Forget this sorted it all out, now running SRom ported lollipop with sense 7 from the M9. Hboot no red text and faux locked/original/son. Super CID.
For the record, it's always a firmware/dalvic cache problem (98%)
Hi Guys so Im rooted running Android Revoluton HD ROMs on an international O2 phone S-on
I thought I would wipe the entire phone, bleach it like a PC and reinstall.
Not a problem except various elements dont work.
I installed Stock ROM (I think KitKat)
I installed ARHD 22. (Kit Kat) everything worked
I installed ARHD 34.(Jellybean Sense 6) no wifi
I installed ARDH 40.(Jellybean Sense 7) no HTC TV
I installed ARHD 41.(Jellybean Sense7) no images in Blinkfeed?
I know its probably because I wiped the misc folder but up until I did a clean wipe I could use all of these roms without a glitch.
So is it firmware?
What do I need to put back on my phone for them all to work
I am S-on at the moment and I know that isnt whats stopping these roms working.
Any suggestions?

It's firmware. You most probably have kitkat firmware and lolipop based roms will mess up your wifi and stuff. Take an ota or stay on kitkat.
Thanks will try
Do I just flash the zip file?
Im sure I probs do

If you are S-ON don't flash firmware. Just don't. You can flash rom zips, recoveries, kernels. You can write on these partitions with s-on: recovery, boot, system and data.
I've just used Sunshine to get S-off, what a joy to use!
So now I can just flash them right?
I've got my cid number matched it up with the ota and bingo?
Right?

well im come from HTC One M7, and as long as the M8 is pretty much the same, you dont need s-off to flash the same firmware which your already on, or the next one step up, after all, this is exactly what an OTA does for you.
However, now your s-off anyway, you canflash any RUU or firmware you like, just make sure cid and mid match first. :good:
EDIT: there ia also no need to lock or re-lock the bootloader to flash anything now that your S-off, leave it unlocked all the time for everything, its a common problem on the M7 forums at the moment, people who are s-off or even s-on, locking bootloaders with custom rom's or recovery's on thier phones.
Thanks, so with the ota there are two for O2 my cid is O2___001 am I right that I can take the 001 OR the 002?

in all honesty, I would of thought the CID 001 and 002 were in the same ota, have you checked the android-info.txt file within the OTA itself, its just a zip file.
possible to post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number please, also a link to the OTA's your downloading would be good.
Well I've just tried to flash both....I enter recovery instal zip right?
It's giving me an error.
Will tell you that info in a minute when I get on my pc

personnaly, if your just trying to get to Lollipop, I would change my CID to HTC__001 (thats 2 underscores, CID is always 8 digits)
Change MID if required.
and then flash the WWE International Lollipop full RUU, piece of cake. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563
But if the original isn't flashing what hope have I got with an HTC one. It's interesting to know though that I can change it.
So what next?

Flashing an OTA manually is a different kettle of fish, its just an OTA not a full RUU, and you would still have to be full stock in order for it to succeed.
however, if you just require the firmware in order to use a custom LP rom, then just pull the firmware.zip out of the OTA and flash it.
you would then have to put a custom recovery back on your phone, copy a rom to your sdcard, and flash it from within TWRP recovery.
And im trying to flash O2 OTA

you already have the latest firmware on your phone !!!
I installed ARHD 41.( Sense7) no images in Blinkfeed? ------ pulled from your first post, this is a common problem, if you mean its face ache, there is a fix for it on playstore.
OK is tere an RUU for O2 uk?
So im extracting the firmware at the mo, then I will flash it then I will try and install ARHD 41....
Im right that the O2___002 is an upgraded version of the 001 and its what I need right?
Otherwise im just replacing like for like.

nope O2___002 is a different cid, you need to use the 001 files, however, its the same as you already have on your phone.
CID is just carrier ID, so O2___001 will be something like O2 UK and 002 might be something like O2 france, no difference in files, just different regions.

Make sure of a couple of things when flashing a custom ROM, check for problems other are having with it, by reading some of the later posts is what I always do, just a few pages, also and this is a must, read the OP's flashing instructions, so many people bypass this step, the most important step is to make sure your using the dev's recommended custom recovery for flashing.
I always full wipe before flashing anything, so in TWRP first factory reset, and then goto wipe - advanced - select everything except your internal storage and SDcard, and then always reboot back into recovery after the wipes before flashing the rom, it will nag you and say you have no OS installed, ignore it and Do Not Intall to SuperSU, the custom rom flash will do that for you.
During the rom installation, again I always select full wipe when given the option, you then know you have a clean slate to build the rom on.

Your firmware is already current, and should work with latest ARHD. Blinkfeed not showing image is a known issue reported by others.
No need to mess with RUUs or firmware zips.

Hi Guys,
It's been a while since I wrote on this forum... I may be tired, but I can't work out a few things:
I have a T-Mobile UK HTC One X, due to some circumstances I needed to completely wipe...
I was already running an unbranded stock firmware on it, but after the complete wipe i wanted to install JB 4.2.2 S5 - I usually unlock the bootloader, install clockworks, copy the original unedited complete firmware zip on it and install it via the recovery, then relock the bootloader and job done, but I cannot seem to find a complete unedited rom, is either RUU.exe (which I cannot run as the PC wont see the phone due to no firmware on it, I think) or nandrom backups which I don't really want, all the OTA ones seem to just be updates and am stuck with a phone that only has clockwork recovery on it....
Where can I get an official unedited zip that I can install via clockworks?
Thanks

You have good hboot for sense 5 rom 4.2.2 install MaximusHD or ARHD or any sense 5 rom and you are ready to go.
I wanted a stock ROM, the Mrs is not very technical minded lol and a customer ROM won't help her, either TMO UK or in branded, where can I get the RUU for it?
Thanks all
Unfortunately T-Mobile skipped the sense 5, 4.2.2 update, I have the same device and cid and called them countless times, spoke to managers and had it escalated to the highest level only to be told they would not be updating past 4.1.1
Every other network pushed that but them, if you stick to stock T-Mobile ROM you would be missing 2 very important updates, one being the heartbleed patch.
Just grab MaximusHD from the development forum, its the best sense 5 ROM out there and has important ota updates too.
I suppose I will have install it via the custom recovery, could I not install the unbranded RUU 4.2.2? Does anyone know how to s-off correctly, so that I can change the CID.
By the way thank you all for your replies

Have you flashed a custom recovery on the device? If yes, just try to restore a nandroid back from @Mr Hofs thread and your phone will be fine
Problem is, I don't think there is any nandroid backups available for his device LRA__001. First time I've seen that CID mentioned. Going by MID doesn't help much either, I think the Verizon has the same MID. Going by the "product: m8_wlv" it also indicates Verizon. I do see that he's on AT&T on his profile though but...
Being stuck on bootloader screen for 10minutes or more won't be surprising at all if he flashed a 2.xx.xxx.x firmware based custom ROM instead of a 1.xx.xxx.x version. Need to upgrade firmware in order to do that.
You don't happen to recall what version software your device ran?
Hi, I had the 2.7 TWRP recovery but found the 2.8.0.6 works better. I was able to flash PA ROM and it is working now. Plus now is rooted and S-off and super CID.
The phone has no branding and bought from amazon as unlock from factory. But is funny you mention Verizon has similar IDs because when I plug the phone to HTC sync the first splash screen shows Verizon wireless assistant and then go to the normal HTC one.
I tried the latest HD ROM and it was force closing a lot so I think the firmware is 1.... Something. I want to upgrade but don't know which one to get. Maybe I should look on the Verizon forum, thanks for letting me know that.
I spoke with developer support at HTC and they told me they will help restore to stock and escalated the call. I will let you know if they do help.
Thanks for the replies.

Honestly if its that much of a hassle, you should stick with something safe, Change the MID and CID to a Dev Edition/Europe, to do a full convert and you wont have to worry about the LRA_001. If you do those 2 steps the the OTA will be automatic as follows.
Else just flash a custom recovery, wipe data/cache and so and restore with one of the TWRP backups posted around here and you'll be good to go :good:
Cool I will try that. I did not know that.

Don't forget though, best steps as follow, change MID, CID, restore via TWRP backup. If youre in Europe then change the MID to EUR, but the CID change it to super CID. Youve gotten past the hardest part which is the SOFF so everything is a breeze from there on out.
You won't lose your internal data if you do any of the following steps but dumping them on your SD card would be safe too.
I had an SG manufactured one, and the OTA came out pretty weird, was an unbranded one too. changed it to Dev/Unlocked MID and the super CID, downloaded the B_US002 TWRP dump thats posted here and restored that. Might want to download the OTA too aswell would save massive time after the first 159MB ota.
Awesome. Thanks!

contacted HTC dev and they provided me a zip, flashing that didn't help much, still no signals and can't boot into stock recovery.
seems like i've flashed the wrong hboot or something that's causing everything to be flashed on wrong partition addresses.
any help ?

HI,
I just bought an unlock htc m8 no branding any where. I unlocked the bootloader and flash a custom recovery but when I tried to root the phone something went wrong because I'm stuck on the boot screen and it would not go past it. I have been looking every where how to fix it, I don't have a nandroid back up and don't know which one to look for. Is there a way to restore it back to normal? I also tried flashing a custom rom but it gets stuck in the same place.
please help.
thanks.

This isn't the same issue as the OP. You flashed the wrong firmware which is much more serious. This thread isn't relevant to your issue, in addition to being over a year old (which also most likely won't help your issue).

I am just trying to trace ppl with the same variant so I can request them to dump couple of partitions for me. and there is no relevant thread for this particular variant, some says it s bluegrass some says its verizon variant, but according to HTCDev its actually rural area variant.

The LRA version is the LRA version. there's no question there. Its based on Verizon, but its not Verizon.
Sounds like you are trying to make up solutions. What you need is LRA firmware or RUU (RUU may not exist).

i've got complete RUU from HTCDev to flash via hboot, did flash that but lost the IMEI and baseband version under settings > about, however the getvar all is still showing that information. so just trying to figure out what went wrong. either something is missing in what they have provided. or the hboot version is mismatching.
read bout the boot process and got to know that hboot reads IMEI and baseband while booting up and holds into some shared memory variables which later read by kernel.
just trying to figure out things and also looking for somebody who can provide dumps so i can try flashing them.

You flashed a hacked Verizon RUU. Its not the LRA RUU, and its also not an official RUU.

No I explained them my case and they asked to couple of days time and then they provided a zip file to flash via hboot. They claimed that they have prepared this file especially for me. I flashed that file. It was 5.0.1 with almost all the images.
One thing that I doubt is that the hboot is not updated since the android-info.txt says hbootpreupdate=12 and my getvar says 11 so just wondering whether it was updated or not.
Also I dumped mmcblk0p3 (board-info) and I can see my IMEI there too.
Just don't know where to nock my head

they send me the wrong files a couple of times. But they did get me the right one at the end. it seems you have the same problem I did. I still the hboot file and the system image. The hboot zip should be installed on download mode and the system image should be rename to OP6BIMG.zip and put in the sd card and re-start the phone in bootloader and let the zip install itself. It takes a long time but it worked. I have the files in my google drive I don't mind sharing it.

A friend of mine messed up his phone when trying to root it. He couldn't explain to me what he did exactly but the phone wouldn t boot anymore. He then tried to flash a rom he got from the htc one m8 android development section. Then phone booted into the os but he had all sorts of problems no signal/camera didn t work etc. I tried to help him get his phone back to stock i flashed the stock recovery.img and boot.img from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994 then tried to flash the stock rom also from that link, but it didn t work out. With these thing said i later found out that the carrier number was T-MOB009(not a htc cid as he told me) so i don't think what i did was wise.
How can i get his phone back to the stock rom?
i can enter bootloader and recovery(which is stock as i flashed it from that link), i will post more about the phone when i will have it.

Grab the nandroid backup for T-MOB009 from the Collection thread
Flash custom recovery(TWRP seeing as the backup was made with TWRP).
Boot into recovery and restore the back up.
ROM he downloaded and installed was probably one of the 3.x ROMs and the issues(Radio - wifi, bluetooth, data etc) all came about as a result of outdated firmware...He probably never bothered to read that he should have the latest firmware before taking the latest ROM.
Ty for your answer. I will try this as soon as i get a hold of the phone. I will get back with feedback.

Hm, it's not supposed to do that, obviously
Check to see if maybe airplane mode isn't selected, try erasing cache, try factory reset(if all else fails) .

Edit your post and remove the serial no and IMEI you don't share those.
your version number is missing but I'm guessing it would be 3.x considering you did the update.
by reverting to 4.4.2 do you mean just restoring a nandroid ? and it fixes the wifi ?
Try manually flashing the kernel after the update
or flash a custom kernel for 3.x if you can't find the stock one

Ok so i helped my friend flash the revolution 21 hd rom and everything works just fine. My question is why do i need to flash the latest firmware when installing the latest stock rom, but when installing custom roms that does not seem to be the case?

You need latest firmware for latest custom ROMs as well. Especially as far as the radio is concerned, if you don't have latest firmware you might experience problems with everything related to the radio i.e Data connectivity, wifi, bluetooth

How do I go back to stock sense?
After rooting my device, I downloaded a few roms and none of them worked except Skydragon.
I'm getting kinda tired of the stock lollipop and want to go back to sense but I cant. The other roms get me stuck on bootloader.
I tried downloading the RUU 0p6bimg.zip to revert back to stock but I wasnt able to transfer it to my SD card. I then downloaded it directly to my sdcard and went into hboot.
hboot says the file is too big and wont let me do anything.
I'm S-ON

Heres all I have tried so far:
1) flashing different firmwares but they keep failing. (yes, I ran it twice, sometimes more) Im not sure whether getting the right firmware will help, I saw somewhere it does. Am I using the wrong ones?
2) I tried RUUs as well, but it fails at 1/7. The last one I checked said it would update to 4.16.1540.8, then said please get the right RUU. :S
I'm not sure which that is.
3) several different recovery files as well, including stock ones and running Sense-based roms and supersu after. The phone reboots back into recovery mode.
1. It will fail if you don't use the one originally for your devices CID
2. There aren't any RUUs for the M8_UL_CA
3. You need to find the one that matches your CID

It looks like your device is originally AT&T
1. If you want to try to flash firmware only, you need to relock bootloader
download the signed firmware here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-4-4-4-firmware-signed-encrypted-t3031703
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip .....( again for the 2nd time)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
see whether you can successfully flash this firmware. If yes, you can try option 2.
2. RUU - still you need to relock bootloader and run this RUU (run as Administrator)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58949364&postcount=36
3. You need to revert your partition to Sense partition then only you can restore/flash Sense based ROMs/backup
Means you need that option 1 or option 2
They're S-ON, so it's not a full conversion
Based on android-info.txt for GPE

Any device with CID/MID as OP has, can run a signed GPE RUU with S-On
I don't know whether OP can revert to Sense from GPE when the signed firmware has same CID/MID ... and no harm to try as OP has a S-On device. Maybe can because same hboot version 3.19.0000 and maybe cannot because of software version (cannot downgrade from lollipop to 4.4.4)
okay so basically i need to relock my bootloader, flash a different firmware and then I can install a Sense Rom, correct?
Am I understanding this correctly? Relock bootloader, flash firmware, unlock bootloader again, install rom.
Will the firmware you linked above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-4-4-4-firmware-signed-encrypted-t3031703) be able to install a ROM like the latest Viper or the latest Android Revolution? Im only assuming it would be like this:
Also, can someone tell me what I needed to write to relock the bootloader please?
Before we talk about flashing other ROM, you need to try whether you can successfully flash the signed firmware or not. If successful, this will take you to Sense 4.4.4 not lollipop. If fails, then you need a lollipop firmware for your device version. Don't you remember anything about your original software before GPE ... or your device is original GPE ? Which is which now ? If it is original GPE, then nothing you can do to convert to Sense without S-Off (I assume original is not GPE because you first question is "How do I go back to stock sense?")
You need the one that said "Stock signed/encrypted (includes stock boot and recovery)"
My device was originally Sense. I installed Skydragon and Android Revolution back then but wasn't getting wifi. I updated my firmware, but only Skydragon seemed to be working after I did so. I havent been able to go to any Sense ROMs since.
I guess so ... you wrongly flashed a signed GPE firmware. That is why you can only install a GPE ROM.
So.. can't you remember at all what device that you have ?
Try that option 1 and see how it goes.

This means your device is AT&T .. now your partition is back to Sense partition.
But this is only a 4.4.4 firmware because there is no lollipop 5.0.1 for AT&T yet for now.
If you want to revert everything to stock Sense, do option 2. Remember your first question is "How do I go back to stock sense?" and your thread title "Returning to stock sense" .... I help you to achieve this. More than this, I'm not so sure as I'm not familiar with AT&T device.
If you want to try any lollipop base custom ROM, you need to re-unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP - use 2.8.3.0 (not sure whether 2.8.4.0 & 2.8.5.0 can work on 4.4.4 or not), most important never ever use your old TWRP 2.7.0.2
then you can install that custom ROM .. and see any problem with wifi or not. I cannot help on custom ROM matter as I don't use one.
I suggest you do option 2, re-unlock, flash TWRP and make a backup of your stock ROM before you try that custom lollipop ROM..

If you want to try any lollipop base custom ROM, you need to re-unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP - use 2.8.3.0 (not sure whether 2.8.4.0 & 2.8.5.0 can work on 4.4.4 or not), most important never ever use your old TWRP 2.7.0.2
then you can install that custom ROM .. and see any problem with wifi or not. I cannot help on custom ROM matter as I don't use one.
I suggest you do option 2, re-unlock, flash TWRP and make a backup of your stock ROM before you try that custom lollipop ROM..

Ok so, let me understand. Option 2 means I need to relock and run the RUU as administrator. After that I can run any Sense ROM even if its the new Lolipop sense roms? Or can only 4.4.4 roms work?
If its the ladder, can I simply relock and install a 4.4.4 custom sense ROM? Will that work?
If you want to run custom ROM, then no need option 2.
As I said earlier ...you need to re-unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP - use 2.8.3.0 (not sure whether 2.8.4.0 & 2.8.5.0 can work on 4.4.4 or not), most important never ever use your old TWRP 2.7.0.2
You can try lollipop. If it is not running perfect for your device then any Sense custom base 4.4.4 ROM should work. (e.g.- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748588)
the lollipop roms worked! thank you!!
Hello,
I want to buy a second hand HTC M8 and it has a issue with wi-fi.. it won't turn on or connect to wi-fi. from the screen shots i see that it has network (3g network). the guy selling the m8 says that a friend of his tried to put a custom rom on the phone and after that the wifi stopped working. here are the printscreens send by him. could you tell me if i can repair it myself or it is the wi-fi chip damaged.
Wifi doesn't work because the ROM is 4.4.4 but device is still 4.4.2
(can see this from the baseband version)
You can easily fix this by put in correct ROM version
can it be done without s-off? with a ruu.exe?
This s the bootloader

You better remove the 3rd pic where it shows the IMEI no. & Serial No. Those are sensitive data.
Anyway ... checked your IMEI, it is a EU version, so there is a RUU available which you can directly update it to the latest Lollipop version 4.16.401.10
thanks. will remove those pictures. i will but it tonight.
Is it for a good price due to WiFi not working? If so, the devil on my right shoulder says it serves them right for modding the phone without doing the proper research! Or researching properly to (easily) fix the problem, for that matter.
the price is ok. my old htc m7 + 100 euro

Help me to get it stock please !!
Remove serial no. in your post
I'll write simple guide on how to get back on stock and update to the latest lollipop when I'm home in next 3 - 4 hrs (if no one attend to this yet)
i see that the phone has Vodap001 CID but the soft on it (rooted one) is for the HTC_00x CID.. problem? i have got a stock backup, unzipped it, putted in TWRP backup folder, now i restore it and after that flash the stock recovery?? is that all?
It's a Vodafone UK M8, but still easy restored to stock
To be honest, I'd get it back to 1.54.161.x using the backups @ckpv5 will post, S-OFF with Sunshine and then convert it to the unbranded handset using the 4.16.401.10 RUU (using the guide in my signature)
skirmish please .. one m7 i could do it with no problem but this guy kills me
Can't write proper guide as I'm driving....
Follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59034701&postcount=4
But don't use that 3.29.161.9, you need to restore 1.54.161.10 and its recovery then proceed multiple OTA up to lollipop 4.19.161.2
You can get the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58606328&postcount=4278
Note : if you have plan to S-Off your device, do it after restore 1.54.161.10
if you want to keep it S-On, just proceed OTA. Later you can install any custom lollipop ROM if you want to

you could follow my guide on the viperone thread , steps 1 to 6 would get you onto stock android lollipop with a stock recovery , just do a full setup at step 6 , my guide proceeds past this point to then install a custom recovery and a custom rom but if you stop at step 6 after setting up the phone you will be unbranded stock
hope this helps
