I wrote restore (not install) but you tried to install instead of restore. That is where you are wrong.
See this how to restore but use the file that I linked above 3.32.707.9 not those in the guide

Thank so much. It works now but there is an issue that Wi-fi keeps being off when i try to turn it on in Settings.
Any idea for this?
Thanks,

Not sure if this got to do with your version-baseband: 1.19.21331147A1.09G
If not yet updated to 4.19.707.2 ... try a version lower to restore :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55076383&postcount=1728
then do OTA to 3.32.707.9 and later OTA to 4.19.707.2
Can you post your current fastboot getvar all (minus serial no. & imei no.)
Also please edit your post #1 to remove serial no. & imei no.
Or .. if you like to use RUU to directly update your version to 4.19.707.2,
you can get RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_WWE_4.19.707.2_R adio_1.25.21331147A1.06G_20.69.4196.01_F_release_4 14204_signed.exe from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56140330&postcount=1
BUT for this RUU, you need to backup all your internal storage to your PC or anywhere that you like because the RUU will wipe everything in your phone.
And to run this RUU, you need to relock bootloader.
1. relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
2. run RUU (right click the file and select run as administrator)

Please help

Your version-baseband show that the firmware was not updated. I believe you don't do what I mentioned in the guide that linked for you.
If it is correctly updated, the version-baseband should read 1.25.21331147A1.06G
You blank version-main also show that firmware was not updated correctly and you may not use the suggested TWRP version. Don't use that outdated TWRP 2.7.0.2
You need to this all over again. Updating directly to 4.19.707.2 with TWRP backup is not correct way.
1. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
2. Download TWRP backup 3.32.707.9 - https://mega.co.nz/#!wZhxRBjR!kNX7nA-4aLaw-vW15pfr6uXpH2dKa6RC2ZXk3w4NSuw
3. Download stock 3.32.707.9 recovery - http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/3.32.707.9_recovery.img/download
4. Extract the downloaded 3.32.707.9_ckpv5.zip on PC
5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.
6. Reboot, connect device to PC then open Internal Storage, TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./
7. Transfer the extracted 3.32.707.9 folder (not 3.32.707.9_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device
TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./3.32.707.9
8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)
9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore
10. In reboot menu select bootloader
11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery 3.32.707.9_recovery.img
12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install
13. your device should be updated to 4.19.707.2
14. done
If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 after OTA 4.19.707.2

Thank for that,
but my phone keeps restarting therefore i can't access internal storage. I gotta enter bootloader mode by pushing power button and Volume down button to stop it restarting.
What can i do for now?
Thanks,

Press & hold both volume up and power button. When the screen goes off, release both buttons and quickly press & hold volume down button. This will take you to hboot. Press power once, you'll be in bootloader screen.
Fastboot flash the TWRP 2.8.1.0. Boot to recovery, select mount, enable mtp.
You should be able to transfer files to Internal Storage when in recovery.

I got a warning "Its file size is larger than the device limit" when copy the folder 3.32.707.9. It is so ridiculous because my internal storage is 6 GB free and the folder size is just 2.2 GB.
Should i try another TWRP version?

But one more time Wi-Fi doesn't work, can't turn it on in Settings.
Is there some thing wrong with this version 3.32.707.9?

Nothing's wrong with that version but something is odd with your version-baseband which is more like a 3.18.0000 version
Try to restore this 2.22.707.4 version and see whether your wi-fi is working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55076383&postcount=1728
if yes .. follow all the steps to do OTA .. you'll have 2 OTAs

Hi,
Wi-Fi works perfectly when I went back to 2.22.707.4 as well as update to 3.32.707.9. Unluckily after update to 4.19.707.2, Wi-Fi doesn't work again, can't turn it on. The dump of variables as following

I have no idea why you still have Wifi problem after successfully updated to 4.19.707.2
Everything in getvar look fine.
The only suggestion that I have is make sure you still have stock recovery image installed. Reboot to hboot and select recovery, select wipe data/factory reset .. see whether this helps.

Thank so much!!!
Wi-Fi works properly for now.
You have been very helpful. Appreciate for your helps
Thanks again

[Q] Stuck in bootloop, can't access adb

Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum and didn't find a thread that quite matched my problem, so I started this one. I hope I am at the right place
So I converted my m8 to GPE 5.0.1 with the RUU from graffixnyc. I am S-OFF with sunshine. (It is a GSM international version)
I didn't have root access to the phone at this moment.
Then I wanted to switch back to Sense, so i followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
All worked out pretty good until the command fastboot reboot-bootloader. Since then I am stuck in a bootloop and after 2-3 times seeing the HTC logo in green, it shows a screen with a red triangle. (picture attached)
I can only manage to get in the recovery mode by pressing volume up + power. (picture attached) I don't now what I have to flash now to get it to work again. A new firmware, ROM or RUU? My current CID is 11111111 as I followed the guide.
Please help me fix this problem, I appreciate your help very much!
Best regards,
N4PSTEr17

Post your fastboot getvar all result minus serial no. & imei no.
Do you have in mind, which version of Sense that you want your device to be ?

Thanks for your fast answer!
As I wrote in the title, I can't access the phone from the computer. When it is plugged in, I hear a sound, but "adb devices" shows no devices found.

When in recovery (2nd pic) select reboot system now ... when it goes dark, press & hold volume down button. This will take you to hboot. Then go to bootloader and do that fastboot getvar all.
If stuck and seeing the HTC logo in green, press & hold both volume up and power button. When the screen goes off, release both buttons and quickly press & hold volume down button. This will take you to hboot. Press power once, you'll be in bootloader screen

Thank you, that worked perfectly!
My goal was to get to sense 6.0 with the stock version from HTC.
So now that I am in fastboot, can I just follow the rest of the tutorial?

That tutorial is not updated for quite some time. The last update was 26th May 2014
What you need to do now :
Download RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10 exe here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56140330&postcount=1 - the first link
This will update your device to the latest lollipop 4.16.401.10
1. put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC
2. Right click the RUU exe that you downloaded, select "run as administrator" .. wait for it to run, later there is a dialog box, accept, next, next, update, blablabla until it finish and your device rebooted... done.
Note : this will wipe everything on your internal storage. Make a backup of important files before you proceed.

Worked perfectly!!
Thank you so much :good:

[Q] Hi, no OS on M8, flash rom in TWRP "some symlinks fail"

Hi,
Apologies in advance because I'm sure this is a very noob problem, but I was trying to update my M8 to lollipop and ended up messing it up somewhere. It was rooted before, S-Off, unlocked, using Android HD 4.4.4.
When I try to flash the Android HD Lollipop rom in TWRP from internal or external sdcard, or from USB OTG, the installer starts and looks successful until it gets to "Creating toolbox symlinks". After that it says "symlink: some symlinks failed"
When it finishes, it goes back into recovery and TWRP says "Successful"
When I go to reboot TWRP says it isn't rooted and asks if I'd like to root. Whether I say "yes" or "no" it reboots to a white HTC screen with a little lock at the bottom. The lock wasn't there when I started. After a few seconds the screen turns off then back on, then it goes into recovery.
If I try to install the update-supersu from internal or external card, or from USB OTG, in TWRP it says "success" and no errors, but then when I go to reboot it, it says "does not appear to be rooted" and asks if I'd like to root it. Whether I say yes or no it reboots, freezes, then boots into recovery and I start over.
In boot where it used to say "tampered" it now says "modified", and under that "unlocked", "s-off", a bunch of numbers that look important, but nothing in "OS-".
I can get into recovery and fastboot or hboot just fine. I have ADB, fastboot, and I think all the drivers I need on my laptop, and both recognize my phone when it's plugged in and I type "adb devices". I've tried like 10 different guides to push and flash and honestly too many commands to remember, but nothing that can get it to boot into a working rom.
To be honest, every single time I've tried to root something, I've broken something, but usually if I keep looking I can find the same problem and someone who's fixed it and figure it out, but I've been at it nearly 20 hours straight now and I just can't see what I'm missing (besides OS Dx)
If anyone knows what I've done and how to undo it, I'd be grateful for any advice.
Thanks,
Josh
*** I think I got the wrong firmware, but not sure how to find the right one without downloading them reandomly and checking the android-info***

Boot to bootloader/fastboot then run command fastboot getvar all
Post here the result (delete serial no. & imei no.)
Will see what we can do later
Your problem most probably is the old version of TWRP (2.7.0.2) that you use.
You should try 2.8.3.0 if you have a KitKat firmware and 2.8.5.0 if it is a Lollipop firmware.

So you have a AT&T device.
What actually you want to do because there is no lollipop update for AT&T yet.
Since your device is S-Off, you can change
CID : CWS__001 to 11111111
MID : 0P6B12000 to 0P6B10000
then flash a EU firmware.
Or you take any unsigned EU firmware.zip, open it with 7-zip and extract out the android-info.txt and edit this android-info.txt to include your CID and MID (use notepad++ for this), drag the modded android-info.txt into the unsigned firmware.zip
Flash this modded firmware, should work too.
And important thing about TWRP : 2.8.3.0 if you have a KitKat firmware and 2.8.5.0 if it is a Lollipop firmware
Then you can install any of the lollipop Sense base custom ROM.

Thanks. I'll chug some coffee and give it a try.

Ok, I changed my CID and MID without too much trouble, but about "TWRP : 2.8.3.0 if you have a KitKat firmware and 2.8.5.0 if it is a Lollipop firmware", how can I tell which I have?
Oh, I used the ADB method if that matters.

After change of CID/MID, you need to flash firmware.zip in RUU mode not ADB.
Your current firmware is KitKat .. if you stick to it, you need 2.8.3.0
After you flash a 4.xx.xxx.x firmware - you need 2.8.5.0
Check this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

Thanks for putting up with all the questions.
I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. I need to update the firmware to a 4x one, then twrp 2.8.5.0, then root and rom? I'm reading the guide you linked, but I'm not sure which firmware to use, for example it lists 5xxBase, then underneath it lists firmwares starting with 4xx.
Or does it not matter?

1. Update firmware, flash the widely use - 4.16.401.10
2. Flash TWRP 2.8.5.0
3. Install ROM
No need manual root because custom ROM is prerooted.
I got to go now .. be back in next 4 hrs

TYSM!! That's what I was looking for

Ok, I updated the firmware and TWRP (I think), but when I try to do anything like flash a rom all the partitions come up as unmountable before the installer starts. I know I read something similar before so I'll try to find that.

You don't seems be using the updated TWRP 2.8.5.0
Your fastboot shows that you may use the old 2.7.0.2
Download and install TWRP 2.8.5.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m8.img
Then boot to recovery - select wipe - advance - format data - yes
Go to reboot menu - select recovery (to reboot back to recovery
Select "Mount" menu - enable MTP
Transfer the ROM zip to either Internal Storage or MicroSD (if you have one)
Then try to install the ROM.zip

that's so weird...from within twrp the little info bar thing at the top says v2.8.5.0
Ill install again

Yeah .. unless you remove the (bootloader) version-main: info, TWRP 2.8.5.0 should not remove that after you flash the firmware.
Anyway ... try the other steps that I mentioned.

You did it man, you fixed the phone I thought I would have to throw away.

Since he had a at&t phone, why did you not tell him the change the cid to dev edition and run the ruu in fastboot mode, that wont have been easier?

Different ways to skin the same cat. There is nothing "wrong" with the solution that was used.

It worked, and now I know to make 100% sure I have the right versions of everything BEFORE I start, so I'm happy.

Soft Bricked the HTC One M8

HTC One M8
Unlocked and S-off
From UK so with international network
Cyanogenmod 11 i think
Clockwork recovery
Soooo i bought the M8 secondhand with Cyanogenmod installed, however, i couldnt do any updates due to error status 7. i tried the normal fix (delete code which checked authorisation of phone) but to no avail. since then the error came back and i managed to get a different error on reboot: "root access possibly lost. fix?". I've cleared cache(s) and done a factory reset. No matter what i pressed it would be in a boot loop. I can still get to bootloader and recovery. then i tried to change the recovery to TWRP however when i try and fastboot, my device is not recognised by my laptop so i cannot add the ADB driver to the device.
sorry for sounding very vague / idiotic, i have no idea what i have done and no idea what i am doing to try and fix it. that means sadly i will need to be spoonfed the fix. if you need any more details or pictures of the problem let me know
thanks in advance

Are you trying to update to CM12.1? If so, the error is for a reason, and not to be bypassed in the way you describe.
If you are on an hboot older than 3.19, I don't think it will work with CM12 and 12.1. You'll need to update hboot (and rest of firmware, preferably) to proceed.
Also, CWM may be too old for CM12 as well.

Not sure what you mean here. Are you trying to install HTC Sync (and corresponding driver) by connecting the phone?
You can just do an XDA search for "simple adb" and you will find a couple really easy adb/fastboot installers.

how do i see what hboot i am on? and how would i update it?
i've installed HTC Sync but it doesn't recognise my phone being connected (so i cant view any files on the phone) and i've installed a simple ADB/fastboot but i can't see the driver option when trying to add it to my phone on Device manager. i have got to the stage whereby i have the ADB/fastboot folder and have the TWRP file in the same folder, just i cant get any further.
where would i begin getting to cyanogenmod 12.1, or would it be easier to revert back to a basic android os?
i know this is probably incredibly frustrating for you as i am a complete novice, but i greatly appreciate your help
i would post pictures to help but i cant as im a new member, i will when i can

This in itself does not mean the phone is not connecting by fastboot. And fastboot is the important thing here, so we can update TWRP, etc.
Try rebooting into fastboot mode, and try the command and see if your phone's ID is returned: fastboot devices
If you don't get the phone's ID and just "waiting for device" you do indeed have some type of USB connectivity problem.

Boot into bootloader, andyour hboot number is listed near the top of the screen.
Since you are s-off, its fairly easy to update the firmware (and I would suggest to update all the firmware, not just hboot) by flashing the proper firmware.zip. But let's determine whether that is even the problem, before we worry about flashing firmwares.

hboot is: 3.16.0
also my phone is detected by my laptop so all is well there
i have installed a simple 15 second ADB file but am unsure how to proceed from here

josborn42 said:

Your firmware is very old, so will need to be updated to run CM12.1. Also, newer versions of TWRP will not run with your old hboot.
Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output, but delete your IMEI and serial numbers (as these are private info). Need more details on the phone (particularly CID) in order to know how to proceed.

I'm going to suggest WWE/International firmware. The updates are available way before O2 updates.
Download this firmware (it also includes TWRP2.8.4.0). Rename it to firmware.zip and place it into your fastboot folder.
Next, boot into fastboot and change your CID to superCID (it won't flash with the O2 CID)
fastboot devices to make sure you are connected (a bunch of letters and numbers/your serial# means you are)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (a black screen with the HTC logo means you are in RUU mode)
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones) You are now superCID!
Now flash the firmware
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
If you get "error 90 hboot pre-update" (and you probably will with how old your current firmware is) run the same command again and the firmware will flash properly. The first run only updated your hboot.
The process will stop at 75% to 90%. That's normal and gives you a chance to check your console output. The last few percentage is the reboot.
The bar will fill to 100% after you enter fastboot reboot-bootloader
That's it. Good luck!

thank you both so much! so now do i just download the appropriate cyanogenmod version and flash it over?

hi there i have htc one m8 rooted s-on & software status is modified
i got a new update so i flashed the stock recovery then downloaded the update and pressed install
it was loading the update and suddenly the screen frozen on the htc ONE screen without responding
i tried the volume down + power button nothing happened then i tried volume up + power button
it reboots and freezes on the same screen - tried to remove the sim & sd card but nothing happened
what should i do plz ???
cid : htc_j15
build number : 4.16.401.10

Black screen after HTC startup logo please help! [bricked probably]

Hi everyone,
So my HTC one M8 was rooted with TWRP recovery. It was running Android 5.0 I think. I got an OTA update but I was not able to update it because of TWRP. I wanted the update so bad and I searched on Youtube to know how to update the software. I found a video and I followed these steps.
1 - Replace custom recovery with stock recovery
2 - Process OTA Update
3 - Replace stock recovery with custom recovery
However, when I replaced the custom recovery with the stock recovery, I downloaded the OTA update and updated it. But after the update completed, the device never booted up. It shows the HTC logo then it goes black! (The screen is still on, but black!) Have I bricked the phone? How Can I fix it please!
PS. Here is the video I watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPPT5J8xG6w

That video is nonsense. There is a blatant mistake at 6.44 and the knob doesn't see it. You need to go back to stock first, then take the OTA.

Go into fastboot and open a command prompt. Type in fastboot getvar all and post the output here. Remove your serial and IMEI numbers before you post. Hopefully we can get you back to stock.

But when I want to flash the rom its says "target reported max download size of 1826414592 bytes error: cannot load 'L50RUU.zip'"
Anyway, now my device is " Relocked" and when I type fastboot getvar I get this>>>>

Luckily you have a WWE device. Download this RUU and run it from Windows. Make sure you have HTC drivers installed. The easy way to do that is to install HTC Sync and then uninstall it. The HTC drivers will be left behind. That will take you to stock 4.16.401.10. You will then receive the update to 13.

No, the bootloader needs to be relocked/locked for the RUU.exe to work. It should work from fastboot mode. If it doesn't, I'll be on again tomorrow.
