Noob needs help please! (soft bricked M8) - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I really hope you clever folks can help me out. I have a HTC M8 (UK O2, CID O2---001) That I had rooted and I wanted to OTA update it. I flashed a stock recovery to it etc but the update kept failing due to what I believe was the Harman Kardon mod.
To get around this I did an RUU firmware install, put OTA update on SD card and tried to update from stock recovery but the update keeps failing. :crying:
I really do not know what to do, if anyone can suggest a way to update with stock firmware or suggest a custom rom I can flash that will work with UK O2 M8 I will be so incredibly grateful!!
Thank you so much.

Post your fastboot getvar all result (minus serial no. & imei no.) then we can start something like a proper backup to restore.

Thank you for the fast reply.

It seems that you're device still on a very old firmware and missed 4 OTAs.
But you have a S-Off device, you can simply change your device to anything else other that O2.
If you still want O2, what you need to do is restore 1.54.206.5 stock backup and its stock recovery and do OTA.
You can get your needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Use 1.54.206.5 - TWRP Thanks to Sensor1 --- in his link he has both TWRP backup and stock recovery.
Then do OTA to 1.54.206.10 --> 2.22.206.6 --> 3.32.206.9 --> 4.20.206.1

Thank you very much I will try as you suggest and post back.
Much appreciated.

Thank you thank you thank you ckpv5!!!
I did as you said and my phone is now updating OTA,
I am grateful to you for taking the time to help me out. :good: You are a legend.

No problem.. glad that I could help

Why are you using a 3.28 if you're still on 2.xx
Restore the correct ROM then you won't have Radio Firmware issues.
I think you need to have stock recovery img to revert to stock ROM as stated in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744194
how do you know?

Hboot version 3.16 was for 1.12.xxx.x and 1.54.xxx.x, hboot 3.18 was for android 4.4.3 i.e version 2.22.xxx.x and hboot 3.19 is for latest android 4.4.4 version 3.28.xxx.x going by international version numbers. Other carriers will be in similiar range, 2.23.502.3 for AT&T for example.

rom update issue

Hi All
i have some bizarre things going on with my new HTC one m8
I rooted and flashed a custom ROM, but the WiFi stopped working (i flashed it to Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_21.0)
so... i tried to get it back to stock (major pain) but i ended up restoring a backup of a 4.3 stock ROM i found on the web - EE (ORANG001) 1.54.61.5 (Philz)
hurrah everything worked great until an OTA popped up, i installed the update and again the WiFi stopped working
any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? oh I cant get s-off either, I tried rumrunner and sunshine
below is the phone info.
if you can suggest how I get back to stock, or a version of android that the WiFi will work after an update then id be very grateful

your phone is the first i have seen that Sunshine will not work ...what was the error ?
flash the 4.3 stock ROM EE (ORANG001) 1.54.61.5 (Philz) you have and flash the stock recovery that goes with it
do a factory reset from the stock recovery and try the OTA again
Flashing any 4.4.4 based rom requires the latest firmware be flashed first if you don't already have it.... Or WiFi won't work. ?
Need to update cid and flash 4.4.4 firmware in order to run ANY 4.4.4 rom. Only thing I can think of is a mismatched firmware is the only place I have seen this occur with certain users devices and also did you flash the kernel seperately? I believe if still s-on this has to be done manually

[Q] I want to upgrade my firmware but i am S-ON

Hi guys
I have a problem, sorry for my bad english i am french.
I want to know something, can i upgrade my firmware(i am s-on) i want to have the wifi on the new lolilop rom but i can't
My wifi turn off automaticaly, i think that this is a firmware problem
So, can i upgrade my firmware with s-on ?
And if i can't, what can i do for have the wifi and the 5.0 ?
Thanks you guys
It depends on your region device. If there is a Lollipop OTA already out, you can update firmware even on S-On.
What's your current version ? Post fastboot getvar all result (delete serial no. & imei. no.)

Where have you been all this while ?
You already missed two major updates.
You have two choices (actually three choices but I keep one as I see that you're very new here)
1. Restore 2.22.401.5 backup and fastboot flash the stock recovery and do multiple OTA updates from 2.22.401.5 up to the latest lollipop 4.16.401.10
Here are the needed files : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54953139&postcount=1676
2. Make a backup of your internal storage as this will wipe everything in your device.
Relock bootloader and run RUU : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleeTQ5U1NzNkZzM0U/view
Up to you which you prefer.
Read on many threads about these, I have to be away for few hours. Any question hopefully someone else will assist you.
@nkk71 wrote about the 3rd option ... read : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57756709&postcount=20
I prefer the first choice
Sorry but i'm new and i don't understand perfectly how i can restore a backup?
Can you explain to me please?
I have to go on my recovery TWRP and flash the 2.22.401.5_ckpv5.zip ?
Read this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/help-required-htc-m8-running-4-4-2-t3028351
On post #7 I mentioned how to. Just don't download that backup and recovery, use the one that I gave earlier.
He started with 1.60.708.2 but yours is 2.22.401.5, so change those numbers 1.60.708.2 with yours 2.22.401.5 when you read it.
Gotta go now ... good luck
Bro, thank's you sooooooo much love you

Tried to install VemonOne and now have a messed up phone with no OS

Ok, i tried to install VenonOne, it installed first time but my wifi didnt work, so i searched around and found out i needed to update my firmware, which needed S-off, which i cant becuase i dont have the money for sunshine. and problem after problem and following half arsed tutoials online solved nothing. i can only go to bootloader and recovery. not sure what to do,
i have twrp installed
Im a D*ck head and didnt make a backup becuae it 'looked easy enough'
any help would be great. would like to be using venomone but atm any os will do
Every rom i install cause the wifi to not work, i press to turn it on and nothing
Thanks guys

You probably realize it at this point; but my rule of thumb is always make a backup before flashing anything (or at a minimum, have a known good backup or known good ROM ready to flash). Its got nothing to do with how "easy" a process is. Things can go wrong even with the simplest mods, to the most knowledgeable users, and even if you do nothing wrong.
You don't need s-off to update your firmware.
Either run a Lollipop (or Marshmallow) RUU intended for your CID (relock bootloader in order to RUU). Keeping in mind that this will wipe the phone.
Alternately (such as if there is no RUU for your version), restore a stock ROM that corresponds to your current firmware, restore corresponding stock recovery. Then do OTA update, which will also update your firmware.
After updating the firmware by either of the 2 above methods, just flash TWRP back onto the phone (in case of the RUU method, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, before you can flash TWRP) and flash your custom ROM of choice.
If you do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial numbers) we can offer some more specific assistance.

If it is software problem, should fix it.
If it is hardware problem, it may fix it or it may totally brick it.
Thank you! I am reading now
I am downloading it, I will try it tonight, it's not hardware problem, it should not be bricked.
I don't mind, I have to try it.
is the ruu offical one?
is the htc_fastboot.exe special one? it's tiny file size?
instead of use computer to restore, i am using sd card to do it, it is updating now, thanks again, I update the result once it's done.
Thank you my friend, my phone is restoring now, It is loading app, for about 4 weeks I didn't see passing the htc logo screen, I hope it will load everything, I will update again in 1 hour.
Thank you very much for your help!
