Thanks for the quick reply what can i do to fix this rrupert

For me, being fairly new, was to use the CyanogenMod installer. It does all the work for you, then you can flash whatever Rom you like.

I suggest you to use Odin to restore stock Rom from www.sammobile.com
When it's done, root again and reinstall custom recovery.
DON'T EVER TRY TO DOWGRADE

I fixed it I found a thread that had JB 4.3 flashable zip because that's what came with my phone thanks for the help everyone back to sgh-i927 thread I'm a Dev and help people there

No Custom ROMS will install - Won't open ZIP

Hello all,
Apologies if this has been asked before but can't find a concrete answer or a way to fix this.
My phone is rooted, unlocked and S-Off . When I go into recovery and to install my new rom they all fail saying can't open Zip file. I have used both TWRP and CWM but both give me the same message.
I tried the new VIPER Rom, the new InsertCoin Rom for my HTC One M8 and all give me the same.... I've downloaded twice, put them from computer straight to my phones sd card and then tried internal storage but nothing seems to work?
Can anyone help out?

Custom Recovery HTC One M9

Hi!
I unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One M9,
(says unlocked now)
I followed all the steps on the tutorial in order to flash the TWRP, everything happens exactly how tutorial shows, but then when I reboot on recovery mode, doesn't use the twrp, just the stock recovery.
Anybody knows what can be the mistake?
Thanks in advance
Ps: teach me as a noob, I'm kinda one :silly:

It looks like you flashed a ROM for the t805 not the t705.
First let's get you back to stock.
Download the firmware for your device from the link below.
Follow the instructions to install it. This will get you up and running again.

No need to flash the bootloader after flashing the stock firmware.
I would do a factory reset in recovery.

Hi ya, I have already done that but issue still there. Now I can boot up and start the setup process and the tablet freezes and reboots about 1 minute into setup process near where you have to sign in to google
Any more suggestions:crying::crying::crying: please

Tbh I think you have a hardware issue.

Now new problem when I try to install twrp it will not do it, If I go into the system recovery and try to do factory reset an error shows as follows
E: unknown volume for path {/sbfs}
E: unknown volume "/sbfs"[/U][/U]
Data wipe complete.
I thought it may be battery related but I have changed to a genuine new battery. still same issue
Please please Tech God help me
