TWRP straight back to BootLoader - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently installed Firmware and another ROM (RUU) they went thru successfully but only updated to Lollipop 5.01 which i thought was strange.. well anyway, i flashed TWRP and now it says entering recovery for about a second then goes back to the Boatloader page (fastboot etc) tried to restart and try again and it does the same every time..tried re-flashing TWRP and still does the same.. any ideas please?

Forgot to mention, i need recovery to change the MID ..have tried manually without success.
Thank you

Try wipe cache, and flash TWRP again.
Make sure its TWRP version 2.8.7.0 or 3.0.0.0. Some folks have been trying to flash older versions, some of which don't work on LP or later.

Thank you, tried fastboot erase cache and flashed 2.8.7.0 and it still does the same thing.. i already flashed 3.0.0.1 before - would you know how to change the MID without having to use recovery? once i have changed that i can get the European RUU installed on my device - i have changed the CID already .. the phone was US on T-Mobile but i'm wanting it on UK O2 now ..thank you again

Did you flash TWRP before booting up at least once?
RUU to marshmallow doesn't seem to exist yet. (aka I haven't found one)
So update to 4.25 firmware which is lollipop 5.0.2 - I think.
Then allow phone to boot (make sure to have stock recovery), go through with all the OTAs which will come.
Once OTAs are completed successfully feel free to flash TWRP back.

Hi and thanks again, to be honest i dont know what i've done.. i got the phone from eBay..new M8 but when i spoke to HTC they said the phone was US on T-Mobile.. i just wanted to change the CID & MID so i can install a European ROM maybe O2 or something ..i'm really quite new to this ..i had a M7 before which i did manage to flash and update to LP but with this M8 i'm struggling .. i just downloaded Firmware 4.25.651.18.zip ..which ROM would be best to use with this please? i'm sorry for my lack of knowledge here.. and should i wipe the phone completely? factory format as i cannot get into Recovery..
Thanks again
Sorry, i'm getting this when i try to flash that Firmware

hi again, the reason the original ROM did not instal was because i had changed the CID to a European one and was trying to instal a US TMOB ROM ..i changed the the CID back to a SuperCID 1st then installed the ROM and then changed the CID back to the original T-MOB010 CID so i could get all the OTA updates ..i will just leave it at this for now as i thought originally i had bricked my M8 - after the 1st flash the phone went into a boot loop :/ ...anyway, it's all sorted now and doing the many OTA updates but this particular one only updates to LP 5.01 .... i'm just wondering how i could get it to update to 5.02 or even 6.0? i will still try and change the CID & MID when i have enough information and am completely confident (and have a spare phone) then instal a European ROM and see if that get me the updates - thanks for the help

Perfect, so you figured it out Well Done.
Yeh, the best way is by changing MID and CID then flashing what you wish.
I wouldn't know since I am S-on.

I used Sunshine S-Off to do that.. payed the $25 ..its really easy and don't take long.
As for the phone, i think i'm going to do some serious research before i attempt anything like that again - its all up and running again, i'm not even going to flash TWRP this time until i really need it .. it's currently updated to 5.01 which i can live with.. i just wanted to taste a bit of Marshmallow i suppose it's a waiting game now - thanks again

How did you come about picking that firmware? Its not for T-Mobile US, its for Sprint.
In fact, its a good thing the firmware failed to install. If it succeeded, it may have bricked your phone due to partitioning differences between the Sprint version and most other M8 versions.
Be very careful about what firmware you flash. Don't flash any firmware you if you aren't 100% sure its the right one you should be using.

Before we head in that direction, you need to understand a couple things about changes made requiring s-off. By definition s-off means that all (or at least most) security checks are off. So this means:
1) Changing the MID is a bit risky, in that you are manually editing/modifying memory blocks (not sure if "block" is technically the right term, but I think you understand what I'm getting at) using adb. Enter the command incorrectly (and modify the wrong memory block), and you can brick the phone! You have to be extremely careful about the process of changing the MID, and double check and triple check every single commands is correct (not a single typo) before pressing "Enter".
2) As mentioned above, flashing firmware also requires close attention and care. You need to be 100% of the firmware you are flashing. Once you've changed the MID, you are bypassing the very safety check that is designed to prevent bricks (from flashing the wrong firmware).
If you are prepared to use extreme caution and exercise the required care, then we can proceed with what you want to do (change MID, flash Euro RUU so that you can "convert" the phone to official Euro version, with full OTA updates).
Although another method (if you don't mind the lack of OTA updates) is to ensure you are on LP firmware (or flash T-Mobile US firmware or RUU to get to LP firmware). Then flash a MM custom ROM (which should work fine with LP firmware). This direction is much safer, as its nearly impossible to brick the phone flashing the firmware meant for your original CID/MID or from flashing a custom ROM.
Really, the lack of OTA is not a big deal, in my opinion. The custom (or near stock) ROMs get updated just as fast as the official OTAs (in fact, often faster depending on which CID you are talking about) so you can continue to keep updated by flashing custom ROMs. Honestly, this is my 3rd HTC phone, and the number of times I've installed official OTA updates is zero, due to the fact that the ROMs posted by devs here are just as good (or better) and just as timely.

Thank you for the advice & tips... the phone is S-Off (Sunshine) and bootloader Unlocked - all i'm wanting to do is go from T-Mobile US to a UK ROM like maybe O2 ..i'm on the giffgaff which run on the O2 network ... i have been searching for the correct Firmware without success - i have RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_O2_UK_4.20.206.1_Radio_1.25.21331147A1.06G_20.69.4196.01_F_release_414450_signed
but just need to find the correct firmware to flash so i can instal this.. any ideas please? am very new to this and don't completely understand how to find the correct FW for a particular RUU

I discovered the reason TWRP was not flashing properly... i needed to update to Android 5.01 1st then flash TWRP custom recovery..that all works well now and i have recovery back but just put MID_Changer_03.07.14 on my phone and ran it in recovery - it all worked great but when i checked the MID it hadnt changed so ran again an still no change - i'm wanting to change that too 0P6B1000 (Europe) then the CID to HTC__032 ...then i will try to instal the above RUU - does this all sound like the right thing to do? i have been trying to find the right firmware for that RUU but cannot seem to find one or rather don't know what i am looking for - thanks again

Are you s-off? If not, you need to be s-off to change the mid.

There is a proven method for changing MID on the M8, and that is not it.

I flash differnt firmware from OP i think... i'm still none the wiser though.. my updates OTA to 5.01 but i'm sure i can get 6.0 with sense 7.0 if i use a UK ROM but i need the correct firmware for that particular ROM and i do not know what to look for - the MID Changer was here http://www.droidviews.com/change-cid-mid-htc-one-devices/ thanks

Looks like you flashed an older firmware (really old, as in Kitkat Android 4.4.2), based on Post #10 (versus what you had originally in Post #1).

That isn't for the M8. If you look at that webpage's "Source" it links to the XDA One M7 section. That mod is for the M7, not the M8.
You're lucky it didn't brick the phone. I've already stated above in Post #6 how dangerous MID changing can be, if not performed properly. But it seems that you've chosen to ignore that advice.
No offense intended, it seems you are going about things rather recklessly. Already you've flashed an incorrect old T-Mobile firmware, tried flashing the firmware for the wrong version (Verizon) and now tried changing the MID with a mod for the M7. There is a proper process to change the MID on the M8. But I'm hesitant to lead you to that (of course, you can find it yourself - but that's your own deal), as you haven't demonstrated you are capable of the proper carefulness. And frankly, I don't want you messing with things that can easily brick your phone.
My suggestion would be to flash back to 4.20.531.5 firmware (if its not the current firmware) then just leave it that way until T-Mobile releases Marshmallow. Alternately, install a custom recovery (unlocked bootloader required, if its not presently), and simply flash a MM ROM; which should work find with LP firmware. These options are relatively safe, and don't require you messing with the MID.

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?

Just did it before your reply! Sorry I forgot to include it initially.
I saw it ... you have T-MOB US version-main on EU device.
If you want it to be stock EU lollipop 4.16.401.10, this thread is for you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
Or you can simply run RUU.exe - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleeTQ5U1NzNkZzM0U/edit?pli=1
RUU will flash your entire phone back to stock including recovery
HTC One M8 - OTA Update Error

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.

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.

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.

[Q] Need to update?

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?

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
john_matrix said:

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.

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.

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

Failed
Tried nandroid backup
M8_UL_TWRP_Nandroid_6.12.401.4.zip
succefully flashed backup but stuck on htc logo
Failed
Please help
What is the problem? Is it not booting into the ROM?
when there was boot.the phone at the startup gave (unfortunately------- has stopped)error and also no back key home key visible.
wiped the device. it was all same.
tried RUU it was the same
unlocked the boot loader
and flashed
stock recovery
twrp recovery
then tried nandroid backup restore
the restore was succefull but the phone wont reach startup (tried 1Hour max)
one peculiar thing i notice.earlier when it was booting to startup i was unable to copy anything to internal or external memory as it would say device not ready or disconnected.but i was able to browse the folders.
My opinion partition problem.Need others help to sort out
Note all the files i have mentioned is checked with md5

None of these will ever work on your device, in the s-on configuration. The RUUs containing "BrightstarUS" are for the US Developer's Edition. They won't run on your phone, as they will fail CID and MID checks (your device has CID and MID - can't change these with s-on).
The one labeled "Europe" is for an older version (Lollipop) than what is installed on the phone (Marshmallow). This will fail version check. By definition, you can't "downgrade" by RUU with s-on
with bootloader locked/unlocked state;

with s-on, its absolutely mandatory to have a locked or relocked bootloader to flash RUU. Unlocked bootloader will make it fail

This is the correct RUU for your version, and should run with s-on. Saying it "Failed" with no other info, is not enough. Were their any error messages, other outputs, etc.? What commands did you use to run it? Were you in fastbootRUU mode?
I would suggest trying to run this again, with the bootloader RELOCKED, and you also need to use htc_fastboot, as the "generic" fastboot will not work with RUU.

I can't tell what you are referring too, as the statement is really vague. Can you give more details?

Its best if you posted the solution, and what the mistake was. Useful for those helping (to see whether we sent you on the right path), as well as anyone else reading which may have the same or similar issue.
No mistake is that silly when it comes to these devices. Its often just specific knowledge that was missing, or a detail you didn't catch before (which is an honest mistake, either way).
