HTC One M8 frozen - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks.
I have searched this forum for assistance to my problem. Although i have read issues which are similar to mine, however, i'm still not able to find definitive instructions.
My problem is that two phones i have acquired - HTC One M8 and HTC One M9 are both stuck on the HTC logo screen. However, I can get into the Bootloader screen (power + vol down instructions from the forum), but that's as far as my knowledge takes me. I am not a complete novice, so am prepared to follow instructions, and am aware of the risks involved.
May be i should've posted in the M9 forum too??
The Bootloader screen for the M8 shows:
*** Software status Official ***
*** LOCKED ***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-1.29.214500021.12G
OpenDSP-v51.2.2-00593-M8974_F0.1015
OS-6.12.401.4
eMMC-boot 2048MDec 17 2015,14:15:48.0
And the M9 shows:
hTC download mode
*** UNLOCKED ***
htc_himauhl PVT S-ON
LK-1.0.0.0000
RADIO-01.01_U11440792_97.00.51203G_F

OS-3.35.401.12
Dec 16 2015,15:37:25(671758)
Now, what confuses me, is the jargon been thrown about in the forums - supercid, twrp, firmware, rom, recovery, fastboot, ruu, s-on, s-off, stock, custom, root....etc. I have an idea of what these terms may mean, but i want to be 100% certain.
So, my question is, can someone provide me with laymans instructions (or point me in the right direction), on how i can get the phones back to UK factory default state so they work again please. Even basic instructions and i will do all the research.
What do i need to download, and where do i download too, do i need to use SD card, which program to install UK software with............etc. I have seen many instructions, but there doesn't seem to be an accompanying explanation as to what these files or programs do.
Finally, please excuse me for the long boring (probably tedious) explanation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is what I would suggest (discuss only the M8 in this tread; and make a separate thread in the M9 forum section, only discussing the M9). Its going to confuse the issue, discussing both phones in the same thread.
The M9 is a completely different piece of hardware, so its best not to lump it together in the same conversation.
You'll find a lot more folks in the M9 forum, with specific knowledge of that device. Folks on this forum section will know about the M8, but may or may not know anything about the M9 (I sure don't).

Hello.
Thank you for your response.
OK so these are the steps i have followed for the HTC One M8. Please let me know if they are correct.
1. I already have Android SDK on my windows pc.
2. I downloaded and install htc sync manager.
3. I downloaded RUU file from this link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_464360_signed.zip
4. I downloaded htc_fastboot.exe from this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8L...dKVEdHX1U/view
5. Copied the two downloaded files into the platform-tools folder of my android sdk.
6. I renamed 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_464360_signed.zip
to RUU.zip
7. I opened command window here and typed the following:
fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboot to bootloader to ensure the connection is good)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (put the device in RUU mode)
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (to install RUU)
First command is a success
Second command is a success
Third command fails with following output:

Not sure what to do now!
Thanks very much.

@redpoint73
OK, sorry about this. I guess i should've known.
I will post my problem with the HTC One M9 on the M9 forum.
Cheers for that.

Did you follow the instruction correctly ?
HTC USB drivers - Install HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/softwa...c-manager.aspx
- it will install the needed drivers then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager but leave the drivers.​
There are 3 different method to install RUU zip - read and pick one and try again.

Thank you very much, really appreciate it. You are a star!
Just one question, is it the same process for the HTC One M9? (of course the RUU will be different)
I am heading over to the M9 forum now.
Thanks again.

It's best to ask there. The microSD & ARUWizard methods will be different.
The htc_fastboot flash same process but you may need htc_fastboot for M9.

I don't get it. Your bootloader says that the software status is official (which means no modification) but for some reason your phone had gone into a bootloop. I would like to learn more about Android and help this community can anyone tell me why this happens?

that's happened for some people now anyone receive the latest OS by OTA have this issue it solved by flashing RUU
I believe it's something conflicting in the system after OTA
Sent from my HTC M8 using XDA Labs

Previously, i successfully managed to flash my M8, great.
Unfortunately i did not put my sim in the M8, as i needed to copy contacts from my sim (i shouldn't have saved on sim ;-/ ) and wanted to get my M9 sorted too.
Anyway, today i put in my sim EE UK into the M8 and it cannot get a network connection. In fact I tried other UK sims too (VF UK, O2 UK, Three UK) and none were able to connect to their respective networks.
One other thing i noticed when i dialled *#*#4363#*#* and selected Phone information, is that Set preferred network type shows WCDMA. I changed this to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, but after a restart, again it showed WCDMA.
Can someone make any sense of this please?

Computer won't connect to phone with updated drivers.

So yeah I think I really screwed the pooch on this one.
Here's what's going on.
-My stupid self tried to flash CM10 with a HBOOT v 1.14. Yeah... save it. I know.
-Now I've gotten so far into this thing that my computer won't recognize my phone in order to utilize fastboot to total wipe and retry to run the RUU.
-Computer has been updated with current drivers. I can get into bootloader, but anything I try after that is unable to be done. Cannot get into recovery, if it's even still there. I tried to reflash TWRP, unsuccessfully. When I try to even boot into recovery, it gets stuck on HTC's boot splash screen.
CID: 1111111

I am totally lost on this. I just want to get it back working ASAP.

Hi, need some help

Ive been reading this section of the forum for 2 nights now. read various threads and none the wiser.
Ive unlocked my htc one x using the windroid htc one app which worked fine, but installing a rom was not as easy. now < i admit, i dived in and installed a ROM without seeing what else it needs to work ( am used to flashing nexus roms) and now its stuck at the HTC screen. Now i've tried various ways to rectify the proplem. uisng various roms, flashing boot.img before flashing the rom, no go. tried older roms, no go.
I know the hboot needs updating, but without a cid id then i cant find a matching firmware.zip.
Ive tried to do a RUU boot by locking the bootloader but get this:

thanks for your help that got the phone back to booting properly
I flashed it and it worked. I got myself back to the latest update. Now i tried various roms again as i'm one for experimenting but some of the newest ones dont seem to want to work.
ones i've tried>
Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_33.1
HTC_One_X_-_MaximusHD_21.0.0
OneX The Next Chapter! v1.2
but none of them worked for me.
So i went lower with
cm-10.1.3-endeavoru which worked
then updated to
cm-10.2.0-endeavoru and flashed the boot.img for it to work.
Now for the other roms, what am i missing? is it the firmware.zip? hboot level?
Am bowing down to Thant, and hoping he can tell a mere minion what he's doing wrong
I don't think you updated far enough ! Post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar version-main

I see thant is offline, so i chip in......

cyanogenmod stable rom not recognising sim, and not being recognised by htc sync
Hi i just unlocked and rooted my phone. one of the first things i did after having rooted it was go into rom-manager and download the highest rated cyanogen mod stable rom...expecting it to reboot itself and do the update automatically once id downloaded the file i was suprised when nothing happened...so i put it into recovery mode myself and searched the phone's storage for the rom file...it was infact two files, one the rom, the other gapps...i installed both of them and rebooted the phone...at first i was left on cyanogenmod bootloop...after a few restarts, and factory resets, i eventually got past the cyanogen mod intro wheel, to its actual introduction *asking me to choose a language*, as soon i choose my language i get notification asking me to insert my simcard (it already is, OF COURSE...), as i go through the rest of the setup there is no network coverage or internet..so i cant simply download rom-manager and try another flash..it also wont come up as a recognised device on my macbook...ive downloaded another flash of cyanogenmod on my laptop along with a new gapps, but im utterly lost about what to do now...i cant even put them on the phone....

the reason i'm so frustrated is aside from the supposedly stable build of cyanogen mod i downloaded in rommanager not working, the rom doesnt recognise my sim, i dont have access to the internet, so i cant simply download a new rom to flash straight from rom manager...as well as this the wifi doesn't seem to work on this flash...and to make matters worse it's not being recognised by the drivers...i'm using htc sync manager..when i plug in the phone it will open htc sync manager but wont show that a phone is paired to my macbook
...when u say manually can i do this directly from my phone or do i need to connect it to a computer?
You must connect it to PC..And then go to fastboot and flash boot.img file..Then you will have signal,wifi etc..

its not being recognised as a device since i flashed the *cyanogen mod stable rom*...i plugged it to my computer though, and put it into fastboot and it says FASTBOOT USB...the options it gives me from here are
HBOOT
REBOOT

Here is guide how to use ADB on macbook:

yep fastboot oem lock
Then it might be easier to flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot to 1.39. Then you can flash any rom you want, and there is also a ruu for that. Sorry i have no time to explain now (heading home from work)
Look for the firmware placeholder thread, read the instructions and download the 3.14.401 firmware.zip from there.

Then it might be easier to flash the 3.14.401 firmware to upgrade the hboot to 1.39. Then you can flash any rom you want, and there is also a ruu for that. Sorry i have no time to explain now (heading home from work)
Look for the firmware placeholder thread, read the instructions and download the 3.14.401 firmware.zip from there.

i already had the ota 3.14.401 and got the firmware.zip from there.
its installed fine and i now can put most roms onto it.
:victory: thank you Mr Hofs
So i get this right in my head. The phones firmware.zip needed updated so it would update hboot and other things.
Now to flash roms is the procedure to flash the boot.img contained inside first then install the rom <----which is they way ive being doing it

[Q] [RUU] Error: 152. Unable to Restore TMob One M8

Hi, thanks for reading.
I was running the latest version of CM on my One M8. Decided I wanted to revert to stock ROM to regain HTC camera and wifi calling functionality. Figured an RUU would be the easiest way.
Here's where I probably screwed up. Downloaded and ran the RUU for ver. 2.xxx from HTC. Forgot to relock bootloader, but it rebooted early back into CM no problem. Relocked bootloader. Ran again.
I should have known to pause when I saw that my version was 1.5xx but it seemed fine with updating versions as part of the process.
Then it failed again, error 152. Was able to reboot into CM again this time.
I did some googling and reading and saw one guy say that he was able to fix by simply running the RUU again once it was in the "four exclamation marks in triangles" screen, which is where I was after the next try, so I ran again. Another error 152.
So finally I realized maybe I needed the 1.5xx RUU. DL'd that, tried running, "error, wrong version." Because now it thinks my phone is on ver 2.xxx.
Now I can't get the phone to boot into recovery or into bootloader. No clue where to go from here. I'd really appreciate your help. Gosh I screwed up.
The last lines in the RUU log (1.5xx) are:
Code:
<T205408><DEBUG><OUT>Execution time is 6(s)</OUT>
</DEBUG></T205408>
<T205408><DEBUG><OUT>FAIL43 main version check fail</OUT>

and the prior try, RUU log 2.xx:

Update 1: can recognize device using "fastboot devices" but not "adb devices." haven't tried pushing/pulling anything yet. Saw someone in another thread tried installing via command line. Not sure which .zip I should use, as there are a ton of options on XDA, or if this is what I should try next.
Update 2: there are seemingly two versions of the "four exclamation points" screen: one is dim and has the orange led showing and the other is bright without led. Bright without LED is what I got after "flashboot reboot-bootloader". Worried that the bright one may deplete battery.
3: Since I can't otherwise boot into a recovery, should I try to flash a recovery?

9: Used a zip repair to repair those RUU .zip's. Noticed that their android-info files have "hbootpreupdate:12" but my phone has "hbootpreupdate:11" might that be an issue?
Sad Edit: I tried some stuff, nothing seemed to work. Freshly downloaded from an alternative mirror the 2.2xx RUU and booted into RUU via fastbooth before running it. Everything said it went perfectly "CONGRATULATIONS ROM UPDATED! Rebooting!" etc.
My phone is bricked. Never woke up from that reboot. My computer keeps trying to recognize the device via usb, but nothing.
I didn't think you could use unsigned zips with s-on. Also you couldn't flash stock recovery because your boot loader was locked. If your boot loader wasn't locked it would be worked. So it doesn't show anything in fastboot anymore? Have you tried charging it them plugging back up to computer to see if fastboot will recognize it again?

Yeah I tried unlocking the bootloader while fastboot was still recognizable, but it wouldn't work.
Not sure about the unsigned zips thing. Would that also go for the RUU? I thought those were signed/straight from HTC.
I'll try it once more, but it should have been fully charged last time I gave it a try. Computer shows an intermittent "QHSUSB_Bulk" but not sure where to go from there. Found threads for other HTC phones and tried their methods, but it got to the point where the one guy was supposed to go through Ubuntu to manually install individual .imgs to the phone, but I think he had somehow managed to get fastboot to work.
Ruu is straight from HTC they are .exe files. If it is an ruu.zip I think that only works with s-off. Hm I'm not sure what do to either, I was thinking maybe it just needed to force reboot then press power and volume down for hboot/fastboot I don't understand why it wouldn't just reboot.

Yeah it's especially weird because I thought with S-ON it was supposed to be hard/impossible to override ?boot.ini (not sure, don't quote me on that) anyway. But yep, won't boot at all.

[Q] AT&T M8. Worst case scenario, basically. Phone recoverable?

****ed up and didn't read things properly. I was trying to revert my phone to stock with an HTC RUU, that didn't work, and in haste and anger I set S-ON. On a device running CyanogenMod.
The threads I found on the subject weren't entirely helpful, so I'm here now, hoping I don't have to explain to HTC why I'm dumb. My device boots immediately to fastboot:

Delete your IMEI and serial number. Those are personal data, which should never be posted on open forums.
Which RUU? Only an AT&T RUU will work unless you modify MID/CID by s-off.
An AT&T RUU should work.

Thanks, I'll make sure to edit those out if I post again. A mod did that this time, hooray.
It was an AT&T RUU. At one point, I installed a stock GPE ROM and might have changed my MID, but don't quite remember. I remember that I changed my CID, but changed it back for the AT&T RUU. Judging by this thread, my MID is an "AT&T, unlocked, developer ID", so I guess it'll work.
If it helps, the specific RUU I used was named RUU_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_ATT_SECURITY_Cingular_US_1.58.502.1_Radio_1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2. I downloaded it from HTC.

That RUU will fail, since it corresponds to hboot 3.16; and with s-on you can't run an RUU with a lower number hboot than is installed on the phone (3.18 in your case). Any other RUU except that one should work. You can find the other RUUs on my AT&T specific Index thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Bad news first: the only RUU in that thread (the 4.4.4 one from HTC) that I could have used didn't work and gave me an unknown error (155). The other executable was the one I was already using and all the others require a microSD card, which I don't own.
Good news instead: This was fixed by... unlocking my bootloader again. Once I did that, my phone booted into CWM which was still installed and then booted into Cyanogenmod which was still there due to all the failed RUUs not doing anything. Hooray!
Thanks for the help, redpoint.

You actually never mentioned what the original issue with CWM was. Did it not boot?
I think relocking the bootloader wipes the phone. So maybe that was all that was needed to get CWM to boot.

Being rooted or not has no bearing on OTA update.
Also, it seems that you are trying to tell the OP to root (not completely clear, with the 2 word post), when he clearly states he is already rooted.

OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)

Okay thank you so far!
But now it comes up with a different error; It says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents".
Let me tell you the whole story:
Some time ago i installed busybox, xposed and xprivacy (and luckypatcher) and used it normaly.
Then the Lollipop update came around and since it wasnt working (giving out the unexpected contend error) i thought it would be a good idea to just do a factory reset.
It didnt work afterwards either, so i went here to ask what the problem was, and i was told it was because of xposed.
However, xposed wasn't installed anymore (the app), and (i think) the newer versions installed it somewhere else, so installing and then uninstalling (the button in the app) it didnt delete the old directory. (Btw. in an last attempt i tried installing the stick recovery and got the wrong one apparently)
So yeah, i have no idea on how to fix this problem, but i would be okay with having to reset my phone.

That's expected
There are a few methods to solve your problem.
The easiest one is RUU it back to stock.
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
You need to relock bootloader and also make a backup of your internal storage files/pic/music or whatever you like to keep.
The RUU will update your device to the latest

You don't have S-Off - that's why you need to relock bootloader
That's the only difference - read the thread thoroughly.
First step - relock bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
then follow the step 3 onwards
Also note you need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the usual fastboot.exe
Anything you need to ask, you can ask there. I believe @EddyOS will gladly help you

Wrong stock recovery image.
OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)
Get the right recovery image, OTA will proceed.
I have one here - 3.28.401.9_recovery.img : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/3.28.401.9_recovery.img/download

I believe you do know this is M8 thread and not HTC Desire 820n
But .. this is what you can do to fix your problem ...
Check for OTA as usual, download OTA then select install later.
Connect your device to PC then copy the OTA zip from internal storage\download folder to PC
Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip. Open firmware.zip and extract out recovery.img <--- this is the one that you need.
Boot your device to bootloader
Fastboot flash this extracted recovery.img
Reboot, check for OTA again, this time select install now
Done
I'm sorry for posting here but i did it and it's not working when i'm flashing the recovery i tooked it from the OTA it's give me error when flashing it the update is lollipop and i'm on kitkat 4.4.4
