This is an ATT version phone I rooted this phone a couple of days ago with TWRP. However, I had to use adb to enter fastboot as it would not go to fastboot using power/volume keys. Actually, it never shows a fastboot screen, even in adb, so it may have been going into fastboot all along and I just could not see it.
So, instead of leaving well enough alone, I RUU'ed (newest ATT version from HTC site) it to try to get fastboot to work normally (it still works, I just can't see it on screen). Now, I can't get rooted again. FWIW, I did make a backup with TWRP before RUU'ed. Regardless, there is nothing on this phone I need to keep, I just want to root it before I start using it.
Any help is greatly appreciated...
Here is my unlock sequence. Note what happens if I try to flash TWRP immediately after unlock. I have to CTRL C and Reboot phone.

Still no luck, same error (see below). This worked flawless before I flashed the latest ATT RUU.
Is it possible phone is still not unlocked or would I be getting that far if it was still locked?
Question. This phone is AT&T (more details in getvar above) but at the end of the contract, AT&T sent me code to unlock the SIM. Now, the SIM I am using is on a T-Mobile MVNO (TING). Since they SIM unlocked the phone, would I be able to and would there be any advantage/risk to trying to flash the Stock RUU for HTC unlocked/developer. It is a higher software version than the ATT version I flashed (twice).

Any other ideas? I can't see bootloader screen, but it appears I can access and do all bootloader functions in adb.
I would really like to be able to eliminate locked bootloader as the issue, is there anything else I can flash or try that might let me know if bootloader is still locked. I can get results from getvar and fastboot devices.
I also have an image of the phone saved from TWRP before I flashed the RUU, but seems no way to get that image back. I am not opposed to purchasing S-off if that will for sure help me.
Try to flash a lower version of TWRP and see if that helps: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img.html

OK, lets try this a different way. IF one were to try to flash TWRP to M8 AND the bootloader was NOT UNLOCKED, what error message would one get?
Would there still be a response from adb getvar and fastboot devices IF the bootloader were locked?
Trying to eliminate potential issues one at a time
Is there a more appropriate forum for me to post the question?

Long Story a little bit shorter, on my HTC one M8, the error:

Was due to a locked bootloader. Because, for some reason I can't see the bootloader on my phone, I could not see the lock status, so I was having to do EVERYTHING via ADB. The problem was, when unlocking the bootloader there is screen on the phone that asks you to confirm yes or no if you want to unlock it. I could not see that screen and the instructions I was reading left that out (It was a good assumption that if one was trying to unlock one would know to say YES. LOL). So, I was missing that step. When I found that step, even though I could not see it on screen, I just blindly pushed volume down and then power to select. At that point it unlocked and allowed me to flash twrp 3.0.
Still do not know WHY I can't see the bootloader screen. I wonder if for some reason the colors are off in my bootloader screen and all the words are the same color as the background or it is trying to redirect that output somewhere else.
but at this point I am going to live with it as trying to fix it is what got me in here in the first place.
Hi,
I have the same problem phne always reboot in fastboot menu.
The status is also RELOCKED after fashing stock ROM RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_6.20.502.5_combined.exe
But I'm not able to user adb : device not found.

Someone have an idea to help me ?
Many thanks

The top post is in regards to getting signature verify fail message when flashing custom recovery. So I don't see how it's the "same problem".
Be careful about saying "same problem" without giving any specific information about your actual problem, or device details. From my experience, I've seen many dozens of times where folks say they have the "same problem" and when prompted for more info, we find there are many many differences.

Did the RUU flash successfully, or were there any error messages?
Also, please do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can see more info about the phone.

This is normal and expected. You can't use adb when in bootloader. And you can't use fastboot and adb simultaneously. Meaning, when one works, the other will not work, by definition.
Fastboot = only works in bootloader fastboot mode
adb = only works within OS, or alternately will work in custom recovery TWRP
If you issue the command fastboot devices, you should find that it works.
It is also not clear what you are trying to use adb to do (what commands?).

I've been trying to install CyanogenMod for my endeavoru by the instructions in their wiki. These are the steps I took in the very beginning:
Unlock via HTC Dev
Flashed CWM
Entered CWM
Ran the CWM backup function
Wipe data/factory reset
Transferred over the .zip file
Attempted to flash from sdcard
The installation aborted because I apparently have an insufficient version of HBOOT (1.12.0000). The page on endeavoru itself had a note on this, but the install page doesn't, so like a fool I thought there would be instructions relating to that when it became relevant. Thinking what to do, I figured maybe upgrading HBOOT is the same as flashing boot.img (which IS mentioned in the install guide), so I did that as well, but the HBOOT version stayed the same.
I was uncomfortable with not feeling in control of events, so I thought I'd get back to the stock OS as a way to reassure myself and make an external (nandroid?) backup. I thought using CWM's backup/restore function would make that possible, but when I did a restore and rebooted it just went into a bootloop. (There was a FAQ item on this, but it assumed I had a zip file to get the boot.img out of, which I don't -- this was a recovery).
Easier than finding a stock rom would seem to be just to upgrade HBOOT. I found this guide on the topic, but the link to firmware doesn't work. I've found others using Search, but they don't work either. (I have HTC__Y13.) One site that has files is here, but I'm being cautious because the phone isn't cheap and I'm trying hard not to brick it. First, the site is in German (I speak a little, but I can't bee 100% sure what these things are saying); second, the link didn't come from xda-developers, so I'm wary of trusting it out of hand.
Would you suggest going on a search for another ROM (2.17.401.2), or flashing HBOOT (with a file from the German site or from somewhere else), or some other thing? The main thing I'm concerned about for the moment is having a functional phone in the next few days.
Also, can I generally expect the battery to not run out while plugged in by USB?
Thanks in advance.
Grab the firmware.zip from the german site, it seems good.
You can get the boot.img for your nandroid backup by selecting mounts and storage > mount usb storage > /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Your device will charge, provided that you are booted in recovery and the version is 5.8.4.0.

Also, you shouldn't be concerned when flashing a HBOOT, because the package will have to be signed by HTC.
And before flashing anything you will have to flash original recovery, and relock bootloader. This basically means you will be unbrickable!
Unless something goes wrong in the process ofcourse (unlikely)

To flash the hboot you don't need to flash back the stock recovery first ...... Just relock, flash the firmware, unlock, flash a custom recovery again and install a new rom
Thanks. It looks like I got the lock and flash done fine, but it hangs on unlock:

All right, I'm happily using HBOOT 1.39 now with a CyanogenMod nightly running, and ready to explore this supermarket of excitement and possibility.
I terminated the process and rebooted, which worked fine, and flashed boot.img and CWM and then CM from recovery.

I want to get the latest android available for my HTC M8 (AT&T). I'm currently on Android 4.4.2. I have an mdnsd battery drain bug, and the bluetooth has a bug that causes it to break whenever I get around too many bluetooth devices.
I've tried flashing to TWRP, flashing back to the factory recovery, multiple RUU files, and a SkyDragon ROM. All either don't update or cause a boot loop, and I end up doing a nandroid restore to my old ROM.
I get the impression that I need the correct version of the boot loader, which is included in the right firmware.zip file. I've tried to find the right file, but when I go to the mike1986 page to download the firmware, I'm not sure which version to try. What is the latest official firmware that will work for my phone, and what is the latest official version of Android I can update to?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

another solution you can extract the rom.zip from the RUU.exe
By start it and goto %temp% folder and you will find rom.zip
Here what you need to do
press ctrl+r and type %temp% it will open a folder,delete everything in this folder
start the RUU.exe again,once it starting and hang goto %temp% folder again you will find a folder and the rom.zip inside it copy it and flash using fastboot or
rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it in your sd card ( formatted as fat32 ) then reboot into bootloader the update process should start automatically

Hey everyone,
Its been a long time since I updated my phone.
Here's my configuration:
HTC One M8
Android Version: 4.4.4
HTC Sense version: 6.0
Unlocked, M8_UL, S-On
HBOOT: 3.16.0.0000
Radio: 1.15.2133156.UA13G
(bootloader) product: m8_ul
(bootloader) platform: hTCBmsm8974
(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B10000
(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__001
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
Now I tried to turn to convert to S-OFF using Sunshine but it comes up with this: Debug Kernel/Ramdisk - Your device has a debuggable ramdisk. You need to flash a non-debuggable boot.img
I want to go back to the hassle free official Android version provided by HTC. I have tried to look for a up to date guide, however the download links are dead.
Can someone point me in the right step? It'll be much appreciated.
Thank you
why do you need to s-off the device ??
AFAIK it will work on stock roms only ( rooted is fine )
you have an outdated version of android
to be completely stock and have the latest android version available for this device officially
do what this post said (( all of it ))

did you relocked the bootloader ??
if yes try another method to flash and check the md5 for the RUU.zip
this is the easiest method to flash a signed RUU.zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67307303&postcount=1748

The bootloader is currently unlocked (it says ** UNLOCKED ** in purple).
I just tried to open the ZIP file, in Windows, and it says cannot be opened, so I do think it was corrupt somehow. I am going to download it again and see if it does it again.
If it doesn't work again, I will try your other method.
Thank you buddy.

no you can't open the .zip it's signed with htc keys and you can't open it by normal apps
now relock the bootloader as the guide said in the linked post above
it should be relocked to flash a signed RUU.zip on s-on device
no need to download again

This is gonna sound stupid. But after you fastboot TWRP, did you try starting ur phone into bootloader, and going to recovery? I thought TWRP wouldn't install at first but it was there all along when I used the English version.
I can't flash my recovery.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Phone is not rooted
This sucks becouse i bought this phone thinking i whould not have this ****ing problem again.
(also lost my old one for the millionth time)

Weird, that validation error is usually shown when bootloader isn't actually unlocked. Have you tried unlocking it again? Have you tried with mfastboot?

Either you are flashing the wrong recovery for the phone - or you renamed a zip file instead of extracting the img file first
Or
Put quotation marks around the file path eg "c:/file path" or navigate to where you have fastboot and the twrp image first so all you have to type is
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also make sure adb debugging is enabled in dev options of phone settings
Also if the bootloader is unlocked you should get a bootloader unlocked warning when the device starts unless you have replaced the boot logo with a modified one
If you haven't replaced this & you don't get said warning your device doesn't have an unlocked bootloader
The console is definatly finding the file. this is not the issueadb debugging is enabled. altho i realised i have the insert pattern before startup enabled and i think that might be interfering.
I am not gettIng the bootloader unlocked warning.
I disabled the pattern on bootup.
I unlocked with oem unlock.
i tried to flash from directory
Same issue
Stil no unlocked warning

Just to check, have you requested and used the unlock key from the Motorola website? https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

I have requested one. haven't received it yet.
The website doesn't show if eligable if click that button.
Also they havent send me anything for an houer after requesting.

Hopefully they'll send you an email with the code in soon. Sometimes the website is a little slow, but regardless it should say if your device is eligible for unlocking. Is your device a carrier bought device or a retail device or bought from Amazon Prime? They do say if your device is bought from Motorola, to wait at least 24 hours before requesting the code.
Check that the unlock string from your device is properly formatted for the website
Ok, so my device should be eligible, but when in enter my unlock string in your tool, I get an error message. What’s wrong?
Please make sure the string you enter in the tool is:
formatted to fit on one line only
has no spaces (you have to remove them manually)
has no carriage returns (these pesky \n)
is of the right length, e.g don’t forget to append the extra 000000… on the last line
USE THE SCRUB TOOL on the UNLOCK PAGE - ABOVE the INPUT BOX
As an example, this is what is returned with the fastboot command
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 99999999999999993332323239#BD00

(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
And this is what you should enter in the form; it’s a single line, no spaces but with all the trailing zeroes.
0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2A 0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000

That code in the email should let you unlock the bootloader and let you flash TWRP, no other way to unlock your bootloader (officially). If you don't get the code after a few tries of the website/waiting for the email, you may have to post on the Motorola forums: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/230/thread-id/2654/page/1

That looks normal - the 'Image not signed or corrupt' message is normal as TWRP has not been cryptographically signed. As you've unlocked your bootloader that message is informational to alert that you're flashing non-Motorola files to your device (which you are).
I'd reboot to recovery after flashing and perform the other steps required (which appear to include disabling dm-verity: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/official-twrp-3-1-1-0-moto-g5-t3699737 )
