hi
i have problem in my wifi
i trued to flash Rogers rom by fastboot and when its start its flashed the boot.img and recovery.img only and stop to flash the system.img
after that my WIFI starting give me error and i cant swith it on
so please any one can upload the boot.img for AT&T version so i can able to reflash it again
is that how its called? boot.img?
i can't seem to find such a file (in root explorer)
do you know where can i find it?
Here you go...
I extracted these from the PG09IMG_Puccini_LTE_Cingular_US_1.17.502.3_Radio_1.04.550I.15v2_30.60.550I.10_release_210183_signed ROM file... hope it helps.
boot.img
wifi_htc_bcmMFG248_ag_tx_rx_swap.img
yes you can use it from footballs topic. or the puccini leak topic. extract from the zip file. btw. I cannot flash that whole zip anyhow.
Thanks i have done from the boot. mg from PG09IMG_Puccini_LTE_Cingular_US
I dont know why we cannot download an official RUU for ATT devices. WHY? it will makes thing easier. If your device went wrong, you can easily flash it back to factory state.
Hi, I got this wifi error now,
Is the solution and correct conditions and commend as described in below steps: -
boot into fastboot
connnect USB and it shows the USB word behind fastboot.
then from dos prompt enter commend
fastboot flash wifi_htc_bcmMFG248_ag_tx_rx_swap.img
done?
end?
Thanks.

When using fastboot flash you have to specify a partition to flash, so that command will not work. The correct command is:
Code:
fastboot flash boot wifi_htc_bcmMFG248_ag_tx_rx_swap.img
I am not guaranteeing that it will solve your problem, only that it will actually flash your boot partition. The best outcome is that it fixes your problem. The worst outcome is that your tablet will no longer boot due to mismatched /boot and /system partitions.
If the latter occurs then I recommend that you install a custom ROM. Let us know if it comes to that and someone will guide you.
Don't forget to backup what you have on the tablet before you do anything.
Thanks finniest, I have performed…Fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
And solved temporarily. Got wifi not to say error. Allows me to turn on, but then immediately shuts off and display error again.
On another note, i also relocked bootloader. Run RUU, but error 155, means I can't restock.
Currently has TWRP, root, SU, all OK. Able to change custom rom anytime. But wifi error. CWrecovery flashed doomlord's wifi fix but not working.
The wifi.img hasn't been tried yet. feels strange to flash wifi.img going into the boot partition. Am I just being paranoia?

I would give it a try. Beyond wasting five minutes of your time I don't see a downside. You can always flash another /boot image if it doesn't work.
It is good to know that you are familiar with unlocking bootloaders and have a custom recovery. That gives us a lot more options to solve this.
As far as I know the wifi module paired with the kernel by DooMLoRD is incompatible with all other kernels. So if you aren't using that kernel then you will have to use whatever bcm4329.ko file is included with the ROM that you are using. It is easy to forget that his custom wifi module is still in your /system/lib/modules directory when you flash a new kernel.
I suggest trying El-Diablo ROM and the boot.img that comes with it. This is a known working kernel and ROM pair. If you install them then first make certain to format /boot, /system and /data in whatever ways TWRP allows you to.
You should also consider that there might be something wrong with your wifi hardware. This is most likely if you have gotten your tablet wet and/or dropped it.
Hi finniest, you're right about not loosing too much time, I will give it a try now, and if it doesn't work, god bless it's OK I will read up more here, do more homework, then ask again, hahahah. Thanks !!!!!!!

Done, but not because I dare the above.
After realizing kernel + wifi (must be paired), knowing I am no OSIMOND's lightest rom, then I went back to CAREFULLY read his instructions specifically asking for doomlord's kernel v1 then flash the wifi correction ZIP via CWM. Hence I FASTBOOT FLASH BOOT kernelname.img then CWM recovery flash doomlord's wifi ZIP correction, then done. All my own fault for not reading carefully. Thanks still finniest and so many others who replied to various thread.
Where to read step by step?

Kernel (ZIP) or Kernel as an Kernel Folder (organized like Linux kernel release 2.6.xx). I do not know how to use this last one
BTW, I am stuck whit my WiFi since a few weeks... Accidentally I wiped the System(Original) and other stuff, and happily installed the Diablo Version make my Jetstream to come alive. but never never can make the wifi work again.
I read a lot of Android and lear a bit about it, but I can't find the way to make WiFi works again. So Please... A jetstream whitout WiFi is like a die tablet... I need some help.
I need those links where they say how to, and the link to dowload IMG or ZIP. or a page teaching step by step how to install this Kernel (Organized like folders in a Linux like). thank in advance.
try downloading this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5952907/Stock_wifi_modules.zip
and flash it thru the recovery
It said FAIL...

Thanks for Helping.
I reboot into recovery using TWRP and tried to install it from Install Options. it said [FAIL]
Surely I'm just learnig about Android, I should use a commad from bootloader like this?
<fastboot flash recovery Stock_wifi_modules.zip> or
<fastboot flash boot Stock_wifi_modules.zip>
or something like this?
or perhaps use another tool instead TWRP...
flashing thru recovery should have worked. maybe the file is corrupted, I can't really tell
I downloaded and visually inspected the contents of the archive that @guru_shastri provided and everything looks okay. If you want to revert to revert to the stock WiFi module then this appears to be what you need.
Be aware that I have frequently witnessed instances where transfers to internal_sdcard via USB mount caused the file(s) to be corrupted. You should verify that a transfer worked by using MD5, cmp or (at least) a visual inspection.
WiFI OK!, SIM, not!

Finally.. WiFI Works!... but not exactly with described... I had to read pretty much about all the things that concerns to adb/bootloader/flashing/installig>img>zip/ partition of each thing and so on before being succesfull with WiFi...
Not totally Sure, but the process that worked was:
WIPE all but recovery (using TWRP toosl)...
INSTALL el Diablo (zip) ROM Posted into the forums...(do not reboot)
INSTALL Stock_wifi_modules.zip
reboot into system...
Using USB debbuging reboot into bootloader.
Flash boot_signed.img >[fastboot flash root boot_signed.img]
(in this point the prompt said <waiting for device>, so I reboot into bootloader using Volume and Power buttons...)
Once flashed, reboot...
Now WiFi is working. Happily!

BTW... My SIM is not reconigzed (why???)... I saw it working the first time I istalled "El Diablo", but now... nothing happens.
I mean, the Sim Card appear to be reconigzed bye the system, but I don't get signal from the Phone Network (Like if it was from an unreconized carrier.. and my phone is Unlocked). I tried the sim in other phones and works well. What Can I Do at this point?
----- Soon I gonna move to another country, where I gonna use another SIM, with another carrier... --- Will the SIM work??

Are you sure that you are carrier unlocked and not just bootloader unlocked? The former involves submitting your IMEI and paying a small sum of money, so it is usually easy to remember. They are completely different animals.
Make sure that you have checked Wireless & networks-->Mobile network [x]. If it is enabled then check Mobile networks for information. The SIM Toolkit app can also be a source of information.
Strangely, the lock screen is a source of information for your SIM card, so make sure you have it enabled. It is the only gateway (that I am aware of) to submitting your unlock code.

If your Jetstream is carrier unlocked then probably. The answer is probably because the Jetstream radio does not support every provider available.
Silly me! I did not realize look at this!

I just read your answer y I realized that I should carried out this simple step. look for networks in the area. This command "activate" the SIM to perform usual commands like Call or sending codes with * or # and numbers.
At this point my Jetstream is pretty much like it eas before wiping the system. but I can not fix the issue: <<Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code>> every time that I send an command code (*111#) that is the network commad to access a few services. To perform those commads I have to take the SIM CARD and install it in another phone, Perform the network command, and return the SIM to my JETSTREAM. it is annoying. (but works)
Why in this world the network commands can not be performed by the Jetstream! (any advice?)

Hello!
I need some help and I know this is the place to find it!
I have searched for several days all over the internet trying to read and gather information, and I am coming up short.
I know Bruno Martins has posted some information on his blog on how to "readback" (backup) your current rom for your phone, but there is no information on how to flash the entire ROM package back to your phone (at least with regard to the errors you may receive).
Basically, I am looking for some help on how to backup one of my phones entire rom package and put it on my other phone that I messed up via the Smart Phone Flash Tool (the exact same model: Star Touch Diamond 2 B2000 MT6573).
The new phone works perfect, I have never touched it, my old phone which is the same model I deleted and formatted the system so I need to put the stock rom on.
I was able to do a "backup" of my new phone, but when i try to flash the preloader and uboot, etc, the sp flash tool says error loading file, or region too large with overlap.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
By the way, my phone is not bricked, but I cannot access recovery! I was able to find and install another fully assembled rom to my phone and the phone does power on with lights, but it doesnt have the display driver I need so I cannot see anything.
The reason I flashed another rom was because the phone was essentially bricked and wouldnt do anything, and that was the only rom I could find on the internet that was a full package (preloader, uboot, system, etc) but isnt compatible with phone.
Anyhow, if I understand correctly I need to use hexadecimal calculator to find length of partitions of original phones rom, readback the files, somehow edit the preloader file? then flash them back to the old phone?
Please help!
I would love to make a tutorial of this method with pictures and possible errors for everyone if we could get this solved!
Please point me in the right direction!
And I wanted to thank BRUNO in advance for his hard work and help!!
have you tried the neutrino rom from notorious? its reallllly small around 50mb. you may be able to install that since it so small, then work your way back down? not too sure and i can say im no grandmaster but it might work!
***derp. neutrino... thats for atrix only. but hey same concept. maybe a small barebones rom will get you running enough to get things done properly.
Hello stokemonkey!
No, I have not tried the neutrino rom. My main goal is to take my working phone and copy the firmware to my other phone which is the same model. I attempted to flash a rom and then it didnt work out so well (phone still lights up, drivers are not compatible).
I all else fails I can attempt the neurtino rom (as long as you dont have to install from sd card zip file because I cannot!)
the neutrino is an Atrix 4G rom only, so you cant use it and it also needs to be installed via internal so its a no go either way. isnt your phone the china "htc" model? i dont have much user time on an htc so im not too sure what you can do?
again id try to find a barebones that you can flash the way you did with the rom that gave you errors. ill try to do some searching too and see what i can find. let me know if you get anything workin! and if there is someone else out there that can enlighten the both of us help would be appreciated!
and isnt yours like an evo 4g? maybe one of those roms will work?
Thanks for your response and suggestions. I will try to dish up a small tutorial with how far I can get in the backup/flashing process. I can check for an evo 4g rom and see what the specs are. The current rom I used i believe works, but doesnt have the video driver so the screen has no image. I believe each partition of ram has a set size so you can only flash a rom for the mt6573 chipset which will fit in the available space for each partition and also happens to contain the video, audio, bluetooth, etc drivers.
I have used SP Flash Tool and was able to backup all of the partitions of my working phone but the SP Flash Tool gives all sorts of errors when I try to load the files and flash them to my non-working phone.
The funny thing is that I downloaded files for a different phones rom and was able to flash those to the non-working phone, as mentioned in my previous post, which allows the phone to power on, but the phone doesnt work besides lighting up.
I know it is possible to make a backup of my good phone and flash that rom onto my non-working phone, I just dont know what I am doing wrong.
So far, this is what I have done . . .
1. Installed SDK tools for android
2. Obtained my scatter txt file by using command prompt
3. Used MTKRomStudio to open that file which tells me the addresses of all the partitions and their file sizes
4. Used SP Flash Tool V.2.11.29.00 to "readback" (backup) each individual rom file (preloader, uboot, bootimg, android, dsp, etc)
5. Confirmed the file sizes of each of the above files to what MTKRomStudio said the file size should be
6. Attempted to load these files into SP Flash Tool and get errors such as "partition too large, failed to load", or "partitions overlap".
7. I was able to open some of the partitions such as android, and usrdata but when attempting to flash I receive errors such as "dram error".
8. I was able to download an entire backup of all "readback" files for a different model phone, and each one of those files loaded fine and downloaded to my non-working phone.
9. Just to mention, my non-working phone was completely dead (no power up, no lights) before I flashed the random phone rom I found online, and now at least it powers up (lights up).
Anyone have any information? I have created a small visual representation of what I have been looking at and messing around with. Let me know!
Mt6573 phone flash help
Hi all, I need help. I used sp flash tool and flashed the original files to my phone. I then restarted the phone and it would not go past the blue android screen. I let se overnight and still no success. After that i flash the boot and still no progress. Finally i flashed the uboot and now it only lights up but no picture at all. I have used sp flash to try to flash the entire file system back to the mt6573 but it will not flash the recovery, android, or sec_ro files. Can anyone help?

MTK 6577 and SP Flash Tool
I too am also having problems with the flash tool. I am trying to help a friend bring his chinese note 2 clone back to life. He somehow got CWM onto the phone and the custom recovery seems to be functioning properly, but I cant find any sort of ROM file to flash in recovery.
Now I am going back and trying to restore the phone to factory using the flash tool. Installed the VCOM drivers, then went to load the scatter file we obtained from the factory (Bro Tech) it says the scatter file is incorrect format?
My question is: are there any roms we could try to flash on this phone from CWM or do we have to use the Flash Tool? I'm hoping since CWM seems to be working that I can simply flash an acceptable rom with that instead of trying to find a scatter file.
Maybe someone can suggest some ROMs to try flashing with CWM. The phone is: Goophone N2 7100 I believe. Thanks for reading, I really want to help him resurrect this interesting piece of copyright infringement (the phone looks amazingly like a Note 2 till you get close to it)

help please
go here to download any atrix related files
visit that site, it contains everything for the atrix and the best place to get roms, tools, utilities, mods, tweaks, and so forth....
but first download the zip file below this message. I uploaded the zip file for you that has adb, fastboot & moto-fastboot(lets you install .img over 100mb), the necessary dll files & atrix recovery image & command.bat which just opens the command prompt window for you and puts you into the folder so you dont have to navigate anywhere in command prompt to located folders.
first try this, download the zip file, extract to any folder like c:\fastboot
then run the command.bat file to quickly bring up a command prompt and type these commands
Code:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
that may solve your issue if your kernel installed properly and the boot.img file was properly written to the boot partition. If it doesn't solve your problem, go to that link above to find the kernel for whatever rom you're on, att, cm7 or cm9. Get the correct kernel thats compatible, pull out the boot.img from that zip file and also place it into your fastboot folder, then go to fastboot mode again and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then fastboot reboot.

Get the correct kernel thats compatible, pull out the boot.img from that zip file and also place it into your fastboot folder, then go to fastboot mode again and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then fastboot reboot.

Hi,
I tryed doing this, but i get a error " Failed to process command flash: recovery error (0x180002)
I think when i tried to flash rom with RSD LIght may have done something to the files. and it was no help. I dont get a flashing red light now. only the phone stops booting at M logo.
Now How do i flash new rome ? Do i use RSD Light or something else. I know that RSB Requires .sbf file but all the files i see in the site you gave me are .zip.
i also tryed the fastboot flash boot boot.img and no luck, it gvies me the error "Failed to process command flash: recovery error (0x180002)"
thank you for the replay

do you have clockworkmod recovery installed or any custom recovery installed? if not, then thats why it wont flash, your bootloader is locked.
the whole idea behind using clockworkmod recovery is to avoid using RSD to flash sbf files which can brick the phone easily. Its best to avoid using RSD to flash sbf files on your phone at all costs and leave only as a last resort method if you just cannot recover the phone.
Flashing a new rom would normally be done by already having your phone rooted and unlocked with clockworkmod recovery or some other custom recovery installed so you can boot into recovery and choose "install from zip" and point to the zip file that has the rom. The custom recovery does the flashing for you and its a safer method of flashing roms on the phone than RSD.
If you got no other choice and I know what thats like, i been there too. Download RSD Lite v5.6, should be a free download online somewhere, and then search online for "1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012.sbf", then use RSD to flash that sbf onto phone.
Before trying that, goto http://samcripp.com/files/ and in the folder OTA Updates, download the first file named Blur_Version_91.4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US.zip and put it into the fastboot folder, boot into fastboot again and try "fastboot update Blur_Version_91.4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US.zip" and you may be able to get away with just using fastboot to flash that update onto the phone to restore corrupt files. I would try this before using RSD to flash the phone

you said that site doesnt have any SBF files to download, this is a good example of why the owner decided against posting the sbf files online. A lot of people from what I heard, were either soft bricking their phones into temporary hat weights or going full out hard into brick city on a one way ticket joy ride. Flashing sbf files is very risky and RSD tool isn't really meant for the public to be downloading to use at home and flash full roms over their devices. Thats a Motorola utility and it's not exactly a risk-free method of flashing the rom inside these phones. Plus getting SBF files online, you rarely know 100% if its compatible with your model phone or where came from exactly and that it's integrity can be checked for 100% consistency that nothing half-way through the file is missing any chunks of code or is corrupt. Try sticking to only using fastboot & adb & get clockworkmod recovery to make FULL and complete devices backups.
Now that I learned my lesson a few times, no matter what, first thing I always do in recovery is make a backup before I flash anything at all, just in case of just in case, its better to measure twice and cut once.
try that link above and restore stock gingerbread 2.3.4, phone doesnt need to be unlocked or root, and make sure to use "moto-fastboot.exe" it lets you push\pull & install files larger than 200MB onto phone through fastboot, the regular fastboot has some limit on file sizes
Hi,

Restore Your Motorola Atrix 4G Back to 4.5.91 Stock Firmware
it helps to remove any problem related to rom..
With so many Android phones literally flooding the market these days, it’s no wonder that there are also so many firmware upgrades and custom firmware being developed and released every now and then. A superior device with great stuff neatly packed into it, the Motorola Atrix 4G is one of the devices for whom developers have devoted significant firmware love.
One reason for the attention that devs give to the Atrix 4G is that it is a fantastic device with a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and robust ability for handling impressive graphics and video without choking. Together with its powerful processor and 1 GB of RAM, the Atrix 4G is a mean powerhouse that can be further exploited with the use of third-party applications and custom ROMs.
In an age where technology is constantly changing at an alarming pace it is important to always have a trusted source to get your updates in a timely fashion. Custom ROMs and factory firmware updates have played a crucial role in the development in many of our devices.
For those of you who have rooted your Atrix 4G and already have installed custom ROMs, then you might already have some bad experiences with regards to unofficial firmware sources. Unofficial firmware such as custom ROMs are literally filled with many bugs and disabled features. In many cases, these ROMs are not stable for daily use.
Luckily for owners of the Motorola Atrix 4G, there’s an escape hatch for reverting to stock, functioning firmware and return the phone to its factory state.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to roll back your Motorola Atrix 4G to the official firmware version 4.5.91, regardless of your current firmware

Pleas help

So guys, I'm new to this and thought I would jump in at the deep end.
I unlocked my HTC One X+ easily and set about rooting.
I've got TWRP installed but it keeps telling me it needs to install superuser before it can root.
I have totally wiped the phone, how come if Im not rooted?
How do I get an OS and indeed the kernel or ROM onto the phone?
Its and International OX+, I've got the right kernel... what do I need to do?
It was locked to O2 if that makes a difference
I followed the instruction in Hasson but then wiped the OS
I know its a simple procedure but can someone walk me through it please
So I've downloaded Kernel 3.1.10-ge7581e4
I have no idea what to do next, come on guys I know its not difficult for you guys.

If you wiped as you said, you need to push with adb a rom of your choice to the internal memory of the phone and then install it within twrp.
Please read instructions 2 or 3 times before attempting anything, seems like you rushed and now you're temporarily without phone till you flash a rom on it again. I doubt any root guide tells you to wipe the phone, your own fault on this.
To sum it up:
Put a rom's zip of your choice in the internal memory with adb push
flash the rom within the twrp recovery (install option)
flash the kernel for the specific rom with fastboot (each rom has a guide and download for it)
You can now search about it more easily, plenty of posts and info about this.

Thanks, I did indeed rush into it but I have been meaning to do it for a year and just thought go for it, I know its all salvageable..ish!
So yep, I've got the ROM I want but don't understand the kernel, I see no guide to download it, all I know is I took a note of the Kernel before I wiped my phone and I have managed to find the exact kernel.
The ROM or RUU as it is, is an O2 UK version, I figure it must be the one I want as it was an O2 phone in the UK.
I still don't know what folders to put things in, TWRP can't see a boot.img that I have on the phone when installing, it can only see it through file explorer.
And then, every time I power down the phone TWRP asks to install Superuser, its cant, theres nothing to install it to, so it just keeps asking.
This is all because I hated the Sense 5 update, indeed Im till looking for the Sense 4 ROM fo HOX+

Sigh, if you had read carefully you'd know that boot.img need to be flashed through fastboot and not from recovery. Every rom has this info or a batch file for this.
So what exactly are you trying to do? Root the stock rom that came originally with the phone or installing a custom rom?

Lols, thanks dan, I hope you don't hate me!
Root the stock ROM
For starters..
The boot.img is the Android Revolution HD
The RUU is O2 UK
I do realise they are two different ways of installing an OS, I would just like one of them to work!
So think install RUU, then kernel
But put them where and how
I bought the Android Hackers book, but theres nothing about HOX+ in it, and seeing as that's the only phone, I've got to practise on I thought I would ask you specifically.

I see, the easiest ways would be to use a custom rom now. For example, the one you already got the kernel from(android revolution hd)
To root you dont need to install a kernel... just to flash the supersu zip. Using a custom rom's kernel with stock rom might not be a good idea.
Another simple way would be to restore stock rom back to start and try rooting again, this time reading everything carefully
So the two easiest ways i think:
1) flash a custom rom following the instructions they provide in the initial posts for that rom
2) run the o2 correspondent RUU to restore stock rom (you'd need to relock the bootloader), also reading carefully posts in the forum about restoring to stock
Without getting into too much detail, these are the simplest options.
All the info required to do these are on these forums
Aaarrghhh, its driving me insane as I knew it would, just like XP, Vista Seven and Eight!!!
So Im back to being up all night learning..
Well have installed SDK correctly but device is not seen, no serial, nothing.
I can get it to fastboot though, however I don't know any commands so I cant get it to work
Windows 7 keeps moaning about an mpt file which I downloaded and dont know where to extract it to
All I need to do is copy a few files to the phones sd card and install them right?
Whys that so difficult?
I don't know the difference between a rom an ruu and a boot image, in that I don't know where they should all be placed.
Why cant twrp copy and paste from pc...
So Hassooon works sort of but still none the wiser.
Am following tutorial but fastboot commands are not working
Still cant find right driver.....
So CMD lines not working 100%
So am downloading drivers in sdk manager
And how do I flash the supersu zip?
Still no luck with driver, im on windows 7 32bit
OK I cant push using adb it cant find the file or directory,
Hassooon cant detect the phone as cant windroid universal
I dont think the phone is rooted even though i have twrp on it.
Thus can I have wiped the os?
If not can i restore it?
No I didnt make a backup rom..
mmm a zip on the phone doesnt load in bootloader, count that be my os?
Guys, im stranded in the water here...
On boot im getting...
Failed to open usb master mode
[Preload] Failed to open usb master mode
loading PM35IMG.zip image...
Failed to open usb master mode
please plug off usb
Whats PM35IMG.zip?
Is that the OS?
Am I saved?
Is it easy to get that file to unzip and load?
Can anyone help?
So now I need the right RUU.....
2.17.206.3
Is there anyone out there that can help please?
So have managed to install superuser and root my phone, all instructions for doing this were wrong including Hassoon, had to have the phone in System screen to do it, not bootloader or recovery.
Now cant get adb to push file to sdcard...
Man alive, how to make something very easy, sound very difficult.
Would any of you experts care to help?
Just trying to install a ROM.zip to Root and place the boot img in right place.
Well, the instructions are dire but after 10 days of persistance have installed Android Revolution HD 8, finally my phone is up and running better than the bloated os that came with the phone so, you can call this thread resolved.
I know there has been many threads giving explicit instructions on how to unlock bootloader, gain s-off, and install TWRP recovery. But I am having problems/questions that no one (at least of what I've read) has encountered. I will try and make this clear for y'all but bear with me. Before I start just let it be known that I DO HAVE my bootloader unlocked. I ended up going to a cell phone repair place and paying a small fee to get my bootloader unlocked.
1. Do I need to gain s-off to be able to root and install TWRP recovery?
I say this because the I have tried the has00n application to unlock bootloader, gain s-off, root, and install TWRP recovery, but I ran into problems with my computer recognizing my device. I had all the necessary files downloaded (at least to my knowledge) but it honestly just wouldn't recognize my device.
2. If I do not need to gain s-off to install TWRP recovery and install a custom ROM (I'm going to be installing Cyanogenmod), how do I go about doing that?
Honestly I'm so fed up with this that I just want to sell this phone and get another one, all I want to do is get Cyanogenmod on this phone but it's so immensely difficult.
Please help me! I have been trying to get this accomplished for so long but I feel like because this phone is older all the info about how to root and gain s-off is outdated.....
All of your help is greatly appreciated!!
You shouldn't need s-off for installing a custom rom. That's for tinkering with model id and scary stuff like that. I'm not sure what that tool is but I only know of one way to get s-off, and that's sunshine s-off.
As for rooting, when you install a custom rom via twrp or cwm, it will typically ask you if you'd like to root your phone AFTER installing the rom, but BEFORE you restart the first time. So the process should be:
Unlock
Install twrp or cwm
Wipe and factory reset
Install rom
Once completed, phone will prompt if you want to restart
Select YES to root on restart
And then wait for the phone to reboot! (it'll take a little while first time)
After the boot, it'll probably ask you to install superSU, which is the root manager app. If it doesn't, find it in the play store and you're set.

Thank you for your reply. So as of right now I am using the fastboot adb to control my phone from the command prompt on the computer, but there is a problem. When I try and flash the custom recovery (either TWRP or CWM) it says that the files are unrecognizable, so they're pretty much corrupted. I honestly don't know that to do. I know I can achieve root if I just get either one of these recoveries to flash but it seems that all the files for the htc one m8 TWRP and CWM are corrupted. What are you suggestions at this point? The fastboot iadb is working perfect I just need a non-corrupted recovery file and I'm searching around the internet withno luck of finding one. Is there one that you can attest to working? If so that would be amazing. Again, thanks for your help, hopefully we can get this sorted out!
Hmm, do you have the latest version of twrp? Sometimes older versions don't install, I would try to see what version of twrp htc one m8 users are using, I'm not by my computer right now so I'm not sure. I also know that twrp works better on htc one for some reason, I've never found a version of cwm that works on my htc one. Make sure you are using the proper install command to install it too, I think it's fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.IMG
If all else fails, all I can think of at this point is that you got a bad download or something ?

Yeah I've been trying to use the most current version of twrp and it didn't work. I ended up trying past versions and those didn't work either. The fastboot command i am using is the same as the one you stated. There's just a problem with the files. I'm beyond frustrated but really thank you for your help. When you're by your computer can you please send me the twrp version you have, it would be much appreciated.

Can you copy and paste your command window to this thread? It would help to see the exact error outputting. You can highlight and right click to copy anything from command window.

Is the phone currently on Lollipop, or otherwise? You can't know what version TWRP is correct, without this info. Current TWRP (2.8.7.0) won't work if the phone is on older OS version. Vice versa, if the phone is currently on Lollipop, older versions of TWRP (I believe older than 2.8) won't work. You have to flash the specific TWRP version that matches your OS version. Guessing which TWRP version to flash is not the right way to go about this.
Also, you need to tell us the actual TWRP version number you got, and where you downloaded it from. I've seen quite a few instances where folks thought they had the "most recent" version, but in fact they weren't even close. Its always best to be specific as possible, and provide all the details when getting help here.
Additionally, go into Settings (or do getvar all), and tell us the software number. If you got the Stagefright patch, it might be screwing up install of TWRP as well.

Again, just saying you used the "same" command isn't enough. A single wrong character, wrong file name, wrong path will cause the command to fail. As the previous response requested, please cut/paste, or better yet post a screenshot of your command prompt window, so we can see the exact command syntax, and the specific error message.
I can virtually guarantee that as long as you downloaded the file direct from the TWRP website, and tried downloading (and flashing) it more than once (to eliminate the possibility of corruption during file transfer); that the issue is almost certainly pilot error.
Somehow I'm a little frusrated. I've brought my phone since today. So it is currently on Lollipop. There is no Power in setting to uncheck Fastboot. Is there any way I can root my phone?
