wi-fi not working on M8

Hello,
I want to buy a second hand HTC M8 and it has a issue with wi-fi.. it won't turn on or connect to wi-fi. from the screen shots i see that it has network (3g network). the guy selling the m8 says that a friend of his tried to put a custom rom on the phone and after that the wifi stopped working. here are the printscreens send by him. could you tell me if i can repair it myself or it is the wi-fi chip damaged.

Wifi doesn't work because the ROM is 4.4.4 but device is still 4.4.2
(can see this from the baseband version)
You can easily fix this by put in correct ROM version

can it be done without s-off? with a ruu.exe?

This s the bootloader

No need S-Off.

You better remove the 3rd pic where it shows the IMEI no. & Serial No. Those are sensitive data.
Anyway ... checked your IMEI, it is a EU version, so there is a RUU available which you can directly update it to the latest Lollipop version 4.16.401.10

thanks. will remove those pictures. i will but it tonight.

Is it for a good price due to WiFi not working? If so, the devil on my right shoulder says it serves them right for modding the phone without doing the proper research! Or researching properly to (easily) fix the problem, for that matter.

the price is ok. my old htc m7 + 100 euro

Help me to get it stock please !!

Remove serial no. in your post
I'll write simple guide on how to get back on stock and update to the latest lollipop when I'm home in next 3 - 4 hrs (if no one attend to this yet)

i see that the phone has Vodap001 CID but the soft on it (rooted one) is for the HTC_00x CID.. problem? i have got a stock backup, unzipped it, putted in TWRP backup folder, now i restore it and after that flash the stock recovery?? is that all?

It's a Vodafone UK M8, but still easy restored to stock
To be honest, I'd get it back to 1.54.161.x using the backups @ckpv5 will post, S-OFF with Sunshine and then convert it to the unbranded handset using the 4.16.401.10 RUU (using the guide in my signature)

skirmish please .. one m7 i could do it with no problem but this guy kills me

Can't write proper guide as I'm driving....
Follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59034701&postcount=4
But don't use that 3.29.161.9, you need to restore 1.54.161.10 and its recovery then proceed multiple OTA up to lollipop 4.19.161.2
You can get the needed files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58606328&postcount=4278
Note : if you have plan to S-Off your device, do it after restore 1.54.161.10
if you want to keep it S-On, just proceed OTA. Later you can install any custom lollipop ROM if you want to

you could follow my guide on the viperone thread , steps 1 to 6 would get you onto stock android lollipop with a stock recovery , just do a full setup at step 6 , my guide proceeds past this point to then install a custom recovery and a custom rom but if you stop at step 6 after setting up the phone you will be unbranded stock
hope this helps

[Q] HTC One m8 fingerprint update error

Helllo there!
I'm making a new thread because I couldn't find anyone with the exact same problem and don't want to brick my phone or such.

You should post your getvar all (deleting your imei number and S./N ) there is a post here but it is in german with the same problem which points to an incorrect recovery!

Being rooted or not has no bearing on OTA update.
Also, it seems that you are trying to tell the OP to root (not completely clear, with the 2 word post), when he clearly states he is already rooted.

Getvar info added!
By the way, the other guy had a different problem.
Has anyone got an idea of whats wrong?

Wrong stock recovery image.
OTA needs stock recovery 3.28.401.9 (389838.9) or 4.16.401.10 (448934.10)
but you installed 3.28.401.6 (389838.6)
Get the right recovery image, OTA will proceed.

Okay thank you so far!
But now it comes up with a different error; It says "/system/xbin/nc has unexpected contents".
Let me tell you the whole story:
Some time ago i installed busybox, xposed and xprivacy (and luckypatcher) and used it normaly.
Then the Lollipop update came around and since it wasnt working (giving out the unexpected contend error) i thought it would be a good idea to just do a factory reset.
It didnt work afterwards either, so i went here to ask what the problem was, and i was told it was because of xposed.
However, xposed wasn't installed anymore (the app), and (i think) the newer versions installed it somewhere else, so installing and then uninstalling (the button in the app) it didnt delete the old directory. (Btw. in an last attempt i tried installing the stick recovery and got the wrong one apparently)
So yeah, i have no idea on how to fix this problem, but i would be okay with having to reset my phone.

That's expected
There are a few methods to solve your problem.
The easiest one is RUU it back to stock.
Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
You need to relock bootloader and also make a backup of your internal storage files/pic/music or whatever you like to keep.
The RUU will update your device to the latest

You don't have S-Off - that's why you need to relock bootloader
That's the only difference - read the thread thoroughly.
First step - relock bootloader with command fastboot oem lock
then follow the step 3 onwards
Also note you need to use htc_fastboot.exe not the usual fastboot.exe
Anything you need to ask, you can ask there. I believe @EddyOS will gladly help you

But .. this is what you can do to fix your problem ...
Check for OTA as usual, download OTA then select install later.
Connect your device to PC then copy the OTA zip from internal storage\download folder to PC
Open the OTA zip with 7-zip, you'll see firmware.zip. Open firmware.zip and extract out recovery.img <--- this is the one that you need.
Boot your device to bootloader
Fastboot flash this extracted recovery.img
Reboot, check for OTA again, this time select install now
Done

I'm sorry for posting here but i did it and it's not working when i'm flashing the recovery i tooked it from the OTA it's give me error when flashing it the update is lollipop and i'm on kitkat 4.4.4

Deleted Teamwin Recovery without having stock recovery again-Bootloop HTC One M8

Hey everyone
The thing is that I was trying to return my phone to stock recovery to update my phone to Marshmallow and unroot it and I read this in another forum:"Boot your phone to TWRP recovery mode by turn off your phone then presses Vol up + Power to boot into bootloader then choose RECOVERY. There is a more simple way, by using “adb reboot recovery”.
Once came into TWRP main menu, now tap Mount -> Mount system then taps Home.
Tap Advanced -> File Manager, browse to “/system/xbin” folder. From there delete su, daemonsu or busybox if it exists. Also browse to “/system/app” the get rid of Superuser.apk."
So I followed these instructions and then when I rebooted the phone,it got stuck in bootloop. I can't turn it off now or get into the bootloader.
Android-HTC One M8
What can I do to have my phone again in stock recovery?
Thanks in advance

First of all if you rooted the rom this ain't going to work. You need a never rooted stock rom + recovery.
Hold power + volume up and switch to volume down when the screen turns black (do not let go of the power button) then you are in the BL. From there you go to the custom TWRP recovery.
Then you have to find a pure stock backup or a RUU that matches your OS/firmware number (if you haven't made one yourself), restore it and flash the stock recovery and you are done.

You can't run the dev edition RUU at all as you are S-ON and have a different firmware. If you have the 709 RUU then try that indeed. But backup what you need because a RUU deletes EVERYTHING !

No S-OFF is NOT needed. just get the RUU with that version number indeed if it's even available. Then run it with a RELOCKED bootloader.

First question is, are you on stock ROM or not (unlocked/relocked/all stock ?!) ?
Please tell us what you did before and how you did the OTA or even give some more info at all

If you didn't do anything to the phone, i would say the best idea would be to send it back for repair if you still have warranty on it... (any other way of fixing it by yourself would maybe void your warranty)

Warranty is over and i am in a remote town in uae, so sending to repair is the last option.
where can i get stock rom or RUU for my phone version.

ok read trough here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/guide-restore-european-htc-one-m8-to-t3072235
Best would be if you read every page because the guy at the last page hast the same CID like you (could be helpfull infos for you)
But BEFORE you start trying this method (or the method mentioned at the end with nandriod backups) you first have to unlock your bootloader (wich voids your warranty)

As you mentioned your warranty is over and you don't need to send your phone for repair.
What you need to do :
1. unlock bootloader thru http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
2. install TWRP 2.8.7.0
3. restore Marshmallow 6.14.707.1 non-rooted backup
4. don't accept root offered by TWRP
5. install stock 6.14.707.1 recovery.img (optional)
6. reboot & done.
All files & How-To, see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
This will get you back to your stock ROM
Or you can unlock bootloader, install TWRP and install any custom ROM that you like to try.

I did the following instead already:
1. unlock bootloader thru http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
2. install TWRP 2.8.7.0
3. Root using TWRP
4. ?
Can u ley me know the next step now. Can i use the twrp backup from the below post now ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60211240&postcount=3
Thanks for your simple and step by step process.
You guys rock.

Yes ... 6.14.707.1 backup on post #3 & 6.14.707.1 stock recovery on post #4
For all the steps, read post #1 ... I don't want to repeat them here.

hey all, great to see this post and i have exact identical situation here and want to try the step here to fix my M8. rashmixda, do you successfully revive your m8?
p/s: sorry that i edit the post twice to correct the name i ask and a typo. realize i asking wrong person after i saw the backup file name after ckpv5. thanks for your backup and it is my life saver for my M8.

Help: Cannot turn on wifi/bluetooth. Phone no longer have cellular signal.
Hi ckpv5,
I followed this guide and I was somehow able to revive my phone. Before, it no longer boots --it goes straight to the bootloader after the HTC logo. Unfortunately, my wifi, bluetooth, and cellular signal issues have remained unresolved -- I still can't turn on wifi and bluetooth and I still don't have cellular signal) . Before my phone went into bootloop, I already had these issues and they have persisted until now.
Is there a chance that these are just due to a software/firmware issue? And if so, please advise on what to do to resolve these issues. Thanks in advance for your help. My phone is not supported in my country. In fact, it was returned to me by the authorized service center unrepaired after a month of being with them.

I don't know whether the problem is hardware issue. Based on your info, it looks like hardware problem.
What you can try is restore one version lower 4.19.707.4 backup and install 4.19.707.4 stock recovery then do OTA again to 6.14.707.1. When doing this, it will reinstall the firmware too and see whether this will fix your problem.

Hi ckpv5,
Thanks a lot. I am now downloading the files.
I'll be probably be doing the OTA update manually since I cannot turn wifi on on my phone. Can I use the 6.14.707.1_ckpv5.zip file that I previously downloaded? Or probably I have to root my phone so that I can share my pc's internet to it through reverse tethering. Will rooting not cause issues during OTA updates. Thanks...

As I wrote above, you need to restore 4.19.707.4 and its stock recovery. Don't use 6.14.707.1 and don't root.
After you restore 4.19.707.4 you can connect to PC and use Internet Pass-Through feature to check and download OTA .. don't root because OTA will fail on a rooted ROM. We expect the OTA from 4.19.707.4 to 6.14.707.1 will fix your problem. If it does not fix it, then it is hardware problem.
Note : you can't manually install OTA on a S-On device

Hi ckpv5,
Thanks a lot for your help. My phone is now working fine after the OTA update from 4.19.707.4 to 6.14.707.1.

ckpv5, you had just save me once again. my problem already posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-m8-developed-random-reboot-failed-t3345745 but cant really fixed because im not exactly know where goes wrong and how to fix. Anyway, i just try to restore version 4.19.707.1 with recovery and let it upgrade with OTA as this is 2nd way to restore my M8 with latest OS. now, quite confirmed it fixed and no more random reboot for pass 5 hours. usually reboot happened 3 to 4 times in an hour. the detail about finding the cause will be posted on my thread.
thanks again for valuable help.

OTA's not working.

I'm sure a a post like this have came up a million times but I can't find any. Recently I have just fully unrooted my phone and set it back to stock recovery and everything. So as I was setting up the basically factory phone I went to install the software update for o2. And so I download the file and I think everything is good. But when I go to install it, it just restarts the phone in the fastboot mode and update s not applied, and from here I'm not sure how to get the update working. I would appriciate any help given
Thank you for your time to help.
If you need the CID and other information I will get it posted

Fully unrooted most of the time won't work for OTA.
You need a never rooted stock ROM to update.
I may have the backup that you need in my thread linked in my sig.

I used one of your backups when I was unrooting the phone, but it still doesn't seem to work? I matched the CID for the recovery and I think I got a rom from a different stock post

How can you unrooting when using my backup ? It comes stock non-rooted.
The recovery, you don't match with CID but match it with the stock backup that you restored.
Example - 3.32.206.9 stock backup, install 3.32.206.9 stock recovery
Wrong recovery, OTA will fails.
Post your fastboot getvar all result (delete serial & imei no. before posting), we'll see which one that you actually need.

With this info, you need to restore 2.22.206.6 stock backup and install 2.22.206.6 stock recovery to successfully OTA.
Then you need to do multiple OTAs : 2.22.206.6 -> 3.32.206.9 -> 4.20.206.1 -> 4.20.206.2 -> 6.13.206.5
Doing this kind of OTA, no need to relock bootloader
If you want a shortcut - install 4.20.206.2 RUU.zip
Download - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960686241
After install 4.20.206.2 RUU, you need to do only one OTA to 6.13.206.5
You can follow this guide but use the above RUU not the one in the guide - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Doing this RUU then OTA, you need to relock bootloader first and this will wipe everything in your internal storage. Make backup before you proceed.

I messed up....
I bricked my phone

What you mean that you messed up.
It's not easy to brick a S-On device ... did you follow instructions accordingly.
Explain what you did to see where it is wrong.
