[Q] Did I buy a brick? (HTC M8, Swappa) - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Greetings,
(after careful searching of the archives) I still need some help.
I purchased a used M8 on swappa.com (not finalized yet, still haven't been able to boot the thing).
Was running Viper but couldn't boot past init screen - kept giving sense errors. so... I tried a couple of other ROMs loaded via SD-card (CM, Android Revolution) and both seem to install, then nothing. Reboot and only a faint gray screen. Unable to sign in. I can get back to Recovery but if I don't hold the down-volume at startup I get back to that faint gray screen.
Options? Suggestions?
Does OS- mean no OS is installed?

Thanks, --Greg--

Have you tried the RUU files Here? Thats the only other thing I can think of right now.

If u were running a Rom you should have no problem ruuing unless it is a hardware issue which hopefully it's not.

perfectly fine. in fact no need to ruu either. simply flash custom recovery and sideload a ROM through recovery.
If all else fails the ruu will fix it back up. Since that phone is s off and unlocked and still boots to bootloader you will be fine.

Thanks for the advice. Once I RUU'd it worked as advertised. - btw I chose option-2 (untested, but now it is tested) because I was having trouble with the HTC ABD drivers on my PC. After flashing TWRP was able to get a fresh copy of Viper on it.
Thanks again for the quick and helpful responses!

[Q] Won't go past HTC boot logo...

Hi everyone
My sister has a HTC Sensation Orange UK branded, running completely stock 1.50.61.1 software, without no modifications to the phone in any way, it is just as if it came out of the box. The other day the phone mysteriously stopped going past the boot logo... It turns on, white screen with green HTC logo, then within 10 seconds it turns off and back on again to the same logo, and continues until the battery dies. It does not get on the OS boot logo. The phone does however go into the bootloader and fastboot.
First step I took was download a 1.35.61.1 Orange UK branded RUU and tried to run that, knowing that it would probably fail as I was trying to go back to an older version, but I did not wanna do anything else first. The RUU for 1.50.61.1 is not available, and I have not been able to find it anywhere... When I run the RUU, I seem to get upto the point where it says "Sending Data..." and then it fails with an "UNKNOWN ERROR".
Next step , I unlocked the bootloader since the RUU is not available and if it is an issue with the OS/ROM, then I need to flash another. I unlocked the phone via HTCDev, and that worked fine. Phone is showing unlocked in the bootloader. Then, when I tried to flash a recovery, it looks as if works fine, but when I go to the recovery option in the bootloader, same issue... Won't load the recovery, and just keeps boot-looping. I tried CWM recovery via Hasoon's toolkit and manually through the fastboot command. It says sending, done OK, but continues to boot-loop.
Here is all the information I feel is necessary:
HTC Sensation
Orange UK Branded
Software Version 1.50.61.1
Unlocked bootloader
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000

Thank you everyone for all your help in advance!
If its in Warranty period, Try replacing it.
Sounds like a H/W fault to me..
That was my suspicion too... I am not sure if it is under warranty, I guess I can find out.
Is there nothing I can try from here?

OK I guess there is nowhere to go from here then. Lol
Thank you very much for your help!
Well that was my suggestion... I'm not a genius
May be some one in XDA may know a way out.
Anyways, go for Hardware replacement first.

[Q][HELP] HTC Sensation XE Boot Loop problem

I have a HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio that is currently locked into a boot loop cycle.
Before you all start telling me to look at this thread, or that thread, I KNOW that this problem has been on here before, and I have spent the last 2 days reading through what has been posted, with no success.
I am not a modder, I do not want to ROOT my phone, turn S-OFF, or unlock the bootloader. I have had this model of phone and been perfectly happy with it for over a year. Unfortunately my first handset had a touchscreen issue, so I sent it back to HTC (YES! I do realise what a huge mistake that was, NOW!! I don't need any more reminders) They sent me back another handset, but not without first beginning a very acrimonious relationship with me. The handset that they sent crashed, (I had only had it 2 days and hadn't done more with it than just put my contacts and music on it) it then entered a boot loop where it would load as far as the 'Quietly Brilliant', and sometimes the start of the 'Beats Audio' logo, then beep at me and try again. The first time this happened I pulled the battery, and left the device for about 30 mins and when I put it back together it worked. 2 days later it did the same thing and has never recovered.
I can get into the bootloader, and it displays:

I have spent the last 2 days scouring this forum and trying to get my phone to work again.
I don't want to modify my phone, but will if that's what it takes. The problems I have found it that most methods require me to 'Enable USB Debugging' or install CWM Recovery on my phone, which I can't do, or to unlock my HBOOT using HTCDev, which given that you need to register with HTC to use DEV and my current opinion of that company, is not happening, also from what I have read about the procedure I can't do it anyway, because I can't get into my phone.
The other problem I have encountered is in trying to enter recovery mode from bootloader, which gives me the green loading icon, then a red triangle, and nothing else.
I will admit to my absolute noobdom when it comes to this, and if I'm perfectly honest I would be happier if I had remained ignorant. I just want somebody to show me how I can get my phone to work again.
Thanks

Hi,
If you have an unmodded phone,just send it back again.
They have just sent you a dud replacement.
Do not accept it.

HTC sensation XE in bootloop
hi i have a rooted sensation xe, and when i installed the PAC-MAN rom it wouldnt boot up.
It just kept showing me the white screen with HTC in green letters, then go black and do it again over and over.
Ive changed the rom many times on this phone and had no problems until now and i cant seem to get out of it.
Ive come from the ViperS rom with sense 5 and when i try going back to that rom it still gives me the bootloop. even the backup that i made doesnt work.

Download an AT&T HTC One X RUU, run it with your phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, with it plugged in to your PC. If your touchscreen/hardware keys are still acting up, its a hardware issue which would mean the screen needs replacing.
Good Luck.

Downgrading touch panel firmware is only for AOSP roms as they cannot make use of the new firmware that was released and as a result, nothing on the digitizer works.
Sense roms are not affected by this. Just run an ruu and see if the capacitive/touchscreen work. If not, it's a hardware issue. If your capacitive buttons/touchscreen do work after RUU, then we can troubleshoot from there.

[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
im trying to find maybe the stock kernel, or another kernel stable for my device but cant find one good, where can find ??
It's a hardware issue.
There are a few kernels in android development section. They're all good.

RUU stock done, works good, but the problem still, the other rare thing is there i see the same kernel, the RUU do not changed the kernel im saving a hope maybe changing kernel will fix this....

S-OFF still possible anymore with latest phones?

I had a phone replacement done after my power button stopped working properly, and the latest phone comes with what appears to be the latest firmware and latest everything.
Is it possible to still get S-OFF anymore or did they disbale that all too well?

I tried to downgrade via different RUU's to lower firmware's but the HBOOT and Radio versions stay, only the software version downgrades.
I can easily always get back to Unlock Recovery, install Teamwin, and SuperSU for stock ROM afterwards.
I have tried all of the following with no success:
-Moonshine
-Rumrunner
-Revone method
-FacePalm method
I am sure I am doing all the steps right, got latest HTC driver, only via USB2.0, NO AV, no Firewall, and it just won't work. The furthest I got was with Rumrunner and after pouring first time and a few extra steps I got a WTF are you doing message.
So is it possible anymore, anything else I can try, or is it a dead cause?
Thanks for any help!!!

Sounds almost exactly like what happened to me. I could unlock boot loader, install TWRP, then even got superSU going. But couldn't do much more until I got my phone stuck in the HTC logo with red text boot loop.
I guess I will try either moonshine or firewater. Will let you know.
OK, you are not going crazy. Moonshine and firewater do not work. Tried them both.
Firewater crashes out of the adb shell.
Moonshine gets stuck on waiting for fastboot Try 3)
I give up.

I know how you feel, every post that reports success basically directs you towards an older RUU so you can be on a different HBOOT, BUT, that is no longer the case as older RUU's will install OK - however - will only change the base software version, the HBOOT version remains the same now. Whatever they did to lock down the latest build they Nerf'd it good, unless a new exploit comes out I am afraid we are stuck.
What sucks is even after getting root back on stock ROM you don't truly have full control, I tried to delete some apk's and they are read only. Will try to mess with it later, I already invested way more hours than I care for on this thing.
Well I have a matching HBOOT I think. 2.15. In addition, there's a post saying it works - but it doesn't.

I thought maybe Windows was somehow just in general the problem, so just tried in Ubuntu off of a live USB drive.
I got up to step 2 and after "Waiting for Device", next line "Device detected....."
got an "ERROR: ADB failure" and then it stops and goes back to default prompt
I think I officially give up
I almost want to pay the local expert $75 to s-off just to see if it could be done, but I did say "almost".
Not worth it.
What about the all in one tool that was discussed a while back?
bb
OK so I have read that moonshine getting stuck on "waiting for fastboot" Try 3) could be because of antivirus or firewall/internet security.
When you see "................................." forever etc...
Maybe try and disable these???
I don't think you're waiting long enough for Moonshine to finish. It took longer than three tries on the two phones I've done it on.
OK, finally got S-off
Thanks to a friend who is well experienced in the filed, here was how...
First, had to go to RUU: RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2
I was on 3.14.531.17 but it was too locked down to do anything
Then, after reboot, NO SuperSU, No sending a custom Recovery to the phone, just Dev unlock bootloader
Boot into normal stock ROM and run moonshine, worked on Win7 Pro 64bit with Firewall enabled and Symantec ver11 Corp edition both running on PC, of course latest HTC drivers
I think by sending a recovery and running SU somehow screwed it up, it was the only difference
I'll leave the RUU on my website for those whom need, not sure for how long though
http://d-innovations.org/RUU_Ville_....30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe.7z
WOW you got it working!!!!!! COOL! I may try it again!
And for the other poster -yes, my screen was filled with "................................" many times.
Thanks - downloading RUU now - please leave it up for a little while longer.

I just realized that this is the RUU I have been using. I have it on my laptop already. So you say no SU, no custom recovery, just unlock the bootloader and boot into the stock ROM? I have the WinDroid HTC ONE S Toolkit and Rumrunner and Moonshine. I'm going to try the Toolkit first, then Rumrunner, and then finally Moonshine, since you say Moonshine works and it's basically the same as Rumrunner as far as methods are concerned. The toolkit may, however, do something different. Who knows. Here goes EVERYTHING!
[EDIT] I did get it working! Moonshine is the only one that worked. Maybe because it's more specific to firmware, rather than only device. I'm now moonshine S-OFF
So now another report of it working?
I guess I should try it BUT I'd like to hear from you guys on how/what ROMS you got installed AFTER the fact.

Here I posted a tutorial for obtaining s-off that is a little more in depth: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652601
I'm currently running Android 4.4.2 thanks to Dirty Unicorns AOKP ROM based off Omni-Rom. The link to that ROM is in my signature. Just click on the ROM name and it'll take you there. There are only three bugs on that one. No capacitive lights (not a big deal), No native torch app (down one from the play store), and wifi tends to act up. It connects to wifi and works great and tethering works too. But it has a tendency to disconnect while unused and take a little bit of try, try again to get it to connect again. Other than those, it's my daily driver. My wifi has been spot on for the past few days. But it's hit and miss.
I pretty much have the same question. I have an unbranded European HTC One S model.
version-bootloader: 2.15.0000
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
platform: HBOOT-8960
modelid: PJ4010000
cidnum: HTC__E11
Managed to unlock the bootloader (via HTCDev), flash TWRP (2.0.33 cause members said newest wasn't stable/caused problems with CM11) and Root with SuperSU. I haven't flashed any custom ROM yet. Software info shows version 3.16.401.9
Unsure if I should proceed with any of the S-OFF methods (Facepalm, Moonshine, Rumrunner, firewater) right now prior to flashing any custom ROM. It seems most people who have tried these S-OFF methods have used them in combination with US models. Advise would be much appreciated.

[Fixed]Can't update to 5.0 Bootloader stuck

Hey guys,
So I have been looking around for about 3 days and can't figure out what to do. I was rooted a while ago and tried to go back to stock for updating to 4.4.4. Now I am trying to get to 5.0 and this is what I am dealing with. The phone keeps booting into Bootloader no matter what I do. If it's plugged into a PC or charger and I try to charge while off, it goes right in. This what I see:
*** Software status: Modified ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*Security Warning ***
MS_WLV PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0006
RADIO-1.09.20.0926
OpenDSP-v46.2.2-00564-M8974_FO.0811
OS-
eMMC-boot 2048MB
sept 30 2014,01:16:07.0
If I try to use the recovery it just loops back into boot loader. I am extremely frustrated at this point and am about to just break the darn thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do I have to use sunshine to unlock everything again just to lock everyone up?
Thanks in advance,
Cameron

Yes, I was s-off before. I tried following the HTC one m8 all in one toolkit to go back to stock and that's how (I guess) I got to bootloader relocked. I was trying to get my phone to let me go to 5.0 but after the OTA downloaded and would restart for the update it would go into bootloader and sit there.

You sir, ARE AWESOME! I know I came across that thread before but I saw the requiring S-off and just kept moving without realizing it said to DOWNGRADE. That worked wonders and got me all setup. The lollipop upgrade is going. I was about to through this thing through the wall.
