[Q] Question on installing new rom - Verizon HTC One (M7)

I recently received a Verizon HTC One as part of a trade I made. It came rooted/unlocked/s-off already with Unsense 4.4.2 rom installed already. I gave this phone to my wife and she does not like that you have to unlock the screen on the lockscreen first then hit answer to answer phone calls, so I was thinking of installing either the NuSense rom or wait for the bloatfree stock 4.4.2 rom to be posted and use that. The question I have is can I install everything via TWRP recovery that is already installed on the phone for NUSense or for the stock bloat removed 4.4.2 stock (when it gets posted). I have never used adb/fastboot before so was trying to read up on that, but is there a official HTC one rom flashing guide anywhere here?
Thanks

Download the Rom.zip. Go into recovery, do a backup. Then wipe cache, dalvik, system, data, and boot under advanced wipe. Do not wipe internal storage.
Back out and install the zip. Reboot and enjoy.

[Q] My Gnex won't get past 4.0.2 Canada

Hi I've tried to change my Build. I'm currently using Android Revolution HD. I've got the kernel the program came with - android-build. I have tried changing it over to a whole of builds. AOKP, Gummy
It never successfully launches any of them.
Every time I wipe data, cache and I wipe Dalvik too.
I don't know what to do...
Is there any one who is on Rogers that can do this?
Thanks guys

Don't really make sense??? Try to also format system in recovery ( it won't touch ur personal stuff ) then do all the other wipes then try flash another Rom if that don't work I.got nothing, if u can't figure out there's always fastboot stock Google .img
Can you provide a step-by-step instruction on how you tried to update your Galaxy Nexus ? I'm not on Rogers (I'm on TELUS), but still, maybe we can help you and see if you are following the right path !
You're not doing something right if you can't get another ROM installed.
Do this.
Make sure ROM and Gapps package for that ROM is on your SD card
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Go to Advanced, Wipe dalvik
Go to Mounts and Storage, format system, and cache
INSTALL ROM based on 4.03
Install Gapps
Reboot and Enjoy

I would back your phone up before doing this. Formatting your system deletes the operating system.

Correct. Listen to him and PLEASE make a back-up. I forgot to mention that.

phone will not wipe!

Phone is rooted and s off and has been for a long time running a custom ROM, I've installed this ROM many many times using the same zip and flashed cwm recovery. But now I want to return the phone to a fresh install with no user data I can't! It's probably me not doing something right but I'm sure it's not. When I wipe and install the ROM the old data and installed apps are still there! How can this be?
The phone boots and takes you through first start up pages: uk, google account, wifi etc but when getting to the phone it's how it was before I wiped!
Help?
Probably it syncs most of that data with your Google account.

That's the thing I haven't entered the google account
Try to format your sdcard all over again if you are using Ext partition. What recovery are u using anyway? Might as well reflash the recovery too.
via xda app
Wipe
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition+Darvik Cache) before you start with installing new ROM. Might help ...

CM10 bootloop

I am new to rooting and rom'ing. I was able to root my Hercules using clockwork 6.0 and was in the process of installing cm10 and it froze up, and after i rebooted it got stuck in a boot loop. I did do a back up of my stock rom and have gotten it to factory reset back to astock rooted rom, not sure if it is my backup stock rom. The process that I read to rom it is to install darkside wipe, then cm10, then gapps. I have wiped data, cache and davlik cache, i am trying to get it to install cm10, but it doesn't seem to want to install. what should i do to get it to start over and get cm10 rom on?
I would only use the Darkside wipe scripts on CWM 5.X. Use Odin to reflash the recovery of your choice and then format system, factory reset, and then flash CM10.

Thanks, I didn't know that, guess the instruction i found were a little outdated. I'll try your suggestion. What do mean by formattin it? (I thought the factory reset does that?) Also how long should it take for cm10 to install?

Formatting the system only formats the /system partition and wipe data formats the /data partition.
What do you mean?

You missed /System as well [hence why the stock ROM booted again otherwise if you actually formatted where the ROM was there is no backup ROM.
You should move to Jellybean [I have used ParanoidAndroid as a daily druver for months now and it is newer [Android 4.1.2].,
No matter which ROM you choose, first boot phone
download ROM Manager [Free is fine]
Open it, grant Super User
Tap top-most option to install Clockwork Recovery and it will walk you through getting etiher the non-touch for free or paying $2 for touch recovery [unless you flashed that via Odin then skip], but need to be sure you have newest CWM and not an old one from a rooting guide that been around.
Boot to recovery wi[e cache
tap advanced wipe dalvick
go back one menu
go to mounts and storage tap to wipe system, and data
go back one menu to main
tap install zip from SDCard
Tap internatl or external wherver you saved it and find the CM 10 you downloaded and tap and flash it
do the same but find where you saved the gapps pack
now restart device and enjoy
continual boot loop...tried everything here.

I got cm10 on for about 20 minutes then CWM updated to 6.x. I flashed a nightly and it's been in a bootloop ever since. However, when I was on CM10 those few brief minutes I could not hear or he heard on a call.
No idea what to do now. I'm stuck on 2.3.6 unless there's some other trick I can do to get this thing to boot...
Why not just try a different rom? Lots of options out there.
Also, watch the dates on the how to's you read. A lot can be outdated.

[Q] Need dire help, did something bad!

I didn't much of it and opened up my root uninstaller and disabled blinkfeed.
which pretty much killed my phone, I'm not able to boot or see my home screen.
if I open up recovery then I see PhilZ Touch 6.
Is there a way I can launch Root uninstaller by itself and just re-enable it?
I know that will fix it.
Thanks!
Just restore a nandroid or reflash your rom.

How do I do that?
And I don't think I ever backed up because I haven't had the phone for long at
How do I just wipe it and reset it to how it was?
do I WipeData/Factory Reset?

A nandroid should be your first action after installing a custom recovery - and I bet now you see why...
If you are running a custom rom, just re-flash it just like you installed it originally.
If you are running stock it kinda depends on your carrier, if you are S-off etc.
Tell us more about your setup.
It's an HTC One M8 from T-Mobile
I got the phone from my cousin and he already had it rooted.
But I had blinkfeed and stuff and I don't think I had a custom ROM.
It was just generic T-Mobile Sense 4.4+ I think. Sense 6
What If I want to install my own custom ROM on it with root?
Could I put Android Revolution HD on it or something?
Oh and it's:
*** TAMPERERD ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 3.16.0.00000
OpenDSP-v38.2.2
OS-1.57.531
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Yes. Just download the ARHD installation zip to a microSD. Insert the card into your phone and boot to recovery.
I have not used Philz' recovery, but I bet it's very similar to CWM or TWRP. There's going to be an option under the Wipe menu to do a "Factory Wipe". That will wipe your /data partition without wiping your /data/media folder where your personal files (pictures, movies etc) live, and also wipe cache and Dalvik.
You HAVE to do this wipe prior to installing a different rom or the files left behind by your stock installation may bork your new rom right from the get go.
After the wipe finished, go to the Install option in Philz (there maybe a sub-option 'Install from microSD or external SD'), find the ARHD zip file and flash it.
After the install finished, just for good measure (and because I'm not familiar with Philz) go back to the Home screen in recovery, select Wipe again and wipe cache and Dalvik.
You may have to look through the options under Wipe, but you should find a page where you can select which partitions to wipe. Just check cache and Dalvik, nothing else, and wipe.
Then reboot to system.
Good luck. [emoji106]

Thank you!
It worked, I'm on Android Revolution HD running version 8.1 on my HTC One M8
Also got it working with ART run-time.
Everything works like a charm and I made a nandroid backup.
Thank you sir, good day!

[Q] G2 Stuck on CM Spash Screen Loop

Hey All,
Here's a basic synopsis of my issue: I just flashed CyanogenMod on my Sprint LG G2. Now when it boots - or attempts to - it hangs on the CyanogenMod Splash Screen with the spinning cyan arrow.
Here's some more detail:
I've been trying for a few days to get this to work, and I'm finally stumped. I learned the hard way about the LS980ZVA radio and how it's not compatible with non-ZVA ROMs, and whatnot, and I've restored my phone using a .tot 3 times. This most recent time I used the LS980ZV8.tot to enable me to flash CM.
Here's what I did:
Restored phone to LS980ZV8 using LG Flash Tools
Rooted using ioroot
Checked Root
Installed FreeGee Free
Used FreeGee to install CWM 6.0.7.4
Rebooted to recovery
Made a backup
Copied backup to PC
Copied CM-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-ls980.zip to root of internal storage
Flashed said CM-11.zip from 'sdcard' (It was in sdcard/0/ for some reason)
Rebooted
Got stuck at CM screen.
Did some research on Google
Went back into CWM
Cleared cache
Reflashed CM-11.zip from sdcard
Rebooted System
Stuck at CM screen.

Any ideas? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I've read something about flashing the boot.img from fastboot, but I can't figure out how to get into the fastboot on the LG G2, and besides that was for an HTC. If you need more info, let me know.
=====Phone Details=====
Carrier: Sprint
Model: LG-LS980
Software: LS980ZV8

Did you do a full wipe? I would recommend TWRP recovery over CWM. I've used both, but for this phone I prefer TWRP. There are numerous threads with details on how to install it. If you prefer CWM make sure to factory reset/ wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, then flash your rom. Manually shut down your phone then reboot. I've flashed cyanogen Roms on several different phones and they can be finicky. if you choose TWRP then you would do wipe-advanced wipe- check boot, system, data, dalvik, everything except Internal storage. In same recovery session flash your CM rom. Hope this helps. Oh and I would recommend making a backup in TWRP as well if you choose it.

No I didn't do a full wipe. I'll take your advice and flash TWRP. I've been out of the Android scene for a couple years and I've had more experience with CWM, didn't know how well recommended TWRP was. I'll flash TWRP, make a new Nandroid, then follow your instructions. Thanks. I'll report back.
