Twrp recovery won't install most zip files - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The recovery has started playing up and won't install most zips that it was before. Any ideas?
I'm running the latest Twrp. 2.7.0.2
It won't install things like
Viper themes
Some roms
Under themes and apps there is sense keyboards
Viperfx
All these I have successfully installed before. It either says failed or when I swiped to install zip the recovery just reboots

Sorry I have recently lost my telepathic abilities after an interaction with a hexenbiest ... so if you dont mind:
What TWRP version do you have?
Your fastboot getvar all (remove IMEI)
What files you have tried to flash? Exact file name?
What is the exact error?

Same
Having the same problem with TWRP 2.8.1.0
AT&T M8
Had rooted GPE RUU, but now, nothing.
Tried flashing "Beyond Stock" (I now realize that it's a kernel, works differently)
Original Sense 6 ROM (m8-3.4.0-g278eae8.zip) in addition to radio (name escapes me), which all failed to zip from TWRP.
Error says "Error flashing zip (file location here)"

I did this because I had SIM problems after the Sieempi solution...

I bet those flashing issues come from a GPE conversion .... returning to sense need a system partition reformat (different sizes)

Put the splash RUU in and it still denies ROMS, especially stock.
Doing this 'cause SIM no work.

Thanks,

I would grab one of Hawk's stock Roms and flash it in philz's recovery.
But it sounds like your CID or something is screwed up.

I ended up fixing it with an RUU I found, however, when I try to install Viper 6.1.0 it successfully installs, but just boot loops. It will get to the htc logo, and just reboot.

I think you're using the wrong recovery, make sure that you've downloaded the the m7vzw version. I made this mistake the first time I went to download CWM.

[RESOLVED] Baseband Version/IMEI unknown

Hi friends,
I hope you guys are able to help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix my phone. So it all started when I flashed a radio that didn't work (I had SuperCID). After that, I tried different radios and flashed a radio that had the same version with my stock radio and none of them worked. So I decided to restore my phone to stock factory settings by downloading a stock backup from here (2.22.707.4 - TWRP Thanks to ckpv5) and the latest firmware from here (2.22.707.4_firmware.zip).
I flashed the firmware first twice, successfully and the restore the stock backup from TWRP and it got into a bootloop. However if i flash a custom GPE rom, it boots successfully but Baseband/IMEI becomes unknown.
I'm not sure what else to do now :crying:
I've tested installing a custom Sense based rom and GPE based rom, the Sense custom rom will get stuck in a boot loop but the custom GPE rom won't have issues. Except for the Baseband unknown version and IMEI unknown.

Good news!
I managed to resolved the issue by downloading the Taiwan (HTC__621 / 1.54.709.4): 1.15.2133156.UA14G_20.18n.4096.05L radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736921
Before I flashed the radio, I had configured my phone to SuperCID 11111111. I didn't clear any caches after the flash, not sure if that matters.
I haven't checked on why Sense roms are boot looping but I'm happy with a GPE rom without any issues. So I'll just stick with that for the time being

[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 ...

Don't Skip any flash all 7 of them
fastboot oem rebootRUU

Where to get latest firmware.zip for htc one m8

I have an htc one m8 ATT phone I want to install the ViperOneM8 5.02 rom on which says I need to update the firmware to a marshmellow firmware I think.
Or the latest.
While I have found some documentation how to do this on the net, I am not sure where I obtain these files.
The firmware.zip I believe it is
Help on this would be appreciated
Right now I am using hboot 3.16 and twrp 2.7
I found this link
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32780
and grabbed the 4.16.1540.8.zip but want to make sure I am grabbing the correct and latest version. Because I don't want to brick my phone
Post your fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
You may need a different firmware if it's AT&T & S-On and also don't use that outdated 2.7 TWRP.

For some devices, TWRP 2.7 is recommended due to how older boot loaders may not take it well.
I like TWRP. When its workable, its array of tools is superior to CWM. But after I tried 2.8.x, I decided CWM or TWRP at or below 2.7.0.2 is safer and less crash prone.
When I attempted to boot to recovery it would boot loop. Please be mindful of boot signing. If you so slightly make your OEM software notice things a fuse will make your phone implode.

Read again what he is trying to do man ... he's going to update to Marshmallow firmware and that outdated TWRP 2.7 won't work for him (he can't even install his intended ViperOneM8 5.02 ROM with that outdated TWRP)
..... that's why I said don't use that outdated TWRP

Good point. For some odd reason CM pairs ROMs and Recoveries. If you check the Dev Auto update option would that be unnecessary.
It's been an itching question I actually had...

I originally had twrp 2.8 on and tried to install the latest. But it was freezing because I think I need a newer version of hboot. which I have 3.16 on it.
I then downgraded to 2.7 to get it working. I installed ViperOnem8 Rom not reading the website successfully. but have issues with wifi, and 2 minute boot times.
"The 5.0.x ROM is based on HTC’s latest M8 Sense 7 Android 6.0.x base and requires you to update your firmware to at least the 6.0.x (Marshmallow) version! If you don’t you will run into some issues such as Wi-Fi not working or No Boot, etc.
We cannot install the firmware for you during ROM installation so you will need to take the steps to update the firmware on your own."
So I need to update my firmware. I have an ATT S-ON phone. But I have no clue where to get the firmware from, and make sure it is the right one and recent.
I need to update my firmware in order for this rom and a newer version of twrp to work correctly
ok, so
I upgraded to 3.11.1700.5 firmware I found. and that was successful.
Then I upgraded my twrp to twrp-3.0.2-0-m8 and that was successful
Now I am trying to install either Revolution Rom, or ViperOnem8 and both have the same problem. After install they keep booting into twrp and won't load.
I tried Cynamod and that installed and booted fine.
I believe both Revolution and Viper use the Aroma installer. Anyone know what is going on with these and a fix to stop it from booting into twrp?
Need advice

Wrong firmware. You installed an old version of GPE firmware.
You can't install Sense ROM like Revolution and Viper on GPE firmware.
I asked you to post fastboot getvar all to help you but it seems that you made it harder now because you installed a wrong firmware. If it is S-Off, then it is easy to fix.

First - remove all serial & imei no. from your above post.
As I said, it is not easy to fix this with S-On device. What you can try is to install the latest AT&T 6.20.502.5 firmware first then run 6.20.502.5 RUU
Read this for the firmware and how-to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66886759&postcount=23
You can get the RUU here : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/

so your saying, install the ruu, update the firmware, then re install viper?
Can't I just update the firmware like I did before? It was S-On before I updated the firmware
The ruu won't install. it says needs more then 30% battery, yet it is fully charged

No .. I don't say that ... read again ...
Flash firmware.zip first then RUU ...
or install ROM first, don't reboot the system, but reboot to bootloader, relock bootloader then flash firmware.zip
As you already flashed a wrong firmware, as I said this may work and may not work but the only way that you can try to fix the wrong firmware installed.

Because you have wrong firmware installed.
but with what firmware.zip? I never got the right firmware.zip to begin with so I don't have any firmware files to update with

That show you don't read all the posts that I posted .. the firmware.zip is posted in the post that earlier posted
You have to wait for someone else I guess who can write a post that you can understand .. maybe my English is not good enough ... good luck

ok .. now that I understand what you are saying. because you had the RUU .exe and also were explaining how to update the firmware at the same time while the firmware was burried a couple of levels of posts, I didn't understand what you were saying.
so it looks like the firmware updated successfully

I unlocked the firmware through the htc website with the Unlock_code.bin
because fastbook oem unlock didn't work.
had to reinstall twrp and that worked after reinstall. although lots of mounting file system errors. with /Data I don't know if that's normal.
seems to be fixed after formatting
Now I will try installing a rom

Now you got it.
And yes, after changing from GPE to Sense GSM (AT&T) firmware, you need to reinstall TWRP (the latest 3.0.2-0) and you MUST format data partition, in TWRP - select WIPE, Format Data - yes ... because GPE & Sense data partition is of different size.
Please where can i get compatible firmware for my htc one m8s with S.O 1.12.1405.6 . I have been on this over 3 weeks now but all no avail.

HTC One M8 return to stock s-on

I had previously put custom crDroid 7.1.1 . I've been trying to return to stock with s-on. I've tried methods from different threads on here specifically: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/guide-restore-european-htc-one-m8-to-t3072235

Try using this RUU instead.
Scroll down to the Manual System Update Instructions and read them. The RUU download is at the end of the instructions.
I've tried that. Unfortunatley it doesn't work.

Doesn't work how? "Doesn't work" doesn't help me/us to figure out what your issue is and how to fix it. When you run the RUU and it doesn't work, what error message are you getting?
it says, " The ROM Update Utility cannot connect to your Android Phone. Check your usb cable......."
I have the drivers installed

Maybe you should have read to the bottom of the instructions in the link I gave you, where it says with your issue you should boot to bootloader/fastboot and run the RUU from there.

But i have a question,have you relocked your bootloader before running the RUU.exe ?

No I didn't

that's why the RUU didn't work for you
next time you need to use the RUU you should relock the bootloader first ( for s-on devices )
using this command
fastboot oem lock
then flash the RUU in fastboot mode ( use the same android version or higher ( for s-on devices )
