Hi guys,
I have a HTC One M8, CID HTC__002 and I am trying to remove the demo content. The device was previously a retail unit, and so the demo content came pre-installed. I downloaded the RUU found in this thread here and successfully flashed the .exe version of it, however on rebooting despite the phone being factory data reset, the Demo video still plays!
A few months ago I successfully converted one of our other display M8 models to a Google Play Edition, however this was a very lengthy process, and I had to pay to get S-Off. Though I have no issue paying for S-Off, I don't really want to be paying the fee twice, and so I don't want to go down the route of converting this to a Google Play Edition. Converting to Google Play, did however, successfully remove the demo content.
I want the phone to be 100% stock on Sense, with no demo content what-so-ever. Please can somebody point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Mike!
Once S-OFF, always S-OFF. I change from GPe to Sense weekly and it's never been an issue

Hi Eddy,
Good to see you on the HTC section still, you helped me a few times back when I first joined! In regards to S-Off, I'm talking about two different handsets here. To date I have had two demo units of the HTC One M8. I paid for S-Off on one, but I don't really want to pay S-Off for two. Can you use the S-Off tool more than once if you have paid for it?
Ah right, sorry mis-read that bit. Unfortunately you'll need to pay for each device - I don't think Sunshine offer a bulk order as yet

Damn, do you know of any other way I could remove the demo content?
Have you try remove demo.apk in system/etc then do factory reset ?

How would I do this, what is the process?
Root the phone and then use a root file manager to remove it. TBH, I'd just stump up the money for Sunshine, run the 4.16.401.10 RUU and be done with it!
If there is an RUU available, and it otherwise fits the criteria (new or same version), then it should have completely cleaned the phone out completely. That is what RUUs do.
However, the $25 for S-off is easily worth it. All of the crap people put up with to do anything on their phone disappears. You can upgrade/downgrade firmware at will. You can alter your CID/MID all day. You can lock/unlock your bootloader without triggering a factory reset. Tired of lollipop? Downgrade completely (firmware and all) to KitKat. It's almost like having a Nexus device.
Hi Jay
I get demo devices through my employer, every single HTC ROM out there inclues demoflow, the device it's self is essentialy a generic unit with an alternate CID, the demo installation and launch is triggered by CID HTC_002, the most effective way to get rid of demoflo and make the device 100% generic, is to S-Off and supercid! (11111111)
Once you are supercid you can flash any ruu and you will still have a 100% generic device, OTA updates and all... Demo won't even install.
The alternative method would be to simply remove /system/etc/.demoflo and /system/priv-app/DemoFlowInstaller
This will break ota and carrying the 002 cid will bring demoflo back when you flash any HTC ruu.
My M9 came as a demo unit, I modified the supersu installer to do the work for me as S-off isn't yet available... Htc dev unlock - twrp & flash the modified supersu zip.. once again breaking ota but I have an ruu on standby..
Feel free to shout if you need assistance.
Thanks

Hi Lee,
Sorry it's taken me a few days to thank you for this post - but thank you! I have an M9 that is stuffed with demo content on the _002 CID. Could you help me in removing this software? I would really appreciate it.

iv tried using the sd card way and fastboot way
the sd card way has become a problem now since my pc wont let my copy files to it ""This device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."
fastboot method seems to be the only way to get a response from the device or anything to work.
any help what so ever will be greatly appreciated since iv been trying to fix this for the past 5 days to no avail .
May I suggest you edit your original post to delete your IMEI? We don't need it to troubleshoot and it could be abused.
From the information you've given, it looks like your phone is a Europe WWE-based phone on the Optus Australia carrier network. Your OS version indicates that you're on the Lollipop firmware (2.9.710.4).
Windows driver issues are best solved by installed HTC's Sync Manager (link below). Alternatively, you could pull the sd card from the phone and copy files directly onto it - this may be the simplest way to avoid driver issues.
Since you can install (and access?) TWRP, probably the easiest thing to do will be to flash a compatible ROM. As you are on the Lollipop firmware, you can't flash any of the Marshmallow ROMs. Doing so will result in an endless boot or bootloop.
If you want to upgrade to the latest firmware, you could use the sd card method to install the latest RUU. Flippy498's Google Sheet (link below) has a guide & the files necessary to do this.
peace,

I can't help you with flashing via fastboot - perhaps others can.
On the flip side, you could use the sd card method outlined in Flippy498's Google Sheet. That should get you set.

Are you trying to downgrade with S-ON? That's not possible. S-ON phones can only use RUUs which have the same firmware version or a higher one. Besides you could flash the TWRP 2.x version I linked in my sheet and restore the 2.9.710.4 backup with my instructions to solve your "no system" problem. The TWRP version you mentioned in your first post is outdated and with the currently installed firmware you can't use TWRP 3.x since it requests the marshmallow firmware.

Hi hoping someone can help me - I've just wasted two days trying to get my phone to work again, but right now, it only goes to the bootloader.
I have HTC One M9, with S-ON, rooted, with TWRP bootloader installed. I can not get any ROMs to install at all - actually, they do install, just don't boot. I believe this is because I don't have the correct firmware version installed. I can't get any firmware to install. When trying to update firmware, I get;-

Ok - so I've progressed, in as much as I've managed to put an old unofficial copy of CM12 on it. This has at least got me up and running.
Now need to get it back to Stock so I can patch firmware, and then install latest version of CM13.
Only, all the guides I read, say to flash Stock you need S-OFF - which I can only achieve by running Sunshine unlock - but I can't run Sunshine Unlock on this unofficial version of CM12.
Does anyone have any ideas they can throw my way? Thanks

Buddy once u install the rom, take the boot.img frm the rom zip file & flash it via adb in bootloader mode it will flash evn if ur s-on, custom roms need their respective boot.img files to be flashed when s-on in case of s-off its done by twrp or cwm recovery hope it helps
Hi Seth,
So the great news is that you do not need to be S-OFF to upgrade your firmware, which is what it sounds like you need to do.
Unfortunately, you can't take an OTA update, so you need to flash an RUU. While this will reset your phone (wiping everything but your SD card), it will also get your phone up to date.
Do you know which variant of the M9 you have? Once you get that information, you can use download the appropriate RUU and flash it to your phone. I've included some links below that are helpful - I especially recommend Flippy498's Google sheet, which has almost everything you need (with instructions!) to update your firmware.
Peace,

Thanks for the info guys. So I decided the best path was to RUU back to Stock then upgrade firmware OTA.
So, I tried to connect phone to HTC Sync Manager, but get the dreaded USB can't connect 170 error - even though the OS can see the phone, and its memory card fine.
So I decided to try Ubuntu to extract the RUU, so I can just patch it on SD card. However, I can't get the unruu program to compile properly, because its got some error with the required version of unshield.
So I'm at a dead-end, and resisting putting a hammer through the screen of this phone, which has now cost me about 4 days worth of effort - and still doesn't work.
The only thing I've managed to get working on it so far, is a crappy unofficial copy of CM12 - that crashes about 15-20 times a day.
Can anyone please offer me some advice, or a stock rom.zip for an unlocked m9?

If you can pull you CID & MID, it'll be easy to identify which RUU you need. Most are easily found online.
So more progress. Having relocked my bootloader, I am now able to get the HTC RUU exe to connect to the phone from Windows. Only problem now is that I'm getting the
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
this makes me think I've got the wrong RUU. I'm pretty sure I've got the correct SKU, but not sure about the rest of it. From running fastboot getvar all I get;-

Can someone please help me - I now have a phone that won't go beyond the bootloader. Thanks
Ok, so I think the problem here, is the RUU I have is a downgrade from the existing version. With that in mind, can someone please help me out massively by pointing me in the direction of the correct RUU?
Thanks again.

Use this. Rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip copy it to your externel sd card. Reboot to download mode and press vol up than wait. Your phone will have latest firmware with 6.0
awesome - thanks for your help
Hi,
I had tried rooting my At&T HTC One M9 using the NOOB friendly guide written by KingInTheNorth. After completing, my phone wouldn't boot up. It got into a bootloop. I then found a guide (from another website) on how to reload the stock RUU. I followed the direction but it looks as if the file was bad. The following is copied from the command prompt.

Now my phone is stuck on the screen that shows a phone with a green arrow in a green circle pointing down. I've tried rebooting but it doesn't respond to any button presses. Did I ruin my phone? Can anyone help?
Try to type fastboot reboot in your command prompt. It should reboot your phone. If you're lucky it will reboot your phone normally and it's fully functional. If not, your phone will boot into bootloader which will mean your rom is wiped.
That's not a RUU that you were trying to flash and the guide written by KingInTheNorth is outdated since different firmware versions of the M9 can only get rooted with different versions of SuperSU. Check the ReadMe thread for the guides and files you may need.
@Suurbier91: Never recommend people to reboot if a flash failed unless they know exactly what's going on. There are some flashing errors that can only get fixed if the phone gets flashed immediately, again. A reboot makes those bricks permanent and unrecoverable.
Thanks for the direct to the Read Me. I've found a lot of good information there. After my battery died, I charged the phone and it's coming back on. It still has a boot loop that lasts for between five to ten minutes before booting up. I am going to try following one of the threads I found on here to get back to stock. Hopefully that will take care of the boot loop issue. I was wanted to root it so I could upgrade to Nougat. The phone was originally AT&T but I paid to unlock it and I'm now on Cricket but I don't receive any OTA updates.
That's probably so because the phone is only sim unlocked but still using the AT&T firmware. Don't ask me why they're allowed to do so (it wouldn't be possible in the EU) but AT&T won't let you download OTAs if there isn't an AT&T sim card inserted into your phone.
If you don't need the AT&T branded firmware then I'd get S-OFF and convert my phone to the dev edition if I were you. If you choose to stay on the AT&T firmware then you can update your phone via a RUU. Be aware that it's not possible to update from firmware 3.x or lower to firmware 4.x via RUUs due to new encryption keys.

Hey, guys,
my 10 is s-on and locked and starts only in bootloader or download mode, token query does not work, says oem locked.
I think the only option is a ruu.exe or ruu.zip.
here's the problem.
cid is htc__102 and I can't find an appropriate one anywhere, does someone have a link for me or another solution?
I hope you can help me.

You start with looking at your OS/Firmware line in the download mode, then search here for the corresponding RUU. I bet if you use the search box you will definitely find it. I can so you can too.......

If it were that simple .......
the cid is htc__102 .......
the firmware is 1.30.401.1........
the only thing I could find would be a cid o2__102, does this fit...... .
So if you had a match, I'd be very grateful.

Don't look at cid, this version is just like yours the WWE version. Look at your firmware region number the. 401 part. I would not have linked this if it would be the wrong one

I told you it's the correct one, HTC 102 is the same firmware as HTC 34 or any other WWE firmware, it stands for the European firmware. You can't flash any other. Of you look at the O2 102 cid you will also see that it's a completely different firmware number and that there is NO .401 in it because it's a carrier locked firmware.
The only thing that is possible is that the jump from 1.30.401 to 2.41.401 is to big, you might need a 1.90.401 or 1.30.401 ruu first as the 1.30.401 is VERY old !
Do this :
Put the 2.41 RUU on your sdcard and boot into the download mode (file named as 2PS6IMG.ZIP) and flash the file. See if that works.
Believe me i know what i am talking about......
Edit 1 :
Please post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar all
Paste the whole outcome EXCEPT the imei and serial number.

Be careful you didn't name the file .zip.zip as windows automatically hides extensions.
And yes download mode should autodetect them
And these are absolutely the correct files.

Try them all with the sdcard method, 1 by 1. I can't offer anything else as this what you need. If the download mode doesn't detect the file you named it wrong.

I have formatted the sd card at the pc and only the zip on it, zip.zip in no case
FAILED (remote: 9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL zip from usb command in download mode) <<---- which means?
Which fastboot version would you recommend?
The problem with the sd card has been solved. There was a hidden partition of samsung on it. After reformatting the htc recognizes the file.
Okay, I tried them 1 by 1
Always with the same result :
"Fail 7 RU_CID_FAIL cid in androidinfo mismatched"
.........
Then the last method to update is to flash the 2.41.401 standalone firmware (not the RUU), locate it, download it, OPEN the firmware.zip with 7zip and drag out android info.txt, edit the file and add your CID (HTC__102) save the text and flash the firmware via fastboot. Be aware that your device has to be in RUU mode. After you flashed the firmware you should be able to flash the full 2.41.401 RUU.
That's all i can think of. You should have updated your phone long way back then you would not have this problem. Your current OS is like the stoneage is in time ! For all i know it has something to do with the problem why it only starts to bootloader and/or download mode, maybe the problem is bigger than just to flash a RUU.

Ok, as last way I will try. . . . . . but just to understand it, the new firmware doesn't change the cid, then the ruu doesn't care the cid?
I have entered the cid htc__102 in the ruu and it has aborted.
I will report...thanks

You can't change a cid in the RUU, unless you decrypt it ? A firmware can't change your cid because your device is S-ON. Only with s-off you can change the cid.
I told you to change the Android info.txt file which is inside the firmware (not the RUU) so that the firmware knows your cid is supported.

You may have to flash hosd_signed.img at bootloader (not download) before you flash the firmware. Extract the hosd_signed.img from the firmware zip and do 'fastboot flash hosd hosd_signed.img' in the bootloader mode; followed by flashing the firmware in the download mode.

No that's not needed because this is not about downgrading the bootloader/firmware. That's only needed when you want to downgrade the firmware on an S-ON device.
Edit :
To Wolf
Here is the 130.401 to 180.401 firmware.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591020540821778
Open the firmware (NOT EXTRACT) and drag out the Android info txt file and edit in your exact CID. Save it and drag it back in the firmware.zip. then flash the zip as intended. Please check how to properly flash the firmware for a S-ON device.
i believe you have to enter RUU mode first before you can flash it so please check that out !!!
//You can't change a cid in the RUU, unless you decrypt it ? //
I started the ruu, then I went to the temp folder and changed the android-info, then I started the htc and started the flash process (it was worth a try)
//A firmware can't change your cid because your device is S-ON. Only with s-off you can change the cid. //
That's probably it....that's why I wonder why the ruu should work with another firmware(because the cid error always comes) and if the flashing of the firmware works, but the ruu doesn't, then the htc is an organ donor (more than now)?
now I'm confused:
firmware 1.8 ---> firmware 2.41 -----> Ruu 2.41 or
firmware 1.8 ----> Ruu 2.41 or
firmware 2.41 ---> Ruu 2.41 how would you do that?
