[Q] Something Wrong with Custom ROM installation

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One X. I have used the ClockworkMod recovery.
I had CyanogenMod 10.2 installed and it ran perfectly fine.
Later on, I downloaded the 'cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-endeavoru.zip' file to install the the CM 11.2
But it seems something terribly has gone wrong.
This error message was shown during installing CM 11.2
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and it got stuck on this screen after rebooting
Later on I tried flashing the 'boot.img' of CM 10.2 to get back to that ROM, but I encountered this error.
But when I tried installing the 'cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip', it was a success, but I am still stuck at the same position.
Please help me restoring the phone back, I dont care if I have to revert back to HTC's Original ROM, as long as the phone is back working.
I am novice at this thing, so please bear with me if I ask some stupid questions.

First of all if you want to install CM11 you must to use latest CWM from CM11 thread or TWRP2.7 or Philz latest. And now mount sd card copy your sense rom to the card install it, flash the boot img. and you are good to go. After this read again thread for CM11 and how to install and try agin but be shure you read the thread

use the recovery that thommy put in the first page of the cm11 post (or the philz last recovery) it seems that the cmw that you have doesen't support kitkat

[Q] TWRP Update path for One M8

Hello everyone and have a Merry Christmas,
I'm trying to update my TWRP recovery because I want to go 100% stock. I'm still running TWRP 2.7.0.2. The most recent version of TWRP is 2.8.3.0.
I downloaded the TWRP manager app from the Play store and easily selected the last available version of the recovery to install.
After downloading the .img file, I get a pop up that looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The pop up says: "Be sure that the listed path is correct for your device. An uncorrect check may result in bricking your device. You can't flash a recovery directly on Android on some devices. If you can't flash through Android, please choose a different method".
It looks like a "routine" alert, but nonetheless it sounds very alarming. How can I say if the listed path is the correct one for my device (HTC One M8 unbranded GSM international version)?
Thank you for helping.

why update twrp ? twrp is not stock ! and you can also fastboot flash it. oldskool way

Because the procedure to go stock requires some flashing and it was adviced to have the latest version running.
I'm not such an expert, I'm more the type who tries to read as much as possible before trying anything, and upgrading TWRP was a sort of "pre-step".
Also I'm not very keen to use fastboot: I got that it is great, but it is not very straightfoward for beginners.
The tool from the Play store seemed to do the job pretty good and easily.

What if I flash a custom recovery over a custom recovery? Is it possible to simply flash it and overwrite an already existing custom recovery?

there is no other way, the recovery will always overwrite the old one. its impossible to run 2 recoveries

Getting 5.x Lollipop Update on Rooted HTC ON M8 International

Hi all
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot find any information on this for the life of me and it's driving me mad.
I have a notification stating that my 5.0 OTA update is ready but I can't install it due to the Custom Recovery on my device.
I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376) and flashed the 'stock' (not actually Stock - every link it CWM or TWRP) recovery but it didn't work and the update still fails. I think I read somewhere that something is different about this particular update.. that you need to have an 'untouched'/never rooted device?
Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeease can someone steer me in the right direction so I can get this update sorted?
Thanks in advance.

have you made any system modifications to your current rom?
Also need CID and firmware version number
ALSO needs to be in Q&A (asked the mods to move)

Thanks for that.

ok so you have clean 3.29.401.9 stock rom installed, if not restore the nand available in my thread via TWRP. (may be best to do this as a fresh start)
Next install the 3.28.401.9 stock recovery.img from the first post in my thread.
hoprfully then u should be able to tale OTA automatically

every link is CWM or TWRP are stock Nandroid backup, not recovery.img
Look under Stock Recovery Images for the stock recovery

Thanks for your help, that seems to have done it.
The first time I didn't pay enough attention to my correct Software number (in my case 3.28.401.9). When I matched up my CID (HTC_001) I just picked a random link on that list which is why it didn't work.
Got it going now and back on custom recovery so thanks again for your assistance

[Q] Request, hot to backup android 6 Marshmallow

I'm now receiving the update to Android 6
My Device M8 Dual Sim - S-ON
after the update to finish
i want to take copy or (Backup) for the Stock ROM
to use it in emergency case
how can i do it
thanks for help​

The same way you always could. Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP (AFTER the OTA, cause otherwise it cannot be installed) and then backup system with untouched system image.
No more spoon feeding than done above, as there are threads, how tos and FAQs all over this forum. Just use the forum search and you will find out how it works
Send by the swarm intelligence of my coffee machine (AKA HTC One M9).

thank you HTCNerdYoda for reply

Search the nandroid/stock recovery collections, or dual SIM M8 specific posts, to see if anyone posted the recovery you need.
Or extract it from the corresponding OTA file.
Or, if you haven't installed TWRP yet, you may be able to boot TWRP remotely by fastboot (before flashing it to the phone). Then once booted in TWRP, you can backup the stock recovery.

where can i find OTA File after download and before install it​

any one know the location of OTA file after download finish to take copy of it before install ​

i have this error when i update my phone over OTA to android 6

First step of what? Are following a guide, like this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Anyway, it's not bricked (at least, probably not). It just won't boot. Did something happen to the phone that caused this condition?

You want the stock TWRP backup 6.12.111.4 from the above linked collection. It's the number on your getvar output "version main" as well as the OS number on the bootloader screen of the phone.

Hey Man , yeah it's not bricked it just got ****ed up during an update .
yes i followed the tutorial in the link u have attached and the ROM u suggested didn't work for me :/

On the bootloader screen, is the OS number in red font, or anything in parenthesis?
You might try to flash the firmware. But to do this, you will need to relock the bootloader, flash the firmware, then unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP, and the stock TWRP backup 6.12.111.4
File for 6.12.111.4 firmware is on the following post (it's Post #5 of the same thread as before), with instructions on how to flash are at the end of the post.

No i don't think so ,

no there's no red number or parentheses as u can check here https://ibb.co/ivpY6R

Didn't work, meaning what? Stuck with no boot on HTC logo screen, or something else?
