Problem: After installing CWM, the phone won't boot fully. It goes to the HTC screen (with some new red text about this being a development-only build) and then reboots to the same screen over and over.
What I've done based on what I've read here:
Cleared the caches in fastboot and rebooted.
Run the unlock token script again.
Installed TWRP, wiped everything.
Attempted to flash CM9 through TWRP (fails).
Attempted to install Scott's Roms 1.85 ROM throught TWRP (failed).
Reinstalled CWM to try to flash Scott's 1.85, but CWM will not go into recovery mode (just goes to the HTC screen and starts boot loop again).
Attempted to install CM9 and Scott's 1.85 through flashboot, no luck because of missing text files (am I using the wrong package?).
Factory reset just takes me to TWRP, and when I try to factory reset from there it goes back into bootloop.
What does work:
I can get to Fastboot on phone.
With TWRP installed, I can into TWRP recovery.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks.

Uhhhhh...try to relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock) and run an RUU. You'll go back to stock. Then follow these steps:
1. Re-unlock your bootloader using the same unlock token you used before
2. Flash TWRP from fastboot (or a one-click)
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. Mount storage and put whatever rom you want into whatever folder you want on the sdcard (CM9 Alpha 5, CleanROM, AOKP M6.2, etc etc)
5. Factory Reset
6. Flash the rom and anything that needs to go with the rom (like Gapps if you're flashing CM9 or AOKP)
7. Reboot and enjoy, be sure to update your SU binaries immediately after booting by opening up the SuperUser app
Also, do not use CWM, our device is not officially supported by the CWM team. Only TWRP is an officially supported recovery for our HOX.

Not sure what happened but I can't flash any custom ROM. This is what I did so I can start flash. I "fastboot OEM lock" then run RUU (RUU_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.53.531.16_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.1..._262073_signed.exe). Everything went good. After that I did a factory reset and erase phone thought Setting. This should be fresh.
Now I unlock bootloader. I did not request a new Unlock_code.bin. I just use the old one i had. Unlock when good. Now I flash "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.1-ville.img", success. I reboot and when into recovery then flash "SuperSU v0.96", success and i do see SuperSU on the phone. Finally I install Goomanager. GooManager installed "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.0.0-ville.img", success.
Now I install custom ROM. I open the custom ROM and drag "boot.img" so i can flash it first before flashing the ROM.
did a "fastboot flash boot boot.img" success. Then when into TWRP v2.3.0.0, and did a wipe cache, wipe devlik, and factory reset, finally flash the ROM. It flash only like less than 5% and then the phone just reboot, Now I'm stuck at HTC Logo w/red letter below..
Could the ROM not compatible w/TWRP v2.3.0.0. This are the ROM i tried, Unofficial AOKP JellyBean Build 4.1 [10/8/12] and Venom ROM, all said ROM flash success and stop at about 5% of flashing, then it reboot and stuck at HTC Logo
Please help.
PS. if I lock BL and run RUU it's working but after unlock BL, root and all success, i cannot flash any rom as stated above.

Everything looked like you did it right. I never new TWRP had a 2.3 version so I looked it up and found this.
Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may not longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated.

It might not be related but since you seem to be doing it write I would go back to TWRP 2.2.2.0 and try to flash a rom there. I'll test it out myself this morning.
Yes the Roms you are using are not compatible with twrp that you are using.I went through this sane exact thing last night.in the thread here they say there is aNew updater binary needed in roms to be ABLE to flash.they provide one but when I put it in my roms they still didn't flash. Boot into bootloader and adb flash cwmr or the previous version of twrp.
i tried to install trickdroid, which went wrong. being the idiot that i am, i erased everything, system, cache, all i could find. now i tried this:
1) Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock
2) Boot into the bootloader and choose to "clear storage" and afterwards to reset to factory defaults.
3) Go back to the all-in-one-kit and flash a CWM recovery version again.
4) Reboot into recovery (CWM). Your /sdcard should now be mounted and visible.
5) Now, try the UTB rom (it worked for me), rename the zip file to something short (i.e. utb.zip), and push it to the sdcard using adb as follows:
Code:
adb push utb.zip /sdcard
6) While still in CWM, flash the zip.
i relocked my phone, but i dont know how to flash stock recovery. i have the stock_recovery.img and i installed all in one kit, but i am not sure what to do now. i tried FLASH RECOVERY/ your own recovery and then flash cwm, but i dont get that option to clear storage, which makes me think i did something wrong. can someone please explain step by step what i need to do? now i am very very angry and i dont think i can think straight at the moment and cant really focus.
thanks a lot
EDIT: now i am downloading the RUU file for one s s3 europe....

To go back to STOCK [S3 - VilleC2] recovery, you must RELOCK bootloader, and than flash THE RUU for your device: (RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.11.401.110_Radi o_16.12.20.02U_16.05.20.16_M2_release_263510_signe d.exe - google it!) - in my case this version worked fine (after RELOCK bootloader) - (ATTENTION! it will erase everything as well as UNLOCK process even after RELOCK) - you'll be back to STOCK ROM with STOCK recovery.
All_in_One_Kit is not proven to work on S3

thanks for the reply
thing is i erased everything, and the only thing i get now is fastboot/hboot. i relocked the phone via hasoon all in one kit, but i dont know how to flash recovery. i tried to but i dont know how to check if the process succeeded. what i need is someone to tell me the steps i have to follow to flash stock recovery and then that RUU file which i am downloading now.
EDIT: i finished downloadin the stock RUU. how can i flash it? i only have fastboot on my phone, i erased everything else
I used Hasoon2000's HTC All-In-One Kit to root my phone. That all worked.
The issue came when i flashed a new kernel. I placed the boot.img from King Kang's new ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959099)
Anyway, When i boot I get the HTC, quietly brilliant logo, and this in red letters "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distrubute... "
i can boot into recovery (pwr+ vol down)
And i get the ***TAMPERED*** AND ***unlocked*** tags at the top
I don't know where to go from here...
Thanks for the help.
Also, whenever i boot into recovery or factory reset, neither succeed.
This was probably known info, just wanted to add it.

You mentioned in your original post that you could boot into recovery, so is that not working now? Factory reset might've fubared the recovery piece, so you could do one of two things:
1) download the original RUU version for your phone, relock your phone, and flash the RUU and start over.
2) try reinstalling TWRP.
This whole thing sounds like trying to install a kernel or fastboot flash a boot.img without SuperSU correctly installed. This is what happened to me when I first unlocked my phone and tried to fastboot flash the CM10 boot.img after failing the flash from recovery twice. Without that super-user permission, bad things tend to happen. If you decide to continue on with reinstalling TWRP, make sure SuperSU.zip is flashed successfully from
TWRP, then try your rom/kernel combination again (or even a different combination if you're apprehensive).
BEWARE: sometimes partially flashing these things can corrupt your sd card. I had to reflash the original RUU to fix my phone BEFORE I rerooted and flashed a rom/kernel.
Have you fastbooted a SU to your phone after you rooted and unlocked? I'd imagine you did if you followed the toolkit.. So your on 2.20... Just download cleanrom 5.1 on your computer. Mount sdcard via recovery and drag cleanrom onto phone. Flash entire rom in recovery. I bet it works
Once your on a stable rom, download king kang from your phone. Download flashgui. Open flashgui app, navigate to king kang and let it find the boot img and flash it for you.. Once successful, immediately boot into recovery and flash entire rom through twrp.

Okay I have been using Android 4.1 for a long time on my tablet it has not allowed me to update so I decided I was going to try and get one of these Roms installed.
First try I downloaded the nightly and then just use my CWM 2.X to install it and it went into a boot loop. Then I read up that it needs at least CWM 3.0.6 so I flashed that onto the device and I got it and then I tried to again install the latest nightly. This time It installed and did not boot loop but stock at the mod loading screen.
I then read this needs the 4.2 bootloader installed so I decided to do this -
Fastboot install CWM 3.0.6.0
Reboot
Fastboot install the 4.2 bootloader
Reboot to CWM
Flash up the Nightly
Flash install gapps
Reboot
And I am still sitting at a stuck boot screen.
If I use the standard 4.2.x install from Asus it installs just fine so I am wondering why this mod won't? Anyone have any ideas?

You'll need to reboot after the bootloader flash. Also probably need a full wipe to solve bootloop.

No go.
Did this -
Wipe
Fastboot install CWM 3.0.6.0
Reboot
Fastboot install the 4.2 bootloader
Reboot
Reboot to CWM
Flash up the Nightly
Flash install gapps
Reboot
I finally got it working here is how it worked -
Wipe
Fastboot install CWM 3.0.6.0
Reboot
Fastboot install the 4.2 bootloader
Reboot
Reboot to CWM
Flash up the Nightly
Flash install gapps
Reboot
Stuck at CyanogenMod boot screen for hours. (still not working before)
Reboot
Fastboot install the 4.2 bootloader
Reboot
CyanogenMod installed and came up to setup screen and I am now downloading over wifi all the Apps again.
Thanks for attempting to help. I am wondering if the setting the fastboot to the staging just did not get applied 100% until the nightly got installed and with the reboots they may have kicked the bootloader out of the staging section.
I'm running the stock at&t ROM with Android 6. I've successfully unlocked the Bootloader, and have taken S Off (paid SunShine!)
When I boot into Recovery Mode I cannot install from SD without getting a Signature Error. When I attempt to flash TWRP via ADB/Fastboot the bootloader will freeze at prompting the Recovery Mode (only way to overcome is to reflash stock rom).
Any ideas? Was hoping to install LineageOS as I read at&t won't be issuing an OTA for HTC as they've discontinued offering the brand.
Set download mode. Then flash twrp with fastboot command. Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img Should workout just fine.
Nope. Read initial post. After flashing handset hangs when Recovery Mode is selected

Perhaps its the version of TWRP you are trying to install? Maybe you might have to try an older version since your on 6.0....?
Also, I have the same AT&T device (unlocked bootloader, but S-ON) and am curious about installing custom bootloader/ROM on this device.
Let us know if/when your able to solve it!
So, I downloaded the Windroid Toolkit at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499926 but now I can't get passed the HTC boot screen. I installed Lineage OS, did Wipe Dalvik Cache, then installed Gapps. But no desktop after install. HELP!
