I'm having problems with custom roms. I came from O.M.J version 1.4. Everything was fine and then I decided to format everything with CWM by Philz http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860. Attempted to adb push the Android Revolution HD v10 rom, but it threw an error out. So I side loaded it instead. After the install was complete I find it only boots to fastboot mode because my recovery is now gone and there's no OS. After lots of googling I learn to use fastboot command, flash a few recoveries, and end up back on TWRP to load my nandroid backup. Even with my nandroid the phone would not boot past a few seconds into the OD. Only way the phone works is if I run the stock RUU. Somehow it only works with stock RUU because if I go back to anything else the phone won't connect to the sprint network. I only get so far into the setup and it goes thru boot loop. I attempted to relock/unroot and go thru the whole steps again to flash a custom rom and I'm stumped.
To top it all off I end up posting in General instead of the Q&A. It's been a long night sorry.
fixed my problem by flashing from the oldest ruu. that let me flash my nandroid backup and have it running.
Just so you know, Android Rev. 10 doesnt support Sprint yet. Which carrier did you choose on the install?

International. I was kinda suspicious about it, but they had posted sprint compatibility first post. Mostly because of this misleading post FAQs
6. Can I flash this ROM on my T-Mobile / AT&T / Rogers... variant?
Yes, you can. The ROM will work on all the variants except Sprint, as it has some significant differences. Sprint is supported since version 9.4.

Anyway if someone happens to install the international roms. In order for me to return to the previous custom roms I had to flash Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.7_RUU then flash the custom rom O.M.J v1.4 or like me do my Nandroid backup in which both were 1.29.651.7 based. The biggest problem I had was after installing the International roms I lost my recovery. A simple "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with the recovery.img of choice worked out for me.
ive had the phone since at&t had it on display. rooted it and had various roms for the last couple years and never had any serious issues. last night i flashed jellycream v2 and then did a factory reset inside the rom. the phone prompted that it would reboot twice and that it was normal. it rebooted into twrp and did nothing afterwards. i rebooted it from the recovery and all it did was reboot back into recovery. i decided to flash a different version of twrp and still the same. then flashed clockwork and still got the same result. i wiped the bootloader and basically went through the rooting process again. flashed the latest version of twrp and the phone is still only booting into recovery.
i am at a loss because this is as far as my knowledge goes. its like the phone is stuck still trying to wait for that factory reset from the jellycream rom or something and it wont do anything else but load TWRP.
If factory hard reset will not work (with phone off, press power and volume up together for some seconds. You might want to try also holding home on the touch screen.) flashing firmware will fix it unless you have hardware failure, which I doubt.

Part 1 can be tricky, so take your time and get that right before proceeding.

so far i get the grey LG screen with 'booti mmc_read xxxx' at the upper left with the hard reset. it only takes 2 seconds to show up but the phone shuts off if i continue to hold the power and volume buttons. ill read up on that link here.
I missed that you wiped bootloader. You need that . So you could maybe just install the wkpark bootloader in recovery. You would do 1 and 3 here (1.25a file is down the page)

I think Jellycream actually requires you have it, if I remember correctly.
Not sure why factory reset would cause that issue, but it will definitely not start without bootloader.
Flashing firmware will also write the (stock) bootloader if that does not do it. It will also reinstall the OS if system is corrupt or missing.
I can't find the thread for Jellycream2. Would you post a link? Are you sure it is for P920/P925 (same device, one is AT&T branded. I have the Thrill P925). If it is not for those device numbers, you may need xbsall's unbrick guide.
Also, if Jellycream2 is based on ICS and you were on a GB ROM, you would likely have needed to first upgrade to ICS and then install the ROM.
I'm just trying to understand why a factory reset could brick your phone...

ok basic rundown of what i did in the last year;
when first played around with rooted it about a year ago i used all-in-one to do it. i had already upgraded to ics using the lg mobile support tool prior to rooting. rooting went off fine until i installed a Beats Audio app from the play store. when the phone rebooted after it would be stuck at the grey LG logo. i didnt know what to do so i used twrp and wiped the whole phone. then i used all-in-one and flashed the ICS bootloader and did the flash kernel 4 fix or something its one of the last options to do. then using twrp i flashed ICS_V20_P20, Stock_V20P_Rooted, and a Thrill Update, the phone rebooted fine in an ICS rom but it ran like complete ****, so i tried various roms and the one i settled with was called OptimusRS V1. i used that up until 2 days ago when i flashed the jellycream rom.
after i factory reset that i tried to flash the different wkpark bootloader and twrp that came with the megatron tool hoping that would fix the issue. but it did so i reflashed the original twrp and ics bootloader from all-in-one.
failed to mention this before but i tried 3 different recovery files in between each attempt and it would flash and reboot fine but the phone would still do the same thing and just load recovery.
ill find links when i get off work today. thats the basic history of the phone though.
Hmm. Stil not sure then . Maybe a corrupt zip or you wiped something important. Flashing with LG Flashtool should recover it. And always make a Nandroid backup before installing anything from recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392309
thats the jellycream rom.
im downloading the files for your xbsa rom at the moment. i do remember yesterday when i used the megatron tool i saw an option to flash the stock bootloader and recovery. i tried it but all i got was the pink LG logo then a security error message below it and the phone shut off.
Oh, ok, OptimusRS's ROM.
Hmm, I thought v20 was GB or something... If it is not ICS then that would be the problem. Also it does say there you need wkpark bootloader for that ROM.
Also, xbsall's v28B includes recovery but it is in system partition. I don't know if that ROM requires you install it from recovery partition or not.
If you still want Jellycream you should be able to flash xbsall's ICS v28B (the normal partitions one, not large partitions), then install wkpark bootloader 1.25a in recovery, then the ROM.

well that breaks down that a bit better. my progress at the moment is step f6. when i connect the phone nothing installs though. it just reconnects and disconnects every second or so. im guessing its because i already have those files. dunno though. i cant get my pc to install the adb drivers for the life of me when the phone is connected in recovery mode.it sees the new hardware just cant find the files.
actually i got it. for some reason the phone wouldnt install anything until i put the battery back in at that step. i continued successfully to step M. the phone is setting up my google account at the moment.
will flashing the baseband be necessary if my apn and sim work like the phone is now? my provider is h20(canadian i heard) but im the usa.
HUGE thanks regardless
Cool :thumbup::beer:
The no battery part is just for driver install, which is fiddly for this phone. Sometimes trial and error is a factor.
The baseband you have now would be the one you had previously. If it works, no problem. The one in the v28B pack is supposed to be optimized for the v28B .bin file, but hey, whatever works.

im only getting E for data. i tried to flash a baseband meant for at&t but it says failed after about 90 seconds. still no 4g though. i did flash the xbsav8 before i set my apn up. i might just go with an optimusRS rom again though. i was happy with it. probably not jellycream this time.
Baseband fail after 80 or so sec is normal. It means it worked. Check your baseband in android settings/about phone.
You might try speed test app to compare actual speed. ATT 4G icon is a lie on this phone IMO.
Now that your pc is set up you can flash any P925/920 bin. Kdz files (combo of bin and fls, there is another tool for flashing those files) can be extracted into separate bin and fls, but I have not done it. The advantage is you can flash baseband separately.
Xbsalls vX3D (see his page) with the P925G fls file gives me 4G icon on Straight Talk in the US, but I like his vR3D better, and I can't tell a speed difference, honestly.
I have not actually measured the speed in either, however.
And for either of those ROMs, you must flash his large partition version of v28B first...very important.
oh its definitely like 2g speeds. its pretty slow. i tried using my providers app and website and its saying the phone i have isnt registered to them anymore so it might be just that. if thats the case ill just bring it in so they can do that for me. when i rooted it the first time i wasnt getting any data and they had to re-register the phone to get it to work right.
my baseband says OMAPP4430/XMM6260. for comparison and/or confirm differences. i have no idea lol.
side question though; my sdcard still has recovery files for the optimusRS v1 rom i had on it. i really liked the setup i had when i made the recovery for it. Im tempted to reinstall it but im really not too sure if itll work or worse harm my phone again.
Lots of variables, but you must remember that xbsall's P940 recovery app he he uses has recovery in system partition. The recovery you had before was probably in recovery partition. They write restores from two different places. Probably you would get an error, but not positive. Understanding that may take some Googling...
If you try it, back up before trying to restore the old backup. Then you could hopefully restore if the restore fails, know what I mean?
Probably the safest thing is to use the all in one tool to install recovery in recovery partition and use that one to restore backup.
I do know when I have restored backups, I have wiped Dalvik, Cache, and Factory Reset (in recovery) and then restore. Then it works. Some people wipe system too.
You can usually flash to recover from a problem, but then you have to set your phone up again
Well I recovered everything. All settings and personalized stuff. Just everything. Everything is running normal again. Just now my data is saying im using an h20 microcell instead of just H20 with a 4g connection. This 2g stuff is for the birds. I'm almost thinking the firmware we flashed has something to do with it. The phone is functional though. Just slow and no mms. I haven't been able to find much on the forums about it. I'll poke around more tomorrow.

I'd try another baseband.
I can only use Sense roms ATM, and it's killing me. I have no service if I boot anything other than a modified stock ROM.
Could someone point me to all the things I need to flash to have the latest and greatest with everything working? I have yet to find a really good source for this type of info, most important things are buried in various threads it seems.
I've got rumrunner hboot 1.55.5555
Radio is 1.00.20.1108 (I flashed the modified firmware from O.M.J.'s Bad Boyz thread.)
TWRP 2.6.3.4
I did a full wipe, including internal storage, and flashed the new ViperOne update.
Booted up, and no service. So I flashed the only other thing on my USB drive, the old 4.2 Nocturnal GE. Still no service.
Went to SuperOneK, no service. So I tried ##72786#, reset, and after a few minutes my service is back.
Now I have to use stock Sense based ROMS to get service. I really don't want to RUU, is there any other way to fix this mess?
I also have instability in TWRP that other's haven't reported. Settings like screen timeout don't stick when I reboot. OTG is patchy, but that could be my cable (I'll find that out on Friday).
I have the same issue on aosp roms. But when I go back to bb it is fine.

Try flashing ViperOne and go to Venom Tweaks > Misc > Phone Info and make sure "Set preferred network type:" is set to either CDMA auto (PRL) or CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto
If that doesn't work I would try redownloading and reflashing radios/firmware
I have a verizon HTC one. Rooted, Unlocked, and TWRP installed. Ive tried installing numerous roms, the only two that have fully worked are NuSenceSIX and tiKtak Google Edition Plus. If you have any roms you suggest for HTC one on verizon shoot them my way.
ones that dont work are Android revolution HD wont boot at all, until i flash the ElementalX Kernel, then it flashes but i dont get any data what so ever. During instalation on it international version which may be the issue. And ViperOne wont boot at all, just boot loops.
CM11, Slimkat, and Liquid smooth wont even flash. Ive redownloaded each rom several times and MD5 has matched
Before every flash i wipe data, then flash 2.10.605.1 firmware, then the rom, then i boot. ANy idea why they wont work?
First off. Stop flashing kernels/firmware left right and centre just because a rom/roms won't boot up.. that's a sure way to get into a mess..
What RUU was your phone originally shipped with. Have you changed your cid/mid. If so what was your original cid/mid.
What TWRP Version are you running..
Did you make a backup of your original system
What kernel are you on at this moment.
Post a fastboot getvar all and a screenshot of your bootloader.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum but have been rooting androids for years now. I have an issue now that I have never seen before. I have my HTC One rooted, S-OFF, firmware updated, everything as it should be. Heres the problem. Whenever I try to install a rom, (Insert coin, Renovate, etc.) the install goes totally fine. However, whenever I go to reboot into the system, it just hangs at the first splashscreen. The one with the green HTC logo and the powered by android at the bottom. It has sat for 5 minutes before I decided to turn it off. Anyone know a fix to this? thanks,
Parker.
PS. All of these are Aroma install roms, if that matters.
Have you tried flashing a regular Ron without AROMA, like the stock Rooted rom?
Based on the touchscreen issues with AROMA and thus phone, are you certain that you are flashing the correct carrier?

I've run into this on the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 ROMs on my S-On HK edition. When the screen does go out after several minutes, I hit the power button and the phone works normally. I'm guessing that it has to do with old firmware being used with the 4.4.3+ ROM bases. I'm going to do Sunshine S-Off today so I can update my firmware and see if that makes a difference.
I have not tried a non aroma rom, that might just be my next step. I know for a fact it is the correct carrier rom, all the ones I have flashed are universal
I will try to do the power button thing you mentioned, thanks for the tip.
After work I will try all of these!

Just got S-Off and upgraded the firmware to the latest. The problem has been solved for me. Boots right up now.
Which firmware did you upgrade to? I tried to upgrade to 2.22xxx and it didn't fix anything for me.
