Tried to root and unlock HTC Rezound from 2.3.4 and then flash CounterShrike 2.3 following the Unlockr instructions. Seemed to be going well until it bootlooped at the cyanogen mod screen.
When I connect the phone to the PC and start adb, it only sees the phone in fastboot. What's my best course of action?
Try to flash the kernel off an SD card out of hboot?
Wipe the Countershrike ROM and try to flash the stock ICS?
I've followed the instructions from the developers forum to relock via fastboot, but since I can't access the phone with the adb devices command, I'm hesitant to proceed. Any advice?
Thanks.
Forgot to post the info about the phone from the Fastboot screen:

purchased the phone of eBay. It was on 2.3.4, so I did a factory reset and was trying to get it rooted and on ICS before activating it.
STEP 2:
Opened command prompt from my platform tools & tried to flash AmonRa recovery via fastboot ("fastboot boot rezound-recovery.img") but received an error message:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.49s]
booting...
FAILED <remote:not allowed>
finished.total time 1.525s
can you post the link to the instructions you followed?
instructions followed
The original set of instructions I followed to root & unlock the phone were @ Unlockr.
I'm currently running through NilsP's protocol:
Latest RUU Leak and Installation Instructions
NOTE: This is only needed if you want the latest ICS Firmware (Good Idea)
Quote:
Download the 4.03.605.2 Global RUU: >> Here. MD5 = bcdd450501e390ce323a46b396cd0a49
Rename the RUU to "PH98IMG.zip". Just remove everything in the name before the PH
Copy the renamed ipdate to the root of your external SD Card.
Re-lock the bootloader. Skip this if S-OFF
Open a DOS prompt and change directory to the folder where you have fastboot.exe
Reboot to bootloader
Type "fastboot oem lock" (No Quotes) while you are in bootloader (fastboot usb).
Reboot to bootloader again via recovery menu.
The bootloader should find the PH98IMG.zip file and scan it.
Scanning will take awhile so be patient. When it prompts you say yes. The update will make the first pass. This will take awhile so just watch the progress bar on the right The phone will reboot and sit on the white HTC screen. This could be awhile so be patient and don't get nervous. When it is done it will reboot back to bootloader to run the second pass of the install. Again, this will take some time so just watch the progress bar and OK's on the list. When it is done it will say "press power to reboot" so do it. Now it will boot into the leaked Update.
Once booted skip everything in setup. If you plan to run it stock then just get it set up to your liking
Install Amon Ra recovery version 3.15 (My Preference) If hboot will show tampered at the top but that is normal
Flash my ROM using the instructions in post 1
It's alive running stock...phwew! since I bought it for my wife to replace her DINC that's acting up.:highfive:
Your issue earlier was that you were on gingerbread firmware trying to run an ICS rom. Updating to the newest RUU updated you to ICS firmware.

So I'm rather new to installing custom roms and things of this nature so bear with me. I followed the guide corrisponding with my phone to install cyanogen mod on my phone and followed all the steps exactly at first, when I got to the end I noticed that it was not booting into cyanogen mod so I made sure to search the page again when I noticed the bottom note "This device, if unlocked with HTC Dev Unlock, MUST have its kernel flashed via fastboot! Extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash using fastboot flash boot boot.img" So I figured that must be the fix so I did exactly as it said and tried to install the rom.zip again and reboot. Now whenever I try to reboot I get stuck at the "HTC ONE" screen. Any help ?

Not an RUU, a ROM image, there is no RUU available for the current version of software (which according to your radios & hboot you have already) so now you need to flash a ROM with a custom recovery. You are probably getting the security/signature warning because you are not unlocked, you are relocked... You must be unlocked to flash a non-stock (signed) rom.
Make sure you have fastboot working (part of ADB or mini-ADB) and are unlocked
Download the current TWRP img file for Rezound here and place it in your "fastboot directory"
Download a ROM, for stock try this one by MicroMod777 and place it on your microSD card
Start the phone in hboot, and select fastboot, and connect the USB cable
On your PC, go to your fastboot directory and enter "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img" and a green bar should appear in the display, followed shortly after by the TWRP recovery menu
Navigate to the Install/Flash section, find your rom ZIP file and install it
reboot and you should be good to go
i've got twrp successfully installed, but all i get when i try to flash the rom you recommended i get "error executing updater binary in zip". any thoughts?

Check the MD5 of the ZIP file, is it correct? You are browsing to the ZIP file and selecting it, correct? Is the any other error, something about emmc?
the zip was good and ive tried multiple roms, no emmc error, is there a way to s-off and flash a ruu maybe?

OK... Do you have working fastboot and access to a microSD card reader?
Download https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdttet253u4wgrw/CleanWIPE_1.0_-_10x_-Rezoundv2.zip
First, remove your SD card and put it in the reader connected to a Windows machine. Open My Computer and right click on the microSD drive, select Format, change File System to FAT32, and Allocation Unit Size to "Default", untick Quick Format and select Format... This will take some time. Then copy the untouched ROM and Gapps ZIP file and the CleanWIPE zip file to root (main) directory of the SD card. Use MD5 Calculator or something similar to verify the MD5 image on the SD card. Reinsert the SD card in the phone.
Make sure you have the TWRP recovery image file (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img) in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Start the phone into Hboot and select FASTBOOT, it should show FASTBOOT USB in red, then connect your PC and wait for it to connect. Start a CMD session and go to the fastboot directory, enter the command:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-vigor.img
This will transfer TWRP to the phone and boot it, note that this is different than starting TWRP on the phone directly, it gives TWRP access to more stuff than normal.
Now select Wipes, Advanced, and tick everything except External Storage or MicroSD Storage and wipe it, then repeat this 3 times (note that Internal Storage may change names to emmc, this is normal). Watch for any errors... If there are none go back to the home menu.
Install/Flash the Cleanwipe ZIP, watch for errors.. When this is complete go back home and Install/Flash the ROM ZIP, if there are no errors go Home and Install Gapps, if still no errors reboot the device and disconnect the USB cable.
There is currently no way to S-Off the device without it being bootable.
Hello,
I am having trouble returning my M8 back to stock. I am following this guide: http://www.droidviews.com/restore-att-htc-one-m8-stock-firmware/
I was able to flash RUU_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_ATT_SECURITY_Cingular_US_1.58.502.1_Radio_1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2.exe without any issues, and then proceeded to unlock the bootloader successfully as well.
My issue is getting into TWRP after flashing. I issue the commands:
Code:
adb fastboot reboot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-1-m8.img
And it says that the write is successful, but when I go back to HBOOT to boot into recovery, It gets stuck with the "htc" logo and a pink text "Entering Recovery..." at the top of the screen. If I do an
Code:
adb devices
, it shows my phone and status "recovery".
I'm thinking that the recovery flash isn't sticking or maybe I have the wrong version (I believe I flashed the latest). Or maybe its entirely something else but I'm starting to run out of options. I've also tried rebooting into the bootloader after flashing recovery and just doing "fastboot reboot" and then trying to go back into recovery from a powered-off state but I still get stuck.
Here is my current fastboot Info:
Code:

Thank you in advance for your help.

The RUU you used is far too old to work with the TWRP version 3.0.0.0. Mixing old/new hboot, OS versions with new recovery versions is usually a bad idea.
The fact the guide you are using is from 2014 (!) is doing you no favors. That RUU is 3 Android versions obsolete. Relock the bootloader, than run the (current latest) 4.28.502 RUU as linked in my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
What is your intent in returning to stock? That guide is far too complicated for most purposes, aside from returning to HTC for warranty (for which, most M8 devices no longer have valid warranty).
For most purposes, relocking the bootloader and RUU is good enough.
@redpoint73
Thanks for replying. I was able to successfully go back to stock for the most part. I wanted to do a factory reset to see if it would fix my camera issue (auto-focus was broken and constantly re-focusing). Anyway, it didn't immediately help, but somewhere along the lines the camera fixed itself. Thanks again!
