[Q] Bootloop! HELP PLEASE!

So I was about to install CM10 in my One V. I'll try to describe exactly everything I did. It's my first time flashing a ROM, so I was following these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918100 since they're the only detailed instructions I could find. I was using the latest CM10 from maxween http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996761 (CM10 2012-12-08).
Since Maxween states that the boot.img is in the ZIP, I went on to extract the boot.img from the CM10-20121208.zip. I booted into HBOOT, plugged my phone and went into FASTBOOT USB. I went on to flash the boot.img

Following mattxhtc's instructions, I tried to booting up the phone to check the kernel version (note that I didn't unplug the phone from the computer), and now the phone won't boot up. It goes up to the HTC ONE animation, the jingle suddenly cuts off and the screen stays stuck there. I can still restart the phone and go into HBOOT. I tried restoring using a Nandroid backup but the problem is still present. I'm currently trying to restore it once again. Any help? Where did I mess up?
EDIT: The restore just finished and the problem is still present!
EDIT2: I tried following mattxhtc's instructions again and flashed boot-TK-USB-CM10-201209091500.img from his guide, and the problem is still present... Help please, I'm freaking out!

I haven't flashed the CM10 ROM yet, from I can gather, I flashed the kernel first when I should have flashed the ROM first and then the kernel? Following the instructions in there and continuing with the installation of CM10 should solve my problem, then. I'm going to do that and report back.
EDIT: What do you know, it worked! Now I'm running CM10. Thank you kind friend!

just FYI - custom kernel will not work on sense and you will end up in a boot loop. Only titanium kiss works on sense.

[Q] TWRP Update path for One M8

Hello everyone and have a Merry Christmas,
I'm trying to update my TWRP recovery because I want to go 100% stock. I'm still running TWRP 2.7.0.2. The most recent version of TWRP is 2.8.3.0.
I downloaded the TWRP manager app from the Play store and easily selected the last available version of the recovery to install.
After downloading the .img file, I get a pop up that looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The pop up says: "Be sure that the listed path is correct for your device. An uncorrect check may result in bricking your device. You can't flash a recovery directly on Android on some devices. If you can't flash through Android, please choose a different method".
It looks like a "routine" alert, but nonetheless it sounds very alarming. How can I say if the listed path is the correct one for my device (HTC One M8 unbranded GSM international version)?
Thank you for helping.

why update twrp ? twrp is not stock ! and you can also fastboot flash it. oldskool way

Because the procedure to go stock requires some flashing and it was adviced to have the latest version running.
I'm not such an expert, I'm more the type who tries to read as much as possible before trying anything, and upgrading TWRP was a sort of "pre-step".
Also I'm not very keen to use fastboot: I got that it is great, but it is not very straightfoward for beginners.
The tool from the Play store seemed to do the job pretty good and easily.

What if I flash a custom recovery over a custom recovery? Is it possible to simply flash it and overwrite an already existing custom recovery?

there is no other way, the recovery will always overwrite the old one. its impossible to run 2 recoveries

Getting 5.x Lollipop Update on Rooted HTC ON M8 International

Hi all
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot find any information on this for the life of me and it's driving me mad.
I have a notification stating that my 5.0 OTA update is ready but I can't install it due to the Custom Recovery on my device.
I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376) and flashed the 'stock' (not actually Stock - every link it CWM or TWRP) recovery but it didn't work and the update still fails. I think I read somewhere that something is different about this particular update.. that you need to have an 'untouched'/never rooted device?
Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeease can someone steer me in the right direction so I can get this update sorted?
Thanks in advance.

have you made any system modifications to your current rom?
Also need CID and firmware version number
ALSO needs to be in Q&A (asked the mods to move)

Thanks for that.

ok so you have clean 3.29.401.9 stock rom installed, if not restore the nand available in my thread via TWRP. (may be best to do this as a fresh start)
Next install the 3.28.401.9 stock recovery.img from the first post in my thread.
hoprfully then u should be able to tale OTA automatically

every link is CWM or TWRP are stock Nandroid backup, not recovery.img
Look under Stock Recovery Images for the stock recovery

Thanks for your help, that seems to have done it.
The first time I didn't pay enough attention to my correct Software number (in my case 3.28.401.9). When I matched up my CID (HTC_001) I just picked a random link on that list which is why it didn't work.
Got it going now and back on custom recovery so thanks again for your assistance

You need the stock ROM (never rooted) and the stock recovery for OTAs to work.
You can find a stock TWRP backup of the ROM (change your recovery to TWRP first, obviously), and the stock recovery (for after you've flash the stock backup) in this thread.
Instructions are in the OP.

Thank you so much! I will try your solution!

Hello again, I tried to follow the instructions but I dont know which TWRP backup collection will work for my telcel (mexico) HTC m8... I am still lost at it... thank you again for your help

You need 1.12.600.20 backup which currently not available.
Make a request in my thread so I won't forget to search thru my hardisk when I'm home later. I believe I still have that 1.12.600.20 backup
Check my thread, the backup now available
Restore 1.12.600.20 backup
Install 4.32.600.2 stock recovery.img (as 1.12.600.20 recovery.img is not available)
then you can do OTA update to 4.32.600.2
The files are available at post #2 & post #4

HTC One M8s TWRP Install Issue.

Hello there I'm trying to flash my M8 to the LineageOS.
However when I try to boot into recovery with TWRP my phone just hangs on the HTC logo.
The bootloader is unlocked and the phone is currently on the stock OS.
I've flashed TWRP via ADB and the OneM8AllInOneKit, but still get the same issue.
My phones information is below if it helps anyone out.
Thanks for any help.

OneM8AllInOneKit won't work on your device. Anything made for M8 like twrp, LineageOS won't work on your M8s
Check here for anything that you need - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general

Use htc_fastboot, not fastboot when flash. There is twrp for m8s, look at the threads.

I've tried the htc_fastboot and got the right twrp for masrhmellow and the cwmod one also and it still hangs on boot to recovey any ideas?

There is no clockworkmod recovery for the M8s, that I know of (only for the M8, which is a different phone - different recoveries). So this leads me to believe you are still not flashing the right recoveries for the M8s; including the TWRP specifically for the M8s.

Reset

Try install stock rom and start all over again. You can find it here at xda. Can send you links later. Sitting on phone now.

Here is the link to stock rom.

Wrong version number, it doesn't match the OP's version. It will fail by version check.
He was able to get the phone working on Lineage, based on his other thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/htc-one-m8s-flash-boot-issues-t3736680
I'm guessing he had wrong version TWRP (not the one for M8s) and/or wrong LineageOS.
