Hi there in need of some help. I have really ****ed up my install of twrp and supersu from my htc one m8.
I followed this person tutorial htconeroot com/htc-one-root I followed everything to the letter apart from enabling Dev enable usb debugging.
1st of all I downloaded this twrp file "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8" when I should have downloaded the latest version of twrp. Such a noob mistake I know now : (
2nd I also downloaded a older version of supersu SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815 which I loaded onto my phone and should have downlaoded the latest version.
I followed all the instruction on the video and when I rebooted after instaling supersu my device is now stuck on the HTC startup screen.
I tried to reboot again going into fastboot and recovery and nothing worked. I know I should have just updated supersu to the latest version but I followed some other peoples advice and now I have completelty screwd my phone I think.
I deleted supersu from twrp and wiped the files as well. My computer now does not recognise my phone folder to be able to install any updated version of supersu or install a ROM. My computer OS is windows 10 and it now sees my phone as a cd drive so cannot install anything on the drive at all.
I can get into twrp but nothing seems to work when I try to reset back to factory settings.
Is there a command line way in geting back into my phone and being able to sort this mess that I have made.
In need of some serious help from the experts here at xda developers.
All help is very much appreciated.
Thanks Steve

These random "root" websites just copy content from XDA, and have little or no community to help you. All you need is on XDA, so I recommend stick to XDA.
Such "root" websites also don't give enough information, aren't well organized, and don't update it all. So they are very likely to get you into trouble, as you now know.

What version, if it wasn't SuperSU 2.79?
What version of Android was the phone on when you started? Was it Marshmallow?

There is really no such thing as "reset back to factory settings" especially in TWRP. Just going in and wiping things, isn't going to fix the problem.
Try to fastboot flash an updated version of TWRP. If you were on Marshmallow, try current version 3.1.0-0 from there: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Once booted into TWRP, see if you can access the internal storage from your PC. If not, make sure internal storage is checked in "Mount".

Sorry was this version SuperSU-v2.37.zip. I do appologise thats the latest version that I posted and was ment to be this version SuperSU-v2.37.zip this is the one that I installed.
Yes it was marshmallow.
I downloaded the latest version of twrp and can I ask how to re install twrp ??
I cannot access my phone internal storage for some reason my computer is not recognising my phone now. It was before as I installed supersu straight onto my phone internal storage and tried to boot the phone from that. It's now coming up as a cd drive and I cannot access to install anything on it.
In mount all I have
System >>> not checked
cache >>> not checked
Data >>> is checked
Micro SDcard >> is checked
USB-OTG >>> not checked
Thanks again for your help

Flash with fastboot. Which I would assume is the same way you did it before. Instructions on TWRP's website: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html

Let's get the right version of TWRP on the phone first, and see if that helps. If not, we'll go from there.
Updated twrp
Hi just to let you know that I have booted into the new twrp. I am using FWUL and using simple-ADB and it installed it no problem.
Just cannot seem to find how to install supersu onto my device as my phone is not showing up FWUL OS.
Sorry, what is FWUL?
Updatefor you
Hi just to say that I installed supersu as well the latest version SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815. After rebooting I am back to the htc page. I have no ROM installed at all on this and it's saying there no OS installed on my phone.
I want to install kali Linux Nethunter and I have downlaod the correct files to install.
WillI have to install another OS like Marshmallow or kitkat before installing Kali Nethunter.
Thanks again for yourhelp : ))

You must have at some point in trying to "fix" the problem, wiped system in TWRP. System is same as ROM/OS. So if you wiped it, it's pretty obvious that no ROM is the result.
Flashing old SuperSU in itself doesn't result in no ROM/no OS. It just makes the phone stuck on boot screen, and flashing the proper SuperSU will fix it.

I've never used it. But reading the thread, it looks like you need a fully working OS. So pick a ROM, put it on the phone, and flash it. Then flash Kali Nethunter.

Ah, I see it's listed as one of the several options for adb/fastboot in the TWRP install instructions. I've never used that specific one, so the acronym confused me. Any fastboot/adb environment will work about the same. You didn't really need to install anything new on your computer. You already had fastboot on your computer to begin with (to unlock the bootloader), and that would have worked fine to install TWRP.
BackUp File
Hi there and thanks very much for your help very much appreciated. Before I did everything I made a back up and have the files on my desktop they are:
0C77AEECE8C258113148C6FB487946BF97B34672
01C669ECF50A775226B15B9F60EEB522AB34BE2F
I have ten of these files and a deafault file as well. Can I restore these to my hpne at all.
I am going to try and install marshmallow on my phone as that was the last OS that I had. Do I have to have the most current and updated version MM.

What did you use to "backup" the phone? Those don't look like TWRP backup folder names. They look like MD5 verification codes?
Individual TWRP backup folders will usually have name format of the date/time the backup was made, such as: 2017-04-22-20-43-56....

There weren't many different official versions (maybe 1 or 2) of Marshmallow for each M8 carrier version. Any version MM should do.

You need to manually flash the boot.img file in the custom ROM via ADB while in Fastboot mode, unless you have S-Off. Oh the quirks of HTC phones...

Wrong info. Even on s-on M8 phones the boot.img is flashed automatically so that's not it.
@ O.P
Sure you full wiped before installing the new rom. Can you give an example of what roms you tried ?
And DELETE your imei and serial !

I dont get it. This wasnt happening before the upgrade to lolipop. It also happens with multirom. Maybe its time to S-off.

Hmmm, well i can suggest to make a full wipe manually in TWRP and don't select that in the rom's aroma installer. Then continue to install the full basic rom. Don't delete or modify apps in the installer.
Just flash the correct Lollipop firmware and you're good to go.

This only applies to older HTC devices, and has never been true for the M8 (as another already stated). I don't understand why folks keep propagating this incorrect info.

What version number of TWRP exactly? I ask, since once in a while, folks say they are on the "latest" but then it turns out they are looking in the wrong place, and its actually an older version (and the cause of their issue).
What ROMs specifically did you try?
I did a full wipe(system,data etc except sdcard) in TWRP 2.8.7, and then the install of ViperOne went good.
Guys please help me i just bought my phone and i am without OS already what a stupid i am i messed it up by using twrp and i didn't back up my stock rom dam it (( (((

First ... remove the serial no. & imei no in your post as they are sensitive info.
You have 3 options :
1. Restore 4.16.401.10 TWRP backup - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60147089&postcount=5104
It read as WWE 4.20.401.10 TWRP Backup but that's typo error .. it should read as WWE 4.19.401.10 TWRP Backup
or
2. Relock your bootloader and install 4.16.401.10 RUU.exe - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56140330&postcount=1
(make backup of your internal storage important data as this will wipe everything)
or
3. Relock your bootloader and fastboot flash the 4.16.401.10 RUU.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
(make backup of your internal storage important data as this will wipe everything and also note you need htc_fastboot instead of normal fastboot)

You need to extract it with 7-zip and put those files in your backup folder not to ADB it nor fastboot it.

After restore i will flash back stock recovery and then relock the bootloader.

No need to relock bootloader.
Only when running RUU.exe or RUU.zip you need to relock bootloader when S-On.
Using a backup no need to relock bootloader. Just flash stock recovery then do OTA.
If that backup fails (as I'm not sure whether that's fully stock or not), I put up my own stock backup in my thread .. you can try that later if current one fails.
Restore successfully completed. Now, in order not to have problems with latest OTA , i have to restore stock recovery, right ?

Yes. OTA downloaded and I tried twice to install, but all it did was restart phone into bootloader.
After flashing stock recovery, I rebooted phone, ran OTA and update started.
After update completed, phone rebooted to white start screen with HTC logo and froze there.
I have read that this is probably because I ran OTA on rooted device.
So now i am stuck with no OS and hope these files will help.

The best solution for me if I ever have this problem .. I will format data (not wipe data) in TWRP before I restore the backup (of course need to backup internal storage data somewhere else first)
Done . Now i have free space. many thanks !!
Hello guys,
I have a big probleme. I decided to change mobile, i put my as original since it's easy to sell. I was on leedroid rom with twrp on custom recovery.
So on twrp i flash my original Rom (i ever done it one time so i know it's the good one). Everithing work great, the phone restart. I want to improve the Rom step by step, and i download kitkat 4.4.4, when it's done the phone restart, load kitkat and restart. That the begenning of probleme, it reboot i here the small song, then i stay lock one start screen (Htc-Powered by android), very strange, the screen give some vibration as if it work but nothing move, locking on this screen ........ No probleme, i restart on recovery and i start on recovery factory, the phone boot, as if it load the recovery factory version, it boot again, but nothing more, locked on white screen with Htc powered by android, and the small thong.
Here's, i don't have phone since 2 days. If you have a solution to restart this M8, please help me.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Most probably because of a very low android version installed on a high firmware version.
Post fastboot getvar all result (without serial & imei no.) to see what actually that you need.
Thanks for you answer, how can i get fastboot getvard ?
Never expect this kind of question from a "member" of XDA.
Anyway ... connect your device to pc after you put it on bootloader/fastboot mode
Open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder then type
fastboot getvar all

That's your problem .. you have Marshmallow 6.12.163.4 firmware but you restored a very old version and it get stuck due to too high firmware.
I don't see anywhere a backup or RUU for 6.12.163.4 around ... you need to find it.
I'll see whether I can find a lower version than make a good collection in my backup thread
Edit : you should have already make your own backup since our last conversation here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57254494&postcount=3175 .... maybe you can contact him again.
Edit 2 : You can wait and I'll upload 6.12.163.4 backup to my backup thread (link in my signature) either tomorrow or Sunday
Arf, ok, so i will try to find this one. I hope i will get it.
I'm just asking, how can i flash this version (if i find it), since i can't access to my phone, i never do this before ?
I found this for you ....
ROM 4.19.163.2 (+ radio & stock recovery, màd par Migascalp, flash via TWRP*)
Install TWRP then install it as same as you install custom ROM then do OTA to 6.12.163.4

Thanks to @migascalp
Thanks a lot
The problem is that before i use Twrp to flash my custom rom, and now i only have the original recovery

Reinstall TWRP - https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Download twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img and place it in your adb/fastboot folder
connect your device to pc after you put it on bootloader/fastboot mode
Open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder then type
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img
then you get TWRP recovery installed then proceed the rest
gotta go now ... good luck
Thanks a lot Kuala for your help. I download everythings then i do it. I give you news when it's done.
Thanks again mate
Thanks a lot mate for your help.
TWRP installed
15 minutes to go for Rom ....
Working great Kuala. Amazing, thanks for advices and help
Arf, it's not working perfectly, i can't install 6.0. It's loading, decompress, but when M8 reboot to install it make error.....
Does some one have idea ?
Thanks for answer.
Why error ? Did you root it ? If you root it, you'll get error.
Here is another way for you :
Install latest TWRP
Restore 6.12.163.4 non-rooted backup
Install 6.12.163.4 stock recovery
Done

Any further question, ask in my thread
Hi, I just bought a used HTC M8s and I am trying to update the Android version + Sense!
Which is the best version to flash, plus I want it to be as stock as possible!
Thanks!
UPDATE ! ! ! !
1. I tried updating over the air, but after the download completed an error appeared that said I can't update because there is some software modification...
2. Tried downloading a stock RUU from this site HERE
After running the exe RUU it gives me a Customer Id error 131 or something and exits immediately.
So I am stuck with Android 5 for now can't get any updates. Hoping get it fixed soon! :/
What is your getvar all say? What version of Android are you currently running? Does it not update over the air? Did you check for any available update in software in settings?

oh. I don't understand your problem. I have the same model except mine is
baseband: [email protected]
and I have a version main 2.20.401.1
I just made a successful nandroid earlier this week... which I can use to restore my current setup if I factory reset.
I might be able to make a system only nandroid. but it would still be really large and need to be uploaded. Do you have the twrp working?
better yet there may already be some stock 6.01 nandroid up here someplace. Did you try searching for one?

A nandroid backup is a great thing. Restore a phone to a exact state. Are you using the 3.0.3 TWRP found in the next thread over in our phone's forum? (m8s)
download the 3.0.3 and see if it can work by booting into it (dont flash it first see if it works using the 'fastboot boot ('3.0.3TWRP')' command. Using an SD Card create a backup (nandroid) of your 5.0 phone's boot, system, data and recovery.
then you are ready to restore other nandroid backups you find around.
Worth noting there is a lollipop twrp on that thread too. But U dont think you can only use that but you can try downloading it to your phone via that fastboot boot method I mentioned before over the usb cable.
Hope someone can help. My daughter switched on her HTC One M8 after months of not using and it is showing a page with software status modified, locked and s-on. I know nothing about HTC phones. I have spent 2 days trying to get the answer, but it is beyond me. Here is information I have.

Spontaneously not being able to boot to OS, and "Software Modified" error on a bootloader locked, previously unmodified (far as you know) phone; often means the OS has become damaged/corrupted.
I don't think your version (O2) has an official HTC RUU tool, which would make it pretty easy to get running again. The device can possibly still be recovered, but the process is not trivial. You would need to unlock the bootloader (HTCdev.com process), flash custom recovery TWRP, then install stock TWRP backup 6.13.206.5 from here (with further instructions herein): https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
All personal data on the phone will be lost in the process (data on removable SD will remain, if there is one installed). But if your daughter has not used the phone in months, maybe the personal data on it is not important?

Thank you for your reply, I'll give this a go, and take my time. There is not personal data on the phone that is important, so not a tragedy if I fail. Appreciate your help.

Hi
I have taken my time and got so far as number 2. I can't find the link to download TWRP backup 6.13.206.5. Where do I access #2,#3, and #4? I have never done this before, and am actually amazed I have got this far! Could you please simplify the procedure for me to complete this?

TWRP backup 6.13.206.5 is in Post #3 of the same thread (scroll down, third post of that thread), it says that right in the instructions for Step #2.
You don't need stock recovery (step #3). This is only to receive updates, which doesn't apply to this device anymore (updates stopped at Marshmallow) and not useful for what you are trying to so (just restore stock ROM/TWRP backup). So you can skip step #2, as well as stop at Step #9, and just reboot (and hopefully stock ROM will boot). No need to do steps 10 and on. In fact, it is detrimental in doing so, since if you need to use TWRP again, it will be gone if you flash stock recovery.

Followed all these instructions and it said that the restore was successful. However when I reboot the phone is stuck on the white startup screen. Any further advice?

Some things to try:
- Did you do the wipes as directed in the guide (Dalvik, cache, data, system) before the restore?
- What version of TWRP did you install? If you followed the guide correctly, it should be 2.8.7 (and older versions may not be compatible with your firmware) which is tried and true. But you can also try other versions after 2.8.7 (up to current 3.2.3-1) from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
- Make sure it was the backup version 6.13.206.5 that you restored. Download and restore the backup again, to be sure the files wasn't corrupted. Make sure you restore both system and boot.img partitions.
- After restore, do the default wipe in TWRP (slightly different from what you wiped before: Dalvik, cache, data, but not system), just to be sure.

I was using TWRP 2.8.7 but updated to 3.2.3-1 and downloaded backup 6.13.206.5 again. I got the same result so continued to your original instructions and followed to number 12 and it worked. Thank you so much for your patience and expertise.

You need to use HTC fastboot and adb files and then on your pc use command prompt fastboot getvar all
Sorry but I now cannot remember where I got this information, I did a lot of searches on google.

You're quite welcome. Glad it worked out for you.
Not sure why it didn't work the first or second time. Maybe you missed a step, or did something slightly incorrect. Of just some glitch, that was not any fault of yours (it happens). Persistence is key, sometimes!
