Hi,

Today, I was performing an update to my HTC One M8 (international Europe version), after a while the device restarted and since then stuck in a boot loop. So, I reboot the device into bootloader page and made a Hard Rest but it did not solve the problem. The device is unrooted, unlocked and off course run on stock ROM. I also try to find a RUU.exe file in order to flash back my device to original state but I could only locate a RUU.zip (not RUU.exe), which matches my device. Here is the thread where I found the RUU.zip file; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376.

After downloading the RUU.zip file, I renamed it into “stock.zip”, and then, I reboot into RUU using the command “fastboot oem rebootRUU” and I tried to flash the RUU using “fastboot flash zip stock.zip”, but I always got the error “cannot load stock.zip”. I checked multiple times and ensure that the file has no error and fully downloaded. Also, I make sure that the name is correct, but I could not find a way to solve this error.

I also tried to extract the RUU.zip file using 7zip and inside it I found several *.img files including: boot_singed.img; recovery_signed.img; radio.img; and system.img (the largest file). I could not find “ROM.zip” file inside the RUU.zip file after extraction.

The device relevant information are:

Version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000

Version-baseband: 1.22.21331147A1.29G

Version-main: 3.28.401.9

Product: m8_ul

Cidnum: HTC_001

Can anyone help me overcoming this problem and fixing the boot-loop problem?

Is there any RUU.exe file which is compatible with this device?

Thanks.

Sorry to be a pest but I'm in a real bind. I tried to flash the latest stock nandroid for my CID but I think it was corrupt and it didn't work, and the earlier stock nandroid backup was on CMW. I've tried flashing that to some success, but now I cannot load my phone beyond bootloader because I think I deleted my ROM? I'm trying to flash a stock nandroid now on CMW but I'm getting constant MD5 errors. I'm not sure where to go from here.

HTC M8 sending messages and voice clips randomly

Hey guys,

I'm Having some trouble with my HTC M8.

Every now and then when I am sending a text message I will be only a few words in and my phone will just send the text. It is usually accompanied with it also sending a random voice clip along with the text. I noticed it happens when I press the "p" key or anything close to that key on my keyboard. It only ever happens in texts. The only way to stop it sending the texts is to quit the messager app and restart my phone.

I am using the textra app but when I stopped usinit that app the problem persisted even with the native messanger app. I am using the standard inbuilt keyboard. It was always very in frquent but now it seems to be happening every day and I'm constantly restarting my phone to send a text.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

help needed, new to rooting stuff

Hi forum members. This is my first post and and i am an infant in unlocking and rooting stuff. The reason I am researching these things is because of my HTC one m8. I got this phone used from a seller 6 months ago. I was expecting OTA updates but did not receive any till date. I am still running on 4.4.2 . So, after a bit of searching on forums, I learned about a thing called boot loader. And checked mine. To my surprise it was TAMPERED , UNLOCKED AND S-ON. Now I really don't know what that means. Some suggested to check if it's rooted, installed root checker and it said "device is not rooted" .

Can anyone pLease help me And explain me what all this means as it will be greatly appreciated.I only want to have OTA updates And need stock android. Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sapwiz:
Well, first I'd check if this app support short keys so maybe some short key has been accidentally defined.

If not, hopefully you have a customer recovery, than my next step would be to wipe delvik and cashe. I'm guessing wiping will do the work as it sounds like something is wrong with the way the app works...

if you don't have a custom recovery try uninstalling and reinstalling...

did i brick it?

I was on S-off, went from skydragon to stock firmware and then tried to install the OTA. Kept giving the Triangle error so i flashed the stock recovery using adb. Nothing changed, so i tried to go back to twrp recovery and that wont let me go into recovery either. So i manually flashed the latest firmware.zip using the adb commands and now i'm stuck at HTC logo. Please help.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamorro:
I made a huge mistake, help me please.

First of all, Sorry if I make any mistakes with the language as English is not my first language.

I rooted my HTC One M8 (Unlocked version) a month or two months ago, yesterday I received the Lollipop OTA update and I wanted to install it, I did as it said and it sent me to the The Win Project thing and as you all know, it failed. So I made a research on the internet and it said that it was impossible, either I needed to wait for the ROM or I needed to unroot my phone, So I as the noob that I am, went to the SuperSU program and clicked Unroot, then try it again, and from then on I started to make one mistake after another, I checked how to do a factory reset because I thought that even that I have my phone Rooted, I don't really exploit it as much, so it was okay to go back to basics and then afterwards install the official Lollipop update.

I went then to check some tips and I was unsuccessful, then I try to download the Candy5 version and try it and when I was "following instructions" I downloaded the Candy 5 and the gapps and everything and then I went to recovery mode, I wiped all the things that needed to be wiped and then I realized that I forgot to move the downloads from my PC to my HTC, so I clicked Reboot, it asked me to install the SuperSU and I clicked yes, then it rebooted, but it never went further away from the white screen with the green HTC logo in the middle and the "powered by Android" at the bottom. The HTC is frozen, I can't really do anything from there, I press the power button, the volume buttons, any combination between all these and nothing happens, when I connect it to my computer, the computer makes a sound as if detected an external device being connected but it doesn't really appear as a file.

What can I do? What should I do? I know I screwed up big time and you guys may hate people like me.

Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Hold down the power button + vol up until your phone reboots (up to 20 seconds). AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK, switch from vol up to vol down. That will take you to your bootloader.

Hey Everyone! I just have a quick question. What lollipop firmware would I use on my AT&T M8? I know the US Dev. and the AT&T versions are identical so I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks for the help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's not out yet for AT&T, so the only options you'd have involve being s-off. (converting to GPE for Lollipop, or possibly flashing another firmware if you SuperCid....)

But if you're s-on, you have to wait for Lollipop release on your model.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masterguy635:
Hey, Thanks for the reply!

I'm sorry that I didnt clarify that I was S-Off. But I am S-Off and have supercid. I've also come to know that both the US Dev and AT&T versions of the m8 are identical and that you can use the US Dev edition firmware on the AT&T m8 with no problems. I have done this before with the 4.4.4 firmware and was just wondering what was the lollipop firmware for the US Dev. Edition M8.

Lollipop Boot Loop

Hi All,

Reverted my HTC One M8 Sprint to a (semi) stock state to get OTA updates (stock recovery and stock ROM) but kept phone S-Off and rooted. I made a backup pre-OTA update ie. on Android 4.4.4 with TWRP last night wiped the phone then installed the Lollipop OTA. I then made another backup of that working functional 'stock' state. My problem now is every time I restore my backup (pre-OTA Update) the device gets stuck in a boot loop after the 'Android is Upgradiing and Optimizing Apps screen'. I chose only data to be restored and still the same boot loop. Wiped Dalvik and Cache and tried again and same result. Is there any way to pinpoint what is the offending data in the backup and leave it out? Is there anything else I could try that I'm missing? Does it have anything to do with ART vs Dalvik? I guess I could rebuild my apps and data from the scratch but I'd much explore all possible options to restore everything from my backup:confused:

Hello.

I have an Htc one m8 obviously. :P I recently had wanted to change my phone back to stock and re-lock it to receive OTA Updates. I had beforehand, twrp recovery, an Android rev HD with Lollipop 5.0.1

So long story short i ended up stuck on fastboot bootloader and i can't seem to flash any recovery/system/boot img to save my life.

I had twrp with the phone re-locked, however when i re-flashed twrp to upgrade it to a newer version, i lost my recovery fully, so i can't sideload.

I've also tried putting the right RUU in, but it won't accept that either. I always get a "FAILED remote:signature verify fail"

It's an S-On still

cidnum " T-MOB010"

product "m8_u1"

Anyone got any ideas on how to return fully to stock (i know it'll still be tampered an re-locked, just want OTA Updates and stock firms)

Or if that's just not possible with s-on, can someone help me get back to re-unlocked, since "fastboot oem unlock" fails as well. lol

Thanks for any help
