Phone has been out a while now but still no developer edition RUU. I'm interested in converting by M8 (which is an AT&T variant previously converted to a GPE) to a developer edition version but don't want to do so until the RUU is released. Does anyone know HTC's typical time frame for releasing it? Is there any other fairly simple way to make this conversion from GPE to Developer Edition? Thanks.
Lol I need help with this too. I have SIM Unlocked BS_US002 and converted to GPE. The Dev RUU would be the closest to my phone and there is no 1540 firmwares posted so I can't get back to Sense.

There are a bunch of guides on this. All you have to do is flash the ota firmware, change mid/cid, and put developer nandroid and recovery on your phone. Obviously check/change mid/cid before flashing the firmware.zip.

That's just the OTA update. How is a 110MB update going to wipe GPE and repartition the Device, and install Sense.

Ive also gone back and forth with the GPE and SenseUI based setups. I would much rather have an RUU to re partition my device but the guide worked fairly well. I have never waitied this long for an RUU for an HTC device tho.

Right. Just seems a little strange that HTC hasn't released the official RUU yet.

Hi there,
I was adviced to install this RUU in order to get s-off on my UK HTC M8 via SunShine (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/uk-htc-m8-convert-to-gpe-t2917020). However, I am currently still s-on and my CID/MID does not match the ones mentioned in the OP.
Can I still use this RUU or how to I switch the CID/MID to match?
Cheers,
Tolotos

I need help, can someone point me into the direction of where to find the developer edition hbootable ruu for HTC one m8. I can't even get to the first screen with the ruu, it always closes. Somebody please help
How do I install S-on version if I can't change CID or MID? Or is there a way to change those while S-on?

No. If that was so then we would not need s-off to change it anymore.
:sly: you answered your own question !
Can you update the links for the zip files? Can't download it from the links provided and I prefer using the zip instead of exe, thank you
The link for the zip files doesn't work, says no file found? Can you fix this? Thanks
I got the AT&T M8 and I've been Developer Edition converted for a long time now. So the other day I requested the unlock code for my M8 from AT&T and they emailed it to me but when I power off the phone put in Tmobile Sim and turn back on it never prompts for the Carrier unlock code. It boots up and it prompts the menu up for me to select what carrier I want.
So did the Developer conversion some how unlocked my M8??
Or do I just need to RUU back to stock and apply the unlock code??
Thanks

I'm a mexican user and my software version is really uncommon, I think it's only for my carrier (TELCEL). But it's a GSM phone. I'm trying to change it to developer edition because I will never get the update, I'm still on 4.4.2, I have never received any OTA.
Will this work?
Btw, I have an unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and root. of course I will pay for the S-off before, doing the process.
My CID is HTC__332 and MID 0P6B160

Yes, you will be able to install the Dev Edition RUU. You will need to change your CID and MID to that of the DE phone (SuperCID is also okay, but you will still need the right MID).
Also, no need to run the 1.54 RUU. You can run the Dev Ed RUU for the current version (3.28): http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-developer-edition-3-28-1540-5-t2918749

No problem at all doing that. RUU is a complete image, and over-writes every partition. Therefore, you can "skip" intermediate RUUs. I would not have told you to skip right to the current RUU, if there was a problem with doing it.
This is in contrast to an OTA, which often is not a complete image, and therefore usually expects and requires intermediate OTAs to be installed (in other words, all OTAs for your CID need to be installed in sequence).

RUU will install the Dev Edition radio firmware. And according to the following, the Developer's Edition does support LTE Band 4 (AWS): https://support.t-mobile.com/message/358933
I updated my HTC 10 to the brand new 7.0. It seems either Google or HTC has totally broken the long pause conference call pin feature in android. (This is where you dial a number and a conference pin separated by a semi-colon like XXXXXXXXXX;XXXXX) The popup asking me if I want to send the Pin number disappears after about 3 or 4 seconds way before the "Beep" when i need to send the pin.
Total deal breaker for me, since I make conference calls ALL day and I'm not going to revert to writing pin numbers on my hand while i'm in the car so I can dial them at the beep.
I desperately need to go back to Android 6.0.
I have lots of flashing, unlocking, and custom rom experience, but this device has some strange quirks like breaking the radio if you decrypt the file system...
Do I just need to use an android 6.0 RUU?
Will there be any issues due to encryption, 7.0 firmware, or anything else I need to be careful of when downgrading?
I am wondering too about downgrading procedure...
I want to know if it is safe using ruu.
I want to convert my international Htc 10 to developer unlocked and flash ruu so I can receive the nougat it's just to try it out.
Can I reverse this?
Looking forward to that answer.
If you're s-off it should be ok I think. But without s-off, downgrading firmware using an official RUU is not possible

I was on Viper 3,5. I converted my cid-mid to us unlocked and installed latest US UNLOCKED MM RUU.exe successfuly. Then I checked the firmware and took the official OTA,upgraded to Nougat successfuly. So I guess you can have Nougat,too.
Now I am on Nougat US Unlocked S-off cid BS_US001 mid 2PS650000 . I am wondering if I could revert to MM with the RUU.exe I have. Do I have to change to Supercid or do anything else,or just the RUU.exe would do the trick?

And when you say you downgraded..
Were you S-Off? (I'm not and since you said you were like ordeniz, I assume you were?)
Were you on the official 7 OTA (with firmware upgraded) or a custom rom built on 7 but without the firmware upgrade? (Again, if you were like ordeniz then you had the official OTA.)
I just wanted to be clear, and not make any assumptions.

The sure thing I know is that you need to be rooted to be s-off. If sunshine will succeed you will know it when the sunshine app check your system. Download the app and before in app purchase a licence will tell you if you have successfull s off.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible for me to use the stock RUU to update to nougat on my htc one m9 rather than waiting for t-mobile to release a verified rom later in the year?
Yes u can. Just make sure that u are s-off and bootloader unlocked and then flash the dev edition ruu and u will get nougat.

Not quite. To flash the developer RUU on a T-Mobile branded M9, you'll need to change your MID & CID to match the SKU of the developer edition RUU. If you don't know about these acronyms, stop what you are doing and read up. The FAQ section of the M9 readme thread, question 9, walks you through converting GSM phones (like the T-Mobile version) to the developer edition.

Not until Sprint releases the Android Nougat update.
The only update the is currently available is for the developer edition of the M9, a GSM model. Sprint is a CDMA carrier and incompatible with GSM.
Thanks for clarifying.
And you cannot flash on sprint or cdma phones. The ruu is only for gsm phones.

RUUs have the firmware along with everything else. While I'm pretty sure there's a way to flash individual components (radio, firmware, et cetera), that is beyond me. I stick to using the RUUs, and recommend them heartily. The easiest method is the SD card method - outlined in that same post. You'll end up wiping your internal phone storage (so back up what you care about), but it'll get you to the latest and greatest for the M9.

Really? I read that you couldn't use an RUU because verify key on firmware v1-3 is different from the one on v4, so you need v4 firmware to use a v4 RUU, which requires using a method. So I converted to dev/ATT/unlocked, flashed a v3 RUU I found online, and now I'm going to try to update to v4 which is apparently safer. If this fails, I'll try the RUU. After all, this is all vanilla to HTC so it should tell me if it won't work.

Tried to use an RUU. Got a signature error of some sort. Can't remember the number. RN it is taking OTA updates smoothly. Now, it will either get to v4 eventually through the OTA updates, or it will cut off at the top of v3 (in which case I have done something horribly wrong). I will try to flash RUU after I get v4 through OTA, just for fun and for the sake of the community
Edit 1: v4 finally showed up through OTA. 2GB Downloading currently. Will still RUU to double check compatibility. Will post back with success or not.
Edit 2: v4 was successful, device convered to HIMAULATT. Now flashing the Dev RUU, which works. It didn't work on v3. Therefor I was correct, and RUU v3 -> v4 isn't compatible.

Check out the readme thread - it'll give you instructions about changing your MID & CID to match the developer or WWE SKU to convert your phone to those versions and receive the Nougat update. Be advised that wifi calling is not available if you switch.

Exactly what the readme spells out: if you correctly flash the RUU corresponding to your SKU and OS version, your phone will be wiped & reset to stock.
All other RUUs with detect the mismatch and fail.
