[Q] efs and IMEI messed up, HOX endeavoru

Hello! I've tried various places but can't find a soloution so:
I successfully rooted and flashed my HTC Once X International with AOKP ICJ 4.2.2 a while ago. Few months later, I decided to try the ViperX rom but ran into some problems. After wiping, flashing the boot.img with the Venom Flasher and successfully installing the new rom, I had no service and was "stuck" in Airplane mode. I found out that my IMEI is blank and that my efs folder is also gone. I have a stock root nandroid backup but it does me no good with the missing efs folder and IMEI. I am using TWRP v2.4.0.0. since that's the only version that gave me touch control. I have no backup of the efs folder as I was not even aware of it's existence until today.
I am really sorry if this question has been answered before but I could not find a solution no matter how hard I searched. What do?

Here is some information.

I am considering installing a RUU, but I cannot find the correct one. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I checked androidruu.com but the one with the correct baseband for europe wouldn't install.

Ruu doesn't exist, only backups.....

So that means, since I didnt't copy my efs folder I'm screwed and stuck with a non-connecting HOX?

Probably yes. Flash back the stock rom, and flash the boot.img. if it still doesn't connect there is pretty much nothing you can do

Thank you very much! The odexed rom is giving me an error though, I can't download it :crying:

Thank you so much Thant. I flashed the custom recovery and kernel onto my stock JB root backup and it works, I have signal. I can't thank you enough, you deserve more. Also thank you Mr Hofs as you suggested this.

First, make sure your phone has same cid, otherwise flashing incorrect rom will cause more problem.
The steps are as follow:
- Identify your cid and find the correct stock rom (latest update)
- Unlock bootloader
- Flash custom recovery (twrp, cwm, philz)
- Boot to recovery > Mount sd card and copy rom (zip file) to sd card
- Flash stock rom and boot.img (follow rom instruction carefully)
- Reboot and it should work.
If you dont know any of the above steps, please search the forum for details. You can also raise question here, I and others will try to help at soonest.

You can find STOCK ROM, Boot image, Recovery 3.20.401.1 for your CID at Thant's link as quoted below.
Install a custom recovery (philz or twrp or cwm) and proceed with flashing stock rom.

Please help .might really be bricked

I unlocked and installed twrp and 4.4.3 gpe rom on an att m8. Then tried to update to 4.4.4 and my phone went into bootloop. I booted to bootloader and now its a black screen and hboot 3.18.0.0000. Now when I try to load recovery , the twrp image comes up blinks a couple times and goes into boot loop. I've tried reflashing recovery but it doesn't seem to help.
I cant seem to get anything to work. All I can do is play around with the bootloader and fastboot

this totally sucks

First of all delete your serial and IMEI asap. And try this fastboot command :
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery

failed remote not allowed
any other ideas

Failed remote not allowed is in most cases an indication that the bootloader is locked/relocked

First unlock your phone . Download a compatible kernel for your att m8 4.4.x.
Extract kernel.zip and flash boot.img with adb in fastboot.

If cwm Philz is working take another Rom and flash it...what's the problem? Or all recoveries are broken? There are also complete stock Roms take one of them root it and s-off...if Firewater doesn't work use sunshine, it's really worth it to pay 25$ if you say that phone is going into garbage...means you want to buy another one...except try to s-off it and yea...also if you want to update the Rom via official ota you need always the stock recovery otherwise it will never work...

philz works for 8 seconds then bootloops and twrp just blinks then bootloops. I cant flash any rom so their is no chance of firewater or sunshine. thanks for the 25$ offer but I think ill call htc and pay to have the motherboard replaced or just smash it to pieces and buy another phone.
Is their any way of changing the cid without s-off? I think I remember getting supercid on the m7 without s-off

No other way...but you can try something.....I think there are different twrp or Philz images because of the different variants of the phone...so try to get the real one for your device..maybe that should be the problem...if not try fastboot erase cache ..but I think it's more because of the wrong image..
All those things are user issues so no need to bash HTC or the phone because you are doing things wrong

I 100% agree with you that it is completely my fault and not HTC. Im not bashing HTC at all, I'm going to buy another m8. Smashing would just make me happy after spending 9 hours so far trying every possibility over and over.
It is totally bricked though. I had another m8 before this phone and upgraded the same way but it was s-off and I didn't have this problem. Firewater didn't work on this phone. The problem is that something is corrupted and their is no correct ruu for 3.18 hboot with CWS__001.

[Q] Get back to stock M8 VODAP110 - Having massive problems

Good morning guys.
I am wondering if anyone is able to help me before i go completely nuts trying to work this out. (I also hope its ok to make a new thread)
A few weeks ago i rooted my M8 following the steps on this website (htconeroot. - how-to-root-htc-one-m8/) with no issues at all. Unlocked the boot loader and also there is the software tag saying modified (my understanding is this is normal). Installed the custom recovery with no drama.
A couple of days ago i got the OTA notification that i can now download 5.0.1 (Happy days) however this is where i seem to be running into problems. I know that i need to revert to the stock recovery from TWRP and then from here need to relock the boot loader to install the OTA update. I think my main problem is that i don't know what version of the stock rom i need to install. I have tried a few but none of them will boot into recovery from the boot loader.
So this is where i am.
Boot loader works fine and will run fast boot and boot to custom recovery - does state that the OS - (Blank)

The last stock recovery that i put on the phone was (3.29.161.5 recovery.img) this then would allow me to start the phone and run the OTA update. From here the phone will restart and start the update but after about 20/25% the phone will crash displaying a picture of the phone with a red triangle and upside down exclamation mark. I read somewhere that if this problem happens to erase the cache and it should fix the problem but it didn't.
Could anyone please point me in the correct direction or help me solve the problem i am having.
Do i need to ?????
1) install the correct stock recovery (if so could someone please help me find the correct version)
2) Flash the stock rom from HTCDev (no clue how to do this with fast boot and if it will restore the recovery)
3) Give up on OTA and look for a custom 5.0.1 flash and use TWRP to flash from recovery.
Thanks so much for any help.

Maybe this one works? This is the 3.29.161.9 recovery. It's from my VODAPE17 cid

1: download the ota, take out the firmware.zip and in that zip is a recovery.img. that is your correct stock recovery that you need.
2: go to the general section - collection of backups and firmwares. Have a read there and look for your cid in the list with backups.
Please do not relock the bootloader that is not needed for an ota !
And delete your serial !

I was forgotten to paste the url: https://mega.co.nz/#!nZkCWZAL!djqZnzAlVfHslzWJxUxvW5cLKHdI9BIhr_uxzjFxbng

I also have this Problem with my M8 (3.29.166.9). I also flashed the new recovery from the OTA, but when i flashed the OTA, the recovery wrote Status 7 error ...
New download of the OTA doesn't worked..
Any Idea ?

Hi onkel.
the process i went through was as follows.
1) force download the OTA from swisscom and copy off to computer.
2) do what Mr Hofs said above and extract the ROM and dig out the recovery.img
3) reset with fast boot - (fastboot reboot-bootloader)
4) flash recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5) fastboot erase cache
6) fastboot reboot
7) install OTA from within booted OS
8) wait.......
Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem guys.
@Mr Hofs if you would like the OTA update or recovery.mg please let me know.

Back to stock problem
Hello,i have a similar problem. I did everthing as you,rooted,custom recovery and unlock bootloader on htcdev,all to try out custom roms like arhd and so on. But i didn't do a nandroid backup,because i'm a fool and didn't know what i was doing. When i wanted to go back to stock i tried flashing 3.29.161.9 as it's similar to our stock rom but had no luck,still no updates. When i go to fastboot my os says os-3.29.166.9,so clearly there lies i problem. i need i stock 3.29.166.9 nandroid backup so i can go to stock. i've downloaded the recovery you uploaded and put it in 3.29.161.9 rom but no luck. So can you please upload a 3.29.166.9 nandrod backup. Thanks in advance. And mister Petert87 and Mr Hofs if you have any idea how to solve my problem please tell can you tell me. Cheers guys

No luck dude,no one who has the vodap110 cid is willing to post a nandroid backup. I've been searching for months

Did you not have backups for x.xx.166.x, or am I mistaken?

Are you running a rooted stock ROM when your phone now not working ? If yes, can you install TWRP recovery and make backup of the system part only. Then upload it for me, I'll try to fix it. I've done this many times with other rare ROM like WIND, Taiwan version, Optus, Telstra and many more.
If possible, just PM me the link.. this is the only way that I can help you and @dexterts

Did you not have backups for x.xx.166.x, or am I mistaken?

No. I don't have because I can't find any version nandroid for x.xx.166.x anywhere out of XDA
That's why I'm asking these guys to help them
And if that @raynordg guy respond to notification ... he can help too. He was scared about his data on nandroid backup ... system partition has no user data.

Are you running a rooted stock ROM when your phone now not working ? If yes, can you install TWRP recovery and make backup of the system part only. Then upload it for me, I'll try to fix it. I've done this many times with other rare ROM like WIND, Taiwan version, Optus, Telstra and many more.
If possible, just PM me the link.. this is the only way that I can help you and @dexterts

Yes ... change CID and flash EU WWE RUU if you want it on .401
If only firmware, you can restore a EU WWE backup and do OTA .. but for now only lollipop the latest and there's already lollipop RUU, you can check EddyOS thread for RUU method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235

[Q] HTC M8 Wifi problems on several Roms -HELP!

I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I have.
My htc M8 was rooted and insertcoin was flashed onto it however the wifi button greyed out and wouldnt turn on in order to s-off it. I tried several different roms and they all have the same problem. I am currently running skydragon v5. I have been trying to sort this phone out for a week and I am getting absolutely nowhere so any help would be appreciated. It's on ORANG001 and is s-on.
Thanks

You have old firmware. You need to have 4.19.61.2 on ORANG001 in order to have wifi on these ROM.
And you post this in wrong section.

Apologies, new to the forum it's been moved now!

Yeah .. requested it to be moved to correct section.
So .. you need to restore your stock ROM and do OTA up to 4.19.61.2
What's your current firmware version .. 3.33.61.9 or 2.26.61.1 ? Or even lower ?
Check what's written on bootloader - hboot 3.16 or 3.18 .. you need 3.19

That's a very low version ... you need to restore to stock backup 1.54.61.5
But I deleted my TWRP backup for most 1.xx.xxx.x only keep 2.x; 3x & 4x
There is someone else backup made with Philz recovery so you need to download Philz recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
then download the backup : https://mega.co.nz/#!WhwRmSoJ!QJxmI0gYj7t_0Hc4fMKx0XLYQ2n45S3OfrEcDRS3C-s
restore that backup with the stock recovery (included in that backup if I'm not wrong)
then do multiple OTA

Okay cheers for your help!

I was trying to adb push the firmware to my phone to then install it on Recovery but when im typing "adb devices" it says list of devices attached then it is blank. I have been trying to search for solutions but I cant seem to fix it. If you have any advice it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone got an idea?

This is usually an issue on the computer's side (PC?). Try to re-install HTC drivers, try another USB port, or another cable. Also, if you have USB 3.0, this is known to cause issues with adb connectivity (apparently, you can disable this).
Also, you need to be booted into OS or in recovery for adb to work (does not work in bootloader) and you need to have USB debugging activated in Settings.
And when you say "firmware" I think you mean a nandroid backup, based on the instructions previously given to you? Be careful using the term "firmware" here, as most folks use that term to specifically mean the firmware.zip that contains hboot, radio etc. (but not ROM).

Don't you have a MicroSD ? Put the extracted nandroid on MicroSD at the right location clockworkmod\backups\ is easier than doing that ADB push.

Okay finally got the nandroid backup installed. Then when i tried to install the OTA update it took me to CWM and failed. So i then relocked and tried again to update OTA and it took me to the bootloader with a ***Relocked*** and *** Security Warning*** any ideas ?

You need to re-install the stock recovery in order to OTA. Bootloader lock has nothing to do with it (will OTA with unlocked bootloader).

I have installed the Nandroid backup mentioned above to stock i believe. Is this the correct step or is this still not stock ? it was 1.54.61.5
Thanks

Stock ROM backup and stock recovery are two different things.
You need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to replace the CWM that you have now. Inside the backup zip, there is a recovery.img .. take this out and fastboot flash it.
You need to unlock bootloader to flash it.

when using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using the recovery.img from the unzipped nandroid folder the process runs and it says okay with no errors then when i try go into recovery the red triangle and exclamation mark appear again

Yes that's stock recovery. Perform the ota now

Because that is stock recovery. You don't need to get into recovery.
Just reboot, check OTA, download then select install.
Let the system do the installation on its own

Do I need S-OFF to fix loss of radio after being a bit stupid?

So, 6 months ago in my eagerness to get Oreo I flashed an Oreo rom over my functional LeeDroid Nougat installation. I can't remember the details of exactly what I did, but I ended up with my SIM card being recognised (it prompts me for the SIM unlock PIN), but it won't connect to the mobile network - I guess that means the 'loss of radio' problem.
OK, so I didn't heed the warnings and I was stupid But now I really want to get my beloved HTC 10 working again.
I've tried restoring TWRP backups from https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297, then re-flashing stock recovery, but end up in a boot loop.
I've tried the RUU Zip method - both using htc_fastboot.exe from a windows PC and by copying onto SD card and installing via download mode, with all of the HTC__0034 RUU Zip's but in all cases end up with various RU_ errors (19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL, 12 RU_ZIP_ERROR, 9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL etc)
One thing I can't work out is if I will need to install (and pay) for the sunshine app to get my phone to S-OFF?
And if some kind person could help me out and tell me exactly which downloads I need I would be eternally grateful
Code:
(bootloader) kernel: lk
(bootloader) product: htc_pmeuhl
(bootloader) version: 1.0
(bootloader) max-download-size: 1578400000
(bootloader) serialno: xxxxxxxxx
(bootloader) slot-count: 0
(bootloader) current-slot:
(bootloader) imei: xxxxxxxxxxxx
(bootloader) version-main: 3.16.401.2

(bootloader) version-baseband: [email protected]
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
(bootloader) mid: 2PS620000
(bootloader) cid: HTC__034

This on definitely works. I know because it did for me.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569969175
I have the same cid, same firmware......flash by renaming it and via download mode.
2PS6IMG.zip is what to rename it to.

You don't need a stock recovery. It's flashed with the ruu. Not sure why you ask that?

Ahh... right. I asked because I really have no idea what I'm doing! A little knowledge is dangerous!
Am going to try flashing the RUU later this evening.

OK, so I successfully flashed the zip (thanks for the tip!), but I still don't get mobile network connection
I also tried flashing 2.41.401.41--3.16.401.2_S-On_firmware.zip as on this page: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75262137&postcount=1761 - which flashed successfully but same problem.
(BTW I do get an IMEI number in settings->about, but that's always been OK)
Any ideas?

If you flashed the ruu and it succeeded its all pure stock, flashing a firmware won't help as its done with the ruu.
You can try to erase the persist partition
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/solution-imei-signal-downgrade-oreo-8-0-t3748999
Otherwise :
- check the simcard
- maybe hardware failure somehow (not sure how)

Hmmm... tried erasing the persist partition, but still no joy
So, if what I understand is correct paying $25 for Sunshine to set my S-ON to OFF and trying to revert back to Nougat probably won't help me either?

Just thinking out loud, did you test the sim in another phone ? Just to confirm it works properly ?
There is a way to downgrade to nougat without s-off but it involves some knowledge about adb/fastboot and flashing several files. The guide is in the guides section. Have a read there.
