[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainymd:
Part of this problem was posted within this thread... Apologies if this violates forum rules but I am in a dire situation and hopeful that this will get some attention

HTC One, m7, T-mobile variant, s-off/unlocked, superCID. Here is getvar

I was trying to update my rom and things went foul. Data and system partitions got messed up.

I can boot to bootloader, I can install custom recovery and use fastboot and adb commands without a problem. But I cannot manage to get an working OS installed.

I ran this RUU as exe and also as a rom.zip from the rebootRUU screen

RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_TMOUS_1.27.531.11_Radio_4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed (MD5 checked)

Everything finishes successfully, but reboot gets stuck at htc logo screen (and I did wait)
