[Q] HTC One m8 fingerprint update error

Helllo there!
I'm making a new thread because I couldn't find anyone with the exact same problem and don't want to brick my phone or such.
Now to the problem: every time I try to update my HTC one m8 (Europe) it stops when installling and tells me this:

The phone is rooted, the bootloader unlocked, it has the stock recovery, it's s-on and it says "software status: modified".

I am pretty new here still, so i don't know how to fix it, and i don't want to break it.

You should post your getvar all (deleting your imei number and S./N ) there is a post here but it is in german with the same problem which points to an incorrect recovery!

Being rooted or not has no bearing on OTA update.
Also, it seems that you are trying to tell the OP to root (not completely clear, with the 2 word post), when he clearly states he is already rooted.

Getvar info added!
By the way, the other guy had a different problem.
Has anyone got an idea of whats wrong?

Download and run the 3.28.401.10 RUU first (a quick search here and you'll find it), then run this one.

Wrong stock recovery image.
OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)
Get the right recovery image, OTA will proceed.

Okay thank you so far!
But now it comes up with a different error; It says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents".
Let me tell you the whole story:
Some time ago i installed busybox, xposed and xprivacy (and luckypatcher) and used it normaly.
Then the Lollipop update came around and since it wasnt working (giving out the unexpected contend error) i thought it would be a good idea to just do a factory reset.
It didnt work afterwards either, so i went here to ask what the problem was, and i was told it was because of xposed.
However, xposed wasn't installed anymore (the app), and (i think) the newer versions installed it somewhere else, so installing and then uninstalling (the button in the app) it didnt delete the old directory. (Btw. in an last attempt i tried installing the stick recovery and got the wrong one apparently)
So yeah, i have no idea on how to fix this problem, but i would be okay with having to reset my phone.

That's expected
There are a few methods to solve your problem.
The easiest one is RUU it back to stock.
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
You need to relock bootloader and also make a backup of your internal storage files/pic/music or whatever you like to keep.
The RUU will update your device to the latest

You don't have S-Off - that's why you need to relock bootloader
That's the only difference - read the thread thoroughly.
First step - relock bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
then follow the step 3 onwards
Also note you need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the usual fastboot.exe
Anything you need to ask, you can ask there. I believe @EddyOS will gladly help you

I believe you do know this is M8 thread and not HTC Desire 820n
But .. this is what you can do to fix your problem ...
Check for OTA as usual, download OTA then select install later.
Connect your device to PC then copy the OTA zip from internal storage\download folder to PC
Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip. Open firmware.zip and extract out recovery.img <--- this is the one that you need.
Boot your device to bootloader
Fastboot flash this extracted recovery.img
Reboot, check for OTA again, this time select install now
Done

I'm sorry for posting here but i did it and it's not working when i'm flashing the recovery i tooked it from the OTA it's give me error when flashing it the update is lollipop and i'm on kitkat 4.4.4

However every time I install a custom ROM I get stuck in boot loop and the only way to fix it is to go back to stock ROM
Any ideas??

You need to manually flash the boot.img file in the custom ROM via ADB while in Fastboot mode, unless you have S-Off. Oh the quirks of HTC phones...

Wrong info. Even on s-on M8 phones the boot.img is flashed automatically so that's not it.
@ O.P
Sure you full wiped before installing the new rom. Can you give an example of what roms you tried ?
And DELETE your imei and serial !

I dont get it. This wasnt happening before the upgrade to lolipop. It also happens with multirom. Maybe its time to S-off.

Hmmm, well i can suggest to make a full wipe manually in TWRP and don't select that in the rom's aroma installer. Then continue to install the full basic rom. Don't delete or modify apps in the installer.

Just flash the correct Lollipop firmware and you're good to go.

This only applies to older HTC devices, and has never been true for the M8 (as another already stated). I don't understand why folks keep propagating this incorrect info.

What version number of TWRP exactly? I ask, since once in a while, folks say they are on the "latest" but then it turns out they are looking in the wrong place, and its actually an older version (and the cause of their issue).
What ROMs specifically did you try?

I did a full wipe(system,data etc except sdcard) in TWRP 2.8.7, and then the install of ViperOne went good.

i am without OS !!! SOS !!!

Guys please help me i just bought my phone and i am without OS already what a stupid i am i messed it up by using twrp and i didn't back up my stock rom dam it (( (((

First ... remove the serial no. & imei no in your post as they are sensitive info.
You have 3 options :
1. Restore 4.16.401.10 TWRP backup - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60147089&postcount=5104
It read as WWE 4.20.401.10 TWRP Backup but that's typo error .. it should read as WWE 4.19.401.10 TWRP Backup
or
2. Relock your bootloader and install 4.16.401.10 RUU.exe - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56140330&postcount=1
(make backup of your internal storage important data as this will wipe everything)
or
3. Relock your bootloader and fastboot flash the 4.16.401.10 RUU.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
(make backup of your internal storage important data as this will wipe everything and also note you need htc_fastboot instead of normal fastboot)

thanks for your fast response.

Read the thread linked in my signature on how to restore a TWRP backup.
You need to extract it with 7-zip and put those files in your backup folder not to ADB it nor fastboot it.

hi guys
I have similar problem.

software number was 4.16.401.10 before OTA update.
can i also use the files above to try to fix the phone?

Thank you. restore is in progress.
After restore i will flash back stock recovery and then relock the bootloader.
If i do that, my top line in bootloader will disappear ? right now is : "Software status: Modified "

No need to relock bootloader.
Only when running RUU.exe or RUU.zip you need to relock bootloader when S-On.
Using a backup no need to relock bootloader. Just flash stock recovery then do OTA.
If that backup fails (as I'm not sure whether that's fully stock or not), I put up my own stock backup in my thread .. you can try that later if current one fails.

Restore successfully completed. Now, in order not to have problems with latest OTA , i have to restore stock recovery, right ?

Are you sure that you started installing OTA after flashing stock recovery ?

Yes. OTA downloaded and I tried twice to install, but all it did was restart phone into bootloader.
After flashing stock recovery, I rebooted phone, ran OTA and update started.
After update completed, phone rebooted to white start screen with HTC logo and froze there.
I have read that this is probably because I ran OTA on rooted device.
So now i am stuck with no OS and hope these files will help.
Thanks ckpv5 for help and link.

flashed stock recovery and running OTA again now. fingers crossed.
but whatever happens, just wanna say thanks again guys. much appreciated.

if I may ask, what is the safest method to run OTA in future?

i dont really know. Anyway , how about your free space. i dont know what happened because now i have less that 1 GB free space.

Boot the custom recovery and make a pure stock backup. Restore that one if you need to ota update again

The best solution for me if I ever have this problem .. I will format data (not wipe data) in TWRP before I restore the backup (of course need to backup internal storage data somewhere else first)

Done . Now i have free space. many thanks !!

Deleted Teamwin Recovery without having stock recovery again-Bootloop HTC One M8

Hey everyone
The thing is that I was trying to return my phone to stock recovery to update my phone to Marshmallow and unroot it and I read this in another forum:"Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.
Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.
Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk."
So I followed these instructions and then when I rebooted the phone,it got stuck in bootloop. I can't turn it off now or get into the bootloader.

What can I do to have my phone again in stock recovery?
Thanks in advance

First of all if you rooted the rom this ain't going to work. You need a never rooted stock rom + recovery.
Hold power + volume up and switch to volume down when the screen turns black (do not let go of the power button) then you are in the BL. From there you go to the custom TWRP recovery.
Then you have to find a pure stock backup or a RUU that matches your OS/firmware number (if you haven't made one yourself), restore it and flash the stock recovery and you are done.

You can't run the dev edition RUU at all as you are S-ON and have a different firmware. If you have the 709 RUU then try that indeed. But backup what you need because a RUU deletes EVERYTHING !

No S-OFF is NOT needed. just get the RUU with that version number indeed if it's even available. Then run it with a RELOCKED bootloader.

A stock back-up has to be unpacked and RESTORED with TWRP. No idea what you are doing now but i suggest to stop and read instructions first !

Soft Bricked M8 in need of help badly

Hi there in need of some help. I have really ****ed up my install of twrp and supersu from my htc one m8.
I followed this person tutorial htconeroot com/htc-one-root I followed everything to the letter apart from enabling Dev enable usb debugging.
1st of all I downloaded this twrp file "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8" when I should have downloaded the latest version of twrp. Such a noob mistake I know now : (
2nd I also downloaded a older version of supersu SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815 which I loaded onto my phone and should have downlaoded the latest version.
I followed all the instruction on the video and when I rebooted after instaling supersu my device is now stuck on the HTC startup screen.
I tried to reboot again going into fastboot and recovery and nothing worked. I know I should have just updated supersu to the latest version but I followed some other peoples advice and now I have completelty screwd my phone I think.
I deleted supersu from twrp and wiped the files as well. My computer now does not recognise my phone folder to be able to install any updated version of supersu or install a ROM. My computer OS is windows 10 and it now sees my phone as a cd drive so cannot install anything on the drive at all.
I can get into twrp but nothing seems to work when I try to reset back to factory settings.
Is there a command line way in geting back into my phone and being able to sort this mess that I have made.
In need of some serious help from the experts here at xda developers.
All help is very much appreciated.
Thanks Steve

These random "root" websites just copy content from XDA, and have little or no community to help you. All you need is on XDA, so I recommend stick to XDA.
Such "root" websites also don't give enough information, aren't well organized, and don't update it all. So they are very likely to get you into trouble, as you now know.

What version, if it wasn't SuperSU 2.79?
What version of Android was the phone on when you started? Was it Marshmallow?

There is really no such thing as "reset back to factory settings" especially in TWRP. Just going in and wiping things, isn't going to fix the problem.
Try to fastboot flash an updated version of TWRP. If you were on Marshmallow, try current version 3.1.0-0 from there: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
Once booted into TWRP, see if you can access the internal storage from your PC. If not, make sure internal storage is checked in "Mount".

Sorry was this version SuperSU-v2.37.zip. I do appologise thats the latest version that I posted and was ment to be this version SuperSU-v2.37.zip this is the one that I installed.
Yes it was marshmallow.
I downloaded the latest version of twrp and can I ask how to re install twrp ??
I cannot access my phone internal storage for some reason my computer is not recognising my phone now. It was before as I installed supersu straight onto my phone internal storage and tried to boot the phone from that. It's now coming up as a cd drive and I cannot access to install anything on it.
In mount all I have
System >>> not checked
cache >>> not checked
Data >>> is checked
Micro SDcard >> is checked
USB-OTG >>> not checked
Thanks again for your help

Flash with fastboot. Which I would assume is the same way you did it before. Instructions on TWRP's website: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html

Let's get the right version of TWRP on the phone first, and see if that helps. If not, we'll go from there.

Updated twrp
Hi just to let you know that I have booted into the new twrp. I am using FWUL and using simple-ADB and it installed it no problem.
Just cannot seem to find how to install supersu onto my device as my phone is not showing up FWUL OS.

Sorry, what is FWUL?

Updatefor you
Hi just to say that I installed supersu as well the latest version SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815. After rebooting I am back to the htc page. I have no ROM installed at all on this and it's saying there no OS installed on my phone.
I want to install kali Linux Nethunter and I have downlaod the correct files to install.
WillI have to install another OS like Marshmallow or kitkat before installing Kali Nethunter.
Thanks again for yourhelp : ))

[LIVE-ISO][FWUL][STABLE] adb/fastboot without any installation and driver issues
[F]orget [W]indows se [L]inux
Did you not send me there to download it lol : ))

You must have at some point in trying to "fix" the problem, wiped system in TWRP. System is same as ROM/OS. So if you wiped it, it's pretty obvious that no ROM is the result.
Flashing old SuperSU in itself doesn't result in no ROM/no OS. It just makes the phone stuck on boot screen, and flashing the proper SuperSU will fix it.

I've never used it. But reading the thread, it looks like you need a fully working OS. So pick a ROM, put it on the phone, and flash it. Then flash Kali Nethunter.

Ah, I see it's listed as one of the several options for adb/fastboot in the TWRP install instructions. I've never used that specific one, so the acronym confused me. Any fastboot/adb environment will work about the same. You didn't really need to install anything new on your computer. You already had fastboot on your computer to begin with (to unlock the bootloader), and that would have worked fine to install TWRP.

BackUp File
Hi there and thanks very much for your help very much appreciated. Before I did everything I made a back up and have the files on my desktop they are:
0C77AEECE8C258113148C6FB487946BF97B34672
01C669ECF50A775226B15B9F60EEB522AB34BE2F
I have ten of these files and a deafault file as well. Can I restore these to my hpne at all.
I am going to try and install marshmallow on my phone as that was the last OS that I had. Do I have to have the most current and updated version MM.

What did you use to "backup" the phone? Those don't look like TWRP backup folder names. They look like MD5 verification codes?
Individual TWRP backup folders will usually have name format of the date/time the backup was made, such as: 2017-04-22-20-43-56....

There weren't many different official versions (maybe 1 or 2) of Marshmallow for each M8 carrier version. Any version MM should do.
