Idiot walkthrough

Alright, so to preface this I'm on Lollipop 5.0.1, and I have TWRP, and S-on. Could anyone guide me through the steps to get to marshmallow and get twrp off so I can do OTA updates in the future? I'm not full android idiot, but pretty close.
[One (M8) General] shaboobla:
What phone model do you have first of all? Basically, you need to download the stock ROM and Recovery for your specific device, and then put the phone back to completely stock. Once that happens, you will be able to get OTAs.

The stock backup thread is located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

I would suggest reading within the general forum for how to go about putting everything back. There are numerous guides.

I hope this helps :)

Any chance that there's someone in here with a nandroid backup of their stock Sasktel M8? I converted to GPe a while ago, but want to go back.

HTC is telling me that Sasktel should be able to provide me with original firmware and rom. Sasktel is telling me that HTC should be able to give it to me. The HTC USA Support site lets you download carrier specific software, but the Canadian side does not have that. The closest I've got is the source kernal file from HTCDEV.com. I opened a ticket with HTC support so that in 10-12 days I might get a response from their developers with what I need, but just checking to see if anyone here might be able to help out.

Hey guys, just restored my M8 back to stock from GPe, according too this http://communityforums.rogers.com/html/assets/OSUpgrade.html

Rogers has releases 6.0 marshmallow... Yet all I am getting is my phone has no updates? I've done the clear data/cache framework, reboot trick, no avail. Did Rogers recently yank the OTA?

CID/MID all match Rogers, S-OFF, went back to stock flashing twrp backup, even performed factory reset after flashing, stock recovery, bootloader relocked.

[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Yes. Root your phone. You'll need to. If it is non-rooted stock GPE, the system partitions are different sizes for one thing from regular GSM (Telus M8 ~ yours and mine also), and you can't change your MID and CID without root to run the RUU to convert.

Ok guys so I just unlocked and rooted my phone. I had a few questions on firmwares. So I currently have 4.20.661.3 android 5.0 through koodo. I want to install one of the 6.0 roms such as viper or the GPE of skydragon or cm13. Do i need to wait for telus to update to 6.0 and grab the new firmware or can I flash one of the above roms with no problems? And if I don't want to wait can I use sunshine s-off my device flash the international gsm firmware 6.xx.xxx.x and then flash any 6.0 rom?
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Link me to what you want to flash. Non rooted stock GPE? You'll need S-Off.

There are ROMs available though, that will work with Sense firmware, but give you a GPE experience.
[One (M8) General] Firehawk989:
Telus says Feb 4th for the MM update now. Hopefully this time it's actually true.
[One (M8) General] caspik:
You know that they can find something else to reschedule the update.
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Just gain S-Off, and flash the latest WWE/International or Dev Ed firmware.

I have never taken an update from Telus ever! on any device, unless it was a brand new phone with an update already available. And I only did that once. lol
[One (M8) General] Firehawk989:
Yea I know, and I will go that route eventually. I just usually leave my phones stock until they don't get updates anymore or the update turns the phone into something I don't like. At that point it's SOFF and custom ROM time.
[One (M8) General] elmspace:
Hello, I have a silly question. I have the TELUS001, with TWRP recovery, the unrooted backup of my 5.0.1 stock rom (this was before flashing superSU), if I want to get OTA, I would need to flash the stock recovery and lock the bootloader, correct? Would I be flashing the stock recovery you have posted? (stock+recovery+4.20.661.2+recovery.img), that is the Telus one? Thanks for your time.
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Yes. Restore your stock backup, then flash the stock recovery. That is correct.
[One (M8) General] elmspace:
Hey, thanks for your help. So I did exactly that. I flashed the stock recovery, got few errors (but things seemed to boot and work), then re-locked the bootloader, as it was suggested in few forums to get OTA. Now I am back to "stock", although the bootloader says software status: "Modified" and bootloader "re-locked", also in the device information, it says, HTC SDK API level "Unknown", I did some research and some people say this does not matter for OTA updates and some say it does. My question:

1- Can I still get OTA given the above description?

2- Can unlock my bootloader again (I unlocked it using HTCdev the first time around)?

3- Can I go back to custom recovers as I did before (such as TWRP)?

Again, thank you very much for your help and time :)
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
1: yes

2: yes, unlock it with the same code if you have it, or go back to htcdev.com

3: You betcha

Hi, I have a problem and I was wondering if you could give me some info.

I tried to unlock my bootloader, after it was relocked. I did that using the htcdev method. And it says unlocked now. So I wanted to flash TWRP recovery, but when ever I try to flash a recovery I get the following error:

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

I dont know why this is. Can you give me some info.

I have the TELUS M8 and I flashed a stock recover img that was posted in this forum for a Telus M8.

*****EDIT*****

NVM, spoke too soon, so the problem was that I was using the old Unlock_code.bin file. Even though it would take me through the same process and show the status "Unlocked", it wasn't actually unlocked. So I got the token again, by ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token and submitted to htc dev website and they sent me another unlock.bin file. I repeated the process and now the recovery flashes properly. Sorry for the earlier post. This might help someone else!
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Thanks for the edit. I was under the assumption that using the old unlock code would work (read it here somewhere never tried it myself ~ s-off ftw). In the future I will use this information to help others wishing to go back to stock to update.
[One (M8) General] Ronux25:
Would really appreciate that backup. For some reason I am completely unable to flash the OTA with stock recovery from the update. First OTA that has failed on me like this.

[One (M8) General] Sean09:
Thank you. If I had previously converted to GPE fully and want to come back, is the below the quickest/best guide to do so and get OTA updates going forward?

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
If you are converted to GPE, you need to RUU back to sense to resize your partitions.

When you convert to GPE, the system partition is made smaller. Too small for Sense ROMs. Thing is, I don't know of any Telus RUUs.

So, your best option would be to use the WWE/International (the unlocked version of M8), or Developers Edition RUUs. Dev Ed would probably be best for you if you want speedy updates. They update soon after GPE, with WWE/Int usually following next. Then carriers typically lag behind a bit.

BUT, since you are S-Off (you needed to be to convert), you'll never need to worry about OTAs if you don't want to. The newest firmware is usually leaked before release, and you can update manually easily with a firmware package that you can flash in fastboot.
[One (M8) General] Sean09:
Thank you. So this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2721435

Would be the guide to follow to convert to a developer edition? I would need to change the CID and MID (as outlined here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708581) ?

Thanks for the prompt reply.
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
I would recommend going to this thread for instructions and downloads to return to Sense. For the CID, just use SuperCID. Instructions for that are also in the link. I'm don't think you'll have to worry about the MID. Did you change that first when you did the conversion?

Just follow the steps, and in step #16 where it says to run an RUU.exe, use the official Dev Ed RUU from HTC's US website.

(It's at the end of the Manual System Update Instructions ~ might as well read those too)
[One (M8) General] danial.aw:
The easiest way to reinstall a sense rom is to flash the sense firmware... Install twrp and format data (not factory reset, you need format data) that will fix the partition size and then just install the rom.

Also just change the MID after to match whatever you want to

This link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32780 Does not have carrier 666 which is Bell Canada. Does anyone have the most recent update, or know which folder I should choose a firmware from?

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
No, that's you ROM base, not your firmware. Your firmware version is 3.34.666.4 as seen under "version-main" in your getvar.

Go to this thread for a stock nandroid backup and stock recovery so that you can update via OTA. Instructions on how to use them are there as well. Look for the backup and recovery that match your firmware version.
[One (M8) General] vik123:
Sorry if this has been asked a lot but I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I am interested in the Google Play Edition of this phone. If I buy an official GPE version, is it just a regular M8 with the vanilla Android ROM?

If I take a regular M8 and flash it to GPE using the instructions here, is it the exact same thing as buying a factory GPE version?

Are there any limitations going the flashing route? Any functions that don't work, issues getting updates, or any issues in general?
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Yes, M8 GPE is the same except for the OS. Vanilla Android vs Sense.

Yes you can convert and it would be the same as buying a GPE device.

No limitations going the flashing route (I think ~ not sure what you mean)

Everything will work like you bought a GPE device, as said in my second answer.

Get S-Off. Change your CID and MID to GPE's. Run the GPE RUU. Done.

BUT

if you root it after this, you won't get OTAs. OTAs only happen on stock devices with the stock recovery.

I wouldn't worry about that though. Once you convert, updating manually is a breeze.
[One (M8) General] vik123:
Thanks for the quick response xunholyx.

When I was asking about limitations with the flashed version, I am asking if there is anything missing (i.e. maybe some function doesn't work as well, or there is a problem getting OTA updates) or would it be the exact same.

You answered my questions though, thanks again.

Hey there,

I'm actually in the same situation. I believe he was talking about this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708589

I haven't tried it yet, and I'd like to stay away from S-OFF as much as possible. So here are my concerns:

* Different base firmware (5.07.1700.10) vs Koodo/Telus TELUS_WWE_6.13.661.9

* Partition sizes (but sense's ones are bigger, so this shouldn't be an issue? )

* CID/MID compatibility with the rom (since SuperCID needs S-OFF IIUC)

* Anything else :) ?

I'm not familiar enough with HTC phones (coming from a nexus 4) to try flashing the ROM without further info yet, so any input will be greatly appreciated, I don't wanna brick my one-month-old M8 ;)

Hello HTC users

I have a questions about my daughters HTC One M8. I bought it from Telus but the family is on Koodo. They were nice enough to give us the unlock code when we purchased it and we have been on koodo. Anyway i would like to update her phone to Marshmallow but I am not sure about the best way to do this. Does it matter what carrier I am with? I see a lot of references to Rogers and Telus. I don't want to screw something up. Is there are way to install the Marshmallow without wiping the phone?

I have a nexus 5 that I have played with and flashed a few roms on. I know enough to get myself into trouble and have always been lucky enough to get myself out (after spending hours on the forums). I am comfortable with moding the nexus as it is not tied to a carrier. Just worried about making a mistake on my daughter's phone. What do you guys think?
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
Just OTA to the next. I don't understand

.
[One (M8) General] bono519:
Hello and thanks for your reply. OTA would be great but the phone says "no updates available" or some wording to that effect. I just assumed that the Marshmallow update was not going to come over the air. I will check here phone again today. I could be doing something wrong. Thanks again.
[One (M8) General] smeogle:
Koodo is owned by Telus. I am pretty sure, and I will be corrected if I am wrong, but you do not have to unlock your phone to work with either. They use the same bands :p. When I switched from Rogers to Fido, I did not have to unlock it.

The over the air update is coming from Koodo unfortunately, which I think comes from Telus. So when they have an update ready, the Koodo one should be available shortly. If not, you could probably flash the newest Telus / Koodo OTA if you are impatient. If it still doesn't update in a week or so, call Customer Support and raise a bit of hell!
[One (M8) General] bono519:
Thanks for the good advice, I will give it some time and then call Koodo.

Having issues with my m8 since yesterday evening.

The screen goes nuts when I touch it, usually when I longpress it, like it's super sensitive or something. Makes typing this really annoying.

I dropped it in the bus yesterday afternoon, but with the otterbox case I have it in, I thought it was fine as there is no visible damage anywhere. I removed the hard screen protector thinking it was the problem after I had already reset the phone back to factory (stock marshmallow, updated from koodo before moving to wind mobile) thinking it was a bad app or something causing this...

Is there a way to turn down the sensitivity or recalibrate it?

Edit: it seems to have stopped after a few reboots...

Weird.

Edit 2:. It only does this now when the phone is plugged in.
