Had too many questions so I posted them all here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044871
First off, Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I can't post in the dev area yet.
So I got my first Sprint HTC one a couple months ago. First things first, Took it home, rooted, installed super SU and TWRP and flashed a custom rom. Everything went as smooth as silk until a few days later... My phone starts having a few minor glitches, like the screen not turning off when i use the phone, so i figure a reboot will help. I reboot the phone and it starts up fine and stays on for about 10 seconds then reboots. It boots up fully and i can access everything then black screen and reboot. It would do this infinitely until a factory reset is performed. After the reset it would be fine for a couple days up to a week or two, then BAM, reboot and the whole process starts anew. I figured it was hardware, because I tried a few different roms (viper one, Rage one,) and the problem was the same with all of them. It even did it on stock rom after running rom cleaner. I just received my replacement device from Sprint and am about to install Viper One, (awesome rom). My question is this. Is there a possibility that it was something I did when flashing these roms, or was it most likely a hardware issue?

FYI, Forum Rule #15:
15. Keep threads / posts on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
Q&A Help & Troubleshooting Forums - For all question / request threads and posts. If there is no Q&A Help & Troubleshooting forum, use the General Forum of the relevant device
Accessories Forum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the device
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For Developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to kernels, bootloaders, ROMs, etc.
Themes and Apps Forums - For the posting of Themes and / or Apps as well as announcements & discussions including modifications made to Themes and Apps.
This being a question, and not a release of any kind, it goes in the Q&A section.

Most likely a harware issue. I'm on the m7vzw, not the m7spr, so this might not apply to you: make sure your firmware and HBOOT are the proper ones for the ROM you're trying to use. But don't take my word on it, wait till someone more knowledgeable on the m7spr comes along.
What led me to believe it was hardware was the fact that it even did it on stock after running rom cleaner. That was before I ever tried a custom rom.
Since i started on this site, i could not find any list of threads, so i decided to make this. Plz Post all the good threads you find to help n00bs get what their looking for. Thank You

Closing since there are already a couple threads on this subject. Here are three great places to start:
[GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA
[New Members][Guide/Tour] Get the most out of XDA!!
Off-Topic Sticky Roll-Up Thread **Check this thread BEFORE posting**
Post questions and troubleshooting.

Not to be a hater, but if this is a Q&A thread it belongs in either the Q&A or General, not Development.
From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805891
BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM/Kernel/Device Hack/Mod, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing?... If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

Omg. Sorry. This Tapatalk app is aggravating me.
Please delete this thread.
Thread closed at OP request
and moved to Q&A where it belongs
Hi Fellow Members,
Seeing many post on the development threads in all section which are not completely relevant with the development but sometime due to normal bootloader unlock, FRP unlock, root issues, even normal discussion on OTA etc which flood the development thread sometimes and if a new users come up with any issue or any question, they need to repost as the thread is long and extending multiple pages and they could not find the solution or answer of the same in all those pages, even though answered few times but due to more number of pages or just because new users are not aware of how search works on XDA they repost the same thing.
So, I though of creating this new thread so that we can discuss all development related and little off topics related with ROM in this thread and keep the development thread clean enough so that it is purely for development related questions and really critical and important stuffs with sufficient logs etc.
Please continue discussion on any ROM, recovery, TWRP etc in this thread and lets keep the development thread clean enough.
