I just got an update.
my current ver is : 2.22.709.3
Update ver: 2.22.709.4
I have a custom recovery and root. no s-off.
How do i correctly update the phone without doing any dmg?
i know i need to download the update, extract the recovery.img, flash it so i will have the original recovery.
but do i need to unroot and lock bootloader?

Sure you can download it and extract OR you can just go COLLECTION of Stock backup's and download the stock recovery. Both the 2.22.709.3 and 2.22.709.4 is in that thread.
Flash back the stock recovery and lock bootloader seeing as you're S-ON. Do the update and you can go ahead and do what you want again. You'll probably lose root yes, you can just get it back again no problem.
Edit: Not needed to relock bootloader as mentioned by ckpv5 :good: :victory:
There is no need to extract the stock recovery from the OTA, we have stock recovery 2.22.709.3 and 2.22.709.4 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
There is no need to unroot as you will lose root anyway with the update, then you need to re-root
And most important is there is no need to lock bootloader. Leave it unlocked.

You beat me this time
But I need to correct one thing, there is no need to relock bootloader for OTA whether it's S-On or S-Off.
Relock bootloader for S-On is needed only when flashing signed htc firmware or run RUU

Ah ok, I can remember in the stock collection thread it was mentioned that we needed to relock if S-ON, I did see someone else say different but wasn't sure about it. That's cool then. :good:
another 2 really quick questions:
1 - My HTC wont go into debugging mode. i enable it, there is that little window popping and saying if i want to accept this computer, i checked "YES", and then nothing happends. even ADB Devices wont recognize.
2 - You guys recommend s-off? whenever HTC releases Android L, having S - Off would be good or bad?

Yeah ... many times people say this ... until Mr Hofs himself ask one fellow from where he got the info that need to relock bootloader for OTA

1. make sure your ADB version is not lower than 1.0.31
2. S-Off is good and bad..
good for people who knows what he is doing
and bad for people who doesn't know what he is doing as he can easily brick his device.
When HTC release Android L... it got nothing to do with S-On or S-Off

You are not reading.....it's been said 2 times at least :
1: you do NOT have to relock for an ota !
2: what you need is
- stock rom with UNMODIFIED system (root is NO issue)
- stock kernel (boot.img)
- stock recovery
Then you can update !
Hello guys, anyone knows where can I download the stock recovery 2.22.709.4? I can't find the file in the link that ckpv5 share:

I follow a video tutorial: how-to-get-ota-updates-on-a-rooted-htc-one-m8

My HTC M8 has the cidnum: HTC__621 that's the reason that i need the stock recovery 2.22.709.4 so... I flashed the stock recovery and i get this results from adb:

It's nothing wrong, that's the stock recovery.
You're not supposed to reboot in recovery mode.
Just reboot your device, check for OTA and let the system do everything for you.
Do you have the correct stock ROM for your current firmware ?

This is the reason why you have that problem device not booting.
You can't use a very low version recovery like 2.22.709.4, it won't work.
You can use only 4.24.709.2 recovery and nandroid backup or in case you want to go lower to do OTA again, you can use only the lowest is 4.16.709.9 recovery and nandroid backup. Cannot go more than one version lower.
Do you still have the current ROM 4.24.709.2 backup ?
What was the problem with 4.24.709.2 that you seek advise from some people who simply give wrong advise ? Yours is the latest update lollipop 5.0.2 .. remember that.
You can try the one posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59953829&postcount=5068
See whether you can download it or not.
If cannot, I will see whether I have time to upload my own backup for 4.24.709.2

OHHHH
I don't have any problem with 4.24.709.2 like you said I just received wrong advice
I don't have the ROM 4.24.709.2 backup, I will try to download the file with the link that you provided me, once the file was downloaded I just need to flash with TWRP is correct?
I have no idea about that backup whether it is for TWRP or CWM. But backup is for restore not flash. Unzip on PC and transfer to custom recovery backup folder. Boot to recovery then restore the transferred backup
I don't understand why you flashed the wrong stock recovery when your latest ROM has no problem.
Hi,
I have an UK HOX which is running CM11. I am giving it my father and want to revert to stock beforehand. I don't have a nandroid backup & can't seem to find one which will work. Is this possible or will I be stuck on CM?
I'm currently on HBOOT 1.36 & radio 5.1204 (not sure if that's relevant). Please let me know if there's more info I can provide.

Hi just read the thread properly, I have confused you in my pm, Thant is right, your on hboot 1.36 so you need my nand not glenbrownies. This is the stock nand from before the jb update which has the hboot version 1.1? You will need to update in settings about phone check for updates and you'll then have sense 5 installed.
You can install a nand which has a lower hboot version but not a nand that has a higher hboot version.

No worries. Thanks a million for the help
Can I just get one last noob question out the way - in the nandroid backup folder, are they both the stock boot.img and recovery.img I need to flash after restoring? Or do I need to find a separate stock boot & recovery img?
I've successfully reverted back to stock. Only issue I have now is that the official OTA update won't install. It downloads and boots into the stock recovery, then about a third of the way up the progress bar the process stops and the recovery icon changes to the red triangle with the exclamation mark in it.
I've also tried it again after doping a factory reset with no luck. Any experience with this happening?

Just flashed the recovery from the firmware.zip file & the OTA update fails at same stage.
My bootloader is unlocked, should it be relocked for this to work?
Edit: Relocked bootloader & tried with the same result. I noticed the hboot img file in the 'firmware' zip is a higher version than mine (1.36) ... Would it be worth flashing this then trying again?

don't use the recovery from OTA update use previos one or this for your main version and must be recovery for your main version
other way is to lock the bootloader flash firmware.zip then flash custom rom or stock nandroid backup. But you need to see your main version again after flashing the zip

Awesome, that's worked! Got the JB update restored, runs great! It does say there's another update to install but I get an HTC error saying basically the device is rooted (I installed the new recovery & relocked bootloader, it's def not rooted anymore) but I don't care to be perfectly honest.
Thank you guys so much for all your help!
Hi there.
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I want to go back to stock recovery to perform an OTA (4.4.4). I'm currently using ViperOne m8 2.5. My Cid is called HTC_Y13. But I couldn't find it anywhere.
What to do?
I'm Danish by the way. My phone is a One M8 and I believe it's the international model..

here's the steps to get you back to stock
download this > https://mega.co.nz/#!VcZAgIgT!flJca5C_hRl6pgAn5EXp4qbJCl0ONjZB8PHNylw5f3Y
while it's downloading go into TWRP and choose Backup
uncheck everything except boot ... do the backup
this will create a folder on your sdcard TWRP/BACKUPS/your_Serial_no/Todays date
when the download is complete extract it to the Todays date folder. Make sure it's just files in the folder and no folders
now boot back to TWRP and choose restore and restore the backup / make sure system and boot are checked.
the last step is to put back the stock recovery
use this one > http://d-h.st/WB4
you flash it the same as TWRP
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
your phone should now be back to stock and ready for OTA update

COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Your CID is HTC__Y13 you can download any x.xx.401.x backup from that thread.
The WWE (World Wide English) nandroid backups have the same main version build numbers. All these nands have the main number that is based on the x.xx.401.xx build and all these CIDS are compatible
HTC__001
HTC__E11
HTC__102
HTC__203
HTC__405
HTC__Y13 <<<THERE IS YOUR CID
HTC__304
HTC__A07
HTC__002
HTC__016
HTC__032
HTC__J15
HTC__M27
HTC__A48
HTC__K18

Download any x.xx.401.x backup (HTC__001 will be fine) and backup through correct custom recovery(Philz if it was Philz, TWRP if it was a TWRP created backup).
You can also download any x.xx.401.x stock recovery for your device OR you can grab the latest stock recovery from the OTA(Copy OTA.zip to your PC and extract the recovery.img file inside the firmware.zip).
Returning Stock
I'm also a little bit confuse with all information. I've been tryng to solve my ROM problem about 2 days.
I have flashed the ARHD 21.0 on my phone but a lot of errors are happening (common ones like no Wi-fi and other more annoying like extended reboot time). I'm trying to get back to the stock ROM to perform a update of my firmware but I'm kind of very lost in the forum.

I'm very afraid to flash something wrong because everything went wrong with me. What version should I flash? I guess my phone is the International version (since I'm a brazilian and HTC don't sell phones here)
Thanks in advance.

I'm also a little bit confuse with all information. I've been tryng to solve my ROM problem about 2 days.
I have flashed the ARHD 21.0 on my phone but a lot of errors are happening (common ones like no Wi-fi and other more annoying like extended reboot time). I'm trying to get back to the stock ROM to perform a update of my firmware but I'm kind of very lost in the forum.

No I guess your phone is an International version, not because you're Brazillian but because your CID says "HTC__001" which is International. Like You no doubt read in the 2 posts just above yours, download a nandroid backup for your device and restore it via the correct custom recovery. I even put a link to the thread with the nandroid collection in my first post here!!!
Just download the nandroid for your device, it'll be the 1.54.401.x backup seeing as you're still on the 3.16bootloader. 3.18 was 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 is 3.19 so you're probably still on 1.54.401.x. Download the 1.54.401 backup and restore in custom recovery. Afterwards just flash back the stock recovery.img
Make sure recovery.img is in your adb folder and boot into bootloader and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <That'll give you stock recovery again and you can reboot back into OS and download/install and update the OTA/Firmware as it comes all the way to 3.28.401.6/7

Sorry man, but I did. I read the post before mine. But I like I said, I'm trying to do this about 2 days and everything went wrong, so I thought that the version HTC__Y13 could have a different procedure that HTC__001.
I'm not the kind of user that thinks the problem is just happening to him. I read a lot of things but seems that more I read, more doubt I get.
Anyway, thank you very much for the fast answer. I will try what you said. :good:
Just one doubt. My ROM is 4.4.4 and my bootloader is 3.16. Is this wrong?

Yes, the 4.4.4 ROM MUST have 3.28.xxx.x firmware in order to function properly. You're still on much older firmware which is why you have excessively long boot up times, wifi/data problems(Outdated radio) etc. In order for the ARHD 21.0 to work correctly you must be on the correct firmware(4.4.4 android version, 3.28.401.6/7 <<<If you're international version which you are). This has been the case for some time now, you can do an easy google search "htc one m8 xda ..." along with something like "slow boot up" etc and you'll see that all of them had the same problems, outdated firmware.
Which is why you'll have to go back to stock and do the OTA updates as it comes. If you were S-OFF you could have done it manually and flashed the firmware manually but since you're S-ON you can't do it. Flashing Radio firmware you'll need to either be a) S-OFF or b) Official HTC OTA.

Thanks man! I'm now on 3.28.401.6.
Before your post, I hadn't understood that I needed restore from 1.54.401.x backup (I almost restore 3.28.401.7).
Firewater didn't work in my device, so I have to pay $25 to be S-OFF (and $25 is a lot of money when converting to reais - currency of Brazil)
I will come back tomorrow to give you Thanks (reach my max today).
PS: The 3.28.401.7 update didn't arrive to my device.
Confused!!!
I'm really confused!! I'm not that hardcore at all..
All i want is to update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 so I can Update from ViperOne 2.5 to 3.0.
I tried to flash a Stock Recovery called "stock_recovery_1.54.401.5_recovery.img" and I think it succeeded. Hard to see a difference. But I followed a guide made by Sakitech on Youtube. Then I searched for any updates. But it said "No update currently available". So I just flashed the custom Recovery again.
Sorry.. But I'm a Dummy
I am having some major issues too. Im just wanting to go back to stock so I can use sunshine to S-off my phone. My CID is ORANG001 so i got a nandroid backup 1.54.61.5 which is the correct stock and the corresponding stock recovery, all went well but not only does Sunshine still refuse to work, if i take any OTA updates, the first installs ok but then my wifi wont work, ie the switch will not turn green it just goes grey, any ideas!!?!!?

I think I can help you. After all my mistakes, I think I have learn something.
To update to 4.4.4 (and for ViperOne 3.0) you need to update your firmware first. To do that, you have 3 options:
1) S-OFF and update your firmware by flashing a simple file.
2) S-ON and search your EXACTLY modelid and cidnum on this thread
3) -That one BerndM14 help me in previous posts - Check your firmware and return your phone (ROM and Recovery) to stock basing on firmware version. This post explain better.
Like BerndM14 said to you, it is just necessary you to download any x.xx.401.x backup AND any x.xx.401.x stock recovery. After that, follow the instructions of the second question of the post. You will unzip the backup and inside, find a file called 'boot.emmc.win' or 'boot.win'. You have to flash this (fastboot), do a full wipe and then restore the backup (custom recovery). After all you return to bootloader (rebooting) and flash the recovery with this:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryName>
That it. At least, what I understand. Any advanced user could confirm this informations?

I think I got a Little closer now. Let med undrstand this S-OFF right. Does that make everything a lot easier??
I tried flashing Again yesterday, but without any luck. I downloaded a major stock backup zip file, but I'm not sure how to flash it. I wish I could Just hand it over to someone, but I vant find anyone here in Denmark who is cabable at doing this. ?.
I think The biggest problem is that i dont know where, when and what to flash ?

I think S-OFF let the things much more easier. My m8 is S-ON so I don't know a lot of this, but there is some tutorial about firewater. If this tool doesn't work for you (like happen to me), you will have to pay $25 for Sunshine. From what I read, this method is guaranteed to get S-OFF.
With S-OFF, you will find some posts with updates of the firmware. So you don't have to go back to stock to update it.
To continue from where you stop, you have to follow this post. Like I said before, download any x.xx.401.x backup AND any x.xx.401.x stock recovery and follow the instructions of "How do i restore the stock nandroid backup" question (same post).
You don't flash the major stock backup zip file. You RESTORE it, on your custom recovery (TWRP or Philz) according from which recovery the backup was made (for example, if you download this one: 1.54.401.5 - TWRP Thanks to Fisha21. This backup was made on TWRP so you have to restore it on TWRP. But before restore, you need to flash the "boot.img or boot.emmc.win" file that is INSIDE this backup zip file. After that you make a full wipe in recovery and then RESTORE the major backup (remember, you don't restore the zip file, you have to unzip it on your phone like is said on the "How do i restore the stock nandroid backup" question of the post).
After all, you will flash the recovery of the same version that you download on the same post.

You looked your firmware version, befere restore the 1.54.61.5 version? You have to check the CID AND the main version of your phone, like it said on the beggining of the post:
Take the main version number and CID and check if it exists in the collection below ! If it doesn't you can always make a request here.

My main version number is 2.26.61.5 I think but I asked weather using 1.54.61.5 would be OK and was told it would be fine as its *.**.61.* based backup. Is this incorrect as they use a different firmware base?? Is this whats causing my issues??

That's where I got the stock nandroid from, orang001 1.54.61.5 TWRP. Got the matching recovery, all flashed correctly but then like you say after a OTA my WiFi stopped working, mobile data is fine. The WiFi toggle in settings, won't switch over to green, just goes grey.

I Flashed a file named boot.emmc.win from inside the unzipped backup. I moved the file to my adb_fastboot folder and flashed it this way: fastboot flash recovery boot.emmc.win
Then I had trouble gaining access to custom recovery (TWRP) so I tried flashing the custom recovery again. I got in! Made a full wipe, chose "install", twrp > BACKUPS > Serialnumber > Backup.zip. But it failed!!!!! It was missing a md5 file???

Backup:
I have 2.22.901.5_firmware.zip, 2.22.901.5_recovery.img and 3.31.901.9_ckpv5.zip files. Are they useful backup for returning stock?
I will use also Helium to backup application, and I will backup all my files on a cloud.
Mod:
Which are the steps (and relative howTo) for modding the M8?
Install bootloader, recovery, root, going s-off, install rom...
Restore:
For returning S-ON, I have to buy a Sunshine License, right?
For restore a nandroid backup? What could I do?

Hi. There are a lot of topics that cover exactly what you need. Look for them. You can start here...
I can't move in all those guide. I'm a bit confused ...

ckpv5's file is useful, yes. The other files, NO. Reason being, you can't downgrade to a lower software number (2.22 is lower/older than 3.31) unless you have s-off.

Mod:

In summary:
1) Backup personal data by method(s) of your choice. Helium is fine.
2) OTA update to Lollipop (version 4.something)
3) Unlock bootloader by HTCDev.com
4) Install current version TWRP
5) Backup your stock ROM by making a TWRP (nandroid) backup
6) Flash custom ROM
As long as you take the OTA to Lollipop as indicated (to update the firmware - otherwise current ROMs will not run correctly on your phone), you don't need s-off to flash a ROM.

Restore:

As mentioned, you don't need s-off to flash a ROM.
To make the phone s-off, you would have to had already done sunshine, so going back to s-on, its a foregone conclusion that you already paid for sunshine.
To restore a nandroid backup (one you created, per the above step 5) you just boot into TWRP and select RESTORE, and select the desired backup file.

Keep reading and understanding until you get comfortable with the terms, procedures, etc.
I know it can be intimidating (and some guides have some outdated info). But its important you properly learn and understand before undertaking the activities you described. Being spoonfed the steps is doing you no favor, as it shortcuts the learning process; and just leaves you will enough knowledge to screw things up.
If you have specific question, just come back here and ask (as you already have); and we'll be happy to help.
But you are not any different for anyone else here. We all had to start at the same point at one time.

Before you do anything else, do OTA to update your device software version to 4.20.901.3 first.
If you need 4.20.901.3 stock backup and 4.20.901.3 stock recovery, they are available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
First of all, a big thanks
If I would want to use stock KitKat ROM, and just unlocking and rooting, are there some problems (without OTA update)?
Will I able to OTA Update to Lollilop, after unlock bootloader and rooting?
Thank you in advance

No problem as long as you keep it on KitKat. You can't install any lollipop based custom ROM.

It is advisable to revert everything to stock with no root (that's why a stock backup is there) to avoid problem when going through OTA process.

Then, to OTA update, for example, to Android 6.0, I have to restore my Nandroid Backup or I have to use your file, right?
And, to downgrade from Lollilop to KitKat, for example, I have to had S-Off, right?
Then, do you advice me to OTA update, unlock bootloader, install recovery, execute a nandroid backup, install a modded rom?

To do OTA to Android 6.0, you still need to do OTA to lollipop first because your current one is KitKat. Doesn't matter using your own nandroid backup or mine as long as the nandroid backup is non-rooted.

To downgrade ROM, just restore backup, no need S-Off
To downgrade firmware you need S-Off

As most of the modded ROM are lollipop base, you need to do OTA to lollipop, unlock bootloader, install latest TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery, make a nandroid backup (you need this for next OTA) then install custom ROM.

You can find the stock recovery images in my thread. (post #4)
Firmware.zip - seems no one uploaded them, reason is I believe firmware.zip has no real purpose. Most of the time, people use the firmware.zip only to extract out the recovery.img
And I don't see why you need to use firmware.zip

And I don't see why you need to use firmware.zip

You still have KitKat firmware, as shown by your OS version. You CANNOT flash a modified firmware package while S-On. You need to either run a signed RUU, or go back to stock and use HTC's/your carrier's OTA updates.
Do you have a stock ruu? or maybe how to s-off? because i cant find anywhere firewater.
Maybe this will help with something:

What firmware did you try to flash? It looks like it was GPE firmware.
Is your bootloader screen black or white now?
My bootloader screen it's black, it's that important?...
And the firmware was download from HDRevolution website.

Yup, that's very important. Black hboot screen is the GPE version (and white is Sense version hboot). You at least partially flashed a GPE firmware. This isn't supposed to happen with s-on (firmware for other versions should be blocked). But I do remember a while back, a few folks having the same issue; where a GPE firmware or RUU partially flashed (with s-on) and caused some problems.

That doesn't help. Quite a few firmwares are posted there. What specific number firmware did you flash? Did you flash the firmware number (3.11.1700.5) shown OS number on your hboot screen?

I don't know why you flashed this. Not only is it not current firmware (Kitkat, as another noted before), but its not even for your version (its GPE version firmware, as I mentioned).

That is the proper RUU for the AT&T version; and your bootloader is relocked, as it should be for RUU.
So I think the problem is the GPE firmware you flashed before.
Try flashing the proper firmware first, then RUU again, and hopefully that will work.
I can't find the 4.28.502.2 firmware. But 4.28.502.1 firmware is posted on the following. Use the Full stock firmware. Hopefully, this is close enough to 4.28.502.2 to work.

That RUU will not work, anyway. Its for the Developer Edition, so the only way to run it would be to change your CID (s-off required, and working OS is needed to s-off).

Firewater was discontinued by its devs in December 2014. Since it has an online component (needed to connect to servers), it won't work even if you find the firewater binary.
Sunshine is the only current working s-off method, and as I mentioned, it requires a working OS to work.

I flash that firmware because have my cidnum and modelid, and i read that the firmware need to have the same cidnum and modelid.

Yes, firmware needs to have the same CID and MID. But the 3.11.1700.5 firmware doesn't go with your CID and MID (CWS__001 and 0P6B12000)
"1700" firmwares (such as 3.11.1700.5) are for the Google Play Edition (GPE) with CID of GOOGL001 and MID of 0P6B17000.
Proper firmwares for your AT&T CID and MID will have the number "502" in the position x.xx.502.x

That's right. And as I already stated, sunshine requires a working OS, which you don't have. And since getting the OS working again seems to be the main reason you want to get s-off, you see its quite pointless.

No problem And to flash this firmware i can do it like this:
f you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

You used the "full stock" firmware 4.28.502.1, correct? Not the "Combined, No wipe" one?
You can also try the 3.42.502.1 firmware.

Those might be unsigned firmwares, but I thought they were signed.
I think your options at this point:
1) Find signed firmwares of the versions I recommended.
2) Unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP again, then flash a 3.xx based custom or stock ROM (which will have working WiFi). Then s-off by sunshine so you can fix the firmware (will allow an unsigned firmware to be flashed).
Another thing to note, when you flashed the GPE firmware, it reverted the recovery back to stock recovery. Which is why you no longer have custom recovery.
