Did you flash the .IMG twice? Some people have reported that it takes twice.

The easiest way ( for me at least) to flash a boot.IMG (kernel) is with Flashimagegui. It's available in the market.......ahem, google play for a buck. Or the creator of the SW has a dl link in his thread for free.

Go into HBOOT (if you don't know how, go look for it! Not handholding you all the way through this), and re-unlock your bootloader. It should boot back into whatever custom ROM you had before.
If you weren't on a custom ROM, download the ICS RUU (or an old GB one) and pray that it works.
If it doesn't work, congratulations, you're the proud owner of a brick! Learn your lesson, and READ next time!

where can i get the download the ICS RUU

Uh, try searching, for one.
But since I can guess that you're not going to bother, I'll point you in the right direction: Click.

did you get ICS up n runnin? Or did you have to roll w/ GB?

Got the ics running! The Ruu helped a lot

For future reference, its not a brick if you can still power on. If you can get it even to power on, most of the time you can fix it. If you do something and it wont power on, youre done. Soft Brick v. Hard Brick.

Thanks for the info!

Just flash a stock rom and wipe your data. That's all!
Try giving a good title. Writing urgent wont make it. You have to give a clue of your prob so that people here could easily know if they could help or not.
Hope that helps. Just sharing what I learned from posting on XDA.

I dont know much about unlocking so you better read about that. I cant link Jailbreaking and flashing together. I think it won't.
Well you have read about flashing then.

sad part is i just found out i can get into recovery... i mean thats good but i was going to make a backup later but when safestrap launched and when i pressed menu it wouldnt work so i figured oh well, but im now in it.

If i try to start the phone without plugging it to a computer the phone gets stuck on HTC startup. Any one facing similar problem. plz let me know.
Also suggest how how to reload the phone using RUU, I have no clue which RUU file to download, How do i go abt finding the RUU compatiable with this phone.
Plz advice I am a newbie to this
thanks in advance

[q] sprint htc one = bricked???!!!!!

I tried to install a rom on my htc one, which I later learned was for gsm devices only. This action got me caught in a bootloop. So I tried to install ruu 1.29...the problem is my image version is 1.31.....so I idiotically deleted all my phones data during my attempted installation and it still didn't return my htc one to stock form.I unlocked my bootloader again and reflashed twrp.both work fine.but my pc doesn't recognize my phone when I plug it in via usb.WHAT DO I DO???!!!!
P.S.: yes, I am a noob.:

Search around... Several other people who don't read before flashing have done the same thing and it's been answered a few times.

Not to sound like a jerk but it's balling to me the number of times people ask this because they flashed a GSM Rom. Does nobody read the OP of a Rom thread?? It's an expensive device... Take the 10min to read !

Maybe 10% and that's being VERY generous.
The lurkers are part of that 10% they search and find what they need to fix their problem

HTC Vivid Custom Rom Flashing Problem NEED HELP!

Hey guys i just rooted my HTC Vivid and when i go to install a custom rom which was the CM10 Nightly rom it would get stuck on the cynagen boot logo. Also im using TWRP 2.6 just to let you know. I rooted with superuser 1.25. Thanks please if you can give me a step by step tutorial i would really appreciate it! If you can give me a custom rom link as well! Thanks!

Did you do a full wipe? Data, cache, dalvik all need to be wiped. Did you unzip the ROM and make a copy of the boot.img file and flash it in fastboot? Are you s-off or s-on?

HTC Vivid Virtuous Inquisition Wifi Problem
Yes I did but I didnt make a backup of the boot.img and didnt flash it through flashboot because I dont know how to. Also im S-On. Just to let you know yesterday I did flash virtuous inquisition rom and I flashed it with twrp and it worked! But the only problem was the wifi didnt work so i had to revert back to my stock rom.

Before posting an 'I have a problem' thread... You should read...
The boot.img and the WiFi drivers are linked... If you don't flash the kernel... Your WiFi will never work...
It says so on EVERY OP for EVERY ROM...
Please stop only reading the first 2 sentences of the OP and read the whole thing... I am truly getting sick of people asking the same damn questions for over 2 years...

Well I'm sorry sir I'm new to android rooting and flashing and I dont know how to manually flash roms and kernels via Flashboot. So if you could give the instructions I would gladly appreciate it.

There is a 'superguide' provided by slapshot in the dev threads I think... He goes into GREAT detail... About how to deal with all of this...
It would be better to read that instead of the Reader Digest version I would spit out here...

Alright rignfool. If you can still help me I would gladly appreciate it. I recently flashed the kitkat 4.4 rom and whenever I'm for example listening to music on this app called rocketplayer and I go to the homescreen it switches the music input from the headphones to the internal phone speaker. I also tried out a different app but it was the same problem. Furthermore, whenever I used the built in app which is apollo it says dsp manager has stopped working and then says you can blame the split screen. Ofcourse, the split screen isnt designed for the Htc Vivid that I have but how do i stop the problem that im having?
