What sense version do you want in result: 4+ or 5?
Did you update your phone via OTA earlier?
Post bootloader error here, please. Looks like your bootloader is updated and do not match requirements to flash RUU from Hutchison.

1.- i dont know what is better, if 4+ or 5.
2.- in fact the phone was updated by other person, i don't know what he did :/
3.- let me flash ruu again and post bootloader error.
if it's usefull, it has Team Win Recovery Project v2.4.1.0 installed.
thanks for reply

Well, looks like firmware\hboot was updated and latest RUU for your CID requires older firmware\hboot.
So, you can't use old RUU to go back to stock.
You need to flash stock ROM for 1.39 hboot from recovery
Try to find ROM like this one, but older: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970&highlight=*stock*
I guess you need to search 3.18 or 3.20 version, don't remember wwich one will work with 1.39

ok, i'll search it.
thank you sir, i'll let you know the results.

one more question, can i use this method posted here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927048
exactly this:
Nand for H3G__106 - thanks to Jackster88
Part 1
Part 2
Quote:
Instructions:
***For this nand to work you need HBOOT 1.39 and cwm***
1) go into fastboot and enter "fastboot oem lock" - the device will reboot
2) go into fastboot again and enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - there will be a black screen with a silverish HTC logo
3) enter "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (you need the firmware.zip from page 1 for this)
3a) enter the same again, the green bar under the logo should go to 100% (either after the first or second time)
4) enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to go back to your fastboot
5) unlock your device again with the unlock code ("fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin")
6) Restore your old boot.img (fastboot flash boot name_of_boot_file.img) and recovery (fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img), make sure you copied them from the nandroid backup folder we created earlier into the folder that contains the fastboot.exe you're using.
7) Reboot and you should now have Hboot 1.39 with your old boot and recovery.
(8) If it won't work we still have the backup ready to restore the old system, Hboot isn't changeable right now on S-ON devices outside of the RUU routine - so even if you restore your nandroid you should still have Hboot 1.39 now)
Confirmed working with H3G__001, H3G__003, H3g__G04

yes, you can try this method
except, I guess you need not flash firmware, because you are already on 1.39

[Problem] With Unroot, OTA update and Version-main not showing

First of all , Hi everyone ! And please excuse my english, it's not my native language... (wich is French)
I did not want to brick my HTC One (m8) so i went here before to do something wrong.
I received my phone the first august and I rooted it 5 days ago, when it was in kitkat 4.4.2. I did not know that i had to update it to 4.4.3 (even if every man in earth should use his brain and do the update) before to root it.... (because now i can't install custom rom to use link2sd efficiently because all of the best custom rom (that actually use .ext partition on Micro Sd card) are in android kitkat 4.4.3 or 4.4.4)
I know that this question has been asked several times but i did not find the answer for my problem, so i'm really sorry to ask this but i have to.
Okay I rooted my htc when it was in 4.4.2 with TheUnlockr methode on youtube and since then the only things that I did is :
install busybox (twrp) , es explorateur, titanium backup, diskdigger,airdroid,apptoide,root checker, lucky patcher and clean master, NOTHING else.
Now i have to unroot my HTC to finally update it to 4.4.3
Problem is : when i do "getvar all" with hasoon200's toolkit (i'm following TheUnlockr's method to unroot the phone correctly), the field where i should find my version-main is EMPTY, and I absolutly don't know how to find it since I'm a total beginner on android.
My info : HTC ONE (m8)
Rooted with kitkat 4.4.2 (TWRP recovery)
actual software in : 1.54.401.10
cidnum: HTC__203
By any chance , can anyone help me ? THX 3000 times in advance since i'm totally lost !

That NOTHING else appears to include installing TWRP 2.7.1.x, which is where the problem lies, I don't know how to get it back, other than to reflash the firmware... Catch 22 if you don't know what it is.
Perhaps narrow down with a search of MID, CID and radio version.

Sorry man i did not understand
Here is what i have got when I do a getvar :
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main:

FIRST: you should delete your IMEI from your post above!
Second: it is a known issue with TWRP that, after installing it version-main is no longer shown in bootloader, as already statet in this thread.
If what you wrote is correct you are on 4.4.2 with FW 1.54.401.10.
To unroot you could search for the unsupersu.zip and install it with TWRP.
After this you can download stock recovery 1.54.401.10 (assuming you data is correct and you are on the given Android version. This should enable you to receive AND install OTAs again.
The problem is, that without S-Off it is not that easy to flash the actuall FW again.

Okay i managed to S-OFF.
Do i follow the Unlocker way now or do I just use the unsuperuser from X site ?
Is it sure that i have to download the 1.54.401.10 stock firmware ? cause noone of these are with the htc_203
Thx verrry much in advance guys !

Ok you are S-Off and got 4.4.2 with ROM version 1.54.401.10 installed right!?
If so install the unsupersu.zip in TWRP and download firmware for ROM version 1.54.401.10. After you installed the unsupersu.zip reboot to bootloader and run the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip nameoffirmware.zip
DO IT AGAIN TO FLASH IT CORRECTLY!!!
fastboot flash nameoffirnware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Make sure OS is showing in Hboot. HBoot should be 3.16 and radio 1.16 if I remember correctly.
Congrats you are back to full stock. Reboot phone and check for OTA.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

The bug within TWRP has been identified, a fix has been submitted to the Gerrit of TWRP and it was also already verified and accepted.
The Next update of TWRP for the M7 and M8 should include it, if it's being build from the main tree.

This isn't even a similar issue as the OP, and this thread is 2 months old. Really shouldn't have dug up this old thread and posted to it. A different thread, or starting your own would have been more relevant.
Rooted phones still get the OTA notfication and download, they just won't install if it detects any system files have been modified.
Also, relocking the bootloader is not necessary to get the OTA or install.
Something else is going on. If you are stock ROM and stock reocvery, thre is no reason you shouldn't get and be able to install the OTA. Sometimes a factory reset will prompt the OTA to come through, for no explicable reason.

You should check around the forums to see if your specific version has had 4.4.4 rolled out. But I know most (if not all) Euro versions have been updated by now.

Your issue is no more urgent than anyone else here, that takes the time to post to an appropriate thread.

Seeking quick answers and not researching anything will always lead to more issues and maybe serious ones.

H3G__001 stock lollipop nandroid

Hi im trying to update to lollipop on my 3 UK branded m8 but im having serious issues upgrading to 4.4.4 eye experience version 3.32.771.3 was wondering if anyone has or could get a nandroid of the stock 4.20.771.2 ROM. I can see an OTA in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 but I have no idea how to use those OTA files. Any help would be appreciated.

Post your fastboot getvar all result (minus serial no. & imei no.)
then we know which backup that you really need.
No point to give you 4.20.771.2 backup for now.

cool thanks. I tried your nandroid backup and it starts up fine but I cant connect to my wifi network. It sees the network but it wont connect. It does allow me to connect to another open network I can see but not my own. This happened on one of the stock updates I did too. Any ideas why this might be? or how it might be fixed?

There are two options :
1. Restore 3.32.771.10 backup and its stock recovery image then do OTA to 4.20.771.2
You can have all the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55322461&postcount=1897
Or
2. Reflashed the untouched 4.20.771.2 firmware that linked here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58781201&postcount=4598
but you need to relock bootloader in order to do that.
a. put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode
b. relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
c. run these commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 4.20.771.2_firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip 4.20.771.2_firmware.zip .....( again for the 2nd time)
fastboot reboot
d. check your wifi
For me .. 1st option is a better choice

so I tried option 2 first and that didnt work Then I tried option 1. Flashing 3.32.... worked ok wifi working etc. I then did the OTA that popped up. That flashed and it boots up but system ui force closes and wifi doesnt turn on at all Is there anyway to flash your OTA update specifically and avoid downloading and flashing the one that pops up on screen?

You can't flash OTA manually because your device is S-On.
When you have system ui force close and wifi doesn't turn on at all ... that's a good sign.
What you need to do now is unlock bootloader again with unlock_code.bin that you received from HTC. Then install TWRP 2.8.5.0. Boot to TWRP recovery, select mount - advance - format data - yes
Reboot - check your wifi again - system ui should work and wifi should work too.
Then restore my 4.20.771.2 backup (reason is when re-unlock bootloader and format data .. all data files such as calculator & flashlight & etc are removed)
EDIT : before you do the above, please try boot to recovery where you see the red triangle .. press & hold volume up & press power once.
In stock recovery, select factory reset/wipe data ... reboot

before I saw your message I did a factory rest from stock recovery as you suggested in your edit and system ui force close was fixed and wifi does turn on... but im back to the problem of not being able to connect to my wifi network. I've managed to connect to 2 separate open (public) networks fine but cant connect to mine for some reason. I cant understand why this might be happening.
Thanks for all the help by the way really appreciate it!

That's something I'm not familiar with as I never have that problem before. I read a few thread of this kind of wifi problem .. there are a few suggestions such as reset the router, try change wifi password and a few more like 2.4GHz & 5.0 GHz problem
Maybe someone else more familiar with this kind of problem will step in.

I had a look around and came across this http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/g...llipop-solve-wi-fi-problems-on-nexus-devices/ where it suggests changing wifi router channel. I did and it works
Cant thank you enough dude. i've tried to thank all your posts to reflect how many thanks you deserve! At one point when one of the software updates went bad and the screen wouldnt turn on I was told HTC would charge around £200 to fix it! so yeah, thanks

Great :good::good:
Will keep that in mind in case someone else has same problem

Lost RUU backup
Hi I to am trying to revert back to stock on my HTC one M8 (Three UK H3g__00)1 but I have lost my original backups do to an hdd fail the RUU files you posted on here I believe I could have used but the links no longer work
My phone is in a bad way at the moment it is softbricked with the latest version of CWRM on and no OS currently installed, is this why my version main appears blank?
My phone has ended up in this state after trying to install the latest android revolution rom (5.0.1). The rom seemed to install ok booted and setup fine but my Wifi wouldn't turn ON at all. After I rebooted the phone for the first time it got stuck in a boot loop.
I deally would like to get lollipop on the phone and doing some reading I believe with the situation I'm in I have to go back to stock and do the OTA updates to raise my hboot version to 3.18 or above, that way I could install cyanogen 12.1
Apologies for noob question still learning.

Hi I to am trying to revert back to stock on my HTC one M8 (Three UK H3g__00)1 but I have lost my original backups do to an hdd fail the RUU files you posted on here I believe I could have used but the links no longer work
My phone is in a bad way at the moment it is softbricked with the latest version of CWRM on and no OS currently installed, is this why my version main appears blank?
My phone has ended up in this state after trying to install the latest android revolution rom (5.0.1). The rom seemed to install ok booted and setup fine but my Wifi wouldn't turn ON at all. After I rebooted the phone for the first time it got stuck in a boot loop.
I deally would like to get lollipop on the phone and doing some reading I believe with the situation I'm in I have to go back to stock and do the OTA updates to raise my hboot version to 3.18 or above, that way I could install cyanogen 12.1
Apologies for noob question still learning.
My bootloader (3.16) is tampered, unlocked and S-ON

Hi ckpv5, thanks I will give this a try now, I did try to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 recently but when I tried to enter the recovery it just hung and I never figured out why. I will give 2.8.1.0 a go now.
Last night, just to get my phone working I flashed on cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m8 with open_gapps-arm-4.4-mini-20151203. It all seemed to be working fine and I liked the look and feel of the KitKat cyanogenmod but after I received my first phone call my phone speaker went crazy and gave some nasty distortion out, I rebooted the phone to stop it and now I have the noise on everything if I turn my volume up to mid/high, I'm worried my speakers are damaged. I followed a couple of threads to install the viperapp but with no success, any ideas on this one?
Cheers,

Thanks
CHeers ckpv5 Ifollowed the guide used the files and its all sorted now.
Looks like CM11 has damaged my bottom speaker though i have ordered a replacement.
I do have 1 last question, after all the updating i have now put cm12.1 on and it seems to be running ok however when im booted into the OS my SD card is not being detected. If i drop back into TWRP recovery it does recognise the SD card, any ideas? im searching for a solution now.

I can't comment anything on CM as I never use one .. no experience on CM .. sorry.

[Q] HTC M8 Wifi problems on several Roms -HELP!

I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I have.
My htc M8 was rooted and insertcoin was flashed onto it however the wifi button greyed out and wouldnt turn on in order to s-off it. I tried several different roms and they all have the same problem. I am currently running skydragon v5. I have been trying to sort this phone out for a week and I am getting absolutely nowhere so any help would be appreciated. It's on ORANG001 and is s-on.
Thanks

You have old firmware. You need to have 4.19.61.2 on ORANG001 in order to have wifi on these ROM.
And you post this in wrong section.

Apologies, new to the forum it's been moved now!

Yeah .. requested it to be moved to correct section.
So .. you need to restore your stock ROM and do OTA up to 4.19.61.2
What's your current firmware version .. 3.33.61.9 or 2.26.61.1 ? Or even lower ?
Check what's written on bootloader - hboot 3.16 or 3.18 .. you need 3.19

That's a very low version ... you need to restore to stock backup 1.54.61.5
But I deleted my TWRP backup for most 1.xx.xxx.x only keep 2.x; 3x & 4x
There is someone else backup made with Philz recovery so you need to download Philz recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
then download the backup : https://mega.co.nz/#!WhwRmSoJ!QJxmI0gYj7t_0Hc4fMKx0XLYQ2n45S3OfrEcDRS3C-s
restore that backup with the stock recovery (included in that backup if I'm not wrong)
then do multiple OTA

Okay cheers for your help!

I was trying to adb push the firmware to my phone to then install it on Recovery but when im typing "adb devices" it says list of devices attached then it is blank. I have been trying to search for solutions but I cant seem to fix it. If you have any advice it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone got an idea?

This is usually an issue on the computer's side (PC?). Try to re-install HTC drivers, try another USB port, or another cable. Also, if you have USB 3.0, this is known to cause issues with adb connectivity (apparently, you can disable this).
Also, you need to be booted into OS or in recovery for adb to work (does not work in bootloader) and you need to have USB debugging activated in Settings.
And when you say "firmware" I think you mean a nandroid backup, based on the instructions previously given to you? Be careful using the term "firmware" here, as most folks use that term to specifically mean the firmware.zip that contains hboot, radio etc. (but not ROM).

Don't you have a MicroSD ? Put the extracted nandroid on MicroSD at the right location clockworkmod\backups\ is easier than doing that ADB push.

Okay finally got the nandroid backup installed. Then when i tried to install the OTA update it took me to CWM and failed. So i then relocked and tried again to update OTA and it took me to the bootloader with a ***Relocked*** and *** Security Warning*** any ideas ?

You need to re-install the stock recovery in order to OTA. Bootloader lock has nothing to do with it (will OTA with unlocked bootloader).

I have installed the Nandroid backup mentioned above to stock i believe. Is this the correct step or is this still not stock ? it was 1.54.61.5

Stock ROM backup and stock recovery are two different things.
You need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to replace the CWM that you have now. Inside the backup zip, there is a recovery.img .. take this out and fastboot flash it.
You need to unlock bootloader to flash it.

when using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using the recovery.img from the unzipped nandroid folder the process runs and it says okay with no errors then when i try go into recovery the red triangle and exclamation mark appear again

Yes that's stock recovery. Perform the ota now

Because that is stock recovery. You don't need to get into recovery.
Just reboot, check OTA, download then select install.
Let the system do the installation on its own

[q] Htc one m8s (qul), can't seem to boot

Hi guys,
After a lot of reading and searching without any luck, this seems the last resort for me. This is the problem.
A week ago or so, I got the marshmallow update on my Phone, htc one m8s. Before this update, i managed to do a custom recovery and root etc. Then I heard about the update and installed an RUU again, restoring the Phone back to stock (renamed RUU zip to 0PKVIMG and copied that into my sd card; after that the stock recovery went all fine).
After the marshamallow update, I tried to do custom recovery again. Somehow it didnt work and i couldnt get the custom recovery working. It flashed fine, booted the img, but wouldnt start the recovery. I tried different varriants of twrp etc. Nothing worked. So that is problem number 1.
The second problem is, dat I think is that I have used a wrong version of recovery boot. Now the Phone wont start after the bootlogo.
The third is, that I cant install stock again, using the method above. I am getting the message; device halted due to large image (...) etc.
Can someone help me please? I would just be happy getting back to stock and be able to use my device again.
Thank you in advance.

First - edit & delete the imei no. from your post.
Your problem is more or less is the same as this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-one-m8-wont-update-boot-to-recovery-t3385874
Read thru that thread .. the only difference is you need to find 2.10.401.1 firmware.zip
Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245 to see whether you can find the 2.10.401.1 firmware.zip there
* I requested moderator to move your thread to M8s section.

Thanks for your reply! I changed the info.
I really canty find the 2.10.401.1 firmware.zip for m8s. I can find for m9 etc. So I am stuck here. Maybe you know where to find it?
Thanks in advance!

You can find it in the 2nd link that I gave above. It's an OTA zip, you need to extract out the firmware.zip from the 2.10.401.1 OTA.
I can help to upload for you so you don't need to download the whole 1.2 gb OTA for a few mb firmware.zip but you have to wait when I'm home in next 3 hours.

Thank you! I managed to flash it via sdcard.
Now I want to do a custom recovery and root the device. What would be the right recovery for this device and how can I check that myself in the future?
Thanks in advance.

Great that you fixed your main problem.
About custom recovery and how to root I think it's best you check the thread that I linked earlier - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245
Reason is I don't have this device, only M8 not M8s.
Main thing is use only recovery meant for M8s which you can find a few versions there and install SuperSU.zip that you can get from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Thanks dude, you helped me out a lot with this. My Phone is working now with custom recovery and rooted. Just one last question, so I can finally rest my case.
So getting back to stock, is just flashing the whole OTA file again via sd card i.e. 0PKVIMG or flashing it with fastboot, with the instructions u mentioned above right? Doest it matter whether the devices is unlocked and do i have to flash stock recovery again? or flashing the firmware does the work to gain stock recovery again?

No ... that's wrong.
You should have made a non-rooted stock nandroid backup with the custom recovery before you root it. Just restore the backup and install stock recovery to return to stock.
Anyway .. maybe later, there will be RUU for your version. Always check that thread of RUU collection.
