firmware - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i got an htc one m8 yesterday and it already had twrm in it . I tried uninstalling it but couldnt and ended up loosing the firmware , Later I download a so called stock android version and flashed it .
I checked the download mode .. It shows tampered Unlocked and S-ON
So.,I need help in unrooting the device and get the original android version so that OTA updates
I have less knowledge in checking if i already have the official firmware and if it is unrooted. If not how do i get it
my software number is 1.54.401.5 and i have an international version
Thank u

You don't need to unroot or relock the bootloader to download and install an OTA. Just install a stock recovery and make sure the OS is stock with nothing deleted.
You can do that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

[Q] Update 1.29

Hi all,
I unlocked my boot loader and flashed clockworkmod Recovery V5.8.2.7.
I just received the update from HTC:
1.28.720.10 to 1.29.720.10 for Asia India. When clicking on the file to update, the phone reset itself and the clockworkmod recovery screen appeared with an error.
So I was unable to update the phone.
I have uploaded a screenshot with all the info.
The phone is an HTC One X unlocked version bought from amazon (Made in India)
I am not sure what other information is required so if you need anything just let me know and I will update.
You need to flash a stock recovery prior OTA update. The update will fail with a CWM recovery installed.

I think you also have to re-lock your phone after restoring your stock recovery.
is there any other way then to update the ota updates?

Flash a custom rom instead. Most devs have all the latest OTA updates in there builds anyway. As soon as a new OTA update is available then the Devs will update there roms.

If you would like to stay with stock kernel and ROM, there is no other way.
Even if you choose to flash a custom ROM, you will need to do these steps anytime you would like to go back to stock ROM delivered in the form of an RUU.
See this thread for installing RUU's after custom ROM
Can you recommend a decent guide how to flash a custom rom and a good custom rom to use.
Thank you all for your quick responses.

You can find what's available in this sticky thread.
As for recommending, I would suggest you check out the OP pages for different ROMs and read up on the latest posts in each thread. This will give you an idea on what the ROM looks like, the features it supports and the level of support you will be getting for each ROM.

NO. Your phone should have the original recovery on it and, if it's unlocked, it has to be relocked to get the RUU to install.
ok, my phone has s-off, so i will look into it.

So you are among the lucky few. Hats off to you.
I don't know what it's like to have s-off but normally install stock recovery before rellocking. Otherwise, you will be stuck.

Unable to locate 1.29.720.11 (Asia - India) RUU for my HOX

Dear Team,
I just got my hox which was updated to the latest Asia - India 1.29.xxx (forgot the last digits) however i rooted the same using one click rooting method, post which the phone was rebooting everytime i was playing any music file.
So i went to the recovery and tried clearing cache/sdcard/system/etc but that didn't help, then i tried formatting the sdcard/system and post that my phone is stuck on the boot screen.
Now i tried doing everything mentioned on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190&highlight=disaster
However, it seems that only solution for me is to go back to stock, but my problem is the RUU which is not available on the link mentioned in that post...: http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
So i am kindda stuck here...any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks a ton in advance...

The digits of the rom version number that you have forgotten are vital if anyone is to assist you in finding the RUU number.
If you can provide them, I will be able to find it for you (If it exists).
You can find your software version no. by going to bootloader, fastboot mode
And type : fastboot getvar version-main
This is mine as example:
C:\fastboot>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.29.707.11
finished. total time: 0.007s
And for Asia-India usually is 1.2x.720.xx

Or else if any other indian user can upload their stock rom..will that work?
Yes you can use other indian boot files. Check your pc whether you have yoour nandroid backup , just flash the boot.img file if you have it.
Else ask any other indian who has nadroid backup of 1.29.
I am indian but i have 1.28 base only. you can flash that too. to get it works.

[Q] OTA update failed

Hi,
This morning, I received the OTA update for Android L. I downloaded it but when I tried to install it, at about 2/3 minutes after it started, the little "!" icon turned red and my phone restarted. I tried an other time and it failed again..
A couple of months ago, I've installed on my device the Stock ROM (odexed version) and the Stock Recovery for Android 4.4.2 (for the HTC One M8, obviously). Everything went well. Then, I was able to update to 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 thanks to the OTA updates without any issues.
How can I install this new OTA update ?
For your information, on my bootloader, I can read "Software status: Modified", "Relocked" and "S-OFF". My CID is 11111111.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I've got the same problem! Any help/guidance would be appreaciated.
It is same to me too .Just tried for second time and update was failed !
Same problem. I've just relocked the bootloader and return to S-On -> Same problem
I'm also having this problem, S-Off'd but stock firmware.
I'm also having this problem, i have s-on, and stock recovery, bootloader status modified.
You all guys have a modified system or firmware, thats the reason why you have Modified in bootloader.
Download the 4.16.401.10 RUU or 3.28.401.9 Nandroid.. Then flash 3.28.401.9 stock firmware and get your OTA.
btw @mosk59 the biggest mistake you did is going back to S-ON.. i would never do that.

Edit: those links for getting ur device in stock state not flashing MM firmware but i found it useful to share
The linked instructions are obsolete since the backups they were made for do not exist anymore. The updated instructions and the revised backups can be found in my google sheet (a link is in my signature).
But be informed that there is no official MM update for other versions of the M9 than the developer and the unlocked US version. If you want MM on any of the other models you need either S-OFF, sneakyghosts firmware package and the latest Viper rom or S-OFF and all files found in clsA's instructions for converting your M9 to a developer edition.
the Only way to back is flash RUU.and the cid must same and RUU's version must equal or higher than your M9 have

The bootloader only gets locked if you relock it with fastboot. (And because many people here seem to be missinformed: There is no need to relock if you want to install OTAs or flash a RUU.zip. The only things that don't work with S-ON and an unlocked bootloader are using a RUU.exe and flashing official firmware packs with fastboot.)

Well the post doesn't list your CID so it might. Haven't tried flashing different CID.

Haha trust Australia to not get the tech support and love from the devs! Yeah I guess I might have to do the same. I need to sell my phone so I have to restore it to the stock state, otherwise the person buying it is going to complain about the updates not being able to install haha.
Try using an older recovery. There is one on the stock thread for Au devices.
here is the stock recovery for your phone. It is from version 1.80 but it should still work.
copy it to your TWRP directory and install it through twrp.
