[Q] verizon htc m8 refuses to flash custom rom. help!! - Verizon HTC One (M8)

hey guys
I use a verizon HTC one M8 (unlocked and S-OFF) running kitkat 4.4.4, Os 3.28.605.4 and Hboot 3.19.0.0000.
I have downloaded different roms (skydragon, Nusensesix, clean rom) and tried to flash my phone but i keep getting error messages when installing. I always check downloads (MD5)
Error ......could not open binary zip
error.......file corrupt????
etc
Adriod developer (hit 7 times--->USB debugging checked)
i flashed TWRP 2.4.8
[fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img]
Backup using these three methods; HTC sync, Wondershare and TWRP
Boot to recovery, wipe (Swipe to factory reset) ------> completed
Install custom rom (NuSenseSIX-444-m8vzw_v4.02_102414, CleanROM-3.0, NuSenseSIX-LP-m8vzw_v5.2_011515)
when i try Installing, .........it's either i get .....................................error:/ could not open binary or file corrupt.
I have formanted my SD disk more than five times. Have updated anti virus on phone and PC. Scanned SD drives for virus but found nothing. Have 2 SD card. One 2GB and 8GB
I really don't know what the problem is. I am just confused like what did i miss.

I'm no expert, but first I'd ditch the anti-virus on the phone. It's largely useless on account of how Android works. Second, I'd do more than a factory reset. I'd do an advanced reset and check the first 4 boxes, including /system, especially if flashing to GPE or Sense lollipop. If the anti-virus won't let you wipe /system, that's your problem. If it does work and you still can't flash, I'd reflash the recovery.

Deleted Operating System

Hello,i accidentally deleted my operating system,i tried everything to flash a new one ,every custom roms out there.
The TWRP version is 2.5.0.0
Everytime i execute the ZIP files from TWRP errors appear :
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/BackToBasicsV2.zip'
Error executing updater binary in zip : 'sdcard/BackToBasics'
Could you provide me a working tutorial?I tried every tutorial from here and nothing worked,i don't know what to do anymore.
I had a similar problem in which I accidentally pressed factory reset in bootloader instead of recovery (WHY ARE THEY SO CLOSE?!). Anyway, I ended up having to factory reset from recovery and wipe everything on my phone, then I adb pushed a rom to my phone and it finally let me flash it. Although I recommend waiting until someone else posts something as this is more of a "last resort" lol

Connect your phone to your PC find it in devices and format it... Download twrp 2.3.3 recovery image and install it with fast boot.. Then paste a ROM to your SD card and flash away NP...don't forget the boot.IMG when flashing your new ROM it will have to be flashed with fast boot also..

Evita download isn't even on that page -_- Are you using an evita htc one xl? If not, wrong forum. If so:
download a rom from this Forum section, if you like AOSP, there's a bunch to choose from in Original android development.
download twrp 2.3.3.1 do not use any version above 2.3.3.1
Check MD5 of your downloads, make sure it matches.
Reboot to bootloadrer
fastboot flash recovery twrp2.3.3.1filename.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Select recovery from bootloader
Mount USB storage
Copy your rom over.
wipe cache, dalvik, system, factory reset
Flash your rom zip file
If you are S-OFF or your hboot < 1.14 reboot you're done.
If your hboot >= 1.14 and S-ON extract the boot.img from the rom you downloaded
reboot to bootloader/fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img (the one you just extracted from the rom)
I wasn't going to help you at first because this EXACT post is created at least once a day and is easily fixed by reading and understanding what you're doing. Hopefully this is a wakeup call that you should not be rooting your phone without knowing at least the basics.

Can't Install any ROMS

Restored the Tablet TF101 back to stock rooted and everything worked. Installed CWM Did factory reset system wipes etc. Tried to install 3 different CM 10 all failed bad installation. Tried to installed the newest TWRP same thing I can't seem to install any rom from the external or internal just keeps saying bad?
What errors did TWRP tell you?
For TWRP why not download the GOO app from the playstore and find the option in the menu to allow it to install the open recovery script for you?
Had similar issues with my S4 with a particular rom but youve tried a few so i doubt its down to the download sites.
You may have to format the emmc and see how that goes as a last resort. (just make sure you have a rom placed on a micro sd as it will completely wipe the TF again but still keep your recovery)

Stuck: I don't know where to start to change my ROM

Hello.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 , GT-P5110, Android 4.1.2, JZO54K.P5110XXDMC2
I have a virus in the SYSTEM. I need to erase and format /system. User data wipe did not help.
Here is a screenshot of my recovery: I don't know where to go from here: I don't understand how to update to a more recent TWRP. This one won't let me change the ROM (only wipe user data). Odin does not seem to see the device. I did not find how to boot Fastboot partition. I only have this recovery screen, and a working adb shell. I have spent hours reading tons of thing; all dead end roads. Because Odin does not see the device, or tutorials don't explain how to update recovery from the point where I am.

The last unvisible line is : apply update from cache.
Get Rooted, install custom recovery (twrp is the only one being kept up to date) from odin. flash stock firmware, or try a different rom.

Still on 4.4.2 official but rooted. Update???

Hi,
I have a note 3 still on official 4.4.2 but rooted. Since a few days my battery starts draining fast. Maybe it's time to update. Or is it not profitable for such an old device to upgrade to whatever the latest version is?
What is the latest official version for the note 3? And what is the best way to get that? Just unroot and use the update from the system?
You could use a different kernel or try a custom ROM.
Well a few years ago I was change roms constantly on different phones. That was 3 years ago. Now I am not into roms anymore just need a stable phone. Besides I have really no clue how the room installing these days work. Just install from zip in recovery?
Can I do that safe from 4.4.2?

Yes, but you would have to update your bootloader and modem through Odin first for Lollipop and Marshmallow based ROMs to work and boot on your phone.
Running Kitkat bootloader won't make your phone bootup on Lollipop and or Marshmallow based ROMs.
You need a custom recovery of course before flashing a ROM ; TWRP , CWM or PhilZ
(TWRP Method)
Factory Reset your Phone.
Clear Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data.
Do not select Internal Storage and Micro SD card, if you do, storage on both internal and external storage would be erased.
I recommend using TWRP 2.8.7.0 as the latest version which is the 3.0.2.0 does not support Aroma Installer.
After you have Factory reset and cleared dalvik cache, system, cache and data.
Now do this
1) Boot into recovery
2) Flash ROM
Done.
With SuperSU ;
1) Boot into recovery
2) Flash ROM
3) Flash SuperSU

OK the so I have to flash 2 times the same rom? Which is the best rom that comes closed to an official untouched one?
I don't understand how to flash the bootloader. Is that installing from recovery? Using install from zip?
For installing bootloader and modem you have to flash with odin.
If you search google then you can find the method how to do it and for bootloader and modem search any latest version of custom rom.you will find the links.

In my opinion i would say flash lollipop firmware first before you should root it all by odin

Flash bootloader and modem on Odin, it doesn't matter whether you are on Kitkat.
SM-N9005 bootloader and modem :

Steps before installing a ROM:
1) Download both bootloader and modem from the link given above.
2) Switch off your Phone
3) Boot phone into Download mode by pressing home button and volume down button
4) Connect phone to computer
5) Open up Odin
6) Click on BL and select BL_N9005XXUGPOK2_BOOTLOADER
7) Click on CP and select CP_N9005XXUGPOK2_MODEM
8) Click Start
-----------------------------------------------
Once done, here's how to install a ROM
You have to download a ROM and STORE IT INTO YOUR PHONE before doing this
1) Download TWRP 2.8.7.0
2) Connect phone to computer
3) Open up Odin
4) Click AP, browse to where you have stored the TWRP file/zip and click on it
5) Press Start
6) Switch off Phone and boot into recovery mode by pressing ; Power button, volume up, home button at the same time. Hold it till you feel the phone vibrates twice.
7) Wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data and FACTORY RESET.
DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE AND MICRO SD CARD.
8) Flash ROM
9) Reboot
-----------------------------------------------
Installing a ROM depends, if it doesnt have GAPPS you have to download it.
If it doesn't comes in with SUPERSU you have to download it. Example ;

Flash SUPERSU

Don't forget to backup ur whole nandroid before do anything n save it to ur drive computer, trust me
U can use twrp/cwm or flashfire
Stay on 4.4.2, reset to factory, backup first, your battery will be even worst on Lillipop or Marshmellow.
Get a new battery
Just update to 5.0.1, if you still have issues, flash a rom. Also this should've been posted in the Q&A section, or a search would've worked.
Ok I updated now to lollipop thru kies. All went well. Thinking about upgrading to Marshmallow.
