First let me say thanks to all you who do what you do here. I have found a wealth of info from people who apparently do it just because.
That being said, in my noobness I have I think really botched my phone. It will come on and go to the loading screen and stop. The circle spins without end. I evevn left it on till the battery was out. Recharged and the same. I can boot into fastboot but anything I try to do there gives me permission errors(bootloader is unlocked). Boot into CWM and can do everything but nothing seems to help fix it.
I am on the verge of tossing it as much as I hate the thought of it.
I would appreciate any and all help.
Thanks again for all the help up to now.

Boot animation is correct. In cwm I go to wipe data/factory reset and the only option available is wipe cache, no reset option. Honestly I don't see several options that have been offered as help. I have also tried mounting some directories and they all throw errors.
Here is my progression. I flashed cyanogen, worked ok. Then I saw the tesla ROM and liked some of the options in it so I flashed it, worked ok but wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I went back to cyanogen and since then everything is a mess.
I tried to use fastboot from SDK and I get permission errors. I tried to go back stock with RSD Lite but I can't find a sbf that works.
What I have now is a fresh flash of cyanogen that boot loops.
HOORAY!!!! I got it!!
Found a stock rom at motofirmware and flashed it with RSD Lite and voila!
Thanks for offering some help mrrocks

With the at&t One it is easy to go back to stock and/or start over with a new rom. Just follow my guide:

Glad your back up.
Dear experts, I have seen similar threads as with the issue I am facing but I wasnt sure of few parts and if the process as a whole could work for me.
Here's what I know and what the problem is all about, appreciate any help to get back the phone in working condition.
First the basics:
HTC first
GSM unlocked, Bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed
I wanted to delete and format the device as I intended to give this to my friend and I did go to TWRP menu and then clicked on advanced wipe etc and realized I did erase everything the phone needs even to bootup. This I have done without taking backup.
What it looks like now:
When I boot the device out from TWRP, the 'F' logo comes up and stays like that for ever. If I go to TWRP pressing the power and volume down together, it goes to the TWRP menu and thats it..no options seem to help me on this screen to go past the 'F' logo at startup. If I simply power down the device on the 'F' screen it restarts and goes to the same screen making it look like its in a loop. Not sure if this is called soft-brick or hard-brick but it looks like the phone is of no use to me right now.
Can you guys please help me with resolving the problem..any help will be much appreciated

Sideload the stock rom and then flash it I've been in your situation and that's all that was needed to be done.
Be sure to also flash the boot.img if you aren't s-off
More questions

Well then you'll have to make sure you flash the boot.IMG as well,
So what you'll do is
1) find the stock ROM around these threads
2) sideload the ROM
3) flash it
4) flash the boot.IMG inside the rom
5) you're done!
Understanding what s-on/off won't be of use here really d:
And the stock ROM is somewhere around these threads. About the side loading you might find a tutorial for that on YouTube. Sorry if it seems that I'm just leaving you in the dust but I am typing this in a hurry since it's 2:50 am at my place. I will be back to whip up a tutorial for you if YouTube wasn't of much help
Okay
Let me try my best till its like a more sociable time for you tomm morning, I will post my updates on the thread on how far I go and any questions I may have..

If you need help with a tutorial or need me to go in depth with something it'll be quite a while from now because it's 2:40 am at my place. I'll assume you're a more advanced user since you've already got twrp and sound like you know what you're talking about

Oh and btw I edited my post bc I saw your othe reply stating that you aren't all that too advanced with this
boot.img
I should be finding the boot.img on the stock ROM itself, isnt it..?

That's correct. Unzip the ROM and it should be there
This is how far I could get
Got all stock ROM and the IMG files, installed android SDK
ADB doesnt recognize the device to copy the file for sideloading
Guess issue is with the fact USB debugging was disabled earlier on my device
Can you please advise further
Is it better to chat on google chat or something so its even faster and I could get this fixed tonight (my time)
Thank you
Finally got it fixed
Thanks for the help..it all worked fine and the device is now working fine..
Thanks for all the guidance

wait a sec...you dont have a rom or kernel on your device at the moment right?
then there is no way to turn on usb debug on or off cause there is nothing managing the device.
um...use cmd and do adb devices. if its not there then i have no idea but if fast-boot goes into usb mode try flasing it using code
not sure what you would use, but see if "fastboot flash update nameofROM.zip"
but im not sure if that is the right code
stock rom for htc first

Stock recovery or TWRP?
Are you looking to undo what you did without having to do a complete wipe, or are you open to more drastic solutions? Because you can always run the toolkit to reset to complete stock by flashing the stock images over your current system. But that would of course perform a complete wipe.

I dont really mind a complete wipe. And are you referring to this toolkit? http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...l-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3048099
if not could you please tell me which one?
And to clarify, I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fPIYhzWlnw . The file that I flashed to attempt to root is in the description of that.

I actually used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/tool-moto-x-pure-edition-recovery-t2897819 when I was messed around, but I would imagine either would work. When I needed to return to unrooted stock, I believe that toolkit returned me to 4.4.4 unrooted stock, then I just ran the 5.0 OTA once the phone booted up.
The toolkit you referenced is the one I used to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and root my phone. As long as you can get to recovery or fastboot, either toolkit should work to return you to stock. BUT I caution you, I have a pure edition, and these toolkits were made for the pure edition. If you do not have a pure edition, you'll want to read the disclaimers/instructions/other posts to make sure it will work on your phone.
Okay so this escalated quickly.
So here I am being my dumb self , I try to flash TWRP. That goes fine and then I try to wipe my data. After that I reboot it and as its turning on it foes black on the boot animation. and now I cant even get into freaking recovery mode. I dont know what I did but im pretty sure I messed up bad. I need some serious help now and anything is appreciated.

Bootloader as in vol. down + power button right? Thats not working too. I also tried other combinations to no luck. And before it was turning on but now its not even booting to the boot animation. Thanks for the link though, if it does magically boot into the bootloader then i'll know what to do at least.
Edit: Okay so theres the charging animation, so thats a start, I guess. Still no luck on the bootloader tho.
Okay got it into bootloader mode!
Now before I do any other stupid thing can somebody just confirm one thing for me? On Graffix's website, this is the img I should flash through mfastboot right
Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 FULL IMAGE PACKAGE Zip
Just a confirmation because I dont really trust my judgement. Thanks again everybody

I agree that Toolkits can make you lazy and not learn how to fix things on your own, but when you need a quick fix and don't have time to figure out what is going wrong, it's always nice to just boot your phone into fastboot or recovery and fix things with a few keystrokes on your computer.
I got it to work guys! Thanks for all the help. It was much appreciated.
My son has the Non-HK edition and has somehow erased everything off of his phone. As in, there is no operating system anymore. I've tried everything I can think of to get it back to stock and nothing is working. Maybe someone here can help me out and walk me through how to get it back working? The phone will boot to the screen where you can choose Fastboot, Recovery, HBOOT, and all that stuff. No custom recovery is installed on the phone either. I use to have TWRP on it but like I said, EVERYTHING is gone.
Your best bet is to run the latest non HK RUU found here.
