Hello all, I have a Verizon m7 in which I foolishly tried to install a custom kernel (ElementalX) on the stock rom. I can boot into CWM, so should I use the sideload utility to flash a rom like Cyanogenmod? I'd appreciate any help you may have. If you want, I can post other details about my phone as well.

you can just reflash the stock kernel... extract it from the ROM.ZIP which is Verizon compatible, and:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I was trying to flash a custom rom because I didn't like the att customized rom. I unlocked the bootloader thru htcdev.com and I used the All-In-One toolkit to flash CWM. Everything was fine and I was able to enter CWM. However, after I flashed the Android Revolution HD 6.0 rom, it just stucked at HTC screen. I am trying to enter the recovery and reflash the rom, but I cannot enter CWM anymore. It just disappeared and reboot. I can enter the bootloader. I tried to reflash CWM, but same thing happened. Please help :crying:

Happened to me too, I finally got into CWM again after locking my bootloader, unlocking it again. Still can't get it to boot, nor Sideload a ROM from ADB. :/

The good news is, if your phone powers on, you haven't "bricked" anything.
The bad news is, it sounds like you didn't back up your stock ROM and there's something hinky in how you flashed CWM the second time.
The better news is that you can restore the stock recovery image, and using that, you can reflash the stock ROM. This will put you back at square one, but rest assured that if you can power on your device, and you can get to fastboot, you haven't "bricked" anything.

Don't fastboot flash the recovery. fastboot boot the recovery image. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the good news! May I ask that where I can download the att stock rom and the stock recovery image? I can only find the european and asia version. Thanks
Did you happen to flash the correct boot.img that should have been supplied with the Rom? If not you have to flash it as well.
Hello guys, I need an help! I have reinstalled a 4.4.2 stock ROM on my phone, because I had some problems with ARHD 53.0, and decided to return stock waiting for 63.0. Anyways, I am curious about a thing. I have TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed on my phone, last firmware (4.19.401.11), stock kernel, rooted, last hboot, no fastboot option activated and, when I try to flash the stock recovery of 4.19.401.11, it always fails; it doesnt open but shows the warning red sign screen. Instead, I can install TWRP recovery without any problems. What is the reason for this? I always erase cache from fastboot before and after recovery flashing. thanks to everyone!

So the normal HTC stock recovery cant be used for flashing, etc? just for the OTA? Was just curious about, dont want to keep stock recovery but wondered about it
You need a custom recovery to flash any roms. Stock recovery is for OTA's. If you aren't worried about them I'd leave the custom recovery on

You always have a recovery.. that would be ODD to not have one.. Here is it http://d-h.st/Igg Thanks to @Guich
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.
so.. simple question but I'm not sure of the answer..
I unlocked my boot loader and flashed my HTC with cyanogenmod and the relevant boot.img that came with it. now I've reinstalled back to android revolution and the sense os to be able to properly back up my contacts and photos without requiring HTC sync manager...however when I went back to android revolution Rom.. I didn't 're flash my boot.img..
when is it actually necessary to flash a new boot.img when changing roms?
also.. could anyone clarify for me... I'm currently s-on so boot.img can only be flashed through fastboot correct?
and if I was s-off.. when I install a custom rom it'll auto install the boot.img yes?
thanks
Owen

/boot isn't protected on the M7 so you don't have to flash the boot.img after flashing a rom, its flashed at the same time the rom is flashed from recovery. Won't hurt if you flash it again but its not necessary. If you want to manually flash the boot.img you can do it from fastboot or from twrp recovery. There is an option from twrp to flash .img files to your /boot or /recovery partitions. So yes you can flash boot and recovery from recovery. In both cases, S-OFF isn't required, unlike other HTC phones.
Hi everyone, this question was asked already but I just want to make sure that it's safe to flash a 5.1 based ROM over a currently active Marshmallow ROM using TWRP using only the usual wipes? I remember that I had to flash a custom boot image with a PC or something like that in order for the custom recovery to work on my K3 Note, which I received with Marshmallow installed, so I'm not sure if I can hop back to 5.1 if phone never even had it installed. Any advice?

Yes, IT IS SAFE but there are some points to note:
Every Rom Zip contains a boot.img file which is also flashed when the zip is flashed.
You do not need to replace boot.img in order to install TWRP, but you need it to flash SuperSU.zip to your device or install xposed
Remember You need to wipe data partition (No need to wipe Internal) in order to continue.
Thanks for the reply. I don't know why, but I remember when I was installing TWRP I couldn't boot into it until I flashed a new boot image or something like that. All I could boot into was the stock recovery or something like that. I needed to use SP flash tools and flash something in order to get it to work. So it's safe for me to try 5.1 ROMs? They seem to be more stable than custom Marshmallow ROMs....

You must have flashed the recovery.img ( and also the boot.img) because my root methods mention them.
