Help For Old Guy Reverting TWRP M8 To Stock

Hey guys. Need some help remembering how to do this stuff and what info i need to get some real help sorting out my misses phone.
Ive not done this for a very long time...since i re did my old HTC HD2.
So...the misses has had her HTC One M8 for over a year now. Bought off Ebay and all is good. An update needed to be done about 6 months ago but the wife said it failed all the time. I had a look and found it had a TWRP boot loader on and a custom ROM installed (i guess). The phone will not even connect to sync manager (my original M8 will) but is seen by Windows and can view the internal storage and SD storage.
So, want to revert it back to a stock M8 image but am confused about what i need to get to make this happen.
I know my M8 is on version 6.12.401.4 and have downloaded a recovery image with that number. Also, the TWRP version on the misses phone is v2.8.6.1.
Please can someone with a lot more brain power help me to revert her phone back to stock and save me from a moaning wife (and not moaning in the good way )
Thx in advance for any help

What's the OS- no. written on bootloader ?
If that is blank, post the fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
If there is OS- with no. and it's a GSM device, check the thread linked in my signature for how-to and the files needed.

Hi ckpv5 and thx for the reply
Well i have no idea whats going on with this phone or what the misses has been playing around with.
So after i come home from work to day..she shoved the phone in my hand and said "its broke...go fix it". So had a look........and now it stops on the HTC screen and will go no further. When i connect it to the PC...i can see the internal storage and the SD card. There seems to be not much on the internal storage....so not sure if she has deleted the actual OS on the phone and thats why it will not boot through. There is 10.5GB free of 10.6GB
Im sorry for being really dumb but i cant seem to get the info from the fastboot getvar all results. Not sure if its me or the phone but tried what was posted and got nothing :/
So...not sure if this helps but this is whats on the bootloader screen:

10.6 GB internal storage is just the user accessible part. This means its the 16 GB version, and the balance (5.4 GB) is reserved for the OS (and that partition is not viewable in Windows).
It doesn't prove whether the OS has been deleted or not (it still may be - but doesn't prove so).

Are you in bootloader, and have fastboot mode selected (FASTBOOT highlighted in red near the top of screen)?
Is so, try another cable, or another USB port on the PC. Does the command work on your phone?

The radio number corresponds to Lollipop (version number 5.xx). The stock nandroid you mention in the first post 6.12.401 is Marshmallow, and therefore won't work.

Be careful, I think you have your terminology mixed up here.
A recovery image is not a ROM or OS. Recovery image refers to a custom recovery (like TWRP) or stock recovery (stock analogue of TWRP), which is only the tiny stock/official application which installs OS updates, etc.
A TWRP backup or stock ROM (OS) is typically around 1.5 GB (for Sense ROMs). Stock recovery image is around 10 MB.
In any case, as already mentioned, the version number 6.12.401 (even if you are referring to stock TWRP backup) won't work on your wife's phone (mismatch the current LP firmware).

Hi redpoint
Thx for your reply and trying to help me.
Yes you are correct...it is 16GB storage. Just goes to show how long i have been out of the loop with these sorts of things and probably why im having trouble sorting this out
Thx for clearing up that the radio version is for a Lollypop version and for setting me straight on on recovery and ROM terminology.
Now...can i post the phone to some one to sort out for me lol

OK....managed to get the fastboot getvar all result

ckpv5's advice is excellent, as always. But one thing I'd add, is that the RUU update method he linked will wipe all data on the phone. If there is anything on the phone your wife wants to retrieve/keep (that isn't backed up to removable SD or off the phone - such as PC or cloud), you might try to restore the stock TWRP backup (restore Lollipop) and corresponding stock recovery, retrieve the data, and from there either see if the update installs properly, otherwise update to MM using the RUU method linked by ckpv5 above.
To restore stock TWRP backup for Lollipop, use ckpv5's thread (also linked in his signature) and install the stock TWRP backup and stock recovery for 4.16.401.10 or 4.16.401.13 (can't tell which exactly, I just know its one of those from the radio number). Necessary files and instruction in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Now, we don't exactly know what caused the phone to stop booting in the first place, so I'd suggest to make it clear to your wife up front, that you may or may not be able to retrieve any data. But its certainly worth a try.
Of course, if there isn't any data your wife wants to keep, you can go ahead with ckpv5's original advice to update by RUU.

Yeah there is nothing on the phone that she wants to keep now
So, tried it out but when i go to flash it says it cannot open the zip file. Below is the cmd string:

After typing the "fastboot oem rebootRUU" the phone reboots and has HTC on a black screen and stays there. Is that correct?
I also tested the files in the zip and it looks like some are corrupted:
C:\Users\st00kz\Desktop\RUU\RUU.zip.zip: The archive is corrupt
C:\Users\st00kz\Desktop\RUU\RUU.zip.zip: Checksum error in dzdata_32g.img. The file is corrupt
I tried downloading it on all the mirrors from this link in your other post https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
Am i doing it right??? if so...is there another place that i can find the zip file???
Thx for all your advice again guys

1. The zip is not corrupted but it is encypted so you can't open it.
2. Read the above when you tested the zip. It seems your windows extension is hidden, when you rename the file to RUU.zip, you actually rename it to RUU.zip.zip, that's why you have the error (read that warning in the guide). Rename the file to RUU and do the test again, can you see now it is read as RUU.zip ? If yes, retry the procedure but this time run the flashing part with :
fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip RUU
3. Don't skip the upper part in the guide, to relock bootloader if current bootloader status is unlocked.

There is nothing in ckpv5's instructions that say to open the RUU zip. I don't know why folks are always trying to do this.
The command "fastboot flash zip xx.zip" expects exactly that, an unaltered zip file to flash. Download, rename, and flash it, that's all. The zip file doesn't need to be unzipped or anything like that.
Once you mess with the zip, (which isn't actually possible without the HTC encryption key - and trust me you can't do it) you make the zip unsigned, which also means you then can't flash it with s-on, by definition.
So moral of the story, leave the zip alone (aside from renaming it) and flash it.

I can see how this part may have led you to believe something was wrong with the zip, and to further examine it (possibly leading you to try to unzip it). But as ckpv5 mentioned, this error is almost always a result of folks not having the zip file in the right location: either simply not in the right folder (same folder as htc_fastboot.exe) or more commonly you unwittingly named it "RUU.zip.zip" due to Windows defaults.
Do yourself a favor, and turn off the Windows setting to hide file extensions (which is usually enabled by default): Control Panel>Folder Options>View tab, and deselect the option "Hide extensions of known file types".

Ahh ok got you now. Sorry ...must have missed the part about the windows extension (misses bleating in my ear about getting this sorted and other nonsense ) Ill go back and have another look with out her around.
And yes I did the upper part of the guide. I relocked the bootloader.
Thx again for your help. I will owe you a lot of beers soon

In case the above not working for you, here is the easier one ...
1. Download the RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10_Radio_1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F_release_417003_signed.exe from http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8
2. Connect the device to PC (in fastboot/bootloader mode)
3. Right click the exe and select run as administrator, follow all the instructions, accept/agree, next, update, next, blablabla until it complete. (You need PC with USB2.0 and HTC USB drivers installed - I believe you already have these)
4. After reboot, setting up everything, go to settings - about - software update - do the checking, download, install OTA update.
There are many methods to fix your phone. Just try these two options first. I'll be travelling back to home in the morning (I won't be able to reply to any question that you may have during that time) and I'll be home in the evening and will check your progress.

Its alive...its alive i tell you
Guys...you have mine and the wifes greatest appreciation of what you have helped with. Thx for all your time and patience with me. It was just that damned file extension
If you guys are ever in the south UK at any time...let me know and ill buy you some beers
Thanks once again guys

KDDI Japan Marshmallow update FINALLY here!

Sorry about my absence, I've been having a $hitty time of things for a while.
AU announced it here a few days ago.
I've installed it and all is good so far except for one little problem. It won't pick up my SIM card. This seems to be my fault so I'll reinstall and let you know.....
Nice to have NFC back though!

Hi, can it work in Europe?
Tnx

I need to reflash my device to re-enable ota. But all the zips I found were corrupt?
Could someone help me find a working one? Or does someone have a working one available?

The ROM's are encrypted by HTC so can't be unzipped by regular methods. You can download Zip Repair ( HERE ) but it'll mess up files so you don't get to see a lot
It should install, it's the ones I've used. Are you using the right CID and MID for the version you're installing?

The CID and MID need to be changed to the appropriate values depending on whether you want to install the Taiwan or Japan KDDI.
The zips are HTC RUU.zips un-encrypted unlike what you're probably used to, so that means ony the phone can understand that.
(you can neither unzip nor flash from pc)
You can follow my guide, but use KDDI values, but first place the zip on the phone's internal storage.
Then instead of flashing, choose install zip from internal storage.
In my guide, you will also find links to the best servers to download both the KDDI and Taiwan rom zips.
If you have anymore questions, you can PM me.
[Also (to end this goose chase), if any of you want the zips for some reason, here are the links to the best servers:

They are now both correctly set.
I tried it again, but it failed again with the same errors.
Even tried to relock the bootloader, that didn't work either.
When I enter stock recovery I get some errors. Maybe those errors are the problem.

You should convert mid, cid your phone to Htv31, then flash rom stock zip by adb.
change CID:
fastboot oem writecid KDDI_801
change mid:
fastboot oem writemid 0PL210000
Flash rom stock HTC by ADB

I'm using the original Android 5 KDDI ROM on a rooted device with S-OFF and TWRP installed.
I get the update notification and it downloads the update. But when I choose to install, the device just boots into TWRP and nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, does the phone lose root with this update?

This should be the solution

The fool-proof way is to flash the images, but no one has posted/hosted stock images for the KDDI rom. Then you could follow my guide step by step.

The only thing I can try is yo really install from phone storage and not from sd card.
But one problem is, that I cannot copy the 2,4gb zip to the internal storage? It's probably too big. any solutions other than download it directly on the phone?
I will try this tomorrow to see if it works.
But it would be great if someone could just upload the images instead of a zip file. but probably no one has them?

If you think recovery image is incorrect, ask gixermouse for his recovery.win4 from his complete KDDI twrp backup. Change the suffix to .img, flash it, and you'll have KDDI stock recovery, I deleted mine because I don't need nor want nfc so the Taiwan rom is fine for me.

It was pretty stupid actually.

HTC M8 (GOLD) no wifi after rom install

I am really new to all this, long ago I rooted my phone (don't know how cause I was really clueless and just watched tutorials), so now I wanted to just update my phone, but they say I have to unroot my phone to have updates on my HTC M8(Gold OPTUS). So I went into recovery mode and accidently wiped the whole data, I cross marked System, data, etc. So now I have no OS, after couple while, I've managed to use my SD card reader and put the SD card onto the computer and download the Viper Rom. Put the SD card back into the device and I installed everything and it went smoothly. When I was testing everything out the WiFi was not working, I tried turning it on, it just wouldn't swipe on or even locate any other WiFi. So I've read online that I need to update my firmware, and in order to update my do that I need to go back to my original version and update the OTA? I'm not sure what they mean about that. The version that came with the phone was v4.4.2 KitKat. Thank you I really appreciate the help!! By the way my phone use to be S-OFF but after all this now it is S-ON

So I've read online that I need to update my firmware, and in order to update my do that I need to go back to my original version and update the OTA?

Returning to the original stock (unrooted) ROM and stock recovery (matching your current, outdated KitKat firmware) should trigger OTA (over the air) updates, which will update the OS and firmware. You will probably have several updates, which will eventually bring everything up to the latest Marshmallow version.
See the following instructions and files. I believe you want to restore the stock TWRP backup 1.54.841.8 and corresponding recovery.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Alternately, you can install firmware 6.12.841.4 using Post #5 of that same thread, then restore stock backup 6.12.841.4. (Post #4).
It also appears that in general, you need to slow down, and have a better understanding of the proper methods and processes before rushing headlong into doing something. Wiping things in TWRP is not the proper way to unroot (doesn't unroot anything). And its obvious to you now, wiping things without knowing what the results will be (system) was not a good idea.
Do yourself a favor, and take some time to read up, learn, and gain some real understanding. Do that before diving into any of the methods. If some things seem unclear, come back here and ask. YouTube is not a valid path to real understanding, and guessing how to do things, is a bad idea also.

I have followed the instructions and read through everything, but the problem is that I don't have any backups nor I have created any backup files.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, I clicked the link you directed me to it, found the backup version that was recommended, but in the instructions it says I need to have a folder name backups in the TWRP folder in the internal storage but I do not have one as I haven't created a backup

Ok, now I understand the problem. Next time, try to be more specific about what the problem is, what step you are stuck on, etc. Sorry, I misunderstood, and thought you were saying you had no backup to restore (when the link has all the files you need).
The folder structure is created by TWRP when you make a backup. Try going into TWRP, select BACKUP. Then just check the "boot" option. Its not actually important to make a backup of anything; rather to just force TWRP to create the proper folder structure, in which to place the downloaded files. And boot.img is the smallest thing to backup; you won't actually use the backup for anything, think of it as just a "dummy" backup.
After you do that, you should have the folder structure similar to indicated in the guide. Its based on your phone's unique serial number, so its not that easy to make the folder with a file manager, etc. (which is why I'm telling you to do it the way I just indicated).
Simply put, if the problem is that you haven't made a backup . . . then just make a backup!

The first method didn't work, I am trying the second method but it seems when I get to the CMD where i type fastboot flash zip fw_xxxxxx.zip, it just says can't load and now I am stuck on this screen, can't go into recovery or even boot info the OS. Any suggestion?

Please provide more detail as to why it didn't work. Step that failed or you got stuck on, error messages, results, etc. Describe your actions in detail.
If it didn't work, its mostly likely pilot error, which is fixable.
If you didn't get method 1 to work, I don't think method 2 will go much better. You'll still have to restore a stock TWRP backup after you flash the MM firmware. The only difference is that you are restoring a MM backup, instead of a KK one (and saving you from doing multiple OTA updates).

"Cannot load' always means that you either didn't put the firmware zip in the right place, or renamed it incorrectly (if you renamed it).
Again, I would need you to describe the exact steps you did, in order to figure out what you did wrong (and exact commands used). The file needs to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe, and the file syntax needs to be exact (a single wrong character will cause the command to fail). Did you rename the file? If so, to what?
I assume you locked the bootloader (per the instructions) which by definition renders the phone unable to boot (so this is a normal and expected result based on what you've done). I recommend to keep trying to flash the firmware to flash (figure out what you did wrong). Then you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, install TWRP, and the Marshmallow stock backup.

Sorry the first method I skipped because I thought it wouldn't work without the backup folder, I am doing method 2 and this keeps staying here target
reported max download size of 1830612992 bytes
sending 'zip' (31474 KB)...
And I'm on the gray HTC when I boot into fastboot oem rebootRUU screen
I'm currently doing method one now instead of two, when I created a the backup folder on checking the Boot, I look into the HTC and there is no Backup in the TWRP folder, Ahh sorry it seems that I cannot see it on my computer when I am in recovery mode but when I go to my actual OS I can see it and extract it.

OMG I LOVE YA!!! I LOVE YOU!! After freaking 4 hours of being clueless and stressed out, you sir have changed my life and made me the happiest man on earth! I really appreciate your help a lot! Everything is back to normal after doing method one! Once again thank you so much! Oh by the way, why does it keep updating and not install the update? It just boots my phone into recovery mode TWRP and when I turn my phone back on again, it asks me to install it again if i want, and it's installing the same update and update all over again, v4.4.3, not sure why?

Read the instructions thoroughly.
You need to install stock recovery to do update.
It won't work on TWRP.

Do as ckpv5 says. The man is wise.
Looks like I was off by one version (1.x versus 2.x). Since the OS number (main version in getvar) was wiped out (known issue with old version of TWRP which was originally used to root it) I was trying to go by the hboot and radio number. Hard to recall those old hboot and radio numbers from 2 years ago!

No Download-Mode__Possible Fix

Ok Guy's
In the last few weeks there are more and more people struggling
with their devices so I decided to make a thread about a POSSIBLE fix.
It seems nobody knows what happens exactly.. but at some point the
download mode is no more accessible and you can only enter booloader mode with the white screen.
And once more this is only a Possible fix....no magical repair for your defective emmc or something like that.
This should only be a little help for some of you guys I´m not responsible for anything.
You do this on your own.
If it works, a hit on the thanks button would be nice, if not sad to say but I think you have to
go to the repair center.
We are starting at the point that you are familiar with fastboot and have a correct setup with drivers etc. on
your PC. (If not... search the forum and read how to set it up)
Files are signed so they should be also flashable with s-on.
Steps:
1. Download the Package for your Android-Version :
Lollipop:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ts8tur5tkzv1o4l/0PJA_HIMA_L51_service_hosd_collection_900002.zip?dl=0
Marshmallow:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgw3hslknajl9kc/0PJA_HIMA_M60_service_hosd_collection_900001.zip?dl=0
Nougat:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2azzxi9q65iilsj/0PJA_HIMA_N70_service_hosd_collection_9000033.zip?dl=0
2. Unzip it and take the CORRECT hosd.img for your version. (best is... you know wich version you have)
3. Connect M9 in bootlader mode and flash with fastboot:
fastboot flash hosd <filname>.img
4. MAYBE now you can enter download mode again.
5. If you don't know what version you have you can try one file after another..
fastboot outputs only okay when the right hosd.img is flashed.
(try to boot to download after every file)
6. If no one work it's pretty sure that your emmc is broken.
There is nothing more I know or I can do for you
so I can't give more support after this point.
Good Luck

To everyone whos's searching for alternative/new download links:
You can find the hosd.img inside of the RUUs that are posted in the ReadMe thread. The decryption tool that is linked in its RUU section will help you to extract the needed file from the encrypted RUUs.
For being on the safe side you should only use files from RUUs that are matching your current firmware version. You can try to use the files from other RUUs with a similar version if there's none available for your current firmware/your SKU, though. However, never flash a CDMA file on a GSM phone or vice versa.

Hi guys,
maybe you can help me, otherwise I will open a new thread.
I got a M9 here from a friend that i wanted to fix.
Mode: Modified
S-ON
Bootloader: Locked
It began, that the Phone and SMS/MMS apps on the phone dissapeared until one day it didn't even boot up.
Can't flash anything because i can't access download mode or recovery mode, both say:
"Failed to boot to download/recovery mode" in red warning font...
I downloaded all signed htc one m9 firmwares from:
handy-faq.de/forum/htc-one-m9-firmware-ruus-otas-backups-stock-recoveries-t314182/#comment-2885828 and tried to flash every hosd.img file from the firmwares via fastboot. always got back "OKAY", rebootet but still didn't work...
Also tried to follow this tutorial:
handy-faq.de/forum/geloest-htc-m9-wiederbeleben-t320617/?page=1 and tried to flash the other files as well, but they always say "FAILED, cannot flash this partition in S-ON state" for example for aboot or other .img files...
Could you help me? Also read that some M9 have Storage Failures or problems.
I can't give you info of getvar all command in fastboot, because that doesn't work without download/recovery mode.
Thanks in advance!
Chris

There's probably nothing you (personally) can do. That looks like faulty hardware. The main problem of the M9 is the same that every smartphone with the snapdragon 810 is suffering from. Depending on the usage of the phone the soc is roasting the phone's internals. The latest firmware version fixes the overheating but it won't repair damages that got created while the phone was used with one of the older firmware versions.
If the warranty is still valid you can send the phone to HTC for letting them change the motherboard. The data on the phone is lost, though.

Hey,
woah that reply came fast, didn't expect that.
Much thanks for the info!
Yeah the app dissapearence and then the complete failure of the phone made me think of that too... but thanks for clarification!
That a subsequent update of the firmware does not make the board functional again makes sense, haha...
I will have a look if I/he can still get a change of the motherboard by warranty, if not i will gonna just put it into the trash bin.

Well, there's no reason not to answer if I'm around and have the time to write a post. (On the other hand it might happen that I don't have enough time for several days.)
It's a bit funny that Handy-FAQ is back online. That guest account that answered in the second thread you linked is mine. I left the site over a year ago and as far as I heard from my former fellow team members the site got shut down some months ago...

Hey there,
I will get a broken m9 (already paid for it) for less money which doesn´t start anymore after the update (to nougat?) but had no issues since 2 years like she told me.
I hope it´s only a bootloop, got not more information about that problem (owner has no clue about it).
I may need those files...
I think the newest firmware is installed so if i can´t access the bootloader, could you upload me this file?
I don´t want to restore stock, i want to unlock the bootloader and flash LineageOS and use it as daily driver.
My One M8 is a great phone but a cheap upgrade isn´t bad

All the other values for CID, MID and other stuff is blank when I do indivdual fastboot getvar command.
can I bring my M9 to life with any stock image flashing with Fastboot command.
If yes please let me know which stock image I use and how to flash?
Thanks

Good afternoon all,
Hoping someone can help me here.
*Keeps boot-looping
*Some reason i have s-on and it may be the thing preventing me to do anything through bootloader or command prompt
*When i go into recovery mode, it goes back to boot-looping
*When i put firmware onto an SD card and put it into my phone, doesnt register anything is on there or fails to install.
Is there a way to get s-off from bootloader or download mode, even command prompt?

I just flashed TWRP, then from there I installed supersu. Phone was successfully rooted. Then i lent it to someone for a day and he said "errr i went into some weird twrp program and then it stopped working". I told him specifically to only use it for Facebook, Messages and Calling but nooooo. He must of deleted my firmware, is this possible from TWRP?

No he can't delete your firmware from within TWRP, only the rom can be deleted. If you do as described above the phone will be flashed to 100% stock but beware, all of the info will be erased from the phone. As it came out of the box the very first time !

Can you try to reflash TWRP and enter it again. If that works you can flash any custom rom

I tried still a no go. Here is a video.

There is a thing that might work but to be honest it's a shot in the dark. You could try to flash the TWRP image to the boot partition. When the phone starts it won't try to start the boot.img but the twrp.img
Once you can reach the recovery you must flash a custom rom, that will reflash the boot.img to the boot partition.

Are you sure the 2PS6IMG.zip wasn't a corrupt download?

It doesn't matter where you got them from. Downloads can get corrupted coming from anywhere. I'm not saying the files supplied are corrupted, I'm saying it's possible that your download of the file(s) may be corrupted.
If a MD5 or other kind of hash is provided for the download, use a program on the PC or app on the phone to see if the hash if the file you downloaded matches the hash that's provided for the download. If they don't match, then your file is corrupted.
This is a very common thing and should be the first thing you should check, when a hash is provided, if you have problems with flashing anything on the phone.
I don't necessarily check the hash of every single file I download for my phone, but I do of the ones that are the largest and/or most critical. Checking the hash can save a lot of trouble of trying to figure out what's wrong when there's no possibility of getting something working because the download is corrupted.
I check the hash right on the phone because even if you download something on the PC and verify it's correct, when you transfer it to the phone it can be corrupted that way, too. I use @scary alien 's Android File Verifier (AFV) https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826001. It's also in the Play Store. There are also Android file managers that have built-in hash generating/checking capability.

Ok, here is a link to an image with all the files i have https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zlju4izi19a75a/IMAG0982.jpg?dl=0
Where should i start? I can do .img files and a few others, just not .zip files. I can't do a single thing in bootloader due to S-ON. what should I extract? What file in the extraction should I use and also where should I flash it to?
System?
Data?
Boot?
Recovery?
Cache?
Misc?
Thanks again, as soon as this is fixed, there is a donation coming to XDA Developers as a token of my appreciation.

I'm out of the blue here. If the 710 RUU doesn't work i don't know what would work. Usually the full RUU is the last resort to completely flash the device.

Bummer..... Thanks anyway.

Last thing i can think of is to relock the bootloader and run the full 2.42.710 ruu again. That's all from my end. Sorry......

This was after Trying TWRP again, When i boot the phone normally, i dont get the Developers message under my htc (still doesnt boot though) and I noticed that adb can't find my device which tells me USB degging must have been turned off before he ruined my phone. Any other possible way to enable USB debugging Through CMD/PowerShell?
If this helps even:
