I'm attempting to flash the rythmic rom onto my HTC One (CDMA) by using rom manager. However, when the process starts, and the phone is trying to boot into recovery, it hangs at the screen with red text stating that It can't be distributed etc. It won't get past this part, and I need to restart the phone in order for it to boot correctly. This issue is annoying, as I was looking forward to having a new rom installed.

Did you flash the correct recovery for your phone? Make sure you flash the CDMA version of CWM or TWRP in fastboot again to make sure you have the correct recovery installed. I recommend not flashing with rom manager at the moment. Just manually go into the recovery through the hboot screen.

Rom Manager is never the correct choice to do such things u should always do it manually...

I'll run through a history:
- Rooted my phone to S-OFF and installed a custom ROM
- Installed another custom ROM after running a 'super wipe' script
- Decided I wanted to go back, tried to get to clockworkmod recovery but I couldn't get to hboot
- Tried to re-root, got halfway and it failed. I could now get to hboot but when I get to clockworkmod recovery it shows an error logo with a danger triangle sign. When I try to boot it just stays on the HTC logo.
- The first time I tried to load Clockworkmod it said it couldn't access some /cache/ directory and now it just shows the warning icon with no error message.
I think I need to reinstall Clockworkmod, then use that to reinstall a ROM. I heard it's possible to do this by flashing a zip file from the SDcard and loading hboot. How can I do this?
Thanks!

That red triangle is HTC's recovery mode. You should manage to get root via one click root and then flash clockwork normally. In the app.
Thanks. What exactly is one click root? Have googled it but not sure which it is.
I think you might mean this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
But that seems to require that I can boot into a ROM in the first place? I can't get past the HTC logo at all.

No that is S-OFF. You need S-OFF if you want to flash custom rom. This is what I meant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Thanks again. Just to clarify, on hboot it tells me it's 'S-OFF' at the top of the screen. I should run the one click utility anyway, right?
I don't think superone click works on dhd but I could be wrong. Haven't read up on it in a long time.
But back to original question on hand. I made a guide in the general section for this exact issue. It titled stuck in hboot. Their I have a link for cwr in a pd98 format(flashable through hboot).
It should work for you. I did notice that the modelid in the txt is different but was told it should work for dhd with no modification but I have not confirmed as I have an inspire. If it doesn't work let me know and ill make the change quickly and uplaod a new one. Its a simple change. If you want to can try. Simply change the model I'd to pd98100000 from pd9812000
Thank you, I will try that now.
...And it worked! Thanks all

I have a similar problem. I tried to flash a galaxy rom on to my htc evo 4g and now my phone wont boot up. I actually need instructions on how to do this. When I try to flash recovery it goes into HBOOT and also goes into bootloader. But when I try recovery it goes to the white HTC Evo 4g screen and immediately goes back to Hboot. Iv tried to download a clockworkmod custom recovery img and flash it as a PC36IMG zip. It finds the zip and says parsing PC36IMG but doesn't ask if I want to flash it and goes back into bootloader. I renamed the recovery image "Recovery" and the Zip "PC36IMG" as instructed from a different website. I can ONLY use this method because my micro port is broken.
Also when I downloaded the recovery image there were two choices. Recovery image and recovery touch image. We should I go with?

I tell you how to over come this:
1) Throw your phone into the trash can
2) Buy a new one
3) Come back to xda
4) Read all the tutorials once again
5) Read them again
6) Re-read them
7) Now do whatever you want.
This method works perfectly for any noob...

Sorry but what are you talking about an EVO 4g in the DHD forums??...BTW, in the zip file you need a .txt file to be able to be flashed. If that file is missing then the hboot will never detect the .zip file.
Besides, if you have an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash recovery in that way. You can do it using fastboot flash commands...
Hey all,
I'm having a slight issue with Clockwork Recovery as in it won't boot unless I just reflashed it.
I rooted and started flashing ROMs on day 1, but a friend of mine noticed on his phone that he cannot get into Clockwork Recovery unless he opens ROM Manager, flashes CWR, shut down manually, and reboots into Recovery manually. Any other time he is greeted with Andy on his back with the Orange /!\ on his chest. So I checked it on my phone, and sure enough, same thing.
Is this a consistent problem for everyone and if not, is there a fix?
Thanks in advance!
CWM hasn't been permanently flashed, hence the stock recovery going back unless you go through (the crap) ROM Manager. Manually flash it using fastboot and you're sorted
It automatically restores the stock recovery on boot. Look at one of the rooting guides in the dev section for info on which file you need to rename to stop this behavior.

Did you flash the boot.img? depends if you flashed a jellybean rom it would stay on the HTC loading screen but if you updated to the latest OTA and tried to flash a rom with a previous hboot it won't work flash a rom with OTA support hope this helps
I'm fairly new to all of this. Currently I'm running Stockorama v2 on 4.1.2
I realized I was pretty far behind and decided to flash a new ROM.
I decided to go with GUMMY but keep getting the following error:
set_medadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /sdcard/Gummy - 2.1-01-15-14-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Can somebody help me, or link me to some guides/tutorials on how to flash a rom when I've already got one? (if that makes sense)
Thanks in advance!
Update your recovery

How do I update my recovery?
So I updated my Recovery & used ROM Manager to install the new ROM I downloaded.
Unfortunately my phone doesn't load completely and always gets stuck at the boot screen (boot screen still shows animations).
Anything I can do to make my phone boot all the way?

Go into Recovery Mode and factory reset (you will lose everything that's in your Internal Storage but everything in your SD Card will be safe). Afterwards, reboot and let it sit there for awhile until you're prompted with a Welcome Screen. If for some reason you cannot get passed your boot screen, you must also flash a modem that is compatible with 4.3+ (I'm using the T999UVUEMJ4 modem).
After you have done all that, let it sit there for a good 10 minutes and reboot. After setting everything up, go into your Play Store (if you don't have the Google Play Store, go back into recovery and flash a 4.4 GAPPS) and download GooManager. Run the app and press the menu button and select ' install openscriptrecovery.' Follow the procedures and it'll automatically install the latest recovery (it should be TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) 2.6.3.1). Reboot back into recovery then do a clean wipe and flash your ROM follow by GAPPS. Reboot and let it sit there until you see the Welcome Screen. Once you do, let it sit there for 10 minutes and reboot.
I was getting random reboots and I tried to delete everything. I thought "clean to install new ROM" would just do a thorough cleaning.
When I try to boot it stays on the white HTC screen.
I can boot into the recovery and Squabbi's HTC One M8 toolkit reads it.
However, I have no idea what files to flash or even HOW to flash them so I can get an OS back on my phone. Can somebody please help?
edit: i have no ADB experience

Is your device S-off or S-on? You must have at least a little ADB experience since you have a custom recovery which requires an unlocked bootloader, or did you get the phone that way?
I've only tried Philz recovery twice...
BOTH times it bricked my phone. I have four letters for you...T W R P!!!
Good luck by the way
