Hi,
I bought my Desire off eBay India but its a SIM unlocked T-mobile UK piece (it shows the pink t-mobile logo flash screen, has Top Apps installed and had t-mobile UK websites as bookmarks in the browser when I got it). It already had froyo when I got it.
I want to root my desire and was going through the "Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide" in which the first step mentions downloading the provider's ROM.
My HBOOT shows the following:
bravo pvt4 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001
microp-31d
touch panel-SYNW0101
radio-5.11.05.27
Aug 10 2010,17:52:18
And the firmware details are:
android 2.2
baseband 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27
kernel 2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0 htc-kernel"at"and18-2 # 1
build 2.12.110.4 CL274424 release keys
software 2.12.110.4
browser webkit 3.1
which match the details I found of the web for other t-mobile UK desires.
Now, my question is, which RUU would I need to flash if I ever wanted to unroot or put the stock ROM back?
I searched the shipped ROMs page and all I could find was this OTA update -OTA_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_UK_2.12.110.2-1.21.110.4_release3uop1mw9unpc376h.
1) Am I missing something? Will I need a T-Mobile 2.1 ROM? Or should I create a Goldcard?
2) If I flash a T-Mobile ROM, will my phone become SIM Locked? (I know there is a SIM unlock utility available here but just for info).
Please help.
The phone belonged to a HTC programmer, and he's given it to me to look at, (i do phone repairs). I do own an XTC clip if that helps at all.

I am truly stumped as to where to go from here, i was going to attempt to take the phone back to stock software to see if that rectified the issue, but my attempts seem to be in vain. any and all help would be most appreciated.
Create a GoldCard, then you can flash the WWE RUU (since it is a branded device).
The Second RUU is too old, no wonder it won't flash.

Radio is too old, try to update it to newer one (requires S-OFF).
As far as I can tell, I successfully downgraded and successfully rooted and achieved S-Off. Now, however, when I was going through the initial setup of my phone, there was no signal, just empty bars with an x over them. The phone has no idea who my carrier is, what my phone number is, or anything. When I used Revolutionary it asked if I wanted to let it install Cyanogen recovery and I said yes, then after that is when the problems came. I can get to the boot menu, but the only two choices I have are "Would you like to run the update, yes or no"? If I choose yes, it runs an upgrade and boots up. If I choose no, it only allows me to boot up. I can do nothing else. Here's the info on my phone:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1

PRI Version: 1.94_002
PRL Version: 58008

Please help me! I am totally regretting ever trying to root my phone

I really feel like I just have the wrong radio installed, but I have no idea how to fix it. Also, I could be completely wrong about that anyway.
Well are you currently on VZW? If so, try flashing this updated radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134451
flash the one related to 6.01 firmware.
this may sound silly, but i'm being completely serious. you did remember to put the back case on all the way right?
Hey guys,
Recently I got "new" phone from my brother, HTC One M8 ofc. But I've got one issue, I can't update phone? Under settings, About Phone there is no Software Update option, and under HTC Help, there is Support and Update, but when I click on it, it does nothing. He is repeating that "Checking..." to infinity.
I did wipe cashe partition, after that didn't work, and I did full wipe/factory reset. Still not working..
Any idea what's wrong?
Rom should be original. Phone it's not rooted or something like that..
Thanks in advance,
Pavle

What's the current software version in settings > about? Is it the same as in bootloader under "OS"? (to get to bootloader, power off your phone, then boot it by holding power + vol down)

I tried stock ROMs from HTC, none of them is passing, always getting error. Only thing i get on my mind is something about region restriction?

"Variant system" (and resulting update failure) usually means you have some degree of the following modifications on the phone: unlocked (relocked) bootloader, root, custom ROM or wrong stock ROM, s-off, modified CID/MID, wrong stock recovery.
To determine what was done to the phone (and how to proceed in fixing it), we would need the info requested in the previous response. Plus you should do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Nothing by HTC is USA made, there are made in Taiwan. You mean its a US carrier branded version, but that isn't enough info to help. We'll still need your CID and MID as it shows up in fastboot getvar data.

Do you have fastboot access? Try another USB post, another cable. And for fastboot, you need to be in bootloader-fastboot mode (fastboot doesn't work in OS, recovery or "regular" bootloader mode).

some sellers sell refurbished devices(sinners). I think your device is such a device. what is the model printed on back side? I think mostly it may be OP6B100. really your device is a reassembled device. don't forget to check imei when you buy a phone from someone else than an authorized dealer. your device is made for USA(verizon one m8). however you can't go to lollipop as your software version isn't matching firmware.
you can flash a verizon stock rom. go to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473

There was a Lollipop update available for this device 4.21.512.4. Once he updates to that, its enough to install TWRP and some custom ROM based on Marshmallow. But since his device bootloader shows verizon variant OS no, little bit confused with that. Any senior member should get into this.

your device is M8_WLV (verizon)

verizon maybe a rural network but their devices can be used globally. but we can't get optimal network performance. but it is not disturbing to use device normally.

As stock rom didn't flash, software number & os number don't match. that means 512 has installed by a twrp backup. but firmware is 605. reason for that is; if it installs 605, boot screen totally differs to verizon. also verizon apps will be installed. as it is a problem to sell, 512 has installed. do you have same device? has some carrier apps installed in your device?

You have same device as @Aravindhan Leo, it is a LRA. Flashing verizon firmware and RUU .. you won't get SIM connection due to carrier specific rcdata.
I'm away on holiday until 15/7, so won't be active on XDA but you can read this thread, there are discussion on how to install correct RUU for your device and how to update to the latest.

htc M8
Hi Arvind,
I bought my htc m8 from ebay india and it was in Android 4.4.4(kitkat) and changed it to lollipop (5.0.1) by reading one your threads in June'16 by your
steps that you have summarized as below:-
Steps :
1. Download the RUU. Change the file name to 0P6BIMG.zip.
2. Keep the RUU file in the root of External SD card. ( Dont keep it inside any folder )
3. Take a backup of all your personal data. The RUU will erase the whole Internal Memory and System Configuration.
4. Switch of Device. ( Press power and volume - button ) This will get you to Bootloader Screen.
5. The system automatically detects the file. If not Press Fastboot manually. Press Install. ( Volume + for Yes, Volume - for No )
6. Now the system starts Installing the RUU.
7. Hold on for sometime until the process ends and prompts you to press power button for Reboot. ( Dont press any buttons while the system installs the RUU )
8. Now the system takes 2-5 min to Reboot. It may take longer sometime.
9. Now you can end up seeing Lollipop 5.0.1 setup screen.
After that my system info was
android version=5.0.1
sense version=-6.0
software version=4.21.512.4
htc sdk api level 6.55
pri version-2.87_002
prl version-00000
kernal version 3.4.0-gda51a6a [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version-1.12.20.1211
build number-4.21.512.4 CL470008 release-keys
But after that I had an update, i tried downloading but it does not allow me to upgrade. Then i tried downloading a ADB bootloader file and from command promt tried changing my SUPERCID 11111111 to LRA__001. it changed but still I am not able to upgrade and it shows the same error Variant System Error. Kindly help me.

It would need to be a custom ROM which supports the Verizon M8, or you would need to flash a Verizon kernel after flashing the ROM.
Even then, since your firmware is outdated (pre-6.0) you will probably suffer major issues like no boot or extreme long boot time, and broken WiFi, audio issues, etc.
I would suggest update by RUU. But I'd hesitate to give any specific advice without more details about the phone (it could be catastrophic in your case). Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
