Soooo....Noob right here :]
I did a really stupid thing, I tried rooting my HTC One M8. I followed the steps, and it worked fine until I flashed and rebooted. After that, the phone was stuck at boot logo, so I decided to just factory reset it, but somehow, after doing that through TWRP, it reboots > went through logo white screen > then stuck at a black screen. I waited for about 20 mins but no luck. What should I do now?

What steps?
There are a few different ways to go about rooting, plus if you don't tell us what TWRP version, stock Android version, SuperSU version, etc. we have no way of knowing what you did, much less how to help you.

Why? Did you read somewhere that this was the proper thing to do for the specific situation? Or did someone tell you? If no to both, don't make up your own solutions or try to guess how to fix things. Its a good way to make matters worse than they already are.
There is no reason to think that a factory reset would fix the issue. There is a common misconception of what "factory reset" actually does. All it does is wipe user data, nothing else. It doesn't replace the ROM, or anything like that.
I'm not sure what Android version my phone is right now (I do not know how to check), the TWRP is 2.8.7.0 for M8, the SuperSU just came with the TWRP, so I just followed the TWPR and got the installer, after that, I downloaded the Root pack or sth like that, but it wasn't automatically rebooting into root mode, so I downloaded the pack and then manually reboot it, after that, it froze on boot logo
I read the factory reset thing on a forum too. Besides wiping cache and data, I wiped the system as well, so there is currently no OS right now, and then planned to download the ROM onto an ext SD card then install it through TWRP. But right now, I still haven't find the proper stock ROM in zip file.
Thanks for your reply, I hope this information helps

No offense, but this sounds WAY out of your league., especially if you don't know how to check your Android version. It's always best to read directions thoroughly first and ask for help before actually attempting to start modifying your device.
You could always try restoring to stock using the specific RUU for your device. I had to do that recently myself in order to get S-OFF.

Do you remember if it was on KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow?
You unlocked the bootloader by yourself? Is it currently unlocked?
Connect phone to computer, reboot the phone to bootloader, and select FASTBOOT (if not already highlighted in red) using the vol and power keys. Then open a command prompt on the computer and type command: fastboot getvar all
Post the getvar output (delete IMEI and serial numbers before posting).
The output will help tell us the Android version, as well as other critical info to get your sorted out.

Depending on what Android build you are trying to root, the built-in root on TWRP won't work. Which is why we need to know the Android version.

Deleting the OS is usually not a good idea; and in your situation not a legitimate solution. Even if you were going to flash a new ROM, that process wipes system partition anyway, so no need to do it manually. And wiping the OS before finding the right ROM to flash was also not a great idea.
It might not have made a difference in your case (since you couldn't boot to OS even before you wiped it). But wiping system shouldn't be done unless you really have a good reason to do it, and you understand what the result will be.
I can't count how many posts I've read (and helped) that stated along the lines of "I wiped system and now my phone won't start, please help".
Hmm, thanks for that link, my Android is 5. Lollipop, I just get so confused with all the numbers on bootloader...How do you get S-OFF though? I've been trying to do that, but found no answer.

What websites are you going to, and why? Everything you need to know about rooting can be found here.
Download this onto your PC. It's an RUU for your model and firmware version. Also, it's a direct download link, so don't click it on your phone.
After the download is finished, hook your phone up to your PC. Get into fastboot, and enter fastboot oem lock. This will lock your bootloader, which you will need to do since you are S-On.
After that, double click on the download and follow the prompts.
This will get you back to your stock state. Unlock your bootloader again via htcdev.com, use fastboot to flash TWRP2.8.7.0, then use your new recovery to flash the latest SuperSU update.zip, or simply flash a rooted ROM with that same recovery.
That's it. Fixed phone and rooted.

Thanks for your answer. If you don't mind me asking, but what is the latest stable SuperSU for my version? Is it 2.65?
Edit: After I tried to run the ROM Update .exe, it ended up with an error: ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR, although I already connected my phone and it is currently stuck on boot screen as always.

As you are still on Lollipop, any SuperSU version 2.44 or up should be find. I think 2.46 is the latest version still labelled as STABLE.
If you were updated to Marshmallow, you would need 2.62 or higher. Those are labelled as BETA, but folks have been using them with no issues, in my understanding.

On boot screen, in fastboot mode (with fastboot highlighted in red)?
You were able to do fastboot getvar all, so I assume "yes" to the that question. So in that case, the RUU can be very finicky. Try re-installing HTC Sync, different USB port, different cable.
You might even need to try another PC. Win7 and USB 2.0 (USB 3.0 is known to cause issues) are your best bet to get the RUU to work.

Thanks a lot, I changed the port and it runs fine. The ROM is being updated right now. It says it will take 10 mins, but it has been 40 minutes and still 0/6. I'm using win10 btw. I have no win7 around.

You have connection issue .. I'm on Win 10 64-bit and no problem when running RUU.
You need to use USB2.0
Latest HTC USB driver installed - Install HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
it will install the needed drivers then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager but leave the drivers.
And I always see many people with USB connection and unable to run RUU ... that's why we have nandroid backup to restore to stock.

after that if you want to root your device flash the latest twrp then flash the latest supersu.zip ( 2.78 SR1 )

To be clear, factory reset doesn't revert anything back to stock, aside from (all it does is) wiping user data.

The error message "cannot load" means the file isn't in the right place. You need to put the unlock bin file in the same folder which contains fastboot.exe (and where you are executing the command from).

Hi,
Apologies in advance because I'm sure this is a very noob problem, but I was trying to update my M8 to lollipop and ended up messing it up somewhere. It was rooted before, S-Off, unlocked, using Android HD 4.4.4.
When I try to flash the Android HD Lollipop rom in TWRP from internal or external sdcard, or from USB OTG, the installer starts and looks successful until it gets to "Creating toolbox symlinks". After that it says "symlink: some symlinks failed"
When it finishes, it goes back into recovery and TWRP says "Successful"
When I go to reboot TWRP says it isn't rooted and asks if I'd like to root. Whether I say "yes" or "no" it reboots to a white HTC screen with a little lock at the bottom. The lock wasn't there when I started. After a few seconds the screen turns off then back on, then it goes into recovery.
If I try to install the update-supersu from internal or external card, or from USB OTG, in TWRP it says "success" and no errors, but then when I go to reboot it, it says "does not appear to be rooted" and asks if I'd like to root it. Whether I say yes or no it reboots, freezes, then boots into recovery and I start over.
In boot where it used to say "tampered" it now says "modified", and under that "unlocked", "s-off", a bunch of numbers that look important, but nothing in "OS-".
I can get into recovery and fastboot or hboot just fine. I have ADB, fastboot, and I think all the drivers I need on my laptop, and both recognize my phone when it's plugged in and I type "adb devices". I've tried like 10 different guides to push and flash and honestly too many commands to remember, but nothing that can get it to boot into a working rom.
To be honest, every single time I've tried to root something, I've broken something, but usually if I keep looking I can find the same problem and someone who's fixed it and figure it out, but I've been at it nearly 20 hours straight now and I just can't see what I'm missing (besides OS Dx)
If anyone knows what I've done and how to undo it, I'd be grateful for any advice.
Thanks,
Josh
*** I think I got the wrong firmware, but not sure how to find the right one without downloading them reandomly and checking the android-info***
Boot to bootloader/fastboot then run command fastboot getvar all
Post here the result (delete serial no. & imei no.)
Will see what we can do later
Your problem most probably is the old version of TWRP (2.7.0.2) that you use.
You should try 2.8.3.0 if you have a KitKat firmware and 2.8.5.0 if it is a Lollipop firmware.

So you have a AT&T device.
What actually you want to do because there is no lollipop update for AT&T yet.
Since your device is S-Off, you can change
CID : CWS__001 to 11111111
MID : 0P6B12000 to 0P6B10000
then flash a EU firmware.
Or you take any unsigned EU firmware.zip, open it with 7-zip and extract out the android-info.txt and edit this android-info.txt to include your CID and MID (use notepad++ for this), drag the modded android-info.txt into the unsigned firmware.zip
Flash this modded firmware, should work too.
And important thing about TWRP : 2.8.3.0 if you have a KitKat firmware and 2.8.5.0 if it is a Lollipop firmware
Then you can install any of the lollipop Sense base custom ROM.
Thanks. I'll chug some coffee and give it a try.
Ok, I changed my CID and MID without too much trouble, but about "TWRP : 2.8.3.0 if you have a KitKat firmware and 2.8.5.0 if it is a Lollipop firmware", how can I tell which I have?
Oh, I used the ADB method if that matters.
After change of CID/MID, you need to flash firmware.zip in RUU mode not ADB.
Your current firmware is KitKat .. if you stick to it, you need 2.8.3.0
After you flash a 4.xx.xxx.x firmware - you need 2.8.5.0
Check this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
Thanks for putting up with all the questions.
I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. I need to update the firmware to a 4x one, then twrp 2.8.5.0, then root and rom? I'm reading the guide you linked, but I'm not sure which firmware to use, for example it lists 5xxBase, then underneath it lists firmwares starting with 4xx.
Or does it not matter?
1. Update firmware, flash the widely use - 4.16.401.10
2. Flash TWRP 2.8.5.0
3. Install ROM
No need manual root because custom ROM is prerooted.
I got to go now .. be back in next 4 hrs

TYSM!! That's what I was looking for
Ok, I updated the firmware and TWRP (I think), but when I try to do anything like flash a rom all the partitions come up as unmountable before the installer starts. I know I read something similar before so I'll try to find that.

You don't seems be using the updated TWRP 2.8.5.0
Your fastboot shows that you may use the old 2.7.0.2
Download and install TWRP 2.8.5.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m8.img
Then boot to recovery - select wipe - advance - format data - yes
Go to reboot menu - select recovery (to reboot back to recovery
Select "Mount" menu - enable MTP
Transfer the ROM zip to either Internal Storage or MicroSD (if you have one)
Then try to install the ROM.zip
that's so weird...from within twrp the little info bar thing at the top says v2.8.5.0
Ill install again
Yeah .. unless you remove the (bootloader) version-main: info, TWRP 2.8.5.0 should not remove that after you flash the firmware.
Anyway ... try the other steps that I mentioned.

After Update bootloop ... please help!
Hello everyone!
So im trying to fix this HTC One M8 since yesterday. My gf tried to install the latest update, after she did the phone went into bootloop.
It was rooted, TWRP recovery installed.
Now i tried yesterday to get i back to stock, but strangely nothing seems to work. I downloaded a couple of ruu ZIP files, none of them worked. Only thing worked was the cyanogenmod but well... she wants her phone back to stock
Every Stock-image i could find was for 4.16.401.10, but the phone says its 4.16.401.13.
Please help me! What exactly must i do in order to get i back to stock?

EDIT
strange thing is, even with android SDK and USB drivers my laptop wont execute an RUU.exe... it fails due to not finding the device even though its connected to the laptop and i can acess the phones memory

So im trying to fix this HTC One M8 since yesterday. My gf tried to install the latest update, after she did the phone went into bootloop.
It was rooted, TWRP recovery installed.

In addition to stock 4.16.401.13 ROM, you will also need stock recovery. Since TWRP is on the phone, OTA will cause the phone to boot over and over looking for stock recovery (and not finding it).

Now i tried yesterday to get i back to stock, but strangely nothing seems to work. I downloaded a couple of ruu ZIP files, none of them worked.

Unless the RUU zip is 4.16.401.13, its going to fail CID or version checks.

Every Stock-image i could find was for 4.16.401.10, but the phone says its 4.16.401.13.

You can get .13 stock nandroid and recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Note this is a nandroid, and not a flashable ROM zip. So restore according to the instruction given in the same thread.

Did you try with the phone in fastboot mode?
Any response if you type the command: fastboot devices
Response should be the phone's serial number if you have fastboot connectivity.
What Windows version?
Also, as previously stated, unless the RUU is 4.16.401.13, it will fail anyway.
I got it! Thanks a lot! Seems really like I was too stupid to find the thread u posted

Its actually a bit hard to find, as its in Q&A. Deserves to be made sticky.
HTC One M8
Unlocked and S-off
From UK so with international network
Cyanogenmod 11 i think
Clockwork recovery
Soooo i bought the M8 secondhand with Cyanogenmod installed, however, i couldnt do any updates due to error status 7. i tried the normal fix (delete code which checked authorisation of phone) but to no avail. since then the error came back and i managed to get a different error on reboot: "root access possibly lost. fix?". I've cleared cache(s) and done a factory reset. No matter what i pressed it would be in a boot loop. I can still get to bootloader and recovery. then i tried to change the recovery to TWRP however when i try and fastboot, my device is not recognised by my laptop so i cannot add the ADB driver to the device.
sorry for sounding very vague / idiotic, i have no idea what i have done and no idea what i am doing to try and fix it. that means sadly i will need to be spoonfed the fix. if you need any more details or pictures of the problem let me know
thanks in advance

Are you trying to update to CM12.1? If so, the error is for a reason, and not to be bypassed in the way you describe.
If you are on an hboot older than 3.19, I don't think it will work with CM12 and 12.1. You'll need to update hboot (and rest of firmware, preferably) to proceed.
Also, CWM may be too old for CM12 as well.

Not sure what you mean here. Are you trying to install HTC Sync (and corresponding driver) by connecting the phone?
You can just do an XDA search for "simple adb" and you will find a couple really easy adb/fastboot installers.
how do i see what hboot i am on? and how would i update it?
i've installed HTC Sync but it doesn't recognise my phone being connected (so i cant view any files on the phone) and i've installed a simple ADB/fastboot but i can't see the driver option when trying to add it to my phone on Device manager. i have got to the stage whereby i have the ADB/fastboot folder and have the TWRP file in the same folder, just i cant get any further.
where would i begin getting to cyanogenmod 12.1, or would it be easier to revert back to a basic android os?
i know this is probably incredibly frustrating for you as i am a complete novice, but i greatly appreciate your help
i would post pictures to help but i cant as im a new member, i will when i can

This in itself does not mean the phone is not connecting by fastboot. And fastboot is the important thing here, so we can update TWRP, etc.
Try rebooting into fastboot mode, and try the command and see if your phone's ID is returned: fastboot devices
If you don't get the phone's ID and just "waiting for device" you do indeed have some type of USB connectivity problem.

Boot into bootloader, andyour hboot number is listed near the top of the screen.
Since you are s-off, its fairly easy to update the firmware (and I would suggest to update all the firmware, not just hboot) by flashing the proper firmware.zip. But let's determine whether that is even the problem, before we worry about flashing firmwares.
hboot is: 3.16.0
also my phone is detected by my laptop so all is well there
i have installed a simple 15 second ADB file but am unsure how to proceed from here
josborn42 said:
hboot is: 3.16.0

Your firmware is very old, so will need to be updated to run CM12.1. Also, newer versions of TWRP will not run with your old hboot.
Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output, but delete your IMEI and serial numbers (as these are private info). Need more details on the phone (particularly CID) in order to know how to proceed.

I'm going to suggest WWE/International firmware. The updates are available way before O2 updates.
Download this firmware (it also includes TWRP2.8.4.0). Rename it to firmware.zip and place it into your fastboot folder.
Next, boot into fastboot and change your CID to superCID (it won't flash with the O2 CID)
fastboot devices to make sure you are connected (a bunch of letters and numbers/your serial# means you are)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (a black screen with the HTC logo means you are in RUU mode)
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones) You are now superCID!
Now flash the firmware
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
If you get "error 90 hboot pre-update" (and you probably will with how old your current firmware is) run the same command again and the firmware will flash properly. The first run only updated your hboot.
The process will stop at 75% to 90%. That's normal and gives you a chance to check your console output. The last few percentage is the reboot.
The bar will fill to 100% after you enter fastboot reboot-bootloader
That's it. Good luck!
thank you both so much! so now do i just download the appropriate cyanogenmod version and flash it over?

Hello, so quite sometime ago I rooted my phone, or unrooted it. I am not sure what the term is, I dont even remember why I done this in the first place. Anyways today I wanted to just put my phone back to like it was when I got it, and in doing so I have actually broke my phone I can't get my phone to boot up anymore, I always get a message saying I have no OS installed. I am really useless with all of this so I would appreciate it if there is a patient person out there who can help me get my phone back on and back to how it was when I recieved it. I am sure I need to add more information but I dont know what so please tell me what you guys need to know and I will try and provide the answers.
This should be the first rule when asking for help.
Post fastboot getvar all result (delete serial & imei no.)
Without this info, no one will be able to offer any help

Where do I find this?
Do you have fastboot & adb on your PC ? You should have one, if not how can you install a custom recovery and root your device before ?
If you're not sure .. install this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Put your device in bootloader mode and connect to PC
Open a command prompt and type fasboot getvar all then "enter"
Copy the outcome and paste here

I think thats what you want right?.
Yes .. that's the one.
You have two options :
Option 1:
Install new stock ROM with a RUU - Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555499
you need to relock bootloader - run command fastboot oem lock
run RUU (right click the RUU and select run as administrator)
you need to use USB2.0 on your PC
RUU will wipe everything on your device including your files on internal storage
Option 2:
Restore a non-rooted TWRP backup 4.20.206.1
No need to relock bootloader
No internal storage wipes
Read how-to and all the needed files are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Option one just stays on updating 0/6 sending and nothing happens. Option 2 doesnt make sense to me, I really have no idea what most of it means.
Ok so this morning I tried option one again. It went through the first 6 stages fine, then it got stuck on the next set of stages at 1/7. When I restart my phone into the recovery screen type thing I have in red letters OS - (4.20.206.1) but I am still unable to start my phone up. I have disabled firewalls and also using USB2.0 when trying to do this process. Maybe this one that has been linked is not the right one for me? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?. I would really love to get my phone back working so all help is really appreciated.

You have USB/Device connection problem. First it was 0/6 and now 1/7 ...
Which windows version that you use ? try with a Win7 PC .. I don't know many people cannot run RUU on windows higher version that Win7. I don't have problem on any windows version including my current Win 10.
What do you don't understand about option 2 ? It's very straight forward.
Install latest TWRP 2.8.6.0 or TWRP 2.8.7.0 (you need to reunlock bootloader because you relocked it for option 1)
Extract and copy the backup folder to TWRP backup on your device
Restore backup .. done
Or
Just install any of Sense based ROM that available in Development thread to get your device up & running ... then you can start that option 1 & 2 again
But seeing you mentioned OS - 4.20.206.1 in red, you need to get option 1 done because the firmware installation was incomplete

Yes maybe I do but I am not sure why, maybe I need to look into seeing if my motherboard needs an update or if any windows updates are needed. I am on Windows 7 but like I said, it goes through the first 6 steps then as it boots the bootloader up again I hear the sound that my computer makes when plugging in a USB cable. However even if I leave it, it will not go past 1/7. But if I take the cable out it reconises I have done that so that makes me wonder if it is a USB problem?.
I dont understand option 2 because I dont know anything about all of this, I shouldnt have done it in the first place and I dont even remember why I did. I also must have deleted my backups as I cant find them. The part I was confused at, was which TWRP to get, then how to get it on my phone as my computer does not reconise my phone in the state it is in so I cant just go into the phone and place it. I also dont have an SD card with my phone either.
I will try updating my PC and try and get option 1 working and report back. Thank you for helping by the way, I really appreciate your patience with me.
Try also to install latest HTC USB driver.
Download HTC Sync Manager and install. Then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager but leave the HTC Driver installed.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
Is there a way to wipe this OS version and try this whole thing again? I have found my 2.0 USB ports, I have tried a different cable and it still gets hung up. Only now it doesnt move past the 0/6 whereas it used to go through all of them then into the 1/7 and get stuck on this part. I also can try a different PC if need be.

That is what I would suggest.
Also, does your PC have USB 3.0 on the ports? This has been known to cause problems with the RUU.
Ok so I have done the steps suggested now, when I uninstalled the HTC Sync Manager it let the process complete. It is now on a screen which says Android is upgrading, optimizing app 17-261. Is that my phone fixed? Or is there more I need to do now that it actually has turned on?.

Looks that way. It should boot into OS after its done optimizing all the apps, which is normally pretty slow (with that many, it will take 10 or more) since Android moved from Dalvik to ART.
Well I would like to say a massive thank you for the help I really appreciate the patience and help. So thank you again. I would have been lost without you's.

The only hope is if i find a RUU for CID O2_001

Hello,
In this thread you will find the firmware for your phone. It looks like you know the process of installing your firmware, so if I were you I'd down load the proper firmware and try the whole process all over again.

Hi!
I didn't find because it is to new. It's an O2 UK, android 6 version, cid O2_001.
I did something else, i flashed TWRP recovery and then i flash latest InsertCoin rom, and now the phone it is working again.
Thank you!
I have a rooted HTC with TWRP and stock ROM. It was working fine but the it reset itself when using Google Maps and then got stuck on the boot screen. After about an hour I checked it and it was really hot so I tried to do a factory reset via TWRP but still had the same problem. I then tried to wipe everything (except SD card) and restore a backup via TWRP but still having exactly the same problem. I know the backup works because I've restored it before. I was thinking to try upgrading the ROM to Nougat and see if that makes a difference but I have a feeling there is some other issue?
Try clean flashing any rom and see if it still happens.

Thanks, I tried flashing the Nougat update by downloading RR-N-v5.8.5-20170926-m8-Final.zip, flashing the boot.img file from it and then trying to install it from TWRP. Unfortunately the install failed.. Do I need S-Off to flash roms as I currently have S-On? Although it said it failed it does actually boot up into Nougat although there are various problems with it, it says there's no sim card for a start so I still can't actually use the phone. Any ideas?
No, you don't need s-off to flash roms. Also there's no need to flash the boot.img separately.
Update your twrp if you are using an older version and then try flashing again, also post fastboot getvar all without your imei and serialno.

https://dl.twrp.me/m8/ Get the 3.2.1.0 twrp, install it through fastboot, then try clean flashing the rom and say if it works.

Good work! Updating TWRP and then restoring the original backup worked. I may have another go at updating the OS to 7 or 8 later but I need to use my phone in the meantime so it will have to wait for now. Thanks again!

Glad you got it worked out.
Good rule of thumb: always use updated methods and files, including updated version TWRP. The version you had installed was from 2014.
