This would be because you dont have a custom recovery on your phone to back up anything...,when you unlock via htcdev it will reset your device to stock and youll loose whatever you have on it anyway so be ready to redownload everything...possibly htc backup utility may do it from phone,do not know as never used it to back up apps etc.

this has that feature too, hitting vol up and power in recovery will take you to advanced options, but as the guy above me said, it doesn't matter what you backup, when you unlock boot loader the first time, it wipes ALL user data. Just sync with google to backup apps and contacts and make sure your music/pics/etc… are on your computer backed up.

If you factory reset from settings, it will not delete root and it will not delete anything off the memory card(unless something goes wrong). You will not brick it.
If you are trying to get the phone back to complete stock like when it was first bought, follow the return to stock threads in the development section. if your s-off, just flash a stock rom without root in it...
Thank you, appreciated it

What do you mean by bootloader, when i try to enter recovery it sticks on the team win splash screen. When i choose factory reset it does the same.

If you go to you phone settings, choose storage and there you will find the option to encrypt your phone, just need to decrypt it using the password and that's it.
If you don't have the password I believe that after several unsuccessful attempts the phone might wipe and decrypt itself, downside to that is loosing any data.

Well I may have truly found out how to brick this phone. First what you want to do is unlock the bootloader, then flash a recovery. Next you want to gain SU on the phone and root. If your their and you want to brick your phone you will need to do the following steps.
1. Forget to create a restore
2. Flash the google nexus 4.3 to the phone
3. realize it in a boot loop
4. format data on the phone (yeah that's right...I wiped everything)
5. sit back and admire your work.
Any ideas?

Can you get into recovery?
There is a way to adb a rom file onto the phone using twrp as long as you can get into recovery and the pc recognizes the phone....if no recovery though I don't know.. would have to be able to get into fastboot and flash twrp.

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried to side losd a rom but either I'm doing it wrong or it just won't work. I keep getting errors. I can reboot the phone from ADB on the computer but I can't seem to move any information across...Heck I can even lock and unlock the bootloader but not side load.

Oh, i feel your pain, Just "soft" bricked my phone. Lucky it has plenty of juice and i was still able to get to booloader. Somewhat of an easy fix. But boy did my heart start pumping.
When you reboot, what does it do? Just sit there on the HTC screen, not light up at all, or something else?
I only ask because I thought I borked mine today going from the OTA, to .12, to S-OFF, the accidentally making it ENG S-OFF, and then the screen not lighting up when I'd try to do anything.
But I was able to get the silver HTC screen to pop up and flash the 4.1.2 RUU to go to WWE 4.2.2.

I am running the Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly from the 11th, and also running crpalmers kernel 5.4.2. I had ART turned on, and was running Gravitybox Xposed Modules. While I was using the phone, while on the charger, it randomly rebooted, and showed the splash screen. The phone was just about dead when it was being used on the charger. While on the charger, the phone repeatedly shows the splash screen, followed by a black screen, and then a vibration like it had just been powered on, and shows the splash screen. This cycles while plugged into the computer. When first plugged into the computer, the computer (Windows 7) makes noises like it is connected and then removed. The phone is not recognized in fastboot or adb. I was able to access the bootloader menu by holding the power and volume down keys. Usually I can not navigate through it by using the volume keys, and it reverts back to the bootloop within 30 seconds. I don't know what is causing this problem, so I tried to give as much info as possible. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hope someone can get you sorted out. Never experienced that particular issue.

When I access the bootloader I am unable to select anything before the phone returns to the bootloop. I can't get to recovery or factory reset. I also believe that running an RUU would be unsuccessful because the phone is in neither ADB and Fastboot mode.

I was able to stop the bootloop somehow. Must have been a combination of attempting to charge it all day and the constant attempts to reboot into recovery. Now I'm in recovery, and there is no partitions. I am unable to factory reset or format data of any kind. I had pushed a ROM to the device in the recovery. I was unable to flash this rom, or the stock splash screen.

Fastboot and ADB are working properly, and that would be great!

So i had a similar problem last evening, left phone over night in bootloop off charger till it died and woke up this morning reconnected bootloop continued for 10 mins then phone booted up, relocked bootloader, flashed stock ruu, unlocked bootloader and installed nusense working fine so far.
I have a rooted, s-off HTC One M8. I was using Android Revolution ROM, but decided to try and flash a Cyanogenmod nightly. The Cyan flash was successful. Then I decided to restore back to a previous ROM I had in my backup. When I did a factory reset on uninstall Cyan, it failed. Tried it again, another fail. So I did a dirty restore and now it's asking for a password to decrypt my storage. I can't get into bootloader mode or recovery. How can I fix my phone to work again?

I did try that and now it's stuck on the ROM's logo. At least the decrypt storage password window is gone. I can't the power the phone off or anything else.
Did you try holding power and up till the phone reset

Not sure what you are trying to say here. You tried to factory reset to uninstall CM? If so, factory reset just formats /data (user data) and doesn't touch the ROM. Did you factory reset within the OS, in TWRP, or in bootloader?

"Dirty restore" is not a term I've seen used here (maybe its just my ignorance). "Dirty flash" is used often (flash the ROM without wiping user data). Or do you mean you restored a nandroid without the /data partition (only /system and boot partitions)?

Bootloader still works, otherwise the screen wouldn't even come on, and you would be really screwed (actual brick). Failure to get into bootloader is almost always caused by performing the button combo incorrectly.
Use the reboot button combo stated in the previous post (hold power and vol up for a while, maybe 10 seconds or more). This forces a reboot. Then the instant the screen goes black, hold vol down and don't let go until the bootloader screen comes up. If you get the HTC boot screen, you probably didn't start pressing vol down fast enough.
Did you try to reboot into bootloader or recovery using adb? If not, that is another alternative.
Awesome. The OP cross-posted, then resolved his question (on a ROM thread, no less) and neglected to update his status here.
Please don't cross post. Stick to one thread (especially if you've bothered to start your own thread) and don't jump around. You will get better help that way, and avoid confusing others and wasting our time.
