Help: Bricked Htc one M8 GPe

Hello everyone, I started to play around with all the diff things you can do with a rooted phone had plans for getting a custom ROM for my phone. Let me stat by saying that I am very new to all this.
I day ago i was getting ready to install the custom ROM for viper (ViperOneM8_1.7.1) reason being is coming from a htc one m7 with sense i wanted to get back to sense from my stock GPe m8.
I was able to unlock my bootloader and get my phone rooted I fallowed this video (How to Root your HTC One M8 - Full Guide) From Sakitech... or least I think im rooted still... I'll come back to you as to why I say "I think I'm rooted".
I thought it would be very simple just fire up the custom recovery and flash the ROM and sit back while it flashed, well everything went down hill from this point. Let me tell you what i did.
First i got to the custom recovery and I did a wipe I did advanced wipe and checked the boxes this is where I think I deleted the OS(after this I could not get back on the phone to do anything only will boot to recovery and it say no OS installed then asks if I want to get SuperSU installed this is where I already thought I was rooted but maybe on not??? I'm very confused about that
Then I used the sideload method to push the rom zip and try to flash the rom at this point I cant get it to flash. First I was getting the MD5 error I checked that off now it will just fail either saying error executing the binary from the zip or that zip is corrupted. (I tried re-downloading the ROM even from mirror link)
At this point I am very frustrated and feel helpless. I tried my best to keep from posting this and try to research to see if i can find the solution myself but I'm having no luck I have my days off from work to get my phone up and running or ill just have to go but another phone. At this point I really need some help. All I want is a working phone if i can get back to GPe stock that would be fine or make the ViperOne work.
Attempts to solve my problem: I tried flashing GPE4.4.3_m8.zip and other stock GPe ROMs nothing works
Thanks for reading and all your help I will sit nest to my comp and answer anything to try make everything as clear as possible. Thank you again

So I tried ViperOne again and it was starting to install but then fails. I searched around and I found that i need to have s-off to be able to install the ROM.
Can I get s-off from the recovery or bootloader/fastboot?

Try this :
Do a full wipe in the recovery, install viper rom but do not choose to do a full wipe in the aroma installer. Once finished you flash the boot.img via fastboot and then reboot the phone.
You do not need s-off to flash custom roms. But the GPE thingy can be the problem....

try that command, and what model did you have originally and did you convert to gpe or flash a gpe ROM.

gave me an error
Code:
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Its a stock Google play edition I bought from the Google paly store, I didnt flash any other rom the ViperOne rom was going to be the first flash on the phone

Do you have an SD reader on your laptop? You can buy a big SD that you can put a small SD card inside it, then put the ROM zip file inside the SD card, after that plug it in your M8 and flash it via twrp.
Let me know if you couldn't understand any point cuz my English is not that good.

Correct command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
status 7 means you don't have right recovery for that ROM
Also search about Stock GPE partition layout, is it same as normal non-GPE. I doubt it as I seen somewhere about people do full conversion to GPE, they need to reflash firmware to correct the partition for Sense ROM. This is what I understand from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589

I have researched about the partition layout and I think you are right. How do i get the right partition layout? this is all a learning experience for me lol. I just hope i can get my phone working again.
In thats case then i might be worse off then i though my phone is s-on an there is no way for me to get it s-off in its current bricked state... to the the Ruu to install
correct me if im wrong but then what i have to do is just flash the stock rom for gpe beacuse since my phone was already stock GPe the the frieware(partition layout) will apcct it... right?
I want to thank everyone at the this point it looks like i have a lot of learning to do. Thank you

Follow the link in the post you quoted:

You should really read carefully before doing stuff with your phone, especially when you are unexperienced.
If you are unsure about anything, ask before you try messing with something and hope that it will work.
You didnt, and now you have the mess.
But now even now you are not able to follow the instructions people are giving you.
In the post you just quoted there are instructions how to go from GPE to Sense and also back (#1 and #2 post)

The post says to try it a few times but still giving me the say error

TWRP - Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)

I rooted my Moto Z Play but I think I screwed up since I can´t no longer flash anything.
The TWRP is working fine (i guess) but when I try to install a ROM I get the following message:
"Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)"
I tried everything but can´t get it working properly.
Prior to this error I think I tried a diferent version of PAC-MAN and ended up with this situation.
Any sugestions?
Thanx in advance!

As far as I know no one has built PAC ROM for moto z play. My guess is TWRP just saved you from bricking your phone. Better make sure you're trying to flash a ROM build for MZP.

C´mon guys, give me a break, I´m not a tech savy or something like that, just a regular lawyer.
Since I didn´t break my MZP what do I have to do to get it working again??

Flash the correct ROM, in the updater script it checks your phone version prior to flashing the ROM.
Go to the development threads and find yourself moto z play specific ROM and flash

It does not boot to the stock ROM.
Just flashed the Nagout that you uploaded on another thread. It install but when I do the swipe after flashing the same error appears and the phone don´t boot. The error always appear after the "Updating partition details...." message.
After the installation I got this message:
Moto Z Play Nougat Installed
script suceeded: result was [Moto z P`lay Nougat Installed]
Updating partition details...
Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)
....done
Then I wiped the cache/dalvik and this occurs:

Updating partition details....

....done
Wiping Dalvil Cache Directories...
Cleaned: /data/dalvik-cache...
--Dalvik Cache Directories Wipe Complete!
Updating partition details...

....done
And when I reboot the system twrp ask to install a su wich I don´t install, the system reboot and after the message warning that my device is unlocked it goes to a dark screen and nothing happens.
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure), is that correct?
Thanks again.

You flashed all the sparsechunks from 0 to 10?
The stock recovery has a dead Andy robot, so that flashed.
Did you flash the boot.img?

You flashed all the sparsechunks from 0 to 10?
The stock recovery has a dead Andy robot, so that flashed.
Did you flash the boot.img?

Yep, exactly the way you told me to do.
ADDISON_RETBR_6.0.1_MPNS24.104-44-7 has a corrupted file, but it didn´t work with the ADDISON_RETBR_MPNS24.104-44-10_cid50_ too.
Will try another one. And thanx again.

Obviously the pacman rom screwed up your partition, normally every rom will check if you're flashing a rom to a specific device.
I don't think flashing any other firmware will help cause it's all the same from one carrier to another.
I think you may need to flash the entire firmware package but it MUST BE YOUR SPECIFIC FIRMWARE PACKAGE otherwise you'll really be bricked.
I'm pulling at straws

Yes and it seems like you can't right to the system and or data partitions. There's more partitions but they're locked or hidden
Try to format your data in TWRP
and wipe system

Huge problem with moto z2 play trying to flash twrp

Hi. Today I decided to root my device (Moto Z2 Play, XT1710-06) and install a good custom ROM, but after unlocking bootloader I tried to flash the recovery with the command fastboot
PHP:
flash recovery twrp.img
and I got the message
PHP:
error: cannot open 'twrp.img'
. So I went with the newest version for albus (twrp-3.2.3-0-albus.img) and I got this:
PHP:
target reported max download size of 534773760 bytes
sending 'recovery' (15564 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.344s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.195s]
finished. total time: 0.539s
After partially flashed it I could only use it once. When rebooting to system (stock) it would overwrite the stock recovery, so TWRP would dissapear. Then I decided to root with the stock ROM in but it got bootlooped.
Finally, I flash recovery again so I could wipe (Including data and system) and install a custom ROM, but didn't work yet because the error messages I get in TWRP after trying to flash the ROMs zip is ERROR 255. I have tried with ToxicRom, LineageOS and Pixel Experience.
What's happening? Did I do wrong wiping the stock system? I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks for reading.

Flash Magisk, after TWRP.

I kinda solved it. Now I'm on Resurrection Remix Oreo but Magisk 18.0 can't be flashed, neither on LineageOs 15.1

I have the xt1710-06 that the operating system is 32 bit from Argentina
I do not know if it's the same cell phone I finally see that someone manages to install the twrp and a custom rom could do a tutorial please?
there is no tutorial for this model and I do not know if you can install a 64bit android in one that has a 32bit operating system
THANKS

Hi, how did you solve it?

Boot TWRP, then flash it from inside TWRP. Flashing from fastboot always throws some error, but just booting the same image has no problem. And of course TWRP can flash itself.
When flashing Magisk, make sure it keeps dm-verity and enforce encrypt. At least Magisk v19 doesn't give me any problem when setting them before. I think v18 was a version acting up here and there

Hi!!
I have a model XT2013-1. I was having the same problem as you, so I updated TROIKA-RETBR on 02/22/2020.
After updating, I did the procedure of this link "https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-action/how-to/twrp-magisk-root-motorola-one-action-t3975883", skipping the step "8.2- Now tap on Wipe> Format Data> Type Yes and go back to the home screen again. " This step gave me the looping error.
Now root works perfect !!

Thank you very much. I will try it.

It's A/B device so it doesn't have dedicated recovery partition. It's inside boot.img.
Use fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted to twrp, you can use the twrp installer zip to flash twrp recovery ramdisk to your boot.img for permanent installation.

Did you follow all instructions from twrp thread. like flashing modified vbmeta and wipe data before booting twrp?
Also take a look at the original thread for one vision as it has a newer zip that contains only one modified vbmeta.img instead of two different ones in the older zip that is posted in one action's twrp thread.

I rooted using fastboot, I could never get into TWRP to flash anything.
In fastboot, I flashed the modified vbmeta.img, then flashed the magisk patched boot img file (I created this with magisk), then flashed the patched vbmeta.img file, then did a fastboot wipe.
Rebooted, set up the phone, installed magisk manager and opened, it needed to update some files. Rebooted, and the device was rooted.

Thank you very much for your input. You must be an expert! WOW! Sorry I am not that expert........ Would you mind explaining (1) how to modify vbmeta.img and (2) how to patch boot.img? It is very impressive to read what you have done, but sorry I am still a beginner. Also, when I flash, "fastboot flash (File Name)" ok?
Thank yuo very much for your help.

You don't need to modify vbmeta.img. I am using the older version of the root Moto Vision package, which has a vbmeta.img file, and a patched vbmeta.img file.
For the modified boot img, I downloaded the full image from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/troika/official/
Extract, and then take the boot.img file, you will want that saved to a phone that has Magisk installed.
Follow these instructions to patch
https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-patch-a-file-in-magisk-manager/
Once you have that, you will want that patched file into the fastboot directory on your computer. You will also want the vbmeta and the patched vbmeta img files (from the root moto vision package) in this directory. I have not used the updated version, I am using the older. I don't know about using the newer package which only has 1 vbmeta file.
Put your phone into fastboot mode.
Flash the vbmeta.img file, then the magisk patched boot file, then the vbmeta patched file. Then do a fastboot wipe of the phone.
Reboot the phone.
Set it up again, install magisk manager, then open it, and it should ask to configure. Let it do that, it should reboot and after that, you should be rooted.

I guess goofball2k detailed reply might have helped by now. On the other hand, I'm just curious to know that the next time you or anyone else for that matter face the same issue, please flash the stock firmware (using any of the Android 10 tools from here ) at that instance, then again start the same process and let me know whether you succeed or not (you will still have to execute the fastboot boot twrp command around 4-8 times, but during all these attempts, you should now get the success message, and after x number of attempts, you should succeed). So in short, if flashing the stock firmware after that error helps you out, do let me know

Thank you

You aren't flashing, your command is trying to boot from vbmeta.img. You are missing the flashing command.
