Hello. I have a problem. Namely I've tried to unblock my HTC Wildfire s but I still have to update my rom version which is already on my phone. The problem is that none of these versions available on htcdec are not compatible with the version that was already installed on my phone. Is there any way of updating? I Would be grateful if someone could explain me what should I use? I've seen many websites and I still can't fix my problem.

you have android 2.3.3 strange.its very old.try to update your phone by OTA.then you will get new version which is 2.26 so you no need to update your rom version via htcdev (you can skip that part) and then unlocked bootloader easily and then root your phone.
for OTA. go to system settings>about phone>software updates and update your phone.

oh little confuse because htc released 2.3.5 update in 2011 i think after i bought my phone and also htc released one another update in 2012 for software.
so if you owned wildfire s,it should be updated. try to do factory reset and then might it ll update.give it a shot.
without update you can't root your phone because htc unlocked phones which have atleast firmware 2.13 (android 2.3.5).
good luck
I made factory reset, it helps, phone update it self to 2.3.5 and now i gave him a new life with CM .
Thanks for helping

you dont need to update your hboot.its already updated i guess.
check your software number in phone its like 2.26.401.3 okay.
when you go to htcdev you should skip that part because your phone has latest 2.26 update..that bootloader update part is only for who have 2.13 software version.

"Variant system" (and resulting update failure) usually means you have some degree of the following modifications on the phone: unlocked (relocked) bootloader, root, custom ROM or wrong stock ROM, s-off, modified CID/MID, wrong stock recovery.
To determine what was done to the phone (and how to proceed in fixing it), we would need the info requested in the previous response. Plus you should do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Nothing by HTC is USA made, there are made in Taiwan. You mean its a US carrier branded version, but that isn't enough info to help. We'll still need your CID and MID as it shows up in fastboot getvar data.

Do you have fastboot access? Try another USB post, another cable. And for fastboot, you need to be in bootloader-fastboot mode (fastboot doesn't work in OS, recovery or "regular" bootloader mode).

some sellers sell refurbished devices(sinners). I think your device is such a device. what is the model printed on back side? I think mostly it may be OP6B100. really your device is a reassembled device. don't forget to check imei when you buy a phone from someone else than an authorized dealer. your device is made for USA(verizon one m8). however you can't go to lollipop as your software version isn't matching firmware.
you can flash a verizon stock rom. go to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473

Software Version = 3.31.512.2, The device is a LRA variant. Verizon For rural network. Some where I read that flashing a verizon RUU with rcdata.img will brick the device network. There was a Lollipop update available for this device 4.21.512.4. Once he updates to that, its enough to install TWRP and some custom ROM based on Marshmallow. But since his device bootloader shows verizon variant OS no, little bit confused with that. Any senior member should get into this.

ho ho your device is like, head is Japanese body is German (joke). your back housing is sprint & your MB is verizon. however it is not important. maybe it is a test device. don't worry about that.
your device is M8_WLV (verizon)
os 3.28.605.4 (i don't mean software number in software information)
i used m8 device at first like yours.

verizon maybe a rural network but their devices can be used globally. but we can't get optimal network performance. but it is not disturbing to use device normally.

As stock rom didn't flash, software number & os number don't match. that means 512 has installed by a twrp backup. but firmware is 605. reason for that is; if it installs 605, boot screen totally differs to verizon. also verizon apps will be installed. as it is a problem to sell, 512 has installed. do you have same device? has some carrier apps installed in your device?

You have same device as @Aravindhan Leo, it is a LRA. Flashing verizon firmware and RUU .. you won't get SIM connection due to carrier specific rcdata.
I'm away on holiday until 15/7, so won't be active on XDA but you can read this thread, there are discussion on how to install correct RUU for your device and how to update to the latest.

htc M8
Hi Arvind,
I bought my htc m8 from ebay india and it was in Android 4.4.4(kitkat) and changed it to lollipop (5.0.1) by reading one your threads in June'16 by your
steps that you have summarized as below:-
Steps :
1. Download the RUU. Change the file name to 0P6BIMG.zip.
2. Keep the RUU file in the root of External SD card. ( Dont keep it inside any folder )
3. Take a backup of all your personal data. The RUU will erase the whole Internal Memory and System Configuration.
4. Switch of Device. ( Press power and volume - button ) This will get you to Bootloader Screen.
5. The system automatically detects the file. If not Press Fastboot manually. Press Install. ( Volume + for Yes, Volume - for No )
6. Now the system starts Installing the RUU.
7. Hold on for sometime until the process ends and prompts you to press power button for Reboot. ( Dont press any buttons while the system installs the RUU )
8. Now the system takes 2-5 min to Reboot. It may take longer sometime.
9. Now you can end up seeing Lollipop 5.0.1 setup screen.
After that my system info was
android version=5.0.1
sense version=-6.0
software version=4.21.512.4
htc sdk api level 6.55
pri version-2.87_002
prl version-00000
kernal version 3.4.0-gda51a6a [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version-1.12.20.1211
build number-4.21.512.4 CL470008 release-keys
But after that I had an update, i tried downloading but it does not allow me to upgrade. Then i tried downloading a ADB bootloader file and from command promt tried changing my SUPERCID 11111111 to LRA__001. it changed but still I am not able to upgrade and it shows the same error Variant System Error. Kindly help me.

It would need to be a custom ROM which supports the Verizon M8, or you would need to flash a Verizon kernel after flashing the ROM.
Even then, since your firmware is outdated (pre-6.0) you will probably suffer major issues like no boot or extreme long boot time, and broken WiFi, audio issues, etc.
I would suggest update by RUU. But I'd hesitate to give any specific advice without more details about the phone (it could be catastrophic in your case). Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Hello,
I tried last year rooting my HTC m8 bought and used in China, I discovered that all rooting software were not compatible with my particular build and kernel.
Now, without Google play and any update of Android I feel quite limited and I would try back to root my phone.
Specs are:
Serial Number of Device: HC451WM00835
Software Number on Device : 1.0.0.M8t
Radio Version : 1.23.213311231.14G
Current Bootloader Lock Status: M8_TL PVT SHIP S-ON
Hboot Version from HBoot Screen : 3.19.0.0000
Do you know if there's any chance nowadays to root it?
Thank you,
Lorenzo
