Telstra OTA updates. Loosing wifi after flashing - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,..
I've searched and searched and searched to fix my problem and i'm hoping someone could help me out.
I have an Telstra Htc One m8 that i rooted and i had taken a backup with TWRP but i didnt backup recovery.
I had put Skydragon rom on and wanted to go back to the 4.4.4 backup. I flashed and everything was ok but i wanted to make sure i could get OTA updates so i flash an 4.4.2 backup. When i boot it tells me theres and update available and upon reboot after update i loose the wifi and cant turn it on.
I read about recoveries needing to match but ive tried different recoveries and have no luck. I'm not even sure if an update that arrives if i go back to 4.4.4 will work.
I would like to be sure they will as thats why ive gone to the 4.4.2. Here are some details i got after the 4.4.2 update

I think you can use the a recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

I just flashed the following
1. 1.12.841.17 2014-04-12--20-30-03 KOT49H release-keys
2. TELSTRA_1.12.841.17_recovery
It all works on reboot but when i update to the 1.54.841.8 ota update the wifi stops working.
This is what it shows now.

Do i need to lock bootloader before uploading?

I had the same issue when I restore an nandroid for Vodafone branded. After the 1st OTA lost WiFi, downloaded the 2nd on LTE network. After that OTA I had WiFi again.

I tried that and downloaded the 4.4.2-4.4.3 update over LTE and still failed

Could I be correct in thinking that the recovery is still that of 4.4.4 and has never changed

Solved issue

is this a known bug or something else ?
thanks in advance
Yes its because of a custom recovery "bug". Reflash the (original) firmware and check for the changed TWRP recovery which should fix that the main doesn't disappear
oh thanks....
since i noticed that you are the O.P of this thread that i was reading before discovering the bug Collection of Stock Backups
let me ask another question, can i just put one of those stock backups on my sdcard and flash it trough philz recovery?
i'm on 1.54.401.5 Root S-OFF and unlocked bootloader
i want to flash this "2.22.401.5 - CWM Philz touch Thanks to MATRIKS"
is it correct ?

From what I read, I need to install the proper recovery, relock and then update. Problem is, I can't find the proper number for my version. I read I can use a lower number but when I tried it told me it failed security signature. Any help would be appriciated.
Should I just go to a custom 4.4.4 like pac or paranoid? Not my first android just never seen this issue but then again, only usually did this after support stopped on my phones.
You need a stock recovery and stock rom to flash the OTA.
Try to flash stock recovery for your CID and retry

You can also grab the stock recovery.img from the OTA that you downloaded. Instead of "installing" it select "install later" and copy the OTA.zip to computer(you can find OTA.zip in downloads folder on internal storage). You can then extract the ota.zip, inside it you'll find the firmware.zip, extract that one and inside the firmware.zip you'll find the stock recovery.img. Sounds like a lot of effort but it's pretty simple...
If you're planning on going to 4.4.4 custom ROM it should probably be an AOSP one and not Sense based. You'll need 4.4.4 firmware to have sense based ROMs work correctly, if you don't have it then y ou'll have issues with radio(bluetooth, wifi, data etc) not working. As far as I know that problem doesn't occur with AOSP but I'm not willing to bet anything on it
Thanks guys. Think I posted too soon. Relocked phone before flashing proper recovery. Working on that now.
Will give both methods a try.
Edit: took the recovery update, relocked and did the ota. All is great Thanks again.

Relocking the bootloader is not necessary to install OTA.

[Q] Wifi cannot be enabled

Long story short, I updated to a lollipop ROM recently with no issues flashing, but in the new ROM when I attempt to turn on the wifi, it grays out the button as if pressed and then does nothing and stays off. I have s-off and am running CWRM v6.0.4.8. I've googled around and read that it may be tied to firmware incompatability, however my camera app and all other apps on the phone work fine. Before flashing to lollipop I was running kitkat. Did I forget to update something? Carrier is Verizon.

Might try flashing the FW again. Or reflashing the ROM. Maybe even a cache/dalvik cache wipe would fix it too.

How do I update to Marshmallow on a rooted Bell HTC One M8?

I realize this is probably asked fairly often, but I did try to find the answer myself. So I thank you and apologize in advance.
In any case, I've been using lollipop for some time on my M8 now. It is rooted and S-On. As a result, I can't simply OTA up into Marshmallow. I bought this phone used, and I believe it was Bell, but I'm uncertain. I was hoping to update to Marshmallow (and keeping my files intact if that is at all possible), but am totally at a loss as to what I should be doing. For one, not a whole lot of threads about Bell, so I'm unsure what files I should be using, but beyond that if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
To get things started, my fastboot getvar all is:
Code:

You can unroot it within supersu app itself.
Then restore system & boot only from non-rooted 4.20.666.1 backup and keep your data, install 4.20.666.1 stock recovery.img. You'll receive OTA up to Marshmallow with your data intact.
You can have all those in my thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Thank you, everything worked out perfect, though it took a little longer than I thought it would. One issue though, it seems maybe the radio is weaker? I can't get to LTE most of the time in places I had no trouble with before.
For anyone going through the same thing, if Sense is crashing after your update, just go into settings, apps and clear out the data for Sense.
No idea about the radio matter .. maybe an updated fastboot getvar all can tell something if not correctly done.

It's definitely having some trouble getting up to LTE, but it does connect to LTE once in a blue moon so its not the APN or something stupid like that.

RUU flash failed, stuck in fastboot s-on, relocked

I've spent all day trying to get my M8 (Sprint)unrooted and back to stock. I followed countless tutorials that involved locking the bootloader then running the RUU installer. Everything usually works up until i have to use the RUU, which always fails. I've tried a ton of different versions that all say they're for the sprint m8 but they always have an error and say to get the correct rom or something like that.
Any help is much appreciated
