I personally am downloading now - just looking to extract the stock recovery and boot image for fastboot purposes. I'll let you know how things look later on - at work atm.

Thanks again!!

EDIT: There is a good boot.emmc.win in here. If I understand correctly you can use fastboot to flash even these. fastboot boot boot.emmc.win should do the job...fingers crossed

[MENTION=4478308]brar.arsh[/MENTION] I get that nothing is perfect...even people...but for brand new and $700 bucks it had better be damn close to it! Keep at both Rogers and HTC. If you go in person to Rogers and they start giving you the run around, take 2 steps back so you have to speak just a little louder a pray their store is busy. Good luck!

No way to get rid of it without flashing a modified bootloader. it's because you have a custom recovery installed. The bootloader i have is stock telus and has no red text, no tampered flag and says locked. Lol.

Yep, hence my delete - I typed it, hit Submit, and then went man that was retarded. I dumb out huge with new phones for the first couple of weeks while I acclimate myself to things. :)

You got me curious so I tried flashing the files at the beginning of this thread and they failed. I didn't try the recovery as I didn't want the stock recovery. The backup I did before flashing them restored fine though
[One (M8) General] LimitsX:
hey fellow Canadians!

I am interested in buying this phone! I am coming from GS4. I've read threads about data connectivity issues with this phone. It's the cellular network problems and WiFi problems. Anyone experience this, either one or both? Also, has any canadian htc one m8 experienced screen (LCD) peeling off at any place?

I am with WindMobile, so will probably get it from them. Please let me know anything else!

All help greatly appreciated, thank you!

Not sure how display can "peel" though...

Does anyone know if the Rogers OTA changed the HBOOT or Radio?
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
^ same question here, but with Telus!
[One (M8) General] brar.arsh:
No it didn't change the HBoot, it's still the same.
[One (M8) General] athris:
I think the ota update the radio with newer baseband to 1.16
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
does anyone happen to have the latest firmware for the telus version of the m8? has it even come out yet? LOL this is a bit confusing for me sorry.

EDIT; actually can anyone guide me on how to update the radio/firmware for the TELUS001 HTC One M8? its a bit confusing cause I'm not sure what firmware file to even use. Has Telus even pushed this update for the one?
[One (M8) General] 420SYN:
My radio is 1.14 so it must have. Thanks
[One (M8) General] athris:
Ya I think the new radio fix the LTE issue, I would recommended to take the ota update
[One (M8) General] 420SYN:
ok I'm on ARHD right now, I'm gonna see if I can find out how to get the radio out of the OTA instead of having to go back to stock.
[One (M8) General] athris:
I am currently using ic Rom, what I did is do a nandroid backup , return to stock, do ota then restore back
[One (M8) General] Maedhros:
If you manage to extract the radio, would you mind posting it here for others to flash as well?

[One (M8) General] WorldIRC:
Looking to update my firmware and radio to the latest compatible Canada version; currently running ARHD.

Has anyone posted it yet?
[One (M8) General] djmatt604:
Hey guys, I probably know the answer to this already and will suggest it now but my OCD is driving me to ask lol...

I have a nearly-stock Philz nandroid I took before changing Roms...only stuff I need to manually flash is recovery and kernel. With Telus. I have the stock recovery and the boot.emmc.win extracted from a Telus nandroid, but what I'm wondering is if any gsm stock kernel (say, Rogers) will be OK to allow OTA as long as I am on stock recovery with a relocked bootloader. Is my assumption accurate?

Of course could flash and find out but I won't be able to for a bit so hoping someone can validate that for me quickly...thanks for your help!

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

Who is your carrier?
[One (M8) General] WorldIRC:
Device was originally Rogers, but it's S-OFF running ARHD. I'm on Bell (so radio for either...or TELUS, would be fine).
[One (M8) General] djmatt604:
I think I read a few posts back or on the radio thread that someone is trying to extract the newest radio from the Bell OTA do it probably won't be much longer...
[One (M8) General] WorldIRC:
Cool; hopefully they get the firmware from it too!
[One (M8) General] 420SYN:
Just download the ota and extract the firmware.zip from it. I did that with the Rogers one. Then I unzipped it, deleted the recovery.img, rezipped it and flashed as per the op of the firmware thread. I'm soff so if you're not don't delete anything.
[One (M8) General] WorldIRC:
How? I'm on ARHD. Where can I download it from?

Sent from my HTC One M8
[One (M8) General] 420SYN:
If your with bell find the latest ota. I saw one somewhere. 1.56 or something. I used winrar to open it and extracted the firmware.zip . Follow the directions in the firmware thread to flash
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
K i just downloaded this... how would i flash this onto my TELUS001 so that i can go back to stock to get the update?
[One (M8) General] Blazeitup123:
Unzip and put the extracted folder in to your recovery backup folder on your internal storage. Then restore with full wipe.
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
another quick question, do you know if i would need to relock my bootloader or anything? or can i just flash this than search for software updates flash and than restore the current rom im on?
[One (M8) General] Blazeitup123:
A stock recovery and locked bootloader will do the trick.
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
and your file i dl'd was the stock recovery right? (please say yes, LOL)
[One (M8) General] royalchild:
Is it possible to overclock the processor 2.5 ghz?
[One (M8) General] djmatt604:
So just recovery and locked bootloader? No need for stock kernel too?
[One (M8) General] sjeffrey:
Someone correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you need to lock the bootloader.

I did the Telus OTA from last month and all I did was restore stock rom and stock recovery. I didn't relock the bootloader.
[One (M8) General] 09Ram:
No need to relock bootloader. Flash stock Nand and recovery. Make sure stock Nand has flashlight and calculator, some nands may be missing these two preload apps due to data wipe.
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
Okay so i just restored the file i downloaded and currently in the process of downloading 1.55.661.4 OTA from telus so hopefully this works!.. quick question. since i restored the file does that mean i lost the TWRP recovery and that i will need to install recovery again?

EDIT: damnit never mind, i still have TWRP.. but i need stock recovery.. can anyone lead me into the direction of getting stock recovery? TELUS001

OTA_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_SECURITY_TELUS_WWE_1.55.661.4-1.12.661.17_R1_release_366550cuvn9usnkhkwxhc6 thats the file but for some reason i cant copy it onto desktop. anyone? LOL
[One (M8) General] 09Ram:
You can't copy because it can't be installed without stock recovery. And system knows that. You will be able to copy only when you have the stock recovery in place, and you should copy before installing so you will have the stock firmware zip.

If you can't find your recovery online PM me. I will send it to you when I get home.
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
alright thank you!, ill PM you later gotta go grocery shopping with the mom UGHHH... :crying:
[One (M8) General] instigator008:
You can also extract the stock recovery from the ota. You'll need to do it on a desktop/laptop though.
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
how would you do that? cause i wasn't able to copy the file out of the internal SD card when i was on stock rom
[One (M8) General] sjeffrey:
When you download it I think it then asks if you want to go and install it. Say no or later or what ever. Plug the phone in USB on a desktop. Open the file with something like 7zip. Then I think it has a firmware.zip inside, open that and you should find a recovery.img.

I'm going from memory but it should be close enough to help.
[One (M8) General] instigator008:
This is correct.
[One (M8) General] GottaStayFly:
k so once i take that recovery.img out and flash it via fastboot though adb, can i just reboot and just left the software updates do its OTA thingy? or would i need to do the stuff that is said in mike's thread?

EDIT; nevermind, just installed OTA and made sure i kept the files for the recovery.img and the stock backup incase i need to reupdate OTA Thanks to everyone that chimed in and helped ! :laugh::victory:

I have an unlocked edition HTC M8 with a GPE ROM running.

I would like to find the latest Rogers radio to flash to see if I can get better reception.

Where would I find it? Can I flash the radio even if I'm running a GPE ROM and my phone is not a Rogers M8?
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
I think the radio is the same as the ATT&T as well as any other canadian carrier

Also just to check, don't rely on the bars. It doesn't accurately show signal strength. If you look under about phone, system information, you can find the actual strength in dB, the more negative the better.

Developer Edition

I'm on Fido and don't believe I can pre-order mine from Rogers. I'm thinking of buying the Developer Edition - which I've read is basically the AT&T version minus the bloatware but the specs aren't 100% clear (source). I'm concerned about the LTE bands as it seems like there's a lot of different information out there.

Rogers LTE bands for the M8 are listed as:

LTE Bands:2100/2600.

HTC Dev doesn't name them but Amazon does (on the page for the Dev edition):

4G LTE (1900 MHz) with availability in limited markets; 3G (800/1900 CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A frequencies)

AT&T LTE bands for the M8 are listed as:

4G-LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 7 and 17

4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul

3G - UMTS 850/900/1900/2100MHz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz

Help. I want to use my phone on the Fido LTE Network... I have the order cued up on HTC Dev but haven't clicked submit.
[One (M8) General] Bigal77:
I called...it's all good

As long as I pay early upgrade

Woohoo
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
It SHOULD be the same.

AT&T and rogers (hence fido) tend to have the same networks. wiki has AT&T listed as the same frequencies.

Also worth noting to order it you have to have a postage forwarding service or a friend to send it to. They won't send it to canada,
[One (M8) General] collin128:
Thanks Bob. I have a shipping place in Point Roberts (30 minute drive away) that will accept it for me.

FYI - http://tsbshipping.com/
[One (M8) General] sjeffrey:
If you S-OFF then you can flash any of the images/radio except the CDMA ones. Probably best you stick to one of the Canadian ones or AT&T.

If you are S-ON then you'll only be able to flash the GPE image updates which I think people with GPE are still waiting on.

Htc one m8 easy unlock (by code) Video

Hi, just my two cents worth. I got an M8 from the "Source", the day they came out, just bought it outright, no contract, nothing, the salesman did not know that he could not sell the phone without a contract. He found that out the next day, but then, it was too late. This is a phone from Bell Canada, and I have a month to month plan with them. I tried to get the phone "carrier unlocked" but it seems the phone was too new and the online outfit selling the service could not get the unlock codes, they reimbursed my Paypal account and told me to call back in two weeks.

I managed to unlock the phone using the HTCdev method, then installed the TWRP recovery, and SuperUser, it took me almost two days, I was having a lot of problems with ADB on my Mac PowerBook not connecting with the phone, I was getting "device offline" messages, even after getting the latest ADB. I finally made it work using a PC running Win 8. Then I got S-Off done using "Firewater", and removed the "tempered" banner. Did quite a lot of reading in the process, stayed very late at night, but just making it work made it worthwhile.

Now I have a question, do any of you know how how to use a different launcher but still keep BlinkFeed?

Thanks

Fizou[/QUOTE]

For all other who don't want to go trough the process of rooting to unlock it, I found a video tutorial of how to unlock it by code within a few minutes. I used the site in the video to get the code and it worked like a charm!

I have a question for anyone running ARHD 8.1/9.1 and on Rogers. SuperCID

I was using 8.1 with the 1.54.401.10 firmware, when i decided to flash 2.12.401.3 firmware and 9.1. i wasn't quite as happy with 9.1 so i flashed my nandroid backup of 8.1 keeping the 2.12.401.3 firmware.

Since i reverted I no longer have the H beside my signal bars. It shows 4G instead and then goes to LTE. Any way of getting the H back? I dont like the 4G icon..

Now i ask this here because the american guys will tell me that 4G and LTE are the same. But in canada 4G is not the same as LTE.

Im pretty sure you can change them back to whatever you want with xposed
