So before you two go at it.. you did realize his NO was a link right?

[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] the clarification necessary here is whether or not the poster actually has a custom recovery flashed already. As VZW just got their OTA for L... many are finding value in an RUU flashable TWRP zip. So they still have very good use around here... to your point up until they have a custom recovery already flashed which is capable of flashing an img file.

For further reference, flashify currently identifies and flashes sprint's TWRP onto a verizon device....lovely i know.

And for anyone else who reads this... CT was one of the first guys to have builds of TWRP that used blk names instead of numbers.. so this guy is looking out for everyone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
If you read the posts after that one I linked, you'll see I describe how to make such a zip if one really needed to.

I'm assuming no one read the whole conversation, though :rolleyes:.

P.S. It doesn't matter which TWRP Flashify flashes - they're all the same anyway. The pages will be combined once the new TWRP pages are done.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

To clarify, it wasn't a "rude no." It was a direct answer to your question with additional information provided. "Teach a man to fish" as they say.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yeah i did... Most will likely tune out after seeing "There should be no need for any HBOOT flashable zip going forward" on your post.... :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Btw, no worries about Flashify. The Verizon and Sprint TWRP versions are the same anyway.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If that's the case now that both are using blk names maybe we should talk them into merging them into a "cdma" version.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
There only needs to be one version. There's only one now (on 3 different pages). There will only be one page for M8 on the new TWRP site.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Nice... that will simplify things immensely.

Sooooo any options having this support decrypting the GPE edition ROM? It wont accept the password no matter what, and it seems to be non supported with TWRP since it's not straight AOSP.

No options.

Since no one's commented I figured I would. This is unified across the devices now and it worked for me on Verizon OneM8. 2.8.6.0
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
This has actually been unified since 2.8.0.3 . . . ;).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcole20:
Sorry I had no clue. I just got the phone and I've seen all the posts about the app flashing the wrong variants (Sprint) I assumed it was not yet unified. The title still implies a Verizon specific variant.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The problem with the app wasn't really the version being flashed - it was the block device to which it was being flashed that caused issues.

Since there are multiple variants of the device and there are already separate threads, it's just simpler to keep them as-is.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcole20:
Right, when I read the title and the first posts I assumed TWRP didn't know vzw vs Sprint partitions yet. I've not exactly been studying the m8s progress. Coming into a phone a year in is like trying to catch up on the changes of team rosters over the last decade in a day...while trying to organize info from 10 different sources. Definitely a first for me.

is the splash screen still the same old TWRP ...or has it been updated to the circles?

i flashed one a while back, 2.8.4.0 i think ...may have been modded, but it showed a newer splash screen ...ever since i DLed 2.8.5.0 and 2.8.6.0 from the twrp site, the splash screen is back to the same old same old ...i kinda liked the newer one

guess im wondering if i have the rigth thing and if im flashing it right.... tried with fastboot usb and flashify/rashr from the play store (all yield me same old splash screen with 2.8.6.0)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The splash screen hasn't changed (you were probably using one of my custom builds).

You can use the Materialised theme to change the splash to whatever you want, though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcole20:
Yeah the new version looks no different than twrp on any phone I've had.... Twrp has as long as I've used it been extremely themeable. You can modify what you see. I've never been ocd enough with recovery to want to modify it but that option is there. If you're seeing the latest version number you're fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d08speed3:
I need help! Decided to flash an AOSP Rom. Didn't like it and rebooted in TWRP. My TWRP says 0MB internal! I have no backups from what I did have. What do I do? It has to do with partitioning from cm12 correct?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Log?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] d08speed3:
Can't get any. Tried out BlissPop 3.0. Upon boot it was FC. So I went into my TWRP (Your latest) and my internal storage says 0MB. I just tried to reflash the recovery and same thing. All I did before installing BlissPop was a factory reset wipe and the wiped dalvik, cache, system, and data
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
What do you mean, can't get any? If you can boot into recovery, you can get a log.

Try running

restorecon -FR /data/media/0

in the TWRP terminal, reboot recovery and see if anything changes.

To get a recovery log, run

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Can't really help without a log.

I installed version 2.7.0.2 which the site said was the official version and tried to do a backup it took over an hour and was still working on backing up system. Is this normal?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
That's definitely not normal. Over an hour to backup something.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dsEVOlve:
So you got it fixed then? I think the reason it happens using the terminal emulator instructions is that they listed the wrong partition to flash to. It happened to me but I was originally running 2.7.0.0 and tried to flash over with 2.7.0.2. What I figured out was that 2.7.0.2 was where the system was supposed to be and 2.7.0.0 was still where the recovery was supposed to be. I rebooted to the "real" recovery, 2.7.0.0 and restored a nandroid backup and everything was fine. I think you could flash a ROM too with the same result. You're basically just overwriting the incorrectly placed recovery to something that will boot as system again.

Then I flashed 2.7.0.2 with Flashify once everything was back to normal. All good now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] w4itg:
OK what I noticed when I went into recovery was it backed up boot then system and that's where it hung for over an hour. I used the play store app to do a back up and it worked fine but I noticed it backed up data first then system and unfortunately I didn't watch the rest of it because when it was done it rebooted my phone. ES File shows it as 2.26GB of space. Does that sound right? It was a back up of my stock OS with only a few apps installed. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
That sounds about right. I got 2.85gb from my stock Rom with a few apps installed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
here is a template to make your own for whatever, you can put hboot.img, recovery.img, boot.img, etc, then add the .zip onto sd-card and should flash in bootloader.

put the recovery.img right in the main .zip folder with the "android-info.txt"

attached is the .zip template
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
There's someone experiencing a seemingly similar issue as you HERE... I've been trying to help them out, but I'm nowhere near that smart when it comes to Android. Wondering if perhaps you can assist? I just don't want to tell them to do something and have it completed FUBAR things.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dsEVOlve:
Yeah, I know just about enough to get myself into trouble but always been able to get out of it. If it were me (not being too familiar with using adb and fastboot commands) I would use the bootloader OP6BIMG.ZIP template provided above and drop the TWRP recovery IMG into it (renamed as recovery.IMG). Then copy it over to the root of my ext. SD card with my PC, put it into the phone and boot to bootloader. It should prompt to update when it detects the ZIP and will flash the recovery to the RIGHT place. Once done, you'd have to power down and remove the file from the SD card and put it back in. You have to remove the file so when you boot into bootloader again it won't try to update again. Once back in bootloader you can choose to boot to recovery which SHOULD be there now in the correct place. Once in TWRP jus flash a ROM.

Again, I'm not much more knowledgeable than the average xda user like yourself but this is what I would probably do myself.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wonkizzle:
No, its not fixed. :( I was trying to point out that I couldn't access flashify since Android wouldn't boot. I made my own thread detailing my problems (which have gotten worse) but ill post it here too in case anyone can help.

In my haste, before anyone figured out that the TWRP team listed the wrong partition to flash to, I decided to try and flash it again once more, using the same command I did before:

"su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43"

Only this time I did it within the terminal emulator in TWRP, thinking maybe I hit a typo the first time or something, and also since adb didnt list my device on my computer. And THATS when it all went to ****.

Firstly, it only vibrates every 10-15 seconds, stuck in a bootloop and crashing. Only when I hold Volume Down in between vibrates does the phone go into the bootloader. But theres the next problem.

Screen does not illuminate anymore, and I can only see whats going on when I shine a flashlight onto the screen. It will only go to the bootloader, will not load recovery, will not factory reset, fastboot getvar all returns a garbled mess of text that does not resemble the S/N or IMEI, and it seems anything I try to load through fastboot is fruitless. I need some real pros to see this thread, or im ****ed. And I didn't get insurance on the phone when I ordered it, so a replacement is out of the question. Im real upset that I ****ed myself here. I dont hold anyone responsible but myself, but I really wish the proper command would have been included in the instructions instead of flashing it to the wrong partition, twice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
I am also stuck with booting into recovery using the adb method ( dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 )

FIXED. I wrote the unsecure boot kernel from another topic, then reflashed twrp to recovery, both using fastboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 1ManWolfePack:
First of all, thank you OP for this. Much appreciated.

I'm currently staring at the red Verizon boot image. Used Flashify (first time) got into TWRP, played around for a bit, then went to reboot system. Asked to install SU, I have always said yes to that in the past. Got me to a white HTC One screen with a little legal disclaimer, then BAM! Red Verizon logo and stuck for 5 minutes.

Anyone else? :)

EDIT: Nevermind! "Android is upgrading" ...starting apps.

I finally found the right button combination and got it to power off :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dsEVOlve:
Could you link to the file you used for the others in the same predicament and list the exact steps you took?

The partition needs to be corrected on the device specific site as people keep messing up their phones with it. Might be nice if the OP warned against using it too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zounduser:
Hey troy, how long does it generally take before goo manager is synced with your recoveries? I don't have my laptop at the moment, and I want to update to the official recovery, I'm still using the non official. Thanks brother.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dsEVOlve:
Check your PM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Just had a thought... did you try flashing the insecure Kernel (in the M8 Android Development forum)? I wonder if maybe you don't have read/write access to your /system?

EDIT: Just noticed TidusWulf posted that's what they did to fix it...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wonkizzle:
Ive flashed recovery.img, boot.img, and even stock hboot.img and nothing is taking effect, with the exception of hboot.img which just relocked my bootloader, so now I dont think there is any other course of action. Fastboot wont flash anything successfully, and flashing anything in a zip via the bootloader wont work. So im at a complete loss.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
Did you ever flash the insecure kernel though? That may be what set it off...

Where can I find a zip file of this so I can h-boot using 0P6BIMP.zip?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I'm almost positive that the RUU thread has a .zip version of 2.8.6.0 in the OP that is flashable in RUU mode. He recommend flashing it before leaving RUU mode in his instructions. That means you can rename it to 06PBIMG.zip or whatever the magic name is (I think you had a typo above) and flash it in hboot.

edit

My bad, it's 2.8.5.0 but it's new enough to deal with the lollipop partition changes. It should get you up and running and you can find it here.

Clicking the link goes here:

Then click on TWRP 2.8.6.0 Released and then click on devices Link, enter M8 (or look up on list), clicl M8 All variants, under Download Links click Primary, the click "twrp-2.8.6.0-m8.img"

I recommend using fastboot from a PC.

Install TWRP on HTC One

1.	Power off your HTC One M8.

2.	Press Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously to enter into HBOOT/Bootloader mode.

3.	Use the physical volume keys to highlight Fastboot and select it by pressing the Power button.

4.	Connect your M8 to the PC via USB cable when it is in Fastboot mode.

5.	Open the Fastboot_files folder, press SHIFT key and Right click on an empty space inside the folder.

6.	A menu will popup. Select Open Command Prompt Here.

7.	Enter the following command one after the other to flash the recovery image file:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-m8.img OR WHATEVER IT IS NAMED

fastboot reboot

8.	Your device will reboot having installed TWRP already
