[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rescue119:
I will start from the beginning. I messed up and wiped my htc one completely. (with no backup done prior)

SO after reading numerous threads/how to I still can not get anything to work.

I have been using toolkit v3.1 but the thing is my computer does not reconize my phone...well it will in fastboot mode but not in bootloader or twrp recovery so I cannot go into recovery to just install a new ROM.

So i have been trying to get it back to stock but I am getting the same error message.

So this is my info.

RELOCKED

M7-UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-TELUS001

HBOOT-1.44.0000

RADIO-4A.14.3250.13

openDSP-v26.120.274.0202

eMMC-boot

this is the RUU which I thought might work ,guru_reset_m7_3-22-661-1-zip, from htc1guru but then i get this

only thing i havent tried is using a OTG USB cable, which I dont own, but I am going to get one tomorrow if I can find one in town.

Maybe I am missing something. You mentioned about flashing a RUU not running it off of a zip? How do I do that? I am trying to use the flash factory RUU zip from the toolkit program and thats when I get the error above. Maybe I am not using the right RUU?

should add I tried using the fastboot manually and got this

c:\fastboot>fastboot oem rebootRUU
