I successfully unlocked and rooted my desire 626s from metropcs. I then attempted to install the arm based xposed installer for lollipop and it resulted in a success. When i went to reboot the phone would go through the metropcs splash screen and hang at the htc logo. I then sat for hours trying to fix the problem trying everything I could think of. I tried running the ruu, flashing the zip extracted from the ruu, flashing the system image I found in another thread, sideloading the xposed uninstaller, manually pushing the xposed uninstaller, using dd command to write the uninstaller to my internal storage of my phone, and spending a half hour with htc tech support. I have completely run out of ideas and really need some help.
ok it seems xposed breaks something on the 626s so I recommend that nobody use it
Thanks for the heads up, was about to install it, glad I found this first. Anyways, you should just be able to wipe your data through recovery and your phone should boot up. Might have to reroot and download all your stuff back, but that should be easy enough by flashing the latest supersu.zip . anyways I wish you luck.
Search the threads - I believe that you can push the Xposed uninstaller to the phone via ADB and un-install it that way to get your phone booting again.

i tried doing this but every time i try it the recovery throws status 1 error and says it cant mount system. ive also seen around here that reflashing the boot.img would fix it but that doesnt help either

Ok so I have an Atrix HD that I rooted then went to install paranoid android on here. I made the mistake to try and install using Factory Recovery. So it threw an error in Fastboot. I used Myth Tools to get it back to stock. Then used Myth to install CWM Root it and unlock bootloader. Then went to install paranoid android again... Everything seemed to be going well but it just stayed on the Glowing X for 10-15 minutes. Knew something was up with it not loading into OS by then. So I tried to reinstall it again. No luck. Tried to use Myth Tools to go back to factory. Would just stay at Dual Core logo and do nothing. I went back in and installed CWM and tried to install Pacman Rom and it just stays at Pac is loading.
Fastboot still shows Bootloader as unlocked as it should, but is this the reason why Myth could not get me back to factory? I just want to get it back to factory at this point and worry about Rooting and installing Rom later. I have been searching and trying anything I can find on here, and droid razr forum. As well as various other sites and artices i find from google. I am at a lose. Have I bricked it enough to not come back from this or am I just missing something simple? I am looking for insight or help to get me in the right direction. I am on day 3 now off trying to get it running again.
I have tried in CWM formating Cache and re mounting it in Advance, Also have tried formating system, cache, davik cache... I did receive the can not mount errors but having formatting cache and remounting i did not get the error again.
Just take it a step at a time. Get it booted into stock first.

but where to begin? Trying to get it back to stock is not working even though Myth Tools. It states it finished I do not get any errors through Fastboot yet it stays on Dual Core never moves as if it is bricked.

Make sure you have the adb drivers installed on your computer and I've noticed this phone is weird about chargers find one that works for data too. U will know cause if you have adb installed through myth tools and you reboot into fastboot mode then your computer will recognize it. Make sure the only thing in the firmware folder in myth tools is your .zip whatever stock att firmware you want. Then in myth tools install stock and make sure you type in the response 2 when it asks if you are in fastboot mode or normal. Fastboot is choice 2. I'm a flashaholic I've tried every rom in our development forum lol. I have bricked my AHD more times then anyone should this always worked for me. Try these things see if they help

I have a suspicion that for some odd reason, as Mythtools probably should have taken care of this, that there are some lingering files and caches that would cause any rom to fail upon install. I just posted something about this earlier today.

I'm sorry I forgot to update I was able to get the phone working just had to do it through command prompt forcing you to file . The issue I had was using safestrap to install a ROM which somehow killed root access and the bootloader was not unlocked so and pretty much bricked the phone.

For recent custom roms, you must use a CWM with an unlocked bootloader.
Hello. I'm very new to the whole process of rooting my device and installing roms, so please bear with my lack of knowledge.
I recently tried to install the Stock Google Play 4.4 ROM for my HTC One (m7-tmo).
Everything went smoothly, up until I actually tried to use the phone with the new rom installed.
After briefly allowing me to go through the setup menu (language settings), the device restarted itself back to the HTC boot screen after about 5 seconds. This cycle went on indefinitely.
I then found out that I needed to have S-Off installed before I installed the rom, but sadly it doesn't appear as if I can install that at this stage (but if anyone knows of a way, that would certainly help).
I proceeded to looked for a ROM that could work without S-Off, but now I'm stuck without a means of being able to install it.
I tried to install it during the brief period of time I have that the phone is in setup mode, but that is too short for the computer to recognize my device before it reboots again.
Does anyone know of a way I can transfer the file of the rom to my device in fastboot mode or directly transfer the file to my phone while in TWRP? Or is anyone aware of a possible solution that involves a completely different method? It's a rather sticky predicament, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
adb commands (such as adb push) usually work while you in recovery..

First and foremost I am a newb when it comes to rooting. I tried installing the newest Viper Rom on my phone and everything was successful until the phone tried to reboot. It is now stuck in the fastboot/bootloader screen and I cannot go into recovery mode at all. I tried doing a factory reset and it just keeps taking me back to the same screen.
I was running Cynogen MOD 4.4 Rom and everything was working fine. I backed up my phone and wiped my phone before I ran the Viper Rom. I don't know what happened and I'm kind of freaking out. I tried connecting my phone to my computer via USB when I run "fastboot devices" through the command prompt it keeps giving me "waiting on device". I did some research and everywhere kept saying that I needed to install the htc drivers through both htc sync manager and the individual driver files I found on the internet. I did everything possible and it still doesn't seem to recognize it.
I'm currently stuck/lost on what to do hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. Attached is a screen shot of both my device manager and command prompt. I will continue to look on the internet for any type of answer. Thanks everybody.
(Sorry for starting a new thread I just didn't know where to put it.)
Does your phone boot? Can you get to recovery or bootloader?

It boots but it keeps going back to the same screen where it says bootloader, factory reset, fastboot, etc... I had cwm installed but every time I push recovery it takes me back.

Are you sure you selected sprint during setup? Maybe this is your solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503646

Hello. My friend recently had me attempt to root his HTC Desire 626s and I told him that I had never attempted on anything other than the Samsung galaxy series before (without ever bricking) he was sure I could get it done and I attempted. I was able to unlock the bootloader and install Cyengyon recovery (forgive me for incorrect spelling). Then, I installed the supersu update via the recovery and then the phone would not boot up. It would get stuck on the white HTC powered by android screen. I then tried to factory reset via the recovery, wiping partition cache etc aswell. No luck, still the same white screen, and now I know I should have updated with the system.img from htc. Because I factory reset, usb debugging isn't enabled and whenever I enter download mode, I am unable to update with adb in the recovery as the device isn't recognized. I know this is not a driver issue. I also realized that the methods I used were for the 5.1 software and I had the 6.0.1. Is there anything you guys can think of to solve my issue and unbrick this phone? I feel really bad for my friend.
Also, I always use XDA in the past, I personally have a Samsung S4 Active which I am rooted running android 4.4.2 <3 xposed. I have never had a need to post a thread until now, which is why I finally made an account.

I was in the same situation as OP, I followed what you said, and it's on the mend, thanks and please let us know when the Root for Marshmallow is coming
Re to your question about root mm
Well there is a root for the HTC desire 626s marshmallow 6.0 what I noticed was last time when trying to root it I flashed latest version twrp and the incorrect version of super su I flashed super su 2.46 wich cuased me to be in a boot loop after fixing my phone I tried it again but this time flashed the latest super version su wich is 2.76 and the latest version of twrp the phone rebooted and it worked I have root just that the first time booting after flashing takes 4mins then your phone should be working with root.
I am having issues trying to install the Xposed framework using TWRP. I have tried to ADB sideload it a few times and also tried using the Install button. Every time , it starts to install and when it gets to the part of the operation where it is laying in the files, the screen goes black and I am not only kicked out of TWRP, the phone goes into a reboot. I'm confused with this situation. I had successfully installed the framework on the same phone, the same way, a few months ago but I had since got my phone soft bricked and had to recover it and now this app is breaking my balls going back into the phone. Can someone please help me....
