I've been trying to flash a custom rom to my verizon HTC one, and have been getting stuck in a boot loop on every attempt.
ROMs I've tried:
CyanogenMod (m7 nightly 3/19)
ViperOne (5.8.0 and 5.7.0)
Currently running (and stable):
S-Off and Booloader Unlocked
stock radio
stock firmware
stock ROM (w/ root)
TWRP 2.7.0.0
CyanogenMod would boot, but then randomly reboot shortly afterward and was unable to recognize my SIM. Viper goes into a true boot loop, rebooting at the HTC splash screen (w/ red warning text). I have tried flashing each several times, wiping before each installation. Luckily, I have a backup of the current stable ROM, so I'll always be able to get out of a loop. I'm not new to unlocking and flashing ROMs but I've been using an HTC Thunderbolt until now (not losing my unlimited data, finally gave in and bought a used phone). I never had a problem on my old phone, but I feel like I might be missing something.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
EDIT: Tried Android Revolution HD 53.0, same result as Viper

You need to flash a verizon compatible rom.

I came across this in some of the research I was doing, and I realize that was a problem for Revolution, but Viper is listed as compatible. I would have originally asked on their thread, but I'm not allowed to post in that section yet and I wasn't able to find a similar post because the search isn't functioning right now.
The CM page said that build was compatible for multiple carriers, but I did try the m7vzw build and got an error during the installation that said I was using an m7 device.
EDIT: Problem solved, switched from TWRP to PhilZ CWM recovery, Viper booted successfully.

I have a problem I haven't heard of yet.
I have a Vivid, S-OFF, Boot and SIM unlocked running CM 10 Official Nightly with TWRP 2.4.3 on T-Mobile.
Every other day the phone won't boot, just stays on HTC screen. I pull the battery and boot into recovery but nothing in recovery works. I can't restore backups or wipe anything and it says it appears no OS is installed.
In order to get it running I have to install CWM recovery and restore a backup I made with CWM.
Then a day later it starts all over again.
No idea what is going on but it's extremely frustrating.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
A lot of us are having problems with twrp 2.4.3.0. You could try the older 2.4.2.0 or flash WCX recovery. Last resort might even be reinstalling and starting fresh after you flash the different recovery

I have a Sprint HTC One M7WLS, unlocked, S-ON, Clockwork Recovery.
The problems started with me flashing Revolution HD. I wasn't aware Revolution wasn't available for the WLS (Sprint) model, so I installed it as 'International + Non-listed Models'. The phone booted up into the ROM after installation, but with limited connectivity. The phone would reboot about a minute after loading. I wiped Cache, Dalvik, System, SDCard, Data (everything CWM allows me to format). Reinstalled a new ROM, still experienced reboot issue. The new ROM (TrickMod) gave me a 'Process System Not Responding' error, and then a reboot about thirty seconds after error. All ROMs are having wifi issues. In initial setup, if I'm able to get the keyboard to type in the WiFi Password, my device refuses to connect due to 'temporarily avoiding poor connection' error. I believe this may be the root of, or related to my problems. I get no cellular signal, and am unable to launch 'Activate Device' on any ROM. So far all the ROMs I've tried include:
Revolution HD, TrickMod, SuperNexus, and D3rp. Not all give the 'Process System Not Responding' error, but none of them can connect to WiFi, none can activate the device, and all of them reboot about a minute or two after boot.
Any ideas or solutions?

PS: Before flashing Revolution HD (my phone was still running on factory stock ROM), I used TWRP to backup all partitions. After Revolution HD, I attempted to restore all partitions, but the phone would boot up, error, and reboot as with all other ROMs that I tried after this. I installed CWM for TrickMod, SuperNexus, and D3rp so I could sideload ROMs (TWRP would hang on sideload, and I can't boot into the system to transfer ROMs to the sdcard).

Edit: I also wiped Dalvik and Cache and Fixed Permissions after ROM install. Still erroring out.
CM 10.1
We can add CM 10.1 to the list of ROMs that don't work.
Have you tried the Ruu?

I downloaded the RUU. Using the All-in-One Toolkit informed me I needed to relock my device and restore stock recovery. I haven't done either of those things yet. I don't know how to reinstall stock recovery.
What exactly does the RUU do though?
Have you tried to flash a stock kernal as suggested above?
I haven't used the toolkit but I read it will relock the bootloader for you. The stock recovery will be flashed during the Ruu process.

Don't many of these ROMs flash their own kernels?
It's my understanding I'll need an unsecure boot.img to flash a stock kernel.
How do I unsecure my boot.img?
Where can I find stock kernel download?
Yes, the roms flash a kernal. Have you tried any of the sprint specific roms since this started happening? I would suggest you try one of viperboys roms.

All ROMs have been found on Sprint HTC One Development forums. Except Revolution HD, which I installed as 'International' since 'Sprint' wasn't an option. That's when everything went foul, including my Nandroid restores. This leads me to believe a botched install of Revolution is the cause of my problems.
I'm downloading Viper for Sprint One right now, give it a go.
Just tried Tranquility, still got reboot issues.
If Viper doesn't work, I'm going to try the RUU. RUU will flash stock kernel, correct?
RUU Worked!

RUU worked! Lovely! So happy!
I'm going to install a ROM now and mess it all up again xD
Thanks everyone!
I'm glad you got it figured out.
I am very new to the entire rooting side of android and my first try at getting a custom rom went bad.
I have an htc one international variant. I successfully rooted it. After rooting i tried installing a custom rom called Android_Revolution_HD-One_62.0, which once installed via 'recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7' gave the installation prompts. after following them it just gets stuck in an endless boot loop alternating between htc logo screen and few seconds of clockwork mod screen.
I cleared all data, and cache before trying to install the above mentioned rom,
I made a backup of my stock version using the backup feature on clockwork mod but after failing with the custom rom, i tried to restore the back up but it gave me md5 mismatch issue.
So now I can't fix that issue on my phone and neither is the adb commands able to find my device to fix the md5 mismatch.
Please help me anyway possible.
Thank you

The ARHD thread says you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery for 62.0. Try installing that, full wipe then reflash.

I am trying that out right now but it seems to always get stuck on the 'entering recovery' screen. I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3 and erased cache after, but still this happens.
Hi,
I got my brother's old HTC One M7 and tried to flash the ROM.
I have experience with Samsung Devices so I figured it worked the same way.
I install cyanogenmod using their installer. It worked, but dreadfully slow (slower than the stock rom).
So I downloaded Android Revolution 53.0, put in the /Downloads folder and went into recover and tried to install from zip.
It appeared as if the installation went through, and now the phone is stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
I can go into HBOOT, FASTBOOT, RECOVERY.. But I can't seem to get past it.
Just went into recovery and see "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
Please help!
Thanks.
First question....what version recovery are you using
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
To revive this thread.
So, I was able to figure out the original problem or at least get around it.
For whatever reason Android Revolution HD wouldn't install despite trying to flash the ROM using TWRP or CWM recovery.
I was able to get CyanogenMod and LiquidSmooth to work without issues.
I later used a Nandroid backup of a Bell Mobility (CID BM____001) and return it to "stock" JB.
I'm trying to get KIT KAT on it, I get the OTA update notification, but after it initiates the installation, device reboots into my custom recovery.
So, I tried to flash the stock BM recovery, and BM Stock KitKat install starts, but then I get a teal and pink screen back to back and get stuck on the HTC / Beats screen.
Any help is appreciated.
OK, your first problem sounds like you didnt flash the Boot.img first through fastboot, before trying to install the ARHD Rom, extract it from the zip file you downloaded and flash it through fastboot, then flash the rom, I believe Sense Roms (ARHD) will not work on non sense rom boots like CyanogenMod.
Post 3 problem is you need to install the stock recovery first.
Thanks for the quick response.
I've gotten further than where I was about an hour ago.
I realized when I flashed the stock recovery for BM_001, it was an older version (mismatched my ROM).
I flashed the the stock recovery version of my stock ROM, and I was able to get KIT KAT.
Now, it's doing a 2nd OTA update to get SENSE 6.
Will post update as soon as it's done. Hopefully it's successful.
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.
