Root Bricked htc one e8.

[Franklh]

Hello all. I dont know if this is the proper area for this post, if not i apologize. I have rooted htc one e8 and i recently tried to flash a custom rom. I did a nandroid backup first but in process of wiping before the flash i inadvertently deleted the backup (dont ask me how i accomplished that), anyway now no matter what i do the phone just keeps going to the boot loader. I have twrp as a custom recovery which i am able to boot into. Ive tried flashing a couple different roms to no avail. Heres the info from the boot loader screen if it helps.

MEC_WHL PVT Ship S-ON
HBOOT 3.18.0.0000
Radio 1.08.20.0707_2
OpenDSP v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311
OS 1.12.651.1
eMMC-boot 2048MB

Any help that anyone can give is appreciated.
Thanks.

Moved this to the One E8 root forum, no problem.

Except with your phone - bummer.

So MEC_WHL - does that mean that you're on Sprint?

Which roms have you tried so far?

Hey there, thanks for the reply. I actuall got it back up. I had to relock and unroot but its back up. There really arent any roms for the e8 so i tried a couple for the m8.

S-off has nothing to do with it - roms have to match the target device.

Anyway, I was going to offer you ruu to get out of it and update your firmware while you were at it but it sounds like you got what you need.

Ok. Thank. Any advice on roms?

Not really, what little support there is seems targeted to the dual sim model.

The only M8 ROM it's *possible* might work is the latest version of digitalhigh's GPE port (6/15), found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61367129#post61367129

Note that you MUST use the "Stock" kernel option if you want it to have any chance of booting. I've been wondering if that ROM would work on the E8 for a while . . . is your firmware completely up to date (i.e. have you taken the Lollipop update)? If not, you'll need to do that first, otherwise it might not work either. However if/when you do update your firmware, the current version of TWRP may not boot for you either, in which case, you'll need this one to flash the ROM.
