Hi, so yesterday i got my brand new HTC One M8s and of course, i wanted to root it.
I've unlocked the bootloader (It is still S-ON though) but everytime i want to reboot into recovery (After getting into the bootloader) i see the splash screen and then 1 second later i get a blackscreen and have to reset it to factory defaults because it won't boot up. I've tried other versions of TWRP but none worked. I tried the All in One toolbox and ADB method, again no change...
Please help me out, this is driving me crazy

Hi all, so i have a particularly peculiar situation that happened to me the other day...I tried to root my rogers htc dream and i ended up failing but everything still booted and seemed to be the same..A few weeks later my friend was playing with my locked phone and activated a bug where the phone permanently locks and asks you for your google login information but doesn't accept it..Then when i rebooted my phone into recovery menu it was different then i remember (that is it was running cyanogen mod 1.2 JF)..i tried ot restore my phone but no go...then i tried to install a new mod (the new cyanogen mod) but it failed and now my phone is not booting past the rogers splash screen. I try accessing the recovery menu or the fastboot menu and both do not work/respond. What should i do? I need to get my phone working...the data on it is not important..i just want to get it rooted running android 1.6 donut...Thanks a lot everyone
Anyone? i can't access the recovery menu or the flashboot menu...what should i do?
Try posting in the Dream subforum where the people who specialize in that device hang out. The general forum probably won't yield much help.
hi people ;P
I tried to upgrade phone with the latest One Touch Upgrade app. During the upgrade process, app froze and stuck.
After this, it can't boot, stuck in the alcatel boot animation. Tried almost everything: nandroid restore via fastboot (2 or 3 different backups), flashing stock roms posted on forum, nothing worked. Only thing changed is that now it has T-mobile boot animation.
I got clockwork recovery but can't enter it in any way. I managed somehow to enter it once from power off state but accidentally i didn't have any backup image on sd then. I can't manage to enter it again, no matter which buttons i press with power button.
I would be really grateful if someone know any solution for my problem.
Hi all,
I've put my A&TT htc one mini in a rather funky state. I attempted to use rumrunner s-off 0.5.0, and got to the pouring 2 step where the phone failed to boot. I've ended up in a boot loop where the splash screen (htc one, beats audio) will show up and then the phone will reboot to the htc phone screen and stay there and won't boot into the rom.
I've flashed he following rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535024.
I've created a video of the behavior that can be found here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwtAhMkPF0etMUFxUzVoR1BXakE/edit?usp=sharing
I've tried reflashing the rom with the same behavior per @beaups reccomendation with no success, so I'm not sure what happened.
I do still have access to twrp and fastboot.
How can I get my phone back to a working state?
Thanks.

Hey guys! I would really appreciate some help.
My phone details:
- Htc one mini, European Version
- *Locked*
- *S-ON*
- Hboot: 2.21.0000
- Radio: 1.22.40e.00.07
- No root
- completly Stock (I think, it schould be on Android v. 4.2)
My story: I've sent this phone to HTC for a repair, because some application (dialer, hangouts etc.) continuously force closed. A factory reset didn't fix the problem and as it's the phone of my mother, i didn't want to unlock it and go with a custom rom. So I've sent it to Htc.
Unfortunatly, after 3 (!) failed repairing attempts, they sent me the phone back, but when I try to power it on, I'm stuck on the white Htc screen. Sometimes the phone loads until the htc screen with the beat sounds logo, but that's it.It stucks at that screen. I can't turn the phone on. Htc told me they wouldn't repair the phone anymore, because i've messed up something with the bootloader (wtf?!). It's the only phone I have, that I never unlocked...Anyway:
I'm able to enter in recovery (the black screen with the phone and the red exclamation point/mark), but nothing more.
So please help me to unbrick the phone. Any suggetion is really appreciate.
Thanks in advanced and sorry for my english.
Fixing it would be hard without unlocking the bootloader, maybe you can try to get a logcat and see what errors it gives

First of all, thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunatly i can't use adb, because, I presume, the usb debugging isn't turned on.
Unlocking the bootloader at this point wouldn't be an issue for me. But after unlocking it, what would you advice me to do?
Update: In the meantime I unlocked successfully the bootloader.
Uptade 2: Successful installed TWRP 2.7.1.0a
Update 3ROBLEM SOLVED..once installed twrp, i sideloaded a stock rom to my device internal memory and flashed it via recovery. After wiping cache and dalvik the phone rebooted!
Thank you LQi for your help.
Hello everyone, i come bearing bad news. Over the last few months my Htc One m8 on Verizon has been deteriorating slowly. I was running a dirty unicorns 4.4.4 rom with TWRP custom recovery on 2.8.4.0. Then, one day, out of know where, my recovery stopped working. I couldn"t boot into it no matter what i tried. So naturally I tried reinstalling it but it gave me an error. So I gave up on trying to install custom roms. Soon after, my phone began swiping and typing and opening apps on its own. This got out of hand very quickly so I decided to factory reset it. The reset was successful and I though maybe I could flash CWM over TWRP then re flash TWRP. So i flashed CWM and everything was normal there up until I rebooted into recovery. The recovery mode looked like the stock recovery and if i try to reboot, It sends me to the splash screen and wont load my rom. It just stays at the HTC screen with the red text at the bottom. I can get to fastboot mode but can't do much from there because adb doesn't pick up my phone. I've decided that ill probably have to get a new phone and use bluestacks until then. But any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
