need help returning m8 - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys i have soff and super cid and was on the latest viper rom but i have a fault and everytime i try flash a stock rom it just fails in recovery has anyone any ideas as its driving me mad because not i dont have no system os installed

Use fastboot/adb to erase cache and install recovery again. Try a different recovery, and make sure it the latest version. Try a different ROM, or download again to make sure the ROM zip is not corrupt.
Fail to flash is a known issue on TWRP, in particular.

yes flashing a rom for the one xl is the same as flashing a rom which is intended for a samsung or sony phone, it's a completely different phone so won't work!
firstly you need a different recovery, get philz touch recovery and flash it, that will solve the touchscreen problem.
Now do a full wipe from recovery, data, system, cache and sdcard.
load another rom onto sdcard.
flash the boot.img from the rom and then do the command "fastboot erase cache". This is very important and may possibly be why magio wouldn't boot
now flash the rom and enjoy.

Now your device restored 4.1.1 rom ? If so flash Philz_Touch recovery then install the OTA.zip via recovery, after that flash boot.img from OTA, then fastboot erase cache > reboot.

Can't install any Rom except for stock

When I try to install a rom it wont install system files it skips over them only to extract some apps which means no bootup.
Any suggestions?
I've tried to install stock and then wipe and then install a rom and i still get same result however sometimes when i flash stock with odin i get fail at the very end whether it be for HLOS file or modem...
I think i can fix this if i wipe my partitions and get them partitioned again.. or maybe one of Odin's tick marks could help??
:crying:
please help
I'll probably sell this phone
More information is needed. What version of stock are you running? Are you rooting your phone? Are you installing a custom recovery? Which custom recovery are you using? Name at least one rom other then stock you've tried to install and how you tried to install it. I would guess no one has responded because they don't have the information needed to give you the help you are asking for.

Im having the same problem too I cant seem to install no rom other then the backup of my Stouck MDL...I tired installing wicked rom and of course it got stuck at the Samsung screen and i did everything when it came to wiping it ....sooo the i tried insane KItKat and that to as well got stuck on boot and im on the latest TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery running MDL stock
I've tried to install with CWM Recovery by OUDSH and TWRP and no luck I've tried installing WickedRom Hyperdrive and GE by Kot49H I can only install stock with Odin and the reason its not installing is because its avoiding the extraction of system files to the phone.

[Q] Completely lost. trying to update from 4.2.2 to 4.4

im sorry if this has been asked before. i was very hesitant to post but ive been trying to resolve this issue for 2 days and browsing and reading as much as i can with minimal results. i am trying to update to 4.4 from 4.2.2. i initially had a hard brick but was able to restore life with the img file but am stuck there. it boots into paranoidkangdroid sometimes (which is the rom i used before it hard bricked but not the one on the img file i created...weird i think). i think the more reading i do the more confused i get. im not sure if i have to flash to stock to get the ota, or whether i can just flash a 4.4 rom. im not sure what other information i should provide. thanks for any help and again, sorry if this is inappropriate.
Does your phone boot into download mode? If it does, flash a custom recovery and custom ROM to at least get your phone into a working state.

i was finally able to get some where!
i used this method to restore my phone to 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
what steps do i have to take now to update to 4.4 and flash a custom rom?
do i first need to flash a 4.4 bootloader?
Personally, I prefer cwm over twrp.
Just copy a custom ROM to your external SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, data, system, install ROM, reboot.
Depending on the ROM you install, you may have to update your bootloader and modem.

Recovery rebooting without flashing

Hi
While flashing CM13 on my redmi 1s, I did a clean install, meaning wiping everything, and then when I went to flash CM13, TWRP just reboots the moment I swipe to install. This happens with any .zip file.
I installed CWM using fastboot, and that gives me the same problem. The moment I try to flash/install anything using a recovery, that recovery reboots and doesn't flash anything. My device is now useless since it doesn't have an OS installed and no way of doing so..
From what I can tell the system partition is bad because when I boot into recovery it isnt mounted
When I take out the battery now it just goes straight to the fastboot screen. I can take it into recovery but it goes to fastboot by default
Please help
Hi dude,
i guess you have checked the integrity of your cm13 ROM file and (winrar>test archive) , your best bet would be flashing a fastbootrom and then come back to cm. Head over to miui and download latest fastboot rom applicable to you.
And its usual booting into fastboot when there is no OS installed atleast for our device so chill dont loose hopes..!

Flashing the fastboot rom doesn't work.. My recovery is broken too, because I can't flash anything.. In either MiRecovery 2.0.1, CWM or twrp.. When I flash the MIUI rom via fastboot it just boots into recovery..
EDIT, I just got it into MIUI but the 4.3 version from china, without Google, and I can't download google via the MI market. So i'm downloading an international version now and will try to flash using MiFlash.
Does anyone know how I can fix the recovery? It still won't flash anything and reboots the moment I try to.

I can't reflash stock recovery

Hi, yestarday I flashed CM 14 with TWRP to try it, and today I have tried to return to stock rom & recovery but I can't do it. At the beginning I have tried to flash stock recovery that I have downloaded from op.net with fastboot and I couldn't do it and after I have tried to do the same process but this time flash it with TWRP and also this time I couldn't able to fix it. In fine I have installed the stock ROM via TWRP and I managed to install it but now the problem is that I still can not install the stock recovery and accordingly I can't install op3 update.
An another problem is that I have tried to re-lock OEM from fastboot and when I try to turn on the phone, is asks me a pin to enable it and I don't know that pin because I haven't set no one

No it isn't. Because I managed to put stock ROM into it via adb with push command and after I have installed it from twrp that works. My only problem is that i can't flash stock recovery.
i have the same issue. Tried many times but i'm getting a black screen after one plus logo for both stck recovery and unmodified twrp. only moidified twrp is working. please let me know if u find a way to resolve this.
thanks in advance

you can reboot in to stock recovery without any issues?? I think I should give it a try. And you are saying the bootloader is locked again ?

Great. Can I place the file in beta8 rom .zip file and flash it using adb ??
If this procedure doesn't you can download an older version of oxygen os and update it via ota. At the first attempt when you will try it will give you an error and at the second attempt It will download all the ROM again and it will reflash by itself

I suggest you to try at the beginning with the beta 7 because if that procedure not work for you, you can't downgrade to beta 7.

Thank you.
Will let you know if it worked.
I had that problem.
Solution as follows, worked everytime for me: (I have not tried this method with the newest beta 8)
1. Flash OOS 3.2.6 firmware in twrp.
2. Reboot to fastboot and flash official oxygen os recovery downloaded from the OnePlus website. (This is still the old version for some reason, thus why it won't work)
3. Side load community build with oxygen os recovery, this will flash the new firmware back and update the recovery to be community build compatible.
4. Before rebooting erase everything (factory restore)
5. Reboot to OOS, finish setting up.
6. Turn on advance reboot in developer settings.
7. Reboot to recovery via the reboot menu. First time boot into the recovery may take sometime, but it has always worked for me.
8. After everything looks good, go ahead and OEM lock in fastboot, recovery should work as usual this time and format your phone
OP did you find a solution to this?? Im on the same boat as you
