Got update notification on Rogers htc one m8 (rooted, S-off). downloaded but while updating struck at around 20 % and appears red triangle mark & after sometime reboots and shows the old software version which is 2.23.631.2. Please help as to why it is so and what is the workaround for the same. Thanks
[One (M8) General] :
Do you have a custom recovery still, and maybe xposed or other system changes? System apps missing or whatnot?

You need stock rom, stock recovery and all system apps in place.
[One (M8) General] 420SYN:
If you flashed a modified hboot to get rid of the red writing at boot the update will fail. Modified kernel too I think
[One (M8) General] pks4510:
Thanks It is stock rom & recovery with no modifications .Xposed has never been installed. What could be the other reason ? Regards

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

So your bootloader is locked? This happened on a friends device. I had to install twrp, restore a clean stock twrp backup, reflash the firmware that I was currently on, then install the ota. But that was a last resort because I couldn't figure out what stopped it it. I then proceeded to root which involves a modified boot.img. so I'm thinking of you find the boot.img out of the firmware.zip for 4.4.3 and flash it you will solve your issue

[One (M8) General] :
I'm still green with the M8 a little.... But I think you either need the Ota... Which isn't out yet I don't think, or you need S-OFF and super CID to flash 4.4.4 firmware. That's what I did.

Without s-off, I think you'll need to wait.

Yes, I said think a lot. I'm s-off... So I'm not to familiar with s-on methods for doing things. ?

So I flashed the the rogers firmware 4.4.4 using the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" and I am stuck on boot with the htc logo and white background. I just want to do stock upgrade to 4.4.4. I have s off and unlock.
[One (M8) General] pks4510:
Sir,

The bootloader is unlocked & S-off via sunshine . Any help to upgrade is appreciable. Thanks
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
I'm just curious. You are s-off. Why do you care about stock firmware?
[One (M8) General] ameenshake:
I do not need the extra features offered by most custom roms. I just installed ViperRom and its bloated with customizing features. It was just begging me to customize it so I made it look as close to stock as possible before changing the rom completely. I am currently trying SkyDragon GPE and i gotta say it looks neat.

Also, I have a replacement plan with Best Buy and in case something goes wrong, I want the phone to be looking as close to stock as possible (even though its tampered on the inside :p)
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
I don't think you understand. The firmware isn't "custom", and has nothing to do with custom ROMs.

Why are you s-off then? Do you understand what s-off is?

You do realize that ROMs and firmware are two totally separate things, right?
[One (M8) General] ameenshake:
You see, I didn't really know what custom firmware really meant until earlier today. I thought that guide would easily let me upgrade from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. To be honest, I am still not sure what a firmware is and its different from the OS. As for S-Off, I got that because I though it was required to make an OTA upgrade when you and rooted with custom recovery.

Moral of the story, I should start reading instruction and stickies.
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
At least you are learning.

S-off opens your phone up to so much more!

This thread shows a super easy way to update your firmware with simple instructions. It will also tell you how to go Super CID. Do the Super CID first, download the latest firmware (first link just did it myself), flash it, and then you'll be able to run the 4.4.4 ROMs.
[One (M8) General] caanda45:
Ahhh young padawan ameenshake , S-off is just the start to wonderful things that you can do to your phone.....check out some customs roms such as Viper, Android Revolution, Miui and Insert Coin to name a very few.....Check this link for some nice roms...http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development

Hey guys ,

I'll start off by saying that i am new to modding ( on htc anyways) and im french so please don t judge my lack of knowledge and english ;) . I bought a rooted M8 . Couldnt do update so decide to unroot it. I flashed telus stock firmware dump via twrp ( 3.34.661.4) and wifi is not working . Beside that everything s fine . Im S-ON by the way. Every bit of help would be appreciated . Thx and may the force be with you .
[One (M8) General] 420SYN:
You have the wrong firmware installed. That is the latest backup for 4.4.4 so you now need to flash the firmware.zip from the 3.34.661.4 OTA.

See the flashing firmware without panic attacks thread to flash.

You will need to reflash twrp after as flashing firmware will put stock recovery.

[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Xposed you mean? That is your problem. You uninstalled it without using it to uninstall the modules first.

Get it again and use it to uninstall the modules, then uninstall Xposed, and you should be good to go for the OTA.
[One (M8) General] dreckis604:

[One (M8) General] dreckis604:
I'm pretty sure its modified as in removal of lots of stuff etc. What are my options !???
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
You are still rooted right?

Flash a ROM. Try flashing this, and see if after you go back to stock after, you can get the OTA. I'm not 100% sure it will work (I'm s off, OTAs don't matter to me.) but I think it probably will. That's a way I get rid of system mods like the HK audio one, plus also themes.

Or you could go s off and always have the newest firmware way before your carrier has it. I've been on 4.4.4 for over a month now. ;) Telus is my carrier.

EDIT: I forgot to link, sorry. Here.

Find a TWRP backup of the stock rom you are currently on, flash that, then the firmware.zip for the rom you are currently on and update will work.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

No super cid and soff don't matter. I couldn't figure out why my friend's wouldn't take the OTA after only rooting. stock TWRP backup should fix it but if it doesn't flash the firmware.
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Yes. Your CID and MID must match or it won't install. But the whole point of being SuperCID is so you don't need to wait for your carrier to update.

Go to this thread and download/flash the firmware. It is a very comprehensive guide. Then flash a 4.4.4 ROM.

With SuperCID, you never have to wait.

Nope, it's the WWE file specifically for CID: TELUS001, so it should work for you if you are still S-ON. I pulled it from my own phone when I got the OTA :) The wifi should be fixed after you manually install the Update, since it will update your firmware at the same time.

I'm on Stock Rogers 4.4.3, rooted with S-On and TWRP recovery. What steps do I need to take to get to update to 4.4.4? The phone keeps nagging me to update to 4.4.4 but it fails because I'm not on stock recovery (I think).
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
You need to ensure that all the stock apps are installed in the right directory (sound hound, flashlight, etc...). There was another thread with downloads and instructions. You also need to download and flash a stock recovery, then you should be able to receive the OTA.

Easier solution if you can find an RUU for your CID then just flash that (be it an older verison) and then update. This will wipe all your data, but ensures you can get the OTA.
[One (M8) General] djHandy:
Thanks for the help guys! I flashed stock recovery, and it immediately allowed me to upgrade. Reflashed TWRP and SuperSU and was right back to root.

Unfortunately it also pulled down all the Rogers bloat ware (urgh!) which I managed to keep off my phone when I initially got it, but it's all easily hidden with Xposed (or disabled).

I can't find it mentioned on this thread when I searched, I'm wondering what use do the files listed on the HTCdev centre have? Are they OTA or RUU files?

Unfortunately I'm under 10 posts so I cannot provide a direct link, but if you google "HTC One M8 RUU", the first result is an htcdev.com page where you can sort by carrier and model.

The file types are simply listed as Type "MR2" or "CRC", there are some for Telus, Rogers, Bell, and even Globalive (don't know if it works for WIND though which is what I'm looking for).

Could someone with more knowledge shine some light on this and what use they may have? Could they be used for going back to stock?
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
MR2 and CRC are not RUU, they list the RUU files as an RUU. If you wist to return to stock your best bet is to find a backup for the ROM, then flash the stock recovery. There are guides all over this website, but I don't know of any RUU for Canadian carriers.
[One (M8) General] pacificnw:
Gotcha, out of curiosity do you know what the MR2 and CRC files are used for? I was just wondering if it was another option, I did use the stock backup and recovery on the other Canadian thread to return to stock. Thanks!
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
I do not, I've never used them. Maybe an actual dev would be able to weigh in?
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
It's source codes for Kernel etc. Not much use in general(To someone that perhaps didn't know that much).

It'll be an RUU if it specifically says "RUU". Most of the downloads on that site is source code for developers i.e Kernels etc and unless specifically stated to be something else like an "RUU" it'll practically be all that you'll get on that site.

Lucked out there, I think it's only the US variants that have RUU's for their devIces i.e T-Mobile, Developer edition etc. I saw a signed RUU(.zip) going around for European International version but I've never seen any for branded devices outside of the US.

Use adb and fastboot commands to flash recoveries.

There are several guides that talk about how to return to stock.
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
You are S-Off? Go super CID, then flash 4.4.4 firmware. No need for OTAs.

Do this:

Have adb and fastboot set up. There are guides all over xda and google

Connect phone to PC and open terminal

Type "adb devices" to make sure phone is connected to PC

Type "adb reboot bootloader"

Once in fastboot type "fastboot devices" to make sure fastboot sees your device

Type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

Once in black screen that says HTC you are in ruu mode

Type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (has to be 8 one's)

After a successful cid overwrite type "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

You are now super CID.

After that, download this.

Using a file explorer, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero not the letter). Then place it to the root of your extSD.

Turn your phone off, then boot into fastboot by holding down the power button + vol down.

Using the volume button, navigate to hboot and choose it with the power button. (It should be at the top, so you shouldn't need to navigate to it)

Let your phone do its thing.

Reboot.

Profit! You have 4.4.4 firmware!!

After you update, be sure to delete the firmware file from your extSD, or else every time you go to hboot, it'll try to update again.
