HTC M8 cannot update to android 6.0. Please Help

Hello,
I have a HTC M8 rooted (Super SU) with TWRP Recovery and Android ver. 5.0.1, Software ver. 4.19.111.4, Baseband ver. 1.25.2145000021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F.
Last couple of days, I received a notification to update for android 6.0, but after I downloaded the update and press to "install now", the phone always restarted to TWRP recovery and do not install the update. Any Idea Why ?!!!.
Could any one help me to install the update?
Thanks

Replace the recovery to stock recovery and relock the bootloader. If you installed the modified firmware, reflash the stock firmware, you will be good

how to replace recovery with the stock one. Where I can find it.
Do i lose all my application data doing so.
No, I am using the stock firmware, so I suppose no need to reflash it.

Here you should find the stock recoveries: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/htc-one-m8-stock-recovery-verizon-sprint-att-tmobile.html
download the right recovery.img file and follow these instruction on how to flash - http://androiding.how/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-via-fastboot/ - in this just change the twrp recovery.img to the one you downloaded and run the code in command prompt.
It is recommended to do I clean install to avoid any further reported errors. Once you relock the bootloader you will lose all the data (like hard reset).

Thanks again for the info.
Unfortunately, I could not find the right stock recovery in the link you provided, so I use another one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
However, I have to ask, if I am on stock firmware; only rooted through SuperSU and with TWRP recovery,
do I need to reinstall (reflash) or restore to sotck firmware as in steps # 7 to 9 in the post (link) I added, or
can I directly flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloder and start downloading the update 6.0
Thank.

First thing .. you cannot do OTA with a rooted stock ROM, you need a non-rooted ROM.
Secondly .. there is no need to relock bootloader - read the note in my thread.
Just read again post #1 and follow all the 14 steps, you should be fine.
Anything, you can ask in my thread as I'm not following your thread.

this claims to have stock recovery, if u can please report back and let me know if it works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
so i recommend, clean flash the 1st file (u do not have to unroot b/c that file does not contain root) and then flash the stock recovery, then if u want to relock bootloader, go back into OS and dev options and uncheck OEM Unlock !!!!MAKE SURE TO FLASH STOCK RECOVERY 1ST BEFORE RE-LOCKING BOOTLOADER!!!!

Can confirm, I just wiped all partitions and flashed through TWRP, upon reboot the recovery was back to stock. Locked boot loader again and phone is working fine. Thanks!

If you return custom rom phone, they won't know either. Because the phone looks working, and the sales person does not going to use computer and check if you unlocked bootloader.
At least in Canada.

Sorry, I'm new nere (coming from Samsung) how exactly do I flash this? Through fastboot command prompt on the computer or in recovery or something else?

They still might check

Can I use OOS 3.2.2 full zip

When I install the ROM , then can I wipe- system or data>cache>dlvk-cache which you suggest. (And sorry for bad English)

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...lus-3-and-go-back-completely-to-stock.456232/
Guide here

You can get the latest stock system and recovery images from the official oneplus site at http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_3.2.1/ . I'd prefer that then from any 3rd party site. So use sideload or twrp to flash the rom + recovery then oem lock the phone again and factory reset. It's then the same as it comes in a box.

Im on the Open Beta 11 with No root and stock recovery, i want to get back to Marshmallow, Can i just "Install from Internal storage" with a Full Rom file through the stock recovery or is there any other way to do it?
The bootloader's too locked.
Pls, any help would be thankful

Update to latest miui 10 then
First you must unlock the bootloader if you haven't yet. Try to Google it
Second you flash twrp, the latest one. There's a version here and another on the official twrp website. You can find both very easily. To flash twrp, start you phone in download mode, connect it to PC and from CMD send the command "fastboot flash recovery yourtwrpfile.img"
From twrp you must do a full format of the storage to make sure you're decrypted.
After that you can flash any P ROM by following the steps provided on the ROMs thread.

You don't have to flash another ROM after twrp and you can still use miui, but make sure that you flash magisk so you don't lose twrp as Miui overwrites stock recovery.

Rooting chinese version with global rom.

Or at least link me a guide which worked for someone in the same situation as me.

I am also searching for a solution. My phone was chinese variant and flashed global rom and tried to flash twrp and it didn’t get flashed rather it got a bootloop. I fixed that by unrooting from twrp but now i Don't have any recovery, my system recovery also don’t work now

Dude, flash miui fastboot ROM like this (search on YT):
HOW TO FLASH MIUI via FASTBOOT - REDMI NOTE 8 PRO
tha channel name is Konah the Begonia Guardian
*chose your version like pggcnxm

buddy how do you know that you have Chinese version with global rom.
i have this device but not sure if it is global or not

I'm using cn and moved to global.
Here is what I have done:
- Unlock
- Flash fastboot global rom (Only A9 available)
- Update to latest
- Flash orangefox
- Use TWRP's guide to flash vbmeta to disable and avoid tripping AVB (see TWRP thread)
- Boot to system once
- Reboot to recovery
- ...
- Profit
The trickiest part is when flashing recovery. If you don't enter the recovery after entering "fastboot reboot" command, your recovery would likely be replaced. Hold vol+ when entering command.
Be carefull when updating. If you have not flashed a MIUI full rom on orangefox, you cannot do incremental update, so go with full rom once. Also I have bootloop once, and fortunately escaped. Here is my solution (need someone to test, since this is my daily driver)
- Vanillafy everything (uninstall magisk, restore stock boot.img, restore stock recovery)
- Update
- Customize everything
OR
- After flashing update, dont reboot to system. It will likely to trip AVB. Flash vbmeta once and try to reboot.
If you have tried second update method and succeeded, please do tell.
Hope this help.

From the packaging, if you have a red box, it's chinese. If white, it's global.
From rom version. If it says someting like "QGGMIXM", it's global. If it says "QCGMIXM" or something like that, it's chinese.

can you guide on how to install MIUI 12 global on RN8Pro global currently on MIUI 12 China Beta ROM
I'm not enrolled as Beta tester (i know the warning issued by Xiaomi)
tried directly installing via TWRP over MIUI 12 China
but after finished install, the internal memory got all erased and replaced with weird names of folders and wouldn't boot to the system, kept rebooting to TWRP

pretty simple bro, just return to miui 11 first because I fear you can brick, after that, just flash any twrp for a10 or a9 (depending of your android version) then wipe dalvik, cache, data.
**miui is problematic flashing in different versions, in my video I recommended donwgrade first

I have the same situation.
Mine was worst. I didn't know my phone was chinese with global rom, 'cause the chinese sold me 'global version', and sent it in white box, but it's the chinese version with global rom.
Well, I tried following a few tutorials, but all after fastboot twrp, close AVB, install ROOT and reboot, started bootlooping and I had to flash global rom again with mi flash. Can't get root access / magisk.
Did you solve that? Please, guide us.

You can, working flawlessly. But once go global, never lock your bootloader.

You can use below TWRP Thanks LR Team. (I tired Miui 12 with CH Device)
install TWRP in fastboot
Reboot TWRP after Advanced >File Manager > delete "system_root/system/recovery_fromboot.p"
Again Advanced > install root
Finish.

Again "Advanced > install root"
