[Q] One M8 HTC__001 CID, Firmware/No Wifi problem

Hello, I've been a long time xda lurker (Never thought I could really add much anyhow) since I had my Dell Streak and I think for the first time since I got my M8 I need a bit of help.
They rolled out the lollypop OTA update here in Ireland and figured It was time to update to a stock ROM from here or a slightly improved one but ever since then I have lost my WiFi completely.
Sorry If this makes no seance- at all I'm a little burnt out trying to solve this on my own but even going back to 4.4.3 ROMs I still have no WiFi at all and any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
This is all the info I took from fastboot and the bootloader I thought would be needed

Thanks again for even looking!

First - remove the serial no. & imei no. as those are sensitive info.
The details that you have does not show that you did OTA. You are still two versions behind.
Restore your stock ROM, flash a matching stock recovery (no custom recovery) then do OTA ... multiple OTAs up to the latest 4.16.410.10

If you're willing to set the phone up from scratch you can just update straight to Lollipop using the RUU available on here. If you want to go that route then you can following this guide I wrote:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
Basically, step 3 covers what you need to do as step 1 and 2 are already done and at least once that's done if you still have issues you know it's not the software on the phone

I will try that right away thank you for your help I'll post back here when I'm done

No luck, kept getting error 99 with the 'htc_fastboot" from the thread and with my normal fastboot it gives me the error 32 'header error' I only noticed the thread was for s-off phones, I don't care about my phone saying tampered, unlocked or anything but I'm assuming that's stopping the flash from happening.

You must relock your device first ... then try again with flash the ruu.zip

Haha yeah that worked now, ignoring the guide at the start and just leaving it with the relocked warning it's flashing now via the RUU
Thanks to the both of you for your help.

[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.
An AT&T RUU should work.

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.

Comedy of errors as I've soft bricked my phone

So I got all greedy and wanted Lollipop sooner than when my provider did an OTA.
I tried a bunch of roms and found that Cyanogen was able to work for my phone (a lot of others gave me that issue where the Wifi wouldn't work, I subsequently worked out this was a firmware issue).
In an effort to try and fix a number of bugs I've been attempting to get S-Off. I downloaded Sunshine but Sunshine told me my ROM wasn't close enough to stock for it. So I put another Rom on it, but then mysteriously I lost root access.
So I did a hard wipe.
And now I find myself unable to install any ROMs on it at all (I'm trying to find a stock Kitkat one that will hopefully run).
So I can't get S-Off. I'm not even sure if it's still rooted (though I do have Philz installed and that loads when I put it into recovery mode). And so I'm not even remotely sure what I should do.
Yay!

Bricked mine too!

I just joined this forum, so I don't know if I should be posting here or on a new thread, so let me know I can delete this, move it if I'm out of line.
I'm in the same boat. Just softbricked my girlfriend's Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900a)
Her phone was unlocked AT&T and it auto updated to 5.0 Lollipop update OTA about a week ago.
It's been running like **** so I thought I'd downgrade it to 4.2.2 via ODIN
ODIN (failed) trying to install
G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_G900AUCU1ANCE_HOME.tar.gz
I read in one of these forums that downgrading wouldn't work but they found a work around
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785363
Oh yeah and then my phone bricked so there is that, my GF is being really understanding but I'm hoping I can recover this!!!!
Edit: My problem was resolved here

your mistake is using CWM recovery, Sense custom roms require TWRP recovery, so you need to start by flashing the latest version of that.
once flashed, go in and do a full wipe. dont forget after wiping to reboot back into recovery for the changes to take effect, when you go to reboot it will say something like you have no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot, just say yes, and select DO NOT INSTALL to SuperSU, the rom you falsh will be pre rooted.
TWRP latest version supports MTP, so when your in recovery main window, plug your phone into the computer and your sdcard and internal storage will open on your computer, just copy a rom to your sdcard, once copied, unplug your phone and install it.
use something like ARHD 41 or Maximus HD, they are close enough to stock for sunshine to work.
have a look here for a rom, dont download anything too modded or fancy as you'll be coming away from stock then http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development

your going to need s-off and convert your phone im sorry, doesnt seem to be anything about for your phone, firmware or RUU's.
You'll need to convert to get the latest firmware on your phone, unless you have it via an OTA or something like that ? convert to WWE 401 or Dev Edition 1540, currently your on 980 Austraillia Unbranded.
once you get s-off, convert is easy, all you need to do is change your CID number with a fastboot command, change your MID number, flash the firmware for Dev Ed or WWE, and then run the RUU.

Just keeping you updated, finished dowloading the above rom, flashed it and it seems to be working (mind you, my wifi still ain't working with that ROM, but I can live with that). Sunshine is now S-Off-ing as we speak so this is as much progress as I've made in 2 days!!
What should my next step be after getting S-Off?

easiest thing for you to do is change your cid first, change it to WWE HTC__001 the command is fastboot oem write cid HTC__001 (thats 2 underscores, CID number is always 8 characters long)
so with your phone in the bootloader fastboot usb mode and plugged into the computer, run these3 commands
fastboot oem write cid HTC__001
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
next is to change you mid, so enter recovery and put this file on your SDcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779524
install it like you would with a rom, and follow the instructions on screen, when given the options to select mid to change to, select the one for WWE international.
when you have finished those 2 things, post your fastboot getvar all again please, should be a new and updated one, again without imei and serial number

I never bother with superCID, always seems to cause me more headaches than good.
the 2 best cid's to go for in my books are HTC__001 WWE (world wide engish) or BS_US001 Dev edition, they get the fastest updates.

Brilliant. I'll take your advice. You've got it all right so far.

See this guiy here did the same thing, but he is complaining that he's not got the next update yet, it because he hasnt changed his cid number, he needs to be on HTC__001, everytrhing else is done right, this is from the Australlian thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60272806&postcount=662
your fastboot getvar all should look like his when your done, only yours should say HTC__001 for the cid.

just MID to change, just wondering, have you flashed some firmware ??? how did you get on this 4.16.1540.8 ??? this is dev edition firmware.

No SIM card, no camera and display issues after changing ROM.

Hello!
A few days ago I decided to root my M8 and change ROM to Google Play Edition. Something went wrong during installation and now my phone doesn't recognize a SIM card, camera doesn't work and display is glitching. So I wanted to use a backup file I created earlier, but it was corrupted...
I've already installed 4 different ROMs: InsertCoin, Stock GPE 5.1, Cyanogen CM12.1 and now I've returned to Stock M8.
The problem occurred on every ROM.
I'm attaching a few links to show how it looks like (sorry for incomplete urls):
No SIM Card: i60.tinypic[dot]com/2dab0up[dot]jpg
Camera App: i59.tinypic[dot]com/2ir5iky[dot]png
Flashing and colorful dots on the screen: www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=4u7hRfvUjTw
However the display works fine when I turn on Airplane mode.

PS. I have already tried to flash RADIO separately.

There is an RUU around for 4.16.401, use that to return to stock image.
Than maybe try again to install custom recovery and flash custom ROM. I don't see any reason for those ROMs to give you the described issue (your firmware is up to date, etc.). So maybe you just need to start over from a blank slate.

I tried to use the RUU you mentioned and it didn't help. I've already installed 8 different ROMs and my device still doesn't see SIM cards (I've tested those cards, so I'm sure they work fine) and the camera doesn't work. However the display stopped flashing and glitching. Any ideas?

Meaning what? Did the RUU fail or run to full completion?
If you have RUUed to full stock, and the issues still persist, it leads me to believe there is a hardware issue.

It has been installed successfully and every functionality works fine except SIM card. It still displays a message "No SIM card in phone".
And I'm unable to enter Camera app.

Problem firmware and OS in my m8

Hey guys, if somebody could help me resolve my problem i´ll be eternally gratefully. A couple of days before i bought an international version of the htc m8 (0P6BIMG100), it had kitkat 4.4.4, and i want to upgrate the sistem to marshmallow, so, reading in the multiple forums i found a tread in this site that teaches how to convert the phone to google edition, when i started the fastboot it was locked (i unlocked it) and S-off with supercid 11111111 (the phone came rooted). I follow the instructions step by step and after the installation of the RUU finished, the phone boots in to the black google screen and enter in fastboot. So, i tried reversing the process and go to the sense version again, a friend (who happen to have an htc m8) help me do it and we manage to restore de backup that i made in TWRP. After that, he toldme to install a custom rom, i decide to install the Insert Coin Enhaced "ice-8.2.2_M8_UHL_MM60_SENSE80GP_HTC_WWE_6.12.401.4". And for my surprise, it worked!! However, the phone didn´t recognice de wifi antena, the sim, the front camera, etc and the imei, baseband, and all that stuff said "not available", after a few minutes, the phone began to reboot. Looking through different XDA forums many said it was the kernel, so i let my friend flash the google edition kernel (i still don´t know why i let him do that). After that, the phone simply reboots in the fastboot screen, so again reading in the forums i found that maeby was not a kernel issue, but a firmware thing. So, i been installing a hell of firmwares and one by one trying to install the rom, but it jus´t don´t work. The last upgrate that i did via "ext_card" (i rename it 0P6BIMG) end saying in red letters "device halted due to large image update fail" (i wipe de data of the microsd, i change the microsd for ahother one, and nothing) and a red flag appeared saying "image update fail!". After this, no matter which firmware i try to install it, i cant find the right one, besides, now in the fastboot getvar all command the "version-main: " is blank, it shows nothing. I also found the RUU.exe trends and i tried some of them, but they get stock in the "sending information 0/7 screen". After a while i enter again in the fastode screen with the abd command. So if anybody could help me i´ll be glad to invite the beers, i need the phone for work and it´s been a hell of 5 straight days without resolving this issue, these are the specs that are showed in the fastboot mode screen:

Your device is not International GSM (m8_ul or m8_uhl) but it is a Verizon CDMA device (m8_wlv).
Those ROMs you tried are for m8_ul or m8_uhl, won't work on your device.
Read this on how to fix it - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/m8-bricked-flash-rom-neither-restore-t3535671

I tried to install again the Insert Coin Enhaced "ice-8.2.2_M8_UHL_MM60_SENSE80GP_HTC_WWE_6.12.401.4", for my surprise the TWRP flashed it quick, but after the reboot it was stuck in the white screen with the HTC logo in green color, so...., i wipe it all, reinstall de "1.57.114.2.zip" and well, i´m still reading posts about the subject, any idea of what can i do sir?. By the way, thank you very much for the orientation

No matter what GSM firmware that you install, they won't work on your CDMA device.
You can install those GSM firmware like 1.57.114.2 because the MID is 0P6B10000
If you ever successful install a ROM on these firmware, you won't get any signal, your SIM won't work. Flashing these GSM firmware on CDMA device may brick your radio permanently.
What you need to do :
1. Change back the MID 0P6B10000 to original 0P6B20000
read this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70504345&postcount=35
2. Install correct firmware to fix the radio first
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70502435&postcount=31
3. Install Marshmallow firmware which already include TWRP - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911973227
4. Install your custom ROM that you want.
GPE - install this and select Verizon while in Aroma - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...ment/rom-vzw-stock-gpe-5-1-lmy47o-h9-t3212413
Or you can install any ROM in this section - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development
Or you can install some ROM with Verizon support in this section - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development
And I believe all the Nougat ROM support Verizon too.

When we say "CDMA version" M8, it means it supports CDMA in addition to GSM and LTE networks. Mainly, so Verizon customers can use other carrier nanoSIMs while travelling to foreign countries.
The presence of the nanoSIM slot does not make it the "GSM" variant of the M8.
You have the Verizon CDMA version M8. There is not question about it.

You need to follow the advice given by ckpv5, he knows what he is talking about. If you get stuck with the process, tell us specifically what step, what the specific results were, error messages, etc. (just saying it didn't work, isn't goo enough) If you got stuck, it was likely pilot error; and we can probably troubleshoot, and see what went wrong, and properly advise you.

Ok, so i am in a somewhat similar situation to you. There are a few differences though. The first is that the phone has S-on. The owner said that the phone never had the bootloader unlocked, neither was it rooted. When the phone is turned on, it says:

Respectfully, your situation bears little, if any, similarity to the OP. His is s-off, with custom recovery, and trying to install custom ROMs. Further, he has the Verizon version (which as a lot of unique peculiarities versus other variants), with botched install of another version's firmware; which on the Verizon version in particular, results in broken radio (no SIM).
You have a very different M8 version, and a very different situation (close to stock - although I think root was at least attempted). And you haven't actually described what your question or issue is. The OP's problem is the wrong firmware, and custom ROMs don't work; but those issues don't apply to you.
I see you've started another thread here. I'd suggest sticking to that thread, rather than posting to this one. There are too many differences between your phone and situation to the OPs. Further discussion here (while also helping the OP in parallel) will probably result in unnecessary confusion.

then open command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
then type

No problem. The Verizon version is pretty peculiar, so its easy to get confused by it. In fact, for this reason I typically do not recommend anyone buy this or the Sprint variant, unless they are located in the US actually using that particular carrier (Verizon or Sprint).
