Hi everybody, I was thinking whether to open new "story" or not and I thought I can do it by myself..but..I did everything I could, I have read hundreds of forums..some things totally confused me and some simply I don't understand..so however I decided to open new thread because I really need professional help here.
Here is the story,
I've bought used HTC DHD before two days with an custom rom android 4.2.2 but WI-FI not worked and also camera not worked very well (when I take a shot phone turns off). i have tried few roms in hope that will fix the problem (PACman v23, CM10.1 and JT 4.2.2 - and still on JT) but nothing. In bootloader says Unlocked but security is damn ON. So, I worked two whole fckin day without success. I have tried many tools, guides etc but it simply won't make S-OFF. Also I've tried to flash to few stock RUU roms to do a downgrade but every time when try I'm getting some errors (140, 150, 170 or even unknown error xD). I really don't know what to do anymore and because I'm pissed off I came here. I love this phone and I won't sell it third day already. I gave last money for this smartphone..I won't money back..I won't new phone..I just want this to be working device. On pic you can see what I already tried..
So please, be patient and take your time to solve this **** together.
Come on guys, I know this can be fixed. I need just little of your time. and thank you very much in advance.
NO idea why you so desperately want S-OFF in the first place as you can flash custom ROMS without it and there is no other way you can fix wifi on software level (so most probably it's a hardware problem), but anyone have access to search in the upper right corner if you wish.
As for the phone shutting down when taking photos, it's a common problem and is thought to be related to aging battery, but you have a great chance of fixing(compensating) it by increasing CPU voltage a couple of notches. Install CPU Master and increase the mV of corresponding maximum frequency used, it should be 1Ghz to look at if not overclocked, try to increse it by 50mV
You are unlocked and still s-on so, as with every one who has issues like yours, you need to flash the boot.IMG via fastboot from the ROM you want to install, after you've installed the rom.
I suggest switching to SVHD by mygamers, every thing works, its super smooth and is great on battery too.
P.s. unless you REALLY really need the advanced functions of s-off, I wouldn't worry to much about it.
"Some" advantages to unlocked bootloader and s-off are:
Flash new Roms direct with out having to flash boot.img
Restore nandroids that are different from current installed rom easier
Flash radios
Change splash screen (you may only see it when you turn on phone, but it can be awesome thing to show off a bit)

First, why do you need S-Off? You can flash ROMs without S-Off, and S-Off won't fix your WiFi problems. It's not clear whether you're successfully flashing ROMs right now, but you can. You do need to flash the ROM zip's boot.img from fastboot each time after you flash s ROM from recovery.
Second, please bump a thread only once every 24 hours per the forum rules.
It's pretty damn clear that he have tried other ROMS.

But he finishes that line with "but nothing." Given the number of "flash the boot.img" posts I've had to write lately, I was wondering if that meant he managed to get them to boot or not.
Sorry guys that I did't mentioned before but mainly what I want to do is to bring back stock rom but I can't..someone said that I need S-OFF for that, I heard that when you flash stock rom can fix wi-fi and camera and then if you want can install new custom rom after. About damaged hardware, everything is possible. I was in service shop and guy there said that hardware is modem in essence that controling wi-fi, GSM, bluetooth and GPS. Maybe I understood him wrong. But my BL and GSM working just fine. I have to try new step-by-step tutorial, I'll be back soon.

You don't need to get S-Off. Just relock your bootloader with fastboot and run the RUU executable from your computer while the phone's connected to it.

OK, let's clear this. Every rom I've tried worked but wi-fi not again, camera is little stable in JT 4.2.2. Only rom that not worked was JT 4.3 beta 3. Installed very well but when it boots it stays on splash screen forever.

Locked bootloader as you said, started exe from PC and I got error 131 "CUSTOMER ID ERROR"..what's that??
You need to find a RUU compatible with your phone's region.

How can I know that man, when I try to flash RUU it says "would you like to update from 3.13.000 to 3.13.405.12"..something like that..Ive already tried two stock roms.
Edit: I've tried WWE and ARA RUUs, do I need to try US and UK versions too??

You could make a goldcard to run any RUU, or you could try the US or UK RUUs.

Excuse me, but its "pretty damn clear" that only jellybean roms have been tried!
Why are you getting so agro (agrovated for non Aussie readers)) at the mention of trying to use something other than jellybean?

umm if your stuck on splash screen you haven't flashed the kernel. Extract the zip, then place the boot.img into your adb folder. Reboot your phone into hboot then fastboot. Now go to your adb folder type in fastboot flash boot boot.img from cmd.
If that doesn't work to achieve s-off on newer versions of android is 1) Make a goldcard 2) Downgrade with a ruu 3) Get root exploit 4) Get s-off exploit (This was back in 2010 so I don't know if the procedure changed but I s-offed with this. It's probably easier since its 2013:silly
For future reference, Unlocked bootloader means the boot.img is restricted from recovery YOU need to flash kernels via fastboot with Unlocked Bootloader, S-OFF means nothing is restricted apart from splash image, ENG-Soff is engineering mode is same as s-off but with a Eng tag and splash screen is changeable.

First of all there was no any hate nor any of this "agro" of yours lol.
Secondly, none of the mentioned JB ROMS have wifi issues, so there is really no point in wasting time and trying every available ROM.
Cheers and I hope you now got it, we all learn from our mistakes, don't beat yourself up too much. :laugh:
Thanks dude, I'll try it. I have GC tool but problem is this site revskills are down and can't get .img file. Any alternative for this?

Hi, First off I am a complete noob to this and probably should of read which apps wouldn't work before I did this. Also i apologise if this has been posted elsewhere.
Basically I have unlocked my bootloader, then flashed TWRP and then flashed the Android Revolution Rom. I have then gone to install the barclays banking app (Im on o2 in the UK btw) and it says it cannot be used with a rooted device. This app is a lifesaver for me with the amount of money going out so i can keep an eye on it.
I have read into the RUU applications to be used after locking the bootloader but as far as i am aware they are not available yet. So basically my question is is there a way to go to 100% complete stock? so i can use the app.
Thanks in advance. Please remember i am a noob so please be clear if its technical haha :fingers-crossed:
Check my thread in my signature, check also post #2 it has a flashable zip to unroot the device !

Thanks for your quick reply, I have checked my software number and it is 1.54.401.5, so seeing that someone has put in a flashable zip on their post after yours does that mean i can use that? also im on o2 in the uk does this affect it? and when i run the zip in twrp does that unroot my phone?
Sorry for being so useless in this haha
EDIT: All done now flashed one of the recoveries that you have in your thread and worked a treat cheers.
Hello Mr Hoffs, I have seen your stock rom recovery page, plenty there, unfortunately none for mine.
I was wondering if you had any idea where I could get hold of cid 2___001 and a version main of 1.54.206.10 for my o2 HTC M8 please?
I have an unrooted phone with a constant nag about an OTA security update which I can't apply, this is very frustrating and much more awkward than rooting my S3 or N5 ever was.
Thanks in advance!
Hey guys, I am new to this forum here but before anyone flames me, I did read the faqs and tried to uninstall from there but it did not work out. Apparently I dont think you can get rid of CM11 since you cant install any stock firmware older than it? Before I installed CM11, I was on jellybean. I had tried to find the latest kitkat update for the s3 (att) and there is no file of it found online (tried sammobile). When I tried flashing an older firmware with ODIN, it just fails at "NAND!". Any help would be appreciated. I am COMPELETELY new at this so specific directions would be appreciated!
I really do love cyanogenmod but there are simply too many glitches and not enough guidance on how to fix em. I am, however, currently using it on my HP touchpad, if anyone remembers what it is . Maybe ill go back to using it in the future.
thanks!
Your rom (cm) has nothing to do with what firmware you can or cannot flash. Once you have updated to 4.3 firmware or newer, you can only flash the same or newer firmware in odin from now on. (Regardless of firmware you can still flash older roms btw)
Using terminal emulator, enter this to find your current firmware build:
getprop ro.bootloader
I suspect you are on a 4.3 build. So odin flash that same firmware. You can find it in these forums. After that you can get the ota to update fully to kk.
There are other methods of updating. Just check the General section. (enewman17 has a few threads that will help)
Note: anytime you go between touchwiz and non touchwiz roms, you will have to factory reset or it'll hang at boot.

I am on "I747UCUEMJB"
and i am not sure what build i am on but according to my "build number"this is what it says: "cm_d2att-userbug 4.4.2 KOT49H"
The main issue is, I cannot find 4.3 update anywhere on the internet
The MJB is your current firmware/bootloader build/version.
The build number displayed in settings only represents the rom, which is often different, and doesnt really matter to much.

i have no idea what MJB means (i google'd it) and i just found out what my bootloader version is via download mode (its at the very bottom) and i have version 2.0?
ok downloading the giant file now. will report details. just follow instructions in the first link?
[sorry, like i said, im a noob so i really apologize for the lack of terms here]
MJB is just short for I747UCUEMJB. Sorry if I confused you. And the S/W revision being 2.0 is what Odin uses to know what firmware it is allowed to flash. In this case 2.0 tells odin it can flash the MJB firmware, or anything newer.
And yes, follow the instructions he posted and you should be fine.
Oh, and if you did not run the getprop command I posted before, please do so before flashing....just to be on the safe side. If it returns I747UCUEMJB, you are good to go. If it returns anything else, let me know before flashing.

Cool! Got it. I think that was my main problem. I could only find 4.0 (or 4.1) and have been trying to use that on ODIN. Perhaps that was the main issue....
Oh already ran it and got "I747UCUEMJB", sorry if didnt say it properly.
Really appreciate the help! Ive at this for days and no solutions. Sometimes the hacking/custom firmware isnt for everybody
Ill update what happens. Download is taking forever.
EDIT: BTW, for the first link, which poster am I gonna have to follow? im assuming "garbage guy"?
I though you did run the command already, but just wanted to be certain is all. For some reason AT&T stopped releasing their firmware, which has been causing all kinds of problems for people.
Anyway, it sounds like you are good to go! Good luck!
Oh, and if the firmware you're downloading is a .zip or .7z file, make sure you extract it first. Odin only flashes .tar and .tar.md5 files.

Awesome!
really glad to hear that! The only thing I can think of thst you might want to do next is backing up your nv data. The following is a copy/past from a post I made a few min ago... root is required to fo this btw, just so you know.
(Since you are looking to update though, I recommend waiting till you have updated before rooting and running this backup)
It's a super simple procedure and will create an on device backup of your nv data. The backup will be stored on a couple of partitions we never touch, not even with firmware flashes. This essentially makes it a permanent backup. The cool thing about it is every time you reboot, the system checks for any corruption, and if detected, it will automatically restore from this backup. So if it were to ever happen, you probably wouldn't ever even notice it!
Install the Terminal Emulator from the play store. Open and enter this:
su
reboot nvbackup
Thats it! Device will reboot and create your backup. This should prevent you from ever suffering from a lost IMEI!

That has been released, but OTA's are generally rolled out in stages over several weeks. Usually done by region. So it msy not have started in your area just yet.
Two alternatives you can try though, install kies on your computer and update through that. Or there are a couple if threads in the General section that provide the ota for download.
Enewman17 has a few threads helping folks to update so I recommend checking them out as well.
Ive heard that some people have gone to best buy and they were able to initiate the update there. I dont know much more about this though.

Thank you! I will look into this. I just figured for some reason...I would have some data left from cyanogenmod, if that makes sense. In other words, i want my phone to be as fresh as possible. I only ask this because when I had CM, i accidentally made a backup of it through rom manager (or clockwork) and I am not sure if its in my partition somewhere.

Factory resetting with stock recovery installed wipes all data except the external sdcard. I am so sorry I should've mentioned this before. I was thinking you had already done one at some point and didn't have anything left to worry about. Still, I should have asked and I do apologize for that. Hopefully if it was really important it was saved to the external sdcard....

Ok, I wasn't sure about that. I personally never need or use kies so I didn't know if it was tied to the staged rollouts. It would appear that it is though.

I suggest trying the third one by bkong first. He posted a pure OTA file you can try to update with.
The first option is a recovery flashable firmware, but does not include the /system (ROM) portion. To fully update using this you'll flash the firmware per his instructions and then go to his development thread for the stock rom. It is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788357
The second option is the OTA file, but it has been slightly modified to skip certain file checks. If the original OTA doesnt work, theres a good chance this will. (Since you are full stock now either one should flash without issue).
Hope those help! I recommend doing a bit of reading about each one (at least the OP and last few pages) and start with whichever you are most comfortable with.
Or, you could always use that most valuable tool, patience, and wait for the OTA to roll out for your area.
Good luck!

No no! Its fine, I wasnt planning using it or anything, I just wanted to get rid of it since I have no use for it, no need to apologize. , I was fully aware that I would lose all files, other than SD ext drive. I just wanted to make sure that all files are in the right place and none of the unnecessary files are taking up space (e.g. files from cyanogenmod)
As for the update, I talked to a samsung representative and they said one can go to Best Buy and get it updated there through a technician, so Ill try that later since I am close to it ATM. If it back fires, Ill try your suggestions.
I really do appreciate for the help , I have been completely lost for days but it turns out I was just using the wrong firmware. Thanks for pointing it out. Good karma is coming your way . Hopefully one day, I will be here again and trying out a new custom firmware.
Glad I could help!
If I remember right, someone who mentioned the best buy thing had said at the time that the first store they went to did not have the update yet. But I think they found another in their area did. So if they say its up to date and cant help, you might find another store close by can. (If there is one of course!)
Just fyi so you're not too surprised if that happens.

Ok guys i roamed a lot on the internet trying to get a way to fix a not so common problem(but yes a major problem) on the htc desire 816. Finally resolved mine and hope that it will solve yours too (note that having a super CID phone is a plus point, i have that, proceed at your own risk) which means my phone is not region locked
Please note this may lead you to bricking your phone if not done properly.
UPDATEDFollow the steps below:-
Download your version of stock ROM.zip or RUU.exe From HERE
If your one is in .exe format then simply connect your phone and run RUU.exe and don't follow the steps given below
Rename the file to 0P9CIMG only(dont change extension .zip)
Place the file in your Ext. SD Card
Turn off your phone
Enter into bootloader by pressing VOLUME DOWN + POWER
Your phone will automatically recognize the zip file and start flashing it
Be Patient
Delete the zip after your phone has succesfully returned to stock.

Unfortunately though while updating, I got this error message in recovery: "Package expects build fingerprint of htc/htc_asia_wwe/htc_a5dwg:4.4.2/KOT49H/37"a number"983.1:user/release-keys or htc/htc_asia/wwe/htc_a5dwg:5.0.2/LRX22G/510432.1:user/release-keys; this device has htc/htc_europe/htc_a5dug:5.0.2?LRX22G/510432.1:user/release-keys". I'm assuming 'a5dwg' means my phone is a asia wwe model and thus not compatible with the european recovery.img I downloaded from your given link? If so, where can I find a stock recovery.img for asia wwe model? (My phone is a Desire 816 dual sim with 4.4.2 kitkat, sense 6, software number 1.58.707.1, kernel 3.4.0-g4ff7e8c and baseband version 1.31.50.0624_2) Does anybody else know?
I'll post that soon if I find it

IF your phone is not region locked and second that it is s-off then that's what will give you best results in these kind of things.

To tell someone, that doesn't even know the correct way to flash a device, to get S-OFF (which completely removes ALL security, so the flashing won't stop, even if it is a bad flash) is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! I know experienced users that bricked their phone gaining S-OFF and attempting to flash a file, they THOUGHT were for their device. So imagine an unexperienced user trying the same.
Also, maybe you should tell the user that S-OFF costs real money. You need to buy the sunshine app or for MTK variants a dongle to make it work.
It's really nice of you posting this tutorial, but please consider that most of the users in this section of the forums are inexperienced and seek help.

Yes I do know that but you must also know that there is no other simple method right now to gain S-OFF without the sunshine app which costs 25$ at the time.
I know that they can end up doing it wrong, but the files that i've stated are stock roms or ruu files and are not that much of a problem if they know which one to look out for.
I should have told them that. Sorry my bad.
BUT THANKS TO YOU FOR STATING IT :good:

On December 27th you posted here that your phone was pure stock and you couldn't update. Now a few months later your phone is now set to S off which by the way requires you to preroot your phone first and now your set to SuperCID which takes even more knowledge to do through ADB/fastboot properly but your still "new" here? Now your saying your phone isn't even rooted and after asking the OP for his "supposed" help(which none of which is documented anywhere here with interactions back and forth between the two of you) your thanking him for what exactly? Coming across the one other "new" guy with an S off and SuperCID set device? This is all sounding very fishy and "real" people are being hurt here who don't have S off and SuperCID and are soft bricking their phones left and right from what I'm reading here. Shame on both of you (OP) for giving such incomplete advice and having more unlocked phone's then the rest and not even sharing your back and forth discussions here in XDA to inform the rest. This forum is one big joke but the people being hurt by it aren't laughing so neither will I !

I think you should consider reading my post where I've clearly mentioned "this may lead you to bricking your phone if not done properly & proceed at your own risk"
Nukaru has also already stated in a post above what i should have told regarding s-off and the info i provided.
If you notice i have asked people to post their specific problem in detail and also i had sent them PM's asking them the details of the problem. I've helped them as far as i could. I'm not a developer or someone with great knowledge in these things but what i've written is from my experience of the problems that i faced and how to resolve them.
The original post was completely different from what it is now which is much easier to do. People who were following the steps in the earlier version of my original post faced those problems that you are talking about.
I appreciate your criticism for this post and i also say that what you are saying is not completely incorrect.I'll soon edit this thread to give proper info to people in need.

Can you check this topic and help me? I see you are experienced.. I don't care what Android version I get, I just need my phone working again..
Would flashing Stock ROM help with my situation or not? and what kind of recovery do I need to flash this ROM? I have stock recovery right now..

I genuinely appreciate your response and your desire to help people I'm sure is genuine but I did read your whole post and every single persons response one after the other. I learned that from my first days here at XDA that sometimes the responses gave me more info than the original post. Plus I'm OCD when it comes to reading. I also am not an expert/dev and have just learned by reading obsessively and dealing with my own device's issues over the years so I'm not saying you don't have the right to help here( we need more people to help.)
What I am saying is maybe you should be "reading" more tutorials from more experienced people and devs to get your information gaps fixed better before "writing" more tutorials that are (and I've read all of them to be fair) incomplete with dead links and more emoji filled than correctly filled. PMing is great and it's commendable that you are taking that much effort into helping people but that doesn't help the next guy that comes across this forum after you've gone to sleep and wants to get the information you and the other person communicated. I guess if the mods are fine with it I have to be but my advice is to read some of the better written tutorials and support forums then compare them to yours and you'll pretty much see what I'm talking about and if you don't then none of what I'm saying matters anyway. Good luck to you and I mean that.

Thanks you understood me really well. Appreciate your advice, working on it.
Hello everyone, I currently have AT&T HTC M8,
I recently came across this issue after I installed an Android M rom (SkyDragon, CM13 etc), I wasn't able to receive any incoming calls, they were all redirected to voicemail, I tried to change roms, change different settings, nothing worked.
Finally I searched for Android M's firmware and came across 6.12.1540.4, just search for it and flash it in fastboot.
Once you'll flash that firmware, do a clean install of TWRP recovery & ROM of your choice, it should work with all Marshmallow roms.
Not sure if it'll work if you'll restore it back to Android L (may get stuck in boot-loop or something, not sure).
I'm not taking responsibility if anything happens to your device, if you have any questions, feel free to write & I'll try my best to answer.
Thanks.
I think what you experienced is a kernel problem and not a firmware problem.
And even so, not everybody can do this as you need S-OFF.

I never modified the kernel, it was always stock, for some reason, it worked for me after updating the firmware from 4.xx to 6.12.xx.
I agree about S-OFF, we really need that to mess around with the device.

That's probably a reason. If you installed international/wwe/gsm roms then AT&T/verizon/sprint it could be a problem. Have you checked the specific AT&T subforum for the M8....it's there for a reason because it holds differences.
I personally think you are one step ahead of the real solution. I think it's kernel related. Check the subforum for some info. See if it comes up with something.
I could be wrong......so don't hold that against me, just giving my thoughts

That's really a thought, I'm definitely gonna check it and see if it's something related to kernel. Thanks for the suggestion.
And yeah, firmware upgrade was the last resort I guess lol,
Really appreciate that.
