[Q] Still running 3.16.0.0000 and can't seem to update

Hello everyone,
I've been searching through the hundreds of topics here on the forums and have tried many suggestions but haven't been able to solve this yet...
I want to try and update my M8 to the latest firmware etc so need to go back to stock to get the OTA but I can't seem to do it. I think I'm running old firmware and can't seem to get s-off.
I get the following with fastboot getvar all:

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to get back to stock so I can update this beast? I'm currently running ViperRom and philz_touch_6.48.4 recovery but have tried twrp-2.8.0.1 too.
I get the 'unable to mount' issue a lot and have only just got past the decyption issue.
Any help very much appreciated.

Thank you ckpv5. That's where I'd just come from. When I try restoring the nandroid backup (i flashed the TWRP recovery and tried it (extracting to folder and using 'restore'), as well as giving CVM a go too) it tells me there is no partition selected. In TWRP, after I've selected the correct folder to restore from, the next screen doesn't show me anything in the box there.
Surely it's not just me having so many issues?

Surely it's you and your problem ....
Why don't you make a backup with TWRP say select "boot" only.
After reboot, you should see where actually that backup is located.
The extracted backup should go to the same directory
Read this step by step ... replace the numbers with your backup numbers
read No. 3 a-f (assuming you use my uploaded TWRP nandroid backup)

Thank you very much ckpv5, that's sorted things now.
I still can't get s-off via firewater (it gives me the 'whelp' message that it's not possible and will never be possible to s-off my device) for some reason though.

That reason is - HTC Patched it. It won't work.
The only other method to get S-OFF is through Sunshine S-OFF, it costs $25.

RUU for Stock Lollipop

Hi All,
I'm slightly confused and I was hoping someone could help. My phone is European with SuperCID, so I'm guessing I can install any RUU from the EU that has stock lollipop and it will work? An RUU will flash my entire phone back to stock right, including recovery?

Just did it before your reply! Sorry I forgot to include it initially.

I saw it ... you have T-MOB US version-main on EU device.
If you want it to be stock EU lollipop 4.16.401.10, this thread is for you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235
Or you can simply run RUU.exe - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleeTQ5U1NzNkZzM0U/edit?pli=1

HTC One M8 - OTA Update Error
Hello,
Could you please advise me on this,
Recently i purchased HTC One M8 from Aliexpress,
And it is a TEST Device, Hong Kong Edition.
I tried to update through OTA but after downloading it shows, " Your phone running modified version of Android, So installation will be cancelled"
I read some threads and i find it more complicated, I don't know what is the actual problem itself. Help me brother please.

OTA depends on your CID/MID and version-main and most probably you have a wrong MID for the software version
You should have 0P6B63000 for your current software version

Your device MID is wrong. You need to change it to 0P6B63000
See this thread on how-to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
and the command that you need is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54909204&postcount=136
after you change MID to 0P6B63000, install the stock recovery and try the OTA again.. it should work this time provided you have a pure stock 2.11.708.2 with all system files intact.

Thank you so much,
I have two questions ( I am sorry if it sounds dumb, i am a complete novice)
1. Does this process require Unlocked Boot-loader or Root?
2.Install stock recovery? Currently i have Stock Recovery, Is that necessary to install again after changing MID? If Yes, Could you share the thread link please?
Thanks for your time. Appreciate your help.

1. It requires root. If your ROM currently no root, then you need to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery like TWRP to install root/SuperSu
or .. unlock bootloader, install TWRP recovery .. no need to install root and you can run the command to change MID while in recovery.
2. If you already have stock recovery installed then no need. But I believe you need to do as no. 1 then you need to reinstall stock recovery.

finding the right RUU

Hi,
second try. First post didn't go through... good thing I didn't save what I typed.
I'm trying to update my firmware, I've read somewhere that a RUU is the easiest way to do so. The one I found "somewhere" doesn't go through with the update proses. It spits out error 155, bootloader is relocked hboot version is 3.16.000 and I'm S-on (not that I was able to change that).
I'm loosing my patience and I'm about to throw the phone in the trash. I've some one can point me to a RUU that work with it I'd be in your debt. The carrier is O2 Germany BTW.
thanks and happy new year.

Even though I can guess which RUU that you might need .. is best to post
fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no. to confirm it
If it is really a O2, I'll link you the RUU

Here is your RUU - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555499
This will update your device directly to lollipop 4.20.206.1

Thanks for the quick response. I've started the download, but slow internet means it'll take about 45min I'll report back once I'm done.
I realized I haven't really said anything about my intentions, I did that the first time I wrote the post which wasn't posted because my session in the forum got kicked or something.
I wanted to update CM to CM12 and I've managed to flash a stock ROM with lollipop but wifi won't work. So my main concern was updating the firmware so that I can flash CM12. This would enable me to do so?
thanks again.

Restore a stock ROM, you can't use lollipop. Wifi won't work because you have hboot 3.16.0000
You only can restore 1.54.206.10 stock ROM and its stock recovery then do all OTAs up to lollipop then only it work for wifi and other thing.
Using a RUU will remove everything on your device including internal storage (so make backup) then it will update everything including firmware to lollipop. So it is faster compare the nandroid backup method. You have less OTA to do.
Got to rest now .. already in bed .. its 4 AM here .. I'll check your progress tomorrow .. good luck

When you asked for RUU I expect you know all the requirements to run RUU ...
Your problem is related to PC/USB to device connection problem ...
You need to relock bootloader before you run RUU because your device is S-On
(I believe you did that as stated on post #1)
and you need a Windows PC with USB2.0 and latest HTC USB driver installed.
If you're not sure about HTC USB driver - download HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
install then after uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave the HTC USB driver

Edited: That did the trick RUU worked flawlessly and all is fine now, as a token of my gratitude I donated some money. It's not much, about what I can afford right now, but I felt like it since I#ve been struggling with this problem for so long now.
So thank you very much for the quick responses and the patience. Have a nice year!

I waited for about mins and it said to press power button to restart and nothing changed tried a few times but nothing is happening. already run the fastboot oem lock command before doing all this. can i know what m i doing wrong? or can I have a exe file. thank u

You need htc_fastboot.exe to install the RUU zip.
Follow the steps as explained here but using your own RUU zip (skip that no.1) -

Or if you prefer the exe method .. you can follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67314040&postcount=1749

Thank a lot bro please help me out of a new problem, ur method worked completely fine . I successfully switched from custom to stock rom and then installed the updates available. Now i wanted to root so
I unlocked bootloader using htc dev
Started the phone and all the apps optimized which took around30-40 mins
Now i shifted to bootloader installed twrp then installed supersu which i had already put in extsd
Phone didnt started for an hour stuck on htc screen
Used adb reboot bootloader and repeated everything all again right from fastboot oem lock doing ruu and all still it is same
It works all very fine before installing supersu after that all chaos dont know what to do

Tried to root HTC one m8 on Marshmallow, Now no OS installed

Greetings,
So i updated my m8 to marshmallow and then i did these steps to root
1)unlocked Bootloader
2)Flashed TWRP
3)Flashed Superuser.zip
When i did the above, the device stuck at boot screen and so i did the following
4) Recovery mode TWRP
5)Wiped data,cache, system(By mistake)
and then it said "No OS Installed"
I tried to flash the official RUU.exe (RUU_M8_UHL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_4.18.720.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_417228_signe)
which i use to previously do it in case i mess up like this but that RUU is not working any more, it says please run another rom utility ..Image error..
I think the Radio version is updated and also the Hboot too(Not sure)
the current version as i see on screen on fastboot are as follows
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT- 3.19.0.0000

You can't run an older version RUU unless you have s-off.
If there is a Marshmallow RUU for your CID, it will work. You will also need to relock the bootloader (if you haven't already).
Otherwise, find a TWRP backup of the proper MM version number. Or just flash a stock/custom ROM to get the phone running again.

Instructions on how to restore TWRP backups is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
I see some MM backups are starting to be posted there. But it doesn't look like one is posted yet for 720.

TWRP-- 2.7.0.2
SuperUser--2.46
i got hands on to the OTA.zip file
this file---->> M8 6.15.720.2 OTA Update ZIP:
https://mega.nz/#!iMBBHBqS!pEKTGDGBk...BJ9g29H3KFAhDY
I'm S-ON....currently it says "No OS Installed"
Will be much appreciated if i can get assistance to get back to either marshmallow or lollipop.

Hello, First of all thanks to CKPV5 for the backups for my CID...
So when i try to restore the backup, the screen is stuck at "Restoring System" for 2 hours.. i guess this is not normal..
The following is what happened
1)Downloaded TWRP Backup ..This one-->> 6.15.720.2 https://mega.nz/#!mxZUADbA!y5Nc2PFk9...K5YlsZHdorQgXM
2)Extracted the backup on PC
3)Booted to TWRP recovery and made a backup of boot only(To check where the backup goes on my device).. it was in external SD in twrp/backups/Serialno.)
4) I enabled MTP on TWRP and transfered the 6.15.720.2 Folder to the twrp/backups/serialno.
5) Then i did a wipe of dalvikcache,cache,data,system(Did x3 times as i read somewhere)
6)Restore-- selected the 6.15.720.2 backup and swiped to restore
i waited for 2 hours+ and gave up.. So i downloaded another TWRP backup for my CID HTC__038.. i.e 4.18.720.8 Stock Unrooted ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=707
I tried the same above process.. The same problem persists... It's stuck at "Restoring system"
Did i do something wrong? Please assist.. Thanks a ton

Use correct TWRP version 2.8.7.0 or latest
TWRP 2.7.0.2 is outdated, won't work on MM.
Read again all 14 steps..
Also, don't install root/SuperSU offered by TWRP.
Later after all are ok, use only SuperSU 2.67 to root

TWRP version is really really old, like KitKat old.
I think you mean SuperSU version, as that number scheme is for SuperSU, and doesn't make sense for SU. And that number doesn't work for MM. That is the reason you got stuck after rooting.
Good rule of thumb, is always check on updated root methods after an update. The old root methods almost never work after a major OS update.

you have to get OTA.zip from previous version 4.18.720.8 then extract it and find firmware.zip. you have to flash it see this video how to flash firmware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybu7fZa41so
the install twrp and restore 4.18.720.8 stock nandroid. then again install stock recovery instead of TWRP.

There are several reasons why this won't work. Any one of the following will prevent the OTA file from installing. You have all three of these problems:
1) You can't flash OTA with TWRP, you need stock recovery.
2) You can't OTA if the ROM isn't stock. Which sounds like a chicken-and-egg dilemma, since you are trying to flash the OTA in order to return to stock. But it really doesn't matter since:
3) The phone has already been updated to Marshmallow at some point, and you can't OTA update a phone that has already been updated (even if you met the stock ROM and stock recovery, of Items 1 and 2 above). I can tell the phone was updated to MM at some point (even thought the main version is blank), based on the radio number. Note that the OTA file you are trying to flash says "6.12.401.4_R-4.16.401.13" which explicitly expects and requires you be on 4.16.401.13 in order for the update to install.
What you want is the 6.12.401.4 RUU (not an OTA), which can be found here (and follow the instructions therein - no need to relock bootloader since you are s-off, which is says in the instructions): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
Note that RUU will wipe all user data on the phone.
Or alternately, restore stock TWRP backup 6.12.401.4 from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
The instructions are in post #1 of the linked thread, but the file you need (6.12.401.1) is in Post #3 of that thread (which often confuses people).

I suggest to ask @ckpv5, who is awesomely helpful, and can probably fix the download as soon as he can.

Already in bed .. I believe I have a mirror for this on Mega.. will check tomorrow.
Recently it seems AFH always down but it should be up in a few hours.

Thanks guys @redpoint73 and @ckpv5 for the help, RUU successfully installed and working fine. Yepiiiiiiiiii
