Hi,
I am not new to rooting and flashing but I seem to have jammed.
I can flash custom recoveries(used both CWM and TWRP) no bother but I cannot flash rom.
I have tried pushing and side loading. TWRP just says failed.
CWM says cannot open update.zip from tmp (bad)
I am unlocked.
I am S-ON so I don't know a way around that atm without a ROM. I have tried reinstalling stock but failed.
HTC one M8 UK EE network.
Would love to fix this please.
I'm a novice, this is my first android phone but I believe you have to be s-off to flash ROMs. I'm on EE too, what I done was paid for Sunshine, about £14 I think, that unlocked the bootloader and s-off. I can flash ROMs no issues.

You don't need to be s-off to flash a custom rom.. just a unlocked bootloader.
Put the rom on your internal sdcard not external sdcard and try again.

I thought the same with S status but I didn't have s-off when i flashed my first rom. It was only when I flashed Viper that i ran into this issue.

I have tried repeatedly, all I get is failed.
Right now I have flashed TWRP.
I am going to try flashing Viper once again and should that fail, try HD revolution.
I am also now using Hasson2000 AIO toolkit on my pc incase I was going wrong with shell.

As I would, normally.
Toolkits cause more issues than they solve.
Try:
fastboot erase cache
Then flash recovery again, and see if that helps.
Also, do you get the phone model number as a response when you type both:
adb devices
fastboot devices
finally fixed it. Now enjoying Venom.
Thanks for your suggestions

Not entirely sure how i fixed it but I'll list what I did.
Usually I work from a mac but decided to start afresh on my desktop.
I downloaded venom for m8
reflashed TWRP recovery.
Booted to recovery.
wiped cache and such.
Then adb side loaded the rom.
Some reason it worked. I have done this a good few times previously and with various rooms, not just venom.
I was using the AIO toolkit to side load this rather than the ADB cmd prompt.
Thanks for posting the steps that worked for you.
Like you said, hard to say what fixed it. Perhaps getting away from the toolkit, maybe just re-flashing recovery (even though you had done so previously) or wiping cache.
If moving a ROM to the device form the PC, I prefer adb push to adb sideload. Sideload seems to fail sometimes where push is fine. Push is some more steps (booting recovery and a few taps there to flash the ROM) but it seems more reliable. Although if it worked, it worked!

What are the next steps in rooting? Follow the usual using Revolutionary? Install CWM manually?
Would appreciate your help folks!
Thanks
Agreed! With the bootlaoder now unlocked, what are the steps to rooting this beast? Do we still need to downgrade? Please pardon my noobness.
You wouldn't need to downgrade, I do know that. But as far as the rest, Idk. I did mine with revolutionary a while back before the 2.3.4 update, so I've been kicking ever since.

I would see if you can install superuser from the market.
EDIT: I would also see if you can install CWM and ROM manager. If all those install ok you should be able to load a custom ROM.

You do not have to downgrade if you unlocked. You should be able to install a new recovery image like Clockwork.

Flashed several roms, can't get passed it.

When you flash a custom ROM from CWM on an unlocked HBOOT, you then need to manually extract the boot.img from the custom ROM zip file and manually flash it in Fastboot mode using the command
Fastboot flash boot [path to the boot.img file]
This has been documented multiple times in this forum.

Yes in your case you will need to relock the bootloader in order to flash the RUU/PG32IMG.zip file. You cannot flash a RUU on an unlocked bootloader.
I'm guessing you guys have something other than .98 hboot? I'll find out soon when my wifes replacement comes in but I was not intending to use the HTC unlocker if I didn't have to. I was planning to try the tool attn1 has posted in the dev section unless the hboot changed with the ota.

Good to hear kinda thought it was. I'll be using the method attn1 has posted then. I don't trust the unlock method through HTC for one main reason which is this... Unlocking bootloader and rooting voids warranty as we all know. So what happens when HTC knows your bootloader was unlocked because you used their tool and they have the serial number?

All that it does is get stuck at the HTC screen.
Things that I have tried.
New Ruus
PG32IMG
The phone is recognized in fastboot,
ADB does not recognize the phone.
I have been going through the forum, and websites for the last 4 hours.
Factory Reset reboots the phone and gives me a security warning.
Recovery does the same.
I also get the USB Not recognized error once the phone comes on. I have installed the HTC drivers, I have also installed HTC Sync and have removed it.
Am I stressing and overlooking something simple? Or, do I need to take this phone out back and lay it to rest.
Thank you in advance

I don't own this phone but how did this happen? I'm assuming your rooted and unlocked if you got s recovery and stuff. And if your recovery works.. just Mount your SD card and transfer a ROM from your PC and flash one.. make sure you flash the kernel too. That or run the ruu

I was given this phone because because it is stuck in the bootloop. Phones come with their own recovery, this isn't a custom recovery. I have tried to run ruus, the error I get is Main version is older. I have also downloaded official stock roms with no luck.
When I hit recovery, the phone reboots back to the bootloader, the recovery never comes up.

Ohh so someone messed it up and just gave it to you for free? Or for you to repair? Either way I don't follow the droid inc2 but maybe im sure its rooted if its in a boot loop so try going into fast boot and go into cmd prompt and try to install a recovery. Look up how to install a recovery through CmD Prompt on the Pc. On my phone can't explain all of it. And then just transfer over a ROM probably cm9 and follow the instructions
Unless you want to go back to stock? Not sure if you know about ROMs and kernels?

Thats exactly what happened, it was given to me to me in this condition, and if I can fix it I will get paid for doing so.
Yes, I am familiar with roms, and kernels, I currently use an Evo 4g with Swagged out Stock X 2.0.9.8
Ive also rooted and flash cm7 on plenty of phones, I even have cm7 on my HP Touchpad.
I can't for the life of me figure this out. It has me highly intrigued. I am known for stressing out and overlooking minor small steps, so I wanted get some input from the community.
I currently have fastboot open, I am not entirely familiar with the Incredible 2, but normal case S-on = none rooted from my experience.
it was devunlocked then relocked i believe, from the error message i believe you are not flashing the right ruu, you are trying to flash an older one, you need the newest one, it was released a few months ago if i recall correctly and it was no big update but thats the one you need, search for it and try it it should work. if you are s on you cant flash a older ruu than whats already on it

im downloading the new ruu but like jmz i also wanted the OTA.
Was running the Claws & went back to my DD (JMZ's deodexed stock) before the upgrade. It overwrote the recovery, so we need to see if the TWRP Recovery will work with 4.1.2 before we can get root again....It updated the radio, but kept it S-off & the CID stayed in modded form.

Easiest way is just download ruu from HTC or my site and flash it. Ensure your internal sdcard is backed up and external is removed.

Usually to go back to stock, boot relock is needed. I'm unlocked, s-off and supercid. Do I have to undo those? I don't mind using full stock, even without root.

unfortuantly the only way to keep everything is the OTA. If you flash my rooted JB rom, it most likely will cause a lot of issues.

I'm writing this short little post to give an idea of a good starting point for the HTC One as it stands right now. There are a lot of threads and they get out-of-date quickly (just as this one will). I just picked-up my new HTC One on Tuesday of last week from a Verizon store. This just gives a fresh idea of what can be done to get started on it.
Obviously you're running these instructions at your own risk. I'm not responsible for you bricking or otherwise damaging your phone. Doing these things may (will) void your warranty and may prevent you from being able to return your phone. Run these things at your own risk.
AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE: When you get your phone out-of-the-box, it's probably going to offer you an OTA update. I recommend that you do not accept an OTAs as this usually makes this process even harder than it has to be. Verizon hates having us enjoy our devices!
First, let me describe my goals here:
Unlock the bootloader and obtain S-OFF
Install a custom recovery (CWM)
Install a "cleaned-up" stock ROM (debloated but still a stock experience)
Get wireless tether working without jumping through tons of hoops.
I'll go through the list and just describe what I did:
Unlock the bootloader and obtain S-OFF
This was fairly straightforward. Rumrunner has an excellent package that does this very easily. I checked my phone's ROM version and saw that I was running 1.10.605.15. I grabbed the Rumrunner package from here for that level.
In looking over the requirements for Rumrunner, it wanted 32-bit Linux and I run 64-bit. The easiest way to solve this problem for me was to just boot to a Xubuntu 12.10 32-bit ISO that I had on my system. If you have it burned, just boot to it. If you don't (like me), use grub2 (if you have it) and boot the ISO directly. Either way, get yourself into a live environment.
Once the ISO was booted, I got it on the network and installed adb and fastboot from the Ubuntu repositories (after I did apt-get update, of course). Connect the phone via USB and enable USB debugging:
Go to Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More
Tap the Build number field 7 times
Back up to the Settings screen again and you'll now see Developer options
Enable USB Debugging under the developer options
Verify that you can see the device on your system using adb (this should result in a device being listed by serial number):
Code:
sudo adb devices
Follow these instructions for executing Rumrunner. It worked perfectly as described. Once complete, the phone was unlocked and S-OFF with a stock ROM.
Keep the live environment up as it will just make life easier to do the next steps.
Install a custom recovery (CWM)
I pretty much always use CWM if I can. I saw that there were no issues with doing that on this phone (like there are on other phones like the Rezound). I grabbed version 6.0.4.7 of CWM (non-touch) for the HTC One from here. If I recall correctly, the device is booted back into the stock ROM at this point. Make sure your device is still connected USB and has USB debugging enabled.
Reboot into the bootloader from the command prompt:
Code:
sudo adb reboot bootloader
Once the phone comes up, it should be at the Fastboot screen (it should actually show Fastboot USB). Verify that you can see your phone with fastboot (should get your device serial number again):
Code:
sudo fastboot devices
Now you can flash CWM recovery using this command from the directory where you stored the CWM file you downloaded (such as the one I provided a link to):
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-m7vzw.img
After the flash is successful, reboot back into the bootloader:
Code:
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can choose BOOTLOADER and then RECOVERY to get access to CWM. If you really want to, you can take a backup of the stock ROM at this point. I did not because I thought it was a waste of space. I just booted back into the stock ROM and disabled USB debugging so I could stick a real ROM on the system.
Install a "cleaned-up" stock ROM (debloated but still a stock experience)
I really wanted to give this HTC Sense 5.0 a run. I've used Sense before and it wasn't awful. This seemed less annoying than previous versions (plus, there are some nice camera features which are important to me). For that reason, I selected the stock 2.10.605.1 rooted, deodexed, debloated ROM from this thread. I also opted to do the firmware upgrade at the same time, so I grabbed the firmware for the 2.10.605.1 as well.
The instructions in this thread are easy to follow so just use those. Just a note though: Flash the firmware and ROM at the same time if you're going to do firmware at all. Instructions are in the second post on that thread.
Once the ROM was up, I did my typical setup of accounts and such. The last thing I needed was Wireless Tether support.
Get wireless tether working without jumping through tons of hoops.
I don't particularly care how I get wireless tethering (infrastructure mode) as long as it works on my phone reliably. I first tried the stock tethering as this sometimes works because the authors of "stock" ROMs sneak hacks into their ROMs. It did not work. I then tried messing around with the WiFi Tether TrevE Mod that I saw recommend a few times but this didn't pan out on the 2.10.605.1 ROM (I temporarily went to 1.10.605.15 and it worked; I went back to 2.10.605.1 when someone recommended the solution below):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576548
I flashed this package onto my system and, without a problem, built-in wireless tether started working. I've seen no problems.
Getting my one today. I guess I will give this a go tonight. Thanks. Anything else to look for? Thanks.

Rumrunner worked perfectly fine for me on Ubuntu 12.1 64 bit both times I ran it. I would try it first before downloading s 32 bit distro if 64 bit is already installed.

I have 2.10.605.1 on this phone out of the box and dont see a Rumrunner for it. Does that mean I am just going to have to sit tight and wait?

may not have time to do this today. Can I just keep pushing the ota off? I delayed it already but will it prompt me before trying to install?

Yeah just keep delaying it. If you take it you're screwed. 4.4.2 can't be unlocked and rooted at the moment.

thanks. Looks like firewater uses some sort of temp root method? I will look into it. Firewater does s-off and root, correct?
And unlocks bootloader?

It does unlock and s off. You will have to get a recovery and flash super user in recovery but that isn't until after you're unlocked and s off.

So just flash TWRP or Clockwork, then go back in and flash super user. Thank you.

Hello:
I just gained S-OFF on stock 4.3 out of the box.
If I want to go to Stock/Rooted I am guessing I should take the OTA, then Clockwork or TWRP and SSU? Thanks.

Do not take the ota. Just flash the firmware in Santod's stock ROM thread and then flash the stock ROM from the ota.

I was already S-Off and actually good to go. Took the OTA, flashed SuperSU after Clockwork and I am banging. Root/Soff, nailed it. Thank you for your help.

The only reason I don't suggest taking ota is because sometimes the results can be less than desired.

It works great. It took some time because I had to find Win7 32 bit with direct internet connection (I'm on Win8 64 bit) but at the end it is S-OFF.
Thank you!
Now I have another problem. After S-OFF with this method I can not start Bluetooth. Tried with wiping data (factory reset) but no luck. It would be nice to have radio to download. Maybe that would help my situation.
For now I will try with different ROM.

you don't have to reflash the radio, just reflash a new rom (of course clean install)
Try this one : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2GviR_-GCNSVFRzbmdzN1lwdFE/edit?pli=1
i'm using it and everything is running well
Thanks. Just flashed same ROM over (dirty flash) and now it is OK.
Is that link for full stock?
Warning to everyone. Don't flash CM10 (unless you want to stay with it) because you want be able to get back to stock. I tried that and ended up with mixed version that FC. Luckily I had backup before all this and that helped.
Yes but deodexed, and you're right, we can't go back to stock factory untill htc release the rom firmware separately like samsung etc

A backup is always recommended anyway so you can flash whatever you want

Do I need S-OFF for custom ROM? After unlocking the bootloader I flashed stock rooted rom with custom twrp and now when phone starts it's in airplane mode and asks me to input decryption key. Wtf is that? I've never seen that on my other phones happen. Does S-OFF help here?
Thanks in advance.

Actually you don't really need s-off for cus-rom, except you want to tweak the device itself. For the problem recovery, I suggest to using cwm from developer '4m8' thread

I tried it on Windows 7 - It said that my device isnt't rooted (It is 100%) or I flashed unsupportable rom. I have flashed this one:
