Need some help please. Phone keeps rebooting. - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I just got my replacement M8 today.
Went in and rooted it. All went fine. (At least i think it did)
Then installed SU.
Installed CT TWRP version 2.7.1.0 from here
Thats when everything went bad. (By no means am i saying CT's TWRP did something to my phone!)
I am now stuck in a vicious boot loop.
My M8 will boot up to the OS, sit there for a few minutes and then reboot. Over and over.......
I tried downgrading the TWRP version to 2.7.0.8 thinking maybe i had a bad flash. That didnt help at all.
So right now I am rooted with stock ROM and Captains TWRP version 2.7.0.8 stuck in a loop.
Anyone have any idea what is going on here?
ive been doing this for quite a while and by no means am i a N00b. Just dont understand what happened.

Which version of SuperSU?
You could also try TWRP version 2.7.0.7 from my thread. That seems to be the "magical" version.

If you just moved up to 4.3, root implementation has changed, so you need to flash SU from recovery the first time.

I'm having similar issues with my HTC One, I unlocked and rooted and installed Maximus HD 13 rom - that's when I started getting problems with SuperSu - first the update issue, now it says no binaries.
I tried installing it from recovery, I even tried CWM, then reflashed TWRP. Still nothing, same error. No binaries. Driving me bloody crazy.

Yeah it looks like that's what I'm gonna have to do, should I wipe boot as well ? Maximus HD installs the stock kernel as well, wondering if it also installs hboot. Afaik /boot is split into boot and kernel. Wouldn't wanna wipe the entire device, install the ROM, reboot and find myself with no hboot !

hboot and boot.img are two different things. No rom will touch hboot. Only way to change your hboot is via RUU or OTA, or to s-off and flash in RUU mode.
All roms include a kernel, usually the stock kernel. That will overwrite whatever you had there before but you should still wipe /data.

Did you flash the supersu zip separately in recovery? I've had to do that every time I installed a 4.3 rom.

Alright, basically what I did today is I wiped every single partition I had access to, so everything but boot and recovery. installed maximus HD 13, installed faux kernel, installed faux kernel camera fix. Maximus installs supersu by default, I opened it up and I got the stupid no binary error. So I went back to recovery and attempted SuperSu 1.65 from zip, still the same problem. Please note that I did all this BECAUSE of my issues with root, funny how after nuking the whole phone I still have the same problem. I've google extensively, and pretty much the only advice I've found involves either rooting from recovery or changing something in SuperSu settings, which I CAN'T ACCESS because the app closes right after the error prompt pops up.
I'm a few desperate attempts short of attempting an exorcism...

I have not used Maximus, so maybe you should move over to that thread. I had the same issues with ARHD, but flashing SuperSU in recovery after the rom flash took care of it. In all likelihood, you're not the only Maximus user to deal with this, so the answer may be over there.

Alright, so SuperSu WORKED. Until I flashed the faux123 kernel, at which point it stopped working again. Same issue, no binaries. So I reformatted the whole phone, installed Rom, then faux123 kernel, then SuperSu. Same issue. No binaries. I can only conclude that installing the kernel causes the issue. Hope this helps someone who has the same problem. Gonna stick to stock kernel for now

Pretty sure I am, "m7-faux123-Sense43-007m.zip" and "faux123-jb43-sense-camera-fix.zip". Did you have to root again after installing ElemntalX ? Just finished reinstalling ROM for fourth time today, going to check SuperSu works, go back to recovery, make a nandroid backup and perhaps try ElementalX Is there a kernel control app for it ?

I only had to flash SuperSU once. I use TricksterMod.
I've experienced this problem on two different ROMs (different variations of the same problem, actually). In both cases, flashing the same SuperSU .zip fixed it. Link here.

URGENT: New ota released (1.54.651.10) how do I take it if I'm root?

I'm root/soff. a new ota just came out that will fix my unusable phone. how do I take it if im root, do I have to fully unroot? or can I take it as is?

One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't have to take the OTA...you just flash the firmware and done.

i did that and then i was unable to take profile or prl updates :crying: it also didnt apear to have fixed the signal issue... i might not have waited enough... or it could have something to do with the unability to take prl and profile updates... anyhow ill try again from a diferent download see what happens
Did your baseband change? last four should be .0610.
If it did change then it's most likely a network issue.

Yes the baseband did change but the signal problem persists. i need to take the FULL ota to fix my phone (or install something else that will) regardless the radios alone aren't fixing the issue.
i tried flashing the rafios by themselves and it wouldnt update prl or profile; it also had the same signal issue. i tried the radios AND the new stock rom for it and same thing. i tried going back to stock and taking the ota and the ota wouldnt install.
Thoughs?
I'm the same root/s-off. I flash the h/k sound file did you find a way to install the latest ota update?
I cant figure out how to get the OTA either
I have S-Off im also rooted, and i have TWRP recovery, i can't get the zip to flash. I was thinking about doing a stock root recovery using the RUU, but then i thought if i do that, would i still be able to reroot using the same method? so my question is, how can i flash this zip and keep my root? or should do a stock recovery from the RUU and update and wait for another root? if any devs read this, i'd really like your help please and thank you. I currently have the stock rom with just root access and S-Off.no custom roms on here.
man.. i have the same problem bro.. smh.. hey man keep me posted if something comes up

You have to have stock recovery to take the update, which means you have to flash stock recovery first and then take the update, then repeat the rooting process.

you should at least have seen a green arrow circle and/or a red triangle with a "!" in the middle. if you saw the triangle that is recovery trying and failing to update. at this point if you press and releast volumeup+power it should bring up the text of what it did.

[Request] Bad Boyz Rom Spark LTE icons

I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Well, I tried, the rom flashes and phone boots up and stays on for about 30 seconds before rebooting. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong. That's why I opted for this lol I've got this rom customized almost perfect. Only thing I'm missing is that Spark icon that should've been the stock one in the first place

Sounds like you're S-ON. S-OFF will fix that problem. Also, flashing the latest SuperSU zip in recovery after flashing the ROM will also fix it.
I'm surprised you didn't come across those solutions when you searched the forum after initially having the issue - that's a pretty common problem with relatively simple options for fixing.

Wrong Kernel/Rom config. My luck hahaha I'll flash a stock rom tomorrow and try again. Thanks for the advice though!
Yeah I had the same problem would just keep rebooting every 30 seconds, you should be able to in command prompt when it says the device is connected type adb reboot bootloader then just go to your twrp menu and reflash super user. That will fix it.

[Q] Stuck in boot - can get to recovery. Any ideas?

I've been using ViperOneM8 for the past few months. This weekend I tried to switch to AndroidRevolution, but it got stuck on startup. I decided to cut my losses and go back to Viper. I attempted to restore the backup I had made just before attempting the switch, but that got stuck on startup as well.
I've since tried to restore every backup I have to no avail. I've tried flashing new ROMs. I'm hoping someone smarter than myself has an idea of what to try next...?
When it gets stuck, I see the HTC splash screen, then the ViperOne animation, then nothing changes. All I can do is wait for the battery to die, plug it in, and then I'm able to get to recovery again.
Using TWRP recovery, FYI.

Update to latest twrp and try again
As far as I know ARHD is not Sprint compatible, by flashing it you messed up the partitions, you will have to RUU and start fresh and only flash roms from the Sprint section.

Cannot get M Preview 2 rooted

Alright, so I had M Preview 1 and used the rooting procedure from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/root-nexus-6-android-m-dev-preview-t3123285 and it worked flawlessly with no booting errors or anything.
Now that I've upgraded to Preview 2 on the day it was released I can't get it to root. I've tried the methods in that post, I've tried some other methods that I've picked up over the years of doing this kind of stuff and no matter what I end up in a boot loop or a boot validation error that just shuts the phone down. So I just end up re-flashing the system and boot partitions to get it back up again while I look for more solutions.
I've looked all over XDA and some other forums thinking that maybe I need a different kernel, or Super SU package but I can't find anything. If someone can explain to me or at least reply with a link to a thread that will help me out I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

flash any m based custom kernel, i generally use despair or elementalx, and then flash the latest supersu, when you boot, youll have root. the latest supersu is version 2.49 btw. and if you want to yse the kernel in that thread, elite kernel, grab the latest m version, not the one in that thread, its old.

Edit: Grabbed Elemental from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61931417&postcount=3921&nocache=1
Updated last night so it should be the absolute latest version. So I'll flash twrp in fastboot, then boot into twrp and flash the kernel first, and then supersu and I should be good to go.
The Elemental Installation is freaking awesome! I've never installed it before. That's so cool how it brings up it's own interface for the install to customize your setup.
And the phone just booted up after flashing both the kernel and supersu.
The boot animation (spinning colored dots) is glitching out though. Can't tell if it's a "setting up" type of thing or not. It's optimizing app 1 of 1 right now.

It's been in a bootloop for like 5 minutes. It would get the the Android is Starting screen and loan for about 30-40 seconds, then reboot.
Then it would hit the validation screen and reboot.
Then it would boot back to Android is Starting, freeze, and reboot lol
It is very erratic, all of this has been going on without any interference from me. Just letting it sit there trying to work through it's issues.
Then all of a sudden as I was typing "adb reboot-bootloader" the thing boots right into my existing lockscreen haha. So I guess I'll just do my best to not have to reboot this thing in case it wants to have a seizure like that again lol.

Hmmm...I flashed Elite with SuperSU and ElementalX with SuperSU. Wasn't able to get root with either one. Clean flashes (coming from formatted partitions) each time too.
I've got it up and rooted and restored but don't have access to write to the system partition at all no matter what I try.

Yeah I just flashed Despair and SuperSU to replicate what you've done and still nothing.
This is pretty irritating.

ok, i think i have a solution for you. its a little dirty, but its a solution i think. im running it right now, so its safe. its a basic m version 2 rom. it doesnt have many additions to it, its very basic. but i think youll get root. make a backup, i think that you could dirty flash it. or, to be safe, id wipe data. flash supersu 2.49 as well. heres the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-jdx-1-0-t3121053

Awesome, I didn't really he'd made a ROM for Preview 2 yet. I'll make a backup and give it a shot, thanks for pointing this out to me.
I'll let you know how it goes as well!
Update: it worked!!! I wiped the system partition and flashed the ROM. It failed the first time so I tried again after mounting the system and now I've got too with system write access!! Spread the word my friend.
