Root HELP! Accidentally Wiped Internal Storage and OS on HTC ONE M8

[Eric Chen]

Try starting in safe mode?

The random restarts don't happen when im in safe mode

Then that means that one of your apps is misbehaving and your hardware and operating system are OK.

EarlyMon relli appreciate it mate, i got it running by following the instructions from this thread, You are the STAR \m/. I ve done it downloading vemon ruu for m7 (http://venomroms.com/htc-one-m7/)... my phone is back on . how ever its still is "S-On" (not sure what does that mean in the boot loader) was wondering is that normal? as well as it says "tampered". very new to this rooting and custom RUU.

I am having difficulty changing themes from htc theme app, when ever i press download the message comes up (Your storage is not enough. Please delete some content to make some free space) where i have got 12 GB left

Another thing i cannot take screenshot or download any images from google. when ever i try to do it the message pops up (An Sd card is required tp download xxx.jpg), cannot copy image as well (SD card unavailable)

Screen shot message pop up (cant take screen shot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organisation). Is there any solutions to fix this problem. help me out if you can.

Thanks a lot mate relli appreciate it

I got called away, not ignoring you, will post back as soon as I can.

OK - s-on is perfectly OK, it means that the bootloader still has encrypted security signature (s) required (on) to change certain partitions like your radio firmware.

The other problem I didn't recognize on your M7 but it's the same thing that hits the M8 sometimes.

Get Terminal Emulator and say this -

su

(wait for the superuser to grant rights, proceed when the prompt changes to the # sign and then say)

restorecon -v -R /data/media

If that doesn't work, repeat but instead say -

restorecon -v -R /data/media/0

(that's a zero at the end)

If the problem is keeping you from installing Terminal Emulator, do it from your pc - open a command window to the sdk-tools folder and say -

adb shell

And then input the commands shown above.

Let me know if that sorts it.

The restarting problem still is happening even in safe mode

This came in while I was posting so I am just now seeing it.

So to get to recovery -

Hold volume down + power while powering on.

If it says FASTBOOT at the top, choose HBOOT from the menu - and from HBOOT, choose RECOVERY.

Some roms have the option to boot into recovery - from running phone, power menu, reboot - and you can choose to reboot to recovery (TWRP).

If your rom does not have this feature, you can add it, for example -

Check out "Power Menu"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vasily.powermenu

OR

Check out "Reboot Menu Widget *ROOT*"

Hi, I had to make more space on phone storage on HTC one m8 on my so I transferred my pictures and videos to my sd card. Now my pictures and videos aren't working. I have done this before and it worked. Does anyone know how to recover them? My backup was somehow turned off so I don't have them backed up either and it is hundreds of pictures of my new baby which I really want. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

[tawse69]

This is the error I am getting on my photos how do I fix this?

 

[Smitty28]

Great!

This is vital information, trust me.

I've done the same thing but I'm on the telus network will this work for me?

Wiped your phone?

The steps are the same for you but TWRP and Viper have been updated.

It appears that your firmware (radios, etc) is pretty old, maybe close to original and so probably not compatible with the later roms.

Your phone ought to use the .707 firmware according to this thread -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

And your phone is s-on (default).

Your best bet is to check there on updating your firmware.

All the best!

I was a little bored today, just browsing and reading some posts old and new and I came across this one. I started reading from page one and how you helped that person is phenominal. Its great to have a place like this to come, especially if you run into problems doing all the crazy stuff we can do to and with our phones because we have programmers and testers working non stop on all kinds of stuff. and people like you helping people out. awesome community here. love it

Thanks EarlyMon, I've tried for days to make my M8 work again... And only your guidance helped - clear, easy and precise.

Actually, not only helped, but steered me into installing a normal OS rather than random version that might have destroy my phone.

Would donate to you! Create a youtube channel!

Regards,

Laurynas

Power reset your phone with volume up +power until it resets.

As soon as the screen goes dark, hold volume down until the bootloader appears.

Navigate to recovery, it may be under hboot if it came up in FASTBOOT mode.

(I can never remember which screen, it's kinda automatic for me, sorry.)

Hi EarlyMon

FWIW @EarlyMon last signed in 26 weeks ago. And quite frankly I don't know anyone else who knows so much about this HTC.
