[Q] Stuck in boot - can get to recovery. Any ideas? - Sprint HTC One (M8)

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.

Which version of TWRP are you using? Have you verified md5's on ROM downloads?

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I verified MD5s for the new ROMs. I'll have to get back to you re:TWRP version in the next hour or so. It's roughly 3-4 months old I believe.

looks like TWRP v2.7.0.2

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.

Flashed 2.8.3.0, but it didn't work. Got stuck loading into recovery (bizarre)
Flashed 2.8.1.0 just fine though. That did the trick! Thanks EVO! I should have thought of that... oh well.

This surprised me so I checked - it was actually an InsertCoin I tried to flash. AR was one I was looking at, probably wasn't able to find it in the Sprint section so I went for a different one. My mistake. Thanks for the response though!

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

That's odd. Are you sure you're flashing the right kernel? I had no such problems with the 4.3 version of ElementalX.

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.

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.

I'm looking at the MikMik one, and I am just not sure if this will erase all my apps and settings. Do I need to use a backup app or should I be ok flashing this and keeping all my apps and settings?

Need some help please. Phone keeps rebooting.

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.

This seemed to be a problem earlier on with BETA testing for this ROM. I thought I had fixed it with an updated kernel installation method. I'm going to wait from reports from other users who have downloaded the ROM.
If it helps at all i am currently running :
2.22.401.5 baseband
S-OFF
and twrp-2.8.0.1
hopefully i can get on this rom fast looks too pretty
same problem, getting stuck at htc one logo
in twrp i wiped before installing
Should I convert to the GPE before flashing this or can I flash over 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 stock?

HTC Desire 510 64 bit unable to boot after OTA update

Hello
After trying to do an OTA update which failed my phone won't boot normally. If I just turn it on it boots into stock recovery and if I reboot it from there it just boots back into recovery.
I have tried to do a factory reset but it won't work, it seems like the system partition has been messed up.
I keep reading that I just need to "run the RUU" but I have no idea where I can find a RUU for my phone, it's a EU 64Bit version with no carrier. The htcdev site just lists kernel sources for my device.
Any idea how I can fix this and get back to a stock system?

Well the only way I think you're gonna be able to fix it now is to follow the thread that shows you how to root the phone and install a recovery called philz touch recovery for 64 bit and then you'll be able to install the back up recovery that other users have posted.

Glad you got it fixed because I couldn't find anything for you about the RUU for 64 bit... So I was pretty sure you could fix it by rooting it!
