OK. The RUU you flashed was for the developer's world wide edition M8 not the AT&T model. You need to download this RUU:
1.58.502.1 full RUU is posted here -- http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_M...0_signed_2.exe
First you need to be in fastboot mode to run this RUU. Here is how:
1. Power off the smartphone completely. – make sure that it is not connected to your PC.
2. After several seconds with the phone turned off you should press Power and the volume down key at the same time.
3. After the device powers on you need to continue to hold the Volume Down key. This will load the Bootloader Mode of your HTC One M8 and you can release all buttons. – note that this might be trickier than you would normally expect, so you may have to try several times to get it right.
4. Use the Volume buttons to select FASTBOOT option.
5. Connect the phone to your computer. You should see the phone go from Fastboot to Fastboot USB
Now run the RUU you downloaded from the link above.
Hope this works out for you
thanks
Thanks a lot! i love you man! Well I supose that i going to wait until at&t launches lolipop. I am afraid to broke my phone again.
Thanks again!

Hello i got a problem im not sure but i think i bricked my phone i dont really know how to expalin it either, well i want it to update it so i downloaded update from htc website for sprint but i think i had to download it for hero G2 with i found later so i installled it i had an error phone turned off now i cant do anything with it it wont turn on only vibrate 5 times? if i connect it with usb laptop wont see it i cant boot it or nothing but when i put it on charge it heats up? any ideas?
Sounds like a brick to me... Do you get any output on screen, what OS are you using on your PC, any response from it ?
nothing happens when i use usb cable and windows 7. Today when i was trying to turn my phone on again power on/off + home it vibrated 5 times?
Pull out your battery, plug it back in, hold POWER+VOL DOWN, and it sould take you to HBoot, if you cant do that then im very sorry and your phone is hard bricked...
i was wondering would that work?
How to flash stock ROM through SD-Card
*This only works with current stock ROM or newer version. Downgrading will fail till we have SuperCID. More about that in here!
1. Run the RUU and get the rom.zip from it. (Find it in here "c:\users\%usrename%\appdata\temp\")
2. Copy rom.zip to the SD-Card and rename it to PJ46IMG.zip
3. Put the SD-Card in the card reader.
4. Put the card reader onto the USB Y-Cable.
5. Plugin the USB Y-Cable to your One X.
6. Hold volume down and press the power button while keeping the volume down pressed. This will get you into HBOOT.
7. Wait a couple of seconds and you'll see that it finds PJ46IMG.zip
8. Follow the instructions on your screen =)

Biggest question is - can You go into fastboot mode? Because there is a way to flash Your phone is You can go into fast boot, and there should be a manual somewhere here, not using One X, but hero ;]
Let us know, does the phone respond by going into fastboot.
Additionaly : how did You downloaded firmware for sprint, as You should give IMEI number on HTC site.

Was running jellybomb for a few months, nothing has changed recently. This morning I started to notice a static looking colorful screen for a few seconds before the locker showed up. Later in the day, the same static was taking over my status bar. Then static staying on the screen, would take several power cycles befpre I could get to my phone, the displays were completely out of whack, and while the phone seemed to operate and run just fine (according to the sounds & vibration feedback)... the screen would lag behind by about 5 seconds, and remain for the most part, jumbled and static everywhere, making it impossible to do anything.
I backed up my phone, was able to clear cache, dalvic cache, factory reset, etc, I'm s-on so I flashed the kernel (boot.img) via adb fastboot, the phone re-set (don't remember how), and am unable to get into bootloader in order to install the rom. I hit the power and it vibrates and is "on", just a black screen. I cannot get the timing right on doing a simulated battery pull and power + vol. down to get into the bootloader since the screen is not visible. Any other way I can get to boot loader/recovery? I have the SDK installed, can the phone be viewed on my computer? All I need to do is install the rom.
I have TWRP on it BTW.
Anyone suggestions would be greatly appreciated, this one's over my head.
Thanks,
-Mike
****** SOLVED *******
Took it to sprint, the tech said he asked HTC what causes this. They say it is static buildup on the ribbon for the display. They are able to take a strong magnet and run it across the ribbon to fix the problem.
Try holding power button a while longer, do you see the lights on the bottom started to flash? If so release power button and hold volume down.

Have you tried using adb to boot in to recovery?

k, think I got my phone into usb-fastboot. I did the exact same w/ my girls phone and counted the seconds for it to come up, then did the same on my phone.
Now, when I do the command "adb devices" either of the two phones. I was getting "device list attached". I then checked device manager and found "Android USB Devices" and under that "My HTC", but no ADB devices. I tried all the drivers I could find..... latest HTC sync.. updated from the SDK manager, etc. I cannot get adb to connect with the phones. I don't even know where to look, I've been at this for two days now.
Can someone that is far smarter than me please help. $15 paypal to whoever gets my phone back from hell.

k, got the phone connected via adb, and was able to get the phone in recovery (TWRP), however, the screen is just static, so I can only navigate in the dark. I need to find a sure fire way to install the rom. I have a copy of the rom on the external SD, and on the phone. Is there a way I can view my phone's screen with my computer? Or another way of installing the rom using adb, or some other program?
uuuh. So damn frustrating. Someone PLEASE help. I am now just trying to relock bootloader and run RUU to get things back to sanity, but I cannot seem to get fastboot working. I can only be in recovery. I adb reboot-bootloader, give it a few, then press the power button once. Now I should be in fastboot-usb, but I cannot communicate via adb.... What the heck is going on?
You need to list your bootloader details: hboot, baseband, software version, etc. If you are hboot 1.15 or 1.19 I would go to the dirty racun site and follow their instructions through step #11 to get your phone working again. Follow their instructions exactly. Pay attention to step #9 and if you see the failure, use the arrow keys to move up in the cmd window and rerun the ruu. You don't have to continue all the way to s-off if you don't want to, but if you download the appropriate ruu for your current hboot and follow their instructions it will get you back to a working phone and you can go from there.

Thanks, I will check it out if I get stuck again. Me screen gave me just enough where I re-installed the rom, and was able to install drivers for fastboot. I was then able to re-lock the bootloader. I am currently trying to run a RUU to see if that fixes the problem. At the very least, I can take it to sprint and have them deal with it now that it is back to stock.

Hey guys,
My friend asked me to help him out with his Motorola Razr XT910 phone. He tried to root it and flash a new rom but something went wrong because the phone is half(?)-dead now.
It just shows the Motorola logo when I start it and a few seconds later it shuts down. The strange thing is that it turns itself on automatically a few minutes later so I can't turn it off at all. Also, I can't start it with fastboot mode either (volume up+down+power).
When I try to connect it to my PC it's appearing as an unrecognised device so I'm clueless now. Most likely he killed/flashed/erased the bootloader somehow (he tried to flash something in fastboot mode).
Is there anything that I could try?
Does the phone still have battery? Because if it doesn't then you would need to get a factory cable.
Here's how to get into fastboot mode :
(1) When you see the Motorola logo, press the volume down button + power button and wait for the phone to turn off (there will be a slight white flash line on the screen)
(2) As soon as it does, press the volume up+volume down+power button and you should get it. It isn't easy, will take a few tries.
However, if it's battery is drained, just get the factory cable. It automatically puts the phone in fastboot mode
Plug it up to charge for at least 10 minutes then do power and down arrow for 20 seconds then release both and do power and up arrow till you see fastboot. Let me know how you make out.
Thank you guys, I was able to get into fastboot and the phone is working again (after debricking and flashing back the old JB rom).
Another question: I was able to root the phone with the chinese rootmaster application (From this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402943 ) Is it possible to downgrade it to ICS? The phone's owner wants a hungarian ROM and the current JB rom is not containing this language. I found a central european ICS and most likely it's the latest hungarian ROM but I don't know how to flash or install it properly. Can you help me out with this? Is it possible if the phone is rooted?

You can't downgrade,it isn't possible.
Try to flash another JB rom,some of them must have hungarian language.

This happened this moring for no apparent reason, i moved a file for a game to be installed (final fantasy iv) in the android/oob folder and rebooted, and it never fully did.
Im stuck on the HTC logo forever.
At 1st i said to myself, lets go to hboot and make a factory reset, so i pressed volume - and power, and when i did, instead of restoring the device (wich was unlocked and rooted) it went back to the neverending htc logo, and it does the same for the recovery and the erase everything one, so from that point i tried installing a few firmwares from my carrier which is videotron, and it alway failed either because the signature is not compatible or simply because the device is not detected... it seems to get worst try by try...
I also tried to install from the sd card, adb or Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V5.1 and 4.0.
Nothing works, please help me.
I just bought this phone used a month ago, and i loved it, and its unfair for it to die for no serious reason.
Are you able to access bootloader?

If it went to the HTC logo, you probably accidentally bypassed the recovery.
Turn the phone off, remove battery wait 10 seconds, install battery, wait 10 seconds, hold the volume DOWN button, while holding the volume DOWN button, press and release the power button. Keep holding the volume DOWN button until the bootloader screen appears, and then release it.
See what you can do with that.
If it doesn't help, find the RUU for your carrier--there's a list of RUU's in General section, "They're all here now" thread, and find the instructions for properly renaming it and placing it where it needs to go to have it install.
Hi All,
I have an HTC One that is stuck in a bootloop and have no idea how to fix it.
Unfortunately, there was a screen lock and after failed attempts, it started to delete the data. Stupidly, I tried to reset the phone at this point. As a result, it is stuck in a bootloop.
I have tried holding power and volume down button, volume down button by itself, both volume buttons and still can't get it to fastboot screen.
I am using Mac OSX.
Also, nothing had been done to the phone prior to this. All stock.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You have a few options, though it would be helpful if you had access to a PC, because then you could just use the RUU program to set everything right. You will need to know which variant of the One you have as in from which carrier or region, if it is an international version, as well as the system update that it was on as you can not downgrade while stock. The phone will eventually reboot if you just hold the volume keys and power together for like 30 seconds.
Option 1) Find a Windows PC and download the RUU exe, put the phone in bootloader mode, and follow the directions of the RUU.
Option 2) Unlock the bootloader at htcdev.com, install a custom recovery such as TWRP, and use a custom rom to get going. (This one you should be able to do on a Mac - voids warranty if you have one)
Option 3) Find a way to extract the rom.zip from the RUU exe and use fastboot to flash it. (Might be able to do on a Mac, though not familar with it to tell you what tool you could use to extract files from an exe on OS X)

Thanks for replying.
It is the HTC6500L that was originally used with Verizon in the US. Not sure if it matters but it is currently unlocked and using Optus sim in Australia. I'm not sure what system update it was on
I am going to try and get it working on my Mac first but it is good to know that there are options for me with a windows PC.
So you say that the phone will eventually boot if I hold both the volume buttons and power button down for about 30 seconds?
The phone is currently off as the battery has drained. If I charge it, it automatically goes to the HTC logo and into the boot loop. In order to get anything fixed, I need to get to the recovery screen right?

You'll need to get it to the bootloader screen at least. It definitely should be able to. I have had to deal with similar issues before.
