Yes.
The thread was actually made for people who are S-On as a way to update firmware. With S-Off you don't need to return to stock to update your firmware.

You need one for your carrier, or more specifically the version that matches your current firmware and your CID/MID
---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------
You can find your CID and MID in your bootloader menu. Your current firmware version is also listed there under "OS"
EDIT: on the M8 the MID won't be there, but your CID and firmware version will be. That is all you need

So i just returned to a stock ROM on my HTC One M8 and it won't let me turn on the wifi.
Software information:
Android 4.4.4
HTC Sense 6.0
Software Number - 3.28.401.7
SDK API level - 6.25
Kernel vervion - 3.4.0-g222defb
[email protected] # 1

Baseband Version 1.16.2133156.UA15-20.18m.4096.07L
Build Number 3.28.401.7 CL389838 release-keys
and is S-On
Can someone please help.
This is getting asked multiple times a day now.
You need to update your firmware.
go to your bootloader menu and figure out if that the firmware build number is the the same in the about phone in the setting menu
It happened to me too because I used more recent nandroid without updating my phone

3.28.401.7 is pretty new. It should work with 4.4.4. Strange issue IMO.
You cannot run a 4.4.4 rom. And without being s-off you cannot update your firmware... Yes you may have flashed a stock rom but not the stock rom you were on previously. You will ONLY be able to flash a rom with it looks like 4.4.2 or maybe 4.4.3.

Hint :

That says it all in a blink of an eye
Can someone please tell me like I'm a total idiot on how to fix this issue? I just put on a stock 4.4.4 with Telus cause it was the only nandroid available for Telus and I locked the bootloader again and made it S-ON. How do I fix my wifi now? I have to somehow unlock the bootloader again, get S-OFF and use a stock 4.4.3? THEN do a software update to 4.4.4?

The second link is the exact link I was following. The only nandroid for Telus is already 4.4.4 so that doesn't help me. I've unlocked my bootloader again and about to gain root so I guess I'll just flash a custom ROM again but I'd love if someone could actually tell me exactly what I'm missing here? If their isn't a stock Telus 4.4.3 I can't return to stock right?

Get S-OFF again and flash the firmware manually. Don't know why you went S-ON and locked in the first place. There is no reason to go back S-ON(Unless you're gonna exchange then it's a small maybe) and when it's S-OFF there is no reason to lock the bootloader.

I was following a tutorial on The Unlockr and he said to go back to S-ON so I listened. I'll definitely make sure to stay S-OFF from now on though so thank you! So how do I manually flash the firmware? I can't find a stock 4.4.3 on Telus anywhere...
EDIT: I'm now S-OFF again and I'm ready to go but I cannot find where to grab 4.4.3 stock with Telus. Would flashing a custom ROM that is on 4.4.3 fix my wifi too? I'm really confused by this whole thing like is Cyanogenmod 11 using 4.4.3 or is it it's own entity or?

Mike's guide
Another guide
Just flash the firmware for the latest 4.4.4 ROM that you have on there.
Grab the OTA file for Telus from OTA ZIP COLLECTION extract the OTA.zip to get the firmware.zip file inside it.

He updated the software, not the firmware.
He subsequently verified this by saying he restored a stock nandroid. But I was pretty sure of that already.

Neither of those will tell you the firmware number. You need to look at hboot and radio to know for sure.

HI
first thanks for taking the time to help me i really appreciate it
i have an htc m8 ,m8_ul, , s-on ,unlocked bootloader, cid htc_621 , hboot 3.19 , radio 1.22
device currenly bricked but can access booloader and recovery (used to have a 5.0 rom)
i want to upgrade to latest lollipop version can i do that with s-on?
how can i do it?
thanks in advance guys
help much appreciated
by latest lollipop i would assume sense6 and not cm12.
I have installed cm12 on my m8 for a few month now. Getting the latest ATT update has been a pain so far as I cannot downgrade to kitkat.
if you are on a kitkat version then go to setting -> about -> check for updates and you are good to go. just make sure to use wifi.
yes i want sense 6
So i will restore the stock backup
flash stock recovery
Relock bootloader then get ota?
But with my cid will i get the latest updates?
anyone?

Mostly correct, but you don't need to relock the bootloader (nor do I recommend you do so).
You'll get the latest OTA for your CID. I am not clear what you mean by "latest updates". If you intend is to be on the stock ROM for your CID, you don't want a more recent update for another carrier.

Do you have unlocked bootloader? If you have, just install adb and fastboot drivers, then plug m8 into pc and enter fastboot mode. Watch from 2:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HWj_1KHbuY and do the same
after you do all that, just put some rom into sdcard or usb, and flash it.

You can't find the proper RUU? Did you try to run an RUU not meant for your device? You should just get errors and the process should halt.
What does it say next to "OS" in your bootloader menu? That will tell you your current firmware version. Does it have two different versions with the newer one in red? If so you need to run the RUU again. The first run just updated the hboot.
There's nothing on the os.

Go to @ckpv5's thread. Link here.
You'll need the backup that is 4.24.709.2 (judging from your baseband you are on Lollipop). The 709 part is crucial! That is for your version of M8 and you can't flash a backup (or RUU, or firmware) made for other versions.
Can you tech me step by step what i should do.
im not that good at this kinda thing but im really interested in learning. And also it can save my phone.

First thing you need to do is update your recovery to TWRP 2.8.7.0.
Then go to the thread I linked you to, and follow the instructions in post #1 (skip the first step~update recovery). You'll need the 4.24.709.2 backup that is in post #3.
You can stop at step 9. You just need the ROM backup and not the stock recovery. After step 9 just reboot.
Hi guys,
Rooting the 10 is a pain compared to the 6p -.-
Anyway, I would like to root my 10 but I'm not on the latest firmware (1.30.401.1) and there is no updates. My cid is J_15.
My question is can I update via the RUU i found here http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html ?

That cid looks incomplete. usually they are 8 characters.
What is your stock software number?
If it's not 1.21.617.3 then you can't use that RUU.

Without s-off you cant downgrade firmwares, not sure what that specific user is about but he is not flashing full ruu files or firmwares. Those will fail 100%
And there is no 4.41.401 firmware number. The last nougat firmware is 2.41.401.4
It could be a typo.
I'm going to give it a try tonight and provide a feedback.

But you didn't flash a lower firmware or ruu than the firmware that's on the device already ? Because that's impossible with s-on. You can only downgrade firmware with s-off.
Did you install a lower stock backup?
I believe I'm doing something wrong which is why nothing worked for me. This is too much to do for a simple roll back and i don't blame you guys for it.
Remember the old days when all you had to do to install a ROM is root and place the ROM into a micro SD card.

I actually already assumed it would not work because you can't downgrade firmware on s-on devices. That specific post is in many ways impossible. Or he has a s-off device and wrote it wrong or he is just making stuff up.

If you want to roll back you need s-off and a MM ruu. That's the easiest way. What are your specs now.

So you are flashing partitions that are locked on s-on state. I just don't believe this downgrade method because you simply need s-off to downgrade firmwares.

He probably have the license.

Yeah, folks always believe downgrading will only work on S-OFF devices...
But don't say "IMPOSSIBLE" before you try, the downgrade method I've test on HTC M9 A9 10 U11 and it work well, I even wrote a program to help to erase version number in an easiest way.
