[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
So I recently got a European M8 and thought I would root it which turned out to be a bad idea. To start off with, it didn't root properly anyway so i carried on using it. Today I wanted to recover it back to stock (When I got it out of the box) I did a command using fastboot which was along the lines of fastboot boot boot.img but now my HTC will launch the screen displaying that it is a build for development purposes only and then it goes to a black screen but still turned on. It seems to me like there is no Operating System for the phone to boot from.

PLEASE HELP ME

Issue Solved - 22/01/16
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Hard to help, if we don't know exactly what you did. Try to explain in detail (or as best you can) the exact steps (including file names, version numbers, etc.) of what you performed.

Again, hard to tell what the issue is, if we don't know

exactly

what you did.

Are you sure you didn't do fastboot

flash

? I don't think you would do anything permanent with the command fastboot

boot

.

What exactly were you trying to boot/flash with this command? What was the file name, where did you get it from, and what was the exact intent?

Did you get this idea from a thread or guide?

If you hold power + vol up for a long time (30 seconds or more) does the phone reboot? Then what, black screen again?

Do Power + vol up again. The moment the screen goes dark (but

before

the HTC logo screen with the red text warning) let go of those buttons, and only hold power down; and don't let go until you see the bootloader screen. If this fails, try again, you probably just got the timing wrong (started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early).

Once in bootloader, select fastboot (if not in that mode already) using vol keys, then confirm with power button. Connect to computer and do: fastboot getvar all

Post the getvar output (delete IMEI and serial numbers before you post).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Again, i am really sorry but i do not understand what i did. It asked me to flash the ROM Update Utility and then use fastboot boot boot.img which then screwed it up and yes when i boot up and reboot it just goes to a black screen.

Here is the info:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I seriously doubt that you can't remember

any of the steps

you did to try to root it.

Just sounds like you are too lazy to type. So why should I put forth more effort than you; when you are the one that wants help?

Describe as best you can, that is all I ask.

Do you have a file in your fastboot folder (wherever fastboot.exe is located) what is actually named boot.img?

And you really can't remember if you got this idea from a thread? You had to come up with it somehow.

What were you even trying to do here? What did you think the command would do?

Again, either you are just being lazy, evasive, or got hit on the head to cause amnesia; if you can't answer the questions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
So I was looking for tutorials on how to root it and I cam across a program (cannot remember the name) which was designed to root it with a few clicks of buttons ect. I already new how to unlock the boot-loader because I owned a HTC desire 510. I went back onto my phone it has twrp installed but I use root checker and it says that proper root access is not granted and I have tried to use SuperSU but I got the binary issue so I gave up. It was working fine but today I decided I wanted to revert it back to stock again but did something which completely messed it up.

Also, i decided i wanted to restore it because if it broke and i needed it to be repaired it would void my warranty. I was thinking when i reset the RUU it would make it stock again but it did not.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Now, that's more like it!

An Android app, or PC program?

Either way, one-click type root apps don't work on HTC devices. PC based toolkits worked at one time, but were never updated to support the recent software builds (outdated TWRP versions fail on Lollipop, and outdated SuperSU versions fail).

What did you think you were doing with the fastboot command (fastboot boot boot.img)?

One thing I can say for sure: Don't try mods, fastboot commands, etc. unless you know

exactly

what you are doing (such as following reputable instructions to the letter). The command you did just isn't right. You either got it from a bad source, or you decided to improvise or experiment (really bad idea). You made the issue much worse than it was to begin with (probably just needed to flash the updated SuperSU zip, maybe also update TWRP).

You also didn't answer the question:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
It was a computer application and i thought the command would reboot it with a different kernal/firmware thing. But yeah i followed the instructions like an idiot and messed up my phone and no i don't anymore because i deleted it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Fastboot boot means you are trying to remote boot something without flashing it. A boot.img isn't bootable. I've only seen this done with recovery.img

I think you meant to do: fastboot flash boot boot.img

The one different word makes a huge difference. The action is to

flash

, not boot. The "boot" is the location of where to flash to.

Also, even if you properly flashed boot.img, this is just the kernel, and wouldn't change much. To return to stock, you want to flash a full ROM. And kernel, ROM and firmware are not interchangeable terms, so don't for a second think they are.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Ok. Is it possible though to revert it back to stock and if yes, do you think you can help me?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Do the fastboot command: fastboot oem lock. Then download the 4.16.401.10 RUU from the following thread, and run it from PC: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

Your alternative is to restore the proper stock TWRP backup. While the relevant files are on that same link, you'll find clearer instruction on the following thread: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
It now says Relocked then underneath security warning. Is that good?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The security warning just means you altered something in the stock software (root, kernel, etc.). It doesn't matter, as the RUU will write all partitions to factory condition.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Will i have to re unlock the boot-loader for the RUU.exe to work?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
NO. Its required to be LOCKED or RELOCKED to run RUU.

Its the only reason I told you to relock it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Ok because i had the program running all day with it re-locked but it didn't do anything so i am back to square one
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What does your PC screen say? Is the RUU stuck sending?

You probably just need to disconnect the phone and start again. RUU just gets stuck sometimes. It shouldn't take any more than 5 or 10 minutes.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Yeah it says updating 0 out of 7 sending ........................
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It should be safe to just disconnect the phone and start over with the RUU again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
This is what comes up
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
It send that 1 had been sent then it said error
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Please may you help because the RUU.exe clearly isn't working!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Was an error number given (such as ERROR 155)?

You may need to try another PC. Win7 and USB 2.0 (versus USB 3.0) are your best bet.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I will try another pc and if it doesn't work am i then screwed?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thewh0:
1. Install TWRP

2. Download the correct nandroid backup (there is a thread here with almost all backups, you will just have to find the correct version.)

3. If the PC recognizes the phone, add the files to the phone's internal storage, if not, add it to an SD Card.

4. Boot in your recovery (TWRP) and restore the backup you just downloaded.

5. Download the correct stock recovery and flash it to your phone.

I suggest downloading the lollipop version because all the files are already shared and can be easily found here.

Then proceed to updating to marshmallow via OTA and then root with SuperSU version 2.66

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

EDITED: I just remembered, you can use a tool called "WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit" (search it here on the forum).

You can easily install TWRP with that tool (and also unlock bootloader).

To restore the recovery to stock, you can use the "One M8 all in one kit" (also search the forum here).

Just follow the steps above and with the help with these tools I believe you can restore your phone.

If you are comfortable to use the cmd - adb shell, you can of course use that instead of the tools :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Its a problem with the PC, not the phone. It will probably work, given you have access to a PC that plays well with the RUU.

You are sure the phone is in bootloader, with fastboot selected, when you run the RUU?

I also gave you another option back on Post #9, but it may be a bit more complicated for you to follow.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

I already suggested this as an option, with links to the collections and instructions (post #10)

Also, if the OP want to go this route at this point, they will have to unlock the bootloader again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
The bootloader i have unlocked and installed TWRP and phone storage can be accessed within in recovery mode. Where do i put the installed files?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Within Computer\HTC One_M8\Internal Storage There is a TWRP folder but no TWRP backups folder inside of it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thewh0:
If you have downloaded the correct nandroid backup for your CID which I saw that is HTC__001 from the earlier photo you shared, then you have to copy it to the phone's storage so you can access the backup from TWRP.

If you haven't downloaded your nandroid backup you can do it from the thread that was linked in post #10

and then follow the steps in this thread that was also linked in post 10 http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

If you follow the instructions there, your phone should be up and running.

Also, as always, make sure it is charged at least 50% before restoring the backup.

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

As it says in the thread that was linked:

5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.

After you do that, you will have a folder like it says in the tutorial.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
It won't let me copy files over to the storage
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thewh0:
On your computer, install your HTC drivers (installing HTC Sync Manager will install the drivers)

After that your phone should appear as an external device on your computer.

Copy the files from your computer to the phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Ok thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Go into TWRP, select Backup, then just do a "dummy" backup selecting boot.img to be backed up. This will cause TWRP to make the required folders (TWRP/BACKUPS/phone's serial number).

Then extract the stock nandroid files, and put the files into the folder that was created in the last step.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
So i did what you guys said in post #9 & #10 but when i go to swipe to flash i do it but it then it fails because there is no md5 file but i checked the download and they're definitely there.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
As shown in the attached file, there is clearly more than one md5 file in there
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Don't read only #9 & #10 .. read all 14 steps.

There is no swipe to flash ... I guess you tried to install the backup zip instead of restoring the extracted and copied backup contents.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Ok
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I have done what you suggested and got it working again. Thank you so much but I wanted it to go back to stock so I could install Marshmallow but the software is 4.16.401.13 and the android version is 5.01 and when I check for system updates it says that the software is all up to date. Is this because I still have the custom recovery installed or is it another issue?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not sure why you don't have the update yet. There are a lot of phones with the WWE CIDs, so maybe it just hasn't rolled out to you yet?

Stock recovery is needed to

install

the OTA. But this doesn't affect whether you get the update notification or not, it just stops the installation (after the update notification and download).

Process for returning to stock recovery is in the same tutorial by ckpv5, step 11.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thewh0:
The update is rolling out, it might come today, it might come next week.

I got it yesterday and my friend still doesn't have it.

Also it would be good to install the stock recovery so you can immediately update when it reaches you.

edit: ninja'd :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I am on the European version and it gave me the option before I screwed up my phone to get 6.0 . I am curious if I revert back to stock recovery of it will prompt me
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
I will give it a go now
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I doubt it. As I already mentioned, custom recovery doesn't prevent you from getting the update notification/prompts.

But you need to go to stock recovery to update, in any case. So you should go ahead and do so.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChiefMustardo:
Don't worry, with your help this issue has been solved and i am very thankful also all i had to do was flash the stock recovery back on and now i have been prompted
