htc one m8 "variant system version" !!!!

i have htc one m8 unbranded ... i bought it with nocturnal software !! it weird but i go back to stock using ruu "t-mobile" version cause i didn't find the unbranded version ... now after download the new ota update 4.4.4 eye ... i got message
"variant system version" >> you are running a modified version,.. for protection cannot update, plz revert to htc software system
the screenshot attach.
my current info:
locked bootloader
S-OFF
CID:11111111
plz help me XDA :fingers-crossed:

If you a custom recovery, or xposed, or have altered/removed any system apps, the Ota will fail.
You are s-off and super CID. Why not just flash the new firmware manually?
See the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" guide in development section. ?

thank you sir .. flash firmware will get me to stock and update ota with no problem or what ??
btw which firmware to download ... or my super cid will accept any firmware number !!!
my now software no. 2.22.531.6 not in the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" ??
am sry just changed from iphone, and i barely understand you

Don't do it!
Seriously, do not go stock. Just unlock your bootloader (can you be s off and supercid without? I never knew).
Once you do that, you can flash firmware from any carrier, then flash any updated ROM for that version.
You will never have to wait for carrier updates.
If you go stock, you will always be playing catch-up.

yes am sure of that am "locked" "S-oFF" and "CID:11111111" but i don't understand what a firmware will do to me !!!!!
but i understand this: unlock the bootloader ,,, then i will download any firmware with any number ?? really ? .. then download any custom rom ? like viper one...
and then if i do that i will recive 4.4.4 updates without any problems ? i think NO, custom roms prevent ota updates, so i have to check the sites of the rom from time to time to update ??
thank you
ex *i can't get viper one 3 rom untill updated to 4.4.4

Flashing firmware will not return you to stock But flashing the latest firmware will allow you to flash the latest version of roms that require the new firmware.
---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------
But how can you have a custom recovery (to flash roms) if you didn't unlock user bootloader?
I'm confused. Lol
If you can find a stock backup, you can restore that to get back to stock, then flash your stock recovery.
Again, Need the custom recovery to use the backup tho.

no its locked bootloader with stock recovery, s-off and super cid !!!
i tried to get back to stock using backup recovery but i failed,, and no ruu for the international unlocked yet ... i just want any custom rom with 4.4.4 and be able to upgrade to android L when it release .... thank you mate

Well it looks like to me that you'll be in the same situation as me. And that is that the easiest and probably quickest way we'll get L, is to flash a custom L Sense Rom. Or Aosp if you prefer that. And we'll be able to do that, cause we're s-off and Super CID. ?
Will likely need to update firmware for L too. Which again is simple with Super CID.
So, for right now, you do need to unlock your bootloader to flash a custom recovery. My vote is twrp. You need to do this to flash a 4.4.4 rom.
Also, you need to be on the latest firmware for the 4.4.4 roms.
All that said, if you want to wait and get the L OTA... You need to be stock and I believe you need your original CID to receive the Ota. I could be wrong on that. I've never done an ota on my M8...any device actually. I've always manually flashed new versions or used Roms. ?

So for now unlock bootloader and get the latest firmware then flash 4.4.4 rom ?? Where did i find that 4.4.4 rom ??

Depends on your model/carrier which roms you use.... But in the development sections.
And firmware needs to be current or there will be issues on 4.4.4 roms.
The "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" thread in the general m8 development section will help you update. ?

Am unbranded international single sim .. give ne any link to the roms 4.4.4 and be greatful

Lots of roms here... I never recommend particular roms...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development
Read the first post to see about it, and decide what you like.
Backup what you have in recovery first... Then follow the rom install instructions. That's it.

You need the firmware, that's all. Then you can install Viperone's 4.4.4. That's what I'm running.
And you don't have to unlock the bootloader. Just flash the new firmware and then flash the ROM.
You can get firmware downloads, and instructions on how to flash them here.
This method is the safest.
EDIT: Looks like I'm a little late with my reply.

It was me who was confused. Sorry. You can flash the firmware, but not the ROM. You'll have to unlock for that.

There's nothing to be afraid of. As long as you follow instructions well, you will never have a problem.
Have fun flashing! You're going to love it. And ViperOne is a real good choice if you want to keep Sense. I'm running it, and it is great!

Hi i followed all the steps as mentioned.... but after flashing restarting it is not going past Sony logo, not even the boot animation.
Please help

Hey there Just decided to share my experience. I have a D5503 and I flashed the 14.5.A.0.242 firmware. After this I decided to try to root the device,but since I had no TWRP or Clockwork it seems impossible to root. I lost my bootloader unlock too and no tool or method seems to be able to unlock it. I tried the official sony method,tried from flashtool and other similar programs but nothing seems to work (from cmd it comes up with and error message, some kind like "failed,cannot complete command or smth"). And yes,I've checked and my phone's bootloader CAN be unlocked. Any ideas what must be causing that or I just have to wait for a proper tool/method for root/BL unlocker ?

How can I get my recovery back?

Hi guys
I was trying to get TWRP on my ZE551ML (WW-2.20.40.198). In order to do that, I tried to unlock the bootloader using this guide. I don't believe it worked, though, because every time I tried to flash TWRP through Fastboot or the app, it failed.
So now, I don't have any recovery at all. If I go to the bootloader and select "RECOVERY MODE", the phone just restarts and goes to the same bootloader again. So I got neither the stock recovery, nor TWRP.
I did manage to root and install Xposed, though, both through adb. What worries me, though, is that if I mess up my phone somehow, I won't be able to flash stock firmware or a backup. I would actually prefer to have the stock recovery at this point.
What can I do? I need the stock recovery to flash the stock firmware, but I can't.
I've tried Asus Flashtool before, but it didn't work. I think maybe it's because I tried it on Windows 10, some users said it worked better with Windows 7.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

You fastboot flash stock recovery for .198 in bootloader state.

By the way, rather than flashing the .198 firmware again, I think it might be a good idea to flash "UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.196" from here since that will then correspond to the recovery file I flashed? Thoughts?

Should I now flash the 196 or the 198 firmware through adb? If I flash the 198, will it also restore 198 recovery? I've posted a new thread about it.

Already answered earlier at FYI above
.put MM 4-21.40.134 on internal sd and reboot
Have you not tried ?
No need for multiple threads
Ps , if don't get notification ,go to file manager and add .zip to the end so it looks like user.zip.zip save and reboot again

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice it last time around, I was too excited about getting my recovery back
But what if I don't want Marshmallow, though? If I just want to stay on Lollipop? Do I just flash 198 and that's it?

Actually, I flashed 196, and then I got 198 OTA the moment I booted . I guess that means I've got the 198 recovery too, now?

You need to have B172 fullOTA, then follow these steps.
Boot into TWRP, then flash the update.zip, after that without rebooting flash update_full_DUK-L09_hw_xx.zip and update_data_full_public.zip files. Wait untill they finish.
Factory reset and you should be good

How can i remove root without using Magisk ?

Hi guys,
I rooted my phone using the first method (flashing patched boot on A and B).
The problem is that magisk disappeared from my phone and i was wondering how can i remove root and have the original firmware again.
I am currently on the august patch.

I flashed original boot img but OTA still doesn't apply.
The only solution might be to flash stock rom 9.4.0 (July) using MI flash tool but i'm afraid that It isn't possible to do it

Installed org boot with A/B?
Did u modify system partition? Like build.prop OR something?
If nothing works you must try using MI Flash tool with the stock ROM

I flashed original boot img on both partition and the update failed...
Do you think flashing an older version 9.4 causes problems ?
Now i'm running on version 9.6

I would like to keep data

Connect the Phone to the pc via USB in the flash tool must say "refresh" once you click refresh must apear your device with de adb/fastboot id. Then click select, choose the folder you've downloadwd, then click flash. Now wait until the flash tool says "flashed".
After that your Phone must have stock ROM ready for OTA. If you want to keep magisk i'll recomend you to follow BubuXp guide to install magisk with proper support for OTA's

Thank you very much, i will do it tomorrow.
One lady question, i saw that the rom is 9.4 while my device is running 9.6.
Is this a problem ?

There's no problem it will flash everything a leave the device with stock ROM, i recomend you to use the first way, you will lose the data, but I think is better, anyway i think both methods will lock the bootloader, so anyway you will lose the data, make backup and If u need something tell me.
Good luck, LB
