Alright, yesterday I posted a thread asking for help here. Since this is a different issue I created a new topic instead of posting it in that thread.
Since my Android was screwed up and I wanted to revert back to a Sense ROM for a while now, I thought I might as well do that now. I tried it with this guide. Changed my CID to Super CID, flashed the firmware, and did that factory reset in the bootloader. But, since the OS is screwed up and my recovery is gone, I can't use adb anymore. I also can't use it in the bootloader. So, no OS, no recovery, no adb as far as I can tell.
I'm clueless and having a little panic attack here. Any help would be awesome.
Connect your phone in fastboot and then run fastboot getvar all and post the results (minus your S/N and IMEI) and we'll see what you need to get working again
Alright, here it goes.

This is easy, just flash the 4.16.401.10 RUU and jobs done...

Step 3 applies to you as Step 1 and 2 you don't need to do but make sure you download the files required (you can do Step 2 if you want to change your CID back but that's up to you)
Alright, thanks. What exactly will this get me? And will I be able to flash a custom Sense based rom like InsertCoin then? If so, what steps do I take from here? I'm not really that experienced and kind of afraid I'll screw up again without someone holding my hand through the process.
This will get your phone running 100% stock Sense Lollipop as if you just took the phone out the box. You can then flash a custom ROM (if you'd like) using the guides on here
I haven't done anything yet, but with my goal being having installed InsertCoin, can I just flash TWRP now and flash the InsertCoin zip? I have already gotten to the point in the video I mentioned where I had to flash the firmware. I stopped at the point he went into Android again to enable USB debugging since I wasn't able to that. I didn't go any further because I was afraid of messing my phone up.
You're better off doing what I suggested to make sure everything is up-to-date firmware wise and then go custom
I did what you told me to and everything was okay after that. Right now I'm on InsertCoin. Thank you very much!

Hi everyone! My problem is that if I flash any rom (I've tried ARHD, Viper), the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. I've left it in that state for almost an hour and it hasn't progressed further. Restoring my nandroid backups also yields the same result. My fastboot getvar all:

The phone is currently unlocked, s-off. I tried flashing with both, philz and twrp, none work.

I have tried clearing the cache partition multiple times, but it doesn't help.

@EddyOS, @nkk71 please see this. I think there's something wrong with my /data partition..
Did you recently do the GPE conversion?
May be you should try to flash the stock rom and stock recovery then flash the ruu.

This, the partitions get altered so you can't just simply flash back
According to the OP's getvar output they've NOT done the GPe conversion as the HBOOT version included in the RUU is 3.18.0.0000 and the OP is still on 3.16.0.0000
OP, I'd follow my guide linked in my signature and you should be good to go

I hadn't touched the firmware, so there shouldn't be any problem related to that. Anyways, a rom and recovery do Not affect an RUU flash.

I flashed the international fw zip, and ARHD, (I had checked the hash of the file) and it still didn't work. Also, when I would reboot, some random artefacts would appear during the boot animation (different each time, sometimes wouldn't appear), such as there would be a random flash of purple across the screen or the boot animation would leave a trail behind it (like the effect you get web you would drag a stuck window in win98) etc. sometimes TWRP would act extremely sluggish while sometimes it would be fast and snappy. Quite a few times, while flashing any rom, the screen would go black and reboot to TWRP at random (even after disabling the display timeout). I tried formatting all the partitions on the internal storage. Still gave me problems. I tried to repair file system of each partition in TWRP. The data partition could never get repaired. All of these random problems lead me to believe that this was 99% the fault of the phone/hardware. Luckily I was within the 14 day replacement period and so I went out today after flashing the faux locked/s-on bootloader (I know I should not mess with firmware unless required, and I hadn't till now but I didn't care anymore since I was getting it replaced anyway. I also had 2 dead pixels and a scratch on my camera glass. Now I just have to sit back and wait for a new phone
We've seen this issue on Viper a few times and it usually happened after someone installed e.g. a VZW recovery to the GSM phone or vice versa.
A wrong recovery would flash stuff into the wrong partitions.
A RUU for your device, really just any, should fix it. You should run a RUU and then factory reset right afterwards from bootloader BEFORE flashing another custom recovery.
There is a cingular (AT&T) RUU out right now from HTC here: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2.exe which you could try - it is a GSM RUU. We don't really have WWE 401 RUU yet.
Just make sure you don't grab a SPRINT or Verizon RUU if you find any!!!!!!

Too late for trying a fix , I just want to know what caused it, and I'm 1000% sure I had the right recovery, because as I said, I flashed many other roms in the past with the same recovery, and the problem came after I tried ARHD. And this is the gsm phone.
Yeah well no idea then. Just know I've seen this happen from wrong recoveries. Also not the time to dig into it any further if you've gotten that resolved already I'll leave it as is. Thanks for asking me though. Just keep in mind I've been out of XDA since months and am only slowly reading my way back in so I'm sure there are way more knowledgeable guys around regarding firmware, softbricks and the like.

In such a big mess! I have the same problem as the OP - same to the last dot. I am on India version of device, and was just trying to update firmware to 4.4.3 and in that quest i flashed firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54899772&postcount=1392.
Post that camera and wi-fi stopped working - so I thought may be I screwed up with boot.img and reflashing Viper/ADHD would solve it. While on my way to install Viper I cleaned/wiped data in recovery and hit reboot accidentally which got the phone to stuck in bootloop. I pushed in back in recovery however, since then I have not been able to install either Viper or ADHD. I even tried doing a nandroid back-up from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54940131&postcount=1419, however nothing brings me past the splash screen.
Off-late (few hours) I am not been able to do a back-up (nandroid) as my recovery throws cant mount sdcard or sdcard1 both. Please help!

Yes, I did. Using HTCDev.
At the moment, I would be just happy with someway of going back to the clean slate. Is there a way I could go back to original/stock using ADB/Fastboot as recovery also doesnt seem to work.
Thanks

Bump!
Anyone?
Hello xda-Community!
First off, I have posted this a couple of weeks ago in the general help thread, however it quickly got swarmed and lost, so I wanted to try again.
I have run into some trouble with my O2 HTC One M8. First, my readout from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot getvar all

all: Done!
I have been running CM11 for some months and am pretty happy with it, but I want to upgrade to Lollipop. However, the phone won't let me do that, as hboot is only version 3.16.0.0000 and Lollipop needs 3.19 (apparently). The version_main is empty for some reason, I did not erase that part.
But now comes the kicker: To upgrade hboot, I need to return to stock (or set the CID to SuperCID), right?
Now, I cannot return to stock, because there is no RUU / nandroid backup for my CID (O2___102).
As I don't have S-OFF, I cannot install any other RUU. To get S-OFF with SunShine, I need to be on stock though, because right now I get the following error message: "Your device has a debuggable ramdisk (ro.debuggable=1). You need to flash a non-debuggable boot.img, stock would be best."
So basically: I need to get back to stock to go back to stock, or am I reading this wrong?
Is there a way out of this?
In the general help thread, someone said I should flash a ROM close to stock (he/she suggested Maximus HD) for this to go away, but I cannot flash any ROM besides the CM11 one I am already on, as none of the other ROMs allow me to boot - I simply get stuck during boot-up and have to reflash CM11 to use the phone.
The recovery I am using is TWRP 2.7.0.2 if that information is necessary or helpful.
Thanks in advance for anybody who can help me.
Have you try stock nandroid backup 1.54.206.5 or 1.12.206.17 from this thread ?

several months ago I have unlocked my phone, reset it to factory several times and in general just tried out installing custom recoveries to ultimately install a custom rom.
I eventually stopped before flashing a custom rom.
A few days ago I started really trying again and I have noticed that i can not install any custom roms without updating my firmware first.
My current version is 1.41.5 and i run android 4.4.2, way too outdated to do anything.
The real problem is that even relocking the bootloader, resetting to factory settings and trying to manually flash a firmware update it will not work.
I am stuck. There is no stock rom available for my third party german carrier anywhere on the internet. (Mobilcom Debitel)
It appears it is impossible to get back the bloatware that came with the phone which is required to update, right?
I don't know how to proceed at this point.
Is there any thing I can do?
Would going s-off help?
I would be very appreciative of any help you guys can give me.
I read in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Q : Can i apply an official HTC OTA on my stock rooted rom?
A : Yes but the system apps (carrier branded apps included) has to be 100% intact.
There seems to be no way to get the carrier brand apps for me. Is there a different way?
Edit: If I achieve s-off, would that be a way around my issue?
With your current knowledge base S-OFF would surely lead to a brick. I would wait on that. You need to return to stock recovery, take your carriers OTA's of which there will be at least three or four, then you will be able to install any current ROM. Search return to stock thread for a 1.54.xxx recovery for your CID.

First of all, delete the IMEI from your post. Never put that on a public forum.
Yes, S-Off would be a way, but the safest would be to run an RUU to update. Hook your phone up to your PC, and get into fastboot.
Download the 4.16.401.10 WWE RUU from here.
When the download if finished, double click it, and follow the prompts.
When it's finished, turn on your phone, go through the setup, and enjoy Lollipop.
Make sure to back up anything that is important to you, because this will wipe your phone.
Thank you for the replies, I will report on my success once I have tried what you have proposed, thanks!
Prologue:
So there I was, caressing my shiny and smooth M8.
At the beginning of the year I S-Offed, and added DigitalHigh's awesome Beyond Stock...
Later on, I used a standard RUU GPE Rom.
After repeated Wi-Fi password amnesia, I wanted Beyond Stock Back.
Flashing "GPE_5.1_M8_DH_080215.zip" gives me an "Error 7" even with repeated wipes... hehe... wipes
Searching didn't give me a coherent answer.
So I though, let's update TWRP... and...
Now
The thing's only usable in Bootloader.
If I go to recovery or ANYTHING, the "Google" logo stares at me in disgust.
Odd detail: I'm using fastboot and when it's stuck on the "Google" logo, entering "adb devices" detects the phone in recovery mode.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0, but all I see is the "Google" logo. (I can still feel vibrations on the screen as if I'm hitting a menu button)
I also tried to "fastboot -w" and it gave me the "remote: not allowed" result.
Actually, I tried to fastboot a lot of things and the result came the same.
Anyways, I'll give a detailed log as soon as I remember how, but the reason I post this is 'cause searching for this doesn't give an understandable or reliable result.
Thanks

Give the output of :
Fastboot getvar all
But delete the serial and imei before posting ! If you have an old bootloader you have to use the 2.7 series of TWRP. if you have the latest bootloader (3.18-3.19) you have to use 2.8 series of TWRP !
OOOOOOOOOHHHH, Where I get new M8 bootloader?
Hold Up, going to work, will post 'getvar' later today.
It's there, brah.
Take a look if you can.
It's an AT&T device, you are using it with AT&T ? And you fully converted it from sense to GPE ? You could also :
1: run the GPE ruu again. It will get you on GPE stock again and since you are s-off that should not be a problem of any kind.
2: convert back to sense (original AT&T with software number x.xx.502.x)
i am not sure if the AT&T RUU will cover the "back to sense conversion" so this might be interesting too as it involves the standalone flashing of the firmware first (you need a AT&T firmware, NOT the one posted there !!!)
here is more conversion info :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
and here you can get firmwares : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

Didnt want to start my own thread due to the shame..
Hi,,
I have managed to remove my OS, without making a backup. All i have running is TWRP. Was going to install CM12.1, but didnt update the M8 to the latest software that contains relevant bootloader. From here it went downhill - fast.
Ended up with no OS, no backkups, and no ability to flash other ROMS i think.
If someone could give me a few ideas, i would really appreciate it.

Your case is different and you should start your own thread but there are many same case as yours.
Here is one and the solution is in there.. run RUU - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-sos-t3192177
Anything you're not sure, ask there. Don't hijack this thread.
UPDATE: Thanks to ckpv5 and the links that were provided i was able to complete the reinstall - thank you so much!!
Opps - sorry - didnt mean to offend!
Will take a look.
Thanks
Mike
The RUU got me an OS and, right now, that is all I need.
Thank you!!
Long story short, I forgot my screen lock and wiped as a last resort. Realizing too late that a factory reset wouldn't complete, I was left with a paperweight. I was able to get a rooted stock ROM from XDA, flashed it and it seems to be working. I want to get back to viper ROM, preferably marshmallow (I'm currently on lollipop) but I am having a lot of trouble. Attempts to get s-off have been thwarted, and flashing viper (5.0.2) has failed. Any help would be appreciated. I can answer any questions.
What stock ROM did you flash, exactly?
How exactly are you trying to s-off, and what step did you get stuck (error messages, or other results?)?
When the ROM failed, did it give you an error message (or list any other outputs or results)?
Your statements on these last 2 points if far too vague, for us to help properly.
Also, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Lmy470.h6 is the ROM I flashed. I've been trying to push firewater via adb to get s off. I can't/won't pay for a sunshine. When flashing other stock Roms, the error is no error. It just says install aborted. When trying to flash viper, it says there's a permission error. When trying to run firewater, it gives me the PIE error. Getvar coming later.
Firewater won't work, Period. It had an online component (had to connec to a server), which the devs stopped supporting in Dec 2014. Nothing you do will make it work, and is a complete waste of time.
That said, you don't need s-off to flash ROMs. And whatever is wrong with flashing ROM, s-off is probably not going to fix.
The fact that multiple ROMs work, indicates user error, and you're incorrectly trying to blame the ROMs ("poop ROM").
What TWRP version? Need that info, and getvar data. But I'm guessing you just have an old version of TWRP (or try another slightly different build TWRP).
I'm actually using philz touch recovery. I only call it a poop ROM because I don't like what it came with and how it looks. Also. The ROM I'm using is the only ROM that works thus far. Most other Roms simply abort. Viper ROM tells me it doesn't have to permissions necessary which indicates the need for s off. I attempted getvar, however the command window just sat idle and wouldn't let me type anything. Am I missing something there?
I should also mention I've been using recovery to flash Roms. Perhaps flashing via adb would work better? Or work at all?
One last thing. Flashing the ROM I'm currently using created new 0 directories. I now have 0/0/0. Any safe way to fix that?

That's the problem right there. Philz hasn't been updated in a long time, maybe 2 years. Its almost certainly the cause for the ROM flashes failing.
Use TWRP, but exact version depends on your current firmware version, indicated in getvar. But probably TWRP 2.8.7 since you indicated you were using Lollipop ROMs okay.

So its your personal opinion and preference, and I would recommend you not insulting the work of devs that work so hard (usually for no compensation) to post their work here.

Sideload adb still needs the proper recovery, adb can't flash a ROM by itself. Sideload just adds move points of failure, not less. I don't recommend it, as I've seen it cause more problems than it solves (fails when simply flashing in recovery works).

Are you in bootloader-fastboot mode when issuing the command?
If so, try another cable, another USB port, or re-install HTC drivers.
I haven't been I boot loader mode. Will try shortly. Also. Will change to twrp. And yes, I'm on lollipop 5.1. I will change recoveries and attempt getvar. Results will be posted.
Getvar results follow.

Also, flashed your recommended version of TRWP recovery. It is up and running. I am ready for the next phase.

I'm glad I asked for the getvar data. Your firmware (hboot, radio, etc.)is woefully outdated as its still on kitkat firmware, which I can tell from the radio number and version-main 3.28.1540.5. This alone will prevent LP and MM ROMs from working (no boot or broken WiFi).
There are various ways to update the firmware:
- Restore stock TWRP backup for 3.28.1540.5, and corresponding stock recovery, and perform OTA updates which will also update the firmware.
- Relock bootloader, and flash full stock 6.12.1540.4 firmware following the Method 2 here. After flashing firmware, you can then unlock bootloader again, flash TWRP and flash the desire ROM.
I would greatly prefer not to relock my boot loader,as it requires HTC correspondence to unlock. That could take a while. Can you walk me through your first method? Possibly with links to other threads and downloads?
I messed up. big time. So i found and downloaded your recommended recovery image. Downloaded flashify for root, and flashed the image. Now whenever I try to boot, or enter recovery mode, i get the red triangle of death. Please help! I tried reflashing twrp via adb, but adb doesnt recognize my device anymore! I dont know what to do...
update: performed a factory reset. Was able to get device up and running again. Impatiently awaiting further instruction.

What did you download, and from where? Its not clear what you were trying to do here, exactly. You don't need root to flash ROMs or TWRP backups; and I personally dislike using apps like Flashify, for things that are easily accomplished with fastboot, TWRP, etc.
I found the stock nandroid backup suggested and flashed it using flashify. I have an idea what needs to be done here, but if an expert like yourself could leave me some detailed instructions as well ad download links it would really help.

He did give you expert advice, and you didn't follow it. Don't use Flashify. Any instructions you get from anyone here will tell you to use ADB/fastboot.
Also, you are going ahead without proper instructions and you can go ahead and do that, but go to where you got those other instructions from to ask for help.
Actually, in reference to the nandroid backup, he (we are assuming here) never said exactly how to use the files. Just what to do. I need precise instructions with links to fix this issue. This is one I've never dealt with before.
