Hey all
I have HTC One m8 (telstra edition) and was not able to get into recovery after flashing my rom. I get the black screen with the phone and red triangle thing.
Anyone know why? Also, if I was to require updating TWRP, what version would I use for Telstra edition HTC One M8?
That's the stock recovery I believe. You need to flash twrp. If you have root, you can flash it with an app called Flashify or else you'll have to do it the fastboot way.

ok, i downgraded from 1.72 to 1.34, ive got perm. root and want to install a custom ROM, problem is clockwork wont backup my current (stock) ROM, it reboots and freezes at the white htc screen.
anyone shed any light on why i cant backup?
Did you boot into recovery and try there? Did the process complete and then freeze?
Really got to add detail for anyone to help u

from Rom manager if i attempt to backup, it reboots but freezes at the white htc screen.
from bootloader - recovery it freezes at the white htc screen.
Sounds like your recovery isn't properly installed. I assume you used ROM manager to install it? If so try to manually flash CWM using flash_image
Use this thread for a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493
You can get the latest version of CWM (currently 3.0.2.4) here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html just scroll down to the link that says "HTC G2"
After you flash try to manually go into recovery and see if you get past the HTC screen.
still the same, freezes at the white htc screen, she'll just have to get used to using a stock ROM.
What does flash_image report? Does it seem to work or does it throw an error?
You have verified you have S-OFF?
You may still be able to flash the ENG HBOOT and flash recovery from there using fastboot.

it does have s-off.
the flash seems to work but still cant get passed the white htc screen.
Did you install the engineering hboot? If so you can try flashing your recovery with fastboot.
Don't think so, I just followed the rooting guide using adb.

I have same problem. Any custom ROM freezes at the htc screen.
I download PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip and install.
I have s-off, root, unlock, but I can't load my phone with any custom Rom, after install phone freeze on white htc screen.

Well generally I wouldn't recommend the engineering HBOOT for casual users (I don't use it myself) but it does have an advantage in that you can flash recovery from fastboot.
I would do that next.

I can get into recovery, but it's useless. No one custom ROM not boot. And official PC10IMG.zip from rom.zip too.

Hi, some ideas about how to root m8s 1.03.401.11, no way to do it with the latest twrp, philz, multirom... no way, there is something different from classic m8? thx
M8S Root/Recovery
Yep.
Got an M8s. Bootloader unlocked, but no recoveries available.
Stupidly didn't back up stock recovery, so now I have none! Would like to do a factory reset after playing, so if anyone has an M8S with stock recovery, could you possibly make a copy available please?
Need TWRP or CWM to at least be able to root.

whenever i reinstall a stock ruu.zip or ruu.exe i still get the red a boot warning about beind a dev version im using the latest developers ruu but orriginally it was a uk vodafone branded. is it because im installing a developers ruu do proper developers edition phones still get this warning ?? trying to figure how i can stop it without installing modded a boot ? thanks.
There is no way to remove that except with a modded aboot, unless you relock.

Red text is due to S-off. Relocking doesn't make it go away. Modded aboot (no red text versions) hide the red text by replacing the letters of the warning with spaces.
Returning to S-on is the only way to truly clear the flag that triggers the text, but why would you want to do that?

Used to be it showed up just from unlocking the bootloader, not just s-off.

I've had the mini, the M8 and M9 and red text has been from S-off on those three. I can't speak to any devices older than those, though.

But my phone says that it is locked I relocked it and then used the fastboot command to change the flag to locked not relocked ?
i have the Developer M9 and its S-Off and i dont get the red text when stock after i flash recovery or Custom Rom i get it. i think it the custom recovery that triggers it.
so it couldnt be the S-Off that triggers it gotta be something else

So basicly once you have used a custom recovery there is no way to get rid of it I even flashed stock recovery before doing the run and same thing ?

You probably flashed modded firmware that removed the red text.

Looks like it may have changed with the mini or just prior. I know with the One X, unlocking got you the red text because we didn't get s-off for a long time. It may have changed with the M7, because IIRC I s-off'd that right away and may not have been paying attention to when the red text showed up (as was the case this time).

All I'm saying is when I RUU back to stock with s-off I don't get the Red text.. But yes there are a mod that you can flash to remove the Red text but it doesn't bother me

You know, that, in fact, is what I thought. Because if you RUU back to stock, a modded aboot would be overwritten.
Jus so everyone understands I got a Developer Edition M9 not a converted to Developer Edition.
Developer Edition M9
Stock 5.1 rom
Stock firmware
Rooted
S-Off
TWRP Recovery
The only time I see the Red Text is when I boot to recovery from Bootloader.
I do not get the Red Text when I do the following...
Restart phone
Shut down & Power on phone
Boot to download mode
Boot from Download Mode to Bootloader.
But when I boot from Bootloader to recovery and phone restarts to recovery then I get the Red Text..

Right, here is what I have:
HTC 0ne M9 -Carrier is Bell
I have Venom Rom 3.5
SuperSU - verified root
S-ON
Bootloader Unlocked
TWRP- 2.8 but currently missing?
Phone doesn't want to boot into recovery after using suggested twrp method to upgrade to 3.0.
Have tried re-install in download + bootloader mode -nadda
Interestingly I can`t find the root portion when plugged into laptop (win7) but! can find it with solid explorer ( has a little lock icon beside it) suggesting it`s inaccessible?
Phone works fine....but I'd like new kit!!
Thanks all,
Colin :highfive:

Running supersu 2.65, will try twerp 2.9.
Thanks for the reply!
I has recovery! This means newer versions and m9's are not so compatible?
Anyone with a link for upgrading the Venom Rom with newest patches? Overall I'm trying to get Marshmallow loaded with the Venom Rom, any help would be appreciated!
Thanks all!
If you want to go from Lollipop to marshmallow you should have done that before rooting.
You need the official htc marshmallow update as a base then flash venom rom over the top of it.
S-on means you have to get the device back to official status before you can use an ruu or ota.
The quick and easy way is s-off.

I've had the device rooted for over 6 months now just about getting the updates and things. Will do the s-off to get the ball rolling again.
Thanks for your time,
