[Q] Updated Firmware and lost root and recovery - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I need some help...I updated my firmware and I must of updated with the wrong firmware...did they one with stock recovery or something. Now my phone doesn't have a custom recovery and I do not have root. I tried to download the trwp tool and flash but it says I do not have root. Also when I try to adb connect to my phone it doesn't recognise that the device is there. I am running Insert Coin 4.4.4 version 5.03. Any help is much appreciated! Also I should mention the firmware was from Captain Throwbacks thread with the latest. I am also Soff.

Very strange @Captain_Throwback's firmware should not have stock recovery included.
You can fastboot flash twrp.
ADB = OS/Recovery
Fastboot = Bootloader

My computer won't even recognize my phone now so I can't flash anything through fastboot. The command prompt says waiting for device

Unplug phone
Uninstall everything HTC and reboot PC
Install these drivers
Plug phone in (drivers should install)
If not try this:
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone, right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

Thanks that worked...flashed the recovery successful but wont let me go into it. I think its because I am not rooted. Do I just use the all in one tool to get root back?

If it flashed successfully you should be able to get into recovery.
Are you sure you flashed the correct version? There are several for the M8.

I ended up flashing another version and I got into recovery. Root Checker still says I dont have root so I am going to wipe and reflash my rom. Hopefully that will do it. Not sure what happened but I really appreciate the help with getting the drivers corrected so I could communicate with my device again. With out adb I didnt know what I was going to do.

Phone has no O/S installed, cannot detect phone to put rom zip on phone. please help

I believe I overwiped my phone, it has no rom on it now, and when I plug it into the computer, it makes the noise, but will not show up in windows explorer. I am able to boot into recovery, TRWN, although I can't do anything from there because I have no rom to install. I have tried installing the latest HTC drivers, using a different cord, disabling antivirus, pretty much everything previously listed in these forums. Is there a way to use the command prompt to send a rom over to the phone? Please help.

donwload the all in one toolkit use it to erase cache then install recovery. after that either mount usb otg and copy rom to sd or sideload a rom. all in one toolkit automates everything you need to do:good::good:
I wish I could say that worked, however when I try to use the AIO toolkit, when it launces the command prompt it says 'device not found.' same problem as windows. There has to be a way to force a file on there. Any ideas? Again, I can boot to recovery but have no zip on the phone memory to flash.

if it says device not found press the power button once and try again. it will say once in fastboot close the first window if you close the first window and nothing happens then press power and it should start
if your in fastboot options should be----bootloader----reboot----reboot bootloader----power down

Thanks for getting me this far. Mounting didn't work, so I sideloaded rom. it is showing up on the phone as "sideload.zip" i try to run and it fails. Any ideas?
Have you used this command?
Code:
adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
If yes, it will work.
Maybe sideload.zip contains rom and if sideload.zip don't have meta-inf it will not flashed

OK, so I didn't say yes to the question this time after sideloading android revolution. same thing. goes blank then reboots to bootloader menu. So I tried sideloading viperrom 1.04. This time after it finished sideloading it randomly installed instelfl, and now viperrom is installed, its booting up to the phone now finally, yet before anything can initialize, it just reboots again. It's been caught in this boot loop about ten minutes now. No end in sight. Any ideas?
ViperRom from Sprint or AT&T one forum?
Your phone is branded or no-brand?
However, boot into recovery, and use this command:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
, then flash it
Also, I have now tried flashing and installing TrickDroid which also boots to the O/S but then after a few seconds reboots and starts all over again. I just let it run, and it boots, then reboots, over, and over, and over again. Any ideas?

I fixed it!!! I had to download the latest RUU for the HTC One. I ran the RUU after relocking, and then started the root process from scratch. RUU is the only thing that would work. Also, the best rom I have gotten to work for sprint is ViperRom, TrickDroid installed and booted but the camera wouldnt work. Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Recovery not working after trying to flash twrp with flashify

Ok I was trying to update my trwp to 2.6.3.3 on my HTC one so I could install the new Viper One Rom. I located the img file in flashify hit flash. It said it was flashed and booted into recovery then it was stuck. Was able to restart my phone but now when I try to go into recovery it gets stuck. How do I fix this. Is there a way to fix this. should I unroot the phone or what I'm lost on what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Q] Can't get past bootloader and can't transfer new files

X1053, rooted and unlocked bootloader on T Mob US
Tried to install a new kernel but it failed. Wiped cached (factory reset in twrp) and now it won't boot past the animation logo.
As its not booted into the OS, windows won't recognize it as a device so i can't install a new rom to try again. Windows 8 'bings' when I connect it but it won't load as a drive.
I CAN get into AP Fashboot Flash Mode If I then go to Recovery, it still takes me to twrp. But there are not zip files to install that work and I can't work out how to copy them over without windows recognizing the device?
Thanks in advance
You'll maybe need to flash the same stock firmware version you're on now...4.4 or 4.4.2 or whatever version you were on. Then root again.
This will help you...

Thanks for the reply. the problem is I can't connect to the phone to transfer a new firmware on. It 'bings' on USB plug but won't open as a USB drive. I can't get the phone to boot, can only get it to recovery. i tried reinstalling the motorola drivers again but still no luck.
When it was running Ok, I could plug it in (when it used to load into the android OS OK) and it would appear as a USB drive in Windows 8. I also tried on a different laptop.

When you boot into bootloader, does the phone itself recognize that it is connected via USB? If so, you have to obtain the current SBF of your phone and flash over the files via fastboot.exe and mfastboot.exe.
There are plenty of guides throughout this site. Take your time and read everything before you make your first move.

OK panic nearly over! I managed to get it flashed using RDS lite. 4.4 is back on now, although I lost my root Not sure I want to go down the whole downgrade to 4.2.2 etc but I'll see. Thanks again
Just adding a reply in case anyone has a similar issue.
RSDLite managed to get the firmware back on. It lost root, but what actually happened is the recovery got deleted / corrupted.
So i went back through the rooting guide which started by adding twrp and then flashing. Rebooted, and SuperSU tells me all is OK and root is there.
:laugh:
Is your phone recognized by fastboot or adb?
Since your bootloader is unlocked, manually flash the 4.4.2 firmware files, then TWRP, then boot into recovery, use adb to push SuperSU or whichever root program you prefer to /sdcard, then use TWRP to flash it.

Got OTA update but stil in 4.4w1

Hello,
I have my G watch R for a week and because there was no update, i've tried to install it by myself after reading some posts on XDA.
I've tried that :
- Enter Bootloader (swipe top left-bottom right as soon as the LG logo pops up on boot)
- Unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and boot the watch normally once
- Turn off and re-enter bootloader
- Flash 5.0.1 Stock Recovery (fastboot flash recovery filename.img)
- Enter recovery and ADB sideload the update (tap the android, select install update from ADB and enter adb sideload filename.zip)
All this works until the "sideload" part because ADB can't see my watch when it's on recovery mode.
So i have locked again the bootloader and i thought to give up, when yesterday, OTA arrived...
But it hasn't worked : a bar has loaded and it arrived on a red triangle with an exclamation mark, i've clicked on it and i had the recovery mode menu (reboot, install from adb, etc)
What can I do to make work this OTA ?
Thanx for help !
have you tried to flash the original recovery?
Yes, I've tried several times, I think that is why i can't update with OTA.
But is there a solution ? Is it possible to reinstall original recovery and will it solve my problem ?
Or must I install the update with ADB ? Because I still don't know how make the watch recognized when in recovery mode (not even recognized with a yellow triangle, like it was unplugged )
I had the same problem but with 4.4w.2 and I solved it flashing the stock recovery. unfortunately I can not find your recovery version, I would have linked. to manually update do not know ... I'm sorry. Find your recovery and flash it!
Thanx for your answer,
I thought to do that, but I neither have found 44w1 stock, i'm trying with 44w2 stock and it doesn't work.
I'll try to find 44w1 stock, thanx for confirmation about this way.
So, while I can't find 44w1 stock (i think nobody has uploaded it on the internet because nobody wants to put 44w1 on his watch ^^ ), I've tried TWRP Recovery
When I try to launch the 5.5.1 zip install , I have this error message on the watch in TWRP Recovery :
"this package is for device: lenok. this device is dory"
I've made some research and found that Dory is for G Watch and not for G Watch R, so what ?
I don't understand...
Anyway, if someone knows where to find 44w1 stock...
Did you enabled the debugging mode and gave permission for it on the watch?
sounds like you are missing the ADB drivers on your PC
and be careful with sideloading the update to select the correct one, e.g. the last update is an incremental one and won't flash on 4.4 (or if you get it to flash, it will probably not worke)
good luck!
Have a look here... http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t647135-20.html.
It's not English, but the links are all there. I recently updated a watch from 4.4 to 5.11 using these images. Put the watch into Bootloader and install the ADB drivers, then start with 4.4w2 and work your way up. It takes time as you'll need to restart the watch each time.

No I'm not, same answer : I could flash a recovery without any problem : it's only when I'm on recovery that I can't communicate with the watch : It's working when android wear is started and when I'm on bootload. Thanx for the warning

Thank you but i have all those images, I think I need 44w1 recovery and only this one
Thank you all
what happens if you just flash the 4.4w2 full image? I remember there being issues with the 4.4 recovery and I had to manually update to the 5.0.1 recovery before then upgrading further.
edit...what drivers are you using? I think you need the adb composite ones and not the normal adb ones.
I'm using the naked ones I think.
What image are you talking about ? System or recovery ?

flashing a recovery happens in fastboot mode, which requires an unlocked bootloader, but not enabling the debugging mode
sideloading however happens (once the recovery has been loaded) through ADB - and ADB requires the right drivers on your PC as well as the right tools/developer environment
try to connect your normally booted watch to your PC and run
PHP:
adb devices
if that lists your watch, you are good to go, otherwise ADB isn't set up properly
The watch is listed by adb devices when on work mode or in bootloader mode, but not when in recovery mode.
That's what I said first

Do you have the G Watch R (round) or the G Watch (Square)?
"The watch is listed by adb devices when on work mode or in bootloader mode, but not when in recovery mode."
I had this problem too. When you're in recovery mode you have to open the windows device manager and windows should tell you something about an uninstalled driver. You need to right click this device and install the adb drivers.

Can't boot into recovery.

Hello,
So I have a P7 at B126. I tried rooting it with kingroot and tried to install TWRP. I got to the part where you have to use fastboot to flash the img and it fails so I gave up. Now I am trying to get into recovery and I can't. It just either goes to a black screen or a Boot failed screen.
Thanks in advance
Hi, I'm a little confused right now. Explain what you did so far a bit more detailed, so we could help you.. Which instruction were you are following? What was the exact error? Is your bootloader unlocked? Can you boot normally?

I can boot normally.
What I did was this.
I followed the guide to root my phone. Rooted it and then tried to install the TWRP custom recovery. It failed at the installing the recovery for some permission error. So I stopped trying to install it. Now I apparently don't have a recovery at all.
I also installed some root apps like SetCPU, Xposed(Which didn't work), SuperSU(Which didn't Work)
If I try to adb reboot recovery it just takes me to the boot failed screen with the android logo on it. If I try using the Power + Down button it just shows me the huawei ascent P7 screen and just go black.
Also when I go to the fastboot/rescure mode it says my bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks for the reply.
Ah okay. So, boot into the fastboot mode, put the recovery.img in the adb folder on your pc, run cmd and type 'cd c://..' (location of adb folder), then 'fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery.img]' (for example 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img'). Now you should get a working recovery.
Are you sure you really got root access? Eventually due to this you got the permission error..

Are you sure you really got root access? Eventually due to this you got the permission error..

I do because adb has admin permissions but fastboot doesn't. I tried that with trying to flash twrp on my p7 but i get a failed error after like a second I the command. So I tried flashing a stock recovery and it throws the same error in fastboot.
When I type fastboot devices I get this
? fastboot
No id for my phone but adb sees it.
Ok, your pc does obviously not recognize the p7 in fastboot mode. Did you install the Hi Suite? Through this way you should get the correct drivers (maybe even update/reinstall). If this does not help, I think I can't help you, sorry. You may wait for more help or google what do when the device isn't recognized in fastboot.
Just flash the newest SuperSU.zip when you got a recovery.. That should fix problems with root apps/ the su binary.
Offtopic: I'm not sure if you noticed, but, you're running a pretty old firmware.. You may think about updating

Hi Suite installed and correct drivers are loaded(I hope) and yes thats why Im trying to get this fixed because it wont even let me update firmwares
Try on another pc.. You could also try flashify (look in Google play), but in case of a softbrick you have real problem. Do this on your own risk, most times nothing bad will happen, but it could!
I would recommend to flash the stock recovery, update up to B621 and then installing a custom recovery.
can't boot into recovery

Hello
So I have a P7 at B126. I tried rooting it with kingroot and tried to install TWRP. I got to the part where you have to use fastboot to flash the img and it fails so I gave up. Now I am trying to get into recovery and I can't. It just either goes to a black screen or a Boot failed screen.
Thanks in advance

Hi mate.
1. Use your pc, Go shuame.com and download "rom flash program".
2. Enter fastboot&rescue mode and connect your phone and PC
3. The program will recognize your phone.
4. Download anyrom and flash by the program.
The process will not complete but you will have Shuame recovery.
But my case it didn't work properly
5. I downloaded CWM from here "pan.baidu.com/s/1dDq0qcT" password :bttc
Start this program with connect your phone and press nomber 1 and ENTER.
I don't exactly remember my phone was on fastboot & rescue mode or recovery mode.
But I could get recovery and did rom flash so it was fixed.
*****from: Godfrey Peligrino ---sorry i dont know how to post BUT, this guide helped me with my p7 L10 B619..just connect it to pc and let it boot over and over and when pc acknowledge you phone..click rom and just wait if not do it again..hope this will help you too..the writings is on chinese so just copy the english thumbnails before you proceed to download...(QUOTE) THANKS TO THE GUY WHO POST THIS....HE IS TOMODACHI5..
