Hey guys. I've been working on getting my GPE converted device back to sense but I've hit a road block. First off, this device was upgraded to 5.0 while it was a GPE device and all the tutorials I've seen are for devices on KitKat. The point I'm stuck at is where the device was supposed to boot back into the stock rom it didn't. I went ahead and flashed the TWRP recovery to it but now it won't go into trwp it just sits at entering recovery. What went wrong here? I'm trying to install Skydragon ultimately.
UPDATE: I managed to Flash an older version of TWRP and got it booted. I installed SkyDragon Lollipop Sense Rom but I am sitting at the white HTC screen. Just really stuck at this point.

I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523 to go back but I never was successful. I reverted back to the GPE RUU and then flashed TWRP which I then used to flash the custom M8-GPE rom on the forums. it runs smooth and has sense camera and things so i'm wondering if it's worth going back to stock and installing a sense based lollipop rom. I'd still really like the ability to go back if need be.

So i update to the new Evo update and i get stuck on a black screen with an android guy confused as hell with a triangle...whas mean?
what state was the phone in before u tried to update. was it rooted, custom recovery, completely stock?
...another victim.
You tried booting into recovery, but stock recovery is no recovery, marked by the triangle and red !. If you're still s-off, flash a recovery, CWM or amon_ra, then flash a rom.

That's stock recovery
I would say pull the battery and leave it for 10 minutes or so. Worked for me once in the past. Hope that helps. Good luck!
it was rooted with the newest (nightly) of CM7, i booted into clockwork mod recovery cause i wanted to switch to stock so i could recieve new update. so i cleared all my data then performed a recovery that put me to the stock ROM (rooted) then cleared phone again to have a total fresh install and then searched for the update and downloaded it and tried installing it but its all like, HEY YOU CANT DO THAT DLFJOEIFJDKFJDF. Halp.

Boot into the bootloader, turn your phone off, while turning it on, hold the vol+down key till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding. At the top you'll see either s-on or off; If s-off, reflash a recovery via PC36IMG, then flash another rom.
okay, i am s-off so basically find a stock ROM flash it then check for the update?

No...the rooted stock OTA roms aren't out yet. Probably by the end of the day. Just flash a rom and just coast till now; like I said, virus should have it by the end of the day.
Okay, I mean my phone works and everything I'm just on the stock rooted ROM (previous to the newest 2.3) I'm just a little confused as to how its not letting me update, I thought the fact that i was rooted didn't really matter cause it would just unroot and wipe out everything.
Triangle Update Error
I am getting the same triangle update error. I have a rooted phone using unrevoked 3. My buddie has the same set up and we both are getting the error. We are trying to un-root our phones to a stock rom but neither of us can find one that removes unrevoked root. Can anyone help. I am a web/graphics computer guy. I don't know much about roms.
Thanks,
Nick

Well if you're on aosp, you can't update, you'd have to be on a sense rom. And you should never accept an OTA while rooted, as it can brick your phone, or permanently use root.
i am on a sense ROM its the stock ROM and i just ran unrevoked.
Hi i just recently unlocked s-off and rooted my HTC one and played around in custom roms. I disliked most of them and when back to the stock rom. The only thing is now a new update came out and i cant update because when i try to install it i just go into my custom recovery (TWRP). I don't care about re locking, s-on and unroot all i want to be able to do is update the stock rom. thanks fro your time hope you can help.

This is all i did to get the updates to 15:
I have used Santod040 roms in case i need to go back to pure stock ROM only: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2485319
You will need the odex one to run any OTA . i would download/flash the stock 10 to be sure you get the full firmware to get the 15 update.
then
Get into fastboot and flash the stock recovery you can get below:
You can get it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgzgq84svzahvnv/htconerecovery_signed.img
fastboot flash recovery htconerecovery_signed.img
You can try to update.
That should resolve your problem and you might want to post this kinda stuff under help and troubleshooting since it fits that better.
Good Luck

I soft bricked my M8 a while back, and I'm stuck on Paranoid Android 4.5. I'd like to get on lollipop, but I don't know how to get lollipop without getting onto my stock firmware backup which got deleted when I soft bricked it. I've tried sunshine, but it says it needs a near stock sense rom, which I tried and it didn't work.
Got any ideas?

Download some stock based sense rom like Skydragon(some guys did s-off with skyadragon rom) and give it a try. Backup first so you do not get into some bad situation :good:

There are three ways to update your firmware to Lollipop.
1: Go to this thread for a stock ROM backup and stock recovery, and update via the OTAs offered by your carrier.
2: Backup your data with TWRP and save it to extSD, run the appropriate RUU for your device, re-flash TWRP and restore data.
3: Flash the MaximusHD ROM (use the version that matches your current firmware, not the newest) and use Sunshine to achieve S-Off, then flash a modified Lollipop firmware package. (The best option IMO) Current and previous versions of MaximusHD can be found here.

and install 4.28.502.2 RUU
Relock bootloader before you run the RUU
Hello everyone,
I have a TMO Note 3 running Lollipop at this moment, the phone is rooted, but I tried flashing a new ROM and it soft bricked on me. ODIN stopped at the very beginning of flashing and just bricked the phone. Also TWRP was not working either and still not, but I was able to bring the phone back from the semi-dead state it was in. I want to flash it again but now I don't know if I did something wrong (most likely) and I just need some feedback on what to do. I wanna go to a stock rom so i can upgrade to the actual Lollipop Rom from T-mobile but I was also wondering if I can just flash a stock 5.0 rom that runs better than the one I have. Additionally, I just cant get TWRP to stick at all; every time I try to flash it and try to go into recovery, phone goes into boot loop. Here are some screenshots of the current "about phone" section. I am sorry if i am not asking the right questions but I gotta start somewhere. Thanks everyone in advanced!

If you can get into download mode, flash the latest stock rom from Sammobile.com.

Your post has many repeats - please clean it up.
Yes, when you RSD or flash a stock rom, you also change the recovery back to stock(unless you selectively do not). If you want TWRP, just flash it again.

Despite all the unnecessary repetations... You did go back to 7.0, not 7.1? Well, unless you flashed a version older than the stock version you where on when switching to custom ROM, just look if there is already a OTA. In fact there should be many. OTAs with unlocked bootloader aren't a problem as long as you don't change recovery, the only problem is flashing an older stock ROM than you had. Then you'll get an OTA too but that would brick your device
