Help!!!Messed it up - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello dear members, Ok to start with I am having One X at&t and I am using it at the moment in Pakistan. It is sim unlocked. I was new to this rooting stuff but I already had a lot of experience with jailbreaking iphone stuff so I thought there should be no problem.
I started with rooting and after going through all the threads on this forum plus other websites I was able to root my cell and then I unlocked the bootloader. I was having difficulty with the drivers as I am using windows 8 but somehow managed to fix it (Thanks to xda forums).At this point I thought of upgrading to ota update but since I am out of range of at&t so I tried to manually install it by PC. Now when I tried to install, it was stuck on waiting for bootloader menu and then ultimately gave "error 171" "please check if your phone is connected by USB cable" .I checked the drivers they are properly installed and device manager recognizes my phone in bootloader menu too. I again surfed the net and forums and realized I have to relock the bootloader before installing RUU. So I relocked the bootloader by "fastboot oem lock" command and then tried again but no luck. But this time this thing happened when the cell screen was stuck at "blank screen+htc logo" and I got the error 171, I restarted my device and it automatically opened bootloader menu which on the top says *tampered* then *relocked* and then *security warning". I rebooted again and the phone is in working condition as of now but when I enter the bootloader menu first it says this is build verison for htc only blah blah and then there is security warning in bootloader menu.
I now just want to get my phone in the stock condition and then update it to RUU 2.20 . Can anyone help me with it?
Sorry for such a long and boring post but I tried to make my point clear.
I have attached the pics of my software info incase they may help.
Plus this is the info I get in bootloader menu:

Ok so the tampered flag is due to you rooting your phone. It will go away if you RUU back to stock. The relocked flag will not go away even if you go back to stock. The security warning when it loads up the kernel (that red text that says "This build if for development purposes only yada yada yada") is nothing, don't even worry about it, we all have it once we start messing with our phones.
Anyway...Did you install HTC Sync on your PC? That installs all the necessary drivers to make sure your phone is recognized. I don't really know how Windows 8 behaves with our phone but if you have HTC Sync and the drivers installed and it still doesn't work then I would try borrowing a friend's Win7 computer and trying it there.
When you're in the bootloader and go to the fastboot menu does it say FASTBOOT USB at the top when you have it plugged in?

Thanks for replying. Yes it does says FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red. And yes I have installed HTC Sync which apparantely didn't install the required drivers and I had to install them manually from device manager but they are properly installed now as there is yellow triangle in device manager and it recognizes my phone as "android adb interface" when the phone is in bootloader menu and "android composite ABD interface " when the phone is on.

Hmmm... I'm not sure anymore. Did you try using another usb port? It sounds stupid but I've had more than one instance of certain usb ports not doing what they should because of drivers only being installed/recognizing certain ports.
Which RUU did you try running? The 2.20 or the 1.85?

Ok I will try changing the ports. I am trying to run 2.20 RUU

Can never understand why people who are rooted and bootloader unlocked want to install 2.20 OTA or RUU. You will lose ability to flash kernels using recovery.
Consider it a blessing that the RUU did not install. There is no benefit to installing the 2.20 RUU. just flash the pre-rooted stock 2.20 in the Development forum. Better yet, rooted stock 2.23, which is newer, or custom ROMs based on 2.23 or 2.29.

yep. new Hboot locks down the boot partition. This is a good thing IMHO less bricks due to flashing ROMS meant for the Tegra 3 HOX.
fastboot still works for boot.img.

More importantly it WP's hboot. Good for some users (such as OP), bad for others.

Bootloader Malfunction

I'm trying to get to S-OFF using Facepalm S-OFF, however when I connect my One X in bootloader to my PC (I have 2 laptops & 1 desktop) it pops up that the USB device that you connected has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it it does the same thing on all 3 PC's.I originally posted in the Facepalm thread and am now posting here as per thedailyl3af recomendation that I post here since he could not help me. When I connect my One X to the PC the phone is recognized by both the PC & HTC Sync manager (yes I shut down the Sync manager) but soon as I go to bootloader the PC no longer recognizes it. The main reason I want S-OFF is so that I can flash different kerrnals and radio's to try and clear up the One X clearity problem, when I am talking to people most of the I am saying "what" or "could you repeat that". My One X is unlocked and I do have SuperCID. Please Help! Thank you in advance
Install HTC drivers and uninstall HTC sync

That is weird. Did you try different USB ports or a different cable? That normally helps. Try to wait 10 mins as well

Why not just connect your phone normally to the computer, stop HTC sync and use adb commands to put your phone into bootloader?

I have done that, When I connect my One X to my computer, HTC Sync starts, I shut it down. I open command pompt. Then I use adb commands to open bootloader and soon as it goes into bootloader the PC stops recognizing it and says the USB device has malfunctioned. I am unlocked, have SuperCID, Have Super user and am able to use it. I am running ViperXL rom. I have uninstalled drivers on my PC and re-downloaded them and re-installed them many times, so I know it is not drivers on my PC.
Something had to go wrong when I flashed TWRP v2.4.1.0. My problem is everything that evryone is telling me to do goes through bootloader, well if my PC does not recognize my phone while in bootloader how am I going to get past that point. I even tried to flash to TWRP v2.3.1.0, through TWRP recovery, both as a seprate zip file and by starting to reinstall ViperXL (Aroma) installer and I can't even back to TWRP 2.3.1.0 which I know is not as buggy as v2.4.1.0. When I go through the Aroma installer it says that it installed it, but when I go back to TWRP it still says v2.4.1.0.
Was on Facepalm S-OFF Thread and they recomended that I try this forum since evrything they had me try did not work. I am stuck and I just want some straight to the point advice on how to get past this issue. Don't know if this will help but when I am in bootloader this what the bootloader image says, I'm only putting the first part down as you guys know what the rest says.

You have hboot 1.14. Aroma installer fails to flash images you may have to flash twrp manually. Also there was a bug in on of the versions of viperxl that would not mount. What version of viper are you running?

There is one more thing that could cause you problems and that is that your cable is bad. If you have another one that will fit your phone laying around you might want to try swapping out.

I just went through all of this. Been having this problem for the past few days. I tried different cable, differenent port, installing/unistalling htc sync, install htc driver/uninstall htc drivers, install android sdk/unistall android sdk, installing pdanet drivers, stopping htc sync, manually uninstalling all android related drivers and reinstalling them. In the end after 4 days of long hours of trial and error I gave up. EVERY solution on the internet fail. Every one of them. Came to the conclusion that something else besides android related drivers is interfereing with fastboot. So the only solution I found was to download virtual box and install a copy of windows in it. Install htc sync on the virtual machine and dont uninstall it. Then plug in your phone while in bootloader connect to the virtual machine and let it install the rest of the drivers. Then fastboot WILL work.
Im not saying don't try all of what everyone is telling you first. What Im saying is that if nothing else works although it may be a bit complicated I can almost guarantee it will work because everything is fresh and there should be no conflicts.

While I agree with you, there are steps you take with troubleshooting to narrow down the cause this way if you don't HAVE to do a fresh install of Windows on a virtual machine, you don't.

Exactly. That was what I was trying to say in the last line of my post.
I had the same problem and tried all of these solutions. Now I tried virtualbox with XP and still no luck. What seems to be happening is that Windows 8.1 cannot even hand off my phone to the virtualbox USB controller because I am getting that error that the device malfunctioned. I've also put a filter to catch all USB devices and enabled/disabled USB 2.0 controller. Any suggestions?

[Q] Help, may have bricked

A little foreshadow. I attempted to install the jellybean update on a rooted ATT phone. I ended up getting sent to the TWRT (?) screen on the install. I was silly and decided to clear the system... Which erased my OS completely.
For a while I was able to get to the TWRT(?) screen where I could mount my sd card, etc. While researching the problem I came across this:
a solution of fastbooting a recovery.img
I ran the fastboot recovery.img. The only problem is the only screen I can now access is the bootloader. I have bootloader 1.14.0002 loaded onto my phone if that helps.
Is there anyway to try to get a operating system or flash a rom onto this phone still or is it bricked for good? Also if I was able to put a rom onto it, what do you sugggest?
When I try to go to Recovery or Factory Reset, I get the HTC screen with the red text underneath it and it never goes any further.

That is the information listed in my bootloader as of now. I am not showing it listed as a drive in my computer when connected to USB. Also when I 'power off' I am in a reset cycle that doesn't stop.
I really appreciate any help in advance. This was a big wake up call to myself about how I should be a lot more careful when messing with these things.
Thank you to everyone that answers!

[Public Service Announcement] Read before installing the AT&T Jellybean OTA or RUU
You might be hosed. Can you get into bootloader?
Sent from my One X using xda premium
Read before doing anything. Such a simple task. It's easy to read, it's hard to come back from a brick.
Sent from my One XL using XDA Premium
You are not bricked, you are not even close to bricked... If you are already rooted, get the official jellybean update of your head. Clear your thoughts and lock it away. There are tons of custom jellybean ROMs available, a couple based on atts JB update... Flash one of those. If you can get to bootloader you're fine. If you can still access twrp, even better... Which version of twrp do you have IF you can still access? We'll start with that. If not You'll have to fastboot a recovery. 2.3.3.0 is your safest bet, I think the community will agree this is one of the most stable versions for our device.. Just in case you have to push it, download from here onto your computer. http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-evita.img
Now drop that image file into your adb/fastboot folder. Right click your adb/fastboot folder and open a command prompt from there. Shoot this command.
Fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-evita.img
Now from bootloader choose to boot into recovery. Awwww yea now we on to something!
Now you can download the rom of choice onto your computer. Since you opted for official JB, take a look at Scotts CleanRom. It uses ATT firmware as base :thumbup: once downloaded, double click the zip file (rom) it'll show contents, and youll see a boot.img. simply drop the boot.img into your fastboot/adb folder.
Now on your phone. Choose "mount" in recovery. Make sure it mounts and shows files on your computer. From here drag the entire rom zip (cleanrom) onto your SD card. Now "unmount" hell yea we getting close. I can feel it!
Back out and choose "install" find cleanrom.zip, and swipe to flash. F*ckin rite, this is what android is all about.
Once its completed, DO NOT REBOOT SYSTEM. Since your s-on and have 1.14 hboot, you'll have to fastboot the boot.img you put in your adb folder. Choose to boot into bootloader! Make sure once again it says fastboot usb
Fire up command prompt inside that folder.
Shoot the command ---> fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sending.......
Okay....
Finished.....
OMG success!!! Some people will say to ---> fastboot erase cache
I don't necessarily do this, but it definitely won't hurt. Now reboot system and enjoy Scotts hard work. They don't calls his ROMs the most stable ROMs on the planet for nothing

Not only does fastboot erase cache not take long it avoids many stupid little issues. I would say it's a must when flashing a new recovery.

The reason it went to recovery is very simple. The OTA needs to have stock recovery in order to install. You don't have stock recovery on your phone anymore, you have custom recovery (TWRP). So the OTA stalled there, when it didn't find stock recovery.

Of course it did, what were you expecting to happen? Wiping the OS is the very definition of what happens when you wipe system. If you didn't know what wiping system would do, you shouldn't have done it. For that matter, you shouldn't be doing anything on your phone if you don't know what its for.
A lot of this points to a fundamental lack of reading and understanding:
- Don't know the name of the custom recovery installed on the system
- Wiping things without knowing what they are
- Basic rule (that many folks here seem to ignore, for reasons unknown): Don't install any OTA on a rooted device without first researching what will happen
Lack of basic understanding which spells almost certain doom when modding smartphones. I would highly suggest a few solid hours of research before messing with your phone anymore. I'm not saying this to be a jerk. I'm saying it so you don't brick your phone.
You aren't bricked. With very few exceptions (and this isn't one of those) if the screen turns on, and you can get into hboot, the phone is recoverable. And probably fairly easily so, with the right steps. But you need to do some homework before proceeding.

[HELP] Not sure if bricked or hardware issue?
I know this is my first post, but I really need the help.
(Also, I'm sorry if this is a bit long)
I've have searched the HOX Evita and Android Q&A forums countless time in the past 3 days trying to figure this out. This thread and this one: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156665&highlight=fastboot+usb+hangs", are the most similar to what I think is happening to my phone.
Just a little background:
- Bought a used HTC One X, but has a cracked digitizer which I'll be replacing this weekend. (Not sure if this is causing the problems, could it?)
- I was told that the OS was still stock, but I know that's not true now.
- During the first 12 hours I used it, I had no problems.
- Then while I was playing music it rebooted and went to the HTC boot up screen with the red text. Stopped then rebooted again to the normal HTC boot up screen but just hanged there and vibrated nonstop.
- I then used the power button to force a shut down and haven't been able to use it since then.
Here's where I'm at now:
- I'm able to get to the bootloader screen sometimes with the VOL DOWN+PWR method, but most of the time it goes to the QHSUSB mode.
- When I can get to the bootloader, I try to get to Fastboot or Recovery mode but once I press the power button it just stops and does nothing.
- The few times I have gotten into fastboot, and plug in an USB cable, it hangs.
- So far I have NOT gotten it to show "FASTBOOT USB" therefore I haven't been able to use a RUU or flash a boot.img.
- I have reinstalled the drivers almost 5 times now, and tried with different sources from here and HTC Sync. And also tried with 3 different cables and USB ports on my laptop. But still no signs of a connection with my laptop.
- And at one time I (before I knew I shouldn't have) I did try to Factory Reset from the bootloader, but nothing happened. I hope that won't become my downfall.
But yeah, sorry again for the long post, just trying to be thorough. If anyone has an idea of what I can do, please I need your help. It really doesn't matter to me whether my HOX goes back to stock, or use a ROM like CleanROM 6, as long as I can use it again.
Also here's the info at the bootloader screen.

- So far I have NOT gotten it to show "FASTBOOT USB" therefore I haven't been able to use a RUU or flash a boot.img.
- I have reinstalled the drivers almost 5 times now, and tried with different sources from here and HTC Sync. And also tried with 3 different cables and USB ports on my laptop. But still no signs of a connection with my laptop.
- And at one time I (before I knew I shouldn't have) I did try to Factory Reset from the bootloader, but nothing happened. I hope that won't become my downfall.
But yeah, sorry again for the long post, just trying to be thorough. If anyone has an idea of what I can do, please I need your help. It really doesn't matter to me whether my HOX goes back to stock, or use a ROM like CleanROM 6, as long as I can use it again.
Also here's the info at the bootloader screen.

You will have to get a proper fastboot connection before you can do anything. Then unlock the bootloader then you can flash a recovery on there. Is this an AT&T phone?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is an AT&T phone. I understand that I need a fastboot connection, I'm just having difficulties timing it. Is it normally this difficult to get a FASTBOOT USB connection? Or is there something else that I could be missing, or any other method?
I have thought about booting Windows XP on my laptop from a flash drive then trying to connect from that. Does XP have a better record when it comes to unlocking and flashing with android?
If you did a factory reset from bootloader your sd is corrupted. When you can get into the bootloader what does it do if you click on recovery?

There's nothing to time. Drivers and fastboot/adb are all you need. HTC Sync can get in the way so kill or uninstall it if it's running. When you boot to Bootloader, select fastboot, plug in the phone, if you have the the drivers it should go into fastboot USB. I have seen people having issues before due to something interfering with the HTC drivers but it's not common. You can try creating a VM for a clean environment with less chance of anything interfering.
Thanks again for the replies guys.

I was just able to get back into Bootloader, and tried to go into recovery, but with no luck. It just hangs at the bootloader screen. :
EDIT: Not sure if relevant, but after that it eventually shut down, and when I checked it in the Device Manager it appeared again as QHSUSB-DLOAD.

I'm gonna try it again with HTC Sync uninstalled. But if I get the same results I'll probably will endup creating a VM, and hopefully get better results.
I would also like to add that when I do try to get to the bootloader I get various results. Sometimes it goes into QHSUSB like I said in my first post. Then sometimes just nothing but a blank screen and the LED light blinking like the battery is low, or it's solid as if it is charging even though my HOX isn't plugged in to anything. That's what I was referring to when I said I was having difficulties timing it.

factory reset in bootloader corrupts the SD card. We wont worry about that just yet as there's nothing we can do about it until we can get recovery on there.
You're going to have to be very careful because it sounds like your EMMC partitions might have some issues. if you can get it to bootlaoder KEEP IT AT THAT SCREEN. don't power it off or anything, leave it there. Because one wrong move could be a perma brick. If we can get a rom on there to S-OFF with, we can RUU to restore your emmc partitions.

[Q] Getting Error 170 while trying to RUU to 3.18...what am I doing wrong?

As the title says: I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU for my AT&T HTC One X. I'm currently on an old build of CM10.1 (beautifully maintained by H8rift) and was wanting to try the latest build he posted with the 3.4 Kernel. I am S-Off and Unlocked. I searched the forum (internal search seems to be broken at the moment) and all I keep seeing is mostly go to fastboot THEN run the RUU. Well I'm in fastboot (enabled the menu from within CM...less I just misunderstood that completely). Fastboot shows "Fastboot USB" but the RUU still gives Error 170. What did I do wrong?
Running this on a Windows 8 x64 system, installed HTC Sync Manager (still didn't help). I updated the Android SDK Tools to the latest version. My CID is all 1's (as per the S-Off directions). I'm at a loss here hehe.
Ooh I have TWRP 2.4.1.0. And yes I barely post, just always looking, reading, etc.
Is the USB port you're using 2.0 or 3.0? If it's 3.0 (it should have the USB icon and a little ss) try switching to 2.0. Also, try running RUU while not in fastboot.

Yup running it on my USB 2.0 ports. Tried my case ports and the motherboard ones, same thing. Also just tried it with the phone booted. No dice. Even using the HTC USB Cable (not like there should be a difference but hey, just in case). Maybe I should threaten the phone...with a hammer. (Nah I'm not that mean).

It seems to me like a driver issue.
if while in fastboot mode fastboot devices does not show the device, The RUU will not work.
uninstall HTC driver and HTC sync and any other phone software (for samsung or whatever else)
Install latest HTC sync
make sure fastboot devices lists your device, then run the RUU

Hey you said you were on Windows 8. You may have to manually install the driver to get it work, that's what I had to do. Or you could use the universal adb driver, but if you're gonna RUU, I'd be safe and use the HTC one.

Alrite after removing both managers (HTC and Samsung), reinstalling, and then having to turn off debugging then turn it back on...it now sees it
HT25CW****** device (first said offline but I looked at the phone and noticed it was asking for permission).
Time to continue flashing! I think what happened is I had the universal USB drivers but then had to install KIES for my bro so it replaced them. Then installing HTC on top of that made it give up. Thanks you two! I'll post if I have any other strange issues.

Dear Turbo Mach 5,
Could you please provide the detailed steps you followed to RUU your ATT HTC One X.
I am also planning to update my ATT HTC One X with 3.18 RUU to use CM 10.2 based roms.
Please provide this information which will help me to start with my device.
1) Whether we need to re-lock the bootloader ? (I have SuperCID and S-Off)
2) After RUU ing whether we need to unclok the boot loader and root the device if we have SuperCID and S-off?
Thanks and Regards,
Sathish.

You don't need to relock your bootloader to the run the RUU because you have s-off. And your s-off status and unlocked bootloader should survive the RUU process. All you need to do afterwards is flash TWRP recovery again, then you can flash a ROM. Please be aware that cm10.2 is still very alpha and multiple users have reported bricks from running it.

Hi timmaaa,
Thank You very much for the clarification and update on cm 10.2 rom.
I was thinking with RUU my bootloader is going to re-lock even though I have S-off.

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the RUU as well. The problem seems to be getting the usb driver for my oneXL working. every time i plug it into my win7 pc, it goes through this installing drivers process but having clicked on "display details", the "android phone" component of the drivers says "failed". I've tried universal adb driver, and HTC usb driver with and without htc sync installed. the HTC sync manager keeps saying there is an update available for usb driver, even though I uninstalled the driver manager and htc sync.
Have not been able to get adb working, when i recently S_OFF my phone I had to use adb over wifi - but it worked.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!
Your post is a bit confusing as to which drivers you actually have installed. Download the latest HTC Sync Manager from the HTC One XL page at HTC.com, install it, connect your phone, drivers will install, uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave drivers installed. Also, make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port and the HTC cable that came with the phone.

[Q] Cannot soff, devunlock or anything else

Hi guys!
First of all thank you for reading.
I'm probably in my 3rd day lurking around every possible forum and thread looking for an answer to my similar problem but have yet to find one.
I used to have a sensation xe but I kinda smashed the digitizer to bits. before that the was battery swollen and the back case pretty damaged (it survived a 120 kph gps reading of an rc car before going end over end across a parking lot). Meanwhile I got an Htc One, which is superb and I kinda forgot about the old gal.
A few days back I found a guy selling a sensation for spares (the mobo was fried on his) so I just bought that (for 20 euros) and figured all I needed to to was a mobo transplant and then have a nice almost new sensation.
But obviously the digitizer is not calibrated. I found the forum with the tutorial on that but it requires super CID and Soff. Cannot do either of them.
Since the mobo has been replaced the devunlock didn't work. Cannot, for the love of me succeed with the junopunutbear soff with the wire trick. Tried it on a ubuntu live cd, all goes well up until the wire trick. On a side note, I design and build 3d printers for a living, I might be a noob in the android department but that's about it. Even tried an automatic timed relay to do the two wire taps and still nothing. Obviously, it's not working on windows, I found the kgs1992 tool which requires a version of controlbear for windows which I cannot find (found one but it doesn't recognise it when I put it in the tools folder).
tl;dr
Cannot devunlock, cannot soff, nothing. Could I possibly try changing the IMEI so that i can maybe just maybe devunlock it first? I tried putting the mobo back in the old phone, still powered up but didn't recognize the token. I'm pretty much stuck right now.
Any help would be highly appreciated and if you read the whole thing, kudos to you for standing my chatter !
i sent you a pm
also you can follow this guide which avoids wire trick

Stuck on confirm Unlock bootloader
Ok, my phone got really messed up with TWRP format bug.
Since then, I have tried RUU, different recoveries and finally got stuck with Relocked, S-ON, no ROM, no ADB on my Sensation.
When i try to unlock via Unlock_code.bit i used earlier i am able to send it via fastboot to phone where it prompts me for a choice Yes/No.
And here is funny part.
I can select No with my power button which reboots my phone and shows white screen with bootloader after it since there is nothing on it.
But, when i press Volume up and select Yes option and Power button to confirm it, nothing happens. Actually it freezes phone and i have nothing else left to do except pulling out battery and booting to bootloader.
Since it is some kind of alive, I'm sure there is some way to revive it but I guess I'm kinda not seeing right steps to unlock it, s-off again, and custom recovery and wait for twrp team or shantur to find a sollution to fix corrupted partitions.
Can you help me with unlocking?
What logs do you need?

Well, i can certainly try and tell you what I did. Basically listen to the wonderful advice of @rzr86. Assuming you have tried many tools, you probably have the temproot utility. I just used that and Rumrunners, no wire trick no nothing, those were pretty straightforward and I finally managed to soff and supercid it. Afterwards I just installed 4ext recovery and was finally able to install whatever custom rom I wanted.
My problem however is now a different one. Cannot calibrate the touchscreen using the 58diag file. I'm using cgmod11 and if I run the calibration file, it gets stuck in bootloader. Standard RUU and it does nothing at all for the touchscreen. I'm pretty much stuck and out of ideas.
Aaaanyway, try rumrunners with temproot and get back to me with the results !

S-OFF requires a working rom so you can't use S-OFF method
with windows 8.1 you will face connectivity issues
type in search box how to set up adb/fastboot in windows 8 but the point is that you don't have enabled usb debugging mode
so i am not sure if you will have any success
by the way what version of TWRP did you flash?
the latest? (2.7.0)
I was using TWRP 2.7.0.0 which corrupted my partitions so i tried various recoveries to fix the situation without success.
So I tried to RUU and it also failed.
Somewhere along the way of trying to revive my phone, i used fastboot oem lock and now i somehow have S-ON device which is RELOCKED and I have no custom recovery. I can't even access HTC recovery now.
When i try fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin from HTCDev it prompts me with screen to choose YES to unlock or NO to unlock.
When i choose YES with Volume button and press Power button to confirm, device freezes and stays like that forever, or until I remove battery.
Selecting no reboots device and brings me back to bootloader.

I tried unbricking project but it hangs on start with connecting to device or waiting for device.
As I understood, it needs to access ADB which i cant succeed.
I dont have JTAG equipment so it goes to some service to see if they could repair it.
It's such a great device, i don't want to lose it so soon

HTC One cant figure out what I need to do

I have an HTC One M7 from sprint that I owned for not even 6 months before it started randomly bootlooping and losing signal. I gave up on it and used it as a paper weight, but now I would like to finally get it functional again as my old phone is no longer usable. I am new to Android devices. I have read thread after thread for the past 2 days and have yet to fix this phone.
I have cleared all caches and done factory resets to no avail.
The phone is stuck in bootloop if it is allowed to restart as normal. Once booted, it will immediately reboot if you swipe to unlock. If you wait, it will display "com.htc.htcdialer not responding" before rebooting again. It does not bootloop if you put it into bootloader/fastboot/recovery whatever you call it. I am trying to just load Android Revolution on to the phone instead of retrying the old OS.
I have already unlocked bootloader. I originally tried to push the androidrevolution.zip to the phone, but ADB gave an "error: device not recognized". I tried to install twrp recovery, but fastboot gets stuck at "waiting on device". I understand I'm having issues with the PC not recognizing the phone. The only android thing in device manager is "Android 1.0" and it has no driver installed. I have installed multiple drivers and tried different ports and cables. I cannot use PDANet to install drivers to recognize it because I cannot get access to the phone to enable debug mode. I cannot use sideloading because I can't get the device to be recognized. Everything I try seems like a constant circle.
I don't know if I'm giving enough information or not. I'll answer any question/give whatever info you need to solve this.
Can anyone please give me any insight as to how I can get my phone to work before I get angrier and break it?
BUMP
Has anyone else been in the same boat? Still struggling to figure this out.

If its a software related error you can get rid of it by flashing (installing) the stock firmware again. First you ned to check HBoot and CID. Connect your phone in "fastboot" bode, open commandline and type
fastboot getvar all
Post the output here (Delete your IMEI). Then i will get the right firmware for you and can guide you how to install it.
If the error is hardware related (signal loss?!) you probably can't do much on your own. What brings me no the next question: If you had the phone for just 6 month when the errors occured first, why didn't you let the vendor fix it? Phone still had guarantee.
It just says :
Waiting for device
My computer won't recognize the phone properly.
I took my phone to sprint and was told I would have to pay $65 for a used phone replacement, which I thought was ridiculous. I contacted HTC and was told I would have to pay shipping to send it in, and would be a week before I got an answer for it. (Fix it or refurbished one). So I said screw it, and reactivated my old phone. I'd fix it myself eventually.

Make sure you install the "fastboot" driver correctly. Are you running win 8.1?

I'm pretty positive it's installed correctly. I've deleted it and reinstalled it 3 times. The first two times I did it all manually. The one I'm currently running I got from here:

I meant the HTC driver (for fastboot) -> Your devices must be listed as "My HTC" in the device manager. If it has a yellow exclamation mark, try to install the driver manually for "My HTC".

I had done that before but it didn't work. I tried it again but this time noticed a windows protection blocking it. I disabled it and got it all to work now!
I put the new rom on the phone but it gets stuck at the HTC screen and never loads. I read that I have to change the CID and change to S-OFF for it to work.
However, now I've got another problem that I can't find a solution to ANYWHERE.
I cannot get the phone to S-OFF. Everytime I try to change my CID I get this:
C:\Android>fastboot oem readcid
...
(bootloader) cid: SPCS_001
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
C:\Android>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
...
(bootloader) [JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.007s
C:\Android>

I've tried manually changing the CID and using a CID script and both keep giving me the "[JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error".
Any ideas??

Is your phone already S-OFF ? Uninstall HTC sync before changing the CID. If you want to flash a unbranded firmware later, make sure that its compatible with your MID.
BTW
Why don't you flash the sprint firmware again to check if your error got fixed.

No, the phone says it's S-ON. If I uninstall HTC Sync, won't that remove the drivers I needed to get my computer to recognize my phone?
I'm sorry I'm new to this, but what is MID?
I thought about retrying the original sprint firmware but I'd honestly rather just try out a new custom one.

My bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP recovery. Would I have to remove those to use the Sprint RUU?

Just relock your bootloader to use the ruu BUT if your phone is S-ON you can only RUUs that are newer or the same version number as actually installed on the phone. You can safely uninstall HTC sync, drivers persist.
The RUU link I posted is LP and was just released. Should be newer than what he was running.

I checked the RUU myself. Was just a general information and not a "stop, what are you doing?!''
