[Q] Very Deep Problem...

Hey, guys, one day i was searching for Lollipop ROM for my HTC One M8, i had stock 4.4.3 and stock 4.4.3 firmware, after installing SkyDragon ROM i lost my Wi-Fi, i wanted to get back to full stock, but i have S-ON and Unlocked bootloader, idk which firmware and software i had because when i am running "getvar all" main version is blank, CID is HTC_059, i tried to restore nandroid backup for TWRP 2.22.707.4 and 2.22.707.3, TWRP gives unknown error, then i tried to fastboot old recoveries randomly, nothing helped, and the stock recoverie that possibly was on my htc says: "Device_CW_Install: No CW files. Skip cw installation. Write host_mode:0 done":crying: What can i do?

I also think that MID and CID changed during my manipulations, is that possible on S-ON Device?

MID & CID change is not possible with S-On
To confirm, run this command in fastboot mode - fastboot getvar all and post the result here (delete the serialno and imei no)
If HTC__059 then TWRP 2.22.707.4 and 2.22.707.3 are correct.
You mentioned unknown error .. please explain what error.
How do you restore the backup zip ? You are not supposed to install them but extract them on PC and transfer to your device TWRP/BACKUPS/serialno/folder

I extract them on the sd card, the twrp backup folder, then go to TWRP "Restore" and choose the folder where i extracted it, it just says FAILED. And here is the "getvar":

Please help!!!

1. change your TWRP to the latest version. What you have is very old, that is why you have that empty version-main.
2. use the TWRP to make a backup of boot then see where the backup goes ... your downloaded backup folder should go to the same directory ... or simply copy the content of downloaded backup to that boot backup folder.
Most of the time, the error is due to wrong directory.
Your getvar all confirmed that your CID & MID are correct for TWRP 2.22.707.4 or 2.22.707.3 .. it is better to use 2.22.707.3 backup first then do the necessary OTA up to the latest 3.32.707.9

Also i forgot to say that Hboot says Tampered and there is no OS.

I have the same problem, though with sense, s-off and and locked boot loader, had gpe installed but went back to sense because of the lack of being unable to move apps to SD..
Have no idea how to fix it, or what information I need to get help with it, just wanna return phone to 100% stock.

then many around here can give suggestions.

This issue crops up in TWRP from time to time. Did you update TWRP as ckpv5 suggested? Re-installing TWRP will sometimes make this error go away.

[Q] HTC One M8 won't boot.

Some one please help me.
I have the HTC One M8 which I updated to Android 5.0.1 through OTA updates about 2 weeks ago.
Yesterday, I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device. I also have the TWRP Recovery v.2.7.0.2 installed.
Everything was working fine until after the root when I noticed that the internal storage had some kind of write protection on it. Like even the default "DCIM , ANDROID, Downloads etc... folders weren't there". I discovered the write protection on the internal storage when I tried to download a file using Chrome on the phone and it replied with "No SD Card".
Funny thing is apps from the Play Store were installing perfectly fine.
So I booted back into TWRP recovery and did a factory reset thinking I must've messed up while rooting.
After the factory reset when I try boot up my phone the Setup Wizard constantly crashes so I can't do anything.
My HTC One M8 is the international variant Model: 0P6B100.
Someone please help

1. Install the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.4.0 (2.7.0.2 is damn too old and buggy)
2. In TWRP select Wipe - Format Data (you will lose all files in internal storage)
3. Reboot - you should be able to run the setup wizard

I installed TWRP 2.7.0.2 using All in one tool v2.0 by Hasoon2000. The tool needs usb debugging to be turned on which I can't turn on because I can't get past the setup wizard because it keeps crashing.
Is there a way to install it manualy using fastboot?

I thought so ... when I see TWRP 2.7.0.2 I can guess you use some outdated Toolkit.
Press & hold Volume up and power button until the screen turn off then quickly release both buttons and press & hold volume down button. This should get you to hboot. Press power once to go to bootloader.
If you don't have a proper ADB & fastboot installed, download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Download latest TWRP : http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
Connect to PC and open a command prompt and run command fastboot devices and see any connection with PC, it will give your device serial no. if it does.
If yes, flash the TWRP : fastboot flash recovery NameofTWRP.img then do the above that I mentioned

If you don't feel like installing the latest TWRP as I said above ... then -> hboot -> recovery -> wipe -> format data -> type yes -> reboot
I wrote almost everything there, but read only the last paragraph ??

I did that. Then it started the "Android is upgrading - Optimizing apps splash.
After that I'm back to the Setup Wizard which keeps crashing.

Then the only choice is to restore a stock backup or RUU.
What's your software version ?
Better post result of fastboot getvar all (minus the serial no. & imei no.)

You don't need S-Off to run RUU, relocked bootloader before run RUU. Read thru that thread, there are many discussion.
Read this, this guy also doesn't have S-Off device : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/one-m8-htc001-cid-firmware-wifi-problem-t3031656 and he managed that.
Or just restore backup that linked to you if you don't feel to relock bootloader.
You need to read all those thread. Without reading, this is going no where .. good luck

What does RUU mean? and how do I use it?
Also does applying RUU restore my phone to the way it was before root as in With Android 5.0.1 and Sense 6.0?

RUU is ROM Update Utility released by HTC.
Read the thread on how to use it. Basic is put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode and relock your bootloader with command fastboot oem lock.
Then run the RUU exe in Administrator mode (select run as Administrator) from your Windows explorer.
This will wipe everything on your device and replace with new stock ROM with no root.
That RUU is lollipop 5.0.1 and Sense 6.0
Read the thread.. you will understand what it does. Good night.

Did you do fastboot oem rebootRUU before fastboot flash zip ruu.zip ?
Let's do a different way, the simplest one.
1. Re-unlock your bootloader
2. Make sure you have TWRP 2.8.4.0 or 2.8.5.0 installed (I mentioned many times about this version, right ?)
3. Download a flashable stock ROM One_M8_4.16.401.10_stock_system_dump.zip from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994
4. Boot to recovery and connect to PC, In TWRP recovery select Mount and enable MTP, you should be able to open internal storage or MicroSD on your PC
5. Transfer the downloaded One_M8_4.16.401.10_stock_system_dump.zip to Internal Storage or MicroSD
6. In recovery, select Install and select One_M8_4.16.401.10_stock_system_dump.zip then swipe to install
7. Reboot

Thank You.

There is no problem to install RUU on S-On device. Just need to relock bootloader if it is unlocked.
You may have remove/freeze Setup Wizard or it's corrupted.
Restore your nandroid backup if you have any. If no, try restore a stock nandroid backup or RUU.
Without fastboot getvar all information, nothing much to help you

Firstly - remove that serial no & imei no from your post
You have 3 options :
1. Restore 4.16.401.10 TWRP backup and 4.16.401.10 stock recovery then do OTA update to 4.16.401.13
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)
You can get the RUU.zip from link in option 2.
Option 2 & 3 - you will have the hassle to relock bootloader and later re-unlock bootloader if you want to root it again and this process will wipe your data.
I would go for option 1, no need to relock bootloader - you can get all the needed files in link in my signature

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)
You can get the RUU.zip from link in option 2.
Option 2 & 3 - you will have the hassle to relock bootloader and later re-unlock bootloader if you want to root it again and this process will wipe your data.
I would go for option 1, no need to relock bootloader - you can get all the needed files in link in my signature

I think you can skip option 2 & 3 as it seems most links to required files are no more.
Go for option 1, no need S-Off, no need to relock bootloader.
What you need is an unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery installed, use TWRP 2.8.6.0 or 2.8.7.0

No, not zip file ... extract zip on PC and copy the last folder 4.16.401.10 not 4.16.401.10_ckpv5 folder to TWRP/Backup/Serialno./ then restore on TWRP
That's explained on step 7,8 & 9

HTC with locked internal memory

Folks
I need help to solve a problem.
I bought a HTC One M8x and decided to set up a rom custon. I study the subject before. I took the program kit available for the M8 and follow all the steps to unlock. All this function normally, however when installing the ROM custon the device just gave error. I was exploring the tool I ended up pressing and making procedures that were not listed, but apparently did not issue before starting the installation made the backup and then wipe. I started the procedure to install, entered the install section and located the ROM and sent install. After a while appeared an error saying that the installation was not possible, I managed to recover the backup, but the phone was not the same. I realized that my internal memory is no longer visible, I can not download pictures or audios in whatsapp, another thing I noticed is that the file manager also does not provide the internal memory (directories, programs, and others). When I try to synchronize your phone with your computer to the same thing, I can see the micro SD, but can not see the internal memory. I possibly when I was digging the Recovery program just blocking the internal memory and wanted to know how do to reverse. Does anyone have any ideas.

Do you have access to bootloader? if yes. You can try to restore your phone with HTC RUU

Using the (now outdated) toolkit was a mistake. Whenever modding these devices, you need to research the current methods applicable to the current state of the phone, not methods from 2 years ago (and all the toolkits have not been updated in that long or more).
The toolkit installs an obsolete version of TWRP, and that is probably why the ROM is failing to flash. It probably also wiped out your OS version on bootloader screen and getvar (not a major issue, but an inconvenience if you want to determine the firmware number).
You should update to more current version of TWRP. But you'll probably need to solve the issue of your internal storage first, which is apparently been corrupted. Go into TWRP, and try the option in Wipe to "Format Data" (button next to "Advanced"). This usually fixes the corrupt internal storage issue.
Also do fastboot getvar all, and post the results, so we can see more info about the phone, and more properly provide guidance. Delete IMEI and serial number before posting.

I have access to the bootloader but do not know run this action. Could you tell me where I can walkthrougt to do so.
Thank you for your help

Pardon
Now that saw the second message. I will perform this procedure now

Friend
Your solution worked perfectly.
I wanted your help to make the second action, I entered the bootloader and accessed the fastboot but did not find the getvar option. Could you tell me how to do it.
I found the TWRP 3.0.2, I believe it is the last version but need help because I believe that the update version is not simple, I installed the 2.7.0.2 version.
Thanks again

This isn't an option on the phone, if that is what you mean. Its a fastboot command issued from your PC, and you'd know how to issue a fastboot command if you unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev.com, instead of letting the toolkit do it for you. Which is another reason I don't like the toolkits: they shortcut the learning process, and leave you without the skills to solve basic problems, which almost inevitably happen.
You're going to need to figure out where fastboot.exe was installed during the bootloader unlock process. Once you've found that, you can then:
1) Connect phone to PC, booted into bootloader-fastboot mode
2) On PC, open a window for the folder that contains fastboot.exe
3) Hover mouse cursor over the window, and Shift+Right Mouse button, then select "Open command window here" and this will open up Command Prompt to the fastboot directory
4) In Command Prompt window, type: fastboot getvar all
5) You will see output with details about the phone, to copy the desired text, right click on the command window, select Edit>Mark, then highlight the desired text (getvar output) and press Enter. Then paste the text.
6) Be sure to delete IMEI and serial number from getvar output before posting it here

Exact TWRP version depends on your current firmware, which we can determine from the getvar output above.
Once we've determined the proper TWRP version, its easily installed by putting the file in your fastboot folder, and flashing with fastboot command. Again, we see how valuable it is to know how to use fastboot. But don't try that, until we've determined the proper version from getvar output.

As I suspected, your firmware number (version-main) info was wiped out by using an obsolete version of TWRP (known bug). But luckily I know the radio number corresponds to Marshmallow firmware.
Flash TWRP 3.0.2 using the fastboot install method here. No need to install Android SDK, or drivers noted in the instructions, since you already have fastboot setup (and you're a fastboot expert now ); and not need to reboot using adb, if you do it using the button combo other otherwise.
After getting the updated TWRP version installed, you should be able to put the desired custom ROM on the phone, and flash it. If not, take note of any error messages or other behaviors, and post them here.

I managed to update TWRP following the instructions, but when I tried to install the ROM did not succeed.
It gave an error as if he could not open the file or install, see the message:
Error opening: `/and-sec/uuuuuuuu.uuu'(I/O error) ===> Several lines with mensagem.
You know how I can be able to install any rom?

In TWRP go to WIPE then select Format data, type yes
Then go to REBOOT select recovery ... now try again to install ROM

Htc one m8 bricked?!?! Stuck on boot screen (htc logo)!

Hi guys I have an HTC ONE M8 running 4.4.4 with TWRP and Root installed and a few weeks ago I tried to go into TWRP and clear cache and dalvik-cache and such, as usual. When I did that and rebooted the phone, the phone is stuck on the HTC logo and I can only boot into bootloader mode and also into TWRP. Also TWRP is also saying I have lost root access.
What can I do to fix this problem can I restore back to 4.4.4 as a new device and re-root it and install TWRP? How do I get out of this mess? It is S-ON and Software Status is MODIFIED.
No matter how long I leave the phone it will stay on the logo until it dies or until I boot into bootloader.
Thank You Guys I Have Lost Hope Honestly.
IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE PROVIDE THOROUGH INSTRUCTIONS! THANK YOU!

First of all, the fact the screen comes on at all, means it almost certainly not bricked, and recoverable. You just can't boot into OS, and with TWRP installed, that is not too serious a problem.
On the other hand, once you have TWRP installed, the first thing you should always do before rooting or other mods, is to use TWRP make a backup of system and boot.img. And even after successful root, it's good to make a backup of the rooted ROM. If you had a TWRP backup o the phone, in an event like this (no boot into OS) you can simply boot into TWRP, and restore the backup.
If you have no backups, you can download the proper one from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You can then restore using the instructions from that same thread. You only need to do steps 4-9 to get the phone running again, then reboot. Steps 1-3 relate to installing TWRP (which you already have). Steps 10 and on, are optional as they will install stock recovery to the phone, which will allow you to update to more current Android version (which will eventually get you up to Marshmallow).
If you need help determining what version number TWRP backup to restore from the above linked collection, then do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Another option is to RUU back to stock (if your version M8 has an RUU) if you are okay with the phone being wiped. If you are s-on, you will need to relock the bootloader in order to RUU. Then after RUU, unlock the bootloader again, install TWRP and root the phone.

There is no OS installed at all for some reason! When I try to download a backup I need to flash it and the only way to do so is by having the MTP Driver installed in order to drag it into TWRP and flash the backup. I can't do so because it fails to install my MTP Driver.

you can use a card reader to put the rom or the backup on external sd card
or use an OTG USB flash memory
also connect the device to pc while you are in recovery this should work by it self no need to install MTP driver
which OS you have on your pc ??

No OS is usually an easy fix. Download a ROM on your PC, put it onto your extSD, and flash the ROM in recovery. The reason you have no OS is because you wiped system in TWRP. If you do that, you need to flash a ROM after or you'll have no OS on a reboot.
It's best to never wipe system in TWRP as this is done by default in recovery when you flash a ROM. There will be the odd instance that it is suggested to wipe it ( I've never seen that with HTC based ROMs), but if it isn't then don't.

Not clear which drivers you are trying to install, the HTC drivers from their website, the ones which load from the phone, built-in Windows drivers, etc.?
Try going to HTC's website, and download HTC Sync, which will also install the drivers. If you already have this installed, try uninstalling, and re-install.
Alternately, the Android MTP device drivers built-in to Windows is a generic version of drivers which can often get at least adb/fastboot working, and probably also allow you to drag/drop to internal storage in TWRP. If these drivers are the ones failing to install, it would imply there is something wrong with your Windows installation (which there isn't a lot we can help you with) rather than anything with the phone.

You need to flash the firmware 6.20.651.3 in order for the RUU to install (firmware and RUU are different things - so don't confuse the two). The firmware and how to flash are described here (as well as all the Sprint RUUs): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
Just a heads up, if you don't know already: No need to relock the bootloader to do this (flash either firmware or RUU) since you are s-off, and no benefit in doing so. Plus, relocked bootloader gives you less options to recovery, so it is not recommended to relock it in your case.
Also, in regards to your original question (no boot after restoring TWRP backup): you never answered my question of how you picked a TWRP backup to download and restore (which I asked twice before). Now that I see you have the Sprint version M8, I will guess that you tried to restore the incorrect version backup. Sprint version uses different kernel from most other M8 versions. So if you don't restore the proper one, no boot is the expected outcome. Also, even if Sprint, it would have to be the same version you were on before (Kitkat) which is another reason it would not boot.
