I have an HTC One m8 that is stuck on Bootloader. It is an unlocked bootloader with S-Off. I had CWM but I installed stock recovery back onto the phone before flashing a stock kernel (I was trying to make the phone look untampered with before I turned it over to my provider), the Kernel came with a sha1 and was from a trusted website and I am 100% sure it was the right compatible Kernel I'm pretty sure I just had a bad flash.
I have tired the following to get the phone past the bootloader:
1. Fastboot USB Mode --> Try to get ADB to recognize the device --> Debugging mode isn't on (obviously) --> ADB can't recognize the device.
2. Use AndroidSDKSlim/ Android SDK tools / Android Utility to remotely turn on Debugging mode (I got nowhere with this)
3. Attempted to use PdaNet to remotely turn on Debugging mode (got nowhere)
4. HTC Sense doesn't even know whats going on
I just need to get TWRP or CWM or litearlly Any recovery installed. That's all I need, I can do everything from there. I can't remotely install a recovery via adb because adb can't recognize my device because I can't turn Debugging mode on because my device is softbricked!!! Gahhhh. I haven't been able to come up with a way to remotely enable debugging mode or to get adb to recognize my device.
Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be heavily appreciated - I've resourced from every relevant thread I could find. Posting here was a last resort I try to fix things on my own but I'm too many days into this with no results please anybody.
ADB won't work while on fastboot mode. ADB only while in recovery or on OS running.
You don't need USB debugging on for fastboot
fastboot devices - see whether your device is listed with serial no.
if yes then run
fastboot flash recovery NameofRecovery.img

Thank you for reply!
I have not been able to get ADB to recognize the device, which is pretty much my whole issue right now. It does not appear under the devices list. If I can just get adb talking with my phone everything else should be easy, I just can't figure out why it's not recognizing it.

When on bootloader/fastboot mode
run command
fastboot devices
not adb devices

Oh.. My..God..
You just saved my life, this whole time I thought fastboot utility in AndroidSDK was just a stripped version of ADB. I'm a moron!
I have TWRP up and running holy crap thank you so so so so much, you are seriously a life saver.

1) Reboot the phone using Power+Vol Up
2) The moment the screen goes dark to reboot and before the white HTC logo screen appears again (Should be around 10 seconds), press the volume down key.... Do not let go of vol down until you see the bootloader screen
3) If the bootloader doesn't appear, you either started pressing Vol Down too late, or let go of it too early. Just do the steps again until you get it right.
4) Once you are in the bootlader, select select fastboot by pressing power key.
5)you can flash either permanent or temporary a TWRP recovery once you are in fastboot.
6)Once you are in recovery mode, you can transfer any custom rom to memory or sd card, then install it from the place you chose.
7) you can flash RUU file at fatboot mode as well.

so i had just htc dev unocked my one x, now i was using hasoons tool, and when i tried to flash a recovery in fastboot with commands, everything in the prompt said okay.. flashed successful and so on, and the bar on the top right hand side of my phone flickered as if to load, but didint. now when i go to recovery mode, it gives me the splash screen with some red letter **** about distrabution, then reboots. ive tried flashing every possible recovery for the one x, including stock, and seems to do nothing, help??
pic is the screen rite b4 reboot (thats what i get when i reboot into recovery)
EDIT:: now im stuck at the screen in the picture, will not boot into anything else, will not be recognized by adb. PLEASE HELP!!!!
EDIT EDIT: i can power off, and get back into fast boot with volume off, but im almost asuming i just have no recovery..... and it will NOT! boot into the phone no matter what, only booting into that screen... what the **** do i do lol this is kind of a panic now
Have you tried reflashing stock recovery? Also shouldn't you be in the AT&T One X forum unless of course you have the international version of the One X.
I have tried the stock recovery, but now its in fastboot and won't get recognized by adb on my pc as it did. It just boot loops now at that screen and won't get recognized. And this isn't at. &t

First of all ADB only works in RECOVERY mode not directly in bootloader. So do the following steps & instal custom rom (Any1 u like).
1. You need recovery.img in your fastboot directory
2. Go into bootloader and connect phone
3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
credits to broncogr for finding that adb works if you use fastboot boot command and to Jotha for helping me out!
Hey. I was using a 5.0.1 GPE Rom on my M8 and decided to update both the firmware and the rom to 5.1
I Backed everything up and decided to, as usual, use adb to sideload the firmware to the phone. I did and everything went as expected. After I finished I rebooted to android. I get NFC service stopped working, System UI stopped working and I can't interact with the phone. My thought, well let's go to the recovery and flash a rom I have in my external SD card. No recovery to be found just a android guy belly up with a red ! sign on his belly.
So I thought, I lost my recovery due to the firmware flash, I had happened before, So i went online found a TWRP recovery and went to flash it. Reboot to fastboot USB mode, but then in adb I cannot see the device at all. "adb devices" shows and empty list. I tried my windows 7 laptop to the same result.
Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me, I'm kinda freaking out at this point and am running out of options

When in fastboot mode - run command fastboot devices
No adb when in fastboot mode
To flash a recovery (unlocked bootloader)

I had an unlocked bootloader phone. Yesterday I flashed the new Android 6, Europe version from the Huawei blog forum, no beta, on my Huawei GX8. I used the method, dload on SD card, Phone off an the press Volume down+volume up+Power button.The flashing was normaly.
Now the phone starts normaly but I can´t start fastboot. When the phone is off and i press Vol down + Power the phone start the android system and the Huawei logo is coming not the fastboot Modus. I can see my phone and the order under Windows but i can not control my phone with the fastboot command. (example: fastboot device. the answere ist searching devices, but it comes no resolution) I loaded the last version of Fastboot, but the problem is the same.
Please can you help me. What can i do? Many thanks for your help!
Should be connect the charger cable to the phone.

And when you use adb to reboot to bootloader, what happen? Do you have "Minimal adb and fastboot tool" installed?

Sorry for my question, what´s the differents about adb and fastboot tool? I have install the last version of minimal adb and the fastboot tool, also the Windows driver for the phone. Debugging is on. I try to connect my phone about the fastboot terminal. When i try to set the phone into the bootloader mod with the fastboot terminal and the equivalent command, fastboot say´s "searching phone". My phone does not react.

So, you connect your phone, open minimal adb and fastboot too, run "adb devices", you see device id? If yes, run "adb reboot bootloader" . Phone shoult reboot to fastboot mode. Then run "fastboot devices" to see if it is connected properely.
i did it, like you described, but i see not my device id. Only the note "seach device"
Is it possible that TWRP is defect on my device? Is TWRP necessary for fastboot or only for root?

No, you should be able to use adb and fastboot with stock recovery.
After first adb command you shoult approve authorization on your phone.
Here is screenshot from minimal adb...
Phone must be in MTP mode.
And here is phone in fastboot
Many thanks for your help, now I m in my bootloader.
2 problems i had.
1. My daemon was not started correctly, i have not seen my device.
2. I used the wrong command. I started with fastboot, not with the command adb device. I tap „fastboot reboot-bootloader“,but the correct command is “adb reboot-bootlader“
Now i have seen my phone is unlocked, i hope i can root my android 6.

Just reboot to fastboot and flash surdu-petru version of TWRP recovery 3.0.2 with command "fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img". And than reboot to recovery and flash supersu zip.
When trying to boot into the download or recovery mode it kepps rebooting itself. I can only boot into the boot loader and get following information:
-Software status: Modified
-Unlocked
-S-ON
What shouldI do now? Pls help me guys
If you can't get to download mode then the phone is buggered.
Hold down volume down button and connect to computer using a usb cable(good quality one) this should boot the device to adb mode

If it works please let me know i will help u further
Tested and worked on my htc one m9 device

I guess it was bricked when installing the individual patch for the youtube app, the day after that all my app have crushed instantly when trying to open them thus I have decided to reboot my device.
I have tried your method and it unfortunately failed. When I have connected my phone to the pc and hold down the volume down button I have heard the sound of a device that connected to my pc then I tried to enter the recovery mode which ended in a bootloop.
Did ur device work now?
If not try this
Well if you heard a sound in ur pc well then the device might be in adb mode
have u installed all the adb drivers with htc usb drivers if yes
Open adb or official ruu program and flash the stock rom
This method might work
This interests me
I have an HTC One m9 that bootloops and has a broken recovery that cannot be booted into. It has an unlocked bootloader. I tried to go into download mode and recover the phone with adb commands, but the device does not show up in the command line as a connected adb device. I suspect that is because usb debugging is not enabled. is there any way to enable usb debugging without having a working recovery or main os, or am I out of luck. Also is there any other way to unbrick the phone without using adb or usb debugging?
Re-flash Stock ROM.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash <STOCK-ROM.zip>
When I plug in the phone to the computer via usb, it does not find it as a device when I do fastboot devices. if I try to flash anyway, it just says something along the lines of waiting for device.
Also does it matter if I use powershell or cmd?
its better to use cmd, and have you installed fastboot drivers?
