You probably need to find an RUU for that specific model.

If you already have a custom recovery downloaded to your pc and used it to wipe recovery, and have found a custom rom specifically for your model, then I may be able to help you.

Do you have a custom recovery and a custom rom ready?

I know. You made it clear the first time that you erased it.

That was not my question.

Let me ask this way -

What did you you use to erase your recovery?

i use 1 of the settings in recovery to format ,i did this a couple of days ago ,im not 100% sure which one ,i thought i had to do this to install a custom rom ,school boy error

OK, then where did you get the recovery that allowed you to do that?

You had to have added that recovery, it's not stock, it didn't come with the phone.

i used hasoon2000'shtc one 2014 (m8)all in one toolkit

Great. Made by this idiot, who's in denial about his expulsion from XDA.

Which you probably got from here -

http://hasoon2000.info/?device=One 2014 (M8)

Which you probably thought would work with your dual sim model because it says M8.

Next time, promise yourself that you won't use a toolkit without asking about your situation and what you want to do first.

Fortunately, I may have found a way out for you.

Hopefully that has all of the pieces you need.

Good luck!

The firmware.zip has to be in the same folder as fastboot, and you need to have your command window open to the same folder.

In the command window say -

dir

To see a file listing - both files have to be there to work.

scott3595 · Mar 1, 2015

found out after putting dir in, it was because i named the files .zipand my pc add .zip too, any ive got os back on now

big thx for ur help ,i still want to put a custom rom on,can u tell me how to do this plz

I can't but I can point you to the right place.

Llabtwofer is a good site but I don't know why they give the downloads without instructions for their setup.

I think that your best bet is to ask others over there how they did it.

Btw - if that's a zip installer that you just put on your SD card and it automatically fastboot installs, you want to remove it after the update.

Big shout out to @MichalG for the tip.
