You've got it backwards. You won't be able to get to recovery, or install a new custom recovery, unless you can first get to the bootloader screen (and fastboot mode).

Please refer to my advice which I already provided in Post #5284 above; and see if you can get to bootloader. You can't do anything, if you can't get to bootloader.

I know that. And it doesn't matter. If the screen doesn't come on, you can't boot to recovery. Doesn't matter if the currently installed recovery is CMW, TWRP, stock recovery or whatever. If you can't get to bootloader, you can't do

anything

. Period.

That is why I am trying to help you get to bootloader, but it seems you've ignored the advice twice now.

The version of TWRP I installed at the time of rooting is 2.0.0.0. Do I need to update TWRP or will this version allow me to swap this rom to a more modern rom. I have a SD card loaded with the correct version of Skydragon 9 waiting to go.: confused:

As mentioned, that version TWRP is ancient, and going to cause a lot of problems. Probably fail to install most current ROMs.

I'm guessing (with good reason) that you firmware is probably also really outdated, which similarly will cause a lot of issues, and not be compatible with current ROMs.

My suggestion would be to update firmware, update TWRP, and install a current ROM, and see if that resolves your data issues. Do fastboot getvar all (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can look at the device's details; if you want more definite advice on your device.

Hi I have successfully updated TWRP to 3.1.0.0 and I have attempted to do a fastboot dump but I keep getting the following result "fastboot is not recognised as an internal or external command operable program or batch file" . Is there an app that I can download from Play Store that will give me the info I need to ensure that the rom and firmware are compatible with my phone. All help greatly appreciated
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That error means you aren't executing the fastboot command from the correct directory/folder. You need to find the folder where fastboot.exe is located (assuming you're using Windows). Then with that folder open, hover the mouse cursor over that folder, press Shift+Right mouse button, and a menu will appear, select the option "Open command window here". Then execute the command: fastboot getvar all

Be sure to delete IMEI and serial number from the output, before posting it.

You can't trust the apps which get CID, MID, etc. They often provide the wrong info, and usually don't give us all the details we need to help you.

Using fastboot is a critical skill to know when modding these phones. If you don't have fastboot working, how did you install TWRP?

Hello everybody,

I'm experiencing a strange problem with my stock M8. Yesterday I leave the phone at home at %30 battery, one hour later I picked up the phone and tried to turn on the screen but it was completely shut off. --I know this is a common thing around the smartphones and I have had this issue before, but things became interesting after that part-- I plugged in the wall charger (I didn't power up the phone, just plugged the charger while it was still off) and phone started to charge showing battery indicator %1.

After 4-5 seconds battery indicator refreshed itself and that time it was showing %71.

When I power up the phone and pull of the charger, phone seems fine when I actually USE it. If it's screen stays off for a while, it just goes off again. And same procedure happens. Battery health is good according to the Ampere app. I tried wipe cache partition and factory reset but no good. Any help?

Are you sure the bootloader unlocked correctly? Post results of fastboot getvar all after removing your serial and IMEI numbers.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irisvelle:
Hey, I'm a total noob having some issues with a soft-bricked phone.

I've done a bit of poking around, and managed to get into the bootloader and recovery mode, and installed ADB on my computer. The problem I've been running into is that when I get ADB running in my command prompt, it won't detect the phone, making it impossible to do anything. Is this because I haven't (and can't) enable USB debugging? If so, how would I do that on a soft-bricked phone?

My greatest hope is to recover the data, because I was too stupid to back up all my contacts and pictures; however, I can't afford to hard-brick the phone. That said, I know it's totally possible and likely my safest option to factory-reset the phone, but I'm not excited about it because of data-loss.

Any advice is appreciated.

-Irisvelle
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Please explain what you mean by soft brick. What can you do and what cannot you do with the device? Can it start? What does fastboot devices show? Do you have a custom recovery or stock? Is the bootloader unlocked? Lots of questions need answered before anyone can help properly.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irisvelle:
It's just a boot loop - it can turn on, but won't open the OS. I have to drain the battery to access boot loader after trying to turn it on.

I'm not sure what you mean by fastboot devices - is that the first menu in bootloader?

Stock recovery, locked bootloader

Thank you,

-Irisvelle
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
What you need to do is boot to the fastboot screen, hold power and volume down for a few seconds until the screen goes blank/black. Release the power button but hold vol down. You should now be on the fastboot screen. Connect to your PC and open a command prompt. Type the command "fastboot devices" without the quotes and you should see your device serial number onscreen. You then need to follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader in this thread. If it doesn't work because you do not have developer options enabled, come back here and we'll try another way, hopefully. Read the thread carefully. There's no need to worry about S-OFF at this stage.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irisvelle:
I managed to unlock the bootloader - when it restarted, it went through an android update (I'm not sure whether or not it finished), then rebooted again. Now it's stuck in the boot loop again. I also wasn't able to enable usb debugging.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:

The boot loader is locked and standard recovery thanks in advance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You need to unlock the bootloader first, however, doing that will wipe the phone. Backup anything and everything you want to keep. IT WILL WIPE THE ENTIRE DEVICE. After doing that, post the results of fastboot getvar all so we can determine what actual device you have. Remove your serial and IMEI numbers before posting the results. There may be a simple RUU available for you or you can use a stock Nandroid backup to get where you want to go.

---------- Post added at 13:05 ---------- Previous post was at 13:02 ----------

Yes, it's in the OS, you have to force the developer options to show by tapping the build number in settings 7 times. Then you can activate the USB debugging. There's no real reason for your device not starting, especially after an update. Keep trying to start it up. With unlocking your bootloader, you have wiped the devices internal storage. You can factory reset from the bootloader screen. That may stop the bootloop.

One quick question can I just flash a stock nandroid to it now without unlocking the boot loader etc. I'm happy with a stock Euro marshmallow as I thought you could do this with s off and super cid thanks in advance. If so where can I download a stock nanroid marshmallow I have one but do not know if I can trust
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jconradb:
Please note the M8 was shipped to me with S OFF and super CID. That is why I thought it was a developer model. To add the phone is under warrenty for 6 months so I really do not want to unlock the boot loader. So hence can I just flash marshmallow using recovery mode. The m8 I have is a replacement as the first one they sent me had the same issues and when doing a marshmallow OTA the phone would go into recovery mode. I do not want to send this M8 back just sort it myself. Sorry for all the blah so what is it flash or boot loader thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irisvelle:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Post the results of fastboot getvar all, minus your serial and IMEI numbers. We need to determine what the device actually IS. A lot of refurbished devices are Sprint which cannot just use any ROM. Sprint devices can only use ROMs and RUUs meant for Sprint, no other model, even is they are S-OFF.

You need to uninstall HTC Sync Manager when installing RUU, leave the drivers only.

Also you need to LOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader to install RUU. Won't work on UNLOCKED bootloader as your device is S-On

You should run 4.28.502.2 or higher version RUU.

If you want to install Marshmallow 6.20.502.5 RUU directly, you need to install 6.20.502.5 firmware.zip first.

I suggest 4.28.502.2 RUU then do OTA as it should be easier for you.
