[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuccubusSex:
is that what he meant? if it is do you know how to do it on linux? here is the last bit of that chat we had before he went offline

[14:08] <@Fuses> ok, so

[14:08] <@Fuses> remove usb from phone

[14:08] <@Fuses> and reconnect

[14:08] <@Fuses> and then enter command:

[14:08] <@Fuses> dmesg

[14:09] <spark__> alright

[14:10] <@Fuses> ok, is there lots of /dev/sdX0 /dev/sdX1 etc printouts

[14:11] <spark__> srry im sort of a noob but what should i be searching for?

[14:11] <@Fuses> **** loads of partitions

[14:11] <spark__> yes

[14:11] <@Fuses> like ~30-50

[14:12] <spark__> tons

[14:12] <@Fuses> copy/paste that line

[14:12] <@Fuses> not all, but like first two lines

[14:12] <spark__> there are a lot of lines

[14:13] <@Fuses> I mean where /dev/sdX1 /dev/sdX2 are

[14:15] <spark__> like this?

[14:15] <spark__> sdc: sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 sdc4 sdc5 sdc6 sdc7 sdc8 sdc9 sdc10 sdc11 sdc12 sdc13 sdc14 sdc15 sdc16 sdc17 sdc18 sdc19 sdc20 sdc21 sdc22 sdc23 sdc24 sdc25 sdc26 sdc27 sdc28 sdc29 sdc30 sdc31 sdc32 sdc33 sdc34 sdc35 sdc36 sdc37 sdc38 sdc39 sdc40 sdc41 sdc42 sdc43 sdc44 sdc45 sdc46 sdc47 [ 401.379350] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk

[14:16] <@Fuses> yeah, that

[14:18] <spark__> there is also this

[14:18] <spark__> sdd: sdd1 sdd2 sdd3 sdd4 sdd5 sdd6 sdd7 sdd8 sdd9 sdd10 sdd11 sdd12 sdd13 sdd14 sdd15 sdd16 sdd17 sdd18 sdd19 sdd20 sdd21 sdd22 sdd23 sdd24 sdd25 sdd26 sdd27 sdd28 sdd29 sdd30 sdd31 sdd32 sdd33 sdd34 sdd35 sdd36 sdd37 sdd38 sdd39 sdd40 sdd41 sdd42 sdd43 sdd44 sdd45 sdd46 sdd47 [ 394.995553] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI disk

[14:20] <@Fuses> well, looks like unbrick mode.

[14:20] <@Fuses> Did I ask how in a hell you did get m8 into that mode?

[14:24] <spark__> ruu and my sense jsut stopped loading booted straight into recovery

[14:24] <spark__> then when i tried to restart it int boot

[14:26] <@Fuses> hmm ok, next thing:

[14:26] <@Fuses> on your linux box

[14:27] <@Fuses> sudo dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=p1.img

[14:27] <@Fuses> sudo dd if=/dev/sdc2 of=p2.img

[14:27] <@Fuses> (or /dev/sdd)

[14:27] <@Fuses> does those work

[14:27] <spark__> yep

[14:27] <spark__> it says copied

[14:28] <@Fuses> ok, run those to the sdd20

[14:28] <@Fuses> so 20 different .img files

[14:28] <spark__> so keep repeating?

[14:28] <@Fuses> no

[14:28] <@Fuses> 1) sudo dd if=/dev/sdc1

[14:29] <@Fuses> 2) sudo dd if=/dev/sdc2.....

[14:29] <@Fuses> 3) sudo dd if=/dev/sdc3.....

[14:29] <@Fuses> ...

[14:29] <@Fuses> 20) sudo dd if=/dev/sdc20...

[14:29] <@Fuses> (and always of=p1.img p2.img p3.img etc)

[14:29] <@Fuses> like on

[14:29] <@Fuses> sudo dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=p1.img

[14:30] <@Fuses> but 1 changes to 2 and to 3 and to 4...... and to 20

[14:34] <spark__> done

[14:34] <@Fuses> ok good, then put those into zip and upload somewhere where I can download that

[14:35] <spark__> where are they located?

[14:35] <spark__> nvrmind found em

[14:35] <@Fuses> ok

[14:39] <spark__> (sent files to him)

[14:40] <@Fuses> ok, sec

[15:00] <@Fuses> ok, dd partition 24 also

[15:00] <spark__> k

[15:01] <spark__> (sent file to him)

[15:02] <@Fuses> ok, first: you need to find RUU or OTA with version 4.25.651.18

[15:03] <@Fuses> exactly that version

[15:03] <@Fuses> and then

[15:03] <@Fuses> your p8 is broken so, you can fix it by

[15:03] <@Fuses> extracting rpm.img from OTA or RUU

[15:03] <@Fuses> then dd rpm.img using command

[15:03] <@Fuses> dd if=rpm.img of=/dev/sdc8

[15:04] <@Fuses> but, there is a problem

[15:04] <@Fuses> other bootloaders LOOKS like they are ok

[15:04] <@Fuses> but I can't be 100% that they are

[15:05] <@Fuses> so, if you fix rpm and some other bl is busted and you try to reboot, you might not get into that mode again

[15:05] <@Fuses> but first, find that RUU or OTA

[15:05] <spark__> my phone is sprint so im guessing i get that one?

[15:06] <spark__> im donwnloading it

[15:07] <@Fuses> yeah, version must be exactly that because bootloader must be from same build

[15:08] <spark__> 0P6BIMG_Sprint_HTC_One_M8_4.25.651.18_RUU.zip

[15:08] <spark__> downloading that currently

[15:09] <@Fuses> k

[15:10] <@Fuses> I need to go for few hours, but that rpm.img should fix your phone

[15:10] <@Fuses> but I can't be 100% sure that rpm is only bootloader what is busted

[15:10] <@Fuses> but brb

[15:12] <spark__> alright thanks for your help
