Its the HBoot and FW you have. As I'm remembering firewater doesn't work with this version jet.

Sadly your only option is sunshine. If I remember correctly sunshine was created by the same devs as firewater so don't count on an updated firewater to fix this for you. Also sunshine costs 25 dollars, just a little fyi. Good luck with S-OFF!

Many Thanks

So this thread implies that Sunshine is proven to work on a phone with 3.18 hboot and obviously taken an OTA? I'd heard somewhere that wasn't confirmed yet.

It doesn't imply. But as it check if it's really gonna work and firewater definitely doesn't it's the best try you got.
By the way. You just have to pay if it is gonna work and all checks the tool runs are positive.
Hit "Thanks"if I was of any help.

Firewater won't work. It requires an online server component, that was taken offline 4 years ago.
If you want s-off, you need to pay for sunshine.
But s-off is only needed for limited things (changing CID/MID, manually flashing hboot, radio, etc.). S-off is not needed to root or flash custom ROMs.
Make sure you actually need s-off, before you waste too much time trying to s-off!

Are you trying to get LTE? Just flashing firmware, may not accomplish that. Again, just trying to make sure you don't spend money on sunshine s-off, for no good reason.
Also, you should tread carefully, as flashing the wrong firmware to certain M8 versions can brick the phone.
If you want us to take a closer look, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Also, tell us which 3G and LTE bands your local carrier uses.

Not able to flash any ROM after flashing SlimKat

Hello Community,
I've installed Slimkat 4.4.4 Build 8 some time ago. Now I've wanted to go back to Sense Roms. But now, when I go to the recovery and try to flash a new ROM (after Factory Reset of course) i will be stuck while booting with the HTC-Logo and the red text. But when reflashing the same SlimKat, my phone works just fine after flashing...
I would be very happy, if somebody could help me out of this situation, so I can go back to an Sense ROM.
Greetings,
Michael

Are you sure you gave the sense rom enough time? It can take a very long time for first boot sometimes.
Also, what firmware version are you on (according to bootloader screen, not what Android says)....

Yes, i think I gave enought time. (10 minutes should be enough?)
My firmware version according to bootloader is 3.16.0.0000

Could take longer definitely. Let it sit a half hour before giving up.
And what OS version does bootloader report...?
---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------
Actually, I'm sure your firmware is outdated. Need to update it to use any 4.4.4 roms for Sense.
If you're s-on, try this thread,

Where can I get then the firmware.zip? I searched google up and down, i din't find it for my CID...

Life would be simple if you got Sunshine, and if it works, s-off then supercid. Then updating is simple.
Just a thought. ?

check the general section. collection of stock backups ...it has also the ota zip files, firmwares are inside so see if the right one is there

Hi, just wondering, will this work on HTC One M7 (International Version) with Sense 6.0 and everything updated to the latest software?

People say it works, I, however had no luck. It kept on fecthing the bin to unlock (last step) for at least an hour when I eventually gave up and htcdev unlocked the bootloader in under 5 minutes.

May I know how you rooted your HTC One M7 on Sense 6.0? I heard that the Sense 6.0 update had some increased security such that no rooting software works? Haven't had much luck finding how to root it; would appreciate it if you could provide some links!

oops. please delete.

and here http://download.cnet.com/Kingo-HTC-Bootloader-Unlock/3000-20432_4-76047097.html

So I take it this will wipe phone or break apps the same as HTC dev unlock just for those that don't know? Is this just a handy tool for those not knowing how to use HTC dev unlock?

I used this app and it's very useful. It's making the same thing like HTC dev unlock, it wipes the phone but you don't have to do anything but press a button. Thanks for this very useful application.

Flash a Stock 5.x with TWRP?

Hi Folks,
I've a HTC m8 on 4.4.1 rooted. I'm allover lucky, But for some reasons I wanna upgrade to 5.x
Is there a way to flash ist with TWRP to a Stockrom by HTC?
Thx for helping...

There is no 4.4.1 for the M8. The M8 was released with 4.4.2.
You will run into issues (broken WiFi, extreme long boot times) if you try to install a Lollipop ROM. You need to update the firmware (hboot radio, etc.), also.
Need your CID and main version to know how to proceed. Do getvar all, and post the results, being sure to delete IMEI and serial number, as these are personal data.
Depending on what CID version you have, you can either RUU to update firmware and install stock Lollipop ROM; otherwise you will need to restore you stock ROM (unrooted) stock recovery, then OTA to update the firmware and update to Lollipop.

Uhhh mam, all this just to give n7player the ability to access id3 tags on external SD. But I badly need to.
Thx for helping!

Ah I forgot to say. Due to freshly moved, I can't plug to any PC and can't make a getvar. Sry.

So it looks like you rooted on Android 4.4.3 (software number 2.22.401) and never installed a custom ROM? That sound right?
Does it say hboot 3.17 on the bootloader screen? S-on or s-off?
Depending on your answers the above questions, your options:
1) Restore stock nandroid you made before root (if you made one) otherwise restore the appropriate stock nandroid from collections here on XDA. Restore stock recovery. Once restored to "stock", install official OTA updates to bring the phone up to Lollipop. From there, you can flash TWRP back to the phone, and root if you like.
2) I think there is a 4.16.401 RUU that will work s-on (need to relock bootloader if s-on). That will get you on stock Lollipop firmware and ROM. Then you can re-unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root again if you like. But be aware that RUU will wipe the phone, so backup any personal data you want to keep before RUU.

Glad you mentioned that. I originally thought you didn't know the difference between what you posted and getvar output, which would be pretty bad!
The screenshots provide some info, but not everything I want, therefore the additional questions above.

I tried yesterday a Cyanogenmod 12.1 by TWRP after Backup. Worked pretty fine. But after all I've been insure about how long it would take to build up a full functional place with all apps and data I already have and need and recovered my backup.
Your other questions I gonna answer as soon.
Edit: HBOOT 3.18 and S-On

Again, thx for helping. I decided to flash CM 12.1 and restored almost via Titanium.
Seems to be a quit good decision.

I can try the RUU process but will it result?
In this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-m8-stuck-fastboot-menu-t3343506 ) the last guy says to unlock the bootloader and flash custom recovery. How can I do that without access to the phone into a normal state?
Any advice would be helpful

The RUU linked by ckpv5 is specifically intended for your model, and that is the reason why he is telling you to use it.
Trust that guy, he knows what he is talking about. He doesn't guess or screw around.

The current condition is fine, for unlocking the bootloader. You don't need a working OS to do it. But this is a much more complicated approach than the suggested RUU. You would need to get an unlock bin code from HTCDev.com, unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery. Even then, that doesn't get you a working OS. You then have to get an appropriate ROM or stock TWRP backup onto the phone, then flash/restore it.
So again, the RUU is a lot easier for the given situation (unmodified phone, bootloader locked, etc.). Just download the RUU, and run it per the linked instructions, and it will install a full stock image to the phone.

Thanks, will try in a few hours (just giving some juice (charge) to the phone )
While reading the topic I realized he knows the stuff it was just to confirm as I didn't specify the model

We have magical ways of knowing.
Actually, since the device is not modified, the OS number on the bootloader screen tells is what model it is (the 401 is for Euro version MID op6b100).
But also, he wouldn't tell you to use just any RUU, unless he had a reason to suggest that particular one.
Additionally, even if it was the wrong RUU, it would not damage your phone. With s-on, it would just fail to install and give you a message that it is the wrong RUU. It's with s-off (SuperCID, etc.), you need to be careful about wrong RUU.

I have to say guys: this actually worked! You both were superb!
On behalf of him, thank you!
