[Q] Many questions

Hi, Im really sick of my HOX. I have so many questions.
I had official stock rom in my HOX, but it have Wi-Fi issue - 3.18.401.1. So I badly decide to install custom rom, I didnt took a nandroid backup of the stock rom and the only one i took is rooted rom. Then I installed CM 10.1 and the wi-fi issue disapear, thats good, but it is very unoptimized for HOX - battery, USB cable, photos,... So I need to back to stock. Thats my story and I have many questions:¨
1)To go back to stock I need RUU or there is more options?¨
2)I cant use any RUU because I had installed the latest firmware. Can I change the version of firmware in my phone to use RUU?
3)Who depevelop RUUs? How can I officially get it? When they are going to release new version of RUU?
4)To go back to stock need I the same version of I had (3.18.401.1) or newer?
5)Can HTC (I can pay for it) flash me the original ROM, if I have voided the warranty?
Thank you for your responds. I m really nervous because I need it as soon as possible because I fly to the USA and I want to have reliable mobile device with WIFI. SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

Thank you so much, i forgot one problem, When i restored the only one nandroid backup I have, it boots but touchscreen did not function. So can you suggest me how to back to stock ASAP.

HTC releases RUU's. Those are the official updates. Haven't seen an hBoot update for the HOX for awhile. It was a know issue that the 3.18 base has wifi issues. You can switch to any ROM with 3.19 base (most of them) and your wifi issues should clear up. Sense ROM's for me have always seemed to be less glitchy/more stable than non-sense.

1. Either a RUU or a nandroid backup. There are plenty of stock backups available on XDA.
2. No
3. HTC develops them. They are never official releases, they're leaked by HTC staff.
4. Same or newer.
5. I guess so but there are easier (and cheaper) ways of doing it.

Can you write me a link with instructions and nandroid backups of stock android.

RUU's are stock. Here is the link to the web page you want http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140308 . You need to find the right RUU for your phone depending on where it was manufactured at. You'll just have to read a bit to figure that out. HTC won't individually send you a RUU, you just have to download it.

Yes the second link is good. Thanks a lot, but I am so dump and I certainly make a mistake. I will write if i succes or not

Cm 10.1 isn't bad on the hox at all I get between 3 -4 hours screen time per charge.

The 3.18 and 1.29 are referring to two completely different things. You can update, forget about the 3.18 with RUU's. Put this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDMsIm9yZy50cml0b25zb2Z0LmNpZGdldHRlciJd on your phone and it will tell you your CID. Write this down or something. It should look like HTC_001, or something similar. Then you can go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 and look for your CID and download and flash and you'll be back to stock.

Wouldn't say you're dumb. I've bricked a couple phones in my time in rooting. Just take your time and if you feel like something is wrong then STOP and ask. That's the best advice I can give, so you're doing the right thing:good:

1) There is written that "Boot back to bootloader and flash the appropriate recovery file to match your stock rom which you are restoring (See links below)" but there is no for 3.18.401.1 can I use the recovery.img from the backup or there is no option?
2) If I succesfull restore the backup can I lock the bootloader?

Sorry but Im really stressed. I have to learn many things to school, I have to back to stock my HOX so I am in time pressure! I cant sleep I cant eat! I have flu! :crying: Sorry for all stupid things i done and I really thank to all of you who responds me and helps me I hope I succesfully do that stuff tommorow! And one hopefully last question can I use it in case of warranty after that or not?

Warranty depends on hardware issues or not. They know the bootloader was unlocked, because it says relocked and not locked again. So they might won't give warranty.
But please stay in one thread now !

As I predict some more problems and questions:
1) If I try to use the recovery it says MD5 mischeck or something like that. I found the solution with using adb but if I try it, it wrote device not found, I cant use Massstorage (i dont know why).
2) If it will be succesful can I use OTA?

No offence, but you really shouldn't have been doing any of this in the first place.
You clearly understand nothing about any of the processes your trying to do.
1- Go into Recovery (CWM) and Mount USB
2- Now From your PC create a folder in the root of the storage and call it "clockworkmod"
3- In the "clockworkmod" folder create another folder named "backup"
4- Extract the .zip file in that folder (do not change the name of the folder extracted cause it could give md5sum problems)(also the folder name must not have any space between words)
5- Before continuing on the phone, open that folder from the pc and copy the boot.img in the folder that you prefer
6- Reboot phone into Fastboot mode and flash the boot.img by typing
Code:
CWM NAND: fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
TWRP NAND: fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
7- Reboot the phone into Recovery again
8- Go to Backup & Restore> restore> and here choose the folder previously extracted, and that's it
FOLLOW THESE AND TELL US WHICH NUMBER YOU GET STUCK AT. FIND THE RIGHT NANDROID TO START WITH !!!

Thank you for all who really help me
I thank all so much for your patient with me! I successfully went back to stock!

[Q] How to install Android Revolution HD

Hello,
I've been recently trying to install few times the Android Revolution HD 10.2 ROM however I always fail. Same happened with previous version.
After the ROM installs, i hit reboot and then nothing. It just freezes on the htc logo (with "developer" text) and nothing happens.
So my question is, what am I doing wrong?
I have no problems with installing ViperOne and all of the non-stock based ROMs.
I can't get S-OFF, so I hope it isn't neccessary
Please keep in mind that I'm pretty new at using HTC One m8, however I have experience with android.

If you have the HTC__001 cid or any which is WWE/ Europe you can and MUST flash the firmware.zip for 2.22.401.4 ...otherwise it won't boot or many things will be broken...all necessary things can be found in each Rom thread, how to flash things and what you need etc...Also which recovery do you use and did you flashed a few mods or so afterwards?

Ok, so I don't really know what this CID is. I've seen people talking about this but can't really tell what it is for. Is this some kind of ID a device, for which country it's meant?
You said "flash 2.22.401.4" firmware. Now I would have to find out how to do that (after I do that, will I be able to normally downgrade to 4.4.2 or will there be some problems?)
There's flashtool for Xperia's, Odin for Samsungs and is there a simillar software for HTC devices (I have something called All-In-One_Kit)?
I've seen also something like RUU, but I would need to fix fastboot, as it isn't working after fresh install of Windows.
My CID: HTC_032
Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.0
Kernel: Unknown, the one that comes with ViperOne (Already tried flashing ARHD with elementaX kernel)
Current version of firmware: 1.54.401.5

RUU isn't going to help you with any of this (s-off, flashing firmware packages, etc.). Its just to restore to a stock image (ROM, radio, hboot, recovery).
I really recommend you get fastboot working. You need adb/fastboot to get s-off anyway.
Toolkits are only of limited use. They don't do anything you can't do manually with a few adb or fastboot commands. And many would say if you can't handle doing these things manually, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at all.

Yeah, I would need RUU to get to stock 4.4.3.
I can't get s-off, firewater isn't working with my phone, and I don't want to choose the paid method, as I will probably soon change this device anyway.

I see what you're saying: RUU to stock, OTA to 4.4.3 to get the firmware package, then unlock bootloader again, install custom recovery and install ARHD.

Exactly, or RUU already to 4.4.3 skipping the ota.

Thank You, You gave me so much information I needed to know more about this device.
I've found a link like this but I can't find my cid
So for example flashing "CID HTC__001" file would brake my device?
P.S. I'm currious what would happen if I flashed wrong CID firmware. Could You tell me more about flashing wrong one. Would it work normally, had some issues, wouldn't boot or wouldn't I be even able to flash this?
EDIT: Hehe, the link I provided is Mr hofs thread. So what now, if my CID isn't there? Can I just use any version that is for Europe, like eg. germany?
EDIT 2: Flashed stock, deodexed ROM 4.4.3, but still no luck with ARHD

If you are now s-off just get super cid with fastboot oem writecid 1111111 I hope enough ones xD or just write a cid like HTC__001 ... If you have further questions write me a pm and we can talk over hangouts or pm here... easier to follow the progress

Ok, finally got it.
I had to flash "SkyDragon+M8+Sense+444+Kernel+V2.0.1".
Now it's testing time.
Let's see if this ROM is so good.
EDIT: There's nothing cool in this ROM
Going back to skydragon.

Yea arhd is like stock Rom and yea nothing special about it

Hahaha aww man, do you not read what each ROM does before installing it so you know beforehand what you're getting yourself into?

Nah, I didn't. I saw many people were using it so I thought it must be good, but it isn't (no special features).
However I wanted to learn how to make it work, and I must say that the htc is the weirdest phone I ever had. Flashing a rom can't be done logically, here nothing works as it should in theory
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore

I often see people who aren't able to get arhd working...but I really don't know why..the normal cwm recovery doesn't work as it should...use instead twrp or Philz...both are working foo and with Philz backup and restore is working where in twrp most of the m8 are having problems :/ I really don't have problems to install a custom Rom.
I got the phone, tried it one day stock, wanted to get a custom Rom, unlocked boot loader flashed custom recovery and afterwards Rom and elementalx kernel...without problems.. few months later was able to do s-off with sunshine and after that most things where again easier

Do you have unlocked bootloader? If you have, just install adb and fastboot drivers, then plug m8 into pc and enter fastboot mode. Watch from 2:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HWj_1KHbuY and do the same
after you do all that, just put some rom into sdcard or usb, and flash it.

You can't find the proper RUU? Did you try to run an RUU not meant for your device? You should just get errors and the process should halt.
What does it say next to "OS" in your bootloader menu? That will tell you your current firmware version. Does it have two different versions with the newer one in red? If so you need to run the RUU again. The first run just updated the hboot.

There's nothing on the os.

Go to @ckpv5's thread. Link here.
You'll need the backup that is 4.24.709.2 (judging from your baseband you are on Lollipop). The 709 part is crucial! That is for your version of M8 and you can't flash a backup (or RUU, or firmware) made for other versions.

Can you tech me step by step what i should do.

im not that good at this kinda thing but im really interested in learning. And also it can save my phone.

What's the baseband no. ?
He may need 4.16.709.9 if the baseband is lower than 1.26

First thing you need to do is update your recovery to TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Then go to the thread I linked you to, and follow the instructions in post #1 (skip the first step~update recovery). You'll need the 4.24.709.2 backup that is in post #3.
You can stop at step 9. You just need the ROM backup and not the stock recovery. After step 9 just reboot.

HTC One M8. How to downgrade from Lollipop 5.0.1 to Kitkat or jelly bean

Title says everything.

By restoring a nandroid backup, by downgrading the firmware and software with a ruu (only possible when you have S-OFF)
About going back to a stock rom you know all about that, just try an old backup and see if it works

Do you have s-off ? Then download an older ruu and execute that.

No, i don't have s-off. There must be other way..
i also searched to gain s-off but the firewater doesn't work, some error about PIE and i don't want to buy sunshine.

Firewater is offline for allmost a year now, and don't want to buy sunshine.........yeah well then there is no way to downgrade your firmware, your only chance is to restore a Kitkat nandroid backup !
And i already told you in the first reply to restore an older kitkat nandroid backup.....so that's your other way

No, it actually does not.
Do you want to return to full stock, with OTA updates and all? If so, you need to downgrade firmware as previously indicated.
Otherwise, if you just want to revert to KK ROM, you may be able to run the current LP firmware with it. First, make a nandroid of your current setup in TWRP. Just flash the desired KK ROM in TWRP. If you run into any problem on the KK ROM, revert back to LP.
Also, you haven't stated if your phone is fully stock or not (bootloader unlocked, TWRP, etc.), in the first place.
But were are moving to MM at this point. Legitimate reasons for reverting to an OS version 2 or more iterations obsolete is very questionable.
Also, this phone never had Jellybean (it launched with KK), so that would be some trick to "downgrade" to it.

Flashing my HTC 10 to Marshmallow

Hello
I would like to flash my HTC 10 back to stock Marshmallow firmware. What is the safest and easiest way?
I don't want to unlock my bootloader or root my phone. I just want to roll-back.

Not possible with a locked bootloader

So is unlocking the booloader the only requirement for a firmware roll back?

This user has done so with s-on unlocked bootloader and twrp installed...Not responsible for any mishaps... Is only a post to point you in a direction... Good luck

Without s-off you cant downgrade firmwares, not sure what that specific user is about but he is not flashing full ruu files or firmwares. Those will fail 100%
And there is no 4.41.401 firmware number. The last nougat firmware is 2.41.401.4

It could be a typo.
I'm going to give it a try tonight and provide a feedback.
Thank you all.
Here is an update as promised. I gave the mentioned method a try but it didn't work.

Yes please let us know if it works. I hope battery life is better on Marshmallow.

In that same thread is another option...For S-On devices with an unlocked bootloader...Outlined in post #2

I wrote wrong and i know last nougat is 2.41.401.41
And S-ON and Unlock Bootloader is mandotory for roll back marsmallow.Try my way and Relock Bootloader

But you didn't flash a lower firmware or ruu than the firmware that's on the device already ? Because that's impossible with s-on. You can only downgrade firmware with s-off.
Did you install a lower stock backup?

I believe I'm doing something wrong which is why nothing worked for me. This is too much to do for a simple roll back and i don't blame you guys for it.
Remember the old days when all you had to do to install a ROM is root and place the ROM into a micro SD card.

I actually already assumed it would not work because you can't downgrade firmware on s-on devices. That specific post is in many ways impossible. Or he has a s-off device and wrote it wrong or he is just making stuff up.

If you want to roll back you need s-off and a MM ruu. That's the easiest way. What are your specs now.
Can you give the output of "fastboot getvar all"

So you are flashing partitions that are locked on s-on state. I just don't believe this downgrade method because you simply need s-off to downgrade firmwares.
That's all i can and will say about it.

i found at under this video

Since i'm going to need to pay money to s-off the smartphone, i have taken it to a guy who is willing to roll back the firmware to Marshmallow for 10$.
He probably have the license.
Thank you all for the help.

Yeah, folks always believe downgrading will only work on S-OFF devices...
But don't say "IMPOSSIBLE" before you try, the downgrade method I've test on HTC M9 A9 10 U11 and it work well, I even wrote a program to help to erase version number in an easiest way.
