Once I load the zip file onto the SD card, u said : "when asked to flash choose Yes". Why would it ask if I want to flash it? If I go to hboot I won't be able to flash it thru my Mac's terminal bcs I'm no longer in fastboot mode, and I don't have a recovery where I can click to install/flash it.

Would u kindly plz explain to me how to go thru the last step? Thanks..
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Just rename and put it on external SD card (

mandatory

).

Reboot to bootloader and choose HBOOT, then it will find the file and ask you if you want to flash it, cause it's default behavior of bootloader.

You don't need computer, you do everything on your phone. ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
it will ask you because it will try to load that zip, then with volume Buttons and power you can choose it like in the hboot menu ! ...just do it and see it...
[One (M8) Android Development] baddoor:
starting to feel dumb about something very obvious which im still not recognizing

so i started up the phone normally, connected it to the Macbook, and thru android file transfer uploaded the file to the SDcard (the phones native memory, not an external SDcard)

disconnected the phone, reboot the phone into bootloader HBOOT, and it's not doing anything....

and i made sure its the only zip file .. unless it's in the wrong directly.. does it need to be in the root directory? because when u open up android file transfer prog i dont think it goes to the root folder since its not rooted yet :confused::confused:

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

wait , i just realized you said EXTERNAL SD card

i need to go get one i guess
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Yes, go get one, it's useful for flashing less important partitions on the fly, like this, without computer.

It's also useful for backing up stuff when you want to do a full wipe, or just to have backup... ;)

BTW, make sure you rename file to 0P6BIMG.zip (leading zero, not letter O).
[One (M8) Android Development] baddoor:
Soooo

got my sd card

loaded up the mobile, uploaded the file onto the SD card spelled exactly like you said

rebooted into fastboot and then HBOOT

automatically ran the zip file and then kaboom:

"

Model ID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press POWER to reboot

"

any suggestions?

Of note, at some point when i tried to re-do it i caught it processing the zip and it gave an error saying "wrong image file" before saying the above msg and asking me to reboot
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Went one page back to check that you are s-off, but to my surprise saw that I read it wrong... :(

Sorry... Won't work this way...

Let me read again your posts...

BTW, why don't you s-off? Have you tried firewater? It might work if you are on older FW.

EDIT: I'm unable to notice any mistake...

Try this: after fastboot flash recovery philz.img go directly in hboot mode then immediately to recovery, don't reboot in between. That is the only thing I noticed you doing different then me.
[One (M8) Android Development] baddoor:
I can't s-off bcs I don't have root access and don't have custom recovery to get root access and s-off it, which if I'm not mistaken is the way to do according to the only post I saw where I can s-off

I've already tried the fastboot flash recovery and switching to hboot => recovery directly without reboot, not successful
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Can you please reboot to bootloader and take a picture of it with another phone, or camera.
[One (M8) Android Development] baddoor:
So yeah.. i tried it again like you said..

delete the file from the SDcard and i took out the SD card

rebooted into fastboot USB, and did a manual flash of philz recovery thru Mac's Terminal, and everything went OK

when i clicked back on HBOOT and then on RECOVERY, it rebooted the phone right back to this, without going thru the new recovery (6.48 version)

attached is an image of what i see on the bootloader screen after choosing RECOVERY

second picture is what it looks like after choosing HBOOT

[One (M8) Android Development] baddoor:
I'll be damned.. you're right.. i had no idea u needed a different custom recovery for dual sim phones.

using that other method, i booted using the recovery on the computer (./fastboot boot filename.img) which allowed the phone to boot using that file, got root, and then went back and flashed that recovery onto the phone... so it all works

unfortunately s-off doesnt seem to work using Vomers guide, i might have to get SunShine and fork out the 20$

Can u please update the Change History on the Main-Thread?

Update: Im getting the "Cant mount SD-Card" Error in 6.57.8, revertet back to 6.48.4 and all works fine!
[One (M8) Android Development] clever_man:
Just installed this version and recovery can't mount my sdcard (sdcard1).

Previous version worked good, card working normal (reboot in a system and check this). Tried to restore settings to default but this not resolve the problem.
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
I will look at it. Could be caused by the new CyanogenMod sources

Also, does it boot into recovery when charging in offmode?

If it is the case, please upload a recent m8 recovery.img and boot.img from latest fw. That way we get rid from CM kernel

Looking to fix this last release from me

you can revert to this version and download the bootable/recovery/device_images files to put into your recovery sources instead of new ones:

[One (M8) Android Development] Forsaked:
Jumps into bootloader when charging and recovery cant startet, it goes direct back to bootloader!

[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
mount sdcard is ok?

Other bugs except the offmode charging issue?
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
IDK, recovery doesn't boot, jumps to bootloader...

Looks to me that you are sleepy and misunderstood both of us. ;)

Edit: or you mean 6.57.8? Let me check...
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
ah, ok

recovery always boot into bootloader you mean, no gui!
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Yep.
[One (M8) Android Development] Forsaked:
No he means 6.57.9, which doesnt boot into recovery.

Every little change foward gets a new build number, so 6.57.8 is over 24 hours old on goo.im!

[One (M8) Android Development] beanbean50:

[One (M8) Android Development] v1rk:
I'll post a log tonight
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
here's mine ^^
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
More info needed here

Did you wait until device rebooted by its self? That is important

Else, it means the logs were not saved if it is a random unexpected reboot

All of you are having the reboot issue?

Also, after reboot, you're back to recovery or to main system?
[One (M8) Android Development] v1rk:
Hi

Ive attached an log which managed to make a quick log but dont if its any help. For me spending a few minutes within the recovery cause the phone and reboot. The same issue is with when making trying to make a backup, a minute or two the screen freezes and reboots.
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
sadly, all the logs are not of a big help

either they are not properly done, or, it is a random reboot that cannot be catched in logs. We'll need a kernel dmesg

Anyone can answer this:

- After the device hangs and reboots, you are back to recovery or it boots you to main system?
[One (M8) Android Development] v1rk:
Boots main System

I will try to clean up my ramdisk to see if it fixes the issue. Or maybe, the kernel is still immature. I used fw v1.54.401.5

[One (M8) Android Development] v1rk:
Its working thanks, making backing up now without any issues
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
would be great

waiting a few more minutes to believe :)

1- What about backup to exfat: is it fast?

2- Also, if you start aroma file manager (double tap on screen), can you see contents of an exfat formatted sdcard?

3- offline charging is ok?
[One (M8) Android Development] v1rk:
Not a problem, back up seems to be running fun, SD card was slow but that was down to speeds of the card.but to the phone its quick. I'll check it out once its finished.
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
well, you're in fuse

seems I forgot to enable the tuxera exfat flag

Will update in a few seconds
[One (M8) Android Development] v1rk:
No problem, selecting aroma file manager shows no clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip in storage paths

and the phone doesnt charge but I will be home in 30mins so will check everything from there again. Also will try back up to USB OTG
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
Aroma: you must put it in clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip

[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Nope, doesn't boot. Again goes straight to bootloader.
[One (M8) Android Development] Forsaked:
I can confirm this, same result as the version before!
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
sorry, I have no time to try more repacks to fix the issue

You'll have to wait for CM to fix their broken kernel for recovery or have someone to repack on a completely stock ramdisk. However, it will only work on m8, not on any other variant

6.57.8 crashes while performing backup

I just tried to make a nandroid backup of my current OS, and I got a crash towards the end of the backup. It seemed to be working, but right towards the end /data, the phone rebooted leaving an incomplete backup folder.

Note, I booted it from fastboot, I still have a stock recovery installed. Given that it wasn't installed, I'm not sure if there is any way to recover any information about the crash.
[One (M8) Android Development] KotTHECat:
Hi Phil3759! Can you please fix the graphic glitch (in the attachment)?

[One (M8) Android Development] fix-this!:
love philz recovery but since i cant see aroma installs while using it i had to go to twrp.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sidewindr:
Actually the issue seems that for philz_touch_6.57.8-m8.img using the menu you cannot mount /storage/sdcard1 if the sdcard is formatted exfat ..

It is possible to mount the exfat sdcard if you use adb to shell into the recovery and then manually mount it via the cmd line ..

The mounting from the menu issue does not occur if the sdcard is formatted FAT32.. sounds like a typo in a menu config somewhere ;D

Hope this helps .. :D
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
So, 6.57.8 boots or not? I removed it because people said it doesn't boot into the device

If it works for you, can you post your device variant and the bootloader version (Sprint, Europe, Verizon...)

Also, about exfat, the versions were mainly test, so exfat could be broken in fact because of the different kernel
[One (M8) Android Development] kardus:
Hi Phil,

For me it boots, but I can not mount external SD as I can with older 6.48.4

bootloader versión is 3.18.0.0000
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
6.57.8 was always booting, 6.57.9 never did boot. ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Phil3759:
ah, yes, true

I tried the stock kernel on 6.57.9

The issue to mount sdcard is probably related to CM kernel undergoing massive changes

Maybe if it is recompiled later when they fix things it will work

Hello, I have installed the Philz Touch Recovery 6.57.8 on my htc m8 after updated to the latest FW available. I had previously unlocked the bootloader and got s-off.

Now whenever I connect the phone to the charger, when it's turned off, automatically starts the recovery.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Long story short: you can use 6.26.6, it has no bugs (which are not caused by [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] in newer versions).

Anyone else have any luck?

I'm on stock 3.28.401.6.. (S-Off)

Thanks

Edit: with v6.57.8, the phone just hangs in the white bootloader screen same with v6.48.4 also. I say 'hangs' but if you push the screen, you can feel haptic feedback, as if though it's probably loaded but the white bootloader screen is in the way or something?

The command issued is fastboot boot philz-xxx.img
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
You need to type "fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_here.img" without the quotes. Not sure if that's what you were explaining but anyway...

Looks like the external SD-Card cant get mounted in 6.57.8 when you upgrade your firmware to 3.28.401.9 (or the carrier equivalent).

i can restore the back from recovery but i am unable to even boot into hboot to go further

any light on this will be great help

Hold volume up and power button until phone starts to reboot, then quickly press volume down and power to enter bootloader. That's it. You know what to do next. ;)

Note: while I must say, with great regret, that PhilZ recovery is discontinued for M8, "other one" has made some significant progress and has become very reliable...
