Cannot Factory Reset Phone

I have an HTC One XL(Evita, At&t)? I purchased it from a third party. The device is rooted and unlocked.
My phone's battery died. Once I went home to recharge it, the device was unable to get past the white HTC quietly brilliant screen. I would reboot it by pressing the volume down button + power button to reboot it and factory reset it. However, it continued to do this action. Then, I chose to reboot it under some setting. After I rebooted it, the device went to a "teamwins" screen. I erased everything, including the rom. Once I did this, it re-booted the device and continued to be on the same screen. Since this action happened, I connected it to my Windows 7 PC. I noticed that my HTC could not be identified as an external hard drive, it was identified as a CD rom drive.
I tried to fix this problem by looking at other forums containing this topic. Here is what I tried:
- I tried to go to HTC support. I downloaded the current system, and tried to use it. When I tried to use it, it kept saying error.
- I uninstalled the driver and tried to re-install it, it came back as a CD rom drive.
- I restarted my computer, pressed f8, and put disable driver signature.
- The driver re-installed as a CD rom drive.
Can anybody help me identify my problem, and a solution for it?!? Thank you so much

You need to relock the boot loader before running an ruu.
Fastboot oem lock
Did you do a reset in the boot loader or recovery? If you did it in the boot loader you just corrupted the sdcard and need to reformat that

How do you relock the bootleader, do fastboom oem lock, adnd reformat the sd card?
I resetted in both, I believe. I haven't touched my phone in over a week

Do a quick Google search for 'fastboot files'
Extract somewhere like C:\
Open command prompt
cd C:\fastboot
fastboot oem lock
Don't format the SDcard

And when you wiped system in recovery your phone had no Rom to boot up into so that's why you couldn't...search fastboot and learn a bit on it like grim said and than in fastboot do the command he said to lock your bl than run the ruu

Should I connect the phone turned off or on?

Also, when I type in the command without the phone, I get: 'not reecognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'

This...
But have a look at my "adb and fastboot. what is it?" thread. It will tell you how to ensure you have everything you need installed first. You cn get to it via the sticky roll-up link in my signature.

Red my thread. Ensure fastboot is set up correctly and test if fastboot can see your device please. We cant really troubleshoot unless you do this.
If fastboot CAN see your device, flash the images separately (manually)
eg
flash system, then flash cache, etc

you clearly did not read the thread and links within the thread.
go read what rootsu told you to read now or you wont get anymore assistance.

I tired that.
I actually even tried restarting the bootloader after flashing every component.
Seems this fastboot has some issues with android m.
Can anyone who has flashed it provide some input.

I had the same problem. Not just with android M, other Google OEM Roms. I was only able to get it to work by doing it on my Mac. I would think that Linux would have no problem either.

I had no issues flashing M through fastboot - even used flash-all.sh.

I couldn't get M to boot until I individually erased each part using fastboot, and then individually flashed each part, extracted from Google's zip, also using fastboot.

I can't get it to work on my Mac! I keep getting the data length too large error when trying to flash system.mg. Everywhere I've looked has said update the sdk, but I'm on the latest version.

You need to pass the '-s' argument to fastboot to be able to flash system.

Redownload the file could be corrupt. Only other thing try using mfastboot(google it)

[Solved] Accidentally Wiped OS From Smartphone

Hello.
I was trying to do a factory reset when I accidentally wiped the os from 'my' phone.
I still can access to bootloader and I have TWRP installed.
I have no backups and no experience in the field.
How can I have 'my' phone back on track again?
Thank you very much.

extract the images.zip (on the same directory - not a sub directory i.e images\ ).
extract Others_flashall.zip.
Your directory will look like this:
then run flash-all-partitions.bat.
Warning: that will wipe all your data

thanks i put the .bat files in the official rom 9.0.2 Oxyegen.rar
after I install the rom with the program tool all in one.
now all its running well thanks for your help
