Hello All,
I've rooted and S-OFFed my HTC One M8 H/K Sprint Edition and want the OTA updates. I'm having trouble flashing a recovery with Hasoon2000's All-In-One Toolkit. I hit "flash recovery", the phone goes into the bootloader, but doesn't flash the recovery. I get the following message from the CMD:
Code:
target reported max download size of 1830711296 bytes
error: cannot load 'C:\Users\Patrick\Desktop\Patricks': No error
Then the Toolkit prompts that the recovery flashed.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions would help. Thanks in advance!

So i currently have ROM Manager v4.0.0.1 (but i havent flashed CWM yet) and ofc S-OFF and rooted, and HBOOT .85 and Stock ROM.
I tried to flash CWM v3.0.2.8 normally but i get this message in FastBoot USB mode
//------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\HTC_Ace\tools>fastboot-windows flash recovery ./recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4286 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
//------------------------------------------------------------------
so i thought i would manually flash it with a terminal.
i then found out that i didnt have flash_image, so i found a download link and put it in my /system/bin/ file, and typed
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
error scanning partitions
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
any solutions?, for the first or second problem?, i just want CWM -
::and side note, can i access the original HTC Bootloader with this installed?
Do you have ENG S-OFF? Regular S-OFF doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to flashing via fastboot.
I think I do!, I used the easy radio software thingy when I rooted, so I presume so.

Double check your CID in "System Info" in the bootloader. Does it Read CID: 11111111
there are only 4 options in the bootloader, i cannot see the "system info" option
If you cannot see "System Info" then you don't have ENG S-OFF, Just use THIS tool and you'll have it in no time.
Guys, no one tried to install recovery.img by replacing the same file in the firmware?

yo, so i did internet pass through on my phone and click 'flash ClockworkMod Recovery' in ROM Manager, and it installed v3.0.2.6.
My question is, if my phone didnt have ENG S-OFF the flash recovery that ROM Manager did; wouldnt have worked right? - its written in the last detailed process in the link you provided to me andy.
No with S-off rom manager can flash a recovery, but you can't flash via fastboot.
Hi there,
I have just tried to root my HTC one, and I am now stuck in the boot loader screen and it is showing *Tampered* at the top.
Can someone please advise me, or point in the direction of what I need to do now?
Thanks.
If it says tampered it should say unlocked right below it.... go to this site and follow the instructions to get full root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065

Once you have unlocked your bootloader then it will show you tampered.
Download a custom recovery (I prefer TWRP) and flash it via fastboot.
Then download @Chainfire Supersu flashable zip from his site and flash it in recovery.
You have rooted your phone.
Ater placing my device into fastboot mode, I have tried flashing my downloaded TWRP file to my HTC One in Terminal using these instructions:
Now let's flash your downloaded TWRP file to your HTC One. Type one of the following commands into your terminal window, depending on which file you downloaded above.
For the International editions, type:
fastboot flash recovery Desktop/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img
However I get the following error:
command not found
any help would be most appreciated.
Did you setup your mac to use adb / fastboot commands?

hi,
plz try CWM, M8 got some issues with twrp.
philz_touch_6.26.6-m8.img is the stable version plz try that.
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/m8
So I am starting to move forward :
I have followed the instructions to install philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img by flashing it to my HTC where I get the setup screen for philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img. I cleared the cache and I then installed the UPDATE-SuperSU-vx.xx.zip using the install zip from sdcard and then rebooted the HTC.
Unfortunately I have come back to the bootloader screen.
For what the instructions say it should be working now, but it does not seem to be?
Now it seems that whatever I try I cant seem to get past the bootloader....
And when I power down from the bootloader, It shuts down for a few minutes and then boots back into the bootloader.
Not sure what to do now?

is your problem similar to this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784232
May be you are using the wrong version.If you have international device you should try international version of philz/cwm recovery.I would suggest you to use TWRP since it is basically meant for htc devices.
Why am I getting this "FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))" error message all the time?

because you are using M7 files mate. you need to use M8.

M8 - Htc One - 2014 model

Hi all,
I bought a 2nd hand HTC One m8, and today I tried to install the OTA fix for stagefright, and after my phone rebooted I was faced with the following error message (see attached photo): "Package expects build fingerprint of htc/telus_wwe/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C/463267.2:user/release-keys or htc/telus_wwe/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C/463267.3:user/release-keys; this device has htc/h3g_uk/htc_m8:5.0.2/LRX22G/509530.6:user/release-keys.".
After searching around, I found out that this is likely the result of rooting and modifying the system or flashing a custom recovery. So I booted into HBOOT and was greeted with (see 2nd photo):
Code:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** RELOCKED ***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
Which seems to indicate that the device has indeed been tampered with.
I've searched around to try to figure out how I can restore my device to 100% stock firmware, but they all seem to require unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. Do I have a simpler option? I tried saving the OTA zip file and extracting recovery.img from the firmware.zip file, but when I try to flash it via "fastboot flash recovery", I get:
Code:
target reported max download size of 1826414592 bytes
sending 'recovery' (13218 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.451s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.923s
It seems strange that the stock recovery image fails the signature verification?
I'd really appreciate any advice on how to resolve this situation - and preferably an option which doesn't require wiping my entire phone, since it takes me hours to set everything back up again...
If you've managed to read this far, I am grateful I never intended to mess around with the phone in the first place, I guess that's what I get for buying second hand....
PS. The phone is from Telus
Your 1st pic show that you have a wrong recovery image installed. You have a Telus device but the recovery is H3G meant for UK device
You can't fastboot flash a recovery when the bootloader is locked or relocked. You need an unlocked bootloader for that.
If you don't want to re-unlock the bootloader, you can use the firmware.zip that you extracted from OTA to install recovery.
1. Rename the firmware.zip to 0P6BIMG.zip
2. Put the 0P6BIMG.zip on your microSD (I believe you have one)
3. Boot to bootloader/hboot - it will ask you to update, volume up to accept
4. let it do its stuff
5. once finish it ask to reboot, then reboot
6. remove the file from microSD
7. do the OTA again
The OTA will success if your current ROM is pure non-rooted stock ROM. If it is rooted OTA will fail too
Thank you so much, I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly - you just saved me a really big headache
Hey all!
I have an HTC One M9. I tried to run an RUU for my phone earlier, but the RUU gave me an error 155. I searched for the solution and found that I needed to lock my bootloader. I locked my bootloader and got the relocked status. I tried running the RUU again and it still gave me the same error 155.
Unfortunately, relocking the bootloader wiped the android system and the TWRP recovery too, so that when I try to go into recovery mode, it gives the error, "Failed to boot into recovery mode."
I tried flashing a zip file using fastboot oem rebootruu and then, "fastboot flash zip rom.zip", and it gives an error like
"target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi"
So, I'm totally stumped now
If anyone can present any solutions, I'll be extremely grateful.
Hi,
I'm currently on Android 7.0 (Nougat) (4.14.401.7) Stock on my HTC One M9. I tried to install TWRP v3.0.3-0_UNOFFICIAL, but got the following error when trying to reboot to Bootloader mode:
>> adb reboot bootloader
adb server version (31) doesn't match this client (36); killing...
* daemon started successfully *
Then my phone actually entered Bootloader mode anyway, but when I tried to flash TWRP, got this error:
unknown partition 'recovery.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'
But I know that the "recovery.img" file was in the same folder. Any ideas on what I'm I doing wrong?
I'm also curious, why is TWRP v3.0.3-0_UNOFFICIAL's size 19,5 MB and the Stock Recovery's size for this Android version is 64,0 MB? Is this kind of size difference normal?
