Try this method for pushing a ROM to your phone:

Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,

You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:

Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:

Hey guys, I'm seriously stuck. I think I bricked my phone...
I rooted my phone per the instructions in this forum, I installed SuperSU. Now I went to install CM from a nightly build and that failed - but since I had already wiped the local system now I'm stuck without an OS! I tried to use the sideload feature but it just stays stuck on "Starting ADB sideload feature"
Now what? Is this now a brick phone?! Pleas help!

Appreciate the help - BUT - the issue was that my PC wasn't "seeing" the device. "adb devices" was showing nothing even with cable connected and booted as described. Furthermore, it was getting 'stuck' on starting the sideload feature. What I ended up doing it connecting it to my Mac (by mounting /system and turning on MTP (in TWRP) and my Mac saw it. Then I used Android transfer app to move over an older nightly build of Cyanogenmod and tried the an install again - and everything is great.
Thanks
Hey everyone, I accidentally formatted everything in my phone including the custom ROM that i installed (ARHD) I just meant to format the data and all the media storage on the phone because I'm giving it to someone and accidentally I deleted everything :/ Now i have no more OS on this phone and all i have is the recovery (TWRP v2.8.0.2)
The device can be found when typed "adb devices" on the command prompt but when I try to sideload a .zip file in (and yes I went to the advanced option ADB sideload) it would give an error of device not found. Please help

Okay,
Basically my friend wanted to put cm12 on his stock htc one, so we unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and went to install cm12 by wiping cache, dalvik, data and system, suddenly we got errors saying failed to mount, and also "unmount of /system failed: no such volume". After we did this, we realise it might have had something to do with "S-ON", but we didn't have a clue what it was. we have tried multiple methods to try and fix this or at least flash some kind of rom, but to no avail. We have basically bricked the device. Can anyone suggest anything? My friend has left his phone with me to try and fix but so far I have found nothing that works.
Thanks in advance!

Oh my god I am an idiot, turns out the version of TWRP we were using was over a year old, I just updated to the latest version, and now it works and I've managed to put cm12 on it Thanks anyway
Note to anyone else: ALWAYS check the recovery is up to date
I accidentally wiped everything off my m7. Now I don't have an OS or anything on my phone Except for TWRP. so I used an android file transfer program to transfer a custom rom to my phone. Now I have a rom zip on my phone but every time I try to flash it using recovery, It fails and gives me random errors.

Try this method:

Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You need TWRP recovery on your device.
We still recommend to use version 2.6.3.3 for all roms
except if another version is specified in the rom OP.
Use 2.7.1.1+ for roms that require "block:by-name" support (CM11)
Unlock bootloader if not already unlocked:
Thanks to Electroz for the video tutorial
Flash TWRP Recovery:
Make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
reboot phone in bootloader mode
Flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You need your HTC drivers correctly installed on your PC:
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone any ways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didn't install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone
