Which recovery version did you install? Just btw CM11 is running great. I really suggest to try it Are you familiar with flashing a custom recovery?

Mmm, I think I haven't installed a recovery, yet. I completly new to do anything else with a phone than the stuff how they come from store. Was already intrested, but never took the time. However, now I'm moving to another country and having multiple phones all the time, and don't like to buy a new phone with dual sim. So that's where I am at...
Where can I find a recovery and install?

Check the DEVELOPMENT for Roms + recoveries. TWRP 2.7 or cwm 6.0.4.8 are latest versions abailable.

TWRP 2.7 was most easy to find, and working very easily. A step loser to a working phone, think I will manage from here. Thanks!

[Q] Soft bricked, can't boot after flashing any Rom

Hi everyone! My problem is that if I flash any rom (I've tried ARHD, Viper), the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. I've left it in that state for almost an hour and it hasn't progressed further. Restoring my nandroid backups also yields the same result. My fastboot getvar all:

The phone is currently unlocked, s-off. I tried flashing with both, philz and twrp, none work. Also, these roms worked before on the same phone with the same recovery so I really have no idea of what went wrong. The firmware on the phone is 1.56.720.6 (Asia-India). I have tried clearing the cache partition multiple times, but it doesn't help.

@EddyOS, @nkk71 please see this. I think there's something wrong with my /data partition..

Did you recently do the GPE conversion?

May be you should try to flash the stock rom and stock recovery then flash the ruu.

This, the partitions get altered so you can't just simply flash back

According to the OP's getvar output they've NOT done the GPe conversion as the HBOOT version included in the RUU is 3.18.0.0000 and the OP is still on 3.16.0.0000
OP, I'd follow my guide linked in my signature and you should be good to go

I hadn't touched the firmware, so there shouldn't be any problem related to that. Anyways, a rom and recovery do Not affect an RUU flash.

I flashed the international fw zip, and ARHD, (I had checked the hash of the file) and it still didn't work. Also, when I would reboot, some random artefacts would appear during the boot animation (different each time, sometimes wouldn't appear), such as there would be a random flash of purple across the screen or the boot animation would leave a trail behind it (like the effect you get web you would drag a stuck window in win98) etc. sometimes TWRP would act extremely sluggish while sometimes it would be fast and snappy. Quite a few times, while flashing any rom, the screen would go black and reboot to TWRP at random (even after disabling the display timeout). I tried formatting all the partitions on the internal storage. Still gave me problems. I tried to repair file system of each partition in TWRP. The data partition could never get repaired. All of these random problems lead me to believe that this was 99% the fault of the phone/hardware. Luckily I was within the 14 day replacement period and so I went out today after flashing the faux locked/s-on bootloader (I know I should not mess with firmware unless required, and I hadn't till now but I didn't care anymore since I was getting it replaced anyway. I also had 2 dead pixels and a scratch on my camera glass. Now I just have to sit back and wait for a new phone

We've seen this issue on Viper a few times and it usually happened after someone installed e.g. a VZW recovery to the GSM phone or vice versa.
A wrong recovery would flash stuff into the wrong partitions.
A RUU for your device, really just any, should fix it. You should run a RUU and then factory reset right afterwards from bootloader BEFORE flashing another custom recovery.
There is a cingular (AT&T) RUU out right now from HTC here: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2.exe which you could try - it is a GSM RUU. We don't really have WWE 401 RUU yet.
Just make sure you don't grab a SPRINT or Verizon RUU if you find any!!!!!!

Too late for trying a fix , I just want to know what caused it, and I'm 1000% sure I had the right recovery, because as I said, I flashed many other roms in the past with the same recovery, and the problem came after I tried ARHD. And this is the gsm phone.

Yeah well no idea then. Just know I've seen this happen from wrong recoveries. Also not the time to dig into it any further if you've gotten that resolved already I'll leave it as is. Thanks for asking me though. Just keep in mind I've been out of XDA since months and am only slowly reading my way back in so I'm sure there are way more knowledgeable guys around regarding firmware, softbricks and the like.

In such a big mess! I have the same problem as the OP - same to the last dot. I am on India version of device, and was just trying to update firmware to 4.4.3 and in that quest i flashed firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54899772&postcount=1392.
Post that camera and wi-fi stopped working - so I thought may be I screwed up with boot.img and reflashing Viper/ADHD would solve it. While on my way to install Viper I cleaned/wiped data in recovery and hit reboot accidentally which got the phone to stuck in bootloop. I pushed in back in recovery however, since then I have not been able to install either Viper or ADHD. I even tried doing a nandroid back-up from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54940131&postcount=1419, however nothing brings me past the splash screen.
Off-late (few hours) I am not been able to do a back-up (nandroid) as my recovery throws cant mount sdcard or sdcard1 both. Please help!

Yes, I did. Using HTCDev.
At the moment, I would be just happy with someway of going back to the clean slate. Is there a way I could go back to original/stock using ADB/Fastboot as recovery also doesnt seem to work.
Thanks

[Q] My Phone is weird

Ok so i got the Sprint Harmon Kardon edition about a month ago, and i recently rooted it and flashed a rom. Then i realized that htc sense was gone and when i try to install any type of Sense rom, it either does not work or features are missing.
Also i know that i need the newest firmware but i dont understand about the process, and i cant s-off my phone.
Please help.
Problems:HTC One wont Restore
Wont install Sense roms correctly
Dont Understand how to get new firmware on my phone
dont understand how to S-off
My phone is Rooted with Liquid Smooth ROM. it is not s-off

What steps exactly did you follow to get your phone into the state it is in now?
I'll avoid the lecturing, but you should really make sure you understand all steps of the process BEFORE doing something like this. You could easily have bricked your phone and been left with a several hundred dollar paperweight.

Some ROMs, in particular Cyanogen ROMs, have specific requirements that you may have missed. Many ROMs aren't compatible with Sprint, in particular.
If you've never updated your firmware (which, since you said you don't know how, I guess you didn't) just find a stock backup and try restoring that. At least figure out what firmware you have and find a Sense ROM that is compatible with that firmware. Most likely the reason that some ROMs aren't working is you have incompatible firmware. I assume you are doing a full wipe between these ROM flashings yes?

Alternately, you can just blow the thing back to factory fresh with an RUU.

You will have to re-lock the boot loader to use it, but assuming you got your unlock code from HTCdev, it should be a simple enough matter to unlock it again.

help please

Do you actually read the answers to your post? If not, you probably should.
Oh wait.......
you probably won't read this one either.
But here it goes.
Version of nandroid, wut?
Flash the RUU, or restore a backup (nandroid, don't know your "version" but your latest will have the newest date attached to it as a file name)

[Q] M8 won't go past splash screen

HI guys, so I can't get my M8 to go past the splash screen. I've tried countless ROMs (even stock 4.4.2 from Android Revolution), all of which say they install fine, but nothing. Even when I restore a TWRP back-up it fails to boot. I'm S-ON and was rooted. I've tried wiping System, data, dalvik, cache, factory reset. Nothing happening.
Any ideas? I'm stumped ...

Ok hold on. So I went to my phone this morning, and it's booted into Skydragon's 5.0.1 ROM, which I did try installing. 5.0.1 ... And I have no S-Off?? I didn't think this was possible?!

Although, I have no WiFi, and rebooting resulted in it getting stuck on the splash screen again ...

If I were you I'd go here http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/401/
and start updating your firmware start with 1.54.401.10.zip and work you way up to the last one 3.29.401.9.zip.
Don't Skip any flash all 7 of them
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After you get them all flashed I recommend TWRP 2.8.3.0 it's the newest and seems to be working Great for me.

Same issue as JustArchiee
I am having the exact same issue as the original post's user. My phone is stuck on the splash screen. I have tried a few different ROMS
1. Skydragon Sense ROM
2. insertcoin 6-0-6
3. Skydragon Asia WWE
I had a rooted lollipop rom, but that is having way too many issues. I have a backup of that ROM, but I dont want to get back to it. It is draining battery like crazy, has wifi issues

M8 stuck whilst loading recovery mode..

So i accidentally wiped the phone including the internal storage and the OS instead of factory resetting (wasn't paying attention) and tried to re install the android marshmallow OS onto the phone which didn't work..
i managed to flash the twrp by following another forum where someone had the same problem, using the adb process to flash the bootloader etc but now i can't access the recovery at all, it just says entering recovery and remains idle until i get bored of waiting and power off.
Can anyone help me?
i can provide whatever information is necessary for you to help, just need my phone revitalised as i desperately need it for my new job that i should hopefully be starting at the end of the week.
thanks in advance!

Hope this helps, I'm really not that good with anything Android related as of yet, but i really need this phone fixed asap.

@mcg0v
you post your issue in the wrong forum
your device is HTC One m7
this forum is for HTC One m8
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
this is for your device ask there some one will guide you

I have quite the same problem (and i have One M8). Can't enter TWRP recovery, bootloop - just shows an endless loading, i can start the phone without that by pushing pwr button/VOL+/VOL- at the same time (fastboot mode - ok). I want to get the stock back, but it's impossible without entering TWRP. Can someone help me please? It seems that i do not understand this thing anymore.

Fastboot erase cache, then flash TWRP again in fastboot. Try TWRP 2.8.1.0, which is an older version (more compatible with your old firmware). Then see if you can boot into recovery.
Or flash signed firmware, to update firmware (yours is ancient) then flash TWRP 2.8.7 and restore a newer stock backup (corresponding to the firmware flashed).

Thanks a lot. I've tried the first solution and at least TWRP is now working. I've tried the same thing, but it seems, that it was a wrong version of TWRP

Many apologies, turns out i misread the model and its actually the M7 i have. But im glad that this post is helping others with my original problem and thanks to other members who contributed to helping!
