Got stuck in a bootloop while trying to install a rom.
UPDATE Solved it, so I got it now.

What version of CM are you trying to install exactly? What's the full name of the zip? If it's CM10 not CM10.1 you may just need to downgrade your touchscreen drivers as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863. If it's CM10.1 you shouldn't need to do that.
I would highly recommend installing TWRP 2.6 instead of 2.5.
Are you SOFF? If not try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071. It keeps you from having to fastboot flash the boot.img every time.

Thank you for responding!
This helped thanks!

[Q] Help!! Cant Update OTA 4.2.2 for my One XL !!

I've been running Stock Rom (4.1.1) with Bullet_proof_kernel and TWRP (instead of stock kernel and stock recovery),Recently I was notified on an update to 4.2.2 via OTA. And when I was asked for installing the update package after downloading (424 MB),it simply goes into TWRP,and nothing happens. I tried flashing it through twrp but it doesn't work(I get some errors on it). What if,I flash Stock kernel and stock recovery and then try updating it??If that's possible,Can anyone provide me with a link for downloading them? It would also be great if you suggest an alternate way to update it to 4.2.2 [stock].
Thanks in advance!!

As I've told at least 3 other people in the last couple days: OTAs require stock recovery to install.
Also, I think your bootloader will need to be relocked if you are S-on.
If you are already bootloader unlocked and custom recovery, just install one of the stock (or stockish) Sense 5 ROMs posted in Development. Flash like any other custom ROM.

What version of TWRP?
Going back to stock recovery has been asked so many times, I'm not going to bother answering. Try reading or doing a search.

TWRP 2.5.0.0.And I was trying for it for hours and couldn't find anything on reverting to stock recovery..I downloaded a ROM [stock] Sense 5 4.2.2
and even tried flashing it through recovery but it throws me the same error..

Its been discussed here countless times that TWRP 2.5.0.0 is buggy, and many ROMs will not install with it. Update to 2.6.0.0.
This is probably your main issue. Returning to stock recovery is a poor remedy.

Try downloading GooManager from the Play Market, and update TWRP that way.
I've tried CWM before, but only the official version, not Philz, so I can't comment on that.

Recovery and H-Boot

Hello, first of all I'm a super newbie on this A have a bunch of questions.
-I tried to root my HTC evo 3d 3 or 4 days ago and i did it without any issues. Then installed Cyanogen Mod 10.4 (jellybean) on my device. Now i want to update it to Cyanogen Mod 11. Does it woth it? or should I stay in my current version.
-I read the threat about Cyanogen Mod 11, it seems i need to install TWRP first, my current recovery mod is ClockworkMod v6.0.0.0. Is there anything else before i install TWRP or can I just downlaod it and then install like Clockwork?
My H-Boot is 1.49.9999

Did you flash your recovery via fastboot? Easiest way to flash TWRP 2.7 will be using "flashify" from the play store. it has got a built in feature to download the right recovery for your phone, and automatically flash it after download
May be you just read the (whole) thread about your suggested rom before installing it "blind"

Helo, its me again
I tried the flashify, i was just able to flash TWRP 2.7 on my phone. But i need 2.6.3.0 (or any other recovery with SELinux support)
but cant downlaod it via flashify. So i downloaded it manually and tried to flash by using cmd and fastboot. Then I just get the "too many links" error. Can't fix it, cant find a solution that works on me..

If that doesn't work its getting a little complicated. Means you have to install a <4.4 rom and install 4ext updater (installs 4ext recovery) from plystore and then you ca install >4.4.
Updating HBOOT will not help!

I follow the emulator thing and my dont have sony in it eek:
i always tried to stay away from flash radio and kernel stuff people told me those likely brick phones if done wrongly.
guess i have to do this time now.
so for the kernel it is mentioned in that thread:

For Android 4.2.x, use this link
--> http://tool.anzow.com/Software/tool/...ddi_291212.zip <--
For MIUI v5, use this link
--> http://yadi.sk/d/JZ_4DS4w3t98s <--
which i should i choose if i want to use the CM11 ROM?
or does the kernel is hardware specific that i have to found out more about my phone?
Thanks for your time!

Don't think any of them would work with 4.4. You'll have to stick with Jellybean

Unable to update to 12.1

So today I saw that the 12.1 update is downloaded and asking me to install it. But, when I do try installing it the screen is stuck at the Cyanogen Recovery.
The usual options in recovery screen are displayed, why isn't the OS updating?
FYI - My OPO is rooted and also has TWRP recovery installed. I also tried disabling the Update Cyanogen Recovery option but the same option.
Any assistance would be great

You can't flash the OTA with TWRP recovery. You can either flash the stock recovery and then install the OTA, or you can download the full ROM zip and flash that with TWRP.
