Anyone able to help? :fingers-crossed:

Check my thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
and try 4.20.206.1
You post this in wrong section ... anyway give that a try. If you still have problem .. post in that thread and I may help you further.
You need to re unlock the bootloader to fix it.

THANKYOU!
That fixed it, wish I asked here last week

Rogers HTC One X Recovery

Hi everyone,
Long story short I bricked my phone. After doing more research after the event, I learned that it probably wasn't a good idea yet since there is no stock recovery image posted as of yet. I looked through the posts on this forum to find some information, however so far it has been insufficient.
My question is, is there any update on a Rogers 1.73.631.1 stock recovery.img or does anyone have any information that can help me? My phone used to be stuck on the HTC splash screen however now my phone will only load to bootloader.
Thanks
Lock the bootloader and flash the RUU
to go short start over
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, that list does not have my stock RUU listed as all of those are version 1.26.xxx and my Rogers version is 1.73.xxx. I've tried the disaster recovery thread and I believe because my versions dont match with any RUU listed I can't even load a stock image. Every image I try to load I get a "failed" message, including installing the system.img file from inside of those .exe files.
I desperately need any information anyone has that could help me. I apologize for not posting this in the same thread as the disaster recovery, however I need a minimum of 10 posts to post in that section. Sorry
Am I screwed for a few weeks while I wait and hope someone uploads the proper RUU? I did not get a chance to make a backup as I only got 90% of the way through the rooting process before it crashed and wont load on me. I am using a mac, however I do have access to (and have tried many solutions on) a PC if necessary.
Thanks,
MaidenFan
Hi I am stuck at the same screen
I got the bootloader unlocked and super user installed
I wanted to install Leedroid ROM so downloaded the files and used fasboot to install the version of boot.img that comes with it. Problem is that I forgot to transfer over the rom zip file to the device before doing it so now I'm stuck on this screen. I know, I just got distracted. My fault I know.
(I have successfully rooted my old desire and a wildfire in the past without bother)
I had a nandriod backup done from before flashing boot.img and tried to restore.. It says restore was successful but it it still stuck on this screen. Some help would be mighty appreciated.
EDIT:
The bootloader is now locked again but I think I still have CWM recovery installed however I can't access it anymore. I've tried unlocking the bootloader again but now it says the battery is too low. I keep trying to turn the phone off in fastboot to let it charge but it just starts up again? Any Ideas? Thanks
I've managed to sort out my phone.
For anyone else with the same problem have a look at the following thread to see what I did:

I'm trying to recover from flashing a Kernel which ultimately sent me in a bootloop.
Hey man, did you end up finding a solution for your phone? I'm in exactly the same situation right now. I'm about to cry.

[Q] Bricked after OTA update failed

Hi I've been searching for days and have always been able to find answers but this one has got me.
My gf has a HTC Desire HD, pretty sure it's Vodafone since she works there. Tried to do a normal update a while ago and it never started since, just sits on the HTC logo. I can boot into fastboot hboot recovery and all that but I'm stuck as to what to do from here.
I have found a couple of WWE RUU's but the error out with a CID error, I've also found a Vodafone backup someone took from clockwork but this phone only has stock recovery and I don't know how to flash clockwork without being able to boot the phone.
Hoping someone might have an easy answer, please let me know if I need to provide more details.
Thanks.
If its rooted just place a rom on the sd and flash it with full wipe. You are not suppose to accept OTA updates if the phone is rooted if Im not mistaken. If not rooted then go to HTC websight and get the official RUU and install, instructions should be on websight.

Get me the CID and Iwill provide u with a ruu that works...VODAFONE from where? not all ruu's are available, but at least we can find one that makes your phone back to work...:good:
Unfortuanately it isn't rooted, I probably would've had more luck by now if it was.
I can't see the CID on the bootloader is there a command on fastboot or something to find this? I've been searching but can't find anything.
Sorry I thought of that afterwards, it's Vodafone Australia.
Thanks for the replies guys!
I just tried that European RUU thought I didn't have anything to loose but it came back with ERROR 132 Signature Error.
The Australian HTC site doesn't have a RUU to download that I can see.

Also the other option is to go to the Ace Hack Kit forum IRC Chat room and speak to those guys there. They are Abolutely GREAT with any issues and they might be able to solve your issue. I would try them first. IRC chat towards the bottom of first main post.

yep, do the following: boot in hboot and choose fastboot. Then plug the phone (check that you see fastboot usb in red)
Open cmd as admin or a terminal as root and then, type fastboot getvar all. Get the INFOcidnum and paste it here. With that I will try to find a ruu that works. But stop trying flashing other things...you might mess the device.
Hi
Thanks again for the help. The cidnum: VODAP021
Hope this helps, I haven't checked out those other links yet though.

Ok, I will look for a RUU (to see if I can get one that works, and will send it over a PM)...:laugh:
No post it here in case someone else has the same problem so he too can get the file.

Solution!!
Ok firstly sorry it's taken me ages to post this but I finally came up with a solution to this problem using a few different guides and instructions on these forums.
So the problem was I had a Vodafone AU branded HTC Desire HD that had no root and a locked bootloader that was stuck in a bootloop after a failed official update. The main problem is that there is NO stock recovery ROM ANYWHERE for a Vodafone AU HTC Desire HD, trust me I looked and I am not new to looking for stuff like this. glevitan provided me with a WW ROM that I managed to get working with a bit of work, there are also many WW ROM's around that you should also be able to use. I'll try to explain as best I can as to how I got it to work (going from memory) so if anyone else has a similar problem they may be able to use this information.
1. Firstly find a suitable WW ROM to flash, it needs to be a PD98IMG.zip image to copy to an SD card. There is a Vodafone AU dump on this forum but that will not work if you are completely stock standard. I think you can get this zip from the RUU or maybe ask glevitan if he wouldn't mind helping in providing this again. I didn't want to link to his file but there are others around.
2. Create a goldcard. If you turn your SD card into a goldcard it will allow any ROM to be flashed, normally it would only accept the Vodafone AU one but by doing this it will accept the WW one. To do this I used a second phone to create the card.
I used the Ultimate multi tool which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180639
You may have to do a bit of reading on getting it to work, from memory you have to put in a number to a website to generate a file, I think I ended up using a different website, there's a few options in getting this done, google is your friend for this
3. Once the goldcard is created copy the PD98IMG.zip to the root directory and put it back into the phone.
4. Turn on the phone and boot to hboot by holding vol up (I think) on power on. The phone should automatically check for a suitable PD98IMG.zip file and as long as the goldcard process worked and you have a suitable ROM on the root directory it should flash it fine.
This is basically what I did and it successfully booted after a lot of looking around. I hope this helps people in the future with similar problems. If you need to ask any questions about this process as I haven't provided every single detail please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you out.
Thanks again to glevitan for helping and providing a suitable ROM to flash.

[Q] Please Help, Boot loop on HTC One M8 (verizon) after OTA Update

Hello,
Let me start by apologizing for being a noob. An OTA last night is causing my phone to boot loop. I was able to install the latest TWRP and am trying to flash a stock firmware and RUU. I keep getting error messages when doing so. Can someone please give me a very detailed step by step instruction to get my phone working again? It looked like the firmware took from the OTA, but it seems as if it is corrupted. Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Thank you,
Kirko

If you tell the firmware version which you flashed, it is easy to tell the way to stock. s-off is not a problem, if you can spend 25$. if your expectation is only go to a updated stock, it is not necessary to s-off. If your bootloader is not unlocked, twrp can't be installed. If your firmware is up to date, it is okay to make bootloader unlocked.

What you are asking for sounds kinda sketchy. If someone were to backup and share their mmcblk0 partition with you, you would have everything written to their internal storage in there.
I might be wrong with this, but I don't think I am.

Ikr but I'm not after the personal files. My M8 died and recognized as usb qdloader 9008. No fastboot, no recovery, black screen no signs of life. I need the dumped mmcblk and try to kickstart hboot via SD or linux so I can flash its RUU. And if it'll be a success I will post the procedure how i revived it that can serve as a reference for others who may encounter same problem.
if its with privacy issue then i dont mind a dump of a fresh factory reset phone.

HTC One M8s soft bricked, any help to fix it please?

Hi there,
First off I would like to say that this site is literally the best for getting information on solving htc problems and I said I'd give it a shot at asking for a little bit of help. To be honest this is my first forum post on any site and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could shine the light on this for me.
My girlfriend has a HTC One (M8s) and yesterday the phone began to freeze, crash and wasn't able to make outbound calls or texts although it was able to receive them? My girlfriend later had an interview and you know turned the phone off but after the interview she tried to turn the phone back on but the phone seemed to be stuck booting. I did tremendous research on this last night and it seems to me that the phone is soft bricked. I can access the phone's data using adb&fastboot to get the cid number and all that information. The phone is also not rooted.
The problem I seem to be having is that I can't find a stock ROM for this phone. I'm brand new to this as I never done anything related to phone firmware... I have read threads on how to flash ROM's and all. I can flash a zipped ROM but the phone gets a signature verification error...
Can anyone please help me on this one as we really need to get this phone back up and running.
