My M8 has the CID of HTC_044 and I would like to flash latest ROM. However it requires latest firmware, ie 2.22.401.4, I am wondering if it is safe to flash the firmware to my device being with different CID as the firmware's android-info does not contain my device CID.
I have S-OFF on my device, I am wondering if I change mt CID to supercid would allow my device to run the firmware without issue.
Thanks in advance.
Yep,if your phone is supercid,u can flash that firmware...

If your firmware for CID HTC__044 is 2.22.707.3, it is not necessary for you to flash another firmware to run a 2.22.401.4 ROM.
As long as the firmware is 2.22.xxx.x ... you're good to go.
Anyway it's up to you if you want to flash 2.22.401.4 firmware but your Radio will be the EU region if the firmware that you flash come with radio image. If you currently in Asia, it's best to keep 2.22.707.3 firmware

Thank you! However I have heard there was one 2.22.7xx posted but was meant for M7, and at the moment I could not find 2.22.707.3 firmware from any firmware repository. I'm from Asia, could you please kindly post the link so that I wont brick my phone? Thank you!!

When we read firmware we look at x.xx.707.x not 2.22.7xx.x
You don't need 2.22.707.3 firmware if you already done the OTA update.
Please advise your current firmware that you have ... check what is written on the bootloader ... is it 1.54.707.7 or 2.22.707.3 ?
If it is 1.54.707.7 then you need to do OTA update.
If it is 2.22.707.3 then you're good to flash any ROM.

Couldn't check my firmware version as the OS field is empty in the bootloader.
Hboot: 3.16.0.0000
Radio: 1.16.2133156.UA10G
But I highly doubt my firmware is 2.22.707.3, I would think it is more likely to be 1.54.707.7 as I have rooted by phone before newer firmware roll out.
So can I use your firmware in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376&page=141
and flash it by using this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

Right ... your current hboot is 3.16 so it's 1.54.707.7
I suggest that you restore 1.54.707.7 stock Backup, flash back stock recovery and do the OTA (no need to relock bootloader or S-On .. OTA update work on unlocked bootloader and S-Off)
I don't post firmware on XDA. Those that I posted are recovery and stock backup.
If you insist to update firmware without OTA update .. that's you call. Someone maybe will guide you how to do it as I don't feel comfortable telling how to update firmware.

Great
Now you can flash any Sense 6 custom ROM that you like.
Only remember that you don't need to flash another firmware, your current one is good enough.. just flash ROM.
I am having the same issue - I have the HTC__044 and need new firmware to get the newest ROM.
I am S-On and CANT get S-off (s-off needed to flash firmware)...firewater does not work with my phone after multiple tries.
I tried getting Sunshine to work for s-off, but I need to be on a stock Sense ROM (I am on Viper 1.8) and don't have a stock backup. I can't find ANY stock ROM's online! Once I have supercid i was going to flash firmware, but without S off...I'm going nowhere (it seems)
anyone have an idea where I should start?

Everything that you need is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
1. Restore nandroid backup 1.54.707.7
2. flash stock recovery 1.54.707.7
3. reboot and check for OTA
4. install OTA
5. done .. your ROM will be 4.4.3 - 2.22.707.3
6. flash any 4.4.3 custom ROM that you like if any
All above no need to relock bootloader or S-Off, it works on S-On
If you want to S-Off with sunshine, step 1 & 2 then sunshine
or after step 5 then sunshine (both way should work)

I'm still a little on the noob side with rooting/flashing..I am at work and don't have time to read much - i will go home and give it a go... I'm sure I will have lots of questions
A quick look at the site, i saw lots of recoveries but not very many stock ROMs. I mainly just need a plain/rooted stock Sense rom to run Sunshine. After which i can flash new firmware, then the new custom ROM i've been wanting. Also, does a nandroid HAVE to be HTC__044, or can it be any WWE cid? (like anything that's "HTC__xxx")?
Excuse my ignorance...trying to learn as much as possible
I just got my m8 from Tmobile today, and I am on firmware 157.531.7
I've checked several times for updated firmware, but always comes back nothing.
Am I stuck on this, or will it take awhile for the network to "see me" and send it?
not rooted, fully stock for now
thanks so much!

If your main purpose to restore to stock to get SunShine working, then any nandroid backup will do either HTC__044 or WWE. You don't really need a rooted stock as SunShine works on non-rooted ROM too.
As you said you're a noob, that is why I suggest to restore to 1.54.707.7 then OTA to 2.22.707.3 so you don't need to manually flash firmware to get other custom ROMs running flawlessly. It is not necessary to have 2.22.401.4 firmware but it is necessary to have a 2.22.xxx.x firmware for those custom ROMs, unless you're not in Asia.
As you can see in my sig, I'm on 2.22.707.3 firmware, I can run any ROM without problem.
Being a noob, you may make a stupid mistake when flashing firmware.
There is also by mike or so a stock Rom as a zip.
Flash it like a custom Rom Flash the stock kernel and better the recovery and do sunshine...easier then with getting nandroid backup etc

Hi One-M8-Master,
I've read quite a few of your posts & given that your moniker seems appropriate, I'm wondering if you might be able to help me?
I've posted this on another thread but haven't got very far as yet, so am hoping that you might be able to get me out of the stupid hole I've dug myself into :fingers-crossed:
It is quite a long description but if you don't fall asleep reading it, I'd really appreciate any help you might be able to give me.....Here goes:
"Hi Guys,
Now I know you're all already thinking that I didn't update my firmware before I flashed ARHD & now I'm getting all the problems that come along with not doing that......& you'd be correct....kind of. HOWEVER, as it turns out, I already seem to have it. Let me explain.
As you can see, I'm relatively new to all this but successfully unlocked, rooted & installed a custom ROM on my ASUS TF700T tablet, so I wanted to do it with my One M8. I always do loads of reading before I start anything (I even read the instructions for new games before I attempt to play them because I'm a bit weird like that!) but what happened on this occasion was that I did the reading, unlocked the phone, flashed TWRP, & rooted it but then ran into the problem that some people appear to have had when trying to s-off via the adb commands & Firewater, that is, my pc could see the phone but when I gave the reboot command, it told me it wasn't connected.
I then got into hours of reading to try & solve this issue, discovered that (without Sunlight) on some devices it just doesn't work once you've accepted the 'should we allow this pc to connect every time' message (which I NEVER normally say 'yes' to), unless you install the Android Studio & Java Develpers Kits, update your version of adb, & force the phone to ask again (which I did but it turned out that I already had the latest version of adb, so that route proved fruitless!). I actually missed a night's sleep trying to resolve the problem, so work wasn't good the next day! but I think it is here is where my problems started because I was so tired & frustrated that I just picked a ROM & flashed it. I had even read the warning about not flashing it if you didn't have the correct firmware but I think that being so tired, it didn't really sink in, or I'd forgotten about it by the time I just flashed the ROM.
By this point, I'd been sat in front of my pc for about 30 hours & needed to go to work but the phone was actually booting through to ARHD, so I was relatively happy in the knowledge that at least I hadn't bricked it! On starting to use the phone that evening, I noticed the long boot times & then that my Sense 6 Toolbox didn't seem to be making any changes, even if I rebooted the device, so I went back to the beginning of this thread & started reading again. Thus, I re-read the firmware warning & panicked (my 2nd mistake!), thinking that I was getting the problems because I hadn't updated the firmware (it still didn't occur to me to just check because I think I just assumed that I wouldn't have it). So.....I tried to restore my TWRP backup of the stock ROM that I made after I had unlocked/rooted, with the intention of reverting to the stock ROM, getting the OTA update & then re-flashing ARHD but despite TWRP telling me that the backup had been successful, the phone went into a bootloop back into TWRP. I solved this by re-flashing the ARHD ROM that I knew at least would get my phone out of the bootloop & back into KitKat, which it did. I then checked what version of the firmware I had & to my surprise, my Build Number in About\Software Information\More says "2.22.401.4 CL365360 release-keys", so it looks like I had the correct firmware version all along?
The above being the case, I'm now puzzled as to why I'm getting the problems that I'm getting with ARHD? Does anyone have any clues/answers that might get me out of this hole I've dug for myself & get my awesome One M8 working like it should?
I know I've caused this problem by doing things when I was too tired to think straight but I'm fresh as a daisy now (still fairly noobish but fresh ) & now I need your help to sort myself out. I would be so grateful for any help anyone can give me to get me back on track.
I hope all of that makes sense & thanks in advance."
@dan5001
The firmware you speak of is the displayed version main number of the flashed rom. It has no relation to your actual installed firmware. Check your bootloader and post here what it says. I bet it is still hboot 3.16 and if that's the case your firmware is not updated.

Hi.
This is my own fault but I'm getting really frustrated with it because I've probably spent a total of 40 hours on it so far
I tell you that because I know that I needed S-OFF & SUPER CID to be able to update my firmware, so I just thought "screw it" & I paid for Sunshine. I now have S-OFF & following Vomer's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
I now have S-OFF & SUPER CID. I thought that would be the end of my issues but it would appear not!
Looking at my bootloader, you are correct, HBOOT is 3.16.0.0000!
However, I've tried to upgrade this firmware by downloading what I think is the correct update .zip from the list at the bottom of the aforementioned Vomer's guide (v2.22.401.5 (Rename to firmware.zip after downloading)), renaming it as suggested, & then flashing it in TWRP but it just keeps telling me that the update has failed!
Do I have to do it using the adb commands on Vomers guide? I didn't think so but it's just not working??
I appreciate any help you can give me with this. Given that I've spent so long on this & have paid for Sunshine, you can see that I'm trying to help myself but I've still got rain!!
EDIT
Just a thought, I do still have ARHD v10.2 installed at the moment because even though it's not working properly without the correct firmware, it's the only ROM I've got at the moment, so it means I can use the M8 to a degree; would that cause the problem with upgrading the firmware?
Firmware flash can be done via fastboot commands, that's how i did it
Installed rom has no influence on the to flash firmware, try it via fastboot
Hello there, although Im not really a noob when it comes to flashing phones, I have rooted etc this phone but got a problem.....
If i flash a rom with 2.22.401.5 and similar 2.22 roms, they flash correctly, but on bootup, take about 5 minutes to boot into phone, so at the moment, im using 1.54.401.10 earlier version of insert coin rom, I got no idea how to flash the firmware to upgrade it, so need your help!!!!!
by the way, i am unable to s-off with firewater because my phone been patched, it says
thank you any help received
Two method as option :
1. Restore the stock backup and do OTA update to 4.4.3 then you can flash 4.4.3 sense based ROM.
2. When your target is to flash a custom ROM based on 4.4.3; you don't really need all those going back to stock and apply OTA stuff.
What you need is flash the untouched 4.4.3 firmware of your device version then install ROM
So ... what is your device current firmware (not software version) ?
To flash an untouched firmware, you don't need S-Off
im on 4.4.2 and my cid thing is ORANG001 , baseban 1.17.2133156 etc, build number 1.54.401 cl325784 release keys
Your build number is not 1.54.401 that's the custom rom talking. Your official build number is different. Check my thread and look for the cid and check the accompanied main number
its orang001 1.54.61.5
Yeah.....correct.
but dunno what to do next lol

ckpv5 already told you what to do next. Restore a backup for your device and do the OTA to 4.4.3
COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Head over to Mr Hofs thread linked above in the section for stock backups there is ORANG001 1.54.61.5 both TWRP and Philz version for whichever you prefer to use.
Download the backup and unpack the .zip file into the backup directory on your device, this information you can find in post 2 on the same thread(Collection of stock backups...) Restore your backup.
Flash the stock recovery, this too you can find in post 1 in the recovery section 1.54.61.5. Flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img The command/info is also on post 1 in same thread.
Reboot the device once back to stock, OTA notification will appear, do the OTA and you're set :good:

Personally, I would flash a near stock ROM like MaximusHD. If you go back to actual stock, and downgrade, you will get notifications for software updates all the time.

You'll need the nandroid. You won't be able to run a Kit-Kat ROM with the old firmware. Plus you won't get the updates without the older ROM. Flash them all, then take the OTAs up until 4.4.4.

No. You flash the nandroid by putting it into your TWRP backup folder, then restoring.
The firmware is flashed either through ADB/fastboot, or by renaming it to 0P6BIMG.zip, placing it onto the root of your extSD, and entering hboot.
The prompts will direct you (vol up to flash, power button to reboot.) That only will work with a firmware zip though. Not an .exe

Truthfully, I am unsure. I know what to do when you upgrade. Firmware first, then ROM (in this case nandroid). I don't know if it will really matter or not. Like I said, I am unfamiliar with reverting.
If it was me (once again, I haven't done this ~ It's just what I would try if it was me, from my thoughts about the process), I would do the opposite. Restore the nandroid first, then flash the older firmware.

1: flash the firmware twice in a row.....yes TWICE
2: Go into the bootloader and check the OS version number. If its downgraded to 1.54 its oke
3: flash the recovery which the nandroid backup is made with (probably a 2.7 based TWRP) and then RESTORE the nandroid backup from inside the CUSTOM recovery.

How did you upgrade your firmware to 2.10 if you are s-on???
You need the 2.10 firmware to run the 2.10 roms.
All you can do when s-on is wait for the 2.10 ota to arrive.
Or pay for sunshine-app to get s-off.

He already received the update. The problem is that he is not able to install it since his phone is rooted.

That won't work. As said in the other thread you need a stock, unrooted and read-only TWRP backup of the 1.40.709.8 system. As K00li79 already said the rom of a 2.10.709.1 backup isn't compatible with your firmware. After you restored the needed 1.40.709.8 backup you only need to replace TWRP with the stock recovery and then you will be able to install the update. The only other option (that has actually been stated several times now, too) would be paying for Sunshine and after getting S-OFF flashing a RUU like this one.

Actually i searched the internet and found A nandroid backup for 2.10.709.1 >> restored it via TWRP >> worked perfectly >> now i flashed Viper Rom 3.5.0 whic is based on 2.10.401.1 and everything is working as it should

So you were able to receive and install an official OTA with a 2.10.709.1 rom although your firmware was 1.40.709.8? Or are you still on 1.40.709.8? Flashing a backup with TWRP alone won't update your firmware.
Edit: If your firmware is still 1.40.709.8 I may be able to help you out with a stock backup in a few hours. Since you haven't been the only person with problems during the process of getting back to stock and installing official OTAs I created some stock backups (1.40.709.8 and 1.40.206.8) last night. The files are uploading right now. But it's no problem if you don't need it anymore. Maybe there is someony else on the world wide web who might need it.
Edit2: And here is the post with the download link and some instructions.

A twrp restore won't touch your firmware. You're still on the same firmware you've always been on.

What you'll usually see is reboots when you hit the power button to turn on the screen. But I don't know if it's universal.

excellent job doing that! I just still recommend to be s-off so all the pain is gone, the key is to be soff and so you are able to do whatever you need to do so easily.
Hi,
I recently bought a HTC One M8 and I'm realizing now the phone is running a custom ROM called LeeDroid, upon research I find out it's a pretty awesome ROM.
However, I would love to go back to the stock version that HTC provides.
It's currently running the following:
Android Version: 5.0.2
HTC Sense Version: 7.0
Software Number: LeeDrOiD_One_M8_S7_V7.4.2
I'm kind of a newbie. If anyone could please guide me back to stock which would also allow me to receive OTA updates it would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks so much!
But, unfortunately I've not got any knowledge on rooting.
I don't even understand the abbreviations.
Would there by any chance be a step by step guide?
Thanks again.

Ok, so this is what I've done so far.
My CID using the CID Getter app off the Play Store was showing: 11111111
I then followed instruction on this site to get my MID: 0P6B12000
Using that MID number on the thread you mentioned, I understood there were two versions of the TWRP Backup, one was 4.16.1540.8 and the other 4.17.1540.9 - I downloaded the later version, is that ok?
I then downloaded the corresponding number under Stock Recovery Collections.
Afterwards I downloaded the relevant TWRP [2.8.7.0 as it says the latest version for the TWRP Backup 4.xx.xxxx.x].
Am I on the right track? Could you dumb down the next steps?
Much appreciated.
If those are your CID & MID, suggest that you get the 4.17.1540.9 RUU instead of going thru nandroids.
4.17.1540.9 backup may not the right one for your device, 4.16.1540.8 is better choice. But 4.17.1540.9 RUU is the best.
Try to search for that RUU or I'll get you the link when I'm home later (in 2 hours)

Hi, I downloaded the 4.17.1540.9 [1.35GB] off your own post, is that correct?

I managed to revert back to stock successfully, using 4.17.1540.9
Do I receive OTA updates as usual?

You will get updates, but you need to flash the stock recovery, don't update using twrp you might brick your phone.

Hi, I've managed to revert back to stock but now everytime I try to change a theme I get an error stating, "Sense Home has stopped unexpectedly. An error report will be sent to HTC to help us improve our products"
Any suggestions, advice?

When you say flash the stock recovery, you mean the 11th step here yes?
Also, why would I update using TWRP? Sorry I'm a little confused.
Thanks
He means that when you perform an official OTA with TWRP it won't work.......bricking the device certainly won't happen. It maybe doesn't boot up that's all (that's certainly NOT a brick) so a reflash of the OS is needed.
You can ONLY perform official OTA with the stock HTC recovery !

Yes the 11th step. Just letting you know that you can't install OTA's through twrp.
