Thanks for the info. I'll look into it after I'm done with this whole debacle and if I can get my M8 working again.
[One (M8) General] Firehawk989:
Just so others know what my experience was, I also ended up stuck on the HTC logo after trying to apply the update. At the time I was S-OFF and rooted but otherwise stock. I was also stupid and didn't back up my good install before updating, so in an attempt to get the phone working again I flashed TWRP and set my CID to 11111111 and tried flashing all sorts of stock backups that I found scattered around the forum. Not a single one would flash successfully. Then I relocked my bootloader and tried an RUU exe and it also failed multiple times, leaving my phone bricked on the failed RUU screen with 4 exclamation marks and unable to turn off even by holding vol + power up.

Fortunately for me, my M8 is less than a year old, so I dropped it off at Telus and told them what happened. They sent it in for repair and gave me a Nexus5 loaner. (Nice phone, but I like my M8 better!)

Anyway, I just got it back today (no charge) and they said they had to replace the main board for some reason, so it must've seriously been bricked. I thought they would just be able to run a fully legit RUU on it and it would be fine. Needless to say, I'll be backing that sucka up before I flash anything this time around.
[One (M8) General] Ronux25:
I actually managed to fix my issue. I'm pretty damn confused as to why this worked. I applied the uninstall package from xposed and rebooted my phone. I still had a white screen. I then applied the newest version of xposed (xposed-v71-sdk21-arm) and rebooted the device once again. On boot it went directly to the "updating android" screen where it seemed to upgrade and process all my apps. Once it went through about 350 of em the phone rebooted and went right into Android just fine. As far as I can tell the OTA update has been successfully applied. I would imagine that my issue had something to do with the fact that I was running an older version of xposed framework. If your using xposed as well I would try and make sure you're using the most recent version.
[One (M8) General] essteekay:
Interesting. Mind pointing me in the direction of the xposed uninstall package? Can you flash it using TWRP?
[One (M8) General] Ronux25:
You will find a download for it here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 You're looking for the package called xposed-uninstaller-arm.zip. You will find the newest version of xposed there as well. Both packages can be flashed through recovery including TWRP. Not super sure why it worked but my phone has been rock solid for over 24 hours now.
[One (M8) General] essteekay:
Thanks Ronux! Tried it out and unfortunately it didn't help my situation.

I ended up restoring a 4.4 Nandroid backup and was able to get past the white HTC screen. Just going through the rigamarole of getting my apps and backed up media and data back onto the device now.
[One (M8) General] Chinch:

Hi Everyone,

I have HTC M8 - Rogers

S- ON

HBOOT 3.19.0.0000

OS 4.20.631.3

Android 5.0.1

i got that OTA update (112 MB) so I decided to go and update

I flashed the (Rogers 4.20.631.2 Recovery) and I'm done with OTA successfully

when OTA is done, it just can't boot the OS, it starts the main HTC Logo and then just a black screen

I tried my best around and was able to unlock the bootloader and install the TWRP twrp-2.8.7.0-m8 (the latest on TWRP website)

but again, the issue is still there and I can't open the phone at all .. what I did wrong and how to get back to my phone at least without Factory Rest

Appreciate your help guys

thanks
[One (M8) General] flyera343:
Looks like that OTA needs an unrooted stock ROM. Find an unrooted nandroid backup to restore, flash stock recovery, take OTA, then root again and install custom recovery and ROM..

Hi guys thanks for the Canadian section. I just need a little pointing in the right direction here. I have a Rogers M8 a friend gave me that is sim locked. I want to use it with mobilicity. Is there a way to unlock it. I haven't been able to find a guide here. Maybe I'm missing something. Will changing the CID to SuperCID do the trick?
[One (M8) General] xSharexWithxMe:
Hi, sorry I don't have the correct link, but there is a way to SIM Unlock if you have a MicroSD card. There is a file that needs to be downloaded, and moved to the root of the MicroSD card ONLY, not on Device Storage.

The steps to this can be found online, I did this with my M8 and it SIM Unlock to all carriers. BUT, the only catch to this is you MUST be S-Off.

Follow this guide from another XDA Thread.

Hey guys. Please forgive the noob inquiry.

I have a new Telus M8. Running latest, 4.20.661.3 software. I had an HTC eons ago so some of the basics I have forgotten but doing my homework to catch up on it; firmwares, RUU, CIDs etc. I have a quick question about ARHD rom which I want to install now - - I already UL bootloader, got TWRP, and did a nandroid back up. I want for the moment to remain S-ON. What I am confused about is if I need to be on a 401 WWE release in order to flash ROMs based on it, or, can I go ahead and flash the latest version of ARHD45 on top of my existing telus install. Any help would be appreciated.

gs
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
You can go ahead and flash it. You just need to be on Lollipop GSM firmware, which you are. No need for S-Off.
[One (M8) General] gilnfld:
Thank you. Much appreciated. I am still reading and trying to decide between ARHD and Skydragon - - got both on my SD card ready to flash. Gonna do some more reading and have a flashing party over the weekend. What are your thoughts about these two ROMS?

I've been put off rooting my m8, however I've exhausted all the battery saving tips with no success. I'm on Rogers locked with S-on. I'd love to go back to the original Rogers Kit Kat 4.4.2 as that's when my phone worked the best! Can anybody suggest the easiest and safest way to do this taking into consideration that I'm a noob at all this, advance thanks ?
[One (M8) General] :
What are you on now? I don't think you can downgrade without being s-off. You may he able to flash a 4.4.2 custom rom, if you have a custom recovery. But you can't go back to official firmware.
[One (M8) General] mwake4goten:
I'm on 5.0.1 at the moment. More noob questions ? How do I gain s-off? And how do I gain a custom recovery? Thanks!
[One (M8) General] :
For a custom recovery, you first need to unlock your bootloader. Either with app mentioned below, or on the HTC dev website.

Then you can flash twrp and root. :good:

And for s-off, look up Sunshine app. Its the only current way to s-off, and costs $25.

Telus htc one m8 urgent

HELLO EVERYONE!

I unlocked my Telus variant of the M8, the CID is TELUS001. S-On

I am trying to unroot it, I flashed stock recovery and it was successful, then I had to remove SuperSU. I clicked permanent unroot, and it did something because the SuperSU app wouldn't open anymore, but it was there. So I restarted my device, and sure enough the root was back and SU was able to open again. So basically I need the stock RUU for my HTC One M8 on TELUS001, so I can fastboot flash it and have a normal rom again, just with the bootloader unlocked. I am really not sure what to do, because I don't want this root on. Please, help, thanks

Telus/Koodo M8 Marshmallow OTA?

I heard from MobileSyrup that the M8 is getting Marshmallow on Telus (and Koodo by proxy), but a quick check hasn't shown anyone who's actually received it yet (and people do seem to think it might not have come, expressing this as rudely as possible). Has anyone managed to grab this OTA yet, and if so, do they have a download for it they can share with those of us on those networks who don't want to wait for Telus' schedule?

As an aside, I tried to convert my phone to a Developer Edition using the firmware and ROM in the development thread, but the experience was fraught with problems (and I accidentally torched my /data/media folder, to boot, due to a bug in HTC's file manager), and I couldn't use HTC Sync Manager, Nandroid Manager, nor Titanium Backup (paid) to restore apps from my Nandroid backup, so I decided to revert until the OTA is coming. I don't know what exactly went wrong, so this is fair warning to anyone trying to perform a similar operation.

EDIT: I just got an update notification regarding three small 'Software Updates' ( that evidently prepare the phone for Marshmallow. I don't know if they installed correctly (I checked again in the updates screen which hid the 'Restart your phone' prompt, and when the phone restarted there were only two optimizations), and I didn't manage to write down the software numbers, or anything (one of them was 6.4 something, and the updates were very small, I think the biggest one was 1.4 MB). In any case, the full Marshmallow OTA hasn't come in yet, assuming I didn't accidentally lock myself out.

Still, this should be good news for an imminent release!

Rogers Marshmallow 6.0 OTA

I received Marshmallow on my Rogers M8 (ROGER001) yesterday, took more effort to find the OTA zip file this time around.

The past few OTAs have simply been in the Downloads folder of internal storage, this time I found it in root files under

/data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/app_fota.

Going from previous experience, it's possible that in other variations the OTA file could also be found under

/data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache if it's not in Downloads or app_fota.

Here's a download link to the full Rogers OTA zip:

[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
You also need the stock ROM, never rooted. Simply unrooting won't work.

Did you make a backup with TWRP before you flashed SuperSU?

If not, you can download a backup from here (thanks to [MENTION=830797]ckpv5[/MENTION]).

Reflash TWRP and make a backup to create a backup folder.

Extract the downloaded 4.20.631.3_ckpv5.zip on your PC.

Copy the 4.20.631.3 folder to TWRP backup directory, then use TWRP restore to install the stock backup.

Then reinstall the stock recovery, and run the OTA again.

Full instructions can be found in this thread.

[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
Your own nandroid backup ? When unlocking bootloader, you'll lose data app like calculator & flashlight.

Most important is you can't manually do OTA update on a S-On device.

Restore backup and stock recovery, no need to relock bootloader then check for OTA and let the system install for you.

Just wondering, does this device work on wind mobile and if so, where may I be able to purchase one that would work on the wind mobile AWS network? I think the TMobile one is the only one that works judging by the fact that its the only one that includes AWS in its specs.

The device is locked; but easily unlockable.

The device will work on WIND; FCC test results confirm this. As well, unlike M7, where WIND does not appear in the network scan list, M8, it does appear in the network scan list.

For those purchasing outright from Rogers Plus, and unhappy with the $699.99 price: I made a small stink about this $50 markup on their Facebook group today as it is clearly not advertised on Rogers.com, and one of their reps very quickly applied a $50 goodwill credit to my account.

I bought mine outright, no bloatware at all and no mention of Rogers. I was surprised about that, but it's a good sign .
