[Q] European Nandroid on Latin America HTC

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC One M8 purchased on Colombia unlocked, here is the info:
(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.16.2133156.UA15G

all: Done!
finished. total time: 0.007s
As you can see, my CID is "HTC_332" and my version-main: 1.57.599.1. I installed a custom recovery (TWRP) and I forgot to backup my stock recovery now I can't receive OTA updates (doubting that I receive something as my phone is from Latin America...).
The thing is I have download a 1.54.401.10 nandroid backup and also the 1.54.401.10 stock recovery (both from Europe), my phone has bootloader unlock and S-ON. I was able to do a restored from a nandroid backup and also flash the stock recovery (also both from Europe). After this my phone is working just fine, still on my bootloader shows "TAMPERED" and "Unlocked".
Well my question is this, after doing this am I going to be able to receive OTA's updates even if my phone has CID from Latin America (htc_332) ?
It is going to affect something because I flashed an Europe Firmware and stock recovery on my phone?
What is the difference between Firmware 1.57.599.1 and 1.54.401.10? (which one is better or which one you guys recommend?)
Thanks in advance for any info.

You will receive OTA but it will fail the verification and you won't be able to install it.
What you have now is same as you flash a custom ROM. No working OTA for your device.
You can only do OTA with your own stock ROM and stock Recovery.

Thank you for the Quick respond, is there a way to get the stock recovery for my version-main: 1.57.599.1?
What about if I change my CID to SuperCID will be able to receive OTA updates with the European Stock ROM?

I don't see anywhere stock recovery 1.57.599.1, only see one backup.
You can only change to SuperCID when your device is S-Off.
To receive and install European OTA, you need S-Off then change to any EU CID (a few of them) or SuperCID and change your MID currently 0P6B16000 to 0P6B10000

Thank you for your answer, well I was trying to make my phone S-OFF but Firewater is not working on my phone, error message ("Remember the golden rule, never take OTA"...) for some reason is not taking it, any Ideas?

Hi Folks,
I just S-OFF my HTC One M8, Change my MID to 0P6B10000 install a stock rom (1.54.401.10) and also its Stock Recovery. After that I remove the tampered and the unlock notification, I ran the "Check Update"and SCORE!!! I receive an OTA Update. Now my question is this: If I change my MID to the Unlocked one (0P6B12000) Do I will receive OTAS anyways? (even if my bootloader is unlocked and my phone is rooted)
Thanks again.

IMEI is personal information, and you do NOT want it posted on the internet. You really should delete it from the first post.

I didn't knew it, thanks for advice me... as you guys might see, my English is not really good,IMEI Deleted.!
So, can I switch to the Unlocked MID version from European MID version and still receive OTA's? (rememeber, my bootloader is Unlocked and My phone is rooted)
Thanks again.

You will be, as long as MID, CID and stock ROM (as well as FW of course) you installed all match each other, as those things are what the OTA server is going to check and match.

Your MID don't has to be changed, as it is the HTC WWE MID. and with superCID you definitely will receive OTA.
HTC WWE is in fact the best MID you could have, as far as I can imagine

[HELP] Wanted to unroot, tried a procedure and many problems. Please help.

Hello guys, so today i decided to unroot my phone and go back to stock because i want to sell it. I started doing theunlockr.com method (http://theunlockr.com/2014/06/08/how-to-unroot-the-htc-one-m8-video/) in the step of flashing stock nandroid backup, i flashed it using TWRP restore utility, then i didnt find any folder in the gallery and there was around 5 out of 16 GB avaialible only, so i did a "fromat data", since it erases everything, i pushed the firmware 4.16.401.10 using ADB into the TWRP folder (it wasnt there so i created a backup and there i found it). Then i restored the nandroid backup, now there are 4.5GB used which i cant find and some folders still dont appear in file manager... and i have wifi issues, it doesnt connect to wifi and neither does mobile data work. I need help as soon as possible. ANy help is MUCH apprecciated. Than you guys. and if there is any other way to completely unroot hope someone would help.
PS, i am planning to flash stock recovery, its just i want to fix the current problemss then i can flash stock recovery and lock the bootloader.

Need more info. Do an adb getvar all, but remember to delete your IMEI and serial number (those are personal data) before you post the output.

thats what i got

The easiest way to go back to stock is to run the appropriate RUU.
Download this RUU onto your PC.
When the download if finished, hook your phone up to your PC and double click on the download.
Follow the prompts.
Super easy.
This will bring you back to stock including your stock recovery. It will also wipe your phone.

Thank you so much for your help, i will try this as soon as the download finishes. Is the normal M8 S-OFF or S-ON? and if it is either one, how do i change it? Because i want to go exactly back as it was in order to sell it.
Thanks again for your help ^_^

You are already S-On, and will remain that way.
The only differences from the day you bought it will be that the bootloader is unlocked, and the the stock ROM is the latest Android version (5.0.1 Lollipop instead of 4.4.2 Jellybean), just as it would be if you had remained stock and updated through the OTA updates from HTC and your carrier.

Without S-Off (which costs $25), you can only set it to re-locked status and not locked, so I wouldn't bother.

Hey,
I was wondering how I could check which RUU I have to download,
I have some problems as well, and am hoping this will fix it.

From your getvar. Hook up to your PC, get into ADB, and enter adb getvar all.
Post the readout here. Edit out your IMEI and serial# from it first. That is private information that you should never post on a public forum.
EDIT: I saw your bootloader readout in the thread you started. There is no RUU available for your device (Vodafone) that I am aware of. Sorry.

fastboot oem lock , then run the RUU again.

Recovering to Sense - Which is the right ROM ?

The Phone is from UK/Virgin Mobile, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed this ROM unaware that my banking app would stop working.
I did the mistake not to make a backup before flashing the custom ROM, I would like to recover to stock but I'm not sure how to go about it,
I tried using RUU_M8_WHL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.25.651.14_Radio_1.09.20.0209_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_426232_signed_2 2 which I downloaded here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html but it failed ( ERROR [132]: Signature Error ).

Virgin Mobile US is not the same as Virgin in the UK. Wrong CID, and that is the reason for signature fail.
Further, Virgin US is a subsidiary of Sprint, which is a CDMA carrier and the Sprint version of the M8 is CDMA. Even if the RUU ran, it would probably brick your phone.
I don't think your CID has an official RUU. Restore the stock nandroid (4.16.401) for your CID from the following thread (instruction on how to do so in Post #3 of the linked thread, under Questions & Answer): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

I see, thank you. I actually already looked at this thread before but the file "4.16.401.10 - TWRP Thanks to sneakyghost" is offline.

Nope. It clearly says s-off required in the thread. And you need a working OS to get s-off.

The OS (Skydragon's GPE) is working but I want to go back to stock. I really don't want to spend the money on Sunshine tbh though, unless it's my only option.

Ah yes. Helping too many people at the same time, I got you mixed up.
Someone posted the RUU to the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61527304&postcount=5393
Looks like the official RUU.exe, but I can't personally vouch for it.

WiFi issues since flashing latest ARHD

I followed the instructions fine and never hit a snag, upgrading from Android 4.4.4 stock but rooted to the latest ARHD running Android 5.0.1. I'm not sure if the issue is related to the lollipop update or the rom but once my phone screen locks I lose my WiFi connection. I can go into WiFi and see the available networks, select my one and click connect but nothing happens, the only way to get WiFi working again is to restart the phone which is becoming really frustrating. I have tried forgetting the network then re adding it too but the issue remains. Anyone else had this problem or know of a fix?
On a less annoying note when iIstart up it first acts like it's loafing bootloader with the red text at the bottom of the screen then restarts itself and boots fine.

Your HTC is WWE and your bootloader is at 3.19 so i suggest to restore a stock backup from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3086860
Take the 4.16.401.10, that will work. And if you also put back the stock recovery you can also perform official OTA updates.
READ the opening post very carefully as its very good explained !

1.22 radio - firmware 3xxxx
Hboot 3.19 - firmware 3xxx - 4xxxx
Restore backup 3xxx

Im now back to stock, running the latest firmware - no more updates available and though it was fixed but the wifi has just dropped out and had to restart to get it back (I can see the network it just will not connect). Does this mean it is a Lollipop issue?

Post the current getvar all.
Also, you should delete the serial number from your last getvar all (and the new one, of course) as that is personal info.
You may need to OTA again. I think some OTAs had WiFi broken, even on fully stock devices; and it was fixed on a subsequent OTA.

If you restore a backup 4xx10 and made Ota to 4xx13 he did not update the firmware. Must restore the backup 3xxx and make ota. This will solve the problems with wifi.

I was thinking along those lines (why I asked for updated getvar data) as the radio number indicates 3.xx firmware.
But I am surprised up updated at all, with the improper (old) firmware.

I do not see any other reason malfunction wifi, in addition to hardware failure.
The last ota was not large, so it may be that it could be downloaded. Let's wait author may write off something that already everything is running or not

Rooted HTC One m8 Lollipop to Marshmallow

Hi. I read up on various threads and could not find the correct tutorial or method for this?
My HTC One m8 is rooted, unlocked, S-On, and running Lollipop with a GPE ROM.
I would like to upgrade to Marshmallow.
What is the easiest method to do so? No thread I've stumbled upon appears to be what I am looking for, but then again I'm awful at this stuff and also just kind of cautious because I've run into many issues in this kind of work and I just want to make sure I am on the right path.
Thanks, everyone.

So download Sneaky's batch tool here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934536408
Then install it and then run htc_fastboot getvar all
Then report back

Did you root the phone yourself? If so, you should have ADB on your PC.
Plug your phone into your PC, get into ADB
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot getvar all

Download Windows, 7,8,10. Install bootcamp, install windows, reboot, setup windows, install sneaky's tool. Then pay Ed in beer.

How did you unlock your bootloader before ? You should already have fastboot.
Open terminal, type ./fastboot getvar all
If you need fastboot/adb for mac, try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390995

You need to have the latest firmware from OMJ here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

As mentioned, my phone is S-ON, and the link warns that in order to flash the latest firmware, I need to be S-OFF.
Is there another way?
If you're going to tell me I need S-OFF, I should mention I have tried, countless times and hours, to achieve S-OFF, with my friends too, and we just could not manage to get my phone to S-OFF.
So an S-ON method would be awesome.

You have the latest firmware available which according to Captain Throwback you should be able to flash his MM ROM and it should boot just fine.

Excellent. Thank you!
So, to refresh my memory:
1. Download the ROM on my Mac
2. Put my phone into bootloader and connect USB
3. Wipe everything?
4. Flash the ROM
5. Success?

Yep, but do not flash the SU in recovery if it asks if you want to. It will cause you to lose root, if the ROM you are using already has a patched kernel for root.

Hi guys,
will this method work also with build number 4.16.401.10?? My Phone is also rooted, unlocked, s-on and at time running Revolution HD 43.0.
Is it in enough to Boot in recovery (TWRP) and do a Clean install? Or will i have problems with my root Access? Thank u very much!
