Hello just gone back to HTC after a slight foray with Samsung.
Just unlocked my bootloader okay and installed an older version of Twerp for my M8.
Having problems with the swipe feature as it is not working and wont swipe.
I have tried unsuccessfully to flash the 3.0 version and keep on getting failed to load image error.
I have also tried to use the TWRP manager application but it says I need to have root for this app'?
I am at a loss as to what to try any help much appreciated, thank you
What device that you have ? GSM, Sprint or Verizon.
Never use 2.7
Post the OS- no & hboot no. that you see on bootloader
Or the best is to post fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.

I try to flash this recovery version and I get a cannot load 'recovery image'?
This has been the error that I have been getting when I try to flash a different recovery?
I've tried the one click recovery installer which goes through the process and says that it has been a success but it's still 2.7.1.0?
Most probably your problem is Windows extension is hidden.
So when you write recovery.img it is actually recovery.img.img
Try with recovery only without .img extension or don't hide Windows extension so you can clearly see recovery.img not recovery.img.img
and if possible, avoid using any toolkit.
You just need adb/fastboot properly installed and HTC USB drivers.

The recovery has started playing up and won't install most zips that it was before. Any ideas?
I'm running the latest Twrp. 2.7.0.2
It won't install things like
Viper themes
Some roms
Under themes and apps there is sense keyboards
Viperfx
All these I have successfully installed before. It either says failed or when I swiped to install zip the recovery just reboots

Sorry I have recently lost my telepathic abilities after an interaction with a hexenbiest ... so if you dont mind:
What TWRP version do you have?
Your fastboot getvar all (remove IMEI)
What files you have tried to flash? Exact file name?
What is the exact error?

Put the splash RUU in and it still denies ROMS, especially stock.
Doing this 'cause SIM no work.
I have an htc one m8 ATT phone I want to install the ViperOneM8 5.02 rom on which says I need to update the firmware to a marshmellow firmware I think.
Or the latest.
While I have found some documentation how to do this on the net, I am not sure where I obtain these files.
The firmware.zip I believe it is
Help on this would be appreciated
Right now I am using hboot 3.16 and twrp 2.7
I found this link
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32780
and grabbed the 4.16.1540.8.zip but want to make sure I am grabbing the correct and latest version. Because I don't want to brick my phone
Post your fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
You may need a different firmware if it's AT&T & S-On and also don't use that outdated 2.7 TWRP.

For some devices, TWRP 2.7 is recommended due to how older boot loaders may not take it well.
I like TWRP. When its workable, its array of tools is superior to CWM. But after I tried 2.8.x, I decided CWM or TWRP at or below 2.7.0.2 is safer and less crash prone.
When I attempted to boot to recovery it would boot loop. Please be mindful of boot signing. If you so slightly make your OEM software notice things a fuse will make your phone implode.

Good point. For some odd reason CM pairs ROMs and Recoveries. If you check the Dev Auto update option would that be unnecessary.
It's been an itching question I actually had...
Sent from my HTC M8 GPE
? Mass Transit Honchkrow ?
I originally had twrp 2.8 on and tried to install the latest. But it was freezing because I think I need a newer version of hboot. which I have 3.16 on it.
I then downgraded to 2.7 to get it working. I installed ViperOnem8 Rom not reading the website successfully. but have issues with wifi, and 2 minute boot times.
"The 5.0.x ROM is based on HTC’s latest M8 Sense 7 Android 6.0.x base and requires you to update your firmware to at least the 6.0.x (Marshmallow) version! If you don’t you will run into some issues such as Wi-Fi not working or No Boot, etc.
We cannot install the firmware for you during ROM installation so you will need to take the steps to update the firmware on your own."
So I need to update my firmware. I have an ATT S-ON phone. But I have no clue where to get the firmware from, and make sure it is the right one and recent.
I need to update my firmware in order for this rom and a newer version of twrp to work correctly
ok, so
I upgraded to 3.11.1700.5 firmware I found. and that was successful.
Then I upgraded my twrp to twrp-3.0.2-0-m8 and that was successful
Now I am trying to install either Revolution Rom, or ViperOnem8 and both have the same problem. After install they keep booting into twrp and won't load.
I tried Cynamod and that installed and booted fine.
I believe both Revolution and Viper use the Aroma installer. Anyone know what is going on with these and a fix to stop it from booting into twrp?
Need advice

Wrong firmware. You installed an old version of GPE firmware.
You can't install Sense ROM like Revolution and Viper on GPE firmware.
I asked you to post fastboot getvar all to help you but it seems that you made it harder now because you installed a wrong firmware. If it is S-Off, then it is easy to fix.

First - remove all serial & imei no. from your above post.
As I said, it is not easy to fix this with S-On device. What you can try is to install the latest AT&T 6.20.502.5 firmware first then run 6.20.502.5 RUU

No .. I don't say that ... read again ...
Flash firmware.zip first then RUU ...
or install ROM first, don't reboot the system, but reboot to bootloader, relock bootloader then flash firmware.zip
As you already flashed a wrong firmware, as I said this may work and may not work but the only way that you can try to fix the wrong firmware installed.

ok .. now that I understand what you are saying. because you had the RUU .exe and also were explaining how to update the firmware at the same time while the firmware was burried a couple of levels of posts, I didn't understand what you were saying.
so it looks like the firmware updated successfully

I unlocked the firmware through the htc website with the Unlock_code.bin
because fastbook oem unlock didn't work.
had to reinstall twrp and that worked after reinstall. although lots of mounting file system errors. with /Data I don't know if that's normal.
seems to be fixed after formatting
Now I will try installing a rom

Now you got it.
And yes, after changing from GPE to Sense GSM (AT&T) firmware, you need to reinstall TWRP (the latest 3.0.2-0) and you MUST format data partition, in TWRP - select WIPE, Format Data - yes ... because GPE & Sense data partition is of different size.
Please where can i get compatible firmware for my htc one m8s with S.O 1.12.1405.6 . I have been on this over 3 weeks now but all no avail.
Guys i hope i am not breaking any rules or anything by posting this. i have an m8 which i rooted and managed to soft-brick. i managed to fix it, but i was unsure if flashing the htc rom was a good idea, so i went from 4.4.3(stock) to a custom 6.0 rom. but the wifi wont turn on. i tried following instructions from other threads in this forum but they did not work. i even flashed another rom and re-flashed my current one but no luck. any help would be appreciated.
Note: i am s-on with an unlocked bootloader
Your firmware is too low to run custom 6.0 ROM. You need to update firmware first.
Post here fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no. We'll see what you need.

ii am using a mac. is the command line the same as for windows?
AFAIK it's the same command lines except that you may have to write ./fastboot for fastboot command and ./adb for adb command
Read this for adb/fastboot for Mac if you don't have one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390995
i tried the command. it doesn't show any errors, but nothing shows up in return.
Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode then connect to your Mac
run command : ./fastboot devices
see whether it returns your serial no. If no, you have connection issue.
I can't help much as I don't have a Mac. If you can get a PC, it's easier for me to help.
Or you can wait until someone familiar with Mac help you.
oh. tnx. ill try and get the pc. will windows xp be too old?

Restore 2.22.709.3 backup (post #2)
Install 2.22.709.3 stock recovery (post #4)
Reboot and do multiple OTA up to the latest.
It's going to be a lot of OTA as you already missed a lot of them :
2.22.709.3 -> 3.28.709.6 -> 4.16.709.9 -> 4.24.709.2 -> 4.24.709.3 -> 6.20.709.2
thanks a lot for the help
i just flashed the rom and my phone wont connect to the power. what do i do?
nevermind thanks bro. it was 4.4.3 . after 4.4.4 its charging again
Hi guys,
I have tried what seems like 10+ ROMS, I have flashed them using TWRP and the closest I have gotten to 6.0 was being stuck on the new google logo screen.
Currently I am running Cyanogenmod cm-12.1-2015090.
my getvar all is as follows,
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.24.21331147A1.09G

I would be really grateful if someone could please point me in the right direction.
I am now open to the idea of taking it back to stock, except I'm not sure how to do that either

You need to update your firmware, and a ROM won't do that for you.
Download this firmware and place it into your fastboot folder. Then hook up your phone to your PC, and enter these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip M8_6.12.1540.4_DevEd_NoWipe_TWRP3001.zip
The flash will halt at 75% to 90%. That's normal and gives you a chance to check the console output to make sure that it's safe to reboot. With most errors it is. If you get error 90, re-run the zip with the same "fastboot flash zip" command as above. Same goes for error 152.
After you've checked your console, enter fastboot reboot-bootloader to complete the firmware flash

Downloading it right now to try,
Once I update the firmware, is there a specific ROM that is tailored to my phone?
Also is my phone considered "Developer Edition"?
Thank you so much for the reply, I have spent hours on this and it seems I may be nearing the end.

Yes, your MID and firmware are DevEd.
As far as ROMs go, anything in the general M8 development forum (not in the Sprint or Verizon forums) should work for you

Thanks for all your advice, unfortunately no other ROM aside from Cyanogenmod will work.
I have updated the firmware and tried the HD ROM, Skydragon ROM, GPE ROM.. they all say installed but none will boot.
Edit: I had made a stock recovery from a long time ago and when I recover and try to do the OTA update the phone restarts and takes me to TWRP Recovery.
So i accidentally wiped the phone including the internal storage and the OS instead of factory resetting (wasn't paying attention) and tried to re install the android marshmallow OS onto the phone which didn't work..
i managed to flash the twrp by following another forum where someone had the same problem, using the adb process to flash the bootloader etc but now i can't access the recovery at all, it just says entering recovery and remains idle until i get bored of waiting and power off.
Can anyone help me?
i can provide whatever information is necessary for you to help, just need my phone revitalised as i desperately need it for my new job that i should hopefully be starting at the end of the week.
thanks in advance!

you post your issue in the wrong forum
your device is HTC One m7
this forum is for HTC One m8
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
this is for your device ask there some one will guide you
I have quite the same problem (and i have One M8). Can't enter TWRP recovery, bootloop - just shows an endless loading, i can start the phone without that by pushing pwr button/VOL+/VOL- at the same time (fastboot mode - ok). I want to get the stock back, but it's impossible without entering TWRP. Can someone help me please? It seems that i do not understand this thing anymore.

Fastboot erase cache, then flash TWRP again in fastboot. Try TWRP 2.8.1.0, which is an older version (more compatible with your old firmware). Then see if you can boot into recovery.
Or flash signed firmware, to update firmware (yours is ancient) then flash TWRP 2.8.7 and restore a newer stock backup (corresponding to the firmware flashed).

Thanks a lot. I've tried the first solution and at least TWRP is now working. I've tried the same thing, but it seems, that it was a wrong version of TWRP
Many apologies, turns out i misread the model and its actually the M7 i have. But im glad that this post is helping others with my original problem and thanks to other members who contributed to helping!
