Soft bricked phone

Currently, my phone is bricked. stuck on white htc screen.

I updated to 5.0.1 dev edition using this method

http://xdaforums.com/htc-...loper-t3002003

worked fine. problem is afterwards, I flashed twrp and tried flashing super su.

afterwards it would not boot. stuck at white htc screen.

I then flashed stock recovery with the intent to run ruu again.

I thought however that maybe a factory reset would solve the problem.

That made matters worse tho as now I don't have adb connection.

I have tried using power +vol up. that works to restart. pressing vol down soon afterwards reboots to bootloader.

I put a bs_002 0p6img.zip on sd card but it didn't work. got errors that files were missing

90P6BIAG.zip NO IMAGE

0P6BIMG.nbh NO IMAGE

not sure why, mismatch maybe

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Hi folks, I used this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2718150

to sim unlock my Sprint HTC One M8, now I'm interested in updating to Android Lollipop.

I've got the OTA update on my phone but it won't install because i have a custom recovery (TWRP as the guide instructed), if I revert to stock recovery can I install the OTA? If not is there a stock Lollipop rom that I can use? Can I use the Developer Edition ROM?

and most importantly will either option affect the sim unlock?

hope i was clear enough :confused:

Can someone help me with a problem.

Hi, I'm having a problem updating my HTC One M8. The phone is rooted, s-off, unlocked and has the Developer Edition Rom installed. It use to be an att if that helps. Before i tried updating, I flashed the Developer Edition Stock Recovery file. What happens is I try to update and it downloads the update file but when it restarts and trys to install it, I get a red triangle with an exclamation point (!) in it. I then hold the power and volume and boot it up and the update doesn't install. What could be the problem? I have also tried using the Att Stock Recovery file with no luck.

Hey guys!

A few searches (not just here, but around the internet) have led me to believe i am geniunely screwed.

I have an HTC One M8, OTA updated to 4.4.4 Kitkat, SIM Free, bootloader unlocked (TWRP) and rooted.

I've been meaning to update to 5.01 (Android L), and found a bit of a problem with compatibility:

I couldn't find the stock recovery for my CID version, which is HTC__332 (latin america, if i'm not mistaken), and i wasn't wise enough to do a backup of it back then, thinking i wouldn't encounter this problem were I to update.

This is the getvar all, just in case:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.22.21331147A1

(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) version-microp: None

(bootloader) version-main:

(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON

(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000

(bootloader) product: m8_ul

(bootloader) platform: hTCBmsm8974

(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B16000

(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__332

(bootloader) battery-status: good

(bootloader) battery-voltage: 0mV

(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic

(bootloader) security: on

(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT

(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: 38692870

(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11

(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

Trying S-OFF with Firewater didn't work, and Sunshine says my device is not compatible, so going SuperCID is out of the question.

What other alternatives for flashing an original 5.0.1 (sense 6.0, unmodified) do i have? I kept looking and the only things i found mentioned going back to a stock recovery (for which i'm screwed, since i couldn't find my CID version, and once again, going SuperCID is impossible ATM), using an OTA update. Can I simply flash the original ROM from the HTC site?

Any light shed on this matter will be more than welcome.

Yes. But unless you are S-Off, you will have to re-lock your bootloader. Also, you need an unmodified system partition. If you are using Xposed, your /system is modified. You will need to uninstall all of the modules using Xposed to do so, then uninstall that as well.

T-Mob should be rolling out Androi 4.4.4 soon, so no need to wait for "L" to get a firmware update. Again, not sure if you're talking about T-Mob US (I'm guessing yes, since I think the T-Mob M8's in Europe are already getting OTA) it might be very soon, as Android 4.4.4 (software 3.28) has started rolling out to US unlocked and Dev Edition versions yesterday. Carrier versions hopefully won't be far behind.

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 AM ----------

I believe you can only do that if it is a GSM Model. Not sure about those that you buy from a carrier
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No, its me that missed something. I missed where you said "flash the newest ARHD that compliments it" ("it" being Android Lollopop) and thought you were just trying to update firmware so you can install the newest (current 4.4.4) ARHD.

Yes the Lollipop OTA wil almost certainly have different firmware. But on the other hand, OTAs need to be installed sequentially (you can't skip one) so you will need to install 4.4.4 OTA first anyway, before you can install the Lollipop (5.0) OTA.

Although I suppose whether you do that (update to 4.4.4 firmware) later or now is up to you. Do it now, and you can take advantage of the current 4.4.4 Sense ROMs.

I think you mean "unbranded" and not GSM, as most carrier versions are also GSM (only Verizon and Sprint versions are CDMA).

Branded versions can be converted to GPE (although like you, not sure about CDMA versions).

OK just ordered a refurbed M8, I want to pretty much do the whole shebang, (unlock bootloader, root, s-off, superCID, etc)

Which one should I start with from a fresh phone?

Edit: My last HTC phone was the OG EVO and before that an HTC Hero. Since then I've had Nexus devices which obviously are just fastboot oem unlock and done lol
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I suppose that depends. Some folks like to s-off first, then you don't have to go through HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader (which means HTC has a record of you doing so). And for Verizon, I think they still block bootloader unlock, so s-off first is mandatory. But based on your list of previous phones, I'm gussing Vzn is not your provider.

On the other hand, some folks just unlock the bootloader and never s-off. S-off is only needed for some things (flash hboot, radio, SIM unlock) and not needed for root or flashing ROMs.

SuperCID might not be needed for a lot of things either, especially if S-off (I

think

s-off bypasses CID check, but some folks have suggested otherwise).

So I suppose it depends on what you are going to do with the phone, as well as personal preferences.

For me, it was: unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, flash a ROM to get root (can also flash SU/SuperSU if you want root and stay on the stock ROM), then s-off.

Stock UK Vodafone Unrooted to 3.28.401.6

My M8 is currently Stock Vodafone rom and to be honest I am happy with it being un-rooted stock.

Thanks a lot for the response!!

I haven't tried the MaximusHD ROM as of yet, since i think i found the stock recovery for my CID (at least i replaced it and had no issues booting up, though it didn't download the OTA update).

After flashing the stock recovery and booting up (no problems so far), the OTA failed to find any update. Trying the manual update (using the downloaded ROM from HTC) led me to a black screen with the HTC logo in it, and the computer saying that the update wasn't compatible. Do i need to unroot my phone? I currently have Xposed and several other root apps (i.e Lucky Patcher, Adblock and the like).

For the moment, i'll keep trying to exhaust my options with the stock ROM, but will resort to MaximusHD if needed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Okay. First of all you need to reply using the reply button if you want a response from the person helping you. That way they get a notification.

You need to get rid of Xposed because it modifies your system partition, and you won't get OTAs with /system modified. You also not only need to have a stock recovery, but the stock ROM as well.

What you need to do is be on the stock ROM for the OTAs, then uninstall all of the Xposed modules you have by using Xposed itself, and uninstall that as well.

I'm not sure about the RUU being incompatible because I don't know your model or carrier, and also don't know which RUU you are trying to flash.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
I don't know about your headphones, but if your bootloader is re-locked, you'll have to use the HTCDev unlock again. Then install a custom recovery, then super user. That is the normal steps.

Wait a sec. You said you were unrooted. I gave you the steps. Unlock bootloader (you already have it) then flash a custom recovery (I recommend TWRP) then flash superuser. Thanks anyways? That's how you root dude.

Also, you could get the custom recovery and flash a rooted ROM such as ViperOneM8. It has super user baked into the ROM so you don't have to flash it first.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, but I actually take that back, now that I think about it.

You should flash the stock nandroid that corresponds with your current firmware (hboot, radio, etc.). Then, if there are any more recent OTAs, they should kick in once you have stock ROM and stock recovery installed (and OTA will update the firmware incrementally).

Sounds like you already know your firmware is 2.x, so restore the 2.x nandroid for your CID.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
No, then it's like putting a custom ROM on your phone and you won't get OTA's.

If your phone is 2.22.127.x(your example) then you MUST restore a x.xx.127.x nandroid.

The only time it'll work the way you're thinking, is with stock recoveries. You can use a 2.22.401 with a 2.22.127 because the base would be the same i.e 2.22, but it won't work with nandroid backup's.
