HTC Officialy S OFF Wildfire S

Hello maybe you already know this.
So befor few minutes i S Off my phone via the HTC dev website
now when i go to Hbot is writen UNLOCKED
And under this is writen Ship as S-on
So now im trying to ROT the device but when i put the zip file in the SD card and fallow the procedure giving me CID incorrect Update
Press power to restart.
And all the time giving me this
So can anyone help me how to ROT my device!?
Thank you in advance

1st: wrong section
2nd: i made it with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399868
i also got custom roms working on it, but because of s-on you have to flash cwm via fastboot

To supercid so you can debrand you need to issue a fastboot command...
Fastboot OEM writecid 11111111
Then it won't say CID Incorrect

Wrong forum. Follow the ongoing thread...

[Q] Help to restore my waranty

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a htc one M8 to a french company which import them from Poland.
I unlocked the bootloader of my phone with HTCDEV, I flash twrp, and I rooted the phone.
Today, I have a problem with the duo camera, when i run the camera, a pop up comes to say that the duo camera is covered and I need to pull my finger somewhere else but i have this from a week and nothing is in front of the camera.
So the reseller said that I need to make work the waranty of the phone to solve the problem.
Of course, i can't use the waranty because my Hboot is unlocked.
I read this Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
To relock the bootloader. I read that I t would work for me.(I'm s-on for the moment but I think I will be able to find a tuto to s-off )
I just fine this thread to remove tampered flag :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708565
I didn't read all commentarys but it seems to works.
But i'm wondering what else should I do to restore waranty, I read that flash the ruu will be ok but I think my phone don't have the international rom because there isn't super eco battery mode and when I ask on an other forum someone answer me that was because I got a Polish phone.
Could somewone guide me? Is my request possible? In what order apply tutos? Where download polish RUU?
Sorry if the english is bad..
Thx,
Allan

[GUIDE] Return your M8 to 100% Stock Follow the instructions in that thread, it'll be the same for most devices just use the correct software applicable to your phone. You need to be S-OFF to achieve the removal of tampered banner and other goodies.
So first thing you'll need to do is get S-OFF, you could either try the old Firewater S-OFF method found here: Firewater S-OFF Instructions it worked on most devices but the newest patches released by HTC blocked it. If it doesn't work for you you can try [Android][HTC S-OFF] SunShine for modern HTC devices . It should make you S-OFF fore sure however it costs $25 through an in app payment method. It's "per" device, so if you pay $25 to S-OFF and they give you a new phone you'll have to pay another $25 to S-OFF the new one... Worth considering though if firewater doesn't work...
After you get S-OFF just follow the general instructions in the Guide provided above and you should be set to go :good:
What is your software version number, I don't see it on the pic? Are you still on stock ROM, if so check in settings >>> about >>> software information.
I'm not familiar with the various different main-versions that comes from Poland. If we can get the version you're on it'll make things a bit easier. Having said that here is the thread with a lot of nandroid backups that you can look into as well COLLECTION of Stock backup's

Yeah that's for T-Mobile Poland...
Well if you're still on Stock ROM then you only need S-OFF to remove the tampered banner, show bootloader as locked and you'll also need a stock recovery, which might be a bit more difficult to get. I've seen a few people on here asking for it and not sure if they found it yet or not I also don't think there's an RUU available for it...
There is a TWRP Stock Nandroid in this guy's post, don't know if it includes the stock recovery though.
CID T-MOB009 - 1.57.118.2 TWRP ( hboot 3.16)
Direct link: Mega Uploads link for 1.57.118.2 TWRP

Well,
My phone is S-off, I don't really thing about consequences because it cost me 25$ and I start looking for T-Mobile Poland stock recovery AFTER.
And it's hard to find... Lots of result for the m7.This post appeared often ans by curiosity, I type " m8 T-Mobile Poland", this post appeared in fisr page... I will continue but if someone have it, i would be great to tell me where I can get it !
Edit : Do you think T-Mobile from other country could work? Germany? Thxs!
Edit 2 : I found this Thread on polish forum : http://forum.android.com.pl/f1288/kolekcja-backup-ruu-ota-416860/
On the first post, in the signature, we can read : Backup : CID T-MOB009 - 1.57.118.2 TWRP (HBOOT 3.16)
I'm not sure to understand everything with google trad but do you think it's a full backup with the recovery and i can use it ?

That's the exact same link I shared with you already. I think it is the full backup(Not sure about Recovery though) as I tried to download it on my phone and it's a big file. You can just download it to PC though and open the .zip file and make sure everything is there, boot.img system.img radio.img etc If it's just a TWRP on its own I don't think there will be a recovery.img, hopefully there is though. I didn't download it fully myself, on data plan and not going to spend it downloading a 1gb+ file that isn't even applicable to me :angel:
As for the T-Mobile from another country. You can convert to any device once you're S-OFF(Apart from the obvious CDMA vs GSM so Verizon/Sprint won't work I think) so you could flash T-Mobile Germany(will have to change CID/MID I think MID might be the same though) yes, BUT, you probably won't get OTA updates then and will probably have to download the OTA updates as they are released and collected(at xda for example) and then flash it manually.

About flahs T-mobile Germany RUU, would it permit me to make the waranty works?
Edit : If I found someone with the same software number than me, I would be able to do the backup, right? I find this :
How do i backup the stock HTC recovery ?
Boot the custom recovery, preferably with Philz touch recovery as it will back up the stock recovery for sure, you need the following command to boot it and not flash it over the stock recovery :
fastboot boot recovery_filename.img
Then make a full nandroid backup, the stock recovery is located inside the backup folder

But I don't understand, they said boot the custom recovery with an other recovery? oO Are you able to explain it to me ?

Yes that's a TWRP backup, like suspected though, no recovery.img file to go back to stock recovery.
German RUU - You could convert device to German T-Mobile sure, will it pass warranty? If you're very lucky and they don't look deeper into this then sure, I suppose it could pass. Though somehow I doubt that'll happen
Same software number...? Is this physical access to a phone that has the same software as yours or did you get it online somewhere? I don't understand your edit part there... But regardless, you can make a backup of his device yes or ask him to do it or if he already made a backup with CWM/Philz Touch then it'll help a lot too as it'll have the recovery.img. I won't say much more about this though..need more clarity from your side about that...
They don't boot a recovery with another recovery, they boot the custom recovery from fastboot in order to make a backup of the system + stock recovery. You should have done this before you flashed a custom recovery as well, preferably with CWM/Philz Touch Recovery. If you're going to use TWRP then you'll first have to manually "dump" the recovery as a backup, if you use Philz, Philz could at least have made a backup of the stock recovery.
But yeah, you can boot into a custom recovery. Connect the phone to the device, reboot into bootloader, open command prompt change directory to where adb.exe is. Type in fastboot boot name_of_custom_recovery.img then you can make a backup of system including recovery(IF you booted Philz/CWM) .
It's a bit too late for you now though, you already flashed a custom recovery which over wrote the stock you had.

Hi!
Last week I checked for my recovery backup on google and I found this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/t-mobile-poland-1-57-118-2-stock-t2852647/page2
And this guy was looking for the same thing than me! An I could donwload the file, so, I will be able to return 100% sotck!
But i just have one question : In the guide that you post

Reboot your phone into bootloader mode (Volume Down + Power button)
Connect Phone to PC
Open command prompt in adb folder
Type fastboot devices to make sure device is connected.
Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - It should be recovery.img I don't think anyone would change the name of the recovery.
Type fastboot reboot - Phone will reboot back into OS.
Recovery is flashed and you can do updates. Of course the rest of your phone needs to be stock as well but seeing as you only mentioned the recovery now I take it that your phone is back to stock.

Ok, thx, but if I understand correctly, I have to dos this instead of ste the step 6 of the guide?
6. Flash stock FW package
Now your phone is back to 100% stock, we need to get the stock recovery back on the phone. To do this, you have to flash the 2.22.401.4 FW package from HERE. To flash this file, do the following:
a. Reboot phone into fastboot
b. Copy the FW file to your fastboot folder on your PC (if you don't have fastboot in your system path)
c. Rename the FW file firmware.zip (NOT firmware.zip.zip)
d. Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
e. Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete. Although you don't have to do this twice as you used to do with RUU ZIPs, it's STRONGLY recommended that you run this command a second time after the first has finished to make sure it 'takes' properly
f. Type: fastboot reboot
The phone will now reboot

Nah it's not necessary, just flash back the stock recovery. You'll get the latest firmware for your device when you do the OTA update anyways and at least this way you know that things won't go wrong.
I think they included that method because the latest recovery.img file is already in the firmware package and flashing it will restore the recovery back. You can just restore/flash it normally and let the system update itself. Like I said above, not a lot can go wrong that way.

Flash a recovery with a locked bootloader
Unlock bootloader, flash stock recovery, lock bootloader.

YOU ARE THE BEST!! haha
So, it worked!
Now, when I go into the recovery I have a phone with a red "!" inside a triangle, is it okay?

If you tell the firmware version which you flashed, it is easy to tell the way to stock. s-off is not a problem, if you can spend 25$. if your expectation is only go to a updated stock, it is not necessary to s-off. If your bootloader is not unlocked, twrp can't be installed. If your firmware is up to date, it is okay to make bootloader unlocked.

What you are asking for sounds kinda sketchy. If someone were to backup and share their mmcblk0 partition with you, you would have everything written to their internal storage in there.
I might be wrong with this, but I don't think I am.

Ikr but I'm not after the personal files. My M8 died and recognized as usb qdloader 9008. No fastboot, no recovery, black screen no signs of life. I need the dumped mmcblk and try to kickstart hboot via SD or linux so I can flash its RUU. And if it'll be a success I will post the procedure how i revived it that can serve as a reference for others who may encounter same problem.
if its with privacy issue then i dont mind a dump of a fresh factory reset phone.

How to root my HTC One M8 (Android 6.0)?

I would like to root my M8, it has the latest OTA update from HTC which is Android 6.0. I have the developer edition, from what I've heard, the bootloader is already unlocked right?
I've seen some guides but most of them are outdated or they are meant to be used with Android 4.4.4.
I must say I'm not an expert when talking about phones, so is there a step by step guide to root an M8 with marshmallow? I would really appreciate any help.

The bootloader screen will indicate the bootloader status (LOCKED, UNLOCKED or RELOCKED) near the top of the screen.
In general, the process is:
1) Unlock the bootloader by HTCDev.com (if its not already unlocked).
2) Fastboot flash TWRP 3.0 custom recovery: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
3) Backup your stock ROM in TWRP - lots of folks have been running into bootloop or no boot after trying to root (but probably usually when trying to use an obsolete version TWRP and/or SuperSU - but it never hurts to be safe and have a backup).
4) In TWRP, flash SuperSU v2.76 to root: https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip

Thanks for the answer. Just one more question. My bootloader is already unlocked, but it says "S-ON" under "UNLOCKED", will that be a problem?

Nope, that is just fine. S-on is perfectly okay for most mods, such as root, and flashing ROMs.
You only need s-off to do some very specific things, such as flashing modified hboots, manually flashing radio, changing CID&MID, downgrading by RUU, etc.

I have a simple doubt regarding flashing twrp. Does this means I can flash twrp through adb without getting root access to get root access.I usually root my devices using kingroot,works perfect for my old phone micromax.It also works for my htc one m8 when it was kitkat.But after I update to marshmallow Kingroot doesn't work for it,tried many times.If you could answer my question I would be very thankfull

You don't need root to install TWRP, if that is what you mean. You just need an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks a lot,have already unlocked the bootloader.

I've unlocked the bootloader but apparently I need to know which ver of twrp to use for my carrier ....no idea what to do there so I can't just flash the latest SuperSU from here? and how do I back up my stuff in case I mess up? Please help me i'm lost here

what carrier ? if you are on gsm just flash TWRP 3.0.2-0 from official website
https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
after you flash TWRP recovery you will find option to backup it's too easy to understand how it works ( just check the partitions you want to backup and confirm your choices by sweep to proceed the process )
after you make a backup flash the latest supersu.zip from here ( choose TWRP installable.zip )

I think you're looking at some really outdated info or guide. TWRP hasn't been carrier specific for about 2 years; with Verizon and Sprint being the only ones you had to look out for. But TWRP was unified long ago (so Sprint/Verizon no longer requires a different TWRP version). You'll see from ahmed's link, that it specifies "All variants" of the M8. The exception would be if you have an M8s; and maybe another oddball variant or two (which are really different hardware). But as long as its a true "M8" the TWRP version linked by ahmed will work.
If you have any doubts or concerns about the M8 version, connect the phone to your computer, reboot to fastboot mode and do command fastboot getvar all and post the results so we can take a look (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

No, you can't flash SuperSU without first flashing TWRP. Why would threads/guides tell you to do something that isn't necessary, if you can just skip it?
Simply put, you can only flash official "signed" files from the stock recovery. You need a custom recovery like TWRP to flash SuperSU.

Once you install TWRP, you can use it to create a backup of your stock unrooted ROM and user data. And its highly recommended to do so, before you flash SuperSU. Not only will this give you an easy way to revert/recover if something goes wrong with the root attempt; but you will also have a backup of your stock, unrooted ROM if you ever want it.
There are other ways to backup your data, but that depends on what "stuff" you are talking about (as that vague description doesn't tell us what you actually want to backup). For instance, for files, photos, etc. you can just copy and paste them to your computer as a backup.

I'm not sure what are you talking about since I'm new to the whole thing I believe that firewater has something to do with S-off which is something I couldn't do because all the guides says download firewater and the links takes me to sunshine which i believe cost me money to do ? sorry correct me if I'm wrong but I'm just a newbie beside I don't need s-off right ? what does that have to do with my problem ?

Firewater was an all-in-one kit used to unlock bootloader and achieve s-off. The guys that created this went on to create Sunshine, leaving firewater project behind, so any guides from 2014 are likely obsolete. Unlocking the bootloader is as simple as going to htcdev.com, making an account and following the instructions there-it's super easy. S-off isn't necessary for most.

yes that what I have done exactly I'v unlocked the bootloader this way then used the all in one kit to root but then couldn't s-off as the guide I was following said download firewater and the links take me to sunshine . I don't know much further have not tried sunshine yet and now my rom seems ok after I re-flashed it awesome rom btw still little curious about s-rom but this one will do just fine I'v been using stock for ages .

Firewater and the AIO (all-in-one) toolkit are 2 different things. Firewater is an (obsolete) s-off method. May have also contained a temp root, and some other things (can't remember exactly, it's been 2 years - and doesn't matter anyway - see more below). But firewater is not typically referred to as a "toolkit" or "all-in-one" (never seen it referred to that way, actually).
All-in-one toolkit (there are a couple) is a PC for unlocking the bootloader, root, and several other things (may have had a link for firewater, don't remember - again it's irrelevant for reasons below).
The toolkits are not recommended. They haven't been updated in a long time, and therefore use very obsolete files for TWRP and SuperSU (when applicable). You will have issues flashing many ROMs with old TWRP (and I'm surprised you haven't yet). Plus, you will probably find in bootloader and fastboot getvar, that the OS number is now blank (known bug in old versions of TWRP). I would suggest flashing the current version TWRP 3.1.1 using fastboot, to prevent issues moving forward. Current TWRP is fully compatible with current ROMs - but will not fix the bug of OS number being blank (need to flash firmware or RUU to fix that - but it's just a minor thing).
Firewater doesn't work, no matter what you do. It required an online server component, which the devs took offline over 2 years ago. Sunshine ($25 US) is the only current s-off method. But be aware, that most folks don't need s-off. S-off isn't needed to root, flash custom ROMs, and most other mods. s-off is only needed for very specific things, such as manually flashing radios, changing CID/MID, and some other things.

redpoint73 thank you so much for such a help truly gentleman much appreciate it .

It appears you can no longer use the usual method to unlock the bootloader. I just got this phone the other day in fantastic condition as a gift.
HTCDev told me there was an error or try again later. I'll upload screenshots later.

Not true... I used www.htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader of my HTC One M8 today.

I have this phone, with Android 6.0 and bootloader locked. However it has become practically unusable as it regularly powers off by itself, most likely due to lack of storage (there's only 0.6 GB left...). I've already uninstalled all of my few (useful) apps, I have no media on it whatsoever, but it is just filled up with bloatware that is pre-installed and gets re-installed automatically and that I thus cannot get rid of. I don't want to buy a new phone (it's in good condition) but from reading on the internet I understand that the only option is to unlock and root it, and put an oem on it exempt of all of these useless apps.
So my questions are, is this really the only option and if so is it still possible on this old machine to unlock the bootloader, and to get the right - clean - software for it somewhere?
I registered at HtC dev. There's a page that walks you through the unlocking process. So I should be able to do that part, if what FlexMcMurphy said in July last year still is true... For the rest, I'm quite new to this process but there are pages here on XDA that describe rooting and flashing. I'm ready to give it a try, but could use help if stuck.
Any reply/help would be wonderful !
Thank you in advance.

You want to unlock your bootloader or sim unlock ? Be more specific please. S-OFF I needed to flash firmware,radio and some audio mods. Maybe u can do it here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ or to ask the owner to send you unlock_token file.

You're a bit confused. Based on your other posts, I don't think anyone really told you that you "need s-off to unlock the bootloader" ( as that statement is not completely true - so hold on and I'll explain why). Rather, you are incorrectly trying the following method to unlock the bootloader, and this particular method requires s-off:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
The method above clearly requires s-off. This is an absolute truism, and no amount of trying it over and over is going to work. However, this is not the only method to unlock the bootloader.
You've already been advised, that you can unlock the bootloader s-on using the HTCDev.com unlock process. Again, this works perfectly fine when s-on. If you need further guidance, the following thread includes very good instructions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
But note that the guide is quite a bit outdated. The portion about unlocking the bootloader is still relevant, and therefore still a really good guide. But once you get past that point, you will need to note the following:
a) When you go to install TWRP custom recovery, you should install the current version 3.1 from here (don't use the TWRP version linked in the guide - it's outdated and will cause problems.
b) If you intend to root the current ROM, you will want to use the current stable version 2.79 (link in the guide automatically goes to the latest stable SuperSU version, so you are okay there.\
c) The remainder of the guide (S-off, SuperCID) isn't necessary for most purposes, such as root, custom ROMs, etc. But it should be noted that the s-off method referenced (firewater) not longer works, and not amount of trying will make it work (sunshine is the only valid s-off method, and costs $25 US).
If you have any other issues or questions about the process, post the specific questions to this thread, and folks will be happy to try to help.
