My phone boots only into bootloader

Hi guys, I'm having a really big problem because I need to use my phone today but i messed up something.
First i have s-on, installed twrp 2.8, and flashed arhd 34.0 everything worked fine but i had problems with my wifi because of the 4.4.4 firmware on my phone. So i wanted to flash the new firmware but because i was s-on i couldnt do it, so i locked my bootloader and tried again. Now my phone boots only in bootloader and i don't know what to do. Someone please help! :crying:

Before you do anything else, post the result of fastboot getvar all (delete serial no and IMEI no.)

Your first problem here is relocked bootloader. Do you still have custom recovery installed ? Have you try to restore your stock ROM ?
When you mentioned you tried to flash firmware, which firmware version no. ? You fastboot getvar all show you have firmware 3.28.401.9 installed.

I think i have custom recovery still, but i cant get into it, my phone just restarts again into bootloader
And i tried to install the .401 firmware

Here is another problem ... .401 firmware is not good enough. Need the full version no.
Try to unlock your bootloader with your previous unlock_code.bin
Someone here more or less same problem like yours manage to unlock the bootloader :http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/update-bootloader-page-t3015542

There is a problem. I don't have the previous bin file because I bought it second hand. I tried although to unlock it in the htcdev site but it fails.

When on bootloader then press power once to hboot then select recovery, it goes back to bootloader ?
I don't have further idea as the bootloader is locked, except if you don't mind losing everything on your internal storage as this will make your device like a new device out from the box is to use the RUU zip. You need an external sdcard.
Download the RUU zip from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563
Or the lollipop one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58457494&postcount=375
rename the zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on external sdcard
boot to bootloader, press power once to hboot, it will ask you to install or not.

Yes, i get back to bootloader when i select recovery.
I don't mind to lose my data, just get my phone back working
So I'm gonna try this out. It should by itself popup to ask me to install? By external sd card i guess you mean a microsd which i have. Should that zip file be the only file there or can I put it in with other files?

Yes... it will pop-up when you select hboot then press power up to install.
external_sdcard is the microsd. No problem to put it with other files, correct naming is important and put in root of microsd not in folder

Please help me get back to stock

I am currently on viper one 2.5.0 and need to go back to stock before I can get Viper one 4.0.
I have tied myself in knots in my attempts at following tutorials and advice on this forum. I think I need someone to hold my hand and take me through it slowly.
Here's where I am so far...
I have downloaded the stock backup file corresponding to my CID and O.S (orang_001 and 1.54.61.5)
I have tried to flash this file by installing through Cwm recovery from sd card but get "installation aborted"
I have tried flashing via adb fastboot which fails on signature check.
I have s-on and cannot get s-off via sunshine because of an error about having a debuggable ram disk.
Please, can someone please tell me what my first step should be

You can't flash/install a backup zip. You need to extract it on PC and transfer the extracted folder/files to recovery backup folder. Then use the recovery to restore (not install)
Your first step, post result of fastboot getvar all (minus serial no. & imei no.) to determine you have the backup to restore

You sure do need 1.54.61.5 backup and 1.54.61.5 recovery.img
You can get them from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
I'm not familiar with Philz/CWM recovery but the basic are :
1. Extract the downloaded backup zip on your PC.
2. Install Philz/CWM recovery if the backup made with it.
3. Transfer the extracted folder with its contents to sdcard\Clockworkmod\Backups\ or ext_sd\Clockworkmod\Backups\ ... up to you
4. In Philz/CWM recovery, go to backup & restore
5. Select restore from sdcard or sdcard1 (depends on where you put the backup folder)
6. Do the restore
7. Select reboot to bootloader
8. Install/fastboot flash 1.54.61.5 stock recovery (If the backup already have the stock recovery restored you can skip this but no harm doing it to ensure the stock recovery is installed)
9. Reboot - do software update check and proceed with OTA - you need to do this multiple time to update up to the latest lollipop 4.19.61.2
Good luck and good night ... bed time

As I mentioned I don't know much about Philz/CWM and how they work. I read a few times about the same problem.
Which version that you use ? Try philz_touch_6.26.6-m8.img

Yeah, It looked like I was using the wrong version of CWM. I then tried with Philz_touch and could initiate the restore which would get very close to completion then fail when writing the system at 1444/2110. I then downloaded the second backup file from hofs thread and that has worked like a charm.
So the file which worked for me has a backup date 2014-04-12.08.16.28 and the one that did not work was 2014-07-03.16.03.36.
Anyway, I'm very grateful for your advice.
Thanks friend, Have a good day

Deleted Teamwin Recovery without having stock recovery again-Bootloop HTC One M8

Hey everyone
The thing is that I was trying to return my phone to stock recovery to update my phone to Marshmallow and unroot it and I read this in another forum:"Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.
Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.
Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk."
So I followed these instructions and then when I rebooted the phone,it got stuck in bootloop. I can't turn it off now or get into the bootloader.
Android-HTC One M8
What can I do to have my phone again in stock recovery?
Thanks in advance

First of all if you rooted the rom this ain't going to work. You need a never rooted stock rom + recovery.
Hold power + volume up and switch to volume down when the screen turns black (do not let go of the power button) then you are in the BL. From there you go to the custom TWRP recovery.
Then you have to find a pure stock backup or a RUU that matches your OS/firmware number (if you haven't made one yourself), restore it and flash the stock recovery and you are done.

Also I try to get to the recovery menu but it only shows a phone with a red triangle,nothing else.

You can't run the dev edition RUU at all as you are S-ON and have a different firmware. If you have the 709 RUU then try that indeed. But backup what you need because a RUU deletes EVERYTHING !

No S-OFF is NOT needed. just get the RUU with that version number indeed if it's even available. Then run it with a RELOCKED bootloader.

Can't get my m8 to boot anymore

I used to have a custom rom on my phone but I tried to wipe it and im not sure what happened but I don't think there's an OS on there anymore. It gets stuck on the HTC white screen. I am able to access fastboot and I have TWRP recovery installed that I'm able to access, but I believe it's an older version. I tried just downloading another rom and flashing it but it still wont boot. I'm not sure what I need to get it working again.

Yes your Firmware is the version-main and its empty, thats crappy.
First download this TWRP Stock Nandroid Backup: https://mega.nz/#!mYxDWApA!JbdLZAhYkz8fas5MpPfOQqGScikCLCmG21KBsjRJKQQ
Then use latest twrp recovery 3.0.2-0: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img.html and install it.
Here is the Stock Recovery that you need later: https://mega.nz/#!SUATBBbQ!-IUlr_tqnpkYFUM0bedRSRH3w__nCZjEAYls-5zncX4.
Then do this taken from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
The basic idea is : fastboot flash recovery NameOfRecovery.img
2. Download TWRP backup - link in post #2 & post #3
3. Download stock recovery - link in post #4
4. Extract the downloaded x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5.zip on PC
5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.
6(a). Reboot, connect device to PC then
open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
open SD Card - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to MicroSD)
6(b). For those with no OS, connect device to PC. In TWRP recovery go to mount, make sure MTP is enabled.
Then you can open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
7. Transfer the extracted x.xx.xxx.x folder (not x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device, so it looks like this :
TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./x.xx.xxx.x
8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)
9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore
10. In reboot menu select bootloader (when TWRP asks whether you want to root your device, select do not install)
11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img
12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install
13. you may have multiple OTA when your device currently on a lower version
14. done
If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP after last OTA
NOTE : There is no need to relock bootloader when doing the nandroid way to revert to stock and do OTA.

You won't be able to run current ROMs because your firmware is too low version.
What you can do is run the latest RUU to get back to stock at Marshmallow firmware then reinstall TWRP to install any custom ROM that you like
1. You need these drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4
2. You need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On, use command
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. You need to install htc signed 6.20.531.5 firmware
Download :
https://mega.nz/#!yIhBTRKJ!5rZldUEzCaFqYUhomn4mO_IgA_-nW6-gV9HX5LCzT5Y
run commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
you'll see error : FAILED
repeat fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. You need to install the latest 6.20.531.5 RUU
Download : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-t-mobile/news/
right click the RUU.exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions - agree/accept, next,next,update,blablabla until it finish.
Now you'll have a out of the box state device.
You can unlock the bootloader again with the unlock_code.bin
Re install TWRP - use the latest TWRP 3.0.2-0
You can install any custom ROM that you like.
All the above procedure require you to put the device on bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC.
The above procedure will wipe everything in your device including internal storage data/files (if you want to backup first, install TWRP 2.8.1.0 and in recovery you can enable MTP after connect to PC to copy out files from Internal storage)
All these require you to have a Windows PC with USB2.0

Hboot 3.16 means OP is on 1.xx firmware.
Which also means the nandroid and stock recovery you suggested are off by 3 versions (4.xx). Are you guessing at the version number?
ckpv5 has the best route. RUU will update the firmware, and get the phone back up and running.

No i didnt guessing at the version number, i thought that he have a higher Firmware version. Im so sorry, i had the problem earlier also on my M7 and yes then i have taken a RUU too, but that was off by 1 version And i haven't the Problem on my M7 with a clear os display in bootloader.

Thanks for this information. I had tried to revert back to stock using that exact RUU from the HTC website but it would keep failing and I didn't know why. Using the stock firmware steps you included got it work. I appreciate the help.

If you had posted the RUU failure symptoms (Error number and message, if there was one; specific behavior and results, etc.) we could have helped there (and still be happy to, if you are at all curious about getting RUU to work). But it looks like you sorted it without RUU, anyway.

Restoring by RUU versus nandroid are two completely different things, and you should be careful not to confuse the two:
RUU re-writes all partitions, including firmware, so there is no chance of a mismatch between firmware and ROM. Therefore, you don't need to match the RUU version to firmware, as long as the RUU is equal or greater number than the current firmware on the phone (no "downgrading" with s-on). And with s-off, this requirement is removed entirely, so you can run any version RUU that matches your CID, MID.
Restoring by nandroid is a completely different animal. Nandroid just contains the ROM and kernel. It needs to match the firmware on the phone, otherwise it won't work properly.

I understand his post differently .. he managed to run RUU after firmware is flashed, a step his missed before (a needed step to run a MM RUU on lower firmware, but never told earlier).

Now I understand. Its confusing, since the 2 methods (both of which have you to credit) to return to stock are both referenced in this thread (another user references the nandroid method); and folks often use the term "firmware" incorrectly to refer to the ROM.
It also means that the user did not follow your instructions in Post #5 in the proper sequence. So RUU failing was inevitable, and easily avoidable; if they had followed your instructions in the proper order.

OTA's not working.

I'm sure a a post like this have came up a million times but I can't find any. Recently I have just fully unrooted my phone and set it back to stock recovery and everything. So as I was setting up the basically factory phone I went to install the software update for o2. And so I download the file and I think everything is good. But when I go to install it, it just restarts the phone in the fastboot mode and update s not applied, and from here I'm not sure how to get the update working. I would appriciate any help given
Thank you for your time to help.
If you need the CID and other information I will get it posted

Fully unrooted most of the time won't work for OTA.
You need a never rooted stock ROM to update.
I may have the backup that you need in my thread linked in my sig.

I used one of your backups when I was unrooting the phone, but it still doesn't seem to work? I matched the CID for the recovery and I think I got a rom from a different stock post

How can you unrooting when using my backup ? It comes stock non-rooted.
The recovery, you don't match with CID but match it with the stock backup that you restored.
Example - 3.32.206.9 stock backup, install 3.32.206.9 stock recovery
Wrong recovery, OTA will fails.
Post your fastboot getvar all result (delete serial & imei no. before posting), we'll see which one that you actually need.

With this info, you need to restore 2.22.206.6 stock backup and install 2.22.206.6 stock recovery to successfully OTA.
Then you need to do multiple OTAs : 2.22.206.6 -> 3.32.206.9 -> 4.20.206.1 -> 4.20.206.2 -> 6.13.206.5
Doing this kind of OTA, no need to relock bootloader
If you want a shortcut - install 4.20.206.2 RUU.zip
Download - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960686241
After install 4.20.206.2 RUU, you need to do only one OTA to 6.13.206.5
You can follow this guide but use the above RUU not the one in the guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Doing this RUU then OTA, you need to relock bootloader first and this will wipe everything in your internal storage. Make backup before you proceed.

What you mean that you messed up.
It's not easy to brick a S-On device ... did you follow instructions accordingly.
Explain what you did to see where it is wrong.
