[Q] can access bootloader, but there's a problem. - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so, someone is selling a bricked or possibly soft bricked phone, the dude said that he was trying to unroot it and some how while he was s-on he ended up deleting the os. he says it boots to the bootloader and everything and he says that while he tries to sideload something it fails... is the phone bricked for good? or there's hope?
thanks in advance!

Collect some more answers prior to buying. But I would say as long as the display comes up and bootloader shows there is hope.
Fails while sideloading sometimes doesn't mean anything, as he has to sideload a ROM.zip while a backup would fail.

What other questions you think should be asked in order to assess the situation better? I am not a m8 guy so I'm kind of lost I just asked the basic does it still goes to boot loader because I know that's a sign that the phone might not be completely ****ed hp

I just wanted to say that maybe I'm wrong and some others should confirm what I'm saying .
But from what I learned you could re-flash TWRP in this state and first flash a custom ROM such as ViperOne using adb sideload to get it up and running. From this point one could then revert to stock using the correct backup.
Would be interesting if the
fastboot getvar all
command comes up with the version-main and which cid and mid this One M8 has.

He can run fastboot getvar all in the boot loader ?

If he is in bootloader and connects the phone to pc he can run this command using cmd on his pc as long as he has adb/fastboot driver installed on his pc.

Ask him to buy a sdcard and put a ROM.zip on it then put it in his M8.
Then boot to recovery to install ROM (he deleted his OS so I believe the custom recovery still there)

I'm gonna ask him if he can get into the recovery and see if he has a custom one. Because if he does I'm sure I could just put a SD in there and get a nice m8 for about 220.
Edit: he says he doesn't think so and supposedly tried installing one and wouldn't work.

Ask him whether he installed a GPE ROM before ... I've seen many have problem when trying to unroot or back to Sense from a GPE.
Get the fastboot getvar all info from him. If his device is on bootloader/fastboot then he should be able to run this command. If he can have this info, then it just a soft brick.
Gotta go now ...

He doesn't know how to do "fastboot getvar all" then how can he said he was unable to install a recovery ?
I still believe, nothing is wrong with his M8, other than OS was deleted with a custom recovery ... a simple fix by placing a ROM.zip on external sdcard will fix it.
Can he get a screenshot/a pic of the bootloader ?

he says a friend is the one that helped him with all that, i think what im going to do is drive up there with a laptop and try to see if i can get the command through. so as long as i get fastboot getvar all i should be good to go.
by the sounds of it, he doesnt have a custom recovery, he says they tried installing it and failed, also he said something about uploading a rom (sideload i think?) and also failed. well see when i get my hands on it probably this Monday.

That maybe the best. Get a look on it yourself. I don't think there's something wrong with it too.
Just a little bit work to be done to set it uo again.

[Q] Help Please - Bricked One X

Another thread like this... I know. Sorry.
In an attempt to load the modified battery management file, I've managed to brick my One X. It just sits at the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen and that's as far as it gets.
I can boot into bootloader and then use fastboot, which in turn has allowed me to load the Clockwork Touch Recovery. I can reboot and load this recovery fine. But whatever I try, I cannot get it to boot back into the normal OS.
I cannot mount the phone on my laptop as that's not an option (that I'm aware of) in the One X recovery mode. Therefore I cannot copy across a new ROM to the SDCard and reload via 'Update.zip'.
Battery is healthy, everything was working prior to this failed attempt at being clever.
What other options are there to re-load a ROM and get the device working again?
Thanks in advance for your help
Rob

Thank you, very much. A question, where it says:
'After that download RUU specific to your handset and run. This should install fine and return you to stock.'
I've downloaded what I think is right and I have a .zip file, how can I get this onto the device to install it?
It is mentioned in the instructions. You will need to use adb.
Edit: I presume that you have fast boot and adb installed on your PC. If not you will need to do that for your device to be recognized

That's the trouble, I can't. Because there is no USB access in recovery, ADB doesn't work.
Unless I'm missing something obvious?

I just edited my reply. Do you have all the drivers installed on your PC?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No adb.
Boot into fastboot on mobile and run the RUU from pc.
You need to have your bootloader locked before the RUU can run.
fastboot oem lock
Also did you try a factory reset in recovery and then tried to reboot into system
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thanks guys, sorry for the slow reply...
I do indeed have ADP/Fastboot on my computer still.
Where can I download the stock RUU? I can find a .zip version from this very forum, but how do I install that if I can't transfer it? I had assumed there would be a .exe version to run from my computer. Is there?
skywalker1970 - I did indeed try that, thanks.

Looks like the zip is signed incorrectly. If you know what I mean by an md5 sum, check it corresponds to the one the developer lists. If you don't know what I mean by an md5 sum, then try to download the ROM again and flash the new download. Which ROM is it by the way?

Slightly out of my depth here, but go to the thread demkantor posted a few posts up and read carefully, it will be very informative.
Also you appear to be using stock Android recovery, I'm not certain this is a problem but just to make sure I would find out how to use fastboot to flash clockworkmod recovery. Just Google "flash clockworkmod recovery fast boot" or something along those lines... If you already have android SDK set up, etc. Which I assume you must have being as you're rooted, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Sorry this is about as much as I can help, I'm sure demkantor will be able to help you through anything more than this.

thanks buddy ,
yes having andriod sdk .
THIS THREAD will teach you how to use fastboot to do
various things such as flash a new recovery. problem is you dont have a bootloader with fastboot
capabilities, well at least not many. do you know how the phone was rooted? if it was
done using the gfree method than you can simply flash one of the PC10IMG.zips from
post 30 in the thread linked above (done via bootloader) if not it could be an issue to use do this.
you can only flash update.zips through the recovery you have now and they more than likely would need to be signed by htc. if you dont have a working os right now then
you may need to flash an ruu (one that matches your phone) let me know where you stand on all this

I may have just flashed my boot with recovery, now what?

So I accidently mis-read a post a fellow XDA member posted and flashed my boot with the recovery.img before I was able to make a backup of my boot.img. So what can I do now? Phone hangs at HTC intor logo, however I can still flash and enter BOOTLOADER.
Would appreciate the help chaps...
Fastboot getvar version-main
Go to fastboot and type that, post outcome. From there on we can find the right RUU for you. Once you have the right ruu you relock the bootloader with
Fastboot oem lock
Then you plug in your device and run the RUU as administrator. First get the version main and don't do anything you can't undo! With an ruu u can get full stock back
If you want to run a custom rom anyway you might as well download one and flash it away and flash the boot that comes with it. I understand if you want to revert back to stock first though, your call

Ok, downloaded the Viper ROM. Placed the .zip on the storage device in a folder named ROM. Extracted boot.img to Android folder, rebooted into Fastboot and flashed the boot.img. Now have cleared all caches and have initiated Viper install, however it's been at 0.00% for 15 minutes and my battery is draining fast! help help, don't want it to switch off while installing.
Also, I wiped the sd card in the Philz recovery - was this a bad idea?
Did you do a full wipe in the aroma installer? If it stays stuck wipe again and install zip from sd card again (viper zip)

Turn off, plugin make sure the zip is still on your phone if not copy again. Unplug phone before flashing and flash zip from sd card again. Just copy the Rom in the internal storage not in a folder, this could cause problems
Don't worry about battery life it usually charges in recovery and if not there are plenty scripts out there to charge it anyway. The thing to do in these kind of situations is stay calm tomorrow I have time to find the right ruu for you if you still want to return back to stock.

Yes you can do that but you can do a full wipe within the installer as well I recommend doing that. Remember to unplug phone while flashing!! I once had problems with my sensation cause I left the usb in..

You did install all the drivers? So you lost the zip on the storage well that's no biggie, sometimes all I had to do was close htc sync and plug it in again to connect. Try accessing storage when the phone is fully turned on. Do you have usb debugging on?

Hate to say it, but I just repeatedly troll spammed the mount/unmount option in recovery while plugging and unplugging the USB cable - Seems to have done the trick. Copying fresh Viper .zip over. Fresh flash of recovery and fresh flash of Viper boot.img.
Upwards and onwards...
Fingers crossed, lol
There's an option in recovery to wipe everything in preparation for new ROM installation, should I do that?
P.s. thankyou for helping me me on this appreciate it.
Yes do the wipe to be sure and also the wipe in the installer that's what I did. Haha that's okay, this bed I sleep on on my holiday is crap so I guess you're lucky . Tomorrow I can help you find the right ruu file for if you ever need to return it (warranty) no need flashing the recovery again btw, just zip and boot
You're more than welcome I needed help in the beginning as well, even soft bricked my phone before haha I think we've all been there
Also; don't get discouraged by all the features the viper Rom has, you'll find your way around them sooner or later.

That's great, tinker around with it all you want! It is really fun flashing different roms. Viper Rom even has OTA, over the air updates. You'd have to read the thread for that though. Once you get viper to work.. make a backup!! Also copy that backup folder to your dekstop so you don't lose it and cause you need the boot.img if you ever want to restore

You are getting there my friend! Read their thread carefully though.

[Q] Can't flash any rom. Stuck. M8 UK

Hi,
I am not new to rooting and flashing but I seem to have jammed.
I can flash custom recoveries(used both CWM and TWRP) no bother but I cannot flash rom.
I have tried pushing and side loading. TWRP just says failed.
CWM says cannot open update.zip from tmp (bad)
I am unlocked.
I am S-ON so I don't know a way around that atm without a ROM. I have tried reinstalling stock but failed.
HTC one M8 UK EE network.
Would love to fix this please.
I'm a novice, this is my first android phone but I believe you have to be s-off to flash ROMs. I'm on EE too, what I done was paid for Sunshine, about £14 I think, that unlocked the bootloader and s-off. I can flash ROMs no issues.

As I would, normally.
Toolkits cause more issues than they solve.
Try:
fastboot erase cache
Then flash recovery again, and see if that helps.
Also, do you get the phone model number as a response when you type both:
adb devices
fastboot devices

Not entirely sure how i fixed it but I'll list what I did.
Usually I work from a mac but decided to start afresh on my desktop.
I downloaded venom for m8
reflashed TWRP recovery.
Booted to recovery.
wiped cache and such.
Then adb side loaded the rom.
Some reason it worked. I have done this a good few times previously and with various rooms, not just venom.
I was using the AIO toolkit to side load this rather than the ADB cmd prompt.
Thanks for posting the steps that worked for you.
Like you said, hard to say what fixed it. Perhaps getting away from the toolkit, maybe just re-flashing recovery (even though you had done so previously) or wiping cache.
If moving a ROM to the device form the PC, I prefer adb push to adb sideload. Sideload seems to fail sometimes where push is fine. Push is some more steps (booting recovery and a few taps there to flash the ROM) but it seems more reliable. Although if it worked, it worked!

Yes re-flash TWRP recovery. As you did it once you should know about the exact steps that need to be taken. Hint: download mode, fastboot flash recovery nameoftwrprecovery.img.
Then do as @DeeZZ_NuuZZ told you above.
Edit: somehow I have a presentiment that, in the worst case scenario, the eMMC could have been damaged by the heat.
