Hello all,
So here's why I'm posting:
I'm having an issue with my T-Mobile HTC One M8 phone. The phone was working great until I tried to install a new third-party TWRP. I don't know if it was miscommunication or what, but in the process of installing it (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ocvavpttfo...ersion_Fix.img), the phone started having issues.
The initial issue was that the phone would get stuck during boot up. The phone was at the current 2.22 build # but in order to make it at least usable again, I flashed an RUU (1.57 build #) and that seemed to fix everything. But then when I went back from stock recovery to my original TWRP, and flashed a recent backup, the phone froze again during boot up. This process worked many times and as recently as yesterday, but now since trying to install that third-party TWRP, it doesn't. I've tried various things but nothing is working. I know that since I can still reach HBOOT and TWRP that there is hope, but I'm at my wits end as to what to do.
I should also mention that I was using the ViperOne M8 ROM (2.1.0). My phone is unlocked/rooted & S-OFF. There were no issues with it again until I tried to install that new TWRP.
I really love my phone, and hope someone on here can help me. After re-RUUing my phone, I'm going to leave it at 1.57 build # and stock recovery (1.12 #) (and USB Debugging on) until I hear from someone. Basically, I just want my phone to be normal again so I can upgrade back to build # 2.22, flash my custom TWRP recovery, and then flash my most recent backup which included the most recent ViperOne M8 update.

Prologue:
So there I was, caressing my shiny and smooth M8.
At the beginning of the year I S-Offed, and added DigitalHigh's awesome Beyond Stock...
Later on, I used a standard RUU GPE Rom.
After repeated Wi-Fi password amnesia, I wanted Beyond Stock Back.
Flashing "GPE_5.1_M8_DH_080215.zip" gives me an "Error 7" even with repeated wipes... hehe... wipes
Searching didn't give me a coherent answer.
So I though, let's update TWRP... and...
Now
The thing's only usable in Bootloader.
If I go to recovery or ANYTHING, the "Google" logo stares at me in disgust.
Odd detail: I'm using fastboot and when it's stuck on the "Google" logo, entering "adb devices" detects the phone in recovery mode.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0, but all I see is the "Google" logo. (I can still feel vibrations on the screen as if I'm hitting a menu button)
I also tried to "fastboot -w" and it gave me the "remote: not allowed" result.
Actually, I tried to fastboot a lot of things and the result came the same.
Anyways, I'll give a detailed log as soon as I remember how, but the reason I post this is 'cause searching for this doesn't give an understandable or reliable result.
Thanks

But delete the serial and imei before posting ! If you have an old bootloader you have to use the 2.7 series of TWRP. if you have the latest bootloader (3.18-3.19) you have to use 2.8 series of TWRP !
OOOOOOOOOHHHH, Where I get new M8 bootloader?
Hold Up, going to work, will post 'getvar' later today.
It's there, brah.
Take a look if you can.
It's an AT&T device, you are using it with AT&T ? And you fully converted it from sense to GPE ? You could also :
1: run the GPE ruu again. It will get you on GPE stock again and since you are s-off that should not be a problem of any kind.
2: convert back to sense (original AT&T with software number x.xx.502.x)
i am not sure if the AT&T RUU will cover the "back to sense conversion" so this might be interesting too as it involves the standalone flashing of the firmware first (you need a AT&T firmware, NOT the one posted there !!!)
here is more conversion info :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
and here you can get firmwares : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
if you want number 2 here is more info with a download link to the latest android L RUU : http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-att-htc-one-m8-lollipop-ruu-4-28-502-1-75822/
Didnt want to start my own thread due to the shame..
Hi,,
I have managed to remove my OS, without making a backup. All i have running is TWRP. Was going to install CM12.1, but didnt update the M8 to the latest software that contains relevant bootloader. From here it went downhill - fast.
Ended up with no OS, no backkups, and no ability to flash other ROMS i think.
If someone could give me a few ideas, i would really appreciate it.

Your case is different and you should start your own thread but there are many same case as yours.
Here is one and the solution is in there.. run RUU - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-sos-t3192177
Anything you're not sure, ask there. Don't hijack this thread.
UPDATE: Thanks to ckpv5 and the links that were provided i was able to complete the reinstall - thank you so much!!
Opps - sorry - didnt mean to offend!
Will take a look.
Thanks
Mike
The RUU got me an OS and, right now, that is all I need.
Thank you!!
Hi all,
So a few months ago I flashed a custom GPE Rom onto my M8. It was successful until I tried to remove TWRP and accidentally deleted my OS instead.
I tried to fix the problem but I just couldn't get it to work. I figured I would have another crack at it with the help of the XDA forums.
Currently I have S-Off, TWRP installed and kinda got fastboot working (sometimes it derps and won't recognize in the command prompt).

Instead of saying that (which really means nothing, in of itself), you need to provide specific details of each thing you tried, and the specific results for each. Otherwise, we can just be spinning our wheels suggesting things you've already tried.
What version TWRP? It sounds like all you need to do is make sure you TWRP version is not too old (I can help you there) then just get a ROM on the device (either adb push, or put it on SD card) and flash the ROM in TWRP.
So i accidentally wiped the phone including the internal storage and the OS instead of factory resetting (wasn't paying attention) and tried to re install the android marshmallow OS onto the phone which didn't work..
i managed to flash the twrp by following another forum where someone had the same problem, using the adb process to flash the bootloader etc but now i can't access the recovery at all, it just says entering recovery and remains idle until i get bored of waiting and power off.
Can anyone help me?
i can provide whatever information is necessary for you to help, just need my phone revitalised as i desperately need it for my new job that i should hopefully be starting at the end of the week.
thanks in advance!

this forum is for HTC One m8
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
this is for your device ask there some one will guide you
I have quite the same problem (and i have One M8). Can't enter TWRP recovery, bootloop - just shows an endless loading, i can start the phone without that by pushing pwr button/VOL+/VOL- at the same time (fastboot mode - ok). I want to get the stock back, but it's impossible without entering TWRP. Can someone help me please? It seems that i do not understand this thing anymore.

Fastboot erase cache, then flash TWRP again in fastboot. Try TWRP 2.8.1.0, which is an older version (more compatible with your old firmware). Then see if you can boot into recovery.
Or flash signed firmware, to update firmware (yours is ancient) then flash TWRP 2.8.7 and restore a newer stock backup (corresponding to the firmware flashed).

Thanks a lot. I've tried the first solution and at least TWRP is now working. I've tried the same thing, but it seems, that it was a wrong version of TWRP
Many apologies, turns out i misread the model and its actually the M7 i have. But im glad that this post is helping others with my original problem and thanks to other members who contributed to helping!

hi all,
trying to fix a m8 for someone and its had many issues... eg it came without a system installed (Person accidentally erased the system partition using TWRP) before that it ran cyanogenmod rom, not sure on version
we managed to put a firmware on it but it suffered an issue where when the phone shut down due to low battery it would be rendered unbootable and it couldnt turn wifi on even when it would run..... only way to get it to start up again was to clear dalvik cache and cache options in twrp,
fast foward alittle i got some nandroid backup from a telstra firmware off one of the forums on xda here and got it booting and able to stay running (i think) once the battery drains.... however i can turn wifi on... tap the button it goes darker like its turning on then nothing.... when i turn airplane mode on and off it comes up with error fail to load driver Reason unknown error (1)
would anyone be able to help me out on how to fix this? any more info u need just ask and i should be able to give it.... but here is the fastboot -getvar all readout

Try restore the correct nandroid version if it was not done yet.
For your getvar info, you need to restore 2.23.841.1 nandroid backup. Anything higher version you'll have wifi issue

Hello,
Been looking around threads and search for awhile, and I am usually pretty familiar with this but I've been stumped.
I have an ATT HTC One m8 (with the ATT logo on the back of the phone) that I had a long time ago that I converted to Gplay edition with S-Off, and flashed some old version of Lineage on it (Probably 14 or 15.1?) I was trying to update it to 17.1 since that is now available, only to realize my system partition doesn't have enough space. I looked around more and realized I need to get Sense firmware on it to get a bigger system partition, but this where I am stuck - I can't seem to find any RUUs to work for this phone.
I've done:
- Striaghtout just flashing the RUU from https://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#unlocked, but it just gave me an error 152 saying that the installation failed
- Tried taking the ruu.zip of that installer from tmp folder and then flashing it using the SD card method, still error on me when flashing system
- Flash firmware first to Marshmallow, and then take the RUU - still error
- Flash the ATT RUU instead, still failed
At this rate I thought maybe my m8 is toasted due to over flashing it, but I was still able to fastboot boot into TWRP and then wipe system and flash LineageOS from there, but of course without Gapps. I need Gapps though, so still trying to get this system partition to be bigger.
