Firstly, I realise there have probably been a few of these threads so I apologise for opening another but I havent found the answers im looking for. What I'm trying to figure out is whether I can upgrade to the 2.22 firmware on my phone. It was purchased from three (in the UK) but I have rooted and flashed InsertCoin 3.0.5. As a result my firmware is currently 1.54.401.10 which isnt the three version which I believe would be .771 instead of .401. However, my mid is H3G__001 and cid is 06PB10000. What I'm confused about is that I have an unlocked firmware version (I think) but a branded mid. Does this mean I can flash new firmware or not?
From reading around I get the feeling that I might be able to upgrade if I have my mid in the android-info.txt file but I'm not sure whether I can just add this to the file for a firmware package I download
Although im a bit impatient to upgrade to the latest ROM i'm happy to hold out until a three firmware package is released but given i'm already on a custom ROM I wont receive the OTA so I dont know how that would work either. Can anyone help offer suggestions of what I need to do?
Before I begin and before anyone tells me I should read other threads, Id like to say that i HAVE already done that, and happened to find no proper solution.
So to the point: I had my HTC One M8 and flashed the GPE edition RUU but didn't like it, so i followed the thread linked on how to return to sense. that had my phone continuously crashing etc etc with all sorts of problems.
I then found another thread with a guide to flash a stock rom, then unroot, then flash firmware etc etc. I have successfully done that, but OTA updates have verification problems, it says that my phone is running something custom. When I boot into the bootloader, the OS section is also blank.
I have yet to find a full RUU for the International m8 as of posting, but there are ones out for at&t , t-mobile and sprint
So, my main question for all you experts out there: Is it possible to flash an at&t or tmobile ruu without having any problems, since international, at&t and tmobile are all the gsm versions? If not, is there any other possible way to return to stock, with bootloader locked, ota updates working?
My current phone status:
S-OFF, unlocked bootloader, (HTC__001 cid), european mid, stock recovery.
Any answers greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to update the baseband on my phone, however whenever I flash the firmware nothing happens. The phone start, but the baseband is the same 1.16.
I have an international phone, I think. I live in Canada.
This is a Rogers phone.
Running custom rom ARHD 11.1
S-OFF
The CID is ROGER001
And the HID is 0P6B16000
baseband 1.16
buildnumber 2.22.401.5
I've tried downloading the 2.22.401.5 firmware from VomerGuides, I updated the phone, but no change. I would really like help with this. Am I using the wrong update? I don't know what the latest update is anyways, but 2.22 seams like that's the one, so why is my baseband not updating?

CID : ROGER001
Update your Phone(Rogers) to the latest firmware first then update to the latest ARHD.
Firmware for your device and instructions on how to flash it can be found In this post by ckpv5
Note: It's the same post from ckpv5 that I got the backups from for the Rogers.
Thank you for your help. Do I follow all his steps from 1. Or just the firmware part? Since my phone is S-off and unlocked, or what ever it was, if I do everything from 1 will that brick my phone? Or will it be safe?
EDIT:
I followed all the instructions in the end. Ended up losing root. I had to unlock bootloader and get root back. so far, the phone is back up and running. Thank you for your help.

If you really followed the instructions correctly ... there is no instruction that say you need to relock bootloader :silly:
I'm very new to this, but SuperSU stopped working, it told me I lost root, and recovery (TWRP) was totally gone, at the time I did not know how to get that back ether, only after... Anyways, it was a good learning experience, I'm more glad the phone did not get bricked. Anyways thank you very much for your help.
EDIT:
How or where do you go to find out what the latest firmware is? I've tried looking everywhere, and if BerndM14 didn't point out your thread, I would have never found it.

[Discussion] HTC One M8 - Updates Can get some info about updates etc in that thread. Post 3 has a collection of OTA.zips but it's still a work in progress. You'll notice that the Rogers, Telus etc isn't on there, but it'll get there eventually. You can also just hop from that thread from time to time for general info about updates, firmware or otherwise.
[CANADA] HTC One M8 Canadian Users
[GUIDE] Return to stock for Canadian HTC One M8 (2014)
Some threads for Canadian users.
Another thread, even though it's actually for backups, a lot of people head over there for stock recoveries when new updates come out, so it's a nice one to get "on top" of news if you missed it in one of the other threads.
COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Thank you very much for pointing me to those threads. Time to figure out what some of there are used for...
Hi there,
This is my first thread here, so sorry if anything in this post is not correctly.
I got the following problem: I installed CM12.1 on my HTC One M8S (M8_QL_UL) but now i want to go back to stock. I bought the phone at Amazon (Germany) and it was sold as unbranded.
However when I tried to flash the stock firmware (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245) over Hboot it told me "wrong CID" and Large Image Fail.
Then I got myself the phone's CID and it came out that it was not the HTC Europe Version (I tried to install the Europe build with Android MM as I had that one before) but the T-Mobile-DE version.
So the problem is, that there is a firmware for the T-Mobile-DE one, but it is still Sense 6 with Lollipop and so I am not able to install that, since I already have had MM with sense 7 on that phone before.
Now I cannot find a MM build for the T-Mobile CID online.
Beside of that I created a Backup with TWRP before flashing CM12.1 but now TWRP does not recocnize that backup.
If possible I would prefer to install the Stock Rom "clean" because my backed up one was very buggy anyway.
So my question is, how can I get back to Stock? Is there any proper build to download? If not, is it possible to get S-Off for that phone, to change CID? Sunshine does not appear to be working for the M8S...
And if nothing like this works, how can I access my backup with TWRP?
Thank you so much, hopefully anyone could help me!
Cheers, Fietipaldi
Im in the same situation but for Vodafone. We need some updated RUUs on the site
Hi all,
I've been spending the last couple of days on these forums and google trying to resolve the issues I have been having nonstop since I decided to unlock and flash my HTC One M9 but I've run into a wall and don't know what else I can do to fix my phone. Stupidly I did not create a backup before flashing so I think I am up **** creek as I cannot install stock roms either. I've have been following the guides but having issues the whole time through with the M9 for some reason.
HTC One M9 - Telstra (Australia) S-ON
After lots of ****ing around I have successfully managed to Unlock, Install TWPR, Flash SuperSU, Flash Android Revolution custom rom. This has wiped all my IMEI/SIM settings etc. I managed to find the stock telstra RUU to got back to stock rom as this is how to fix this problem, except when I try to install I get errors saying 'Device id/information not found'
Does anyone have any similiar experiences or know of anyway to fix this? Any and all help is appreciated.
It's impossible to help without knowing your current firmware and the firmware of the RUU you wanted to flash.
Be aware that there is not "the stock telstra RUU". RUUs are always stock and normally HTC creates one for each firmware version of their phones. The catch is that they don't get distributed officially (unless they're made for US carriers) but leaked by insiders.
However, the problem with the IMEI is explained in the ReadMe thread.
