[Q] Stuck on Splash Screen - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Need serious help.
I flashed dirty unicorns and data and sms wasn't working so I tried to restore my phone but TWRP didn't see anything to restore. So desperately, i saw that it still saw my ViperRom zip so i flashed that and now I'm stuck in the splash screen. I tried to get the phone back to recovery with the toolkit and it doesn't see my phone.

more info:
I just tried the button combo light trick and was able to enter recovery. but alas I am at a loss what to do now. I still can't see my backups. I'm now doing a standard wipe and reinstalling ViperRom. Please God let this work.
update: Phone is alive.......but, i'm stuck on EVDO and Goomanager doesn't seem to see any of my original stuff. I'm aware this is the 4.2.2 thing but I am not really educated on how to deal with that.

Thanks. Only one question though. I just finished copying my restore from the 0 folder and pasted it, now TWRP can see it and is finally willing to restore. Will the restore solve this issue just as easily or is it that as soon as you flash a 4.2.2 is your system forever changed without this fix? I only ask because I don't want to flash that zip and create a new issue if the restore will quite literally send me back in time to before I even flashed 4.2.2.

Stuck in boot screen after CM update through Rom Manager

Got notification to update to the latest CM, clicked ok on everything, phone rebooted, now stuck on boot screen.
Can enter CWM but nothing functions, cannot choose update from SD or anything.
Please help..
(Did search, probably not good enough, but nothing came up. Am also new to the Rom Manager thing. Please don't flame if this is answered somewhere already..)
Did you make a nandroid backup? I always make one 'just in case' before I update.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Am not sure I did; I think it asked me if I wanted to back up the current rom and I think I clicked not to. Either way, I cannot do anything in CWM, what ever I choose gets stuck at the little hat with the arrow and I have to pull the battery.
It's not a big deal (I hope at least) to revert back to an original image, as it's my back-up phone so I don't use it daily. Hope it's easier than that though..
I would say reverting back to an original image via the passimg trick would be your best option right now (unless your bootloader is unlocked?)

It is unlocked. Any magic trick..?!
EDIT: I can enter the options in CWM. Being used of the Atrix I was pressing the on/off button instead of the trackball to choose. Ffs.. Anyway, I tried wiping the data, no go; still stuck on bootscreen
I would try restoring a backup if you have one. If not, just do a wipe and clean install...
Unlocked bootloader could've been used to install a new recovery, though that now looks it was operator error... xD

After a bit of trial & error..fixed!! Dude, it's the 2nd time you've helped me, you should have a donation button. Now I can't buy you a beer..
THANKS!!!!
You're welcome!
I have all the beer I need, but thanks for the offer!! xD
I have kind of the same issue but I am still stuck..
I have an unlocked bootloader and rooted atrix, everything was fine until I installed gingerblur through the cwm ( I chose to install from the sd card ), once I did that it finished what it was doing then I used the reboot feature through cwm. My phone is now not moving past the motorola dual core screen. It still says unlocked at the top left and I can still enter cwm and fastboot. I have read alot about trying to flash through fastboot, but I am sorry I am a newb and do not know how to flash through fastboot. I am desperate for help... any help would greatly be appreciated.
If you can still access recovery, I would try a full wipe and instal again...
Thank you for your response... I did as you said and wiped everything... found a .zip file for android 2.3.4 gingerbread and installed that through cwm. I now have a new question... what is the best way to create a nandroid backup?? I went in android recovery mode on the boot screen and proceeded to backup through the menus and saved it to my external sd card... the only problem is that when I tried to restore back to the backup I made before it kept giving errors while trying to install the backup file. Any ideas how I can successfully create a android backup on this ATRIX 4g??

You can start by going to the atrix forum and not the nexus one.
Sorry... just downloaded xda app and new to it.

Stuck in a bootloop with no backup on phone!

ViperROM 1.1.0 on Sprint.
So, I everything was working fine, until I decided I wanted to put a new tweak on in the MoDaCo toolkit. I did it, and then rebooted the phone. Bootloop. Well, maybe we can just reboot it, and the bootloop will be fixed! Bootloop. Well, we can clear the cache, from TWRP and a cmd propt! Bootloop.
Now, me being the idiot that I am, I didn't keep a backup on my device. It's on my computer. So, is there a way I can get it back on the device from the off state, bootloader, or recovery? Is there a fix for this, even after clearing the cache? I guess wiping the data isn't an issue since I have the backup on my computer, but then how do I get it on the phone?
Help please, as I currently am without a phone!!!
EDIT: WAIT WAIT WAIT... I just booted up after 20 minutes of bootloop. I guess these MoDaCo mods take forever to apply! I now know that for future reference! Jeez I got freaked out! Everything seems to be working fine, but thanks to everyone for their replies if this ever actually does happen!

I would just adb sideload/push a rom to get a working phone, once the phone is working transfer your backup from your PC into your TWRP/clockworkmod folder on your phone then restore it in recovery...

Did you try the steps to disable the xposed framework to get you out of the boot loop and then disable the module that caused it. From the xposed support page:
In case you get into a boot loop:
You can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
You could also create a file /data/xposed/disabled, which causes Xposed to be bypassed as well.
Try that. If no luck then you can sideload with twrp recovery from this guide:

Help Encryption unsuccessful error

So to set the story i had came home and rooted jb via linux method. Then presumed to use bootstrap as a recovery. I installed it and it said success. Then i presumed to change the bootloader unknowing if it was locked. So i reboot and i am stuck at Encryption unsuccessful screen and the only option is to power off or reset. What do i do ive tried to reset but it doesnt work also i tried to do a hard reset via stock recovery this also didnt work im unsure where to go about this problem now. Please help Im panicing! From what ive researched i think its soft bricked. Also there appears to be a fix on House of Bionic but it isnt clear. Lastly, I believe the problem resides with bootstrap but im unsure its just a hunch. All options will be tried.

I had something similar happen when I first rooted my Bionic and all I did was just reflashed my phone back to stock 4.1.2 and started fresh. Not sure about any other options as I needed to get my phone back in a hurry

Its been a while since I have had to do it but you should use RSD Lite and a 4.1.2 hsx file for the bionic. If you google the two you should comeup with the files you will need. Sorry I cant be of more help.
EDIT: So I still have the file you need to flash using RSD Lite (Not sure what version you will need). https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80936776/cdma_targa_9.8.2O-72_VZW-22_cfc.xml.zip This file is 468 MB.
Now you just need to download RSD Lite. It only works with Windows. Windows XP is probably your best bet.

Yes I believe you did edit it out. However I used a different link. I did get it working and rooted with the help of a linux bootable disc. Also I install safestrap correctly. But ran into a problem. I got cocky and didnt read all the instructions on flashing a rom and accidently flashed it over top of the stock rom so when i boot it loops then goes to recovery. Next i did a factory reset and wipe retried but no luck. So i did the only thing i knew to do was to make a second rom slot and install the backup i made of the stock. Which works fine no complaints. But low on storage how would i go about wiping the stock rom with out doing a complete factory reset through rsd lite again. That way i could just flash my backup on top of stock cause it wont flash properly as is. Thanks in advance

Activate the stock slot, then go to advanced wipe and select cache, dalvik cache and system. Then after the wipe you should be able to restore your stock backup to the stock slot. Then reboot. If it works you can then safely delete the other slot you created.

phone stuck on att screen after cm11 installation

ok here it goes
This is the first time i touch this Vivid, a few days ago I rooted it withou issues and has TWRP installed, i also did 2 full backups at that time just in case.
This morning i tried to install a new ROM, CyanogenMod 11 - Android 4.4.2 - KitKat. Basically the steps i took were
1. boot into twrp recovery
2. Did a factory reset
3. Did a System Reset
4. Clared cache and Dalvik cache
5. install the rom
6. install PA gapps
7. booted the phone wich got stuck in the htc screen forever
8. remembered that i was s-off and didnt flash the boot.img
9. repeated steps 1 thru 8 and after that flashed boot.img using fastboot
10. rebooted the phone but it was still getting stuck on htc screen
After all this i decided it was not worth it so i went back into twrp to restore my backup, unfortunately after restoring an booting the phone i am able to go past the htc screen, get the beats audio and att splash screen but it stays there, now stuck on att screen.
I have tried also to restore my second backup with basically the same results
any ideas or suggestions on what could i do next?

Do you know if you had the original Gingerbread or had upgraded to ICS? If you were still on GB, then you should be able to run the RUU for that, if ICS there is an RUU you can install. Read all the directions carefully, most things seem easy but have pitfalls if you are not careful enough.

I dont know what i was running originally. However i am back in business!!!
I found the superguide followed it regarding the RUU and luckily i got my phone to work again.
I want to try flashing the CM11 again, i am guessing that either i am doing something wrong or maybe TWRP is not working correctly on my phone and not flashing the rom as it should.
Any known issues with TWRP and the vivid? shall i try another recovery?
Are the following steps pretty much what i should do to flash it
1. factory reset
2. system reset
3. clearing caches
4. flash boot.img (i am s-on)
5. flash rom
6. flash gapps
any suggestion is welcomed

additional info:
After recovering the phone i decided to lock the bootloader and start all over again. I re-root and then, instead of installing TWRP i used CWM and obviously, got a nand backup.
O tried flashing again CM11 and got the exact same results. Stuck in the initial HTC screen forever. Tried to restore my NAND Backup and the result was also exactly the same as before, phone would get the htc screen, then the beats audio and att animations and then will stuck onthe att screen forever.
This is weird, i must be doing something wrong here...
Reading thru a few times. You did indeed flash the image? fastboot flash boot boot.img on command line. Make sure boot.img was extracted from the rom to the folder you are typing that in. You do that after flashing rom and gapps. It has to be done from bootloader not recovery.
How long are you letting it sit. Had a phone that I thought was doing that, just took a few extra minutes to boot up.
"Small mistake"
Sorry for your problem, I think there was a small mistake before installing CM11, and was what you describe in step 3 "Did a System Reset" when the installation instructions say: "Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache". I'm afraid you can only recover your VIVID through JTAG on any site that offers the service, it seems you deleted your operating system. The other option is to try [unbrick] HTC Unbricking Project By dexter93 developers forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627886;
All the best. Just a recommendation, read, read and read each post and comments to take no surprises. Good luck.:fingers-crossed
I would appreciate your comments
I don't think that post is relevant. You still have access to bootloader and recovery right? Then it isn't bricked.

Yes i do have access to bootlader and recovery, i actually was able to bring back to life the phone using RUU. So the issue now is not that the phone is bricked but that anything i try to load on it fails, being CM11 or even the NAND backup that i took with this same phone just after installing recovery, nothing seems to work.
I was googling around and so another person that had similar behavior on his vivid but didn't posted if he was ever able to fix it...

CM11 kicks ass. http://69.10.54.187/nightly/holiday/ is where you might find the latest nightlies.
Seems to be the only vivid rom that has been worked on for a while.
First time I tried running a custom rom I had a similar issue to what you experience. Do you happen to be on bell? After restoring with the RUU and unlocking again, all went well.
The best guide is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836 but just use it as a guide line and use this software instead.

Some people say to run the fastboot command 2x. I've been following that advice. Figured it can't do anything bad.

[SOLVED]HTC One m7 partitions screwed up

OK. So I soft bricked my phone earlier, and just restored by flashing the RUU. Now that I'm trying to root back, I'm noticing that my file system is totally different from what it used to be. TWRP actually says no OS is installed, but the stock version of 4.4.2 is most certainly there and boots just fine. How can I rectify this?
UPDATED: There was actually no problem with the file system. It appears I likely had a bad download of TWRP so it wasn't recognizing the mount points.

What version of TWRP do you have installed? 2.7.1.1 wipes OS version from bootloader, but that doesn't affect anything. If you want OS to be shown flash TWRP 2.6.3.3. It's the most stable recovery and you won't have problems flashing ROMs with it. On the other hand, if your phone works fine, leave it as it is

What version of TWRP do you have installed? 2.7.1.1 wipes OS version from bootloader, but that doesn't affect anything. If you want OS to be shown flash TWRP 2.6.3.3. It's the most stable recovery and you won't have problems flashing ROMs with it. On the other hand, if your phone works fine, leave it as it is

It was actually tdhite's 2.7.1.3 that I flashed that really screwed up my phone.
I was using 2.7.1.1 fine before. I flashed back to 2.7.1.1 after getting my phone working again with the RUU. I have a full backup of my rooted phone saved to my computer and would love to be able to restore it back through TWRP. But the actual filing system in ES File Explorer looks different.
In TWRP, I can't even get to SuperSU to become root because of the way the file system is so different.
When I was soft bricked, I may have played around in the Mount function of TWRP and screwed it up that way.

I wanted to add, the only partition showing as mounted in TWRP is the Data. Can't mount cache or system. Going to restore shows my internal storage at 37 MB. Going to file manager shows I am in the folder "/." In this folder are a boot, cache, data, deve, etc, license, proc, recovery, res, root, sbin, sdcard, supersu, sys, system, tmp, usb-otg, default.prop, file_contexts, fstab.goldfish, fstab.qcom, init, init.rc, init.recovery.qcom.rc, property_contexts, seapp_contexts, sepolicy, ueventd.goldfish.rc, ueventd.rc. Most of these have nothing in them. SuperSu does have a Superuser.apk inside, but its not the SuperSu file I downloaded from Chainfire's page, and with only Data being mounted I'm afraid to flash the default one.
The other funny thing is that when I go to reboot system in TWRP, it says that no OS is installed, but like I said, the stock system boots just fine. I believe everything on my phone is installed to Data.

The file system has not changed since 4.1.2 to 4.2.2

You should also make it Clear you Have a Sprint HTC One

Yes. It's the Sprint HTC One m7. This is the most bizarre problem I have come across. And I was successfully rooted (SuperSU) with TWRP 2.7.1.1 installed prior to installing TDHITE's 2.7.1.3, which really seemed to mess things up for some reason. I used liquidsmooth custom rom, but ended up going back to the stock ROM and using Xposed framework because I do like a lot of the stock features, but I loved being able to tweak them with Xposed. Now I'm stuck on stock with a weird looking file system.

Dude, we could really do some serious damage to your phone. As clsA said, you really should make it clear that it's Sprint version. Did you by any chance flash something that's not for Sprint phones? That could screw up your system.

Is this possibly just a problem with TWRP? I actually notice in ES File Explorer that things arent' too different after all. I've got a / (Device) folder and a "0" folder which is my internal storage. It's just stuff isn't showing right in TWRP I guess, and TWRP seems to only be mounting my data partition.

This did it. Maybe I just had a bad TWRP image flashed before? Thanks for your help!

Flashing that TWRP is what got it working. I didn't follow any of the other steps. Thanks so much! Now to load my backup and restore! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Making a stock backup first of course. I love these forums. Seriously. Anything is possible with the fine people of XDA.
