i have htc m9 with a custom ROM ViperoneM9 3.5.0 i tried to flash it with ViperOneM9 6.1.0 using TWRP 3.0.0 when it finished and i reboot the device i get stucked in the bootloader and i cant access the android system
i tried using the lastest version of TWRP but i cant access to recovery mode with it , i get the message " failed to boot to recovery mode "
my device is Sprint , unlocked bootloader rooted with SuperSu , S-ON
What did i do wrong ? Is there a guide how to go from ViperoneM9 3.5.0 to ViperOneM9 6.1.0 ?

You still need to do what I told you the last time.

Make sure that you are on the latest firmware of your sku and update TWRP to the latest version before you try flashing any newer viper version.

And according to your thread from last year's september you won't be able to do so without S-OFF.

Is your device GPE-based or Sense-based? It may not seem it, but the 2 are actually different enough that if your device is setup for one, it cannot boot the other (i.e. you cannot install a GPE-based ROM on a Sense-based phone without converting it). IIRC btw AR is Sense-based.

Did you update firmware also? FIRMWARE 3.28.401.6 is obligatory before installing any 4.4.4 Sense-based ROM.
Same error here. I try various different roms (4.4.4 Sense based) and they all work just ARHD didn't work. I dont know what cause this error but you can try the other roms.
My firmware is 2.22.401.5
And here is the problem. Enter bootloader mode and upgrade your firmware.

skydragon rom - stuck at boot screen

I have an AT&T HTC One M8. It was already rooted when it bought it. Running stock 4.4.2
I have installed the most current version of TWRP. I created a successful backup.
I am trying to install the ROM for skydragon 5.5 but it just gets stuck on the startup screen (white android screen)
I am S-on.
I flashed (via fastboot) the boot.img from the Skydragon 5.5 Rom.
I installed Skydragon 5.5 Rom from the TWRP install screen.
(note - these are the instructions from skydragon website and it states I do not need S-off as long as I flash the boot image)
When I reboot it just hangs on the startup screen (white android screen)
I can recover to get back to a working phone but I would really like to upgrade to skydragon. I have been having constant problems with bluetooth headsets on the stock 4.4.2 and am hoping the newer skydragon ROM and boot.img would resolve the poor bluetooth sound quality issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You probably need to update your firmware/hboot.

As mentioned, you need to update your firmware.
Current ROMs won't run properly (extreme long boot times, broken WiFi) on old firmware (hboot, radio, etc.).
Plus, the current TWRP will not flash ROMs properly on the old hboot.
I dont fully understand why but I lost my backup during my installation of the new skydragon ROM. The backups were on the SD card.......and then they vanished.
I did manage to barely avoid bricking my phone. I re-locked my phone, installed the HTC RUU for lollipop and got my phone back to working. I had been trying to use sunshine S-off tool so that I could upgrade the firmware but I couldnt get my phone to boot up to perform the S-off installation process.
I still want to install skydragon. These are the steps I think I need to take.
1. unlock/root my HTC M8
2. Install TWRP
3. Backup my phone
4. install the new Skydragon Lollipop ROM
* note - I assume that I dont need S-OFF since my firmware should have already been upgraded when I installed the HTC Lollipop RUU.
If my phone is S-off will the skydragon lollipop ROM installation automatically install the firmware? Or is that a separate installation?
1: You lost all because you ran a RUU !
2: A custom rom NEVER changes the firmware

To confirm whether the firmware was updated or not; what does it say on the hboot screen for hboot number, radio baseband, and OS number?

Flashing a ROM never updates your firmware. The firmware partitions (hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) are not included in a ROM zip.
Firmware flash is done as a separate action, usually via fastboot.
Actually I lost my backup before I installed the RUU......otherwise I would have reverted to my previous kitkat installation rather than installing the RUU and losing all my data. I know the RUU basically reimages all the memory.
I was using sideload to install the skydragon ROM. I suspect I did something wrong during one my fastboot flash commands or the adb sideload commands.

You need the stock (never rooted) ROM and stock recovery to OTA update.
Did you covert to GPE with s-off and RUU, or was it GPE from the factory?

No Recovery?

Right, here is what I have:
HTC 0ne M9 -Carrier is Bell
I have Venom Rom 3.5
SuperSU - verified root
S-ON
Bootloader Unlocked
TWRP- 2.8 but currently missing?
Phone doesn't want to boot into recovery after using suggested twrp method to upgrade to 3.0.
Have tried re-install in download + bootloader mode -nadda
Interestingly I can`t find the root portion when plugged into laptop (win7) but! can find it with solid explorer ( has a little lock icon beside it) suggesting it`s inaccessible?
Phone works fine....but I'd like new kit!!
Thanks all,
Colin :highfive:

Running supersu 2.65, will try twerp 2.9.
Thanks for the reply!
I has recovery! This means newer versions and m9's are not so compatible?
Anyone with a link for upgrading the Venom Rom with newest patches? Overall I'm trying to get Marshmallow loaded with the Venom Rom, any help would be appreciated!
Thanks all!
If you want to go from Lollipop to marshmallow you should have done that before rooting.
You need the official htc marshmallow update as a base then flash venom rom over the top of it.
S-on means you have to get the device back to official status before you can use an ruu or ota.
The quick and easy way is s-off.

I've had the device rooted for over 6 months now just about getting the updates and things. Will do the s-off to get the ball rolling again.
Thanks for your time,

Htc one M9 won't boot to OS, recovery/fastboot working

Hello, i have a big problem with my HTC one m9.
Today i tried to update it to the latest VIPER one rom (5.0) from an old insert coin rom (3.1.2) but to do so i had to update the firmware and the TWRP to the latest versions. I updated the TWRP but i found out that it does not work with android 5.x rom: the only one who works is the 3.0.0 or lower, but the recovery is now fine. The problem is that, after the update of the firmware (that i don't know if i did it right because i just flashed the boot.img that was inside the rom, i should have been s-off probably), the phone keeps going to bootloader mode. Even if i reboot system from recovery, the phone does not power on the system. I tried to flash ICE 4.0.4 and VIPER 4.3.0 but with both of them i got the same result.
I am:
SOFTWARE STATUS: MODIFIED
UNLOCKED
S-ON
If you need other informations please let me know.
Anyway to solve it? Thanks!
same problem bro :/

I'm guessing that something went sideways when you flashed the boot.img - which is probably the conclusion you've reached as well. In your shoes, I'd go straight to flashing an RUU. This would restore your phone to stock and (assuming it's available) bring your firmware up to date too.
