Hi
I have been using MIUI custom ROMs for quite some time.
I am using 4EXT Recovery Touch with SMARTFlash ON and my device is not S-OFF
Yesterday I installed the latest version (full ROM) and these are the steps I followed.
1. clear dalvik+cache
2. format all partitions (except sd card)
3. installed new ROM
4. Reboot
Now it is stuck at the white HTC logo screen and is not moving past that screen.
Then I tried to reinstall the previous version of the ROM which was working on my mobile that dint help either.
Also later I tried to restore my existing backup by clearing the dalvik+cache, formatting all partitions and then restored. This also dint help..still stuck at the htc logo screen.
Can you please help.
Thanks

i think you need to update your 4ext recovery version
also try to flash the boot.img via fastboot command
I am not sure, but for fastboot to work we need to have the USB debugging options working isnt it? Since I flashed the ROM now. I am not sure if fastboot would recognize my phone. As I said I am not sure, I will try it out and let you know. Thanks for the help

You need to flash boot.img everytime that you flash a new rom.
1. Extract boot.img from the ROM you want.
2. boot into recovery, select fast boot
3. In command line type: fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter] (in folder where you installed fastboot)
thats it!
should we flash the rom afterwards

you will see the boot.img included in the rom.zip
extract it and place it in your adb/fastboot folder on your pc
boot your device into bootloader and select fastboot
connect it to the pc
open a cmd window in your adb/fastboot folder and type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Iv tried every thing you told me sir ,, didnt work ..
but i solved the problem by deleting 4xt folder in the sd card and deleting boot files ... i flashed the new rom ,, and it worked
thank you sir for helping me ,, really appreciated .
can i fastboot flash a rom or other zip? i've run into a problem after flashing a rom that wont boot and twrp wont mount data or my internal storage so i cant flash anything else. any help would be appretiated
I dont know how to do it, but have heard you can use the sideload feature of the twrp recovery to flash a rom. Or you could try flashing the new twrp recovery if your not on the new one. The new twrp 2.8.0.3 recovery was released on 9-30-14 last I checked its not updated on xda yet but you can get it on the twrp recovery web site which its on the link below, its the newest one on the bottom of the list.

worse case scenario, run the RUU, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then install ROM in recovery.
Honestly, you might as well apply the whole RUU and get yourself back to a working stock before putting another custom ROM back on. Follow the OP in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2873144
I tried every method possible and none worked, I recently cracked my screen so I just took this as a sign and went ahead and got it replaced with insurance. Thanks for all the suggestions

Are you using the correct Vzw version of twrp or cwm?
Yesterday i tired to install Miui 6 on my HTC One M8, so I did everything usual, backup, wipe, install... but it didnt work so i tried Philz recovery and the installation worked perfectly, but it was stuck in boot screen and MIUI didnt work. So i wanted to restore my backup, but to do this i needed TWRP. In Philz recovery i found no way to flash .img so i took a zipped version of twrp and i flashed it but i when i go into recovery it throws me back into the fastboot screen. I already tried to flash a recovery through hboot (0P6BIMG) but it says: wrong cid number, installation failed. Now my question is how can i get a recovery with s-on? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
edit: i cant do if through fastboot usb, cause i cant enable usb debugging

you need specific twrp recovery for your device and flash it in fastboot
You can have custom recovery with S-On

You don't need to enable USB Debugging you just need to flash it in fastboot....

Here you can get twrp for your specific device.
I'm screwed. I attempted to install an updated TWRP, so i selected that option in ROM Toolbox Pro. Everything installed correctly (TWRP 2.7??). I decide let me see if TWRP installer will replace that with the updated 2.8.5. I run TWRP installer and it installs correctly. My assumption was that the TWRP installer would overwrite the ROM Toolbox version. Well, i reboot into the 2.8.5 recover (like it suggested) and i hit Reboot and then it reboots into 2.7. From there it thinks there is no OS installed. Rebooting from there just reboots me back in 2.7 recovery. I can get into Fastboot, and then back in 2.8.5 recovery. I flashed a new ROM, but that didn't fix it. I attempted to flash an RUU but i can't seem to get that working either. Am I completely screwed and should i call insurance on it?
Help me XDA, you're my only hope.

To solve this, you could get phone into Fastboot and flash Dottat's RUU for the M8 - he made several versions.
For sure, add HTC_Fastboot.exe to your ADB folder and use it, NOT regular fastboot.
It will overwrite your previous recovery with stock and fix your phone. Then later, you could flash TWRP 2.8.7 thru Fastboot.
I put Dottat's RUU on my external SD card and it loaded, however, whenever it goes to reboot, it still goes back into the wrong recovery.
It's probably not necessary to run an RUU. You incorrectly flashed the new recovery to the wrong partition. Flash the new recovery VIA FASTBOOT, boot into it through the bootloader screen, and either flash a rom or restore a backup and you should be good to go. You definitely don't need to be worrying about an insurance claim for now.
Edit: by VIA FASTBOOT I mean with the command fastboot flash recovery <nameofrecoveryfile>.img

I would flash firmware or ruu, if indeed he flashed recovery to wrong partition, that partition needs the correct one which firmware wlil do, and ruu will 100% do.
Personally I'd run ruu, go to stock recovery and run a factory reset.

Gotta use ADB and HTC_Fastboot.exe
Thanks for all the tips. I tried re-installing the old ROM after I ran the RUU and it worked. Hopefully it cleared out the incorrect recovery. Lesson learned: don't use apps to update the recovery!
Again thanks for all the help!

Twrp manager is not a safe way to flash recovery because they aren't flashing by block name yet. They are still hard-coded to block number. The partitions have changed during ota already...so the app does hose things up a bit.
