[Q] Problems with custom rom HTC one

I know there are a million posts about this, but I have been through them all trying to follow the guidance because the problems seemed to be the same as others have faced, but I feel differently now....
I unlocked my HTC one, following the htc dev site.
I installed TWRP (I cannot for the life of me get CWM to load into reovery, it only reboots the phone...)
loaded the roms/Super SU onto the SD card.
I know my phone is rooted (or i should assume?) because SuperSU is requiring me to grant access to apps and such.
I flash the custom ROM to the phone, install the package following Revolutions steps. Complete installation, return to fastboot menu. Flash boot.img, clear cache and reboot phone....Phone goes to the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen, with the development message at the bottom and continues to reboot over and over and over from there.
What did I do wrong?
I know pretty much have a phone that wont work because even after restoring it, it is ina boot loop after it fully boots up and nothing is loading correctly. Is there any way to start this from scratch?
Notes:
I tried doing an ADB sideload of Revolution HD.
I do a factory wipe before i load any rom....
Edit:
I have tried multiple ROMS...all the same effect....
I also get the message after installing the ROM from TWRP that "your device is not rooted, swipe to install superSU" so sometimes i swipe it, sometimes i dont...either way same result.
Update #2:
I flashed a ROM called 42ONE....it ended up successfully booting past the HTC screen and is currently updating the android system...However, it will operate for about 2 minutes then the phone reboots like it was before when i tried to restore....what the heck?!?

There is no need to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Just flash the rom from twrp.

Download the rom again (might be a bad download), transfer to your sdcard, do a full wipe, and flash again. Something you flashed has created a conflict.
Edit: That's a Sprint ROM. Do you have a Sprint phone? If you've been flashing GSM roms, that's your problem there.

[Q] Stuck at CM recovery after accepting newest official software update

Hi, device is rooted, and clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.5 installed.
ROM is JB, the official update from LG. Today device reported there is an update to the installed firmware.
I rebooted in CM recovery, took a nandroid backup, booted, and accepted to download the official update to my official JB rom. After downloading I was asked to reboot (in order to install), and the phone reboots to the CM recovery.
From there I don't know what to do. I have tried rebooting, but again find myself to the CM recovery. I have tried "reboot to bootloader" and get stuck at the LG boot screen logo with the message "Now Ready!" in tiny white letters on the upper left corner.
I would try "install zip" but I don't know where the downloaded update is (if it even is in an acceptable zip format)
Phone isn't bricked, I guess I can always restore from the recently taken backup, but I really would like to know if there is a way to install this update.
Thank you

You're right, but you know, sometimes you just can't nail the right keywords especially if its not your native language. I searched, but obviously not good enough.

Sadly, this seems to be the case.. bummer.
Thanks everyone

Not even my nandroid backup can help me get to where I was before? So much for nandroid being the ultimate backup, a "snapshot image" of the device...
So, what if, I use CM recovery to install a custom rom, and then restore from my nandroid backup (being the official JB) ?

Flash with kdz flasher original ROM then flash cwm you can put back your backup. I think the problem starts that the update pushes something in the boot section that is expecting an other (read original) recovery . when you installed cwm it boots up cwm so that's why an nandroid backup doesn't work I think ( to be honest I'm not 100% sure this is correct)

I can't even flash cyanogenmod???
I downloaded latest stable build, copied it to sd card, selected it from the CM recovery ("install zip"), installed fine, reboot, still stuck at CM recovery!!!
What gives?

Have you yet followed the advice and installed the KDZ?

Trying to avoid that, as it seems too much work for a phone that was working fine, and stuck to recovery due to some silly boot flag or something.
Saw it as a chance to try cyanogenmod. But it seems having CM recovery and the cyanogenmod rom on the sd card won't cut it! Talk about failure..

I don't think you will have a choice. If you created the nandroid backup on your SD card then you aren't going to lose it, so just flash the KDZ, root again and install your backup, or accept the LG update and rebuild all your software again.

Yes, one thing is for sure. I had to install the KDZ to be able to proceed with anything..
It's just funny having a working CWM recovery and a cyanogen rom on the device and after flashing it, still not having a device that boots. A "recovery"/flash tool, should be able to "recover" from such a situation..

You can't blame the recovery. It is clearly stated many, many times that you should never attempt an official OTA update with a non-standard (rooted or recovery installed) device. On other devices you could even hard-brick AFAIK, so consider yourself lucky that you only had to reflash a KDZ and start again.

For restoring stock rom use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682146 I can confirm it works and it is (very) easy.

Yes that's what I used and I also confirm it works and is very easy.

[Q] Nothing present after custom ROM install

I have spent a day and a half trying to fix all of my issues before I finally turned here but I am at my wits end.
This all started with my attempt to flash Viper to my HTC one. I installed clockwork touch loaded Viper to the drive and went to install. During the install process something happened and my install failed. When I rebooted the phone it returned to the fasboot screen and there was no recovery present. I had heard that sometimes TWRP works better for installing some ROMs so I decided to switch courses and try that. Before installing I went and formatted cache, data, ect. When I tried to install Viper this time it appeared to be a successful install. However, I was once again I was returned to the fastboot screen and no recovery was present. I tried this a few more times with either clockwork or TWRP using sideload with no luck. I also trried using fastboot to flash a sprint stock recovery boot and image. When the phone rebooted it showed the white HTC Screen but nothing happened for a half hour so I restarted the phone again only to be dropped into the fastboot. I also tried locking and unlocking the boot loader and tried a Sprint HTC one RUU with no success.
So at this moment this is where I stand:
I am on the fastboot screen with no recovery.
HBOOT 1.56.0000
S-ON
Any help you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for your time.

So I have my phone up an running on a stock RUU but I seem to have the same issues with and error when installing Viper. Any ideas as to what the issue could be?

... now that its up and running, i recommend you get s-off 1st. it eases many things. then flash twrp 2.7.0.4 recovery and try to flash viper :victory: ...

I was in this situation myself. If you can adb twrp recovery onto your phone. Dont try to flash viper with cwm it will mess stuff up. After you have a recovery loaded flash the viper rom. If it boots up be sure to check about phone section in the settings and see if there is a baseband version present. If not just flash the latest firmware and you should be good to go. This was what i had to do.

Same here, about a month ago. They really need to just remove that option to flash CWM. I managed to get a recovery installed, but now it seems like half the ROMs I try to flash won't boot. I don't even know what Rom I am using, because it has disappeared from XDA. It's a 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 ROM, and it is odexed and came with Xposed Installer. It's the only ROM that seems to work anymore, so I have to wonder if my firmware got messed up. I'm S-On, with no way to S-off for the foreseeable future until I can fix my laptop. Since my laptop is unavailable, I'm a bit hesitant to mess with the phone much more, since I can't fix it again without the computer.

I've read a number of these threads, and many have Viper in common. Viper by itself is an amazing ROM. Maybe too amazing... Incredible amount of customization. I have to remind myself occasionally that as much as I flash ROMs and lurk around here that I am not a dev.
I would do my best to achieve S-OFF if you have any plans for custom ROMs. It's always useful. I would also suggest trying one of the Sense 6 ROMs. They are all amazing.

S-OFF is necessary for some ROMs to work, although I'm not sure about Viper. Use firewater.

I am very sorry I know this is a slow response. So I tried to first root my phone so I could use firewater but I ran into issues. First, I tried to place supersu on the internal hard drive via windows but when I rebooted into recovery I was not able to find any of the folders I had access to. So i tried using side load but got errors that I could not mount cache and could not mount system. Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?

[Q] ROM flash gone wrong. HTC one M7

Hi,
Looking for some help from you guys if possible. I have have been flashing Android HD Roms by Mike1986 for some time now on my HTC One (M7). Last updated to HD-One_91.1 to upgrade to Lollipop. Experienced very poor battery performance so looked to flash back to an earlier Kitkat version. Instead of flashing a previous one, I thought i'd give the Google 6.1_GE a go and see what that was like.
Big problems. Phone kept getting stuck in boot loop - so eventually i decided to wipe the phone and start again. Now when I switch phone on It boots into the start screen for Goggle edition then reboots constantly.
As I wiped the patition, I do not have the option to reinstall even the Lolipop ROM.
My phone wont stay on long enough to copy another ROm over. so Im stuck with a pjone that keeps switiching off before I can do anything with it.
I use TWRP recovery but when i try Factory reset etc, same problem occurs.
How can I get another compatible ROM onto the phone or am I stuck with a knackered phone?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

Your phone must be s-off to use this rom like said in the OP. Also said that your phone WILL bootloop if you flash it without having s-off.
Android Revolution HD 6.1
Google Edition
You need S-OFF, otherwise you'll experience boot-loop!
You can't use ART with deodexed custom ROM
You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!

Boot in recovery (twrp), push a rom to your phone using adb push, adb sideload or MTP (MTP only available on newer twrp versions) and then flash the rom.

Stuck on fastboot and recovery with hboot 1.61 S-On

My HTC One is currently unlocked at hboot 1.61, S-On, with ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.6 installed. no carriers
I have a backup of the stock rom before I install any roms, and I have install SU to my device afterwards.
I was intended to install Insertcoin 7.1.3 rom, I did a factory reset/wipe caches and then install the rom via clockworkmod.
However, my device does not boot into the custom but reboot will automatically 'entering in recovery' instead,
perhaps that was to do with the S-On, or it's a failed rom I got?
Anyway, I tried to restore the stock rom backup I did, it said restore completed but it reboot into recovery still...
Now I can only able to access fastboot and recovery, I tried download and put in the by using "mounts and storage" -> "mount USB storage" on ClockworkMod, but it won't let me as it does not appear on my Windows 10 as it usually should.
Can anyone help me to solve this mystery? Ideally, I would like to get back to stock rom at least...
I only had experience on rooting from my Desire HD(retired), there's a sdcard to storage roms back then...
What I've got now is:
- a backup from clockworkmod, and I didn't copy to my PC
- a stock rom and kernel, I downloaded from internet and HTC webpage.
- a InsertCoin rom for m7
I have did some research on similar issue previously, but doesn't seems to help me out. if anyone knows the same issue has been addressed and solved in some posts, please don't hesitate to feed me with those posts, as I could have missed them by struggling on reading foreign language for the entire evening...
lastly, if i did anything idiotic through that process, please don't judge my stupidity

Change your recovery to TWRP and flash away. If you read Insercoin thread, you would see that TWRP is recomended recovery. And that means you will loose your backup

Thanks for the reply, the backup is what holds me back from doing anything risky unless someone suggest me to do so, but I did risk of losing the backup and flashed TWRP. I have now successfully install InsertCoin rom, the sacrifice of the backup is well worthy. Well, at least my device can work properly, not much to lose. Doesn't seems like a big issue after all.
I also found out the problem was cause by the clockworkmod recovery. If I flashed TWRP in the first place, I could have kept a backup for my stock rom.
Anyway, a BIG thanks for your help! :good:

You're dead right regarding recoveries! Now, all you need to do is make a backup of your ROM in TWRP for future mishaps and enjoy[emoji6]
And you're very welcome. I'm glad I could be of help
