So yesterday i got a new phone (HTC One M8s) and the first thing i do is try to root it, so i unlocked the bootloader and then tried to flash a recovery, but when i went into the recovery the phone just turned off and i have tried flashing different versions of cwm and twrp, even stock recovery doesn't work so i don't know what i should do
P..S. I'm a newbie at rooting
P.S.S I'm s-on and running the latest sense 6 OTA update

Hello,
I am currently running rooted stock rom with HTC Dev unlocked bootloader with clockwork recovery. When I tried to download and install OTA it of course fails. I installed stock recovery, same thing installation always stucks at 1/3. I tried relocking bootloader, i tried un root. And I even tried to install Maximus rom (after unlocking bootloader and installing clockwork again) and I cant. Is there something that I messed up?
Is it possible I am using wrong stock recovery image?
Go with the ruu. And why would you think it's not standard problem?

I installed RUU (the one that doesn't contain latest update) and same thing happened, isntallation just freezes.
I was under impression that this problem usually happens when there is no stock recovery or when USB cable remains plugged in, which is not my case.

well for me it stopped also till I flashed the correct ruu. Without charge or bad recovery or unlocked.
Now I am bit confused. The ruu works and the ota after fails or the ruu fails the same way as the ota?

if you have flashed any system mods or deleted any system apps the ota will fail

i just rooted after installing stock ruu, then i reverted to stock recovery and locked bootloader
First use htc One x toolkit wich is found here somwwhere. Downliad the latest 2.17 RUU.exe. with toolkit lock your bootloader.(of you are using a custom rom it reboots back into bootloader) use the fastboot option and then run the latest 2.17 RUU. Lower versions don't work
Hope you will succeed

Hi..
I have been flashing roms for a few years now on a previous HTC Desire and now on my HTC One X.
All was well until today.
I decided to go for a JellyBean custom rom and flashed the .boot img in the wrong order. Due to my hboot version (1.28) I was ment to flash the boot.img first (but it never said this in the installation instructions, anyway...)
Basically, I got stuck in a boot loop and not able to get into recovery at all. I can only get into hboot / fastboot.
I have tried installing my stock RUU and relocking bootloader to get completely back to stock but keep getting an error due to the 1.28 hboot not being compatible with it.
I have working roms on my phone I can flash but I just cant get into CWM whatsoever, when I click on Recovery it just reboots itself. Can't install stock RUU.
What are my other options? Can I flash a rom some other way? I'm basically stuck in hboot/fastboot...
tldr;
stuck in hboot, can't get into recovery, stock RUU won't flash due to hboot version.
My phone was fully charged when I started 20 minutes ago.
Please help.
Thank you...:good:
EDDDDIITTTT::
Wow. Just RE-unlocked my bootloader and it rebooted itself straight into the custom rom I was trying to install. Strange!? All is well now.
Anyway, thanks for listening.
Hey all,
I have an AT&T One X, CID HTC_621, Main version 2.20.502.7, hboot 1.14.0002, S-On I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone. I installed TWRP recovery, and made a nandroid backup of the stock rom. I then tried to flash Android Revolution. This did not flash, it hung at 30% on the installer. I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of, read every post I can find, and spent over 20 hours trying to recover this phone. I can't flash an OTA, the stock recovery, or get an RUU.exe to work. I can boot into TWRP recovery, flash Clockworkmod recovery if I want, boot to bootloader, I just can't get any ROM to install, either via fastboot or recovery. I get various errors. Is there an ruu I can flash to restore everything to factory? Please help !!
Thanks.
Wrong forum, go to the HTC one XL forum. Don't flash anything from here, you cause a severe brick !
Thanks. I should pay better attention.

We all make mistakes
I have a Htc One M8 ; s-off, hboot 3.16, running 4.4.2. CID is Roger001, unlocked boot
Problem I have is I'm trying to restore the phone to stock because I want to do OTA updates. I followed the guide to return Canadian HTC1m8 to stock - downloaded the nandroid backup, restored it, flashed a stock image through fastboot;
However, now if I try a OTA it just reboots my phone and normally stalls out on the HTC screen. Nothing gets updated . If i try a factory reset, same thing, and it won't boot into bootloader until I wait a while then restart it. My data won't work anymore and TWRP recovery has disappeared. I think my issue is i flashed the wrong recovery .img, I'm a fairly noob. Checked all the related links and can't figure it out.
Any help would be amazing.
Use an ruu For your phone to update your hboot and make your you flash to recovery partition for twrp

I would but
I can't find an ruu that would work, there doesn't seem to be one for rogers...I dunno if any US carriers would work?

I got an update to work, I think I had the wrong stock installed so it wouldn't work properly. Only thing now is my data isn't working, any assistance with that that could be??
Instead of trouble shooting, I would just flash this TWRP backup tested to work on Rogers M8:

See end of 1st post in above link.
It is already in lollipop. No OTA update needed.
Use latest TWRP recovery, see 2nd post in above link.
Hello, i have red so many forums of how to update a rooted htc one m8, but there are so many opinions i'm left very confused. Some say you only need to flash stock recovery (never clarified which version of the recovery, the one in the update you are going to install or the one your device is currently at, mine is at 3.29.161.9), other say you need to Install Stock Nandroid Backup, flash the stock recovery and relock the bootloader. When i rooted my phone i unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and from TWRP I installed SuperSU. So what is the actual procedure for updating a rooted HTC One M8?
1. You can install current firmware stock recovery or the version that you're going to update.
Doesn't matter, both work.
2. You need a clean stock non-rooted system which normally you can get from stock non-rooted nandroid backup. Restore the backup, install stock recovery then do OTA update... no need to relock bootloader.
