you need stock recovery to unlock the bootloader, and as you have relocked the bootloader for reasons unknown, you will have to find the correct firmware for your phone and flash that in order to put the stock kernel and stock recovery back on the phone, never lock the bootloader with anything custom on the phone what so ever.

Do you know where I can find my firmware information, and with that information where would I download the correct files and roughly how big are they because I don't have the best internet also what would be the steps required for flashing the correct firmware on the phone? (Btw I have S-On)

can youpost your fastboot getvar all please without imei and serial number, that will tell use which firmware you are on, depending on which firmware you are on depends on the file size, but they are between 40 - 60mb generally, we will go through flashing procedure once we find the firmware package.
next time you try to root, you unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, flash the supers.zip, reboot and complete root setup, and then flash a kernel if that's what you want, never relock the bootloader with any of that on your phone.

easy one to sort out, firmware is here (47.5mb): http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/7.19.401.2.zip
htc fastboot is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550031
download them both and put in the same folder as your adb and fastboot files, rename the 7.19.401.2.zip to firmware.zip for ease then issue these commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (case sensitive, phone screen goes black with silver HTC logo)
htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (if it says something about pre hboot update you will have to issue this command again, however I think htc_fastboot does it all for you)
htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
make sure it says successful at the end and OKAY then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now when your in the bootloader, unlock your bootloader the usual way using the HTC Dev token.
now download TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0 and flash it: https://dl.twrp.me/m7/twrp-2.8.6.0-m7.img.html
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now boot into twrp main screen only, keep your phone plugged into the computer and the internal storage should open on your computer, if it doesn't then you have a driver problem, check device manager, if it does then download the below link file and copy to your internal storage, unplug your phone and install the file. https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
now fully reboot your phone and check that its correctly rooted.
you may now flash a kernel, rom's etc, do not lock or relock your bootloader unless you want to have to do all of this again.
That's it! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! :highfive:
Just one last thing, how can I check if it is rooted or not?

download root checker from play store, but when the phone 1st restart, open SuperSU from the app draw and just check to see if it asks you to update the binaries first.

I've flashed multiple ROMS but I don't know what what's up now.
I was stuck on FTS Rom and couldn't flash any other ROMS- they wouldn't take. It would always reboot in FTS.
So in TWRP, I did an advanced wipe... everything was gone including the multiple various ROMS and backups in both TWRP and CLKmod. Trouble is, now I can get as far as flashing various new recoveries from the bootloader, but I can't push any rom to it or flash anything from the bootloader.
Extra kicker- I can NOT mount the phone on my computer. This has been the case for a while, not from any ROM. Not from FTS Rom, not from any recovery... can not mount the phone and transfer files.
HTC Dumlock also did not work.
Specs-
HTC One- unlocked, rooted, HBoot 1.55, S-On, Radio 4%.20.3218.13
Any help would be appreciated.
I did s-off since you're unlocked. Probably the issue. Then I would go into fast boot to either ruu or transfer a rom
I think rumrunner is what works on 1.55 hboot

Edit your post to match mine.
you have AT&T phone here's the link to the RUU
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
Edit: Keep in mind that resetting your phone with RUU is full wipe and starting from scratch
after it's done you will need to unlock bootloader, flash recovery and Root. Same as if your phone was brand new

Thanks. I don't suppose there is a Mac version for this? I don't currently have Windows installed. If not, I"ll just have to fix this later.

Thanks for your help. Downloading the RUU now but before I flash this I just want to be clear.
Do I first need to S-Off using Rumrunner? I can't find a mac version, just Linux and Win.
Then do I need to re-lock my bootloader? (I read that step here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251800)
Then at that point I can flash the RUU or can I just flash the RUU without S-Off or re-locking the bootloader

I don't think that file requires s-off
but yes a locked boot loader is needed

I'll take a guess this means you need s-off
or a windows PC to run the RUU.exe I posted first
I was trying to flash a ROM earlier today and didn't realize that I was S-on... This threw me into a Boot loop, I thought no problem i'll just wipe and flash a rom that doesn't need s-off. found one and it booted but I got force close errors all over the place. Then I decided I should just bring it back to stock.. which I was somewhat able to using GURU RUU. I have the phone able to boot 100% into the OS but due to a Firmware difference (that he mentions in his video...) My touch screen isn't functioning. My current state is able to boot into stock rom with no error but no touch screen, I can Load bootloader, fastboot, and recover (I have TWRP but CWM works as well). I have fastboot operations but no adb functionality with the one exception that I can run sideload in twrp and cwm. Not sure if it is a pc issue or a phone issue, although I have tried reinstalling drivers both with and with out sync installed. What is my next move? Do i get a OTG USB cable and do an OTA using a mouse? Or do I do something else? wanted to check with you guys before I jump out of the frying pan and into the fire... seems like i have been making one mistake after another on my own accord. thanks for you time and help.

Use otg cable +USB mouse to control the phone
sent from my mobile device
update
I have my otg cable and im able to use the usb mouse with it but I am unable to check for the at&t software update... i click on it and it puls up for a second and then goes away... any ideas?
Idea
I read somewhere that I can flash firmware with s-on as long as i re-lock the bootloader and the mid and cid match on the firmware that i flash to it... this would be done in the ruu flash boot? does that sound right and would this allow me to either get the ota update or flash the correct ruu OR would it possible get my adb functionality back to my bootloader so i can s-off and flash a stock ruu?

I can try but I am stuck in S-on would this be an issue? and I can flash from cwm and twrp would a stock nandroid help?
What GURU Reset file did you use? If it is same as nandroid for ATT, then it wont help.
You will need to lock the bootloader and run the RUU file I linked. If RUU doesn't like something on your phone (CID/MID/MAIN-ver mismatch) it will fail before flashing. If it starts flashing you should have a working device at the end.

You are the BEST! Thank you so much.. I have been racking my head trying to get this fixed... I am up and running again! My process
1. I had my phone unlocked bootloader, s-on, and twrp recovery
2. booted into trwp, and adb pushed the Guru stock installer
3. installed the zip, selecting to wipe data, no super user, and then I put the stock recovery and radios on
4. rebooted into bootloader and locked my bootloader
5. rebooted phone
6. ran the RUU that you provided me. (Thanks again)
7. phone booted up 100% working!!!!
8. Gave credit where credit was due!

when check signature, it failed
also i try to extract rom.zip to flash manually , failed too.( I do relock bootloader to flash RUU)
I flash stock recovery and custom, but when i flash TWRP and CWM then i enter recovey, the screen on HTC said Entering recovery but after that HTC reboot by itself. ( i do unlock bootloader to flash recovery)
Can anyone tell me what to do now?
Thank for your help.
Type fastboot erase cache after flashing custom recovery. Try entering recovery again
Also you can't flash lower version RUU because your device is s-on
Hi SaHiLzZ
I do fastboot erase cache, and it's okay, but i cant enter custom recovery, i try many version and many recovery, but it's not ok.
When i press Recovery, it still show Entering Recovery and restart device, any idea, please?

Hey, so I'm trying to return to 100% stock. It's been a long journey as my phone display is not working and I'm going blind here, going from screenshots, but I'm getting there. Anyways I got S-Off, flashed Stock RUU and now just wondering where I go from here?
I know I have to restore stock recovery, lock bootloader, turn S-On, and remove the tampered tag and return it to say "locked" and not re-locked, I just don't know what order and which stock recovery I need. Thanks for any help!

Hey, so I'm trying to return to 100% stock. It's been a long journey as my phone display is not working and I'm going blind here, going from screenshots, but I'm getting there. Anyways I got S-Off, flashed Stock RUU and now just wondering where I go from here?
I know I have to restore stock recovery, lock bootloader, turn S-On, and remove the tampered tag and return it to say "locked" and not re-locked, I just don't know what order and which stock recovery I need. Thanks for any help!

1. Now with USB Debugging enabled, use nkk71's guide post 4 Step 1 Method 1. You need to install CWM or TWRP for the adb commands.
2. Then complete the manual steps Method 1 to remove "Tampered" and to "Locked" the phone. Copy and paste the commands it is easier and safer.
3. Reboot the phone into bootloader per the instructions.
4. Skip step 2, you don't need to install the RUU.
5. Now we need to put the stock recovery back on the phone. You can get the stock recovery out of the last OTA. Download it to your PC, then open the zip file. Within the zip is the firmware.zip, open it and you will see recovery.img file this is the stock recovery. Just extract it to your adb & fastboot folder.
6. Flash it like you did the custom recovery earlier.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, flash stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
7. Going back to nkk71's guide step 3, complete the fastboot command to return to S-ON.
Step 3:
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
NOTE: reboot 3 times and make sure it doesnt say "tamper detected - rebooting" and then shows TAMPERED again
as far as I know, this was introduced in hboot 1.55
Now you are completely stock with no hint of root.
Ok got it. Just one last question. After I flash stock recovery will it remove TWRP? I don't want any signs of modification when I send my phone back in.

Yes, that is why you are putting the stock recovery on the phone. TWRP resides in the Recovery Partition and you can only have one recovery in that partition.
@majmoz
Ok so just installed TWRP, followed the recovery steps for Locked & Tampered status and rebooted into bootloader, but it's hard to tell if it says Locked. I don't see tampered, because it would be in pink or something. Fyi if I hold a bright light up to the sensor top left I can barely see the screen, but not enough to read if it says locked or not. Is there a way to check through ADB commans or take a screenshot of the bootloader?
@majmoz
Sorry man.. So close to finishing and I've run into another problem. Downloaded the OTA, extracted it, and then when I try to extract the recovery.img from the firmware zip it doesn't send it to the folder. I've even tried extracting the entire firmware zip to a folder, open the folder, and no files show up. :/

i attempted to unlock bootloader on my wife's old HTC M7 (Australian/Vodafone), i was able to unlock the bootloader, but had to do some serious trial and error to get a custom recovery installed, eventually got an older twrp loaded, but the phone just refused to boot into recovery.
i then relocked the bootloader (no S-OFF), and when i try and unlock he bootloader now, the phone attempts to boot into the recovery, and is failing...
i've been trying to find an RUU from somewhere, just to blat the phone back to an old state, and try again.
are there RUUs available anywhere? i dont' care if its not for the local carrier, i just want to get a basic android rom on the thing.
However, im curious if i need to s-off to do this (wasnt the case with my previous HTC)
help!
<<<I NOW KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, I WAS FLASHING RECOVERY FROM THE HTC M8, NOT M7>>>
any ideas?

Really bad idea to relock the bootloader with a custom recovery, well you shouldn't relock at all if there is anything "custom" installed on your phone.The process of unlocking bootloader requires the stock recovery. The only way to flash the recovery partition is when the bootloader is unlocked or by flashing a signed firmware.zip or ruu.zip. The firmware.zip or ruu.zip must match your version-main, CID and MID.

Its not working like that. If your phone is S-ON the ruu must be made for your carrier (must match CID and MID, must be same or newer version-main)

ok, i've been trying with a bunch of RUUs i found on the web, and trying to flash inside RUU (wasnt 100% sure what rebooting to RUU was for actually)
the CID is VODAP021, i will need to check when i get back home to see what the MID is, its not the GPE of the m7, if that helps, you reckon if i find an OTA update, and extract out the ruu.zip, it might blat a stock recovery on? will i need to use htc_fastboot, or just the standard fastboot?
my nexus 5 has finally shat it (small child cracked screen, now screen has crapped itself), just want to get a basic android build onto the m7 in the final few weeks before the new pixel phones are out...

You can extract a firmware.zip (not an ruu) from an ota update and flash it to restore the stock recovery. You must use the right version. Waiting for your fastboot getvar all.

7.21.980.51 is the latest version for vodap021 and can't find a 7.21.980.51 firmware.zip or ota.zip.
At least there is a 7.21.980.51 ruu on ir-file.com, bad news is that you must register to this website to be able to download (20$ for 30 days)

i can load the phone into the OS btw, i've a feeling that OTA might on the device, you think its' accessible using a non-root browser? i could maybe get the ota zip off the device and try flashing that in RUU?

Yes, if you can capture the ota this is the best option (because its free). Look in your /download folder, you're looking for a long file name starting with "OTA_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60" and ending with ".zip". Save it on your computer and extract the "firmware.zip" file from it. Then reboot in RUU mode and flash the firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then you should be able to unlock again.
it worked! thank you..
