Hey guys,
So due to various reasons I am in a pickle right now and would appreciate any help I can get.
My M8 is currently running without a recovery. Hence trying to boot to recovery is not an option and I cant flash a recovery using command prompt as my phone does not get detected in command prompt. So far, I did not have any major problems except for a couple which I learnt to live with. However, as of last night, my phone refuses to boot. It has been stuck on the white HTC screen (it also displays the 'This build is for development purposes...') and I can't seem to do anything about it.
I hope to hear from you guys with suggestions soon.

Hi, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
I'm interested in what you mean by "crushed." Sounds like something physical was done to it.
At any rate, unfortunately, we currently do not have a forum (or a tag) for your device. but there is a general-purpose thread. Please go ahead and register for an account, so you can post i other forums. From there, you will probably have best luck with the foll.owing thread:

Yeah, it sounds like the internal memory got borked, and without adb your options are quite limited.
As mentioned before, I would explain your predicament in the above thread (I see you have posted there already, can just edit the post to add the predicament). There won't be much of an audience, but it is better than the general help thread (and you have the advantage of bouncing ideas off someone who has the same device as you).
Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Today i got one of my friends phone(same as mine) and i did a back up work from system recovery mode and then used it to restore on my phone but an error occured again saying 'checksum compare fail' when i tried to restore the back up file. And by the way i am not sure how to use the ADB so can u help me send an easy steps to use it? Or maybe a link to it will be good enough.
With all my heart i thank you for your kind support.

Not sure about the checksum compare fail (sometimes backups are specific to the serial number of the device), but here is info on adb:

Hello. I'm super new to all android hacking stuff in general. I just recently bought a Letv one max. Super phone i love it. But its so damn limited when it comes to all that hacking stuff. I recently tried putting it into fastboot but all i get is a penguin on the screen. The linux penguin to be correct. I have been looking everywhere online and no one else has ever had this issue which i find so damn strange. I have installed adb and whatnot and got the correct drivers. I also opened up the command thing and typed in the codes etc, but it wont go past the damn penguin!!!!! Also when i flash twrp its all in Chinese and i cant do anything because i have no idea what it says.
I hope that someone on this forum can help me out because im so stuck. all i have is recovery mode nothing else its so frustrating. Anyone any suggestions would be highly recommended. Thanks.

I tried to use this guide to on htconeroot
Got to installing the zip for SuperSU v1.30
The phone rebooted but it said SuperSU failed
Tried to install Update Super SU v2.46
Phone no longer reboots. It shows the white HTC One loading screen but then just goes very dark grey forever.
I can still access the white menu that comes up when you hold volume down and power
Can also access the TWRP screen, however I tried factor reset there and it didn't change, it still won't boot.
Can't take out sd or battery as metal case
Anyway not sure if this is meant to be in the HTC M7 category, a TWRP category, Rooting one.
I'm not sure if it is because the guide was for 4.3 and on 5.02 or what.
I don't really care about it being rooted so much as having my phone back. The only reason I wanted it rooted was to install the camera change that is supposed to get rid of the green tint.
Anyway thank you for your time. And I appreciate any assistance that can be given. I have spent hours trying to figure it out, but I am still confused and figure I am likely to screw it up even more
Thanks, looked some up but i'm not sure how I would get a ROM on it. No SD card, and computer no longer recognizes it.

Thank you, I have posted it there now also. Hopefully someone can, surprisingly stressful not having ones phone.
I bricked my nexus 5 by installing elementalx. I installed the right version and all. It was taking hours to boot it was staying on the boot animation. So i consulted a guide, like any other person. I wiped the partition that had android installed, as the guide said. But when it came time to use the ADB sideload feature that twrp includes, my pc will not detect my device whatsoever, adb or fastboot. I am freaking out. Please respond ASAP anyone. I have no OS installed now. All I have is TWRP. It was running 6.0.1 marshmallow.

I bought a 2nd hand SM-G920F. It was rooted and I really prefer an unrooted device to get the OTA. Anyhow, I went to unroot the device and it didn't go so well. It bombed right at the very end of the odin step. So I ran it again with the same rom. No luck. Right now I have a fairly expensive paperweight. I can get it to boot into recovery and download modes. I have TWRP installed on the damn thing, but the touchscreen isn't working. I can move files around with adb and fastboot, but I can't really get it do anything. I keep getting the waiting for devices thingy. It appears as if there's no OS on the phone right now, just a file structure that I can manipilate thru an adb shell. Any help would be appreciated.
