Hi everyone ,
Here is my problem, I bought a french htc one m8 with orange carrier, I unlocked my bootloader and installed phil's touch recovery and then I flashed skydragon rom 4.4.2 with htc sense 6 but now I would like to flash the last skydragon lollipop but here's my problem , I can't go s-off with this rom so I can't update my firmware or change my CID, so I can't install lollipop rom without wifi's problem. I would like to know how can I do to update my firmware to 4.4.4 cause I tried to s-off with firewater but doesn't work too.
Anyone have a solution would be a god to me ^^
Thanks in advance.

Firewater doesn't work anymore. HTC patched the exploit.
You'll have to use SunShine S-Off. It costs $25, but is guaranteed to work or you don't pay.
Having S-Off is totally worth $25 IMO.
Here's a link to their website.

Go to this thread. It has a collection of stock backups you can falsh to get back your stock ROM.
It also has a collection of stock recoveries to flash with ADB if you need that.
All the instructions are there.

Firmware is something separate. That link will get you back to stock ROM. Then use Sunshine to s off. After that, you can update your firmware.

The stock recoveries or in that link too. I'm not sure if you need them for sunshine though. Try with custom recovery, if that doesn't work, get a stock recovery.
Or get both ROM and recovery stock, then reflash a custom recovery and ROM.
If you get both to stock, you shouldn't have any issues.

Firmware updates. If you have one fresh out of the box, Firewater would probably still work. And still does for some.

First, I misunderstood your earlier question. Yes the number in front of the backups are for firmware.
To help you more, I'll need some information. Hook up your phone to your computer and start ADB. Then issue these commands:
adb reboot fastboot (wait till your phone boots into fastboot)
fastboot getvar all
Then post what the readout says here, but edit out your serial number (serialno) and IMEI for your own safety.
Then I'll be able to give you a little more guidance.

Your CID is ORANG202 and your firmware is 1.54.73.5, so you will need the backup that corresponds with that.
The backup available was made with TWRP recovery. So you'll need that. (In my opinion, TWRP is a better recovery, less issues)
You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.
Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".
After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.

It looks like it might be hard because of his full explanation of the whole process, but it's actually very easy. And very informative.

Hey folks.
So I was running CM11 on my Rogers M8 for quite some time, until I decided to flash Sense based roms. Uh-oh, Wifi doesnt work anymore. Decided to do some digging, and realized that it's due to my older firmware which needs to be updated.
I followed the guides, and did the following to prepare:
Flashed stock recovery. I know it worked due to the triangle and explamation mark.
Relocked the bootloader through ADB commands.
Proceeded to ADB "fastboot getvar all" to see my current version.
That's when I saw that right next to the "version-main" it's empty. No numbers. Consequently, I haven't been able to flash any firmwares since it never passes any checks.
I am S-ON (firewater didnt work), CID is ROGER001, and completely exhausted. Please, help me figure this out.

Not being SuperCID?
What do you mean each time?
You can flash stock firmware without going back to stock. As long as your MID and CID match.
Just download stock rogers firmware, rename and install it in hboot, or use RUU mode in fastboot.

Here are all the files to download to go back to stock rogers. Download and zip them, then use TWRP to flash. Afterwards you will just have to install a stock recovery to be fully stock, but if you don't carte about OTAs, stick with TWRP. That way you can make nandroid backups.
EDIT: I'm mistaken here. You need them unzipped. PM sent.
For others with the same issue of returning to Canadian stock, go to this thread for links and a guide on how to do so.

The getvar tell me, you are S-ON.
But you need S-OFF to flash a new firmware.
Otherwise you brick your phone.
That the firmware number is not showing is not critical i think. Its a symtom of some roms.
I flashed the newest firmware to my m7, number was showing. Then i flash Viper 7.0.1 and after that, my number is hidden.
But everything works, so i think its not critical.

Not true, you can flash the latest firmware if you're S-ON, the only "catch" is that it MUST be the correct MID and CID(That's in Firmware.zip) else it won't flash.
It's also the only way for an S-ON device to update it's Radio, as it won't be able to manually flash Radio's if it's not S-OFF.
Of course you need to relock your bootloader to do this with S-ON. So get stock recovery also, of course make backups of everything you need backed up as relocking it might erase all data.

Collection of stock backus Go there download the nandroid backup for your device(1.54.709.12) and the stock recovery also on post 1.
Restore the nandroid backup for your device with the custom recovery(It was made with TWRP so use TWRP) flash back the stock recovery and just follow all the OTA updates to get to the latest 4.4.4 and you'll also be ready for 5.0 when it launches(whenever).

I am sure firewater should work on your device. I just S-OFF and gained superCID. Your device is basically a GSM phone. The only advantage of doing OTA updates are that you will be getting updates a tad faster. The disadvantage is it might brick your phone with wrong firmware/device ID. My advice would be to try to get S-OFF again. If your phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked go ahead and flash a custom recovery such as TWRP. If you do no know how to flash your recovery you can download an app called Flashify and it will flash TWRP for you via google play store app.
Once you get TWRP recovery you can reboot into recovery and simply do a system restart. It will ask if you want to install superSU. Make sure you have superSU installed. follow the instructions from here http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/ I recommend being on a stock sense ROM. Make sure you have debugging enabled via developer option and enabling unknown devices. Once you push firewater to your phone and allow superSU app to grant permission you SHOULD get s-OFF.
Once you get s-OFF you can change your phone version ID to superCID via bootloader+adb command "fastboot oem writecid 1111111" After that you can just flash over any firmware you want. I say wait for devs to get official gpe 5.0 dumps and it'll be way better than an OTA rom.
IF your phone ever gets into a bootloop or frozen reboot it via holding down volume up+down+power. The phone will reboot.

Are you talking about system changes preventing OTA updates? If so, being rooted has nothing to do with it, it won't prevent an OTA from installing. It'll remove root from the device in which case you'll have to re-root(if you want) but it won't prevent the OTA from installing.
Besides as far as I know, unless stated differently, the backups in the thread are all unrooted.

Guess you should have made a backup of your device before you messed around. That way you would have known for a fact it was "untouched" .
Just download the backup provided in the link, flash a stock recovery and do the OTA's. You can even go through the small effort ahead of time and "unroot" it just in case it was "rooted" which I doubt it will be.

Root alone does not change system partition. Its only changes to system files you do after root that will prevent OTA.
And in theory, the stock backups in Mr Hofs collection should be made without root, I believe. Root is not needed to make a nandroid.
As far as I have seen, the couple HTC apps that are "deleted" upon bootloader unlock do not affect OTA. There are lots of folks here with unlocked bootloaders that were able to return to stock ROM and recovery and OTA.

One for a know fact as its stated in the download link. And it's very usable for official ota as its 100% complete. And if it bothers people it's rooted they have to read the second post too as it contains a flashable zip to delete root access. But that's not being said here because people probably don't read enough very well !
And indeed root is not needed for a nandroid backup. Only a custom recovery is enough to create one.
ooof that made me sound interesting !
Cheers.

Ahh ... you're asking about my backup that I uploaded.
No ... nothing is deleted from backup 1.54.709.12, everything is there like the flashlight, calculator & etc. No root, no busybox... simply clean stock.
In fact, once you restore the backup with full wipe of your current ROM, you'll get the setup wizard just like when you setup the phone for the first time.
To install CM12 on my One M8 it tells me that my hboot version is too old.
My current version is 3.16 and I need 3.18 or 3.19 any ideas on how I do that since i didn't find anything myself.

your hboot is old you must be on a custom rom for a long time. Am I correct?
are you on s-off ?
Yes I have since I got the phone about half a year ago and I'm in s-on.

Since you are S-On you will have to go back to stock to take the OTAs to update your firmware (contains hboot). That means stock recovery and ROM, plus an unmodified system partition.
If you were to go S-Off, you could update the firmware manually.
Can you tell me if I need to be S-Off in order to flash back to stock because I don't really understand it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
@xunholyx
Thanks for reply, but how should it be possible to flash manually the rom with S-ON when I receive the message the I have to update hboot?
Is it possible to download the hboot as a .img?

You don't need to be S-Off to flash the backups. You just need the ones that match your CID and firmware/hboot.
You can find the 3.19 hboot .img files to flash with a simple google search (I just tried). Make sure that is the proper one for your model, and please realize that the hboot is a critical part of your phone and any corruption will brick your device.

Excellent guide, with downloads for many firmware versions (you didn't give any details about your phone) below. I personally always use Method #2:

Hasn't been updated since it was rooted I see. And that was two years ago. That's a long time.
Hook up to your PC, get into ADB/fastboot, and enter the command fastboot getvar all. Remove your IMEI and serial# first (and MEID if you have one) because that is private info that you should never share on a public forum.
With the information from the getvar, I will be able to direct you on the proper firmware download.
Telling me the hboot version doesn't tell me enough to link you up. It does let me know however, that instructions on how to update aren't enough. You need direction on how to find the firmware for your particular model of M8.
I'll also give you instructions on how to flash the firmware.
You could also go to this thread instead, and learn on your own. It's all in the first couple of posts. It's very informative.
Of course you can post back here after if you have any questions about the process
So I purchased the phone from somone, but the person who sold the phone to me also had a previous owner who rooted the phone and installed a rom. So as I deleted all the files for the person, something must have happened because ever since then, the wifi is not responding. It cannot search any routers nor does it turn on. So I am trying to return the phone to stock condition, but the process was a bit too hard for me to understand. Can someone explain it a bit easy for someone who does not know a lot about HTC devices and rooting?
So far, when I enter recovery mode, I get
Tampered Unlocked M8UL PVT SHIP S-OFF CID-HTC_622 HBOOT-3.16.0.0000 RADIO-1.16.21331831.A16G OpenDSP-v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311 OS- eMMC-boot 2048MB May 20 2014
I think I wiped the recovery program(TWRP) or something because all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point. I had done the getvar but I did not get any info in the main version part. So far I have installed the Maximus HD 9.0.0 rom. The radio is fine. Text, phone call, data all seems to work, but the only thing that is not working is the wifi. What steps should I take to return the phone to stock so that I don't have to worry about rooting and stock roms? As always, thanks for the feedback everybody! I had so much help from you guys!

Your wifi isn't working because you are running a 4.4.4 ROM with 4.4.2 firmware. Look for a 4.4.2 based ROM, or update your firmware.
You can download the last(newest) 4.4.2 based Maximus HD ROM from here.

So is it possible to get a rom with a 4.4.2 and get an OTA from that ROM to a 4.4.4? Or does that not work. And also, I think I may have wiped the Recovery Program(TWRP?) and I think I need to install that again. Thanks for the help.

You will never get an OTA on a custom ROM. The problem is your model (Hong Kong). I'm not sure if you will be able to find stock backups or an RUU to return to stock to take the OTAs.
Hook up the phone to your PC, start up ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all and post the readout here. I'll see if I can find something for you to return to stock. Edit out the serial no and IMEI from the readout for your own security.

Thanks for the help, but the only problem that I have with the RUU and the stock backup is that I am confused on how to install them. Can you help me with distinguishing between them? I saw that when you want your m8 stock Google, you need to have some sort of Google RUU but that is as far as I know regarding RUU and Stock backups.

The RUUs aren't from Google, they are from HTC. I'm not sure if you'll find one for the Hong Kong model or not. The same applies for returning to stock using the stock ROM and recovery backups that are available here. You could also update your firmware manually since you are S-Off, but until I see a getvar, I can't point you in the right direction.

Okay. The link I provided in my last post has a stock backup for you. Choose the ones from CID HTC_622. You will need the one for 1.60.708.2 and the TWRP version for it installed in your phone. Put it into your backup folder and flash it. (full instructions are on that thread) Then you will need to flash the stock recovery from that thread. I couldn't find one to match. You might have to look elsewhere. You will be able to get the OTAs after that.
Or you could change to SuperCID (lots of instructions for that on XDA) and change your MID (Model ID, also lots of instructions here ~ change to 0P6B10000), then update manually with WWE firmware. You may be able to run WWE without changing your MID, but I can't confirm that. My MID is 0P6B12000, and I was able to flash international WWE firmware myself. Hope this helps.

Sure. To go back to stock to get the OTAs, you need a stock ROM and stock recovery. I could find a stock ROM backup from that thread for your device, but not a stock recovery that matched. You will have to find that one on your own.

Hi! After some searching, I have found the file, but I am not really sure on what to do. The link that you provided me really did not explain a lot. I am a bit confused on the part where I got the zip, but don't know really what to do. I got the zip that you wanted me, the HTC 622 one with the 1.6.0XXX and you told me to put it in a recovery folder(?). Do I have to put it in there or is it something I can flash right off my sd card? Is the zip something that I put in the TWRP folder? I really tried to google it, but all I get is how I can use RUU on H BOOT to install TWRP or something. Thanks for the help.
Edit 1. Sorry, I forgot to mention the zip! The stock nandroid backups. I got that, but the recovery that you mentioned, I really got lost trying to look for it. Is it possible to just flash the nandroid backup without the boot loader locked but S-off with the TWRP and get the stock ROM?

Okay. So I did a little research and came up with an official HTC RUU for your phone. As far as I know, it is the latest for the Hong Kong version (4.4.3). I say as far as I know because I don't deal with HK versions very often here.
Hook up to your PC and get into ADB/fastboot.
Download the official RUU from HTC's website by clicking here.
When the download is finished, double click it and choose run, (it's an .exe formatted file) then follow the prompts.
But please relize that running the RUU will WIPE EVERYTHING, so backup anything that you have that you don't want to lose.

Haha trust Australia to not get the tech support and love from the devs! Yeah I guess I might have to do the same. I need to sell my phone so I have to restore it to the stock state, otherwise the person buying it is going to complain about the updates not being able to install haha.
Try using an older recovery. There is one on the stock thread for Au devices.
here is the stock recovery for your phone. It is from version 1.80 but it should still work.
copy it to your TWRP directory and install it through twrp.
