Another user here just had a situation just like yours. Take a look at the thread and get a pretty good idea of what options you have.

I looked through what you told me to and i dont have linux and ive tried using commands such as you were talking about before it just says they are not reconized...and im not stuff in a logo or anything i can interact with twrp and all but whenever i try and do somthing major it tells me i dont have an os? to do so..... And i am only 14 so i only know so much

Personally, I think you should ditch Windows and only use Linux (it's free) when fixing/modifying the KF.
Set up a Linux LiveUSB and run the SoupKit and you'll be well on your way to fixing your problem, mostly touble free.

If you can access TWRP, can you use the mount function to mount your sdcard?

Okay...
What ROM did you push to your sdcard?
Did you "Factory Reset" and wipe System before flashing the ROM?
And, when you were finished, did you select "Reboot System"?

It says nothing i put it into the folder for kindle as a zip as i found thats the only way to make it work but nothing come up and i never tried anything other than rooting it before it messed up but all i tried putting in was update-kindle-6.3.1 so i could reset it like i have before but it will not work

Have you even tried to install a different ROM?

As a matter of fact, this would be SOOOO much easier if you posted a video of exactly what you are doing to install a ROM. Something tells me you are missing something.

I am sorry i am very bad at this it was some stupid jelly bean thing

O_O
I am trying to install some stupid jelly bean thing now but i jsut want to make my kindle go back to normal....and i put the .zip file into the kindle sdcard and then i unmount it and then i do all the clearing of data and stuff then i use the .zip it worked but then it got stuck on verifing and stuff idk if its suposed to do that..... but then i just rebooted

I know how it is too be bad at this, I used to be pretty bad at this too. (Like 3-4 months ago.) So it was Jellybean? One question, does your bootloader work? If so, it's FireFireFire, correct?
EDIT: You posted as I was writing I see, Well, from my expirence in installing ROMS it shouldn't be hanging on Verifying. I beilive if it is it's because of a md5 check or signature (Correct me if I'm wrong) or another reason not known too me. So here is how you'd Install a ROM, Factory Reset - Wipe Cache - Wipe Dalvik/Cache - Install - Select ROMNAME.zip - Swipe to Confirm Finish -Wipe Cache/Dalvik - Reboot Device I hope this helps you.

So how's it coming along with that video?

LCD density changer keeping my evo from booting

First of all, I am sorry for posting this here, but I am kind of in a bind, and hope someone can help me out..
EVO, rooted with new unrevoked, running stock everything, on a mac
I downloaded and installed LCD Density Changer today, and changed my number form 240 to 200, as everyone suggested.
When I rebooted, my boot screen started, but then the display went blank, and I keep hearing the Sprint music, but the phone's display wont come up..
I can get into recovery mode, so I am thinking of just doing a wipe data/factory reset, and starting all over, which wont be a problem, since I am all backed up.
someone suggested doing an ADB push, but I am on a mac, and cant find detailed instructions on how to do that..
Can someone give me a idea on which way to go?
I am fine with wiping data/factory reset, if it gets my phone started again..
Again, sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but I know there are some great people here that will give me some direction
thanks so much!
i don't know what this has to do with development... but restore the backup that you made before you did the patch. didn't backup? wipe.
yup... no back up... shame on you..
your only choice is to wipe.
i dont know why people use this app, just edit the build.prop file yourself with rootexplorer or what ever app you have that can browse and edit the phones files.
Depending on what ROM you're running, you may also have to option of simply flashing it again without wiping. This would revert your build.prop and keep your installed apps and settings provided the updater-script in the ROM doesn't format /data/. I would try this before you go all out and wipe everything.
I really recommend you get ADB set up.
good news; got it to work with a zip file that a great member of this board gave to to flash; sorry if this post was placed in the wrong spot, and mods you are welcome to delete /lock it now..
BTW, doing a nandroid backup IMMEDIATELY!
you guys are the best, and SHAME on me for not doing that the minute I was rooted...

back to stock

I checked the forums and couldnt find my answer.
I am rooted and have twrp, and the android market installed. I would like to go back to bone stock.
I can just reset the KF under device right? How do I uninstall twrp?
Thanks
No thats incorrect you dont just reset the device you must wipe well and flash stock I must tell you numerous people are bricking themselves fairly bad attempting to do the same personally I would avoid it just flash modaco instead other than that the method to return to stock is in the second post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452

Even if you want to go back to pure stock, keeping/reinstalling both TWRP and FFF are the safest and smartest things to do.

The only mention of ADB is "adb push C:\kfu\software\update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin /sdcard/update.zip", which you can easily avoid if you don't want to touch ADB.
Just rename your downloaded file to update.zip (watch out for the file extension, Windows hides most of them on default settings), then just copy it into your KF like you do any other file. Do not place it in any subfolder.
Be sure to follow the steps carefully, or else you may end up with a soft brick (fixable).

I have the same problem, but my battery was 100% when flashing back. Is this good night for the kindle then?
It boots in to the 6.2.2 software, but these errors pop up and force close then eventually does a restart. Dammit!

No, that's not all you should do to get back to stock... follow ALL the STEPS. Wiping is VERY important. Ie, don't just rename the file to update.zip and flash it right away, or you'll most likely end up with a soft brick. I was only clarifying that one specific step.

Just a side note after restoring to stock you need to then perform a factory restore as well which will wipe your sd card if all goes well it should smooth out from there

Anyone know how to check to see if windows adds .zip? Like how do I check the default settings for file extensions. Also do I need to unroot before I flash back to stock? or will flashing take care of that for me?

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/show-or-hide-file-name-extensions That applies for Vista/7. XP is almost the same.
Flashing back to stock will undo anything you've ever done or had on the device, except for the contents of /sdcard (the stuff you've copied to it from the computer).

[Q] Stock Apps Keep Re-installing after restart?

So I unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted my phone. Next I downloaded titanium backup and uninstalled all the apps that I didn't want like kid mode and fitbit and TV etc... But whenever I restart the phone, all the apps are reinstalled again. Never had this issue on my S4. Does anybody know what's up?

So what you're saying is that I have to flash a new kernel? If so, that's too complicated... I only rooted because I wanted to remove the bloatware stuff and leave everything else untouched. I'm kind of regretting it now.
Has anyone figured out a way to unroot and lock the bootloader again for the M8?
I understand - you're pretty new to this device and maybe to HTC's write protection they invented last year. That's ok mate.
With TWRP installed it's a very simple thing to flash the new kernel. Did you already do some flashing on these devices? I think it's more complicated to get root the first time than flashing a zip from TWRP. :good:
Anyway I'll help you there. Simply download Flars kernel and copy the zip-file to your internal SD-card. Boot into TWRP and choose the install option. Navigate to your internal SD and select that zip file. Start flashing and choose simply the defaults you get offered by the aroma installer. Finish, reboot and the write protection is gone. TB will work as always.

Thanks a trillion. But this thing was bugging me, so I said to hell with it and just installed the GPE RUU. How I don't have to deal with any of that nonsense since none of the bloat apps are installed in the first place. Now I just have to figure out how to reinstall TWRP and root again... This stuff seems a lot more complicated then just using ODIN on Samsung devices, at least for the time being while I'm still so new HTC stuff.
worked.
I'm using HTC since a couple of years and bought a S4 Mini for my daughter last year. Last week my sister stepped in with her Sony device. Don't ask how long it took me to understand and root these devices... lol.
If you need to know sth about HTC devices simply step in and pm me. But I think you'll be soon familiar with the differences! :good:

Recovery?

Hey guys I want to get into twrp recovery but after staying on the 'entering recovery' screen it will reboot . It worked fine till today and I tried reflashing it to no avail. Any suggestions?

Boot into fastboot and type "fastboot erase cache" then flash the recovery.
Try it with both CWM and TWRP.

I tried this but it still wouldn't boot into recovery. I then tried installing an older version on TWRP and finally it booted properly. I was looking through it and something caught my eye. MY ENTIRE INTERNAL STORAGE WAS WIPED!!! I have no idea how this happened!! I tried restoring from my sd card but it couldnt mount /data. Would adb sideloading a ROM work do you think?

It may or may not. Or if it flashes, you might not be able to mount any data partitions or cache.
Try connecting to a PC, and formatting the internal storage with Device Manager.

Last time i couldn't mount /data i just rebooted into recovery and let it sit for a day then it was fine... when I'm about to try to reboot into recovery though it says "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" will it be safe to reboot?
I hope you get your issues sorted soon. Don't know what i can contribute to help you achieve that. You seem to have more issues than one, but i like to give you one tip and that is to stay in one thread only. I seen you around now in multiple threads and its getting confusing on your actual status. Please don't take this the wrong way, it's very well ment advice

Should be safe. You won't have an OS, so it will just boot into bootloader.

Thanks for your help. You answered many of my questions and were very patient with my questions. I regret to say though that my phone is now bricked. Only bootloader will show up, recovery is a black screen and so is bootup. This wouldn't be so bad if my /data is still corrupted after everthing i tried and no computer will recognize my device. I will come back to xda when I actually know what I'm doing and when my phone isn't as valuable. Thanks again for all your help.
Not sure if this is a similar issue or not but I had some issues getting into recovery after doing Sunshine S-Off today. Had TWRP installed and working fine, but after doing the s-off exploit I would see the recovery screen for a split second before the phone would reboot normally again.
Even running fastboot boot recovery.img to run it directly wasn't working.
However, downloaded and installed CWM instead and all is fine again. Phew

Its not bricked if the screen comes on. I sincerely think we can get this thing back up and running. A phone that doesn't work isn't "valuable" so you might as well keep at it.
Delete all HTC drivers, and connect the phone to a PC. Go to Device Manager, select the option to manually select drivers, and select the generic Android MTP device.

Looks like you solved it. But did you mean you were going to replace the phone? That shouldn't ever be necessary just due to software mods you did, as long as the screen comes on. I've seen only one exception so far, where several users here helped the user exhaust every possible fix to the memory not being mountable and nothing worked, and it might have been a fried emmc chip or similar hardware fault. In your case, I still had plenty of hope, as there were still several options that were not tried.

No OS is a known issue for some folks on TWRP. It is puzzling, since it only seem to affect some people. TWRP was pretty rock solid and reliable on my past device, so its a bit disheartening to see it appears to be considerably more buggy on the M8.
So is the phone fully up and running, no issues mounting memory?

I can still have TWRP on the phone, but (I don't know how) partition is coded, even if I put my 4 digits unlocking code (information is: wrong code).
Is there any way to make my phone live? using usb otg can help here?
Please help me and sorry for my language - I don't know this technical words...
If this is wrong place to posat this question, please let me know as well.

ok man. your phone is encrypted, bicoz that u see ur partition "kfIengEOgfmkeigm3" like that; doesnt matter;
that method will delete all your data from internal storage
1. Boot to Twrp Recovery
2. Do a Factory Reset
3.WIpe everithing
4. Reboot to Recovery Again and copy Rom,gapps,etc

Including internal storage, I will not have access to the rom
So you should format everything instead of just wipe
And use the newest version of TWRP (for me it changed much)
and then install ROM from OTG pen

Currently I'm waiting for OtG, I will let you know of results.
your encryption of your data(internal storage) is corrupted. only way to solve it is factory reset where it will erase data and internal storage. either way your data is long gone.
i have bricked many of my phones cause of encryption. nothing could save it(had all my data got messed up.)

) man, ...everithing u must delete from your device; idk if installing from sideload or otg are real solution (try them before doing final alternative), but if thats doesnt work u must wipe EVERITHING. My advice for u is to factory reset and wipe everithing if otg and sideload doesnt work... i wanted to help u with an opinion about otg or sideload, but i dont know nothing about thats...search in XDA and see if another persons had this problem... myself i had that, but i deleted everithing unfortunately.... good luck and dont be scarr...that problem have solution

OK. After wiping data, phone started working (with some bugs...) , but still have problem with coding data in TWRP - access code to the phone doesn't work. But as I said - phone works, I'm on nightly lineageos which was put to the phone few days ago. Currently I have problem with refreshing new OS, putting new version, without errors.

only format data and caches. no need to touch vendor boot system etc.
be sure to use "format data" where it will ask you to confirm by typing yes
