I think you are referring to bootloader screen, which is white with green Android mascots at the bottom, and gives you some options (fastboot, recovery, etc.) and has some info at the top?
If so, what does it say for OS number?
Your OS is missing, or damaged. How we proceed depends on the version M8 you have (which may be answered by the OS number).
Were you trying to do anything when this condition occurred, or it just happened spontaneously?

Chinese M9 bootlooping after OTA

Hi All,
Really hoping someone can suggest a possible solution for this one, only had the phone a few months!
So, Chinese released M9. Unlocked. Stock recovery, not rooted. Gapps installled.
Everything perfect, then today I got the 5.1 update.
Seemed like a slightly iffy install process...looked a little like it failed a couple of times and tried again.
Finally finished, the phone shows the white screen with the one logo, takes a while, opens on the desktop and turns off, back to the white screen with the logo.
I have been able to boot into safe mode, which is stable
I have been able to get to download mode and bootloader. Neither of these offer a cache wipe or a factory reset.
I have not been able to get into recovery mode, it shows a phone with a red triangle and an exclamation point.
So for my (largely uneducated) part I have two theories for the cause:
1) Gapps is somehow proving a problem, either faulting the install or causing a fatal error on startup
2) Since the update was notified and downloaded while on a VPN via Hong Kong, I wonder if I accidentally ended up with the HK version in which case I suspect there may be hardware differences (at least the radio). This seems unlikely, I would hope there were enough checks in place to prevent this happening.
No solid idea where to go from here. I have not yet tried ADB access, but even if I can connect, what will I do? Flash a new ROM? I'd rather not. And surely I'd need to root in order to do that....
At a loss, any potential solutions welcomed whole heartedly!
Thanks...
Booting into safe mode, but not booting otherwise, indicates a problem with some app or rom setting.
You're probably going to need to do a factory reset, but that's odd that it doesn't show up in bootloader or download mode. Have you tried the options in stock recovery (which is that screen with the red triangle)? Use the volume keys to change options.
Hi iElvis - the screen with the red triangle - there's nothing other than the red triangle, no options, no text and nothing happens if I press any of the physical buttons.
Trying a factory reset from safe mode - I'll let you know what happens!

Hmm. It would seem the Chinese models are set up differently, which would not surprise me at all.

Did a reset to factory on my tablet, now in TWRP bootloop, please help! [SOLVED]

All I did was do a reset to factory settings on my tablet, it rebooted and it's now in a TWRP bootloop?
I see the TWRP logo come on and then the screen goes black and then the TWRP logo comes on again?
Please help! I have no idea what to do???
I searched all over Google but couldn't find anything that worked?
This has happened to a lot of people: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...p-after-factory-reset-cyanogenmod-12-1-a.html
So, I'm going to make this warning REALLY BIG so this doesn't happen to you as well:
If you are running CyanogenMod 12.1 and TWRP recovery, then DO NOT ever do a FACTORY RESET.
You will break your tablet.
HOW TO FIX:
The only way I was able to fix this was to use Odin and put the stock firmware back onto the tablet.
Hello, can anyone help me, where to download the stock firmware.
I think, I'm having a same problem here. My boot screen are blank, right after the Title screen

Probably bricked, don't know what to do

Hey all,
So like about a year ago I installed twrp and rooted my one m8s and couldn't care less to update anything but everything was working fine.
Recently I bought a new phone so today I thought lets wipe the device and factory reset it. Well thats where it went wrong.
After the reset it tried to boot but was just stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo.
I then held the power + vol up, which triggered something and showed an other logo for a second then just going dark, but the device is still on and backlit.
I cant get out of this for some reason neither will the device turn off. When i connect it to my pc it gets recognized but I cant get into storage.
Also adb and fastboot won't see the device and the htc_fastboot.exe I got from here throws an adbwinapi.dll missing error.
I am really stuck on what to do and i was hoping maybe someone could help me out here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bart
EDIT: got the phone to turn off when the battery died and was able to boot into fastboot from there, lets see where this gets me.
EDIT #2: Welp I fixed it I suppose. If someone please could remove this thread since I can't

Oneplus 5t Stuck on logo and bootloader is locked (HELP PLEASE)

My one plus 5t is stuck on logo after an official update and the bootloader is locked.
Is there any way to unlock bootloader without access to OS (OEM unlock), so that I can flash any custom recovery?
Or any other solution from experts?
Use fastboot to OEM unlock.
Read up on some tutorials, this one is easy to fix.

I read this but they are saying that you have to go to setting and developer option to enable oem unlock first, but i cant access to my device because my device is stuck on logo screen.

I would suggest you do this first:
https://downloads.oneplus.com/oneplus-5t/oneplus_5t_oxygenos_5.1.1/
Then you should be able to boot to android again. Then tick the OEM lock button
Just enter stock recovery mode and do a wipe factory reset. If it doessnt work, just falsh official oxygen os and do the factory reset again.
If the reset doeesn't work there is a cheat that will work if encrypted and your data is backed up... Open the stock recovery which will require a password. Select the dont remember button at the bottom. It will warn you that procedding will wipe your phone. Do it. The recovery will wipe and reboot your phone with the stock image you just tried to flash. You WILL lose data.
If you cant access the stock recovery or TWRP you can boot either on your PC and perform a wipe from there. You can then move a stock image over to root and flash it with the stock recovery.
I have this same issue, stuck on one plus logo on boot. Can enter fast boot menu but can not enter recovery mode.
Do you still have that problem?
