[Q] Need to update? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
With the release of new firmwares for our M8, I am a little bit lost with the versions
Currently, my M8 have the following setup:
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-1.25.214500021.06G
OpenDSP-v48.2.2-00564-M8974_F0.1211
As I am using Android 6 GPe H10 ROM (but I don't exclude to reinstall a Sense ROM), maybe a new firmware (Bootloader, Radio, etc...) exist and is adviced to install?
Many thanks in advance!

Is there an OS number listed on the bootloader screen, or is it blank?
Do fastboot getvar all (if you know how) and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number).

Indeed, there is no OS version in the "OS-" field

Yes, the blank main version and SuperCID (11111111) does make it hard to determine your CID and main version. Unfortunately, model number 0P6B10000 (Euro version) has quite a few unbranded and branded CIDs (and main versions) associated with it.
On the other hand, you are already using an Android 6 ROM, and updating the firmware would probably have minimal (if any) benefit. I'm using the Developers Edition Sense Marshmallow ROM, and haven't even bothered to update to MM firmware. Despite the fact that I fully know what my main version and CID are, and can pretty easily update it. MM runs fine on the LP firmware, so I haven't felt the need to update.

Originally, my CID was ORANG203 but I replaced it to SuperCID in order to don't be bothered by flashing
However, thanks for telling me that upgrading the firmware will not add any benefits to my M8, so I will let it "as is"

You sure about the CID? I don't see it on the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
And the thread seems to be pretty comprehensive, in my experience (at least for Euro CIDs).

You're right, it was ORANG202
I have found back the log of the operation

Don't see that CID on the thread either. If it was a known CID ( with files on the linked thread) the process to update the firmware if you chose to do so would be to restore the stock 4.xx nandroid corresponding to your CID, restore the stock recovery, then OTA update to install the Marshmallow firmware.
But as already discussed, if everything is working fine, there is very little (if any) reason to update the firmware at this time.

Thanks for the advice, so I will not update anything if nothing new or nothing will be improved

Some would say, as a general rule its usually best for your firmware to correspond with your software (ROM).
But my phone has been working perfectly running Marshmallow ROM on LP firmware. So I have to assume the changes are very minor. And if you have had a similar experience, I don't see a compelling reason to change, either. Especially if the stock nandroid collection doesn't have files listed for your CID/version number anyway (although if you like, you could ask ckpv5 if he has access to them and could post - he's pretty amazing that way). Basically, if you don't have the stock ROM and stock recovery, or alternately the RUU or signed firmware.zip for your version; there is no way to update, anyway.

How to update my M8 S-off SuperCid and TWRP?

hello guys,
I bought this used M8 last night, it was on Kitkat 4.4.4 with the 3.30.651.2 firmware and I wanted to update it to marshmallow (ota not available). I tried this one HTC_One_M8_GPe_Marshmallow-6.0_MRA58K.H9.zip throught the recovery, no error during install, after finishing it, it says no operating system installed, ok, I tried with terminal (adb) it says couldnt load the zip, ok, tried this 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_464360_signed.zip, error with hboot,ok, tried this RUU RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_6.12.1540.4.exe, it says firmware not compatible (I dont know why since I am s-off and super carrier!?)
the seller told me, the phone is from UK, T-mobile unlocked, but the firmware says its a Sprint one.
All I want now is lollipop or marshmallow, not kitkat !
can you help me please ? just tell me where I messed up, I have some knowledge with android (samsung and LG) but I am kinda noob with HTC (my first phone)
thank you !
NB: the bootloader is unlocked

You still need to match MID (not just CID) to run an RUU.
But its a good thing you did not successfully run those RUUs. Since your are most likely the Sprint version (based on the firmware number), it would have resulted in a brick (radio brick) if either of those RUUs installed.
You can't run other version RUUs on the Sprint M8, or you will brick.
To verify you have the Sprint (and I'm pretty sure already) do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number).
here it is

Yes, its the Sprint version. The product name (m8_whl) along with the main version number confirm this.
If the seller claimed it was T-Mobile, its incorrect. Depending on what you want from the device, this can be a big difference. For instance, you can't convert the Sprint version to be international (as already mentioned, running another version RUU will brick it). You may consider returning the phone due to incorrect, misleading description; if that is an option.
If you do choose to keep the device, you can update with the MM Sprint RUU at the bottom of the following page: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-sprint/news/
Thank you my friend, I thought when the phone is S-off and superCid it means its like a full unlocked international version, I learnt something today , now I am gonna follow your link and give a feedback later.
one last question, is there a risk for losing the simlock after the update ?

M8 starting up in Fastboot, won't load installed ROM

I've stuffed something up along the way and now my M8 seems to refuse to load any ROM I've installed on it. What's the best way to go about fixing this? It's unlocked with S-Off.
Flashing an RUU is a silver bullet for starting over, as an RUU formats all your device's partitions and flashes them with stock images.
You'll need to provide CID & MID or your current firmware version (i.e. 4.16.401.10) if you need help locating a compatible RUU.
Cheers
Need some more details to see why the phone won't boot into OS after flashing a ROM.
Is an OS number indicated on the bootloader screen? If so, what is it?
What version TWRP?
What ROMs have you tried?

I've tried flashing a few different RUUs and they all come out with an error 155. Googling it suggests I need to relock my bootloader but locking it and running the RUU again gives me the same error. I'm using SuperCID 11111111 and my MID is 0P6B70000. Currently on firmware 4.16.1540.8.

My OS number is 4.16.1540.8, I've tried TWRP 2.7.0.1, 2.8.7.0 and 3.0.0.0, roms I've tried include CM13, SkyDragon and a stock TWRP backup I found in another thread here.

Your MID and firmware number don't jive; and it can indicate something pretty dangerous (and possibly a radio bricked phone).
Need more info on what you've done.
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete serial number and IMEI before posting).
Was the phone new and stock (unmodified) when you got it; or did it have a previous owner?
Please list all the mods you have applied (s-off, changed CID, changed MID? etc.).
Ok, here's what getvar all reports:

I bought the phone second-hand, it was running a custom ROM (SkyDragon) with cid already set to 11111111 and I wanted to return it to stock. I got the Unlocked/Developer RUU from HTC's site but that didn't start up for me so I tried a bunch of stuff, fiddling with firmwares and unlocking/relocking bootloader and so on but in the end the RUU just hadn't downloaded properly. Once I managed to get the RUUs to run they've all come up with error 155 when they start the flash and flashing the rom.zip direct gives me an error (I forget if it's the same or different)
I've also tried restoring assorted TWRP backups, installing new roms and so on, directly flashing boot.img, things seem to flash ok but the phone just boots direct into fastboot.
Update: I'm not sure what went differently this time but I've installed the latest Cyanogenmod nightly and it's starting up as expected.
I'd like to get back to stock though. What's the best way to go about doing this? The phone was already modified when I got it so I'm not sure what it would've had on it when it was purchased originally.
Edit: A bit of googling suggests this is a Sprint handset (I dismissed this to begin with since I'm in Australia and didn't think it'd be an overseas handset, but ok) so I've flashed 6.20.651.3 firmware and am waiting for a matching RUU to download. Fingers crossed!
Edit again: All sorted now, thanks for your help!

Happy to see your sorted it out.
I agree it appears to be the Sprint version, based on the the MID (0P6B70000) and product name (m8_whl). While the MID can be modified, the product name is typically not (never seen a mod method for that - so the product name is very reliable).
That being said, I would strongly caution you moving forward, to not flash any firmware or RUU to this device except Sprint M8 firmware/RUU. Reason being, the partitioning on the Sprint phone is different from most other versions; and flashing another version's firmware can lead to a radio brick (phone boots, but nothing requiring the radio will work).

This is Sprint version, same as OP based on the model ID and product name. Although main version would indicate the Sprint Harmon Kardon version. RUU can be found at the bottom of the following webpage: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/
The M8x designation on the back cover can't be trusted in this case. The back cover has been replaced to remove the "Sprint" logo branding. We've seen several phones like this (back cover replaced to remove evidence of branding) on the forum. You have to go by the getvar data.
Also, be sure to remove your IMEI and serial number from the getvar output. These are personal data, and should never be posted online.

To run a Marshmallow RUU, you need to fastboot flash its firmware.zip first.
1. flash 6.20.651.3 firmware.zip
2. run RUU
You should be able to find the firmware.zip in Sprint section
Or you try to find one version lower (lollipop) than 6.20.651.3 RUU, run it then do OTA to 6.20.651.3

HTC One M8 Variant software detected - unable to OTA update

Hello - I am moving from an iPhone to an Android and decided to get an HTC One M8. I am new to the community and the concepts of unlocking/rooting etc so I apologize for the basic questions. I've been searching forums and I'm not sure I've found a clear answer so I thought I'd ask directly.
I bought the device as an unlocked international GSM device - that was what was advertised. I just got it and went to update it and I get the message Variant software detected - unable to OTA update.
I'd like to get the phone up to Android 6 Marshmallow. It is currently 5.0.1. I'd prefer the OTA updates to work but I don't mind learning how to manually flash new versions.
Here is the information from the fastboot getvar all

From the product m8_ul_ca it looks like the phone is actually an AT&T (US) - Is that correct?
The MID here is 0P6B12000 but on the back of the phone it is 0P6B100. I'm not sure why there's a discrepancy or if that matters.
The CID is 11111111.
From my research I understand I need to find a proper firmware variant and flash it and then I need to find the proper ROM variant and flash it as well.
Is that correct?
I'm not sure what variant I should look for since the MID in the vars and on the phone disagree. If someone could help get me figure out what variant(s) I should use and the point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.
If there's a simpler way to get the OTA update to work I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance for your help.
It depends on what you want your device to be.
Most important where your location is.
If you are in US
Since the MID is 0P6B12000 - you can flash the Developer Edition 6.12.1540.4 firmware then install 6.12.1540.4 RUU.exe to make it fully Developer Edition device
If you are in EU
You need to change MID from 0P6B12000 to 0P6B10000 then install EU WWE 6.12.401.4 RUU.zip to make it fully EU WWE device

Thanks for the help!
I followed the instructions in the link below to update the phone to the developer edition. I have learned so much in the last few days and I really appreciate the community with so much information. It is very satisfying to have worked through the issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/change-wwe-m8-to-dev-edition-ota-t2826567

I am stuck, i need to update my phone...

So I really need some help.. last time I updated my phone it was somewhere 2015 so I am totally lost.
In the picture you can see my settings. I am on viper 4.6.1 and I really would like to update to Android 6.0.
Because I am on viper I need to do a official ota.. I can't find y cid number anywhere. So I hope someone can point me in the correct destination. Or is it possible to do a clean wipe and install Android Revolution HD with already a Android 6.0 (or another rom with 6.0) then do a clean wipe and install the new viper 6.0 Android.?
I really hope someone can help me.

you're still with LP firmware. post a fastboot getvar all without serial and imei to choose a firmware or ruu wich matches to your device.

I will post it tomorrow, just can home from Paris.
It's not possible to just clear all and flash a other rom with Android 6.0?

No it isn't, as your device is still on Android 5 firmware. ROMs based on Android 6 need the appropriate firmware to be installed first. To update your firmware you need to perform a backup or use a RUU according to your fastboot getvar all command (more precise to your current firmware, CID and MID), as you are still S-ON. Once done this you can take all available OTA to update ROM and firmware. Only after this you could flash TWRP and an actual Android 6 based Custom ROM. Only way to update your firmware to the latest one, and flash a Custom ROM right after it, would need S-OFF.

you have to go to latest firmware through OTA. as your device is a rare one. can't find a mm ruu for it (6.12.114.4). but you can update step by step through OTA. later you can install a custom rom.
1) restore 4.19.114.2 TWRP backup.
2) flash 4.19.114.2 stock recovery.
3) check update & install.

I haven't seen any issues posted about running MM ROMs with LP firmware, and in fact I've been doing it for over 9 months now. In fact, MM ROMs will likely work fine on the OPs phone.
Its not like when folks were trying to run LP ROMs on KK firmware (or MM ROMs with KK firmware, for that matter) which would result in broken WiFi and/or extreme slow boot/no boot. It seems not much was changed in the MM firmware.
But you are correct, in that having the most up to date firmware is best for ROM compatibility.

Yeah it was referring to my experiences an the M8 and M9 having long boot up times cause by some little issues between ROM base and firmware. To avoid such problems I always flashed the latest firmware, so I won't run into such kind of problems, just to make sure. Thanks for the heads up.

Here is list with firmwares https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aNd_nm4Em1wamRLFT7qHM2c3O9_sg_H3ztBrGq1u9Ws/pubhtml
I think 6.12.401.4 International will work for you,but I'm not 100% sure. After this, u can flash the last recovery.
How to flash firmware:
1. fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
2. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
3.fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
and wait for process to complete , sometimes first time fail so do it again
Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution! The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output to make sure it is safe to reboot! The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type:
4.fastboot reboot-bootloader

I'm not sure you know what "firmware" means for this device.
The firmware file suggested in the previous response is not a full ROM, RUU (which is about 1.5 GB); but rather just a small file which contains hboot, radio, kernel, stock recovery and a few other things (only about 80 MB). The firmware is needed for the phone to work, but does not actually contain the ROM. I suspect you may actually want the full stock ROM, RUU, etc.
Further, your firmware is already updated to the latest (last) for your device, as indicated by main version 6.12.401.4 in your getvar output. Flashing firmware again is usually not needed, unless you have some specific issue with radio, audio, etc.
You need to explain what happened to your phone specifically (chain of events, specific issues, etc.), in as much detail as possible. And why you "need" the firmware.
Posting your getvar is correct and smart. But asking a question with a single line, does not sufficiently describe what you are asking for, or why.

You mean T-Mobile US? Which version number RUU exactly?
This is what I mean by providing as much detail as possible. We can't properly troubleshoot the problem, if you give us vague, incomplete information.
Did you try anything (flash firmware, RUU, etc.) after flashing the T-Mob RUU?

This is beyond confusing. I still can't help, as I can't tell what you did, or what you are trying to do.
Why is this getvar different from before? Did you do something more to the phone?
Please describe step-by-step, in as much detail as possible, what you did, and include the file names and version numbers of the files you flashed. Don't leave any steps out.
Also, why did you flash RUU in the first place, and what were you trying to accomplish?
