Htc one (m7) can not boot anymore - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
as you already mentioned from the title, my old Phone isnt able to boot anymore.
It all started with that I did a factory reset in my phone settings. I had a custom rom installed (ViperOne...)
after that my phone was able to start and I selected all the settings that u get asked at the start of every new reset.
But my phone wasnt able to complete it all. After I finished it up the process always stoped working.
So I decided to get into the bootloader and clean up everything in there. Now im stuck at the HTC Logo.
Information about my Device: Bootloader is unlocked (now it says "Relocked");
Fastboot should be activated; S-ON;
fastboot getvar all

I dont have a backup file for my phone, but I put the latest ViperOne+ update on my phone (I can install it via recovery but it isnt working either)
If I type in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" in the ADB & Fastboot cmd it brings me up to another logo (working perfectly)
but when I wanna flash the firmware on it. It doesnt work at all.

It would be really great if you guys can help me. I wouldnt do this post If I havent tried so much
btw. sry for my bad english hehe

If you want to flash a custom rom you must unlock bootloader and flash twrp.
custom roms can be flashed only from twrp.
If you want to revert to stock, this is the right ruu for your m7: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579482012

okay thank you very much, this was more than helpful!
yes I want to install a custom rom. I was able to install twrp. But I dont know how to proceed now.
Should I install the custom rom with the cmd or just going into bootloader and select it on my phone to install ?
//edit: just went into the factory restore settings in the bootloader and twrp showed up - trying to install my custom rom now with it.
My phone is now showing up on my pc hehe
//edit²: Android is upgrading - guess its working
Thank you very much

remove your IMEI and serialno from your getvar all.
repost your getvar all correctly so we can see all the info: S-???? 5.16.???????
what firmware.zip are you using (link) and why? you don't need to flash firmware to get an OS on your phone...
fastboot flash zip Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.161.1.zip ---> this can not be flashed this way, must be flashed from a custom recovery, however it also looks like its not the right version. You getvar: 5.16.??? ---> and you are trying to flash a 2.24
You'll probably have to flash a custom rom

Remove the imei and serialno from your getvar all. Also, you have cutoff some important information on the getvar all, i.e., version bootloader, version main. Why don't you think you have an OS? What was the firmware version you were trying to install?
I think your are trying to install the older versions of your phone and that is why it is failing. You are S-ON so you can only install the same or higher versions of OS and firmware.

if you want pple to reply to your post, then quote them or they will not be notified of your post.
try adb push instead of adb sideload
Code:
adb push Guru_Reset_M7_5.11.401.10-TeHashX.zip /sdcard/
then when the file is transferred (wait 5-10 min) install from twrp

First, hard reboot pressing the power and volume down buttons until you see the bootloader and then scroll through the options to hit "REBOOT" not "REBOOT BOOTLOADER" you'll probably boot into your rom after a couple of minutes but thats not a fix, it's just a way to use your phone for now.
Having no OS means you probably tried to flash a custom firmware or downgrade your FW but you can only do that while S-OFF
OR you where using a different kind of recovery like multirom or an old clockworkmod recovery or something, give us a little bit more info on what you where doing before you "lost" your OS and what recovery, what ROM and what you where hoping to accomplish just so we can see what went wrong. It's best when you need to do something to read the guide your using from top to bottom twice, most guides go through multiple posts not just the first to point out areas you might run into problems and things to avoid. I recently had a similar problem trying to remove multirom and reverting to stock, I was flashing the 1.57 FW with TWRP but after flashing ARHD 71.1 it still gave me "no OS installed", I reverted to stock using the RUU.zip install method with all partitions and FW and ROM to complete stock.

Remove your IMEI and SERIALNO from your above "getvar all"
Afaik there is no 4.19.401.11 RUU.exe you are probably using an older version like the 4.19.401.9 ruu.exe. You can't flash older ruu version on a s-on phone.
You have 2 options
1- restore your phone using the 4.19.401.11 reset rom. This rom must be flashed using a custom recovery like you do for a custom rom. It will flash back the stock rom, recovery, radio and kernel. Your phone will be stock and will be able to update via ota.
2- You can restore the phone using the 7.19.401.22 ruu but you'll first need to update your firmware to 7.19.401.2
Firmware updating:
Make sure your bootloader is locked or re-locked if not:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
then flash the firmware:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
fastboot flash zip M7_UL_Firmware_7.19.401.2.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and finally flash the ruu --> using htc_fastboot.exe not the normal fastboot(important)
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastbot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.22_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_430964_signed.zip

adb will only work from a custom recovery or from a booted rom, not in the bootloader. Use twrp to flash a rom or flash a ruu using fastboot.

If fastboot commands are working but not adb, you have a driver problem. Make sure you have the latest version installed. ADB sideload can sometime be less reliable than using the old adb push method. If you have a recent TWRP version installed, you shouldn't even have to use adb push or adb sideload to transfer the rom to your phone since the recovery is now taking advantage of the MTP protocol (you should see your phone storage, like a usb drive, when the phone is booted in recovery).
Flashing a Lollipop RUU (version starting with 7.xx.xxx.x) requires the use of htc_fastboot.exe. The regular fastboot.exe from the android sdk tools can't handle the 7.xx.xxx.x RUU because of the file size. You can find the correct fastboot version in the ruu collection thread (linked in my signature) at post #1 under the "How to flash" spoiler or search for "htc_fastboot.exe" on androidfilehost.com

Yes I think the same, it is driver problem. But in my opinion it is problem with the phone drivers.
I tired to connect my m7 to 4 diffrent pc with cables which works good with diffrent phones.
I changed usb port to the new too but still the same, any pc doesnt see my htc.

Unable to flash stock rom

Dear experts,
I'm recently experiencing a problem with my phone in which it keeps prompting "com.google.process.gapps has stopped". I've followed a few different tutorials online, to reset app preference, clean the data and cache for Google Play Store/Google Play Serivce/Google Service Framework etc, but nothing has worked. I've even done a factory reset but it is still popping up - at the very first screen of the setup wizard. In the process of diagnosing the above issue, I've unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev website, flashed the TWRP 3.2.1.0 recovery image, and obtained root.
Without much luck up to this point, I've an impression that my rom might have been corrupted somehow, and decided to flash the stock rom again. Based on "fastboot getvar all", I've downloaded the rom PN07IMG_M7_UL_K443_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_6.13.708.1_Radio_4T.28.3218.04_10.33E.1718.01L_release_386270_signed from GSM Firmware website.

There is one very weird thing - my version-main is somehow blank... But under About > Software Information > More > Build number, I can see mine is "6.13.708.1 CL368747 release-keys", which I guess the rom I downloaded should be correct? (The baseband version is matching too.) So I've proceeded to flash the rom after I relocked the bootloader and flashed the stock recovery, but I'm getting error messages as follows:

At first I thought might be the rom is corrupted, so I redownloaded it from another source, but it is still giving me the exact same error. I start to think could it be something to do with my missing version-main, thus the signature check is failing. Up to this point I'm kinda stuck and don't really know how should I proceed further.
Could you please shed some lights on the issue I'm experiencing? Thanks in advance for your help!
You need htc_fastboot.exe and flash it from RUU mode not from fastboot(fastboot oem rebootRUU).

Thanks a lot for your advices. Before I run "fastboot flash zip rom.zip", I've already entered RUU mode with "fastboot oem rebootRUU".
With regards to htc_fastboot.exe, are you referring to the one that is given by HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader? If so, I experienced below error when I tried to flash the rom:
load_file: could not allocate 1999574957 bytes
error: cannot load 'rom.zip'
So I ended up using the original fastboot in the Android SDK Platform-Tools which resulted in the "12 signature verify fail" error...

The problem is that you're trying to flash a lollipop ruu (7.xx.xxx.x version) using the regular fastboot.exe. You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash lollipop ruu on the M7 (and for everything on newer htc's devices)
You can download it from here or it can be extracted from a ruu.exe (but not from a ruu.zip). Save htc_fastboot.exe in the same folder where you already have your regular fastboot and adb (htc_fastboot.exe needs the same dll to work). When you need htc_fastboot, simply start your command with "htc_fastboot" instead of "fastboot"
i.e
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip some_ruu.zip
fastboot reboot
Note that you don't have to do the "flash zip" command twice now that your are using this fastboot version.

oh and your cid was fine when it was 11111111, you should write this one back.
