boot looping when I update with Viperboy 1.1.0

I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.
What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.
Will I loose all my settings and data?
Please help

Under advanced wipe select the first 4(dalvik,cache,system,data).
Then reflash the Rom.
You will lose settings.

Thanks, will try that in the morning.
Is there anyway we can save settings and restore them after upgrades?

Htcs built in backup through dropbox works very well. It restores apps, settings, homescreens. About the only two things it doesnt restore are accounts, autorotate and lockscreen password

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card

I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

I do this everytime I flash a new Rom and it doesn't wipe my internal SD...

Thanks all, I am just where I was. so many opinions and would like to have a concensus.

It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

same problem
ive had the same problem, i actually had to use the ruu to get back to stock, unlocked it again s-off rooted and no matter what i do everytime i install any custom rom it goes into bootloop. ive tried every rom on here i cant even get viperrom to fully boot up. looking thru all the forums nobody has a clear answer as to why this is happening.

im stuck in boot loop after the viper rom and i just got it yesterday .. i dont know what to do at this point . when it does boot it ask me for the wifi login and fails says poor connection when its right next to me

Boot Loop
I'm also stuck in boot loop. I've done research and tried all kinds of stuff with no luck. This is what I get...
Phone boots
I get the notification bar and a black screen
Can't do anything with that.
After about a minute, it reboots.
Can anyone help with this? I have the 1.31 version. Clearing cache/data/delvik does nothing for me.
Can someone help me get it back to stock, or at least usable?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Bricked Sprint HTCOne M7

Hi Developers,
I need your help i have been a fan of this site for some time now and have found very useful information here. now i need your help once again.
I tried to unlock the Bootloader and flashed TWRP and CWM but when i try to bring the device back up SU is not granted Root access. i tried over and ocer again.
When i try to reboot the phone Fastboot/Flash recovery/TWRP or CWM the device hands adn never comes back up.
I even tried to do a Facotry reset and start over. This also did not work.
Can you guys please guide me on truly doing a factory reset so that i can try this again?
Thank you very much for your help.

If you want to reset to out of the box stock, run the ruu.

Make sure you are in the boot loader when running ruu and you have all the proper HTC drivers. If that's not it you can try searching Google for the error.

Dude. Just boot into recovery then on phone press mount usb. On your computer in your drives you should see your phones memory. Download a rom from the sprint htc one. Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834713 Once downloaded drag zip to storage. Once done press unmount usb. Then on recovery press install from storage. Click on your rom zip. Let it install. Reboot your htc one. Your good. You should have no more issues.

Fyi, because I see it misused a lot, "Bricking" man's it won't even power on, be recognized by any device, etc. If it just won't go into its ROM then that isn't a brick.
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Mine fits the description of bricked better... All stock, no root, just using it as a GPS, left it plugged into the car charger when I went into the store but turned the screen off (that thing gets HOT). When I came back, no led, no power, nothing. Have tried connecting to the wall charger that came with it, to USB 2 and 3 on computers, left it charging all night. Not so much as a flicker... The computers didn't recognize anything connecting to them either.
Long hold of power (with and without either/both volume buttons) has done nothing.
What is left to try? I would rather not lose all the pictures from my vacation, but need my phone back for work.

The URL from which my phone downloaded the zip file was
Code:
http://fotadl.htc.com//secure/OTA_DLXPLUS_UL_JB_50_hTC_Asia_HK_1.23.708.3-1.11.708.1_release_33417443z3iqny0zggdtbr.zip/surl:kid=25,et=1380040924,h=694B5DE0FC46CD0CD069E539232CF864
That would mean it was released by HTC directly.
Anyway, there's no way a telco could push out an OTA for the Butterfly S as to the best of my knowledge, there's no branded version of the phone.

4.3 is being pushed out to the HTC ONE. Hopefully we will b seeing it soon as well.

Actually I have a problem with the new update,
Installed it today (901s) by OTA and now my phone just resets every now and then,
already 4 times by now
I think the update just wasn't installed properly, because after reset I get a message that my device was updated..
the problem is that I don't know and don't think it's possible to re-install the update without unlocking the bootloader,
in the meanwhile i'm just hoping 4.3 will roll out soon so the problem will be solved
if anyone knows what to do i'll be really thankful!
edit:
just noticed notes update is gone after a reset, had to install again, so it really makes sense that the device is stuck on the update install

Thats the worst part of it- I can't perform a factory reset.
tried through the settings, than a hard reset through HBOOT, even got into recovery without root by this method:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K0zdRPwJ0g
But nothing seem to work. I get the Boot animation, a black screen, if i'm doing it through the settings or the hboot I get a screen of red triangle with exclemtaion mark(that indicates I don't have root), and then, device just starts up again.
This is really weird, I never saw something like that, and I have no idea what to do.

install custom recovery and reset from there?
if your bootloader is unlocked ofcourse and dont forget to put the stock recovery back afterwards

If you don't want to unlock your bootloader, you can try fastboot boot custom-recovery.img to boot TWRP or CWM without flashing, although I'm not sure that will work. Still, worth a shot.

I don't want to do anything that can void the warranty, since if i'll need to send it for repair back to Hong Kong it'll cause problems and very expensive fees for the repair.

Exactly as I wrote. Download either CWM or TWRP and try to boot them via fastboot. Boot, not flash. You'll need to reboot into the bootloader (hold the volume down button while the phone is booting up) and type the following command (assuming the file you downloaded is recovery.img):
fastboot boot recovery.img
It's possible it won't do anything or that it will just boot the regular system, but if it does succeed, it won't flash anything, just boot into the custom recovery. Then you can perform a factory reset or reinstall the stock ROM from a ZIP.

I recommend googling a tutorial on how to set up adb and fastboot. The general steps are to download the Android SDK which contains both tools, extract it somewhere, add the location to your $PATH, then download the recovery image, save it somewhere, navigate to that directory within your commandline, connect your phone via USB, reboot it into bootloader (either by rebooting it and holding volume down or by typing adb reboot-bootloader) and then type the following command (substitute recovery.img with the actual recovery image file name):
fastboot boot recovery.img

[Q] Phone stuck in boot loop

Hey all! I have (had) a rooted HTC one.
In an attempt to install an Android 4.3 ROM, I've got my phone in 1 of 2 stages.
I have TWRP
When I tried to download the 4.3 ROM and reboot, it takes me back to the bootloader screen. If i try reboot, it continuity takes me back to this screen.
If i go to recovery, and attempt to wipe & backup, it says successful, however, upon a reboot, it goes through the motions, but android nor apps never loads and in about 20 seconds, the phone restarts and continues this process over and over again..
Can anyone help me just get my phone back please?
I feel like somethings just missing or do i need to factory reset?

I did lose everything on my phone. I didn't had much on it though since I've only had the phone for two weeks.
The course of action is this:
First connect phone to your computer and get ADB going (hopefully you had USB debugging on)
Then follow this guide to get S-OFF and relock bootloader, make sure you booted into recovery:

that's the part i don't get is where do i find/access the adb?

First off I'm assuming you have the android SDK installed on your PC since you have rooted phones before.
You probably need a driver for your PC to recognize the phone. The one I used is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
But you can also download and install the HTC Sync
Once your PC recognizes your phone and you are booted into recovery you can push ADB and fastboot commands to your phone.

Once your PC recognizes your phone and you are booted into recovery you can push ADB and fastboot commands to your phone.

issue is, my phone can't stay on longer than 30 seconds

[Q] cant install any custom rom

I have a Verizon HTC One HBOOT 1.54 with S-OFF Unlocked boot loader and SUID but every rom i try boot loops at start screen only thing i can do is restore backup os. I did do full wipe every time. Driving me crazy i want to install Android Revolution HD 22.0 but no go. Also tryed 4.0 and insert coin all boot loop and never load.

Is it the firmware? Verizon is still on 4.2.2 and those roms are 4.3.

You can NOT flash GSM roms. You need to flash Verizon specific roms. And if your device is anything like a Sprint One, flashing a GSM Rom probably messed some stuff up. If it did you'll need to RUU, that is if Verizon has an RUU.

Their development will pick up now that there's an exploit.

Hey, I didnt do my homework before trying to flash roms and now my phone is stuck in a boot loop and i dont have the stock RUU. It is also a Verizon HTC One. Is there any way I could use yours to recover my now useless phone?
Feeling desperate.

Actually, I have an RUU, but its not on my phone. Is there any way to get it onto my phone? I can get into recovery but im not sure where to go from there. Sideload isnt working properly.

You don't flash an RUU in recovery mode, you flash it in fastboot.
