Why a different one for the harman/kardon?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
They are a bootloader flashable version of the latest recovery.img for people that don't want to use terminal or fastboot... I know there are plenty of alternatives of flashing recoveries but I figured it would be slightly helpful.... The hk edition is because the Android.txt is different in the Harmon Kardon Edition... the SPCS number in particular... It wouldn't flash on H/k without that being changed so I simplified it for people who want to flash a recovery in their bootloader
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tetrabyt:
Can this be done with a stock HK recovery?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Can what be done? The recovery in this thread will replace the stock recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
If you are asking me.. this can be done on the bootloader not in the recovery
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tetrabyt:
I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I meant zipping up the stock recovery to be flashed this way?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
[MENTION=1256436]Rydah805[/MENTION] has a zipped up stock recovery for this phone here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2736048

Stock Backups + OTA's, to answer your question though yes this does work for that, you gotta be careful though that you don't flash something bad. It could brick your phone!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djjroc007:
Flashed the first one, and when booting to recovery, the team win screen just blinked at me.

I'm on bad boys rom, with the non h/k device though. Should I have used the h/k zip?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djjroc007:
Never mind. I am potato.

Forgot that I also tried to apply dazedandconfused wicked theme. Deleted the theme folded, and it booted to recovery no problem.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] flewpastu:
awesome thanks .... I've been on 2.702 since unlocked with all in tool kit and kept getting fails and wrong CID when trying latest. I didn't know it was different for HK so this went flawlessly thanks again
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
There's a new official version, and I really think you'll like it ;).

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] deakelem:
make that 2 new versions :) (only assuming here) but based off your post date 2.8.0.2 was just released then. Well now there is 2.8.0.3!! :)

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

Just a heads up to everyone... I've never had this happen before when updating twrp but I just went from 2.8.0.1 to 2.8.0.3 using fastboot flash recovery xxxx and my /sdcard path was wiped... all of me media. Fortunatelyj I had just wiped that moments before I updated twrp but I had pushed a couple zips to /sdcard before I did the update to 2.8.0.3.

So just a heads up...

But i do find this very strange since I have done this many times before and never had that happen and since its very late here perhaps i accidentally wiped the data myself... I know oi didnt wipe it via adb or fastboot but maybe a fat finger... but I am almost positive I didnt, I just updated to 2.8.0.3 as I normally do.

Anyone else willing to double check this? I added a zip to the root of /sdcard and reflashed 2.8.0.3 and it did not wipe but I am wondering if it did it cause i was updating from an older version before (the first time)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Fastboot flashing a recovery cannot wipe your internal storage. Something else happened that you must be forgetting.

EDIT: If you had just wiped before then it's possible you wiped internal storage instead of something else, as the partitions may be in different places on the wipe screen then you're used to. Make sure you read the boxes before swiping to wipe.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION], will you be posting CT version of this recovery? If not ill just stay with what im running now
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The new official version merged my device tree, so it's essentially similar to mine. Going forward, my builds will be discontinued (besides the MultiROM version).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
That's a bummer! Now you're gonna have to walk me through recovery build so I can try and maintain for standard version one haba
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Why would you need to maintain a separate version?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
Oh just to behave more things to do than already lol. Maybe add a feature or two prior to when twrp team would get around to it. Or is the MultiROM completely use able even tho I don't want to run multi roms?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It is. It says that in the thread, several times, in fact ;).

But there really aren't any features like that waiting to be merged at this point anyway. Hopefully by the time there are, I'll have a device (but it's not looking promising).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
Ahhhhhh nice nice, well sire my bust for not reading that updated thread since the MultiROM version! [emoji12] kool kool, so I won't worry about it yet than. Why not promising? Just taking long or hassling you?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Well I don't have a way to get a replacement right now, since warranty isn't an option since the device is fried. I'm trying to work with Elevate to see if they can do something for me, but it's really difficult to know what (if anything) they can do.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] something_new:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ycats:
I had installed the recovery 2.8.0.2 earlier in the week............was in the process of flashing a new rom, the factory reset wiped out my storage card...............nice!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That's why there's a 2.8.0.3.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ycats:
How do I install the latest?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
You can use the app Flashify to install the latest recovery once you've downloaded it to your phone. You can also put the recovery IMG file in your ADB/Fastboot folder and flash using the command "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery" (without quotation marks). Do this while connected via Fastboot USB mode while in the bootloader. There are also directions on the TWRP site how to install the recovery. If the recovery file is a ZIP file you can install it the same way you would a firmware update, by renaming the file 0P6BIMG and placing it on your external SD card, then rebooting to the bootloader. Select the Hboot option, allow the bootloader to scan for the ZIP file, then follow the on-screen instructions.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
Theres also "TWRP Manager (root) " by JMZ on Play Store, specificaly for TeamWin recoverys. Just throwin it out there.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ycats:
Tried TWRP Manager, doesn't have the latest version...........it has v2.8.0.2 which will wipe your sdcard upon factory reset.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
There are a few out there. I just threw out the name of the one I was familiar with;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
On 2.8.0.3 for the last few days, pretty great so far. Only thing, a little screen tearing booting into recovery. Tried re-downloading and reflashing (flashify) with the same issue. No performance issues at all just the little tearing. Anyone else notice this? Not a deal breaker, just mentioning.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It's a known issue. I would say it's not even worth mentioning. Just don't look at recovery when it boots.

And I wouldn't call it screen tearing; it's really just a very brief graphical glitch.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
Thanks Cap
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] totoakarocky:
can anyone please giude hwo to install stock recovery for installing ota update!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tetrabyt:
Same way you flashed TWRP. Just use the stock recovery image.

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I believe.. :D
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] drlzanej:
If its just so you can take the OTA, id just wait for [MENTION=1327219]OMJ[/MENTION] or someone else to modify the firmware and such. It usually happens literally within hours from release.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
How's the new version working for everyone?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bikegeek:
Not sure Cap. Installed the TWRP Manager and downloaded the latest for my Sprint M8, It showed the download complete so I booted into recovery and now it just keeps flashing teamwin and not going past that.

Update - it keeps crashing on flash of 2830 from TWRP Manager. I'll have to install another way.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I wouldn't recommend relying on any app to flash recovery for you. Use fastboot to flash it - it's the best and most reliable way.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bikegeek:
Agreed. Where the heck do I put the .img file? I have it in the internal SD root it doesn't see it. I have updated ABD to version 1.0.32.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Huh?

It should be in the folder with fastboot on your PC . . . I don't understand what you're asking . . . :confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bikegeek:
I just needed to move it into the correct folder.

Thanks.

Update - Doesn't seem to like 2830, 2803 flashed fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
2.8.3.0 is running fine on my end. Just made a backup a few minutes ago. Only issue I noticed was the nav keys blinked a few times while the backup was running. Appears to be cosmetic more than anything and didn't interfere with the backup process. Looks good with your curtain from MultiROM, too, Cap:thumbup:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Can you be more specific?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bikegeek:
I Fastboot flashed 2.8.3.0 and when I try to boot into recovery the TWRP opening screen just flashes and never goes past that. I flashed 2.8.0.3 and it goes into recovery just fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
What firmware are you on?

Are you using a custom theme?

Did you confirm you got a good download?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bikegeek:
Firmware - 3.30.654.2

Wicked Sensations

Yes
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Is your theme for this latest version of TWRP? Try disabling it, and then flashing the 2.8.3.0 recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bikegeek:
No joy. It flashes fine and upon boot it just "blinks" the TWRP opening screen,

No worries, 2.8.0.3 is fine for now.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Well it can't be fixed without knowing what's wrong. Could you pull a recovery log from 2.8.3.0?

You shouldn't even have to flash it. You should just be able to fastboot boot it. If adb isn't working when you do that, please try flashing it and pulling a log (adb pull /tmp/recovery.log).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Bikegeek:
Finally had some time to re-try this and it installed fine. Must have been the theme.

Thanks again.

Cannot perform backup... Flashed recovery several times
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
Could some one please post a hboot flashable zip?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Why would you need an HBOOT flashable zip?

Since 2.8.4.0, TWRP supports flashing image files, so if you have 2.8.4.0 on it already (or a theme that supports Flashify flashing, like Materialised), you can update recovery from within recovery itself.

There should be no need for any HBOOT flashable zip going forward. Unless you have a specific use-case that prevents you from using any of the aforementioned methods? And if so, I think you'd probably want to figure out how to make an HBOOT-flashable zip yourself and share it rather than asking for it :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
Because I have stock recovery now and no fastboot
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
All you need is the recovery image and an android-info.txt file to make the zip. You should be able to do that directly on your device. The android-info.txt comes from the firmware zip (ZArchiver can extract it), and just rename the TWRP image file to just "recovery.img", zip them together, name it 0P6BIMG.zip, and flash as you normally would through the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
Capt, you are a boss. I'll never ask again. Thanks for being a winner.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] METHOD1911:
What's up Captain. I have a question for if that's cool. I'm trying to find your latest TWRP recovery for the Sprint M8. I looked on the MikMik site but for some reason I cannot find the download link. I guess it's because I'm using my phone browser. Can you send me a link for the latest recovery if that's cool. Thanks in advance for all you do for us. I believe I'm using 2.8.4.0.

It should work. I renamed mine recovery.img as I don't think flashify recognized openrecovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
I used TWRP to flash it. Just select Install, and in the bottom right, click IMG. It will list all the IMG files, then when you select it, choose "recovery".

Reboot recovery, and it will be updated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
I used Flashify to install 2.8.5.0 without issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tandxcstar1:
Can anyone please provide a zip file flashable so I can install 2.8.5.0? I tried grabbing the adroid txt file grabbing .img file and creating zip and it does not work and shows failed when flashed through recovery. When just using .img file and flashing fastboot it shows flashed good but when trying to go into recovery it sits on RECOVERY... and NOTHING else... Any help would be appreciated since im still on TWRP 2.8.0.0 and cant flash .img from recovery. OR if anyone has zip of 2.8.4.0 that would help as well since that has img option for flashing. Havent messed with my M8 in months since getting my Note 4 :p Thank you
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
When you create a zip, it's for flashing in HBOOT, not recovery.

And since it sounds like you're on old firmware, you can either update that so that the newer TWRP will work or flash 2.8.1.0.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] NachoB:

method1911 M8
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
When you flashed the Marshmallow ROM, and it had that notification about setting up your SD card, did you choose an option? If so, which one did you choose? It seems that whatever you selected there may have broken your SD card. Try rebooting recovery and using the repair option in the Advanced Wipe menu on SD Card. Otherwise you might have to flash back to Marshmallow and set up the card differently, or flash back to Marshmallow to access your SD card to copy its contents prior to reformatting the card.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] METHOD1911:
I don't think I even selected a option. It's the internal memory or my actual SD card
