Hello,
I'm new to Android and yesterday I bought the HTC One M8 (UK, 3). I really do not like Sense 6 so I decided to find out how to convert it to the GPE with OTA updates. I came across this thread and I think it does what I want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441
I know I should post my problem in the thread above but I haven't got enough posts to do so.
I'm a complete noob so would love some assistance please.
1. I downloaded the gpe3.zip to my phone's download folder
2. Turned off phone
3. Hold down volume rocker whilst turning phone on.
4. Click Recovery
5. This appears on my phone and then reboots after a few minutes back to sense:

For that you need a custom recovery, and afaik you need s-off first before you can convert and have ota updates.
Edit :
And no s-off is not available at this time !

what this guy said, + i thought I was borked too seeing this red triangle screen, but turned out for after smashing power and vol, it's just a pre screen to recovery? I don't know which combo did it, but I hit them a couple times and then got to stock recovery screen. But what this guy said, need s-off = no s-off => no GPE for now. Surprised you don't like sense, sense 6 is awesome.
Is S-Off available on Developer Edition or unlocked Edition?

No s-off at this moment on any model
I have questions for you.. Are you unlocked? if no, unlock via HTCDEV.. Do you have a custom recovery? If no, you need one. LOTS of prerequisites.
As a N00B, you have ALOT more reading and understanding to do BEFORE you flash ANYTHING...
Take this advice, and do more reading before you go and brick your phone..
Yeah so you broke your phone huh?

First thing you need to unlock your bootloader and root at same time be quicker. Then install philz custom recovery and make a nand backup just in case all fails. Then download the required rom and flash as normal via recovery

Theres no need to use weaksauce. Flash supersu.zip via recovery from chainfire. Also philz posted instructions how to flash recovery via ADB
Since you are unlocked, flash recovery from fastboot. fastboot flash recovery "recoveryname.img" you dont need root since you'll be flashing a rooted ROM anyways.
I heard its possible to convert to google play edition today is that correct?

S-off is not working 100 percent with every EU/Asia Based M8 you can try firewater but be aware it may not complete the S-Off process successfully if you have an EU/Asia based M8, if you want the GPE experience simply download a custom recovery (TWRP/Philz CWM) then flash GPE Rom only, do not attempt to use RUU GPE as that requires S-Off.

hey i had to unroot my desire hd for some reason, and i used PD98IMG.zip file to do so....!
I succesfully did it and ended up in android 2.2 version....
Now i want to root the phone again, been searching on xda for a tut but couldnt find, can some one help me with a tut to root my dhd...
Last time i rooted using some advance hack kit
Scince the aahk no longer works, you will have to unlock the bootloader using htc dev. There is a guide how to do this by glevitan, cant give the link atm though. Just google for it.

i somewhow got a link to advance hack kit !
Will it be of no use ?
I tried running it but its drivers are not compatable with... windows 8
I dont think it will work, because official support stopped. You might be able t find the last version online, but scince its not official....... It could do some bad stuff to your system. I would go with the htc dev way, its not that hard really.

Hack Kit has been retired and so have been the files needed to downgrade...so, if you get stuck you won't get support or help.
That it is just your call. For Windows 8 you need the 4.xx drivers that are included in HTC Sync's lastest version.

AAHK is not only not supported; the server hosting the files it downloads automatically has been shut down. So no, it won't work. You can still unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM that way.

But have some minor doubts to be cleared..
1)Should i flash recovery.zip Given here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377757 In step 2 in Fast boot..?
2) Should i flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip in recovery as given here in step 3 > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 Or will i be able to install superSu directly from android market ??
3) Installig a custom rom is simply done by flashing it in recovery says the pdf manual provided in step 2, but the thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500 tells to flash via fast boot . Wchich one is t be followed ??
4) what are the pre req to install recovery through fast boot ? should i install anything in pc, i have nothing related to Htc installed in my Pc.
0. The link you're linking to and the one I'm linking to are different. I linked you to a one-click solution. You're looking at a more manual solution.

1. Yes.
2. Flash.
3. You can do either. Recovery is easier.
4. HTC Sync from their website.

If you have adb and fastboot, you're fine. Check by trying to use them in cmd. If they don't work (if they say command not found or something like that) install it from HTC.

The tools is intended to help easy the process of unlocking / relocking the bootloader for HTC devices. This is for STOCK devices only, so if you are S-OFF or running a custom rom already, do not use this tool.

Instructions: W.I.P.
To install the OTA, your system needs to have all the files it shipped with, untouched. If you've added files, such as Superuser.apk to the system, it's fine, as long as nothing was removed or overwritten. You'll also need to have the stock recovery flashed to your device to install the OTA. (Link below...) If your system files are modified, I'd suggest restoring a stock nand backup from this thread. Before restoring one of these, PLEASE backup your current setup. Also, your device does NOT need to be relocked to install this if you are S-Off. I am unsure for S-On users.

I've always been S-Off before ever doing an OTA, so I am unsure about that, but with S-Off, as long as no system apps were removed or changed, and you flash the stock recovery, the OTA should push and install just fine. You'll also be okay if you added files to your system, as long as you didn't overwrite or remove any. After accepting the OTA, I always flash TWRP again, make a backup, then re-flash SU.

Yes nexus is very simple what I like about it, my M9 kinda died last night LCD just has lines all down the screen have to return

Returning mine tomorrow from where I purchased hopefully I can swap for a different device this is the worst thing I've ever owned, Also seems to be a common fault on this device friend of mine had not long after release but was worse then this, Saw other people with it too on other forums
Haven't had a HTC device since the m7 and HTC Max.
Managed to get the HTC10 as a deal for my Moto X Style and £110.
I've had a look into the bootloader screen and it's showing this. What would this mean? Thanks

Which bit are you referring to?
Your bootloader is unlocked and you're s-on is what I can see but you're question is quite vague.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs
That's pretty much it.... it has an unlocked bootloader
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
OK would that mean the previous owner unlocked the bootloader then? Or do some phones come unlocked?
I guess if when I get round to rooting. I can S-off. And then flash custom recovery etc.
When I had my m7 this screen looked different. I think it was the hboot menu...
Just wondered what the 'htc_pmeuhl' bits means as well. Thanks.

That's the code name for the HTC 10. And I guess the previous owner unlocked the bootloader, your on 401 os which is international and I don't think (not 100% sure) that they come unlocked.
You would have to install a custom recovery to gain root, then s-off.

I'm guessing 401 is curren.
tly the most Updated version? He must have then yeah. Definitely unlocked though it's worked with EE network and O2 as well. Thanks. Will look into it cheers.

401 means it's an international variant, that part won't change unless you decide to s-off, go super cid and flash a different base. The first two numbers give you the version you're on. You're on 1.30.401 and the latest firmware is 1.80.401.

Getting thread has been deleted by administrator. ? I take it there is a wide range of RUUs and should be able to use that to restore to stock. And I guess could follow the instructions posted there? How do I find out what my correct version and stock cid is etc? I remember from the m7 there was some type of facebook command which brought up the phone info? Thanks

He, random, I just followed it fine. But yeah, there's a good guide of RUU, can't remember if it's in general or Q&A. Your version is in the picture you sent. 1.30.401.1 and when you went super cid, you should have taken note of your original cid. I'm not sure what it would've been.

I currently haven't done anything with the phone. Got it less then 24hrs ago. Swapped my phone and some money for it. I checked the bootloader last night and it had unlocked. Which I thought was odd as the person I got it off said he hadn't done any rooting with it.
So your saying from my picture it looks like I'm super cid? Thanks.

Bootloader won't show you and not sure about system info, never used it. To find your cid and mid, boot to your bootloader and connect to PC, then use 'fastboot getvar cid'to find your cid and 'fastboot getvar mid' to find your mid. I write mine down in a text file to always have a note of what they are.

Hey all,
First, let me apologize for being that guy. The one who asks a stupid question where the fitting response is "read the damn thread." That said, I'm having a hard time figuring this out. I've read a number of threads and don't fully understand how to get this done.Coming from a Nexus 5 where flashing was very straightforward, so please be gentle.
I'm currently running a stock, rooted, unlocked, and S-ON Htc 10. I would like to upgrade to the 1.80 firmware without losing my data and settings. Can someone help me out and point me in the right direction? Thanks for the help.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I agree, I'm on the T-Mobile version, still on the stock 1.21 but running a great ROM.
Was'nt hard to unlock and root this phone, and put a on ROM too. But this whole S-Off stuff and firmware updating seems so alien and strange to me.
I also coming from a Nexus and OnePlus before that, those phones easy as 1st grade to just flash a zip in Recovery for a new firmware or modem update. Why is HTC phones so difficult to do such an easy task, and the whole CID thing too, WTF ?

A cid basically determines your phones region/network and when/where to get updates.
S-off is turning the security off so you can do things, like update your firmware not specifically released for your cid. In order to do this your cid needs to be changed (super cid covers all bases) and sometimes your mid (model id)
@AliLaPointe depending on your firmware determines what you should do, but I'd highly recommend going s-off. Saves so much hassle.

Shouldn't see that being a problem so long as you choose the 1.80.617 version.
Make sure you read up though, as I have only ever used s-off so I'm not 100% certain and if it doesn't go how you want, I don't want to be held responsible. :laugh:

You definitely don't need to S-off to update.
There is a 1.80 ruu in the guide section. But you'll lose all data that way.
You say you're rooted, but do you get an error when you try to check for the ota update in settings? If so, there are ways to fix that without losing data.
Read the twrp FAQ (dev section) did help with restoring to stock in order to take an ota.
Sorry but I'm having trouble understand exactly what problem you're having. There's an abundance of information on here already about taking ota. So maybe if you tell me exactly what you're not understanding I can point you in the right direction.

There is no update for T-Mobile yet. Once there is, it will be very easy for you to update.

Hey Jolly,
Thanks for helping man. Really appreciate it. So what's going on is that I get an error when I try to update via the normal system option. That said, I'm wondering if I can simply run a zip to bring me up to 1.80. Just trying to understand my options.
