Okay so basically yesterday I got my lovely spanking HTC ONE (m7) and quickly proceeded to downloading the One_All-In-One_Kit, uncloked the bootloader and rooted the phone successfully.
I then proceeded to download ARHD and flash it accordingly, everything went swimmingly, the ROM installed via Aroma as it should, yep all nice and dandy. NO! After the installation, I rebooted, get to the HTC bootscreen, I'm presented with a nice new red message at the bottom and then the phone restarts itself, tries to enter recovery, that doesn't work, then it tries booting up again and does the same thing over and over.
I've flashed the ROM several times and get the same thing each time. I've tried RGUI and get the same sort of thing with that only with RGUI the phone doesn't try rebooting into recovery it just stays on the HTC bootscreen.
I'm desperate for help on this so please, if anyone has any insight it would be highly appreciated.
I hope you're not also flashing any of the custom kernels on here....cos they're not compatible with 4.2.2
Nope not flashing anything else but the ROM itself..
after flashing did you try "fastboot erase cache" ?
sometimes that helps when phones get stuck on the HTC logo after a rom flash.
Use the toolkit to erase cache
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yeah done that several times too. Can't seem to work out why it isn't working and I too can't find the correct RUU for my device meaning I can't even take it back to stock
try to hold power + volume down to get into the bootloader to get back into recovery. Once in recovery factory reset, erase cache, erase dalvik, and reflash the rom.
also download the andorid SDK for fastboot and adb, then try "adb reboot bootloader" if you can not get back into the bootloader to get into recovery
My friend had his do this loop as well, we had trouble getting it into recovery, but held the button combo of power and vol down several times (probably 10) and it FINALLY booted into the custom Clockwork recovery, then we reflashed and it worked like a charm.
Also try redownloading... it could be a bad download

Just a word of advice. Update your profile to say your country and carrier. It helps people identify which device model and carrier you use.
Thanks for the help so far guys, basically I can get into recovery, that's not the problem, the problem is the phone gets stuck on the HTC screen after the ROM has been installed. I'll try downloading the ROM again when I can, in the hope that it is just a bad download. Hopefully this is the case and re-flashing a newly downloaded ROM will solve all my issues.
I'll post back with the result as and when I can.

new twrp's won't work
Hi there,
I just tried to root my htc mini 2 with and it says that it is tampered now and I can't reboot my recovery. So I tried the newest twrp and some in between because I've read in this forum that somebody had the same problem and he just got the newest twrp but that didn't work for me at all.
Is there any way to undo the whole thing by replacing the twrp with the original one or do I have to wait till there is gonna be a root for the htc mini 2?
When I try to recover everything it says that this build is for development purpose only...
Does somebody have an idea?
I would appreciate it a lot if somebody has an idea.

When the bootloader says "tempered" means that it was unlocked. when you see " this build is for development purpose only" its referring to TWRP because you now using a custom recovery. Not sure the nature of your problem but to undo, simply boot into boot loader and flash original recovery.img you can find in the forum.
I can't you open TWRP?

Thank you for the quick respond and I wanted to try and undo everything but no my problem is that my phone completely froze in the twrp screen. I can't do anything, I can't unlock it nor shut down my phone or start the bootloader... that kind of sucks. Any suggestions now? Is it possible to open the htc one mini 2 and take out the battery? or do I have to wait till it runs out by it self and than start it again?

Unresponsive after boot up from dead battery
THanks to U-ra I get the enjoy my fav DSP Viper!!!
Cheers Man,
I have a small niggling problem that I can't work out, My battery tends to die alot, once I place the phone on charge after a flat battery, the phone auto boots to Twp, I am really cool with that but the annoying thing is buttons and screen are unresponsive? I can't do a thing, just have the Twp menu. The power of button does turn the screen off/on but thats its. Tried doing factory resets, reboots holding down power, vol buttons. Just nothing.
only way around it is to use adb and reboot command.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...recovery-twp-2-7-1-0-one-mini-2-t2801370/page 4 here's the answer, so far
@u-ra is there any clue about getting official twrp support? (I was thinking about that problem of the self-booting recovery when phone is off and plugged in)

Help: Stock rom updated between boots, TWRP non responsive, fastboot doesnt recognise
Hello to anyone that can help or in a similar situation,
Have brand new HTC one mini 2, rooted. Am trying to install cyanogenmod and followed the instructions on their page. All went well and was ready to flash the rom from TWRP. Decided to do a backup to SD first and then apply super user. Forced to reboot and accidentally let it boot to android (stock rom). Didnt notice the last time i had it booted wifi downloaded a system update which was automatically applied next time i booted into the stock rom after backup and Superuser in TWRP. Rebooted to recovery (TWRP) as soon as i could, but TWRP is no longer responding to touch. I realise i have probably updated the phone to a point where TWRP is no longer working, and i have to use something else to flash my rom. Am trying to flash an updated TWRP or Clockworkmod recovery, but fastboot/adb no longer recognise the device when booted into the stock rom, and when i boot into TWRP (non-responsive) it also doesnt recognise the device attached, even if i catch it before the screen goes black from inactivity. Any suggestions greatly appreciated....

A kind member replied to me in another post indicating that fastboot commands only work in the bootloader, and that adb commands only work in TWRP which is why I am having problems re-flashing TWRP (requiring the "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" command). However I thought TWRP replaced the bootloader, so I seem to be locked out of re-flashing TWRP because i have TWRP. This seems not to make a lot of sense, can anyone else confirm or otherwise explain what I have misunderstood about that?

I think I have found the solution for myself: I went back into the stock rom and did a factory reset (from within android booted up as normal), which after completion rebooted me into TWRP which now works fine (is responding to touch again, and i can flash the Cyanogen image now). Hopefully this helps someone else in this situation one day, or maybe I am the only idiot that needed to ask hehe. I should clarify that after flashing TWRP I lost access to the fastboot screen and could not push anything over ADB or fastboot commands from windows (plugged in via USB). Holding down volume down and power booted directly into TWRP, and i had no way to get to fastboot screen. After doing factory resent from within the Android OS, holding volume down and power booted me to the fastboot screen, and only when I selected "Recovery" did it take me to TWRP, and I was again able to run fastboot and ADB commands from PC. Weird (or maybe not if you know more than me), but there it is...

Sorry, but it seems to me that you don't know the difference between bootloader and recovery. I apologize if you do. If not, search in CM wikis or ask here for explanations.

I do indeed know the difference between the bootloader and recovery, its just that the bootloader (Hboot) was not longer accessible in my situation and TWRP (the recovery) was imposing itself when you would normally expect to find the bootloader (i.e. my bootloader was for all intents and purposes replaced by my recovery, while I am sure this is not true in fact, it was in effect). As I say, doing a factory reset from within the OS restored the bootloader (HBoot) and I was able to continue modding. I am today extremely happy with my fully secured cyanogenmodded HTC One Mini 2 via TWRP recovery method. I hope that is somewhat clearer.
Can you enter bootliader now? I got stuck in a bootloop once and couldn't enter bootloader because I continued pressing power and Volume down like I did on my One S. For Mini 2, we have to hold the Volume UP and Power buttons until HBOOT appears, then release the buttons.

That may well have been an alternative solution to my problem, however it was fixed by the factory reset and volume down and power then took me to HBoot (this would appear to contradict what you have said above, but maybe volume down and power does different things depending on how what you have done to the phone, not sure), so I cannot confirm whether or not that also would have worked for me. Good suggestion though, especially if you are not in a position to do a factory reset. and it would certainly be easier if it worked...I am convinced my problem was the result of a conflict between the TWRP version i installed (downloaded from here) and the android update that occurred between boots.
I am indeed able to get into bootloader/hboot and successfully flashed cyanogenmod from TWRP. I can confirm post flashing TWRP and Cyanogenmod, holding volume down and power takes me to HBoot (and then the option to go to fastboot or recovery).
Holding power up and power just loads cyanogenmod for me now as if I had just pressed power.
I thought I should confirm whether or not holding volume up vs volume down with power results in bootloader vs recovery loading. For me, they both took me to TWRP.
Also, TWRP doesnt seem to work on HTC One Mini 2 after you do anything to set up your phone. It just doesnt recognise touch input any more so you cant do anything with it. However the fix i noted earlier (factory reset) even works with other roms installed, confirmed for cyanogenmod 11 and 12 nightlies as at the date of this post. After factory reset TWRP works again, but if you go through the setup steps and start installing apps, TWRP goes unresponsive again. I hope we might get an official TWRP update soon!
EDIT: Wish I could delete this. Just found a post about how to fix this...but it involves opening the phone and messing with the hardware. Wish someone could walk me through it :s
So, I hope I didn't, but here is the scenario:
Wanted to install Lollipop ROM from KitKat...tried, failed, found out I needed to have a downgraded radio. Okay...use LG Flash Tool to give myself another try. Load up Jellybean...couldn't figure out how to flash custom recovery in Jellybean as all tutorials are outdated or just didn't work when I tried them, so I thought the best way to do it was to get the Kitkat OTA from Verizon and let it install, then flash a custom recovery (since I figured out how to do that with Kitkat...Autorec), then flash the old radio then the Lollipop ROM and voilà. However, when waiting for the download for Verizon OTA, I tried again to install a custom recovery, and when tried to load it, I just got a black screen. So I just decided to go back into the Android OS and install the OTA once it finished downloading...
The OTA finished downloading and I clicked install, my phone then rebooted...and stupid me didn't even realise what I have just done. The OTA tried going to recovery mode to install...but there's nothing there. Now I am stuck at a black screen that is trying to start recovery mode and when trying to reboot and get into download mode, it won't let me and just goes to the broken recovery mode.
So...can't really think of any other options for me. What can I do? When I plug it into my computer, it connects my phone as like 20 different drive letters that all say they need to be formatted.
So my question is...what can I do?
This is my first post and I'm in need of some help that I can't seem to find anywhere when searching the internet. I'm not a developer nor am I close lol I just have tons of fun learning the development process - it's seriously one of my favorite things to do. Anyways I've messed up royally with my Galaxy Note 5 N910P and I'm stumped on what I should do next! So here's the issue: My Note 5 will not stop boot looping!!! I've flashed stock, almost every version that I'm able to and nothing has worked. The last thing I remember doing before it started this b.s is rooting with CF Auto root. I've always used twrp then flashed Supersu and the dm verity and never had issue! But after flashing the CF Auto root I kept getting kernel is not seandroid enforcing and then the dreadful boot loop issue that has been going on for three days now! Is there something i'm missing? or not doing right? Please message me and let me know, and if this is the wrong place to post about this, I dont mind if my post is taken down just at least help with my question some how! Thank you, XDA is my favorite place - you guys are awesome, I don't trust any other source!!!

First of all you have entered wrong model no here note 5 model no should be SM-N920xx
1)Have you enabled Oem unlocking from developers option before flashing twrp and cf-autoroot using odin? If not then you done a mistake!!
2) Have you tried to flash latest stock firmware using odin with latest usb drivers installed on you pc and proper odin flashing guide?(Flash latest 6.0.1 for your device with latest usb drivers installed on pc and connect phone to main usb port using original usb cable) After flashing stock rom if your facing bootloop then you can try reset through stock recovery (Press volume down+power button to switch off your phone..When screen shuts off immediately press volume up+power+home key simultaneously untill you see Samsung galaxy note 5 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery from there choose wipe data/factory reset..After reset complete reboot your device)
3)If you can boot into twrp recovery normally then flash any custom rom suitable for your device i.e. for sm-n920p..Custom roms are pre-rooted so no need to flash cf-autoroot..Flash custom rom, if you successfully boot up the rom( It's difficult to boot custom rom though if you haven't enabled oem unlocking you will face custom binary is blocked by frp protection),then enable oem unlocking from developers option and try flashing stock rom again
4) Next option for you is download Samsung smart switch for pc, install latest usb drivers on your pc, connect your phone to pc in download mode(Press volume down+power+home button simultaneously),in smartswitch select emergency software recovery, it will ask you imei,model no and serial no which you can find either on box or back panel of your phone,smartswitch will detect latest stock firmware for your device, hit update now,give some time until update complete..Your device will be automatically reboot..If even you face bootlopp, then goto stock recovery(Press volume down+power button to switch off your phone..When screen shuts off immediately press volume up+power+home key simultaneously untill you see Samsung galaxy note 5 logo, release keys..You are now in stock recovery from there choose wipe data/factory reset..After reset complete reboot your device)
**IF SUGGESTION IN SECOND POST HELPS YOU THEN ITS DONE, AVOID NEXT SUGGESTIONS**
Are you sure you can't install cf auto root again to solve it? IF not...
I did a search and got hits for twrp for N910P. Get it loaded, get it wiped and have another shot at success. Next way to get rid of the persistent rooter gone rogue, load up a factory BL + AP. If that doesn't work download another version and try again.
I've enabled OEM unlocking, flashed latest stock AP...BL.. And so on, factory reset in both factory and TWRP. I have also tried flashing CF Auto root again to see if that would fix it also custom ROMs bootloop except for CM13 and Lineage OS- Which is weird because the ROMs are for the SM N920C model and I'm and Sprint model, So I don't understand that. Weird!! Everything recognizes me as SM N920C except when I am in download mode. Also, having no imei or any back ups make its even harder since my computer completely crashed on me because I am unable to use Samsung smart switch due to the wrong model and null imei. So I'm completely stumped with this issue. Not sure if its a corrupted partition or folders not being in the correct folder locations along with wrong permissions, I've literally stressed everything to my knowledge about this and I'm all out of what issues this could be related to
