Updating phone!

I'm trying to update the baseband on my phone, however whenever I flash the firmware nothing happens. The phone start, but the baseband is the same 1.16.
I have an international phone, I think. I live in Canada.
This is a Rogers phone.
Running custom rom ARHD 11.1
S-OFF
The CID is ROGER001
And the HID is 0P6B16000
baseband 1.16
buildnumber 2.22.401.5
I've tried downloading the 2.22.401.5 firmware from VomerGuides, I updated the phone, but no change. I would really like help with this. Am I using the wrong update? I don't know what the latest update is anyways, but 2.22 seams like that's the one, so why is my baseband not updating?

Update your Phone(Rogers) to the latest firmware first then update to the latest ARHD.
Firmware for your device and instructions on how to flash it can be found In this post by ckpv5
Note: It's the same post from ckpv5 that I got the backups from for the Rogers.

Thank you for your help. Do I follow all his steps from 1. Or just the firmware part? Since my phone is S-off and unlocked, or what ever it was, if I do everything from 1 will that brick my phone? Or will it be safe?
EDIT:
I followed all the instructions in the end. Ended up losing root. I had to unlock bootloader and get root back. so far, the phone is back up and running. Thank you for your help.

If you really followed the instructions correctly ... there is no instruction that say you need to relock bootloader :silly:

I'm very new to this, but SuperSU stopped working, it told me I lost root, and recovery (TWRP) was totally gone, at the time I did not know how to get that back ether, only after... Anyways, it was a good learning experience, I'm more glad the phone did not get bricked. Anyways thank you very much for your help.
EDIT:
How or where do you go to find out what the latest firmware is? I've tried looking everywhere, and if BerndM14 didn't point out your thread, I would have never found it.

You'll notice that the Rogers, Telus etc isn't on there, but it'll get there eventually. You can also just hop from that thread from time to time for general info about updates, firmware or otherwise.

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, 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.

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?

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.

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).

If its truly the Dev Edition, on the stock ROM and stock recovery, you should get OTA.

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.

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.

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.

Flashing a firmware

Hello
My htc one m8 is the Asian version (HTC__044) , upon using getvar all, I noticed that my version-main was missing along with the os in hboot. If I were to flash a firmware, would I need to relock the bootloader? Would I lose my data on locking the bootloader? Also, im on base .401 , would I directly be able to flash a .707?
Thanks in advance.

If s-on, yes. Otherwise if s-off, no.
Also, be aware that with s-on you can only flash a firmware that is HTC signed/encrypted. Some are not, and require s-off.

How are you determining 401? From what I'm seeing, the stock software/firmware for your CID should be 707.
You should be able to flash 707 firmware (assume you want to update to Lollipop) on your version, provided the previously mentioned requirements are met.

Thanks for replying. I believe it may have been the rom ive installed that changed my firmware, along with the fact it writes .401 on my software information page. Yes the default firmware should be .707 which I believe is also the main cause of my inability to connect to 4g in my area.
So assuming I find a signed firmware for .707 I would simply be able to flash it on the .401? Or would I have to still relock my bootloader.
Also, would the empty os/ version-main be a problem and if so how do I fix it.
Thanks for replying as you've also helped me a great deal the previous time.

Flashing a ROM will not change your firmware. It does change software number, so if that is where you are getting 401 from, that is normal. Software number is just the base of your current ROM, not your firmware number.
Your firmware number is indicated on your bootloader screen under "OS" and also as "main version" when doing getvar all.

Are you s-on or s-off?
If still s-on, there is no way you could have ever flashed a 401 firmware on your phone. I still think you are confused between software and firmware numbers, and I don't guess that you ever flashed a 401 firmware.
If you are s-on, I still think you are on 707 firmware, and there is some other factor causing your 4G problem.
Yes, you need to relock your bootloader to flash 707 firmware while s-on. If you are s-off, you don't need to relock the bootloader.

It shouldn't be a problem. It will be fixed if you flash a firmware.
This bug was caused by older versions of TWRP. If you flash a current version of TWRP after flashing firmware, the problem should not re-occur.

We always like repeat customers, and satisfied ones.

So is it possible that I am actually on 707 but my rom is making it show 401? Im terribly sorry for my lack of understanding of this whole situation.
Would using the twrp app on the play store update twrp? It should fix the empty main-version ?

I know in the past, folks have often used the word "firmware" to mean the same as the ROM. But you should probably erase that notion from your mind. On this device, the word "firmware" is used specifically to partitions that are not flashed when you flash a ROM, and include hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others.
Yes, your firmware may still be 707 (which can normally be found as OS number on hboot screen, or main version when doing getvar all); while your software (ROM) which is shown in Settings>About>Software information can be 401. Firmware and ROM are 2 completely different things.
I've asked twice now, are you s-on or s-off?

You can also just download the latest version and flash with fastboot, which is my preferred method: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
However, this alone won't fix the issue of main version missing, I don't believe. It will only stop if from re-occurring. But the only way to get the main version back is to flash a firmware. After that, having an updated TWRP will stop if from main version displaying "blank" again. If you use an old TWRP, it will blank out the main version again.
Get it?

I'm sorry I kept forgetting to reply to that, I am actually s-on.
So for instance I want to be back on 707 I should just revert to rooted stock?

Than its simply impossible for you to ever have flashed a 401 firmware. Some of the firmware partitions (hboot, radio) are write protected with s-on, and can only be flashed with your CID version firmware (707).

Yes, rooted or unrooted should be fine.
But you will want to make sure your firmware and software versions match up. What are your hboot and radio numbers? Do you remember if you were on Lollipop before unlocking the bootloader?

My hboot would be 3.19.0.0000 and my radio is 1.25.21331147A1.06G
Yep I was on lollipop before unlocking my bootloader.

You can get the stock 4.19.707.2 nandrioid here (Post #2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Keep in mind, this is a TWRP "nandroid" backup, not a flashable ROM zip. So follow the directions carefully to restore this stock nandroid.
Also note that this is the stock ROM, not the firmware.

Would I get back my 707 if I flashed this instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-sd-14-19-707-21st-android-5-0-sense-t3010391 ?
im seeing an Asian wwe base and it is 707.
Also I wouldn't be able to dirty flash a completely different rom right?

Not sure what you mean by "get back my 707", and you need to explain more clearly.
If the intent is to return to 707 firmware, its not needed, I'm confidant you already are on current 707 firmware. And flashing a ROM does not change your firmware (as I've already explained multiple times).
If the intent is to make the main version appear again, flashing a ROM won't do that either. As mentioned, you can only make that reappear by flashing a firmware.zip (not a ROM.zip).
If the intent is to just return to a 707 ROM base, then yes the ROM you linked will do that. But the only reason I see for you to do so, is to see if it helps your network issue. Using ROMs of other bases will not normally affect network service (as long as your carrier's APN is correct). And I've already linked you to stock 707 nandroid, which is probably the best baseline to troubleshoot from. Or are you not comfortable with the nandroid restore process?
Again, you haven't really explained what you are trying to accompish; so its hard to answer the question.

If the ROM is a similar enough base, it might be possible to dirty flash. But its not recommended, and still possible to have various severe bugs, or not even boot. Therefore, full wipe is normally recommended when moving between different ROMs (and often even major updates of the "same" ROM).
Any person flashing ROMs should know how to backup and restore their personal data (using Titanium Backup and/or other means) when moving between ROMs.

Sorry for my vagueness in my previous post. Currently in my phone settings, the build number is 4.26.401. , which is the base of my current rom? So supposedly if I flash an Asian wwe would I get my software base back to a 707 as in the link.
Also, you mentioned for me to flash my firmware as per my cid, which could be found in most firmware dumps? Would be it be possible to link one to me? And if I am in fact on a 707, do I still flash 707 firmware?
The reason why I an unwilling to go through with nandroid is that I am not exactly looking to restore to stock, I like to have customs roms and the root capabilities. My ultimate objective is to get back to 707, or at least get it to appear on my software information screen. To my knowledge, 401 is for the European countries and the basebands for 4g LTE is different, thus I am unable to find out why if I am s-on with my firmware and radio intact I could not connect to my local 4g LTE, and to my point of view, only through flashing a firmware affect everything.
Im sorry for this large amount questions and extremely grateful you have taken the time to tend to it. I sincerely apologise if I seem to keep insisting that my firmware has changed despite your reminders.

I've actually been trying to update the firmware on my M8 today as well, but when I go to "flashboot flash zip firmware.zip" I am returned the message "not enough space."
I've cleared the cache successfully, and that didn't open up enough space. I tried to delete userdata, but it wouldn't let me do it remotely.
So I'm a little confused as to my next move here...
and I've relocked my phone and s-on.

Yes. You will get your software number back if you flash a 707 based ROM, such as stock.
So, here we go.
Download this 4.19.707.2 RUU onto your PC
When the download is finished, plug your phone into your PC, double click on the downloaded file, and follow the prompts. This will update you to Lollipop and you will be on the stock ROM again.
Since you are S-On, you will first need to relock the bootloader.
In fastboot (obviously) fastboot oem lock before you proceed with this.
Also, THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE, so be sure to backup anything that is important to you.

Is the ruu rooted, or purely stock pre-root?

If the intent it to return to 707 based ROM to see if that helps your 4G issue, then yes the custom ROM you previously posted will do that. It will also make 707 appear for software number in the phone Settings.

I was more talking "if" you can find the 4.16.707 firmware. The main firmware collection I refer to doesn't have 4.16.707, just old 707 firmwares (which you don't want)]: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
If the firmware can't be found, the RUU listed by xunxholyx is your best bet if you really want to flash the 707 firmware. But I really don't think this is needed. As I'm nearly 100% sure you are already on the current 707 firmware, and the only benefit of flashing the 707 firmware (by RUU) is to get the OS number to appear again on the bootloader screen and on getvar all (which is really not that important).
On the other hand, RUU to full stock may be a good way to troubleshoot your 4G issue, especially if flashing the 707 based custom ROM still doesn't fix the issue. RUU is not just a stock ROM, but a complete factory image, complete with bootloader, radio, etc.

Yeah, they are hard to come by. I was helping a user here six to eight weeks ago, and told him I didn't know of any Asia RUUs. He came back the next day replying that he found one, so I asked for the link and gave it to Sneakyghost and Alex (from AFH) to upload to androidruu.com
They have a few that aren't common there, and are always looking for more hard to find ones. If you come across one, you could PM me or Sneakyghost to have it added. Always nice to have a good RUU repository to go to.

Hey everyone. I'm having a similar issue, and I don't want to start a new thread, so I'm going to add on to this one.
I've been on AOKP since it was released for this phone, so I've missed out on some OTA updates. Every time I try to flash a Lollipop ROM I get all these weird issues (WiFi not working, systemUI crashes, etc.), and after reading a few threads, I believe its an issue with the firmware.
I tried going back to stock, but the only Nandroid backup I could find for my phone isn't compatible with my firmware (WiFi refuses to work, only data). So I was wondering what else I could do to update the firmware. Reading this thread, it looks like the RUU is another method, but I'm not too sure how to get started with that, or which one to use, as my OS in the Bootloader and my version-main is blank.
Any advice is appreciated, please let me know if you need more info.
My Device:

What are your hboot and radio numbers?

How to install a MM Custom ROM while on KITKAT? (International version)

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.

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.
