Help finding M7 on Windows 10 to use ADB - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have been lurking for a while, but can't seem to find anything on my current issue. I am brand new to development and was able to sim unlock my old CM11 M7, reinstall CM11, and even rescue it from a bootloop through adb. That was all through windows 8.1.
I just bought a phone from ebay that is caught in a bootloop. No idea if USB debugging is enabled (does that matter for adb?), what ROMs were installed, etc. It looks like it's not rooted, but the Hboot says unlocked/tampered. I can access recovery (TWRP), fastboot/Hboot, but I cannot get my computer to recognize the phone in device manager (no misc. devices even appear when it's plugged in). I have tried installing various drivers, running/updating htc sync, and at one point, it even recognized the phone as a misc. device, but I wasn't able to do anything practical, nor replicate those conditions. I have windows 10 and have just wiped all of the htc programs.
Ideally, I plan to access adb, push a stock rom, check the imei (don't even know if it's stolen or not at this point), then find a custom rom that'll work with it (that still has ir blaster working).
My understanding is very limited, but I learn quick and would be very grateful for any help and insight into my situation!
Thank you very much for reading and for your time!

Install the drivers here. Then yes, you need to enable USB debugging for adb to work

Thanks to the mods who moved me here. I will post these questions in the Q&A from now on!

Thank you for the reply!
I think the cord was faulty, but device manager now sees my phone as an unknown device titled: "m7wls"
With everything HTC removed, I installed the driver you had recommended, but device manager still shows the caution symbol/"!" . I tried manually browsing for the driver and automatically searching, to no avail. I think I have found the unpacked version of the driver online as well, if it would help to put that somewhere and have device manager find that? I'm a little lost.

This is disconcerting because I do not have access to a rom. Is there a way to enable USB debugging through TWRP? Here's hoping the last owner had it enabled :fingers-crossed:

Ok well USB debugging is enabled by default in recovery and there is no way to toggle it anyway

Shameless bump!
Alright guys, I have the weekend to work on this project and I'm doing my research now.
In ADB, the phone does not appear in device manager, nor will it appear in command prompt; adb under devices. In fastboot, IT APPEARS (as "My HTC")!!! It also connects via command prompt; fastboot!
In recovery, it shows as m7wls.
I think I need to access adb to push a rom and cannot via fastboot, right? If so, is there anything else I can try?

If your using any TWRP version 2.8.3.0 and up, you can just drag and drop the file like normal. Just open Computer and you should see something like "One" or "MTP Device"

EDIT: disregard the following, TWRP is at 2.6.3.0
Ha, no way, that'd be way too easy! Uhh, but how? The phone appears in the device manager, but not as a storage device under my computer.
While in recovery, Windows device manager shows my phone as an exclamation point without a driver (after installing the latest one linked above) as "m7wls". I took it upon myself to do a manual installation (device manager>m7wls>update driver software>browse>let me pick from driver software on the computer>My HTC) and now it appears as "My HTC". This has not rectified the absence from my computer.
So back to the adb push idea: the phone appears in device manager as My HTC in fastboot and recovery, but does not appear at while in Hboot, for adb.

Download the latest TWRP image here(its 2.8.7.0) and flash it in fastboot and then you should have access to your internal storage using windows explorer

I can do that...
Except, the only hangup is that I cannot push TWRP onto my phone without adb, right? fastboot will flash, but not push, I thought I had understood. I'm new though.
This is all a very strange and interesting process, so I really appreciate your patience and attention here, man (or ma'am)! It's some fun problem solving!
If I can push a file onto my phone, everything would be solved. The lack of rom, and lack of drivers seem to be the main issues.

You don't need to push anything on your phone if you're using fastboot. Just putt your TWRP.img in your adb folder on your PC and flash using flastboot flash recovery "recovery name".img. After that you just drag and drop ROM.zip using MTP in your recovery

Dude, I completely forgot you could do that. AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Lol, Ok, let me see what I can do and post back some results.
Thank you sooooo much again, you guys!

Alright, so for all intents and purposes, I'm up and running. I can swap the ROMs I need and do well enough with TWRP and Fastboot. Unfortunately, I still do not have access to my device in ADB. It still doesn't show in device manager.
I had thought that installing a sense ROM and plugging it into the computer would automatically rectify this, then I even plugged in a SIM card for a software update, but I guess they won't update a tampered device.
Where can I go from here? I assume that it's just Windows 10 compatibility issues?
EDIT: phone's rooted and unlocked bootloader.

Now go to settings/about/software info and click on build number untill it says "you are a developer now". Then settings/developer optinions and enable USB debugging

Yessir, no effect.
EDIT:Wait, for S&Gs, I tried "adb devices" while in the system of a sense rom and it shows, but as unauthorized. I'm going to play some more.
EDIT 2: Wiping everything and starting from scratch.

Bump again,
Back to ground zero:
I uninstalled all HTC programs and drivers
I reinstalled SDK and all the components
I have adb files placed in root of C:/
I installed the latest drivers
Device manager still only recognizes my android in fastboot, recovery, and system, but not ADB. (everything lists as android USB Devices>MY HTC
Phone is rooted, unlocked, and USB debugging is enabled.
What am I missing?
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.61.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.21.3263.04

Maybe there are some other basics I am missing? I installed jdk previously before.

i did find a way to connect the phone to the computer (it is visable as a HTC in device manager list)
but still not reachable thru explorer
At this point it does only connect to the computer when booting in HBOOT (hboot usb)
are there any options to use it as a drive or something while booting in HBOOT since the phone won't be seen by the computer when i power up normally

Can you enter recovery?
Doing any kind of system update is generally unadvisable on an s-off device. You may have mentioned this at some point but I missed it: By not booting, do you mean bootloop? What Rom did you have installed?

i used to have a cynogen mod rom with an bootloader being able to flash zip files from the sd card (dont know wich one anymore)
after wanting back the stock rom i did a downgrade from cynogen to the stock rom with the original hboot ( so basicly factory settings)
When turn on the phone and go into HBOOT i can do a recovery or a factory reset and go into usb boot mode.
both the recovery and the restore option don't work, after a while the phone does reset and get stuck at a white screen with green HTCC letters THATS IT.
going into HBOOT usb mode the phone is found as a HTC device in the device manager but not shown in the explorer so still not reachable
I think you're still far away from having enough knowledge to even explain what problem you have, cause you obviously don't know the meaning and difference between bootloader and recovery.
You need to find some good noob tutorial and learn how it all works and how all should be done.

When you get set up, post the output of the command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
remove info like imei and serial number before posting.
Just connect your phone in fastboot mode, check if you have HTC Sync and if drivers are installed. If drivers are not installed (and you have exclamation mark over it in Device Manager) choose to update driver and lead it to folder HTC in Program Files, there you have 2 different folders with drivers try both of them.
After that command prompt should see your phone in fastboot mode with
fastboot devices
Command.
Then simply flash recovery from fastboot
fastboot flash recovery c:\'path to your recovery'
Recovery can be obtained on RomManager site. After that just restore some of your backups or flash a clean new rom.
If that doesn't work, and shoud work, you can always run newest stocks ICS.
And one more question, how do you think to get your phone connected in storage mode (so you can see it in explorer) when you can't boot it up or boot to recovery???

ok this might sound stupid.
do you mean in a dos box within windows?
if i open a dos box ( cmd ) and type this commando i get an error like this is not recognized as an internal or external command
since the phone is only in the device mannager list i still have no option to get connected with it (thru explorer or something like that)

First, you don't wanna read and you want help, so why are we typing.
Second, for fastboot commands you nead ADB installed or at least fastboot.exe, and you have to lead command prompt to location of ADB tools.
And, at the end, to get phone recognized as a storage (or how you say a drive) YOUR PHONE HAS TO BE BOOTED AND CONNECTED TO PC AS A STORAGE DEVICE OR BOOTED TO A WORKING RECOVERY AND MOUNTED AS STORAGE DEVICE.
I still think that you need to read some tutorial about Android functioning, ADB, phone working mods and partitions and how to handle them. Also, for difference, try to read what we are typing...
1. Ensure you have installed the drivers for your phone model.
2. Search the forums on 'fastboot' (it is obvious you are not setting/using it correctly if you get that error - I know I did )
3. SDCard will only be seen by PC once Android system is booted up or HBOOT is loaded correctly then it can be accessed through HBOOT using fastboot - it will NOT show up as an external drive on the PC in it's current state.
4. Small steps, if you know roughly which rom you had installed I would use that to recover your phone from, starting with HBOOT then RECOVERY one at a time, to know what and how takes reading up in the forums for your phone and rom.

Yes I did mean a cmd window. As stated previously, you need fastboot and adb installed. If you use my downgrade script (link in Sig) and unzip it, it contains the correct files. You need your drivers installed though (install and uninstall HTCsync) and you need to cd to the files directory.

drives might still be the problem.
there are no exclamation marks in the device manager. in the device manages i got a "Android usb device - My HTC" but adb wont show up any connected device.
checked thru "adb devices" there are no connected devices shown
Reboot to fastboot and type
fastboot devices
Not adb devices, abd commands can be used from recovery or a booted device. Try to google something about fastboot commands, you will find a lot of it.
If it's like my phone there may not be any output for 'devices' after executing the devices command with fastboot you get a blank return and your command prompt back in the command window.
Other commands can be sent regardless of an actual 'devices' returned name, at least that is what I get, with your phones problem atm the same may apply.

[Q] Clockworkmod stuck in recovery loop for rooting. Unable to terminal connect

Hope I can find some help as I ran into what seems to be a pretty serious issue. I haven't been able to find any steps that gets my phone back into booting the actual OS, so posting my specific problem seems to be the only option. A lot of thanks for anyone that can possibly help.
So, followed these instructions to root my phone and get it ready for installing a new ROM, but got stuck at instruction 18.
Which says: (a few before too)
16. OK Now the bootloader is unlocked. Time to install a recovery. In Terminal ./adb reboot bootloader
17. In terminal ./fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img (I used recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img)
18. After recovery has flashed POWER DOWN PHONE COMPLETELY Then restart it
Once I did that, I restarted my phone and it loaded up clockwork recovery screen. This seemed fine, but every time I clicked to restart system it keeps on putting me back to this screen.
* I've tried clearing cache and booting, creating a backup and restoring and booting,
* I've got to the bootloader of the OS, but when I go to recovery, it brings me back here.
* I can't connect via the terminal w/ adb or fastboot as it complains it can't connect to device or just waiting for device.
* Neither the Android File Manager nor HTC Sync Manager can connect.
* I've tried only having one application installed for file management hoping that it's just a conflict, but to no avail.
* Can't use an sdcard load since there's no sdcard
* Trying a sideload doesn't work because I can't connect to the device.
I'm afraid I bricked my phone. I hope someone can offer some suggestions.
Again, thank you for your time.

You can't reboot into bootloader with a longpress of Power + Vol- button under a strong light?
I can get there, to bootloader by using the power and volume down, but no matter what option i pick it gets me back to clockworkmod. I've tried connecting then via terminal, but still nothing. Pretty frustrating.
In fastboot with the command:
Code:
fastboot devices
you can't see your phone?
If yes, flash the latest TWRP/CWM, do an erase cache and flash or sideload a rom
Right, nothing is output w/ that. Neither in bootloader or clockworkmod screen.
You've the right driver installed?
And, in device manager you can see your phone without any yellow triangle?
p.s. are you using windows, right?
Forgot to mention that, I'm on a Macbook Pro.
So Fastboot flash different recovery does not work?
When you where in recovery, did you flash any new ROM?

So you have to add a

In fastboot type:

and check if you can see your device

Thanks for the command... sadly it just says waiting for device. The core problem it seems now is that my computer won't recognize the USB connection for this device.
I think I just found out what I did wrong
instead of running this:
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img
I ran this:
/fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7.img
based on command history. Crap.

Yeah, I know, only way you can get the whole process working is by adding ./ or if you wanted to put it on your $PATH variable, but that would be pointless.
Well your op says you attempted to do backups and restore, so you obviously seem to have CWM installed.

Yeah, it's installed. Just I think now because it was put on as a boot vs recovery it's treating it as the OS, possibly, so when I try to boot the system,it just boots CWM. The OS is there though, if I do a backup you can see all the files (especially proprietary stuff from HTC) still on the drive. But w/o access to it via terminal I don't know if there's a way to fix the boot problem. I can get to the bootloader,if I only it could mount to my computer from there (or even in CWM). Access to the phones drive seems to be the only way to clean it up.

* Trying a sideload doesn't work because I can't connect to the device.
I'm afraid I bricked my phone. I hope someone can offer some suggestions.
Again, thank you for your time.

As I gathered from your description, you are using a MAC.
I think you should use your friends PC to use the command to install the recovery and see if it solves the problem.
Alternatively you can use Heimdall Terminal fir MAC, which is sort of ODIN for MAC and try to reinstall your firmware.

I can use virtual box now... i'll give it a try.
I use Mac as well and I ran into same connectivity problems as you do, but it was not during unlocking, rooting.. I had a Bootloop going with some mods conflicts, anyway, not important. I used my missus win 7 laptop and there it would see it and I could fix my problems there. Mac has had issues with SdK not working.
Alas, do run the Fastboot flash recovery command if you get it talking, as you temporarily can access CWM before flashing it permanently.

I have a similar problem
My specs:
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT 1.44 UNLOCKED
RADIO 1.00.20.0626
OpenDSP v31.120.274.0617
eMMC-boot
Jul 5 2013, 17:19:22:-1
TWRP v2.6.3 - working correctly
I have no backup and no ROM on my phone
I can access HBOOT just fine via power + vol down
Team Win Recovery also seems to function properly
My phone is not listed under adb devices
and the worst of all, my phone won't connect to my PC!!
Here is the problem,
I got bored with my stock ROM, so I decided to try CyanogenMod 10.1. Having installed a few ROMs in the past, I felt comfortable tampering with the software on my HTC One (Sprint). I first had clockworkmod flashed and I booted to HBOOT and wiped everything I had an option to wipe. I fear this was my mistake, I also did not create a backup prior to my tampering. After wiping my phone with clockwork, I tried moving the Cyanogen zip to my phone. This is when I noticed my phone would not connect to the PC. I tried different PC's and cords. I am using USB 2.0 and the laptop even makes a ding noise when I enter fastboot usb. My phone is not listed in C: drive, device manager, or adb devices.
I now have flashed TWRP and made sure all my drivers are up to date. I installed HTC Sync Manager, which can not find my phone. I tried to send the cyanogen zip to my phone via fastboot flash zip cm-10.1.3-m7spr.zip. This failed to pass signature verification test. I thought being unlocked bypassed the sig check but I guess not. I tried to gain S-OFF using revone. I couldn't send revone to my phone either. I also tried installing the stock ruu. I got my phone to the black HTC screen and ran the ruu.exe and whammo! ERROR [155] UNKNOWN ERROR...
I'm looking for a way to move my rom zip file to my phone so I can install via TWRP. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

[Q] Htc One Bricked? Not sure...[SOLVED]

Not sure what had gone wrong... I believe the phone may be bricked. I rooted the device and sometime after I attempted to unroot it. Several attempts later with guides from here, htcguru, and many RUU's later it still does not work. It has reached the point where it no longer boots to any sort of rom, rather it will only boot into TRWP's recovery system. previously it would boot to an old rom that was loaded onto it with twrp from htc guru's website. it did nto have any touch compatibility and only the volume and power buttons would work.
I now also cannot access the phone from a computer, the PC (windows) recognizes it in the device manager, but it doesn't show up in windows explorer (maybe because it wont boot anything but the twrp recovery?)
No RUU's can fix it apparently, they will only say they either cannot connect to the phone, or an unknown error occurs and it simply cannot update the phone.
I've tried All-in-one kit, nothing seems to work. I am really at a loss, I spent 14 hours straight trying to unroot it, only progressively making it worse. I also could not get it to accept a mouse input from an otg cable whilst in the no touch input rom, don't know why..
Is this phone now inevitably ****ed beyond repair? I have pretty much given up all hope, I think the last time I asked for help with anything computer related was well over 3 years ago. I finally met my match in the hack and crack world, I read a lot of pages and guides, watched alot of videos, and even the HTC Dev site had me convinced this would be simple, easy, and painless work. Boy was I fooled.
I don't even know where to look anymore for answers, any I have no idea what information to give you guys, please excuse my apparent utter noobness and help me, I will provide as much information as I can, if I can.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you both for responding, and any others who try to help, again, I normally don't request or even need help, usually I can solve problems after tinkering for 9-12 hours, this time I decided I would ask because I fear I may be a hop, skip, and jump away from owning a $300 paperweight/bonfire-material...

TWRP 2.6.0.1 is very outdated. You'll need TWRP 2.6.3.3 to be able to flash 4.4+ roms.

Woooh! Don't relock your bootloader! Its only needed to flash a RUU with s-on but there is no available for your phone!
Did you made a nandroid backup of your phone? If yes then restore it. if no, your only solution atm is to flash a custom rom (I personnaly recommend ARHD 53)
Is your bootloader still unlocked? If yes then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <twrp2.6.3.3>.img
fastboot erase cache [COLOR="Red"]<------ important[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Download your custom rom and adb push it or adb sideload it from twrp recovery.

I was getting that feeling after about 8 hours of button pressing, t-mobile jingles, and seemingly endless reading of interwebs, that there wasn't any sort of RUU for my phone, thank god. This means I can stop performing Einstein's definition of insanity...
TWRP v2.6.3.3, right... This should be the correct link for me right? (below) Also the line in command prompt should be "<openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7>.img" without quotes, should I decide not to rename it, correct? **EDIT** Will not let me post outside links, the link in this page will take you to techerrata, I used the dl link marked 2.6.3.3, also worth noting there is a 2.7.0.0, should I bother with 2.7? or leave it be.

Bad thing I locked the bootloader? It's currently unlocked for the hundredth time it seems, under your recommendation I will leave it unlocked. Further under your recommendation, the link below should be the version of ARHD 53 needed for my phone also, correct? **DOUBLE EDIT** No link to the outside world aloud, below there is a link to the android rev blogspot, I picked the first dl under HTC One, KitKat 4.4.2.

As I believe I mentioned earlier, it appears, at the moment, impossible to transfer files over to the phone via usb, it shows up in device manager, but not in windows explorer under "My Computer." If you have an idea around that that would be fantastic, although not particularly needed, the HTC Sync Manager 'drive' that usually also appears also no longer shows up, however the drivers were loaded into this computer already, but the folder in the fake drive containing drivers was not copied (i iz stupidz.)
Also I don't believe I made the nandroid backup, I don't know why, actually I do, it's because I was an idiot and didn't bother to take the normal precautions.
The whole reason I ever wanted to root the device was for s-off, It only turned into a nightmare, I obviously dont even want to do that (well not right now, I'll have to talk to more intelligent types before attempting it,) so since I cannot figure out how to drag and drop (perhaps a way through command prompt?) the files to the phone, can I get a guide or a link to a guide, and please make it into kind-noob-langauge for me, to use abd to push it (ARHD) to the phone, or use it to transfer it to the phone where I can then use TWRP to flash/sideload/not perfectly sure what sideload is, into place.
Sorry for tl;dr; though, I have a feeling you guys are somewhat used to it.
Thanks greatly, I see the faint light on the other end getting brighter, lets hope I'm in a tunnel and not dying.

I'll recommend you to use 2.6.3.3 not 2.7 , there is a minor bug with 2.7 which will prevent the screen to turn off when charging the phone when powered off.
Make sure your recovery file and your rom is in the same folder were abd and fastboot are on your computer.
Boot your phone in bootloader mode, select fastboot then connect usb cable
open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastoot folder (hold shift + right click a blank space in the folder, select ''start a commend prompt here'')
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

It worked! Yay. I greatly thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now it's just as good as it was before, and better. Using the sense toolkit, love it, and more importantly, the phone is actually normal now, double love it.
I really do like the area rom, I installed Xposed, and used it to update to the latest sense toolkit. Everything is wonderful. Stayed away from twrp 2.7, and we'll yeah, it's all good.
How do I give you some kind of 'kudos' or something along those lines. It's worth mentioning that this thread question can be marked as solved, not sure how to do it myself on the app. But I will try to hunt it down.
Also, I would like to see a link to anything that contains all this miraculous knowledge within your brain, without having to pull a matrix stunt. Videos for everything you think I should watch, guides to read, and pictures to stare at. I would honestly love to be able to look at the Greek I gave to you and nearly instantly be able to both understand what is wrong, and how I fix it.
Wow, just wow, thank you. I nearly turned my phone into a $300 paperweight over the course of 14 or so hours, and you solved the problem in less than 10 posts combined. Epic Android Kudos.

Also, I would like to see a link to anything that contains all this miraculous knowledge within your brain, without having to pull a matrix stunt. Videos for everything you think I should watch, guides to read, and pictures to stare at. I would honestly love to be able to look at the Greek I gave to you and nearly instantly be able to both understand what is wrong, and how I fix it.

Guide to return stock from nkk71. There is good informationd in the FAQ.
Guide to push or sideload a rom
There is many more, but those 2 are essential to recover a soft bricked phone
There is also great guides from ARHD blogspot here
@alray
Wonderful, I've been reading and to my understanding my phone in its current state is no longer able to have S-off, is that right? I believe if has to do with an update that occurred not so long ago, and I of course not knowing well enough did opt for the update. Also I have no idea whether any sort of backup would have been helpful or not.
I'm going to spend a great deal of time reading those guides, what I should have done before ever making an attempt at rooting and S-off, so yeah... Time to hit the books.

[Q] HTC One (M7) Bricked???

Hello. I have the following problem. I friend of mine that I've sold him my old rooted Htc One tried to make 4.4. kitkat
He tried to install
Android_Revolution_HD-One-53.0zip
BUT I don't know how he managed to stuck his phone.The problem is when I am power on the phone it shows the white HTC screen with the red letters "this build is for development purpose only..." after a while reboots in TWRP v2.5.0.0
And that's it , I cannot do anything because my PC won't recognize it via USB cable.
Any suggestions?
(excuse me for my English, with love from Greece )
As long as it boots into Recovery its not bricked. Do you have the HTC Driver installed on your computer?
Android Revolution HD 53 requires min. TWRP 2.6.3.3. Your version is too old.

From recovery go to fastboot connect phone to pc.
It must be recognized.
Then flash boot.img which is in the Revolution.zip.
Then install the rom via recovery.
Remember for unlock and not s-off users the boot.img must be flashed befor flashing a rom.zip.

i am doing as you say, but it's not recognized.
I only get a message android phone, not installed properly
SAME problem (or pretty similar) here

SAME problem (or pretty similar) here, trying to instal ARHD61.1... I don't know how did I screw up this so much...
My bootloader is TAMPERED, UNLOCKED, S-On. Recovery TRWP (2.7) launches but... many things don't work.
First thing I have to mention is that I didn't forget to enable debugging before all this started (and now I can't launch android to do it).
My HTC drivers should be up-to-date, as I installed yesterday HTC sync 3.00.52...
In bootloader, if I type "fastboot devices" I get "FA34HW903605 fastboot", and "fastboot reboot.bootloader" does what it is expected to do...
In recovery, "adb push" tells me "error: device not found".
Can someone help me? If you need more details, just ask. Thanks

Let me try and I'll tell you later. I also think it's a matter of drivers, so I was downloading and re-installing it... Thank you for your help
-------------------------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I followed your steps (LET ME THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT GUIDE) and now the device is "My HTC" as you show.
Something has changed:
If I type "adb devices" (in PC) when phone is in fastboot, the listing is void (before I got "FA34HW903605 fastboot"), and if I do the same while phone is in recovery, I get the mentioned "FA34HW903605 recovery".
In Windows7 I don't see "My HTC" as a conventional USB storage or Memory of a Camera (should it be?)
I've managed to ADB PUSH a ROM (ARHD) in recovery, but now I get an error message: "Unable to mount '/data' " and "Unable to mount internal storage " then FAILED. Now I'll try flashing a new recovery...
WOW WOW WOW!! It was enough for me, sir
1st) Solve comunnication issues as shown in FAQ #2 here
2nd) Solve TWRP recovery mount issues by:
2.a) Installing any other (clockwork) in fastboot using One All In One Kit (eaaaasy)
2.b) Formatting cache, system, data partitions
2.c) Installing TWRP again using One All In One Kit (Android Revolution REQUIRES this recovery)
2.d) Sending the ROM ('adb push your_rom.zip /sdcard/wherever_you_want_it')
2.e) Installing it from TWRP recovery.
An that was all. THANKS A LOT nkk71; without your help I still would be here trying to figure out what's broken... Thanks.

no problem, glad to be of help
remember for most 4.4 ROMs, (for m7_u/ul) TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or higher) is recommended at the moment.
though you should be good by downloading it, then checking MD5 to make sure the download isnt corrupt (that site doesnt work with download managers), then:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery and push the rom
Thank you all for your support, but still the problem remains.
I have installed HTC Drivers and when i connect the HtcOne i can hear the USB beep from windows but i cannot open the phone like a drive.
In other words i cannot add files to the phone :crying::crying:

It wont be so easy, I'm afraid. Even if comunication issues are solved, you won't be able to copy your ROM using windows file manager, opening the phone like a conventional drive...
You have to install "ADB" in your PC (search in HTC ONE subforums, there's a lot of info about ADB pusing (=copying) ROMS) and use it to copy your ROM. One advice: while "pushing" the ROM, be patient: it takes a long time. When your ROM is "pushed", just install it in recovery and... that's it!!
I think here you have a good starting point.

Hey, congratulations!! :good::good::good:

[Q] HTC One, tampered, unlocked, S-ON, no OS, device not foun on laptop. Cluster****.

Hi xda!
I recently got a HTC One from a friend, as my old phone was worn out. It turned out he had rooted it, tampered with it, the whole nine yards. I was not told he had rooted it, so I accepted a prompt asking me to update the phone to what I believe was 4.4.2, KitKat. I now realize that should not have been done. When the phone restarted it went to the HTC startup logo, into a kind of blue screen (not the BSOD), the Google logo flashed on the screen for 0.5 seconds, and then it got stuck on this weird blue/turqoise screen. Nothing happened.
I called my friend, he told me he rooted it etc., and that I should try a factory reset, and if that didn't work, complete reset (including the system folder wipe). That obviously didn't work, but I didn't know any better as I have never touched a rooted phone in my life, and I'm thus a complete noob when it comes to terminology, what steps to take and so on.
Now I have a phone with no OS, stuck at the HTC logo when I start it normally, and all I can do is boot up into bootloader. I can also access TWRP. I have installed HTC Sync on my laptop, but the phone is not detected properly (meaning, the "device connected" sound is played, and I can find "Android device" in device manager, but the HTC Sync can't find the phone) when connected through a USB. It is not the USB that came with the phone. I also installed Squabbi's HTC One toolkit, which basically is the one-click interface of pushing revone etc. to the phone. Problem is, "error, device not detected".
I've browsed around for a good six hours without any luck, other than that I've started to understand how this is all connected.
Phone is
*TAMPERED*
*UNLOCKED*
M7_UL
S-ON
HBOOT 1.44.0000
RADIO-4A.14.3250.13
OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
I pray to the mighty tech gods of xda to help me out. I looked for similar threads, couldn't find any that were simple and similar enough for me to understand. I must admit I'm very keen to learn this, so if someone know of any place where basic terminology is explained, I'd really appreciate that. Other than that, a step by step instruction on how to proceed from this cluster**** would also be highly appreciated (what I need installed on my laptop, where I can find ROM's, what flashing means etc.).
Thank you in advance!

well a lot of the work seems to already be done
your unlocked / rooted which means you should have a custom recovery installed.
boot the phone by holding the power + volume down
this will bring up the bootloader. use the volume key to choose recovery aand hit the power button. when you boot into recovery come back and report the name and version of recovery. I.E. Teamwin recovery 2.5.0.0 or clockworkmod 6.0.3.1 ...I'll be here the next couple hrs

Version of TWRP is 2.5.0.0. Currently trying to re-install an OS. Need one that the current version of TWRP can flash to the phone, as flashing a new version of TWRP does not work. I have no preferences when it comes to OS's. A stock OS (is OS and ROM the same thing?) would be fine.
Also, found out that doing stuff on a Windows 7 laptop was easier than on my own Windows 8. The phone is at least detected on the Windows 7, which means I will be able to flash stuff to it through cmd, something I wasn't able to do from the Windows 8.

Well your going to need adb / fastboot on your PC
use mine here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wzwt8843zx27nh/Fastboot.zip
and install the HTC Drivers here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
unzip that to c:\ so you have c:\fastboot in windows explorer
now inside the folder you shift + right click / command prompt here
now you have a command prompt window type
fastboot getvar all
and post the result here / minus your serial number and IMEI
then i can find you the correct recovery and rom for your phone

yes window 8 will be a problem till you get another hboot above 1.44/1.54

great your about done ...your phone will be android 4.3 when it finishes
don't take any updates to the OS
cmd said it sent the ROM to the phone. I was in the TWRP adb sideload on my phone when it was transferred. Then that was it. 100% on cmd. Phone shut down. Suddenly discovered I had to install on the phone. WAT. I do so, then wait until completion. I anxiously restart the phone. It's alive again!
Really, thanks so much clsA! You made me a very happy person! :victory:
