Recovering to Sense - Which is the right ROM ? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Phone is from UK/Virgin Mobile, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed this ROM unaware that my banking app would stop working.
I did the mistake not to make a backup before flashing the custom ROM, I would like to recover to stock but I'm not sure how to go about it,
I tried using RUU_M8_WHL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_4.25.651.14_Radio_1.09.20.0209_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_426232_signed_2 2 which I downloaded here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html but it failed ( ERROR [132]: Signature Error ).
Code:

Virgin Mobile US is not the same as Virgin in the UK. Wrong CID, and that is the reason for signature fail.
Further, Virgin US is a subsidiary of Sprint, which is a CDMA carrier and the Sprint version of the M8 is CDMA. Even if the RUU ran, it would probably brick your phone.
I don't think your CID has an official RUU. Restore the stock nandroid (4.16.401) for your CID from the following thread (instruction on how to do so in Post #3 of the linked thread, under Questions & Answer): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

I see, thank you. I actually already looked at this thread before but the file "4.16.401.10 - TWRP Thanks to sneakyghost" is offline.
Edit: I guess this could work ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563

Nope. It clearly says s-off required in the thread. And you need a working OS to get s-off.

The OS (Skydragon's GPE) is working but I want to go back to stock. I really don't want to spend the money on Sunshine tbh though, unless it's my only option.

Ah yes. Helping too many people at the same time, I got you mixed up.
Someone posted the RUU to the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61527304&postcount=5393
Looks like the official RUU.exe, but I can't personally vouch for it.

Did you relock the bootloader (required to run RUU with s-on)?

Why, and I mean this in a nice way, is your solution to everyone to unlock or root their phone? If the person just wants it working again then read what they're asking and advise accordingly.
To the OP, can you post the output of 'fastboot getvar all' and we can see what FW build you're on and what we can do to help, shouldn't be too hard

OK, that confirms you're on the old HBOOT (3.16.0000) and is pretty much the issue as to why it's not working as Lollipop ideally needs HBOOT 3.19.0000 to go with the new FW. Was your device a branded phone when you bought it brand new or was it a SIM-free version (e.g. was it on x.xx.401.x first)?

Its not the OS software that is being referred to here. The "firmware" (admittedly, a crappy name as "firmware" can mean a great many things really) is the hboot, radio, media, WiFi and other modules. If your firmware doesn't match the ROM, WiFi being broken is the common result.

Just get back to the stock ROM that matches your current firmware (your hboot indicates that would be Android 4.4.2) and WiFi will work again.
Restore stock ROM and stock recovery for your CID, and it should enable OTA, which yes, that will update your firmware. You'll have to work through a few OTAs, as you are now a couple versions behind.
Was it T-Mobile US or EU? If the former, the RUU is online

Its not just hboot, but all the modules in the firmware "package" that are the issue. Meaning, just updating hboot alone won't fix your WiFi issue.
Hboot is just one of the ways you can (usually) tell what firmware you are on. You can look at the radio number as well.

That's what I wanted to check. The T-Mobile US RUUs are online, EU ones are not so you'll need to restore a backup based on 1.5x - there should be one in the backups thread. What country are you in?

The netherlands, i found the rom but when i restore it gives a md5 failure? i switched md5 checksum of but than he doesnt file back up data...

[HELP] Wanted to unroot, tried a procedure and many problems. Please help.

Hello guys, so today i decided to unroot my phone and go back to stock because i want to sell it. I started doing theunlockr.com method (http://theunlockr.com/2014/06/08/how-to-unroot-the-htc-one-m8-video/) in the step of flashing stock nandroid backup, i flashed it using TWRP restore utility, then i didnt find any folder in the gallery and there was around 5 out of 16 GB avaialible only, so i did a "fromat data", since it erases everything, i pushed the firmware 4.16.401.10 using ADB into the TWRP folder (it wasnt there so i created a backup and there i found it). Then i restored the nandroid backup, now there are 4.5GB used which i cant find and some folders still dont appear in file manager... and i have wifi issues, it doesnt connect to wifi and neither does mobile data work. I need help as soon as possible. ANy help is MUCH apprecciated. Than you guys. and if there is any other way to completely unroot hope someone would help.
PS, i am planning to flash stock recovery, its just i want to fix the current problemss then i can flash stock recovery and lock the bootloader.

The easiest way to go back to stock is to run the appropriate RUU.
Download this RUU onto your PC.
When the download if finished, hook your phone up to your PC and double click on the download.
Follow the prompts.
Super easy.
This will bring you back to stock including your stock recovery. It will also wipe your phone.

Thank you so much for your help, i will try this as soon as the download finishes. Is the normal M8 S-OFF or S-ON? and if it is either one, how do i change it? Because i want to go exactly back as it was in order to sell it.
Thanks again for your help ^_^

You are already S-On, and will remain that way.
The only differences from the day you bought it will be that the bootloader is unlocked, and the the stock ROM is the latest Android version (5.0.1 Lollipop instead of 4.4.2 Jellybean), just as it would be if you had remained stock and updated through the OTA updates from HTC and your carrier.

Without S-Off (which costs $25), you can only set it to re-locked status and not locked, so I wouldn't bother.

From your getvar. Hook up to your PC, get into ADB, and enter adb getvar all.
Post the readout here. Edit out your IMEI and serial# from it first. That is private information that you should never post on a public forum.
EDIT: I saw your bootloader readout in the thread you started. There is no RUU available for your device (Vodafone) that I am aware of. Sorry.

Rooted HTC One m8 Lollipop to Marshmallow

Hi. I read up on various threads and could not find the correct tutorial or method for this?
My HTC One m8 is rooted, unlocked, S-On, and running Lollipop with a GPE ROM.
I would like to upgrade to Marshmallow.
What is the easiest method to do so? No thread I've stumbled upon appears to be what I am looking for, but then again I'm awful at this stuff and also just kind of cautious because I've run into many issues in this kind of work and I just want to make sure I am on the right path.
Thanks, everyone.

Download Windows, 7,8,10. Install bootcamp, install windows, reboot, setup windows, install sneaky's tool. Then pay Ed in beer.

How did you unlock your bootloader before ? You should already have fastboot.
Open terminal, type ./fastboot getvar all
If you need fastboot/adb for mac, try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390995

As mentioned, my phone is S-ON, and the link warns that in order to flash the latest firmware, I need to be S-OFF.
Is there another way?
If you're going to tell me I need S-OFF, I should mention I have tried, countless times and hours, to achieve S-OFF, with my friends too, and we just could not manage to get my phone to S-OFF.
So an S-ON method would be awesome.

You have the latest firmware available which according to Captain Throwback you should be able to flash his MM ROM and it should boot just fine.

Excellent. Thank you!
So, to refresh my memory:
1. Download the ROM on my Mac
2. Put my phone into bootloader and connect USB
3. Wipe everything?
4. Flash the ROM
5. Success?

Yep, but do not flash the SU in recovery if it asks if you want to. It will cause you to lose root, if the ROM you are using already has a patched kernel for root.
Hi guys,
will this method work also with build number 4.16.401.10?? My Phone is also rooted, unlocked, s-on and at time running Revolution HD 43.0.
Is it in enough to Boot in recovery (TWRP) and do a Clean install? Or will i have problems with my root Access? Thank u very much!

finding the right RUU

Hi,
second try. First post didn't go through... good thing I didn't save what I typed.
I'm trying to update my firmware, I've read somewhere that a RUU is the easiest way to do so. The one I found "somewhere" doesn't go through with the update proses. It spits out error 155, bootloader is relocked hboot version is 3.16.000 and I'm S-on (not that I was able to change that).
I'm loosing my patience and I'm about to throw the phone in the trash. I've some one can point me to a RUU that work with it I'd be in your debt. The carrier is O2 Germany BTW.
thanks and happy new year.
Even though I can guess which RUU that you might need .. is best to post
fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no. to confirm it
If it is really a O2, I'll link you the RUU

Yeah .. not to post them online.
Here is your RUU - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555499
This will update your device directly to lollipop 4.20.206.1
then after check for software update, I believe there will be a few more OTAs

Thanks for the quick response. I've started the download, but slow internet means it'll take about 45min I'll report back once I'm done.
I realized I haven't really said anything about my intentions, I did that the first time I wrote the post which wasn't posted because my session in the forum got kicked or something.
I wanted to update CM to CM12 and I've managed to flash a stock ROM with lollipop but wifi won't work. So my main concern was updating the firmware so that I can flash CM12. This would enable me to do so?
thanks again.
Restore a stock ROM, you can't use lollipop. Wifi won't work because you have hboot 3.16.0000
You only can restore 1.54.206.10 stock ROM and its stock recovery then do all OTAs up to lollipop then only it work for wifi and other thing.
Using a RUU will remove everything on your device including internal storage (so make backup) then it will update everything including firmware to lollipop. So it is faster compare the nandroid backup method. You have less OTA to do.
Got to rest now .. already in bed .. its 4 AM here .. I'll check your progress tomorrow .. good luck

When you asked for RUU I expect you know all the requirements to run RUU ...
Your problem is related to PC/USB to device connection problem ...
You need to relock bootloader before you run RUU because your device is S-On
(I believe you did that as stated on post #1)
and you need a Windows PC with USB2.0 and latest HTC USB driver installed.
If you're not sure about HTC USB driver - download HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
install then after uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave the HTC USB driver

You need htc_fastboot.exe to install the RUU zip.
Follow the steps as explained here but using your own RUU zip (skip that no.1) -

Thank a lot bro please help me out of a new problem, ur method worked completely fine . I successfully switched from custom to stock rom and then installed the updates available. Now i wanted to root so
I unlocked bootloader using htc dev
Started the phone and all the apps optimized which took around30-40 mins
Now i shifted to bootloader installed twrp then installed supersu which i had already put in extsd
Phone didnt started for an hour stuck on htc screen
Used adb reboot bootloader and repeated everything all again right from fastboot oem lock doing ruu and all still it is same
It works all very fine before installing supersu after that all chaos dont know what to do

M8 only boots into fastboot

Hi guys, I need help bringing my phone back to life. I tried to return my phone back to stock by running a RUU. But now I've learnt (the hard way) it was the wrong RUU and now I can only boot into bootloader. There is no recovery I can boot into. This is the getvar:

I tried to find the correct HBOOT and CID version RUU but to no avail. I've tried another RUU for 0P6B but I think it was MID 0P6B1000 while mine is 0P6B3000. And most other solutions involve have S-OFF which mine isn't. I'm not sure what else I can do. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I think you want the RUU for 4.18.708.12, if such RUU exists. I don't know if it exists or not, but this at least give you a starting point to look (seems like you were somewhat guessing before).

Don't think 4.18.708.12 RUU exists.
If your bootloader is unlocked ... you can install TWRP 2.8.7.0 then restore 4.18.708.12 stock non-rooted backup and install 4.18.708.12 stock recovery.img then do OTA to Marshmallow 6.16.708.1

#4 is correct
boot into fastboot means that ur system got some problems
or even isnt exist
restore a TWRP backup or flash a stock rom will help

I agree, if there is no RUU for the version, than the way forward is to restore a stock TWRP backup. Unlocked bootloader is required.
