[Q] Reverting M8 to ROM it came with - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Storyline: I've bought Honda CRV 2016 with Connect system, it has mirrorlink integration, and I want navigation in my car badly.
What I've already tried:
1. Downloaded RUU_M8_UL_K444_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.28.1540.5_Radio_1.21.21331147A1.19_2G_20.63.4196.01_release_394319_signed_2.exe (and many other .exe RUU instals)
It reverts my 6.12.117.4 to 3.28.1540.5 but when i click Next it fails during sending process OR gets stuck at 1/7 checking header
2. Downloaded stock 4.4.4 RUU_M8_UL_K444_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.28.1540.5_Radio_1.21.21331147A1.19_2G_20.63.4196.01_release_394319_signed_2.zip

So, long story short, how to revert my M8 back to android, that works with mirrorlink?

You're phone is S-ON, so it won't let you downgrade; you need to be s-off.
To move the file to your phone, try drag and drop using Windows, or take the SD CARD out of your phone and into the PC and transfer the file.

And how to do it?

You can't run either of those RUUs. They don't match your phone's CID or MID. Can't change CID,MID unless you have s-off ($25 by sunshine app).
Also, you can't "downgrade" to Kitkat from MM with S-on. If you intent is to downgrade (as it appears, in order to use mirrorlink), you need s-off .

RUU won't run anyway, due to the reasons previously stated.
But "cannot load" often means you don' t have the file in the right place. Also make sure you don't have the Windows setting to hide file extensions (usually hidden by default - highly recommended to turn this off!) or you might have accidentally named the file RUU.zip.zip and not realize it (common mistake).

I've used nandroid, but its 4.4.2 and it changed the behavior of Honda Connect in car so that it recognizes the device but it says 'device not compatible'.
Before i spend 25$ on sunshine I would like to try the nandroid from 5.0.1 - does anybody have the 5.0.1 nandroid?

As mirrorlink seems to be your primary issue, and I'm not that familiar with that(and when they changed it) I can't say for certain.
But aside from that, they are pretty minor version updates. Probably doesn't make a huge difference which you choose. But later version may have rectified some minor bugs in the previous builds.

HTC One X Stock Firmware JB 4.2.2 S5

Hi Guys,
It's been a while since I wrote on this forum... I may be tired, but I can't work out a few things:
I have a T-Mobile UK HTC One X, due to some circumstances I needed to completely wipe...
I was already running an unbranded stock firmware on it, but after the complete wipe i wanted to install JB 4.2.2 S5 - I usually unlock the bootloader, install clockworks, copy the original unedited complete firmware zip on it and install it via the recovery, then relock the bootloader and job done, but I cannot seem to find a complete unedited rom, is either RUU.exe (which I cannot run as the PC wont see the phone due to no firmware on it, I think) or nandrom backups which I don't really want, all the OTA ones seem to just be updates and am stuck with a phone that only has clockwork recovery on it....
Where can I get an official unedited zip that I can install via clockworks?
Thanks

You have good hboot for sense 5 rom 4.2.2 install MaximusHD or ARHD or any sense 5 rom and you are ready to go.
I wanted a stock ROM, the Mrs is not very technical minded lol and a customer ROM won't help her, either TMO UK or in branded, where can I get the RUU for it?
Thanks all
Unfortunately T-Mobile skipped the sense 5, 4.2.2 update, I have the same device and cid and called them countless times, spoke to managers and had it escalated to the highest level only to be told they would not be updating past 4.1.1
Every other network pushed that but them, if you stick to stock T-Mobile ROM you would be missing 2 very important updates, one being the heartbleed patch.
Just grab MaximusHD from the development forum, its the best sense 5 ROM out there and has important ota updates too.
I suppose I will have install it via the custom recovery, could I not install the unbranded RUU 4.2.2? Does anyone know how to s-off correctly, so that I can change the CID.
By the way thank you all for your replies

There must be a way to s-off the Maximus HD ROM says "1. Make sure your device is unlocked or have s-off"
Why would it say that on "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410320" if there was no s-off ways? am confused lol

[Q] Stuck in bootloader with Security warning.

I have been rooted for a few weeks and decided to go back. Well I had S-off but when I started the transition to stock I turned s-on and that is when the **tampered** flag came on. I stupidly continued using the code (fastboot oem lock) which gave me the **Relocked** status but now I have a security warning and It will ONLY boot into bootloader. I have tried multiple times re-flashing TWRP and I cant get it to go into recovery. From what I have read I need to flash stock rom onto it but I cant get into the recovery to flash or even sideload. So where should I go from here? Everything I need to do requires S-off and I cant seem to get it.
*ALSO I am currently on InsertKoin ROM* <--That might change something

I've been S-Off since day one so double check everything but this will get you in the right direction. You need to S-off and unlock, flash an RUU and then relock (to remove the red text warning). Going back to S-on I understand is pretty dangerous and appears to be unnecessary. Go to this thread and start with the 3rd tutorial to re-S-off. If you can get S-off'd the rest should be pretty easy.

That should be early enough to use Firewater on. Let me know if you run into problems because I can help via team viewer.
@pmterp & @dottat Thanks for the reply and that sounds like a good idea but I have to push the file via adb. I cannot get there because I am stuck in the fastboot section. So I don't think firewater or anything that uses adb will work.
Crud. I don't remember if you can get to RUU mode without being S-off. In fastboot the command is fastboot OEM rebootRUU If you can then you could re-RUU but I'm thinking you have to be S-off to get there. Hopefully someone else will chime in with some better ideas.

You can go into ruu mode while s-on, but need a signed ruu. Last signed ruu we had was 2.x

That is RUU mode and will accept an RUU file to flash at this point. I believe Uzephi is correct that the RUU you flash must be signed (which I think is the same as encrypted). I'm not sure where you would find them but I'm sure Google will be your friend on that. Be careful what version you flash because I think it can cause problems if you move down. I'm not sure how open he is to helping via PM (he's super helpful but also very busy) but if it were me I'd reach out via PM to @santod040 and ask for advice. He's a highly skilled dev who's been with this device a long time.
I think I might be in the same boat as jman036, only difference being that I'm on a later OS version (5.28.605.2). I've tried flashing signed RUUs for my particular OS version from both santod's and dottat's AndroidFileHosts but both give me this error:
"(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)"
Sucks man.

Dang really? I thought they would be since they both have "signed" in the filenames.

Yes. Will fail. You should try installing the latest HTC sync and seeing if the repair button lights up for you on the home page of the app.

See if you can flash this zip while your phone is in this ruu mode.
Fastboot flash zip firmware3.zip
May require flashing twice.

HTC Sync doesn't recognize the phone. Getting a "no phone connected" message. Any other ideas?

If installed drivers are correct htc sync will see the phone. I just responded to your post in a different thread. Can you try that first before we troubleshoot drivers?

Crud. I don't remember if you can get to RUU mode without being S-off. In fastboot the command is fastboot OEM rebootRUU If you can then you could re-RUU but I'm thinking you have to be S-off to get there. Hopefully someone else will chime in with some better ideas.

Fastboot oem rebootRUU mode is supported in both s on/off scenarios. An s on user can always use this to reflash same firmware or even upgrading to newer firmware. Bootloader unlocked phones often take advantage of this before s off exploits are found.

Well I made it one step further with it recognizing that I have a phone connected but said "no software available."
I think if I can find a signed RUU file then I can fix this. I just have to find it.....

M8 Bricked while updating to Marshmallow.

Hi,
The other day i've tried to update my M8 to marshmallow via OTA and my device get bricked . . .
It is stucked on Android Recovery, and have tried everything. Ruu's, factory reset . . . everything. Ruu always gives me back error 155.
Don't know what else to do. It is new, but I think the people that sold it to me have changed things like CID and it have S-OFF.

I am having the same problem!! I installed the official update via the system update, installed then at the end it told me there is a problem with the OTA thing and that is it. Since then my device is bricked and I'm in between the recovery menu and the bootloader.
I don't wanna root my device and didn't try it. This sucks. I wish I can rollback this mess to Lollipop.

I had a similar issue, bricked my HTC ONE M8 by updating through OTA.
But I got it fixed by flashing RUU through htc_fastboot.exe, it took a while but was effective.
In your case, if you need to find your right CID, first get your mid number and check if you can find a right CID to your MID, then write it through fastboot. Hope it can help you.
If you will need a detailed how to, let me know

My CID is 11111111, it says so in the bootloader. Can you provide links on where to get the RUU and the flashing app? Thanks
The bootloader says LOCKED yet my device is the international variant. Is it related or does it mean that my bootloader is locked?

Hey, I've made a simple research and found that your serial number belongs to HTC ONE M8 Taiwan version, so first you need to change your MID to 0P6B150 (optional but strongly advised for applaying offical updates) and then the CID to CHT__601 (Taiwan).
Only after this you need to find the right RUU and flash it, or use RUU.zip and flash it through htc_fastboot.exe
Hope it will be helpfull

Send me your detailed phone information as it was shown in the first post of the thread so I can tell you how to change you CID and other identification numbers that in the end will let you apply the update
Having the original CID is very important, cuz your bootloader was relocked? otherwise they could've not changed you CID/
Check your serial information go to HTC Warranty Check - Lookup
this tell you right region information of your phone so you can easily find right CID and MID numbers of your phone

1 - see the links in the end of #7 post? Go there and first get the drivers and adb-fastboot tools
once you get try command fastboot getvar all this will show you the detailed information of your device
2 - once done get HTC ONE M8 all in one tool kit, it would be easier for you to use instead typing commands all the time
3 - unlock your bootloader by following the instructions on the program listed above
4 - search for right CID number of your phone and write it by using command fastboot oem writecid (YOUR CID)
5 - relock bootloader
6 - flash the right RUU (check if it is right for your original new CID)
Keep in mind that I've done this on my own devices, and I don't take any responsibility in case if you get your device bricked

You cannot simply flash the RUU .. the first question is .. is the RUU the right one for your device ?
You have SUperCID as you mentioned above .. what about the MID ?
Is it 0P6B10000 ? If yes .. then go ahead

You can't extract/unzip an encrypted HTC RUU zip.
You never reply to my first question .. is your bootloader LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED ?
If it is UNLOCKED .. I can suggest another method .. restore a TWRP backup.
If you have installed both adb/fastboot and latest HTC USB driver (and uninstall HTC Sync Manager) I don't see a reason why it cannot work for you when it worked for the other guy (post #14)
Do you have a microSD card ? You can do it different way.

Sorry, it is RELOCKED.
I'll try to do all from 0 again. If it does not work we can UNLOCK it and try the TWRP method you say?
Yes I do have an SD card in my phone, but my PC doesn't detect it and have no SD adapter. I've heard that there's some fastboot command "push" or something like that to put the RUU on it but don't know how it works.
Thanks for your time, I'm desperate. . .
You need to unlock bootloader to go with TWRP method.
Just try again ... with a Windows PC with USB2.0 (many people report USB3.0 is a hit and miss)
Make sure the HTC Sync manager is uninstalled after you install the driver.

Can't get my m8 to boot anymore

I used to have a custom rom on my phone but I tried to wipe it and im not sure what happened but I don't think there's an OS on there anymore. It gets stuck on the HTC white screen. I am able to access fastboot and I have TWRP recovery installed that I'm able to access, but I believe it's an older version. I tried just downloading another rom and flashing it but it still wont boot. I'm not sure what I need to get it working again.

Yes your Firmware is the version-main and its empty, thats crappy.
First download this TWRP Stock Nandroid Backup: https://mega.nz/#!mYxDWApA!JbdLZAhYkz8fas5MpPfOQqGScikCLCmG21KBsjRJKQQ
Then use latest twrp recovery 3.0.2-0: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img.html and install it.
Here is the Stock Recovery that you need later: https://mega.nz/#!SUATBBbQ!-IUlr_tqnpkYFUM0bedRSRH3w__nCZjEAYls-5zncX4.
Then do this taken from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
The basic idea is : fastboot flash recovery NameOfRecovery.img
2. Download TWRP backup - link in post #2 & post #3
3. Download stock recovery - link in post #4
4. Extract the downloaded x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5.zip on PC
5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.
6(a). Reboot, connect device to PC then
open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
open SD Card - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to MicroSD)
6(b). For those with no OS, connect device to PC. In TWRP recovery go to mount, make sure MTP is enabled.
Then you can open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
7. Transfer the extracted x.xx.xxx.x folder (not x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device, so it looks like this :
TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./x.xx.xxx.x
8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)
9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore
10. In reboot menu select bootloader (when TWRP asks whether you want to root your device, select do not install)
11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img
12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install
13. you may have multiple OTA when your device currently on a lower version
14. done
If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP after last OTA
NOTE : There is no need to relock bootloader when doing the nandroid way to revert to stock and do OTA.

You won't be able to run current ROMs because your firmware is too low version.
What you can do is run the latest RUU to get back to stock at Marshmallow firmware then reinstall TWRP to install any custom ROM that you like
1. You need these drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4
2. You need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On, use command
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. You need to install htc signed 6.20.531.5 firmware
Download :
https://mega.nz/#!yIhBTRKJ!5rZldUEzCaFqYUhomn4mO_IgA_-nW6-gV9HX5LCzT5Y
run commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
you'll see error : FAILED
repeat fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. You need to install the latest 6.20.531.5 RUU
Download : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-t-mobile/news/
right click the RUU.exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions - agree/accept, next,next,update,blablabla until it finish.
Now you'll have a out of the box state device.
You can unlock the bootloader again with the unlock_code.bin
Re install TWRP - use the latest TWRP 3.0.2-0
You can install any custom ROM that you like.
All the above procedure require you to put the device on bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC.
The above procedure will wipe everything in your device including internal storage data/files (if you want to backup first, install TWRP 2.8.1.0 and in recovery you can enable MTP after connect to PC to copy out files from Internal storage)
All these require you to have a Windows PC with USB2.0

Hboot 3.16 means OP is on 1.xx firmware.
Which also means the nandroid and stock recovery you suggested are off by 3 versions (4.xx). Are you guessing at the version number?
ckpv5 has the best route. RUU will update the firmware, and get the phone back up and running.

Thanks for this information. I had tried to revert back to stock using that exact RUU from the HTC website but it would keep failing and I didn't know why. Using the stock firmware steps you included got it work. I appreciate the help.

If you had posted the RUU failure symptoms (Error number and message, if there was one; specific behavior and results, etc.) we could have helped there (and still be happy to, if you are at all curious about getting RUU to work). But it looks like you sorted it without RUU, anyway.

Restoring by RUU versus nandroid are two completely different things, and you should be careful not to confuse the two:
RUU re-writes all partitions, including firmware, so there is no chance of a mismatch between firmware and ROM. Therefore, you don't need to match the RUU version to firmware, as long as the RUU is equal or greater number than the current firmware on the phone (no "downgrading" with s-on). And with s-off, this requirement is removed entirely, so you can run any version RUU that matches your CID, MID.
Restoring by nandroid is a completely different animal. Nandroid just contains the ROM and kernel. It needs to match the firmware on the phone, otherwise it won't work properly.

I understand his post differently .. he managed to run RUU after firmware is flashed, a step his missed before (a needed step to run a MM RUU on lower firmware, but never told earlier).

Now I understand. Its confusing, since the 2 methods (both of which have you to credit) to return to stock are both referenced in this thread (another user references the nandroid method); and folks often use the term "firmware" incorrectly to refer to the ROM.
It also means that the user did not follow your instructions in Post #5 in the proper sequence. So RUU failing was inevitable, and easily avoidable; if they had followed your instructions in the proper order.

Which RUU did your try (version number, file name)? And what does that mean you "can't flash stock ruu"? Did you get any error messages, what point did it fail, etc.?
You also need to tell us how it is "bricked"? Were you trying to flash something, or update, etc.? Or just happened on its own (failed to boot to OS)?
Did you do any mods to the phone, or is it (as far as you know) stock? For that matter, did you get the phone used?

I assume when you say "bricked" it means you can't boot to Android OS, but you can get to bootloader (otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to do fastboot getvar).
On the bootloader screen, does it say LOCKED or UNLOCKED near the top?
Also, I recommend you delete IMEI and serial number from your top post. These are personal info, and should not be posted online (and also, not needed to help or advise you).

To confirm, the file actually says "RUU" in the file name, and about 1.5 GB in size?
