So here is the situation, i am S-off unlocked all the good stuff. Flashed venom 3.1.0 RC2, was working great. The i wen into Venom tweaks and saw it had three kernels listed i could install. DLd ExperimentalX .6x. installed perfect not a hitch. Then the phone boots up. No signal what so ever. X over the bars. Then it restarts. Boots up, no signal at all, rinse and repeat. If i try to boot into recovery to re flash the rom to give it its stock kernel it goes to the boot-loader instead. No recovery possible whatsoever. When i try to do fast-boot, it says waiting for device. I am stuck any help much much appreciated.
You have it set on fastboot usb on phone and have fastboot set up on pc?

That is correct. I have the htc sync installed and fastboot ready to go. Its been used in the past so i dont know why it is causing such a problem now
This is exactly what happened to me, Sam Rom and everything. Please any help would be amazing.

I'm having the same issue with the Bulletproof kernel
EDIT: I flashed twrp again from fastboot, erased cache, rebooted, then rebooted into recovery. I did a wipe then restored back to my stock rom. Seems like the Kernel install erased my recovery? I've got the stock ROM back but the phone continues to reboot every few minutes and won't pick up service... Any help would be appreciated
(disclaimer: I am not well educated on this stuff – just getting started – so what I did may be totally wrong)

Hey guys i don't know if anyone of you had the same issue but any info/help could be helpful.
I used to flash my N1 A LOT! but today i have this strange issue. I wiped and flashed rodriguezstyle again for a clean start, but i only got the colorful X with the unlocked symbol at the bottom and then just a black screen. i thought I've done something wrong and flashed again, but with the same results.
i changed my sd and downloaded again the rom but still no luck, did a nandroid restore and the phone was working properly. then i got a bit frustrated. downloaded 2-3 more roms but the result was the same.
i read somewhere that flashing with battery <50% may cause some errors so left the phone off to fully charge and tried again... no luck
then i remembered i upgraded the radio and i downgraded it to the old one, but still the same results and nandroid doesn't work... jeeeesh... back to the new radio and to my nandroid, but its no fun owning a smart-phone if you cannot flash it.
anyone with the same issue or any helpful tips/instructions?
Try this:
When the phone hangs at boot, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and reboot from recovery. Does that work?
If not, you'll need to logcat the boot process and post the log somewhere for us to have a look at.
So, assuming adb is working on your computer, plug in via usb, use adb logcat > output.log and reboot the phone. Continue logging for about 60 seconds after the phone stops.
Post the log to www.pastebin.com and then link back here.
hmmmm ok i will post results in abt an hour. thanx!
hmmmm i think i sorted it out... reflashed recovery. propably i messed smthing in there! thanx for your effort!
Hello everyone!
Weird problem here, too.
I was backing up my SD card in view of a format/cleanup....and when I went to boot into recovery, my N1 was stuck on the black screen with the white letters at the bottom "Build : RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1"... The phone actually boots great, it is just not loading the recovery image. Is it possible that part of the flash got corrupted? If so, I'm pretty much done flashing my N1, right???
I'll post a log asap (if it could help any)...
Oh and btw i tried to re-flash Amon-RA's recovery twice already...Superboot said it was successful....but I doubt it...
Well try flashing stock rom! I flashed it through fastboot step by step and it worked. Also check if the rom you try to flash needs ext partition or if apps2sd is enabled

I tried to flash the boot image for my first custom rom using easy kernel flasher, and my Vivid is now stuck at the white HTC screen. I then realized that I had used rom manager to flash CWM, even though I had already flashed the custom CWM from the superguide. Is this what caused my phone to hang at the HTC screen?
Is it safe to pull my battery? What is the next step, repeat step 2 from the superguide and then reflash the new kernel and rom?
I apologize if this has already been answered, I just haven't seen this exact question elsewhere and I don't want to pull my battery without being sure that I won't brick my phone or make my problem worse.
Rom manager does not work for our phones. That is why your phone is stuck. I remember another post like this. The guy pulled the battery and flashed the new cwm image without rom manager and it worked. I believe you would start at step two to correct your issue. Let us know how it goes for you.
Ok I pulled the battery and put it back in and now it won't boot at all. The power light flashes orange and then nothing happens. I'm getting a bit more worried about this now.

Alright, so I just did the same exact thing you did... updated CWM from ROM manager and tried to backup the ROM, hung at HTC screen. I haven't gone through the steps to reverting my CWM yet but I did get it to boot. Pull the battery, put it back, boot into HBOOT and let it do its thing, go to fastboot and then reboot. Give it a minute. Mine came back, set for a while at the boot image but it came back.
I just did the whole thing again but with out the HBOOT process and it worked too. Didn't take nearly as long as before at the boot image. Try both or see if you can't get to recovery from HBOOT. I'm pretty new to the Vivid since this is my wifes phone and its a lot different from my Inspire, the process of everything that is
Now reading your 1st post again, I didn't do the exact thing you did but close...
I tried again and it went in to h-boot, and i was able to reinstall the custom vivid CWM. But now I'm not sure if the kernel flash which started all this worked. Is there a way to find out while in recovery?
Should I reboot the phone now, or just flash the rom I was planning on flashing originally? Or should i try to return everything to stock and start all over?

Thanks man. I got into recovery and fixed the CWM problem, but now I'm not sure what kernel I have running so I don't know if its safe to reboot.
Though I know how to use CWM I couldn't tell you how to check your kernel and whatnot from there. Best thing I can think of, or what I'd do, would be to wipe everything out and restore a nandroid, granted if you have one I've never really messed with kernels untill now so I don't even know if that would work
I realized I could just reflash the kernel while I was in recovery. It hung at the htc screen on the reboot like before, but i just pulled the battery, went back into recovery, flashed the rom, and now everything is working perfectly with the new rom. What a relief.
I think the original kernel flash may have actually worked, and I just freaked out when it hung at the htc screen and assumed it was because of the rom manager/cwm thing. It may have been fine all along.
Here is something that will help with flashing kernels.

Flash Image GUI
ok i did the same thing awhile ago, i flashed new CWM then insatlled rom ...the Kernal did load thats the reason you got the white screen ..so just go ahead and load your rom you should be fine
I rebooted my phone to install a font and now it continues to turn on (HTC logo) and then restart. Tried to get into recovery and it just exits...
I had my phone off at night and turned it on - read a few text messages - and went to replace the ****ty font I installed yesterday.
Just looping.
Any help?
Can't even turn it off lol - I would need to go into bootloader and click power down. It is odd - I didn't do anything and it started up perfectly before 5 minutes I did the fonts.
flash the boot and/or recovery?

I flashed the recovery with CWM and installed Android Revolution HD 6.1
I was just wondering if it was safe to re-flash the recovery again to see if it would work. I don't want to screw up this phone lol.
EDIT: Got it. Reflashed the recovery and had to reflash the ROM.
I don't know why a simple font change would screw ALL of that up. I don't want to keep flashing this ROM lol it has been about 4 times now.

You need to reflash what ever was on it. Hopefully you made a backup if not and were on stock find the correct nandroid back or RUU for your phone and flash that. You can also try doing a factory reset that may bring it back.
agreed...try to re-flash everything to stock than go from there to find what is causing the problem.
Okay so basically yesterday I got my lovely spanking HTC ONE (m7) and quickly proceeded to downloading the One_All-In-One_Kit, uncloked the bootloader and rooted the phone successfully.
I then proceeded to download ARHD and flash it accordingly, everything went swimmingly, the ROM installed via Aroma as it should, yep all nice and dandy. NO! After the installation, I rebooted, get to the HTC bootscreen, I'm presented with a nice new red message at the bottom and then the phone restarts itself, tries to enter recovery, that doesn't work, then it tries booting up again and does the same thing over and over.
I've flashed the ROM several times and get the same thing each time. I've tried RGUI and get the same sort of thing with that only with RGUI the phone doesn't try rebooting into recovery it just stays on the HTC bootscreen.
I'm desperate for help on this so please, if anyone has any insight it would be highly appreciated.
I hope you're not also flashing any of the custom kernels on here....cos they're not compatible with 4.2.2
Nope not flashing anything else but the ROM itself..
after flashing did you try "fastboot erase cache" ?
sometimes that helps when phones get stuck on the HTC logo after a rom flash.
Use the toolkit to erase cache
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yeah done that several times too. Can't seem to work out why it isn't working and I too can't find the correct RUU for my device meaning I can't even take it back to stock
try to hold power + volume down to get into the bootloader to get back into recovery. Once in recovery factory reset, erase cache, erase dalvik, and reflash the rom.
also download the andorid SDK for fastboot and adb, then try "adb reboot bootloader" if you can not get back into the bootloader to get into recovery
My friend had his do this loop as well, we had trouble getting it into recovery, but held the button combo of power and vol down several times (probably 10) and it FINALLY booted into the custom Clockwork recovery, then we reflashed and it worked like a charm.
Also try redownloading... it could be a bad download

Just a word of advice. Update your profile to say your country and carrier. It helps people identify which device model and carrier you use.
Thanks for the help so far guys, basically I can get into recovery, that's not the problem, the problem is the phone gets stuck on the HTC screen after the ROM has been installed. I'll try downloading the ROM again when I can, in the hope that it is just a bad download. Hopefully this is the case and re-flashing a newly downloaded ROM will solve all my issues.
I'll post back with the result as and when I can.

I would be restoring my nandroid backup and make sure the phones that way first and then start again
Thanks again for the help guys, went to phones 4 u this afternoon and he exchanged the device for me.
I installed insert coin 4.4 and now I have a completely bootloop. No os installed. Recovery shows for one second then goes away back into bootloop. Any help is appreciated. I have reflashed multiple recoveries and as far as my knowledge takes me I know if I can't get into recovery much more knowledge is needed. Thank you so much xda for any help.

This happened to me when I tried to update ARHD rom from a 4.3 base to a 4.4 base. If you can still get your phone into boot loader, put it into fast boot and connect it to your computer. Then I went into terminal and flashed CWM. Then you clear the cache. After that, I was able to restore from one of my backups. I hope this helped
P.S.
If you try installing a 4.4 rom again make sure you are using the latest TWRP

Thank you. I know fastboot is set up by toolkit. Guess I'm going to have to install adb manually and try to figure out how to wipe cache. hopefully will get it fixed up.... Thanks.
I know I can get my phone into bootloader... So there's hope!
PS. I'ts really as simple as deleting cache through fastboot?!

thanks for the help, but I just realized I cannot get ADB to recognize my device. It only recognized my device through one of the toolkit's drivers I installed. The toolkit unfortunately does not have a option to fastboot wipe cache. I do not have my computer I originally rooted my htc one on. I think its time to call HTC warrenty; I have spent countless hours with multiple guides setting up ADB with windows 8 and toolkits that don't have the option fastboot wipe. I even tried minimal ADB all you have to do is install but nothing will recognize my phone. Thanks for attempted help
PS i have tried multiple computers with windows 8 I have never been able to set up ADB successfully on win8
