i recently unlocked and rooted my htc one max (Verizon) U.S....and I must have done something bad, cause now it fires up, but I have a message popping up saying my system UI has stopped working. I have searched all over my phone and can't even find a recovery...please help...and yes, I am a noob, so, sorry if this is a dumb situation..thanks
Since you're unlocked, you could go over to the bootloader and flash a recovery. After that sideload a rom and your recovery will do the rest!
You need to install a custom recovery so you can backup your phone for such problems. I hope it helps.

I had an issue kinda similar like this and ended up having to flash the RUU through the bootloader. It is the stock firmware 605.19, and I had to reroot. It's a pain I know but it works

I to had to this at one point and it does work. I would first try to flash cwm in fastboot though. Sometimes that works.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.

From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Do you by chance have a working link to the stock recovery? I have been trying to find one without success.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

I got my boot loader unlocked successfully following the step by step instructions. I successfully installed twrp. I tried flashing the superSU file using twrp I downloaded from here but every time I try it fails. I've flashed the boot.IMG I got from here and still can't flash the supersu files and cant flash pre rooted roms to get successfully rooted. I even tried rebooting into recovery to flash again but no success no matter how many times I try. I used every tool that is released here and nothing works. Does anybody know why and am I the only person? I have the us version of the Droid DNA from Verizon. I just upgraded to it on 1/13/2013 and its 100% new & not refurbished.
I did a Google search and I read a little about s-on and s-off . If my Droid DNA is s-on how do I convert it to s-off. I don't know for sure but that maybe why trying to get my phone rooted is failing for me. Is that what my problem is?

Yes when I flash the supersu files it said failed md 5 not found or something like that and when I tried to install a prerooted ROM it was over 800mb in size and it was taking more than 15 to install so I stop it. I tried another ROM and it started to install for about a second and it just stopped and rebooted my phone.
I don't know how to use the cwrm because it will not install anything from the internal memory so I can select the supersu files or ROM. I dont know anything about side loading but I tried somebody's tool I got from here to side load a ROM but it would not work for me.
Did you watch video on YouTube. That helped me a lot.

You can always just flash a stock rooted Rom if you can't gain root.

What happens when you say flashing the file fails?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Thanks I'm fine now. I got rooted and got the pre rooted stock installed. I don't know why I was having all that problems rooting. I keep getting the message failed every time I tried flashing using the twrp but last night I successfully got root after flashing using twrp. I thought I was dreaming and almost fell over when I finally got rooted. Also the superSU dont update the su. I launched the SuperSU and it said to update the su file but when I did it also failed. The superuser is working better than SuperSU so far. Thanks y'all.
The message I was getting was just failed. The text on the twrp is so small its to hard to read.

I had the same issue, my phone would constantly freeze when trying to flash a new rom, or if it went through i would get an infinite boot loop. i dont know what i did to fix it, re-stocked my phone with the RUU, and flashed the battery plus rom, it went through and has worked beautifully since. so maybe try that rom and see if it works for you like it did with me, i tried HATKA and CODIS with no luck
This is the information for my phone.

I bought a phone from gumtree and it was rooted. I prefer it not to be rooted so i deleted the root and noticed the phone had a recovery system. So it went to that when i rebooted the phone. I then accidently wiped the data of the phone and everything. All i have access to is the recovery system and the bootloader. So basically my phone has no OS installed. Also in the bootloader i can see that it says *TAMPERED*, because the guy rooted it, and *UNLOCKED*, meaning the bootloader is unlocked anything is possible. However my S-On, security is on. I learnt how to switch from UNLOCKED TO RELOCKED.
Now, I downloaded the source codes for the phone from HTCDEV, I got the HTC ONE, T-Mobile, DE Version, 1.29.111.16 which is the one for me. I am stuck and i dont know what to do next. I was wondering if anyone could help me but firstly, i would like to know if i can go into a T-Mobile shop and they could help me.
If you reply check google or youtube, try what they did. Trust me unless their phone is bricked, they are in a better situation than me. The videos and tutorial show people with an rooted OS changing to a stock OS (original out of the box OS). The point is i have No OS installed so thats really annoying.
Thank You

Well I may have truly found out how to brick this phone. First what you want to do is unlock the bootloader, then flash a recovery. Next you want to gain SU on the phone and root. If your their and you want to brick your phone you will need to do the following steps.
1. Forget to create a restore
2. Flash the google nexus 4.3 to the phone
3. realize it in a boot loop
4. format data on the phone (yeah that's right...I wiped everything)
5. sit back and admire your work.
Any ideas?

Can you get into recovery?
There is a way to adb a rom file onto the phone using twrp as long as you can get into recovery and the pc recognizes the phone....if no recovery though I don't know.. would have to be able to get into fastboot and flash twrp.

I have tried to side losd a rom but either I'm doing it wrong or it just won't work. I keep getting errors. I can reboot the phone from ADB on the computer but I can't seem to move any information across...Heck I can even lock and unlock the bootloader but not side load.

Oh, i feel your pain, Just "soft" bricked my phone. Lucky it has plenty of juice and i was still able to get to booloader. Somewhat of an easy fix. But boy did my heart start pumping.
When you reboot, what does it do? Just sit there on the HTC screen, not light up at all, or something else?
I only ask because I thought I borked mine today going from the OTA, to .12, to S-OFF, the accidentally making it ENG S-OFF, and then the screen not lighting up when I'd try to do anything.
But I was able to get the silver HTC screen to pop up and flash the 4.1.2 RUU to go to WWE 4.2.2.

You will need to at the very least remove twrp if you want to do the ota, check your device forum for specifics as I'm sure a quick search there will give you all the info needed
