If you click Install, under Select Zip to Install, does it say

Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB) ?

no offense mate, but this is becoming ridiculous, here you go:

Code:

Download Canadian 1.55 HBOOT recovery: http://goo.gl/2Kntxz



Make sure you're in the bootloader go into fastboot and make sure the downloaded image is in the same folder as your fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery recovery_stock_155hboot_htc_one_m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running <<< Important!

Phone will go out and start bootlooping. Now power off and go back to bootloader mode:
Go into fastboot

fastboot flash recovery <custom recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you can go into custom recovery and you should be good to go now.

you can be in any directory (folder) you choose but ls -l = lowercase L followed by lowercase S, followed by a <space> followed by a dash "-" followed (without a space) by a lowercase L
the number "1" doesnt come anywhere!!

no i do not

TWRP backups are stored by serial number not by IMEI numbers

Thank you so much everybody you saved me 35 bucks :) if I could I would buy you all a drink.

:good::victory::victory::victory::D:good:

for anybody else having the same issue. All I did was follow the reflash hboot steps
-adb push the nandroid backup
-ran the adb shell code
-hit restore in twrp and it was there :)
-finished and booted up :)


thanks again guys you are the best :)

Should hit Thanks buttons on each post from @nkk71 =)

Also edit the first post in advanced and add [SOLVED] to title.

    Can we restore directly from a zip in twrp? Every time I did I extracted the zip before on my pc then pushed the .md5 and .win files in /TWRP/BACKUPS/HT*********/backup

    no it has to be extracted like you said
    I just pushed a zip as an example to show the full path needed

    So if I get the stock/nandroid back up on my phone, does that mean when I flash a different rom I can use the backup to go back to stock?

    Thanks for your help so far everyone I really appreciate it.

    First off the file your using is not a RUU it's an OTA
    OTA M7 UL JB43 SENSE50 MR BM 3.23.666.1-1.29.666.17 R Release
    their not the same thing OTA is flashed with a stock recovery on a Stock phone.

    The nandroid backup / restore is your best bet at this point
    1
    so should I do exactly the same thing and steps just use the nandroid file instead?

    No .. you have to push the files to your phones sdcard, TWRP directory where your backups are stored and restore the backup

    it will look like this without the *****
    C:\fastboot>adb devices
    List of devices attached
    HT343******* recovery


    C:\fastboot>adb push backup /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT343*******/backup
    push: backup/firmware_3.62.401.1.zip -> /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT343******/
    backup/firmware_3.62.401.1.zip
    1 file pushed. 0 files skipped.
    3881 KB/s (28795564 bytes in 7.245s)

    I just used one file as an example .. you'll have many files in your backup
