Hi all,
I was having some issues sideloading a ROM in TWRP 2.6.3.4, but eventually was able to adb push the ROM in (ViperOne 5.0.0). After that, I got an install failed (which is bad in and of itself, as I have no OS installed currently) and told me to try installing TWRP 2.6.3.3, which I did from it's Aroma menu, and now my phone will not enter into recovery at all! I've tried 2.6.3.4, 2.6.3.3, and now just tried 2.6.3.0.
Any help at all would be extremely appreciated, I may have broken my phone here, and am really worried.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I can get 2.6.3.4 working and running, but anything under 2.6.3.4 will not work anymore, even though I just had 2.6.3.0 working on there.
If you can boot to TWRP, either use adb push or adb sideload
fastboot erase cache

Make sure you're using the right recovery for you phone; I didnt know ViperOne had recoveries in installer, but I think ViperOne is compatible with GSM and CDMA phones, if that is true, then 2.6.3.3 and .4 are for GSM and 2.6.3.0 is probably for CDMA (Sprint)
I would also recommend flashing recovery yourself using fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
making sure you get the correct TWRP for you phone model.

Yeah I had found a 2.6.3.4 for Sprint that I flashed manually before, and that worked fine as far as starting the recovery up and everything. But, it couldn't install ViperOne correctly, and so ViperOne has an option in the Aroma installer to install a recovery, and since I had never found a 2.6.3.3 file to manually flash, but was on 2.6.3.4 I never even thought that it may not be a recovery built for my phone and it messed everything up.
That's the last time I'm gonna let anything install stuff for me, I always prefer the manual way. I suggest the auto flashers and installers to people like my mom who only really wants root for a certain few features, but I'm usually a manual guy.
Luckily, the RUU worked and I was able to get ViperOne installed on 2.6.3.0.... Sad thing is that's the same recovery I was running before this entire fiasco haha. What a night for me.

I just got my new HTC One M6 and now I can't get it rooted. Additionally, I seem to have messed up the internal storage because I get errors when I try to do anything in TWRP and I can't get supersu to install in twrp either. I can't even get anything to show up in any of the folders while in recovery.
Here's info on my phone and what I've done so far:
1) T-mobile, hboot v1.56
2) got unlock token from htcdev and unlocked successfully
3) flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery using Squabbi's HTC One Toolkit.
4) tried to install supersu using the toolkit and then tried putting supersu.zip on the sdcard manually. Neither worked and resulted in lots of error messages in TWRP.
4) tried to wipe data and everything else but this failed too.
5) tried to make a log file in twrp and this failed
Attached in this e-mail is a screenshot of the error messages i get in twrp when trying to wipe. Any ideas on what I can do to fix the internal storage so I can actually root my htc one?

The HTC One in an M7 .. the toolkit you used flashed a very old recovery
you need to learn to use adb and fastboot and not a toolkit
flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 from here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
use this SuperSU (flash it in recovery)
http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip
Do a hard reset of you phone by holding power + vol down for 15 seconds in a will lit room until it reboots to the bootloader
OK, I'll give this a shot. Thanks!

I've spent over 6hrs researching videos, guides and I've buggered it right up now.
Used Hasoon2000 All-in-one tool to unlock bootloader, which I eventually done. Installed TWRP through the AIO tool and Perm root. Got the Super SU app, checked root and all WAS fine.
Then decided to flash ViperOne rom, went to TWRP and selected zip file and chose what to install. Install went on for a while and then failed due to 'Error 7'.
I stupidly never made a backup through TWRP before trying to install ViperOne and now I'm stuck between TWRP recovery or the bootloader.
What do I do.... :crying::crying::crying::crying:

If you used those toolkits you most likely have really old versions of recovery and root
try this
from fastboot USB
Flash recovery TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then sideload this Rom to your phone
http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_71.1.zip
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

Thanks SOOOO much. Updated TWRP and flashed Android Revolution and it's now back on hanks again
Lesson learned , backup from now on incase.
Thanks again :good::good:
I have TWRP 2.7.1.1 installed on my M7 but would like to downgrade to TWRP 2.6.3.3, is it safe to flash the new recovery image with fastboot and will the backups I made with 2.7.1.1 be backwards compatible with 2.6.3.3?
The reason I want to do this is to re-flash the new modified firmware on my device so it displays properly in the bootloader screen and because 2.6.3.3 reads all of the partitions properly.
Thanks.

Appreciate it. I have already flashed back to 2.6.3.3 and reflashed firmware to get the OS to show up in the bootloader. Worked perfectly.
Hi,
I just got a brand new HTC One 7 (WWE, CID E_11) after my last one died. Im trying to root it and install a custom recovery to install arhd or insertcoin. I used htc one toolkit for this. Everything seemed to work ok, but after booting the installed rom (ARHD or insertcoin) the phone reboots after i see the login screen. I somehow managed to reinstall my phone again yesterday, as it was a complete (soft) brick.
I used this to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759000
Now does anyone know why I get a reboot loop? Does anyone know if i installed this stock rom if I get the normal OTA updates again? And do i need to relock the bootloader for this? I would really like to install stock roms again but I'm a little anxious after yesterday. (I've installed custom roms since the old HD2/HTC desire, and also on my old HTC One M7, never had any problems, I think it has to do with the Hboot).
Hoping to hear from you guys,
best wishes,
Olaf

Flash the stock firmware 5.11.401.10! I think your firmware is mismatched.
By flashing the firmware after installing the Rom I might fix the bootloop? Or is the stock firmware necesarry to go back to stock? Sorry bit confused, thanks for your response btw

Flashing the firmware might fix the boot-loop, since you flashed the stock rom! If it does stop the boot-loops, you can re-install TWRP or CWM to get the custom recovery.

when using a sense custom rom you need to make sure you use twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery, do not use the toolkits, most of the time they are out of date and not updated, this would explain the bootloops, take the time to learn how to use adb and fastboot, you'll never look back.
nothing to do with the firmware and no need to flash it, if your firmware was knackered, you would have a hard brick.

First of all thanks for the quick response. I know how to use adb and fastboot (at least I think).
If i would (in this order) do the following, would that be correct?:
unlock using htdev
Flash twrp 2.6.3.3 using fastboot command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (naming twrp 2.6.3.3.img = recovery.img)
reboot bootloader
Flash SuperSU.zip in TWRP
reboot twrp
flash custom rom (ARHD).
The thing is it isn't a normal bootloop (which normally would come with the HTC logo all the time)
It reboots when I try to setup the phone (in the setup menu). Restoring the phone with the link in the OP, ive recoverd my phone, but I would still love to use custom roms again.

unlock using HTC Dev
flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery
no need to flash super user it will be included in the rom you flash
flash custom rom, or stock reset rom, if its not rooted, twrp will ask you if you would like to root upon exit.

It seems that insertcoin had a problem in it's installer:
http://insertcoin-roms.org/category/devices/one_m7/one_sense6/
the changelog says: Fixed SuperSU install (might solve the sudden reboot issue in SetupWizard)
It left me without any rom to install, so i had to sideload ARHD, which it didnt want to install via sideload... The next step I isntalled stock again, which I'm using right now.. but I miss xposed framework and other tweaks too much..
I'm gonna try to unlock it again this afternoon and install insertcoin again, but this time ill make a backup first. Does installing the recovery wipe anything?

no it doesn't wipe anything, but you can use xposed and its tweaks on stock rom, you just need to root first, just install TWRP, enter recovery and again upon exit it will offer to root stock rom for you.
Hey guys,
Terribly sorry if this is a common question, but after two days of searching and being unable to use my phone, I decided to post instead.
I have previously succesfully installed Cyanogen on my HTC One, using CWM. After talking to some family and friends, I decided to try out ARHD instead, as it seemed more fitting to my needs.
I download the zip, flash it from CWM, but I constantly get the error "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" at end of installation. I am able to continue and install seems succesful, but I can never boot past the inital white screen HTC logo. I searched for info on this, and some reported it might be due to outdated recovery. However, I have tried with CWM 6.0.4.8 and I am currently running 6.0.4.6 Touch, but no luck with either version.
At one point, I also soft-bricked my phone. I were able to flash new recovery, but had to reset my SD card and I also lost all backups. Somehow the phone booted up in Cyanogen after this, and I were able to download a zip for ARHD 81. I tried flashing this, got "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" and I am now unable to boot my phone again.
I have tried pushing and sideloading, however neither seems to work. Since there's no progress bar for pushing, I had to be patient, but after two hours without result I have to assume it's not working. Sideloading always gets stuck at either 3% or 8%, I can't seem to find a cause for this.
I really hope you guys might be able to work out a fix for this issue with me, as I've reached a dead end.
Unlock
I have also unlocked the phone with HTCDev unlock tool, so that should be fine.

ARHD requires TWRP Recovery
download TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
then flash it
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now your rom will install without error
Alright. I have tried installing TWRP, but I always came up with errors booting into TWRP. I got it working once, but at that point in time I didn't have the ROM zip on my phone... I'll try it out asap and get back. Thanks.
That did it. Honestly I feel a little silly at this point, but I wish it were mentioned in the main ARHD thread that you needed TWRP, since in the "You Need" section, it simply requires a custom recovery.
I'd never seen the fastboot erase cache command before, so that helped out a lot getting TWRP working
Thank you so much!
