Rooted M8, now trying to unroot so I can get updates.

Hey all
Just bought a M8 and I wanted to root if for a few apps I use, however I didn't know that by putting a custom recovery mod I would not be able to update my phone. So I am trying my best to get it back to stock however I can not find a RUU that matches my CID. Could someone please help me find a way to get my phone back to stock so I can get updates with no problems.
-Cheers
P.S: Lesson learnt, always back up your phone before attempting this bull**** -.-, miss my s4. Could find anything I needed on that thing.

I have a posted a link to a backup on mega. Search me.

You don't need to unroot to get updates. If you're s-off just flash a stock recovery. If your s-on flash a stock recovery and relock the boot loader. Takes about 2 mins to do either.

Like I already said all you need do is flash one of the stock recoveries from this thread, use whichever you had originally for your CID.

You can't ota with a custom recovery.

I love ViperROM and would never want to go back. They are very good about getting updates out pretty quick. So not long after an official OTA comes I think Viper is quick on it. I believe we already had one for the M8. My friend has tried a few roms and thinks Viper is the best.

Hey man, I wouldn't of asked this question if I could simply find one to match. On that thread I can not find a single one that matches my phone.

no idea, anyway to find out?

I just looked at the software version of my phone under About and downloaded the matching recovery. Then I flashed the recovery, installed the OTA update, and reflashed TWRP after.

Did you read anything on the stock backup page?
As long as the base number is the same then you should be able to flash a recovery that matches. You have software version 1.54.708.5 so just flash one that begins with 1.54.
The nearest is:
STOCK RECOVERY 1.54.707.5
Nothing will happen so just go ahead and try it.
Here's the OTA, but it won't install unless you already have the stock OS installed.

Version-main is empty as a result of flashing a buggy TWRP and CID is superCID thus hard to tell. MID would fit for 154.401 as well as 2.22.401 recovery. To be sure a question. Are you still running stock ROM. If yes you could check setting > about phone > software information > software number. If you are running a custom ROM this information is likely not to be valid. o2 Germany stock ROM e.g. has a x.xx.207.xx version number

Hi
I am running Android Revolution HD.

If you flash Philz Recovery, you will at least be able to get your version-main back and then you'll be able to look for that version in the Stock Recovery Section.
You CID should probably either be O2___001 or O2___002..

Hi John
Can i install Philz alongside TWRP?
Also i downloaded Build prop editor and under "ro.aa.cidlist" has the following cid numbers
htc 001
htc e11
htc 102
htc 203
htc 405
etc. Are they relevant?

Philz will overwrite TWRP as you can only run one recovery at a time.
This list names CID of different carriers.

Will flash Philz shortly and hopefully that will provide me with Main version. However one last question. Will the Harman & Kardon prevent me from going back to stock?

How long ago did you get the phone, and have you done any OTA updates since you've had it.
If you bought it before March/April (ish) and haven't done any updates then it's likely that you're on the 1.12.206.17 version.
If you've done an OTA since then you'll probably be on 1.54.206.5... in which case try this, this is the stock recovery for 1.54.206.5..
There are Backups for both versions in the Stock Backups Page.
This is for the 1.12.206.17
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_9hxg3el0DpN2xpbkx6NGkwRE0/edit?pli=1
And this is for the 1.54.206.5
https://mega.co.nz/#F!odoimZRD!fXWN36-1i3AUdkAHcgfy_A
I'm not trying to mess you about, honest, but you'll to go back to TWRP to use them. :angel:

Definitely had ota since getting phone. Only rooted in the last 10 days. Thanks for all your help. Will use 154..... If I decide too.

HBOOT 3.18 ? You updated the OTA to latest 4.4.3?
If so then you're fresh out of luck, I don't see any 2.xx.206/207.x stock recoveries for O2(UK/German) devices. Even on the German forum they only have the 1.54.206.5/10 ones.
Only choices you have then is to either:
1) convert - Seeing as you are S-OFF
2) roll back to older version and go through update again this time taking a backup of stock recovery. Flash old Firmware, you can probably get tutorials on here somewhere on how to do it.
3) scout the mobile phone boards(locally) and see if someone can drop you a stock recovery or
4) Wait until someone uploads a stock recovery.
In order to provide these stock recoveries, we need people to upload them and share the links and as you can see, guys like you don't do it! So we're stuck with no backups to share with guys in similar position like yourself
Good Luck!

I take it they rolled out the latest 4.4.3 for the customers. Honestly I wasn't keeping tabs on whether they rolled or not. I just saw the HBOOT version and thought that he might have updated to 4.4.3 because as far as I know it only changed to 3.18 with 4.4.3 before then it was 3.16. I could be wrong though?
I suppose if the OP didn't flash any custom ROMs etc he could just go to settings > about > software information, and confirm either way

He's already on Android Revolution HD.
There's a link to the 1.54.206.5 firmware on the Android Revolution Site, but would it work with the wrong version-main in the android-info.txt
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/206/
I think the way I got my version-main back, was to flash a different version stock recovery, it wouldn't work because it was the wrong version number, it just kept dropping back to HBoot, but it did bring it back when I then reflashed CWM / Philz.

What I meant was.. You probably had the right recovery or at least knew what one you needed.
It's a similar situation to one that I was in the other day. I had no version-main, so I didn't know which recovery to flash. So I took a guess and flashed a stock recovery for my device, it didn't work because it was the wrong one, but it did give me my version-main back in getvar all.
I then flashed back to Philz Recovery because I had no recovery. Once I knew the version main, I managed to find the recovery... :good:
...John...

To confirm I am on 4.4.3. I will see what comes along in near future. Should of read a few more posts before rooting.. Again help appreciated.

Hi Rlumby.
I was just wondering why you want to return to the stock recovery. Do you need to to send it back, so you need to return it back to it's original condition or do you want to keep it open for OTA's, etc...
Since you are S-Off and SuperCID, I don't see any reason why you couldn't flash another carriers firmware, or like BerndM14 said, maybe convert it to a Developer Edition or a GPE Edition.. It will wipe everything so if you do go down this road, make sure you back everything up first...
...John...

Hi John.
It was just an option should I choose to. Now you mention it I may go for developer edition. Will check out what's out there.

[Q] Go back to stock

Hi there.
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I want to go back to stock recovery to perform an OTA (4.4.4). I'm currently using ViperOne m8 2.5. My Cid is called HTC_Y13. But I couldn't find it anywhere.
What to do?
I'm Danish by the way. My phone is a One M8 and I believe it's the international model..

here's the steps to get you back to stock
download this > https://mega.co.nz/#!VcZAgIgT!flJca5C_hRl6pgAn5EXp4qbJCl0ONjZB8PHNylw5f3Y
while it's downloading go into TWRP and choose Backup
uncheck everything except boot ... do the backup
this will create a folder on your sdcard TWRP/BACKUPS/your_Serial_no/Todays date
when the download is complete extract it to the Todays date folder. Make sure it's just files in the folder and no folders
now boot back to TWRP and choose restore and restore the backup / make sure system and boot are checked.
the last step is to put back the stock recovery
use this one > http://d-h.st/WB4
you flash it the same as TWRP
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
your phone should now be back to stock and ready for OTA update

COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Your CID is HTC__Y13 you can download any x.xx.401.x backup from that thread.
The WWE (World Wide English) nandroid backups have the same main version build numbers. All these nands have the main number that is based on the x.xx.401.xx build and all these CIDS are compatible
HTC__001
HTC__E11
HTC__102
HTC__203
HTC__405
HTC__Y13 <<<THERE IS YOUR CID
HTC__304
HTC__A07
HTC__002
HTC__016
HTC__032
HTC__J15
HTC__M27
HTC__A48
HTC__K18
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download any x.xx.401.x backup (HTC__001 will be fine) and backup through correct custom recovery(Philz if it was Philz, TWRP if it was a TWRP created backup).
You can also download any x.xx.401.x stock recovery for your device OR you can grab the latest stock recovery from the OTA(Copy OTA.zip to your PC and extract the recovery.img file inside the firmware.zip).

I'm also a little bit confuse with all information. I've been tryng to solve my ROM problem about 2 days.
I have flashed the ARHD 21.0 on my phone but a lot of errors are happening (common ones like no Wi-fi and other more annoying like extended reboot time). I'm trying to get back to the stock ROM to perform a update of my firmware but I'm kind of very lost in the forum.

No I guess your phone is an International version, not because you're Brazillian but because your CID says "HTC__001" which is International. Like You no doubt read in the 2 posts just above yours, download a nandroid backup for your device and restore it via the correct custom recovery. I even put a link to the thread with the nandroid collection in my first post here!!!
Just download the nandroid for your device, it'll be the 1.54.401.x backup seeing as you're still on the 3.16bootloader. 3.18 was 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 is 3.19 so you're probably still on 1.54.401.x. Download the 1.54.401 backup and restore in custom recovery. Afterwards just flash back the stock recovery.img
Make sure recovery.img is in your adb folder and boot into bootloader and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <That'll give you stock recovery again and you can reboot back into OS and download/install and update the OTA/Firmware as it comes all the way to 3.28.401.6/7

Sorry man, but I did. I read the post before mine. But I like I said, I'm trying to do this about 2 days and everything went wrong, so I thought that the version HTC__Y13 could have a different procedure that HTC__001.
I'm not the kind of user that thinks the problem is just happening to him. I read a lot of things but seems that more I read, more doubt I get.
Anyway, thank you very much for the fast answer. I will try what you said. :good:
Just one doubt. My ROM is 4.4.4 and my bootloader is 3.16. Is this wrong?

Yes, the 4.4.4 ROM MUST have 3.28.xxx.x firmware in order to function properly. You're still on much older firmware which is why you have excessively long boot up times, wifi/data problems(Outdated radio) etc. In order for the ARHD 21.0 to work correctly you must be on the correct firmware(4.4.4 android version, 3.28.401.6/7 <<<If you're international version which you are). This has been the case for some time now, you can do an easy google search "htc one m8 xda ..." along with something like "slow boot up" etc and you'll see that all of them had the same problems, outdated firmware.
Which is why you'll have to go back to stock and do the OTA updates as it comes. If you were S-OFF you could have done it manually and flashed the firmware manually but since you're S-ON you can't do it. Flashing Radio firmware you'll need to either be a) S-OFF or b) Official HTC OTA.

Thanks man! I'm now on 3.28.401.6.
Before your post, I hadn't understood that I needed restore from 1.54.401.x backup (I almost restore 3.28.401.7).
Firewater didn't work in my device, so I have to pay $25 to be S-OFF (and $25 is a lot of money when converting to reais - currency of Brazil)
I will come back tomorrow to give you Thanks (reach my max today).
PS: The 3.28.401.7 update didn't arrive to my device.

Confused!!!
I'm really confused!! I'm not that hardcore at all..
All i want is to update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 so I can Update from ViperOne 2.5 to 3.0.
I tried to flash a Stock Recovery called "stock_recovery_1.54.401.5_recovery.img" and I think it succeeded. Hard to see a difference. But I followed a guide made by Sakitech on Youtube. Then I searched for any updates. But it said "No update currently available". So I just flashed the custom Recovery again.
Sorry.. But I'm a Dummy

I am having some major issues too. Im just wanting to go back to stock so I can use sunshine to S-off my phone. My CID is ORANG001 so i got a nandroid backup 1.54.61.5 which is the correct stock and the corresponding stock recovery, all went well but not only does Sunshine still refuse to work, if i take any OTA updates, the first installs ok but then my wifi wont work, ie the switch will not turn green it just goes grey, any ideas!!?!!?

I think I can help you. After all my mistakes, I think I have learn something.
To update to 4.4.4 (and for ViperOne 3.0) you need to update your firmware first. To do that, you have 3 options:
1) S-OFF and update your firmware by flashing a simple file.
2) S-ON and search your EXACTLY modelid and cidnum on this thread
3) -That one BerndM14 help me in previous posts - Check your firmware and return your phone (ROM and Recovery) to stock basing on firmware version. This post explain better.
Like BerndM14 said to you, it is just necessary you to download any x.xx.401.x backup AND any x.xx.401.x stock recovery. After that, follow the instructions of the second question of the post. You will unzip the backup and inside, find a file called 'boot.emmc.win' or 'boot.win'. You have to flash this (fastboot), do a full wipe and then restore the backup (custom recovery). After all you return to bootloader (rebooting) and flash the recovery with this:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryName>
That it. At least, what I understand. Any advanced user could confirm this informations?

I think I got a Little closer now. Let med undrstand this S-OFF right. Does that make everything a lot easier??
I tried flashing Again yesterday, but without any luck. I downloaded a major stock backup zip file, but I'm not sure how to flash it. I wish I could Just hand it over to someone, but I vant find anyone here in Denmark who is cabable at doing this. ?.
I think The biggest problem is that i dont know where, when and what to flash ?

I think S-OFF let the things much more easier. My m8 is S-ON so I don't know a lot of this, but there is some tutorial about firewater. If this tool doesn't work for you (like happen to me), you will have to pay $25 for Sunshine. From what I read, this method is guaranteed to get S-OFF.
With S-OFF, you will find some posts with updates of the firmware. So you don't have to go back to stock to update it.
To continue from where you stop, you have to follow this post. Like I said before, download any x.xx.401.x backup AND any x.xx.401.x stock recovery and follow the instructions of "How do i restore the stock nandroid backup" question (same post).
You don't flash the major stock backup zip file. You RESTORE it, on your custom recovery (TWRP or Philz) according from which recovery the backup was made (for example, if you download this one: 1.54.401.5 - TWRP Thanks to Fisha21. This backup was made on TWRP so you have to restore it on TWRP. But before restore, you need to flash the "boot.img or boot.emmc.win" file that is INSIDE this backup zip file. After that you make a full wipe in recovery and then RESTORE the major backup (remember, you don't restore the zip file, you have to unzip it on your phone like is said on the "How do i restore the stock nandroid backup" question of the post).
After all, you will flash the recovery of the same version that you download on the same post.

You looked your firmware version, befere restore the 1.54.61.5 version? You have to check the CID AND the main version of your phone, like it said on the beggining of the post:

My main version number is 2.26.61.5 I think but I asked weather using 1.54.61.5 would be OK and was told it would be fine as its *.**.61.* based backup. Is this incorrect as they use a different firmware base?? Is this whats causing my issues??

I Flashed a file named boot.emmc.win from inside the unzipped backup. I moved the file to my adb_fastboot folder and flashed it this way: fastboot flash recovery boot.emmc.win
Then I had trouble gaining access to custom recovery (TWRP) so I tried flashing the custom recovery again. I got in! Made a full wipe, chose "install", twrp > BACKUPS > Serialnumber > Backup.zip. But it failed!!!!! It was missing a md5 file???
I'm starting to regret all this root-mess

Help with Updated to Sense 4.4.4?

I'm keen to grab one of the new 4.4.4 Sense-based ROMs (insertcoin or viper), but it would seem that I need to somehow update my firmware.
Problem is, I can't figure out how to do it on my device. I tried using Firewater, but it gives me a 'whelp' messsage and can't S-OFF me, and I can't find an updated version of my firmware to flash.
Can anyone help me? I'm a little lost now I think. I'm using an NZ Vodafone M8, getvar is below. I'm currently running VanirAOSP and TWRP recovery.

Use Sunshine to get s-off. You have to pay $25, but it's worth it. Then you can go SuperCID and flash firmware from any GSM carrier.

Is there anything else I can do? Is there some way to roll back to stock and update that way?

If your already using a 4.4.4 ROM than Sunshine won't work .what you need to do is flash back to complete stock with stock kernel along with root and run Sunshine again

My bad on the first link I was driving and shouldn't have even been looking at my phone.have you made any backups of Roms ever?
You need the the backup directory in your file manager so you can place the extracted backup file in it.
If you don't have the any backup of any ROM than boot to your custom recovery and make a backup of the ROM your on now .when backup completes than reboot to your regular system and go into your root browser so you can place extracted backup file in backup folder .
Boot to recovery again and make sure the backup exists when you tap restore,if you have two backups and you notice the one you placed is one of them than you should be good , restore the backup like you would any other backup

You still have KitKat firmware, as shown by your OS version. You CANNOT flash a modified firmware package while S-On. You need to either run a signed RUU, or go back to stock and use HTC's/your carrier's OTA updates.

Do you have a stock ruu? or maybe how to s-off? because i cant find anywhere firewater.

What firmware did you try to flash? It looks like it was GPE firmware.
Is your bootloader screen black or white now?

My bootloader screen it's black, it's that important?...
And the firmware was download from HDRevolution website.

Yup, that's very important. Black hboot screen is the GPE version (and white is Sense version hboot). You at least partially flashed a GPE firmware. This isn't supposed to happen with s-on (firmware for other versions should be blocked). But I do remember a while back, a few folks having the same issue; where a GPE firmware or RUU partially flashed (with s-on) and caused some problems.

That doesn't help. Quite a few firmwares are posted there. What specific number firmware did you flash? Did you flash the firmware number (3.11.1700.5) shown OS number on your hboot screen?

I don't know why you flashed this. Not only is it not current firmware (Kitkat, as another noted before), but its not even for your version (its GPE version firmware, as I mentioned).

That from the official page, this one:
"RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_ATT[email protected]_40.45.C33065.00_F_release_446225_signed_2"

That is the proper RUU for the AT&T version; and your bootloader is relocked, as it should be for RUU.
So I think the problem is the GPE firmware you flashed before.
Try flashing the proper firmware first, then RUU again, and hopefully that will work.
I can't find the 4.28.502.2 firmware. But 4.28.502.1 firmware is posted on the following. Use the Full stock firmware. Hopefully, this is close enough to 4.28.502.2 to work.
EDIT: Forgot to post the firmware link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aNd_nm4Em1wamRLFT7qHM2c3O9_sg_H3ztBrGq1u9Ws/pubhtml

That RUU will not work, anyway. Its for the Developer Edition, so the only way to run it would be to change your CID (s-off required, and working OS is needed to s-off).

or maybe how to s-off? because i cant find anywhere firewater.

Firewater was discontinued by its devs in December 2014. Since it has an online component (needed to connect to servers), it won't work even if you find the firewater binary.
Sunshine is the only current working s-off method, and as I mentioned, it requires a working OS to work.

I flash that firmware because have my cidnum and modelid, and i read that the firmware need to have the same cidnum and modelid.

Where can i find this firmware?
And i didn't know that firewater doesnt work anymore, and sunshine i think you have to pay 25$ per month, right?

Yes, firmware needs to have the same CID and MID. But the 3.11.1700.5 firmware doesn't go with your CID and MID (CWS__001 and 0P6B12000)
"1700" firmwares (such as 3.11.1700.5) are for the Google Play Edition (GPE) with CID of GOOGL001 and MID of 0P6B17000.
Proper firmwares for your AT&T CID and MID will have the number "502" in the position x.xx.502.x

Sorry, forgot to post the link. I had the page open, and everything: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aNd_nm4Em1wamRLFT7qHM2c3O9_sg_H3ztBrGq1u9Ws/pubhtml

That's right. And as I already stated, sunshine requires a working OS, which you don't have. And since getting the OS working again seems to be the main reason you want to get s-off, you see its quite pointless.

No problem And to flash this firmware i can do it like this:
f you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

You used the "full stock" firmware 4.28.502.1, correct? Not the "Combined, No wipe" one?
You can also try the 3.42.502.1 firmware.

Those might be unsigned firmwares, but I thought they were signed.
I think your options at this point:
1) Find signed firmwares of the versions I recommended.
2) Unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP again, then flash a 3.xx based custom or stock ROM (which will have working WiFi). Then s-off by sunshine so you can fix the firmware (will allow an unsigned firmware to be flashed).
Another thing to note, when you flashed the GPE firmware, it reverted the recovery back to stock recovery. Which is why you no longer have custom recovery.

Unlock the bootloader by HTCDev.com. Then flash TWRP with fastboot.
