Hi folks, have TWRP installed, rooted, wanted to get the OTA, but can't b/c of twrp being installed.
I have the OTA d/led from at&t. Can I load the firmware.zip from that with
fastboot oem rebootRUU
and then
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip ?
( both of which are from godfirst' post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699 )
and is that the 'stock recovery"?
Or is that JUST the new firmware? (as in the BIOS for the phone, to make a pc analogy.)
More info, from bootloader screen:

You can't flash the firmware with unlocked bootloader (edit: unless you have s-off.)
Open the firmware.zip with 7-zip, etc. and extract recovery.img, then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'. (No need to rebootRUU.)
opened it with 7z.
going to try it shortly, once i remove htc sync........ ugh.
Gets to 25% and stops. Not sure if it's hung or still going, but I've waited 18 minutes so far.
I can power it off, then boot it again, and it hangs with red triangle exclamation.
One more power off/on and I'm back in the OS with a fail message.
Are there logs placed anywhere that I can look at?
Anyone get this and get past it?
Thx in advance for any thoughts.

Hi Everyone. '
I have been trying everything to get a custom rom on my HTC View. I tried the multi tool, which was unsuccesful at downgrading. I also tried no sense roms both would go to a black screen after flashing.
This Time i tried flashing dexters JB rom. The aroma installer worked fine but it says succesfulley installed, however the last line on the aroma installer says
-> Flashing Kernel
assert failedackage_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22")
It then gives me the option to select next or save logs.
I select next and go and flash the 1.6 patch.
next i flash google apps.
then power off.
Next power on,
White HTC screen, then a black screen. nothing.
This happened to every rom i Installed. I am using Clockwork mod recovery to flash these. Is there something else I have to do?
here is my bootloader screen

From there I would select recovery and the revolutionary CWM would come up, I will then wip everything, install zip from sd card.
If you're HTCDev unlocked you cannot flash a different boot.img in recovery. Extract the boot.img from the ROM you are trying to flash and place it in your android-sdk/platform-tools folder then use the following commands in a terminal.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
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.

i was running vipermaxspc 2.0 rom and wanted to try another (adrenaline 1.5 sprint) so i loaded into twrp with the rom on my sd card. to install it it told me to use swipe wipe so i used that, after getting notified adrenaline was installed successfully i rebooted and ti would not load anything so i hit factory restore feature in the hboot thinking that's what i needed to do. a few things later and now i can not enter TWRP (recovery mode) it flashes for a split second and then automatically reboots, i am able to still reach hboot and fastboot usb. i can lock and unlock the bootloader. i took a micro sd card out of the phone since i was seeing errors

check sd results in system rebooting, if i remove the sd card i do not get the errors from above. did i brick my device, if not how can i fix this constant rebooting so i can at less get back into recovery mode
thanks to MrT69's post "how to s-off @ hboot 2.49.000" i simply downloaded his link'd s-off package and flashed his copy of the recovery.img file with the commands
fastboot oem recoveryRUU
fastboot recovery recovery.img
i am now back in the TWRP screens hoping i don't do what i did before and somehow the magic works this time. i guess this is called a Softbrick not a bricked phone. hope this helps others who are newer to these android magical wands.

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:

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!
