^ Wcx recovery is in version 2.2 as stated. And that is the version I recommend to everyone

Although TWRP 2.6.3.0 seems to be working great for me, might be something to test

Also I tried that And it says "waiting for device"
What do I DO

1. Is your device in fastboot
2. Did you run the application in administrator mode

Make sure in developer settings you have 'USB debugging' checked

[Q] Elegancia 2.5 issues.

In a quest for a customizable ROM that was built upon ICS, I came across Elegancia's Pegasus, and I thought I would give it a try. To my horror, the ROM was incredibly UGLY (no offense) and I decided to reboot into recovery. As I did, the recovery page launched for about a split second before hitting the white HTC Screen of Death. So, I rebooted it, and now I'm stuck in an Elegancia bootloop that won't end.
And so my predicament: I can't recover, nor can I boot. What to do from here? Through the piece of garbage away?
nvm this

You can still boot into bootloader right?
You need to relock bootloader and run an RUU.
To do so boot into bootloader (volume down + power button), then choose fastboot and connect it with the cable to your computer.
On your computer run the fastboot.exe and type the command "fastboot oem lock" without the quotations.
Then find an RUU here:
Holiday RUU's
and choose one of your carrier.
Run the .exe and when its finished you have the stock rom again.
If you want to get a custom rom do all the steps for flashing roms again and unlock bootloader again.
I think this is how it works.
Edit: you will lose your data..

No need to do all that... Fastboot erase cache will fix the issue. Then re-flash your recovery and you are set.
^^
with what problem do you have to use the ruu again? i thought that was needed for bootloop :s lol

And the erase cache fix is newer than that post as well

There's the problem. CWM and rom manager don't play well with this device. Go to bootloader, open a command line and write fastboot erase cache. Then flash another recovery like wcx or twrp and all should be fine.
You also need to open said zip and get the boot.img out... and either use flashimg GUI or fastboot to install said boot img

Also... grab the new nightly... it has a framework change...
Yeah, now it's fixed! Thanks guys. Now i use borked rom, uhmp maybe you guys have a recommended ROM for my phone? Hehe

They are actively trying to fix it although up to now they haven't been able to pin point the cause.

Yea I would have to agree wcx recovery is the best out right now. As far as the low in call volume, it seems all roms excluding wildchilds rom has the same issue. There has to be a way to pin point the issue as it will make Alot of ppl happy!

How do I flash completely back to stock?

Although I enjoy most of what the HTC First has to offer, I think I would like to return it. So, I was wondering if anyone could instruct me on how to flash back to stock and if there was a way, remove the "Tampered" message in the bootloader?

I believe the All-In-One Toolkit in the Dev section has an option to relock the booloader.

No. I've tried Moonshine S-Off 4 times and I can't get it to work. I followed the directions so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is there any way you could help me understand why Moonshine isn't working for me? I'm on 1.08, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and I have CWM (not sure if the custom recovery matters). I plug it in with the OEM Cable and USB Debugging on as instructed. However, when I run Moonshine, it goes as far as Test 3 and then it starts running through several rows of dots.
Edit: Scratch that. I figured out that all I needed to do was turn off my Firewall. So, now that I have S-Off, how do I go about flashing it back to the Stock ROM/Recovery?

As a followup to this, does anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? It looks like the OTA updates don't work with CWM.

Since you have s-off I don't know why you want a stock ROM/recovery. Either the v1.08 or v1.04 zips will install with CWM (not TRWP last I tried). http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Myst

about kernel
Hey guys im new to the forum, i got this phone from ebay, its just what i need, btw i like dev so maybe thats why i picked a htc, well the thing is i installed jmz's kernel amazing stuff but i wanted to go back to stock kernel to try differents roms, im s-off with ub and using cwm, i tried to compile the kernel source (i use ubuntu 13.04) with no luck at all, it looks like its about the toolchains, but well is there a kernel that i can just install it with cwm as a zip?
pd: sorry bout my english im from Chile :highfive:

Choose "All Other Supported Models". You need an account to begin.
I have success. So far, I'm loving this phone.

[Q] Flashed ViperROM, Touchscreen not working

So i just flashed ViperROM for my Sprint HTC One and it seemed to install fine but when it boots up the touchscreen doesnt work so i cant even unlock my phone. Touchscreen works in TWRP so it must be a problem with the rom. Bad download maybe? Restoring a backup until i can find an answer.
I don't think it works with the new firmware that was released recently ..viperRom is from the 1.29 release
