a few weeks ago I wanted to get the 4.4.3 update on my M8 but being rooted and missing apps I couldn't, so I found the developer edition rom and flashed the rom then flashed the firmware.
the thing is I have had root access ever since with out the need to use SuperUser, a little concerned any APK could access the phone and make a Mess I downloaded chainfires SU from google store, it immediately told me I needed to up date the SU binary, I cancelled and backed out but the phone rebooted and factory reset as if it was trying to update the SU via recovery.
eventually the phone rebooted and guess what, I am now missing the same APK files as before.
is it possible that it is the superuser apk causing the loss of the other apks and not the rooting process?
I am now going to have to reflash the ROM when I get home, how ever this morning before work I wanted to flash it, but when I used "FastBoot Boot Trecvoery.img" (touch recovery) the phone just hung and did not boot into recovery, stock recovery, longer shows the usual htc phone and red triangle logo, instead it just shows a white screen with htc written in grey
the phone works fine, but how do I get the ROM to reflash if I cant boot into custom recovery, I do not want to flash custom recovery as I prefer stock everything until my warranty expires.
am I going to have to S-off and start again?

So you probably see these types of threads all the time, but this one is different--
So the phone is a T-Mobile G2, Yes, It is Rooted, and S-OFF.
Long story short, I rooted the phone fine, but I cannot reboot into recovery.
I have the newest CWM flashed. It is version 3.0.0.5. When I try to boot the phone into recovery, it simply gets stuck on the HTC Logo screen. But, it is not bricked, but if I remove the battery, and put it back in, the phone boots and its fine. One more time. The phone is S-OFF and rooted.
The only thing I can do is flash CM 2.5.1.3...... 2.5.1.4+ do not work.
I just want to know WHY its doing this. Its my friends G2 and I have rooted mine the SAME exact way, and its fine. I have tried factory resetting it, but it doesn't work.
PLEASE TELL MY WHY.
EDIT*
I'm trying to do this process in ROM Manager- I also have tried flashing it more than once.

If you can boot up normally, load rom manager (download from market), and go to install alternate recovery, and install any alternate recovery. Then when that is complete, go back and install the Clockwork recovery version you want on top of the alternate.
What happens is SOMETIMES recovery will get messed up while installing, and you'll get exactly that, loop at the HTC screen.
If you cannot reflash an old, then the proper recovery through Rom Manager, you can do it via fastboot with your computer and USB, there are a few guides on the developer forum on how to do that. If you need i can try to dig up the fastboot recovery method guide later... but really, if you can boot up, Rom Manager is your best/easiest bet.
Yeah, I'm trying to do it using ROM Manager. and It still doesnt work. Ive rooted- unrooted and did everything, idk what I'm doing wrong. I tried flashing the new recovery like 4 times, it doesn't work for me. Thanks for the reply!
My cousin rooted my galaxy s3 a year ago, everytime i turned my phone on after the samsung logo it showed a hot power logo, then after a while i decided to unroot my s3 by myself i dont think it worked as the hot power logo still shows and i cant update my software it says my phone has been modified, but when i check root checker it says my phone is not rooted?, i can not open superuser or framaroot so im totally baffleded iv been trying too look all over the internet and cant find anything thats like what im stuck with
.
Please could you help me if you can,
Thank you very much in advance
Do you have Superuser installed (not sure if root checker works with or without SU)? Also, do you still have a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc.)?
If not, try installing it from the market and see if you still have root. The boot image didn't get replaced with the stock one when you unrooted.
The best way to set your phone back to a stock unrooted (with counter reset) IF you are not running 4.3 following the instructions in billard412 thread linked below:

Hello,
I'm wondering if there's an official RUU for GPe that would let me restore the phone to factory configuration. I messed up my phone and while it works I observed few issues with it so far: when it first boots up for short time the launcher is accessible before the phone finish loading soft buttons and then lock screen. It's not a big deal but it decreases phone security. My WiFi no longer works.
Here's some background what happened:
I have HTC One (M8) purchased from Google Play. When I unlocked it I tried to do very minimal changes to it (install SuperSU and Xposed, I did not even flash recovery I was able to boot PhillZ Touch recovery using fastboot boot <image>, also it is S-ON as I never needed to change radios etc.) everything worked just fine. A 5.0.1 OTA came and after applying it the phone worked fine but naturally root and Xposed stopped working. I realized that after the 5.0.1 I no longer can boot custom recovery using fastboot boot <image> so I flashed latest TWRP on the recovery partition then from it I installed latest SuperSU, I also called Xposed script that supposed to uninstall it, since I learned that Xposed won't work on Lollipop.
After a reboot the phone got stuck in loading animation. After connecting adb logcat I noticed that the same message was repeating, there was more of the text, but what drew my attention was "DSEC_DMO_Token ERR: Key file does not authorize requested features. - /system/etc/soundimage/srsmodels.lic". Anyway at that point I decided to restore my 4.4.4 backup. Once restored I noticed that the phone no longer prompts me about 5.0.1 OTA and says that I'm running the latest version. I then adb sideloaded official 5.0.1 update and this is the place where I am currently. I tried wiping caches, but that had no effect.
So the old ROM I was on (a super outdated Android Revolution) needed to be updated because my battery was draining a lot and I figured I would update everything. Apparently I flashed a bad or wrong version of TWRP, so I can't get into recovery. It just sits there trying to get into recovery but it keeps failing. Then I tried using MultiRom recovery and installing that through the app in the play store. Now my phone won't go into recovery and just boot loops. I can get into the HBOOT menu but I can't get into recovery or boot the device at all. Does anyone have any ideas to get a working recovery or working ROM? I already backed up my pictures and videos and stuff, but I forgot to transfer my titaniumbackup files I've been trying to look around and see how to fix it but I don't want to do something that will cause more damage than I've already done. I did all this to update my firmware so that I can use the newer ROMs. Anyway if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance.
You didn't mention whether or not you are S-off and/or bootloader unlocked.
Since you already have a custom ROM, you must have unlocked your bootloader at some point, so if it is STILL unlocked, just reflash the correct recovery from fastboot. If it is not, unlock it with HTCdev first, then reflash the correct recovery.
Alternately, if you just want the phone fixed, you can always re-run the AT&T RUU - though that will trash any files you have on the phone.
Yeah that's what I did yesterday thanks for the response!
Ok guys I am pretty sure I fubar'd my tablet.
I am stuck in a recovery loop. When I start the tablet it just goes back into recovery. Which if I still had TWRP I think I could still do something, but I flashed cyanogen recovery trying to flash cm13 since I cold not get anything else to work. I cannot boot into download/firmware update screen. The screen just flickers a little and goes dark.
A little background:
Started when tablet forced install of 5.0 update and I was in a recovery loop. I flashed 410 test build, rooted, flashed twrp, installed stock rooted ROM. Everything was fine. Then tablet did it again, this time I just flashed rooted ROM and factory reset. Even took the steps to fix the white lines and storage issues. Was working fine. Got home a few days ago and I was in a recovery loop again. But now I don't have the bootloader screen/download mode/firmware update screen (whatever you want to call it) so last night i tried to download cm13, Gapps and cyanogen recovery with no avail.
I can access adb on my PC while in recovery, but when I try to access ADB shell I get unauthorized something or other. Because I cannot authorize USB debugging, because ROM won't boot. I tried to flash stock rooted ROM from cyanogen recovery and it says not signed or something like that.
Does anyone have any ideas? I really think I have screwed the pooch here.

if you have a stock recovery image flashing it is easy, i had a LOT of troubles with my v410 and still am working with it. i have mine rooted, just with TWRP though, i cant use xposed framework, which negates why i rooted this in the first place. anyway, through much grit and determination flash your stock image after wiping what needs to be wiped and doing all other necessary things. Then, you must download kingo root, supersu, superuser. flashify would help with the flashing i hear, but it has troubles with the v410. kingo root was an apk i managed to find buried under a million viruses on the 34th page of google..or something. rooted mine in one click, from stock to reboot to twrp root.. many glitches.
I need help myself, deleted my "Phone" system app, causing me to lose connectivity with my data plan. cant seem to restore it, and flashify nor twrp has been able to flash a custom recovery, or a backup, im at a loss.
Help? We seek the same thing.
Ok but how do I flash the stock recovery image. I can't use fastboot. ADB says I am unauthorized.

Anyone have any other ideas?
I am at a complete loss. I am by no means a developer, but I do know my way around. I really think I have FUBAR'd this one.
Kind of stinks, I give up. Anyone want a bricked v410?
