Yes you must be on the Jellybean leak, rooted, with Safestrap 3.0 installed.
Well I rebooted without wiping data or cache and now my phone won't boot.
Cannot enter SS3 either..
So this is a must, not a suggestion.

For you it was a must, in my other experience it's a suggestion. Always wipe if unsure. I will note this in the OP, however.
Yes go into boot options (power and both volume buttons) bp tools

Thanks man , great to see some Custom ROM Action :good:
Will definitely try it over the weekend .
Did everything like the op said and ended up in a boot loop.So i had to go to ap fastboot and use the utility 1.0 to go back to stock and start over.Not sure what went wrong.Will try again and see what happens.
Hey matt. Nice ROM... it looks really cool. Thanks.
For ppl with unlocked BL are the steps the same. Mine is a bell model and cant update to the leaked jellybean. Also do i need safestrap?
I now there's only like 2 of us in this situation here... thnx in advance

bootloop
tried tablet version and went into bootloop.....and what happened to the safe strap recovery because this sucks having to rsd, update, root all over again. can i just root, install recovery then restore MY ORIGINAL backup and i assume thats without data. this was a simple op nothing should have went wrong...maybe leave save strap in???
I'm a giddy lil' b#!&h for this! I can't wait to get the time to figure all of this out and get this GORGEOUS ROM runnin! Thanks Matt and Sirhoover for all your work and testing!

Well you can go to leaked Jellybean for AT&T if you are boot loader unlocked... You flash system and boot.IMG from ATT 77.12.22 then boot to stock recovery and install the jellybean leak after the normal root procedure ( root, ota root keeper, etc) see the threads for those Also might need to wipe data when flashing att files or boot loop.

I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.
What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.
Will I loose all my settings and data?
Please help
Under advanced wipe select the first 4(dalvik,cache,system,data).
Then reflash the Rom.
You will lose settings.
Thanks, will try that in the morning.
Is there anyway we can save settings and restore them after upgrades?

Htcs built in backup through dropbox works very well. It restores apps, settings, homescreens. About the only two things it doesnt restore are accounts, autorotate and lockscreen password

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

Thanks all, I am just where I was. so many opinions and would like to have a concensus.
It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

same problem
ive had the same problem, i actually had to use the ruu to get back to stock, unlocked it again s-off rooted and no matter what i do everytime i install any custom rom it goes into bootloop. ive tried every rom on here i cant even get viperrom to fully boot up. looking thru all the forums nobody has a clear answer as to why this is happening.
im stuck in boot loop after the viper rom and i just got it yesterday .. i dont know what to do at this point . when it does boot it ask me for the wifi login and fails says poor connection when its right next to me
Boot Loop
I'm also stuck in boot loop. I've done research and tried all kinds of stuff with no luck. This is what I get...
Phone boots
I get the notification bar and a black screen
Can't do anything with that.
After about a minute, it reboots.
Can anyone help with this? I have the 1.31 version. Clearing cache/data/delvik does nothing for me.
Can someone help me get it back to stock, or at least usable?
Thanks in advance.

What version of Kingo did you try? Use 1.1.5 or 1.1.8. People have had success with that. 1.1.8 worked for me. Just Google around and you will find the download on the net somewhere.

You can try a factory reset and then root. If not there is a thread in the general section to go back to stock. Works great. I used it.

Factory Reset after the update to NB4, also go to recovery wipe cache, then try the 1.18, during the rooting process, look your phone screen, you need to click accept something twice,
I don't know how it all works terribly well but you said you still have Safestrap? Can you still install ROMs and can they have root?
Also, for when you eventually do get it working again. I recommend freezing the ATT updater. It can be awful when it eventually FORCES an update.
I got a free app called App Quarantine and froze "AT&T Software Update".

You will just have to follow the restore to MJ5 thread. The instructions are simple and very easy to follow. Go slow and follow them to the T.
What they do not mention however is do not use a 3.0 USB port. Only 2.0 will work.
Just follow that.
It is literally impossible to brick this phone to the point of it being unrecoverable. There is a tutorial to restore from hard bricks without J-Tag.

It has to be unzipped and on the internal. You have to reboot a few times for it to activate. After the first reboot, let the phone sit for a few minutes and then reboot again. You should be good to go after that.

Wow that did the trick!!! Thanks for holding my hand lol. I hit your thanks and I appreciate your help.
I unlocked from HTC Dev, rebooted it, and got constant error messages saying Unfortunately Blinkfeed has stopped, I mean constant as in I couldnt use the phone because the message wouldn't go away. So I rebooted again, and now it is stuck on the white htc ONE screen. Held power button down for 5 minutes and it won't reboot. Guess I'll have to wait until the power dies, try to reboot into recovery and do a factory wipe, assuming the LCD doesn't have a burn in by then.
Well got it to reboot into recovery, did a factory reset, same issue. Only white logo, so I did a wipe, guess I accidently wiped the OS, because now it says no OS installed. Going to see if I can return it at best buy, since it seems no one has a sprint rom yet and I have no phone...

As far as rebooting your phone with the power button, I believe it's now done with power+volume up. Try that and see if you have any luck. It'll at least get you back to the bootloader and let you power off your phone for the time being.

Pretty Easy.
1. Go into recovery
2. Perform a backup
3. Look at were the backup is, it should be something like SDCard:/TWRP/BACKUPS/Fa0914015051/ (Fa394052) I think is random per phone.
4. put unzipped folder in the Fa9030492409325 folder
5. go to restore then you will find the folder. It can be named anything as long as it is in that folder on the SD card.

Can I install stock recovery and then try to take a ota to update. Will I loose root and will I loose my rom? Will I be able to reinstall a rom or will I need to reroot?
you can try, you shouldn't loose root or anything but once you have unlocked and flashed stuff I doubt stock recovery will like your system enough to take the update. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53518227
HOW Change ...... ???
Sent from my SM-T217S using XDA Free mobile app
From my understanding, as long as /system is stock, you can install the stock recovery and then take the OTA. Afterwards, you'll need to re-root your phone. Make a backup of your current setup before you get started. Once you've taken the update and get rooted again, you can always restore your backup.

Must be the fact that I am s on. We need that s off before we can do anything as far as updating
This one is tricky. I flashed the stock rooted rom from mikmik, I then unrooted and flashed the stock recovery via fast boot. When applying the Ota, it fails because the build.prop is not stock. Comes back with an error like /system/build.prop unexpected.

I just tried it to and did the same exact thing except I had boot loops as we'll.
when I flashed back to the stock recovery to take the recent OTA, I had a reboot bootloop like every 2-3 minutes, I was ready to throw the phone against a wall, then it hit that I read recently someone else had the same issue, and mentioned a factory reset fixing the issue, yup after a factory reset, the reboot bootloop was gone, I just now rerooted and flashed a backup

currently i am rooted with S-on, TWRP and Chainfire SU.
i followed a youtube video to root and im basically clueless with regards to doing anything more.
thanks in advance.

no, a factory reset will not unroot you, you need to restore a stock backup, then flash stock recovery in fastboot to unroot while s-on

Thank you. I saved a stock backup (i think) while rooting so ill see what i can do tonight. fastboot is the white background screen that uses volume buttons to select, right?

Hey everyone.
I've spent the better of the last three hour scouring the inter webs, Google, and these forums trying to find the answers to my questions - but to no avail (I've found partial answers, but I am afraid a partial answer could lead to a total brick).
Here we go:
I bought one of the first Sprint HTC One M8's through Amazon. Here are the details:
Model: 831C
Android Version 4.4.2
Software Version 1.12.651.17
Unlocked but S-On (Using TWRP)
Naturally, right out of the box I rooted it. However, I did not save the original ROM.
* I want to restore the phone to its original state so I can accept the OTA update and hopefully address the god-awful cell signal.
I've found a lot of stock recoveries online, but none that match 1.12.651.17.
Do I need to find that specific recovery to flash to my phone? Will another one work (e.g. 1.54.654.13)?
I've never worried about saving my stock recovery in the past (been rooting since the HTC Evo days) but it looks like not doing so finally caught up with me.
Thanks in advance.
PS I did find something 1.12.651.17 related here, but how to flash this to my phone (or whether or not it will brick) is beyond me. I've downloaded all 6 files and am waiting to figure out how the heck to get them to my phone.
