hey. I'm a beginner and I think I made my phone completely broken. let's tell you the story; I wanted to root my device, after that searched a lot on the internet and decided to unlock it, unlocked it by HTC dev and it was alright. after that I installed TWRP 2.7.0.2
and got to recovery and installed superSU.zip after that I rebooted my phone and It got to system. I went to superSU and it said:"there is no binary code installed and...". I thought it is not rooted and after that installed it again and again and the same error from the superSU. I decided to install CWM and I installed the superSU from my phone storage and the same error from superSU after rebooting. I read something in another page of this forum that had my problem and I happily followed the introductions and installed the superSU from sd card and wiped cache and dalvik and ... . after that a factory format and boom the device didn't get to system after rebooting and just showing HTC logo and showing this red text in the bottom : "this build is for development purposes only. do not distribute outside of htc without htc's written permission. failture to comply may lead to legal action."
and I checked it by kingo rooter and it said your HTC_one_M8 Is rooted. do you want to unroot is? I told it yes and it said unrooting successful but when I connected it to pc again kingo said the same thing "your device is rooted do you wanna unroot it" ... . I tried to root my device before rooting in recovery mode by superSU.zip (superSU was not the latest version) by kingo but it was not successful.
after that I installed revolution hd and I thought that I crashed my original HTC one m8 rom but it didn't work and I don't know what to do with this disaster. I can get to bootloader and connect it to pc and detect it and do everything but I can't get to system. help me please. I told everything. my device is a HTC one m8 and I had updated it to android 6 and sense 7 and s-off. oh guys I think I need your serious help. thanks
Your main problem is wrong TWRP and wrong SuperSu that you installed on a Marshmallow stock ROM. But now you really in a mess ... what you can do for others to help you is post the fastboot getvar all result without the serial & imei no.
You may need to restore your M8 with a RUU if available or use a non-rooted backup.

i dont know exactly whats happened here, but i've tried to get my WFS sorted with a different rom than the carriers bloated version.
what i've done is updated hboot to 1.08.0099 and unlocked the boot loader sucessfully (hboot has *** UNLOCKED *** across the top; i used the HTCDEV.com process).
i believe i've got permanent root too.
when i attempt to flash CWM (via PG76IMG.zip), it appears to flash ok, but if i reboot the phone and try to access recovery, it just gets stuck on a white HTC screen.
i've redownloaded the CWM file to see if it's a corrupt download, but still the same problem.
CWM isnt a big issue, although it is nice to have.
however i also am unable to flash another rom either via the PG76IMG.zip SD method, or RUU.
i beleive i've done everything right, and i'm not entirely new to unlocking/rooting devices; only did my HTC Desire last week so the general process is still new in my head.
If your rooted install rom manager and flash recovery from there.
I had problems installing cwm from sd, so used the tool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431969

Help Please!!! Installing OTA Update on rooted HTC ONE M8
I recently rooted my One M8 (with no issues) using Hasoon 2000's excellent tool.
Yesterday my phone flashed up the OTA for KitKat 4.4.4 and I downloaded, but when I tried to install it took me to TWRP recovery where I selected the OTA zip file ran it but it didn't update. When I booted back into android the update flashed up again asking if I wanted to install. Tried again but no luck
Can anyone tell me what I need to do in order to install the update please?
Many thanks
HTC One M8 Toolkit
I'm about to hit my One M8 with a sledgehammer. I've been trying to root it with the toolkit but when I hit Get Token ID it says that the device can't be found. I've read through the whole thread and have tried everything suggested that isn't too advanced. I've tried it with two different computers and the same thing happens: nothing. I've installed HTC Sync Manager on both PCs and the software doesn't detect the phone in neither. Windows does detect it.
Any pointers before I murder my phone?

I used this guide. After finding out my model is not compatible with firewater to S-OFF and not wanting to pay for sunshine, I had to use OTAs to update the firmware. You don't need to delete root access but you need to flash stock recovery back to use the OTA update. Its removes root access anyway but SuperSU is still installed.
I do think you need to unlock the bootloader to gain root through custom recovery as you said.
i have a doubt since you have closed the links for htc one m7 root toolkit does this one m8 toolkit work on m7 too??

Hi all, I just want to unroot my Phone. I rooted using this tool. How can I unroot? Just unroot. No flashing new system.

Rooting HTC One (M8) Question
So I'm trying to root my HTC One (M8), I've downloaded Hasoon2000's toolkit. I'm to the point where I am trying Boot Into Bootloader, but every time I run that, it says device not found. I have debugging on and everything. Any help is appreciated...
I need help unlocking the bootloader!
So I tried following the directions on htcdev.com but i came to the part where i type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and type it into adb and it just sits there at "<waiting for device>". I have done everything correctly to the best of my knowledge. Now i did a little troubleshooting and found out that my one m8 is recognized by adb when the phone is booted up and in the OS but when I go to the bootloader by typing "adb reboot bootloader" and it goes to bootloader and i type the command to get the token is says waiting for device again so then I typed adb devices and ithe phone is not recognized. I have no idea why this is happening so I'm relying on this Q&A thread for help. Tried googling and so far I've gotten "switch USB ports". I've switched it and it hasn't worked. I've also tried using the tool and i get the same result and i followed all the directions from the toolkit from step 1 to 5. Thanks in advance for any help.

well it looks like you've wiped your system partition, hence no OS, best and easiest thing you can do is change your cid and mid and run the dev edition RUU through your phone to start again.
first thing is first, do you know how to post your fastboot getvar all ????
I was trying to install custom rom on my unlocked HTC One M8 and I probably messed up somewhere along the way.
My phone is rooted and S-off. Its got twrp version 2.7.0.2 (if it matters).
I was trying to install skydragon gpe ROM.
This is how my process went : First I backed up my current rom on an SD card (The HTC version with sense and lollipop) and did a factory reset on my phone and tried to install Skydragon for M8.
Soon as I started the process, it said install failed. This is the image i57.tinypic.com/15h6iq.jpg
I tried another rom. Same thing. Failed. I've tried some 5 or 6 roms so far. Nothing works.
To make things worse, when I restore my previous backup (HTC Sense version), it does go through all the way, says its successful.
But, on reboot, the phone is stuck in the HTC One logo and does not proceed at all.
Now my phone isn't usable at all.
Any suggestion helps.
Please help.
Or you need to update the firmware or you need to update the TWRP ! 2.7 is very old !
How do I update twrp without an OS on the phone.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm new to all this.
I tried to update my firmware but all the instructions I found on the web needed an OS installed on the phone.
May be I'm doing it wrong. I have mac to work with or a windows computer with no USB 2.0 ( I only have 3.0 USB). And those instructions say its not 3.0 compatible.
Could someone please post a link that could help me. I tried but could not find one.

It worked!
Finally !!! Don't know how I did it but it worked. I somehow managed to update the twrp recovery (which was what was apparently hindering the OS install in the first place). And then I went ahead and flash my custom rom. And this time it worked flawlessly.
Thanks guys
tl;dr version:
I need help updating my HBOOT to version 2.00.0029
Long version:
Hi guys. Some of my relatives gave me an HTC Desire HD, which I had to "fasten up a bit", so I installed a new ROM on it. I could install TWRP on it without many problems, then everything went well in installing the new ROM and the person was happy.
Now, four months later, some other person gave me another HTC Desire HD, same model, same everything and wanted me to install the same ROM on it. So I rooted it and tried to install TWRP on it. Interestingly, I could not install the TWRP Manager from the Play Store, despite installing it on the other HTC I made four months ago.
My next try was it to install a custom recovery with the help of the ROM Manager from ClockworkMod. It installed perfectly, but I could not flash the new recovery, as it downloaded it, but failed to install, without any further info on that.
So I looked for the ADB method of doing it. After some time fighting against my PC not seeing it in the fastboot mode, I got it to be recognized. A few minutes later I found out, that I have to unlock the bootloader, and I found the EasyUnlockTool somewhere here on this forum. It detected my device instantly and said I have to update my HBOOT to version 2.00.0029, as the version 2.00.0027 cannot get the identifier token I need to unlock it.
And now I am at the point, where I do not know what to do with this device any more. The EasyUnlockTool downloads the HBOOT update, which at least is starting and finding the right phone model. It tells me, I have the Image Version 3.12.207.1 and need to update to 3.13.0.0. Here is my first concern, as in the ReadMe of the Update, the pictures (another phone model) show an update request to Dream_RUU_1.1. But the worse thing is, it cannot update it, because it says my ROM is not supported. Thus I cannot install the HBOOT update to unlock it.
Does anyone have an idea, what I could do here?
Thanks for any answer.
