[AT&T HTC One (M8)] kristianlauren:
Hello,

I am having trouble returning my M8 back to stock. I am following this guide: http://www.droidviews.com/restore-att-htc-one-m8-stock-firmware/

I was able to flash RUU_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_ATT_SECURITY_Cingular_US_1.58.502.1_Radio_1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2.exe without any issues, and then proceeded to unlock the bootloader successfully as well.

My issue is getting into TWRP after flashing. I issue the commands:

adb fastboot reboot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-1-m8.img

And it says that the write is successful, but when I go back to HBOOT to boot into recovery, It gets stuck with the "htc" logo and a pink text "Entering Recovery..." at the top of the screen. If I do an

adb devices

, it shows my phone and status "recovery".

I'm thinking that the recovery flash isn't sticking or maybe I have the wrong version (I believe I flashed the latest). Or maybe its entirely something else but I'm starting to run out of options. I've also tried rebooting into the bootloader after flashing recovery and just doing "fastboot reboot" and then trying to go back into recovery from a powered-off state but I still get stuck.

Here is my current fastboot Info:

***UNLOCKED***
M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-OFF
CID-CWS__001 ;;I recently flashed this from Super CID
HBOOT-3.16.0.0000
RADIO-1.16.21331931.LA11G
OpenDSP-v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311
OS-1.58.502.1

Thank you in advance for your help.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The RUU you used is

far

too old to work with the TWRP version 3.0.0.0. Mixing old/new hboot, OS versions with new recovery versions is usually a bad idea.

The fact the guide you are using is from 2014 (!) is doing you no favors. That RUU is 3 Android versions obsolete. Relock the bootloader, than run the (current latest) 4.28.502 RUU as linked in my Index thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

What is your intent in returning to stock? That guide is far too complicated for most purposes, aside from returning to HTC for warranty (for which, most M8 devices no longer have valid warranty).

For most purposes, relocking the bootloader and RUU is good enough.

Thanks for replying. I was able to successfully go back to stock for the most part. I wanted to do a factory reset to see if it would fix my camera issue (auto-focus was broken and constantly re-focusing). Anyway, it didn't immediately help, but somewhere along the lines the camera fixed itself. Thanks again!

Hi,

I am having a weird problem and that is any file that I copy on the memory card goes missing and I can not see it. Files are on the card though since checking the memory card size is giving the approximate correct used space. Is there anyone else having the similar issue? I tried even a hard reset but it didn't help. by the way I am running TouchFlo v14 for the wing.

Also is anyone know how to format a memory card, I couldn't find it anywhere.

thanks,

[Wing, P4350 General] applecarriage:
actually i lost all the pictures and music on my card a couple times. the first time i just recreated the my pictures and my music folder on my storage card and it all came back. the second time this didn't work and i ended up having to bring the microsd card to my friends dorm who had a card reader in his laptop and i used a freeware undelete utility to recover all the missing files.

this happened to me both times while reflashing the phone so from now on i've removed the microsd card while flashing the phone and i've had no problems since.
[Wing, P4350 General] eybaba:
thanks. i think this is useful information. by the way can i ask you the name of the software you used in your friends laptop?

Never mind. I think any undelete program should work...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Psychlone:
Sad story finding out that the S7 is locked down harder than anything before. I'm still running a Note 3 that I purchased on release day, so needless to say, I've been holding out for the S7 since the S6 series didn't have SD card support.

Having had quite a few Samsung flagships over the years, I've really liked them, their speed and battery life, but having no root is a dealbreaker for me.

Things like TWRP (or MultiSystem), Cerberus, Greenify, TiBu and Xposed are essential to me. Seriously, without the ability to simply back up your current ROM or even just your apps and their data, what does everyone do when they get a new phone or some stupid update ruins what they had?? :eek:

So that being said, I'm asking here if any of you are waiting it out for root before getting an S7 or if you're considering moving to another phone?

If you are thinking or have already moved to another phone, what's the best rootable phone of 2016 that has an SD card slot that is comparable to the S7?

I'm not hard to please, I just require root and an SD card slot - well, and a community of devs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] cadcamaro:
I heard there is an unlocked variant with CDMA, if not that then maybe wait it out until a root method is found.

Other options are the 5X, maybe the new G5 or the V10 if you want just root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
Unlocked variant with CDMA? Where did you hear this? This also doesn't guarantee Verizon will allow it on their network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] cadcamaro:

Sorry for some reason I thought that was the one you were interested in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
I'm so tired of people making this comment... The law passed last year clearly stated that no phone can be block from any U.S. Network if it's not stolen, not on an agreement, and has the proper radios to support the network... That's why they can't stop nexus devices, unlocked Motorola etc. Your phone will simply show up on Verizon site as "non Verizon device" and your stupid voicemail won't work. That's what google voice is for. That's why as soon as you pay for your phone, carriers have to unlock it if you request them to do so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
So you are saying a Sprint phone will work on Verizon's network then? I think not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
Did you miss the piece where I said the phone has to have the proper radios? Most sprint phones do not have the appropriate radios which support Verizon CDMA channels, therefore the phone wouldn't work. Phones like Nexus, Motorola, and other unlocked phones typically have the hardware to support all U.S carriers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
Ok so this post is completely useless in this section then. There isn't an unlocked variant of the s7 that will work with Verizon nor has there ever been a galaxy phone from another carrier that would work. So stop being a know it all and take you condescending attitude somewhere else. What is your deal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
Once again you are diverting from my original comment, which verizon has nothing to do with if a phone can be used on verzion, or "white listed" as you put it. For your information there's been Samsung models that would work on Verizon from Sprint but they wouldn't get the correct lte signals...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
First: I never used the words "white listed" anywhere in my posts.

Second: if they don't get the correct LTE signals then they basically don't work, lets not beat around the bush with here. Ultimately, I get what you are saying but it doesn't really matter. Other than to create an argument where there definitely doesn't need to be one your response really has no meaning in this particular thread. There are NO unlocked CDMA versions of this phone that will work on ANY other carrier and Verizon at the same time. /thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Psychlone:
Can anyone tell me what an equivalent HTC, Motorola or LG phone would be that is rootable?

*Must be rootable

*Must have an SD card slot

*Hopefully has dev support for custom ROMs but isn't totally necessary since with root I can use Xposed to make it look like I want

I mean seriously, Samsung isn't the only top-tier manufacturer, why are we all addicted to this anyway? It's a great phone, I'm sure - but isn't there ANY good alternative in you guy's opinion?

I might just bite the bullet and get the S7 and hope for root, but the loss of Viper4Android would be a killer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] JediDru:
As a former flashaholic I have decided as long as I am on Verizon I will have to live without root especially when I got my sony z3v. I am glad I did. Flashing and setting everything up took up so much time atleast once a day at most once a week. And heaven forbid there was an issue and I would have to restore or start over. I then got a Verizon z2 tablet again without root on lollipop. This is a great phone and a worthy upgrade from my z3v. I think the line between needing and wanting features or gimmicks is getting blured.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Psychlone:
Damnit, you're right and I know it, I'm just fighting it.

As a complete crackflasher since 2004, I've been around the block a few times - I suppose it's just habit to "require" root.

I think the hardest things about moving to a phone that has no root is no TiBU and no Viper. Seriously, how to people back up their data without TiBU? Of course I could manually back up all my apk's that didn't come from the Google Play Store, and I could manually back up all their \Android\Data folders, but that sucks. How is it in 2016 we have apps that require root and fewer and fewer phones that allow it?

Anyway, thank you for your perspective. I think I'll end up getting an S7 anyway and if it gains root someday it's a bonus!

When I try to download the language pack from within swiftkey, it downloads, but says that it can't save it. This also happens with other apps that have downloadable content within them (boot animations app, rom manager app, Zedge app, etc). Does anyone have any ideas on what would cause this.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachi91:
Not sure if tried or not.... Have you tried simply holding down Power and both volume keys to force a restart? Seems odd that it would brick the phone.

Normally when an RUU sees that your phone has a newer software it would just fail and the phone would be fine. Unless you're S-OFF in which case it would flash it anyways.

We need more details.

1. Did it successfully upgrade to 6.0 and you had no issues prior to trying to downgrade?

2. How did you try flashing it? Was it the RUU wizard on Windows, or the rom.zip via a command prompt/terminal

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
I suspect you are hardbricked (why on earth did you downgrade?) but it's possible the flash got confused somehow. Try holding down all three buttons while the phone is plugged in for at least minute. If that does nothing, leave it plugged in overnight and try it again. If it's still dead, you have a brick. Next time, be more careful about flashing random stuff you find via Google.

Downgrading can be tricky. It doesn't always work exactly right. If your phone is still dead after this, something went wrong with the flash. It can happen.

Sounds like a bad flash. Double check file sizes and md5 hashcheck to be sure the rom was complete.
