Non rooted, CWM installed, Cyanogen hangs.

This is killing me!
I used HTCDev on my Sensation and unlocked it. Then I used fastboot to install CWM. It worked fine. I went to recovery, wiped the data/factory reset and also wiped the cache. (Note: when wiping the data, an error did occur that said make_extf4fs failed), somehow I didn't notice that and so I flashed a CyanogenMod 9 on to it. Now Cyanogen just hangs at boot.
What can I do now? Is this because I didn't root it? (I thought being able to install CWM would suffice!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to flash the boot.img using fast boot or install 4 EXT Recovery and enable smatflash. Go have a read here and you should be able to solve you issue.

after flashing cwm did you flash superuser to give you root?

I just did everything in that post and I was able to flash two ROMs (Cyanogen and Android Revolution HD). But both of them had the same problem that made me want to flash the whole thing in the first place!!: The network and the Wifi don't work!
I tried this: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22773-wireless-and-radio-issues-with-70x/ but that didn't help either.

Sorry, my bad. the network works (I hadn't put back the cover then), but the wifi doesn't work!! It just can't detect any access point.

Thank you all. It worked. It turns out that Wifix wasn't able to fix the issue automatically and I had to manually set my country code.

Quick newbiesh question about kernels

Forgive my ignorance, i've tried to do a few searches to answer my question but none have directly addressed it.
I recently rooted 2.20 successfully, installed CleanROM. If I want to flash a kernel, say cleanKERNEL, all I have to do is move the .zip onto the phone, boot into bootloader, and flash it that way? If I flash a kernel, will I loose all the customization I've done on the current ROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm unclear on whether you can flash kernels with the new hboot in 2.20, but if you can, you flash it like anything else. It shouldn't affect the rom as long as they're compatible.

I was under the impression that you would have to use fastboot, not recovery.

Right, I did do that. But now I'm trying to flash a kernel. I have the new CleanKERNEL zip file, but I'm not seeing a boot.img in the zip.So I keep looking for some sort of .img, flash it, move CleanKERNEL zip to my phone, then flash that?
Any help would be appreciated.

Oh right... It builds the boot.img on the fly when it is installed from recovery. I believe you need to try and flash the kernel zip file from recovery. It will fail since you have to 2.20 hboot, but it will create the boot.img in a temp dir somewhere on your phone, which you can copy to your pc and flash via fastboot.

So I have to copy the kernel to my phone, open up recovery, attempt to flash it, it will fail, open up my phone through windows, find the boot.img, manually flash it from fastboot, then go into recovery and flash the kernel??????

Yes, except for the very last step of re-flashing from recovery. I haven't personally tried this since I'm not on AT&T and can flash whatever from recovery, but I've seen this method discussed several times in the Blackout BeastMode custom kernel thread.

Looks like the people in the blackout beastmode thread already have a boot.img for them to use without looking for the one created in the temp file. Unless I can just use the boot.img from cleanROM which I'm already running? Or the kernel requires its on boot.img??

Hmmm... I thought Blackout BeastMode created boot.img on the fly. Perhaps not. The next thread I would direct you to is the CleanROM thread. Or you could try the BeastMode kernel haha. Sorry can't be more help. I just don't have any first-hand experience.
Has anyone else flashed CleanKernel on 2.20 AT&T device?

[Q] one xl bricked need help

I have a one xl cid rogers001 hboot 2.14, baseband 0.23a.3 2.09.29.... jb 4.1 with sense 4+
I tried unlock bootloader by htcdev => ok
install recovery => ok. and when i installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236, it was stuck in bootloader. i fogot root my phone before.
so i relock my device, and tried to flash this stock rom using adb : OTA_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.17.631.2_0.23a.3 2.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_299850qstr7rxdbfuofl 6j.zip (was found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610)
On cmd via fastboot i type fastboot erase cache =>ok
fastboot oem rebootRUU => ok
fastboot flash zip "filename.zip" It says " (remote: 12 signature verify fail") in the end cmd
What should i do now?
Thanks for reading and help me pls!!!!

Ok, first mistake is that you thought you needed to be rooted to flash the Viper ROM, you don't. All you need is an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, which you had. You were probably stuck in the bootloader because you forgot to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip with fastboot, you need to do this because you're s-on.
The next mistake you made was attempting to flash an OTA. I don't know what made you think that you could do that but it definitely wasn't found in this forum (or anywhere for that matter). An OTA is only a partial OS, it relies on the correct stock OS to already be installed on the device to build on top of to update the existing OS. It failed for obvious reasons.
Unlock your bootloader again, flash a custom recovery again, and flash the ROM again. Make sure you flash the boot.img this time and it should boot right up. I'd strongly recommend you read the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature. Diving into modifying your device without the proper level of knowledge is a really bad idea.

Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader at some point? If so you've corrupted your sd card, you should never perform a factory reset from the bootloader. If this is the case you'll need to use TWRP to wipe your sd card, then you should be able to mount it to Windows and use Windows Explorer to format. Once this is done you can for a ROM across again.
Exactly which build of Viper did you try to flash? What's the exact filename? Did you check the md5 before flashing?

yes, i did it more than once, now it's fixed, but when i mount it to Windows using TWRP, nothing happen, so i can't format it. and the same things when i tried to sideload. But in fastboot mode, it usual.
and i flashed the newest rom in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236 ViperXL 4.2 and i didn't check the MD5

Yes, you can flash a custom Rom without root. He already answered that. I strongly recommend reading up on your device before flashing anything else. I'd suggest starting with getting your phone s-off.

I disagree. I think it's a better idea for him to get his head around the simple operations like flashing ROMs before attempting s-off.

Flashing problems

OK guys let me tell you about my issue's
I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.0 (Tried 2.7.0.2 no difference) S-off, Unlocked, latest firmware from Santods files. The phone works fine with Sense ROMS but for the life of me I can't flash a GPE ROM. They fail every time. Santod tried to help me out the best he could by having me replace the Boot.img from the ROM I was flashing thinking that I was on a secure Boot image (And I may be but I replaced it and they still won't flash). Mr. Jaydee82 also modified a ROM for me to try out (although I'm not sure exactly what he did to it) and it wouldn't Flash properly either. When I try to flash these ROMs it will appear to flash properly and then they will go to the bootscreen and just sit there and churn. Depending on the ROM some will time out and power down the device and some will just sit there forever until I do a virtual battery pull. I'm freaking desperate to find out what is going on with this device and I don't feel right bugging Santod so I decided to post this in hope of more ideas about what could possibly be going on with my device. Any and all help greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

I used Firewater I'm able to Flash all of the Sense ROM's not sure if they are considered AOSP. Give me an example of one and I'll try it. I'm not 100% sure if I took the OTA update before I Rooted and S-offed/unlocked the device but I think I did. I Flashed Santods Nobootimg firmware via ADB to be sure I was on the latest firmware. I know my radios were up to date before doing this but I wasn't sure about the FW so I flashed it. Flashed fine, didn't need to flush again, flashed fine first time.

Yeah cm11 is what I'm currently using, it recently had a speakerphone issue but its been fixed since 7/30. The only AOSP ROMs that have incorporated the fix are cm11, liquidsmooth & aokp. Here is the section for all the aosp ROMs they are universal so means 1 zip for all HTC One M8 variants.

[SOLVED]Unlockbootloader{fixered}

I have an issue with my oneplusone, I cannot unlock it any more. I tried various ways via fastboot, even tried to fastboot a temporary recovery. It keeps saying locked and rebooting into simple recovery. Before it enters simple recovery, or now cyanogemod recovery non latest cm11 nightlies it shows a red exclamation mark.
cm11 updates are flashable via the cyanogenmod recovery. Other zips are not as they are not properly signed. There seems to be no way I can put the unlock byte to true.
fastboot flashing the factory image also doesnt work, it keps saying locked. So I cannot flash the unlock/tamper zip anymore.
This started when on latest nightlies, when simple recovery went to cyanogenmod recovery. The update cyanogenmod recovery switch in development apperently doesnt always stick. I think something went wrong there.
rolling back to m8 with simple recovery did not work either
anyone have any ideas?

I had it unchecked in settings to not update recovery when I was trying all this.
the cyanogenmod recovery does not flash unsignes stuff. this is the same recovery as people call simple recovery. In latest nightlies its included. I had checked the update recovery when flashing nightlies of cm11.

ok sorry I rooted and flashed TWRP right out the box and dont play around with that other stuff. I am assuming also that you have tried to fastboot TWRP to flash the zip and it just loops back? there was another user with similar issues I will see what happened with him. But unfortunately I have not seen or heard of any fix other than booting into temporary recovery and flashing zip. You are saying you can not flash anything.

fastbooting twrp or any other recovery just puts me into cyanogenmod recovery, sadly.

If cyanogenmod can only flash signed zips have you tried to sign the tamper zip. I am not familiar with CM recovery on nightlies so I apologize for that

I have a victory.
Now I tried twrp from playstore. didnt work.
Tried flashify from playstore, with the original recovery I was on before things went amuck. It said flash succesful like twrp, didnt trust it. However I tried flashing the zip from the temper/unlock thread. Lo and behold upon reboot a custom recovery screen was shown, flashing a zipfile. Victory!
So even when fastboot was locked status, fastboot didnt succesfully flash anything, booting on temp recovery also failed, flashify fixed it. Lucky me. Guess you can add that to the list

this can be locked
