Problems after restore (SOLVED)

So this is the first time I've properly bricked my phone and cannot fix it whatsoever. I am constantly trying to fix my phone now for 6 hours and I am at the end of my tether. I have searched for hours and read countless tutorials. I can boot my phone into recovery and that's about it. I am from the UK and have an international HTC One unlocked bootloader. Can anyone at least point me in the right direction to a tutorial that is for me, every one I have read is regarding sprint/verizon/att and I'm just really stuck.
EDIT//
So now I have downloaded a restorable ROM and it has said to have worked, but now I cannot boot the ROM. It constantly boots into Bootloader mode.
EDIT 2//
So after 11 and a half hours I have FINALLY got this sorted! What happened was I had done a factory reset in the phones settings as I was selling it. I must have reseted all the OS as it wouldn't even switch on. What i done to fix this was restored a selection of a backup that was sent by a good friend that commented in this thread! While trying to restore that I kept getting the error "E: Cannot mount '/data'" .. To fix this I went into TWRP > Wipe > Advanced > Fix and Format and formatted the data partition to EXT1 then back to EXT4.. I then restored the back up again and then ran a CyanogenMod t zip and voila!

You can do an RUU. That will revert your phone to 100% stock out of the box (except bootloader unlock and S-OFF) I can't really link you at the moment as I'm using the XDA app but google it and find the thread for the international RUU and tutorial and that should get you back on track.

Thank you for the reply, right now I have relocked the bootloader and am all ready to flash the RUU, I've had a look online and can't find it anywhere my CID is o2___001 but I will keep looking. If you find the thread I will really appreciate it.

Do not re-lock your bootloader or attempt to go S-ON, there is a very high probability that S-ON could brick your phone. There is also no need or reason to do this in any case soo best to refrain from doing so.
Not so sure as to the risks of bootloader locking but ***DO NOT DO S-ON***

I thought to do a RUU you had to re-lock your bootloader? I'm just so confused, never before has fixing a mobile been more confusing. I'm coming to dead ends with every link I click

You can do an RUU with an unlocked bootloader/S-OFF. Could you please tell me how you re-locked it? Did you just set the **UNLOCKED** flag to **LOCKED** or did you do something else?

Just simply by using "fastboot oem lock", I was following a few guides on how to restore a RUU and all of them said to do that as the first step?

Ok lets try another approach, what happens when you enter recovery? Can you perhaps format everything and flash a clean ROM?

I will literally be willing to do anything for you to help me get this sorted! Please, please, please! When I go to into recovery and try to flash a ROM from the sd card it either flashes fine, then reboots straight into bootloader mode and everytime I reboot it or press the power button it continues to do this, or else it will give me the errror that it cannot mount data or cache.

Can you post the output of the command
fastboot getvar all
Make sure to remove any sensitive info like IMEI, etc

I had Android Revolution installed, I sold the phone on eBay, went to my settings and clicked on Factory Reset to delete all my data. It rebooted to my HTC screen and it's been like that from 11am this morning. I've been in and out of my recovery trying to wipe things and factory reset things and no luck.

HTC One M8. Noob needs help fixing phone.

Hello, so quite sometime ago I rooted my phone, or unrooted it. I am not sure what the term is, I dont even remember why I done this in the first place. Anyways today I wanted to just put my phone back to like it was when I got it, and in doing so I have actually broke my phone I can't get my phone to boot up anymore, I always get a message saying I have no OS installed. I am really useless with all of this so I would appreciate it if there is a patient person out there who can help me get my phone back on and back to how it was when I recieved it. I am sure I need to add more information but I dont know what so please tell me what you guys need to know and I will try and provide the answers.

This should be the first rule when asking for help.
Post fastboot getvar all result (delete serial & imei no.)
Without this info, no one will be able to offer any help

Where do I find this?

Do you have fastboot & adb on your PC ? You should have one, if not how can you install a custom recovery and root your device before ?
If you're not sure .. install this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Put your device in bootloader mode and connect to PC
Open a command prompt and type fasboot getvar all then "enter"
Copy the outcome and paste here

I think thats what you want right?.

Yes .. that's the one.
You have two options :
Option 1:
Install new stock ROM with a RUU - Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555499
you need to relock bootloader - run command fastboot oem lock
run RUU (right click the RUU and select run as administrator)
you need to use USB2.0 on your PC
RUU will wipe everything on your device including your files on internal storage
Option 2:
Restore a non-rooted TWRP backup 4.20.206.1
No need to relock bootloader
No internal storage wipes
Read how-to and all the needed files are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Good luck .. I have to sleep now, good night

Option one just stays on updating 0/6 sending and nothing happens. Option 2 doesnt make sense to me, I really have no idea what most of it means.

Ok so this morning I tried option one again. It went through the first 6 stages fine, then it got stuck on the next set of stages at 1/7. When I restart my phone into the recovery screen type thing I have in red letters OS - (4.20.206.1) but I am still unable to start my phone up. I have disabled firewalls and also using USB2.0 when trying to do this process. Maybe this one that has been linked is not the right one for me? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?. I would really love to get my phone back working so all help is really appreciated.

You have USB/Device connection problem. First it was 0/6 and now 1/7 ...
Which windows version that you use ? try with a Win7 PC .. I don't know many people cannot run RUU on windows higher version that Win7. I don't have problem on any windows version including my current Win 10.
What do you don't understand about option 2 ? It's very straight forward.
Install latest TWRP 2.8.6.0 or TWRP 2.8.7.0 (you need to reunlock bootloader because you relocked it for option 1)
Extract and copy the backup folder to TWRP backup on your device
Restore backup .. done
Or
Just install any of Sense based ROM that available in Development thread to get your device up & running ... then you can start that option 1 & 2 again
But seeing you mentioned OS - 4.20.206.1 in red, you need to get option 1 done because the firmware installation was incomplete

Yes maybe I do but I am not sure why, maybe I need to look into seeing if my motherboard needs an update or if any windows updates are needed. I am on Windows 7 but like I said, it goes through the first 6 steps then as it boots the bootloader up again I hear the sound that my computer makes when plugging in a USB cable. However even if I leave it, it will not go past 1/7. But if I take the cable out it reconises I have done that so that makes me wonder if it is a USB problem?.
I dont understand option 2 because I dont know anything about all of this, I shouldnt have done it in the first place and I dont even remember why I did. I also must have deleted my backups as I cant find them. The part I was confused at, was which TWRP to get, then how to get it on my phone as my computer does not reconise my phone in the state it is in so I cant just go into the phone and place it. I also dont have an SD card with my phone either.
I will try updating my PC and try and get option 1 working and report back. Thank you for helping by the way, I really appreciate your patience with me.

Try also to install latest HTC USB driver.
Download HTC Sync Manager and install. Then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager but leave the HTC Driver installed.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx

Is there a way to wipe this OS version and try this whole thing again? I have found my 2.0 USB ports, I have tried a different cable and it still gets hung up. Only now it doesnt move past the 0/6 whereas it used to go through all of them then into the 1/7 and get stuck on this part. I also can try a different PC if need be.

That is what I would suggest.
Also, does your PC have USB 3.0 on the ports? This has been known to cause problems with the RUU.

Ok so I have done the steps suggested now, when I uninstalled the HTC Sync Manager it let the process complete. It is now on a screen which says Android is upgrading, optimizing app 17-261. Is that my phone fixed? Or is there more I need to do now that it actually has turned on?.

Looks that way. It should boot into OS after its done optimizing all the apps, which is normally pretty slow (with that many, it will take 10 or more) since Android moved from Dalvik to ART.

Well I would like to say a massive thank you for the help I really appreciate the patience and help. So thank you again. I would have been lost without you's.

Hello,
In this thread you will find the firmware for your phone. It looks like you know the process of installing your firmware, so if I were you I'd down load the proper firmware and try the whole process all over again.

Rooted HTC One m8 Lollipop to Marshmallow

Hi. I read up on various threads and could not find the correct tutorial or method for this?
My HTC One m8 is rooted, unlocked, S-On, and running Lollipop with a GPE ROM.
I would like to upgrade to Marshmallow.
What is the easiest method to do so? No thread I've stumbled upon appears to be what I am looking for, but then again I'm awful at this stuff and also just kind of cautious because I've run into many issues in this kind of work and I just want to make sure I am on the right path.
Thanks, everyone.

Did you root the phone yourself? If so, you should have ADB on your PC.
Plug your phone into your PC, get into ADB
adb reboot bootloader

How did you unlock your bootloader before ? You should already have fastboot.
Open terminal, type ./fastboot getvar all
If you need fastboot/adb for mac, try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390995

As mentioned, my phone is S-ON, and the link warns that in order to flash the latest firmware, I need to be S-OFF.
Is there another way?
If you're going to tell me I need S-OFF, I should mention I have tried, countless times and hours, to achieve S-OFF, with my friends too, and we just could not manage to get my phone to S-OFF.
So an S-ON method would be awesome.

You have the latest firmware available which according to Captain Throwback you should be able to flash his MM ROM and it should boot just fine.

Excellent. Thank you!
So, to refresh my memory:
1. Download the ROM on my Mac
2. Put my phone into bootloader and connect USB
3. Wipe everything?
4. Flash the ROM
5. Success?

Yep, but do not flash the SU in recovery if it asks if you want to. It will cause you to lose root, if the ROM you are using already has a patched kernel for root.

Hi guys,
will this method work also with build number 4.16.401.10?? My Phone is also rooted, unlocked, s-on and at time running Revolution HD 43.0.
Is it in enough to Boot in recovery (TWRP) and do a Clean install? Or will i have problems with my root Access? Thank u very much!

HTC 820 cannot enter TWRP recovery

The phone itself boots up fine, however whenever I try to load up recovery (I have flashed TWRP) some red text flashes, then it loads into fastboot.
I heard it might be a cache or bad TWRP file, however I have no idea how to fix either of them.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Which ROM u running KK or LOLLI ?
TWRP for kk & Lo are in this ZIP

I tried flashing the stock recoveries, but it gave the same result. Whenever I select recovery, the 'entering recovery' text flashes for a second, then the phone goes into the fastboot menu.
I'm running KK by the way.

Keep in mind to flash any custom recovery (twrp,cmw,philz touch) you need to have you bootlodder unlocked
If stock is not working can you may flash TWRP

The phone model in both settings and hardware info only displays as HTC_0PFJ50. Again, both flashes work fine, it's just that whenever I enter recovery, it goes into the fastboot menu instead of the recovery menu (bootloader has been unlocked).

Whenever I try that, it only comes up with the 'adb help' list, in fact all the adb commands ends up with the help menu apart from 'adb devices' which results in

Fastboot getvar all ends with a endless <waiting for device>. USB debugging has been turned on.

./
-Read me well before you flash this recovery
/.
THIS twrp recovery is for your model A51_TUHL, but for lollipop
hence, it won't run on your kitkat which you have rite now . Can you make OTA update from your phone & get lollipop but for that too you need to flash your working stock recovery & re-lock boot lodder.
After this is done Go for lollipop OTA update & when your phone will Run lollipop
After that again Unlock bootlodder,
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
- Unlocking bootlodder will wipe your device so make all types of backup
After bootlodder is unlocked stay at bootlodder and flash this twrp recovery 2.8.7
To conclude i think there is no twrp for kitkat your model .

:good:

Flashing the stock recovery rom still doesn't allow me to enter recovery. Relocking the ROM and checking for software update tells me that my phone is up to date. (not sure if this has anything to do with having no recovery). Now the bootloader is stuck in 'relocked' mode, and trying to unlock it again fails because I cannot enter recovery.
I'm probably taking up too much of your time anyway, and since I can use my phone without any problems (just no root) I think I might as well give up at this point. Maybe i'll figure it out eventually after a lot of trial and error.
Regardless, thank you very much for the continued support!

Its your wish

Hi.
I seem to be having the same issue as the original poster - on the same model hardware, whenever I attempt to load into recovery, it appears the system starts loading it then immediately bails back to Fastboot mode. This occurs using the recovery image linked from this thread, as well as with various other recovery images that I've tried. Each recovery image loads into the phone without error, but every time the result is the same.
Otherwise the phone boots without issue and appears to operate normally. Note that I have successfully unlocked the boot partition.
I've included the output of "getvar all" below, however one thing that may be relevant that I have noticed is that when I load into HBoot there is a brief moment where it appears the phone is verifying *.zip images. It's too quick for me to get file names, but the only thing I can think of is that it looks like it's overwriting existing partitions with stock images every time HBoot loads. Is this a thing?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi This seems to be the same issue that I'm having. Getting bootloop on everything, when i select recovery it bootloops. I relocked the bootloader now i get errors trying to unlock. I've tried to fastboot new recovery but get Signature verify fail. I'm not sure what happened to it as a friend brought it like this. they said they did the official update then it went in to bootloop. The bootloader said "RELOCKED" So i presume they've already rooted this and put a custom recovery on but then its been deleted when they've done the official update to lollipop.
On bootloader it says Software status: Official
This is the dual sim 820n version. I've asked for help in a few threads but with no replys but came across this thread which more or less fits what my issue.
Please this is driving me mad now. Thanks

You can follow this post instruction ( skip the part of relocking bootloader )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
easy way :
Download the RUU.zip from the linked post and rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip then put it in your external sd card root and reboot to bootloader ( hboot )
It will ask you to update confirm it and wait for a few minutes till it finish and ask you to reboot,that's it

htc bootloader info

Bootloader info is great. But if you are asking for help, you really need to tell us more about what is going on with the phone. I gather from the subject of the thread, that your device is stuck in bootloader. But how did it get to that state? Did it just happen spontaneously (while using the phone, or when you tried to turn the screen on after idle for a while, etc.?). Or were you trying to do something, like unlock bootloader, install custom recovery TWRP, root, flash custom ROM, etc. Or some other function, like install an OTA update? If trying to flash something, provide exact details like version numbers, file names; as well as exactly what happened when you tried to install (changes to status of phone, error messages, etc.).
Have you tried anything so far to resolve the problem? If so, describe exactly what you tried, again with any applicable file names, version numbers, and outcomes (error messages, etc.).
The more specific details you provide, the better we can help you.

Stuck can't get phone to connect to PC
Hi, I have an HTC One M8 which I just got secondhand, it's stuck on bootloader screen, usual messages ('modified' 'locked' etc)... I followed the instructions for RUU flash on other posts and am all set to go, but annoyingly my phone will not connect to any PC I use....I have installed the drivers etc...I am well used to using ADB, just can't get the phone to be recognised.
I also can't boot into recovery, just ends up back in the bootloader screen again. If it does try and boot it hangs at the logo screen....
Would welcome some ideas on where to go next....

adb won't work in bootloader mode, by definition. You want fastboot for running RUU, which is related to adb, but with important differences.
As long as you are in bootloader-fastboot mode (fastboot is highlighted near the top of the bootloader screen) which is often default if phone is connected by USB, you should be able to use fastboot. Try the command:
fastboot devices
And as long as the phone's ID is returned, you should be good to go.
If the command just results in "waiting for response" or an error, try a different USB cable, or a different USB port on your PC.

Still no go... Tried connecting on different ports and with different cables but just doesn't seem to work. Best I've managed is with the Aruuwizard tool which seemed to connect but I couldn't get much further. If I run fast boot devices it returns no device... Just a blank line....

Hello. I have a similar problem with my HTC One Mini. It's stuck in fastboot mode and trying to reboot/boot into recovery or factory reset does nothing...goes black for a sec and then back to fastboot mode. Bootloader is unlocked and it's S-ON. Any help much appreciated! Cheers!
