S-On Problem - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have an unlocked At&T M8 which I'm currently using in the UK, but for some reason won't receive OTA updates (still stuck on 4.4.3). HTC Sync doesn't seem to work either, with it stuck on 'loading data'. So I stupidly decided to flash a rom without backup...
Since my hboot is still 3.16, WiFi doesn't work on any with any of the roms i have flashed. Is there anything I can try to at least get the WiFi working without paying $25 for sunshine? I can't seem to find a rom that supports 1.x firmware; if anyone could point me in the direction that would be awesome.

Run the AT&T RUU. Personally, I would gain S-Off and convert to WWE/Europe. But the RUU is your best second option.
You can find the RUU and instructions on how to update your system manually on the official US HTC website. Link here.
Realize that RUNNING THE RUU WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE!!! So make sure to backup anything that is important to you.

Thank you, however HTC sync doesn't work so I downloaded the RUU from the link. The installer automatically shuts off after I accept licensing (I have relocked bootloader and put the phone in fastboot mode). The only PC in my house is running windows 8.1 :crying:
I even tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235, but windows won't let me open the rom.zip. Is there another way to flash the RUU on to my phone?
Also, do I need to download a recovery image if I'm using the RUU?

Its a somewhat common issue. Might be the Win version, or USB 3.0 ports. If your PC has USB 3.0 ports, I saw a user mention you can turn off this function (make them 2.0) and that seemed to help the RUU.
Otherwise, you might need to borrow a friend's PC.

Thank you for the help. I got the RUU to work on a computer running Windows 7.
I know I have to relock the bootloader to have the RUU work, but the computer, and thus RUU, doesn't detect my phone in fastboot after relocking my bootloader. Fastboot displays 'fastboot USB', but the RUU doesn't detect anything. Before relocking, the computer detected my phone.
I have installed the latest HTC sync manager, so all the drivers should be installed.

I can't tell if you are asking for more help, or just making a comment (and the RUU ran successfully)?
Having the bootloader locked, relocked or unlocked should have no bearing on whether fastboot connects or not. I think something else is/was going on, and the bootloader lock is just a false symptom/condition.

[Q] Unable to load ROM

Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help, have bricked my Australian Optus stock One X. I have tried to follow all threads related to loading stock or custom roms from fastboot and am unable to. I still have CWM recovery 5.8.2.7 touch installed.
I had previously rooted it and installed Android Revolution HD 5.1.0 and seemed to be fine but was unstable and would crash and reboot in certain apps. In trying to revert back to stock I stupidly formatted the SD card, DUMB ASS!
I have downloaded stock rom 1.29.401.7-DUO, all-in-one rootkit, and the ARHD ROM and have tried to either:
1) flash ARHD with bootloader still unlocked, doesn't work
2) follow reflashing stock process ie flash stock recovery, relock bootloader, then flash stock ROM, and am getting stuck on just reflashing the stock recovery. When I try to open stock recovery it takes me to a black screen with a red ! in a triangle, this is with the bootloader relocked.
If anyone is able to help an enthusiast noob like me I'd be very appreciative and would also be more than willing to donate for the trouble.
MAKE SURE you have exactly the right RUU for your phone, whatever the rom was on you were using, ie, 1.26, 1.28, 1.29, you need the same version of RUU, i discovered the problem trying to flash RUUs and after 2 days finally got the correct one, thats when i realised, unlike on other phones, you cant downgrade the One X and when recovering it seems to prefer the one that matches what you were using.
Also make sure youre cid is supported in that RUU, ie, HTC 001, TMOB 054, etc etc, mine can only accept 401 roms, so they must match exactly, until we can get S-Off this problem will remain, dont worry about recovery, so the guide on in case of disaster, you cant go wrong with it, relock your bootloader and get your RUU installed, from their update it to your latest ics version and then if you must reflash your cwm and root it.
Thanks for the info, graemeg. After downloading an RUU that was .exe file, I felt I was getting closer, as it was an AU Optus RUU. But it turns out that my current version is 1.28.980.10 and the RUU version was 1.26.980.3 and so yes I met with the non-downgrading issue.
It seems that there is not currently a stock 1.28.980.10 RUU at the moment, so might be using this as an ornament for much longer than I would have hoped/thought. Bummer.

You can get 1.28.980.10 from htcdev downloads. I would link but I'm a new user, just filter by One X, Optus, and it's there.
Thanks again for the help. I have seen those files on htcdev website, but don't know how to use them
I don't know how to load a RUU that is not a .exe file...if anyone is able to assist, again, I would really appreciate it and will donate once up and running again.
Edit: I just wanted to add that I have tried to follow the thread that explains how to load/flash recovery and boot images via fastboot in command prompt, and have not been able to. So I don't think I'm a complete dumb ass, but do need someone with the knowledge and patience to guide me through it. Please!
First thing first, do you have the right RUU with you ?
If not, maybe this is the one for you : http://hoxroms.serveftp.com/RUU_END...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_258004_signed.exe
second: do you have fastboot directory set up on your pc ? and htc usb driver too ?
Just starting the download now, I think that could be the RUU I've been looking for. Yes I have the drivers and fastboot directory. Will give this RUU a go and let you know, thanks for the quick reply, ckpv5!
Most important before you run the RUU, you need to:
1) have a stock recovery flashed to you your device first (I believe you already have one)
2) relock the bootloader - fastboot oem lock
3) run RUU, it should work.
THANK YOU!
ckpv5, thank you for the link to the updated RUU. Phone is functioning again, stock. Donation coming your way. Thanks for all your help. agentorange82.

Desire HD Can't root on ANY computer

I've tried to root my Desire HD on 3 different computers, just won't work. I've isntalled all the drivers etc to unlock the bootloader and the fastboot bit just won't work what so ever, any help?
First off all, how do you do it? You following a guide ?
Yeah. I've tried every guide on the forum.
I think the driver that never installs is the simple "android" driver. everything else seems ok. Also when I install the android sdk the folder for it don't show up anywhere.
But its definitely the phone. I'm also using Windows 8.
How are you putting your phone in fastboot?
Pressing fastboot on the bootloader menu... it's more driver/phone related i think

Assuming you installed your drivers correctly with HTC Sync, I'm betting it's a Windows 8 problem.
Can't be as I've tried it on a Windows 7 computer with the same result.

Linux maybe? LiveCD? If that doesn't work your phone is probably just broken.
Linux won't change anything, and the phone is working fine.

Specifically, your phone's fastboot would be broken, not the entire thing. Have you run a RUU? Has it ever been unlocked or flashed with a custom ROM?
If the drivers are fine and the phone is fine, they would work, wouldn't they? Between those two something isn't fine. So either the computer's drivers aren't working or the phone's fastboot isn't working. If drivers are not working, you either installed them incorrectly (which you said you haven't) or you need to use a supported OS (like Linux as a last resort). If fastboot isn't working, you either aren't going into it correctly (which you said you have) or your phone's fastboot is broken (in which case I guess you could try a RUU).
Note: do not flash a Froyo RUU on a phone running GB.
Another note: I strongly advise that if you ask for help in the future, you put details on all the things you've tried in your OP all at once. Then you get a faster answer because there is less back-and-forth.
Never ran an RUU. Might try that. And no it Hasn't

It's a 2.0 HBOOT.
There is no 2.0 hboot. It could be 2.00.0029, in which case you can unlock it, or 2.00.0027, in which case you need to make a goldcard and update the hboot with a newer RUU (unless there is a newer RUU made for your phone, in which case you don't need a goldcard). There are more specific instructions around here somewhere, but you will need to search for them.

[Q] Bootloader Help?

Also it claims it CID (in ADB) CWM__07. Something to that note at least.
My guess is that the previous owner just flashed a GPE-based ROM, and didn't do the full conversion. I say this since the phone is S-on; and S-off is needed for the full conversion.
The radio number is also the AT&T radio, not the GPE one.
Does the phone have the AT&T logo on the back?
What happens when you boot into recovery?
I'm thinking you can just flash a ROM of your choice; or relock the bootloader and run the AT&T RUU.

What exactly does it say for CID? AT&T CID is CWS__001, I'm guessing that is what you have.
I think that is the CID, okay that may be it. The recover is the latest of Philz Touch. The ruu always fails if I run it though, which confuses me cause I do want to run stock att room but with some rooted features is all.

Not enough info. Any error message? Did you relock the bootloader (required if S-on)?
Which RUU are you trying to run?
You can try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-2-23-502-3-bootable-ruu-pc-required-t2860486
Folks seem to have more luck with this, than the "official" .exe RUU.
Sorry for leaving some of that information out.
No, the bootloader is still unlocked, and it just comes back it couldn't do it. No error codes, just Failed to flash firmware and then you have to close it. I was trying to run the official HTC/AT&T RUU and that is the one that failed. I will try the new RUU you showed. Thanks!

There's your problem right there. I've already stated it twice, so I'm not sure how else to get it across. Let's try it again:
You need to relock the bootloader to run the RUU since you are S-on.
This goes with the bootable RUU I linked, as well.
I got that. There was a post glitch. I have tried re-locking it, but there seems to be an ADB issue with my device as it will not correctly send commands.

If the command "adb devices" does not return the device ID, you probably have a USB connectivity issue.
Try a different USB cable, or another USB port on your PC. Re-install HTC Sync, and if that still doesn't work, uninstall all HTC Sync and HTC drivers. Connect the phone, but do not choose the option to automatically install HTC Sync or drivers. Go to Device Manager, and find the device and manually pick the option for Generic Android MTP device (or something to that effect).

Yes, different solutions seem to work for different PCs. And HTC Sync seems to cause more issues than its worth. Really very little benefit to Sync, aside form the fact its the most "automated" way to install the drivers.
On my work laptop, everything worked fine (adb, fastboot, MTP) on the automatically installed HTC Sync (when you attach the phone). But on my home tower PC, only adb and fastboot worked, but I could never get the internal storage to mount MTP after trying various HTC drivers, uninstalling Sync, etc. Just uninstalling everything HTC and using the Generic Android MTP drivers via Device Manager is what finally worked on that computer (everything works now, adb, fastboot, MTP).

Lots of trouble unrooting M8...

I've been having a hell of a time trying to unroot my HTC One M8... It was an AT&T one I converted to Skydragon GPE, S-off. All the resources I try to use keep on failing somehow—anyone have suggestions? There's a million different tutorials on how to do it and none of them seem to work for me, getting really frustrated...
(I would link the below guides I've been trying to follow but I'm too new a user so it won't let me):
- The Unlockr guide: The Hassoon toolkit no longer exists.
- DroidViews guide: Everything's good until I try to restore the RUU image, then the executable fails with no explanation. Same when flashing the RUU from HTC's website.
- Restoring from a Nandroid backup in TWRP: Also never makes it through the entire process, I'd have to rerun it to see what the particular error was.
Ughhh is there any definitive set of steps I can take to actually restore to default settings? Preferably with the tampered flags not tripped, but honestly I don't even care at this point... Do I need to flash some stock AT&T HTC One M8 firmware or something before doing this all? Where might I be going wrong? I know it's vague but I'd love a solid walkthrough.
Thanks everyone
The simplest way would be to get an RUU from htc.com for AT&T, putting your phone in fastboot mode (power off, then pressing power+volume down, and selecting "fastboot"), and then simply launching the ruu. It should restore your phone to nearly being stock, except for your CID number and s-off. There are tutorials on how to change your cidnumber, however i am not sure how to turn s-off back to s-on.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html here you can find appropriate downloads
Ok, firstly, you might check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
None of the instructions require the use of anything beyond fastboot/adb. Also, make sure you put your CID/MID back if you changed them to run GPE. That isn't required to run Skydragon, but if you have altered them, put them back. Then rerun the RUU. Finally, since you are S-off, you can trivially fix any flags, so don't worry about that. (Running the RUU successfully will clear the modified flag anyway)

So I did this, starting from the Skydragon Sense 7 ROM:
made nandroid backup
flash 1.54.401.5 firmware
set cid to CWS__001
run RUU for the latest AT&T one. It says it will update from 1.54.401.5 to 2.6.502.16.
Result? Error 155 "Unknown Error", no other information.
Any ideas?

Don't know what guide that is, or what RUU it tells you to use; but be aware that there are many RUU versions for the M8, and the RUU needs to be the proper one for your CID and MID. Also, Win7 or 8.1 is recommended (Win8 and especially Win10 will cause the RUU to fail).

hboot screen is white. hboot number is 3.19.0.0000. radio number is [email protected] I was using windows 8.1, though the computer I was using only has USB 3.0 ports (Apparently people say 2.0 is better?)
This is on the firmware that I was using for Skydragon, I can reflash the other firmware I had used for the failed RUU upgrade if that would be useful.

Yes, folks have reported issues with RUU and USB 3.0. You can always try, the worst that will happen is the PC won't be able to talk to the phone.
Another user mentioned you can "disable" USB 3.0 in settings, but I'm not familiar with that.

OK, I've tried doing it on a computer that has USB 2.0 ports and once again, no go.
Trying to run the Developer/Unlocked RUU on HTC's website, it's stuck forever at 0/7 sending.
Trying to run the AT&T one, it errors out with a 155: Unknown Error message as soon as it boots to RUU mode.
Any other thoughts?

I think this means you need to relock your bootloader (required to RUU with s-on).

HTC One M8

I need some help...
My friend gave me his HTC One M8... But the build he use on is not working and I cannot connect to Google Play store... So basically cannot do anything with the phone...
How could I either, try to install a new build... Or reset the phone to factory default...
I am use to follow clear steps ( Network Administrator here ) but I need help at least sending me in the proper direction.
Thanks
Is the phone s-off? Power phone off, and press power+volume down....then write what the bootloader says...

What is your provider ? Is it an AT&T, Tmobile, etc phone ?
---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------
I really could not tell you what to do with a device that is S-ON. When I first got my device the first thing I did was S-OFF, which makes it easier for me to fix my phone if something goes wrong, and also it's easier for me to fastboot flash different firmwares and change CID's/MID's. AFAIK, you can not do much with a phone that is S-ON other than gain root, but I could be wrong. There use to be two methods to gain S-OFF, but one method has been discontinued (firewater, or something like that is no longer used) and another method that cost $25, but I have forgotten the name of such method. With your phone currently not being operational, I have no idea if you would even be able to get your phone to a point to S-OFF. I do recall seeing that you said something about how you couldn't access Google, and not being able to do such pretty much makes the phone useless. Perhaps, if the phone turns on you could get onto a wifi connection and find that method ($25 S-off method), and you could gain S-Off from there. I just spent 10 minutes trying to find you some links, and maybe they will work for you....

I really need to know who your carrier is before I can assist you any further. Maybe Jball or redpoint will see this if they still even have M8's and direct you better than I can.

The phone is from Taiwan I think... It was ordered when we were living in Dubai...
I talked with a customer support of the US or UK (forgot) and he told me that the phone was from Taiwan...
Is there any codes or serial number that I can give you that would help you with that Answer?
That is beyond me, and I really have no idea how I could help...IT is in your best of interest to try and find redpoint83, and see if he will help you. He's got more knowledge on what to do with S-ON devices because I believe he's got a phone that hasnt been S-OFF. I am sorry that I am not much help, but I do not want to tell you one thing that will end up screwing your phone up.

By the way my phone works, but it's not able to communicate with Google Server (which is the only problem I know it's huge)... But other than that I can do everything I want with the phone... I'm actually using the Wifi sharing from that phone right now

In the thread that you linked me... They say I don't need to be S-OFF to do anything...
Further, s-off is not required to run an RUU (another common misconception, that I don't know where people get); unless you are trying to "break the rules" and either run an older RUU ("downgrade") or run another carrier's RUU.

You have a EU WWE device running a very old software version.
What you can do .. update to the latest with a RUU
RUU will wipe everything on your phone including internal storage so backup all your important files like photos, musics & etc to PC.
Download RUU 4.16.401.10 from here : http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8
Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode then relock bootloader with command
fastboot oem lock
Right click RUU and select run as administrator and follow the RUU instructions
To run a RUU .. you need USB2.0 and latest HTC USB driver installed. If not sure, download HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
install it as it will install the latest HTC USB driver then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager but leave the driver.

Alright... HTC Sync Manager installed, now downloading the RUU you gave me:
RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10_Radio_1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F_release_417003_signed.exe
This one right?
Next step will be to relock the bootloader...
And just run the .exe as an administrator...
I'll come back in a few hours when I finish downloader the RUU

Alright I downloaded the file...
Installed HTC Sync Manager
Uninstalled I but kept the HTC Driver Installer
I ran fastboot oem locked
After I did that the phone only boots in fastboot.
I tried to run RUU but it seem to be running in an infinite loop... Stuck at "Verifying Information on your Android Phone. Please wait..."
Well you are a superhero!!!! Thanks for helping
Took me a while to figure out everything... How to do all the commands... Install what I needed find the conflicts on my computer with ADB but finally got everything to work 100%
Thanks a WHOLE freakin' lot
Great :good:
Before you unlock it again in case you feel like modding it further, do that OTA checking first.
There should be OTA to 4 .16.401.13
Settings -- about -- software update.

Done Thanks!!!
No Modding for me My friend screwed it up and he didn't know...
It some there is some version of Androids that are bugged and you can only register on the google 1 time (when he did it the first time) and when you wipe the phone you can't access the server anymore... Never found a solution and I'm not the one that modded it and my friend lives 6 hours away from my (by plane) hahahaha so there was no chance he can help me!!
Thanks a WHOOLLLLEEEEE Lot!!!
