Ok please bare with me I'm new to the rooting scene. Ok, so as some of you may know there's a new update (6.10.531.10 - something about audio issues). So, I keep getting the notification to update and I've been trying to update for a while. Now, my phone (HTC One T-mobile) is rooted and every time I tried updating it would take me to the TeamWIN reboot thing (I don't know what to call that). So, I did some research and it turns out I had to install a stock recovery, update, then reinstall my custom recovery. So, I did install a custom recovery and everything is fine (not sure If it was, but my CID is TMOB010, something like that). However, the problem occurs everytime I press install it reboots fine and it goes into the green triangle downloading, then it goes all the way or close to it and it switches to a Red Triangle With an Exclamation Mark, and theres nothing I can do from there. The only thing I can do from there is hold the power button and wait for it to restart and it goes back to normal, and the cycle repeats again. Can someone please help me?
Edit: I do have S-ON if that makes any difference.

I have the HTC Magic/MyTouch 3g and ran into a problem some time after rooting (perhaps as soon as I rooted, I'm not completely sure) where my phone would no longer mount properly when connected via USB to a computer. I think it had something to do with the tethering functionality... in any case, I wanted to verify with certainty that the problem was software and not hardware, so I returned to vanilla using the unlockr's approach as outlined here: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/ I'd done the same when initially rooting my phone and it worked fine. Once back to vanilla, my phone would again mount fine when connected over USB. So now I would like to reroot my phone and install the latest cyanogen build, but now every time I try to enter recovery mode via holding home and power on boot, I get stuck on a screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle.
I've repeatedly reapplied the sappimg.nbh file, downloaded a new one to make sure it wasn't a corrupted, updated to 1.6 to see if that would resolve it, etc. But no go... I've poked around online but haven't seen any clear answer to this problem.
Any ideas??
wow.... I can't believe I'm such an idiot. Got a reply on another forum. In case any one should stumble on this in the future: hit home and power when on that screen and it will open up the normal recovery mode screen where you can go ahead normally.
Has bought from the USA of HTC Inspite 4g (AT&T). Wanted to receive Root, S-OFF, Rom manager with ClockworkMod. Has started to do to change an insertion. Has received goldcard. After an overload phone has started to change an insertion. This process proceeded 2 hours (in the end of process there was a black screen). I have decided to overload phone. Has stopped process. After that problems have begun. Root, S-OFF, Clockworkmod I have received. But after reboot of phone it does not work about 10 minutes. 5 minutes at it absolutely black screen, then the white screen with an inscription of HTC simultaneously work 3 minutes the motor, loading of 2 minutes then begins. Process of switching-on or reboot of phone proceeds 10 minutes. Tried to replace an insertion once again. After that changes nothing. Did before setting of an insertion full surep wipe. It has not helped. I still have a problem. I want to enter into engineering menu HBOOT. I push down+power. I wait for 5 minutes (phone so is overloaded). I enter in HBOOT, but thus buttons (volume up and down, power) any more do not work. As to me to receive normal phone. I can not HBOOT make in it recovery. Where to me to take for HTC INspire 4G (AT&T) PD98IMG.zip. Also help me with the instruction. How to apply this file in RECOVERY.
I'm having a hard time with your English (or is it just fed into google translate?).
It looks like you installed the ENG hboot on a later model device that is incompatible.
You need to get it to boot (it will eventually) and put the newer hboot back on it. You can do this through ADB from a console. Here are the instructions:

I had a hard time with his English too, but I understand exactly what he is saying because I did the same thing. I will try to re-explain it and hopefully someone can help us out.
In a nutshell, it sounds like we both flashed an Engineering HBoot starting with a stock US ATT Inspire 4G that came with Gingerbread. Specifically, what I did was I followed a guide on Cyanogenmod's wiki for the Inspire 4G which gave direction to downgrade to Froyo, root, and setup to use eng hboot. This apparently was a huge mistake. After the downgrade, when rebooting or powering on the phone, nothing would happen for a long time (black screen for 5 - 10 minutes, i.e. phone was off), then, screen would turn on with white background and HTC logo and phone would vibrate non-stop for several minutes, and eventually, phone would turn on. After the downgrade and making it to the home screen, I copied CM7 zip on to the SD card and rebooted into recovery via adb. Same exact weird process happened with phone being off for several minutes, then vibrating, then eventually i made it to cwm recovery. After installing CM7 and rebooting, same crazy startup process and made it into CM7 home screen.
I was hoping once CM7 was installed that the crazy startup process would disappear but it didn't. I saw afterwards in a CM forum that this happened to someone else and they had asked if the wiki could be updated to point to the Ace hack kit guide to rooting the Inspire 4g (which mentions that eng hboot shouldn't be used with the phone I had as configured). I then rebooted into bootloader via adb and after crazy startup and fastboot did not work at all (fastboot devices returned nothing). Further still, no buttons work in hboot at all (Vol Up, Vol Down, Power).
At this point, I could still get into the phone, but I wanted to try to undo everything I did and start over using the Ace hack kit. I then tried to use the Ace hack kit to unroot the phone by using the ATT GB RUU. The process seemed to go pretty far, but after a reboot, the phone never came back, and that's where I am currently. If I start the phone, it does crazy startup but never fully boots...stays on white HTC screen forever...which means I can't use adb (to my knowledge). I was able to get to hboot by putting elastics around volume down button and waiting a very long time, but it looks like hboot is still the eng hboot because none of the buttons work and I can't use fastboot. I was hoping that as part of RUU flashing that hboot would be restored to original one. I put the RUU (PD98IMG.img) on SD card, but again I can't get to it because buttons don't work.
So, it sounds like spv4 above is in a very similar boat. I have no idea what else to try. Only thing I can think of is if it's possible to somehow modify an RUU to start automatically when getting to hboot without any user input.
If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than willing to try anything. Thanks very much.
EDIT: So, as I was typing this post earlier, I had been "sitting" in hboot the whole time. When I was done, I looked at phone and PD98IMG.zip was been applied to phone automatically! Don't know if this was common knowledge or not, but everything updated OK. When it was done, hitting the power button to reboot didn't work, but I just removed battery and when putting it back in, phone booted normally back to what looks like stock RUU. Hopefully this info helps someone else.

Great! Glad you got it back, but you could have saved a lot of time.
The main problem is that the ENG hboot (or pre-GB hboots) doesn't recognize something in the hardware of the new phones. The end result is that the hboot runs at about 50x slower. It eventually gets booted, and once booted to an OS (either the main OS or the recovery OS) it runs fine since hboot has exited and passed control to the OS. So anytime hboot is in control, things crawl at a snail's pace.
Because the OS runs fine and hboot has exited, it is possible to overwrite the hboot partition from the booted OS. That's what you are doing in the instructions that I posted a few posts back. Once the correct hboot is installed, all is fine.
I agree that someone needs to update the cyanogenmod wiki. It's way out of date.
I'm currently experiencing the same problem.
I followed the instructions on how to downgrade using a goldcard, successfully rooted and i also flashed TrickDroid on it, but every time i turn the device on i have to hold the power button for 20 seconds and wait 10 minutes till the HTC logo appears, then it takes 2 minutes vibrating and i seriously can't deal with this.
can you please tell me how to fix this?

Hey guys, been searching the net for a fix but haven't had any luck finding a solution.
Here is the problem
I have the HTC Sensation. Have previously S-Off, Rooted and installed the Android Revolution HD <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849>
Everything was great for a while till I had to take the phone into the repair centre to check why signal strength was so low....... so I restored the original factory vodafone ROM RUU_Pyramid_Voda-Hutch_AU_1.45.862.3_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_220002_signed <http://downloadforeveryone.com/search.html?type=all&search=ruu+pyramid>
Up till here, everything was fine. Phone was checked and given back to me.
Tried going into recovery to install the Revolution HD ROM again...... but comes up with an Exclamation mark in a red triangle.
I have SuperUser installed on the ROM.
installed ROM Manager from the market place, but when I start it, it says the phone isnt Rooted. Dont know how to root without the Recovery
Anyone have any ideas ? (useful ones)

after a lot more digging around, i found the following thread which seemed to help
Hopefully it helps others out as well

I should mention... I used method B
This normally happend when you try to apply an OTA update with a custom recovery
The red triangle with exclamation isn't an error or problem or anything, it's what the stock recovery looks like!
At this screen, press Volume Up + Power, and you get the menu.
u have to re root your device, and reinstall custom recovery
I have an HTC One V. I successfully unlocked the bootloader without problems.
But I tried rooting it, and after clicking install my phone rebooted and came to the HTC logo screen, where it has red writing underneath that says
"This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission ..."
It would not start up, so I had to hold the power button down and manually restart it. Then it started up normally, but is NOT rooted.
I also tried installing the CWM, and got the same logo screen with red writing.
What can I do? I have searched the internet and cannot find a solution.
The screen does not go away until I manualy restart.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, my problem is still unsolved.
I tried to update my HTC One [m7] unlocked/international to the new Android Lollipop with the OTA update that got pushed yesterday. However, it keeps failing. My HTC is rooted, and is currently running 6.12.161.9 (trying to update to 7.18.616.2). It is S-ON and has an hboot 1.57. Now, the problem keeps appearing in the following way.(I installed stock recovery of 6.12.161.9 :crying:version) The phone starts the update process normally. It goes to the recovery and the progress bar starts to move. However as soon as it reaches about 1/4 of its way (always the same), it stops the installation and returns to the recovery title screen (the red triangle and exclamation mark). When I then press volume up and power button to see the recovery menu, it gives me the following readout at the bottom on the console:
Code:
"/system/lib/modules/ansi_cprng.ko" has unexpected contents
What i have to do now....?
Am i going correct..?:crying:
