[FIX][GUIDE][INFO][01-JUN-2014]M7 "Active Cmdline Overflow" error and bootloop
This is a collaboration of @cschmitt and myself. Many thanks to @cschmitt for his hard work and help :good::good:
Symptoms
1) Bootloader shows "active cmdline overflow (xxxx bytes)"
2) Unable to enter recovery (neither custom nor stock)
3) (possibly) everything you try reboots to bootloader
Cause
Basically it's because of a corrupt mmcblk0p19 [misc] partition, the [misc] partition includes the bootloader command block (BCB); @schmitt can elaborate on that more than I.
The most often times we've seen this, is when flashing HTC Droid DNA (device=dlx) ROM or kernel (kernel is included in the ROM) on a HTC One M7. The DLX kernel is in mmcblk0p19, and during installation this part of the installer script - run_program("/sbin/dd", "if=/tmp/boot.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19") - will overwrite and therefore corrupt your [misc] partition.
Problems (and why even an RUU won't restore your phone)
Some partitions, in particular mmcblk0p19 [misc] and mmcblk0p6 [mfg], are not contained in any RUU, as they are specific to each individual phone.
So what does a normal [misc] partition look like:
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
the ones that vary from device to device are the ones in bold green at offsets 0x304 and 0x31C, and what impact or influence they have I don't know.
OK, now get to the point, how do we fix this
Well you need adb commands, root and busybox... which are only available in a custom recovery or a rooted ROM (with USB debugging enabled)
and @cschmitt has modified TWRP to disregard the BCB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52262603&postcount=13

The attached mmcblk0p19 should work for any m7_u or m7_ul device.
Unzip and install mmcblk0p19.generic.bin per the instructions in step 4 of OP:
Code:
adb push mmcblk0p19.generic.bin /tmp/
adb shell dd if=/tmp/mmcblk0p19.generic.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19

As this is a "Work In Progress", you may have your doubts, and I cannot blame you in the slightest, for being VERY careful!!
So the main question is: has this ever been accomplished successfully?
The answer is yes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52345379&postcount=48 (or sort of because he used a rooted ROM instead of recovery, you'll need to read the entire thread mentioned)... the thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732757 , and though we haven't heard back from the OP, at least @donkeykong1 got it fixed!!
update, May 25, 2014: confirmed to have worked for 4 users
update, June 1, 2014: generic misc partition, confirmed working for S-On and S-Off users

Some Background
It appears the 'active cmdline overflow' issue began with hboot 1.56. The error means that the command line passed from hboot to start the kernel (or recovery kernel) has exceeded the limit of the kernel command (1024 bytes.) Apparently, previous hboots ignored this error, but 1.56 halts the boot.
The kernel command line is constructed from (1) the command line contained within the kernel itself, (2) any arguments passed in to the kernel (i.e. with fastboot -c blah,blash boot boot.img), (3) the hboot itself, and (4) the bootloader command block (BCB) located in the misc partition (mmclbk0p19 on m7u, m7ul.)
A typical kernel command is around 700 to 800 bytes. You can check the kernel command by pulling the last_kmsg from the device
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/last_kmsg
and searching for 'Kernel command line'. It will look something like this:
Code:
Kernel command line: poweron_status=1 reset_status=0 board_m7_ul.disable_uart3=0 diag.enabled=0 board_m7_ul.debug_uart=0 userdata_sel=0 androidboot.emmc=true androidboot.pagesize=2048 skuid=0 ddt=20 ats=0 dap=6 androidboot.lb=0 uif=?000 td.sf=0 td.td=0 td.ofs=328 td.prd=1 td.dly=0 td.tmo=300 hlog.ofs=628 un.ofs=696 imc_online_log=0 androidboot.efuse_info=4FSL androidboot.baseband=4T.24.3218.09 androidboot.cid=11111111 androidboot.devicerev=3 androidboot.batt_poweron=good_battery androidboot.carrier=ALL androidboot.mid=PN0712000 androidboot.keycaps=qwerty androidboot.dq=PASS androidboot.mode=recovery androidboot.serialno=HT34KWxxxxxx androidboot.bootloader=1.54.0000 lscd=0x1 wificd=0x1 androidboot.nledhw=0 androidboot.ddrmid=(0x6) acpu.footprint=FFFFFFFF abnrst=0 zygote_oneshot=on kmemleak=off rpm_debug.enable=0 console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31
The BCB is 1088 bytes located at offset 0x800 in the misc partition (32 byte command, 32 byte status, 1024 byte recovery command.) Usually it zeroed out or contains a short command like 'recovery --wipe_data', but if it becomes corrupted (sometimes by flashing a rom for a different device which writes a kernel to p19) then this 'junk' data may be interpreted as kernel commands by the hboot and cause the command line to overflow, halting the boot.
Modified 'nobcb' TWRP Recovery
The modified TWRP recovery used in this solution is fairly simple. It has a modified get_args() method in recovery.cpp that skips reading the recovery command line arguments from the BCB, so that any junk data contained there is ignored and the recovery will boot successfully.
Additional Notes
I believe this solution requires S-OFF, as I don't think we can write to p19 with S-ON. We'll need to verify that, probably when someone with an S-ON device encounters 'active cmdline overflow'.
If that turns out to be the case I should be able to build a version of CM11 with a kernel that will ignore the BCB (similar to the no-bcb TWRP build) so that the device can boot an OS, use firewater to S-OFF, and then repair/restore p19.

you have just corrupted your misc partition, and are probably getting "active cmdline overflow" in the bootloader screen, and even an ruu won't fix that.

1- is your bootloader unlocked
2- did you check MD5 on the download to make sure it's not corrupt
3- can you copy/paste the output of your command prompt when you're flashing the noBCB recovery

3 questions, half an answer
after checking MD5, and flashing are you erasing cache.
If you can't get to recovery, there's nothing I can do.

without a working recovery, there's not much that can be done.
can you extract the updater-script from the ROM you tried to flash, compress, and upload it. it's the following file inside the ROM.ZIP:

@cschmitt, any idea why twrp_noBCB doesn't boot for this guy? do you have any time to build a CWM_noBCB, since sometimes (on regular recoveries, twrp bootloops, but cwm doesn't)... what do you think.

yes, that's similar to the case that was fixed, we used hboot 1.44 + the noBCB recovery to get the misc partition, he sent it to us, we fixed it, and he flashed it back, and then was able to upgrade both hboot and use a normal recovery again without problems.

EDIT: are you using custom recovery, or rooted rom to "dd" the partition?

At the time I I made blk019 backup I didn't have root I believe just twrp no bcb recovery.

Attached is the fixed partition, extract it and put it in your adb/fastboot folder. then just boot back into the noBCB recovery and follow step 4.
and please be careful with the dd command, be sure to type it correctly (or copy/paste), you don't want to overwrite the wrong partition!!!
Let me know how it goes.

dunno if i m reading that paths wrong but it looks you did something wrong related to the filepaths of the firmware and adb itself. - go into your folder were adb is located. might be inside your One-M8-All-In-One_Kit folder ....then paste the firmware zip in just the same folder. ( location of adb ) ....after that, navigate to that adb location/folder, (you should actually be there because you have just copied the firmware zip into that folder ..so skip that .... press shift + right mousebutton on empty space inside of the folder ( so dont start any program or click on a file, just hold shift and press the right mousekey to open die normal windows dialog window where you can change the view of the folder or add new files etc. )
by using the shift+right mouse key combi, u will see another option inside of that dialog apart from the common stuff you normally have listed. -> "open command prompt right here" ( or something similar, dunno the exact wording in english )
so click that order, it will open up the windows console (cmd) -> make your phone reboot to the bootloader by writing "adb reboot-bootloader" ( i guess it should be obvious that your phone needs to be connected via usb allready )
- ( you can also just hold the power button on your phone and pick bootloader at the boot-menu, just as you like.
- arrived at bootloader, make sure you phone shows "fastboot-usb"
- write "fastboot oem rebootRUU" inside the cmd window -> phone should boot into the RUU modus.
- write "fastboot flash zip firmware-6.12.1540.4.zip" (not fastboot".exe" - just fastboot ... ) -> make sure you use the correct name of the zip. - you need use the filename of the firmware that you ve copied into the adb folder at the beginning. - to prevent issues, you should rename the firmware zip to something simple. - like just firmware.zip or firm.zip, without that versionsnumber. - its just easier for you to write that into the cmd window and you will be sure that issues might be not related to some wrong written filename.
done.
edit: @sceryavuz is htc_fastboot anything special or just the normal adb? if it is different, may you explain to me what it is?

What is the advantage of the Developer edition?

Can I do this with a vzw m8? I want to see if this helps me run GPE and AOSP roms without the cellular issues I've been having. Also, can I change back as well?

htc_fastboot you need this for flashing firmware. Security reasons. You can't flash recovery, for example with this.
fastboot it's for everithing else, other than firmware.
For me it was like that, at least..

It is the full unlocked rom, you can do anything with Developer Edition without any errors. This is the most stable version.

I don't know if it is work or not? I have AT&T device and it works. Sprint and verizon device may have specific modem.

htc_fastboot is stock fastboot that released by htc. You can use your fastboot already have. htc_fastboot check all zip or img file for compatibility.

Yes, mostly agreed (security and compatibility reasons). You can flash TWRP with htc_fastboot

hey guys just to make it sense
you can't convert CDMA ( device) firmware to GSM firmware
sprint and Verizon can't be converted to any other GSM firmware
HTC_fastboot used to flash big .zip as you can flash any thing by regular fastboot but RUU.zip needs to be flashed by HTC_fastboot

Did anyone with Verizon M8 manage to install it?
I managed to change CID, MID and install firmware without any errors, but when I try to flash rom.zip it says file is too large. Also the device doesn't recognize SIM card when on Developer Edition firmware. I guess this is because of the hardware difference, we won't be able to get this ROM working.

you are lucky if your device still working
read the post above yours
you can't flash GSM firmware on CDMA device because the hardware is different

i have a verizon htc one M8, unlocked, S-OFF, SuperCID, rooted, boot loader unlocked working with GSM carrier in India, I unlocked couple more LTE bands etc. Can I flash this as I don't have the CDMA only device?

Your device is m8_whl and this RUU is meant for m8_ul or m8_ul_ca only.
Return to stock .. if you're lucky you still can use your device but lose the ability to connect to 3G/4G/LTE.
(because you most probably already bricked the radio after your flash the firmware which is not meant for your device variant)

RUU Not Working?
Hi,
I followed your instructions and the Developer Edition rom flashed and appears to be working fine, thanks very much.
After setting the phone up I wanted to try and test flashing again with RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_6.12.1540.4.exe . The process fails after "Verifying information on your Android phone. Please wait..." with ERROR 170 USB CONNECTION ERROR. I've checked and the USB connection seems to be fine. Is this to be expected?
Thanks again.

I was unable to flash the rom.zip with google's fastboot.exe (recogniced wrong size, header error, etc.....)!
Use htc_fastboot.exe found in the same temporary folder as rom.zip!

Worked for me. Why flash firmware first??
OP instructions worked for me . Was coming from US AT&T / Cingular (Cricket?)
Why did we flash firmware zip firmware and THEN flash the RUU pulled from the temp folder?

Yup, it is but I'm not 100% sure.. Your version is from Hong Kong and it is "Supreme camera".... Correct ?
Alright, let's start...
First you need to change your CID...
---Before start flashing you need to download my ABD files... Check attached files down below
---Create some backup of your system before doing this !
Down this:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120699799
1. Go into Download mode and type command:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__621
2. Then command: fastboot reboot ... After that for and check if you CID has changed.. After go again to Download mode.
3. Rename zip file to 0PK7IMG.zip --must be putted in the same folder with fastboot ADB !!!!
4. fastboot oem rebootRUU
5. fastboot flash zip 0PK7IMG.zip
6. fastboot reboot
If you got some error message just let me know...
Cheers!

Hi again,
Did you try to change your CID ? Install TWRP and then flash the file that I give you and let me know... Do you know how to change your CID and install TWRP ?

You can change your CID If you find Asia RUUs with 6.0 version... Other way is to flash "CleanSlate 2.0 rom" via TWRP,,, and see if that would helps..
Here you can download CleanSlate 2.0 rom :

1. Make sure the download file is not corrupt.
check sum the md5 values first.
2. It is recommend to adopt the latest version for hTC adb/fastboot.
If you install hTC sync manager driver on your PC, you can find it on
X:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Sync Manager\HTC Sync

Unable to flash RUU - no OS

fixed - see at the end
So like an idiot I managed to wipe everything from the phone, now it just freezes during boot screen. I've successfully rooted it (Installed TWRP and SuperSU) but decided I want to go back to be able to OTA update. I don't know what I was thinking but I wiped everything from the phone without backing it up Now I'm stuck with no OS and unable to flash anything on it.
Code:

I've tried to flash RUU 1.90.401.3 from fastboot but I get

Then I tried some other RUU's (1.32.401.8 and 2.30.401.1) to no avail. I get the same error. I've read all the threads that I could find here about people who can't flash their RUU, I've searched the interwebs for fixes to "Invalid sparse file format" error and could find anything to make it work. I ended up relocking bootloader and now I can't even enter recovery mode.
I don't know what to do anymore so, I'm asking here maybe someone else knows what I should do and guides me. After two days I don't care about the root or the twrp, I just hope I didn't bricked it for good :crying:, just want to go back to factory settings and make it work.
Thanks.
[edit]
I've unlocked the bootloader again and tried installing the same RUU's from sd with twrp but as soon as I swipe right it restarts twrp and nothing happens.
[edit2]
I've found a fastboot.exe which works with big size zip-files in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73241261&postcount=1367 (thanks ziand_)

I'm guessing that I'm using the wrong RUU for my phone
I'll canvas the[RUU]M9+ RUU file by xiaolongzi maybe I'll find the answer there
if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong it would be really neat.
[edit3]
***FIXED***
*probably
I flashed one of these stock firmware recoveries
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...al/firmware-stock-recoveries-regions-t3120826
and after that
htc_fastboot_3.0.9.2 oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot_3.0.9.2 flash zip HTC_Europe_1.90.401.3.zip
after that it rebooted just fine, I even managed to make the official update to marshmallow
so, yeah, good job me :good:
