Hey guys,
So, I have an M8_DUGL, S-ON, with hboot: 3.19.0
It is unlocked, but not S-OFF.
I can get to stock recovery; however, whenever I flash a custom recovery, it gets flashed successfully but doesn't work. It always takes me back to the bootloader page again when I press on REOCVERY. Anyone know why this happens?
I also do not have any OS installed at the moment, mistakes have been made and I wiped it out. So, I need to relfash it. However, it's been a real pain for me to find an RUU that works. I have a CID of J__15, and OS (supposedly): 3.33.401.6
Any help would bee really appreciated. Thanks
You will have to go through the root process again seems like you made a stumble in the process.. It happens go through it again and it should work properly but make a nandroid back up! Before proceeding!

Well, haha, I have nothing to make a nandroid back up with. I do not have a recovery and no ROM either. I was too tired, and messed up real bad.
So, my current standing is that I only have my sacred bootloader. I can access fasboot, but can't do anything more. Stock recovery works, but when I flash different custom recoveries, they just don't work. I've done many mods in previous HTC phones, so this is kinda weird to me why it's not working. Do you have any idea to why this is happening?
Did you use the same tool with the other htc phones? Or did you use a different one maybe you didn't root it properly.. If you can still access the stock rom. Try to root it again that's my best advice because it should work on the m8 I rooted one of my m8 must unlock the bootloader before anything tho and must root the phone properly this time.. Let me know if any other questions need to be answered

I can't access stock rom, ROM is wiped. I need to re-install it, but I can't since I can't get the system image, and can't use custom recovery...
Okay what carrier do you have? Ima see if my resources will find what your looking for.

Thank you
I do not have a carrier, it is an international variant. CID is J__15, Dual sim phone, M8, with a europe 3.33.401.6 ROM (supposedly).
Let me know if you need more information; thanks!

Good link. Not a toolkit, but actually doing it manually. That's the way I rooted as well. @zedomax has some really great tutorials for a bunch of different devices.

You can use the old nandroid backup 1.45.401.12 - TWRP Thanks to kakyyabata from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 and proceed with OTA again up to 3.33.401.6
Use the TWRP that support dual SIM. If I'm not wrong, the one link in my sig does. Or you read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-m8-dual-sim-european-version-t2816991
p.s I don't know what's the connection between rooting again with no OS problem.
You need OS then only you can root

No worries, thank you as well! Do you have a dual sim M8? If so, can you send me the link for the recovery you are using please?
Thanks
Are you sorted yet? I have a dual sim M8 and I used to use a custom recovery, but changed recently to the standard TWRP, which now supports the dual sim version. You can find that on the TWRP site.

Hello, thanks for your concern! So, for the moment, I didn't have the chance to reflash the ROM, but I tried this recovery: https://yadi.sk/d/cMN-N_2hWotAH and it worked. I will give the official TWRP a shot when I'm done with exams! Thank you so much, I'll update this post when I fix my phone!
Hi im not a total noob but I have never updated my phone as was looking for the simplest way to do so. I also have a few questions for when ive done so. Im currently on 4.4.2 rooted soff and have been advised to update so I can get a working kexec so I can install multirom properly.
will I need to reroot and unlock bootloader after?
Is there a risk of bricking.
thanks.

Sir if you were in rooted condition and gladly also in S-OFF, you're free to do anything , i mean rather than fallback to stock, just flash any custom rom you want but also flash it's correlated firmware.
Thank You

Thanks for the reply the reason I was staying on stock is becouse I don't know what Rom to use to suit my needs thats why I was going to try multrom so I can test a few. And keep all my apps and contacts till I change over.
Can anyone add anything further?

If I'm you, I rather update my device to 4.4.4 first as you're running the older firmware so all you can enjoy is simply CM based rom whereas the lastest GPE and sense based rom may not work properly since you're still using the older firmware.
Is it better for me to return to stock update everything and reroot rather than updateing Rom and firmware seperately

Easier way is to restore back to stock and do the OTA than root if need but I don't. I flash a custom recovery and make a nandroid backup and flashing straight! skipping root

Is it a more fool proof way to go back to stock?
Or better to flash fw from tarp I don't want to wreck my phone
Hi do I need to Unroot and flash stock recovery to do a its update or just flash stock recovery?
When I'm updated will I need to root the new Rom or just re flash custom recovery?

The easiest way is to get s off, then go superCID
You download the firmware zip, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip. Put that on your extCSD and boot into hboot.
That's it. Your phone does the rest.

Do you have s-off?
Or the simplest and fool proof method. Grab your nandroid backup (found in general section) and restore the backup and flash your stock recovery. After which please do a factory reset and try to search for OTA. It'll appear

Use a RUU will be easier for you. But beware, everything inside your device will be clean. So do backup your pictures and etc to your com before you use it.

I understand you not wanting to mess your phone. It is always best not to proceed if you are unsure.
I'm not sure what carrier you are on, but for the normal international model, you will want to download this firmware to use in the method I explained.
Some American carriers have different firmware, so if you on an American carrier, let me know which one and I will provide you with the proper download to update to 4.4.4
The best thing about this method over an RUU is that you won't lose any data.

Hi thanks for the help its appreciated. I have the UK and carrier is O2. Just so I'm clear after fw update all I need to do is update to a 4.4.4 rom? I do have HTC backup and a full tarp backup is that sufficient to restore my phone after thanks again.

Yep, that's right. The HTC backup I wouldn't worry about. They aren't as good as TWPR's. Flash the firmware from the link I provided, then install a 4.4.4 ROM.

Hello Everyone,
When i was in USA i ordered htc one m8 and it is AT&T phone i guess. Since i hate the AT&T apps in the phone i tried to flash a custom rom and i sort of succeeded. Yet i still have problem about it. Whenever i flash a custom rom form( http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-...opment#romList ) here its smooth and perfect first 1-2 weeks. No lagging no annoying problems. But after 2 weeks i am having lags (like slow app opening, late reactions, even freezing) It happens all the time, doesn't matter whichever rom i tried. And another problem is I can kill my battery in 2-3 hours just playing a game (lower than 500mb games). How can i make my phone stable smooth fast and longer battery life? (I love the room that i am using at the moment http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-...pload-t3064838) And i also started to consider that am i flashing the roms wrong??!
Please can somebody help me

Can you check your firmware version? It's in the bootloader menu(to enter it: restart phone then right after screen turns black hold volume down). Mine for example is 6.14.401.4. Also can you tell the name of the rom you use as the links you posted are not full and can't see it?

Your OS firmware is lollipop one, not MM. The best way is to search for RUU(MM one) and flash it. There is thread in the forum how to flash ruu and section for your variant. Beware: RUU will erase ALL your data(yes, including the internal memory) except the Sdcard!

Then you unlock the bootloader as you did before(should be locked to flash ruu it's easy done with fastboot relock command you will see in the instructions) and flash the custom rom. I did that. Was on lollipop firmware(4.16.401.10 in my case) and MM rom, locked the bootloader, flashed stock recovery(before locking the bootloader), flashed the ruu, unlocked the bootloader, flashed custom recovery twrp, flashed the desired new custom MM rom.
Check the instruction, I am not sure if it's needed to flash the stock recovery as the RUU flash that too.

You only need s-off to flash the recommended firmware for this ROM. If you have the right firmware, you never NEED s-off to flash a ROM. This ROM comes with a guide on how to bypass S-ON Write Protection-- a hack by Flar2. This isn't the same as a hard S-OFF
You should give it a try

I think you are confusing "firmware" with "ROM". While true on some devices, these terms are used interchangeably, its better to not treat them so on the M8.
On this device, "firmware" usually refers to a number of modules (hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others) not included in the ROM, but included in official OTA updates and RUUs.
Your firmware is Lollipop, as shown by your OS number (on hboot screen) or main version (getvar all). This doesn't change when you flash a ROM.
LP firmware should run fine with MM ROMs. Technically, its best to run MM firmware. But you can't update the firmware until AT&T MM is released, or alternately if you get s-off. And the changes in the firmware seem minimal. I'm running LP firmware with the 6.12.1540 stock ROM linked by another user in this thread, with no glitches whatsoever.

Big thank you inbound!
I wanted to suggest that it might be safe to try running a MM ROM with the LP firmware, but had no precedent to do so. Sounds like it is generally safe to do so, then :laugh:

You are correct, in that general rule of thumb is to update firmware to match the ROM. Especially having KitKat firmware with a LP ROM, which caused major problems (no WiFi, audio issues, no boot or extreme long boot times).
But MM ROMs in general seem to work fine with LP firmware. It seems minimal changes to the firmware this time around. I haven't seen any issues (at least not anything major or significant) reported running MM ROMs with LP firmware.
And for the OP's AT&T version, he can't update firmware unless he does s-off. So at least for the time being, I don't see a compelling reason to do that; and look at other options to help his performance issues.

If you don't know how to revert back to stock HTC firmware, you have no business flashing custom ROMs. Plus....did you even google your inquiry? No.
Search the forums.

Did you unlock the bootloader yourself? If so, you know enough about fastboot to relock the bootloader.
Also, if you do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number) we can see the CID, and determine what RUU (if that CID has one).
Or the other option to go back to Sense Marshmallow, is to restore a stock TWRP backup as suggested. Here is another thread of such stock TWRP backups, and this one has better instructions:

EDIT: Fixed the link above, which was clearly not the right one (intended for a reply to a different thread).

While the post was not particularly polite (nor is he required to be so), I do agree with the main point: if you are flashing custom ROMs, you really should have researched how to return to stock. I see that a lot of folks skip this (you aren't the only one, by far), but I also don't see why they do. Would you take apart your car's engine without knowing how to put it back together? Probably not.
Along those basic lines (good rules of thumb for phone modding), if you had simply made your own backup of the stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM; you could simply just restore that backup in order to revert to stock. It's a basic good practice: never do any mods (root, custom ROM) without first making a TWRP backup.

Thank you and yes. I should have known better before flashing an RR ROM I didn't search for it because i thought it was simple
But are you saying that i can download another stock ROM TWRP backup and flash it and i'd good to go or i have to get the right RUU ?

Modding phones is not simple. You should research and understand everything properly, before you do any mods to any device. Maybe all the YouTube guides and one-click root apps make phone modding look easy, but it's really not a trivial thing.
Maybe it's just my own personality. But to me, it's basic logic that you shouldn't tinker with an electronic device that cost hundreds of dollars, without having some backup plans, knowing how to undo the mods, etc.

You can do either (restore stock TWRP backup vs. run RUU). That is, assuming your version M8 has an RUU, not all do (and you haven't given any info that would allow us to determine that).
I already said that restoring a stock TWRP backup was an option, and it was also suggested by another (Post #8 above). So I don't now what you asked that question. Obviously it's something you can do; otherwise why would we say it was?
Keep in mind that a stock TWRP backup is not exactly the same as a flashable ROM. You need to extract the files, save them to the proper place on the phone, then use the RESTORE option in TWRP (as opposed to INSTALL for flashable ROMs). The process (and required files) can be found on the following thread (I tried to give this link above, but linked it improperly - so here it is again):

That's good. You can even try different Sense ROMs, not necessarily going back to stock ROM. :angel:

I wish I could try Resurrection Remix too. but unfortunately I cant use all of Naugat ROMs
Why dont you also try some of the ROMs other then pure M8 ROM, e.g. M10 Sense ROM etc? I am running M10 ROM and its fantastic.
I always be with the positive and jolly vibes and encourage others to be like this

Wow why can't you try Resurrection Remix ?
Where did you find M10 Rom ?? I'm curious
I just recently the a5 2017 and unlocked it but it still has some annoying vodafone features on it that i cant get rid of and wondering if its possible to replace the current stock rom with one that dosnt have any vodafone bloatware on it? (still stock rom though)
Error in title! Ment to say "Removing" not removed
It should be possible to install TWRP, download the stock ROM without Vodafone brand from a site like sammobile.com and flash it in odin.
Then install TWRP again and flash RMM-state-bypass.zip and no-verity.zip from the thread in this forum.
Sry to sound stupid but where about is the RMM-state-bypass.zip and no-verity.zip files and if they are needed or can i just flash without them?

No-verity.zip can be downloaded here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...velopment/recovery-galaxy-a5-a7-2017-t3815931
and RMM-bypass.zip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...ide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535/page77
Im not to 100% sure if those two zips are really needed.
Easiest thing is to just flash the Stock ROM in Odin and see if it still works like before.
Maybe read through some articles/threads before you start
