For the past few weeks I had been running ViperOne rom. I liked it very much and it was for the most part stable, but I decided to try out UnsenseOne-KitKat. I tried installing the zip file using TWRP, just as I had done with ViperOne but when I tried rebooting, my phone only went to the bootloader and wouldn't even try booting to system.
I had a problem similar to this before when I was trying to unlock and root my One, so I thought I was fix it the same way I did then. I downloaded the vzw m7 RUU from here and installed it using fastboot. The RUU installs just fine and everything in the command prompt says that it was successful. But when I try to boot my phone now, it hangs on the white htc splash screen.
It also hangs on the white htc splash screen when I try to enter recovery. I'm at a loss, and I am now thinking I may have gained a new paperweight today. Has this ever happened to anyone? Or does anyone know how to fix this?
If it helps, this is what I see on my bootloader:
relocked
m7_wlv pvt ship s-off rh
cid-vzw__001
hboot-1.44.0000
radio-1.12.41.1112_2
opendsp-v33.120.274.0913
emmc-boot
UPDATE: Okay, so I tried installing instead the 2.10.605.1 RUU (I had been using the 1.10 version before) and now instead of hanging at the white htc splash screen, it shows the slpash screen for a few seconds and then goes back to the bootloader saying "Active cmdline overflow! (1073 Bytes)" This is new... any ideas?
UPDATE2: I googled the Active cmdline overflow problem and saw that for some it worked to downgrade hboot to 1.44. I got the hboot zip from here. And now no more Active cmdline problem! YAY! Only now my phone is once again hanging on the white htc slpash screen.
UPDATE3: Haven't done anything else since the last update, but I did just notice that when I try to boot into recovery, I get a black screen with a picture of an phone with a red triangle on it. I get a similar screen when I try to boot into "Factory Reset" but instead of a red triangle there are two green arrows making a circle. Also when my phone is plugged in my phone now once again shows the charging animation (phone turned off). This was not the case before.

That sceeen is the stock recovery. Flash this in ruu mode. http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/Twrp_2.6.3.4_RUU_Mode.zip. That should get you twrp recovery. From there do a factory reset and then flash a rom, and see if it boots. If it does use firewater to unlock the bootloader again.

So I did what you suggested, and the .zip file flashed just fine, no errors, but I'm still stuck at the "Entering Recovery . . ." screen.

Nevermind, I downgraded to hboot 1.44 and I was able to enter recovery. Thanks!
Greetings All,
So I did a very stupid move and kinda soft bricked my M8. I received my Lollipop update, restored my stock recovery, applied the update, rebooted phone, applied TWRP and flashed SuperSU. Once I booted back into phone I saw that I still had Xposed installed and bundled and the idiot that I am, ran the uninstaller. Now the phone boots up and after showing the white boot logo sits at a black screen.I can get into recovery mode so I am pretty sure that if I download a Lollipop custom ROM I can get booting again? Factory reset did not help and I did not do a nandroid either :/. I am still S-ON so I can't flash the RUU file :/.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Problem resolved. Please ignore this thread .
Htc One M8... was running marshmallow sense rom with elementalx kernel.
- S-off
- running Bell marshmallow firmware
- Twrp recovery latest one.
Randomly the phone rebooted while I was using it last night and after that got stuck in a bootloop.
Now it seems to boot up but it goes to a screen where it says "please enter password to decrypt phone" ... I don't have a password so then it tells me to factory wipe the phone.
I can get into Hboot fine... the issue I am having is for some reason along with the rom, the recovery has crashed too... I have tried reflashing a new twrp or even the stock recovery but the recovery just will not boot. Regardless of me flashing the stock recovery... when I try to boot into it, it shows that I am booting into twrp (which makes me assume that the recovery isnt really being flashed)
I tried the RUU method but when I do rebootRUU from fastboot it just boots my phone and its stuck back in the bootloop and doesnt go to Black HTC screen :S.
Kind of stuck... I dont have a windows device otherwise I would try the exe method and lost on how to recover the device. Feels like maybe the flash memory crashed... but its so random
If anyone can help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
so just tried to run a gpe ruu as well... it did the first step of flashing the bootloader and just rebooted to the normal htc bootloader :S
seems like whatever I do nothing is being flashed to any partition... i found the adb command that fixes encryption for aosp roms... but I cannot run adb because I cant boot into recovery :S
Hello, my phone htc m8 is stuck on decryption unsuccessful and reboots. I have searched the forums and tried everything so far. So first of all the phone is stock with no mods. I have tried to go in the fastboot menu and tried to do a factory reset, nothing happens and it cycles to the decrypt phone. I have also tried to use the recovery and again it boots up to the same menu. I have downloaded the RUU and have tried to restore that way using the fastboot, as soon as it reboots and says waiting for bootloader it resets to the same decrypt screen and the status on the RUU says it cannot connect to phone. So if anyone has any advice that could help that would be great thanks!
