I have my One s-off and the other day I flashed the stock 4.3/Sense 5.0 ROM and the stock recovery thinking I would be fine to accept the OTA. Yesterday the OTA came and I accepted the download and told it to install. It got 3/4 done with the install and then threw the red exclamation mark inside of a triangle. I can not boot my phone past the HTC screen and I do not have a custom recovery installed. I can boot into the bootloader, but when I try fastboot commands my computer just says waiting for device indefinitely and makes no noise when I plug my phone in, which leads me to believe the computer isn't recognizing it. I tried preforming a factory reset, but that did not solve anything. Oddly enough, I had my phone turned off overnight, but this morning at 7am it turned itself back on and sat at the HTC screen. I had an alarm set for 7am so this gave me hope as it still remembers that.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Same situation here. Kitkat OTA bricked my Verizon HTC one. I'm S-off/unlocked with base rom. I can get to bootloader and can run fastboot, but can't seem to be able to find RUU for Verizon HTC one. Anyone can help?

I was able to get my computer to recognize my phone, flash TWRP through fastboot, and then boot into TWRP to sideload the stock 4.4.2/Sense 5.5 ROM.

I think I got it. Here is the instruction for sideloading. Going to give it a shot now. Thanks much!

first off. this is not a brick. Brick means the phone is a brick screen doesn't turn on cant do anything if you can get to hboot you have a chance.
im guessing it loaded everything onto you phone but hboot and the system itself. what you can do is this.
fastboot flash recovery *.img
(* cwm, twrp, phils)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery
if you can get in recovery, flash a rom that is 4.4.2 only (in case some or all the firmware was installed)
if you cant get into recovery you will need to return the bootloader to lock status and run the RUU
I put my phone in a nice black screen of death bootloop. All because of CWMR. After 1 hr of pulling my hair out trying to get back to bootloader, I managed and flashed TWRP. After that, everything was easy as pie. I think that is the last time I use CWMR.
adb push
Dont forget that both recovery will allow adb push if you can get there.. Just adb push your zip to your m7.. On liunx it looks something like this....
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ adb devices

Had the same issue yesterday. As described. I just a thread I posted in help just yesterday, and pulled the error from manually flashing the ota .zip with via stock recovery.
I had no solution, and just waited for Santod and flashed.
Now I also got the black screen. You can get back to boot loader, not easily, but you can.
if I have helped you please press the thanks button.

Am unlocked, S-off, rooted, otherwise stock 4.4.3. Was trying to update to the latest 4.4.4 so replaced TWRP with stock recovery. First attempt failed, red triangle. I figured this was due to Viper4android and the buildprop tweaks that required so I uninstalled the driver and replaced the buildprop with stock version. At this point, I had turned fastboot on and USB debugging off.
After this the phone will not reboot to OS. I can get the HTC screen to flash for a few seconds by pressing Power+VolUp, which then goes black and nothing happens. I can also sometimes get to bootloader, but cannot get my PC to recognize the phone in ADB so not much luck there.
I assume something went wrong with Viper4Android uninstallation or I screwed up the buildprop replacement. Am out of ideas, should I do a factory reset in the bootloader? I do have a TWRP backup, but I can't replace the recovery or anything else through ADB for that matter.
Edit: I did notice in bootloader that OS gets no version info, so something obviously gone wrong there. I just have no idea what to do without ADB. I guess I'm screwed.
Thanks for any help!

Go to captain throbacks site for our m8 he has twrp fishable zips that you flash in your bootlloader. After that you can do a restore or reflash whatever. It might not show the proper os in bootlloader but don't worry bout it you can fix after. You'll be able to see what one your on after you get up and running again. Hopefully that should work. Just make sure you follow the directions correctly on his site. Just Google captain throwback.

Also best way to update your firmware is thru a bootlloader flushable zip as well you don't have to worry about restoring stock recovery and doesn't matter what rom your on etc. There are threads on how to do it very easy.

Thanks! I shall look into this.
Hello all, I have searched for more than a couple hours and just seem to be getting nowhere. Here's the deal: I have an HTC One M8 with TWRP, root, an unlocked bootloader and S-ON. I want to install Lollipop, but can't take the OTA.
I know a little bit about what I'm doing, I tried to flash a rooted stock ROM but it didn't take. I wiped all directories but the internal storage. Also wiped the Dalvik, `but I could not get the update to take. I tried a few other things but out of fear of bricking my phone I wasn't very adventurous. I flashed the backup I made beforehand and it worked fine.
I think I have the wrong file...? Could my S-ON be the problem?
Sprint HTC One M8 (HK edition)
Android: v4.4.4
Sense: v6.0
Kernel: 3.4.0
Baseband: v1.08.20.0916
Build:3.31.654.2
All I want to do is flash lollipop. Will I have to lock the bootloader and go back to stock recovery to do it? Can I use adb sideload to install it via adb?
Thank you for your time.

I'm pretty sure my phone is toast.
PLEASE HELP, it worked just fine before I took your advice...
I relocked the bootloader and verified it multiple times before doing this. I made sure everything was exactly the way it was explained in the instructions, all files were correct.
I put the phone into fastboot, which I verified with adb.
I ran the Sprint_HTC_One_M8_HK_4.20.654.10_RUU .exe file and followed the instructions.
Both the program and pphone are currently frozen. They have been this way for almost 2 hours now.
The phone is stuck at the black HTC splash screen and the installer says
Updating...(0/7)... #(<--- these dots are still in motion like its installing)
Updating the ROM image on your Android phone...
[color=redPlease do not remove the USB connection from the Android phone or launch any programs during the update process.[/red]
Remember, this operation will take about 10 minutes.

Ok, the phone is not recognized by adb but is still recognized by fastboot, can I reboot it into TWRP by using
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
then just flash the backup I made before all this crap started?
*EDIT* RESOLVED
Never mind, I resolved it myself. I just typed
Code:
fastboot reboot
and hit enter. It booted right up.

I looked through it and all user made folders are gone, but all user downloaded apps are still there. I also noticed that superSU root access was off, but the 'apply on boot' option was turned on, could this be what crashed the updater?
Hi All,
I know this is my first post and its asking for help already but I can usually find the answer to anything I need by just searching.
But this time i'm really stumped
I can see that a lot of other people are having this problem and have tried all the solutions to no avail.
I was rooted before and had the notification that update was available.
I followed this guide How to get OTA Updates on a rooted HTC One M8 by sakitech on youtube as I have done before.
I flashed the stock recovery and rebooted fine.
then I applied the update from the notification you get and now I am stuck with this brick...
I can get into boot loader using a combination of up and down buttons with the power button.
I am S-on
OS4.16.401.13
Ive tried putting various 0P6BIMG.zip on the sd card and have had the following results
Device halted due to large image update fail
that's the best I have so far.
If anyone could help me get my phone back that would be great
if there is anything else I need to tell you let me know
Thanks Loads

On lollipop, OTA will fail when the stock ROM is rooted due changes in binary.
You need a pure non-rooted stock ROM. Re-unrooted a rooted stock ROM won't work either.
How to get OTA Updates on a rooted HTC One M8 is not applicable on lollipop
Install TWRP and restore non-rooted TWRP 4.16.401.10 backup and then install 4.16.401.10 stock recovery then redo the OTA.
You can restore only system if you want to keep your data or backup your data and restore later after the OTA successfully update your device.
Thanks for the reply
sorry I am in way too deep lol
would you be a super star and give me a little walk through of what to do as I have been trying for hours today already
Also if you could provide the links I need that would be most excellent
I need all the help I can get )

but the phone is not recognised with adb now?
was before but now I open it up type adb devices and it lists nothing?
Help me Jesus lol
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. Took an OTA and got bootlooped. S-On, Bootloader Unlocked, Bootloader 3.19.0.000, CID CWS_001. I flashed a GPE custom rom in TWRP to have a working OS, but now I can't figure out how to return to stock. I tried relocking the bootloader and then using the ATT RUU on HTC's website, but it failed because the system version was wrong or something like that. I have a backup of my data, but I can't figure out how to get this OTA so I can go back to stock and restore my data and not take an OTA again. Radio is [email protected] if that helps.

Why adb ? adb works only while in recovery or running system.
And the tutorial that I linked to you has nothing about adb, only fastboot
So what are you trying to do with "adb" ?
HI again day 3
How do I install TWRP without adb?
I can get into fastboot menu and have the TWRP .img on my SD card
How do I install it?
PLease Thanks
Toefudge
You don't need adb commands but fastboot commands !
so would you help me?
how and where do I use fastboot commands please?
as you can tell I haven't got a clue lol
so I type the fastboot commands in the same place but it just says waiting for device?
In your post #1, you mentioned you flashed stock recovery, how did you do that ?
It's the same fastboot command
after put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC, run this command:
fastboot flash recovery NameOfRecovery.img
If you don't have fastboot/adb properly installed, try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Yes I flashed the stock recovery to start when it was working
Then tried to do the update then it went into boot loop
I tried every thing including a factory reset.
Would this turn off the USB debugging? Stopping me from seeing the phone with fast boot/adb?
Many thanks for all that have helped me so far
No.. usb debugging on is needed for adb
fastboot doesn't need usb debugging on
Try the fastboot/adb link that I posted.
Also fastboot work when you put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode, most likely won't work while bootlooping
Ok cool thanks loads
I will try again I'm a bit
Just making my 3 boys dinner and then I'm back on it
Then I'll be back asking for help probably lol
What can i say ..
Thankyou so much for your help and patience
its all sorted now followed your instructions on the link after i reinstalled the fast boot software
You guys .
I have no idea how to root or anything like that, I bought this oneplus 3 and had a update a week later.. so when I did the software update it took me into teamwin recovery mode and now I don't know how to get back into my phone please help....
Did you buy the phone second hand or did you try to flash TWRP yourself? It shouldn't have TWRP installed by default.
Regardless, you can use TWRP to flash the latest update.
Given that you have TWRP, I'm assuming that you have an unlocked bootloader. Did you notice a warning pop up everytime you reboot your phone before? It should say something along the lines of "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". If not, you'll have to unlock it (it wipes your phone in the process).
If the bootloader is unlocked, you can simply download and flash the latest zip for OOS 4.0.3 in TWRP. This will update you phone and replace TWRP with the stock recovery (so you don't run into this problem again in the future when installing an OTA). If you don't intend to modify your phone in any way, then this is all you need to do, your phone should be functional.
There are plenty of threads with detailed guides on how to do all of this.
I'm also stuck on TWRP after stupidly downloading the latest OTA and I don't know what to do!
Phone won't boot normal, just goes off.
Situation:
- Bootloader, Fastboot and TWRP wil load.
- Device seen by windows
- Zip install in TWRP gets stuck at 'patching zip unconditiontally'
- Another zip flashes, but gets stuck at the end, no reboot option (manually but that's not the way)
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, just want my phone back!

Saying i'm a dipsh-t I know, I know, I will do better in the future, for now, help a brother out please

Simple, check the OnePlus D/L sites for this one http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img and flash it by TWRP or fastboot to RECOVERY. Boot once with the official Recovery and all ist fine again.
This is issue of using a faulty twrp so for that when ur phone us booting up go to fastboot and flash twrp 3.0.4-1 and everything will work

Similar Problem here:
just wanted to flash latest OOS 4.0.3, so I flashed back stock recovery with flashify and rebooted into recovery mode to flash the already downloaded OOS 4.0.3. zip. That's when it began to go poop! After rebooting it just went dark with no Chance to power it on again! No dice with power button, Volume up/down + power button, nothing! Not even the LED's are blinking when plugged in. So this one seems to be basically dead!
I got it once booting again after randomly pushing the buttons (after x minutes!?), but everytime I reboot the phone it just shuts off without beeing able to power it on again. At the Moment it's dead!
Any ideas what might happened? If I get it on again, should I immediately reset it to factory Settings?
I am kinda lost here! Any help/ideas would be much appreciated!
Flashify? Never used it and never trusted apps which flash stuff on a running system. Use fastboot and reflash the recovery partition. Link to recovery is in my former post.
fastboot flash recovery PATHTOIMGFILE
Thank you for your advice! Still a lot to learn! Got it up again, will try as you suggested!
It appeared that my stock recovery file was corrupted , but all is fine again! Thank you very much!

I may have been the person you traded with to get the OnePlus 3, but I took the phone back and after 5 hours I got it up and running.
The phone would boot to TWRP, but even after wiping the entire system and dragging a ROM zip to the internal storage, reinstalling did nothing. It just kept booting back to recovery.
The solution entailed the following.
Download stock recovery IMG. Flashed through TWRP. Rebooted recovery and now was back to stock recovery.
Download the official OxygenOS ROM zip from the OnePlus website and changed the name to update.zip
Next I downloaded Android studio for access to ADB. I had never used ADB before, but I knew this was needed to push a file to the phone.
Needless to say, ADB kept freezing my computer when I would type in the commands to side load.
I deleted Android studio and installed a minimal ADB/Fastboot I found online. I opened my command prompt, typed the command for sideloading, and immediately got my installation starting. It took about 10 minutes to fully install. When it was finished, I rebooted and had a fully functioning OnePlus 3

Hey guys, I've given up. For every step I make it gets worse.
I had rooted my OP with Magisk, and one night i decided to update my OP. I woke up and tried to turn on my OP, it went to 1+ screen as usual but then the LED went white and the screen totally blank.. I couldn't do a thing.. I decided to wipe everything on my OP with TWRP recovery mode, but it made it worse. Now when i turn it on it starts a bootloop. Recovery mode is totally gone from the phone, and my computer and ADB can't detect my OP. The only things I can do now is going into bootloader or turning it into an endless bootloop.
Can you guide me through this?

ADB doesn't work while in the bootloader...
Might still be possible to use fastboot in bootloader mode to flash TWRP, boot to recovery, connect to a computer, transfer over a full OTA zip and flash that.
If nothing else though, the unbrick tool likely works...

Probably exactly what the unbrick tool would do, except it would more than likely use stock recovery instead of TWRP.

So, in other words it'd be less work using fastboot, because you'd have TWRP from the start and could put whatever ROM version you'd want on there straight away... :laugh:
