Hey guys,
First off, any help here would be more than appreciated as I am at my wits' end.
So, i shall try and inform you guys as much as I can and hope it suffices. My M8 seems to be stuck in a bootloop. I can get to the bootloader (hboot & fastboot) and that's about it. I tried to flash a new recovery and kernel through fastboot but that doesn't seem to help either. My phone has been unlocked a long time ago but never had any problems until this suddenly happened.
Here is my oem info:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000

PS- It is also interesting to note that when my phone is stuck on the white HTC screen, i can hear message notifications and such implying that the phone is still running ( I even mirrored my phone to the pc using USB and I can see my home screen on my laptop but just the HTC screen on the phone.
Thanks a ton in advance

Were you trying to flash anything (such as a custom ROM) to make this happen? If not, why would changing the recovery make a difference? If yes, what did you flash?
Phone was on stock or custom ROM when this started to happen?
Do you have a nandroid backup you can restore?
Also, newer versions of TWRP won't work with your (ancient) hboot, so depending on what TWRP build you flashed, you can just be adding to the problem.
No, I wasn't trying to flash anything which is what baffles me more. My phone just froze all of a sudden and I had to use Power+Volume Up to reboot and it hasn't been starting up ever since.
I'm current;y running a custom ROM (skydragon if I remember well).
The last significant change I remember making was giving the "Clean Master" app accessibility permissions through the settings. Idk why it didn't just ask me to do it through SuperUser there.
As I asked before:
Do you have a nandroid backup you can restore?
If so, try to restore that backup.
Otherwise, try to re-flash the custom ROM.
What version TWRP are you currently on?

Hi everyone! My problem is that if I flash any rom (I've tried ARHD, Viper), the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. I've left it in that state for almost an hour and it hasn't progressed further. Restoring my nandroid backups also yields the same result. My fastboot getvar all:

The phone is currently unlocked, s-off. I tried flashing with both, philz and twrp, none work.

I have tried clearing the cache partition multiple times, but it doesn't help.

@EddyOS, @nkk71 please see this. I think there's something wrong with my /data partition..
Did you recently do the GPE conversion?
May be you should try to flash the stock rom and stock recovery then flash the ruu.

This, the partitions get altered so you can't just simply flash back
According to the OP's getvar output they've NOT done the GPe conversion as the HBOOT version included in the RUU is 3.18.0.0000 and the OP is still on 3.16.0.0000
OP, I'd follow my guide linked in my signature and you should be good to go

I hadn't touched the firmware, so there shouldn't be any problem related to that. Anyways, a rom and recovery do Not affect an RUU flash.

I flashed the international fw zip, and ARHD, (I had checked the hash of the file) and it still didn't work. Also, when I would reboot, some random artefacts would appear during the boot animation (different each time, sometimes wouldn't appear), such as there would be a random flash of purple across the screen or the boot animation would leave a trail behind it (like the effect you get web you would drag a stuck window in win98) etc. sometimes TWRP would act extremely sluggish while sometimes it would be fast and snappy. Quite a few times, while flashing any rom, the screen would go black and reboot to TWRP at random (even after disabling the display timeout). I tried formatting all the partitions on the internal storage. Still gave me problems. I tried to repair file system of each partition in TWRP. The data partition could never get repaired. All of these random problems lead me to believe that this was 99% the fault of the phone/hardware. Luckily I was within the 14 day replacement period and so I went out today after flashing the faux locked/s-on bootloader (I know I should not mess with firmware unless required, and I hadn't till now but I didn't care anymore since I was getting it replaced anyway. I also had 2 dead pixels and a scratch on my camera glass. Now I just have to sit back and wait for a new phone
We've seen this issue on Viper a few times and it usually happened after someone installed e.g. a VZW recovery to the GSM phone or vice versa.
A wrong recovery would flash stuff into the wrong partitions.
A RUU for your device, really just any, should fix it. You should run a RUU and then factory reset right afterwards from bootloader BEFORE flashing another custom recovery.
There is a cingular (AT&T) RUU out right now from HTC here: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2.exe which you could try - it is a GSM RUU. We don't really have WWE 401 RUU yet.
Just make sure you don't grab a SPRINT or Verizon RUU if you find any!!!!!!

Too late for trying a fix , I just want to know what caused it, and I'm 1000% sure I had the right recovery, because as I said, I flashed many other roms in the past with the same recovery, and the problem came after I tried ARHD. And this is the gsm phone.
Yeah well no idea then. Just know I've seen this happen from wrong recoveries. Also not the time to dig into it any further if you've gotten that resolved already I'll leave it as is. Thanks for asking me though. Just keep in mind I've been out of XDA since months and am only slowly reading my way back in so I'm sure there are way more knowledgeable guys around regarding firmware, softbricks and the like.

In such a big mess! I have the same problem as the OP - same to the last dot. I am on India version of device, and was just trying to update firmware to 4.4.3 and in that quest i flashed firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54899772&postcount=1392.
Post that camera and wi-fi stopped working - so I thought may be I screwed up with boot.img and reflashing Viper/ADHD would solve it. While on my way to install Viper I cleaned/wiped data in recovery and hit reboot accidentally which got the phone to stuck in bootloop. I pushed in back in recovery however, since then I have not been able to install either Viper or ADHD. I even tried doing a nandroid back-up from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54940131&postcount=1419, however nothing brings me past the splash screen.
Off-late (few hours) I am not been able to do a back-up (nandroid) as my recovery throws cant mount sdcard or sdcard1 both. Please help!

Yes, I did. Using HTCDev.
At the moment, I would be just happy with someway of going back to the clean slate. Is there a way I could go back to original/stock using ADB/Fastboot as recovery also doesnt seem to work.
Thanks

Bump!

Hello all,
So here's why I'm posting:
I'm having an issue with my T-Mobile HTC One M8 phone. The phone was working great until I tried to install a new third-party TWRP. I don't know if it was miscommunication or what, but in the process of installing it (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ocvavpttfo...ersion_Fix.img), the phone started having issues.
The initial issue was that the phone would get stuck during boot up. The phone was at the current 2.22 build # but in order to make it at least usable again, I flashed an RUU (1.57 build #) and that seemed to fix everything. But then when I went back from stock recovery to my original TWRP, and flashed a recent backup, the phone froze again during boot up. This process worked many times and as recently as yesterday, but now since trying to install that third-party TWRP, it doesn't. I've tried various things but nothing is working. I know that since I can still reach HBOOT and TWRP that there is hope, but I'm at my wits end as to what to do.
I should also mention that I was using the ViperOne M8 ROM (2.1.0). My phone is unlocked/rooted & S-OFF. There were no issues with it again until I tried to install that new TWRP.
I really love my phone, and hope someone on here can help me. After re-RUUing my phone, I'm going to leave it at 1.57 build # and stock recovery (1.12 #) (and USB Debugging on) until I hear from someone. Basically, I just want my phone to be normal again so I can upgrade back to build # 2.22, flash my custom TWRP recovery, and then flash my most recent backup which included the most recent ViperOne M8 update.

Hi guys,
I received my AT&T HTC M8 last week.
I wanted to flash the Android Revolution HD rom so I unrooted the device, installed TWRP, super CID it and S-Off it.
I tried to install the Rom but the WIFI didn't work so I rolled back to the Stock using TWRP.
I did some reaches and realize I need to update the Firmware so I did. The messaged at the end of the process was "completed successfully" but when I rebooted the device it got stuck at the splash screen. I can hear the ATT load chime but the AT&T icon is not displayed and that's it, stuck!!!!
I entered the HBoot and tried to access the recovery. The screen gets black with a red triangle icon in the center and the device reboot after several minutes. I think the Hboot message is no image.
When I connect the device to the computer it is recognized and I can access the files etc. but the ADB doesn't see the device any more.
I'm really lost and frustrated after hours and hours of reading and research without any luck.
Any help will be truly appreciated.

You have old, 4.4.2 firmware. That is the issue. Get new firmware and instructions on installing it here or here.
Thanks for getting back to me.
The firmware you see in the var. list I placed above is before I changed the Firmware.
As a result the phone is stuck on the splash screen.
I found post Firmware Flashing without the panic attacks... ; (you recommended) and followed the instructions.
The firmware update was complete...
Since that point the phone doesn't boot.
I did a Factory Reset yet still no change.
The most annoing fact is that I can get to the device with ADB.
When I type ADB Devices I get empty list

ADB only works in custom recovery or when booted into OS
Fastboot will work on fastboot mode.
Do flash a custom recovery using fastboot. And also erase cache position before booting into custom recovery
It's working - I'm so happy
Hi guys,
Thanks for your support.
Bottom line - The phone is up and running ARHD Ver 21.
I repeated the whole process (flashing the firmware and the rom) but this time instead of flashing the FW I downloaded from the Revolution site (3.32.531.2) I flashed 3.32.531.2_Firmware_TMUS.ZIP I downloaded from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
So thanks so much for your support.
I'm really really happy
Currently running:
Android Revolution HD 21.1
Firmware: 3.28.401.7
Recovery. TWRP 2.8.1.0
Bootloader unlocked
S-OFF
Super CID
Hi guys I need some help as I feel like I'm at risk of bricking my phone everytime I flash a ROM. Just got my M8 recently and everytime I flash a ROM, it is very difficult to turn the phone back on after flashing. This has happened for both ARHD 21.0 and 21.1 for me, they are the only ROM'S I have tried since having this phone. But after the ROM finishes flashing and I select "finish now", the phone shows a split second of the TWRP lock screen and then turns off. From there it is very difficult to turn on the phone no matter what I try. I have tried holding power button for more than 30 seconds, holding power button+down, and power button+up and still no luck. However when I plug the charger in, the red charging light turns on but nothing comes up on screen still. I have to constantly attempt to hold/press the power button for over 5 minutes for the phone to turn on, and once it's turned on its fine to turn back on even when I restart/turn it off. This has happened EVERY time I flash a ROM and I need help as I really feel like I bricked my phone every time.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you.

Hi guys I need some help as I feel like I'm at risk of bricking my phone everytime I flash a ROM. Just got my M8 recently and everytime I flash a ROM, it is very difficult to turn the phone back on after flashing. This has happened for both ARHD 21.0 and 21.1 for me, they are the only ROM'S I have tried since having this phone. But after the ROM finishes flashing and I select "finish now", the phone shows a split second of the TWRP lock screen and then turns off. From there it is very difficult to turn on the phone no matter what I try. I have tried holding power button for more than 30 seconds, holding power button+down, and power button+up and still no luck. However when I plug the charger in, the red charging light turns on but nothing comes up on screen still. I have to constantly attempt to hold/press the power button for over 5 minutes for the phone to turn on, and once it's turned on its fine to turn back on even when I restart/turn it off. This has happened EVERY time I flash a ROM and I need help as I really feel like I bricked my phone every time.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you.

Can you check TWRP and disable screen timeout? Then reflash Rom and see if that fixes the problem
What are hboot and radio number? Either from hboot screen, or adb getvar all.

Ok, I'm going to try that and let you know when ARHD 22.0 is released because I try to avoid flashing ROM's as much as possible now. Not a nice feeling when it happens..

Please edit your post and remove imei and serialno. Posting them in public forums is a big no no
Please delete your IMEI and serial number from the above post. I only asked for hboot and radio number, but forget that folks here are sometimes over-achievers!
Moderator Information,
IMEI and Serial number have been removed. Please do not post this online. It is personal information.
Many thanks,
Stephen
Sorry about that guys, I didn't know. Thank you for removing.

Try turning off the screen timeout in twrp. That's a common problem with roms that use the aroma installer
Edit: sorry, I overlooked someone else who had the same answer
Prologue:
So there I was, caressing my shiny and smooth M8.
At the beginning of the year I S-Offed, and added DigitalHigh's awesome Beyond Stock...
Later on, I used a standard RUU GPE Rom.
After repeated Wi-Fi password amnesia, I wanted Beyond Stock Back.
Flashing "GPE_5.1_M8_DH_080215.zip" gives me an "Error 7" even with repeated wipes... hehe... wipes
Searching didn't give me a coherent answer.
So I though, let's update TWRP... and...
Now
The thing's only usable in Bootloader.
If I go to recovery or ANYTHING, the "Google" logo stares at me in disgust.
Odd detail: I'm using fastboot and when it's stuck on the "Google" logo, entering "adb devices" detects the phone in recovery mode.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0, but all I see is the "Google" logo. (I can still feel vibrations on the screen as if I'm hitting a menu button)
I also tried to "fastboot -w" and it gave me the "remote: not allowed" result.
Actually, I tried to fastboot a lot of things and the result came the same.
Anyways, I'll give a detailed log as soon as I remember how, but the reason I post this is 'cause searching for this doesn't give an understandable or reliable result.
Thanks

But delete the serial and imei before posting ! If you have an old bootloader you have to use the 2.7 series of TWRP. if you have the latest bootloader (3.18-3.19) you have to use 2.8 series of TWRP !
OOOOOOOOOHHHH, Where I get new M8 bootloader?
Hold Up, going to work, will post 'getvar' later today.
It's there, brah.
Take a look if you can.
It's an AT&T device, you are using it with AT&T ? And you fully converted it from sense to GPE ? You could also :
1: run the GPE ruu again. It will get you on GPE stock again and since you are s-off that should not be a problem of any kind.
2: convert back to sense (original AT&T with software number x.xx.502.x)
i am not sure if the AT&T RUU will cover the "back to sense conversion" so this might be interesting too as it involves the standalone flashing of the firmware first (you need a AT&T firmware, NOT the one posted there !!!)
here is more conversion info :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
and here you can get firmwares : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
if you want number 2 here is more info with a download link to the latest android L RUU : http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-att-htc-one-m8-lollipop-ruu-4-28-502-1-75822/
Didnt want to start my own thread due to the shame..
Hi,,
I have managed to remove my OS, without making a backup. All i have running is TWRP. Was going to install CM12.1, but didnt update the M8 to the latest software that contains relevant bootloader. From here it went downhill - fast.
Ended up with no OS, no backkups, and no ability to flash other ROMS i think.
If someone could give me a few ideas, i would really appreciate it.

Your case is different and you should start your own thread but there are many same case as yours.
Here is one and the solution is in there.. run RUU - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-sos-t3192177
Anything you're not sure, ask there. Don't hijack this thread.
UPDATE: Thanks to ckpv5 and the links that were provided i was able to complete the reinstall - thank you so much!!
Opps - sorry - didnt mean to offend!
Will take a look.
Thanks
Mike
The RUU got me an OS and, right now, that is all I need.
Thank you!!
