Returning to stock sense.

How do I go back to stock sense?
After rooting my device, I downloaded a few roms and none of them worked except Skydragon.
I'm getting kinda tired of the stock lollipop and want to go back to sense but I cant. The other roms get me stuck on bootloader.
I tried downloading the RUU 0p6bimg.zip to revert back to stock but I wasnt able to transfer it to my SD card. I then downloaded it directly to my sdcard and went into hboot.
hboot says the file is too big and wont let me do anything.
I'm S-ON
Unlocked
version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
version-main: 3.11.1700.5
product: m8_ul_ca
modelid:0P6B12000
cidnum: CWS__001
also if it matters, I was on TWRP 2.7.0.2 but now im on CWM 6.0.4.8
help pls.

Its exactly the same as it was on your HOX. Get a matching nand backup to restore. You know the basics, how to do it and such.....been coverering that before

Can you post your entire fastboot getvar all output (minus the IMEI and S/N) please? Looks like you are running the GPe ROM

Heres all I have tried so far:
1) flashing different firmwares but they keep failing. (yes, I ran it twice, sometimes more) Im not sure whether getting the right firmware will help, I saw somewhere it does. Am I using the wrong ones?
2) I tried RUUs as well, but it fails at 1/7. The last one I checked said it would update to 4.16.1540.8, then said please get the right RUU. :S
I'm not sure which that is.
3) several different recovery files as well, including stock ones and running Sense-based roms and supersu after. The phone reboots back into recovery mode.

1. It will fail if you don't use the one originally for your devices CID
2. There aren't any RUUs for the M8_UL_CA
3. You need to find the one that matches your CID

It looks like your device is originally AT&T
1. If you want to try to flash firmware only, you need to relock bootloader
download the signed firmware here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-4-4-4-firmware-signed-encrypted-t3031703
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip .....( again for the 2nd time)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
see whether you can successfully flash this firmware. If yes, you can try option 2.
2. RUU - still you need to relock bootloader and run this RUU (run as Administrator)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58949364&postcount=36
3. You need to revert your partition to Sense partition then only you can restore/flash Sense based ROMs/backup
Means you need that option 1 or option 2

They're S-ON, so it's not a full conversion

Any device with CID/MID as OP has, can run a signed GPE RUU with S-On
I don't know whether OP can revert to Sense from GPE when the signed firmware has same CID/MID ... and no harm to try as OP has a S-On device. Maybe can because same hboot version 3.19.0000 and maybe cannot because of software version (cannot downgrade from lollipop to 4.4.4)

okay so basically i need to relock my bootloader, flash a different firmware and then I can install a Sense Rom, correct?
Am I understanding this correctly? Relock bootloader, flash firmware, unlock bootloader again, install rom.
Will the firmware you linked above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-4-4-4-firmware-signed-encrypted-t3031703) be able to install a ROM like the latest Viper or the latest Android Revolution? Im only assuming it would be like this:
Also, can someone tell me what I needed to write to relock the bootloader please?

Before we talk about flashing other ROM, you need to try whether you can successfully flash the signed firmware or not. If successful, this will take you to Sense 4.4.4 not lollipop. If fails, then you need a lollipop firmware for your device version. Don't you remember anything about your original software before GPE ... or your device is original GPE ? Which is which now ? If it is original GPE, then nothing you can do to convert to Sense without S-Off (I assume original is not GPE because you first question is "How do I go back to stock sense?")
You need the one that said "Stock signed/encrypted (includes stock boot and recovery)"

My device was originally Sense. I installed Skydragon and Android Revolution back then but wasn't getting wifi. I updated my firmware, but only Skydragon seemed to be working after I did so. I havent been able to go to any Sense ROMs since.

I guess so ... you wrongly flashed a signed GPE firmware. That is why you can only install a GPE ROM.
So.. can't you remember at all what device that you have ?
Try that option 1 and see how it goes.

This means your device is AT&T .. now your partition is back to Sense partition.
But this is only a 4.4.4 firmware because there is no lollipop 5.0.1 for AT&T yet for now.
If you want to revert everything to stock Sense, do option 2. Remember your first question is "How do I go back to stock sense?" and your thread title "Returning to stock sense" .... I help you to achieve this. More than this, I'm not so sure as I'm not familiar with AT&T device.
If you want to try any lollipop base custom ROM, you need to re-unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP - use 2.8.3.0 (not sure whether 2.8.4.0 & 2.8.5.0 can work on 4.4.4 or not), most important never ever use your old TWRP 2.7.0.2
then you can install that custom ROM .. and see any problem with wifi or not. I cannot help on custom ROM matter as I don't use one.
I suggest you do option 2, re-unlock, flash TWRP and make a backup of your stock ROM before you try that custom lollipop ROM..

Ok so, let me understand. Option 2 means I need to relock and run the RUU as administrator. After that I can run any Sense ROM even if its the new Lolipop sense roms? Or can only 4.4.4 roms work?
If its the ladder, can I simply relock and install a 4.4.4 custom sense ROM? Will that work?

If you want to run custom ROM, then no need option 2.
As I said earlier ...you need to re-unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP - use 2.8.3.0 (not sure whether 2.8.4.0 & 2.8.5.0 can work on 4.4.4 or not), most important never ever use your old TWRP 2.7.0.2
You can try lollipop. If it is not running perfect for your device then any Sense custom base 4.4.4 ROM should work. (e.g.- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748588)

the lollipop roms worked! thank you!!

Problem with my HTC One M8 with ROMs?

I have tried to install a new custom ROM on my HTC One M8.
It has a unlocked bootloader, it's unlocked, rooted, and i've had InsertCoin and Paranoid Android, and CyanogenMod on it.
My device is S-ON.
However, lately I have not been able to update to any of the newer roms.
The ROMs that I have tried to install are:
HTC_One_(M8)_-_MaximusHD_11.0.0
insertcoin-m8_5.0.3_ART
ViperOneM8_4.2.0_v2
And none of them work except for
pa_m8-4.45-20140729
which is always my go-to ROM right now when the others fail so I don't soft brick it.
I do have a Nandroid in case everything goes to hell.
But my question is, what is wrong with my device and why can't I update to another ROM? It gets stuck at the HTC White Logo screen every single time with every ROM that fails.
Thanks!

You have old hboot and firmware version.
All the newer Sense based ROM require hboot no less than 3.19.0000
What's your fastboot getvar all - post here minus serial no. & imei no.
Maybe lollipop OTA already available for your device region.

Here is my information on my phone, so it would seem that I am outdated. How would I get back up to date?

Here is the RUU for your device version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58771521&postcount=4593
This will update your device to the latest lollipop 4.20.531.4
1. put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC
2. run command to relock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Right click the RUU exe that you downloaded, select "run as administrator" .. wait for it to run, later there is a dialog box, accept, next, next, update, blablabla until it finish and your device rebooted... done.
Note : this will wipe everything on your internal storage. Make a backup of important files before you proceed.
Then if you want to install custom ROM again, re-unlock bootloader & install any custom recovery that you like.

Yep ... just proceed to install RUU (step 3)

Okay thank you, Also I wanted to ask you, how exactly did you find my RUU?
I saw the cidnum was TMOBO010 or whatever it was, but how exactly did you use that to find my RUU?
Thanks again for the help, much appreciated

These are the 3 items that important to check what you need.
I don't really need to search for it because I'm always around in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
and it happens that I just helped other person there with more or less same problem as yours.
BTW ... please remove those sensitive data (serial no. & imei no.) from your post above.

I did what you asked.
And okay I will keep that in mind
**EDIT**
Also, do I need to "re unlock" my phone? Or can I just do "fastboot oem unlock" because I have once before unlocked it?
This IS a relock right?

No .. you need to unlock it with the unlock_code.bin that you received from HTCDev when you first unlock your device.
If you don't have it, reapply a new one.

I see, okay I unlocked it again.
While I'm at it, I wanted to ask one final question that's been bugging me for a while now.
When I got to my Philz recovery and do "factory wipe" why doesn't it actually wipe my data?
I want ALL of my data, ROM, apps, everything to be gone, but it doesn't do that.
Is there an alternative?
Is there no way to remove all user data/apps?

I don't use Philz recovery so not sure how to help you. Maybe try an older version 6.26.6
I use only TWRP and now your device already updated to 5.0.1; you need to use TWRP 2.8.4.0 or the latest 2.8.5.0

Okay I am on TWRP, how do I do a factory reset on TWRP?
and what exactly will it do?
I just hope it'll actually wipe everything when I factory reset it. Or else I don't see a point of even having a factory reset option

It's all depends on what you want to do.
Factory reset - to prepare your device to install next ROM, it wipes user data, cache, dalvik cache
I always prefer - wipe menu - advance - select data, cache, dalvik, system - this wipe everything except internal storage.
To wipe data and internal storage - wipe menu - advance - format data - yes
I got to go now ... bed time

Thank you that's all I needed to know.
I appreciate the help, goodnight!

No problem ... and it's already good day here

Haha I see.
Do you know any information on the OnePlus?
I made a post there, however it's not a very active forum.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

No idea about any other brand phone ... I use only HTC since 2008 when I first registered with XDA with my first HTC Elf

Haha interesting, I started with the Droid DNA being my first HTC device, and that thing was so bad it almost never make me want to go HTC again. But I got my M7
And staying on topic... If you have a different kernel on your device, would you still be able to RUU it? Or would you have to revert the kernel back?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

RUU - no need
OTA - need to revert to stock kernel/modules if modules are changed. If modules are stock, then no need

You should post your getvar all (deleting your imei number and S./N ) there is a post here but it is in german with the same problem which points to an incorrect recovery!

Being rooted or not has no bearing on OTA update.
Also, it seems that you are trying to tell the OP to root (not completely clear, with the 2 word post), when he clearly states he is already rooted.

By the way, the other guy had a different problem.
Has anyone got an idea of whats wrong?

Wrong stock recovery image.
OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)
Get the right recovery image, OTA will proceed.
I have one here - 3.28.401.9_recovery.img : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/3.28.401.9_recovery.img/download

Okay thank you so far!
But now it comes up with a different error; It says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents".
Let me tell you the whole story:
Some time ago i installed busybox, xposed and xprivacy (and luckypatcher) and used it normaly.
Then the Lollipop update came around and since it wasnt working (giving out the unexpected contend error) i thought it would be a good idea to just do a factory reset.
It didnt work afterwards either, so i went here to ask what the problem was, and i was told it was because of xposed.
However, xposed wasn't installed anymore (the app), and (i think) the newer versions installed it somewhere else, so installing and then uninstalling (the button in the app) it didnt delete the old directory. (Btw. in an last attempt i tried installing the stick recovery and got the wrong one apparently)
So yeah, i have no idea on how to fix this problem, but i would be okay with having to reset my phone.

That's expected
There are a few methods to solve your problem.
The easiest one is RUU it back to stock.
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
You need to relock bootloader and also make a backup of your internal storage files/pic/music or whatever you like to keep.
The RUU will update your device to the latest

You don't have S-Off - that's why you need to relock bootloader
That's the only difference - read the thread thoroughly.
First step - relock bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
then follow the step 3 onwards
Also note you need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the usual fastboot.exe
Anything you need to ask, you can ask there. I believe @EddyOS will gladly help you

I believe you do know this is M8 thread and not HTC Desire 820n
But .. this is what you can do to fix your problem ...
Check for OTA as usual, download OTA then select install later.
Connect your device to PC then copy the OTA zip from internal storage\download folder to PC
Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip. Open firmware.zip and extract out recovery.img <--- this is the one that you need.
Boot your device to bootloader
Fastboot flash this extracted recovery.img
Reboot, check for OTA again, this time select install now
Done

I'm sorry for posting here but i did it and it's not working when i'm flashing the recovery i tooked it from the OTA it's give me error when flashing it the update is lollipop and i'm on kitkat 4.4.4
Sent from my HTC Desire 820 using XDA Free mobile app

Various problems.!

Forget this sorted it all out, now running SRom ported lollipop with sense 7 from the M9. Hboot no red text and faux locked/original/son. Super CID.
For the record, it's always a firmware/dalvic cache problem (98%)
Hi Guys so Im rooted running Android Revoluton HD ROMs on an international O2 phone S-on
I thought I would wipe the entire phone, bleach it like a PC and reinstall.
Not a problem except various elements dont work.
I installed Stock ROM (I think KitKat)
I installed ARHD 22. (Kit Kat) everything worked
I installed ARHD 34.(Jellybean Sense 6) no wifi
I installed ARDH 40.(Jellybean Sense 7) no HTC TV
I installed ARHD 41.(Jellybean Sense7) no images in Blinkfeed?
I know its probably because I wiped the misc folder but up until I did a clean wipe I could use all of these roms without a glitch.
So is it firmware?
What do I need to put back on my phone for them all to work
I am S-on at the moment and I know that isnt whats stopping these roms working.
Any suggestions?

It's firmware. You most probably have kitkat firmware and lolipop based roms will mess up your wifi and stuff. Take an ota or stay on kitkat.

Thanks will try
Do I just flash the zip file?
Im sure I probs do

If you are S-ON don't flash firmware. Just don't. You can flash rom zips, recoveries, kernels. You can write on these partitions with s-on: recovery, boot, system and data.

I've just used Sunshine to get S-off, what a joy to use!
So now I can just flash them right?
I've got my cid number matched it up with the ota and bingo?
Right?

well im come from HTC One M7, and as long as the M8 is pretty much the same, you dont need s-off to flash the same firmware which your already on, or the next one step up, after all, this is exactly what an OTA does for you.
However, now your s-off anyway, you canflash any RUU or firmware you like, just make sure cid and mid match first. :good:
EDIT: there ia also no need to lock or re-lock the bootloader to flash anything now that your S-off, leave it unlocked all the time for everything, its a common problem on the M7 forums at the moment, people who are s-off or even s-on, locking bootloaders with custom rom's or recovery's on thier phones.

Thanks, so with the ota there are two for O2 my cid is O2___001 am I right that I can take the 001 OR the 002?

in all honesty, I would of thought the CID 001 and 002 were in the same ota, have you checked the android-info.txt file within the OTA itself, its just a zip file.
possible to post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number please, also a link to the OTA's your downloading would be good.

Well I've just tried to flash both....I enter recovery instal zip right?
It's giving me an error.
Will tell you that info in a minute when I get on my pc

personnaly, if your just trying to get to Lollipop, I would change my CID to HTC__001 (thats 2 underscores, CID is always 8 digits)
Change MID if required.
and then flash the WWE International Lollipop full RUU, piece of cake. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563

But if the original isn't flashing what hope have I got with an HTC one. It's interesting to know though that I can change it.
So what next?

Flashing an OTA manually is a different kettle of fish, its just an OTA not a full RUU, and you would still have to be full stock in order for it to succeed.
however, if you just require the firmware in order to use a custom LP rom, then just pull the firmware.zip out of the OTA and flash it.
you would then have to put a custom recovery back on your phone, copy a rom to your sdcard, and flash it from within TWRP recovery.

And im trying to flash O2 OTA

you already have the latest firmware on your phone !!!
I installed ARHD 41.( Sense7) no images in Blinkfeed? ------ pulled from your first post, this is a common problem, if you mean its face ache, there is a fix for it on playstore.

OK is tere an RUU for O2 uk?
So im extracting the firmware at the mo, then I will flash it then I will try and install ARHD 41....
Im right that the O2___002 is an upgraded version of the 001 and its what I need right?
Otherwise im just replacing like for like.

nope O2___002 is a different cid, you need to use the 001 files, however, its the same as you already have on your phone.
CID is just carrier ID, so O2___001 will be something like O2 UK and 002 might be something like O2 france, no difference in files, just different regions.

Make sure of a couple of things when flashing a custom ROM, check for problems other are having with it, by reading some of the later posts is what I always do, just a few pages, also and this is a must, read the OP's flashing instructions, so many people bypass this step, the most important step is to make sure your using the dev's recommended custom recovery for flashing.
I always full wipe before flashing anything, so in TWRP first factory reset, and then goto wipe - advanced - select everything except your internal storage and SDcard, and then always reboot back into recovery after the wipes before flashing the rom, it will nag you and say you have no OS installed, ignore it and Do Not Intall to SuperSU, the custom rom flash will do that for you.
During the rom installation, again I always select full wipe when given the option, you then know you have a clean slate to build the rom on.

Your firmware is already current, and should work with latest ARHD. Blinkfeed not showing image is a known issue reported by others.
No need to mess with RUUs or firmware zips.

Htc M8, confused, want to update to marshamallow

Hello I bought M8 from somebody, it is unbranded European model i think, phone is rooted and carrier unlocked as im using it in asia. it comes with android 5.0.1, I want to update to stock marshmallow for this variant. I have been trying to do on my own but it only confused me more. Im not sure if i have custom rom or if because im rooted, because At the time moment it doesnt offer any software updates from the main menu.
Some info abt phone.
Its model id at back is Op6B100,
Android version 5.0.1
Software number 4.18.708.12
Build number 4.18.708.12
In the bootloader menu I have
Software status: Official
Locked ( i think it means bootloader)
M8_UL PVt SHIp s-off
Cid-11111111 (but if I check with cidgetter it says t-mob010). So it confused me because according to its model its supposed to be european model but in fastboot it says 11111111.
HBoot 3.19.0.0000
I dont have twrp installed.
So please tell me where to go from here. I want to either from here go direct to stock android 6 for this M8 variant or go back to stock condition and get ota update. I prefer to lose the root. So please tell me which stock firmware I need, and do I need to change cid, remove root, before that? Also i would like not to brick my device in process.. Thanks.
Also my device is carrier unlocked at the moment so Im hoping this shouldn't affect that. Thanks

First you need to change MID to EU
Then install EU marshmallow RUU

Read the guide again .. you need htc_fastboot not normal fastboot.
At the end of the guide it shows 2 other methods on how to install RUU zip. Pick one thar you think it is easier for you.
