HTC One M8 Stock Recovery

I've Htc One M8 with CID: HTC__332 and MID: 0P6B16000. I was testing some rooting methods and in doing so I lost my stock recovery which is version 1.12.599.20. though I've successfully get S-ON, Locked, Tampered Removed but I've some below issues:
1. I'm not getting OTA for 1.54 or else which has extreme power mode etc
2. how to get back my stock recovery for 1.12.599.20
3. how to get OTA file for version 1.12.599.20
4. I am in Kuwait and here LTE band is 1800 whereas my mobile band is 700/aws/2600 so is there any way that I can use LTE in Kuwait?
5. how to change the whole version mean any intl build apart from 1.12.599.20

I'm really tired, but correct me if I'm wrong, 1.54 doesn't have extreme power saver, it was just some radio updates and technical mumbo jumbo, once again correct me if I'm wrong I was just browsing before bed

"Not getting" as in it doesn't appear at all, or "not getting" as in it won't install properly? It doesn't really matter, however, as it won't install unless you have a stock recovery. It's also possible whatever other changes you've made to the system partition would block the OTA.

Start searching and reading. You'll have to do a LOT of reading to find the details you need. It's good for you.
Take care

I doubt you'll be able to ota with 1.54 installed as I don't think that is stock on your device. You can install 1.54.401.10 from the stock backup thread but don't expect to be able to install future ota's.

1. no it is not appearing at all
2. in Stock collection thread, there is no recovery for my version: 1.12.599.20 and I also tried many other but all failed
3. yeh I am searching

If it's not appearing at all, don't panic. It might just not be available for your specific device. That's not a cause for concern.

Have you got stock recovery installed?
Also I'm not sure why you went s-on and relocked as that wasn't necessary to do an ota.

[Q] Splash screen/Boot Animation issue

Hey guys, I'm running ViperOne 2.4.0. with TWRP recovery installed. For some reason when it boots up, the only thing it shows is an unusual HTC splash screen with red writing at the bottom, similar to if it were booting into recovery, but without the pink "entering recovery" message at the top. What is causing this, can it be changed by adding a new splash screen and/or boot animation? It just stays on this screen for a painfully long time, and then goes black. I tap the screen and it's on, and everything is fine. Thanks in advance.

Because you guys on the lower version firmware which is meant for 4.4.2
And the ROM requires a newer firmware for 4.4.3

You don't need S-Off to upgrade firmware with official untouched firmware.
With S-On you can't downgrade.
I believe your device is T-Mobile so grab the OTA.zip from T-Mobile section and extract out the firmware and use it.
Or.. do a proper OTA update.... or use the RUU ... all your answers are in T-Mobile section

Okay, and to find out the current firmware I'm running, that's listed as "Build Number" in settings, yes? It says I'm currently running 2.22.531.5 CL365360 release-keys. Is there a newer firmware than that? If so I'm not finding it.

I never know a Viper ROM is based on 2.22.531.5 CL365360 release-keys Your OP is mentioning about Viper.
Firmware is what written on bootloader - OS : ?????????
In Build Number in settings is the ROM version.
Well I guess I need to stop responding to Q&A for devices which have their own specific forum ....
I know nothing when it comes to T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon ... sorry
users with specific device can understand better and offer a better help and advice.
always wondering why people with specific device with specific forum post in Int'l GSM forum

First of all, this isn't an "international GSM" forum. It's an HTC One M8 forum. That to me, means that it's for all users of this particular phone. Second, there is nothing that explains in explicit detail how I can fix this particular problem, in the T-Mo specific forum. Anyway, thanks.

That's what I'm trying to tell.
You do have a lower version firmware meant for 4.4.2 (the reason why it takes long time to boot and the black screen)
Firmware 4.4.3 has hboot 3.18.0.000 or greater than 3.16.0.0000

Do I flash this in Hboot? Do I need to be on a stock rom, or S-off? I'd rather not have to deal with that if I can help it.

There is no need to go for S-Off if you don't need it. The only thing is once you updated to 4.4.3, S-Off thru SunShine may not work too. (currently)
So it's all depends on what you want/prefer to do :
1. backup your current Viper ROM and revert to stock ROM and do normal OTA (no need to relock bootloader)
Once complete, reinstall TWRP and restore your Viper ROM backup (so no reinstalling hassle)
or
2. revert to stock ROM with RUU (you need to relock bootloader)
Once complete, you need to reunlock bootloader and install TWRP and restore your backup.
or
3. keep/backup your current setup of Viper ROM and flash only the HTC signed firmware either thru fastboot or use a external_sdcard method. Both way you need to relock bootloader and re-unlock again after complete. Always remember unlocking bootloader will wipe your data. So make a backup to PC first. And you need to reflash TWRP too. You can try without relock bootloader first and see as I can't remember whether it will work on an unlocked bootloader or not. If not working, then try again with relocked bootloader.
I guess you can have all the info and files needed in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714456

Okay thanks man. None of that sounds like something I feel like doing this weekend. I'll see how I feel Monday and attempt it. Many thanks for your patience.

Speaking personally, I would say if you currently have the ability to s-off you may as well do it and save yourself some headaches. Reason being, if you're s-off you can, for example, flash a modified firmware that doesn't erase your rom or bootloader, which to me, is a lot less confusing and troublesome. You can also do things like flash different radios, animations, etc without installing new roms and what not. Anyways, that's just my opinion and I don't claim to be an expert or anything, just another random user.

You should stop making threads, start reading or just return the phone to stock and keep it that way.
Looking at the other threads you created you haven't learned much.
Please make nandroid backups so you can always return to some previous point or at the point where you left off when you flash something. These are basic steps.
Now reflash the rom you were running or flash a totally other rom or preferably the full stock rom for your device.
Don't flash any of the newer roms because you will have more errors because of the low (3.16) hboot.
Edit : and why on earth aren't you using the power of s-off to update the firmware and update to the newest android L roms ???

What do you mean if you could find out how? A quick search in Google gives plenty of results. The general section of this thread is littered with guides, the Development section is littered with guides.
The real question is, How can you NOT find out how to do it? Of course... you didn't really look for it, did you?
One quick Google search:
HTC One M8 firmware collection for different CID/MID | 3.28.401.9
[2014.11.10][GUIDE] FUU and Firmware flashing
Firmware Flashing without the panic attacks...
RUUs, OTAs, Stock TWRP Backups, Firmware & More Collection
At the link above(RUUs, OTAs etc) you can find the OTA for Telus to latest 3.34.661.4 which contains the firmware.zip inside the OTA.zip. You can also get the 3.34.661.4 nandroid backup from there.

i have been reading i have looked at so many site s i m going to leave it for a couple days and start fresh. thanks for the help guys

Just got an M9 today and need some tips...

Hello everyone, I I just got an M9 at my local Telus store and I would like to be able to do everything with it like I am able to do with my M7, so I know I will need to use sunshine to get S-OFF and I would also like to be able to change everything from the rom to the kernel to the OS, everything, so I was just wondering if someone could let me know the best order to go about doing things, meaning should I do sunshine first then worry about flashing a recovery and all that, or should I do the recovery first so that I can backup the phones current state? The phone currently says this in the hboot screen:
*** LOCKED ***
LK-1.0.0.0000
OS-1.32.661.6
and this is what it says on the phones Setting-About-Software screen:
Android version
5.0.2
HTC Sense version
7.0
Like I mentioned before, it would probably be best if I can make a backup of the phones current state just in case there are any issues, so to do that I know I need a recovery, but do I need to do the HTC Dev unlocker before I can do so? or do I have to flash a recovery first before everything else?
Now, before anyone gets upset with me for asking these questions because they have most likely been asked 1000 times before, I am not asking to be spoon feed all the details step by step, I am just asking to be pointed in the right direction and asking for you guy's opinions on the best way to go about doing things so that I do them right the first time... So if anyone could please take a minute to help me out and get me pointed in the right direction then it would be greatly appreciated... thank you very much...

First thing you should do is unlock your bootloader. After that you can install twrp and flash supersu (most can be found here) Once you are rooted run sunshine. After that the sky is the limit. You will be free to flash anything and everything. I know because I've done it. If you want to convert to a developers edition there is a post here. Personally I do not use my stock recovery or system image backups to download ota's. I prefer to run an RUU and do fresh installs. Reason why is because I am constantly changing firmware and roms. A lot of roms are based on the WWE firmware.
let me know if you have any more questions

Thank you very much for the tips.. Do I use the HTC Dev website to unlock the bootloader? I seen a link in the dev thread that said Unlock bootloader without HTCDev(root required), but I bet that the HTCDev way is probably the best best. which did you use? I'm not at home right now so I will begin when I get home later on tonight and if I need anything else I will post back, plus I post back to say how everything goes.. Thanks again for help, it is very much appreciated...

I've used htcdev for all 2 out o 3 of my m9's. third one is a developer edition so it wasn't needed.
just note download mode is fastboot mode on the m9. htcdev says to boot to fastboot mode and if you do not know than you can waste hours trying to figure it out.

cool..let me know if you get stuck anywhere

Ok so I got the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, right now I am taking a backup of the phones current state just in case. Now I just need to flash the SuperSU beta from the link you provided and then run sunshine, after that I would like to flash the latest OS for my phone, but I am not sure which version to use, I think this one is correct http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-red-t3097678 but I am not 100% sure, do you know if this is the correct latest version for my phone?
Also should I supercid my phone before updating the firmware by entering "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" while in download mode? because my cid is TELUS001 and I do not see that cid listed in the androidinfo.txt file that is in the firmware zip...
Thanks again for all your help...
**UPDATE** I now have S-OFF, I can't believe how smooth the whole process is now with sunshine compared to almost all of my other HTC phones, hats off to those guys for sure... Thank you very much for getting me this far!!! I appreciate it very much...

I was actually just going to tell you to type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
while in download mode and to copy and paste that into a file a text file somewhere so you always have it. then you can supercid. I actually have never seen any firmware for your carrier. what is your mid? this is where I get all of my firmware from. I learned how to remove the red text using hex editor and I also throw in a custom splash screen before I flash.
Here is a link for your stock firmware. not sure what the most up to date is but most custom roms are using the WWE firmware anyways.
p.s. either quote me or tag me if you need a faster response. I'm not getting notifications otherwise.

I honestly don't know if the hardware is any different but it looks like your mid is the same as the dev ed. check this one out. @clsA is very knowledgeable on the m9. I learned a lot of what I know from his posts.
Personally I have gotten so relaxed that I just change my mid and cid to whatever it is I want to flash and just go for it. But I also understand that I'm risking a brick by doing so..lol

If going to dev ed I have had better luck running an RUU and accepting ota's as far as the radio goes. my reception went from 2 bars to full bars doing it that way verses just flashing the newest firmware. But it is a very long and tedious process and since you just got your m9 I'm sure you want to use it already..
What rom are you thinking about flashing?

What rom are you thinking about flashing?

I am hoping to flash ViperOneM9 3.5.0, it was the only rom I ran on my M7 and I loved it, so I'm really hoping to have it on this phone too... I just asked in the roms thread to see if anyone else there is on my same network to see how they got it working... and to be honest I don't mind waiting in order to get things done the right way the first time, know what I mean...

Viper is one of my favorites. Was using it for months. They are good about replying too... A little too good because you get spoiled. Then when you post on other roms and nobody ever replies you realize how good those guys are..haha
check out the second line on this thread to reclaim 3 gb of data after using sunshine. I've been s-off for months and just saw this today.

do you know where I can find the latest international RUU? what rom are you running now?

@bigp951
Ok so I got the firmware updated to the latest international version 2.10 and was able to flash the ViperOne Rom and I love it just like I did for my M7... Everything is working great, except I have the problem that you mentioned would happen, I only show 1 bar for my signal strength, could you please let me know exactly what you had to do to fix it? Also, I would just like to say thank you once more, you helped me out a great deal and you made my upgrade to the M9 an absolute cake walk, so thank you very much for everything and for explaining the proper steps to take, I appreciate it very much...

Updating to Android 6.0 not possible?

Hello,
I am in need of some help.
2 weeks ago i bought the HTC One M9.
A few days ago the update to android 6.0 message popped up.
I have probably tried updating it like 15 times already, but everytime the first part is downloaded, and my phone reboots, after 1/4th of the updating it shows a red triangle with an exclamation point in it.
I have tried wiping the cache, it didn't help.
Honestly i don't have a clue what's wrong, or where i can find out what went wrong, so i would really appriciate all the help i can get.
Example of what happens:

A few more details will be helpful:
- what variant do you have (locale & carrier)?
- is your phone modified (ie, custom recovery and/or root)?
In order to take an over-the-air update, the phone must be completely stock. If it is not, you'll need an RUU to restore your phone to stock (be sure to backup your information first). Then you'll be able to take the OTA update.

Hey, thanks so much for your reply
I am pretty sure i got the dutch version, it might be belgium.
The carrier is vodafone.
I am pretty sure its not rooted etc, since i didn´t do anything with it.
What does stock and RUU mean?(I am a total noob with this.)

Hi there,
To clarify - your phone boots to its current software with no problem, right? If so, it would be a wise thing for you to determine your MID (model ID) and CID (carrier ID). There are a number of guides - Google is your friend. I recommend looking up ADB installation, your OS (Mac, Windows, Linux) and going from there.
Once you know your MID & CID, we can help you find out what firmware is available for you.
To learn about RUUs, VenomROM has a great page that explains about what they are and how to use them.
Peace,
Computerslayer

Yes my phone boots to current software without any problems right now.
Some info i found:
CID: VODAPE17
MID did not show for some reason. I tried multiple ways using adb shell and fastboot, but shell doesnt show anything and fastboot gets stuck at waiting for device.
Is finding my MID nessecary to fix this update problem? If so how can i find it?

Power of your M9
Power on & press at the same time to enter in the bootloader, volume -
on the top of the screen, is it writed locked or unlocked?

Hey thanks for your reply.
It says unlocked. Is that normal or could it be an/the issue?

If you are unlocked, it's related to your issue.
You have to flash a RUU to be "stock" and ready for the OTA...

Alright, so if i understand correctly i can flash a RUU (whatever it is lol) without having to backup without doing a clean install. The phone wont wipe my data?
Would this guide be what you mean?
how-to-flash-ruu-firmware-htc-one-m9/
from naldotech
com

If you flash an RUU....your device will be wiped clean....as it came out of the box...
Then you can OTA on a clean....stock rom....g

The Thread is a good one.
More explication of what is needed in post2 or post 3 of TWRP thread (about Google's new limitation for the OTA).
Beware flashing a RUU will wipe everything, don't forget to backup all you take care...
