[Q] Issue during CM10 flash - might bricked

This is the first time i flash my phone to move to the darkside.
T989 running ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.5 , Flashed with DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE_EXT4 / CM10 Stable. After complete the flash and stuck on the CM splash screen.
After read the CM10 Thread, that mentioned i should not use the dakrside wipe.
1 - I can boot into CWM mode
2 - Cache and dalvik cache cannot wipe Any suggest that i should proceed next or thats bricked????
3 - If restore, the USB keep prompt error
Thanks

Your phones fine
If you can get into recovery. wipe data, wipe factory reset, wipe dalvik wipe cache. Flash cm10. Flash gapps. Reboot.
If you can't wipe anything in recovery and it freezes up. Your recovery is broken and you have to reflash it via Odin. Then go back and do what I said above
NEVER USE DARKSIDE SCRIPTS WITH CWM 6.XXXXXX OR TWRP 2.2.XXXXXXX OR 2.3XXXXX

I don't know what your saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcffczu-0qA&feature=youtube_gdata_player. Watch this video. Download the files specified but the only files you will actually need are the Odin app and "Hercules.tar.cwm file. The only steps youd actually need to follow start at 3:50 and end at 6:27. This method will reinstall cwm version 5.0.xxxxx. As usual hold up down power to get into recovery mode. Use dark side super wipe and reinstall ROM and gapps then dark side cache wipe. since it IS the older cwm version 5.0.xxxx you do need the scripts. Once everything looks good and you decide to upgrade your recovery DONT use the scripts anymore. The newer recoveries do the work for the scripts
Edit:
Unlike the video explains you want to enter download mode before connecting your phone to Odin. I think to get into download mode you hold volume up / down then plug USB from pc into phone.. All at the same time

CM10 bootloop

I am new to rooting and rom'ing. I was able to root my Hercules using clockwork 6.0 and was in the process of installing cm10 and it froze up, and after i rebooted it got stuck in a boot loop. I did do a back up of my stock rom and have gotten it to factory reset back to astock rooted rom, not sure if it is my backup stock rom. The process that I read to rom it is to install darkside wipe, then cm10, then gapps. I have wiped data, cache and davlik cache, i am trying to get it to install cm10, but it doesn't seem to want to install. what should i do to get it to start over and get cm10 rom on?

I would only use the Darkside wipe scripts on CWM 5.X. Use Odin to reflash the recovery of your choice and then format system, factory reset, and then flash CM10.

Thanks, I didn't know that, guess the instruction i found were a little outdated. I'll try your suggestion. What do mean by formattin it? (I thought the factory reset does that?) Also how long should it take for cm10 to install?

Formatting the system only formats the /system partition and wipe data formats the /data partition.
What do you mean?

I would have made a backup of the stock rom then from the stock rom downloaded goomanager from play store then flash newest twrp recovery, then wiped and installed a appropriate ROM

You missed /System as well [hence why the stock ROM booted again otherwise if you actually formatted where the ROM was there is no backup ROM.
You should move to Jellybean [I have used ParanoidAndroid as a daily druver for months now and it is newer [Android 4.1.2].,
No matter which ROM you choose, first boot phone
download ROM Manager [Free is fine]
Open it, grant Super User
Tap top-most option to install Clockwork Recovery and it will walk you through getting etiher the non-touch for free or paying $2 for touch recovery [unless you flashed that via Odin then skip], but need to be sure you have newest CWM and not an old one from a rooting guide that been around.
Boot to recovery wi[e cache
tap advanced wipe dalvick
go back one menu
go to mounts and storage tap to wipe system, and data
go back one menu to main
tap install zip from SDCard
Tap internatl or external wherver you saved it and find the CM 10 you downloaded and tap and flash it
do the same but find where you saved the gapps pack
now restart device and enjoy

continual boot loop...tried everything here.

I got cm10 on for about 20 minutes then CWM updated to 6.x. I flashed a nightly and it's been in a bootloop ever since. However, when I was on CM10 those few brief minutes I could not hear or he heard on a call.
No idea what to do now. I'm stuck on 2.3.6 unless there's some other trick I can do to get this thing to boot...

Why not just try a different rom? Lots of options out there.
Also, watch the dates on the how to's you read. A lot can be outdated.

[q] no os, cannot reboot, need help

I was trying to flash a new rom today and i wiped everything perfectly fine (using twrp) and then it wouldn't boot up so I went to restore from a backup and that didn't work either. Then when i wanted to go restore to a different backup , i found that my whole internal storage has been wiped! I HAVE EVERYTHING ON THERE, MY ROM, MY GAPPS. now I don't have backups or a rom to flash! I did not reboot yet but what can I do right now that I don't have an OS cause system was wiped?
Essentially, I have no ROM installed and I don't want to reboot the phone cause I don't know what will happen. PLus the fact that I can't connect to computer via recovery so I can't add files onto the phone. What Can I do now? someone please help asap! :'(

do you have a micro SD card?
if so, pop it out, put some stuff on it, then put it back in.

Load your SD card. Select reboot and select recovery. It'll reboot right back into twrp.
Make sure when you go to install you select external.

just to double check, you do have an i747 and you did download roms for your i747, correct? which carrier?
if you've got the right downloads, i would try flashing in recovery once more via these steps:
Select Wipe data/factory reset
Select Wipe Cache
Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
Select Mounts and Storage and format /system
Go back out to the main recovery screen and choose the "install .zip from external SD card" option
Flash gapps, select "install .zip from SD Card" again and locate/install the downloaded gapps file
Wipe data again
Wipe cache
Reboot system. It will take several minutes to load so be patient
if this doesnt work, you could flash stock via odin

T Mobile HTC One M8 has No OS, Please HELP!!!!!!

Hi, I'm a noob at messing with rooting or ROMs, I have a T-Mobile HTC One M8 that I rooted, it worked fine until 2 weeks later it started rebooting every few seconds, I went into TWRP Recovery and wiped the Dalvik Cache and the regular Cache, it worked fine for a few days then started rebooting every minute or so so I attempted to wipe both the Dalvick Cache and the regular Cache again thinking it would solve the problem once more. I went into Advanced Wipe and wiped Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and System...it was a noob mistake thinking that I just did a Factory Wipe. I'm not sure why I did that, but afterwards, I lost the OS to my phone because of it.
These are the Problems:
I have S-On
I didn't do a Backup of anything
I don't know how to find the CID (if needed to fix it)
I have no idea how to fix the phone
I've attached a picture of what my bootloader shows for its information. Please can someone help me fix my mistake...I really want to learn how to fix this. Can someone please instruct me how to get my OS back? I want to be able to use this phone again.

I think you can side load in recovery a ROM to flash. Lemme check...

I have a friend that did that this is what he did:
Boot into recovery phone plugged into pc
Put Rom in adb folder and start cmd from that folder
adb devices (to make sure pc is seeing the phone)
adb push NameOfRom.zip /
On phone goto install in recovery pick the Rom and install it

Do you have a micro SD card? If so, download a ROM on your computer, transfer it to micro SD card, put the card into your m8, boot into recovery (hold volume up or down and power, I forget which one, then select recovery) go to install and choose external storage. Then install the rom like normal.

The mistake you made there was that you wiped the system which removes any is that is on your phone.... I've made that mistake before.... That's why every dev says make nandroid backup every so often:good::victory:

System refers specifically to the OS, so obviously if you wipe it, you will have no OS.
First off, my advice is that you should not be wiping anything if you don't know what it is, or what the effect will be. Sorry, not trying to be harsh, but you see the result if you rush into things without being properly informed or careful.
On a similar note, there is usually no reason to wipe Internal Storage. Some of the more OCD folks here like to do it from time to time, just to do a really thorough cleanup. But again, if you don't have a good specific reason to wipe a partition, you shouldn't do it. For instance, even if you had done a TWRP backup, the default save location is Internal Storage, so you would have deleted the backup anyway. Same thing if you had a ROM zip on the Internal Storage (to flash in case of problems like no OS), you would have wiped that too. Its a bit too common to see folks post "I had a ROM zip on the phone, but I wiped everything so now I can't flash the ROM".
All you need to do to recover is adb push a ROM to the internal storage; or copy a ROM to a removable MicroSD card. Then flash either in TWRP.

Thanks for the information,
How do I find out if a ROM is compatible with my phone? or does it matter? also, I read that to flash a ROM, you need to have S-OFF? My phone has S-On, does that matter as well?

Any ROM meant for the M8 should work. If you want to be sure, check the thread for that ROM to see the T-Mobile version is supported. or other T-Mob users have flashed it successfully.

No, you do not need S-off to flash ROMs. You can flash ROMs with S-on. Any mods that require s-off should state so in the top post of the thread for that mod.

Okay thanks, I downloaded a Nandroid Backup from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51836232&postcount=1
The one that shows this: TWRP-TmoUS-Stock-Rom-Backup-1.12.531.19.zip
In the TWRP I go to Install, change the storage to Micro SDcard and choose the zip file, I then swipe to confirm flash...but it doesn't go through it says that it can't read the cache.
Am I possibly doing something wrong?

I think you need to go into boot loader and type command (fastboot erase cache) without the brackets there. Then reboot recovery and try again.

Fastboot erase cache, as previously mentioned. Or using TWRP to erase cache (select Wipe, go Advanced, and check cache) should work, too.

A nandroid backup zip is for you to extract and place the folder to TWRP/backup on your sdcard.
In TWRP you select restore and select that folder.
It is not for install like a ROM.zip

A nandroid backup is indeed a ROM and to replace your current ROM ... just the installation is different from a ROM.zip. You restore a nandroid backup, complete and reboot... you have a stock ROM runnning.
Check here for ROM but not many for T-Mobile : http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-htc-one-m8/development

I see, so I have the ability to fix this phone by using this backup on an sd card? its a possibility...by creating a TWRP folder and extracting the nandroid backup.zip in the folder.

Yes
You should already have TWRP backup folder.
The structure is TWRP/BACKUPS/yourdeviceserialno/folderhere
Good luck, gotta go now

I think I may have killed my phone

I went into twrp(which had just been installed using the twrp app) I then proceeded to make a new backup of my phone and found that afterwards I was no longer able to boot into android. It would automatically boot to recovery. I tried restoring the backup. and then a whole new rom. I have since found I was also unable to boot into download mode. it would still just boot into recovery. Any ideas on how I could fix this? mine is the rogers model to clarify.

Have u tried wiping dalvik cache or factory reset by Twrp?

Yes, I wiped it and tried another rom.

New info just noticed that twrp is throwing out the error E:/sbin/runatboot.sh process ended with error=1
Edit: Upon looking online at the symptoms(automatically booting into recovery no download and no system) i believe the problem may be that twrp got installed on the wrong partition or deleted partitions that it shouldn't have. I'm coming from dn4 by the way.

follow steps:
1. charge ur phone to 80%
2. Advance wipe except SD card
3. Restore Stable backup
Second Option
1. Advance Wipe all
2. Goto fastboot mode
3. Re Flash TWRP Recovery
4. Then Try Restoring Old Stable Backup

Thanks for your suggestion. backing up my internal storage really quick then i'll try option 1(option 2 won't work no matter what i try to boot to it just reloads twrp instantly, like it doesn't even act like i restarted it just goes immediately to the teamwin screen.)

Good luck.. Do update me if it help ..c ya

After screwing around for a bit i managed to reflash a cwm backup of my recovery which now lets me boot into downloader which means if i can track down the official firmware i'll be good to go.
EDIT; Just out of curiosity i flashed the rom i wanted to install. Low and behold its showing the boot animation. i'll update in a few if it boots past there.
EDIT 2: booted! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP

:-o
