Hi there,
I was adviced to install this RUU in order to get s-off on my UK HTC M8 via SunShine (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/uk-htc-m8-convert-to-gpe-t2917020). However, I am currently still s-on and my CID/MID does not match the ones mentioned in the OP.
Can I still use this RUU or how to I switch the CID/MID to match?
Cheers,
Tolotos

Hi, Would this method also work for Verizon One M8 or is it possible to convert Verizon into developer/unlocked sense edition?

I would not advise running any mods that are not specifically intended for the Verizon version.

Question regarding BrightStar US HTC One M8 RUU

I need help, can someone point me into the direction of where to find the developer edition hbootable ruu for HTC one m8. I can't even get to the first screen with the ruu, it always closes. Somebody please help

How do I install S-on version if I can't change CID or MID? Or is there a way to change those while S-on?

No. If that was so then we would not need s-off to change it anymore.
:sly: you answered your own question !

Can you update the links for the zip files? Can't download it from the links provided and I prefer using the zip instead of exe, thank you

The link for the zip files doesn't work, says no file found? Can you fix this? Thanks

I got the AT&T M8 and I've been Developer Edition converted for a long time now. So the other day I requested the unlock code for my M8 from AT&T and they emailed it to me but when I power off the phone put in Tmobile Sim and turn back on it never prompts for the Carrier unlock code. It boots up and it prompts the menu up for me to select what carrier I want.
So did the Developer conversion some how unlocked my M8??
Or do I just need to RUU back to stock and apply the unlock code??
Thanks

Software version 1.12.600.20
I'm a mexican user and my software version is really uncommon, I think it's only for my carrier (TELCEL). But it's a GSM phone. I'm trying to change it to developer edition because I will never get the update, I'm still on 4.4.2, I have never received any OTA.
Will this work?
Btw, I have an unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and root. of course I will pay for the S-off before, doing the process.
My CID is HTC__332 and MID 0P6B160

Yes, you will be able to install the Dev Edition RUU. You will need to change your CID and MID to that of the DE phone (SuperCID is also okay, but you will still need the right MID).
Also, no need to run the 1.54 RUU. You can run the Dev Ed RUU for the current version (3.28): http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-developer-edition-3-28-1540-5-t2918749

No problem at all doing that. RUU is a complete image, and over-writes every partition. Therefore, you can "skip" intermediate RUUs. I would not have told you to skip right to the current RUU, if there was a problem with doing it.
This is in contrast to an OTA, which often is not a complete image, and therefore usually expects and requires intermediate OTAs to be installed (in other words, all OTAs for your CID need to be installed in sequence).

HTC stock RUU

Hi.
I have a 100% stock one m8. If i now want to root it and install a rom from here, can i than use the RUU from HTCdev.com to make it 100% stock again? Or will it still say tampered and no OTA updates?
Thanks

Those are not RUUs, they are kernel sources.
Only the US versions of the M8 have RUUs.

Oh, is that all? :/
So the only way to get back to stock is installing a stock backup and recovery?

And Canadian.
I actually am pretty sure that all WWE M8s have RUUs.
I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Which Canadian versions have RUUs? I haven't seen any, although that of course does not mean that they exist.
The Euro, EMEA versions definitely do not have RUUs; as its a common issue that folks here have trouble and don't have an RUU to fall back on. I've seen very few RUUs, the only ones I've seen are AT&T, T-Mob, and I think Verizon and Sprint, as well as GPE and Dev ED RUUs.

My friend bought an M8 last month as an upgrade to his M7.
He called me about a week and a half ago saying he had got an RUU for his phone and have I ever flashed one.
I said no, I haven't. He said he would just follow the instructions.
I just called him now asking about it, and he said it was for his M7. He's just getting into rooting, and wants to try stuff on his old phone to learn.
So yes, there are no Canadian M8 RUUs. Thanks for correcting me and clearing that up.

I was still mistaken, but there is this.

Yes, but that ruu is only and pure for the people that have s-off ! s-on users with a higher main can't use it as they can't downgrade the bootloader......

Point taken, didn't know if he was goin down the s-off route or not.
Just thought I'd point it out in case he was.

It says right in the thread title, its the zip from the RUU, not an RUU itself. And the fact you probably won't find the RUU itself might mean this was leaked and never officially released.
Its also for an extremely old software version, and as Mr Hofs points out, s-off is required. So there is a good reason folks need to use Mr Hofs nandroid thread.

GPE M8 From Play Store...Want to go to Sense...

OK guys, so I am a longtime HTC owner. I had the M8 when it came out, took a break in June, and now just picked up a GPE M8 so I could get full AT&T / T-Mobile support. As much as I like stock Android, I am missing Sense, so I would like to convert the original GPE M8 to Sense. I am S-Off and have an unlocked bootloader. Is it just a matter of following the same steps as a converted GPE M8 back to Sense? Flashing Firmware and then a ROM?
Thanks,
Y2J

[Q] HTC Developer Edition Questions

I recently converted my HTC One M8 to a developer edition and I had a few questions.
1. What is latest update out for the developer edition. (5.0.1 or 5.0.2)
2. Will I receive OTA updates?

1) 5.0.1 I believe, but I may be mistaken. It should be 5.1.0 soon.
2) If you converted properly, yes. You will get updates before most do. GPE and Dev Ed get the new goodies first.

Is you CID BS_US0001?
Did you flash the stock GPe recovery?
Did you convert with this method?
If the answers are yes, then you have converted properly.

My CID is 11111111 which I though was fine.
No, I didn't follow that tutorial but I will tell you what I did. I converted my phone to a Google Play Edition a couple months back and I wanted to go back to sense. So I changed my CID to 111111111 and my MID to the Dev ID/ATT ID (the same) and I flashed the stock ATT RUU. It worked fine so I then proceeded to convert to a developer edition by flashing the Developer Edition RUU. Now I'm here.

But I'm not positive that superCID will allow OTAs. I'm not saying it won't, I'm saying I don't know. I think it might though.

I have a T-mobile HTC One M9. Can I update to nougat using the unlocked RUU?

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible for me to use the stock RUU to update to nougat on my htc one m9 rather than waiting for t-mobile to release a verified rom later in the year?

Yes u can. Just make sure that u are s-off and bootloader unlocked and then flash the dev edition ruu and u will get nougat.

Not quite. To flash the developer RUU on a T-Mobile branded M9, you'll need to change your MID & CID to match the SKU of the developer edition RUU. If you don't know about these acronyms, stop what you are doing and read up. The FAQ section of the M9 readme thread, question 9, walks you through converting GSM phones (like the T-Mobile version) to the developer edition.

Not until Sprint releases the Android Nougat update.
The only update the is currently available is for the developer edition of the M9, a GSM model. Sprint is a CDMA carrier and incompatible with GSM.

Thanks for clarifying.
And you cannot flash on sprint or cdma phones. The ruu is only for gsm phones.

RUUs have the firmware along with everything else. While I'm pretty sure there's a way to flash individual components (radio, firmware, et cetera), that is beyond me. I stick to using the RUUs, and recommend them heartily. The easiest method is the SD card method - outlined in that same post. You'll end up wiping your internal phone storage (so back up what you care about), but it'll get you to the latest and greatest for the M9.

Really? I read that you couldn't use an RUU because verify key on firmware v1-3 is different from the one on v4, so you need v4 firmware to use a v4 RUU, which requires using a method. So I converted to dev/ATT/unlocked, flashed a v3 RUU I found online, and now I'm going to try to update to v4 which is apparently safer. If this fails, I'll try the RUU. After all, this is all vanilla to HTC so it should tell me if it won't work.

I'm pretty sure the issues about keys has to do with trying to downgrade. But that's above my knowledge level.

Tried to use an RUU. Got a signature error of some sort. Can't remember the number. RN it is taking OTA updates smoothly. Now, it will either get to v4 eventually through the OTA updates, or it will cut off at the top of v3 (in which case I have done something horribly wrong). I will try to flash RUU after I get v4 through OTA, just for fun and for the sake of the community
Edit 1: v4 finally showed up through OTA. 2GB Downloading currently. Will still RUU to double check compatibility. Will post back with success or not.
Edit 2: v4 was successful, device convered to HIMAULATT. Now flashing the Dev RUU, which works. It didn't work on v3. Therefor I was correct, and RUU v3 -> v4 isn't compatible.

Going from Marshmallow to Nougat is definitely possible (I've done it myself) - I'm not sure why your phone gave you such troubles. But in any case, I'm glad your phone is fully updated! Congratulations.
