Thats fine. Thats why the second last command is to fastboot reboot-bootloader. you can also pull the cable and manually reboot

Maybe you should research yourself, instead of wanting everyone to hand hold you all the way. everything you need to know and do is written down on the HTC One XDA forum. many good people have spent many hours writing guides for people like you. respect them and use their guides.

Interesting you bought it like that..

Especially when you have no idea on how to unbrick it.. Read the guides, and delve into the Q&A forum page by page.. You may just learn something. Please don't think I'm having a go at you.. I'm trying to save you from future soft bricks and possible hard brick.

    Hello, today I've bought a used HTC One. It's soft bricked (I guess), I don't know what was done with it before, but previous owner said it was running official KitKat, I don't know if that's true.
    Phone's bootlooping but I can get into bootloader, fastboot. When I try to access recovery it says entering recovery mode... and then reboots. Same happens if I choose Factory reset from bootloader menu.
    I can't get this phone working with ADB. I've installed all drivers a few times. When I connect phone to computer I can hear Windows USB input sound and phone says "FASTBOOT USB" but adb is not detecting it. When I type "adb devices" I get no devices. I guess that's because USB debugging is off and I can't enable it since phone is in bootloop.

    What I could do with it?

    Bootloader information:

    ***Tampered***
    ***Unlocked***
    M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
    HBOOT-1.55.0000
    RADIO-4A.21.3263.04
    OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
    OS-3.62.401.1
    eMMc-boot 2048MB

    I would appreciate any help, thank you.

    When you see fastboot usb in the bootloader, your in Fastboot mode. adb will not work. Type fastboot devices.

    Can you post an output of fastboot getvar all (remove imei/sn) ?

    Now how I flash a new rom with only fastboot?
    Maybe I should return to stock?
    Edit: Can I flash RUU if I relock bootloader?

    From image version: 3.62.401.1
    To image version: 1.28.401.7

    I've found somewhere, that it's okay to flash with diffrent image version, some guy in a video said, that you must have same image version numbers, so I don't know.

    No, you can't as you are S-ON. You can downgrade only if you are S-OFF.

    Please try the following, even if you have tried it and paste your command prompt output.

    - Connect the phone in fastboot mode.
    - Downlaod stock recovery: http://d-h.st/WJ8

    fastboot flash recovery stock_3.62.401.1.img
    fastboot erase cache
    fastboot reboot-bootloader

    Try to enter recovery, you should see a triangle with android or a red exclamantion mark. Post back if your device can still NOT enter stock recovery

    May have to try flashing couple times

    Flashed twice, when I choose recovery in bootloader it only reboots and starts bootlooping.
    I've uploaded log picture, it's faster than rewriting.

    Interesting. You are having the same issue as another user right now. Try this please:

    Download http://files.trjlive.com/android/htc/one/firmware/firmware_3.62.401.1.zip


    Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet)
    Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
    Type: fastboot flash zip firmware_3.62.401.1.zip and wait for process to complete
    Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
    Type: fastboot flash zip firmware_3.62.401.1.zip and wait for process to complete
    Type: fastboot reboot-bootloader
    Type: fastboot erase cache

    Please select Bootloader and then select recovery to enter stock recovery. Post back your result.
