i'm bought myself a donor phone on ebay to use as a test for my main M9.
the main m9 is on a vodafone UK CID which has 6.0.1 OTA'd to it.
the donor phone is from South Africa, HTC__016, and latest OTA is 5.1, sim-unlocked and S-ON.
so far, i've unlocked the bootloader via htcdev, have TWRP (2.x.x.x which seems to be the latest i can currently get to work on the recovery partition) but struggling to find the next peice of the puzzle on how to upgrade it to a 6.0 ROM.
The TWRP recoveries for the CID dont seem to be working despite reporting sucessful restore, with download mode still reporting OS version of 2.10.401.1.
I'm aiming to get the Viper 6.0 ROM on it, but i'm currently having issues updating the 'OS' version to even start to look at the viper ROM install.
Any sugestions what to try? i'm working with the assumption i need to get the OS upto a 3.x version but cant find anything that works.
You have to upgrade to 6.0 firmware to get 6.0 twrp and roms to work. The simplest way to do that is to s-off and flash manually.
If your main phone is on 6.0 you won't have these problems.
thanks for the help..
time to get 5.1 back on it and run through s-off

Hello all,
Sorry if this seems obvious, I've lost several hours looking for an answer and where to download the correct ROMs/right actions to do.
I use to have Android Lollipop on my phone (ARHD, dont remeber which version) and I tried to install ARHD 20.0 (MM) yesterday.
Manage to upgrade TWRP to 2.8.7.0 and manage to flash the ROM.
But, as mentioned in a very close post, MM firware isn't compatible.
Phone now stay stuck on bootloader screen.
I tried RUU update but it didn't work (bootloader is unlocked)
I then tried to lock my bootloader but fastboot/adb can't detect device (also went from W7 OS to W10 OS...) no clue why...
It seems I can't enter Fastboot mode (doesn't show on the screen, maybe it's normal).
And adb doesn't detect device properly.
Phone is S-ON so can't flash firmware directly.
Heard I should go back to ARHD14.0 but can't find any download link.
So here I am asking for help
LK-1.0.0.0000
RADIO-01.01_U11440261_56.02.50306G_2_F
OpenDSP-v20.2.6-00452-M8994_0216
OS-1.32.73.15
Thanks all! :laugh:

That TWRP version is not recommended for latest rom versions. Use the latest one (TWRP 2.8.7.1-CPTB-Beta-1).
You need the Android M firmware if you want to flash Android M Sense-Roms. With S-ON you need to wait until HTC distributes the update for you SKU (which it hasn't done until now as far as I know). Btw: The firmware version you're using is more than outdated. With that version your M9 is still suffering the infamous heat problems. Nevertheless since several sources (Llabtoofer, HTC UK) hint that the Android M updates might arrive during the next week I would recommend getting back to stock (here's the needed RUU; instructions how to flash can be found in my signature), updating your phone to the latest LP firmware but waiting for the official update before reflashing a custom rom or rerooting your phone.
Which version of the M9 do you have? Also, can you get into your custom recovery?

M9 version: no clue.
Custom recovery: yes.
According to your firmware version and the fact that your phone is S-ON you own a HIMA_UHL (MID: 0PJA10000) which is branded by Orange France.

It's an SFR phone... Could it be Orange branded? Kinda weird.
But OK thanks
I don't know the relations between French providers but it's theoretically possible that SFR and Orange share the same firmware on the M9. Anyway the SKU 73 belongs to Orange France.

You can't use m9+ rom for m9....
We've told you multiple times....in order to get android 6.0 you have to wait for vodaphone official update....or get s-off and update your firmware...
Enough of these new threads asking the same question 10 different ways...okay ?
I'm not trying to be rude....but your solution is still the same....g
Hi there,
This is my first thread here, so sorry if anything in this post is not correctly.
I got the following problem: I installed CM12.1 on my HTC One M8S (M8_QL_UL) but now i want to go back to stock. I bought the phone at Amazon (Germany) and it was sold as unbranded.
However when I tried to flash the stock firmware (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245) over Hboot it told me "wrong CID" and Large Image Fail.
Then I got myself the phone's CID and it came out that it was not the HTC Europe Version (I tried to install the Europe build with Android MM as I had that one before) but the T-Mobile-DE version.
So the problem is, that there is a firmware for the T-Mobile-DE one, but it is still Sense 6 with Lollipop and so I am not able to install that, since I already have had MM with sense 7 on that phone before.
Now I cannot find a MM build for the T-Mobile CID online.
Beside of that I created a Backup with TWRP before flashing CM12.1 but now TWRP does not recocnize that backup.
If possible I would prefer to install the Stock Rom "clean" because my backed up one was very buggy anyway.
So my question is, how can I get back to Stock? Is there any proper build to download? If not, is it possible to get S-Off for that phone, to change CID? Sunshine does not appear to be working for the M8S...
And if nothing like this works, how can I access my backup with TWRP?
Thank you so much, hopefully anyone could help me!
Cheers, Fietipaldi
Im in the same situation but for Vodafone. We need some updated RUUs on the site
Hi,
I bought my HTC 10 (unlocked, EU) just 3 weeks ago and I was so exciting using Nougat I just started to spam “check version” in order to have a notification like “android 7.0 available”.
But HTC decided to stop Nougat OTA because of issues in the EU.
So I decided to instal TWRP and flash my marshmallow version to the Leedroid Nougat custom rom.
The fact is that it was the first time i was doing that and as the noob I am, I’ve deleted my backups on the SD (don’t ask how, I don’t know).
So, now i’m stuck with my LeeDroid version, using nougat but with bugs (snapchat not responding, can’t connect, can’t use Netflix…) and I see that HTC released the Nougat OTA on manual update.
I wanted to install it, but I’ve understood that I need to be on a stock version (not a custom like Leedroid) to update with the RUU.
But now, I don’t know how to reinstall MM stock in order to get that OTA, can someone help me please ?
My HTC 10 is unlocked EU version, i’m Root and Bootloader unlocked too.
Thank so much to the guy who'll answer and sorry by advance for my bad english.
May someone answer me Noob Friendly ? :silly:
If you want to go back to 100% stock, including recovery, flash a compatible RUU.
You shoud be able to find the WWE RUU no problem on the HTC Website, although check your CID and MID first though, CID should be HTC__001 and MID should be 2PS6200000. If the CID doesnt match that, then you need to find the version it does support, or S-OFF you're phone so that you can change the CID manually or switch to super CID (11111111).
I had to S-OFF in order to go back to stock as my CID was H3G__001. Even though it was Sim Unlocked, there is no official RUU for H3G. After all that, I still decided to stick with custom ROM (LeeDroid).
HTC M8 unlocked Android 5.0.1 says "There are no updates available for your phone"
So, I have an unlocked HTC M8 (S-ON) with latest custom TWRP recovery that I wanted to use with HTC's original ROM. So I downloaded and flashed through TWRP a ROM called One_M8_4.16.401.10_stock_system_dump.
Everything worked great and phone runs on HTC's official (hope so) ROM BUT it doesn't' give an update and we all know that there's a MM version out there with Sense 7.0.
I don't know what additional information you would like me to provide you with so you can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
I think I remember that stock dump. But I have no idea if it meets all the requirements to get the OTA notification. Even if it did (receive the notification), you would still need to re-install stock recovery to actually install the OTA (having TWRP installed will cause the install to fail).
Either flash the MM Euro RUU using these downloads and instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Or follow the whole process to properly return to stock, and OTA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
