I attempted to install lollipop OTA update on my rooted, unlocked, S-ON M8 yesterday but it wouldn't install because I had TWRP recovery enabled. Basically now I've formatted the whole thing and I can't find a stock recovery ROM for it anywhere, as it's not Verizon or Sprint etc. It's CID is H3G__001 and it is registered on contract to Three UK.
I have tried flashing many things with no success. Please help.
Try looking in this thread.
You will find a stock H3G ROM backup there, the stock recovery you need, and instructions on how to install them.
search for firmware 4.25.771.6 or 4.20.771.2 and you'll be on the right track.
x.x.771.x is always H3G__001.
I'm assuming this will be enough for you since not even I am unable to find the marshmallow firmware for H3G anywhere.
Wish you the best of luck.

No, searching for firmware won't help him, because he is S-On.
He has the OTA already downloaded, so going back to stock with the instructions and downloads provided in the link I posted is his best option.
And if "not even you" can find firmware for H3G, then this is the only option for updating to Marshmallow, short of going S-Off and flashing WWE/International firmware.
Also, in the title of the thread, going back to stock is what he requested.

Well, yeh. But ideally, depending on what his firmware is, he could just flash a nandroid of 4.25 and flash the corresponding custom recovery. Which is basically like going back to stock, but skipping loads of OTAs. Which is what I did.
Never the less, I didn't tell him to flash the firmware (although it is possible even with S-ON apparently), but I said that if he searched for that he would be on the right track.
Then almost anything he would have found could have helped him...a nandroid backup, or an RUU or even better advice than the one I'm able to give. (e.g. the ones I found while searching for the firmware myself)
The point is, I was simply giving directions

Before you download it make sure CID matches. Otherwise the install will abort.

HI Guys
Ive read through the forum link above all 24 pages and downloaded the relevant Stock Roms, the original from HTC and the Vodafone one. Ive got a little confused reading through all the posts. To flash the original stock rom over my current vodafone branded one what steps exactly do i need to take. People are mentioning the unlock via htc dev in the forums is this required to take it back to the original stock rom. I didnt see any clear steps on how to get this done. Anyone provide any help. Ive flashed my old phone numerous times but at present am a little worried about using the htcdev way. I know the developers are working on s-off is any of this needed for what im trying to do??
Thanks in Advance
Gav
you don't need to unlock to flash an official ROM.
Best way is to grab the RUU file that is correct for your device and flash that way. Its a windows executable you run whilst your phone is connected via fastboot.
edit: that would bring you back to the vodaphone crap. whoops. disregard but yes you don't need S-OFF or unlocked blootloader to flash original rom

Hi Mate
Thanks for this, just a quick question then im currently running 1.26.161.2 (vodafones ROM) and i want to use the original stock one from HTC 1.26.401.2 can i just overwrite vodafones with this one?
Gav
I too am a bit of a noob and have a voda branded hox on its way to me. I was under the impression that although we may be able to flash stock htc hox firmware onto the device, we won't be able to it 'properly' because of no proper s off or boot loader..... Or something..... And therefore won't be able to receive any OTA updates afterward....
Or am I talking rubbish and we CAN actually nicely and simply flash stock firmware on and forever after have no issues receiving offiCIAL OTA?
Also gav I don't even know if any stock RUU exist yet...?

Hi Mate
Yes i have the stock and vodafone rom downloaded i got it on here from the developers section. We should be able to install these RUU updates as it doesnt require s-off or to use the htcdev method as least from my understanding.
Sorry to bump this thread, but I'm currently looking for the Original Stock ROM for the HTC One X.
I came across this thread in my search, but the link in the first post is no longer active.
Is there an updated link ?

Mate, first you must know exactly what are you looking for. There are numerous links around here with different versions of stock ROMs.
You need your phone's CID and main version.
Only after that you will search, download and flash the stock ROM that ffits your phone.

I've checked my CID (Using command - fastboot getvar cid)
My CID comes up as : None
I am currently on Revolution HD 7.x ROM and wanted to update to the new 19.x ROM
The problem is when I try updating the hboot, it constantly fails.
I've downloaded the "x.xx.401.x - World Wide English (WWE)" version
A friend of mine has a stock standard One X from Vodafone and JB was just pushed out as an update for her.
I want to try and restore my phone back to the original ROM for that purpose. (also helps in case of warranty)
Have had a look but cant seem to find the original Vodafone ROM anywhere.

Download CID getter from Play Store. It should help.
Also fastboot getvar version-main is important for you, too.
Do not try to flash incorrect firmware!

This is good news! You need main version also. Then, go and check HERE. There are explanations and files that will help you. Download and flash (as per instructions) nandroid backup that matches your version. Once that finished, you will soon get notification about available update. Accept it, and you will have Vodafone stok JB. After that, do what ever you want with your phone

I'm trying to update the baseband on my phone, however whenever I flash the firmware nothing happens. The phone start, but the baseband is the same 1.16.
I have an international phone, I think. I live in Canada.
This is a Rogers phone.
Running custom rom ARHD 11.1
S-OFF
The CID is ROGER001
And the HID is 0P6B16000
baseband 1.16
buildnumber 2.22.401.5
I've tried downloading the 2.22.401.5 firmware from VomerGuides, I updated the phone, but no change. I would really like help with this. Am I using the wrong update? I don't know what the latest update is anyways, but 2.22 seams like that's the one, so why is my baseband not updating?

Update your Phone(Rogers) to the latest firmware first then update to the latest ARHD.
Firmware for your device and instructions on how to flash it can be found In this post by ckpv5
Note: It's the same post from ckpv5 that I got the backups from for the Rogers.
Thank you for your help. Do I follow all his steps from 1. Or just the firmware part? Since my phone is S-off and unlocked, or what ever it was, if I do everything from 1 will that brick my phone? Or will it be safe?
EDIT:
I followed all the instructions in the end. Ended up losing root. I had to unlock bootloader and get root back. so far, the phone is back up and running. Thank you for your help.

If you really followed the instructions correctly ... there is no instruction that say you need to relock bootloader :silly:
I'm very new to this, but SuperSU stopped working, it told me I lost root, and recovery (TWRP) was totally gone, at the time I did not know how to get that back ether, only after... Anyways, it was a good learning experience, I'm more glad the phone did not get bricked. Anyways thank you very much for your help.
EDIT:
How or where do you go to find out what the latest firmware is? I've tried looking everywhere, and if BerndM14 didn't point out your thread, I would have never found it.

[Discussion] HTC One M8 - Updates Can get some info about updates etc in that thread. Post 3 has a collection of OTA.zips but it's still a work in progress. You'll notice that the Rogers, Telus etc isn't on there, but it'll get there eventually. You can also just hop from that thread from time to time for general info about updates, firmware or otherwise.

[GUIDE] Return to stock for Canadian HTC One M8 (2014)
Some threads for Canadian users.
Another thread, even though it's actually for backups, a lot of people head over there for stock recoveries when new updates come out, so it's a nice one to get "on top" of news if you missed it in one of the other threads.
COLLECTION of Stock backup's
Thank you very much for pointing me to those threads. Time to figure out what some of there are used for...
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! ?
Hi.. I've not used my M8 for some time and I'd like to put it back on a stock rom and give it to my mother-in-law. Unfortunately I can't remember how to do much with regards to rooting, fuu, roms, etc, and I'm finding the forums a bit overwhelming.
It is an ATT phone, but the CID was changed to 11111111 so I could sim-unlock it. It's currently on 4.16.401.10, and on the ViperOneM8 v 4.6.1.
We need it to remain sim-unlocked, and on the stock rom.. I've looked around a little bit and found [tutorial] How to get back on stock with TWRP Stock Nandroid Backups. I've downloaded M8_6.12.401.4_WWE_FullStock.zip - if I flash this in TWRP will it return the phone to a stock rom, and will receive OTA updates?
Thank you for any help or answers you can give me,

You can't flash it in recovery. You need to flash it in fastboot, or via SDcard/hboot.
I've given instructions to another user recently on the ViperOneM8 thread. You can see them here.

If you want to keep WWE firmware, yes.
If you want to go back to AT&T firmware (and this is probably a better option for you), there is another way.
Go here (HTC's US website). Scroll down to the Manual System Update Instructions, and read them. There is an RUU download at the end of the instructions.
Hi,good afternoon,my friend brought me his HTC one m9,because i have experience with these things, i have flashed many devices of different brands but this is my first HTC device.
Well the problem is this:
He unlocked the botloader,installed TWRP ,super SU.zip (via twrp) and a custom rom with s-on,after that he lost signal,the phone does not have imei and baseband is uknown.
I've searched trough xda ,before posting this,so i came across with a thread that said that the phone can recover signal flashing a custom rom and a kernel,did that with no success. And also i've read that returning the bootloader to locked status,will allow me to flash a RUU file in order to get back to stock.
So, i relocked the bootloader,using CMD, but now the phone just boots into bootloader ,i can enter download mode aswell,but its stucked there.
Phone is recognized by windows,via fastboot.
So,the phone status is bootloader relocked,and s-on.
i´ve tried flashing the RUU via sdcard on download mode and gives me error,also i tried using fastboot commands and the result is the same,i can not flash the RUU file.
Any suggestions are very apreciated. Thanks fot your time.

For download mode SD card method:
Make sure you're using an external SD card, not internal storage.
Make sure SD card is formatted properly.
Make sure file is named 100% correctly and is meant for that specific carrier /model.
No reason it shouldn't work.

Are you sure you flashed the correct one? Some basic information about firmware versions, RUUs and instructions how to flash them can be found in my sticky thread in the general section.
Concerning the reception problem: It's important whether you tried to use a sense-based custom rom or a non-sense-based one. The mono-kernel only works with non-sense roms like CM or Candysix. Moreover the reception problem has been covered in this thread some days ago. If you want to use a sense-based rom the re-flash boot.img "trick" might be working for you, too.
Sidenote: There is absolutely no need for flashing SuperSU if you are going to erase the system and to flash a custom com. It doesn't harm the device but it's a waste of time.

Yes I flashed the one for my operator. Can I flash another RUU?
About your links, I'll check them when I get back from work. Thanks.
Is your phone branded by your carrier? (Can be checked by looking at the SKU of the currently installed firmware.) If not then it's the wrong RUU. Is the RUU made for the same firmware version as the one that is currently installed on the phone or does the RUU even have a newer version? If not then it's the wrong RUU.

You still didn't mention the name of the RUU you wanted to flash. However a quick search for your SKU (Telcel Mexico) showed me that there is no RUU available you could use. The only one I could find is linked in my thread and that one is too old for your phone since you can't downgrade the firmware with S-ON. You either need to re-unlock the bootloader, flash a sense-based custom rom and buy the sunshine app or try to find someone who has a java card. Both solutions would set the phone S-OFF so that you would be able to use that old RUU. Alternatively you could contact Llabtoofer (a link can be found in my thread and in my google sheet). He has a RUU service with RUUs that are not available publicly*. Neither the sunshine app, nor a java nor the RUU service are for free. Llabtoofer and the sunshine app cost nearly the same. I don't know how much you need to pay for java card services. Be aware that even if it's OK if the phone is running a custom right now** and you don't want to use any of these solutions that you still lack a way back to stock if a new OTA (like the one for Android N) gets distributed and therefore you won't be able to install it.
If you use the old RUU all OTAs that got installed on your phone will need to get re-installed.
However you choose you should read the tab "make your own backup" of my sheet after the phone got recovered and all available OTAs got installed but before anyone starts flashing anything, again. This way you will learn how to create a backup that will help you out if you face such a situation, again. Instructions how to restore such a backup correctly can be found in the tab "twrp backups".You'll always need to create a new backup when a new OTA got installed on your phone and you want to re-root it. Besides if you're willing you could upload the backup (and any upcoming ones) and share it(/them) with the xda community by posting the download link(s) in my thread.
* He wants to know the hboot version of your phone of you request his help. Since the One M9 has no hboot but an aboot and that one never got updated you can enter version 1.0.0.0000. That's the current aboot version.
** Possible solutions for recovering the reception can be found in my first post in this thread. There is no need to flash a RUU since your IMEI and your baseband are still intact but the boot.img of the rom you tried to use was/is incompatible.

You still didn't mention the name of the RUU you wanted to flash. However a quick search for your SKU (Telcel Mexico) showed me that there is no RUU available you could use. The only one I could find is linked in my thread and that one is too old for your phone since you can't downgrade the firmware with S-ON. You either need to re-unlock the bootloader, flash a sense-based custom rom and buy the sunshine app or try to find someone who has a java card. Both solutions would set the phone S-OFF so that you would be able to use that old RUU. Alternatively you could contact Llabtoofer (a link can be found in my thread and in my google sheet). He has a RUU service with RUUs that are not available publicly*. Neither the sunshine app, nor a java nor the RUU service are for free. Llabtoofer and the sunshine app cost nearly the same. I don't know how much you need to pay for java card services. Be aware that even if it's OK if the phone is running a custom right now** and you don't want to use any of these solutions that you still lack a way back to stock if a new OTA (like the one for Android N) gets distributed and therefore you won't be able to install it.
If you use the old RUU all OTAs that got installed on your phone will need to get re-installed.
However you choose you should read the tab "make your own backup" of my sheet after the phone got recovered and all available OTAs got installed but before anyone starts flashing anything, again. This way you will learn how to create a backup that will help you out if you face such a situation, again.

Ok,thanks, and yes,the RUU I was trying to flash I the telcel one.
I'm going to tell my fiend that he needs to pay in order to get his phone working.
Thanks again for everything. Have a nice day.
Update
I managed to unlock the bootloader again, the phone boots, but it has no signal.
Do I need sunshine and then flash any ruu?
Or what can I do? BTW my friend agreed to pay for sunshine.

Is it a sense-based rom? If yes, did you reflash the stock boot.img? Or is it a non-sense-based rom? In that case the mono kernel which is linked above needs to be flashed for recovering the reception.
If you're currently using a sense-based rom (which is not an HTC 10 port - e.g. Viper one m9 4.3) then you can install the sunshine app and start it. The app will explain the rest of the procedure. Just google "sunshine s-off" and you'll find it. After your phone got S-OFF you simply need to try reflashing the RUU.

The phone has the ICE rom,Twrp and superSU,I think it's a sense-based rom, sorry I can't give you more info, as I said I'm new in flashing HTC, but I'm learning thanks to you.
ICE is sense-based. It's using HTCs own launcher and framework which is called Sense. Examples for non-sense-based roms are CM, CandySix or other AOSP roms.
Depending on the version of ICE that got flashed on the phone you might need to revert back to an older version*. The newest ICE rom is based on an HTC 10 port and I've read several posts of users reporting that they couldn't use sunshine with an HTC 10 port.
* I don't know which version that would be. I've never used ICE so you would need to figure that out on your own.

So basically, no matter what rom I flash,sense or no sense based, I will need sunshine in order to have a working baseband?
No. Sunshine is needed for getting back to stock for installing upcoming OTAs. And in case you want to use a sense-based roms it's needed for being able to backup the stock boot.img. As explained before, you need to re-flash that one after you flashed the custom rom. The boot.img of 3.35.y (y is a placeholder for any possible number) custom roms isn't compatible with 3.x firmware if x is not equal to 35 (as in your case). At the moment your only option for not having to use sunshine would be flashing a non-sense-based rom and the kernel I linked in an earlier post. But as explained before you wouldn't be able to install upcoming updates like the one for Android N if you choose not to use sunshine.
