[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Clockwork Mod recovery never officially supported this device. There were some unofficial versions that worked decently (and some folks really liked it), but stopped being updated around 2 years ago, so do not properly support any remotely current firmware versions. Therefore, errors are expected. And if there is an error trying to restore your backup, it's probably not possible to fix that (restore that backup).

My recommendation would be to flash TWRP recovery, then you can install the stock TWRP back from the following thread.

https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Otherwise, if your version has RUU (they are specific to your version CID, MID) you can use that to go back to stock, as already discussed.

Also bear in mind that restoring to stock with either method will wipe your data. So plan accordingly (backup data to an off-phone location) before doing either method, if you want to keep anything.

If you need specific guidance for your M8 version, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Tnx i just flash twrp an hour ago with adb commends ant the end i got finished in log but when i try to get in to the recovery it just again come to bootloader and nothing happen

I don't know what can i do please help me
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
fastboot erase cache, and try to install TWRP again.

Also, TWRP is typically installed with fastboot, not adb. Fastboot and adb are related, but not the same thing. And confusing the two can cause problems. So make sure you are doing it properly. Cut and paste your command prompt command and outputs, if you can, so we can verify.

What TWRP version did you try? Proper TWRP version depends on your current firmware version (as mentioned in the guide I linked). So we really need for your to do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

It is contained in the output of the command: fastboot getvar all

Do the fastboot command, post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

I've already asked for this twice (this is 3 times now) and I don't like repeating myself. Please take the time to read and fully understand what I've posted (or anyone else trying to help you) before you make your own posts.

Asking for this to me implies that you don't know how to do it. Yet before you said you did it, supposedly successfully.

Describe step by step (and also ideally, cut and paste your command prompt) how you tried to install TWRP.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #f_eyes:
I did it but because it didn't work i this by my self maybe it should have another way because of that i ask

And for your repeating im thanks full but im not native English guy and some of your texts are hard for me to understand
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you actually tell us what you did (describe each step, exact commands, file names, as much detail as possible) then we can tell you if it is right or not.

If you don't tell us what you did, we can't tell if it is right or not. For instance, maybe you did it right, but just not the right TWRP version.

If there is something you don't understand, ask questions. Ignoring multiple requests for information is not going to help us help you. Your English is fine. I've helped folks with worse English than yours.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That is strange, the command looks correct.

What happens if you type: fastboot getvar all

Note that the output includes your IMEI and serial number, which are personal data. So if you do another screenshot photo, and it includes the full getvar output, be sure to hide your IMEI and serial number.

Alternately, you can copy and paste you command post text by right mouse click in the command prompt window, select "Mark", then drag the mouse to highlight the desired area, then Ctrl+C to copy.

Then post in a reply (Ctrtl+V to paste) and you can just delete the IMEI and serial number lines.

I did copy paste but it didn't work too is there any thing else or another way which i can use
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It did work (it shows it flashed). But it's not booting into recovery for some reason.

As I said before, try:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-m8.img

See if you can boot recovery. If not, you may have the wrong TWRP version for your firmware. So I still need your getvar data to see what your firmware version number is.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

You're just not doing it right (cut/paste). Try again, it's a bit tricky.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
On the bootloader screen, what does it say for OS number?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #f_eyes:
did you mean this?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, I mean that. The fact the OS number is blank means at some point you likely flashed an obsolete version of TWRP (known bug that it blanks out OS number).

I can figure out your version number from other details in getvar, if you post that data (again, remember to delete IMEI and serial number before posting.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #f_eyes:
What do you mean by getvar? Where is this
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You got to be joking me. I asked for this back on previous Post #20 (with pretty detailed instructions on how to do it, and cut and paste the output), and additionally on posts #14, #12, and #10.

This is the basic info I keep asking for, that you never give. If you don't provide this info immediately, I will not help you any longer. This isn't difficult to understand or do, and I'm getting very frustrated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #f_eyes:
Im not kidding

If you ask i provide the information before
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #f_eyes:
here you are
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Your statement is false, and a failure of common sense.

If you don't understand what I'm asking for, how can you know if you provided it before?

You

didn't

provide the data. That is fact.

Take a few minutes to actually look back at Post #20 of this thread. Follow the instructions, and post the output I've asked for. You can either cut and paste (which you seemed to be having trouble with - it's not hard), or take a photo (which I know you can do). But if you take a photo, you'll need to use something like the Windows Snipping Tool to edit it and block out IMEI and serial number.

The getvar data will look something like this (example):

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.29.214500021.12G

Try downloading TWRP 2.8.7 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/

Also available on the TWRP backup thread which the link was provided to you originally: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Then (yes again): fastboot erase cache

Then try to fastboot flash TWRP 2.8.7 using similar command as before (but of course with the correct file name inserted).

See if that help you boot into TWRP.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If that still doesn't work, you may try to flash the firmware, and hopefully that would fix whatever is going on with the recovery partition.

flash fw_6.12.710.4 from the following post, following the instructions at the bottom of that post:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5

You will need to relock the bootloader as indicated in the instructions, in order to flash the firmware.

If that works, unlock bootloader again, and try again to flash TWRP 3.0 or 3.1.

If it does work, flash the TWRP backup 6.12.710.4 from post #3 of the collection: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60211240&postcount=3

Using the instruction in Post #1 of the collection: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Only need to do up to step 9 (don't need to flash stock recovery) and you will be on the stock ROM again, but still have TWRP installed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #f_eyes:
Man it works and i did it thanks a lot

Another question can i bring back an backup which backuped with another recovery(clock world mod)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I seem to vaguely remember TWRP adding support for CWM created backup. Or maybe I'm not remembering correctly (I don't see any options to do so - and I can't find anything by Google search)? Otherwise, TWRP and CWM are not compatible or interchangeable, so CWM backups can't be restored with TWRP or vice versa.

Are you talking about restoring the backup you mentioned earlier, that gave you an error message? If so, that backup is broken. It happens from time to time, and I don't think there is much that can be done to restore that backup.

Unless you are trying to retrieve user data, I don't see the point. The thread which has you have been referred to several times now, has a working TWRP backup (stock ROM) for your version. Restore the stock backup 6.12.710.4 from that thread, and be done with it.

Post the results of: fastboot getvar all

And I will take a look (again delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

But basically, if the CID and MID are the same, and the OS number is 6.xx something, I think it will work for sure.

Even if it's different, it might work, but I'd need to see how different exactly.

But is the phone already bootloader unlocked. If not, I'm not sure you mom is going to be crazy about doing so (as I think it wipes the phone).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Your mom's CID is different. Using a TWRP backup from her phone might work, but no guarantees.

Honestly, by the time you go through this, you could have just downloaded the exact backup you need from the collection. Unless you connection is all that slow, or you get charged by the GB/MB (or have some kind of cap)?

Although it shouldn't hurt anything to try (a backup from your mom's phone) as long as you are willing to put forth the effort.

Also, I think I made a mistake trying to determine your OS number from the clues in getvar (it takes some detective work, since OS number "version-main" is blank). You actually may want to restore a Lollipop backup, in order to match the firmware currently installed:

4.20.710.5

4.20.710.7

4.20.710.9

I'd probably suggest the earlier build (4.20.710.5) but it's a bit of a guess, as the exact one can't be determined from the info we have available. But the differences in the builds above will be minimal.

Or you can still try the alternate method I stated previously in Post #34, which is to flash the firmware 6.12.710.4, then restore the TWRP backup 6.12.710.4.

Not only will this guarantee the firmware matches the ROM/backup (without any guesswork), but will also put your phone on stock Marshmallow.

Post to that thread which file is missing. ckpv5 is really good about uploading it again, as soon as he can.

Also, the file sharing site Mega is blocked in some countries. If that is your case, it's not really his fault.

You may also want to post your getvar info (yours, not your mom's) when you ask, so ckpv5 can help verify which version number is best to try. That guy definitely knows some things, that I don't (or may have missed). Feel free to refer/link back to this thread when you post.

Stop trying to use Philz. It's outdated, an is likely to cause problems. Why are you even doing that, after going through all that trouble to flash TWRP???

Vpn for download absolutely
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It depends on whether you want to:

1) Restore stock Lollipop ROM and stay on that

2) Restore stock Lollipop ROM, and stock recovery, and try to OTA to Marshmallow

3) Flash Marshmallow firmware, then stock MM ROM
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #f_eyes:
Absolutely i want MM version of Android

And number 3 but i think number 2 also do the same for me
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Method 2 would do the same, in theory. But it would be more downloads, the LP backup, then the OTA update to MM. And that is assuming there are no regional restrictions preventing the OTA from going through.

Method #3 is a more "surefire" way of going right to MM. But it does have some extra steps of relocking/unlocking bootloader, as well as flashing firmware (which is not flashed with recovery, but rather it needs to be flashed in fastboot RUU mode).

I would suggest Method #3, but it's a judgment call. For this method, you will need to:

1) Move or copy any personal files you want to keep - the phone

will

be wiped!

2) Relock the bootloader, and flash the firmware fw_6.12.710.4 using the download on the following link (this one is pretty small, 52 MB), and using the instructions near the bottom of the post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5

3) Unlock the bootloader again (I assume you did it originally) either using your previous unlock bin code; or get a new one by going through the HTCDev.com process again

4) Re-install TWRP 3.1 or 3.0 (or alternately 2.8.7 should be fine) using fastboot: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/. This needs to be done since firmware (Step 2) replaced TWRP with stock recovery. TWRP is needed for the next steps.

5) Download the stock TWRP backup 6.12.710.4 from here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60211240&postcount=3. This is the big download (1.4 GB)

6) Restore the stock backup, using instruction steps 4-9 of the first post: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

This process (unzipping the stock backup, and putting it in the right place) often confuses folks. So feel free to come back to this thread if you have specific questions.

7) Reboot (may take several minutes as the new ROM is setup) and you should be on stock MM.

This process is a bit intimidating and complicated, I know. Read through it, make sure you understand the process. Feel free to ask specific questions, as I know the above can be confusing. Understand the steps, and follow them precisely, and it will all work out fine.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That is correct. When you flash the Marshmallow firmware (hboot, radio, etc. - this is done for maximum compatibility with MM ROMs) in Step 2, this firmware package also contains the stock recovery, which will over-write the TWRP you have installed now. Therefore, TWRP will no longer be on the phone after you flash the firmware in Step 2.

So the idea of steps 3 and 4, is to get TWRP back on the phone. TWRP is needed in order to restore a stock TWRP backup (ROM).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I went home and went to bed. Folks have a tendency to need to do that from time to time.

You understand this isn't a 24 hour paid support service, right? Just folks taking their own free time to help others, expecting nothing in return but some gratitude.

If you're going to want free help, you're going to have to be patient sometimes. Personally, I'm usually only online at work (just killing time, really) which is Mon-Thurs during US (Eastern standard time) working hours (around 8am to 4pm), sometimes a few hours on Friday, and almost never on the weekends. So only expect help during those times. And folks get busy with real life, so there is no guarantee I'll always be able to help.

What firmware

number

exactly? And do not say "the one you told me to flash", give the exact number! When posting, you should

always

be specific as to the exact file (file name or version number) of what you flashed. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this, and I shouldn't have to repeat myself constantly.

Otherwise, I can't be sure you actually flashed what I directed you to; as you've already gone off track trying to download other files (not suggest by me), confused the CID, etc.

In this case, the error message states that you flashed the wrong firmware number (not intended for your CID).
