[Q] Help: cm6 stuck at "X" after universal root with locked bootloader

So I just got back my nexus one from htc, got my mother board changed and preloaded with 2.2. I rooted it with universal root without unlocking my bootloader.
Problem: when I reboot after successfully loading CM6 and have it running, it reboots to the "X" and hangs.
Am I doing something wrong?

For how long is it hanging? I recall having to wait what seemed like forever the first time I booted with CM6... but eventually it 'took'.

You have a locked bootloader as well right? I waited a good 30 mins. Maybe i should leave i and give it more time to boot?
All works normally on inital boot of CM6 after install with locked bootloader, just that when i try to reboot the first time manually... it stays at the "X" for an awefully long time.

Did you wipe?

Try wiping data,cache,dalvik-cache.

ya, this is what i did.
1) Universal root with locked biootloader on stock 2.2
2) installed rom manger
3) flashed recovery + downloaded and flashed CM6 + google apps
Boots up fine, runs CM6 flawless. Upon manual reboot, it hangs on the X
Then i tried:
1) reboot into recovery
2) full wipe + davlick cache
3) reinstall CM6 + google apps
Still hangs. I haven't had time to play with it, but ill try to leave it along upon reboot a lil longer to see if it pulls thu~

Please let me know whether after installing the 6.0 cyn. rom and after the initial install you can then reboot and it pulls up and runs as usual. I am getting ready to flash the cyn 6.0 rom I am on stock 2.2 and have never flashed a rom before I have backed up the current rom through Rom Manager and flashed Clockworkmod recovery and I have the unloocked bootloader root as well. I have a question if and when I flash the new rom through Rom Manager does it not wipe and clear data etc. automatically? If not how would i go about doing that. Any and all help is greatly Appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY bootloader is LOCKED, i rooted differently. Since you have a UNLOCKED bootloader, you will have no problems booting.
I still never got a chance to play with the N1 yet, ill keep u guys updated

When you go to flash a new ROM in Manager, it will offer you the option to wipe and/or backup before it applies the ROM.

Thank you so much for the kind replies!! I meant to say that I had a locked bootloader root using the one click root and unroot. I guess this means I would face the same situation as described earlier in this thread. I am very grateful to all the posters for sharing. THANK YOU!!!

Do you mean it hangs on the nexus one X boot animation? Because CM6 has it's own boot animation you shouldn't see that at all.

I would test it with a different Rom to see if you get the same result. If it's only CM6 doing that, maybe try the nightly version.

Recovery does not function properly, can't install custom ROM.

Hi, I probably performed a lot of stupid steps on my HTC One but this is what I did so far and could use some help. I have currently used the HTC all in one tool by hasoon2000. I had Android Revolution 6.0 and was working perfectly fine but then decided to install Android Revolution 7.0. Unforunately, I guess Clockwork Recovery doesn't like aroma installer because it froze halfway through the installation. I turned the phone off but it proceeded to freeze 3 more times. Eventually it got stuck into a boot loop. Then because I could not do anything, I cleared the dalvik, cache, system, and data. I have erased the cache through fastboot and flashed a new boot.img of the old ROM. I am currently trying to install TrickDroid 5.1 on my phone but when I try to install TWRP recovery it will blink for a second then load back into bootloader. When I install either CW recovery or CW Touch, It works but the phone shuts down automatically into bootloader when I either attempt to factory reset, install zip from Rom, sideload Rom. Can anyone help me please? When I turn on the phone without going into boot lader it just stays on the htc logo, im assuming because there is not ROM installed right now.

hi mate post this on trickdroid thread someone there will help you out

First step is to make sure you don't use the touch screen while installing the rom. Use the volume keys and the power button to make selections. If that doesn't work, try a few other times. I had the same thing happen to me. If all else fails, try installing the maximus7 rom. That's the rom that installed for me without trouble and it'll at least get you a working phone until the other roms are fixed
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

All right I'll try to sideload the Maximus ROM. Some extra info, the cache won't mount at all.

Does anybody have any previous versions of CW recovery or TWRP i can flash onto my phone? I heard the newer recoverys aren't very compatible with aroma installer or the newer ROMs.

Always do 3 wipe, it should be eisier to pass the weired aroma installer frozen problem.

[Q] Problems with custom rom HTC one

I know there are a million posts about this, but I have been through them all trying to follow the guidance because the problems seemed to be the same as others have faced, but I feel differently now....
I unlocked my HTC one, following the htc dev site.
I installed TWRP (I cannot for the life of me get CWM to load into reovery, it only reboots the phone...)
loaded the roms/Super SU onto the SD card.
I know my phone is rooted (or i should assume?) because SuperSU is requiring me to grant access to apps and such.
I flash the custom ROM to the phone, install the package following Revolutions steps. Complete installation, return to fastboot menu. Flash boot.img, clear cache and reboot phone....Phone goes to the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen, with the development message at the bottom and continues to reboot over and over and over from there.
What did I do wrong?
I know pretty much have a phone that wont work because even after restoring it, it is ina boot loop after it fully boots up and nothing is loading correctly. Is there any way to start this from scratch?
Notes:
I tried doing an ADB sideload of Revolution HD.
I do a factory wipe before i load any rom....
Edit:
I have tried multiple ROMS...all the same effect....
I also get the message after installing the ROM from TWRP that "your device is not rooted, swipe to install superSU" so sometimes i swipe it, sometimes i dont...either way same result.
Update #2:
I flashed a ROM called 42ONE....it ended up successfully booting past the HTC screen and is currently updating the android system...However, it will operate for about 2 minutes then the phone reboots like it was before when i tried to restore....what the heck?!?

There is no need to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Just flash the rom from twrp.

Download the rom again (might be a bad download), transfer to your sdcard, do a full wipe, and flash again. Something you flashed has created a conflict.
Edit: That's a Sprint ROM. Do you have a Sprint phone? If you've been flashing GSM roms, that's your problem there.

[Q] Boot loop when installing custom rom

I've been trying to flash a custom rom to my verizon HTC one, and have been getting stuck in a boot loop on every attempt.
ROMs I've tried:
CyanogenMod (m7 nightly 3/19)
ViperOne (5.8.0 and 5.7.0)
Currently running (and stable):
S-Off and Booloader Unlocked
stock radio
stock firmware
stock ROM (w/ root)
TWRP 2.7.0.0
CyanogenMod would boot, but then randomly reboot shortly afterward and was unable to recognize my SIM. Viper goes into a true boot loop, rebooting at the HTC splash screen (w/ red warning text). I have tried flashing each several times, wiping before each installation. Luckily, I have a backup of the current stable ROM, so I'll always be able to get out of a loop. I'm not new to unlocking and flashing ROMs but I've been using an HTC Thunderbolt until now (not losing my unlimited data, finally gave in and bought a used phone). I never had a problem on my old phone, but I feel like I might be missing something.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
EDIT: Tried Android Revolution HD 53.0, same result as Viper

You need to flash a verizon compatible rom.

I came across this in some of the research I was doing, and I realize that was a problem for Revolution, but Viper is listed as compatible. I would have originally asked on their thread, but I'm not allowed to post in that section yet and I wasn't able to find a similar post because the search isn't functioning right now.
The CM page said that build was compatible for multiple carriers, but I did try the m7vzw build and got an error during the installation that said I was using an m7 device.
EDIT: Problem solved, switched from TWRP to PhilZ CWM recovery, Viper booted successfully.

Stuck on Boot Screen (HTC Quietly Brilliant)

Hi,
I got my brother's old HTC One M7 and tried to flash the ROM.
I have experience with Samsung Devices so I figured it worked the same way.
I install cyanogenmod using their installer. It worked, but dreadfully slow (slower than the stock rom).
So I downloaded Android Revolution 53.0, put in the /Downloads folder and went into recover and tried to install from zip.
It appeared as if the installation went through, and now the phone is stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
I can go into HBOOT, FASTBOOT, RECOVERY.. But I can't seem to get past it.
Just went into recovery and see "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
Please help!
Thanks.

First question....what version recovery are you using
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

To revive this thread.
So, I was able to figure out the original problem or at least get around it.
For whatever reason Android Revolution HD wouldn't install despite trying to flash the ROM using TWRP or CWM recovery.
I was able to get CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth to work without issues.
I later used a Nandroid backup of a Bell Mobility (CID BM____001) and return it to "stock" JB.
I'm trying to get KIT KAT on it, I get the OTA update notification, but after it initiates the installation, device reboots into my custom recovery.
So, I tried to flash the stock BM recovery, and BM Stock KitKat install starts, but then I get a teal and pink screen back to back and get stuck on the HTC / Beats screen.
Any help is appreciated.

OK, your first problem sounds like you didnt flash the Boot.img first through fastboot, before trying to install the ARHD Rom, extract it from the zip file you downloaded and flash it through fastboot, then flash the rom, I believe Sense Roms (ARHD) will not work on non sense rom boots like CyanogenMod.
Post 3 problem is you need to install the stock recovery first.

Thanks for the quick response.
I've gotten further than where I was about an hour ago.
I realized when I flashed the stock recovery for BM_001, it was an older version (mismatched my ROM).
I flashed the the stock recovery version of my stock ROM, and I was able to get KIT KAT.
Now, it's doing a 2nd OTA update to get SENSE 6.
Will post update as soon as it's done. Hopefully it's successful.
