I attempted to install Viper One this afternoon and I am not sure what happened. First I lost my root for some reason and then I got into some endless loop and I am not able to get into TWRP to restore a backup. My phone is not even recognized in Windows 7 anymore either. When I get into the recovery screen it says TAMPERED and UNLOCKED. It also says S-on. I can get my phone to boot now as I did a factory reset but all of the Viper stuff still shows up. I want to get TWRP back on my device so I can restore an earlier backup but if my computer does not recognize my phone then what can I do? I have installed the HTC drivers but that does not seem to do anything. Help?

It's ok, your phone is SUPPOSED to say Tampered, Unlocked, and S-On (if you rooted and unlocked bootloader)
Use a RUU to unbrick your phone and reset it to factory settings.
1) Relock your bootloader.
2) Download the correct RUU version for your phone.
3) Hold down power and volume down to enter bootloader. From there, enter FASTBOOT. THEN, connect your phone to your PC.
4) Open the RUU, wait for it to open.
5) Follow the instructions.
Make sure you are at AT LEAST 50% battery. Preferably 80+.
I can't share any links (xda won't let me yet), but go on YouTube and search "Qbking77 how to unroot and unbrick HTC One"
Thanks for the steps you have provided. I will try that shortly. It looks like I am going to have to uninstall all of the htc drivers and re-install them to see if that gets my phone recognized by my pc.

Hey guys, I recently acquired an EVO 3D in a trade deal and even though I don't want it (I plan on selling it but the cash deal + EVO 3D was worthy), I ended up being hellbent on rooting it last night. Success. Great, I threw Cyanogenmod7 on there and realized I'll have to undo the root/ROM to sell it later. I used what I believe is referred to as the REVOLUTIONARY method (using HTCDev.com, some terminal commands on my Mac, etc.)
Anyhow, didn't think it would be hard to undo what I did and I guess I was wrong. Let me tell you what I've tried so far.
I've tried using the PG86IMG.zip flash and nothing. No option (VOL UP or VOL DOWN) to even TRY installing it. Just quickly flashes the green text "No Image!" under each category (it goes too fast for me to read it) and I'm back at the boot menu. I've tried using different copies of the PG86IMG.zip with the same results (latest site acquired from: Goo-inside me, or something like that).
I've also tried using the RUU*.exe method on a Windows 7 machine. I've installed the drivers, everything checks out just fine until it actually tried to update the ROM. What happens here is that the phone reboots (as expected) and though the splash screen is different (black background with silver/gray hTc logo, semi-reflected) from the usual splash screen (white background with hTc in green), nothing happens. The software on the Windows 7 machine says "Waiting for bootloader" - which never shows up. Then it quickly gives me an error stating that the USB cable between the PC and the phone needs to be checked. Of course, there's no disconnect anywhere in the cables.
Please help! I planned on selling this device but if it's stuck in Cyanogenmod7, especially with no Google apps (couldn't get Gapps*.zip to work but whatever, not really concerned about that right now), there's no way I could sell this thing. I'm fairly knowledgeable in the basics of these matters as I have a rooted EVO 4G as well.
Anyone wanna buy an EVO 3D? HAHA
you could always flash a stock rooted rom .
You've gotta relock through adb before running the RUU.exe; then it'll work.
Hit the thanks if I helped
Here's another problem: I can't get back into Clockwork Mod Recovery (so I don't know how to flash another ROM on there). If I hold VOL DOWN while powering up, it starts automatically loading PG86IMG.zip. Then I get the options FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET, SIM LOCK, and IMAGE CRC.
Trying to enter recovery reboots to the splash screen and it gets stuck there.
How would I lock it using ADB?

It's because of the pg86img.zip you can delete/move it away from the root of your sd card and get back into recovery... but you shouldn't need to, follow these steps:
1) Turn off phone
2) Hold power+vol down
3) Choose fastboot
4) Plug into your PC if you're not already
5) When you see FASTBOOT USB on the phone screen go back to your command prompt where you have your adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc.
6) Type: " fastboot oem lock "
7) Aaaand you're done w/ the relocking go crazy and run your RUU.exe, don't reboot the phone or anything just run your RUU while your phone's still in HBOOT.
Edit: Oh, the adb I was talking about would kind of make everything easier; in command prompt: adb reboot bootloader AND THEN fastboot oem lock
Two steps, mhm.
I'm on it! Standby...
Okay, the adb stuff - can I do that from terminal in Mac? I tried doing it while in the appropriate folder where all that adb stuff is and I typed: adb reboot bootloader (ERROR: command not found), then I tried just: reboot bootloader (not permitted). I did try: ./fastboot-mac oem lock (successful. header now says *** RELOCKED ***).
Tried the RUU*.exe stuff on the Windows machine while in that state and again an alleged problem with the USB connection...
Sounds like we're close?
BAM! Got it. You put me on the right track with that last post. RUU still wouldn't do the reversion even though I had some drivers installed on Windows so I had to find some other drivers (some HTC3*.exe file, 13MB) and ended up running those for it to recognize the phone.
+1 to you, sir. Thank you so much!
Glad it all turned out well.
After attempting to S-Off the phone yesterday afternoon and failing (it is unlocked), I'm now stuck at the infamous JPbear screen with the green arrow. I've read pretty much every post I can find on recovering from it and still cannot get the phone to boot correctly.
I flashed the boot img for the rom I was running, I created my own PH98 file with the boot image and AmonRa, I've tried to flash a complete rooted Global stock rom, as well as attempting a full flash of the rom I was running. The PH files seem to process correctly but when done I get a messaging it is parsing the file but nothing happens afterwards. On reboot I get the white HTC screen then straight to the black JPBear screen. The phone also does not recognize that it is plugged into my laptop or a wall charger, there are no LED's lit. Without the USB I cannot relock the phone so I cannot flash back to a stock RUU. Fastboot\Min-ADB\Controlbear all fail as the phone is not recognized.
Are there any other things I can try before I give up. I'm not sure if the S-Off attempt may have damaged the USB or not but it definitely does not respond. I do have the extended warranty on the phone but returning it would be a last resort.
I apologize for asking the same questions as many others but I have not been able to find an answer despite searching for most of the night.

Does not work. I've read the troubleshooting page and tried everything I could find before posting. Controlbear returns an error it cannot find the phone and prompts me to install the drivers and reboot. Fastboot and mini-adb return similar results (phone is not detected).
Thanks for the input.

Did you try placing a rom on your sdcard and flashing it in recovery, or just simply placing a signed PH98IMG.zip on your sdcard (meaning the official update)?

I did try a ROM but have no access to recovery. When I select it fro the hboot menu, the screen flashes for a second and then goes back to hboot. I cannot load the stock RUU because the bootloader is unlocked and I have read there is no way to relock it without working USB.
Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the imput.
control bear makes a back up before doing the wire trick. just restore the back up?

I tried that but no go. The main issue comes down to not getting the phone recognized by the laptop. The USB port on the phone does not recognize when it is plugged in (either to a PC or the wall charger). Controlbear or other utilities cannot find the phone so I cannot execute any commands. I've been searching for a strictly SD based solution but I am SOL.
Thanks though.

I can boot to hboot by using power and volume keys, but I have no recovery when I select that choice. If I choose Fastboot, it will try to load a PH image if present but when it completes it says "parsing file" and then goes back to the hboot menu.

if you can get to hboot then you should ruu. it will get your phone back to working order. just make sure you oem lock before doing it if you are s-on

I cannot relock the bootloader without access to to the phone. The laptop does not see the phone when connected to it. I cannot run the relock tool. I think the port actually died. No LED when plugged in to a wall charger or laptop USB cable. I have not been able to locate a way to relock the bootloader using the SD card.
Thanks again.

Nah no way to charge the battery. I have a VZW store near me and will take it there for a swap.
I really appreciate your help though.:good:
The only way to recover with the control bear program is to place all the files in its own folder and then CD to that folder and run from there.I had to recover my phone once. Took me a few minutes to wrap my mind around it. Just keep reading until it makes sense.
I pretty much screwed my phone so bad, and I can't seem to the find any solution anywhere...
Here's what I did in order:
-tried rooting it with this guy's guide [link taken down since im a new member, but it's on htconeroot dot com//htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux/]
[keep in mind it's S-On with HBoot 1.55]
-found out TWRP wasn't updated so I replaced it with a newer one (2.6.3)
-now rooted device
-wanted to restore to normal stock settings so I downloaded the Guru Reset M7 1.26.502.15 and put it in my root folder
-went to recovery to install the guru reset ZIP
-things install, but touch screen doesn't work
problems now:
-can't turn off phone on main screen (tried holding down power, but doesn't restart phone past the 3 second mark)
-can't boot into bootloader from restart
-ruu doesn't work
can anyone provide me with help? please and thank you
EDIT: few things to keep in mind
-everytime i use RUU 3.17.502.3, it loads up black screen with HTC logo int he middle, then I can turn off the phone.
-when loading up, i can load into bootloader
-when choosing recovery/factory reset, it brings up the software update screen, but then goes to red triangle
-at red triangle screen, i can reboot system through android recovery system.
-back at square 1, touch screen doesn't work, etc.
All I can say is that I am in the same waters, phone stuck in bootloop, or goes to triangle of death, and PC WILL NOT recognize phone at all so without driver support, I am screwed too.
Added: All I did was unlock through HTCDev, and all hell broke loose, loaded up AIO, and phone freaked upon flashing TWRP. 1.55 HBoot, 4.3 ATT update.

Here's a solution:
-get into bootloader mode
-fastboot
-plug usb in
-open cmd, then get to where your HTC One rooting stuff is (for example, everything was in a folder on my desktop)
-type "fastboot oem lock"
-your phone should say "relocked"
-open the latest RUU you have
-run things normally
that's how i fixed mine, lemme know if you have any more questions.
i also don't know why your phone has to be "relocked" in order to update it's software.

A thousand thanks, you are my new hero! And if you run the RUU, then go back and re-unlock the bootloader, it only says "unlocked" not tampered.
That's why we need to wait for the issue with Rumrunner S-off for our phones to get squared away. So we can flash other carrier or older software.
---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------
Has anybody had success with Rumrunner for 3.17.502.3 yet? I have been hitting a wall and am not the only one. The phone is freezing on adb at test 2.1. We have tried flashing the RUU and doing it again, but it fails every time in the same way.
Here's what I get:
Code:
!! Do NOT for any reason taunt, unplug, drop, eat or pet your device !!
Please wait....
..........
Checking for updates......
Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
Waiting
[PN0712000-1.55.0000]
Test 2 (ALT): Booting device
Rebooting from fastboot
Waiting for ADB (22/120)
Test 2.1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting for fastboot (7/120)
Waiting
Waiting for ADB (120/120)
ADB connection failed!!
FIX IT, yes, YOU fix it no!!!FIX IT NOW!!!!!
Reboot command failed!!
Bootloader unlock failed?
Press ENTER to exit
Specifically looking for somebody with 3.17.502.3 to chime in if they've tried it, or one of the most awesome devs that work tirelessly so we common folk may find new ways to nearly-brick our phones :silly:

Yea no problem bro, i was in your position for the whole day and i stumbled upon a billion sites and eventually trial and error'd the whole way through
Check the discussion in other thread about 4.3 and s-off. We have tried quite a few different things with no luck so far. I even posted in HTC one forums in the support thread. Hoping they will release something soon for our hboot 155.

I have been following all the posts about rooting and I managed to soft-brick my phone. I was able to temp root the phone, but I could never get superCID because the modified CID would never take. I didn't get errors, it just didn't stick. Anyway, I flashed the recovery for 2.17, but my phone took an OTA update to 2.19 a few days ago, and now I am stuck on the main screen but without the sense unlock ring. The screen works, and I can access the phone's drive and sd card, and I can adb. The bootloader shows ****TAMPERED***** (been that way for a while), and Bootloader is LOCKED. FIREBALL PVT SHIP S-ON RL, HBOOT is 1.15.0000.
Any ideas to recover to a fully booted phone?
yes had the same thing happen to me. download the ruu exe. from here http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Fireball i used 217.605.2 ruu. put phone in fastboot connect it to computer and run ruu exe. on ur computer
I followed your reply but am not having any success . . . yet.
I go through the RUU.exe screens where I verify that I want to "upgrade" from image version 2.19.605.2 to image version 2.17.605.2.
Then RUU.exe runs to the point where it tells me the process will take 10 minutes. It then gets to "waiting for bootloader........" and the phone looks like it is rebooting and a black "HTC" screen appears. Bootloader never appears. A Windows 8 Systray error message then appears saying "USB Device Not Recognized - The last USB device connected has lost communication with the computer [or something like that]" The RUU.exe program then states: "ERROR [171] USB Connection Error. Check the following: (1) phone is connected to USB cable; (2) PC is connected to USB cable" There is no further option than to EXIT the RUU.exe. (Yes, my cable is connected to a USB 2 port).
I tried to do this twice with the same error message and the same disappointing results. The phone stays locked on the black HTC screen and I need to pull the battery to change this locked state.
I have no trouble communicating with the phone with ADB and I have root (#) at ADB Shell. I JUST loose USB communications with the phone as soon as it goes tries to load bootloader. I originally tried to run RUU.exe the way you stated by putting the phone into fastboot and then running RUU.exe, but then the program would not find the phone. What am I missing here? I have HTC drivers loaded, but I keep getting the comm error. Any more ideas?
Maybe I need to flash a recovery for 2.19.605.2? Any idea where I might find that?
OK, not sure why I didn't do this sooner, but I did a factory reset from Bootloader and it seems I am back again running the 2.19.605.2. Not sure if I can root this new OTA version using the 2.17.605.2 procedures or not, but I may give this a break for a bit.
Yeah u can't downgrade to 2.17 if ur on 2.19

my evo came with an old software and firmware ...i rooted it then made two official updates yesterday after rooted and lost root.
today i made the s-off with Moonshine but after made s-off root still was not working
What moonshine can do for you
S-OFF Your HTC device if it is a supported model and firmware
Unlock your bootloader (devices that are blocked by HTCDEV.com)
Install moonshine hboot. This is a customized hboot with many eng-style commands.
Install su binary
Install Superuser.apk
Install busybox
Install an unsecure stock kernel
so decided to flash the TWRP recovery and do it by me........i flashed the TWRP by fastboot command and i selected reboot bootloader option......
then i selected boot loader and selected recovery but the phone was on htc quietly brilliant for a minute +- and after the phone booted in so..
after it i tried many times to get in hboot and the phone just dont show anything in the screen,,,,
my phone is conected and chargiing when i try to hboot the led stays on even though i disconect the usb....
