Can Only Install 1 ROM - Corrupted Phone?

[Trytohaxme]

Hey guys,

So I believe I somehow managed to corrupt my phone or something?
I've tried several different ROMS, all to which give me an error upon installation.

The only ROM that will actually install successfully is WOLLA V7.
I've tried several other GPE based ROMS, and several TW all to which fail during install.

Could someone possibly give me an explanation to what happened, I used to be able to install any ROM now I'm stuck using WOLLA.

Here is my GETVAR ALL.

(bootloader) version: 0.5

I'm not quite sure what other information you guys may need in order to solve this problem of mine.

Thanks in advance​ for all those who leave some feedback or an explanation, I would love to find a solution!

The above items indicate that you have the Verizon version M8. This version uses different kernel from other M8 versions, so you should only try ROMs specifically intended for the Verizon M8. So stick to the Verizon M8 Development section, or you can also flash ROMs from the "general" development section only if they specifically state that Verizon M8 is supported.

Also note that this has nothing to do with the actual local cell carrier you are using (folks often confuse this). The Verizon M8 is actually different in hardware, radio, partitioning, etc. from most all other M8 versions. So the reference to the Verizon version is actually referring to the device itself.

Another note of caution, I see you have the Verizon version with s-off and SuperCID; and may not be familiar with the peculiarities of the Verizon version. This combination is somewhat risky, in that you need to be sure never to flash firmware.zip or RUU from another version M8, as they are not compatible and permanent damage is possible!

Hmm, that may be my problem than as I did flash a new firmware package though it was primarily for international variants I believe.

Am I not able to use a RUU and get my phone back to normal now, if so can you locate the proper RUU that I would need for my model?

The version main number 4.17.605.5 in the getvar data you posted, would indicate that you are on the Verizon firmware (the "605" is unique to Verizon). Unless you previously flashed an international firmware, then subsequently the Verizon 4.17.605.5 firmware?

In any case, it's not a bad idea to RUU back to full stock Verizon "baseline" and see if that fixes the problem. Particularly, if you think you flashed the wrong firmware before.

You can find Verizon RUUs here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845

Note that the US Marshmallow RUUs have a peculiar requirement, in that you need to flash the firmware (6.21.605.3) before you can flash the RUU. If you try RUU 6.21.605.3 and get an Error (155 I believe) this is the case, and you need to find and flash the firmware, then RUU. Not sure where to find the 6.21.605.3 firmware, but you might look around the M8 Verizon forum section.

I honestly and truly appreciate all the help you have giving me, but I have one last question.
I believe using a RUU would be my best bet, starting from scratch is never a bad idea.

Would using a RUU fix/format any and or all partitions, cause I believe my data partition may be corrupted

Yes, RUU in theory should format all partitions, and will often fix data partition corruption.

Although, if you still have TWRP installed, I would suggest booting to TWRP, and tapping the "Format data" button/option before trying the RUU. Reason being, this will often fix data corruption. And not sure, but I think in some cases I've seen RUU fail due to data corruption. So fixing it in TWRP may prevent you from having to go around in circles to get the RUU to work.
