Hey, I have a somewhat major issue. I'd absolutely LOVE to be referred to any thread that exists to solve my issue. I just feel my problem is so bifurcated that no one resolution I've found quite fits the needs of my idiocy.
5 Days ago I got the HTC ONE with the Sense UI. Needless to say, I wasn't a fan of being stuck with the Blinkfeed, and lack of 4.2, so I went over to the lighter side of Android and put the Google Play Edition on my HTC ONE (AT&T).
This went well! I was running the GPE and had a blast, but I decided I wanted to return the phone and get the black one. Problem is...I needed it to look as it did out of the box, all unadulterated and such.
I attempt to restore it, accidentally delete OS, accidentally screw myself out TWRP, ontop of having NO nandroid backups.
My phone will either A. Boot to the HTC loader screen with the red disclaimer at the bottom, or B. Boot into the HBOOT screen by holding Power / Down Volume where it says ***TAMPERED*** / ***UNLOCKED***

May 3 2013, etc. <-- Lol what?
Anyways, I'm stumped as to how I go about fixing this and loading stock AT&T sense. I've tried to ADB push command ROMS on, but instead when I type ADB push I get a long list of commands, rather than any kind of success / lag of loading the ROM as other guides have pointed out.
When I FASTBOOT USB nothing pops up mounted. Upon going to USB mounted items, the Android device is recognized as a CD-ROM, not as a mass media device. When I launch recovery it goes into the screen where the phone is displayed with a green arrow circle. I've tried the ADB push command (with and without caps) and nothing occurs, both at the regular HTC boot logo and the short-lived recovery screen, only to display a red triangle with an ! mark in it's center (indicating no recovery loaded, I'm guessing).
HTC device manager doesn't recognize the device either, and suggests it's locked. This is highly frustrating and I'm sure the resolution is simple, but the problem is finding the right one(s) and subsequent steps needed.
I appreciate any and all help.

It didn't work initially, I had tried that video a couple of days ago. I did however get it to work.
I was running Windows 8, so first I needed to install drivers for Windows 8, by deleting the HTC from Device Manager and disabling driver verification. Doing this made the phone recognize in RUU.exe
The next step was an error code 155, suggesting my RUU was for the wrong model. Seeing as how the device was unlocked, I had to change directory to my android sdk and type "fastboot oem lock"
This fixed the error code 155, and the rest is history. Back on stock AT&T Sense 5.
Thank you for the link, had you not suggest it (and me attempt it a second time) I would have completely written off the method.

Hi Everyone,
I have a stock Flyer that is stuck rebooting. It never makes it past the HTC quietly brilliant white screen. It reboots every 2 minutes or so.
Here are the steps I have tried from other posts:
1. I tried going to recovery, but it just comes up with the red exclamation point after a few seconds.
2. I tried installing ADB, but it never finds the device. Granted I can't get the device to get past the spash screen, so I have only tried ADB from the white "bios" screen (I think that is called the bootloader screen)
3. I have plugged it into the wall and charged it up. It seems to charge just fine.
4. I tried plugging into my PC for 30 minutes as other posts suggested.
I have not tried a factory reset, and would prefer not to. I'm actually travelling for 2 more weeks, and can't even reload my media until I get home.
Does anyone have any more ideas?
Tell me what the white screen says. It should have your version information on it

Looks like there was a firmware update today. Don't know if that caused this or not. Thanks for the help.
Did you do anything prior to this happening or just poof?
Have you ever done the s off, CM custom recovery, root?
I would think you could flash your stock ruu or s off flash recovery then flash a custom gingerbread room like lee Android

someone else said that they had a similar issue and when they took their SD card out, then it was able to boot normally

still not booting
No, I have never tried anything custom with this at all.
I don't think I've ever even seen the bootloader screen until this problem occurred. No custom recovery or root. I'm afraid I don't know what "s off" means.
No luck with just removing the SD card. It still is stuck in a reboot cycle.
The last thing I remember doing is rebooting it (by holding down the power button). A couple apps had been a little sluggish that day, so I thought a reboot would help. I rebooted and put it in my bag. I don't think it ever recovered from the reboot.
Thanks again.
go to fastboot mode and enter:
fastboot rease cache
then try to boot.
If that still fails, put the flyer in fastboot mode and run the correct RUU for your device.
Hello,
I bought an HTC Rezound from someone on craigslist yesterday and I was dumb enough to trust him and not ask him to power it on. THe screen is messed up, but thats an issue for me to worry about, and also when I power it on it displays the white HTC screen and then goes black. I did some research and I guess it is because the phone is unlocked and confirmed that it is by holding down the volume button and the power button and on the screen that came up it says:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
I guess I need to lock it but all of the guides out there I guess require that I know a little about rooting, which I know nothing about. Can someone walk me step by step on how to do this because I have no clue.
Thanks

Unlocking the bootloader is a requirement to root the phone, it in no way would keep it from booting up. It sounds like you don't have a rom installed. Does it say s-on or s-off in the bootloader?
Don't worry about TAMPERED and UNLOCKED. That's normal. Tampered just means there's a custom recovery on the phone rather than the stock one.
Post everything else it says in bootloader in addition to s-off or s-on. Then we'll know what firmware you are on.
Your symptoms sound like it might be that you need to flash a kernel, but we don't know what ROM you are on so your best bet is probably to run an official RUU which will get you to stock everything. Then hopefully you'll be able to boot up and run the phone. Then if you want to put a custom ROM on you can easily do so.
To learn some more about all this read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641670
Here's an overview of the whole process I wrote up for someone. You're already unlocked so you don't need that part. Attached to that post is a folder with what you need to run fastboot commands so you can download that and put it in your root directory for when you need it.

You should be able to re-lock and flash the global leak RUU and at least have a device that boots. There are some guides in these forums with instructions on re-locking.
Will that install all of the stock stuff?

I downloaded the zip and renamed it. How do I move it onto the SDcard. When I plug in the phone and try to power it on, the white HTC screen shows up and then goes black but the computer does not recognize anything being plugged in. I head the noise that the computer makes once USB is plugged in, but I do not see anything under my computer that I can go into to add this file.

Short version: I bought an HTC One from someone who had installed the Google Play edition. Tried to use the instructions at androidcentral.com to upgrade to 4.4 (it won't let me post the link, but search for "How to manually update your Google Play edition HTC One to Android 4.4 KitKat" and it'll be the first Google result. Now I'm stuck at the Android System Recovery screen. Not sure what to do now -- I'm a total Android n00b. Yeah, I know, probably a bad idea for a newbie to try something like that -- hindsight is 20/20 as they say. I tried using the "wipe data/factory reset" option to no avail, as well as "wipe cache partition."
I'm having trouble finding instructions on what to do next -- there are lots of vague bits of advice that probably make total sense to Android power users, like "check that S-off is installed and then install the RUU." I'm not able to really understand any of that, so I am hoping that someone here can help.
So, any ste-by-step advice on what to do next? Pretend like you're explaining how to do this to a 4-year-old.
As additional info, I've done a bit of digging and installed adb tools, both the Mac version and I even tried the Windows version using Parallels. When my phone is plugged in and I run "adb devices" it isn't listed there. I am guessing that does not bode well. I am really hoping that I haven't bricked this phone.

hey im almost certain you haven't bricked the phone (just yet at least)
I believe that the 4.4 update you downloaded is not yet compatible for phones with s-on, which is why your phone maybe getting stuck.
to check if your phone is s-on or off, turn off your phone completely and turn it on by pressing the volume down + power button until a white screen pops up
Then on the first couple of lines it will say if its s-on or s-off..
So your problem is that you can't get past the recovery? if so, I would just advise you to re-install the 4.3 rom.
to do this you might need adb which you said you couldn't get to work.
Are you running the "adb devices" command from the platform-tools folder? Im using windows btw.
(does the black cmd window read something like this C:\skd\platform-tools> (btw thats just what mine looks like anybody's can be different) but the last line there should almost always end in \platform-tools>
I'm not exactly a pro but ill try to keep helping you once you check the things I've mentioned above.

Thanks for the response! And sorry for my belated response -- holidays and all (which were a bit interesting without a phone).
Yeah, the problem is that I can't get past recovery, and my computer won't seem to recognize the device.
When I do the power+vol-down thiing, the screen says S-OFF. The full output (minus things being in caps):

One of my problems is that I've been trying with a Mac, and I think that it just doesn't want to recognize the phone. However, since I'm home now, I have a PC at my disposal too.
Hello, I am mostly a beginner at android troubleshooting, having done little more than light research into recovery's, customs ROMs and such. I am attempting triage on my friends AT&T HTC One m8, which he says spontaneously shut down while he was looking at updates in the play store. It now boots only to the bootloader and while I can use the volume and power keys to select options, selecting any of the boot options, as well as recovery, simply causes it to reboot to the bootloader again. I have not attempted a factory reset yet, as my friend neglected to back up his data and would very much like to get it back, if at all possible. The phone is not rooted, and as far as I can tell, usb debugging is off. (My friend isn't really one to tinker with tech stuff) I installed the drivers for the phone on my windows 7 pc and it shows up in the device manager as "My HTC" but I have been unable to access the phone in any significant way. I did install Suqabbi's HTC One toolkit which was able to recognize that the phone was plugged in and could access the fastboot settings. I was able to trigger a reboot through the toolkit, but it only went to the bootloader again. I should also mention that it generally takes a few minutes (inconsistent) turn on the screen and go to the bootloader. This is what the bootloader screen reads:
Software status: Official
Locked
M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

OpenDSP-INVALID_VER_INFO
OS-4.28.502.1
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Mar 20 2015,03:01:11.0
I have searched the invalid_ver_info lines and it would seem that they indicate a problem, but from what I could tell it was not a very specific one. From my research so far, I'm assuming I won't be able to fully restore the phone to its previous condition, but does anyone know of a way I can potentially rescue the data? I have used data recovery programs to get data back from corrupted and reformatted hard drives before, but I'm guessing the data in a phone is harder to get to? I also have a Macbook running OS X Mavericks (I believe) and a machine with Ubuntu Linux on it as well, if either of those operating systems might offer a solution unavailable on windows. Thank you for your help, and hopefully my friend isn't out of luck. But if so, at least then I can try to get it functional again for him.
Hello all! I know this is an old issue and the phone that I have is as old as life it's self but I hope that I can find some help here! I know there are sever threads covering this issue but I have not found any that covers the ENITRE issue that I am having.
Okay, now for my problem....
Of course my phone died (battery). I put it on the charger and powered it up. The phone stuck on Sprint screen for several days. This is the second time this has happened. The first time I was unable to use recovery but I was able to do a factory reset. THIS TIME I am unable to do anything. On factory reset, the phone goes to green icon and then it turns into the red exclamation. Same thing with recovery. I have tried the wipe/factory reset...I get an error there "E:can't open /cache/recovery/command" and I get that on all options in Sys recovery menu. I have read several threads on using fastboot but I have learned that there is more to it that plugging in the USB and recovering the phone.
To help answer some of the questions here are the details on the HBoot menu:
****Locked****
Shooter XC Ship S-On RL
HBoot - 1.58.0000
Radio - 1.09.00.0108
OpenADSP - v02.6.0226.00.0217
eMMC-boot
The phone has never been rooted and everything is stock.
I have seen that it can be recovered through Hboot menu but I'm not deep into this side of things so I will need detailed instructions if possible. I have an HTC Evo 3d and my PC is Mac OSX.
Same problem
I was about to post about my problem, but yours is very similar and like any good forum go-er I checked to see if there were any recent problems like mine.
I am running
**locked** shooter s-on hboot v 1.58 eMMC -boot from may 17, 2012.
I have never rooted the device or tampered with it in any way. I thought about it, but got a newer phone.
I recently got into computer programming and wanted to see what can be done with this old tech with still relevant hardware.
after starting the device it got into the OS , took me to my homescreen like normal then failed horribly after 10 seconds, once i slid the ring up.
it then got stuck at HTC screen, so i tried the bootloader, which works, so i went for a factory recovery. get the red triangle, so i look into rooting.
turns out that if i hadnt checked usb debugging and unlocked already, i cant get in to do anything. is this a soft-brick hard-brick case?
i feel there is hope, but the lack of response to OP after this time leaves me disappointed. I've spent many hours trying to find a solution to this problem, but it is way beyond me.
i tried finding signed copies of PG86IMG.zip for hboot 1.58 to no avail, only option is RUU which won't find the phone on windows 10. drivers are out of date, perhaps.
Installing linux now to hopefully get access to that file system.
Would really appreciate the help, devs. this is a great device would be a shame that NOT tampering with it would leave me and OP with a brick.
thanks for reading and thanks in advance for consideration and advice.
dunno, maybe try this
