Hi guys.
So i purchased a used M8 from ozmobiles.com and when it came it had some kind of chinese os and a weird recovery on it as well
so i decided to flash with android revolution
these were my steps
unlocked phone using complete guide to flashing and htc dev site
flashed twrp custom recovery
flashed android revolution using twrp
edit: i also made sure to check the md5 checksum on all the files downloaded
according to the logs everything was succesful however when i rebooted i just get stuck in a loop into fastboot
ill type out what the fastboot screen says if its helpful
software status: modified
unlocked

what have i done wrong?
do i possible have a fake m8?
i figured the htc dev site would have picked up on that during the unlock process....
It's not fake M8 but you have a different variant M8_TL which is good only in China.
ROMs here are for M8_UL and they don't work on M8_TL

Okay.
So what do I do next? I read somewhere about being able to change to the europeon version of hboot + fastboot so I can use your roms but i have to S-OFF
any quick guides on this process?
I don't know much about M8_TL and if I am not wrong, it is not possible to change a M8_TL to M8_UL. We only can change variants/regions between M8_UL.
I've heard Soul 2.0 can help me out..? It's a chinese ROM devolped for the M8_tl that has google play services but its pretty hard to locate, if anyone here has heard of it...?

Ok just noticed the following in fastboot screen:
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 3.16.0.0000
RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO ?
OpenDSP-INVALID_VER_INFO ?
OS 1.54.401.5

The phone is working fine but something is not right? Did OTA 1.54.401.5 update with stock recovey couple days ago went ok so wonder if this update is the cause of this? Any idea guys?

Ok I will answer my own question, after doing some research on this issue in various blogs and forums including xda, this is a common issue, some say when you apply the OTA 1.54.401.5 will bring this missing info on fastboot screen which is what happened in my case.
Anyhow nothing to worry about the phone is fine everything works, it's just for some reason the version info is not displayed. The only way to resolve this is to flash official HTC RUU 1.54.401.5 but that's currently not available.
Hmm mine says the same except the line for OS reads:
OS-
In other words, no "1.54.401.5". Looking in About > Software version, it says 1.54.651.8, but that doesn't show in the fastboot screen either.

What recovery are you using?
This may or may not be related but I had the same issue when running TWRP. I changed to Philz and the problem went away. I tried this four times with the same result.
Phone was working fine just not showing OS in fastboot
TWRP 2.7.0.5. Don't know if it's related or not...
Sent from my 831C using xda app-developers app
Same issue here.
Nothing to complain about on functionality though.
Waiting for S-Off to be able to update firmware...(I'm one of those who get the Whelp message in firewater)
Another one here. =/ Guess we all have to wait then.
Definitely related to TWRP. Don't know if latest version solves this though...

Well maybe. I upgraded to 2.7.1.0 and now the OS reads 2.16.651.4 (I installed the latest modded firmware as well).
Totally stock here. Have same issue so no fault of twrp
Sent from my HTC_M8
i also had this issue and tried various recoverys to no avail , however i recently wanted to s-off which was not possible with firewater so i used sunshine. To do this i returned to stock first , upon returning to stock all was fine again and i no longer had radio-invalid_ver_info etc
the same for me here ... no Radio, OpenDSP or OS Version.
TWRP 2.7.0.10 flashed ...
Using ARHD 10.2 ROM
But no matter which ROM I install I always need to turn airplane mode on and off to get a carrier signal after reboot ... anyone else experience this issue?
as i posted above , you should try flashing back to stock to correct the version info issue. Since flashing back to stock i have s-off latest firmware installed and custom rom and version info now displays correctly
Invalid_ver_info
My phone (HTC One Mini 2) displays INVALID_VER_INFO for RADIO and OpenDSP, too. But I found out that, when i boot into bootloader with no SD-card inserted, it says RADIO-1.101.1102.17.0506 and OpenDSP-v28.2.2.00546.0331. As soon as I boot into bootloader with SD-card inserted, INVALID_VER_INFO comes back.
I noticed this bug only after I had replaced the recovery with TWRP 2.7. So I can't tell exactly if this bug happened by updating OTA or by installing TWRP 2.7.
Besides that my phone is running perfectly, so there's no need to worry about it.
I need help!!
I have a Sprint harman/kardon edition. In the bootloader it says the following when sdcard is inside

As I have simunlocked the device for GSM use, It does connects to the carrier but does not start mobile data services. Under selling when I try to click on tab to "ON" . Immediately it says "Disconnected because service is unavailable"
I've already tried going back to stock by renaming harman specified ruu as 0P6BIMG.zip and flshing it through sdcard, it does makes the device go stock but doesnt seem to fix the above mentioned problem.
I would like to point out, it was working fine before I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 and a custom rom. I noticed that mobile data was not working in that custom rom, so I decided to back stock and now I am stock but mobile data doesn't work along with above mentioned status.
Please help.
Thanks
Hi, I am in dire need of help right now. I recently purchased a HTC One M8 from china (Dual sim) and wanted to convert it to either the international version (with htc sense) or the GPE.
However, all the custom ROMs I have tried don't seem to be working. My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, but it is still S-On. I'm not ready to pay $25 for sunshine since I'm not confident that it will help my situation.
Currently my phone has no operating system according to the bootloader, and I have been unable to boot into any custom ROMs I have installed.
Being the dual sim version, there is next to no stock or custom roms to be found on xda developers, so now all I want is to revert it back to its stock rom. (I stupidly forgot to back things up before flashing custom recovery and custom roms.)
Can anybody out there help me find the file(s) I need? I don't care if I have to live with no google apps, but if someone could help me out there too that would be awesome
Not sure if this info will be useful, but my bootloader says:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

My Phone's CID is HTCCN703, and I have TWRP v2.7.1.0 installed, since the newer versions didn't work.
I'm relatively a newbie - I've done this rooting/flashing custom rom stuff on 3 or 4 phones before but never ran into any trouble, so help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and I apologise if I'm posting this in the wrong place, or if someone has asked the same/similar question before. If that's the case please direct me there
UPDATE: So after a little further research I've decided to just restore it using an RUU, but I need help finding the correct one to use with my device. Thanks! Feel free to ask for any additional info you need to find the right RUU
You could try the new maximus hd 3 from llabtoofer
So I've been stuck on Android version 4.4.3 because I converted from stock Sense to the GPE without creating any form of backups.
I'm completely new to the Android system so I have zero background on these kind of things... I've tried looking around for guides so I don't make unnecessary posts but I get hesitant to follow through with them because I'm not sure if my system details will match with other people's.
To make it short, I want to return back to the legitimate stock sense or the latest GPE version for the HTC One M8. Be it just some guidance on where to look or a full on guide, I will greatly appreciate some help.
Some information about my phone, I got this phone from Wind Mobile( A Canadian provider) and my bootloader currently reads:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***

simple
first change your CID to super CID don't ask me (just google it)
second install MS C++ 2005-2010 32bit, I will say it again 32BIT
and http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/ download this RUU
and open it in windows connect the phone (power it up to 30%) then flash it
NOTEs:************************************
1-it might not flash just because of the rom (tell me if it did not work)
2-there might be no cellular signals (tell me).

Install twrp recovery and then look for a twrp backup for your phone online and restore.
Similar issue here.
Has anyone come across - or - can anyone post a TWRP backup of their stock ROM for the Taiwan (TW) version of the D820u???
Preferrably lollipop Rom but KitKat would also be welcome.
Hours of searching through google I was only able to find the Indian version online...

please help
Hi,
I have an M8 that I bought as a project to mess around with, bootloader was already unlocked, but was still S ON, It was already running a ROM that wasn't stock, but no big deal, went to flash Viper ROM and would only boot back into the bootloader - no splash screen.. I then tried the Android revolution HD with the same problem. I'm using the latest TWRP and doing the wipes before flashing the rom
CID is HTCCN701
MID is OP6B5000
Main is 4.29.1400.6
HBoot is 3.19.0.0000
Obviously a Chinese phone, so I S OFFed last night hoping that that was somehow stopping the flash.
My next step i'm thinking is to change the CID and MID and flash a corresponding firmware (Australian region) but am concerned if these rom flashes don't take then the firmware won't either.
just as a side note, flashed the M7 ARHD by accident and phone rebooted to splash screen and got stuck in a bootloop, but didn't boot straight to the bootloader, but when I flashed the correct version, booted straight to bootloader.
Did post this in a general Q&A, and got back recommendation that I super cid which I have done. Also flash WWE firmware, but I've still got reservations as I can't flash any other Rom at the moment, even though twrp says the flash is successful. I don't want to flash firmware and have it die completely if that doesn't take.
Does anyone have any advice?

And obviously you wasted the money that you spent to S-Off.
Something that I always see .. people paid money for S-Off but don't know what to do with it or why he needs it.
You can never change a phone variant with S-Off.
Your device is M8_TL ... you can't convert it to M8_UL or M8_UHL even with S-Off.
Same principle as you can't convert a Sprint device to Int'l GSM -
you can't convert a M8_WHL to M8_TL or M8_UL or M8_UHL or M8_WLV or M8_UL_CA
same goes
you can't convert a M8_TL (your device variant) to M8_WHL or M8_UL or M8_UHL or M8_WLV or M8_UL_CA
To install a custom ROM on your M8_TL .. you need to know whether the ROM support M8_TL or not. I don't personally see any of them ... most common is a ROM with support for M8_UL, M8_UHL, M8_WHL and M8_WLV in one zip.
Another note ... I don't advise to install any M8_UL firmware on your M8_TL .. you'll either totally brick the device or you'll brick the radio.
The best for you is google for your software version RUU .. mostly on Chinese site they have the RUU for this device.
Thanks for the advice, Will leave it as it is, it is running a custom Rom at the moment and is in working order.

Hello.
Not very knowledgeable here, so pardon my somewhat silly questions. I just bought 3 HTC M8 devices, with a view to upgrading to Marshmallow. They're for my mum and 2 younger siblings. I discovered I had the M8_UL, M8_TL and M8Q_UL.
I've been able to upgrade the M8Q_UL and M8_UL to marshmallow, the M8_TL has been the x factor. Can you please point me in the right direction?
I've done tons of research - that's how I was able to upgrade the other 2 - but there's very limited information on the M8_TL.
CID -11111111
HBOOT-3.19
RADIO-1.29.2145000121.12G
OS-6.12.401.4 (I did a firmware update before I found your post about not being able to convert the device, sorry)
Thanks.
I eventually worked out the TL variant is a Chinese version, unfortunately there was limited stuff available at the time I originally set about trying to flash roms, in the end, I left it with the custom rom it came with, as there was no others available, and no firmware updates, I wouldn't bother trying to do anything with it, but if you're planning to use, I'd root it and uninstall any suspicious app that's not needed (bloatware) as I didn't fully trust some of the Chinese apps not to pass data back, but if you've already updated firmware with an incompatible one, the phone may not work unless you put the original one back on.

I believe there are a lot of information on Chinese forum but not on others.
If you changed MID for M8_TL, then you need to change it back to original MID. If never change, then usually flashing RUU will work on SuperCID (if not, need to change CID too).
You can try the Marshmallow RUU 6.20.1400.1 to update your M8_TL
(only if your original firmware is x.xx.1400.x)
Download the RUU here - https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=1153
