[Q] Firmware flashing 2.22.401.4 for HTC_044 CID

My M8 has the CID of HTC_044 and I would like to flash latest ROM. However it requires latest firmware, ie 2.22.401.4, I am wondering if it is safe to flash the firmware to my device being with different CID as the firmware's android-info does not contain my device CID.
I have S-OFF on my device, I am wondering if I change mt CID to supercid would allow my device to run the firmware without issue.
Thanks in advance.

Yep,if your phone is supercid,u can flash that firmware...

If your firmware for CID HTC__044 is 2.22.707.3, it is not necessary for you to flash another firmware to run a 2.22.401.4 ROM.
As long as the firmware is 2.22.xxx.x ... you're good to go.
Anyway it's up to you if you want to flash 2.22.401.4 firmware but your Radio will be the EU region if the firmware that you flash come with radio image. If you currently in Asia, it's best to keep 2.22.707.3 firmware

When we read firmware we look at x.xx.707.x not 2.22.7xx.x
You don't need 2.22.707.3 firmware if you already done the OTA update.
Please advise your current firmware that you have ... check what is written on the bootloader ... is it 1.54.707.7 or 2.22.707.3 ?
If it is 1.54.707.7 then you need to do OTA update.
If it is 2.22.707.3 then you're good to flash any ROM.

Couldn't check my firmware version as the OS field is empty in the bootloader.
Hboot: 3.16.0.0000
Radio: 1.16.2133156.UA10G
But I highly doubt my firmware is 2.22.707.3, I would think it is more likely to be 1.54.707.7 as I have rooted by phone before newer firmware roll out.
So can I use your firmware in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376&page=141
and flash it by using this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

Right ... your current hboot is 3.16 so it's 1.54.707.7
I suggest that you restore 1.54.707.7 stock Backup, flash back stock recovery and do the OTA (no need to relock bootloader or S-On .. OTA update work on unlocked bootloader and S-Off)
I don't post firmware on XDA. Those that I posted are recovery and stock backup.
If you insist to update firmware without OTA update .. that's you call. Someone maybe will guide you how to do it as I don't feel comfortable telling how to update firmware.

Great
Now you can flash any Sense 6 custom ROM that you like.
Only remember that you don't need to flash another firmware, your current one is good enough.. just flash ROM.

I am having the same issue - I have the HTC__044 and need new firmware to get the newest ROM.
I am S-On and CANT get S-off (s-off needed to flash firmware)...firewater does not work with my phone after multiple tries.
I tried getting Sunshine to work for s-off, but I need to be on a stock Sense ROM (I am on Viper 1.8) and don't have a stock backup. I can't find ANY stock ROM's online! Once I have supercid i was going to flash firmware, but without S off...I'm going nowhere (it seems)
anyone have an idea where I should start?

1. Restore nandroid backup 1.54.707.7
2. flash stock recovery 1.54.707.7
3. reboot and check for OTA
4. install OTA
5. done .. your ROM will be 4.4.3 - 2.22.707.3
6. flash any 4.4.3 custom ROM that you like if any
All above no need to relock bootloader or S-Off, it works on S-On
If you want to S-Off with sunshine, step 1 & 2 then sunshine
or after step 5 then sunshine (both way should work)

I'm still a little on the noob side with rooting/flashing..I am at work and don't have time to read much - i will go home and give it a go... I'm sure I will have lots of questions
A quick look at the site, i saw lots of recoveries but not very many stock ROMs. I mainly just need a plain/rooted stock Sense rom to run Sunshine. After which i can flash new firmware, then the new custom ROM i've been wanting. Also, does a nandroid HAVE to be HTC__044, or can it be any WWE cid? (like anything that's "HTC__xxx")?
Excuse my ignorance...trying to learn as much as possible

I just got my m8 from Tmobile today, and I am on firmware 157.531.7
I've checked several times for updated firmware, but always comes back nothing.
Am I stuck on this, or will it take awhile for the network to "see me" and send it?
not rooted, fully stock for now
thanks so much!

If your main purpose to restore to stock to get SunShine working, then any nandroid backup will do either HTC__044 or WWE. You don't really need a rooted stock as SunShine works on non-rooted ROM too.
As you said you're a noob, that is why I suggest to restore to 1.54.707.7 then OTA to 2.22.707.3 so you don't need to manually flash firmware to get other custom ROMs running flawlessly. It is not necessary to have 2.22.401.4 firmware but it is necessary to have a 2.22.xxx.x firmware for those custom ROMs, unless you're not in Asia.
As you can see in my sig, I'm on 2.22.707.3 firmware, I can run any ROM without problem.
Being a noob, you may make a stupid mistake when flashing firmware.

There is also by mike or so a stock Rom as a zip.
Flash it like a custom Rom Flash the stock kernel and better the recovery and do sunshine...easier then with getting nandroid backup etc

Hi One-M8-Master,
I've read quite a few of your posts & given that your moniker seems appropriate, I'm wondering if you might be able to help me?
I've posted this on another thread but haven't got very far as yet, so am hoping that you might be able to get me out of the stupid hole I've dug myself into :fingers-crossed:
It is quite a long description but if you don't fall asleep reading it, I'd really appreciate any help you might be able to give me.....Here goes:
"Hi Guys,
Now I know you're all already thinking that I didn't update my firmware before I flashed ARHD & now I'm getting all the problems that come along with not doing that......& you'd be correct....kind of. HOWEVER, as it turns out, I already seem to have it. Let me explain.
As you can see, I'm relatively new to all this but successfully unlocked, rooted & installed a custom ROM on my ASUS TF700T tablet, so I wanted to do it with my One M8. I always do loads of reading before I start anything (I even read the instructions for new games before I attempt to play them because I'm a bit weird like that!) but what happened on this occasion was that I did the reading, unlocked the phone, flashed TWRP, & rooted it but then ran into the problem that some people appear to have had when trying to s-off via the adb commands & Firewater, that is, my pc could see the phone but when I gave the reboot command, it told me it wasn't connected.
I then got into hours of reading to try & solve this issue, discovered that (without Sunlight) on some devices it just doesn't work once you've accepted the 'should we allow this pc to connect every time' message (which I NEVER normally say 'yes' to), unless you install the Android Studio & Java Develpers Kits, update your version of adb, & force the phone to ask again (which I did but it turned out that I already had the latest version of adb, so that route proved fruitless!). I actually missed a night's sleep trying to resolve the problem, so work wasn't good the next day! but I think it is here is where my problems started because I was so tired & frustrated that I just picked a ROM & flashed it. I had even read the warning about not flashing it if you didn't have the correct firmware but I think that being so tired, it didn't really sink in, or I'd forgotten about it by the time I just flashed the ROM.
By this point, I'd been sat in front of my pc for about 30 hours & needed to go to work but the phone was actually booting through to ARHD, so I was relatively happy in the knowledge that at least I hadn't bricked it! On starting to use the phone that evening, I noticed the long boot times & then that my Sense 6 Toolbox didn't seem to be making any changes, even if I rebooted the device, so I went back to the beginning of this thread & started reading again. Thus, I re-read the firmware warning & panicked (my 2nd mistake!), thinking that I was getting the problems because I hadn't updated the firmware (it still didn't occur to me to just check because I think I just assumed that I wouldn't have it). So.....I tried to restore my TWRP backup of the stock ROM that I made after I had unlocked/rooted, with the intention of reverting to the stock ROM, getting the OTA update & then re-flashing ARHD but despite TWRP telling me that the backup had been successful, the phone went into a bootloop back into TWRP. I solved this by re-flashing the ARHD ROM that I knew at least would get my phone out of the bootloop & back into KitKat, which it did. I then checked what version of the firmware I had & to my surprise, my Build Number in About\Software Information\More says "2.22.401.4 CL365360 release-keys", so it looks like I had the correct firmware version all along?
The above being the case, I'm now puzzled as to why I'm getting the problems that I'm getting with ARHD? Does anyone have any clues/answers that might get me out of this hole I've dug for myself & get my awesome One M8 working like it should?
I know I've caused this problem by doing things when I was too tired to think straight but I'm fresh as a daisy now (still fairly noobish but fresh ) & now I need your help to sort myself out. I would be so grateful for any help anyone can give me to get me back on track.
I hope all of that makes sense & thanks in advance."

@dan5001
The firmware you speak of is the displayed version main number of the flashed rom. It has no relation to your actual installed firmware. Check your bootloader and post here what it says. I bet it is still hboot 3.16 and if that's the case your firmware is not updated.

Hi.
This is my own fault but I'm getting really frustrated with it because I've probably spent a total of 40 hours on it so far
I tell you that because I know that I needed S-OFF & SUPER CID to be able to update my firmware, so I just thought "screw it" & I paid for Sunshine. I now have S-OFF & following Vomer's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
I now have S-OFF & SUPER CID. I thought that would be the end of my issues but it would appear not!
Looking at my bootloader, you are correct, HBOOT is 3.16.0.0000!
However, I've tried to upgrade this firmware by downloading what I think is the correct update .zip from the list at the bottom of the aforementioned Vomer's guide (v2.22.401.5 (Rename to firmware.zip after downloading)), renaming it as suggested, & then flashing it in TWRP but it just keeps telling me that the update has failed!
Do I have to do it using the adb commands on Vomers guide? I didn't think so but it's just not working??
I appreciate any help you can give me with this. Given that I've spent so long on this & have paid for Sunshine, you can see that I'm trying to help myself but I've still got rain!!
EDIT
Just a thought, I do still have ARHD v10.2 installed at the moment because even though it's not working properly without the correct firmware, it's the only ROM I've got at the moment, so it means I can use the M8 to a degree; would that cause the problem with upgrading the firmware?

Firmware flash can be done via fastboot commands, that's how i did it
Installed rom has no influence on the to flash firmware, try it via fastboot

Going back to stock

Just a quick question that I'm sure I know the answer to but want to double check first.
I want to return to stock firmware for OTA updates but im on ARHD 5.0 (4.4.2).
ROM version 1.54.401.5
My hboot in bootloader says HBOOT-3.16.0.000 and Radio 1.15.2133156.UA13G.
I've seen 2 guides on here for returning to stock. Can i use wither of them or is one better than the other? I dont have any nandroid or recovery backups that I did myself.

What was your original software version? Doesn't help going on ARHD's ROM version if you previously ran a Rogers Canadian version for example.
What was your CID? Software version prior to custom ROM?
More details then we can provide better help as well.

The original version would have been 4.4.2 as i bought it in June and installed ARHD pretty much straight away.
The CID is HTC_001
I havent installed any new kernals either.

Ok when I said version I meant 1.54.xxx.x etc but it's fine, HTC__001 would make it 1.54.401.5/10.
So go to the Collection thread(you posted link yourself in OP) and download the backup for the HTC__001 1.54.401.10. Restore the backup, flash back stock recovery(also available on that thread) and you're good for OTA.
Flash back stock recovery -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But you can also get the details on how to flash and where to unpack the backup .zip file you'll download in the first 2 posts of the collection thread. :good:

Sorry yes i was originally on 1.54.401.5 but then did an OTA to 1.154.401.10 before installing ARHD. Can I just flash the nandroid for 1.154.401.10 then and it will work?
Will I still be rooted If i restore the nandroid and stock recovery or will that depend if the uploader rooted it first? as i want root and keep unlocked bootloader but want stock firmware with OTA updates.

In general the nandroid backups aren't rooted, as they try to recover the original stock ROM. Thus you will loose root be going back to stock. I would do the following:
restore nandroid 1.54.401.10
flash 1.54.401.10 stock recovery
perform ota to 2.22.401.5
flash custom recovery (e.g. TWRP)
flash SuperSu zip
Following that way, you'll get your M8 updated to latest stock ROM and regain root.

Sorry mate,

Did you try to perform the OTA before or after reflashing the custom recovery?

Help with HTC ONE x back to stock

Hey guys, I just got a one x of ebay. The phone is currently running a very buggy cyanogenmod version m12. android 4.4.4. baseband 5.1204.167.31 it is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. I have tried loads of different stock roms and ruu files without any joy. I wish I just bought a stock version of this phone as the seller sold it as working but a "test" build so I have no comeback.
Any help would be fantastic thanks

What CID you have? You can find stock version of bootloader, recovery and rom at mike1986 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=25113. Then you can download and install OTA to 4.18.401.4. There's also deodexed version of that OTA somewhere in forum.

Hey lesmil, CID is hg3_001 (hg3_uk)

Well, latest nandroid backup for your CID is 3.14.771.34 https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6Nhau4n1i__NWN6VTQxcWgzbkk/edit?usp=sharing (CID H3G__001), which is too old ^^. And what's h-boot version? 1.72.0000 ? If so, download those stock files from my previous post and go ahead with them.
If you are going to use this Stock ROM version, download Philz Touch recovery 5.15.9 http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00073/Hue/philz_touch_5.15.9-endeavoru.zip. Newer versions are for KitKats.
Use stock boot.img and stock rom (original OTA 4.18.401.4 for odexed stock is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52644588&postcount=935; deodexex OTA for deodexed stock is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754344. Flash OTA thru philz touch recovery. I guess you want to use root, that's why I am mentioning philz touch recovery and not a stock one

Thanks again Lesmil, yes hboot is 1.72.0000, can i restore the nandroid backup from twrp by placing it in the backups folder? My pc will not recognise the phone in adb with the google drivers installed. It does however find it as a fastboot device. I have only been at this two days and am learning but this is all quite new to me. If I could only show you my bookmarks, I have around 100 and understand about 5% of the content

I wouldn't go thru nandroid, as you have latest hboot, so i guess it might get bricked. I am not sure, maybe I am mistaken But if you download those Stock files from my first post and OTA and Custom recovery from second post, you are going to have stock version and you can root your Stock ROM If you don't want to root then use everything stock and you will be able to download OTa update regullary. You can read my newbie thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525341.
On attachment of this post you can find latest HTC driver I have and fastboot files.

Thanks so much to lesmil who took the time to PM me with full instructions. I am now back to stock and much happier

[Q] Stock Recovery needed for M8 CID T-MOB003

Hi,
I have been reading a lot of posts to find the stock recovery version for my HTC One M8. My CID is T-MOB003 and I have the stock ROM (Software nr. x.xx.114.x)still running but I can't find my stock recovery - must have misplaced it after the back-up - so I can do the update to Android 5.0. I have already looked here for it but no solution.
Is there anyone who can help me with a stock recovery for my device?
Greetings,

My CID is T-MOB003 and I have the stock ROM (Software nr. x.xx.114.x)still running but I can't find my stock recovery - must have misplaced it after the back-up - so I can do the update to Android 5.0. I have already looked here for it but no solution.
Is there anyone who can help me with a stock recovery for my device?
Greetings,
JHS

when you get prompted for the ota you download it but NOT install it. take the ota.zip from the internal memory and take out the firmware.zip, in that zip is the recovery.img.
flash that recovery.img and then perform the ota.....done :good:

Damn that was the help I needed!! Really great gonna try this when I get home!

After searching for months myself, I came to the conclusion that nobody has ever made a backup of their original recovery. (the T-MOB003 that is)
Since I had the same problem, and I know it sounds like bull**** but you need to get s-off to get firmware updates since you do not have the original recovery anymore.
The only way of fixing this that I know is theroot.ninja (SunShine S-Off Tool)
Yes it does costs some money, but you'll be happy with it for years.
It changes your CID to 111111 so you can flash whatever firmware you want and then you should be good to go!

No need at all for all of that. The method described above to get the stock recovery works flawlessly, if of course the system is 100% stock too !
And as additional info :
My experience on the one x was that all recoveries starting with the same base number are the same

As usual... when it comes to T-MOB003, people so secretive to write full version.
They prefer x.xx.114.x ... and until today there is no backup for x.xx.114.x on the backup thread

Must say I didn't do it intentionally but saw most people do it so followed it. But you mean an nandroid back-up specific? I can post the recovery image if anyone is interested.

Recovery is not a problem .. simply extract out from OTA zip before proceed with OTA installation.
Nandroid backup is a problem especially the lower version 1.57.114.2 for hboot 3.16.00000 and 2.23.114.3 for hboot 3.18.0000 - many users are stuck at these two versions because no one willing to share them.

Like this ? (i'm Sorry i m too Slow)

and i did a Big mistake... i think i Bricked the Device......
Mistakenly i touched on "Format Data" instead of "Factory Reset" on TWRP 2.7.0.2... and then i tried to Flash MaximusHD 5.0.1 ROM... now everytime i touch on reboot, phone comes on on boot loader.... Did i do something wrong with partition ? what should i do ?

As i suspected. In your first post you wrote your hboot was 3.19.....but it's 3.16 and therefore way too low for the latest roms.
You need to update the firmware first, then TWRP to the latest one and then flash one of the latest MM roms.
What was your cid before you changed it to supercid ?
And no you didn't brick it. This is just a software issue. A brick is when the phone won't go the bootloader or recovery anymore.

Old cid should be a sprint one and software number is somewhat like 1.54.654.x
I would suggest to get back to a stock rom + recovery and then update the phones software + firmware via official ota.
Let's see if there is a backup available.
Edit :
I don't know much about sprint devices so check in the specific sprint section for a suited backup. The 1.54.654.x
Here you can find very detailed instructions on how to restore a backup successfully !

Edited my post above. Your supercid should not interfere with ota updates at all. More important is to get a pure stock backup. Or a RUU ..... hold on, a ruu would be an option too but it wipes the ENTIRE phone !
Edit : are you using it on sprint network ?
http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p..._NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_418492_signed_2.exe
Here is a ruu that would suit your device. Put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb menu and execute the RUU.exe with admin rights from the pc (windows, usb 2.0 port connection) it will flash the phone to full stock.
When the ruu is successful you can flash the latest TWRP and flash the skydragon rom

You can't flash the latest roms NOT because of your CID but because the firmware is outdated ! And as far as i can tell about your MID is that it's a sprint device.
You can only flash old kitkat roms at this time.
Maybe @redpoint73 can chip in .......

Q.1 - i want to install SkyDragon 6.0 Marshmallow Sense 7 based Rom.. Do i Need or I have to install Stock 5.0.1 before flash 6.0 marshmallow ?
A. You only need to flash the firmware from Stock 5.0.1.
Go to the link below and flash this:
4.25.651.18 Full Firmware from RUU (fastboot flashable)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
This will also update your hboot to 3.19 so no need to answer Q.2.
Now, flash the latest TWRP, then go flash your favorite "SkyDragon 6.0 Marshmallow Sense 7 based Rom" by following the Dev's instructions on its OP.
All done.
Q.2- Do i need to update HBoot version ?
A. Answered Above.
Q.3- Do i need to update TWRP Recovery ?
A. Yes, flash the latest TWRP because the stock firmware you flashed has already replaced your custom recovery with a stock recovery. Obviously, you can't flash any custom ROM from Stock recovery.

Note: To go back to stock HTC:
Flash the stock RUU from here (follow the instructions in OP):

I agree, its the Sprint version according to the Model ID. I also agree with the above posts, that RUU is the best way to update the firmware.
But be aware that firmware is not the only potential pitfall on the Sprint version. Custom ROM support for the Sprint version is a little tricky due to kernel differences (with most other versions of the M8). You either need to stick to ROMs that explicitly state they support Sprint; or you may also be able to flash the proper kernel to make the ROM work. As-is (without modifying the kernel) Viper MM will not work on Sprint. I was reading on the ARHD thread, that some Sprint folks got that ROM working with the proper kernel, so the same may be true for Viper. But you should read up and learn more before messing with these ROMs and kernels.
