You are telling that you are stuck at boot logo so how you knew that your device got wiped ?
2nd thing we should not make OTA update after rooting and installing Custom recovery.
Looks like you make a mess while describing the problem can you be quite detailed on the problem.
Is wiped your problem ? or stuck at boot logo ? okey if wiped then what type of wipe is that Storage wiped or fully OS wiped ?
Also thing i would like to let you know is while you UNLOCK bootlodder your internal storage gets wiped completely

Just go to supersu app and to it's setting check there for FULL unroot click it! Reboot your device.
Some apps and kernal may bring supersu back so before you do this make sure you remove those root apps first.

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.
Sent from my unknown using XDA Free mobile app
Please check the cid images
Sent from my unknown using XDA Free mobile app
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.

Edited my post above. I want to see the fastboot getvar all outcome first. And delete the imei and serial in the picture before you upload it here !

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.

x.xx.707.4 from the Collection of Stock backups thread? What software version are you running because I see your bootloader version is still 3.16 which is 1.54.707.x and you're trying to download 2.22.707.4 ?
If I'm wrong however and you are on 2.22.xxx.x then redownload the file and try again, if it still complains about md5 checksum, tick the box that "enforces" it in order to disable a md5 checksum.
Restore, don't flash yes...
I was on 4.4.2
Starting to download the 1.54.707.7

Yeah, I figured as much mate.
Did you try to download the 2.22.707.4 <<<Because that's the only one I see in the Collection of Stock Backup's thread that has a 707.4 on it? If so, why try and restore 2.22.707.4 when you're still on 1.54.707.x
You don't flash the backups either, you restore them through the custom recovery.
Download a ROM(Any ROM applicable to your device) then do the sideloading or push in order to flash the ROM. To get OS back onto your device. Afterwards download the correct 1.54.707.7 backup applicable for your custom recovery(Philz for Philz, TWRP if you're using TWRP). Unpack the backup in the backup directory like instructed on the 2nd post of the Collection thread and then proceed to do the restore.
You can do the OTA updates after the phone was restored and stock recovery was flashed back.

You don't flash the backups either, you restore them through the custom recovery.(So would I'd push the (Insert Rom) to the /sdcard/ and install that, and then and put the 1.54 in the backupdirectory? (Thinking to myself here))

Yes, just make sure that you unpack/unzip the backup that you downloaded and place it in the correct backup directory. The backup directories I included in my previous post. I linked to post 2 in Collection thread.
Restore - NOT factory reset. When you go into custom recovery, let's say "TWRP" you'll notice that you have the option to "Restore"

Just press on Restore, go to directory where you unpacked/unzipped backup(For TWRP of course if you used TWRP one) and then restore the backup.

extract the boot.img from the ROM.zip that you downloaded, connect phone to PC. Go to adb folder, place boot.img in adb folder, open command prompt there and flash boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You did restore stock backup yes? You shouldn't have the ROM(Viper for example) on there anymore. Just the stock android system. Flash stock recovery and then reboot it should give you only the OTA for the android system.
I Installed Viper 1.7.1 and after I booted the OS I moved the 1.54.707.7 restore I downloaded from the backups thread to /twrps/backups and went into recovery to restore from said backup. However after the restore I still have viper >.>
Okay, I was restoring from a viper backup. However, when I place my unpacked stock backup into my twrp/backups folder it does not see it in the restore option.

Okay, okay. More than likely need the serial # folder.

You need the folder with your serial number in there as well.
/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/<serialnumber for your device>/folder you have in picture with backups in it.
Else if you want a faster way just go into TWRP recovery, make a backup of just boot and it'll automatically create the folder path for you. Then you just place the unpacked folder in the "serialnumberfolder" and continue to restore.
Okay, figured out so far. Thanks for your help.:good:

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.

Black screen after HTC startup logo please help! [bricked probably]

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.

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.

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
