[Q] htc one m8 does not recognize contacts name.

Hi
I need your help guys in two things
1) I bought htc one m8 from Saudi Arabia ( middle east ) I need the original RUU or firmware which works on this device.
2) after I installed a new firmware on my htc m8 ( I think it is European one ), my phone couldn't recognize my contacts name, when some of my contacts call, his name is not appearing, but the numer only, I have to modify the number by adding the area code, then it works, I can't edit all of my 1900 contacts, I think I had this problem because I am using improper firmware which changed the region of my network.
please help me to find this firmware & and to solve the contacts names issue.
thank you...

To find the corresponding firmware for you device we need a little bit more information.
Can you run the following command in bootloader an paste the results here:
fastboot getvar all
ATTENTION: delete your IMEI and serial number!

I dont think your problem is caused by the European firmware, I have the same issue in one of my HTC one m8 after updating it to 2.22.401.5, the same issue that you have occurs, but I have to REMOVE the area code for the phone to recognize numbers, plus it only happens to some of the contacts not all of them. whats even weirder is that my other phone (Same model, same carrier) does not have this problem!
I tried clearing People app data, didnt work.
I hope someone might have a solution.

Your device needs stock WWE ROM backup and firmware. Meaning x.xx.401.x. You can find those in @Mr Hofs thread: here
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

I will try deleting Google from the phone then re-sync it. I only cleared People data before.
all my contacts are stored in google and I did have some duplicates but that wasnt the issue, some numbers are not duplicated but still the issue occurs.
Maybe deleting Google account then re-syncing would do the trick, also this issue only happened once I updated to the latest firmware (via OTA) the phone is not rooted.
my other rooted m8 doesnt face the same issue after updating to the same firmware (also OTA, by first reflashing stock recovery, then updating then rooting it again).
will test it soon, thanks.

To flash a stock or custom recovery your bootloader needs to be unlocked. If you wish to flash a complete firmware.zip you need to be S-Off.

okay
seems i need to change both, S-ON and relock
so i have to S-off and unlock my device, which one has to be done first ??

I would pay 25$ and use SunShine, as it does both.

I saw your thread on the m7 Q&A, and yes (if this is the actual problem (i didnt read your thread completely)) it does apply to both m7, m8 and any other HTC Sense based phones (at least for me).
you need to edit /system/build.prop to include "ro.phone.min_match=7"

crap, sorry, can't help with that, the other guys are gonna have to help you out.
i just saw your callerID problem, and posted as quickly as i could, before you waste time flashing things not needed. (just for info, various m7 OTAs had the setting correct for GCC version "ro.phone.min_match.HTC__J15=7" and some didnt)
once you have your phone back up and running, irrelevant of what ROM you are using, if you need 7 digit callerID (like me), you'll end up having to modify build.prop
good luck, sorry about not "being on time"

i checked that post
i found these 3 recoveries:
STOCK RECOVERY 1.54.401.5
STOCK RECOVERY 1.54.401.10
STOCK RECOVERY DUAL SIM 1.45.401.12
which one is most suitable with my device ? and is there any difference ?
i tried to flash 1.54.401.5 stock recovery on my htc, but when i get into Hboot and select RECOVERY, i don't think it is working, i see black phone with red thunder sign as a cauition, does that mean i am on recovery mode and can flash a stock rom ?
thanks in advance, and i know you have the ideal answer as you saved me before.:good::good::laugh::laugh::laugh:

You have to restore the stock Backup using e.g. TWRP recovery. It cannot be restored, using stock recovery. After this you can flash stock recovery 1.54.401.5 again. So I guess you have to re-flash TWRP, put the unzipped backup into the TWRP/Backup/Hxxxxx/ folder on your One M8 and run the restore option in TWRP.
After this flash stock recovery, as mentioned.
If you are in stock recovery and enter it using bootloader, you get a red exclamation mark. This is the entrance screen of stock recovery, where you could hold Volume up and press power to enter it.
Any questions, just ask.

Okay. The instructions are in the link. Where are you getting stuck?

Telling someone that has no idea what they're doing to convert the phone isn't very good advice.
OP - do you understand anything about rooting and the commands used to root your phone?

yes i do.. i tried a few things but got stuck in between cos i dont know this stuff in depth..
I tried to unroot by downloading the stock firmware for my phone..
the method i was following was to match my cid number etc which i got through getvar with the firmwares on xda.. that bit i did well but the method i was following said that now i had to copy and paste this firmware in my phone in the backups folder of clockwordmod.. now i couldnt find that folder.. even though the backup i made is occupying space on my phone but i cannot locate it when i try to copy paste the downloaded firmware..
can you tell me where i can find that or tell an alternate way to do this thing?

OK, can you connect your phone when in the bootloader and then use the command fastboot getvar all to get information about your phone and post it up here (making sure you hide the IMEI and serial number, of course)

Indeed! OK, if you want go back to 100% stock, running on Sense as if you just got it out the box you can do the following:
First, download these files to the same location as fastboot:
4.16.401.10 RUU ZIP - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleU2NqcVB3NWxoNnM/view (rename it ruu.zip - not ruu.zip.zip!)
htc_fastboot - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646249 (doesn't need renaming)
1. Relock your bootloader - fastboot oem lock
2. Once done, reboot the bootloader to confirm it says 'RELOCKED' - fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Once relocked, reboot the phone into RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Once in RUU mode, flash the RUU ZIP using the HTC fastboot app - htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
5. It will go through a few passes but once complete reboot the phone to the bootloader - fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. Once back at the bootloader, go into recovery and you should get the stock recovery not CWM. Hold volume up and press power to get the recovery menu and do a factory reset
7. Once the reset has finished, reboot the phone
You should now be working again on 100% stock Lollipop

help needed, new to rooting stuff
Hi forum members. This is my first post and and i am an infant in unlocking and rooting stuff. The reason I am researching these things is because of my HTC one m8. I got this phone used from a seller 6 months ago. I was expecting OTA updates but did not receive any till date. I am still running on 4.4.2 . So, after a bit of searching on forums, I learned about a thing called boot loader. And checked mine. To my surprise it was TAMPERED , UNLOCKED AND S-ON. Now I really don't know what that means. Some suggested to check if it's rooted, installed root checker and it said "device is not rooted" .
Can anyone pLease help me And explain me what all this means as it will be greatly appreciated.I only want to have OTA updates And need stock android. Thanks in advance

Best to start your own thread, and post up the same details as the OP in post #8, rather than confusing things in someone else's thread

That was the second request, the first being to get it back to stock. I was just saying that if they're not familiar with rooting HTC devices then converting to GPe could potentially brick the device

I'm an Arsenal fan but thank you anyway!

hey again
i unrooted my device and it seemed fine then but since day one the device is highly unstable.. I did the hard reset several times but have not been able to fix the problem.. suddenly all the data vanishes from the device and some features get locked ( brightness, power saver and others too). Please suggest what i should do?

Is there a way I can re-flash the stock lollipop with a different RUU file?

Nope, if you still have issues when stock you have a faulty phone

these are definitely sofware issues.. for example one in ten times when i format my device it starts working totally fine... but after a few days the same problem re-appears... the problem is that htc zoe add keeps popping up again and again.. and when it starts i cant adjust the brightness or the power saver options.. the rest of the phone works fine....
can you please suggest if i should convert my phone to GPE? or will it be too difficult a process for a rookie like me?

Sounds like a faulty phone, get it replaced

[Q] Returning to stock, international M8

I unlocked the bootloader (offical version, S-ON) and flashed Dirty Unicorns Marshmallow ROM. The battery life is plain horrible, but I'm not sure if that's because of the ROM or the phone. Now I want to flash it back to stock, mainly because my M8 shut itself off twice yesterday when I used GPS due to overheating (had to hold it near AC in the car so it wouldn't shut down again).
I read a lot of guides, but I'm really confused because HTC complicated it so much (I'm not inexperienced in flashing, had two Sony devices and a Xiaomi). Can anyone help me out?

That's because you are using an old version of TWRP (2.7.x.x) that had a bug that the firmware version wouldn't be listed.
Hook up your phone to your PC and get into fastboot. Enter fastboot getvar all and post the readout here, minus your serial# and IMEI

First of all, update to the current TWRP version 3.0. As @xunholyx indicated, the OS number being blank means you used a really old TWRP version, which can cause a lot of issues. Then flash the ROM again (after default wipe in TWRP - data, cache and Dalvik) and see if that helps.
Or try another ROM.
If you still want to return to stock, you can get the TWRP stock backup here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
What you want is 6.12.401.4
Although, standard operating procedure for any ROM flashing would have dictated that you made a nandroid (TWRP backup) of the stock ROM before flashing anything. If you had done so, you could have simply restore that backup to return to the stock ROM.

Thanks for the help.
Well, I didn't create a nandroid backup of stock ROM since I thought that going back to factory settings was as easy as with Sony or Xiaomi devices. This HTC stuff is way too messed up, and I don't understand why they made it that way. I didn't expect that, tbh.
Edit: just checked, the TWRP version I have is 3.0.2-0.

Your OS/version-main will remain blank until you flash firmware. Just flashing the newer recovery on its own won't do that

You should never assume anything is the same between Android manufacturers; they each have their own quirks. And you should always make a backup before flashing a ROM, root, or other mods.; doesn't matter what the manufacturer.
Returning to stock by flashing a stock TWRP backup is not complicated. Since you've already achieved unlocking the bootloader, flashing custom recovery, and custom ROM; you can certainly handle restoring to stock with a TWRP backup. You basically just download the backup file, unzip the folders, put the folders in the proper place on the phone, then Restore the backup in TWRP. The instructions in the thread I link just break it down into steps, for you convenience. But it all just boils down to getting the backup on the phone (since you didn't make one yourself) and restoring it. I even figured out what version number you needed, and told you. So how much easier do you want it?
Your version also has an RUU (HTC specific restore tool), which will return you to stock after relocking the bootloader. But to be honest, its not that complicated to restore the TWRP backup as already suggested.

I already restored everything to stock and sold the phone. The battery life was horrible even on stock (mostly below 3h SOT with very light usage).
You say I should always make a nandroid. That's true, but for instance with Sony, even if you soft brick your phone, you just downlpad a ftf file and flash it with Flashtool. Also, another reason why I didn't make a nandroid backup of stock is because I didn't have anything worth backing up - it was pure stock without any of my apps installed since the phone was freshly bought off craigslist.

The point of making a nandroid prior to any mods is to backup the stock ROM, not just your personal data.
Always know how to revert to stock, before you start messing with the phone. And how to do that varies with each device. That's all I'm saying.

You're in this predicament because you didn't follow directions. Henceforth, follow directions precisely and if you're unclear, then ask specific questions about those instructions.
IIRC, Nougat RUU won't flash with S-On but you can try it and then see if it takes the OTA to Oreo.
Can you unlock the bootloader? (I don't know if you can just flash the same file you originally used or if you have to get a new one after relocking.) If you can do that, you should be able to install TWRP and flash any of the custom ROMs (LeeDroid for a stock-based ROM).

Okay thanks , im gonna try this , but i dont think that i can flash ruu without stock recovery
and i also cant lock the bootloader cause it needs to enable (oem unlocking) from developer settings and i have no system to do that and i dont know how to do it from fastboot
i tried many times to flash twrp nut i dont think with relocked bootloader and s-on

You dont NEED RUU. OTA is enough!
Try this. Download this OTA which is for your device
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657577036 > remember to refresh link as sometimes androidhostfile shows as not found or error
"OTA_PERFUME_UHL_O80_SENSE90GP_MR_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.2_R4-2.41.401.41_release_519849u8ji7j8e2tj4znyo.zip"
rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip
(make sure its not 2PS6IMG.zip.zip again. show extension in windows to make sure)
put into the root of your SDCARD (transfer via microSD card reader)
put SDCARD back into your phone
boot phone in download mode (volume down + power) let go of power but keep holding volume down for a while
once in download mode the 2PS6IMG.zip will get detected and you can proceed to install by pressing volume up.
YES IT DOESNT MATTER IF UR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED AND S-ON or EVEN IF RECOVERY IS MESSED UP. As long as CID matches (i assume it will since yours is .401 variant as per your bootloader info "version-main: 3.16.401.2" which is unbranded cid / europe /mid.east/africa the link i gave should work)
i screwed up my htc 10 but it got rescued too because of this
Let me know how this went

Just to enlighten you all, the OP says he formatted everything, all the partitions including the system. So there is no OS present on the phone.
In this case a RUU is much better because it also holds the full stock system. The OTA does not contain the full OS. So flashing the OTA on a phone without the OS present is not going to help. The phone will not boot.
All this info is because i had a good read in the OP post. The theory of the OTA is fine but not in this case.
So before you guys will wave your precious little genitals towards me i suggest to read more carefully and base your help on that
Cheers.

Yeah thanks. I deleted all my post because there's no point in arguing. Your correct I totally forgot what the OP problem was after all this. Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Mr Hofs,
Thanks for the enlightenment.
In my case I had erased the OS also. Not only that. I had erased system. Last time I had access to TWRP it kept giving me unable to mount several partitions. After which I lost access to TWRP. The bootloader did not allow me to enter any recovery after that. It just kept rebooting to download mode. Much less I had no OS that would load. Luckily I did not relock bootloader and it was left unlocked. With my past experience with my several HTC devices I know for sure that a major OTA such as this OREO OTA has the ability to completely rewrite the whole system and restore the device to working. I have repeated the scenario and even posted pictures in the post above. You can clearly see the system image is being installed in one of the pictures. So with much respect I really disagree with the whole OTA is not gonna work in this case concept. Because for me I have proof of concept. ?
I stressed several times in this post that it has worked for me. That in my case I had access to download mode and that I used the sdcard method. Download detected the OTA renamed as 2PS6IMG.zip and my phone got fully restored HTC 10 to working condition.
As per my experience as mentioned above HTC phones like many other are designed to pickup "correct" types of installable and device matching zip files from sdcard no matter what the situation is and would try to restore the lost functionality to ensure a device can be used again.
I just hope OP gets his device recovered. Because the OTA link I have provided OP is the same I used. It contains OS and everything vital. Just the OP needs to try. Unless he has a mismatching CID I assume it will work for him too.
Thanks ?
Thanks to XDA community as well.
This would be my last post in this thread unless OP requests my intervention. Speaking of which I wonder where he is when so much has been said. Haha.

It's great it worked for you and i truly hope it helps the OP too. The other weird thing that notices me actually is that in fact the OTA is in this case the same as the RUU ? Why isn't there a 3.16.401 RUU ? I think there are some hiccups when the OTA is refferenced as a RUU (which feels like it is in this thread because it seems to contain the OS and firmware)

Yeah everyone I flash RUU it does bypass some things. Relocking bootloader usually causes problems and I don't know people still keep doing it. I would say flash twrp followed by leedroid but pretty sure you need an unlocked bootloader to flash twrp. Sorry but I'm out of ideas.

M8 won't flash RUU

Hello everyone,
- i'm sry if i posted abt the same issue but i managed to gather more information abt the situation
- 1st of all everytime i reboot i find the same apps installed , pics and missed calls no matter how many times i erase all that and if i installed new apps every reboot it's not there, I wanted to get it back to stock as new but i couldn't and here what i have tried :-
1-couldn't flash stock or custom recovery [failed (Remote : Not allowed)] cuz bootloader is locked, And i couldn't unlock bootloader .
-(after getting unlock code from HTCdev.com and installing it and after selecting yes on the phone to unlock bootloader, phone just reboots)
2-tried to flash RUU (3.30.651.2 & 4.25.651.14) Wizard while phone was on fastboot mode
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!345&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-Phone couldn't boot into bootloader while on fastboot mode so it reboots regularly.
3-tried to flash RUU (3.30.651.2 & 4.25.651.14) wizard while phone was on
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!344&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-did the first steps ok but again when wizard is waiting for bootloader while phone was in fastboot mode, it just reboot regularly.
4-tried renaming another (4.25.651.14) RUU to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on sd-card and went to Hboot.
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!342&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-after clicking yes to confirm the update, Phone rebooted in the middle of the steps .
5-tried flashing same 0P6BIMG.zip from recovery mode.
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!347&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-after 3 mins of hope crushed by verifying update package.... - Installation aborted....
6-tried flashing RUU.zip via fastboot
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=AC7B...23EA2B!346&parId=AC7BFAC4E523EA2B!341&o=OneUp
-phone just reboots regularly when trying to reboot RUU .
7-I contacted HTC support and after givin 'em alot of images and getvar they told me that my phone was modified in two ways (s-off) &
(Recovery tool) , They are telling me that (i must install the android recovery tool once again before proceeding) !! and i need to search on this site (Xda) for the stock recovery, but i think i have the stock recovery tool, and i can't flash any recovery because bootloader is locked, So is there any other way to flash recovery.

Since you are s-off, try this method to unlock bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Although I don't see the point in flashing stock recovery. It won't help your present situation (return to full stock).
What recovery is currently on the phone, stock or TWRP? What happens when you try to select Recovery from the bootloader menu?

-I was flashing 3.30.651.2 RUU.exe while phone was on bootloader mode, The thing is if the phone is on bootloader mode and wizard is showing that it's (Waiting for bootloader...) ,then phone reboots regularly and nothing changed
-And if phone was just on with activated usb debugging and i opened RUU.exe, the first step is to get to bootloader mode and then will send all the data of the RUU, Then it will show it's (Waiting for bootloader....) again, But because the phone is already in bootloader mode, The phone will just reboot as i showed in step 3, so when wizard is trying to go bootloader mode while phone is on bootloader mode that's what make it doesn't work.

-I read abt Nandroid backup and how it takes an exact image of everything on the phone, could it be that someone did that backup and every time phone reboots it restores that backup, and if so how to know if something like that is activated.

Does the phone work normally in OS (but just won't wipe properly)? If you are trying to return to "stock", than what condition is it in now? Is it stock ROM, or otherwise?

So I'm confused if you have stock recovery installed already; why you are trying to install stock recovery, or what that will do for you.

No, that isn't how a nandroid works. You need a custom recovery like TWRP to make a nandroid. And it will only restore if you manually boot into TWRP, and restore it. None of it happens "automatically" like you are describing.

HTC support is wrong on that (or they are misunderstanding). Black screen with red triangle is the stock recovery. Re-installing the stock recovery isn't going to change or help anything.
Based on the widespread (largely storage-related) issues you've described (wiped user data reappearing, bootloader won't unlock despite multiple methods, RUUs won't flash) I tend to think this is an emmc failure, which you can't do much about. And based on the wide variety of options/workarounds you've tried so far (and failed) I don't personally see much (if any) options moving forward, unfortunately. If I think of anything else to try, I'll certainly let you know.

Thanks for your time and effort

You can't trust what is on the back cover. We've often seen these swapped to remove US carrier logos. All indications on your getvar point to the "internals" of the phone (which is the important factor - and what you need to go by) being the Sprint version M8. It's very common to see the Sprint version to have its back cover replaced in order to remove the Sprint logo and sell it as an "unbranded" version (which it really is not).

I'm not really a "hardware" guy. I can never seem to perform any hardware-related repairs on small electronics; despite being an engineer (very technically-minded) and all-around very careful about doing things (too obsessive about the minutia, in fact). But I have to say, changing emmc seems really delicate, and will not turn out well unless you are already experienced with this type of thing, and good at it. As far as I can tell, it involves heating up the chip, then installing the new one and "reflowing" the solder points. All of which looks really tricky, with a bunch of things that can go wrong along the way.
Might be better to have a repair shop do it, or change the whole motherboard, if you really want to go through the effort of hardware repairs to get this phone working again.
If you do change the emmc (or have a shop do it) I would only recommend using one intended for the Sprint M8. If you look at the thread NoIP linked, you will see I'm trying to help him with a weird emmc-motherboard combo, which I am not sure is fixable.

Thanks mate for explaining that
