Open zip of your rom pull out boot.img and place in where your fast boot is at
Put your phone into fast boot and I believe command is:
Fastboot flash boot.img
Then:
Fastboot boot boot.img

I used HTC unlock beofre i went S off and mainly used ADB on my computer everytimeI flashed a new ROM, and believe me I think I was addicted. I had semi similiar issues, and had to use similiar routines to get it started up. Best afvice go S off. If I could do it anyone can.
first problem I see is that you have s-on,revalutionary worked to get s-off .it was to easy...give it a try
There's a fix!
You can boot into Recovery mode and then flash a backup. if you didn't do a backup then you can you to this very first thread in 'HTC Droid Incredible 2 General' and follow those directions. I've had this happen to me and I fixed it but it wasn't easy.
Yes s-off is a life changing experience. I'm so flash happy that I'm trying to get my friends to let me root there phones so I can flash them too.

Hy everybody,
My hox is like a surprise box.
Yesterday i could not do anything because of empty battery but i fixed it.
And today fastboot seems not to work correctly.
For example, if i try to flash recovery i doesn t change anything. It shows writing sos partition okay and succes.
And when i go to recovery it s stays with the same recovery.The same trouble with flashing boot.
The i try to install a rom over cwm 6 it shows okay but i get stuck a rom bootscreen. If i try to mount usb, it works
then i put a new rom on it after unmounting rom isn t on the internal memory.If i erase anything on my memory over
windows folder and files disapear but on unmouting nothing was deleted.
It s like i dont have any rigths.
I flashed to hboot 1.39 got no trouble and cid is HTC_102.
Does anybody got a solution ?
Can you lock your bootloader?
Try running a RUU. That oughta reset any problems with partition permissions.

What ROM/kernel have you been running prior to the problem?
---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------
Nevermind, I've seen your posts in Trip's kernel thread. Your HOX is bricked. No solution until we can achieve S-off. Until then you can either wait or send it to repair. You can risk and try to brick your bootloader by trying to relock the bootloader and running RUU (more likely to "avoid" the void warranty so to say but also more likely to be charged for more should they discover you unlocked the bootloader), or just send it as-is.

Thanks for the response.
I m not sure about the bricked device since it boots to android (okay i can not acces to android the user way) but
device seems to connect perfectly to pc with adb and i guess it s just a partition permission that need to be reseted.
Isn t there a way over linux to achieve that?
Hey guys. So I was trying to install a stock RUU zip and for that I relocked my bootloader. The thing is I'm not being able to install the RUU zip and the phone is bricked, and I just want to unlock the bootloader again and install a custom rom to have this over with. The other thing is that I have many files in there, I had only 3 gb free of memory, and I don't have a backup of those since my computer broke down and I lost my files. Is there a way to backup my files while the phone is bricked? Or a way to unlock the bootloader without wiping my files?
I hope you have good news for me, I'm getting kinda nervous... Thanks in advance

There's no way around unfortunately... The only way you can backup is through the command
Code:
adb backup
and you can do this only with the phone in recovery or booted up

You can try to make a backup via the app called Carbon. It does not need root acces or anything.
Thanks everybody! I unlocked the bootloader expecting to lose everything I had but in some crazy way everything is fine, my files are untouched, the phone is boot looping but that I know how to fix without a problem. Thanks for spending your time with me, problem solved
Ah if i recall it right its like this, the very first time you unlock the bootloader
Locked to unlocked
It deletes everything.....when going from
Relocked to unlocked
All is fine as you have experienced now.
Hi i am the proud owner of an htc one m8,
But i've been wanting to root my android 6,0 device and could not find any tutorials on how to do this on this android version and install twrp aswell.
Now i was wondering if it is the same as on Lollipop or is there not a devellopmend threat yet?
I would love it if you guys could help me,
Tim
P.S its an international version
Procedure for Rooting HTC One M8
1 - Unlock the bootloader from HTCDev.com
2 - Install Latest TWRP by Fastboot http://is.gd/twrpm8
3 - Flash SuperSU 2.65 or later in TWRP http://is.gd/supersum8

If asking for a why on s-off, then you likely don't want s-off. I wouldn't recommend you going with s-off until you've really gotten familiar with tweaking your device to the deepest level possible with s-on. S-OFF is useful for phone conversion (Taking a Sense or Sprint phone and converting it to a GPE), custom radios, and software / hardware hacks. You generally do not need this to get a fully customized experience. It isn't needed for modded ROMs or Kernels, or updating supported firmware.
Installing TWRP safely is pretty easy. You can either do it via fastboot (Fastboot flash recovery [twrp_image_file_name].img
Or, more simply; install TWRP Manager from the play store after unlocking your bootloader.

P.S I would like to install the harman and kardon option after i rooted and installed twrp but it recommends strongly s-off thats why i asked

For the Harman mods, you would probably be better off just using a ROM that has it pre-hacked
The chances of you hard bricking an s-on device is essentially NIL, so long as you make sure you read directions as you go. Make sure your firmware is up to date (Don't flash a MM rom on a LP firmware, though I've been told this is usually fine too), etc. You'll come to find that the M8 is one of the most rewarding and simple devices to strip down, root, and mod :laugh:
Soft bricking... meh. I soft-bricked my device a handful of times so far, mostly due to my own error. Probably the easiest device to fix in event of this, though!

The phone is s-on by default. S-off is the "modified" or non-stock state.
S-off costs $25 US by sunshine app. Its not needed to install a custom ROM or root, if that is your main reason for asking about it.

You can't brick this phone by flashing a ROM, rooting, etc.
In fact, its nearly impossible to brick s-on; and unless you start messing with s-off mods.
Just make a TWRP backup before flashing a ROM, or rooting. That way, if anything goes wrong and you find yourself unable to boot (I'm not a fan of the term "soft brick) just boot to recovery and restore your TWRP backup.

Plenty of folks here use the TWRP Manager app, previously linked by another user. I'd say its safe.
But I always just do the fastboot install method. If you have a fastboot environment working (and if you unlocked the bootloader by HTCDev.com, you should already), its easy to install TWRP by fastboot. Its also good to know how to do so (and other fastboot commands), if you ever run into the case the phone unable to boot into OS (for which any apps would obviously be useless).

I'm actually not sure.. Actually I think most of these flashing apps require root
Either way, following redpoint's advice and learning how to do it through fastboot will do you a ton of good-- if you ever get into a reboot loop or some other similar kind of crash, you'll definitely need to be familiar with adb and fastboot. Don't be afraid to settle in with a guide and go for it, the M8 is one of the safest devices to experiment with while s-on :laugh:

You can back it up through ADB, so that you don't lose app progress The command sequence is as follows: (Thank you @xunholyx )
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab to backup (replace "NAME" with your windows user name)
adb restore C:\Users\NAME\backup.ab to restore (replacing "NAME" again, of course)
This should allow you to back up your apps in their current state without root. I'd encourage using another backup service of some kind in order to save your contact info and the sort.. HTC Sync works if you want to keep it simple

Run the backup command while the phone is online and in android-- I do not believe it works during fastboot (I'm not at a computer, and am a wee rusty on this part)

I'll take a look, i am still deciding if i want to do this or not because its still under warranty and sometimes the top speaker acts a beet shady (cleaning it out with compressed air and a toothbrush and tapping it on the table helps to restore audio)

Hey all
Ran into a bit of a problem. I followed another sites instructions on rooting the HTC10 which basically said : Unlock Bootloader > Flash TWRP > Install SuperSU > Reboot phone.
What it didn't include was backing up the System Image.
Now, the phone will not recognize my SIM card at all.
Does anyone have a system image backup I can use to get the SIM working again ?
CID: VODAP021

I've already checked that thread (actually, was the first place I checked)
Couldn't see a CID for VODAP021
Is there another Backup image I can use that would be compatible ?

You try formatting data? Obviously back everything up to external SD or computer beforehand.

That was a oversight on my behalf. Besides, never needed to do anything like that on the M8, so it didn't really cross my mind at the time.
Anyway, its been done. Any way to recovery it now ?
Maybe with a stock ROM ?

Thanks for this guide and your teams' fast support of the 10. It's really appreciated. I got S-Off without issue.
One note about the guide, reboot to recovery does not currently work. It will only reboot to download, bootloader or system and attempting to reboot to recovery will reboot to system instead. @Captain_Throwback indicated this is a known issue with the current build of TWRP.

You can't even boot now?
Jut an FYI on VZW 10, you need to check oem unlock in developer options to unlock bootloader BUT it's not there. I assume Verizon hid it.
@jcase many thanks for this man! Now I have an idea of what to do next week.
Will donate in the form of buying sunshine again for sure. :good:
thanks @jcase for the tutorial

After some tinkering around and with everyone's help on this site, I found a stock twrp backup which got the SIM working again.

Have you tried re-locking the bootloader and using HTC's RUU for your device? Screwed up my previous phones and restored them using RUU. It will delete ALL data including TWRP though
Anyone got help with command promts etc, step by step for terminal with a Mac? With regards to HTC Dev part?
Clearly i'm not that super on it, but follow guides pretty well and have been able to do the HTC M7 but forgotten all the terminal parts..

Enabling this would not enable unlocking the bootloader, even if you could reach it in the UI.
Verizon users need to just wait a bit for a pure SunShine solution

I have that one. Not a problem. Just follow the guide. Make sure to use the uhl version of twrp not the wl version.

It's been tested out...by me...and external SD will not mount in twrp. So you won't be able to make a backup. Uhl works perfectly. Captain throwback even said in the thread that he didn't need to make the wl version. He thought the uhl version wouldn't even boot...but I confirmed that it would.
