HTC one (sprint) accidentally flashed a 4.2.2 rom

So I have screwed up pretty bad and now tried fixing the problem myself before asking for help.
Earlier I flashed Android Revolution HD 12.3 to finally realize that I didnt work with sprint, however I forgot to make a back-up for my phone. I have tried using adb sideload to install viper's rom v1.1.0 via TWRP. After the flash is complete and I click reboot, I get an error saying "No OS installed! Are you sure you want to reboot?"
If I swipe to reboot, I end up with a black screen with a toolbar at the top. I am totally lost and have been searching to forums for hours on end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have been able to get viperROM to boot to the startup screen, however with a minute or so I get an error which states "Precess system is not responding, would you like to close it?" Then my phone restarts to the black screen.

You messed up your partitions by flashing that rom. From bootloader select factory reset to get your partitions back and then sideload your sprint rom and you should be set.
Or this method will work too.

I tried the first method and didnt have any luck. I did notice that when looking through the install folder, the .zips are no longer listed. However, when the phone turns on for a few seconds and I am able to open files through my PC, they are listed there.
Second method got me to the startup screen. As I attempted to connect to wifi, I had no phone service and also there was an error connecting to wifi due to "temporarily avoiding poor connection". Then the phone instantly restarted back to a black screen.

[SOLVED]
I followed instructions on:

You're lucky the partitions aren't aligned in a way that your hboot was overwritten. Otherwise you'd have a brick instead of a phone.

I know, I really lucked out. Took a solid 14+ hours of research and trial and error to figure out how to fix it. I had rooted my old evo 4G a few times thinking I still knew what I was doing, but that was a while ago. I should have definitely took some extra time to do some more research before I flashed.

This is why i don't flash roms from another section even though some have sprint version i just don't trust them

I flashed viper's sprint version of his ROM and havent been receiving text messages or phone calls. I think its time to just give up on keeping my phone rooted. I havent had any favorable results yet.

So I ran a RUU to get everything back to stock as described above, however I am no longer receiving text messages or phone calls. I can send them though. Would anyone know why?

did you try to update the profile and PRL? otherwise you might have to call sprint and manually program using your MSL through the ##DATA# menu

Strange soft brick?

First off I'm on an cspire htc one. It's an M7_WLS with CWM, the same as sprint but I'm not sure of the differences between the roms and ruu. I made the mistake of trying to install the ARHD which doesn't support sprint with TWRP and after that I've had OS issues. I have no nandroid backup and I'm stuck with what this forum or the net has to provide. It'd be awesome if someone had a stock cspire ruu. I've tried looking over the forums and found nothing on cspire. I've flashed, sideloaded, pushed, and the only type of coding I've done is this sort (google this, can't post links) 2013/10/fix-data-htc-one.html which helped remount /data after that unmounted from my tampering. In the process I noticed that system and data are switched between the two phones so I believe that's what my issue is(besides me messing up and trying to root the phone to begin with).
So far my greatest success at making the phone work is installing viper one(supports sprint) but I can only get to the homepage. The homepage has none of the services working. No signal, weather updates, the clock is wrong, etc. If I try to slide the lock up to unlock it, it restarts the phone. I really need the phone just working, it doesn't matter if its rooted or modded. I'd really love some help.

Have you found the stock RUU for this phone yet? If so please let me know because I too have an HTC One from CSpire. I have gotten the phone unlocked but I am afraid to root it until I get the stock RUU for CSpire... Please help me out if you know where to go and get this

[Q] Htc One X Unique problem

So Long story short, I have an Htx one x(l) evita,
the wifi was not working at all(I assumed firmware issue) so I tried to flash the stock rom,
Unlocked bootloader and tampered are effective but NOT S-off(it is S-on) I tried to flash a custom rom(its rooted as well) against my better judgement, NOW the issue is it is not bricked, it reads through adb, loads to bootloader, but there is NO OS, when going through the files, the folders are there, however it will not go past the HTC splash, it reboots to my teamwin recovery OR recovery page(3 androids on bottom of the screen)
Since I bought this phone used, and now tampered with it, what are my options? When in teamwin I can do almost anything but restore has an empty folder, and when I go into the advanced. to fix permissions, it fails.
Any thoughts? ASIDE stop flashing roms, ( believe me, when or If I get this fixed, I am done playing with htc roms, samsungs are so much easier)
any help is greatly appreciated

Here install this and you can try multiple recoveries to see which one works for you. I think that is your problem. Just a side note...you have to use the volume and power buttons to navigate through aroma installer. Hope this helped man. Let me know

FYI, I posted in the other thread he made about the issue and it is indeed a problem with twrp recovery, it is not fully compatible with the hk version for some reason, I "solved" my issue by using philz touch recovery

I am currently running capt. Throwbacks recovery but I will give the other recoveries a try as u suggest. I'll let ya know if I get one to work.

Sorry to thread jack if that's what I'm doing but his issue was probably fixed as he has not updated this and it's touching on an issue I have with Aroma installers....I've tried the Bad Boys, NVProject, Bad Seed (i think) and one or two other Sense ROMS and they all use Aroma installers. Even that Recovery Switcher that uses Aroma I can't get working properly. I believe in many cases the touch screen is supposed to be working but mine will not work nor do that arrow keys + power advance me down the list of options. I can SOMETIMES check the agreement boxes if I hold power and press a bunch of times on the screen while hitting the side buttons, lol. This 'technique' has gotten me almost all the way through an Aroma installation but, inevitably, I end up hitting back instead of finish or can't make anyting but the "about' to come up.
I have no problems installing AOSP and AOKP roms via Philz or the Twrp I was using its only the Sense ROMS/Aroma combo that are giving me trouble....
Currently I am S-OFF and have reverted back to the sense stock rom and taken the OTA which has me up to software version 1.54.654.13.
I am having issues with my 3G and getting stuck in 1xRTT or Roaming constantly but I think this may be a network issue as tens of thousands of acres have burnt to the ground as close as 1 mile from my house this week and Sprint said they had dispatched some technicians to examine some of their structures/tower in southern california......
The only other thing I can think of is that I had to fastboot oem writeCID 11111111 to get the RUU to work...was I supposed to change that to something else afterwards?

The problem is the aroma installer hasn't been updated to be compatible with spirit as of yet. Use the volume up/down to highlight things and power to select. I think it's vol down 4 times and then up once to get to next. You will get the hang of it.

ok sorry havent updated til now but i have tried all the recoveries in the zip to install multiple recoveries easily and not one of them would work to install viperone rom but i tried bady boyz with them all as well and i was able to get that installed using philz recovery but none of the others worked with it. when i try viperone with any recovery it wont even start up aroma intsaller at all just gives me failed right away in the recovery. so as of now im on bad boyz rom but i want viperone rom im not satisfied with any other. bad boyz is a good rom dont get me wrong i have just used viper since i began rooting my phones and i love it. anyways aroma works for the recovery install zip just fine (other then the touch not working) so i dont knopw if its a recovery issue or something with aroma or possibly viperone rom even i have no clue?. thanks for all ur replies and suggestions everyone ur a big help always. id love to get this solved so i can run viperone rom again as i had on my first H/K M8 that i exchanged for the current one i am using. sorry again took so long to update

oh as to the volume/power buttons for selecting the options in aroma. i believe that there is no exact combo to get the selection on the next button. ive had 1 or 2 pages that i only hit down once and it selected next right away and then sometimes it didnt. so it varies on the up down number of times. ive had it not work using down so many times then up once a few times so its hard to really be certain . just my finding about that issue.

i am s-off and not sure about RUUing at all with this phone. i will give them ideas a try now and report back once done. hope that works.
which RUU would u suggest i try? i am on Bad Boyz Sprint ONE M8 Harman v1.1 rom with build 1.54.654.13. if that matters any.
If u know a link to the RUU thatd be great help and save me a lill time. thanks

I know my issue was fixed by using philz recovery, wiping data, cache, and system and then installing a new rom. If the issue is what I think it is, then wiping all the partitions I mentioned should fix it. (I think the issue is related to some file system corruption and twrp not being able to properly handle the corruption, when other recoveries work just fine, so formatting the partition will get rid of the corrupted data)

You can wipe boot partition as well, just dont wipe anything you dont immediately recognize (I know philz touch has tons of options to wipe different partitions, and a lot of them probably would be bad to wipe lol)

ok i wiped said partitions and tried installing viper from philz recovery and twrp recovery and no go same thing happening. almost got worried when i tried rebooting and got the "no OS installed, r u sure?" but i just installed bad boyz again to get going again. im gonna try RUUing cause now i get a message after my phone starts saying something bout inconsistent partitions, u must wipe data partition or phone will be unstable. so gonna just RUU and start from there. do u know by chance if it is possible to create a backup with say twrp recovery and able to restore it with any of the recoveries such as philz or does a backup need to restored using the recovery it was created with? thanks again.
Here is a shot of what I received in philz after attempting viper install. http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums...s/2014-05/IMG_20140519_010012_zpsl8wwj5mi.jpg

ok so i RUUed with the RUU u suggested and then tried installing Viperone rom and still getting the same failed status. i tried restoring my backup i made before attempting these suggestions and it seems they do not restore completely either. errrrr so frustrating! my first M8 i had no problems with root soff recovery or installing viperone... this one is just not going so well. im gonna keep at it tho until i get viperone on my phone. lol

Good news.. I was able to install ViperONEm8 rom finally after all the hassle.
i went to TWRP recovery website and downloaded the TWRP recovery 2.7.0.2 and downnloaded ViperONEm8 1.5.0 version and flashed the recovery and installed the 1.5.0 version without a problem i tried 1.6.0 first but got the failed thing again but 1.5.0 installed no problem. YAYYY!!
Thank you all for your help

[Q] Soft-bricked Sprint HTC One

Hi everyone,
Spent two days trying different things and not sure where to post this. I started off with ViperOne ROM, 5.8 and TWRP Recovery. I have S-OFF and my CID is all 1's.
I installed Android Revolution 71.1 using TWRP and it installed but I kept getting constant dialer force closes during setup. So I tried installing the latest ViperOne ROM with the same result. I tried wiping data, cache, dalvik-cache, same result. I ran Disable System Write Protection 1.29.651.10 and tried installing again and now it won't get past a blank HTC screen that comes up after the boot animation. Now after trying 3 different ROMs (Android Revolution, Adroid Revolution Stock, and ViperOne, I'm getting the same screen and the phone won't turn on. I was sideloading on my Mac but now it won't even detect sideload mode in my TWRP.
I have no idea what else to try, and after having no phone for a couple days, I really need help.

ARHD is not compatible with Sprint One(M7) devices...you messed up your partitions
The only fix is to RUU and start fresh.

If you are lucky at least only radio partition is screwed up which can be taken care of by radio from Sprint radio thread else RUU is the only option

Thanks so much! I also remembered I could simply use USB OTG rather than trying to flash things before the phone restarted. I'm surprised this happened, though, because the new Android Revolution says clearly that it now supports Sprint models.

But installation script mounts mmcblk33 as system which is actually radio partition on Sprint m7.
If you modify installation script to match Sprint and use kernel meant for Sprint m7 then Rom can be flashed safely but I guess it will work only in gsm mode
