HTC One M8 boot loop? - Sprint HTC One (M8)

My HTC One M8 keeps booting to the Cyanogen Mod splash screen or boot animation, and then just restarts. . . It does this infinitely. I can access my custom recovery (TWRP) and bootloader mode. I've tried reflashing, wiping, different versions of CM and nothing works. I have a backup of stock HTC sense 6 rom that works perfectly. I really want CM11 or CM12 to work but it just keep rebooting! And yes, I am flashing the boot.img whenever I flash a Rom.
Any help, thanks!

I believe you have to fastboot flash the kernel separately, correct me if I'm wrong @Magnum_Enforcer

Correct. It also appears he needs to update his firmware/Hboot, as well.

update his firmware/Hboot, as well. ................ How do you do this??? I notice on these sites people indicate things but don't explain what it is or how to do it. My phone started the boot cycle today and has not stopped in 8 hours..

I know you tried flashing the recovery already, but I suggest you do it again, and first download it again; could be your download was corrupt.

I wouldn't listen to this guy, let alone flash a file he provided. The website he linked to even asks to not do just that.
Here is the link to the official TWRP page:
https://twrp.me/Devices/
You should be able to find every version for the m7 here.

I understand your concern but FYI these recoveries linked by the other guy are safe. Unofficial TWRP by MDmower are well known and sometime more reliable than the official twrp versions (depending which version) .

I changed my screen, volume board, charge port and battery so i will try this.
Had the same problem after screen replacement... Stuck in bootloop and it wouldn't boot to recovery. What i did, i was going to try universal TWRP but had to unlock bootloader. so after i pushed unlock_code.bin via fastboot and phone asked if i want to unlock bootloader, i said yes, phone rebooted to recovery mode with bunch of errors. just did factory reset and wiped data/cache in recovery, did reboot in recovery and after phone started to boot up normally. give it a go.

Also post your "fastboot getvar all" please (hide your imei and serialno before posting)
As a last resort you can try flashing a stock rom via fastboot. Only if you don't mind losing all your data but atleast you will have a working phone again. Just a heads up make sure to backup all the contents of your phone to the cloud or a computer in case something like this happens again.

[Q] HTC one reboots - Regardless of rom flashed

Hello everyone,
I've got a weird issue where I can recovery/fastboot/adb just fine.
But no matter what rom I install on my HTC One it boots up to a certain point (past the HTC logo to a midpoint of google boot up logo, sometimes into the os)
I had GPE 4.3
I tried to install 4.4 with the new radios. (S-Off)
It messed up once, I re-flashed cwm (had twrp) through fast boot - tried GPE 4.3 again .. still rebooting
re-flashed through fast new twrp again (just in case) - did advanced wipe - tried both roms still the same thing.
I've tried adb push and sideload.
Am I overlooking something here ? Any help or point to some reading material would be greatly appreciated.
I've been searching and searching and it seems most in similar situations can adb sideload roms when internal storage is not accessible and be right back up. I m stil stuck in the boot loop.
Currently downloading htc one sense 4.4. if I could get GPE 4.4 to work it'd be great.
Thank You in advance.
EDIT:
Phone is HTC ONE Rogers (Canadian)

are you doing fastboot erase cache after updating the recovery ?
As you are S-off, run a full RUU to remove any problematic flashes.
Thank you for the replys.
I've tried this fastboot cache erase .. didnt work
ruu is quite hard to find for Rogers HTC one (so far no luck ../ found some old ones links broken ... will keep looking)
I also got a chance to try and flash htc stock sense 5.5 with 4.4 kitkat from here:
(durm it .. can't post outside links yet sorry ..)
Phone still reboots before fully getting to os.
Weirdly enough, if I turn it off during this cycle. It turns back on by itself too.
So far to stop the loop, I have to boot to recovery (TWRP currently) and lock it.
I am guessing I should find a way to S-ON then flash an older rom.
Anything else I could try? :fingers-crossed:
Thank You everyone.

try this TWRP Nandroid Backup
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-twrp-nandroid-backup-cid-roger001-3-22-631-1-zip/
To use – download the latest version of the needed recovery and install it via fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
or
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Then enter recovery either by holding power and vol down button until bootloader displays and then select recovery or if device is booted into the OS use this adb command:
adb reboot recovery
Now perform a test backup and allow it to complete. Then make a note of the folder in which the backup was created. Now copy the downloaded stock Nandroid into that same folder so that recovery will see the backup and allow you to restore it.

That nandroid backup method did take me the furthest so far.
(did wipe before doing it also)
The phone went into the os ... but only to reboot about 30 seconds later.
On the second reboot .. it said an app is asking for super user permission, before i could select allow or anything,
the phone has been boot looping again.
Weird.

hi clsA,
thank you for replying.
I did try that, still bootloops. I also further tried:
install teaMseven - sense55 - kk - v2.3.6 with the new stock sense 5.5 rom flashed first.
I forgot to mention earlier, I did flash a radio after initially trying to upgrade to GPE 4.4.
The radio flashed was: RadioUpdate_4T.21.3218.21_10.16.1718.01L.zip
only because it was mentioned i'd get a boot loop going to GPE 4.4 without that update.
Theres no sim in the tray, could this radio update be causing this ? I tried re-downloading this radio for a fresh copy of the file also.
IF the radio is/could be causing this, is there a way to determine which radio to try?
I found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325564
Out of any further ideas for now
[SOLVED]
Hello everyone,
After so many days of trying, I finally found a way to fix my phone.
I noticed a lot of requests all over the web of a Rogers RUU. This is how I was able to bring my Rogers HTC back to life and stock.
I found this guide:
http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/
(Same website, that has the nandroid backup posted earlier by clsA)
follow ... that guide. Should be good.
I flashed 4.4 GP afterwards (as originally intended) and then OTA'd to 4.4.2. Everything seems to be running perfectly.
Thank You for the nandroid backup and leading me to that website clsA.

Flashing via recovery reboots phone

Hello there!
I have an international HTC One with ViperOne 5.5.1.
I recently made my phone S-OFF (it has 1.54).
Now the problem: As soon as I try to flash either a kernel or a bootscreen, the phone reboots. I currently have CWM Touch (just 5 minutes now, I flashed CWMT because TWRP had the same problem). The problem is not in the recovery, since they both don't work. Fastboot works (I could flash a different recovery). It's just that as soon as something tries to flash into /system, the phone reboots itself. I tried pushing the bootscreen via adb, but that gave a 'protocol failure.'
tl;dr: Phone reboots while flashing in both TWRP and CWM Touch, eventually it didn't flash anything at all.
I am beyond reasoning and have no clue on what to do.

Try this: go back to recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3. or .4 recommended for 4.4 ROMs at the moment)
dirty-flash the ROM, then while still in recovery (no reboot), flash kernel, etc.
then reboot
Wow, that actually worked. Weird stuff if you ask me.
edit: okay it didn't entirely work. The bootscreen didn't work, but I'll retry that after again rebooting.
edit 2: Weird, the bootscreen just won't work. I guess that's just a problem with the bootscreen then.

You sure the "bootscreen" zip is for your ROM? they changed the file-naming in 4.4 or 4.3 (don't remember as i never use them), so double check that part
Yeah, I already fixed it!

[Q] Rooted, S-Off, Recovery. Can't boot and phone shows no OS at bootloader. Help :(

I have the following:
Sprint M8
Unlocked via HTCDev
Rooted with SU
S-Off via FireWater
Removed tamper
Updated firmware to latest
When I attempt to flash any kind of ROM, the flash succeeds, but when I reboot I'm stuck at the bootloader screen. The phone doesn't show an OS on it at all, and only goes to the bootloader no matter what. I can get access to it with adb and fastboot, transfer files and flash zip/img no problem, but nothing appears to stick. I've tried wiping a bunch of times with different recoveries and different ROMS with the same result. Any ideas or am I out of luck? Thanks in advance

What recovery are you using, and what ROMs have you tried to flash, specifically?
Try sticking with one of each that is known to be working.

[Q] Cannot Access Recovery

Hey Guys,
Really strange situation here with my HTC One:
It is originally from T-Mobile US although I have brought it to Europe now.
Basically, and I think this happened when implementing an OTA update from my rom, I have lost all access to recovery... any recovery
1) I have erased and re flashed recovery from fastboot, tried both TWRP and Clockwork.
2) I have tried different firmware versions, albeit I don't know which combination is most likely to work...
3) cannot access recovery from phone or via fastboot/adb command, cannot factory reset, cannot flash another rom...
4) Even with hboot locking unlocking and then reflashing of Recovery, still no access.
Funnily, the rom was working fine, but I could not upgrade or change it without recovery...
Phone details below, any help you can provide would be most welcome, I'm not a developer but I've been using custom android roms on phones and tablets for some years and have never encountered this.
Many Many thanks!
Phone Details:
- Carrier Unlocked with T-Mobile code
- Bootloader unlocked with HTC Dev method
- Super CID
- S-OFF
- HBOOT 1.54 (was also on 1.57 but have changed as part of trouble shooting)
- Radio 4T.29.3218.08
- OS 6.09.401.5 (have tried a couple of firmware versions)
- Rom MaximusHD 44.0.1 (now wiped due to troubleshooting with locked/unlocked hboot)

- Carrier Unlocked with T-Mobile code
- Bootloader unlocked with HTC Dev method
- Super CID
- S-OFF
- HBOOT 1.54 (was also on 1.57 but have changed as part of trouble shooting)
- Radio 4T.29.3218.08
- OS 6.09.401.5 (have tried a couple of firmware versions)
- Rom MaximusHD 44.0.1 (now wiped due to troubleshooting with locked/unlocked hboot)

So what exactly is the problem, does the flash fail? Or successfully flashing but won't load? Does it bootloop or get stuck on a particular screen?

Hey Guys,
Really strange situation here with my HTC One:
It is originally from T-Mobile US although I have brought it to Europe now.
Basically, and I think this happened when implementing an OTA update from my rom, I have lost all access to recovery... any recovery
1) I have erased and re flashed recovery from fastboot, tried both TWRP and Clockwork.
2) I have tried different firmware versions, albeit I don't know which combination is most likely to work...
3) cannot access recovery from phone or via fastboot/adb command, cannot factory reset, cannot flash another rom...
4) Even with hboot locking unlocking and then reflashing of Recovery, still no access.
Funnily, the rom was working fine, but I could not upgrade or change it without recovery...
Phone details below, any help you can provide would be most welcome, I'm not a developer but I've been using custom android roms on phones and tablets for some years and have never encountered this.
Many Many thanks!

i guess your problem is you see that written " Entering Recovery " but it wont . right ? if it is the case then you have to lock the bootloader and unlock it again after you unlock it type fastboot erase cache in the fastboot mod and then flash the recovery and then clear cache again ( reboot bootloader maybe and then enter recovery )it will definitely work. Well worked for me Best of Luck

When you enter recovery, be it from reboot or from bootloader, it shows "entering recovery", then goes dark for a second (you'd expect TWRP screen next) and then goes back to "entering recovery" and doesn't move.

Try this one http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of -recovery".img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then select recovery from the bootloader menu. :good:

Tried playguy1 method but with the 2.7 TWRP I was originally on. No luck, after relock/unlock/wipe cache/flash/rewipe Cache I was still stuck in entering recovery.
After that tried reboot/wipe cache/ flash Danny201281's suggested openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7 and erased cache / reboot...
WORKED!!!!! Many thanks to both guys!
Seems related to ROM/Firmware/Radio/TWRP version combination but it worked fine before.
Danny201281: Is there a particular reason you pointed towards openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7 ? Most stable version for HTC One?
Again, great help! Thank you both. :good:

It's not the first time I've come across this problem here on the forums, and in every case that is the version that always works. Unfortunately it doesn't necessarily mean an end to your problem you may find that is the only recovery that will successfully load.
You can try some different recoveries and see what happens but when all else fails use TWRP 2.6.3.3.
