[Q] M8 won't go past splash screen

HI guys, so I can't get my M8 to go past the splash screen. I've tried countless ROMs (even stock 4.4.2 from Android Revolution), all of which say they install fine, but nothing. Even when I restore a TWRP back-up it fails to boot. I'm S-ON and was rooted. I've tried wiping System, data, dalvik, cache, factory reset. Nothing happening.
Any ideas? I'm stumped ...

Ok hold on. So I went to my phone this morning, and it's booted into Skydragon's 5.0.1 ROM, which I did try installing. 5.0.1 ... And I have no S-Off?? I didn't think this was possible?!

Although, I have no WiFi, and rebooting resulted in it getting stuck on the splash screen again ...

If I were you I'd go here http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/401/
and start updating your firmware start with 1.54.401.10.zip and work you way up to the last one 3.29.401.9.zip.
Don't Skip any flash all 7 of them
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After you get them all flashed I recommend TWRP 2.8.3.0 it's the newest and seems to be working Great for me.

Same issue as JustArchiee
I am having the exact same issue as the original post's user. My phone is stuck on the splash screen. I have tried a few different ROMS
1. Skydragon Sense ROM
2. insertcoin 6-0-6
3. Skydragon Asia WWE
I had a rooted lollipop rom, but that is having way too many issues. I have a backup of that ROM, but I dont want to get back to it. It is draining battery like crazy, has wifi issues

We need RUU, which i couldnt find, you dont need to worry about Firmware, we just have to find RUU for Vodafone UK, even if it's 5.0.2, or 4.4.4, don't care, cause we can use OTA to update if the phone is 100% stock.

this one any good no?
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934518148

It's 401 for European unlocked, we need vodafone uk161

if I unlock the bootloader, do I still need to have usb debugging enabled in the settings before I can install twrp and an nandriod backup?

i dont think so, u can check forums noob friendly guides

Where to get latest firmware.zip for htc one m8

I have an htc one m8 ATT phone I want to install the ViperOneM8 5.02 rom on which says I need to update the firmware to a marshmellow firmware I think.
Or the latest.
While I have found some documentation how to do this on the net, I am not sure where I obtain these files.
The firmware.zip I believe it is
Help on this would be appreciated
Right now I am using hboot 3.16 and twrp 2.7

I found this link
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32780
and grabbed the 4.16.1540.8.zip but want to make sure I am grabbing the correct and latest version. Because I don't want to brick my phone

Post your fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
You may need a different firmware if it's AT&T & S-On and also don't use that outdated 2.7 TWRP.

For some devices, TWRP 2.7 is recommended due to how older boot loaders may not take it well.
I like TWRP. When its workable, its array of tools is superior to CWM. But after I tried 2.8.x, I decided CWM or TWRP at or below 2.7.0.2 is safer and less crash prone.
When I attempted to boot to recovery it would boot loop. Please be mindful of boot signing. If you so slightly make your OEM software notice things a fuse will make your phone implode.

Read again what he is trying to do man ... he's going to update to Marshmallow firmware and that outdated TWRP 2.7 won't work for him (he can't even install his intended ViperOneM8 5.02 ROM with that outdated TWRP)
..... that's why I said don't use that outdated TWRP

Good point. For some odd reason CM pairs ROMs and Recoveries. If you check the Dev Auto update option would that be unnecessary.
It's been an itching question I actually had...
Sent from my HTC M8 GPE
? Mass Transit Honchkrow ?

I originally had twrp 2.8 on and tried to install the latest. But it was freezing because I think I need a newer version of hboot. which I have 3.16 on it.
I then downgraded to 2.7 to get it working. I installed ViperOnem8 Rom not reading the website successfully. but have issues with wifi, and 2 minute boot times.
"The 5.0.x ROM is based on HTC’s latest M8 Sense 7 Android 6.0.x base and requires you to update your firmware to at least the 6.0.x (Marshmallow) version! If you don’t you will run into some issues such as Wi-Fi not working or No Boot, etc.
We cannot install the firmware for you during ROM installation so you will need to take the steps to update the firmware on your own."
So I need to update my firmware. I have an ATT S-ON phone. But I have no clue where to get the firmware from, and make sure it is the right one and recent.
I need to update my firmware in order for this rom and a newer version of twrp to work correctly

ok, so
I upgraded to 3.11.1700.5 firmware I found. and that was successful.
Then I upgraded my twrp to twrp-3.0.2-0-m8 and that was successful
Now I am trying to install either Revolution Rom, or ViperOnem8 and both have the same problem. After install they keep booting into twrp and won't load.
I tried Cynamod and that installed and booted fine.
I believe both Revolution and Viper use the Aroma installer. Anyone know what is going on with these and a fix to stop it from booting into twrp?

Need advice

Wrong firmware. You installed an old version of GPE firmware.
You can't install Sense ROM like Revolution and Viper on GPE firmware.
I asked you to post fastboot getvar all to help you but it seems that you made it harder now because you installed a wrong firmware. If it is S-Off, then it is easy to fix.

First - remove all serial & imei no. from your above post.
As I said, it is not easy to fix this with S-On device. What you can try is to install the latest AT&T 6.20.502.5 firmware first then run 6.20.502.5 RUU
Read this for the firmware and how-to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66886759&postcount=23
You can get the RUU here : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/

so your saying, install the ruu, update the firmware, then re install viper?
Can't I just update the firmware like I did before? It was S-On before I updated the firmware

The ruu won't install. it says needs more then 30% battery, yet it is fully charged

No .. I don't say that ... read again ...
Flash firmware.zip first then RUU ...
or install ROM first, don't reboot the system, but reboot to bootloader, relock bootloader then flash firmware.zip
As you already flashed a wrong firmware, as I said this may work and may not work but the only way that you can try to fix the wrong firmware installed.

Because you have wrong firmware installed.

but with what firmware.zip? I never got the right firmware.zip to begin with so I don't have any firmware files to update with

Read this for the firmware and how-to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66886759&postcount=23
You can get the RUU here : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/

ok .. now that I understand what you are saying. because you had the RUU .exe and also were explaining how to update the firmware at the same time while the firmware was burried a couple of levels of posts, I didn't understand what you were saying.
so it looks like the firmware updated successfully

I unlocked the firmware through the htc website with the Unlock_code.bin
because fastbook oem unlock didn't work.
had to reinstall twrp and that worked after reinstall. although lots of mounting file system errors. with /Data I don't know if that's normal.
seems to be fixed after formatting
Now I will try installing a rom

Now you got it.
And yes, after changing from GPE to Sense GSM (AT&T) firmware, you need to reinstall TWRP (the latest 3.0.2-0) and you MUST format data partition, in TWRP - select WIPE, Format Data - yes ... because GPE & Sense data partition is of different size.

Please where can i get compatible firmware for my htc one m8s with S.O 1.12.1405.6 . I have been on this over 3 weeks now but all no avail.

[HELP] Bricked my HTC One M8 - no OS and old HBOOT version

Hello everyone, sorry for the post but I'm really desperate at the moment, so here it goes:
I wiped my phone up by mistake while doing a hard reset and now it's OS is gone. When I try to flash RUUs it says the HBOOT version is wrong, maybe too old. I've read a lot here in the forum but wasn't able to do it yet. I'll copy the getvar from my device down here so maybe u guys can help me out.

At what stage are you getting this message? When trying to flash the stock recovery?
If so post the results of fastboot getvar all minus your serial# and IMEI (and MEID if you have one ~ only CDMA devices do)
I think you may be trying to flash the wrong recovery for your device.

yes, even when I try to flash the new TWRP file this message appears
C:\Users\DELL\Desktop\RUU>fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img
target reported max download size of 1826283520 bytes

OKAY [ 1.538s]
writing 'recovery'...

I guess it's because my phone is relocked? Don't know I'm really confused

Yes, the signature verify fail error is due to relocked bootloader.
You can only install TWRP with an unlocked bootloader. TWRP is an unsigned file. By definition, you can't flash an unsigned recovery with a locked (and also relocked) bootloader. This is the very meaning and purpose of a locked bootloader.

I see... So I must unlock the bootloader again, flash and Install twrp 2.8.7.0, restore 4.24.709.3 stock backup, install 4.24.709.3 stock recovery and then relock the bootloader?
And for unlocking it I have to follow the same way for the first time? HTCdev, etc...?

what about flashing the marshmallow RUU.zip ??
it's signed you need a relocked bootloader to flash it on s-on device
here is the RUU
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911967316
and here is how to flash ( but use the above RUU )

That is correct. Then OTA update to Marshmallow.
Alternately, with bootloader still relocked, fastboot flash the firmware fw_6.12.709.4 using the file and instructions from here (Same thread as before, but Post #5): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5.
Then unlock the bootloader, install TWRP 2.8.7 and restore stock backup 6.12.709.4, which will put you right on Marshmallow with no need to OTA.

You may be able to fastboot flash the unlock token you used before (but doesn't always work). Otherwise, yes, you can go through the entire HTCDev.com process and get a new token.

Okay, thank you so much! I'm at work now and don't have my phone with me, so when I arrive home I'll try this way.

Flash what? "Flash" just means to install some software. Could be custom ROM, stock ROM, RUU, SuperSU, or any number of other things.
Since you describe the phone as stuck on HTC logo screen, I assume you want to flash stock ROM/RUU, or a custom ROM? But you need to be specific as what you want.
Did you unlock the bootloader? Did you install a custom recovery (TWRP) and do you have access to that now (does it boot to TWRP if you select recovery from bootloader menu).

Not sure what you mean by "again". Did you specifically have s-off in the past? The word "again" implies this. But I don't recall if dual SIM M8 ever had s-off or not. In any case, s-off needs a working OS for the sunshine app to work. And a lot of folks that think they need s-off, really do NOT. So again, we need to know what you are trying to do (with s-off in this case).
Also, you should delete serial number, IMEI and IMEI2 from your post. These are personal info, that should never be posted online, and not needed by us to help you.
