Re-download a rom zip, boot to recovery, wipe everything, then flash the rom
(assuming you can still get to recovery [HOME+POWER] since it wasn't mentioned)

wiping before restoring nandroids/flashing a new Rom?
what recovery are you using?

just FYI, next time you ask for help you should post some of the answers to kyouko's questions without anyone having to ask. we can't help you as well if we don't know these things.

I put 5$ on the ROM he was flashing uses an uncapped kernel...

3 letter word; RUU.
Start from scratch and be careful what you flash before you flash it
Happy flashing buddy. Be careful!

Maybe you just need to let it sit on the HTC screen for a while longer to see if it finally starts booting up. Sometimes it can take a couple of minutes. Try not to watch it, if you can.

Problems with ViperROM 1.0.3 - Reboots; No Apps; No Service

This should be a reply to the main topic in the Dev section, but it's my first post. This is the only place I can post...
I'm new to Android, I've been an iPhone user since the beginning. I remember going through the steps to jailbreak and unlock the 1st iPhone by hand via command line. And I've been jailbraking iPhones ever since. Before that I was flashing ROMs to my Windows Phones and modding Xbox's. Now I'm ready for Android, but I'm stumped:
The HTC One is my first Android phone. It's the Sprint phone so I'm attempting to flash with ViperROM 1.0.3. I'm unlocked running TWRP and have followed the tips I've found to a 't'. But every time I flash, ViperROM boots, takes about 3 mins, Reboots, begins Upgrading Apps (a random number of apps each time, once 37, once 83, once 232) then finishes at the lockscreen. Unlock and the HTC setup begins. The keyboard disappears (from existence, from the shade notifier it want me to pick a keyboard, but won't let me), I never get network service, and after a few minutes the phone reboots. Once it reboots it comes to a black screen with on the notification bar with the battery and time. Then reboots again after a while. Never stops.
What I'm I doing wrong!? I'm wiping everything clean before I install, I've checked the MD5 of the ZIP, I've re-downloaded the ROM, nothing is working. What am I missing?

Maybe you should start with viper 1.0 and see how that one goes

I've figured out the problem, but no solution yet.
It's TWRP. For some reason it is not mounting /system. Not found a way to get it to mount /system on boot. You can mount it via 'Mount' from within TWRP and install viper without any problem, but when it reboots it's still not mounting /system
I tried using a plain stock ROM had the exact same problems. The OS can't see /system.
Any one know how to fix TWRP so it mounts /system? I've already tried overriding it with CWD then reinstalling TWRP. Didn't work. And CWD isn't HTC One Compatible, yet.

When you rooted did you do this step?

Yes. I did. That's how I started the process. And yes, I've tried Vipers's R/W root.

If that doesn't work I would relock it, install the RUU and start over. Seems your recovery install went wonky. Maybe your download was corrupted.?? Be patient, you'll get it bud.

Thank you for the help! It's very appreciated! Sucks to be the noob. Is hard needed to learn everything as you go on a new platform. But love figuring it out!
Now, I did try last night to flash a stock RUU (used this RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904)
I re-locked the bootloader and then used Hasoons all in one tool to flash it. It failed. Where can I find a good RUU to flash?
Also, this post seems to best explain my /system mount problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194471

I haven't seen or heard of this tool. The only noobproof one i know of is hasoons. Also the RUU that you used is it the Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.7_RUU.zip?? Thats the one I used and make sure you unzip it and run the exe.

Sorry, not boomer, it was Hasoon. I'm away from my computer and could only remember there were two O's in his name. :silly:
It might have been that RUU, I'll try that method when I get back home this evening. Thanks. I hadn't unzipped or run it via exe the one I got before

good luck. and make sure your bootloader is locked before you do it.

See my post on incremental updates in this forum or basically use TWRPs sideload adb feature in advanced . You need the Hassoon2000 all in one toolkit for the HTC One. Watch wwjoshdew on YouTube he covers it. Press Shift in the all in one root toolkit folder and select Run command prompt here. Once you do that put the phone in adb sideload mode, wipe all caches and then sideload the zip file with Viper 1.0.3 to your phone no need to change the name of thefile. TWRP will rename this to sideload.zip for you and begin to reflash your new ROM. When it is complete it will reboot to system. Make sure you make a Nandroid and never ever do a factory wipe in TWRP as I found out the hard way. It WILL erase your backups.lol

Did you do the advanced wipe from TWRP before flashing the ROM?

I got my phone working again, at the least, by running the RUU.
I'll attempt to install vipersROM again this weekend and see if re flashing the TWRP works.

Yes, I did. But installing the ROM wasn't the problem as I was able to mount /system from within TWRP. Wouldn't mount though when booting the ROM.

*Update*
Ran that RUU and re-flashed to stock on Monday night and ran stock for the rest of the week.
Yesterday I tried it all again and all went well with out an issue. (Flashed viperROM 1.0.4). Aside from one re-flash this morning after I tried installing some AirPlay app that halted the phone and kept it from starting up. But after a quick re flash without a wipe, that fixed that quickly.
It was a bad recovery flash. So, in the future if anyone has this problem and finds this post and skips to the end for an answer:
I used Hassoon2000 All-In-One Toolkit for HTC One
- Re-Lock Bootloader
- Re-flash to Stock via the correct RUU (extract the *.ZIP and run setup.exe. In this specific situation: Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.7_RUU.zip)
- Unlock Bootloader
- Flash Recovary (i.e.: TWRP)
- Then one of the following to Flash a ROM:
+ Sideload a compatible ROM via ADB (In this specific situation: viperROM for the Sprint HTC One)
+ Upload ROM to Phone via DroidExplorer and Install directly from TWRP

Glad to see you got it figured out. :good:

Hi!
just reviving the thread, had the same issue you see, but on phone there's no imei.
pls help!

boot looping when I update with Viperboy 1.1.0

I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.
What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.
Will I loose all my settings and data?
Please help

Under advanced wipe select the first 4(dalvik,cache,system,data).
Then reflash the Rom.
You will lose settings.

Thanks, will try that in the morning.
Is there anyway we can save settings and restore them after upgrades?

Htcs built in backup through dropbox works very well. It restores apps, settings, homescreens. About the only two things it doesnt restore are accounts, autorotate and lockscreen password

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

I do this everytime I flash a new Rom and it doesn't wipe my internal SD...

Thanks all, I am just where I was. so many opinions and would like to have a concensus.

It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

same problem
ive had the same problem, i actually had to use the ruu to get back to stock, unlocked it again s-off rooted and no matter what i do everytime i install any custom rom it goes into bootloop. ive tried every rom on here i cant even get viperrom to fully boot up. looking thru all the forums nobody has a clear answer as to why this is happening.

im stuck in boot loop after the viper rom and i just got it yesterday .. i dont know what to do at this point . when it does boot it ask me for the wifi login and fails says poor connection when its right next to me

Boot Loop
I'm also stuck in boot loop. I've done research and tried all kinds of stuff with no luck. This is what I get...
Phone boots
I get the notification bar and a black screen
Can't do anything with that.
After about a minute, it reboots.
Can anyone help with this? I have the 1.31 version. Clearing cache/data/delvik does nothing for me.
Can someone help me get it back to stock, or at least usable?
Thanks in advance.

HELP! After installing custom recovery

Hi all. Just got htc one. Managed to unlock bootloader and install CWM recovery and flashed Android Revolution HD 4.0 Google Edition but having some problems. First was it had no keyboard but i managed to select one. Now when i press Messenging it just flashes up with not responding and wont load it. Also every now and then it keeps rebooting? HELP please as i cant really do anything. I just installed rom without wiping anything so has that caused it? thanks.

When dirty flashing, if there are bugs present, always full wipe and reflash prior to posting any kind of error report.

Random bootloop, only fastboot on locked bootloader

Hey guys. Sorry if its been posted before but I did search with no solution found. So I did have a HTC One that I S-Off'd, rooted and everything else and I have had a few other modded HTC devices, but the issue isn't with mine.
My sister also has a HTC One which randomly stopped working the other day. Its stuck in a bootloop where it reaches the One boot animation then restarts. Its not unlocked, its still S-On and not rooted.
The only thing I can access is Hboot and therefore the only thing I can really use is fastboot commands. When choosing recovery the screen just goes black and it restarts.
Under any normal circumstance I'd unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and reflash the stock ROM or something but she NEEDS the files on her phone. She's OK with losing apps and app data and settings etc but the user data can't be wiped.
Again sorry if the solution is out there already but I've been up since 6am, been at work all day, had to drop people off and I've been trying to get this phone working. Its now 1am and she needs this phone ASAP. Cheers in advance, Huzi.

theirs no real magic here... you can try fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot-bootloader
from bootloader you can go to stock recovery when you see the android on his back hold volume up and tap the power button
you should see the recovery menu try erase cache their also.
everything past that gets more and more destructive stock recovery / factory reset / try to bootup phone ..followed by unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP and doing a format data. Then pushing a rom onto the phone

Yes they do a full wipe .. if you were s-off you could make a custom RUU that did not wipe the phone though
Your situation is why HTC sold the phone with a 25gig dropbox included, If people choose not to use it as a backup then they find out the hard way why it was their. All the new HTC's come with Free Google drive Accounts for the same reason
