Yes, you can flash that rom.
If your PC cannot see your M8 your out of luck with ADB. But just download the rom zip to a microSD, insert it, boot to TWRP and flash it. The microSD has to be fat32 for TWRP to read it.

Hi you really helped me a lot, I have the zip in /data/media/0/ path and whenever I want to install it it says failed.

/data/media/0? Isn't that internal SD? How did you get it there?
You should be able to flash it from the microSD by navigating to it under the Install menu in TWRP.
Mhhh, can you mount/unmount system and data in TWRP?

yes it is the internal, shouldn't it be there? I found the file there by following the tutorial about ADB that you sent me. Can I just install it from the microSD?
Yes there is an option to mount..

Hello all,
Since today i can't mount my SD card with my recovery. Is there a way to flash a new recovery without ADB ? I have tried 3 different SD cards. Ah, and my ROM won't boot. And i can't find the drivers for Android Flasher. So i am a little bit lost... Thanks in advance for your answers!
Ok i successfuly flashed a new recovery, and now i can mount my SD card. But now (after cleaning data/cache/davilk, and flashing a ROM) i have a black screen after HTC logo.

USB brick maybe? Did you flash 4ext recovery? If so you can use the usb unbrick feature under the tools section.

Hi there, I have been an avid Android user for years and also a keen XDA-developer! I have sold my HTC One M8 on eBay and today while I was trying to delete everything off it, I have completely soft bricked it. My TWRP is still installed however I cannot do anything with it. I have tried mounting a ROM onto an SD card then putting into the phone to flash, it fails. I have tried sideloading a ROM, it fails. This is the first time I have been unable to fix this phone, I've been at it for hours! Can someone please give me some help, it would be VERY appreciated!
How does it fail.

Thank you for getting back, when I am running the "adb usb" command, I receive "error: closed", I ran the adb sideload command after that to see where it would get me and it flashes to 100% and then warns me that no OS is installed. When I download a ROM to an SD card and attempt to install it I get the message "Error flashing zp '/external_sd/ROM2.zip"
Check the md5 of the ROM on the sdcard, ensure you have the correct TWRP installed, GSM, Sprint or Verizon.

I downloaded the ROM off the HTC website, a UK o2 4.4.2 version? That's what my phone was originally. I have the newest version of TWRP installed, version 2.7.1.0.
I didn't know the HTC website had ROM images, are you sure it's a ROM image?

Incorrect drivers, probably.
Try using a usb2 port.
Try unplugging your phone usb to pc, removing HTC software. Rebooting computer. Installing HTC software. Plugging phone into usb2.

Ok thanks! Last question, I found a stock international ROM for HTC One M8 - If I was to copy this to a SD Card then mount it to the HTC One, would it work?
I don't know what that means.
You can copy a nandroid backup to the right folder on the phone or sdcard and restore it with the correct recovery (twrp, philz, cwm, whatever the backup was made with).

I mean, I have downloaded a stock ROM for the HTC One, I'm just asking what would be the problem if I were to try and put that onto a SD card and then install the zip from the external SD card after I insert it into the HTC One.
In what form is this stock ROM? How do you intend to install it?

It's a 1.4GB zip file, I was hoping to use the "Install" feature of TWRP. I'm sorry if I'm coming across stupid I have been at this from 11AM this morning.
That should work, I guess.

It has flashed from what I can see however when I reboot the system it is directly booting into Bootloader mode, no matter what I press.
Dodgy ROM? Dodgy recovery? Did you check the md5 of both before flashing?
Hey guys,
I need help unbricking my HTC One X. I was trying to set up CM11 on it but I used CWM Recovery 5.0.8 instead of 6.0.4 that it requires. I managed to remove the stock OS and now it only loads bootloader or cwm recovery.
I downloaded the stock ROM and I'm now trying to install that via recovery. This is what I've been trying to send the file to the HOX -
I've been trying to use ADB to transfer files to the device but the device can't be found (List of devices shows up blank). However, it shows up in fastboot.
I tried connecting a USB OTG to it but I can't seem to find any option to install from external USB. I tried to mount USB but it gives me an error - E:Unable to open ums lunfile.
I tried running an RUU but that didn't work either.
I'm thinking that once I can see the stock ROM file through CWM recovery, it should be easy enough to install that. So what should I be doing to get the file onto the HOX or what other approach can I use?
Will help me out a lot!
Thanks!

Thanks a ton! I managed to flash CWM 6.0.4.8 on it and then I installed CM11 and then the GAPPS. The installation went through fine and I can finally see the CM load screen. However, I think I'm stuck in some sort of bootloop since it doesn't seem to get past the loading screen.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Things are looking up!

Hi guys
at first, sorry for my bad english, i'll try to explain my problem clear as possible.
I was triyng to install CM12 port but i've format data instead simply wipe.
Now, i've try to install .zip from SD but TWRP can't mount System.
Try with Odin to install stock rom but also failed.
Now, the only two things that i can do are boot in Download Mode or in Recovery.
Any help or idea?
Thank you All for you help.
Cheers.
Update:
Searching info about my problem, i've read that a possibility is a corruption of NAND.
I can't believe that a format data can kill emmc.
Well. What you can do is install a custom rom in twrp. When your in recovery, transfer a custom rom from your pc to your tab s. Then flash the zip rom in twrp. As you didnt mention your device model, find some custom stock roms in the tab s threads and download them on your pc to trnasfer over to the tablet.

You dont need adb. You can just drag the files over the to tab s.

Try using kies to install the firmware. Or try firmwares from other countries.

Eureka!
Thank you.
I've try a lot of stock firmware in Odin and finally i am able to use my tablet.
After that, i've try to install first CM12 from euphoros but unfortunatly didn't work.
Than, i tryed with CM11 build by Barracuda&Friends and everything gone perfect.
I can't figure out why the CM12 doesn't work like CM11 since there are both for SMT700 (i've the 705 but the CM11 for t700 work like a charm).
Well, at least everything goes fine.
Now, time to understand why i've problem installing CM12
Thank you for all!
i flashed new firmware to my htc one m8
I got into recovery and changed the name firmware file.
but now in the recovery it doesn't recognize my internal storage, kind of. it says 0 mb.
And when I try via adb to push a file to it it fails. (adb push filename.zip /sdcard/)
so it seems like i only have the external card now working.
what can I do?
I'm currently in the stage where i have the firmware file in the right name and it keeps asking me to update, if i remove the external card, i can get into recovery change the name, and then i see it won't read the internal storage like i wrote up here.
but after I change the name i can get into fastboot mode.
I currently have recovery mode - twrp 2.8.0.3
p.s I think my internal storage does work, cause i can go into recovery mode(twrp), my external_sd was formmated
before i used to update the firmware, so it has nothing except for that file
You're not flashing the firmware through recovery, are you?
No, i flashed, with the guide here, via an external card, changing the name of the firnware so the hboot would recognize it.. and update it

Do u have any suggestions?

I have TWRP 2.8.0.6. You can download TWRP manager from Play Store, it has a list of TWRP versions you can install. The app installs them too. Everytime I used the app to install it, it says it failed but it actually works, just install, then say ok to the failed install pop up and reboot into recovery and it'll be there.
Edit: As soon as the firmware has flashed successfully, boot up and delete the firmware file off of your external SD card so it doesn't keep asking you to update.

I have no OS now.
I need to download it, and flash it via fastboot. I'm wondering if that's the problem that the internal storage is giving me these problems or it has nothing to do with it.
Does a different firmware require different twrp versions?

Not as far as I know. Your best bet man is probably to download an RUU and just flash that through fastboot or the external sd card method. Then after that, flash the TWRP then put a ROM zip on your phone and flash that way.

No, an RUU is a complete system install. Completely stock with the exception of some RUUs contain root. But it will wipe everything on your phone, all your personal data and what not.
