I didnt do enough research and flashed ARHD 71.1 with a S-ON HTC one. Before flashing i stupidly forgotten to enable usb debugging and now im stuck on recovery/bootloader only. Any ideas on how to achieve s-off and reflash ARHD again or to revert to stock without usb debugging enabled? Help will be appreciated thanks really need this

Just for additional information:

HBOOT- 1.56.0000

You don't need usb debugging enabled in the Rom when the phone is in bootloader or recovery anyways. Usb debugging only works when the Rom has booted up

Back on topic, sorry im a noob around here but where can i get TWRP 2.6.3.3? Im currently on 2.6.3.0 so im a few versions back (?)
Also, is this rom flashable with s-on? Just wanted to know so i can at least learn something from this experience

Im assuming you have the M7u or M7ul. Download and install TWRP from here

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

Yes ARHD can be flashed with S-On

you need to put that file in the same folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are, and then flash it:

in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader



Code:
C:\ADB3>[B][COLOR="Blue"]adb version[/COLOR][/B]
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31

C:\ADB3>[B][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot devices[/COLOR][/B]
HT34xxxxxxxx    fastboot [I][SIZE="1"]<- you are in bootloader[/SIZE][/I]


C:\ADB3>[B][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img[/COLOR][/B]

writing 'recovery'...
