Won't load ROMs, stock or custom [Sprint] - Sprint HTC One (M7)

When I was still running stock, I was able to successfully unlock my bootloader, put custom recovery, and root my phone with superSU.
My troubles arose when I tried to flash Android Revolution HD.
When my phone boots, it would just go into bootloader mode. Would not boot past that, no matter what.
Since then, I've tried reverting to stock with RUU (failed), stock ROMs (won't go past HTC screen), Viper (Only have a status bar), and a handful of other ROMs.
I'm successfully sideloading these ROMs and installing them.. but they remain unfunctional. Please help, I've been at it for 3 days.

Ruu. The latest Android Revolution does nit support Sprint and you probably mucked your partitions all up. Be glad it doesnt completely decimate your phone like every other device wouldve. Ruu and start from scratch. This time READ TO SEE IF YOUR VARIANT IS SUPPORTED.

How would I go about fixing the partitions? I did the RUU mulitple times, and it would just fail. Could you please link me to a RUU that you know works?

Yes i can. But nothing else :/
Try re flashing the recovery. Find the file somewhere and in fast boot usb in the bootloader flash it with a command prompt. You can find more precise instructions around the forums, but if you can get into recovery you can flash another ROM and should be okay from there. I had a bunch of problems with holics too.
Edit: you might be semi-screwed though. If you can't get it usable through re flashing the recovery you might have to re-lock the bootloader and run an RUU.

I believe i tried to do that. I tried Clockwork recovery and also some i had laying around my computer. I actually re-locked the bootloader then unlocked it again. Im not quite sure what the RUU is, maybe I'm just spacing it out. Anyways, I'm sure somewhere I've miss stepped and could have fixed it. I don't care if i lose data, id just like to use my phone again
Try flashing wcx's recovery. CWM gave me nothing but problems.
The RUU is the factory image that the phone shops with. Just google "xda forums vivid RUU" and you should be able to find it from there. Just follow he instructions in the post and that'll return you to stock. Then you can re unlock and re root from there.

At that point, no i couldnt. I just Googles the RUU and Started fresh. Unlocked the bootloader, rooted, flashed rom and now im thinking of overclocking a bit. So, case closed i guess! Thank you!
No problem. Be careful with that stuff though. Very easy to fry your phone if you're not fully aware of what you're doing.

Especially since the thermal daemon doesn't seem to work on these phones, or at least with some of the custom ROMs, so it's possible that if you overclock and overheat, the phone won't protect itself. Just something to consider.
I think if you remove the underclock (these phone come stock running at 1.2GHZ, but it's a 1.5GHZ processor! You can safely run at 1.5 all day long no sweat. I've been running it at 1.5 since day one. Things are plenty snappy at 1.5 in my opinion. YMMV.

It's mostly the handful of sensation ports floating around that have that issue IIRC. The ones based off of the holiday framework are usually okay.
Is there something specific you've gotta do to remove the underclock or is it just setting the kernel to what you want it in the setup?
And yeah, at 1.5 this phone is an absolute beast.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
I am pretty sure there are changes in the kernal code that need to be made to allow you to set the CPU speed. I believe the min-max limits are established in the kernel code, and then the running freq is determined by config file(s).
That's why with some kernels you are stuck with one freq, while others are variable between different ranges. I think the kangbang kernel is 2.0GHZ, while some others are 1.8 or 1.7.
It would make sense for the thermald problem to only be happens on Sensation ports, as the thermald.conf still has a note in it about being from the sensation (and modded by good ol' mike1986 himself). I think the problem must extend past the conf file though, because the only difference is in thermal thresholds (mike's version allows the phone to run a bit hotter).
I gotta remember one of these days to replace the thermald exe with the one from the stock rom and see if it will then work...
When it's not working, it constantly polls and poops junk out to the log, and eats up battery like it's going out of style.

Hi, I have the same problems now as you had a few posts ago. I am using Hassoon's AIO toolkit but I am unable to boot into recovery, it starts looping and glances at recovery screen then loops. How exactly did you get to flashing your new ROM and what one did you use?
I am badly wanting to have wifi hotspot.
Thanks in advance

Fastboot erase cache command should fix your problem. After that you should be able to boot into recovery after flashing a new recovery.

Messed Phone Up Question About T-Mobile

I messed my phone up tonight and got it stuck in a bootloop since there is currently no RUU out I'm left with no choice but to go back to the store. Does anyone know if T-Mobile stores have the stock RUU and can restore it?

If your problem is transferring files, can you not go to recovery and use usb-ms (while attached to the computer) which will then open the memory of the phone on the computer. That's what I did to transfer stock ruu when I recently bricked my evo 4g.

I'm currently in the process of trying to push a nandroid backup to the device via adb. The problem is that there's no stock ruu for tmobile as of yet so the only choice I have is to recover via a nandroid.

no success at all, I'm gonna head to the tmobile store here in a few and see what I can get worked out
I just came back from the bell store, and they said that they could exchange me for a new one but they don't have any in stock until Tuesday.
I soft bricked my nexus devices dozen times in the past few years, and was easily restored to stock. Lesson learned by me, never root a non nexus device within 1 week of its release.

Why even bother? Just push a ROM, wipe system and data, then flash it.
You don't need a ruu. What did you do to get into a bootloop.

dont know how you did that. ive flashed every rom i could for this device to problem recovering from bootloops
I managed to fixed mine finally, Installed twrp and mounted my USB via otg. Then flashed a custom ROM, rebootef,still suck at the boot screen. Flashed a custom kernel, and it finally got passed the boot screen.
So happy to get my One back up and running again.

[Q] Having Trouble with HTC One S-Off

Okay, so before i go ahead and post this, I'm well aware of where i should be posting it, but i'm apparently a new member and therefore cannot post in the HTC One Development section.
I'm using the T-Mobile HTC One (M7_ul) and i wanted to convert into the Google Play Edition. I took the OTA update from t-mobile that bumped me up to 1.27.531.11, and it took me about an hour to realize that t-mobile decided to block all ways to s-off with that update, and that i would somehow have to get back to .8. My bootloader is unlocked, with TWRP 2.5.0.0. and root. I flashed the Stock Sense 5 1.27.531.8 rom (although rather buggy, i keep getting errors with the phone program abruptly stopping, but its not an issue seeing as im not staying with this rom). Im under the assumption that if i did that, as long as my hboot was still 1.44, i'd be able to use Moonshine or revone to s-off. I tried both, and neither of them were a go. I keep getting an Error-2 with revone, and moonshine gets to Moonshining (10) and then says Error: dont drink and shine. Now i'm not a complete noob when it comes to unlocking and rooting HTC devices, but ive never decided to take that extra step to s-off. everytime i think i have it right, moonshine and revone give me errors. would someone please tell me what im doing wrong, or at least point me in the right direction? please?
Your phone was updated to .11 it's more than just the Rom that was updated, you just gotta wait. I do too my phone came with .11.

I see. so if i'm understanding you correctly, I can't just flash the .8 rom and do s-off, T-Mobile patched it and im screwed?
Yeah that's it, I've read that one person has got it to work but idk if they actually took the ota or not. There would be a workaround if we had an RUU for .7 or .8 but we don't. So I guess we just gotta wait for someone to figure something out.

You could use HTC dev unlock until then though, just reset everything when s-off does come? That's what I've done and I'll just use s-off to make it look like nothing when (hopefully) it comes around again

I'm unlocked already, I'd just really rather convert completely to the GPE using the mid/cid change method, so if HTC decides to upgrade the One to KLP when its released, I won't have to go back to stock Sense 5 to get the OTA

ask (in the thread not via pm)the author of that guide if flasking a firmware package + stock rom would do and what other steps you would need to take
you can find the firmware packages here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355814
It says in the op that the firmware zips are unsigned, which means I would have to be S-off to flash them.

so updating all you fellas, no method i tried worked I managed to find a stable rom for 1.27.531.7. my thought process was to flash to .7, unroot, reflash stock recovery, relock the bootloader, and try to install the .8 OTA. Didnt work. I tried to bypass, got the OTA .zip from my storage, rebootRUU and flash the OTA firmware. Didnt work either. The progress bar hung at about 75%(i tried this 6 times, same result). so i unlocked the bootloader again, reflashed twrp 2.5.0.0 and had planned on just restoring the nan i made. I didnt realize that when you flash a RUU, even if it doesnt finish, it still formats your /sd/data, so backup was gone, by this point i had already done the wipe expecting it to be there, so through all this, i ended up stuck in twrp with no OS, and for some reason the ADB sideload feature didnt work so i couldnt push a .zip to the phone. after an hour and a half of frantically searching, i just decided to run the .11 official RUU, so after 14 hours, im back to where i started. Wayyyyy more trouble than its worth. just gonna flash a stock rooted 4.3 GPE rom, and when HTC and T-Mobile decide to stop screwing around and push the 4.2.2 update, ill just reflash the RUU.
Thanks for all the help, gents.

Dude, you were doing some serious stuff to your phone, you have to slow down a little. I recommend reading as much as you can before you attempt anything you just did. The reason I am saying this is that, when flashing firmware, the progress bar always sticks at about 75%, that is normal, then you reboot and it finishes the install. You probably got that firmware from the OTA you're talking about installed and didn't know it.

[Q] stuck in bootloop

while trying to get a recovery to work with no avail, i wiped cache and did a factory reset and now i am in a boot loop. wish i could remove the freaking battery. just got my phone today and the first thing i did was updated to sense 4.3. I then unlocked the bootloader successfully. I started having problems with flashing a recovery even though the bootloader said unlocked and tampered. twrp would not boot, but i got cwm to boot. the problem on cwm was i didnt have access to all the folders like the downloads folder that had the su zip. I did have avast already installed while i was trying to root(going to activate antitheft once rooted) i thought avast might be the problem so i uninstalled went back into recovery wiped cache and did a factory reset hoping cwm would access the folder i need nope. so i was calling it a night and booted up the phone and now it is STUCK. It was easier rooting my evo 3d with brick method. PLEASE HELP ASAP

The only thought is you may have wrong recovery. I would suggest to run ruu for ATT if you can or Soff and then do it
I ran the ruu for at&t already. Domt get me wrong the phone works great i just wanna update it
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Then that's odd issue. Your other options will be to install custom recovery and sideload or manually install OTA file.
