Phone Gets to Setup and Reboots

The phone is a brand new HTC One. After unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP 2.6.3.3, rooting it, and flashing a rom (tried insert coin and Sinless), the phone gets past the HTC logo, past the Google logo (Google edition rom), shows setup for a second, and reboots. It would do this until the battery dies. I can get into recovery fine, and do anything other than boot the rom. I've tried multiple roms, multiple recoveries, etc. What should I do? Thanks for any help!

Can you issue fastboot erase cache in bootloader and do a wipe data in recovery before booting?

Did both. We wiped the phone completely as well and did it from scratch and it has the exact problem.

Can you post your fastboot getvar all output? Remove Imei

You need to be S-Off to run any google edition roms. Listed on the first post of both sinless and arhd GE thread.

So do you think it will work if we use a Sense rom?
Also can you get S-Off in my situation? How so?
I'm new to this. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

Better question: can we expect run Rumrunner without a functional OS?

You should be on sense based rom for Soff, or ATT nandroid or backup. Reinstall ATT RUU if one available, or adb push a rom in recovery

Feeling really dumb for not trying a Sense rom. One just worked. Thanks for your help!

[Q] Rooting after 5.03.651.3 OTA Update Questions

Sprint HTC ONE
Background:
Just spent the last 15 hours flashing back to 4.06.651.4 stock rom in order to take the new OTA update 5.03.651.3. Somehow I managed to brick my phone to where it would only stay stuck on the green HTC with white background. The only thing that I was able to get to work was booting into the bootloader and play with fastboot commands. I had CWM recovery installed but could never get adb to discover the phone to sideload a rom onto the memory card. I had no backup, and pretty much had everything wiped and formatted on the phone. I went througt installing back and fourth twrp, cwm, and different stock recoveries, and hours of trying different things to no avail. What got my phone back up and going was at some point changing my cid to 11111111(not sure if this did anything for me), flashing 4.06.651.4_firmware.zip, then running Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_4.06.651.4_RUU.zip (ARUWizard.exe) while in fastboot oem rebootRUU mode. Since then I have installed the 4.06.651.9 OTA and then the 5.03.651.3 OTA which is where I stand at this point.
That being said, here's the state of my phone currently:
No Root
CID: 11111111 ( I don't remember what it should say incase I need to warranty the phone)
S-off
bootloader unlocked (did lock it but found out I didn't have to since I was s-off and since then unlocked)
hboot went from 1.56 to 1.57

Now this here are my questions.
Can I gain Root on being on 5.03.651.3?
If I have to reinstall a custom recovery to gain root, would I be able to flash back to the current stock recovery?
Having the new ver. of hboot 1.57, would I be able to downgrade back to 1.56 using the 4.06.651.4_firmware.zip, to flash back to stock 4.06.651.4 if I want to factory reset and unroot, s-on, and lock the bootloader if necessary?
And last of all what should the CID show from factory on the new OTA?
Basically what I want is to have factory everything rooted so I can get rid of the bloatware. Nice and simple that's all.
Much appreciated!!!

Alright, so answering your questions:
1. Yes you can get root being on 5.03.651.3.
2. 99% sure you can't, unless you RUU; but if you RUU you completely lose everything including root.
3. Yeah you can if you're S-OFF.
ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:
http://download.chainfire.eu/450/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip
Try downloading that file and then flashing it in TWRP. I haven't tested this though as the ROM that I'm using is prerooted.
There's a video by fellow member @zedomax that tells you how to do this, although the SuperSU zip in his video is outdated as the video's made in 2013 , so I linked you the latest one above.
EDIT: Oh and the factory CID for the Sprint HTC One is SPCS_001.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my thread and answering all of my questions. I will try rooting when I get home tonight. Thanks again!!!

You could also use these commands if you are S-off
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip
fastboot reboot
this could flash a recovery since you are S-off and flash back your stock recovery... Make sure you include an android-info.txt file...
In the android-info.txt file include this:
modelid: PN0720000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 1.29.651.10
hbootpreupdate:3
with that txt file and a recovery be it stock or a custom you can do what you like.

In reference to your answer on #2, Why can't you flash back to current stock recovery?
I'm curious to know because, i'm stocked ROM rooted, TRWP (lastest version), s-On. and i've been updating my firmware OTA.
I download the OTA firmware then flashboot stock recovery, reboot phone and perform the update. Once it's done, i then flashboot custom recovery (TWRP) and flash SuperSU to gain root again. The firmware version I"m on now is 5.03.651.3.
So basically, i'm concerned that i won't be able to flash stock recovery whenever the next firmware update occurs, using the method i've just described.

[Q] Why is my phone confused?

When I try to flash any ROM that has M7SPR in the title, I get an error saying that my phone is the M7. But I have sprint and I am trying to get M7SPR becuase M7 ROM's make me lose data.
Background data:
M7_WLS
SuperCID
S-OFF
MID 20000
Basically my questions are:
1. What would cause my M7SPR to think it is a M7?
2. Is there a workaround to keep LTE with GSM ROMs?
3. If there is no workaround for the #2, how do I get my phone to flash M7SPR ROMs again where I can keep my at least my sprint data intact?

How are you flashing gsm Roms on this phone. They have different partitions.
I think you dun goofed your partitions. Try RUUing to the latest Sprint firmware and never flash a GSM ROM again.

I flashed a stock sprint RUU then while in bootloader, reflashed twrp 2.8, then flashed slimkat m7spr, now if I went back into twrp and tried to flash any other m7spr rom, I get a failure saying that this device is an m7 and this rom is for m7spr...

Your boot loader is outdated. Current is 1.57. Baseband is off, supposed to be 1.29(edit: I pulled this number from my butt, I meant 1.01) i think. Version is supposed to be 5.05. CID - set it to the default sprint, if that's not it.

I guess i might have overlooked it, since it was 1.xx.2 looking quickly I thought it was no change. I have not changed the cid. From what I was reading that is considered supercid, which is supposed to bypass carrier specific ROMs. Making it much more difficult to brick.

Would you considering trying to change back to SPCS_001? (I think that's the right one)
I'm pretty sure changing CID doesn't allow you to flash GSM roms. Super CID only applies to GSM phones.

@BD619 any idea how this catch meachanism works? Like, what does it read? Seems like everything is set back to default for this one.
Actually did you run the RUU.exe (as opposed to flashing the firmware)? Or try to flash the latest stock ROM (4.4.3, 6.09)?

Sounds like the OP flashed the wrong recovery.
I would suggest run the RUU and start fresh.
OP you posted this in post 1 MID 20000 can you explain what that means?

The recovery is the latest from the twrp team straight from their site. I did try and revert back from 2.8 to 2.6 but it hung up at the htc loading recovery screen. From that hangup I reflashed the 2.8 I was using just to get something moving. I will look into the changing twrp and try something from there.
The MID 20000 is a reference to; modelid: PN0720000 to indicate that I was in fact using the sprint variant of this phone.
Thank you for the assistance.

The MID 20000 is a reference to; modelid: PN0720000 to indicate that I was in fact using the sprint variant of this phone.
Thank you for the assistance.

There is a version of twrp for every variant maybe you flashed one of the other variants by mistake (folks flash the M7_ul version all the time)

[Q] Stuck in boot loop after HTC1GURU reset

I wanted to GPE my HTC One m7. Having HBoot 1.57 made things a bit hard. I tried Moonshine, Revone, Firewater and Rumrunner, with no luck.
I decided I would pay for SunShine, but I needed a working system first. The various versions of the aforementioned tools were tested on a variety of roms and versions, which probably made this a real mess.
I ended up using this guide to get back to stock rom with stock recovery. (Apparently I am too noob to post links :-/ Here was a link to HTC1Guru "Reset to Stock for S-On")
It works. However, after applying the hotfix for a new system update, and rebooting, dowloading and installing the new update (4.4.3), I get stuck in a boot loop. My bootloader is unlocked, and I can flash a recovery. Booting up recovery while in this boot loop state gives me the phone with a red triangle warning sign on it.
My phone is S-On, HBoot 1.57, bought in Europe, using the *.*.401.* ROMs.
I've tried installing the stock 4.2.2 ROM twice and then applying update, no success. Any ideas on what I can do to get back to a stock phone, not in a boot loop?
Thanks in advance.

The reason it's bootlooping is because the updates that you are downloading are trying to update your hboot, but because you are already on the latest hboot they are failing.
Could you post your fastboot getvar all please without the imei and serial numbers please.

Ok, first thing is first, you will need twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery on your phone, once that's done, push or sideload the Rom linked below, it's full stock Rom 6.09.401.12 so just one above yours, then flash it like any other Rom.

M7 Trying to get back to stock-but need a helping hand

hey guys, i am now about to sell my m7 after over 2 years
a long time ago when i unlocked the boot loader, and installed tmrp i made a backup of my stock ROM. its been on a usb pen along time now. so today i used twrp to restore it. all when well i then decided to relock the bootloader using fastboot. in my ignorance i thought this was all i would need to do. upon reboot a rom update was found 6.09.401.10. i am currently 6.09.401.5. downloaded and restarted to install the update. recovery wouldnt load. okay that from the twrp flash replacing it. so of course onto xda to find a stock recovery. i believe i found it. but now i am worried- do i need to re unlock the bootloader? will i need to get the token again? or do i need the rru.exe 6.09.401.10? what is the best way to do this as unsure what to do next? as it will need ota updates. i have added my version info below just encase its needed.

To flash a recovery, even if its the stock one, the bootloader must be unlocked. Unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader requires the stock recovery....
I would keep the bootloader locked and flash the latest RUU version for this phone (7.19.401.51). Look in the general section (in the sticky threads) there is one named "Lollipop RUU collection". You'll find that RUU at post #2 and instructions how to flash at post #1. Be sure to use the fastboot version (htc_fastboot) instructed at post #1 (you can't flash a 7.xx.xxx.x ruu with the fastboot version from the android sdk tools).

This is the link to the RUU. Install the file on PC (it is a big file) and connect your phone and run it.
Should return you to stock Lollipop 5.0.2 with Sense 6.
Download the right one for your variant:

No, going from 6.xx.xxx.x to 7.xx.xxx.x isn't a downgrade.
