I love my M7, but HATE AT&T, and their deeply-embedded Hotspot block. So I BYOD to TMO. I finally did my first ever ROOT on this phone last week, flashed the TMO radio, then my first ROM (Viper 9.0.0+Fix) that same night; last Tuesday. That ROM seems fine, but it was a little overwhelming for me (a newbie not used to all that control), plus it still didnt release my Hotspot.
I've been following this thread the last couple of weeks, and decided to give this one a try. I flashed NIGHTLY 4.27 on Saturday evening, and started going through all the settings, trying to familiarize myself, and make a few adjustments along the way. After about 10 mins and about 10-12 permissions and some "fu-fu" tweaks, during which time I got several ANR pop-ups about either Google or HTC apps, I rebooted.
Here's where the fun starts; roughly 10-15 secs after the home screen comes up after reboot, an ANR pop-up hits me with "HTC Backup has stopped", then the phone freezes, auto reboots, then gets locked into that cycle (?bootloop?). This went on for maybe 15 minutes the first time (while I was trying to read up on whether or not I just killed my favorite phone). I rebooted into recovery, and used my TWRP to wipe and re-install my stock back-up. Everything back to normal. Then I did some more reading, then got brave enough to try again a couple hours later. I did all the steps (backup, full wipe, flash the zip, reboot). Went a little slower through things to try not to screw it up again. Sure enough, once I did a system reboot, same results.
From what I did see of the ROM, I think I'm gonna love it, and it DID unblock my Hotspot quite well. I'm just gonna need a little help, please.
