I think I may have ruined my phone - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there
I want to start off by saying I have very little experience with rooting, but am very familiar with jailbreaking apple devices so I figured i could manage.
I have a htc one m8 on rogers network locked. I rooted it and had super user and all that jazz, then flashed AOKP. Then I thought i actually liked the stock HTC sense better, so I tried to "get things back to normal"...lol.
Now im at the point where if i turn my phone on it goes straight to the fastboot screen(?) with all the "fast boot, recovery, factory reset, etc". Since I'm super new to all of this is there anybody that can write some instructions on how to get my phone back to stock? I would really appreciate it after panicking over this for 3 days.
Edit: In the fastboot screen at the top it says ***Tampered*** ***Relocked*** ***security warning**
also when i try to press recovery it shows the htc screen for 1 second then back to the same menu
i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710735 but i cannot even get into recovery

While being an expert with rooting and flashing custom recoveries on Samsung devices, I am also new to the world of HTC. Out of curiosity, what happens when you hit factory reset?

Unlock the boot loader again then install twrp recovery then head over to the stock backup thread and flash one of the nandroids for your cid.

Do fastboot devices ... adb commands itself won't work in bootloader, it has to be fastboot commands.

now you have a locked bootloader which means you cant do anything.. so your first step is to unlock it again then flash a custom recovery (TWRP) after that flash the stock rom+ boot.img ( to be safe) make sure it boots. RELOCK the bootloader then flash your firmware.zip.. hope it helps

If it's in bootloader it should show in command prompt when you type fastboot devices after connecting it to PC. If it doesn't then there is a driver problem perhaps. Check to make sure you have HTC drivers installed, or reinstall them. Might as well make sure adb is up to date as well, can do that through the Android SDK Manager. Another possibility might be that the usb cable isn't working correctly, try another cable. Fact of the matter though is, if it's in bootloader and you connect it to the PC adb/fastboot SHOULD pick it up.
So check and fix those things. Also make sure you use the correct commands, in bootloader mode, it'll be fastboot commands, not "adb devices" but "fastboot devices" ... "fastboot reboot" etc etc. Also make sure you're running the commands from within the adb/fastboot folder path(just for in case yeah...)

Press Volume UP + Power button, once the screen goes dead, press Volume DOWN + Power button to get back into bootloader. Then flash a custom recovery (Like TWRP) and start flashing the Stock nandroid backups, can be found from here Collection of Stock backups

You didn't read any of my posts about that, did you? lol
I already stated adb commands like "adb devices" "adb reboot" etc will NOT work in bootloader, it'll work in the system and yes, it'll work in recovery for sideloading etc, but NOT in bootloader. For bootloader you HAVE to use fastboot commands, "fastboot devices" "fastboot reboot" "fastboot oem lock" "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" etc etc

Sorry I skipped past your first response, that makes sense now.
So I need to put the rom on my internal storage then go into recovery and install the zip using TWRP..but when I plug my phone into the computer the internal storage wont show up.
I do have sync manager installed also, and it wont show up in that either

With that adb devices command again in bootloader? Did you flash TWRP yet? If so, Got to Advanced >>> ADB Sideload >>> Swipe to start sideload.
Place the ROM.zip file in your adb folder then:
Connect phone to PC, while still in recovery mode type adb devices to make sure your device gets picked up, should show you the serial number for device AS WELL as "sideload" next to it, if so then you are hooked up right. Next type adb sideload name_of_zip.zip wait until fully finished.
If sideload fails for one or other reason you can also try to push it. Reboot to recovery again, type adb devices to make sure device gets picked up, type adb push name_of_zip.zip /data/media/0/ or adb push name_of_zip.zip /sdcard/ flash as per usual then.
Yet somehow I don't think you even need to go to these steps

I made a small mistake with the sideload though, it actually installs automatically as such you don't have to go back into recovery to flash, as it did it already, sorry. Edited post to fix.
Well as long as you can get into phone now to copy the nandroid backup to the phone all should be in order, can flash back stock from the nandroid then.
Glad it worked out then.:good:

Hello BerndM14, thank you for this baby steps. Mine m8 is a gpe version, it's 4.4.2 google rom, rooted, cwm recovery, s-on. I was trying to flash the full google 4.4.3 zip rom under recovery, however, after that, my m8 automaticlly enter recovery everytime reboot. And I can manually enter the bootloader, my pc can find the m8 both in recovery and bootloader. I searched this post, and do it accordingly, I download the gpe stock backup KOT49H.H16 - 1.16.1700.16 - CWM Philz touch and use adb sideload gpe3.zip to the cell phone sucessfully, then the recovery automaticlly starts installing rom, then, I got below message:
-- Erasing & formatting /system as ext4 (Unmounted system)
system partition formatted!
-- Mounting system partition for writing

Set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

Install from sideload complete.
then, I reboot it manually. problem still there, still enter the recovery automaticlly.
do you have any comments on this? please.

Problems rooting, adb etc.

Hello, I've tried rooting my Nexus 7 (2013) with LTE for like 5 hours now...
I've done every single thing in every single thread, and I still can't do ****.
I've tried the WugFresh root toolkit, but that did not work at all for me, I uninstalled and remove what they told me to do... But nothing worked, when I followed the WugFresh toolkit I lost usb mass storage... N7 did not appear at all on my computer, which it did, before I tried to screw with it...
I've tried doing it the manual way too, downloading all the drivers, uninstalling the other onces first.. But nothing... I could not even get the device listed in adb! I tried the full driver installation thing + automatic check if everything worked out, but the tablet would NOT run the script to reboot it into fastboot, and when I tried to restart the tablet into fastboot, and then continue to run the toolkit, it would start TWRP, the popup on my computer told me to flash something "!flashready", but I could not find it in the sdcard...
I unlocked the n7 manually, holding the volume button and power button down.
I know that was very bad written, but I'm a bit in a hurry. Anything I could do?

So the current condition of your device is that ADB is nonfunctional but you are able to temporarily boot into TWRP with fastboot - is this correct?

I'm not sure what this means. If you're using a toolkit, you're not doing it manually. Have you tried ADB and fastboot alone, without a toolkit? Is TWRP on your phone now? If so, you're done; just flash from recovery 1) a ROM for a custom ROM or 2) SuperSU.zip for just root.
If you don't have TWRP, does your Google boot screen has a locked icon at the bottom? If so: for ADB to work you need to have debugging turned on in your phone's developer settings. You don't need ADB though; just reboot into the bootloader by holding power and volume-down. Then type "fastboot devices" and see if anything shows up.
If it's an unlocked icon, just flash a recovery.img from fastboot.

The toolkit is using the command
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-deb.img
to temporarily boot it over the stock recovery. Since you unlocked your bootloader manually, you can replace the stock recovery manually too using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-deb.img

Fastboot is separate from ADB. Your fastboot is working if the toolkit is able to boot TWRP.
Code:
fastboot devices
is what you use while your device is in the bootloader.

[Q] Wiped Nexus, new rom didnt work, have nothing to restore to.

So I'm an idiot. I deleted everything off my Nexus 7 then I was going to flash to a new ROM, didn't work, I don't know why but it won't install. I have nothing else to install, not any other ROMs and no backups. To make the whole entire thing worse, my Nexus wont connect to my computer. Before you say to reinstall the drivers or plug it into another computer, I have, I've tried everything and nothing works. So my question is; Am I screwed or is there somehow a way to install a new ROM (seems impossible) or put the stock ROM back on? I tried the adb sideload method but I was completely unsuccessful as well as every other method I've seen/could come up with. After trying weeks to get anything back on my Nexus 7 I'm just about ready to toss this paperweight in my drawer and forget abaout it

Which modes can you get into?
TWRP allows you to mount USB OTG. Try flashing something from there.
Press Thanks If I Helped You!

Yes, like aniket0317 wrote: if all else has failed, put a ROM on a flash drive, connect it with a USB OTG adapter, and use TWRP.
I've lately had trouble getting my N7 recognized while in recovery mode, though everything's fine while in the bootloader and Android. But with TWRP it's easy to mount external flash storage and install from that.

download the 4.4.4 image
go to fastboot mode, connect the usb cable to laptop/pc
open command prompt and go to the folder where you have extracted the 4.4.4 image
fastboot oem unlock
type flash-all.bat
if all goes well device should reboot (initally will take some time) if it took more time, reboot again into fastboot mode
this time you can try manually commands one by one
in the folder where you have extracted the 4.4.4 image you will fine "image-razor-ktu84p.zip", extract this zip file as well
execute the following commands one by one:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

I am having the exact same problem, it was installing got stuck on "erasing userdata" for over 2 hours and now nothing will work except for fastboot, and some how the device locked itself again. Only thing i can get to is fastboot mode, the computer recognizes the device. When I try to unlock it, it gets stuck in "erasing userdata" I let it run over night last night hoping it would some how work with no luck. I am unsure of what to do. Is there anyway to install a factory OS without unlocking? Every guide I've searched for has me doing an fastboot oem unlock and then the tablet freezes on erasing userdata. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you are able to boot into fastboot, search the latest TWRP and flash it via adb. Connect your device while in fastboot mode and see if it recognize it.
If it does put the recovery file you have downloaded on your desktop and open a command window, press shift and right click at the same time and click on Open command window here.
Type adb devices, if you see a serial number go on and type adb reboot bootloader, then type fastboot flash recovery [ the name of the recovery file you have just downloaded ]
You can do this just by powering on your phone, no need to be already in fastboot mode, just follow the commands.
Press shift and right click : open command window here : adb devices : adb reboot bootloader : fastboot flash recovery [ the name of the recovery file you have just downloaded, do not forget the .img extension ]
fastboot reboot
Once you have a working TWRP you can flash your corresponding backup and go back to stock. The backup will be flashed from TWRP, search for instructions.

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 and click on the upper right Get TWRP for your device.
Choose your device recovery and download the adb version. That is the .img
Once you have downloaded TWRP put it on your desktop.
Connect your device with your laptop/pc with the unknown sources checked also the usb debugging checked.
Move your mouse over a free space on your desktop, click once just to be sure there is no app or file clicked.
Then press shift and keep it pressed while you right click your mouse.
Press open command window here
in that command window type : adb devices
if you see a serial number type : adb reboot bootloader
then type : fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
fastboot reboot
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8 : This is an example, you will write the name of your recovery but it should be pretty much the same.
Good luck.

Are you familiar with
adb/fastboot commands?

You say "pushing a ROM" with what?
You don't push a ROM with TWRP you just flash it.
Or are you talking about pushing the ROM with fastboot?
If you have TWRP than download a stock backup and flash it.
Take a long look at my profile man and if you look just right you will see I've done and asked some stupid things in my travels here on XDA.I can tell you I remember every phone and ridiculous thing I've done to each of them,I still feel crunchy when I think of the mistakes.

If you can't remember what you did, or at least even try to list in detail the steps you did as best you can remember; it makes it very hard for anyone to help.
Saying you followed some tutorials on an entire website (3 websites actually) doesn't tell us jack, and isn't any better than telling us nothing.
Its not even clear the current condition of the phone. Your OP says TWRP doesn't work, then a later post says you are trying things with TWRP, so presumably you have TWRP. But since you never stated that, we can only guess.
What happens when you try to adb push or sideload? What error messages, does it make the phone reboot, stuck on boot screen, etc?
TWRP working? Bootloader is unlocked? If yes to both of those, you should be able to just adb push a ROM, or put one on removable SD with a card reader attached to your computer. Than flash the ROM in TWRP.

Your device is M8 dual SIM .. mm-su-boot is for M8 single SIM, won't work on your device.
Install custom ROM with support for Dual SIM or restore your stock ROM backup

I recently decided to root and install a custom rom on my old stock sprint HTC one m8. I unlocked the boot loader via HTC Dev website. I then flashed the TWRP recovery. Since doing the latter step, it's been booting into fast boot all the time! Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your phone?

You only flashed TWRP onto the phone? Or did you root also?
Not nearly enough info to provide the proper help.
Please do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

What version SuperSU did you flash (if you got that far)?

Help I bricked my Oneplus 3

Hi, i played around with my new OP3, and i wanted to root it. Since i'm noob at rooting, it went wrong. (i did it with twrp)
So first it just went in to bootloop, then i was still able to get to rcovery and stuff, but i followed a guide to fix bootloop, and that ****ed it even more up. The guide i followedet told me to use "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool"
After using "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool", i now cant even go into recovery anymore, the only thing i can do is go to bootloader, but when i'm in bootloader now, it wont connect proberly, so that i can use "flash twrp", so that i can use twrp recovery.
Also when i try to boot it, it because of "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool" goes into something, where it says "md5 checksum failed", and then restarts and does it again and again.....
I hope it's not bricked forever, pls help ))

have you tried re-flashing the stock or twrp recovery with adb sideload command?
if not give it a shot, it might work.

Just boot into bootloader mode and through command prompt check if your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices. If its detected then you flash a new recovery again. Forget the toolkit, just look for instructions on how to install a custom recovery.

In fastboot mode, did you manage to find your device on the computer? On Linux this is "sudo fastboot devices", on Windows it should be roughly similar.

Hey!
I'm not the expert but I have played with my 1+3 enough to have some knowledge.
First of all, do not use "all in one tools", those do not put you in control.
Cool, so fastboot is detected, though you can't get into the recovery?
Step 1) make sure you have the latest version of "fastboot" and "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and unlock the bootloader. This tread should be helpfull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733
You need to do this, because otherwise we will not be able to proceed (i.e. the phone is to be 'unlocked' for what we are about to do).
Step 2) If you are ready than let's flash a new recovery (TWRP):
This is also step 2 in the thread mentioned above. Very important: "Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed."
So once you have flashed a new recovery using fastboot, than you should reboot your phone into the new recovery!
step 3)
Once in the new recovery (TWRP) go to advanced and to ADB sideload. Make sure your computer detects your device with the command "adb devices" and flash a new ROM. Just for simplicity use the official OOS 3.2.4.
This should do the trick. Before you go and try make sure you understand EVERYTHING I have written. Let me know if you have questions.

Bro, download 3.2.4 oos rom zip file from official link. Its around 1.3 GB. Just connect ur OP3 to computer. It will detect as MTP device.Im my computer it was in the name of RAIN Transfer the zip file to internal storage. Wipe cache. And select install option in TWRP and select the zip file u pushed and flash it. Best of luck..

Hey i have the same problem but this fix does not work for me.
So I have the bootloader unlocked and I can enter the bootload and my computer detects my device which is nice.
when I flash twrp on my phone trough CMD it doesnt work, my PC tells me that everything is okay but my phone will not boot into twrp and instead it will give me weird errors.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
this fix worked for me,
On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.
- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573
and then extract.
- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.
- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.
- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here
- type fastboot devices
- make sure your serial number appear.
- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.
- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.
- make sure you flash all the missing partition.
- type fastboot reboot.
this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.
unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA
goodluck mate. sorry for my english

Hmm bad try installing all op3 drivers and see whether phone is detected or not. I was in the same situation previously. Pushing zip through adp terminal is painful process. I got device offline first,after solving that i got service not recognized issue. For solving that usb debugging needs to be enabled i stuck in that step.

can you enter recovery trough fastboot mode? I.e. if you are in fastboot mode you van use the volume keys to select recovery.
100% sure you can't enter recovery?
you can try Fast and pro's option. let us know!

Oneplus 3 Boot Loop

So I tried to flash another rom by flashing TWRP and unlocking the bootloader, which worked and I then had installed Freedom Os. Then I locked the Bootloader to get the Message away, but know when you charge it or turn it on it is in an boot loop which repeats the Oneplus Logo what you normally see, but very short and after that it bobrates turns the screen off and it atart again. Or I can go into fastboot mode, but when I try to go into the recovery, it goes into the Boot Loop again. Is there a way to get the Original OS back? Ive already dopwnloaded it but I cant get in on there. Can you tell me how to fix it on my own?

[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 3 > METHOD 1

If you can access fastboot mode, connect the phone to a PC, then go to ADB and erase recovery using the command " fastboot erase recovery" and install TWRP 3.0.4-1 using the command " <fastboot flash recovery <recovery.zip/img> again.
Once you do that, boot into TWRP, go to wipe and wipe everything. Once you do that, transfer the stock OOS into the internal memory using copy-paste , then go to install , select the transferred file to install the OS or else go to advance setting in TWRP and select adb sideload and use the command "adb sideload <filename.zip>".
This should install the OS on the phone.
If you want to go complete stock, then you also need to install the stock recovery. Search the forum to get the relevent files or else you can download it from the OnePlus website and later on update to latest OS via OTA.
NEVER EVER LOCK THE BOOTLOADER , IF YOU'RE USING ANY ROM OTHER THAN STOCK OS AND STOCK RECOVERY

So i've downloaded the software, installed the driver and typed in cmd adb devices "adb devices List of devices attached" is returned, so it seems like there is going something wrong. Is it because the Driver is installed wrong or because "target reported max download size of 440401920 bytes
sending 'recovery' (22605 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.528s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.551s"
This is returned when trying to flash. Do I have to be in fastboot mode or something else to be able to follow your instructions? In Fast Boot is written that the Device State is locked and Secure Boot is enabled. I messaged Oneplus and hope they have a solution which can just unlock the Bootloader when being in fastboot mode, so everything is fine again. I hope you can help me, but I still wanna say thank your for now

Thank you, but it dont works because i forgot to re-enable the oem modification and usb debugging in freedom os, maybe there is an option to do this without having this enabled but I didnt found it. So I wait for a helpful answer from somebody here or from Oneplus, I consider sending my smartphone to oneplus to let them repair it if I cant do it. Just saying that modding an S3, Asus transformer pad and nvidia shield is way easier.

Shouldn't it still be possible to reflash the properly signed official updates? TBH I never had such a problem and thus never had to cope with it. Same with recovery: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img Try flashing this one with fastboot. It's the official one. By flashing this one you might fix your stuff over adb sideloading the official full update zips.

Try the unbrick guide provided in the 2nd post to your query. It should definitely help. Better contact OnePlus tech2 support and they'll flash your phone for you. They're really helpful.

The MSM Software disconnects the smartphone while the process works

U cannot flash in adb while the bootloader is locked, u can not unlock the bootloader unless u can access ur OS, I am not sure y people was trying to get u to flash via fastboot the answer was provided to u in the 2nd post

^^^ This!
It's pretty much obvious fastboot flash will not work with a locked bootloader.
It's pretty obvious unlocking the bootloader will not work, while one can not access the OS.
Unbrick tool is the only option to bring it back to life, or sending it for RMA. If unbrick tool fails, try using different drivers and make sure it is connected with the stock cable (I've only tried with a Nilkin cable besides the stock one, which always failed at different stages during the process).
Not even sure drivers must be installed manually, I've never done that myself on Windows 10, as they were automatically installed (3 different's PC's, both on x86 and x64).

Which version of stock firmware did you last have? If it was 4.0.1 or earlier, then you can use
Code:
fastboot oem 4F500301
to issue a flash command even without unlocking the bootloader. If you are on that, then use that command and flash stock recovery and then flash stock zip.
