[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave O:
Sick recoveries boot to the red ! You need to press the power and volume up button to get into the menu but you can't do very much there unless you have s off and ota to install manually. You can extract the stock recovery from the OTA that you just downloaded and flash it through fastboot. You do need stock kernel stock recovery and stock rom to install the OTA. It doesn't matter if you're rooted or unlocked bootloader but after installing the OTA you will have to reroot with a custom recovery again but it won't relock your bootloader.

I'm no expert but these are things I ran into and found out by asking.

In the end out was just easier to s off and convert to developer edition because there is an ruu available for it.

Good luck

You need the stock ROM, the stock recovery, and an unmodified system partition. Xposed modifies /system.

Using Xposed, uninstall all of the modules you have, then uninstall Xposed itself. The OTA should work after that..

Can't flash stock recovery to apply ota :(

Thanks for your suggestion: I extracted the recovery.img from the firmware.zip within the OTA update, but still the recovery boots to the red triangle - how bad is this for my phone? My understanding is so long as I can access the bootloader to fix it, it's not causing any harm. Also, any idea why it's booting to a red triangle? Could it be a firmware mismatch somewhere? Or is it because I have Xposed modules active, as xunholyx mentioned below?

Okay, I have the stock ROM, but currently my problem is that I cant return to stock recovery. For some reason when I restore my stock recovery.img from

a PhilZ backup or via fastboot, recovery keeps booting to the red triangle. I've tried multiple stock recovery.imgs, including the one I extracted from the OTA I'm trying to flash.

Thank you for your help folks! :)

From the red triangle, hold power + vol up. That will take you to recovery.

The red triangle means you have stock recovery now.

If he just holds power and volume up he'll reboot the phone again after 10seconds. He must hold volume up key and TAP the power button to get into the stock recovery options menu.

Thanks for correcting me. I've never dealt with the red triangle myself. Never felt the need to go back to stock.
[MENTION=3300636]toastyy[/MENTION] Please read the post I am quoting.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastyy:
Thank you for the info. So this whole time, the red triangle doesn't mean I flashed a screwed up recovery after all?

What I have been doing is flashing the recovery via fastboot and then rebooting into recovery from fastboot immediately after. Each time it has still booted to the red triangle. According to what you both are saying, I just need to hit a button combo to enter stock recovery from the red triangle?

Cheers!

Edit: I am dumb. I assumed the red triangle alone meant my recovery was messed. As BerndM14 and xunholyx mentioned above, pressing vol up then power on the red triangle recovery screen brought up the rec menu. Thanks for your help and patience with this new HTC one owner :).

I would go s-off BUT it says my phone is not close enough to stock for it to take. AND not my phone wont flash any rom so im just stuck on a the boot image or whatever when its loading. Which really sucks. Apparently I have the M8 that is not compatible with anything and it bums me out.

If I can every find a ROM that is somewhat close to stock so I can S-off then yeah Ill do that for sure. The issue is finding a rom that even wants to work on my phone.

Well seeing you posted 0 info about your phone I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say your on 4.4.3 so

Download this >> http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_11.2.zip

and put it on your ex_sdcard.

now flash TWRP 2.8.3.0 from here >> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m8.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Next you enter recovery and choose Wipe / Format Data / Type yes / This will delete everything on the phone but the ex_sdcard

when it's done choose reboot / recovery / now flash the Rom and you should have a working phone

anyone by any chance have the stock ruu+recovery or a nandroid and all files needed to revert back to a stock fido M8?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacificnw:
Check your CID on the bootloader screen, it's possible that since Fido is a division of Rogers their M8 might just be Rogers software. If that's the case, just get the Rogers nandroid at the beginning of this thread that corresponds to the HBOOT version that's listed under the CID. With a stock recovery installed, and if you haven't changed the CID/MID, you should be able to just update through OTAs all the way to the latest software version.

If you need the stock recovery too, search around for an uploaded OTA file on the threads here that matches the software version you'll find under Software Number in Settings > About > Software information.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewtram:
I'm currently running the Android Revolution HD 11.1 ROM on my M8, but I haven't been able to flash ARHD 32.3 successfully. I'm thinking it might be a firmware issue?

I checked my device today, and my CID is TELUS001, and it says that it's hboot 3.18.

As far as I know thus far, ARHD 32.3 requires a firmware of the 3.x.x series and my hboot will only allow firmware from the 2.x.x series. Is there a way to update my firmware to the 3.x.x series and then flash ARHD 32.3 to have it work?

I'm fairly new to this aspect of rooting/unlocking/installing Custom ROMs, so any help would be appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacificnw:
Based off the first page of this thread, if you're HBOOT 3.18 then you're at firmware 2.x.x, and you'll want HBOOT 3.19.

Telus 2.23.661.2 - HBOOT 3.18

Telus 3.34.661.4 - HBOOT 3.19

If you just want to update the firmware, you should be able to extract firmware.zip from the Telus OTA that upgrades the software and firmware to the 3.x.x series.

I found the OTA you're looking for in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376. It's under OTA Updates > Branded CIDs > TELUS001. Download the file and extract the firmware.zip in there. As always, double check CID, HBOOT, and your firmware version (in 'About Phone') to make sure you're updating from the right firmware.

A quick search through Google/XDA and you should find instructions/tutorials on how to correctly flash the firmware. Hope that helps!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
It's not the best solution to check software version from "About phone" in settings. If you run a custom ROM it shows the software version information for what the Custom ROM is built on. I've seen plenty of people asking for help in the backup thread already because restoring a x.xx.401.x didn't work for them. They also looked at "About phone" and saw the x.xx.401.x which it was built on then falsely thinking they are on x.xx.401.x where they might just be on x.xx.531.x .

If they didn't change their CID on the device then it's best to go off of the CID number and find the matching software(firmware etc) from that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacificnw:
Ah yes, true, thanks for correcting me on that. But assuming the CID hasn't been changed and an HBOOT of 3.18, then the files from the OTA are what they'll be looking for to update their firmware.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewtram:

Yes, I am currently S-Off! Based on the previous post, I believe I just need to download the correct firmware and flash it via TWRP?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webbles17:
Nope you can't flash firmware in recovery. Use the "firmware flashing without the panic attacks" thread.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Okay, do this:

First go SuperCID. This will allow you to use any WWE firmware.

Get into ADB/fastboot and enter fastboot devices to make sure your PC and your phone are working together. If you see a bunch of letters and numbers (your ser. no.) you are hooked up.

Then fastboot oem rebootRUU wait till you get the black screen with HTC logo (RUU mode).

Then fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones)

Then fastboot reboot-bootloader. You are now SuperCID. Reboot your phone.

Now download this firmware.

This is 3.28.401.6 firmware. After flashing this you can update to the newer 401.9, but leapfrogging updates can sometimes cause issues. I will link you to 401.9 at the end. Flash it the same way.

Using a file explorer, rename the download to "0P6BIMG.zip" (that's a zero, not the letter), and place it onto the root of your extSD. By "root of" I mean just on the card and not in a folder.

Go to you bootloader and pick hboot. Follow what it says on the screen (vol. up to confirm the flash, power button when it is done to reboot.)

That's it dude. You have new 4.4.4 firmware. Make sure you delete the file from your SD card when you are done, or else every time you go to hboot, your phone will try to update again.

Now you can update to the newest 401.9 by downloading this and using the same method. Make sure that after the flash, you delete it from SD.

This is absolutely the fastest and easiest method of updating firmware. :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webbles17:
I prefer just adding my cid and mid to the file in the firmware. Way easier.

How is it easier? Go SuperCID, and never have to add anything any more.

Where it then loads, and then gives me a message afterwards stating:

Press <POWER> to reboot.

When I go back into the bootloader, the HBOOT still remains as 3.18. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
[MENTION=5594919]andrewtram[/MENTION] Holy crap! That was a slow download. And the first time I tried failed. But, I just flashed 401.6 successfully (same download I provided). Try it again. Or it might have been a bad download.

If it is doesn't flash again, delete it and download the firmware zip from here. It'll probably download faster. lol

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

What? I've never heard of that happening before. Ever. If it was changed to S-On somehow before you tried updating, that would cause the fail.

OKAY. Back with an update. I managed to get S-OFF again, write my cid to be 11111111, and flash the .zip file. Now it's just stuck at the "HTC powered by Android" screen.

Any recommended steps from here?

Edit: Was able to get into fastboot, and install TWRP. Currently trying to flash ARHD 32.3.

Edit2: Alright, still stuck at the HTC logo screen. I have no idea.

The first boot of a new ROM can take a while. Sometimes up to 10 minutes. We have this question often at ViperOne.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewtram:
Usually after the initial "HTC powered by Android" screen, it usually goes into the "HTC One" splash logo screen for me! It's sort of weird, maybe it's just an ARHD thing because I haven't been able to update it since 11.1. Each occurrence signals a softbrick, and me just re-flashing the ARHD 11.1 ROM.

Although ARHD 32.3 didn't work, I was still able to flash my old ARHD 11.1 ROM again. Right now my phone is sitting with that ROM, a SuperCID, and updated firmware. Although my original end-result wasn't really reached, I am happy with the progress that I've made so far! Maybe i'll figure it out someday soon, but for today I think I have reached my limit on patience.

Thank you for your time, effort, and useful posts [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION]. Despite the setbacks, I highly appreciate it! This is all one big learning experience, and you've definitely helped me come along as far as I have. I've learned a lot.

[MENTION=4574113]webbles17[/MENTION] I know that you mean no harm with your posts. I'm sure there are nothing wrong with both of your guys' methods, and getting the errors/mishaps that I did could very well be entirely user-based. What I will say though, is that at least [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] attempted to help, you know? Saying "Look where it got him" doesn't help the situation for myself or both of you. If you would have just explained your process and give evidence/reason as to why it might be "better", that would have gone a long way not just for me, but for anyone else viewing this thread for help and assistance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:

If you guys can't be civil with each other, don't communicate with each other. It's as simple as that. I don't wanna see this kinda junk again so if you've had a post edited or removed you know why.

If you find yourself in a similar situation in future, simply ignore the other member and send a report to the mod team without responding further so that we can handle it. Continuing to respond to each other simply escalates the situation further than is needed.
