How can I update my bootloader?

I'm on Paranoid ROM (last).
Bootloader 3.16.
I would like 3.19 or .18 in order to use Android 5.0 (CM 12).

What exact variant do you have and have you achieved S-OFF yet ?

I have the 3.16 bootloader, and I have no idea of S-OFF, so i guess I'm S-ON .

Don't guess. Boot into bootloader, and it will say either s-on or s-off near the top.
By variant, jball is asking what carrier version or CID.
Flash the proper firmware package for your CID, if its in the collection:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
Or alternately return to stock ROM and stock recovery, than official OTA to update to hboot 3.17 then 3.19.

I'm having the same issue as the OP. Trying to get to Lollipop from the latest Paranoid Android ROM. Here's the output of fastboot getvar all in the spoiler. Can you please tell me exactly what to do, in what order, and what specific files to flash in order to get my phone updated to a 5.0 ROM? I've been trying to follow this post, but something's just not clicking for me. I've already bricked my phone to the point where flashing the RUU from HTCDev was the only thing that'd save it - two separate times. Believe I am s-off, with TWRP 2.7.0.1 installed, but on the AT&T Stock ROM 1.58.502.1. Checked for OTAs, and I'm apparently up to date...

How does anyone not know if they are S-OFF/S-ON ?
Did you buy your phone second hand ?
Do you know how to boot into hboot/bootlooader mode witch will inform you if your S-OFF or S-ON
Have you tried an up to date twrp cause the one your on is very old.
At&t is furthest from receiving OTA's in my opinion

His fastboot getvar all output clearly states SECURITY - OFF ...... so he has an S-OFF device.

Because I wasn't sure if something I did yesterday managed to undo my s-off status. First HTC device, and I went pretty far in restoring to stock

Thread cleaned.

I would suggest the following thread, which has explicit step-by-step instruction on how to update firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
"3.28.1540 firmware only" file is what you want.

[Q] AT&T M8. Worst case scenario, basically. Phone recoverable?

****ed up and didn't read things properly. I was trying to revert my phone to stock with an HTC RUU, that didn't work, and in haste and anger I set S-ON. On a device running CyanogenMod.
The threads I found on the subject weren't entirely helpful, so I'm here now, hoping I don't have to explain to HTC why I'm dumb. My device boots immediately to fastboot:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***

Delete your IMEI and serial number. Those are personal data, which should never be posted on open forums.
Which RUU? Only an AT&T RUU will work unless you modify MID/CID by s-off.

Thanks, I'll make sure to edit those out if I post again. A mod did that this time, hooray.
It was an AT&T RUU. At one point, I installed a stock GPE ROM and might have changed my MID, but don't quite remember. I remember that I changed my CID, but changed it back for the AT&T RUU. Judging by this thread, my MID is an "AT&T, unlocked, developer ID", so I guess it'll work.
If it helps, the specific RUU I used was named RUU_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_ATT_SECURITY_Cingular_US_1.58.502.1_Radio_1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_368350_signed_2. I downloaded it from HTC.

That RUU will fail, since it corresponds to hboot 3.16; and with s-on you can't run an RUU with a lower number hboot than is installed on the phone (3.18 in your case). Any other RUU except that one should work. You can find the other RUUs on my AT&T specific Index thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

Bad news first: the only RUU in that thread (the 4.4.4 one from HTC) that I could have used didn't work and gave me an unknown error (155). The other executable was the one I was already using and all the others require a microSD card, which I don't own.
Good news instead: This was fixed by... unlocking my bootloader again. Once I did that, my phone booted into CWM which was still installed and then booted into Cyanogenmod which was still there due to all the failed RUUs not doing anything. Hooray!
Thanks for the help, redpoint.

Actually, you discovered an error in my Index thread, as the "Official" 4.4.3 RUU link should go here:

Instead of incorrectly sending you to the "bootable" RUU.
Not sure why the 4.4.4 RUU is giving your error 155 (wrong image).

You actually never mentioned what the original issue with CWM was. Did it not boot?
I think relocking the bootloader wipes the phone. So maybe that was all that was needed to get CWM to boot.

[Q] Help needed! Red exclamation mark

I have Htc one m8 unlocked bootloader 3.19, was rooted but doesn't seem to be anymore. firmware is 4.16.401.10, supercid (was roger001). I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, I tried to flash a RUU after flashing the firmware first and i get an error 32-header error. Phone just reboots onto white HTC screen then gives me the red exclamation mark. Booting into recovery gives red exclamation mark. Not sure what else I can try, any suggestioins would be greatly appreciated. (note: tried to flash the RUU here I could be way off but I am stuck.)
Anyone have any assistance? I tried changed the mid so I could flash a RUU but still got the 32-header error. There has to be a simpler way to do this, I just want to get back to stock.

Are you s-on or s-off? Do adb getvar all and post the output (delete your IMEI and serial number, as these are personal data).
With the Rogers variant, you can't flash the Euro RUU unless you change the MID (s-off required).
Also, you need to relock the bootloader to run the RUU if you are s-on. But that doesn't matter as the RUU will fail MID check, anyway.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish by running the RUU?

Would flashing a recovery .img , for example >recovery_4.16.401.10.img< allow me to return to stock??

Yes, that is incorrect. CID and MID need to match what the RUU is looking for. SuperCID will pass the CID check. But the MID check will still fail if you try to run the Euro RUU (MID = 06PB10000) on a Rogers version M8 (MID = 06PB16000).
Also, are you actually using the phone on Rogers' network? If so, I do not think that returning to stock Euro WWE version by RUU is what you want. From this webpage, it looks like Rogers uses Bands 4,7, and 17 for LTE. The Euro RUU will install a full stock image, including radio firmware, and according to these specs, the Euro version (EMEA) is missing 2 of the 3 bands (Bands 4 and 17) needed for LTE to work on Rogers network.

That would just be the actual stock recovery program that installs of OTA updates, etc.
Its not the actual stock OS or firmware, if that is what you are thinking.
The red exclamation indicates you are already on a stock recovery. Flashing this won't help you at all.

Yeah haha I figured that out right after posting. Thanks though. I re-flashed TWRP now and gonna try restoring from a nandrod backup i found then flash the matching firmware. see how that goes. The similiar names is what throws me off sometimes, so many different recoverys n sh*t lol

I was tryign to use a sixaxis controller to play games but kept getting and error about 'position executable variables' when loading the sixaxis app so i downloaded something called 'bypass pie' and flashed it. Clearly i should have backed up first. It was just inpatient, but it unrooted my phone and stuff so i tried to restore from a backuop like 2 weeks ago and it was corrupt so it messed things up

my htc one_M8 didnot recived lollipop update ! ! ! help pleas.

Hi there I am new to HTC this is my firs HTC phone. I have HTC one m8 device with android 4.4.4 kit Kat and I want to update it to android 5 lollipop . when I go to settings and checking for updates it says (your phone is up to date there are no updates available for your phone ) I also tried HTC sync manger but with no luck so far .
So why there is no updates for my phone ?? ( I am not rooted or unlocked the boot loader)
Any way to download the Rom and install it via pc ?? (Program like Odin To install roms to htc ).
I am sorry for the bad English language because it's not my nature language .

Post the results of fastboot getvar all Delete the serial# and IMEI from the output. That is private information.
There may be an RUU that you could run to update, and your getvar will give the information that is needed to determine that.

I'm not sure that Lollipop is even available for the Middle East/Egyptian model. Your best bet would be to spend $25 for Sunshine S-Off, convert to superCID, and update with WWE/International firmware. You could also try to change your MID to 0P6B10000 and update that way, but there is a very real risk of bricking if you do that.
---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------
You could also try this. No guarantees that it will work, but it might (your CID is listed as compatible, but the MID makes me wonder). You won't brick, you will just get error ouputs if it doesn't
Download this RUU.zip
Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero, not the letter) and place it onto the root of your extSD.
Boot into bootloader and select hboot if it doesn't do that automatically.
Follow the prompts (vol up to flash, power button to reboot)
That's it.
After you are done make sure to delete the renamed file from your SD card, otherwise every time you boot to bootloader it will try tro update again.
Good luck!

Your radio version is the same as mine, and I'm on WWE so there is nothing to worry about there. You won't receive OTA updates MID. You can still update via RUU when the next version comes out, or you can get S-Off and just flash the firmware. I should have already let you know; and I am sorry that I forgot to mention it; but the RUU will wipe your phone so make sure you backup everything that is important to you. Make a backup to your extSD. That won't get wiped.

Make a backup to your extSD. That won't get wiped.

Hi. I don't mean to hijack this post or whatever but I have the same problem with the same MID and CID. I bought the phone from Riyadh and I am not receiving any OTA. I tried that RUU and it failed giving me the following error:
Code:
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Device halted due to Large Image update fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
EDIT: I did get the Stagefright fix by OTA if that helps somehow.

bro its failed and i got the same error as mentioned above . my device boot normal.thank you.

I hava the same problem. The Ruu you just provided was from the htc official rom downloads page right?
And, will this model effect the custom roms to be flashed?like would i be able to flash arhd on it (the same mid as OP and unlocked) without bricking it?
I thought samsung's variantd were insane but htc is driving me nuts ?

bro i am new to htc so i donot know much about htc and installing roms because i switched from samsung to htc . i think that RUU was official from htc but its failed to install on my htc one m8 because my device is made for middle east .i donot know if you can install it on your device or install custom roms on it .

It's a zip made from the official RUU.
It won't affect which ROMs you can flash.
If you have the same model as the OP, it won't work. You will need to get S-Off and change your MID first.

I see you issue solved itself. But just FYI, the above RUU would not have worked on your phone. You can't just run any RUU, it needs to match your carrier ID (CID) and model ID (MID). You can change CID and MID, but only with s-off.

i want 3.36.401.4 stock recovery my phone is rooted and i have the ota update so my phone is not updating

M8 Bricked while updating to Marshmallow.

Hi,
The other day i've tried to update my M8 to marshmallow via OTA and my device get bricked . . .
It is stucked on Android Recovery, and have tried everything. Ruu's, factory reset . . . everything. Ruu always gives me back error 155.
Don't know what else to do. It is new, but I think the people that sold it to me have changed things like CID and it have S-OFF.

I am having the same problem!! I installed the official update via the system update, installed then at the end it told me there is a problem with the OTA thing and that is it. Since then my device is bricked and I'm in between the recovery menu and the bootloader.
I don't wanna root my device and didn't try it. This sucks. I wish I can rollback this mess to Lollipop.

I had a similar issue, bricked my HTC ONE M8 by updating through OTA.
But I got it fixed by flashing RUU through htc_fastboot.exe, it took a while but was effective.
In your case, if you need to find your right CID, first get your mid number and check if you can find a right CID to your MID, then write it through fastboot. Hope it can help you.
If you will need a detailed how to, let me know

My CID is 11111111, it says so in the bootloader. Can you provide links on where to get the RUU and the flashing app? Thanks
The bootloader says LOCKED yet my device is the international variant. Is it related or does it mean that my bootloader is locked?

Hey, I've made a simple research and found that your serial number belongs to HTC ONE M8 Taiwan version, so first you need to change your MID to 0P6B150 (optional but strongly advised for applaying offical updates) and then the CID to CHT__601 (Taiwan).
Only after this you need to find the right RUU and flash it, or use RUU.zip and flash it through htc_fastboot.exe
Hope it will be helpfull

Send me your detailed phone information as it was shown in the first post of the thread so I can tell you how to change you CID and other identification numbers that in the end will let you apply the update
Having the original CID is very important, cuz your bootloader was relocked? otherwise they could've not changed you CID/
Check your serial information go to HTC Warranty Check - Lookup
this tell you right region information of your phone so you can easily find right CID and MID numbers of your phone

Can you walk me through it? When I connect my device to my laptop, it shows nothing. the HTC sync app fails to detect my phone as well.

1 - see the links in the end of #7 post? Go there and first get the drivers and adb-fastboot tools
once you get try command fastboot getvar all this will show you the detailed information of your device
2 - once done get HTC ONE M8 all in one tool kit, it would be easier for you to use instead typing commands all the time
3 - unlock your bootloader by following the instructions on the program listed above
4 - search for right CID number of your phone and write it by using command fastboot oem writecid (YOUR CID)
5 - relock bootloader
6 - flash the right RUU (check if it is right for your original new CID)
Keep in mind that I've done this on my own devices, and I don't take any responsibility in case if you get your device bricked

You cannot simply flash the RUU .. the first question is .. is the RUU the right one for your device ?
You have SUperCID as you mentioned above .. what about the MID ?
Is it 0P6B10000 ? If yes .. then go ahead

You can't extract/unzip an encrypted HTC RUU zip.
You never reply to my first question .. is your bootloader LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED ?
If it is UNLOCKED .. I can suggest another method .. restore a TWRP backup.
If you have installed both adb/fastboot and latest HTC USB driver (and uninstall HTC Sync Manager) I don't see a reason why it cannot work for you when it worked for the other guy (post #14)
Do you have a microSD card ? You can do it different way.

Sorry, it is RELOCKED.
I'll try to do all from 0 again. If it does not work we can UNLOCK it and try the TWRP method you say?
Yes I do have an SD card in my phone, but my PC doesn't detect it and have no SD adapter. I've heard that there's some fastboot command "push" or something like that to put the RUU on it but don't know how it works.
Thanks for your time, I'm desperate. . .

You need to unlock bootloader to go with TWRP method.
Just try again ... with a Windows PC with USB2.0 (many people report USB3.0 is a hit and miss)
Make sure the HTC Sync manager is uninstalled after you install the driver.
