I have tried flashing back to the factory RUU using The All In One Toolkit just now, I did relock the boot loader by the way. Within the ADB it said the file flashed fine, but the HTC screen stayed on and never re-started.

It all started trying to switch from trickdroid to renovate rom, I was rooted and everything, things were okay but there were a couple of errors here and there. I flashed over to renovate just fine, but when I went to try and switch to a different kind of rom, I accidentally wiped my internal storage. I was able to reinstall the trickdroid rom after ADB side loading a rom option within TWRP but after I attempted to turn it on all of a sudden it began to crash on its own and just restart. As I was trying to install another rom I was noticing the same thing kept happening. Within the install screen of TWRP I would find this message "unable to mount ' / cache"

Please help me. I am mentally defeated and exhausted and tired of doing this crap. The phone has been bricked since yesterday.

Speaking of which, if you guys are curious as to where I got the stock RUU from I got it from here:
Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip | by OMJ for One

One more question:

How long does it take to rebuild Cache and Data partitions?
 
My internal storage now reads 0MB by the way. I tried shutting off the phone, waiting some time and letting things pass and it still has 0MB for storage
 
Just forced a rewrite by doing a couple wipings of data via factory reset.. However, my cache is still unmountable entirely. Anybody have any idea as to why?

How were you running trickdroid and renovate on Sprint? There latest updates are incompatible with Sprint.

I don't know what to tell you about that one. I was running version 5.6.0 of trickdroid, it was working pretty damn well beside a little bug here and there but nothing major and Renovate's version was the 2.1 nightly, Renovate was working kind of crappy, but it was functioning just fine.

On an update note I was able to get cache and data mounted and figured out, I went ahead and reloaded the trickdroid rom and I still had no apps appearing, then it occurred to me that I hadn't even done anything with a kernel, so I took a stock one and tossed it in there, finally the apps showed up, however, the phone continues to crash after it's started, does not even know the radios exist and by the time I can get going on any sort of work, it goes back into boot loop... still trying to figure what the hell I am missing here. I am absolutely stumped... it's like I am taking one baby step at a time as I slowly figure this ridiculousness out on my own.
 
Armygoat5, do what any sane navygoat6 would do. Throw the bricked one in the trash. Spend some more of your easy come, easy go cash and buy a new one (HTC will love you for this). This time, however, leave the dang thing alone.

Just remember that as long as you are able to use your phone in any sort of way (rebooting, accessing bootloader, recovery, etc.) IT IS NOT BRICKED. Head over to XDA and ask, hopefully someone can guide you. By the way, why did you use the All in One kit to flash the RUU? Couldn't you have locked the bootloader using fastboot commands and then ran the RUU.exe.
 
I got it. Hello from my unbricked, now usable HTC one :D It ends up being there was an issue with the computer I was using so I tried a different windows PC and was able to run the factory RUU that way after relocking my bootloader. Very simple, it's just too bad I didn't isolate the issue to my pc earlier. I would had used the different one way sooner and avoided this heartache. I wasn't going to give up because I knew there was still something in this phone. I'm glad I did not.

Problem solved, thread closed /.

Glad everything worked out for you! We have all been there at one time or another.

That's great. That's why I was wondering why you didn't just run the exe. RUUs are just awesome to rid yourself of all the modifications and hassles you may face.

It was my first time bricking a phone and not knowing what to do. I have done plenty of rooting and custom rims before but this one was different, since it has internal memory and all.

Yeah I was trying to run the exe multiple times but it just would not launch after the initial progress bar. At least I know how to do it and how to fight any issues I may face down the road :D

I agree! I bricked this phone for the first time as well. All due to the variations in the device.
