My phone is not rooted and is on kit kat. The phone is stuck on the splash screen. I tried to do a reset from the bootloader screen but it doesnt work. It goes to a screen with the green arrow circle and then back to being stuck on the splash screen. I tried it many times but nothing happens.
Is there anyway to plug it in to a pc and do something that way? Like odin?
Any ideas?????

yeah sounds like you need to clear the cache did you try that from the bootloader?
it's in the recovery screen, first boot to the bootloader
then hit power - vol down to recovery - hit power
recovery starts - hit power + vol up
then vol down to clear cache
if that does't work you'll need fastboot to erase the cache
fastboot erase cache
Try holding POWER + VOLDOWN (phone under a bright light,) after about 5 seconds, buttons should start blinking, and after 20 to 30 seconds, phone should reboot.
you may need to try 2 or 3 times, to get it to work.

when im in bootloader and hit power - vol down I get to the fastboot screen. The options are bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader and power down. I see a recovery option in bootloader but when I select that it eventually goes to the loop splash screen.
For fastboot cache erase, I don't see this option either. Am I doing something wrong? Im pretty familiar with this stuff I rooted a few phones in the past.

All those steps worked fine. Fastboot format went ok said it finished in half a sec. But after fastboot reboot, the phone reboots to the splash screen and hangs. I went into bootloader tried to reset. Screen went to the green arrow circle and then to splash green and nothing.
Post your fastboot getvar all and we can find you a RUU

you need the t-mobile RUU ..we don't have
we only have the 4.3 RUU and an OTA update
you'll need s-off to flash the old RUU
Please treat me as a total noob, my problem is this i installed the stock RUU Vodafone rom on my HTC One and everything went fine until i had a couple of phone updates ota first 2 installed and phone rebooted no problem on the 3rd system update the phone rebooted but this time on a boot loop where it would get as far as the HTC splash screen the continually reboot itself.
I have gone into recovery – hold power and Vol Down to go into recovery but when i do press the power button to go into recovery it just goes back to the boot loop i did have Clockworkmod installed on the phone but this seems to have stopped working.
I have tried to use fastboot and ADB but because my phone is looping it will not say on long enough to connect to the PC and run a command to wipe the cache.
My question mainly is there anything i can do to save my phone or should i just bin it.
Thanks

You MUST use stock recovery for ota updates. Flash your stock recovery back, fastboot erase cache and try to update again.

If you flashed clockworkmod recovery after the ruu, then you don't have stock recovery.
reboot the phone in bootloader mode, you should be able to do fastboot commands from there.
If you go in windows devices manager, is your phone listed?
and never use the 1.20.401.1 ruu, its a pre-release version. always use the 1.28.401 or the newer 4.19.401.9 ruu

follow this guide:
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
2) Q: I'm using Windows 7 what should I worry about
A: when you issue the command "fastboot boot CWM.img" (now only in CWM/TWRP restore method) there's a high chance drivers won't correctly install

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
now it looks better
and can confirm:

ok so you said in post #1 you have flashed vodafone ruu but afaik, there is no ruu for that phone. And the ruu you are referring to in post #3 is not for vodafone but for international (unbranded) phone and will not work on your phone with S-ON.
try to ''fastboot erase cache'' and reboot the phone. If its still bootloop, the easiest solution is to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery and flash a custom rom i.e arhd 53.

Hello there
As a result of a warranty replacement I got a new HTC One and the first task was to replace the bloated stock HTC ROM with Cyanogenmod - not a huge task.
So I unlocked my device via htcdev.com, flashed the binary and got a tampered + unlocked phone + S-ON. HBOOT has the 1.56 version.
Now I tried to flash the HTC One CWM version 6.0.4.8. Now the problems start:
The first boot is ok and Android fires up
As soon you boot the device a second time, the device hangs up in an infinite boot loop. You see the HTC logo, after this a black screen and the device will restart
It is not possible to enter the recovery mode. You see the recovery HTC screen, but the device restarts and will end in the normal infinite boot loop
So I tried a few things:
Replaced CWM with the CWM HTC Non-US GSM version (Downgrade from 6.0.4.8 to 6.0.4.3). First boot is ok, after this the same problem
As soon you clear the cache via fastboot, everything works again - as long you don't enter the recovery mode. If you enter the recovery mode, the device hangs in a boot loop
If you relock the phone via fastboot, everything works again. But this is not an option, because I need CWM to install Cyanogenmode
So I switched to TWRP - same problem: Recovery mode is not usable and boot loops
So I am not quite sure what to do now. I read that some people switched over to RUU's because their phone image was corrupted but I am not sure if this is the right way. I live in Switzerland and have a device from Swisscom.
So any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Simon

So I think I've pretty much bricked my phone here. Where do I start?
I can only go into Bootloader. I have S-On and its relocked.
I can't S-off because I'm stuck in boot loader ....
I can't Unlock because I'm stuck in boot loader....
I can't even flash an RUU because its S-ON
The ONLY thing I can do is fastboot commands....Is there any way I can fastboot command to s-off? Any solutions? I was trying to make this stock to give the phone to my mom but I think I'm screwed

Here is a RUU 4.11.401.11.zip that you can flash in fastboot. If you have an issue running the RUU then flash this firmware 4.11.401.11 first. These are the commands to flash both the RUU & firmware after booting into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Should see silver HTC logo
Code:
fastboot flash zip <name of file.zip>
The first time you issue this command merely sets up phone to receive the RUU or firmware, it will fail you have to issue the exact command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip <name of file.zip>
The green status bar may not go all the way to 100%, if it is complete in the cmd window wait a few seconds then proceed.
Code:
fastboot reboot

They may not run since you are S-ON and I don't know if they are signed. I am trying to find a RUU.exe for you. Failing that, do you have a linux machine or MAC? If not, you can run linux off a USB FAQ Q5. Linux doesn't do all of the check that Win performs.
@majmoz
I have a Mac which would be much easier and I don't have Linux.... but I can create a USB Linux based on what I see from that link...
Which one should I use?

Since the firmware worked did you try to reboot the phone?
I'm not clear on what caused your issue? What rom was the phone on before you decided to go back to stock? Did you perform the unlock procedure the first time? If so, do you still have the Unlock_code.bin? If not, according to the procedure you need mostly fastboot to unlock your phone.
@majmoz
Yes I did reboot the phone using the command when I used the first firmware.
I was on Cyanogenmod 11 before. I did perform the unlock procedure the first time and YES I do still have the unlock_code.bin
Right now its on Relocked...
Is there any way I can use this unlock_code.bin to Unlock it? I tried on my mac and it said <error: cannot load 'token'> when I tried to <./fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin>
Sorry for giving you so much trouble...
@majmoz
So maybe I could be doing this wrong or perhaps the RUU file is the wrong one?
Because I'm able to flash the firmware fine and when I enter the reboot command....it reboots but doesn't go into boot loader, its just a black screen. Then I hold down the power and volume down and it goes into boot loader mode....And I repeat the process for the RUU you gave me and it says the same 12 signature verify fail.
What exactly is supposed to show when I flash the initial firmware? because my phone seems to turn off....and I have to hold down power and volume down for 15 seconds (the home and back button flashes a few times, then it goes into boot loader)

You might have to go through the procedure again since you changed your firmware.
So, I guess the phone is working but you want to go back to stock? If you can get it unlocked again, then you could install TWRP and flash this Guru Reset 5.11.401.10. This will get you back to stock, at the end it will ask if you want to root or not choose do not root and it will install the stock recovery. Then you could relock the bootloader and you are done!
@majmoz
OH MY GOD! I Unlocked it!! It worked holy hell you're amazing!
Now I've downloaded TWRP...How do I install this?

When you run the firmware and you use the fastboot reboot command the phone should reboot into the OS. If you use the fastboot reboot-bootloader command the phone should reboot into the bootloader.
Did the black screen have a red triangle in it?
Cyanogenmod 11 does a job on the phone and unfortunately it sometimes takes a RUU to correct it.

Here is the entire procedure you have already got most of it complete.
Originally posted by @alrayHTC ONE M7_U/M7_UL - ADB PUSH & FLASH A ROM - DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Prerequisites:
You need ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer,
either by installing the Android SDK or Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT
You need to know how to start a fastboot/adb command prompt:
To open a command window prompt, in Windows go to Start Menu --> ''Run'' then type cmd. Change the directory to the ADB folder on your machine:
If using the default install location for the SDK:
Code:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools
If using the default install location of Minimal ADB and FASTBOOT:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Or hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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
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
now it looks better
and can confirm:

Procedure:
Make sure the ROM you want to flash is in the same folder where ADB and FASTBOOT are.
(C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-<DATE>\sdk\platform-tools or C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Here is a list of the HTC M7 roms. Some other roms can be found here.
Connect your phone to computer using usb cable
(if not using the official HTC USB calble, make sure
you are using a USB data cable and not only a charging
cable. Data cables have 4 contacts: 5V, GND, DATA+, DATA-.
Charging cable only have 5V and GND contact and will not work)
Reboot phone in recovery mode (TWRP):
If phone is booted in OS:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
if not booted or bootlooping, hold power button + volume down until phone boot in bootloader mode
then select BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY using volume up/down to navigate and power button to select.
Make sure your phone is booted in TWRP main menu:
transfer the rom to your /sdcard folder:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Wait for the zip file to transfer, this can take several minutes (5-15) and there is no progress bar, the command prompt will be unresponsive for that duration. When the command prompt is responsive again and display how much bytes transferred in X seconds, the transfer is completed:
In TWRP main menu, select ''INSTALL''
Browse the installation menu and select your rom zip file inside /sdcard folder:
Swipe to confirm you want to flash the rom
Reboot phone

Hi guys I'm sure you've seen this type of thread a million times.
Anyway I tried to root my phone everything was going fine had TWRP ask if I wanted to install SU said yes and then got stuck on the dreaded boot loop.
After probably pressing things I shouldn't of I appear now to have no OS on my phone.
I found a video that said I can download an RUU but I can't find a link that works for the one I need.
I also found a video that suggested using ADB but that doesn't detect my phone when I use ADB Device in a command prompt.
Any help would be appreciated It might need dumbing down for me
I can get into fastboot and recovery from my phone and I can't seem to get my phone by USB to allow access to folders.
Small update when I select ADB Sideload from TWRP it detects my device not sure if that helps.

Be more precise here please. Did you wiped data? system? factory reset? format data?
The guide I used I can't link too.
I managed to get a ROM on my phone through side loading it.
However the ROM I put on needed an update since then my phone won't allow options for fast boot, recovery etc.
I initially ran into issues with the guide when it came to the SU stuff.
The version provided was out of date so I got a more up to date version and this is when I ran into issues.
When I went to exit TWRP is noticed I didn't have SU installed so I clicked for it to install, when this didn't work I tried factory reset which didn't work so formatted from within the advance options which is when I think it deleted by OS.

Ok so you have formatted data. You'll need to push and flash a rom to your phone. Before I would appreciate if you could answer my questions, see below quote.

Your TWRP version is outdated hence why rooting using it resulted in a bootloop (SU binaries that comes with this version aren't compatible with android Lollipop).
Flashing the latest supersu.zip would have probably solved your issue but its too late now that you have formatted data and flashed the wrong rom (see below).
The rom you have flashed (Guru_Reset_M7_3.22.1540.1) is an old version of the developer edition M7 and not for your phone.
What you should do now imo, is to relock your bootloader, flash the 7.18.161.21 RUU so your phone will be running the right OS version, unlock the bootloader again, flash the latest TWRP and root the phone (re-locking the bootloader is required to flash the RUU).
relock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
flash the 7.18.161.21 ruu. You can find your ruu in this thread. The file you need is at post #2, instructions how to flash it (using htc_fastboot) at post #1:
Code:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Vodafone_UK_7.18.161.21_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_430367_signed.zip
htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader
unlock the bootloader again (refer to instructions at htcdev.com/bootloader):
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
submit your token to htcdev.com/bootloader so you get a new Unlock_code.bin by e-mail. Once received, flash the Unlock_code.bin:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Flash latest twrp recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
boot in recovery (twrp) then exit recovery and select "yes" when asked if you want to root the phone. Note that the first boot after flashing the RUU can take much more time than usual. Phone will sit at the white HTC screen for a while and then at "updating android" screen. Just wait it will boot eventually.
So I locked the phone as suggested.
I then ran fastboot oem rebootRUU and have a white HTC logo on my phone.
I assume from the instructions this is when I flash the Ruu file next ?
When I try to use the command line fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Vodafone_UK_7.18.161.21_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_430367_signed.zip

Cannot load = can't find file. Make sure the ruu is in the same folder where adb and fastboot are installed. And don't forget you need to use the fastboot version provided in the ruu collection thread, the normal fastboot will not work to flash the ruu.
I downloaded the fast-boot in the thread but when i go to run it, it flashes on my screen and just disappears as I understand that the one you mention is for HTC.
Can I just have it in the folder with the Ruu and then run a command prompt screen within windows?
Again thanks for your advice so far and your continued patience.

save the htc_fastboot.exe in the same folder you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe
htc_fastboot also need the dll included in that folder.
To open a command window, just hold your left shift and right click a blank space in the folder. Then in the contextual menu, select 'open a command windows here". When you need to use fastboot.exe, then start your commands with "fastboot" when you need to use htc_fastboot.exe, like for flashing the ruu, start your commands with "htc_fastboot".
You can also use the Tab key to auto-complete file name so you'll be sure not doing any typo:
e.g:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip pn07
then hit the Tab key and the command will auto-complete:
Code:
htc_fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Vodafone_UK_7.18.161.21_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_430367_signed.zip
If you have more than 1 file starting with "pn07" in your fastboot folder, just keep pressing tab until the right one is displayed.
This way you'll be 100% sure the file name is correct and you shouldn't have any more "cannot load" error.

Just waiting for the green bar to fill up I guess before moving on to the next step.

You don't need to flash twice, when it saying "flash zip complete" just reboot the phone using "htc_fastboot reboot" The green bar will not reach 100%

The last line the command prompt put up think it's because it was the last command I put in.
I've now rebooted updating apps again thanks I can't express my gratitude enough

Wouldn't update the apps yet since you must unlock the bootloader again to flash twrp and root. unlocking the bootloader will perform factory reset so you'll have to re-update all your apps again. You should proceed with the next steps (3-4-5) before setting up your phone.
