I keep trying to flash the most recent build, 2.8.4.0, but it keeps soft bricking my phone... Tried through the app, it always gave me an error when I tried, rebooted into recovery and it would hang... No big deal, just do a hard reboot and boot back into system, but I even tried manually flashing through fastboot with the same issue... Anyone have an idea? I've gone back a few updates as well and it did the same thing.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MacFett:
Do you have the most up to date firmware? Hboot 3.18 or 3.19 is required for the new recovery.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] HarmfulMushroom:
Well crap, completely forgot to check that... Thanks man, that would be my issue then.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jkolner:
Uhu... i did a stupid thing i guess...

In TWRP 2.8.4.0 -> Wipe -> Adwanced i formated "Internal Storage" and booted. Im on ARHD 34, but now my Internal storage is emty but i can't copy the backup'ed files back to the Internal Storage.

When i plug the phone to my PC i can't access the internal or external SD Card?

Do i need to format anything or what?

Any ide to what i can do?

--- EDIT ---

I can now see my Internal storage when i plug the phone to my PC and copy files to it, but when open a file browser (Solid Explorer and ES File explorer) the Internal storage is emty!

--- EDIT---

Found the answer in post #888.

Is there a way to get the latest TWRP 2.8.4.0 working on a 4.4.4 GPE device? The latest working TWRP version is 2.8.1.0. I've read something about that it's not working because of the hboot version, but can I upgrade it? Is it save to?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] amirsardari:
if you are with me my answer is yes

but problem appeared before that .

after i flashed eragon rom and then restored my stock rom backup setting app gone missing and i had to dirty flash rooted stock again

after that everytime that i get backup from my healthy rom and restore it , phone setting app go missing ( app not installed )

I have the same problem with ARHD and same mode as you are using.

Captain_Throwback:

This is probably a stupid question for you but.....you didn't happen to find a solution to unbrick your M8 did you? I was flashing TWRP yesterday using the "In-Phone Download - ADB / Terminal method" and I goofed on the command "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43" (because I was using a very small bluetooth portable keyboard) and wrote another number that was not 43, sent the command, got a response that the data was sent, then realized I goofed and re-wrote the command again correctly and resent it, then rebooted, and POOF......so now all I have is a black screen, no charging LED, and QSB_BULK in Windows Device Manager.

I think I am dead in the water but I was just curious....
[One (M8) Original Android Development] golf12:
No did not brick the phone never had issues with recovery before
[One (M8) Original Android Development] amirsardari:
thanks . i flashed latest philz now and took a backup but near the end of backup phone automatically rebooted . is it normal ?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] golf12:
Unless you reboot after backup it doesn't reboot automatically try it again to see if the problem is the same
[One (M8) Original Android Development] amirsardari:
i turned off my device and tried again and this time it was normal and it took a healthy complete backup . thanks
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MacFett:
I would look at an ruu to run, that should reset the device to factory state or close to it. Once that you can reinstall the recovery.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
Can you get into bootloader mode using the button combination. If so you can clear out any partition that you overwrote by using the dev/zero command and flash a ruu manually

[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Can anyone tell me what this means please
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You're using a theme that's too new for the recovery you're on.

Any reason you're not updated to 2.8.5.0?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Lol I thought it was your latest one I got it from your site sorry does that mean that what I flashed was successful please.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
:confused:

Don't know what you're asking there, but I couldn't tell you if what you flashed was successful without the end of the console output.

The error is just related to the theme; it won't affect flashing.

But, if i flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img PDT that's run.

I need obsolutly openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-m8.img PST to flash MaximusHD ROM correctly.

Any idea to solve my problem?

Thank you in advance
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Update your firmware.

Also, 2.8.5.0 is the latest version.

Thank you very much!!

is it possible that twrp make backup directly to the external sd card?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] paulh1978:
Yes it is once you pick backup look near top of screen it'll say internal if you press on that it'll give you choice of internal, ext sd then just change it to sd from there
[One (M8) Original Android Development] erwinpiero:
Thanks a lot for recent updates, TWRP the best so far
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PieceKeepr:
May be a dumb question, but if I set TWRP to not create an MD5 during a backup will it cause any problems? It seems like backup time will be significantly reduced if I skip this step but I don't want to cause myself any problems either.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Forsaked:
The MD5 is just a checksum which get generated (which takes time) after the backup process finished.

It get's generated to check the integrity of the files before you restore them.

When you skip the MD5 generation, it can't be checked and it could be possible that you restore a damaged backup.

You can find more information about MD5 here!

Hey,

is there any mirror link for the latest version for htc one m8?

also for the instructions on flashing the recovery through adb\fastboot

the main site is down (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2) =\

Thanks
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Forsaked:
You can always get the latest TWRP for the M8 here.

A guide to flash everyting can be found under following link.

Seems that the TWRP download page has DNS problems, you should check it later or use this TWRP version of Captain_Throwback!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] adiel91:
The first link is also down i'm afraid

What's the difference between captain's version to the official one?

Thanks
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Forsaked:
Captain alway integrate the latest changes from github into his recovery, while the offical TWRP makes larger jumps and releases less offen.

So if there is a general problem in the latest TWRP release and they fix it on github, Captain delivers faster a fixed recovery then the offical TWRP release it.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] PieceKeepr:
I understand what the MD5 is but thanks for the full explanation anyway. I never used the verify MD5 function because I just assumed I would have to know what the number is, which I've never looked for. So does TWRP automatically verify the MD5 of a backup file? If it does I'll have to start using it.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
It does, if you generate one when you backup and enable verification when you restore ;).
[One (M8) Original Android Development] reaper420:
So you can flash the zip file from the recovery?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
The image file can be flashed from recovery, if you already have version 2.8.4.0. No need for a zip at all.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Waanzin:
I wanted to update my TWRP to the latest with the manager. It said it was unsuccessful and asked me if I wanted to reboot into the recovery.

Is there another way I can flash it? Can I flash the file from the recovery itself?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Forsaked:
How about the standard way over fastboot?

If you don't know how to, use this guide! ;)

[One (M8) Original Android Development] jkolner:
Nope, works fine for me with 2.8.5.0.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] vince47:
I need some help. I installed 2.8.5.0 coming from 2.8.3.0. It was the one included with the firmware update here. All went well when I booted back into Nusense 5.01. I decided to try a new ROM. (Fluentrom 6.0). I went into recovery to perform a backup. I still had three older backups in my TWRP folder. I did the backup, everything went fine. I booted back into the system and copied Fluentrom zip to the root of my sdcard. I booted back into recovery, wiped data,factory reset, wiped system (getting ready to install the new ROM). It wasn't on the sdcard where I copied it to! Everything else was still there. I looked around, it was still in my download folder. I went to restore my recent nandroid. It was also gone. The older backups were still there but not the recent from 2.8.5.0. It appears the backups performed using TWRP 2.8.5.0 are not sticking to the external sdcard?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Try one of my 2.8.5.x versions from here: https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M8)/ALL/Recovery
[One (M8) Original Android Development] vince47:
Thanks for your help Capt. I fastboot flashed your 2.8.5.2 recovery, but had the same result. I performed a backup in recovery. Booted back into system (the backup is gone) booted back into recovery, no sign of the backup. I'm wondering about formatting the external sdcard. should I do it in recovery? In recovery, if I use format data in the "wipe menu" will it format the external sdcard as well as internal? or should I just try to wipe the external sdcard? I tried to format the external sdcard within in the system, but everything is still there. It seems to have write protection on.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] vince47:
I figured it out. My 64gb SanDisk Ultra Plus sdcard became corrupted after the firmware/recovery update. I popped in an old 32gb I had and everything works now as expected. At least I can still read from the bad sdcard, just can't write or delete anything from it.

Where can I find a F2FS formatting TWRP 2.8.5.X version? I've tried 2.8.5.0 and Captn's 2.8.5.2 to no avail.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
F2FS isn't supported on M8.

I had it in there briefly in an earlier version, but no ROM kernels can support it because of the proprietary restrictions on exFAT (taints kernel). So, I removed it because it essentially can't be used on this device.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] tibere86:
Ah. Thanks for the info.

Hi, can anyone help me please?

Today I wanted to flash new viper one rom. At updated the firmware and now twrp is lost. I try to install it again from adb but when I now boot to recovery i only have a small "android system recovery". Don't know what to do now :(

Rene
[One (M8) Original Android Development] old.splatterhand:
As i told you somewhere else, the firmware.zip contains stock recovery.

You need fastboot to flash recovery, not adb.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Hi,

I have the GPE Edition with Kitkat 4.4.4 / Stock recovery, im trying to install any of these:-

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8

And when i flash it wont load recovery and sits there on the Google startup screen.

If i go into fastboot and type

fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img

For example, it reboots, reboots again then boots into Android.

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Use the newest recovery, not a 2.7.x.x.

Make sure, bootloader is unlocked.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Depending in your firmware, the latest version may not work for you. However, you should be able to use 2.8.1.0 without issues. Try that one and report back.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Hi Bootloader is unlocked - however i tried to install 2.8.1.0 and got the same issue.

Strangely i was able to flash Clockworkmod 6.0.4.8, but i'd prefer TWRP - anything else i can try?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I have no idea why it wouldn't be working for you. I have no other suggestions, sorry.

EDIT: Wait, I just noticed you're trying to fastboot boot it. Just flash it and it'll work fine.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Well, there you go - works fine. Thanks very much. :good: I figured if it didnt work using fastboot boot it wouldnt work using fasboot flash either, ah well... :(

I did do this for the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-m8 recovery - but it wouldnt boot into recovery. I assume this is because thats for a different FW version?

Eitherway - thanks for your time, very much appreciated. :highfive:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Correct. Once/if you update to Lollipop firmware, you can use versions newer than 2.8.1.0.

Ext4 Partition

Ok, having some issues when trying to partition my SD card using TWRP...

Get an error - E: Unable to locate device to partition

Running a 128GB ( :D ) card formatted as exFAT and was trying to create a 16GB ext4 partition (TWRP entries: EXT Size 16384, Swap size 0)

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Are you trying to do that for MultiROM? If so, have you tried doing it in the MultiROM TWRP?

Also, a full log would be more helpful. Either attached or enclosed in hide and code tags.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] colthekid:
Doh!

Forgot I'd installed a normal TWRP while I was messing about with themes!

Put a MultiROM TWRP back on, still had a similar error, but it appears to have worked!

Thanks again
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I asked for the log so I could look into the error and try to get it fixed. Without that, I can't fix it (even if it worked). I just want to confirm whether it is or is not an issue. Can you please provide a log?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] colthekid:
I'll try & get a log, but I've already flashed the multirom trwp & installed a secondary rom via multirom (won't boot though, hangs on splash) . Where would a log be stored?

If i can get one, do you want it posted here or in the multirom thread?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
It's probably too late now. Forget it.

time zones

I'm in Eastern Standard Time. Normally -5 GMT, it is -4 during DST. Checking the DST box doesn't do anything right now. So TWRP 2.8.5.0 doesn't seem to be respecting daylight savings time... OR the dates it is programmed to respect DST are incorrect.

Anyone else?

[One (M8) Original Android Development] jmz:
Its because those weren't shipped with MTP. So recoveries are still using older kernel without mtp only. Newer devices are MTP only and until that is emulated in recovery you will never be able to mount it to copy from pc

Ok, thanks for making this clear.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
If your backups are compressed, that's the reason why you aren't able to restore them. It's a known issue that I'm sure has been mentioned 1,000 times in this thread.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] JohnM109R:
No there not compressed I made sure it was not ticked...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I'm not sure what you're doing wrong then because my (uncompressed) backups restore perfectly fine for both AOSP and Sense ROMs.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] JohnM109R:
I'm not sure either trying to figure it out it could be my ext sd card
[One (M8) Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Perhaps try reflashing recovery and backup/restore.

Just flashed TWRP 2.7.0.2 using Flashify on a VZW M8 that I picked up yesterday -- everything went smoothly. However I tried to do a backup of the stock rom before I install anything else.

When I go to the backup screen, it shows "System" as being 0MB, and when I try to backup, I get Backup Complete -- Failed. Unable to mount '/system'

Any ideas? I'm a bit paranoid to flash a new ROM without a backup of the old one...

When I reboot from TWRP, it warns that there's no OS, however the phone does still boot...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jody04c:
I feel that there is some issue effecting some devices. Can those with issues confirm s-off or not so we can begin to eliminate possible issues causing this. Also confirm if using Int/Ext SD for backups/restores?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] GSLEON3:
It's been a while, but I seem to remember other devices hanging on the "reboot to system" option. Something was changed to fix the issue, I just don't remember what it was.

As for backups, be sure you have disabled compression. Backups seem to fail with compression enabled.
