Can't install/wipe anything (rom, recovery, ecc). - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone.
I've android 6 stock (xt1068), and today i woke up and it doesn't work
I try to install the twrp and then to flash rom, ecc, but after that i install the twrp succesfully, when i go in the recovery i see that there is no twrp but the main stock recovery. This thing basically appens with everything that i install/wipe, infact the bootloader tells me that my action worked, but it didn't.
Another thing is that if i let my phone boot up, after the boot animation it tells me 'Starting Android', then this text go out, and for a second the boot animation appears again, after that all the screen goes black. (The phone is not closed, but it is showing black in the screen, i think you got it)
Thank you

[Q] [Solved] Sprint HTC One Crashing randomly after install

I've managed to install 3 different mods today. AOKP, Cyanogen and d3rp. Each one install successfully through TWRP then goes to boot. Most of the time it doesn't make it passed the boot screen. Sometimes it does and I can use my phone for about a second before it restarts. It just keeps retarting over and over. I know I flashed it right, i've wiped the cache'..I dunno what else to do. AOKP and d3rp both sometimes boot. But I cant use my phone for more than 20-30 secs if it does before it restarting..
What I did..
1. Unlock bootloader using the htcdev instructions (No issues)
2. Install custom recovery (installed TWRP no issues)
3. Flash custom mod (was able to successfully flash CM,AOKP and D3rp)
CM never got passed the boot animation.
AOKP and d3rp sometimes got passed the boot animation but then reboot almost immediately before loading the full OS.
Is there any step im missing? What can I do to get a custom mod working on this phone?
More.. Just installed Viper rom from sideload and it booted up, was able to almost finish the htc one setup when a dialog came up that siad "System process not responding" kill/wait.. and then like all the other the phone reooted and now just like AOKP it boots into a black home screen with just some icons on the statusbar then it will sit there and reboot after about a minute.
Please, anybody with some suggestions or insights?
Fixed my problem here's how..:
1. I downloaded the firmware listed on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368907
2. Relocked my bootloader using the HTC-All-In-One program
3. Flashed the firmware image
fastboot oem rebootUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <--- first time will give error, flash a second time will be success
4. Manually power cycle phone after flash finishes
5. Booted into the stock rooted sprint OS finally without any problems. I guess it was the firmware. Wondering if now I can get other mods to work. Not brave enough to try again today.
That's all
Did you have service before it rebooted ?

[Q] Stuck on White HTC Screen, Can't Boot Into Recovery

Hey guys, got a problem with my M7.
My phone was working fine. Was getting ready to flash a new rom. I moved the .zip into my root folder.
Went to reboot my phone into recovery to flash it, but it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. Powered off, booted into bootloader. Tried to enter recovery through bootloader, but I still get stuck on the white HTC screen.
Any ideas?
edit: and now, the phone won't boot at all ...

Well I'm pretty sure just copying a rom to the phone didn't do anything to it. what else happened between then and now
Nothing at all. Here's basically what I did.
1. Backed up phone in recovery.
2. Reboot.
3. Loaded rom to /root using computer.
4. Attempt to boot in recovery ..
And that's it.

is the battery dead ?
does the pc load any drivers when you plug it in ?
does the charging lights work ?
Nope, charging lights do not work ... It wasn't a full battery, but was around 70% last I remember.
Ok, was able to boot using the bright light method.
Still no dice on booting past the white HTC screen. When I try to boot to TWRP through the bootloader, it'll show the TWRP splash screen, then automatically go back to the white HTC screen.

Reflash recovery and erase cache
you may have to format data in TWRP and totally wipe the phone.
also flashing stock recovery and doing a factory reset from stock will rebuild the partitions and sometimes make the phone stable again

OnePlus 3 may be bricked (Recovery won't load

I'm not sure, but my OnePlus 3 may be bricked.
I was running FreedomOS rooted, and with TWRP recovery installed. I downloaded a substratum theme, and installed it on the phone. When I rebooted the phone to apply the changes to the UI, the phone went into a bootloop. So i try to go to the recovery, by entering it via fastboot mode. Now it's basically acting like there isn't a recovery, neither twrp or stock recovery come up, just a black screen. The OnePlus splash screen shows up for about 10 seconds, then the screen goes blank. So when I try to load a recovery via fastboot flash on my computer, it still doesn't work. I've tried multiple versions of TWRP, and the stock recovery, and nothings working so fatr. Any tips or suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks.

[Q] Possible partition corruption?

Here's the deal, I have a sprout8 device (the Indonesian Nexian Journey One) running stock 6.0 with some xposed mods installed on it. Suddenly the device shuts down and when I try to boot it up it only goes halfway through the bootanimation when it shuts down again. I wasn't too worried as I thought it was just a conflicting system issue and I also thought it was time to re-flash fresh stock 6.0 to freshen up my phone anyway. So I went ahead and did it.
Here's where the problems start to show up, I had a hard time booting to recovery through the power + volume up combination. The phone suddenly shuts down on its own as it boots up. I tried it a few times and finally got to recovery. After that, as I flashed stock 6.0 the phone shut down again. I thought it was an issue with my recovery so I tried wiping everything through fastboot and re-flashed recovery through fastboot aswell. From there I tried again to flash stock 6.0 through recovery and again, the phone shut down. I tried a different ROM thinking it was a ROM issue but still got the same results.
After hours of trying to flash a ROM through recovery (retrying over and over as it suddenly shut down while flashing), I finally got a ROM installed. Then I rebooted my phone, but again it freezes halfway through the bootanimation (literally freezing the bootanimation) and refused to do anything. I took off the battery and booted up the phone countless tries trying to get it to boot up. When it finally booted up, I filled in all the Google startup credentials and finally got started on a fresh stock 6.0. However, I tried to restore my previous application data through Android's application recovery on startup but everytime the device installs a new application it would freeze up and shut down. This happened countless times. Then the phone, once again, shut down and could not start the ROM. It would freeze up on the bootanimation.
Then things started to get weird, when the phone turns on it should show the "Nexian" logo in all its glory before going to bootanimation. But here the screen gets all distorted and shows these weird horizontal (and sometimes vertical) lines. Nothing's wrong with my phone screen so I assume it is a system error. From here on, the phone refused to boot. It just shows the Nexian logo and restarts over and over. The same thing happens even after I re-flashed both my recovery and ROM. I even tried using SP Flash Tool to re-flash stock but still the same results.
Now, the device wouldn't even turn on. But when I connect it using USB to a Windows computer, it still gets detected through device manager as an ordinary MediaTek device.
I'm assuming now that it may be a problem with the /system parition where we install our ROMs in. The partition may be (partially) corrupt. Seeing as the device could still boot the ROM a few hours ago but freezing upon updates to the stated partition.
If you guys have any other ideas/solutions I'm all ears.
