Desperate: HTC Reboot Hell, even recovery - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all thanks for anyone who can help me.
I'm quite desperate after spending countless hours on XDA trying to get my phone to work.
I received the phone (international HTC one M8) in a somewhat broken state and I am trying to fix it.
Originally the phone had a 4.4 rom on it which caused the phone to reboot constantly, I couldn't get the rom to update either so I decided to flash it to Marshmallow.
Set S-off, I flashed TWRP and installed the latest Skydragon rom. Wifi wasn't working though so I flashed ruu firmware 6.12.401.4b. The rom worked, Wifi worked, but only downside, it only booted while being charged with a cable, and the sudden reboots started occurring again. So I think the battery might be shotty too. Anyway, I got a device tree warning too, so I reflashed a different Ruu, reboots started occurring even when trying to get to recovery. So I went back to the 6x ruu, tried to flash Skydragon again and then I spiraled into real trouble. Each time I tried to flash a rom, the phone reboots while installing. I even tried the MeID changer to make sure it fits with the firmware.
Long story short, the reboots got worse, I can't get into recovery without rebooting. If I run recovery over fastboot, I get into the recovery, but it reboots when I try to flash anything. I also tried Phil's revovery but same problem.
I can get into fastboot, hboot and bootloader just fine though.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Need more info to proceed. Please do a fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Sure Thing! Thanks!

It is indeed an M8_UL which is the GSM/Int version.
However version-mics shows: XF SHIP S-OFF
M8_UL_XF is something I have heard of before on a forum (few pages back, there's a thread with a similar case).
Anyway, an ordinary M8_UL will show 'PVT SHIP S-OFF'.
XF is either a 'different' variant or some type of engineer/prototype device.
What do you think @redpoint73?

Here is the getvar all from my M8.
Notice the version-misc.

Thanks @murtaza02, I finally got the damn thing to work because of your comment I realized my CID was bogus and wasn't corresponding with the MID, so I fixed that using fastboot, flashed the EU 6x FUU and the corresponding RUU (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057). And behold, It booted into Marshmellow!!
Now though, the phone still keeps shutting down (not even rebooting) and won't start android without being plugged in. Could this be software related at all? Getvar says the battery is good and when it craps out, (most often when trying to enable WIFI) it shows the battery charging just fine. I still see the device tree warning on boot btw.

As I said, yours is XF and a normal M8 is PVT.
Your device will accept a MM firmware, however there may be a SLIGHT difference in partition/partition sizes hence the device tree error and irregular behavior.
Your CID was not bogus, it was just SuperCID which is used to bypass the CID check during an RUU/FUU flash.
I'm still trying to figure out why (and how) yours is different.

I don't know much about the XF variant, either. But I recall @ckpv5 pointing out the difference to an XF user a week or 2 ago. So maybe @ckpv5 can jump in and give some advice here?

@redpoint73, Thanks but I fear @ckpv5 might not have any more info to go on. I found his post where he referred to the XF variant. He said it's quite possible a US variant, definitely has different partitioning than the PVT version, but didn't know more. I've also seen posts of people suggesting it's a Canadian version.
I bought it on Aliexpress if that is any lead. But in all honestly, I'm really starting to worry I have an expensive paperweight.
One more potential clue, the Alie page suggests the phone only has WCDMA, no LTE, could that be a lead? Ow and one more clue, the model number on the back of the phone is: OP6B100x

[Q] URGENT: Wifi will not turn on after OTA update

Before i start to explain i would like to apologize for the basic title, i know people have had this issue in the past as i' have spent many hours on end going through Forum after forum attempting to look for a fix for this.
I'm reasonably new when it comes to rooting devices, i used to have a Galaxy note 2 i was able to tinker around with no problem, then i came to rooting my M8 and stumbled accross a multitude of problems.
At the moment i have a nandroid backup i can backup too that i believe is 1.54.61.5 as my CID is ORANG001 then when i attempt to do the OTA update it installs, then when it reboots i cannot use my Wi-Fi, it stays grey and will not turn on.
I read somewhere that a certain firmware file is required for the Wi-Fi to work yet i cannot find my Firmware due to the mainversion being blank and i have attempted to install 5 different Firmwares which i will list below:
2.22.1540.3.zip
1.54.654.13.zip
1.54.651.8.zip
2.22.401.4.zip
2.22.401.5.zip
I will display my getvar all information to provide further insight, not entirely sure what information to blank, not really fussed at this point haha.

well to begin with your s-on and your not going to be able to flash firmware at all unless it the correct newer version than whats on the phone now.
3.18.0 hboot = 2.x.xxx.x firmware
ORANG001 = x.xx.61.x
so your looking for a 3.x.61.x firmware to flash

Bricked to the Max... (Maybe)

Prologue:
So there I was, caressing my shiny and smooth M8.
At the beginning of the year I S-Offed, and added DigitalHigh's awesome Beyond Stock...
Later on, I used a standard RUU GPE Rom.
After repeated Wi-Fi password amnesia, I wanted Beyond Stock Back.
Flashing "GPE_5.1_M8_DH_080215.zip" gives me an "Error 7" even with repeated wipes... hehe... wipes
Searching didn't give me a coherent answer.
So I though, let's update TWRP... and...
Now
The thing's only usable in Bootloader.
If I go to recovery or ANYTHING, the "Google" logo stares at me in disgust.
Odd detail: I'm using fastboot and when it's stuck on the "Google" logo, entering "adb devices" detects the phone in recovery mode.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0, but all I see is the "Google" logo. (I can still feel vibrations on the screen as if I'm hitting a menu button)
I also tried to "fastboot -w" and it gave me the "remote: not allowed" result.
Actually, I tried to fastboot a lot of things and the result came the same.
Anyways, I'll give a detailed log as soon as I remember how, but the reason I post this is 'cause searching for this doesn't give an understandable or reliable result.
Thanks

But delete the serial and imei before posting ! If you have an old bootloader you have to use the 2.7 series of TWRP. if you have the latest bootloader (3.18-3.19) you have to use 2.8 series of TWRP !
OOOOOOOOOHHHH, Where I get new M8 bootloader?
Hold Up, going to work, will post 'getvar' later today.
It's there, brah.
Take a look if you can.
It's an AT&T device, you are using it with AT&T ? And you fully converted it from sense to GPE ? You could also :
1: run the GPE ruu again. It will get you on GPE stock again and since you are s-off that should not be a problem of any kind.
2: convert back to sense (original AT&T with software number x.xx.502.x)
i am not sure if the AT&T RUU will cover the "back to sense conversion" so this might be interesting too as it involves the standalone flashing of the firmware first (you need a AT&T firmware, NOT the one posted there !!!)
here is more conversion info :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523

Didnt want to start my own thread due to the shame..
Hi,,
I have managed to remove my OS, without making a backup. All i have running is TWRP. Was going to install CM12.1, but didnt update the M8 to the latest software that contains relevant bootloader. From here it went downhill - fast.
Ended up with no OS, no backkups, and no ability to flash other ROMS i think.
If someone could give me a few ideas, i would really appreciate it.

Your case is different and you should start your own thread but there are many same case as yours.
Here is one and the solution is in there.. run RUU - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-sos-t3192177
Anything you're not sure, ask there. Don't hijack this thread.
UPDATE: Thanks to ckpv5 and the links that were provided i was able to complete the reinstall - thank you so much!!
Opps - sorry - didnt mean to offend!
Will take a look.
Thanks
Mike
The RUU got me an OS and, right now, that is all I need.
Thank you!!

T-Mobile Data dropps every 5 minutes

Hello!
I have an unlocked HTC M8 and I'm using it with T-Mobile. During almost a year I never had any issues with it but since January I having a recurrent issue: I can only have data for a few minutes. To solve it, I need to continuously disconnect and connect data.
During this time, I tried some "solutions" I found online:
_Install different ROM
_Add new APN
_Go to #*#*INFO*#*# and change to US band
The phone is still S-ON so I didn't change the radio (actually there is something that bothers me: the phone should be from T-Mobile but the model number is M8_UL_CA that, accordingly with the internet, it's from ATT...)
I noticed this after I returned from vacations in Portugal where I used a local SIM card...
Does anyone suffer(ed) from the same problem? I'm getting so frustrated...
Thanks
Hello, no one had experienced this before?
I'm on t-mobile with no issues.

To start with I would do the 'adb reboot bootloader' then do the 'fastboot getvar all' and post it (removing the imei and serialno). Mine is below as a reference. Also a little history - my is an actual t-mobile branded phone, I was rooted with lollipop and unrooted and had t-mobile upgrade my phone to MM. Once done I dev-unlocked and then did a backup and have installed custom ROMS. Currently I am using ACIP by coachcrey and I don't have any issues.

I bought the phone on Swappa from a seller that said it was bought from HTC directly. After I start having the issue, I rooted and installed a couple of different ROMs until I decided to go back to stock
Thanks for any help you might give me

The product ID m8_ul_ca can be AT&T or Developer's Edition.
The main version indicated with digits "1540" agrees with Developer's Edition. So it may be true it was purchased from HTC directly.
We have seen a lot of AT&t variants "converted" to be unbranded (Euro, Dev Ed, etc.). But since the ATT version has the ATT logo on the back of the phone, they would have to have replaced the back plate to remove all the branding. The model number on the back of the phone (fine print near the bottom) may also give a clue to its origins (although if it was replaced, it may not even agree with the product name in getvar - which is the most reliable info).

How exactly did you return to stock? Your own nandroid, stock nandroid from XDA thread, or RUU? If not your own nandroid, what version number?
Although, the fact your data issues coincided with using a foreign SIM; I'm inclined to believe that was the cause, rather than anything to do with custom ROMs, restoring stock ROMs, or the fact its the Dev Edition.

Sorry, I can't remember how... I followed a guide and I think I downloaded HTC official ROM.
As for the foreign SIM, how could that affect the phone? maybe it damaged the SIM tray? How can I solve it?

[Solved] HTC One M8 problems after attempting to root

Hi everyone,
I attempted to root my HTC One M8 a few months ago and I got completely stuck and soft bricked my phone.
I now just want to try to get it working any way I can (back to stock or rooted whichever is easiest)
My bootloader is unlocked
I have S-ON (and I'm not sure of the best method to gain S-OFF if this is required, as there is a lot of conflicting information)
and I have TWRP v2.8.7.0 installed (I know this must be an old version now)
My region is United Kingdom/ carrier EE
Can anyone please advise me how I might be able to get my phone working again? (back to any working state is fine)
If this is any help... when I do fastboot getvar all, this is the information which comes up
(bootloader) version: 0.5

You have European version htc m8 .
The easiest method is running a RUU for going back to stock .
Relock your bootloader .
Go to bootloader
Give command
Fastboot oem lock
Download this RUU
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
Rename it 0P6BIMG.zip
Place it in sd card
Boot to bootloader
It will automatically read the ruu file and proceed with instructions.
HiT Thanks if SomeBody Helps you..
Thanks so much for the fast reply and perfect solution!!!
Hi sonnu0100.
I am in the exact same position as TMJay, however the only difference for me is that my CIDnum is "orange001".
Do you know which RRU I can use as the one you've provided for TMJay doesn't work for me. The error I receive is:-
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Device halted due to Large Image update fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot"
My issue isn't as a result of me flashing things without care. I think there is an onboard memory problem as when I was using my M8 as my primary phone last year (before my HTC 10) it lost the OS without me doing anything. I was able to recover and get a working device again but can't remember what I did. I've gone to hand the phone to someone else to use and it's seemingly died again.... could just be erroneous.
Help appreciated.
Many thanks,
Hi,
For info, I've found a solution by referring to this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
So I'm back up and running with a working phone for now at least .
Cheers

Help Please! my m8 bricked cid: HTC__001 MID: 0P6B10000

I am on android 6, the m8 just stuck on boot for few weeks now.
the phone is still locked, s-on.
I am in UK, the phone bought from phones4u, it's sim free phone.
I have never modify anything.
I prefer just find a new ruu, then I can restore it to stock or the latest one,
I prefer not to root it or s off, but if i have no choice, I will consider again.
I have tried ruu_M8_UL_m50, shows image old,
is there any new ruu for it,
Thank you!!!:good:

especially post #4 & #6
If it is software problem, should fix it.
If it is hardware problem, it may fix it or it may totally brick it.
Thank you! I am reading now
I am downloading it, I will try it tonight, it's not hardware problem, it should not be bricked.
I don't mind, I have to try it.
is the ruu offical one?
is the htc_fastboot.exe special one? it's tiny file size?
instead of use computer to restore, i am using sd card to do it, it is updating now, thanks again, I update the result once it's done.
Thank you my friend, my phone is restoring now, It is loading app, for about 4 weeks I didn't see passing the htc logo screen, I hope it will load everything, I will update again in 1 hour.
Thank you very much for your help!
It's working now.:laugh:
