I rooted my HTC One and flashed viper one and it said it was installed sucessfully.
I get taken through the initial setup, but after that, my home screen is black and I can't do anything with my phone. Any idea what is going on and how I can fix it?
Also, I tried rebooting my phone and when it starts back up, it gets stuck on the viper one logo. Its been on the logo for a few minutes now....
I have the same issue. I tried wiping the Dalvik cache but when it rebooted it froze at: "Android is upgrading... starting apps". I turned off the power and when it turned back on it got stuck on the boot ViperOne logo screen.
Did you by any chance get an error saying "Unfortunately, setup has stopped" after the initial setup? I got that, and then the black screen. It was just the home screen that gave a black screen. I could see the lock screen, bring down the notification bar, recent apps screen, I could even get into settings within the notification bar and everything. Just the home screen that's black and not operational.

FIXED!!!!!!
I did get the error saying setup has stopped. Here's what I did to fix it.
From black screen. Reboot into recovery mode. Did a full wipe of my phone (cache, dalvik, system, data, just delete everything...everything will be gone).
Unzipped viperone.zip on my computer to get the boot.img
From fastboot I used adb sideload to push the viperone.zip onto my phone and installed.
Did not reboot after install
Flashed the boot.img onto phone. Reboot.
Everythings working!
Not sure if every step I did was necesarry, but its working great now. I think it had something to do with not completely wiping before the first install. Hope it works out for you.

When I boot into recovery, it'll give me the TWRP screen, the one you get before it goes to the touch screen, then the screen goes black and boots to the white htc screen stays there. I flashed CWM and it'll boot into the recovery, the recovery pops up but I'm unable to select anything and after about 3-5 seconds, it goes black and boots to the white htc screen. I've flashed the correct boot.img also just in case that got messed up but that doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas on stuff I can try next?
Oh yeah, also, it seems that I lost the ability for my computer to see whats on the internal storage. It just shows up as pictures and nothing else. I tried on two different computers that I'd synced up with before and they both act the same. I can use root explorer and see everything is still there. But from the computer, there is nothing.
Ended up flashing stock recovery and doing a factory reset. Sucks I lost all my sdcard data, but at least I can get to the recovery now.
Hey guys,
I just upgraded to Revolution HD 32.0 (coming from 31.0).
Here's what i did.
Boot into recovery.
Clear cache+dalvic-cache.
Install zip from sd-card (select revolution hd 32.0)
Started Aroma installer, left everything pretty much default, just removed some of the samsung junk.
After the install was finished i cleared the cache again and rebooted the device.
It started with the start up logo and after a minute or so "Android upgrading..." with the applications counting.
After that it shows "Finishing boot"
Then nothing, it stays at that for like 5 minutes, then reboots and stays stuck at the samsung logo.
So i decided to boot into recovery, whipe caches and fix permissions and reboot again.
Same thing happened as before.
So i wanted to do a full clean install of the rom, wiping all userdata.
Surprise! Can't get into recovery or download mode anymore.
Took out battery for a few minutes and put it back in.
Still can't access download mode or recovery with vol+menu+pwr...
Does anyone know what's going on, or better, how i can possibly fix this?
I have no idea how to access my device now to make changes...
Thanks a lot!
If you can't get into bootloader with vol down, home and power button then you have a brick, service centre repair required.
Worth trying a USB repair jig to get download before paying for a repair .

Okay so I tried flashing a ROM onto my HTC Evo 3D (Virgin Mobile) phone. Here is what I was trying to get onto my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2430694
For some reason though every time I try to get this onto my phone it just gets stuck at the Android animation screen after reboot. I cleared my data, my cache, and even the dalvik. After this I go and try put as seen above onto my phone. It works and brings me to the setup screen, where it asks me what apps I want installed, what kind of kernel I want etc. Then it downloads I click finish, it brings me back to the CWM screen, and I select reboot. Thinking that my phone will work, when in reality, after rebooting all I get is an Animation screen and that is it. I left it on the screen all night hoping maybe something would happen, but woke up to find it still on that screen. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.
Also I would like to mention that my phone has hboot 1.58 if that is of any help.
So just to show you the order of how I did it: HBoot>Recovery>Wipe data/factory reset>Wipe Cache Partition>Advance>Wipe Dalvik Cache>Install Zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>YAS4_v11.zip
then it does its thing and afterwards I reboot.
Ok, so something seems to have gone very wrong with flashing my phone :S
I managed to get recovery working yesterday, and followed the steps in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155 , to create a pre-rooted 5.0.2 image. I put it on the external SD card, booted into recovery and installed the flashable zip, then used flashtool to flash with the instructions (though I also cleared Appslog, Cache and Data to get a fresh install). This went fine and everything appeared to be ok. I then tried to get the Xposed Alpha installed, but after that whenever the phone was rebooting it just hung if trying to boot to Android. I tried re-flashing with Flashtool, but still got the same issue. Would boot fine the first time, but then any restart it would just hang and crash out. Tried clearing the cache from recovery, but no difference.
So today, I went into recovery, re-installed the flashable.zip, then powered off the phone and flashed using flashtool, just as I had yesterday. Now though, my phone wont boot. It shows the Sony logo, then a blank screen, then restarts. Even worse, it will no longer boot into recovery. I hold the volume down button when the LED shows, nothing. I try holding the volume down button all the way through several bootloops, nothing.
I've tried to re-flash using flashtool which goes through the process ok, I can hold the volume down button and connect the cable once its in the process of rebooting, and it goes through all the process fine. It then powers off as expected and I can just disconnect and power on the phone. But it's still stuck in the bootloop and I don't have TWRP recovery.
Is there anything I can do to get my Z2 working?
Update - Re ran flashtool, this time not excluding system, only Partition. It now gets a little further, going to "Powered by Android" and giving the purple wavy lines, but after a minute or so it just hangs and restarts again. And still no recovery sadly....
I think I've got it sorted...
Used Flashboot again to do a flash, excluding System and Partition. This time the phone does boot up normally. The downside being that my root was gone. Despite my flashing a pre-rooted image, it seemed to just put a stock image on. And my recovery is still mysteriously gone.
In the end, just to get things completely back to a stable/stock starting point for later on, I ran a repair from PC Companion. Seems I was in the none rooted position anyway so figured I'd get myself to a more certain position. At least this way I can wait for someone to come up with a root for 5.0.2 so I can root and get recovery back.
Now since it's my ONLY phone, I beg you to help me as fast as possible!
I tried to root my phone through Odin. There were two files to load. I've loaded the step1.tar, but failed to load the second one.
After I loaded the first file, my phone rebooted into recovery mode. It was looking kinda different from the normal one. Like inverted colors or something. When I tried to reboot the system, it was plain black screen with errors ike "..... has stopped". I turned off the phone, and turned it again, only to see recovery mode again.
EVERYTIME I turn on my phone, it goes to recovery mode. When I choose the reboot system option, it goes black screen with errors. If I choose to wipe everything, and then reboot it, it goes absolutely fine. Untill I turn it off, of cource. Then it goes to recovery mode again.
HELP PLEASE

Well, it doesn't seems important error. Just download stock rom for your phone and reflash it, it will works again as you wish. The problem is you've flashed wrong file that it results a soft brick.
Edit: Not a soft brick, but a software failure.
