Which Ruu?

Quick question and I'll probably get flamed for this...
Can someone point me to the correct Ruu to reset my phone and still be able to root it/install DamageR_finish rom?
I can't boot in to the device. All I get is the Black HTC logo screen. I CAN boot in to recovery.
Thanks!

Are you rooted? Use recovery to wipe the phone and flash whatever you want.

I've wiped everything several times, tried a Nandroid back up, and a few different Roms.
Still just seeing black HTC logo.

Never mind, I managed to Ruu.
I had to run the ruu once, it would fail out and restart the phone, then I ran the ruu again without unplugging and the PC picked up the connection.

[Q] Flashed wrong CWM before trying to flash new kernel.

I tried to flash the boot image for my first custom rom using easy kernel flasher, and my Vivid is now stuck at the white HTC screen. I then realized that I had used rom manager to flash CWM, even though I had already flashed the custom CWM from the superguide. Is this what caused my phone to hang at the HTC screen?
Is it safe to pull my battery? What is the next step, repeat step 2 from the superguide and then reflash the new kernel and rom?
I apologize if this has already been answered, I just haven't seen this exact question elsewhere and I don't want to pull my battery without being sure that I won't brick my phone or make my problem worse.

Rom manager does not work for our phones. That is why your phone is stuck. I remember another post like this. The guy pulled the battery and flashed the new cwm image without rom manager and it worked. I believe you would start at step two to correct your issue. Let us know how it goes for you.

Ok I pulled the battery and put it back in and now it won't boot at all. The power light flashes orange and then nothing happens. I'm getting a bit more worried about this now.

Alright, so I just did the same exact thing you did... updated CWM from ROM manager and tried to backup the ROM, hung at HTC screen. I haven't gone through the steps to reverting my CWM yet but I did get it to boot. Pull the battery, put it back, boot into HBOOT and let it do its thing, go to fastboot and then reboot. Give it a minute. Mine came back, set for a while at the boot image but it came back.
I just did the whole thing again but with out the HBOOT process and it worked too. Didn't take nearly as long as before at the boot image. Try both or see if you can't get to recovery from HBOOT. I'm pretty new to the Vivid since this is my wifes phone and its a lot different from my Inspire, the process of everything that is
Now reading your 1st post again, I didn't do the exact thing you did but close...

I tried again and it went in to h-boot, and i was able to reinstall the custom vivid CWM. But now I'm not sure if the kernel flash which started all this worked. Is there a way to find out while in recovery?
Should I reboot the phone now, or just flash the rom I was planning on flashing originally? Or should i try to return everything to stock and start all over?

Thanks man. I got into recovery and fixed the CWM problem, but now I'm not sure what kernel I have running so I don't know if its safe to reboot.

Though I know how to use CWM I couldn't tell you how to check your kernel and whatnot from there. Best thing I can think of, or what I'd do, would be to wipe everything out and restore a nandroid, granted if you have one I've never really messed with kernels untill now so I don't even know if that would work

I realized I could just reflash the kernel while I was in recovery. It hung at the htc screen on the reboot like before, but i just pulled the battery, went back into recovery, flashed the rom, and now everything is working perfectly with the new rom. What a relief.
I think the original kernel flash may have actually worked, and I just freaked out when it hung at the htc screen and assumed it was because of the rom manager/cwm thing. It may have been fine all along.

Here is something that will help with flashing kernels.

ok i did the same thing awhile ago, i flashed new CWM then insatlled rom ...the Kernal did load thats the reason you got the white screen ..so just go ahead and load your rom you should be fine

New ROM Gone Wrong!

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

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.

Thanks again for the help guys, went to phones 4 u this afternoon and he exchanged the device for me.

[Q] HELP bootloop/erased recovery

So here is the situation, i am S-off unlocked all the good stuff. Flashed venom 3.1.0 RC2, was working great. The i wen into Venom tweaks and saw it had three kernels listed i could install. DLd ExperimentalX .6x. installed perfect not a hitch. Then the phone boots up. No signal what so ever. X over the bars. Then it restarts. Boots up, no signal at all, rinse and repeat. If i try to boot into recovery to re flash the rom to give it its stock kernel it goes to the boot-loader instead. No recovery possible whatsoever. When i try to do fast-boot, it says waiting for device. I am stuck any help much much appreciated.

You have it set on fastboot usb on phone and have fastboot set up on pc?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

That is correct. I have the htc sync installed and fastboot ready to go. Its been used in the past so i dont know why it is causing such a problem now

This is exactly what happened to me, Sam Rom and everything. Please any help would be amazing.

I'm having the same issue with the Bulletproof kernel
EDIT: I flashed twrp again from fastboot, erased cache, rebooted, then rebooted into recovery. I did a wipe then restored back to my stock rom. Seems like the Kernel install erased my recovery? I've got the stock ROM back but the phone continues to reboot every few minutes and won't pick up service... Any help would be appreciated
(disclaimer: I am not well educated on this stuff – just getting started – so what I did may be totally wrong)

[Q] Stuck in Fastboot with no recovery

Ok racked my brain on this and tried everything, need advice now. I'm stuck in fastboot. There is no recovery, and I'm not even sure there is an OS Because I can't get past this screen. Tried a factory reset and nothing...everything else options wise on this screen and nothing. Been working on this for four hours now and just want to get it to boot up. Any help?

It seems that your partitions were wiped, since the bootloader cannot get the radio version. You might need to flash a stock rom.

Stock Rom
How can I flash a stock rom when I can't even access recovery to do so?

If you are up for it, you can unlock you bootloader, flash a custom recovery and then flash the stock rom in the development section

Do you have a link for the most useful thread?

Unfortunately the problem here is that your radio partition has been wiped out. It would be better that you take it to a service centre. You won't be able to flash the radio by unlocking your bootloader

don't mess about with the phone, send it to HTC they'll fix it for free.
when the fault its created by the phone itself they will fix it.
