I'm about to update ARHD and I'm hoping someone can confirm my process is correct.
I've got the T-Mo HTC One, Rooted, S-On, Custom Rocovery. I've flashed the newest radio, but haven't done any other firmware updates from stock. Currently running ARHD 22.0.
I was going to "clean" flash the rom, reboot, and then flash a Titanium Backup update.zip for user apps+system data.
Anything else?
Thanks!

Not sure if the Titanium Backup will put things in the right spots, if any of the file structure changed from 4.2 to 4.3.
Otherwise you should be good. I used Helium to ensure that the apps got their data restored, but I was moving from ARHD 9.4 to 31.0
What was your process for moving from 9.4 to 31? I'm presently on 12 and want to upgrade. I've never upgraded firmware (no fast boot access with win 8.1). Thanks!

Hi guys, so yesterday I decided to take the plunge and unlock my evo 3d with htc's tool. It seemed to work as expected (s-on with unlocked banner). I was then able to flash cwm 4.0.1.4 and root using the su zip floating around on here.
My issue seems to be that aside from the nandroid backup I made all the roms I have tried break wifi giving the wifi error instead of on or off. I tried synergy rom, viper rom and viper rom with silverneedle. I also noticed when I was flashing in recovery it would say unable to mount sd-ext and it looked like under the settings> about phone> software information that the kernel had not changed.
I'm at a loss as to why, but I think it may be related to htc's unlock method, although I am fairly noob and may be totally wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Since you used the HTC method then you have the newest OTA updates and bootloader. Your banner should say S-OFF though if you had a typo above about that.
You cannot flash a new kernel yet with the new hboot. You need to stick with the stock one for now.
When flashing other ROMs are you doing a complete wipe first? If not, that might be your problem.
Go to the Development section. Many useful instructions and guides are there.
That's what I was afraid of, but that wasn't a typo. My bootloader says ****UNLOCKED**** with S-On. I was reading that this was what was to be expected with the htc unlock though.

If it's still letting you use Super User and says you're rooted then it should be OK I guess. The main thing is when switching to a completely new ROM you should always do a full wipe - everything except sdcard.
There's a superwipe zip you can flash in recovery that will do all the necessary wipes for you.
I was wiping data/cache and dalvik cache. I'll take a look at the superwipe zip. I'm ok with stock rooted for now but it would be nice to use roms at some point.
Sent from my Shooter using XDA App
Yeah just wiping cache and dalvik isn't going to work. New ROM means backing up apps (if you want), then full wipe. That will wipe the system and data too (and I think android.secure and sd-ext).
Ok. Finally got everything to work. I used superwipe but I also had to use one of the synergy nightlies based on 2.3.4 to get my radios to work properly. Currently running synergy build 331 and it runs great. Thanks for the help

I have the same problem:
wifi error
Kernel doesn't change
Also my Android version now shows 2.3.3
Can you please tell me how you got it fixed?
Sorry I'm a noob... Details would help. Thank you
if you upgraded to HBoot 1.5 and used HTC's unlocker you have to install a 2.3.4 ROM or the WiFi and possibly 4G radio will break. If you are interested in Synergy ROM try their RLS1 build or any build version 319 or newer
i cant post a url here cuz i am still a new user on the forums but go check out the official nightly folder linked in the following thread:

Any ideas as to why my phone will randomly restarts when it's sitting idle after a fresh ROM install, full wipe, cache, dalvik, system?
I'm installing the latest MeanROM and latest Infected Eternity, same result.
I reinstall all my apps from previous ROMs from either myback up pro or the market

what hboot are you using? sounds like the rom isnt getting the permission it needs to install the boot systems and data partitions also are you unlocked if youre on hboot 1.5 or if you have atleast hboot 1,4 with s-off?rooted?

Are you restoring apps+data or just apps???

Thanks for replies!
Bit of background:
-This is a new phone (and by new, i've owned it since it was out of the original box), not a refurb.
-HBoot 1.4
-S-OFF
-When I mentioned restoring the apps from MyBackup Pro, It was only with APKs; but it also happened when I just had it redownload them all from Google Play. I did the restore method via MyBackup Pro as an attempt to see if it would help.
-Stock battery
The only thing I can think is it's an app that is just not sitting right with the ROM?
I'm using the Infected Eternity ROM now and it just will randomly restart when it sits there idle.

What software are you guys ? 2.17 or 2.08 ? I have seen a few folks have issues flashing 2.17 builds because they are still on 2.08 software and never updated to the latest...
When I look under "About phone" it says my software number is 2.17.
I've done the RADIO Only update, other than that I haven't done any other updates. I know there's the software update thread but I was hesitant to do it because I wasn't clear on what it was doing except for the RADIO ONLY update. I don't want to update my HBOOT to 1.5 lol
Bump? To the top!
Are you flashing a different kernel with your rom??? Also you should flash the aio that freezas or haux put up because I'm taking a guess here but I think your running a newer base Rom with out the updates and from what I've read that can cause some issues. Here's the hboot link that haux posted flash the one with out the hboot. I've personally flashed both of theese zips without issue. Also you should "IMO" not ever use Google to restore your apps or data. It has been know to cause system conflicts. I've never used mybackup so I can't comment on that but I'm sure its better than Google Lol I'd recommend using tb or tb pro. Also I'd recommend only backing up really important apps and just reinstalling the rest to avoid conflicts in the future. Hope this helps.

Also after you flash that you should do this

That should help with the issues. Hope it does.

The first link I get this: "Valid download request check failed.
Please click here and try your download again."
I just did this about 20minutes ago before reading your reply: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21374142&postcount=131
Do you think that is the same thing and sufficient for what I may be missing that's causing it? Next I'll do an SD card wipe if it continues
Are you trying to download this from your phone ??? If so try a pc. Also i have the zip if you cant download it. However I just tried it and the link works. Remember download the non hboot zip. Also if your trying from your phone use the stock browser and open up the settings menu and uncheck mobile view to see if that will allow you to download the zip. Also the first link I posted is a more up to date zip than the one you flashed.

If you have s-off on 1.4 you can update to 1.5 without losing s-off. That's what i did, used htcdev method to unlock bootloader and retained s-off. I used revolution to get s-off originally.
And you probably need to flash all the 2.17 stuff i used a zip that had everything in it found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21374142&postcount=131
Hope that helps
Updating with the update I linked seems to have worked!
Thanks guys for the help
I am looking for a stock rooted 2.13 ROM to flash. I see a bunch of modded ones in the android development section but I am looking for a pure stock one, can anybody point me in that direction? I'm not seeming to have any luck.
Also, can I just flash it over my current 1.22 version like an OTA would do without wiping data?
You should be able to flash a the ROM without losing data but it would probably be better to use titanium backup to save all the data in case something doesn't go right

Stock Rooted DeOdexed 2.13.651.1its always a good idea to wipe the phone
If it is purely stock then try wiping just cache and dalvik cache at the least. As om4 said above, make sure u back up in titanium and/or make a backup of your data before flashing.
Just went from stock 1.13.651 to 2.13 with flex's stock with goodies. Wiped only the caches and it installed fine. Everything like I left it.
U may want to try the flex rom too. It is pretty much all stock with multitasking fixed.
Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
I flashed the 1.22 ota without wiping without any problems. I'm sure if it is modded in various ways it would be a problem but taking an ota doesn't wipe your phone. I'm gonna try the deodexed version. Do I have to flash the firmware/radios as well?
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE using Tapatalk
Nope
I use the same one you're asking for. Just a stock, no modified ROM + Root.
I would still advise wiping before flashing this as well as updating your firmware if you haven't.
Alas, here is the link for the Stock Odex 2.13.651.1 http://d-h.st/som
Hope this helps.
Just flashed the deodexed stock version plus the new radio/firmware update and everything is running great. Thanks for the help guys!

Hey there,
I'm currently on Newt's rom version 2.0 (Android 4.1.2) on my DNA.
From what I can tell, there are some pretty decent roms out there now.
I'd like some help with understanding which is the best rom available (least known bugs such as voip issue or wifi trobule). Had my eye on santod's NuSense. Is the kernel replacement (NuKernel) stable and recommended?
And besides that, I'd love it if someone could help me understand what is the exact procedure I need to go through when upgrading (radio, hboot, etc.).
And besides that, what free backup app do you recommend? TB is great but restoring with the free version is quite frustrating..
Thanks a bunch!

Honestly I had been going from rom to rom, and just restoring from my nandroid backups using nandroid manager. I had been running CM11, but with older radios and firmware. I decided it was time to fully wipe and start fresh, while also upgrading radios and firmware.
First I copied all my data and pictures onto my computer. Next I ran the 3.06 RUU to get me somewhat up to date. Then I ran the KK firmware update zip that santod had in his stock KK thread. After that I installed his GPE edition rom to try it out. It was missing some features I liked in CM11 so I decided to wipe and go back to CM. I installed that, along with crpalmers kernel and the motox KK dalvik libs for CM11. Since then I would say my phone is running better than ever. More battery life, faster, its just nice. I have 0 issues with CM11, no problems at all with GPS or wifi.
TL DR might be best to copy data off and RUU, start fresh. I recommend CM11, especially if you arent the biggest fan of Sense. For backups I just do a backup from within CWM, and restore using nandroid manager
Well actually I really like sense..
And about the backup I was referring to something similar to TB (apps and such)..
But thanks anyways

Nandroid manager will restore apps from your CWM backup, as well as texts and a few other things
coolness..
Well, I think I'm to upgrade to @santod040 rom..
Does WiFi/VoIP work correctly? Any other known issues?
So if I understand correctly, the procedure is as follows:
1. Install TWRP 2.7.0.0 - done
2. Perform Nandroid backup - done
3. upgrade hboot and radio to latest version
4. wipe data+cache
5. flash ROM
6. flash kernel (NuKernel?)
7. boot rom
8. recover data with Nandroid Manager
did I miss anything?
thanks alot!

Format /system as well before you install the ROM. Other than that, you should be golden. Worst comes to worst you can just restore, but you should be fine I've done pretty much this exact same thing several times without issue. Wifi works but Im not sure about VOIP (never used it)
Hi everyone,
Been installing various versions of CyanogenMod on my devices since CM7, worked my way up from a Nook Tablet to my HTC One M8 and have never had an issue like this.
I got my ATT HTC One M8 at the end of last year, and on day one unlocked the bootloader, installed CM11, and never looked back. When CM12 came out, I found out I had to update the firmware to the new 3.19 version, so I set it aside and stayed with CM11 for awhile. It's my work phone, so it wasn't that important, and I had CM12 running fine on my LG G2, so I could keep up with changes.
Well, last week was slow at work, so I found the bootable RUU to reflash stock HTC Sense, applied it, worked fine, and then restored my backup of CM11 so I could easily upgrade to CM12 with my shiny new bootloader. That went fine except I lost my IMEI, phone said no sim detected. Well, crap. I restored my backup of stock rooted, and IMEI was back, able to make phone calls. Ok, no problem I thought, I'll just flash CM12 directly. I did that, and once again, it loses the IMEI.
What am I doing wrong? Phone is S-On, Bootloader unlocked. Running Sense Rom. Do I need to convert to GPE? Pay $25 to go S-Off?
Really not a huge fan of Sense, so assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You don't need to convert to GPE, and you don't need s-off. Although I'm not a CM12 user on this device (use it on my tablet).
You might check the CM12 thread, as maybe there is just an issue with the latest nightly builds, or something like that.
It's affecting cm11 on my phone too, when I restore from backup, no data, no calls.

I'm running CM12 just fine on my M8. I was having this problem with earlier nightlies. Try installing the latest nightly. Also make sure you do a full wipe before installing CM12. If it works, I recommend installing the app CyanDelta to keep up with the latest nightlies!

Got it running now. It didn't like restoring my full twrp backup, so I did a ti backup, downloaded 4/4/15 nightly, full wipe, and we're up and running.
