Hi guys. I have a problem with my M8 (international).
Start topic was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-boots-fastboot-factory-t2952954#post57042833 but I took an advice and open the same topic in general theme.
Hi everyone. I got a problem with my HTC M8.
First of all, I didn't make with it any changes (as unlock bootloader, root or installing any custom OS or recovery etc.) Week ago I left device, connected to PC for all night, and, I gess, with "bad" micro-USB cable.
Next day I couldn't boot this phone. I connected it to charger and after little time it was loaded to fastboot. But up today I can't do anything with phone: I can't unlock it, can't factory reset, can't boot to recovery etc...
I tried to find any same simptomes in google, but found nothing
As you can see on screenshots, I made steps for unlock bootloader but on device I didn't see notification about unlocking.

Could you help me with advices? Thanks.
I'm taking a bit of a guess but some how system has got wipe but that seems a bit off for a locked phone but since it's locked I would take it back to where you got it from and get them to sort it.

I would normally say the same. But the OP mentioned in another thread posted in the wrong forum section (linked in his post) that he bought from Canada but lives in Ukraine, so I think warranty is not valid. It would have been helpful for the OP to give all the relevant details in this new post.
I agree, it looks like his OS and possibly recovery have somehow become wiped, corrupted, or damaged. Not common for a stock device, but not unheard of, either.

Hi
I had a similar problem to you where I was stuck in fastboot mode and the only command it would execute was POWER DOWN and when switched back on it returned to fastboot mode. However I ended up in that state due to making a mistake in trying to unlock and root my phone. Also I believe my display showed the RADIO and OpenDSP details rather than the INVALID_VER_INFO that your's is showing.
I thought I had deleted the rom and recovery on my device and I had bricked my phone however I was able to recover my phone by getting a new unlocktoken from HTC and flashing it.
Once I had successfully unlocked my phone I had access to my rom and recovery.
I see from your first image that you tried to unlock your phone and it shows that 'unlock token check successful' but images 2 and 3 show that the phone is still 'LOCKED' so it may be worth going to the HTC site, get a new unlock token and try again.
If it doesn't work, it shouldn't do anymore harm either!
Best of luck.

Yes, I did this And in consol I saw that everything was fine, but on device I didn't see standart notification about unlocking.
A found some topics about "INVALID_VER_INFO" - and they said that it can be ok for some devices (guys checked this on their worked devices, booted to fastboot and saw the same).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715056 here is the topic about "INVALID...".
btw - I tried unlock phone after another man. He did the same - receive .bin from dev. HTC site etc. I did the same, but from another HTC dev. account and result was the same Phone didn't unlock.
It could be that the recovery has got messed up because I believe recovery is used to do it since unlocking will wipe data. The only things I can think of is a real ruu as in it full rom and firmware exe (good luck with that) or you could try just firmware ruu, riff box or HTC themselves.

I have the riff box but without needed pin-outs (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v0/...x-Flex-font-b-cable-b-font-for-Samsumg-LG.jpg I'm talking about these pin-outs). And my previous experience with riff box and Samsung S3 was not very good)))) I had been fixing it during 2 months

Hey man. Sorry but your problem not the same. You installed custom OS and it could be the reason of this. I install nothing. I have full stock device. And my problem not the same with your problem. Could you create new topic please?

Could anyone help with RUU process? What information I should have for correct RUU update? I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173 but I'm not sure that I have SPRINT device.
I need an information, how I can be sure, that I use correct file for RUU my HTC? Is it bootloader version, or operator version (Sprint, Verison etc.) or something else? As I wrote, I can open information about my phone in Fastboot (I can check my SN, CID, bootloader version etc.)

For a ruu to work it needs to have matching cid, guess mid and has to be same version or higher than what's on the phone. You can't flash the wrong one it won't let you.
Edit, also the one you linked to won't work.

Ok. And Can I flash version with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, for example? (I said that there are a lot of recovery but they are custom. Is it ok for me or I should find pack with all stock?)

Hey everyone,
new here and to rooting/flashing in general.
I've somewhat successfully converted my verizon M8 to work on Tmobile by using weaksauce 2.0 to root, then Sunshine to gain S-off. Flashed TRWP custom recovery with flashify, backed up my stock vzw setup (4.4.4), then flashed ViperoneM8 with tmobile extras to the phone. The phone works great 90% of the time on Tmo, with 4gLTE, mms, sms, wifi all working. But I will get random dropped general mobile service (no data, can't make calls, text won't go through). This is easily fixed with airplane mode toggle.
Sooo, I wanted to see how other roms work on my phone with Tmobile service, specifically ARHD 34.0 and/or change phone to developer edition and upgrade to Lollipop. But both roms require prerequisite upgrading of firmware. My phone won't let me change the firmware via ADB or RUU. I've tried changing to superCID and going back to relocked mode, but still won't work. I get error 155 when attempting to upgrade via RUU and cannot find firmware.zip when using adv/fastboot.
I came across an old thread about other rooted models that suggest upgrading the HBOOT. Can anyone verify this suggestion and guide me toward which specific HBOOT software to change to?
Thanks for the help,
-Ant

If your stock was 4.4.4, your firmware and hboot should be fine to run ARHD. I don't think that WWE firmware (x.xx.401.x) is compatible with T-Mo (x.xx.531.x). The firmware you have now (3.32.531.2?) will be fine.

I'll go ahead and try to flash ARHD 34 and see how it goes on TMo. It does say that firmware upgrade should be done prior. Think I'll run in to the wifi/network issues?

You shouldn't have wifi issues. ViperOne is building a Lollipop version right now, and 4.4.4 firmware works fine with it.
The ARHD thread does recommend a full wipe with the non-matching firmware/ROM base though.

OK cool. I'll give it a shot. I really like the Viperone rom, but it's just annoying to have a random loss of network a couple times a day and having to toggle airplane mode. Any thoughts on why that would be happening?

Oh man, what did you do? In your bootloader under OS is your firmware number. Is it still your old firmware? I don't know how you re-locked.
If you are in fastboot, type fastboot reboot-recovery and see if that works.

I was relocked previously trying to update firmware. I completely forgot to unlock it before the ROM flash. I would assume the ROM wouldnt flash though if the phone was relocked. I'm still S-off. Fastboot isn't recognizing the files i want to flash. Won't flash the unlock code. Wouldn't flash a zip file before when trying to update firmware. Can I somehow fix why fastboot isn't flashing files, then try to use unlock code?
possible progress?? I wasn't in the correct file to fastboot flash files. I moved the unlock code download to the correct file as flashboot, then flashed it. It says "unlock token check successfully." but now it seems the phone is stuck in white htc screen. Is it ok to power down the phone when in this screen? maybe loading the software from new ROM?
so I went ahead and powered down the phone. Still S-off. Now has UNLOCKED banner, but behaving the same. Stuck in bootloader loop. Won't allow me to get into recovery

Okay. Being S-Off you don't need to lock your bootloader to flash firmware. But since you were trying to flash Developer Edition firmware, you would have to flash a stock Dev Ed backup first, and change your MID and CID.
Leave your phone plugged into your PC.
Go here and follow the option 2 instructions. You want the APP/EXE version to download. It should fix you up.
where do you people come from..you're a self proclaimed noob who has executed an unsupported carrier switch, which ends up with a half functional device as a result.. and then you decide to crank the up the hilarity to warp drive stupid by flashing ANOTHHER unsupported ROM combination on top.
the random signal dropping is most certainly a result of this conversion as I have a couple of related support tickets saying the same.
you should be thankful that unholy is so patient and willing to help.. and that we know he has nothing better to do

I think you're right. I've tried to search how to change modelid via fastboot since I can't boot the phone to run adb, but all the tutorials seem to be based on using adb. Is their a way to change via fastboot only?
SUCCESS! Well, I was able to reinstall TWRP via the appropriate adb/fastboot commands and flash my nandroid backup.
Unholy, I know you mentioned doing this command, but I did not know I had to put the .img file name within that command....result of being such a noob. You were awesome and I greatly appreciate you help.

I tried installing custom ROM's, but so far ARHD 22 didn't even boot and LiquidSmooth couldn't detect the SIM card at all.
I know there are quite a few tutorials and "how-to" threads explaining all you need to know about RUU, cusotm ROM's, etc. However if someone could tell me what exactly to do and in which order (return to stock, then update?) I would greatly appreciate it.

Easiest way to get it back to stock is just flash the Sprint H/K RUU. You can download it from HERE. Just run it and connect your phone when prompted and follow the instructions (I'd probably change your CID back to the Sprint one first to be on the safe side but as you're S-OFF it shouldn't be needed). You might also need HTC Sync Manager installed. If so, you can get it HERE
This process will wipe the phone completely so back up any data first but other than that you'll at least be back to stock and then troubleshoot any issues from there
Thanks
Many thanks to everyone.
Any chances of loosing the SIM UNLOCK when going back to stock completely?
Nope, that shouldn't be touched but as I've not had a SIM-locked device in years I can't say for certain

Why not 34? Lol Sprint is up to date on its software you could just update to the lollipop firmware, and I could pull some of the files I've got to see if I can help you get it running, I'm on Leedroid right now so the process should be the same for ARHD.

You can or you can go to the Sprint android development and flash the updated recovery since you are s-off and it'll permit you to flash lollipop roms without many issues but there is still the files that need to be modified for ARHD to work correctly like the boot.img and a few others.

I just installed ARHD, everything went well and when it rebooted, the phone won't turn on... just black screen.
Any ideas??

Power+vol up for about 15 seconds then power+vol down to get into recovery. You cant flash it unless you swap out Sprint specific files otherwise you'll get what just happened or boot directly into boot loader.
Like I mentioned I can pull the files together and see if I can get it working for Sprint tonight when I get home but until then flash either fluent Rom or stock if you want lollipop or just flash bad boyz if you don't mind kitkat

Many thanks!
For me, the biggest issue is the mobile data breakdowns... I know I read somewhere a while ago it was an issue with some Sprint M8 models. I would like to get everything working w/o problems since it is GSM unlocked, and via QPST I unlocked all the bands.

Also, I just found some official EU RUU's with different radio's as far as I can tell from the filename.
Maybe that could be the final solution to all the problems?
Please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, i searched but what little i found didnt seem to helpful (maybe im just confused) i want to flash the new Viper rom but it says i need 4.4.4 firmware, my rooted htc only has 4.4.2. How do i update it? I am scared of bricking my new phone so could someone please explain it to me like i am stupid? I used the all_in_one_toolkit (wonderful program!) If it matters..... also i flashed twrp cause there was no OTA att update found (checked twice)

1) Mods won't like you posting a question in the Dev thread... there are specific sections (general, firmware, etc) where you can post it...
2)Considering that your phone is practically new, if you only rooted it and haven't installed a custom recovery, you will be able to update your firmare (OTA) through the built in upgrade process on your phone. Once, that is done, root your phone and install a custom recovery like TWRP.
good luck

Yes, I sure do.
First of all, if you want the newest ViperOne, you'll want 5.0.1 firmware, at least.
Hook up to you PC. Get into ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all.
Post the readout here, and I, or someone else, will point you in the proper direction to update your firmware.
Please make sure to delete the serial# and IMEI from the readout. Never post those in a public forum.

Have you never used ADB or fastboot before?
Okay. This will update your firmware. Backup anything important to you, because this will wipe your phone.
Go here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-att/news/
Scroll down to where it says "Manual system update instructions". Read what it says, then click the download link at the bottom.

Not by itself, i dont think so anyways... I just followed a youtube vid on how to use the all-in-one-tool kit program... I figured less room for error risk?
Thank you for the link! Will have to reroot and unlock it after the update and stuff like that?

Yes, but that's easy. Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash a rooted ROM, such as ViperOne.
Also, I recommend not using one click toolkit methods. They often cause problems, plus doing it manually is easy and gives you an introduction to ADB and fastboot, making it less intimidating.
I don't know how to do it manually =( last time I tried I hard bricked my m7

You need to re-lock your bootloader first if you are not S-Off.
Get back into fastboot and do fastboot oem lock, then leave your phone connected, and run the RUU again.

You have an AT&T phone, right? That's what it says in the title. And that download link I gave you is from HTC's official website for the latest AT&T RUU.

I don't know.
Maybe you don't have the drivers installed on your PC.
Go to Device Manager with your phone connected. You should see that your M8 is connected.
If you don't see it in Device Manager, download HTC Sync Manager and run it to install the drivers. After that, uninstall HTC Sync. It doesn't play nice with ADB and fastboot. The drivers will remain.
Then go to Device Manager and confirm that your phone is listed there when connected..

I really don't know what's going on here.
I do know that if you were to go S-Off, updating your firmware is a piece of cake. You just need to find the firmware.zip and flash it.

I'm stuck and need help, Does anybody know what I should do from here?
Please consider me as a newbie, a detailed instruction would be much appreciated! ^^ (I get confused very easily)
Thank you in advance!

OTA updates don't work when you're rooted. You'll have to unroot first.

IF he does 'unroot', ota will fail to install.

Agreed, need getvar info, in order to advise further.
In particular, some versions (like some US variants) won't get OTA updates in other countries/carriers outside US. Some versions have RUU which can be used to update, while some don't. Therefore we need more info about the device in order to advise further.
