Hi, A friend gave me a Verizon HTC One M8 that was softbricked by a failed attempt to root or modify the device. I am unable to find out what the original owner did to the phone.
The phone will get stuck on the HTC logo for approximately two minutes and then reboot. I can get into the bootloader no problem, but the recovery and the factory wipe options go to the HTC logo and then get stuck at a black screen with the backlight on for approximately two minutes before rebooting. The command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" goes to the same HTC logo for approximately two minutes before rebooting, fastboot is unable to see the phone in this mode.
Because the bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked because it is a Verizon, and the phone is S-ON, I am unsure how to fix the phone.
I have attempted to use RUU from a microsd card numerous times with the RUU images from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845. the 4.4.4 one appears to complete successfully, but still bootloops after restarting.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I think (a redacted version of) the output from getvar-all would likely be helpful to see what state your phone is in and determine how to best resolve it.
Thank you for your quick reply. I have attached the "fastboot getvar all" output:

Well.....if you send that puppy to me I can s-off an attempt to reflash it for you. Not sure what else you can do with an s-on phone that you cant talk to in ruu mode.

While I appreciate your offer, I would like to try and resolve this without sending it out unless I really have to. Is there anything that you can think of that might work for me?
While I am unable to get the phone to boot into RUU mode for fastboot, I can get it to flash the RUU from microsd. For some reason it is still unable to boot after this. Is there another image or something I am doing wrong?
Thanks again for the help.
After you ran the ruu from SD did you attempt a factory reset? BTW, not sure if this helps your comfort level or not if it comes down to it but I have s-offed more vzw m9 than anyone. All done via mail.
Edit...and I would be more than willing to take a look remotely using team viewer.

When I attempt to do a factory reset, the HTC logo comes up and goes to a black screen for about 2 minutes and then bootloops. I am unable to format any partitions using fastboot and the only one that erases is cache. The big issue is that it is bootloader locked, otherwise I would have just flashed TWRP. I will contact you in private about that teamviewer help when I am at my computer. Thank you for the offer.
I thank dottat for all of his help over teamviewer.
Unfortunately, the phone has a locked emmc and is completely bricked.
Thank you everyone on this forum for your help.
So I'm having an eerily similar problem. The thing is I wasn't trying to do anything to my phone, it just randomly got stuck in a bootloop. I haven't tried anything with the RUU because I assumed it wouldn't work with verizon (I'm very new to all this) so I'm going to try later when I get the chance. What's the process to find out if the emmc is locked?
When I flashed a RUU with a newer version number then the one on it, after a reboot it would still be the old version number as if the flash did not take.
Which version number am I looking at? I know how to flash the RUU but I don't know exactly what I'm looking for there

I tried a couple different files listed, and one seemed to flash correctly. I hit the update now option and now my phone won't turn on at all, no bootloader, no nothing. Bricked completely or am I waiting for something to happen??
Try charging up the phone for a bit. If that doesn't work you may have bricked it
yup, got bricked. oh well.

nope, there is absolutely no response from the phone. Tried the battery recalibration thing and every other combination of things I can think of. I will leave it plugged in over night to see what happens but it was plugged in for a few hours today and nothing happened.
Attempted GPE conversion from VZW M8, no bootloader, no root, no adb, etc.
Not sure what to do at this point, have been to 10 different posts on ways to get this back to stock, or even usable and I cannot come out of this alive.
When I start up the Phone, it goes to the HTC One splash screen, then restarts, goes to it again, then goes to the Stock Recovery Screen with the Red Triangle.
I have tried to flash a rom etc using a sd card, but says this;
Install /sdcard...
Finding update package...
(waits about 2 minutes while loading)
Verifying update package...
Installation Aborted
Write host_mode:0 done
I get the red triangle recovery screen and can choose reboot system now, apply sd card, etc. as normal.
if I reboot it does the same thing.
Somehow in the conversion, my MID ended up as 0P6B17000, it used to be 0P6B20000
Cid is now 11111111, was VZW__001
I cannot access the bootloader screen so I cannot try to load using 0P6BIMG.zip
Can anyone put me out of my misery?
Connect it to a pc with adb and try "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to get from recovery to bootloader

If you are still s-off I can fix it. A team viewer session would help since your mid/cid are no longer standard.

I was going through the process and got stuck at the place some other folks are; getting root to work. In an effort to troubleshoot this myself I reflashed the different recoveries and the interim one seemed to boot up fine. When root wouldn't stick I did a master reset.
This is where it gets bad - when root still wouldn't work I went to advanced and formatted everything. I did this because it worked on the GS2 when I would have problems. Now when I reboot it gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. Please help even though I brought this on myself.
tl;dr
The phone is stuck on the htc start up screen and I cannot get it to boot up or into recovery. Please help!
Update: I can get into bootloader and also into recovery. I cannot mount the sdcard to push any files to the phone through adb though.
Have you tried holding down power button for 10 sec and the hold vol- while pressing the power button? it worked for me when i Semi-bricked.. let me know how it turns out if not try the ruu in the dev section..
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
Maybe you can download the nandroid posted in the dev section and push the system partition..
you formatted everything ?? including /system ?
If so you have formatted the ROM and thats why it wont boot..
Try to put a rom in your folder where adb and fastboot is located.. And type the command (whilst in fastboot) fastboot flash nameofrom.zip
if that fails run an RUU. If you need to change it to match your version, Extract the rom.zip and modify the android-info.txt to match your CID and MID.
If you dont know how to get them, in fastboot, use the command fastboot getvar all
good luck and dont panic you'll be fine
You don't need to mount the SD Card to push files over with ADB in fastboot.
Help Please!
I have this same problem and adb and fastboot not working for me.. can anyboy walk me thru this please..
do you have the right drivers ? do you have all the necessary files in the right location ?

The interim version of CWM does not mount for USB storage, try using a different version if you cannot get any ADB commands to work. Not that it will fix your issue with ADB, but if you can get the storage mounted you put the ROM on it and flash. Hope it all works out bro.

PLEASE ANYBODY OUT THERE I NEED HELP...... I HAVE TRIED FLASHING A NEW ROM SOOOO MANY TIMES BUT STILL STUCK BETWEEN START UP SCREEN AND RECOVERY MODE
Welcome to my noob-proof guide on how to root HTC One XL!!!​
EDIT: Guide not available for AT&T Phones (Special thanks to timmaaa)
I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR PHONE IS BRICKED AFTER USING MY GUIDE, USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
I will now slowly guide you through the steps to root your One XL
Step 1 : Unlock your Bootloader
Unlock your bootloader through HTCdev.com. Create an account and go to Unlock Bootloader, select All Other Supported Models and follow the instructions. To check if your bootloader is unlocked, enter bootloader mode by holding the Volume Down button while your phone is powering onIf your bootloader is unlocked, it should say *UNLOCKED* at the top right of the screen.
Step 2 : Flash A Custom Recovery
Download a custom recovery (TWRP and CWM are the two main ones)
For TWRP, download version 2.6.3.0 (i'm not sure about CWM, i didnt use it)
Enter bootloader mode and go to fastboot (Volume Up / Down to move around, Power button to select option)
Plug it into your PC/Desktop through USB and it should say "Fastboot USB" highlighted in red on your screen
Go to your Command Prompt (Start > Search Command Prompt)
Type in the following code:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERYIMG.img
REPLACE RECOVERYIMG TO THE NAME OF YOUR RECOVERY (YOU MAY RENAME IT)
Fastboot will flash the image and give you a success/failure notification.
If it is successful, use the command fastboot erase cache to wipe your cache/dalvik
To check out the new recovery image, go back to Hboot menu by selecting bootloader and clicking the power button,
Use volume down to highlight recovery and press the power button. The phone will now attempt to boot into the new recovery image. You'll see the htc splash screen briefly and then the recovery image.
Step 3 : Rooting
For TWRP click reboot and then click system. It will tell you that your device hasnt yet been rooted and needs to install SuperSU to do so. Swipe to install the SuperSU.apk
For CWM i'm afraid I can't help you with that, sorry im not sure how to install SuperSU using CWM but you can ask around
If you have followed these steps correctly, your device should now have full root access!!! Download the Root Checker app to find out if your device is rooted or not.
If you're satisfied with this guide, don't hesitate to click the thanks button!!!
This guide isn't complete, this will not work for at&t phones. At&t phones cannot unlock via htcdev as the at&t CID is blocked. Maybe you could just update the title to note that this is a guide for non at&t phones.
Also, after flashing the recovery you also need to give the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Another thing you might want to put in there is that the user will need to have a working adb/fastboot environment and HTC drivers installed, and instructions on how to do so.
Sent from my Evita
If a person is truly a noob, they will have no idea what fastboot is, and not have a fastboot environment ready to go. This is a huge missing step(s).
Need links to thing, like TWRP and fastboot resources (once added).
Really, I hate to say, this isn't much of a guide in its present form. It basically says "Go to htcdev.com and follow the steps, then install TWRP". If a person can't handle those things, they shouldn't be modding their phone. This guide needs a lot more work, to be really useful.
Agree 100%

That wouldn't be an upgrade (RUU to 3.18), it would be a downgrade as you are presently on 5.05. With S-off, you can just run the 3.18 RUU. But do I'm not sure you have a valid reason for doing so, as I think you may be confused about this. But its not clear, as you haven't given much detail on what you are trying to accomplish or why.
Also, this has little or nothing to do with the topic or this thread, and you really shouldn't have dug up a 3-month old thread in order to post your issue.

but my problem still stuck
Hello all,
So I have done tons of reading, wiki'ing, researching, googling and I have found things and I have come to my end here. Things started off yesterday when I saw that Google has now released a new version of Google Calendar. I have been waiting years for an upgrade of this magnitude. Unfortuntely I could not install it because my phone no longer had space on the partition. I tried to find a way to transfer files to my SD card but apparently the ROM I was running at the time (MIUI V4) did not support this kind of feature, shockingly.
So I decided to do some digging to find my next rom as being this is an old phone, I was hesitant to find anything new. I came across CM11 (Android 4.4.4) and noticed it was fairly stable and this got me very excited. Noticed CM12 aswell with the new Lolipop but I will hold off. I was running an old version of TWRP recovery and I assumed it would be a simple, "Drop the .zip rom in your SD card and fire away".
I apparently had the wrong version hboot 2.16 instead of 2.15. So I had to upgrade my TWRP. I upgraded to twrp-2.8.1.1-ville but that wasn't compatible with my phone for some reason. I downgraded back down to twrp-2.8.0.1-ville-dm and attempted to install the CyanogenMod_11S_ville_hboot-2.15_v2 rom.
Low and behold I get a "can't mount the /sdcard directory" in my recovery. So I switch over to CWM recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-ville and same /sdcard error. I wiped everything and didnt realize it would reformat my internal SD card. Every here knows opening the HTC One S is also no joy ride. I wanted to hold off as long as possible.
From there I feared the worst and attempted to RELOCK the phone and install RUU OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_Globalive_WWE_3.16.1500.7_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_3049068z393w1fez9cc9lt.zip as my CID was GLOBA001 [WIND MOBILE in Canada].
That did not install correctly either. Right now I am staring at my phone, it is RELOCKED, no recovery, I have no idea if it's rooted, and I can't get past the fastboot menu.
I know I made a small stupid mistake somewhere and would appreciate some help with any of this.

My goal is to install either CWM or TWRP and CyanogenMod_11S_ville_hboot-2.15_v2. Hope this all helps!
EDIT 1: My bootloader is now UNLOCKED again. And I have ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.8. I will try sideload adb. If anyone has suggestions help me have em
EDIT 2: When I try to select a zip from /storage/sdcard0 CWM tells me "E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard0" should I reformat it via the Recovery?
EDIT 3: I sideloaded CM11S via CWM (6.0.4.8) through CMD and it appeared to install but the install process moved WAY faster than it should have. Rebooted phone to black screen and no OS. Might try another recovery...
I fixed it! I went into the rom's zip file and extracted the boot.img file and flashed the boot file using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". I restarted the phone and VOILA, like magic the CM loading wheel showed up.

( Text below is just an explanation to my issues and why I need help! )
Hallo dear XDA forum people I ahve many times read posts and fixes about my cellphone here and managed to unlock, root and install Super SU on my HTC One S. It still has the stock rom, given it's now unlocked and rooted etc. Last weeks I've been having problems with calling out or receiving phone calls. Due to the cellphone hangs every time. So factory reset it to default. The problem persisted somewhat. It now just gets sluggish and I can't hear the other one speaking. Even though the cellphone actually made the connection. So thought about downloading a RUU or flash to another ROM to see if it's cleaner and more stable.
What I done so far!
Before tampering with the cellphone I took backup .img files of my ROM. I even took a manual ''Copy everything on the cellphone to my PC'' in case this would happen. So....
I have installed Universal ADB Drivers, JDK for Java, Android Studio bundle, The HTC One Toolkit - Squabbi - 3.1.2 version. Not that it done any good so far.
The BIG problem is that the cellphone can't mount it's memory card. So I can't put any ROMS, FLASH FILES, .zips or anything on it. I failed at forcing data into the ''data'' folder to.
And when I try to flash a file directly using ''Fastboot'' the device hangs at:
sending 'zip' (632094 KB)...
OKAY [ 27.661s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Other problems when working with the ''ADB commands'' gives me the ''Device not found'' response.
I downloaded the RUU for my device as a .zip as there's no existing .exe version to be found. With no luck flashing it I might say. Due to the constant hanging when the file is ''Sending''.
( This is the RUU I downloaded: OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301852xf01hejl416oev96.zip )
And for 2 days with applying fix after fix and trial and error I'm coming nowhere! I'm thinking on formatting the whole cellphone and copy my ''manual copy of my cellphone'' into the formatted cellphone drive.
In the bootloader this information can be seen:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED *** (Along the lines of guides this happen. No idea how though

My cellphone has: Philz touch 5 CWM Base version 6.0,3,2 on it.
NOW! This is what actually works on my cellphone:
1. I can get into BootLoader on my HTC One S!
2. I can get into Fastboot on my HTC One S!
3. The Fastboot on my HTC One S recognizes as ''Fastboot USB'' on when I plug it into my computer.
4. My computer recognizes the cellphone as a ''removable disk''. And using the command ''Fastboot Devices'' in CMD lets me see the ''SH32HW401164'' number. Using the command ''Fastboot getvar all'' gives me this information:

My plan was to flash this ROM into my phone if the stock one still showed issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531065
This being said and again: My HTC One S is NOT flashed with a custom ROM! It has the same ROM it came with, all though, it has been unlocked -> Rooted. And never been S-off. it is still S-On.
Any help with this issues would be appreciated and thanks for this great forum
SOLVED flashed working ROM and fixed SD card mounting error.
After 3 weeks of frustration and trying I finally got my phone booting with a ROM. As I couldn't find any RUU.exe files for my phone and the RUU.zips didn't work either I had to go custom ROMing. I'll explain the whole process with steps I did so that others can read easily
1. Go into Bootloader, choose Fastboot and connect your phone with the USB cable. Open up CMD in your Fastboot/ADB folder by holding SHIFT+Right Click and type: ''Fastboot devices'' without the quotas, to see if your phone appear like SH32HW.... etc. You can also use the command: ''Fastboot getvar all'' to pull a few lines of comparable information.
2. Download the stock recovery file here: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=ville_recovery_signed.img , place it in the Fastboot/ADB folder and open CMD again, if you haven't already, in the Fastboot/ADB folder and type ''Fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img''
Let the file flash and when it's done type ''Fastboot reboot-bootloader''
3. After the short reboot choose Clear Storage. Your phone might try to boot after this. just hold the power button + volume down to restart it into bootloader again. Then choose Factory Reset from bootloader menu. The phone might try to boot again after this but restart it manually into bootloader if it gets stuck.
4. After clearing storage and factory resetting go into Fastboot USB mode again and use CMD in the Fastboot/ADB folder again to flash your custom recovery file. I used TWRP 2.8.7.0.zip. This TWRP recovery is signed for HTC One S S4. The guide for the Viper ROM recommends the TWRP2.6.3.0 for phones with HBoot 2.15, and TWRP2.6.1.0 for Hboot 2.16 phones.
The command for flashing this file is ''Fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-ville.img''
5. After flashing the custom recovery reboot bootloader with the command ''Fastboot reboot-bootloader''. Then after the short reboot go into recovery from bootloader.
6. At this time your SD card should work. Choose to mount USB from the ''Mount'' menu in TWRP. Attach the USB cable if you haven't already. Transfer your ROM.zip file to your SD card with this method.
( I used the Viper ROM found here: http://venomroms.com/htc-one-s/ )
7. After the transfer is complete choose ''install from zip'' in TWRP and choose the ROM.zip of your choice.
( I choose the Viper_One_S_3.2.0.zip file and chose the ''full wipe'' option, removing apps I didn't want etc. )
8. After installation let the phone work it's magic for like 10-15 minutes if necessary. It'll hopefully boot into the new system in time and you can complete the setup
---
The importance is that the stock recovery steps up til I flashed TWRP again fixed the SD card error. There's more fixes you could try if this didn't work and they can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086156
I told you to flash the stock recovery and make a factory reset from bootloader from the beginning. Glad you've sorted out finally

Yes but it was hard finding a stock recovery. And the recovery that came with the phone did not work. So had to try lot of different ''what was supposed to be stock'' recoveries before I found one that worked Thanks by the way ^^

I didn't have a link for it either. I had to do that only once (messed my sdcard) and I remember someone posted a link from MoDaCo where Paul O'Brian had it uploaded...if I remember right. But that was long time ago and I didn't have the link anymore

Hmm... My SD card actually got un-mountable and messed up after having stock ROM and just choosing to do a factory reset in the bootloader. That is when my problems started! But now after testing just this recovery and clearing storage, factory rest, flash new TWRP in exact that order fixd my issue. If I would factory reset before clearing storage and cache it would do nothing for me. It's weird but now it's ok and works ^^
Should have made a video of me restoring my phone to youtube so others can see to O.O
Edit: Made one here. it's not in awesome quality but it shows the whole process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_emclhywhlw
Hi everybody
I got this phone from a friend who just gave up on it, it freezes for a second or two, then restarts, and keep doing that over and over again. It also get a little warm. Technically I can't do anything in the menu, settings, etc, beacuse the phone restars so fast, however, i can enter the boot menu and the recovery. (I tried to do a factory reset / cache wipe, but it didnt help)
Btw it is android 5.0.1, and I don't really know, but it seems to me he never tried to mod the phone - bootloader locked, no root, s on.
Can someone help me to fix it? Is it even possible to do something with that?

I'd start with a RUU.
Thanks for your reply.
I played around with the phone a little bit, and I think it not just reboots every time, but its resets itself. I took a few photo, and on the next boot they are gone. Also, I moved around the icons and they are always back at their original position.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...zw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473
I tried this ruu thing, I choosed a 5.0.1 zip from the first link, the phone said the update is complete, but its still not working. Looks like nothing changed, and still reboots every few secs.

At me something is similar. CID as is not specified, it is rebooted constantly, but less often than at you, in recovery does not come, hboot it is loaded long .... Any bootloop
Now I tried to upgrade through adb, no success. After I typed "fastboot oem rebootRUU", the phone didn't stay at the htc logo, so I couldn't flash the zip.
At least I could run getvar:

Today I tried to flash the 6.0 ruu zip, but it gave me an error:
"partition update fail"
"update failed beacuse large image file"
or something like that, also, I cant flash the 6.0 hboot zip, the phone restarts before it can finish.
Any idea?1

where did you get the files? i double checked mine and i am wondering if you used the wrong model ruu/fuu. especially if you are getting an error with the image size. what link did you use for them?

did you try running the exe method? also what about using the fastboot method(option 3).
Yeah few days ago.
I cant run the exe because I have to turn on the phone, but as I said it restarts too soon, then I tried the fastboot method, and my phone phone don't stop at the htc logo as it should after I write "fastboot oem rebootRUU".

what do you mean it doesnt stop at the htc logo? also, have you tried the htc fastboot files? if you havent been using them, they are the first link in the thread with the ruu files
I try to sum up everything
The phone gets into a bootloop, 90% of the time it boots into android then restarts after 5-30 seconds. Sometimes it cant go past the red verizon logo and reboots. During this it gets a little hot.
Also it seems like it not just reboots, but resets itself; I moved the icons, played with the settings but everything resets after reboot. Same with photos, if i take one, it will gone after restart.
One more thing, sometimes i get "xy app stopped working", mainly verizon apps.
So far I tried:
Factory reset, wipe cache -> I can do a factory reset from recovery, but everything is the same
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845
I am s-on, locked bootloader, never rooted.
I tried all methods listed in the ruu topic.
Flashing 5.1 through sd card: The flashing finishes but it looks live everything remains the same, i dont know if it really installs the rom
5.1 ruu exe: i cant use this method, beacuse i would have to turn on the phone. Impossible with constant reboots.
5.1 via fastboot, using htc fastboot:
Boot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.

Thats what i mean when i said my phone didnt stop at the htc logo. It simply reboots after i write "fastboot oem rebootRUU", and goes back to bootloop.
Then I tried to flash the 6.0 hboot and android from sd card. I cant flash the hboot beacuse after i press "update" the phone restarts immediately, and I cant flash the rom beacuse i got the "too big image file" error message.
Thats all, I think. To be honest, I dont know if thats really a software issue, but I hope so. I checked the phone, no physical sign of damage, no water damage, so I really hope thats just a software problem.

i checked my hboot and shows as the same version. when i did the ruu, it updates hboot then reboots back to hboot and finishes update. have u also been using the htc fastboot files? check the md5 of those ruu files too. honestly not sure what else to try, something doesnt seem like its matching up
Try fastboot oem task 28 and fastboot oem task 29 and then try flashing ruu again.
