So I tried my hand at installing SkyDragon ROM with S-On, but I ran into a issue. I got TWRP installed but when I installed the SkyDragon ROM with it, it says it installs correctly. But when I goto boot, black screen with sound. How do I fix it? My phone is unusable now and would love to get this thing fixed ASAP! Thanks!
I have access to fastboot and TWRP, I think I still have S-On, havent used a tool to S-Off so I should still be S-On.
What does your boot loader say ?
Do you have a backup of previous ROM .
If not do a full wipe as well as wipe system and try to install the ROM again.
But it could also be a bad download.
download it again and transfer it to an external sdcard and pop it in your phone so you can give it another go.

I dont have a backup, this is the first time I ever did something wrong. Guess I wont make that mistake again.
Version is 19.0 WWE for HTC ONE (M8)
I used TWRP to wipe delvik, cache, system, data. The aroma installer asked if I wanted to do a full wipe, which I did. I installed it to the external sdcard.

When installing the rom? Says everything is successful...
So I did the V 20 now to see if that worked. Nope. here is a log of the installation if that helps: http://pastebin.com/YnXfXTUW
In the aroma is there kernels to choose from and if so did you choose any overclocking options of any kind.have you asked in the ROM thread to see if anyone else is having this issue
Extract the kernel from zip and manually flash it after installing the rom. fastboot flash nameofkernel.img

Yeah, SkyDragon kernal 3.0.0.0 or unsecured kernal. And yes I have, I pointed to this thread.
Now I am stuck at the HTC Screen with the text "This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."
Appropriate firmware flashed?

I never recall flashing a ROM to be this hard. What changed from 2-3 years ago when you could just add a recovery and install a zip to your external SD card and that was enough to install the ROM (after wiping the data and cache partitions of course).
Wonders_Never_Cease's thread, will help you, then you can flash whatever rom you wish for this phone, http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365 I used it, when I had a similar problem. I've only had my phone for several days.
I'm sure not one of us has had only one device or even at one time for that matter.so with each device comes different challenges so we need to read and research as much as we can before the most commonly known word(BRICK) becomes a reality.

Was running NRG GB just fine. When giving the phone to the wife I decided to upgrade to ICS. Used CWM to wipe data, cache, etc, and installed, got freeze on HTC logo. Started using Superwipe before each try and also tried flashing several different kernels including the one inside the zip and the one included with the amaze stock kernel flasher. Now the best I can get is 5 seconds into the Energy spinning rings logo before a 5s freeze and reboot.
The only thing I haven't tried is firmware; I've seen references to "find it on the forums" but copious forum and google searches don't seem to lead to the ICS firmware itself. Can anyone help with that or point out what I'm forgetting?
In the meantime I will try installing the ICS stock ROM first and see where that gets me.

Do just that, remember to lock your bootloader if you're s-on and yes, jumping to an ICS rom without updating your device caused the bootloop.

Don't download that one, it has issues, hold up, I'll give you a link to the most recent file.
Here, get this: http://d-h.st/3VD
Download speed should be faster as well. rename it PH85IMG and place it on your sd card after you relock your bootloader, then boot into bootloader, it's gonna detect the file and ask you if you wanna update, follow the on screen instructions to update, voila! Follow the basics to install the new energy rom.

It is useful, I fully agree with you, it's like we come here to answer the same questions over and over, but I'm just trying to be nice, cause I usually just say, read the amaze bible, but then they go and do something even more noobish, so to avoid the tear jerks I just give the basic info, though I'm fading away slowly.

I came across this issue. As earlier posts said, install the new ICS update. The partitions were messed up and the ruu will clean it up.

Lol, never pointed fingers buddy, so calm down.
Maybe I should create a new topic but my issue is similar to this one except for the fact that I read quite a lot and tried quite a few things.
My situation is that I made a backup with cwm only booted not flashed so I have the 100% stock backed up, after this I flashed cwm and tried to install the Energy rom based on ics and that was my mistake as I used to be on a Nexus device I didn't have to worry about this.
So I got stuck on a bootloop and tried factory reset/wiping everything, tried to reinstall a stock ROM (t-mobile one as I only found a .exe for the videotron one and I did not feel like exploring the exe as I am a Linux user) by relocking bootloader and using the HTC method, tried to install manually the stock Kernel with Energy ROM using adb and fastboot commands, tried to restore my backup but nothing seems to work, I'm still bootlooping.
Is-it possible to s-off without a regular adb access (only the cwm adb access)? And would s-off allow me to flash anything as I wish? Is there a way to have any ROM working on my device? (i know the answer is yes to the last one, at least )
Thanks!

Maybe I'm a noob on this forum but it's far to be the first time I face a problem in software configuration/installation and I read quite enough (spent about five hours on xda, google, etc.) to say that you should at least help me a bit by linking me to a thread where I can find an answer.
I know my mistake was to install ics at first but now I flashed the stock recovery back, I relocked the bootloader via fastboot and put the file on the root of my sdcard renamed correctly that it be detected automaticly (and it apparently does install) but I still got the * bootloop.
I'm able to read a manual and to read the Amaze 4G bible four times to try to point out the detail I forgot. I made my homework and now it would only be nice from you that you help me a bit...

Okay okay, calm down, there's currently only one method of going about restoring your device since you're s-on and no you cannot s-off with just cwm adb, I think JB s-off method is only an exe file, never saw linux files anywhere on his site. Anyways, you have to use the GB exe for videotron and restore to stock via it then update to ics to use the most recent energy rom, BUT if you just want a working device, this is just an idea, though it should work fine, you can flash a custom recovery and flash the GB version of energy rom, you should be able to restore your backup as well, but you said you can't, which is odd, it may be because of the kernel not being flashable as since CWM cannot flash kernels while s-on, in which case I'd advise you to get 4EXT recovery and then try restoring your back once again, it should work fine since 4EXT can flash kernels while S-ON.
My two cents.
Well, 4ext doesn't works, apparently it flashes correctly but I can't boot in it so can't even try to restore my backup, s-off doesn't works from cwm and my device has to be booted to work with Videotron's exe (or I badly installed my drivers, I nerver understand properly the 899363 drivers per device I have to install for an android phone on Windows?)
Smells bad... I checked the 4ext's md5sum and it's alright, I took it from the fastboot installable img in direct dl from the thread in the Amaze bible.
Any idea?
Oh and there is a JB s-off executable for Linux on his site. After all I guess it is mostly adb commands?

I got lost halfway through that post, after flashing a rom, if the kernel isn't flashed (reboots and does it automatically), then flash the kernel manually, should boot fine, does anyone ever really read anymore? This very issue both s-on and s-off has been answered more times today than I can count. If you read the details on JB's site, you'd see and know all you need to.
Right, I'va already flashed manually the stock kernel as sais in the NRGRom thread without success before my first post here, will look at different kernels.

Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
There was a flash.sh file in the zip with the kernel, I couldn't run it normally as I can't boot but I went in cwm (maybe I should have used 4ext, don't think so for this part) executed the adb commands there were in the sh file with all filesystems mounted, rebooted into fastboot and flashed the kernel image. Maybe there are differents /system when in cwm and when booted on regular system... Will figure that out when I have time to spend on this, as soon as possible.
Thanks for all the cues!

Okay here's a few tips, cwm cannot flash kernels with son devices, get 4ext recovery for that. Second thing, reflash the from after doing a super wipe, if 4ext doesnt reboot and flash the kernel, do it manually, ill assume you know how to use ad, if not check my Bible tutorial on it, use the boot command for flashing boot images, take the boot file from the zip file, place it in the folder where your adb files are and flash it to your device while its in fastboot mode.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Well, I think I have done all you mention above, the only thing i'm not sure to understand is what you mean by "super wipe" I found some executables about it but I guess it can't do much more than the flash all partitions (except external sdcard) in 4ext recovery wich I finally managed to install properly.
So, I made that global formatting thing, I tried to install an ICS based ROM and 4ext rebooted to install kernel, same bootloop. Tried to install manually the kernel that came with this rom via the classic fastboot flash boot boot.img. Same bootloop. Tried to put the modules manually via the recovery adb access (performing a mount -a in adb shell to have everything present in fstab mounted) and flashing this stock kernel with no more success.
Achieved the same operations with a GB based ROM (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535173) with both the faux and the stock kernel without any more success.
Did I miss something? Am I so dumb? Do you have any other rom to suggest that have higher chances to succeed?
Do you think trying to restore my sotck nandroid with 4ext has more chances to succeed?
Thanks, again and always!

One will be a deodexed, rooted, base for any dev to use to make a ROM. No need to ask for permission, just give me credit. That's all I ask.

Yes and yes. You might need to relock the bootloader if you flash a stock RUU (not officially available for AT&T yet). Once installed you can unlock and root again.

Since there is no RUU, this is a flashable zip in TWRP. You can flash this to get your phone up and running. However, this will not replace TWRP.
If your phone is messed up and you want root as well, flash the deodexed and rooted ROM.

Oh! OK. My phone is not messed up, I am just waiting on an AT&T deodexed ROM to be made!
So...that leads me to one more question, and I'll leave you alone!
The 'AT&T Stock Deodexed Rooted Base (Devs Only)' ROM in the OP is a fully operational ROM? The statement in the OP "One will be a deodexed, rooted, base for any dev to use to make a ROM" made me think these were base files to be used to create a ROM. So if it is a fully operational ROM, I could use that, right...even if my phone is NOT messed up? (well, that was two questions). I am still stock at the moment...

It's a fully operational ROM. You can flash it even if your phone isnt messed up. So think of it as a custom ROM. You can just flash it in TWRP.

Thanks. Just to make sure I have the steps straight (in a manual method):
Copy 'evitareul_dev_base.zip' to my internal memory ("/storage/internal memory/" in Solid Explorer)
Unlock device with Unlock Code from HTC.dev
Install AT&T Recovery provided in the All-In-One Tool; reboot to bootloader and flash recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Enter Recovery and flash the 'SuperSU.zip' from the all-in-one tool folder
At this time I would be stock and rooted, correct?
Return to bootloader and install kernel provided in the 'AT&T Stock Deodexed Rooted Base (Devs Only)'
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Return to recovery and perform wipes....here is where I am unsure after reading the "Important and Read" threads about the /data/media. I am accustom to doing these wipes from TWRP on my OneX: (1) factory reset, (2) wipe dalvik cache and (3) wipe System....Is that what I need to do for the OneX Plus?
Install 'evitareul_dev_base.zip' ROM from recovery
I appreciate your response! I don't want to mess anything up...I guess I'm over precautious!!
I wiped, guess i wiped the wrong thing, now rom wont boot. i can get to recovery, twrp, but how do i now get this zip on to the phone since i cant boot? mount in twrp im not seeing anything on my computer. ATT X+
@nugzo. Did you have the zip on the device prior to entering recovery and performing the wipes?

yes i did but it was the wrong zip. It was mikes 1986 rom, at the time i didnt realize it wasnt for ATT. So after wiping, i guess i wiped the stock rom. Wiped system, data, and davlik. now it just sits at HTC quietly brilliant screen.

Wiping System, Data, Dalvik definitely wipes the stock ROM!
Hmmmm. Mike's OP states nearly on the first line of his thread: "Not working with AT&T One X+ LTE"
All that I've read is that you have to have the ROM on the device before booting to recovery...but there was a statement that it could be adb pushed:

With "no device found"...I'm not sure what to do...Hopefully one of the devs will ring in for you.

It might also help to post what ROM you were running, along with what two kernels you flashed. Certain kernels only work with certain ROM's (AOSP kernels don't work on Sense ROM's, and vice-versa). Take a look at the top link in my sig. At the bottom is a few helpful links. om4 has an excellent "Don't Panic" guide that contains some excellent info and really should be required reading for new users.

I had no access to my TWRP Recovery, I actually fixed that though.
The Kernel is changed and now I have no Data access? I think my ROM is not compatible like suggested. (Sense ROM)

It might also help to post what ROM you were running, along with what two kernels you flashed. Certain kernels only work with certain ROM's (AOSP kernels don't work on Sense ROM's, and vice-versa). Take a look at the top link in my sig. At the bottom is a few helpful links. om4 has an excellent "Don't Panic" guide that contains some excellent info and really should be required reading for new users.

The current situations has changed sadly.
I have no custom ROM just Sense.
The Kernel: Bulletproof-EVO-v1.4.
ROM: Default Sense?
This is my first attempt at really rooting/adding kernels just messing around and doing damage.
Now instead of WiFi I have no Data Service with this Kernel and ROM combo. I will check out your links thank you very much.

Hit the top link in my sig. I think you'll find what you're looking for there. Sounds like you may need to reflash your recovery from the bootloader via fastboot. Assuming that works, you need to due a full system wipe from recovery, then flash a ROM.

Do forgive me, I am reading your thread and advice.
I am just running on zero sleep in the past 4 days and trying to fix this all day.
The bootloop is gone now that I have flashed the TWRP recovery Stock recovery and Twrp again.
The stock recovery was still giving me the twrp startup screen (disclaimer at the HTC screen)
I also don't quite get what to do via Hboot 2.09 (what I have)
All the ROM's with the kernels are in a zip that needs to be opened via TWRP well the ones I download...
I have wiped the ceche/delvik etc... fear I wiped the whole thing by accident rendering the device empty.
My android's exe file doesn't seem to be about either.
Android version: 4.1.1
Software: 3.17.650? (The most recent for Evo commercially)
When I do attempt a Stock restore via fastboot flash not exe file I end up getting the red ! next to my phone and the phone doesn't reboot naturally.
Do I need to hunt down ROM's and Kernels that I can flash into the cmd?
I understand with my version I must flash in the using the prompt and have them separate but I am totally new at this I feel really dumb I'm sorry if I am bothering you with redundant questions I am attempting to follow and get the information but I think I am reading so many different threads on it I am suffering from information overload (artist not a programmer lol.)

S-ON.
I am attempting to download MeanBean after reading Fin's Fix.
Though I don't know if FlashImage GUI will work.
I also have to figure out how to flash .apk files too...
Sorry about the bother... I really am far below Novice at this I should have had someone holding my hand step by step lol.
Okay, so the problem with the Kernel originally was it wasn't compatible?
Then the next one with the service error was I suppose the same thing?
Then when I tried to restore apparently I wiped my phone of all Data resulting in a bootloop and being no one has the exe file for the factory RUU of the latest version for the Evo 4g LTE I had no way of restoring any of the files?
So then I stalked Fin's suggestions eventually lead me to MeanBean. at least it got me up and running... I attempted to back up with TWRP.
Which apparently doesn't work (I have to learn how to backup else where... Lets add it to my list.)
But after I attempted the back up I also attempted the instillation of "Operation Jelly Bean" I love the ROM I love the theme I love the sleekness
Apparently I am missing something with my touch panel software. I wish I could have kept the ROM but couldn't sadly (If you know what I am doing wrong I would love to keep that ROM in the future)
So with another failed ROM I tried to restore... which there was no restore when I went to do so... I was a little frustrated from my constant bricking as is...
I attempted factory restore apparently also wiped everything (Internal sd, external, everything.) I don't know what is up with that do you have any clue if its a glitch or am I just wiping it?
I also do Stock restore that does absolutely nothing for my phone anymore...
I will flash it... and it does nothing... it still runs like TWRP (disclaimer etc) but won't go to the twrp boot screen... this is a bit frustrating.
I am super frustrated right now, because of the fact I rooted my phone a year after I got it and there aren't enough devs supporting this phone anymore.. :crying:
Anywhoo, I have Unlocked my BootLoader and I have set up my custom recovery with TWRP 2.5.0.0 since the latest doesn't work for my phone. I have Access with SuperSU going through the pain of updating the binary. Now, my latest problem and only problem that hinders me from using the Roms I desire is, I'm stuck at BootLoop. My phone shows the HTC logo and then reboots.
I super wiped, I did wipe before and after, I tried all methods of wiping, unless wiping isn't the same anymore from the OG EVO days.
The ROMS, I would like to install is Paranoid Android, BeanStalk, CM Nightlies 10.2, & SuperNEXUS.
I have Tested only BeanStalk and SuperNexus and they both do the same exact thing which brings me to bootloop. The great thing about it is, which is kind of strange but i'm very thankful is that, I can still Restore my phone with my back up! =D
So far I have used TWRP, I don't really feel comfy with using Clockwork. Due to previous experiences, It just doesn't give a clean wipe IMO.
YES, I have S-ON.
Do i really need S-OFF to run these Roms? My phone is updated with 3.17, and everything from the last update a week ago, I believe.
I just did everything within the last 24 hrs.
PLEASE HELP ME! =(
Since you are S-ON you need to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel then the rom

Okay, one more question kind sir.
If this works for my phone and I end up running the Beanstalk or which ever ROM.
Do I need to Run another Boot.img to Restore my Rom from Backup?
Or Will it back up on its on, Because its the Stock rom?
Thank you, again.

It's always a good idea to have at least one backup on your sdcard.
No you won't need to flash the boot.img if you restore your backup.
You will only need to flash the boot.img everytime you flash a new rom for the first time

I know I'm going to have to do it myself. Just trying to avoid it. I already relocked once this week to test BabyRacun (which I also requested be updated, btw).
Onandroiding now in prep for full stock mode. I'm hoping someone steps up and I don't have to do it.
Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.
So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.
