A friend of mine messed up his phone when trying to root it. He couldn't explain to me what he did exactly but the phone wouldn t boot anymore. He then tried to flash a rom he got from the htc one m8 android development section. Then phone booted into the os but he had all sorts of problems no signal/camera didn t work etc. I tried to help him get his phone back to stock i flashed the stock recovery.img and boot.img from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994 then tried to flash the stock rom also from that link, but it didn t work out. With these thing said i later found out that the carrier number was T-MOB009(not a htc cid as he told me) so i don't think what i did was wise.
How can i get his phone back to the stock rom?
i can enter bootloader and recovery(which is stock as i flashed it from that link), i will post more about the phone when i will have it.

Grab the nandroid backup for T-MOB009 from the Collection thread
Flash custom recovery(TWRP seeing as the backup was made with TWRP).
Boot into recovery and restore the back up.
ROM he downloaded and installed was probably one of the 3.x ROMs and the issues(Radio - wifi, bluetooth, data etc) all came about as a result of outdated firmware...He probably never bothered to read that he should have the latest firmware before taking the latest ROM.
Ty for your answer. I will try this as soon as i get a hold of the phone. I will get back with feedback.

Where do i need to copy the backup? If i copy it on the sd it doesn t show up at the restore thingy
Nevermind i have managed to try and restore it, but it fails it says unable to mount
LE: Nevermind i did the backup, it's kind of hard to guide a total noob through skype but i did it. TY VERY MUCH @BerndM14
Ok so i'm back with a new problem. I did the backup and wanted to update to 4.4.3 with the ota because the phone asked to, so i went and flash the stock recovery and let the phone download and install the ota but now the WIFI does not work it's greyed out. How can i fix this?

Hm, it's not supposed to do that, obviously
Check to see if maybe airplane mode isn't selected, try erasing cache, try factory reset(if all else fails) .
I've never had that issue before *touch wood*
Can't get ota update after unrooting
Hi I hope some one can help, I rooted my phone then I wanted the new update which I ccouldn't get while being rooted, so I unrooted with a step by step guide, when it came to the Cid number I couldn't find one to match so I used a different one, now some of the pre-installed apps are in French n when I download the update after its ready to be installed a message comes up saying can't update please revert back to the official htc software or something along them lines! Any help is very greatful, thanks.

Edit your post and remove the serial no and IMEI you don't share those.
your version number is missing but I'm guessing it would be 3.x considering you did the update.
by reverting to 4.4.2 do you mean just restoring a nandroid ? and it fixes the wifi ?
Try manually flashing the kernel after the update
or flash a custom kernel for 3.x if you can't find the stock one

Ok so i helped my friend flash the revolution 21 hd rom and everything works just fine. My question is why do i need to flash the latest firmware when installing the latest stock rom, but when installing custom roms that does not seem to be the case?

You need latest firmware for latest custom ROMs as well. Especially as far as the radio is concerned, if you don't have latest firmware you might experience problems with everything related to the radio i.e Data connectivity, wifi, bluetooth

However every time I install a custom ROM I get stuck in boot loop and the only way to fix it is to go back to stock ROM
Any ideas??

You need to manually flash the boot.img file in the custom ROM via ADB while in Fastboot mode, unless you have S-Off. Oh the quirks of HTC phones...

Wrong info. Even on s-on M8 phones the boot.img is flashed automatically so that's not it.
@ O.P
Sure you full wiped before installing the new rom. Can you give an example of what roms you tried ?
And DELETE your imei and serial !

I dont get it. This wasnt happening before the upgrade to lolipop. It also happens with multirom. Maybe its time to S-off.

Hmmm, well i can suggest to make a full wipe manually in TWRP and don't select that in the rom's aroma installer. Then continue to install the full basic rom. Don't delete or modify apps in the installer.
Just flash the correct Lollipop firmware and you're good to go.

This only applies to older HTC devices, and has never been true for the M8 (as another already stated). I don't understand why folks keep propagating this incorrect info.

What version number of TWRP exactly? I ask, since once in a while, folks say they are on the "latest" but then it turns out they are looking in the wrong place, and its actually an older version (and the cause of their issue).
What ROMs specifically did you try?
I did a full wipe(system,data etc except sdcard) in TWRP 2.8.7, and then the install of ViperOne went good.
Hey all, i have a bit of problem here.
To days ago my M8 started to randomly turn off , and now it`s happening more and more often , to point where it is impossible to use.
Before it started it got a bit hot, not to hot, regular htc hot.
Tried: Blues GPE,Lypota GPE (was on this one before things happened), Sky dragoon GPE
Things i tried:
*Reflash rom - FAIL
*Flash diffrent rom - FAIL
*Reroot phone - FAIL
*Wipe everything root again - FAIL
*Start fresh without restoring anything - FAIL
How does this sudden turn off happen:
It`s fine, when it`s plugged in and charging, sometimes not, tried to test GPE maybe one of them fails, it`s random. When i remove phone from power it works for a while if i don`t press any app, but again it`s like a lottery , sometimes it works for longer sometimes it just dies, and i get more or less stuck on system not booting.
Do anybody have any suggestions ?

When you say "FAIL" you mean these things actually don't happen successfully (fail to flash, etc.); or that the random power off persists?
Are you converted to GPE by RUU? Maybe try to RUU to full GPE "stock" and see if that helps.
You may be looking at a bad battery or some other hardware failure (emmc).

Depends some rom fail to flash some works. After flashing power off problem persists. As for now, i`m not able to turn on phone without power cord, but once it`s one, works fine unless i do anything (starting an app and so on)
At the beginning i used Hanson2000`s toolkit to root the phone, and after that installed GPE room.
Will try to convert to stock GPE with RUU and update on results.

The toolkit hasn't been updated since April 2014! It contains woefully obsolete version of TWRP, and that is probably why some ROMs are failing to flash. Highly advise to update to current TWRP 3.0.
How long have you had the phone, how long on GPE ROMs? Is the firmware up to date?
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

You can only do this if you have s-off.
You may want to try to RUU back to your stock (probably Sense) version, and see if the random power offs persist.
To me it looks like a hardware fail, most likely a bad battery. OP says it works when plugged in but dies when not.
My guess ,if all else fail ,is to try a new battery

For about 2 years for now. Converted to GPE ever since i got the phone. Yes firmware is up to date.
I can`t seem to manage to make "fastboot getvar all" to work, or i don`t know how.

Be careful with your terminology there, to avoid confusion. From your previous post, you stated you just flashed a GPE ROM.
This isn't the same as "converting" to GPE with RUU, which puts you on GPE firmware, GPE partitioning, etc.

I don't know what that means, if you don't give details on what you did, and the specific results. But I'm assuming you know how to use command prompt to issue adb/fastboot commands, entered the command, and get no response (or device offline)?
If so, check that you are in bootloader-fastboot mode, have HTC drivers installed, or try different cable or USB port.

I tend to agree that its a hardware problem. But its always a good idea to return to full stock by RUU, to eliminate the possibility its a software issue, before concluding its a hardware problem.

1) at first go to bootloader
2) connect device via usb cable into pc
3) confirm you are in fastboot mode
4) install drivers through htc sync manager
5) download the following zip
6) at first create a new folder in desktop. then copy zip into that folder & extract.
7) while press ''shift'' right clik on the new folder & select ''open command window here''
8) on the command prompt type fastboot getvar all

At first did you calibration the battery? Is your device still Hot? It's amazing as you could install an ota in such a situation. Turn off Wi-Fi and then check. You're still 50% Battery problem, you have more works to do.

Hi there in need of some help. I have really ****ed up my install of twrp and supersu from my htc one m8.
I followed this person tutorial htconeroot com/htc-one-root I followed everything to the letter apart from enabling Dev enable usb debugging.
1st of all I downloaded this twrp file "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8" when I should have downloaded the latest version of twrp. Such a noob mistake I know now : (
2nd I also downloaded a older version of supersu SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815 which I loaded onto my phone and should have downlaoded the latest version.
I followed all the instruction on the video and when I rebooted after instaling supersu my device is now stuck on the HTC startup screen.
I tried to reboot again going into fastboot and recovery and nothing worked. I know I should have just updated supersu to the latest version but I followed some other peoples advice and now I have completelty screwd my phone I think.
I deleted supersu from twrp and wiped the files as well. My computer now does not recognise my phone folder to be able to install any updated version of supersu or install a ROM. My computer OS is windows 10 and it now sees my phone as a cd drive so cannot install anything on the drive at all.
I can get into twrp but nothing seems to work when I try to reset back to factory settings.
Is there a command line way in geting back into my phone and being able to sort this mess that I have made.
In need of some serious help from the experts here at xda developers.
All help is very much appreciated.
Thanks Steve

These random "root" websites just copy content from XDA, and have little or no community to help you. All you need is on XDA, so I recommend stick to XDA.
Such "root" websites also don't give enough information, aren't well organized, and don't update it all. So they are very likely to get you into trouble, as you now know.

What version, if it wasn't SuperSU 2.79?
What version of Android was the phone on when you started? Was it Marshmallow?

There is really no such thing as "reset back to factory settings" especially in TWRP. Just going in and wiping things, isn't going to fix the problem.
Try to fastboot flash an updated version of TWRP. If you were on Marshmallow, try current version 3.1.0-0 from there: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Once booted into TWRP, see if you can access the internal storage from your PC. If not, make sure internal storage is checked in "Mount".

Sorry was this version SuperSU-v2.37.zip. I do appologise thats the latest version that I posted and was ment to be this version SuperSU-v2.37.zip this is the one that I installed.
Yes it was marshmallow.
I downloaded the latest version of twrp and can I ask how to re install twrp ??
I cannot access my phone internal storage for some reason my computer is not recognising my phone now. It was before as I installed supersu straight onto my phone internal storage and tried to boot the phone from that. It's now coming up as a cd drive and I cannot access to install anything on it.
In mount all I have
System >>> not checked
cache >>> not checked
Data >>> is checked
Micro SDcard >> is checked

Thanks again for your help

Flash with fastboot. Which I would assume is the same way you did it before. Instructions on TWRP's website: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html

Let's get the right version of TWRP on the phone first, and see if that helps. If not, we'll go from there.
Updated twrp
Hi just to let you know that I have booted into the new twrp. I am using FWUL and using simple-ADB and it installed it no problem.
Just cannot seem to find how to install supersu onto my device as my phone is not showing up FWUL OS.
Sorry, what is FWUL?
Updatefor you
Hi just to say that I installed supersu as well the latest version SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815. After rebooting I am back to the htc page. I have no ROM installed at all on this and it's saying there no OS installed on my phone.
I want to install kali Linux Nethunter and I have downlaod the correct files to install.
WillI have to install another OS like Marshmallow or kitkat before installing Kali Nethunter.
Thanks again for yourhelp : ))

You must have at some point in trying to "fix" the problem, wiped system in TWRP. System is same as ROM/OS. So if you wiped it, it's pretty obvious that no ROM is the result.
Flashing old SuperSU in itself doesn't result in no ROM/no OS. It just makes the phone stuck on boot screen, and flashing the proper SuperSU will fix it.

I've never used it. But reading the thread, it looks like you need a fully working OS. So pick a ROM, put it on the phone, and flash it. Then flash Kali Nethunter.

Ah, I see it's listed as one of the several options for adb/fastboot in the TWRP install instructions. I've never used that specific one, so the acronym confused me. Any fastboot/adb environment will work about the same. You didn't really need to install anything new on your computer. You already had fastboot on your computer to begin with (to unlock the bootloader), and that would have worked fine to install TWRP.
BackUp File
Hi there and thanks very much for your help very much appreciated. Before I did everything I made a back up and have the files on my desktop they are:
0C77AEECE8C258113148C6FB487946BF97B34672
01C669ECF50A775226B15B9F60EEB522AB34BE2F
I have ten of these files and a deafault file as well. Can I restore these to my hpne at all.
I am going to try and install marshmallow on my phone as that was the last OS that I had. Do I have to have the most current and updated version MM.

What did you use to "backup" the phone? Those don't look like TWRP backup folder names. They look like MD5 verification codes?
Individual TWRP backup folders will usually have name format of the date/time the backup was made, such as: 2017-04-22-20-43-56....

There weren't many different official versions (maybe 1 or 2) of Marshmallow for each M8 carrier version. Any version MM should do.

Hey everyone!
I just got HTC M8 from a friend, and figured out it is a demo unit. It comes with a demo app, which I am unable to get rid off. It was firstly rooted and mistakenly I removed the internal storage. After all the mayhem, researching for hours on this forum, I am finally able to get my device back running but still the demo app is there. I am unable to make any changes in developer options or through control center. I am new to all modding, HTC, Android and custom / stock roms.
I have few questions after reading a lot. After accidentally deleting the OS, and wiping internal memory - I was able to get it back, but now wants to run a custom ROM on it but not sure if I am able to do it with current status of my device.
Information about device:
HBoot: 3.16.000
S-ON
HTC__002
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP installed (but throws error whenever I try flashing a zip file)
The question: Can I install a custom rom without getting S-OFF and if yes, which custom ROM can I use on my device? I understand there is some limitation to HBoot version, but I am unable to figure out how to update it to latest version. I would like to update my device from Android Kitkat to Marshmallow or some custom ROM which doesn't have a demo app.
P.S: A noob!
Update:
After reading lots of threads, I finally bought Sunshine license and activated S-OFF, now, I am with SuperCID 11111111 on my demo unit. Now, I want know about which Custom ROM I can run, and how can I update my Hboot to latest version?
You can use this ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-resurrection-remix-v5-8-0-t3507210
Follow the directions there and you will be all right.

Might help, if you tell us what error message TWRP gives you.
Hboot version is too old to flash most ROMs. Also, such an old hboot version, is not compatible with many TWRP versions (might be the reason zip won't flash in TWRP).
What TWRP version?
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
I believe @ckpv5 knows some about how to get the demo versions working or modded. The demo versions pops up infrequently enough, I can't remember the exact details.

He says TWRP gives an error flashing zips. So how is he supposed to install that ROM?
Most likely, his Hboot version is too old to support that ROM.
Yes, Hboot version is too old. I had a long fight with getting it restored. I had to try every other TWRP version and suddenly TWRP 2.8.0.0 worked for me!

Problem I face:
- Current TWRP is old, I am unable to make most out of it. (v2.8.0.0)
- Hboot is like hanging in stone age, I need to update it - but I have a demo unit (it comes with annoying demo app!)
- I want to run Custom ROM or at least a newer Android version.

You should be able to disable the demo app, using the "alternative method" indicated in the following post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59735868&postcount=10
You can update to a newer version using the RUU and instructions on the following post. You will need to relock the bootloader in order to RUU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Be aware that RUU will wipe all data on the phone! Again, you will need to disable the demo app if you intend to stay on the Marshmallow "stock" ROM.
Updating to newer version (Marshmallow) by RUU, will also update the hboot, and other firmware (radio, WiFi, etc.). So after that you should be able to use the current version TWRP (3.1) and the current custom ROMs. Again, I'm not 100% knowledgeable on the demo model. But I don't see how the demo version CID (which is what triggers the demo app) would prevent you from doing the above. Especially if you disable the demo app, or flash a custom ROM (non-Sense) that doesn't have the demo app to begin with.
Thanks @redpoint73 for the help. Here is an update:
I finally able to get rid of demo app using SuperCID - means, now I have S-OFF device. I used Sunshine apk. Now I would like to update my device to latest Android (Marshmallow) - so should I follow the instructions on the thread you pointed me or is there something else I can try instead of locking the bootloader again?

1. No need to relock bootloader as you already S-Off your device
2. You got error because you don't use htc_fastboot as in the instructions.
Lots of love man! I finally got it. It worked like a charm through HTC_fastboot.exe. I was on macOS earlier and tried flashing ruu.zip through it, but after your message. I tried on Windows with HTC fastboot and wow!
I did a small mess and eventually relocked my bootloader! No issues with that, I can re-unlock it!
Thanks @ckpv5 for the final tip, and lots of love for @redpoint73 for pointing me at right direction!

Honest mistake. Relocking the bootloader is mandatory to run an RUU with s-on. So it's easy to miss the fact that the requirement (to relock the bootloader to RUU) is bypassed with s-off.
As you said, you can always unlock the bootloader again, if you want to install custom recovery, root, flash custom ROM, etc. Alternately, if you want to stay stock with no root, you can just leave it relocked.

That is a very open-ended and subjective question. It's completely up to your preference, if you want to do any more mods. You can try custom ROMs, root, custom kernels, and much more. There really isn't much limit on what you can try.
