I'm starting to experience lagginess in my HTC One M8. I thought I had remembered reading that every once in a while it was a good idea to RUU back to stock and then start fresh with whatever ROM I decide on, is this the case? If so is this the link to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zip-ruu-m8vzw-5-0-1-s-off-onlynewest-t3047103 ? Just download the file, rename, flash in H-Boot, start the ROM, download Flashify and install newest TWRP, and then go from there?
Thanks in Advance.

Never read needing to RUU every so often. Do you do full wipes when you flash? You are correct on the method.

I do the advance wipe with all the top ones and every once in a while I do internal. If I remember it's Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, System and Internal.

I followed the Inspired ace hack kit, all went well. I chose to flash the att-inspire-rooted-signed.zip ROM. My GPS was not working, so I put the inspired-dhd-afr003-signed.zip ROM on my sd card, flashed it, and now mail and gmail force quite. But my GPS works! haha. Well, need the mail, haven't tried going back to the first ROM yet. Any ideas on how to fix this, or why it happened in the first place?
Thanks,
Scott
UPDATE: Went back to the att-inspire-rooted-signed ROM and it mail/gmail works fine. Gussing no GPS though.
I would like the GPS to be functional, any ideas?

I had no issues with gps not working, sorry.

The other rom will work but, you need to do a data factory rest, wipe card partition, and wipe the dalvik cache before flashing.

I haven't flashed it myself, but everyone's saying GTG's rooted stock ROM has everything working perfectly. You flash it through HBoot and it does a data factory reset - you may still want to wipe card partition and wipe the dalvik cache first
Noob here so I don't know all the terms. Any links to the steps I need to take prior to flashing a new Rom? I know how to use hboot.

If you download the zip in the thread I linked to and put it on your SD card, then start HBoot, it will automatically do a factory data wipe and install the ROM. There are instructions in that thread.
I don't know if this also wipes card partition and dalvik cache, but to do this you boot into cwm recovery (if you have clockwork mod installed you just select recovery from the HBoot menu) and deleting card partition is an option in here, i think dalvik cache is in Advanced
Ok, thanks for the help. I do have the Clockwork mod. So I go to hboot like I am going to load the new ROM, but first delete the partition and clear the dalvik cache correct? Then I can load the new ROM?
I didn't do this when I flashed the second ROM. What data will I lose when I delete the partition and clear the dalvik? When I just flashed the ROM I didn't lose anything. The phone is new, so not much on it, but I didn't lose any of my mail or mail settings, and didn't loose my contacts. I can get both back, just a pain to set it all up again.
Thanks so much for the help.

hi all,
Ok, I'm new to this stuff.
1. used the simple root and it worked great.
2. I then flashed CM7 and it worked great except market was not on it.
3. I downloaded and flashed gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip by mistake, not realizing I had to use another gapps.
4. After I flashed it, the cm7 and android setup screens kept cycling between each other.
5. I restored to clockworkmod (sp) and then deleted the gapps and tried to then flash cm7. It didn't cycle between cm7 and android setup, but the cm7 screens kept cycling and never got past that.
6. I thought perhaps it was just cm7 now, so I tried miui and it's doing the same thing. It's cycling between the gingerbread man and MIUI with the status bar and won't do anything else.
Very frustrated. what have I done and how do I fix it?
Thanks folks,
Brett
I believe that those ROMs both require ENG S-OFF. Open simple root on your computer, click Fixes, then apply the fix there. Also, did you make sure you cleared your Dalvik cache before flashing? Always do a factory reset AND clear dalvik cache when changing ROMs.
make sure you have wifi off in your first boot

Hi. Thanks.
I use rom manager to boot to recovery. Then I install zip from sd card. I go through the process until it says reboot. It's when I reboot that I get stuck in the bootloop. It just cycles from the CM7 circular arrow to blank and then to the arrow thing again. MIUI does the same between the gingerbread guy and the status bar and back.
I then take the battery out, take out the sdcard, down volume & power, reinsert sdcard and do a restore so I can use my phone again in clockworkmod 3.0.0.6.
thanks,
brett

it's weird. I restored a few times, did the above you suggested, and still in a loop. The first time I installed CM7 it was great, then the gapps thing seems to have screwed it up.

Probably a silly question but you're doing full reinstalls, right? Not using a nandroid backup? I can't think of any reason that you should be boot looping permanently from flashing the gapps if you're going into clockwork, doing a factory reset, wiping the cache, then wiping the Dalvik cache, then flashing the ROM.

hmm. I'm a little new to this, but I'm using the backup/restore option in recovery mode and am then flashing one of the backups. Could that be the problem?
If it is, how do I do a full reinstall?

That's your problem right there. If you make a backup of a busted ROM, its still going to be busted when you restore it.
Do the factory reset, then clear the cache again just to make sure, go to advanced and clear Dalvik, then go to the main menu and use the choose install zip from sdcard option, then choose "choose zip from sdcard", find the ROM zip file and select it, then say yes to the flash and reboot when its done. If you are flashing CM7, make sure that you flash the correct gapps package after you flash the ROM or the ROM won't be very useful.

I'll give it a shot and then get back to you.
I do believe, however, that the restore I'm doing is the backup I did right before I did the original cm7 flash. I'll try.
thanks!
If you toggle wifi on after the first boot it goes into a bootloop. This is a know bug not a hunch.

Choose the latest/newest zip file..
Well I assume you know how to flash ROM via Recovery Mode. And well, just reminding if you come from another ROM, you have to do full wipe (wipe data, cache and dalvik cache). Good luck..

Hello XDA community,
I've rooted my HTC One X+ like 2 months ago.
I still got the latest stock ROM but I want to put a custom ROM on it.
Which is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987885
I still got some questions about it since it will be the first time flashing a ROM, because the thread isn't really clear to me so I hope someone can help me out with a little bit more detailed guide than mentioned in the ROM thread.
1. Do I have to wipe all my data?
2. Is a dalvik wipe really needed?
I contacted the developer of the ROM he said I didn't have to but when I asked more things about it he didn't reply.
3. How to flash a boot.img?
I can't find a really good tutorial on that.
4. What's the really right order to perform this flash mentioned in above linked thread?
I hope anyone of you can help me out since most of the threads I've seen around people are *****ing about: you shouldn't do it if you don't know what you are doing blablabla.
Since I really want to learn something about it too.

FULL WIPE is clearly recommended when you want to flash another rom. That means (/boot) /system /data /cache /dalvik. You can try it without a FULL WIPE but that will causes errors in most cases.
You need a working HTC USB cable
You need working adb/fastboot, download it from here
You need latest HTC drivers, download it from here
You need a GOOD custom recovery, download it from here
Additionally you need a flashable rom + boot.img
When you got all these we can proceed with flashing a rom

Hello LS.xD,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not at home at the moment.
I will be in about 4.5 or 5 hours, so I will download everything then.
I got the recovery flashed already, so I can probably skip that.
My HTC drivers are probably outdated.
Since my HTC desktop programm had to update the last time I opened it.
And I downloaded the files of the ROM too.
Sent from my HOX+
By the way LS.xD,
I got 'CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.2'. (That's what it says in the top when I am in recovery mode)
I got three wipe options:
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
These are all the wipes I got to perform AFTER installing the zip right? Because if you do it before you will wipe the zip file, is that right?

Its for a reason i recommended the recovery in my post. Pls install and THEN we can go on
and NO you first perform the wipe and then install a rom.
and pls uninstall HTC sync before using fastboot to flash boot.img as it will cause errors if you have htc sync installed.

Thats totally safe as long as you dont WIPE or FORMAT /sdcard LOL
Probably a dumb question, but if you do a factory reset your music and pictures will be deleted, why doesn't the zip file be deleted? I will test it at home though. Factory reset, put the zip file on it, then factory reset again in recovery and look if the zip file still exists on my phone.

Question for you or others... Do I need to wipe internal storage to flash stock? Or am I ok with wiping system, cache, dalvik and data, and flashing ROM and not have to worry about any old files being left behind? I ask because I did the second one and agent into file manager and got rid of anything that looked old, but still saw in the images and video files like 24 and 8 kbs. Should I worry about that even if I open it up and there's nothing there???

If you flash from fastboot and include userdata_64.img then everything will be erased. If you want to be sure then wipe data,internal and system before reflashing stock.
