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

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, I probably performed a lot of stupid steps on my HTC One but this is what I did so far and could use some help. I have currently used the HTC all in one tool by hasoon2000. I had Android Revolution 6.0 and was working perfectly fine but then decided to install Android Revolution 7.0. Unforunately, I guess Clockwork Recovery doesn't like aroma installer because it froze halfway through the installation. I turned the phone off but it proceeded to freeze 3 more times. Eventually it got stuck into a boot loop. Then because I could not do anything, I cleared the dalvik, cache, system, and data. I have erased the cache through fastboot and flashed a new boot.img of the old ROM. I am currently trying to install TrickDroid 5.1 on my phone but when I try to install TWRP recovery it will blink for a second then load back into bootloader. When I install either CW recovery or CW Touch, It works but the phone shuts down automatically into bootloader when I either attempt to factory reset, install zip from Rom, sideload Rom. Can anyone help me please? When I turn on the phone without going into boot lader it just stays on the htc logo, im assuming because there is not ROM installed right now.
hi mate post this on trickdroid thread someone there will help you out
First step is to make sure you don't use the touch screen while installing the rom. Use the volume keys and the power button to make selections. If that doesn't work, try a few other times. I had the same thing happen to me. If all else fails, try installing the maximus7 rom. That's the rom that installed for me without trouble and it'll at least get you a working phone until the other roms are fixed

All right I'll try to sideload the Maximus ROM. Some extra info, the cache won't mount at all.
Does anybody have any previous versions of CW recovery or TWRP i can flash onto my phone? I heard the newer recoverys aren't very compatible with aroma installer or the newer ROMs.

Always do 3 wipe, it should be eisier to pass the weired aroma installer frozen problem.
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 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.

You probably should RUU and stay over.

... 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?
So I installed a "new" recovery, TWRP 2.6.3.3, and I'm running Viperone 7.0.1 and ElementalX-m7. I'm currently S-On and in the process of trying to go s-off. I created a backup of this before I went to install any new roms. The issue I'm having is whenever I try installing another ROM such as MaximusHD or ARHD, the aroma installer installs the rom but right when it goes back to TWRP, the screen goes black and I have to hold down the power and down button to get back into the recovery. If I try booting it up, the phone just stays on the HTC logo and never boots into the new rom. If you could help me in what I'm doing wrong that would be awesome.
The reason I'm trying to download new roms is I'm trying to go s-off on my phone and convert it to a google play edition.
Thanks.
Bump?

Try to isolate the problem. Like restore your backup and just install the rom. See if it works. Then add the kernel after and see if it still works. Your phone might just not like one or the other. Make sure the kernel matches the android version you're installing, too.
Also remember to wipe your dalvik and cache. Try that first, actuall... .
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.
