Software Status Modified - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Recently a software company released a new root tool named Kingroot 4.0, says can root 5.0+ device.
My phone on hboot screen shows : software status official, locked, s-on.
Then I tried to root my HTC M8 with this tool. But failed.
Then when I check the hboot screen, software status now is modified, but everything else stays the same.
Under this condition, could I receive and install the future OTA on my M8?
If I couldn't, what should I do?
Thanks

Root tools don't work on this device (with possible exception of the sunshine temp root). You need to unlock the bootloader to root, and once you do that, there are a variety of working root methods.
Not sure what kingroot changes. But if it says software is modified, in hboot, you likely won't be able to OTA.
What is your CID? If an RUU exists for your CID, you can try to use that to restore to stock.
Otherwise, you may need to unlock the bootloader to go back to stock.

Aïe... Okay. Checked my CID with an app, it says :
HTC_622
Asia-HK-CHT

Could you please give me more information or instructions? I know nothing about that.

What are you hboot and software numbers?
My advice is, since your original intent is to root, go to the the following link, and Question #2 addresses how to root this device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
One thing to note, the version of SuperSU linked in the above thread is outdated. You should use this one (especially for Lollipop): https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
If you want to return to the stock ROM and recovery for yout CID in order to install future OTAs, you will find those (and instructions on how to do so) here:

The stock nandroid for that software numbers isn't posted on the thread I linked (only older versions for your CID). So you may need to search around, or ask for someone to post it for you.

Dude!!!!
If you are not rooted, and your bootloader is still locked, wait for your carrier to push the OTA out.
Go to settings > about > software updates and see if something is there for you.

If it is a true developer edition, you might try backing up, running one of the Developer Edition RUU's to get back to 100% stock, and then see if you can get the OTA update. If this was a conversion, make sure the CID/MID are correct (which requires S-off).

lock the bootloader and flash then newest RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
Then simply unlock the bootloader
flash TWRP recovery and SuperSU and a kernel if you need system r/w

Then why did you state in the thread title and OP "stock"?
InsertCoin is a custom ROM and not stock. So you need to return to a stock ROM to install OTA.

1540 is US Dev Edition, and the OP has Euro DE. The RUU likely will not run with incorrect CID, MID. And not sure this is the stock baseline he would want to be on.

Install this >> http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=One_M8_2.22.401.4_odexed.zip

Don't know where you obtained that info, but its false. S-off is not needed to install any ROMs.
If the phone is a demo unit, you should have stated that right away in your top post. On a previous HTC device (One X) I believe the demo unit was very difficult, if not impossible to make fully functioning. But no idea if the same is true for the M8 demo unit you have.

Sounds like you just got some random advice, with an unknown link and flashed it. Why on earth would you do such a thing? Stick to XDA, at least here you can go by reputation (number of thanks, Recongnized Contibutor, or Recognized Dev titles).

As I just said in my last response, you do not need S-off to flash any ROMs. If you want help, you need to start actually paying attention to the help that is being given to you. You are also making it very hard to help you, by not giving enough info, and just leaking it out little by little.
You say you can't flash any other ROMs, but that isn't enough information. What happens when you try to flash? Does it fail with an error message? Or flash successful, but doesn't boot? What other ROMs have you tried?
If you want to return to stock to receive OTAs, you will need to find and flash the appropriate nandroid and stock recovery for our CID. Stock backup collection can be found sticky at the top of the General section. There are also various guides on how to return to stock, if you need them just search.

Software Status: Modied?

I just got my M8 Developer Edition a couple of months ago. CID is BS_US002. MID: 0P6B12000. The only thing I did to the phone was to root it, nothing else. I didn't S-OFF or anything. The only thing before updating to Lollipop, SuperSU binary update failed, I didn't root again as Lollipop was around the corner and was going to do it anyway. While rooting Lollipop, I found at HBoot that Software status: Modified. What could be the reason for that? How can I fix that? I unrooted, did a factory reset and nothing changes.
Here are the full details on HBoot
Software status: Modified
UNLOCKED
M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-1.24.21331147A1.096
OPENDSP-V48.2.2-00564-M8974_FO.1211
OS-4.16.1540.8
eMMC-boot 2048 MB
Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks in advance!

It's not simply being unlocked as the device ships direct from HTC with the bootloader unlocked. That being said I have no idea what makes it switch to "Modified" status. Mine is S-OFF with custom rooted ROM (though it is sense-based and pretty close to stock) and custom recovery and it still displays as "Official".

If you're not bothered about setting up the phone again you could reflash the new RUU and it should correct anything that was changed

Indeed but I don't think that was the issue at hand. He wanted to change the "Modified" status on his phone.
EddyOS suggested that he uses an RUU to turn everything back to normal, hence why he asked for the RUU.

Yeah your system is not stock. Make backups of what you need in the future and do exactly as the thread tells you in order to return to stock via a new stock backup which is probably available there (or a ruu in some cases)

I won't know.... What CID do you have? Mr Hofs asked this previously and I'm yet to see anything from your side. If you're on International WWE then the update is not yet out for your device. If you have Asian WWE then the update *might* be out for your device, either way we won't know. Share some info on what device you have.
In the first post you mentioned you received the OTA for your device... If you don't get it now then try to do a factory reset and see if you can get it afterwards. Though it would still help a lot to know what device you have. So get adb on your PC and in bootloader mode use the command: fastboot getvar all and share the info, just delete the IMEI and Serial number.

Sprint device? Didn't think you'd have a Sprint one, thought you were from the Ukraine going by your flag choice etc.
Either way, 4.4.4 is the latest for Sprint devices, the Lollipop update is still in 2(Integration) stage so it has some ways to go still before lollipop.

Actually i am from Turkey but I live in Ukraine so my situation - its a little complicated Yes sprint device but what is the difference between the other devices M8 and sprint M8 ? And the seller told me the device from USA.
So my device never will get the lollipop ? Or I have to be patience

Well it looks like you've been getting OTA updates so far, so you should be able to get it when Lollipop is released, whenever that is.
Sprint - CDMA device (Verizon as well).
Other M8s - GSM Devices.
You can look up the main differences between the two with a quick google search.
It's American device yes. It would perhaps have been better if they had the Developer Edition or Unlocked Edition from the US instead of a carrier specific(Sprint) device which runs on different technologies(Radios) for their networks. Generally you won't be able to us a CDMA device "just anywhere" where as GSM is Global. Like I said though, you can get the whole explanation with a simple Google search though.
yes i have been getting OTA update. Patience or custom rom .
I can wait for it I think .
And i dont know my device is unlocked edition or developer edition but i use my phone normally i put a nano sim and the network works very well.
I have searched it and get the main idea thank your very much

First of all, flashing a custom ROM will not enable the phone to work on all carriers, as you stated. The ability of the phone to work on different carriers has nothing to do with the ROM.
Secondly, you need to update the firmware to be able to run current ROMs. This might be the cause of your SIM problem, but not sure of that.

Return to stock nandroid, stock recovery, than OTA up to Lollipop. See the following for instructions and needed files (need the specific files for your CID): http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
The OTA will update the firmware. After that, you can install TWRP again, and the custom LP ROM of your choice.

And you have been told how to update the firmware.
You were complaining about the Mega download for the stock nandroid. I asked you some questions (that you didn't answer) and gave some suggestions (did you try them?); and now you are off on some other tangent (and likely one that won't work).
Stick to the methods directed to you by experienced members here.

Need to make sure he tried to download from the correct thread or not ..
as I mentioned here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63541969&postcount=8
and another possibility is the Mega site is still blocked in India (I know that was the case before). If yes, he needs to use VPN to download from Mega site.

Can't flash anything and phone goes into random reboots

I'm currently at loss for what to do now, heres what happened which I think started all these problems
-Was running ICE 5.5.1 stable
-Phone randomly reboots into HTC's white startup screen
-went into TWRP and wiped everything including internal storage
-flashed a new rom hoping it'll stop the reboots, and halfway during the flash the phone reboots itself even before completing
-now stuck with no OS and cant get into recovery
kernel: lk
product: htc_himauhl
version: 1.0
version-main: 3.42.708.3
boot-mode: download
version-baseband: 01.01_U11440801_97.04.60111G_F
version-bootloader: 1.0.0.0000
mid: 0PJA10000
cid: HTC__044
download mode shows "FILE /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/0PJAIMG.zip; FILE NOT FOUND"
Anybody got any suggestions? Hopefully someone here knows something about this
digged around and found that I might need to flash 0PJAIMG.ZIP. Any kind helpful souls out there able to post the image for 3.42.708.3? Tried finding everywhere but couldn't find the relevant file in this forum
You can flash any 3.xx.708.xx firmware. Only the first and third set of numbers really matter. The second set is incremental version, forth set is times to push to devices.
Bear in mind that your device is rooted and unlocked bootloader so flashing stock isn't an option.

Flashing an RUU is definitely the way to go, and will work just fine as long as your SKU and OS version match with the RUU you're attempting to flash.
Being rooted and/or having an unlocked bootloader will not affect the success/failure of flashing an RUU. Follow the instructions on the readme page and you should be golden.

You've read correctly. You need a 3.xx.708.xx RUU (EDITED: See Flippy498's correction below). It may be possible to get on from a paid repository of firmwares, but I don't have any recommendations there.
While HTC can almost assuredly help you (for a fee), it may be worthwhile to look into the paid service mentioned in the readme thread to see if that is more cost-effective.

No, not only the first and the third number of the firmware version matter for S-ON phones. The X and the SKU in X.XX.SKU.YY need to match between the RUU and the phones current firmware. Only Y is allowed to differ if the phone is S-ON.
And a RUU actually flashes everything back to stock. So this

There is a sticky with all needed information for RUUs: The ReadMe thread. (But as always, if you call something "ReadMe" you can rest assured that no one really reads it...) Flashing RUU.exe files can be a pain (just like using htc_fastboot)*. It's easier to use the SD card method. The ReadMe thread even explains how to get the *.zip out of the *.exe.
* I actually never had issues with them but I faced enough users here on XDA and on Handy-FAQ who just couldn't get them to work.

How about Llabtoofer's RUU service as suggested in the ReadMe thread? Or Easy-Firmware if you prefer to own the RUU? (If you choose the latter make sure not to download a RUU with "combined_signed" in its naming. Those are custom made and only flashable with S-OFF. And don't forget to make it available for others, afterwards. )

Thanks for the suggestions! Sad to know that Easy-Firmware is only available for S-OFF users, it could've been great if its flashable on S-ON. Looks like the only way out of is Llabtoofer's RUU service

Easy-Firmware is usable for S-ON users. You just need to make sure that you don't download a "combined_signed" RUU. The ones with only "signed" should be just fine (e.g. "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_3.42.708.3_Radio_01.01_U11440801_97.04.60111G_F_release_471142_signed_2_4_2.zip" or "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_3.42.708.3_Radio_01.01_U11440801_97.04.60111G_F_release_471142_signed_2_4.zip").
