Okay here it goes.....
I am not new by any means. I know how to use adb and fastboot
Last night i had ARHD 11 and I wanted to go back to ViperOne. I had been restoring backups of both all day. When I got home, I dowloaded the ViperOne Rom again (not restoring recovery ) to reflash after a factory reset. I hit factory reset, flashed viper, and as soon as it rebooted I went into boot loop. I tried everything to get out of boot loop whenever I tried factory reset or recovery it just boot looped. I even flashed the RUU for 2.17,401. Then I decided for the hell of it change cid to CWS__001 because its an ATT phone. That did it.... I rebooted into viper one with no issue. the only problem now is I cannot change my CID anymore. When I do it Boot loops, Is it possible that the 2.19 base in ARHD closed the CID write? I know its not firmware just a base, but I never had this problem when I was just restoring backups. Any thoughts or Ideas? I am going to try to restore my backups now, I just hope I can change my CID.
Edit: After Restoring My Backup I was able to change CID again. Just a heads up if anyone bootloops and when they enter recovery it just keeps rebooting change CID to Factory CID then restore backup.

I succesfully unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP recovery, backed up original ROM in TWRP, and installed Maximus7 3.1.0
All went through fine, but when I tried the first re-boot after my personal set up, the One powered down, then up again and got stuck on the HTC One splashscreen, only showing for a split second the start screen where you enter the PIN, then back to splashscreen.
USB is detected, I can get into bootloader and recovery but just not into the ROM.
Tried a different ROM bjut same ther, also I did a restore of the original ROM back-up which booted fine, but again not possible to re-boot but stuck with that damn splashscreen.
If anyone has some advice for me that would be really appreciated.
Can I just install the stock recovery and re-lock the bootloader? How do I go about that to get back to stock?
Thank you cvery much for your respone.

Did you wipe everything in recovery? /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik cache?
Look up "proper flashing procedure xda" on google if you're stuck
Hi All,
I have the VZW DE and was having trouble deleting files when connecting my phone to Ubuntu (when I tried to delete a file, my phone would reboot). I figured I corrupted some files and had a nandroid backup from a few days ago. So I rebooted into TWRP and did a restore of the backup (system, data, and boot). But now when I reboot, my phone is stuck in a boot loop on the bootloader unlock screen. It will stay on for about 30 seconds, the phone will power down and then back to the bootloader unlock screen . I have no choice but to go back into TWRP.
I tried all that I could, I wiped then restored, same thing. I even had a back up from a few weeks ago but same results. Strange thing is, every time I go back into TWRP and click the Mount button, System mount is always unchecked even when I check it and reboot (same thing happens, stuck on bootloader unlock screen and will have to go back into TWRP)
Any ideas whats happening? I thought the restore would work perfectly but has completely stopped me from getting back on my phone.
Thanks guys!

what FW are you on? what twrp version are you using? did you try wiping cache and dalvik before and after restoring your back up?

Sorry about the delay. Thanks for your response jay!
If by FW you mean firmware, I'm on Verizon's 139.15.1_ghost. I just recently flashed twrp version 2.6.3.1 to prep for 4.4 and it flashed successfully. I wiped cache and dalvik before and after (always like to be on the safe side haha).
I tried a few other methods, like wiping the system and restoring, and wiping system, flashing the flashable zip 139.15.1 and restoring just data from the backup, etc.
I'm thinking about just RSDing my phone with the latest firmware (140.45.5_ghost) and start from scratch. Is that tool available for Linux?

thats your problem. you flashed twrp for 4.4 but you weren't on 4.4. I don't believe that twrp is backwards compatible. what you need to do is flash your old twrp back to the recovery. then restore your backup. then flash the stock recovery and system images. then take the ota. then flash the new twrp, then boot phone, say you wnat root. then create another back up of that twrp.

I tried restoring my htc one from a downloaded file online to go back to stock. Restored fine but was not able to boot, stock at htc one logo. Can access recovery but can still access fastboot. What are my options? I am S-on and unlock bootloader if that helps anything.
also i only have that one backup that i tried using, but i believe I do have some custom roms in .zip.
nvm i just did factory restore and it seemed to work
what is your CID ?
Hi all.
I tried to flash my HTC one from recovery (twrp) after doing a factory reset within twrp. (I thought at the time a had stock recovery, I didn't. I had twrp.
Now my phone won't boot. Gets stuck on splash screen. If i enter the bootloader (which works no problem) and choose recovery, it starts recovery, pops up with twrp splash screen for second, then reboots to frozen htc splash screen.
Fastboot is working.
I've tried clearing the cache using fastboot. samething
I've tried flashing other recoveries,. nothing samething. (others in different predicaments have been able to do this successfully)
I've been reading that returning back to stock using RUU.zip method is the only way to go.
I want to try that, but before I do, I must make sure I understand it correctly and I've done all I can.
Relock the bootloader? Can I unlock it again?
Find a RUU.Zip that matches my OS version
Flash using fastboot.
I've been looking through HTC1GURU at his collection of ruu.zip but can't find anything that really matches my OS.
Any suggestions and advice will be most welcome.
Thanks in advance
Phone info.....
my Original CID was....orang001

There isn't any ruu for orange (.61 base) only a nandroid backup which require a working recovery to be flashed. if you don't really care about staying with the orange sw, you could simply restore your phone to international EU version (.401 base). You already have s-off and the proper mid, so it will only require to downgrade hboot to 1.44, change cid to HTC__001 and run the 1.29.401 ruu.exe. you can use this guide
Thanks for the quick reply and the guide.
I don't care about orange sw. I'll do some reading. I do have a nandroid backup. No good to me, unless I get recovery working.
Not too confident about downgrading the Hboot, but i'll read and read.

downgrading hboot is pretty easy
just follow the steps under ''If you’re on hboot which is above 1.44'' from nkk71's guide
then change cid
then run ruu.exe
but do not use a win 8.1 computer (compatibility issue with hboot 1.44)
Thanks for that last bit, what about Win8.
I've spotted the steps that apply to me, just playing them out in my head.
Out of curiosity after a downgrade the HBoot, will it be locked and s-on?

windows 8.0 should be fine, but definitively not 8.1

Can you try fastboot erase cache from fastboot menu and re enter recovery?
Tried that, thanks

OK, a little lucky positive progress.
I managed to flash clockworkMod recovery, don't ask me how, maybe erasing the cache lots of times did it, i'm sure it was a recovery I had already tried. I checked my download list and confirmed I did download it., so i would of tried to flash it two days ago. Funny.
Still stuck on splash screen, but can boot into recovery. (clockworkmod)
Please, what is the best way to proceed, I'm thinking nandroid backup, but like I said, I couldn't care less about orange. I would love to put Mike1986 stock rom 4.3 or 4.4
I'm unable or don't know how to get folders or files on the phone's internal SD card, because it doesn't boot up a rom any more. Y-cable?
I'm concerned with all the "can't" at the bottom of recovery screen.
RESOLVED: So of course, taking 10+ minutes to type this out magically fixed the issue, huh? :silly:
What I did was I restored my backup, installed TWRP 2.7.0.1 from a download on this forum, and tried it again. Made sure to factory reset both times, etc.
I'm booted into ViperOne 5.8.0 now! Sorry for wasting anybody's time...
So, I've searched around the forums, and I haven't found anything that quite sounds like what's going on with my phone. My issue is that I get put in a boot loop after flashing ViperOne 5.8.0.
First, some info about my phone:
Unlocked (S-OFF)
CID: VZW__001
HBOOT: 1.56.0000
OS: 3.11.605.1
Steps leading to the issue:
Used rumrunner to s-off and root phone back when it came out for VZW in August.
Had CWM recovery for the longest time. Didn't update the phone since then.
The other day, I backed up my phone with CWM and then later decided to switch to TWRP (got the newest version I could find - 2.7.0.0).
I put TWRP on my phone and then tried flashing ViperOne 5.8.0 from it.
It seemed to have put me in a bootloop, so I tried a few factory resets and cache clearing, etc.
Then, I went into ViperOne's installer and installed the older version of TWRP.
At that point, I couldn't even get back into recovery, so I used fastboot to put the latest TWRP back on.
I threw out my old backup and used a RUU to get back to stock 1.10.605.1 (RUU Zip M7 WL JB 50 VZW 1.10.605.10 Decrypted) from here.
At this point, my phone was working again. I installed all of the updates through the phone to get to KitKat 4.4.2.
From here, I installed a bunch of apps I used, reacquired root (my phone still said S-OFF/Unlocked from the first ever time I did it) and performed a TWRP backup.
I decided to give ViperOne a shot again since my phone had been updated and I wasn't sure if the newer hboot or stuff like that would help.
I followed the instructions on some site that said to fastboot flash the boot.img in the zip first and then flash the zip from TWRP.
Everything seemed fine again. I factory reset BEFORE and AFTER flashing ViperOne. However, it's giving me the same issues; I'm stuck in a boot loop.
I got ViperOne from here. The ViperOne Verizon page seemed to just link there (I couldn't find a download specific to Verizon) so I'm assuming that's the right one.
If anyone could offer any suggestions on what to do? The next think I'll try is downgrading my version of TWRP I guess?
If more details are needed, please let me know. Also, sorry if this is in the wrong section?
