[Solved] HTC One M8 problems after attempting to root - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I attempted to root my HTC One M8 a few months ago and I got completely stuck and soft bricked my phone.
I now just want to try to get it working any way I can (back to stock or rooted whichever is easiest)
My bootloader is unlocked
I have S-ON (and I'm not sure of the best method to gain S-OFF if this is required, as there is a lot of conflicting information)
and I have TWRP v2.8.7.0 installed (I know this must be an old version now)
My region is United Kingdom/ carrier EE
Can anyone please advise me how I might be able to get my phone working again? (back to any working state is fine)
If this is any help... when I do fastboot getvar all, this is the information which comes up
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.29.214500021.12G

You have European version htc m8 .
The easiest method is running a RUU for going back to stock .
Relock your bootloader .
Go to bootloader
Give command
Fastboot oem lock
Download this RUU
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
Rename it 0P6BIMG.zip
Place it in sd card
Boot to bootloader
It will automatically read the ruu file and proceed with instructions.
HiT Thanks if SomeBody Helps you..

Thanks so much for the fast reply and perfect solution!!!

Hi sonnu0100.
I am in the exact same position as TMJay, however the only difference for me is that my CIDnum is "orange001".
Do you know which RRU I can use as the one you've provided for TMJay doesn't work for me. The error I receive is:-
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Device halted due to Large Image update fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot"
My issue isn't as a result of me flashing things without care. I think there is an onboard memory problem as when I was using my M8 as my primary phone last year (before my HTC 10) it lost the OS without me doing anything. I was able to recover and get a working device again but can't remember what I did. I've gone to hand the phone to someone else to use and it's seemingly died again.... could just be erroneous.
Help appreciated.
Many thanks,

Hi,
For info, I've found a solution by referring to this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
So I'm back up and running with a working phone for now at least .
Cheers

First of all, get rid of your serialno as well as your imei.
Second of all, what!?!
Exactly what is your problem?
I will help/guide you.
But what you posted doesn't really tell the problem you are having.
The getjar is so unnecessary.
NOOBS PAY ATTENTION TO THAT LAST LINE
Just post your issue, and if the person helping you needs more info; AND ASKS FOR A GETJAR, that's when you post it.
So........
Exactly what is your issue?
I got the phone in htc logo mode. When I went recovery mode it was in to some custom recovery. I then check the info of phone using fastboot. What got in fastboot is posted above. According to fastboot info the phone had main version as 2.22.771.5 so I download the ota version and renamed it to OP6BIMG and put it in sd card. And tried to flash the phone using sd card. But all I get is no image or wrong image . Please help this out for me. Thank you for your feed your reply
my phone gives me this
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 3.18.0.000
RADIO - 1.19.21331147A1.09G
OS - 2.22.771.5
ITS STUCK ON HTC LOGO I CAN NOT FIND THE CORRECT RUU TO BRING IT TO LIFE, CAN SOME ONE HELP ME ON THIS ISSUE.

You can't manually install OTA.zip when your device is S-On.
You need stock recovery installed then let the system download and install the OTA.

From what I know the ota checks your current version to confirm before it will install. The ota would be looking for version 4.16.401.13, your WAY behind on updates. You're on 1.54.401.9. You need to get onto 4.16.401.13 either by taking ota updates in sequence or, because you're s-off, find and run the 4.16.401.13 ruu.
If that's not completely accurate I'm sure someone will put it right.
Its not ota file .. I use to install rom ( 0P6BIMG ) by sdcard

I would still advise updating in sequence from your version to latest. @Sneakyghost recently posted on his firmware thread about updating sequentially.

Tried to install VemonOne and now have a messed up phone with no OS

Ok, i tried to install VenonOne, it installed first time but my wifi didnt work, so i searched around and found out i needed to update my firmware, which needed S-off, which i cant becuase i dont have the money for sunshine. and problem after problem and following half arsed tutoials online solved nothing. i can only go to bootloader and recovery. not sure what to do,
i have twrp installed
Im a D*ck head and didnt make a backup becuae it 'looked easy enough'
any help would be great. would like to be using venomone but atm any os will do
Every rom i install cause the wifi to not work, i press to turn it on and nothing
Thanks guys

You probably realize it at this point; but my rule of thumb is always make a backup before flashing anything (or at a minimum, have a known good backup or known good ROM ready to flash). Its got nothing to do with how "easy" a process is. Things can go wrong even with the simplest mods, to the most knowledgeable users, and even if you do nothing wrong.
You don't need s-off to update your firmware.
Either run a Lollipop (or Marshmallow) RUU intended for your CID (relock bootloader in order to RUU). Keeping in mind that this will wipe the phone.
Alternately (such as if there is no RUU for your version), restore a stock ROM that corresponds to your current firmware, restore corresponding stock recovery. Then do OTA update, which will also update your firmware.
After updating the firmware by either of the 2 above methods, just flash TWRP back onto the phone (in case of the RUU method, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, before you can flash TWRP) and flash your custom ROM of choice.
If you do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial numbers) we can offer some more specific assistance.
thanks for taking your time to help,

The problem is, i dont have Wifi, everytime an error occurs (Failed to load drivers). With SunShine i need a working internet connection, which i dont have. And at the Android 5 Stock ROM i dont even have Mobile internet.

Hboot 3.18
i believe your wifi issue is because you have an outdated firmware ( kitkat ) i think
so you need to flash the latest firmware ( marshmallow ) then flash the latest twrp ( 3.0.2-0 ) and flash your rom or restore stock backup ( 6.12.114.4 )
then you can achieve s-off ( if you need it for something else )
Here is the links
signed firmware 6.12.114.4
https://mega.nz/#!7YxCib7b!DqW43XSROE7ZlpTykZP8mItSe8MyrFCI969TVtkpeIs

Yep, was thinking bout that too, looked at my gfs firmware and hboot and saw that she had 3.19hboot und 1.29 Firmware. So updated the firmware and it worked!

You can't just flash any M8 RUU. They are version dependent, meaning only the RUU intended for your device's CID/MID will work. Further, there is no officially available RUU in .exe format for your CID. But you can flash the zip version, by carefully following the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
