[Q] Erased OS. Tried everything I can. - Verizon HTC One (M8)

It is a Verizon M8. The other day I went to flash ViperRom onto my phone but was retarded and erased everything off of it (Which I'm sure you guys have seen 1,000 times on here) including the OS. I have adb setup and it works. When I try to push the rom through with adb it say's sending: xx percent. When it hit's 64% it fails and gives me the failed to write data protocol fault (no status).
I thought maybe it was the rom I'm trying to put on it to get my OS back so I tried a stock 4.4.4 KK rom and it does the same thing. Also when it's "sending" the rom to my phone, my phone does nothing. Been pulling my hair out for 2 days.
It is unlocked and S-off with twrp.

How for the love of god can I get my OS back?
FIXED IT. Just found the ARU wizard and that did it for me.

[Q] Install Custom Rom without installing to SD?

As my post suggest I want to know if there is a way to install a custom rom on my Tmobile HTC ONE S without moving it to SD. I messed up and ended up deleting the current rom I had on it. I have unlocked the bootloader, and I previously had Zydroid v3.5. Currently I am able to use CWM on it but there is no data on the SD that I can use. Thanks you.

Yea, that's my way of doing it. It pushes it from your computer to your SD Card so you can flash it in CWM from there.
If you have no /data/ on your SD Card, that's ok. I did the same thing. Once you get a ROM installed and working, you'll be fine.

I have spent the last 7 hours just trying to look through all threads to try to address this issue. Right now I am unable to send any zip file to my device through ADB. However by using the recovery tool in the ALL in One kit utility I can send a touch recovery .img file to my HTC One S. At first it shows error: could not find device but then the next line pushes that file with no issues.

Thanks for the replys. I acutally got ADB to work by using the mount feature in TWRP recovery tool. However now any custom rom I run will only crash and get stuck in continous boot cycle if I try to activate wifi. This whole issue started when my stock phone got an update two days ago, and it completely messed up my wifi. I should of waited and taken it to the T-mobile store but now its too late. I have unlocked, rooted and put a custom rom on it. I tried using the RUU file to go to 1.53 but i keep getting 155 unknown exception error. For now I will just have to use my phone without wifi till I have more time to look into this wifi issue.
U get the error cuz ur not using the right ruu for ur phone of ur Europe I can send u the ruu for ur phone

Conflicting RUUs...try the 1.84 and (if you want) root it again afterwards. Glad you got adb working.

Unable to locate 1.84 RUU, but I heard that a user named "football" has it but requires a donation. The next best step I think is to try a rooted Nanorid of 1.84 that I found in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698861&page=4. Ill try this when I have more time. Right now using Zydroid 3.5 rom which works fine except for my wifi. Loading my wifi will crash my phone and put me in a crazy boot cycle.
Alright so I have use a 1.84 rooted backup and successfuly installed it on to my phone. However I still have my wifi issue, also my blue tooth does not work. I also loaded the boot.img file from the backup through fastboot but still having the same error.
I flashed different radios, tried nanoroid backup of 1.84, but wifi does not work. Wifi stopped working while I was still on stock rom. In the end I paid 20 bucks for tmobile to ship me a new phone, hopefully I wont have issues and I will stay on stock rom.

When you sent it back you went back to RUU and locked bootloader, etc?
I haven't sent it back yet, I will be getting my new HTC ONE S in the mail in two days, and then I can ship my old phone back. Right now my phone is on a nanoroid back up of 1.84 stock rom with root. I tried going back to 1.53 but we dont have S-off so unable to do it. If i try to do that i get 155 unknown error in the RUU launcher. The t-mobile techs didnt know that my phone is rooted cause it basically is the stock rom. I have relocked the phone and I hope that the real techs dont notice that I unlocked the bootloader and it that its still rooted.
Im cancelling my order, some how my wifi works now. Yesterday I did a wifi radio install from europe, but it didnt seem to work. I also relocked the system and rebooted couple of times, this may have helped solve the issue as well.

RUU Question

So My phone is constantly freezing and rebooting in apps every 5-15 minutes and I am going to try going back to stock and seeing if this occurs. My question is do i have to wipe my current rom? Or do i only have to fastboot oem lock and run ruu? Help would be appreciated. Think it is getting worse..

Yes, just run fastbook oem lock and then run the ruu. Make sure that you have the latest drivers from HTC (use htc sync if you can). Good luck!
For ruu grab the appropriate one .... Relock your bl like you Saud and run the ruu from you bl mode ...no need to wipe anything the ruu will do that for you

Usually, the phone doesn't get detected if the drivers aren't up to date. Is it rebooting even from bootloader? You should be able to install everything from there, hopefully meaning restarts aren't an issue.

finally got it recognized and successfully ruu'd.It was very odd, like the phone was progressively getting worse for some reason.i am not not getting rebooted on stock rooted so it had to do something with my settings on the rom..like i said i under clocked and overclocked it, hot rebooted it, wiped cashe and dalvik...nothing was working and it finally just kept rebooting and freezing at home screen..Maybe a bad successful flash lol.. im not really sure.. or flashing over a bad flash had something to do with it..I might wait till jellybean comes out.
Have you tried to simply factory reset?
i personally like ruu'ing. i should do the same soon just to clean house. in the end it's pretty easy to get fluent on this phone.
i would say immediately after unlocking bootloader to ruu. i noticed some differences in the 1.85 to 2.20 ota vs the 2.20 ruu. it will also clean up any mess that might of been left on the phone. im also pretty ocpd =)
also htc sync imo is useless, i just use the standalone htc drivers haven't had any issues with them.
OP... What rom/kernel combo were you running?

Viper and beastmode. My phone was going nuts....froze at the start screen 3 times and reset it self into a bootloop, then went back to freezing when start screen appeared..one of the times all I could see is the notification bar but I couldn't drag it Down. Lots of other crazy stuff happened on it as well...to much to tell. But I heard cleanrom is pretty stable, do I have to wipe stock rooted(no custom Rom yet) trying to find a good one and do I have to flash boot IMG if I'm on 1.14 or is it Included in the cleanrom installer? Might try elemental with cleanrom..see how that works out.

Ugh am I bricked?

I've been flashing custom roms to my asus transformer for a couple years now so I'm fairly accustomed to the process. Now that my warranty has expired on my one s I decided to go custom to try and get a bit more battery life and performance from my phone.
steps I took:
unlocked bootloader successfully
installed twrp successfully
installed su and rooted successfully
changed to supercid successfully
S-off unsuccessful. I wasnt paying as much attention as I should have and for whatever reason I thought I had s-off
flashed maximushd rom
then attempted to flash the kernel for maximus obviously didnt work because I had s-on
then I was stuck at the point where my phone was basically a black screen and all I could do is get the buttons on the bottom of the screen to flash. Eventually I made it into the bootloader, twrp was gone or corrupted. Managed to reinstall twrp from fastboot and get it working.
within twrp I was able to push a rom into the internal sd and flash it (cant remember which one atm). phone restarted and was then stuck in a 30ish second bootloop of the htc quietly brilliant screen. tried a couple other roms which wouldnt flash. at this point I went home (i dont have a computer at my house, just android based tablet and xbmc box).
At home I got the idea the roms i'm trying to flash might not be compatible with hboot 2.15. I downloaded and tried older roms that would match my hboot of 2.15. Varying success on these but still unable to boot to phone os.
Here is what ive tried and what results i had with them:
zenrom_v1.05_2.31RUUbased.zip = Wont flash just gives failed message
Toasted_marshmellow-ville.zip = This one flashed, reboot phone goes past htc screen to the custom boot.img then endlessly replays the .gif (highly disaapointed at this point)
mdob_ville_bm_deodex_2.40.zip = phone stays off and can only get lights to flash if i hold power
Blackout_ics_sense_plus_RC2.zip = phone hangs on white htc screen
Anyone got any idea where I can go from here? Am i hooped or am I just missing something obvious?

Ended up bringing my phone to a shop which fixed it and installed a new power button as my old one was shot for $65. One thing he did which pissed me off though is install cm 10.1 instead of maximushd like i asked him. not that big of a deal but my signal is horrible now. with stock I used to get 2-3 bars in my rom now im lucky to get 1, and infront of my house where i constantly had full sigal i'm lucky to get 2 or 3 with drops of no signal and dropped calls. Is this because of the rom or the radio? Tried the ota update to 10.2 which freezes the phone on startup, then had to go back and get him to reflash the rom again. its a 10min walk each way and I'm tired of walking back and forth in the rain!

You don't need to be s-off to install custom rom's like cyanogenmod but you will need to flash boot.img after the rom is flashed.

Nah I'm s-on. I don't have a PC so not going to bother flashing a diff ROM because of the boot.IMG. I'm thinking my problem was because I never v flashed boot.IMG last time. Never had to do that before. Is it just an HTC thing?

[SOLVED] Flashing light, no screen...Help appreciated!

Hi All!
Recently i flashed TWRP and Cynogenmod 10.2.1 stable to my HTC Telestra One XL (evita)
I unlocked boot-loader
I successfully rooted
But I shut down once, and when i tried to boot, it got stuck in a boot-loop
Upon many retries, it suddenly wont turn on
when I charge it it only has a flashing red light but it wont even turn on, no screen not buttons; nothing!
And if I plug it in to my PC, the pc keeps sounding the USB Connected sound multiple times over a short period of 30 seconds to 2 minutes and then it gives off multiple shaky beeps
I hope this is enough info to let anyone help out!
Thank You in Advance
EDIT:
when connected to a pc it shows drivers is ready to use but tries to install QHUSB_DLOAD but fails and latest RUU does not detect
Thx again
What is the exact full filename of the ROM zip that you flashed? When a device is showing up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in Windows it usually means it's bricked.

a friend of mine tried to flash a file named "cm-10.0.0-evita" and it gave off a message saying that this phone is not rooted or missing supersu/ something along those lines
before that he wiped sd card (whole thing)...
and then it went off from there
NOTE: its a phone with mess with, but still want to fix even though its just a side phone we barely use....help appreciated

How did he try to flash it -_- these vague responses make it very hard to help. Bottom line is you can try pressing and holding power until the light goes off and then power and volume down to get the bootloader up, if that doesn't work you can try the evita jet tool to try to unbrick it. Bricks such as yours are not recoverable 9 times out of 10.
It looks like your only option is to get a jtag repair done. I wouldn't bother trying to do it yourself unless you're a fully experienced electronic engineer or the like. I'm not sure how many jtag repairers there are in Australia but I'm guessing Google should be able to reveal that information. Howdy from Melbourne.

he placed the cyanogen mod on the phones sd card, then he wiped sd card, after that he used the install function on twrp it gave him a message that his phone is not rooted and if he would like to root it, he accepted, then it rebooted into twrp, and he tried again to install, same message appeared and then he gave up and shut it down...(sorry for vague terms, please bear with me, still trying to learn the ropes of talking on this forum)
I gotta say, this is all very odd :/ How did he install anything if he wiped the SD card after copying it over? :/ hmmmm In any case, you CAN try he jet tool as per my last post before getting a jtag. You'll need a linux install or Bootable USB stick/CD/DVD though.
My guess is that the only thing he installed was SuperSU. That'd be why it booted straight back into TWRP.

Hi guys!
im back
I JTAG'd the phone overseas, and it came back, surely enough, working, but now another problem arises,
the guy apparently unlocked the bootloader, S-Off, and installed CM with android 4.3.1. the phone boots, everything is well, but for times from 10 seconds to minutes of usage it just turns off, the Hboot shows
***tampered***
***relocked***
any idea wth is wrong with it now?
it does not reboot from power menu, and does not do anything really since I cant keep it on for more than a few minutes at most. I cannot keep it on long enough to unlock the bootlaoder anymore, and I cannot boot into TWRP (as the guy told me he put it on)
da hell do I Do now? any help appreciated

There's only one way to run an RUU, and that's to connect your phone and initiate the program in Windows. You're s-off so all security checks are disabled.

I Just ran one, Unlocked bootloader, on Cm11 snapshot after re-root and all that crap done, should be alright now

Sprint version bricked?

Recently tried to unroot due to issues with the vibrate motor not working for any notifications or anything. Also, apps started to fail more frequently it was all just becoming a big headache. I had thought for sure I enabled OEM unlocking but at this point its obvious I did not. Currently I can not get phone to boot besides to the encryption page and no idea what pin code would be. I have tried everything imaginable under the sun. In adb I ran the oem unlock string which caused all these issues. If I try to boot into recovery I get the message "Your device is corrupt. It cant be trusted and will not boot". If I try to boot normally i get the message "Your device has loaded a different operating system" then boots to the encryption lock page. I have placed the RUU and other files and attempted the SD card way of running the files to no avail. Does anyone have any other advice to getting this thing back on?
Edit: this can be closed. I flashed nearly every file I could find but nothing would take. Doing it both the adb and SD card method. Finally, I found the zip that the phone finally liked and it finally flashed. OH man cant be any happier to finally have my baby back on. Anyone else become stuck in this issue, just do as others have said, find the correct zip, flash it, and all will be ok.

38 or 39 should work. The last octet doesn't matter as that is just sub version. So long as the first 3 octets match ie 2.42.617, your good to go.

Thanks shivadow for responding to my post. So I downloaded one of the one of the latest versions (from the zip variant link) and renamed it "firmware.zip" I am using ADB to do the process (https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048) and I get this error:
C:\adb>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
target reported max download size of 2399200000 bytes
error: cannot load 'firmware.zip'
I renamed it a couple other times and I still get that error above. My phone (U11) is in the download mode. Just for giggles when I type in on the command prompt "fastboot oem rebootRUU" I get to a screen that has HTC on it and says and the warning "Security Warning. If you flash this phone with any ROM that was not officially released by HTC you take the risk of releasing...." When I give the command to flash the zip file I get the same error as above.
I am hopeful that I can get this phone back to normal running status. I just need to get the right commands and files to do this.
I appreciate any and all help to get my phone back to normal again. Aloha.
Sorry just saw all the updates. Notifications turned off apparently. Since I was able to get phone back on I can say it's not like it used to. I've tried to run the RUU which fails every time. And my signal has turned to absolute crap; constant dropped signal and barely any LTE. So, I'm no help since all I've done is get the phone on but not working properly lol.

I'm in this predicament at the moment. I am not able to find the zip file with the same OS as my phone (2.42.617.6)
I am looking at this spreadsheet to locate the correct zip file. Could anyone help me, please? Thanks.

Aloha and thanks for taking the time to respond. Well you got farther than me as I was not able to get my phone out of trouble. Tomorrow will make two weeks since I sent my phone out to HTC. I just got the new HTC U12+ yesterday as I can't go without a reliable set because I need one for my jobs.
Next time if I do unlock the bootloader on any phone I will figure out how to do the process of rooting, updating, and not bricking the phone.
I hope you sort things out with your phone.

I'm not sure about getting further when it feels messed up still, ha. Yeah I get ya though, had the same experience freaking out that I wouldn't have a phone for work. Fortunately I had my cracked screen m10 that served as a backup until I was able to get the u11 to boot. I swear the last phones I rooted were less hassle than these more complex devices. Hope HTC can get it figured out for you.

I agree that the past phones were not so hard to unlock, root, update, and tweak. Now with the U12+ dual A/B slot partition and multiple files that are needed to root the phone it can be overwhelming.
I'm sure HTC will be able fix the phone but at what cost? I'm just waiting it out and hoping for the best.
Aloha!
