No problem, but as immortalneo said, check that ROM thread, read the instructions for proper installation and keep proper back up. Also check the ROM thread in detail for the reviews about that ROM from the users.

Getting 5.x Lollipop Update on Rooted HTC ON M8 International

Hi all
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot find any information on this for the life of me and it's driving me mad.
I have a notification stating that my 5.0 OTA update is ready but I can't install it due to the Custom Recovery on my device.
I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376) and flashed the 'stock' (not actually Stock - every link it CWM or TWRP) recovery but it didn't work and the update still fails. I think I read somewhere that something is different about this particular update.. that you need to have an 'untouched'/never rooted device?
Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeeease can someone steer me in the right direction so I can get this update sorted?
Thanks in advance.

have you made any system modifications to your current rom?
Also need CID and firmware version number
ALSO needs to be in Q&A (asked the mods to move)

Thanks for that.
No Mods to ROM, CID - HTC_001, Screenshots of software info:

ok so you have clean 3.29.401.9 stock rom installed, if not restore the nand available in my thread via TWRP. (may be best to do this as a fresh start)
Next install the 3.28.401.9 stock recovery.img from the first post in my thread.
hoprfully then u should be able to tale OTA automatically

every link is CWM or TWRP are stock Nandroid backup, not recovery.img
Look under Stock Recovery Images for the stock recovery

Thanks for your help, that seems to have done it.
The first time I didn't pay enough attention to my correct Software number (in my case 3.28.401.9). When I matched up my CID (HTC_001) I just picked a random link on that list which is why it didn't work.
Got it going now and back on custom recovery so thanks again for your assistance

You need the stock ROM (never rooted) and the stock recovery for OTAs to work.
You can find a stock TWRP backup of the ROM (change your recovery to TWRP first, obviously), and the stock recovery (for after you've flash the stock backup) in this thread.
Instructions are in the OP.

Thank you so much! I will try your solution!

Hello again, I tried to follow the instructions but I dont know which TWRP backup collection will work for my telcel (mexico) HTC m8... I am still lost at it... thank you again for your help

You need 1.12.600.20 backup which currently not available.
Make a request in my thread so I won't forget to search thru my hardisk when I'm home later. I believe I still have that 1.12.600.20 backup
Check my thread, the backup now available
Restore 1.12.600.20 backup
Install 4.32.600.2 stock recovery.img (as 1.12.600.20 recovery.img is not available)
then you can do OTA update to 4.32.600.2
The files are available at post #2 & post #4

Restoring Stock rom

Could I restore Stock rom on my htc m9 and how to do that?
And how I now which RUU to chose?

https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...134000&usg=AFQjCNGdzDwYjWYwYr-RSW3t2U9j47aOJw
Download this file. Copy it to your ext sdcard and rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip
Connect your phone to fastboot and type fastboot oem lock
Boot into download mode. Phone will prompt you to install. Press volup and wait.
Before u start backup ecerything

If you're already linking one of my files you could've linked my instructions, too, since what you wrote isn't completely correct. Re-locking the bootloader is unnecessary if you use the SD card method. In the worst case (e.g. if the RUU fails and OEM unlock isn't activated in the developer options) you could end up with a non-booting phone that can't be re-unlocked. The M9 has security checks that prevents it from booting if it isn't completely stock and the bootloader gets (re-)locked. And although I tested that RUU there can always be reasons why it fails to flash.

Could you be more specific please, I am new with htc and I dont know anything about it, What is fastboot? And if you have some time to tell me step buy step how to do that i would be greatiful. Sorry for bad english

Im sorry Flippy498 i just want to help him. You are a genious and i respect you. You are a life saver.

My bad. I didn't notice that my signature isn't visible in this thread.
Edit: I don't know why the link gets broken as soon as I save this post. You'll need to copy'n'paste the link.

THX a lot, now I'm gonna to try to restore stock rome!

@Flippy498 I have just one question, I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly but I still have Software Status marked as Modified. Would I be able to receive software updates ?

Yes, you will. And you'll be able to install them, as well. (Receiving updates is not the problem, it's being able to install them if the system has been modified. However, a RUU reverts every modification you made.)
It's just strange that the flag still says that your system is modified. Normally the SD card method should reset it to original. But that shouldn't be a problem. OTAs don't check that flag. They compare whether the checksum of the system is the same as the reference value. Since a RUU overwrites the current system with the stock one you won't face any problems here.

Thanks a lot dude for your great work and quick reply !

Upgrade from old version of PureFusion?

Hi there, everyone.
I have a big or small problem. I want to be able to flash the newest Lineage or pixel experience, but I'm not sure how to upgrade the firmware. Below, you can see the version of PureFusion. I searched the forums and it sees that i need to upgrade the firmware first as i'm on the old nougat one.
The problem comes now, my phone is UNLOCKED, but S-ON and the CID is HTC_034 Europe. I'm not sure what method to use to upgrade the firmware, as it's a bit vague. For some CID you can't find the files, or other stuff. Can someone help me with some information in this case?

Totally wrong, the current purefusion rom has nothing to do with upgrading your firmware. You need to enter download mode, look at your OS number and search for the ruu that matches that number. Flash it, update and flash TWRP, than the desired rom. Whatever purefusion is showing is not what you need
