HTC M8 Hong Kong Help (No version_main)

Hi everyone!
I recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my m8.
I tried using firewater to "s-off" my phone and unfortunately, it did not work out. The way I understand it, I cannot install stock ROMs (such as the 5.0.1 GPE) without "s-off." Now, I want to unroot my phone and stick to waiting for the OTAs to roll out instead.
I followed the instructions in the "returning to stock" thread and noticed that I have no version main (see attached image). I looked around the forums and saw that the advice was to flash the latest TWRP version. Since I'm stuck with a phone that I cannot update, I'm trying to be careful now. Can anyone please confirm if flashing the latest TWRP will bring my version main back?
The noob in me also has a few questions/requests as well:
1. Since my phone is rooted, I cannot receive OTA updates and upgrade to lollipop once these updates roll out?
2. Please tell me which files to download to return to stock. Just trying to be really careful this time around.
3. Lastly, is it also true that I can only install custom ROMs once have rooted? As to stock ROMs, I can't install them until I get "s-off"?
Thanks a lot, everyone! Cheers!

[OTA][6.0] Marshmallow update available for OPPO F1s

I just now landed to this page and found official Marshmallow update for our oppo f1s
How to update?
*BACK UP YOUR DATA*
Just put the zip file in your sdcard and reboot to stock recovery and "apply update"
Warning : This update will factory reset your phone and wipe all data. I upgraded without backup and lost all my data!
Link to OTA:
http://downloads.oppo.com.s3.amazon.../A1601EX_11_OTA_001_all_201703281552_wipe.zip
The OTA is released for Australia but it worked on Indian and Phillipines phones. I have tested it on my phone.
EDIT: Seems there's a global version also http://downloads.oppo.com.s3.amazon...A1601EX_11_OTA_027_all_201701110933_local.zip
I haven't yet tested the global version.

No point in upgrading. There are no root options.

The update zip doesn't contain stock recovery, which means if you flash the OTA via TWRP [by modifying updater-script] you can update to MM and re-root from twrp.
I haven't tried it because twrp is not working on my phone for some strange reason. Probably because I have 4GB version

There seems to be a problem with the mirror server in Australia, which means I can't download it. I've contacted oppo and asked for a download link from another server

yes... clean flash is always a good choice.

Marshmallow suck oppo f1s , Not appearing notification on status bar , Internet isn't working well n it's slow ,

Can someone help me?
I have updated my F1s to marshmallow however, I am unable to get the latest monthly updates installed. I have tried downloading the latest update (A1601EX_11.A.38_20190328) and installing manually, however that results in an error and fails to update.
It seems the recent update is for the lollipop rom. I don't want to roll back to lollipop as I have seen major improvements to GPU performance and battery life since upgrading to marshmallow.
Is there a way to get the latest set of security patches for marshmallow?

Hi. Had to make an account to answer you lol.
For some reason, OPPO stopped supporting marshmallow on the countries it was implemented. Philippines, however, did not effected the idea and would say, if you ever ask them, that their team is working on it. It's just a bunch of rubbish, we both know they're too busy with their flagship phones. F1s has long been forgotten and the only latest marshmallow update you could find is here, I'm not sure though.

Note 4 - Android 6.0.1 - Downgrade? Or Fix? -- Neubie here

Hi, I've got this one Note 4 that's had loads of trouble presumably since the last security update.
Baseband Version: N910AUCS2EQD1
Android: 6.0.1
Have seen the instructions and all as to how to go about downgrading BUT one site I came across with the original stock firmware downloads outright state how:
""DO not ever try to downgrade from any newest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow updates back to an older 6.0.1 build version""
'and so I'm lost. Should trying to then reinstall the same Baseband version atop what's already there a good first alternative? ...that is, just in case it was never upgraded properly in the first place? Or is that not even possible?
Is trying to downgrade at all a futile pursuit?
Would truly appreciate any suggestions, help, direction...heck, anything! Thanks in advance.

I downgraded from 6.0.1 epk5 to 5.1.1 with no problem.
Not sure about qd1.
As long as you have the odin firmware, I see no problem.

Can i downgrade note 4 n910a from marshmallow to lollilop,please help me i am in great trouble because marsmallow update is very bad with a lot of reboot issue ,battery drain.

Once you are on QD1 you will not be able to go back to anything lower than that firmware. The bootloader is now at the latest version and has blown one of those imaginary "e-fuses" so that you can not go back in time to any other vulnerable OS. I just tried today to go from EQD1 to EPK5 and It would not flash and would fail every time whilst using the latest Odin. So good luck on finding anything on getting you back to another firmware version but at this time I do not believe there is anything that will move you back to the firmware you want. If you do happen to find something or make your own exploit do tell @sanaullahkhan371 If you are on QD1 you are not going to be able to downgrade if you are on PK5 you can try the Odin downgrade method that will5 presumably used but if you are not in this firmware use case you are SOL.

Hi,
Can you please let me know how did you downgrade? Is it straight away flash to 5.1.1 or did you follow any steps?
I am also planning to downgrade. Anyways, I stopped using Note 4 after update to 6.0.1 as it was switching off every now and then due to update. Might as well make this phone usable to take photos and as a video player for my kid
Thanks

I just odin to this firmware N910AUCU2DOI2-5.1.1 It s available somewhere on this forum.
Read how to odin if you never used it. In this case you need to unzip the file and load AP, BL, CP and CSC files on odin and flash.
Was running 6.0.1 epk5 previously.

My note 4 was also running on 6.0.1 EPK5. Found the 5.1.1 firmware and followed your instructions to downgrade. My phone came back to life and is usable now.:victory:
No more switching off abruptly! I wont update anymore since all the apps which I use are working fine with current version of Android.

Were you ever able to flash back to an older version from QD1? Others have said that the bootloader was not incremented in QD1.

I'm also on EQH1. I have never tried to downgrade. I was just curious if it was possible, in case a root method was discovered that only worked on older versions. But I've just learned to live without root. EQH1 works fine for me.

I had the infamous freeze/reboot/shutdown issue with 6.0.1 and I wasn't sure if that was the issue but I downgraded to 5.1 and have fewer issues now. The phone runs just fine, except it does not reboot. You have to do a soft reset every time. But with the Wakelock app, at least it runs.

Hi can i ask if u still have that firmware file

Radio no more

Hello there,
Preamble:
Since first wave of OTAs came out, I've been wondering about going back to stock to get one. But yesterday I noticed that LeeDroid ROM got an update to Oreo (5.00), so I decided to try that out first.
Well, I failed – the installation process went just fine, however I failed to boot. That's when I thought of going back to LeeDroid 4.00 – wiped everything as instructed and installed the previous version. And now my radio doesn't work.
Question:
Could this radio problem be caused by 8.0 ROM installation even though I had Nougat firmware?
And what should I do to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

The same problem. here
if you find a solution, please tell me, i have exactly the same problem

That's why you are REQUIRED to have Oreo firmware for any Stock or custom Oreo stock based roms.
Upgrading to Oreo will result in loss of baseband upon downgrading back to Nougat.
(new boot.img/ramdisk places firmware bits in places that the old boot.img/ramdisk doesn't see)
There currently is no method to update and then go back.
Your only available solution, is to fully update to Oreo firmware and software to get your baseband back.
There are already several threads which discuss this in pretty great lengths and detail.

So, essentially I need to flash Taiwanese RUU and 8.0 OTA now to get things work?

Flashed Groovy Android: SIM1 Issues, Random Reboots, and UI crashes

Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition
Model: Z00A
Before I unlocked, rooted, and flashed my current version, I had Android M - I believe it was Asus firmware version: WW-4.21.40.352
Current version: Groovy Android Android N (7.1.2) - GA-N-v7.1.2-20180612-Z00A-Release.zip
Apparently that was a big mistake and I should have downgraded to Android L before flashing Groovy Android Android N because there's a known issue related to the SIMs not being detected.
I can get my LTE connection to work if I physically remove and reinsert the SIM but that's obviously annoying. And I figured out how to play with the data/SIM settings to get it to register on the data network again but it keeps reverting back to having issues with the X over the LTE symbol and having no data connection.
I just picked Groovy Android because I didn't really know where to start and I wanted Android Nougat. I really want a dark themed Android Nougat but I haven't come across any custom ROMs that have that option. Any suggestions?
For now, I need to go back to Android L so I can flash Groovy Android again without SIM issues.
I downloaded UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from Asus's website.
Can I simply go into TWRP, go into sideload mode, and then type adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from my PC?
Do I need to wipe any particular partitions before or after?
EDIT:
Oh also one of the reasons I wanted to try a custom ROM is because of all the bluetooth audio issues I was having. Every single ROM I've ever had on this phone, from the one it shipped with, through several OTA and updated firmwares from Asus's website that claim to "fix bluetooth stability", I've always had this issue where the audio just randomly cuts out while connected to my Soundbot SB360 receiver (I've had other devices and phones connected to it without issue). I've seen other people complain about it on Asus's forums with no real resolution.

That does not happen on my device. It's stable except for the crashed pie

I know I need to downgrade to stock Lollipop. So the question is, can I do that from TWRP, and how do I do it?

Did you back up your system partition before flashing Groovy Android?

Either flash the firmware directlyhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/guide-flash-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-2-t3588276, or restore that backup, flash stock MM recovery, lock the bootloader and downgrade by installing the 2.x "update" zip from ASUS's website.

I was reading over this guide yesterday and I'm going to try METHOD 2 using the Asus Flash Tool to flash WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.206_20170627.raw which is the latest version of Lollipop.
