AT&T no boot animation after flashing ViperOne - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am unlocked, rooted, s-off and running 4.3 on my AT&T m8. I recently flashed Viper One, which was my first ROM on this phone, and I no longer have a boot animation, for a while I thought I was stuck on the boot screen but it turns out that I have no boot animation. When I restart my phone all I get is the red text screen, lasts for maybe 3-4 minutes and then the screen turns off when the phone has booted. I asked in the Venom IRC and no one seemed to know what the problem was, so I just thought I would ask here. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, thanks!

Question I really read a lot.
As the ROM thread of Viper One states it is designed for FW 2.22.401.x Did you flash the newest FW? If yes you should have a boot animation.
Hit "Thanks" if I was if any help

Yes I am on 2.22.401.4, that seemed to be what the people in the IRC seemed to think as well. I have considered going to 2.22.1540.3 and trying again but haven't had time to do so yet.

Please don't posts multiple threads asking the same question. I answered your question and attempted to help you here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/boot-animation-restarting-installing-t2849818
Did you manually flash firmware with fastboot? If not, you are not on the new 2.22 firmware. Also check your hboot, if on the new firmware, it will be 3.18.
Otherwise, 2.22.1540 firmware is recommended for US users, so flash it.

[Q] What's the right TWRP image for Verizon HTC One?

Does anyone have a link for the right TWRP image for the Verizon HTC One? Looking through the TWRP site, I see custom images for the HTC One on all the other major carriers but not for Verizon
Is just the generic one labeled [m7] the right one to use? Or is there no longer a TWRP image for this phone?

One more question. I'm using rumrunner to try and S-Off my HTC One. I'd ask this question in that thread but don't have enough posts.
I ran rumrunner and after a bunch of reboots and stuff it looked like it was working but then gave an error "temproot failed" and told me to hit enter to exit. I rebooted the phone into hboot and it still says S-On. So I tried running it again but all it does is constantly reboot the phone and repeat:
Waiting for the device
heh, just a shot glass for this one.....
........................

each time it reboots the phone. I let it go for 30 minutes and then waited until the phone was booted before yanking the cord.
Any ideas? Fastboot is off and USB debugging is on.
What OS version is on your phone. The method has to match...ie .10, .15 etc. If you took the 4.3 update you can't root until beaups updates rum runner
Sent from my Ecliptic One.
Managed to get it worked out. I deliberately did not update my phone so I was still on 4.2, but I was using the .15 version instead of the .10 version. Fixed that and we're all good. S-Off, rooted, TWRP, and running latest Cyanogen nightly. WOOT.

[Q] Android Revolution HD 10.2 boot animation

Anyone have any information on installing some sort of boot animation to the M8 running ARHD 10.2? Currently it takes a few minutes to fully boot and stays on the HTC development warning screen the entire time. I actually have to press the power button or screen to get it past this screen after a few minutes, otherwise it just stays there.

I can't think of how often I see those posts anymore.
I'd guess you are not on a FW version 2.22.xxx, am I right?. The boot animation is - as I'm quiet sure - correctly installed but not showing as ARHD is designed to work wit FW 2.22.xxx, but not with any FW below this.

I've actually got the same issue with the boot screen and I'm running FW version 2.22.401.4, so that may not be the issue at hand.
It is a real pain though, it's slow to boot and only goes through to the homescreen after the screen times out (at first boot I thought the phone had bricked until I head a notification sound).

~~Looks like you were right on this, at least for me... I sunshine'd & updated the firmware, I still get the development boot screen but only for a couple seconds and then the boot animation runs. Thanks! :good:

So then lets have a closer look on that.
You are running FW2.22.401.4, meaning HBoot 3.18 an Radio 1.19!? And you are ruinning ARHD 10.2 as the OP of this thread does. So according to your setup all should be fine and booting fast, but it doesn't.
May I ask where you got the firmware from an what your CID/MID actually are?

This can't be checked in Settings>About, so if that is where you are getting the information from, its not necessarily correct.
Firmware in fact does not have a real "number"; although we will often refer to the software (OS) number the firmware deployed with.
The only way to really confirm you have updated firmware, is to check hboot number and radio as mentioned above.

Cheers, relatively new to HTC phones so wasn't aware of the differences.
CID is VODAP021, Hboot is 3.16 and Radio is 1.16 so looks like I'm not on the latest version after all?

That's right. It's the HBoot and radio corresponding to the software number 1.54.xxx.xx.
To run e.g. ROMs such as ARHD and ViperOne you need to flash the firmware corresponding to the software number 2.22.xxx.x, as I mention just in one of my first posts in this thread.
More info and link to instructions on how to update the firmware are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54408500&postcount=9592
If you didn't do it this way (or already got a software 2.xx OTA or came from factory that way) then you are not on the new firmware.

[Q] Unroot HTC One (M8) complications

Hey guys, I really need some assistance. I had rooted my phone a couple weeks back and now it runs the latest TWRP. Currently I have a System Update for my phone, but everytime I try to update it brings me to the TWRP Recovery menu and I dont know what to do from there. I had attempted to unroot my phone as well and that has also failed. If there is someone who can help me out with this problem, I'd be extremely grateful.

probably easiest to flash the RUU for t-mobile. you can get it from http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You will have to relock the bootloader first from what i have heard unless you are s-off. relocking the bootloader is fastboot oem lock
I'm in the same boat. Can you even do the update through TWRP?
I'm also not sure I even rooted this properly (new to HTC) for the reason of whenever I plug in the charger when the phone is powered off, I get this orange type of text warning then it flickers to the TWRP screen before finally displaying the charging animation.

[Q] HTC One (M7) Verizon MID NOT ALLOWED

I have a HTC One (m7) from Verizon. I have been trying to root my phone from my iMac. I followed the steps in SAKITECH youtube video. Everything works fine until I get to the HTCDEV site and put in my ID Token. I get an error code saying MID NOT ALLOWED. I have tried it probably 100 times and it will not work, I actually attempted so much that it locked me out (exceed unlock limit), I had to create a new account and still cannot get it to go.
Any suggestions?
The Verizon m7 was blocked from the HTC dev site a long time ago.

1st , the search button on Xda is key. What u will find,is that ever since the 2nd day of the HTC one's release of the Verizon variant, htcdev has been blocked by Verizon, and unlocking bootloader via htcdev is impossible on Verizon model. Depending on which hboot and android/software version your running,there are different options. However, if your 4.4.2 or above, chances are, your only option is Sunshine , which unlocks your bootloader and S-offs your device, but it costs $25, however it's well worth it. (i believe some ppl have said firewater which is free HAS worked on 4.4.2, but rarely. I know4.4.3s ONLY option is Sunshine)

ARHD is for other variants. Try ViperDNA or one of Santod's modified stock roms. A good sense kernel is either the one made by brymaster5000 or Kangaroo kernel.

Generally,when it comes to custom roms/kernels ,stick to the ones in the Verizon M7 thread and if you're really wanting one outta the HTC one forums, SPECIFICALLY check with the devs if it's compatible with our carrier variant..

+ 1 on brymaster5000 s ELITE LUNAR kernel, ALSO highly recommend ElementalX, there IS a working Verizon build, I've been running it awhile now and love it. Haven't tried Kangaroo yet, but heard great things, and Xceed Synapse, although that seems a lot more advanced/complicated if you're not too familiar with custom kernels..

ARHD from what I've read is NOT compatible with the Verizon M7... I could be wrong, but ARHD isn't listed in the Verizon M7 development forums,and what I've read from the regular M7 ARHD thread ALSO suggests that ARHD isn't compatible.. so that's probably your problem. Flashing roms that aren't compatible with your device will cause unwanted consequences. I'm not big into custom Roms, I'm more into kernels and mods, but if you're looking for a good Sense based Rom, try Viper, NuSense or Bonestock, among others. But like I said, the problem seems to be that your trying to run ARHD, which isn't compatible with Verizon's model of the M7... Revert to a Nandroid backup, or flash a different Rom...

OK, New Problem. I downloaded and installed the STOCK RUU (Debloated) and it installed booted and I keep getting Error Messages. "Unfortunately, com.android.systemUI has Stopped" and "Unfortunately, android.process.core has stopped". I had this problem initially with Liquid Smooth but after a FACTORY RESET (thru bootloader) and a fresh install (thru recovery) it was fine, but I didn't have any apps, and more importantly, GOOGLR PLAY STORE. And now I cannot get into Settings to turn FASTBOOT off - therefore I cannot get into recovery to attempt to reinstall.

Plug phone into PC. Open a command window (start menu, search cmd and hit enter) then type "adb reboot bootloader"
Or just hold the power button until device reboots right when it reboots hold the vol down key while still pressing the power button. You should reboot to bootloader. Then select recovery.

I cannot get into boot loader bc I think fast boot is enabled, when I shut down phone and press volume down and power it just boots the phone normally. My phone is currently booting, shutting down, and rebooting all on its own. I cannot stop it. I cannot get into settings to turn FASTBOOT off b my phone doesn't do anything when I click on settings, and only stays on for about 30 seconds and then reboots again.
I have a mac. But I tried using terminal to reboot boot loader but it will not pick up my device

I got it rooted. I used SUNSHINE to get bootloader unlocked

Need help! To remove the development warning - Htc M8 Unlocked Version [Solved]

Hi, I did the bootloader unlock, then flashed twrp recovery and rooted my one m8 to remove some default system apps. I did this as I liked the htc 10 concept, so followed it. Now after all that I, I did a reset of my phone to remove root and flashed back the original recovery file. And I relocked the bootloader to try to make it all back to normal and thinking that warning sign "This build is for development purposes only n so on..." will go. But the problem came when i did the relock of the bootloader, and restarted the phone I got stuck in fastboot/hboot. Restarted many times even did factory reset from stock recovery but still stuck on fastboot/hboot. So I had no option to unlock bootloader again and get my phone working .
Please I want to remove the "This build is for development purposes only n so on..." being in unlock bootloader or locked bootloader doesn't matter .

Thanks, I just installed my stock rom and recovery back and relocked it..... its all fine now, just sense home update does not happens. In google play it shows incompatible due to maybe some imposed restrictions by HTC . I have to manually update it for now .
