Hello. So my problem starts here. I got demo phone (the phone which is in the store for the presentation). Ive found that i have to root and get custom rom for it so it will be as a normal phone. So i rooted it (hopefully) by some tutorial at youtube. Now is my phone rooted (i checked it with the root checker app) but in the bootloader mode it still says S-ON so i am scared to continoue. Plus i am lost in these roms, rooting, flashing and so on. I was trying to find somewhere here but i just cant understand what to do... (i am but dumb and scared in these things). All i want is basic ROM (android 5.0.1 or whattever). If someone could help me it would be sooo great! Thanks alot
Root and S-On are two separate thing.
You can install custom ROM - most important see what OS no. is written on bootloader.
If it is 4.xx.xxx.x then you can install 5.0.1 ROM
and also make sure you do have a M8 not M8 Eye or M8 dual SIM also make sure you have a GSM M8 or a Sprint or a Verizon & etc

Again ... remove your Serial no & Imei no from your above post.
From your fastboot getvar all .. you have an Intl EU WWE M8.
So you're good to install any 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 Sense based custom ROM. Just pick one and try. Later try all of them and see which that you prefer more.

Modding phones (unlocking the bootloader, root, flashing ROMs) is not a trivial thing. Its pretty clear to me that you lack the basic knowledge of how to do these things. I suggest you spend a couple hours (minimum) reading the various index threads, guides, etc. to gain a basic understanding of what you want to do, terms, concepts, procedures, etc.
This is the only correct way to make yourself not "lost". Asking for apps/programs to flash a ROM is absolutely the wrong way to proceed, and is almost guaranteed to lead to disaster. Even if someone were to lead you through the process, or even do it for you, simply owning a phone that is rooted and with a custom ROM, without the basic knowledge is still a terrible idea.
This isn't meant to be mean or insulting. Its for your own good. All of us here started at the exact same point, at one time. If you don't have the time or motivation to do as I suggested, its better to just return the device, and purchase a fully functioning one.
I can see that u are using Sky dragon ROM. I was reading about it a bit and it looked well so could u help me how to get it in my phone? ^^
I apriciate your help alot. But i dont understand to what exactly recovery means... I was doing "flash" or how is it called at iPhone 3G which was pretty easy u just downloaded a file and program, put the file in the program, clicked start and it was finished. (or sth like that). I am so confused by the versions of roms etc. Could u please help me more? :/ Sky dragon rom looks pretty good so if someone of u has an expiriences with it could u tell me how to install it? ive already used some recoveries to root it and i am sooo confused. I did it with this tutorial > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlAaquCRSnQ so i am at the part after this video.

This is exactly the type of "dangerous" business I'm talking about. YouTube guides spoonfeed you the steps, and shortcut any actual learning. You are now in the perfect position to screw up your phone, without a clue of what to do when that happens.
The fact you have unlocked the bootloader, installed custom recovery, and rooted and still don't know what recovery is, is a big warning that you need to slow down, and read and learn before doing anything more with the phone.
Start your learning from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694600
That thread links to some really useful guides: Everything Explained, FAQs, and Vomer's Guide (all of which are highly recommended, and mandatory reading, IMO).

Poor planing on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Seriously, everyone that doesn't want to take the time to read and learn has some excuse that they think "justifies" their behavior.
XDA has always been a wealth of information, for those willing to search and read and learn.
I won't spoonfeed you the info, for the reasons I've already stated.

If you even spent a minimal amount of time looking at the threads that have been linked for you, you would probably be able to answer that question; or at least have it narrowed down (with some questions or concerns).
As you've failed to demonstrate you've worked to increase your knowledge at all, I don't feel that great answering your questions. What I will say, is that you will want an up-to-date (most recent) version of the recovery in question.

You don't lose root. You can restore a stock nandroid backup for your cid and the stock recovery and be prepared for the OTA.

I hate how HTC handles these things... Jumping from a Nexus this is like a nightmare
So The file you suggested is just a ROM right? and the recovery has nothing to do with CIDs? So any recovery with the same version number will do?
First file is the stock ROM for your cid.
Second is the stock recovery for your CID. After you flash those 2 you will be ready to receive an OTA when your carrier release it.

Based on your post count, device history, and amount of time you've been on XDA, I find it surprising you don't know how, or can't figure out how to return to the stock ROM.
Not trying to be mean, but restoring a nandroid and stock recovery are not difficult things, basic concepts and steps, really. Maybe just take a little time to wrap your mind around the concepts, and you might feel more comfortable about them. If these things are over your head, you certainly shouldn't mess with S-off and flashing firmware.
And re-rooting after an OTA should take about 5 or 10 minutes, so I don't see much reason for concern. Just re-install custom recovery and flash SU/SuperSU or a rooted ROM.

This is my first HTC device and the stock Rom nandroid for my Cid isn't twrp compatible and cwm is doing what I already it to do. That's problem one, I have never seen such messy system to return to stock, CIDs and all this rubbish. And I swear for all these years I've never had to flash a firmware in order to flash a Rom, and heck, even pay to have full rights over my device (sunshine) I'd say HTC is the least friendly phone I've used by far when it comes to flashing custom roms

Nexus is made for easy unlocking etc.
HTC is reasonably good in this regard, IMO, having dealt with some 30 phones over 3 years for testing my apps.
HTC has bootloader unlock program. LG has nothing like that (Although allegedly considering it). I hate my G2 for that reason.
I've never directly dealt with Samsungs' KNOX, but that creates major headaches too.
We are lucky to have ANY S-Off solution.
We are also lucky to have so much enthusiast & ROM dev interest in the M8. Some of the forums here on XDA are barren.
Phew, used firewater and flashed the new firmware. painless for the most part after SuperCID and thanks XDA again for this wonderful crowd. proud to be part of this great community. this is going to be an exiting weekend!

Pay for sunshine is the developer's choice, and has nothing to do with HTC. For all we know, developers can choose to charge money for any root solution on any device, if they want.
Complaining is not going to accomplish anything except piss off folks who enjoy this device (which is most folks here). Aside from the sunshine fee, all the concepts and steps that you seem to have trouble with are very basic. If you can't understand and accomplish them, you shouldn't be rooting your phone in the first place.
HI,
I just bought an unlock htc m8 no branding any where. I unlocked the bootloader and flash a custom recovery but when I tried to root the phone something went wrong because I'm stuck on the boot screen and it would not go past it. I have been looking every where how to fix it, I don't have a nandroid back up and don't know which one to look for. Is there a way to restore it back to normal? I also tried flashing a custom rom but it gets stuck in the same place.
please help.

Have you flashed a custom recovery on the device? If yes, just try to restore a nandroid back from @Mr Hofs thread and your phone will be fine
Problem is, I don't think there is any nandroid backups available for his device LRA__001. First time I've seen that CID mentioned. Going by MID doesn't help much either, I think the Verizon has the same MID. Going by the "product: m8_wlv" it also indicates Verizon. I do see that he's on AT&T on his profile though but...
Being stuck on bootloader screen for 10minutes or more won't be surprising at all if he flashed a 2.xx.xxx.x firmware based custom ROM instead of a 1.xx.xxx.x version. Need to upgrade firmware in order to do that.
You don't happen to recall what version software your device ran?
Hi, I had the 2.7 TWRP recovery but found the 2.8.0.6 works better. I was able to flash PA ROM and it is working now. Plus now is rooted and S-off and super CID.
The phone has no branding and bought from amazon as unlock from factory. But is funny you mention Verizon has similar IDs because when I plug the phone to HTC sync the first splash screen shows Verizon wireless assistant and then go to the normal HTC one.
I tried the latest HD ROM and it was force closing a lot so I think the firmware is 1.... Something. I want to upgrade but don't know which one to get. Maybe I should look on the Verizon forum, thanks for letting me know that.
I spoke with developer support at HTC and they told me they will help restore to stock and escalated the call. I will let you know if they do help.
Thanks for the replies.

Honestly if its that much of a hassle, you should stick with something safe, Change the MID and CID to a Dev Edition/Europe, to do a full convert and you wont have to worry about the LRA_001. If you do those 2 steps the the OTA will be automatic as follows.
Else just flash a custom recovery, wipe data/cache and so and restore with one of the TWRP backups posted around here and you'll be good to go :good:
Cool I will try that. I did not know that.

Don't forget though, best steps as follow, change MID, CID, restore via TWRP backup. If youre in Europe then change the MID to EUR, but the CID change it to super CID. Youve gotten past the hardest part which is the SOFF so everything is a breeze from there on out.
You won't lose your internal data if you do any of the following steps but dumping them on your SD card would be safe too.
I had an SG manufactured one, and the OTA came out pretty weird, was an unbranded one too. changed it to Dev/Unlocked MID and the super CID, downloaded the B_US002 TWRP dump thats posted here and restored that. Might want to download the OTA too aswell would save massive time after the first 159MB ota.
Awesome. Thanks!
was any one here ever able to get things working?
i am on LRA__001 and got my radio to stop working, no phone signals
contacted HTC dev and they provided me a zip, flashing that didn't help much, still no signals and can't boot into stock recovery.
seems like i've flashed the wrong hboot or something that's causing everything to be flashed on wrong partition addresses.
any help ?

HI,
I just bought an unlock htc m8 no branding any where. I unlocked the bootloader and flash a custom recovery but when I tried to root the phone something went wrong because I'm stuck on the boot screen and it would not go past it. I have been looking every where how to fix it, I don't have a nandroid back up and don't know which one to look for. Is there a way to restore it back to normal? I also tried flashing a custom rom but it gets stuck in the same place.
please help.
thanks.

This isn't the same issue as the OP. You flashed the wrong firmware which is much more serious. This thread isn't relevant to your issue, in addition to being over a year old (which also most likely won't help your issue).

The LRA version is the LRA version. there's no question there. Its based on Verizon, but its not Verizon.
Sounds like you are trying to make up solutions. What you need is LRA firmware or RUU (RUU may not exist).

i've got complete RUU from HTCDev to flash via hboot, did flash that but lost the IMEI and baseband version under settings > about, however the getvar all is still showing that information. so just trying to figure out what went wrong. either something is missing in what they have provided. or the hboot version is mismatching.
read bout the boot process and got to know that hboot reads IMEI and baseband while booting up and holds into some shared memory variables which later read by kernel.
just trying to figure out things and also looking for somebody who can provide dumps so i can try flashing them.

You flashed a hacked Verizon RUU. Its not the LRA RUU, and its also not an official RUU.

No I explained them my case and they asked to couple of days time and then they provided a zip file to flash via hboot. They claimed that they have prepared this file especially for me. I flashed that file. It was 5.0.1 with almost all the images.
One thing that I doubt is that the hboot is not updated since the android-info.txt says hbootpreupdate=12 and my getvar says 11 so just wondering whether it was updated or not.
Also I dumped mmcblk0p3 (board-info) and I can see my IMEI there too.
Just don't know where to nock my head

they send me the wrong files a couple of times. But they did get me the right one at the end. it seems you have the same problem I did. I still the hboot file and the system image. The hboot zip should be installed on download mode and the system image should be rename to OP6BIMG.zip and put in the sd card and re-start the phone in bootloader and let the zip install itself. It takes a long time but it worked. I have the files in my google drive I don't mind sharing it.

Hi guys,
Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place or if this has already been answered. Google suggests this is a common theme, so I hope you'll bear with me, but... I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to rooting, and it's been some time since I rooted my M8 and I've forgotten most of what I learned.
I'm looking to 'unroot' my M8 and restore it to factory settings, for two reasons. Firstly, because it will allow me to receive OTA updates which are currently not happily installing (I assume this is due to my having rooted the device). Secondly, I want to unroot because my bank (Barclays) offers a mobile banking app which doesn't work on rooted phones... Which is annoying to say the least, but unfortunately I've concluded that the the app will be more useful to me than having my phone rooted.
My phone is a Vodafone HTC One M8 (VODAP001), S-ON and has TWRP installed, which I did just now in my attempts to unroot.
Doing `fastboot getvar all` gives me this:
Code:

I hope this is useful and I've provided enough information for someone more knowledgeable to be able to help... but if not let me know and I'll do my best to provide what else is needed!
I should add that I'm a Mac user and as such any solutions which require using Windows tools would be less than ideal. However, if it's absolutely necessary I do have access to a Windows 10 machine which I'm sure my dad would be happy for me to use!
Thanks

That wwe ruu is useless. He is s-on and needs a Vodaphone ruu at least ! Or a stock nandroid backup.
His best chance is going here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3086860
Look for a backup that has the same main version numbers as your output. Restore it and flash back the stock recovery. That's all there is needed. That way ota will install fine.
I'm not sure if there is a vodaphone ruu with that main version number available and even if you find one and it has a LOWER number it's useless as you can't downgrade via ruu due to being S-ON
yea I know that's why I say google it

That one won't work, corrupted. See the size is small for a RUU and that already been discussed in other thread.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm still struggling to get my head around this, but I'm getting there!
So, am I right in thinking that all I need to proceed is a stock recovery img (which I have already) and a TWRP backup?

Yes .. you need restore non-rooted 4.19.161.2 backup and 4.19.161.2 stock recovery.img. Once done, proceed with OTA to the current latest 4.19.161.3
Thanks @ckpv5. I will have a go now and see where I get to. I have a copy of 4.19.161.2_ckpv5.zip as well as a 4.19.161.2 recovery so I think I should be all set.
Must say, I'm glad you replied to my thread as all my previous attempts had led me to your other posts/threads! But unfortunately lots of the files I was after had been taken down from mega/etc.
I'll post back with updates/questions when I've had another go
Success!
Thanks so much for your help everyone! I managed to get my phone unrooted and now the Barclays app and OTA updates are working as expected
I followed this process by @ckpv5, except I used adb to push the backup to my phone.
Great ... glad that we could help

Not easy to do thing without PC.
You have a T-Mobile device, you should be able to find a backup in T-Mobile section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714456
If you have PC, then you can RUU it - http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
Download the latest RUU 4.20.531.5
That's all I can help as I'm not familiar with T-Mobile US device.
Hello I bought M8 from somebody, it is unbranded European model i think, phone is rooted and carrier unlocked as im using it in asia. it comes with android 5.0.1, I want to update to stock marshmallow for this variant. I have been trying to do on my own but it only confused me more. Im not sure if i have custom rom or if because im rooted, because At the time moment it doesnt offer any software updates from the main menu.
Some info abt phone.
Its model id at back is Op6B100,
Android version 5.0.1
Software number 4.18.708.12
Build number 4.18.708.12
In the bootloader menu I have
Software status: Official
Locked ( i think it means bootloader)
M8_UL PVt SHIp s-off
Cid-11111111 (but if I check with cidgetter it says t-mob010). So it confused me because according to its model its supposed to be european model but in fastboot it says 11111111.
HBoot 3.19.0.0000
I dont have twrp installed.
So please tell me where to go from here. I want to either from here go direct to stock android 6 for this M8 variant or go back to stock condition and get ota update. I prefer to lose the root. So please tell me which stock firmware I need, and do I need to change cid, remove root, before that? Also i would like not to brick my device in process.. Thanks.
Also my device is carrier unlocked at the moment so Im hoping this shouldn't affect that. Thanks

Read the guide again .. you need htc_fastboot not normal fastboot.
At the end of the guide it shows 2 other methods on how to install RUU zip. Pick one thar you think it is easier for you.

Please don't post the same question to multiple threads. It clutters up the forum, and makes it confusing for those trying to help you. Your post is also not related to the topic of this particular thread.
i had installed (TWRP by chr0247 v2.8.0.3). then i installed new Os. but it always boots into bootloader. when i click mount button on recovery mode, the system partition is unticked. Is this a reason for my problem? i tried marking it(mounting) and rebooted my devices but still same problem. again it boots to bootloader, system is shown unmounted on mount option on opening recovery. my device is bricked and i am stuck since very long time. Plz any help would be greatly appreciated. bootloader is unlocked !

Where did you get that version TWRP? I don't recognize the user/source chr0247
Describe the source location, or obfuscate the link with some extra character (as I see you don't have enough posts to post a link).
Which ROM did you try to install?
That TWRP version is a bit old. I just have a feeling you have used wrong or old TWRP; or mismatched ROM vs. firmware, and the condition is probably recoverable.
If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Help you out with what exactly? I assume you have the same/similar problem as the (old) thread title: not booting to OS. But it would be nice if you gave a description of how you got to this point, if you have TWRP (like the OP does) and unlocked bootloader or not. Getvar data is really useful, but usually not enough info by itself to describe the problem.
You have the M8eye. Not a lot of folks on this forum have that variant, and not a lot of resources for it. If you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP, you can try to restore one of the stock TWRP backups (has to be one for the "eye" specifically). Although the only one uploaded for your CID is 1.80.720.1. So I don't personally know if they higher version number backup will work or not.

I asked for a detailed description of how you got to this point, plus if you have TWRP and unlocked bootloader. And you respond with a single sentence?
"I have the same problem" isn't an appropriate description of your issue, if you want proper help.
You have TWRP 2.8.0.3 and tried to install a ROM? Since that is what the "above guy" did. Unless your problem is exactly the same (and trust me, it never is!) you need to provide specific information.
Yeah, sorry. To be honest it's my cousin's phone and he gave it to me to fix. Yes, it has TWRP 2.8.0.3 and I don't think it has a ton installed in it, coz whenever I try to switch it on, it just shows HTC in the blank white screen and it's stuck like that until the battery dies. If I open it in recovery mode it takes me to some TWRP bootloader.

Even so, I don't see why you can't ask your cousin what he did, tried to do, etc. It's in his interest if he wants the phone fixed, to give you the info.
Might be something as simple as flashing the right version SuperSU (botched root attempt).
