i also flashed the 3.xx update. im on s-off, supercid and my custom rom was viperone 2.5... when i was flashing the update, error 24 appeared. im already on supercid so i wonder why would it fail. so i reflashed the previous firmware which is 2.22.401.5.. it went well but then when im alrady on my homescreen, i notice that i don't have a signal from my mobile network and after a few minutes the phone restarts. could you help me?

yea well depends... a 401 firmware did previously work for you? The new 401 firmware should then work too.
Looking at my error code list i see an error 23 which is a zip error and another close number which is also a close number and also a zip error.
I suppose there was an issue with the firmware zip you flashed. Did you verify the MD5 hash before you flashed it?
It might have been damaged during download and the zip wasn't actually flashed?
I suggest you choose the ZIP flash method and manually reflash it, then post the console window content here. It will tell me which images got flashed and what error occured (maybe). If there was no error, it means the new radio probably just doesnt work for you or the ROM and Carrier combination or something like that....
anyhow... without knowing exactly what happened, it can not be diagnosed properly.

thanks. the 2.22.401 did work for me but the new 3.x.401 update after i flashed, caused (maybe) the no signal problem. i already dealed with the error 23 problem but unfortunately, as i mentioned, the signal was gone. all the method i used for flashing was fastboot. i already tried to revert to the stock rom and stock recovery that matched the original cid. what i noticed was the imei was unknown. tried to fix it but i guessed i just bricked my phone. now it is not turning on . i don't know if there is another way to unbrick it other than using jtag.

Try holding down the power button+vol. up for 20 seconds and see if your phone boots up. Doing this is the equivalent of a battery pull.

Hello sir, in order to use my firmware you'll need to S-OFF first.
As stated in post #1, this is not for S-ON users.

I can see some people mention 3.28.401.7 FW, but you have the 3.28.401.6. Any reason to use x.7 instead of x.6?

No mate. All i know is it contains a fix for croatia. Its been rolled out to other countries too though, so i made FUU's and ZIP's because i guess there are more fixes in there. Just don't know what yet.
This was a totally blind update. Tested, yes, but not taken apart and looked at like i usually do. I have NO clue whats inside. Only thing i checked is Recovery and whether or not it was updated. Yes it was.
Anyhow, HTC often doesn't do much more like build date changes. Sometimes, hboots or recoveries get pushed out that are just newer, but not changed.
They have a streamlined building process and if they update one major thing, they often just automatically build a RUU or OTA Firmware and all files get new build date stamps. At least that is what i have seen occasionally in the past. Files that are 100% identical in hex view except the file header that contains the creation date.

Hi Sir,
unfortunately i do not know where to look to keep track of Asia Firmware. I rely on my users to send me such.
@Sneakyghost thank you man, i'm very very rookie about Android but with your guide and little bit help of google, now my M8 is 4.4.4 with Venom 3.0.1 thanks again and god bless you, i owe you a coffee
Hi people,
A few weeks ago I installed a custom rom. I wasn't pleased with the rom so I searched for another one and I found the venomROM which I liked on previous HTC devices. Their thread states that in order to successfully use the rom you need to have the latest firmware installed. This firmware comes with the HTC OTA's so I reflashed the stock odexed rom from the ARHD website. With this rom I would be able to receive OTA's and there is indeed a software update button in the settings -> about phone menu. I also read that in order to receive OTA's you need to have stock recovery so I flashed it in fastboot.
The problem is that when I hit the 'check for updates' button the phone says "there is no update available for your device". I'm on 2.22.401.4 firmware and I know there is one available because my friend who has the same phone has got the latest firmware (2.23.xxx.x).
What am I doing wrong causing this no update available message?
That's an ota for the rom, not your firmware. You must flash the firmware. See the guide in development called flashing without panic attacks to upgrade firmware. That's one way anyway.
The firmware listed in the thread you mentioned doesn't match my cid number and I can't receive S-off because the tool to do this says so. But I also read that the firmware comes with HTC's OTA
Yes, you need S-OFF, then super CID, then you can use the thread I mentioned.
You can get S-OFF with Sunshine, but it costs $25. And you need to be stock, or very close to stock rom. A couple will work... Many reports that Maximus rom will work.
And am I confused? You flashed a stock ARHD rom? Cause the "ota" function in roms is to update the rom, not your firmware.
If you can't get S-OFF, then to update your firmware, you need to find a guide for s-on method. I'm not sure, cause I'm relatively new to the M8 still, and have been S-OFF since the beginning.
I think you need to use the proper RUU for your device. Or a backup image for your exact device and flash stock recovery.
Anyway, I'm not an expert on updating firmware on s-on devices. You'll need to check the different guides for that. ?
3435
Well the S-on guides refer to firmware with specifiek CID numbers which doesn't match mine, cause mine is T-MOB003. And that's why I don't know how to update to the latest firmware.
Yup, you need the exact firmware, if you are not super CID.
Not sure how to help with that. A backup image would likely work too if you can find one. Then you'd need the correct stock recovery to flash.
---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------
Life is definitely easier with S-OFF.
Well I searched everywhere but can't find exact firmware so far.
I think a RUU would be the easiest option but I also didn't find any RUU for the One M8..
Not sure what else to suggest.
25 bucks, s-off and super CID and you'd be golden though.
That's all I can recommend now.
Unless you can find the firmware.

I believe you will only find RUU for US carrier versions.
If you can't find the firmware for your CID, you will need to s-off by sunshine. Or return to stock ROM and recovery and OTA to Android 4.4.4, if that is currently available for your version.
Well I managed to S-OFF my device with sunshine!!!, now I can update my firmware to the latest version
Awesome! ?
Hello
My htc one m8 is the Asian version (HTC__044) , upon using getvar all, I noticed that my version-main was missing along with the os in hboot. If I were to flash a firmware, would I need to relock the bootloader? Would I lose my data on locking the bootloader? Also, im on base .401 , would I directly be able to flash a .707?
Thanks in advance.

If s-on, yes. Otherwise if s-off, no.
Also, be aware that with s-on you can only flash a firmware that is HTC signed/encrypted. Some are not, and require s-off.

How are you determining 401? From what I'm seeing, the stock software/firmware for your CID should be 707.
You should be able to flash 707 firmware (assume you want to update to Lollipop) on your version, provided the previously mentioned requirements are met.

Thanks for replying. I believe it may have been the rom ive installed that changed my firmware, along with the fact it writes .401 on my software information page. Yes the default firmware should be .707 which I believe is also the main cause of my inability to connect to 4g in my area.
So assuming I find a signed firmware for .707 I would simply be able to flash it on the .401? Or would I have to still relock my bootloader.
Also, would the empty os/ version-main be a problem and if so how do I fix it.

Flashing a ROM will not change your firmware. It does change software number, so if that is where you are getting 401 from, that is normal. Software number is just the base of your current ROM, not your firmware number.
Your firmware number is indicated on your bootloader screen under "OS" and also as "main version" when doing getvar all.

Are you s-on or s-off?
If still s-on, there is no way you could have ever flashed a 401 firmware on your phone. I still think you are confused between software and firmware numbers, and I don't guess that you ever flashed a 401 firmware.
If you are s-on, I still think you are on 707 firmware, and there is some other factor causing your 4G problem.
Yes, you need to relock your bootloader to flash 707 firmware while s-on. If you are s-off, you don't need to relock the bootloader.

It shouldn't be a problem. It will be fixed if you flash a firmware.
This bug was caused by older versions of TWRP. If you flash a current version of TWRP after flashing firmware, the problem should not re-occur.

We always like repeat customers, and satisfied ones.
So is it possible that I am actually on 707 but my rom is making it show 401? Im terribly sorry for my lack of understanding of this whole situation.
Would using the twrp app on the play store update twrp? It should fix the empty main-version ?

I know in the past, folks have often used the word "firmware" to mean the same as the ROM. But you should probably erase that notion from your mind. On this device, the word "firmware" is used specifically to partitions that are not flashed when you flash a ROM, and include hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others.
Yes, your firmware may still be 707 (which can normally be found as OS number on hboot screen, or main version when doing getvar all); while your software (ROM) which is shown in Settings>About>Software information can be 401. Firmware and ROM are 2 completely different things.
I've asked twice now, are you s-on or s-off?
wasdapple said:

TWRP Manager app will update TWRP, yes.
You can also just download the latest version and flash with fastboot, which is my preferred method: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
However, this alone won't fix the issue of main version missing, I don't believe. It will only stop if from re-occurring. But the only way to get the main version back is to flash a firmware. After that, having an updated TWRP will stop if from main version displaying "blank" again. If you use an old TWRP, it will blank out the main version again.
Get it?
I'm sorry I kept forgetting to reply to that, I am actually s-on.
So for instance I want to be back on 707 I should just revert to rooted stock?

Than its simply impossible for you to ever have flashed a 401 firmware. Some of the firmware partitions (hboot, radio) are write protected with s-on, and can only be flashed with your CID version firmware (707).

Yes, rooted or unrooted should be fine.
But you will want to make sure your firmware and software versions match up. What are your hboot and radio numbers? Do you remember if you were on Lollipop before unlocking the bootloader?
My hboot would be 3.19.0.0000 and my radio is 1.25.21331147A1.06G
Yep I was on lollipop before unlocking my bootloader.

Also note that this is the stock ROM, not the firmware.

Not sure what you mean by "get back my 707", and you need to explain more clearly.
If the intent is to return to 707 firmware, its not needed, I'm confidant you already are on current 707 firmware. And flashing a ROM does not change your firmware (as I've already explained multiple times).
If the intent is to make the main version appear again, flashing a ROM won't do that either. As mentioned, you can only make that reappear by flashing a firmware.zip (not a ROM.zip).
If the intent is to just return to a 707 ROM base, then yes the ROM you linked will do that. But the only reason I see for you to do so, is to see if it helps your network issue. Using ROMs of other bases will not normally affect network service (as long as your carrier's APN is correct). And I've already linked you to stock 707 nandroid, which is probably the best baseline to troubleshoot from. Or are you not comfortable with the nandroid restore process?
Again, you haven't really explained what you are trying to accompish; so its hard to answer the question.

Click to expand...

If the ROM is a similar enough base, it might be possible to dirty flash. But its not recommended, and still possible to have various severe bugs, or not even boot. Therefore, full wipe is normally recommended when moving between different ROMs (and often even major updates of the "same" ROM).
Any person flashing ROMs should know how to backup and restore their personal data (using Titanium Backup and/or other means) when moving between ROMs.
Sorry for my vagueness in my previous post. Currently in my phone settings, the build number is 4.26.401. , which is the base of my current rom? So supposedly if I flash an Asian wwe would I get my software base back to a 707 as in the link.
Also, you mentioned for me to flash my firmware as per my cid, which could be found in most firmware dumps? Would be it be possible to link one to me? And if I am in fact on a 707, do I still flash 707 firmware?
The reason why I an unwilling to go through with nandroid is that I am not exactly looking to restore to stock, I like to have customs roms and the root capabilities. My ultimate objective is to get back to 707, or at least get it to appear on my software information screen. To my knowledge, 401 is for the European countries and the basebands for 4g LTE is different, thus I am unable to find out why if I am s-on with my firmware and radio intact I could not connect to my local 4g LTE, and to my point of view, only through flashing a firmware affect everything.
Im sorry for this large amount questions and extremely grateful you have taken the time to tend to it. I sincerely apologise if I seem to keep insisting that my firmware has changed despite your reminders.
I've actually been trying to update the firmware on my M8 today as well, but when I go to "flashboot flash zip firmware.zip" I am returned the message "not enough space."
I've cleared the cache successfully, and that didn't open up enough space. I tried to delete userdata, but it wouldn't let me do it remotely.
So I'm a little confused as to my next move here...

Yes. You will get your software number back if you flash a 707 based ROM, such as stock.
So, here we go.
Download this 4.19.707.2 RUU onto your PC
When the download is finished, plug your phone into your PC, double click on the downloaded file, and follow the prompts. This will update you to Lollipop and you will be on the stock ROM again.
Since you are S-On, you will first need to relock the bootloader.
In fastboot (obviously) fastboot oem lock before you proceed with this.
Also, THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE, so be sure to backup anything that is important to you.
Is the ruu rooted, or purely stock pre-root?

If the intent it to return to 707 based ROM to see if that helps your 4G issue, then yes the custom ROM you previously posted will do that. It will also make 707 appear for software number in the phone Settings.

I was more talking "if" you can find the 4.16.707 firmware. The main firmware collection I refer to doesn't have 4.16.707, just old 707 firmwares (which you don't want)]: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
If the firmware can't be found, the RUU listed by xunxholyx is your best bet if you really want to flash the 707 firmware. But I really don't think this is needed. As I'm nearly 100% sure you are already on the current 707 firmware, and the only benefit of flashing the 707 firmware (by RUU) is to get the OS number to appear again on the bootloader screen and on getvar all (which is really not that important).
On the other hand, RUU to full stock may be a good way to troubleshoot your 4G issue, especially if flashing the 707 based custom ROM still doesn't fix the issue. RUU is not just a stock ROM, but a complete factory image, complete with bootloader, radio, etc.

So, here we go.
Download this 4.19.707.2 RUU onto your PC

Yeah, they are hard to come by. I was helping a user here six to eight weeks ago, and told him I didn't know of any Asia RUUs. He came back the next day replying that he found one, so I asked for the link and gave it to Sneakyghost and Alex (from AFH) to upload to androidruu.com
They have a few that aren't common there, and are always looking for more hard to find ones. If you come across one, you could PM me or Sneakyghost to have it added. Always nice to have a good RUU repository to go to.
Hey everyone. I'm having a similar issue, and I don't want to start a new thread, so I'm going to add on to this one.
I've been on AOKP since it was released for this phone, so I've missed out on some OTA updates. Every time I try to flash a Lollipop ROM I get all these weird issues (WiFi not working, systemUI crashes, etc.), and after reading a few threads, I believe its an issue with the firmware.
I tried going back to stock, but the only Nandroid backup I could find for my phone isn't compatible with my firmware (WiFi refuses to work, only data). So I was wondering what else I could do to update the firmware. Reading this thread, it looks like the RUU is another method, but I'm not too sure how to get started with that, or which one to use, as my OS in the Bootloader and my version-main is blank.
Any advice is appreciated, please let me know if you need more info.
My Device:
Rooted
TWRP 2.8.7.0
S-Off
CID-TELUS001

What are your hboot and radio numbers?
I tried to install the RUU that is for the unlocked/developer but i relocked and while installing it wiped everything so now im stuck with the stock bootloader nothing else, which RUU do you think would work , here is my info the cid is VODAP110
The RUU you tried is specifically and only for the US Developer's Edition. Its a common (but really wrong) notion that it works on any unlocked M8.
I don't think your version has an RUU. Or I can't find it, anyway. You would be looking for RUU 6.12.166.4
If there is no RUU, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, and restore the 6.12.166.4 stock TWRP backup from here:

The file you need is in Post #3 of the thread. Instructions in Post #1.
Also, you need to delete your IMEI and serial number from your OP. These are personal data, which should never be posted online (and they are not useful for us to help you in any way).

I said to delete the IMEI and serial number only, not the whole getvar output. The rest has some useful info. Somebody else may have some insight based on the other data there.

Yes, here you are: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/2016-05-27-fastboot-flashing-firmware-t3387520
There is no RUU yet. It hasnt even been released for WWE yet. The link above is only firmware.
I have the unlocked US version of HTC 10 with Marshmellow and I successfully rooted it, installed the latest TWRP recovery, etc. Now OTA updates do not work - TWRP can't update OTA updates. Will RUU work better? I can't figure out which instructions to follow to flash my version of unlocked rooted S-OFF TWRP HTC 10 to Nougat 2.28.617... update. Could someone help, please?

RUU is stock. By put TWRP on your phone you broke OTA. A dumb system, one I assume is to do with security. Theres no reason we should be prevented from downloading updates, really, or installing them. Most people use a custom recovery for good reasons.

The only RUU for that firmware at the moment is for US devices, and its for Nougat, as mentioned above. From what I can tell (and have experienced) it can be installed on most HTC 10 phones with no ill consequences, however I would double check before you go ahead and do it. And you need to be S-OFF in order to change the MID to 2PS650000 and the CID to BS_US001 since the RUU will fail if it dectects any others. I installed the US RUU onto my UK HTC 10 and changed my settings back to what I had before (essentially WWE unlocked HTC__001 and 2PS620000) and it works perfectly fine.
