Root Trying to Root, Cant Recovery boot to Custom TWRP

[Ben798790]

Hi,

I have an Unlocked HTC One M8S, unbranded from Carphone Warehouse in UK.

Details below:

(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.0.U20410.1@50311
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 1.03.401.11
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) serialno: ##############
(bootloader) imei: ##############
(bootloader) imei2: Not Support
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m8ql_ul
(bootloader) platform: hTCBmsm8939
(bootloader) modelid: 0PKV10000
(bootloader) cidnum: HTC__001
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 0mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: e2458936
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
(bootloader) mfg-name: 0001

I have used fastboot method to install the following recovery images:

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img
recovery_1.54.401.10.img
recovery_1.54.401.5.img
recovery_2.22.401.4.img
recovery_2.22.401.5.img
recovery_3.28.401.6.img
recovery_3.28.401.7.img
recovery_3.28.401.9.img
recovery_4.16.401.10.img
twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img

None of these will reboot into Recovery from the bootloader HBOOT and then selecting RECOVERY from the boot loader menu. Some of them get a blank screen as if hung, some hang at the White HTC logo screen....

What image custom TWRP image should I use so I can boot this phone into recovery and then install the SuperSU application. Please help I have tried everything I can think of now...

TIA

Ben

This one -

worked like a charm first time. Thank you so much for your help.

You bet!

Yeah, the M8 and M8S are two completely different devices. The M8S is somewhere between an M8 and an M9. The M8S uses a 64-bit kernel so the M8 recovery definitely wouldn't work. I had to build a brand new one using flags from the M8 and M9 trees and build a custom kernel from the HTC Dev source to remove the system write-protect restriction and add in full MTP compatibility and additional file system support.

Not that anyone cares . . .

Wait... what?

Are you maintaining an official build and I missed it?

Not an official build, no.

But I did build the one that's posted in that thread you linked . Since I don't have the device, I wouldn't agree to maintain it, but I provided my device files in the thread there so someone else could (though I don't believe anyone has done so).

OK, that's why I trusted it - and why it just worked.
