calling (Yes, my own fault for not further checking that scenario before doing cm11), The wifi calling is needed 10000%, due to bad service in my apartment. Prior to finding out that cm11 doesnt contain the tmobile wifi calling , I attempted another system update thru the phone, (I assume it was updating cm11).
This is where the problem began, phone rebooted to Cyanogenmod simple recovery ,
1st few times that i tried = "apply update" > choose from internal storage , i searched different folders for the "update" file, but to no avail. The phone wouldnt start up, or install anything , and will just stay on the simple recovery. I even attempted an adb sideload. But couldnt figure that out correctly either.
After a few failed attempts, I tried wiping the phone, cache, factory reset etc. now the phone still stays on simple recovery, and all folders are gone, except for an o/ folder, that contains a clockworkmod folder, which contains nothing.
So now basically,Do i have to eventually get back to STOCK on this phone, to regain tmobile wifi calling ? IF So i need the easiest, mac friendly route to go .
Again, i thank you ALLLLL in advance, & my apologies if this is in the wrong section. Please note ive done my fair share of googling , and reading up on this. But consistently run into a problem.

Here is a TWRP nandroid backup. You will have to put TWRP 2.6.3.3 on your phone. You will unzip the file and the resulting folder you will put on your phone in the following directory: //sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/<Serial #>/<Name_of_folder>. If you are not able to get TWRP on your phone and the folder on your phone then you will need to find a Windows machine. Here is what you will need to do:
** Extract the RUU and grab the rom.zip file. This is the most important file you need from the RUU and afterwards you can delete the RUU exe if you want. To get the rom.zip from your RUU exe file, you just need to run the RUU exe file once, and then when the window is ready and waiting for you to press on the "Next" button, just leave it open and go to your temp folder. I'm using Windows XP SP3 32-bit and my temp folder is located at this path: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp. Now, you will see several files and folders. Sort everything in that temp folder based on "Date Modified" with the most recent folder showing up above all other folders. This is the folder you want. The folder name will be bunch of letters and numbers. Inside that folder you will find several files, but what you need is rom.zip and android-info.txt. Copy both these files and paste them somewhere safe on your hard drive. The android-info.txt contains crucial information about the compatibility of that RUU for your phone.
** Go to your bootloader. Do:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
This will reboot your HTC One and you will see a black screen with a silver HTC logo. Now, you will need to access the rom.zip file and flash it. I have copied my rom.zip to my adb folder located at: C:/mini-sdk/rom.zip. So, type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip C:/mini-sdk/rom.zip
Don't touch anything during the flash process. It will start and after some time, you will see FAILED error. Don't worry; it's the file preparation process if you have firmware higher than that of the RUU. Just do the same command again and the flash process will complete successfully this time. Look at the Command Prompt to know when the flash is complete. At the same time if you look at your phone, you will notice a green progress bar. When the flashing is complete on the Command Prompt, you will notice that the green bar is stuck at about 95%. This is normal. It's just a bug in the progress bar - what matters is the output from the Command Prompt window.
** Then, you reboot. Do:
Code:
fastboot reboot
This will restart your phone. Let it boot up. It might take a little longer for the first boot up sequence. You will then have completely stock software (firmware & ROM). Go to your bootloader and check that you are S-ON/OFF and Bootloader lock/unlock are unchanged from before the RUU rom.zip flashing procedure. You can now also receive OTA updates.

Thanks for the info !!!,
But right off of the top, i am confused. I am currently downloading TMRP nandroid back up, as you said in beginning. Thing is i am unaware how to get that file onto my phone. Since it is stuck on the recovery page.... (DL is going to take a while on this machine), But if this fails, ill probably end up just tossing the phone, as i dont know anyone , nor have access to a PC machine. Sadly.

update - will attempt to push this thru via Terminal / adb will keep u posted !
-Update .. @majmoz well, i got hold of a PC laptop, did an adb / fastboot installed, dl'd the RUU, but i cant find the file from it after running the RUU. I even did cmd - Echo %temp% to make sure i was in the correct temp folder etc. Searched every sub folder there , and no zip files , or android.txt files was found . and i sorted them as u said as well.
Will continue trying tho...
Updated again - Well this time as RUU was installing again, i went to the temp files faster, and found 2 files Rom_01 & Rom_02 both zip files. But was unable to find any android text file. So now im at a standstill.

The RUU Update Window should still be on the computer when you are looking for the files. Once the RUU goes past the first screen, the folder will be erased. You should also sort the /Temp folder by date so the most recent folder is at the top.

Keep both ROM files and save them for future use. Since you are able to use the PC, I would just run the RUU from the PC. Then in the future try to figure out how to run the two ROM files on your Mac. Just start the RUU again and let it do its thing.

Hey hey , good morning. Had some errands to do last nite then fell asleep. Going to attempt this again today . Oh, and i did run the RUU on the PC so thats where ill keep them also.
Will attempt to see if i can even connect to the phone with ADB, it seemed as if i was unable to last nite.
-update I got the phone to load to bootloader, & to fastboot usb I will try now to attempt this after coffee.. =0)

HAHAHAHHAHA ,, Oh man. Ok well being that it was pretty late last nite, and i had just woken up earlier .... I didnt realize that the RUU actually does the entire process on the PC. and that i DIDNT need to use cmd., and adb etc.
I want to thank you a TON @majmoz With my day or two of aggravation , then to just not get it right last nite.. I think i wasnt there mentally to actually read and pay attention.
My phone is in set up mode now. So i am 99% sure it is all good... Again, thanks , i definetly appreciate it !

Glad you are back in business! :good:

@majmoz Hey i tried sending a PM earlier . but i see it never went thru in my sent Messages.
Just wondering if you can help me one last time. As i stated, i MUST have tmobile wifi calling. I initially had my bootloader unlocked months ago, and only rooted it few days before this brick issue.
Now since i did this process to fix the phone, i see bootloader = Relocked.
I dont want to add any custom roms etc, I simple want to root the device again. I know when i just did it , it was quick n easy and simple. But as im googling for the process now, i cant seem to find any that is similar to what i just did a few days ago. The processes seem extremely long. I think i just added a superuser apk of sorts , and it rooted.
Thanks again !

Here is a step by step guide with pictures. This is called the HTCDev method and it is pretty standard. It just looks like a lot of steps but it isn't that bad.

[START HERE][GUIDE] Your Guide To Customize The Sensation XL [GUIDE]

I thought I'd do this tutorial because some people still seem to be having trouble searching the forum for answers, even though the forum is still only small, so I thought I'd put everything in one place, these are all the processes I've followed and they've worked for me, here you will find links to all the useful posts and places to find out what you need too..... Also I'll try to make it a little more Noob friendly too
But as always if you turn your phone into a paperweight, don't come blaming me for it, I've personally done everything (apart from flashing a stock rom and that is because I've never needed to) in the tutorial and its worked for me and worked for the majority of people in here and that is because we know how to follow instructions properly
If you are unsure about doing anything in this tutorial... DON'T DO IT... Ask a question here... But dont ask rom specific questions here though!!!
Now this will be for doing everything on a Windows PC. If anyone else wants to add what to do on Linux, Mac etc please let me know and I'll add them...
Now you've obviously come here because you're considering rooting and maybe even putting a custom rom on your phone. If thats not the case there is no point reading on...
Once you have your shiny new Sensation XL the first thing you will need to do is check the build number because we have noticed that a couple of the latest builds have not been rootable. You can do this by going to 'settings/about phone/software information/more'
Check the second post for details of the builds we know of at the minute that you will not be able to root. The only way around this at the minute is to flash an older RUU (Stock Rom) which we know can be rooted. Details of how to do this can be found at the bottom of this post!!!
Once you've either got a rootable build or you have downgraded and before you actually try to root your phone you will need to Unlock the bootloader!! Unfortunately unlocking the bootloader is the only way to be able to put custom roms on your phone.
You can get permanant root but you won't be able to put a custom rom on your phone, so if you only want root you don't need to unlock bootloader. You will need to use v4 from this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341127 ... Cheers Shingers
But for recovery (CWM) and the ability to put custom roms on your phone (lets face it you do... thats why you're here ) you WILL NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
To do this you will need to go to the HTCDEV website at www.HTCDEV.com then you will need to register an account to be able to unlock your bootloader. Now the Sensation XL isn't listed in the devices that it says can be unlocked so what you need to do is when its time to select your device scroll to the bottom and select 'All Other Supported Devices'. Then you will get the warning boxes pop up asking you if you're sure you want to do it then saying you could void your warranty as well. Once you've clicked ok on those you'll be through to the instructions on how to unlock your bootloader.
Remember how to get your phone into fastboot from the instructions because you will need to do it again, or if anything goes wrong.
But if you follow the instructions properly nothing should go wrong... Its been tried and tested by lots of people...
And just incase you don't remember how to do it... Take battery out and pop it back in, then press volume down and power button together until you see the white bootloader screen and then press the power button to get into fastboot.
Please please please follow the instructions to the letter, because if you don't it WILL NOT work. Its a very comprehensive walkthrough on how to do it so you shouldn't have any problems unlocking your bootloader as long as you follow the instructions... If you're struggling here maybe you shouldn't read any further and leave your phone like stock
Then once you have that done you will need to get root and for that you will need to follow shingers5 tutorial below...
Get the file for rooting here DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip
1. enable usb debugging from settings - applications - development
2. plug phone to pc via usb cable - charge only
3. open extracted zip folder and click runme. thats all. (if experience any daemon hanging problems pls install htc sync and plug in phone so drivers are installed. once done delete htc sync and repeat root procedure) PC will open a cmd screen with prompts that you need to follow. The app does rest... So its nice and easy
4. After root is complete pls visit market and update SU app. once done root will be fully functional and eliminate any future FCs
5. Also as an extra tip you can install SU UPDATE fixer from market to update your binaries to 3.0
ALL DONE
If you're struggling with the above instructions, remember that you will need to un-install HTCsync because it interferes with fastboot and rooting...
Then once you're rooted you will need to put CWM (Clockwork Mod) recovery on in order for you to be able to back up your phone and flash custom roms. The custom recovery by Paul O'Brien is the best one to use and is available to download here... http://android.modaco.com/topic/348973-clockworkmod-recovery-5027-unofficial-modaco-edition/
You will need your phone in fastboot again and you will need to find the fastboot folder on your PC (Windows). When you're in the fastboot folder press the left shift button and right click on the mouse and select open command prompt here. Make sure your phone is connected to the PC and is in fastboot. Also make sure that the recovery.img file that you downloaded from MoDaCo is in the fastboot folder too. Get back to the command promt window and type the following
fastboot flash recovery r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img (Tip: once you get to the r1 bit just hit tab and it will auto complete the rest of the line)
If you can't get the Paul O'Brien recovery installed (apparantly not everyone can) try the Older recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348693
Now you've got root and CWM
A lot of people who have come this far will want to put a custom rom on... unfortunately its not completely straight forward. But again there is a way round round it and you should only need to do it once, when you're coming from a stock rom.
Now there is two ways of doing it, but one of the ways doesn't always work so I would suggest that you do it the guaranteed way, it is a little longer but it is guaranteed to work! And this method is thanks to shingers5 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366238 but I will go through it again here....
1. You cant just flash a custom rom on this phone, firstly you will need the 'Chinese rom' which is here http://hotfile.com/dl/148413075/8990501/runnymede_ax918_111511_101713.zip.html and make sure it is on the SDcard part of your phones memory. Make sure it on the root of the SDcard because it will be easier to find later. Then you will need this rom RCMix3d Runny XL rom from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/56143145/RCMix3D_Runny_XL_v1.2.zip (thanks to benjamin.j.goodwin) and make sure that is on the SDcard too with the other rom
2. Then you will need to download this file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19494357&postcount=18 it is the 'Chinese boot.img' and will need flashing from fastboot again. So put the phone in fastboot and extract the 'boot.img' from the 'boot.rar' file and put it in the fastboot folder on the PC. Open the command prompt again and type this... fastboot flash boot boot.img ... This should only need doing once if you're coming from a stock rom.
3. Once you've done that you will need to get into recovery. From fastboot select bootloader and then look for recovery, it should be under fastboot if its worked correctly. Select that and the phone should then reboot and go into 'CWM' (recovery). Once there you will need to use the volume keys and power button just like when you were in bootloader. Go down and select 'Factory Reset/Data Wipe' and select that, the select yes on following screen. This will take a few mins (don't worry if it looks like its not doing anything). After that go down to 'Wipe Cache' and select that. and then go down to 'Advanced' select that and on the following screen select 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'.
People who have used CWM before will know all that, but I'm putting it in anyway
4. Once thats all done you will need to select 'Install Zip File from SDcard' and then you will get another screen where you go to 'choose zip from SDcard' and the you will see all the contents of your SDcard, scroll down till you can select the Chinese rom you put on earlier (remember what it was called) and then select yes to install it. Sit back and wait another few minutes. Once its done select the 'reboot now'. The phone will then reboot again and start to load the new rom up. This will take a while so don't worry. Now once the phone has started you should get the start up wizard and you will just need to skip through it (don't worry about it being all in chinese... its in english). Not everyone needs to install the Chinese rom, some people can just go straight to the RCMix3d rom and install that, but it doesn't work for everyone, so I'm putting this in because it always works when you do it this way. Installing the Chinese rom should only need doing once if you're coming from a stock rom.
5. Boot into recovery again and goto 'Factory Reset/Data wipe', then 'Wipe Cache', then 'Advanced' and 'Wipe Dalvik Cache' and then go back to main screen and select 'Install Zip From SDcard' and then select 'RCMix3d zip' file and install that. Once thats done select Reboot Now and wait while phone boots up again... and VOILA you now have a custom rom Installed.
6. You could either leave that rom on (its a very good rom) or choose to install one of the other custom roms, read through the first few posts of each rom and decide from there whether you want to install that particular rom, or do what I did and install everyone and see which you like best

Now if you're having problems with any part of this and/or you softbrick your phone, my suggestion is that you stop what you're doing and either see if you can get your phone on and working properly (if so all is well with the world) or turn the phone off and pull the battery out, pop it back in and see if you can get into fastboot, if you can your phone should (I'm saying should, because I don't know what you've done to your phone to be considering this ) be recoverable. You will need to make sure phone is in fastboot and then get command prompt up in fastboot folder and type this...
fastboot oem lock
That will relock the bootloader so that you can flash a stock HTC stock image (or RUU) back to your phone. Your bootloader WILL need to be relocked for you to be able to flash stock image back to phone. You can find stock HTC roms (RUU's) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317895
When you're in fastboot and your phone is connected to the PC and you've downloaded the correct RUU for your region (they are region specific) double click on the RUU.exe and that should start the procedure of flashing the stock image back to your phone. I've never needed to do this, so I'm not 100% on the whole process.
Please remember that if you flash a RUU back to your phone, you will lose root etc, it will be like when you first got the phone...
Also remember that these instructions are tried and tested by many of the members in here and if something isn't working please check that you've followed the instructions to the letter, because it could be quite likely that you've done something wrong or missed something out...
Now I've tried to be as thorough and as noobish as I can possibly be, but if you think you can add anything just let me know and I will add it.
Special thanks to shingers5 who did all the work to start off with, all I've done really is bring them all together and Football for getting all the stock roms in one place

Software versions 1.24.709.2 and 1.14.709.2 seem unsupported by current methods of rooting.
The only way aound this at the minute is if you can find an older stock rom for your region you will have to flash that in order to be able to root your phone. You will need to relock your bootloader to be able to flash another RUU (see first post). And remember as we can't get S-OFF at the minute it will have to be a rom for your phones region...

Everything in one place , Thanks !

It is still confusing about boot.img and chines rom etc. Is it to be done just once?
Some ROMs say flash the Boot.img file as well. Is it different from what you have mentioned or just the same thing.
I would love to try different ROM but I am not comfortable about how to achieve it.

You will only need to flash the Chinese boot.img once and that is when you're coming from a stock rom. Once you've flashed it and the Chinese rom, then flashed RCMix3d you will be able to just flash any rom without the need for flashing the boot.img again.
I know it seems a little long winded but its the only guaranteed way of getting custom rom on your phone. Some people are lucky enough to be able to flash the boot.img and then flash any rom, but that doesn't always work, thats why I've put the method that is tried and tested as working

To be honest I'm not 100% sure. But to be on the safe side it might be worth unlocking it anyway. Unless you're feeling brave and want to try it with out first, Then you could maybe let us know if it does work

I'm guessing if there was a clockworkmod.zip I could flash from the stock recovery I wouldn't need to.
I think I'll be cautious and unlock it

+1 From me ...
I only have 2 questions for now.
If I choose "Sensation", instead of "all other supported devices," Is it wrong?
And I can not open a Command Prompt, when I press the left shift button and click your right mouse button in the fastboot folder.
There is no such option ...

Yeah I would say so, from what people have said if you pick sensation it doesn't work, it does however work if you pick 'all other supported devices'.
If you can't get command prompt open from that menu, do you know how to navigate to the fast boot folder if you open a command prompt from the start menu?

Thanks again!

All this information is in another 3 posts about ROOT, CWM, and Bootloader unlock and i read them before i rooted month ago. Thank you for your work, but personaly i think your thread is little bit to large It would burn my brain if i would follow this doing rooting Maybe for someone is good to have it all in one place.
P.s. I flashed Bindroid ROM after boot.img flashing. Then i flashed Dutchdanny provided flashable stock ROM, now use RCMix, and no problem. Actualy i flashed boot.img twice, but i think its only necessary first time and does not matter which ROM u flash first.

Yeah I know its a big post and that all the information in the first post is a available in other posts, but not everyone is like you and searches the forum for answers. On the whole most people do the same but there are some people who 'can't be bothered' to search for answers and start threads asking questions that have already been answered. I know because I've been answering them.
So I thought that it would be a good idea to put everything in one place so the answers would be easier to find.
Its like I said in the first post that some are lucky enough to flash another rom and it work straight away, but not everyone can (like me), so I posted the guaranteed way to get it to work (just like in shingers5 post) because if I didn't that would create more questions. Also I said that you should only need to flash boot.img once and not you can't flash it more than once.
Its basically an attempt to keep the forum clean and not full of unnecessary posts... that can only be a good thing surely

Have you installed the Android SDK like it told you to on the HTCDev website. If so just search for fastboot.exe on your computer. Its all clearly explained when you go through the process of unlocking your bootloader at HTCDev.
Download Android SDK here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Edit: Attached pics to make it a little easier

Your phone is not permanantly rooted if your bootloader is still locked. Try un-installing HTCsync because that can interfere with fastboot. Also have you put the unlock_code.bin file in the fastboot folder?

[solved] Bricked? How to remove CWM ?

"I checked everywhere and I can't fine it. How to remove this horrible CWM ? Anything . I need anything! I tried to install 4EXT when CWM was still on and phone now seems to be bricked. It doesn't want to boot into the system or recovery. It just hangs on HTC white boot logo. Please help."
This should have been posted in the General section, not the Development section.
If you can boot the phone into HBOOT, then you can flash a new recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode.
If you have more questions post in the GENERAL section after you have searched.
- Problem is, that when I try to flash anything it's loading it (I can see green uploading animation in HTC) but it isn't writing it (I can see quick red uploading animation) and nothing happens afterwards...
Could you recommend particular recovery image please ? I'm very tight on time.

hey ive had this happen to me before when i first started. the way i solved my problem was boot into fastboot and run the ruu it will restore everything to stock then run revolutionary to get s-off and flash cwm. then download 4ext recovery and in the app u can flash it straight over the top of cwm
heres the link to find your ruu

This will not work. This is how the OP just into the situation he is in. The RUU will not successfully install because he has the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT on his phone and the RUU is not able to overwrite with the HBOOT from the RUU.

I tried your RUU yesterday late night but it won't work. Only way I know to do it is to rename it to PG32IMG.zip and have it autoloaded by unlit. But it let's loaded (green loading animation) and than red loading animation which finishes but dissent make any changes I will try to find stock Rom (stock recovery?) With exe and try to flash it from console via windows. I would be happy if you could advise which file to flash as I travel and can access only wiz gprs on other phone which cost me dear and I can't really see anything I wouldn't mind to also format everything including memory where cwm or 4ext sits if its possible. I'm sorry to ask for that but will appreciate links if someone done it before due to those restrictions of searching through roaming oon company phone. Thanks guys.

I had it enabled as well as fastboot disabled but now i don't even have a system. all i can do is to power into hboot. i cant get into recovery (that's where cwm and 4ext was sitting and it hangs everytime i try to access) nothing else. i had separate drivers for htc but i have installed and updated htc sync. will kill it everytime tries to run. i still cant get over this connection problem. RUU advised above have broken or payable links. the one i tried to install is from here: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...igned_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe
could someone be so kind and actually send me a link to the file that i need to insstall to finally got it moving?
i am at the moment so confused by searching thought topics i completely lost my point. please - be so kind and direct me to some downloadable link and to whatever i need to flash...
on another note - can I wipe everything somehow and than install from scratch ? (by everything i mean also the place where CWM is istting)

If that is the RUU you tried to install, no wonder you are having issues. That RUU is not for the IncS, so it is a wonder you can still even get into HBOOT.
Try this one:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...5AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_signed.exe

The problem seems to be coming from inability to connect/recognise my device in first place. I will try this suggested Rom today and let you know in few hours.

Logically thinking - what could go wrong with this phone ? I had CWM which I wanted to remove. I couldn't so I tried to install 4ext to overwrite it when I lost hope. this didn't work. Than I tried some "stock Rom" which came out to be dodgy and I'm in situation now. It's S-ON phone and all I can do is to get to hboot. But I am still cautious about this connercition error 260. I hope its because of wrong file I tried to use previously... But.... I will troy files suggested here. If that won't work - what will be next step ? Could I let's say try to download gingerbread and install it from .exe ? Would that fix it ?

Copy it to your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip and the reboot into HBOOT and it should ask you to Update.

Rooting Problem

Hello today I attempted something that I thought was going to be a quick video tutorial fix. I tried Rooting my HTC one. I followed several guides and read many posts I easily managed to unlock my phone. The problem started when trying to flash the recovery onto my phone, first I tried through commands: fastboot flash recovery and I received the error (FAILED data transfer failure unknown error) I've searched for 7 hours looking for a fix. Since I cant root reverting back to a fresh install is impossible, I cant find a RUU for telus, (I live in canada). I just don't know what to do, when I try to flash anything my bootloader freeze, drivers are up to date, tried restarting computer. Used One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0 doesn't work. This is a nightmare come save me before I jump off a cliff.
EDIT: What I did from beginning was followed this video "How to Root the HTC One-FlamingArio"to the point where you try and flash the recovery fastboot. That didnt work so after trying to fix that I tried How To Root HTC One & Unlock Bootloader - Easiest & User Friendly- The smoking Android ( super boot a 1 click install) that made my bootloader screen turn to tampered. after that I tried One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.
Note in all in one kit I did erase cache and standard recovery works fine, I've re-installed it may times.
Cant post links yet but I gave video names.
EDIT: when I do the cmd fastboot devices my device shows up when I do adb devices nothing shows up could this be part of the problem?
Thank you all for your help, I re-installed all the programs on my laptop and redid all the steps and it worked. Bye!

Try this in ABD fastboot erase cache then flash the recovery again i hope this helps:fingers-crossed:

What did you do from the beginning? Could you post a step by step traceback of what got you to this point? Let's see if you missed any steps

Keep an eye on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302870
Many people are looking for the Telus RUU.
Can you still access standard recovery? If so try reverting to factory settings (all data will be lost) and try to boot.
If you can get it to boot you should have more luck in trying to root your device.
I know that I had some issue's trying to get root on my device. But once I got S-off with revone, I was able to install root no problem.

Nice to see you sorted it

Assuming you have actually flashed a recovery image to your device, you will then need to push a ROM to your sd card so that you can flash it in recovery.
Just do the following:
1. I am guessing you have the HTC drivers installed on your PC.
2. Download the attached adb.zip and unzip it to a folder on your C drive and call the folder whatever you like.
3. Boot your device into recovery and plug it in to a powered USB port on your PC.
4. Navigate to the folder that you just created on your PC and copy your ROM zip into it. rename the ROM zip to 'rom.zip' to make life easy.
5. Inside the folder, press and hold the shift key and right click in a blank part of the window and select 'Open command window here' (screenshot attached).
6. Type 'adb push rom.zip /sdcard' (don't use the quote marks)
7. Press 'enter'
8. Once the zip has finished being pushed to your sdcard, you can reboot into recovery and then flash it as normal.
EDIT: That will teach me not to read to the very end of a post. I'll leave this here for someone else.

You may install the HTC Drivers... and ADB works only on system or recovery... otherwise you have to use fastboot commands. So I'd recommand flashing a Stock ROM from TWRP, you can get a stock rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752 (thanks Mike1986 for providing such awesome ROMs)... then you should have a working phone again. At least: If you can enter the bootloader EVERYTHING is fine and you didn't f*** up your HTC One.

Okay, first here you have the correct adb and fastboot files, I uploaded them quickliy for you, I think this way they should work properly:
http://uploaded.net/file/ykwya517
Next thing are these HTC Drivers, in this post are a few of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2089508 and on my computer there are the 4.3.0.001 drivers, so I'd recommand downloading those(Credits go to @mdmower):
http://www.mediafire.com/download/n5y93fdgkvexpwc/HTC+Driver+4.3.0.001.exe
Now shut down your phone and boot in into the bootloader with pressing the power button and the volume down button. Then select fastboot and enter this menu. Now if the drivers are installed correctly there should be written FASTBOOT USB. I think you said you are unlocked... so the following command should run just fine. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where adb and fastboot are placed. In this folder you copy your custom recovery(TWRP) and you flash it with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [recoveryname].img
And DON'T worry about adb in the bootloader! ADB doesn't work with the bootloader. Now you boot into your recovery by chosing Recovery somewhere in your bootloader. If you are in the bootloader you somehow need to push the ROM to your HTC One... This should work with this command...
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored\rom.zip" "/data/media/0/rom.zip"
And if this doesn't copy it correctly simply place your zip on your computer to a folder that is empty and push this folder to your HTC One with:
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored" "/data/media/0"
Now you are good to go, simply flash the zip form TWRP. I think you know how this works Simply go to install and then chose the zip and flash it.
If you now want to s off... then ask me again. I'll give you an advice

And if this doesn't copy it correctly simply place your zip on your computer to a folder that is empty and push this folder to your HTC One with:
Code:
adb push "C:\FolderWhereRomIsStored" "/data/media/0"
Now you are good to go, simply flash the zip form TWRP. I think you know how this works Simply go to install and then chose the zip and flash it.
If you now want to s off... then ask me again. I'll give you an advice

Good to know that it worked As some kind of a hint I'd recommand not to proceed s off at the moment because with this security system disabled, you are able to destroy many more partitions such as the bootloader and this would result with irreparable damage to your device and it would be hardbricked. So my advice is: Keep your hands away from S OFF for a few weeks and use rumrunner s off if you are sure that you can understand adb/fastboot basics. I really don't want to say that you are stupid or a noob, this is truly NOT the case! Everyone needs experience and the only way to get experience is to read through forums, to read statements from people that hardbricked their device and many more thing But you have a working phone right now, that is important :highfive:

[Q] Can't get recovery to flash

I recently tried to install a ROM on my HTC one and it seems to have soft bricked my device. I don't seem to have a recovery anymore so I tried to flash TWRP using fastboot. But everytime I try the command flash recovery, I get an error that says cannot open recovery.img. I have searched and found a few tutorials and i seem to be doing everything right but the recovery wont flash. Any help? My phone will not boot at all. Fastboot works but thats about it. When i click reboot it just goes blank then goes to the exact same screen. When I click on recovery it does the exact same thing.

Is recovery in the same folder you open the terminal in? If so make sure to type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Yeah. Its in the same folder. It gives me an error every time. I can't figure out why it doesn't work.

Did you happen to use the CM Installer to unlock,root, ect?
If you did you won't be able to flash any other roms or recoveries without running an RUU.

what recovery are you tring to install
if it's for sprint it should be: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7wls.img
the recovery img should be in your fastboot folder
you phone in bootloader fastboot usb.

hmmmm... fastboot folder? This person needs a bit more than that, seemingly.
So, first, there is some folder (directory) in which your "fastboot" program exists -- let's call that "FastbootDir" for this discussion. Do this:
1) Download the latest TWRP (2.7.0.x), you can use mine, or the standard release, your choice: my build (with enhancements) or the standard;
2) copy that file *exactly* as it is (quit the renaming game -- fastboot does not need that -- it could care less what the file name is) to your *FastbootDir* folder;
3) Open your file explorer and browse to that same directory (your FastbootDir folder);
4) Right click in the file area and open a command terminal *as administrator*;
5) now type this in the command window:
dir openrecovery*.img
If that says "file not found" or similar -- you either failed to copy the downloaded file to that directory, or, well, you renamed it (don't do that!);
If it tells you file name, *that* is the exact file name you must enter into the flash command. Let's say you chose my build, which will say "openrecovery-m7wls-2.7.0.2-03-13-2014.img" -- then to flash that you will type:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-m7wls-2.7.0.2-03-13-2014.img
If on the other hand you chose the standard build from TeamWin:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-m7wls.img
That should do it. Report back if you have troubles.

I finally got it flashed. Thanks for all the help. I am a newb with HTC devices. I installed the ROM that I had on the device but now it won't boot up. All i get is a white HTC screen and "process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding". I have wiped several times and tried to install 2 different roms but i never get past the HTC screen. I can get to the lock screen but as soon as I unlock it the phone just reboots and I get stuck again. Any suggestions?

Suggest you flash a such rooted ROM just to start at a place of sanity.

Did you check all of your md5, and using your exact ROM? Are you m7spr or m7wls?

M7 wls. In not sure how to check the md5 sum. I was already on the bad boys rom so I know the rom was a good download. It just won't get past the htc screen.

Sounds like you flashed a GSM rom at one point and messed up your partitions.
I would suggest running an RUU and starting fresh.

If he tried to flash ANYTHING gsm you pretty much have to RUU... Are you trying to go GSM or stay CDMA? I would suggest viper ROM flashing in twrp 2.7.0 just to see what that does and if you can get past screen

I've seen posts like that to....

I had to ruu back because no Rom would boot. I tried different roms but they all would get to a blank HTC screen. I could unlock the phone but the HTC screen would be there. The the HTC dialer would force close a few times then the phone would reboot. That happened on 2 different roms. Bad boys and on viper Rom. But thanks to everyone for the help.?

Don't respond there -- that's a dev thread, but honestly it's pretty easy. My suspect is you don't have the SDK (fastboot, adb, etc. properly setup). The fastboot program needs to be on your PATH, or you need to open a command window ***as administrator*** and make sure you are in the directory in which fastboot exists (e.g., type "dir fastboot*.*") and if it doesn't come back with something, you're not in the correct directory.

deleted, wrong thread.

QUOTE=nossman;55476580]Thank you! I have just installed brand new ADB tools etc. rebooted . . .[/QUOTE]
First -- could you *please* go delete the post you laid down in my TWRP development thread -- I specifically asked you *not* to do that. Dev threads are not support or Q&A threads and that post takes up a bunch of space totally unnecessarily. Sigh ...
Second -- if the command fails like that it means you have the wrong path to the file you downloaded. Do a file search for openrecovery*.* starting in C:\ and use the path it finds.
