I have a Verizon HTC One M7
I have Root, My BL is unlocked and I have a custom recovery installed (TWRP)......My problem is when ever I try to install a custom Rom everything goes fine until I reboot and it just sits there at a white screen with the HTC logo and just continues to loop back into that screen. I need help as I do not know what I am doing wrong and would really like to try a custom rom I have done the parts right in the custom recovery, to wipe the certian parts before the rom install yet it does not work. Any help would be really appreciated in advance thank you.

What version of TWRP are you using and what roms have you had issues with? Could be bad downloads or a Rom that isn't compatible.

I am using TWRP 2.7.0.0 I believe I tried ViperOne Rom it installs fine when I click Reboot it does and goes to a white screen with the htc logo and just sits there and does it over an over.
Are both the TWRP and the ROM specifically marked as designed for m7vzw?

I think so I went to the page for TWRP and typed in HTC One and it came for the m7 but now that you mention it I guess it should be as you mentioned above that does make sense as for the rom I guess I did not look into that.
Yeah I looked again on the page for TWRP and the option does come up for the m7 but it does not say specifically for Verizon Wireless so I am guessing the one I downloaded is not suppose to be on my device ?
Interesting I have since put clock word on there and it is for my device yet when I try the install for viperone now it just sits at 1% and does nothing.....I guess I just do not know what I am doing with installing a custom rom....

TWRP for Verizon m7: LINK
CWM sometimes does not like Aroma installers.
Use the latest TWRP and you will be fine.
You may possibly still have a secure boot.img as well, in which case you could fastboot flash the one in the rom zip if it still doesn't boot after flashing with proper twrp.

Mmmmmm maybe that is what I am doing wrong, do you have to flash that img.file that comes packed in with the rom separately after you flash the rom?

So does anyone know if that is what you have to do to flash a custom rom? As all of the vids that I have watched the person just puts the rom on the their phone wipes the data in the custom recovery and clicks install navigates to where the rom is and clicks on it and it starts to install it?

What is the exact Rom that you are flashing. It could be that you are flashing a GSM only Rom.

I soft bricked my M8 and wiped the phone with twrp then tried to sideload the GPE rom I was using again and it wouldn't work. In fact I can't flash any rom that isn't cyanogen mod nightly for the m8... Also my bootloader changed from the white screen with the droid bots on a skateboard to a black screen with a single droid on it. Any idea why I can't flash anything besides cyanogen?

Did you try pushing the rom instead of sideloading it? Apparently sideloading in TWRP doesn't work, or doesn't work like it should
Try pushing it to the correct path and flash again.
Are you S-OFF?

Yeah, once I got the phone fixed I tried to load it normally. However it still didn't work. I tried other recoveries like Philz Touch too. Unfortunately firewater doesn't work for me.

Try flashing the boot.img file that comes with the ROM first, then re-flash the ROM of your choice.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go back into recovery of choice, wipe cache, dalvik-cache etc Then go to installed zip and select the ROM of your choice and flash the ROM.
Firewater won't work anymore for "later released" models that gets shipped with latest firmware. HTC patched it, you "MIGHT" be lucky if you still have an older device.
The developers of Firewater did however create another method to S-OFF the device. [Android][HTC S-OFF] SunShine for modern HTC devices
Sunshine is $25 but it works. It first checks your phone for compatibility before you pay for anything. That way if your device "isn't" compatible then it won't make you pay $25 for something that "won't" work.
Something to look into if you have $25 to spare :good:

There is no offical twrp for the AT&T version of the m8 and I did flash in fastboot. The ROM I used worked in a previous installation as well. It soft bricked after updating so I completely wiped the phone now it wont install.
I had a similar problem, I had to use the format option in twrp and then used RUU

I'd still give the format option a try, I wasn't able to flash any roms except for the CM nightly as well, then I made it worse by trying to wipe the internal data which led to not being able to mount the internal partition, and couldn't even get into the bootloader until my phone battery died. I remember reading that the format would allow me to mount the internal storage. You may be able to fix the issues with a format and then try flashing a rom.
Did you try converting your phone over to GPE? That's what it sounds like you tried to do. If so then that is why nothing is working because the partitions are layed out differently from a stock sense M8. You need to wipe everything and run whatever RUU is available for your device and pray to god it works because you are s-on... You seriously should have been s-off before doing all of this. Being s-on is really going to complicate things for you bro... That's also probably why you can't fastboot the kernel. Find a RUU for your phone and run it. Post back here if you get any "main version" errors cuz then some tricks will need to be done.. Feel free to PM me, maybe I can assist directly getting you back up and running...

Hello everyone,
So I've looked around on this topic and it's still an issue, albeit a minor one. My M8 phone is unlocked/rooted, and S-OFF'd. I am currently using ViperOne M8, which is awesome!
When I boot to HBOOT after installing new firmware the OS line is filled in, but after booting to Recovery and going back to HBOOT, the OS line is now blank. I've been told this is a bug in TWRP, and not a bug or issue anywhere else. I've tried 2 different approaches to fixing it. One entailed flashing a new ZIP (or flashing something), but the instructions stated that I needed to boot to Recovery while in Stock Recovery, which my phone does not do. It's only when I use a TWRP Recovery that I am able to go into any Recovery Menu. The other one had to do with flashing a zipped firmware, but even though that flash worked just fine, it still didn't resolve the OS issue. I have tried looking all around, but either I'm missing something, or it's just not knowing enough about what I'm reading to recognize the right answer.
So please, will someone tell me HOW do I get rid of that pesky TWRP bug that causes the OS line in HBOOT to blank out after only 1 visit to recovery post-firmware update?
I would appreciate ANY info you can give me.
Thank You,
RockStar2005
Download the modified Twrp from here:

Flash the modded (test) Twrp recovery with flashify and you won't have to worry about that happening again after flashing the firmware. You are going to have to flash your current firmware for it to show up again. Works perfect after that. Hope that helps

Guys, I was flashing RUU.exe to my M8 and I suddenly got USB Error after some few seconds the process started. HBOOT booted without a blank HBOOT and afterwards, RUU now returns with an error that I should flash the correct RUU. I didn't have any backup of the OS but I had a TWRP backup which I downloaded and it was on the phone so I tried recovering but still OS is blank. Phone also doesn't boot pass HBOOT, even after restoring. Please help.
Hello to everyone ,

simple question, do you flashed the boot.img inside the rom using fastboot?(fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Simple answer.
No.
Now what ?

This isn't normally required on the M8, unless its some quirk specific to MIUI (which is a ROM I don't a have much knowledge of).
Make sure your TWRP version is up to date.
Make sure your hboot is up to date.
Wipe user data and cache (default wipe in TWRP) before flashing the ROM.
Those are the most common reasons for no boot after flashing multiple ROMs.
I dont use TWRP. I use Philz Touch recovery.
Where can i download latest TWRP ?

That may be the issue right there. I know some folks are still using it, but Philz hasn't been updated in a long time. And since some newer ROMs have issues with older TWRP builds, I would assume the same would be true with Philz.

Well let me explain. I wanted to tether, so I thought I would try and root and install a custom rom. I used Odin to install TWRP, downloaded NobleRom, thinking that it should work, flashed it and all it does it sit at the android screen when I boot up. I did a wipe and tried to install a "stock" rom that is apparently incompatible. My phone is a 920P. Currently lost and looking for direction for a slim, compatible rom that works.
HELP!

The reason your phone won't boot is due to the wrong kernel and even then won't boot (as I've tried). What I recommend you doing is booting into TWRP and installing Renegade ROM its is currently one of the only stable ROMs for our phone.

That's what the post above suggested. Thank you for explaining why. So from what you're saying, each rom is based on a particular Kernel? What other factors must be the same? I'm sorry if this is a dead horse, just new to me.

Hello there,
This is my first XDA thread! This is an issue I ran into.
I just installed CM 14.1 on my OP3. I downloaded the latest TWRP from the official website before flashing it.
Here is the problem. After setting up my ROM, like installing all the required apps, I'm not able to boot into recovery. I tried flashing TWRP again, I downloaded the oneplus recovery from your website and I flashed that one too.
I erased recovery partition and installed both of them again (erasing each time). What happens is, after booting into the bootloader, I select recovery to go to the recovery and it stays blank, unless I reset it by holding the buttons.
Please let me know what I can do.
Same happened to me also. But somehow I fixed it by installing TWRP again by using OnrPlus 3 toolkit. Here is the toolkit forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3398993. Can't post links. Don't forget to put http:// front of it

Thanks for the reply.
Are you sure what happened to is exactly what happened to you? Because I tried the ToolKit and it is not working. I tried both the versions of the TWRP and Stock recovery.
If you know anything else about this issue that would help me. I'd love to hear it.

Also. Does encryption affect this in anyway, because I did it. I don't want to factory reset my phone because this is my primary phone and I don't have another phone. And I don't want to risk it, at least for a few days.
