Fixed it!
I sideloaded the rom you linked me through a USB Otg Cable. Thanks a lot for your help!

Now I just want to get it back completley to stock.
If I backup my phone through this rom and then go back to stock, I'm assuming my backup file will restore all my contacts/settings/photos etc?

your next step is to achieve s-off ... search for Rumrunner and firewater
right now you phone is rooted and has a insecure kernel (good)

no, if you want to keep messing with this phone your going to need a working PC at some point or another
Managed to update my drivers and get S-Off!
Just wanted to add, that I do want to remain rooted and have S-Off/Unlocked bootloader. All I want is the Stock Htc Rom back.

Very good! now you can convert your phone to international.
it involves changing your CID and flashing a RUU

Changed my CID to SuperCID.
Confused though on which one is an International RUU.
I see a few labelled WWE, which apparently stands for World Wide Edition, but they also have carrier branding on them.

I was looking at this thread for the RUUs

I see WWE for Rogers, Telus, BrightStarUS and Asia. I feel like it's the Asia one I'm supposed to download but don't want to screw this up.

Myself I would use the Developer Edition / BrightStarUs but I'm in the US. You may want to use something like the WWE X.XX.401.X RUU

Alright I ended up flashing this RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-27-1127-01_release_308001_signed_2_4-exe/

It had the 401 in it but the "Europe" kinda scared me. I was getting impatient though so I went ahead and flashed it. Can you just confirm if it's a good rom and if I'll get updates on time?
Thanks again for being patient with me and helping me through this. I was getting really stressed out with this whole broken phone thing and I'm glad you got me through it!

Did it update ?
your MID PN0712000 could be a problem for getting OTA with .401 RUU
The Brightstar RUU is for PN0712000 and CID: BS_US001 (Super CID will also work). Just remember to never lock your bootloader and Stay s-off Forever

if you want to move to android 4.3
use this http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...r_brightstarus_wwe_3-22-1540-1-decrypted-zip/

you flash this from fastboot RUU mode
change your CID - fastboot oem writecid BS_US001

Instructions for Flashing RUU Zip Files:
Download the RUU.zip file and place in your ADB/fastboot folder. I would recommend renaming the zip file to something simple like ruu.zip.

Boot your phone into the bootloader by holding the power and vol up/down buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader screen or if you have your phone booted you can use the ADB command:

adb reboot-bootloader

Now use these fastboot commands:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Should see the Silver HTC logo. Now issue this command to flash your phone using the ruu.zip file:

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

Now the first time you issue a command to flash firmware/ruu in fastboot it only prepares the flash. You have to issue the exact command again:

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

The green status bar usually does not reach the 100% mark. When the output in the command window is complete, you can reboot:

fastboot reboot

**Notes about the RUU.zip method. You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first. If you are running the RUU.zip as base to downgrade all your firmware because you are going to then going to restore a stock Nandroid so the RUU might not be made for your MID, so you may need to edit the android-info.txt inside the ruu.zip to include your MID or CID.


If you want to jump to Kitkat 4.4.2 use this
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-38r-1157-04l_release_353887_signed_3-exe/

Alt download site
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...8_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353887_signed_3.exe

After this you will have a true Developer Edition Phone and as long as you stay on stock recovery you will get OTA updates. (hint: you can find stock recovery's here > http://d-h.st/71m )

It did successfully flash the RUU but it seems like you were correct in saying OTA updates would be a problem.
I'll try the 4.4.2 Kitkat one and I'll get back to you in a bit.

I flashed the zip file for android 4.3 and it worked! Once I got back stock recovery my OTA updates worked again and I'm currently on Android 4.4.2 + Sense 5.5.
My problem is solved! Thanks again fir all your help! :laugh:

    Can you post a fastboot getvar all using command prompt and remove your imei and serial no please?

    Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

    Didn't work. Ran the file, used device manager to manually locate the files in Program Files (x86) and double clicked "HTC". Just keeps saying it couldn't find the driver software for my device.

    But if I understand correctly, all I have to do is find a way to update the drivers and I'll be able to sideload the Rom, and hopefully I'll have a working HTC One once again?

    yes or use a usb otg cable to load a rom to your phone from TWRP

    I have not :/
    I usually do my research before attempting to do anything to any of my devices, but since I had no intention of rooting/S-ff/Unlocking bootloaders I'm just incredibly clueless. Did some reasearch and it does look like sideloading Roms work on S-On devices. :good:

    I have a question for you, or anyone else that knows, but the guy I sent my phone to repair told me the following:
    Since I couldn't find the RUU specific to my device, I tried using a Nandroid backup that someone uploaded (This was for Bell Mobile). According to him, he says I must have tried flashing a corrupt rom or something so it's no longer an easy fix. He wants me to pay $130 so he can send it back to some factory to get it fixed. He's telling that this is no longer a soft-brick, but a hard-brick (note that the phone can still access the bootloader, recovery, etc).

    I'm pretty sure this guys trying to milk me out of my money, so I told him I'd pick it up tomorrow and get back to him later.
    I just want to make sure that what he's saying isn't true though, since I'm not exactly knowledgeable about this and I have a pretty good chance of being wrong.


    Sure sounds like a scam to me, I'm pretty sure we can get your phone working if your willing to read and learn
