No ROM installed, stuck in recovery. - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was getting random reboots and I tried to delete everything. I thought "clean to install new ROM" would just do a thorough cleaning.
When I try to boot it stays on the white HTC screen.
I can boot into the recovery and Squabbi's HTC One M8 toolkit reads it.
However, I have no idea what files to flash or even HOW to flash them so I can get an OS back on my phone. Can somebody please help?
I have no ADB experience.

Copy a rom zip on external sd and flash it through recovery or use a nandroid backup if you have one, but as you want a clean install maybe you want to use the first method

Thank you for your reply. I am currently in ADB i tried to do "adb sideload" but got an error "failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
I am going to try "adb push" right now and see if that works.
In the meantime, is it possible for me to recover using RUU in my current state of being stuck in recovery mode? Thanks again. I'll make sure to hit that donation button.

Well, the error might be a recovery issue, a cable issue (use stock htc one) or a driver issue... Unfortunately no RUU is available, so search for a nandroid backup in mr hofs' thread, copy it on the external sd card and recover it... Use the same recovery the backup was taken with (should be noted near the backup)... Let me know if you need further help dude

It's easier to mount the storage in twrp, so you can browse it with the computer and copy paste the file inside... Then unplug the phone and restore the nandroid...

I flashed TWRP via fastboot. then i pushed a nandroid backup hosted on this site to the /sdcard/TWRP/backsups/<a directory i made here> finally got everything working. Thanks again for everything. I just hope the random rebooting doesn't come back.
I think it was rebooting because I disabled some bloatware apps via an app called App Master, which requires root. And when i restarted the phone, all those apps tried to run again but there was a conflict with App Master.

Well, you can try to reinstall the rom without removing the bloatware... If it's stable you found the culprit

Error when restoring Nandroid

Hi
I'm getting this error when I try to restore:
Code:
Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!
So I tried to restore it through adb.
But then I get this error message:
Code:
"error: unable to mount /system, aborting
/sdcard/nandroid/SH0CJPL05354/BCDAS-20110610-1442"
The thing is it worked the first time I tried it but it won't work anymore and since I've wiped, I can't boot up at all. I can only access Recovery and the Bootloader
I always wipe before restoring and for what it's worth, I had to restore in the first place because I flashed the Bravo Sense hboot.
I'm AmonRa 2.0.1
Alpharev S-Off
Seems like /system is not mounted? Try
Code:
adb remount
then have another go?

If so I'm getting this when I do adb remount:

The phone is listed under adb devices and I have successfully located the nandroid on my sdcard using adb, it's just the restore fails as above. (Interestingly, it lists the phone under adb devices when I'm in Recovery but it won't do so when I'm in the bootloader screen.)
Anyway, this is what I'm getting with adb remount:
Code:
C:\>adb remount
remount failed: invalid argument
What would suggest from here?
Thanks for helping out, btw. It's very very much appreciated
Ok so you currently have s-off, RA recovery, access to bootloader and recovery, but no working rom and a nandroid backup that won't restore - that right?

If it was me I would wipe everything (I know you did already but just to be sure) download fresh version of the rom to your sd via PC, insert in phone and flash it through recovery. That gets you a functioning phone at least!
Then work on the restore issue. The backup was made with the same version of RA that you are currently using I assume? I'm not sure where to go with it really, and hope someone with more knowledge will pitch in...!
Something like that has already happened to me twice. First, I was running low on sd space. Second, my recovery was corrupted somewhat: fixed by reflashing the same recovery. Hope this helps you in troubleshooting.

Or as Rastaman over at AF put it:
if youve wiped, try and flash a new rom without restoring nand and see if it rebuilds the system partition
once done see if a nand restore will work (although it was done without ext :/)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So basically, flashing a new rom rebuilds the system partition and then the nand restore works.
if so, would be usefull to restore without the boot.img from nandbackup.
never used nandbackup, i have ridden that was availaible through some advanced features from nand restore on amonRA
this is a point already raised early by someone named Brandall

[Q] CWM Bootloop w/ v5.8.2.0

Long story short im a newb, im sorry for creating a new thread but ive exhausted my efforts looking for a solution to the problem im having. When the problem occured i had restored my original cwm backup that i created when first rooting my phone. I then did a factory wipe and reinstalled cwm and flashed my recovery. I went to install cm9 4-4-12 and i got a pop up that firmware update was available i clicked update system now and got sent to cwm recovery. Every time since then i cannot reboot into the android os, pulling battery. It doesnt matter what i do, ive tried to use a flash recovery zip i found in another thread to exit boot loop. Ive also tried restoring my original back ups and my recent back ups. I have the android sdk installed but having trouble getting adb to work not sure if i should go about trying to fix the recovery or trying to restore phone to its original state either way i think i need to get adb working before i can do either one. Any help is appreciated and im sorry if im wasting your time.
Did you try wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory reset before flashing CM9?
Yes. The order i took was Wipe data/factory reset> Wipe cache partition> wipe dalvic cache> installed cm9 zip> installed gaps zip. still nothing got adb to work not doing much with it i know it has root access and when i got the state of the device it came up as unknown although im pretty sure im in recovery mode.
ok a few question and maybe a step by step to help you since i had a same promblem with a bad flash of CM9
1A. Can you boot into Recovery ? if not i can help you reflash your phone with the Kdz files took me forever to get it to work but i finilly found all the files needed.
1B. if it does boot into recovery run adb devices ... does it show the phone in recovery mode ? in the list.
If so then you can Download the following 6 files Dropbox Down link its not mine but was posted in another Nitro Recovery topic i will give credits once i re go threw the topic to see the poster
- recovery.img
- system.img
- baseband.img
- boot.img
- firmware.img
- pushall.bat
in your CWM recovery go to mounts or it may be under advanced and turn on usb mass storage and as long as all of those files are in your adb folder you can run the pushall.bat and it will place them on your sdcard.
After that turn off usb mass storage and run adb devices again to make sure you phone is still showing up. If so run these commands
Adb shell
****** notice the SU command isnt used here**** cant get super user in recovery but it will still let you run the commands and i can confirm it does work
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
dd if=/sdcard/firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
You won't be able to issue a reboot command, so just hold power down on your phone til it's off and hold the volume down button so that it comes back up in factory data reset mode. You will want to pull your sdcard at this time if you don't want your data erased.
Hit power twice and your phone should go through its reset process and (hopefully!) come back up in a working (and rooted) AT&T "stock" rom
if not then try to follow this for the CM9 Adb Drivers Wiki for CM adb drivers i know its a little work but it dose the trick then go back up to the previous step and try that to get to stock rooted
i dont think i left anything out but i can help with anything else i know if that doesnt get you back up and running.

edit: re-ran superoneclick for run and it worked! I should be good from here
Got everything to work. Wait spoke to soon tried to reinstall firmware update again got the same problem. oh well guess i should done fw update before installing cwm. Thanks for the help i should be able to repete this problem in the case of another brick... which just occured.
So after going through the process of unbricking my phone a second time my phone was rebooted into software update screen. Updating firmware then software and did not have to go through factory reset. Strange...
I pushed all images to my device via adb,but ota update gets an error when trying to install. At least its not bricked. Anyone know of another method?

when you type adb push boot.img /sdcard/ what does it say ? i dont see why it will do the rest and not that one
dd: can't open sdcard\boot.img : no such file or directory
i was asking about when you pushed the boot.img to teh sdcard... if yyou want i can look at it threw teamviewer total up to you ... if you deside that pm me then info for it
Just take the SD card out and into your computer (assuming you have a card reader) and copy the files to it manually.

im going to assume that he is booting into CWM its thats the case with teh usb cable hooked to the computer he can turn on mass storage from the CWM and just tranfer it that way .. if he doesnt have a reader .. i just dont see why its not copying the boot image
I'm sorry. The files are on the sdcard. When it comes time for the dd command, i get that error which i recently posted.
If you're in CWM you have to ensure your sdcard is mounted. I have got caught up on this step as well lol
Thank you to all that helped! XDA is awesome! Everything is back to normal. It also helps to have the right / or \ lol

Nexus doesn't boot

Hello guys!
First of all, sorry if this question was already answered. I've searched but as Nexus is my new phone, i'm a little in the dark!
Ok, I've google's stock 4.0.4 (latest one) running franco kernel.
Everything's ok and I made a nandroid backup.
Yesterday I've a problem, I've restored the nandroid backup and it started working as it should.
Today, I flashed a mod (the one to correct the gradient) and the phone didn't boot. I restored the nandroid backup i've made (and the backup it's ok, as I tested it before), but the phone didn't boot yet!
Now it's hanging on the bootscreen logo and nothing happens.
I know that if I flash again google's stock rom, it starts working. However, if I do that I loose the Internal Storage, and I don't want to loose it!
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Miguel

Did you wipe the cache and dalvik cache after flashing any kernel tweaks? You should.
Anyway, I don't have the answer you want to hear, but you could always plug your phone into your PC, boot into recovery, pull all your data off your device using ADB, then flash stock.

I haven't flashed any kernel tweaks. I think that the gradient mod only mods some system files (systemui, other ones and probably framework).
I forgot completely this you've said! I boot into recovery and i do "mount usb storage" or something, isn't it? At least, in Huawei Ideos X5 recovery was that way!

I would just boot into CWM, plug into a PC, open a command prompt and:
Copy all your data that is in /sdcard to your computer: adb pull /sdcard

[Q] TWRP Help! Unable to open zip, no OS installed!

Hi guys, I was changing Roms and accidentally hit wipe internal storage in TWRP.
I've tried to flash a Sinless ROM, an insert coin ROM and also looked on htcdev website to get an RUU to try and put it back to stock, yet every time I try and install a zip file through twrp it says "unable to open zip file".
I've also taken a shot at trying to add sideload the rom on there, no progress is made and eventually fails again... I've got no backups saved or anything...
Is there anything else I can try to make my phone work again? I was possibly thinking trying to get my brother to do a backup on his M8, put his SD in my phone, then restore from his back up, will this work?
Is there anything else I can try in the mean time? Really don't know what to do next...
Many thanks in advance guys
Oli
Hi,
In my ignorance, i think the failed flashes could be caused by two things:
1- the recovery you are using is not updated. Try to flash the lastest TWRP recovery or change recovery version.
2- corrupted ROM zips. Maybe there are problems while downloading the ROMS or while you copy them to your external sd card. Try to download them on another computer AND using a different browser. And maybe put the zips on a different SD card if you can. But, MOST IMPORTANT thing, check the MD5 after you've finished to download the zips.
About the nandroid backup... I think it could work BUT be sure that your brother M8 has the same brand, firmware and Android version of your M8 (before you wiped everything).
However, about this last part w8 maybe for somone else more expert the me w

Get into fastboot and type in fastboot: fastboot erase cache
Than reflash your recovery with with fastboot: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Than make sure that your downloaded zip isn't corrupted by trying to unzip it. If its successful, place the rom into the SD card and insert it into your M8 and flash from there.
Set up everything and voila, all done!

My apologies, didn't notice your reply. If his is s-on, he can try his brother's nandroid and if it fails, nothing will happen so its possible for him to restore his brother's nandroid if they are based on the same firmware
I unlocked my boot loader by htcdev, phone is s-on though.
I've downloaded each file twice, and also downloaded the insertcoin rom on another computer, made no difference. I'm using twrp 2.7.0.2 I believe...
Where would I get a new recovery.img file from? Sorry to sound stupid but I'm not sure and don't wanna mess my phone up more. Also when you download the file do you have to have it in the same directory as adb.exe, so when you run the adb command it will get it from that directory?

Just tried doing this fastboot method, I typed in adb devices to see if the phone was recognised, didn't show up, I typed in fastboot erase cache and it still did so. I then pushed the latest TWRP recovery.img file on to the phone, it's now running the latest version of TWRP, but still won't let me flash anything, still keeps saying unable to open zip...

Have you made sure the insertcoin rom that you have downloaded is compatible with your device? Your device needs to be running the lastest firmware as all the roms are updated to 4.4.4
As for the recivery, the lastest is 2.8.1.0

Make sure you have HTC drivers installed. if you don't, download HTC Sync and uninstall HTC Sync leaving the drivers in your computer than type in: adb devices.
Boot into fastboot and flash the recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( or you can just directly drag the "recovery.img" into cmd and press enter)
Load the rom into a external SD card and insert the SD card into your device and flash the rom from there
Also, do you check MD5 after downloading the ROM????
My device was running 4.4.4 prior to this happening. I did download the latest recovery and push it to the phone, it did work, but upon trying to flash a new rom, it still says failed.
The phone is being detected in adb, when it's in recovery it says so, sideload it says so, just not fast boot?

Forgive me for beimg stupid but how do I check the md5?

http://www.guidingtech.com/9800/what-is-md5-checksum-how-to-verify-it/
Compare it with the MD5 given in the ROM topic
I had the same problem where I couldn't flash anything and it wouldn't mount my storage. I had to adb flash RUU though that only works for s-off users
So if the md5 was to be fine and matched up, what would you try next?
Thanks

Try unzipping the .zip file on your pc with 7zip and then re-zipping it and try to flash again. I've also had some .zip files that can't be read and it wouldn't even open on the pc itself(giving errors) until I unzipped it with 7zip and re-zipped it.

Also a fail to unzip will point towards a bad download.
Hi guys.
So I tried a new SD card, matched up the md5s, tried flashing a new recovery.img file (which worked, I'm running the latest twrp now), unzipped and rezipped using 7zip, yet when I try and flash it still fails! I've tried flashing on the phone and sideloading it, both still fail.
Sideload failure says:
"installing '/external_sd/sideload.zip'
checking for md5 file
skipping md5 check:no md5 found" - that's where it gives up...
Phone flash failure says exactly the same except another line after sayi ping "error flashing zip '/external_sd/ROM.zip"
I really don't know what to try anymore... I've tried so much and I just can't see anything working now
Thanks for your help so far guys

Did you try flashing from Internal memory instead of sdcard?
No I havent. How can I get the rom to the internal memory mate? the phone has no OS on, so it's stuck in recovery or bootloader, how can I transfer the file to internal rather than the sd card?
Twrp 2.8.1.0 has MTP working.

Since your device only boots into the bootloader menu, all you'll have to do is highlight the Recovery option using the Volume Down button and select it with the Power button. If you do not see the Recovery option, just select Bootloader with the Power button and it should pop up.
Once in TWRP, tap the Advanced option and select ADB Sideload.
From there, you will be given the option to Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache partitions, so go ahead and do so by checking the boxes and Swipe to Start Sideload. After it starts, you will be ready to start your ROM flash.
With your device connected to your computer and your ROM file already on your desktop, you are ready to flash.
Kill ADB using the adb kill-server command, then restart it with adb usb.
Make sure your computer can identify your device with the adb devices command.
Flash your ROM with adb sideload Desktop/ROM.zip (be sure to change "desktop" to "downloads" or where ever your ROM is stored, and change "ROM.zip" to the name of your ROM file).
Sorry mate I didn't understand your previous post but I tried this method already, tried flashing Roms using sideload and they still fail, I've posted the error message in one of my previous posts if that helps?

M8 Eye (MELS_TUHL) problem recovery, software corrupted

Hi Guys,
I need urgent help with this. My friend's phone suddenly won't turn on and shows "Encryption unsuccessful". Tried factory reset but shows error triangle, tried wipe cache and all but to no avail. As I have uploaded you can see below. Never rooted. I hope you guys will help because I'm at my wits end here since the phone have no custom rom if I rooted it. So no point. Please help me ASAP!

I'm good with it, simple coding would be great if you have a solution for this
download twrp from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3wzFG_FuEb3UzVKWHJSekZuQTQ/view?usp=sharing
install it via fastboot [fastboot flash recovery twrp-m8eye-2.8.0.3 (1).img] use the command inside the bracket, download this backup from http://1drv.ms/1WkbudN now for the back to work well i suggest that you create a backup of your cache on your sd card so that you can have the correct directories to copy the backup to, usually its TWRP/BACKUPS/YOUR SERIAL NUMBER/BACKUP FILES, if you wish to root flash supersu zip from chainfire,

Stop doing this when you don't read and you don't know what option that you offered. This is for India version .. won't work for him and not for his problem

If it still under warranty then send it in ... this usually means the data partition is corrupted.
If it is unlocked, formatting data partition in TWRP recovery will fix it but this is non-rooted stock device, so the best option is HTC service centre.
