Thread moved - BUT - please clarify which Phone you are asking about. The HTC ONE could be M7 or M8 or Mini etc.
When asking questions, it would help others if you provide sufficient information to enable a response.

Sorry, it's an M8 (thought it was assumed since we are in the m8 forum). In addition, since I'm running the ATT version but on Tmobile,will any OTA updates still come from ATT? It still goes out to ATT when i check for updates (it appears). Thanks.

You need to be connected to the AT&T network to get AT&T updates.
Not sure if it will work or not to get the T-Mob OTAs, but you probably at a minimum need to restore to stock T-Mobile ROM and recovery, and change to the proper CID (or SuperCID or S-off?).
Stock nandroid and recovery can be found here (believe your CID is TMOB010, but please confirm): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Alternately, you should be able to s-off and run the T-Mob RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714456

In theory, the nandroid backups I pointed you to are stock ROM, just they are nandroids made by XDA members.
The only way to get a more "official" stock ROM is the RUU I already linked.

Once bootloader unlocked and rooted, you should be able to use fastboot to change CID:
fastboot oem writecid *******
(replace ******* with desired CID)
then to confirm:
fastboot getvar cid
Does the Tmobile rom need to be flased before changing CID?

Not sure, you may actually need to change CID first (in order to restore the nandroid). But no, changing the CID is not dependent on the ROM. You can actually change it to whatever you want (with root).
No, the nandroid is not a .img, its a zip file you need to extract, then place the folder in the right location as outline in Post #2 of the nandroid collection.
BTW, according to the nandroid collection its actually T-MOB010 (I forgot the hyphen in my previous post).

Hi,
I did a few searches but didn't find a solution.I have a developer M8 rooted and S-off. It's running 4.4.2. How do I go about installing the 4.4.3 OTA HTC apdate? Would I loose root and S-off in the process? Do I need to go back to stock to apply this update or do I need to take the update at all. I'm looking to flash the latest Viper rom and just wanted to check before I do. Sorry if this question was ask before.
When your target is to flash a custom ROM based on 4.4.3; you don't really need all those going back to stock and apply OTA stuff
What you need is flash the 4.4.3 firmware of device version then install ROM ... that's all

First make sure you do have the developer M8 as I find many said the same thing but in actual fact they are not.
If yes ... I have the untouched 2.22.1540.4_firmware.zip here : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/2.22.1540.4_firmware.zip/download
then follow either this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
or this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
on how to flash the firmware zip
As the firmware is untouched, it will restore the stock recovery to your device.
So after successfully flashed the firmware, you should flash the custom recovery of your choice again in order to flash the intended custom ROM.
I'm gathering from the OP's location and past devices, that AT&T is the carrier.
If so, I would recommend flashing the 2.23.502.3 posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
This contains the latest AT&T firmware (including newest AT&T radio). Then flash whatever 4.4.3 custom ROM you want.
On the 2.22.1540 firmware, I was getting some random data drops on AT&T. After flashing the 2.23.502 firmware, everything is working perfectly for me.
EDIT: My bad, I somehow completely missed the critical point that the OP has the Dev Edition. ckpv5 is correct for the Dev Edition, 1540 firmware is what you want (the firmware released with the latest Dev Edition OTA).
That's why I said that he need to confirm whether he really has developer edition M8.
If it is At&T .. I will not recommend the Dev Edition firmware (in fact I will not get involve as I don't know much about At&T device)

Appreciated your help here. I can confirm the phone came with a unlock bootloader and my CID number is BS_US002. Does this mean I got the developer version of the M8?
If so, do I just follow the guide you post above, and do I need to change my CID to the super 11111111?

BS_US002 is Dev Ed.
There is no need to change to SuperCID when flashing the firmware meant for your device version; no CID and MID change is needed.

This part below, my phone freezes on the HTC logo. Do I repeat the entire step from beginning when it freezes or that specific command it freezes on? See below.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Note: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots.
Then, repeat the steps above again.

Major thanks to you sir. I use the second guide you provide above after multiple fail with adb and all seems to be working fine. So if I understand you correctly, as long as I flash the latest firmware which I now have and regain recovery, there is no need to take the OTA from HTC to move from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3? So I can now flash roms base on 4.4.3 like Viper?
Yes...now you can flash 4.4.3 Sense based ROM like viper.
If you ever need the stock ROM, just follow the Stock Backup link in my sig.

near as I can tell your one is from Cinncinati Bell and you'll probably never see an update. It's similar to a T-mobile One if memory serves me right. Anyway you'll need S-OFF to convert your phone to DE or international if you want to receive updates

you can flash roms without s-off, but some roms are going to need firmware that's up to date. Your phone will not get that up to date firmware unless you get s-off and do the developer edition conversion ( change CID and MID and flash DE RUU)
As Far as your phone being international it really should not matter as long as it's working on the carrier you use, it is a LTE compatable M8_UL

You need to s-off and update firmware to run that ROM, otherwise you will have some serious issues including long (like 5-10 minute) boot times and broken WiFi.
Same is going to happen if you try to run any 4.4.3 Sense based custom ROMs coming from 4.4.2.
Just search and read if want more info on firmware. This has been discussed probably dozens of times on other threads.

Just look in the Development forum section for the threads regarding firmware. You can flash after the fact (after ROM is already installed). But I normally recommend to backup any important data before flashing just about anything "just in case".

Relocking bootloader is not required or suggested.
I'm not sure which firmware goes with your CID. You'll need to research yourself, unless somebody who knows chimes in.
As long as you have a GSM M8, the firmware should be fine. But you may or may not experience some minor network issues, if the firmware is not intended for your carrier.

I would like to know how can I do to update my firmware to 4.4.4 cause I tried to s-off with firewater but doesn't work too.
Anyone have a solution would be a god to me ^^

Firewater doesn't work anymore. HTC patched the exploit.
You'll have to use SunShine S-Off. It costs $25, but is guaranteed to work or you don't pay.
Having S-Off is totally worth $25 IMO.
Here's a link to their website.

Firmware is something separate. That link will get you back to stock ROM. Then use Sunshine to s off. After that, you can update your firmware.

The stock recoveries or in that link too. I'm not sure if you need them for sunshine though. Try with custom recovery, if that doesn't work, get a stock recovery.
Or get both ROM and recovery stock, then reflash a custom recovery and ROM.
If you get both to stock, you shouldn't have any issues.

First, I misunderstood your earlier question. Yes the number in front of the backups are for firmware.
To help you more, I'll need some information. Hook up your phone to your computer and start ADB. Then issue these commands:
adb reboot fastboot (wait till your phone boots into fastboot)
fastboot getvar all
Then post what the readout says here, but edit out your serial number (serialno) and IMEI for your own safety.
Then I'll be able to give you a little more guidance.

Your CID is ORANG202 and your firmware is 1.54.73.5, so you will need the backup that corresponds with that.
The backup available was made with TWRP recovery. So you'll need that. (In my opinion, TWRP is a better recovery, less issues)
You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.
Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".
After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.

You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.
Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".
After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.

Firmware updates. If you have one fresh out of the box, Firewater would probably still work. And still does for some.

My friend has made a comprehensive guide on firmware and firmware flashing, complete with downloads. Make sure to read the whole opening post so you understand everything. It looks like it might be hard because of his full explanation of the whole process, but it's actually very easy. And very informative.

Go back to stock, and take the OTAs. Then re-root and enjoy your new firmware.

Incorrect. This is the method that you use if you are not S-Off.
If you were S-Off, you would just update firmware manually, with no need to go back to stock.
thanks for your help!
ok the second link you posted led me to a canadian nandroid backup.
thanks a lot for your help man
Edit: my hboot is 3.18 and its the only one missing

I would suggest asking if anyone has a link to one in that thread.
I'm on Telus too, but I am running WWE firmware. I ALWAYS have the new firmware before Telus. Just sayin.
S-Off is a good thing to have. I know it seems like $25 is a lot to pay to get it, but if you think of all the hassle it saves trying to update firmware, and the other freedom it gives you (I'm using the Sprint Harman/Kardon version's audio files and ADSP) it is very reasonably priced.

i just flashed the one saying 3.x. its a 5.0 nandroid backup and all is working except wifi for some weird reason. looks like the firmware wasnt updated.
i have nothing against paying 25$ its just that sunshine never worked for me. It always said it didnt like my kernel and that i should try with a stock and i was too lazy tbh

Use 3.34.661.4 backup for 4.4.4 but wifi will not work on your device yet because you have hboot 3.18.0000
Find the 2.23.661.2 -> 3.34.661.4 - thanks @shaboobla on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Extract out firmware.zip from that OTA zip (with 7-zip)
then you can flash this firmware in RUU mode (but you need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On)
Later .. you can check software update and accept OTA to 4.20.661.2

how would i flash a firmware in RUU mode? you mean like renaming it to some weird name like PG.... and placing it in root of sdcard and going in fasboot? or is it something else because tbh i have never heard of flashing something in RUU mode
thanks for your help, really appreciate it.
EDIT: I just found out i can go to RUU mode with "fastboot oem rebootRUU".
so i can flash the firmware with "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"
thanks again for all your help guys

yea i was going to do it and also for the sake of completeness flashing the stock recovery(3.34.661.4) after the restore, just in case someone else has the same problem
You can do that but not really needed because the signed firmware.zip will restore stock recovery.

oh didnt know that, i guess i wont then
I just wanted to thank you guys for helping me out!
I did everything and now i am on android 5.0.1 (although i ran into a small problem: process com.android.phone is not responding, factory reset from recovery fixed it)
Hope this thread helps someone else with similar problems

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it, I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it. There doesn't seem to be any still functioning links to any Canadian RUU's that I can use. I'm not s-off, bootloader is "relocked". I'd like to go back to stock marshmallow because I only use this thing to play music and as a tv remote. I'm hoping someone might have an old RUU lying around.
I guess if not my best option is just to unlock the bootloader again and try flashing the same lineage os again. Since I relocked does that mean I have to go through the htc website to get the unlock token again like I did ages ago? They probably don't even have this phone on there anymore. Hopefully I didn't actually turn this thing into a brick.

Photo link is coming up with 404 error for me. Better to do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (cut and paste from command prompt), so we can see all the info on the phone (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I'm trying to get my htc one m8 up and running again. It was functioning on lineage os but wasn't very stable, couldn't find any other roms that would successfully flash on it,
If you can be more specific about which ROMs you tried (plus info about your device from getvar as noted above), then we might be able to advise why they did not flash. Did you get error messages, and if so, what exactly were they?
I decided to try and go back to stock after a few beers one night night, now the phone has been sitting in a drawer with no os or recovery on it.
What exactly did you do (step by step, with any relevant file names, etc. - more detail is better).
I presume you intentionally relocked the bootloader in attempt to run some RUU. But would like clarification on this (and where that happened in the sequence of events)

Far as I know, Canadian versions don't have RUU.

One option (maybe the best one) is to restore a stock TWRP back from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
You will need to unlock the bootloader to do this. You can either reuse the unlock bin code you used originally (if you still have it). Otherwise, you should be able to request a new bin code from HTCDev.com. Far as I know, that still works for this phone.
