:cyclops:hi guys, first of all thank you because you have saved me many times in the past just by reading through the forums. but this time
nothing seems to help me, i have a htc one m8 from sprint, and i tried to root it and install a custom room. And i did rooted now my device
shows tempered and bootloader is unlocked. I used twrp for the custom recovery later i tried to install android revolution one 4.0
and did not work but not only that i erase the partition of the phone so i soft bricked and my phone end up stuck on the boot loader not even
twrp will work :crying:and i try to repair the partition by using some comands that i found, but my phone was not getting recognized by adb just fastboot.
After a day i try a different custom recovery philz. and that one worked so i was able to enter to recovery, and i don't know why but when im inside the recovery my phone gets recognize by adb. I try to repair the partition, but since i have to grant access on the phone is not able to finish. so i tried to install
different rooms such as viper, badseed and it goes through the set up, but when it finish it just gets stuck on the boot loader again. I been trying
to install the stock room but i haven't been able to find it, i found a link in many different forums but the links are broken i been dealing with this
issue for over 5 days and don't know what to do. i will really apreciate if someone cuold help me please forgive me if you don't understand me but
english is not my native lenguage, so i don't speak it very well. also i'm a noob on rooting so i may not know a lot by the way my phone is s-on. help will be
really appreciate.
If you are S-On, when flashing a rom, it will not be able to automatically flash the kernel (boot.img) unless it specifically states in the OP it does by the developers. Most of the time, you'll just need to extract the boot.img and place it in the folder you have fastboot, then when connected in bootloader / fastboot mode run this : fastboot flash boot boot.img
after you flash the rom. Just boot into it right after, flash, and the just type : fastboot reboot
Should be good to go. FYI : adb isn't intended to work in bootloader and fastboot doesn't work in recovery. Nothing wrong there.

Well, I definitely see a couple issues with that list...
The Viper 6.0.0 should be this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334294 Which is for the International M7.
The Bad Boyz rom you posted should be the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635051 - This is for the M7 version.
The BadSeed rom should be the one posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694471 - Also for the M7 (hence the M8 *PORT* in the title thread.
Now, HTC was stupid for giving the new phone the same name, I'll give you that, and XDA doesn't have it set to really filter well between the 2 forums, BUT stuff like the date posted could have been a give-a-way as well. But honest mistakes for sure. So, how to fix from here since your partitions are probably thoroughly hosed...? Hmm. Since I don't think there is an official Sprint RUU, that will be tricky. You will most likely need to get a hold of a very experienced HTC dev like the one's whose roms you were trying to use. The Viper, Bad Boyz, and BadSeed dev teams are all very good at most everything HTC. Another option is the developer : Captain_Throwback. He is very knowledgeable about HTCs from top to bottom and seems to be pretty helpful. Your casual helper will most likely not be able to provide as detailed help as you would need in this situation.

1 of 2 ways : post on a thread they have up, or click on their name on the left pane of the forum thread and it should give you options to Private Message the member. Keep in mind, many developers are busy people and some of them just ignore their PMs because they get so many for simple questions. Yours is certainly not gonna be the easiest fix.

and believe me that i been reading for day trying to find a solution to my problem but hopefully soon with some help can be able to do it and if you want i can post and update in here of how finally i was able to fix it... thanks
First off, this should be posted in the Sprint M8 Q&A forum.
Next, I assume you have a stock nandroid, as that's the first thing everyone should do after getting a custom recovery installed on the device. So start by restoring that. If for some reason you don't have that, I believe there's one floating around in the "Stock ROM or any" thread in Sprint M8 General or Q&A.
Once you can boot up the device, you should be good to proceed to S-OFF and flash only ROMs specified for the Sprint M8 variant.
My pleasure. It's how I like to give back to the community. I have a ridiculous amount of experience with everything root, recovery, rom, mods, themes, apps, etc related after modding 100s of phones and tablets, but these type of issues require the next tier of experience when you're getting into semi uncharted territory due to how new the device is and that HTC hasn't released the official update utility for it. But yea, you should post back, just in case another member runs into the same problem and you can help point them in the right direction.

I'm not sure I understand. What does deleting all data have to do with your backup? Are you saying your backup got deleted? In that case, do what I said and find the one I referred to and restore that.

He flashed 3 or 4 different roms that were for the M7 or not for his version of the M8. Pretty sure that the partitions are borked at this stage as properly flashing the correct M8 rom and fastboot flashing the boot.img has not gotten him out of trouble.

If restoring the above doesn't work, you can try this:
- Relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
- Download signed firmware zip from here. Flash via fastboot (fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, fastboot reboot-bootloader)
- Unlock bootloader via HTCDev.
- Download TWRP Recovery from here and fastboot flash (fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8_whl.img)
- Download Stock Rooted ROM from here and flash via TWRP.

I'm to HTC and rooting a phone. Wanted to know how hard it is to root and what is a good safe rom to go with for my first try. Thxs, any help would be useful
Since your new, might I suggest the search button? Your exact question has been asked a few times before.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
It's not hard at all. I suggest you read a lot before you do anything though. There are several guides in the dev section and you would do yourself a favor to read all of them as well as the replies in the thread. And read the entire thread of any ROM you are thinking of flashing. List of guides, roms, kernels etc here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425091
First thing to do is check if you have the update or not. You'll want it before you unlock and root. Go into Settings > About phone > More and see if your baseband is 0.95.00.1118r, 0.95.00.1223r and your software should be 2.x. I don't have the exact number because I went with a ROM that is based on the build before the OTA. If your baseband matches the above you should have the update and are ready to unlock.
Follow the instructions here to unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20780879#post20780879
Once you are unlocked you will want to flash Amon Ra, a custom recovery, which will let you make backups and flash stuff easier and allow you to root.
Get that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339679
Put that img file in the same folder you used for unlocking.
Boot your phone into bootloader by shutting down, pull the battery and put it back, hold volume down + power until the white bootloader screen comes up. Select fastboot, connect it to your pc and use the following command:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Once that is flashed, select bootloader, then recovery. Navigate to the developer menu in recovery and install su. Now you are rooted. I would make a nandroid in recovery at this point and label it as stock rooted so you always have this to go back to should you have any problems.
Then pick a ROM and the instructions for flashing that will be in the thread. I would stick to GB until you are more comfortable then you can try ICS. ICS ROMs are still a bit buggy and don't have everything functioning perfectly so read up before you flash any of them.
Ineffabilis is a good ROM that I've used. People like CleanRom and Nils Business Sense. You should just read the threads and see what they offer and pick one. You can always try another one afterwards.

^ This. I'm all for answering questions and everything, but it's annoying when people don't even try to search for the answer themselves. But there is always someone that will answer their question... So the cycle will go on.
I agree one should do there own research, but rooting can be a little overwhelming to someone that is new to it. Its ok to ask for a little guidance.

The point to be made is to ask in one of the threads that was already created(and found via search). I can honestly say that it doesn't matter either way to me. A little forum etiquette would be nice though.
i have a motorola atrix 4g from at&t and i want instal a rom for europe(with option for 2G,and option for data conection),
what rom can i use and instructions?
thanks
Did you search around the forum already?
i found something with csrom,but no instructions for instal
I think you need to do some more searching and reading. And by "some more" I mean "a LOT more".
"Something with csrom"? You could've at least read up about what it even is.
Word of advice: the phone is not your windows PC made for dummies, you don't install things here by simply starting an EXE file and clicking "Next" a few times. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, it's way too early for you to be looking at ROMs.
However, I want to applaud you for at least opening the thread in the right section. Too many people can't even get that right.
if you want to help me with some real answers is ok,if not please don't post with some like "However, I want to applaud you for at least opening the thread in the right section. Too many people can't even get that right".
thanks
Rom 2g selectable
If you are rooted and have custom recovery flash Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 there is a stable version available for download on there site.

That was the help... Shame you don't realize it. Sorry if you got offended by that, but that was for your own good.
If you get stuck at some point while flashing, I'll be more than glad to offer advice. However, I won't ever serve things for you on a silver plate because you couldn't be bothered to search and read. "Give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you'll keep him fed the rest of his life." In other words, you'll get far more benefits from searching and reading and learning on your own than from me serving you numbed down steps and procedures. Especially with this huge amount of threads already explaining everything you could possibly need.

No.

Ok you used that link, it provided you with an unlocked bootloader. Now with that and cwm installed. You can go to the development thread and download a rom. Persay, http://goo.im/devs/Th3Bill/MIUIus/Atrix/MIUI.us.Olympus_2.9.29_Aroma_Signed_Th3Bill.zip
now install that zip from cwm "recovery". And follow directions. That should give you an idea on how most these newer compiled Roms work. (Newer compiled roms all now have aroma or are like kitchen sink (project).
if you need more help just keep asking questions. Worst you can do is bootloop and flash something else.
Edit: fyi : root is nothing like the bootloader, or cwm. Root is inside the rom, you will find almost every rom HAS root in it.
Now if you flash a rom, before you do that... backup your things as you will loose text, call logs, application data, contacts, etc.
fthanks to all for help.

Uggh!

CWM recovery that comes with the automatic unlocker is TOO OLD. You won't be able to flash any recent ROM using that.
You need to flash a newer recovery. I recommend RomRacer's CWM-based recovery.
Hello friends,
This is my first ever post on xda, I've been rooting and flashing for about 2 years now, and xda has always been spot on when it came to finding solutions, anyhow I have stumbled upon a problem for which I am unable to find a solution for, this message is a distress call, kindly help me out.
I was using a rooted hox+ for a couple of months now with a 4.2 pure rom without any issues, I felt like checking out the cm10.1 by lloir , so I downloaded all the necessary files and stuffed in into my phone. I cleared up my dalvik caches and made a full wipe (factory reset ), then I flashed the rom ( CM10.1 by lloir) and the gapps bundled with it, and then the appropriate kernel (mentioned in the rom thread, I made sure It was the very same ). every thing went on perfect untill i the rom got booted, after which i wasnt able to use any of my gapps nor download anything frm the browser, Now I am aware that this is because of the change from 4.1 to 4.2 where the default folder is changed due to multi user thing. Ive read and searched the threads for any possible solution, I stumbled upon a similar situation by a xda member "member" on the CM10.1 thread, he had the same problem that i was facing which he got through, but he got through it by accident which is why I am unable to track his steps for a solution. Now the situation is such that I have and erased sd card with no data at all, the only thing that is fine is that the ROM and the recovery are in a working condition. Im unable to sideload anyother roms or any of that stuff.
Due to the fact that this is my first post I cant directly post anything on the CM10.1 thread which is why im trying this indirect method, any senior member who can help me out here or any moderator who can get me through to the CM10.1 thread, I would appriciate that a lot. I really need my phone back with working google apps and a proper file structure compatible with 4.2, I was wondering if i could manually create a folder wich may accomplish that but I wouldn't know how to, any light on that would also be of help apart from any other solution.

First did you try clearing Cache and Data for GAPPS in setings>apps?
Do you have CWM or TWRP installed? Have you tried sideloading another Rom through recovery?
Well, your sdcard is wiped so i take it all your important files were backed up. Easiest solution would be re-lock the bootloader and use the RUU for your device. Then unlock bootloader and re-root. Not optimal i know, but it will work.

I use CWM recovery, I tried sideloading through it, all the drivers are installed properly, but I'm unsure as to why the sideloading through the One X+ toolkit doesn;t function, anyhow as advised above I shall defenitely try re-locking the bootloader, but as far as the RUU is concerned I wouldn't know which one is for my device, If you could help me locate it and mention a few steps regarding its implemention, I'd be grateful. Im using the international version of the HTC OneX+.

use the app available on the playstore or here called CID Getter. Then use the cid to find out which RUU you need and download RUU from here.

the playstore ain't functioning bro, I can't access any google apps, and am unable to download anything at all from the browser. I'm really not sure what the callsign of my device is, If you'd rather confirm it for me, I think it is known as the endeavour, if I you can pinpoint the RUU file ... I shall get to implementing it asap bro. And I shall be using hasoon2000 one x+ all in one kit to install the RUU,
please advice.

Your device is not endeavour, but endeavor C2. it is shown as ENRC2B though
the problem is i can't pinpoint your device. just no way for me to tell which version you need. if you look at this link,you will see that there are many options for international version of HOX+. I have the ATT version.
One of those RUUs is for your device. You might want to take a look and see if something looks like it would work for you.
using ADB to get CID
1. boot into bootloader (volume down + power button) or connect phone to pc via usb, in adb type : adb reboot-bootloader
2. you're now in bootloader
3. type fastboot getvar cid (in windows) or sudo fastboot getvar cid (in ubuntu/debian), you'll see cid:HTC_044 (my case)
Then look here to find out which version
k I got it... its HTC__J15
I've downloaded the firmware.zip but i can't get through to the dropbox link for the RUU variants in the above mentioned thread !!!
Edit : I got through to the RUU variants too, there are about nine of them.crossing out vodafone and o2 im left with 7. RU
edit 2 : okay, 3 RUU's with the numbers x.xx.415.x in the list. can anyone of them be used ?

yes but you may need to flash back stock recovery before you relock. Not sure if it will just flash recovery over CWM.

Hmm.... the stock recovery .. the one placed in the firmware.zip right ?
shall i also flash the stock kernel boot.img from firmware.zip ?
That's how you put a smile on a face. All thanx to u Jokah. Stock stuff up and running, ill be taking a few days to get rooting and flashing again to overcome the folder issue, what's in my is that I shall install the aokp 4.1 and then upgrade to aokp 4.2 which i've read automatically solves the folder issue. Shall put up everything here in case anyone else needs any help.
Once again .. thanx mate.

Ok, you know, today I got my phone, I had been waiting forever, I got it and within 2 hours I screwed it up. I have followed and followed many forums and posts on how to fix this, and I am just.. lost. So please i need your help, I am seriously stressing out, and I know I shouldnt, but this is my first android phone. I am shot right now.
I had unlocked the bootloader, and then I tried to root it, then it rebooted and went into bootloop mode or whatever it is.
I still cannot figure out how to use this Hasoons2000's OX+ AIO kit. So I am just leaving it alone.
Ok the PC doesn't recognize it as a storage device, but the fastboot does recognize it, as I have executed a few commands, like reboot or something, just to test that it works.
My phone is ATT but I am in Russia so there is no sending this anywheres. All I want to do is reboot the OS and have it work again, I dont care what mod or stock rom it is, I just really need some direction here.
I know something about RUU, ATT RUU, Fastboot, some other stuff, I have like 5 pages on XDA pulled up and I cant figure this out.
What is the CMW or TWRP or whatever it is called? How do I flash a zip or an img to the phone? I really just want my phone on again.
Yes Ive done stupid noob stuff, but you learn. So please I am kindly asking for any assistance,
No need to stress. Its fairly hard to brick your phone, good way to learn quick also is to screw with it.
Just need the right guide and I think this will help you since u have fastboot access hopefully. Its a pain rebuiling so read everything so u only have to do it once.
Remember these guides are for different phones so don't use the ruu or recovery links, user my links below.
Your phone is:

This is for another phone so you need to choose an ATT ruu from here for step 1:

thank you very much I really appreciate your help. I finally figured out the ruu.exe thing, I didnt know they had to be the same numbers, ex 1.15.xxx.xx or whatever.
You see what happened originally was that I unlocked the bootloader, easy pie, but I tried to root it and that is when it started looping. Maybe I didnt understand something, but I seemed to have messed up right there.
Is there really any reason to root? I mean yeah there is super user, but doesnt bootloader help with that a bit? I know BL is for flashing custom roms and all.
May I ask how to flash a custom rom? I really want all of this ATT stuff off of my phone, I really dislike it.
Yes I know I can search, here, google etc. And maybe I should, but I end up getting so many different results, and here and there, and this and that. It really is just easier to talk to one single person who knows what they are doing. So if you could help me, I would again extend my appreciation.
Also I have the android revolution for ox+, and I dont know if it is.. you know.. THE BEST or not. Dont know what to do.
And yes, you live and learn, took me forever with iphones, then I realized hacking and roms and stuff were completely different from iphone. So new game new story.
Hi there and thanks for looking.
I have an HTC one x+ hboot 1.72 O2 Uk O2__001
The bootloader is unlocked via the htcdev site. If I lock the bootloader, I cannot boot the phone at all.
I tried to install android revolution but cannot get it to install.
I did however install the bootloader but I lost wifi and radio when the normal rom booted. Which is 4.2.2
I have tried installing endeavoru recovery and clockwordmod recovery but neither give me an install from sdcard option. (if they have indeed loaded as I am getting no difference in boot menu and nothing happens when I click recovery.
I keep following links to ruu files etc but they seem to be broken links and I really have no idea what to do now. Or which files to use.
So I think the main problem is I have a custom bootloader but stock rom.
Hope you can help.
Thanks
Managed to sort it by following Lloir's post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x2/help/radio-zip-enrc2bu-please-t2882380
I had been using the wrong clockwordmod so that explains why recovery wouldn't work.
Although I couldn't seem to get the 2014 folder to load across, I did manage to flash the supplied boot.img which turns out was all I needed after all.
I am just posting this in case anyone has the same issue and looks in the wrong places and gets more confused as I did.
So I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to him for posting the files I also needed.
Thank you.
