Are you having problems? Unless you have S-off, it is not recommended to flash newer firmware.

What? Anyone can update firmware as long as it is signed. You only need S-Off to flash modified/unsigned firmware

Post the results here of fastboot getvar all with your IMEI and serial # removed ( that's private info), and I or someone else here will be able to point you to an RUU that will return you to the stock ROM and recovery.

Read my reply again. I told him that it is not recommended to flash newer firmware, I did not say you can not flash newer firmware as you can not go down unless you have S-Off.

Not recommended by who? Are people who are S-On just supposed to stay on old firmware forever?
I've never heard of anyone not recommending to S-On users to not update their firmware, they just can't use a modified firmware package. It won't damage their devices if they try, but they will get a signature error (error 155 or possibly error 12) and the firmware flash will abort.

People on S-On are better off staying in their older firmware if everything is working as expected. If somebody was on 5.1.1 and upgraded to 6.0 with the new firmware, it would be impossible for them to go back. Now if they were on 5.1.1 and upgraded to 6.0 without the firmware, just the ROM, then they could go back no problem.

It's ALWAYS recommended to be on the latest firmware. It includes new security updates among other things like bug fixes. You can always go back to an older ROM version even if you have updated your firmware.
I'll state it as clear as I can for you.
What you are saying is wrong. Period.

I'll have to disagree. You can not go back on an older firmware if you have newer firmware (Unless you have S-Off). Try flashing Kitkat on an S-On M8 that has Marshmallow installed. It will fail.

Really? Okay, I'm just heading out for dinner right now, but when I get home I'll flash a KitKat ROM onto my M8 with Marshmallow firmware and post some screenshots.
The thing here is, I know more about firmware than any aspect of the M8's operating system.
I'll ask one more time, recommended by who? Link me to the thread that states this. And I don't mean a thread with a comment from some noob in it. I mean a thread by someone with some experience that states not to update your firmware if you are S-On.

Sorry I meant downgrading officially as in flashing an RUU of kitkat. Not via a TWRP ZIP. As for the recommendation, look around XDA, you will not find anyone saying to upgrade firmware and requests to "downgrade" with S-On are filled with people saying impossible to do with an RUU.

Yeah it is, but there is no reason to downgrade firmware. Security updates and bug fixes. The ROM is independent of the firmware.
Okay, stay on KitKat. Enjoy that Stagefright exploit.

Teenaged mind? I'm 49 years old. And I'm not taking it personally, I'm trying to stop the spread of misinformation.
Another thing about staying updated with your firmware is that if you don't, flashing ROMs on newer bases will break stuff. For instance, if you flash Lollipop+ ROMs onto a phone with Kitkat firmware, your wifi won't work.

First off, edit your post and delete your IMEI and serial #
Okay, your firmware isn't 1.90 as you stated, it's 2.22.707.4. The firmware version you are seeing is in settings > about > software version. That's the ROM base, and from those numbers I would guess you are running one of the new ROMs ported from the HTC 10.
Okay. Make a nandroid backup and save it to your extSD. Also make sure that anything important to you is backed up as well, like photos and contacts and stuff (just in case you can't restore you nandroid) that Google will already have backed up for you if you opted in for that. I'm telling you to do this because the RUU you are about to run will wipe your phone clean.
Download this RUU to your PC. It's an update to Lollipop, and after you are done flashing it, you will be prompted soon for a software update on your phone for Marshmallow 6.0 via OTA
After the download is finished, hook your phone up to your PC and double click on the download (no need to re-lock your bootloader since you are S-Off). Follow the prompts and you'll soon be running Lollipop. You will also be on stock ROM and recovery. Wait for the OTA update (you can also go to settings > about > software updates to check ~ it's faster usually) and after that you will be on 6.0
When you are up to MM firmware, flash the latest TWRP, restore your nandroid (if it's worth it ~ if you flashed a ported ROM from the 10, you probably clean flashed), and then flash your favorite ROM

There is nothing here that indicates that xunholyx is taking anything personally. He simply pointed out where your info is incorrect, which nearly all of it is.
You on the other hand, should tread carefully in making quick and unfounded assumptions about other users. xunholyx is one of the most helpful, knowledgeable folks remaining here on the M8 forums. His reputation for helping others is nearly beyond question; and I've always seen his posts to be polite and on-topic.

xunholyx wasn't talking about downgrading firmware. He was talking about running the MM firmware with an older ROM (such as LP) flashed in TWRP, which if fully possible.

OP is on still on Kitkat, and its a poor recommendation to advise staying on an Android version that is 2 years old; as stated by xunholyx, there have been a huge number of security fixes over that period of time.

Hey all
Just bought a M8 and I wanted to root if for a few apps I use, however I didn't know that by putting a custom recovery mod I would not be able to update my phone. So I am trying my best to get it back to stock however I can not find a RUU that matches my CID. Could someone please help me find a way to get my phone back to stock so I can get updates with no problems.
-Cheers
P.S: Lesson learnt, always back up your phone before attempting this bull**** -.-, miss my s4. Could find anything I needed on that thing.

You don't need to unroot to get updates. If you're s-off just flash a stock recovery. If your s-on flash a stock recovery and relock the boot loader. Takes about 2 mins to do either.

Like I already said all you need do is flash one of the stock recoveries from this thread, use whichever you had originally for your CID.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
You can't ota with a custom recovery.
I love ViperROM and would never want to go back. They are very good about getting updates out pretty quick. So not long after an official OTA comes I think Viper is quick on it. I believe we already had one for the M8. My friend has tried a few roms and thinks Viper is the best.

Did you read anything on the stock backup page?
As long as the base number is the same then you should be able to flash a recovery that matches. You have software version 1.54.708.5 so just flash one that begins with 1.54.
The nearest is:
STOCK RECOVERY 1.54.707.5
Nothing will happen so just go ahead and try it.
Here's the OTA, but it won't install unless you already have the stock OS installed.

Version-main is empty as a result of flashing a buggy TWRP and CID is superCID thus hard to tell. MID would fit for 154.401 as well as 2.22.401 recovery. To be sure a question. Are you still running stock ROM. If yes you could check setting > about phone > software information > software number. If you are running a custom ROM this information is likely not to be valid. o2 Germany stock ROM e.g. has a x.xx.207.xx version number

Hi
I am running Android Revolution HD.
If you flash Philz Recovery, you will at least be able to get your version-main back and then you'll be able to look for that version in the Stock Recovery Section.
You CID should probably either be O2___001 or O2___002..

Hi John
Can i install Philz alongside TWRP?
Also i downloaded Build prop editor and under "ro.aa.cidlist" has the following cid numbers
htc 001
htc e11
htc 102
htc 203
htc 405
etc. Are they relevant?
Philz will overwrite TWRP as you can only run one recovery at a time.
This list names CID of different carriers.

Will flash Philz shortly and hopefully that will provide me with Main version. However one last question. Will the Harman & Kardon prevent me from going back to stock?

How long ago did you get the phone, and have you done any OTA updates since you've had it.
If you bought it before March/April (ish) and haven't done any updates then it's likely that you're on the 1.12.206.17 version.
If you've done an OTA since then you'll probably be on 1.54.206.5... in which case try this, this is the stock recovery for 1.54.206.5..
There are Backups for both versions in the Stock Backups Page.
This is for the 1.12.206.17

HBOOT 3.18 ? You updated the OTA to latest 4.4.3?
If so then you're fresh out of luck, I don't see any 2.xx.206/207.x stock recoveries for O2(UK/German) devices. Even on the German forum they only have the 1.54.206.5/10 ones.
Only choices you have then is to either:
1) convert - Seeing as you are S-OFF
2) roll back to older version and go through update again this time taking a backup of stock recovery. Flash old Firmware, you can probably get tutorials on here somewhere on how to do it.
3) scout the mobile phone boards(locally) and see if someone can drop you a stock recovery or
4) Wait until someone uploads a stock recovery.
In order to provide these stock recoveries, we need people to upload them and share the links and as you can see, guys like you don't do it! So we're stuck with no backups to share with guys in similar position like yourself
Good Luck!

My apologies, I didn't realise they'd release an update a just recently, O2 are usually way behind everyone else..

I take it they rolled out the latest 4.4.3 for the customers. Honestly I wasn't keeping tabs on whether they rolled or not. I just saw the HBOOT version and thought that he might have updated to 4.4.3 because as far as I know it only changed to 3.18 with 4.4.3 before then it was 3.16. I could be wrong though?
I suppose if the OP didn't flash any custom ROMs etc he could just go to settings > about > software information, and confirm either way

He's already on Android Revolution HD.
There's a link to the 1.54.206.5 firmware on the Android Revolution Site, but would it work with the wrong version-main in the android-info.txt
http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/206/
I think the way I got my version-main back, was to flash a different version stock recovery, it wouldn't work because it was the wrong version number, it just kept dropping back to HBoot, but it did bring it back when I then reflashed CWM / Philz.

What I meant was.. You probably had the right recovery or at least knew what one you needed.
It's a similar situation to one that I was in the other day. I had no version-main, so I didn't know which recovery to flash. So I took a guess and flashed a stock recovery for my device, it didn't work because it was the wrong one, but it did give me my version-main back in getvar all.
I then flashed back to Philz Recovery because I had no recovery. Once I knew the version main, I managed to find the recovery... :good:
...John...
To confirm I am on 4.4.3. I will see what comes along in near future. Should of read a few more posts before rooting.. Again help appreciated.

Hi Rlumby.
I was just wondering why you want to return to the stock recovery. Do you need to to send it back, so you need to return it back to it's original condition or do you want to keep it open for OTA's, etc...
Since you are S-Off and SuperCID, I don't see any reason why you couldn't flash another carriers firmware, or like BerndM14 said, maybe convert it to a Developer Edition or a GPE Edition.. It will wipe everything so if you do go down this road, make sure you back everything up first...
...John...
Hi John.
It was just an option should I choose to. Now you mention it I may go for developer edition. Will check out what's out there.

I'm keen to grab one of the new 4.4.4 Sense-based ROMs (insertcoin or viper), but it would seem that I need to somehow update my firmware.
Problem is, I can't figure out how to do it on my device. I tried using Firewater, but it gives me a 'whelp' messsage and can't S-OFF me, and I can't find an updated version of my firmware to flash.
Can anyone help me? I'm a little lost now I think. I'm using an NZ Vodafone M8, getvar is below. I'm currently running VanirAOSP and TWRP recovery.

Use Sunshine to get s-off. You have to pay $25, but it's worth it. Then you can go SuperCID and flash firmware from any GSM carrier.

If your already using a 4.4.4 ROM than Sunshine won't work .what you need to do is flash back to complete stock with stock kernel along with root and run Sunshine again

My bad on the first link I was driving and shouldn't have even been looking at my phone.have you made any backups of Roms ever?
You need the the backup directory in your file manager so you can place the extracted backup file in it.
If you don't have the any backup of any ROM than boot to your custom recovery and make a backup of the ROM your on now .when backup completes than reboot to your regular system and go into your root browser so you can place extracted backup file in backup folder .
Boot to recovery again and make sure the backup exists when you tap restore,if you have two backups and you notice the one you placed is one of them than you should be good , restore the backup like you would any other backup
I have recently bought a new htc one m8 which came with lollipop out of the box and yesterday I noticed that my phone is having s-off enabled and cid - 11111111 by default. I haven't done anything to my phone (no root access and bootloader is locked).... So my question is will I receive OTA updates in future? And is it good to have this options(cid and s-off) enabled by default. Pls help... ?

Hello kkaranjkar,
As long as you got your bootloader locked - and even with an unlocked bootloader - you'll be abled to install al OTA you gonna receive on your One M8. Only question I got: did you in fact by a new phone, or purchase a used one? If it is a used one it is of some importance to have look which ROM/Firmware version you got installed on it, as some sell theire phones to others leaving a before installed custom ROM on it.
You could check that under "Settings > About Phone > Software-Information > Software-Number"

Yes you are right. New firmware will be included with the OTA if you receive one.
Which means I don't have to change my cid from super cid in order to get an update
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
It's not 100% sure, you have to check and make sure that the custom rom isn't incomplete. The 2 main things that are important are :
-The rom has to be factory stock, so no missing standard apps
-you must have the stock recovery and NOT a custom recovery
If the phone does not meet these 2 criteria the ota will fail ! And indeed root and an unlocked bootloader is not important, that will work. So at this point we can not say you are good to go for sure !

I've heard of rare instances of s-off from the factory. But I've never heard of SuperCID (1111111) from the factory. I suspect this is a used and modded phone, returned to stock condition and fraudulently (or at least unwittingly) sold as "new". Or refurbished.

If you want OTA updates, then yes, you need to change the CID to match a known variant. Depends on where you are, but a lot of non-US folks use the WWE (world-wide English) variant.

No, your phone storage will not be erased by changing your CID. (Your CID is literally just a few bytes on a special partition, but you need to be S-off to write it) It might be erased if you use an RUU, depending on how you apply it. The only time phone storage is erased is if you used the bootloader unlock token from HTCdev or you used the Windows based RUU tool.
If you use a Nandroid backup of WWE and switch the CID to match, you will get OTA updates without erasing user data.

As you've somewhat figured out, current ROMs are likely going to give you issues due to your outdated firmware (hboot, radio, etc.).
Best bet is to run the Verizon MM RUU (will wipe the phone, so backup anything you want to keep to removable SD or off the phone, before RUU).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845
From there, you can install TWRP and current ROMs, and I would recommend sticking to ROMs that specifically support the VZN version M8.

You don't need to flash 4.4.4. But that does make me remember one thing, the MM (6.0) RUUs have a new requirement, where you can't go from a past version to MM, unless you manually flash the MM firmware first.
So if you get Error 155 or 159 flashing the MM RUU; you'll need to find and flash the matching (6.21.605.3) firmware zip first, then RUU.
Either that, or just run the Lollipop RUU, for which the current MM ROMs should still work fine (with LP firmware).
Another possible approach, is to just find the 6.21.605.3 firmware, flash it, then install TWRP and a ROM (since its really just the firmware we need, anyway).

Yours is a LRA device and as far as I know there is no Marshmallow update for your device version.
The latest update is Lollipop 4.21.512.4
I suggest you install 4.21.512.4 RUU then check for OTA to see is there any further update to Marshmallow.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66044439&postcount=37
Once your firmware is updated to 4.21.512.4, that's good enough for you to install Marshmallow custom ROM, of course you need to use one with VZW support.
I read before flashing a VZW firmware on a LRA device may break your network unless you flash it without VZW rcdata.img

Good to know. Thanks for that, as I was not aware.
I realized the device was LRA from the "512" version number, but figured it would be okay to flash VZN firmware, since OP has SuperCID.
Moral of the story: do as ckpv5 says!

Thanks again. I used to use Samsung phones and flashing new roms was really easy. I do not understand what RUU is on HTC. Can anyone give me the links and instructions that I need to follow? I just want to use Marshmallow on my phone. Because of this cellular data issues and my current rom and other parameters I do not what i am going to do.
By the way, thank you so much for your helps.

RUU = ROM Update Utility. Its a HTC tool that will update/rewrite all partitions to stock factory condition (and will wipe the phone).
The link is already given, as well as instructions; although they are brief ones. If you have specific questions on the process, ask and we will help.

A bit too late, but could you please help me out? I'm running 4.4.4 (version 3.31.512.2) and I want to update to Lollipop and eventually to Marshmallow. As you mentioned, there is already a link given and I have downloaded it. The issue is I don't have an SD card atm and would like to know an alternate approach.

You can follow this guide but use your downloaded RUU zip (not the one in the guide)

Thank you so much. I figured there's no official Marshmallow update for my device, I'd be grateful if you could recommend me a custom ROM that's more or less identical to the official version

That's hard for me to recommend because I have a GSM but yours is a LRA. You can only install ROM with Verizon support.
Maybe for a start, this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-4-17-605-9-stock-resources-firmware-t3196906
Just note that you can install ROM but not the firmware.

I am actually now getting around to updating. I just want to know some things if you could help me with
1. If I install the firmware first, would my boatloader lock? Or can I just not do this process at all?
2. Can I install this ROM with the stock recovery?
3. Will not installing the firmware affect anything at all?
Sorry for n00b questions, I might be overcomplicating things here
My responses below, in red.

No, firmware won't lock the bootloader.
2. Can I install this ROM with the stock recovery?
No, you need custom recovery TWRP.
3. Will not installing the firmware affect anything at all?
To be clear I do think you need to RUU up to Lollipop first, then install the MM ROM. From there, I don't think you need MM firmware.

Presumably you (or somebody else) used the sunshine app to s-off. If so, you should be able to use the sunshine app again without paying. Sunshine can unlock the bootloader, since its already s-off.

Hello everyone. I want to update my phone to Marshmallow. However, I do not know what I am going to do next since I have ''version-main: 3.31.512.2''. I have read threads about same version that says after custom roms their phone cannot get connection. My phone is Unlocked and S-off. Can anyone tell me what I am going to do? Also which rom is suitable fit this?
Thank you .

Is there something you meant to post or ask, besides just quoting a previous post?

Hi, I just bought this great phone, and I need your help, I want to install MM, my HTC is the European Version Model OP6B100, Android 4.4.4, firmware 3.31.512.2, It is S-OFF, is unlocked, rooted and I have install TWRP, and I successfully Installed a Custom Marshmallow but after reboot just go straight to Bootloader, It does not load the ROM, I read and I understood We cannot jump from KITKAT to MM, I also installed LP but same happened. Help me to install LP and then LP, by the way ROMs I used were HD revolution.
Thanks in advanced.
