[Q] Soft bricked, can't boot after flashing any Rom

Hi everyone! My problem is that if I flash any rom (I've tried ARHD, Viper), the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. I've left it in that state for almost an hour and it hasn't progressed further. Restoring my nandroid backups also yields the same result. My fastboot getvar all:

The phone is currently unlocked, s-off. I tried flashing with both, philz and twrp, none work. Also, these roms worked before on the same phone with the same recovery so I really have no idea of what went wrong. The firmware on the phone is 1.56.720.6 (Asia-India). I have tried clearing the cache partition multiple times, but it doesn't help.

@EddyOS, @nkk71 please see this. I think there's something wrong with my /data partition..

Did you recently do the GPE conversion?

May be you should try to flash the stock rom and stock recovery then flash the ruu.

This, the partitions get altered so you can't just simply flash back

According to the OP's getvar output they've NOT done the GPe conversion as the HBOOT version included in the RUU is 3.18.0.0000 and the OP is still on 3.16.0.0000
OP, I'd follow my guide linked in my signature and you should be good to go

I hadn't touched the firmware, so there shouldn't be any problem related to that. Anyways, a rom and recovery do Not affect an RUU flash.

I flashed the international fw zip, and ARHD, (I had checked the hash of the file) and it still didn't work. Also, when I would reboot, some random artefacts would appear during the boot animation (different each time, sometimes wouldn't appear), such as there would be a random flash of purple across the screen or the boot animation would leave a trail behind it (like the effect you get web you would drag a stuck window in win98) etc. sometimes TWRP would act extremely sluggish while sometimes it would be fast and snappy. Quite a few times, while flashing any rom, the screen would go black and reboot to TWRP at random (even after disabling the display timeout). I tried formatting all the partitions on the internal storage. Still gave me problems. I tried to repair file system of each partition in TWRP. The data partition could never get repaired. All of these random problems lead me to believe that this was 99% the fault of the phone/hardware. Luckily I was within the 14 day replacement period and so I went out today after flashing the faux locked/s-on bootloader (I know I should not mess with firmware unless required, and I hadn't till now but I didn't care anymore since I was getting it replaced anyway. I also had 2 dead pixels and a scratch on my camera glass. Now I just have to sit back and wait for a new phone

We've seen this issue on Viper a few times and it usually happened after someone installed e.g. a VZW recovery to the GSM phone or vice versa.
A wrong recovery would flash stuff into the wrong partitions.
A RUU for your device, really just any, should fix it. You should run a RUU and then factory reset right afterwards from bootloader BEFORE flashing another custom recovery.
There is a cingular (AT&T) RUU out right now from HTC here: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2.exe which you could try - it is a GSM RUU. We don't really have WWE 401 RUU yet.
Just make sure you don't grab a SPRINT or Verizon RUU if you find any!!!!!!

Too late for trying a fix , I just want to know what caused it, and I'm 1000% sure I had the right recovery, because as I said, I flashed many other roms in the past with the same recovery, and the problem came after I tried ARHD. And this is the gsm phone.

Yeah well no idea then. Just know I've seen this happen from wrong recoveries. Also not the time to dig into it any further if you've gotten that resolved already I'll leave it as is. Thanks for asking me though. Just keep in mind I've been out of XDA since months and am only slowly reading my way back in so I'm sure there are way more knowledgeable guys around regarding firmware, softbricks and the like.

In such a big mess! I have the same problem as the OP - same to the last dot. I am on India version of device, and was just trying to update firmware to 4.4.3 and in that quest i flashed firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54899772&postcount=1392.
Post that camera and wi-fi stopped working - so I thought may be I screwed up with boot.img and reflashing Viper/ADHD would solve it. While on my way to install Viper I cleaned/wiped data in recovery and hit reboot accidentally which got the phone to stuck in bootloop. I pushed in back in recovery however, since then I have not been able to install either Viper or ADHD. I even tried doing a nandroid back-up from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54940131&postcount=1419, however nothing brings me past the splash screen.
Off-late (few hours) I am not been able to do a back-up (nandroid) as my recovery throws cant mount sdcard or sdcard1 both. Please help!

Yes, I did. Using HTCDev.
At the moment, I would be just happy with someway of going back to the clean slate. Is there a way I could go back to original/stock using ADB/Fastboot as recovery also doesnt seem to work.
Thanks

[Q] Wifi not coming on HTC One M8 Android Revolution 21

Hopefully I am not repeating a thread someone else has already started elsewhere but I have tried for many days and could not find anyone else having this same problem. Apologies if one already exists as I know people seem to repeat...
I recently acquired an HTC One M8 with Android Revolution 11.2 on it. Even though I had factory reset it a couple of times, I could not get it to accept my Google account but WiFi was working. So I flashed it with the latest 21.1 but this time the WiFi does not come on. I tried this a couple of times and the problem persists. I have TWRP recovery, S-ON, rooted/unlocked, UK. I reinstalled 11.2 and I am able to use the phone. The only problem here is that my music does not play through the phone speakers but it does through Bluetooth speakers (probably works through earpiece but have not tried that).
People seemed to have faced WiFi issues with earlier versions of Android Revolution but no one has mentioned this for the latest version. Does anyone have any idea what it could be or what I need to check to help with this problem? I would like to be able to flash to latest version and use all the functions of the phone to enjoy the phone, the latter taking priority. Failing that, I may have to resort to going back to stock ROM which does not seem like an easy thing as flashing the stock ROM. I am considering doing that anyway because of some of the great improvements HTC have introduced in the latest version.

Please, post the output of

Deleting imei and serial number...

You don't have to post your firmware version, because it's certainly wrong -- you need to update your firmware, or your WiFi won't work. If your phone works with 11.2 then you have the old firmware.
You're going to either have to try to get S-Off (which will likely require paying) or find an official OTA for your phone that you can use to upgrade firmware.
Her'es a good guide to all this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
This is discussed a lot in the ARHD thread and elsewhere, so you just have to sit back and do some reading and searching.

Lukes91, thoroughly appreciate your responses so thanks. I missed your earlier post about Firmware. I will follow the details and some reading on how to do this. I will let you know how it goes.

Here are the steps I took to upgrade my firmware , it may be of some help to you ?

Thanks for the details. I had not seen your post until I got into a lot of trouble and came back here for help. I had finished typing a whole lot of stuff but before I submitted it I managed to get over the ordeal. After hours of reading, trying to conjure up the courage to update the firmware without having to S-OFF as S-ON provides security for insecure people like me but also because FIREWIRE could not do it. I finally took the plunge with "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282" which seemed to work. But after rebooting, the phone got stuck on the HTC splash screen. After a few more hours of reading while crying, I came across a post which advised of power+vol-up option and then power+vol-down quickly. Oh, the relief! After that, I managed to update recovery to TWRP but then all sorts of trouble not being able to update ROM using TWRP Install because "Unable to read zip file" and "Not enough space" using FASTBOOT UPDATE option. Even though it was not allowing my PC to write to the internal storage forever, finally, as if by magic while I was typing my reply here earlier (as mentioned above), I was able to copy the odexed HTC 3.28.401.7 ROM (from the ARHD site) to the phone's internal storage. When I then used the TWRP Install, it managed to install as expected. Another moment of relief!
Anyway, I now seem to have sensible versions showing up for the phone, WiFi working and music playing through the speakers. Happy days!

Thank you to all who helped and tried to help alike. It was a nice experience being here at the XDA forums

Bricked to the Max... (Maybe)

Prologue:
So there I was, caressing my shiny and smooth M8.
At the beginning of the year I S-Offed, and added DigitalHigh's awesome Beyond Stock...
Later on, I used a standard RUU GPE Rom.
After repeated Wi-Fi password amnesia, I wanted Beyond Stock Back.
Flashing "GPE_5.1_M8_DH_080215.zip" gives me an "Error 7" even with repeated wipes... hehe... wipes
Searching didn't give me a coherent answer.
So I though, let's update TWRP... and...
Now
The thing's only usable in Bootloader.
If I go to recovery or ANYTHING, the "Google" logo stares at me in disgust.
Odd detail: I'm using fastboot and when it's stuck on the "Google" logo, entering "adb devices" detects the phone in recovery mode.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0, but all I see is the "Google" logo. (I can still feel vibrations on the screen as if I'm hitting a menu button)
I also tried to "fastboot -w" and it gave me the "remote: not allowed" result.
Actually, I tried to fastboot a lot of things and the result came the same.
Anyways, I'll give a detailed log as soon as I remember how, but the reason I post this is 'cause searching for this doesn't give an understandable or reliable result.
Thanks

But delete the serial and imei before posting ! If you have an old bootloader you have to use the 2.7 series of TWRP. if you have the latest bootloader (3.18-3.19) you have to use 2.8 series of TWRP !

OOOOOOOOOHHHH, Where I get new M8 bootloader?
Hold Up, going to work, will post 'getvar' later today.

It's there, brah.
Take a look if you can.

It's an AT&T device, you are using it with AT&T ? And you fully converted it from sense to GPE ? You could also :
1: run the GPE ruu again. It will get you on GPE stock again and since you are s-off that should not be a problem of any kind.
2: convert back to sense (original AT&T with software number x.xx.502.x)
i am not sure if the AT&T RUU will cover the "back to sense conversion" so this might be interesting too as it involves the standalone flashing of the firmware first (you need a AT&T firmware, NOT the one posted there !!!)
here is more conversion info :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
and here you can get firmwares : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
if you want number 2 here is more info with a download link to the latest android L RUU : http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-att-htc-one-m8-lollipop-ruu-4-28-502-1-75822/

Didnt want to start my own thread due to the shame..
Hi,,
I have managed to remove my OS, without making a backup. All i have running is TWRP. Was going to install CM12.1, but didnt update the M8 to the latest software that contains relevant bootloader. From here it went downhill - fast.
Ended up with no OS, no backkups, and no ability to flash other ROMS i think.
If someone could give me a few ideas, i would really appreciate it.

Your case is different and you should start your own thread but there are many same case as yours.
Here is one and the solution is in there.. run RUU - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/os-sos-t3192177
Anything you're not sure, ask there. Don't hijack this thread.

UPDATE: Thanks to ckpv5 and the links that were provided i was able to complete the reinstall - thank you so much!!
Opps - sorry - didnt mean to offend!
Will take a look.
Thanks
Mike

The RUU got me an OS and, right now, that is all I need.
Thank you!!

Desperate: HTC Reboot Hell, even recovery

First of all thanks for anyone who can help me.
I'm quite desperate after spending countless hours on XDA trying to get my phone to work.
I received the phone (international HTC one M8) in a somewhat broken state and I am trying to fix it.
Originally the phone had a 4.4 rom on it which caused the phone to reboot constantly, I couldn't get the rom to update either so I decided to flash it to Marshmallow.
Set S-off, I flashed TWRP and installed the latest Skydragon rom. Wifi wasn't working though so I flashed ruu firmware 6.12.401.4b. The rom worked, Wifi worked, but only downside, it only booted while being charged with a cable, and the sudden reboots started occurring again. So I think the battery might be shotty too. Anyway, I got a device tree warning too, so I reflashed a different Ruu, reboots started occurring even when trying to get to recovery. So I went back to the 6x ruu, tried to flash Skydragon again and then I spiraled into real trouble. Each time I tried to flash a rom, the phone reboots while installing. I even tried the MeID changer to make sure it fits with the firmware.
Long story short, the reboots got worse, I can't get into recovery without rebooting. If I run recovery over fastboot, I get into the recovery, but it reboots when I try to flash anything. I also tried Phil's revovery but same problem.
I can get into fastboot, hboot and bootloader just fine though.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Need more info to proceed. Please do a fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Sure Thing! Thanks!

It is indeed an M8_UL which is the GSM/Int version.
However version-mics shows: XF SHIP S-OFF
M8_UL_XF is something I have heard of before on a forum (few pages back, there's a thread with a similar case).
Anyway, an ordinary M8_UL will show 'PVT SHIP S-OFF'.
XF is either a 'different' variant or some type of engineer/prototype device.

Here is the getvar all from my M8.
Notice the version-misc.

Thanks @murtaza02, I finally got the damn thing to work because of your comment I realized my CID was bogus and wasn't corresponding with the MID, so I fixed that using fastboot, flashed the EU 6x FUU and the corresponding RUU (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057). And behold, It booted into Marshmellow!!
Now though, the phone still keeps shutting down (not even rebooting) and won't start android without being plugged in. Could this be software related at all? Getvar says the battery is good and when it craps out, (most often when trying to enable WIFI) it shows the battery charging just fine. I still see the device tree warning on boot btw.

As I said, yours is XF and a normal M8 is PVT.
Your device will accept a MM firmware, however there may be a SLIGHT difference in partition/partition sizes hence the device tree error and irregular behavior.
Your CID was not bogus, it was just SuperCID which is used to bypass the CID check during an RUU/FUU flash.
I'm still trying to figure out why (and how) yours is different.

I don't know much about the XF variant, either. But I recall @ckpv5 pointing out the difference to an XF user a week or 2 ago. So maybe @ckpv5 can jump in and give some advice here?

@redpoint73, Thanks but I fear @ckpv5 might not have any more info to go on. I found his post where he referred to the XF variant. He said it's quite possible a US variant, definitely has different partitioning than the PVT version, but didn't know more. I've also seen posts of people suggesting it's a Canadian version.
I bought it on Aliexpress if that is any lead. But in all honestly, I'm really starting to worry I have an expensive paperweight.
One more potential clue, the Alie page suggests the phone only has WCDMA, no LTE, could that be a lead? Ow and one more clue, the model number on the back of the phone is: OP6B100x

You shouldn't be trying "a lot" of RUUs. You should be trying only the correct RUUs for the Sprint M8. Flashing RUUs for other versions is dangerous, and can lead to permanent damage to the Sprint version M8.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
Did you buy this phone? And you received it with cell data not working? If so, you should return it to the seller (if possible) rather then messing around with it (possibly breaking it worse, and voiding any possibility of return to the seller).
Also, you should delete IMEI, serial number, and MEID from your post. These are unique to the device, and should never be posted online.

All the RUU files that i had tried for the same model ONE M8 WHL
No I didn't buy the phone but it's my job to make a software for the phones
When I received the phone cell data was working but the problem was there is no traffic when you turned on the wireless
But my problem now there is "no baseband"

This still doesn't tell me which RUUs you tried. There are 14 RUUs on the thread I linked. Which ones exactly did you try, and in what order? Did you use the exe or zip method (and if the latter, was it by htc_fastboot, or SD card method)? Did the RUU(s) install completely and successfully, or were there error messages? If there were error messages, what did they say exactly?
Basically, your posts are short on details. You should be specific and detailed as possible, when asking for help.

Understanding that English may not be your native language. But I don't know what that means "there is no traffic". Can you try to explain another way (again, more details may help).

Where are you seeing "no baseband". In the getvar you posted, it says baseband number 1.09.20.0119
You also did not delete the personal details (serial number, IMEI and MEID) from the getvar output, as I previously advised.

I'm so sorry for being late

Is that the only RUU you tried? Before you said you tried "a lot of RUU flash files kitkat or lolipop " and when asked which RUUs you tried, you list only one. So one of those statements is incorrect or incomplete.
Hard to diagnose the issue (or may give incorrect advice) is we don't know exactly, step-by-step, what you did, and the state of the device at each step.
One important example of this: Are you absolutely sure you only flashed Sprint RUUs? It's a known problem, that if you tried to flash a non-Sprint RUU or radio baseband, that it will result in a radio brick (possibly permanent, but usually can be fixed).

I am still wondering about the original state, where you said: "When I received the phone cell data was working but the problem was there is no traffic"
I asked before, what you meant by this. You still haven't explained (only given the current state).
Again, it's hard to properly troubleshoot the issue, when it's pretty clear we've only been given a portion of the info.

Thanks for keeping in touch

According to XTC2CLIP support all of M8_WHL flash files are Sprint or sprint and harman
then I tried this file
RUU_M8_WHL_M60_SENSE70_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_Harman_6 .20.654.3
I'm so sorry maybe I didn't explain my problem exactly when I posted it
"" I am still wondering about the original state, where you said: "When I received the phone cell data was working but the problem was there is no traffic"
I meant there was no traffic when you connected to wifi there was no data transfer and this problem was solved by flashing the latest file
Now my problem is there are no imei and baseband in the normal mode but in the fast mode are exist

Try the older RUUs, like 2.16 or 3.30, and see if that fixes the "no baseband' issue. If so, try to RUU back to a more current version (6.20) and see if the fix "sticks".
Of try to flash the firmware only, and see if that helps (not exactly the same as flashing an RUU, so be sure to read the instructions on how to flash firmware). Firmware and instructions are on the same thread as the Sprint RUUs, which I linked earlier.
