To start off, I'll write down a history of my phone's problem. It had me scratching my head for over 1 week already and I still can't resolve it. I've been non-stop searching all over the net for solutions, and unfortunately it's still problematic.
Before the problems started, this is the state of my phone:
Stock HTC Rom 4.1.2 ver. 1.29.1540.3, rooted, custom recovery TWRP.
My phone initially hanged after receiving a text message. So I thought it just crashed and just needs a simple reboot. But unfortunately, after a reboot, it was just stuck at the "HTC quietly brilliant" splashscreen. But it could go into bootloader. So I went into recovery to restore from a backup point. But the restoring process failed, and worse, it wiped my current OS off.
So I went over the net to search for a copy of the stock HTC rom. then I found the specific RUU, from bugsylawson's, for my phone. And, at last I thought, the phone was back to normal. But unfortunately again, when I tried to re-download all my apps from google play store, after installing a few apps, my phone crashed again. the crash would reboot and enter into the OS but after a few seconds, it would hang again and reboot until it doesn't get into the OS anymore.
I went further research and studying about android terminologies to better understand the state and problem of my phone, and I came up with the idea to try to install a famous and stable custom Rom. I chose Android Revolution HD 13.3, which runs a custom 4.2.2 jelly bean. After successfully flashing the rom, I was so happy that everything went back to normalcy. So again I tried to reinstall the apps from play store. and everything worked fine. then after about approx. 18hrs, the problems started to show up again. My phone would hang while I was using it. And it would restart. sometimes it would just force close an app that i was using (in this case, I was using the "Internet" app and camera app). And after rebooting by itself a couple more times, it would get stuck in the "HTC quietly brilliant" splashscreen. again.
I tried several times to re-flash the custom Rom, and it would flash successfully everytime. And just to make sure i did the correct steps before flashing a new rom, I would like to enumerate what I did:
-wiped data, system, cache and dalvik cache partitions
-flashed custom rom via TWRP.
After everything I've tried. I'm starting to wonder if my phone has factory defects. I'm pointing to three parts of the hardware: processor, flash drive or cache. I'm wondering if the cache is a hardware or software based, and if it is a hardware, could it possibly be damaged physically and can't be repaired? How do I checkdisk the flash drive to make sure that i don't have bad sectors in it? How could i also try a diagnostic test of the processor to make sure that it is not faulty and does not overheat?
I'm new to android debugging. I would gladly take any logical solutions to help solve my problem. I'm pinning my hope on this forum before I finally contact HTC to claim a warranty or anything.
Hi can you download TeamViewer so that I can flash the latest 4.3 firmware on your device, after S-Offing

Hi Matt,
First of all, thanks for the very quick reply.
Uhn matt, I don't mean to annoy you with questions. But are there any other solutions without S-offing my device? And if possible and if it's not a hassle for you, may I ask what your possible might be? (Could you please enumerate it?)
I would greatly appreciate it if we could discuss the procedures first before actually trying to fix the issue.
You'll need to S-Off to flash the 4.3 firmware, and you want to be S-Off now as you can't use the exploit on the newer hboots. I will S-Off, flash 4.2.2 firmware, flash 4.3 firmware, then flash 4.3 Sense stock rom, then you can s-on if you want

I see. How is the new Hboot different from the old hboot? And if anything goes wrong, could I still go back to the old hboot?
To what firmware version is it going to be upgraded to? Will it have the same radio?
Just to clarify, we're CHANGING firmware version, not UPGRADING right? Is it because we're changing to different region's firmware so that i could just download an OTA update of newer stock roms? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hello everyone,
I am new to Android devices and got my HTC One on Christmas 2013. I thought it might have been a good idea to root my device but, I wasn't satisfied. Firstly I went into SuperSu and clicked 'Full-UnRoot' and it gave me a message mentioning something about somethings being "re-rooted upon reboot" I wanted the root completely removed so I went into recovery mode and went into Factory Reset ---> Advanced and I ticked everything (Thinking that the System section was referring to the files on the system, not the actual OS) So I had had a useless phone for a good 10hrs before I managed to adb sideload the Omni Custom Rom for HTC One ver. 4.3.1
Everything is fine, except for the fact that all google apps and many other essential apps were missing, along with all the good features that the original HTC One comes with.
I have been searching the web for HOURS and still cannot find the right stock ROM for my device.
I am new to the Android community but I think this information might help:
My phone needs an Australian stock ROM/RUU
My CID is HTC_039
I really need an Australian stock ROM for my HTC One or another ROM that would restore my One COMPLETELY back to NORMAL
PLEASE HELP
Thank You.

Well i see you learned a couple of lessons
#1 Backup your phone before making ANY Changes (TWRP/Backup)
#2 Never do an Advanced Wipe unless your prepared to loose everything, and your good with adb / fastboot.
This is the only file I could find for your phone

Hello All,
I would like to start by saying that i am a huge fan of XDA DEV and everything that has been done here for the android community. I myself am a noob , more or less , so i basically bricked my phone.
I decided to update my viper one rom to 4.3 9 from (2.3 ) and came across zero access to CWR and bootloops.
SOMEHOW... i managed to use ADB as well as tool kits to reinstall a cwm ( after about 100 attempts ) .. and reflash my old 2.3 viper rom.
Now i cannot access my nandroid backup which i made before flashing to 4.3. I am going to try to reflash an older version of CWRM and maybe it will be there.
Furthermore, i would like to know what the proper procedure to upgrade my device . If anyone would be so kind and instruct me, i will appreciate it.
Thank you!
EDIT :::
- I am S-on ( probably makes a difference )

HI, You are NOT bricked. (bricked means non fixable)
TWRP is clearly mentioned by op on viper thread "AT LEAST Twrp 2.6.3.3 required (If you experience issues with Twrp 2.6.3.4, please downgrade by flashing TWRP 2.6.3.3 through the ViperOne installer main menu)
Sprint and Butterfly support is not available on 4.x.x yet. Last working rom for Sprint and Butterfly S is 3.5.0"
Are you on sprint? see above
Also, when s-on, need to extract boot.img and flash it via fastboot (fastboot flash boot bootimg).
clean install imminent for that huge update.

don't mention "bricked" and will find more help

I'm having the same issue with the ringtones. I could never add a custom ringtone even in the previous versions of this ROM.
Using ES File Explorer, when I try to copy my ringtones to system/media/audio/ringtone, ES File Explorer gives me an error, which is "EROFS - Read Only File System". When I checked the properties of that folder, both "Readable" and "Writeable" are "Yes".
I also moved my ringtones to the sdcard/ringtone folder. When I select one of my custom ringtones from the menu ("Select music track"), it reverts back to the Ringtone menu without making any selection.

Have you tried flashing this fix? I had a problem where it couldn't find my custom ringtones in the ringtone folder, but after flashing this, it was there.

Wifi Issue for Bad Boyz 4.4.4 update
After booting up my updated HTC One M8 into Bad Boyz 4.4.4 Rom, I wasn't able to turn wifi on. Also I can't get the regular system update to see that I have 4.4.4 and to stop prompting me to download it.
The ability to download certain mods for the phone is amazing though props to the Devs! Thank you!
If anyone knows how to fix the wifi issue please let me know. I wiped Cache before and after the install of the Rom. Not sure what could have gone wrong.
If anyone can help with this I would be grateful I use wifi a lot to download larger files or stream because my LTE Connection isn't that great in my apt.
Fairly major issues, Seems really outdated.
I just flashed the rom and kernal included in the download list. Google Play won't connect, and Blink Feed literally crashes constantly. I am unable to get the phone to do anything. I would clear the BlinkFeed crash message and immediately another would pop up. I flashed this rom back when it was first published and everything worked great. I then had to return my phone to stock so I could get screen replacement, now this rom appears to have gone from the best, to useless.
Reagarding the Post
Yes Really I have done this and works well even in PC and also in Android mobiles.
Quick question, the only roms I have used have been stock and CM11 on my M7,
With CM11, HTC Synch would not see the phone, I have tried other programs for backing up, HTC Synch has been the only one that works for me.
Will HTC Synch see my phone with this rom???
EDIT:
Never mind, I'm an idiot
I am thinking TWRP 2.8.0.2 isnt the recovery to use......
Been sitting for about 5 minutes with no movement trying to flash..
Any ideas??
HTC Synch doesn't see it, but that doesn't matter.
I been searching the Rom thread for battery issues, my battery is getting sucked dry super fast, other then this, the Rom flies, I love it....

Amplify may be your best friend. Btwn that and apps like Greenify and something other than the stock kernel may make your battery life wonderful.
In my use of this rom (my standby DD when I'm not trying something new), my biggest knock in battery life was when I was using ElementalX kernel with wake gestures enabled. It was awesome, but it gobbled on my battery like nothing else. Ifound myself charging my phone almost twice a day. With the apps mentioned and Kangaroo kernel (for 4.4.2)? I got crazy life.

Sweet, thank you sir, snagging it now...
I apologize if this has already been covered, but whenever I try to search a thread through the xda app I get all kinds of garbled results, and trying to read through this whole thread would take months... For some reason, neither "modifications" in settings nor the HUB app will work for me. They always give a pop-up that says "myHUB has quit working." No other issues with the ROM. Any ideas? Is there a link to reinstall myHUB without having to re-flash the entire ROM?

Firmware Confusion - Updating to the 5.0.2 BB ROM from 4.4.2 BB ROM
Hi all,
Could you guys please advise me on how to go about updating from the 4.4.2 BB ROM to this new Lollipop BB ROM? Previously, when upgrading, I just downloaded the ROM directly to my device and flashed from TWRP. I never dealt with an accompanying firmware update or reflashing TWRP. I never had to mess with fastboot on the computer after the original unlocking/rooting. I recently tried running the Lollipop RUU.exe directly from Sprint to return to stock and get the OTA update, but it would not work because presumably my firmware was old. It said I had 1.31.652.1 when I did getvar all in fastboot mode because I had done an OTA update a long time ago. Apparently there is no 1.31....RUU readily available (5 hours of googling and scouring forums). I read people used 1.29... so I relocked my bootloader and tried the 1.29....RUU.exe, but that did not work. That got my device stuck in the bootloader. Could not access TWRP or boot to the OS. I was able to unlock the bootloader, wipe it, and somehow wound up with a fresh 4.4.2 BB ROM. I successfully flashed the latest TWRP 2.8.4.0 just to have it.
Currently my device is running the 4.4.2 Bad Boyz Sense 6 ROM and the latest 2.8.4.0 TWRP. Main goal - to get Lollipop (don't care if it's custom or stock). If I have the BB 4.4.2 ROM, does that mean I have the firmware version 5.03.651.3? If so, would running the 5.03.651.3 RUU.exe revert me to stock and thus able to receive the 5.02 Lollipop OTA update? Can I just download the Bad Boyz Lollipop ROM and flash that from within TWRP and be done? Or will I need to worry about flashing an additional firmware file, and can that be done from TWRP?
Currently S-On, but I have Hboot 1.44 so I should be able to revone and S-Off if necessary for whichever way is easier, right?
Unlocked bootloader.
Can't find the firmware version. Where can I find it?
Please advise me on the steps necessary to get this Lollipop update.
Also, thanks Bad Boyz for bringing it to everybody!

My understanding (limited as it may be) is that you only need S-OFF to flash custom kernels. I've never found a real need to do so but I was able to S-OFF with REVONE back in the day. For now if you are S-ON but unlocked, you'll need to flash the full firmware (link in the Bad Boyz thread and there's a firmware thread as well). My suggestion is you go to this post by @O.M.J http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58766627&postcount=1694 and follow the instructions for S-ON users before flashing the new BB Lollipop.
Good luck

Unfortunately that doesn't address any of my specific questions. I've read that forum post already. Thats how I know the new ROM exists. I've read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694171&page=170 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 and do not see directions pertaining to flashing from within TWRP. The requirements section only says fast boot flashable in parentheses for some things.
Thanks for trying, but here are my question again:
Can I just download the Bad Boyz Lollipop ROM directly to my phone and flash that from within TWRP and be done? Or will I need to worry about flashing an additional firmware file, and can that be done from TWRP? As I said, I've just used TWRP in the past, not fast boot on the computer. Also, updating only required flashing 1 ROM in the past, so why does he bring up additional files, and can those be flashed from TWRP?
If I have the BB 4.4.2 ROM, does that mean I have the firmware version 5.03.651.3? If so, would running the 5.03.651.3 RUU.exe revert me to stock and thus able to receive the 5.02 Lollipop OTA update? Can't find the firmware version. Where can I find it? Software Info in About section just says Bad Boyz Sense 6. Thats not a firmware #.
Please advise me on the steps necessary to get this Lollipop update.
i tried to use some custom Rom, and i follow the instruction of how to unlock and flash custom Recovery, it was all good until I accidently wiped everything on my phone including the system, now it stuck in the bootleader and TWRP. The thing is when I tried to get back to stock, there is no such RUU available, it should be RUU 7.21.980.22 by vodafone australia. I really did my research the whole day and tried to sideload the latest Revolution HD 9.2 ROM, but it failed. Please, is there anyone could save me out of this. Many thanks.

What is your TWRP version?
What is your adb version?
Are you talking about ARHD 92.2? 9.2 is a typo?
Problem solved
First of all, thanks a lot for the reply from @alray.
My problem was solved by installing the updated driver of HTC one m7 on the computer, so the computer can recognize the virtual SD card. Then i could put the ARHD 92.0 into my phone, and simply flash it using TWRP recovery. About 24 hours research, it was so anxious and frustrated, but after going through all of this, i could say that the chance of brick the phone is really negligible, because there are so many people sharing their ideas and solutions. Thanks to all of you.
By the way, my TWRP version is 2.8.5.0
