[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Ok, so we know two things:

1) You do not have the same software as [MENTION=5148480]JustinSB[/MENTION] (I thought you started from the same RUU, but something is obviously different).

2) The most plausible explanation for the TWRP issue is still a difference in the HBOOT, in spite of identical version numbers.

I actually had a look at the hboot_signedbyaa.img files included in the 401.10 OTA (WWE version) and the 161.2 OTA (Vodafone version), which should be directly comparable (first Lollipop release). The files differ, i.e., branding does seem to cause different HBOOT images.

Does anybody know what the official version number of the HBOOT was for the first Lollipop release, before the StageFright update? Was it lower than 3.19.0.0000 or was it the same? The HBOOT was definitely updated in the stagefright OTA, so the version number should have changed, but maybe they changed something without updating the version number appropriately (which would be annoying).

I am S-Off, so I could just try to go back to the previous HBOOT version, which worked fine with TWRP 2.8.7.0. Would it work if I took the firmware.zip from that OTA, removed all image files except the hboot_signedbyaa.img, copied it to the external SD-card under the name 0P6BIMG.zip and booted into the bootloader? (I don't want to fry my HBOOT ... so am hesitant to just try.)

That's my "plan B". The reason I have not done so is warranty. The state my phone is in right now I could go back to 100% stock (with locked bootloader, S-On and still saying "official"). The problem is that I have not found an RUU anywhere for the Vodafone version, so in case of some warranty problem I do not know how to go back to that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustinSB:
Yes, a good point about "hiding the issue", rather than finding the source of the problems. The zip that I used is valid for HTC__032 as well as HTC__001, so it's weird that your CRC's are completely different.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Aehm, [MENTION=3710150]whiperhack[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5148480]JustinSB[/MENTION], I just realized that the CRCs for you guys for hboot and boot do match!

So forget the conclusions I drew above, you have the exact same hboot and same boot image, yet for [MENTION=5148480]JustinSB[/MENTION] TWRP 2.8.7.0 works and for [MENTION=3710150]whiperhack[/MENTION] it does not. What the heck? :eek: :mad:

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

Ok, guys, let's start clutching at a straws. What else could be different?

-) As far as I have read, both [MENTION=3710150]whiperhack[/MENTION] and I have software status "official". [MENTION=5148480]JustinSB[/MENTION], do you have "tampered" or "official"? There were a few other guys with TWRP problems, we could try to track that down with them, too. It sounds rather improbable, though.

-) The CID is different. But it is hard to imagine that this is the cause. This could be checked by [MENTION=3710150]whiperhack[/MENTION] changing it to HTC__001 and testing if TWRP 2.8.7.0 boots.

-) Could there be an actual hardware difference? Very hard to imagine for me.

-) Any other ideas?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkrumError:
Guys can someone please help me?

You all seem to know what you're talking about and I'm pretty noob with these things....

My phone got stuck at logo screen after I tried to OTA update (from 4.16.401.10 to 4.16.401.13) while I was already rooted.

I tried what [MENTION=5148480]JustinSB[/MENTION] said about renaming the RUU zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on SD Card, but I got an error saying (Device halted due to Large Image update fail)

I have S-on, cidnum: HTC__J15

All I want is for my phone to work, I don't care if it's going to be rooted or not, TWRP or not, or even latest version or not.

I just need it to work as a phone ASAP.

Any help would be appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Good one! ;) :p Seriously, though, this is all really puzzling ...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustinSB:
Mine is "official" too...

& I'm pretty sure that the hardware ID's were the same, which leaves either something to do with a difference between the exe & the zip, & the way they perform the RUU, or something with the images.

Perhaps all stock images are equal, it's just that some are more equal than others.

This page mentions your CID: http://www.androidayos.com/2015/01/29/htc-one-m8-official-android-5-0-1-ruu-4-16-401-10-now-available/ although you may need a relocked bootloader and stock recovery. I only gave it a quick look, but it 'may' help you to get your phone back. Failing that, all I did was to google M8 HTC__J15 & it seemed to bring back quite a range of options, so that may be a way forwards for you.

I'm pretty sure that it's because you are S-ON that the trick that I pulled wouldn't work for you
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustinSB:
Yeah... S-OFF, Lollipop, stock & official. Weird...!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkrumError:
Isn't there any other way? I've read something about Nandroid Backups, will that help? if I download a stock rom backup?

EDIT: nevermind, I got it to work, you were right all I had to do is flash the stock recovery and relock the bootloader, currently it's optimizing apps.

Now does this mean that my phone is 100% stock? and can I safely run the OTA update?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzeem2010:
So, I delayed the ota a handful of times.. then when I was at work the update decided to update itself, and at the time I had a custom recovery in, so I rebooted to OS, and, several hours later, extracted the OTA from FUMO folder. I have it, sitting in plain sight on my computer. I have to keep a win7 machine running because I can't seem to get 7zip or ADB to work on any windows version higher than that.

Anyhow. So, after switching back to stock recovery, I install the OTA, and it goes through the green arrow screen with the green bar, reboots twice, and then stalls at the One splash screen... and has been sitting there for quite some time. No Android is upgrading, nothing. I rebooted into bootloader, then into stock recovery, and looked through all the options to flash from, and FUMO folder isn't there.

So, just spotted that ADB is connecting under the splash screen. I'm able to manipulate things thru adb..

I'm just not sure what to do next.. also tried fastboot erase cache but still stuck at ONE spash screen..

Vitals:

AT&T 5.0.2

Stock, S-off, rooted.

SuperSu 2.46 (I think)

Stock recovery currently, but have TWRP 2.86 handy

I did one mod to platform.xml to make the SD card writeable (which was probably pointless in the end seeing as the problem was my old SD card controller became corrupted & permanently write-locked) but I never undid that mod.

Aside from RUU or factory resetting.. help?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myth1001:
I faced the same issue. I was on 4.19.707.2 stock rom, rooted with TWRP 2.8.7, S-OFF, HTC_044. Downloaded OTA (4.19.707.4), flashed stock recovery and install the OTA. Stucked at HTC One boot screen!

Restored Nandroid backup (stock 4.19.707.2 rom) and tried the same thing again (flashed stock recovery, then OTA) and it failed again!

Tried factory reset, flash OTA and it doesn't work either.

Finally, I flashed 4.19.707.2 RUU, downloaded and flash OTA and it boots up! Then TWRP2.8.7 and superuser. It's fully working now with all vulnerabilities patched!:D

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amh1219:
Any idea why flashing this particular ruu fixed the problem?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Because RUU is pure stock ROM with no root.

On lollipop, OTA will fail when the stock ROM is rooted due changes in binary.

You need a pure non-rooted stock ROM either with RUU or a non-rooted backup.

Re-unrooted a rooted stock ROM won't work either.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amh1219:
Ah, perfect. I have a RUU that I got straight from HTC that should work then. Thanks!

Hey Guys.

I have my Phone back from the HTC Support (it was rooted and unlocked and the repaired it...), and now i have again the original Stock Rom, unrooted, locked, etc.

but the recovery shows still this "error" [MENTION=5148480]JustinSB[/MENTION] also has.

But i works, even the OTA Stagefright update.

[MENTION=3838420]tim_h[/MENTION]

I had some time in this evening and I did some tests by running again all the update process.

I searched the web and I found the very first image of my HTC: 1.12.401.17 - 4.4.2 KK based.

All images were flashed successful less than the touch panel drivers with old numbers:

- tp_SYN3202.img:

(bootloader) start image[tp] unzipping & flushing...

(bootloader) ..... Bypassed

(bootloader) current_image_number=8

- tp_SYN3508.img:

(bootloader) start image[tp] unzipping & flushing...

(bootloader) ..... Bypassed

(bootloader) current_image_number=9

- tp_SYN3528.img

(bootloader) start image[tp] unzipping & flushing...

(bootloader) ...... Successful

(bootloader) current_image_number=10

I rebooted to fastboot, flased the ruu, all ok, hboot 3.16 ...... etc

I run 2-3 hours all the updates until 4.16.401.13 and the result is the same. 2.8.7.0(1) wont run and restarts to bootloader.

So in this way I can say that is a compatibility issue between the recovery and my phone. :))))
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Ok, so to conclude: You tried various ways to reach the 4.16.401.13 version. Whenever you are on this version, TWRP newer than 2.8.1.0 fails. When you stop at 4.16.401.10 then it works. Correct?

I think I have the same issue as you. For others (e.g. [MENTION=5148480]JustinSB[/MENTION]) the problem does not exist at all, even if the software version is the same. Very very strange. Maybe there is indeed some slight difference in hardware, but why should it only matter on the last update and not before. I don't get it.

I followed the instructions on the first page on how to get back on stock with twrp by ckpv5 so I can get OTA to MM from Lollipop . Everything went just fine. But my phone stuck on HTC android logo when I was trying to upgrade to MM. After I downloaded it through OTA, I decided to install but after about 1hr 15mins it remained the place I left it which was that HTC android logo and after a couple minutes the phone went off as a result of low battery. Now charged and still remain the same position after about 20mins

[General Questions and Answers] WebWill3r:
Hi all and thx in advance for your time.

In different situation I found myself dealing with non-responding phones. Sometimes completely black, other repeating the brand logo animation screen on and on...

I dont know is at this stage it would make much of a difference if you are dealing with a Nokia or a Samsung, so with Windows O.S. or Andriod one. In case you'd tell me...

My basic question is: which are the rule of thumb for a standard functionality check-up.

What I mean is...which are the basic steps you'd follow through to try and understand what the issue could be, before you actually open the phone itself and take a look inside. I'd like to know from the outside point of view, step by step, what procedures is it correct and complete to follow before having to look into the phone, and therefore deducting that it's some sort of hardware issue.

And...are there any timings? Few times I heard of devices which were completely dead and after a couple of days, just trying to put it on for fun...it finally worked! I mean...do these devices have some sort of timing management or not?

I'm sorry...I know it's noob and maybe it's not the right place, in case mods please kindly move it...but I find that many...too many nowadays, when the phone freezes with black non responding screen...the owner seems to freeze as well! Or they panic and go mad about loosing their contacts or their mail or appointments...

Mobile phones are so diffused today that everyone should know the few, basic steps to follow when and if they face a soft brick or a hard brick of their mobile phone.

Hello all,

Found a really strange thing.

I sent a picture from the stock message app ( also on t-mobile) . when I delete the picture from the gallery, it deletes the picture from the camera folder, but then adds the picture into a picture folder.

I have tried deleting the picture folder, but it keeps coming back and duplicating the images. I have tried this on all 3 of our Note 5's and it does it to all of them.

I got an over the air update from AT&T which I guess didn't go well because the settings app kept crashing. I had never done anything technical with the phone so I called them and they recommended doing a factory reset.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Download the most recent RUU from the thread linked below to your computer:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

Make sure your phone has a full charge. Reboot your device to the bootloader and connect your phone and computer via USB cable. Select the fastboot option from the menu and you should show that you're connected via fastboot USB mode. Open up a command window with ADB and type the command "fastboot oem lock". Press enter. This command will re-lock your boot loader. Now, double-click the RUU file you downloaded to start the installer. Be patient, as it may take a few minutes for the installer to start. Once it starts, follow the prompts on your computer screen. Once the RUU completes you can disconnect your phone from your computer and reboot your phone. The RUU will wipe the internal storage on your phone, so make a back-up and store it on your computer or your external SD card, if applicable.
