Help: Bricked Htc one M8 GPe - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I started to play around with all the diff things you can do with a rooted phone had plans for getting a custom ROM for my phone. Let me stat by saying that I am very new to all this.
I day ago i was getting ready to install the custom ROM for viper (ViperOneM8_1.7.1) reason being is coming from a htc one m7 with sense i wanted to get back to sense from my stock GPe m8.
I was able to unlock my bootloader and get my phone rooted I fallowed this video (How to Root your HTC One M8 - Full Guide) From Sakitech... or least I think im rooted still... I'll come back to you as to why I say "I think I'm rooted".
I thought it would be very simple just fire up the custom recovery and flash the ROM and sit back while it flashed, well everything went down hill from this point. Let me tell you what i did.
First i got to the custom recovery and I did a wipe I did advanced wipe and checked the boxes this is where I think I deleted the OS(after this I could not get back on the phone to do anything only will boot to recovery and it say no OS installed then asks if I want to get SuperSU installed this is where I already thought I was rooted but maybe on not??? I'm very confused about that
Then I used the sideload method to push the rom zip and try to flash the rom at this point I cant get it to flash. First I was getting the MD5 error I checked that off now it will just fail either saying error executing the binary from the zip or that zip is corrupted. (I tried re-downloading the ROM even from mirror link)
At this point I am very frustrated and feel helpless. I tried my best to keep from posting this and try to research to see if i can find the solution myself but I'm having no luck I have my days off from work to get my phone up and running or ill just have to go but another phone. At this point I really need some help. All I want is a working phone if i can get back to GPe stock that would be fine or make the ViperOne work.
Attempts to solve my problem: I tried flashing GPE4.4.3_m8.zip and other stock GPe ROMs nothing works
Thanks for reading and all your help I will sit nest to my comp and answer anything to try make everything as clear as possible. Thank you again

So I tried ViperOne again and it was starting to install but then fails. I searched around and I found that i need to have s-off to be able to install the ROM.
Can I get s-off from the recovery or bootloader/fastboot?

Try this :
Do a full wipe in the recovery, install viper rom but do not choose to do a full wipe in the aroma installer. Once finished you flash the boot.img via fastboot and then reboot the phone.
You do not need s-off to flash custom roms. But the GPE thingy can be the problem....

try that command, and what model did you have originally and did you convert to gpe or flash a gpe ROM.

gave me an error
Code:
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Its a stock Google play edition I bought from the Google paly store, I didnt flash any other rom the ViperOne rom was going to be the first flash on the phone

Do you have an SD reader on your laptop? You can buy a big SD that you can put a small SD card inside it, then put the ROM zip file inside the SD card, after that plug it in your M8 and flash it via twrp.
Let me know if you couldn't understand any point cuz my English is not that good.

Correct command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
status 7 means you don't have right recovery for that ROM
Also search about Stock GPE partition layout, is it same as normal non-GPE. I doubt it as I seen somewhere about people do full conversion to GPE, they need to reflash firmware to correct the partition for Sense ROM. This is what I understand from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589

I have researched about the partition layout and I think you are right. How do i get the right partition layout? this is all a learning experience for me lol. I just hope i can get my phone working again.
In thats case then i might be worse off then i though my phone is s-on an there is no way for me to get it s-off in its current bricked state... to the the Ruu to install
correct me if im wrong but then what i have to do is just flash the stock rom for gpe beacuse since my phone was already stock GPe the the frieware(partition layout) will apcct it... right?
I want to thank everyone at the this point it looks like i have a lot of learning to do. Thank you

Follow the link in the post you quoted:

You should really read carefully before doing stuff with your phone, especially when you are unexperienced.
If you are unsure about anything, ask before you try messing with something and hope that it will work.
You didnt, and now you have the mess.
But now even now you are not able to follow the instructions people are giving you.
In the post you just quoted there are instructions how to go from GPE to Sense and also back (#1 and #2 post)

So out there no way to get back to stock rom now. Custom roms are good, but it suddenly unstable for now. may be 1 month or more. I just want to go back for stable and good battery. that is all i need for now. another help please?

where r the experts? really need help flashing "PJ46IMG_1.29.709.12.zip" stock rom

where r the experts? really need help flashing "PJ46IMG_1.29.709.12.zip" stock rom
Folks, my RUU does not exist or leaked at all, after months of searching i managed to get its "PJ46IMG_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_TW_1.29.709.12_Radio_1.1204.107.14_release_261362_signed.zip"
i have no USB-Y cable, and it's really hard to get it in my country.
so is there any workaround to flash this rom? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
also please note that MY RUU DOES NOT EXIST at all common servers, unless if some one has it so may be he can share it to restore my mobile back to stock.
If that is truly a signed zip and the correct one for your device then do the following
Make sure you have plenty of battery and re lock your bootloader and have stock recovery
Boot to fastboot
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
new screen should appear with HTC logo
Fastboot flash zip nameofdownloadedfile.Zip
It will take a while to send and if the info all matches up your phone will perform the steps exactly the same as the ruu

[Q] HBoot Relocked, S-ON, Root, trying to upload stock ROM

Hello,
Im having reallly big problem with my Desire HD device and unfortunately,I realize this is only my fault and inadvertence. Im hoping that someone will help me with my problem...
First of all, I've had stock 2.3.5 on my device and every possible blockade. I've used Downgrade_v2 files (with adb and Gingerbreak and 1.32 stock android) but it wasn't working as it supossed to do. I've found nice tool to unblock DHD, called EasyAceRootTool. Everything went OK, new H-Boot was uploaded, unblock process went smoothly, Revovery Touch was uploaded to DHD as well, Superuser was installed too.
And at this level I've hurried too much, because I've installed by recovery new rom on Android 4.0.4 , this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004
And of course... I know now iVe forgot to make S-OFF, android doesn't start, nothing happens at all....
My Hboot now says :
Hboot :
***Relocked***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.0020029
RADIO -26.14.04.28_M
Ive tried a lot of soutions
1)Install PD98IMG.zip on sdcard (2 different stock roms) but when Bootlader is checking image, it says, that newer android is already on device
2)Install RUU, It says that there is a problem with Hboot and i need to wait for upgrade
3)Install PD98IMG.zip (pulled out from stock RUU) by recovery, it says that this image is "bad"
4)Restore backed up adnroid from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876&highlight=hboot, from section "Install stock Vodafone ROM", but it didn't helped as well, it says MD5 checksum failed...
5) When im trying to unlock Hboot in EasyAceRootTool, it communicating with device, but then it says : "Your device is not recognized"
Please guys... what else should I do ??
ps. I know there's a lot of grammatic mistakes, sorry for that. I was trying to check what I was writing

Wait, no. Flash the ROM from recovery. You can't flash zips like that in fastboot. You can flash ROM images, but it makes more sense for you to get a recovery and flash zips instead.
If you don't have a recovery, first you need to install one. If you have a rooted ROM, you can install a recovery from apps: ROM Manager for ClockworkMod, 4ext Updater apk (from 4ext's website) for 4ext, and GooManager for TWRP. If you don't, download a recovery.img and flash it from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
If you do, just go straight to flashing the zip from recovery. Then,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
.

What are you trying to do?? If you have an unlocked bootloader a RUU will never flash. Besides, being S-ON requires the specific RUU for your device.
If you have CWM and an unlocked bootloader, you can flash any custom rom in recovery but need to flash boot.img after flashing the rom.
You can't flash apks in recovery, only zips. Then fastboot flash the boot.img.

Ok, I was trying to put this device on feet, because it wasn't load any ROM I was flashing. There's a lot of tools and tutorials that I was reading before flashing DHD on xda and other forums. I was convinced, that I need S-OFF to use custom ROM. Few minutes a go I flashed Sabsa-Prime ROM by Recovery, then i searched for boot.img in Sabsa_Prime_v16.0_By_AlirezaB.zip, flashed it in fastboot, anddddd tadaaam...Everythings working perfectly
Thank You gyus, I really appreciate your help !! I was really stuck on this device...
Best Regards !
I need help...NOOB!!!

And at this level I've hurried too much, because I've installed by recovery new rom on Android 4.0.4 , this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004
And of course... I know now iVe forgot to make S-OFF, android doesn't start, nothing happens at all....
My Hboot now says :
Hboot :
***Relocked***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.0020029
RADIO -26.14.04.28_M
Ive tried a lot of soutions
1)Install PD98IMG.zip on sdcard (2 different stock roms) but when Bootlader is checking image, it says, that newer android is already on device
2)Install RUU, It says that there is a problem with Hboot and i need to wait for upgrade
3)Install PD98IMG.zip (pulled out from stock RUU) by recovery, it says that this image is "bad"
4)Restore backed up adnroid from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876&highlight=hboot, from section "Install stock Vodafone ROM", but it didn't helped as well, it says MD5 checksum failed...
5) When im trying to unlock Hboot in EasyAceRootTool, it communicating with device, but then it says : "Your device is not recognized"
Please guys... what else should I do ??
ps. I know there's a lot of grammatic mistakes, sorry for that. I was trying to check what I was writing

[Q] HTC One M9 Dev edition update question

Hey guys, I just received notification about update my htc to 5.1. However my htc one m9 is currrently rooted, unlocked, and s-on. If I update my htc without unrooted and locked my phone, will it be bricked? And if it works, after i update it, will root be lost ?

You can't take an OTA when rooted. You won't brick your phone but it just won't work. Did you follow the instructions in the TWRP thread when you installed it to make a system IMAGE backup prior to rooting?
See post #3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
Otherwise, you will need to run the Dev Edition RUU to return to stock (caution: this will wipe your internal storage) before you can take the OTA.
Or, you might do a search to see if anyone has a system image backup you can restore using Captain Throwback's instructions in post #3 above.

Thanks for the reply, no I didnt follow the instructions because I followed youtube video on how to root and unlocked my phone. Do you mind explaining to me how to run the Dev Edition RUU to return to stock? Thanks

1) Download dev edition RUU.zip
0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_L50_SENSE70_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.32 .617.30_Radio_01.01_U11440221_62.05.50320G_F_relea se_427069_signed.zip
link locate here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/att-developer-edition-ruu-how-to-t3086948
2) Download htc_fastboot.exe and place it in your adb fastboot folder
the link to this file is also in the above link
3) backup everything on INTERNAL STORAGE - this WILL be wiped during this process
4) make nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong
5) reboot phone to download mode
6) connect computer to phone
7) type "htc_fastboot flash zip <NAME OF ZIP.zip>"
8) Wait until the process completes
You are now back to stock, but will have an unlocked bootloader
Boot into system and try to download and install OTA. If it fails to install, i think that means you need to re-lock bootloader (boot to download, "fastboot OEM lock"), then try to download and install the OTA again.
Once the OTA starts to install, be patient. It takes a very long time (maybe 30 minutes or more).
After the update completes, you should follow the instructions in post #3 of this thread to make a system image backup so you don't have to wipe everything to take the next OTA. If you ahve any questions about that process, you should ask them in the TWRP thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720)

First, what file is that? You need to flash "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_L50_SENSE70_ATT_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.32 .617.30_Radio_01.01_U11440221_62.05.50320G_F_relea se_427069_signed.zip" first. It's OK to rename it, but make sure you know what you're flashing.
Second, flash in download mode, not ruu mode. "Adb reboot download"

Does it boot into system right now?
Sorry, I know it's frustrating and my device is a-off so it's not exactly the same.
I just researched that last error and I think I was wrong about using download mode. I think if you're S-on you so in fact need to use ruu mode. And I went back and looked at the error you ran in ruu mode and that's a normal message and you just needed to rerun the flash command.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.ZIP
(If you get error 90, repeat the last command)
I think last time you repeated the flash command before the device was back in ruu mode.
Edit: but this would be so easy if you just get sunshine and S-off

Chinese Moto Z Play

Heys guys.
I got today my chinese moto z play from gearbest, it still has android 6 and i cant update it from the system itself, since it says the newwest version is already installed.
What is now the fastest and cleanest way to get android 7/7.1/7.11 or whatever installed? Is there any way to maybe get even original updates after that? So far im in love with the moto z but that chinese restriction sucks really.

First of all your are flashing the wrong stuff, stop before you hard brick your device.
It should be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and you need the TWRP recovery.img.
---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------
Follow this guide to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP, use Alberto 97 TWRP not the Chinese TWRP, after flashing TWRP use the volume button while still in fastboot mode to select and boot to recovery otherwise it will be over written by the stock recovery

That thread is for fastboot flashing firmware and I would stay away from doing that cause you'll end up in a mess.
Flash my stock TWRP flashable 7.1.1 stock rom that's whats it's for https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-single-dual-sim-t3620551/page17
Or flash any other custom ROM and you'll see why apple sucks.

Or flash any other custom ROM and you'll see why apple sucks.

No Notifications Sounds AGAIN isnt that ****ty? I mean you wont have ANY norification? Does it vibrate when you get messages? Or what about a timer, does that count as notification sound too?
Still, im not sure how im supposed to flash now any rom with that TWRP, im not in the menue from TWRP and now what? How do i install a rom?
Also will updates be disabled when i use your rom? I just want it to be normal as possible so i dont have to do this again that soon....

Updates are working on my rom for a reason. As for no notifications sounds just flash arise sound mod as described in my opinion and the sound works fine afterwards.
I would watch some YouTube videos on how to flash ROMs using TWRP recovery, it's easy as downloading the rom and gapps if required and boot to recovery and install your flashable zips.
Your phone will not get any further updates and you will not be able to accept any OTA cause you're device is the Chinese version.
So saying that and avoiding hard bricking your device I would highly recommend you stay with TWRP flashable zips. I have said many times that sideloading firmware can be an issue on moto devices and if you read there's a hard bricked thread that is full of people who think moto devices are nexus or pixel devices which is wrong.
The bootloader on moto devices are problematic under certain circumstances , so I have warned you! I have had many moto devices and not once have I had a hard brick, I always take the root of lease resistance which is flash custom ROMs.

It hans now on formatting system, why is that so?
The zip with your rom is on my sc card, i cant copy it on the system directly, after 10% or so it stops transfering it to the device itself while its in TWRP.

Working, running now Android 7.1..1, but i cant enable my sim cards anymore? They get detected and they ask for a pin but they just wont get any network connection, tested 3 different ones none was able to get activated.
