Hello everyone. I had recently unlocked my bootloader a few days ago, planning on installing custom ROMs. I had installed CWM 6.0.2.7 o my Sensation XL while following this guide by Shingers5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466436
Accorind to the guide, after you unlock your bootloader and install CWM. if you wish to install custom ROMs you would have to first flash a Chinese bootimage and then a Chinese ROM. Instead, I had rooted the stock ROM on my phone. Anyway, I later decided to flash a custom ROM.
Before I flashed the ROM, I first flashed the Chinese ROM boot image and then the Chinese ROM through recovery. After the phone booted into the ROM, I rebooted into fastboot and flashed the other custom ROMs boot image, then the ROM itself. When I rebooted, the phone will not show anything past the HTC logo screen. I am in great disapointment with this ROM as of now. Yet, I still want to be able use it. Could someone, anyone possibly provide me a solution to fix this problem?
Phone Information:
Name/Brand: HTC Sensaton XL
HBOOT: 1.28
RADIO: 3831.16.00.16_M
CID: HTC__M27
SERIAL NUMBER: HT1B9VZ10224
Hi, I'm new to the android community and this has probably already been solved but how do I unlock the bootloader and root an AT&T HTC One which is running android 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5. I want to root my phone but am worried of accidentally bricking my phone. Thanks.
From htcdev.com, you need to get the Unlock_code.bin file. While getting this file, you will also get detailed instructions about how to use that file to unlock your bootloader.
Once you have unlocked your bootloader, flash any custom recovery of your choice (twrp or cwm).
Then through that custom recovery you can flash super user.zip.
My HTC one m8 has root access. I was using twrp recovery and stock rom. I wanted to flash a custom rom (tried cyanogen and pan) but twrp never helped me in finding my zip file. Then I tried swapping my recovery from twrp to cwm but that never happened and it got stuck in bootloader mode and then I did factory reset :/. And now everytime I try going into recovery it takes me to the bootloader mode. now I am trying flashing a custom recovery but first turning s_off and I tried firewater but it doesn't work.
What should I do?
It still has root access but s_on and don't know about bootloader on/off and no recovery.

and does your device say unlocked at the top of your bootloader? if not follow this guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799796 , but use the twrp for you device carrier only
if you did it via recovery you should still be ok
go to your bootloader download this twrp img here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m8/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img on your computer (for gsm) int. att (i'm guessing this is the device carrier you have)
ensure you have fastboot tools(adb tools installed)
put the .img in your folder that contains fastboot
open a cmd in that folder on your computer and make sure you put your phone in fastboot mode via your bootloader.
then type on your computer in cmd fastboot flash recovery (name of twrp you downloaded).img
then type fastboot erase cache
you now have twrp installed to get to it now select recovery from bootloader on your phone.
when installing custom roms in twrp you need to go to advanced wipe(select data,cache,delvik cache, and system then swipe the arrow bar beneath)
then press home and press install the go to the location on the sdcard where you put the rom.zip of the custom rom and select it. instalation will begin after completion reboot(done)
It says unlocked at the top but S On.
Shouldn't I turn s off before flashing recovery?

@Fahad khan lodhi
it won't matter either way.
but just so you know what s-off is
s-off turns security mode off so you can swap out boot splashes and such, if you s-off and super cid you can flash any carrier's firmware,
also allows you to flash a kernel in recovery on older devices(m8 doesn't need s-off to flash kernel)
Can't S-Off unless you can boot. Firewater only works if you can get into the OS and then only for some devices. You should reinstall TWRP and see if you can boot to it then put a rom on an external SD card or use adb to push a rom zip to the internal if you don't have an SD card. Make sure that you fastboot flash the boot.img of whatever rom you are trying due to being S-On. If all that fails, then you will need to find the same or newer RUU from HTC for your carrier to restore the phone to stock and start over.

It should still work with the firmware you have. It's recommended but not necessary. And flashing PA would certainly not update your firmware. Firmware in this instance is mostly focused on the radio/baseband version and the touch drivers. These are not included in any kind of custom rom for your phone (nor 99% of android custom roms for anything). Much more important if you were originally on 4.2.2 or 4.3 and trying to run the new Viper. The only way to update firmware while S-On is via RUU or OTA. If you were S-Off then you could flash just the firmware package that has the hboot and stock recovery files removed.
i have an htc desire 601 zara cl with the insert coin rom and i want to go back to stock rooted virgin mobile kk rom but i cant find the twrp folder on my pc. i know there is no ruu for the 2.15 os and failed many attemps to s off keep getting kernel error and tryed insecured boot img and the same error. i tryed flashing the system dump and it installs but the phone wont boot! do i need to relock the bootloader? flash stock boot? recovery? please help or post a flashable vm kk rom link. i would appriciate it. thanks
Flashing the system dump doesnt work. U restore a stock rom via twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2865955 getting s-off doesnt work on kk
I'm trying to convert my at&t one m7 (running sense 6, android 4.4.2) to a google play edition. I've got S-off (via sunshine), root with supersu installed as a system app. (verified with root checker). Bootloader is unlocked (I have tampered message) and CWM touch installed. I've flashed Elemental X which says it disables HTC's write protection to system. I find myself unable to flash any rom. It can't mount system. I can't even fully wipe/factory reset with cwm since I don't have access. Everything I can find tells me that flashing an insecure kernel will give me access but I have no luck after flashing elemental x (also tried bulletproof). Any help would be appreciated.

You could try the latest TWRP. If you are going the GPe route have you changed your CID & MID? Have you looked at this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
