You need to find the drivers or another pc. RUU's run on Windows only! There is no such thing as a flashable ruu. Maybe borrow a friend's pc to run the ruu?

I need it too, it's so sad. I probably shouldn't start messing with a phone until the RUU is out first.

Yes, that is the problem that I am having. Need to reinstall and don't know how....
Found it!!!
there has been an RUU for sprint!
-Download Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.7_RUU.zip
-extract zip to a folder on your pc
-boot into bootloader (various ways)
-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader
-from pc, run setup.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock
Here's the download link...

[Q] Buy you a beer? Soft Brick - Help please!

Hey... I don't know why I didn't make a backup... stupidity... but I flashed a non-Sprint ROM to my Sprint HTC One phone with TWRP and now when the phone starts I am stuck on the HTC One logo.
I've tried various things to resolve the issue but none have worked. Fastboot sees the phone just fine but I cannot get ADB to see the device or do a sideload. I've tried installing the latest HTC drivers repeatedly but my Device Manager just says "One" for the detection of the device.
I am really frustrated and willing to buy someone a beer if they can help me sort this out. Any other steps I can take? Thank you.

Download a Sprint HTC One RUU and boot into fastboot mode. Run the RUU and wait a few minutes for it to do its thing. Note, it will wipe your phone clean. Another option, if you can boot into recovery mode, is to uninstall the HTC drivers and install universal ADB drivers from http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver (sideload doesn't work with official HTC drivers sometimes) and sideload a compatible ROM.

RUU probably failed due to you having an updated HBOOT and it trying to downgrade to a lower HBOOT version. Also, for an RUU to succeed, you have to lock your bootloader first.

I did, in fact, lock my boot loader according to the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460013
Butm yes, my HBOOT is probably newer.
Just for reference, this is the newest RUU I found for the Sprint HTC One http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910
It seems fairly recent, might be worth a try if you don't have that RUU, but it's best you try the Universal ADB driver first and try sideloading with that.
And your fastboot getvar all output?

Thank you for the suggestion of using the Universal ADB driver. I was able to sideload a ROM (ecliptic kitkat).
I am now booting into the ROM but stuck in a boot loop. Do you suggest a different ROM or is it some other issue?
Thanks!!!

Is it a Sprint ROM? The bootloops could be caused by bad kernel or might need a factory reset from within twrp.
Edit: unlock your bootloader so the kernel can be flashed!

Gamer765 - My HTC is back up again. After trying to sideload various ROMs I was able to load CM11, did a fact reset, and flashed the boot.img and it appears to be working.
Your suggestion to use the universal ADB driver saved the day. Can I buy you a beer? What is your PayPal address please?

Do you have a Win 7, Win 8, or Mac machine?
What is the error the file gives you?
Can you post a fastboot getvar all except for the imei and serialno?

[Q] (Q) can you help with 5.05.651.2 RUU flashable zip?

I flashed a gsm rom on my sprint m7, which put it into a bootloop....
I tried the firmware fix , but ended up with signature failures.
I haven't been able to get the RUU.exe to run on my windows 8 machine.
Wondering if anyone can supply me with 5.05.651.02RUU flashable zip?
I've searched, and see a bunch of flashable firmwares, but non for 5.05.651.02.
Or maybe a solution to my ruu.exe problem? I've tried the guides supplied in this forum, but still can't get passed the installation screen.
Thank you !
Can u open the ruu at least to the first menu

No, just install wizard "loading" . when its done it either freezes the computer , or does nothing.
I have tried to open it using "compatibility" which tells me to use win 7. But no luck.
Looking for a way to just push it too the phone. Seems easiest.

I can use 6.16.651.2 flashableRUU ?
The phone is unusable right now, bootloops. I thought I had to be s-off to flash anything but the firmware that's present. Am I wrong?
My end game was to use the phone on at&t. I thought I could flash a gsm ROM to accomplish that.
Can I still s-off and sim unlock lollipop? Or at least s-off and downgrade?
Thanks for the help
I tried downloads from here:
[RUU][Firmware]Sprint HTC One | 6.16.651.2 | *Updated 2.10.15*
And I also tried the RUU from the official HTC website.
And I also tried the ripped "firmware only" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503646
There is an ruu in that thread that has a fastboot flashable zip. You might want to read through how to run it on your device. You shouldn't ever flash a gsm Rom to a Sprint phone. The mount points are different.
Solution: get a new computer.
Not sure what was going on but I could not get the ruu to run on windows 8.1. Drivers, adb,fastboot all working on the computer. I couldn't find the problem.
Dug up an old windows XP machine I have , worked in an instant.
No knowledge gained.
The RUU exe take a lot of RAM to run. please make sure you have no other programs running when running the exe. If you device is stuck in a boot loop try power the device down and into recovery mode. Then connect to terminal when the RUU ask to connect to the device. My guess is the the RUU is corrupt and try re-downloading the file. If all else fails relock the boot loader and try returning to stock.
