I have a htc one m7 that my neighbor had me fix because he tried updating but failed, now all you could do on the phone is go on the bootloader.
I was going to reinstall the firmware but with the bootloader being locked and all i cant.
I have already tried several ways to unlock bootloader but not succesful since i cant go into the phone.
If you could help ill be grateful.

I am a noob and tried to sim unlock my HTC one from Sprint and really messed things up, I erased the OS and no longer have TWRP access.
Let me start from the beginning, I have an HTC One (M7) by Sprint. I wanted to sim unlock it so I could use it with another carrier. I successfully unlocked the boot loader through htcdev. I then successfully rooted the device. Then I was stuck on trying to unlock the sim. I think I was unsuccessful because I had upgraded to Android 4.3, but not sure.
To make a long story short I kept messing with it and accidentally erased my OS while trying to use rumrunner. I had access to TWRP, which I had installed earlier, but as of today I no longer have access to TWRP, it just does not load anymore. I can still load into the boot loader usb section of my phone that’s about it.
I also relocked the boot loader because I read somewhere in another forum that I was supposed to do so.
So as of now my HTC one is Bootloader locked, S-ON, HBOOT 1.55.
ADB won’t recognize my HTC at all, I have another HTC (Different model) and ADB recognizes it so I know I have the drivers installed correctly, but it wont read the HTC One.
I tried using fastboot to flash a new ROM, and TWRP recovery but no luck, it stops at bootloader (Signature verify fail). So I can’t even push anything to the phone.
Can anyone please help? If you need anymore info please let me know.

You have to unlock the bootloader again, flash twrp recovery then sideload a rom.
+1 on the unlock
and get the recovery specifically for SPRINT, it's different than the GSM HTC One, you'll also have to flash a "close to stock" ROM to be able to use the SIM unlock code. no need to be locked!
and remember to get a close-to-stock ROM for SPRINT!!!
So, I bought a second hand Sprint HTC One from Craigslist about a week ago.. First think I did was followed QBKing77's guide on how to unlock bootloader and root. Did that fairly easily, then went through this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 ) to unlock it, had to do the steps in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840 ) to get it to work since I had Android 4.3 and was unsure on how to go backwards to Android 4.2.2. After I got my phone unlocked, I went and got a Net10 SIM card and a month card, activated it, threw it in my One, and.. Nothing. No signal what so ever on GSM. It does recognize my SIM, though. So, I flashed to the original Radio from Sprint ( 1.00.20.0315 ), but still couldn't connect to GSM networks. I called Sprint, and they said my phone was still active on a plan, so I went hunting for a way around that.. I saw some things about flashing to Cricket, but I didn't want that. After relocking my bootloader and trying to RUU a few times, and none of them working, I thought I should update the Firmware. So, I downloaded some UL update for 3.62.401.1 without thinking, flashed it onto my device, and when I booted it up, it started a boot loop. I could navigate the phone for a while, but after about 5 minutes of it being turned on, it would reboot. So, I went into TWRP>wipe>advanced wipe> selected Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System. After that, my system now hangs on the HTC boot screen. I can still get into Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried flashing to TWRP 2.5.0.0, but my touch screen stopped working in TWRP when I did that. I just flashed back to 2.6.3.0, and my touch works again in TWRP. I can't get ADB Sideloader to work.. Currently, my Bootloader is Unlocked, S-Off, superCID, HBoot 1.55.0000, Radio 4A.21.3262.04, OpenDSP v32.120.274.0909, OS 1.29.651.10. That's about all the info I can get from Bootloader. It still says Tampered as well.
What should I do? My first step is to hopefully get back to where I can actually see the homescreen.. After that, I'd like to be able to get my phone to work on GSM.. I don't know if that is possible, though. I haven't found anything about someone having a phone that is still on a Sprint plan and being able to use GSM in the US.

I already have my phone unlocked. I have the same RUU downloaded from that thread as well, and tried it one more time, and I got Error 155, basically telling me I have the wrong RUU for my device..

Are you 100% sure you are s-off?
Try a different USB Port
USB 2 if possible.

I only have two ports on my laptop, and I've tried both. I even tried a usb hub, but that gave me the same error. In my bootloader, it says I'm s-off, I used rumrunner to do it a couple days ago.
Hello guys
So, here's the deal. Few months back, I messed up my One and got it stuck at the grey HTC Screen. Couldnt boot into system, because I guess there was no ROM on the device. Thanks to you guys here at XDA, I got the situation analyzed and took the device to an HTC Service Center who told me to get my motherboard replaced. That was way too costly, so I got it JTAGed. The device now boots into ROM, but it cant boot into the bootloader. So I cant unlock the bootloader, S-OFF, Root or anything.
I can only boot into ROM. Can anyone please explain why this is so and what can I do to get my bootloader and recovery back.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply..i was out of town..
I tried adb and manually pressing power+down..but to no avail.
I figured it out in the end though...i dont know what happened but the device suddenly went into the bootloader one day and now its working fine.
I have a question..
My device has been jtagged. Its now bootloader locked, unrooted, s on.
Is it dangerous for me to try to unlock and s off and flash a new rom?
Can a device be flashed after its been jtagged? Im sorry I dont have much experience with jtag.
Thanks!
Hi!
I have tried to writ in some forums here, but it's not possible since I'm new to this.
I have a One m7, bought in may. It´s now on Hboot 1.57 and S-on. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, wiped and installed the "Bigxie GPe" rom. I started to experiment a little at this point... I booted into the bootloader and flashed HTC recovery, then I relocked it and it all went like a charm. It was able to update from GPe 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 without any problems.
How is this possible when I can read everywhere that you have to be S-off and so on?
Hi, can you help me with unlock bootloader? How did you do it? I'm stuck with this. Can't see unlock screen. I have to same htc as you.

Hello Guys,
I just lost my phone and a friend of mine gave me one that he is not using anymore because he did not know how to unlock it so he bought a new one. Now I have that phone and it happens to be an HTC One M7 from Sprint, it is running Android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense 6.0, Software 6.23.651.10. I booted in recovery mode and it says it is Relocked, S-Off, Hboot is 1.61. Also, there is one option that says simlock and if I click on it then it says SD init fail (within the recovery mode menu).
The phone is rooted, I managed to do it via Kingo App and I just need to get it working in another GSM network, I have been looking for information about this but all I have found is info for when we were back in Android 4.2.3 and tried to go with it but it does not work.
If anyone can please help me find a solution so I can unlock this phone I would really appreciate it.
