Hey guys, got the following problem:
Important things first: I am from germany and I know that my english isn't the best, but I'll do everything I can for explaining everything, so you can understand me.
So, the problem is complex; please read everything^^.
I am proud user of my HTC One M8, and after months of "normal" using, I tried out several things like custom roms, storage encryption and such things.
The last custom ROM I was using is ViperONE.
On my One M8 there is S-ON, USB-debugging is deactivated, the H-BOOT version is 3.16.0.0000. (

, please excuse the quality).
There is a problem with the recovery partition/version --> when I want to boot into recovery, it opens H-BOOT.
Now, what happened:
I often tried to reset the smartphone: install a new rom, etc.
And with every try I became sad, because it failed.
It could not open the required recovery-mode. God knows why.
As initially mentioned I encrypted the storage, and on the decryption screen was written, that the smartphone will hard-reset after 30 times of incorrect password input.
I thought, it would be a good idea, to try that out.
But first, it seemed like the best thing to disable usb-debugging. I think, I been totally brain-afk.
So, I did this (disable usb-debugging, restart mobile phone, 30 times incorrect password input), and watching as the phone get doomed.
The phone starts into H-BOOT, thats it.
But... no, one more thing, my decryption password got changed.
I can do nothing for several months.
Funfact: After some search in blogs, asking google, etc. I found out that my only mistake it was, to turm usb-debugging off. If I haven't did that, there where no other problems.
Any ideas, what to do?
Do you know, what the decryption-password is now? I thought it could be null, so the password-variable is empty. But on this point, I have not idea, what I should do.
Please only write constructive posts, nothing like "customer service". If there is no chance, on saving the smartphone, it's ok, but please write, why you think, that there is no way.
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely, Dardassa

Change the language on my touch pro 2...
Today i both my touch pro 2 but it is in Italian language can i change it by installing a new rom? ( i tried installing custom roms but the unlock failed )
Hard SPL your phone BEFORE you change roms...
Fundamental rule that people with bricks seem to ignore....
But I can't hard SPL my phone... it stays at 0 % and then it shows and error and nothing
edit:
Or it says Loading... on the phone and again nothing happens

edit2: And then it usually show me 260 error Connection error
how is it that you are ateempting to hard spl your phone? Hopefully you are doing it through active sync. Ensure you have the latest windows mobile device center version and that you unpack the Hard spl and running the correct option from there. Like ultramag69 mentioned, if you keep attempting to flash your device without hspl, you may have no device at all.
I am using sim unlocked htc.
My IMEI is PM me for this
sd card out, sim card out, phone on.
attempting to flash.
downloaded ,installed windows mobile device center
connects.
attempt flash with Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe
automatic flash doesnt work
attempt manual flash
picture of my phone comes up, instruction on flash come up, i agree, continue.
window comes up with 0%
phone screen is still showing 0%
after 6 minutes or so it comes up with UPDATE ERROR.
If you want i can make a video of what i am doing
Better if you eliminate your IMEI from post for security
Anyone help? i love my tp2 but I also want to customize it... at least to change the language...
edit
This is my first TP2 (device ) i have never flashed another htc before !

I rooted the stock OS with SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata.exe and everything worked fine. Then I installed MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk and did the SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.4.0.tar flash, and upon reboot, the OS loaded up fine, but after a minute the OS would lock up and the phone would then reboot on it's own, and it just keeps doing that no matter what. I've already tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, no change. What should I do?
BTW, I'm a noob to smartphones, the reason I was doing all this is because I can't transfer any files to the internal USBStorage folder either by KiesAir or by physical connection to the pc, I just get a transfer failed error. I was trying to make a recovery so I could load a custom ROM (dirty unicorns) in hopes that this would fix the problem. Also I don't think taking this phone to Boost for a replacement is an option, since I bought this phone used from the previous owner. HELP! =(
Look guys, I'm not someone who is too lazy to use google. A week ago I didn't even know how to use this device. I've tried looking around but I'm gonna need someone to point me in the right direction, so seriously? 33 views and nobody can at least do that to help me?

What I would do is download the GB27 Rooted Odin here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
And update to JB and maybe that might fix some of your problems. You can get into Download Mode by pulling the battery and replacing it and holding Power+Vol Down.

Good, at least you're up and running
Hi guys, I've been scouring Google for 3 days now and can't come up with an answer, everything says use Odin for this and use Odin for that... well I can't.
A few days ago I downloaded an app from the Google store Linuxonandriod or something like that, it's pretty much an installer to place Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android, the instructions began with rooting the phone, I began that process and believe I accidently loaded the incorrect pda to the phone (I have so many files now on my comp, I have no clue which one I selected). Odin rebooted the phone and that's that.
If I try to turn on the phone it goes to the first screen that just says SAMSUNG then turns off, never getting to the Samsung Galaxy III screen. The USB on the phone seems to have been botched, none of my computers will recognize it (Windows or Linux), the phone will not even charge. I can however get into both recovery and download modes without problem.
Naturally, download mode does no good because the USB is useless and I do not have clockwork mod installed on the phone to bypass the verification error.
I tried to simply install clockwork via recovery in hopes that would do something, but I get a verification error with that.
Is there anyway around this using the SD card or am I holding a $300 paperweight?
Thanks
Maybe try this-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125

Thanks, for the link. I did check it out, but couldn't figure out what the poster was talking about with drive letters and such. That dmesg | tail told me nothing about my sd. I unzipped everything to the card by a different method but my the computer still wouldn't recognize the phone, so booting back into windows did nothing.
Sorry for the delay in response, I've been extremely busy with work.
I'm still at a total loss on this.
I purchased 3 FTVs for my home net purely to run xbmc and dont have a lot of interest in amazon prime or the stock FTV setup.
2 of the 3 boxes were fine, blocked updates on my net, rooted, disabled updates, XBMC on, everything worked great. Still need to do some tweaking but all good.
1 of the 3 boxes already knew of the update, and is trying to get it, but is of course blocked. As I have never booted it, I have no way to know what FW its on now.

I have tried waiting of course.. Tried pulling the network cable after it finds the DHCP and before 'checking for updates' (actually doesnt say that it seems to already 'know').
Is there a way of resetting the knowledge of the update ??
What is my best course of action with the greatest probability of securing root ??
Is there a way of stopping an update if I let my router connect to the update links ?? As I have never done that I dont know how the process goes ??
Or is there a way of on the first boot, when it updates, enabling ADP and rooting and disabling before the next boot (I read this works but perhaps not in this situation, eg from a normal boot not a first boot).
Lastly, I am not in the US, I dont know if it will even allow me to get the updates outside of there and I cant VPN via my router.. Which would lead to a useless if not bricked FTV stuck in a loop of an update it cant get.
Sorry for the Qs.. I did search but theres a lot of variables and one mistake could lose root on this box, where possibly the right combination or sequence can preserve it.
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-unbr...ry-mode-and-factory-reset-the-amazon-fire-tv/
Just did this.. With a reset of user data and cache.. really thought it would it would work..
Booted.. had to discover the remote.. then.. Exactly the same.. Update detected (blocked with openDNS) and in the same loop ??
Can I block update system by ADP ?? Given the recovery option of update by ADP, is that any use here ??
Hello there! Apologies for the vague thread name, I'm actually unsure what is wrong with the phone -long story short, I've bought it in CashConverters, thinking I could earn some (M9 for thirdy quid? bloody hell).
The phone does turn on, so I don't think it's hard-bricked. When the phone is turned on, it goes to this menu
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
REBOOT and REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER result in the same, as does turning it on after POWER DOWN.
After pressing BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE, this menu pops up, and pretty much goes back to the first one upon VOL UP or VOL DOWN.
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE does work, and results in this menu
I have once attempted to "apply an update from SD card", it resulted in this, and decided not to test my luck.
Couple things to note, I do IT for a living, started working on it yesterday, 2pm - 2am, mostly reading through XDA and android pages, didn't manage to find a solution yet, and I'll stab myself with a spoon if I failed at searching.
My question is: can I fix it? Is it worth it?
You could flash a RUU.exe if its a tmobile, verizon, sprint etc. Other than that i dont know... You cant even see what firmware number you got

I assume it's O2 because it says himauhl_o2_uk, plus an O2 sticker. Other than that, I don't know, as I can only access recovery, and literally got it in that state.
Edit: I assume it's caused by someone disconnecting the phone while updating through HTC Sync, but I am unsure.
I am having this same exact issue with my Sprint M9. I have tried installing the 0PJAIMG from the SD Card and no love. Get error E:footer is wrong signature verification failed.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
