red triangle trying to update OTA lollipop while rooted with TWRP...

Hey guys, I was rooted but on my stock 4.4.2 Sense Rom. I wanted to flash the OTA lollipop update. I had TWRP so i could not update the OTA. So i found a video on youtube that said i had to...

1 - Replace custom recovery with stock recovery

2 - Process OTA Update

3 - Replace stock recovery with custom recovery

I was at step 2 and my htc one m8 is tmobile US and was T-MOB010 so i downloaded "stock+recovery+1.12.531.19+recovery" there was two different ones for me to choose from. There was that one and then "2.22.531.5" however i could not find that DL link. I then flashed the stock recovery thru ADB and rebooted my phone, and it started to update but then i got a red triangle. I saw a comment on the youtube video that said i needed to find the OTA update and transfer to my PC and find the "recovery.img" file and then extract that and flash that to my phone. I looked thru the entire zip file however there is a folder i could not access, the last one named "firmware" I try to extract but i get an error message saying "cannot open, file is invalid" The OTA update i found in my internal storage in download folder and it is named "OTA_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_4.20.531.4-3.32.531.2_release_420432xio08y7xuups2gkl" that's got to be it because that's the only thing that could be the update any help??

Once you've relocked the bootloader, you will be stuck in bootloader mode, I believe. So you will be running the RUU in fastboot mode.

The m8 gets hung up when entering into TWRP Recovery mode.

I had tried updating TWRP using TWRP Manager (I did ask it to patch the sd card, to fix the problem) and when it tried to update the custom recovery it failed and then prompted me to reboot into Recovery Mode. When it booted up it got stuck at "Entering Recovery...". I then allowed the battery to drain completely and was able to turn back on without any data loss. I then preceded to update the Recovery with my computer using the following commands

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-m8.img

it according to the terminal was successful but when trying to boot back into Recovery it got stuck as well. Does anyone know how to fix this, I am trying to flash CM12.1 onto the device with the appropriate gapps.

Hi folks,

I just rooted my vodafone M8 using Hasoon2000's toolkit with TWRP and SuperSu.

I mainly rooted so that I could remove the preinstalled apps... after rooting I tried uninstalling them the normal way but this still had zero effect.

How do I go about uninstalling such apps now I have root? Do I need to S-OFF as well?

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrainAss:
Use something like Titanium Backup. It will let you uninstall system apps (which is what those apps are considered). You don't need to have S-OFF for this.

[MENTION=2032916]TrainAss[/MENTION] Many thanks for that suggestion, works great!

Only thing is, when I deleted one of the vodafone apps, its service was still running, so it kept crashing, so I restarted the phone and when it turned on some vodafone service that was still left on the device decided to try and go reinstall everything! Grr!

I had a hunt around but couldn't determine which vodafone app this might be, is there any method of preventing this type of behavior?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrispyKay:
Not sure if I should just start a new thread with this but anyways, here it is:

Had my HTC One m8 for a while now, never gave me any real problems until recently. Although I did have to do the whole battery reset thing before...

Anyways, this started a couple days ago. I noticed that I had to keep the charger in a certain position for the phone to charge. Basically with the phone flat and the cable hanging down, or putting weight on it the cable. It doesn't seem like it's overly loose though. just wiggled a bit but I feel like it was always like that. When you first plug it in it fits snug and almost "clips" in. The little part in the middle that sticks out doesn't move at all.

At first that was the only issue, but with time I noticed the charge got super slow and if I was using the phone it would basically just die slowly so I assumed the contact surface was dirty or something so I got a little pin and out came a wee bit of dirt from the corners of the port. Thought it helped a bit initially as I was able to use the phone and have it actually charge but then the battery percentage started going down again so I stopped using the phone but then it would just remain at 15% battery even with EBS mode on. I checked the battery usage, doesn't seem to be any apps causing unusual drainage on the battery as far as I can tell. I've turned the phone off and it still goes back and forth from 14-15%. When I "cleaned" the port, I wasn't able to fit the pin on one side of the little "fin" or whatever you wanna call it inside the port. Could that be it? I mean, when the cable is pushed down (in order for the phone to charge) it'd be making even less contact with that area so I don't think it's relevant.

Anyhow, since the port isn't overly loose, could it maybe be a bad battery connection? It's getting pretty frustrating now haha

I've been toying with this the past couple hours now, no amount of "cleaning" the port helps. I did something some of you might cringe at. Wrapped a piece of tin foil around the usb cable thinking it might help. Well, it did but it didn't. When I unplugged the phone, it was at 6%, not going up at all but indicating it was charging. After I put the cable back in (with the tin foil around it) it displayed 16%. The entire time the phone's been off. Now, is the battery percentage just not updating or what?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neofiliate:
I had a similar sounding issue with my One X last year, restarting used to help. But the main thing I found was the charging cable had started wearing through from where it hangs out of the charger and so wasn't making a good connection. Maybe try a new cable (The charger itself seemed to be fine).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrispyKay:
Tried different cables/chargers. Even a Kodak camera charger haha. Recently got a 2.1 amp car charger as the cheap 1 amp charger wouldn't actually charge the phone while I was using it but even with that it still just dies slowly,

[Help] HTC One M8 GPE 5.0.1 to 5.1 OTA Keeps Failing.

I live in Australia and I finally got the OTA update. So i proceed to download and install it. It downloaded and went to recovery. It starts installing then fails. I try again and it fails. So I decide to try the ADB Sideload method and it says that the update.zip is telling it to do an unexpected action. (WTF) I am annoyed as I really want the update. Can someone please help.

Note: I converted my phone from Sense to GPE. The OTA update from Android 4.4.4 to Android 5.0.1 was perfect. I have the Google CID so that is not an issue. I am also rooted but have not flashed a custom recovery so it is pretty much stock. If you need to any more, just comment and I will answer. If all else fails, I guess I will have to download the 5.1 RUU file and flash it. (This means that I have to backup all my data *sigh):crying::crying::crying:

When you wiped system, you deleted the OS. So obviously you will not be able to boot after that (and not installing another OS).

I don't typically advocate wiping system just to flash a ROM. I know some folks swear by it, thinking it will make for a "cleaner" install. But it also puts you in the present situation of no OS, if for some reason the ROM doesn't flash (as you now see). Plus its redundant, as flashing the ROM (successfully) will wipe system anyway.

Did you make a nandroid backup with TWRP before trying to flash CM12? If so, just restore the nandroid backup. If not, why the heck not??? This is basic protocol before flashing ROMs.

In that case, put another ROM on the phone, either by adb push, or copy to a removable SD (using for instance a computer with card reader) and insert into the phone and flash in TWRP.

Your CM12 flash may have failed for a few different reasons: outdated hboot, outdated version TWRP, or wrong version of CM12 (meant for another device).

More or less correct, but I would flash the new recovery first, then update your firmware, then flash the ROM.

You can update you firmware without a PC if you are S-Off, by renaming it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter) and placing it onto the root of your extSD, then gettting into bootloader, selecting hboot, and letting the phone do it's thing.

Make sure that to delete the renamed zip after the flash, otherwise every time you boot to hboot it'll try to update again.

Hey guys!

So I installed the xPosed alpha on my stock rom 5.0 HTC One M8 HTC_332 (Latin America) and it worked as expected. Later on (today) I wanted to uninstall it and wait for the full stable release. I read that the way to uninstall Xposed alpha was to wipe /system through TWRP, which eventually led me to have no OS, smart kid.

So now, i'm stuck at boot (soft-bricked I guess), with no OS (twrp pretty much screams it at me whenever i'm about to reboot/shut off/etc). I can sideload adb through TWRP for what i've tried, but I'm not sure how to proceed from there (whether I can get the fully stock 5.0 rom from the source, or get a custom rom, which i'd rather not do tbh).

My TWRP version is 2.8.6.0, as I said, was running stock 5.0, I have the stock recovery at hand and I can sideload adb. S-off.

Any ideas on how to go back to just plain 5.0 (either rooted or not, it's of little importance atm) are more than welcome.

Bricked

Hi,

I believe I have royally screwed my One M8.

It is currently stuck in bootloader and will not enter recovery.

Ages ago I flashed a custom ROM AND kernel. Because the phone is S-on, I couldn't flash the updated firmware when Lolipop came out. I searched far and wide for a stock rom (silly me not having a backup) with the intention of taking an OTA update but to no avail.

Today I took a backup using TWRP and tried again to find a stock ROM to flash. During this process, for some reason I don't fully understand, I used fastboot to do:

fasboot oem lock

So now it is RELOCKED in the bootloader with a shiny new *** Secuirty Warning ***. And now it is stuck. I can't reflash a recovery or I get the message:

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

From doing some minimal research, it looks like this is because the phone has a custom kernel.

I'm sure it's screwed. But I live in hope. So here's a dump of getvar all:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000

Complete false alarm.Just requested my unlock token again from HTC and unlocked bootloader. Works fine.

Still stuck with this custom ROM though with apparently no way to go back. Any advice there?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
From your getvar, I can see that you are using a WWE device. Also, that you are very old firmware. I would suggest you run the latest WWE RUU to not only update your device to Lollipop, but also get rid of the custom ROM and back to the stock one where you can start over with a clean slate. When I say clean slate, I mean just that. Back up anything important to you that is on the phone, such as contacts (google takes care of that if you opted in), photos, sms, and whatever else you don't want to lose. Running the RUU will wipe your device.

Download the WWE RUU from here onto your PC. It has to be Windows and not Mac.

When the download is finished get into fastboot mode and connect the phone to your PC.

Double click on the download to start the instal wizard, and follow the prompts.

And that's it. After that you will be on the stock 5.0.1 WWE ROM. Flash TWRP in fastboot, then flash superuser in recovery to root. Or you could also flash a rooted ROM after flashing TWRP, such as ViperOneM8. ;)

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. Followed your instructions to the letter. The RUU installer complains and says it's the wrong ROM, though. Starting to think this is a lost cause! ;~;

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

On further reading, some people seem to suggest that bootloader needs to be locked in order for RUU to work properly. I'm hesitant to run the command to relock it because I have a custom kernel (no idea how to locate stock) and it doesn't seem to like that, which is why I ended up believing I had bricked my phone before.

Is it worth running the command to relock and then retrying the RUU?
