HTC Desire EYE - Soft bricked -Needs Expert advice - HTC Desire Eye

Hi,
First time to post a question. Please, be patient.
Problems:
1. Fast boot goes into AC (no usb, so no connection with the laptop)
2. Camera not working
What I've done:
1. Flashed TWRP 2.8.4
2. Flashed custom ROMs with no back up (stupid I know)
3. Flashed the Beatmod ROM, then tried to go back to custom ROMs last was [OTA ZIP+TWRP] HTC Desire Eye 2.19.401.1 STOCK Europe 5.0.2 Lollipop, all haven't sorted the issue
3. Flashed the 0PFHIMG firmware, no differece
2 things I've noticed as well while doing these trials: the TWRP says no MD5 file found and when tried to flash crdroid-5.1.1-20151003-eyeul it said your device is M8.
Would really appreciate ur help

bricked, same as me, is because we dint have s-off, just return back to stock with RUU.exe program idk

[Q] Updated to JB but no WIFI / BT /phone signal

Hi all,
Just spent the last six hours trying to get my One X onto JB- well I got it on finally but now have lost WIFI/BT/Data and signal.
I started with bootloader 00.93.0000 I think, then attempted to install JB. This didn't work... So I tried to upgrade the bootloader to 1.31.
I then installed RUU 2.17.401.2 Radio 2.1204.135.20 trying to revert the damage of installing JB with wrong bootloader and upgrade the bootloader thinking .91 was the reason I couldnt update using fastboot commands, it would always hang as it was pushing the file.
I think the above RUU gave me the wrong radio. (was asking for date/time on bootup)
I then used the JBFWTOOL which have me the 1.31 bootloader and then I reflashed Revolution HD 14.
I then installed revolution 9.7.2 thinking it was to do with JB but this hasn't worked either.
It worked the second time around but I have no signal/bt/wifi.
Device ID is HTC_001 s-on
Believe it was O2 but was unlocked I use a 3 sim card in it.
I can still get to the bootloader menu etc
I don't know what else to do. The RUUs wont work due to bootloader and I haven't found any info on just changing wireless packacges like you can with odin.
Please help!
you never mentioned flashing the boot.img
1- update bootloader(seems you already did) and unlock and install cust.recovery
2- flash the boot.img file included in ARHD's rom.zip from the bootloader, fastboot flash boot C:/location_of_boot.img_on_pc
3- install the arhd rom.zip from cust.recovery
Note: sadly since you have installed a new hboot (anything greater than 1.23) there is no way to use an old RUU (ICS), new RUU's wont be released anytime soon (unless leaked)
hence, i recommend properly installing your JB and stick with it, after all its much better than ICS , unless you experience one of the hardware bugs.
Once the newer (1.33) bootloader is released(should be this week), it should fix all currently known bugs, and then you are safe to flash use latest ARHD or Maximus Roms for daily use.

M8 WIFI Troubleshooting after update

Hi everyone,
I'm asking your help because even after some hours i can't get rid of this wifi issue .
I had the VenomViper 2.5.0 on my phone. It was going well but i was expecting to upgrade.
I went on venom web site and i saw : "IF YOU DON’T INSTALL THE NEW FIRMWARE YOUR WIFI WILL STOP WORKING"
So after few research, I found a firmware on this website http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.co.uk/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html.
Obviously i decided (like a dummy) to install the last one. I used my twrp recovery. NP
"KitKat (Android 4.4.4 + HTC Sense 6.0)
Download Android Revolution HD 21.1"
And when the phone finally boot on... No more wifi. I tried many things but it's still the same...
So i'm wondering if someone can please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks for all !!!!
That is a ROM that you downloaded and installed, not firmware.
Firmware is under "Firmware collection" on the page you linked. Firmware is flashed with fastboot, not TWRP. Also, s-off is required.

HTC One M8 - Stuck at Boot Screen after SkyDragon Flash.

Hello Everyone,
I am having an issue with my M8.
I decided to try out SkyDragon, give it a shot.
I downloaded the ROM, put it on my SDcard. Flashed Philz 6.25 recovery, did NOT make a nandroid backup (I know i'm an idiot),then proceeded to flash the rom via Philz.
I flashed the Rom, and followed all the instructions, I then rebooted the phone. Still stuck at the bootscreen. I read the Q&A and tried to flash the rom multiples times. Still stuck on the boot screen. I have an unlocked bootloader with S-ON.
I just got this phone a few months ago and I am unable to take it out of this state. Could use some help. Thank you.
Is your firmware up to date? Not sure about Skydragon specifically, but long boot times (along with broken WiFi) is often a symptom of outdated firmware.
Let the phone alone for 10 minutes or so, and see if it eventually boots, and isn't actually "stuck" (but rather just takes a REALLY long time).
To flash a different ROM, adb push it to internal storage, or put in on your SD with a USB card reader connected to your computer. Then boot into recovery and flash.

Hello,
I've actually tried flashing another ROM "Android HD Revolution" I believe. The phone shows the HTC Screen along with some red text at the bottoms saying "this build is for developer purposes only....". The phone then stays on the HTC screen for ~3mins then reboots and continues to boot loop.
You just need to flash the new firmware that is found in the sky dragon OP.
Easiest way is to use fastboot. Google fastboot firmware m8. Lots of guides out there. It's only a few commands.
Edit: Should have asked if you are s-off. That will make a difference in your ability to flash new firmware.

Hello Thanks for the reply.
However, I am currently S-ON, I have searched ways to achieve S-OFF but they all require installing a ROM. However, I cannot flash any rom, I will just get the bootloop. If you could advise on a method that would work for my situation, I would be very grateful.

Start with fastboot getvar all command in fastboot/bootloader, put the result here (delete serialno and imei no.) .. then we'll see whether is there any stock ROM available for your device.

You needed to make sure you have the latest GPE software, s-off and supper cid... Also you need to know and have ADB/FASTBOOT installed on your PC.. All which can be found throughout all of the various threads.... Right now you soft bricked your device and needed to return to stock... And stay the process over.

You don't "need" the latest gpe software. The rom runs fine on the latest sense firmware.

Issue Resolved!
Hello Everyone.
The issue is resolved. Through many flashes, wipes and commands. Its done. I was able to flash the rom, let the rom sit for ~20mins, and it finally booted up into Lollipop. I now have no wifi. However, I should be able to follow the FAQ to get S-OFF and fix my wifi!. Thanks team. I really appreciate it.

[Q] Can't S-off because of bootloop

Hi,
I've always been using CyanogenMod11 on my HTC One M8 since the day I got it.
But recently I wasn't fully satisfied with it so I wanted to flash a new ROM and simultaneously upgrade to Lollipop. I really didn't want to use HTC Sense so I figured that SkyDragon Google Play Edition would be a good option. I read through the whole post and flashed Philz Touch 6.25.5 since it was the recommended recovery.
The first boot took pretty long but seemed fine. But during the setup I realized the Wi-Fi is not working. Since I read in the F.A.Q. of SkyDragon that that's a common issue I guessed it wouldn't be much trouble.
Now, sadly, I did not make a backup of my completely stock HTC One M8 so I couldn't just update to the latest OTA. So I tried to S-off it but the compatibility-tests of SunShine said the ROM has to be closer to stock. Then I flashed the storc ROM from here and ran SunShine again, this time with positive results. But when it had to restart the phone during the process of S-off'ing it got stuck in a bootloop. Wiping cache and dalvik did nothing, only completely flashing a ROM again did.
Now everytime I flash a ROM the initial boot works but from then I can't just reboot because I always get stuck in a bootloop.
So, I got SkyDragon and it seems to be working just fine, except for the Wi-Fi, the bootloops and I still don't have S-off. I guess that fixing the bootloop might be the first step so I can S-off and manually flash the latest GPE L firmware.

You know you can RUU right??? That'll get you back to stock, and upgrade to the latest version.
Your first problem with WiFi was possibly because you needed to update your Firmware.
Just get the latest Lollipop FW and flash through fastboot. As the above guy mentioned, that'll more than likely fix your wifi issues. If you get the Lolli FW with Hboot/stock recovery then you'll lose all your data and recovery but you can reflash that easily. Try to find one without Hboot/stock recovery and you'll be good to go.
Why everyone is replying to OP that 2 & 1/2 months old ? OP was the first post and he never come back to XDA to post further

Hope I haven't bricked my HTC M8 yet. Need help.

I was trying to install custom rom on my unlocked HTC One M8 and I probably messed up somewhere along the way.
My phone is rooted and S-off. Its got twrp version 2.7.0.2 (if it matters).
I was trying to install skydragon gpe ROM.
This is how my process went : First I backed up my current rom on an SD card (The HTC version with sense and lollipop) and did a factory reset on my phone and tried to install Skydragon for M8.
Soon as I started the process, it said install failed. This is the image i57.tinypic.com/15h6iq.jpg
I tried another rom. Same thing. Failed. I've tried some 5 or 6 roms so far. Nothing works.
To make things worse, when I restore my previous backup (HTC Sense version), it does go through all the way, says its successful.
But, on reboot, the phone is stuck in the HTC One logo and does not proceed at all.
Now my phone isn't usable at all.
Any suggestion helps.
Please help.
Or you need to update the firmware or you need to update the TWRP ! 2.7 is very old !
How do I update twrp without an OS on the phone.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm new to all this.
I tried to update my firmware but all the instructions I found on the web needed an OS installed on the phone.
May be I'm doing it wrong. I have mac to work with or a windows computer with no USB 2.0 ( I only have 3.0 USB). And those instructions say its not 3.0 compatible.
Could someone please post a link that could help me. I tried but could not find one.

It worked!
Finally !!! Don't know how I did it but it worked. I somehow managed to update the twrp recovery (which was what was apparently hindering the OS install in the first place). And then I went ahead and flash my custom rom. And this time it worked flawlessly.
Thanks guys
