[Q] HELP - Bricked HTC One m7vzw (Verizon)

So I got carried away with trying to get rid of that three dot menu button at the bottom of the screen and I've slowly managed to work myself into a really bad problem. I'm not necessarily new to this, I've rooted my Droid 2, Droid 3, and GS3, but this has been more complicated for me.
Anyways, my problem is, I was trying to wipe my phone so that I could flash a ROM. This is because I couldn't access my settings (I overwrote the original in an attempt to get rid of the multitask button). But while I was in CWM I factory reset it but I also accidentally deleted the system. My bootloader is unlocked, but now my phone is on and I can't get into recovery, and I'm assuming it's because the whole system is gone so there's nothing to boot.
Another problem I had (while my phone was able to boot up completely), Android File Transfer wouldn't work, I downloaded a rom for the settings.apk but it wouldn't let me transfer files between my computer and phone. I emailed the .apk to myself but since I couldn't access settings I wasn't able to pick my usual email (although now I'm thinking I should have just used the email I first signed in with). Not as much of a concern but input is still welcome.
I've looked up RUU but it looks like it's not available yet for Verizon. Any possible solutions would be MUCH appreciated.

Don't worry, your device is not bricked.
If your bootloader works well, you must select fastboot and flash the recovery via fastboot.exe in the command line. Now you should be able to get into recovery.
If you wiped your partitions, you can have a trouble with mounting /sdcard. Then you should get an OTG Micro USB cable and put ROM on your USB stick, but I'm not sure if TWRP recovery for HTC One supports mounting flash memory from USB host.

I'm stuck on the green HTC logo screen and the red warning about the bootloader. I can't boot into recovery anymore. By the way I'm using a Mac but I do have a PC running Windows 8 if there's solutions I could try

I tried flashing into recovery via fastboot but my computer doesn't recognize my device. And I'm pretty sure I had drivers installed since that's how I unlocked the bootloader in the first place..

Install the latest drivers and try from a windows 7 pc (or windows 8, win 8.1 doesn't work well)

Reinstall drivers if you haven't already and try the correct file for your 'Modelid' here. It's the only way I got mine to work again after i did the same thing.
Note: The file i used had a different software version but it still flashed ok.
After that, if you can find the right Nandroid you now have the ability to flash that

Where could I find a nandroid for Verizon? I feel like Verizon is the most difficult to find.

FIXED
I was finally able to boot into recovery and thank goodness had a CWM backup. Thanks for your input guys.

Nexus Rootkit Fastboot not found

I am using the Nexus Root Toolkit to try and install the latest version of TWRP and Rootkit will reboot my phone into bootloader mode just fine, but when it checks fastboot connectivity, it can't find my phone.
Any ideas what is causing this?

Already installed that(even removed and reinstalled) and still no luck. My PC sees my phone as a Nexus 6, the toolkit sees it, just when it reboots it cant detect fastboot. Not sure what to do.

Can't flash TWRP

Hi. I decided to flash my Honor 3c with Cyanogenmod 12.1. My problem is that i need TWRP (now I have CWM) but i can't flash it to my device. I try to do it by SP Flash Tool, but after i connect my turned off device, I get this error:
BROM ERROR : S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4)
[H/W] Fail to download DA to baseband chip's internal SRAM!
[HINT]: 1. There's an cable communication problem between FlashTool and BootROM. 2. Target might be shutdown unexpectedly or target lost power supply.
[ACTION] 1. Try again. 2. Proceed H/W checking in download cable and target side com port. 3. Monitor if power-drop occured in target side.

Is your phone in bootloader mode? Hold Vol down+power to enter fastboot mode and then connect your phone to PC.
If you are already doing that or the problem still persists and have an unlocked bootloader(which I am sure you have), try to flash twrp manually.

When I do it, my phone just turns on normally.
How can I check if I have unlocked bootloader? I have unlocked it about 1 year ago, but I did full wipe yesterday.

Vol down+power should boot into fastboot. Turn off the phone, hold both until honor logo shows up, let go of power but hold vol down for about 5 sec more.
If still the same, Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to phone, hold Vol down and connect the cable to computer. It should boot into bootloader now.
If it can not boot into bootloader still, the last is to try adb but that is a bit lengthy.
In bootloader mode, it will be written on phone screen in red whether phone is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Wipe does not effect bootloader status so it's still unlocked imo.

Nope. Maybe I was wrong and I have never unlocked it? I don't remember, but I did something when I was upgrading my phone to Android 4.4.2

At least it should say, phone locked. Saying nothing is a phenomenon i never heard before but I usually go for newer versions. May be that's the case.
Anyways use adb to fire this command
Fastboot OEM device-info
To be sure if its locked or not.
To setup adb, download and install latest Android SDK, run the program and only download platform-tools.
Your phone is international variant and it came with locked bootloader, I am sure sp tools unlocked it coz otherwise CWM could not be flashed.
Right click platform-tools folder and select run command prompt window here and type the above command
If the bootloader is unlocked (it will tell you if it is), copy the twrp image to platform-tools folder and rename it to twrp.img and fire this command
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And try to reboot into recovery after disconnecting from pc and simultaneously holding power+ Vol up.

edit: nevermind, i forghot about something...

You dont have your phone drivers installed. Google Huawei USB drivers and install them or use hisuite to install drivers for your phone.
After driver installation, do the same process again.
My bad. I assumed you would have drivers already installed

Hisuite is the best option. Even if that does not work (there is a chance of that), Google Kouch's universal drivers and install those.
May have to manually install dribers if nothing works.

I installed Hisuite and connected my phone. Windows have downloaded drivers automatically. And still the same...
But I forgot to tell you that when I connecting my switched off phone, my pc says "USB Device Not Recognized" (or something like that, I dont have english version of windows). Everything is ok when my phone is switched on...
This phone is cursed. I try to give up and stay on my current ROM, so I installed Nova Launcher, but setting it as default doesn't work :/
Thanks for trying to help me anyway.

I was awake just for your post. I think I got the problem. You need fastboot drivers imo but I would have to read a bit before I can suggest how to go about it.
Am busy tomorrow but will try to get back to you in the evening (GMT+5 time zone).
Can never be 100% sure but still I am confident, your problem has a solution. Just bear with me a day or two

Boot into recovery mode, no matter on which recovery are you on, and execute this command:
Code:
adb devices
And see the output, if it says something like:
Code:
**some_number** recovery
then it means there is no problem in the detection of your device by PC, if it does not, then check if the micro USB socket in the device is in good condition.
And I must ask: Are you able to do any operations on device via PC after connecting it?

Nexus 6 wont detect MTP USB but charges fine

Anyone with the same issue ? I am stuck at the bootloader since I wiped out my system image I can get to the recovery but I don't have a way to transfer new ROM since phone wont detect USB (MTP).
I didn't have any image backed to restore to. Tried OTG cable/USB nothing worked
What are my options ?

Hi... Is data mounted and MTP enabled in TWRP?
Is your phone detected while in bootloader?
Try: fastboot devices
If phone is recognized, download stock firmware of your choice and flash it...

So...
What operating system is installed on your computer?
Did you already install adb/fastboot drivers?
In device manager, while being in bootloader, is your phone detected when you plug your USB cable?
Did you try different cables, USB ports?

I tried different cables/PCs nothing worked. I think my phone USB port is defected but what confuses me more is that it can be charged just fine but no USB connectivity
It is still under warranty but not sure if it will be honored since I have the bootloader unlocked.

Nothing like said it is dead. I have another nexus 6 can connect easily to the PC I am pretty sure it is a phone issue.

Well, if you're 100℅ sure the USB port is damaged, there's nothing else than a repair that could bring your phone back to life... Good luck..!

Might be a driver problem.
Connect it your windows pc and check the Device Manager if it is detected as "Android" device. If so uninstall it and disconnect and reconnect it to the pc. Let windows install the MTP drivers.

Hard Bricked

I just received my new Oneplus 3T which is replacing a Oneplus 3 that I dropped. I was attempting to install LineageOS with root so that I could restore all of the things that I like from my 3 which was also running Lineage. The install went fine but when I went to restart it the phone turned off and will not turn back on. I followed all of the advice in the Hard Brick Guide but I cannot get the phone to display as Qualcomm 8009 or what ever. Before you ask yes I followed the extra instructions as well. I can start the recovery tool but it always hangs on the Sahara Communication Failed error no matter what I do. I never had an issue like this with my 3 and want to get this sorted.
Thanks in advance.

Can you get to TWRP and just do a restore of stock room?

Uninstall ALL android and cellphone drivers, then reinstall ONLY the Qualcomm drivers that came with the post.
I had the exact same issue, after removing the Android, adb, and oneplus drivers, and installing only the Qualcomm drivers it loaded the rom right onto the phone and booted up without a hitch.
