So my brother sold me his HTC M8 because he switched to ATT with a new phone now so won't be needing his M8Sprint. As soon as I got the phone I flashed a new Recovery (or a new ROM) because I wanted to switch rom but now the phone is stuck on bootloader/fastboot/hboot & when I try pressing on 'Recovery' or 'Factory Reset' the phone just vibrates with a white HTC logo & goes back to fastboot.
When I connect the phone to PC the computer doesn't recognize it & doesn't show up on 'fastboot devices'. But the phone recognizes a usb because it goes to 'FASTBOOT USB'.
I have searched days on xda & other sites but everything I do doesn't seem to work.
If you need information,pictures of my phone or anything else I would gladly give it to you.
Thank you.

First it seems you don't have drivers. Install HTC sync manager from the web and then uninstall, drivers should stay.
Second, I don't know what you flashed and neither do you. After you get drivers flash the latest recovery (http://dl.twrp.me/m8/twrp-2.8.6.0-m8.img) and enter it
Third. Sprint is CDMA, so take notice if the roms support CDMA

Wow thanks so much have recovery now!
Are there specific types of Recovery that is compatible with my phone or are all compatible?
So now can I flash a ROM from recovery or are there more steps to it & again thank you.

I don't know what you flashed. That recovery is straight from TWRP site.
Check when you flash a rom if it matches your device firmware (since you are s-on you can only update it by reverting to stock and take an official OTA if it is available, refer to revert to stock threads around here). For example if you have Android KitKat stock and you flash a Lollipop rom there will be problems since your firmware is not for lollipop. You can get all this info with " fastboot getvar all " it will tell you your cid, your hboot version and everything. For comparability check the rom thread and see if it matches. And since you are Sprint, check to see if the rom supports it. I would recommend Sprint M8 Forum.

If you get S-OFF you can update firmware manually so you don't need to go through the hassle of returning to stock and you can also flash any rom, regardless of your carrier(still I don't recommend to flash a rom that doesn't support SPRINT since sprint is CDMA and probably different hardware). S-OFF is available through sunshine method and costs 25$. In my opinion is worth it but I suggest you read more about what s-off gets you cause you may not be needing it.
I'm no expert in sprint version of the m8 and I suggest you go to this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one-m8

So with S-ON I have to unroot it & go to stock firmware & stock everything, then root it?
Btw can I message you when I need help with something because I don't think I can be asking a different question in this already fixed thread.
Sorry for the questions it's just that the HTC ONE is way more complicated then my Galaxy S3 lol.

If you want to take the latest ota at anytime to update the firmware you need to flash the stock rom and the stock recovery and then the the ota. Then flash recovery again and the rom of your choice. Root will be lost upon taking an ota. There are stocks floating around, there are also RUUs (Rom upgrade utility) if they are available for your version.
Read this thread if you are new to HTC and any sticky you find, those should explain alot and answear questions you might have
Well yes you can message me and I'll try to help, but if you get stuck is good to post a thread here so others that might come upon the issue find it in the future

I have read the guide you gave me btw & it's still a bit confusing but I'll get a hang of it.
Ok so let's say I want a 4.4.4 ROM how would I know what firmware I have right now? I have Recovery working fine, can I just get a ROM that says 4.4.4 & flash it through Recovery or what exactly would I need to do before all that.

That's weird indeed it should show. It may have to do with what you flashed first time. What I would do is go to sprint m8 forum and try to find a stock backup matching that CID.
Or alternatively, install a stock based rom from sprint m8 forums, get sunshine, s-off and flash the latest firmware and rom you want.

I think you need to flash them. Search for GAPPS somewhere and flash them. Anyway I never said it won't work but you may encounter problems along the way.
If you flash the same roms as when you got your phone (eg. You had 4.4.4, you flash 4.4.4) you shouldn't have too many problems. Only when changing versions stuff will mess up like wifi etc
Followed all the steps to unlock the phone. All the command are correct and the unlock code bin was sent to phone and nothing happened. Still has *****Tampered**** and has ****Unlocked**** in the bootloader. Can anyone assist so i can get my phone working again properly??? Urgent!

How do you expect people to help you ? Stick only on one thread .. help will come.
You have "UNLOCKED" & "TAMPERED" on bootloader but yet you are trying to re-unlock it ? This is totally wrong.
Your problem was originally flashed a ROM not meant for your hboot version. Just get the right ROM to install in recovery or restore a backup or even install a RUU to fix it (if there is one for your device)
First step - to get to know your device version better so people can help you is :
when on bootloader and connect to PC, run this command
fastboot getvar all
then post here the result (delete out the imei no. & serial no.)
then people can guide you to the right direction.

I don't see a ARHD ROM with LP for HTC One M8 ATT carrier. All the ones out there either have Sprint or International. Also, Where is the latest firmware? Looked on the website and the last one I see was dated last year. Do you know when the new ROM for this phone will be out???? The other ones, 34 and 41, had all kinds of issues. Current on 9.1.

Any ROM meant for the "GSM" M8 (don't flash any ROM specifically intended for Sprint/Verizon) is okay to flash on your phone. So the ARHD in the "international" Development forum is what you want (but you need to update your firmware, as you seem to be aware).

The 4.16.1540 firmware is for Lollipop, as the goal in my opinion would be to flash a current ROM. It may work with older Kitkat ROMs, but no guarantee. If your intent is to stay on Kitkat, then you don't need to flash firmware. You just need to have a software version that supports your firmware.
I think you should define in your own mind what you want to end up with, and stick to it.
If you put a current ARHD version (41, don't know why you are targeting 34 specifically) and the firmware I linked, then yes it should work on your phone.

The only evidence of the firmware would be the hboot number and radio number. The main or OS version numbers is going to be the number for whatever custom ROM you flashed (does not tell you firmware number).
Post your adb getvar all data again (and again delete serial number and IMEI).

Thanks guys but at this point, I have to stay with KK until LP and the ROM bugs are fixed. I can't have my main phone tied up like this. when the OS and ROM is solidly stable like KK, I will then migrate over. I have been fighting this upgrade for weeks and had enough. It looks like a lot of other people are in the same issue. Will be monitoring this to see when all the bugs are fixed.

What bugs specifically? Some folks have had some battery issues. But I've found LP to be plenty stable.
The WiFi issue is most likely pilot error, not a LP bug. But if you don't provide the info I asked for; I can't help any further.

This is incorrect. Version-main in getvar, and OS in bootloader show current firmware version. The ROM base is found in settings > about > software information > more > build number
But I see the old getvar had a blank version-main, so if the new firmware was flashed with a newer TWRP installed, version-main shouldn't be blank anymore. It was blank caused by bug in a couple of the older TWRP versions .

I know i need to pay for sunshine to get S-Off,i'm considering doing it sometime soon,but just asking,would firewater work if i flashed rom to earlier version of android,like 4.4.0 or so? Also would it need to be official or could costume rom work too? Sorry for another annoying S-Off question. :angel:

It is annoying, since the exact same question was already asked (and answered) twice yesterday (and also easy to search and look for besides that) if you just scroll down on the first page of threads. It looks like you are new to XDA. But it would be your benefit to know that most every question you can think of about this device has already been posted, and the knowledge easily obtainable by just looking/searching. Only after doing your due diligence to search (and not finding anything) should you start a new thread.
Also, flashing different ROMs won't enable old s-off exploits that have since been patched by HTC. It doesn't work that way, HTC is not that stupid. The key is in hboot (not the ROM which can be easily changed) which cannot be "downgraded" unless you have s-off already.
In any case, firewater was an online service, so it doesn't work no matter what version hboot you have, since the dev stopped supporting firewater.

It is annoying, since the exact same question was already asked (and answered) twice yesterday (and also easy to search and look for besides that) if you just scroll down on the first page of threads. It looks like you are new to XDA. But it would be your benefit to know that most every question you can think of about this device has already been posted, and the knowledge easily obtainable by just looking/searching. Only after doing your due diligence to search (and not finding anything) should you start a new thread.

Alright,thanks,sorry for late reply. I've been going around xda forum and i saw that for some roms it says it requiers either htc dev unlocked or s-off. I can unlock phone with htc dev,does that mean i dont need s-off to flash rom,kernel and firmware?

You'll need S-Off to flash firmware. But there are other ways to update without flashing a firmware.zip, usually by going back to stock ROM and recovery, and taking the OTAs provided by your carrier or by running an RUU.

RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. So yes, since it's purpose is to update, it should be higher than your current firmware.
Error 130 is because you aren't running the right RUU.
Get into fastboot and do fastboot getvar all, then post the readout here minus your serial# and IMEI. I'll link you to the proper RUU.

Wait. Dual sim? And I missed it anyways. lol. Hung over and just smoked a joint.
You'll have to change your MID as well.
You can find out how here.
I'm guessing this will work only, because I am unfamiliar with the dual sim. But since you are already running WWE firmware on your device, I think it will.

Then you'll probably have to go back to stock to update via OTAs.
Go to this thread, and do a search for what it says in your version-main for a stock ROM backup (if you don't have one that you made yourself) and also for the stock recovery.

I have stock ROM backup for version 4.4.3, but when i tried to update it just sent me into twrp,and i tried to install OTA from there but it just sent me some error. Do you suggest i move to 4.4.3,get stock recovery and then do OTAs? Also closest numbers to my main version in that thread are 3.32 and 3.34 for both ROM and recovery,if this doesn't work which one should i get?

Alright,thanks for all your help.
after 8 hours traying to fix it i'm done and need help/advice
i tray to mak it short as possible:
Htc M8 previous Hongkong covertet to
m8_ul, cidnum: HTC__001 and modelid: 0P6B10000 Unlocked SOFF running MM wolla
screen got crashed => first fix came back with screen ok but no camera and no ext Sd card
second Fix came back with everything working but
M8_TL, cidnum: HTCCN(somthing more) and modelid: 0P6B5000 Locked SON running stock chines LP rom
ok, i tough: no problem going back to europe WWE.
so, now im Unlocked, SOFF (need to pay twice because they change something in the hardware) and supercid
but wile changing the Modelid i get always 00 to much! i tray 0P6B10000 and 0P6B12000 and get 0P6B100000 and 0P6B1200000
but what disturb me more is the fact i cant flash any custom rom without bootloop. or even going directly in to bootloader by flashing just boot from a nandroid backup i go one step further but stock in the boot screen.
i flashed already firmware 4.16.401.10 and 6.12.1540.4 twice and tray lots of Wolla version and SD MM ROM version and my MM nandroid all end in bootloop the
only the SD10.2 LP with a boot from a original nandroid came to live. What should i do first to get the ModelID right and second how to fix the aditional flashing boot issues and MM bootloop. Can i somehow change M8_TL back to M8_UL?

Sounds like a good mess. I conjecture that your phone's board was entirely changed on that "second fix"; hence, the different mid, fw, etc...
I also think you've somehow ended up with incoherent data, i.e. unmatching product, software version, mid, etc...
LolliPop 401 MEA firmware (Middle-east Europe Africa), MarshMallow USA software, M8 (China Locked) product name, with some bogus model ID.
Its cool that you got it working. But, I want to suggest that you start over with a full RUU flash That way, you put everything back in order and start fresh. From there on, you can restore a stock MM backup or flash a custom ROM with firmware that corresponds your new model ID.
I hope this helps, and let us know how things turn out.
Cheers
P.S. just curious, did your phone's serial number change after the 2nd repair job?
I did some research and found out that I need different kernel and most likely need also the original firmware for the HTC m8tl
Does anyone know where I can get it from? Even though my name is Chinese I can't understand it
And witch RUU should I try Europe or Chinese L?
ACCORDING the fixer guy they just swap the sister board
I can't honestly claim that I know something about your m8_tl otger than that it should be a network-locked m8 (locked to China Mobile), and runs a different radio chip than m8_ul.
My understanding, however, is that if you intend to run a marshmallow, then you will first need to flash:
1. A marshmallow compatible kernel firmware that corresponds to your specific hardware (m8_tl) that contains radio, bootloader, adsp images, etc...
2. Flash a compatible recovery (since firmware will overwrite your current one): the latest twrp is good.
3. Flash your favorite marshmallow rom. Hopefully, this will come with a kernel.

well thanks for both link they would help me yesterday to safe time i was too concerned to change the modelid but with soff and the trick to change it in the firmware zip it doesn't mater at all. And in fact i should't change it from the original one. but anyhow:
my touchscreen has still a spot where it does'nt works well and it is exactly over the virtual keyboard => cant write without turning my phone sideways and back.
=> need a new phone, and the M9 prices are low here., just need carefully check what version i get
thanks, the links i can use in future. the first is fantastic explaining all my doubt from yesterday
My pleasure. I wish you good luck
I had a similar experience with HTC repair, when the screen was broken, while fixing the screen they changed the board and my harman kardon edition came with regular software with boomsound. I had to speak to the next level explaining the mess and finally after many phone calls, I receieved a brand new phone with a different device serial number. I think messing up that way, you may not receive regular software update you tend to receive

The truthful answer is: I don't know
But, evidently, you can run UL software on top of TL firmware. A critical fact is that your TL radio (running TD-SCDMA) isn't the same as the UL's (running GSM/WCDMA). Therefore, you'll need to definitively know whether the UL & TL have the exact same hardware before changing your mid and flashing the UL's firmware.
I hope this helps.

i already can run a UL software on a UL firmware but need a TL kernel (or a TWRP boot backup from a TL software) or it doesn't boot. what is i the difference between TD and GSM? China mobil is usually GSM just 4G doesn't work
TD-SCDMA is basically a WCDMA implementation that's currently used only in China and only by China Mobile, to which your phone is supposedly locked
Its main technical objective is to provide 3G services in very densely populated areas.
Further Info:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TD-SCDMA
You shouldn't have any problem running M8_UL software, just don't mess with the radio firmware from M8_TL. It'd be prudent if you have an M8_TL RUU handy, or stock backup + corresponding stock firmware.

btw i'm running now my old MM Rom with a MM TWRP boot backup from a chines MM ROM that i just install shortly to make a boot backup
I got an update from the factory but it wan't work tell i unroot my phone , how can i do that??
guys the problem is more then unroot the device if you have the time read the comments and post any help
thanks
"Themes and apps" is a really weird section to post your question in. I'll ask the mods to move it to "Q&A, Help" where it belongs.
To unroot, you need to restore a stock TWRP backup. Either one you made before rooting, or get one from here (and restore with the instructions):http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Alternately, you can relock the bootloader and RUU (RUU will wipe the phone).

You don't have the ability to move threads, after they are created. The mods can, and have already moved it to the right section (Q&A). It usually takes someone else to report the thread (which I did), and I don't think you can report your own thread.
But back to the topic at hand, I hope the info I posted was useful to you. Let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks men but there is one thing , the bootloader is already locked I didn't unlock it before , so I was wondering whether I have to unlock the bootloader and install CM13 room or not doing that and unroot the phone because may be there is a chance that the company send an update for 6.0
I only have two questions
Is there is an official update to 6.0 from HTC company?
Or should I go with CM13
Also is there are any risks in bootloader unlock?
I successfully unlocked the bootloader in lg g2 mini before and it was very easy without any big risks
And now with HTC one m8 I don't know if it is the same or not.
My responses below in red font:

How did you root? Was it kingroot, or similar root app?
so I was wondering whether I have to unlock the bootloader and install CM13 room or not doing that and unroot the phone because may be there is a chance that the company send an update for 6.0
Is there is an official update to 6.0 from HTC company?
Android 6 came to this phone a really long time ago, about a year ago (Dec 2015) for most M8 versions. If you didn't get the update, it may due to being rooted, which typically prevents OTA update.
Alternately, depending on what version M8 you have, you can just RUU to Marshmallow (Android 6) without unrooting (although it will wipe all data on the phone). Do you know your phone's CID, or at least provide the OS number on the bootloader screen? From that, I can possibly tell you if there is an RUU.
Or should I go with CM13
You're talking about 2 completely different things, unrooting to OTA, or installing a custom ROM. I can't make that decision for you, you need to do it yourself.
Also is there are any risks in bootloader unlock? Not really. The bootloader can still be relocked, and you can restore to stock. I don't recall seeing any brick reports from unlocking the bootloader. The critical "brick" partitions (hboot and radio) aren't accessed by unlocking the bootloader, and any partitions that are accessed (system, recovery, etc.), can be easily rewritten/repaired if anything goes wrong.

This phone is a mess. Its the AT&T version (m8_ul_ca), but its been rooted, s-off, SuperCID, and some other firmware installed, or partially installed.
Reason I say "partially installed" is that the firmware number (version-main) 1.29.708.4 isn't one I recognize. But 1.xx main versions typically correspond to KitKat on this device. Which doesn't correspond to hboot 3.19 (which is for Lollipop or Marshmallow), nor the radio number [email protected] which is for AT&T Lollipop firmware.
You should re-baseline this device by RUU. But which RUU is the question. Since you have s-off and SuperCID, you run most RUUs.
The main version "708" corresponds to the Hong Kong version. Is that where you are located? What bands does your carrier use for 3G, and for LTE? These things will determine with RUU to use.

َAm not sure but i guess it's not AT&T version because i can use any SIM card i want , AT&T version use specific SIM card i guess !!
Any way i'm not from Hong Kong , i use MOBILS SIM card (From the company MOBILIS) for 3g and LTE .
Also i forgot to motion that when i go to software update i find that there is a system update (Software update :4.16.401.13 (57.45 MB)) when i download it , it wan't install because it says (We determine that your phone maybe running a modified version pf its system software . for your protection , we cannot update your phone . please revert your phone to the official htc system software to update your phone.

You shouldn't be "guessing' anything, and your guesses would be wrong, anyway. As I've already stated, the product ID m8_ul_ca means its US variant AT&T (that product ID also US Developer's Edition, but ATT is much more common). That much is an absolute fact, and not a guess on my part. Being SIM locked or not, has little bearing on what version you have. Any of these versions can be SIM unlocked with the proper code. So stop guessing at answers, as its not particularly useful.
I'll also guess that the back cover has been replaced. As the AT&T version has the AT&T "globe" logo on the back. We've seen a good number of devices "debranded" by having the back covers replaced to remove carrier logos. I'll guess it has a model/carrier number on the back cover, that also doesn't match any of the getvar info.
Any way i'm not from Hong Kong , i use MOBILS SIM card (From the company MOBILIS) for 3g and LTE .
None of this tells me anything useful. What country are you actually from? More importantly, what specific band (or bands) number does your carrier use for 3G, and what band(s) do they use for LTE?
Also i forgot to motion that when i go to software update i find that there is a system update (Software update :4.16.401.13 (57.45 MB)) when i download it , it wan't install because it says (We determine that your phone maybe running a modified version pf its system software . for your protection , we cannot update your phone . please revert your phone to the official htc system software to update your phone.
The carrier version of the OTA is Euro (401) so it won't install on a phone what has firmware for the Hong Kong version (708). Additionally, you have to install the OTAs sequentially, without skipping. So if you currently have 1.xx version, you can't skip 2.xx and 3.xx and go straight to 4.xx. In other words, there is no way you will get that OTA to install in your current configuration.
Which is why I am suggesting RUU. The RUUs do not need to be installed sequentially. Its a complete re-image, and it would also fix the mismatch you have between the main version (HK) and the hboot, radio (AT&T Lollipop).

I'm from Algeria , i guess my country is not supported from the HTC company .
Also as i said i use MOBILIS sim (http://www.mobilis.dz/) i didn't try the 3g or 4g because i use wifi to connect to the internet
Another qeustion : is that mean i can't unlock the bootloader and install the recovery to install CM rooms
In other word there is a risk for that?

Again, you are providing info that doesn't answer the questions I asked; and is not particularly useful. You didn't try 3G or 4G. So what? Does that mean you never want to use them, and will never use cell data? Or otherwise?
The following states that Mobilis uses 2100 MHz for 3g, but doesn't state info on 4G: http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
You can typically call your carrier, and get the answer to the question.

You should be able to unlock the bootloader. But whether you can run any current ROMs is questionable.
Your firmware is a mess. The old firmware number 1.xx won't work with any current ROMs. You should fix your firmware first. But again, by RUU and I need more info before I can direct you to an RUU.
Also the version TWRP custom recovery you will need to flash custom ROMs, depend on what firmware version you have. And your firmware is all screwed up (seems to be partially modified) so again, its best you fix the firmware by RUU before proceeding with anything else.
