Hi,
I'm going to upgrade my rooted and unlocked HTC One M8 International version (From Norway, not a Sprint, Verizon or any american brand) to a custom Android 4.4.4 ROM, but what HBOOT and radio version should I download?
If you know, can you give me a download link to both of them?
As of now I want to flash this ROM, do I need to update my HBOOT or anything else using ClockWorkMod?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744448
The phone is unlocked with HTC Dev, but what is the difference between S-On and S-Off?
Information about the phone from recovery if needed, don't really know what you need:
Got a 4.4.3 stock ROM installed which is rooted and ClockWorkmod v6.0.4.8
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.18.0.0000
RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO (Probably the stock radio installed).
OPENDSP-INVALID_VER_INFO
OS- eMMc-BOOT 2048MB
Just tell me if you need more information.
Thanks

With bootloader unlocked, you can install custom recovery, root (obviously, since already have) and flash ROMs. S-off is only required for certain things. However, changing the hboot is one of them (unless you do so by "official" means like OTA); as well as flashing the radio and SIM unlock.
I'm not an AOSP user, so hopefully someone who is can answer your other questions (required hboot, radio, etc.)

With your current bootloader, you're all fine and good to go! Just remember to do a nandroid backup and a full wipe before proceeding onto flashing PA on your device!

Are you sure? Because the hboot for 4.4.4 is 3.19, not 3.18.
I know on Sense based ROMs you need the 4.4.4 firmware which comes with the hboot.

AFAIK, in general HTC's firmware changes only affect Sense ROMs, not AOSP.
Although, its a always a good idea to see if a particular AOSP ROM requires a particular hboot. There is no blanket yes/no answer to this question IMO and its a good idea to do your research when flashing a particular ROM.

Today i have flashed the latest leedroid rom but i am now unable to flash the matching radio im guessing this is down to my phone being ship s-off not eng s-off. previous to the new update i was able to flash radios with no problem now i get REMOTE NOT ALLOWED. i have tried putting my phone back to eng s-off but get an error "incompatible ROM/Kernal with the easy s-off tool.
How would i be able to get eng s-off back to flash the radio?
any help would be greatly appieciated.

the eng s-off tool isnt compatible with newer roms with custom kernels, do a nandroid backup of your current rom, then flash an older based rom with a STOCK HTC KERNEL. run the s-off tool, then restore your backup

Thats correct. Good to know. You learn something everyday.
From the One click S-OFF Thread:
System requirements:
•Windows XP SP2 or higher
•.NET Framework 3.5
•HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
•Desire HD with original kernel (or Buzz 1.0.7 / 1.1.4 Sense). It is best to use STOCK ROM (lower than 1.7x)! The new HTC radio does not work.

No i just flashed an old cyanogenmod rom that i had on my pc and that worked just fine.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
is your phone ENG S-OFF or SHIP S-OFF? (written at the top of the screen in the bootloader)
to flash radio, you need both Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF.
and what exactly does the error say in adb.
After holding vol down + boot key I get this:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.85.2007 (PD9810000)
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.04.02.05_M2
SYSTEM INFO:
OS Ver-1.39.161.1
In the phone's settings I found this:
Kernel 2.6.32.28-cyanogenmod
Android version 2.3.1
Mod version CM7-RC0-DHD-PNK14
Compilation number GRH78
I have visionary installed and a console emulator, I can su, so the device is rooted. But I want to do an S-OFF. I tried it and it told me that I'm running on an unsupported kernel. I believe that it's because of the cyanogen mod installed instead of a stock rom.
What can I do in order to be able to do a S-OFF? What should I flash? How? Where do I get it?
Regards

Someone else may be able to correct me, but in the fist line, your phone already told you that it is S-OFF, hence why it is not letting you do this again, probably not down to the kernel you are running.

What do you want to flash? A new radio? a different rom? Did you want to upgrade your version of cyanogenmod to the latest version. Download link and instructions for installing Cyanogenmod 7.0.0 RC4
Desire HD Radio thread on XDA-Developers
Hope this is of some use.
It is actually down to the kernel, please read the tool's requirements.. But that being said, you already have at least ENG S-OFF. You can check radio S-OFF in bootloader's system info, if the CID is 11111111, you have it.
To get radio S-OFF, flash Raidroid stockify series ROM and then run the tool again. You also have to get older radio, read the requirements...
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I checked my CID and it says VODAP304, so it's a branded device.
I searched the forums for Radroid stockify ROM and I found this thread, but the info says "These ROMs are simply debranded and rooted stock roms...".
Can I flash a debranded ROM on a branded device? Also, there are no requirements in that thread, so I'm noot really sure what radio should I get. In fact, there are a few ROMs and I don't know which one is the correct for my phone.
One last thing, I made a goldcard, because I red that that's a requirement in order to flash ROMs to a branded device. Am I right?
Regards
Hi, as you have ENG S-OFF and clockworkmod, the branded CID does not affect anything. Raidroid does not have requirements. Every DHD ROM is compatible with every DHD device.
If you want to use my radio S-OFF tool, get the radio I recommend in my tool's thread.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I found a quick guide here and a detailed guide here about how to flash a radio. But they both say that my device must be radio s-off and eng s-off, and my device is only eng s-off, right? (I'm not sure about that, so please correct me if I'm wrong).
So, in order to flash a radio I need to do a radio s-off, but I'm not able because of the kernel that I'm using.
What should I do? Is it safe to flash a Raidroid stockift ROM, then flash the radio that you recommend in the radio s-off thread, and then do the radio s-off?
f that's not the way, could you tell me what to do first?
Regards
Yep, do it like this:
Download & flash Raidroid 1.32.405.6
Flash older radio, do not care about radio s-off
Get radio S-OFF using my tool
Flash any radio & ROM you like
I'm flashing the ROM right now. Should I do a full wipe? (I'm looking this guide)
It is always good to do that.
Great! I have been doing this all day, and I finally made it!
Now I'm planing to install the Android Revolution HD 4 ROM, so I'll make a full wipe again, but what if next month there is a 4.0.1? Should I do another full wipe?
Anyways, that is just a small question, as everything else went perfect. Thank you so much for you support!
Regards
Well it depends, it is always good to do a full wipe.. Mike will give instructions about that when the time comes. Full wipe is not always necessary.

You might want to dig through this thread as you're in a similar situation.
As the htcdev unlock method doesn't give you s-off ("security off") you probably want to ask the thread starter how he managed to get s-off after using the htcdev method. You'll also get some useful background information about rooting etc in general.
just for extra info, you do not need to be s-off though to root and flash custom roms. i was s-on for a few months at 1st too but my method of unlock was with revolutionary not htcdev. you will need to install a custom recovery and then if you want a quick root i believe that just flashing cm7 gives you this!! otherwise you need to install the superuser and binaries?? please dont quote me on this and DO please research as its been a long time and different method etc since i performed unlock and root access. regards slym.
p.s welcome aboard
R.V.3
Slymobi, You are right, if you have s-off and a custom recovery you can just flash cm7 and you will have root access. No need to flash superuser or binaries as these are included in the Rom.
Revolutionary is the best way of getting s-off and flashing a custom recovery but I don't think your version of hboot is supported so you will have to downgrade first.

Oh, he isn't s-off but yes, he could flash a custom ROM. However he might run into troubles (i.e. the radio if he gets problems with wifi, gps or bt - he wouldn't be able to flash a different radio without s-off)

Exactly, s-off is the way to go imo. My first custom rom on wildfire was cm7 and that needed a radio reflash to get GPS working.
or....... you can always just flash a sense rom,initiate gps then restore backup!! no radio flash/s-off needed

I know I think the htcdev method should be avoided where possible for that reason. S-off is better for so many reasons not least if something goes horribly wrong when flashing you have more options to unbrick your phone.

Hi guys,
I got a HOX with CID VODAP102.
Using HBOOT 0.94.0000 and main version 1.28.161.9
Radio uknown ('none' says bootloader)
I want to update to JB, specifically CM10.1.
But i need to update my HBOOT, though can't seem to figure out how with my CID...
How would i go about this? The threads i found are either inconclusive or with different versions.
Oh yeah, this didn't work because of the CID thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
edit; just noticed, i already did the fastboot flash boot boot.img. So now i have a boot.img with an older version of the CM software. Which appearantly does not boot.
Thanks, Ice
are you rooted and unlocked?
matt95 said:

Rooted and unlocked. Been running CM10 for a while (beta's).
Device is still S-on though; but thats for all HOX's i think?
yeah, however to update your HBOOT you need to download the right firmware package for your CID here
Code:
# adb reboot bootloader
# fastboot oem lock
# fastboot oem rebootRUU
# fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
# fastboot reboot
now you need to unlock it again and flash a custom recovery... and that's it, flash whatever you want now
well that did it! at least; the phone boots again.
rebooted to bootloader and that now says hboot 1.36 which probably means i can update to 10.1.
just to be sure; i need to install CWM again, copy the boot.img and flash cm10.1?
ill try that tonight. just glad i can be reached again.. need the phone for work
Thanks!
edit; oh and unlock the bootloader again. Or is that not necessary since i should already have root access?

Most radios are flashable through recovery, it should say how to flash it, but GPE should work fine as long as you are gsm. You probably just need to change the apn settings to match vodafone.

Replace the RUU? Not sure what you mean by that. You can flash gpe roms on a gpe or sense based firmware. The only reason you can't flash sense roms on GPE firmware is because partitions are too small. I would convert back to sense, then flash whatever you want. No advantage to having converted phone as most gpe rom developers release updates just as quick as google.
