I know how to root the phone with the new xploit. Flashing TWRP doesn't seem that hard from all the guides. Do i need to flash a kernal and radio? is it a good idea? and i know you can't flash them from hboot because it got updated with the 2.20 firmware? correct? so do i need to flash those or are the stock ones fine with CM10? if not what are the best to use for CM10 and HOW do you flash them with the 2.20 firmware. thanks!
all you need to do is download cm10 and gapps to your sdcard then use flashimagegui from ur current rom load the cm10 zip and let it flash the boot.img or you can boot into bootloader and "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
reboot into recovery and wipe everything except external then flash cm10 and gapps.
Hello,
If this is not the right place for this please fell free to move it.
Now that more unofficial roms like Cyanogenmod are getting closer to a stable/bug free release I am wondering about a few things.
According to Cyanogenmod's install guide a OLDER Kernel and Bootloader must be flashed in order to get recovery installed and Cyanogenmod running, one would also assume that most other custom roms would require this as well.
3. Flash the aboot.mbn file from VRALEC.bootloader.tar.md5 with Heimdall:
heimdall flash --ABOOT aboot.mbn
4. Flash the older kernel from VRALF2.boot.tar.md5 with Heimdall:
heimdall flash --boot boot.img
5. You should now be able to download and flash recovery:
koush's ClockworkMod Recovery: download
md5sum:3b13219e967fc622c035540107ee5553
heimdall flash --recovery your_recovery_image.img
6. Flash bootloader zipfile via recovery:
Flash the VRALE6.bootloader.zip in recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Choose VRALE6.bootloader.zip
Confirm installation
Reboot

Using this tutorial by invisiblek I obtained Root and Clockworkmod recovery some time ago and have not updated or touched the FW since. I even disabled OTA updates to avoid loosing my root.
In About Device I have:
Android Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version I535VRLF2
Kernel Version 3.0.8
Build number is I535VRALF2
CWM recovery version: 6.0.1.2
Would using the above methods to flash a new bootloader and kernel even be necessary on my phone to get Cyanogenmod running? Besides flashing the phone originally I have done nothing to change or update this stock rom.
The reason I ask is I would rather avoid any potentially phone bricking steps for installation of custom roms if they are unnecessary.
Thanks for the help in advance.
You can easily update your CWM version and bootchain (unlocked), which makes flashing custom kernels and ROMs possible, by via Odin. If that's what you wanted to know? Haha.
Well I was more wondering if I needed to even bother flashing my kernel/bootloader in order to get custom roms to run?

In order to load a custom ROM you'll need to be rooted, have an unlocked boot loader, and a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP installed.
Most custom ROMS are based on a certain firmware. For instance Scott's ROM is based off of the I535VRBMB1 firmware but works with some older firmwares, however, it will not work with the newest firmware I535VRBMF1 (camera doesn't work).
Check this thread for newer firmwares (flashable through recovery) if you want to update yours!

A few questions...is this based off of the stock OTA for the international or developer edition of the M7? And if so, does the AT&T edition (which is what I have) use the same base for their stock ROM? I'm currently on ARHD 71.1 and waiting patiently for an update to 4.4.3, but also am wondering if I should wait for the official OTA from AT&T, so that I can get the firmware meant for my phone, before upgrading to 4.4.3, which is what I did with 4.4.2, before flashing ARHD. Also, do you know if the stock recovery you attached above is the same one that would be on a stock AT&T M7? I've been trying to be careful and only receive the firmwares officially through OTA, before flashing a custom ROM based on a base that's compatible with my M7, but I'm wondering if I'm being too careful. I also have 3 different stock recoveries for my M7, but am not sure which is the most current and for the version of the M7 that I have, in conjunction with the ROM base, or if that matters. Sorry for being so inquisitive.

*is this based off of the stock OTA for the international or developer edition of the M7?
Yes, this is based on Stock WWE firmware.
*And if so, does the AT&T edition (which is what I have) use the same base for their stock ROM?
I am not sure about the base. but yes, AT&T may be using the same base and adding their own features on top of that! or may be HTC make separate software build for that.

What I recommend: wait for the official upgrade from your AT&T carrier so that you don't put yourself in any trap!
Regarding your firmware doubt: No, my attached file was only for new software 6.09.401.5 which is Android 4.4.3
If you want to receive update officially flash the stock recovery from here: HTC One Stock Recoveries

Guys, previously by mistake I posted a recovery for latest firmware: 6.09.401.5, which was latest.
But If you're on Android 4.4.2 then you need recovery for 5.11.401.10(or according to your software version) so that your stock OTA can be flashed.. sorry for inconvenience.
All recoveries are found from here: HTC One Stock Recoveries

Hi Artur,
Could you make a STOCK ROM based on the latest firmware 6.09.401.10 ?
Is there any stock recovery flashable zip for this firmware not fastboot flash able ? And one ore thing, do I need unlocked bootloader for this ? My device is 64 GB non-global version
Uploading for you now, standby.

Thank you very much.one more thing buddy, can you share any link for multirom patched AK kernel for cm 11s as I couldn't find any in specific thread. I would like to dual boot it with Lollipop ROM. Sorry to keep on bothering you
No problems, here you go:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B98G0KTJwnBFM09OTEZ2NnVfekE/edit?usp=docslist_api
You need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery to flash firmware though. And this is only the firmware, not the full OS.
Can't help with the kernel though, sorry.
Transmitted via Bacon
Hello, could I get a link as well?
I'm rooted with Custom Recovery, but I don't want to use fastboot as I'm having some adb driver funkiness.
So this way I can just flash 44S directly from the recovery after performing a Wipe..
I was happy on 1+1 44S and then immediately after OTA update to 05Q, keyboard because super laggy / touchscreen issues. Want to go back in a least painful way. All backed up now.
Thanks ahead of time!

I've never had issues barging into a development community and going out to the horizon of customization until this cellphone. It's been 12 hours of flashing and downloading and flushing and flashing...
I have S-off and unlocked through SunShine
I use the 0P6BIMG.zip to flash RUU back to the stock verizon rom android 4.4.2
I use 3.28.605.4-firmware.zip from the same RUU thread to update the firmware (???)
I want to install CM12 or liquidsmooth ROM, but I'm getting a hunch at this point I need to start with the stock verizon 5.0.1 installed before that because TWRP wants to patch the system file... But then why am I wiping my system before installing?
I also tried flashing FluentRom_v7.5.zip but I got stuck on the HTC initial screen, I don't even make it over to a boot animation.
What do?

I'm prettly sure you're on an older firmware. You need to be on 5.01 to flash the ROMs you have tried to flash. Use the pre-rooted RUU from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473
Also make sure you have the latest version of TWRP.
Edit: The firmware you flashed was 4.4.4

Thanks for the link that thread and your advice was exactly what I needed.
For whatever reason after using the app/exe to flash 5.0.1 stock-rooted, Liquid Rom failed to install in TWRP. I reflashed the stock-rooted rom and CM-12.1 worked flawlessly. So I'm on CM right now :good: but I'll take another look into Liquid rom. Thanks so much!
Since you like AOSP, I recommend visiting the main m8 thread some other Roms. They are unified builds.
