HTC One m9 (Verizon) stuck on Bootscreen after root - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I figured out how to unlock my boot loader with SUNSHINE. BootLoader UNLOCKED and S-OFF'd...... Installed when I went into recovery mode, installed SUPERSU and rebooted phone it only booted to the VERIZON boot screen and wouldn't do anything. I tried FACTORY RESET in DOWNLOAD MODE - still will not boot past the verizon screen

Are you in MM? What version of super su did you install? If yes, try flashing 2.65 if you haven't tried... (by the way, you can easily get out of the bootloop by restoring the boot.img)

Yes it's Marshmallow. I went back into recovery. Uploaded the SuperSU 2.65 into my phone, installed it. This time i notices an error message when it finished...
Could Not Find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.zip
Still does the same thing, just boots to the Verizon Screen

Got it working. I got the Stock RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/6-0-verizon-htc-one-m9-marshmallow-t3316279. Transferred it onto a SD CARD (That is formatted to FAT32) and booted the phone into download mode where it asks you to FLASH THE RUU. afterwards the phone is back to stock... Now I will try to root it with the correct SuperSU

The phone it rooted ad running. But I am having issues installing a custom ROM... I tried MAXIMUS HD, ANDROID REVOLUTION HD and ViperOne.... None of them will take, get the same error message as before............

I did get Viper One (ROM) to finally work, I downloaded the incorrect version (v3.5.0 - ALL CARRIERS), so I tried the latest version (v4.3.0) and it worked....

i recently rooted my sprint version phone and on the last step where i have to swipe right inside twrp to flash supersu, my phone gets stuck at the htc one bootup screen. I'm not sure which ruu file to download as i have 3.41.651.4 already on my phone. what do i do now? thanks in advance.

where do i go from here?

Which version of supersu and twrp?
Beamed in by telepathy.

i think twrp 2.8.6 and supersu 2.46? i cant recall what version of supersu but its some where in the 2.4 range its an older version which could be the cause for the bootup issue according to another user.

If your phone is on Marshmallow firmware, you need to be sure you have the latest versions of everything as stuff from Lollipop is not compatible. Most likely that's your problem. Make sure you have a Marshmallow rom and the latest twrp (3.0) and SuperSU 2.65.

right, but my issue right now is that my pc won't detect my phone so i can't put the later version of supersu.

Was it detecting it before? Can you get into recovery at all?

it was detecting it before and i cant get into recovery also i relocked my bootloader for the ruu and it says ***relocked***

Sounds like you need to reflash the RUU and start over. Then copy over the correct twrp and supersu.

how do i do that when I have the most updated ruu? the thread said to only upgrade from the current version

The rom will take as a reflash. Also, use a card reader to copy supersu to a microsd, put it into the phone, boot to twrp and flash from there.

You mist be new. Never take otas if you need to update after soff and root do so via flashing the rooted ROM of the newest update.

So, am I correct in understanding that my phone will not take the OTA with twrp installed? As in nothing to worry about?
Is there any command I can run in terminal to make it stop asking if I want to install the OTA?

I can confirm this works fine as well. I had S-OFF through rumrunner and had flashed TWRP. To take the OTA, I re-flashed the stock recovery (.10) from the link given in this thread, then took the OTA. After the OTA installed with no problems, I re-installed a recovery (I changed to CWM, just for fun). I tested it by booting into recovery, and when I rebooted from CWM, it asked me if I wanted to re-install root (su). The phone now has the OTA (.15), still has SOFF and root was easily recovered.
I flashed the .10 stock recovery and I'm getting an error when I try the ota, any ideas why? I followed these instructions and I end up with a red triangle with exclamation point the reboot and phone works fine. Thanks for any help.
Edit:I got the congratulations message but when I checked it says failed, error 410. I've downloaded it a couple of times.

"No OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?"

I've looked around and can't find my exact issue, so I'm hoping I can get some help if I make a new post!
I unlocked my bootloader through HTC, rooted my device, and then was trying to install Cyanogenmod 13 on it. I have TWRP 3.0.0-0 since the latest one didn't work. It kept giving me errors, and too late, I figured out it was because I still had Android 5.1 on it. I found this out however after I deleted everything except TWRP from the phone. Now that's the only folder that shows up if I plug it into my computer. I do have an SD card, and the files on there seem to be safe. I'm also using a Mac. I presume I need to reflash the stock OS on it, am I correct? If so, how?? I found the RUU file on HTC's website, but I'm not sure how to manually flash it onto the phone, and the files are all .exe, which of course don't run on Mac. I do have the free trial of Crossover, is that compatible?
EDIT: I'm on the AT&T US version if that matters.
I hope this all makes sense haha. Thanks for any help!
You can download cm13 and put it on your SD-Card and flash it from there in TWRP. Or you can use adb and Sideload to flash it. I dont see a reason why you have to go back to Stock before
The latest version of Twrp can flash Zip of Rom bigger as 2 Go but need a new script for the flash , so you have to use older version as 3.0.0. or below to flash rom' s zip with older script.
As Adromir write , no need to be back stock...
He any way needs Android 6 Firmware for CM13 to run properly. As he's on 5.1.1 Firmware, and - just guessing - S-ON, he hast to flash an RUU to Upgrade to Android 6 first.
Send by the swarm intelligence of my coffee machine ?.
Are there detailed instructions somewhere on how to manually flash the RUU file? Can I do it on a Mac with or without Crossover? I could use my spouse's PC, but I'd prefer not to. (I'm still a n00b at all this, haha.)
And yes, S-ON appears in the bootloader.
When I was trying to install CM13, I kept getting a "No MD5 file found", and I found an MD5 hash on the CM wiki, but I have no idea what to do with it.

HTC One M8 Root [HELP PLEASE]

So i have a twrp-3.2.0-m8.img flashed as the custom recovery which works fine. I tried to install SuperSU and got the binaries error of which i downloaded a much newer version and flashed it through twrp. From flashing it, this has screwed up my phone and i can only boot into hboot and recovery. When i try to boot it normally, it just stays on the HTC boot screen with the green and black text. How can i fix it back to normal or root it correctly?
Just restore your backup ... you should already make one before you tried to root it.
Post here fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no then we'll see what you need.

When I helped you previously, I had to advise you to provide the proper details. So why are you repeating the same mistakes here? You need to help us help you, by posting the proper details.
In addition to the getvar output requested by ckpv5, what versions of SuperSU did you use? "Much newer version" doesn't really tell us anything (at least not specific enough for us to help you).
Your current firmware version greatly affects what version TWRP and SuperSU you need to use to avoid problems that you mentioned (no boot). So we can't begin to properly help, until you provide the proper info.
Additionally, you started another thread asking same/related questions. I won't respond to that thread, as making multiple threads (for related issues) is confusing and will only cause more problems (such as hopping back and forth between the threads). Bump your existing thread, if you have to (and asking subsequent questions in that existing thread is an acceptable way of doing that). But please don't make more threads. I have some input on the specific questions you asked in the other thread:
ChiefMustardo said:
Can someone please explain to me why when i use twrp or cwm no ROM installs and the md5 check fails as does the signature verification and it says that the zip file is corrupt. It isn't because i got it from the skydragon website.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can't say for sure why TWRP is failing, until you provide the getvar info. It can be a mismatch between your current firmware and the TWRP version. But we have no way of telling, unless you provide the requested details.
And are you trying to use multiple TWRP versions, or just the one mentioned? And BTW, there is no TWRP 3.2.0, so I assume you mean 3.0.2, but please confirm.
Also, I would avoid CWM, as it hasn't been updated in a very long time, which can create a lot of issue in itself.
What is the exact file name, or Skydragon version of the ROM you are trying to install (also very important)?
Just because you downloaded from Skydragon website, does not exclude the possibility the file is corrupt. A perfectly working file can get corrupted during download to your phone/computer. Try downloading twice, to eliminate that as a possibility.
You should also turn off MD5 verification in TWRP; which is probably causing the MD5 error (as mentioned by dottat here). MD5 check typically not used for ROMs (particularly if there was no MD5 hash code supplied with the ROM).

1. You used wrong TWRP recovery 2.7.x.x that make your version-main now empty.
2. You installed wrong SuperSU - 2.46 is NOT for Marshmallow.
3. When you install a custom ROM, it is pre-rooted, no need to root before or after the ROM installation.
I suggest you revert to stock first then redo the whole thing ... rooting or installing a custom ROM, these you can do later after you fix your phone.

Once it is back to stock, unlock the bootloader again with the unlock_code.bin that you received from htc. If it is not working, apply for a new one.
Once unlocked and after first boot and run setup & everything - install TWRP 3.0.2-0
then install custom ROM (no need to install SuperSU)

That version is really old, released about Feb 2015!
SuperSU 2.65 is recommended. Anything older than 2.52 or so does not include the ability to root MM, and will fail with no boot/boot loop.

That is true, its not clear what the OP is currently trying to accomplish. This thread started out asking about root (stock ROM?) than started another thread asking about custom ROMs.
Its one or the other, not both (root vs. custom ROM) since as you mention, custom ROMs are already rooted.

Just kill the process, and start it again. This is a reported issue for some folks.
If the issue reoccurs, we may have to look at USB connection issues.
Are you using the RUU zip method that ckpv5 directed in Post #7 above?
The RUU method you have suggested seems like it isworking.
The RUU worked thank you so much. Now to install SkyDragon ROM.
I tried the RUU.exe multiple times but that didn't work but yeah, ckpv5's method has worked. It is on Optimizing 44 of 153

The .exe is finicky. Anything but Windows 7 and USB 2.0 can cause problems with its USB connectivity. The zip method is more reliable (as you've seen).
It worked. How do i install a custom ROM? Do i get twrp 3.0.2 then install the zip from that? Also, do i keep my bootloader locked or unlock it?

For the huge majority of mods (flashing custom ROMs, root, and much more) s-off is not needed. S-off is only needed for a few very specific things, such as manually flashing hboot, radio, changing CID or MID, and a few others.

My HTC One m9 is soft bricked and I have no idea how to fix it?

Ok so I'm an android noob and my HTC One M9 is soft bricked, I'm not even sure if it can be fixed. It has (had) android 4.4.2, TWRP and it is unlocked. It all started because my phone randomly stopped booting up, it started freezing at the HTC logo. After trying a lot of things and nothing worked I decided to do a factory reset, but I accidentally deleted my whole OS from my recovery. I decided to flash a new ROM and I downloaded the latest version of ViperOneM9. I flashed it from my recovery, the installation went smooth with no errors. When I tried to start my phone it booted only to bootloader. I tried reinstalling the ROM several times but it didn't fix it. I read on another forum that I should update my recovery (it was an older version, maybe 2.8.7.0, I'm not sure). I downoaded the latest version and flashed it from my old recovery. After that my recovery became inaccessible as well - it says "Failed to boot to recovery mode. Press volume up or down to back to menu". I tried installing several different versions of TWRP with fastboot but none worked. I decided not to mess with my phone anymore, so I took it to a repair shop. They couldn't fix it, I just got my phone back from them. I don't know what they tried, but everything is the same- phone can't boot up, can't access recovery mode. . Can someone please help?
I'd guess your firmware is out of date. The latest version of ViperOneM9 assumes that you're on the Android 6.0 firmware. As for TWRP being non-functional, that's probably because the latest version (3.x.x.x) also assumes you're on the Android 6.0 firmware and isn't compatible with 4.4.2 firmware.
If you know your MID & CID, perhaps the easiest way to get the latest firmware on your phone is the SD-card method of flashing an RUU. You will lose everything on internal memory (probably a non-issue, since the OS was already deleted), and your phone will be reset to factory defaults. You'll need to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and root (if you so choose) all over again. But the RUU will get you on your feet again, and with the latest firmware.
Alternatively, you could flash the old TWRP version and then a pre-Android 6.0 ROM onto your M9, which should restore functionality, albeit with an old version of the Android OS.
Are you sure that you own a One M9. The oldest android version for the M9 is 5.0. Your problems might be caused by the fact that you're flashing files that aren't compatible with your phone.

How Can I Root HTC One M8 International ver. without PC?

Hey, been a while I visited here though but this site has always been my first call when I have issues with my Android.
Kindly help me. I have this m8 intl ver. running marshmallow and I have been trying to use kingroot to root the phone but all the versions I have used so far couldn't get the job done. I am inaccessible to a computer. Although I once used kingroot long time ago when the phone was running lollipop and it worked. After I upgraded the OS to 6.0, the kingroot didn't work.
If kingroot doesn't work, I don't think you have any choice but to use a PC to unlock the bootloader, etc.
Even if you don't personally have a PC, surely a friend or family member has one, they will let you use for an hour or so? Buy them a 6 pack or something, for the privilege.
Well, thank you. I already unlocked the bootloader. And I thought about that options you gave me but the 1hr on a PC is what I don't have. So I have no choice now but to create that 1hr. Thank you.

If your bootloader is unlocked, then you don't need a PC. Do you have TWRP installed? There are ways to flash it without a PC (from SD in hboot) if you don't. If you already have TWRP then flash SuperSU with it or a rooted ROM (most M8 ROMs are rooted).
I used to have a TWRP.zip that was flashable from extSD, but I've deleted it from my DropBox. If you need one I could make another

It's something like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67526388&postcount=387
You put the 0P6BIMG.zip on root of your microsd, then reboot to hboot. System will scan and ask you to update, volume up to update. Once finish, reboot .. you have TWRP 3.0.2-0 already installed.
Then download SuperSU.zip.
Boot to recovery (TWRP) - select install SuperSU.zip - done, now your device is rooted.
If you want me to edit the OS no. to fit your current software version, let me know what it is then I make a new one for you and upload here.

That is a lot of info that should have been supplied in the top post.
First its an unlocked bootloader, you didn't tell us about. Now its s-off, that you didn't tell us about.
I already thought of the method to flash TWRP by zip with SD card method; but realized that you need s-off to do so.
When someone asks how to root, and doesn't give any details; the assumption I would make is that the phone is not previously modified.
I assume the phone was modified by a previous owner? Again, a detail that should have been supplied from the beginning.

I'm sorry It escaped my mind to tell all of this. I actually modified the phone myself. It was a brand new then, I'm the first owner.
Do I just need to flash superuser through hboot recovery now?

It's something like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67526388&postcount=387
You put the 0P6BIMG.zip on root of your microsd, then reboot to hboot. System will scan and ask you to update, volume up to update. Once finish, reboot .. you have TWRP 3.0.2-0 already installed.
Then download SuperSU.zip.
Boot to recovery (TWRP) - select install SuperSU.zip - done, now your device is rooted.
If you want me to edit the OS no. to fit your current software version, let me know what it is then I make a new one for you and upload here.

Thanks I assume I have installed the twrp version twrp-2.8.7.0. Hope it can get the work done by flashing SuperUser through twrp recovery?

If you already have TWRP 2.8.7.0 - don't accept root offer by that TWRP version (won't work on Marshmallow) but download the latest SuperSU zip and install it in recovery.

If you wish to update the TWRP to version 3.0.2-0 or later, just download the TWRP.img then in current TWRP you can select Install and select image then select the TWRP.img and select recovery then install.
Thanks. I downloaded the flashable Zipped Superuser from the link you gave. And since you said the older version of TWRP I'm running won't accept root offer, I bet upgrade it then and use it to flash the SuperUser. Do you have a link to download the latest twrp.img?

I didn't say the TWRP won't accept root offer .. I said you don't accept root offered by TWRP because that SuperSU offered by TWRP is old version and won't work on Marshmallow.
No problem to use that version TWRP to install latest SuperSU.zip

You don't really read what I already posted before. I gave you two options earlier.
1. If you need the flashable zip - you need to give me your OS no.
or
2. Put the downloaded TWRP.img on root of your sdcard. In TWRP select install, below you'll see menu install images, select that, then browse to your downloaded TWRP.img then install. It will ask that image is for recovery or boot, select recovery .. install, done.

Really I am sorry to bother you. I would prefer option 1. Here's the OS no: 6.12.401.4.
