[Q] HBOOT for J_15

My Hboot is 1.39
and i wanted to know what is the latest Hboot for this CID
as i saw some guys here having the same CID and have Hboot v1.73
So can someone help before i screw up my phone ?
BTW i am currently with ARHD 31.3
Also , My stock backup is gone , so thats an issue and i didn't find a ruu for my phone.

Some hints :
Fastboot getvar version-main
That command gives you the nand number you need. Check in the general section for the nandroid backup collection. And restore the one you need if it's available for download. After restore you need to flash back the stock recovery and update. How to is described there too.
And yes there are updates waiting for you.
Cheers.
Ruu is not available indeed. And if there is no nand available just keep on using a sense 5 rom if you want. All current roms work on your 1.39 hboot.

If you wish to update the hboot, all u need to do is do a nandroid restore to 4.0.4 (which is available in this forum)..fastboot flash stock boot.img, and fastboot flash stock recovery.img and lastly relock the bootloader..then update your phone normally via OTA to get the latest rom and hboot..unlock and install custom roms...that's it...

And do NOT loose another stock backup again !
Edit :
Relocking the bootloader is not needed. The 1.29 and the 3.16 are available. The 1.29 is probably of no use because i don't think you find official ota with that anymore. The 3.16 may be of use but therefore we need your main. If your main is lower you cant use it either !
You can find them here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
@amirage where is the 4.0.4 ? I can't see it at this moment.....another thread ?
1.29 = 4.0.3
3.16 = 4.1.1

You see since you are S_OFF you can install wwe fw ie 1.54.401.5 and for ruu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
But remember your mid should be 0P6B10000 and cid should be HTC__001 or supercid.

Vodafone UK? What was the original CID and Version number? VODAP001 and x.xx.161.x ?
COLLECTION of Stock backup's has nandroid backups for both 1.12.161.17 and 1.54.161.5 . The stock recovery is also at that thread though it's only for the 1.54.161.5.
I see it's TWRP nandroid backups though, so hopefully you already have TWRP recovery on. Then just download the nandroid backups, unzip it into the SD card backup folder for TWRP i.e TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ Just replace serialnum with your device serial number and restore nandroid backup. It'll then take you to 1.54.161.5 if there's a new OTA for it then just apply and you have latest then. Just make sure to flash back stock recovery before you attempt OTA.

Yeah you can basically "convert" it to any though you probably won't always get the OTA updates. You'll probably have to end up flashing the OTA update's .zip file from within RUU. I think you'll be fine for OTA's if you do it for example, dev edition, unlock edition, international WWE version, they get updates from HTC itself, the carrier specific OTA's will probably have to be flashed. I say probably because I haven't converted to and from any carrier specific device myself.
But yeah, if you're S-OFF and supercid you can flash just about anything. Careful though... Else the next thread we'll be discussing in is "HELP!!! I THINK I BRICKED MY PHONE!!!!!!" :cyclops:

There is no need to change your MID unless you are planning to change over to a developer edition. Stock firmware already includes stock recovery. I don't see that you have stock ROM listed.

Oh, I thought you just wanted it back to stock to return for repairs. To receive OTA updates, I believe the CID of your phone must match the CID of the firmware/Stock ROM you are flashing. I don't believe you need to change the MID but it might not hurt. Flash Stock ROM first, the Firmware.

Thought I'd post in here seeing as I'm in the UK so get everything about ROM versions, etc...
There are no RUUs available for the M8 bar a few US carrier ones. It sucks but there are other way around it, and with you being S-OFF you have a lot of options. One is to convert the phone to 100% stock, EU, unbranded but Vodafone will then refuse repair so you'd be stuck paying for it. The other is to use the stock backups on here to go back to the Vodafone build, but if you've flashed a different FW build this will also fail repair if checked.
Regarding the MID, all EU handsets have the same one so you don't ever have to worry about changing it at any point
If you can find one of the Vodafone OTA updates I can knock something up for you but I don't remember seeing anyone posting one...

Firmware upgrade problem

Okay my original Cid is H3G__106 and I'm super Cid now, I downloaded htc 001 nandroid backup and changed my Cid to htc 001, as well looked for updates but the update fails in philz.
I need the newer firmware for the new viper rom. (4.4.3 base).
How can I get it?

Did you try to convert your device to international? MID and everything changed to International version? I'm not sure what the MID is for your device but if it's different than 0P6B10000 (International WWE) then it had to have been changed as well before you can convert to WWE version.
401.5 ? For what, 1.54.401.5 ... 2.22.401.5 ?
If you don't want to convert to International, rather go back download your backup from the collection thread and update your device to newest firmware from there.

The guides that I saw are for changing AT&T into Developer Edition or [GUIDE] S-OFF REQUIRED!! full conversion of GSM m8s to dev edition
Even though it's converting to a developer edition the philosophy behind it is the same when you change to WWE International version. Just use the correct backups, firmwares, MID and CID.
In step 1 you'll follow the thread and use the code for the HTC_Europe MID (0P6B10000).
For step 2 you'll just use HTC__001 as as the CID
Step 3 you'll grab the nandroid backup + stock recovery for the WWE International version (x.xx.401.x ) Rather use an older version like 1.54.401.5/10 and do updates from there, it'll be easier if you don't want to manually flash firmware and OTA's.
If you continue the way he has it in his guide then you'll get the firmware from the OTA collection thread(Just extract it from OTA.zip) or you can get firmware for device from mike1986's Androidrevolution.org
It's for a different device but the idea is the exact same.

1.54.401.5 is old Venom ROM version no.
H3G__106 firmware is : 1.54.771.9 (for 4.2.2) and you need the updated firmware 2.22.771.5 to run Venom 4.4.3
So download the OTA 1.54.771.9 -> 2.22.771.5 thanks @houstie, open it with 7-zip, extract out the firmware.zip and flash that in RUU mode.
Then reflash Philz recovery and install latest Venom ROM ...done

Why not. Twrp is not "better" than philz and vice versa.....

If you want ViperOne, you'll want to switch to TWRP. It's on the OP on their thread.
Also, the super id I use is 11111111. Try that and see if it works.

Hi,
Do you have a RUU for the T-MOB101? from where did you get it? I have a TWRP backup which I downloaded from the following place:
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_o...ne_m8_firmwaresammlung_ruus_otas_backups.html
but anything I've tried is a mess, many apps keep on crashing themselves. I tried the TWRP Nandroid restore of 4.19.111.2 (apps keep crashing)
then triwd ViperOneM8, SkyDragon and InsertCoin ROMs but all aren't stable on my M8. My Firmware version is 4.19.111.2 and I've tried the best known custom lollipop ROMS but not happy.
I need the official RUU of T-MOB101 (Deutschland) if someone could help me find it. My M8 is a frustrating gadget which is driving me crazy.

RUU for cid 621, TW .709

Hello, been looking for a way to return to stock xx.xxx.709.xx with cid_621. I'm on developer firmware atm and the only way to return is by flashing a RUU, but unfortunatly I've not been able to find any. Any help would be highly appriciated. Doesn't matter which version just a RUU for 709 works. Thanks

I assume your device is S-Off, if not how can you have Developer Edition firmware on it, right ?
Why do you need a RUU to revert to stock ? You can simply restore a 4.24.709.3 backup and its stock recovery then do OTA to 6.12.709.4
You can get all the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
If you insist to install RUU, there is one untested but a very old RUU, means if it is successful installed .. you need to do a lot .. a lot of OTA up to 6.12.709.4
You can find it here, it listed on top and it's a RUU zip, not exe - http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8
