I can't post what it looks like as I'm new here, but when I can I will.
I can't do anything from here. The problem arose a few weeks when I was trying to covert from GPE back to stock, after doing a factory reset in the bootloader I got stuck like this, and I haven't been able to fix it since.
I can't use adb as USB debugging isn't enabled since there is literally no android on my phone.
Fastboot works, but I can't reboot into bootloader or fastboot or whatever it is via fastboot reboot-bootloader, as when I try it just turns the screen off and takes me back to here. I also can't get to the bootloader or fastboot via power and volume buttons.
I also can't flash anything, and can't reboot into TWRP recovery, which I somehow managed to install but I forgot how.
The bootloader is relocked, but it is still s-off and rooted if that helps.
Really not sure what to do, I need my phone back, any help would be appreciated.
Also, when I flash an RUU, it does everything and then comes up saying
FAIL51 partition update fail
FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail)
Okay, I'm not sure if this will work but please try to just boot twrp or stock recovery with the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot image.img
It seems like it does this because your bootloader is relocked
I've managed to fix everything.. Almost.
Now I can get into TWRP, and use adb push to get cm12 onto my device, but when i hit install on TWRP it just says unable to mount /data, /system and storage.
It's the latest version of TWRP and I don't know what to do. Maybe my phone isn't rooted anymore? How can I root it with no OS?

I think you don't exactly know what root is. Root access is a type of access the running OS has to alter the system partition.
You do not root a phone, you root the running software ! An unlocked bootloader, custom recovery has nothing to do with root access.
You do not need to root it, you need to flash or restore an OS, whether it's rooted or not.

YOu can't flash anything with a relocked bootloader. That is what a relocked or locked bootloader means. You need to unlock it again to flash anything.
Thanks for the help guys, I got it myself in the end. I flashed CWM instead of TWRP and used adb sideload to flash CM12 and Gapps and everythings working fine.

Install those two stuff .. type command
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will get you to bootloader
If you have bootloader screen.. you need custom recovery to install custom rom
If you have black screen, you need to run RUU for your device.
And this is wrong forum for your device. You should be able to find stuff for your device in HTC Amaze 4G forum.

You need to be in bootloader-fastboot mode, for fastboot commands to work.
Reboot to bootloader. If "fastboot" is not already highlighted in red near the top, select fastboot with vol keys and confirm with power button.

Hi there I followed the steps of the below exactly
1. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
2. Relock your bootloader via HTCDev. fastboot oem lock
3. Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
4. Flash new firmware using this commend: 'fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip' or using Y cable.
4a.On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
5. Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
6. Flash custom recovery using this commend: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
7. Download boot.img and flash it using this commend: ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
8. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
9. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
10. Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!
When I do step 4 in command prompt it does come back with sending .... (FAILED) FINISHED TOTAL TIME
so I am not sure if that is my route cause of it not loading ? the installer went to 100% with no errors or anything so ? helps please
Obviously it's not going to work if it says failed. What you need to do is repeat that step again until it succeeds.

I am pretty sure to do the ruu you have to relock your phone and I think with fastboot you need s-off for most commands.

Ok, since your bootloader is unlocked you can use fastboot commands
So download the latest recovery (smelkus is probably best) and flash it through fastboot (make sure you are in fastboot mode on the phone, go to bootloader > select fastboot and select with power)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameOfRecoveryHere.img
And once thats done, just flash a rom and you should be good

when i do that i get another box that pops up saying cmd has stoped working i also tried smelkus on sd card renamed PC36IMG but that goes through and loads and the parsing but then it stops and returns to bootloader
Ok, try reformatting your sdcard to FAT32
Make sure to have a backup, of course, then restore files when formatting is finished
Then try the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard again
Also, if it says "cmd has stopped working", thats a problem on your computers side, nothing to do with the PC-phone connection...if possible, try running those commands from another computer

I have this issue also and have the same stats as the OP for version, etc.
I can add a small amount of additional info, but I am unsure if it will be helpful.
I RUU'd with the Sprint_GB_4.54.651.3 file after lockibf the boot loader and had success. When relocked, HBoot States. "Locked status, not "Relocked OOW" as I have sometimes seen posted in Root/S-Off guides.
Additionally, I have used fast pot to flash partition by partition for a PC36IMG . Other than System failing GB die to excessive size, most or all of the others were successful.
When using fastboot to query CID, I get a status: Malformed error.
ADB is unusable for my device.. were it accessible, I would attempt TacoRoots methods, or use a modified downgrade strategy as employed with gFree and fr3vo, where one borks the device's version info and uses the temporary unsteady state to downgrade to known good software.
I have little to substantiate whether or not that would be possible or successful, but I have a hunch about it and in a perfect world would have the skilled means necessary to try to employ it.
I unfortunately do not.

Do you have the right recovery? What recovery are you using? Once you find the recovery needed, extract the .zip and put the file named recovery.img into your platform-tools folder in the SDK kit. Shift right click in the platform tools folder and run the command while in fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once that command is initiated and says successful. return back to your main hboot and go to recovery.

Make sure the device is in and you have fastboot on your machine
fastboot flash the recovery image
Immediately try to go into the recovery via the HBOOT menu
If no dice, reboot the system and make sure "fast boot" is unchecked in the power options. It might be unrelated, but still: do it.
Go back and try again, but after flashing recovery, reboot the bootloader and then immediately go to recovery.
If successful, reboot system then reboot back into HBOOT and then to recovery to confirm.
or try clear you cache via ADB

If people are really checking the Q&A and helping with problems,
they will help no matter your problem is inside some threads or a new one.
I thought you had to be s-off to downgrade and ruu. Thats why I was telling him to install custom recovery, then ROM. Go s-off then downgrade with RUU. Do you want stock or a ROM?

I'm not an expert . But I think you can't flash stock Rom from custom recovery. You must do it with Adb commands or what they like to call flash in fastboot mode. And for getting official firmware updates from HTC you need to setup stock recovery. I dunno but you may have to lock boot loader and S-ON too. But not sure. As I said, I'm not an expert

You need a stock recovery to do OTA updates, won't work with custom recovery.
COLLECTION of Stock Backups See if you can find your stock recovery in that thread. Flash it and then you should be good to go.

And for getting official firmware updates from HTC you need to setup stock recovery. I dunno but you may have to lock boot loader and S-ON too. But not sure. As I said, I'm not an expert

No, if he's S-OFF there is no need to lock bootloader or to go S-ON.
He can just download the recovery stock .img file and flash it through command prompt. When he's done and the phone restarted he should get the OTA update.
Only issue he might run into, if he's rooted he'll lose root access and will have to reroot, it happened to me, but it's not a major issue though.

You need a stock recovery to do OTA updates, won't work with custom recovery.
COLLECTION of Stock Backups See if you can find your stock recovery in that thread. Flash it and then you should be good to go.

Thanks for the basic outline. Would you be willing to give step by step instructions? I always get nervous when I have to do multiple flashing, rerooting, etc. . .

Instructions for? To flash back stock recovery?
1. Download the recovery from the link provided (Make sure it's the correct recovery, correct base number etc)
2. Place the downloaded recovery .img file in the adb folder where fastboot.exe is (by default it'll be in the platform-tools folder) - Though if you did a custom recovery you're probably already familiar with this.
3. Hold shift and right click anywhere in the white area of the folder > go to "open command prompt/window here"
4. Plug usb cable into device and connect up to computer (All familiar surely if you did custom recovery)
5. Commands:
a) adb devices ... to check if device is connected, should see serial number of device.
b) adb reboot bootloader
c) fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
d) fastboot reboot
Done.
Once the device restarted you should get the prompt for the OTA update(Depending on settings of course), you can then do OTA update.
To get mainversion number for the recovery you need. Just go to software information(in settings menu > about > software information) and check for OS version number or connect device to computer, reboot into bootloader adb reboot bootloader then type fastboot getvar version-main to see main version for device.

Actually, I forgot that. I need to lock boot loader if I'm S-ON but don't need if S-Off
Hi,
I'm trying to use hasoon2000's AIO toolkit in order to root my HTC One M8 (T-Mobile). I am following the guide outlined in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
I've flashed the recovery, all that I need to do now is click "Perm Root" to push supersu.zip onto my phone, and then use the recovery to install the zip. However, when I click perm root, i get the following message:
failed to copy 'su/supersu.zip' to '/sdcard/supersu.zip' permission denied
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After I go to the recovery, I see supersu.zip there, and I flash it using the recovery, but I don't think it is a full and proper installation because when I enter supersu from my phone, it is telling me that "binaries" are not installed. I am assuming this is because of the denied permissions. USB debugging is definitely on. Any advice?

Does it also tell you to click a button to update the binaries? Do that.
Also, why are you using a toolkit? Rooting the M8 is super easy.
I always suggest to never use toolkits unless there is no other option to gain root. Usually for cheap third world devices like Micromax.
EDIT:
Here:
Go to this link, and download the "UPDATE SuperSU.zip" onto your phone.
Flash it in recovery.
Find it in your app drawer and open it.
Update the binaries.
You are now rooted.

If you are running Lollipop, the SuperSU version that comes with the toolkit is quite obsolete, and won't work anyway.
Just download the current (2.46) version SuperSU and flash it like xunholyx says.

Confirm in bootloader, that is says UNLOCKED.
What hboot number, and what version TWRP are you trying to flash?

What happens if you type the command: fastboot devices
The response should be the phone ID; which corresponds to your serial number, I believe, so do NOT post it.

Why are you trying to flash in recovery mode? You need to be in fastboot mode to flash via fastboot.
Have you got the proper fast boot drivers?
