Originally posted this issue in CyanogenMod 13.0 Nightlies for the HTC One m8, and haven't received any replies, so I am trying here...
Have been using various versions for sometime CyanogenMod without issues. S-off Super CID.
Recently updated to cm-13.0-20160511-NIGHTLYand the latest TWRP. I noticed I could no longer boot to bootloader. When I tried, the phone would shut down. This happened whether using the reboot menu or TWRP .
I couldn't get anywhere, so I wiped everything and installed Nandroid backup of a stock sense ROM through TWRP. Now the sense ROM keeps asking for my password to decrypt storage. I enter the password I used with Cyan, which doesn't work. After 50? tries, it reboots into TWRP, resets the phone, and immediately reboots to back to sense with the same result. I seem to be stuck in a loop.
Still unable to get to HTC bootloader, and I can no longer boot to TWRP either. The phone is also no longer seen by my toolkit.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you encrypt using android's normal way of encrypting the storage or some other way?

I used the encryption utility provided in CyanogenMod. If I could just get back into TWRP, I could at least restore what I had before.

You might want to try to decrypt with the password 'default_password' as this is the default password for CM encryptions. The lock screen passphrase IS NOT the disk encryption password. It's a known problem with cyanogen. (I assume) You may have assumed that the lock screen password was what it was in CM but it's not. When you get in, make sure to change the disk encryption password (with a terminal sort of program while in root) using
because cryptfs changepw password default_password <new password here>
Really hopes this helps.
It's a CM problem, so just dw and calm down xD
Let me know how this pans out :good:

I think you should wait for the phone to run out of battery or try leaving it off for a bit and try getting into bootloader again. You can try a hard reset with power+volup+voldown then keep holding the down button after you feel the buzz. I don't see any other way you can do it. If you can get there, there's a good chance you can get into recovery and wipe data. It'll wipe everything but it should work.
It should work because while I was reading up on how the encryption works for both sense and cyanogen, they both encrypt the /data so if you wipe that you should be good to go
You should be able to side load a ROM on

With the power+volup+voldown I never get a buzz. Will try letting the battery run down. Appreciate your help.

Still the same. I haven't been able to get it to use up the battery yet. The screen keeps turning off after a about 30 seconds, so the battery is lasting forever! Think I have myself a pretty paperweight.
I have the same problem but I fixed my phone
if your phone not charged use original charger for the phone
-first, remove any sim card or memory card
- [ hold volume down + home button (if you don't have home button skip) + power button]
- press volume down this will rester your phone
- your phone now will work fine
- now Go to settings > lock and security > disable encryption
- no turn off your phone after disabling encryption
- now insert your sim card and memory card
- turn on your phone now everything is fine ..
Good Luck

Hello, I recently flashed sphongle on my HTC ONE V, and it was working fine. I later installed gapps, which was also working fine (downloaded a few app and recovered my contact etc... using Titanium) for a while until I rebooted the phone. After this I could not get past the loading screen for sphongle. I do not know if Gapps was the issue, but I used version 20130301.
I then went to the my CWM recovery menu and did a factory reset, cleared the cache and tried restoring to the backup I made before I flashed the ROM. After doing this I could not get past the HTC menu. After doing all of this I now cannot access the bootmenu, it instead goes straight to the recovery menu when I hold down the power and volume down button as one would do to access the bootmenu. Because I can't access the bootmenu, I can't use an RUU.
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas I would be very happy.:fingers-crossed:
I'll try to answer any questions people have.
CWM is more trouble than its worth. it doesnt have a boot to bootloader option like twrp? you are in a fix without the ability to access hboot
No it doesn't have the option sadly.

Honestly It's pretty embarrassing, and shows my inexperience at this, but the whole time I tried booting to hboot, my phone was plugged into my computer. Once I unplugged it I could boot into hboot no problem. I guess this would be helpful for new users to know.
So I really need some help...I encrypted my phone a while ago....Last night well attempted to remove the encryption I killed my phone....it will no longer boot up...I can get to the recover and download mode.....Odin fails to write anything to it....And the phone cant mount /data or /emmc
So my question is...is there anyway to fix this?

have you tried charging up the phone to 100% (LEAVE IT THERE FOR 3/4 HOURS TO MAKE SURE ITS FULLY CHARGED OR UNTIL IT DISPLAYS A GREEN LED LIGHT) then then boot up, it will prompt for the password to decrypt your phone, put it then everything will be fine
after you are booted up go back to settings-security-encrypt device then follow instructions on how to decrypt your phone after you successfully follow the steps to decrypt it will shut down and bring a bar showing progress of decrypting TRUST ME DONT TOUCH IT WILL TAKE 1MIN-1HOUR
BE PATIENT
fyi this happened to me and pretty much i was feeling like i broke my phone, cried alittle but it was well worth it when i learned about that staff and fixed it later, dont worry your phone is not bricked its just encrypted (YOU CANT ACCESS THE PHONE WHEN ITS ENCRYPTED) it will boot-up after a long 100% charge but it will need you to put the password for decrption
dont panic your phone is not completely fcked

have you tried to use a USB jtag, maybe that might help or if you can get in recovery mode or safe-mode that will help you flash back to stock and fix the problem...........that does not help google is there for you, someone here in XDA will help you
if you can force the phone to download, recovery or safe-mode there is a chance the phone still has some life left in it, Plus tutorials in youtube can help with your situation......
again i got myself into the same problem and issues you currently have but i was lucky to fix it right away before i tried odin
keep trying its not bricked yet, it might work....Last resort is to take it to samsung or get a new phone or something like that will fix it
Hello, this is my first post so forgive me if I'm in the wrong area. Let me try to explain where I'm at. I purchased an HTC6500LVW from Craigslist that was restarting randomly. I figured if it boots up and works, even for a little while, I could find a solution on XDA to fix it. Well, I've tried to reset the phone a few different ways with no luck and even tried to use a tested working EXE version of the last RUU for the the verizon m7 (4.4.3) (from one of dottat's posts). The phone is locked, S-on, not rooted. The phone has a free version of McAfee Mobile app on it that is set up for security. I have never dealt with McAfee and I think their app is the cause of my problem. I can unlock the device with the McAfee PIN but it keeps prompting every few minutes. I can go into Device Administrator and revoke McAfee's permission and then uninstall the app. Then I do a factory reset and it doesn't work. Every time the phone reboots it ends up right back where I started with none of my changes saved and the McAfee app back on it with its crazy security PIN prompts. It says something about NV files when it's trying to do a factory reset. Is that some sort of security file that restores it back to where I started?
How particular is this phone when it comes to cables? I don't have original HTC data cable.

Well, I've confirmed with Verizon that McAfee doesn't come pre-installed. I talked to HTC and they were stumped. The rep said that I could send it in for a new board to the tune of $230 USD. However, HTC is sending me a data cable. I did an online chat with McAfee tech support (and I use the term loosely) and they said they would have to escalate me to a senior technician.
When I try to wipe cache partition it says:
Mount SDCARD failed 1 times
Mount SDCARD failed 2 times
Mount SDCARD failed 3 times
Mount SDCARD failed 4 times
Mount SDCARD failed 5 times
Can not mount SD Card.(No such device)
Write host_mode:0 done
Here's what it says when I try to perform a hard reset.
--Wiping data...
Restore NV for Verizon. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Backup Data Preload
Backup CW Package
Restore Data Preload
Restore CW Package
Formatting /cache. . .
Data wipe complete.
Write host_mode:0 done
Does that look correct? Because it returns to right where I left it. Same junk is still on phone from previous owner.
I talked with Senior Technician from McAfee this morning. He asked me to put phone in safe mode to uninstall third party apps (theirs). The phone would not enter safe mode by holding power button on top and then long pressing power off option and selecting to restart in safe mode. He told me if it couldn't enter safe mode he couldn't help me and I would need to contact HTC (again).
So... I call HTC and speak with a rep about entering safe mode. He has me go into power setting and uncheck fastboot then power phone down and then restart but hold volume down key as soon as I see HTC logo on boot and release after it completes boot. Now it enters safe mode.
I deactivate admin rights for McAfee and uninstall app. I restart phone in normal mode - McAfee is back. I repeat but perform factory reset through settings this time - same problem. I repeat again but perform hard reset through factory recovery - nothing.
Still dead in the water.

I looked at this last night... the pone acts like it's write protected for every partition on the phone. No form of reset while s-on works. Phone won't s-off either because nothing you change on the phone persists after a reboot.

Wow that's crazy. I wonder if maybe they had it encrypted before they sold it to him and then did a reset which yielded the same results he keeps having. I don't know any other way the entire phone could be write protected unless it was encrypted or a script running on boot that causes it.

That didn't work, it weird because my phone is like the OPs phone. Except the phone will bootloop kinda like it will either load OS for like 5-20 sec and then reboot over and over or just straight bootloop. I get same results when trying to factory restore. Also if it does go to os for the 5-20 sec then like almost every app forecloses. I tried safe mode as well same situation. Also very weird is trying to use the rru and attempting to unlock bootloader. I managed after days of frustration to get it to fastbootusb but when I run rru it says Waiting for bootloader (I was already in fastbootusb) then it reboots the phone and goes to bootloop losing connection resulting in fail of umbrick. By the way it says like USB device unknown blah blah blah it malfunctioned. Then the same reboot situation happened when trying to unlock bootloader. Any ideas how to get this phone going?

Hi guys, my HTC is stuck in a bootloop after trying to update Cyanogenmod 13. I fixed the error before (by wiping the data via ADB) but I stupidly decided to re-attempt to install the latest update and guess what? I did it again - only this time, the developer options weren't enabled.
So now I currently have a bootlooped HTC with no authorisation to do anything through the ADB shell, so is there any way to authorise my phone since I can't physically use it?
Cheers
(Also how do I get it back to HTC Sense?)

Just boot into bootloader by holding vol down as it bootloops. Then boot into recovery (TWRP?) and wipe data there.
Or re-flash CM or restore TWRP backup, if needed.

Just flash a Sense ROM. Or restore your TWRP backup from before you flashed CM, or from the stock nandroid collection.

Yeah the problem is that when I try doing that, the phone resets and goes into some black flashing screen now in 4-5 second intervals. I also tried booting it into bootloader using my computer but as I said before, it won't let me due to USB debugging not being enabled beforehand

Doesn't matter whether USB debugging is on or not, since adb commands only work in OS or recovery (neither of which are available). Fastboot commands only work in bootloader-fastboot mode (debugging not needed). So if you can't get into bootloader, you're pretty much screwed on both counts (adb and fastboot).
I've seen a couple reports like this on the forum, where trying to get into bootloader results in black screen, then a reboot. Don't think there was ever a solution found, sorry to say.

Well looks like I found the fix XD
I held down the power button and BOTH of the volume buttons at the same so that the phone resets. I kept hold of it until the phone booted to the lockscreen. From there I enabled USB debugging and went to flash the stock ROM.

Very interesting. That combo is known as the "battery reset" or something to that effect. I'm not sure why/how that would have helped your problem, but I'm glad to see something did!
I suppose the moral of the story, try all button combos before giving up!

You have to use fastboot boot twrp. Now you must install stock kernel and start over.
This seems similar to something that has happened to me. I purchased this phone with the intent of flashing Lineage-MircoG on it. TWRP-3.6.0_11-0-lemonadep.img has been installed, and was working on the phone. I was in the process of doing factory wipes so that I could flash LOS and for some reason, the touch screen stopped working. I can interact with the power button but can't swipe to unlock. I can't seem to find any button combination that will reboot the device either. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I could really use a break down of how to fix it. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Was able to get to fastboot by holding down power, volume up, and volume down at same time. Still unable to interact with touch, however. Computer seems to recognize a device is plugged in but Internal Storage is completely empty, and thus far my attempts to drag the LineageOS image to the device have been unsuccessful.

Install stock rom and boot it. Touch will be back then temp boot twrp and install LOS. After installing then you do format data.

Can you point me to a guide to doing so? I'm afraid I don't know, first time I've ever screwed up this bad. Not even sure where to get files or anything of that nature, Or how to get them onto the phone via fastboot (seems to be the only way to interact)

Can you point me to a guide to doing so? I'm afraid I don't know, first time I've ever screwed up this bad. Not even sure where to get files or anything of that nature, Or how to get them onto the phone via fastboot (seems to be the only way to interact)
EDIT: Will this help me?

Yes
OK, thanks for being patient with me. I have the program downloaded to my computer but I don't seem to be able to get my phone into the prescribed EDL mode. Fastboot, yes, but not EDL. The fastboot command from my terminal window isn't working, and obviously I'm too far gone for adb at this point.
Is there a combination of hardware keys that will force EDL? Or perhaps an easier way that I'm missing altogether?
Again, thank you for helping me. I don't remember having this much trouble with the 6T.
From fastboot. Temp boot twrp and have it boot to edl. If no touch, can you plug in a mouse. If all fails, with phone off hold vol up and down together and plug in USB cable
I got it back on to stock! Thanks for everyone's help.
