Going back to stock - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here is my necessary fastboot getvar details:
bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
version-main: 4.18.720.8
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
modelid: 0P6B65000
cidnum: 11111111
I want to go back to stock with 4.16.401.10 base. I wanted to know if I can flash a firmware for 4.16.401.10 on my device, but I also read that my MID also needs to be changed. I'm very confused about the whole process. I want to know what it takes to flash the firmware 4.16.401.10 on my device and also if I can also go to stock with that. Please help me. Consider me a noob. I would really appreciate your help.
I'm taking all these steps, because if I want to go back to stock, I can RUU for 4.16.401.10

Why not just use the 4.18.720.8 RUU? The FW is the same so you can use the Lollipop ROMs without issues

[Q] wifi issue with 3.28.401.7

Hi,
version-bootloader: 3.18.0.00
version-baseband: 1.19.213311
version-cpld: None
version-microp: None
version-main: 2.26.73.2
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
CID: ORANG202
I tried to install the One_M8_3.28.401.7_odexed.zip, but now I lost the wifi.
I can't update the firmware because I can't s-off, or maybe I don't know how.
What can I do to fix this issue ? install an old version or the orange version ?
Thank you for your help,

Your version-main is your firmware. You are still on 2.26.xxx. The 3.28.401.7 that you see in settings > about phone is the ROM base (software version). You need to either update your firmware to 401.7 or later (actually 401.6 will work too, but I don't want to be confusing), or use a 4.4.3 based ROM for your wifi to work. There are tutorials all over XDA, but since you are S-On, you will probably have to run the 4.4.4 RUU in fastboot.
You can download the RUU here.

Go to this thread.
Find the stock ROM and recovery backups there for your phone. The thread explains how to find them.
Once you get back to stock you can take the OTAs to update your firmware.

[Q] SkyDragon 5.0.1 firmware

Hi all,
Currently I'm running Viper 1.8.0 ( Android 4.4.2 ) as you can see I'm behind my update schedule.
I'd love to give LP a try but in the SkyDragon thread I can see that i should check my firmware before upgrading to ensure WiFi is working.
Now the problem is that when i want to check my firmware there are no numbers so I have no clue what to update to.
Could anyone push me into the right direction to ensure a smooth upgrade ?
Other specs when booting into bootloader
- Tampered
- Unlocked
- M8_UL
- S-ON
- OS- [ This line is empty ]
Its a bit confusing, but OS or software number will actually not tell you the firmware number. The OS numbers will just tell you what software build the ROM was based off of, and will change if you flash the ROM.
To check firmware, look at hboot and radio number and post those here.
But essentially:
hboot 3.16 = 1.x firmware
hboot 3.17 = 2.x firmware
hboot 3.19 = 3.x firmware; and also 4.x (not many of those have OTA'ed yet)
Hi, excuse me for my late response.
My HBoot is 3.16. Beneath is an output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Code:

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000

Actually i frankly do not mind what rom I should take next as long as its a 'stable' 5.0.x version.
Also right now I'm still running Venom 1.8.0 on 4.4.2.
I read about sunshine and S-OFF the device but I was thinking about reverting to stock and OTA updating.
Or should I proceed otherwise.
Thanks in advance !

If you want to run Lollipop Sense, you need Lollipop firmware. Has Lollipop OTA started rolling out for your version yet? Far as I know, only the Dev Edition have gotten it, in addition to some Euro versions (just started rolling out yesterday).
If your version hasn't gotten the LP OTA yet, you either need to wait or s-off and update the firmware "manually".

And what if I dont care about Sense, would i be update without changing my firmware ?
Also the only 'working' method I read about is Sunshine or does firewater still work ? I'm a bit careful because of the risks involved.
Any idea what would be my next step ? And what ROM should I keep as a backup, since I dont have a copy of Venom 1.8.0
Thanks in advance,
- Wickedd
Or would I be able to grab a 'factory' ROM for my device and let it update OTA, at least so I'm off my current ROM.

If the intent is to install Skydragon GPE, you need 4.4.4 firmware, as it states right in Post #2 of the Skydragon thread.
Your current firmware is very old. There aren't many (if any) current ROMs that it will support. You need to update firmware one way or another.

Sunshine is the only way to s-off. Firewater was discontinued in December.

Yes, this will get you on whatever current firmware your carrier version has had released.
You need the stock ROM and the stock recovery for your CID, in order for OTA to install. Root and unlocked bootloader are okay to OTA.
Thanks again for your help, When i check this thread I can't seem to find any numbers matching mine. So what image and recovery am I going to flash ?

Also : Firewater is discontinued in December, but my rom is in a state way before that. A reason to get my hopes up ? Also any risk in trying ?
Thanks in advance

hboot 3.16 means you are on 1.x firmware (and 1.x software before you flashed custom ROM). Which one from there is anyone's guess (1.12 or 1.54). I'd guess to try the more recent 1.x ROM, or 1.54.161.10.

Nope, absolutely no reason to get your hopes up. Firewater was an online service, so it will not work anymore.
When I said it was discontinued, I meant it. If there was a reason to think it would work, I would have said so.

There's a button for that.
How can I confirm this ? The only one I found was 1.54.401.5 as build number That'd be my firmware ?
Oh but the stock ROM doesn't have to match my current build number, so with 1.54.161.10 for VODAP102 i'd be good right ?

[Q] upgrade my firmware?

Hello.

CID is US Developers Edition. All RUUs are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
If you are trying to run a Lollipop Sense ROM, the 4.16 RUU will update you to the right firmware.
You will need to relock your bootloader to run RUU (since you are s-off) with command: fastboot oem lock

Need stock details of my m8.

Hi there, recently i bought used m8 and its android version is 4.4.3, it is made in ireland as htc said. It is s-off and has supercid 11111, It means previous owner customized this device. I need to know its orignal Cid and Mid so i will update it to marshmallow( since i am not receving ota updates), so please help me out what should i do...I also dont know it has stock rom/ recovery. Bootloader is locked. I guess it has stock recovery. I want any stock upgrade because this rom has many bugs like delaying messeges e.t.c. Thanks in advance

Power off your phone, then boot it up by holding both the power button + vol down. This will take you to the bootloader. Post here what it says there. To navigate in the bootloader, use the vol keys to change selections, and the power button to select. You'll need to know that to select reboot.

Already mentioned:
CID:111111
S-Off
Bootloader is locked and i guess it have stock recovery.
Software number is: 2.11.708.2
I think rom is stock because it matchs with stock software number. But i want to upgrade so suggest me what should i do.

Already mentioned where? Certainly not here. That CID means absolutely nothing.
And the ROM is stock because it matches with what? You have matched the OS version in bootloader, or the version-main number in you getvar with the software version in settings > about you mean?
If that is your software number, then you probably are stock, since I don't know of any ROMs that use 708 as a base.
Do you have TWRP recovery still installed? You can tell if you boot to bootloader and then boot to recovery (you need to select hboot to get the recovery option in bootloader). If the TWRP logo comes up, then you do, and this will be an easy fix by going to this thread to find a stock ROM backup and stock recovery for you to flash back to stock so that you can get OTA updates on your device.
Twrp is not installed.....its still on stock recovery....i matched the software number from the settings in about section with other device running this OS.
The main prob is its supercid is changed so i dont know which rom is compatible with it.

Well, almost any new ROM isn't compatible because your firmware is too old. You need to update that first. That's what I'm trying to help you with here.
Also, that phone isn't Irish. None of them are. UK yes, Ireland no. It's an Asian model. Specifically, from Hong Kong.
The only way I could offer help is if you were to unlock the bootloader again. Instead I will mention @ckpv5 here (he'll get a notification because of the mention) because I'm pretty sure he has a link to the RUU you need to update.
He's a really helpful guy, and will respond here when he sees the notification. He's not logged in now, so just be patient.
Good luck!

Your device has Hong Kong firmware but the MID is EU.
You won't get OTA with this combination.
I suggest to install EU RUU as this is easier, no need to change MID to Hong Kong.
You can follow this, direct update to the latest Marshmallow
