[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
Hi guys,

I have a problem with my one m8 at&t, unlocked, and i can only navigate in hboot in hboot & fastboot modes. no htc logo screens or sth like this.

when i try to go to recovery or do factory reset i get three android skaters on the screen for cca 0.2 sec and it returns to fastboot usb mode.

Its friends phone so i dont know what he had done to it, but i just want to make it work again, wiping data is not the problem.. can you tell me what should i do to get recovery( TWRP/ CWM) working, i tried to do something but it didnt work.

some things i have tried in that order:

1)flashing twrp via fastboot:

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m8.img

target reported max download size of 1830727680 bytes

sending 'recovery' (16086 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.438s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: image update error)

finished. total time: 1.500s

2) flashing stock recovery via fastboot( i dont know if i had the right one):

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

target reported max download size of 1830727680 bytes

sending 'recovery' (14109 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.262s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))

finished. total time: 1.277s

3) 'booting' same stock recovery- what changed now are 3 android skaters for cca 0.2 sec when i try to enter recovery or start factory reset from bootloader, before it just went to fastboot usb mode.

C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img

creating boot image...

Can you confirm the bootloader is unlocked (says UNLOCKED on bootloader screen)?

If so, try fastboot erase cache, and then try to flash TWRP again. Try the current version TWRP (2.8.7.0). It shouldn't make a difference, but maybe there is some bug in 2.8.5.0 that I don't know about.

Of that doesn't work, you can try to relock the bootloader and run the 4.28.502 RUU. But if that doesn't work, it puts you in a slightly worse position than before, since you can't do much with bootloader locked (except RUU).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
Yes is unlocked and I use this version openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m8
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
Please help me :'(
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I gave 2 suggestions in my last post. Did you try them?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
Yes I tried run the RUU but don't work I have error
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I gave 2 suggestions, did you try both?

Also, its hard to help when you post one line of text and give no details. What error message (number)? The error message and number tells you why the RUU failed.

Did you relock the bootloader before RUU (which is required to RUU with s-on) as I already previously mentioned?

Honestly, it doesn't bode well for your device when the person trying to help is putting forth more effort then the person that is trying to get help.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
The phone worked well 2 days and I relock bootloader and install the RUU and the phone worked 4 more days and again two days ago the same problem

when I try edit boot o recovery says fail timeout

Sorry I don't speak English :/
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You speak (or at least type) English just fine for the purpose, from what I can tell.

You need to unlock the bootloader again to flash any recovery.

I'll ask again: What error message do you get when you try the RUU????
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
ERROR[171]: ERROR USB CONECTION

but when I cmd fastboot command

C:\adb>fastboot devices

HT45ECDM02551 fastboot
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
So you obviously have a USB connectivity issue.

Although, I'll admit its a bit odd to have that error when the command "fastboot devices" seems to return the proper response (indicated that the device is connected).

Do you happen to have USB 3.0 ports?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
Yes the command fastboot work fine and I'm using USB 2.0 port

don't are the ports because I tried in other pc and don't work the RUU file
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Maybe your cable is faulty, try another cable.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
Man I sent the phone to HTC for repair :(
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Too bad. Unless there was some physical damage or physical defect to the phone, the condition was probably reversible without HTC service.

As HTC will easily determine that the phone was modded (UNLOCKED on bootloader screen), they will charge you from the repair. And usually in these cases, they replace the motherboard, which is a costly repair.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
**** I wait the answer of HTC

and I'll say you what they respond
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rica0322:
Same issue

I am having the same problem. ROM is LOCKED and S-ON. I cannot unlock using the HTC Unlock_code.bin. I tried several times over the past day. Reliably same result - flash works but phone reboots into HTC then AT&T logo and I am back to "Decrypt storage" screen.

C:\Android>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

target reported max download size of 1826414592 bytes

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.125s]

writing 'unlocktoken'...

(bootloader) unlock token check successfully

OKAY [ -0.000s]

finished. total time: 0.141s

RUU also fails to work. It completes a couple of checks then makes the phone reboot back to screen mentioned above. I *can* run FASTBOOT DEVICES and other FASTBOOT commands from FASTBOOT USB with cable. Have tried other computers and other cables with similar results. I am hoping for a miracle answer so my OCD doesn't drive me crazy.

If I could actually get the ROM unlocked that might help me. Somehow I think AT&T is taking over each reboot. I have had this phone since last March when they first came out, if that lends a clue. Thanks for any ideas!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
Send your phone to HTC, the repair it's free I'm waiting for my repaired phone the next week
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rica0322:
I will speak with HTC and see what they can do to help. Thank you!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hack14u:
Error 171 was common on Windows 8 machines, it was a connectivity issue. There are a number of threads on this. It was resolved in 8.1, if that's what you are using. There are also things you need to do to get a RUU to run properly. There are plenty of threads on that too. This site is your friend, read, keep reading, and then read some more. I have never had an HTC One series that I couldn't get back running no matter what was done to it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Not nearly enough info to provide any meaningful help. What hboot, radio number, what OS number (on hboot screen, or main version on getvar all)? Provide getvar all output to be sure you provide all the vital facts (be sure to delete IMEI and serial numbers, which are private info).

Any error message when the RUU fails?

What Windows versions did the PCs you try running? As mentioned, some builds are known to cause issues with RUU.

What does that even mean???
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Its just stuck on the boot splash screen, and of course the ATT version has a ATT logo on the boot splash screen.

There isn't anything special or shady about the ATT variant. It bootloader unlocks and RUUs just like any other version.

Don't waste your time with Win10. New Win versions never play well with RUUs until HTC updates the drivers (which based on history won't happen for better part of a year). And I was helping another user that had the same USB connection error on Win10, and got it working fine on Win7.

Win7 should work fine. So you probably just need to concentrate your time on getting the RUU to work on that machine, rather than wasting time on a Win10 PC. Make sure the ports are USB 2.0, since 3.0 is known to cause issues as well. Make sure HTC drivers are installed.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rica0322:
Thanks again for your reply! Unfortunately, although the unlock code process thinks it worked (I get a success message from FASTBOOT FLASH UNLOCKTOKEN Unlock_code.bin, when I select "yes" on the phone to actually unlock and the phone reboots, it goes right back to the Decrypt Storage screen I've been getting upon a normal reboot since last week. (I certainly never encrypted the phone, and if I enter anything for the password it asks me for, the response is that my password is correct but unfortunately the data is corrupt.) Going back to the HBOOT/FASTBOOT/RECOVERY screen after that shows it is still locked (i.e. no change in state).

I should mention that I tried these steps today on the Windows 7 laptop per your advice, and although the FASTBOOT FLASH ZIP 0P6BIMG.zip did more than I had seen in the past (I got excited for a minute), I ended up with the "signature verify fail" message I has seen many times over the past few days. It appears that being LOCKED and S ON puts a real damper on an OS repair. It just is not giving me access to do what needs to be done to get it reflashed.

I apologize [MENTION=3220649]hack14u[/MENTION] - I missed this message until just now. So far I have tried a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 laptop. I happen to have a Windows 8.1 as well - a prize from a casino for spending tons of money. Since I have already tried tons of things over the past few days, I'll give this one a try as well. I'll first try the ruu, then the HTCdev unlock, then the fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip if prior thing fails. I do think the RUU is my only hope on my own at this point. I'll report back.

Rich
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If your are trying to run this, the thread clearly states that s-off is required; and that is the reason for signature fail.

Trying "tons of things" on the Win10 machine is probably a waist of time. New Win builds always cause trouble with RUUs. Win8.1 should work, but even that (in the past at least) has caused a number of issues with RUUs as well. I'd concentrate your efforts on the Win7 machine, and getting the RUU.exe to work on that.

stuck in entering recovery screen

I tried rooting my phone using TWRP recovery 2.8.7. when i tried to enter it to install SuperSU, it's stuck on the "entering recovery..." screen, i dont know if i should try to turn it off because i dont want to hard brick it, any suggestions? I unlocked the bootloader and did flashed everything without a problem, it is just stuck on the entering recovery screen

[MENTION=4930918]gato06[/MENTION] - Did you have to pay for the repair (replacement phone) from HTC?

[MENTION=2182116]Scotty85[/MENTION] had the phone a while, but it wouldn't cooperate with him either. So I called HTC and sent it in for a repair quote. They want $290 to repair my HTC One M8. Needs a new motherboard they say. It's coming back to me unrepaired. That's too expensive. I was hoping they'd feel bad about a phone that died after 16 months, but I might have paid half that for a repair.

Looks like an LG G4 next go round. I'm not crazy about no removable battery in the Samsung S6 and HTC One. Of course, I can never buy another HTC, since this one died after only 16 months. The LG looks to meet my expectations. I may try to hold out until my upgrade date in November to get the new phone, though I might let AT&T do a sales job with me. It's gotten a lot more difficult to compare phone/service plan bundled pricing with the different AT&T Next plans and contract plans.

If anyone has any horror stories about the LG G4, I'd love to know now. I would like to thank [MENTION=2182116]Scotty85[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2682748]EarlyMon[/MENTION] for their help to me in trying to get the older phone working.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gato06:
[MENTION=6847304]rica0322[/MENTION] No man

I don't paid nothing and

my phone was used

I bought my phone on ebay
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rica0322:
Maybe it was still under the first year warranty. I'm glad you didn't have to pay! First phone that ever died on me..

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
After clean flashing multiple ROMs, I have a mobile network signal battery drain problem that is severely reducing my battery life. I used to be able to get nearly double the amount of battery life I currently get when I was on stock CM11S. Is there a way to check what is happening and what is causing the drain? I already greenified pretty much all apps.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
Looking at the screenshot, I feel that you are on Lollipop ROM.

I suggest you to visit general section of this board and check out the index thread (sticky thread) and find out the links for modem (radio) threads

Try flashing different modems which are compatible with your ROM and use the modem which gives you good network signal.

You need to download the compatible modem zip or img, and if it is a zip, you can directly flash via recovery like TWRP or if it is a img file, you need to flash from bootloader mode using fastboot commands
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
Yes I am on Lollipop. Still getting used to it. Kit Kat was much better in my opinion even though it's much older.

I've downloaded a couple modems and firmware files, including the latest one by [MENTION=2040569]jgcaap[/MENTION] and the latest OxygenOS firmware. Both as I understand, include modem files which are named NON-HLOS.bin. I flashed the OxygenOS firmware in TWRP 2.8.6.0 but the baseband version remains the same, ending in NAZM-1. I then extracted it and flashed the Oxygen NON-HLOS.bin via Wugfresh and the baseband version is still NAZM-1. I know I'm not the only one having troubles flashing firmware and modem files via TWRP 2.8.6.0 or 2.8.7.0 but it appears that flashing via fastboot (Wugfresh) doesn't work either? Or am I doing something wrong here?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
You are absolutely correct.

Last suggestion would be

Flash CMOS12 fastboot images

Complete system wipe including internal storage is recommended

That's the last try you can do
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
Is the mobile network bar supposed to be completely filled like that though? Or should it have black spaces in between?

I had already flashed the latest CM12S images in the past as you recommended but it didn't change anything.

Finally got the courage to have another go after nearly bricking my near new phone:eek:. Root checker confirmed access granted

Rooted with odin 3.10 and CF auto

Android: 5.0 lollipop

SuperSu 2.45

Baseband: G900IDVU1BOD2

Build: LRX21T.G900IDVU1BOET1

As i dont know much about anything can someone give me some advice. The main reason i rooted was for control over app permissions and privacy and i like the idea of customising stuff. Also im not too keen on rooting my phone every time it wants to update. Any advice on what to research and where to start learning

Edit: can anyone recommend a privacy app/s , I want to use xprivacy but not sure how to proceed installing xposed . Im gonna wait till there is an easy straight forward solution, is there anything else that will block permissions etc is comprehensive and easy to install?

Thanks

You can contact the Lenovo A328 onwer. I'm not have that device (not available in my country), so i can't build this ROM for your device. :D

bug? i guess

only works on 2g... cant get it to switch on 3g

started automatically.... i dont know how.... anyways thanks for this

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just used it for a day and found out that i cant play any games on this rom.... i tried spiderman unlimited, 8 ball pool and marvel future fight.... all these games used to work fine with the qneon custom rom but not this cm11.... in addition could you tell me how to revert back to cwm from philz touch recovery as i have a backup of my previous rom and like to play the above games
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Anonim47:
PhilZ Recovery can restore your CWM Backup, because PhilZ is CWM Advanced Edition. Anyway i test this ROM for playing Real Racing 3, Asphalt 8, Gangstar Vegas, it's work fine. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mercurythepower:
i tried restoring the backup i had made but i get an error that the storage cant be mounted.... do you think that reinstalling the rom might fix it???

sorry for pestering so much, i just love those three games and i love cm.... just want them to work together

do i need to change the kernel or something??? if yes then which kernel should i switch to???
