[Q] Cyanogenmod boot loop - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently tried to install CyanogenMod 10.1 on my HTC One. I've rooted the device, which was pretty simple. Then i followed these instructions:
Step 1: Download the CM 10.1 Nightly for HTC One from get.cm/?device=m7 and the latest Google Apps package from here goo.im/gapps, and transfer them to the root of your HTC One’s internal storage.
Step 2: Boot your HTC One into recovery mode by pressing Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously .
Step 3: In CWM recovery, select Install ZIP from SD card, followed by choose ZIP from SD card, and flash the CM10.1 ZIP package that you downloaded above.
Step 4: Repeat the above step and flash the Google Apps ZIP file.
Step 5: Now, after having flashed both packages, select wipe data/factory reset in recovery.
Step 6: Reboot the device
I forgot to "select woe data/factory reset", and to flash the gapps, but i could just download them in rommanager... And then i should be running android 4.2.2, but there is a boot loop, now i have waited all night, but it still shows the cyanogenmod boot animation. i have all the required files on my pc, but my backup on my phone isn't there anymore. Please help me, i'm very new at this, and i'm only 14 years old. I spent about 850$ on this phone (i live in Denmark) so if my phone is "broke" then i'm screwed. As i said, im pretty new at this, so i need step by step instructions.

Just follow CM instructions.
You really need to wipe/reset the user data and the caches, otherwise there will be trouble. I accidently forgot to wipe and it took a day and a night for the phone to discharge so I could properly install. Just follow the direction exactly.

Longpress power button.
Reboot in fastboot and try to flash the boot.img (you can found it in the zip of rom), and flash it from fastboot with the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After flash, type:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Now, reboot your device with
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now it should work..

Never mind, i figured it out and it is great.

New to Android (coming from the iOS World) with my beloved HTC One.
Just wanted to get ride of all the HTC bloatware and decided to go to CM.
I rooted the phone easily but I failed to flash it with CM10, took me a while to get there with google search, you guys saved my ass big time, thanks for all your contributions.
:highfive:

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 (Stable) on HTC One 4.3

Hello everyone!
This is my first time posting on these forums.
I been looking on Youtube and searching on Google for a step-by-step guide on how to install Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 on my HTC One 4.3. I know the basics on rooting but I haven't done it on my HTC One since I bought it. I would like to know if someone has a video or guide that shows how to do this as I mentioned before step-by-step.
I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thank you all!
Jorge
Google "how to root HTC one qbking77". This is a quick overview of what he says to do.
1) unlock bootloader via HTC Dev
2) flash twrp or cwm via fastboot
3) copy superuser onto phone
4) boot into recovery by holding vol down 5) flash super user
6) reboot- you are now rooted
7) move desired cm ROM from get.cm onto phone
8) move appropriate gapps from goo.im into phone
9) boot into recovery, (you will want to do a backup at this point) wipe system, cache, and i believe data/media (factory reset in TWRP), flash ROM, then flash gaps and reboot! Done!
10) optional - s off via rumrunner and hide all traces of modding
There maybe a few errors here, but this is the general outline of what you'll need to do.

[Q] Stuck on Htc Logo cannot reboot

Hello all,
After following a few possibly outdated threads I was following this tutorial I found using google search (probably should have checked around for the all in one toolkit first):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
Since I looked at a bunch of ROM reviews I thought I'd try SlimRoms. So as per the suggestions under step 3, I skipped to step 4. I then followed the SlimRom instructions. I flashed Gapps successfully, but got a failed message when trying to flash the ROM. So I thought I'd just go to step 3 again. At this point I tried to reboot and got the following message
"Your device does not appear to be rooted. Install SuperSU now?..."
I choose to install and that's when my problem started. I was stuck at the htc loading screen. The following thread seemed like it would help, but since I installed the TWRP recovery 'm not sure where to find where to erase the cache and side load ROM for one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280230
I may have a learned a lesson, but still don't want to give up on taking a stab at having a rooted phone. I'd like to get better at it, so thanks for any and all advice.
Also sorry if the question sounds a little incoherent, I'm kinda tired and frustrated at the moment.

- Download latest TWRP recovery put in your adb/fastboot folder and boot into Recovery

Thanks much man. I tried this but kept getting this error in trying to wipe dalvik and cache. So after several different attempts (rebooting, recovery, etc.) I decided to just format data. I then used the adb sideload feature in TWRP to try putting the zips back onto the sd card. Several frustrating failed attempts due to CP continuously telling me device not found. Finally, after making sure not to let my phone rest, I was able to get both on and then rebooted in TWRP. Ta da! I finally got past the HTC Logo screen and saw the sweet SlimKat logo. Now I'm just waiting for it to connect to service.
I never thought I'd be able to comprehend all this as I just started learning today, but thanks to you folks at XDA I'm (hopefully) starting to benefit. Hope to keep learning from you all. Thanks again.

[Q] [XT1072] Recovery black screen

Hey guys, I'm having a weird little problem here.
So I followed this guide here, unlocked my bootloader, everything fine.
So far so good. I flashed the mentioned TWRP Recovery through fastboot, no error messages, still looks like everything's fine.
But whenever I try to get from the fastboot screen on my phone into recovery mode, the screen stays black.
I tried restoring to stock, hoping that would add the original recovery back in. Nope, still black screen.
After that, I successfully flashed the recovery from this thread. Again, no error messages and everything looked fine. But still no luck. My recovery screen stays black for whatever reason.
I'm on Windows 8.1 64Bit and using the current Android SDK. The SDK setup had a little problem with finding Java JDK (64Bit) before I could set it up properly. But I solved that one by adding a system variable. Again, nothing out of the ordinary here, at least as far as I understand.
So what am I doing wrong?
I'd really like to get a custom rom with root on this baby. Don't wanna be stuck on stock. :/
Does anybody have an idea, how I could manage to access any kind of recovery in this case?
If the screen stay black then something went wrong
Fastboot gave you the OKAY on flashing ? Did you reboot your phone after you flashed the recovery ?
You don't have to, if you reboot you will have the stock one again = black screen.
Try like i did (assuming you correctly unlocked the bootloader, and installed MotorolaDeviceManager).
1) Get the right recovery for XT1072 from the author's post HERE.
2) Download the latest CM rom from HERE and latest CM gapps package from HERE.
3)Move the CM rom and the gapps zips on the SD or EMMC then reboot to bootloader.
4)Flash the recovery whit "fastboot flash recovery twrp-thea.img" and check if you got the OKEY from fastboot (DO NOT REBOOT YET).
5)Now pick up your phone and use VOL-DOWN to highlight RECOVERY then VOL-UP to start the recovery.
6)You should have the TWRP menu open now, go WIPE -> ADVANCED WIPE and check Dalvik/Data/Cache/System then swipe to wipe those 4 partitions.
7)Go back to main menu and select install, flash the CM12.1 zip then gapps zip and now you can reboot, first boot take a while so don't panic.
P.S.
I uploaded for you the latest untouched platform-tools folder (rev22) for windows if you wish to try this one, LINK, VirusTotal scan.

Can't install TWRP on S3 mini (GT-i8190N)

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod following techbeasts.com tutorial but I'm stuck at the first step : installingTWRP (or CWM).
I followed precisely all the instructions (I allow debugging mode, I installed samsung drivers, I start the phone in download mode, I connect it with OEM cable, I start Odin, it sees the phone, I select the tar.md5 file.), Odin confirms it went well (green box writing "PASS"), but when I try to boot the recovery mode by holding Volume up + Home + Power it seems to boot another recovery software that doesn't offer a backup or a flashing options: "Android system recovery <3e>"
Can't get it to run TWRP or CWM... Can't install the supersu package.
What I'm I doing wrong? Can someone help?
Try to untick Auto Reboot option from odin. I had similiar issues and reason was if you have updated your phone with OTA-updates then it installs some kind of backup script. When your phone boots again after you had installed twrp it installs stock recovery during boot. So untick autoreboot, flash twrp and force boot straight to recovery without letting phone boot to OS. You can also try to pull battery out, put it back and then boot into recovery mode.
Sorry my english and try to understand.

Great it worked, thanks a lot !
But now I'm stuck on the next step : flashing CM11
I rooted my phone, booted TWRP, chose "install>cm11" (the zip downloaded from nova fusion) but it says "failed" after a few sec...
I would post my TWRP log but the forum prevents me doing so...
Well I get few things that you could check first.
1. Do factory reset for example from twrp. Factory reset is needed/recommended before installing custom rom from offical OS.
2. Sometimes just installing fails almost immediately if you have ticked check zip signature.
After you have installed new rom clear cache and davilk cache just in case. I'll do that every time if I install or update custom roms. Also don't forget to install right gapps package after you have installed rom.
Sorry my english and try to understand.
ok just realized i downloaded the wrong cm image (the odin one, not the recovery)
everything running smooth now
Okay happy to hear that everything is fine now. Happy playing with custom roms

need help, mucked up during installing cm11

I have a Sony Xperia Z1 and I have had cyanogenmod12.1 on my device for a little while now, but there are a couple of bugs and I wanted to go back to cyanogenmod11, so I downloaded the cm11 zip file onto my device and copyed it to the sd card,I then downloaded TWRP manager because the cyanogenmod recvoary does not have a zip file or flash part in the recovary, so I followed the procedures and then I flashed TWRP recovary. Once I got into the TWRP recovary I found the zip file for cm11 I then clicked flash. Not long later it said succesfull and then i had to reboot, i clicked reboot and this is where it whet wrong. My device then went into a bootloop because I left my device for 10mins. I then tried to access the custom recovary but it just came up with the sony logo and no custom recovary has come up since.

Hello,
I have reported this thread to be moved to the right Q&A so that experts there maybe able to help.

If you made a backup, flash dual recovery then restore the backup?
Otherwise flash stock and start again
The only solution is to flash your firmware and start from zero point
Since you said there is bootloop and no recovery
Or you can flash twrp img file through fastboot mode
But for safety flash is best
You do not need to do a fresh flash. Doing so without deselected some things might wipe data like photos.
1. If you don't already have the fastboot and ADB drivers, get them here
2. Download a kernel with recovery and extract the boot.img
3. Open up command prompt in the folder the boot.img is in
4. Make sure your device is turned off completely
5. Hold volume down while attaching it to your computer
6a. If you just want to have temporary acces to recovery type in this code:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
6b. If you want to keep acces and use the recovery after rebooting type in this code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. Enter recovery the way you would normally do, backup your important files and/or flash the new rom and kernel you would like to use
