Can't get wifi to work/can't figure out which firmware to use

I have an AT&T HTC M8, I believe it is on 4.4.2, and I tried flashing ARHD and got the dreaded no wi-fi problem, and I can't figure out for my life which firmware to use that will let me use wi-fi. I've been looking through the internet since 2 AM this morning, so any help would be great.

Follow the directions and flash the latest firmware.

When you say that, based on the time your post was made(for my time zone) you haven't been looking for very long...

I'm stuck at the "4. Boot into hboot and READ, INTERNALIZE, & then EXECUTE and let it update its firmware."
How do I read, internalize, and execute it? The directions for this are very scattered.

Im assuming your phone is S-OFF?
Before this, was your phone updated by any OTA's? This is just to confirm that you were on 4.4.2.

I am S-off, but yes, firewater told me I took an OTA (must have happened before I bought the phone) so I had to use Sunshine or whatever, now I'm S-off and don't know what to do next.

When you reboot the phone to bootloader you'll notice a couple of options that you can select one of them is "HBOOT" I think it's written in blue.
Select it with the volume up or down key and press power to go in, it'll then show a scrolling of I think it's green text where it's looking for files on sd card. It should pick up your renamed firmware file and give you option to update with it.

Hmm, I moved the renamed file (renamed to 0P6BIMG.zip) to external SD through TWRP, but when I go into Hboot, it doesn't do anything. I feel like it's something obvious.

Maybe try and move it to internal storage. Check that it's named correctly, a ZERO (0) and not a O <Capital o... Make sure it's .zip and not .zip.zip else...
Do it manually with mike1986.'s flash guide.

Can I get a link to that?

Well that's logical isn't it? AT&T doesn't use x.xx.401.x. Even if you do flash the latest 3.x firmware on your device you'll probably have problems seeing as the radio's are different.
Rather go with the Developer Edition 3.x firmware. AT&T and Dev Edition share same radio, MID etc. It's the 3.28.1540.5 firmware you can find it in the OTA zip collection.
OTA ZIP COLLECTION
Just download the OTA and extract the firmware.zip file from the OTA.zip. If you flash the 3.28.401.x you might have issues with LTE etc

Yeap that zip should work, @BerndM14 beat me to it. I really need to bookmark all these threads.
Just make sure you flash it twice without leaving the RUU flash screen.

Help with s-off and unbranding

Hi everyone ,
Here is my problem, I bought a french htc one m8 with orange carrier, I unlocked my bootloader and installed phil's touch recovery and then I flashed skydragon rom 4.4.2 with htc sense 6 but now I would like to flash the last skydragon lollipop but here's my problem , I can't go s-off with this rom so I can't update my firmware or change my CID, so I can't install lollipop rom without wifi's problem. I would like to know how can I do to update my firmware to 4.4.4 cause I tried to s-off with firewater but doesn't work too.
Anyone have a solution would be a god to me ^^
Thanks in advance.

Firewater doesn't work anymore. HTC patched the exploit.
You'll have to use SunShine S-Off. It costs $25, but is guaranteed to work or you don't pay.
Having S-Off is totally worth $25 IMO.
Here's a link to their website.

Go to this thread. It has a collection of stock backups you can falsh to get back your stock ROM.
It also has a collection of stock recoveries to flash with ADB if you need that.
All the instructions are there.

Firmware is something separate. That link will get you back to stock ROM. Then use Sunshine to s off. After that, you can update your firmware.

The stock recoveries or in that link too. I'm not sure if you need them for sunshine though. Try with custom recovery, if that doesn't work, get a stock recovery.
Or get both ROM and recovery stock, then reflash a custom recovery and ROM.
If you get both to stock, you shouldn't have any issues.

Firmware updates. If you have one fresh out of the box, Firewater would probably still work. And still does for some.

First, I misunderstood your earlier question. Yes the number in front of the backups are for firmware.
To help you more, I'll need some information. Hook up your phone to your computer and start ADB. Then issue these commands:
adb reboot fastboot (wait till your phone boots into fastboot)
fastboot getvar all
Then post what the readout says here, but edit out your serial number (serialno) and IMEI for your own safety.
Then I'll be able to give you a little more guidance.

Your CID is ORANG202 and your firmware is 1.54.73.5, so you will need the backup that corresponds with that.
The backup available was made with TWRP recovery. So you'll need that. (In my opinion, TWRP is a better recovery, less issues)
You could go to their website to download it and get instructions on how to flash it, but there is a much easier way.
Go to the Play Store and install an app called TWRP Manager. Hit the three line menu thingy on the top left, and pick "Install TWRP".
After that go back to the stock backup thread and flash the backup that matches your CID and firmware.

My friend has made a comprehensive guide on firmware and firmware flashing, complete with downloads. Make sure to read the whole opening post so you understand everything. It looks like it might be hard because of his full explanation of the whole process, but it's actually very easy. And very informative.

[Q] Need help returning to stock on my hon kong htc one m8

So I purchased the phone from somone, but the person who sold the phone to me also had a previous owner who rooted the phone and installed a rom. So as I deleted all the files for the person, something must have happened because ever since then, the wifi is not responding. It cannot search any routers nor does it turn on. So I am trying to return the phone to stock condition, but the process was a bit too hard for me to understand. Can someone explain it a bit easy for someone who does not know a lot about HTC devices and rooting?
So far, when I enter recovery mode, I get
Tampered Unlocked M8UL PVT SHIP S-OFF CID-HTC_622 HBOOT-3.16.0.0000 RADIO-1.16.21331831.A16G OpenDSP-v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311 OS- eMMC-boot 2048MB May 20 2014
I think I wiped the recovery program(TWRP) or something because all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point. I had done the getvar but I did not get any info in the main version part. So far I have installed the Maximus HD 9.0.0 rom. The radio is fine. Text, phone call, data all seems to work, but the only thing that is not working is the wifi. What steps should I take to return the phone to stock so that I don't have to worry about rooting and stock roms? As always, thanks for the feedback everybody! I had so much help from you guys!

Your wifi isn't working because you are running a 4.4.4 ROM with 4.4.2 firmware. Look for a 4.4.2 based ROM, or update your firmware.
You can download the last(newest) 4.4.2 based Maximus HD ROM from here.

So is it possible to get a rom with a 4.4.2 and get an OTA from that ROM to a 4.4.4? Or does that not work. And also, I think I may have wiped the Recovery Program(TWRP?) and I think I need to install that again. Thanks for the help.

You will never get an OTA on a custom ROM. The problem is your model (Hong Kong). I'm not sure if you will be able to find stock backups or an RUU to return to stock to take the OTAs.
Hook up the phone to your PC, start up ADB/fastboot, and issue the command fastboot getvar all and post the readout here. I'll see if I can find something for you to return to stock. Edit out the serial no and IMEI from the readout for your own security.

Thanks for the help, but the only problem that I have with the RUU and the stock backup is that I am confused on how to install them. Can you help me with distinguishing between them? I saw that when you want your m8 stock Google, you need to have some sort of Google RUU but that is as far as I know regarding RUU and Stock backups.

The RUUs aren't from Google, they are from HTC. I'm not sure if you'll find one for the Hong Kong model or not. The same applies for returning to stock using the stock ROM and recovery backups that are available here. You could also update your firmware manually since you are S-Off, but until I see a getvar, I can't point you in the right direction.

Okay. The link I provided in my last post has a stock backup for you. Choose the ones from CID HTC_622. You will need the one for 1.60.708.2 and the TWRP version for it installed in your phone. Put it into your backup folder and flash it. (full instructions are on that thread) Then you will need to flash the stock recovery from that thread. I couldn't find one to match. You might have to look elsewhere. You will be able to get the OTAs after that.
Or you could change to SuperCID (lots of instructions for that on XDA) and change your MID (Model ID, also lots of instructions here ~ change to 0P6B10000), then update manually with WWE firmware. You may be able to run WWE without changing your MID, but I can't confirm that. My MID is 0P6B12000, and I was able to flash international WWE firmware myself. Hope this helps.

Sure. To go back to stock to get the OTAs, you need a stock ROM and stock recovery. I could find a stock ROM backup from that thread for your device, but not a stock recovery that matched. You will have to find that one on your own.

Hi! After some searching, I have found the file, but I am not really sure on what to do. The link that you provided me really did not explain a lot. I am a bit confused on the part where I got the zip, but don't know really what to do. I got the zip that you wanted me, the HTC 622 one with the 1.6.0XXX and you told me to put it in a recovery folder(?). Do I have to put it in there or is it something I can flash right off my sd card? Is the zip something that I put in the TWRP folder? I really tried to google it, but all I get is how I can use RUU on H BOOT to install TWRP or something. Thanks for the help.
Edit 1. Sorry, I forgot to mention the zip! The stock nandroid backups. I got that, but the recovery that you mentioned, I really got lost trying to look for it. Is it possible to just flash the nandroid backup without the boot loader locked but S-off with the TWRP and get the stock ROM?

Okay. So I did a little research and came up with an official HTC RUU for your phone. As far as I know, it is the latest for the Hong Kong version (4.4.3). I say as far as I know because I don't deal with HK versions very often here.
Hook up to your PC and get into ADB/fastboot.
Download the official RUU from HTC's website by clicking here.
When the download is finished, double click it and choose run, (it's an .exe formatted file) then follow the prompts.
But please relize that running the RUU will WIPE EVERYTHING, so backup anything that you have that you don't want to lose.

When the download is finished, double click it and choose run, (it's an .exe formatted file) then follow the prompts.
But please relize that running the RUU will WIPE EVERYTHING, so backup anything that you have that you don't want to lose.

There's a button for that thanks.

When I click on the link I get a .zip file with two .tar.gz files inside. No exe file. Am I missing something?

Softbrick or sth else? Ideas welcome

Hi guys,
I tried to make a custom rom on my new HTC10 - something goes wrong (no it wasnt my first one )
But now I am a little bit stucked:
First the data:
** UNLOCKED **
htc_pmeuhl PVT S-OFF
CID-11111111
MID-2PS620000
ColorID-WHT00
LK-1.0.0.0000
[email protected]
OpenDSP-v20.0.8996.00007_0809
OS-2.41.401.41
Aug 2 2017,12:18:15(857212)
The Error happend after "updating" the firmware cause the Lee-Rom suggested the newst one. After the first "Loop" I tried the next one and the next and the next... I dont know how much Firmwares I tried honestly...
I am able to boot into TWRP and I am able to come back to Stock Recovery... So that will work... Maybe my partition crasehd with the Rom?
Any Idea or a little step by step suggestion?
I did the "How to root and TWRP" - Youtube tutorial by Rootjunky and until than everything worked fine... after that the failed Firmware-Update...
I have an EU-Phone, based in Germany
Hope anyone can help and thanks a lot for any ideas!
Cheers

You are on the latest firmware for you phone. Did you try flash a US Unlocked firmware? Best thing to do is to flash the latest WWE RUU. Thanks @Kisakuku
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797504
Download and rename the zip to 2PS6IMG. zip
Place on external sdcard
Boot to download mode and press volume uo to flash. The RUU will erase EVERYTHING but you will be completely stock.

RUU = Rom Update Utility. It flashes the phone completely as if it came out of the box. Firmware, software.... the whole thing.

So I just have to flash the RUU - after that if the bootloader is still unlocked I can go ahead to flash a custom rom - right?
Thank you very much guys!

Yup, flash the RUU, the bootloader will indeed remain unlocked. Flash TWRP and install the desired custom rom

2. flash twrp ( https://twrp.me/htc/htc10.html) explained there
3. go into twrp do a data format or wipe ... or both and flash rom - gapps - supersu

You mention flash gapps, for sense roms you don't have to do that, for aosp roms yes. But most of the time it's mentioned in the OP of aosp roms that you have to flash it twice, or flash the boot.img seperatly via fastboot to make it work. The correct gapps will do wonders too...... so i guess one of those things were the issue.

Depends if you are on a carrier, there is a T-Mobile variant that didn't get the update and if that's the case you need S-OFF to convert and update.
Let's start with some valuable information we need before doing anything.
Boot to download mode and write down EVERYTHING that is showing there. From there we can give the info you need.

As far as i can say now it doesn't get the Oreo update officially, only option is to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, flash SuperSU root and use sunshine to S-OFF the device so you can convert the firmware.

Yes, but thats my dilema. I cant unlock the bootloader because i cant register to Htcdev.com(always send me back to the first page with all the spaces in blank) and cant use Sunchine cause i dont have root and the temporary root failed by the application.So im stock in 7.0 right now and i dont know what to do..

Hi guys. Sorry to join the conversation here. Hi @Mr Hofs. Can you please help me too? My HTC 10 is still running on Nougat, unlocked with TWRP and custom rom installed and I've just decided to try out Oreo now.
Which step do you recommend? Flash the Nougat RUU then OTA to Oreo OR straight flash to RUU Oreo?
Whichever you recommend I'll do. Can you please also direct me to download link of the needed file and the steps.
Thank you very much. You're a big help on Leedroid ROM but don't want to post there as it is off topic.?
Attached is the details of my phone.

Hi,
I can help you too, flash the nougat ruu because if you want to flash the Oreo ruu you need to flash the firmware itself first otherwise it won't work.
Don't have the time right now to search for the correct ruu link but if you have the time just look for the ruu.zip that has your OS number (2.41.709). Rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip and place it on the SD card and boot to the download mode. It will detect the file and asks you flash it by pressing volume up.

You unlocked the BL, now you need to flash TWRP and then SuperSU / root.zip to gain root access on your rom and then install sunshine and run it.
Edit :
Flash this file just like a ruu in download mode :
Link removed, need your CID and MODELID, fastboot getvar all command gives you the output. If I have that i can make a flashable TWRP zip file, of flash TWRP.img via fastboot.
Install this file in TWRP recovery :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/i26f93hfg4xwgfk/Super_SU.zip?dl=0
After that reboot and run sunshine.

Ok,bootloader unlock and i have root(magisk).Now i want to know if i "have to" or if "i want to " turn Son to Soff.I ask because sunshine is a paid application and i will like to avoid that if I can .But if theres not other option i do it.

To flash another firmware (convert from T-Mobile to let's say wwe Europe oreo) you need sunshine. There is no other option.
The only thing you can do at this moment is flash a marshmallow custom rom but no oreo roms.
