Mind at least telling us what the heck you did before this happened?
It would REALLY help us in diagonising your problem, you know.
heh i suppose it would wouldnt it!
I installed the battery icon mod..

How did you try odin? I think that should have done the job.

Have you downloaded an official ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
not yet, im not sure where to get it from! lol
i only had the phone like a month or 2, and i broke it but got it replaced under the warrenty lol
so where can i get a offical rom from?
There are lot of ROMs on samfirmware.com and guides on how to flash them. You need an account though.
Have you even flashed a ROM before?

Check samfirmware.com, it will help you (a lot).

thanks muchly, i will check back soon when i have attempted to flash it!
madkid21
BTW, you could also check Doc's ROM if you want to use custom rom. I personally use it and its great. It has also some good guides compiled on the first post. I strongly suggest you read the Doc-Froyo.pdf guide in that thread.
Good luck!

Now that we have root...how long till we can get a new rom on there?
Never happy...
We need clockworkmod recovery first to even flash a rom. Probably looking at another week or two for the first rom.

As soon as we get a custom recovery, I'm going to try at ROM developing. I wanted to on my Eris for a while, but I never got around to it (I actually did develop one, but never released it and it wasn't incredibly good, so I stopped using it myself after about a day >_>), and this phone seems like a good one to start on.

It's not necesary. You can make and install ROMs without CWM, you just cant make it idiot proof like CWM .zips are
I want Webtop to run on the device.
Hello. I have an HTC Vivid. I did the Hansoon all in in one root kit with no trouble but then when I put a custom Rom on my sd card and tried to flash it, it gets stuck at the boot screen.
My question is do I have to be S-off in order to flash New Roms? Because I am having trouble reading these guides. I don't fully understand without a video of some sort.
I rooted my Inspire without a problem and had that for quite some time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't have to be s-off to flash ROMs, but if you're s-on you will need to fastboot flash the kernel when you flash the ROM to get it to work right. That's all s-off really does. Allows kernels to be flashed in recovery.
There are plenty of tutorials out there for everything to do with flashing this stuff. Search around and do a whole lot of reading.

Now when you say fast boot the kernel you mean flash it from the boot loader screen? I will try and read more. Inspire we're not this hard. One program got s-off and rooted. Vivid too many different steps.

Yes. and one program simplified it so much that people who had no business modifying their phone drove attn1 almost to insanity. This way, you have to read, and read some more. And actually understand what you're doing.
I loved attn1's tool, it was AMAZING! I just felt so bad for the support he had to give...
Well I figured it out and got the Pac man Rom on my Vivid. This thing runs smooth. I'm so happy to have figured this out.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

Hey, I unlocked my HTC Dream (Rogers, post 911 patched) bootloader from the HTC Dev site: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/
The Dream/G1 bootloader unlock code is now provided by HTC themselves. Everything went smoothly but I don't know what to do next. I know I needed to do this to install custom ROMs (I'm on android 1.5 right now, want to go to gingerbread 2.3) but i have no clue how/where to start.
Any help would be seriously appreciated.
The HTC dev bootloader is garbage and will only cause you headaches. Relock the bootloader and root properly, Google search cyanogenmod wiki dream, follow those steps

Hi, thanks for the reply, however I only went down the HTC route cuz this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Rogers_Dream:_Rooting_(Post-911_Patch) doesn't work. Many people have the same problem as me that the exploid, doesn't work, but I couldn't find a solution.
Dunno what to do, all I want is gingerbread lol, thanks for replying though, appreciate it
I don't know why it doesn't work I did it to my rogers g1 back when and it worked fine, what's the issue

Hello again! So I took your advice looked around a bit and tried another exploid.zip file, this time from Droidx root method. FINALLY it worked and I now have custon recovery and ROM.
HTC Dev did nothing for me,
Thanks for help and suggestions
So I wanted to root my htc one and install a custom rom on it and everything went wrong. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, installed superuser. I then tried to install android revolution hd 12.1. after installing it from sd card it said that my device was not rooted and it rebooted and now i am stuck on the bootloader screen. I cannot try and install the rom again due to all my data being wiped somehow and I have relocked the bootloader and tried to run the ruu to return to stock but it says I need the correct ruu i updated to 1.31. someone please help!!!
It is loading to the "htc quite brilliant" screen and it wont go no farther, I can still get into bootloader and recovery though
Sprint Htc One issues
I am having a very similar issue! I just want to be able to use my phone whether stock or rooted now. Help!!!!!!
If you can access the boot loader, unlock it again then use TWRP's sideload feature to flash the ROM. Or you can probably find. The correct RUU in the sprint one forum.
AT&T HTC One
BaadNewz's InsertCoin 3.0-7
Flar2's Bulletproof 3.4
Once you guys get your phone's fixed, make sure to flash a sprint compatible Rom. Android revolution hd isn't compatible for our phones yet

Seriously. The number of people who've managed to put themselves in this situation is staggering. We may just want to have a PSA sticky that says not to flash that ROM.
OP, you should at the least put your phone into fastboot because an RUU will not run with the bootloader open, but I'm not sure if there's a new RUU available for the latest OTA.
Fortunately you are not bricked try out this tool it makes your recovery so much easier http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814 with this you can flash a recovery and sideload a rom, you might have to also click the download HTC drivers as well. Make sure you sideload a SPRINT compatible Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2219. GL!
So find a Sprint Rom you like and download it, then from bootloader you can use this tool and sideload a rom and flash a recovery.
Ive got it to install a rom, i installed viperrom. After i did that and it boots up it says I have no service and the phone will reboot on its own. what do i do now?
You will likely have to RUU back to stock. The non Sprint Rom probable buggered the partitions or the baseband. Look in android development to find the RUU file you need. I don't think you can use the older one if you got the recent OTA.

Thats what I want to do go back to stock. Do you know where the ruu for 1.31 is?
I can't find it. I heard it was out there in a thread recently. Here is the older one though. That may work, I haven't tried though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I haven't explored it myself, but I saw anecdotal posts stating that they were able to use the older RUU.

what do you mean?
Might have to wait for the RUU file to drop then. Coming from Samsung devices for a long time, I'm used to being able to use Odin to go back to older factory firmware without issue. It's a bummer. Maybe someone more versed will have better info.

Does the Non-Sprint HTC One threads say "Sprint"? No.
Are the Sprint HTC One forums labeled "Sprint"? Yes.
Do nearly all the ROM threads in the non-Sprint forums say something along the line of "not for Sprint variant" including the revolution HD thread (all US carriers apart from Sprint)? Yes.
Just take a minute to read through the thread before flashing something. I mean, this is an expensive device where messing with system level files CAN ruin it (obviously) So, don't go jumping into stuff if you aren't going to take the time to understand it.

Thank you, could you elaborate a little more? Ive been stuck since last night. I am able to install roms from recovery but once I do the phone keeps rebooting and saying no service
The thread I listed gives everything to get you back up and running,,the GSM Rom you flashed screwed up your partitions,file structure is different from our Sprint edition Ones,,that thread is in general section,

Thank you! I am going to try that now! i appreciate the help, I just want to be up and running again
I thought that fix is just to remove the 4.2.2 multi user sd card issue. I don't think that'll fix your baseband issue. Might be wrong though...
