[Completed] HTC ONE M8 stuck in bootloop - XDA Assist

Hey guys
I know there are similar posts out there but none who describe my exact problem^^
It's like this: Earlier today, I wanted to go back to stock, fully. Which means I downloaded the stock backup and put it on my phone with TWRP. Then, I changed to stock recovery by using the HTC ONE M8 toolkit from hasoon2000.
As far, as good, everything worked just fine. And to have it completely back to stock (except for the still unlocked bootloader) I came up with the glorious idea of restoring to factory settings using the options in the phone's settings... aaaand now I'm stuck in the bootloop.
I meanwhile figured out how to enter the bootloader (volume up + power til screen turns fully black, then volume down) and I'm also able to access stock recovery through that... I of course tried factory resetting it through the bootloader and the recovery, I also took the sim card out as somewhere was suggested... but ultimately, it always goes back to the bootloop.
When connecting to the PC I hear the connecting sound... but that's it. It doesn't show up and thus I also can't access it through fastboot/adb
I ran out of ideas myself, do you have any?^^
Thanks!

Follow this thread here. Follow instructions completely. I have done this with HTC devices in the past. This will be completely stock. Check and make sure your version is listed. Flashing the wrong firmware can be irreversible.

One of the methods in this thread should work. Don't do the newest one from HTC website if you want to root.

DId you use SuperCID? you should just try different ruu until one of them works. Did you try to get into recovery aka holding down the vol button when you power on?

i dont know what is SuperCID so i guess i didn't use it.
recovery is the only thing that i can get into right now.
i tried factory reset. didn't work.

Well if you didnt that means you can only use an ruu for the image you currently have or any ruu after after that. im not to familiar with rogers ruu version numbers but like i said equal or great. I would go into recovery and and go into fastboot and try the ruu then. that should do the trick and you still need to be relocked but you said you did that already so good luck!

can u plz tell me the detail?
what files do i need ? or is there a thread that can help me through the process ?

yeah it seems like you did take all steps. with changing your CID im not really sure what to do. illl be back if i find anything but right now im stuck. sorry man.
drklazarus26 said:
Yeah I was just looking around and I noticed there but only one ruu. this is a link to the ruu ROGER RUU. its an exe so basically hold the vol down button while you turn the power on. you should have a screen that says "fastboot", recovery and so on. select fastboot and connect to your computer. when it finishes installing the drivers and the phone says fastboot usb in red then run the ruu.
actually its not an exe. sorry i need to look it up myself
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah, that is not an exe file. it's a zip file that should replace the rom.zip when u do the ruu (according to the posts online).
that's what i did. the thing is that when i did the ruu thing, my phone version is greater then the one u can find online. so it's not working this way. or maybe im not doing it right.
this phone is killing me right now.
thank u.
no one seems to have a good solution to this???
i just solved it.
it's quiet simple actually.
for ppl who may have the same problem as i did , this is what u need to do :
flash recovery, then go in to recovery mode, wipe everything, except the external storage, then install a new rom
simple...
yea , first of all , unlock ur device.
thx/.
Should change the title of post from [Q] to [solved] so that people know your all set and others that may find the info useful.

Here is what I did....
HTC One X (ATT). Unlocked and rooted yesterday. (TWRP)
Today tried to install CM10 and GApps, got stuck on CM bootscreen, then I flashed the boot.img and it still did not work....then my immediate next step (probably stupidly) was to flash modded boot...still did not work....I just got to HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom and nothing else....
So I got into TWRP and restored to my backup (which I was able to do before the above) and just got to the same HTC screen with red type on the bottom......now I started to panic.
I tried to relock the phone...and I did but now I cant go anywhere but the fastboot screen!!!!
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you relocked already just run the ruu in fastboot and restore to stock.

Just read read and read more..be comfortable first than you'll be fine and know how to get out of any situation
Just read up and give it another go.....like anything else, sometimes you need certain thing to happen to learn....good luck.
Just saying, you flashed the boot.img after flashing the rom and gapps? The boot.img is flashed before flashing the rom
It can be done either way.
ive been seeing alot of new members soft bricking this way should read though this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193 it explains every thing for ppl on hboot 1.14 and higher.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you need to run the RUU. It won't boot otherwise.
I am unlocked and rooted again.....ready to try again...
I want to leave the phone alone but I cant help myself.......Anyone else have this issue???
I know what you mean, when i first got my one x and learned of rooting, i felt i was claustrophobic with normal stock. I Read and read and read some more, before I even thought about flashing roms. But I Recommenced flashing Viper JB 3.1.0 As it basically installs the boot img in the boot-loader for you. I also recommend Cm 10.1, except it does not have camera working as of yet. If you dont mind not having a camera, cm 10.1 is a very smooth rom. Also remember if flashing certain roms like cm 10. dalvik, cache and factory reset, as well as flashing the boot img are required for the rom to work. Good luck

How to relock my HTC Explorer bootloader?

Hi guys,
I have an HTC Explorer and I unlocked and rooted it few days back, later I got a strange problem that everytime I receive or make an outgoing call, my phone goes on loudspeaker automatically and anything I do, I can't make it stop. I factory reset it several times, reflashed stock ROM but nothing. Finally I decided to take it back to service center but since it's rooted, I tried to unroot it first and then relock the bootloader. I flashed back the stock recovery and then locked the bootloader but got some warnings while locking it.
Now it shows bootloader relocked but with some warnings in red color. I can't start my phone now as it goes in bootloader mode always, unlocking it again makes it work again so I am sure I am not doing something right.
Can you suggest me what I should do to make it lock properly and also if some suggestions related to loudspeaker problem, I will be really thankful.
Thanks.

Flashing an RUU is the only definitive way of *relocking* your device. And, as of why it shows *relocked* and not *locked*, I quote Rohan Pruthi (dunno if he's on XDA).
Because, its a virgin no more! no matter how much you try to show otherwise...

Thanks for your reply. I read this on so many places to flash RUU to solve this problem, unfortunately I am only have enough knowledge in Samsung area since I have S3 and never had to deal with HTC, so can you explain a bit more what's this RUU all about and where can I get it to flash on my friend's HTC?
If there are any links or something, that would be great. Thanks.

Reboot to bootloader and connect your phone to PC, and type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and paste the output here... It will be easier for me to tell which RUU you'd need then...
Else, you can search for one yourself... Only thing that the Radio version and hboot should match...
http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Pico
I am not with that device now but thanks for the command, I will do that later. Hopefully I will be able to find one for my device, since it's exe file, I just need to run that once I get it downloaded?

you should have htc sync/drivers installed.
just reboot to fastboot, connect the device, and run the exe
Can you suggest me RUU for this model as shown in attached screenshot since this version doesn't seem to be exist on your suggested link?
Thanks.

NFC Icon Flashing In Status Bar - But No Option Anymore

Ok guys, so I messed up and flashed the Viper Rom onto my phone. I am Boost mobile (K2_CL) and didn't realize it wasn't supported, luckily I had backed up through TWRP so I went to restore that backup and now I have an issue with the NFC. The NFC icon in the status bar quickly, like miliseconds quickly, flashes ever half second. I don;t have the NFC settings in my menu anymore either like previously. I even backed up my wifes One SV and restored hers on mine, which has never been tampered with until today, and even with her restore it is doing it on my phone. Any ideas on hos to make it stop and get the function back again?
There are different partition layouts between european and boost roms. So it seems, it has some firmware parts overwritten. In this case you can't solve that with a backup or flashing another rom.
I would try to run the available RUU for your phone, maybe it can restore things.

I tried an old RUU and it wouldn't take, I want to go back as far as I can and update my phone back to current if possible, even if I have to go back to an older Hboot, just so I know everything is A-OK
I guess you need to downgrade hboot first. And therefor you need S-Off.
