Hey everyone, here's the situation that I am in right now:
I rooted my phone and flashed an Insert Coin ROM but wanted to return it back to complete stock form.
I have a HTC One M8 thats currently locked to T-Mobile. The CID is T-MOB010 and the Build Number is 2.22.401.4
There is TWRP installed on this phone, version 2.8.1.0.
The problem that I am having is this: when I boot into TWRP recovery mode, I go to restore and look for the stock ROM, but it does not show up in the menu. I looked in both internal storage and SD Card storage, but it does not show up in either. I also tried moving the files manually through TWRP, but no luck.
I looked through the phones files using the File Manager App and I see the files are there, but once again I cannot see them when I use TWRP recovery mode.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

read that all...hint 1 : your OFFICIAL build number is NOT 2.22.401 !
Not sure I follow. I checked the build number on my phone to confirm.

That's the ROM base (software build). What you need to know is your firmware version. Boot into your bootloader (turn off phone, then hold power + vol down). What it says under OS is your firmware version.
You can also hook up to your PC/ADB in fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all. What it says under version-main is your firmware.

I have done that and the OS version is not stated.

That is caused by your recovery being out of date. It`is also reported to be caused with TWRP 2.8.1.0. Update to TWRP 2.8.0.3. There is another newer version, but 0.3 seems to be the most stable.
Updated TWRP, still no OS version listed.
In order to explain fully I need to show the process I tried using.
I followed the instructions from this site: http://theunlockr.com/2014/06/08/how-to-unroot-the-htc-one-m8-video/
I boot my phone into recovery mode and select the Restore option in TWRP. I try to find the Nandroid backup that I transferred to my phone but it does not show up. I try looking through both the internal storage and SD card but nothing shows up there either.

[Recovery] [RUU 2.22.531.6] [TWRP Nandroid Backups] [Radio IMGs][ OTA 3.32.531.2
Just do an RUU and get back to stock, seeing as you are T-Mobile US yes? T-MOB010 is T-Mobile US...
There you'll get RUU, recoveries, radios, nand backups and OTA's (Which contains firmware already).
I don't get what the problem is?
The problem is when I boot into TWRP Recovery and go to the Restore option, the files are not showing. I checked both internal and SD Card storage but it does not show either. I am using TWRP 2.8.0.3

Try making a backup of just the boot to either internal/sdcard, so that TWRP can create the directory for you. Maybe you didn't unpack it into the right directory.
Make sure you have your devices "serial number" folder and not the one from the person that backed it up(If you're using a downloaded nand). When it's unpacked you have to place just the backup folder into the directory, if they kept it "default" it'll start with the date--time--release for example: 2014-12-06--05-20-22-KTU84P release-keys The highlighted area can ofcourse change depending on the version it has backed up, as will date and time(Logically). Inside that folder you'll have plenty of files like boot.emmc.win, system.ext4.win000 (etc) data.ext4.win etc etc. You need to place that folder inside the TWRP Backups folder.
Like I said, make backup of boot so that TWRP can create the directory for you, then it'll end up something like:
/storage/ext_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourserialnumberfolder/2014-12-06--05-20-22-KTU84Prelease-keys/
Thanks for the advice.
I managed to fix the issue using RUU. I don't know why TWRP was acting this way, but my I'm ok now.
Thank you everyone for the help
Here is the method I used just for future references: http://www.android.gs/downgrade-t-mobile-htc-one-m8-to-official-stock-firmware-with-ruu/
Possibly Basic questions here but I'm trying to sort out the mess I made of it last time. And looking at other threads I don't think it will be as simple as i first thought, here are what I think are the relevant factors.
I have TWRP installed
as far as I can tell no operating system is running (when I try and boot normally is says startup wizard has failed and nothing else happens)
It is currently relocked but I can easily swap between the two
I've been using the all in one 2014 m8 programme
It is on 3 (network) in the UK
S-ON at the moment and I can't figure out how to change it or if i need to
So I think all i need is to flash the right RUU onto my phone and update it from there? but A) I can't figure out how to know which RUU I need and B) other threads it's starting to look like i need to install the stock recovery too? how do I do that?
Also is it a problem that I cant access settings or anyhting through the phone so don't seem to be able to turn debugging on :/
Any help would be much appreciated.
You do not need stock recovery to RUU (only needed for OTA). But you do need a LOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader (since you are s-on), it needs to be for your CID, and RUU has to be equal or greater firmware version than what is on the phone (no "downgrading" unless you are s-off).
CID is usually determined using adb, but you said that you can't turn debugging on. So possibly you can look for the CID online, or somewhere here who knows can chime in.

If you're on Three UK I'm going to guess your CID will be H3G__001 and, if so, there is no RUU available. You'd have to use a backup and restore that. The other option you have is to S-OFF the phone and then 'debrand' the phone so it becomes the unbranded, generic M8 sold in the UK

OK thanks, so none of the backups I can find are any good. all the guides for turning S-Off require downloading something onto the phone and running it but as i cant get past the setup wizard I can't do any of that, is it possible to S-Off through USB? I seem to be able to do things that should require debugging on even though i can't get to the settings.
Ooookay, so what is the disadvantage of me restoring to one of the nandroid backups in the OP,?
CID H3G___001
1.54.771.5 - Philz touch Thanks to E
1.12.771.17 - TWRP Thanks to Timnyce19
I realise it wouldn't give me back a full stock android but it'd give me a working phone with which more is possible right?
sorry for all the questions, I nearly get it, just made a wrong turn somewhere

1. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
2. Download TWRP backup 3.32.771.10 from the link that I gave earlier
3. Download stock 3.32.771.10 recovery from the link that I gave earlier
4. Extract the downloaded 3.32.771.10_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. Reboot, connect device to PC then open Internal Storage, TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./
7. Transfer the extracted 3.32.771.10 folder (not 3.32.771.10_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device
the path will look like this : TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./3.32.771.10
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
11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery 3.32.771.10_recovery.img
12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install
13. your device now updated to 4.20.771.2
14. done
If you want to install TWRP again, make sure you install TWRP 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.6.0 or higher after updated to 4.20.771.2
Good luck ... I'm way pass my bed time ... good night
Thanks man, sorted me right out.
Much appreciated
So I did this, everything seems fine apart from the wifi can't connect and it doesn't want to download anything to the internal storage, I tried uninstalling and going through the process again and I can use Wifi once I've flashed the backup no problem, but once it's updated to 5.0 it seems to stop working.
Anyone got ideas? Can't find anything on google about this specific problem
Hello guys,
I'm newbie here. I'm not a tech guy, to be honest. My problem is that I'm stuck on the HTC Logo Screen. My phone is HTC One M8 Eye.
So this morning, I was trying to root my phone. I unlocked my phone already ( now my phone said "Software Status: Modified" and "***Unlocked***" ). Everything was good until I was installing SuperSU.zip file. It didn't work. So I tried to search for a newer version of SuperSU, I think it's 2.56 or 2.76. I copied that to my phone, trying to install via TWRP 2.7.0.2. Everything was good, I though. It said "successful" and "all done". But when it rebooted, it got stuck on HTC Logo Screen.
I tried to turn it back on and off by holding the lock botton, volume up and volume botton at the same time. Then I tried to force it to go into the fastboot mode ( I don't know what to do call that ) where it showed me some options like fastboot, hboot, recovery and stuffs...I'm freaked out from this point and tried to relock my phone via the toolkit by Hasoon. Then I also returned my phone to S-on.
Now the problem is that I can get into the recovery screen with options like fastboot, hboot, but I don't have access to my internal storage anymore. And I'm stuck with HTC Logo Screen. The closest time was that it said "HTC One tm" but not "HTC". Then nothing happens next.
I'm pretty sure I messed up...A LOT.
Please, if anyone knows how to solve this, help me? I'm like, here, begging you since this phone is really important to me.
Thank you in advance.
1. Your main mistake is using an outdated tool
2. Bigger mistake you used tool meant for M8 not M8 eye (they are different device)
3. Biggest mistake you used an outdated TWRP and not meant to be used on M8 eye.
You can try :
1. Install correct TWRP for M8 eye - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62030698&postcount=144
2. Install SuperSU 2.76
and see your device will boot or not.
If not, you need to restore nandroid backup or RUU

This is exactly what is supposed to happen when you relock the bootloader, it renders the phone unable to boot into OS. This should never be done, unless you are going to flash an RUU.
Along with the other mistakes already pointed out, it seems you are trying things without properly understanding what the result will be, and without researching properly beforehand.
Also, you say you went back to s-on, but were you ever actually s-off? The only working s-off method is sunshine, which requires root. Therefore, I don't see how the phone could have been s-off (unless you received it that way) and it doesn't actually make sense when you say you returned to s-off.

That is called the bootloader screen. You were trying to get into fastboot mode, and you got the bootloader screen, which then allow you to select fastboot (use vol keys to move between options, power button to confirm, if fastboot is not already selected) so I don't see what the issue is here?
Hello,
Thank you for your reply. I successfully installed the TWRP version you mentioned. But I don't know how to push the supersu zip file into my phone now since I don't have access to the internal storage.
Can you help me please?
Thank you very much!

Boot into TWRP, and your phone's internal storage should show up if you connect to your PC.
Hello redpoint73,
Thank you for your help.
But I'm now stuck in a new problem. I'm stuck at the bootloader screen.
I guess I'm somehow closer to finishing fixing my phone ( or I hope so since this is really important to me ).
I tried to install ROM ( which I downloaded from the HTC website I think ) but it didn't work out well. It said it was about to reboot but when it did, it returned to the bootloader screen. I tried to reboot a 2 times already but it always returned to the same screen.
What should I do now?
Thank you again.

I can't tell from the (lack of) information provided, what you have done to this point.
You said you installed TWRP 3.0? Were you ever able to boot into TWRP (or it just went to bootloader)?
If you were able to boot TWRP, were you able to use it access internal storage, as I suggested? Then what happened next?

What you downloaded is likely an RUU (ROM Update Utility) not just a ROM, there are distinct and critical differences, and you should take care not the mix up the terminology.
What is the (full and exact) file name of the RUU? You need to make sure its the right one for your device, before proceeding. And to make sure which path you want to take: TWRP to flash SuperSU or restore stock backup, or RUU. As the process is very different for each. RUU required you relocking the bootloader, which in turn prevents the installation of TWRP. So you need to be sure of which way you want to proceed the path forward, otherwise you will be wasting time going around in circles.
Also, you should do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can see more info about the phone; in order to proceed properly.
Dear redpoint73,
Thank you for all the help you have provided until now.
Yes, I can get into the TWRP ( after I selected HBOOT, I selected RECOVERY and there I was, in the TWRP ). I can get to the internal storage but I'm not sure that is what you mentioned before. Which I can access is that I can select the zip file to install ( in the TWRP screen ) , nothing else I guesss. ( I asked yesterday that how could I access the internal storage because I wanted to copy the ROM file into my phone and install it in the TWRP )
I think I downloaded both the RUU and the ROM.
Case 1: WITH THE RUU:
Everything was okay and I'm pretty sure that I downloaded the correct version ( the other two versions said that I had to use the correct one for my phone ). The file name was RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_6.20.502.5_combined. However, I encountered the error 171 although I downloaded the HTC One Drivers already ( which is HTC Sync ). I couldn't get through this error so I gave up and tried something with the ROM.
Case 2: WITH THE ROM:
So I downloaded the ROM first from someone in xda forum. I installed it via TWRP and it said "Successful" on the screen. It said that I just gotta tap "reboot". But when my phone rebooted, it went back the bootloader screen. I rebooted 2 more times and the results were still the same. So I searched for some ROMs from other sources and all the times, it said "Successful" on the screen. It just always went back to the bootloader screen however.
Anyway, this is my phone info ( I think ) from the command getvar all:
version: 0.5
version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
version-baseband: 1.29.213311711.15G

I hope this works out well
Case 1 : wrong RUU for your device
Case 2 : wrong ROM for your device
Do you really read what I posted above ? Your device is M8 eye not M8.
Case 1 : there is no RUU available for M8 eye 5.07.425.1
Case 2 : there is almost no flashable ROM for M8 eye
Using M8 RUU you'll get error, using ROM meant for M8 it won't boot, you'll get stuck on bootloader
Until you can find 5.07.425.1 RUU or backup, temporarily fix your device by restoring 5.07.401.1 backup that you can find in my backup thread.
Thank you for all of your help guys!
All sorted and my phone is back, alive!
I really appreciate what you did for me!

When booted into TWRP, you can connect to PC, and the phone's internal storage (as well as SD, if you have one inserted) will show up as a drive on your PC, that you can freely drag and drop files, etc.
If not, go to the MOUNT button in TWRP; and check the "Data" box (and "Micro SDcard" if desired). But these should be checked by default (at least on the TWRP build I'm on).

Not sure how you can be "pretty sure" this is the right RUU, and how you came to think it was. This is the RUU for the US AT&T version. Also, the RUU would need to match the version number in the RUU name (at least have "425" in the position x.xx.425.x as that number is the carrier version identifier).

Always make a backup of the current (known good, working) ROM in TWRP, before flashing a new ROM. That way, you always have an easy way to restore to stock or the previous working ROM, if something goes wrong.
I'm always surprised at how many folks skip this step. It should be a cardinal rule for any rooting, ROM flashing, etc.
But I also don't think that returning to stock would solve your issue. I think your internal storage is corrupt. I assume you don't have any data you want to try to recover (it probably can't be retrieved at this point, anyway)? Boot into TWRP, press the Wipe button, then select the "Format data" button. Don't mess with the Advanced button (and wipe options therein) unless we tell you.
After format data, reboot and see if the issues with writing to storage is fixed, and let us know.

HTC devices don't have download mode. It has hboot (bootloader) and you can select fastboot mode, or go to recovery from there. But no download mode.

okay so i followed the steps you gave me and was able to download to my internal and load another rom onto it. also it wasn't me who had wiped the phone entirely it was the person i got the phone from he said he wiped everything on twerp except the system..........which in itself was stupid cause that means you wiped everything on the phone from the recovery options to basic system stuff. i am now running bliss pop v 6.2 i think but i may chage that to cm 13 due to an error for Pokemon go , King Tongue, and YouTube Vr. Pokemon go and Youtube vr gets a blue circle in the middle of the screen and keeps you from playing the game or using your onscreen buttons to leave the app the only way to leave is to put the phone to idle mode (press the power button) then unlock the phone and then quickly press the home button.. but you have helped me with my issue thank you im to use to Samsung and Lg lol.
P.S. Do you buy any chance on how if i ever wanted to go back to stock on how i can do so ?

I don't know what you mean by "recovery options to basic system stuff". By not wiping system, the OS is kept fully intact. All the other options are various forms of user data.
But yes, wiping most/all the options in the TWRP "Advanced" wipe section is foolish. Folks often will do this, which wipes the ROM they want to flash, TWRP backups, and even system itself (then wonder why there is no OS!).

I do know, but I can't tell what "stock" is for your phone, besides that its Dev Edition. Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

I get the fast-boot thing but where is the option for the getvar all? is it in the first option after doing the button sequence power+vol down or after choosing fast boot?
fastboot getvar all is a command that you put in your PC, in CMD... you must have fastboot and adb drivers installed
Hey there all,
I'm kinda new here and have a problem i can't figure out.
Tried to manually install the android 7 image and it went totally wrong, due to my own stupidity:angel:.
Following things:
-Kernel: Lk
-Product: htc_himauhl
-version: 1.0
-version-main: 3.35.401.32
-MID: 0PJA10000
-CID: HTC__031
The bootloaders is unlocked but it have S-on, also I have installed the TWRP. As i said, I don't know what went wrong but now my phone gets stuck in the white bootscreen with te red text: "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action." And also, when i want to reboot from TWRP, the message comes up: "No OS installed, are you sure?".
Anyone who can help me? I want my phone back.
Cheers!

Hi,
First of all:
Important is that you choose the right Rom Version for your device!!! There are locked and unlocked versions
Your version must be the Unlocked/Developer Version (European Version)
VERY IMPORTANT:
To install Android 7 Nougat you must have installed the latest Marshmallow Version 3.35.617.31 -> To find here under http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html -> choose under Unlocked/Developer this: HTC One M9 3.35.617.31
To get your device going again with Android 6 Marshmallow do the following:
no, you are not stuck, you just erased your OS and that`s why you wil over and over end up on the "the white bootscreen with the red text".
I assume TWRP is still on your device. If not, install the latest version from here: https://dl.twrp.me/hima/
What you have to do:
Download the custom rom of your choice if you haven`t already. (I would recommend "ViperOneM9 5.3.0" from here: http://venomroms.com/htc-one-m9/ )
Put the custom rom (as Zip file) on your external SD card
Boot your device into recovery mode.
Once booted in recovery (i assume you booted TWRP) normal procedure execution:
Hit the Install button
Hit the Select Storage button and choose SD-Card (external SD-Card) and the OK button
Hit the button right next to the Select Storage button once till you read Install Zip on this button
Find and select the OS Zip file you just put on your SD-Card
Swipe to install
You are good to go now.
If you`ve created a backup via TWRP just hit the Restore button, select Package to Restore and swipe right on the bottom

Ok thnx. Gonna try it later tonight. Still have one more question: Does it matter that my phone is s-on?
Okay, so I've tried about evreything. Got a custom ROM up and going while having twrp installed. Now can someone tell me how to go back to original factory ROM, because I'm getting a little frustrated here. Nothing seems to work or I'm not doing it alright. Still need help here.
Thnx
