[Q] Still running 3.16.0.0000 and can't seem to update

Hello everyone,
I've been searching through the hundreds of topics here on the forums and have tried many suggestions but haven't been able to solve this yet...
I want to try and update my M8 to the latest firmware etc so need to go back to stock to get the OTA but I can't seem to do it. I think I'm running old firmware and can't seem to get s-off.
I get the following with fastboot getvar all:
(bootloader) version: 0.5

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to get back to stock so I can update this beast? I'm currently running ViperRom and philz_touch_6.48.4 recovery but have tried twrp-2.8.0.1 too.
I get the 'unable to mount' issue a lot and have only just got past the decyption issue.
Any help very much appreciated.

Thank you ckpv5. That's where I'd just come from. When I try restoring the nandroid backup (i flashed the TWRP recovery and tried it (extracting to folder and using 'restore'), as well as giving CVM a go too) it tells me there is no partition selected. In TWRP, after I've selected the correct folder to restore from, the next screen doesn't show me anything in the box there.
Surely it's not just me having so many issues?

Surely it's you and your problem ....
Why don't you make a backup with TWRP say select "boot" only.
After reboot, you should see where actually that backup is located.
The extracted backup should go to the same directory
Read this step by step ... replace the numbers with your backup numbers
read No. 3 a-f (assuming you use my uploaded TWRP nandroid backup)

Thank you very much ckpv5, that's sorted things now.
I still can't get s-off via firewater (it gives me the 'whelp' message that it's not possible and will never be possible to s-off my device) for some reason though.

That reason is - HTC Patched it. It won't work.
The only other method to get S-OFF is through Sunshine S-OFF, it costs $25.

Bootl Loop after Lollipop Update

Hey Community,
My colleague gave me his cell phone (HTC One M8), because I have previously worked with cfws and was flashing phones (but this was at time of Gingerbread on LGP920).
That's why I'm not a novice but I'm not familiar with today's technology.
He updated his HTC (it isn't rooted) and get stuck at bootscreen. Now he can't do anything. Recovery & Hard-Reset nothing works for him. I just get into the fastboot mode.
Can you tell me what can I do next?

What's the details on fastboot/bootloader ?

Okey it's unlocked....
Software status: Official
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-1.22.21331147A1.29G
OpenDSP-v46.2.2-00564-M8974_F0.0811
OS-3.28.401.9
eMMC-boot 2048 M

So it's still 4.4.4 firmware and not upgraded to lollipop yet.
Since it is unlocked, install TWRP 2.8.4.0
Then download the TWRP nandroid backup for 3.28.401.9 and stock recovery from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56979449&postcount=2960
Restore that nandroid, then fastboot flash the stock recovery
then reboot and do OTA checking and let the system install the OTA.

But the Problem is... How I get TWRP on my device. I cant't start it at the moment.

You don't need to be on its desktop, only on bootloader (as you wrote the bootloader details)
Then flash the TWRP recovery in fastboot mode (connect to PC when on bootloader where you see the word fastboot usb in red on bootloader)
Run command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (of course you need to have fastboot/adb already installed on PC)

Hi,
I am unfortunately in a very similar situation on an update I started that I must've made some mistakes on.
I'm trying to go from 4.4.3 (with Viper ROM 2.5.0), to 4.4.4 (with Viper ROM 3.2.1).
Have done a couple ROMs on 4.4.2 (even to a GPE edition and back to Sense 4.4.2 with Viper 1.8), then finally onto the 4.4.3 with Viper 2.5.0.... so I'm somewhat OK with understanding & following instructions (til now).
Tried a few things in fastboot, but always seem to get hung trying to load from a reboot....can only boot into fastboot (hangs trying to boot the 4.4.3 OS it seems, I've waited up to 45 minutes at the Green HTC Logo and 'powered by Android' screen.
Just tried the fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-m8.img and I'm again waiting ~30 minutes now....

Any help on where to go from here?
EDIT: Oh....I was eventually trying to go to 5.0 Lollipop, but another post in the Viper ROM thread said to go from 4.4.3, to 4.4.4, and then to 5.0. So I didn't start a new thread....

I'm not familiar with Viper ROM as I never use one so not sure their ROM's requirement.
But, your fastboot getvar all suggests that you flashed EU WWE 4.4.4 firmware without change of MID.
So what actually you want to do ? If it just to update to lollipop firmware then use maybe 5.0.1 based Viper, you only need to flash a modified lollipop firmware which include your MID 0P6B12000. Or easier, change your MID to EU 0P6B10000 then you can flashed the latest EU firmware 4.16.401.10
Or you want to get back to your original device region stock ROM and do update to lollipop if there is one available ?

Now when I'm starting the recovery there is a message ...this build is for devlopment purpose only....

That's normal because you have a custom recovery.
Can you get into recovery ? In there you can mount MTP then you can transfer the downloaded Nandroid backup (which you already extracted on PC) to your TWRP backup folder.
Make a backup of say boot only .. then you can see where the TWRP backup path so you can copy the extracted nandroid to the right location which look something like this
TWRP/BACKUPS/DeviceSerialNo/BackupFolder

This is not even remotely similar to the OP's issue. He is trying to boot after a failed OTA; not a custom ROM.

Not sure, but the incremental updating probably refers to the firmware (or possibly OTA to update the firmware), not the ROM.

Try run command

then try again to enter recovery

This.
And if that doesn't work, flash recovery again.

and last thing from me for tonight ... if you don't mind losing everything on internal storage, you can use RUU zip.
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58504115&postcount=8
But you need to relock bootloader to use the RUU zip because your device is S-On
command to relock : fastboot oem lock
you can use either 3.28.401.9 or 4.16.401.10

Sorry for the mix up. Didn't mean to derail. At the time when I typed, the only accessible option of booting was into Fastboot (recovery option failed to boot, etc.), so I thought it was similar with all the searching I was doing.
Found a solution for me via the TWRP website. All good for me atm on 4.4.4 FW with Viper ROM 3.2.1. Headed to 5.0 FW with Viper later this evening.

Thank you! Problem solved. For People with same Problems i had done these steps:
1. Unlock your Bootloader
2. Load adb/fastboot (if you're to lazy to install this all, like me, use the version from the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVl2dBTnmI)
3. Then load the latest Version of TRWP and flash it with fastboot
4. Download the right nandroid backup here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56979449&postcount=2960
5. Start Recovery on your Device and Make backup of boot (to see were the right place is to put in the nandroid)
6. Start Backup from the nandroid
7. Finish
THANKS FOR ckpv5!!!!! YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH!!!
ps. I reflashed TRWP then it worked sry for my bad english

RUU for Stock Lollipop

Hi All,
I'm slightly confused and I was hoping someone could help. My phone is European with SuperCID, so I'm guessing I can install any RUU from the EU that has stock lollipop and it will work? An RUU will flash my entire phone back to stock right, including recovery?

HTC One M8 - OTA Update Error
Hello,
Could you please advise me on this,
Recently i purchased HTC One M8 from Aliexpress,
And it is a TEST Device, Hong Kong Edition.
I tried to update through OTA but after downloading it shows, " Your phone running modified version of Android, So installation will be cancelled"
I read some threads and i find it more complicated, I don't know what is the actual problem itself. Help me brother please.

OTA depends on your CID/MID and version-main and most probably you have a wrong MID for the software version

Your device MID is wrong. You need to change it to 0P6B63000
See this thread on how-to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
and the command that you need is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54909204&postcount=136
after you change MID to 0P6B63000, install the stock recovery and try the OTA again.. it should work this time provided you have a pure stock 2.11.708.2 with all system files intact.

Thank you so much,
I have two questions ( I am sorry if it sounds dumb, i am a complete novice)
1. Does this process require Unlocked Boot-loader or Root?
2.Install stock recovery? Currently i have Stock Recovery, Is that necessary to install again after changing MID? If Yes, Could you share the thread link please?
Thanks for your time. Appreciate your help.

1. It requires root. If your ROM currently no root, then you need to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery like TWRP to install root/SuperSu
or .. unlock bootloader, install TWRP recovery .. no need to install root and you can run the command to change MID while in recovery.
2. If you already have stock recovery installed then no need. But I believe you need to do as no. 1 then you need to reinstall stock recovery.
All the files needed are in my thread as linked in my signature : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

2. If you already have stock recovery installed then no need. But I believe you need to do as no. 1 then you need to reinstall stock recovery.

Cant go back to Sense (from gpe)

Hello
Since i flashed the gpe ruu, i cant get back to sense.
I tried almost everything. I tried 3 different ruu.exe's, 2 different ruu.zip's and dozens of firmwares. (old and new ones, international and devEd's)
My Bootloader is unlocked, i have s-off and supercid.
(I tried everything with a relocked bootloader, too!)
I followed this guide right here. (And a good hand full of other guides, here on xda)
Currently i have cm13 installed (without gapps!! -.- because /system is too small), but i really want sense back tho
I downloaded 3 different sense based custom roms and tried them all. But twrp is unable to flash them, due to the changed /system partition size. (i tried twrp 2.8.7.0 AND 3.0.0-1)
For those of you who are able to speak or read german, I have a different thread in a german forum.
I appreciate any help!
Thanks

What specific RUUs (file name) and firmwares (version numbers) did you try?

There is your problem .. you need to change it to 0P6B10000 then flash the firmware.zip then install RUU.
See this on how to change it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581

Known TWRP bug, usually happens due to an older version TWRP being used at some point in the past.
Once you flash a firmware successfully, that firmware's version number will be properly shown as main version again.

Hm.
i still cant flash the ruu.
ruu.exe is still giving me errors and the .zip in hboot still says, that the /system partition is too small.
(i also tried the original mid [t-mobile])

solution:
ruu.exe & ruu zip wont work for me.
i tried flashing the firmware & latest twrp and then restoring 6.12.401.4-twrp backup.
and..
it actually worked.
(sorry for double post. i didnt mean to :s)

As I said earlier.. flash firmware.zip first to change partition size then only you can install RUU.
Restoring a backup after firmware.zip is as same as install RUU after firmware.zip is flashed.
And to install RUU zip, you need to use htc_fastboot.exe

Hey guys,

Why cannot ? You can do OTA updates as they will update your firmware.
Restore 1.54.206.10 nandroid and install 1.54.206.10 stock recovery.img then OTA updates.

First you said you can't because the device is S-On, now it's different reason.
Read the backup thread ... use correct TWRP version.
Or you can go the RUU way ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63024353&postcount=6
Option 1 is RUU method
Option 2 - just ignore, won't work for you

You need to delete your IMEI from the top post. This is private info, and should never be posted online.
