no OS installed after root - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I did these steps:
1) Unlocked bootloader
2) Installed SUPERSU version. 2.37 from recovery mode
3) Phone rooted? but stuck on bootloop after rebooting to system
4) I went to recovery mode and wiped all data, because i thought it would factory reset my phone(stupid of me...)
And now im here. there is ''no os installed'' on my phone.
I can detect my phone from my computer with CMD. And i can only have access to bootloader and recovery mode.
Can anyone help with a fix? ive been up all night to search for a fix, but nothing seems to help...
+ i have no backup from my phone. but i have a stock backup from someone i found on the forums, but i have no idea how to use it.

Just download a ROM and put it onto your extSD card, then flash it in recovery and everything should be good.

[Q]briked S3 i747

I tried to factory format my phone through TWRP, then when I tried to restart again, it never comes back.
I still have access to TWRP, but when I install zip files I downloaded, it always failed. I tried to use Odin, it failed to flash an image in.
Plz help me.
Many thanks.

What format option did you select in TWRP and hope you didn't accidently remove your OS? The device could fail to boot if you don't have an OS installed. You may be able to flash a complete stock restore image via TWRP. Would you recall what Android version you were on before the brick? Also what is your phone model and carrier?

Mine was ATT S3 I747 with Android 4.3 system. I did wipe my OS during recovery. That caused the whole problem. Then I use TWRP to flash a system and a kernel in. I was unable to flash bootloader and modem in; I did not know what is the problem. The weird thing is that I successfully start my phone and used it for a while. When I rebooted it, it dies again. I tried to install the some boot update in this January. It never works again. Any advise?

You can try flashing a complete stock system to get your phone back to working condition. Since you already had 4.3, flashing zips often fails if there is a bootloader incompatibility. The stock restore should do it. Please go to the following thread ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Download the stock restore zip to your PC. Use another device or something to load it to a (micro) SD card. Insert the card into your phone. Boot into recovery mode and flash from TWRP. When done, wipe your cache/dalvik and reboot to system. Let's know if this works for you.

[Q] No OS installed, stuck on Boot

Hello guys,
at first i like to thank everyone for their effort to "open the mind" of the hima. i appreciate your work.
Now to my problem: i got a "live demo unit", which i want to flash with a stock firmware. In this Demo-Mode are necessary options blocked (e.g. adjusting brightness) and theres always a demo displayed on the sleep of the device.
At first, i started to unlock the bootloader and flashed twrp. Until this point everything went fine. I just tried to flash a firmware from this post via twrp and thought, that the flashing is only possible with the stock recovery, as adb sideload didn't worked for me. So i decided to reflash the stock recovery. From this pointit's not possible to boot anymore. i can only access the bootloader & download mode. the stock recovery is running, but can't mount the data from the internal storage an tells something about that he can't access to it. Now i reflashed twrp after relocking & unlocking again the bootloader. i would hopefully try at next to flash a custom rom via twrp.
Any hints by now? Everything would be helpful....and btw: sorry for my bad english

[Q] My HTC one X is stuck in a bootloop....help needed

G'day guys,
I tried to install the CM 11 Rom on my phone (HTC One X 2012 international model), i unlocked the bootloader on the Htcdev site, rooted the phone successfully,
then i rebooted in recovery using ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.0, made a back-up rom then wipe data/factory reset and installed CM 11 rom (cm-11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-endeavoru.zip) and
it came up with Status 7 error and install aborted.....and now it's stuck in a boot loop, when i reboot it boots back into the Clockwork Mod recovery
I tried turning it off and restarting, i've ran the battery down but it still reboots in cwm recovery...
Is there anyway to fix this or have i stuffed my phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Too old recovery you must to use TWRP6.0.1 or higer to be able to install CM11 becouse is KitKat based rom read the OP in CM11 thread and download correct TWRP or CWM. Try with this CWM6.0.4.8
Thanks, I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.8 like you said, now i have to try and get it out of the boot loop, I've tried about 6 different sites and their methods to fix it but none of them have worked, its still stuck in recovery mode.
My phone doesnt even register when i plug it into my pc either.
Is there any advice you can give to help with this?

Tried to flash boot.img, pressed enter and it stayed on "waiting on device".
Got into bootloader on phone and even tried a factory reset and got nowhere.
Everytime i selected an option in bootloader ie. fastboot, recovery, it just reboots into recovery.

go in bootloader then select fastboot then connect the phone to computer and flash the boot.img if you don't see your device install the correct drivers for that

[problem] lg g3

I installed a ROM, but somehow this ROM wasn't able to have any root acces. When flashing the ROM it also flashed cyanogen recovery ;/
This ROM suddenly had a bootloop, and i can't fix it, i cannot flash any other rom in this recovery, factory reset doesn't help, i cannot push any files using ADB because the recovery doesnt support it.
im pretty ****ed
any ideas?
have you tried "back to stock" method via download mode ?
Somehow nothing recognizes my phone, not even fastboot. But i fixed the problem.

M8s stuck in bootloader

Hello everyone. I got a M8s from a friend wich is stuck in bootloader. The recovery didn't work at the begin, so I flashed twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img) and it worked, then I tried to install a custom ROM Android_Pandora_Rom_1.2_(Discontinued).zip wich went all the steps fine until: Optimizing applications 8 of 204..then phone shat down to black screen. I booted back to bootloader, recovery, wiped and go for a new install, same issue.
After that, I was going to install lineage-13.0-20170715-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul.zip where the developer of this rom recommends twrp-3.0.2-0-m8ql.img so I tried to flash it (flashing recovery using htc_fastboot.exe flash recovery theimagename.img), then tried to acces recovery, brings me back to bootloader so fast, rebooted bootloader, tried again, same problem. Tried the fasboot erase cache, no help.
The Hboot state is Unlocked and the S is ON. I tried some other recovery images, as stock_signed or 3.0.1, tried the one from M8 ToolKit but all failed and I still can't access recovery, everyting I do, it brings me back to bootloader. I did htc_fastboot boot recoveryfile.img wich works, but useless, the dd if= method to set the recovery permanent load did not work after reboot, /data and /system can't be mountet, it seems the "boot recovery" option is 99% readonly.
Any advice, any help please? It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Hi McBad,
you could try the following. I also had some problems to access the recovery.
- Again bring the phone into fastboot, flash the 2.8 recovery and access it
- Do a wipe for factory reset, not just only cache
- after that try to flash the twrp-3.0.1-0-m8ql.img version, the other one worked for me neither
- the try to install the custom ROM LOS13
I hope this will help you.

It would be great if that would work, but flashing a recovery does not work. I flash it, success message, try to access it, vibrates and bootloader pops back instantly. That is the problem.
Sorry for double post, but can anyone help me with this? This is the second day I struggle to make it work. Any chance to make the hboot locked again? It didn't work with oem lock command. I would like to lock it so I can put an official zip on sdcard so the hboot to restore it to factory stock, some RUU. Or get it s-off so I can flash a rom from fastboot? The phone does not have any ROM on it, image crc results system 0x0, recovery 0x0. Please, help!
Have you tried sideloading twrp ?

Did you use HTC fastboot ?
Yes, I used htc_fastboot. Use sideloading? Like boot the img file directly? Tried that too.

Is there any way you could flash twrp 2.8 again? Once in that recovery you have sideloading option which you could use to transfer latest recovery onto your device. Are we talking about the same process?

You can't install lineage if you haven't upgraded your device with latest official update. I would try reinstaling twrp 2.8, do a wipe of cache, dalvik cache and system, Sideload CM 12; and see how it goes. As well, while in twrp I would try relocking bootloader but only after an unsuccessful attempt to flash said rom. I don't know what your experience with soft bricked devices is, but sometimes it takes a while, different usb cable or usb slot on your PC, correct files in adb folder, re-download of rom or recovery because it easily gets corrupted while downloading. And obviously a fully charged device. Let us know how it goes.
