Firstly an introduction:
I bought my phone on Thursday so i'm pretty much a noob at this phone, had a pair of android phones before this so i'm not totally inexperienced.
At first I rooted my phone and installed a custom recovery, with that i installed CM10. This was working fine until some random soft reboot, nothing weird because it is a nightly and not stable software. Anyhow i saw the sense jelly bean rom and wanted to have a go at that. The process of getting the new hboot caused me nearly all the soft bricks on the horizon. I solved all these softbricks through some very helpfull posts on this site.
Anyhow i decided I prefer a vanilla rom so much so I wanted to go back to the CM10 rom with the new HBOOT, also i used the Bricked boot.img . Now when i start my phone it gets stuck at the quietly brilliant screen, I know its stuck when the screen dims. Also i was stupid enough to make no backups.When I try the second post in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599748 it gets failed messages, could this be because of the new HBOOT?
Does any of you know how to get my phone working again? Your help is much appreciated!
I think if you have upgraded your Hboot and not made a backup of your previous rom, then you may have to stick with the JB rom you had.
reflash the boot.img via fastboot of the JB rom you have then reinstall the rom.zip via recovery and all should be good.
Can I never go back to CM10?
That worked btw thanks very much!

This is why people advise a nandroid back up... They're not joking...

Also I think you can flash an ice cream sandwich custom Rom or nandroid back up, you just can't execute a ruu anymore as the updated hboot won't allow you.

You're pretty much stuck with the sense jb ROM's for now.
no one has successfully booted a aosp/cm10 rom on the new Hboot.
there are dev's working a way to get aosp and cm10 ROM's booted on the newest firmware

Nandroid backups arent just an annoyance, they're bloody necessary.
Try getting getting a stock image and ADB pushing it.
As of now, there is no way to downgrade hboot or revert back to ics rom after installing a jb sense rom. Now all you can do is wait.

You cannot downgrade hboot, correct
But you can flash nandroid back ups and custom ics roms - just can't run ruus.
Sent from my HTC One X
if you install cm10 and flash its boot.img it should work (could have bugs)
new hboot only affects RUU installers and stock roms/ota's released by htc
Summary: New Hboot = Sense+ ROMs or any custom ROM

Yes, But for that he needs a nandroid backup which he doesnt have.
But I know that you can always get one from any other one x.
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.

I've been trying out Paranoid Android mainly. Does Jelly Bean 4.1.2 require HBOOT 1.28 or something?
Any suggestions 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

My phone is rooted and running cm 10.2.1 but I need gps to actually work so I want to put the scock rom on , I tried locking the bootloader and using rru update but it always fails as it is an older version than is already on the phone , the hboot is 1.72.0000 and it is 4.18.206.4 and radio is 5.1204.167.31 , anyone know of a rru that will work ??? or another method of getting stock on it ???
Like mentioned all over now in a lot of threads here.....no ruu available, go for the stock backup method

Go read here, or even easier ....flash a stock lookalike custom rom !
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.
Exactly, or RUU already to 4.4.3 skipping the ota.

Are there any 4.4.3 RUUs? More importantly, is there a 4.4.3 RUU for your version?

There is no ruu just system dumps/ recovery flashable zip of stock Rom
---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------
Also there is no need of using a RUU... You can just download the stock Rom zip, flash back stock kernel and stock recovery...but only if that Rom matches your cid...If not you have to take a nandroid backup from Mr hofs collection thread...

Aaaand to get ota running there is no need for relocked boot loader it will still work

Yea okay that's right but as long as there isn't any ruu available we don't need to reliving if we aren't s-off

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

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
