Well first I would recommend you update recovery to TWRP

2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7

or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul

since they are more compatible when flashing 4.4 ROMs (make sure to check MD5 on the files, that site doesn't play nice with download managers!)

[B]fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader[/B]

-> enter recovery

Second, in TWRP, make a nandroid backup, you may need it later ;) *** (please check below)

Third, put a ROM on the phone (in custom recovery):

C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HT34xxxxxxxx recovery <- you need to be in recovery

[B]adb push <name of rom>.zip /sdcard/[/B] <- this will take about 5 mins without any progress

and install the ROM, don't select WIPE during installation, and you should have your million $ question solved... all apps, data, etc should be there, but if you get apps crashing it's because of the "dirty-flash"

As to which ROMs you can use for the above procedure, there's is a 100% stock version of 4.19.401.9 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2224752

I'm personally using ARHD 52.0 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183023 (stock but with improvements, and rooted)

I haven't checked if there's a 100% stock 4.20.707.6 ROM around, so you could do some googling and see.

Hope that helps

*** once you've done the backup, you can try wiping "data, cache, dalvik", and then restore the nandroid... sometimes that works

if not keep the nandroid, as it has all the information, and you can use Nandroid Manager (in play store) to extract individual information, if need be.

Good Luck

[MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] - ok thanks: i found the rom here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/htcone/files/4.20.707.6_stock_odexed.zip/stats/timeline

question: should i take odexed or deodexed rom ?

to install do have to go to recovery and press on the install zip button thing?

well i could use TiBa just like last time if i wanted to restore the backup but what should this solve?

I mean, i backup, then install the rom, then it should boot properly.

after that you mean to do the wipes from recovery (at that point the data should be empty) and then restore them with TiBa?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
I meant the following (all within TWRP, without rebooting):

1- do a nandroid backup,

2- then wipe cache+dalvik+data

3- then restore nandroid , no need for TiBu, it will restore restore everything

4- then wipe cache + dalvik only (not data this time!!)

5- reboot to system

sometimes this solves "something stuck" in /system

but will restore everything as it was before... and maybe solve the stuck bootup

Yes install in recovery.

the 100% stock ROMs are odexed so go ahead with odexed version. (but both will work fine, deodexed will just take a bit longer on the 1st boot after install)

[MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION]

i think it broke it.... !

after flashing the rom it started installing and at the end i saw the last line of the log giving an error (it was too fast for me to read) before it rebooted on its own.

on reboot now it's stuck on the white htc quietly brilliant logo , and won't even reach the next screen (the one with the red beats audio).... !!!!

fastboot and recovery still work tho.... not sure if i should try the "wipe cache+dalvik+data" now .... but flashing the rom definitely didn't work
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
have you made sure it's not a bad download?

and have you tried the backup/restore method i mentioned before? (obviously you need to have done the backup before flashing the rom)

and where's the original thread to that ROM you mentioned?

PS: take it easy, no time to panic!!! panic = bad!!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
it shouldn't be ?

the backup i had backuped. hope it's still there...

now i will try that and then if i lose everything then it seems to me that it's already lost.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Well if the nandroid method doesnt work, I recommend you download ARHD 52.0, install it WITHOUT wiping (during the installer), then use TiBu to backup your stuff and copy them to PC, then go ahead with whatever ROM you want.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
ok i'm trying all these things. in the meantime that the backup restore is taking a long time, if it doesnt work i'll load the ARHD and do install zip .

after that, let's assume the phone starts up correctly.

at that point i will just install TiBu to do copy what on the PC?

and then how do i exactly go back to my previous rom (let's say the one i had this morning) ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
You need to slow down mate!!

The nandroid backup should be the one BEFORE you tried to install whatever ROM it was you tried installing, otherwise don't bother restoring it, just keep it in case Nandroid Manager can get apps+data from it.

if you install AHRD without wiping user data, (and assuming you had TiBu already installed), then it will still be on the phone.

I'm downloading the 4.20.707.6_stock_odexed.zip and will take a look, but it's gonna take me at least an hour or so to get the download...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
1 - yes the backup belonged to before i attempted to flash the other rom. now it's finished restoring the data... the htc one beats audio screen is there again. but it doesn't go past that. seems that the method didn't work. i think there's no other way now than flashing a rom.

2 - guess i'll figure it out when and if i get there.

3- ok thanks. due to timezones, i'll be off now. after you check out that rom please leave written here or on PM what you found and how to use it.

since now i'm back to square1, let me know if you think that rom (that didn't work just now) is viable or i have to stick to ARHD. i'll complete your final instructions on my return!

i'm still confused on what exactly i should copy on my PC with TiBu after i manage to use it.

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
okay, i'll post later (probably), or tomorrow... i'm off in a while too...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
[MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] .so i tried doing the backup -> wiping fac reset -> restarting BEFORE restore, and it still doesnt work. it sounds like something's really messed up.

now i did:

- flash ARHD rom BEFORE restore: result -> stuck at the same beats audio screen

- restore backup and THEN flash ARHD: result -> stuck at the same beats audio screen

what's your conclusion and next plan ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
hmm, well just to let you know, i tried that ROM you linked earlier, did the following:

in TWRP 2.6.3.3

1- wipe dalvik+cache+data

3- install zip

4- wipe cache/dalvik -> reboot -> no su -> no don't bother (i'm just testing)

So back to your case,

1- have you tried flashing ARHD 52.0 using WIPE (ie "Wipe the userdata partition") during the installation?

2- you may have a corrupt data partition, which needs to be formatted; do you have any information on "internal storage" that needs to be backup up (pictures, music, etc)?

3- do you have an OTG cable?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
0 - which means that the rom is good to be used yes?

1 - not yet. will do now.

2 - i just backed em up with the tools i used last time (one to pull the twrp nandroid backup and the other one to pull all sd).

3 - no i dont.

what's next ?

update of #1 above: the phone remains stuck at the usual point even after installing ARHD rom WITH WIPE.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
so you've pulled everything from phone to PC, then try installing ARHD and selecting "Wipe userdata partition" during the installer, let's see how far that goes... remember that the first boot can take up to 15 minutes.

(also for ARHD 52.0 you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 or .4, other recoveries will likely not work)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
everything's pulled on PC yeah.

update of #1 above: the phone starts after installing ARHD rom WITH WIPE.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1st boot can take up to 15 minutes, you need to wait a little longer, usually after about 3 to 4 minutes (or so), you would notice a change in screen brightness, if it does then it's not stuck.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
sorry i had update my previous thread. ARHD works after about 7 mins "load".

how to "go back" now ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
i think you're going to have to live with the fact, that you won't be able to restore your apps+data and settings, seems something (an app or setting) must have been "bad" causing the bootup to to work.

(Maybe HTC Backup and/or any old TiBu's you have could at least partially restore some information... but later)

For now, let's play it safe, and check your data partition, please reboot back to recovery, and do the following:

[B]adb shell

umount /data

umount /sdcard

e2fsck -n -v -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p37[/B]

copy/paste the output, just to make sure everything is OK.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomA:
ok, since i have everything backup'd now i won't mind wiping the hell out of it and avoid any further problems

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
everything looks good, no need to format,

go ahead and install 4.20.707.6 stock you wanted (since it doesn't automatically wipe, you need to do it yourself as i mentioned previously)

check if the file is OK, MD5 should be: 6A4AEE254ED7AC32EAF9292D72D9E2D3

your internal storage will remain intact, but settings and apps+data will be gone, you either need to use HTC Backup or TiBu (or whatever method you usually use) to restore the things that can be restored, and manually setup the rest.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elestudiante:
Hi guys, im buying a new mid-range phone and i'm deciding between the better two: Moto G and Xperia SP.

I really like the Moto G, but what i like the best is the screen, gorgeous, nice constrast and saturation. Black is pretty deep. Also i like its bloat-free, and running Kitkat is a breeze.

On the other hand there is the Xperia SP, while a little heavier than MotoG, is more or less the same phone. Features the newer 1.7 s4 pro (same as S4 Mini, another phone i considered but discarded for being too expensive for what it is), but what i think is the biggest advantage from the MotoG is the camera, 8MP and it is Sony. The screen, i think the MotoG's better.

Don't know why i feel the MotoG better than the Xperia SP, but the 5MP Camera is a deal-breaker. In your opinion which of this phones is the better one? For daily users of the Xperia SP, how good is the Screen? Contrast, Brightness, etc. Do you think the Sony's Camera to be so much better than MotoG? Recommendations? Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackerVR:
Hi mates, yesterday I've made a change for 7 inch galaxy tab 2, 8GB, more specially the p3110, as well as I rooted it and updatet it and about 6am insomnia makes me take the tablet, So far so ordinary ...

well then turn it on and tells me that my sd is empty :confused::confused: Nothing, I lost the data and I am about to make clear the sd, pretends to format and passed 15-20 secs it power off.

I get out of bed and went to connect it to the wall charger, knowing as sometimes if you leave the battery holding power and swiping your finger across the screen some time reappears stack and reloads it, I do it today that should have full charge and nothing, doesn't returns, when I connect it usb pc and when I do turn on the tablet it sounds windows connected usb sound and at the second connecting it disconnects device again, and there will end up pressing the button again

I removed the back cover and I have even removed the battery about 2 hours, reassembled and still doing the same ....

Summary: Does not display anything on the screen and battery charging even having tried the method "samsung" when this happens, (which only have it, with its official android I had to do it once, and recalibrate the battery even reach 4000 and mark its 100%, hence looked last longer and it was when the update and was working fine about 3 hours with it, no problem opening emails looking face and such, nothing out of the ordinary, there is no heat either, doesn't gave any fatigue sign and the battery was at 80% when It turned off suddenly), when you turn the computer connected to the usb nothing still while connecting a second and off the next, only once, until you return to try give the power or any combination, whether recovery, download, nothing shows anything on the screen

however when I connect it to pc to it hears something in windows, that tells me that the board is not dead, and the lcd was working ok and absolutely have any shot.

can you think of anything? I'm already crazy with this ... odin doesn't sees it, that connects the second and still sounds the little sound of I connect I get disconnected every time you try to pull it out, hopefully a recoverable semibrick at home or less silly ...

Still, very cool device. Much thinner than a Wizard. I'd buy one in a minute except for the fact that there's no d-pad unless you extend the kbd. Do you suppose d-pad functionality is somehow encompassed by the two buttons on the top and bottom? It almost looks like one does left-right and the other does up-down. I wonder how softkeys work.....

[Moto X General] Steve-x:
I just received an update to Touchless Control.

The version is now 4.3.10.1

What's New

- Enhanced end-of-speech detection for improved accuracy and faster responses

- New ""What's Up"" / ""Read Notifications"" voice command that reads out new notifications so you never miss a thing

- ""What's Up"" / ""Read Notifications"" fully launched for U.S. English, Spanish, and Italian and in beta for other languages / regions.

- Compatible only with Android 4.4 KitKat

- Bug fixes

I had to toggle Touchless Control off and then back on to have it work after the update.

Update - March 12th - new version 4.3.11.1 (seems to just be bug fixes)
[Moto X General] Ryno77:
Wow, I'm impressed!
[Moto X General] kdog350:
This update is so awesome
[Moto X General] Steve-x:
This is a nice update, but here is hoping it is just the beginning. Why not add all kinds of stuff to it, such as being able to ask it the status of wifi, then turn it on or off. Google technically supports the feature, it just needs to be enabled in the phone.

With enough engineering effort the possibilities of Touchless Control and Active Notifications are near endless and could be one heck of a Motorola exclusive feature.
[Moto X General] bso44:
Pretty damn cool but looks like it doesn't work well with 3rd party texting apps.

For example, I'm using Hello SMS and instead of saying the sender's name, it says, "You have received a notification from Hello" and then the message.

Took advantage of the new version on the drive home today. I don't use driving assist mode so the read notifications feature really rocks.

After watching the movie Iron man a few days ago the potential of this is limitless! I would like my own personal Jarvis!
[Moto X General] DogzOfWar:
What I like about the Moto X is that many of its key features (Active Display, Touchless Controls) are actually apps that can be updated independently of the ROM itself. And Google itself, with Maps, Hangouts, Chrome, Calendar, GMail, etc.... all of those are now just apps that have their own update schedule.

I know not being on the latest OS can be pain for other phones, but can we all agree that we're in a much better shape than the Android 2.3 days where apps were tied to the OS?

Anyone know whether this can be installed on the Moto X if you are running CyanogenMod (or does it require something in the Moto Rom framework?). I'm guessing no, and can test it myself later, but it's such a killer feature that I have no interest in CyanogenMod right now otherwise...

Yeah... because that's what I asked.... I'm not running cm, I'm running stock plus gravitybox. I asked a simple question - please improve your reading comprehension skills. And anyway, that is only sufficient until moto stops supporting the phone and cm is on android 5.0 and the x is stuck at 4.4.2....
