Ok, so somehow I've managed to screw this phone up royally. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just switched to Android from iPhone and I think I tried too much too fast.
I successfully followed the guide to convert my AT&T HTC One to a Google Play Edition. I got S-OFF and changed the CID to GOOGL001 and successfully got 4.4 up and running.
I'd been using that for a few months and decided I wanted to try the HTC Sense Stock Software 4.3 (being new to android I just kind of wanted to try it myself in addition to stock android) I've been through a ton of steps and attempts now that I won't bore you with, but here's where I'm at now:
I'm stuck in a bootloop. My phone will load to welcome and ask for a language and then reboots about 2 seconds later.
I can successfully get into fastboot and run commands against the device. If I flash a recovery, it seems to work for one or two boots and then it will crash and restart until I flash it again (tried with TWRP and CWM)
I am currently Tampered Unlocked but can perform fastboot oem lock and unlock. I have S-ON, HBOOT 1.54 and Radio 4T.
My goal is to go back to stock for this device with 4.3 and Sense, but since I stupidly did S-ON before I changed the CID I'm not able to run the RUU exe and since my phone is in a bootloop I don't know how to get root access to run rumrunner to S-OFF.
I've been researching and trying stuff for several days now with no luck and this forum seems to have the best advice of most that I've seen. Can anyone help? Thanks so much for your time!
I had a similar experience in which I completely removed android OS from the phone If u flash the HTC with TWRP and you are able to successfully enter the recovery... TWRP has under advance button and option called adb sideload.
basically download the Google edition that successfully ran your device and place it under the adb.exe folder.
Steps
On the phone
Access recoverty TWRP
go to advance
Click on adb sideload
Swipe to activate adb sideload
Connect phone to computer.
On computer
Go to run and enter cmd press enter
go to the folder where you have the adb.exe
and the command that you enter is adb sideload «filename.zip» press enter and let it work

Thanks for the reply and info! Ok, took your advice and flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3 to recovery. (I can only boot to recovery when I'm unlocked, not sure if that matters or not)
I'm trying to send RUU-HTC_One_GE-4.4.2-3.62.1700.1.zip (Is that the correct file I should be using)
The sideload gets to 100% but then instantly fails when it tries to run on the device:
ADB Sideload Complete
Failed
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/cache

Skipping Md5 check: no MD5 file found.
I've tried a few different versions with similar results (same file pre rooted) and same thing happens.
Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong (because I'm sure that it's me that's the problem here. )
Give this a try... At the bottom of the op thread it says if adb sideload fails....

If the link above didn't work you might want to try pushing the Rom to the phone via adb push...

I'm able to push the zip file ok, but when I try to do "install zip" it fails again. I get error flashing zip Updating Partition Detials
Is there anyway for me to achieve s-off from where I am now? If I change my CID back to the AT&T HTC one and then relock and s-on I would be able to use the stock ruu exe, correct?
I would look for a stock Rom GPE since you changed the CID and your s-on
I would look for a 4.3 or 4.4 stock Rom... Make sure also that TWRP is the latest . And try again both steps above. if that doesn't work my inclination would be to flash the Rom via fastboot.
try using this ROM, when i had the issues with my HTC i used it to sideload or push and it worked flawlessly.

You are correct to what you said unfortunately the only way for you to perform a s-off based on the information given is using rumrunner in which you need your device to boot completely to the OS

Thanks for all of your help and patience with me. I think this phone hates me. I get error flashing with every zip I throw at the phone. I get error flashing zip in TWRP and Installation aborted with CWM. Tried with 4.3 and 4.4 stock GPE rom. Same results if I sideload or push. I also get an error when i try to fastboot flash the same roms. 99 unknown fail when bootloader unlocked and 12 signature verify fail if bootloader locked. Both of these are using fastboot oem rebootRUU and then fastboot flash zip rom.zip.
I pasted my getvar all below thinking that might help. I noticed my version-main is blank as well. Could that be causing any problems?

Flash this stock recovery and also change your CID back to AT&T
fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
then
http://d-h.st/2Lr
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
Next boot into stock recovery / factory reset
this is done from the bootloader using the volume up/down to navigate and Power button to select. After you choose recovery you have to push vol up and power to see the factory reset option.
When it's done reflash TWRP recovery and try and sideload a new Rom
I recommend >> Download - ARHD 31.6
Would he be able to change back to the AT&T cod having s-on??? As far as I know you can only change with s-on only when you have supercid in place

yeah your right he need to get back s-off also after he gets ARHD 31.6 running
ARHD did the trick! For some reason none of the stock GPE roms would load but this one worked flawlessly. I was able to sideload and install, get supersu and then use rumrunner to get back to s-off. Plus this rom gives me everything that I wanted. I can keep kitkat and still get sense and zoe and whatnot. Never mind going back to stock, I think I'll stick with this for a while and try it out. Thanks so much for your help everyone!
To be in the safe side you might want to consider changing the cid to supercid...

okay,
I've unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, it's s-on and installed cm11. After less than a day, I've decided to go back to stock. Unfortunately, because cm11 is kitkat 4.4 it seems I can't even use an ruu, as they'll only go to 4.3 (which it seems i can't use because with s-on, I can't downgrade firmwares).
I've used Twrp 2.6.3.3 for recovery.
i've tried to use moonshine and rum runner, but they both fail, presumably because i've got cm11 installed. Also, when I connect to the pc, it only comes up as a media player or camera (depending on the settings in cyanogenmod), I've got debugging on and i believe everything else I should have.
In device manager, it calls itself "My HTC", yet in utorrent "HTC Aria"
When running (in cmd) "adb devices" it shows my phone, but when I do "fastboot devices" nothing comes up.
i've tried installing htc drivers, but nothing seems to change it. Some have mentioned forcing drivers but I don't know where to get the specific htc one driver.
in the bootloader this is what comes up:
hboot 1.44
m7ul pvt ship s-on rh
radio 4A.12.3750.20
open dsp v31.120.274.0617
eMMC-boot
what are my next steps/options?

this is the last AT&T RUU it will update you to android 4.3 >>
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
if that link is slow you can get it directly from HTC here >>
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-att/news/
you'll have to relock your bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then run the RUU with your phone sitting at the fastboot usb screen
Worked beautifully. Thank You.
there's only two niggling things. when you pull down for your notifications, in the top right used to be settings, now it's quick tiles like cm11.
Also, in my computer, the device shows up as portable media player, where it used to just show up as htc one and an icon that looked like it. (from quick reading, it seems this is normal.)

How to flash?
1) Download your recovery
2) Put it on your adb/fastboot folder
3) Rename it to recovery.img
4) Open a CMD/Teminal windows on adb folder
5) Put your phone in fastboot
6) Flash the recovery with the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

This is my first thread here on XDA so bare with me guys. I'm going to try to add all the important details to help you help me... yeah. Anyways, on with my problem.

Once I was one the google play edition, I updated to 4.4, just in case that matters.
The phone has S-OFF and has an unlocked bootloader. Not Rooted nor does it has a custom recovery.
My question is, how do I go back to HTC Sense ? Can I install a TWRP and drag & drop the backup & restore ? Or will installing a custom recovery brick the phone ?

Installing a custom recovery won't brick your phone. You'll just have to move the TWRP recovery to your internal SD card from your computer, install TWRP then restore from within TWRP. If you wanted the latest Sense version of Android, you could look at flashing ARHD 51.0 running on 4.4.2 instead of going back to 4.3, but that's up to you. Ask if you need anymore information.
Gpe to sense
i bought a google edition htc m8, so i wanted to get it back to sense aswell as i prefer the usability of it + the phone was made to run on that software
this took me hour to work out and hours of research on xda and other websites, so here im trying to simplify everything into one post, so people can get back to sense
so first of course root your phone if u have a google edition, if you converted to GPE from sense you will already be rooted and you can start the process (with TWRP installed)
i did it successfully but it was a huge process as there are limited resources atm to help me do it, as to why i am posting this
1. first i downloaded HTC one m8 all in one toollink)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065
once you download this program you will be able to put the phone into bootloader, with this program you wont have to use comand prompt on windows to change the cid in bootloader.
2. you need to change the phones cid from goog to CID-11111111, of the m8 all in one toolkit it enters it in for you and writes it straight to your phone.
3. once you do this you need to download -
Flash 1.54 Image- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...68&postcount=3
NOW YOU NEED TO USE COMAND PROMPT- TEST PHONE WITH - FASTBOOT DEVICES- SHOULD GET A NUMBER CODE IF YOUR PHONE IS CONNECTED PROPERLY
1.FIRST ENTER fastboot oem rebootRUU
THEN- fastboot flash zip (whatever you name it).zip REDO IT TWICE 1ST WILL FAIL )- THEN SUCCESSFUL
-Boot back into Bootloader
-Boot into Recovery
-then in twrp (MUST)

(i have been pretty brief in my explanation, everything you need is there for the tricky parts, but if you have problems with toolkit or anything else look it up on xda) but this post will cut down the process time!
thanks. i am not resposible for any faults or problems with your phone but if you do it correctly all should be good :good:
Okay! SOoooo Im going to apolagize if this is the wrong sport for this! I couldnt quite find a spot that hit everything i was trying to figure out!
SO heres the deal, was looking to upgade my phone! Found an HTC one on ebay SUPER cheap guy selling it tried to root it and got it stuck in a boot cycle..... Easy enough to fix right?! *or so it would have been on a Samsung! thats what im used to working with*
so i get the phone and play a little bit, I load into the bootloader and do a factory reset! the phone restarted and went right to the main set up page! as soon as i get to the end it says Unfortunatly Set up has stopped. *UGH* still im thinking super easy to fix! Just gotta flash Stock rom! so i head in that direction everything im finding says need to S-off the phone. so i start researching! ThinI started with the boot loader, got it unlocked *thats what all the post were saying to do* then went to move on to S-off, heres where it gets messy.... long story short..... the program freaks out gives me some error then starts in to loading CWM and then everything just crashes! Phone, Computer..... everything!
I get the phone back into boot mode, NOW it sats Tampered on the top, I cant get back to the set, Recovery doent work, factory reset doent work..... again long story short after researching it turns out i wiped EVERYTHING.
I can still get to the phone VIA command promts, I can get it to load in to the black HTC screen hell i can even relock and unlock the phone..... But I think where the issue is, the phone is still S-on..... when following all the step to fix this I cant get the ADB to see that my device is connected I can- But i can acces it through other commands..... Hopefully I havent lost everyone!!
Please tell me im not completely screwed....

You can run a RUU to get you phone working
lock the bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then run this RUU to get up to android 4.3
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
if you having problems with your drivers install these

The RUU wont work in this case. I did as you said*just to be sure.* But the RUU can cacess the phone in boot mode and because the phone get stuck on the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen its not loaded far enough to engage the USB connection. All I get is USB Connection Error when running the RUU

Next time, an easier method would be to flash a custom recovery (fastboot flash recovery *recovery of your choice*) and then install a new ROM. You put the ROM on an external USB and flash it, or you can ADB push the ROM into the phone.
When running S-Off (rumrunner or firewater) I recommend to always run it from a stock ROM.
So if I get these drivers, and my computer WILL NOT recognize my device, how am I supposed to reapply them to the phone?
I just need to get the drivers back on my phone so I can work on the recovery. I'll probably have more questions about that later.. lol
Hi all,
I have refrained from posting because I thought I would just read, but now I'm at the end of my rope. I just got my ATT htc one m8. I am on T-Mobile, but the price was right for this one.
Anyway I converted my phone right out of the box literally to GPE. I also used sunshine to unlock, and s-off. Both of these seemed to go off with little trouble.
BTW: ADB fastboot, drivers and such are installed correctly.
Things were fine, so I decided to play around some more. I preceded to revert back to sense so, I could play with more roms.
Needless to say I have done a lot of trial and error, so I will tell you what's going on now. Hopefully I didn't brick anything, and hopefully it's an easy fix.
I am s-off
Here is a Getvar all. My phone is no longer seen by adb, so commands do nothing I got this read out by using the toolkit, but prefer manual.
Also I have absolutely no ROM installed so I can not enable debugging mode, I cant do anything. Is there an easy way to re-unlock the boot loader? I don't want to go through htcdev seeing as I went with sunshine.
Sorry if this is noob, but I have struggled for like the last 20 hours trying to figure this out on my own.

fastboot oem unlock
Sorry I messed up. If you just updated your firmware, then you will need to get new token from HTCdev. The /fastboot oem unlock/ only works with GPE hboot. My guess is that each hboot version comes with different unlocktoken. I just updated my firmware and had to grab a new unlock token as well (coming back from GPE).
:fingers-crossed:

I can help you with this...don't try anything else to your phone you will just make it harder to fix. question how did you try to convert back I need to know what all u did?
I don't remember everything I don't think.. All I did was chamge the cid a few times. I tried to install stock recoveries, I tried install anything I could. Everything seemed to fail. After I changed the cid to stock the pc stopped seeing it from what I remember. Right now all I know is that these is no recovery on it, so no twrp, and no os...and I cant get the pc to see it. I will try to get it recognized by the pc but that's all til I hear back.
abd will not work in fastboot environment. As long as your phone says "Fastboot USB connected," you are still good to go. You must grab a new unlock token from htcdev and then proceed, because it seems that each new hboot has new unlock token. Otherwise you could unlock bootloader the S-off way, which I am not aware of (my phone is S-on) :fingers-crossed:

I have s-off through sunshine, do I have to go through htc, or is there a way to do it again with sunshine? My phone still says fastboot usb, but commands don't work.

Just glad to help an glad your phone is backing in working order
Hello all,
I've been browsing the forums for a few days now trying to fix my issue, but nothing I have found seems to be of much help, so I have decided to register here myself and get some assistance directly.
So, I rooted my phone and flashed twrp and cyanogenmod. After several bugs and overall irritation, I have decided to just go back to stock recovery, ROM, etc. (After all, I am a mechanical engineer - software is not my forté.)
In attempting to unroot my device, however, it seems that I just messed things up even further.
Steps taken:
1) Rebooted device into fastboot
2) fastboot oem lock
3) Reboot into RUU mode (black screen w/ htc logo)
4) Ran RUU.exe
5) (bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 35.173s
At this point, I thought that maybe it was because I was still S-ON so I was going to place rumrunner on the virtual SD. Now my PC won't recognize my phone, so I don't know how to flash rumrunner to go to S-OFF or if that's even the correct next step. So basically, I have bootloader and twrp, and that's it.

Ok so I got into twrp to try and flash any ROM but data wouldn't mount.
I wiped data through twrp, which allowed me to mount data
From here I could have copied a ROM to my virtual SD and flashed through twrp, but decided to give the RUU a try again.
This time I got ERROR [155].
Checked to make sure I had the right RUU for my CID, which I do, but I'm going to try an older RUU instead.
Since RUU wasn't working, I decided just to place the CM ROM onto the virtual SD and flash it. Finally have a phone that boots up and is running CM. Better than a paper weight, but still not a stock HTC One...

there is no ruu for your sofware, older one will not work its just how htc are made, try this ruu its the latest.( make sure you are not supercid before running it, it can mess up the phone) from your first post it looks like you are fine unless u changed it to supercid.

it should work at least it worked on mine

also u can try one of the guru resets that matches your software , or look for a stock unrooted nandroid for att htc one , u need the 5,12 sofware , older one may not work properly. also before runing a ruu make sure your bootloader is loked or relocked. good luck.
