First if you want help, change your thread title to something more specific like: ''Help - bootlooping after custom rom flash''
Did you wiped cache? What version of twrp are you using?

Thanks very much for getting back to me, after 12 long hours of research and getting my head around it, i finally found a solution!
In a nut shell this is what i did to resolve the issue:
installed ADB and Fastboot drivers
flashed a recovery img using fastboot
in recovery TWRP, used ADB to push a custom rom to my sd card
flashed with custom recovery and installed OS
What wasnt made clear was the fact that you need to be in a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) in order for the ADB drivers to work. I was stuck for a number of hours troubleshooting why fastboot would detect my device (fastboot devices) and ADB wouldnt! It was only when i had my phone connected to my windows machine and phone was in TWRP, i could talk to my device and run adb shell, and adb push.
thank god that little cookie is over, heart attack and a loss of my Sunday, but all good now

[Q] need some serious help with return to stock

hi all,
sorry to sound like a complete idiot in advance !
I have been trying for over a month now to find some way to return my phone to stock so I can get the new ota update but im just having no luck !
I have tried everything to unroot , relock boot loader, and return to stock, I can successfully unroot, successfully relock the boot loader but cannot update OTA everytime I download the ota and allow the phone to start update process the phone boots into bootlaoder and a new line appears in the normal messages **** security warning*** when this happens I loose recovery and the phone hasn't updated. I then have to re-unlock the bootloader to then flash a recovery.
I cant flash RUU as there isn't an RUU available for me, H3G_001 , I have tried the suggested CWM nandroid backup, but this fails half way through something to do with android_secure
I cant seem to get the phone to successfully grant s-off to try the change cid method, I have tried to do this using HTC one kit by hasoon but no luck,
if anyone could please help it would me much appreciated
regards
okz19
Probably you don't have the stock rom or the recovery, because the secure warning come out when you aren't fully stock..
Look on this site: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
Mine One works now fine and i have update to the latest OTA.

Is better link to XDA
still stuck!
hi all as you can probably tell form the age of this topic, I have been stuck for a while !!! (11 October ! )
I am still having problems trying to get the new update 2.24.771.3
my phone is carrier locked to three uk
it is unrooted
custom recovery cwm touch
bootloader unlocked / tampered
I understand I need stock recovery and to lock bootloader
I don't have stock rom
my problem is as follows, my phone has been telling me for atleast 4 months now that I have a software update, when I click it it restarts takes me to cwm recovery verifys install then gets stuck on cannot mount data ....
I understand I need to flash stock recovery, I have tried to do this using the "all in one kit" however when I click flash my own recovery, (phone reboots into bootloader) I then proceed to select the stock recovery.img the cmd box then hangs "waiting for device" I am then alerted by my computer that the usb device has malfunctioned. ( I am on windows 8 and have turned of signature verification)
I cannot use the supposed simple method of RUU as there isn't one available for my stupid network!!
I have tried to use a cwm recovery image, this usually starts then spits out android_secure is missing.
yes I do have a hammer ready to hit the phone with, but just before I do this is there ANYONE with any last tips to help me, because ive just about had enough with this stupid phone !
the phone has 24 hours left to live, can you save its life ?
thanks in advance for any help.
1. You cannot install an OTA with a custom recovery.
2. I've encountered a CWM bug having to do with .android_secure. There's a hidden folder in /sdcard that caused it, I don't remember whether this file is ".android_secure" or another. You can probably wipe the sdcard before restoring the backup. If that fails, you can probably manually restore the backup with ADB (this will be hard).
3. If you want to install the custom recovery, boot to the fastboot and use USB to install the recovery. Don't use a toolkit because they're useless when anything goes wrong.

[Q] HTC one reboots - Regardless of rom flashed

Hello everyone,
I've got a weird issue where I can recovery/fastboot/adb just fine.
But no matter what rom I install on my HTC One it boots up to a certain point (past the HTC logo to a midpoint of google boot up logo, sometimes into the os)
I had GPE 4.3
I tried to install 4.4 with the new radios. (S-Off)
It messed up once, I re-flashed cwm (had twrp) through fast boot - tried GPE 4.3 again .. still rebooting
re-flashed through fast new twrp again (just in case) - did advanced wipe - tried both roms still the same thing.
I've tried adb push and sideload.
Am I overlooking something here ? Any help or point to some reading material would be greatly appreciated.
I've been searching and searching and it seems most in similar situations can adb sideload roms when internal storage is not accessible and be right back up. I m stil stuck in the boot loop.
Currently downloading htc one sense 4.4. if I could get GPE 4.4 to work it'd be great.
Thank You in advance.

are you doing fastboot erase cache after updating the recovery ?
As you are S-off, run a full RUU to remove any problematic flashes.
Thank you for the replys.
I've tried this fastboot cache erase .. didnt work
ruu is quite hard to find for Rogers HTC one (so far no luck ../ found some old ones links broken ... will keep looking)
I also got a chance to try and flash htc stock sense 5.5 with 4.4 kitkat from here:
(durm it .. can't post outside links yet sorry ..)
Phone still reboots before fully getting to os.
Weirdly enough, if I turn it off during this cycle. It turns back on by itself too.
So far to stop the loop, I have to boot to recovery (TWRP currently) and lock it.
I am guessing I should find a way to S-ON then flash an older rom.
Anything else I could try? :fingers-crossed:
Thank You everyone.

try this TWRP Nandroid Backup
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-twrp-nandroid-backup-cid-roger001-3-22-631-1-zip/
To use – download the latest version of the needed recovery and install it via fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
or
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Then enter recovery either by holding power and vol down button until bootloader displays and then select recovery or if device is booted into the OS use this adb command:
adb reboot recovery
Now perform a test backup and allow it to complete. Then make a note of the folder in which the backup was created. Now copy the downloaded stock Nandroid into that same folder so that recovery will see the backup and allow you to restore it.

That nandroid backup method did take me the furthest so far.
(did wipe before doing it also)
The phone went into the os ... but only to reboot about 30 seconds later.
On the second reboot .. it said an app is asking for super user permission, before i could select allow or anything,
the phone has been boot looping again.
Weird.

try wiping everything and try again
hi clsA,
thank you for replying.
I did try that, still bootloops. I also further tried:
install teaMseven - sense55 - kk - v2.3.6 with the new stock sense 5.5 rom flashed first.
I forgot to mention earlier, I did flash a radio after initially trying to upgrade to GPE 4.4.
The radio flashed was: RadioUpdate_4T.21.3218.21_10.16.1718.01L.zip
only because it was mentioned i'd get a boot loop going to GPE 4.4 without that update.
Theres no sim in the tray, could this radio update be causing this ? I tried re-downloading this radio for a fresh copy of the file also.
IF the radio is/could be causing this, is there a way to determine which radio to try?
I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325564
Out of any further ideas for now
[SOLVED]
Hello everyone,
After so many days of trying, I finally found a way to fix my phone.
I noticed a lot of requests all over the web of a Rogers RUU. This is how I was able to bring my Rogers HTC back to life and stock.
I found this guide:
http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/
(Same website, that has the nandroid backup posted earlier by clsA)
follow ... that guide. Should be good.
I flashed 4.4 GP afterwards (as originally intended) and then OTA'd to 4.4.2. Everything seems to be running perfectly.
Thank You for the nandroid backup and leading me to that website clsA.

[Q] Bricked phone - advice needed!

Hi! I need to know how likely it is I can sort this problem out.
Alas I was rushing through unlocking my newly-returned device (Stock VODAP021 - 4.3 with HBOOT 1.55) and in my haste to attempt to nandroid backup the stock device, I believe I flashed Clockwork Recovery Mod 6.0.3.1 to my boot.
As such, if I reboot the device with the buttons in an attempt to get to Recovery, it gives me a dreaded red triangle. If I boot normally, it takes me to CWRM.
I was hoping to be able to connect to the device with ADB, however this doesn't seem to be working. I'm using Windows 8.1, but I also have access to a Windows 7 machine.
Thoughts on a possible recovery?
Progress update, after many attempts it seems I was able to get in to the bootloader, which in turn has given me access to Fastboot.
I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3 to the device and was subsequently able to access ADB again in Recovery.
I'm attempting to upload a custom ROM to the device in the hope it will restore my system to a bootable state.

This seems to have resolved the issue. I really wish I was able to get that stock nandroid, but alas it was not to be :/

[Q] Serious Help Needed

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

[Q] Bricked. Boot Loop. No Data in SD Card.

Hi guys,
I seem to have a problem
So I was running 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5 on my phone. Vodafone (my phone company in Aus) sent out an OTA update for my phone. I'd already rooted my phone and had a custom recovery, so I knew I wasn't able to install it without going back to stock. So I tried following the procedure to go back to stock. Used 'Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.980.2' to do it and it seemed to work pretty well. It was 4.3, so I did an OTA, first one (like a 3mb file) installed fine, then the second one for 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 downloaded and installed, but not it is stuck in a boot loop. So I tried to do a factory reset from the bootloader which sent it back into the bootloop, then as nothing was working, I thought I'd install the custom recovery (TWRP) and install the ROM again and just leave it at that so at least I have a phone. Only problem is I had to unlock the bootloader again which wiped everything on the internal storage. And I'm stuck.
There's nothing in the internal memory. It's stuck in a bootloop after an OTA. I have TWRP installed as my recovery. I can access both recovery and bootloader.
Any idea's?
Also, for some reason, I can't download or access anything from this website; http://ww35.bugsylawson.com/ which I've seen used in multiple places to try and unbrick your phone
Thanks all!
