I have a HTC M8 purchased from Dubai. It's a standard unlocked one. Yesterday I had received notification that there is a system update and I had downloaded the same. But now when I click on install I get the following error message.
{

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have never rooted the device but now this is big surprise to me. I had given the device around a year back to a dealer here for some repair. I had found an app called SU which when I searched on google shows as a root app. I can't remove the installed app as it gives error. Please help me to resolve this issue and install the Android 6 on my phone.
I'm a pure layman on these technical items. Age isn't on my side to understand most of the technical terms
no you cannot update it because you are using custom recovery, flash the approriate stock recovery then install the update

Thank you. But can you be a little more specific,like how to do what you asked me to please. I have never done anything of this sort.
ok look first your stock recovery here base on your software info --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
then flash it via fastboot
type fastboot flash recovery (recovery name).img <--- dont included the () just put the recovery name, maybe name it as stock.img so you can flash it like this
fastboot flash recovery stock.img
then install the OTA enjoy
Thanks a lot imfuzzyyy

Install TWRP by fastboot, as directed in the link given to you in the previous post.
Your bootloader is currently unlocked?

It says UNLOCKED highlighted in purple on the bootloaders screen. This means your bootloader is unlocked. No need to unlock it again.
TWRP should install fine. Use the fastboot method to install TWRP. TWRP Manager app is a needless middle man, and can cause issues in itself.
But you may have to re-install HTC Sync to get fastboot working (based on the error message show in your PC screenshot).

Hello world !!!
I've created a project of a new kind : The RecoverX Project
The goal of this project is to gather ALL the recoveries for ALL android devices in ONE tool which install them on the devices. RecoverX is coded in C++ thanks to QtSDK and allow to install a recovery on more than 150 different devices !!!
You just have to select your device and the recovery, click "Install" and RecoverX does the rest !!! It's that simple
This program require different prerequesties, depending of your device
- Wether you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery partition (and fastboot drivers on your PC)
- Wether you need root access and usb debugging activated (if busybox is not installed, RecoverX will ask you the permission to install it).
This program have been published on XDA News : Here
Here is the list of supported devices :
Finally, a small preview
Awesome !!! Where is the download link ???
Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227
Java was a better solution I think it's cross platform
Yes but java is very complex and I don't like the design (don't blame me lol). And QtSdk is also cross platform but my program needs specifics windows libraries.

so you're telling me that i don't really have the bootloader unlock? even if i used that app, bootunlocker? because it says i have the bootloader unlock, and when i turn on my phone, under the google logo now shows up an open padlock, and i think that means i have the bootloader unlocked

well it doesn't work at all, the tool says it has been installed correctly, but when i try to enter recovery mode (first entering fastboot mode, then selecting recovery mode) it doesn't do anything, it shows up and android with open chest and a red error sign..what did i did wrong? does that means i don't really have the bootloader unlocked?

the red chest android is stock recovery, looks like the recovery-from-boot.p file is still there which overrides your cwm and brings it back to stock..to make cwm permanent, you need to delete or rename recovery-from-boot.p file located in /system folder using a file manager and then re-flash recovery

and what you recommend? delete or rename?..i allways wonder why that android with red errors always shows up everytime i try to enter recovery, because i flash the regular recovery via rom manager, and it works fine, but everytime i have to flash it to enter recovery because it give me that error, and i didn'd know why until now, so thank you

Are you sure you have fastboot drivers for your device correctly installed on your PC ??? Because 80 % of people who said that the tool doesn't work didn't have installed these drivers.
If it is not the case, please, use the Gnex Toolkit to install the drivers on your PC then, try to install the recovery.

hey XDA, I've got an M8 on Wind Mobile with clockworkmod and a stock ROM, and there's a system update I can't take without the stock recovery. I searched all over the place, but couldn't find the correct recovery. Can someone point me to the download or upload the stock recovery from their phone pretty please? The CID on this phone is GLOBA001. Bootloader unlocked, and S-ON.
Download OTA, select install later. Copy OTA zip from internal storage/Download to PC.
Open OTA zip with 7-zip, open firmware.zip, extract out recovery.img
Use this extracted recovery.img then continue OTA

Hey, I downloaded the OTA but I cant find the file anywhere. I tried OTA snatcher, but nothing happens. I cant even find the file at all. I do have root. how else can I get the OTA onto my PC?
EDIT: Never mind I got it. flashed the recovery but its still not taking the update, it just hangs on the white htc screen. cant boot into the stock recovery at all.
Maybe I'll just start a new thread then...
There is no need for a new thread. Keep everything in one thread. So anyone willing to help you can easily find info on your problem.
Have you try press & hold both power and volume up button, when it goes black quickly release both buttons and press & hold volume down button. This will take youto hboot then select recovery and check whether stock recovery is properly installed.

tried that many times. When I select recovery, it just hangs on the white htc screen forever, never booting into the recovery and I have to force reboot it. The only recovery that seems to boot is clockworkmod...
Just forget about entering the stock recovery for awhile as there is no reason for you to go in there except to check the error log when doing update.
After you installed the stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), reboot and do OTA again, download and select install ... what happen then ?

I know WIND is a rare version around here, don't see any stock backup anywhere.

Yes, then it boots back up normally into the old version, 4.4.2 and asks to apply the update again.

I feel it's odd that it didn't go to recovery when you correctly installed a stock recovery. If the recovery image is wrong version, it still go to recovery and give error mark (the famous red triangle) but yours it just hang .. I run out of idea.
If you have time, maybe you can make a nandroid backup of boot & system (don't need data as it contains your data) and upload for me to have a look at it. Then I can rebuild the nandroid for others too. So far I don't see any Wind backup at all on XDA or anywhere on the internet. So it's up to you. If you do, you can put in dropbox or Drive and PM me the link.

I'm trying to launch without flashing, just launching the "fastboot boot recovery.img" but the phone replied:
sudo fastboot boot recovery.img downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.463s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.463s
The device is already with the bootloader unlocked as you can see here:
sudo fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX563J

Well, I installed successfully. First, used this command to unlock the bootloader: fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX563J. Then flashed custom recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
The problem is, now I cant install Gapps through this recovery. After successfully installation, i reboot the phone, but it doesn't load into the system, just logo on the screen. Any solutions for gapps?

ı have custom rom the Nubia_NX563J-update-V244_ByYiRan
any idea how to ınstall working gapps ?
I have now an almost working gapps, but I made so many things that I can't be sure what was the thing that made it work.
I used the gapps from nubia forum, I removed the Play Store and add the newer version, remove my account, clear data in Play Store and Google Services, and finally flash opengapps for this version (mini version).
Is not working 100% because, for example Antutu and other benchmarks don't work (and I need them for my review), Chrome syncs good, Contacts not syncing, etc
Oh! I forgot to mention that I'm using your same ROM but, I modify removing Neosafe app, which I think can affect to Gapps

The zip on nubia forum is not for TWRP, you need to unzip and install by adb one by one

Hi, this is my first time rooting a phone.
I was able to unlock, flash TWRP, install and root my phone with Magisk following this video from Munchy
Following that, I installed ArrowOS and wiped (Format Data) with TWRP, as per this video from Munchy again.
But then I noticed that on boot, my Magisk app stated N/A, so I assumed I had to reroot the phone again, so I followed this video but I think I flashed the wrong boot.img, and arrowOS was unable to detect Wi-Fi at all.
I then tried to use this to restore stock MIUI following this tutorial and now my phone is stuck on this screen as per my attached picture. Selecting any option here just brings me back to the same screen no matter what I try, can anyone help?
This is what MiFlash looks like as well after everything:

Sorry, fixed. You can download now. Also, in MiFlash go into Configuration and uncheck Read Back Verify if It's checked.

I MANAGED TO FLASH IT, YOU SAVED MY PHONE DUDE THANKS!
If you don't mind, I'm trying to do the following:
-Root the Poco F3
-Flash ArrowOS
Is there a tutorial somewhere I can follow that can get me both of the above? I think I was able to root it successfully first, but flashing arrowos caused the issue of the post

Now you can flash whatever rom you want. Just make sure the "install recovery after flashing" or whatever it says is checked. It will automatically flash Orangefox after the ROM so it sticks. Make sure it is checked when you flash any rom. If the ROM doesn't come with Gapps you flash the ROM first, reboot recovery then flash Gapps then Magisk, then Format data (not wipe data, format data) then restart and you should be good to go.
I'm glad you got that flashing error sorted out. I still get shivers in my spine when I see that error...
