I bought my HTC one (m8 ) last week and have been trying to upgrade from android 4.4.3 kitkat using OTA but it says that my phone is up to date, which I know is not right. I tried to do it manually by downloading some zips from htcdev which didn't work. The one which came closest to working gave an error after verifying the package saying that it does not detect 4.4.4. I want to update to lollipop and would really appreciate if you told me which zip exactly I need to do that coming from 4.4.3. My imei is 352628060356880, my software number is 2.22.401.5. Boot loader locked, (S-Off), stock recovery.
You should bump your other thread, not start a new one.
First .. delete that imei no., never post them on open forum.
Second .. post fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no. This will help people to identify your problem to help you.

Hi all,
I need some help guys... I purchased a used HTC One X (Quadcore) a couple of days back from an online seller. The phone is perfect but seems the seller rooted the phone. I found out about it by following a guide that said to open a terminal emulator and type "su". It didn't ask me for any password and immediately turned the command prompt to #.
Now the phone has been lagging more than normal and I'm not receiving the OTA update as well. I decided to take it to the store as its still under warranty. So I need someone to tell me what to do and how do I reset it to stock firmware or unroot?
I lost contact with the seller and do not have the option to ask him to reset it for me or get any information about the root.
The phone was purchased from the United Arab Emirates.
Thanks for helping.

Click to collapse
boot in to bootloader by pressing vol down + power button at the same time
then once you get to the bootloader check at the top of screen whether its written Locked or Unlocked
If its unlocked then your phone is rooted
if its rooted then you need to flash the ruu of stock ROM to and install stock recovery to unroot
and use some commands..

Don't know if you sorted this but you need to be using your current version number (find this in.. settings > about > software information)
Unlocked bootloader doesn't ALWAYS mean you're rooted, it just means your bootloader was unlocked... (which is a helpful thing really...when wanting to flash sexy stuff)...
The RUU (Rom Update Utility) Should match or be higher than your version number and must be for your CID or it will fail. FOR example... 1.29.401.9
The 1.29 start bit should match as should the red inbetween bit. This is what you're looking for.
Software info
Ok, all i see when i visit the software information is the following.
Android Version
4.0.4
HTC Sense Version
4.1
Software Number
HTC One maXimus V3.0
HTC SDK API level
4.23
HTC Extension version
HTCExtension_403_1_G_20
Kernel version
2.6.39.4-g090b42e
[email protected] #1
Baseband version
2.1204.135.20
Build number
2.17.401.2 CL89015 release-keys
Browser version
WebKit/534.30
All i want is to return the phone to its factory state. I couldn't get the official OTA update coz of this stupid "maXimus" thing...
Well I guess if you have a nandroid back up you should've made, that would save you tonnes of problems otherwise you need to find what version you were on relock your bootloader and apply the ruu, not sure if you need stock recovery on.

I believe you know about going to fastboot mode and use fastboot command, type
fastboot getvar version-main
it will show your stock software version no. then you can look for the right RUU.
The latest official stock rom for the UAE is 1.29.415.11 and Radio 1.1204.105.14 android 4.0.3(i think), and the ruu flasher is
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.29.415.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260742_signed.exe (dont forget to relock b-l )
check the main version from fastboot by the method ckpv5 mentioned and if its not 1.29.415.11 and the radio showing on bootloader is 1.1204.105.14
that means ur phone was not middle east version OR
the original user flashed the wrong update from another country, and you will have to reflash that corresponding stock version.
Remember if you feel scammed at any point(online sellers or shops) you can contact the Consumer Protection Structure in the UAE , call 999 or the directory and ask for the number, they deal with scammers.
Device: HTC One X AT&T USA, Android 4.0.4
HBoot 1.14 (unlocked), S-ON, cid: 11111111 (was CWS__001), rooted (CWM-SuperSU-v0.96)
Hi,
I have sim-unlocked AT&T HTC One X that I bought in USA last year and used it in 'as is' condition. A week ago it got to cyclical reboot. I made factory reset, but of course I lost all my data. In this case I decided to upgrade HBoot and setup lastest CyanogenMod (yeap, I thought I have nothing to lose ).
I re-writed cid to supercid, unlocked flashboot, rooted the phone... but made a mistake and flashed CyanogenMod boot.img before upgraded Hboot *facepalm*.
And now it's unable to load android (it just shows HTC logo with red warning text).
Of course, I tried to restore original Boot from backup, but this didn't help.
I'm able to open Bootloader and custom recovery menu (recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-evita.img), but unable to install any ROM (tried to use ROMs that are based on ICS, because my Hboot 1.14) - it always returns me error 7, even if all requirements are met. Tried to remove asserts from updater-script , but in this case it just shows 'Opening update package... Installing update... Installation aborted.'
I tried almost all that I found in web, used different backups and ROMs, but nothing helped.
I also tried to flash stock RUU (european, since I didn't find USA version - btw does it matter?) , but it getting Error 132 - Signature error.
Please could somebody help me to return my phone to a working state? Any advices are truly appreciated!
P.S. Unfortunately on one of the steps I lost my original backup (sdcard was formated).
Thanks.
You CANNOT INSTALL A RUU THAT DOESN'T MATCH YOUR CID !
Also you are in the wrong forum mate, since this is for the international tegra 3 HOX ONLY !, with may be the cause of your trouble
Please visit the AT&T HOX forum and you will find all you need
Yeah go the at+t forum and there you can s-off your evita HTC one XL ! Then you can install any ruu, update and downgrade the bootloader
Hi
Now i know that this might be the wrong section apologies... but since my phone is a variant of M8 and falls into this category i wanted to ask a few questions
I have my device rooted, bootloader unlocked and s-off
Running on kitkat 4.4.4
Software version 1.82.401.7
And supercid, custom recovery twrp 2.8.0.3
I live in uae and the ota for android L hasnt been released for my region but it has been released for india i have found that OTA version and downloaded it i want to know if i flash that indian region's firmware.zip to my device since it is supercid will it work? Or can i flash the the whole ota through fastboot
Please help....
Flashing firmware.zip won't work due to different MID
India version - 0P6B90000
Your version - 0P6B81000
To be able to fully convert a device to different region, you need to have same CID or SuperCID and same MID.
You can contact scotty1223 of this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581 to help you for the correct code.
(WARNING : never run any code that meant for M8 on your M8 eye - will hard brick it)
Once that is done - you can restore the older version India nandroid backup - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62987237&postcount=153
install the stock recovery then multiple OTAs to the latest lollipop version.
Ohkay i understand soo to be clear to flash any kind of firmware 1. It need to be for my specific device 2. It must match my mid and cid but mainly mid since supercid is universal and works for all region roms correct me if im wrong though
Has anybody using an htc one m8 eye anywhere in the world recieved the ota update for android m
