HTC One M8 GSM Developer Edition
Installed recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.8-m8.img using Fastboot,
and then installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip
then took a nandroid backup.
Booted into Android - no problems.
But now when I power down it reboots into CWM Recovery.
Even when I select the advanced options of CWM Recovery, and Power Down,
it reboots into CWM Recovery.
Selecting Power Down from Fastboot also reboots into CWM Recovery.
From CWM Recovery I can
Boot System Now
and it boots into the system,
But when I power down, it reboots again into CWM Recovery.
ie, I can't power down.
(note A restart from Android does an actual restart into the phone OS, not into CWM Recovery.)
The above only happens if a power or usb cable is connected.
If no power cable is connected, it shuts down normally.
But, if after it is shut down, I connect a power cable,
it boots into CWM Recovery !!
Note that if I turn back on Power/Fastboot, then I can shutdown properly even with power connected.
Anybody have any idea what is causing this
and what I can do about it?
Have done this before on a Galaxy Nexus with no problems.
Am lost and stuck.
Wrong forum
ok, but then which is the correct forum?
The only forum I can find on CWM Recovery for the HTC OneM8 is for Verizon.
thanks

its a little confusing when HTC release different phones with the same name, always refer to your phone model, not its consumer name.
you are in the Htc one forum (M7)
your forum (htc one M8) is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8
twrp for the M8 can be found here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
cwm for the m8 can be found in the sticky thread of the M8 general forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51375998&postcount=3
For your issue, you should try to use TWRP instead of cwm and see if it works. Don't forget to ''fastboot erase cache'' after flashing the recovery.img
ahhhh...I tried so hard too.
Thanks and apologies.
Will repost in the M8 forum.
while I think I can delete the post, I can't delete the thread.
If some kind moderator could delete / burn / blast / brick this thread,
(or whatever else he thinks appropriate)
I would be grateful.

I rooted the nexus one as it said on the "theunlockr" web site
and the process went smoothly, the phone restarted and was working properly
next thing I wanted to add the Arabic scrpt to the phone
so I did as the "android-devs" web site said I should
and it went as it says it should
up to the point where I had to reboot, I did so
and since then the phone wont open beyond the G1 logo
I tried rooting again, but it says the phone is already Unlocked
I tried removing the files I pushed to the phone by using other Command Prompt orders such as DEL and PULL, but it didnt change anything
It goes on the Nexus one logo (the colored X) or the Android mascot with an exclamation mark in a triangle!
what to do? please help!

Assuming you have installed a ROM such as Cyanogens, hold the volume down button in while the phone starts and choose recovery. In here wipe the phone then flash the .zip file again. As long as you can get into fastboot you should be fine

You first need to fastboot flash a custom recovery, then you can use recovery to wipe and flash a custom ROM.
Yeah, the ! screen means you need to flash amon ra, do a search and you will find many a thread, start here, -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829&highlight=amon+ra+recovery There are guides in the stickies on this section and several others available with a quick search. From there you can put a rom on the sd and flash it. Just relax, a little searching for instructions and you will be up and running.
I smell a "HELP I BRICKED MY N1!!" thread starting really soon......
Heads up man, DON'T FLASH RADIO IF YOU HAVE NEVER FLASHED A ROM!!!

How about, "don't mess with your phone if you're a noob and don't know what you're doing..."? The OP should have read a lot more about the process prior to trying to unlock and flash.

should I try to flash recovery image!?
Yes, you must flash the amon ra recovery. Read the available tutorials available up in the stickies in this section. The amon ra thread I linked to in my previous post also has instructions. Basically you want to download it and put the image in the same place as fastboot. Boot your phone into fastboot mode by powering on while holding the trackball. Connect your phone via usb. Open a command window in the same folder where fastboot was and where you just put the amon ra recovery image by holding shift and right clicking inside the folder and selecting open command window here from the resulting menu. Type or copy paste "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img" without the quotation marks. Again read some of the tutorials so you have a good idea of what you are trying to do, many of them walk you through step by step. Once you have done that you can move on to flashing a rom.

worked wonderfully
thank you for the help <3
Ok, glad you got er done. Next time and there will be a next time if you continue to play with this stuff, relax. Its almost always something that can be fixed as long as you dont pull the battery during boot or a radio flash.

I guess you should first try the basic steps like what Kiserai has posted instead of going for the more advanced ones right away like flashing the kernel
Like what Kiserai said, I think your battery is just super low. Just put it in the charger for a while.

Hi there,
I want to flash a new rom but for some reason I can't understand clockwork has gone. I rooted my legend a while ago with the help of a guide and ended up installing modaco's stock 2.2 legend rom. All fine, works great.
But if I want to boot into recovery mode all I get is the default recovery screen and if I select recovery mode I only get the hated red triangle of death screen
Why did this happend and what can I do to fix it?
I have the same issue, try fake flash.
It's a better option anyway
Test:
market...rom manager...install...open rom manager...and now the option:clockwork recovery install(it downloaded and install)...
now boot in recovery(with rom manager)
lwiss
On recovery (red triangle screen) press together volume up and power button. That should bring you to clockworkmod recovery
Why don't people SEARCH before asking questions? This issue has been covered like a thousand times before... and btw.. No questions in development section..
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I did search. But I couldn't find the anwser in clockwork related topics. The anwser is in fake flash topics. I'm not surprised people can't find it. Maybe it should be mentioned in a sticky?
It is. Read the sticky. "Fake flash by Koush - Launching recovery without a PC"
I loaded the latest CM7 RC to my SD card, and selected it via ROM Manager to flash, and when the phone reboots, it hangs on the HTC screen.
Any ideas? Help!
I think the issue maybe related to the Clockwork recovery that was just updated, but I cannot tell. I did Flash the ROM a month ago before the ROM Manager and Clockwork recovery updates.
Hold volume down button and press and release power to get into recovery, reflash from there or restore a backup

I never saw you mention a wipe, so did you ? If its your first time flashing gingerbread you need to wipe. Go to aospCMod gingerbread first post and click the "readme", its a wiki with really good instruction.
sent from a series of tubes
I will give that a read tonight. That wouldn't explain why ROM Manager is not allowing me to boot into recovery though? Would the Wipe help with that?
I will read the Wiki (in case I am asking a question that is answered there)
I Flashed the ClockworkMod again, and now I can get into recovery. I think I should be good from here. Thanks!
Just an fyi, I always flash roms from recovery directly, not rom manager. Has always worked better that way in my experience.

I have an HTC once M8 HK edition. Running the philz version of cwm. I tried to install a wifi hotspot enabling zip file and this caused my device to be unable to access the sprint LTE network at all. since the .zip was flashed, the factory data reset through cwm wont fix the problem. I tried reinstalling the rom but now cannot get past the HTC dev only startup screen. Fastboot/ recovery options are however still accessible. I think the problem could be easily solved by flashing a backup via sdcard. However, I do not have a working backup for cwm. If someone has a solution or a backup I could use that would put me back to cwm stock that would be awesome!
Hold power+volume up. When the screen goes black release power+volume up and hold the volume down button until the bootloader menu appears. Load a ROM onto your SD card, then boot into recovery from the bootloader menu. Reflash your ROM.

I've tried finding updated drivers, but cannot find a working link. Im currently downloading the odexed hk rom from androidcentral to see if that fixes things.

Download correct recovery.img from Teamwin then find the correct android.txt and zip the two in a folder which you will name 0P6BIMG put on root of external sdcard and boot to bootloader, itll recognize the zip folder and ask you to update, press vol up to update it, reboot phone, remove zip from external sdcard and then boot to recovery

These are the drivers I use and recommend.
I would be kinda leary of using roms from another site...not because they might be bad but because you will most likely get better support here on XDA if something goes wrong.

First off are you s-off? If you're s-on I know what your problem is.
Secondly the recovery of your choice is fine. It's highly unlikely that that is the cause of the issue.

I managed to get a version of 4.4.4 installed via sdcard but it is not a good version. it still has a lot of quirks. namely
it stays on the "htc powered by android" screen until it fully boots and you unlock it (which is rather difficult as it is on the wrong screen) and then the screen times out (it does not allow you to manually shut off the screen with the power button until first timeout). After the timeout everything is normal from what I can see barring that the wifi will not turn. Also I believe I am s-off.

Thank you guys so much for your patience. I have confirmed that I am s-on (thought I went s-off but I guess I never got around to it). I've downloaded the firmware you recommended. I will be switching to s-off and updating hboot/ firmware within the next few days. Hopefully that fixes things. Thanks again!
