So i have attempted to root my E8 several times using different methods. i currently am able to with the phone get to TWRP and install ROMS but they never boot. I have tried alot of differnt threads and ideas but nothing seems to work and i feel like i am running in circles. So i was wondering if anyone on here could assist me in getting this ROM working. Please let me know if there is anything i can start with to get this working again

Hey there,
I have an interesting problem, and it has completely stumped me for the past couple days. I recently S-Off'd my Sensation, put cwm recovery on it, and set my CID to 11111111.
I haven't had any problems with that (except that I had to change computers to do it, Revolution didn't want to run right on my laptop or set the CID, so I had to use my desktop).
Now the problem comes when I try to flash a custom ROM. The first one I tried flashing was CM7. When it booted, I got a bootloop problem of the CM7 mod logo over and over. I decided maybe it was a problem with CM7 still being in alpha. Then I tried flashing HyperSensation 1.8, and got the same error (bootloop) on the loading screen. After trying various other ROMS, I realized that it was a common problem with all custom ROMS. Luckily I had backed up the stock setup, and was able to get into that. So it's not a problem with the hardware. I have only tried flashing gingerbread ROMS. I know that ICS ROMS need a new firmware, but I dont want to mess with that unless I can actually get a gingerbread ROM working first...
Any ideas? There was a thread or two about this (on other phones) but didn't have any solutions listed..
Thanks for any ideas people can give me!

Hi,
Did you root your phone?
Did you flash the superwipe zip first?
Also are you getting full reboots with HTC splash screen then animation or just the animation looping? Sometimes I have to let mine loop for 5 minutes after first boot of new rom before it settles.

I guess I hadn't done everything.. I didn't factory reset before flashing the new ROM... As soon as I did that it boot right in. That's a bit odd to me, as I didn't have to do that with my last phone.
Anywho, solved.

Fairly new to alot of this...please forgive me. I have scoured forums and cannot find an answer to my problem. I got a new S2 about a month ago and I rooted it no prob. When I tried to install CYM 10 (stable and nightlys) It installed but the wifi and radio are shut off. Found a rooted stock and was using it as it was better than what I had stock on the phone but not being able to do it bothered me. After many posts regarding some of these issues with other phones, I have: Updated my prl and anything else I could update successfully, tried again and same problem. I tried turning on, up, down, and everything else I could do with the settings having no wifi or data and went back to the rooted stock. I flashed a radio update sucessfully and then tried messing with Kernals. Dragonics ROM comes with a new kernal flash among many other things and I tried that, installed sucessfully but still not wifi or radio....I even tried flashing older roms and kernals and still nothing.
As of right now I am back to the rooted stock running stupid themes to make me feel like I did something. I cannot find a direct answer to this regarding my model and that I have not tried. This has become an obsession...I HAVE to make this work. Please Help me.
Again, fairly new here and to forums in general and sorry if I did any of this wrong...
I got my one SV k2_cl from boost a little over a month ago and got the bootloader unlocked and rooted, working fine until one morning it wouldn'tmake calls or texts. I tried to factory reset and when I tried to boot got stuck at the HTC logo. Took me 2 weeks to get it to even flash a Rom on here that will somewhat work. I've got WiFi and partial 3g 4g connectivity but no voice at all. When I try to use the phones its activation tool-error, tried manually programming phone- nothing. I'm stumped. Can someone please help me out here. Don't want to have to buy another phone if I can help it. The only guess I've got at the moment is that if I could get a stock original rom to flash I'd be good to go probably and just hold out on doing anything else to it until after the kitkat ota is launched. The few stock roms I've tried either wouldn't download for some reason or just won't flash right. Thanks in advance for any help guys. I've always been more of a hardware geek more so than software but I can usually muddle through following guides of course.
I'm not much into boost, but did you try to flash the available RUU?

As a matter of fact I have tried that and unfortunetly the installer locked up on a reboot of the phone because the phone wants to do the "Android is upgrading # of #" on every boot. That was why I was thinking since adb/fastboot and the HTC One Toolkit all sorta work that if I could get ahold of a working stock rom to flash on there and I have a stock CWM backup still on my laptop from when I first got the phone rooted and everything working. But of course thanks for the tip anyway. I wish that would work. It seems to be the easiest way to install back to stock.
I'm new to this site, if I'm doing anything noob-esque, let me know.
So I got SunShine, really happy with the purchase on the license because now I can actually use my phone the way I want. That aside, I really wanted to put Android Revolution HD on it because of the HTC Sense-ness incorporated and it seemed like the ROM that would have best suited me. All day I've been tinkering with my phone to get it to work, but no avail. Everytime I reboot after flashing, it just stays on the "HTC One" logo screen. I know you're supposed to wait longer on the first boot, but after waiting several times (twice I waited an hour), it was easy to see something wasn't working. So now I have PAC ROM on there just so I can actually use my phone until I figure out how to do this. PAC ROM works just fine with flashing, so does Cyanogenmod. Even though they are great ROMs, I want ARHD most on my phone. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong, because I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I was running stock 4.4.3 when I went to flash it. That's what it said to have on the guide, which is why I don't understand what the problem is. I tried ViperOne; the same thing happened - stayed on boot logo. But again, Cyanogenmod and PAC ROM flash no problem.
Hopefully one of you brilliant people can tell me this.
I have a common problem in that when I install custom nougat roms, my wifi starts doing the 'internet not available' and connect/disconnect thing.
I have tried all the methods I've found to resolve this but to no avail.
The interesting thing is there is one set of custom roms that work fine for me. Just one, and I have tried most if not all of them.
Of course the stock rom works, rooted or not. But the strange thing is that the Gensys Experience roms all work fine.
So, my question is what is specifically different about those roms thst make them work? I've tried to delve into various config files to try to identify differences and have just ended up hopelessly baffled.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help..
