So I was messing around with ROMs for my HTC one and I have destroyed my phone ;(
I think I forgot to update firmware before installing a new ROM and now I can't get past the fastboot page. It doesn't power on, it goes directly to the fastboot page, and no matter what button I push, it vibrates, shows the "HTC Screen " for about 2 seconds, then re-directs straight back to the fastboot page, I can't even get in to the recovery, any suggestions?

Can you please post the out put from

fastboot getvar all
Please remove imei and serial numbers before posting.
What Rom did you flash and which recovery did you use(name and version please)? Links if possible :good:
can't get adb to work :/
and it's been around 2 months since I did this so I don't remember which ROM it was, though I think it was the viper ROM, and I use clockwork recovery

What OS do you have on your pc. If Windows, what is the phone listed as in device manager. It should be "MY HTC" If its Unknown you need to fix your drivers.
Maybe its a problem with adb itself, What exactly is the problem. Any error messages?

got adb to work
Download the correct ruu for your device, check that the mid's and Cid's match.
There's a lot of guides that tell you how to flash ruu's

Ok so your device is Sprint. Since its been some time like this it could be difficult to figure out exactly what went wrong so it is best to start by returning the device to stock with and ruu. You should be able to use this one
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
Download and unzip it you should get a windows .exe file.
Reboot your device to the bootloader and connect your usb cable. The phone should be in fastboot usb mode. In the command window type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Wait for it to reboot and go back to fastboot usb then run the ARU.exe. It will return your device to stock.
If you get problems running the ruu let me know. It may be necessary to flash a firmware package to get it to run, but we'll cross that bridge if we come to it :good:
First of all, thank you so much for all your help on this, means a lot.
Now, I did the fastboot commands, but the ruu program freezes whenever I run it after it starts sending the updates

Do you have HTCSync installed. If so uninstall it but leave drivers installed. Reboot and run the RUU again
Nope, no HTCSync installed
also, fastboot works but adb doesn't which is weird

It depends how your using adb. Fastboot works only in the bootloader.
Adb works only in recovery mode.
As I suspected you'll need to flash the firmware before the ruu will run. Give me a moment link and instructions to follow . If the bootloader is still relocked leave it that way. It needs to be relocked to flash the firmware also.
Edit:-
Download this firmware zip and put it in your fastboot folder. Rename it "firmware.zip"
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
Reboot the phone into the bootloader and connect fastbootusb. In the fastboot command line type.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
**---case sensitive ---^^^
Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
with the phone still in the bootloader connected with fastboot usb run the RUU exe on your pc.
After that your software will be completely stock. You should also be able to update with OTA updates Let me know how that goes :good:
dont think that's the right link, thats the link to the RUU

Sorry I'm not sure how to make that work, I have no first hand experiance with Sprint devices. I know there designed to use a CDMA network. And that they can be used on a GSM Network but I've no idea how to get that to work.
Hopefully someone will come along who does. Maybe @clsA @alray or @nkk71 can help with that?

are you flashing a rom.zip in fastboot RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU) ? if so it's normal for the green bar to stop just short, and the command window should say flash completed.
just type fastboot reboot-bootloader and then fastboot erase cache
followed by fastboot reboot your phone will take about 3-5 min to boot up the first time
to fix the relocked just unlock again with the .bin file you got the first time you unlocked
you'll also need to reflash a custom recovery and root if you so desire

re-flash TWRP recovery - fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
and re-flash a rom (if you don't have a rom on your sdcard you'll need to push or sideload a rom to your phones SDcard
the command is adb push name of rom.zip /data/media/0 change the name of coarse
here is the Nandroid Backup CID BM 001 3.23.666.1 for your phone
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-twrp-nandroid-backup-cid-bm___001-3-23-666-1-zip/
You will extract the Backup to your fastboot folder (make a folder called backup in fastboot) and then push it to your phone while it's booted to Recovery
adb push backup /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/Your phones Serial number/backup

actually you can search your pc temp folder for the romu.zip while the exe is running
This is the instructions posted by Scotty85
I'm just re-posting it for you

Quote:
here is how you extract rom.zip:
Quote:
the .exe utilities can be finicky,so if you have trouble getting it to run, you can extract "rom.zip" in the following manner:
-start the utility
-check the "i understand" box to move on to the next screen
-hide the utility temporarily out of site
-search your C drive for "rom.zip". you will find it in a temporary location(it will be in a different spot each time you run the utility)
-open the folder location,and transfer rom.zip to a safe location on your PC.
-unhide and cancel the utility,youre done with it.
-rom.zip can be flashed using
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip rom.zip
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (yes do this 2 times)
fastboot reboot
Quote:
here are some directions to flash "rom.zip"
if youre working with a booted,operational phone,you can flsh the file in the following manner:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
cd c:\foldername
(cd c:\mini-adb if youve used any of my guides )
-place the zip file you want to flash into adb/fastboot directory
-enable usb debug,disable fastboot,plug in phone
-check for connectivity
adb devices (should return serial number)
-boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
-check for connectivity again
fastboot devices
-flash the file
fastboot erase cache
fastboto oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. dont interupt it while the cmd window shows its writinging,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot
you can use this if you dont have an operational phone as well. you just need to manually put the phone in fastboot(select from hboot menu) then skip the "adb" commands and start with fastboot devices
to answer your other question,yes,you will need to re-unlock and re-install recovery after running the RUU. an ruu is designed as an "unroot" solution, or emergency fix,if other attempts have not made the phone operational.

well if you have this many questions .. I think you should stop and read the guides before you do something to the phone that can't be reversed.

The problem is I can't transfer any files into the HTC Sync Manager to be able to apply them to my phone because I can't get to the main screen, therefore it does not recognize my phone when it's plugged into my computer..

like i said go do some reading
and uninstall HTC SYNC it's useless
the only tools you'll be using are Terminal / fastboot and ADB

just quote me here I'll be with you ...your phone is not dead
you just need more info to get through everything to get back up and running
Okay... After reading a bunch of stuff, I still have no idea what I'm looking for/what I need to actually do. I'm trying to get my HTC One back to stock, and all the guides I'm seeing require the phone to actually be working (mine isn't, it's stock on the TWRP/recovery thing therefore I can't access any of my apps and whatnot). This is getting really frustrating.
Okay, I found a pic online of the part I'm stuck at. Here it is - http://www.tech-recipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/twrp-recovery-294x500.jpg I can only get to that screen and this one too - http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/88/1...e-install-custom-recovery-using-twrp.w654.jpg I cannot get back to my actual phone's screen, like this one I mean - http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/56/8...sense-style-home-screen-your-htc-one.w654.jpg

Okay, followed this tutorial today (can't post the link but it's called "How to Root HTC One! [Mac, Linux, Windows Tutorial]" and no matter what I do I can't seem to get back to the actual phone (i.e., being able to access the main screen where everything is, if you know what I mean). I've tried going to the recovery screen and hitting reboot but it just takes me back to this TWRP page that has a bunch of options like "Install, Wipe, Backup, Restore, Mount, Setting, etc. I really hope I haven't screwed up my phone permanently. Please help me :crying:

first of all you must be on android version 4.1.2 you are on 4.4.2 and you also must downgrade your hboot version to 1.44 for sim unlock to work... i also had the same problem i was on 4.3 and hboot 1.55 i downgraded it to 4.1.2 and sim unlocked the phone... to downgrade try this RUU http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22926241640219526
Download the zip, place it in the folder where your ADB and fastboot is. Once you have it downloaded and in your ADB/fastboot folder,
From fastboot you need to first re-lock your bootloader
fastboot oem lock
Once locked it will boot back into bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Now your booted to the black HTC screen. Make sure your Rom.zip file is in your adb/fastboot folder
fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
This takes a couple minutes and you will most likely get a error
(pre-hboot update: please flush immediately)
Make sure device is still in ruu mode(black HTC screen). If not rerun
fastboot oem rebootRUU
now simply reflash the rom.zip
fastboot flash zip Rom.zip
Let it run and it should finish this time
It will reboot to a fully stock build.
just remember, anytime you get a "flush immediately" error, just make sure your still in ruu mode and reflash the zip.
The most common error is typically
(Error 155)
You did not re lock your bootloader first
-go relock and flash again:good:

After waiting 15 mins this came up but hboot is still at 1.56 it did not downgrade im going to retry the process again
Need Help!
Hey guys i'm getting an active cmdline over flow on my Sprint Htc One that i sim unlocked to use on a GSM network. Sadly along with that i'm constantly dropping and reconnecting to the network.
It appears that my mmcblk0p19 seems to be corrupted.
So my question is can anyone who has a Sprint Htc One PN072 pull the misc partition from their phone and upload it so that i may compare and fix mine?
in custom recovery, do the following adb commands:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/tmp/mmcblk0p19_bak.img
adb pull /tmp/mmcblk0p19_bak.img
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

huh.. finally u did it... congratulations.. but the network problem seems to exist in all the phones i presume... even tough the network tower is near my home i only get 3-4 bars max...
Does that above also apply to me??
My bootloader is unlocked with H-Boot 1.56, I'm S-off, rooted and TWRP recovery. I'm on the 6th rom I've flashed (Tried CM 11 Nightly, CM 10 Snapshot, Stock Deodexed rooted 4.1.2, 4.4.2, MIUI, Viper Rom) and I've been working on this device for about 48 hours non-stop. I am NEED of assistance if ANYONE can offer it.
Does this sim unlock also work for phones that are currently registered on Sprints network? Like the account is still active? I've got a Sprint HTC one I've performed the Sim Unlock attempting to use my T-Mobile sim, but it says will "Emergency Calls Only." And "Searching for network/No Service" I've got a red X where the signal bars are. Of course No text, no voice and no data. I've gone into the *#*#4636#*#* service menu and changed the settings to WCDMA, but NO dice. Yes, I went to mobile settings, searched for service and nothing appears, just a blank screen! The phone does recognize my Sim card and even shows my cell number and IMEI, UICC as well. I've even attempted to change RUIM settings in DFSCDMA Tool. I have changed the radio around about 5 different times with NO fix. I have searched high and low on these forums and haven't found anyone that can help me.
Could anyone please help me? I find when I dont keep up with this forum when I come back im kind of overwhelmed
I just installed ViperOne 8 but its saying I dont have root and also my camera never works (and didnt in V7 either).
At this point I just want to go back to 100% stock, I will likely be getting a M9 or G4 so I will have to sell this guy (such a nice phone, will be missed).
What I have (about section of the phone)
ViperOne 8.0.0
Sense 6
Android 5.0.2
SDK 6.55
Baseband 1.01.20.0904_2
If anyone could please help me I would be very appreciative

Look for a RUU. They also have the RUU for the new lollipop version that was recently released. After u run the RUU u should be completely stock *note it will delete everything so you will be ready to sell. Locking the hboot if unlocked will be up to u and the other person.
Can anyone confirm that I just need to flash this in fastboot?

Hey jpwhre! I made a thread a couple days ago and was following a tip on flashing the RUU. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one/help/gifted-one-broken-help-t3049802
Then I saw this thread and your reply. Thank you for the step by step guide!
I'm running into issues though with the last step from flashing the RUU.exe update utility. The flash keeps freezing at "Updating (1/6) sending..." I was stuck there for over an hour and decided to pull the plug. I redid all your step, but instead of using the RUU.exe, I downloaded the encrypted RUU rom.zip and tried to flash via flashboot cmd promt. That ALSO failed with a "signature verify fail." What am I doing wrong? I'm *LOCKED* and S-ON.
