soft brick? - HTC First

So like an idiot I completley wiped the phone and my recovery using TWRP. I can still access TWRP and the OEM HBOOT/FASTBOOT menu but I deleted the OS. I tried to restore using RUU but the program is not recognizing the phone. The computer does recognize the phone though. I'm just suck on the "F" boot logo. Any ideas?

okay I was able to get back and perform the most updated RUU. I was back to stock rom everything working okay. I tried to unlock the bootloader using the HTCDEV.com method which works as fastboot shows bootloader unlocked but it puts the phone into a boot loop. Any ideas to fix the boot loop after unlocking bootloader?

How? Also, if I relock the bootloader through fastboot, it boots fine...I don't get it.

Okay so I have 1.08 odexed, modded kernel, and SuperSU all on the sdcard and I'm in TWRP recovery. What order should I flash them and what should I do before, inbetween, and after I flash them?

[Q] Flashing a kernel

A few questions regarding flashing a kernel.
1. Can i brick my phone when flashing a new kernel?
2. To flash a new kernel, all i have to do is fast boot right? Not wipe my whole phone like i do when i need to flash a rom?

1. Possibly... Read read read... And make sure you have a good charge on your battery... And make sure the kernel is for your phone
2. You should almost always wipe dalvik-cache and cache when flashing anything

Need Help Bootlooping

Hey guys, so I was easily able to unlock the bootloader. However, the problems began when I flashed recovery. After that I have been getting only bootloops. Thus, I did a factory reset, which fixes it, however, once I restart or turn the phone off the bootloops start again. Which means I am constantly factory resetting my phone. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am able to get into recovery without it. But I can't get the app becasue i cant get into the app store.
thanks for all your help!! I think i may have got it. I reflashed recovery then rebooted the bootloader, then booted into recovery through the bootloader, then wiped everything. It seems to boot now and I am able to restart and shut down without a problem. Hopefully it sticks. Thanks again for taking the time I really appreciate it.

How do I flash completely back to stock?

Although I enjoy most of what the HTC First has to offer, I think I would like to return it. So, I was wondering if anyone could instruct me on how to flash back to stock and if there was a way, remove the "Tampered" message in the bootloader?

No. I've tried Moonshine S-Off 4 times and I can't get it to work. I followed the directions so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is there any way you could help me understand why Moonshine isn't working for me? I'm on 1.08, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and I have CWM (not sure if the custom recovery matters). I plug it in with the OEM Cable and USB Debugging on as instructed. However, when I run Moonshine, it goes as far as Test 3 and then it starts running through several rows of dots.
Edit: Scratch that. I figured out that all I needed to do was turn off my Firewall. So, now that I have S-Off, how do I go about flashing it back to the Stock ROM/Recovery?

As a followup to this, does anyone have a copy of the stock recovery? It looks like the OTA updates don't work with CWM.

Since you have s-off I don't know why you want a stock ROM/recovery. Either the v1.08 or v1.04 zips will install with CWM (not TRWP last I tried). http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Myst

about kernel
Hey guys im new to the forum, i got this phone from ebay, its just what i need, btw i like dev so maybe thats why i picked a htc, well the thing is i installed jmz's kernel amazing stuff but i wanted to go back to stock kernel to try differents roms, im s-off with ub and using cwm, i tried to compile the kernel source (i use ubuntu 13.04) with no luck at all, it looks like its about the toolchains, but well is there a kernel that i can just install it with cwm as a zip?
pd: sorry bout my english im from Chile :highfive:

[Q] recovery help htc one

hey guys i am new to rooting, unlocking, and installing custom roms, i have one problem i am bootloader unlocked and rooted but when i go to install a custom recovery, it tells me in the command window that it was successful but when i go to enter it, all i see is the htc logo and it says entering recovery but after 10 seconds on the screen the phone shuts off and does it every time, does anyone think im doing something wrong. iu really am stuck on this one and i tried to install both types of recovery.. maybe the root didnt work?????
You don't need root (super user) to flash the recovery. Try again. Make sure htc drivers are installed and the phone is recognized by the computer. Also, you may have had a bad download of the recoveries. Try downloading again. I just used the files from the sticky Q&A thread and my recovery install was very quick and painless. Good luck.

Long hold power and volume down. It should eventually take you to bootloader where you can select boot to recovery and restore a backup. If you don't have one, do an adb sideload of a known working Rom .

yea that's exactly what I'm trying to do . Is to return it to stock. I backed up stock Rom with twrp before I installed a different Rom but then when I restore back to stock Rom it worked fine a couple times then all of a sudden nuthing happens when I restore to stock Rom it's a blank screen.
