Good morning guys.
I am wondering if anyone is able to help me before i go completely nuts trying to work this out. (I also hope its ok to make a new thread)
A few weeks ago i rooted my M8 following the steps on this website (htconeroot. - how-to-root-htc-one-m8/) with no issues at all. Unlocked the boot loader and also there is the software tag saying modified (my understanding is this is normal). Installed the custom recovery with no drama.
A couple of days ago i got the OTA notification that i can now download 5.0.1 (Happy days) however this is where i seem to be running into problems. I know that i need to revert to the stock recovery from TWRP and then from here need to relock the boot loader to install the OTA update. I think my main problem is that i don't know what version of the stock rom i need to install. I have tried a few but none of them will boot into recovery from the boot loader.
So this is where i am.
Boot loader works fine and will run fast boot and boot to custom recovery - does state that the OS - (Blank)

I have a swisscom locked phone (VODAP110) the software version is (3.29.166.9 from phone) however the main-version is blank, another website said i need a stock recovery (x.xx.166.x - Vodafone CH-DE (Switzerland - Germany))
The last stock recovery that i put on the phone was (3.29.161.5 recovery.img) this then would allow me to start the phone and run the OTA update. From here the phone will restart and start the update but after about 20/25% the phone will crash displaying a picture of the phone with a red triangle and upside down exclamation mark. I read somewhere that if this problem happens to erase the cache and it should fix the problem but it didn't.
Could anyone please point me in the correct direction or help me solve the problem i am having.
Do i need to ?????
1) install the correct stock recovery (if so could someone please help me find the correct version)
2) Flash the stock rom from HTCDev (no clue how to do this with fast boot and if it will restore the recovery)
3) Give up on OTA and look for a custom 5.0.1 flash and use TWRP to flash from recovery.
Thanks so much for any help.

Maybe this one works? This is the 3.29.161.9 recovery. It's from my VODAPE17 cid
1: download the ota, take out the firmware.zip and in that zip is a recovery.img. that is your correct stock recovery that you need.
2: go to the general section - collection of backups and firmwares. Have a read there and look for your cid in the list with backups.
Please do not relock the bootloader that is not needed for an ota !
And delete your serial !
I was forgotten to paste the url: https://mega.co.nz/#!nZkCWZAL!djqZnzAlVfHslzWJxUxvW5cLKHdI9BIhr_uxzjFxbng
I also have this Problem with my M8 (3.29.166.9). I also flashed the new recovery from the OTA, but when i flashed the OTA, the recovery wrote Status 7 error ...
New download of the OTA doesn't worked..
Any Idea ?
Sorted

Hi onkel.
the process i went through was as follows.
1) force download the OTA from swisscom and copy off to computer.
2) do what Mr Hofs said above and extract the ROM and dig out the recovery.img
3) reset with fast boot - (fastboot reboot-bootloader)
4) flash recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) fastboot reboot
7) install OTA from within booted OS
8) wait.......
Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem guys.
@Mr Hofs if you would like the OTA update or recovery.mg please let me know.

Back to stock problem
Hello,i have a similar problem. I did everthing as you,rooted,custom recovery and unlock bootloader on htcdev,all to try out custom roms like arhd and so on. But i didn't do a nandroid backup,because i'm a fool and didn't know what i was doing. When i wanted to go back to stock i tried flashing 3.29.161.9 as it's similar to our stock rom but had no luck,still no updates. When i go to fastboot my os says os-3.29.166.9,so clearly there lies i problem. i need i stock 3.29.166.9 nandroid backup so i can go to stock. i've downloaded the recovery you uploaded and put it in 3.29.161.9 rom but no luck. So can you please upload a 3.29.166.9 nandrod backup. Thanks in advance. And mister Petert87 and Mr Hofs if you have any idea how to solve my problem please tell can you tell me. Cheers guys

Sorry to resurrect this thread, I would really appreciate if anyone could share a nandroid backup. Phone not working. I appreciate the OTA's you shared, but I am note sure how to proceed from there. Nandroid would help.
Thanks in advance.

Did you not have backups for x.xx.166.x, or am I mistaken?

Are you running a rooted stock ROM when your phone now not working ? If yes, can you install TWRP recovery and make backup of the system part only. Then upload it for me, I'll try to fix it. I've done this many times with other rare ROM like WIND, Taiwan version, Optus, Telstra and many more.
If possible, just PM me the link.. this is the only way that I can help you and @dexterts

No. I don't have because I can't find any version nandroid for x.xx.166.x anywhere out of XDA
That's why I'm asking these guys to help them
And if that @raynordg guy respond to notification ... he can help too. He was scared about his data on nandroid backup ... system partition has no user data.

Yes ... change CID and flash EU WWE RUU if you want it on .401
If only firmware, you can restore a EU WWE backup and do OTA .. but for now only lollipop the latest and there's already lollipop RUU, you can check EddyOS thread for RUU method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235

First ... remove the serial no. & imei no in your post as they are sensitive info.
You have 3 options :
1. Restore 4.16.401.10 TWRP backup - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60147089&postcount=5104
It read as WWE 4.20.401.10 TWRP Backup but that's typo error .. it should read as WWE 4.19.401.10 TWRP Backup
or
2. Relock your bootloader and install 4.16.401.10 RUU.exe - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56140330&postcount=1
(make backup of your internal storage important data as this will wipe everything)
or
3. Relock your bootloader and fastboot flash the 4.16.401.10 RUU.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
(make backup of your internal storage important data as this will wipe everything and also note you need htc_fastboot instead of normal fastboot)
thanks for your fast response.
adb restore <file name> ?

Read the thread linked in my signature on how to restore a TWRP backup.
You need to extract it with 7-zip and put those files in your backup folder not to ADB it nor fastboot it.
hi guys
I have similar problem.

software number was 4.16.401.10 before OTA update.
can i also use the files above to try to fix the phone?
Thank you. restore is in progress.
After restore i will flash back stock recovery and then relock the bootloader.
If i do that, my top line in bootloader will disappear ? right now is : "Software status: Modified "

No need to relock bootloader.
Only when running RUU.exe or RUU.zip you need to relock bootloader when S-On.
Using a backup no need to relock bootloader. Just flash stock recovery then do OTA.
If that backup fails (as I'm not sure whether that's fully stock or not), I put up my own stock backup in my thread .. you can try that later if current one fails.
Restore successfully completed. Now, in order not to have problems with latest OTA , i have to restore stock recovery, right ?

Are you sure that you started installing OTA after flashing stock recovery ?

Yes. OTA downloaded and I tried twice to install, but all it did was restart phone into bootloader.
After flashing stock recovery, I rebooted phone, ran OTA and update started.
After update completed, phone rebooted to white start screen with HTC logo and froze there.
I have read that this is probably because I ran OTA on rooted device.
So now i am stuck with no OS and hope these files will help.
Thanks ckpv5 for help and link.
stock nandroid restore worked. got my phone back
flashed stock recovery and running OTA again now. fingers crossed.
but whatever happens, just wanna say thanks again guys. much appreciated.

thanks very much guys.
now to flash custom TWRP recovery and re-root.
if I may ask, what is the safest method to run OTA in future?
i dont really know. Anyway , how about your free space. i dont know what happened because now i have less that 1 GB free space.

Boot the custom recovery and make a pure stock backup. Restore that one if you need to ota update again

The best solution for me if I ever have this problem .. I will format data (not wipe data) in TWRP before I restore the backup (of course need to backup internal storage data somewhere else first)
Done . Now i have free space. many thanks !!
Hey everyone
The thing is that I was trying to return my phone to stock recovery to update my phone to Marshmallow and unroot it and I read this in another forum:"Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.
Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.
Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk."
So I followed these instructions and then when I rebooted the phone,it got stuck in bootloop. I can't turn it off now or get into the bootloader.
Android-HTC One M8
What can I do to have my phone again in stock recovery?
Thanks in advance
First of all if you rooted the rom this ain't going to work. You need a never rooted stock rom + recovery.
Hold power + volume up and switch to volume down when the screen turns black (do not let go of the power button) then you are in the BL. From there you go to the custom TWRP recovery.
Then you have to find a pure stock backup or a RUU that matches your OS/firmware number (if you haven't made one yourself), restore it and flash the stock recovery and you are done.

Also I try to get to the recovery menu but it only shows a phone with a red triangle,nothing else.

You can't run the dev edition RUU at all as you are S-ON and have a different firmware. If you have the 709 RUU then try that indeed. But backup what you need because a RUU deletes EVERYTHING !

No S-OFF is NOT needed. just get the RUU with that version number indeed if it's even available. Then run it with a RELOCKED bootloader.

First question is, are you on stock ROM or not (unlocked/relocked/all stock ?!) ?
Please tell us what you did before and how you did the OTA or even give some more info at all

If you didn't do anything to the phone, i would say the best idea would be to send it back for repair if you still have warranty on it... (any other way of fixing it by yourself would maybe void your warranty)

Warranty is over and i am in a remote town in uae, so sending to repair is the last option.
where can i get stock rom or RUU for my phone version.
ok read trough here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/guide-restore-european-htc-one-m8-to-t3072235
Best would be if you read every page because the guy at the last page hast the same CID like you (could be helpfull infos for you)
But BEFORE you start trying this method (or the method mentioned at the end with nandriod backups) you first have to unlock your bootloader (wich voids your warranty)

As you mentioned your warranty is over and you don't need to send your phone for repair.
What you need to do :
1. unlock bootloader thru http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
2. install TWRP 2.8.7.0
3. restore Marshmallow 6.14.707.1 non-rooted backup
4. don't accept root offered by TWRP
5. install stock 6.14.707.1 recovery.img (optional)
6. reboot & done.
All files & How-To, see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
This will get you back to your stock ROM
Or you can unlock bootloader, install TWRP and install any custom ROM that you like to try.
I did the following instead already:
1. unlock bootloader thru http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
2. install TWRP 2.8.7.0
3. Root using TWRP
4. ?
Can u ley me know the next step now. Can i use the twrp backup from the below post now ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60211240&postcount=3
Thanks for your simple and step by step process.
You guys rock.
Yes ... 6.14.707.1 backup on post #3 & 6.14.707.1 stock recovery on post #4
For all the steps, read post #1 ... I don't want to repeat them here.
hey all, great to see this post and i have exact identical situation here and want to try the step here to fix my M8. rashmixda, do you successfully revive your m8?
p/s: sorry that i edit the post twice to correct the name i ask and a typo. realize i asking wrong person after i saw the backup file name after ckpv5. thanks for your backup and it is my life saver for my M8.

Help: Cannot turn on wifi/bluetooth. Phone no longer have cellular signal.
Hi ckpv5,
I followed this guide and I was somehow able to revive my phone. Before, it no longer boots --it goes straight to the bootloader after the HTC logo. Unfortunately, my wifi, bluetooth, and cellular signal issues have remained unresolved -- I still can't turn on wifi and bluetooth and I still don't have cellular signal) . Before my phone went into bootloop, I already had these issues and they have persisted until now.
Is there a chance that these are just due to a software/firmware issue? And if so, please advise on what to do to resolve these issues. Thanks in advance for your help. My phone is not supported in my country. In fact, it was returned to me by the authorized service center unrepaired after a month of being with them.

I don't know whether the problem is hardware issue. Based on your info, it looks like hardware problem.
What you can try is restore one version lower 4.19.707.4 backup and install 4.19.707.4 stock recovery then do OTA again to 6.14.707.1. When doing this, it will reinstall the firmware too and see whether this will fix your problem.

Hi ckpv5,
Thanks a lot. I am now downloading the files.
I'll be probably be doing the OTA update manually since I cannot turn wifi on on my phone. Can I use the 6.14.707.1_ckpv5.zip file that I previously downloaded? Or probably I have to root my phone so that I can share my pc's internet to it through reverse tethering. Will rooting not cause issues during OTA updates. Thanks...

As I wrote above, you need to restore 4.19.707.4 and its stock recovery. Don't use 6.14.707.1 and don't root.
After you restore 4.19.707.4 you can connect to PC and use Internet Pass-Through feature to check and download OTA .. don't root because OTA will fail on a rooted ROM. We expect the OTA from 4.19.707.4 to 6.14.707.1 will fix your problem. If it does not fix it, then it is hardware problem.
Note : you can't manually install OTA on a S-On device

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.

thnks a lot , i'm going to do this steps seems easy ,
the last part that i didn't get , how can i update my firmware to marshmallow first ?
ckpv5 , got the ruu file and rename it and copy it to sdcard , but when i go into HBoot it says
Image Update Fail
Parsing ...
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)
