Was installing android revolution 10.0 and when it finished it wen't back to CWM. It said something about maybe loosing root and I accidentally backed out and it tried rebooting. Now its stuck in some sort of bootloop and it tries to boot into ROM but it turns off and then trys to boot reecovery. the screen flashes CWM for a second but then it turns off again and trys to boot. I can get to Hboot and selecting recovery there makes the same thing happen.

This worked. Should I try flashing ARHD again? its the only ROM on my SD card. Or should I be able to boot in to my current ARHD ROM that I tried installing before this happened?
Also at the bottom of CWM i get can't mount /cache/recovery/command and a few other can't mount log and can't open logo. before your solution I reflashed CWM using fastboot. Don't know if thoes things will cause an issue

I was on trickdroid before. I think it had to do with me rebooting and not selecting the fix root option.
reflashed and aroma got stuckk after installing. just did adb reboot and seeing whats happening next. wish me luck. :x
Let your phone cool down before trying aroma again but mine froze at 100% twice. First time got stuck at boot animation. second time it booted but it stayed at boot animation for a while

Well I flashed it and it got stuck at boot animation for about 20 minutes. Flashed it once more and it did what it did the first time. I noticed that aroma completely crashes before finishing and thats how it all started the first time. It goes back to recovery. So just flashed it again right now and got it to completely go through. Back to HTC One screen though. Gonna see if it boots or not.
Still at boot screen for a long time. :x

You remember how you had to do fastboot to unlock bootloader? go to that folder where you have your adb files and what not, then you need to Shift + right click while in the white space of that folder and click "open command window here." With your device connected in the command window just type "fastboot erase cache" and that'll work.
If you never had to unlock bootloader you probably had to do this already to install a recovery.
BTW Still stuck at HTC One screen. Might try flashing trickdroid 5.6 from my computer if thats possible... And as a last resort wipe data and install if that doesn't work.

Does anyone know how i'd be able to do this using a mac?
edit: Nvm, i got it. Trying to reflash the rom now. Thanks for the help!
Just decided to wipe SD card and try ARHD again. Man I should have never tried to flash a 4.2.2 ROM yet.
No idea how to do it on Mac. Look up how to use fastboot on Mac
I got it to install correctly after erasing the cache. The first reboot took like 3-4 mins but it finally went through and it's working perfect now. Not sure what happened the first time

Lucky you. Im still trying to get this to work. I stay on boot screen for 20 minutes and for the 10th time im trying to flash ARHD but it keeps getting stuck. This is ridiculous.
finally I got it to boot up. Had to wipe my phone though for it to work. Lost a lot of stuff. :/
Okay so basically yesterday I got my lovely spanking HTC ONE (m7) and quickly proceeded to downloading the One_All-In-One_Kit, uncloked the bootloader and rooted the phone successfully.
I then proceeded to download ARHD and flash it accordingly, everything went swimmingly, the ROM installed via Aroma as it should, yep all nice and dandy. NO! After the installation, I rebooted, get to the HTC bootscreen, I'm presented with a nice new red message at the bottom and then the phone restarts itself, tries to enter recovery, that doesn't work, then it tries booting up again and does the same thing over and over.
I've flashed the ROM several times and get the same thing each time. I've tried RGUI and get the same sort of thing with that only with RGUI the phone doesn't try rebooting into recovery it just stays on the HTC bootscreen.
I'm desperate for help on this so please, if anyone has any insight it would be highly appreciated.
I hope you're not also flashing any of the custom kernels on here....cos they're not compatible with 4.2.2
Nope not flashing anything else but the ROM itself..
after flashing did you try "fastboot erase cache" ?
sometimes that helps when phones get stuck on the HTC logo after a rom flash.
Use the toolkit to erase cache
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yeah done that several times too. Can't seem to work out why it isn't working and I too can't find the correct RUU for my device meaning I can't even take it back to stock
try to hold power + volume down to get into the bootloader to get back into recovery. Once in recovery factory reset, erase cache, erase dalvik, and reflash the rom.
also download the andorid SDK for fastboot and adb, then try "adb reboot bootloader" if you can not get back into the bootloader to get into recovery
My friend had his do this loop as well, we had trouble getting it into recovery, but held the button combo of power and vol down several times (probably 10) and it FINALLY booted into the custom Clockwork recovery, then we reflashed and it worked like a charm.
Also try redownloading... it could be a bad download

Just a word of advice. Update your profile to say your country and carrier. It helps people identify which device model and carrier you use.
Thanks for the help so far guys, basically I can get into recovery, that's not the problem, the problem is the phone gets stuck on the HTC screen after the ROM has been installed. I'll try downloading the ROM again when I can, in the hope that it is just a bad download. Hopefully this is the case and re-flashing a newly downloaded ROM will solve all my issues.
I'll post back with the result as and when I can.

I would be restoring my nandroid backup and make sure the phones that way first and then start again
Thanks again for the help guys, went to phones 4 u this afternoon and he exchanged the device for me.
So I started having trouble after flashing a rom. The old infinite htc boot logo. The troubling part was when I tried to reboot to recovery and TWRP blackscreened and device turned off.
I tried re-flashing recovery.img with identical results.
Now my phone locked while attempting a fastboot flash boot.img with a known working boot.img just in case the rom I flashed had a corrupt boot image.
I left the cmd window open and its been "sending boot.img" for about forty-five minutes now. I am terrified to ctrl+c the command or restart my device.
So boned or no boned?
On a scale of one to boned how boned where do I fall on the bonage spectrum?
Any ideas on what to do next, or if rebooting to fastboot is safe?
You have to wait the final of the sending.
Probably your USB cable is *****d up, and i'm advising you because i had the same issue.
A flash of a boot.img was of 15 mins.
Tried fastboot erase cache to get back into twrp?
----------------------o('_')o----------------------
Sent from an HTC One with using xda app:
TrickDroid ROM 9.1.0
Bulletproof 4.3
Afraid to stop the current fastboot operation to try to clear cache. Tried running from another window and it just sits there, cursor blinking, like its waiting for the other operation to complete.
Waiting for it to complete seems fruitless as its been almost two hours now for a 5836kb flash.
-update-
Okay so I took a couple valium and quickly switched out the usb cable. The cmd window running the flash operation crashed, but fastboot on the device became responsive again. I feel like this is a fact that might be useful to others in the future.
Fastboot stalls out--don't panic, just disconnect the usb cable...
I'm still scared to reboot it, even to reboot to fastboot. Is fastboot part of boot.img? If this botched op boned up my boot.img is it possible that fastboot might not work after a reset?
Gonna give cache erase a shot and report results.
Cache erase worked fine.
Is there anything else I can do to minimize risk before rebooting to recovery? Anything important that -needs- to be done?

After the cache's erase you can boot in recovery.

So, reflash the latest TWRP (2.0.6.1), do an erase cache and retry.
Yeah, I tried that before posting but for sake of thoroughness I did it again.
erased cache
reflashed m7 twrp

Going to try CWM now.
Really appreciate the guidance and support in a problem you have no personal stake in. Being on the receiving end of the goodwill of strangers makes me all warm and tingly.
Also switched USB cables and did a fastboot reboot to make sure commands were being passed on... nothing wrong on that front.

Aaaand CWM worked for whatever reason.
Odd, since I've never had a problem with TWRP before but plenty with CWM... Every duck has its day I guess.
---
Well... CWM loads properly but executing any command that touches phone data causes a reboot.
Factory reset -> reboot
Install zip from sdcard -> reboot
Trying sideload next... it goes into sideload mode fine. I'm guessing that as soon as it tries to write something it will reboot, but I'll have to wait till I've re-downloaded and double checked md5s like a paranoid bastard first.
adb sideload ohdeargod.zip
---
Hmm, wiping cache partition alone works.
--
Noticed that on booting into CWM it displays the message:
Warning: No file contexts.
--
formating /system alone works
formatting dalvik causes reboot
formatting data causes reboot
--
sideload seems to have worked although its taking a long time to boot. I'll give it another 15 minutes.

Okay so I have a brand new HTC TMO One I got last week and its waterlogged. I drilled a hole in the back of the case to drain it and then left it on the radiator to make sure all that moisture is gone. I can't get it to post to TWRP.
Please help.
Deciding after recent events that XDA can be a dangerous place for sarcasm. So--thanks all, problem solved, no, no phone was damaged during the making of this thread. It was just my business partner, Lloyd, who fell in and became waterlogged. No amount of drilling or radiator baking could revive him.
Please help.
So I recently decided to flash a rom based on the newest android m preview. Everything flashed fine, no errors, no 'failed' messages. However, when I try to reboot my phone it immediately sends me to the boot loader with a Boot Failed message. Furthermore, at the top of the log it says "fastboot fall through from normal boot mode". I have never experienced this code before and could not find an answer on the forums. I was really hoping I could get a solution as this is my primary phone.
Thanks guys.

Did you flash the M bootloader?
Yep. Boot loader and radio. My guess is something wonky happened with the damn toolkit. Probably what I get for being lazy. I'm gonna try manually reflashing all of it via adb and see how it goes.

Not ADB. Fastboot flash while in bootloader.
Yeah, fastboot. My bad. I actually just got done with attempt # god knows how many and so far no luck. I still get the same messages on reboot.
Hey everyone,
I've rooted my Nexus 6 device and tried to modify some of the partitions on the device (logo, aboot, boot).
The device has gone bricked but as that's not the first time it is done I guessed it's a soft brick and can easily be fixed downloading a factory ROM for the Nexus.
I did that, and both Marshmallow and Lollipop were stuck on boot (the colored circles which eventually form the "Android" title).
I also tried custom ROMs, but nothing helped (got to the same point were the colored circles jump infinitely).
I tried to flash the ROM both via fastboot and via the recovery menu.
The bootloader is accessible and unlocked. However, it still doesn't work.
Before I rush to JTAG experiments, does anyone have any idea how to solve this? (or at least, some ideas which aren't mentioned above).
Needless to say, I was wiping the cache everytime I flashed the ROMs.
Sincerely,
Adam.

Did you also first reflash the bootloader when flashing stock firmware? Also fastboot ersae system and fastboot format cache before flashing anything.

Yes, I also reflashed the bootloader. The room itself comes with a "flash-all.sh" script which did not work as well.
I also tried to fastboo erase system and fastboot format cache (both with the recovery feature and the fastboot feature) but it did not work....
Same outcome - waiting on the colored circles.

Just tried this order. I've been waiting up for 40+ minutes for the phone to boot, however it still loops on these circles.
If it matters - I just tried the 6.0.1 ROM (I've been working on 6.0.0 previously).

Your best bet is to run a logcat as it is booting to see where it is hanging. Your issue was messing with the partitions. Not a wise thing to do.

Already thought about that - however adb keeps waiting for a device and shows nothing...
Code:
*adamdo**~**shamu-mmb29k**adb logcat
- waiting for device -
