Hello,
I'm having an issue on my device. Whenever I flash it with a GPE rom, I get stuck in a boot loop. This ONLY happens with GPE roms. I can flash a rom with Sense 5.x and it works fine. This only started as of last week. Prior to that, I had flashed a GPE rom back in late December and it ran fine. Is there a fix to this? Or should I just stick to roms with Sense?

update your recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.3 for anything related to KitKat

Are you S-Off, 4.4 GPE require S-Off (in addition to recovery mentioned by @clsA)

Help please, whenever I flash a cyanogenmod or AOSP based rom after the htc boot logo shows on bootup the screen remains blank forever, the phone is on but doesnt boot whatsoever. My phone only successfully boots I've found when flashing sense based ROMS. I have s-off, bootloader is unlocked but looks like stock 1.44 hboot or whatever because for some reason I can not successfully flash moonshine. I have tried many different custom recoveries nothing I do can fix this problems. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I have already tried flashing RUU multiple times attempting to re do the whole unlocking, rooting, custom recovery bit with no improvement. Thanks everyone!

I am here in the sprint forum I also forgot to add that at one point before all this started happening, I accidentally wiped my internal storage and for whatever reason I could not get my windows 8 machine to recognize my phone in recovery mode to push files. Yes i had sdk installed and tried windows 7 drivers, etc. So i decided to RUU but forgot to relock bootloader so the ruu flashed on top of my phone which at the time had moonshine eng hboot. my phone appeared to go back to stock as well as hboot 1.44 but retained s-off somehow...I attempted to re do moonshine and have not been able to since...Whenever i flash an aosp based rom and the screen remains blank I am able to restart phone to get back into recovery now to flash sense based rom to avoid brick.
Also I just successfully flashed nocturnals ge edition rom so really i am only failing at flashing anything aosp,.... sucks because I am desperate for 4.3

Hi
I have a European HTC One, with stock HTC HBOOT 1.54.
TWRP 2.6.3.0
And I flashed a pure GPE 4.3 ROM with no root.
Like many people I got the last OTA notification.
When I try to install it. It gets stuck at the end of the reboot countdown (in the system).
Can I do this security update?
Maybe by doing it through TWRP? It is a minor update so it should be OK, no?
Thanks for your help.
You need the stock recovery to flash the OTA

I put the Stock GPE recovery. No change. It still gets stuck at the end of the reboot countdown (in the system).
Can't I install the update with another method?
Nope. You could download the OTA file, copy it to the internal memory and flash it from the stock recovery manually and see if that works. Worked fine for me the other day (but I've since gone back to Sense)
Hey all , minutes ago the 4.4 update was downloaded via OTA on my converted GPE htc one. I pressed install and when it went to recovery i get the error message "set metadata recursive" error , and the device dosnt even boot anymore. Any ideas what might be the problem ?

I have the exact same problem. I can get into the stock recovery but my device is not recognized in fastboot or adb
I got the same error when attempting to sideload 4.4 on my phone which I had previously converted to 4.3 GPE (rooted) using the instructions in the developer's forum. Guess it's time to do a full reflash.
I guess doing a full reflash is not gonna fix it. I would suggest flashing the stock recovery again and give it another shot.

from @makbil:

I'm also S-off with rumrunner, H-boot 1.54.
Flashed the RUU for 4.4 and all is fine. Luckily I backed up the data I cared about beforehand, just in case.

So, for the past two days, I have been trying to S-Off my HTC One (M7), and it seems I have never been in luck. There was only my last hope with the Insertcoin gpe ROM, and it just opens, I click next in the setup, shuts down, restarts over and over. Basically bricked my phone, I re-installed my last ROM again. I have tried Revone, firewater, moonshine, and rumrunner. All of them didn't work for me. I'm currently running the AICP 4.4.2 ROM. My bootloader is unlocked, I'm rooted, and my hboot is 1.57.0000. I don't see what is the problem with my device. I am trying to get S-Off so I can convert my One into the gpe edition. If you could tell me step by step, thoroughly on how to get S-Off, or even install Insertcoin with S-Off, I will be very grateful. Thanks in advance. PS. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I'm quite new here.

Well, it didn't work, but something has changed. Usually, I used to get to bottle 12 and then it tells me to restart and try again. this time, it gets to bottle 2 and tells me to retry. Is there something else I'm supposed to do to get it to work? Thanks for your reply btw.

You can use flash image gui app from play store for kernel flash

The best way is to use your originally 4.4.2 stock and then flash only bulletproof 14.2 for 4.4.2 roms
omarx5656 said:
Sorry but, do I need to have Sense or GPE in order to install it? Last time I've tried installing that kernel on a custom ROM, it bricked my device. So, I'm guessing I will need Sense, but do I need to be fully stock or can I just install another custom ROM with Sense such as the ViperOne?

How come Android Revolution ROMs keep putting my phone into a bootloop? It makes my phone boot into TWRP Recovery. I have tried both Android Revolution HD 90.1 ( (Android 5.0.2 Lollipop + HTC Sense 6.0) and the stock HTC system dump (Android 5.0.2 + HTC Sense 6.0 | Latest: 7.15.401.1) without success. I just want to know why!
If you flash in twrp you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot in order to boot because your s-on. And also what you are running I believe are gsm based roms. In which case they will never boot.

ARHD is not compatible with Sprint.
By flashing it your partitions are messed up now.
You will need to RUU to fix and stay in the Sprint section when choosing a rom.

Yep says it several times in the OP.
I can't seem to get any other ROM to boot except CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth. CM is completely stable while the latest version of LS is a bit buggy. They both absolutely refuse to acceept any APN settings. I am using Ting's service right now and I can't use it on these ROMs.... I tried flashing several stock Sprint ROMs for the HTC Onr M7 and none of them will boot. They'll boot if I flash the boot.img like someone here suggested but it doesn't help. It will go to the desktop, however, the screen is completely black. Is there anyway to flash a stock ROM properly? RUU's don't work either.

My HTC One is CDMA (Sprint).
First try updating by going to Settings ---> About ---> Software Updates. If that doesn't work try the following:
This Lollipop update process is ONLY for the Sprint HTC One M7.
First flash the firmware via Fastboot: 6.16.651.2_firmware.zip >>> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934523626
And then install the RUU for 6.16.651.2 via Bootloader RUU Menu:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_..._NV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_414036_signed_2.exe
If you don't know how to do these things, then you shouldn't attempt to. You could end up hard-bricking your phone.

Hello again,
I have some experience using fastboot. The thing is that my HTC M7 originally was Sprint CDMA but the person I bought it from he assured me that he unlocked the GSM.

I guess my HTC M7 is similiar to yours, but I want to be sure before flashing it. I have a backup already just in case.
Thanks a lot.
Your phone is for sprint as it says m7wls you can use gsm service perhaps since you say its unlocked meaning Sim unlock always look for Roms that are m7spr or M7wls based I also suggest s-off so you don't have any complications with flashing

It has been a little bit difficult to S-off my HTC, since it has Hboot 1.57. So far I've tried Revone and Rum Runner without success.
Firewater seems to be down and I'm tempted to pay for SunShine, but I'm not really sure about paying for an application that might not work.
My HTC originally came with Android 4.4.2 and I got a notification to upgrade to lollipop via OTA, but I was suggested to make a backup just in case. So I had to root my phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP in order to get my system backup, but due to the previous procedures I can no longer upgrade to lollipop.
Right now all I want is to follow my original plan by installing a stock rom and try to update to lollipop via OTA.
You kindly suggested me to s-off my cellphone, but I've seen some videos on youtube in which they install stock roms with s-on:

Never mind guys
Finally I upgraded my HTC to Lollipop.
I freaked out because it didn't boot up after flashing RUU.zip
I decided to go out for dinner and come back and try as many times as needed. Fortunately I realized that I misspelled the command fastboot reboot-bootloader I had forgotten to type the hyphen. Then I reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my pc, tried another usb port and used the RUU.exe. Now my HTC M7 seems to be working perfectly
Thank you very much guys.
