I will try to explain what happened in as much detail as possible, but if this is not descriptive enough feel free to ask for more information.
As the title suggests, I have soft-bricked my phone. I can not figure out what the hell is the problem here.
I have flashed a custom rom to my device, the latest viper rom to be exact. I am assuming you know what a boot loop is, but with this it is not a boot loop. It is rather a reboot loop (?). Instead of staying on the bootup, it will load into android. It will allow me to interact with settings and things for say 1-2 minutes, then it will reboot.Some times before it crashes it will show an error message of "system has stopped responding." Other times it will just *FLASH* go straight off without warning. I have tried to flash other roms, to no avail. I have tried to clear the cache, dalvic cache, entire system, all to no avail. I have zero idea of what can be causing this, and no thread or video or anything can seem to tell me.
So please. I'm coming to you as a man who has tried everything he could find for the past 3 days. I am hoping that this is a fix that I just did not see, and I am being an idiot. Never the less, please help me in fixing this problem.

Could be a bad download did you check the MD5 before flashing?
When you wiped pre-install did you wipe cache/dalvik cache/system/data or use superwipe(does the same thing just all in one session)?

I wiped cache/dalvik cache/system/data.
It was not a bad download I believe, because I tried with like 5 different roms.
Check MD5? I have no idea how to check that, so sorry about that.
Thank you so much for at least responding.

Usually not a big deal for roms but it will tell you if the MD5 matches from what was uploaded and what you downloaded
I have gotten some downloads that were a few MB's short
I use WinMD5Free http://www.winmd5.com/?rid=winmd5
Just copy the MD5 given on the file hosting site or the OP into the popup window then navigate to your download

What are the odds that OP downloaded 5 bad ROMs?
Question to Op: did you download it directly onto your phone?
I suggest not doing that. In my experience, they have resulted in bad downloads far too often. This includes ROM manager and goo.im apps.
Did you download the zip onto a PC, then transfer it to your phone via USB?

I sent it to my phone using adb sideload.
I can't even have enough time on Android to download anything.
PS: Not sure if this will help you or not, but when I open the app drawer there is nothing.
There is no pre-loaded widgets, there is no shortcuts.
Just a toolbar, a home launcher with no apps, and the settings.
IIRC sideload only wipes cache and dalvik cache

Like I have stated, yes.
I do it before flashing any rom, and if it doesn't work then I flash again with no success.
Bump ._.
I need to figure this out.
i have exactly the same issue with you. i tried to flash 4.2.2 sense and 4.1.2 sense with no success. currently i am trying to download AOKP ROM to see if that have any difference, but the download speed is poor in my place.

I doubt it man.
Nothing seems to work.
I flashed a new rom, and now I can't even load recovery or get past fastboot.
Not sure what the rom has to do with not being able to run recovery, but whatever.
As was already mentioned, have you tried to RUU back to completely stock so at least you have a baseline to work from? It honestly sounds to me like something physical may have been fried if all the roms you flash after wiping clean give the same result. If you can RUU back to stock, and still have the issue, then you may have the option of having it replaced by Sprint. Do all the roms you flash give the exact same symptoms (including the app drawer issue?)

RUU doesn't seem to work for me.
I have tried to run like 10 different RUU's and none of them work.
PS: Not all the roms give the exact same issues. The viper rom does what I said. Another rom (can't remember name) did the same thing as the viper rom. ARHD removes my recovery and doesn't even let me attempt to run it. That's all the roms I have tried so far, except RUU. RUU just says incorrect device or something.
EDIT: Just flashed Cyanogen mod rom. It shows all apps, and it does everything. The only problem is that it still reboot loops. Everything works, but the phone reboots itself after 30 seconds.

Are you using the right RUU for your hboot version? As far as I understand, you can flash forward with the RUU but not backward.

Hello guys,
I'm in a bit of a pickle here....
I've got a HTC One which I've rooted and unlocked though not S-Off by the looks of things and I had SinLess rom installed fine, it started playing up so I though I'd update it. Bung the new one version on there via sideload and install... Marvelous.
Only now, it gets to the welcome screen as silly ol' me did a factory wipe as well as all cache and after about 5 seconds of Welcome - Choose language. It restarts.
I then decided to try a new rom, so grabbed Android Revolution. To no avail either....
On bootloader it shows as HBOOT - 1.54
S-On
**TAMPERED**
**UNLOCKED**
What can I do to actually get a working rom on this thing?
If there is any more details I need to give please say so as this is my first time flashing something as complicated as this. All my old android devices were far far simplar :crying:
- Here's the facepalm moment - I didn't do an nandroid backup due to it not working and I wanted to put a new ROM on there so I didn't look into getting it working. If I could injure myself I would.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. :good:
Kind regards, Ian.

Hey your'e stuck in a boot loop, its usual
just download a good stable rom
clear data/ cache
flash the rom and you'll be out of it,
If this thing doesnt work out download the orignal RUU and get back to stock

Yeah, after attempting to install 3 different roms.
Sinless, ARHD and SkyDragon, I'm going to try a different recovery as I'm currently using TWRP 2.6.3.3 and I know there is an update but also I want to see if CWM can do anything with the 6.0.4.3 version....

Hello,
To no avail, after trying different recoveries, nothing.
Looks like I've got a metal slab...
It just keeps restarting itself at the welcome screen, the only other thing I can think of would be to fully wipe EVERYTHING on the phone but I'm not sure that's too good of a move either...
Argh.
You have to be s-off to run these Roms
hey guys, i could really use some help here. I've been having a ton of trouble since i tried to change my ROM recently. I got bored of Beanstalk and tried carbon with i didn't like and didn't work well.
Long story short, I got to the point where i had twrp 2.5 installed, i could use fastboot, recovery, etc. But i couldn't load into the phone, the carbon logo would show and it would restart. So i tried sideloading Android Revolution HD 31.6 and when that finished the screen the screen went black, so i resarted the phone to try and flash the rom "sideload.zip" that was in my root. But it just started flashing carbon again. So i tried sideloading Android revolution Hd again and then it went black after it said 100% complete on the computer terminal. Now i can't get the phone to do anything but have the home and back button flash when i hold down the power button for a long time. I can get anything other than a black screen.
Help!
Okay, i did get it to restart this time when i tried "adb reboot" in the terminal, though that didn't work before. But now it's still stuck in the carbon loop. What i need is a way to load android revolution on to the phone so i can flash it.

flash TWRP v2.6.3.0 and you should be ok.
Android Revolution is a gsm rom will not work on sprint unless it's 4.3, i think it's supported 4.4 will not work! make sure the one you flash has sprint support.

Ok so i can flash it now using twrp 2.6.3
But it then gets stuck on the "HTC ONE" logo screen then restarts after a while.
And the ROMs page says "Yes, you can. The ROM will work on all the variants except Sprint, as it has some significant differences. Sprint is supported only with version 31.6 as of now. WiFi calling is available in version 31.6."
And that's the version i have.
could it be a firmware or kernal comparability problem? If so how would i fix it?

Sorry to thread jack if that's what I'm doing but his issue was probably fixed as he has not updated this and it's touching on an issue I have with Aroma installers....I've tried the Bad Boys, NVProject, Bad Seed (i think) and one or two other Sense ROMS and they all use Aroma installers. Even that Recovery Switcher that uses Aroma I can't get working properly. I believe in many cases the touch screen is supposed to be working but mine will not work nor do that arrow keys + power advance me down the list of options. I can SOMETIMES check the agreement boxes if I hold power and press a bunch of times on the screen while hitting the side buttons, lol. This 'technique' has gotten me almost all the way through an Aroma installation but, inevitably, I end up hitting back instead of finish or can't make anyting but the "about' to come up.
I have no problems installing AOSP and AOKP roms via Philz or the Twrp I was using its only the Sense ROMS/Aroma combo that are giving me trouble....
Currently I am S-OFF and have reverted back to the sense stock rom and taken the OTA which has me up to software version 1.54.654.13.
I am having issues with my 3G and getting stuck in 1xRTT or Roaming constantly but I think this may be a network issue as tens of thousands of acres have burnt to the ground as close as 1 mile from my house this week and Sprint said they had dispatched some technicians to examine some of their structures/tower in southern california......
The only other thing I can think of is that I had to fastboot oem writeCID 11111111 to get the RUU to work...was I supposed to change that to something else afterwards?

The problem is the aroma installer hasn't been updated to be compatible with spirit as of yet. Use the volume up/down to highlight things and power to select. I think it's vol down 4 times and then up once to get to next. You will get the hang of it.

ok sorry havent updated til now but i have tried all the recoveries in the zip to install multiple recoveries easily and not one of them would work to install viperone rom but i tried bady boyz with them all as well and i was able to get that installed using philz recovery but none of the others worked with it. when i try viperone with any recovery it wont even start up aroma intsaller at all just gives me failed right away in the recovery. so as of now im on bad boyz rom but i want viperone rom im not satisfied with any other. bad boyz is a good rom dont get me wrong i have just used viper since i began rooting my phones and i love it. anyways aroma works for the recovery install zip just fine (other then the touch not working) so i dont knopw if its a recovery issue or something with aroma or possibly viperone rom even i have no clue?. thanks for all ur replies and suggestions everyone ur a big help always. id love to get this solved so i can run viperone rom again as i had on my first H/K M8 that i exchanged for the current one i am using. sorry again took so long to update

oh as to the volume/power buttons for selecting the options in aroma. i believe that there is no exact combo to get the selection on the next button. ive had 1 or 2 pages that i only hit down once and it selected next right away and then sometimes it didnt. so it varies on the up down number of times. ive had it not work using down so many times then up once a few times so its hard to really be certain . just my finding about that issue.

I know my issue was fixed by using philz recovery, wiping data, cache, and system and then installing a new rom. If the issue is what I think it is, then wiping all the partitions I mentioned should fix it. (I think the issue is related to some file system corruption and twrp not being able to properly handle the corruption, when other recoveries work just fine, so formatting the partition will get rid of the corrupted data)

You can wipe boot partition as well, just dont wipe anything you dont immediately recognize (I know philz touch has tons of options to wipe different partitions, and a lot of them probably would be bad to wipe lol)

ok i wiped said partitions and tried installing viper from philz recovery and twrp recovery and no go same thing happening. almost got worried when i tried rebooting and got the "no OS installed, r u sure?" but i just installed bad boyz again to get going again. im gonna try RUUing cause now i get a message after my phone starts saying something bout inconsistent partitions, u must wipe data partition or phone will be unstable. so gonna just RUU and start from there. do u know by chance if it is possible to create a backup with say twrp recovery and able to restore it with any of the recoveries such as philz or does a backup need to restored using the recovery it was created with? thanks again.
Here is a shot of what I received in philz after attempting viper install. http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums...s/2014-05/IMG_20140519_010012_zpsl8wwj5mi.jpg
ok so i RUUed with the RUU u suggested and then tried installing Viperone rom and still getting the same failed status. i tried restoring my backup i made before attempting these suggestions and it seems they do not restore completely either. errrrr so frustrating! my first M8 i had no problems with root soff recovery or installing viperone... this one is just not going so well. im gonna keep at it tho until i get viperone on my phone. lol
Good news.. I was able to install ViperONEm8 rom finally after all the hassle.
i went to TWRP recovery website and downloaded the TWRP recovery 2.7.0.2 and downnloaded ViperONEm8 1.5.0 version and flashed the recovery and installed the 1.5.0 version without a problem i tried 1.6.0 first but got the failed thing again but 1.5.0 installed no problem. YAYYY!!
Thank you all for your help
Hi everyone, I 've successfully installed cm11 using Qbking77 tutorial with the CyanogenMod Installer on my htc one but after having some problems with music playback and battery life I've decided to go back to stock.
I've successfully relocked the phone but I can't find the exact Ruu file for my phone and I've tried with other similar ruu but had no luck.
The phone is S On HBBOOT-1.57.000 RADIO -4T.29.3218.08 OS-6.09.401.5
The phone is also stuck in boot loop and recovery mode does not work.
I have found a guy with a similar problem in this site and someone told him to try to run the firmware first and then try to flash TWRP, now the problem is after downloading the firmware file when typing the cmd command adb reboot bootloader it says that it can not find any devices. I'm not really sure what to do now.
Any help appreciated!!!thanks

Firstly, have you enabled usb debugging on your phone? And have you downloaded the most up to date adb drivers and the most up to date HTC drivers?
Because you are s on you cannot flash to downgrade your firmware
Also as your bootloader is now relocked, you cannot flash TWRP either. The bootloader needs to be unlocked to flash custom recovery
There is no RUU available for your phone, so the best option is either a guru reset which will also install stock recovery, or a nandroid backup

about the usb debugging if you are talking before the boot loop happened, yes I had it enable.
I'm gonna try one of those options to see if it works and then I'm gonna report back to let you know what happened.
btw thank you for the reply.

You are welcome, haven't fixed anything yet but come back here again with how things are going
The only way your going to get any function from adb is through recovery, using the sideload method. You should get yourself TWRP and flash using fastboot, then boot to recovery and side load a stockish rom, say viperone or the like. I choose not to run CM or any other AOSP rom for the reasons you listed in OP among others. I currently run ViperOne comming from CM and the battery life is not even comparable. Going back to stock is going to be tough per with your version of hboot s-off is not an easy task as of yet.

I'm quite new to this things so I don't understand much about it, but do you recommend installing a different rom rather then going back to stock? to be honest after all these problems I've had with cm11 I would prefer going back to stock :/

You need to unlock your bootloader first via HTC dev and then flash TWRP recovery
Reboot to recovery and choose to sideload a Rom via adb - download a sense Rom of your choice. There are plenty to chose from
Unfortunately, your going to have a difficult time going back to "Stock." You can use a custom recovery to flash a "Stock" rom, as stovie_steve mentioned, a sense rom. To you the phone will be "Stock" the only difference here is your warranty is void .

I unlocked the bootloader and rebooted the phone and everything seems to work fine. But now I don't know what I should do... Now I don't think that I want to go back to stock because it looks a bit difficult and I might end up doing something wrong and brick my phone. Is the viper rom good? I've got cm11 but as I said the battery is draining fast and I still got the music playback problem. Is it hard to install another rom? If it's not I'll probably do it.

Step 1: download a sense based ROM - ARHD, viper one, insertcoin etc onto your phone
Step 2: flash latest TWRP
Step 3: flash the ROM you downloaded
Step 4: **optional** to obtain s off, use firewater or sunshine
Thanks for the help I'm probably gonna try to install the viper one

Personally, ViperOne is the only sense based rom I will use. Its loaded with goodies and stable as they come. But there will be no harm in flashing many roms until you find something you like. Try Viper, do some shopping around, simply do a backup and flash whatever.. dont like it restore your back up. Just remember to have a current back up always. I keep ViperOne and CM installs on the sd as well as backups of both, never know what mood I be in, have the 64GB so I dont mind 5-10GB tied up by these things. Its up to You but Yes I recommend ViperOne,
