Is your phone still recognized by a pc?

If so, just load another ROM on your sd card.. Wipe everything and flash through recovery. You'll lose all your data, but your phone will be back.

Since you are new to this - CONGRATS! You just learned the most important rule of flashing. Always make a backup first!

Good luck man. It's an easy fix.

Unlock bootloader,install a custom recovery via adb then download a custom rom of your choice then move it to ext/internal sd.you may use otg.Then go to the custom recovery(TWRP/Cwm/philz) wipe then install zip through the location.

How to install a custom recovery via adb and what is adb?

sorry I don't know anything
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
This is why you shouldn't use all in one toolkits, you don't learn anything like that and if you're not willing to learn then you probably shouldn't mess around with these things in the first place, expect others to then fix the problems for you. I'm not trying to be mean here, just stating fact.

Download the Android SDK

After downloading, extract the .zip file. Then go into folder inside the sdk folder you'll find a folder named "platform-tools" right click that folder and copy it on your desktop(Ease of access). Inside that platform-tools folder you'll find the applications adb and fastboot.

Download HTC Sync Manager in order to install the drivers(If you haven't done so already and just to be sure).

Download custom recovery, either Philz CWM Recovery or TWRP Recovery . Place the downloaded .img recovery file inside the platform-tools folder.

Make sure your phone has USB-Debugging enabled, if you don't have developer mode on phone. Go to Settings > About > Software Information > More > Tap 7times on Build Number. This will enable developer options. Go back to Settings and scroll down to Developer Options, open it and enable USB Debugging.

Connect your phone to the PC, make sure to accept any prompts that might appear on the phone then inside the platform-tools folder, hold shift then right click, then select "Open Command prompt here". Type adb devices if adb picks up your device it'll show you your devices serial number. Next type adb reboot bootloader to boot into bootloader mode then type fastboot devices again just to make sure the device is connected and being picked up by the prompt. Type fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_you_downloaded.img MAKE SURE you type in the correct name for the recovery, exactly the same!!!

When it's done, flash ROM of your choice.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrankyPants:
I have one problem. Since I don't have the notification bar anymore, the phone doesn't notificate me. How will I get the USB notification to work?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
If there's a pop up it'll show on screen, have you tried the adb devices command to see if your phone gets picked up?

Out of curiousity though, when you used the toolkit didn't you have to enable USB Debugging anyway? I'm not familiar with the toolkit, don't use it myself...? If you already enabled it then it's fine, as long as adb devices picks up your device then you're good to go.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrankyPants:
My device is already wiped so I have no configurations anymore.

I have no softkeys and no statusbar anymore since I recovered my phone with the settings app. So no statusbar means no pop-ups.

The adb devices command sees my device in the list of devices but next to it, it says 'offline'. when normaly it has to say 'device'.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
You see it's supposed to throw a small pop up on the screen of the phone where it wants you to accept the RSA key to connect it to PC. It doesn't have anything to do with the softkeys or the notification bar on the top, it's supposed to be on the screen. I take it you probably can't even get into app drawer anymore in order to go to settings. Doesn't give any pop up on the screen... I think you really did f*** up your device :eek:

Did you use Hasoon2000's all in one toolkit? If so you probably had to have flashed a custom recovery, it's like the very next thing to do after you unlock bootloader?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jyotirdeb:
les us assume he is in stock.So he should have a stock recovery.now Boot into fastboot get the details fastboot getvar all.you will find the mid of your choice.download international fw's ruu open the zip there will be an android-info.txt file.edit the file with your mid(change 0P6B10000 to 0P6BXXXXX) where XXXXX represents your mid.then flash the ruu via recovery.Since he connects his device adb will at least detect it (i hope).

Also open toolkit on the right side it is written "next flash a recovery". Connect your phone and simply select twrp and press flash recovery.this should do it.For more details ask hasoon.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
To get getvar all you'll need fastboot commands, will fastboot commands even work if he MIGHT not have enabled USB Debugging or for that matter haven't accepted the RSA key?

That's why I asked about the recovery as well though. I saw that on hasoon's toolkit the flashing of a custom recovery was like the next step on the process which means that this guy should at least have a custom recovery already installed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrankyPants:
I don't understand anything from this. can you explain with more details and with the right punctuations?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
I don't think typing in the command getvar all like he wants you to will work if you haven't enabled USB Debugging or for that matter accepted the RSA fingerprint key from your PC.

When you used the all in one toolkit did you flash a custom recovery? I know you just clicked whatever came up as long as it had a button to click but at least try and remember if you did? Else, reboot into bootloader. Hold Volume UP + Power for 10seconds then immediatly press Volume DOWN + power button. That should take you into bootloader mode, use volume buttons to scroll down to recovery and press power button once recovery is selected. If you have a stock recovery it'll give a you screen with a small phone and inside the phone should be a triangle and an upside exclamation mark. If you have a custom recovery it'll show you a boot up screen, If I remember correctly it'll be a black screen with blue stripes on it with "TEAMWIN" written in the middle somewhere(IF it's TWRP, I don't know about Philz). If you see that then you have a custom recovery and you can then flash a ROM, any ROM just to get the device up and running again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jyotirdeb:
I don't have usb debugging but fastboot adb commands works.May be you should try this.you should go to hboot by holding vol down+power.

After going to hboot go to recovery with the volume buttons and selecting recovery.If you get teamwin or cwm or philz then install rom via recovery.If you get stock recovery hold vol up+power to switch off the phone.then again go to hboot by vol down+power and select fastboot and press power.Now connect your phone to the pc if fastboot changes to fastboot usb then you are doing correct.Then open up adb and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where recovery is (twrp/cwm of your choice) then boot to recovery from hboot then install rom of your choice.

I have the custom recovery installed but when I try to flash a rom, it says it failed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synx0:
Okay.. so maybe I'm just crazy.. but if he (you) can get into custom recovery.. twrp I assume? Easiest thing I can think of is to pull out your sd card.. stick it into your computer.. copy a new rom to it.. sitck it back into your phone, go into recovery and just flash that? If it says it failed it's possible there is something wrong with the .zip file. I only skimmed over this thread, so I apologize if this has been suggested.. but this method doesn't require adb at all.. since we don't know if it's been turned on and all...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Type the message it shows when it failed, there's so many possible reasons why it could fail a little more information can go a long way.

Exactly, failed doesn't mean a lot... Did it fail because he unzipped the file and tried to flash that way? Did it fail because of a MD5 Checksum? Did it fail because he tried to install a ROM for a different phone? "Failed" doesn't tell us s*** we need more info.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
Which recovery (version #) have you installed?

Which rom are you trying to flash?

You really need to give us way more info to help us to help you. Best would be if you take screenshots of your cmd window and post them along with very specific step-by-step info on what you did.

Your situation should be an easy fix - if you give us the needed information.....

Exactly right....

BTW, you only need USB debugging enabled to be able to connect when Android is booted. No need for USB debugging in fastboot or to use adb in recovery. IF you have the necessary drivers installed.. :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jyotirdeb:
Yup very true indeed.I just told that in the above posts.For fastboot usb debugging is not mandatory.Also you can use adb.I just restarted the phone via adb without usb debugging :p :D

If you say you have custom recovery (TWRP?), then i think you should go to recovery and just wipe system (and maybe data and caches). It seems that your systemUI.apk is somehow corrupted. (I'm not quite sure but it might do the trick)

Q : Your tool doesn't work.

A : Its already explained at the OP, pls read EVERYTHING at Page 1 !

Q : I can't get adb to work on my PC.

A : Then get one of your device forum DEV to look at this porting tool.

Q : I have a MTK model xxx SoC YYY, does your porting tool support it.

A : The title already said it, for all MediaTek Devices ONLY except latest big.LITTLE/ Cortex-A53 use PhilZ Touch

Q : I have a MTK but i'm afraid the porting tool would brick my device.

A : Then don't use it ! Its for Developers ONLY !

Q : OP said DO NOT USE IT ON LOCKED BOOTLOADER but the link doesn't say much for MTK devices.

A : There isn't any guide to identify locked bootloader on MTKs, generally you'll have to flash the recovery.img to find out whether it bricks ! However, farenheith has confirmed by flashing back the original stock 3e recovery.img & his locked bootloader MTK Motorola boots back !

As explained BRANDED at the OP, UNBRANDED MTKs are generally MTKs directly from China, have unlock bootloaders.
