If you are using twrp, try "adb push file.zip /data/media/0"
Im not sure what you are trying to do, load a new recovery? You would do that from bootloader with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

I mean, i have three recovery file (oldest file size 7MB, the new CW file is 8.838KB and the new twrp file is 8.432KB) but i can not use 2 new recovery file ==> when I try: adb sideload rom.zip it said can not find devices.

you must load new recovery from bootloader, not recovery
use fastboot not adb
fastboot flash recovery whatever.img

I done that already, but the problem is, when i try to install ARHD v30, with adb sideload, then they can not find any devices. I already try to install newest HTC drivers, but they dont works.

Hi an0ther,
I am running ARHD v22 with no problems. Then I try to install V30 in recovery mode - from zipfiles. After that, it only run a cicles in HTC boot logo and recovery mode. I start over again form 1st step to relock my HTC, flash recovery.img etc.
Now, my HTC only work with old recovery.img and ARHD v22. If i try 2 other recovery.img event with ARHD v22 is still not works.

I'm not sure exactly what is going on. We might have a language barrier here. You might have a corrupt Rom file. You said relock, not sure if you are talking about the bootloader which you don't need to do. Unless you are trying to flash stock ruu and you are s-on.

Thank you for your time.

[Q] I want to update stock rom 4.4.2

Today i got the ota rom from HTC but when i tried to install it it failed. I already know thats because i use a custom recovery and rooted th e phone. But i want to install the original kitkat how can i do that. I also read on xda that in order to go back i need to have s-off(i know have s-on) to install the new rom.zip but this is also impossible because in order to go back i need a ruu file.
Is there anyone who can tell me how to go back to stock and go original i dont need root privileges anymore.
Im from holland and i have unlocked m7 with vodafone sim.
Please help

Okay, custom recovery, rooted. Custom ROM? You didn't say. In any event, you will need to flash stock recovery and unroot. I think both can be done with AIO Tools. Then you can update. If on custom ROM, S-Off, flash stock recovery, downgrade HBoot, and RUU.

I dont have custom rom i only rooted the phone for the gamkiller app. On the other hand i always tought that s-off is not okay because Its possible to damage your phone.
A few years ago i had the htc hd2 and when i wanted to go back to stock i just installed the original ruu from pc and it flashed it to the phone isnt that possible anymore?

I unlocked boot loader, rooted, installed TWRP recovery and superSU. My phone is Vodafone UK with 4.4.2 running but the the new update ruined my phone with some very serious and annoying bugs. Can I flash this stock rom intended for PN0710000 without changing my MID of Vodafone? Please help !

It doesnt work it starts with the program to update but within the minute it stops....Proberply because i have CWM recovery in the boot and not the Original HTC recovery and finaly because i dont have s-Off
edit I now have s-off 02:16 AM

I have did it, the S-OFF is a must and now i completely stocked my htc one. Everything works perfect also the over the air (ota) update works. Thanks to you all who made restore possible.:good:

[Q] Help w/ Root Htc One (m7)

Hello, this is my first time on XDA so if I make any mistakes please forgive me .
I have unlocked the bootloader on my Sprint HTC One m7, and I can't find any guides on how to root my phone with its current stock Andriod version. It has version 4.4.2 with HTC version 6.0. Can anyone point me towards a good guide?
Thanks!

Welcome to xda!
Since your bootloader is already unlocked, then all you need to do is to flash a custom recovery like TWRP.
With the recovery.img in the same folder where you have adb and fastboot and your phone booted in bootloader/fastboot usb mode, open a command prompt and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then reboot in recovery mode by selecting "recovery" in the bootloader. Once booted in TWRP recovery, just select to reboot to system and the recovery will detect that your phone isn't rooted and will ask if you want to root it. Select "yes". Then once rebooted in the OS, you should have supersu in your app drawer.
Don't forget sprint variant of the One isn't the same phone as the international gsm variant so always flash files (Custom recovery/ custom roms/ Custom kernel) compatible for sprint (M7WLS sometime called M7SPR)

You'll maybe not be able to update. When you unlock the bootloader, /data/preload and its content is wiped (some of HTC preloaded apps, weather animations etc). These apps are sometime updated during an ota update and if they are missing, like after unlocking the bootloader. the ota installation will fail. You also need to flash your stock recovery back before an ota update.

if you are only going to root and not flashing rom then use any version you want, the latest should be fine. If you want to flash a custom rom, use the recovery mentioned in the rom OP.

Looking for All in One Toolkit to Root HTC One M7

I am a complete newbie when it comes to rooting phones and stuff. I have been going through the tutorials and the toolkits that have been posted here years ago. However, when I click on "install HTC drivers" the program doesn't do anything...
Are there current and working All in One Toolkits to root my HTC One M7? Would be highly highly appreciated.

I would recommend you to do it without using any toolkit. There are all outdated anyway and doing it the right way is only 3 steps:
Unlock your bootloader
Flash twrp recovery
Install the latest supersu.zip using twrp recovery

Just make sure to use the latest twrp recovery and supersu.zip, not the versions instructed in the videos.

I am stuck at the bootloader unlocking stage where I download the fastboot.exe on the desktop and run it within cmd.exe
But it does virtually nothing. The bootloader zip from htcdev contained just the bootloader.exe whereas in the video tutorial it comes with a DLL and another file.
I specified the HTC One M7 as this is the phone that I am currently working with and want to root.
What am I missing, what am I doing wrong?

You can use minimal adb and fastboot
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
This will install the correct files (adb.exe fastboot.exe and their dll) and create a shortcut to launch a termimal window from the correct folder (start menu --> program ---> minimal adb and fastboot --> minimal adb and fastboot.exe
Then continue with step 5 from htcdev.com/bootloader
When you'll get your Unlock_code.bin file, don't forget to save it in the same folder where minimal adb and fastboot is installed on your computer (by default C:\minimal adb and fastboot\)

Fantastic, thank you, I was able to unlock the bootloader. Now I am off to the second video to actually root my phone now. Will let you guys know how it goes!

The problem now is that in the thread that the said root video's thread is now different. There is not the root "SuperSU" file in it anymore, what to do? I either need to find the supersu root files or I need a different tutorial. Sorry for the noobish questions I am just scared to break my phone so I need to make sure to follow the steps closely and not improvise stuff
Edit: I did it and I finally got the hang of it.
1. I unlocked the bootloader
2. I installed the twrp ROM for my HTC One M7
3. I downloaded the newest supersu zip from the original supersu site and put that into my internal storage
4. I entered into the recovery mode and picked "install" and chose the supersu zip
Thanks for your help guys
