Can't flash new recovery or wipe ( encrypted ) - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have twrp installed but it won't wipe the phone. I even tried putting the wrong passcode in 30 times to force wipe but it just doesn't wipe. When I flash a new recovery it says success but go back into the phone the same twrp is there!
I read I need a Rec that doesn't check if it's encrypted? I.e in twrp can't mount data.
So how do I get round it?
Originally a uk orange/ee phone but was unlocked any network and rooted etc

try flashing twrp version 3 link http://www.mediafire.com/file/f08vn6klszuwqu5/twrp-3.1.0-0-m8.img In TWRP, under "Wipe" menu, there is "Format Data" function, which will effectively remove the encryption from the device. hope thats work for u .

I have the same problem. I already unlocked the bootloader and try to flash a recovery. Even if I use ClockWorkMod or TWRP 2.7.0.2, it says that everything is fine, but when I try to start the recovery mode it always goes back to the fastboot mode. What can I do? I am using the HTC One 2014 (M8) All in one toolkit.

"Even if I use" What does that mean exactly? Did you try others (the statement somewhat implies you did)? Please try to be as detailed as possible when asking for help, instead of making us guess what you've tried, or what you mean.
Clockworkmod never officially supported this device. There are some unofficial builds, but they haven't been updated in maybe 2 years. This in itself will cause problems on any device with remotely current firmware. Plus, even if it was able to boot into CWM, it isn't compatible with many of the current ROMs (if that is what you want).
Similarly, TWRP 2.7 is really old. It won't work properly on any M8 devices unless the firmware is really old (like Kitkat old). So that may be your problem right there.

You should drop the toolkit. It hasn't been updated for over 2 years, and can cause problems in itself. Flashing recovery is a single, easy command. Using the toolkit just introduces another unnecessary possible (and probable) point of failure.
Try the following:
fastboot erase cache
Then try to fastboot flash TWRP version 2.8.7.0 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Also, for the best possibility of us helping you, do:
fastboot getvar all
Then post the output (delete IMEI and number before posting, as these are personal info).

Thx for your fast reply!

Your device is NOT M8 .. anything for M8 won't work on it.

[Q] My HTC One X stucked on the 'Quietly Brilliant' screen.

Hi everyone!
I'm a noob I do admit first of all.Recently I wanted to flash custom roms on my phone.So essentially I had to unlock the bootloader first.I managed to do that and even get the CWM recovery.img to flash.I installed CM10 Nightly but I got a bootloop.As I found out,I needed to flash the compatible boot.img for it to boot up.But here's the thing.I was pretty sure I flashed the right img,but now it just stays on the white 'Quietly Brilliant' screen.After locking and unlocking the phone again,it was supposed to reboot and start normally right? But that wasn't the case for me.Now it's stucked on the 'Quietly Brilliant' screen and doesn't boot up.I can go to the bootloader and CWM recovery,but apparently there's nothing for me to backup from there.All the error message I got was "no such file"
This was yesterday and I left the phone to charge for the whole night.This morning I saw the LED light indicates it's fully charged but I'm still stucked on the same screen.What can I do to solve this? I can't even mount usb from the CWM recovery to do manual installation of roms or files..Please can anyone help me?
I'm using an iMac and my phone is the international One X.And what is a RUU? Do I need that now and how do I get it and know if it's the right one? I need this phone to be up ASAP as I'm using it for work too.Ya,I don't have a spare phone.Please help.Thanks a million,much appreciated.
Did you erase cache from fastboot?
Fastboot erase cache
I'm pretty sure it will boot after that.
You should be able to mount SD as USB, you need cwm 5.8.4.0.
just Extract boot.img from Zip file you flashed, save it to Fastboot folder then flash it.
fastboot flash boot bootfilename.zip
I guess It may help you.
Press THNAKS if you like.

CASE CLOSED
Hello guys,
Like Jez105, I got the same issue on my HTC One. I tried to install a Custom ROM (CyanogenMOD 10.2.1 stable version) from TWRP recovery but it failed (MD5 file error) so I wiped everything even System thinking that I can access to the backup done a couple hours before.
That backup, I saved it on my PC but now, I can't access to my sdcard partition. ADB doesn't detect my device while Fastboot does.
So in conclusion, I have no OS, No backup on my device, no access to my storage mass but only an access to my Fastboot mode and CWM Recovery.
The question is: How can go back to an Stock or Custom ROM with these issues.
Check bellow my fastboot getvar all:

Mmm, I think I haven't installed a recovery, yet. I completly new to do anything else with a phone than the stuff how they come from store. Was already intrested, but never took the time. However, now I'm moving to another country and having multiple phones all the time, and don't like to buy a new phone with dual sim. So that's where I am at...
Where can I find a recovery and install?

Check the DEVELOPMENT for Roms + recoveries. TWRP 2.7 or cwm 6.0.4.8 are latest versions abailable.

TWRP 2.7 was most easy to find, and working very easily. A step loser to a working phone, think I will manage from here. Thanks!

If you are going to install CM11whith int2ext script I recomend you cwm recovery 6.******

M8 stuck whilst loading recovery mode..

So i accidentally wiped the phone including the internal storage and the OS instead of factory resetting (wasn't paying attention) and tried to re install the android marshmallow OS onto the phone which didn't work..
i managed to flash the twrp by following another forum where someone had the same problem, using the adb process to flash the bootloader etc but now i can't access the recovery at all, it just says entering recovery and remains idle until i get bored of waiting and power off.
Can anyone help me?
i can provide whatever information is necessary for you to help, just need my phone revitalised as i desperately need it for my new job that i should hopefully be starting at the end of the week.
thanks in advance!

Fastboot erase cache, then flash TWRP again in fastboot. Try TWRP 2.8.1.0, which is an older version (more compatible with your old firmware). Then see if you can boot into recovery.
Or flash signed firmware, to update firmware (yours is ancient) then flash TWRP 2.8.7 and restore a newer stock backup (corresponding to the firmware flashed).

Or flash signed firmware, to update firmware (yours is ancient) then flash TWRP 2.8.7 and restore a newer stock backup (corresponding to the firmware flashed).

Thanks a lot. I've tried the first solution and at least TWRP is now working. I've tried the same thing, but it seems, that it was a wrong version of TWRP
Many apologies, turns out i misread the model and its actually the M7 i have. But im glad that this post is helping others with my original problem and thanks to other members who contributed to helping!

How to find right RUU

Hi,

You have the US Sprint version. US versions can't update OTA unless you are actually connected to that US carrier (in your case Sprint).
So therefore, yes RUU is the best way to install an "official" update.
You can find the Sprint RUUs here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
You can update right to the last version (Marshmallow) 6.20.651.3 without flashing any intermediate versions. You will however need to flash the 6.20.651.3 firmware before 6.20.651.3 RUU (requirement peculiar to US Marshmallow RUUs).
Instruction on how to flash 6.20.651.3 firmware are on the same thread as the RUUs.
Keep in mind that flashing RUU will wipe the phone. So backup any data you want to keep to SD or off the phone (cloud, computer) before doing any of the steps.

It won't "fix" the issue of not getting software updates OTA. It's not so much an "issue" as it is just a fact of the US versions of the M8.
But it also doesn't matter. The RUU I suggested will put you on the last version released by HTC (Marshmallow). There have been no updates since, and there will be no more updates.
Please help - Not able to do hard reset on HTC one M8 and looking the Correct RRU

I have a HTC one M8 and it is in vicious Boot loop, sometime it go beyond the lock screen foo few minutes but reboot again. I tried to to hard reset, recovery options etc. but it did not delete any data. All the data stays same though i tired multiple times. I installed the adb utility but it does not work when I select the FASTBOOT USB mode. It only works when phone goes beyond the unlock screen for a few minutes but phone boot loop starts.
FAST boot utility works with FASTBOOT USB mode and list the device when use "fastboot devices" command.
Request you to please help to resolve this issue.
