Re-download a rom zip, boot to recovery, wipe everything, then flash the rom
(assuming you can still get to recovery [HOME+POWER] since it wasn't mentioned)

i can get to recovery but when it says that i sucessfully flashed the rom then i go to reboot system it just stays at the white HTC screen idk wat to do my nandroid wont even work now its doing the same thing i have no clue what i did wrong?

are you using firerat's?
wiping before restoring nandroids/flashing a new Rom?
what recovery are you using?
what rom is your nandroid?
have you tried to re-download the rom you are flashing? (the one that stays on the HTC screen)
How long is it staying on the HTC screen?
do you have adb installed?

just FYI, next time you ask for help you should post some of the answers to kyouko's questions without anyone having to ask. we can't help you as well if we don't know these things.

I put 5$ on the ROM he was flashing uses an uncapped kernel...

3 letter word; RUU.
Start from scratch and be careful what you flash before you flash it
Happy flashing buddy. Be careful!

Maybe you just need to let it sit on the HTC screen for a while longer to see if it finally starts booting up. Sometimes it can take a couple of minutes. Try not to watch it, if you can.

You aren't the first that I've heard of this problem. What CWM are you using? The one I posted earlier today in the superguide (VER2) or the one that was in there before?

slap, there hasnt been another recovery released that i am aware of.
ver 2 of my CWM root was only to root via CWM, it doesnt replace recovery.

This is my first htc and Im not even sure how to flash anything using fastboot. Im so used to booting into cwm recovery and flashing from that. I know there isn't a recovery already built for the vivid but if someone could point me to the right thread on how to get into the recovery Im accustomed to Im sure I could figure the rest out

Ah you are correct, my apologies. Or maybe he's using the other CWM apparently floating around that doesn't have the battery indicator issues .
But my fault, I forgot what I wrote in my own thread! imitenotbecrazy, go to the thread that Pirateghost specified, read up on everything. Also, I have written down some things just in case you have that backup issue. Try this...
- IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH BACKING UP, pull the battery, boot back into recovery (power + vol down then select recovery) and try again. OR you may have to boot up and delete the old partial backups with a file explorer and try again. OR make sure your USB is no longer connected and try again.

[Q] Software update not completing install

My HTC One is with Rogers and I had it rooted using the all in one toolkit. The last time it was running I was on the Nandroid backup as listed below which comes unrooted, but I rooted it with CWM recovery. .
Nandroid Backup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874, in particular Rogers Nandroid Backup from Whampahoofus
(http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1857-m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-roger001-12963117/)
So tonight I decided to go and unroot and flash the stock recovery because there was an OTA update available but would not install due to custom recovery. I followed the same process which is restore the nandroid backup from Whampahoofus as it is by default unrooted, I restored my data from tonights nandroid backup, booted up fine and tested that I was able to use the phone as is. I then went ahead and flashed the stock recovery (which is below)
Stock Recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270552&page=3
Success, I now had stock recovery, and unrooted. I didn't relock my bootloader as I didnt feel it was necessary just to successfully install an OTA update. I went ahead and it did go through and download the OTA, it started to install the downloaded OTA and about a quarter of the way through the progress bar, it is still there. Going for the past >30 minutes now. I cant seem to reboot out of it or anything. Thankfully cause that would probably be a bad idea if it was still going.
Anyway, anyone experience this before or have suggestions?

Mine also hanged during update and required the "press power under bright light" trick. Then after reboot it hanged again (for 30-40 minutes) and i restarted it. After the second restart it rebooted successfully BUT the sdcard contents were still under /data/media instead of /data/media/0 so i rooted and moved the files manually from adb shell.

It is recommended to flash the original RUU... After that, you shouldn't face any issues during OTA... I did the similar process as you, but i was getting a red triangle on OTA update process....
I flashed RUU and everything went smoothly then.

I have a fully stock HTC one CID 02___001 which i can give you a nandroid from. All you will have to do is restore the nandroid, then manually flash stock recovery using fastboot and you will be back to stock and able to get OTA's etc. However i cannot do this till tomorrow evening for you, roughly this time ill post it for you.
If you happen to have a usb otg cable that can connect a mouse to your phone, you can restore a 4.1.2 backup. Then flash its recovery manually and use the mouse to get around the touchscreen not working and OTA your way back to 4.2.2 stock.
I will edit this post in about an hour once the 4.1.2 nandroid i have has uploaded(super slow uploads) and you can use it if needed.
The stock recovery you need to manually flash is in the nandroid. Just need to pull it out of the zip.
Hope this helps!

Sorry guys for the delay,
Here is the 4.1.2 backup, It was provided to me by Gandalf Greyhelm but in the spirit of XDA and helping ppl get back to stock im sure he wont mind it being passed on i will pop a PM over to him shortly.

If you are on hboot 1.54 you will need to restore in CWM > manually flash recovery from the nandroid.
Then use a usb otg cable and mouse to accept the ota as the touchscreen wont work.
I've been lazy in backing up my phone >pulling the backup > wiping phone> making clean backup of 4.2.2 > uploading > restoring.
I'll try and get it done a bit later tonight.
If you have the OTG cable the 4.1.2 backup > OTA is very effective worked great for me.

Restore the nandroid backup...
Then flash boot.img...

Or do I just flash the recovery without the boot? Remembering I'm on 1.54, Ive bought an otg cable so that bit is solved, just this last bit

[Q] Rooted/s-on. Can I update anything.

Can I install stock recovery and then try to take a ota to update. Will I loose root and will I loose my rom? Will I be able to reinstall a rom or will I need to reroot?

you can try, you shouldn't loose root or anything but once you have unlocked and flashed stuff I doubt stock recovery will like your system enough to take the update. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53518227
HOW Change ...... ???
Sent from my SM-T217S using XDA Free mobile app

From my understanding, as long as /system is stock, you can install the stock recovery and then take the OTA. Afterwards, you'll need to re-root your phone. Make a backup of your current setup before you get started. Once you've taken the update and get rooted again, you can always restore your backup.

Must be the fact that I am s on. We need that s off before we can do anything as far as updating

This one is tricky. I flashed the stock rooted rom from mikmik, I then unrooted and flashed the stock recovery via fast boot. When applying the Ota, it fails because the build.prop is not stock. Comes back with an error like /system/build.prop unexpected.

I just tried it to and did the same exact thing except I had boot loops as we'll.

when I flashed back to the stock recovery to take the recent OTA, I had a reboot bootloop like every 2-3 minutes, I was ready to throw the phone against a wall, then it hit that I read recently someone else had the same issue, and mentioned a factory reset fixing the issue, yup after a factory reset, the reboot bootloop was gone, I just now rerooted and flashed a backup

yes, I was able to take the latest OTA, and no, it did not help with my signal at all, my device didn't drop calls or anything, but it has a hard time latching onto lte at times before and after the OTA.......

this might be a really stupid question (and my first post no less), but does performing a factory reset take me back to stock, unrooted form?

i followed a youtube video to root and im basically clueless with regards to doing anything more.

Hey everyone.
I've spent the better of the last three hour scouring the inter webs, Google, and these forums trying to find the answers to my questions - but to no avail (I've found partial answers, but I am afraid a partial answer could lead to a total brick).
Here we go:
I bought one of the first Sprint HTC One M8's through Amazon. Here are the details:
Model: 831C
Android Version 4.4.2
Software Version 1.12.651.17
Unlocked but S-On (Using TWRP)
Naturally, right out of the box I rooted it. However, I did not save the original ROM.
* I want to restore the phone to its original state so I can accept the OTA update and hopefully address the god-awful cell signal.
I've found a lot of stock recoveries online, but none that match 1.12.651.17.
Do I need to find that specific recovery to flash to my phone? Will another one work (e.g. 1.54.654.13)?
I've never worried about saving my stock recovery in the past (been rooting since the HTC Evo days) but it looks like not doing so finally caught up with me.
Thanks in advance.
PS I did find something 1.12.651.17 related here, but how to flash this to my phone (or whether or not it will brick) is beyond me. I've downloaded all 6 files and am waiting to figure out how the heck to get them to my phone.
