My M8 has the CID of HTC_044 and I would like to flash latest ROM. However it requires latest firmware, ie 2.22.401.4, I am wondering if it is safe to flash the firmware to my device being with different CID as the firmware's android-info does not contain my device CID.
I have S-OFF on my device, I am wondering if I change mt CID to supercid would allow my device to run the firmware without issue.
Thanks in advance.
Yep,if your phone is supercid,u can flash that firmware...

If your firmware for CID HTC__044 is 2.22.707.3, it is not necessary for you to flash another firmware to run a 2.22.401.4 ROM.
As long as the firmware is 2.22.xxx.x ... you're good to go.
Anyway it's up to you if you want to flash 2.22.401.4 firmware but your Radio will be the EU region if the firmware that you flash come with radio image. If you currently in Asia, it's best to keep 2.22.707.3 firmware

When we read firmware we look at x.xx.707.x not 2.22.7xx.x
You don't need 2.22.707.3 firmware if you already done the OTA update.
Please advise your current firmware that you have ... check what is written on the bootloader ... is it 1.54.707.7 or 2.22.707.3 ?
If it is 1.54.707.7 then you need to do OTA update.
If it is 2.22.707.3 then you're good to flash any ROM.

Couldn't check my firmware version as the OS field is empty in the bootloader.
Hboot: 3.16.0.0000
Radio: 1.16.2133156.UA10G
But I highly doubt my firmware is 2.22.707.3, I would think it is more likely to be 1.54.707.7 as I have rooted by phone before newer firmware roll out.
So can I use your firmware in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376&page=141
and flash it by using this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

Right ... your current hboot is 3.16 so it's 1.54.707.7
I suggest that you restore 1.54.707.7 stock Backup, flash back stock recovery and do the OTA (no need to relock bootloader or S-On .. OTA update work on unlocked bootloader and S-Off)
I don't post firmware on XDA. Those that I posted are recovery and stock backup.
If you insist to update firmware without OTA update .. that's you call. Someone maybe will guide you how to do it as I don't feel comfortable telling how to update firmware.

Great
Now you can flash any Sense 6 custom ROM that you like.
Only remember that you don't need to flash another firmware, your current one is good enough.. just flash ROM.
I am having the same issue - I have the HTC__044 and need new firmware to get the newest ROM.
I am S-On and CANT get S-off (s-off needed to flash firmware)...firewater does not work with my phone after multiple tries.
I tried getting Sunshine to work for s-off, but I need to be on a stock Sense ROM (I am on Viper 1.8) and don't have a stock backup. I can't find ANY stock ROM's online! Once I have supercid i was going to flash firmware, but without S off...I'm going nowhere (it seems)
anyone have an idea where I should start?

Everything that you need is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
1. Restore nandroid backup 1.54.707.7
2. flash stock recovery 1.54.707.7
3. reboot and check for OTA
4. install OTA
5. done .. your ROM will be 4.4.3 - 2.22.707.3
6. flash any 4.4.3 custom ROM that you like if any
All above no need to relock bootloader or S-Off, it works on S-On
If you want to S-Off with sunshine, step 1 & 2 then sunshine
or after step 5 then sunshine (both way should work)

I'm still a little on the noob side with rooting/flashing..I am at work and don't have time to read much - i will go home and give it a go... I'm sure I will have lots of questions
A quick look at the site, i saw lots of recoveries but not very many stock ROMs. I mainly just need a plain/rooted stock Sense rom to run Sunshine. After which i can flash new firmware, then the new custom ROM i've been wanting. Also, does a nandroid HAVE to be HTC__044, or can it be any WWE cid? (like anything that's "HTC__xxx")?
Excuse my ignorance...trying to learn as much as possible
I just got my m8 from Tmobile today, and I am on firmware 157.531.7
I've checked several times for updated firmware, but always comes back nothing.
Am I stuck on this, or will it take awhile for the network to "see me" and send it?
not rooted, fully stock for now
thanks so much!

If your main purpose to restore to stock to get SunShine working, then any nandroid backup will do either HTC__044 or WWE. You don't really need a rooted stock as SunShine works on non-rooted ROM too.
As you said you're a noob, that is why I suggest to restore to 1.54.707.7 then OTA to 2.22.707.3 so you don't need to manually flash firmware to get other custom ROMs running flawlessly. It is not necessary to have 2.22.401.4 firmware but it is necessary to have a 2.22.xxx.x firmware for those custom ROMs, unless you're not in Asia.
As you can see in my sig, I'm on 2.22.707.3 firmware, I can run any ROM without problem.
Being a noob, you may make a stupid mistake when flashing firmware.
There is also by mike or so a stock Rom as a zip.
Flash it like a custom Rom Flash the stock kernel and better the recovery and do sunshine...easier then with getting nandroid backup etc

Hi One-M8-Master,
I've read quite a few of your posts & given that your moniker seems appropriate, I'm wondering if you might be able to help me?
I've posted this on another thread but haven't got very far as yet, so am hoping that you might be able to get me out of the stupid hole I've dug myself into :fingers-crossed:
It is quite a long description but if you don't fall asleep reading it, I'd really appreciate any help you might be able to give me.....Here goes:
"Hi Guys,
Now I know you're all already thinking that I didn't update my firmware before I flashed ARHD & now I'm getting all the problems that come along with not doing that......& you'd be correct....kind of. HOWEVER, as it turns out, I already seem to have it. Let me explain.
As you can see, I'm relatively new to all this but successfully unlocked, rooted & installed a custom ROM on my ASUS TF700T tablet, so I wanted to do it with my One M8. I always do loads of reading before I start anything (I even read the instructions for new games before I attempt to play them because I'm a bit weird like that!) but what happened on this occasion was that I did the reading, unlocked the phone, flashed TWRP, & rooted it but then ran into the problem that some people appear to have had when trying to s-off via the adb commands & Firewater, that is, my pc could see the phone but when I gave the reboot command, it told me it wasn't connected.
I then got into hours of reading to try & solve this issue, discovered that (without Sunlight) on some devices it just doesn't work once you've accepted the 'should we allow this pc to connect every time' message (which I NEVER normally say 'yes' to), unless you install the Android Studio & Java Develpers Kits, update your version of adb, & force the phone to ask again (which I did but it turned out that I already had the latest version of adb, so that route proved fruitless!). I actually missed a night's sleep trying to resolve the problem, so work wasn't good the next day! but I think it is here is where my problems started because I was so tired & frustrated that I just picked a ROM & flashed it. I had even read the warning about not flashing it if you didn't have the correct firmware but I think that being so tired, it didn't really sink in, or I'd forgotten about it by the time I just flashed the ROM.
By this point, I'd been sat in front of my pc for about 30 hours & needed to go to work but the phone was actually booting through to ARHD, so I was relatively happy in the knowledge that at least I hadn't bricked it! On starting to use the phone that evening, I noticed the long boot times & then that my Sense 6 Toolbox didn't seem to be making any changes, even if I rebooted the device, so I went back to the beginning of this thread & started reading again. Thus, I re-read the firmware warning & panicked (my 2nd mistake!), thinking that I was getting the problems because I hadn't updated the firmware (it still didn't occur to me to just check because I think I just assumed that I wouldn't have it). So.....I tried to restore my TWRP backup of the stock ROM that I made after I had unlocked/rooted, with the intention of reverting to the stock ROM, getting the OTA update & then re-flashing ARHD but despite TWRP telling me that the backup had been successful, the phone went into a bootloop back into TWRP. I solved this by re-flashing the ARHD ROM that I knew at least would get my phone out of the bootloop & back into KitKat, which it did. I then checked what version of the firmware I had & to my surprise, my Build Number in About\Software Information\More says "2.22.401.4 CL365360 release-keys", so it looks like I had the correct firmware version all along?
The above being the case, I'm now puzzled as to why I'm getting the problems that I'm getting with ARHD? Does anyone have any clues/answers that might get me out of this hole I've dug for myself & get my awesome One M8 working like it should?
I know I've caused this problem by doing things when I was too tired to think straight but I'm fresh as a daisy now (still fairly noobish but fresh ) & now I need your help to sort myself out. I would be so grateful for any help anyone can give me to get me back on track.
I hope all of that makes sense & thanks in advance."
@dan5001
The firmware you speak of is the displayed version main number of the flashed rom. It has no relation to your actual installed firmware. Check your bootloader and post here what it says. I bet it is still hboot 3.16 and if that's the case your firmware is not updated.

Hi.
This is my own fault but I'm getting really frustrated with it because I've probably spent a total of 40 hours on it so far
I tell you that because I know that I needed S-OFF & SUPER CID to be able to update my firmware, so I just thought "screw it" & I paid for Sunshine. I now have S-OFF & following Vomer's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
I now have S-OFF & SUPER CID. I thought that would be the end of my issues but it would appear not!
Looking at my bootloader, you are correct, HBOOT is 3.16.0.0000!
However, I've tried to upgrade this firmware by downloading what I think is the correct update .zip from the list at the bottom of the aforementioned Vomer's guide (v2.22.401.5 (Rename to firmware.zip after downloading)), renaming it as suggested, & then flashing it in TWRP but it just keeps telling me that the update has failed!
Do I have to do it using the adb commands on Vomers guide? I didn't think so but it's just not working??
I appreciate any help you can give me with this. Given that I've spent so long on this & have paid for Sunshine, you can see that I'm trying to help myself but I've still got rain!!
EDIT
Just a thought, I do still have ARHD v10.2 installed at the moment because even though it's not working properly without the correct firmware, it's the only ROM I've got at the moment, so it means I can use the M8 to a degree; would that cause the problem with upgrading the firmware?
Firmware flash can be done via fastboot commands, that's how i did it
Installed rom has no influence on the to flash firmware, try it via fastboot
ok i have been searching for answer for quite a while and did not find anything so i am forced to ask here.
i am on latest 2.22.401 firmware and still have long boot time with latest arhd 10.2
i also started getting red developers warning text which i thought i got rid of 4 months ago.
i am on rogers
gapps crashes to on first boot.
any insights?
Any help?

2.22.401 is international firmware, and is known to not play well with US version M8, so I'm just guessing Rogers would have the same story. Rogers versions are usually very similar to AT&T (if not outright identical aside from branding); as the companies have a close association and actually the same company at one time.
If this is correct, you should try the 2.221540 firmware. This is the firmware packed with the US Developer's Edition and seems to work much better for US users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54408500&postcount=9592
Also packaged with the ROM here (this is the one I used, personally): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Also, firmware package contains hboot, so the modified (no red text) hboot you flashed previously was overwritten. The 2nd link I gave above contains a "no red text" hboot.
Hi, I'm having the same issues with the same firmware 2.22.401.4 and latest version of ARHD 10.2. Reboot takes ~2-3 minutes.
Any ideas? Also if someone could tell me if there's any other way of accomplishing S-OFF, besides Firewater/Sunshine? (it's annoying to look at the red text for 3 minutes)
I've got the European model, unlocked and rooted, cidnum: HTC_032
Thanks.

If you are not s-off then you don't have the latest firmware. You either s-off and flash 2.22.401.4 firmware, or you remain s-on and downgrade your rom to arhd 8.1, or you return to stock and wait the official OTA to update firmware

Thanks for the advice.
I'm not very experienced, so basically what you are saying is that it's not enough to flash a ROM with sw#2.22.401.4?
Currently i reverted to the newest stock i could find (One_M8_2.22.401.4_odexed) and the boot time is slightly better.
ARHD experience was clearly better, with the sense toolbox and all the features from Xposed, but as I mentioned earlier i can't get S-OFF with firewater, and not willing to try Sunshine YET.
Any idea if my firmware will update OTA running this stock version?
Was looking for a ROM that would contain the firmware 2.22.401.4, but couldn't find any, so if you have a link, I would highly appreciate it.

You are correct flashing a ROM based on 2.22.401.4 is not enough. you need to flash the firmware as well. This can be done only by s-off or if you get the official OTA from HTC. To get the official OTA from HTC you need to have stock rom and stock recovery.
You can get a stock 1.54.401.10 and a stock recovery for 1.54.401.10 here:

Nope. In short, the "firmware" updates a lot of modules that are not touched when you flash a ROM.

Ok, I think I got it, but feel free to correct me, I'd rather look stupid than stupid with a shiny brick.
I'll flash the stock rom 1.54.401.10 from TWRP.
I'll reboot into fastboot and flash the stock recovery.
After this my FW should update to 1.54.401.10 OTA?

You are correct with the exception that your firmware must already be 1.54.401.10. You will be waiting for the official 2.22.401.4 OTA from HTC after which you will be able to flash any 4.4.3 ROM based on 2.22.401.4.
I really have no idea though if HTC__032 has received the OTA yet or not.
The new firmware is not fully compatible with hboot 3.16 if you have s-off, flasha this file to fastboot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358556103.

I have same problem ,i have insert coin 4.0.5 rom and rom version 2.22.401.4 > kernel ElementalX 1.02 for this rom version (2.22.401.4) But I bought three days ago my m8, I had a system 1.54.401.5 then I got OTA to 1.54.401.10 (I'm from Poland)......and ended up as 1.54.401.10 HTC says that there is no newer update. So I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and root. Unfortunately, as I try to do the S-OFF mistake I see so SuperCID is not to do the same with the RUU and uploading packages by "fastboot". So now the question. my cid is HTC__32 article display 1.54.401.10 me as the newest system. So for HTC__32 no recent update and I have to wait? Upload in twrp backup 1.54.401.10 then the "fastboot" recovery1_54_401_10.img and type "fastboot oem lock"? Then wait for the OTA update? Will it work?
PLS HELP
1.54.401.10 seems to be the latest OTA update for HTC_032 cidnumber.
I've just finished reverting to stock 1.54.401.10, both ROM and recovery, and no updates so far. It's a waiting game i guess because i know some ppl from here in Romania who already got the 4.4.3 update OTA.
getting S-OFF doesn't work for me (with firewater), so for now, I'm just glad i could get rid of the pesky Orange branded ROM.
@Bajdaspl: you will need to switch back to stock recovery (NOT TWRP) and ROM and wait for the OTA. Only other way is to S-OFF, but that doesn't work for me either (dunno about the Sunshine + 25$ method tho)

I've just finished reverting to stock 1.54.401.10, both ROM and recovery, and no updates so far. It's a waiting game i guess because i know some ppl from here in Romania who already got the 4.4.3 update OTA.
getting S-OFF doesn't work for me (with firewater), so for now, I'm just glad i could get rid of the pesky Orange branded ROM.
@Bajdaspl: you will need to switch back to stock recovery (NOT TWRP) and ROM and wait for the OTA. Only other way is to S-OFF, but that doesn't work for me either (dunno about the Sunshine + 25$ method tho)

When can I expect the OTA August in Poland HTC__32 ?
Excuse me, but what does it have to do with the ota?

I have same problem ,i have insert coin 4.0.5 rom and rom version 2.22.401.4 > kernel ElementalX 1.02 for this rom version (2.22.401.4) But I bought three days ago my m8, I had a system 1.54.401.5 then I got OTA to 1.54.401.10 (I'm from Poland)......and ended up as 1.54.401.10 HTC says that there is no newer update. So I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and root. Unfortunately, as I try to do the S-OFF mistake I see so SuperCID is not to do the same with the RUU and uploading packages by "fastboot". So now the question. my cid is HTC__32 article display 1.54.401.10 me as the newest system. So for HTC__32 no recent update and I have to wait? Upload in twrp backup 1.54.401.10 then the "fastboot" recovery1_54_401_10.img and type "fastboot oem lock"? Then wait for the OTA update? Will it work?

What S-off method did you try, and what was the result?
If checking for the OTA does not find an update, it likely hasn't rolled out for your version yet.
You need to relock the bootloader for OTA (only RUU) and doing so will wipe the phone. You need stock recovery, and no system files altered by root.
I fixed mine!
I had the same issue, I was using software version 1.55.666.4 , and the only way I could get the phone to restart without having to wait about 5 mins, was flashing a stock ROM, since then I flashed the stock recovery, and did the OTA which took me to 2.23.666.2, reflashed ARHD 10.1 , and it's working like a charm!

Did you relock the bootloader as well?

You don't need to relock bootloader to receive OTA, just stock recovery.

hi all
my friend tried to update his phone, and all he's got is:
the phone can't boot into recovery. stuck on "entering recovery"
insert coin rom (v 3.0.8) works fine, except the play store!
i tried to flash a new recovery with no success. finally i flash a twrp by captain throwback version 2.8.0.6, and wow it works!
now, i'm wanna to update his M8 to least android version.
fastboot getvar all:
m8_ul

CID: HTC__K18
MID: 0P6B10000
HBOOT: 3.16.0.0000
version main: empty
settings >> about >> software information:
android version 4.4.2
sense 6.0
InsertCoin version 3.0.8
build number 1.54.401.10
can i simply flash 4.16.401.10 firmware.zip, least TWRP version, ARHD 34.0 (don't worry i don't forget the boot.img )
or
it's better to return to stock and perform software updates?
by the way,
the build number in settings, is the current firmware.zip that installed? or the firmware that the rom based on??
thank's
i read somewhere that its safer to flash firmwares in row, start at 1.54.401.10 then the others in the x.xx.401.xx line
you can also try simply to flash the latest RUU. maybe you get some wifi errors.
i was on 3.xx.401 firmware and installed the 4.x DEV RUU without any errors
yeah the build number in settings shows the rom base.
ok, thanks

so, i cannot know the exact firmware he has..
i'm asked that because the safest way to update is going back to stock. i found only 1.54.401.5 NAND Backups.
i'm afraid to flash the wrong nand backup..
how can i know which firmware he has?

If you want to go the save way Try the 1.54.401.x RUU.exe from the thread. Then you should be fine to apply the otas
Dont be to afraid from flashing wrong files in most cases your phone wont get bricked it just dont boot up

Version main is empty because of the older recovery. Try to flash TWRP 2.8.4.0 again.
You can't flash the firmware zip without being S-Off. Sunshine is the only way to do it now, and it costs $25 (totally worth it). Or you could return to stock and take the OTAs. (stock ROM and recovery plus unmodified system partition)
The build number in settings is in fact the ROM base, and not the current firmware version.

first thanks for your help!
i will try this tomorrow .
on my m8 I bought sunshine (totally worth it) agree
but before i have s-off i'm flashed new firmware.zip (you have to relock your bootloader)
s-off lets you to flash firmware.zip without Signature and without relock

Another part of the problem is that HTC updates incrementally. You can't just leap frog from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1.
Once you get S-Off, you can flash a firmware zip from this thread. @Sneakyghost makes his firmware packages so that you don't have to flash each update one at a time. You can just jump to the newest.
But.....from the readout on the earlier post, it is WWE and there is an RUU for that. It is signed, so it should work. It will only get you to 4.4.4. (3.28.401.9 is the newest on this thread). You could try to flash the Lolly firmware after you have updated to this.
Hello guys,does anyone have a 3.29.166.9 twrp backup? Or a m8 with cid-vodap110 so he or she can make a fresh nandroid backup so i can go back to stock. I tried x.x.161.x backups but they don't work with cid-vodap110. Vodap110 is specific cid for Swisscom ch. Thanks in advance
No one has it?
Why don't you contact the other guy that already updated to 4.xx.166.x
Ask him for system part only. Then you can use it to update by flashing firmware first.
(I have the firmware but no backup)
Are you running a rooted/modified stock ROM now ? If yes, you can backup that and upload for me.. I will try to fix the error.
If you're running a custom ROM, you can flash the updated firmware and then install a lollipop custom ROM ... this can be done too.

I'm running a 4.16.401.10 stock firmware,and it works great even if it's not for my cid,but i would like to have official ota and for that i need stock firmware. I contacted many users with .166 firmwares but no one want's to make a backup :/
You don't run 4.16.401.10 stock firmware but you run a stock 4.16.410.10 ROM.
You can flash your stock firmware 4.19.166.2 then run 4.16.401.10 .. at least you can have a lollipop firmware running a lollipop software.

Yes,you are right i just restored a nandroid backup that i found here on xda. My firmware is probably 3.29.166.9 because when i enter bootloader is says OS-3.29.166.9
Need to totally factory start my HTC ONE M8
Hi guys, i really hope you can help me here.
I have a HTC ONE M8. It is a UK version on EE carrier. the CID is ORANG001. in fast boot it is blank next to OS- (don't know if tyhat matters at this point) I have S-Off through SUNSHINE. I have no oringinal back up. I have tried flashing the recovery found in my OTA updtate and several others that say they should work in various other threads, all through ADB Fastboot says it sends and writes ok but has no effect.
I have unrooted, factory booted, and am at the end of my tether. EE will not replace the handset if it is tampered and i really dont want to have to pay for a totally new one.
Hello everyone,
Phone: HTC one M9
CID: Vodap021
MID: 0PJA10000
Software number: 2.9.710.2
My phone bootloader was unlocked, I tried to get the OTA update but it failed. I re-locked the bootloader, flashed the stock recovery and re-tried but it is still not able to be updated.
Any help, please?!!!

You need to flash a RUU (if one exists for your firmware) or to restore a TWRP backup (which can be found here). When you flash something with TWRP your system gets mounted as read/write. OTAs can only be installed if your system is untouched and mounted as read-only. That's why you need a RUU or a TWRP backup to recover the ability of installing OTAs.
The problem that I couldn't find any ruu.
I'll try the twrp thing. Thank you so much

Did you even think about reading the instructions in my google sheet? They clearly state that you have to restore the backup that corresponds to your current firmware version. Now you're using a rom based on 2.9.710.5 and the firmware 2.9.710.2. You couldn't install OTAs with that combination, either.
Besides version 2.9.710.5 is the latest for your SKU (710) so of course you don't receive update notifications since there are no further updates. Until now only the developer and the "unlocked" variant of the M9 got an official marshmallow update (both have the SKU 617). And before you start asking: No, your phone is not the "unlocked" variant. If you're interested you can look at the explanation I posted here.
