Are you using TWRP ? Copy your internal storage data/files to PC (Mount -> enable MTP for that)

In TWRP go to Wipe -> Format data -> type yes to format

Select reboot -> recovery

Copy back your data/files to internal storage (Mount -> enable MTP for this)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lastczarnian:
well done you, thanks very much - now i have working phone again.

but when i tried to update again it still stayed on the white HTC One screen for an hour - that can't be normal, is it?

k, somewhere on my travels I seem to have downloaded a new firmware that corresponds with the update number - think this is significant?

gonna wait till friday but will back up what I have then try flashing the firmware - should i update first then flash the firmware before booting, or flash the firmware then attempt the OTA? Im leaning towards getting the upgrade installed then the firmware before the endless boot...? Advice?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
No.. that's not the correct way to do OTA update.

Your problem is your backup/running stock ROM is not a non-rooted stock ROM but maybe a unrooted a previously rooted stock ROM. non-rooted & unrooted a rooted ROM are two different thing.

Restore a non-rooted backup ROM then install its matching recovery, the update should run fine.

Is your CID/MID - 4.19.61.2/0P6B10000 ? You can get the non-rooted TWRP backup in my thread : http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzeem2010:
Thank you.. I was afraid of that... the whole not needing to relock bootloader before RUU if S-Off.. and subsequent relock/dataloss.

I posted from my phone this AM and wanted to keep it short..

If you want to know the rest of the story..

I WAS previously rooted, bootloader unlocked, s-off, and did most of that by hand (except for sunshine).. used tibu to back up a good number of my apps, made nandroids prior to each big mod that I had made.. and a few other tweaks. I had put off the stagefright OTA since I had custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.6, I think) installed at the time, but the damned OTA decided to initiate itself, and it caught me by surprise. Phone proceeded to boot into TWRP, and I was able to reboot back to the phone, and managed to stall the update long enough to flash back to stock recovery (which I learned how to extract from reading here). Then, I allowed the OTA to update, and it soft-bricked.

By the time I figured out what had happened (this update required a completely stock OS, not just rooted with stock recovery like with previous updates) and had finally resorted to RUU, phone had been down for a day. I'd been researching and working with adb, fastboot, shell, su, root, /mount storage, etc., commands for 5 hours, trying to undo my only mod (sd-fix) ... in the end, I must have missed the "If you are S-OFF you don't need to fastboot oem lock to RUU" memo, but... had a hunch that , after I did it, that I didn't need to...

Drat.

I'll try what you laid out below..

Issues with Google Play Services or GApps on CM 12.1

Hello!

Just installed the latest CM 12.1 Snapshot yesterday, and immediately found out that the GApps wasn't working. I've tried several different packages and while they'll install the GApps won't work at all on startup.

I've read somewhere that they solved the issue by wiping the GApps services, which I'm guessing is the Google Play Services. I've reinstalled the app and deleted the cache + data, if that's what they meant by wiping the app, but I've either messed it up or this isn't working.

Can someone give me an explanation on how to wipe GApps Services?

Downgrading CM to 12 or any other version or wiping the phone is last resort, and I'd love to not having to do that if possible.

Any answers greatly appreciated!

HTC M8 broken due to low battery and OTA

Help! My HTC One M8 started updating while I was asleep and it didn't have enough battery life so it shut off while it was updating. Now my phone does not work.

I am having some Radio troubles on my phone and could really use some help.

I have searched and searched this forum but I have not yet been able to find a solution to my problem.

This last Christmas, almost a year ago now wow..., I had a family member give me an HTC One M8 phone. It was the Verizon "version" of the phone. However he had unlocked the phone and updated it in lots of ways. When I got it it was running the GPE 5.0.1 rom. It also had the radio altered to run on the T-Mobile network although I specifically use it with the Walmart Family mobile plan which is powered by t-mobile.

I was wildly impressed by the phone. Super display, snappy response, etc... But then within about 24 hours of switching over to it I found that the signal strength triangle in the upper right corner was showing no strength and had an ! in it. When I went into it to get more details I found that it was in an error state. I could find no more information than that. I tried to put it into airplane mode and bring it back out and that didn't help it just seemed to fix nothing. So I rebooted the phone and that worked. I contacted my nephew and got a pointer to a program called LTE discovery that helps with a lot but isn't foolproof. This program will recycle the radio whenever it can't detection a connection to LTE etc...

Over the last 9 months I have tried a few different roms even a few radios I found here on XDA. However I managed to put my phone into a reboot loop with one that took me almost 48 hours and sheer luck to get back out of that state and the get the old radio, which luckily I had backed up, back in place.

I was just really hoping that someone here on the XDA forums might have a solution for this. I would just like the radio to stay connected like normal for a phone and work over the long haul.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or seen a report and hopefully a fix for it here on the forums anywhere?

I would really greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks!

This is more of a "where should I go to get this info" question, as it has to do with changing fonts.

Anyone who has changed fonts on your m8 probably used flipfont apks that were posted in the One m8 theming forum by [MENTION=1999353]mushages[/MENTION].

I was a little late to that thread (didn't start changing fonts until after I upgraded to lollipop). But now, I would like to change my font to a custom font that I own (the result would be a flipfont apk [MENTION=1999353]mushages[/MENTION] technically/legally could not create for me if I had requested it in that thread.)
