Hi friends,
I hope you guys are able to help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix my phone. So it all started when I flashed a radio that didn't work (I had SuperCID). After that, I tried different radios and flashed a radio that had the same version with my stock radio and none of them worked. So I decided to restore my phone to stock factory settings by downloading a stock backup from here (2.22.707.4 - TWRP Thanks to ckpv5) and the latest firmware from here (2.22.707.4_firmware.zip).
I flashed the firmware first twice, successfully and the restore the stock backup from TWRP and it got into a bootloop. However if i flash a custom GPE rom, it boots successfully but Baseband/IMEI becomes unknown.
I'm not sure what else to do now :crying:
I've tested installing a custom Sense based rom and GPE based rom, the Sense custom rom will get stuck in a boot loop but the custom GPE rom won't have issues. Except for the Baseband unknown version and IMEI unknown.

Good news!
I managed to resolved the issue by downloading the Taiwan (HTC__621 / 1.54.709.4): 1.15.2133156.UA14G_20.18n.4096.05L radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736921
Before I flashed the radio, I had configured my phone to SuperCID 11111111. I didn't clear any caches after the flash, not sure if that matters.
I haven't checked on why Sense roms are boot looping but I'm happy with a GPE rom without any issues. So I'll just stick with that for the time being
CyanogenMod 14.1 ROM

Ok so i got the Sprint Harmon Kardon edition about a month ago, and i recently rooted it and flashed a rom. Then i realized that htc sense was gone and when i try to install any type of Sense rom, it either does not work or features are missing.
Also i know that i need the newest firmware but i dont understand about the process, and i cant s-off my phone.
Please help.
Problems:HTC One wont Restore
Wont install Sense roms correctly
Dont Understand how to get new firmware on my phone
dont understand how to S-off
My phone is Rooted with Liquid Smooth ROM. it is not s-off
What steps exactly did you follow to get your phone into the state it is in now?
I'll avoid the lecturing, but you should really make sure you understand all steps of the process BEFORE doing something like this. You could easily have bricked your phone and been left with a several hundred dollar paperweight.

Some ROMs, in particular Cyanogen ROMs, have specific requirements that you may have missed. Many ROMs aren't compatible with Sprint, in particular.
If you've never updated your firmware (which, since you said you don't know how, I guess you didn't) just find a stock backup and try restoring that. At least figure out what firmware you have and find a Sense ROM that is compatible with that firmware. Most likely the reason that some ROMs aren't working is you have incompatible firmware. I assume you are doing a full wipe between these ROM flashings yes?

Alternately, you can just blow the thing back to factory fresh with an RUU.

You will have to re-lock the boot loader to use it, but assuming you got your unlock code from HTCdev, it should be a simple enough matter to unlock it again.

several months ago I have unlocked my phone, reset it to factory several times and in general just tried out installing custom recoveries to ultimately install a custom rom.
I eventually stopped before flashing a custom rom.
A few days ago I started really trying again and I have noticed that i can not install any custom roms without updating my firmware first.
My current version is 1.41.5 and i run android 4.4.2, way too outdated to do anything.
The real problem is that even relocking the bootloader, resetting to factory settings and trying to manually flash a firmware update it will not work.
I am stuck. There is no stock rom available for my third party german carrier anywhere on the internet. (Mobilcom Debitel)
It appears it is impossible to get back the bloatware that came with the phone which is required to update, right?
I don't know how to proceed at this point.
Is there any thing I can do?
Would going s-off help?
I would be very appreciative of any help you guys can give me.
I read in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Q : Can i apply an official HTC OTA on my stock rooted rom?
A : Yes but the system apps (carrier branded apps included) has to be 100% intact.
There seems to be no way to get the carrier brand apps for me. Is there a different way?
Edit: If I achieve s-off, would that be a way around my issue?
With your current knowledge base S-OFF would surely lead to a brick. I would wait on that. You need to return to stock recovery, take your carriers OTA's of which there will be at least three or four, then you will be able to install any current ROM. Search return to stock thread for a 1.54.xxx recovery for your CID.

First of all, delete the IMEI from your post. Never put that on a public forum.
Yes, S-Off would be a way, but the safest would be to run an RUU to update. Hook your phone up to your PC, and get into fastboot.
Download the 4.16.401.10 WWE RUU from here.
When the download if finished, double click it, and follow the prompts.
When it's finished, turn on your phone, go through the setup, and enjoy Lollipop.
Make sure to back up anything that is important to you, because this will wipe your phone.
Thank you for the replies, I will report on my success once I have tried what you have proposed, thanks!
I changed the screen on my HTC One M8 and now the phone gets stuck on the HTC One splash screen. Ive treble checked all connections and for damage and cant see anything. I tried Factory reset, but its just gets stuck at Andriod is starting after updating all the apps. My only option seems to be install ruu? Could someone tell me which ruu I should use please?

We need RUU, which i couldnt find, you dont need to worry about Firmware, we just have to find RUU for Vodafone UK, even if it's 5.0.2, or 4.4.4, don't care, cause we can use OTA to update if the phone is 100% stock.
this one any good no?
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934518148
It's 401 for European unlocked, we need vodafone uk161
if I unlock the bootloader, do I still need to have usb debugging enabled in the settings before I can install twrp and an nandriod backup?
i dont think so, u can check forums noob friendly guides
I have an htc one m8 ATT phone I want to install the ViperOneM8 5.02 rom on which says I need to update the firmware to a marshmellow firmware I think.
Or the latest.
While I have found some documentation how to do this on the net, I am not sure where I obtain these files.
The firmware.zip I believe it is
Help on this would be appreciated
Right now I am using hboot 3.16 and twrp 2.7
I found this link
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32780
and grabbed the 4.16.1540.8.zip but want to make sure I am grabbing the correct and latest version. Because I don't want to brick my phone
Post your fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
You may need a different firmware if it's AT&T & S-On and also don't use that outdated 2.7 TWRP.

For some devices, TWRP 2.7 is recommended due to how older boot loaders may not take it well.
I like TWRP. When its workable, its array of tools is superior to CWM. But after I tried 2.8.x, I decided CWM or TWRP at or below 2.7.0.2 is safer and less crash prone.
When I attempted to boot to recovery it would boot loop. Please be mindful of boot signing. If you so slightly make your OEM software notice things a fuse will make your phone implode.

Read again what he is trying to do man ... he's going to update to Marshmallow firmware and that outdated TWRP 2.7 won't work for him (he can't even install his intended ViperOneM8 5.02 ROM with that outdated TWRP)
..... that's why I said don't use that outdated TWRP

Good point. For some odd reason CM pairs ROMs and Recoveries. If you check the Dev Auto update option would that be unnecessary.
It's been an itching question I actually had...

I originally had twrp 2.8 on and tried to install the latest. But it was freezing because I think I need a newer version of hboot. which I have 3.16 on it.
I then downgraded to 2.7 to get it working. I installed ViperOnem8 Rom not reading the website successfully. but have issues with wifi, and 2 minute boot times.
"The 5.0.x ROM is based on HTC’s latest M8 Sense 7 Android 6.0.x base and requires you to update your firmware to at least the 6.0.x (Marshmallow) version! If you don’t you will run into some issues such as Wi-Fi not working or No Boot, etc.
We cannot install the firmware for you during ROM installation so you will need to take the steps to update the firmware on your own."
So I need to update my firmware. I have an ATT S-ON phone. But I have no clue where to get the firmware from, and make sure it is the right one and recent.
I need to update my firmware in order for this rom and a newer version of twrp to work correctly
ok, so
I upgraded to 3.11.1700.5 firmware I found. and that was successful.
Then I upgraded my twrp to twrp-3.0.2-0-m8 and that was successful
Now I am trying to install either Revolution Rom, or ViperOnem8 and both have the same problem. After install they keep booting into twrp and won't load.
I tried Cynamod and that installed and booted fine.
I believe both Revolution and Viper use the Aroma installer. Anyone know what is going on with these and a fix to stop it from booting into twrp?
Need advice

Wrong firmware. You installed an old version of GPE firmware.
You can't install Sense ROM like Revolution and Viper on GPE firmware.
I asked you to post fastboot getvar all to help you but it seems that you made it harder now because you installed a wrong firmware. If it is S-Off, then it is easy to fix.

First - remove all serial & imei no. from your above post.
As I said, it is not easy to fix this with S-On device. What you can try is to install the latest AT&T 6.20.502.5 firmware first then run 6.20.502.5 RUU
Read this for the firmware and how-to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66886759&postcount=23
You can get the RUU here : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/

so your saying, install the ruu, update the firmware, then re install viper?
Can't I just update the firmware like I did before? It was S-On before I updated the firmware
The ruu won't install. it says needs more then 30% battery, yet it is fully charged

No .. I don't say that ... read again ...
Flash firmware.zip first then RUU ...
or install ROM first, don't reboot the system, but reboot to bootloader, relock bootloader then flash firmware.zip
As you already flashed a wrong firmware, as I said this may work and may not work but the only way that you can try to fix the wrong firmware installed.

Because you have wrong firmware installed.
but with what firmware.zip? I never got the right firmware.zip to begin with so I don't have any firmware files to update with

That show you don't read all the posts that I posted .. the firmware.zip is posted in the post that earlier posted
You have to wait for someone else I guess who can write a post that you can understand .. maybe my English is not good enough ... good luck

ok .. now that I understand what you are saying. because you had the RUU .exe and also were explaining how to update the firmware at the same time while the firmware was burried a couple of levels of posts, I didn't understand what you were saying.
so it looks like the firmware updated successfully

I unlocked the firmware through the htc website with the Unlock_code.bin
because fastbook oem unlock didn't work.
had to reinstall twrp and that worked after reinstall. although lots of mounting file system errors. with /Data I don't know if that's normal.
seems to be fixed after formatting
Now I will try installing a rom

Now you got it.
And yes, after changing from GPE to Sense GSM (AT&T) firmware, you need to reinstall TWRP (the latest 3.0.2-0) and you MUST format data partition, in TWRP - select WIPE, Format Data - yes ... because GPE & Sense data partition is of different size.
Please where can i get compatible firmware for my htc one m8s with S.O 1.12.1405.6 . I have been on this over 3 weeks now but all no avail.
