M8 GPE Bricked and HBOOT is Stuck - AT&T HTC One (M8)

So I flashed a unofficial lollipop rom for my m8, but then I found it slow and buggy, so I went back to TWRP and restore it back to my GPE 4.4.4. However, when I boot it back, it turns out like this, I think it is bricked. When I plug it into the computer, the computer detects the phone, but it adb does not, probably because I did not turn on debugging in the lollipop rom.

Then I try to go back to bootloader. When I enter bootloader, it automatically jumps to HBOOT, checking something, and pops up this page. If I hit "yes", then it fix it and reboot, but when I come back to bootloader, it still jumps to this page. If I hit no, same thing. When I plug it into the computer, the computer doesn't detect the phone at all.
So I am stuck, any solution please?

When you are on the second screen, does your computer pick it up?

No unfortuanately

Take the external sdcard out and put it in another device,you need to move/remove the "0P6BIMG.zip" file .once file is removed put the sdcard back in your phone or you can boot hboot without it even and the rest of the options should be there like normal

You need to be in recovery for adb to work. USB Debugging only makes a difference if you are trying to connect adb when the OS is booted (which is obviously not the case for you).
As mentioned above, you just need to stop it from trying to update. After that, you probably just need to get a known good ROM on the phone or SD and flash in TWRP. Or at worst, you may need to re-install TWRP and/or update to a newer TWRP version if its outdated.

I had the same problem yesterday and removed the 0P6BIMG.zip file like jball said rebooted 2 or 3 times more and reloaded TWRP and venom one. Now I'm replying with that phone.

[Q] HTC Evo 4G LTE Corrupted NV Items

After trying for hours to flash a new rom and do a factory reset on the phone I gave up. I managed to restore a factory one but it did the same thing.
So I was trying to copy files from the gusto 2 and I am guessing I copied a wider range than what I was supposed to. I copied a range NV items over to the HTC from the Gusto 2 but after rebooting and deactivating airplane mode (I was able to go to settings at this point) it tried to connect and it just rebooted instead. After that, it kept rebooting once it reached the welcome screen.
I was able to follow various tutorials on how to flash roms and it would complete successfully, once that was done the rom would load, in this case 'Viper4G_3.1.7" and it would take time at the animation screen and then reach home screen, after that the three bottom lights would glow and the phone just crashes and stays there forever, no reboot or anything, just cashed, after a hard reboot it would not reach home screen but get stuck at animation screen and crash there as well. First, the bottom lights would glow and then short after it would stop animating indicating a crash. I'm running twrp 2.6.0.0 jewel.
Any ideas of why this is happening; I'm assuming those NV files get replaced unless the roms don't touch those files. I did a full wipe and then install from internal, and tried external sd as well. Both appear to be doing the same thing.
Here is a pic of my bootloader screen:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I'm guessing everyone is clueless about this version? As you can see I'm s-off and viper4G can be installed s-on. Everything installs smoothly but I can't get it to boot properly.
I'm thinking since you're S-off you can try running VipeRUU, which will return your phone back to completely stock, locked & S-on. I would try that and start over.

I was able to load a stock RUU and I know this because it loaded up like before but it does the same thing. Just boot loop of death. and I meant to say that I'm s-on. I tried DirtyRacun and got to the step where the RUU is loaded and unlock the phone. after that, it rebooted to the phone and it just boot looped as you can see on the video, making me unable to finish the last step which is to activate babyracun by activating usb debugging and running the command using Ubuntu. http://youtu.be/XTLXG26lK68

HTC One won't boot, mount, or flash

Good evening everyone. I have a bit of a conundrum and I'm hoping the community can help. A buddy of mine recently gave me his HTC One (M7) to fix. According to him, he attempted to install the latest GPE rom for the phone (his is the Tmobile branded version) and it failed to install. Afterwards it would only bootloop on the HTC logo screen. I took a look at things and here's what I found:
When I first boot the device I see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can hold down the volume key on reboot and get into the bootloader. This is the screen:
Initially I couldn't even get into recovery. After a bit of futzing around (and installing the HTC drivers) I was able to use fastboot to push CWM touch 6.0.4.6 onto the device. After that, I was able to fully boot into the CWM environment and navigate around. However, when I try to do basically anything that touches the partitions, the device reboots. I grabbed a screenshot of the mounts and storage page:
The top option which you can't see says mount /system.
Initially I thought I could just copy a ROM.zip over to the device and flash it, however, when I attempt to mount the USB storage, it doesn't do anything. I also noticed two directories that I'd never seen before in CWM, the /firmware/mdm and /firmware/q6. It appears that somewhere along the line my buddy attempted to install a different radio or a rom he was using attempted to. In any case, I can mount up the various folders with no issue except for the two /firmware folders. I just get an error. Any time I attempt to format any of the other folders, the phone simply reboots.
I tried also to install a ROM.zip by sideloading with ADB, but the device isn't recognized by my computer when I do so. I've also attempted to flash TWRP recovery, but any time I try to boot into it, it just bootloops immediately.
I've spent days scouring these forums and google in general to no avail. I'm sure I'm missing something simple or misunderstanding some kind of direction, but at this point I'm so frazzled that I might end up chucking the phone out the window. The end goal here is to just end up with a working, booting phone in any way possible. Once I get it to that point I can handle the rest.
Thanks in advance.

the phone dosnt have an OS on it and its still on hboot 1.44 somehow.... but you can recover it with a otg cable and a flash drive. you cannot mount the One through recovery. but with an otg cable and a flash drive you can place flashable files on the flash drive and flash them through recovery to get the phone in a working state.
Edit:
this should do the trick. CLICK MEH! you will ahve to obtain S-off ofcourse. jsut put a stock ROM on it then use a s-off method then proceed to do GPE conversion.
Thanks for the idea. I've got an OTG cable on the way from Amazon right now, so I'll give it a shot when it gets here and report back.

Can't Boot into TWRP

Hello all,
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I've got a AT&T M8. Last week I rooted it and converted it to a GPE M8. I am brand new to rooting, but found some videos on YouTube (Sakitech's videos). Everything worked perfectly, and in about 1.5 hours I had a GPE M8. The problem is that I cannot boot into TWRP in order to back-up the phone. When I try to boot into TWRP, I get this picture:

}
The phone then boots normally after a couple of minutes.
Any ideas of how I can get into TWRP?
Thanks.

I do believe that is the stock recovery image or image that is displayed when you dont have a recovery installed. Either way you didn't flash the TWRP recovery properly. Sorry, try again. Use the toolkit.
What I did with my M7 was download twrp on my PC and the transfer it to my ABD I had made with my various drivers and such. From there I put my phone into bootloader mode and then pressed the power button to get into fastboot. Plug in the data cable and then it will say fastbootusb. Then go to your folder on the PC and open up a command prompt window. CTL and right click of the mouse. Then I typed in "fastboot flash recover recovery.img". Make sure that you have renamed the twrp.img file to " recovery.img". That should get you into twrp recovery the next time you try. I hope I got that right for you.

Thanks for the responses.
I'm showing my newbie stripes here, but how do I flash the TWRP recovery again? Do I need to do anything special, or just go back to that particular step in the video that I used? Will it wipe my phone?
Also, quicksilver53, I apologize, but your post went way over my head. I'd need step by step directions for that.
Well, I installed TWRP again, and it seems to work now. I am currently making a backup. I discovered that installing TWRP does not wipe my phone. Phew ... didn't want to have to reinstall everything all.
Thanks for the responses.
Sorry for that. I'm happy you got it sorted out.

[Q] Windows 8 will not detect phone when in ADB Sideload

So I tried to flash CyanogenMod 12 to my phone, however, because this was my first time doing this sort of thing, I missed turning off the security on my phone before I wiped the phone. Obviously, at this point it was bricked, and after searching around, I discovered ADB Sideload. So I went through the process to get ADB, downloaded Android SDK and installed the platform tools, and I thought I was going to be able to save my phone. However, when I ran the TWRP ADB sideload, this happens when trying to input my file View attachment 3306335
I tried to check the drivers and found the HTC One X+ drivers, however when I try to install the drivers, this happens

When it does sometimes work, it gets to around 40% then just stops, or does "Total transfer 0.01" or something like that
There's also the problem that I couldn't actually flash a recovery without using the tool built for it by somebody on here, and that wouldn't let me get ClockworkMod Recovery for some reason
Please help me here, I'm incredibly stuck and even trying a RUU doesn't do anything
By the way it seems to connect just fine outside of ADB Sideload, it even gets detected by ADB when the server actually works and doesn't fail to start "ACK"
(EDIT) I do hear the phone disconnect and reconnect when I enter Sideload

Uninstall HTC sync and leave drivers. If that is indeed installed.

Trying to wipe locked S7 Edge, can't go into recovery mode

Hi, I have someone's old s7 edge which I'd like to use in place of my A10e lol, it still has their password on it tho. The screen seems to have some really weird issues, if I power it on using the home button or power button half the time the screen will be extremely dim/green and half of it will flicker. It looks and works perfectly fine the rest of the time though. I got it to the "recovery booting" screen, but the screen just flashes then goes near-black (still slightly glowing, doesn't turn off) then boots normally about a minute later.
I've tried around 40 times and can't get it to go into recovery mode. I have no idea what I'm doing but I put it in download mode and tried using Odin to flash it with files I got off sammobile. It didn't even connect at first but did after I installed Kies. Odin said it passed, the phone restarted, then just booted back up to the same lock screen. I then tried installing TWRP onto it, which failed saying it couldn't open the serial(com) port? That's where I am now... does anyone know if there's any way to wipe the phone?
@eggy1
If you've phone's Stock ROM ( ZIP file ) at your fingertips then you simply re-flash phone with this Stock ROM to bring back the phone to its initial state.
If you can access phone by means of ADB/Fastboot then it's really simple to do a clean install of phone's Stock ROM..

I can't get adb to detect the phone, but I flashed it successfully with Odin using the files from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-stock-odin-firmware-t3582821
It now seems to be stuck in a loop of recovery booting into the download mode screen, and occasionally into a caution screen that says no command.. should I try another rom?
@eggy1
Use SamFirm Tool what allows you to manually search and download the Stock ROM matching your phone.
