Phone resets and Force closes - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I installed the ViperRom and it worked great for a few months and then it just started resetting and erasing all my settings. This happened 2 or three times a week. In recovery I did a factory reset and installed CleanRom and now most of my apps force close and it happens both in dalvik and art. I ran permission fix but that did nothing. I did a factory reset again and installed a stock rooted rom and still have the same issues with apps force closing on me. The apps in break, google maps, google calendar and some other random apps. I have the bootloader unlocked with TWRP recovery.

Did you make sure you wiped system and data?

I would do a compelete Data wipe and sideload the ROM.

+1 on this. Backup your internal memory, format everything in TWRP, reboot back into TWRP, then sideload the ROM.
There's always a little something left behind when wiping. (Get you minds or of the gutter...)

In your place I would RUU back to stock, full boot and then a factory reset from stock recovery. I had an issue with htc droid dna where it couldn't connect to 3g data, at that time I flashed every available rom, radio and kernel trying to fix it, I wiped several times from custom recovery. It got only fixed flashing a stock rom along with stock recovery and then factory reset.

Thanks for the replies. I wiped everything last night. The phone had nothing on it. I reflashed stock rooted rom. I still have the same issue. I will try the flashing the RUU and go from there.

I wiped everything again and flashed the nV rom. Everything seems to be working fine now.

[Q] Unable to launch CM 10.1 after flashing the gapps

Hello everyone,
I flashed CM10.1 and the gapps (gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip).
When I boot the phone it lets me enter my pin code, but after that I get those two messages:
"Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps ended."
"Unfortunately the process setup wizard ended."
And I only may click on "ok" ever and ever and ever again.
The only way to get unstuck from this is to remove the battery and restore the phone.
I flashed many times with different builds and different gapps packages too, I ever get the same issue.
I also did it with and without wiping everything.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your time.

Did you wipe data/cache completely?

Wipe again, flash CM again, reboot, recovery, flash Gapps, reboot. Must works
I tried again many times and I had the same bugs.
But since this afternoon I used TWRP instead of CWM and now it just works perfect.
I'm sure the issue came from CWM.
Hey guys, I am new to the forum. I am glad I found this thread, I keep running into this same problem.
I have been flashing CM 10.1.2 with what I think is the wrong Gapps flash, gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip. That is the wrong Gapps flash, right?
If that is the wrong .zip, how should I restore back to my Titanium back up from recovery?
this is the correct gapps for 4.2.2 20130301

[Q] strange install issue

ive been running into a strange issue installing roms lately. I can install anything touchwiz no problem and they run great. but for some odd reason if I install any of the numerous aosp roms the just hang on first boot. ive tried almost every aosp there is and they all sit there and hang, ive even let a few sit for hours with no luck. yet touchwiz will boot fine in just a few minutes. anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
Have u done a clean wipe factory reset wipe delvk catche.. Wipe everything clean.. Some stuff from the tw roms could stay behind.. Wen ppl change from aosp rom to a tw rom they use synergy rom cuz it does a clean install .. I could be wrong about this
Just be sure to wipe data/cache. The ROM zip install erases system for u.

Erasing data problem
I have unrooted Verizon S3.
It was working ok until I decided to put some new ROM. I instaled Synergy S3 r420 rom. It worked OK, but did not have mobile internet. WiFi and mobile hotspot were working fine. I decided to put back my old system, not to mess around any more, and went into CWM mode.
After entering CWM I tried wipe out/factory reset but it stacked at Formatting /data
Previous formating of cache and wiping of Dalvik went OK.
Part of the message was E:unknown volume for path [sd/ext]
What di I done with my phone? Is it soft bricked or what?
I can still boot last ROM, and is functional
How can I return my phone to the state saved in my CWM backup ?
Thanks!
EDIT
I have tryed to instal a different ROM - Hyperdrive, and install went normaly. At the end asked me to reboot and I said OK. Then, upon rebooting, a Warning message appeared warning me that non Verizon softvare is detected and that I should take the phone to them.
Is there anything to do to reverse this state?
You need to use odin to restore stock

[Q] Accidentally wiped system, how to revert back to stock without losing root?

So i accidentally wiped the system using twrp. But i got it to work by using a usb flash drive n flashing a custom rom from there (paranoif android) And now ive been getting random reboots and crashes. I also flashed franco kernel. Also some system apps will not work properly, such as the calendar app. And i was thinking maybe thats because i wiped the system. Now i want to revert back to stock kikat without losing my root and unlocked bootloader. Im quite new to flashing roms and i find it easy using twrp. So how do i go about reverting back to stock, to see if those random crashes and reboots will go away?

Try re-flashing another rom, as PA is a beta ROM, and thats where you may be having your crashed apps

You can always flash the factory images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
You can flash any ROM and that should fix your issue
You will not lose your unlocked bootloader unless you flash the stock one which is in the factory images
Your bootloader will not relock unless you lock it yourself using fastboot. Flashing roms or factory images won't lock it by themselves.
And even if it somehow did, one fastboot command and you're unlocked again.
And as far as root goes....it takes 5 minutes to reroot.
So just flash whatever factory image you need and then custom recovery, and you're done. Maybe need to download superSU from play store after.

So i just flashed purity rom, and im still having the same issues, but the crashes and reboots are less yet their still there. Maybe reverting back to stock rom will do the trick?

The crashes and reboots are because you didn't wipe data/factory reset and also didn't wipe dalvic/cache...
If you're keen on using a custom rom follow these steps:
1. Head over to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvic/cache
2. Flash rom.zip and gapps.zip
3. Reboot!
Initial boot can take upto 10 minutes sometimes so be patient...
If you want to go fully stock then follow this thread:

Sorry if i did not include this on the op, but everytime i were to flash a rom or gapps i would wipe data/factory and dalvic/cache, since i had those issues i even wipe internal memory just to see if the problems were there.

Maybe your flashing a bad version of GApps since the force closes are on google Calander?
Are you using a 4.4.2 GApps?
Im on cataclysm now, and i believe no gapps needed since their included in the zip. Have had about 3 reboots, i believe their because of playstore downloading an update or something, and one caused by either bluetooth or hello messaging app. But who knows. Just one more thing, by me accidentally wiping the system shouldnt be the cause of my random crashes and reboots?

Why don`t you backup your user apps and data with TB and start fresh by flashing the stock image, reroot and reflash a custom rom in recovery. This will eliminate all errors and reboots.

Yes, just flash the factory image (flash-all.batt) in fastboot, reboot and setup the phone. Flash a custom recovery and flash the superSU.zip (1.94 is the latest).

[Q] Problem switching ROM

I've got viper one rom and I'm trying to install android revolution hd. I checked the md5 and installed it with TWRP, but when the phone boots and the setup begins the first thing that appears is viper tweaks (from the viper one rom) requesting root access. Once the setup is finished a message appears saying "blinkfeed has stopped working" and then I can do absolutely nothing except power off the phone.
Shouldn't viper be removed when I wipe in TWRP?
Anyone have any idea wtf is going on?
I went from nV RLS 1.1 to RLS 2, clean flash in TWRP. When it booted my same setup was on the screen with everything force closing. I went back into TWRP attempted again, and it was still messed up. Tried to restore a backup, it failed, then TWRP started crashing. I could only get into fastboot.
Anyways, you can read my post in this section. I had to go back to stock, then restore a nandroid.

I actually just downloaded and installed nV RLS 2 with no problems at all.. My problem may related to the Android Revolution HD rom itself.. I'll have try to figure it out another time.
Thanks for your help!
For anyone who's interested I was able to successfully install ARHD to my phone after doing some research. Rather than just doing the standard wipe in TWRP (it wipes delvik, cache, and data) I had to selected "advanced wipe" and wipe system in addition to delvik, cache, and data. I believe this had to do with the htc build version on the phone being outdated but I'm not 100% sure.

+1. I always use advanced wipe in TWRP, and wipe as you indicated. I'm thinking everyone posting here should also indicate which version of TWRP you are using, as that may be an issue as well.

Is clean flash really clean?

I have been using custom roms for guite a long time now. I have flashed several different roms and several flashable apps and mods without any major problems.
Until today. I flashed one camera app on top of another. The result was "com.android.phone has stopped".
1. So I first tried to uninstall that app with Rom Toolbox. Didn't help.
2. Then I cleared data and cache from Phone services. Didn't help.
3. Then I booted to recovery and wiped cache. No help.
4. Then I made factory reset, i.e. clean flash of my current rom. That did not help either! Still com.android.phone FC.
Seems that clean flash had still left something somewhere that caused the FC.
5. So I had to wipe EVERYTHING and flash and install and copy and restore all apps and data back to phone. Several hours of a job.
Yep, wiping everything is clean flash, or wipe everything but internal storage (if still problems, delete . Android folder beforehand).

A factory reset isn't a clean flash. A clean flash is wipe system, data, dalvik/art cache. You have flashed the camera app to your system partition, so you have to wipe /system in twrp too (together with /data and /cache if you want to make a clean flash). But in your case it should be enough to wipe system and then reflash your Rom to get rid of your issue

OK, thanks. Maybe in my step 4 above I thought that factory reset was enough but I didn't notice that it does not wipe system. So I went too far and wiped all my data, too.
But earlier when I have flashed different roms and they always tell that you must do clean flash, I didn't wipe system. So I thought clean flash was just factory reset. Still those different roms were working ok. Next time I try to remember wipe system also.
