I did everything to the device, but I never checked MD5.
The first time learners.
EDIT: i checked and the codes match.
what now?
Is a verizon device can run this rom without changing CID?
I do not believe .....!
I deleted everything in RECOVERY what can I do now ...
I have no system on the device and the device does not connect to my computer!
You need to sideload a rom to the phone via adb. Or get the RUU for you device and revert to stock. There is also a thread with stock backups that you can throw on a sdcard and restore via recovery.

Hey guys, first post here and I couldn't find a good thread title. Hope that's not a problem
Anyways I need a little help with my m8, because I don't know what else to do.
I'll start from the beginning:
It's a One m8, bought from O2 Germany a few months ago. There were no O2 apps installed as I bought it, though.
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, flashed the TWRP recovery and the Venom m8 ROM. It was S-On over the whole time. Tried to make it S-OFF with the help of firewater but it didn't worked, so I didn't tried it anymore.
I just wanted to flash the newest Venom ROM, but to do so, I had to flash the newest firmware (Kitkat 4.4, have 4.2 right now)
So I relocked the bootloader, because that's what people on the internet said you have to do, to flash the newest stock firmware. After that I wanted to go back to Venom m8.
After relocking the bootloader, I rebooted the phone, and now I'm stuck in there. But in the fastboot mode.
Tried to enter the recovery -> can't access it
Tried to make a factory reset -> didn't worked
Everytime klick on recovery or factory reset, the phone reboots and comes back into fastboot.
Normaly you boot into hboot I think.
At the top of the screen stands:
***TAMPERED***
***RELOCKED***
***Security Warning***
I've seen the first two the whole time, but the third one is new :/
Here are the things I tried until now:
Flashing a stock ROM (it was a OTA_m8_O2___102...) I could try to find the actual link, if that helps.
Flashing a custom recovery (tried TWRP, after that CWM) Yea I already have custom recovery, but I tought it might help somehow.
Erased fastboot cache
None of these things worked. Fastboot is the only thing that works.
So my question now is, if anyone of you guys got any other idea how to solve that problem?
I really would appreciate any help.
If you need some more informations about the phone, just let me know. I guess there's missing some important informations
Sorry for the long text and if I misspelled something
EDIT: I just remembered that the flashing of TWRP or CWM didn't worked. It said FAILED: signature verify fail
Flashing of the Stock ROM worked I guess. There was the silver HTC logo on the phone. Then I flashed it in fastboot mode.
I tried to find this RUU software, but I couldn't find it :/
And "adb" in cmd also not working. It says "device not found"
Have you tried unlocking it again ?

Oh, and what are your CID / MID / bootloader version / firmware version / etc. ?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
You're bootloader needs to be unlocked, not re-locked. Go to HTC Dev to unlock in again, just like the first time. Then you can flash a recovery.
Like said above, phone HAS to have unlocked bootloader to flash custom ROMs and recovery(which is why you're getting FAILED: signature verify fail). Can't flash custom recovery/ROMs with a locked bootloader.
Go to HTCDev.com and unlock the bootloader like before, then head over to the collection of stock backups thread(in general section) download a nandroid backup for your device and restore it. After that you can flash back the stock recovery(also in the collection thread) and just do the OTA updates until you get to 4.4.4 to use the latest ViperROM.
SunShine don't work with a modifyed custom Rom like ViperS. I flashed ARHD (or stock Rom) and got S-Off with SunShine.
Firewater don't work at all anymore so you have to use SunShine and pay the 25$ it cost.

Its not a bad one. At least better than many thread titles that say things like "Need help". Which of course is obvious, since its a Q&A, help forum! At least you tried to classify your issue!
Although the question of whether its a "soft brick" is not a critical one. IMO the term "soft brick" really doesn't mean anything. It simply means the user just got himself into a jam and doesn't know how to recover. And recovering is usually just a matter of knowing the right simple steps. More important to whether its a "soft brick", is whether the phone is truly bricked or not. And as long as the screen comes on, this phone is virtually never bricked.
RUUs don't exist for Euro versions (only the US versions, as far as I know).
The bootloader needs to be UNLOCKED to flash anything. Either just use the previous unlock bin code and fastboot command, or go through HTCDev.com unlock process again (as previously suggested). Then flash custom recovery, and flash a custom ROM or restore a stock nandroid.
Hey guys, sorry for the late response.
I did what you all said and unlocked the bootloader again. And that was it.
After unlocking it everything works normal.
You guys are the best, I knew this is the right place to come
Even the Venom ROM is on the phone. Everything else is gone, but the ROM is there.
Alright but I still would like to get the newest firmware for the phone. Could you guys give me a little help with this?
What do I have to do first?
I read a lot about how to do this. But as you can see something still went wrong :/
On the phone is currently Android 4.4.2 and ViperOneM8 1.7.0
First thing I have to do is, to grab a Nandroid Backup with the stock ROM, right?
I did this before, but then I read somewhere that the bootloader has to be locked, or relocked to update the newest stock ROM/ the newest firmware.
So if anyone knows how to do this correctly, please let me know.
Also when I flashed the nandroid backup (my own backup from before I flashed venom) I tried to update the firmware, but it wanted to update the latest Venom update.
Is this considered as normal?
Bootloader version (Hboot) is 3.16.0.0... At least I think this is the right one.
@jkolner: Didn't know that firewater doesn't work anymore. How long is this?
@redpoint73: Thanks for the heads-up Also I didn't know that there are no RUUs for the european versions. Good to know that now.
Thank you all for your answers
EDIT: I just tried to enter the recovery and it worked as well.
Oh and when I wrote above that I flashed the stock nandroid backup and the phone wanted to update the latest venom update, I think it was because the rom was still the Venom Rom, right?
Sure it was a nanroid backup, but the ROM was not the stock ROM? Or am I mix-up something there?

It sounds like you are trying to return to stock, and install official OTA to update firmware. In that case, unlocked bootloader is OK for OTA (no need to relock). But you need stock ROM and stock recovery.

You are mixing something up. The point of restoring a stock nandroid, is to return to the stock ROM. It sounds like your nandroid is made while on Viper ROM, not stock ROM. Either that, or the nandroid just didn't restore the ROM properly. Make sure "system" is checked on partitions to restore in recovery.

Its been that way for months now. But your hboot version is old; so firewater might work, might not. Worth a few tries; as firewater is free and doesn't take long. If it still fails, you need to use sunshine to s-off.

Exactly this. Alright, then I read something wrong. I thought to flash the stock ROM you have to have a relocked bootloader.
I'll search a stock ROM and recovery. Hoperfully it will work.

EDIT: After I flashed the Nadroid Backup, do I have to wipe something, like Dalvik or anything?

I wipe Dalvik and cache when I flash anything.
Recovery will wipe system as it flashed the ROM. No need to do so manually.
If restoring a nandroid without data partition backed up, you may or may not have to wipe user data. It might not play well with the restored ROM, but it depends on what ROM you are coming from. If error occur, wipe data and restore again.
If you are restoring a nandroid with data partition backup, it will be wiped during restore. No need to do so manually.
Alright I flashed my own stock nandroid backup. Guess I just read something wrong because I thought it will get the latest Venom Update.
Then I downloaded and installed the latest updates. Now the phone has finally Android 4.4.
After everything went good, I flashed the twrp recovery, made a Backup, rooted the phone, did another backup and flashed the latest Venom ROM.
Before flashing something I wiped everything, like you said.
All is good now.
I think now I can totally forget to gain S-OFF with firewater. But I'll save the link to sunshine. Maybe I'll give it a try
Thanks again everyone, couldn't have done it without your help
so here it goes:
i bought the asia tw m8 (HTC__621) just when it got out and unlocked BL,rooted,installed custom roms
so eventually i cant update to newer android versions through ota.
my hboot is 3.16 and i tried s-off
firewater doestnt work on asia tw and sunshine developer wont help me since i live in a county that can`t use paypal
so dear devs. anyone......pleasee help me out
i dont know what to do....
specially when android L is coming to our devices.
thx in advance
Collection of stock backus Go there download the nandroid backup for your device(1.54.709.12) and the stock recovery also on post 1.
Restore the nandroid backup for your device with the custom recovery(It was made with TWRP so use TWRP) flash back the stock recovery and just follow all the OTA updates to get to the latest 4.4.4 and you'll also be ready for 5.0 when it launches(whenever).
You literally did no searching for your problem at all.

I am sure firewater should work on your device. I just S-OFF and gained superCID. Your device is basically a GSM phone. The only advantage of doing OTA updates are that you will be getting updates a tad faster. The disadvantage is it might brick your phone with wrong firmware/device ID. My advice would be to try to get S-OFF again. If your phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked go ahead and flash a custom recovery such as TWRP. If you do no know how to flash your recovery you can download an app called Flashify and it will flash TWRP for you via google play store app.
Once you get TWRP recovery you can reboot into recovery and simply do a system restart. It will ask if you want to install superSU. Make sure you have superSU installed. follow the instructions from here http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/ I recommend being on a stock sense ROM. Make sure you have debugging enabled via developer option and enabling unknown devices. Once you push firewater to your phone and allow superSU app to grant permission you SHOULD get s-OFF.
Once you get s-OFF you can change your phone version ID to superCID via bootloader+adb command "fastboot oem writecid 1111111" After that you can just flash over any firmware you want. I say wait for devs to get official gpe 5.0 dumps and it'll be way better than an OTA rom.
IF your phone ever gets into a bootloop or frozen reboot it via holding down volume up+down+power. The phone will reboot.

Wouldn't integrity of the files in the system and data partitions be a problem?!
Cause when you unlock some apps which are in data partition get deleted.
and when the rom is rooted and im guessing the nandroid backup is rooted...
the system partition is changed.

Are you talking about system changes preventing OTA updates? If so, being rooted has nothing to do with it, it won't prevent an OTA from installing. It'll remove root from the device in which case you'll have to re-root(if you want) but it won't prevent the OTA from installing.
Besides as far as I know, unless stated differently, the backups in the thread are all unrooted.

Guess you should have made a backup of your device before you messed around. That way you would have known for a fact it was "untouched" .
Just download the backup provided in the link, flash a stock recovery and do the OTA's. You can even go through the small effort ahead of time and "unroot" it just in case it was "rooted" which I doubt it will be.

Root alone does not change system partition. Its only changes to system files you do after root that will prevent OTA.
And in theory, the stock backups in Mr Hofs collection should be made without root, I believe. Root is not needed to make a nandroid.
As far as I have seen, the couple HTC apps that are "deleted" upon bootloader unlock do not affect OTA. There are lots of folks here with unlocked bootloaders that were able to return to stock ROM and recovery and OTA.

One for a know fact as its stated in the download link. And it's very usable for official ota as its 100% complete. And if it bothers people it's rooted they have to read the second post too as it contains a flashable zip to delete root access. But that's not being said here because people probably don't read enough very well !
And indeed root is not needed for a nandroid backup. Only a custom recovery is enough to create one.
ooof that made me sound interesting !
Cheers.

Ahh ... you're asking about my backup that I uploaded.
No ... nothing is deleted from backup 1.54.709.12, everything is there like the flashlight, calculator & etc. No root, no busybox... simply clean stock.
In fact, once you restore the backup with full wipe of your current ROM, you'll get the setup wizard just like when you setup the phone for the first time.
Hey everyone,
So here's what I've done on my phone:
Unlocked Bootloader
Installed TWRP
Rooted
Flashed custom ROM with kernel (specifically SkyDragon with its kernel)
I am still S-ON
Now I want to go back to stock. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696147
Can I just follow the steps (unzip the file, put it in the folder, and use restore in TWRP) and then go back to stock (with the root the OP said)?
Thanks

What version did you have before putting custom ROM on? Was it 1.58 or 2.x?
If it was 1.58.502.1 you can also run the RUU for AT&T
But even if it's 2.x you can still restore the 1.58 and restore it, put on a stock recovery and let the OTA's roll :good:

Depending on why you are wanting to return to stock, you might consider that the Developer Edition phone is the same model as the AT&T phone - only the CID are different (MID is the same). I'm an AT&T customer and I've been running the Developer Edition software since about day 3 (I waited to make sure the phone was okay) and I have had zero problems with it. The only thing I sorta miss is Visual Voicemail, but otherwise I've been happier than a clam.
You do have to S-off to switch the CID if you want OTA updates, but a nandroid backup would probably work fine as well.

You can mount the partitions in recovery though, so you should still be able to see it when connected to PC then you can just copy it over that way.

I'm an AT&T customer and I've been running the Developer Edition software since about day 3 (I waited to make sure the phone was okay) and I have had zero problems with it. The only thing I sorta miss is Visual Voicemail, but otherwise I've been happier than a clam.
You do have to S-off to switch the CID if you want OTA updates, but a nandroid backup would probably work fine as well.

Yeah, I would have suggested that as well but he's S-ON so...
It'll be much better to go Developer Edition, like you said model is the same, shouldn't have problems with radio etc and you'll definitely get updates at a much faster rate than sticking with AT&T. Seems they still use the Telegram to push OTA's which is why 4.4.4 is months behind.

You can mount the partitions in recovery though, so you should still be able to see it when connected to PC then you can just copy it over that way.

Which partition would I mount? It only lets me mount Data, System, and one other thing but none of those make it discoverable in my computer. I just reflashed the ROM and am hoping it doesn't crash before I finish copying the file *fingers crossed*
I would have liked to S-OFF if possible but not sure anymore about that seeing how the only way is through sunshine :c
Back to stock thanks so much !

Telegram? Are you kidding? Somewhere out there is a pony with a thumbdrive on his back racing towards Taiwan.
Can't get back to stock.

RUUs, OTAs, Stock TWRP Backups, Firmware & More Collection
Grab your CID nandroid from link provided, unpack it into TWRP/Philz backup folder, restore. Flash back stock recovery if you prefer(a MUST if you want to do OTAs)

Big Boy Marky,
I have a similar problem. I had Insert Coin ROM installed. My Microphone is not working, so I want to send it back because the M8 is still under warranty. I flashed with the stock RUU, but the bootloader had re-locked. I unlocked bootloader again to root the phone in order to get the bootloader back to "Locked State." While rooting I crashed into a wall while installing superuser and I can't get binaries installed in order to be rooted. I have a HTC one M8 At&T Harmon Kardon Edition. Anything I can do to get it back to factory stock?
Thanks,
Teknokill
I really need to get a VODAP001 UK RUU or something for me to get back to a stock state to send my m8 to htc for repair under warranty.
I am s-off with ARHD on firmware 4.16.401.10
I need it so it will be excepted for warranty. please help i am sending it away this thursday!
Or if someone could explain to me how to get it into a stock state so htc don't refuse it for a fix of my dodgy vibrate motor.
I understand how to flash roms, firmware, reset tampered etc I just need someone to tell me what to flash to get it back to a Vodafone m8 here in the UK!

Hi Eddy, I have been in your RUU thread and have read a lot, but cant see a VODAP001 for UK in the thread. I have spoken to a guy with VODAP001 but based on german rom.
Is there a way round this as I am s-off, surely If I find the right bits I can get to a stock state for a warranty repair? I'm getting nervous I wont be able to restore back to a factory state before the courier comes on thursday
These should do the job...
TWRP 3.29.161.9 Nandroid backup : https://mega.co.nz/#!bFNHGIxQ!PcbrsW...D6Q_BvrrwrWtGg (Flash this first in TWRP)
Untouched 3.29.161.9 Firmware : https://mega.co.nz/#!6BUBXCDA!k17OO6...uxG8DJbeVgxkY8 (Flash this second in RUU mode)
Although they apparently need decrypting. See my note in the backup thread after yours

Ok Eddy, thanks mate, Im just going to have to go for it aren't i!
So can I just run through and confirm with you:
Change CID back to VODAP001.
flash the nandroid backup in restore in twrp
flash the firmware in fastboot ruu...
Then look up on forum to change back to 'Locked'
Is this it have I missed any steps? I will give a go tonight and let you know, otherwise Im going to have to try and cancel this htc warrants fix as they will probably refuse and charge me!
I do have a friend sat next to me at work, who has an unrooted stock Vodafone m8, is there anyway he can create a RUU for me to apply to my phone?! - just another option I was thinking....
RUU - no. Backup - yes

I'm guessing he will need to be root to do the nandroid backup with twrp? I will ask him....

no he doesn't need a root - if he will root then the backup will not be worth much
you can put device in fastboot - start TWRP - WITHOUT flashing - and do NANDROID backup then
it would make untouched Nandroid backup

how do you get into twrp i thought you need to be root to change recovery?
If the bootloader is unlocked you can just boot into TWRP by using fastboot boot recovery.img as opposed to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. This wa it'll just temporarily load TWRP and allow you to back the phone up
Hi EddyOS, my apologies for being slow on the uptake but please can you help as I need to restore my M8 back to stock and I require the software in your previous reply. Please can you help with the decryption key? Your help would be gratefully received. Thanks.

So to return to stock, both these files should be flashed through TWRP, then relock the Bootloader?

No, not flash through TWRP
1st file - restore not install through TWRP
relock bootloader
2nd file - flash in RUU mode
done

When I reboot into Recovery to restore the first file I cannot find or browse to it. I put it in the Downloads folder but cant get there to select it for Restore, any ideas or help would be much appreciated.

Before I give a proper guide for newbie ... please post your fastboot getvar all result (minus serial no. & imei no.)
I need to make sure my guide is correct for your device version.
Also tell me why you need to relock bootloader ? If it is to update to the latest, no need to relock bootloader

While ckpv5 is right about getting your phone details I can add that to see the backup in recovery the files need to be in a folder with your phone serial number as the title in 'Backups'. To find the correct name of the folder first make a backup of your current rom in recovery. This will create a folder with the correct title then you can copy in the files from the backup you want to restore.
After doing that you should be able to see the backup you want to restore.
