I have tried to install a new custom ROM on my HTC One M8.
It has a unlocked bootloader, it's unlocked, rooted, and i've had InsertCoin and Paranoid Android, and CyanogenMod on it.
My device is S-ON.
However, lately I have not been able to update to any of the newer roms.
The ROMs that I have tried to install are:
HTC_One_(M8)_-_MaximusHD_11.0.0
insertcoin-m8_5.0.3_ART
ViperOneM8_4.2.0_v2
And none of them work except for
pa_m8-4.45-20140729
which is always my go-to ROM right now when the others fail so I don't soft brick it.
I do have a Nandroid in case everything goes to hell.
But my question is, what is wrong with my device and why can't I update to another ROM? It gets stuck at the HTC White Logo screen every single time with every ROM that fails.
Thanks!

You have old hboot and firmware version.
All the newer Sense based ROM require hboot no less than 3.19.0000
What's your fastboot getvar all - post here minus serial no. & imei no.
Maybe lollipop OTA already available for your device region.

Here is my information on my phone, so it would seem that I am outdated. How would I get back up to date?
Here is the RUU for your device version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58771521&postcount=4593
This will update your device to the latest lollipop 4.20.531.4
1. put your device in bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC
2. run command to relock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Right click the RUU exe that you downloaded, select "run as administrator" .. wait for it to run, later there is a dialog box, accept, next, next, update, blablabla until it finish and your device rebooted... done.
Note : this will wipe everything on your internal storage. Make a backup of important files before you proceed.
Then if you want to install custom ROM again, re-unlock bootloader & install any custom recovery that you like.
Thanks! I did what you said, then this happened:

Yep ... just proceed to install RUU (step 3)
Okay thank you, Also I wanted to ask you, how exactly did you find my RUU?
I saw the cidnum was TMOBO010 or whatever it was, but how exactly did you use that to find my RUU?
Thanks again for the help, much appreciated
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000
(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B13000

These are the 3 items that important to check what you need.
I don't really need to search for it because I'm always around in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
and it happens that I just helped other person there with more or less same problem as yours.
BTW ... please remove those sensitive data (serial no. & imei no.) from your post above.
I did what you asked.
And okay I will keep that in mind
**EDIT**
Also, do I need to "re unlock" my phone? Or can I just do "fastboot oem unlock" because I have once before unlocked it?
This IS a relock right?

No .. you need to unlock it with the unlock_code.bin that you received from HTCDev when you first unlock your device.
If you don't have it, reapply a new one.
I see, okay I unlocked it again.
While I'm at it, I wanted to ask one final question that's been bugging me for a while now.
When I got to my Philz recovery and do "factory wipe" why doesn't it actually wipe my data?
I want ALL of my data, ROM, apps, everything to be gone, but it doesn't do that.
Is there an alternative?
Is there no way to remove all user data/apps?
I don't use Philz recovery so not sure how to help you. Maybe try an older version 6.26.6
I use only TWRP and now your device already updated to 5.0.1; you need to use TWRP 2.8.4.0 or the latest 2.8.5.0
Okay I am on TWRP, how do I do a factory reset on TWRP?
and what exactly will it do?
I just hope it'll actually wipe everything when I factory reset it. Or else I don't see a point of even having a factory reset option
It's all depends on what you want to do.
Factory reset - to prepare your device to install next ROM, it wipes user data, cache, dalvik cache
I always prefer - wipe menu - advance - select data, cache, dalvik, system - this wipe everything except internal storage.
To wipe data and internal storage - wipe menu - advance - format data - yes
I got to go now ... bed time
Thank you that's all I needed to know.
I appreciate the help, goodnight!

No problem ... and it's already good day here
Haha I see.
Do you know any information on the OnePlus?
I made a post there, however it's not a very active forum.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
No idea about any other brand phone ... I use only HTC since 2008 when I first registered with XDA with my first HTC Elf
Haha interesting, I started with the Droid DNA being my first HTC device, and that thing was so bad it almost never make me want to go HTC again. But I got my M7
And staying on topic... If you have a different kernel on your device, would you still be able to RUU it? Or would you have to revert the kernel back?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
RUU - no need
OTA - need to revert to stock kernel/modules if modules are changed. If modules are stock, then no need

Hello All,
I have tried to follow all these tutorials, but my issues is not listed yet.
Original rom was on Vodafone, tried to gain S-OFF, but it failed saying that is not possible for my device yet? So I was kind of stuck with Tampered, Unlocked but S-ON
By mistake I have wipe everything through customer recovery as I have left myself with No OS. Tried different RUU, latest one isRUU_M8_TMOUS_1.57.531.7, but can't go anywhere and always stuck on Signature check 132 Error or 150 error
I did reboot boot loader and I did relock.
Tried also a Sideload rom, comes up with the error that is either insufficient space, can not read sideload. cant't push through adb either comes with error
Also is there a way to gain S-OFF in the bootloader only?
Looking forward to your thoughts and possible solution.
Many thanks
Also: when i run the relock command this one comes up.

Answer me this quickly, if you have a Vodafone, S-ON, why on God's green earth would you flash a RUU for T-Mobile US?

Flash a custom ROM. Put the firmware and gapps on your sdcard.
I think he should just restore his phone to stock ROM after he flashed a custom ROM. If he doesn't know the difference between Vodafone and T-Mobile then I don't know... To make matters worst he knows he has no OS on his device and then he goes to try and lock the bootloader, in the hopes of achieving what?
Put a ROM on a SD card, flash it through custom recovery, download a stock ROM for your device from the Collection thread in General section. Restore the device back to stock and rather leave the flashing until you read up on the basics and get a better understanding of these things before you really mess up mate.
Thank guys,
I have tried T-mobile because i found somewhere in the forum. I thought it was a bit strange.
Customer roms don't work either. comes up with errors, can not mount cache.
I don't really know where to start any help would be much appreciated.
Never had issues with other android phones but this one is tough.

Make sure bootloader is UNLOCKED, and keep it unlocked (only relock if you need to return phone to HTC)
What custom rom did you try? what custom recovery do you have?

wifi is not working because you have installed the newest version, use the version you had before, like 4.4.2/4.4.3 etc that way you can then update to latest firmware.

Also, your MID (model id) and CID must match the firmware you are flashing since you are not S-off, and therefore not superCID.
In fastboot and hooked up to your PC in ADB, type fastboot getvar all. The output it gives you will tell you your CID and MID(modelid).
Then look for firmware that matches those.
Or get S-off with sunshine (best $25 you will spend on your phone), and go superCID to flash firmware from any carrier.
Thank you guys for your support. my version list is bellow. So which is the correct firmware version am I looking for?

Thank you for your sarcastic reply. I went through all guides before posting this. But in non of the guides explains how to match these numbers to get a "matching firmware"
Thank you
also éven if he would try on s-on a T-Mobile RUU von vodafone cid it would never work
if you really don't know how to Flash custom roms etc properly please Keep your phone stock!
If you got the stock Rom working i would go S-Off with Sunshine and go Super CID (11111111) with Sunshine.
Then you can flash what ever Rom you want.

I'm sorry but you probably missed something. What i would is, S-off, Super CID(fastboot oem writecid 11111111) Super CID "allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier" (taken straight from the S-OFF sticky). You can certainly S-OFF, install custom recovery, and begin flashing custom ROMs without Super CID, but you will be limited in your choice of ROMs to those that are the same carrier as you have
CID is the Country Identifier, a code which is stored on your phone and software uses to determine which country or region the phone is for. HTC updates, for example, use it to determine (among other things) which languages to install.
SuperCID is a special code, 11111111, which means that software from any region can be installed. Last, flash recovery and flash new rom

Actually, CID is Carrier ID, not country identifier.. That's why his says VODAP001 (his carrier being Vodafone) and not his country (whichever of the 21 countries Vodafone is available in)

Why don't you do the easy way :
1. Flash TWRP - link in my sig
2. Download the stock nandroid backup for your CID/MID - software version no. 2.22.161.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55302130&postcount=1884
3. Restore that nandroid backup
4. Fastboot flash the stock recovery for 2.22.161.6 - link as above
5. Do OTA to 4.4.4 - software version no. 3.29.161.5
6. Once complete - then you decide whether you want keep it stock or flash custom ROM.
7. If you want to flash custom ROM
a- flash the TWRP again
b- install any GSM based 4.4.4 ROM of your choice - everything should work including wifi
Note : on any case above - no need and don't relock bootloader

Not true, not 100 %. Maybe V3 will do that. Keep in mind that the version of sunshine that is now on the market is not working with all the devices.
Helllo there!
I'm making a new thread because I couldn't find anyone with the exact same problem and don't want to brick my phone or such.

The phone is rooted, the bootloader unlocked, it has the stock recovery, it's s-on and it says "software status: modified".

Also, it seems that you are trying to tell the OP to root (not completely clear, with the 2 word post), when he clearly states he is already rooted.
Getvar info added!
By the way, the other guy had a different problem.
Has anyone got an idea of whats wrong?

Helllo there!
I'm making a new thread because I couldn't find anyone with the exact same problem and don't want to brick my phone or such.
Now to the problem: every time I try to update my HTC one m8 (Europe) it stops when installling and tells me this:
Code:
Finding update package...

The phone is rooted, the bootloader unlocked, it has the stock recovery, it's s-on and it says "software status: modified".
The only thing I can see in the error is that this nine:
Code:
htc/htc_europe/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/389838.[B][U]9[/U][/B]:user/release-keys
is a six

on mine.
I am pretty new here still, so i don't know how to fix it, and i don't want to break it.

Download and run the 3.28.401.10 RUU first (a quick search here and you'll find it), then run this one.

Wrong stock recovery image.
OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)
Get the right recovery image, OTA will proceed.

Okay thank you so far!
But now it comes up with a different error; It says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents".
Let me tell you the whole story:
Some time ago i installed busybox, xposed and xprivacy (and luckypatcher) and used it normaly.
Then the Lollipop update came around and since it wasnt working (giving out the unexpected contend error) i thought it would be a good idea to just do a factory reset.
It didnt work afterwards either, so i went here to ask what the problem was, and i was told it was because of xposed.
However, xposed wasn't installed anymore (the app), and (i think) the newer versions installed it somewhere else, so installing and then uninstalling (the button in the app) it didnt delete the old directory. (Btw. in an last attempt i tried installing the stick recovery and got the wrong one apparently)
So yeah, i have no idea on how to fix this problem, but i would be okay with having to reset my phone.

That's expected
There are a few methods to solve your problem.
The easiest one is RUU it back to stock.
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
You need to relock bootloader and also make a backup of your internal storage files/pic/music or whatever you like to keep.
The RUU will update your device to the latest

You don't have S-Off - that's why you need to relock bootloader
That's the only difference - read the thread thoroughly.
First step - relock bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
then follow the step 3 onwards
Also note you need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the usual fastboot.exe
Anything you need to ask, you can ask there. I believe @EddyOS will gladly help you

I believe you do know this is M8 thread and not HTC Desire 820n
But .. this is what you can do to fix your problem ...
Check for OTA as usual, download OTA then select install later.
Connect your device to PC then copy the OTA zip from internal storage\download folder to PC
Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip. Open firmware.zip and extract out recovery.img <--- this is the one that you need.
Boot your device to bootloader
Fastboot flash this extracted recovery.img
Reboot, check for OTA again, this time select install now
Done
I'm sorry for posting here but i did it and it's not working when i'm flashing the recovery i tooked it from the OTA it's give me error when flashing it the update is lollipop and i'm on kitkat 4.4.4

I have an HTC One M8 (International) and I don't remember how, since this happened long ago, but while flashing some ROM I somehow switched my phone back to S-On while the bootloader stayed 'Unlocked' but it showed the 'Tampered' sign.
After an year, my new phone isn't working and I needed to get my old phone back so I took it out and decided to wipe everything because I didn't care about the data inside it and I just wanted all the storage space. Unwittingly I checked every box in the 'Advanced' section of the factory reset menu, including the 'System' checkbox.
Now my phone has no OS, it has an unlocked bootloader with the latest TWRP installed (not completely sure about the latest part) but it shows 'Tampered' below the unlocked text and I've got 'S-On'. I had the Viper ROM on it before if that matters. It wont boot past the HTC screen which has the red text below it that tells us that the version of HTC is for developers.
I really need some help here, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Download a ROM on your PC and transfer it to an SD card, then flash it in recovery. Wiping everything in recovery doesn't wipe recovery, so you should still have TWRP on your phone.
To get there after you've inserted the SD card with the ROM to flash, power up your phone by holding power+vol down. That will boot you to bootloader. Use the vol keys to navigate to hboot and the power button to select it, and there will be an option to boot to recovery. Navigate to that, then flash the ROM.

I tried that, but it doesn't flash the ROM. Instead it starts flashing and then restarts back into TWRP midway. I tried flashing superuser the same way but to no avail.
You may have outdated firmware and outdated TWRP version. Most of current ROM won't get installed on outdated TWRP.
Post fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no. We'll see what you need.

Are you sure it was ever s-off? S-off isn't need to flash ROMs, root, or a great many other things.
The only way you could have gotten s-off is with the sunshine app ($25); unless you did s-off with firewater before that method was disabled in Dec 2014.

There is rarely ever a reason to go into the Advanced section. But if you do, its called "Advanced" for a reason. You shouldn't be wiping any partitions on this device without understanding what it means, and what the results will be.

If you haven't installed a new TWRP version in a year, there is no way its the "latest".
There is also no reason to guess at this. It says the TWRP version number right on the main screen of TWRP. You're always better of giving the specific number, instead of just saying latest. Folks on here often post they have the "latest" TWRP. But once prompted for the actual version number, I often find its something very old, often 2 years old!

Jesus. 1.54.651.8 OS? That phone has never been updated since forever.
Go to this thread for instructions and links to update your device.
You want the ones that aren't "Harman"
EDIT: You are S-Off, so keep that in mind (security: off from your getvar)
Feel free to send me a PM if you need further instructions.
Hi all,
I had an old M8 that I decided to reflash to stock. Its been a while and clearly I did something wrong. Upon boot up it just pops up with the message " Unfortunately, Setup Wizrd has stopped work". I have read a few post but I cannot access the settings menu. It wont open. Any ideas where I go from here?
Thanks

Maybe. If you provide specific details on what exactly you did. Step by step, with file names, version numbers, etc. Also, the state of the device (unlocked bootloader, root, custom ROM, etc.) before you tried to "reflash to stock".
Also, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results. Delete IMEI and serial number before posting.

At least try to remember whatever you can, even if it's not exact. You must remember something. If you don't know what you did, how are we supposed to?
Maybe the file(s) you tried to use to "reflash to stock" is still on your computer? If so, tell us exact version number, and file name.
Was it on a custom ROM and/or root before you tried to "reflash to stock"?
In bootloader, does it say bootloader is LOCKED, UNLOCKED or RELOCKED?
Do you have TWRP installed? And if so, what version?
Maybe the file(s) you tried to use to "reflash to stock" is still on your computer? So I from what I can remember I think I just tried to factory reset the phone. Stupid of me I know.
Was it on a custom ROM and/or root before you tried to "reflash to stock"? I think it was on a Cyanogenmod, rooted,
In bootloader, does it say bootloader is LOCKED, UNLOCKED or RELOCKED? Bootloader says Unlocked
Do you have TWRP installed? And if so, what version Yes I have TWRP v 2.7.0.2
I have tried to do some of my digging but I am not sure what to do as my version-main is blank. I read on a few other posts that I need to flash a stock rom?

Just for your knowledge: Factory reset doesn't reflash anything, or restore the ROM. If a factory reset is actually what you did, all that does is wipe user data. The ROM (system partition) is actually untouched.
Do you have TWRP installed? And if so, what version Yes I have TWRP v 2.7.0.2
This is a horribly obsolete version of TWRP, that isn't compatible with your current firmware (hboot, etc.). But that is just for your info. The TWRP versions is not too relevant, if you choose to follow the next piece of advice:
I have tried to do some of my digging but I am not sure what to do as my version-main is blank. I read on a few other posts that I need to flash a stock rom?
If the intent is to return to stock (and will also be the last version made by HTC, Marshmallow), and which will probably clear up the Setup Wizard issue, you can use the RUU and instructions on the following post. Be aware this will wipe all data from the phone:

Spontaneously not being able to boot to OS, and "Software Modified" error on a bootloader locked, previously unmodified (far as you know) phone; often means the OS has become damaged/corrupted.
I don't think your version (O2) has an official HTC RUU tool, which would make it pretty easy to get running again. The device can possibly still be recovered, but the process is not trivial. You would need to unlock the bootloader (HTCdev.com process), flash custom recovery TWRP, then install stock TWRP backup 6.13.206.5 from here (with further instructions herein): https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
All personal data on the phone will be lost in the process (data on removable SD will remain, if there is one installed). But if your daughter has not used the phone in months, maybe the personal data on it is not important?

TWRP backup 6.13.206.5 is in Post #3 of the same thread (scroll down, third post of that thread), it says that right in the instructions for Step #2.
You don't need stock recovery (step #3). This is only to receive updates, which doesn't apply to this device anymore (updates stopped at Marshmallow) and not useful for what you are trying to so (just restore stock ROM/TWRP backup). So you can skip step #2, as well as stop at Step #9, and just reboot (and hopefully stock ROM will boot). No need to do steps 10 and on. In fact, it is detrimental in doing so, since if you need to use TWRP again, it will be gone if you flash stock recovery.

Followed all these instructions and it said that the restore was successful. However when I reboot the phone is stuck on the white startup screen. Any further advice?

Some things to try:
- Did you do the wipes as directed in the guide (Dalvik, cache, data, system) before the restore?
- What version of TWRP did you install? If you followed the guide correctly, it should be 2.8.7 (and older versions may not be compatible with your firmware) which is tried and true. But you can also try other versions after 2.8.7 (up to current 3.2.3-1) from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
- Make sure it was the backup version 6.13.206.5 that you restored. Download and restore the backup again, to be sure the files wasn't corrupted. Make sure you restore both system and boot.img partitions.
- After restore, do the default wipe in TWRP (slightly different from what you wiped before: Dalvik, cache, data, but not system), just to be sure.

I was using TWRP 2.8.7 but updated to 3.2.3-1 and downloaded backup 6.13.206.5 again. I got the same result so continued to your original instructions and followed to number 12 and it worked. Thank you so much for your patience and expertise.

You need to use HTC fastboot and adb files and then on your pc use command prompt fastboot getvar all
Sorry but I now cannot remember where I got this information, I did a lot of searches on google.

You're quite welcome. Glad it worked out for you.
Not sure why it didn't work the first or second time. Maybe you missed a step, or did something slightly incorrect. Of just some glitch, that was not any fault of yours (it happens). Persistence is key, sometimes!
