[Q] HTC one M8 recovery - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello;
I do not have OS in the HTC one m8. Now after pressing on power button and on the lower volume button, I see the following:
*** UNLOCKED ***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF
CID-11111111
HBOOT-3.18.0.0000
RABID-1.19.21331147A1.09G
OpenDSP-v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Aug 2 2014,01:07:42.3
And it can be shown in the attached picture.
I downloaded RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_4.16.1540.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed_3.exe which size is about 1.5 GB on external memory card, but I tried to copy this file to the mobile memory to be able to run it but it does not copy although it is showing that it is copying, but after finishing, I do not find it on the mobile memory.
Maybe it is because the RUU is large size (although the mobile memory is 20873 MB which is 20 GB). But what is the alternative file that can be used?
From the other side, when I need to reboot, it says: No OS Installed! Are you sure you need to reboot? I swipe to reboot, then it gives me another message: Install SuperSU? Your device does not appear to be rooted. Install SuperSU now? This will root your device. I swiped to Install but again, I do not see any change.
And always when I reboot, it gives the same message to install supersu and the device does not appear to be root.
It seems I have to know which file to be downloaded to for SuperSU and which file to be downloaded for RUU, can someone help and direct me as I am new to HTC?
Regards
Bilal

You can't run an exe file from your phone. You need to run it from your Windows PC. Plug your phone into your PC, get into fastboot, and run the RUU.exe as administrator. Follow the prompts and profit!

The problem is an unbranded dhd eu model. Its updated to latest ver. and never rooted before. I only tried rooting it with AAHK and htcsupertool but no changes whats so ever.

My issue is when i try to unlock the bootloader with htcdev.com way. I need to first run the RUU, PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
But that only gives me the ERROR [190] ROM IS NOT UPDATED "Please update your ROM to 3.12.405.1 in system->><derpderpburp and try again"
I tryed to run it in win 7 x64 and Win XP x32 under VMWARE. Both with same outcome.
I found some one with the same issue only with wildfire s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432474
Tryed finding the zip inside the app, but nothing there
Any help is much appreciated

Just found out that Advanced Ace Hack Kit works great when you have the updated htc drivers.
Sorry for the alarm
unlock bootloader through HTCDEV failed due to HBOOT-2.00.0027
I had the same problem unlocking my Desire HD with stock rom 3.13.161.5
HBOOT-2.00.0027
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.52.27
eMMC-boot
Solved it by downloading the RUU from htcdev with the HBOOT-2.00.0029 for 3.13.161.3 the one most closely matching my current stock rom (3.13.161.5).
When running the RUU it will fail.
To make is succeed:
1.) run it again up to the point where the installer asks to confirm the update.
2.) open the windows task-manager and find the ARUWizard.exe
3.) right click on the ARUWizard.exe and click on 'Open file location'
4.) in the opened windows explorer locate the the file 'unlock.csv' and open it with a text editor
5.) add your EXACT rom version (PD9810000,3.13.163.5) in my case
6.) save and close the 'unlock.csv' file
7.) continue with the RUU
Worked for me.
I just went into its app data, pulled the ROM.zip file, renamed it to PD98IMG.zip and put it on the root of my sdcard, hboot installed it
But I didn't need it, I have Eng s-off

[Q] [q] help - phone stuck after ota orange uk update failure

Hi All...
I have a prom with my Orange DHD...I was updating to the latest OTA but the update failed and now all i get when i start up is the green circular arrows for a few seconds and then the red triangle with exclamation mark.
I can access HBOOT and FASTBOOT menus, but Factory Reset and Recovery do not work (bot result in the red triangle)
I had a look on the SD card, but no update files were on the root of the card...
It looks like the download of the rom was corrupted and not saved...
Having done a bit of research here i tried to put a stock PD98DIAG.zip from a 2.3.5 WEE RUU onto the SD card root and went to HBOOT, but that failed as the checks failed with the below errors:
no image for PD98DIAG.zip,
no image or wrong image for PD98DIAG.nbh and PD98IMG.zip etc.
and also as the CID was incorrect
(assuming my phone CID is ORANG001, so not accepting the WWE?).
So...my question is before i get HTC to take it back as its under warranty and lose my phone for up to a month (i go on holiday next week and am not back till Easter - but would liek it with me on the trip), is there a method i can put a rom on to at least get the phone to boot and then do an update again?
When i plug the phone to usb the phone recognises the connection but my pc asks for Android 1.0 drivers (even though HTC Sync and the HTC Drivers are installed)
Can i run any RUU from my PC to get the phone up if the PC isnt loading the HTC Android 1.0 drivers?
I guess what i'm looking for is step by step instructions on getting the phone back up conisidering all i can currently do is access HBOOT...What are the risks of rooting going wrong and bricking the phone?
the HBOOT details are:

Thanks guys...
Your phone isn't rooted so you can't install any other roms. There's various guides on how to root your phone, some easier than others depending on the stock. Personally I had to update to a newer rom that had an exploit in it that allowed me to install an earlier version that allowed rooting. From there you can then permanently root the phone.
The best thing would be to search for guides on rooting a desire hd on orange (I'm on 3 so may be slightly different), then you can always reinstall your stock rom if you want

Your phone isn't rooted (the LOCKED message on bootloader screen) which is why you can't flash the PD98 image or any other ROM/RUU for that matter that is not digitally signed by Orange.
If you have warranty I don't suggest rooting it as this might void the warranty, especially if your phone still doesn't work after rooting. Perhaps it would be easier for Orange to fix it?

The CID was actually to try to see if there was a RUU for your phone. Unfortunately it is not. So, now you have to create a goldcard. For it you will need another android working phone and an sdcard that works as a goldcard.

I have a question
I have created goldcard to the best of my knowledge via process mentioned beneath.
But still I have S-on on HBOOT of desire hd
Process:
Have 2 GB Sd card & 8 GB Sd card. Tried both.
1. Format SD card by placing it in card reader. (tried with both FAT & FAT32)
2. calculate CID i.e. 1b534d303030303010073d25b400a9b2 for 2GB card
3. reversed it i.e. b2a900b4253d071030303030304d531b
4. replaced first 2 digits i.e. b2 with 00. gives CID reversed 00a900b4253d071030303030304d531b
5. Copied it to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and generated goldcard.img file
6. Putting card into card reader and connecting it with computer via USB slot.
7. Open Hxd editor. Open Removable drive under Physical Disk with unchecked Open as Read only.
8. Open goldcard.img file from Open Disk image.
9. Copied all offsets of goldcard.img window and paste write it on Removable Drive Image by selecting offset 00000000 to 00000170,
10. Saved edited Removable drive image.
11. Removing and checking whether card is still readable.
12. Putting it back into mobile slot of SD Card.
13. Entering in HBoot and still getting ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
If I am missing something kindly help.

Goldcard won't make the phone S-OFF. Just will let you flash any RUU and avoid the CID signature failed. But you haven't flashed a RUU, so nothing changed.

So how do I know that Goldcard process is successful or not. Should I have to flash RUU to confirm whether it is successful or there is another way.

When you finished patching the sdcard, you should enter that drive with no errors at all...but that is not insurance of anything..just a good sign.

Re-unlock bootloader / RUU for a5_ul

Ok i messed with this poor device so badly that i can't tell you...i successfully flashed cm12.1 nighlty but while charging the device simply turns off (i opened a thread about this topic but no one replied) so when i wake up in the morning i had no alarm. i decided then to try some other custom roms but in order to do that i had to RUU my device. Here comes the problem, i found many RUUs for this model but only 1 seemed to work...The RUU process stops at the very end with a message saying the it halted due to large image update...so i tried instead to flash the RUU via fastboot but notihing changed, the zip sent to the device is too large.
i have 3 solutions but i need ur help to make em work...
1) unlock the bootloader and restore a backup ==> the problem is that i simply can't re-unlock it...i tried everything (new unlock token, without sd card, with sd car, without sim card, with sd card; it simply remains relocked)
2) find a suitable RUU for my device that is less then 1 gb ==> the problem is that i can't find it anywhere. so i ask you, is it possible to clean the system partition to free space for the RUU? How?
my device info are:

Help with HTC one m8 o2 UK

Hey i have a HTC one m8 on o2 in UK,
First of all i am a complete noob when it comes to phone repair/installing software on phones i'm not even sure how to get this 'fastboot var all' people seem to ask for, I've been browsing these forums for a few days and can't seem to work it out so hoping there's a patient person out there that could point me in the right direction.
It is stuck on the main load up screen and occasionally optimizing apps which it goes through this process and repeats.
Was using the phone then it popped up with a message, htc input has stopped working or something like that, can't really remember, said send error report so i pressed don't send, kept popping up so i restarted the phone and it started doing this, if i try and enter recovery mode it gives me a red triangle with an explanation mark.
From what i have been reading i may need to install an 'RUU' from an SD card onto the phone(i have no idea how to do this)

Had the phone since new so the software hasn't been tampered with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be aware that running an RUU will wipe your phone.
Download this RUU.zip
Rename it by deleting everything in the name of the .zip except for 0P6BIMG (and .zip of course)
Place that onto your ext SD (the card must be formatted to FAT32 ~ if it's 32GB or less, it probably already is) and boot into bootloader
Follow the on screen prompts (vol up to flash ~ power button to reboot when done ~ super easy)
And that's it.
After the flash is complete, delete the renamed .zip from you SD card. If you don't, your phone will try to update again every time you boot to bootloader.
Good luck!
Thanks for the fast reply, worked a treat, appreciated
