i also flashed the 3.xx update. im on s-off, supercid and my custom rom was viperone 2.5... when i was flashing the update, error 24 appeared. im already on supercid so i wonder why would it fail. so i reflashed the previous firmware which is 2.22.401.5.. it went well but then when im alrady on my homescreen, i notice that i don't have a signal from my mobile network and after a few minutes the phone restarts. could you help me?

yea well depends... a 401 firmware did previously work for you? The new 401 firmware should then work too.
Looking at my error code list i see an error 23 which is a zip error and another close number which is also a close number and also a zip error.
I suppose there was an issue with the firmware zip you flashed. Did you verify the MD5 hash before you flashed it?
It might have been damaged during download and the zip wasn't actually flashed?
I suggest you choose the ZIP flash method and manually reflash it, then post the console window content here. It will tell me which images got flashed and what error occured (maybe). If there was no error, it means the new radio probably just doesnt work for you or the ROM and Carrier combination or something like that....
anyhow... without knowing exactly what happened, it can not be diagnosed properly.

thanks. the 2.22.401 did work for me but the new 3.x.401 update after i flashed, caused (maybe) the no signal problem. i already dealed with the error 23 problem but unfortunately, as i mentioned, the signal was gone. all the method i used for flashing was fastboot. i already tried to revert to the stock rom and stock recovery that matched the original cid. what i noticed was the imei was unknown. tried to fix it but i guessed i just bricked my phone. now it is not turning on . i don't know if there is another way to unbrick it other than using jtag.

Try holding down the power button+vol. up for 20 seconds and see if your phone boots up. Doing this is the equivalent of a battery pull.

i've tried power +vol button several times already. i don't know how long i hold it but i guess it's longer than 20 seconds. but i'll still try later. do i have to do it with charger plugged or unplugged?

Hello sir,
Please look for the guide to remove the tampered flag by @scotty1223 - that guide is also suitable for this new message, that replaces the old tampered message.

Hello sir, in order to use my firmware you'll need to S-OFF first.
As stated in post #1, this is not for S-ON users.
Other than that, if your CID is HTC__044, this firmware is for your device as well.

Thanx for guide !!!
Its work
I can see some people mention 3.28.401.7 FW, but you have the 3.28.401.6. Any reason to use x.7 instead of x.6?
P.S.: i love your FUU ?

No mate. All i know is it contains a fix for croatia. Its been rolled out to other countries too though, so i made FUU's and ZIP's because i guess there are more fixes in there. Just don't know what yet.
This was a totally blind update. Tested, yes, but not taken apart and looked at like i usually do. I have NO clue whats inside. Only thing i checked is Recovery and whether or not it was updated. Yes it was.
Anyhow, HTC often doesn't do much more like build date changes. Sometimes, hboots or recoveries get pushed out that are just newer, but not changed.
They have a streamlined building process and if they update one major thing, they often just automatically build a RUU or OTA Firmware and all files get new build date stamps. At least that is what i have seen occasionally in the past. Files that are 100% identical in hex view except the file header that contains the creation date.

Hi Sir,
unfortunately i do not know where to look to keep track of Asia Firmware. I rely on my users to send me such.
@Sneakyghost thank you man, i'm very very rookie about Android but with your guide and little bit help of google, now my M8 is 4.4.4 with Venom 3.0.1 thanks again and god bless you, i owe you a coffee
heyy i am using ht one m8 and yesterday i tried to root my phone as per instructions from a site and all was going good and easy but after i installed supersu at last and rebooted my phone it just stucked in htc logo and no further it just stucked.And i began to notice the detail and came to realize that i had forgot to off flashboot it says S ON and i am searching what i can do to get my phone back
You need to provide much more detail, for any hope of anyone helping:

Are you serious about this? This literally tells us nothing, gives us zero information on what you actually did.
What website? I know you can't link, but tell us as best you can.
Or tell us the exact steps you followed. Step by step, in as much detail as possible, give the file names, versions for TWRP, SuperSU, etc.
On the hboot screen, does it give any version number after "OS"? If so, what is it?
If not, what hboot and radio numbers?
Also, on the hboot screen, does it say UNLOCKED, RELOCKED, or LOCKED near the top?

Can't tell what you are trying to say here. "Flashboot" is not a valid term. Please clarify what you mean.
I think you mean the "fast boot" option in Power settings. But if you are trying to root Lollipop, this option doesn't even exist anymore. Nor is it that relevant. It only affects trying to get into bootloader from a "power off" condition. As long as you can get into bootloader, the fast boot option doesn't matter.
Thanks for ur suggestion but it seems like now i am unable to get into bootloader mode power button and volume down button is not working .Every time i do so now it ends up with the htc logo previously i was able but now it seems it is not working.So is there any other way i could get into bootloader mode and post more detail about my phone hboot and other like u said
Maybe it runs out of battery ... put it on wall charger for a few hours.
When in bootloop .. press & hold both power & volume UP buttons until it turns black/screen off then release both buttons and hold & press volume DOWN button only yo get to bootloader/hboot
When it runs out of battery, after charged, press & hold volume down button then press power (when it vibrate, release power button but keep holding volume down button) this will get you to bootloader/hboot

This almost always means that you aren't doing the button combo correctly. Do as ckpv5 suggest above. You either aren't pressing vol down soon enough, or letting go too early. Just try again, until you get into hboot.
I had the same problem, fixed it by flashing RUU found here .

The RUU linked in the previous post won't work. RUU needs to match your OS number you just gave.
If there is an RUU for your OS number, it will work. You will need to relock the bootloader to RUU.
The other option is to flash a 6.12.740.4 TWRP back up, if someone can upload one for you.
Or another option is to just flash a stock or rooted ROM, if you aren't picky about being on the exact stock version 6.12.740.4 for your CID.
As far as rooting, you probably flashed the wrong SuperSU version for MM. But its hard to say for sure, since you only answered a portion of the questions asked of you.

I asked a number of questions in Post #2 above, some of which you didn't answer. Namely, if you tell me what version TWRP and what version SuperSU, I can probably tell you why the root failed, and how to do it properly once you get the OS installed again.
Ample12 said:

There is plenty you can do. I already told you 2 possible solutions to the issue. Now you need to read and search to see if the files are available. If you have specific questions about the process, I'll be happy to answer. As for searching for the needed files, you can do that just as well as I can.

6(a). Reboot, connect device to PC then
open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
open SD Card - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to MicroSD)
6(b). For those with no OS, connect device to PC. In TWRP recovery go to mount, make sure MTP is enabled.
but when i open twrp folder in pc it says empty i checked everything is ok as the instruction but the twrp folder in empty so where should i copy twrpbackup now

Have you done step 5 ? Can you see the backup that you make when you select restore menu on TWRP ?
Find this your made backup on PC then replace its content with the extracted backups contents that you downloaded ... copy & paste & replace.

Day 1, I got my phone I unlocked bootloader and rooted.
I created a backup and tried installing Android Revolution HD 53.1 and it worked, however my WiFi didn't work and boot times would be long, so I uninstalled it and went back to my backup I had made. I read that this happens because my current firmware 1.58.502.1 (4.4.2 KITKAT) is too low (incompatible) to download Android Revolution HD 53.1.
Recently I also bought the sunshine S-off method. So I am currently S-OFF.
ALSO worth noting while I have the international edition of HTC ON M8, I am using T-MOBILE
With S-OFF am I able to go directly to Android Revolution HD 53.1 (which is MM Custom Rom)? If not how do I make my devie compatible with this version?
I would appreciate any help, thank you.

Please do, I'll be more than happy to help with any questions although you seem to have 90% of this down. The other 10% is small stuff only plausible via sunshine.
Lollipop 502 (AT&T) firmware can be found here (packed with custom ROM): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Another option (since you have s-off) is to change to Developer's Edition CID or SuperCID. then flash to Marshmallow firmware or MM RUU (if you want to be all fancy like that). Although the current custom ROMs (including MM ones) should run fine with LP firmware (its KK firmware that is the main problem).

Honestly, I gave up. I was reading some tutorials but did not understand what I had to do. I come from a Galaxy S4 and that phone is infinitely more times easier to mod than this phone. I have had to jump through so many hoops to just root it.
However, I have no idea where to go now, I feel like such a noob.

This has given me new hope, thank you. I will try this when i get home from work
Woo did a quick check at work to see if my device was compatible. My CID is CW__001 so looks like it will be compatible, can't wait to get home and try it hopefully I don't brick my phone! Will keep you updated, thank you.

Stick with it. Every device has its own learning curve. And we're happy to help and explain as much as needed to get the job done.
But really, flashing the firmware is not too difficult; especially considering you've already accomplished unlocking the bootloader, know how to flash custom ROMs, etc.
The link I gave you has instructions on how to flash the firmware. After doing those steps (1-3) just flash TWRP 3.0.0.0, as the version indicated in the page I linked is a bit old.

Just got back from work.
I made a backup, flashed the new firmware through cmd, flashed twrp through cmd, now I am flashing lolipop through twrp, i am sweating so much my hands are sweating so bad, i hope everything turns out ok, this is the first time ive ever done any of this so I am extremely nervous.
UPDATE: LOLIPOP ROM FLASHED SUCCESSFULLY, REBOOTING PHONE (I know that it usually takes a while for a fresh ROM to boot) WAITING PATIENTLY AT htc one boot sequence, crossing my fingers! :crying:
UPDATE 2: Got past the boot, now waiting on "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app 44 of 223" (damn bloatware!)
UPDATE 3: SUCCESS!!! EVERYTHING WORKS, YOU ARE A GENIUS, I LOVE YOU MAN, THANK YOU!
I really appreciate that you helped a complete stranger such as myself, I know you didn't have to, but I greatly appreciate it. Thank you once again man :fingers-crossed:
Running another backup and I will attempt the Revolution ROM once again.

Hello everyone.
I have an M8 with a corrupted software.
Always stuck on HTC logo.
Sometimes when it boots, it shows "3" , which means it's from Three UK.
I looked everywhere but couldn't find the corresponding RUU, except on http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads , but it's only around 500 MB !
It's in zip format.
I can go to the bootloader, but it doesn't accept to FACTORY-RESET (gets stuck on HTC screen)
Software status: Official
RELOCKED
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I unlocked the bootloader in order to try to install another RUU.
Now it shows "UNLOCKED" .
I installed twrp and superuser (I guess).
According to the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
I have to install the sunshine.apk which I can not because my phone doesn't boot except to the bootloader !
What to do here?

That isn't an RUU, its kernel source, and not going to be of any help to you.

Unlocking the bootloader will not allow you to run another version's RUU. I don't know why you think that, but its not correct information.

S-off is not the correct path, to do what you want (nor should it be necessary - save yourself $25). As you've figured out, you need a working OS to s-off; but working OS is the reason you want to s-off. So you have a Catch-22 dead end.
If there is no RUU, unlocked bootloader and TWRP are good things to have done. Now restore the 6.13.771.4 stock nandroid backup, using the file and instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Thanks for the info.
I know TWRP and S-OFF won't help me here, but I just wanted to show what I've done.
One question, why to restore 6.13.771.4?
How will I know it's the correct one for my phone, and not a part of the pre-installed corruption?

This is the main version given in your screenshot in your top post. And you'll see from the stock nandroid collection, that its the correct version number for your CID (carrier version).
Simply put, this is the stock Marshmallow ROM for your M8 version.
Somebody likely made the backup with a working OS. Yours has become damaged or corrupt (most likely) just on your phone. Not every phone with this software number is going to be broken!
didn't work!

excellent turorial.
I followed the steps one by one,
didn't get any errors,
but it didn't work.
I got the HTC screen, then "3" screen, then stuck on HTC One screen!
Any ideas?

Any particular reason why you are looking in command prompt? Since the steps don't use command prompt (unless you adb push the files).
What version TWRP?
Can you post a screenshot of what the TWRP backup folder structure (on the phone) looks like in Windows Explorer? Not sure what we can be missing here. But its worth a look.
Also, you might try the a Lollipop backup. It should work fine with the MM firmware. Although it may cause an issue with OTA updates (mixing LP ROM with MM firmware), at least it (should) get the phone up and running.

no reason for command prompt, but I just was there and noticed this.
TWRP 2.8.7.0-m8 according to the turorial.
I want to try Lollipop since it was the o.s. when my phone was working properly before I upgrade to 6 and get the wifi problem.
any specific Lollipop version?
I just want a stable version.
thanks

here's a screen shot
the path on my laptop was the same.
sorry,
I used twrp-2.8.7.0-m8
I'm confused about what you are talking about anymore. Did you sell the phone or not?

If this is a different phone, you need to give details.
Fastboot getvar all
I've played with this phone for some time, but am tired of messing around with it and just want to get back to stock with root and unlocked bootloader as fast as possible. AKA have someone walk me through it on a screenshare/call. I'm willing to pay for the help. Not sure what someone would want to tell me what to do and help me do it. Please send me a PM and I'll update this thread when I've found someone.
Current state of things:
Bootloader unlocked
S-On
CM13 from Feb2016 installed
TWRP recovery 2.8.7.0 or thereabouts installed.
I have windows7, 10, and Linux Mint boxes depending on which you prefer. I am fairly technical, but haven't messed with things since I mucked up my phone. I never thought it would be such a pain in the a$$ to get back to stock as this is the first time I modded my phone. Just don't have time to try 1000 things or read 1000 threads. :crying:
thanks
What's your current firmware version? (boot to download mode and copy the OS version number).
I'm fairly certain that AT&T has a Windows executable RUU that will restore your phone to stock. (You'll probably need to install HTC Sync Manager to get the right drivers installed)
---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
When you get your firmware version, the key is to only use a RUU that matches your version number or is a higher version. Downgrading is not possible for S-ON devices.
The current version is OS-2.11.502.18

No more help required.
