Well I bought my HTC One Max and a ran out of internal memory but I couldn't move all my apps to my SD card but I needed more space so I decided to root it, so I could have superuser rights and force my apps to the SD, so I installed a custom recovery and installed superuser so everything was right so far but I wanted to remove the tampered flag to enable my fingerprint scanner, so I installed a unsecure kernel I found on a XDA developers post and my phone screen went pink then it rebooted but froze at the loading screen and I couldn't reboot it by holding the power button so I rebooted via adb reboot bootloader and selected reboot but then again froze at the loading screen and this time adb didn't deteced my phone so I had to wait until it ran out of battery then I charged it a 50% and booted into bootloader then selected factory reset but instead of doing a factory reset it took me to the custom recovery I had flashed and instead of having to wait until it ran out of battery I selected on the custom recovery to restore to a previous backup but then it said there was no backup when I remember doing one in the custom recovery so then I selected wipe and selected wipe everything so it wiped all the data on my phone and rebooted but it's still frozen at the loading screen. What do I do now?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I'm trying to help you here. But first, did you backup your stock rom? In this case, I think your problem cause by the insecure kernel during the flash process. If your device stuck at boot screen, hold VOL UP + POWER BUTTON 10secs. Hold VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON, this will force device to boot into bootloader. If you have the backup, you can restore from recovery. That's option 1.
Option 2, you can try flashing custom kernel @ Lunar Max Kernel @
Keep me posted buddy.

Your phone is not bricked. When the phone is stuck on the droid eye, hold the power button and the volume down key at the same time until it reboots. This will get you into bootloader mode. Press the volume down key to highlight recovery and press the power button to enter it. Once you're in recovery go ahead and restore a backup or reflash something new. Either way make sure to do a full wipe.

thats what i did i restored my backup and this is what happens. and i cannot push any files over to the phone because usb debugging is not enabled so there is no communication between the phone and computer at all
boot into recovery then use "adb push <path to rom> /mnt/sdcard/" to put a rom on the sd then install. Make sure you use a boot.img that came with the rom if it has one as it may cause problems if you don't.
Edit: you will need another rom for this and I would recommend reflashing a boot.img

USB debugging has nothing to do with ADB in recovery, recovery basically has its own kernel and ADB is always enabled. Are you saying ADB doesn't work in recovery? If so, it is probably a driver problem with your computer. Also, some phones randomly get corrupt /data/ partitions (mine used to get them until I started using DSB's stock kernel with system write) and the only way to fix it is to do a factory reset or restore a backup. This might be what happened to you. If so just do a factory restore and see if it will boot.
Perhaps reflashing recovery? Worth a try if ur still having problems, also try installing then uninstalling htcs sync app.

I was running full stock rom bootloader unlocked rooted and was having a problem connected to lte.. No matter how many restarts i did I couldn't get lte to work just hspa+. So I decided to via twrp install The Base rom over it since it is the only custom rom I liked for the phone and still had the same problem. I went back into recovery, wiped caches, factory reset then wiped system. Reinstalled the Base and that's when I bricked it. All of a sudden it doesn't boot. It will splash the lg logo the just go blank but still notice a faint backlight. The is somehow on but can't boot into anything....
How do I get back into the recovery? Maybe it would be a easy fix from there.
I'm also considering just going back to stock, unrooting and relocking the bootloader since I'm fed up with how unreliable tinkering with this phone is compared to any samsung device.... What is the most fool-proof method in doing this?
Any help is appreciated....
To enter recovery reboot in to the bootloader. (Volume up + Power). The you will get a black screen with some text. Press volume down twice then power. If you did it right you will be in the recovery. Now restore from a backup.
You really should learn to read. (1) Information to enter recovery manually is in the Feegee thread and (2) It says on the base's OP to NOT wipe system or you will brick.

Hi,
I used Moonshine to successfully S-off my DNA. I planned to flash Viper DNA and as I couldn't find how to enter into custom recovery TWRP(installed through goo.im)I used option within goo.im to reboot into recovery.
Then I took a backup of stock ROM and went ahead to flash Viper 1.35 which I placed in the internal memory and booted into recovery.In the steps given, it was suggested to format Data before flashing. While I cleared System and cache partitions, I didnt clear data section as it had the VIper DNA zip and thought clearing data would delete entore internal memory.
No, my device is in a weird situation where Viper got installed over stock ROM and causing reboots immediately after booting up.Now, before I do anything the device is rebooting to Viper DNA boot animation screen. Not getting time to even shut down the device.
Can anyone please suggest me what to do. Once or twice I could get it to shutdown but dont know how to get into twrp. Please help me get into twrp and clear my confusion in erasing the data before flashing a ROM. Hope I'm clear. Soon, my DNA might be dead without battery. Desperately, waiting for help....
Update : I could finally switch off my mobile. Now, can anyone direct me to get into Twrp please?
You can always shut down by holding power for 10 seconds. This will cause another reboot UNLESS after it powers off you immediately let go of power then push power and volume down simultaneously. This will get you to bootloader and from there you can select recovery. Once you are in recovery I suggest a normal wipe which DOES include data. You can always select advanced wipe and choose which partitions you want to wipe.Your internal storage won't ever be erased but depending on the version of android, its contents may be available in a different root folder after flashing. This is only with 4.2.2 Roms apparently. Your stuff would be in root/data/media. If you are on an earlier version than it should keep everything intact.

Had failed in a few attempts in booting into bootloader in method you suggested. Will try again and get back.New to HTC, so taking time to adapt. Thanks a lot.
While your device is off, hold power and volume at the same time until you get onto hboot (white screen with multicoloured text). Use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery, and power to select it. Your device will turn off, then come back the the splash screen (white screen with "HTC quietly brilliant" and "Beats Audio" ) with the purple text at the top, "entering recovery". From here TWRP will load. Do an advanced wipe and select "data", "cashe", and "davlik". This will clear /data, but not /data/media, which is where your internal SD storage is. It will leave your internal storage intact. After wiping, flash as normal and reboot. It's good to let the phone settle for about 10 minutes after flashing before proceeding with the setup wizard. Profit.

After I've got my phone back from warranty service, I've noticed that they flashed a different ROM, probably the one for Asian region, as the default language was some sort of chinese-japanese-korean. So is there a way to re-flash a different stock ROM without voiding warranty?
P.S. after I get into bootloader and manage to get into recovery mode, I can't select "apply from sd card", because as soon as I do so, it says that something is invalid and the phone reboots.
Im guessing they reflashed the ROM that was originally used with the MID for that device...even with asian variant,english language is available...factory reset the device and rerun the setup,choose english as language and give more info cid/mid/carrier etc

Alright, I've managed to install a desired ROM, but after flashing DSP manager.zip it bootlooped, so I restored my ROM back. However, that didn't do the trick as the phone says "unable to mount /data". I can boot, I see the lockscreen, but when I unlock the device, it asks me to enter decryption data password. No, I didn't set any passwords.
Tried re-flashing, wiping, nothing helped.
flash back stock recovery and do a factory reset, this will clear the encryption

Alright, I went back to recovery and restored my old stock ROM. However, decryption screen still persists, leaving me able to use lockscreen only. The problem is that this stock ROM has USB debugging off and Fast Boot on and I can't change that because of the password requirement, so I can't use ADB (debugging) or boot into recovery using keys (fast boot mode). What do I do to get into recovery? Computer recognizes the phone as a CD drive.
No restore the stock recovery and do a factory reset,not twrp or cwm...hold power and both volume up and down, itll reboot after lights flash a few times, as soon as it reboots hold power and volume down and it should go into bootloader, may take a few attempts but keep at it itll go

Wow, didn't know that Volume Up + Down + Power trick. You saved me some bucks and my nerve cells. Thank you a whole lot!
Glad you got it sorted....
I'm not exactly sure what I did, but I had a CM9/ICS ROM on the Bravo, but wanted to go back to CM7/GB, so I rebooted into recovery, and used TWRP to restore my backup. I did wipe caches and Factory Reset before restoring, so the restore process was insanely quick(11 seconds). Now when booting, it just shows the Motorola logo. Power button + volume keys take me to a either a Bootloader thing, or an exclamation mark/triangle with the Android thing.
I did not root the Bravo, I believe it was rooted and had CM7 when purchased(from ebay or something), so I'm kinda new to all this.
According to this, I can actually access recovery from the triangle thing using both volume buttons: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035778, but it's not the same one I used to install TWRP.
Will renaming a ROM to update.zip, and 'updating' work? EDIT: I've tried this and it aborts due to the ROM lacking 'verification'.
How can I get my phone working again?
