[Q] HBOOT 1.23 - Non-Sense ROMS Won't Boot?!

As you can tell from the title, I'm trying to flash a Non-Sense ROM. I am on HBOOT 1.23, but the ROM refuses to boot?
I have no clue why this is happening, because I can install Sense 4+ ROMS just fine.
Please inform me on why this is happening. Thanks guys.

1) Yes I always remember to flash the boot.img and to do the fastboot erase cache command.
2) Ahhhh I see! Well, looks like I need to update my HBOOT to 1.28 then

[Q] Status 7 error upgrading from ICJ 1.7.1 to ICJ 2.2

Hi all..
Can't post in the relevant forum as this is my first post..
I keep getting a 'error status 7' when trying to flash the latest ICJ 2.2
I'm currently using IceColdJelly422 1.7.1 and wanna bring it up to 2.2..
Using TWRP 2.4.2.0 as recovery..
basically flashing boot.img via fastboot, booting into recovery.. mounting the sdcard.. copying the ROM across
then I attempt to flash and get a status 7 error..
am I missing something here?
thanks in advance

Yeah.. going through the motions now to relock.. flash the latest HTC JB rom.. then do a OTA to get the hboot in order..
this will take some time.. will update once successful..

then you can unlock again and flash every JB rom and the icj

Nice ! So i can say
CASE CLOSED !

Rooted, CR installed but can't boot.

Hey dudes,
im working on flashing the dhd for various hours.
It is the german version T-Mobile branded.
I had rooted via aahk.
After some problems, i think there is a chance by trying again, also i relooked the bootloader.
In the end it was possible to flash a custom rom.
So I flasht this beautiful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113047
But now all my Phone is showing to me is the T-Mobile branded screen. no boot to rom.
So my Phone is:
S-On
Bootloader relocked.
rooted (?)
i can't boot into android and i don't have any idea what is to do.
Maybe installing a stock rom via CWM as .zip oder flashing via ADB.
please give me your help
greetz

You are not S-Off, so either you got rid of it or AAHK didn't work properly. Your phone can't be both S-Off and have an unlocked bootloader. Re-unlock and flash a ROM from recovery.

okay thanks i get it, but it isn't much better
I flashed a custom rom, no result.
only T-Mobile-Screen

Because you are S-On, each time you flash a ROM you need to
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

i need this after flashing a .zip in the recovery?
what boot.img is this and where to get?
how can i bring my phone s-off?
sorry for my questions ;* ^^

Yes, after zip in recovery. It is in the ROM zip. You need to S-Off manually now; there are instructions at AAHK's old site.

Big Thanks, the Rom works.
But the last problem is I don't get a mobile signal.
APN is okay.
I'm in germany aren't some roms working with gsm?
I had reinstalled with full wipe ? no result.
Or should I simply try another rom?
my bootloader show me this message. (added File)
how to fix it?
thanks guys <3

It would be nice if somebody could help
the bootloader is looking for PD98IMG if an sd card is mounted.
I tried a lot of PD98IMG files, but none of this are working.
it's very difficult to get them, because the most of these files are down.
additional i have no idea which is the right file for me and how i can fix this problem.
please help

[Q] How to install Android Revolution HD

Hello,
I've been recently trying to install few times the Android Revolution HD 10.2 ROM however I always fail. Same happened with previous version.
After the ROM installs, i hit reboot and then nothing. It just freezes on the htc logo (with "developer" text) and nothing happens.
So my question is, what am I doing wrong?
I have no problems with installing ViperOne and all of the non-stock based ROMs.
I can't get S-OFF, so I hope it isn't neccessary
Please keep in mind that I'm pretty new at using HTC One m8, however I have experience with android.

If you have the HTC__001 cid or any which is WWE/ Europe you can and MUST flash the firmware.zip for 2.22.401.4 ...otherwise it won't boot or many things will be broken...all necessary things can be found in each Rom thread, how to flash things and what you need etc...Also which recovery do you use and did you flashed a few mods or so afterwards?

Ok, so I don't really know what this CID is. I've seen people talking about this but can't really tell what it is for. Is this some kind of ID a device, for which country it's meant?
You said "flash 2.22.401.4" firmware. Now I would have to find out how to do that (after I do that, will I be able to normally downgrade to 4.4.2 or will there be some problems?)
There's flashtool for Xperia's, Odin for Samsungs and is there a simillar software for HTC devices (I have something called All-In-One_Kit)?
I've seen also something like RUU, but I would need to fix fastboot, as it isn't working after fresh install of Windows.
My CID: HTC_032
Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.0
Kernel: Unknown, the one that comes with ViperOne (Already tried flashing ARHD with elementaX kernel)
Current version of firmware: 1.54.401.5

Agreed. Messing with things like firmware, without the proper knowledge is a surefire way to brick the phone.

RUU isn't going to help you with any of this (s-off, flashing firmware packages, etc.). Its just to restore to a stock image (ROM, radio, hboot, recovery).
I really recommend you get fastboot working. You need adb/fastboot to get s-off anyway.
Toolkits are only of limited use. They don't do anything you can't do manually with a few adb or fastboot commands. And many would say if you can't handle doing these things manually, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at all.

Yeah, I would need RUU to get to stock 4.4.3.
I can't get s-off, firewater isn't working with my phone, and I don't want to choose the paid method, as I will probably soon change this device anyway.

I see what you're saying: RUU to stock, OTA to 4.4.3 to get the firmware package, then unlock bootloader again, install custom recovery and install ARHD.

Thank You, You gave me so much information I needed to know more about this device.
I've found a link like this but I can't find my cid
So for example flashing "CID HTC__001" file would brake my device?
P.S. I'm currious what would happen if I flashed wrong CID firmware. Could You tell me more about flashing wrong one. Would it work normally, had some issues, wouldn't boot or wouldn't I be even able to flash this?
EDIT: Hehe, the link I provided is Mr hofs thread. So what now, if my CID isn't there? Can I just use any version that is for Europe, like eg. germany?
EDIT 2: Flashed stock, deodexed ROM 4.4.3, but still no luck with ARHD

If you are now s-off just get super cid with fastboot oem writecid 1111111 I hope enough ones xD or just write a cid like HTC__001 ... If you have further questions write me a pm and we can talk over hangouts or pm here... easier to follow the progress

Ok, finally got it.
I had to flash "SkyDragon+M8+Sense+444+Kernel+V2.0.1".
Now it's testing time.
Let's see if this ROM is so good.
EDIT: There's nothing cool in this ROM
Going back to skydragon.

Yea arhd is like stock Rom and yea nothing special about it

Hahaha aww man, do you not read what each ROM does before installing it so you know beforehand what you're getting yourself into?

Nah, I didn't. I saw many people were using it so I thought it must be good, but it isn't (no special features).
However I wanted to learn how to make it work, and I must say that the htc is the weirdest phone I ever had. Flashing a rom can't be done logically, here nothing works as it should in theory
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore

I often see people who aren't able to get arhd working...but I really don't know why..the normal cwm recovery doesn't work as it should...use instead twrp or Philz...both are working foo and with Philz backup and restore is working where in twrp most of the m8 are having problems :/ I really don't have problems to install a custom Rom.
I got the phone, tried it one day stock, wanted to get a custom Rom, unlocked boot loader flashed custom recovery and afterwards Rom and elementalx kernel...without problems.. few months later was able to do s-off with sunshine and after that most things where again easier

The boot.img file alone is not enough, you need the full rom.zip, a custom recovery and the latest available firmware

Not enough info, and its not clear the sequence you have taken to try to install the ROM.
Bootloader unlocked?
What version TWRP?
You flashed the the ROM.zip (not just the boot.img)?
What version Skydragon (current version? Sense or GPE?)
When you say it "isn't working" what does that mean? What was the result (stuck on bootscreen, etc), any error messages?
Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial numbers before posting). In particular, need to know main version, hboot number, radio number, CID and MID.

Custom rom doesn't requires S-off to work.
You have to unlock your bootloader and install
