PLEASE HELP

Your post is really unclear, making it impossible to help without further info.
Did you have the issue of no SIM before, causing you to try to fix it? Or were you playing around with ROMs, and broke the baseband/SIM? In other words, what was the exact sequence of events that led to the current condition.
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Also, is the bootloader locked, unlocked or relocked?
Do you have TWRP installed? If so, what version number?

What exactly did you try to install (file names, ROM names, version numbers - provide as much detail as possible)?

This isn't useful statement, unless you describe exactly what you tried (again, with exact file names, version numbers, etc.) and what the specific result of each was (description of results, error messages, etc.).

I DELETE THIS OTHERS
there's no errors, just the device dont start, stock at one image and no menu, only start botton work

Your post #1 said you installed ROM but no baseband & no imei
Your post #3 said stuck on bootanimation (I guess)
So which ROM for no. 1 ?
0P6BIMG_M8_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_India_6.15. 720.2_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_F_re lease_469495_signed_2_4_gsmdevelopers.com should be correct RUU for your device.
If you can boot ROM as no.1 and no baseband & imei, try install 6.15.720.2 firmware only to see whether it can fix your problem

That is a RUU not flashable rom zip, you can't install RUU in twrp.
You installed GPE ROM in twrp ? So I guess you didn't install GPE RUU.
Try any other Sense ROM like ICE, if can boot but no baseband & imei, install firmware as I said above.
Another thing.. your bootloader is white and not black, right ?

yes bootloader is white , i tried the RUU method but it's stuck to, i had some errors. and i must phone must be relocked , i lost S-off when i did it.
i tried to get a backup like u say in ur post but not working
please can u help, what's the rom i may install can u give me all tutoriel

I never say any backup to try, only the firmware.
No need to relock bootloader to install RUU and no need to change to S-On (same for installing firmware too)
Install again GPE rom as you said you can install and working but no baseband
Then after install firmware, fw_6.15.720.2.zip only
then tell if baseband is fixed or not.

What format is the RUU, is it zip or exe?
If it got stuck, what was the specific error message? Only telling us it "had some errors" is not useful. I shouldn't have to be telling you this again. Provide as much detail as possible, if you expect us to help.
You don't need to relock the bootloader to RUU when you have s-off.
Relocking the bootloader does not make the device s-on. Never seen it. It just makes the bootloader RELOCKED, which restricts a lot of other things (can't flash TWRP, etc.).

Firmware and recovery nor two different things. I'm skeptical if you flashed the right thing, or did it properly.
Did you get the file, and follow the instructions exactly as listed in the link that ckpv5 gave your for the firmware?
Did you flash it twice, as the instructions say?
Do fastboot getvar all, again, and post (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

It's not easy to help you when you don't understand the suggestion.
I never say 6.15.720.2_recovery.img, no such file in the link that I gave you. Please read again the filename is fw.15.720.2.zip and you need to install it using fastboot method or ext_sd method.

Are you sure? I can't find error code 179.
Maybe you mean Error 170, which is USB connection error. Which often just means you need to put the phone in fastboot mode. Or try another USB cable, another USB port on the PC, or re-install the HTC drivers.

Any of the ROMs from the M8 development section should work. You will need to unlock the bootloader again, and flash TWRP to the device again (suggest current TWRP version 3.1.1-0). This is due to the fact that firmware over-wrote TWRP with stock recovery.
Most of the "ROMs" you were trying to flash before were RUUs, not TWRP-flashable ROMs. So hopefully, you won't have any issue flashing ROMs now.

I don't personally do "best ROM" recommendations for 2 main reasons:
1) There is no such thing as a "best ROM" for everyone. Each user has drastically different preferences and usage patterns. What is "best" for me, may not even be any good for you. You need to decide for yourself what is "best". If you want some ROM suggestions, there are plenty (IMO, too many) of existing threads with such discussions.
2) The notion of a "best ROM(s)" is insulting to the developers, most of whom do all this work for no compensation. If everyone kept recommending the "best" ROM(s), what point would there ever be for devs to introduce new ROMs or ideas? The variety/choice in ROMs is a good thing. Don't rob yourself of the potential "hidden gems" by being a sheep and doing what everyone else does, or just doing what a stranger tells you is "best".
You won't do anything to the phone by flashing ROMs, that isn't recoverable. We all occasionally run into bad ROM flashes, no boot situations, and other bugs. It's just part of the game. If you flash ROMs, root, or otherwise mod these phones; you have to live with the fact that sometimes things go wrong, and you have to know how to recover from those things.
If you stick with the M8 development section, and look for Sense ROMs, you will find what you seek. Don't flash any RUUs or firmware, unless you know what you are doing.

[Problem] With Unroot, OTA update and Version-main not showing

First of all , Hi everyone ! And please excuse my english, it's not my native language... (wich is French)
I did not want to brick my HTC One (m8) so i went here before to do something wrong.
I received my phone the first august and I rooted it 5 days ago, when it was in kitkat 4.4.2. I did not know that i had to update it to 4.4.3 (even if every man in earth should use his brain and do the update) before to root it.... (because now i can't install custom rom to use link2sd efficiently because all of the best custom rom (that actually use .ext partition on Micro Sd card) are in android kitkat 4.4.3 or 4.4.4)
I know that this question has been asked several times but i did not find the answer for my problem, so i'm really sorry to ask this but i have to.
Okay I rooted my htc when it was in 4.4.2 with TheUnlockr methode on youtube and since then the only things that I did is :
install busybox (twrp) , es explorateur, titanium backup, diskdigger,airdroid,apptoide,root checker, lucky patcher and clean master, NOTHING else.
Now i have to unroot my HTC to finally update it to 4.4.3
Problem is : when i do "getvar all" with hasoon200's toolkit (i'm following TheUnlockr's method to unroot the phone correctly), the field where i should find my version-main is EMPTY, and I absolutly don't know how to find it since I'm a total beginner on android.
My info : HTC ONE (m8)
Rooted with kitkat 4.4.2 (TWRP recovery)
actual software in : 1.54.401.10
cidnum: HTC__203
By any chance , can anyone help me ? THX 3000 times in advance since i'm totally lost !
That NOTHING else appears to include installing TWRP 2.7.1.x, which is where the problem lies, I don't know how to get it back, other than to reflash the firmware... Catch 22 if you don't know what it is.
Perhaps narrow down with a search of MID, CID and radio version.

FIRST: you should delete your IMEI from your post above!
Second: it is a known issue with TWRP that, after installing it version-main is no longer shown in bootloader, as already statet in this thread.
If what you wrote is correct you are on 4.4.2 with FW 1.54.401.10.
To unroot you could search for the unsupersu.zip and install it with TWRP.
After this you can download stock recovery 1.54.401.10 (assuming you data is correct and you are on the given Android version. This should enable you to receive AND install OTAs again.
The problem is, that without S-Off it is not that easy to flash the actuall FW again.

Okay i managed to S-OFF.
Do i follow the Unlocker way now or do I just use the unsuperuser from X site ?
Is it sure that i have to download the 1.54.401.10 stock firmware ? cause noone of these are with the htc_203
Thx verrry much in advance guys !

Ok you are S-Off and got 4.4.2 with ROM version 1.54.401.10 installed right!?
If so install the unsupersu.zip in TWRP and download firmware for ROM version 1.54.401.10. After you installed the unsupersu.zip reboot to bootloader and run the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip nameoffirmware.zip
DO IT AGAIN TO FLASH IT CORRECTLY!!!
fastboot flash nameoffirnware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Make sure OS is showing in Hboot. HBoot should be 3.16 and radio 1.16 if I remember correctly.
Congrats you are back to full stock. Reboot phone and check for OTA.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
The bug within TWRP has been identified, a fix has been submitted to the Gerrit of TWRP and it was also already verified and accepted.
The Next update of TWRP for the M7 and M8 should include it, if it's being build from the main tree.

This isn't even a similar issue as the OP, and this thread is 2 months old. Really shouldn't have dug up this old thread and posted to it. A different thread, or starting your own would have been more relevant.
Rooted phones still get the OTA notfication and download, they just won't install if it detects any system files have been modified.
Also, relocking the bootloader is not necessary to get the OTA or install.
Something else is going on. If you are stock ROM and stock reocvery, thre is no reason you shouldn't get and be able to install the OTA. Sometimes a factory reset will prompt the OTA to come through, for no explicable reason.

You should check around the forums to see if your specific version has had 4.4.4 rolled out. But I know most (if not all) Euro versions have been updated by now.

Your issue is no more urgent than anyone else here, that takes the time to post to an appropriate thread.
Seeking quick answers and not researching anything will always lead to more issues and maybe serious ones.

If anyone has no time for that.... Then this hobby may not be for you. ?

[Q] Bootloop after failed attempt to Flash new Firmware

Dear Community
As I wanted to update my ROM to Android 5, but with working WiFi, i tried to flash a new firmware. I'm on S-ON. My HBOOT is 3.16. After relocking and booting to RUU-Mode I attempted to flash the firmware.zip (version 4.19.161.2) which leaded to failure with error code 42. My CID is VODAP110 (Swisscom). After this not working i rebooted to fastboot, unlocked the bootloader again, reflashed recovery (philZ-touch, latest version). I tried to reboot and ended in a bootloop. So I went to recovery and reflashed the OS (SlimKat 4.4.4, build 8). After rebooting i was still in bootloop. I tried already to flush the cache, but this didn't help either.
Anybody had this experience or knows what to do, for bring my phone back to working? It mustnt be Android 5, but just working, so I can make phone calls again.
Also, here is my getvar all Dump:

What you need is a 2.xx.166.x 1.xx.166.x backup, but I don't have any idea on the full no.
So to have a working phone so you can make a phone call, temporarily just restore any of the 2.xx.xxx.x 1.xx.xxx.x backup from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
That's only a temp solution until you can find a right backup and firmware for your hboot 3.16.0000
If you want a Android for 5.0, you need firmware 4.19.166.2 which is available but I'm not sure whether you can jump from hboot 3.16.0000 directly to 3.19.0000
Jump should be fine, so long as it goes through without an error but I've gone from 3.16.0000 to 3.19.0000 having converted back from GPe to latest Lollipop RUU

Ok, but what exactly do I need now? Could you help me out finding the right file? I found backups for 2.x.161.x, but not for 2.x.166.x... And also what are the most secure steps for me to do now for avoiding a brick? Flashing the new 4.x.x.x so i can haz Android 5 or reverting to 2.x.x.x and stick with Android 4?
And also if you need some more data, screenshots, etc. feel free to ask for them

I wrote "just restore any of the 2.xx.xxx.x 1.xx.xxx.x backup" means any 2.xx.xxx.x 1.xx.xxx.x including the EU WWE... this just to get your device working again. But you're stuck at 4.4.2 for awhile. This is what at least you need for now as mentioned on post #1
Restoring a nandroid backup won't brick a device.
You can't install 4.xx.xxxx.x because hboot is too low version.
Damn ... just notice I gave you wrong info. hboot 3.16.0000 you can restore only 1.xx.xxx.x backup

I've tried now to restore the zip file... I used this one: 1.54.401.5 - CWM Philz touch. After restoration process I rebooted the system and then the Slimkat logo appeared again, and it's still in bootloop.:crying:
Edit: This is one problem i noticed already some time ago: I couldn't flash any other rom than slimkat since i flashed it the first time...
Edit2: Also After I flashed philz once I couldn't go back to twrp... THen it stuck in "Entering recovery" screen.
Sorry, i was an idiot, i didn't realise, that i need to extract the zip first -.-. I will try it again now.

Ok, im trying to restore now one of the downloaded Backups, however i can't manage to do so... It's always checking for img files, however it doesnt find them, and therefore doesn't restore them... Do I need to do anything special with the downloaded files?

I expect you know how to use a nandroid backup zip.
I want to help you but I'm not familiar with Philz recovery, only TWRP
The basic thing is, the nandroid backup zip to be extracted on PC. Then transfer the extracted the last folder that you see with its contents to recovery backup folder.
Also make sure the backup is meant for the right recovery.
What I read : philz --> Clockworkmod\Backups\
What I know : TWRP --> TWRP\BACKUPS\serialno\BackupFolderHere
For TWRP, simply make a nandroid backup of your boot, so you'll see the correct path then paste the nandroid folder that you extracted to this folder

Not possible unless:
1. Use SunShine (paid service) to S-Off then you can flash other region ROM
or
2. Search/google around for a backup for your region device 1.xx.166.x (I have no idea the exact no.)
or
3. A risky one - flash your region 5.0 firmware 4.19.166.2 then install any 5.0 ROM .. I cannot guarantee this will work on hboot 3.16 as its a big jump from 3.16 to 3.19 .. you may brick your device.

What did you think was going to happen when wiping the system (ROM) partition?
Simple rule of thumb, do not wipe a partition if you aren't 100% sure of what it is, or what the result will be.
Another simple and fundamental rule of modding these phones, once you install TWRP, make a TWRP backup (backup the current ROM). Before doing any kinds of mods (root, custom ROM, etc) if you have a TWRP backup, you can easily revert in case you have any problems.

This doesn't provide anymore info than you posted before. You didn't answer the question asked. I asked for the exact file name of what you intend to flash, and I asked that for a specific reason.
In particular, its completely unclear whether you are trying to flash a TWRP backup, an RUU, or something else. Further I wanted to see what version number you are trying to install.
Also, we need the getvar data as xunholyx requested to properly provide any further guidance. You simply have not provided nearly enough info for us to help you.

Hi friends, I live in India and have a HTC M8 Harman Kardon from Sprint running marshmallow (6.0) with Sense 7.0 and yesterday my phone switched off due to low battery which was normal thing for me as usual but after switching it on i had an error message "INVALID SIM CARD" saying "4G services are unavailable as the SIM/UICC is invalid. Please contact Customer Care. " .
My Bootloader speaks the following Info when I switch the phone Off and turn It on using "VOLUME DOWN" and "POWER" buttons simultaneously.
So a few details if someone could help me out regarding this above scenario :
***Software Status : Official ***
***RELOCKED***

Me too. My phone switched off to due battery and after switched on, i had a error message no sim card error, when i put on sim card, i get invalid sim card etc.
Try the RUU. For the Sprint version M8, RUUs are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
Note that relocking the bootloader is required to RUU if you are s-on. And RUU will wipe the phone.

Sprint version also, or no?
My advice, when posting, provide all the details you can about your phone version (and if you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results - delete IMEI and serial number before posting). Saying "me too" or "I have the same problem" without any giving any specific details about your phone, is never enough info for us to properly help you (usually just forces us to ask you questions about the details, before we can help).

Which RUU exactly (name, version number)? There are many. And in fact, flashing the wrong (non-Sprint) RUU can cause the no-SIM problem.

So you flashed the firmware twice in RUU mode, then the RUU?
Did they both run to completion, with no error messages (exception, you will probably get a message first time flashing firmware to "flush again immediately" which means to flash the firmware a 2nd time - this is normal).

Its very confusing, and difficult to troubleshoot, if you don't properly describe the device history. Describe step and step, and in detail the device history that led to this issue.
Did it work on CM, then you ran out of battery, and didn't work? Then you tried to flash firmware and RUU, and no change?
Did you try flashing anything else?
Did you s-off and SuperCID the phone, or was it done by previous owner or vendor?

I was install stock rom with RUU (what RUU version exactly?), then stock rooted rom with TWRP, then install Leedroid with backup TWRP ( i was installed Leedroid before stock ruu and backup it). I was work on Leedroid for 1 month and when battery due, sim card error. After i installed ruu (did you try the SIM before installing CM?), cm nothing change.

What does it say next to "OS" in your bootloader menu?

Tried to flash what? Can't troubleshoot what you did wrong, unless you tell is what you tried to flash. RUU, firmware.zip, or something else? What is the version number and file name?
That is in addition to the info requested in the previous reply.
Also, if you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can see more info about the device.

Still too vague for us to have any idea what you tried to flash.
I asked some specific questions for a reason; some of which you seem to have missed or ignored. I'm not just typing to exercise my fingers!

"Stock UK ROM" can mean a number of things. If you are talking about RUU, then calling it a "stock ROM" is not the right term (and confusing) since RUU is a complete image containing something like 41 partitions, with the ROM being only one of those partitions.
In fact, if you are referring to RUU, I don't think your version M8 (or most UK versions, for that matter) has a valid RUU. So you are likely in fact not even trying to flash a stock UK ROM. Which also explains the CID error.
On a positive note, good work figuring out how to do fastboot getvar all. If you can provide more info on what you tried to flash, we can make some progress!

Thanks for the replies, ive actually gotten somewhere today, Ive installed twrp, and installed the latest Lineage ROM which booted fine .
But.... Not detecting sim card
Always something haha
Another option (especially now that you have unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP), is restore stock TWRP backup 6.12.61.4 from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
No need to do Step 3, nor Steps 10 or after (only relevant to get OTA updates - which no longer applies to this device). Just reboot.

There is a button for that.
Quick update, Restored stock TWRP as you suggested, performed simunlock and am now a happy chappy with a working M8
Now, Whats the best ROM to use for it ? Is it worth installing Lineage ROM?

Glad the TWRP restore worked out for you.
No such thing as a "best ROM". Each individual user has different preferences and tastes. That's the reason there are different ROM choices. If there was a "best ROM", nobody would ever need anything else, right?
I am not personally a Lineage user (so good example right there how one person's opinion may not apply to you). But if you flash it again, I assume you can (or will) have the same problem with SIM not detected. I think I've seen other folks with the problem on Lineage (again, I don't really keep up with that ROM), so you should check the thread to see if there is a fix for that issue.

Understood. I would not have expected the "SIM not detected" error in that case. So thanks for clarifying.

Stock (Sense) ROM is needed to unlock SIM. Which you either figured out, or stumbled upon the solution by luck! :good:
