Should be able to get root with it if you are not sure how to use it go on YouTube and search
Why search on YouTube? Everything you need to know is right here. Search here. Ask specific questions about things that confuse you. The information here is always way more accurate than anywhere else.

Well is for me lol
Root doesn't matter when you're S-OFF and have a custom recovery installed. Root comes into play when the OS is actually running and from the sound of it, your internal storage got wiped, hence why it can't mount system.
When you are in TWRP, plug your phone in to the computer and it should allow you to do adb commands.
Grab the ROM of your choice, I'd recommend InsertCoin but you can use any ROM, download that to your computer.
In TWRP, do Wipe/Advanced Wipe and check Dalvik, System, Cache, Data (do not check Internal Storage, microSD, or USB-OTG) then swipe to wipe, reboot recovery.
Now open up a command prompt with adb and do adb push romnamehere.zip /sdcard/romnamehere.zip
Then install the ROM as normal.
Reboot and if you get hung at the HTC screen again, you can try the same thing but wipe internal storage as well. Note that will wipe everything on your device but it may fix it. If it does not, you may have a failing eMMC chip, something I saw a few times on the M7, which would require a replacement device. I don't believe we have a RUU out yet which would kind of mean you're SOL. You would have to use the instructions to return to 100% stock in order to get warranty service or if you have insurance you would have to pay your deductible since you modified the device.
Before wiping internal storage post here again if the above instructions fail. There are other things you can try first.

Check the MD5 of the roms you are downloading. Also, which rom are you trying to flash and which phone do you have?
What recovery are you using?
Assuming the MD5 of the roms you are flashing do matchup and this isn't just a corrupted data issue. I would redownload whatever recovery you're using,
Check the MD5 of the recovery image
Flash said recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
then use fastboot to erase cache
fastboot erase cache
Then select recovery from the bootloader screen
Then factory reset
Then wipe system in advanced wipe
Then try flashing your rom again.
Iam have TWRP v2.7.0.2
The phone is Verizon m8.
Roms : Revolution HD and Viper
and what does it mean md5 matchup ?
when trying to flash revolution HD it gets to the point where it saying :
>>>creating toolbox symlinks
symlink: some symlinks faild

When you download a ROM, typically the md5 checksum is posted on the download page. Using an md5 checking program, you can verify the integrity of the files you download by generating the md5 checksum of the file you downloaded and comparing it to the one posted on the site where you downloaded your file from.
Use google if you do not have an md5 checking program. Flashing something like a firmware or anything that alters any emmc partitions that has data corruption could brick your phone. Hence and MD5 checking tool is invaluable when rooting/modding your phone.

Hmmm on Verizon??? Hmmm Verizon does have it's own separate XDA forum.. maybe you should try roms from there?? not sure if they're different but if XDA differentiated, then probably..

Hye XDAs members..I want to share my experience with you..
I have been through with a lot of trouble since I made something, kinda stupid with my phone..
The 'disaster', than I mention on the title is, when:
1. I have made full wipe
2. No ROM on sdcard (forgot to place it!)
3. I can't restore my nandroid backup due to md5 mismatch error!
4. Bootloop
So with that problem, means that I can't open my sdcard to place any ROM in it. Bootloop is not a big issue here, but the real deal was I can't have the access to my sdcard. Then the trouble begin when I can't boot, and stuck on HTC boot screen.
This was what I have done, to recover my phone. Hope I can help someone out there that having the same problem as I am. I have access to fastboot, so:
1. I flash a custom recovery, in my case I chose ClockwordMod Touch Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
2. After that, I put in these command to made my sdcard opened:
adb devices
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sys/devices/platform/fsl-tegra-udc/gadget/lun0/file
3. The sdcard was opened successfully! I copied my choice of custom ROM, which was Charmeleon v5.0.0, to the sdcard. I also copied Super Wipe script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
4. After that I go to fastboot, flash the kernel, and went back straight to the recovery. I flashed the Super Wipe script, and then I flashed the ROM, reboot.
5. Finally I have my phone fully functioning again!
This tutorial was done in Windows 7. I have tried this on Windows 8 but unfortunately Windows 8 failed to recognize the commands due to lack of HTC drivers support. I haven't tried it on Ubuntu, yet.
Before you make everything, make sure you have charge you battery fully!
So I hope this thread here will be able to help somebody. Finally thanks to everybody here. Have a good day mates!

What can cause that:
1. You didnt instal the latest CWM
2. You didnt mount the right thing ...
3. You have bad drivers ...
But it is most probably the first one...

I have install the latest CWM..I think it was caused by the Windows 8, that didn't support HTC drivers..I tried this on my wife laptop which is powered by Windows 7, and wal-lah, the drivers installed successfully..Windows 8 Release Preview still need some final touch before it goes to the market..I love Windows 8, but have to stick with Windows 7 after this case happened to me..
I don't really care if I haven't flash the latest CMW, what I do care is about people out there who have the same problem as I am..I just wanted to help them, and myself..

My thoughts exactly.
That supports the theory above that the incorrect CWM was installed.
The previous versions couldn't mount the USB Storage, but as of the latest CWM, you can.
While that was a cool trick, I think installing the lastest CWM recovery image would have solved a lot of these issues from the get-go

Recovery
Hello,
After the fastboot command did you then reboot into recovery?
Once in recovery, my windows XP does not see any device attached. Should I see a device attached while in recovery?
If I should, where can I get this driver? I tried installing PDA.net to get this, but still there is no device found, and so no way to use ADB.
I'm stuck because I have to send system modules after sending a boot.img, but there is no way.
Edit: Ahh I fixed this by updating my CWM from 5.8.3.1 to 5.8.4.0!

You need to push the correct boot.IMG via fastboot before you flash the Rom that's usually cause of bootloop plus not clearing cache

The procedure for a rom installation is usually listed on its OP<-Opening Page
One more thing... you asked me in a text message about root...
TWRP 2.5.0.0 has the ability to root a device...
here is... IMO the easiest procedure to install stock 4.1.2, recovery and root
flash stock rom with odin (I rebooted to system looked at the sock rom quick and went back to odin(should still work without restart toggle on))
flash TWRP 2.5.0.0 (with reboot toggle on)
open TWRP go to reboot and reboot system (it will prompt you to install root)
when phone boots open SU update done!

There is no ROM on your device. That's why it gets stuck on the splash screen... No OS to boot into.

SOLVED
So today I decided I would try to install a custom OS/ROM whatever it's called on my HTC One X. I unlocked the bootloader successfully without any problems. Then I went on to root the phone, and this is where it all went wrong. I found a tutorial and followed it to the tiniest detail. I am unable to link to it because I am a new user. When my phone rebooted it went to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot screen. I left it there for 30 minutes and it still didn't move on. What do I do now? I am a super noob at this, and I admit that I am an idiot for not reading more up on it first, it just all seems so super complicated.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

No, no error, it said "Daemon launched successfully" or something along those lines, my phone turned off and turned back on to the HTC boot screen.
Ok, try this: if the phone is still on keep the power button pressed till it restarts and press also vol down button until you arenin the bootloader; if the device is off, enter bootloader keeping power and vol down button pressed... Now my suggestion is to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom, you will get root privileges and the phone will work again...

If you are unlocked (you see it in bootloader) you can flash a custom recovery and a custom rom. Look up for your favorite Recovery and flash it.
Download the img File to directory where you have the fastboot files and run this code in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
After it you can boot into Bootloader and turn to recovery to get access to phone and SD Card/flash Rom
Did you flash boot.img and erased the cache?

Okay, so I successfully flashed TWRP and launched into recovery mode with it. How I get the custom ROM files on my SD card, when I plug my phone into my computer with USB it doesn't show up in the drives section, so I can't open up the SD card.
Another thing is that with the latest version of TWRP for my phone touch doesn't work in the recovery mode. There's a version that does, but it says it doesn't have USB mount or something like that. What's the next step?
You need to mount sd card via recovery, and having the touchscreen working is better as it will be easier to move inside aroma installer... Use philz recovery (if you want a sense rom use 5.15.9, if you want kitkat use the last version), enter the recovery, plug the phone into pc, mount sdcard via recovery, copy the zip over it and follow the instructions to install rom... You can find the instructions in every rom thread op... Ask if you need more help

Thanks for all the help, I am really starting to get a better understanding of how this actually works. I flashed Philz recovery and went into recovery with it. Then I went to mount and mounted USB Storage. Is this the right thing? It still doesn't show up on my PC

I flashed latest version 6.19.3. There are only 3 versions available as far as I can see. They are:
6.19.3
6.12.8
6.07.9
I'll try flashing the two other versions and see what happens.

Thank you! It finally showed up on my PC after a minute. I wanted to try Android 4.4.2 KitKat custom ROM "Carbon" so I want to ask a bit of an off-topic question. What are the GApps thing that I am told to install with the ROM? Why are they so important, what do they do?

have you flashed boot.img via fastboot and erased cache via fastboot? the commands are
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
remember that first boot can take a while (in some cases up to ten minutes)

Phone won't boot
Basketballhero75 said:
Yesterday I tried to root, unlock bootloader, and S-Off my device:
1.) Started with root. I downloaded weaksauce (I was on a firmware that still supported it)
Obtained temporary root while booted into OS
2.) Firewater to gain S-OFF and unlock bootloader
Worked like a charm
3.) Flashed TWRP Recovery
Worked like a charm
4.) Downloaded and flashed a new ROM (Andybones)
Horrible idea.
After backing up my nandroid backup, I did a system wipe like always and tried to load the new ROM... didn't work. I got nervous and tried to restore backup. Didn't work.
I tried to RUU the phone back to stock. Didn't work. Phone went wonky somehow along the process and now my partition tables are all screwed up. Phone will not boot, only load HTC splashscreen.
I have maintained fastboot from the bootloader, and my custom recoveries still boot, but they cannot mount the internal SD card at all. I get the errors "E: Can't mount /Internal Storage" or E: Can't mount /cache".
I've flashed multiple RUUs and none of them seem to fix my issue. Even though the system installs, the phone can't boot from that system and any recovery I have can't help me either since it can't read into the SD card at all, or even detect it. My Internal storage space is defined as 0MB.
I'm stuck with a brick as of right now and could really use some help. If anyone has a skype or anything please reach out to me. I am left phoneless for the time being. This should be fixable since I have s-off still; I just don't have the experience to do it.

Basketballhero75 said:
I've used various different recoveries of TWRP including 2.7.1.2, and some others (not on my other computer at the moment). I also tried the most up to date CWM recovery. None of them are able to mount, repair, sideload, or fix any of the partitions.

I didn't ask you for the version of TWRP, I asked for the exact name of the TWRP image file you used. And where did you get it?
No idea
Basketballhero75 said:
A developer friend of mine was helping me out and he was doing all the downloading and flashing. I'm not too sure of the where but the file name is "TWRP_2.7.1.2.zip". and the CWM recovery was called "Recovery 6.0.4.8".
I'm 99.5% sure that it's not the recovery that's the issue here though.

The reason he is asking is because our model has different mount points than the other variants. Use the recovery in the below linked thread. It is flashable in ruu mode. He may have flashed an m7 recovery and not an m7wlv/m7vzw recovery.

Have your friend who helped you inform you if he used a specific Verizon ruu and recovery, as using an International, AT&T, Sprint, GPE, etc ruu will wreak havoc and cause headaches.
Use the ruu and follow dottdat's instructions in the above thread. If you can boot to bootloader, then all is not lost, just follow the instructions and commands to ruu with the Verizon specific ruu and recovery found in that thread and you should be set.

Yes. He did. New phone.
If you have one in this state I can share a couple ideas.
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
First i rooted my phone, then S-off'd with sunshine.
then i tried to update my firmware from 1.32.xx.xx to 1.40.401.8 so i could install ViperONE rom
First, i flashed a no-wipe zip 1.40.401.8 and it worked but after rebooting the phone, it would restart on each screen-off.
so i figured that there was something wrong with the versions and did a full wipe install.
now i can't install any zip. It hangs at the part where it starts the install and freezes, then goes into a boot loop.
I cant see any file system at all.
I've tried putting ADB sideload mode in, but it doesn't recognize it
Please, does anyone know what i should do?

The problem with Viper makes it sound like you installed the 1.40 base rom on the 1.32 firmware, so are you sure the 1.40 firmware flashed? You can check this in download mode.
So Aroma is crashing during install? Are you able to save the installation log? Which version of TWRP are you using?
I hope that 1.40 installed... it says so in download mode.
im using TWRP 2.8.6.4
the reason i decided to start over with a full-wipe zip is because of the problem with the constant rebooting.
should i try to do a RUU like shown here?

TWRP 2.8.6.4 is a beta version. You should use the official version 2.8.6.1 (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720)
what ROM(s) are you trying to install? And what errors are you getting in Aroma installer? If download mode says 1.40, then that's probably accurate.
i've tried ViperROM and android revolution.
Neither work. Both crash as soon as it gets started after configuration... I don't see any "error codes" or anything, just reboots and starts a boot loop.
i can try again with 2.8.4.1. but at this point, i just want to have my phone working again.

So...you begin the ROM install in TWRP, the Aroma installer starts, you go through your options, press install, and what? Do you see wiping data? system? Does it show progress percentage? Or right after you press install in aroma, aroma FCs, and the phone reboots?
essentiallly yes.
In aroma, i go thru the options about installing the ROM.
then it asks if i want to wipe before install, then install starts.
in Android Revolution, it gets to 30% right away, then crashes.
in ViperONE it gets to 1%, hangs, then crashes.
i'm sorry i dont have a log to show.

Install the latest version of TWRP (2.8.6.1) and boot into recovery.
Go into Mount
If "Only mount system read-only" (at the very bottom) is selected, deselect it. If it's not selected, select it, and then immediately de-select it.
Try to install again.
did it. exactly the same result.
if i look at the terminal results, it says E: Unable to mount '/cache'

Are you able to mount cache in the TWRP mount menu?
Are you positive you have good ROM downloads? Are you able to unzip them on a computer?
I'm running out of ideas. You might want to post in this TWRP thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
Who is your carrier? If there's an RUU for your specific carrier, you could try running it. You know it will wipe your SD card, though, right?
I ended up installing the RUU from the link I posted. It worked like a charm.
"You are aware it will wipe your SD"
DUDE! I literally had a blank phone. It showed 32gb free space. There was NOTHING on it.
The RUU worked though.
I kinda want to try again, because I have no idea what went wrong or why... At least I know how to fix it now.
Thanks for the help.

for flashing the no-wipe I had no problems but I did go into the 3 android-info.txt files and change the cid and mid to match my device. also had to flash it twice as the first flash always fails. Recently I learned about changing the cid to supercid and I think that solves having to go into the files. If your phone is still not working you can always go to the link below and download the RUU for your device and then run the .exe file from your pc and return to stock (I'd look for the specific instructions for that because I did leave some steps out).
EDIT--just looked at full wipe file and it's not an RUU must have been another thread I was thinking of.

Yeah, well now that you know the RUU works to restore I think you'd be safe to try again.
Just install the latest TWRP (2.8.6.1) and flash the NO WIPE 1.40.401.8 firmware. The wipe version contains the stock recovery and you don't want that.
Or, if you want to use Viper, there's an option in Aroma to install it with the 1.32 kernel so you could just skip the firmware update.
