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.

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.

Whats a Demo Rom ?
do you have TWRP installed ?
Install this >> http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=One_M8_2.22.401.4_odexed.zip
That will get the phone working and Sunshine should get you s-off

yes i have twrp-2.8.1.0 installed. demo roms are those roms like in shops they have demo phones with playing demo videos again again in it. this rom is only supporting 2G. i used this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235 and copied the odexted zip to twrp. it runs successfully but after that phone is in same old condition. is it true that the odexted rom is not installing because im S_ON??
and tell me if i S_OFF will i get ota updates with the odexted rom? sunshine needs 25$. well havnt tried firewater on this demo rom. and bro the link u sent is not working.

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.

I glad you got it working .. sorry about the dead link, i wish Mike would leave the old version on his site longer
Hello everyone, I I just got an M9 at my local Telus store and I would like to be able to do everything with it like I am able to do with my M7, so I know I will need to use sunshine to get S-OFF and I would also like to be able to change everything from the rom to the kernel to the OS, everything, so I was just wondering if someone could let me know the best order to go about doing things, meaning should I do sunshine first then worry about flashing a recovery and all that, or should I do the recovery first so that I can backup the phones current state? The phone currently says this in the hboot screen:
*** LOCKED ***
LK-1.0.0.0000
OS-1.32.661.6
and this is what it says on the phones Setting-About-Software screen:
Android version
5.0.2
HTC Sense version
7.0
Like I mentioned before, it would probably be best if I can make a backup of the phones current state just in case there are any issues, so to do that I know I need a recovery, but do I need to do the HTC Dev unlocker before I can do so? or do I have to flash a recovery first before everything else?
Now, before anyone gets upset with me for asking these questions because they have most likely been asked 1000 times before, I am not asking to be spoon feed all the details step by step, I am just asking to be pointed in the right direction and asking for you guy's opinions on the best way to go about doing things so that I do them right the first time... So if anyone could please take a minute to help me out and get me pointed in the right direction then it would be greatly appreciated... thank you very much...

First thing you should do is unlock your bootloader. After that you can install twrp and flash supersu (most can be found here) Once you are rooted run sunshine. After that the sky is the limit. You will be free to flash anything and everything. I know because I've done it. If you want to convert to a developers edition there is a post here. Personally I do not use my stock recovery or system image backups to download ota's. I prefer to run an RUU and do fresh installs. Reason why is because I am constantly changing firmware and roms. A lot of roms are based on the WWE firmware.
let me know if you have any more questions

Thank you very much for the tips.. Do I use the HTC Dev website to unlock the bootloader? I seen a link in the dev thread that said Unlock bootloader without HTCDev(root required), but I bet that the HTCDev way is probably the best best. which did you use? I'm not at home right now so I will begin when I get home later on tonight and if I need anything else I will post back, plus I post back to say how everything goes.. Thanks again for help, it is very much appreciated...

I've used htcdev for all 2 out o 3 of my m9's. third one is a developer edition so it wasn't needed.
just note download mode is fastboot mode on the m9. htcdev says to boot to fastboot mode and if you do not know than you can waste hours trying to figure it out.

Ok so I got the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, right now I am taking a backup of the phones current state just in case. Now I just need to flash the SuperSU beta from the link you provided and then run sunshine, after that I would like to flash the latest OS for my phone, but I am not sure which version to use, I think this one is correct http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/firmware-red-t3097678 but I am not 100% sure, do you know if this is the correct latest version for my phone?
Also should I supercid my phone before updating the firmware by entering "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" while in download mode? because my cid is TELUS001 and I do not see that cid listed in the androidinfo.txt file that is in the firmware zip...
Thanks again for all your help...
**UPDATE** I now have S-OFF, I can't believe how smooth the whole process is now with sunshine compared to almost all of my other HTC phones, hats off to those guys for sure... Thank you very much for getting me this far!!! I appreciate it very much...

I was actually just going to tell you to type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
while in download mode and to copy and paste that into a file a text file somewhere so you always have it. then you can supercid. I actually have never seen any firmware for your carrier. what is your mid? this is where I get all of my firmware from. I learned how to remove the red text using hex editor and I also throw in a custom splash screen before I flash.
Here is a link for your stock firmware. not sure what the most up to date is but most custom roms are using the WWE firmware anyways.
p.s. either quote me or tag me if you need a faster response. I'm not getting notifications otherwise.

I honestly don't know if the hardware is any different but it looks like your mid is the same as the dev ed. check this one out. @clsA is very knowledgeable on the m9. I learned a lot of what I know from his posts.

If going to dev ed I have had better luck running an RUU and accepting ota's as far as the radio goes. my reception went from 2 bars to full bars doing it that way verses just flashing the newest firmware. But it is a very long and tedious process and since you just got your m9 I'm sure you want to use it already..
What rom are you thinking about flashing?

Hi guys, I got the HTC 10 bell variant at a good price and since is my back up phone I'm trying to put it to the test to change it from bell variant to the US variant, I was reading a lot of threads but im confused, , I unlocked the bootloader, I instaled the twrp, now how do i change the CID ??mine shows 666, and I want to change it to 617 , do I have to have S-OFF?? or I can do that with S-ON since the Bootloader is unlocked , will I get the OTA updates for the 617 after i change it?? (btw i dont want to chage it to 401 international because im afraid i will loose the band 4 LTE )
I'm with bell and changed to us unlocked. There might be a way to do it without s-off like maybe super cid. But to install ruu.exe you need s-off. You will get ota but to apply all you need is to reinstall stock recovery.

You can't change your CID and flash the Unlocked version without S-OFF.
Thanks guys for your replays ,btw nitramus can u pls add a step by step how I did it??I'm new with the HTC
Since you're at the cid part just look for the thread for changing cid and flash ruu. And look at the thread with all the backups for all the versions or stock rom. You will have all you need, latest available rom with ota. To prevent any problems as soon as your phone is ready to use after ruu and you logged in to you account apply ota right away, then flash supersu and have fun.

Yes to convert your phone to U.S Unlocked you'd have to S-off to be able to change your CID. You gotta pony up the 25 USD, which is worth it in my opinion if you're gonna use the 10 as your main phone and tinker with it for a year or two.
Basically follow the steps from this guide, and when it comes to flashing an RUU use the Unlocked one you can download directly from HTC.com
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/guide-how-to-drand-convert-htc-10-to-t3374593
BTW it's very fitting that Bell's CID is 666

OK did that so I have S-off, I changed the CID on the cmd , and than I flashed with RUU_PERFUME_WL_M60_SENSE80GP_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.53.617.5 than update to the latest ones that they pop up to update, nice Thank you ,btw if i want to change S-on will impact the updates or should i keep it S-off??
Personally I don't bother to change back but if security is important for you then maybe. Later depending if you want to change things again depending on what you do you might still need s-off.

If you are rooted and/or have a custom recovery, you can't use the official OTAs. You'll need the stock and never rooted ROM (it has to have an unmodified system partition), and also the stock recovery to flash it.
The easiest (and often quicker way than waiting for an official OTA) is to just flash a firmware.zip package in either fastboot or by the rename/SD card method.
I recommend the ones on this thread. You can find both Full Stock .zips there, that will wipe your phone (because they contain the boot.img), and No-Wipe .zips that won't wipe your phone (obviously) as they have the boot.img (kernel and ramdisk) removed, and also contain the latest TWRP recovery versions instead of the stock recovery.

To add regarding future OTA updates, if you want them directly from HTC you'll also have to remove SuperCID, if you have it. Just having a stock/unmodified system and recovery isn't enough.
And I agree, just keep S-off unless you're making a warranty claim.

I was hoping someone might have the official stock firmware including recovery, from bell? I have to send my phone in for warranty repair.

Hey, did you get this figured out?
I have a stock backup in my recovery, might work. Might not lol..
Was thinking of going US since Bell still has not pushed an update out..
I updated my HTC 10 to the brand new 7.0. It seems either Google or HTC has totally broken the long pause conference call pin feature in android. (This is where you dial a number and a conference pin separated by a semi-colon like XXXXXXXXXX;XXXXX) The popup asking me if I want to send the Pin number disappears after about 3 or 4 seconds way before the "Beep" when i need to send the pin.
Total deal breaker for me, since I make conference calls ALL day and I'm not going to revert to writing pin numbers on my hand while i'm in the car so I can dial them at the beep.
I desperately need to go back to Android 6.0.
I have lots of flashing, unlocking, and custom rom experience, but this device has some strange quirks like breaking the radio if you decrypt the file system...
Do I just need to use an android 6.0 RUU?
Will there be any issues due to encryption, 7.0 firmware, or anything else I need to be careful of when downgrading?
I am wondering too about downgrading procedure...
I want to know if it is safe using ruu.
I want to convert my international Htc 10 to developer unlocked and flash ruu so I can receive the nougat it's just to try it out.
Can I reverse this?
Looking forward to that answer.
If you're s-off it should be ok I think. But without s-off, downgrading firmware using an official RUU is not possible

I was on Viper 3,5. I converted my cid-mid to us unlocked and installed latest US UNLOCKED MM RUU.exe successfuly. Then I checked the firmware and took the official OTA,upgraded to Nougat successfuly. So I guess you can have Nougat,too.
Now I am on Nougat US Unlocked S-off cid BS_US001 mid 2PS650000 . I am wondering if I could revert to MM with the RUU.exe I have. Do I have to change to Supercid or do anything else,or just the RUU.exe would do the trick?

And when you say you downgraded..
Were you S-Off? (I'm not and since you said you were like ordeniz, I assume you were?)
Were you on the official 7 OTA (with firmware upgraded) or a custom rom built on 7 but without the firmware upgrade? (Again, if you were like ordeniz then you had the official OTA.)
I just wanted to be clear, and not make any assumptions.

OK. Thanks to all.
Guess I need to S-Off. (I hope sunshine works on 7.0) or I'm pretty well screwed.

As of now i dont think sunshine does
The sure thing I know is that you need to be rooted to be s-off. If sunshine will succeed you will know it when the sunshine app check your system. Download the app and before in app purchase a licence will tell you if you have successfull s off.
incallui.apk
Would someone be so kind as to upload a copy of InCallUI.apk from a 6.x Rom.
It's located in
/system/priv-app/InCallUI
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible for me to use the stock RUU to update to nougat on my htc one m9 rather than waiting for t-mobile to release a verified rom later in the year?
Yes u can. Just make sure that u are s-off and bootloader unlocked and then flash the dev edition ruu and u will get nougat.

Not quite. To flash the developer RUU on a T-Mobile branded M9, you'll need to change your MID & CID to match the SKU of the developer edition RUU. If you don't know about these acronyms, stop what you are doing and read up. The FAQ section of the M9 readme thread, question 9, walks you through converting GSM phones (like the T-Mobile version) to the developer edition.

Not until Sprint releases the Android Nougat update.
The only update the is currently available is for the developer edition of the M9, a GSM model. Sprint is a CDMA carrier and incompatible with GSM.
Thanks for clarifying.
And you cannot flash on sprint or cdma phones. The ruu is only for gsm phones.

Thanks for linking me that. It also solved my question about why I was experiencing a bootloop, and gave me the method I had been searching for to crossflash

Wonderful! Always nice when we find a solution. Kudos go to Flippy498, who created that thread and updates it as things come out, and to the many XDA members who have contributed to it.

Yup, now my next question is...how do i flash firmware v4...as I did CID/MID conversion to the Dev/Unlocked version, but now need the firmware, not just the RUU to flash

RUUs have the firmware along with everything else. While I'm pretty sure there's a way to flash individual components (radio, firmware, et cetera), that is beyond me. I stick to using the RUUs, and recommend them heartily. The easiest method is the SD card method - outlined in that same post. You'll end up wiping your internal phone storage (so back up what you care about), but it'll get you to the latest and greatest for the M9.

Really? I read that you couldn't use an RUU because verify key on firmware v1-3 is different from the one on v4, so you need v4 firmware to use a v4 RUU, which requires using a method. So I converted to dev/ATT/unlocked, flashed a v3 RUU I found online, and now I'm going to try to update to v4 which is apparently safer. If this fails, I'll try the RUU. After all, this is all vanilla to HTC so it should tell me if it won't work.

I'm pretty sure the issues about keys has to do with trying to downgrade. But that's above my knowledge level.
I know for sure that you can apply the Nougat RUU after the Marshmallow RUU without issue because I have done this myself.

Really? Well..I've already applied v3.0 and am going through all the updates. But Its certainly worth a try I suppose.

Are you trying to take OTA updates or using an RUU?
Also, what's the error message?

Tried to use an RUU. Got a signature error of some sort. Can't remember the number. RN it is taking OTA updates smoothly. Now, it will either get to v4 eventually through the OTA updates, or it will cut off at the top of v3 (in which case I have done something horribly wrong). I will try to flash RUU after I get v4 through OTA, just for fun and for the sake of the community
Edit 1: v4 finally showed up through OTA. 2GB Downloading currently. Will still RUU to double check compatibility. Will post back with success or not.
Edit 2: v4 was successful, device convered to HIMAULATT. Now flashing the Dev RUU, which works. It didn't work on v3. Therefor I was correct, and RUU v3 -> v4 isn't compatible.

Going from Marshmallow to Nougat is definitely possible (I've done it myself) - I'm not sure why your phone gave you such troubles. But in any case, I'm glad your phone is fully updated! Congratulations.
