stupid mistake but can't seem to fix - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I have been trying to root and load a custom ROM on my friends Chinese htc one m8.
I unlocked the boot loader fine. Then flashed twrp. Here I missed the actual root of the phone which is silly. I then flashed a custom ROM and now stuck in fast boot mode when I reboot.
I know I missed the actual root section. I tried to plug the phone back in computer and use command window to root. But it says device offline now.
Is there anything I can do? Its not rooted. I just think I've wiped the stock HTC software and I didn't make a back up. Please help

[Q] Cannot boot into Recovery!!

So you probably see these types of threads all the time, but this one is different--
So the phone is a T-Mobile G2, Yes, It is Rooted, and S-OFF.
Long story short, I rooted the phone fine, but I cannot reboot into recovery.
I have the newest CWM flashed. It is version 3.0.0.5. When I try to boot the phone into recovery, it simply gets stuck on the HTC Logo screen. But, it is not bricked, but if I remove the battery, and put it back in, the phone boots and its fine. One more time. The phone is S-OFF and rooted.
The only thing I can do is flash CM 2.5.1.3...... 2.5.1.4+ do not work.
I just want to know WHY its doing this. Its my friends G2 and I have rooted mine the SAME exact way, and its fine. I have tried factory resetting it, but it doesn't work.
PLEASE TELL MY WHY.
EDIT*
I'm trying to do this process in ROM Manager- I also have tried flashing it more than once.

If you can boot up normally, load rom manager (download from market), and go to install alternate recovery, and install any alternate recovery. Then when that is complete, go back and install the Clockwork recovery version you want on top of the alternate.
What happens is SOMETIMES recovery will get messed up while installing, and you'll get exactly that, loop at the HTC screen.
If you cannot reflash an old, then the proper recovery through Rom Manager, you can do it via fastboot with your computer and USB, there are a few guides on the developer forum on how to do that. If you need i can try to dig up the fastboot recovery method guide later... but really, if you can boot up, Rom Manager is your best/easiest bet.
Yeah, I'm trying to do it using ROM Manager. and It still doesnt work. Ive rooted- unrooted and did everything, idk what I'm doing wrong. I tried flashing the new recovery like 4 times, it doesn't work for me. Thanks for the reply!

[Q] HTC ONE V CDMA-Phone reboot/s

Hello,
wanted to ask for help, i have HTC ONE V CDMA version Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted. S-ON
I tried installing PrimoC kernel on stock sense. I install kernel for ICS then i reboot into bootloader flash the boot.img. Phone reboots and keeps rebooting.
I install XPERIA Rom, install stock kernel through bootloader /fastboot phone wont boot up, just keeps restarting.
I install CM10 and install kernel phone boots up and shuts down. Boots up shuts down.
PACMAN ROM same issue.
The point is what am I doing wrong? I went through every phone out there on the market never had any issues. This phone is pain in my ass.
The only way for me to boot up the phone out of boot loops is flashing BOOT.img from my back i made of the stock sense. Even then my WIFI will not work.
I am looking for pointers, instructions, whatever helps i love flashing I love these ROMS on here, but i just cant seem to get the to work.
Appreciate your time and your help.
Sounds like the last OTA update, your phone might have already had it before you bought it.

V410 7.0 LTE bricked

Ok guys I am pretty sure I fubar'd my tablet.
I am stuck in a recovery loop. When I start the tablet it just goes back into recovery. Which if I still had TWRP I think I could still do something, but I flashed cyanogen recovery trying to flash cm13 since I cold not get anything else to work. I cannot boot into download/firmware update screen. The screen just flickers a little and goes dark.
A little background:
Started when tablet forced install of 5.0 update and I was in a recovery loop. I flashed 410 test build, rooted, flashed twrp, installed stock rooted ROM. Everything was fine. Then tablet did it again, this time I just flashed rooted ROM and factory reset. Even took the steps to fix the white lines and storage issues. Was working fine. Got home a few days ago and I was in a recovery loop again. But now I don't have the bootloader screen/download mode/firmware update screen (whatever you want to call it) so last night i tried to download cm13, Gapps and cyanogen recovery with no avail.
I can access adb on my PC while in recovery, but when I try to access ADB shell I get unauthorized something or other. Because I cannot authorize USB debugging, because ROM won't boot. I tried to flash stock rooted ROM from cyanogen recovery and it says not signed or something like that.
Does anyone have any ideas? I really think I have screwed the pooch here.

if you have a stock recovery image flashing it is easy, i had a LOT of troubles with my v410 and still am working with it. i have mine rooted, just with TWRP though, i cant use xposed framework, which negates why i rooted this in the first place. anyway, through much grit and determination flash your stock image after wiping what needs to be wiped and doing all other necessary things. Then, you must download kingo root, supersu, superuser. flashify would help with the flashing i hear, but it has troubles with the v410. kingo root was an apk i managed to find buried under a million viruses on the 34th page of google..or something. rooted mine in one click, from stock to reboot to twrp root.. many glitches.
I need help myself, deleted my "Phone" system app, causing me to lose connectivity with my data plan. cant seem to restore it, and flashify nor twrp has been able to flash a custom recovery, or a backup, im at a loss.
Help? We seek the same thing.
Ok but how do I flash the stock recovery image. I can't use fastboot. ADB says I am unauthorized.

I am at a complete loss. I am by no means a developer, but I do know my way around. I really think I have FUBAR'd this one.
Kind of stinks, I give up. Anyone want a bricked v410?

Phone won't boot

Guys I think i did something a little stupid haha
I received my new HTC M9 today. I rooted the device, installed TWRP just fine, and then I installed a custom ROM (all as I did with my M8).
My problem is that after installing the custom ROM (which installed successfuly) now the phone gets stuck in the HTC logo.
Now adb don't recognize the phone even when I manually enter download mode. I don't know what to do
Can someone give any ideas?
I solved it. Please close the thread

soft bricked?

Hi,
I don't really know much of rooting and stuff and that is why I have the following problem.
My htc one m8 was rooted for a couple of months but as of yesterday something strange happend.
I really don't know what I did but for the moment my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
By holding power + up + down i can get in the Hboot mode but I have no clue what I can do next.
TWRP is installed and when I try to install a zip in TWRP I have the error of 5DM file missing.
My pc isn't recognizing my phone so I'm really stuck.
Can someone please explain me what I can do? I'm a real noob.
Some extra information, my phone is unlocked, s-on,.. more I don't know.
I would really appreciate it!!!
If you have stock rom and want to have stock too, then you need to flash it by ruu or find an twrp backup for your version.
If you have/want a custom rom then you can easily flash it by twrp, I suggest you updating twrp, then you won't have any issues.
