HTC One M8 Rogers

I don't know about Telus or Bell but Rogers have no choice but to sell you the device outright if you want to buy it that way. I was once in a Rogers store and the manager refused to sell me the device outright. He wanted to save the device for someone upgrading. I immediately called the Rogers line directly, spoke with someone [MENTION=688535]rogers[/MENTION] who said they had no choice. I handed the phone over to the Rogers manager and he was told to sell me the device. Done deal !!. You have to make sure it's a Rogers Dealer and not a 3rd party Rogers store. Hope that helps.
[One (M8) General] htc fan89:
Yeh it was a second one...now I don't have enough funds and my other cc gets decline... Sad day
[One (M8) General] ponts:
Yes. My brother just gave them a call to confirm the order and they said it was processing and that they saw no reason to cancel the order and they have lots in stock. I would suggest those that have ordered with Telus to call in to confirm to avoid disappointment.

Sorry to hear that! Not surprised though as I'm having the same issues too.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Was that recent? I would of ordered from Rogers had I known that. I was forced to choose month to month but did not want the hassel of cancelation and extra $$.
[One (M8) General] bobruels44:
Stores hate selling phones out because they don't make a single dime.

Also I called tellus and they confirmed my order. Should receive it 3-5 Buisness days.
[One (M8) General] WorldIRC:
In and out quickly. The M8 doesn't even appear in the Rogers Sales Central system for upgrades yet so no idea how they'll process. In any event, my outright purchase (I have a line with them) was quick and easy.

Be aware, Rogers tacks a $50 "up-charge" on outright purchase for upgrade vs. the advertised Month to Month price (which is only for new activations). I'm in the process of contesting with Rogers and hoping they'll approve a $50 bill credit to offset.
[One (M8) General] htc fan89:
made a reservation with rogers i'm number 3...lets hope this works
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
Hmm I wonder how there going to do it for me? I called into Rogers and they said they will do the upgrade on my account at the store. Hopefully nothing goes hay wire I dont got cash to buy it outright :p
[One (M8) General] WorldIRC:
They could probably call it in...or perhaps it'll be corrected for tomorrow.
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
Haven't even got my shipping email yet but I think it may be coming tonight, it has been "In Progress" since yesterday :p They better not mess this up or there going to have a verrryy angryyy customer.

HTC One M8 Rogers

Yes it was recently with the Sony Xperia Z1. They'll try and sell you the month to month which is 649.00 for the M8. They tack on an additional $50.00 when you buy outright which total $699.00 before taxes. Pretty price but worth the purchase at least from what I've seen so far playing with it.
[One (M8) General] xReaper7x:
Keep a lookout on your email Rogers people. I just got a notification that my beautiful device was shipped! :D Excited to get it, hopefully it will get there tomorrow!

HTC One M8 Rogers

I got my M8 today at the Rogers location. I also ordered another m8 under my wife's phone number just in case. Turns out that device was shipped and scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Now I will have two m8's. Let me know if anybody is close to the Ottawa area and I'll go with you to the Rogers store and you can buy it outright or upgrade. Just a thought for those having problems getting their hands on an m8.
[One (M8) General] flexfulton:
You aren't on a new enough stock recovery. I had the same issue. Upped to 4.4.4 Rom last year and was trying to upgrade to 5.0.1 using a stock recovery that was from 4.4.3. You can use a recovery from either 4.4.4 or 5.0.1. Flash that and run your OTA and you will be good. Look back a page or two. Someone posted the Rogers firmware for 5.0.1. Download that and unrar the recovery.img and flash that over.

Sorry I can go into more detail. I'm just heading out the door.
[One (M8) General] shaboobla:
Hey, I was having an issue applying mine as well. I'd suggest downloading a stock backup for that rogers device and then update from that. My device would say that there was an unexpected difference in a certain file. I had to flash back a completely stock backup and upgrade from that in order to get it to work.

I hope that helps.

[One (M8) General] house677:
Hey everyone,

I recently got the Bell OTA, and to make it simple, I don't like it. I'd much rather be running the previous update.

Is there a way I can do this without being rooted? I found an OTA from November, is it safe to install that without root? If so, does anyone have the Bell OTA released previous to the lollipop one?

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] :
The only way you can downgrade with s-on would be flashing a Kk rom, or restoring a KK nandroid. Both of which require a custom recovery. Those 2 options will downgrade your OS, but not the firmware.

You can't downgrade the firmware or use a RUU to downgrade with s-on.

With S-off you could downgrade firmware, or use a RUU to downgrade also.

?
[One (M8) General] flexfulton:
I've never had to relock my bootloader to take an OTA update with S-ON.

Just stock recovery.
[One (M8) General] ikeny:
Post deleted. Nevermind.
[One (M8) General] adotkdotjh:
When you say firmware version, are you referring to the actual firmware (drivers for wifi, etc that's in the firmware.zip) or the Android os version? If the nand backup I made prior to lollipop update will only downgrade the os, then I assume I could still download the ota file again, pull the file, and restore lollipop nand backup to come back to current state (the firmwares would remain lollipop version throughout). Of courses, this is assuming that the wifi driver in lollipop firmware will work with previous version of Android.

What do you think?

[One (M8) General] Deathsting_50cal:
Need a little help...

Alright... Here we go.. So i have an unlocked, rooted s-on m8 running twrp recovery and a custom rom.

I've been flashing roms left and right no problems and the phone works 100%. Here is my problem. I restored a stock nandroid backup for my phone and the stock recovery to be able to get the OTA update to Lollipop to update my firmware. (Thread about this located in xda) Whenever i try to run the OTA it fails in the recovery and the phone reboots. Now if i go into the stock recovery and try to access any part of my phone (ex: Apply from sdcard), i get a check CID failed and the phone reboots. (My CID is ROGER001 ).

I tried different nandroid backups and different stock recoveries with no success.

On a second note, i've been trying to use sunshine to get s-off to update my firmware as option 1 doesn't seem to be working, My phone is Def rooted and have tested it multiple times. No matter what ROM i use, sunshine always comes back saying it can't get root. I'm at the point of throwing my phone in the river and getting a replacement (through warranty)...

Anyone was able to do this successfully?

Please let me know

Cheers
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:
A lot of users have reported success gaining S-Off using the Maximus HD ROM. Have you tried flashing a version of this ROM that matches the firmware you are running now? You should be able to gain S-Off using this method.

[One (M8) General] pacificnw:
Correct, I got my M8 with Wind and I'm still with them. I wiped my phone without making a backup, and once I couldn't find any WIND ROMs I installed the Rogers ROM. I'll PM you with details, being S-Off is a huge help.

[One (M8) General] :
As far as I know, the absolute only reason to relock the bootloader for s-on devices, is to flash a RUU.

But for an ota, no need to relock. ☺
[One (M8) General] LNJ:
You don't need to re-lock the bootloader to flash a RUU. You don't have to do it for anything period. Just leave it unlocked.
[One (M8) General] xunholyx:

[One (M8) General] :
Maybe at [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] can correct me, but you need to flash a RUU to convert back from a GPE conversion, to fix the partition sizes. So if you only flashed a nandroid.... You haven't fixed your partitions yet.

[One (M8) General] ammarr:
Been reading for a while but still not clear on what is the best way to do what I want. I have the bell version of the phone (4.4.2 - 1.12.666.17).

Can I just root the phone without unlocking bootloader and voiding warranty? It seems like I can S-OFF using sunshine, and that will allow me to root, without having to go through htc dev and unlocking the bootloader.

Is there a way to unlock the bootloader without going through htc dev? Again, it seems like it can be done using sunshine.

What options are there for rooting/unlocking BL without voiding warranty? and what options are there if I go through htc dev? And what are people's experiences with getting warranty service after unlocking their bootloader through htc dev?

Sorry about all the questions.. this is an incredibly confusing phone. Have used a bunch of android phones, but haven't wrapped my head around the M8 yet...
[One (M8) General] :
Whether you use Sunshine or HTC Dev, the process is the same.

Unlock bootloader. Flash custom recovery. Root. Done.

The only difference is with Sunshine, you get s-off of course, and HTC won't know you unlocked your bootloader.

That's about it.... Simply put. ?

(I don't believe you can root without unlocking bootloader.... But I could be wrong. But it wouldn't be full root anyway. And no custom roms)
[One (M8) General] SaHiLzZ:
I didn't know that Sunshine unlocks bootloader by itself. Thats pretty cool, if it does that!

[One (M8) General] PharaohsVizier:
I bought the HTC One M8 the other day that was locked to Bell. I was planning to let my brother who in on Rogers use it so I had it unlocked. Everything looked good until we realized it wasn't getting any mobile data, no LTE, HSPA, etc. I was wondering if anyone knows what the issue is? I figured it might be the APN settings, but apparently 4.4.3 and onwards doesn't have the option to change APN? Because it won't be mine, I was hoping I wouldn't need to do a whole custom rom to get it working. Anyone have an idea?

EDIT: So, I must have been blind since I was doing this past midnight. The option to set APN is right there under data settings Access Points... So I'm all good, thanks for the help.

So far so good with this, I am impressed.

You're obviously S-Off since you converted to GPE. And you should be superCID as well, since you flashed the splash zip to convert back, as it is also WWE(401) firmware based.

this device has
htc/m8_google/htc_m8:5.0.1/LRX22C.H5/434277:user/release-keys

I know I converted my Rogers m8 to GPE. To get around the mismatch, what should I be changing? The phone, or is there an upgrade script in the Zip payload that I can change to get around this mismatch check?

- or - should I be using a different recovery all together?
