[Q] EU M9 still says "software status:modified" after RUU - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
i wanted to go fully stock on my M9 to get official OTA.
but after i flashed the 1.40.401.8 RUU it still says "software status: modified" in the bootloader.
so the question is; will it break OTA or is it just annoying looking at?
thanks in advance.

If you were soff then you could return to full stock, just unlocking the boot loader then relocking it will show the tempered flag, personally never wanted to go back to stock for an ota so not 100% as to whether it'll work, a fair few people have said returning to stock and then accepting the ota is a way to get the firmware upgraded so I assume that it's OK.
If its not then it'll just fail. Shouldn't break anything, ota should always leave a way back

I think you have to flash an untouched system image for your device to take OTA that way. Why not just run the RUU for the new software/firmware?

so there is no going back to unmodified after i modified the software, without throwing 20$ at sunshine?

Oh ok gotcha, I know to go back to completely stock to get OTA you have to find untouched system image and change something's around in twrp. Check out post #3 in this thread and read FAQ's #8.

I though with twrp if you made a system image back up in "read only" you can flash that and stock recovery after making a few changes in twrp and be fine to take OTA.

That's correct. I wasn't disagreeing with anything. Just saying Sunshine S-Off is $25, not $20...unless it's been discounted since I did it.
But no matter what you do, once your device status in bootloader changes to modified, you can't change it back to "official" without s-off.

That's what my understanding is too. After installing TWRP take stock backup before rooting. Then install backup before taking OTA. One question though. SuperSU has an option to remove root. Will have to try this on the next OTA.

Still 25

To return to official status instead of modified simply run the RUU.zip using the 0PJAIMG.ZIP method
rename the RUU.zip to 0PJAIMG.ZIP, place it on a ext sd card formatted in FAT32 (a 16 or 32gig one should work), reboot into DOWNLOAD_MODE, agree and it should flash.

With s-off it will not change back to modified again

I've never had to do it, but what would be the point of it if you could just flash that zip and you're back to stock?

I don't understand your question "what would be the point of it if you could just flash that zip and you're back to stock?"
if you use the 0PJAIMG.ZIP flash method it resets the phone to Official (isn't that what this thread is about ?)
with s-on the 0PJAIMG.ZIP would have to be your current firmware version or newer (you need s-off to go backwards)
this is all in theory as I have never flashed the 0PJAIMG.ZIP with s-on but it should work
OMJ describes using it with s-on here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/development/ruu-sprint-htc-one-m9-1-32-651-17-t3073355
Those are Sprint files but the method is the same

Missing Firmware

Hey folks.
So I was running CM11 on my Rogers M8 for quite some time, until I decided to flash Sense based roms. Uh-oh, Wifi doesnt work anymore. Decided to do some digging, and realized that it's due to my older firmware which needs to be updated.
I followed the guides, and did the following to prepare:
Flashed stock recovery. I know it worked due to the triangle and explamation mark.
Relocked the bootloader through ADB commands.
Proceeded to ADB "fastboot getvar all" to see my current version.
That's when I saw that right next to the "version-main" it's empty. No numbers. Consequently, I haven't been able to flash any firmwares since it never passes any checks.
I am S-ON (firewater didnt work), CID is ROGER001, and completely exhausted. Please, help me figure this out.

What do you mean each time?
You can flash stock firmware without going back to stock. As long as your MID and CID match.
Just download stock rogers firmware, rename and install it in hboot, or use RUU mode in fastboot.

Here are all the files to download to go back to stock rogers. Download and zip them, then use TWRP to flash. Afterwards you will just have to install a stock recovery to be fully stock, but if you don't carte about OTAs, stick with TWRP. That way you can make nandroid backups.
EDIT: I'm mistaken here. You need them unzipped. PM sent.
For others with the same issue of returning to Canadian stock, go to this thread for links and a guide on how to do so.

The getvar tell me, you are S-ON.
But you need S-OFF to flash a new firmware.
Otherwise you brick your phone.
That the firmware number is not showing is not critical i think. Its a symtom of some roms.
I flashed the newest firmware to my m7, number was showing. Then i flash Viper 7.0.1 and after that, my number is hidden.
But everything works, so i think its not critical.

Not true, you can flash the latest firmware if you're S-ON, the only "catch" is that it MUST be the correct MID and CID(That's in Firmware.zip) else it won't flash.
It's also the only way for an S-ON device to update it's Radio, as it won't be able to manually flash Radio's if it's not S-OFF.
Of course you need to relock your bootloader to do this with S-ON. So get stock recovery also, of course make backups of everything you need backed up as relocking it might erase all data.

Modified Status in Recovery

Hey guys !
As the title suggests. What does that mean? and how do i revert to official locked ?
I have s-on and have rooted and installed twrp, and cwm afterwards. And decided to go back to stock( because the current methods of changing to s-off are not working) by flashing through cwm a RUU backup. And flashing the stock recovery afterwards. I have also declined root access when prompted by cwm after RUU install.
What can I do to return to 100% stock ?
After entering fastboot The first text is ***MODIFIED*** and at os there is blank space. I want to return my phone to out of the box state.

Doesn't matter, you can restore stock ROM until the cows come home. You won't be able to change the modified flag in the bootloader. You need S-OFF to change the text to "official" just like you'll need S-OFF to change the bootloader "locked" text to "Locked" and not "Relocked" if you relock the bootloader.
You will NOT be able to have it show the same way it was "out of box" if you do NOT have S-OFF.
So the only way is to buy the s-off service with 25$ right?

Then you're fine.
Rooted, S-OFF, Modified status, none of those will prevent OTA updates. You MUST have stock reocovery and stock ROM for OTA updates i.e No changes to system files, no deleted apps, no xposed framework.
If all those are stock you can get and install OTA no problem. Don't even have to relock the bootloader for it.

[Q] On custom ROM but want to go back to stock?

Hey everyone,
So here's what I've done on my phone:
Unlocked Bootloader
Installed TWRP
Rooted
Flashed custom ROM with kernel (specifically SkyDragon with its kernel)
I am still S-ON
Now I want to go back to stock. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696147
Can I just follow the steps (unzip the file, put it in the folder, and use restore in TWRP) and then go back to stock (with the root the OP said)?
Thanks

What version did you have before putting custom ROM on? Was it 1.58 or 2.x?
If it was 1.58.502.1 you can also run the RUU for AT&T
But even if it's 2.x you can still restore the 1.58 and restore it, put on a stock recovery and let the OTA's roll :good:

Depending on why you are wanting to return to stock, you might consider that the Developer Edition phone is the same model as the AT&T phone - only the CID are different (MID is the same). I'm an AT&T customer and I've been running the Developer Edition software since about day 3 (I waited to make sure the phone was okay) and I have had zero problems with it. The only thing I sorta miss is Visual Voicemail, but otherwise I've been happier than a clam.
You do have to S-off to switch the CID if you want OTA updates, but a nandroid backup would probably work fine as well.

You can mount the partitions in recovery though, so you should still be able to see it when connected to PC then you can just copy it over that way.

Yeah, I would have suggested that as well but he's S-ON so...
It'll be much better to go Developer Edition, like you said model is the same, shouldn't have problems with radio etc and you'll definitely get updates at a much faster rate than sticking with AT&T. Seems they still use the Telegram to push OTA's which is why 4.4.4 is months behind.

Which partition would I mount? It only lets me mount Data, System, and one other thing but none of those make it discoverable in my computer. I just reflashed the ROM and am hoping it doesn't crash before I finish copying the file *fingers crossed*
I would have liked to S-OFF if possible but not sure anymore about that seeing how the only way is through sunshine :c
Back to stock thanks so much !

Big Boy Marky,
I have a similar problem. I had Insert Coin ROM installed. My Microphone is not working, so I want to send it back because the M8 is still under warranty. I flashed with the stock RUU, but the bootloader had re-locked. I unlocked bootloader again to root the phone in order to get the bootloader back to "Locked State." While rooting I crashed into a wall while installing superuser and I can't get binaries installed in order to be rooted. I have a HTC one M8 At&T Harmon Kardon Edition. Anything I can do to get it back to factory stock?
Thanks,
Teknokill

[Q] OTA update failed

Hi,
This morning, I received the OTA update for Android L. I downloaded it but when I tried to install it, at about 2/3 minutes after it started, the little "!" icon turned red and my phone restarted. I tried an other time and it failed again..
A couple of months ago, I've installed on my device the Stock ROM (odexed version) and the Stock Recovery for Android 4.4.2 (for the HTC One M8, obviously). Everything went well. Then, I was able to update to 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 thanks to the OTA updates without any issues.
How can I install this new OTA update ?
For your information, on my bootloader, I can read "Software status: Modified", "Relocked" and "S-OFF". My CID is 11111111.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I've got the same problem! Any help/guidance would be appreaciated.
It is same to me too .Just tried for second time and update was failed !
Same problem. I've just relocked the bootloader and return to S-On -> Same problem
I'm also having this problem, S-Off'd but stock firmware.
I'm also having this problem, i have s-on, and stock recovery, bootloader status modified.
You all guys have a modified system or firmware, thats the reason why you have Modified in bootloader.
Download the 4.16.401.10 RUU or 3.28.401.9 Nandroid.. Then flash 3.28.401.9 stock firmware and get your OTA.
btw @mosk59 the biggest mistake you did is going back to S-ON.. i would never do that.

My system / firmware is pure stock. When I am in bootloader it says "Software Status: Official" - I am S-off, and I had cid: 11111111, just changed to HTC__Y13 and tried again, same result

It doesn't give an error, it just shows a red exclamation mark in a Triangle.
I'm pretty sure I don't have any modified system files.
Is there anyway I can flash the files you are quoting and still keep my apps and data?

Yeah, you will loose all data on internal storage.

It won't be a problem that i have s-on right? Just in case that maybe it might be a problem, because i'm not really a fan of modifications but i got my phone like that.

People should learn to make a full stock backup so they don't run into these situations.....it's the basic to start with !

Go back to stock ROM with S-ON

Title says all. I want to back to stock so I can get latest firmware. I am S-ON, and don't plan on paying $25 to get S-OFF. I did search, but any results were for S-OFF or had dead links.

If you unlocked bootloader/installed TWRP the right way then you will have a stock System image backup. If you don't then get one here. This can be restored in recovery after mounting system read-only, see this post. You will then also need to restore stock recovery to be able to take an OTA, details in the same post.
This stuff is all out there if you search and read!

No Need to S-Off to return to stock, Im S-On and went about it this way. Go to this link HERE and start at step 5 to get back to stock. Then for the firmware updates go to his link HERE and download the the ruu that you would need (for me it was att's offical 2.11). Then connect your phone to a pc, make sure you enable USB Debugging and give permission for the pc to connect. Run the RUU, this will upgrade you to the newest firmware and stock rom. It will remove your recovery and root so you will have the go threw the steps to flash TWRP or what ever recovery (start at step 1 at the first link posted) and then re-root your phone. After that your all good
Are all the M9 recoveries the same? The only RUU my carrier (Telus) has is on 1.32, and the links provided were AT&T's. I'm currently S-ON.

No they're not all the same. There's always a recovery in the the OTA update, so you can extract it from there on the next update if you can wait.

you could look at Android Ruu to see if they have your carriers ruu listed, my bad on the att links, the Windroid Tool at This Link Here might be able to help you find other ruus and recoveries, Ive used this tool a lot, but not sure if it fully supports your M9 version. Hope this helps you some.
