[Q] Updating my HTC One M8

Hey guys,
I've been searching but couldn't find anything that really helps with my problem. I bought an HTC One M8 last year, it was supposed to be unlocked from factory but when it arrived it turned out it was an unlocked AT&T model. Anyways so I tried to root the phone but it was already rooted and running a TWRP (I don't know how this happened as the phone was sealed when I got it) I have no problem with this but as the phone is rooted and doesn't have the stock recovery I can't get any OTA and I'm still in 4.4.2. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me update my device to stock 5.0.1 without flashing a custom ROM.
Thanks

First off, there is no stock 5.0.1 for the AT&T version yet. There isn't even a 4.4.4 released yes (although it might be anytime soon).
Further, you aren't going to receive any OTAs since you aren't connected to the AT&T network. Some folks not specifically familiar with AT&T will disagree, saying the OTAs will come over WiFi even if not connected to the specific carrier. But AT&T is pretty unique in this regard (well, maybe other carriers in the US do it too, but not WWE versions).
You can download an official RUU to upgrade to 4.4.3. Then wait for RUUs to be posted for 4.4.4 and/or 5.0.1. That is all you can do at this time without s-off. With s-off, you can convert to any version you want, and get official OTAs that way (such as convert to WWE version), or run the US Developer's Edition 5.0 RUU.

Excuse me but what is WWE exactly? Ok so my two options are use sunshine to make my htc s-off and convert to another version or flash a custom rom with 5.0.1?
Thanks for your help.

World Wide English. Which doesn't really say much. Its the "international" version sold in Europe and other places.

Nope, your second option won't work. You need firmware on your phone that is compatible with 5.0.1, otherwise WiFi will be broken, and.or extreme long boot times (>10 minutes). And the only way to update your firmware is with s-off (until AT&T releases more updates).
So really, if you want to update now, your only option is s-off.

Ok dude, thanks for your help. I guess I'll have to s-off

If you want to update now, that is what I suggest. I don't see LP coming to AT&T for another month at least, and it might be even longer than that (months). We're still waiting for 4.4.4.
Be sure to check bootloader and confirm if its s-on or s-off (says one or the other near the top of the hboot screen). Since it was already rooted and bootloader unlocked, who knows, you might have lucked out and gotten a phone that is already s-off as well.

Yeah and like you said if I'm not connected to the AT&T network I might never get the update so it is the only option. BTW I checked and it's S-On =(
Thanks for your help.

Hey M8 forums,
My S4 recently self destructed and I'm jumping ship to the M8 for T-Mo USA, I have a couple questions to prepare for it's arrival.
I'm coming off the S4 CM12 nightlies, are the M8 builds unified? As in, I can flash the standard CM release on my T-Mo variant?
And can I please get a link to the unlocking and rooting thread? The one I found has a method, but for s-off, the link seems to be down.
Thanks and greetings!

Most info can be found here,

?

As far as CM goes, I'm not familiar with T-Mobile variants... Sorry. ☺

As of now the M8 in cyanogenmod is unified, all the GSM variants are just labelled as "m8". and the CDMA variants have other names like cm-20140120-m8vzw for verizon.
Onto the rooting and unlocking, you can unlock using HTC Dev but S-OFF might be a little impossible if you get the m8 pre-installed with 4.4.4.
Honestly, to root all you need to do is unlock using the HTC Dev site and flash a custom recovery from TWRP or CWM.
then flash SuperSU not all that different from a Nexus.

I bought it off a guy that bought it a few weeks ago I believe, I haven't gotten it yet to see. It was my understanding that SunShine works on all M8's up to Lollipop. Is that not the case?
And what is a firmware? I keep seeing around to flash the Lollipop firmware, is that just the radio.img file or the whole RUU or what?

A firmware could be reffered to a whole RUU , because the ZIP that updates from 1.x to 3.x is a firmware.
Essentially a Firmware contains the essentials for a basic update (HTC version) , Radio, boot, Kernel, Bootloader, modem, etc.
An Update Firmware or RUU will contain all the partitions ,
boot, system, bootloader,hboot,modem,radio, cache, recovery , and so on.
And to some sunshine will work and to some it might not, it's a risk you're going to have to take, (to get s-off) worth it.
Though we shouldn't have to go through all these cracks and breaks to get it.
I used an older method and it worked for me, never had to use sunshine.

I was told that the older method ceased to work because it required a server connection to complete that is no longer up. And would using a RUU to get to Lollipop put the system back to S-On?

Flashing anything won't touch the S-OFF. You'd have to manually set that back to S-ON (but why would you want to do that!)

ROM for ATT One M8 OS:3.11.1700.5

Hello XDA forums. First off I would like to apologize if a thread or something like this already exists, but I already spent way too much time trying to unroot my friend's phone since his vibration motor stopped working. Basically all that I am looking for, is a rom that can be flashed on an ATT HTC One M8 with OS version: 3.11.1700.5 and HBOOT: 3.19. I tried flashing many Sense roms already, but they all don't work. What I think is that the rom's base firmware's second section after the initial number has to match the phone's OS version. An example of this would be with the Skydragon rom, where it is based on the 4.04.1700.4 firmware. But it still works even though it has a higher version number. So what it all comes down to, is that I need to find a rom that supports the x.1700 firmware line so I can flash it restore to stock (mostly at least) Also instructions for returning to complete stock while S-ON would be helpful. Last the stock rom would be the most preffered, since then I can use the stock recovery and relock the bootloader.

Skydragon isn't Sense, it's AOSP.
Try ViperOneM8 3.2.1.
Download link here.
Thread link here.
Or if you want to go back to stock, there are stock ROM/recovery threads here, or you could run the latest RUU from HTC's website.

Yes, you are right. Sorry. I'm trying to communicate through hangouts, and helping a few people here.
The RUU is your best/only option to convert back to Sense. The instructions are in the link I provided, and the download is at the bottom of the page. Make sure to back up anything important, because this will wipe the phone.

I tried out the RUU, but it failed saying that it is incompatible with this phone. I did download the appropriate version for the phone (AT&T) but still it failed. This was also from the official HTC website. This is why I think I have to download a version that has an x.x.1700 in its version number. A Skydragon rom that is based on 4.04.1700 works on the phone, even though the phone has version 3.28.1700 so I think that any rom that is based on the x.x.1700 line will work. I did try out some other Sense roms, but they failed since they were based on a different firmware (x.x.502).

So, do you have Dev Ed phone, or did you convert it?
There are no Dev Ed RUUs that I know of.
Would I be correct in assuming that you changed you CID/MID? And would I also be correct in assuming you are S-Off?
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------
By re-reading the thread, if no conversion took place, you need to flash the stock Dev Ed ROM and recovery to allow for HTCs OTA updates.

The phone is not S-OFF, it is merely bootloader unlocked and is bought from ATT, so it is the ATT version of the phone with the appropriate AT&T branding. The phone was never S-OFF'ed and has no capabilities to do so, since it came out of the box with a patched firmware. And we are not going to pay 20$ for Sunshine, not because we think that it is a rip-off but it is quite hard to convince parents to spend money on phone that they do not know is rooted. I imagine that my friend's dad would be greatly agitated if he found out about him having rooted his phone.
Personal note:
I do not think that sunshine is a rip-off, as I understand that trying to crack the most basic level of a security on a phone is really quite hard and there are a lot of expenses involved.

I'm not suggesting you get s-off, I'm asking if you are.
Your phone is a Dev Ed model. You will need a stock Dev Ed ROM and recovery to update via OTA.
Go here, and search for both. They are available in that thread.

Yeah, the developer RUU didn't work either. I looked at that page but I can't find any roms or RUU's with the x.1700 firmware. I have tried multiple times to restore from a Nandroid backup that had the same CID as me but different firmware version but it always failed.
Sorry if that came out as aggressive before.

Developers Edition, unable to update.

Hey all, im not very software proficient, and I need some help in updating my HTC One M9 to Marshmallow.
I recently purchased it from my friend, and apparently, its an International version that is also the developers edition.
It came with TWRP already installed, but I flashed the stock recovery so that I could install the update from HTC itself, But everytime it finishes downloading the update, it gives me an error about it not downloading the correct file. I dont get it, cause its pretty much downloading it by itself, how can it not download the right version.
Is there anyway for me to check and find out exactly what version of the phone this is. Can someone please send me a reliable download link for the official Marshmallow update (already tried using the file on the official HTC website, but apparently had a file size flash limit, this was when using TWRP, not the official recovery) and detailed steps on how to flash it. I have tried multiple ways and have always stumbled upon several errors. Really hoping that nothing is wrong with my phone.
Thank you in advance.

Are you sure it's a developer edition, how do you know this?.

I dont know if it is or not, because when I got the phone, on startup it would give me text in red saying "developers edition, this phone is not for resale of distribution outside blah blah" I dont remember the exact text. But after I flashed the official recovery file, it doesnt give me that anymore.
So lets say its not a developers edition, how do I go about updating it?

That text is an indication that the bootloader got unlocked and that someone flashed something so that the phone is modified and not stock, anymore. It has nothing to do with the developer edition of the M9. The developer edition is just a US version of the M9 which gets delivered with a factory unlocked bootloader. Therefore chances are high that you flashed the wrong (in other words an incompatible) stock recovery. You need to find out the current firmware version of the phone and restore everything to stock by using a TWRP backup or a RUU. My signature contains a link to my google sheet. There you'll find instructions how to find and flash the correct RUU or how to find and correctly restore a corresponding TWRP backup. If you don't follow the instructions you won't be able to update your phone. Updates for the M9 and every other HTC phone that is newer are different than the ones for older HTC phones. My sheet might not contain a RUU for your firmware or a corresponding backup since I don't support every existing firmware. However you can find additional files in my thread (which is linked in the sheet, too, or can be found by visiting the general section). If no one contributed the files you need here on xda you'll need to use Llabtoofer's RUU service. Be aware that it's not for free.

Just to be sure, if my friend who was previously using this phone, flashed another rom on it with the incorrect version, wouldnt the software number also change? Is there no other way to confirm the version of the phone?

The number in settings > about changes with the rom you're flashing. The one located in the download mode only changes if you update the phone with an official OTA or if you set your phone S-OFF via sunshine (which costs 25 bucks) and flash a RUU (or one of sneakyghost's firmware packs) with a different sku afterwards. However if the phone is S-OFF it wouldn't matter which RUU he flashed since with S-OFF almost every RUU can be used with your phone. Only CDMA versions (e.g. Verizon ones) stay incompatible.
Tl;dr: Just flash the 1.32.61.15 one. It's either way compatible with the phone.

Mobile data not available (disconnected)

Hi. I have a M9 with model id 0PJA100. I bought it unlocked and s-off. One day, I flashed this rom named ICE with android nougat. After that, I cannot use my mobile data. I installed back stock rom to this phone and it is still the same. I can answer call and sms but I cannot get any mobile data. Today, I flashed Viper M9 v6 (nougat) and during the setup, I got H+ signal only for a few second and then it dissapeared. I dont really understand the problem and managed to install a lot of rom before. If anyone have any idea that can possibly make this device working, please reply to this thread. I hate to use my 5s as daily driver.

Are you sure? I know that this was the case when you tried to use an android M rom with an android L firmware. However, I haven't heard of such cases after people flashed an android N rom on an android M firmware. Sometimes newer HTC stock roms/stock-based custom roms are booting fine on older firmware versions (but that doesn't mean that there won't be any other issues due to the mismatch of the rom base and the current firmware).

Yes i just know that my phone is an international version. Before this i thought it was verizon m9. Verizon did not release any nougat based firmware. But i think there is international version of nougat available
For the marshmallow to nougat question, i encountered some issues with the other rom. Some roms doesnt boot up and some others stuck on setup wizard since wifi cannot be enable.
So do u think i need to flash international version of nougat on my phone? Will it fix this mobile network problem.

If you already flashed a Verizon firmware then you definetely need to flash a GSM RUU and should hope that your phone didn't get damaged unrecoverably. GSM devices and CDMA firmware (or vice versa) aren't compatible with each other.
Did you change your CID or your MID somewhen in the past? If not then please boot to download mode and tell us what version is stated behind "OS". If you did then I hope you wrote down your original MID and CID. At the moment I'd recommend you to flash whatever RUU belongs to your original firmware version since the issues you describe shouldn't happen if you use the correct stock rom.
After all reception problems on the stock rom got solved we can think about updating your phone to android 7 but at the moment we should only make one step at a time.

My phone has SuperCID. Based on download mode, the OS- 3.37.605.13. Model ID 0PJA100 as stated before. I think the OS version is vzw not wwe since i flashed the vzw before. Actually, I bricked this device after i had my "mobile data disconnected" problem and asked somebody to help me fix it, and he flashed that firmware version (it is my fault since i thought this phone is verizon m9).
So, should I fully flash the wwe 3.35 firmware? Or what?

That's odd. I would have expected the current MID to be 0PJA30000. Did the MID get changed back to its original state after you flashed the Verizon RUU? Normally the M9 shouldn't accept a RUU if the MID doesn't match. Even the SCID won't change this fact, anymore, as it did on older HTC phones. Or are you talking about the original MID of the phone that is stated on the backside of the phone? I assume the answer to this question is yes since the MID you're talking about is two zeros too short for being a digital MID. Only the engraving on the backside of the phone uses this short version of MIDs.
Revert the SCID to one of the CIDs that belong to SKU 401 (but don't choose the demo unit CID HTC__002), if needed revert the MID to the one that belongs to this SKU and then flash the 3.35.401.12 RUU. Instructions can be found in the FAQ section of the ReadMe thread (the stickied one in the Q&A section and the General section).
After you flashed the GSM RUU your phone should be working normally, again, if the Verizon RUU didn't damage it unrecoverably. In addition, you should be able to install two OTAs (the latter is the update for Android 7) via the software update function of the phone.

I dont get any mobile network, even worse than before. I flashed 3.35.401.12 like u told so. Do i need to flash it manually by extracting the folder and flash all the img inside it independently? If u have any suggestion let me know.
UPDATE: Actually i dont think the problem is with verizon firmware since I had the problem after I flashed ICE nougat rom (I came from SDreamTeam Sense8 rom). After that I bricked the device and told other person to help me flash vzw firmware because I thought it was verizon m9. This problem is very weird and i dont know how to relate the ICE rom with my current problem. OP of ICE rom said the rom not compatible with verizon m9 but since this phone is not verizon m9, i dont think there should be a problem right?

The RUU needs to get flashed via the SD card method that is described in the ReadMe thread.
As written there and in some of my posts in this thread, GSM devices and CDMA firmware (or vice versa) aren't compatible with each other due to the different partition layouts. Therefore, cross-flashing can lead to unrecoverable damages.
I can't tell you what happened while you've been using ICE and therefore I can't tell you whether your phone had been in a recoverable state at that time. However, chances are high that flashing a Verizon RUU instead of the correct GSM RUU was the nail in the coffin of your phone. Sorry, that I don't have better news.
Edit: Oh, and please remove the quote from your last post. It's not necessary to quote me every time you post here.

That's not the Verizon MID. Don't flash anything unless you definetely know which version of the M9 you own.
Did Verizon already release the android N update? I haven't heard of it, yet.
Are you sure? I know that this was the case when you tried to use an android M rom with an android L firmware. However, I haven't heard of such cases after people flashed an android N rom on an android M firmware. Sometimes newer HTC stock roms/stock-based custom roms are booting fine on older firmware versions (but that doesn't mean that there won't be any other issues due to the mismatch of the rom base and the current firmware).

Exactly that, it's not worth the risk seeing as many people have reported that their phone won't boot after mismatching roms to base firmware. Updating to a nougat custom rom to a marshmallow firmware would be bad as the api's are completely different and would explain the non booting situation.
So, until someone can confirm that flashing a nougat custom rom over a marshmallow base is 100% safe I'm going to swing with "yes I'm sure".

Re-read what I posted. I never said that it would be "100% safe" *. Of course there'll be problems due to the mismatch. I was only asking whether there have been reports about bootloops. (Btw, Android n and Android m don't differ as much as Android m and Android l did.) And according to this post the brick didn't happen directly after flashing the nougat rom.
However, I searched through the dev section yesterday and according to the Viper thread and the 4.x TWRP Backup thread people have been able to boot nougat roms on Android m. A lot of them faced problems. E.g. I have read about many user who used the old firmware and faced overheating and/or battery drain problems in the backup thread. They all needed to root their rom for getting rid of the problems. (Altough I personally can't explain why SuperSU should be able to fix those problems...) It seems like users with the newer firmware on the other hand don't necessarily have to face these issues. Take my phone as an example. It's running just fine without any heat and/or battery problems.
* Although I think that the usage of "safe" might imply that flashing a rom might damage your phone and that's not the case. The worst things that can happen are a bootloop or if the rom is booting fine some lags/bugs. Only flashing an incompatible firmware (via a RUU or a firmware pack) leads to damages.
Edit: Don't know how I could forget that but the answer to the OP's original problem with the reception on ICE is probably explained with Q1 of the FAQ section.

Since u didn't reply, i assume my device now damaged unrecoverably right?
EDIT: SORRY, I DID NOT GET ANY NOTIFICATION AND DONT READ THIS FORUM. VERY SORRY MY BAD. I AM VERY NEWBIE IN THIS KIND OF THINK.

Thanks for the reply. Again sorry for my previous quote just now. Yes i read that q&a section and i did not have any of the problem except no mobile internet data. I can receive and make a phone call. Only mobile internet data. I am from 3.35 firmware if i am not mistaken since there was no official update after I purchased the phone. But NOW, I faced the problem after flashed GSM RUU. I do it twice, through exe and sdcard method. I also changed my CID and MID as u told me to.

The thing is that we don't know your original CID and your original firmware version. Not every SKU had a 3.35.x firmware version. That's why I'm guessing what the first problem might have been. If you say that there hasn't been any update at that time you probably used one of the SKUs that didn't have a 3.35.x firmware since those are the majority of SKUs that received the Android n update at a later time. But again, I can only assume what happened.
The problems you're facing now are probably a consequence of the cross-flashing. If flashing a GSM RUU could fix them then they're unrecoverable.

So if i can find my original firmware version, i can solve this problem (if the verizon does not damage it) by flashing that version on my phone right? The only thing that I remember on my phone after i bought it is, it does not have any bloatware such as kid mode app, and when i clicked on software update, it said "please connect to XXXX to check an update" or something like that. XXXX referred to service provider in usa but i dont remember what company it was. I think there are still hope to recover this device.

I don't think that we can recover the phone even if we knew it's original firmware. That's why they're called "unrecoverable" damages.
For a GSM M9 it doesn't matter which RUU you flash (as long as it isn't a CDMA RUU). So if one GSM RUU didn't fix the situation then a different one won't be able to do so, either. And that's the reason why the ReadMe thread warns everybody not to cross-flash firmware files.
That part of my last post you're referring to was an explanation why I think that you faced problems with ICE. It has nothing to do with your current situation.
