This is the first carrier unlocked phone I've purchased. It's brand new and I bought it because I'm an M8 fanboy and my first M8 is dying. I'm on AT&T. I just got the phone and installed my SIM and setup my google accounts and all that stuff. I want to update Android but when I go to setting/about/software updates all it says is "checking". It's been checking for over an hour. Did I do something wrong? Is there a way to get the latest OTA Android for an AT&T M8?
My plan is to get to MM then unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP so I can start flashing custom ROM's. I never did anything to my original M8 but have done rooting etc on my old HTC Vivid and both my ASUS tablets.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Post fastboot getvar all result (remove serial & imei no.)
If it is a EU variant, then you can install RUU to update it to Marshmallow.

First, thanks for your reply ckpv5.
Second, not sure I'm following you. I can connect via ADB and it show this when I use the devices command:
device product:htc_europe model:HTC_One_M8 device:htc_m8
Is that the correct ADB command or am I just doing it wrong. Could you please provide more information. I'd really appreciate it. This is my first carrier unlocked phone so I'm a noob at this.

Download this RUU.zip
Rename it by deleting everything in name of the .zip except for 0P6BIMG (and .zip of course)
Place the renamed .zip onto your extSD card and put it into your phone. (the card must be formatted to FAT32 for this, and if it is 32gb or less, it probably already is)
Boot to bootloader and follow the prompts (vol up to confirm the flash ~ power button to reboot after it's flashed)
And that's it, super easy.
Make sure to delete the renamed .zip after the flash, or every time you boot to bootloader it'll try to update again
Good luck!
Awesome. Trying it now.
Can you school me on the information that I posted? I'm used to messing with WiFi only tablets and this is my first time messing this deep into a phone. I don't want to brick my brand new M8 so I'm going real slow.
Here is some more info if needed. I see it says s-off, is that correct? Also, once I update can I then proceed to flash TWRP and custom ROM's?
Thanks. Updated to Android 6!!! Now beware I'll have a lot more questions.

Cool! glad I could help.
A little info: since you are S-Off you shouldn't need to unlock the bootloader before you flash TWRP and ROMs, S-Off is all you'll need.
So it IS s-off! Cool. Any way you could tell me how you knew what RUU to use? Just trying to learn.

Your version-main in your getvar/ OS in your bootloader is your current firmware version. To find what you need for updating, the third series of numbers is what is important to match. In your case that was 401 which = WWE/Interanational
But that won't matter with your M8, only if you get a newer HTC device. The RUU I linked you to is not only the latest, but also the last firmware/ROM update for the M8. It won't be updated anymore and hasn't been for almost a year. In general, manufacturers and carriers will only update a device for two years.

Understood. I have one more problem. My mobile data is not working. I checked all the APN settings and all of them are grayed out. Any ideas on what to do? I'll post a screenshot in a while. Just got to work.
I also tried *#*#4636#*#* but I really don't want to do anything with that yet as I really don't know what to do there and don't want to make things worse.
Texting and phone calls are working just fine.
Well snooping around the internet at work tonight I was able to figure out that I need to set my APN setting. More snooping and I found an APN setting that works......kind of. It will not go 4G LTE only HSPA. Here is a screen shot and the APN settings that get me HSPA.
I will try and duplicate the APN settings from my old phone in the mean time does anyone have a known good 4G (or 4G LTE) AT&T APN that will work with this phone? Hopefully I've posted enough information for the experts to help me get back up to speed.
Either of those APNs should work fine. Literally, the grayed out one (nextgenphone) is the one I'm on now, and it works flawlessly for me (3G, LTE, MMS, etc.). The one you entered (ATT Phone) I believe is actually the new/current one being used as default on most newer ATT phones, and should work fine as well. Your problem isn't APN, I think it's the RUU you used.
I would suggest using the AT&T RUU 6.20.502.5 from here (see RUU section): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Note the red text below the RUU. If you get Error 155 installing the RUU, you'll need to fastboot flash the firmware, before the RUU will install properly (peculiarity of US Marshmallow RUUs).
Reason you need the AT&T RUU, is that by flashing the Euro RUU, you installed the Euro radio, which is only intended to support LTE bands 3, 7, 8, 20. AT&T uses LTE bands 2, 4, 5, and 17. Therefore, you are missing support for every LTE band used by AT&T (the band or bands used by AT&T in you local area being the most important), and explains why everything works but LTE.
Great information redpoint73. I'll flash the other RUU this weekend.
Please bear with me, when you say flash via. fastboot you mean using ADB and pushing it though USB from my computer? Forgive me but as I said this is my first phone I've messed with this deep. My experience has been on ASUS tablets and most of the custom stuff done on them is usually flashed via SD card (or internal storage) 99% of the time. I can do it with the help of XDA I just don't want to render my new M8 inoperable.

If you read the red colored note regarding Error 155, under the RUUs in my Index thread (which I linked) you will see another link there, to a separate post/thread that will tell you exactly how to flash the firmware (if needed). Follow those instructions, and you will be good.
Flash via fastboot uses your computer and USB. But keep in mind that adb and fastboot are similar, but not exactly the same.
I see the RUU you suggested is an .exe file. Just connect via ADB and run that file? Also I downloaded the firmware you suggested as well. To avoid any issues should I flash that first before the RUU?
Thanks

Just hook up your phone and double click on the download. The .exe will install a lot like software for your PC
If it fails to install booting to bootloader first before starting the RUU.exe sometimes helps.
On HTC's US website, there are both manual update instructions and a download for the RUU
I'm not sure if you'll need to flash the firmware first since you are already on Android 6, but it couldn't hurt to do so, and you might actually need to.
Awesome, this place is full of great people willing to help. I just wish I could reciprocate more.

It wouldn't hurt to flash firmware first. Only reason I would suggest folks to run the RUU first (and see if it works) is because not everyone is comfortable using fastboot commands to flash the firmware (and therefore may avoid having to learn how to do that). But if you are comfortable with the process to flash the firmware (it's not hard), then go ahead and do so before running the RUU.
Like xunholyx, I'm not sure if you need to flash the firmware first, or not. If you were coming from Lollipop, you definitely would need to. I have a feeling that you will indeed need to flash the US firmware before the RUU will install. Even though you are on Marshmallow firmware, it's the Euro one, so I think (but not sure) the RUU will still fail until you flash the US MM firmware.
EDIT - Forget it I found it........duh.
Thanks redpoint73. I'm going to flash the firmware first because of what you said (Euro phone vs. US).
I can't seem to find your post on how to do that again in the sea of posts. I thought I bookmarked it but it's not there. Can you be so kind as to link it up.

Hey everyone,
new here and to rooting/flashing in general.
I've somewhat successfully converted my verizon M8 to work on Tmobile by using weaksauce 2.0 to root, then Sunshine to gain S-off. Flashed TRWP custom recovery with flashify, backed up my stock vzw setup (4.4.4), then flashed ViperoneM8 with tmobile extras to the phone. The phone works great 90% of the time on Tmo, with 4gLTE, mms, sms, wifi all working. But I will get random dropped general mobile service (no data, can't make calls, text won't go through). This is easily fixed with airplane mode toggle.
Sooo, I wanted to see how other roms work on my phone with Tmobile service, specifically ARHD 34.0 and/or change phone to developer edition and upgrade to Lollipop. But both roms require prerequisite upgrading of firmware. My phone won't let me change the firmware via ADB or RUU. I've tried changing to superCID and going back to relocked mode, but still won't work. I get error 155 when attempting to upgrade via RUU and cannot find firmware.zip when using adv/fastboot.
I came across an old thread about other rooted models that suggest upgrading the HBOOT. Can anyone verify this suggestion and guide me toward which specific HBOOT software to change to?
Thanks for the help,

If your stock was 4.4.4, your firmware and hboot should be fine to run ARHD. I don't think that WWE firmware (x.xx.401.x) is compatible with T-Mo (x.xx.531.x). The firmware you have now (3.32.531.2?) will be fine.

You shouldn't have wifi issues. ViperOne is building a Lollipop version right now, and 4.4.4 firmware works fine with it.
The ARHD thread does recommend a full wipe with the non-matching firmware/ROM base though.

Oh man, what did you do? In your bootloader under OS is your firmware number. Is it still your old firmware? I don't know how you re-locked.
If you are in fastboot, type fastboot reboot-recovery and see if that works.

I was relocked previously trying to update firmware. I completely forgot to unlock it before the ROM flash. I would assume the ROM wouldnt flash though if the phone was relocked. I'm still S-off. Fastboot isn't recognizing the files i want to flash. Won't flash the unlock code. Wouldn't flash a zip file before when trying to update firmware. Can I somehow fix why fastboot isn't flashing files, then try to use unlock code?
possible progress?? I wasn't in the correct file to fastboot flash files. I moved the unlock code download to the correct file as flashboot, then flashed it. It says "unlock token check successfully." but now it seems the phone is stuck in white htc screen. Is it ok to power down the phone when in this screen? maybe loading the software from new ROM?
so I went ahead and powered down the phone. Still S-off. Now has UNLOCKED banner, but behaving the same. Stuck in bootloader loop. Won't allow me to get into recovery

Okay. Being S-Off you don't need to lock your bootloader to flash firmware. But since you were trying to flash Developer Edition firmware, you would have to flash a stock Dev Ed backup first, and change your MID and CID.
Leave your phone plugged into your PC.
Go here and follow the option 2 instructions. You want the APP/EXE version to download. It should fix you up.
where do you people come from..you're a self proclaimed noob who has executed an unsupported carrier switch, which ends up with a half functional device as a result.. and then you decide to crank the up the hilarity to warp drive stupid by flashing ANOTHHER unsupported ROM combination on top.
the random signal dropping is most certainly a result of this conversion as I have a couple of related support tickets saying the same.
you should be thankful that unholy is so patient and willing to help.. and that we know he has nothing better to do

Made a series of mistakes that led me to only have access to fastboot and recovery. It appears I'm capable of flashing things in fastboot. I can't access download mode at all (gives me an error saying it's unable to boot into download mode), which I believe you need in order to flash RUUs in the first place.
If anybody has a TWRP backup of system and boot that'd be awesome, but really need an img of download mode or a RUU or something to help me recover everything to normal. I am S-OFF and bootloader is unlocked.
Checked HTCdev and nothing was there for this device. All help appreciated.
How do you have fastboot when fastboot comands are done from download mode? Dont you have a stock system image that you made?
He means bootloader mode, the white screen. I think OP is SOL. That's why it's important to make backups, especially for exotic devices. I'm not sure if it's possible, but since he's s-off his best bet would be to convert to an unlocked or Verizon device if at all possible just to get the device working again and wait for either an ruu or backup.

How did you go with this, OP? I just got the HTV32 (HTC10) here in Japan, and unlike previous HTC's I have owned here (Desire, M7), there seems to be no RUUs for Japan anywhere (or am I not looking hard enough...). Website HTCsoku seems very short on info on this model, and the former repository for all things HTC in Japan for modders and tinkerers, 'Scottish Vinegar', has disappeared. Will be getting Sunshine then flashing TWRP and SuperSU soon, but I always like to have the option of stock images, etc., handy, just in case things go tits up.
I remembered the case of failure to entering Download Mode in M9 which solution is flashing the hosd image (extract from firmware), you can give it a try

Unfortunately was not able to get a hold of the stock RUU. I took my phone to my carrier and they gave me a new one free of charge despite the unlocked bootloader, S-OFF and TWRP being installed. Was just more careful on the replacement phone.
I actually am still looking for a stock RUU though.
Personally I made a TWRP backup before installing SuperSU. That way I can update with OTAs later on. (once we get an OTA we'll be able to pull the stock recovery img from it and update without issue).
Trying to convert this model to an international model was a terrible mistake. Au KDDI does not play well with these types of things. My Butterfly 3 is permanently SIM locked on AU's network for attempting the same thing (was trying to get Marshmallow at the time, which coincidentally is being released for the device next week).
I have been running Xposed and SuperSU with no issues at all though. If you get any "device encrypted" error after S-OFFing, just factory reset the data in TWRP.
Many domo's, DarkRazorZ!
I read that twrp-3.0.2-6-pme.img is the one to go for - that what you used?
Good you had no grief from HTC Japan. I actually sent back my M7 for the purple camera issue a few years back and did very little to disguise the fact it was unlocked and S-Offed. I think they are all fellow modders there and don't give a damn what we do. One reason why HTC is awesome.
I am now waiting for Nougat on the HTC10 (they (AU) just did a press release that it will be pushed soon), and as soon as that is on my phone, I shall be going the Sunshine route and installing aforementioned TWRP and so on. Getting fidgety, though... Xposed, Amplify, ad blocking... lemme at 'em.

Hey I was wondering if you could help me on how to get a replacement device, I ran into the same problem as you did. Thanks
Hello DarkRazorZ.
I'm curious about your attempt to convert HTV32 to international.
It couldn't be done because of hardware compatibility issue among HTV32 and international?
Or because of just your own mistake in the process?
Did you try a method like this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/convert-htc-10-to-unlocked-t3384460
I'm in Japan and considering to buy HTV32, and I want to use it with international firmware.
I know this is your thread, but I can't find any information about this on web.
So could you share me your knowledge. Thanks.
the us unlocked version can be used on KDDI Au but the verizon radio has to be flashed for it to work and even then, you will only get 2g speeds.

$20 to the dev who gets AOSP to work on Sprint's latest 1.80.651.30, WITHOUT using foreign firmware.
We're about a year into this device, and apparently we have no developers on the Sprint side working on this.
Not sure if that price is worth it to anyone, but I'm a man of my word.

You contacted me multiple times about editing the Verizon guide for Sprint.. I took my free time to respond.. and now you post this.. A bit of a slap in the face, no? :silly:
I would contact the Devs working on AOSP personally, however with N already here (and coming soon to the rest of the carriers), I personally don't see anyone taking their time on MM (just an opinion).
I do hope you get it working. :good:

No, you never got back with my question!
I have your zip, but haven't flashed it, because I'm not sure if it needs "modified" for Sprint.
Plus, I am looking for it to work with Sprint firmware first.

I responded last night, and I quoted you so you'd get a notification to see it.

The whole point of this method is to get back to stock Verizon/Sprint.
If you do my method you will be back on 100% Sprint (Since you are flashing the Sprint RUU AFTER the modified firmware) AND AOSP ROMs working. I don't know why, but it works. It's been confirmed on a number of Verizon users AND Sprint.
"Plus, I am looking for it to work with Sprint firmware first"
Then why did you contact me multiple times? I am not going to apologize for taking longer than you'd like to respond.. I wrote the guide for Verizon, so excuse me for not wanting to brick your device with rushed info..
Like I said, I hope you get it working.. I did respond in the thread, and as I said if you need help editing the android.info.txt, let me know. :good:
I didn't get it. Responded to the linked thread /post.
Thank you.
I understood your instructions for the firmware and RUU, but didn't think your zip would work with my Sprint device. Thank you so much for the deeper explanation.
Will report back here....

You are very welcome my friend!
AOSP/CM ROMs are a great way to change up the device so I understand the want to use them, hence how this method was found.

Just to make sure (on both threads, sorry), my CID is 11111111.
I don't use the Sprint CID, I change the android text to the Super CID number, right?
Okay.
Everything done and I didn't brick.
New problem.
I only have 3G, even after the RUU.
Something tells me I shouldn't have GSM options?

I can flash CM, but I can't use it.
I cannot make calls or message anyone.
If I restore my Sense backup, then I have no data. I have to erase modems again, just to get messaging back and to get my Sprint ID to return and give me my phone number again.
This has been a major headache, and I don't think this will actually work fully on my device.
Curious to know if you know why I had to input a PIN after flashing that modified firmware zip after reboot?

Can't say about Sprint usage and AOSP ROMs or sprint anything really so can't comment on that.
After flashing the firmware it wiped my system so it had no ROM to boot to, so I had to hold volume buttons and power to get into bootloader and then ran the VZW RUU.
I have been using multirom personally since this method as well.
I still wish someone would find a way to get AOSP working on Sprint firmware.
After wiping modems, updating PRL and Profile, I have a working phone again on Sense.
I'm not sure what flashing that zip did, but I'm thinking it changes the internal partitions of firmware, and that Sprint either blocks partitions or doesn't have them, and the zip modded them, or added them.
But WTF do I know?

As I. It seems once/if theres a fix for Sprint, it should also hopefully be the same for Verizon.
Your input is as good as the rest of us.
I've gotten CM/Lineage to work on my Sprint HTC 10. I did have to flash an international firmware zip to get it to get past the boot logo but now it's fine. Note though that I did delete the modems, radio, cache and recovery out of the firmware package before I flashed it. This is likely why you have issues with data now if you didn't do so.
That said, data is still iffy at times on AOSP without toggling some settings after rebooting so it might be worth it for some people to wait until that's fixed before proceeding.

How?
I'm not an expert but I'm not new to this either. I just don't have enough technical experience to figure this out. I had the Phone working and everything was amazing!
A few Days ago due to flashing the phone came up with a message 'No service' and i cannot get the phone to connect to my network at all. The phone cannot make emergency calls yet it cannot connect to any of the networks. When i turn off the Airplane mode it just get stuck on it and it never gets off even if you leave it for a day.(Check screenshot attached) When i dial this code *#*#4636#*#* nothing happens. I don't get the information although The code just vanish away from the dialing screen.
So far, Ive checked both covers on the back ensuring the pins connect properly for the aerial and there is no damage to either panel.
Hard reset did nothing to help, it booted straight up with the same limited service message.
I have tried my SIM card in another phone and it works perfectly, so i know its a problem with the phone.
I've had the IMEI number checked and the phone is not blocked.
The SIM card appears to be detected as you can see in the screenshot i attatched.
If the phone had been dropped, gotten wet or experienced any other form of potential damage, then I would assume it was a hardware repair issue. But because nothing has happened to obviously explain the issue I am experiencing, I am unsure.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

What exactly did you flash (include file name, any version number, etc.)?
If the "no service" occurred right after flashing something, than that is mostly likely the cause, and the road you should pursue. Not things like checking IMEI, etc.
Tell us exactly what you did, exact sequence of events, etc.
First of all i want to Thank you for replying. Actually one of my friend Flashed it i have no idea what he has done even though he don't get it but he flashed it somehow and made my device in this Position.

You need to ask your friend what he flashed. It's extremely important. Ask him what file, with the exact file name, version number, and source (whatever of those he can give you, all of them if possible).
It sounds like he doesn't really know what he is doing? Why did he even flash anything at all? What was he trying to do? He shouldn't be doing anything to your phone, unless he intend on buying you a new one when he messes up (and it looks like he did).
Seeing as the phone is s-off, it's very possible he flashing the wrong file, and damaged the radio. The damage might be permanent (we've seen it happen before).
Also, we need more info about the phone. If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

He is a complete noob but act like if he is a Pro ( I came to know after he did this to my phone and when i forwarded him the Questions you asked)
Actually my Phone was a bit laggy which made me pissed off and my bad luck was that he was sitting right next to me. He told me to leave my Phone for a day and he would fix it up at the end result is in front of you.
He have no idea what he has flashed i.e. (exact file name, version number, and source). He said i downloaded from a random site by searching it from google. LOL!
I will give you the info whatever you want to know.

That type of behavior is extremely careless, and my opinion, that person should not be messing with yours or anyone else's phone.
If he had truly "no idea" what he was flashing, then he had no business flashing it! Him having "no idea" what he flashed to me says he had little or no understanding of what he was doing. And best practice is to fully understand what you are installing to the phone, and also keep track of exactly what those files were, steps performed, etc.
The file (or files) that he flashed still aren't on his computer in a folder somewhere, or even in the PC's recycle bin? Another best practice, I always keep files (I've flashed) on my PC for a while "just in case" I need to use them again or reference them.
Really hard to troubleshoot the problem, without knowing what he did. One thing I can suggest, is to flash the RUU, which is a complete factory image, and will hopefully clear up the "no network" problem. See the following post for files and instructions:

If there was such a file maybe. But such a file does not exist (not that I know of) or it's not available for the general public.

Big thanks to him for finding out bout the most important part the modem....
Here we go... I am assuming y'all know adb and fastboot so leaving that out. But make sure you have latest oneplus drivers and adb cause fastbootd has to be used when flashing.
First read Craznazn post on unlocking bootloader. And he has a t-mobile magisk patched link you can use to flash read his post. After your backed up unlocked and rooted. Get this app from play store.
Partitions Backup & Restore - Apps on Google Play

I went ahead and checked everyone of the blocks.

looks like this. Now this is gonna take a a min like 45-1 hour this is your phones active firmware. Mine ended up being 26gb. . While that's going go ahead and and get eu or global your gonna use from xda post or oneplus site full version only. I did global first could not update so I went ahead and did the eu ba 11.2.3.3 (updated one) everything is same works great.
After download use the payload extractor I hope y'all know how and what that is if not please stop and research. Label that folder after it's done global(eu) so I won't get confused. (Go ahead and patch the boot image if u want root);
Now on your phone find the zip file partition backup made for ya. Transfer it to pc. Extract it. Your gonna see some .img and .gz. it's gonna look like
( On the .img file I went ahead and erased the 2021-04-15 part)
Then I but both roms side by side and this is very important what I did was took the boot.img and renamed it to orginaleu/globalboot.img from the global/eu folder and placed renamed the magisk patched to boot.imgand place in the global folder.
IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT DATA TO WORK AT ALL. TAKE YOUR MODEM AND MODEMST1 AND MODEMST2 FILE OUT OF YOUR TMOBILE FIRMWARE FOLDER COPY THEM TO THE GLOBAL/EU FOLDER IF NOT YOUR NOT GONNA HAVE NO DATA NO SERVICE AT ALL. AND TAKE THE CARRIER.IMG FILE FROM TMOBILE FOLDER AND COPY IT OVER TOO.
I made this flashall.bat it worked just fine. I might have left out a few partitions but it is all good. Now on pc open a blank text document and copy and paste the change2 flashall.bat.txt and save as flashall.bat. put one in each folder and there conversation folder in one and the recovery folder in the t-mobile firmware folder. To flash just adb reboot bootloader then fastboot reboot fastboot. Make sure your in fastbootd. Screen will look like the recovery screen but it will say fastbootd. Once there click on the flashall.bat and let it do it thing. It may take like 5 mins to boot. Now if it stuck on the oneplus boot animation. Go back to. Fastboot and -- set-active =a or b. And if your rom acts little jumpy or crazy go back and check the boot.img u flashed might hot them mixed up.
My first guide maybe this will help you til the msmtool is ready. I know it get frustrating sometimes that's why I tried to describe much as I can
Anyone happen to have a back up of the stock Tmo firmware? I managed to get everything installed, but borked the mobile network after trying to OTA and preserve magisk. Restoring my backup partitions did nothing.

Can confirm 5G on TMO after flashing the modems.

No, I'm gonna support @amaroney55 on this guide. If you can't follow the guide or don't have the time to follow the guide, then you won't be able to troubleshoot it or have the time to troubleshoot it when something breaks. This is not a straightforward conversion and you may very well hard brick.
So I just got the 11.2.4.4ba update from the real system updated. It did everything it was supposed even magisk into other slot rebooted. Ok after reboot you will not have service you will have to flash tmo- modem.img to modem_a and _b. And flash the MODEMST1 and MODEMST2. Then you will have service again

Should only need to flash modem to the active slot, and shouldn't need to flash modemsts, those are not touched even by MSM
This is the thread about converting from tmo-global(eu). I flashed the modems only and still didn't have service. I had to flash all 4
Does this conversion enable dual SIM?

Idk let me check really fast. Nope still single.
Tbh. I don't use my camera like that. I use it everyday just for proof of delivery. But I don't really pay attention. But I do has the riru magisk installed with LS mod it has the every feature enabler for OnePlus cameras on it.
Very nice guide and there is only one thing I want to point out is there is A typo in your script (I guess)
you have 2 "fastboot flash system_ext_a system_ext.img" which I think one of them should be
"fastboot flash system_ext_b system_ext.img".
Took me a while to figure out, I got boot loop and bunches of errors like "Not enough space to resize partition" if I don't change it, after changing, everything back to normal.
Thanks again for this helpful guide!
I really want to do this but im very hesitant without a true recovery.

We have a true recovery. All phones do.
im talking about twrp
TWRP is worthless for this kind of procedure and there's not a sufficiently working TWRP build for Android 11.
You want an MSM unbrick tool, not TWRP.
You are half right with the MSM unbrick tool, Twrp would still be helpful as you stated there isnt any so we will have to wait on both
