Hello. I'm trying to restore my phone to factory settings, as I'm no longer using it and have someone who would like it. However, when I try to flash a rom, it would say 'successful(flashing via TWRP ofc)', and I would clear the cache, and reboot to system. However, when I do this it just gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliantly splashscreen. I updated my TWRP to the latest version(2.7.0.0), however this pretty much removed the folder 'sdcard' and renamed it to 'internal storage' or something similar. Right now, I have it plugged in to the back of my computer, and it is stuck on the splashscreen. As a last resort, I have come to XDA-Developers as you guys are the ones I can trust at the moment. Any help?

Like, when you boot into recovery, it has the blue and black screen, with TWRP on it. The splashscreen I guess. It'll go black after five seconds, then come back on after a couple seconds to the logo, and keep flashing.

Managed to get it to work. Flashed CWM Touch Recovery, went into bootloader and then fastboot and flashed it, then went and removed the twrps file like it said. However, it is still stuck on the HTC Quietly brilliant screen when flashing the rom, i just now flashed it and booted it up.

You really should know how to check an md5, it's a crucial piece of knowledge when flashing things to your device. An md5 is a digital fingerprint of a file. The md5 is usually listed on the download page of whatever you're downloading, once you have downloaded the file you need to use an md5 checking app to make sure that the md5 of the downloaded file matches the md5 listed on the download page. If it matches you can go ahead and flash it, if it doesn't match it means the file became corrupt during the download, so don't flash, you need to download it again.

Forget the RUU for the moment, you might just have a bad download. If it turns out your download is ok, then it might be time to try an RUU.

It's at 575 megabytes, and I don't necessarily want to piss my wife off even more by cancelling it so I'll keep it just in case lol. I'll try the RUU, the people I'm sending it to want it factory reset, and restored to any original state. Got an MD5 checking app in mind?

You need to use TWRP 2.7.0.8 to flash any current aosp ROM, due to changed fstab layout. There's a version in our Android Development section.

    No, the flash wouldn't have even succeeded if you had used the wrong recovery. I had forgotten that Candy hadn't yet released a version that utilised the new layout. But, Candy is yet to release a version since CM merged the commit that fixes the sod bug, so that's why you're experiencing it.
