If you read what I wrote here earlier - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64391451&postcount=2844

then you know why I suggest option 1 instead of 2.

I see many users have problem with PC/USB connection, either not using USB2.0, no latest HTC USB driver installed and don't have microsoft visual C++ installed. Not to mention the hassle of relocking bootloader and later re-unlocking bootloader. And your problem is the connection problem.

If you want to go directly to 6.0

read this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4 for the driver part

and this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6 for the RUU part

Again I mention here : you need Windows PC with USB2.0, latest HTC USB drivers installed and of course a good working cable

No need S-Off.

If you're trying to install Viper4Android on MM ROM, you need permissive Selinux & a workaround on htc_audio_effects.conf

But for the latest release Viper4Android, you don't really need permissive Selinux anymore.

I don't use this sound mod, won't guide you ... you can check in General section where they have discussion on Soundmod for M8

Guys what is the easiest way to get all my data back after making an update or installing a new rom. I made a backup with twrp
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikazz:
Hello everybody,

I have made several attempts to recover deleted files on my HTC One M8, but so far without success.

My internal memory was very full, so I inserted a SD card.

Then i moved all my images from the internal memory to my SD card with the APP "ES File Explorer" (by cut and insert).

Now the data was on the SD card, but unfortunately the internal memory still appeared as full (even after several restarts).

So a few days later i moved that folder again from internal memory to the SD card with the HTC file manager app.

And I got a message asking me if I want to replace the existing folder on the SD card.

I confirmed the message with "yes", because I assumed that the folders are "only" integrated (as in Windows).

But then I realized that there were only empty folders on the SD card now.

The data recovery with Recuva and the SD card in the card reader of my PC did not get any result.

After several research on the Internet and contact with HTC I've found (I'll gladly disabused) that there are currently no data recovery programs that can cope with the MTP protocol.

Therefore, I decided to root my HTC One M8, even if this erases all data (again), to try data recovery on the internal memory (by Image).

However, the data recovery with the image of the internal memory remained unsuccessful until now.

Has anyone an (other) idea or a different tool with which I could get my data back or is there no hope?

The mobile phone has been no longer used and has been in flight mode so that the corresponding memory locations are not overwritten.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Are you s-off, allowing you to run the RUU with bootloader unlocked? I assume so, otherwise, how would you unlock the bootloader without PC?

I'm not personally a big fan of "middle man" apps like Flashify or TWRP Manager; as install of TWRP by fasboot is more reliable. But in this case (no PC access, but working OS) and if there is no flashable TWRP zip available; the apps are a good way to get TWRP installed.

Somewhat depends on what you are installing or updating. And are you talking about an update or ROM install that has already happened, or not yet?

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

The phone is booted into OS?

If using a PC, try going to Windows Device Manager, find the device, then pick the option to manually select drivers, and pick the Android MTP drivers. I sometime (often?) have to do this, for my PC to "see" the phone via adb.

but for the three of us without handy PC access , diskdigger pro was pretty darn good on recovering files , pics , etc from internal. BUT , nothing is "named" ; every zip , pic , audio , etc just has a number AND big zips (roms and such) are partial. ex, if was 1.4gb after restore was 785mb.

so i guess ruu wipes internal but it doesnt get over-written:what:

I had that happen before. Your problem is probably a clogged mike/speaker screen on the bottom. Use an old toothbrush to clean the holes with small circular motions to get rid of the blockage.

It could be because you are using an older version of TWRP. Make sure that your recovery is up to date, and if it isn't, update it and reflash the ROM.

Also, don't restore data via TWRP either.

If you have recently received the marshmallow update, the OTA file is probably still on your device. That's 1.6gb by itself. Remove apps you don't use. If rooted, use root uninstaller to remove the bloatware also, especially if your device is branded.

When you format as internal, the sd card becomes internal storage also.

Bricked Device

Hiya.

Slightly awkward issue that I've managed to create with my lovely M8. After trying to go back to a stock rom, I've managed to cause my phone to no longer boot. I can't access the bootloader (Volume down and power does nothing, volume up and power reboots but the device simply shows the default htc boot screen and then nothing)

adb and fastboot can't detect the device (even though windows can see it but can't see filesystem)

So to summarize, I can't access the bootloader or recovery and I can't sideload anything.

What are my options? Am I fooked?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the screen comes on, you can get into bootloader. You're just not pulling off the button combo correctly.

Hold vol up and power to force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons, and just start holding vol down until bootloader appears. If it doesn't, you either didn't start pressing vol down fast enough; or let go too early. Just repeat the sequence.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
This is my personal opinion as I don't own any other brand device except HTC.

(Tried some but I always feel incomplete)

1. I recommend this M8 as I don't see/know other device can make me love a phone ;) It is not late to have it now as it is still a HTC flagship at the moment.

For a long term use ... this is the one I guess.

2. I believe this is a good phone as I don't feel I will upgrade to M9 when it arrives. Maybe wait for the next after M9.

3. I just made small modification as I don't feel I need a custom ROM as the stock is damn good enough. On normal usage with heavy browsing .. it can last more than a day for me.

4. No regret ... everything is perfect for me and really enjoy it.

5. You can check the development section and see how it goes .. personally I see nothing much need to develop except some tweaks and mods. The stock is damn good (I say it again ;))

When it comes to "bit clumsy" that's the area you need to improve ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Yep.. I believe things have changed for the better. In fact HTC is better now when it comes to update and kernel source release. More development to come after Android L is released ... maybe in next 2 to 3 months for Sense and next 1 or 2 weeks for GPE edition (maybe earlier I guess).

For now I'm running a leaked GPE ROM for Android L ... damn lovely ;)
