Boot into fastboot mode and install the latest version of TWRP, which is 2.8.7.0. You can download it from the TWRP official website.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-file-name.img
Boot into recovery and connect your phone to the PC.
Download any ROM from the forum, transfer it to the phone and flash it. Don`t since we don`t know anything about your previous ROM wipe cache, dalvik, data and system before flashing your chosen ROM.
Since you`re S-On, extract the boot.img file from the ROM zip and flash it manually in fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot phone and enjoy.

No need to extract anything. S-on doesn't matter for kernel flashing on this phone. So, flash ROM.zip and enjoy

"any ROM" from the forum won't work on his phone. For example, his actual firmware is way to old to run roms based on Sense + Lollipop. With this firmware version (2.24.401.8), he is limited to JellyBean or Kitkat Roms.

Won't hurt but not needed on the M7 (unlike some other HTC phones). The kernel partition isn't secured and is flashed with the rom from twrp.
@zuppiger
If you want the phone back to stock and be able to intall ota updates (or if you want to install a custom lollipop + sense rom), flash this rom using twrp recovery. Select "yes" for stock recovery and stock radio, select "no" to root. then reboot the phone to the OS, install all the ota updates (a lot) until your version is 7.19.401.30. Then you can use the phone like this or you'll be ready to flash a lollipop custom rom. Otherwise you can go like suggested above but with older (JB or KitKat) Sense rom or any CM/AOSP roms.
Thanks guys.
but i think i might need some more help.
i downloaded the sdk manager to install TWRP, but when i try to write "adb reboot bootloader" it says "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" (not entirly sure if this is the correct translation, in german it says the command is either wrong or could not be found)
i think it could be because of some driver issues.
any advice??

Download the android sdk tools:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
Make sure you have the latest htc drivers installed:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/2lyl151pt5pah2v
Make sure you don't have HTC Sync installed on your computer, if yes, uninstall it since it will interfere with fastboot/adb commands
To use adb or fastboot commands, open a command window from the same folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are located on your computer (C::\Programs\Android SDK Tools\platform-tools). To start a command window from this folder, hold your left "shift" key and right click a blank space in that folder, then in the contextual menu, select "open a command window here".
Don't forget that adb commands can only works when the phone is booted in the OS with "USB debugging" turned on from the developer option menu or from a custom recovery. Fastboot commands only works from the bootloader (in the fastboot menu).

Well without any connectivity to the phone there is nothing we can do unfortunately. Might worth to try on another computer. Otherwise if you are 100% sure that the problem isn't the usb cable, the drivers or the computer then the phone usb port might be broken. This can be replaced (probably the "easiest" part to replace on that phone), you'll need to open the cover and replace that small usb/front mic board.
But the fact that your phone says FASTBOOT USB when in bootloader makes me believe its more a driver/computer problem since it would only says FASTBOOT if there were no connection detected...
thanks a lot for your help. I don't think I will get it working again anytime soon.
But i will look for a way

If you can still access CWM recovery then you're far from disaster. There's a lot more you could do. Try flashing a Sense 5 rom. If nothing works you could always restore to defaults with an RUU. In fact, if you want to convert your phone to GPe then you could use the tutorial for that on here somewhere.

How can i flash a sense rom without having access to the internal Sd of the phone? only think i can access is the locked bootloader and CWMR.

Ok. Let me be more clear. I'm stuck in a bootloop on an HTC one Dev Editon running GPE with S-ON. I have no backup and I can't access the phone's internal memory to put another rom.zip in there and try to flash it. Whenever i plug it in my PC it never recognizes it. plus i've been having a bunch of problems installing the HTC drivers on at Win Vista 32bit. I really dont know what to do. I can access the bootloader and CMWR but thats it.
Please help me!
Shouldn't be playing with the phone if you can't even do a fastboot getvar all output.. tsk!

You need to use one of the following:
1. adb push
2. adb sideload
3. OTG cable
Ok I'm guessing the OTG route is the easiest? What do I need to do once I get an OTG cable?

actually adb sideload is probably the easiest, from a command window
adb devices
(verify you phone are detect)
adb sideload name_of_the_rom_file.zip
(Wait the file is transfered to phone and recovery flash)
you should have a adb/fastboot folder from when you unlocked the bootloader. put the rom you want to sideload in the same folder as adb

This is a tuto I made when my HTC GPe after OTA when it turned on it got stuck at Blue screen, the only difference was that I was S-OFF (don't know if in this case it changes something) Hope it helps
*Grab a Windows 7 computer NOT Windows 8 or 8.1
*Original stock recovery.img
*Stock ROM
*Android/HTC Drivers and ADB soft
Connect your HTC in fastboot usb.
Flash image by:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
type fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip filename.zip
An error will appear, and you will have to type again fastboot flash zip filename.zip
Once it finishes if it stays at HTC logo type fastboot reboot

yeah I suppose so ..
adb and fastboot are programs that work with htc phones ..you run them from a command prompt (dos box).
their are a bunch of commands that do different stuff
I post the things you need to do above
here is the files needed to make fastboot/adb work
extract them to c:\fastboot - create the folder if you need to
you also have to ensure you have HTC drivers installed
their here >> http://www.mediafire.com/download/j55vk6qbbr6250c/HTCDriver_4.8.0.002.exe
to test open fastboot folder / shift/right click in the folder and choose
command prompt here
in the window that opens type adb devices and you should get a serial number ... do this when you phone is siting in recovery and plugged in to the pc

You can also download HTC sync manager. It will install drivers for you + the crappy htc sync soft. When the install finish, uninstall htc sync, the drivers will still be there.
when your drivers are correctly installed you should see those 2 lines in windows device manager

Your recovery is outdated, you need at least TWRP 2.6.3.3 to flash 4.4 rom like arhd 53. You could flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and above then flash arhd 53 again or maybe restore using a ruu if one is available for your phone (you'll need to post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' to determine)

make sure the recovery.img file is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are located
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 anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so i did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt 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

My phone is stuck on a loop after I tried fixing it. I tried installing Viper 6.2 on my m7 and it didn't work with an error of 7 or something and since I was coming from a different Rom I chose to wipe the data and start over. So now I have no Rom on my phone, no problem. I rebooted and tried to get into recovery again but then something weird happened where it would show the CW recovery logo and than skip to the Google logo like it was trying to boot up (no letters at top of screen). I tried installing a different recovery image but same thing it would show Teamwin logo and than cycle to the Google logo without letters at the top like it was trying to boot up and will go in a loop until I turn it off or go into the white bootloader menu. Also tried a factory reset from the white menu which did nothing. Please Help!

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 anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software

ok when I do that it does nothing. The only menu I can get to on my phone is the bootloader one. If I choose recovery it'll get stuck in a loop and if I choose factory reset from the bootloader menu it'll get stuck in a loop. I think I need a way to factory reset the phone to any rom to get out of the loop. Right now I think the phone has a full recovery image on it but not a rom and that is somehow messing it up?

If in setting USB Debugging is not enabled and there is an OS ADB will not work. It will work in Recovery.
If you have the stock firmware, you could flash it (if you are s-on, then you will need to relock your bootloader)
Then you would need to unlock your bootloader and flash a new recovery
ADB Push or sideload you rom while in recovery
Or
Flash a new recovery
ADB push or sideload your rom while in recovery

I've tried flashing a new recovery even changing the versions and types of recovery images. It still loops
Link to video of loop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efoXC-w45TA&list=UUXhWO2R4Ll4NrhM7M91T2sw
Fixed the issue by installing a RUU zip and then installing a custom rom.

It looks like your have an OS 3.09.401.1. I found a stock, non-rooted odex version.zip. This may wipe all of your personal data off of the phone. If fastboot is working, you should be able to flash it in FASTBOOT USB.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_rom.zip
fastboot flash zip name_of_rom.zip
fastboot reboot
You have to run the flash command twice, the first time prepares the firmware/rom to accept the changes.
Hi guys,
I had some bugs on my rom and wanted to reset the phone with factory reset. I'm using TWRP 2.3.6 and tried to factory reset on recovery but I accidentally wiped my system data, too. I noticed that when my phone reboot and the HTC logo didn't skip. I can enter fastboot and recovery but I wiped all data and I have no backup on phone now. I have backup on my pc but I cant access the phone storage, its looks like an unavailable disc and no access but htc sync manager and Usb recognize my phone as an android phone. I have android sdk and htc sync manager but my phone storage is unavaliable.
So how can I see the phone storage on my pc and copy my backup files in storage?
Or should I flash a rom with cmd commands? ( and how? )
Thanks for all help, I am waiting for the solve :crying:

use adb to push your backup or a rom back to your phone
btw not sure if it was a typo but use twrp 2.6.3.3 not 2.3.6
boot in recovery mode (twrp)
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
The command prompt will be unresponsive for a few minutes
then in recovery, select install, select your rom and swipe to flash.
if you want to use your backup:
Code:
adb push your_backup_folder /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER/DATE_OF_BACKUP/YOUR_BACKUP_FOLDER
the command prompt will be unresponsive for a few minutes.
then in twrp select restore and choose your backup, swipe to restore,
uh it was my mistake, its 2.6.3.3
but i dont know what actually adb is and how to use it :/ do i just need to enter the command prompt and type the code you gave ?
sorry,I need a description how to push my back up on my storage

I asked you 2 questions, you answered 1. Can't help if you don't answer. Additionally, I need to know what was done to the phone before (wha tled to this situation), What twrp version you are using and what rom you are trying to flash.
Edit:
Oh I see, you are posting in 3 different threads...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/tried-everything-site-restore-htc-one-m7-t3254343
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/please-help-t3257635
How are we supposed to help you if you crate new threads every time you have additional info to post? Much easier for both you and us if you keep posting in the same thread.
So now that you have provided your "fastboot getvar all" in one of these thread, please keep posting there only.
So I recently rooted my HTC One m7 (unlocked US gsm version) and everything seemed alright.
Somewhere between installing a new rom (ARHD 84.0) and restarting my phone, I managed to wipe my phone (everything is gone, no os).
I managed to get myself back into recovery mode but since my computer no longer recognises it, I have no way to put an OS back on.
I have tried:
adb sideload
adb push (although I might not be doing in right)
RUU
For clarification,
my bootloader is unlocked and I can access it from cmd
Upon restart, the phone just stays on the HTC logo screen
TWRP can be accessed, but the phone has no OS or rom to install
does anyone know what I can do to get my phone to a working state? (restore it, put a new rom, I don't really care)
Thank you very much

If you are in Android/OS then USB debugging needs to be enabled in Settings before ADB will recognize your phone. If you are in an updated Custom Recovery then ADB should recognize your phone.

When in bootloader / fastboot usb mode your phone should be listed in windows device manager as a "Android USB Device --> My HTC" not "Android ADB interface"
Its either because you are trying to do fastboot commands when not booted in bootloader mode or because your drivers are not installed correctly.
install latest htc drivers, reboot in bootloader mode and try again
