How to get CID when computer can't detect phone? - HTC One X

So, after unsuccessfully flashing Lollipop to my HTC One X, I'm stuck. When I turn on the phone, I'm met with a looping "Resurrection Remix" logo that won't go away. I can boot into the CWM recovery menu, but any and all methods of restoring the phone via this menu have failed so far.
The main problem here is that my phone will only show up on my computer when I 'mount usb storage' through the recovery menu. When I try and run the 'fastboot getvar cid' command, though, it hangs on 'waiting for device' and nothing happens thereafter. I've seen that I need the correct CID so that I can get the right RUU for my phone....and even then, getting the right RUU seems to be difficult as well, with all the dead links I've seen scattered around.
I'm done with trying to get this new ROM to work, and I just want to go back to what I had on my phone. How the heck can I fix this one? I'll give you any information you need about the phone, but I just don't know how/what. Very new to all of this, and so very over my head!
Kind regards,
Jim.

I maybe wrong here as I'm not familiar with that ROM.
But your problem is wrong recovery. To install a lollipop ROM you need to use TWRP with New Layout.
CWM won't work.
You need to boot to bootloader to run fastboot command. While in recovery only adb command works.

There were multiple videos/tutorials that used this ROM with CWM, so that was why I used those 2 together. Anyways, I was indeed in fastboot when I was trying to get my CID.

In Resurrection Remix thread I read you need TWRP with new layout.
You should read the thread not some online videos/tutorials.
Try command fastboot getvar all
Also check your PC device driver show MyHtc not some warning

Simple steps to go :
1] Download Resurrection Remix 5.8.8 or any else of your choice
2] Download Twrp 3.0.2-0
-----Make sure you backup----
3]Open Twrp
4]Select Wipe
5] Advanced Wipe
6] Select everything
7] Wipe
8] Goto home of recovery
9] reboot to recovery again
10] Send the rom from pc to the phone
11] Flash!
12] Wait it to boot (first boot takes up to more than 15-45 mins)
:good:

Thank you ckpv5, I shall read threads in the future for sure. My device does show up as My HTC in Devince Manager, so it's seeing it there, just not in the cmd line.
Thanks DevUt. I had a look around for version 5.8.8 of Resurrection, but the only one I found was for a Lenovo device? Suffice it to say, I didn't want to use that one. I looked on the Resurrection site, and my device isn't actually listed at all....I then checked out CyanogenMod, and there IS a version available for the HTC One X. I think i'll go with this one. There is a very detailed wiki page on how to install it.
If (more like when) I run into any problems, i'll come back here!

you can try mone CM12.1 it's pretty good!
I myself use Resurrection remix 5.5.9 (sorry it was 5.5.8)
And please use the thanks button

Hmm, well if you're using RR 5.5.9, maybe I'll go with that, since I can at least get your support with it!
I have some questions about your instructions. (My questions are in brackets)
1] Download Resurrection Remix 5.8.8 or any else of your choice (do i simply transfer the zip file to the phone?)
2] Download Twrp 3.0.2-0 (same as above)
-----Make sure you backup---- (Do i need to do this, since I have nothing on my phone?)
3]Open Twrp
4]Select Wipe
5] Advanced Wipe
6] Select everything
7] Wipe
8] Goto home of recovery
9] reboot to recovery again
10] Send the rom from pc to the phone
11] Flash! (How do I do this?)
12] Wait it to boot (first boot takes up to more than 15-45 mins)
Also, i'm trying to find RR 5.5.9 and TWRP 3.0.2-0 but all the ones i find are *example* download RR 5.5.9 for (insert phone model here)
Are they actually different? Or are RR 5.5.9 and TWRP 3.0.2-0 the same, no matter which phone?
Again, thank you for your assistance and patience!

Bump.

Bump. Could really use some help with this.

Which help that you need ? If it's about the Resurrection Remix, unable to help.
First thing that we need to know whether your fastboot is working or not.
As I mentioned earlier, what happens when you type command fastboot getvar all after you connect your phone while in bootloader mode
(not hboot mode) ...
Here is mine as example ... can you get the same as these ?
(Of course with your device CID)
If possible then we can talk about installing TWRP with New Layout and ROM.
If not possible, you may need different set of HTC USB drivers.

BEFORE DOING THIS CHECK YOUR DRIVERS ,ADB CONNECTION AND FASTBOOT
Every rom and recovery are different for every Devices
You can search our forums and find out out huge collection
Backup is optional
Twrp 3 :: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x/orig-development/twrp-htc-one-x-t3429300
You can chose any ROM that says NEW LAYOUT
P.S first convert to new layout
Flashing = Clicking on the install button ,selecting the zip , and sliding the bar to install it
Check the the thread I gave to see how to install recovery
And last when you install the in the 10] step you need to transfer the rom
And don't worry this is one time investment as you go new layout ,you don't need to do all this steps

So you solved your first problem "How to get CID when computer can't detect phone?"
So what do you want to do next ? Back to stock as you mentioned on your first post ?

Most lollipop ROMs require TWRP with New Layout. They won't work on CWM recovery.

First - charge your device as your current battery-status is low.
Do you still have CWM recovery installed ? If yes .. just use it, transfer the stock ROM zip to your device after you mount usb storage while in recovery.
Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=20860
You can use either one ... odexed is pure stock, deodexed is modified stock and both are non-rooted
After downloaded the stock ROM zip, extract out the boot.img
If you don't have CWM recovery installed, I suggest TWRP - use this one : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911971082
fastboot flash recovery twrp2810-endeavoru-OldLayout.img
transfer the download stock ROM zip after you enable MTP (do it twice)
After you installed the ROM zip, boot to bootloader and install the extracted boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot - done.
If you prefer the nandroid backup method, let me know then I'll upload my stock non-rooted nandroid backup (but this will take time)

I couldn't charge my phone simply by plugging it into the computer. It would always boot to the bootloader and never charge. However, I found a script that loads the bootloader, then turns the phone off and repeats this process. Somehow it charges the phone, just very, very slowly. Once it has 3.68v of battery, apparently that will be enough to flash a recovery onto it. So I will wait until it has charged before I try your instructions.

Is your bootloader relocked ? You need unlocked bootloader to fastboot flash recovery.
You not yet answer my previous question.. do you still have CWM currently installed ? If yes, just use CWM to install the ROM zip.

It must be relocked. I will unlock it now. And sorry, I don't still have CWM installed. That's why i'm trying to put TWRP on there now

AFAIK ViperOne hasnt been made for the Verizon HTC One. can you point to where you downloaded the rom please?
but normally when this happens its a boot.img problem meaning the kernel is not working properly if you flash another rom that is offered in OUR dev section you should be able to boot no problem. as for media stuff, that should be in the internal storage

There is a general HTC One forum you may get better results in as you said this one is Verizon specific.. FWIW here is a link to the general HTC One forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one
but, to answer your question,
turn off the phone completely, (make sure fastboot is off in settings.apk)
then, hold volume down + power to get into bootloader mode, then from there you can fastboot flash an RUU for YOUR phone, make sure the RUU isn't made for another phone or it could brick, also make sure not to flash, radio, hboot, recovery, basically anything not made for your phone (aka files found in this Verizon forum)
Here is a good video of how to flash an RUU on the HTC One: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpA71FXddyU and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g5gEf2wgS4 are both good
(I prefer to use fastbootRUU, which is done by runnnig these commands in fastboot:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you don't have an RUU to run. that should still be just fine and probably easier, actually yea try this first, boot into bootloader, then either fastboot flash a custom recovery (if you don't already have one) and flash yourself a ROM made for your HTC One.
so is your phone from Verizon, it is just full unlocked from Europe? am I reading that correctly? If so, what does this mean? you are using a Verizon HTC One on a Europe carrier? Sorry, just a little confused on that part, hopefully this comes to some use to you.
Best of luck,
Andy
Thank you andybones .
I dont have RUU .
You said : "if you don't have an RUU to run. that should still be just fine and probably easier, actually yea try this first, boot into bootloader, then either fastboot flash a custom recovery (if you don't already have one) and flash yourself a ROM made for your HTC One "
How can I put another ROM on my phone ?because it`s not recognized by my computer ?
If I "wipe data / factory reset " from ClockWorkMOD Recovery, I will be able to restore the previous backup made with ClockWorkMOD Recovery?
And yes, my phone it`s from Europe but it`s unlock from factory .
Thank you very much .

You really need to be asking these questions in the forum section for the HTC One you bought, people here are familiar with the Verizon HTC One which is different from your HTC One. If you can find out which HTC One you have, I would be willing to bet that you can find the RUU's and other tools, such as something to remove the red text on your flash screen and get your phone booting again.
Like others have said, you need to get to the correct forum section for your device, regardless of what carrier you are using. This section is for the Verizon HTC One model only.
To answer your question about flashing recovery:
1. download the correct recovery for the device that you have, not Verizon
2. enter the bootloader
3. plug phone into computer
4. enter the command: fastboot devices
- if you dont see anything listed, you need to get fastboot working, and I won't get into that...
- if you do see your device listed, proceed
5. copy your recovery.img file to your fastboot working directory
6. enter the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery_file_name.img (with the correct file name of the recovery you downloaded for your specific device)
6. wait for your terminal/command prompt to say its done, should be just a few seconds
7. enter the command: fastboot reboot-bootloader
- make sure everything looks fine
8. use volume buttons to select the "recovery" option, and press power to select, which should reboot into recovery
With a little help from The Google I came across this - http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/ - Hopefully one of those will be the right one for you. Before you flashing or doing anything you should answer a few questions - Are you S-off or S-on? What model HTC One do you have? You should able to figure out a lot of this information from your Bootloader page, at the very least you should be able to tell the hboot, OS, CID and Radio versions, from that information you hopefully will be able to figure out which RUU you should be using.
The thing is that here i dont find my RUU , the radio version it`s not the same with my phone radio version .

This would be the RUU you want, as far as I can tell.
This would be the appropriate Recovery for that RUU version.

From what you are describing you installed the stock recovery, if you want to be able to access the recovery and install rom, backup/restore and more you need a CWM or TWRP Custom recovery. For these you need to make sure you get the right one for your model/version HTC One.

Power and volume up should get you a stock recovery menu...
If you are back to stock now and want to load a custom rom, then yes, you will need to reflash a custom recovery now.
you should not do an ota with custom firmware

[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.

H3G__001 stock lollipop nandroid

Hi im trying to update to lollipop on my 3 UK branded m8 but im having serious issues upgrading to 4.4.4 eye experience version 3.32.771.3 was wondering if anyone has or could get a nandroid of the stock 4.20.771.2 ROM. I can see an OTA in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 but I have no idea how to use those OTA files. Any help would be appreciated.
Post your fastboot getvar all result (minus serial no. & imei no.)
then we know which backup that you really need.
No point to give you 4.20.771.2 backup for now.

cool thanks. I tried your nandroid backup and it starts up fine but I cant connect to my wifi network. It sees the network but it wont connect. It does allow me to connect to another open network I can see but not my own. This happened on one of the stock updates I did too. Any ideas why this might be? or how it might be fixed?

There are two options :
1. Restore 3.32.771.10 backup and its stock recovery image then do OTA to 4.20.771.2
You can have all the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55322461&postcount=1897
Or
2. Reflashed the untouched 4.20.771.2 firmware that linked here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58781201&postcount=4598
but you need to relock bootloader in order to do that.
a. put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode
b. relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
c. run these commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 4.20.771.2_firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip 4.20.771.2_firmware.zip .....( again for the 2nd time)
fastboot reboot
d. check your wifi
For me .. 1st option is a better choice

so I tried option 2 first and that didnt work Then I tried option 1. Flashing 3.32.... worked ok wifi working etc. I then did the OTA that popped up. That flashed and it boots up but system ui force closes and wifi doesnt turn on at all Is there anyway to flash your OTA update specifically and avoid downloading and flashing the one that pops up on screen?

You can't flash OTA manually because your device is S-On.
When you have system ui force close and wifi doesn't turn on at all ... that's a good sign.
What you need to do now is unlock bootloader again with unlock_code.bin that you received from HTC. Then install TWRP 2.8.5.0. Boot to TWRP recovery, select mount - advance - format data - yes
Reboot - check your wifi again - system ui should work and wifi should work too.
Then restore my 4.20.771.2 backup (reason is when re-unlock bootloader and format data .. all data files such as calculator & flashlight & etc are removed)
EDIT : before you do the above, please try boot to recovery where you see the red triangle .. press & hold volume up & press power once.
In stock recovery, select factory reset/wipe data ... reboot

before I saw your message I did a factory rest from stock recovery as you suggested in your edit and system ui force close was fixed and wifi does turn on... but im back to the problem of not being able to connect to my wifi network. I've managed to connect to 2 separate open (public) networks fine but cant connect to mine for some reason. I cant understand why this might be happening.
Thanks for all the help by the way really appreciate it!
That's something I'm not familiar with as I never have that problem before. I read a few thread of this kind of wifi problem .. there are a few suggestions such as reset the router, try change wifi password and a few more like 2.4GHz & 5.0 GHz problem
Maybe someone else more familiar with this kind of problem will step in.

I had a look around and came across this http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/g...llipop-solve-wi-fi-problems-on-nexus-devices/ where it suggests changing wifi router channel. I did and it works
Cant thank you enough dude. i've tried to thank all your posts to reflect how many thanks you deserve! At one point when one of the software updates went bad and the screen wouldnt turn on I was told HTC would charge around £200 to fix it! so yeah, thanks
Great :good::good:
Will keep that in mind in case someone else has same problem

Lost RUU backup
Hi I to am trying to revert back to stock on my HTC one M8 (Three UK H3g__00)1 but I have lost my original backups do to an hdd fail the RUU files you posted on here I believe I could have used but the links no longer work
My phone is in a bad way at the moment it is softbricked with the latest version of CWRM on and no OS currently installed, is this why my version main appears blank?
My phone has ended up in this state after trying to install the latest android revolution rom (5.0.1). The rom seemed to install ok booted and setup fine but my Wifi wouldn't turn ON at all. After I rebooted the phone for the first time it got stuck in a boot loop.
I deally would like to get lollipop on the phone and doing some reading I believe with the situation I'm in I have to go back to stock and do the OTA updates to raise my hboot version to 3.18 or above, that way I could install cyanogen 12.1
Apologies for noob question still learning.

Hi ckpv5, thanks I will give this a try now, I did try to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 recently but when I tried to enter the recovery it just hung and I never figured out why. I will give 2.8.1.0 a go now.
Last night, just to get my phone working I flashed on cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m8 with open_gapps-arm-4.4-mini-20151203. It all seemed to be working fine and I liked the look and feel of the KitKat cyanogenmod but after I received my first phone call my phone speaker went crazy and gave some nasty distortion out, I rebooted the phone to stop it and now I have the noise on everything if I turn my volume up to mid/high, I'm worried my speakers are damaged. I followed a couple of threads to install the viperapp but with no success, any ideas on this one?
Cheers,
Thanks
CHeers ckpv5 Ifollowed the guide used the files and its all sorted now.
Looks like CM11 has damaged my bottom speaker though i have ordered a replacement.
I do have 1 last question, after all the updating i have now put cm12.1 on and it seems to be running ok however when im booted into the OS my SD card is not being detected. If i drop back into TWRP recovery it does recognise the SD card, any ideas? im searching for a solution now.
I can't comment anything on CM as I never use one .. no experience on CM .. sorry.

Try fastboot erase cache after install TWRP ...
Can you post your fastboot getvar all without serial & imei no. ?
Usually this error is related to partition problem .. maybe flashing the firmware, then TWRP follow by fastboot erase cache command can fix this.

First - a stupid question (because it happened before) - you do flash a correct version TWRP meant for HTC M8, right ? The one that you downloaded from https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
If the answer is yes for the above, try flashing firmware.
Get the firmware fw_6.16.708.1.zip and read how-to in my thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5
Then unlock the bootloader with the unlock_code.bin .. when successfully unlocked, the system will reboot but it will fail .. press both power + volume up button .. when the screen goes black, release both buttons but press and hold volume down button. This will get you to hboot, press power once to get to bootloader/fastboot ... flash TWRP then try to restore backup.

I fixed my problem with flashing the nandroid 4.16.708.1 with TWRP 2.8.7.0 but I have the same error that it makes me to flash my cellphone, I dont have signal and the cellphone doesnt show to me the imei, do you think if I put the imei in fastboot can it works? (Sorry for my english) and one more time thank you for all your support .

So .. that's your actual problem. If it is not hardware problem, you can fix this by flashing firmware as I mentioned above. A few people succeed to fix the same problem by flashing firmware.

Edit: Actually I know that xD sorry.
Man, you are amazing, thanks for your support , I did all your instructions and it works, my cellphone now has signal and all its correct, only one thing, the backup 6.16.708.1_ckpv5 maybe its wrong, I couldn't flash it, but it doesn't matter, I installed nandroid 4.xxx, thank you one more time , greetings!
Maybe the 6.x download is bad..
You can install stock recovery then check OTA to update from current 4.x

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.

What does "and such" mean? Did you wipe anything besides cache and Dalvik?

The MTP Device Driver is not installing on my PC for some reason. It is saying installation failed on the MTP Device window on my computer.

MTP device driver?
What does it say next to "OS" in your bootloader?
Also, if you can boot to recovery you should be able to restore a backup

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.

Ahhh, reding it a second time I realize you mean OS is blank in your bootloader. You should also update your TWRP version

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.

How did you pick a nanddroid backup to download, if you don't know the OS number?
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Also, what version TWRP?

You need to be more specific:
What version number of file name of the RUU you tried? Zip format or exe format? If zip format, did you flash by fastboot, or SD card method?
Did you get an error message, if so, what did it say exactly? If no error message, what was the mode of failure (what happened exactly - be detailed - at what exact point did the RUU fail, status of the phone, etc.)? Saying "It didn't work" doesn't give us any info to troubleshoot why it failed, or how to get it to work.
Also, you did not provide all the info requested (questions I asked you in my last response):

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.
