Okay so basically yesterday I got my lovely spanking HTC ONE (m7) and quickly proceeded to downloading the One_All-In-One_Kit, uncloked the bootloader and rooted the phone successfully.
I then proceeded to download ARHD and flash it accordingly, everything went swimmingly, the ROM installed via Aroma as it should, yep all nice and dandy. NO! After the installation, I rebooted, get to the HTC bootscreen, I'm presented with a nice new red message at the bottom and then the phone restarts itself, tries to enter recovery, that doesn't work, then it tries booting up again and does the same thing over and over.
I've flashed the ROM several times and get the same thing each time. I've tried RGUI and get the same sort of thing with that only with RGUI the phone doesn't try rebooting into recovery it just stays on the HTC bootscreen.
I'm desperate for help on this so please, if anyone has any insight it would be highly appreciated.
I hope you're not also flashing any of the custom kernels on here....cos they're not compatible with 4.2.2
Nope not flashing anything else but the ROM itself..
after flashing did you try "fastboot erase cache" ?
sometimes that helps when phones get stuck on the HTC logo after a rom flash.
Use the toolkit to erase cache

Yeah done that several times too. Can't seem to work out why it isn't working and I too can't find the correct RUU for my device meaning I can't even take it back to stock
try to hold power + volume down to get into the bootloader to get back into recovery. Once in recovery factory reset, erase cache, erase dalvik, and reflash the rom.
also download the andorid SDK for fastboot and adb, then try "adb reboot bootloader" if you can not get back into the bootloader to get into recovery
My friend had his do this loop as well, we had trouble getting it into recovery, but held the button combo of power and vol down several times (probably 10) and it FINALLY booted into the custom Clockwork recovery, then we reflashed and it worked like a charm.
Also try redownloading... it could be a bad download

Just a word of advice. Update your profile to say your country and carrier. It helps people identify which device model and carrier you use.
Thanks for the help so far guys, basically I can get into recovery, that's not the problem, the problem is the phone gets stuck on the HTC screen after the ROM has been installed. I'll try downloading the ROM again when I can, in the hope that it is just a bad download. Hopefully this is the case and re-flashing a newly downloaded ROM will solve all my issues.
I'll post back with the result as and when I can.

I would be restoring my nandroid backup and make sure the phones that way first and then start again
Thanks again for the help guys, went to phones 4 u this afternoon and he exchanged the device for me.
Okay, so I decided to screw around with my HTC One again, and ended up trying the new Cyanogenmod installer. Needless to say, I have screwed my phone up worse than ever and I have no idea how to get it back. It is stuck in bootloader, I can't go into recovery or reboot or even power off. It just keeps rebooting to bootloader. I tried the RUU, but it comes back with an error that the image version isn't correct, and I tried flashing another recovery, but i still can't get into recovery. Right now, I am sitting in my bootloader with nothing to boot into. I can use ADB however, just please help me.

I bought a VS980 last week and have been trying to flash a new recovery ever since. It is rooted, but when I try to reboot into recovery, the phone reboots and as soon as the LG splash shows up, the phone turns off. Not reboots, or freezes, or boot-loop, but just turns off. I have followed several different methods of flashing from different articles/guides i have found but all have the same effect. I have done a factory reset twice and tried to start fresh, but have the same result. I have done several options of using ADB Push to flash the recovery and I have tried to use, CWM, TWRP, Flashify, RomToolBox Pro, and GooManager apps to flash into recovery but I always have the same result. Phone reboots, LG Splash shows up for just a second, then the phone turns off.
I am about out of ideas. Please help!

Are you running JB or KK?
JB - Download flashify from the market and let it handle flashing the recovery
KK - Follow the directions here, steps 5-8 if you're already rooted and on 24A. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958

Well I spoke too soon. I followed the guide in from the link, which did in fact allow me to reboot into TWRP, however, the phone seems to have been bricked in the process. I unless I use the hardware keys to reboot into recovery, the phone boots up completely blank. The screen is on, but it is black. I have tried to revert back to stock but I have not been able to. I followed all the directions found here:

Please can you describe anything that's going wrong? I.e. Can you access downloader mode?, Is your port set to COM41 (Note it does not set it automatically)?, Anything else that would give us an idea where the reverting back to stock process is going wrong?

Sure. I do not know if I am able to reach Fastboot or not. I can get into TWRP Recovery and request Fastboot, as well as hold the Up-Volume buttons on start, but the screen comes on blank after the LG icon goes away.
I can not see the device from my File Explorer in Windows. I have tried to remove each of the 3 devices that appear in my Device Manager and re-install them with the most recent drivers for my phone, which seems to work, but then I still cannot connect to it. The computer recognizes that a device has connected, but I guess I do not know how to transfer files if not through File Explorer or an ADB push.
I have tried to use ADB push but I cannot see any ADB Devices. Within TWRP, I have tried to use ADB Sideload, but the message '//twrp/backups/086c8bd70b935975' not found comes up and so it gets stuck on "starting ADB Sideload feature...."
When I use the "Mount" option in TWRP, Only Data and Cache is selected. I can select System, but I am not able to select USB-OTG
When trying to use the LG Flash Tool (and tried to change every port to 41 for each device I found in Device Manager), it fails with "Model: Unknown"..."device Model is different!"..."Check Phone or DLL!"...."00000000"
I think there were some other things tried too but that is all I can think of at the moment.

Well new update: I was able to fix it! The problem was my own ignorance. I was following some Googl'd instructions to get the device into download mode that were incorrect. Once I saw the correct ones, I was able to get into Download Mode and revert to stock from there.
Hey guys, Im fairly new to this stuff, but I got a question or two, it may take me a day to reply so i'll try to put as much info as posible.
Now recently I received the OTA 4.20 (Lolipop) on my phone, so I flashed my stock recovery to download the OTA, making me reroot my phone.
So my phone is re-rooted (after 2 tries) but now it seems like I cant write to my SD card, so I got fed up and went into TWRP recovery and selected wipe data and restore. (Restore point was before I got lolipop) I try to reboot but it takes me as far as HTC One screen. Next I go to recovery and try a factory reset, says its successful, but it lied to me! Still stuck at HTC One screen. So I flash back to stock recovery to try the factory reset with that, it went for a moment, then tried to boot, getting stuck at HTC one screen again, so once more, I flash TWRP to my phone in attempt to get the recovery back, but now I can't load recovery, or boot. So Im stuck there. Is there any advice to what to do from here? I tried command 'fastboot erase cache' thinking that would do something and reflashing the recovery.img but it's still not working. I hope someone can help me.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
The reason you can't write to your SD card isn't because of lollipop, that was actually added but on kit Kat, but the devs went and added a line of code to a file to allow it again. I am currently running my stock rooted, built from decrypted ruu, originally I wasn't able to but I added that one line of code. I believe all you have to do is flash a stock rooted and SD card write should be enabled. As for not being able to get into recovery or boot at all, boot to bootloader and ruu then flash twrp.
Ok so correct me if im doing something wrong, but I flashed the stock recovery in attempt to factory reset it, it wont work, so I flash TWRP with command line (Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) And it's 'successful' but it wont load, it will attempt to load but one second in and it goes back to fastboot, how to I move forward from here?
Edit: so idiot me did it again, I was trying to install M7 version into a m8. Resolved, Now I can enter recovery again.
Alright, so now my only problem is now that it wont boot normally, it freezes at HTC one screen. I have access to TWRP recovery, just not sure what to do next from here.

I actually just unlocked my bootloader yesterday, installed TWRP today, and had what I thought was the same. The thing is, let it sit. Mine sat at the HTC ONE screen for what seemed to be between 5 and 10 minutes. I read that it happens in one of these threads.
But I let it sit and it eventually went to "Android is Upgrading" and was loading the apps.

Ok thanks, I'll post back in 20 minutes with an update.
So i've waited about 20 minutes on the HTC one screen, (Still on it as I post this) It is still stuck on it. I dont know if this helps but im able to view my internal and external card via computer cable, but I only see folders, no files of any kind in any of them..
Edit* I WAS able to read it, now I can't.
I GOT IT! I was able to revert to a backup I made. Even though I gotta flash stock again for OTA but F it! I got it working again. Thanks for all your help!
okay, i had a slim rom running on my fire (5.1.1) and tried to go to cm12 using flashfire. i made sure that wipe was at the top of the list. it got stuck on installing the new rom, so after 30 minutes i restarted tablet. i got stuck in the cm logo bootloop. i do still have access to the amazon stock recovery. tried to do a data wipe/factory reset. still stuck at logo bootloop. i tried to sideload the amazon stock bin file, but it stops after 5 seconds and says "failed to read command: invalid argument" and goes back to the recovery main menu. if you try to do another sideload, it instantly says "timed out waiting for package. installation aborted" before you even press anything. have to restart device to try sideloading again.
at one point i had it almost install cm12 from a zip file through sideload, but at the very end it gave me a signature verification fail. since i can't boot the phone, i can't turn on usb debugging. sometimes it'll show up in the device manager as mtp but never shows up as fire or android device or any of that. it will show up on adb devices command when its in fastboot, but can't do anything with it from there. i've tried all the different ways in the forums here and rootjunky, but nothing seems to work at all. any ideas if i'm doing something wrong or is this just bricked, regardless of stock recovery?
tried a few commands to see if i could fastboot one of the roms or stock images, but they all tell me its missing the android-info.txt

i started trying to get it going, but got the same results. eventually the battery died and it doesn't want to charge anymore, so hopefully i'm still under warranty. thanks for all the help though, been a reader here for a really long time. just sucks to get a hard brick for the first time. used a droid x for four years straight with a locked bootloader and never came across a problem like this

I fear I'm in the same boat. Which version of flash fire were you using?
Any further progress?
