So a few months back I tried CyanogenMod and found out I ultimately prefer Sense. So I tried to return to it and had some troubles along the way. I finally made it back to stock with the help of some lovely XDA members. However, now when I try to install the OTA, a red symbol appears on the recovery screen. What's wrong?
Previous thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/stuck-bootloop-bootloader-relocked-t2922700

Hi,
I think I've done something wrong with updating my phone:
At first I had Android Revolutiom Rom 2.x installed and I wanted to make an update. I didn't realize that I didn't have S-OFF and I made a SuperWipe. Installing the new ARHD 4.0 obviously didn't work, because I only had S-ON. So the phone stucked during booting on the green HTC logo on white background.
I tried other Roms but it didn't come to a happy end
So, what can I do now? Can I install the older version of ARHD 2.x (which I don't have anymore)?
This is what I can see when I turn on the phone with power and volume-up:

I can go into Recovery and have installed Revolutinoary CWM 4.0.1.4
I don't know which PG321IMG.zip is flashed or if it is the right one either.
Hope someone can help me :fingers-crossed:

Since you have an unlocked bootloader, you simply need to open up the ARHD 4.0 zip file and extract the boot.img file and then manually flash it in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
There are plenty of posts on how to do this.

So I flash again the SuperWipe script and put the ARHD 4.0 zip file back on SD and flash it through CWM? After that I flash manually the boot.img?

Alright so I'm pretty much screwed. I wiped everything off my phone except for the boot loader.
I've tried every single method I could find such as reverting back to stock or adb sideloading a custom rom.
They both have failed. Every time I try to revert to a ruu it either tells me it cant verify the signature or it cant verify the model id.
I am extremely frustrated and desperate. Please any help at all would be appreciated.

Since you re on HBOOT 1.44 you can try Revone to gain S-OFF and then the RUU will work and get you back to stock!
What is your CID?
What's the error on trying to sideload or adb push to sdcard?

I was thinking of trying something like this, but I wasn't sure if you could gain S-OFF without an OS installed.

For Revone to work you need ADB. So boot into custom recovery and run the commands needed for Revone.
Normally it requires usb debugging ON but you should give it a try.

I could side load a custom rom before, but once I tried to install it the usual way through TWRP the installation failed.
Now after re-locking my bootloader to attempt the reversion to stock, and then unlocking after it failed, I can't even get ADB to recognize my device.
I got the same problem. Using TWRP, side load gives an error. This is my comlete error when trying to install
Comlete error is:
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/M7_UL_JB43..
updating partition details
e:unable to mount /data
e: unable to mount internal storage
so do you have the recovery? If so, then as adb is not recognizing your device, probably is a driver issue.. (also you need to connect to adb while in recovery. not on fastboot or when phone is trying to boot)
If it its a reaction on my post, yes i have the recovery adb is recognozing my devices i can push a rom to my SDcard but when i try to install i get that error.
i had the same problem on Win XP with TWRP, on Win 7 it works fine.
Did you try flash different recovery? CWM? can be pushed to sdcard as well
The push is not the issue, thats works correct. CWM can't find my SDcard at all and in TWRP i can browse to SDcard see the rom click on it but then i got the errors.

Okay so I updated TWRP to the latest version and re-installed my HTC drivers and I managed to sideload a custom rom and install it!!!!

You can do as clsA states above. Then push this Guru Reset to your phone. You can not run the .401 RUU and OTA because you are S-ON. You can only run a RUU that is the same version or higher (.771). You need to run this in custom recovery. You can read about them here.

The sound mod he have installed, flashed a new(incompatible?) adsp image in partition mmcblk0p16. If the issue is caused by an incompatible adsp, flashing a rom will not fix. Maybe a RUU (don't remember if mmcblk0p16 is included in RUU, I don't have access to my computer atm) maybe flashing back mmcblk0p16 manually with the stock image for his version could help.

Do you have a custom recovery? If not flash twrp 2.6.3.3. Then you can push or sideload a Rom to the phone.
---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
Use this recovery
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Download and put the file in your fastboot folder rename it recovery.img and use these commands to flash the recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader menu to boot TWRP Recovery :good:
Put the stock Rom zip in your fastboot folder and rename it rom.zip http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-401-8-zip/
While on the TWRP home screen connect your usb cable. In the command window type
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push is complete (Several Minutes) When its done Install the Rom with TWRP recovery.
If you want stock with working OTA updates install the Rom with options
Stock Recovery = Yes
Stock Radio =Yes
Root = No
Otherwise choose options to your liking :good:
I will try and reply

You may want to try formatting the device. In TWRP go to "Wipe" then "Format Data" type yes to confirm. Then reboot recovery. And push the Rom again.
Also check the md5 of the rom.zip with the tool www.winmd5.com it should match this.

Make sure you have the latest htc drivers installed on your computer and uninstall HTC sync if its installed on your computer. Boot in bootloader mode, select "fastboot" (if not already in fastboot menu), make sure you see "fastboot usb" in red and type "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is correctly detected.
Thank you for the reply I used Clockworkmod and various different roms
Where can I find the recovery name and version please?
I am going to try Windows 7 as I understand it causes less complications.

What roms exactly, I can't help if you don't give precise answers. List all the rom (name + version) you have tried to flash. Are you sure you did only used roms that was made for the M7?

First line of text when booted in recovery + you should know the recovery you have flashed.... or you simply flashed a random file?

Win 10 is fine with hboot 1.54. Only hboot 1.44 is causing problem with Win 8/10
The only thing I can suggest you with the information I have is to flash TWRP and flash this rom which will reset your phone back to stock. When installing the rom, select "yes" to install stock recovery and stock radio and select "no" to root. Do all the ota updates until you are running on the latest version. Once up-to-date, you can reflash a custom recovery (TWRP preferred for the M7) and root the phone again and if you want, flash any custom roms youd like
If you ever considered S-OFF then do it before doing any ota updates using Rumrunner S-OFF (free) because once the hboot is updated, you'll have to use Sunshine S-OFF which will cost 25 USD.
I have managed to get it to communicate now by using windows 7
