Firstly, you should not start flashing stuff to your phone unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing. The community is here to help, not to bail you out because you couldn't be bothered to read the instructions carefully.
Right rant over lets try and get this phone working again. As you have already flashed the rom, that's a start. You now need to go into the bootloader to flash the kernel and ram disk.
So step by step:
1) Boot into the bootloader (hold volume down and power)
2) Download the appropriate boot.img from the ARHD thread.
3) Place the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.
4) From the Command Line run fasboot flash boot boot.img
5) Then run fastboot erase cache
I may be wrong but I think the ARHD boot.img contains a script which automates steps 4 and 5 in which case you can just run the script and ignore these steps. Once you have done all this the phone will boot normally.

Have u installed the SDK platform tools in ur computer?if not type on google Android SDK and download it then you can do the following. place the image file (which is the kernel) in the path of SDK(where is installed. Mine for example is on C:\Program files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\(Place here UR kernel file) )
afterwards open an CMD and then type the following fastboot flash boot NAME_OF_IMAGE.IMG. everything that dr97.. said is right u should do those steps first. my guidance is on what to do and where to place the kernel. ill be online all time to answer you as sooner i can.
Good luck m8

i didnt forget you just checking if we can do it with other way.
found a way. go here download it. Make sure u have the HTC sync installed. Once u download the tool u will find 2 files one exe and one folder.inside the folder u will find 2nd folder with name Kernels. place there your kernel and go back one folder where you will find Windows Batch file with name UserKer Press it and follow the instructions
One more edit. Rename the Kernel as Boot! or else i think it will not work the script
GOOD LUCK

If you are now trying to get back to stock then you need to know a few things first. If you have a branded phone (locked to a network provider) then you will need to download their RUU for the phone, if you have an unbranded phone (can use any sim card in it) then you will need to flash the unbranded RUU for your phone. and unbranded RUU can be Identified if the firmware is like the following: x.xx.401.x, a branded phone goes something like: x.xx.771.x (this is for 3 UK, the 771 part will be different depending on your network).
Secondly what firmware were you on before flashing a custom ROM onto your phone? were you on 1.26, or 1.28, or 1.29? you will need to have the relevant stock recovery and RUU for your firmware version. If you can't remember then what is your hboot version? if its 0.43 then you are most probably on 1.26, 0.94 should be for 1.28, and 0.95 I believe is for the 1.29 variant.
you can unlock your bootloader again using the same unlock.bin file from the HTCDEV site to flash the right stock recovery onto your phone, then relock the bootloader again and then run the RUU. This should bring you back to almost factory defaults.
you should be able to find the right RUU from THIS thread, The right recovery from HERE and disaster recovery tutorial from HERE
And next time PLEASE READ UP ON HOW TO DO THIS STUFF, BEFORE ACTUALLY DOING IT.

and yes i have the unlock.bin that was sent to me by htc can u please be so kind and tell me step by step how:1-flash my unlock.bin
2- then flash the stock recovery for my device thanks alot alot in advance really appreciate every one that is trying to help thank u guys
you can unlock your bootloader again with the same unlock.bin file you got off the HTCDEV site and using the following command in command prompt: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin ... the signature error could possibly point to having the wrong stock recovery. did you flash the 1.29.401.11 stock recovery?
Edit: could you post the link to where you got that RUU from? I might possibly be able to extract the recovery.img file from it, as I think the 1.29.401.11 recovery might be wrong for you, you might need the 1.29.415.11 recovery to be flashed...

You shouldn't relocked it on the first place, because from what i read at the OP, you have your phone unlocked and rooted..if you follow my guide, my friend, you will have a fully working phone again..do you even read it..
Hello all,
The name of this post says it all really, I am trying to update to Hboot 1.72 but I have no idea how This may be difficult as I have a new computer, and don't have any of the old folder I used to do this before so I will have to start from scratch again I have the Android SDK, so I can take any files needed from there, but apart from that I literally have nothing. Also, I am a complete novice with all this stuff so you may need to "dumb down" your answers a bit Thanks in advance.
Current:
Hboot: 1.32.0000
CID: HTC_001
CWM: 5.8.4.0

The reason I'm trying to do this is because I'm on CyanogenMod 10.1 and the 10.2 update (Android 4.3) requires the newer hboot, so how would I go about doing this myself (step by step)?
Also Tigerlight, I'm fairly confident that JB FW doesn't let you use non Sense based ROM's afterwards, and to be honest I prefer doing things like this myself rather than letting software do it for you
Well...
You should be able to have CM 1.2 on 1.39...
But you Will have to wait for the firmware zip to be uploaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
in order to be able to update it manually... You could download the OTA files and extract that firmware.zip yourself and than find a tutorial on how to flash a firmware.zip... there are plenty of them out here

JBFW flasher upgrades hboot, which has nothing whatsoever to do with what Sense or AOSP ROM you flash afterward so long as that hboot is compatible.
And why on earth type all the instructions manually when the tools exist.
And the 1.72 hboot firmware has been uploaded HERE.

Ok, may have been a bit wrong there..... :silly: Still, I like to learn how to do this sort of thing so that if anything ever goes wrong I have the knowledge to fix it. Once I have the firmware, what do I need to do?
Just downloaded JBFW out of interest, and when you go to update it says this: After upgrade you will not be able to - Install a fully functional Non-Sense ROM, so I was right that I can't use that software, and anyway wouldn't want to tbph Anyone know how to manually update hboot given that I have no files from when I rooted anymore? :laugh:
Once you have the firmware.zip file you have to
1:relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
2: boot into ruu mode
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
3: flash the firmware.zip
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Maybe needed twice (only if the command returns an error)
Then unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery. Preferably repacked twrp, or philz touch recovery.
Then full wipe the phone in recovery and install the rom.zip and fastboot flash the boot.img.
That sums it up pretty much

Thanks Mr Hofs,
Already found out about 20 mins ago: you actually responded to someone else a while back and I used those instructions. I may have messed up quite a lot though: forgot to put the CM 10.2 zip on the phone before hand and now the phone is acting really weird..... I'll let you know if I need help but I have a few ideas first
Thanks again, I appreciate the help.
can someone please help me in noob terms how to root my htc one m8, it has software version htc sense 6, on adroid 4.4.4, i have read loads about s off, bootloader and all sortes but understand none and dont understamd which order i need to do them in if needed.... anyone??
You need to unlock the bootloader. Flash a custom recovery with fastboot. Then root.
There's links to threads on all this here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
If you don't understand the instructions in the threads for each, you need to read more. Not much else anyone can do.
S-off is not necessary, nice to have, but not necessary. ?
thnx
ok thanks so me thinking for some reason that because it is on android 4.4.4 that it cant be done yet isnt right?
You should be able to unlock bootloader, and once done, you're set.
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------
S-off with sunshine may or may not work... But just for root and roms, S-off isn't required.
help again

Rule #1 of the forums: Search Before Posting
"You get this message" isn't the message you got.
Download TWRP from here.
Rename it to recovery.img
Place it into your fastboot folder.
Hook up to adb/fastboot.
Issue the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot.
Done.
Hello All,
So I recently bought a M8 and I just need some help in getting the steps nailed down correctly. Be warned long post with lots of questions...
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.32.111.3
fastboot oem readcid
(bootloader) cid: T-MOB101
That is basically my device, now due to it being 4.4.4 from factory I am unable to use Sunshine & Weaksauce. I could wait until the new year but why
bother .
First step:
Get my factory firmware image after reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 due to it being a T-Mobile and
Germany and 4.4.4 I am unable to run the command listed there to get the stock recovery, so how do I get the stock recovery for my device? @BerndM14
Has provided me with a link to download the latest firmware for my device but it has the TWRP recovery inside it, link is this one: http://www.handy-
faq.de/forum/htc_one_m8_custom_roms/304821-htc_one_m8_firmwaresammlung_ruus_otas_backups.html#post2832636. I should point out that I do have a OTA
waiting to download and install, should I download and install it? The version listed on the screen is 3.32.111.9 and is only 183.73MB. Would it have a
viable stock recovery? Can I downgrade to a older version for the stock recovery?
Second step:
Once the above is done and dusted my next step is getting root & S-OFF & custom recovery. This is relatively simple because all I need to do is visit
HTCDev, unlock and then S-OFF with Sunshine and then a custom recovery. Correct? Sounds and looks simple enough.
Third step:
Download ROM of choice and flash away. So I am going with InsertCoin due to user loyalty from the Desire days . However I see people in the thread
mentioning that they flashed the latest firmware to sort out a couple of issues, I take it they mean the ROM file and not HTC firmware?
Fourth and probably not needed step:
Changing the phone to WWE and SuperCID? Do I really need to do this? Benefit of changing to WWE is changing the HBOOT to a more universal one? The
reason why I am thinking of converting is because I would want to get rid of the red text on the boot screen as listed here: http://forum.xda-
developers.com/showpost.php?p=51744965&postcount=1 however for T-Mobile Dutch the HBOOT CIDS are T-MOB003, if I flash that would it cause a problem?
I would also be looking at running the commands to change the flags showing tampered and unlocked but that looks simple to do. Am I missing anything? For warranty purposes I would use the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710735 but download the recovery file for T-MOB Germany instead?
Thank you for reading the long post and I hope that I have made some sort of sense.
Yes it will have the firmware.zip with the recovery.img inside it. Even the small 47MB or so, OTA update for the WWE from 2.22.401.4 - 2.22.401.5 had the firmware.zip inside. So just download the OTA.zip copy to PC extract firmware.zip and grab the recovery.img.
Benefits to converting to WWE or even Developer edition also includes the fact that those devices will receive OTA updates before any carrier version, directly from HTC. It's a bonus if you're into the "latest & greatest" scene.
As for making a backup before flashing custom recovery, have you tried booting the custom recovery? Philz will probably be better if you want to use the booted custom recovery to make a backup of stock recovery. You could also try and boot either TWRP or Philz and see if you can root your device without flashing custom recovery, that way you can at least use the dd command to grab a copy of the recovery block. <My preferred method, though it's a terrible circle. Need to flash custom recovery to root, need root to make backup of stock recovery... So hopefully booting the custom recovery will work. That being said, easiest way still remains to grab it from the OTA.zip.
Perhaps you could even upload a copy of the OTA.zip and share it on here, I don't think the OP has a copy in the second post
ROM/Firmware. You need the latest firmware to run the latest ROM. For most it'll be firmware with 3.x. If you still run on 2.x(which you aren't) you'd have some problems with radio(bluetooth, gps, wifi, data etc)
Thank you for the reply .
To be honest I have not tried booting a custom recovery because I saw this in the first post of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
fastboot boot recovery_filename.img (this does not work on the latest 3.xx firmwares !!! we need to get the stock recoveries from the OTA files)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I am not sure what to try to be honest. This toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51383278&highlight=ota#post51383278 mentions getting root without S-OFF but with a unlocked bootloader. So I am thinking that if I follow those steps, maybe when I get to the reboot phase I can execute a nandroid instead which might get me the files I want?
I won't bother with WWE then. I will rely on the dev's to give me the latest & greatest .

This toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51383278&highlight=ota#post51383278 mentions getting root without S-OFF but with a unlocked bootloader. So I am thinking that if I follow those steps, maybe when I get to the reboot phase I can execute a nandroid instead which might get me the files I want?
I won't bother with WWE then. I will rely on the dev's to give me the latest & greatest .

Hm, yeah I also had some problems booting a recovery, but I just tested it out again. I can at least boot TWRP version 2.8.3.0 so it still works for me. I'm on 3.28.1540.5 (Developer edition). Haven't tried Philz though, net a bit too slow to bother with even a small download
No problem. I am busy downloading the OTA.zip and once complete I will try the toolkit method and see what happens . Again, thank you for the reply.
I need some help... My phone seems to be stuck in fastboot mode and is not picked up in Device Manager of Windows. I can touch the fastboot screen and it vibrates but it does not nothing. I have held down the power button for 20 seconds with no result. I had just unlocked the bootloader and then tried pushing the Philz recovery image to the device with the command line:
Code:
C:\android\sdk\android\platform-tools>fastboot boot philz_touch_6.57.8-m8.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.541s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 1.547s
*edit*
Holding volume up + power for 10 seconds helped *whew*...

You don't need S-Off to root, just the unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and superuser.
@xunholyx Thanks for the post . I am trying to get an image of my stock recovery file first, so I am trying to avoid flashing the custom recovery right now . BTW Does anyone know if TWRP makes a backup of the stock recovery before overwriting it like Philz does?

oops sorry.. i see you already been their
your hboot 3.19 will prevent booting to recovery ... and no TWRP doesn't backup stock recovery
you just need to find the OTA.zip for your version it must be out their somewhere
@clsA I have the file
3.32.111.3 - TWRP

From that site but its recovery is TWRP. I am trying to grab the stock recovery currently on the device before going forward. When I unzip that file it has 6 items:
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.md5
system.ext4.win000
system.ext4.win000.md5
system.ext4.win001
system.ext4.win001.md5

I have downloaded the OTA that is ready for my phone but I had hit a snag. The file was corrupt, on redownload I have the small OTA but the recovery version number has incremented past mine, I don't know if it will be still useable with the ROM file from the link?

it should work, recovery does not have to be exact just close
and the file you have doesn't include TWRP .. it was created with twrp ... big difference

You can use any 3.32 based stock recovery for your phone. There are plenty of backups for that on this thread. No need to backup your own.
Thank you guys! That helps me a lot! Off I go to flash a custom recovery .
Hi guys, sorry for the noob question but, i need to change ROM. So, the situation is: No root, S-ON, Locked BL, Stock rom 4.2.2. I want to: Flash the recovery, unlock bootloader, S-OFF, rooting (if needed) and change rom. If you can please suggest me a rom with no-lag (possibly lollipop). Thanks in advance. (P.s. I'm noob with the One X)
Anyone?
Plz help me
IS it an international One X. I run Resurrection Remix 5.1.1
You will need to root. Leave S-ON. It will protect you if you do the wrong thing which i did plenty of times.
Have a look at www.onexroot.com

Is Resurrection Remix laggy? Or not? Anyway many thanks! Yep, i will stay on S-ON.
Not really. I find it OK. It does stretch the One X to its limits but the ROM works smoothly
You need to make sure your HBOOT is at least 1.72 or it wont boot

Ehm... How can i update them? What recovery should i flash? I have:
-Philz 6.0.3.8
-TWRP 2.6.3.0
-CWM 6.0.3.8
I've find on the net that i need the new layout storage. What is this?
There's a few steps that will need explanation in detail before you start. Do you have experience with the fastboot method of flashing?

Yep, i know the adb/fastboot commands. I've read that when i flash a rom, i need to flash their boot image by fastboot. Is that true?
Yes that is true
Check the following before you attempt to flash. And leave S-ON. If you mess up this will save you
*. Make sure your OneX is rooted. www.onexroot.com has a good tutorial. http://onexroot.com/one-x-root/how-to-root-one-x/
*. Be certain that HBOOT is of the correct version BEFORE you flash the ROM. If not then you will need to upgrade HBOOT and then root your phone again. Here is a site that may help if you need to upgrage HBOOT . http://d-h.st/users/ClydeB1/?fld_id=8110
Having done all that you are ready to flash. You will need the fastboot files and the ROM and extract the boot.img from the ROM
Rather than me writing it all down and risk missing some step, have a look at these various ROMS on http://onexroot.com/category/one-x-roms/. The tutorials are good and will give you help on how to flash, Look at more than one tutorial to get the idea of what to do.
If you get stuck post
Good luck
