[Q] updating to lollipop with s-on help needed please - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI
first thanks for taking the time to help me i really appreciate it
i have an htc m8 ,m8_ul, , s-on ,unlocked bootloader, cid htc_621 , hboot 3.19 , radio 1.22
device currenly bricked but can access booloader and recovery (used to have a 5.0 rom)
i want to upgrade to latest lollipop version can i do that with s-on?
how can i do it?
thanks in advance guys
help much appreciated

by latest lollipop i would assume sense6 and not cm12.
I have installed cm12 on my m8 for a few month now. Getting the latest ATT update has been a pain so far as I cannot downgrade to kitkat.
if you are on a kitkat version then go to setting -> about -> check for updates and you are good to go. just make sure to use wifi.

yes i want sense 6
So i will restore the stock backup
flash stock recovery
Relock bootloader then get ota?
But with my cid will i get the latest updates?

anyone?

What software build are you on, e.g. 3.17.709.2?

NO, it won't. CID check will fail, and the RUU will not run.

Mostly correct, but you don't need to relock the bootloader (nor do I recommend you do so).
You'll get the latest OTA for your CID. I am not clear what you mean by "latest updates". If you intend is to be on the stock ROM for your CID, you don't want a more recent update for another carrier.

Android 4.0.3
Software 1.15.401.1
I want to install RUU to receive OTA. I have rooted the phone but have not flashed a custom firmware. I have twrp 2.3.1.0 recovery and have backed up my stock rom. I am very luck to have s-off but i dont want to install a custom rom yet. I have been doing alot of reading and have not figured the right way of doing this.
Do i need to relock the bootloader even if i have s-off? Don't know why i unlocked it in the first place!
Do i need to install a stock recovery or can i keep twrp 2.3.1.0 or will the RUU do this for me?
I was going to flash this RUU first RUU 1.26.401.2 if i do flash this will s-off change to s-on?
Can someone inform me the right way about doing this. Appreciate the help.
thanks
You don't have to relock bootloader to receive OTA. And please do not run a RUU. You'll lose superCID(111111).
If you want to receive OTA, you'll need the stock recovery..... TWRP will not work.

nooo you will not use your s-off & supercid for sure !!!
I did this a week ago to recieve ota
relock you bootloader just in case then run ota as administrator your s-off & supercid will not change !!!
RUU has nothing to do with changing your phone to S-ON or your cid
we s-offers dont have to worry about cids
Im s-off too lol
if you need something pm me
good luck

You keep repeating it, it'll make him move quicker.
If your phone is not receiving the OTA 4.2.2 update...it has not yet rolled out for your current CID/country/carrier/whatever. It is rolling out and if you wait you get it.
Or install a custom ROM if you don't want to wait.
Thank you
And ...no....you do not have to relock the bootloader to get and install ota's

Do you have unlocked bootloader? If you have, just install adb and fastboot drivers, then plug m8 into pc and enter fastboot mode. Watch from 2:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HWj_1KHbuY and do the same
after you do all that, just put some rom into sdcard or usb, and flash it.

You can't find the proper RUU? Did you try to run an RUU not meant for your device? You should just get errors and the process should halt.
What does it say next to "OS" in your bootloader menu? That will tell you your current firmware version. Does it have two different versions with the newer one in red? If so you need to run the RUU again. The first run just updated the hboot.
There's nothing on the os.

Post the results of fastboot getvar all. Edit out your IMEI and serial# from it first. That is private information you should never post on a public forum.
I already PM you the pictures of my phone.
Why can't you write your
hboot no.
version-main no.
CID
MID
here .. so people can help you ?
If you have those data .. check the thread linked in my signature to see whether there is one backup for you or not.

Hboot 3.19
Version-main blank (of course same as OS in bootloader) You need to update your recovery @fitsuhaimi
CID HTC__621
MID 0P6B11000
He has the M8x. 709 firmware. No RUU for that version AFAIK.

Go to @ckpv5's thread. Link here.
You'll need the backup that is 4.24.709.2 (judging from your baseband you are on Lollipop). The 709 part is crucial! That is for your version of M8 and you can't flash a backup (or RUU, or firmware) made for other versions.
Can you tech me step by step what i should do.
im not that good at this kinda thing but im really interested in learning. And also it can save my phone.

First thing you need to do is update your recovery to TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Then go to the thread I linked you to, and follow the instructions in post #1 (skip the first step~update recovery). You'll need the 4.24.709.2 backup that is in post #3.
You can stop at step 9. You just need the ROM backup and not the stock recovery. After step 9 just reboot.

Error 155 is usually a firmware or HTC signigature issue.. just flash the old lp firmware and run the ruu. Gotta downgrade firmware before the ruu will match the signatures.
any guide or reference for that?

Not possible on S-On, only on S-Off
And to OP ... make sure you don't flash a GSM firmware on your Sprint device, it may brick the radio or totally brick it.

It worked.. thanks for the help.
Can someone explain step by step of downgrading please.I have Sprin HTC One 8 . I hate marshmallow , my phone battery is drained after couple hours, it's warming up, I lost my contacts, contacts don't want to sync from FB etc. How I can downgrade back to previous software. Thank you.

Cool. So what is the question?
There is some info on the thread about how to downgrade. But to be any more specific, you need to give some info about your phone (fastboot getvar all, and post the results - delete your IMEI and serial number before posting).
Frustrating
This is very frustrating, I can not downgrade due to the firmware issue. Where can I get an older firmware for
a developer phone, s-off and bs_us001?
tpteam6, how did you find yours? I search, but found nothing. Some twrp nand backup stuff.

Update with RUU?

Hi guys,
Rooting the 10 is a pain compared to the 6p -.-
Anyway, I would like to root my 10 but I'm not on the latest firmware (1.30.401.1) and there is no updates. My cid is J_15.
My question is can I update via the RUU i found here http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html ?
Thanks

That cid looks incomplete. usually they are 8 characters.
What is your stock software number?
If it's not 1.21.617.3 then you can't use that RUU.

I'm really confused about a few things:
1) in your op you said you were not on the latest firmware, then when I asked for your software number you listed the latest firmware (1.30.401.1)
2) what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Yes.
The thread was actually made for people who are S-On as a way to update firmware. With S-Off you don't need to return to stock to update your firmware.

You need one for your carrier, or more specifically the version that matches your current firmware and your CID/MID
---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------
You can find your CID and MID in your bootloader menu. Your current firmware version is also listed there under "OS"
EDIT: on the M8 the MID won't be there, but your CID and firmware version will be. That is all you need
