Black screen after HTC startup logo please help! [bricked probably] - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
So my HTC one M8 was rooted with TWRP recovery. It was running Android 5.0 I think. I got an OTA update but I was not able to update it because of TWRP. I wanted the update so bad and I searched on Youtube to know how to update the software. I found a video and I followed these steps.
1 - Replace custom recovery with stock recovery
2 - Process OTA Update
3 - Replace stock recovery with custom recovery
However, when I replaced the custom recovery with the stock recovery, I downloaded the OTA update and updated it. But after the update completed, the device never booted up. It shows the HTC logo then it goes black! (The screen is still on, but black!) Have I bricked the phone? How Can I fix it please!
PS. Here is the video I watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPPT5J8xG6w

That video is nonsense. There is a blatant mistake at 6.44 and the knob doesn't see it. You need to go back to stock first, then take the OTA.

Go into fastboot and open a command prompt. Type in fastboot getvar all and post the output here. Remove your serial and IMEI numbers before you post. Hopefully we can get you back to stock.

Okay, before I see your respond I did a stupid thing! I flashed TWRP and I wanted to flash stock ROM and I followed these instructions from this website
http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/01/htc-one-m8-4-16-401-10-stock-lollipop-ruu-0p6bimg/
But when I want to flash the rom its says "target reported max download size of 1826414592 bytes error: cannot load 'L50RUU.zip'"
Anyway, now my device is " Relocked" and when I type fastboot getvar I get this>>>>

Luckily you have a WWE device. Download this RUU and run it from Windows. Make sure you have HTC drivers installed. The easy way to do that is to install HTC Sync and then uninstall it. The HTC drivers will be left behind. That will take you to stock 4.16.401.10. You will then receive the update to 13.

No, the bootloader needs to be relocked/locked for the RUU.exe to work. It should work from fastboot mode. If it doesn't, I'll be on again tomorrow.

[Q] okay so..

I used Windows to do custom recovery via all-in-one toolkit and it says it was successful and even had the android at the bottom of the screen on the skateboard.
I choose recovery and it comes to the white HTC screen and a disclaimer and then goes to a black screen and nothing....
I have S-Off and Temproot from Weaksauce..should I just root with the toolkit?
Help.

OK as of right now, I have S-Off and Unlocked and rooted with TWRP Recovery. I just tried to install ViperOne and it's stuck in a bootloop at the HTC Screen.
Any suggestions or...?

Did you check the md5 on your Viper download? Did you do a wipe before you installed? Did you make a backup before you wiped? You'll probably want to do some more research before you really break your phone.
You'll want to grab your RUU from Santods stock Rom thread. The command you're typing is wrong. It's "fastboot flash zip Rom.zip". There's no oem in that command and your RUU has to be named Rom.zip. follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475216
If you're already locked and s-on you won't be able to do anything...You'll have to gain s-off again.

thank you for that little bit of info but i am locked and have s-on because I saw something say you needed it to restore stock, but from what you are telling me is that i'm S**t out of luck? I can boot fastboot and thats about it, recovery is not working and when I try to boot, it goes past the HTC screen and goes straight into bootloader.

You're supposed to lock first, RUU and then s-on to return to stock but if you just need to run an RUU, you don't have to lock or anything. You should be able to use weaksauce and firewater to get s-off again, I think. What info is showing on your boot loader?

I would just run weaksauce and then use firewater to get s-off since you can't do anything without the that anyway. From there you can fastboot flash a recovery and then adb sideload a rom. It's probably not in your best interest to keep trying different things. It doesn't matter what RUU you ran because it didn't successfully flash...otherwise you would be able to boot up. Good luck trying whatever you do, though.

I bet your main is NOT officially 1.54.401 or 2.22.401 your phone displays that because it reads the custom rom you are running. That so called "stock rom" is not the correct stock rom for every device ! Read the OP of that thread, perform the fastboot commands and compare the main version number !
Is the main version number blank you start looking for the CID in that list !
And what do you mean with "can't install stock recovery" flash it like any other recovery. They are all img files !
Installing means I flashed it. But not working. Doesn't enter into recovery when flashed with stock.

What do you see when you enter the stock recovery ? And this info comes from an app....i want the outcome of the fastboot commands
This stuff also reads your custom rom !
The HTC screen stays on. Noting more. No "entering recovery" text either. . then have to press vol up+ power to reboot.

See the problem. Your cid is not the wwe cid and definitely NOT based on 1.54.401 or 2.22.401 ......
Check your CID online (Google) and see if it comes up with a main version number ! That's what you need. As i recall i don't have that cid in my collection.
Didn't you create a stock backup yourself ? Or s-off the device with SUNSHINE.

Get HTC m8 to lollipop!

Hello I just bought an m8 on aliexpress (took a while to get to me...) and when I first turned it on I noticed that it was already rooted (it is refurbished and they send it that way. It is new but rooted) and is on android 4.4.4, pretty old. There are a lot of improvements with the updates from htc but when I search for the option on the settings it is not there, it should, but it isn't there. So, I want to get it updated with the RUU which I think shoud be the safest option (I don't really care to lose root) but the thing is I don't really know what RUU I am supposed to get! The phone is supposed to be unlocked. This is the information I got with "getvar all"

I don't really know what was done to the phone, and actually my main reason to do this is to update it to lollipop and be able to keep upgrading. If someone can help me with that I would really apreciate it!
First of all it's a verizon phone, secondly it's S-Off and has SuperCID already, interesting.
luckily for you, you just have to download this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934538714
if you want non verizon rom e.g no bloat and crap like that, I'll help you further, but first you must run the RUU.

more info here about the whole process, it's very simple.
Good luck, have fun.

Why do you hide an inportant info modelid ? You should remove serial & imei no as they are sensitive info.
Flashing firmware alone won't upgrade your OS.
Install 4.16.401.10 RUU to upgrade your OS (but this will wipe everything on internal storage) - get it here : http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8
Or you can use 4.16.401.10 nandroid backup to upgrade the OS (this will not wipe your internal storage) - get it from link in my signature
i didn't hide nothing

To run a RUU .. you need USB2.0 and latest HTC USB driver installed. If not sure, download HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
install it as it will install the latest HTC USB driver then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager but leave the driver.
Also check whether your Win 10 has these 2008 C++ installed. You may need them too.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Turned out I was installing the wrong update. I am using Verizon version in Pakistan and it can only be updated in the US by the carrier. Would appreciate if anybody helps regarding this.
thank you

Greetings, Aivilon
Hi Guys
I made it. I just visited http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860 and downloaded nandroid Backup 6.16.401.101_ckpv5.zip and the Bootloader for it.
After a Backup from the running System i restored the nand from ckpv5 (Thank you at this part for your collection!!!!)
It runs. Didn't know that this will work. thought i have to do the ota that anything gets an update. but till now anything runs... :laugh:
The MM ROM runs is correct but your bootloader is most probably is on the lower version.
Put fastboot getvar all result again ... maybe I can help to update your firmware too if needed
Followed the (excellent) guide step by step but am stuck at step 12
When I reboot it says "your phone is encrypted"
Obviously I have no idea of the code. I have factory reset again but same issue. I am now at minus 3 decryption attempts (in other words I have tried 33 times)
Any idea how to disable encryption ?

OK, solved my own problem thanks to Gary Maskell : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQM6KIDr4-k
I needed to do a full format through TWRP at some point in the process. Since I was wiping everything anyway, I wasn't concerned about data loss. Should you need to do the same, please ensure that you have saved everything you need first
Big thanks to @ckpv5 and @avilon as well as to Gary

Thank You. I am now waiting for you response.
You need these steps :
1. Change your current modelid: 0P6B6**** to 0P6B10000
How-to read this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
If you can boot to recovery (not sure twrp 3.0 can work on KitKat, if can't install twrp 2.8.3.0)
Then run command adb shell
Skip command su
Then the rest for Europe MID codes
2. Install RUU - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
There is a shortcut way with flashing firmware only but seems you're new to this, installing RUU is a better option
3. Install twrp 3.2.1.0
4. Install your Oreo ROM

Please Help me, My phone is currently off. Please help me.
Your getvar show you successfully changed MID as said in step 1.
But you skip step 2 and install lineage 14.1, this won't work & explained the bootloop.
Do step 2 then post fastboot getvar all. Once ok then only do step 3 & later step 4 install lineage OS

thanks My phone is working with Marshmallow. I want to move on oreo.......How I can move on to it, and please suggest me a best rom thanks.
Follow step 3 then step 4 as you completed step 1 & 2.
I can't suggest a best rom as I usually on my own customized ROM, but now I'm on Oreo LOS 15.1 and there's only one Oreo LOS 15.1 that openly public release for now.

ckpv5 graciously gave you all the steps required to update the firmware and install an Oreo ROM. Why are you skipping steps? Just follow them all. He wouldn't post it, if you didn't need to do it. Why would you only follow half the advice given to you, and expect it to work properly?
