HTC One M8 Brick

Thank you so much in advance for your help! I am having an awful time trying to figure out how to fix my HTC M8. I accidentally deleted the OS and cant fix it for anything. I can boot to TWRP but I have no idea how to fix it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
adb sideload a ROM or adb push a ROM to SD Card. You can also remove your SD Card from the device and put it in a card reader on your PC and put a ROM on there. You can mount the Storage(in TWRP) on the phone and see if you can copy a ROM over to SD Card from computer that way.

You can also try to get a nandroid backup on the device and then restore your device that way. You can find backups in the Collection of backups thread in general section.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethutsman:
Ive already tried this. It wont load the RAM. Im going to try the backup thing also though
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
That doesn't say much mate... Can't help if you don't give proper information. What did you do to try and get ROM to the device? Did it give you an error when you tried to adb push or adb sideload? Did you do this from within the adb folder with the ROM inside the adb folder? Did you use the SD Card method by using a card reader and trying to copy it over that way?

More information is required...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethutsman:
Sorry, I have tried to install the RUU through the install menu, it just said failed. Ive tried to sideboot and my computer gives me an error saying "cannot read" i successfully pushed it to /data/media/0/ as a zip file. and yes I did have it in the ADB folder. I dont have an SD card reader, I used an old android instead. Is that more helpful? I apologize, I should have been more descriptive.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
If you managed to push the ROM.zip to /data/media/0/ then you should be good to go. Just go to "Install zip" in TWRP go to directory where ROM is and select it and swipe to install. You can then do a nandroid backup once the device is running the custom ROM if you so prefer.

Just for general info though. If it was a custom ROM you pushed, make sure it's one that is for your devices current firmware and not a newer ROM on older firmware else you WILL have issues with Radio(No bluetooth, wifi, data, gps etc).

HTC One M8 rooted stuck on endless loop after downloading Multirom

My phone is an HTC One M8 running Android Revolution HD and TWRP Recovery. I recently downloaded Multirom thinking that I could hold multiple roms just by downloading the app. The app told me to reboot into Recovery mode to finish installation, and I rebooted into recovery. The only roms that were available to boot in was Internal so I just chose that. Turns out Internal will always get me stuck into the htcONE boot screen even after 1 day of waiting. If I try to go into bootloader mode and go into factory reset, it brings me back to the MultiROM menu everytime. I cannot even access the phone from the computer to edit the files. Please help, thanks!

Verizon HTC One M8 Black Screen Brick

Hello,

I was trying to fix my clockworkmod recovery with a command i found: "echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0"

Now my phone's screen just stays black.

I managed to get into RUU without seeing the screen but when I tried to install a stock version of my phone it gave me "FAILED (remote: 41 model id check fail)"

I would appreciate any help to get it un-bricked.

Thanks!

No Firmware left on HTC One M8

Hey Matt, I was running on Viper 2.5.0 Sense 4.4.3 Firmware 2.22.401.5 CID HTC_038. I wanted to upgrade the firmware of my phone from 2.22.401.5 to 3.28.401.9. I followed a thread on XDA of [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] FUU Firmware and flashing. I followed all the steps except for making my phone S-OFF. The FUU tool showed the error I have attached. Now I got no firmware on my phone. Even tried flashing update of 2.22.401.5 back, but no use. How to I flash a firmware on my phone? or How do I turn my phone S-OFF as I cannot connect my phone to the PC? Phone stuck on silver Htc logo screen when connected without any progress bar. And security fail RUU when disconnected. Please help.:crying:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Since all M8’s can have S-Off, (and ONLY if you get S-Off!) we can also update the Firmware without the need of HTC’s OTA’ or RUU, yet the stock update way will still remain the safest way. Stick to that if you don’t have reason to come here and choose this.

Copied and pasted from the very first sentences in the OP on @Sneakyghost's firmware thread.

The best advice I can give you here is to learn to follow instructions.

Bricked M8 after GPe install

Matt,

I followed the GPe tutorial at XDA to the letter without any speedbumps along the way, but my M8 appears to be bricked after install. Unable to boot into bootloader or recovery. Stuck at HTC splash screen. Unable to reboot via pressing power button for any length of time. Will gladly pay for your assistance sir.

Thanks.

Return to Stock

Hi, I'm on 4.4.4 with the bootloader unlocked and rooted. I want to return to 100% stock in order to sell the phone. Unfortunately I'm s-on. Can you help at all?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The only way you can do this is by getting S-OFF. With S-OFF you can remove the red text, the modified text, tampered text and then relock your bootloader, unroot, go S-ON and sell it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compughtec:
I thought that was likely to be the case but I've tried firewater and sunshine with no joy.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Hold down the power button +vol up until your phone reboots (20 seconds or so). AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK slide your finger from vol up to vol down. You are now in fastboot. You can fix your stuff from there, or choose to enter recovery from there if you wish.

bricked and almost no hope left

I'm stuck people, tried to put a custom rom and ended with a bricked phone. i unlocked the boot loader and rooted the phone. to try to get s off i followed some instructions to flash a rom with a kernel which plays better with firewater. the zip got corrupted, i ended up with a phone without a rom, with custom recovery twrp , s on and will not flash zips. i tried to sideload another rom but it goes to 100 percent, i get a message fail. maybe the s-on is causing the trouble. also i relocked and again unlocked the boot loader.

also when in recovery, adb devices gives me my phone, but when in fast boot for sideload now it won't register my device.

sorry for the english and the trouble, cheers!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
If you can get into recovery, it should be an easy fix. Put a ROM on your extSD using a card reader and your PC. Put the SD into your phone, and enter recovery. Flash away. You should be okay after that. Be patient on the first boot. It will sometimes take up to around 10 minutes.

S-On will not affect your ability to flash ROMs.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
What does the "message fail" say? Doesn't help us to just say it fails but you don't tell us why it fails.

S-ON has nothing to do with flashing custsom ROMs. You can flash custom ROMs S-ON or S-OFF just need unlocked bootloader and custom recovery for that.

You can NOT use adb commands in fastboot mode. ADB commands can only be used in the booted OS and recovery. In fastboot mode you need to use fastboot commands i.e fastboot devices , fastboot flash recovery recovery.img etc

As said in the post by unholy just load a ROM onto your SDcard and flash from within TWRP that way.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avantardejack:
thank you very much for your answer. the thing is that i did that, i have loaded 10 different rooms on my sd card, but when i try to flash them, installation gets aborted, and it says that the zip file is corrupt, on twrp. on philz touch( i tried that one to) it says "can't open and the location of the zip (bad)". what may be causing this?

Please Help: HTC One M8 in Boot Loop

Matt:

I hope you can help. Attempting to eliminate my phone from running Blink and and a hidden .apk (a new one on me) which purported to somehow allow access through a locked screen (an HTC written and pre-installed .apk) I manually stopped both through the application manager. Then, went a step further and froze both apps.

My phone more or less immediately locked up. I did a normal power off and reboot and that led me to the never ending "HTC White" boot screen. My guess is one or both of these programs has to run before the phone will complete it's bot process. Since I couldn't get the phone to respond to the power switch (after even 60 seconds), I consulted xda and was able to perform "power button + vol up" to cause a power cycle of the phone, even able to transition to the vol - button which allowed me to get to TWRP. Here I attempted reboot, factory reset (from HTC bootloader), quickboot, and fixed permissions, all with the same unsatisfactory result, back to the white screen. When the HTC bootloader comes up it seems to perform some quick checks (green letters?) but the results flash so quickly I can't read them.

The phone is an HTC One M8 from T-Mobile rooted with (from memory, sorry) Modified at the top of the HTC screen and "the stuff" is ON, not OFF. I rooted and unlocked the bootloader (?) through the procedure which includes going to the HTC web site, getting a code, etc. Other than despising the phone, it's worked as designed. I'm replacing it with a Sony Z3, and need to get the phone to as near factory reset state as possible to return it. I don't care about any content on the phone, and have no need to recover it.

Other things I tried were booting into safe mode (couldn't) and getting frustrated and swearing (didn't help at all). From all of what I've read, I'm guessing that I need to flash a factory ROM to the phone and go from there. As you can tell, my photo is known to show up all accounts with the name "dumb user" so any detailed list of steps would help me, so that I don't use my imagination as to what buttons to push. Referrals to procedures already written would be great, I just have found so many sometimes conflicting instructions I'm at a loss for a clear path.

Thank you in advance!

My wife's phone...

Anyone know why she should be getting this message for the likes of Google chrome, drive, play books, search, etc, etc... clearly, it can't be true!

I have her bootloader unlocked, rooted, running xposed with a couple of modules, and a tweaked kernel (ziddey's USB-OTG tweak).

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't get any of these apps to update!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebuddy:
Possibly need to update Google services , that said I have never came across or seen anyone come across this problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basily:
Yeah, I'm completely baffled. No one else with ziddey's kernel tweak is complaining about this, so I'm hesitant to suspect it.

Cleared cache and dalvick, fixed permissions, cleared data on the play market and vpn'd into the US, still same problem.

I'm not sure how I would update Google services... isn't that something that would update automatically?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
No it will not auto update, but it will usually prompt you once you update an app that needs it... there will be a "Security Update required" notification in the drop-down, if you swipe it away or don't allow it to update, Android will gladly let you but your apps will not function properly that require the update. The current version installed can be found in Settings-Apps-All- Google Play Services and should be 4.3.25 (1117461-036) as of this posting

It will also not allow you to search or find it in your Apps list in the Play Store without the direct link, so here it is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

Hope that helps, because otherwise a factory default might be in order, and if the problem still persists, reflashing stock images could be required.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basily:
I guess I'll have to flash back to stock - no idea why this is still happening...

I tried sideloading the latest Google Play Services, it worked, but still the "you're device isn't compatible..." error appears for many apps. Then I tried deleting accounts, clearing cache and dalvick, fixing permissions, then re-adding accounts. Same. Then I tried sideloading the latest updates of a couple of google apps (books and drive) - it worked, but still the error message in the Play Store.

Oh well. I guess that's that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metpage:
Did you modify the screen resolution? if so that could be why you are receiving that error. I experienced that with my Galaxy Nexus. If you keep resolution stock it shouldn't display that message unless for whatever reason the app truly isn't compatible with the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinndissension:
Ive had this issie with certain apps that i KNOW are compatible with my phone. Whenever i get this error, i just use an alternate source, like blackmart, or googling the app you want to download and download it from somewhere besides google play.

Then again, since you are running a lot of custom things, you may want to try starting over from stock, not customizing anything, then try downloading those apps and seeing if your still getting that error.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basily:
Thanks, but the apps most definitely are compatible with the phone. They're Google apps on a nexus phone! And they're already installed (either stock or via the market, with no errors).

I'm aware that I can sideload the apps and have done do so successfully with a couple of them, but that really defeats the convenience of automatic updates, especially seeing as it's my wife's phone.

I will, when I have time, try factory restoring or flashing stock and going from there. The mods I'm using are fairly minor, but I suppose something, somewhere must have gotten screwed up.

Oh well, thanks for all the help anyway.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinndissension:
If your rooted, download lucky patcher, and theres an option to download a modded google play store. Have no idea if this will help with your issue, but its just an idea if wanna wanna give it a shot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
He already has the apps installed, that's not the issue, these are even stock Google apps saying they are incompatible after successfully installed. Unfortunately this is probably a wipe and reinstall situation now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
or he should watch at the build.prop or there is something edited or need to wipe data from google playstore or there is some xposed module which is causing it I don't know but if you edited a lot on that custom rom with kernel and like that backup it first don't go immediately to stock or else it was just wasted time for you. It could also be your dpi but I don't think that's it also wipe cache in recovery that might work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suraj Padmasali:
I'm sure this will work for you.

Open Settings app → Tap on Apps → Look for the Google Play Store and tap on it → Press on three-dots at the right corner and Tap on Uninstall updates → Tap on Ok to confirm

I did notice a HUGE decrease in wake-up performance while messing with the lockscreen "effects". It seems either using no effect to unlock it, or the watercooler is the fastest (which I like the best anyway).

Also, try turning off the help information and the additional information (such as the weather). The lockscreen weather will effect wake-up time due to it trying to refresh when you wake-up the phone.

It seems like there is a slight delay between button push and screen light up so pushing it the 2nd time actually turns it off. If I wait a very long second it lights up without multiple pushes.

Sunday, I ignored the one rule for flashers: always make a back up. And now I'm being royally screwed. I had tried to flash the 4/13 nightly of AICP, but it wouldn't go past the boot screen, and I had deleted all the other roms on my sdcard because I was running out of room. So, I tried going back to the previous buid I had, the 4/9, but it never went past the boot screen there either. So I set about trying to put my phone back to stock by flashing the NAE modem, Philz, and Negalite's latest rom, but for whatever reason, it was so buggy and glitchy I couldn't really use it, which I've never had happen with their work. So I downloaded omnirom, which I'm on, and it's working fine, but now I have no sound whatsoever. I also used RomToolbox Pro to flash TWRP. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Additional Information

I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.1 because 2.7.0.0+ don't work for me

Flashing the Modem was successful, not sure where it all went wrong.

I also followed Mudavo's guide for updating to NAE modem and firmware while keeping the MF9 bootloader. The only thing I didn't do is flash the MK2 rooted stock ROM before updating to the Negalite.

Any expediency in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] imactuallynot:
Phone calls are a bust, as well. Anything related to sound except haptic feedback either causes DSP Manager to FC, or the process itself FC's. I had noticed that on the Negalite as well, because whenever I hit the volume keys, everything froze, not to mention the fact it didn't register MP3s as MP3s, and also refused to play anything from play music or YouTube.

If you're truly on the MF9 bootloader then PC Odin the MF9 full .tar and reset your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frukyyy:
NAE modem with MF9 it's not an option for you at this point. Anyway I don't see the reasons to keep a different boot loader then the rom, maybe someone can explain.

Get the full NAE tar (if you have 720T you need NAF) and flash it. Note; once you are in NAE you cannot downgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xfullmetal17:
I thought that was just for the bootloader, but not the modem? (Unless Samsung's found a way to bake KNOX into the modem now)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AlkaliV2:
This is the best advice. Always revert back to the same base software as the bootloader. Rooted if you can find it, or unrooted if you just want to get it back to working status and can root it manually later. To emphasize what leaderbuilder said though:

Make sure you know you are on MF9 bootloader before trying to restore it. Otherwise it will fail.
