HTC ROM install issues (Noob Alert)

I followed the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 and I unlocked the phone I installed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631499 I then noticed that I messed up b/c the phone kept getting stuck at the "HTC" screen it wont even get to the boot screen. Afterwards I followed the steps here (except the S-off):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
Then I did a full wipe and flashed the virtuous rom again and still the same results. I know I definitely messed up. I've spent a few hours reading and researching but due to my lack of experience I cannot figure out 1)how to reverse my problem and 2)how to fix it if possible. I am still able to get to CWM Recovery. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Did you extract the boot.IMG from the ROM and flash it via fastboot?

The Most caused reason why your vivid is stuck on the white screen is because you flashed a wrong kernel or no kernel at all with the right rom
You need to relock bootloader Run the stock ruu unlock bootloader flash recovery then a kernel then go into recovery and flash the rom with an sd card

[Q] Sprint HTC One Bricked

So, I was trying to put the Google Edition rom on my HTC One for Sprint. I had the right rom and everything. I noticed Wi-Fi wasn't working so I took it off and tried to go back to stock and then I noticed that the version on my phone (1.31.651.2) was higher than the version on the RUU. I have no OS installed on my phone and every time I try to flash a rom, it tells me I'm unrooted. Then, when I'm prompted to install superuser, it just reboots. I am now stuck in bootloader and recovery. I have absolutely no clue what to do. I have S-on as well. Please help!

All I can think of is to use this stock ROM here based on the 1.31 firmware and use the adb flash method. But I'm not sure if that would work as flashing .img's from adb would require S-OFF. Then again I am a bit new here, and others with more experience could chip in and then I may learn from it as well.

From bootloader use this tool to sideload a rom. (download the rom you want).

Also after doing that you can follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821 to use the 1.29 RUU if needed.

I just tried to use the program but it always says error: closed. Also, in recovery, it doesn't let me open sideload. It always fails. Again, whenever I try to flash a rom, it tells me I'm not rooted and it fails to install. There is really no RUU for version 1.31.651.2? I've been without my One for over a week :'( I'm going nuts lol

You need to s off. You get a lot more options for recovering from things like this. The thread is in one of the development forums here. Use moonshines method or download the all in one tool and use revone. It's really easy. Then you should be able to RUU back to stock and reroot.

I want to thank you guys for helping me first and foremost but I could not get revone on my phone and I couldn't do moonshine either. Moonshine ended in an error and revone requires root which somehow I don't have. I don't think there is any way I can get s-off

If its not done can you use the all in one tool to dev unlock and flash a recovery. Then you could either sideload a rom or try this method to RUU back to 1.29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821

Whenever I try to sideload to use revone, it fails and tells me to reboot. Trying to flash superuser or any type of rom also fails. I'm somehow unrooted, and when I try to use the command prompts to get S-off, when I put in the "echo.." command, it says there's is an error

From recovery try to perform restore..it should work instead of rebooting.
Or u cn go back to stock firmware d base version of it
Nd do double check that it supports ur device model.

Ok so you need to do the following
Dev Unlock http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Then Flash a recovery with this tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814
Try a rom like the following based on 1.31 and sideload with above tool.

If your still haveing trouble then thry to flash the 1.29 RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821
If you follow this you should have no trouble getting back up and running. If you do use the RUU then maybe also follow my guide and get s-off to avoid future problems.

I have no clue how to do it, though. I used adb push to get superuser on my phone and when I try to install it, it fails. I'm not sure if I'm pushing it to the wrong folder or what. How would you be rooting it?

Try sideloading through TWRP a stock rooted Rom
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

So I recently accidentally wiped my internal storage which pretty much bricked my phone. I was rooted with S=on and custom recovery. Sideloading would not work for me, tried using TWRP and Clockwork mod recovery. I was able to return to stock though using this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904. Worked like a charm, then I unlocked the bootloader again, flashed a custom recovery again and rooted again. I didn't see anyone else post the above thread, so I thought I would share in the hope that it helps.

August update?

Does anyone else have a stock unrooted one that has come up with an update in the past day or two? My wife's says there is an update available(she is on 1.08.x.x). Just wondering what the update is for.

Edit: just took a peek at it, and it looks like it's mostly patching files in system, rather than flashing an all new system image. But the new version looks like it's "1.08.502.4".

i got a update notice 2 days ago but i already have twrp recovery and couldnt update with that recovery.

My wife's is not unlocked yet hopefully this isn't Att blocking the unlock process. Because the thing is just going to do it probably before I get a chance tonight. But I wouldn't put it past them. They have been trying to get HTC to exclude our Att phones from dev unlock since HTC put up the site...

I will go back stock and check it out...

Was still able to unlock. But not sure if they have patched for s-off... Haven't tried to do that(the wifes phone and she doesn't want me to do s-off).

according to s-off crew, moonshine is most likely blocked with this OTA. There is a possible workaround and I will be doing the procedure this weekend and posting up a tutorial if it works.

If I am unlocked, rooted and have s-off can i safely take the update? It automatically started downloading on my phone and the only thing I can do to stop it is turn off all data.
A prompt response is highly appreciated, thank you.

If you have a custom recovery(and why wouldn't you?) then you have nothing to worry about. It won't update with a custom recovery. It will just fail and that's it.

Question on the s-off front. My wife had to take the update before I could stop it but she doesn't want s-off anyway. My question is if it is needed for anything I would want to do... Such as running a 4.2.2 Sense 5 port from the htc mini... I have the htc one and I know that there was no real good reason for s-off(i did it anyway of course...) but I also know each phone is a little different. So thus my question... Sorry if this is too noobish...

no. fastboot flash boot boot.img solves all problems. but s-off is non-destructive on the data so if you want to give it a try and report back it would be appreciated. It would save me time this weekend.
But I understand its the wife's. My wife won't let me touch her phones after the first 4 hours....lol

Ok thanks for the info. She let me unlock it and try flashing my failed port rom... But when I was debating whether I indeed wanted to s-off my ONE I might have inadvertently mentioned that there are risks when your s-off. And now she wants no part of it(no faith!!!!). Lol

i installed the update and S-Off stayed, however if i try to unlock my bootloader the phone will go into a boot loop.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed cmw in fastboot usb mode, flashed the superuser then relocked the bootloader and everything worked fine. I installed the awesome beats package too without having to unlock the boot loader.

Yes this is a bug with s-off. Not just the aftermarket s-off. This is even happening with factory s-off devices. Not really sure what is causing it. Sometime I will sit down and try to get a dmesg and logcat of it to determine what is going on.
Sent from my HTC first using Tapatalk 2

Has anyone tried doing the s-off after the latest update this month? Just curious if it still works or if the update patched the exploit.

[Q] bootloop/no service Sprint HTC One

Before I did anything I updated to the newest firmware. Then using twrp I created back ups and transfured them to my computer. I flash the Android Rev 4.3 not knowing it was GSM only. The phone never would go past the boot loader. So i restored from my twrp back up. All of my stuff came back but I had no service and after about a min the phone would reboot it self. So i did the factory wipe and have been trying to get a rom to flash since then. I was finally able to get one to load today but i still have the same no service/reboot issue, however now i can't access the menu. When i swipe up it just says HTC till it reboots it self.
I have resorted to using ADB to load roms I have even used super wipe with no changes. I'm out of ideas here.

Please forgive me as my flashing back to stock experience goes back to my Motorola Photon days. If I soft-bricked my device I would SBF (Motorola's RUU) back. Any version would work. Once I had the device reloaded I would then re-unlock and try again with my favorite choice of ROM.
Honestly at this point what do you have to lose? I would try any and all RUU's to try and un-brick your phone.

All you need is to flash a radio bro. If your phone comes on with no service it's missing a radio at boot. Just go to recovery, hit advanced, hit adb sideload with phone connected open command window with platform tools and type adb sideload (radio name) and hit enter. No parenthesis.

Nooby needs help with reseting HTC one to stock

Hi guys, stupid as I am, i tried to root my HTC one, and failed. Somehow I could not install the root and everything just got messed up. I posted it in the sprint HTC one section, although mine is bought in Norway.
Alright, my problem is that there has not been released a RUU for my version, I belive. And then I have no idea how to do it. I would highly appreciate any help I can get. I have no idea how often I'll be checking in on this forum, but you can contact me on skype if you're willing to help !
although I'll be following this thread, so any responses would be read.

Thanks !

You better post this in the M7 thread. I don't know how much you messed up, maybe the ruu is not necessary, but as a last resource, taking for granted that your phone is a GSM model you can get s-off than change your CID and flash an unlocked or developer edition ruu.

We can talk here. It's a pretty simple procedure. Copy this file to your ADB folder(the one you used to unlock your bootloader) http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Make sure fastboot is unchecked in power options and turn phone completely off
Boot into bootloader than Fastboot
From fastboot.
Than open command prompt in this folder and type:
"fastboot erase cache"
From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img"
