If your on a computer just download a diffrent rom to your computer and transfer it to your sdcard, install the rom and see if that works

while you are in CwM recovery go into "mounts and storage" and then at the bottom you will see a "mount USB storage" press that while your phone is pugged into your PC.

No problem but you need to flash a different rom for now. The reason you are getting that error when you flash is because it isn't writing the boot image correctly. Try flashing Royal Glacier and report your problem in the correct thread. Thanks

I would reflash the recovery, put the recovery file in the tools section of your androidSDk. Rename it to just recovery and boot into fastboot. Once you have done that. Run the script
Fastboot flash recovery c:\AndroidSDK\tools\recovery.img
or whatever the route to that folder is on your computer and try it again.
You do know how to use adb correct?

[Q] Please help with bricked phone

I've spent quite a while tonight FINALLY getting this MyTouch 4g (Glacier) to root and now I'm stuck in a bind.
Everything seemed to be going well and I got the Cyanogenmod 7 flashed onto the phone via Clockwork ROM Manager. Then the first time I rebooted it got to the Android logo with the spinning arrow and went into a constant loop. After about 20 minutes of this I pulled the battery and tried to restore the phone via the recovery image I created with clockwork. Here is the current status of the phone:
1. CAN get into HBOOT and HBOOT USB (but I dont think ADB can see it, or at least I haven't been able to get it to)
2. CANNOT get into recovery, phone just reboots itself to the red exclamation
3. PD15IMG.zip tries to restore the phone but fails.
What can I do to get the phone back into some sort of usable condition. I dont care where, I can start over as long as I have something to work with.

It failed to unzip the update. Try redownloading the pd15img. This time verify the MD5SUM and try it again.

ALrighty.....this is my st00pid face. I guess in my lack of sleep last night I forgot to check the MD5SUM.
That worked....now let's see if I can break it again!!

Cool Glad it worked for you.

New question, essentially the same topic:
This whole thing started because I tried to flash CyanogenMod 7 onto the phone and it messed up. The phone reboots into Cyanogen and the little android on the skateboard with the arrow just goes into a repeating cycle. It will come on for 10ish seconds at a time and then just cycle back and do the same thing. I've let it go for >20 minutes and nothing changes.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this ROM working? It took me so long to get it rooted with S-off that I'll be darned if I'm stopping now!
Thanks in advance!

Verify the MD5SUM of the ROM as well. You may of gotten a bad download.
What i personally do when i download and install a new OS is
Download OS to computer
push the OS to the SD card
verify the MD5SUM
reboot into recovery
nandroid backup
factory reset
flash new OS
flash g/apps (if needed)
reboot system
to check the MD5SUM while it's on the SDcard just use the line command from either the terminal emulator or CMD prompt.
Code:
# md5sum /mnt/sdcard/<file_name>.extension

You can also check the md5 sum when its on the SDcard using the free mand5 app from the market.

Thanks to everyone for helping out, I finally got it working last night when I had time to sit back down with it.
I was trying to use the ROM Manager version of the Cyanogen instructions and it ended up that that was the problem. I switched over to the recovery version based on your suggestions and it worked great.
Thanks again!

General feeling around here is that the only thing ROM Manager is good for is flashing ClockworkMod recovery. There are folks who won't even do that with it.

ROM manager ruined my recovery I had to completely re push recovery thru adb

[ROM STOCK] REVIVE YOUR DROID PRO! [Dec-08-14]

Hi guys! Maybe the tittle is getting you confused, but it's so, now you're gonna unbrick and revive your Droid pro and also install de last update ( 4.7.3.XT610.Verizon.en.US) for your phone. "IT MEANS IT'S ONLY FOR VERIZON MODEL". Just follow the next instructions and you'll get it .
I know like me, many of you have gotten a brick in your phone or have your phone bricked for the time being. The first step that we'll do is unbricking the phone.
First:
Mod Edit link removed
Second:
Extract both archives, install one of the two installers of RSD, once RSD is installed, search for the DROIDPRO_2.26.20.sbf file that extracted.
Third:
Let's get your droid pro into bootloader mode,for this keep volume up and volume down keys + power button at the same time for 5 seconds, if do it right you'll get onto a screen like this,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, connect your phone by usb cable to you computer, (Remember to have installed drivers in your pc) RSD show that your droid is online, click on the search button and select DROIDPRO_2.26.20.sbf file, once this is done click on start button and RSD will begin to flash the phone, wait for the process , when it finishes, your phone will reboot and alive again!
For update your for to the last version just go> Settings>About phone>check update after first update and reboot, phone will show a pop up message with a new update, download and install all necessary times.
Hope I could have helped you :fingers-crossed:

Very useful post, since noone before mentioned the bootloader mode, only fastboot that didn't work in my case. I need to try this when I get my phone back from a magician who is trying to fix it....
Regarding the post itself, you should clearly declare that the SBF is from American (VERIZON) model, since it will brick European ones even more than they already are

A question regarding the SBF file that you have provided..
Is it SBF of Stock GB 2.3.4..???
Imagine that I have rooted my phone but now I want to remove Root from my phone permanently, so in that case can I follow these steps to get the pure Stock ROM..???
I am totally new to Motorola and coming from hTC, so that's why asking so many questions..

I bricked my phone, flashed the SBF using RSD Lite but still getting bootloop, Droid logo in red color coming again and again..
Please help..
EDIT: I got it working now, after flashing the SBF, I went into recovery (R+M then Volume up and down keys) and performed "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition", and now it is working..
Thank You..

Every time you flash the firmware over a custom rom, you must do a factory reset from recovery.

[GUIDE] How to root m8_dugl (M8 Dual SIM)

Hi
As I struggled a bit, here's how to root the HTC One M8 Dual SIM.
Disclaimer
As always, if you **** your phone up, it's not my fault. Don't blame me. Further, I will not answer any questions about this. Please help yourself.
Please use the "Thanks" ( :good: ) button if you just want to say "Thank you" or "Great" or "I wanna marry you".
Prerequisites
HTC One M8 Dual SIM (m8_dugl)
A complete backup of your phone! (e.g. with titanium backup)
fastboot installed
USB Cable
Some time (do not hurry!)
htc DEV UNLOCK (http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions)
Warning
Make sure you have a "m8_dugl" device:
Reboot your device to the bootloader (POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then POWER+VOLUME_DOWN). If it reads there something different than "m8_dugl", then this guide is not for you!
Steps
Download the custom recovery "TWRP" from here: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M8)/ALL/Recovery (See hint below)
Download "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" to you phone's internal SD
--> Until now no harm has been done to you device but DEV UNLOCK. So this would also be a good time to do a BACKUP! #JustSaying
Open a command prompt and navigate to your fastboot executable.
Put your phone into fastboot mode: POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then press POWER+VOLUME_DOWN. You see some options soon. Use the volume buttons to navigate, the power button to perform the selected action. Select FASTBOOT and press the POWER button.
Connect you phone to the PC
Type "./fastboot boot path/to/where/you/saved/TWRP_Recovery_x.x.x.x_M8_CPTB.img"
If boot does not work, you can flash the recovery to your phone. But remember: When you do a stock update, you must revert back to a stock recovery!
Do flash the custom recovert, type "./fastboot flash recovery path/to/where/you/saved/TWRP_Recovery_x.x.x.x_M8_CPTB.img"
Touch "Install"
Select the "UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip" file
Swipe to start
Touch Reboot System.
You're phone should be rooted.
** Hint **
If the newest TWRP does not work, try a different one.
If none of them work, try the official one: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/225
If the official TWRP does not work for you, you can try the following one, but it's rather old: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...al-sim-european-version-t2816991/post54258731

Hi
As I struggled a bit, here's how to root the HTC One M8 Dual SIM.
Disclaimer
As always, if you **** your phone up, it's not my fault. Don't blame me. Further, I will not answer any questions about this. Please help yourself.
Prerequisites
HTC One M8 Dual SIM (m8_dugl)
fastboot installed
USB Cable
Some time (do not hurry!)
htc DEV UNLOCK (http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions)
Note: Reboot your device to the bootloader (POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then POWER+VOLUME_DOWN). If it reads there something different than "m8_dugl", then this guide is not for you!
Steps
Download the custom recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...al-sim-european-version-t2816991/post54258731 (It must be made for the m8_dugl, the 'normal' m8 recoveries from TWRP/CWM do not work (yet)!)
Download "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Copy "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" to you phone's internal SD
Open a command prompt and navigate to your fastboot executable.
Put your phone into fastboot mode: POWER+VOLUME_UP until the screen blacks out, then POWER+VOLUME_DOWN. Now you see some options. Use the volume buttons to navigate, the power button to perform the selected action. (Just select FASTBOOT and press the POWER button.)
Connect you phone to the PC
Type "./fastboot boot path/to/where/you/saved/m8-dual-twrp.img"
--> Until now no harm has been done to you device but DEV UNLOCK. So this would also be a good time to do a BACKUP! #JustSaying
Touch "Install"
Select the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip" file
Swipe to start
Touch Reboot System.
You should be rooted.
I did not test that yet, but this method should not prevent you from receiving OTAs. But I won't vouch for that.
Cheers,
Chris

Thank you Chris,
step by step guides are always helpful, as the answer a lot of questions about the whole procedure. So I´m at least rooted now. Let´s see if OTA´s will work, but they can also be installed via adb. I prefer having a custom recovery for installs and making backups from data, so this solution is the one I need (and always used before btw).
Thank you !
Guido

thanks alot i hope xda opening section for us HTC-M8 Dual Sim Owners

Hi
I hope you will tell us if the OTA will work.
By the way, do you know of unlocking the bootloader with HTC Dev create any issue for the future OTA?

Stuck in a boot loop
Hi,
thanks for the guide and it worked perectly. No problems all day long after rooting the phone.
But since this morning I am stuck in a boot loop! Already tried factory reset, that works at first, after the phone is loading some updates, it is running into a boot loop
Is there anything I can do?

Edit: Updated SuperSu, Works again...

I read somewhere that our dual sim should get directly Android L and until then no update. Xposed module, sense 6 and Wanam Xsense are working good, of course u need to be rooted

FYI - You might want to update this guide to point to the official TWRP for M8 now that it supports Dual SIM.

OK, I will remove if you want me to, but most of the credit goes to you for unified TWRP, working MTP and UMS.

@donmarkoni: i posted this question in the stock recovery thread but got no reply...
i have downloaded the mega file 0P6BIMG_M8_DUGL_K44_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.12_R_Ra.... 2 times before and tried winzip, 7-zip and winrar but zip file is corrupt. is this a new file? i cant see an md5 or sha. size of my download from windows properties is 1,506,353,851 bytes.
have you checked the file?
the '2014-07-26--03-35-20 KOT49H release-keys.zip' is a clean TWRP backup?
i have made my own backup by temp installing TWRP 2.8 so can also confirm that works (thanks again Captain_Throwback)
any sign of an original RUU yet?

That's why I usually don't install the recovery but only boot it. We'll see in Spring 2015 if it works, it seems that we won't get an update any sooner.
PS: Can some moderator remove the 5 Minutes Wait restriction from my account? I'm not exactly new to XDA, am I?

0P6BIMG_M8_DUGL_K44_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.12.....signed.zip is a encrypted signed zip, as the file name suggests. It does work, as you can see here. All other files are good too. That's all I can say about it, as I don't have that phone, I was just helping.

Maybe earlier with 4.4.4 as LLabTooFer4 posted on twitter :
LlabTooFeR ‏@LlabTooFeR 30. Sep.
M8 Dual SIM users don't be disappointed not getting 4.4.3, you will get 4.4.4 before the end of October

[ROM][7.1.1]Android Ice Cold Project 12.1
Hey Guys, I have got a big problem here. I had installed the latest release dated 28th Jan (link given by one of the developers). I had upgraded my TWRP to 3.0.2-0 then i installed the rom zip and the gapps zip. At first time it booted up normally without any bugs and all. However after next boot onwards i started getting many background app crashes so i decided to revert back to the TWRP backup which i had made on newly upgraded TWRP just before installing this rom. I had taken backup and then wiped everything to install.
After i restored with no errors i am stuck in boot loop. I mobile restarts and then holds on the boot animation and the vibrates and restarts again. This happens endlessly. I tried to re-wipe everything and restore but it didn't help. I tried to wipe everything and reinstall this rom again but now mobile turns up upto aicp boot animation and the screen turns off and only blue led indication comes on.
I have tried almost everything in laslt 24 hours but no way did anything. Am still stuck at endless bootloop.
This is all that i tried.
1. I tried to flash ROM S288 using QFIL : bootloop
2. I tried to flash ROM S285 using QFIL: bootloop
3. I tried to change partition from ext4 to fat and then back to ext4 for system and data and then restore twrp backup : Bootloop
4. I tried to change partition from ext4 to fat and then back to ext4 for system and data and then install aicp installable zip with gapps :stuck after boot animation with screen off and blue led on.
5. I erased all the partitions and formated all internal partitions as signle ext4 file system (29GB size) and then download stock rom with stock recovery using QFIL. : Bootloop.
There is only way i can stop bootloop and that is i force it to boot in recovery mode (stock/twrp). In either of the recovery mode it boots up and works normally. But irreespective of any rom i try to install it always ends up in bootloop. There is something that it is looking for just after boot animation which it is not able to find after boot animation and hence it boots again. I am not sure what it is looking for so i tried to erase every partition and restore that by downloading stock rom using qfil both lolipop and marshmallow version but still no use.
Please guys tell me what can be done now. its been over 24 hrs am struggling and i guess i already did everything i knew. Now i need your help.

Hey guys a new query here. Your expert opinion is required.
Check this attached screenshot.
I have range of both the networks. IMEI is also my original IMEI. But baseband is unknown. I remember baseband had some value. Why is it unknown now. Any idea?
Is there anything abnormal to worry or shall I ignore it?

Can anyone get me downloaded this p1c72 Vibe UI rom file from chinese website https://pan.baidu.com/s/1qXyzyX2. Please if anyone can please reply.

Translate this Russian language and look for vibe ui. What you are looking for is there.

Hey Guys
Today i have intentionally hard bricked my own Lenovo Vibe P1 (P1a42) just to demonstrate you all how to recover the dead (hard bricked) qualcomm devices.
This process is more or less same for all the qualcomm devices. In some devices other steps may be needed where you will have to wipe entire ROM space and make a single partition of ExFAT format.
https://youtu.be/ZU1vu5diGsE
Well i have tried to make the video in such a way that i include more or less everything possible. Please bare with me.
