new to rooting, flashing, etc.
Tried flashing CyanogenMod 6, I believe, using ROM Manager app. I downloaded the ROM to SD card and followed instructions to install. Now it's been stuck booting for an hour. I tried taking the battery out and going into recovery but it just gets stuck at the Odin screen with 'do not turn off target' message.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone.
CyanogenMod 6??? Why not CM9 or CM10? Did you root the phone ? Follow this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

I'm not sure what version I attempted to install. It could've been CM9/10...
I did root the phone prior to doing all of this. I did as you suggested: go into recover and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and fix permissions and when I reboot the phone, the Samsung logo pops up and vibrates, then nothing. I keep having to take out the battery to restart.

You can go to the tread I posted before, download and flash with odin stock rooted rom it should work. It did for me.

I downloaded the file to my desktop and when I use Odin to load, it cannot find the file type. I think it has to be a .tar file.
Thanks
Flash the rom twice, then see if that works.
Usually in rom manager it detects your phone and WON'T let you dl a rom not specific to your phone.

I suggest that you pay more attention to what your flashing and do some more reading. You can end up with a paperweight easily being this careless

You need to download a 7z file extractor its like zip or rar, Extract the stock_root67.tar from the .7z file you downloaded.
hello i decided to upgrade my hboot by flashing the correct firmware http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=3.16.65.2.zip also never did any OTA just update my hboot
my cid is orang216 and now after upgrading i am completely stuck on htc ONE screen i cant boot into my stock ics 4.0.3 rom anymore pleaseeee helppppppp i can however boot into hboot WHAT TO DOOO???
EDIT : Also i unlocked my new hboot again and flashed cwm recovery touch and did a factory reset aka wipe user data from CWM touch menu but no luck helpppp
You could just flash a new Rom instead of your stock Rom.... Fast boot flash the boot.img then go back into recovery and flash away... I believe the reason why ur getting stuck is because ur on a jelly bean hboot now

correct, he needs a custom JB rom, or a stock JB nandroid backup to restore. if he wants to go back to stock.

OMG Thanks sooooo much to XDA now i am running arhd smoothly on my htc one x WOOOOOOT:victory::victory:
though about full wipe i am using cwm recovery and before flashing the boot.img i did select two option
1.wipe data\clear cache
2.Wipe casch partition
those are the only two options i saw in recovery though there are more option in advanced menu but didnt touch those
summery of what i did:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
again in recovery selected wipe data and wipe cash partition option
installed arhd from recovery(no tweaks selected and also selected data wipe in AROMA)
rebooted to arhd
so now what? did i do a full wipe??? i dont think i did as all music and game data is still in my storage ??? also did i had to SELECT THE battery stats clear CWM???
and just another question why cant i install any of the game apks that i installed easily when i was in stock ics????
You don't need to wipe data so many times... You only have to do it once, either in Aroma installer or through recovery... Also go to advanced>wipe dalvic n cache
Full wipe means your /system /cache and dalvic cache are wiped clean... the user sd card isn't touched. So none of your pics, videos get deleted!
Even your android folder is intact, so if you have downloaded large game data, no need to download it again, just install the apk and your good to go!
and finally about the apks, you have to go to settings and 'check' install apps from unknown sources! That will solve your problem I guess!

Yes, it's normal that you get that message.."Android is upgrading">..
After wiping cache and dalvic from recovery, when the phone boots up.. it again creates the dalvic for the apps. That's why you get that message and there's no need to flash arhd now...
Just go to settings>Apps>select the game>clear cache/data...

Yes, It deleted the stale data/cache and then rebuilds it when phone boots up... so it's a good thing! I always wipe my cache/dalvic once in 10 days or so...
Yes, no need to bother about the bootloader and stuff for now! Enjoy JB/ARHD!

Hi, I'm a noob at messing with rooting or ROMs, I have a T-Mobile HTC One M8 that I rooted, it worked fine until 2 weeks later it started rebooting every few seconds, I went into TWRP Recovery and wiped the Dalvik Cache and the regular Cache, it worked fine for a few days then started rebooting every minute or so so I attempted to wipe both the Dalvick Cache and the regular Cache again thinking it would solve the problem once more. I went into Advanced Wipe and wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and System...it was a noob mistake thinking that I just did a Factory Wipe. I'm not sure why I did that, but afterwards, I lost the OS to my phone because of it.
These are the Problems:
I have S-On
I didn't do a Backup of anything
I don't know how to find the CID (if needed to fix it)
I have no idea how to fix the phone
I've attached a picture of what my bootloader shows for its information. Please can someone help me fix my mistake...I really want to learn how to fix this. Can someone please instruct me how to get my OS back? I want to be able to use this phone again.
I think you can side load in recovery a ROM to flash. Lemme check...

I have a friend that did that this is what he did:
Boot into recovery phone plugged into pc
Put Rom in adb folder and start cmd from that folder
adb devices (to make sure pc is seeing the phone)
adb push NameOfRom.zip /
On phone goto install in recovery pick the Rom and install it
Do you have a micro SD card? If so, download a ROM on your computer, transfer it to micro SD card, put the card into your m8, boot into recovery (hold volume up or down and power, I forget which one, then select recovery) go to install and choose external storage. Then install the rom like normal.

The mistake you made there was that you wiped the system which removes any is that is on your phone.... I've made that mistake before.... That's why every dev says make nandroid backup every so often:good::victory:

System refers specifically to the OS, so obviously if you wipe it, you will have no OS.
First off, my advice is that you should not be wiping anything if you don't know what it is, or what the effect will be. Sorry, not trying to be harsh, but you see the result if you rush into things without being properly informed or careful.
On a similar note, there is usually no reason to wipe Internal Storage. Some of the more OCD folks here like to do it from time to time, just to do a really thorough cleanup. But again, if you don't have a good specific reason to wipe a partition, you shouldn't do it. For instance, even if you had done a TWRP backup, the default save location is Internal Storage, so you would have deleted the backup anyway. Same thing if you had a ROM zip on the Internal Storage (to flash in case of problems like no OS), you would have wiped that too. Its a bit too common to see folks post "I had a ROM zip on the phone, but I wiped everything so now I can't flash the ROM".
All you need to do to recover is adb push a ROM to the internal storage; or copy a ROM to a removable MicroSD card. Then flash either in TWRP.

Thanks for the information,
How do I find out if a ROM is compatible with my phone? or does it matter? also, I read that to flash a ROM, you need to have S-OFF? My phone has S-On, does that matter as well?

Any ROM meant for the M8 should work. If you want to be sure, check the thread for that ROM to see the T-Mobile version is supported. or other T-Mob users have flashed it successfully.

No, you do not need S-off to flash ROMs. You can flash ROMs with S-on. Any mods that require s-off should state so in the top post of the thread for that mod.

Okay thanks, I downloaded a Nandroid Backup from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51836232&postcount=1
The one that shows this: TWRP-TmoUS-Stock-Rom-Backup-1.12.531.19.zip
In the TWRP I go to Install, change the storage to Micro SDcard and choose the zip file, I then swipe to confirm flash...but it doesn't go through it says that it can't read the cache.
Am I possibly doing something wrong?
I think you need to go into boot loader and type command (fastboot erase cache) without the brackets there. Then reboot recovery and try again.

Fastboot erase cache, as previously mentioned. Or using TWRP to erase cache (select Wipe, go Advanced, and check cache) should work, too.

A nandroid backup zip is for you to extract and place the folder to TWRP/backup on your sdcard.
In TWRP you select restore and select that folder.
It is not for install like a ROM.zip

A nandroid backup is indeed a ROM and to replace your current ROM ... just the installation is different from a ROM.zip. You restore a nandroid backup, complete and reboot... you have a stock ROM runnning.

I see, so I have the ability to fix this phone by using this backup on an sd card? its a possibility...by creating a TWRP folder and extracting the nandroid backup.zip in the folder.
Yes
You should already have TWRP backup folder.
The structure is TWRP/BACKUPS/yourdeviceserialno/folderhere
Good luck, gotta go now
I went into twrp(which had just been installed using the twrp app) I then proceeded to make a new backup of my phone and found that afterwards I was no longer able to boot into android. It would automatically boot to recovery. I tried restoring the backup. and then a whole new rom. I have since found I was also unable to boot into download mode. it would still just boot into recovery. Any ideas on how I could fix this? mine is the rogers model to clarify.
Have u tried wiping dalvik cache or factory reset by Twrp?

Yes, I wiped it and tried another rom.
New info just noticed that twrp is throwing out the error E:/sbin/runatboot.sh process ended with error=1
Edit: Upon looking online at the symptoms(automatically booting into recovery no download and no system) i believe the problem may be that twrp got installed on the wrong partition or deleted partitions that it shouldn't have. I'm coming from dn4 by the way.
follow steps:
1. charge ur phone to 80%
2. Advance wipe except SD card
3. Restore Stable backup
Second Option
1. Advance Wipe all
2. Goto fastboot mode
3. Re Flash TWRP Recovery
4. Then Try Restoring Old Stable Backup

Thanks for your suggestion. backing up my internal storage really quick then i'll try option 1(option 2 won't work no matter what i try to boot to it just reloads twrp instantly, like it doesn't even act like i restarted it just goes immediately to the teamwin screen.)
Good luck.. Do update me if it help ..c ya

After screwing around for a bit i managed to reflash a cwm backup of my recovery which now lets me boot into downloader which means if i can track down the official firmware i'll be good to go.
EDIT; Just out of curiosity i flashed the rom i wanted to install. Low and behold its showing the boot animation. i'll update in a few if it boots past there.
EDIT 2: booted! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP
:-o
