[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JetPowerss:
HTC One (M8) turns on to HTC Logo and says "No image or wrong image!" in Bootloader.

Hi,

My phone was rooted from this guide I followed. I'd like to convert it back but failed so left it running on InsertCoin 5.0.3 which worked fine. Yesterday, I tried to install a custom ROM called Skydragon Lollipop on it. I made a back up with TWRP before onto the SD Card. After I went through the installation process, it rebooted and just stayed on the HTC Logo screen. I restarted it and opened the bootloader but it kept going straight to hboot which says "no image or wrong image" (see pictures). I just want to get to recovery and restore the backup. It would be great if you could help. Thanks! BTW I have ADB installed on my PC too.

William

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Assuming those "wrong image" files are not things you placed on the phone, its trying to install an OTA update that doesn't correspond to your CID/MID. Connect the phone to your computer to mount internal storage, and delete the files to correct this issue.

If you are on old firmware (see post #2 of Skydragon GPE, 3rd question) it very possible the phone was just

really slow

to boot, and not actually "stuck"; and it may have booted after 10 minutes or so. This is a known symptom of being on old firmware. WiFi would also likely be broken, once booted. You need to either update to current firmware by official OTA, or obtain s-off and flash the firmware as instructed in the Skydragon thread.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

As far as I can tell, the OP of this thread (Matt) stopped checking it long ago. But folks keep posting various non-boot issues here. We're happy to help, but you would have probably just been better served starting a new thread, as it would have gotten more exposure that way. Many of the good M8 "helpers" here don't look at this thread, as it primarily pertains to an (apparently) now defunct "unbrick service".

Unless you know for fact that the GPE conversion works on the Verizon variant, you shouldn't have done it. You need to be really careful what mods you apply to the Verizon variant. There may/may not be hardware differences on the Verizon and Sprint CDMA versions (its been discussed both ways, have yet to read a definitive answer on this). So you should only apply mods that are specifically known to support Verizon.

Is the bootloader screen white or black?

Was black, now is white, I tried to flash and update via FAT2 sd card, and change the bootloader screen, have this:

Regards!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What update are you trying to flash?

If it was black (GPE bootloader) and now white (Sense bootloader) then you must have changed it back somehow. You are leaving out a lot of details and steps it seems, making it very hard to help you.

It seems like you may be trying to run a GPE update on a phone with Sense partitioning. So that is why you are getting the file size error.

My advice would be to ditch any conversion or updates.

You are already bootloader unlocked and s-off. Just flash a ROM that works with Verizon (GPE if available). You don't want to fully convert to GPE in any case. That version is intended to be used on the AT&T network, and has the AT&T radio.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrodx:
The bootloader change to white when that update fails, i follow a YouTube guide for gsm model, change my cid and mid to google and the phone stuck in bootloader, when i try to flash a sense rom the phone send me the file size error, now im downloading a stock nandroid backup from a verizon phone i will try that. Thanks for the advice.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Glad you fixed your issue. I'm just reading this post, and have to say, its far too vague to have been useful in any way. Its almost as if you purposely composed the post in a way to torture anyone that was trying to help you!

I asked (specifically) what update you were trying to flash, and you response was "that update". Seriously, that doesn't say anything at all. Link the thing you tried to flash, or at least use some specific terms to describe it other than "that update"!!!!!

Same thing when referencing the YouTube guide. "A YouTube guide" doesn't tell us anything. Searching on YouTube, I can find at least 5 different guides (GPE conversions) on the first page of results alone. Next time, just link it or describe step-by-step what you did.

Again, same thing with the ROM you tired to flash. Saying "a sense ROM" says nothing. Just link where you got it from next time.

Moral of the story, you need to be specific and give details if you want any help, next time you are in a jam. Otherwise it makes it difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to help you.

I found a solution to my problem, I found my back ups. (If you made them, they are on your phone, just look up a vid on how to find them) create a new backup and put your old backups in the new folder the backup creates and you'll be able to load your back ups

You could also choose to save your backups to extSD in TWRP. It's easier that way. Plus if your phone pooches out and you have to send it in for repairs, you can get back what you had when you get the replacement/repaired device.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

The M8 is actually pretty easy to work with... what custom recovery did you flash. TWRP 2.8.1.0 is recommended

After you have TWRP you set it to backup to your ext_sd ...do a test backup of just boot.img

now on your ext_sd you will have TWRP/Backups/yourSerial#/2014-16-12 nameOfBackup

Now you have a location to put the Stock nandroid backup your going to download for your phone here >> COLLECTION of Stock backup's

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

Now find your backup /download it / unzip it and put it in the same folder of the backup above /yourSerial#/Put download here

Restore that in TWRP and your phone is good as new.

HTC ONE M8 stuck on boot

I've tried to install the stock recovery on my Htc one m8, and now it won't go past the HTC boot screen.

I can get to bootloader....but no further....it had TWRP recovery on it.

Tried a few files but i'm all out of ideas

Can you help
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No, we probably can't. At least not with the info provided. This is far too vague to give any meaningful help. Please provide as much specific detail as possible when asking for help.

What were you trying to do when you installed stock recovery?

Does stock recovery appear (usually red triangle with exclamation mark) if you select recovery from bootloader?

You "tried a few files"? What exactly did you try, and what was the outcome, error messages, etc. for each?

Just put a ROM zip on the phone, be either adb push, adb sideload, or onto the removable SD card (with a card reader connected to your computer). Then just boot TWRP and flash the ROM.

Which stock recovery file did you try, exactly?

And how exactly did you flash it? I ask for specific details, and your response is you "followed a video". Seriously, this is your idea of specific details???
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeArabDude:
I have tried that with a stock rom 3.28.1540.5 and i keep getting the message corrupt file

Pretty sure its because of my copying because when I copy it speeds through the last 4 minutes

EDIT: How can I fix this twrp will install apks with no problem and my backup keeps failing. Thats how it happened I tried to restore my backup and then it said FAILED AFTER wiping system
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Try to download it again.

Where did you get it from (link it)?

fastboot erase cache and re-install TWRP. Try again to restore your backup.

If it still doesn't work, the backup may be damaged or otherwise not able to restore. It just happens once in a while. If so, you'll have to flash a ROM as I've already mentioned.

And moving forward, you normally don't ever need to wipe system. Flashing a ROM will wipe system automatically. Restoring a nandroid will wipe system automatically. So doing it manually is just a wasted step. And as you've seen, if the nandroid or ROM fails to install, you are left with no OS.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deli Creeper:
Hello XDA, I had posted a question before but received no replies. So here is what happened: I have an ATT M8 which I did a full conversion to GPe. After receiving 5.0.1 I decided I liked it, but would rather have something else. This is when I stumbled upon MultiROM. Installed MultiROM through the app in the play store and everything went fine with Lollipop as my main OS, however, after I did this WiFi did not work. (Stupidly?) I flashed a different kernel (ElementalX for GPe and not sense?) in hopes it would fix my issue, but of course it did not and proceeded to make my situation worse. Now whenever I attempt to boot the phone up it goes to the MultiROM menu but wont boot up after selecting my internal Lollipop; it just hangs on a black screen. I am able to get into recovery from the MultiROM menu so that's good. I need help! I've been using my old iPhone for the past week and i'm deeply missing my M8. If you need any other information I will be very glad to provide you with it. Thanks for reading and thanks for helping!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelangosta:
Doh!

Hi, all. Thanks for providing this service.

I could really use some help. I have a fully GPe converted(from AT&T) phone running on Sinless 5.0.1. I was trying to disable the navbar and use LMT instead but, I seem to have run into a major issue. At first I tried to use a build.prop editor and do the commonly known qemu.hw.mainkeys=1(I also did qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1) which did not work(operation failed toast message). So then I tried the build.prop option for removing it in the "Ultimate dynamic Navbar" app from the play store. It said it applied the edit and then tried to reboot. It never rebooted and it will not reboot even holding the power button for a while. Vol. down and power does nothing. Vol. up and power, then release power I get the reboot vibration, the Google screen with the lock(unlocked in my case) and windows will make the device connected sound. Then the screen goes black and windows makes the disconnect sound.

I did try doing adb shell and the daemon starts but I get a device offline error.

I have tried adb reboot recovery but, that gives me the device offline error.

Edit: Forgot to add that when I first connect it to the pc windows goes through the normal device driver setup and that is successful. It seems like its on but, the screen isn't working. Also, If i leave it connected to a wall charger it warms up like its charging.

Anybody have any idea what is going on? If I can just get into recovery I can probably fix the issue.

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Try holding power and vol up and see if anything happens.

What drivers does it try to install? HTC, Android Generic or otherwise (Qualcomm)?

Any charge LED come on, when charger is connected?

The OP hasn't responded to this thread for months. The only "service" is the same as you would get making your own Q&A thread or posting in another relevant thread. That being the help provided by other XDA users (like myself), and the main reason this forum section exists.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelangosta:
Okay, thanks for responding. So if I hold the vol up and power it gives me the Google screen with the lock. I just did it again and held it longer. This time it cycled through that screen twice and then it started charging( the battery with the animation came on the screen). It did have the charging light on this time, on previous attempts it did not. Now when I tap the power button at least the screen responds and shows the charging animation and the percentage has changed.

I'm not sure which drivers it is installing. It just says "installing device drivers".

I tried powering it on with just the power button but it only got to that Google boot screen and then failed again. That's actually a slight improvement as it wouldn't do anything with just the power button before.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, this is good that at least you can get the Google boot splash to show.

What I showed you with power + vol up is a forced reboot. Now do it, but the moment the screen goes black for a second to reboot (but before the Google boot splash appears) let go of those buttons, and immediately hold vol down. Don't let go until the bootloader screen comes up.

If you can get into bootloader, see if you can boot into recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelangosta:
Thanks I'll try that now. I had to go out without the phone and felt naked without it.

Edit: Okay so basically from a black screen(I assume it's off) I hold the vol up and power it takes about 10 seconds and then there's the vibration and the google screen at the same time. I don't have a time when the screen goes black and I can then hit the vol down.

Edit: Victory!!! I managed to hit the buttons at just the right time. It booted to the bootloader and from there I got into recovery and restored a nandroid. Thank you redpoint73!!!

HTC One M8 stuck in bootloop

Hi

I bought an HTC One M8 last spring - loved it. Updated it to GPE using Firewater S-OFF, then upgraded it to Lollipop without any problems.

Got fed up with the slightly less usable camera and lack of storage on stock android and decided I wanted to go back to stock Sense.

Long story short - I cocked up the ADB and fastboot commands and have left my phone in a bootloop from HTC white loading screen to red triangle and exclamation mark of doom - and can't seem to get it to return to bootloader at all. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Well I converted back last night, got stuck at same screen after applying the first Sense OTA(1.54.1540.9 - 2.22.1540.3) couldn't boot into bootloader either. What did work for me however was to plug it into the PC, listen and make sure the PC picks up the device, then while stuck in the white HTC screen, open a terminal in adb folder and type adb reboot-bootloader. That got me booted into fastboot mode from which I could restore a nandroid.

Worth a shot I suppose.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billyboy77:
Unfortunately, the adb reboot bootloader command isn't working. I can't manually turn phone off so I have to let battery run down, then charge it up, and power it on again. While it's powering on I type in the command and it just says 'device not found'.

I also get an error message from Android File Manager telling me that it can't connect to the device.

Any other ideas :(

Hello Guys,

I know SuperCID allows you to flash any Custom ROM made for HTC One M8 regardless of any carrier (verizon/sprint/International etc) but I wanna know would it brick the phone sometimes? or it rarely happens? Like suppose me have international version with SuperCID (1111111) and flash Verizon ROM :)

Don't do it. If you are on international, don't use ROMs for Verizon or Sprint. There is a reason they have separate versions. They won't be compatible.

You may be able to change your MID and run the Verizon RUU to convert it to a Verizon model, but I can't say for sure.
