I need to unselect fastboot in my settings, but my phone wont even turn on pass the htc logo. Can someone please help me?
You don't really need to unselect "Fast boot" in settings. Its not even an option in Settings anymore in Lollipop or Marshmallow.
Even if you are still on Kitkat (few people are) the only thing that "Fast boot" affected, is that it prevented booting into bootloader from a power-off condition. But if you force a reboot (which is distinctly different from power-off), you can still get to bootloader:
1) Hold power + vol up until phone reboots (may take a minute or more, if you are stuck on the HTC logo screen)
2) Once the screen goes dark to reboot (but before the HTC logo screen comes back up) let go of the buttons, and hold only the vol down button. Don't let go of vol down, until you see the bootloader screen.
3) If it didn't work, you just didn't get the timing right. You either started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early. Just repeat steps 1 & 2 above until you get it right.
Thank you for help. I already unlock my m8(by HTC dev) and I get recovery and install from recovery superSU zip file. But i cant finished superSU parts(so I am still without s-off and root?), because my telephone still cant load android(I am still on ``HTC one`` logo). So question can I put original firmware into memory card and reinstall all system?

Many folks get fail to boot after trying to root; due to using an old SuperSU version. If the phone is on Marshmallow (Android 6), you need SuperSU 2.52 or later (2.65 is recommended as the latest stable version).
If this is the case for you (on MM and used an old version SuperSU) then flashing SuperSU 2.65 should allow the phone to boot (and with root).
You should also use current version TWRP 3.0
yes i am using TWRP 3.0.2 and superSU version is 2.65. I am still stuck on `HTC ONE logo`.

Probably your best bet is to restore a stock nandroid that matches your version.
You didn't make a backup in TWRP before rooting? You should always do that, for this very reason (in case you run into problems and need to restore).
For more specific help on what version, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Its not clear, were those the versions you used to begin with, or you tried them after my recommendation?
I tried those versions before your recommendations.
after several tryings, telephone trying load. I mean 'Android is starting optimizing app 21 of 133'
And still after optimizining stuck on ``green HTC``...even i can regulate sound, but this is it.

Not firmware but a RUU zip.
Note : MUST relock bootloader
Boot to fastboot/bootloader mode then run command in terminal
fastboot oem lock
What you need :
1. a MicroSD
2. Download the 6.12.401.4 RUU zip - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
3. Rename the file to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero not "O")
4. Put the 0P6BIMG.zip on your microSD
5. Boot your device to bootloader/fastboot then select hboot, it will scan the update zip and ask whether to update - volume up to select yes
6. Let it do its stuff
7. Once completed, reboot
8. Delete the 0P6BIMG.zip on your microSD (or remove the microSD)
9. done
I to do relock, but still cant find right file in microSD card...why? I check several time of file name...
And now telephone cant even load himself, recovery etc. How to back from RELOCKED?

Having the bootloader unlocked or not (relocked, locked) , has nothing to do with it finding the file. It will find it either way (but fail to install if bootloader is unlocked).
You sure you named the file properly (first character is "zero" not letter "O")?
Also, make sure you turned off the Windows option to hide file extensions (which is ON by default). Otherwise, you may have named it 0P6BIMG.zip.zip and not know it.

I tried to update my HTC One X from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 by OTA. The phone would download the entire update (around 370 MB), then try to install it, but couldn't. This happened several times. Then I downloaded the OTA update zip file and copied it to my phone memory. But now, it wouldn't go into recovery mode (after pressing volume down and power and navigating to recovery). When I press on recovery, it would go to a black screen, showing a phone with an exclamatory sign over it. After some time (maybe 1 or 2 minutes) it would reboot to normal mode with 4.0.4.
So, I think the problem is my phone cannot simply enter recovery mode. Is there any way to install the update by commands through PC?
I'm not really a fan of custom ROMs. Only the stock ROM of JB 4.1.1 will do.
Thanks!
Try resetting your phone from the hboot. (You'll lose all data including apps and sdcard. So backup first)
Then try ota again.

You mean factory reset? Did that. No improvement. Also I ran the RUU for stock ROM of ICS 4.0.4. Had to do that to unbrick it (long story, was trying to flash custom ROM. Was facing the same problem, couldn't enter recovery option). But still, same story, downloads update for 2 hours, then goes back to 4.0.4. I'm in deep **** man!

I did, but again relocked to go to stock ROM to unbrick via RUU. I can unlock it again and I would appreciate if you tell me how to update to 4.2.2. But I'm afraid the process won't work if it involves going into recovery mode in the phone.

Like I said earlier, when I go to bootloader (by holding volume down and power) and then select recovery from the options, a black screen comes with an android photo in the middle, with an exclamatory sign above it. After a couple of minutes, the screen disappears and the phone is restarted. That's what happens every time, I don't know why.

That's not a problem. What you're seeing is the Stock Recovery from HTC. As far as I know, you can't flash stuff from HTC's recovery.
Give me the output of 'fastboot getvar all'
And also while pasting the output, hide your IMEI and Serial No. it may be used for bad purposes by bad people.

Cool dude! You have a s-off deivce!
Anyway, Backup ALL (Apps, contacts, sdcard) data before you start with the following steps -
1. Keep your bootloader LOCKED.
2. Download this firmware and place it in your fastboot folder. Also download the stock ROM and place it on your device.
3. reboot your phone into fastboot mode
4. Through cmd - fastboot oem rebootRUU
5.You'll have a black screen on the device
6. Just to be sure, flash the firmware zip twice while in RUU mode. (fastboot flash zip firmware.zip)
7. Now go back to fastboot mode ( Power and volume combo)
8. Unlock your bootloader ( please refer HTCDev for instructions)
9. Flash this recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
10. Extract the boot.img from the Stock ROM zip and flash it through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
11. Go into the recovery. Do a Factory Reset.
12. locate the stock rom and flash it. (if it was erased while unlocking the bootloader, place it again)
13. now reboot
14. If all goes well, you'll boot into stock 4.2.2!
15. if you want to receive further OTA updates (if any)from hTC , flash this recovery.
Hope I helped! Feel free to ask any doubt you have!

Your first problem here is relocked bootloader. Do you still have custom recovery installed ? Have you try to restore your stock ROM ?
When you mentioned you tried to flash firmware, which firmware version no. ? You fastboot getvar all show you have firmware 3.28.401.9 installed.

When on bootloader then press power once to hboot then select recovery, it goes back to bootloader ?
I don't have further idea as the bootloader is locked, except if you don't mind losing everything on your internal storage as this will make your device like a new device out from the box is to use the RUU zip. You need an external sdcard.
Download the RUU zip from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563

rename the zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on external sdcard

I don't mind to lose my data, just get my phone back working
So I'm gonna try this out. It should by itself popup to ask me to install? By external sd card i guess you mean a microsd which i have. Should that zip file be the only file there or can I put it in with other files?
Yes... it will pop-up when you select hboot then press power up to install.
external_sdcard is the microsd. No problem to put it with other files, correct naming is important and put in root of microsd not in folder

I flashed the lollipop ruu and everything went like it should. My phone is running better then ever. Thanks man
Sent from my HTC One_M8
Hi, I took a picture of something with my phone and then locked it. After checking it again the screen was flashing between blank and a stock wallpaper. I reset using the power button and volume up. Ever since then my phone will not load past the HTC splash screen, not showing my carrier splash screen and instead just being stuck on a blank black screen. This is a stock phone which I haven't even attempted to modify.
I have tried to clear the cache, factory reset and all of the different combinations of holding both the power button + both volume buttons etc. I've tried booting without a sim, without a memory card or with one of each. Still no dice.
If anyone could provide me with the answer to my issue that would be amazing.
Thanks!
Edit: I should add I've tried using adb/fastboot and it will not detect my device when I type 'adb devices'.
ADB only works when your phone is powered on. Not when you're stuck at a boot screen. You'll have to boot into the BL and type a few fastboot commands.
Turn your phone off completely.
Press the following combo:
Power + Vol Down
That's the HBOOT menu, press the power button once if FASTBOOT is highlighted. It will go to fastboot mode.
Type 'fastboot devices' and if it shows your serial number, proceed to type this command:
fastboot getvar all
Once you get that, copy the result without the IMEI and Serial Number. Post the rest of the stuff here, so we can guide you on which RUU to flash.
Should be a simple fix hopefully.

Sadly, Three UK RUUs are impossible to find.
Your bootloader is locked I think and you're S-ON. Making things a bit hard for you.
You can try to unlock the bootloader through HTCDev, once you do, flash TWRP recovery, download the 3 UK backup from ckpv5's thread and restore it to your phone. Then flash the stock recovery for your build and re-flash that. Wipe data and reboot. You should be up and running.

See bold. What do you mean here? Re-flash with the stock (non recovery) backup?

Think he meant "Then find the stock recovery for your build and re-flash that".
In any case, just flashing the TWRP backup (nandroid) should get the phone back up and running. Restoring the stock recovery is only necessary to get future OTA updates.
In any case, even if you want stock recovery, I suggest waiting on restoring stock recovery until after you've restored the nandroid, rebooted, and confirmed it boots properly into OS. That way, if it doesn't boot for any reason, you still have TWRP and can try to restore again.
Here's the TWRP backup collection, if you haven't already found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You'll find the stock TWRP backup (and corresponding stock recovery) for 6.13.771.4 there.

Oh, makes sense. Just to make sure, I need to wipe data by just using the 'swipe to factory reset' option in TWRP right? Then I should be good to go? As without wiping the phone is still just a moderately heavy paperweight.
Edit: Factory reset via swipe in the wipe menu, rebooted and so far all is good. Currently optimizing apps.

I used to have a custom rom on my phone but I tried to wipe it and im not sure what happened but I don't think there's an OS on there anymore. It gets stuck on the HTC white screen. I am able to access fastboot and I have TWRP recovery installed that I'm able to access, but I believe it's an older version. I tried just downloading another rom and flashing it but it still wont boot. I'm not sure what I need to get it working again.

Tell me your current Firmware Version and CID (look in Bootloader).

Yes your Firmware is the version-main and its empty, thats crappy.
First download this TWRP Stock Nandroid Backup: https://mega.nz/#!mYxDWApA!JbdLZAhYkz8fas5MpPfOQqGScikCLCmG21KBsjRJKQQ
Then use latest twrp recovery 3.0.2-0: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img.html and install it.
Here is the Stock Recovery that you need later: https://mega.nz/#!SUATBBbQ!-IUlr_tqnpkYFUM0bedRSRH3w__nCZjEAYls-5zncX4.
Then do this taken from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
The basic idea is : fastboot flash recovery NameOfRecovery.img
2. Download TWRP backup - link in post #2 & post #3
3. Download stock recovery - link in post #4
4. Extract the downloaded x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5.zip on PC
5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.
6(a). Reboot, connect device to PC then
open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
open SD Card - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to MicroSD)
6(b). For those with no OS, connect device to PC. In TWRP recovery go to mount, make sure MTP is enabled.
Then you can open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
7. Transfer the extracted x.xx.xxx.x folder (not x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device, so it looks like this :
TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./x.xx.xxx.x
8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)
9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore
10. In reboot menu select bootloader (when TWRP asks whether you want to root your device, select do not install)
11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img
12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install
13. you may have multiple OTA when your device currently on a lower version
14. done
If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP after last OTA
NOTE : There is no need to relock bootloader when doing the nandroid way to revert to stock and do OTA.

You won't be able to run current ROMs because your firmware is too low version.
What you can do is run the latest RUU to get back to stock at Marshmallow firmware then reinstall TWRP to install any custom ROM that you like
1. You need these drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4
2. You need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On, use command
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. You need to install htc signed 6.20.531.5 firmware
Download :
https://mega.nz/#!yIhBTRKJ!5rZldUEzCaFqYUhomn4mO_IgA_-nW6-gV9HX5LCzT5Y
run commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
you'll see error : FAILED
repeat fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. You need to install the latest 6.20.531.5 RUU
Download : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-t-mobile/news/
right click the RUU.exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions - agree/accept, next,next,update,blablabla until it finish.
Now you'll have a out of the box state device.
You can unlock the bootloader again with the unlock_code.bin
Re install TWRP - use the latest TWRP 3.0.2-0
You can install any custom ROM that you like.
All the above procedure require you to put the device on bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC.
The above procedure will wipe everything in your device including internal storage data/files (if you want to backup first, install TWRP 2.8.1.0 and in recovery you can enable MTP after connect to PC to copy out files from Internal storage)
All these require you to have a Windows PC with USB2.0

Hboot 3.16 means OP is on 1.xx firmware.
Which also means the nandroid and stock recovery you suggested are off by 3 versions (4.xx). Are you guessing at the version number?
ckpv5 has the best route. RUU will update the firmware, and get the phone back up and running.

No i didnt guessing at the version number, i thought that he have a higher Firmware version. Im so sorry, i had the problem earlier also on my M7 and yes then i have taken a RUU too, but that was off by 1 version And i haven't the Problem on my M7 with a clear os display in bootloader.

Thanks for this information. I had tried to revert back to stock using that exact RUU from the HTC website but it would keep failing and I didn't know why. Using the stock firmware steps you included got it work. I appreciate the help.

If you had posted the RUU failure symptoms (Error number and message, if there was one; specific behavior and results, etc.) we could have helped there (and still be happy to, if you are at all curious about getting RUU to work). But it looks like you sorted it without RUU, anyway.

Restoring by RUU versus nandroid are two completely different things, and you should be careful not to confuse the two:
RUU re-writes all partitions, including firmware, so there is no chance of a mismatch between firmware and ROM. Therefore, you don't need to match the RUU version to firmware, as long as the RUU is equal or greater number than the current firmware on the phone (no "downgrading" with s-on). And with s-off, this requirement is removed entirely, so you can run any version RUU that matches your CID, MID.
Restoring by nandroid is a completely different animal. Nandroid just contains the ROM and kernel. It needs to match the firmware on the phone, otherwise it won't work properly.

I understand his post differently .. he managed to run RUU after firmware is flashed, a step his missed before (a needed step to run a MM RUU on lower firmware, but never told earlier).

Now I understand. Its confusing, since the 2 methods (both of which have you to credit) to return to stock are both referenced in this thread (another user references the nandroid method); and folks often use the term "firmware" incorrectly to refer to the ROM.
It also means that the user did not follow your instructions in Post #5 in the proper sequence. So RUU failing was inevitable, and easily avoidable; if they had followed your instructions in the proper order.

You flashed a rom that wouldn't work on Sprint device by default. You need proper kernel to run with this ROM but I will not go further on this.
Your best bet now is install RUU meant for Sprint.

Thnks for your reply sir , i was trying to do this , but now my phone cannot connect to the RUU installation wizard , How can i do it
I'm not on PC .. unable to write proper guide.
The easier one for you is download 0P6BIMG_Sprint_HTC_One_M8_4.25.651.14_RUU.zip
then rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on your microSD, not in any folder.
On bootloader, press power once to go to hboot. Once on hboot it will scan the file and ask whether to update. Volume up to update and let it do its stuff. Once completed, reboot.
After setup complete, delete that zip file.
Before that, if you select to go to recovery, do you still have TWRP ?
If yes, boot to recovery and make backup of your internal storage as the above procedure will wipe everything on your device except microSD.
Or you can install any ROM with sprint support (like the one I'm using now) then you don't need RUU.
After completed and ROM is booting, you can install any other ROM with Sprint support.
But it's best for you to update your firmware to Marshmallow first.

Device Halted due to large Image Update Fail
press power to rebbot .
You downloaded the one that I mentioned ? I made a mistake there (wrong file copied).
You need the one that have 4.25.654.14 in it, sorry.
When I said update to Marshmallow first, that's after you fixed current problem.
After you successfully installed 4.25.654.14, then do OTA to 4.25.654.18 then later to 6.20.654.3
(That's why I don't like to help when not on PC.. sometime copy wrong filename)
