Hello guys

First of im sorry if this isnt the right place to post it,but im desperate!

My problem is,i cant use my m8 anymore.

Ive flashed GPE rom and didnt like it,so i wanted the stock rom. I tried to get in the recovery mode by twp and with the power button+volume down,but everytime i tried it just started with the GPE rom. Now i dont know what i did,but i cant start the phone. It gets stuck where the GPE show the green/red/yellow dots dancing around.

I cant use it and doesnt go in to recovery mode.. Please help

Did you make a backup? I think recovery is vol up + down and power. Should boot you in TWRP.

sennalonso1981 · Sep 2, 2014

No,i didnt back up anything. ive tried volume up+down,just got stuck a the dots again..

Ouch....not much can really be done...ALWAYS ALWAYS make a backup before doing any modding or flashing. I'm no expert but I don't really have fix beyond backup. May want to try XDA as well. They usually make a way out of no way. Saved me many of times.

try power + volume up press until phone shuts down properly or press it for 60 seconds , to shut the phone down , then power + volume down this should at least get you into boot loader , then from there factory reset it

Firstly I'd say that it's extremely difficult to brick your phone these days (still possible but extremely difficult) so don't panic.

I only have experience of flashing Sense ROM's but don't really know about the issues of going from Sense to GPE to Sense but I'd imagine the problems would be with the firmware or kernel.

Head over to the XDA forums and have a search there for a similar thread as I'd imagine that you're not the first person to be in this situation and if you can't find anything then create a new thread.

I'll do some research and see what I can find.

I don't mean to sound too much like an arse, especially in your hour of need but people really should do some research before they start messing with their phones.

Try this to go back to Sense.

The problem is that the partitions are different sizes between the GPE and the Sense ROM's. You will probably be best off starting a thread over at the XDA forums.
