First of all , Hi everyone ! And please excuse my english, it's not my native language... (wich is French)
I did not want to brick my HTC One (m8) so i went here before to do something wrong.
I received my phone the first august and I rooted it 5 days ago, when it was in kitkat 4.4.2. I did not know that i had to update it to 4.4.3 (even if every man in earth should use his brain and do the update) before to root it.... (because now i can't install custom rom to use link2sd efficiently because all of the best custom rom (that actually use .ext partition on Micro Sd card) are in android kitkat 4.4.3 or 4.4.4)
I know that this question has been asked several times but i did not find the answer for my problem, so i'm really sorry to ask this but i have to.
Okay I rooted my htc when it was in 4.4.2 with TheUnlockr methode on youtube and since then the only things that I did is :
install busybox (twrp) , es explorateur, titanium backup, diskdigger,airdroid,apptoide,root checker, lucky patcher and clean master, NOTHING else.
Now i have to unroot my HTC to finally update it to 4.4.3
Problem is : when i do "getvar all" with hasoon200's toolkit (i'm following TheUnlockr's method to unroot the phone correctly), the field where i should find my version-main is EMPTY, and I absolutly don't know how to find it since I'm a total beginner on android.
My info : HTC ONE (m8)
Rooted with kitkat 4.4.2 (TWRP recovery)
actual software in : 1.54.401.10
cidnum: HTC__203
By any chance , can anyone help me ? THX 3000 times in advance since i'm totally lost !
That NOTHING else appears to include installing TWRP 2.7.1.x, which is where the problem lies, I don't know how to get it back, other than to reflash the firmware... Catch 22 if you don't know what it is.
Perhaps narrow down with a search of MID, CID and radio version.

FIRST: you should delete your IMEI from your post above!
Second: it is a known issue with TWRP that, after installing it version-main is no longer shown in bootloader, as already statet in this thread.
If what you wrote is correct you are on 4.4.2 with FW 1.54.401.10.
To unroot you could search for the unsupersu.zip and install it with TWRP.
After this you can download stock recovery 1.54.401.10 (assuming you data is correct and you are on the given Android version. This should enable you to receive AND install OTAs again.
The problem is, that without S-Off it is not that easy to flash the actuall FW again.

Ok you are S-Off and got 4.4.2 with ROM version 1.54.401.10 installed right!?
If so install the unsupersu.zip in TWRP and download firmware for ROM version 1.54.401.10. After you installed the unsupersu.zip reboot to bootloader and run the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip nameoffirmware.zip
DO IT AGAIN TO FLASH IT CORRECTLY!!!
fastboot flash nameoffirnware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Make sure OS is showing in Hboot. HBoot should be 3.16 and radio 1.16 if I remember correctly.
Congrats you are back to full stock. Reboot phone and check for OTA.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
The bug within TWRP has been identified, a fix has been submitted to the Gerrit of TWRP and it was also already verified and accepted.
The Next update of TWRP for the M7 and M8 should include it, if it's being build from the main tree.

This isn't even a similar issue as the OP, and this thread is 2 months old. Really shouldn't have dug up this old thread and posted to it. A different thread, or starting your own would have been more relevant.
Rooted phones still get the OTA notfication and download, they just won't install if it detects any system files have been modified.
Also, relocking the bootloader is not necessary to get the OTA or install.
Something else is going on. If you are stock ROM and stock reocvery, thre is no reason you shouldn't get and be able to install the OTA. Sometimes a factory reset will prompt the OTA to come through, for no explicable reason.

You should check around the forums to see if your specific version has had 4.4.4 rolled out. But I know most (if not all) Euro versions have been updated by now.

Your issue is no more urgent than anyone else here, that takes the time to post to an appropriate thread.
Seeking quick answers and not researching anything will always lead to more issues and maybe serious ones.

Hi. My phone has had issues with not being able to be mount backups on TWRP and have tried everything to fix the problem with no luck. I read somewhere on a post that the only way I can fix my problem is to relock my bootloader and flash a RUU which I'm in the process of doing now. This all started when I accidentally deleted my system files (which was stupid) in TWRP. Have I screwed up and will I be able to flash the RUU onto my phone.
NEVER do anything until you got the correct files. Who says there is a RUU ? we need info.....
Post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar all (and del the IMEI & SERIAL)
Can you enter the bootloader and the recovery ?

Thanks for the quick response, it's really late right now but hopefully I can post those details tomorrow morn. I can enter bootloader/hboot which my computer recognizes. Though I have relocked the bootloader which I can easily unlock, it's status is relocked. My recovery (TWRP) was killing me though as every time I pushed a file through adb which was received the bloody program spat out an error every time about being unmountable to the system and cache. I know I shouldn't have rooted my device if I didn't know what I was doing and what did you mean about not having the correct files? I did have a cm11 stable backup but that wouldn't "mount to disk" either. From what I have heard I think this is a soft brick which would mean it is repairable? Or is it just a lost cause?
Also if this helps, I am s-on and wiped my dalvik, cache, data and accidents the system. I also have a 32 gb sd card installed on the device.
Cool. The easiest way is to unlock the bootloader, load a rom.zip (preferably) a sense 6 (close to stock rom like arhd or maximus) and perform a full wipe in the recovery and install the rom.zip via the recovery (external sd)
See if there are any errors in this process

Tried this, if I try to load a rom onto my m8 it will automatically fail. The rom is not able to be mounted to anything. I also tried flashing a boot.img to try to get it to startup but it also failed from the same reasons as flashing a sense base rom and cm11. Also before I cleared the system partition I had a gpe rom installed if that helps.
Was it a complete gpe or just a Rom? Also if Roms are failing to install get the sdcard from the phone and use a card reader...then put the zip on it and flash it..normally a boot.img fastboot should be flashed without problems
Read this thread carefully, it has info about not mounting issues !

There is an RUU for the AT&T Variant online. I used it to restore my M8 back to stock. There is a link here, you just got to look for it.

LOL People rely on having a ruu to much. Good luck in finding one for him. Since he is s-on it has to match his official main too because downgrading is not an option (with a ruu)

GOD YES!, i've somehow managed to get the bloody device to boot up but now its stuck in a bootloop. I think i opened up a custom rom extracted the boot.img file and flashed it to something (not sure what). Does this mean i have to manually replace each partition (data, cache, system ect.) with a part of a rom?
I would install a fresh rom via the sdcard.
And you "think" you opened a rom.zip and flashed a boot.img ? Seriously .....

Unfortunaly the problem still persists (log) ;
E: Can't mount /sdcard
E: Can't mount /data
E: Can't mount /cache
E: Can't mount /system
Installation aborted.
I really don't know how i've gotten to this point, should I just take my phone back to the manufacturer for repair?

No you need to PM the guy with the mkfs file and fix that first.
ok just pm'ed him, hope he can respond soon. As for the state of my phone, is it soft or hard bricked? I just can't tell the difference because other people in the same situation as me have given up.
Its soft......as long as you can reach the bootloader it could be fixed.

Good morning guys.
I am wondering if anyone is able to help me before i go completely nuts trying to work this out. (I also hope its ok to make a new thread)
A few weeks ago i rooted my M8 following the steps on this website (htconeroot. - how-to-root-htc-one-m8/) with no issues at all. Unlocked the boot loader and also there is the software tag saying modified (my understanding is this is normal). Installed the custom recovery with no drama.
A couple of days ago i got the OTA notification that i can now download 5.0.1 (Happy days) however this is where i seem to be running into problems. I know that i need to revert to the stock recovery from TWRP and then from here need to relock the boot loader to install the OTA update. I think my main problem is that i don't know what version of the stock rom i need to install. I have tried a few but none of them will boot into recovery from the boot loader.
So this is where i am.
Boot loader works fine and will run fast boot and boot to custom recovery - does state that the OS - (Blank)

The last stock recovery that i put on the phone was (3.29.161.5 recovery.img) this then would allow me to start the phone and run the OTA update. From here the phone will restart and start the update but after about 20/25% the phone will crash displaying a picture of the phone with a red triangle and upside down exclamation mark. I read somewhere that if this problem happens to erase the cache and it should fix the problem but it didn't.
Could anyone please point me in the correct direction or help me solve the problem i am having.
Do i need to ?????
1) install the correct stock recovery (if so could someone please help me find the correct version)
2) Flash the stock rom from HTCDev (no clue how to do this with fast boot and if it will restore the recovery)
3) Give up on OTA and look for a custom 5.0.1 flash and use TWRP to flash from recovery.
Thanks so much for any help.

Maybe this one works? This is the 3.29.161.9 recovery. It's from my VODAPE17 cid
1: download the ota, take out the firmware.zip and in that zip is a recovery.img. that is your correct stock recovery that you need.
2: go to the general section - collection of backups and firmwares. Have a read there and look for your cid in the list with backups.
Please do not relock the bootloader that is not needed for an ota !
And delete your serial !
I was forgotten to paste the url: https://mega.co.nz/#!nZkCWZAL!djqZnzAlVfHslzWJxUxvW5cLKHdI9BIhr_uxzjFxbng
I also have this Problem with my M8 (3.29.166.9). I also flashed the new recovery from the OTA, but when i flashed the OTA, the recovery wrote Status 7 error ...
New download of the OTA doesn't worked..
Any Idea ?

Hi onkel.
the process i went through was as follows.
1) force download the OTA from swisscom and copy off to computer.
2) do what Mr Hofs said above and extract the ROM and dig out the recovery.img
3) reset with fast boot - (fastboot reboot-bootloader)
4) flash recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) fastboot reboot
7) install OTA from within booted OS
8) wait.......
Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem guys.
@Mr Hofs if you would like the OTA update or recovery.mg please let me know.

3) reset with fast boot - (fastboot reboot-bootloader)
4) flash recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) fastboot reboot
7) install OTA from within booted OS
8) wait.......
Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem guys.
@Mr Hofs if you would like the OTA update or recovery.mg please let me know.

Back to stock problem
Hello,i have a similar problem. I did everthing as you,rooted,custom recovery and unlock bootloader on htcdev,all to try out custom roms like arhd and so on. But i didn't do a nandroid backup,because i'm a fool and didn't know what i was doing. When i wanted to go back to stock i tried flashing 3.29.161.9 as it's similar to our stock rom but had no luck,still no updates. When i go to fastboot my os says os-3.29.166.9,so clearly there lies i problem. i need i stock 3.29.166.9 nandroid backup so i can go to stock. i've downloaded the recovery you uploaded and put it in 3.29.161.9 rom but no luck. So can you please upload a 3.29.166.9 nandrod backup. Thanks in advance. And mister Petert87 and Mr Hofs if you have any idea how to solve my problem please tell can you tell me. Cheers guys

Are you running a rooted stock ROM when your phone now not working ? If yes, can you install TWRP recovery and make backup of the system part only. Then upload it for me, I'll try to fix it. I've done this many times with other rare ROM like WIND, Taiwan version, Optus, Telstra and many more.
If possible, just PM me the link.. this is the only way that I can help you and @dexterts

No. I don't have because I can't find any version nandroid for x.xx.166.x anywhere out of XDA

Yes ... change CID and flash EU WWE RUU if you want it on .401
If only firmware, you can restore a EU WWE backup and do OTA .. but for now only lollipop the latest and there's already lollipop RUU, you can check EddyOS thread for RUU method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I have.
My htc M8 was rooted and insertcoin was flashed onto it however the wifi button greyed out and wouldnt turn on in order to s-off it. I tried several different roms and they all have the same problem. I am currently running skydragon v5. I have been trying to sort this phone out for a week and I am getting absolutely nowhere so any help would be appreciated. It's on ORANG001 and is s-on.
Thanks
You have old firmware. You need to have 4.19.61.2 on ORANG001 in order to have wifi on these ROM.
And you post this in wrong section.

Apologies, new to the forum it's been moved now!
Yeah .. requested it to be moved to correct section.
So .. you need to restore your stock ROM and do OTA up to 4.19.61.2
What's your current firmware version .. 3.33.61.9 or 2.26.61.1 ? Or even lower ?
Check what's written on bootloader - hboot 3.16 or 3.18 .. you need 3.19

That's a very low version ... you need to restore to stock backup 1.54.61.5
But I deleted my TWRP backup for most 1.xx.xxx.x only keep 2.x; 3x & 4x
There is someone else backup made with Philz recovery so you need to download Philz recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
then download the backup : https://mega.co.nz/#!WhwRmSoJ!QJxmI0gYj7t_0Hc4fMKx0XLYQ2n45S3OfrEcDRS3C-s
restore that backup with the stock recovery (included in that backup if I'm not wrong)
then do multiple OTA

I was trying to adb push the firmware to my phone to then install it on Recovery but when im typing "adb devices" it says list of devices attached then it is blank. I have been trying to search for solutions but I cant seem to fix it. If you have any advice it would be much appreciated. Thanks
Has anyone got an idea?

This is usually an issue on the computer's side (PC?). Try to re-install HTC drivers, try another USB port, or another cable. Also, if you have USB 3.0, this is known to cause issues with adb connectivity (apparently, you can disable this).
Also, you need to be booted into OS or in recovery for adb to work (does not work in bootloader) and you need to have USB debugging activated in Settings.
And when you say "firmware" I think you mean a nandroid backup, based on the instructions previously given to you? Be careful using the term "firmware" here, as most folks use that term to specifically mean the firmware.zip that contains hboot, radio etc. (but not ROM).

Don't you have a MicroSD ? Put the extracted nandroid on MicroSD at the right location clockworkmod\backups\ is easier than doing that ADB push.
Okay finally got the nandroid backup installed. Then when i tried to install the OTA update it took me to CWM and failed. So i then relocked and tried again to update OTA and it took me to the bootloader with a ***Relocked*** and *** Security Warning*** any ideas ?
You need to re-install the stock recovery in order to OTA. Bootloader lock has nothing to do with it (will OTA with unlocked bootloader).

Stock ROM backup and stock recovery are two different things.
You need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to replace the CWM that you have now. Inside the backup zip, there is a recovery.img .. take this out and fastboot flash it.
You need to unlock bootloader to flash it.
when using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using the recovery.img from the unzipped nandroid folder the process runs and it says okay with no errors then when i try go into recovery the red triangle and exclamation mark appear again

Yes that's stock recovery. Perform the ota now
Because that is stock recovery. You don't need to get into recovery.
Just reboot, check OTA, download then select install.
Let the system do the installation on its own

Okay..............
I'm, not sure why. Both will do the exact same thing, it's just the method of flashing that is different.
.exe is like downloading software for your PC. You run the .exe and the install wizard takes care of the rest.
If you use the .zip, you can either fastboot flash it, or use the SDcard method to flash

Yes.
Plug your phone into your PC, double click the download, and follow the prompts.
But if you are S-On, you will need to relock your bootloader first. In fastboot: fastboot oem lock then run the RUU
EDIT: I should also say just in case you don't know, running the RUU will wipe your device, so be sure to backup anything that is important to you first

Great :good:
If you ever want to install a custom ROM, make sure you install custom ROM with Sprint support.
Never flash a GSM firmware on it as it will brick the radio and may brick the device too due to different partition layout.
