ISSUE RESOLVED: keeping post since active since I still need the rom exe. But boot looping fixed.
My AT&T HTC One is stuck in boot loop, probably to do with the KK OTA update. I have looked everywhere, read posts all night, and tried all of the various reboots and reflashings of recovery files and firmware, erased caches, locked and unlocked bootloaders. Can anyone post the executable RUU for the stock ROM KK version 4.18.502.7? I'd really appreciate it. I can't sideload a zip (it stalls). I'm aware of the other post asking for the same thing and the response in it with a link to the file, but that link actually is only to a recovery zip with darkbootloader, which seems also to require S-OFF, even if I did have some way to sideload it.
The firmware updated before it began looping, so I can't just reinstall a prior stock ROM exe file, as far as I can tell. I tried anyway!
I hesitate to install the .1540. Dev. Ed. version of the ROM that's available because it says in the notes that it's "compatible" with my cid and PN, etc, but I think they mean for recovery file purposes and not for a full ROM install. So I think I just need the ROM exe, if anyone has it? Thanks!

by the way, when it crashed i had installed the ota update and then restarted play around with it, then rebooted in bootloader and unlocked, reinstalled twrp and AndRev HD 51. I've noticed two problems there. The first is that the Xposed module's latest update totally defeats my internet wifi and especially crashes vpn sevice. prior versions did not and I could not down-install to prior version (is preinstalled in HD 51). The other problem is that in looking around for this boot loop probably, turns out that TWRP apparently doesn't get along well with the encryption. don't know why. this stuff may or may not be part of the problem, but at this point i have no OS, an erased cache and can't even get into recovery (tried flashing twrp, older twrps and CWM. thanks.
You are screwed if you have no recovery, and the phone is s-on. You need to find a way to get in recovery. Alternatively try to flash the firmware only from OTA to get stock recovery.

This RUU does not exist yet, only the FOTA version - I've been in talks with HTC about this very thing. They do not have an ETA for the RUU, unfortunately.

Hm. I did flash the firmware from an OTA. But couldn't actually boot into recovery after that. I can flash custom recoveries but can sideload without the intall stalling about a third of the way through (just hangs, no error messages). Then after that if I restart it loops. I can maybe fix the "tampered" warning and swap it out somewhere. I think it's the encryption while using twrp maybe resulted in some hiccup. But I thought the firmware flash would fix that. And I'm not sure how you can actually tell whether the flashed firmware is successful. (it says it is in the command prompt, but the phone doesn't really do anything all that different and i already updated with the OTA so the numbers won't change).
Looking at the board today and reading through the posts I see many people reporting basically being in the same boot loop boat after the OTA update, though with diff versions maybe there's some FW problem. weird so many posts of similar boot looping.
Thanks for responding.
This issue is temporarily resolved, was able to push ARHD in TWRP (would not sideload without erroring out during install, but was able to push zip to sdcard and then install from there) after much wiping using both twrp and cwm. Did notice when using CWM recovery would not install ARHD off sdcard push, and would flag unknown files .... android..security during wipes, so i am guessing that encrypting a custom ROM at least with TWRP as recovery was a bad idea. hopefully this will stay stable until the KK OEM RUU EXE is available. Thanks for the help.
Hi, I have tried being clever and rooting my HTC ONE Mini, which all went perfectly well. Unlocked Bootloader and installed TWRP.
I found a radio update on a website and tried installing it, with S-ON. As you can imagine I am not stuck in Bootloop.
I somehow managed to wipe all the data off my phone and sdcard too.
So I am stuck with a phone in bootloop with recovery from TWRP.
Everytime i try and fastboot flash any file even an Android ROM.zip it doesnt like it. I am novice at this so you are probably reading this and think what is he doing.
Can someone help me or guide me to getting my phone back and running again. Please??

You can't use fastboot to flash a rom.zip! It must be pushed to your phone (use either adb push or adb sideload from recovery) and installed from custom recovery.
Btw this is the wrong forum for your device. Htc one mini forum is here
Hi and thanks for reading. I have searched for the solution but found no definitive answer.
I am used to flashing Samsung mobiles and a few others and have used the toolkits to get the custom recoveries installed.
In this case i simply cannot get a reliable CWM installed on my unlocked bootloader version of this RAZR i.
The bootloader screen mentions a maximum size of "100mb" but the recovery imgs i use are well under this, i am also using the Fastboot method to get the recovery installed but always receive this error and am now at a dead-end in regards to flashing this phone.
---
Incidentally flashing an original ROM through RSD-Lite also failed at a certain stage of the process but didn't cause any issue actually booting into the phone itself.
Thanks in advance for any assistance! :good:
Yes, another one of these threads, but I need some help.
I got the bootloader unlocked, flashed twrp into recovery using fastboot. Unfortunantly the device rebooted into stock which I'm reading got rid of twrp. One problem is I can't figure out how to get twrp on there, and to stay on there, so I can use it.
Ignoring this issue I just continued. The guide simply said flash cm11. I searched around for a little bit on how to do this with fastboot (since my twrp wasnt working), but ended up doing the stupid thing of running:
fastboot flash system cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-ghost.zip
I know my problem is that I flashed the system with just a zip update file. I should've performed an update.
But now I can't figure out how to find the stock system image for my phone, the actual img file, so I can flash the system again. I have a sprint moto x.
Thanks for any help!

you should be able to install TWRP by using the command, "mfastboot recovery twrp.img"
regarding CM11, I don't think is needed anymore to go from CM10 to CM12. it was at one time, but I believe CM or TWRP made some updates so that step is no longer necessary.
but before we can help you further, let us know what ROM you are on now and what ROM you want to be on next.
also, this thread is very helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/official-collection-firmwares-fxz-sbf-t3146628
Ok I got TWRP on there. Now I would like to get to lolipop 5.1 one way or another. I've always liked CyanogenMod (of course) but want to try CyanHacker. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-cyanhacker-lollipop-ghost-t3033367
Right now I'm on a stock sprint rom I got with kitkat 4.4.4
Here's what I was going to do: (copied from forum)
1. mfastboot flash the latest TWRP if you aren't already at that point. I won't help you on fastboot things as you should already know- look around in the forums for info.
2. BACKUP YOUR STUFF- don't want to lose things without being able to get them back, right?
3. Flash the downloaded CM11 snapshot.
(Heres where I'm stuck. This is where I soft bricked it last night. I tried just now to apply the update using twrp and it just fails. It also fails at rooting my phone.)
4. Let CM11 fully boot and go through the setup screen- just skip everything and get to the homescreen.
5. Reboot into Recovery and wipe EVERYTHING- system, data, dalvik cache, cache, etc.
6. Flash your Lollipop ROM.
7. Flash PA-gapps.
8. Flash SuperSU.
9. Wipe cache/dalvik cache.
10. Reboot.
11. ???
12. Profit.
Thanks for any help!
Hi all!
I have a problem and i hope you guys can help solving this. I finally decided to install a custom Rom into my Mi A2.
After some trial and error i managed to do it and i have a working phone with this ROM installed:
[ROM][11.0][OFFICIAL] DotOS v5.0 [AOSP][2021-02-15]
My problem is that i can´t access recovery because when i attempt that, the phone just hangs in the beginning (logo/splash screen) of the recovery. I have waited hours and it won´t enter recovery menu.
If i need to reboot my phone for some reason i get stuck into the same issue.
My temporary solution so far is to use fastboot and load a recovery.img and from there boot into system. This way i have a functional phone.
I have tried to install other recovery versions, but all lead to the same result so far. I have no idea what is going on and have searched a solution for this but no avail.
Does someone knows how to solve this?
Thank in advance!
SOLVED!
By chance flashed one TWRP version that worked.
