[Q] Stuck in TWRP Recovery Mode

marcog123 · Apr 7, 2014

Hi there!

I just had a go at flashing my new HTC One M8, and I'm stuck in recovery mode.

I followed these instructions:
androidcentral.us/2014/04/root-att-htc-one-m8/

But got the TWRP file from here because the original link was overloaded:
androidfiles.org/?developer=M8&folder=Recoveries

I essentially just ran:

Code:

fastboot-mac erase
cachefastboot-mac
flash boot recovery.img
fastboot-mac reboot

Then installed the SuperSU update zip. Now every time I try reboot into the Android system, it boots into recovery mode. If I boot into the bootloader, I get the option to boot using fastboot but that appears to fail (it returns me to the bootloader after a second). If I select hboot, it says "No image or wrong image!" after trying to load a .nbh file.

Any ideas?

BTW, I got the unlocked version from Amazon: amazon.com/HTC-One-M8-Unlocked-Warranty/dp/B00J3554KE/

you flashed recovery to kernel partition! The guide is wrong as i read.

To flash recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

BUT you will also need to flash the kernel again as you just messed it up!

Ouch! Ok, that sucks that steps I was following were wrong. :/ But at least I feel less like an idiot.

So I found a boot.img from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51580259 and flashed that. Now I'm not returning to the recovery screen, but to the bootloader always and it gives the same message about wrong image.

Here are the commands I ran:

Code:

./fastboot-mac erase cache
./fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img
./fastboot-mac flash recovery Recovery.img
./fastboot-mac reboot

can you stil enter fastboot mode?

marcog123 · Apr 7, 2014

Is fastboot mode the one where you see "FASTBOOT USB" in red on top? Cause I can get into that and connect to my phone from my laptop.

Thats good. I'll help you get back working phone.

BUT i need some info:

Please tell me what bootloader is about:

HBoot and so on. Also i need to know if its an "UNLOCKED" phone sold by a carrier. Or a carrier free phone. Because you will need fittig software for each model.

marcog123 · Apr 7, 2014

The info on top of the bootloader screen?

Code:

M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.16.0.0000
RADIO-1.15.2133156.UA03_2G
OpenDSP-v26.2.2-00538-M8974.0106
OS-1.12.1540.17
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Mar 3 2014,20:18:02.0

It's an unlocked (carrier free) phone sold by Amazon: amazon.com/HTC-One-M8-Unlocked-Warranty/dp/B00J3554KE/

Okay. Will get the right files.

The kernel you flashed is for "SPRINT" m8 and NOT COMPATIBLE to your device. Just don't flash any files as long as you don't know if theyre matching your phone please.

Did you flash the TWRP 2703 version?

marcog123 · Apr 7, 2014

Yes, 2.7.0.3.

Thanks so much for all your help so far! I hugely appreciate how quickly you're jumping on helping me.

This kernel may work: http://androidfil.es/1mSt Don't flash it yet.

marcog123 · Apr 7, 2014

Yes, that gets me into TWRP!

Just that you know, that is YOUR phone:

x.xx.1540.x - HTC One U.S. Developer Edition

I'm looking for a stock rom, if that is not possible you will have to use a custom rom

Have you installed adb on your laptop? BTW are you using a apple mac?

Download this rom please --> LINK

The rom includes stock kerne. Just download it and we'll try to flash just the included kernel file as it should get your device back working.

Otherwise you'll have to flash full rom via twrp.

Please tell me when your download is ready. And this time do yourself a favor and DON'T act on your own as long as you don't know what you're doing...

marcog123 · Apr 7, 2014

Oh my, thanks so much that worked!! You're awesome! I honestly had a feeling I'd lost my phone.

Glad you got it back alive
