In fastboot mode open a cmd window where your adb/fastboot folder is and type
fastboot erase cache
Then reboot

Do you have HTC drivers installed?
Which windows version are you using?
When you are in bootloader mode and you connect your device in the USB port, does it change to "fastboot usb"?

Do you have a custom recovery in the device?

You should push with adb a custom ROM.zip file and flash it.
Or mount a USB stick with an OTG cable and flash it from there. But you have to flash TWRP recovery with the OTG USB method.
To push a custom ROM.zip file while you're in recovery mode (also read here):
copy the ROM.zip to the same folder where your adb/fastboot files are.
open a cmd window from that folder
type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard"
when finished reboot to your recovery
wipe system, data and caches (DON'T wipe the sd card content)
flash your ROM
If you have problems with adb not recognizing your device try a PC with Windows 7 and USB 2 port, install HTC drivers from here and use the mini-sdk for your adb/fastboot folder.

Yes it is, he was trying to prevent you from losing anything on the sd card, since the updated ROM will relocate where the sdcard storage is found.
Although I don't think it is relevant since you most likely have a wiped phone.. Seeing as there is no OS installed.

1)Goto bootlader - > fastmode , and flash custom recovery again.
2) When receive custom recovery, flash rom.
3) Get S-OFF, and only when try to flash RUU, without S-OFF you can't downgrade from 2.19 to 1.28

When he will receive working recovery with sideload support, the adb sideload command will be work fine as there will be a support interface(protocol) from recovery.

Did you relock? What error did you get? Was it the right ruu.

What does your device manager on the laptop show? Try different usb port. stay away from usb 3.0 ports to be safe. sometimes i have to unplug and replug before the phone shows..Also reboot laptop if still dont see it.

Fastboot and ADB are two very different modes.
The phone can be detected in fastboot and not be detected in dab, either due to a driver issue or bad usb cable.

if I correctly understood his first post, he can't come in recovery at all.. reset to bootloader.

Phone is essentially bricked

Okay, I have the HTC One for Sprint. I flashed it using TWRP 2.5 and I can only currently access the bootloader.
I accidentally wiped everything off my phone and when I plug it in my computer sometimes recognizes it has HTCONE or as Android Device, either way I cannot send files over using adb sideload. Gives me the error that there is no device.
Currently my device somehow also got "unrooted" in the process. I am looking at the phone not being able to transfer any roms I want over to install a new OS nor can I restore it to the old OS.
Is there anything I can do?
PS: I did install the drivers and other devices. If someone can please help me even over teamviewer it would absolutely make my day. I have been troubleshooting this device for about 30 hours straight now.

Since you can access bootloader, you'll probably be ok..
What happens when you try to access recovery?
what happens in "fastboot usb" in your bootloader when you command
Code:
fastboot devices
If your device shows just do
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
Download one of these recoveries (since you have the Sprint version) <- this will get you into recovery if you're not already able to access it..

Well I have the recovery since thats the only one I can access. Thing is though neither of my computers can recognize the device and I cannot send the rom necessary to boot the OS.
I can access the Bootloader and I can access the Recovery. I cannot access the memory on the phone in order to send files over

important part is getting the phone working again then worry about unlocking bootloader

Can always try flashing a custom ROM using an OTG cable if you've wiped the OS. I always wipe my storage and OS when I do a clean install and then flash the ROM straight from my flash drive ... Obviously you'll need to fastboot a custom recovery, if you are able to.

When you're in recovery do adb devices. If it shows your phone you can sideload a ROM.
AT&T HTC One
GPe 4.3

hi bro, that happened to me as well, i have installed usb driver but adb cannot detect my device. I was running windows 8 that time but when i used windows 7 adb was able to detect my device with no issues and i was able to transfer custom rom zip file to it. I dont know if that could help you but i'm just sharing my experience.

I can access the bootloader and the recovery (switched to PhilZ touch) and sideloaded a couple roms but NONE of them work. One of the roms boots up and goes in a restart loop after hitting the front page (no icons on the screen just top bar) Even the stock version of htc one for sprint didn't work it kept resetting my device.
I tried using the RUU also but it gives me a bootloader error saying it cannot be restored after a few minutes of loading.

Well every rom so far attempted has been a dead end. CM, AOKP, all have booted and started a restart loop. I am not sure if its my kernal or anything else.
I just need some help. What I did notice is that even if the devices were working I had no cell signal. Someone please help lol

Just download the ROM, whatever your carrier based ROM is, from here, http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Then open ADB and follow the instructions here, Method 1 is recommended, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515.
If you have drivers installed on your PC, which I suppose you have, then as soon as you go into bootloader mode, your device will appear on ADB.

Are you sure I should reboot into bootloader? When I choose that in TWRP it says, "There's no OS, are you sure you want to reboot?"

Right, same results.
Philz cwm recovery could have saved you. It has OTG & USB mount. You could have mounted internal memory from recovery to your PC/Mac then DL a ROM to your now empty internal SD then unmount & flash ROM.

Ignore that. In any case you should always be able to enter bootloader mode. It doesn't require an OS, at least that's what I think.
You can just hold on to vol down and power for eight seconds from TWRP manually, that should enter bootloader mode anyway.

There's a flashable recovery zip HERE. Flash that in TWRP, then reboot to recovery. Then hopefully your PC will recognize it so you can copy a rom over. That's all I can think of ATM.

Phone stuck in bootloop

Hey everybody
My friend gave me his Mi 9t Pro to repair it as he bricked it accidentally and he knew I had experience with changing ROMs and recoveries.
From what I know, what he did is tried to change dpi and then phone jumped into bootloop.
Let me just state that:
- bootloader is locked
- there is no custom recovery
- I have no authorization for ADB
I am stuck and would be really thankful for any ideas. Wiping data is not an option at the moment as we want to recover data from the phone.
Dropping battery to 0% and then charging didn't work.
Adb is only possible at the very short moment phone gets into boot animation, but as I have no authorization I can't pull files from it.
For whatever I tried ADB sideload when connected with Mi Assistant in recovery didn't help me neither.
If you have any ideas please share them with me, I'll appreciate that a lot

I can't see any way you're going to keep the data. Recovering the phone is going to wipe everything. Without an unlocked bootloader I can't see any way your going to be able to access the data first before restoring the phone.
As far as restoring the phone, if you can access the official recovery, then you should, hopefully, be able to flash an official recovery ROM from there, or so I believe, I've never actually tried it.
If that fails, then you will need to EDL flash the phone.
This involves taking off the back to put the phone in EDL mode, then paying someone, who has an authorised account, to remotely flash the phone for you.

Yeah, that's kinda hard situation :/
I can't really flash recovery ROM, cause official recovery has no option for that and adb sideload didn't want to install 'update.zip'. just rebooted the phone and that's all.
I've seen that it's actually possible to put device into EDL without having to disassemble the phone, but fastboot command just reboots the phone.
Thanks for answering either way

Have you tried updating ROM through Mi PC Suite (latest version)?

I tried through MiFlash, but it only allows fastboot ROMs, and because bootloader is not unlocked I couldn't flash it. But that's a good idea, I'll try Mi PC Suite, I'll let you know how it ends.

I tried, but seeing that mipcsutie is same program as mi assistant, I cannot do anything because it doesn't recognize my phone.

Which version? I'm using https://c.mi.com/thread-1015363-1-0.html on Redmi 6 (locked bootloader & bootloop) and successfully restore. Make sure you've correct driver installed.

Because not possible if your bootloader was locked to enter EDL mode, then AFAIK you need Mi Account with authorization to flashing with EDL mode.

Are you talking phones in general, or this phone specifically. For this phone the only way is to take the back off and do the 'Test point' method. I've never heard of anyone successfully entering EDL mode using any other method.

ADB sideload needs the phone to be put into ADB sideload mode first, so to speak. This is why you have the ADB sideload option in TWRP. You don't have this option in the standard recovery.

Also make sure you're using a good USB cable and also try a different USB port.
Also try using your friends PC. I assume they have previously connected the phone to the PC successfully before, so they should have the correct drivers already installed.

If you connect via 'Mi Assistan' option in recovery the phone connects to pc using adb sideload.
I tried different cables and ports, and I have correct drivers.

As I mentioned before, I am not able to enable USB debugging, which is required for this program to work as far as I can see.

In this case your only option now is to EDL flash. Sorry. Search for guides on how to do this, within these forums. XDA admins have been removing contact details of anyone with an authorised account, who will remotely flash for you. These people charge for doing this, so it's against XDA policy to give details of people who perform paid for services. You will find recent posts from people who've got details of these people who can EDL flash, that will kindly allow you too PM them for details of such persons.

AFAIK, USB debugging not required just adb sideload to work.

Have you tried looking at the .bat files miflash executes from the fastboot images. You can flash system etc.. without dating perhaps this will reset the dpi
