Flashing Firmware minus the panic attacks ;)

To anyone wanting to flash the firmware I have a quick and pain free way that I have done 3 times on my m7_ul_ca without a hitch in my step

[url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/t6y8o9l67zcy1vp/firmware_2.12.401.3.zip[/url] /IMG]

1. Download firmware in above link

2. Rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip

3. Put renamed firmware.zip on your external_SD

4. Boot into hboot and READ, INTERNALIZE, & then EXECUTE and let it update its firmware.

5. No PC, no adb, no fastboot, no terminal is needed, just a root explorer to rename and transfer the renamed firmware file to external_sd

7. After you have updated your firmware, make sure to remove the 0P6BIMG.zip from your external_sd because it will ask to update your firmware everytime your reboot to your bootloader which it is technically supposed to do but its unnecessary after you have done it once.

6.Profit!!!!

I take no responsibility for anything going sideways on you but it should not if you have a gsm m8, which is the only device I can vouch for.

Now the updated firmware/hboot will leave the red writing on your splash screen so just dd a hboot of your choice where the red text has been hex removed

I plan on making a detailed complete thread in general so stay tuned. Also will have a frequently asked questions and links and all that good stuff. So if you anyone feels like they are missing someone or dont understand, use google first and if you still have trouble before i get the thread up n going, feel free to pm me and I will try to get you squared away as soon as life gives me some fresh air. Thanks guys n gals for your patience.

Will hboot 3.16 work?
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
You need to flash the firmware zip which is meant for 4.4.3 ...and it should be 3.18 if I'm not wrong...as long as you have the latest firmware installed it will work without problems
[One (M8) Android Development] chrisully:

1 x ONE M8 MaximusHD 7.0.0 - 4.4.3. / S-Off ?????????
[One (M8) Android Development] petalyaa:
Im on CID HTC__044 WWE sea asia. If i flash the firmware will there be any issue?
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
Custom firmware only can be flashed on S-Off device.

Two options :

1. added HTC__044 and MID to android-info.txt before frimware flashing, device is still a WWE Asia.

2. change device CID/MID before firmware flashing, device is converted to Int'l WWE/EU WWE
[One (M8) Android Development] petalyaa:
Thanks. I'm S-Off already but still on stock CID. I guess i'll change to SuperCID.
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
Well ... I guess very soon we're going to see the updated MaximusHD with official base 4.4.3+security fix ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] petalyaa:
One more thing, If I flash this firmware from International WWE, will it affect my carrier network reception or maybe battery life due to different radio in the firmware?
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
I've changed mine ... there is no such effect.

In my sig - I put the original stock software version. What I'm running now is different.

[One (M8) Android Development] exocetdj:
Lol u gotta post that in every thread???? :laugh::laugh:
[One (M8) Android Development] jets76:
Sorry for posting again I got an email with someone quoting the following but the post isn't here? Anyways I'll ask again:

I haven't flash a rom on my M8 yet, I have rooted, supercid, unlocked, s-off. If I make a TWRP backup of my stock ROM would I be able to restore it once I flash the firmware & Maximus rom? I'm just a bit unfamiliar with all this as my S4 was pretty straight-forward when it came to flashing. My guess is I would have to flash the original firmware first then restore the TWRP backup. However, my stock fw is 1.55.661.4 and I haven't been able to find it.
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Yea you can restore it but you need then the older firmware which is meant for you stock Rom ... Only then it works 100% but with s-off you can downgrade easily
[One (M8) Android Development] jets76:
Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
You post this in many thread ... and you are totally wrong to post this in this thread. There is no where people talking about 2.2x.401.x here.

Even OP never say anything about this

When there is a new ROM ready for release, OP will release it.
[One (M8) Android Development] topjohnwu:
Well, there IS someone talking about it actually :). But I agree with your point: no ETA questions!

P.S. The last few pages of revonate has some pictures showing the new base.

[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
Yep .. I know people are talking about this on other ROM threads.

As this is going to be an official release, AFAIK devs usually will release the new base ROM once HTC rolling out OTAs to certain regions.
[One (M8) Android Development] shaunhoop1981:
In version 7.0 it's been reported that screen cast /mirror is working with the chrome cast app have you included something to enable this or is it due to updated base thanks

unsure how to update firmware

FIRMWARE 2.12.401.3 may i know how to update this? On this rom with firmware 2.12.401.3 but I am having no boot screen and reboot is taking pretty long..

any help?
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
You only can update firmware if your device is S-Off.

If your device is S-On, you have to wait HTC OTA update that will be rolling out soon.
[One (M8) Android Development] irwinlee:
Hi, thanks for your prompt repply. i'm s-off but still getting a failed when i try to flash it. However, when i installed the rom i am having the 2.12.401.3 firmware..

but still facing no bootscreen and long reboot time..
[One (M8) Android Development] epsix:
That's because you remove the red text cmd on the splash screen?
[One (M8) Android Development] irwinlee:
i still have the red text there..
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
Flashing firmware and flashing ROM are two different thing.

Flashing ROM is where you put the ROM.zip to your sdcard and flash it in recovery.

Then you have 2.12.401.3 software version no. in settings - about. That is not firmware but software

Flashing firmware is where you put the firmware.zip on your fastboot/adb folder, then put your device in RUU mode then flash it. You'll see on your bootloader OS-2.12.401.3 .. then you have firmware 2.12.401.3 installed.

The easiest way to flash a firmware is follow this this thread where you just rename the firmware then put it in your externalsd then boot to hboot, it will update/install for you when you select yes.

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048

Any further question, ask there as flashing firmware is not ROM related

Hi LlabTooFeR and Team....

I used your ROM on my M7 Dual Sim last year and wondered if you could take some time to develop one for the new M8 Dual Sim model...

The link below includes a TWRP Backup of the base EU ROM - thought that maybe this might help?

Any support would be gratefully received and another donation on its way.

Thanks....

Coming from the M7 on which I used MaximusHD custom rom mostly, and having my new M8 on the way, can I ask what is the preferred method of going about rooting and S-off?

I'm thinking about using the Hasoon2000 AIO kit to get root and Firewater to get S-off.

Just curious to find out some user experience before I start. Hopefully this question is ok, this being a dev thread ;) I've been active in several M7 custom rom threads...

And it's fantastic to see LlabTooFer (and others as well) in here, moving on to the new M8...it's all natural progression I guess :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] houstie:
Hasoon's kit will do the job. Firewater is hit & miss. You might have to take the "sunshine" route for s-off.
[One (M8) Android Development] daffie:
Cheers, appreciate it. Can't wait to get cracking and customizing again... :)
[One (M8) Android Development] houstie:
No probs. One thing I'll say is that if s-off is a must, I'd get this out of the way first as you will likely run into issues if your M8 is not stock. It'll save any hassle later on.
[One (M8) Android Development] daffie:
I remember on the M7 being S-On would cause not being able to flash some (newer) custom rom's. So I recognize the must to go S-off asap. Maybe on the M8 there's an ever greater need for S-off, like you say one might even encounter issues. Good to know, thanks again.

Edit : so are you saying

first

do S-off and only afterwards root the phone? Or is the other way around no problem either way?
[One (M8) Android Development] houstie:
Sorry, should've made that clear. You can root before or after attempting s-off, it makes no difference.
[One (M8) Android Development] daffie:
No problem, thanks for clearing that up. Good to know these things up front ;) I appreciate the help/info.

[One (M8) Android Development] shivasrage:
I have updated from 1.54.401.5 to firmware 2.12.401.3 in OP then back to 1.54.401.5 with no red text

and at least updated to 2.22.401.4 with no red text from vomers thread.(stay with ARHD till Maximus gets updated)

No problems so far.I think best firmware to flash is always the one wich matches with softwarenumber.
