anyone try HK mod? and i need cwm backup.

Ok my first question isnt too important. I want to know if anyone on T-Mobile firmware has attempted the Harmon Kardon mod to see if it works.
Second question, can anyone make a full backup of T-Mobile firmware via Phillz recovery and send me a link to it?
I have an AT&T M8 and i want to do a conversion to T-Mobile firmware cuz HK mod does not work on ATT 1.12 firmware. I currently have developer edition firmware with HK mod working flawlessly. The reason i want to try T-Mobile firmware is for ISIS as DE does not support it supposedly.
Please forgive me if threads on this already exist.
Thank you.

When i tried it on ATT firmware, I did not get any app not compatible message, it simply removed the toggle for boomsound. Luckily i made a backup before i flashed. well, either way i ended up flashing DE firmware and applying HK mod.
If anyone has a backup of T-Mobile firmware please let me know. If memory serves, you need an unlocked bootloader to flash recovery regardless of s-on or s-off. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Or for those that dont want to flash recovery, i used:
Code:
fastboot boot {name of my philz recovery file}.img
Then make a full backup (except /data cuz i dont need ur info).

What do you mean by T-Mobile firmware? I'm on the T-Mobile firmware running IC. HK mod works flawlessly with Bluetooth and only flacs through 3.5mm jack.

how did u do it? some hrs after my last post i found a thread containing nands of most m8 firmwares. i downloaded the t-mobile 1.12.xxx (i forget the build number at the moment) and applied it on my fone.. isis full working but wen i applied h/k, the menu item did not show up and boomsound was gone. what software version did u have wen u applied h/k?
edit:
nevermind, i revisited the h/k thread and OP added 1.1x firmwares cant do it.. ugh.. i guess ill have to wait on isis for now..

Are you referring to Rom build #? I Always understood firmware to be that, that must flashed with adb through fastboot, requiring s-off.
Nevermind: Why don't you run a custom rom? Insertcoin supports T-Mobile US.

Yea im referring to Rom build. sorry for the confusion. I know how to flash thru fastboot, i have s-off. Now i want to know how @seawolf823 managed to get h/k working on t-mobile build despite the latest t-mobile rom being 1.12.xxx unless i am mistaken. I dont really want a custom rom just yet because i want to learn how to do specific mods that catch my attention. and cuz i find that most custom roms have a bit too many customizations i cant keep track what is what. I'm all for my phone performing like a monster but i dont want it to look like one just yet, not bashing on rom developers, i think they did amazing jobs, just i want a completely unmodified look, and of course removing bloatware i will never use.

You need to be on 1.54 for H/K to work. It is impossible to have H/K working on 1.12, the Settings.apk doesn't support the H/K settings. Even if you used a Settings.apk from 1.54 you still need the 1.54 framework for it to actually work.
Had to make my own ROM, but it works.

I understand this, it is clearly posted on the thread's OP, which is why im asking how the heck seawolf823 got H/K on T-Mobile, unless he's on a custom rom. Maybe im not reading clearly or everyone seems confused as to what im asking. I have the habit of doing as much research as i can before i lose patience, well in this case the OP-er hadn't added the prereq for 1.54 to the OP till like the day after i attempted the mod. anyways, not trying to start a war here.
I guess until US carriers start updating to 1.54, my question now is what custom rom supports AT&T or T-Mobile ISIS and is compatible with H/K?

He has to be on a Custom ROM, no way he is on 1.12 with H/K.
You need an xposed module to hide root from ISIS because it won't work if it detects root. Also from what I've seen no ROM includes the nfcee_access.xml that contains the ISIS signature, you would have to push that yourself.
Why not just use Google Wallet?

Revert back to 4.4

Im trying to help a friend here who has a European(UK) HTC One M8 fully stock lollipop and he wants to revert back to 4.4, can you advise what would be the easiest way to do this and any links for RUU's would be so great, many thanks in advance guys.

Those guys always seem to be a step behind, when they release a version, only works with the older firmwares, for example, the version number 3 will work almost 100% with 4.4.4. But not so sure about Lollipop.
Anyway, they are doing a good job.

How can they work on an exploit without having the final build in the first place? Of course they'll be behind as they have to work on it once released. They're also the ONLY ones now actually able to S-OFF the M8 so there's no other choice

You could try nandroiding it back to previous boot and Rom, factory reset first.
I tried this but couldn't boot past the HTC one screen, but apparantly worked for someone else.

Someone on the forums yesterday or the day before used Sunshine 2.8.4 and had success with S-Offing Lollipop. You should give it a try. You only pay if it will work, so there is nothing to lose.

True that. It worked perfectly.

I did read, they said it will work on some devices with 5.0, not all...so there are 10% chances to work on Lollipop. Bye.
P.S. 4.4.4. is the main target of Sunshine V3.

[Q] Unlocked Sprint update

Hello everyone!
I would greatly appreciate if someone could show the right way to get my phone fully functional;
SPRINT HTC ONE M8
GSM SIM UNLOCKED for use on GSM networks
S-OFF
Rooted
TWRP
HBOOT 3.18.0.0000
RADIO 1.08.20.0612_4
CID-11111111
software version: 2.16.654.4
android: 4.4.3.
Issue:
1. I can not install any OTA updates, and the notification keeps popping out.
2. Mobile data is just not working properly even though I did everything as said here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one-m8/general/enabling-3g-umts-countries-t2847461
As I did my research, it was some kind of a major bug on this series of Sprint M8 phones with breakdowns in mobile data. However, since I can not get any updates, the problem perists.
I tried installing custom ROM's, but so far ARHD 22 didn't even boot and LiquidSmooth couldn't detect the SIM card at all.
I know there are quite a few tutorials and "how-to" threads explaining all you need to know about RUU, cusotm ROM's, etc. However if someone could tell me what exactly to do and in which order (return to stock, then update?) I would greatly appreciate it.
Many many thanks!

Easiest way to get it back to stock is just flash the Sprint H/K RUU. You can download it from HERE. Just run it and connect your phone when prompted and follow the instructions (I'd probably change your CID back to the Sprint one first to be on the safe side but as you're S-OFF it shouldn't be needed). You might also need HTC Sync Manager installed. If so, you can get it HERE
This process will wipe the phone completely so back up any data first but other than that you'll at least be back to stock and then troubleshoot any issues from there

Thanks
Many thanks to everyone.
Any chances of loosing the SIM UNLOCK when going back to stock completely?

Nope, that shouldn't be touched but as I've not had a SIM-locked device in years I can't say for certain

You can or you can go to the Sprint android development and flash the updated recovery since you are s-off and it'll permit you to flash lollipop roms without many issues but there is still the files that need to be modified for ARHD to work correctly like the boot.img and a few others.

Power+vol up for about 15 seconds then power+vol down to get into recovery. You cant flash it unless you swap out Sprint specific files otherwise you'll get what just happened or boot directly into boot loader.
Like I mentioned I can pull the files together and see if I can get it working for Sprint tonight when I get home but until then flash either fluent Rom or stock if you want lollipop or just flash bad boyz if you don't mind kitkat

For me, the biggest issue is the mobile data breakdowns... I know I read somewhere a while ago it was an issue with some Sprint M8 models. I would like to get everything working w/o problems since it is GSM unlocked, and via QPST I unlocked all the bands.

4g LTE network problem!

Hey, Guys. I'm now having a really annoying Problem with the 4G Network. I bought my M8_UL in China and due to the product introduction, the China Version support only the FDD band 1 & 3. Now I want to use the 4G Network in Germany which is FDD band 20 & 7. I had my phone s-off and tried both the Europe RUU and Development RUU, but it still doesn't work! Anyone has an Idea, what should I do at this situation? Thank you all!!
p.s. there's no problem for lte connection in China and my o2 sim card in Germany can use lte in another phone

Up Up, the Problem is still not solved. Has anyone some ideas, really appreciate your help!

You flashed two RUUs with S-off and it didn't change anything? I believe that may be standard, as some of these .RUUs don't contain updates to the radio partition, right?
I believe there is a large repository of firmware / radio / etc flashables here on XDA, though I don't recall where I saw them. Perhaps finding one compatible with your region would be the way to go! I haven't any experience in this field yet, but hopefully this little bit of insight can push you in the right direction

Alternate service to send in HTC 10 since Sunshine is down.

Is there another service to send in my HTC 10 since the service by Sunshine doesn't exist?
I am unable to unlock the bootloader, the Sunshine app gives me a failure. I have no OEM bootloader option in the developer tools. I've made several attempts using the various forums so I can root the phone without success. I feel it's time to send it out to someone who can assist me.

I only know of a couple other shops that do it, but they are both also in the UK.
Other option, would be an XTC2 Clip/Power Adapter/Java Card, if they even still work after the HTC 10 has been updated to Oreo(not sure on that part).

I have orderd the XTC2 Clip/Power Adapter/Java Card and cables. Is the procedure available to unlock and root the phone available using this method?

I'm guessing,
http://xtc2clip.org/

Ebay. Do you have the procedure?

I've found this https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/unlock-your-htc-10s-bootloader-0178418/ after I read this thread, did you try that?
I'm a noob in a similar situation, have a completely stock non-branded Nougat and want to root and maybe install Viper or Lineage, but been putting it off cause I had to find a way to back up all the apps. Now I have to figure out a way to root/s-off quick, before my warranty runs out next month :S
edit: http://theroot.ninja/about.html seems to be up??

If your htc 10 is still on Nougat and ISN'T a Verizon device, then I think you can use Sunshine to S-OFF, don't hold me too it, but I believe you can. :good:
just download the app and try it out, it won't take your $$ of anything if it doesn't work, can't hurt to try.
I believe it is not working for Oreo and Pie htc 10 variants, and Verizon is needed to do by mail I think unless they fixed it for Verizon N as well.
Don't remember. but the website still says they do mail in, but I don't think they still are.
Give it a try and report back.

Got this message:
Failure!
SunShine was unable to gain root access to your device. You may need to gain "TempRoot" or "PermRoot" through some other means. For HTC Devices, unlocking with HTCDev.com and rooting with a custom recovery may work.

You can 100% unlock the bootloader @ htcdev and flash custom ROMs, you don't need soff for that.
I wouldn't update from N firmware until you try a few things out.
Maybe unlocking bl and rooting then sunshine will work?

Ah, that's good, didn't know that.
I'm gonna wait a few more days for an answer from the devs of the last app on my phone that can't back up via adb and its own backup process is broken. After that I'm gonna do what you said.
Is the guide I linked above ok or is there maybe an XDA guide to doing that? I looked at the Guides subforum here but there's too much stuff and I've never rooted a phone b4 so I'm not sure which thread I'm supposed to be looking at :silly:

Yea since you have the US locked version, or I think that's what you meant by unbranded. What's your firmware (in download mode) x.xx.617.xx or x.xx.401.xx
Here is the link for bootloader unlock: https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

No, I've got the EU version (or I suppose I do, I bought it in the EU). I meant that I got it from a retailer, not a cell network company like Verizon, since I see those need some special treatment. Software number is 2.41.401.41
