[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.estiack:
it still shows charging sign..and when i press power plus vol up it vibrates..pc starts detecting but then shows driver not installed and device unplugged.

i installed htc sync and then when i connected the m8 it once showed qualcom qhs usb port something. Now if i want to fix it as a last try should i replace the emmc or have to replace the whole motheboard? if so then does global or any other carriers emmc or motherboard can be installed in sprint m8?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You mean the charging graphic is showing? That will show even when the phone is powered off. However, as already mentioned, nothing (adb, fastboot) will connect to the phone by PC with the phone powered off. Re-installing HTC drivers won't help in this case. On that same note, the Qualcomm message is what appears when the phone is powered off, and will also show up if the phone is bricked. So the appearance of that message is not an indicator either way.

I don't think you can replace the emmc without replacing the whole motherboard. Or if there is even a point in doing so. Just because I mentioned it may be emmc failure, doesn't mean that is a sure thing. It may be something else.

I don't now if you can replace with a "international" version M8 board. I've seen the question asked before, but haven't seen an answer on that either way. I'd say it is risky and questionable.

oh..then i thing i need to buy a new one..infact it was my 3rd m8..i m really satisfied with this set and everytime get back to it even thiugh its too old..anyway thanx for your help and time.though i m suprised why there is no way to push bootloader! in my zenfone 2 had lost bootloader nd everything.but was able to push bootloader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I would still keep trying to get to bootloader. If it's still showing the charging graphic on the screen, that gives me a bit of hope that the phone can still be recovered.

I don't think I've seen an M8 truly bricked, but showing the charging graphic.

But you really need to get to bootloader to do anything.

Every phone is different. Some are harder to brick than others. And some have working unbrick tools/methods, while the M8 does not.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.estiack:
it still goes to bootloader for a certain period i think. as while phone is connected with pc i press power plus vol up it vibrates and pc shows driver installing..but then phone gets switched off again and pc shows device unplugged..i think the mistake i made was not trying to flash via fastboot instead from sd card.

Hello I was wondering if anyone can link me to a download of a sprint radio so I can flash it in recovery. Thanks in advanced
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
I think there should be. Do you know your firmware number? You can get it by entering fastboot on your phone (power + vol down when your phone is off), and it will be listed under "OS". If that is blank, it because your recovery is outdated, so update to twrp 2.8.0.3 (2.8.1.0 is gltchy).

OR you can plug your phone into your PC and start ADB and issue the command fastboot getvar all. This will give you all the info you will need about your device. Where it says "version-main" is your firmware version.

Then scroll to stock recoveries on that link, and try to find a matching one.

ALSO, when you reply, please use the reply button. That way I get a notification and will respond. Always use it if you expect a response from someone here. I just stumbled onto your reply by accident.

For GPe, I don't know. I thought that TWRP supported it, but I can't find it. Not supported I guess. Maybe search for another custom recovery. The truth is, I've never had a GPe device. I thought that this would all be more similar than it seems to be for me now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djr83:
I'm pretty sure I had TWRP before. Now when I think about it, I probably installed it through HTC One toolkit or whatever the program is called.

Rooting Help

OK so to start i will say I'm very new to this.

Right i bought a HTC ONE M8 on 02 in the UK.

I saw about an update coming to the google edition but i had the sense edition.

So i though ill have a dabble at changing it to google edition. Wish id left the phone alone now.

I used sakitech online and his very in depth guide.

I unlocked the boot loader and installed twrp which are currently running. i also had the super user app and super user access.

It was at this point the tutorial switched out from mac which i was using to windows for s-off (doh). so in my frustration i thought id try to undo what i had done and now i have no OS and the recovery twrp says the phone is not rooted. i have try several different methods to resolve my mistakes like side loading and mounting to usb but the phone never loads anything due to md5 errors.

Im really annoyed with myself that i tried to do something that is clearly now out of my league.

Any help you can offer me would be very grateful.

Remember I'm new to this so you need to be detailed.

Thank you everybody
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You're probably talking about Carrier IQ. Its been a controversial piece of software, primarily used by carriers to gather network performance installation. The problem has been, that it has been routinely included on many devices (by various manufacturers, not just HTC), without the users knowledge, and with no "opt out" feature. Its also been demonstrated to log keystrokes and even log SMS messages (although I don't know if the current version still does those things).

Not sure if all versions of the M8 have Carrier IQ installed, but at least some do. There are a few apps on the Play Store that will scan your phone for Carrier IQ's presence (no root required). But removal requires root. Also, most custom ROMs will have it removed already.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmniSlyfer:
Thank you for the quick answer. I don't know know if it was this CarrierQI the problem, i've also read things about HTC loggers etc (in SD ROM for example), however i'm glad to know that i have no CarrierQI installed in my m8.

However HTC has installed a lot of bloatware on our M8 uh? After switching to ART, my m8 started to optimize 255 aps, whit only 10 apps installed by myself :/
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm not all that familiar with what the HTC logger does. But remember that during the setup wizard, it gives you the choice to opt out of supplying HTC with anonymous info to help improve their products (or some similar language). If this constitutes all that the HTC logger does, than its not spyware. Spyware, by most the definitions I've read, is something that the user is not notified of, and is not given an opt-out.

On the other hand, it

is

data mining. Such data is often captured anonymously; and when done in that way, to me its not of much concern. (although it would be difficult to confirm this is actually the case or not). And such data is captured by a great many companies. Remember that using Android and Google apps themselves makes you a subject of data mining.

Remember that a great many apps are needed to make the phone work, or core Google apps: phone, contacts, settings, camera, lockscreen, messages, calendar, launcher, Play Store, Google search, Maps, Gallery, and many more. Also, some apps serve a specific purpose that you never even think about. For instance, every language that your phone supports has its own apk.

Yes, there is a lot of bloat aside from what I mentioned. But its not anywhere near the 255 you are seeing.

Hello all,

I want to convert my M8 to GPE RUU.

I read that if you want to revert to Sense later you will have to go through a process described in the forums here.

My question: Is it not enough to restore a Nandroid backup? As far as I know this option restores the whole system, including bootloader and such.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
S Off and super CID?

Download this.

Using a file explorer, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero not the letter).

Place that onto the root of your extSD (by root, I mean just put in on the card, not in a folder).

Turn your phone off, then reboot into fastboot by holding the power button + vol down.

Highlight hboot using your vol buttons to navigate the menu (it'll be on top) and press power to select it.

Let your phone do its thing.

Navigate back to fastboot, then to reboot.

Congratulations, you now have 4.4.4 firmware.

Delete the file from your extSD, or else every time you boot into hboot, your phone will try to update again.

Enjoy. :D

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Believe it is one of the (many) GSM M8 variants. As already mentioned, I have no idea if a GSM mobo is interchangeable with a Sprint mobo; but my guess would be NO.

Also, unless you are really confidant about doing such a repair, I'd advise not doing it yourself. A lot can go wrong, such as damaging other components when trying to replaced the mobo. Seen a lot of posts on here about such things happening (damaging the phone components while disassembling or re-assembling it).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.estiack:
I will do that at shop. Not myself. But what i found that motherboard also has same problem,the black bootloader. Doesnt go in bootloader mode. I think its in refurbished sets they changes motherboard components and install a specifically developed kitkat rom,so that everything works fine bt you cant update.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Radio files (by themselves) aren't posted for the M8 device that often (and rarely, if ever in recovery flashable format - usually radios are flashed with fastboot and you need s-off). Although you can flash the firmware (which contains radio) and it's probably better to update the whole firmware package, anyway.

Be aware that Sprint radio and/or firmware is not compatible with any other M8 version (so again, it depends on what you are trying to do).

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

Are you referring to T-Mobile WiFi calling in particular? Did you flash a custom ROM that caused the feature to be lost? T-Mob WiFi calling is supported by a few custom ROMs (and not that consistently). Or else the stock T-Mob ROM (Marshmallow would be the latest).

That is an RUU. I'm surprised to see a touch screen issue after RUU (where there wasn't one before). You sure this wasn't a problem when you were on the custom ROM?

You might see in Settings if the OTA up to Marshmallow will come through (the RUU put the phone on Lollipop only), and if so, if that helps the issue at all.

Otherwise, unlock the bootloader again, flash the previous custom ROM (or try other ROMs) and see if that helps the issue.

Those aren't necessarily specific solutions to your touch screen issue. But somewhat basic/typical troubleshooting tactics. Your problem is not a known issue I've seen before. So hopefully, something there helps.

Misbehavin' M8

Hello folks,

New to the forum. I love my HTC M8. Unfortunately I have some issues with my current device. I'm sorry if this is a long post and answered elsewhere, but my brain is going fuzzy with all the possible options for recovery!

I had to buy a spare M8 about a year ago as my original (from O2) had to go back to HTC for the "wobbly" camera focus issue. The spare has been great up until about 3 months ago. It threw a wobbly and went into continual "updating apps 1 of 162 etc" I left it for 24 hours but it kept going through the same cycle and rebooted, started again. I decided a factory reset was reqd, and this worked. The problem happened again about a week ago, factory reset, minimal apps reinstalled, then happened again.

However it now won't go beyoond bootloader or recovery mode:

I can get it into recovery mode from bootloader (vol down/power) - at the top of the recovery screen in yellow writing it states:

6.0/MRA58K/buildteam12021523

and gives the options in blue.

Ive tried factory reset several times which it says it has done, then reboot and it now gets stuck on a white screen with the following:

*** Software status Modified ***

*** LOCKED *** (purple background)

M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you wipe system before trying to root? Folks seem to have a tendency to wipe system on accident a lot.

Also, you should

always

make a TWRP backup before doing any mods such as root, custom ROM, etc.. Not only would it have given you an easy solution to "no OS"; but also gives you an unrooted stock ROM, if you ever have the desire or need to never to that.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

I don't think your version has RUU (it would need to be RUU 6.12.61.4) and therefore it would be pretty complicated to restore OS on an unmodified phone (bootloader locked, etc.). You would need to unlock the bootloader, load custom recovery TWRP, and flash a stock TWRP backup. If you are willing to do that, I can link you to the appropriate resources. But I can't think of any other way to recover from this condition.

Also, radio number is completely generic to every phone with your OS number 6.12.61.4. It doesn't need to be hidden (although doesn't really need to be given to us in this case, either). The details of your phone which should be kept private are IMEI and serial numbes (and MEID, if you phone has it) and these numbers are not listed on the bootloader screen which you referenced.
